Imagine if as a stunt, QT and Maya got "guest hosts" to replace them for a day, and they were Margot Robbie and Aubrey Plaza, and they just did an actual episode. That'd be an insane get.
I love that QT innocently said "this guy Matt Walsh" like he's just a random dude, but if she asked Hasan who is Matt Walsh he would tell her all about the guy.
Can't decide if not knowing who Matt Walsh is is a good or bad thing. Like I feel like you should know about the political climate of the country you live in but a world without without Matt Walsh seems like such an objectively better existence so...yay blissful ignorance? Lmao

I knew immediately the 10mm socket was lost 😂 it's the most commonly used so it's the most commonly lost. When you replace it after inevitably losing one, it's like christmas when you find your old ones randomly
I thought it was either a 10mm or 7. I always have a bunch of 10s for this reason but its a really sad day when you lose a 7mm. You dont always need it but when you do need it and dont have it, its very irritating.

As a demisexual I've never had a celebrity crush. Ironically I still ended up in an argument with an ex over this question. She refused believe I never had one, thought I was hiding my answer for some reason? She just couldn't let it go, kept pressing me about it for days. And sadly back then I didn't even know demisexuality was a thing, so I didn't really have the words or self-understanding to articulate to her why I didn't have one, I just didn't. Nor could I understand why it was such a big deal to her. Good times.
my reddit account being visible to everyone on the internet is embarrassing to me but sometimes a girl just has questions that only those people can solve
I have been in a relationship for 14 yrs.. we can have a fake hall pass.. we should be able to talk about what we talk to our friends about, with our partners . It's just a talk, the problem with the girl, is that she often meets some of these people that she would actually have sex with.
I'm not sure but the whole idea of a hall pass is that it's almost impossible to happen so yes even if you actually wanted it to happen it's not going to, although i agree that girl meets regularly with the "ppl" lol
26:32 No Maya the 10mm is THE socket for almost everything, it’s basically if one of the 140-ish sockets were to go missing, that’s the absolute worst one to go missing
I assume they were inagining the entire shaft to be covered 🤣 when its mainly just at the base of the shaft, but i guarantee that confusion maya was thinking it "they can have a hairy shaft?" 🤣
idk about the story with the stillborn, i think it's pretty unreasonable to ask a relative to change a name that bothers them regardless of what the name means to her. if they had KNOWN the whole time the name then that'd be a different story, to me that's like asking my sister in law to change their baby's name because it's the same as my deceased brother like i can't put a barrier on the use of the name ya know lol
It reminded my of demi lovato getting triggered in the froyo store. She wants to change her environment so she doesn’t get triggered, but I think the real way to not get triggered is getting over the trauma. Expecting people to be change things when they’re not doing anything wrong, and it’s just bothering you… it seems self centered idk
@tinaa140 for sure, especially because it happened 7 years ago like??? I'm sorry you went through that, and maybe you should focus on working past that trauma instead of guilt tripping your SIL lol
@@tinaa140dude this!!! I completely agree with what both of you said. It reminds me of something I heard awhile back: its not your fault that you have trauma or a mental illness diagnosis, but it is your responsibility to learn how to cope with it. It’s horrible that she lost her baby, no one is denying that, but expecting everyone to conform to your trauma rather than working on your triggers simply isn’t realistic. Especially because she wasn’t aware beforehand about the stillborns name, SIL (presumably) had many opportunities to tell her before she even had the baby.
It is. Masturbation is a healthy way to connect with yourself and your sexuality. Also a good place to explore your fantasies. And fine in a relationship if everyone is on board lol
@@RedstonerD Eh, masturbation is personal. It has nothing to do with your relationship whether you masturbate or not-no more unreasonable to think you get to be on board or not about your partner masturbating than it is to be on board or not with them shitting.
It is but drive to masturbate in men and women typically lowers when your libido is lowered, regardless of whether it’s done for emotional regulation or not, so in that sense it can still be tied to what we often call “sex drive”. But yeah, it’s not always a sexual thing.
Yeah but in this context they were talking about how SSRIs dampen sex drive, in that case masturbation is difficult too because SSRIs can mess with that. So if they're still masturbating, it's not the SSRIs causing them to not have sex.
I watch Alveus regularly and I don't think I've ever seen Maya go through such a rollercoaster as she did with "shaft hair" But Ludwig taking the time to write a free guide for guys to know how to groom themselves safely is very thoughtful
Great episode. I despise Reddit, but The Wheel of Terror worked for the podcast, and the hosts took it in directions that elevated the concept into a great segment which gave the episode structure.
No, Gen Z and Gen Alpha names are unbelievably stupid. I got lucky my parents were so traditional lol and I didn't get named like Jaytheon or something idiotic. There were definitely embers in my High School
I love the girlies but there’s sometimes where I get frustrated with their takes because it feels like there’s a complete lack of sympathy, maya a lot of the time. I don’t think that they straight up don’t care and are hard lined in one opinion but it’s frustrating to hear them essentially say that the 30 year old dude struggling with his relationship and his conflict with his feeling is just in the wrong and he needs to just end it and move on is sad. He’s at least not emotionally inept and can explain what he’s feeling clearly and that says a lot, if I could give him advice I’d say he needs to have a very real sit down conversation with his S/O and come to a decision together. Like this is sometime someones dealing with and it’s very real for that person and it’s something he’s truly struggling with and he sincerely doesn’t wanna hurt the other person, at least as much as someone can avoid hurting them with a situation like that
So, I agree with you. It was interesting that they had little empathy for him, even though I actually do understand why they would be turned off by his words. I've heard friends sincerely say similar words, despite loving their partners dearly (my god, one of them the night before the wedding). It's heartbreaking, but it's not necessarily the end of the relationship, because I think there are lots of ways where relationships are about more than the sex. But. Yea. It's hard. Honestly, my brain even worries a "honest conversation" could be so counterproductive. Relationship ends all the same, and it just leaves lasting trauma for them both, rather than if it just ended some other way. Iono.
maya seems to be offended by the general concept of a man having a sex drive, which i can understand given some of her history with men, but every so often she comes out with the most hardline 'ew evil man' take on some really innocuous things it's also kinda funny from someone who has done a bunch of content specifically about animal reproductive behaviours
I didn't really understand why they were so repulsed by that either. The guy seemed pretty sincere in his love for his partner and did at least have some empathy for her feelings. He also has (according to him) not cheated. It's a very low bar, I know, but considering how many stories QT and Maya have told about cheating exes, doing the bare minimum (aka being faithful and respectful) seems like an achievement (it's not, don't fucking cheat on your partner). I do understand that the language he used was kinda out there. Like there is a difference between "I see women and I am filled with *lust* and need to remove myself" versus "sometimes, I find other women attractive." This dude makes it seem like he has to physically restrain himself to prevent himself from cheating. The other question I have is how much of the lack of attraction is purely physical versus things like her initiating or being more adventurous. Because one of those can not be helped and even bringing it up will only hurt the other person. The latter can potentially be improved with a sincere conversation. And to end with, don't women talk about losing attraction all the time? Isn't that what "getting the ick" is?
@@Ashar121getting the ick is not the same as losing attraction over time in a relationship. Your sense of empathy is also way more limited than you’re giving yourself credit for if you don’t understand how women are imaging the woman’s perspective and how horrible, hurtful, and devastating it would feel to hear that your partner was never really attracted to you, can barely contain his lust for other women, and is on Reddit looking for sympathy because he’s too cowardly to deal with the guilt of leaving his partner. Who deserves to be with someone who actually finds her attractive.
He's being very open and sincere. Yes the situation is sad, but not communicating it is even sadder. I felt a lot of empathy for their situation. I always communicate my attraction or lacktherof to my partner and we just both feel sex is about 1% of our total relationship. If one of us isnt feeling it or we both are, the love has never died. Maybe we're both just lucky that sex isnt really that big of a deal to us. For some guys, I guess it means everything. But love really is the strongest part for us. SSRIs definitely fuck with the body hard, but depression/anxiety is rampant now. Im sure its some modern developmental thing or chemical we're exposed to somewhere but we'll probably and sadly never prove it in my lifetime.
On my mom's side of the family, everyone has a name that they go by that is totally different from their legal name on their birth certificate. So, if I had a child and 4 months after its birth, someone really close to me asked me to change it, I would just give it a nick name and tell everyone I don't call them by their legal name. When they're 16 and getting their first ID they can decide if they want to go by the name everyone calls them or the name on their birth certificate.
I guessed 10mm socket immediately, lol. You have to have it for any work to get done, so its awful to lose. Its like going to eat broth, and your spoons gone
The significance of the 10 mil is that it’s to must used socket, basically any time your doing a repair your going to use. So the fact that he had kept the original one for 5 years is wild
um no that's very different, you're told that there's NO hair there, because nobody ever seen it, and you don't ever see it too, so you move on. you know about it, you're just usually told the opposite
With the attraction thing, even if someone's not my type I feel like I could become attracted to them because of their personality if they're at least like a 4/10 or higher on my personal rating scale. Attraction is extremely important in a relationship and I would never want to date someone that I'm not attracted to because I feel like they could do better.
my ex and I broke up because he wasn’t attracted to me. but I am the one that ended it, not him. I knew we were having problems being intimate, but i was willing to wait however long until he was ready. I waited for almost a whole year after he started pulling away. but I wouldn’t be willing to give intimacy up for the rest of my life. as soon as he told me, I knew it was over.
Maya looks so good without make up. She literally doesn't need it at all. I saw one of her videos... And she was like, "just woke up..." And i was thinking to myself, "there is no way she wakes up looking that good..." Until I realized she wasn't even wearing make up lol. She looks so perfect even without makeup.
I own 6 10mm sockets because I keep losing them and eventually finding them. Almost every bolt on my car is a 10mm bolt, so it is like trying to cut a loaf of hard crusted bread, but everything sharper than a spoon disappeared
It is the 10mm, the 10mm is notoriously missing because it is so common that you’ll set it down after using it and lose it. Tool companies have began selling sets of only 10mm’s because how common it is to lose them.
The name story is wild. And I also think it's unreasonable on a lot of levels. Even being sympathetic to the legit trauma there, I think the farthest I could go is using a nickname. Like maybe calling her emmie, even though her official name is still ember. Just a hard situation. But hard situations often require compromise, not digging in.
Wait why is Maya shaming the dude from r/sex when he's just talking about falling out of attraction with his wife? It sucks but it happens, doesn't make him a bad dude. And yeah, every guy deals with seeing attractive women out in the world and having to deal with those urges, it's definitely not something that is uncommon to all men
I was also confused. It sounded like they genuinely cared about the other person, and wanted to get some advice about how to deal with the situation. Maybe it's just me, but nothing they said sounded particularly nasty. They were just making it clear they weren't physically attracted their partner anymore.
I have a slightly different perspective on that really awful r/sex post. Before I realized I'm a trans woman, I was having similar problems with my relationship. I would become immediately infatuated with any woman I perceived to be pretty, and I had the idea that my partner needed to have particular features/style. I had similarly toxic tendencies that more or less faded away over night when I realized what I was really feeling was gender envy. Upon realizing that I actually wanted was to possess traits/styles, and starting to pursue them for myself, the need to live vicariously through my partner vanished. I'm not saying that poster is also a trans woman, but typically people who are happy with themselves don't feel the need to chase external validation to such a degree. Interestingly the poster specifically mentioned the partner wearing new lingerie to "help" in the bedroom, that's word for word something I said only to realize later it was projection.
For the socket set post: i also guessed it was 10mm when Maya said metric and working on the car and was pleasantly surprised to be right. That one size is used for a lot.
Boy here, best comparison for the socket wrench set for QT is when you have different attachments for your stand mixer and your partner loses the dough hook, socket sizes aren't flexible so it is like losing a kitchen tool that does ONLY one job then it's gone. It is just money but can be frustrating, not worth an argument tho

For guys, masturbation isn't always tied to sex drive, it's equally an emotional regulator, I wouldn't be surprised if it's similar for women
It is. Masturbation is a healthy way to connect with yourself and your sexuality. Also a good place to explore your fantasies. And fine in a relationship if everyone is on board lol
@@RedstonerD Eh, masturbation is personal. It has nothing to do with your relationship whether you masturbate or not-no more unreasonable to think you get to be on board or not about your partner masturbating than it is to be on board or not with them shitting.
It is but drive to masturbate in men and women typically lowers when your libido is lowered, regardless of whether it’s done for emotional regulation or not, so in that sense it can still be tied to what we often call “sex drive”. But yeah, it’s not always a sexual thing.
Yeah but in this context they were talking about how SSRIs dampen sex drive, in that case masturbation is difficult too because SSRIs can mess with that. So if they're still masturbating, it's not the SSRIs causing them to not have sex.
@@bravojeark I commented here but it’s not showing. Anyway, I think the word “libido” works better in this context and agree with you.
I watch Alveus regularly and I don't think I've ever seen Maya go through such a rollercoaster as she did with "shaft hair"
But Ludwig taking the time to write a free guide for guys to know how to groom themselves safely is very thoughtful
Great episode. I despise Reddit, but The Wheel of Terror worked for the podcast, and the hosts took it in directions that elevated the concept into a great segment which gave the episode structure.
is this a chatgpt comment
I giggled at 46:19 when Maya asks qt if she wants to proceed the reddit post, qt says yes and maya proceeds to read it anyways.
when Maya asked if qt wanted to read one and she said yes and then maya read it anyways 😂😂 46:15
10mm socket guy is 100% justified that shit always disappears, specifically the 10mm
it’s something used a lot as well
agree
Maya is the mom that asks "who's that?" when you show her a video from the internet that contains a person.
this was acc a really fun idea for the podcast! would be great to see it again :)
I think “ember” is just a Reddit pseudonym, the actual name is probably more common like Sarah or something
No, Gen Z and Gen Alpha names are unbelievably stupid. I got lucky my parents were so traditional lol and I didn't get named like Jaytheon or something idiotic. There were definitely embers in my High School
Lol QT and Maya reacting to Matt Walsh not knowing who he is, is so crazy.
The babysitter job listings are bizarre I got paid $120 for a new born and an infant and 3 dogs for 4 hours at 16 years old
Maya being so confused about lud’s post and reddit in general is wild
Please more Reddit stories! Love QT’s and Maya’s opinions on these lol
QT is podcast queen/genius/hero. Real shit thank you QTC
12:40 QT saying "happy pride month" after saying "top" is unintentionally hilarious 😂
I love the girlies but there’s sometimes where I get frustrated with their takes because it feels like there’s a complete lack of sympathy, maya a lot of the time. I don’t think that they straight up don’t care and are hard lined in one opinion but it’s frustrating to hear them essentially say that the 30 year old dude struggling with his relationship and his conflict with his feeling is just in the wrong and he needs to just end it and move on is sad. He’s at least not emotionally inept and can explain what he’s feeling clearly and that says a lot, if I could give him advice I’d say he needs to have a very real sit down conversation with his S/O and come to a decision together. Like this is sometime someones dealing with and it’s very real for that person and it’s something he’s truly struggling with and he sincerely doesn’t wanna hurt the other person, at least as much as someone can avoid hurting them with a situation like that
So, I agree with you. It was interesting that they had little empathy for him, even though I actually do understand why they would be turned off by his words. I've heard friends sincerely say similar words, despite loving their partners dearly (my god, one of them the night before the wedding). It's heartbreaking, but it's not necessarily the end of the relationship, because I think there are lots of ways where relationships are about more than the sex.
But. Yea. It's hard. Honestly, my brain even worries a "honest conversation" could be so counterproductive. Relationship ends all the same, and it just leaves lasting trauma for them both, rather than if it just ended some other way.
Iono.
maya seems to be offended by the general concept of a man having a sex drive, which i can understand given some of her history with men, but every so often she comes out with the most hardline 'ew evil man' take on some really innocuous things
it's also kinda funny from someone who has done a bunch of content specifically about animal reproductive behaviours
I didn't really understand why they were so repulsed by that either.
The guy seemed pretty sincere in his love for his partner and did at least have some empathy for her feelings. He also has (according to him) not cheated. It's a very low bar, I know, but considering how many stories QT and Maya have told about cheating exes, doing the bare minimum (aka being faithful and respectful) seems like an achievement (it's not, don't fucking cheat on your partner).
I do understand that the language he used was kinda out there. Like there is a difference between "I see women and I am filled with *lust* and need to remove myself" versus "sometimes, I find other women attractive." This dude makes it seem like he has to physically restrain himself to prevent himself from cheating.
The other question I have is how much of the lack of attraction is purely physical versus things like her initiating or being more adventurous. Because one of those can not be helped and even bringing it up will only hurt the other person. The latter can potentially be improved with a sincere conversation.
And to end with, don't women talk about losing attraction all the time? Isn't that what "getting the ick" is?
@@Ashar121getting the ick is not the same as losing attraction over time in a relationship. Your sense of empathy is also way more limited than you’re giving yourself credit for if you don’t understand how women are imaging the woman’s perspective and how horrible, hurtful, and devastating it would feel to hear that your partner was never really attracted to you, can barely contain his lust for other women, and is on Reddit looking for sympathy because he’s too cowardly to deal with the guilt of leaving his partner. Who deserves to be with someone who actually finds her attractive.
He's being very open and sincere. Yes the situation is sad, but not communicating it is even sadder. I felt a lot of empathy for their situation.
I always communicate my attraction or lacktherof to my partner and we just both feel sex is about 1% of our total relationship. If one of us isnt feeling it or we both are, the love has never died. Maybe we're both just lucky that sex isnt really that big of a deal to us. For some guys, I guess it means everything. But love really is the strongest part for us.
SSRIs definitely fuck with the body hard, but depression/anxiety is rampant now. Im sure its some modern developmental thing or chemical we're exposed to somewhere but we'll probably and sadly never prove it in my lifetime.
The subreddit dragons f**** ing cars is hilarious lmao
the wheel segment was great, would be fun to do again with some other subreddits that weren't part of this one.
see you on the patreon ep
On my mom's side of the family, everyone has a name that they go by that is totally different from their legal name on their birth certificate. So, if I had a child and 4 months after its birth, someone really close to me asked me to change it, I would just give it a nick name and tell everyone I don't call them by their legal name. When they're 16 and getting their first ID they can decide if they want to go by the name everyone calls them or the name on their birth certificate.
At 25:00 without even watching it I know it's going to be the bloody 10 mm socket. He wins automatically.
I guessed 10mm socket immediately, lol. You have to have it for any work to get done, so its awful to lose. Its like going to eat broth, and your spoons gone
The significance of the 10 mil is that it’s to must used socket, basically any time your doing a repair your going to use. So the fact that he had kept the original one for 5 years is wild
The Reddit post that QT talks about with the Prada purse was the very first thing I read on Reddit 😂 thank you for taking me back to that moment 😅
QT: Alexis
Maya: ..Texas
Whyyyyy 💀
Is there a more famous Alexis 😅
Brave of Lud to acknowledge that men over 6ft have shaft hair.
It's so funny when girls are shocked that men don't know more about female products/anatomy, but Maya didn't know hair grows on the shaft
um no that's very different, you're told that there's NO hair there, because nobody ever seen it, and you don't ever see it too, so you move on. you know about it, you're just usually told the opposite
@@neo4r4 Not different. You're creating a double standard.
Gonna be honest. I also immediately knew it was the 10mm socket lmao. 10mm is the most used nut in a socket in a car.
The Ludwig to Wine about it pipeline is crazy…
“Audio listeners, I spit!”
Audio listeners: “We heard”
I instantly knew it was the 10mm socket 🤣
With those glasses and that hair, QT looks eerily like Drew Gooden's wife Amanda
20:00 The entire section of QT being supportive of Maya is genuinely wholesome 😊
49:46 That's a rough one D:
With the attraction thing, even if someone's not my type I feel like I could become attracted to them because of their personality if they're at least like a 4/10 or higher on my personal rating scale. Attraction is extremely important in a relationship and I would never want to date someone that I'm not attracted to because I feel like they could do better.
my ex and I broke up because he wasn’t attracted to me. but I am the one that ended it, not him. I knew we were having problems being intimate, but i was willing to wait however long until he was ready. I waited for almost a whole year after he started pulling away. but I wouldn’t be willing to give intimacy up for the rest of my life. as soon as he told me, I knew it was over.
Maya: Do you want to read one?
QT: I'll do it
Maya: -starts reading
QT's face: 46:18 ☠☠☠
My celeb crush in Anna Kendrick
1. Change name so middle name is ember
2. Tell sister inlaw to call her Emmy tell family to use nickname emmy
I used to be one of those people who’d occasionally check their SO’s Reddit account. All I found out was how big of a nerd they are.
Maya looks so good without make up. She literally doesn't need it at all.
I saw one of her videos... And she was like, "just woke up..." And i was thinking to myself, "there is no way she wakes up looking that good..." Until I realized she wasn't even wearing make up lol. She looks so perfect even without makeup.
celeb crushes - maya and rae
I own 6 10mm sockets because I keep losing them and eventually finding them. Almost every bolt on my car is a 10mm bolt, so it is like trying to cut a loaf of hard crusted bread, but everything sharper than a spoon disappeared
It is the 10mm, the 10mm is notoriously missing because it is so common that you’ll set it down after using it and lose it. Tool companies have began selling sets of only 10mm’s because how common it is to lose them.
This was my favorite episode so far
Ludwig lying about being 6 foot 10 years ago is so cannon
I just realized something about maya is EXACTLY like pam from the office
my celebrity crushes are florence pugh, zendaya, and every twink that zendaya has been paired up with in a movie or TV show
The name story is wild. And I also think it's unreasonable on a lot of levels. Even being sympathetic to the legit trauma there, I think the farthest I could go is using a nickname. Like maybe calling her emmie, even though her official name is still ember.
Just a hard situation. But hard situations often require compromise, not digging in.
Wait why is Maya shaming the dude from r/sex when he's just talking about falling out of attraction with his wife? It sucks but it happens, doesn't make him a bad dude. And yeah, every guy deals with seeing attractive women out in the world and having to deal with those urges, it's definitely not something that is uncommon to all men
I was also confused. It sounded like they genuinely cared about the other person, and wanted to get some advice about how to deal with the situation. Maybe it's just me, but nothing they said sounded particularly nasty. They were just making it clear they weren't physically attracted their partner anymore.
Qt was so confused when maya read it anyways lmao
I have a slightly different perspective on that really awful r/sex post. Before I realized I'm a trans woman, I was having similar problems with my relationship. I would become immediately infatuated with any woman I perceived to be pretty, and I had the idea that my partner needed to have particular features/style. I had similarly toxic tendencies that more or less faded away over night when I realized what I was really feeling was gender envy. Upon realizing that I actually wanted was to possess traits/styles, and starting to pursue them for myself, the need to live vicariously through my partner vanished.
I'm not saying that poster is also a trans woman, but typically people who are happy with themselves don't feel the need to chase external validation to such a degree. Interestingly the poster specifically mentioned the partner wearing new lingerie to "help" in the bedroom, that's word for word something I said only to realize later it was projection.
For the socket set post: i also guessed it was 10mm when Maya said metric and working on the car and was pleasantly surprised to be right. That one size is used for a lot.
Best day of the week is wine about it Wednesday and it's my day off work
10mm socket is definitly a big deal!
audio listeners margot robbie took qts place
23:00 _look down your glasses at that aranciata_🎵
Suffering a loss 7 years ago is far too long to be expecting someone will change their daughters name for you.
Boy here, best comparison for the socket wrench set for QT is when you have different attachments for your stand mixer and your partner loses the dough hook, socket sizes aren't flexible so it is like losing a kitchen tool that does ONLY one job then it's gone. It is just money but can be frustrating, not worth an argument tho
I love QT's glasses!
