Post "[#17] Patreon Bonus - Getting Girl Friends" by "wineaboutit" from patreon

Michael Alexander

This may be the most parasocial thing I've ever done. I subbed to the podcast like 2 days ago and now Im having a stating contest w QT

Josh

it feels insanely ironic to have the demonstration prompt for an AI chatbot be to ask it how it feels about being used as a basis for AI and it says it's uncomfortable lmao

Taylor Stevens

imagine having my name and listening to this podcast episode LOL

Luis A Perez

My OF girl does reply to me herself 😥

MissPieceofCake

that happened to me. I got them consistently for a year and they thinned my eye lashes (partially my fault for itching my eyes/I sleep on my side which isn't great for them). Took about 7-8 months for my natural lashes to return to how they were before. If you're pretty careful with them and don't tend to have any picking habits then I've heard good things but they were just a little too high maintenance for me. I much prefer strips these days.

Yayy I win! 👁️🫦👁️

loved this ep and I love urban rescue ranch he's a goofy dude for sure

how did i lose the staring contest NOOO

Jenny Lyons

Wine about it is my background noise for housework. Just vacuumed my whole house and did the dishes while listening to this episode. It keeps me moving forward. Much love, ladies.

Right. ChatGPT isn't Google. Google is Google. ChatGPT is good for making stuff up

Alec Damsell

I rented a room in a house that my friend's parents owned. My friend was never there, but the roommate that did live there ended up contributing to some stories from hell. Try to avoid having roommates if at all possible.

Michael

Qt is too good at staring contests 😔 And I agree, don't stress too much about the topics! It's more about the good vibes, and the vibes here are always great ✌🏻

Paweł Traser

More staring contests plz

Mike Yuen

working on a totally different thing is a kind of rest too, do something you are happy and interested

Jazzy

Laughed a lot during this episode! I won that staring contest 😵‍💫. Please take a break, you guys! And OML Maya, the conservation stream was awesome (but sad). I love you guys ( I'm drunk, lol) Happy to see the chemistry between you two and always happy for content. Keep having fun with this podcast, and we will have fun (idk why I'm talking like I know the community; I'm a lurker, lmao) <3

To expand on QT's copyright discussion around recipes, one of the key tenents to copyright is a minimal degree of creativity. Copyright law explicitly states that mere listing of contents (e.g. ingredients) and instructions is not protected. It is everything else surrounding a cook book that makes it copyrightable, from the book covers, to the food pictures, to the dish descriptions.

Phil Hatch II

Maya correct. Topics are fun but the enjoyment isn’t reliant on a topic it’s on the chemistry of the two of you talking. The dynamic will always create more entertainment than a specific subject.

udara cs

only you have it. i checked.

So glad for the extra bits. Though, if you ever need to space out episodes more/take time off I'd be more than happy as a patron. Thanks for these again!

Scrando

ChatGPT is pretty useful sometimes but there’s a lot of times that it’s just CONFIDENTLY wrong about stuff

Jessica Stupack

QT I’ll upgrade my subscription if you take a real break for yourself ❤️The real ones get it!

Lindsey

The part where QT talks about not living with other people is REAL though. I had roommates in college and realized that I really do not share spaces well. Haven't lived with anyone since, and have been much happier.

miriam lopeZ

ive only ever watched the j&j podcast and then simplypodlogical.. also...lost the staring contest like 5 seconds in... sadge:(

Bill Gosnell

The staring contest was great.

Rezok

Don't listen to Maya, I enjoyed the staring contest part in the pod and would love it if it was a regular segment in the podcast

Ivan Gomez

Okay I gotta know if eye lash extensions are actually worth it, I keep reading they make your real lashes fall off

Julian Schäfer

take all the time you need.I sub because I want to support you. There is no need to stream x amounts of time for us. You dont owe us anything. We made the decision to support you when pressing the "subscribe" button on twitch or patreon. We want to enable cool stuff and not give the feeling that we are putting you under pressure

Daddywarbucks

Listening to QT have a staring contest with nobody while i munch on a pizza bagel at work at 5am was entertaining

Romeo Mitchell

Ludwig said that episodes only need one good moment the rest doesn't matter

Christian

That AI pitch was absolutely HORRIFYING Jesus Christ

Zay

Good episode.

Haithem Alosaimi

This is the first staring contest I've ever won (barely) then I remembered it's on 2x...

Darren Hertenstein

Fear& could never have a staring contest with Patreon. That is what's wrong with Fear&.

Daddywarbucks

As someone with the opposite problem, its super interesting/odd to hear you guys talk about being unable to rest. Im unable to motivate myself to do all the shit i need to do!

Daddywarbucks

QT people dont sub for the stream, they sub to support you!

Bailey

chatgpt could probably write a wine about it podcast episode if you ask it to i saw MKBHD ask it to write one a video for his channel and it kinda worked

Paralin

Probably not welcome advice, but have you (Qt) thought about not streaming anymore and just doing the podcasts and maybe events? Sounds like you already have basically a full time job even when taking a break. Or join the darkside and be a YouTuber rather than a streamer. You're hilarious, do good collabs, and clearly have some level of passion for organizing things. All of which seem like good traits for YouTube, where you can take more time and be under less constant scrutiny.

TomKam

I'm stoned and on a diet. Watching Qt devouring that pizza is a real challenge for me

tessaxrebbel

Take all the time u need QT, hope it helps even a little bit🫶🏻 Also wanna say I love this podcast, it's so relaxing in a way to listen to two people just talking about 'real' stuff, like how it's hard making girl friends, so thankyou both for that❤️

AJ

i love wine honestly but it makes my cheeks soooooooooooOooooOOOooooo red man

Bruce Wayne

Not that you asked, but because you brought it up; I feel like I can vent. I have not been able to bear listening to the Yard lately. I even cancelled their my patreon to them. Because you are right. It is complete gibberish nowadays and I hate it. They never talk about anything deep or even real, and I can actually feel it rotting my brain.

John

ChatGPT is very stupid. It's a text prediction engine-- basically overgrown autocomplete.

Nate Galasso

You guys are my background noise while I’m working my 12 hour workdays as a tax public accountant.

Klav

and please for the love of god maya you need to stop qt from talking about tay tay

qt's yard impersonation was too real LMAO (i love the yard)

Darel Halgarth

Just heard the "we're background noise" line, and can confirm right now you're background noise while I play Minecraft. You're entertaining even if you're not talking about anything in particular, like Maya says you just have good chemistry.

molly

The convo around living with roommates when you have control issues is so real. I had a similar situation where I moved into a house with 5 of my boyfriend's friends and I never felt more alone or mentally unstable. Girlies with anxiety, don't do it!

nothanks

QT please dont chew directly into the mic :( some of us have misophonia

Michael Simmons

QT deserves a break, she is getting way too much hate and also just pulled off the biggest event in streaming. Everyone deserves to have a break after something that massive, think of it as a reward instead of as avoiding the hateful people on the internet.

MrWorldExtraWide

I think a cookbook of QT-formatted recipes would be a lot of fun

Allen Gray

Plz plz plz qt take all the time off you need. Take a fucking year off if it's what your mental health and happiness needs. That is the only thing that matter

Ayjayy

Taylor has never said she was straight. The quote from the Vogue article simply said that she could advocate for a community she is not apart of. However, that can be seen as the trans community or just openly out gay people, etc. Also we aren't projecting or making theories out of nothing. Taylor is the queen of easter eggs and if she was straight she wouldn't drop queer flagging all the time (e.g. use of the term 'hairpin' TWICE in RWYLM and TGW instead of the actual words of 'pin' and 'hair trigger'). Ok gaylor rant over, QT I wish you luck on your research and keep an open mind. Also, QT you look like Taylor and Taylor's type are people that look like her so I think you're set xD

that AI company story was soooooooooooooooooooo scary!

I was literally watching Urban Rescue Ranch Right before this video and have been thinking for months that I’d love for Maya to collab with him! That would be so awesome.

Helmi

sorry im unsubbing to patreon, im going to use an ai to generate wine about it podcasts instead

Sean

I'd love to see Ben from Urban Rescue Ranch on!!

Squatch

QT thinking you cant do a podcast without a bunch of bullet point topics is wild when you spent most of the last episode having an amazing conversation about one topic and admitted you didnt get to a bunch of other topics yall had prepared. Great eps, keep it up.

SetRange

Those people selling Pokimane's voice AI sound creepy as hell

patrick

qt being bad at staring contests is so brilliantly in character

I had sex with my ex with Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs playing once. Sex is weird when a monkey is yelling another man's name during.

i love listening to this podcast while playing legends of runeterra<3

wine about it

LordeofClover777

Mayas right you dont need topics, you have the yards sauce

Shirley Grace

Maybe QT should get a house organizer and then she can get the reset she deserves?

Ren

Stare (Maya is right. I enjoy your chemistry together and you guys could talk about anything)

Andrew Wolfson

Just want to let you know, I absolutely crushed you in the staring contest. Get rolled.

Stephen Eremondi

My Grandma put together a cookbook of family recipes for her retirement, so that we could all have the recipes. But she also learned them all by feel, so she spent half a year baking, cooking, and converting "I know it's this much of a handful" into actual measurements.

fyi, Maya, if you pay the $20/month for the newer version of Chat-GPT (Chat-GPT 4), it really is a whole lot better than the free version. Here's what it came up with for your question, edited to remove quotation marks which apparently break Patreon formatting. Where did the scientific name for a bald eagle come from? The scientific name for a bald eagle is Haliaeetus leucocephalus. This name is derived from Latin and Ancient Greek words, which describe the characteristics of this bird. The genus name Haliaeetus comes from two Ancient Greek words: halia (ἁλι-) which means sea or marine, and aetos (ἀετός) which means eagle. This refers to the bald eagle's affinity for living near bodies of water and feeding on fish. The species name leucocephalus is derived from two Latin words: leuco- which means white, and cephalus which means head. This describes the bald eagle's most distinguishing feature, its white head, which contrasts sharply with its dark body. In summary, the scientific name Haliaeetus leucocephalus for the bald eagle comes from Latin and Ancient Greek words that describe its habitat and physical characteristics.

Mando Chil

She doesn't have water rn

eirysse

I enjoy just listening to you guys talk about whatever! I think some people like structure more, maybe a mix of both is what's best? idk, but loving how much content comes with the patreon! no complaints here :)

LovedFox

I agree with Maya in that I watch WAI for the chemistry so topics don't really matter to me as long as the conversation is flowing (which it always is). I really think you both could talk about paint drying on a wall and I'd be satisfied with my patreon membership lol Regarding QT's guilt over subs, idk if this'll help but I view me subbing as a thank you for all the content creation someone has done, both past and present, whether that be through streams, podcasts, yt videos, events, and etc. So it's not an investment for the future for me ("I expect at least 10 streams and 1 event Madge"), more so a thanks for creating literally weeks or more worth of entertainment for free. Subbing is also voluntary so anyone who doesn't want to support a CC can simply unsub. Anyway, hope the well deserved break from streaming can help clear the brain fog a little bit<3

Mya

Love you guys and this podcast, I just hearing you guys casually talk, rambling on, telling stories, is very relaxing. I would however suggest maybe not munching during the podcast, your misophonic listeners would appreciate it greatly!!

Kyle

I honestly don't mind the listening to the ramblings of QT and Maya! I think structured content can get boring honestly, but whatever you guys end up doing I know I'll watch regardless. Enjoy your much deserved break QT, without exposing my identity the world of streaming did a number on my mental health and I had a fraction of your fame. To this day, over a year later I'm still trying to feel like myself again. Take care!

Michael T

Great episode. I did not have sex to it but Maya is right we do just wanna hear you talk about basically anything. And you delivered on that promise. So keep it up, great work!

jamiedizzle

I have to agree with QT about the yard, I also watch it every week and it's one of like 3 podcasts (wine about it being one) that actually holds my attention and it's because of the bizarre shit they talk about lmao

Noley Fresh

True! I like him enough though to keep up my paid subscription until I get the 1,900 gifted subs owed specifically to me.

Doctor Bubonic

true jerma owes us a lot of money. billions in fact.

Attabui

Yeah it's crazy how much chatgpt gets outright wrong. I TAed for a systematics and phylogenetics class and for their research paper, a student asked chatgpt to give them ten peer-reviewed articles about their topic. Turns out, when you ask chatgpt to give you research papers, it just MAKES THEM UP. So the articles didn't even exist! Safe to say the student got a zero on their paper. But that's so scary for misinformation

Genaro Pulido

Maya you can't substitute washing your hands with hand sanitizer, please wash your hands with soap!

Ivvyandvine

I’ve worked in podcasting for a few years now so forgive me for nerding out on the topic, I actually think the Yards strength is there ability to sound more like a conversation that you’re being an observer of and less forcefully topics and segments that remind you as a listener that it’s a podcast. It’s more fly on the wall and less third party narrated feel, supported by the set giving us this narrative venue for a conversation to naturally be happening etc. But I would say that y’all have that same conversational feel and a different type of third wall break where you speak directly to an audience and acknowledge their participation in your conversation as an observer. Not to just sound like a psychoanalyst but I think that changes how the episodes are perceived/are recorded. The yard is having a conversation and we aren’t a part of it and if they acknowledge we are “there” it’s a rare moment but it doesn’t really invite the audience into that conversation as a participant. Wine about it is a conversation we are present for and can’t participate in actively but passively and we are being acknowledged as this non active participant to the conversation more. But both shows are more uniquely conversational and less so topics and segments, which as someone who sold shows is literally the biggest difference. In comparison to say fear& is more like a traditional show that is happening that we are the audience of because it has a larger sense of structure driving it and often acknowledges that structure rather than moving through it as if you were just talking to one another. I think the conversational style that is engaging though is what makes a good podcast and y’all literally talked about not making friends for an hour and it was enthralling so you more than have it same as the yard. The yard guys can banter about nonsense but maya is so right that y’all’s ability to talk at length in a way that feels honest and engaging at the same time is a massively valuable skill set.

Iverypt

maybe eat before the episode next time

Noley Fresh

Regarding the streams being worth 25 cents, I think not all streams are made equal. The best example of this imo is Jerma, my favorite streamer. Some of his streams are genuinely worth like $50 to me and at the end of others it feels like he owes me money. Once I feel like I am not getting my money's worth from a streamer anymore, I unsub. QT and Jerma are the only 2 people I am still subbed to.

Michael

I honestly love the bonus episodes a ton. I do feel like you two find a good “chemistry” or vibe after the main episode, and it just feels like two good friends talking. (That said the main episodes are great too! I like both) I don’t need an itinerary or super structured podcast. I’m just here to enjoy listening to a conversation.

TenaciousDealer

Just wanna say try not to worry about the break (real easy i know :/) but I think a lot of your subs who were subbed before will completely understand you needing a break. I'm personally happy to see you take care of yourself, for someone who has to deal with a littany of problems you're unbelievable accomplished and hard working, I honestly think you should try to schedule a little holiday (not an event you plan) regularly you absolutely deserve it. Also another fantastic episode this week, also nice to see that the things you're trying like the book club are working so well.

Tfries_

for the 23434268285th time, you don't need topics, it's about the chemistry! good episode 👍

Sid Raghunandan

love y’all but please reconsider eating into the microphone 💟

Jose Marin

Don’t worry guys I also don’t know what you talked about 😂 I gotta take qts side on this one, def not background noise. For me the best episodes are when you actually have a plan or itinerary to go off

Zay

Awww yeah

Kiera Clements

the only thing i like about AI is how DougDoug uses it. the absurdity of the things it says it what makes it funny. but on the question of topics, i agree with Maya. i'd listen to you guys talk about absolutely nothing. i really don't think y'all need more than a few topics. y'all are good at branching off and making it feel like just a normal conversation, not like you had a specific topic you needed to talk about.

Doctor Bubonic

wan show is a chatting podcast mostly. they dont have any segments, they just have a google doc with topics they might bring up and they write down topics throughout the week (i think they have a writer now actually). theyre actually very similar in how its just two friends talking about stuff for a few hours. wan show does talk about current events, but its a lot of stuff going on at the company rather than tech news, which they have like 10 different channels for and definitely dont need a podcast for. its mostly just two friends talking about stuff and giving opinions about random topics, which is really similar to wine about it. also theyve said a few times that they watch other podcasts to learn from them. i cant imagine theyd sit through a 4 hour tech podcast to find out whats good about it, so theres a pretty good chance they havent heard this before. sorry to the girls if my criticism was rude, i just want wine about it to thrive about it and i thought it was topical criticism since they discussed how they need topics a few times in the podcast, but also said that we dont care about topics and just want background noise. im just saying i liked the style of the older episodes when they would plan stuff out and save things they want to talk about for the podcast

Erin

the staring contest was scary

BubbleGumBlood

Nah i disagree i think that the episode was interesting, i think your criticism kinda comes off as rude like comparing a tech podcast with a chatting podcast is stupid, apples to oranges if i wanted to watch a segmented podcast id watch something else, this is a different product.

Cara

Great episodes this week! Always enjoy watching these while doing work.

I just bought magnetic lashes shortly before watching this episode. I hope it cures my depression :)

the grounding alarm is sending me 😭😭😭😭😭

Arrowni

Here is hoping QT figures out a way to introduce naps into her life longterm, they are really a biological lifehack

Doctor Bubonic

mid bonus episode this week, i agree with qt that you guys need topics beyond talking about what you did this week and what youre doing next week. your chemistry is good but thats only useful for making any topic interesting, it doesnt really create topics out of thin air. easiest topic generator is to answer questions from the audience. the questions are best when they arent restricted just let people ask whatever they want and then get your producer to curate them/do it yourself. good example is that one chatter that asked about female friends, i was interested for the entire 30+ minutes you talked about it even though your advice was kinda ass. pull together as many topics as you can, go through them until you dont have anything you want to talk about anymore, and then fill the rest of the time with audience questions. thats how linus tech tips podcast works, he's pushing 40 with a wife and 3 kids and he still goes on wan show for 4-5 hours once per week and im entertained the whole time also im a $5 tier subscriber and im curious about the trash tv episodes, could you release one of them for free or for the $5 tier so we know what theyre like? i might upgrade to keep watching them. thanks and keep being awesome after a while i think my comment could be misinterpreted as me asking for more structure or segments to the podcast. i think it should stay the same, where its just one long conversation between two friends, but i think you guys need to have some topics in your back pockets or a pool of topics to lean on if theres ever a lull in the conversation like i kinda felt was there in todays episode.

Avery

Same, QT is actually really good

AbaftUser

I subbed during the Streamer Awards because I felt like QT deserved it!

Nivaldo Farias

even if it were just like one hour straight of you guys going meepmoopbipbeeepmapmeeep non-stop to the camera it would still make one hell of a bonus episode .

ItsSebhere

I did partake in the staring contest

Murkus

People assuming your sexuality is so annoying. My friends in college apparently talked about how I might be gay. I'm bisexual/graysexual, but I didn't know that yet in college. Probably because of the graysexual part. But the fact that they would even like wonder about that is just so annoying to me. I'm just me, just let me be me. I can't imagine what it's like to be famous and have people just talk about it all the time.

NallM012

Ok, so the grounding exercise is painful as a lifelong meditator and mental health coach. She is having you go through WAY too much. Its so much easier when doing a body scan, to scan from the top of the head down, identifying just a few sensations as you go down. And the color room thing, again its way too much pressure. "Identify something around you that is nice to look at", or 'see if you can count the number of pillows, and take that many deep breaths'.

Catherine Zens

Qt for the gaylor talk make sure u go deep into the swiftgron stuff too bc i’m not a gaylor but that evidence is wild😭 and dianna removing her wonderland tattoo too..

Mike Turgeon

When he was nominated at the streamer awards she thought he was a teenage minecrafter (by his name alone of course haha) so I'm not surprised hahaha

Nivaldo Farias

naah we dont really mind the topics on the podcast, specially for these bonus episodes. For ex. that last bit where you guys were talking abt who would make the funniest combo if they showed up as taylor swift's bf, that topic was as random as it gets and was soo much fun to watch !! I guess the bottomline is that we pretty much would enjoy just about anything, really. Love you guuys 💞

Snacboi

I lost the staring contest 😭

Catherine Zens

maybe i’d have sex to the wine about it if i could get bitches😔 BTW NEXT WINE ABOUT IT SHOULDNT BE ON HOW TO GET GIRL FRIENDS IT SHOULD BE ON HOW GIRLS CAN GET BOYFRIENDS BC I NEED TO TAKE NOTES IVE BEEN SINGLE FOR A YEAR AND IM TIRED
