Damn Lud is a top tier BF. Love ya'll stories.

Lud came in clutch! I’m nowhere near as scared of flying as QT and I stay calm externally but inside I do worry a bit (I used to watch a LOT of air crash investigation growing up). I know it sounds weird but what I do is look at people on my flight and think “well if I’m going down, they’re going down with me”. Ofc that wouldn’t work for QT but I just find it odd that that’s how I sort of comfort myself lol. I could never fly on a small plane though, F that. The amount of crashes you hear about with those ones is terrifying.
Babafunlayo Oke
In case no one else says it, Ludwig was the GOAT in taking care of that issue. (Won't spoil lol)

Thanks!

Hey, wanting to enjoy concerts that way is more common than you’d think! You just gotta go stand at the back of the venue or get seated tickets, there’s honestly way more people who are wanting to just stand and listen than those wanting to go crazy. In venues with standing room only that is totally the vibe going on at the back, you’re not weird or anything and I hope you consider going to see them! I got to see them when they opened for Paramore last year and really liked them!

qt's anxiety about letting loose at the concert is SO REAL, I always worry about that when I go with someone. it's just so weird to let them see me screaming and dancing when on the regular i'm not that kind of person at all lol
mamallama
also, i really like the editing this ep

so much love & condolences to you Maya; sometimes the universe is extremely unfair and just sends a huge "fuck you" and all we can do is just suffer through it until we forget the pain
Marshall Christensen
The guilt I would feel from the amount of money I spent for the trip alone would motivate me to go

Holy crap Maya, ❤️

Holy hell Maya so sorry for everything going on =(. Too much all at once.
Jonathan Jones
Thank you so much!
Lindsey
I think you might need to update your app! Patreon changed the way podcast episodes are posted, and I couldn’t see video at first until I updated. Hope it helps🙂
Lindsey
Also, Maya I’m so so sorry for your multiple recent losses. QT, hope you feel better soon. Thank you both for another amazing episode🫶
Lindsey
I’m ALSO having a horrible December… my dog passed away last weekend, she definitely older but I wouldn’t say it was expected, and then my anxiety and GERD is acting up so every morning when I wake up for work, there’s been a 50/50 chance that I instantly throw up… so I feel you guys😭🩵
Mitch Mitcherson
Not wanting to fly Boeing is very reasonable.
Jonathan Jones
No video on the last two podcasts and bonuses? What is happening?

Holy shit Maya, I'm so sorry you've been going through all of that. Hope you're hanging in there <3 When it rains, it pours...

Thanks for this 🫂

Sorry for your losses Maya <3

I've never been to a concert because I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I just want to sit there and listen I don't want to sing and dance but feel just existing there would be weird. Really want to go see the Linda Linda's but all that on top of being an "old" man going to see a bunch of highschool kids. Weird

I had a friend who had a similar experience to maya at one point where everything bad happened at one time. Her one dog passed then the next and then her horse and then a tire hit her car on the freeway (she was fine), etc so it is very unfortunate that this can happen all at one time

Clocked I’m driving to work

also, as someone with horrific anxiety that frequently doesnt go to things bc i'm tired and the anxiety doesnt seem worth it, it's pretty cool to see someone do it anyway even though it sucks. like so often i'm avoiding the anxiety/aftermath of things and my therapist is always like "but are you glad you went" and sometimes it's like... "well still no but i think i should be" 😅
Grace
i hate stands/seats at concerts, the vibe is always off. but i'm like a line up early front row barricade girlie lmao. ur right there, you've got something to lean on, but you dont really have much room to dance so you can just sing along loudly and it's so fun to me

yippee

Half of your face would have a “droop”. Meaning its paralyzed and you look fine to me

as someone living in vancouver, i hate it too dw

This bish seen Taylor Swift 3 times and I didn’t get to see her even once, So not fair(I pay money to watch this podcast and love watching it every week please don’t take this seriously)

I'm an hypochondriac too, I relate so much with QT's experience and the flare ups can be really debilitating and isolating. I found a GP who's informed and super empathic about it and it helped me a lot.
Tyler Horn
The thing about Hypochondria is it causes insane amounts of anxiety. The thing about anxiety is it *can* cause physical symptoms that seem like other conditions. It's a never ending cycle. I hate it

Vancouver in the summer is definitely the way to go if you're staying close to the city. In the winter it's all about travelling up to Whistler and hitting the ski slopes.
Brian Cartwright
Hearing QT talk about her feeling like she is having a stroke was very calming in the sense that it is so so relateable. I'm also hypocondriac, and I've been feeling similar the past few weeks. My left arm has been numb/tingly, most likely due to how I sleep on my side, not due to having a stroke and heart attack and etc. It is a sensation that is so hard to describe to others in terms of why hypocondriacs feel the way the feel, and while I wish none of us felt that way, it is relieving to know that we are not alone in the way we feel.
Treyden Talbot
My dad had a stroke and early on they misdiagnosed him as having a Complex Migraine which apparently has most of the same symptoms but none of the long term consequences. That could be QTs days-long headache and tingles

I don't even know if maya will read this. I was heartbroken hearing about the ambassadors passing away, and it broke my heart even more to know that you've suffered even more pain and loss during the same week. I hope you're able to heal, and grieve comfortably.

Omg mayaaa what a week from hell wtfff
Melanie Stewart
I know you are tired of hearing it qt, but the reason i am proud of you isn’t just getting on a plane, but you beat your patterns and your fear! Knowing that all these ocd signs were trying to steer you away in fear, and you still went past it and did it. You’ve talked about the patterns of ocd and how listening to them makes it worse, so i’m proud of you for beating your own brain!! :)
soloPFL
On some days just taking a shower is a win. It’s so sad that qt seems to be conditioned not to feel good about accomplishments. Is that a Mormon thing? But I get that if everyone is proud of you for seemingly small things it can be frustrating at some point.

I wonder if they will ever say the hotel name, when I went to Vancouver I went to the listel hotel cuz it had great reviews but it was ass and expensive like 400$ a night.
Darkrow
My December's been awful. :(
This Guy
you know what I want a christmas card, hopefully I'm a part of the lucky 30
Michele C
I love concerts and I love so many artists … am I’m exactly like maya when I’m there. I slightly sing along and slightly sway and fill in gaps of awkward by recording.
LanitaDelBBL
ngl when i saw taylor in indy i let loose in front of those random families and tbh they probs judged but too much money was spent to care lol
just erik.
First of all, I am in love with Maya's jewelry today, second, just thank you both so much for putting out awesome content even when so much crazy shit is happening around you. I hope, you'll take a break or sth <3
Darren Hertenstein
*immediately hit with everything Maya has gone through the past week* 😭😭😭
Darren Hertenstein
Wait, Maya's nails are FIRE.
Kit Kot
the best part of them going was getting to hear the story on the patreon
Marnie Cunnington
I was at the last Eras show, I was also surprised she didn’t do you’re on your own kid but she loves New Romantics too much. I made an ungodly noise when she played the Manuscript, it was the only one I guessed correctly. I wanted to trade bracelets but I was across the stadium from them 😔 But I unfortunately feel for Maya, I lost my 2 year old pup to Lymphoma 3 weeks ago and went to the Eras tour to lighten my spirits
Carmen Ramirez
the rental car bit was somehow the funniest shit
Michael Hendrickx
i think there's a big difference between "im Happy For You" and "Im Proud of you". cus one is just sharing joy but the other implies some part of responsibility. why are you proud? you dont own me
Rocky
These last 6 weeks have been AWFUL. Getting depressed and disassociating which is negatively effecting my relationships. 🙂↕️
KT
Sympathies to maya, I'm so sorry you're going through all that, what a nightmare. My December has also been terrible. The vibes the last few weeks have been absolutely rancid.
Faye852
wahoo!
Jolie Schrage
I don’t know what else to say other than what the f*ck. Knowing only about the ambassadors I was so devastated personally and for maya (sorry parasocial)- but hearing everything else??? Wow. Love on Bella as much as you can, dogs are the best of us. sending good vibes.
Andrei Bahena
Animals are so cool I wish Maya was real
