My fiancé and I are both big wine about it fans and we are getting married in November!! QT-do you have any lesser known tips about wedding planning that you learned while you were in that business that we should know? And Maya- do you have any good thrifting/ethical consumption ideas that we could implement at our wedding?
Lizzy

Tatatori
(878) 225-5924 it should be this number. Do you need interpretation or just can’t dial out due to your location?
Darcy

yiğit beldüz
what do you think about sabrina carpenter's "have you tried this one" move
conway1308
What are some activities or hobbies you both like to do off stream, either for fun or to help keep yourselves grounded or both? I can take some guesses but I'd rather hear from you! Thanks for all the fun shit you guys do. I watch the pod/streams regularly to relax and laugh to get away from the insanity.
Hoss
What were some of the online names you considered using when you started streaming on twitch? I’m curious what could have been or may exist in a parallel universe
Sergio

Infergo
wtf is a period fart, how is it different from normal? i heard it get mentioned in passing once, i've been too afraid to ask

pinkquartz

Ryan Bond
I think it’s about doing what they love
Ryan Bond
Hardest part about doing big events
Daddywarbucks
QT do you like Arena in league? I enjoy it for the first few weeks, but eventually a meta forms because people figure out what to abuse and it feels less experimental and whacky. I hope the buff you get for going random champ helps with that a bit!
Tito Zapata
I wanna send a voice mail because I have a really embarrassing story but I’m not American how would I call? 🥺🥺
Tito Zapata
When are you guys getting Jhb on the pod? 🧐
Mamoots
For Maya: I have been reading ‘The Insect Crisis’ as a book rec from you and whilst I am finding it so interesting and sharing the information with everyone around me, it is so hard not to get depressed by it. So my question is how do you stay positive and inspired to keep going despite all the bad things going on with the environment? Like are there any particular inspiring nature comebacks or human interventions that motivate you? Do you think it is actually possible to save the environment anymore? This question can also apply to QT but in a human way if you want? With all the horrible human things going on (looking at you America 👀) (I’m English we’re not massively better off here) are there any positive human stories that have inspired you recently? There is so much negativity everywhere at the moment I feel like we all need to be reminded of the positive changes that are happening 🥲
isabeya!
what happened to book club 😔
Amanda Lat
Will you guys do another bake-a-long? A remote bake-a-long would be fun! Maybe like the Selena+chef. 😄
Seth
What was an event that happened in your life that caused you to view, think, and approach something differently in the future? And what was specific moment during that event that made you realize this?
taylorjt
favorite crafts?
maya
as a more genuine question for both of you, what’s your craziest “oh my god, how did i get here” moment in the industry? and as a more dram question: have either of you ever been through a crazy friendship breakup? :) also as quick question for maya, where did the name alveus come from?
the.black.dog.13
to maya: what's the hardest part of running an animal sanctuary? to qt: how is swift feeling today?
Jack Fitzgerald
This is for both of you, but a bit more so QT as i feel like she’s done a lot more different things, how do you guys find direction in what you want to do in life?
ubiiiiiiiiiiiii
I would genuinely love to read a memoir/confessional/tell-all type book e.g prozac nation, girl interrupted (not calling y'all crazy btw), about either of you guys, do you guys have any interest in writing?
ubiiiiiiiiiiiii
when is the wine about it r&b album getting released?
Erika
Questions: 1.) What do you think is the most important lesson you learned from last year and how has that impacted your mental state since it happened? 2.) What's your favorite method to self soothe when you're alone? (i've been really going through it and i want more options outside of just eating to feel better :c )
Fenula
If your house was on fire, which object would you take with you? Provided all your loved ones and pets were safe and your digital data was backed up

Favorite food to make? And favorite food to eat?
Axe Shell
I lost my job recently and getting jobs is quite hard right now, have you experienced something similar and how do you get out of the feeling of not being able to do anything?
Laurel
QT, how would you rank every Taylor Swift album? (1st favorite, 2nd favorite, etc.)
skromch
Are the only times you 2 will ever play co op games be hidden 2 layers deep on Patreon? I think your streamer careers could do with a boost to Gaming Content (and by effect hours streamed), especially Mayo. personal recommendation is you both play through Portal 1 and 2 separately and then play Portal 2 Co-op Together. puzzle game but actually incredibly accessible and insanely well written (number 2 anyway)
tessaxrebbel
Hahaha yesyes, I'm famous now😂😜
Lindsey DeMarcus
..Grr Ludwig 😠
Lindsey DeMarcus
My uncle poured a glass of milk yesterday and they pulled a literal feather 🪶 out of the cup it was so gross. Stay safe.
Lindsey DeMarcus
I know u from ur profile pic and last episode, girly!! 😜
Lindsey DeMarcus
Extra Emily and Fanfan podcast would be amazing 🤩 someone pitch that 2 them
Lindsey DeMarcus
Questions : 1) I know yall are rich🤑 bitches now, but I want to hear more about QTs harder days..(Maya u born with silver soon,no?🤣😂) Personally, I’ve struggled with crippling debt since COVID on top of draining student loans💸, hearing others stories of similar struggles help me feel less alone. From what she has shared with the pod about her days as a baker QT can relate. What not all streamers were #blessed from day 1?! QT had to fight to be where she is now and that is impressive! 2) I really love when u two share your deep dive interests that you speak less about. For example, it’s great when QT shares her deep knowledge of playboy history. Do you guys have any other special interests you share less often you would like to speak about? Thx yall love the pod & love alveus too. Thank u for sharing ur mental health life experiences as well, I am in ur boat and sometimes it does feel like a struggle to stay above water. ✌️💕
Dani
Could Maya do a irl episode with Peach and Rune pleaseeee, would be 10/10 old WAI vibes
Dani
Marriage, general thoughts. Would you? Do you date to marry? Are you waiting for a proposal? And finally, would you stream the marriage 😂😂 Maya ep grilling Lud, QT ep grilling Maya's bf 😂 oh and how was your Valentine's day
Catherine Joyce
Has QT watched the film 'Turtles All the Way Down' or read the book it is based on by John Green? The main character has OCD and health anxiety and I wondered whether you found it relatable. Ludwig went to the film premiere, but I didn't know if you had seen it.
Catherine Joyce
Who is QT's favourite Alveus ambassador? Has she ever given Stompy a hug?
Sophie
What has been your biggest career setback and how did you overcome it?
Sophie
If you had been with a partner for 40 years, and found out they had cheated on you 20 years ago, would you stay in the relationship?
Sophie
Have you ever watched or read something that has deeply impacted you as a person and the way you think? If so, what was it?
Xavier
If one could wave a magic wand and money was no issue, how would you spend your time? (For both) Making events, traveling, spending time with loved ones, animal advocating, etc
Xavier
Or for Maya- who would you bring to Alveus? Could be anyone 👀
Xavier
If you could play Halo with any celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be?
Glitch
What do you think comes first. The chicken or the egg
skromch
Also same question again but if you were the gayest version of yourself
skromch
I.e: if it doesn't count as cheating. Celebrities can include streamers, fuck it.
skromch
Celebrity hall passes?
skromch
Wine About It Wednesday, Let Me Know Thursday - Friday- Sweet & Sour Saturday Press ESC Sunday Realistically I'm gonna need 2 more potentially lesbian girlies to jump in and fill that Friday slot.

skromch
Or Let Me Know?

tessaxrebbel
Is there a 5-year plan for Wine About it? If so, what are some plans for the future?
kron
if you had to choose a different year in history to be born in, which year would you pick? (Assume you would still live a normal, long life. example: you wouldn't die of dysentery at 11 years old if you lived in the wild west or be burned for being a witch in medieval times.)
David Rojas

What's the listener demographic now? And did you guys ever do a poll to see how many audio listeners? I do Uber eats while I listen so I'm strictly an audio listener.
NoNameForMelol
You guys have been streaming for a while. What got you in to streaming and what normie job do you think you'd be doing if you weren't streamers?
emmy ★彡
both of you are crafty girlies and i love that and want it for myself! what are your favorite crafts to make? where do you tend to get materials and ideas for them? what do you do with completed projects (I know Maya has an etsy for some of them)? please just give me the crafting masterclass! tysm and i love the pod <3
Aaron Carlson
Both of you often use your platforms to create a positive effect on the real world; whether it is the Streamer Awards or Alveus or the hundreds of thousands of dollars raised for charity. Can you share a moment when you witnessed this impact firsthand, or a meaningful interaction with a fan that left a lasting impression on you?
Prisha
will the book club ever return 🥲
ed wine supernova
If you had to pick a Disney movie to be magically teleported into for a weekend, plus a fun activity, what do you pick? (ie, poker with Snow White and the seven dwarves, shopping in London with Annie and her mom from The Parent Trap, dancing with the cast of The Jungle Book, lavish meals with Remy from Ratatouille or Tiana from The Princess and The Frog) Optional 2nd step: pick one for your co-host.
Mike

Aliyah
This might be too deep, but if you had the chance to go back to one of your worst experiences and erase/prevent it, would you do it, or has it been important to the making of who you are today?

my fiancé & I love your podcast & listen to it every week! I mentioned to him about this Q&A segment you have going on & if he wanted to ask any questions. with that being said, I do not have a foot fetish and neither does he (hopefully). his question is who has the hottest feet of the people you know?
Tyquarius Lewis
Would you rather find a cure for cancer? But nobody knows and t hey hate you for a different reason. Or would you rather? End world hunger, but everybody loves you and you can never have a moment to yourself.

Ashlyn Jennings
If you were to assign eachother to an animal (alternatively fursonas) what would you assign (i am not a furry i promise)
Kinkade Matthias
Would you consider adding a chat channel for WAI Patreoners? I’m in Jodi’s Open Book Patreon, and the chat there is wonderful and a nice place to interact with the great community, in an environment that isn’t YouTube comments or other social media where it’s full of trolls and spam. I think that would be nice to have here as well.
