not even his therapist understood how it feels like going shopping and having to listen to the singer who just dumped you for his career telling everyone cryptically about it through the sound system of the supermarket...
"nobody knows what it's like to be shopping in Target and hear a song about you playing above you (...) or sitting on a bench in Silver Lake and the people to your right are talking about going to a concert and you're like it's everywhere" I've always wondered about how would it be being on the other side, being the one that inspired a song.. I've always thought about the poetic side of it like "wow, that piece of art is about me" or "I know the details and the references nobody knows about". Sometimes I've thought about the devasting part of all the memories and the emotions entangled in a certain song. However, listening to you talking about it made me realise that I completely missed the "haunting" part, the song will be everywhere, people will know and all I'll be able to do is stay still and wait until it will all pass. A unique experience surely but way less special than I tought (at least from my perspective).
I feel you. And when shannon said people said she is like woman version of connor. OMG YESSSS AND THIS 2 MAKE SO MUCH SENSE I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH BOTH
lil 15 year old me is SCREAMING... two people who helped me through so much back in the day in the same video not to mention the bi panic being so real
Connor is proving he is so not boring. Can I just say I can’t believe people were that hateful to Connor after the breakup. That’s insane. I was fan in 2013/2014 of Connor and the relationship you’re talking about. But I never read anything bad about Connor from the songs. People are crazy.
I’m so confused about so much that was discussed in this episode. What tik tok beef? Who wrote a song about Connor? And how was that public drama if he’s never had a public relationship? Can we normalize context 😭
What I assume it is: connor dated troye sivan back in the day, and they broke up during the release of blue neighbourhood. Many songs in there could be for connor, but specially "for him.". Theres a lyric video of troye explaining "the good side" (which is also about connor) where he says that he would sing these love songs and people would sing along happily but in reality it had just ended (we assume he was taking about singing "for him." live). Look up this video of troye bc it explains a lot
the tiktok beef was about joey graceffa’s ex daniel preda dissing connor and saying that even thought he was jealous of him he’s the most boring guy ever and the whole thing went viral
I love this episode because it seems just like two people having a genuine conversation and catching up. This was amazing, they are both extremely well spoken and clearly very emotionally intelligent. It was really fun to see. Connors comment about media training was funny, I would love to see someone this genuine discuss how having that experience could change some of the ways they communicate. He talked about how it’s almost instantaneous at this point, would that change the ways you communicate with people in romantic relationships?
Hello Shannon, Here are some questions to choose from for the podcast with your parents. 1. What was the hardest and easiest thing (if anything) during or after your divorce? 2. Apart from the bond with your children, what has allowed you to remain close friends after the divorce until today? What is the secret of your friendship? Do either of you have the same kind of friendship with another ex? 3. Did your friendship as exes and having family gatherings and vacations together negatively impact your romantic relationships after the divorce? For example, your partners didn't understand your friendship or didn't like or appreciate your ex? 4. Do you ever regret having divorced your ex-partner or have you thought, without necessarily having spoken to your ex-partner or your daughters, about getting back together one day? 5. For Mom, Dad and Casey: When Shannon introduces you to a new girlfriend and invites her to family gatherings. What do you think? a) It’s normal. b) She (Shannon) must be madly in love. She rarely introduces her girlfriends except the relationships already known to the public. c) Ouch, upon meeting the family, the girl will run away. d)Another answer? Many thanks Shannon for everything you do. I can’t even imagine the courage and self-sacrifice to share with us who you are and what is important to you. It is a priceless treasure. Sol Ps: with or without a hat you look always great!
This episode was so great to listen to and watch. When you started talking about location and how the demographic of queerness changes when you go back home to the midwest I had a pause moment to let that sink in. So I'm from CT in the northeast corner (the quiet corner) and I feel so incredibly isolated where I am as a lesbian woman. I feel like a gay beacon in my town at times and the women are all either straight and dress hard masculine or straight high femme and look at me like a good time haha. It's definitely hot lmao but I want love not to be played with. There are queer women but they are mostly hard masculine so it's so tough to find my people locally for me. Just for a little context, I came out later in life at 29, I'm 31 now. One of the main reasons I stayed in the closet was because of the demographic I live in. Listening to you both talk about LA is just such a pipe dream for me, the closest community I have is in providence RI or NYC but I have to stay in CT at least for another 5 or 6 years until my daughter (who is also queer) goes to college or takes her next step on their own. But anyway, sorry for the long comment haha Shannon, it would be awesome to meet you and also nerve racking 😅 but you seem like such an awesome soul and it feels like we would get along so well. Thanks for the good vibes! Take care 😌😁🩵
i’m halfway through listening to this on spotify but had to come over here to leave a comment … i am in love with this episode. connor was one of the first youtubers i ever loved and it is so nice to listen to your conversations. it has been insightful, funny, lighthearted… all the good words lol. would love to have him back on the pod!
I just realized why he looks familiar. Back in the day, YT would have these montages for pride month and there was one like super emotional one with a bunch of clips of lgbt+ youtubers coming out. Shannon was featured in it too. I remember watching that vid several times and crying (before I even realized I was bi).
Ok FOUND EM. These were the vids: ua-cam.com/video/TMTaf1xgXIA/v-deo.htmlsi=rksJIbJnuq8bXDhY ua-cam.com/video/uem7QFp0uKY/v-deo.htmlsi=KzGPeBRZoNiNQbYe
it's unfortunate, in the dating sphere, to be found highly attractive. so many shallow people who enjoy the attention and ego boost that proximity to beauty brings will glom onto you. they idealize and pedestalize you, never considering, respecting, or allowing you to inhabit - your full humanity.
O2L was one of the first youtube channels I subscribed to and it influenced or motivated me so much that I gathered a couple of my friends to have a serious discussion on starting a similar chanel. Many years later I still have no chanel 🤣
So if I read in between the lines. T wrote a song about C and their breakup and C got hate for it? I don't really understand that though because if I remember correctly in the song in question T admitted to cheating on C? So why get C the hate? Not me hating on T at all, just don't understand how C gets hate. Also do not understand why you would hate on someone at all, especially if you don't know the person in real life.
The industry talk is funny to me. There are plenty of people who have podcasts who are married to quote-unquote “normal people”. Podcasting is pretty normal. ❤I remember dating in LA was a whole bunch of people just trying to date famous people lol! Maybe just look for someone you vibe with. Don’t worry about the “industry”.
Two of my favourite youtube creators I’m so happy i get to witness this crossover... both of you have such positive impact in my formative years of accepting my sexuality and not only that y’all my favourite personalities online bc ur both so authentic, creative and unpretentious which is so rare for online creators/influencers 😊❤
in the real world i still barely see anyone gay far far around me.. the internet definitely does feel bigger than it is, especially in some countries it is still such a beeeeg deal
it is not cold in minnesota right now. it WAS cold, but not anymore. i won't even think of wearing a jacket nor a sweatshirt outside now. sunscreen yes. it's not cold here anymore.
I don't know how to express properly how happy I am to see you guys together. I love both of your artistic work very much and it feels wholesome to see you together (I am still in the beginning of the pod, but I just had to show my excitement!)
I'm curious about what your parents think of your podcast. Also, what career path they had envisioned for you? And have they ever considered being gay themselves?
i simply adore you, thank you for having me ♥
She really is the most beautiful person ever tho
20:45 "I can't speak for men 'cause I've never been one" "speak for them they speak enough for everyone else" LMAO his deadpan delivery is everything
Was not ready to be in my troye and Connor feels in 2024
not even his therapist understood how it feels like going shopping and having to listen to the singer who just dumped you for his career telling everyone cryptically about it through the sound system of the supermarket...

this bisexual is panicking, screaming, crying, kicking her feet and throwing up all at once.
edit: and giggling!! I can't believe I forgot giggling!
I get it! screaming!!!!!!!!
I feel you. And when shannon said people said she is like woman version of connor. OMG YESSSS AND THIS 2 MAKE SO MUCH SENSE
I'VE BEEN IN LOVE WITH BOTH
i clicked so fast when i saw my 2 fav youtube ogs in the same frame
Connor is refreshingly and satisfyingly relaxed and unpretensious while still being a fixture in online queer lore 🥰
You should have either Ricky Dillon or Jenn McAllister, I would simply pass away
but can i say that i LOVE the fact that both shan and connor are without a hat in this episode
i love connor's outfit matching the wall
on a scale from 1 to 10 how cool would it be if we got Renee rapp on here ?

Listening to Troye in the supermarket 😭😭😭
what u talking about he's obviously referring to elton john???
Omg the timing of this guest 😂
Your two characters are such a good fit. It is really pleasant to watch and listen to you guys interact with each other!

Only halfway through but my takeaway so far is CF identifies as good boy and absolutely never daddy. 💅🏻✨
when you remind me to comment or like the video ..i do 🤣 it’s not annoying. happy to do it so keep the reminders haha
Connor!! ❤ He seems like the loveliest and most thoughtful person. Both of your energies are so in sync 🥹

@@crincercwhat songs??
Hello.. tomboys in the hol world 😊❤❤❤
You guys r so much stronger than me if I couldn't avoid my ex I would go crazy
Good episode. Connor was delightful. Loving the inclusive representation of guests. The variety really works and keeps it interesting.
Two of my favourite youtube creators I’m so happy i get to witness this crossover... both of you have such positive impact in my formative years of accepting my sexuality and not only that y’all my favourite personalities online bc ur both so authentic, creative and unpretentious which is so rare for online creators/influencers 😊❤
I love connor so much, this was so lovelyy 🤍🤍

Older audience ? What means old ? 24 ? 30 for sure ....right!? Omg. Is he gay?
they mean cause back in 2012-2015 their audience la were mainly teenagers or younger so yes know that same age group is in their mid 20s early 30s
Amazing conversation!! 🖤🖤
Loved this!! you discussed the past with such rawness and grace. So lovely to see two people I've been following for so long thriving!!

it is not cold in minnesota right now. it WAS cold, but not anymore. i won't even think of wearing a jacket nor a sweatshirt outside now. sunscreen yes. it's not cold here anymore.

Ok but could you be a little less intense about making the perfect intro 😂
I don't know how to express properly how happy I am to see you guys together. I love both of your artistic work very much and it feels wholesome to see you together (I am still in the beginning of the pod, but I just had to show my excitement!)
Idk why but I feel like I’ve always known you knew each other and were friendly but I’m so glad we finally have it documented!!! Haha loved this!!
this might be a bit niche but he reminds me of vivianna miedema for some reason
I'm curious about what your parents think of your podcast. Also, what career path they had envisioned for you? And have they ever considered being gay themselves?
i literally just got off work and saw the title of this episode and excited squealed and panic texted my best friend and i’m screaming
I haven’t watched you in over 7 years and I’m glad to be back
