Use me as the "have Cari on the podcast" button 😁
As long as fans were tame and kind to both of them, I would like to see that. Also, Rose and Rosie please!
Nah because that’s their business
omg yes
@@morganbaldwin4828it is and Shannon needs to decide - however asking quite literally who should make an appearance on a podcast about past relationships does automatically push that answer. And she addressed she would talk about the song as well.
That being said I would really love to see Cari as a guest :D
like if you're feeling nostalgic
Would it be weird to request Rose and Rosie?? Idk contextually how that would work for the podcast but... I love seeing you all interact
YESSSSSSSSSS!
OMG YESS WE NEED r&r and Shannon 😭🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh my god YESSS I love their dynamic
You mean Spon and Sponsie who have their podcast behind the paywall?
Please THE LAst time I remember watching Shannon was that collab with Cammie who said “when do you post?” 😭😭😭 also yes please invite THE ROSE AND ROSIE
Listening to your podcast out loud in the home I share with my girlfriend compared to your early youtube videos in my childhood room (with earphones in ofc so my family wouldn’t hear) is really something - thank you again all these years later for being a part of figuring it out for so many of us! Excited for this new era
It feels so insane. I feel like I'm 10 years younger but I know myself so much better now. So grateful to Shannon for everything she is
this 🥹 I didn’t even realize until I read your comment. Such an amazing feeling 🩷
can't even tell you how much this comment means to me.. the way we're all growing up together is so beautiful and something I'm forever grateful for!
ohmygod literally me too
Dude I feel this comment so hard. Watched Shannon when I was a young teen alone in my room with headphones for the exact same reason living vicariously through her, the highs and the lows. I never thought I would actually ever have those experiences myself. Now I'm watching this after my own devastating heartbreak (life lesson) and later in the present with my wife...
Happy to grow in this community with you guys. All the best to those in the closet who believe they'll never have these experiences (you will, it genuinely gets better), those going through the lows (breakups, heartache, not wanting to be single (you'll learn through all these experiences, patience, your girl is coming, and you're on the path preparing yourself to be the right one for her too)), and those going through the highs (we never thought we'd make it, but damn does it feel good to be here)...
As a very famous Brazilian song goes, "dias de luta, dias de glória" (days of battle, days of glory)
Would love to see Camie make an appearance!
Do they still talk?
@@hebbbby I don't think so, but Camies still on UA-cam. I bet she'd do it if Shannon invited her.
I believe Shannon and Cammie have run into each other a few times while with their significant others (Becky and Taryn) in LA. I think she privately congratulated Cam on her engagement. They seem to be on great terms. Just living their own lives but genuinely happy for one another. How far they've come 🥲
@@hebbbby Cammie and Taryn played truth and drunk on their October Podcast. They answered listeners questions about fuck, marry, kill each others exes. Taryn said she would marry Shannon and kill Kara lol. I think it's weird for Cammie to be a guest because she's married but it would be interesting if Cammie and Taryn were on Shannon's podcast
@@3Oh3metrostation Yes, Taryn answered in her story that she and Shannon, Becky had met and said they were nice.😊
Would love to see you and Cammie talk about growth and the topic of how one of your first significant relationships have shaped your future relationships.
Oh yes!! I love the specifics of that...the growth and how impactful it's been post-breakup with your other relationships. I love the self- reflection in that.
This
The queen of lesbian youtube is back 🥳
Definitely an OG, but I feel like Jenna Anne is the queen of lesbian UA-cam 💯 would be sick if she got her on!
@@Cityof7headedBeastswho?
@@emmem4500 Look her up. U might also know her by Jenna Embers. She doesn’t really post anymore and hasn’t for quite a long time but way back in the day she did cover songs and original songs and they were extremely gay. Like one is called girl team where she sings about being on well the girl team. Another one is literally called the gay song which u would have to watch the re-upload someone die cause it seems she took that one down for some reason. She was also in a relationship with with Natasha Ponomaroff (who was in Hacker Girlfriend if u remember that Video from Stevie). But yea we’re talking like over 10 years ago. It’s crazy how everything is so different now from back then.
Requesting Deb as a guest, her fans miss her 😂
Omg definitely second this
i 3rd this!!!! ❤
Yes please!!!
I'm getting vampire vibes. Shannon doesn't age.
Pretty
You glow differently when you actually have a good skincare routine and uhm special type of juice
I'll take it 🧛♀
Facts
"You may be hungry - or in my case thirsty. Need a Beveridge?" I choked
I forgot how funny shannon is in the most endearing way
you were supposed to forget about that...
@@nowthisislivingthat part was adorable and one of my favorite moments of the podcast.
ALSO here are some people I’d LOVE to see on the podcast: Rose & Rosie, Amy Ordman, Ally Hills, Stevie Boebi aaand… Cammie???
i agree with ALL of these people
I would love to see Ally, I feel like she also has this old narrative around her name but has had a lot of growth since then (seems like it from her spotify and insta). I think she would be a great guest to talk about toxic realationships and learning to set boundaries etc.
@@vannija Yes!!!
Love the Ally Hills idea!
Cari and Cammie absolutely have to be on this podcast. ‼️‼️ (but I think that’s obvious) love this pod!
You already know the answer! We all need to see Cari Fletcher on this podcast!!!!!
It’s not gonna be Exes and Os without Fletcher
I honestly forgot they dated
@@MISSMADISONMEDIAconsidering the drama around it I suppose that it was a big contributor to Shannon starting the podcast
The bad jokes…the calming aura… the nostalgia!! Girl I am proudddd! But MOSTLY the growth❤️
some things never change.. but some things do too apparently!!
I never comment on UA-cam videos. But, this sparked so much nostalgia and peace within me that I am compelled to let you know how much your channel has meant to me. I watched, listened, and laughed to this episode while getting ready for work this morning. I’m edging 25, and I just came out as gay to my entire family. I went from binge watching videos as a young teenager in secret to listening out loud in the little apartment I share with the woman I’m so madly and *proudly* in love with. So much has changed since I started watching your life unfold into the beautiful life that it is. I grew up watching you, and I felt such jealousy about your relationships, being so freely and openly queer. At that time, I never thought I’d come out to myself, let alone everyone I loved. I was so afraid to be who I am. Your content about queerness in a conservative state gave me so much strength and hope for a future where I could be unapologetically myself. As a closeted 15-year-old girl, your content made me feel visible. Shannon, as a huge fan of you and your content, thank you for your vulnerability. Thank you for sharing your life with so many strangers. I can’t imagine how scary that is - but you’re making a difference in not only my life, but by the looks of these comments, *so* many others. I’m so excited to watch this podcast as an OUT gay woman. 🏳️🌈
Congrats on how far you've come 🌈
You’re doing good we’re here to support your journey
the nostalgia and peace is felt by me too.. such an overwhelming feeling coming back to this platform in such a big way. and such an incredible feeling reading comments like this.. it's like coming home in a sense. I'm so happy that your life has changed so much and in such beautiful ways. sending you so much love and appreciate you sending it to me!!
Awwwh that's so sweet ❤️ yess she's literally a hero
@@emmahudson4931 :’) thank you so much 💜
"my comfort level is to put everyone above myself so I don't have to think that much about me because I stress myself out" its so real and relatable omg
we gotta work on that lol
@@nowthisislivingyep we do and to therapy we go!
tell me you're a libra rising without telling me you're a libra rising! 😅 (so relatable)
Shannon being adorable and flirty is everything i didnt know i needed
“I know my audience is growing up with me “ 🥹😭😭 crying.
That's so true actually ❤️😇
8:09 We want to see Cariiii pleaseeee!! 🙏🏼
Finally! :) I've been watching you for 10 years ,since your 'it gets better' video with your mum. You helped me so much with my sexuality. It's amazing to see how you grow as a person and I'm super excited to have you back on youtube :) And definitely I'd love to see Cari and Cammie on the podcast as long as it is not uncomfortable for you ♥Also, if you could get Giolì & Assia to your podcast that would be 🔥
Please bring Cari!
The nostalgia I feel right now watching you oh my goodness... I found you in 2016?? 2017ish?? I was coming to terms with who I was and your channel was like a safe space for me. To see you back and making videos at a completely different stage in life is a crazy feeling but I love it. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us!! Welcome back!
i relate so much to this
me too
@@Itisdania
I'm so glad to be back!!
I found you in 2016 also. Right before you and cam broke up 😂
I was turning 30 and freaking out.
Omg both Stevie AND Shannon coming back to UA-cam!!!! So excited 😀
OMG Stevie should be a guest 🤯
@@3Oh3metrostationYes!!
I was thinking the exact same thing @@3Oh3metrostation!
gah thank you for this. i’m 30, a lesbian, and also just getting over my 3rd breakup too. i really needed to hear this. especially the parts about exes saying crap like “right person, wrong time”. my ex said that when breaking up with me and at first it felt like it broke me and now it just makes me irritated. i’m learning there are no “right person, wrong time”. there are plenty of right people/right times and anyone who says right person/wrong time needs to reevaluate themselves.
there are plenty of right people and right times. you're so right!!
no SAME. my ex gf and I broke up last year after 4 years/ thinking I would marry her and I was so stressed out about starting over at 30 and upset that I moved across the country lmao. I’ve been single for the last year which is unheard of for a serial monogamist like me but now that I’m feeling ready to date again I swear it’s been so much harder than it ever has in the past. I’m so much pickier because I’m older, I’m so firm in who I am and what I need, and add in being gay that statistically gives less options. Life is just hard, that’s all 😭
Hard disagree. Just because you like someone and spending time with them, doesn't mean you're in the same place in life or that you want the same things. I've gotten back together with one ex after being with them for a year for the first time and the next time we were together for 5. Sometimes you need to work on yourself and your goals before dedicating your life to another person.
New drinking game: Take a shot every time Shan says “straight” or “third breakup” 😂
on the floor..
Should I send you my medical bill for the alcohol poisoning...?? 🤣
Cari Fletcher for sure.
Love to see you back Shannon! Would love to bring Cammie, and maybe Cari in the future.
Your community is still here, and we have been waiting patiently for your return
We love a Shannon come back!
invite Fletcher as a guest!!!:))))))
I would love to see Cari, Cammie, Ally Hills... I love having Shannon back on YT!
u know who we wanna see CARIIIII
Aw Shannon, I'm so glad you're back. This podcast made me reflect on the fact that I've been watching your channel for almost 10 years now. Back then, I was in my last couple years of high school - a young gay fighting so hard to get out of the heterosexual, small-town mindset. You were such an outlet for me - I felt seen and excited for the world ahead. Fast forward to now, and I'm heading into my late 20's and am in a completely different era of my life, surrounded by a heartwarming queer community. Wild to think that we've all been growing with you, quietly in the background. Thank you for creating this safe space for us. It's been really cool to see you transform through the years and watch your passions shift and develop (like damn, she makes cyanotypes, too?!) And please - enjoy your time being single! Actively choosing to invest in yourself can lead to incredible things.
And as a side note: If you're on friendly terms, I think bringing Cammie back would be cool (I know you have before, but it's been awhile). She knew you at the very beginning of your journey. Hearing some reflections about how you approach relationships now vs. then could be cool. Thanks again :)
Well said.
I love reading about how all of us are in such different parts of our lives.. it makes me so happy and brings me so much peace!! thank you for sticking around
@@nowthisislivingYess. I was almost 30 when I found your channel. How I'm almost 40 🥺
this video should have been titled "Shannon Beveridge convincing herself that she have to be single for 31 minutes straight(gay)”😆😆
honestly.. should I change the title??
@@nowthisisliving absolutely 😆❤️
cari !! hehe
Cari! Def Cari needs to be on the podcast!
Don't forget to like the top comment to make sure you're one of them waiting for Cari 😂 every vote counts
Yeah, I'd imagine it would be nice if when the Becky's So Hot situation does get addressed it's on the episode featuring Cari (if there will be one). Either way, super lovely to have Shannon back on UA-cam regularly!
When she gets sober.
@@aleta5873 wdym?
@@aleta5873that’s an odd comment
glad to have you back Shannon, take care!
Ashley Gavin!! Host of the podcast "We're Having Gay Sex". Y'all could talk about being OG UA-camr vs. a Tiktok/comedian/podcaster lesbians
Shannon knows Ashley and the podcast. She was on it twice. :)
Can I just say that I think the name of the podcast is brilliant anyway excited about this 🎉
thank you!!!
I would love to see Zolita at your podcast!!!
YES
we need cari fletcher on the podcast👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
and Rose and Rosie
no
I don’t think that will happen 😂
A podcast about x's and o's? Gotta have Ashley Gavin on at some point. Alayna Joy would be fun too. She's a late bloomer lesbian who is currently getting a graduate degree to become a sex and relationship therapist for queer people, so might have some fun insights.
Of course cari Fletcher. Would be nice to see you two grown up now having a conversation . You're so cute. Congrats on your new podcast🎉love ya
Can you add Amy Ordman one day as well? I haven’t seen her post anything (UA-cam wise anyways) and I quite miss her. I don’t do social media (not my thing) and I’d love to have all of your presence again. ❤
I’ve been here since BEFORE 2016 and I have been waiting like 8 years for the cammie tea so if you could have her on that would be sick. Obvi Cari too but that seems like low hanging fruit given that she has a song out about u and u have a podcast about ur exes lol.
All your exes have one more thing in common, they’re all white 😅 would you ever date a woman of color??
Deb and Cammie are a must!! Rose and Rosie would be awesome too!! So glad you’re back!! I’ve missed your beautiful self!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to see Cammie Scott or Rose and Rosie. To definitely go back to 2014-2016))
My favorite lesbian UA-camr
ROSE AND ROSIE, CAMMIE, AMY
You walked so the rest of us could run ❤
You’re okay Shannon! I also just ended my 3rd relationship at 29. Now i’m 30 and single, too. We’re okay!
i
So proud of you for starting something new. You’re going to be great! I feel like you helped so many people when you were younger and now you can continue that. Love you!❤
Momma bear is here and yay
Who else would like to see ALLY HILLS in the podcast ??
I’ve been here since around 2011/2012 and the Cami days. Back when Cami and I both went to the University of Pittsburgh! That’s how I discovered you. I’ve loved you ever since 🥰🩷 you feel like family at this point. After meeting you a few times in person over the years, I can confidently say that you’re one of the most wonderful humans ever. I’m forever in your corner and rooting for you! 💕
the intro threw me into an immediate war flashback LOL
Former Tumblr follower here! I always thought it would be cool if someone could make a documentary or podcast about that epic lesbian Tumblr universe where many of us found other queer people and relationships for the first time. It meant so much for an entire generation of us! I grew up closeted in a conservative country and used to read your blog and watch your UA-cam videos during my coming out process in college. I remember the night I discovered Tumblr back in 2012, I was searching for "lesbian communities" on Google Images and stumbled upon a Buzz Lightyear meme that said "On Tumblr.... many lesbians" lol. Fast forward ten years later, it's amazing to watch your videos again , but this time I am also 31 and going through my 3rd or 4th breakup, feeling a bit ashamed, freaking out about age, trying to have some grace with myself and making an effort to be single for the first time in a decade. And you know what? Looking back at my 20s, instead of feeling regret, I choose to say that I loved deeply and had fun. I did the best I could at a time when the word "therapy" was not anywhere near in my radar. Yes, lots of tears, difficulties, and rejection, but also growth! Many of us had the privilege to go from those Tumblr years leaving our conservative cities and flying across the country for our long-distance secret girlfriends to literally owning our identity, being out and proud and trying to help others find their true selves as well. I personally ended up working for an LGBTQ non-profit! And now you are back at it creating content that's already impacting people's life again! Btw this is my first ever UA-cam comment lol in summary: Thank you, Shannon!
Taryn & Cammie... Taryn DID say you were her favourite ex of Cammie's on their podcast haha
This is my safe space. Welcome back Shannon 😊
our safe space*
It would be interesting to have you talk to Rachel Ballinger, because you have very different contexts, and just talk about how lesbian culture / community looks.
Obviously cammie but would love to see Ally Hills and Kristen McKenzie and Steph Leclare
I've just listened your podcast on Spotify and girl, thank you. I'm 33 years old and single, been for a while now and yeah, it's a bit scary knowing I'm the only single person in my friends' group and family but at the same time I'm quite happy about my life and I think that's very important too. If there's someone out there for me, I will meet them at the right time.
Do you still talk to the Aces? They’d be a cool group to have on !!! ❤
Needed to say that, as a woman in my 40s and in the exact same place you are at (imagine!) please please please get rid of any kind of guilt! It's all coming from our early years and the way we've grown etc etc. 31 yo, come on! You are so f*ING young, gorgeous, down to earth and sweet woman and I know you re looking for your soulmate, but to find it you need to explore yourself and now is the right time and the perfect age. Your soulmate will come when YOU are ready to find her. Don't put any more weight on your shoulders with guilt, you have to live your life exactly the way you want, and the way that teaches you all the lessons you need to take to be as much complete as anyone can be. I really hope I'm making sense because I'm Greek and my English is so & so! ❤
My vote is for Alayna Joy!
I used to hide away in my bedroom years ago watching your UA-cam videos. It was the only thing that gave me a sense of calming and normalcy and not feeling so lonely and scared as I was deep in the closet. It’s come full circle. Now I’m watching again, with the person who was my best friend at the time(she didn’t know I was gay) and is now soon to be my fiancé. Now THIS is living, let me tell ya. Thank you Shannon ❤️❤️
Alayna Joy, Ashley Gavin, Lauren (Poppy Laur) and Dykanite would be great guests!
Feed us Shannon 😅
This was a really great episode, and i am so excited to finally be hearing more from you. you’re someone i always had so much respect for because i always felt like u had strong moral and values which aligned with what i felt, and also because of everything you’ve done for me and the community
THIS^ Like I have so much respect for Shannon and her values.
Becca Tilley would be an awesome guest.
….and/or with her sisters would be a really fun episode or with Hayley.
Remember discovering your channel when I was a senior in my high school still discovering myself whether I was gay or not and right now I’m 27 years old with a girlfriend. It’s crazy how I’ve been a subscriber of your channel for 10 years now and watch us grow into our more comfortable selves. Thank you or making youtube content again.
P.S. I’m a fan from Thailand.
Cari, zolita, Camie, Ally hills, Renee Rapp, Alissa Butt,
You mentioned that you are single now. Sorry to hear that. What comes to my mind is the book written by Dr. Seuss called "Oh, the Places You'll Go!". Using quotes from the book I would say you are here:
"......
All Alone!
Whether you like or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
........"
But I think you will be here:
".....
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
......"
I liked the episode 1 :) and I will watch the next ones too :).
Awesome first episode! I’m in Australia and sat up until almost midnight to watch. It’s probably kinda obvious but I’d love to see you talk to Zolita! Maybe Tatchi too!
"Speaking of guests, who do y'all wanna see?"
Me: *runs over a small child, casually, not-so-casually speed walking to the comments 😮💨
This is a 2023 highlight for me. I remember being a teenager questioning her sexuality and your videos were such a safe place for me. My inner teenager is so grateful your back
Absolutely love this, been following your an Cam since day 1 both are amazing I would love to see Cam come back an maybe talk about growth y’all have and the things that helped shaped your future relationship but I would also love to see you mom on her seeing how she supports you so much
Actually, someone who has been through 3 big breakups is exactly who I would want to hear advice from.
Wow, what a breath of fresh air to see these 2016 Shannon vibes in 2023, almost 2024. We all needed this, thank you 💕
Shannon you are still the best and cant thank you enough for sharing your life with us! You are the best role model for LGBQT people!
I'm loving the podcast, but I think Shannon needs to starts talking faster for this medium, I listened at x2 and it was barely enough
it’s so crazy to think i’ve been here since the tumblr days. i’m sure reading all the comments you realize the huge impact you’ve made on so many young queer people and i’m so glad that i got to be a part of this journey. watching this podcast brings back so much nostalgia and i just have to say thank you for creating such a safe space for us and thank you again for bringing it back. we love you shan ❤
Loved the episode! Just curious if it’s wednesdays that this will be dropping going forward? And will it be weekly also?
yay!! yes it will be wednesday mornings 🫶🏼
god i love this podcast! so much! this is so exciting, i haven’t ever felt this connected to a podcast or its topics and i cannot wait for the next episode. it comes at a time in my life where i need this more than ever before. thank you so much shannon!!
ilove you shanonn beveridge ❤
You should have Nicole Coenen on the podcast! For some Canadian lumberjack representation
Welcome "back", Shannon! You've been such an impactful part of so many people's coming out and sexuality journeys, and I'm sure I speak for lots of the community you've built when I say I'm so happy to see you creating this new space for your voice and perspective to be heard. Being online and putting yourself out there again is not the easiest thing, so big congratulations on launching the podcast. I'm so looking forward to listening, and I think you'll be able to foster a really supportive space here.
If you are both comfortable with it, I think having Cammie on the podcast would be interesting, not just because she was your first extremely public relationship, but also because that relationship existed during a time online when there was very little representation, and thus your relationship got put on a pedestal that I imagine was very challenging, given you were both young and still figuring things out. I'd love to hear the growth you've both had since then, the impact that had on you and the choice to keep next relationships out of the splotlight more, as well as reflecting on that unique situation of how you navigate your first very public relationship.
So excited about this! Also, hearing you struggle to use the word straight made me laugh. My wife and I say "gayly forward" 🤣
Happy to have you back! Can't wait for future episodes ❤
Unbleep the CANDID PILLOW PRINCESS PART BY CAMMIE LOL 😂
Yes have the exes on! But also friends like Vanessa, carol, zo, and your sister and Deb!
You know everyone wants Cari on 😂😂
Please get Ashley Gavin on the pod🙏
Mak Ingemi too🎉🎉
Watching and listening to you is the first thing I've done after coming back from work to home today. You were right about saying that your audience grew with you, I started high school when I started watching you back then and I am learning so much about me, myself and I every day. Thank you so much for being so open and transparent about your life and inspiring me in every possible way. I feel the same way about what you said about not being able to talk about exes while you are in a relationship and putting everyone's feelings above yours. Thank you, again, for articulating it beautifully.
Been here since that intro was THE thing hahaha! Here we go :D
Was not expecting to be triggered by the intro. XD
Would love to see Deb on the podcast at somepoint!
Hello Shan, i dont know if you'll read this, but I just want to say thank you. I'm 30 now, I've been subscribed to your channel since, I don't really know, forever, and you were key to fully comming out (mostly to myself) and be Ok with the ups and downs that brings. I'm really happy to see you again here. Can't wait for the next episodes to come out.
Pd. It would be so nice to have your mom as a guest.
I. LOVE. PODCASTS. Especially by ppl i like and like to hear talk
same, at 32 i have been in 3 serious, one was marriage, i feel like this one im in might end too... i have to try being single since i havent been single in 11 years! i jump right into the next. i just love being in a relationship and taking care of someone else too.
Please have Becca Tilley on the pod! Breanne too!
