In a world where every podcast is so overproduced and made to look so shiny and clean, this podcast really stood out to me for being so genuine and I enjoyed the dynamic between QT and Maya. It will be sad to see it go as even the "shitty" episodes were so freaking comforting! The lightning in a bottle was the relationship, and the jankiness made it feel so sincere lol. I'm sure the Rae era will be great and entertaining! The set will be beautiful and there will be insane guests. But I am so glad I was here for the Maya era! Cant wait to see whats next. :)

Edd Recinos

I could have never imagined this happening and I am feeling incredibly overwhelmed and emotional, but I know those emotions will soon be overtaken by bigger, better emotions. It's been so fun getting to be a part of your organic conversations over the years and I wish the best for both of you. Also insane that Maya will be replaced by my favourite streamer ever. Truly the end of an era but the start of an age. Wine About It forever and ever.

PLL

I should have gotten the QT and Maya merch whilst I could! 🥹

Lala

So bittersweet! I love the dynamic and the growth and history with Maya but I also love Rae and the idea of growing the podcast more! 😭💕

TiddlySquiggle

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for not only the entertainment you have provided to us but also for allowing us to see the friendship you two have. You guys have honestly helped me through some dark times and although I am sad to see this chapter end, I'm excited for what's to come <3 I'm officially a child of divorce!

jackie Gonz

Love you guys and I’ve loved the podcast for a really long time. I also feel like, hilariously, having a bunch of sick in person episodes leading up to ending the podcast is giving the vibes of being taken out on a perfect date because my partner feels bad for that they want to break up. 🤣

Jello Monster

can maya still post pet photos : (

evie

Good luck with the baby.

Rusty Mckinney

Love yall 🥰

Garlandswell

Should have acted like you were going to smooch at the end and cut it off. would have been the perfect bit. Love the podcast I have been watching since the start and will miss Maya and QTs banter but I am excited (and nervous) for change. Thank you for all time you both invested into making this great and I am confident Rae will fill Maya's shoes very well in her own way. <3

Cade Barker

Good luck Maya! You are a great podcaster and wish you all the best at Alveus and whatever the future brings. I'm glad you are both so mature and able to arrange your lives to give you both the most you want!

conway1308

Good luck with alveus and everything thats coming up with the conservation work maya!! And thank you for everything you’ve done for the WAI space! You and your pet photos will be missed ;-;

Mosh

I'll miss Maya's goats

Arrowni

Yo thank you Maya for letting us into your life a lil bit. Hope you nothing but the best and I'll continue to support alveus. Im both excited and sad but glad it's something I've experienced.

Jonny Herrera

I don’t comment but have to for Maya. Joined for the friendship you have, will of course stay for the wine about it vibe. Thank you both for mornings and the car rides. Gunna miss it like crazy :(❤️‍🩹

Mia Luna

it was funny don't worry i blame the yard boys for distracting me

Jhoanna Talaroc

love u guys so much i got into a car crash a month exactly before this announcement while watching the pod, gonna miss u maya <3

Jhoanna Talaroc

I haven't even been watching that long and I'm crying

Treyorrr

Its the end of an era 😭😭😭😭

wetoats

I am so sad :( but i get where maya is coming from and i look forward to alveus thriving! I'll miss the frequent qt/maya collabs tho

linda

maya is awesome. but this aint no big deal yall. thanks for the content. maya is sick- but she gotta save the animals. rae is awesome too! also this podcast really cares about the followers... qt is very concerned. i appreciate it- but i will continue to support with no end in sight. AND gonna go over and sub to Worlds Wildest's AS WELL. love you guys and you are killing it. there is no END of an ERA. Only changes.

Lindsey DeMarcus

On the plus side, you have all the bonus episodes to catch up on with Maya and QT!! ❤️

Lala

Thank you so much Maya, this podcast has been such a source of joy for me as has the rest of your work on youtube and I can’t wait to see what you do next ❤️ Obviously will remain a Patreon and looking forward to seeing what QT and Rae get up to!!

Lala

sad that maya is leaving, but looking foward to the next chapter and investing money in world's wildest podcast as well!

Manacmul

I am sad to see Maya go. I love QT content in general, but Maya was also changing the world for women by speaking on personal experiences. I love conservation content and will continue to consume it - but sad for my little haven that made me feel less alone in the world. Sending love to both of you, I’m sure this was hard.

Rebecca Williams

🥺

Sid Raghu

Damn Excited for the Rae era and for everything mayas gonna do in the future But damn

ian faris

I think I just had my first parasocial reaction when I read the title of the main ep. I teared up. Loved this pod, loved even the “half arsed”ness. Thank you for the years of content <3

Lina

So much change this year, I can’t get a hold of anything 😭. It’s for the better though - Maya please go save the earth

Kelvin Tan

Long time tier 3 Patreon member. Haven’t commented much. But today I want to say thank you. My mom died last month from breast cancer and I’ve been devastated. We were close and I’m wrecked. There have been times over the past 4 years when QT and Maya have wondered on the pod if what they do on social media is helpful to people. Like a net positive or net negative to public life. I want to thank them for giving me moments of reprieve this past month. Your work has been a helpful distraction. The authenticity is magical and the vulnerability has helped me feel not alone in my experience. Sad to see Maya go. I will be supporting alveus sanctuary and remaining a tier 3. This is one of my first comments. Thank you for the work. Thank you for the wholesome vibes.

Alex Blythe

I watched the bonus EP before the main ep, I wasn't prepared for all the heart helt moments of the main ep. It just makes sense at the end of the day why this happened and I wish Maya the best, there's no doubt that Maya's career is going to explode exponentially within her feels of conservation. Regardless it's tragic to see her go, rae as small shoes yet big shoes to fill and I'll stay subbed to see how the podcast shifts with the new dynamic. at the end of the day I like hearing QT yap about the same 10 stories

Adrian Cano

thank you both so much for everything you've done over the past four years! you two are my favorite duo on the internet so i'm sad to see maya go. i'm excited about the future and trust in the three of you's vision for the pod. i was so so bummed when press esc went away, so i'm glad i get to see rae podcasting again :3 best of luck with everything maya and i'll see you on worlds wildest! <3

stel phone

omg yes this would be so gooood

Kate

The book club would be sick!!!!

Eliana

Rip maya, see you on the 3 pizza slice episode ❤️

Brian Runasyl

Can we PLEASE get a RIP Maya on Wine About It shirt?? I'm begging

Loubang

I love Maya!!!!!

Alphonse Shehata

I am so incredibly sad because I love listening to the banter and stories between you two while I work but I completely support and understand Maya’s decision. I will continue to watch with Rae of course she’s amazing too but man it won’t quite be the same :(((((

Collin Smith

maya ☹️

sash

my weekly qt maya content 🥺😭

Brian Nguyen

Been watching from the start, sad to see this era end but excited to see this new era <3

Chipz

bye maya 🫡🫡

Gavin Young

Just finished the main and bonus episodes, wow I'm sad! Want to echo what others have been saying and thank you both for the past 4 years! This has truly been my favorite podcast and the only one I have ever bought a patreon subscription for. Both of your stories and experiences have made myself and so many others feel less alone and I am beyond grateful. Thank you for sharing your friendship with us, it has been so special to get to watch! <3

Paige

I mostly lurk- but I wanted to thank Maya for all of the laughs and comfort you have brought me throughout the years. I'm so excited to see what's coming for Alveus ❤️ I also cannot wait for Rae to be a co host with QT! It's clear you guys have poured so much love into this podcast over the years and I'm so grateful to be apart of the ride :')

Summer Evans

Been here listening to you two since the beginning, and i just want to thank you both for everything. Going to miss your interactions in this format immensely. All love.

Egaliterrier

Thank you both for everything! I was 21 when you first started Wine About It and now I’m 25. So many big life changes have happened in the past few years, huge ups and downs, and your podcast has been a constant and a comfort. I am really sad to see Maya go, but so so excited to see the big changes at Alveus in the coming years and to continue supporting QT and the podcast (and Rae is joining!! YAY!!!) Thank you both Maya and QT for all of the time, effort, and consideration you’ve put into this podcast <3

Jacey

I started listening at the beginning because I am a fan of Mayas content, I grew to be a fan of QT also and now listen to both world wildest and fear& because they're both great podcasters. I also listened to press esc some, Im sad Maya is leaving but as a weird old guy in a movie once said "I ain't fucking leaving" excited to listen to the QT and Rae version of wine about it. I hope it can be just as wacky and crazy as ever.

Sogybritches

Divorced parents </3 2nd time in my life

Raths

I am a child of divorce/hj

Enderlocation

is this what it feels like to be a child of divorce 😭😭 im so sad to see maya go but also excited for rae 🥹

jasmine

Audio listeners, we're devastated

Loubang

Y’all got me through a very shitty end to my junior year and a very lonely senior year. Up until a couple months ago it felt like I’d been living the same day over and over for the last 4 years and now suddenly it seems like everything is changing. Wine About It was a rock for me through every change, an escape from the tides of feeling lonely while eating lunch alone in my car, and even though it’s not the same rock I hope I can hold onto it just the same. Anyways on foenem grave Maya the goat, js gotta lock in twin🥀🥀🥀

Jeremiah

It's so sad to see Maya go, but at the same time, it's an exciting opportunity of growth and change for everyone 💓 QT will continue to deliver great content and Rae will be a great addition, wishing the best for Maya and Alveus and excited to see her come back for special episodes!

Lilith

long time lurker, first time commenter. just want to say I wish Maya the best focusing on Alveus and her other pursuits! super sad to not parasocially hang out with y'all every week, but excited for what's to come ‼️

Jordan Eng

Love you both so much and will be supporting both of you. So sad to see Maya leave but im excited to see the new era with Rae and to get to know Rae better!

Shelby Beavers

I hope you guys at least stream together every now and then because you guys have a rare dynamic. QT has said before that the reason the yard is so good is because they’re all best friends and I think it was the same for you guys. Not to say Rae isn’t a friend but you guys literally seem like soulmates (qt and maya).

Blue Kid

Forever and always a sub. We love you all and can't wait for the future!

Dean Olsabeck

Thank you Maya! So excited for what's next 😊

Samuel Brillant Kingsley

wow this is a shock for sure. will definitely miss maya and miss the banter between you two, that’s what made this podcast special.

P Soni

I understand and wish you the best but I don’t think I’m going to enjoy it with Rae like I did with maya. Rae is a super nice great person but this was the only podcast I’ve ever liked. It was a podcast about nothing for no one it felt like just a call between best friends. It was something I think I’ll never find again. I will truly miss it forever. Qt and Rae will do great and I bet it will be bigger than it ever was but I just don’t think it will be for me anymore. I’ll give it a try though.

Mikey

I know you guys haven't always been happy with the quality of the podcast and various parts of it, but I genuinely look forward to it every week, and your care about it has always shown.

Murkus

Maya is great and she will be missed. Valkyrae will be amazing though and I’m excited to see what the future brings.

Sean L

So sad to see Maya leaving 😭

Murray

my life has no meaning anymore but can we run back the merch one last time

Tony Matos

respectfully, I'mma miss Maya so much. i adore all three of ye beautiful ladies but omg just Maya and yer dynamic imma miss. whos gunna go tell you and Valkyrae the world isnt spiralling now :( and whos gunna tell us fun animal facts and to mind the environment and and lean into Qts sarcasm so ye now have a baby like very sad but also like excited because i do love Valky so much its just... Maya thou *cries with a croissant in the corner staring at a cat* and also is the gala still gunna happen? 🥺 OMG YES PLEASE BOOKCLUB WITH WORLDS WILDESTS

Kate Keeffe

I'm going nowhere and looking forward to supporting both of your future content. Thank you for so many laughs

TenaciousDealer

Obviously sad to see maya go, I love your guys dynamic but am looking forward to the next chapter for both of you ❤️

Ruth Larsen

Honestly such a shock and am sad but here to support both QT and Maya. Excited to see how WAI will grow with Rae and QT.

Rah

i’ll always support this in whatever capacity <3

Snow

This is devastating, but I do love Rae and I'll keep supporting QT

Eric Woodard

The dynamic and relationship you guys have really made this podcast what is was, and different from the other creator podcasts I have seen. While I likely will stop monetary support, I hope WAI does well in the future. Already a World's Wildest patreon, so ill get my fix of Maya there and I'll have to check out Fear& for QT which will be exciting to listen to for the first time. I remeber the first episode like it was yesterday. I was still at Uni, even though its only 4 years it feel like my life has changed massively and this podcast as been there all the way through.

Zr0w3n

This was legit my emotional support pod for years😭 sad to see Maya leaving but I’m excited for what the future holds for the pod and Alveus!

Sophia

When press esc ended I wanted Valkyrae to be a 3rd cohost. SO heartbroken to lose Maya but excited to see Rae podcast again. I’ll still be here! Love you!!!!!!

Samantha DeVito

Maya nooo 😭😭

Hex

Feels like I’m FaceTiming my parents telling me they are getting a divorce lmaoooooooo. Thanks for everything y’all, lots of bittersweet feelings but excited to see where y’all go!

Arianna Lista

man, I came here first, because I thought the yt title was clickbait and wanted to make sure it's all good. Especially devastating to hear at the end of a string of fantastic episodes. Still, I'm excited to see what comes next.

ADominacja

i know nothing lasts forever but i’m a lot sadder about this than i thought i would be. you guys have been my comfort podcast for so long, i’m really going to miss the podcast in this form. but i definitely understand the decision and wish you both all the best!

E

Dang. This was Maya's humbling platform. She's a professional at Alveus and WW. On WAI, she didn't know that warm drinks warm you up.

Eric Hamilton

I'll miss Maya, but I am looking forward to supporting the pod still! I watched Press ESC as well, so I am so excited to have a podcast with both of you rather than having neither!

Emerson

I remember the release of the first episode and seeing the pod grow into what it is today, hope she comes back as a guest 🙏

BridgetsBusy

Hey guys, just want to say thank you for being so dope. I have two older sisters who are around the same age as you guys and with similar personalities so it’s such a trip listening but also very comforting and fun since I don’t get too see or talk to them often. But anyways thank you guys for being so funny and creating amazing content that’s honestly more real than most things on the internet now a-days.

Aidan Mark

watched wine about it since i was in highschool now i have a masters degree and maya's leaving this is crazy

Kyle

Just finished the youtube video. Still going to be here. And still going to be watching worlds wildest

Michael Alexander

I'm so sorry guys, I've been a long time fan and finally came around to subbing to the patron last week and now they broke up. 😞

AwesomeAnfernee

Thanks for the video and explanation, we'll miss you Maya 💔 As bittersweet as it is, I love Rae so I'm staying put, excited to see the changes coming up!

Mary Fuller

:( mayo

slyotic

Maya broke up with her boyfriend?

Pete Dodd

Maggie

yeah im literally sobbing rn i'll miss maya and the duo ):

Eikoo chan

Crestfallen

Mico

subbed to support my oshi Rae

Brendan C

Sad to see Maya go, but hopeful that this means the podcast will go back to being in person! In person always had a more fun vibe to it

Daddywarbucks

I will continue to support. Actually... I will support even harder!

Victor Diaz

=( sad but I understand. happy to have it while we did, at least everyone is still friends that's a big plus lol

Jason Holt

Watching this before the main episode is absolutely tragic ♥️

77katz77

Sad to see ya go! Sending love ❤️

Aria(theLORDdeath)

i really appreciate that i had this podcast and could grow with it. been here for years, excited to see its future <3

lilycoldie

Love this pod so much and i'm so sad to see Maya go but extremely excited to continue supporting the pod and maya separately! <3

NuttyKiwis

Thanks for everything. Made life happier. Love to you and yours. Ty

Juju

So excited to see Rae here after watching her pod for a bit, I can see how much she has been wanting a podcast

Amanda Wight

they should have a black and white picture of Maya always in the background like a memorial

Bassam

love you guys :(

traplordgoth

Sad to see Maya go but so excited to see all the fun stuff with Alveus! To the future of WineAboutIt (: 🍷

Aeris Lindsay

😭😭😭🥹😭😭😭

Phuong Le

I was expecting to cry because of how much this podcast has grown to mean to me. But the hints at future growth of both of your careers is something no viewer would trade for more episodes <3

Anna Narkevich

I didn't watch the episode and saw this video first because it said "hey patreon". ☹️

Avinash

this is literally the worst news :((((((((((((

KaCee-is-bored

echoing what everyone else has said already, this is heartbreaking and i will really really miss maya and qt's dynamic. im so grateful i've gotten to be here since the beginning and to have all this content on the patreon to go back and rewatch. though, also, seeing rae and qt's dynamic on qt's latest yt video does make this an exciting new start. i really hope this continues to be my favorite podcast, and i can't wait to start binging world's wildest episodes too. so much love to you both and to all the patreoners <333

starlitstellaa

Sad to see Maya go, but I will always support both of yalls content no matter what! o7

TheAlan614

hopefully Rae has as much white actor face blindness as Maya

Stem

Say April Fools right now! But seriously, it's so sad. I love the dynamic here and will miss hearing from and seeing Maya. All legit reasons, though, to step away and into a new direction. Hopefully, QT and Rae can create something special, and hopefully, we'll still get some Maya on WAI here and there in the future. Gaming was some of my fave chill content.

Zar

Wtf, very sad about Maya leaving.

Analus Mulmus

Crazy how this is how i find out 🥲 but i hope nothing but the best for Maya! Im already a member of worlds wildest and i too recommend everyone to go one over and give just $5. Connor and Maya are great and you get to learn a ton about the animals plants we share the earth with and how we can help with conservation . Can’t wait to see what Rae and QT do together! They too have a great chemistry. I will miss QT and Maya pod tho so i will mourn a little haha 😅

Ali

Thank you both for the transparency, will continue to support you both since I love your content and you seem like great people. It is sad but look forward to seeing how this transition ends up.

Smelly

I am sad because this has been my favorite podcast because I just love the dynamic between QT and Maya. I have been and will continue to support both of you in your individual ventures. I hope Maya will still occasionally go out to LA so that the two of you can make content together. Wishing the best for everyone on this transition.

Casey Blackburn

i’m so devastated but i completely understand which makes me even more sad but i’m excited to see what’s next for both of u <33

bei214

Damn now I probably won’t see much of Maya, this was the main source. I’m sure it was hard to walk away from a big chunk of money too every month to help alveus! However, very excited for Rae!

Jose Marin

i'm gonna miss you maya but i understand and hope the sanctuary will grow even more❤️‍🩹

the.black.dog.13

Maybe I should have watched the episode first 🤣

Tyler Ryan

My heart hurts

BinkyBonky

I'll miss Maya and QT'S dynamic on here. I wish the best for Maya!

Mei Bee

:(

Grace

(;´Д｀)

Melissa Fate

I’m kind of devastated but I completely respect the decision and wish Maya nothing but the best. I also love Rae so I’m still looking forward supporting the pod. We will miss her, though. :(

Cameron

I AM SO SAD

Michael Low

STOP RN 😭 Why are all my favorite podcasts “ending” in some wayyy 🥺

Kayloox

Damn...that sucks 😕

Kailey

I don't vibe with the new co-host or her content at all, so I will no longer be a subscriber here or on YouTube moving forward, but I look forward to supporting you both separately in other areas. Thank you for everything and good look. 🩷

Valerie Nicole

and here i was convinced the main title was clickbait help ;-;

GremlinHag

I didn’t get to watch today’s ep yet (I will soon) but from what you have each said today, it sounds like this is the best move forward for everyone. It is sad to think of this iconic dynamic ending, but as you said—this will give more time back to Maya. Hopefully Maya can come back as a guest 🥲 It sounds like the new changes with Rae will be fun and this is a sidenote but QT’s I spend the day with Rae video was so interesting and insightful. So, all that to say it sounds like everyone is onto better things for them, whether its Maya with World’s Wildest (!) or QT with Rae things will be a change but a nice one for all

Elijah

:(

two_wolves

The way I said “eh I don’t need to watch the main episodes to watch the short videos” then my jaw dropped 😭😭 my shaylaaaaa!! I understand tho, will have to start paying for worlds wildest patreon for maya content (and Connor too ofc)🙂‍↕️

Heather

MAYAAAAAA 😭😭😭😭😭

Carto

WE LOVE YOU UNPARASOCIALLY

Alaynamies

Glad I got a T-shirt with both y'all's faces on it tho lmaoo

C H

Definitely so sad about maya leaving but as a press esc lover I'm very excited for Rae as well and excited to see where the pod goes from here! Also excited for the potential for worlds wildest because I also loveee that pod! Exciting changes!

Hayley Reeves

I am trying hard to remember that change can be a good thing and that this can be an opportunity for something bigger and better. Maya, I'll miss you, but I hope this is the start for something even more incredible. Don't feel bad about leaving, we are still rooting for you both, and want what's best and healthiest for you!

C H

So sad maya is leaving however can't wait to support you guys separately!! Hope you guys keep making content together all the time tho!

Sebastian Zamora

This is a joke right hahaha

SuperPax

What the helly

KnightRider

Will miss Maya, but I'm excited to see how it'll change with Rae, she's great too! Thanks for all the transparency and all the effort you both put in. Been here since the beginning and my favorite part of Wednesday is watching these vids :]

Jennica

wahoo! but very sad this time

Faye852

I really appreciate the communication from you guys about this whole situation. Maya was what drew me into the podcast but I’ve come to adore watching both of you and now I’m excited to get to know Rae. I would rather see y’all be happy with a project than keep going with something you’re not the happiest with. 🫶🫶

Annika Strasburg

I haven't seen the main episode yet what the hell 😭

Angel

Honestly it’s so sad but it’s best to not be scared of what’s to come but instead embrace it - both of you will do amazing things for yourself and for us viewers, I’m sure of it! Just because it’s different doesn’t mean it’s bad

Micky Sinner

o7 Maya. you will be missed

Glitch

Nah I got half way and I’m turning off. If i don’t watch then it’s not real, right? That’s how that works?! RIGHT?!?!

spacecampsucks

This hits hard man, now it feels a bigger honor to participate in one of the live shows

ZM

i had a feeling this is what the titles meant but now i'm just sad :(

Erika

Oh man

Jolie Schrage

I usually don't comment, but just wanted to wish Maya the absolute best for the future and just to say you will be missed dearly but I_m also very excited for rae <3

Kenstudoch

But I’m sure I’ll still love it with Rae

Diego Burgess

We’ll miss you Maya💕❤️❤️💕❤️💕💕

M

😀 gonna go cry now

Diego Burgess

Maya, QT, and Wine About It were my introduction to twitch/streamers after seeing Alveus clips on youtube. Sad to see Maya leave but I know shes doing great things at Alveus. Its definitely a sad end of an era, but Im excited to see what content comes from the new era of Wine About It.

Greg Chuggs

It is super sad tbh but we just want you guys to be happy and we can’t wait to see what is in store for both maya and the future of WAI
