Round 3 of listening to this and I’m just obsessed with your laughs! They make me genuinely smile and brighten up any miserable day! Thank you guys so much and I would be an instant subscriber to a X&E podcast!
Juliette ✨
I just loooooove how kind this community is 🥰 I think that says a lot about you guys and the energy of love and respect you put out (I hope I’m expressing myself correctly since I’m French 😬) Love you guys, you inspire me to try new things and say what I want during sex, which is not an easy task when you’ve never really done it before (as you know😉). Sending lots of love to you both 😘 PS: “it’s your French dude again !” Sent me 😂
Mel
I forgot I'd submitted questions again this time till you answered 😂 The two of you are just the cutest, honestly.

The gasp of absolute betrayal that Ellie did when Xander mentioned her shenanigans when she gets drunk had me cracking up. “Do you not want to see my tits?”
RhyGrace
So I think the trope you are talking about is forced proximity x fake dating! Or marriage of convenience if it involves marrying for a benefit to both of them. Also one of my top tier tropes ❤️
Willabello
Just got a chance to finished and I had a really good time listening to this. It’s very delightful and so therapeutic. Your giggles are contagious. Thank you for making me laugh. You guys always made my day brighter 🥰🖤
Kate
I finally got around to these 🙌🏽 I absolutely love you two!! And don’t worry, we’re all very protective of you and Ellie as well 🖤
Carissa Grove
Xander & Ellie, I’m so sincerely sorry if my previous comments were over the line. I genuinely mean no disrespect.
Marie🌺🦋
I still have over an hour left but I am SO here for the fantasy romance slander! I tried to read ACOTAR and all I kept thinking is why are these grown immortal men trying to bang this illiterate child?
EmmaLee
Finally getting around to listening now that I have some time off and I totally forgot that I submitted my comment (and a very vulnerable one at that). Things like AMAs with you two and talking to other LonelyGirls in the comments have been like getting hugs from close friends, especially when I have bad days 🖤
Jennie Owen
I think you guys were talking about will they or won't they. Like the hunger games reference.
🖤
Not at all, I’d really love to work on a gaming project! Thank you for thinking of me. Professional messages are the kind I’m okay with.
🖤
It takes a lot to get her to that point but when she’s there I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end 😅
AbbyLi
Coming back now that I've listened to the whole thing to comment that my husband is a lead developer for a video game studio. If he has a voice acting job for one of his projects would it be weird/boundary crossing to send it to you? I think it's so cool that that's one of your dreams!
jayla
ellie: and then I just punched him in the face me: mhm period i knewwww she was scrappy also, y’all are just such a delight and had me laughing literally out loud!
Shari
My partner is a Virgo, and yeah, it tracks. I’m a Sagittarius, which at times is incredibly frustrating for us both. 😂 I’m thinking about it more and most of my partners have been virgos, and there’s been a lot of similarity across many things. Interesting indeed…
Ash
Coincidentally, you actually addressed both questions I asked in this comment! And hearing you both say "good question" gave me a small taste of the affirmation Sean Evans from Hot Ones must feel when guests compliment his interview questions.
Hello Brian
Ha I never considered that. I wonder what % of lonely girls love virgos. I’m definitely not complaining my partner is a gem, and together we are a whole lotta earth which is indulgent and chill af. A total vibe.

My husband is a virgo too, I guess lonely girls have a type! Im a little gemini chaos gremlin though lol

X&E AMA Commentary Highlights: So maybe it's my Mama Bear Mode kicking in but it would kinda piss me off if I came across someone talking shit about Ellie's presence on any of Xander's content. I adore them both independently and as a couple, and I think they bring out the best in one another. Confession: I once had the thought, “too bad he’s taken...”, but in my defense, I had not yet discovered Ellie. It was simply knowing that someone as sexy as Xander was off-the-market. Once I was introduced to Ellie, it changed instantly to, “they are fucking magic together.” ***cue personal manifestations for playtime w/ Ellie*** Most. Charming. Couple. Ever. You both bring so much light and love into the world, it radiates through the speakers. I can’t handle how adorable you two are!
Sarah LP
I knew I loved her 💗
🖤
I’m so happy we could have a part in helping you. We have so much fun creating audios but the special things that come from them are always so great to hear
'Rah
Jumping back in this comments section to say that what you two do is truly helping people heal. A few weeks ago, I literally started drafting a comment on one of your audios here, but moved it to my journal because I realized I was leaning into the parasocial aspect a little too hard - and just WROTE what turned out to be essentially the outline of a memoir that I keep saying I need to write. The comment-section-appropriate version is that I’m nearly 40, was raised extremely conservative as was my husband of 16 years. We met at church as teenagers, got married waaaay too young, had 3 kids. Through all this, sex and my sexuality was something I struggled with on a near-constant basis. We left our faith in 2019, moved our family to another state to give us space from our still-super-conservative family to have more freedom be ourselves. Through all that, my husband and I became better and better at communication and working through our own issues, but I still got hung up on sex and feeling comfortable with myself in that way. I found Quinn in October and joined this Patreon soon after and something in my brain just…clicked. Listening to the two of you - especially in your overheards and your AMAs - has helped heal parts of me that I had essentially given up on as irrevocably broken. So, um, thank you for being you and sharing that with internet strangers.
🖤
Joji is one of Ellie’s favorites, his music makes lots of appearances in her books!
Emma-Lou
At the risk of sounding obsessed with the two of you (just kidding, we're well past that) thank you so much for such a long AMA! Listening to the two of you talk is so lovely, I've just been bopping around a shopping centre listening. It might just be the kind of person I am, but I really love that the VAs with partners have felt comfortable enough to share that with listeners. I love knowing there's someone in each VAs corner, helping, caring and supporting and in your case, getting involved! Also, Xander answering owl for the other pets question, my husband got to hold an owl once while we were in Scotland and I swear to god, he fell in love with that owl instantly, so an excellent choice. Her name was Hazel the owl (look up her Instagram). Thanks again for all you both do x
Lotus and Chanel
Totally didn't pass out last night listening, will never denying y'all are comfort voices for me. 🥰 Anyways, thank you guys for doing these. It's so fun getting to know you more. The goofiness and sweetness is always sooo beautiful and therapeutic in a way. 💞 ~ lotus
Tara Latham
This is fascinating. Always dirty socks too right? Can dogs have kinks? Prolly
Belle
I love the AMAs. Hearing you two banter is the best. It was cool to hear my question answered as if I was having a conversation with a friend. You two are the best ❤️
Hello Brian
You guys 💜 the opening question/answer hit me in my cold heart. Everything you both do is so important and so appreciated. I hate that anyone would send anything negative your way because of feelings they can’t manage. I’m a petty af Taurus who will be very happy to put my energy to fucking them up so if you ever need that just shout. Which brings me to my second comment, about X being a Virgo. I suspected this might be the case after listening to some overheards. My partner is and I think that contributes to me being VERY well taken care of in the bedroom - but sometimes it is a challenge to keep up (I am a mere mortal), he’s good at checking in and reading where I’m at but Ellie if you’ve got any tips to help a girl out on keeping up with this kind of man please send them my way. And if it helps on working with that procrastination side, we just had a conversation about a task this morning that we agreed needing to be done and I followed up with “can I check your understanding of the timeframe on this” 😂 we eventually found a happy medium.
Kristin
You are both are just absolute gems. Ellie, I love your writing and really appreciate the ramble you did the other day and the way you both approach body positivity. You told me things I didn't know I needed to hear! No one deserves hate or unkindness, but least of all you two. You are the cutest and all the silly things like the voices make me think we'd all get along if we met on the street. I laughed at the end when you said something about worrying about how you sounded on the overheards...Ellie, my first reaction to the overheards was how cute and sexy you sound and wow, girl, I am not even playing in the same league you are. You guys are amazing. You both sound great. Thanks for sharing this with us. Lastly, geeze, nothing you guys talk about is boring. Just love you guys (respectfully) ❤️
Sarah LP
My brother’s golden does that — only socks. He’s probably 80% sock at this point.
Tara Latham
X, my ex and I shared a wemeriner and we jokingly called him the magician bc he would swallow whole socks....and make them "reappear"....out of his 🍑. Disgusting. 🤢
'Rah
I absolutely love fantasy romance and I’m not at all upset that you’re not a fan, Ellie. The barely legal MFC paired with a 200+ MMC has always given me the ick, but I’m a sucker for well written fairy smut (though I read ACOTAR and didn’t love it, so you’re not missing anything there). The book gets bonus points if the MFC is in her 30s. 😆 I personally can’t handle thrillers and respect the hell out of people who can. Tess Garritsen is about as tense as I could deal with, but I couldn’t even handle her stuff after I had my first kid. It spikes my anxiety SO bad. 😭
Lotus and Chanel
Pausing to comment about my question. You guys are so damn adorableee! And totally ok being basic with traditions. 🥰 and I swear anytime I hear my favorite people say my name, the freaking giddiness. Ahhh! Thank you guysss 🥰💞 ~ lotus
🖤
Back when we were still long distance it hit extra hard 😅
Coco
The lyrics of Cuando Quieras Llegar are so sweet! Adding to my list! Yall are truly gems.
Jessica
That's what I was going to say. THANK GOODNESS for Ellie 😂💜
Shari
Wash.. hair.. with.. soap? SOAP!?! That’s horrifying…
🖤
Totally forgot to type this here earlier but for the questions we said we'd come back to: Ellie has picked up my habit of making certain faces. If I ever tell a bad joke, I'll purse my lips really hard or suck my lips in and make a face kinda like " 😐 " to stop myself from laughing. She does this now too. She also speaks in a dumb dracula voice sometimes like me too now lol I'll sing songs/hum out of nowhere like her now, and I've started to use some products like her. I used to be a "wash my hair with soap" in the shower guy, but that's changed haha ---------------------------------------------------------- Songs that best portray our relationship rn are... Hot Knifer - Peach Pit Cuando Quieras Llegar - Diamante Eléctrico Cherry Waves - Deftones Alkaline - Sleep Token ----------------------------------------------------------

“Rhiannon or Meg- The people that are first in line to be that third person” Me: *Plankton Voice* CORRECT!
Rhiannon
El is our wife, not Caitlin's.

HAHAHAHAHA
Sarah LP
That’s Goose. I’m not sure how we made it nearly 10 years with only having to surgically retrieve her forbidden snacks one time. We call her snack searching “snoot patrol.”
🖤
He ate literally everything. Spent many moments wrestling with him on the ground to get whatever he ate out of his mouth I was successfully probably ~70% of the time
Sarah LP
Not the rubber bands! We just dropped an unspeakable amount of money on our sweet dog, Goose, due to a scrunchie being stuck in her belly. I joke that she is Dante from the Disney movie Coco. Particularly the scene where Dante is eating the food left on the ofrenda. Miguel yells for him to stop and Dante briefly stops eating, makes unwavering eye contact, then continues eating all of the food. Sounds like that could have been your dog, too.
Lara
Oops I also wanted to say thank you for answering my question, where are my manners! Love xxx
Kayla Fitz
Thank you Abby!! I will absolutely be looking into this! I haven't been able to listen to the previous AMAs either, so this is such a great idea! 🖤
Lara
Oh my, the gorgeousness of you two makes me smile so much. I howled with laughter at the energy you both had saying "...probably not" regarding a DC server, it was like my very kind and sweet parents telling little Lara that she will not be getting a pony for christmas this year 😆 I totally understand, they can be scarily chaotic and a LOT. You already do so much for us and it's such a cozy space here. I'll just have to fulfill my desire to create some custom Xellie emotes another way... fan art incoming. Wish there was a way I could stop any meanness coming your way too. I will just keep sending love and paying forward the good feels you give me, you never know how far that will ripple out ❤️
Melly
So, I started listening again while walking the dog this afternoon, and caught, "I'll go get the octopus", and I am typing this while lying in a snowbank. Laughing hysterically. I totally missed it this morning while sleepy listening.
NaudiLadyLeo
You two are my favorite show. I know there is a lot of buzz around VAs having committed relationships and how some of them have LOST followers by being vocal about it. Frankly, knowing my favorite VAs have happy, healthy relationships endears you all to me more. Ellie and Xander you are the flagship for fellow VAs to be out and comfortable in their relationships and reminding everyone YOU ARE ACTUAL PEOPLE WITH REAL .LIVES Thank you for sharing, for being the absolute cutest couple ever, and allowing us a slice of life ❤️
petrichor
I genuinely don't understand how these people don't have better things to do with their time. if they don't like something then it's a case of just shrug and move on - there's no need for them to attack two (lovely) humans like you. it's just really sad to think that people can be so cruel for no reason. I hope the two of you know that those of us who support you both far outnumber the others, even though they may be loud. I've said this in comments before but the good you have both done for improving my confidence and healing some of the shit that's happened in the past with sexual experiences is just beyond anything I've experienced before, and reading others' comments here I know I'm not alone in that. please know that whatever that small group may be saying is clearly nonsense, and I hope the love you feel from those of us who support you outweighs the bad feeling coming from that corner of the internet.
Shari
I don’t get it either. The toxic discussion that’s come up in the last few weeks has just been unfathomable to me. How can you not want absolute joy for the people who bring so much positive energy into your life?
🖤
For everyone asking: I’ll post an AMA link for a future ama. No promises when we will record it, but I’ll set up a place to send your questions!
moxierose
I felt called out too. I was excited when I figured out how to change a tire and change my oil but that is definitely an overestimation of my skill level. Lol
Shari
Felt totally called out at that
Sammie
I love when Ellie’s southern twang slips out. It’s so cute
nautilusxX
Did X say everyone can change brake pads? I need to get on YouTube real quick
moxierose
I don't get it either. I always felt happy when I saw that a VA I liked had someone that made them happy. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that not everyone wants other people to be happy but I still am a lot of the time.
AbbyLi
You and Ellie remind me so much of my husband and I (I hope that's not weird to say.) Ellie is the absolute sweetest, and I love how much fun you seem to have together. Is there a specific place to leave AMA questions in case you do another one of these in the future?
AbbyLi
I think there's a program you can feed the audio into that would automatically turn it into text. It's not perfect but usually intelligible enough, and it's super helpful for folks who might have some auditory processing difficulties.
Sarah LP
🇫🇷He’s doing a good job, I heard some Joji in there
mira
Listening to your AMAs makes me so happy! As someone in a relationship, it’s been disappointing not hearing others talk about theirs, but hearing you both gives me hope that love is still out there. You two radiate such good vibes and seem like the sweetest couple. ✨🫶🏼 Please don’t think anything you do as a couple sounds 'boring'—my boyfriend and I often just play video games on our PCs or watch horror/ sci-fi movies with snacks for dates too! ✨ Also, quick question for Ellie: when you mentioned that you used to do cheer, what type of cheer did you do (competitive, majorette, etc.)? And what was something you liked to do in cheer, or did you have a personal favorite stunt? (Mine was a toe touch into a split, lol.)" - Amira
moxierose
I am on cuteness overload from this ama now. You two are always so sweet together. 🥹
🖤
It’s a small group but they’re pretty vocal and mean. Reading these comments means a lot to both of us
Melly
🥹
🖤
He lives in the LoFi playlist and he makes an appearance in my solo AMA as well. I’ll be posting soon 😂
🖤
She had the nicest things to say about you :)
🖤
Rhi 😂
KK
Easily the best part of these AMAs is getting to hear y’all pal around and make jokes. So sweet.
Xx_Domino_xX
When you mentioned the octopus I started dyinggg 😭 I too had The Boys on my brain
Lotus and Chanel
You guys are truly amazing and love learning more things about you guys! Thank you guys so much for everything you do! Love it and keep up the good work 🥰 - Chanel
Lindsay ✨
I can’t fathom that anyone would say they don’t want you on the audios, Ellie. I’m sorry that people say that. The audios on Quinn are a gift and anything more than that is absolutely a blessing. It’s all extra that you BOTH choose to give us and we all need to be grateful. Just a grateful bb over here ✨
Sarah LP
I’m about 2/3rds of the way through, but I have a question for the next AMA. This is at least the second time we’ve heard him. Who is the little Frenchman you keep locked in your room?
Tara Latham
How I know I'd fuck w X and E irl: Ellie, one of the things I absolutely love about my partner is his calmness and steadiness. And Xander, no one gets my humor either 🤣🤣🤣 which sucks bc one of my favorite things in the world is making people laugh
La Nuna Luna
So lovely to wake up to this! I know you said this won’t be so frequent, which is totally understandable—you two are busy bees—but I do hope we get more of these every now and then. These AMAs have such a cozy vibe, like sitting down for a coffee and chatting with friends. And honestly, it’s so nice to hear you both share not just about yourselves but also your work process and insights into the VA/scriptwriting world. Also, you’re both so freaking cute!!! I’m just... cringing at myself so hard right now (and this is going to sound really stupid, I’m sorry), but I have a very personal boundary of never sending anonymous messages or questions to anyone. It’s just something that bothers me so much. And then you read my question, and I realized I didn’t put my name on it! So now I’m here like… noooooooooooooooooooo, I broke my own boundary! FFS! Just to soothe my neurospicy brain and stop myself from spiraling about it all day—again, I know it’s stupid—the question/fangirl message at 1:25:07 was from me. Oooof. I feel a bit better now.
Tara Latham
Not me being the second question! Heyyy! Love you guys 💞 what a great way to start my workday
Jessica
Such a lovely way to wake up and start a Saturday
Melly
1) I'm going to dine out on "I know who that is - she's so sweet!" for at least the weekend. 🥰 2) I really need to get better at proofreading before I hit send. Sorry, X. 😳
Maia
Hey I’m not complaining. I enjoy my Xellie podcasts🙂↕️ gotta get through these shifts somehow
Maia
I literally opened patreon at work with the intention of turning on the first AMA to listen to as I was cleaning and lo and behold this was waiting for me. Thank y’all and your impeccable timing <333 I enjoy listening to you two so much, not just your voices (oh how I do love them so) but your banter and dynamics. They are so cozy and I love you chemistry. I have a genuine smile on my face anytime I get to just hear yall interact with and feel ur love for eachother through the speaker. I hope to have a love like this for myself in the future, thank you for always sharing :)
Steffie
Thank you guys!! This one was so good!!
Shari
I require all the recipes :)
Ink.Covered.Pages
I just love you guys so much🙈❤️
Rhiannon
Her lasagna soup recipe is amazing.
Rhiannon
You did a great job editing out the "Who the fuck is Caitlin?" that came from the Rhiannon shaped bookshelf and Meg shaped footstool when you said that.

I swear, once you find the person who matches your sense of humor, you find your soulmate.
MilaHarrogate00
It’s true about the sense of humor. It’s not often to find someone who gets it, if you know what I mean. Until today, I haven’t found someone who really makes me laugh and also gets my sense of humor. I haven’t lost hope though…
Steffie
How do I submit a question for the next AMA,
Shari
Could we get a recipe share thread? Love a kitchen witch! The orzo sounded delicious!
Kitty
So, Xander is the “I’ve a motivational problem till I have a time problem” type of guy? Very relatable 😅
Marielle
The amount of time and concentration you poured towards the zombie question as if you were being held at gunpoint 💀
Kat
Yay, finally 😍 I honestly would listen to anything you both put out there, you could read dishwasher manuals and I would still be excited to listen, your voices just always put a smile on my face! ♥️
Marielle
But.. but why not? 🥺☹️ *mostly* kidding, thank you for your service as always! You guys are the BEST ♡
Kayla Fitz
Adore you both! Thank you for always being so open to new ideas!! 🖤
Steffie
Your appreciation of us lonelygirls is really awesome and sweet, thank you!
🖤
Not entirely opposed! I’ll make an update later on about it!
🖤
The length of these/frequency of these AMA style audios won’t be too common, btwbtw. We’re still focusing on audios and overheards as the main content for this Patreon :)
Kayla Fitz
Would you guys be open to doing like a.. transcript for these? I struggle with the length of these type of podcast kind of things but would love to get to be involved in this! Completely understand if it's not something you're able to do 🖤
Shari
Just noted the length of this. Nearly three hours?!?
Shari
So excited for this one!
Emma Lee
I’ve been so excited for this! It’s like having a catch up with two friends. Thank you for your openness and allowing us into your lives in this small way. You’ve cultivated a lovely community here and I consider myself lucky to be a part of it 🖤
