Oh my god, it feels like such a long time since I yelled at you guys last week.

No, I'm just kidding. That wasn't a yell. That was a thoughtful conversation with my beautiful companions.

And honestly, you guys after the intro of last week's episode where I was like, you need to support the podcast more, share it more.

Like I know it's embarrassing and there's coworkers and family and shit on your social media, but in order for anything to grow, need support.

And I was just asking you guys and guess what? You turned out full fold.

Oh my god, I've never seen so many shares this week, so many nice messages, so many people sliding in the DMs being like, I've never reached out to you, but I want the first time to be a positive.

And like, it was just such a fun week. And I only got one negative message. I'll read that in a second, but I want to start with something positive. So this one I got.

And it's from Vera in Helsinki, Finland. And she said, just wanted to say I appreciate your podcast, but as I once was also a lazy masterbater like you, I also was a lazy podcast supporter.

I really liked your response to the Andrew Schultz episode and liked and subscribed after that.

By the way, after finding your podcast, I started doing the tasks and bought a womanizer, never liked vibrators, and I manned question up, maybe womaned up. I don't know.

It took a few months, but I finally came for the first time, never too late as I was 34 at the time. Thank you, Remi.

Oh my god, congratulations, Vera. So excited. I love being able to start all these episodes with a congratulations because we get them all the time.

And that was just the most wonderful message. Okay, now for the one, the one bad message.

Oh my god, maybe first of all, she spelled my name wrong. And it's like, come on, man, like you're going to criticize me while spelling my name wrong. Do one. Choose one. Okay, here it is.

Hi, Remi. I'm a regular follower and I love the podcast. Always do the online polls, et cetera. So glad. That's why we make them to entertain you.

I'm sad listening to your latest episode starting with a very long moan and critique of your supporters, and I'm ready to turn it off. It's such a negative vibe to start the episode off.

What? No, it wasn't a moan. It was first of all, there's a reason I put out that episode. It's because I knew that the backlash would be so loud because like, I'm very, I'm very accustomed to it by now that when you guys don't like something you speak out.

But I wanted to make the point of if this is the first time you're reaching out and it's something negative, then maybe like, I know it's a thing in human psychology that like people don't leave Yelp reviews unless it's like a negative thing in this situation.

I was just saying like, be more brazen about what you're sharing and like, I get it. It is, it can be embarrassing. But also I'm what I was saying is like, let's change the mentality of people that it's like sexuality for girls isn't embarrassing.

Like there's another podcast called Comtown and like, they're wearing Comtown merch all over the place because I think the stigma for guys is that if you're wearing a shirt that says, come, it's like not as gross, but if it's a girl wearing com, it's like, ooh.

So yeah, I don't know, to do the stuff that you're comfortable with, but also ultimately what I'm saying is like, we should be as comfortable and as loud about the things that we like.

You know, anyway, let's continue reading her message. She says, I say this with love, but I think it's wise to dictate how people interact with the info you put out there to get such a big negative response instead of blaming the people who follow and support you.
