All right, if you hear my voice, you know you're listening to a podcast and I have been doing podcasts for over 10 years, I think it's crazy.

But one of the things that I am jealous of is that Spotify now makes making your own podcast so simple. I mean, it's crazy. Spotify's got to apply a platform that lets you make a podcast super easily.

Then distribute it everywhere and guess what? Even earn money all in one place for free by the way. It's called Spotify for podcasters and here's how it works. Spotify for podcasters lets you record and edit podcasts right from your phone or computer.

So no matter what your setup is like, you can start creating today. Then you can distribute it, distribute your podcast to Spotify and everywhere else podcasts are heard.

Video podcasts are also available on Spotify. I mean, this is insane. With Spotify for podcasters, you can earn money in a variety of ways, including ads, podcasts and podcasts subscriptions. I mean, they set it all up for you. Investive all seriously. Totally free with no catch. Ever since I have discovered Spotify for podcasters, seriously, I feel like I'm on top of the world.

I'm going to be starting some new podcast by the way. In the future, if you haven't listened to some of our other podcasts besides songs and stories, you should be listening in. But Spotify for podcasters just makes it so easy. I highly recommend it. You give it a try.

What's up, but has this is Matt a quick note before we start the show today. Recently, there's been a controversy about our podcast and a blog article written about us and more specifically our private Facebook group that the fan club of bad Christian has.

We got a BC club. It's got about a thousand people in it. But there's a controversy over some stuff that's been in there and some screenshots out of that group that have been leaked.

And so interestingly enough, there's so many people that want us to make a statement that I thought there's really no reason not to do that. And here's why the reason I'm glad to give a statement is because clearly bad Christians principles always have been both freedom to express yourself and do what you want to do.

And also transparency and authenticity. So I got no reason not to address this. And in the interest of transparency, I thought the best way to give a statement would be the most casual way possible, which is somebody asked me on text message was Matt McDonald from the classic crime, asked me on text message what was going on. And I responded to him real quick. And then after I wrote it down, I thought, well, that's basically it. So I'm just going to read you a text message, but you can take it now. It's not an apology.

But you could take the statement, you know, any way that you want to, but I wouldn't consider an apology per se.

But this is the text message that I responded to him to explain what's going on. And you can quote it and use it at length from here. And in whatever way that you like, but it's right out for my phone. So he said to me, have you guys said on the podcast that the use of the word cut and stuff like that in the BC club is bad.

Have you said the name calling with bad language is probably a no no. And I said, well, I don't think we've explicitly condemned murder theft or saying cunt, but I would have no problem doing so, which is true.

You should not use that word when you're talking about a woman if you're using it for George, a hundred percent agree you should not do that.

Also, the next thing that happened is a bunch of people right there in the Facebook group condemning the person that said it now those screenshots were not shared or leaked or published, but that is the next thing that happened.

Additionally, the person who said cunt was in a private Facebook group is from another country. He was chastised. He apologize in our own group. He apologized publicly, not just privately. And although now the group is in turmoil over the betrayal of the community.

The leak many people in our group fear losing jobs or being shown by family because of the stuff that they have confessed to or admitted or talked about openly in the group.

People are now afraid that will be leaked. We've got many people that are in the closet with their sexuality and haven't come out yet, etc.

And the non-public figure individuals from the group who were screen-shotted are now being personally targeted and harassed by actual, real coordinated attacks that originate in other private Facebook groups and many other individuals, humans who have been hurt here the way we see it.

So it is a problem. And that's it. That's how I explain the problem in the text message. And I believe that is basically the truth.

So yes, don't use the word cunt if you're a bad Christian listener. Don't call women derogatory things. Use your best ability to not do that even accidentally. That is our position on that.
