know podcast i know last week a lot of the people who tap into the pod y'all were frustrated

0:51.4

with us sorry y'all and i don't like the fact that human nature is to pay attention to the negative more than the positive. But that's just how I'm wired. You can do both. So we did see a lot of the hate. But as we address the hate, I also do want to welcome those who've been rocking with us who don't tune in depending on who's on the pod and who's not. Thank y'all. We appreciate it. You know, salutes y'all. And then there's a lot of y'all who had some gripes about, you know, our previous guest, who is family, by the way.

2:09.9

like stereotypes and like being free with your sexuality she talks about a lot of important things

2:14.4

that might not appeal to everybody but to her core audience that like she's really out here changing people's lives with the shit she talks about. So people are invested. Yeah, and the internet hates strong-minded people that can't be swayed. Okay. Let's say if they die on the hill and everybody else knows that they're wrong, they're like, damn it, respectfully, she's entertaining. Yeah. I'm going to do the meek mail investigation on that.
