Summary
In this deeply personal minisode, Scoots speaks directly to you—especially if you’re a superlistener, someone who falls asleep fast, listens all night, or has been with the show for years.
He shares what’s been going on personally (recovering from surgery, preparing for a big move), and opens up about the emotional toll of asking for support to keep the podcast going. Despite some progress, the truth is clear:
Sleep With Me still needs about 1,000 more superlisteners to step up and support the show on Sleep With Me Plus.
But this minisode isn’t just about numbers—it’s about community, intention, and connection.
Scoots introduces a new way for everyone to participate:
- You can support the show, if you’re able.
- You can root for someone else to support the show.
- You can receive that rooting when you need it most.
- Or… you can do all three.
Even if you’ve decided not to support the show, you’re invited to take part in a quiet ritual of connection—sending out care, hope, and kindness across the deep, dark night to others who are struggling to sleep, just like you once were.
So whether you’re here to help keep the show going or just to be held by it, this minisode is for you.
💜 Thank you for being a part of this sleepy, strange, supportive world.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, this is Scoots here. This is a minisode. It's been a little while since we |
| 0:04.5 | put out of Minnesota and things have not gone well since then. I'll be honest. I mean, |
| 0:10.7 | I did get moved across the country. I'm still getting settled in. I don't have a set place |
| 0:17.1 | to record yet. And my hand is still healing. |
| 0:21.8 | But the thing is, there's so many amazing people that help out on the podcast behind |
| 0:25.6 | the scenes. |
| 0:26.6 | That's the only way that the episodes have continued to come out is because of their |
| 0:30.5 | hard work. |
| 0:32.0 | Just like last year when my mom and Carl W. |
| 0:37.0 | worked on the show, |
| 0:38.4 | they made a journey across the Rainbow Bridge. |
| 0:41.6 | And each time, you know, it was a big change. |
| 0:44.6 | And my, like, my ability to show up and make the podcast or to produce it ahead of time was only because of the people that work |
| 0:55.9 | on the podcast besides me, that put a lot of hard work in the show. So I hope you're listening |
| 1:03.7 | right now, you know, whatever your style listening. I mean, this message is, uh, anybody can partake in |
| 1:09.8 | it just like our last one. We're going to root for those super listeners because we need the people |
| 1:15.0 | whose lives have been changed by the podcast to support it. |
| 1:19.7 | If they're in a position to support the show and if they're willing. |
| 1:23.0 | And we could get there and the show could continue to go on. |
| 1:26.1 | Like as I try to get settled in this new phase of my |
| 1:29.2 | life now, uh, we could continue to keep making the show. But the stakes are, if we don't get that |
| 1:37.7 | support, what will happen is I'll keep them people that work on the show, working on the show. |
