Hello Casa, Hello Smudgie, how are you.

13
00:00:57.079 --> 00:01:00.320
I'm very well. It's just two voices to day.

14
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.359
I know Jewels isn't feeling well, so you're stuck with me.

15
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.640
Well, you know, there's been worse things in life. I

16
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:10.239
can't think of any of the top of my head.

17
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.560
I'm sure there has been. Oh, poor Jewels, get well soon.

18
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.400
Jewels, get well, Jewels. We miss you.

19
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:23.239
I hope you putting those lips to good juice, chicken

20
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.760
soup or chicken soup, and Lucas aid that's what we

21
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.239
used to get given as kids, and I'm fairly positive

22
00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:32.040
they weren't that healthy.

23
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.920
I always forget what Lucas it is, because I've heard

24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:35.400
that before.

25
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:41.879
Is that an energy drink? Yeah, isotonic, it's got electrolytes

26
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:47.840
in it. And oh yeah, it's not great for health. No,

27
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.200
I had some sort of stomach bug once and they

28
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:51.920
gave it to my parents, gave it to me, and

29
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.280
it made me even sicker. And when the doctor said,

30
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:56.519
what did you give him, lucasaid, that's probably one of

31
00:01:56.599 --> 00:01:59.079
the best thing to do is fizzy for a start.

32
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.799
Probably not good for a stomach, but yes. And then

33
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:04.959
the chicken soups, cream of chickens, so it was full

34
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:08.439
of cream. So we got a bad stomach having cream

35
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:08.800
or milk.

36
00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:12.199
Yeah, we do chicken little soup over here. So it's

37
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:13.240
a light thin broth.

38
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.360
Oh yes, broth, it's it's cream. It's study can you

39
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.719
can literally stick your spoon in it and it doesn't move.

40
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:22.240
Jewels, don't take that advice.

41
00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.159
Don't have any of that. I hope you're having some

42
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.120
very thin broth. So it's just me and you for

43
00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:29.560
our main June episode.

44
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.159
I know, happy Pride, Oh my god.

45
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:38.120
Happy happy Pride. Yes, and we are very proud. That

46
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:39.240
is Happy Pride month.

47
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:41.159
We're proud of Pride.

48
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:41.439
Month.

49
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.759
We are and do you do anything for Pride Month?

50
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:45.599
What do I do?

51
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:45.879
You know?

52
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.919
Back in the day, when I was a young and

53
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:52.080
I did go to Pride events m h so, the parade,

54
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:56.400
the parties, the I lived near Boston and so we

55
00:02:56.439 --> 00:02:58.240
went to Boston Pride and it was always like a

56
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:01.240
beautiful day out on Boston calm in this beautiful outdoor space.

57
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.039
Lots of like carts and music and speeches, but it

58
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.240
was super festive. Love is love, like just let everyone

59
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:13.319
fucking live and let live and shut the fuck up.

60
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:16.039
Exactly every fuck do they want to fuck or not fuck,

61
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:17.240
whatever they want.

62
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.319
It's interesting that you say that because I'm gonna I'm

63
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.280
gonna go on this topic because I just had this

64
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.599
conversation with a friend of mine. What's so interesting is

65
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:29.120
when people think about same sex couples, the first thing

66
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:33.840
they think about a sex instead of just the relationships.

67
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.719
Everyone does it, like I mean, even when people are advocating,

68
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.159
they'll say, you know, it doesn't matter what you choose

69
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.800
to do in the bedroom. Why are you only thinking

70
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.280
about me having sex? Why don't you think about me

71
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.560
as just being in a relationship like you do going

72
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.240
to work? You know, paying bills, going grocery shopping. That's

73
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:57.479
what we do. But everybody does it. Everyone. I remember

74
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.960
some members of my family many years after I came out, said,

75
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:03.759
I know, I don't know why when you first told us,

76
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.280
the first thing I thought about was like, was was

77
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.879
you and Missy having sex? And I thought, you truly

78
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:10.599
don't think about me and my husband having sex? And

79
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.400
I'm like, no, I sure don't know. But it's just

80
00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:18.319
it's how the message is crafted out there. Because the

81
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.720
whole Bible Leviticus bullshit. It's like, so people just focus

82
00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.360
on the sex part of it. So yeah, so that's

83
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.120
my that's probably my newest pet pee for this year

84
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:33.199
is when people talk about like same sex relationships or

85
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.959
you know whatever, just in terms of the sex because

86
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:37.759
it's so much more.

87
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.319
So, Yeah, I kind of feel quite bad that that's

88
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.040
the first thing that I thought of. Why do you

89
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:43.879
think that is? Though?

90
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:46.199
Well, yeah, I was gonna say, don't feel bad. That's

91
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.040
the conditioning of it, right. So part of how the

92
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:53.800
people who want to keep the LGBTQ plus community down

93
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.720
makes it focused on sex because they throw around the

94
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.519
Bible versus Leviticus, man shall not lay with another man.

95
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.560
The focus is always you know, it's not right for

96
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:06.480
same sex people to be together because the plumbing doesn't fit,

97
00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.439
it doesn't result in a child. It's so it just

98
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:13.160
focuses it all on the sex, right, And so of

99
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.800
course that's the first thing you say, because that's what

100
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.639
we've all been taught to focus on. And it also

101
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.759
dehumanizes the population because it's easier to hate people when

102
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:25.199
you don't think of them as people. You just think

103
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:27.879
of them as these things that are having sex with

104
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.480
each other and they shouldn't. Yeah, you know. So it's

105
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.079
just it's very intentional and strategic the.

106
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.879
Start of the world at the moment. This is how

107
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.079
I know it's not a choice. This is how I

108
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:41.000
know you are born into your sexuality because I would

109
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.959
never fucking choose to choose a man right now, So

110
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.839
it has to be something you're born with. You can

111
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.959
choose a fucking man right now, Jesus Christ.

112
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:54.839
Well, and just even like having I mean, the only

113
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.439
part of choice that comes in to it is choosing

114
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.240
to be true to yourself. Yes, yeah right, because it's

115
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:04.079
like I would, like I said to my family, I'm like,

116
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:07.519
why would someone choose to be to live as part

117
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.319
of a persecuted community. Yeah, why would someone choose that?

118
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:17.160
I tried to choose otherwise. But like again for me,

119
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.000
like I always talk about, you know, people over plumbing

120
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.720
for me personally, But I just fell in love with

121
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.720
someone who happens to have a vagina. Yeah, I didn't

122
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:26.839
go seeking out a woman. She was the first woman

123
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.160
I had ever been with. But it's like I could

124
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.480
have chosen, and we tried. We tried for a little

125
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.399
bit to like separate and try to go the quote

126
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:35.839
easy route, like let's both go back to dating men,

127
00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:37.959
but we weren't as happy because we were in love

128
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:40.199
with each other. And so yeah, we had to the

129
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.279
only choice we had to make was to be true

130
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:46.279
to ourselves, to be choose to be happy instead of

131
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.319
being unhappy for the comfort and ease of others.

132
00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:53.360
But ye, fair, We've been having these conversations every month

133
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.120
since I've known you for two years. Yeah, this is

134
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.800
just a pride month conversation. This is a conversation that

135
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.839
should happen every since if you want to have a conversation,

136
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.319
you know, all the time conversation.

137
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.600
Yeah, especially with the community that we were that we

138
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.879
I mean, how many people I know, I've seen it myself.

139
00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:13.000
How many people in these communities are suddenly like, I

140
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:15.600
guess I'm not as straight and narrow as I thought.

141
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:18.920
You know, I might, I might like some other things.

142
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.000
And it's the beauty of the AE community.

143
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:24.360
Right Yeah, No, definitely, And to be honest, and I

144
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.959
think a lot of people are finding themselves in these

145
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.920
communities because they were looking for something. They were looking

146
00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:34.920
for that thing, they were looking for the comfortability, that

147
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:39.360
safety net of saying this is who I am. And

148
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:42.839
I've known I could count a dozen people right now

149
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:46.879
that now identify as queer because.

150
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.000
It so many. Yeah, I mean, like you, like you've

151
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.920
talked about it. It's a community that you go to

152
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.160
that you can come out for your kings, you can

153
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.560
come out for your sexuality, you can come out. It's

154
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.920
just yeah, it's just such a it's such a group.

155
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.000
But yes, happy pride to our cliticians far and wide,

156
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:07.199
needy rap then that was a bit of that was

157
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.639
a bit of a primary mont. I was like with

158
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.480
this happy pride o the Clicans far and now I'm not.

159
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.360
Going to go on a happy pride so look at us,

160
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:18.920
we're just dove write in right if you haven't figured

161
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:21.000
it out yet, cliticians. This is just a chit chat session.

162
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:23.560
We decided to do this June because we haven't done

163
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.720
one of these in a long time. We have topics

164
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:29.519
that we cover, important issues that we discussed, guests that

165
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.720
we have on and it's like, you know what, let's

166
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:33.120
just get on and fucking chat.

167
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:36.159
Would you call it ramble?

168
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:40.080
Yeah, it's a yeah, not a ramble, fab but it's

169
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:40.759
just a ramble.

170
00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.360
No. No, we're on camera. You weren't on camera maybe,

171
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:49.519
but we aren't. No, okay, So what else? What else

172
00:08:49.799 --> 00:08:51.960
is the topic in the in the corner of your

173
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:52.960
brain that you want to talk about?

174
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:53.279
Casin?

175
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.159
I mean, what I'm hearing everywhere is all about the

176
00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:59.039
new Quinn original with what's the nuts say? I'm someone

177
00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.519
I don't watch.

178
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:04.399
I don't, I don't. I don't watch it either. Sam

179
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:07.919
looks good in a sway jacket. That's what I'm calling him.

180
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:09.600
Yeah, Sam Swaye, will calm.

181
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.840
Him, Sam Swayede. It sounds like a detective right.

182
00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:14.480
See now I have to look it up because.

183
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:16.279
I believe you guys don't know.

184
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.039
We're still calling him some swede.

185
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.120
We're gonna still call him Sam sway, but for everyone's purposes,

186
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:25.200
themn Hewan Sam hun he hun.

187
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:28.840
Is he Scottish? Scottish? Isn't he?

188
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.039
He is?

189
00:09:29.720 --> 00:09:31.879
He is? So he'll be.

190
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:33.879
Hidden.

191
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.960
Callum McKay as his character name is. That's probably easier.

192
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:41.240
We're just just gonna call him Sam.

193
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:43.240
And this is I mean, this is Jules. This is

194
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:44.960
when we need you because you watch a lot of

195
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:48.279
TV and movies and and we don't. But I am

196
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:50.799
hearing that, Like even the people who kind of like

197
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.200
roll their eyes with the Queen Originals are very excited

198
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:56.720
for Sam Suaede.

199
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.279
It's gonna go, It's gonna run, We're gonna run with

200
00:09:59.320 --> 00:09:59.879
It's gonna be it.

201
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.559
It's going to be it.

202
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.480
And also for the first time I've seen creators, yes

203
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:09.679
post videos, how excited they are. Where were they when

204
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:15.600
Andrew Scott was asking me to kneel? Where Jesus?

205
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:17.360
I mean, that's kind of the point of the Originals, right,

206
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.399
like you were brought to Quinn via Andrew Scott.

207
00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:24.200
I was the lovely Andrew Scott. If you're out there, Andrew,

208
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.559
if you are part of the Clitisan network, oh God, God,

209
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:33.559
I'm praying to God. If you're out there. I adore you. Yes,

210
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:36.759
he's clearly going to hell if there is one. I

211
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.039
adore you, and you brought me to Quinn. And so

212
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.679
if there are anybody out there from the Quinn sphere

213
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.080
who works at Quinn and he's still in contact with

214
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.960
Andrew Scott, please let them know that body loves him.

215
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:54.240
I'm sure they right to the top of their priorityars. Yeah,

216
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:58.080
Caroline saw it now, But this is the first one

217
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:00.480
in a while, because as we've seen, Quinn's these out

218
00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.759
rapid fire, and a lot of people are like all

219
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.799
up in arms about it. I okay, unpopular opinion, so

220
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:14.080
no surprise there comes mine is about to be. I

221
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.279
know everyone always like pisses and moans and complains and

222
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.799
squawks about the Quinn Originals. I get it. People get

223
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.159
annoyed because especially since there's been so many lately, like

224
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.480
one right after the other, right after the other. And

225
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.440
I know that this is not new information because I've

226
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:32.039
seen some people comment on it this. The Quinn Originals

227
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:32.919
are a marketing tool.

228
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:35.159
They are to.

229
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:37.679
Pull in new listeners, just like Andrew Scott pulled you in.

230
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.679
So the people who are subscribers to Quinn are like,

231
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:44.000
oh my God another Original and they suck and blah

232
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.919
blah blah. They're not meant for you. They're not meant

233
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.120
for you. They're meant to bring in new subscribers and

234
00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:53.799
they always work. So for that piece of it, I'm

235
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:55.759
going to ask people to just take a seat, Like,

236
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.039
if I see one more person complain about the Originals

237
00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.720
and there are marketing tool that works and they're not

238
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:04.840
meant for you, that's why you don't like them. The

239
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:07.159
other piece of the pie that everyone always talks about

240
00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:09.440
in this I can get on board with is that

241
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:12.799
they promote the Originals so much so and they don't

242
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:14.480
promote their in house creators.

243
00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:18.840
Agreed. I wholeheartly agree on that. I think though, if

244
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.159
I'm going to play Devil's advocate, the reason people a

245
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.080
lot of people don't like the Originals is because they're

246
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.120
bringing new people into the space. They're bringing new people

247
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:34.480
into a space and into these communities that don't want

248
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.399
to be that busy. They don't want to have thousands

249
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:40.240
of people in their discords or their patreons or etc.

250
00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:44.159
Because then they become, you know, one tiny fish in

251
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.159
a massive gray ocean. At the moment they're in these

252
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:52.919
tight knit little communities, you know, where they know everybody.

253
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.279
It's like living in a village. People who live in

254
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.000
a village. I grew up in a village. I lived

255
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.080
in a village all of my life, and I knew everybody.

256
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:01.320
Took me three hours to walk two hundred yards to

257
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.279
the post office because you know everybody, and everybody stops

258
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:07.679
to talk to you. You know who their uncles and

259
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:09.360
their cousins are, and what they do for a living

260
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.840
and where they buy their bread. Then you move into

261
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.639
a massive town or city and you don't know everybody

262
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.120
and it's all new, and it's like you feel so

263
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.519
tiny and so small, and that once close knit community

264
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.919
is now this massive city where nobody knows you or

265
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:28.879
nobody wants to get to know you, or there's all

266
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.840
those fears again of being being the one in the

267
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.679
corner or the wallflower or whatever and not trusting people.

268
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.919
So I think there's an actual fear of the space

269
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:45.519
growing so big that it becomes it doesn't feel like

270
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:47.919
a community anymore. And I completely understand that.

271
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.559
Okay, So do you think that's some of the outrage

272
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:57.240
on the Quinn Originals isn't truly about them wishing the

273
00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:01.399
I know some deal, but like that the in house

274
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.279
vas aren't promoted as much as the originals. Do you

275
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:07.519
think it's more that they don't people don't like the

276
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.320
numbers pouring in or both.

277
00:14:10.200 --> 00:14:12.960
I'm seeing kind of conversations about both, and I would

278
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.440
agree that it's probably about both. But I think that

279
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.759
people are more vocal around the non promotion of the

280
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:24.080
current Quinn vas rather than being honest and saying that

281
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:27.320
you don't want to see your communities saturated by new

282
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:31.720
people who and it becoming a city. You know. And

283
00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:34.120
but I do also think that Quinn do need to

284
00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:40.159
promote their current vas more. There's a lot of creators now,

285
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.960
there's so many, and well, you see that.

286
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:44.759
This is the other place that I get kind of

287
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:50.480
like stumbly about because coming from a world of book publishing.

288
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:53.679
Right when my books were published by my publisher, the

289
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:56.639
first six months or so, they were really good at

290
00:14:56.679 --> 00:15:00.919
promoting my books. They did a lot that it was

291
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:03.720
all on me because it was then the next author

292
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:06.639
and then the next author, and that was just part

293
00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:09.320
of how it worked. It became my job to market

294
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:14.399
my books. And yes it can be frustrating, but that's

295
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:17.360
the arrangement like, so I think of it from that place,

296
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.120
and it might be a little too black and white

297
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:24.240
and like not emotional for people. But the Quinn vas

298
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:28.960
are not employees of Quinny. People always talk about how

299
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.519
they work for Quinn. They work for Quinn. They are

300
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:36.600
a subcontractor, as people know. So really technically, like in

301
00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:43.080
my world, Quinn is a client of the vas, right,

302
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:48.240
magic Wave is a client of the VA's Dipsy like

303
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.879
all of those platforms, these creators choose to partner with,

304
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:57.919
but they're subcontractors. And so I say that because yes,

305
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.240
could Quinn promote their more, Yes, just like book publishers

306
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.120
could promote their authors more. But that's not Also, that's

307
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.399
not the business model. That combined with the fact that

308
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:16.840
listeners do so much promotion we for Christ's sake, just

309
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.440
by having conversations. But it's not intended to promote, but

310
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:23.120
it is promoting. There is so much marketing and promotion

311
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:27.600
of vas out there not done by Magic Wave, Quinn

312
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:32.080
Dipsy that it's like we're doing the job for them.

313
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.000
Why would we need to do it when there's thousands

314
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:41.879
there's literally thousands of people doing you know, blind listens, Yes,

315
00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.480
pogram stories, Yeah, et cetera. So, yeah, I agree with

316
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.919
you that. And also there's not many creators that I

317
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.279
see that promote their own audios on Quinn. You know,

318
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.320
there's probably there's probably yeah, there's probably more that don't.

319
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.400
Yes, I agree, I agree. I think that the newer

320
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.440
ones tend to promote more because they just they see that,

321
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.079
they see what it's about. It's like, Okay, the promotion

322
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.960
bid is on the shoulders, around my shoulders, promotion responsibility.

323
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:17.000
And so yeah, I see a lot of them. I mean,

324
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.960
you're right, not a lot. I'm trying to see, like

325
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:23.160
I see like the Miles and the Atlas. I think

326
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:26.839
I saw one for Rena recently. Yeah, there's You're right,

327
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:30.039
there's probably fewer that do than don't, because now there's

328
00:17:30.039 --> 00:17:31.200
over one hundred creators.

329
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:35.720
It's incredible how many creators that there's so much choice

330
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.079
now for what you want. And also there's a lot

331
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.400
more different platforms coming up. You know, you have the

332
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:45.400
Gone Wild Audio, Dipsy, Magic Wave Quinn. But now there's

333
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.400
these little pop ups coming up. Yeah, You've got all

334
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.480
these little arms things like the Debts Collective and things

335
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.319
that are popping up, and there will be more more

336
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:57.839
will continue to pop up, and there will be more

337
00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:01.480
creatives read it. You know, there's there is thousands of creators,

338
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.200
there's thousands of choice. Yes, so surely it makes sense

339
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:08.559
that if you are a Quinn creator that you do

340
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:13.279
your best to promote yourself on stand Out or your

341
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:14.079
social media.

342
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.039
Yeah, and I will say, like I think it would

343
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:20.519
be of course, it would be great if my publisher

344
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:23.400
would promote my book. Still, if Quinn would promote their creators,

345
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.400
like like the voice actor on Voice actor that they did,

346
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.759
I thought was great. Hopefully they keep doing that. The

347
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:30.960
Quinn Olympics would be great to bring those back, like

348
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:34.720
let's let us get to know the creators. But then

349
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.759
I also know it's difficult because more and more creators

350
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:39.759
who join are choosing to be anonymous.

351
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.119
Yeah, but there's still things you can do. There's still

352
00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:46.119
things you can do and create that would include anonymous creators.

353
00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:47.640
There's not the.

354
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:50.119
Creator spotlights again, you just don't have to show their face,

355
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.000
but you could do like audio, like it was nice

356
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.119
to to get to know some of the creators. I

357
00:18:56.160 --> 00:18:58.359
know some creators were asked to make spotlights but then

358
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:02.440
they were never shown. Yeah, you know, so it's like, yes,

359
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.119
So I guess it sounds like I'm contradicting myself, but

360
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:08.400
I do believe that they could be better about promoting

361
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.440
the vas but they are not obligated or required to,

362
00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.319
just from a contractual standpoint. And I know that sounds

363
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:20.440
cold and crass, but it's business. It's business. It's business.

364
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:22.880
Like I mean, I don't know how many subscribers Queen

365
00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:26.559
have got, but when we first started this podcast, I

366
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.640
think they were on something like six hundred and fifty thousand,

367
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.920
if I remember rightly something like that. That it's three quarters

368
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:34.680
a minion or something.

369
00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:37.000
Ember and Ice brought in two hundred thousand in and

370
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.160
of itself. Whether people stay, that's the difference, right because

371
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:43.359
they're brought in through the originals, which are not immersive,

372
00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.319
and then they're found that the majority of the content here,

373
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.640
if it is immersive, I wouldn't be surprised if it

374
00:19:50.680 --> 00:19:53.480
starts becoming more and more narrative in addition to it.

375
00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:55.640
But yeah, it's so a lot of people come and

376
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.640
notes stay, a lot of people stay. So this is

377
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:00.680
what I think Quinn could be doing. If they want

378
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:05.079
to not only attract new subscribers but retain them, then

379
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:10.000
do things like, hey, if you enjoyed Sam sways subside

380
00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:15.920
Sam Swayede, if you enjoyed Sam Swede's original, you might

381
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:20.279
also like these creators. Yes, right, Like do that for

382
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.400
your creators so you can then work on retaining your

383
00:20:23.400 --> 00:20:24.200
subscribers too.

384
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:27.000
Yeah. And also with the Queen Originals, I know there's

385
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.519
a lot of talk about diversity and inclusion, et cetera.

386
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.599
I mean you have to look at it and say, obviously,

387
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.400
apart from mburn Ice, which was M for M yep,

388
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.359
the last you know, off the top of my head,

389
00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:43.359
eight nine, maybe ten Queen originals of all.

390
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:47.559
Been men men. Yeah. Yeah, I mean they've had some

391
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.079
diversity in there. They've had some black creators, some Italian

392
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:55.559
Asian creators, but yeah, still all men, which I get.

393
00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:57.400
I mean again, it's like this is when I go

394
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.839
between like emotional and business standpoint. But Quinn was created

395
00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:05.000
as an app for women by women whose audience that

396
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:10.079
they were targeting were primarily women who wanted to listen

397
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:14.160
to men. Yeah, right, which are still the biggest winners, right,

398
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:18.640
so they are feeding their target market.

399
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.880
Yeah, yeah, I see where you're coming from. Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah,

400
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.920
especially if they're if their target audience is It's like McDonald's,

401
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.920
isn't it. They got a lot of stick for not

402
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:33.440
bringing out the veggie bucket or lots of different options

403
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:37.960
for vegetarians, and it's like it was primarily it was

404
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.759
a burger joint and if you're not keen on that,

405
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.880
then you go and find a vegetarian restaurant. No, I

406
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:50.319
think it's more it's more of underrepresentation. I think it's

407
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:53.200
it needs to be more representative of the world at large,

408
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.720
you know, not having any figures in front of me

409
00:21:56.799 --> 00:21:59.920
as such as to how many of the world's popular

410
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:05.039
identify as queer. But I would imagine it's it's it's yeah,

411
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:07.359
it's yeah. Okay, so it's ten percent. You've got your fingers.

412
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.240
Yeah.

413
00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:12.680
So if ten percent of Quinn Originals is a representation

414
00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.200
of you know, or to be fair, they should be

415
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:17.880
doing more, you know, so say the eighty twenty rule.

416
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:22.079
I love the eighty twenty rule. You know, twenty percent

417
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:31.359
you know of the underrepresented you know, ethnicities, sexualities, genders, however,

418
00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:34.880
you know, and I think it would be a much

419
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:37.240
happier place. But once again, I think this all bails

420
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:42.119
down to as well. Is visualization. If the underrepresented creators

421
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.400
on Quinn are not promoted, people will look at Quinn

422
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:49.680
and say they're not doing their best for representation of mariorities, right,

423
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.039
And I'm not sure that's correct. I think we fall

424
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.799
again back to you. This is a business. This is marketing.

425
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.160
They are going to market what brings in the five

426
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.880
eight bucks a month, which but I do wholeheartedly believe

427
00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:05.640
that Quinn as an app and every app that's out

428
00:23:05.680 --> 00:23:10.720
there should be a representation of the world. So, you know,

429
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:13.880
if they've got their figures right, then that's fine. But

430
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:16.920
you know, it doesn't feel like they have their figures

431
00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:20.200
quite correct. Considering the last you know, eight to ten

432
00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.519
originals have been all men. Are you would say for

433
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:26.759
you eighty twenty or that two of those ten should

434
00:23:26.759 --> 00:23:30.240
have been women or people who identify as women. You know,

435
00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:33.240
it should be along those lines. And I think that's

436
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.480
what people are noticing.

437
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.079
Yep, you're right, it's the underrepresentation. I mean, yeah, you

438
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.839
can pick a woman that will will it still meet

439
00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:45.519
your business goals of attracting new subscribers. See, that's what's

440
00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:47.759
tricky enough. There's going to be a lot of editing

441
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:50.680
in this because that's a process so loud that if

442
00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:54.519
they bring in new subscribers based off of having a

443
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:59.640
female or old tomon who identifies as female original, then

444
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:02.680
of beaten switch? Are you then bringing in subscribers to

445
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.599
a platform that doesn't have a lot of the content

446
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:06.920
you just teased them with.

447
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.319
But it depends what the female original is. The majority

448
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:14.200
of the male originals have all been heterosexual audios, so

449
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:17.079
there's no reason to not bring a heterosexual woman in

450
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:20.240
it and have her having sex with a man, which

451
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:24.559
still is out there on Quinn. As Alice told us

452
00:24:24.599 --> 00:24:26.400
when we interviewed her that I looked at in a

453
00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:28.880
completely different ways when you put yourself in as the

454
00:24:28.920 --> 00:24:33.000
woman in the story, you know you are you are

455
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:36.440
the f Yes, okay, the m is what you would

456
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:38.960
normally be, you know if it was a switch the

457
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.359
other way around. So what's the harm in bringing in

458
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:47.559
a female original and you put yourself in their position?

459
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:51.000
You know, and you see it from that side. I

460
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.799
just think I'm not trying to fit a square peg

461
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.240
into a round hole. What I'm just trying to say

462
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:58.720
is you've had ten men, let's get a woman in please.

463
00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:03.920
Yeah that's coming from a heterosexual woman. Yes, I think there.

464
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:07.599
Quinn need to have more representation mm hmm, but not

465
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:11.000
for representation sakes. It needs to be somebody who is

466
00:25:12.279 --> 00:25:17.279
people want to listen to, and not just a token female. Yeah.

467
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:18.799
And I'm trying to think of her name, because there's

468
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:24.920
someone who I would love, Missy your wife. No, No,

469
00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:26.759
she would like this one too. I think we would

470
00:25:26.759 --> 00:25:27.519
both like this one.

471
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:28.960
What is her name?

472
00:25:29.839 --> 00:25:32.240
Ruby Rose? Ruby Rose?

473
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:38.279
Oh? I would I would go. I would be all

474
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:40.759
over that and down on it is what I do. Yeah.

475
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:46.039
I saw so many videos on TikTok of people going straight,

476
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:46.720
women going.

477
00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:52.240
Up am I street, am I am I am I Okay, Yeah,

478
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.160
it's like, no, what you are is opening your mind

479
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.559
up yes to sexual desires that you can can have

480
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:01.279
by not.

481
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:05.279
Labeling yourself being anything. Just go with the go where

482
00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:07.920
the fucking desires.

483
00:26:08.720 --> 00:26:11.400
Because then I think that you know, yes, you get

484
00:26:11.400 --> 00:26:15.200
a whole ton of new subscribers, But then creators like

485
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:19.000
Sarah and Alice and Behold the Beauty and all of

486
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.400
these amazing creators who are already on Quinn would get

487
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:27.519
more plays, get more subscribers, because you're bringing in subscribers

488
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:31.039
that would be interested in their work. Yeah, please Quinn

489
00:26:31.119 --> 00:26:34.079
Ruby Rose please.

490
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:37.559
Yes, from the from the queer community and the straight community,

491
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:38.759
please thank you very much.

492
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:41.920
Yeah, so, I mean Quinn Originals are always a topic

493
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.559
of big discussion. Uh, and I know it's it's frustrating

494
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:48.400
and really because honestly, I'm gonna be real honest, like,

495
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:50.400
I haven't listened to most of them because the ones

496
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:52.680
I have really have not been good. I am absolutely

497
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:54.680
gonna listen to this one. Not only I don't know

498
00:26:54.720 --> 00:26:57.240
who the same guy is, but it's written by Holly

499
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:02.599
June Smith, which in my opinion is a fantastic writer. Yeah,

500
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:07.039
love her scripts. And I'm hearing fantastic stuff about this original,

501
00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:09.200
so yeah, I will give it one of the Scottish

502
00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:12.720
Any Scottish, I guess is a popular thing for people.

503
00:27:13.519 --> 00:27:18.079
Even for me. It's a hard language to understand. I

504
00:27:18.119 --> 00:27:20.960
often need subtitles for my some of my family who

505
00:27:21.000 --> 00:27:23.160
live in Scotland and my friends. I'm like, will you

506
00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:29.039
Jesus Christ please? Yeah. If anybody remembers, if anybody's from

507
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.480
the UK listening to this, of course you were. There

508
00:27:32.559 --> 00:27:36.359
was a TV show called rab c Nesbit. It was

509
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:42.279
a comedy show. Just google it watch thirty seconds of it.

510
00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:47.279
It had to be had subtitles on it because nobody

511
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:54.519
outside of glasgy Glasgow could understand it. It was horrendously shocking,

512
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:58.119
but it was also a very popular comedy show. But yeah,

513
00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:02.039
I'm not sure that as an original Quinn, thank you

514
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:05.119
don't need but q Lorri definitely, and please get Andrew

515
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:08.200
Scott back because I think we need a part three.

516
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:12.079
But yes, I think it's it's controversial. I think there's

517
00:28:12.079 --> 00:28:15.079
a lot of conversations out there about the originals. I

518
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.680
think they are good. I think people are absolutely valid

519
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.839
in their concerns about their smaller communities. Yeah, feeling like,

520
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:27.839
you know, Quinn's ours, Queen's everybody's, you know, and and

521
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:29.599
we have to let that go.

522
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.640
And yes, and yes, I would absolutely love to see

523
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:38.880
Quinn promote their current vas more. But yeah, I mean

524
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:41.200
we all do it for them, so it's like and

525
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:42.839
we're all gonna get I mean, look at when over

526
00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:45.799
there's a drab day, the number of stories that people

527
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:48.839
post about their favorites, which I think is great, Like,

528
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.079
let's keep doing that. But yeah, Quinn, come on, you

529
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:54.599
could you can bring back some fun stuff.

530
00:28:54.839 --> 00:28:57.319
Get your brains together. We know you're clever people over there.

531
00:28:57.400 --> 00:28:59.799
Yeah, it doesn't have to be one or the other, right,

532
00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:03.759
Like promote the originals and take care of your current

533
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:09.519
subcontractors as well, because as much as they are not

534
00:29:09.599 --> 00:29:12.559
employees of Quinn, we hear from the creators. It's very

535
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:17.160
much a family of talent, So you know, like interact

536
00:29:17.160 --> 00:29:18.200
more with each other.

537
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.480
Do your best by your creators, and you'll do the

538
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.559
best by your audience.

539
00:29:22.799 --> 00:29:26.079
We'll be back to continue our little chin wag right

540
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:30.759
after this month's installment of Peaching it Real with Peaches.

541
00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:40.680
Well every time we gets reeves, cats, thieves, honting thoughts,

542
00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:44.079
cone being served up every time.

543
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:51.880
Thank you Kazah, Jules and Smudge, and welcome to Peaching

544
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:55.519
it Reel. A little segment where I talk about anything

545
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:59.519
and everything really doesn't just have to be audio erotica.

546
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.960
It can be about what month we're in. And this

547
00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:07.799
month in particular, June is one of my favorites. Not

548
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.000
because we're all very hot and sweaty and everyone knows

549
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.880
how I love being hot and sweaty. It's because it's

550
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:21.240
Pride month and it always reminds me of how far

551
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:26.119
I've come, in particular, and how far my friends have come,

552
00:30:26.680 --> 00:30:29.759
how far, so many of us in the world have come.

553
00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:37.279
Really to look back and see how much we have changed,

554
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:43.759
how much more accepting we are, And it's so sad

555
00:30:43.839 --> 00:30:48.440
to see people try and combat it, trying to combat

556
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:53.880
something so positive and full of love. So this is

557
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.319
the time when whether or not you are part of

558
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:03.319
the LGBTQIA plus community, any of the communities under this

559
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:09.279
little glorious rainbow umbrella, or whether you're an ally, this

560
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:11.880
is the time when we need to make sure that

561
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:16.759
this positivity doesn't waiver. There are so many things, so

562
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:23.799
many people fighting against it for reasons that I will

563
00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:32.599
never fully understand. Prejudice, hate, misunderstanding of what pride is,

564
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.240
of what it is to be queer, to be different,

565
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:44.480
to be alternative to societal norms, so to speak. And

566
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:48.200
hopefully it will become a societal norm, but that's probably

567
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:53.119
quite a way off. So, more than anything, I just

568
00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:56.400
kind of wanted to use this little five minute ramble

569
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:02.559
to remind people who perhaps have been a part of

570
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:07.119
the community for a long time to keep fighting with love.

571
00:32:07.240 --> 00:32:12.640
Of course, for people who feel as though they can't

572
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:17.240
help or support, of course you can. You know, if

573
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:21.359
you're straight and this is a new thing to you,

574
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.759
if perhaps you've been brought here by audio erotica. You

575
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:29.039
don't just have to look in on the sidelines and

576
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.559
think I'm not allowed to be a part of that community.

577
00:32:31.839 --> 00:32:35.759
Of course you are. That's what the whole Pride movement

578
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:40.599
is about. It's about acceptance and equality and love and

579
00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:47.039
just cherishing people you know. And yes it's all around

580
00:32:47.160 --> 00:32:54.920
gender and sexuality, but more than anything, it's about supporting

581
00:32:55.359 --> 00:33:00.759
one another. That's the most important thing, which leads me

582
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.960
on to something that I have been contemplating over the

583
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:10.359
last few weeks. Time in general, how we spend our time,

584
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.440
and I know a lot of people spend their time

585
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:23.160
supporting other people and not themselves. This is one of

586
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.559
the most common requests actually that I get on CAMEO

587
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:33.720
is people asking for support, asking to be seen, And

588
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:37.480
I am guilty of it myself. It's such a natural

589
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:41.519
thing to want to help other people when you are

590
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:47.720
going through something. So if anyone's feeling that right now, stop,

591
00:33:49.480 --> 00:33:56.960
take a moment, ask for help, especially during Pride Month

592
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:05.680
when we are spreading love, spreading happiness. Accept it. If

593
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:10.440
someone asks, if you're okay, tell them the truth. Don't

594
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:14.840
just say yeah, I'm fine. The amount of times that

595
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:18.440
I have said yes, I'm fine in the past, and

596
00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:21.880
I have been the furthest thing from it. We have

597
00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:24.880
to be honest with the people that want to help us,

598
00:34:25.599 --> 00:34:31.519
Otherwise they won't know we put on our mask when

599
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:38.000
we're feeling a certain way. So let's make sure in

600
00:34:38.119 --> 00:34:45.199
this wonderful, joyous month that we reach out, we let

601
00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:48.800
people help us, and we help others in the process.

602
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:56.440
And of course in celebrating Pride Month, let's go and

603
00:34:56.480 --> 00:35:01.719
listen to some Pride audios. So much fun. I think

604
00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:08.239
you can agree. Right then, that's me. That's me for today.

605
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.880
Sorry it got a bit deep there, but I just

606
00:35:11.960 --> 00:35:15.920
want to make sure that everyone is listening and understanding

607
00:35:16.519 --> 00:35:22.079
that it's okay to ask for help. Right then, I'm

608
00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:24.880
going to get out of this very sweaty booth and

609
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:29.440
hand you back over to Kazah Duels and smudge thank you.

610
00:35:29.440 --> 00:35:32.719
You can find Peaches on Instagram and TikTok OnlyFans, and

611
00:35:32.760 --> 00:35:35.199
as a voice actor on the Quinn app. He also

612
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.519
has an active Discord and Patreon community. All the links

613
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:42.519
can be found in our show notes.

614
00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:49.000
Love that original ramble man, we had a lot to say.

615
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:51.719
I mean, I guess it is about like kind of

616
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:56.480
how how consuming this space can be in great ways

617
00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:59.440
and in not so great ways, because it's like, well

618
00:35:59.559 --> 00:36:02.679
we've always talked about, right, like with the podcast, the

619
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:08.079
number of hours and hours and days we put into

620
00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:12.400
this podcast. It's like, how to do this plus our

621
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.239
full time jobs, plus our family and friends, plus our lives,

622
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.639
Like you really have to like, I know, I don't

623
00:36:18.639 --> 00:36:20.679
know about you, Smudgie, but when I first found this

624
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:24.679
whole world and then found like the communities, I was

625
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:29.480
like ridiculous how much time I spent in the communities

626
00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:32.119
talking with people? Right, It was like holy shit, Like

627
00:36:32.159 --> 00:36:34.480
there's a whole community of people out there who don't

628
00:36:34.559 --> 00:36:40.000
judge and really like my my life outside of their suffered.

629
00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:42.079
Like I my wife had to come and have conversations

630
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:45.159
like are we gonna spend any time together? Because I

631
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:46.599
felt like I felt like I had to be in

632
00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:49.480
the communities all the time, or you know, I would

633
00:36:49.559 --> 00:36:51.280
lose track of what was being said, or people would

634
00:36:51.280 --> 00:36:54.119
forget who I was, or I would disappear. It was

635
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:57.000
a lot. Were you like that at the beginning?

636
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:01.079
Yeah, definitely, I I wasn't more. I was a new

637
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.800
mad I was trying to learn everything and be a

638
00:37:04.840 --> 00:37:08.039
part of the community, this amazing community. People around me

639
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:11.519
were exactly the same. They noticed, you know. After about

640
00:37:11.519 --> 00:37:16.679
the first six months, I had family and friends say

641
00:37:16.719 --> 00:37:21.400
to me, looks much. You know, we don't do anything anymore.

642
00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:26.519
You're always on your phone. And it took that kind

643
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:32.480
of intervention really for me to go, Wow, that's all consuming.

644
00:37:34.199 --> 00:37:36.239
Two things. It gives me more empathy now for other

645
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.760
people who I see in the communities that are they

646
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.599
appear to be their twenty four how something. You can't

647
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:53.239
do that without letting something go suffering in your other worlds.

648
00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:59.519
There's no way you can do it. No way. So yeah,

649
00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:05.039
very much all consuming. I would say, as much positive

650
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:07.880
as negative. Yeah, so it turned out to be. It

651
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.599
was all positive to start off with. Yeah, it felt brilliant.

652
00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:15.239
It felt brilliant until I realized that I was awake

653
00:38:15.320 --> 00:38:20.320
at four am because this was happening. Yeah, just quickly

654
00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:23.239
checking my notification, Oh god, there's that, and then I'm

655
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:26.159
on my phone for four hours, Oh my god. Yes,

656
00:38:27.239 --> 00:38:30.480
trying to make sure everybody's okay or you're you know,

657
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.320
people like you. Yeah, or it was very much all consuming.

658
00:38:34.360 --> 00:38:36.800
And it wasn't until I realized that that parts of

659
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:38.599
it were negative that I realized that parts of it

660
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:39.119
were negative.

661
00:38:39.280 --> 00:38:42.360
Yeah, yep, that it's not all great. It's like yeah,

662
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:45.000
and for me, yeah, it started with like seeing my

663
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.440
life outside, my life offline suffer and I was like, oh,

664
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:52.159
maybe this isn't but it's it's like anything else when

665
00:38:52.159 --> 00:38:54.440
it's new and exciting, and it's like you meet a

666
00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:56.920
whole bunch of new friends even though they're virtual. To start.

667
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.599
It's exciting and you know, the novelty of it can

668
00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:04.119
be consuming. But yeah, then you just have to you

669
00:39:04.239 --> 00:39:06.880
have to taper a little bit and be like, Okay,

670
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.840
you know what, I I can still be part of

671
00:39:09.840 --> 00:39:13.119
this community and not be on their twenty four to

672
00:39:13.119 --> 00:39:15.280
seven and not you know, be the one who makes

673
00:39:15.320 --> 00:39:17.239
everyone laugh or be the one who does the funniest

674
00:39:17.280 --> 00:39:19.679
memes or like back when I was early, I was

675
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.159
all about I was the clip girl, right, that was

676
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:24.760
my whole identity of like, if there's a clip that

677
00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:27.239
is going to be said, I'm gonna have it. And

678
00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.599
then so then it became I would spend hours offline,

679
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:34.159
out of the community. Then pulling clips from lives.

680
00:39:34.840 --> 00:39:35.119
Yeah.

681
00:39:35.159 --> 00:39:37.079
So it's like it was my whole life and I thought, God, no,

682
00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:40.400
I can't. Yeah, that's why it's like, I'm so kind

683
00:39:40.400 --> 00:39:42.800
of so glad that there's new people with the same

684
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:45.000
kind of excitement I had back then, and now I

685
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:47.599
just use their clips. Well, actually there's more gifts now.

686
00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:49.440
People don't do clips. I do miss the clip. I

687
00:39:49.440 --> 00:39:50.400
still have my library.

688
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:53.360
So I missed the clips, miss the old fashion mine. Yeah,

689
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:54.960
and then again I miss my I miss my space,

690
00:39:56.800 --> 00:39:59.840
I think as well. Back then, especially in the FIR,

691
00:40:00.599 --> 00:40:04.519
at least the first six months, i'd see people saying, oh,

692
00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:07.480
I just need to step back. I'm just gonna step

693
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:09.599
back for a few weeks or whatever a little while,

694
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.159
and I'll be going, yeah, of course, yeah, oh my god. Yeah.

695
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.360
In the back of my head, if I'm being brittally honest,

696
00:40:15.360 --> 00:40:18.719
with which I'm always honest, I was going, why this

697
00:40:18.840 --> 00:40:22.239
is amazing, Yeah, well I would just step back from this.

698
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:25.239
Oh my god, this is just this is life. Not

699
00:40:25.280 --> 00:40:29.199
realizing I was answering my own fucking question. I was

700
00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:33.199
saying that this is everything, not realizing that that was

701
00:40:33.239 --> 00:40:35.639
the exact answer, that was why that person was stepping

702
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:39.119
away because they'd come to the realization that just because

703
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:42.280
the community changes you for the better, whether it is

704
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:46.440
finding a new thing that you liked or finally being

705
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:50.159
heard or seen, it doesn't mean that you owe that

706
00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.760
space the rest of you as payback.

707
00:40:54.360 --> 00:40:57.519
Yeah, And that those parts of you that you found

708
00:40:57.599 --> 00:41:00.639
as a result of the community not going to then

709
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:03.519
be lost again if you step away like you have

710
00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:05.519
found them now. You can't put the toothpaste back in

711
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:07.960
the tube, right, So, but I know it can feel

712
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.360
so fulfilling and so exciting that it's like I can't

713
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:13.480
I can't possibly step away. And the other thing I

714
00:41:13.559 --> 00:41:15.119
had when I heard people say they were going to

715
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.119
step away and I had the same reaction of you,

716
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:21.559
is like why this place is great? I think eventually

717
00:41:21.719 --> 00:41:24.719
there was a part of me that didn't want to

718
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:27.679
hear about people stepping back because then it did make

719
00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:30.559
me look at myself. I should probably be doing that too.

720
00:41:30.800 --> 00:41:33.199
Am I spending too much time in here? If other

721
00:41:33.199 --> 00:41:35.960
people are recognizing that they are? But I didn't want

722
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:37.639
to face that because I just wanted to spend all

723
00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:40.920
my time there. So it's a tricky ride. And so, yeah,

724
00:41:40.960 --> 00:41:43.480
to your points much, I have a lot of empathy

725
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:47.920
for people just discovering the communities and being in there

726
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:51.000
a lot being like, yeah, I get it, you're you

727
00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:54.159
know where I where I worried as a mod Now

728
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:57.199
where I worry more is when after six months or so,

729
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.480
I don't see it starting to taper, or it's months in,

730
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:02.159
or it's nine months in, and they're still in there

731
00:42:02.199 --> 00:42:04.880
are the time, and I'm thinking, I mean, again, it's

732
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.440
their choice, but it's just something that I keep an

733
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.960
eye on now, just from a mid perspective, just to

734
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:12.199
make sure that people are are doing okay.

735
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:15.440
Yeah, I agree. I also think we don't know what's

736
00:42:15.480 --> 00:42:19.719
going on in somebody's home life, personal life. We don't

737
00:42:19.760 --> 00:42:23.079
know that these communities are not all they have. Yeah,

738
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:26.559
so yeah, I still wouldn't judge. I wouldn't say that,

739
00:42:27.039 --> 00:42:29.400
you know, I still think that something in their lives

740
00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:33.239
is suffering. And if you're alone and you're in an

741
00:42:33.280 --> 00:42:36.880
online community all the time, you're not giving yourself that

742
00:42:36.960 --> 00:42:40.239
push to go out and meet people in the flesh.

743
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:42.960
But then also these communities then I think realize that

744
00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.159
and there's a lot of meeting people in the wild.

745
00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:47.320
There's a lot of these communities that go out and

746
00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:51.920
meet other people in the community, and that unfortunately and

747
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.599
very very sadly, some of those people that you meet

748
00:42:55.639 --> 00:42:58.039
in the in the community and you meet in the lives,

749
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:03.880
you meet in the in real life time, they don't

750
00:43:03.880 --> 00:43:06.800
have a friend circle. They don't have people that they

751
00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:08.679
go out with or that they can rely on. That

752
00:43:08.719 --> 00:43:12.440
community is everything to them. Yeah, so then I think

753
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:14.840
that the community can be seen as a best friend

754
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:15.159
for me.

755
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.480
Yeah, oh my gosh, yeah, you know, and it's great. Yeah, yeah,

756
00:43:19.519 --> 00:43:21.599
and it's great. But and yeah, and I think I

757
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:25.320
think there are people who are it might have stepped

758
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:28.079
out of their comfort zone to meet people in real

759
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:32.320
life and really challenged themselves to do it, and we're

760
00:43:32.360 --> 00:43:34.760
better for it. So it's like, yeah, this commune. I

761
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:37.760
mean just this past weekend, I was out with three

762
00:43:37.800 --> 00:43:40.480
other members of the community who I met through the community.

763
00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:42.719
We went bowling, we went to a escape room, and

764
00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:45.800
it was like, it's so fun to meet the screen

765
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:47.880
people in real life because it's like, oh my god,

766
00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:50.400
you're just you but just in three D Yes. Taking

767
00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:53.000
some of these friendships offline has been amazing and I

768
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:54.880
see it all the time now in the communities, people

769
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:57.920
planning little pocket meetups of like, oh my god, I

770
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:00.199
live in that area too, we should get together and

771
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.639
and people do it. It's it's so good to see.

772
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:05.719
Yeah, I think there's a there's a difference between using

773
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:10.079
a community to to build that those friendships and those

774
00:44:10.079 --> 00:44:14.840
community groups that there's a two way support network on it.

775
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:15.199
Yeah.

776
00:44:15.239 --> 00:44:17.599
I think my worry is that they're you know, people

777
00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:20.840
come into the communities and they try to be the

778
00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:22.079
bigger person, you know.

779
00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:24.599
The biggest personality.

780
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:28.000
Yeah, Yeah, to be to be the person who you know,

781
00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:31.639
is the one who's so close to the knuckle, or

782
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:35.400
the most feral or the most you know, or the

783
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:40.760
you know, the most obsessed with the creator or something

784
00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:44.119
like that. They're using it for means that are not

785
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.119
community right minded.

786
00:44:47.840 --> 00:44:50.480
They're they're filling a void. So it's kind of like

787
00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:52.920
you know, how we jog about like men have a

788
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:55.000
problem if women have sex toys, it's like, it's not

789
00:44:55.039 --> 00:44:59.159
a replacement, it's an enhancement to the relationship. So these communities,

790
00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:04.239
hopefully and the healthiest sense, are an enhancement to your life, yes,

791
00:45:04.519 --> 00:45:09.559
and not either not a replacement or an escape from it. Yes,

792
00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:11.480
although it can be like believe me. Like sometimes I

793
00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:14.079
just want to like like zone out. I'm going to

794
00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:17.519
go online and just kind of like disassociate. It's fine.

795
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:21.159
But yeah, if it is if it's someplace that you

796
00:45:21.280 --> 00:45:25.199
go to for your only source of happiness, let's say,

797
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:27.519
then that's kind of worth taking a look at. So

798
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:32.519
if it's a replacement or an escape to an unhealthy level,

799
00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:35.320
then yeah, then it's kind of worth looking at.

800
00:45:36.119 --> 00:45:38.960
Yeah. So I think communities can be the most amazing thing.

801
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:41.840
And I think going back to again the originals and

802
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:46.639
new people coming on board to Quinn, it has direct

803
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.800
impact into these communities. Yeah, it has direct impact in

804
00:45:49.840 --> 00:45:51.800
the volume of people that are coming in these communities.

805
00:45:51.880 --> 00:45:54.079
I've noticed it in the communities that I'm in. Oh,

806
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:58.079
they've increased, you know, and you know, often when they

807
00:45:58.079 --> 00:46:03.400
do the introductions, it used to be fun to say, oh,

808
00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:05.760
I came for Andrew Scott. Yeah, that used to be

809
00:46:05.840 --> 00:46:08.880
like perfectly normal and absolutely fine to say that. Now

810
00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:12.079
it feels like it's a bit of the wrong thing

811
00:46:12.199 --> 00:46:14.719
to say, you know, I came for Ember and Ice.

812
00:46:15.159 --> 00:46:17.639
Because of Ember and Ice, you know, it doesn't feel

813
00:46:17.639 --> 00:46:20.519
as positive as it did. Interesting, when I used to

814
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:23.800
introduce myself as I spo. I found Quinn because of

815
00:46:23.840 --> 00:46:26.960
Andrew Scott. Yeah, where it's loud and proud, And now

816
00:46:26.960 --> 00:46:29.159
I think people are more wary about saying that they

817
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:31.679
came for an original because well.

818
00:46:31.639 --> 00:46:34.280
Because everyone's so loud about how they hate the Originals

819
00:46:34.320 --> 00:46:36.719
and there's too many and they're focusing on the wrong people.

820
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.440
So I didn't even think of that, Like, what is

821
00:46:38.480 --> 00:46:40.320
it like as someone who comes in from one of

822
00:46:40.360 --> 00:46:44.280
the originals, are they then seen as the enemy because

823
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:48.159
they came via a path that should have been reserved

824
00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:51.360
for the current vas See that's where it gets so messy.

825
00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:54.800
It just gets me, gets political, gets commercial, and it

826
00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:58.079
gets to the point where it removes all of the

827
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.960
fun and the comfort and the communities are therefore and

828
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:06.960
I think I think everybody, if you should accept everybody in. However,

829
00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:10.440
they found Quinn, however they found audio erotica. Nobody seems

830
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:12.760
to be worried that they found audio erotica on Gone

831
00:47:12.760 --> 00:47:17.039
World Audio or dipsy or read it or you know,

832
00:47:17.400 --> 00:47:19.880
magic Wave, but they're bothered that they found it through

833
00:47:19.880 --> 00:47:21.760
a Queinn original. Well why is that?

834
00:47:22.519 --> 00:47:23.639
Yeah, that's a good question.

835
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:25.840
It feels like there seems to be a lot more

836
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:29.719
talk about yeah, the Queen Originals being not the way

837
00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:33.480
to enter into audio erotica, and it's like, fuck off,

838
00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:37.199
who are you to decide what my gateway into audero

839
00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:42.079
erotica is. If Quinn Originals are my gateway drug into Quinn,

840
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.840
then that's that's what I'm going to go.

841
00:47:45.519 --> 00:47:47.960
Yeah. Yeah, So it's kind of like, you know, don't

842
00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:50.440
hate the player, hate the game. Yeah, you know, if

843
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:53.960
you hate that that the Queinn Originals are promoted as

844
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:56.920
much as they are, I get it. Like, and I

845
00:47:57.480 --> 00:48:00.480
have to believe Quinn knows this because it's it is

846
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:04.800
so loud everywhere about how much people get mad when

847
00:48:05.119 --> 00:48:09.440
another original is announced until it's someone they really like,

848
00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:11.800
like this this one is really like I hear even

849
00:48:11.800 --> 00:48:13.840
those who are usually squawking about how much they hit

850
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:15.840
the original is going well but this one.

851
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.760
So I'm like, okay, So.

852
00:48:19.000 --> 00:48:22.239
So it's it's bad until you you.

853
00:48:22.159 --> 00:48:24.679
Really like the person or something. But yeah, it's listen,

854
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:26.719
it's a business model not everyone's going to agree with,

855
00:48:28.119 --> 00:48:29.880
but it's a business model that brought a lot of

856
00:48:29.920 --> 00:48:31.719
your really good friends to this space.

857
00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:39.360
Yeah, and in the communities, don't don't be vocally vocal

858
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:42.920
or openly writing about how you don't want all these

859
00:48:43.039 --> 00:48:47.119
new people in space. First off, it's not your space.

860
00:48:47.159 --> 00:48:50.639
It's a community space. It's an auto erotica community space. Yeah,

861
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:54.280
for the most part, you do not own it. And

862
00:48:54.719 --> 00:48:58.480
these people that are coming in they were you, yeah

863
00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:01.280
a year ago, two years, three years ago, they are

864
00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:04.360
you yep. So how would you feel if the first

865
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:06.920
comment that you saw was Oh, I don't like all

866
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:09.760
these new people coming just because of the originals. Because

867
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:11.840
I'm not being funny. If I'd have read a comment

868
00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:15.360
like that when I first found Quinn through Andrew Scott

869
00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:18.000
would be in this community, I wouldn't be a mod,

870
00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:19.840
wouldn't have met you, wouldn't be on the podcast.

871
00:49:20.000 --> 00:49:21.679
Yeah, that's true.

872
00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:27.400
All you're doing is you're doing a disservice to these communities,

873
00:49:27.480 --> 00:49:28.079
is what you're doing.

874
00:49:28.239 --> 00:49:31.360
Yeah, Because if you're saying that you want the the

875
00:49:31.639 --> 00:49:36.639
quote unquote in house vas to flourish, they flourished by

876
00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:41.199
more people joining their communities. So it's there. They're having

877
00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:45.679
the success you hope for, but it's going to mean

878
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:48.440
less access.

879
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:52.320
For you exactly. So if you found clitar sense, if

880
00:49:52.320 --> 00:49:57.239
you're out there comment on whatever podcast platform that you're

881
00:49:57.280 --> 00:50:01.480
listening to this on and comment and tell her who

882
00:50:01.880 --> 00:50:05.599
you came to Quinn for and then who you stayed for,

883
00:50:05.639 --> 00:50:08.519
because it's different for everybody. I came for Andrew Scott,

884
00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:09.639
I stayed for Orcus.

885
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:11.039
Yeah.

886
00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:15.000
I maybe we put that up as a question our story, Okay, Yeah,

887
00:50:15.079 --> 00:50:17.599
I think it'll be. It can be really interesting, like, yeah,

888
00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:20.159
what did an original bring you here? And if so, who,

889
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.559
and then what creators did you find as a result. Yeah,

890
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:26.000
that would be really good to know. There's the market

891
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:27.119
research that Quin should be.

892
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:33.000
Doing exactly Queenn, Hello, marketing team at your.

893
00:50:32.880 --> 00:50:34.880
Service, Ry Jesus.

894
00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:39.840
But yeah, communities are everything. Yeah, and I think there's

895
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:43.760
the communities that stay together that make people stay longer

896
00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:45.719
on Quinn as well. I do think there's a correlation

897
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:49.880
between all these communities being built and Quinn's popularity, because,

898
00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:51.400
like you said, even if you looked at the eighty

899
00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:55.800
twenty year old one hundred people come with quin original,

900
00:50:56.239 --> 00:50:59.320
twenty percent will stay, eighty percent will go yep. Yeah,

901
00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.639
but those twenty percent sense day they build the communities,

902
00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:04.559
they stay, they start promoting, they do their fucking TikTok

903
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:09.719
videos there you know, it's they have live listening parties,

904
00:51:09.840 --> 00:51:12.920
they buy the merch they you know, they look out

905
00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:14.519
for people on the street who are wearing a pink

906
00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:17.599
headphones and see if there's Quinn written on the side. Yeah, yep,

907
00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:22.920
it's it's something bigger than what I think Quinn think.

908
00:51:23.000 --> 00:51:27.800
It is Quinn supports and their people's subscribers and people

909
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:29.719
in these communities are people that I think Quinn need

910
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:31.800
to take more notice of and they need to listen

911
00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:32.519
to a bit more.

912
00:51:32.880 --> 00:51:36.159
Yes, yeah, now that I will ark you like, tap

913
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:41.880
into your market and learn about us, because I'm telling

914
00:51:41.920 --> 00:51:45.599
you you think it's all like Jen Alpha, No, it's

915
00:51:45.960 --> 00:51:49.800
all so yeah, I mean yeah, talk to your talk

916
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:50.960
to your audience more.

917
00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:53.800
Why wouldn't you? I mean they have what do they

918
00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:55.880
have like these I don't can't remember what they call

919
00:51:55.920 --> 00:51:57.280
them where they get a group of people and they

920
00:51:57.280 --> 00:51:59.840
go into a fucking room and new is serious focus grips,

921
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:03.639
I have it for fucking cereal. Do Quinn have a

922
00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:07.360
focus group for their next Queinn original or fucking what

923
00:52:07.440 --> 00:52:10.800
the next types of audios? Whatever? You know? Erly, they're

924
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:15.280
looking at the cross section of their subscribers and their

925
00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:15.960
fan base.

926
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:19.960
Yeah, but again, the originals are not for subscribers. They're

927
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:23.639
to extract a new subscribers. So but yeah, I mean it's.

928
00:52:24.559 --> 00:52:29.039
About why they stay. Get focus group focused quite subscribers.

929
00:52:29.159 --> 00:52:32.199
Ask one hundred Queenn subscribers who have been there for

930
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:34.360
more than it, if subscribed for more than a year,

931
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:35.960
and ask them why they stayed.

932
00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:38.760
Yeah, yeah, what keeps you coming back?

933
00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:39.360
Yeah?

934
00:52:39.480 --> 00:52:41.679
And I know they probably get that data from the

935
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:44.679
play counts from the subscriber accounts. I get that, But

936
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:49.119
nothing beats talking to your audience. A little survey you

937
00:52:49.119 --> 00:52:54.039
could put out, that's it. Yeah, Google form survey really easy.

938
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:56.440
Like it's a whole different kind of market research. Even

939
00:52:56.480 --> 00:52:58.480
though we're all so vocal, we're all out there on

940
00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:03.519
social media, it's still different to have pointed questions asked

941
00:53:04.159 --> 00:53:07.280
to your community to help you continue to grow this

942
00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:12.239
because yeah, it's kind of have to evolve in some way,

943
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:12.840
shape or form.

944
00:53:12.920 --> 00:53:18.519
So yeah, talk to us, not necessarily us specifically. We're

945
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:20.000
very busy. We're very busy.

946
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:21.199
We're very busy people.

947
00:53:23.199 --> 00:53:25.920
But yeah, just just listen, just listen out.

948
00:53:26.320 --> 00:53:28.920
Just listen. I think we've I think we've rambled.

949
00:53:29.679 --> 00:53:32.800
I think we have, and that's been well we're going

950
00:53:32.880 --> 00:53:35.320
to edit this down to the not the four hour

951
00:53:35.400 --> 00:53:38.880
conversation that we've just had. Yeah, Nope, it's been it's

00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:47.280
absolutely be doing more of these chit chats because we've

955
00:53:47.280 --> 00:53:51.400
been lacking them and we do hear from Clitisen saying

956
00:53:51.440 --> 00:53:53.119
