Cause To Pause

 Jen and Dagda pop in for a short but important episode to explain why After Dark is taking a brief hiatus.

 Between Patreon flagging their BDSM history episode over content warnings, both hosts landing new jobs, and the general exhaustion of doing it all — a pause is needed. 

They share job news (warehouse life and retail management), workplace drama, and why Conversations Over Coffee will always be the passion project that keeps going. Plus: global listener excitement, a Gen Z content spiral, and a teaser for an upcoming multi-part series on a topic "89.3% of active adults enjoy."

Always a good time to be had...After Dark.

We truly enjoyed our time working on the brick and mortar side of the adult industry. We spent A LOT of time trying to satisfy and satiate many a curious mind while educating the 1st timers on some adult fun ideas!

We had a great employer who was not only the 1st fully licensed adult store in Washington , Momma D was the 1st FEMALE adult store owned in our state!

Welcome

SPEAKER_00 0:05

Welcome to Everyday Life. This is our After Dark podcast. My name is Jen.

SPEAKER_01 0:11

And I'm Dagda.

SPEAKER_00 0:12

Here is your explicit content warning. The following episode includes adult language, content, and situations that is intended for entertainment purposes and mature audiences only. So sit back, relax, and take a listen. Ready for the journey, Dagda? Yep. Alright, let's go.

SPEAKER_01 0:34

Yes, indeed.

The Catch Up

SPEAKER_00 0:36

Indeedly, yes.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

You are a weirdo.

SPEAKER_00 0:40

Um, I pride myself on that fact. I was talking to somebody the other day and they looked at me and I said, Oh, just ignore me. I'm a weirdo and I like it. And they looked at me and they smiled and went, I like it too. I'm like, okay, creepy.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

Watch out for them weirdos. Mr. We are the weirdos. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 0:59

What's that from again? I think that was um the craft.

SPEAKER_00 1:04

That's true. You know, somebody was showing me some stuff like the 2000 babies people, like late 90s to early 2000 people, like some kind of special unicorn and some kind of I don't know. Like they were like, Do you know what this is? And I said, I have no idea. I've heard of Skibbity Toilet, but I don't know what it is. Oh, it's so stupid. And then they showed me like five minutes of a video that I couldn't even understand. I was just like, my head cannot even equate this stupidity. And they were like, Exactly, this is the shit I grew up on. And I was like, Oh. That explains so much. So, so much, so much, so much. Anyways, how are you doing today? I'm doing all right. How are you doing? I'm doing very good. Uh finally got something to eat. So um, not so crabby, because you know, hadn't really eaten. Like I had a couple little snacks here and there, but you know, yeah, hadn't had a meal. I'm hangry. Uh yeah, that's actually I was getting hangry, but I had a bunch of a bunch of errands, which you were thank you very much. Nice enough to run with me.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

Yeah, I know. I'm amazing. Oh my fuck god.

SPEAKER_00 2:11

Uh, anyways, but uh now I don't have a now officially the gate locks, so yeah, it didn't for a couple weeks there, but you know, we're not telling anybody shh so you know now it officially does, so that's good.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Yeah, that was fucking driving me crazy. I'm like, this is not secure.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

I it's only one day a week you have to deal with it, but you made me feel bad because you bitched about it two weeks in a row.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Get a lock that actually locks, god damn it.

SPEAKER_00 2:40

And then, and then the the the extra keys I had made. I should have just picked fucking one of the ones they had on display because it was cheaper. Because the ones for those size locks, the replacement for those, if you picked one of those, were like four bucks where they charged me five.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:00

I'm like you sons of bitches. But, anyways, it's secure, it's locked, we have new locks. Thank you, thank you. It's all done now. Um, and I don't but I will say this if I ever have another Amazon return, I am totally gonna do it through Whole Foods. That was the easiest return I've ever done. Minus the way she gave that dirty look to my safe way bag. Like, ugh. Do you know who we are? We're Whole Foods. You know, I know I know what you're acting like, but anyways. Um Whole Foods. Ho, Whole Foods. Um anyways, so I I wanted to come and do a kind of a short episode today for After Dark because we need to explain a couple things to people.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

Okay. So, first off, um When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much.

SPEAKER_00 3:45

Lies when a dude, when a natural-born dude and a natural-born chick stick things together and he vomits inside her vagina with his penis, sometimes you get a golden child butthole.

SPEAKER_02 4:00

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 4:02

You're like, you dick. You uh did you even see when you text me other the other day? And I tell you, you're like, of course, I'm the golden child. Uh for fuck's sake. I'm like, uh, I'm hardly even seeing you right now, and I already I want to take your nose and twist it. Have you met me? Oh, so many times. Over and over, so many times, so many times, but but um that's neither here nor there because we're all awesome in our own ways. We are officially, we weren't raised with a participation trophy just for breathing, but although I should have gotten one. I mean, it was quite a swim to get from A to B.

SPEAKER_01 4:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:41

You know, because I've seen pictures of your mom. Your mom looked like athletic, like she was like, like she was very athletic.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 4:48

So she was fast, not easy, fast.

SPEAKER_01 4:51

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

I'm just saying, she probably ran away. Ew, boy cooties. No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I I think your mom would have had a very pleasant sense of humor, or one just like yours. I uh one or the other.

SPEAKER_01 5:03

Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 5:04

I barely remember my mom, so I know, but I know you remember the important moments, so yeah. The how do you like them apples? She did not treat you that way all the time.

SPEAKER_01 5:15

Yeah, definitely not all the time. But yeah, that was literally one of the last things I remember her saying to me.

SPEAKER_00 5:21

Was she saying it as a joke or as a serious thing? No, after she swapped my butt. Wow, how do you like them apples? I love you so much more, Connie, knowing that you whapped his ass for being a punk ass. Oh, I love it. Yeah. Here's the thing: I know you as an adult, and I've known you for so long that honestly, I feel like there's a big part of you that's doing like that evil villain grin where your head's down and you're like, when you do things to stir shit up, but not stir shit. I'm not trying to stir shit up, you know, but you do a little bit by reminders. And it's like, you are awful. I can tell you're an only child. Go make Michael eat more eggs.

unknown 6:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

Anyways, I thought we should come and do a short episode because a couple of things have happened. One, apparently, Patreon um is really concerned about the final part of our BDSM series, which talks about the history of where Cidomasochism comes from. Yeah. And so I had to go through and change the warnings

What a Golden Child...

SPEAKER_00 6:30

on it to see if that will let them actually play that episode. Um, so right now we're kind of on a pause on that episode. We'll see. They might, your people might have to just go to the um, they might just have to go to Buzz Sprout and change their membership to there. Uh, because Buzz Sprout's like, hey, you marked it explicit content with us. We're good, we're golden. Yeah. And even though it is marsh marked, even though it is marked as explicit content, Patreon still has that right to say, you know, and obviously without definition, without cause, if they just see you speaking about violence in any manner or things of that nature that we just we discussed on that episode. Um, they have the they they have the right to suspend the episode from ever being on the platform. So, I mean, I love history because history teaches us so much, and it's where we learn how to do things better. Yeah, you know, and and history will repeat itself if we forget it. So we don't want to do that, but that was just kind of like a oh, there has been a level of complacency on my part, and I'll take the blame for it on my part because I love the AI write-ups, and I usually change them and rearrange them a little bit to make sure I'm not hitting any trigger warnings with that. Um, but I didn't, and I and I realized that maybe I'm a little bit more tired than I thought I was. So, first of all, I I wanted to put that out there that it's not that we're shirking our responsibilities, and even if I hadn't done that, just the fact that it um apparently Mazar is a trigger warning because people know what masochism is. So I don't know. Whatever. Uh so, anyways, so uh Patreon put that episode on pause. Okay. We'll see. I I went through, I changed the triggers on it to where it shouldn't be an issue. Um, so we'll see what they have to say in the next. Well, they say the next two to three business days, which actually means the next two to three business weeks. Yeah. So, I mean, that's just a reality. I sent a I sent an email to Patreon that they said you have 48 hours to to finish doing this, and I sent it to them, and they're like, We'll get a confirmation to you as soon as it's all done when we first got the Patreon account. It was three weeks before I got a thumbs up, and we'd already been using the account for weeks. So, anyways, uh, so there's that. The other thing is that I am uh going to have us take a break from After Dark for a couple weeks because there's a lot going on right now.

SPEAKER_02 9:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:15

And we can talk about it here because all the nosy nosy people have to pay to hear it. Yeah. So um what's your big news? I got a job. You know what?

Why the Pause...

SPEAKER_00 9:30

Fancy that, me too.

SPEAKER_02 9:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:32

But we're not gonna say where because we can't say where. And we're not gonna say we can say what we do, just not where we work and who we work with.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:40

So, you know, privacy, respect, and all that. So, what do you do now? Basically, I have a warehouse job. So you're you're putting stuff together and making stuff better. Sure. Well, I mean, isn't that what warehouse people do? They take things and they move them and they rearrange them and or they build them or they clean them or like whatever. They take a product. Yeah, they take them. Yeah. So they take a product and make it better than it was before and says, hey, buy my shit, right?

SPEAKER_01 10:08

Sure.

SPEAKER_00 10:09

Essentially, okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:10

Essentially, warehouses move stuff from point A to point B.

SPEAKER_00 10:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

So that's what you're doing. Inside of inside of the same building. That's essentially what you're doing if you're working in a warehouse.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Nice. Well, the last warehouse I worked in, you're correct. I was doing receiving work, and it was yep, look the item over. Is it broken? Is it bent? Is it scratched? Is it scraped? Is it leaking? Why is it leaking? Because it shouldn't be leaking. Um bring it in and it goes to the other side of the warehouse.

SPEAKER_02 10:40

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 10:41

Well, it goes inside into a crate, and that crate gets moved to the other side of the house. So yes, I understand that, but I was trying to trying to make it sound special, but no.

SPEAKER_01 10:50

I mean, it's not that special. Move box A from point one to point two.

SPEAKER_00 10:56

Wow, the golden child admitting something they're doing is not that special.

SPEAKER_01 11:01

Oh, yes. I've done many, many, many, many, many, many things that weren't special.

SPEAKER_00 11:06

I know, and I've born witness to some of those things. No, so how so you just started it? So, um, and of course, spoiler alert, cats out of the bag, I've actually been working for a while.

SPEAKER_02 11:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Um, in our state, anything over 28 hours now is considered full time. It's either 28 or 30, it's now considered full time. So I've technically been working full-time for a couple months um doing uh retail management. So uh it's been an interesting up and down ride, and uh, I'm kind of amazed. I've made it as far as I have into the process because there was an interesting dynamic going on where uh in a different universe, it would have been legal for me to stab somebody in their eye and kick them in their cooter. However, that's not the universe we live in. Yeah, it's not in Earth 101.579, huh?

SPEAKER_01 12:04

We don't you live in the boys, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

We don't we don't live in the void or anywhere else, anyways. We don't live anywhere cool right now, right? Um, so uh I like it. I like what I do. I don't like it as much as like what we did for Mama D. Because that's just fun.

SPEAKER_02 12:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:21

That's just fun until stupid shit happens or you get stupid phone calls. But that's any job, right? Yeah. But uh I like what the company's supposed to stand for.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:33

And I like, I really do like everybody who works there, but uh actually, I really like everybody who works there now, except for one. So that's really cool. But the reason why one of the people I'm not sure how I feel about them is because they're just so new to the company. I don't know how I feel about them. So time will tell.

SPEAKER_02 12:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:53

Because I have a little suspicion in the back of my head, and I I tend not to say my suspicions on on mic, on camera, uh, because if I'm right, it's gonna be like, How did you know? And then I have to explain, and I don't want to explain.

SPEAKER_01 13:11

It's called deduction, bitch.

SPEAKER_00 13:13

It's called deductive reasoning, bitches. Watch some Sherlock Holmes and he'll teach you a thing or two. But um, I'm not sure how I feel about the individual yet, and it's just one individual. Everybody else, I really do like okay. There's one lady I tolerate. Luckily, 90 95% of the time, I don't have to deal with her. Yeah, so she's neither here nor there for me. So, whatever. And then there's one individual I'm not sure how I feel about, but the only person I was really dis disliking is not there anymore. So I can honestly say, right? And and the only reason why I was disliking them is because of not the treatment to me, because being the FNG, you get used to having a certain level of assholeness, right? Yeah. Well, um, it was literally the treatment I saw happen to three other, three other of my underlings. And the thing that blew my top that was like it for me, where I I didn't push the process because I knew where the process was going. And we kind of had this this moment where it was just like everybody was just like, hey, you didn't know because we didn't tell you, because we didn't we don't we know how empathetic you are, and we

What's the other news...

SPEAKER_00 14:30

didn't want you getting upset, but hey, this deal that went down tonight was happening tomorrow, one way or the other. So I didn't know that going into the situation. But when I had an employee, one of my employees come to me and say ABCD about this individual, it blew my top. I was angry. And I went in and I made a phone call, and I'm like WTF. Yeah, pretty much. And the thing about it is that I wanted clear, concise guidelines from another power that would say, follow these steps, do these exact wordings, and then send them fucking home. And that's and I was like, cool, but they took it even farther a step than that because then they realized there were other issues going on. So, anyways, um, so why a cause for the pause? Um, I'm fucking tired. Yeah, I'm tired. Um, I want you to acclimate to your new job. I want to continue to acclimate to my job because we've done really good with keeping the episodes up and in order. And yeah, maybe I'm half hour late on, you know, Mondays starting to publish like the reels or whatever, but I still get them all scheduled and they all get done on time.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:40

Um, but I want to see how much further that Patreon also is going to push our content. Because here's the thing with Patreon is once you have something that's triggered them, they can go back and look over your content and say, yeah, this can't be here either. So I kind of want to see how that shakes out before we keep or make changes.

SPEAKER_02 15:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 15:58

So I thought, and I did a lot of time, I've been thinking about this for a month, because I'd asked you a month ago, do you think we should pause? And you were like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 16:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:08

But for me, I've been thinking about it a lot, and I'm like, well, two things. One, um, you're essentially until we get back up to the um production strength that we had before. Because we, because I I do recognize I was tired and it was hard to record two days, two episodes in one day.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

It was like you'd come over, we'd gossip about work, we'd go grab lunch, we'd do one recording. I'm tired. I'm good. I'm tired. Why don't you go home early? And the look on your face sometimes would be like, Why are you fucking tired? I'm fucking tired because I'm working later at night.

SPEAKER_02 16:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:45

But it's gonna, I think it's gonna provide a balance. So I want to see how things roll out with Patreon. And honestly, um, you know, I love talking about sexual wellness, sexual history, all those fun things because we have some great informative episodes, and I still chuckle about some of the things we've talked about on this, but at the same time, my brain needs a break from it because I can't. I mean, for fuck's sakes, you just informed what did you just call that whole thing? You just explained to me what it was when you're doing A, B, and C at the same time. What's it called? Where you're crapping and jerking off all at the same time?

SPEAKER_01 17:22

A number three.

SPEAKER_00 17:23

Yeah, number three, like it's unrealistic.

SPEAKER_01 17:26

That can't actually happen, but you know.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

Well, the thing the thing about it is, is as you were telling that story and we're kind of cracking jokes on that story, I just sit there going, you know, I really don't want to encourage a number three. But I will encourage cleanliness.

SPEAKER_02 17:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:42

You know, like um, I don't know if it was ever in an episode that made it to error or not, but we actually talked about masturbation in the military and how like you like I'd read up on the fact that like in when I was working on our local base for moving, there were signs at the back, you know, in the the there used to be signs in the communal areas about no jerking off in the showers because of how much caustic damage it does to the drains and stuff. And so, you know, even now when they get their room assignments, they're told don't be jerking off in your tobs and your drains and stuff. Yeah. And so I just thought it was funny, but then you were talking about number three, and I'm just like, my brain is automatically going, wait a minute, is it the same acability as it would be as the drain? No, because it's surrounded by water, so it's

The Good, The Tolerated, The Gone...

SPEAKER_00 18:30

diluted, so it's not the same. But if you're doing it in the shower and you're rinsing it with water, it wow. So my brain went. When my brain goes from thinking about the number three and jerking off while taking a crap in the toilet, I'm just like, maybe we should also have we have another reason for a pause, you know. But anyways, uh I I think I think what we're gonna do is just take a just a couple weeks off. Give give Patreon the opportunity to catch up, you know. So we'll probably just take a couple weeks off of uh of this, uh off after dark, because after dark's not going away, but we do need a pause on it because um I'm a little overwhelmed. And for me, the the the love project, the pet project, the the what do they call it?

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Passion project.

SPEAKER_00 19:21

The passion project is definitely conversations over coffee because that is something that we can do free to the public. Um, and you know, just from the feedback I've heard from people who've listened to random episodes, um, it's it is a way for people to have a conversation with somebody without having directly be involved. And so that that for me, that's my passion project. Um, I still, you know, would like to work out once Mama D gets back from travels and stuff. I really would love to work out an interview with her.

SPEAKER_02 19:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:52

Um, because again, that goes to that whole thing when we're talking about our memories and we're talking about leaving a legacy. It's something that can be done. Yeah. Man, that soda looks so good. It is pretty good. I haven't had soda in 20 fucking years. 22 years. I think at least 20. Make yourself a case, yeah. A castilla. Um, so anyways, uh yeah. So I wanted to let them know why we needed a pause. And it's not because we're stupid or lazy, because let me tell you what. Speak for yourself. Okay, I'm not stupid or lazy.

SPEAKER_01 20:29

I am lazy?

SPEAKER_00 20:31

You're not stupid.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

You're not both. I'm stupid and lazy.

SPEAKER_00 20:36

Stupidly, I'm lazy when I should not be stupid or lazy. Is that what you're trying to say? Smartly. I am smartly insisting. So, no, it's uh there's just a lot of little things going on. And it's also springtime around here. Spring just started. Oh, yeah. Yep, which means I'm gonna have there's gonna be one more day a week where I'm going to have to be a little more tired. Because so usually Sundays are my recoup day, you know, just like they are for you too, because you go out, you have coffee with your friend, you go home, you chill, or you know, you help other friends or whatever, but you chill. And for me, uh, it's like half of my Sundays are spent doing one thing and the other half are doing recouping. Well, if I'm going to be doing gardening this year, yeah, I'm gonna be losing a day. And and with my schedule not so sincerely set, I'm like, hmm. But you know, people are gonna be going, why wouldn't you just do a whole put together a whole bunch of after-dark episodes and and put them out there? Because I have to do a lot of research, okay? Facts, facts when you talk about sexual wellness and sexual history, especially when you're talking about the history of it. It's not like you can go, so this one time I had this dream that uh uh uh about flutes. You know, no, it doesn't work that way. You don't just pull shit off the top of your head, you actually have to. Go research. And because I like the research aspect of it, I don't mind taking a couple days to do a little bit of research here and there.

SPEAKER_01 22:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:07

Because sometimes you can get it all in one place. And other times my brain goes, that doesn't sound right. So what does Google say? What does Google AI say? Oh, what does CBS Fox News, you know, uh back catalog say? So it takes a little more thought and interpretation of it because we could sit here and talk about sex all day long. But

The Reality of Exhaustion and Overwhelm...

SPEAKER_00 22:30

for me, um it's not about like necessarily sex, although I do have I'm working on a four-part thing about sex. I'm working on it.

SPEAKER_01 22:42

I've worked out roughness.

SPEAKER_00 22:44

I've worked out some of the logistics of it and how it's gonna work. That sounds bad. Yeah. Just talking about sex, but I need to research the history of it. And that's the important part to me is because I love sharing knowledge. That's how we grow as a community, is we share knowledge, right? It's how we grow as people and as a community. But more than anything, I want people to stop feeling so fucking dirty about sex. It's shameful, it's not shameful. Masturbation is not the same, shameful, sex is not shameful, gay, straight, in between, buy, try, whatever. It's not shameful. If that is your bag to try, that's your bag to try. It goes back to the conversation we had about having consensual adult sex with consenting adults. That's the key thing right there. So, anyways, um, yeah, I just uh need a little bit of a break, give my brain a little break because it's like I gotta concentrate on work now. Then I gotta concentrate on some home stuff. And my favorite thing to do is conversations over coffee. So I'm not willing to give up my passion project with you because that's where we have fun, that's where we get the most feedback. And it is, you know, I don't want to, I am, I am just like over the moon that we now have listeners in Germany. We now have uh, you know, at least one listener in Japan.

SPEAKER_02 24:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:06

And United Arab Emirates. I mean, are you kidding me? Yeah, God, it would be great if it was Lindsay Lohan and I would be able to say to her, other than you putting makeup on when you were talking about picking your son up from daycare, I thought it was a really cute uh ad that she just did for United Arab Emirates. Okay. Yeah, she was talking about uh like um like a Lexis or something or something picking out her outfit for her.

SPEAKER_02 24:30

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 24:31

And and before she goes to pick her son up from like daycare or or pre-K or whatever it was. And it's funny because she's actually doing mom stuff, like she's cleaning up toys and straightening stuff out, you know, in her condominium in Dubai or whatever. I don't know. But I I'd love it. It was it would be great. Did you know? Speaking of United Arab Emirates, do you know they have some of the most high-end cars over there compared to anywhere else in the world?

SPEAKER_01 24:58

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

Like a lot of people drive like Ferraris and Bentleys and shit like that.

SPEAKER_01 25:02

Yeah, a bunch of the countries where their primary source of income is oil. Um, several of them, it's like a I can't remember what it's called, but basically, if you're a citizen there, you get money from the government from the stipend. Yeah. And some of those countries, the the stipend that you get is ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00 25:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:30

And so, well, compared to the average citizen of the world, you're getting way more money. And so they're driving nothing but Lexuses and fucking It's insane. Bentleys and shit.

SPEAKER_00 25:42

I mean, that's great for them, but that's still super insane. Yeah. Um, but it it excites me because I mean we were just looking at that today, and I'm like, oh, somebody in Germany was this. Whoa. I love that. I love knowing that somebody in Sweden listened, that somebody in the UK listened, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, Japan, Spain, uh, Thailand. I mean, what? I love it because it's it feels like there's a bunch of us weirdos and we're all kind of randomly around. And I feel like we're kind of like, what are those things that pop out of the ground? The prairie dogs? Yeah. Hey, you, what are you doing? Hey, what are you doing? I kind of feel like our heads are starting to pop up. And and like mirror cats.

What's coming next...

SPEAKER_00 26:32

You know, but it's but there's also this old school commercial where they're passing this ball around, you know, kind of like the um, do you remember? I was really young, but way back in the 80s, they were doing hands across America. Do you remember that? Uh, yeah, yeah. So they did this hands across America thing, right? Where everybody was supposed to join hands at a certain time and da-da-da. Well, a few years after that, they did this thing where it was like share a coke and a smile. Yeah. And they took a beach ball and they were bouncing it from person to person, just beach, beach, beach. And they did that kind of showing different states and different regions. And that's kind of what I feel like it is. It's like, hi, want to play whack-a-ball? I'm a weirdo. How about you? Who and off it goes. So, because I I love both podcasts. I even um am excited for your podcast, uh, the Dagda's Hypnotic Gifts, because I know the people that are consistently listening to that, I know they're getting a benefit from it. Of course. Oh, for fuck's sake. So you're rotten. So we're gonna we're gonna sign off today um for about 21 to 30 days on After Dark, and maybe not even that long. Maybe not even long, maybe it'll just be 14 days.

SPEAKER_02 27:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 27:48

Yeah, let's maybe just at least two weeks. But let's let's give Patreon a chance to shake out their shit. Let me get an opportunity to catch my breath. You get used to working again and uh get some more research in because I'm really excited about the next thing that we're going to be kind of bundle talking about, which is gonna take uh you know three or four episodes to do. Um, but I'm really excited about it because it's uh it's something that it's sex, it's something everybody it's something that like 89.3% of active adults enjoy. Not everybody done it, but everybody should. Right. Hey, I know people who've passed away still virgins, and I respect that decision. Sure. Yeah, I mean it's your bag. Huh? It's your bag. Well, it's I mean, my bag's empty. I'm good.

SPEAKER_01 28:37

I mean, it's whoever's bag.

SPEAKER_00 28:39

Yeah, exactly. No, no, no, no. So, but I'm excited. Right, you do you boo. That's how you say it. You do you boo. I'm I'm excited to do more research, so I just need a little more time to do that with getting used to everything. Um, and like I said, I I'm I'm really excited about conversations just because I love like when we look at the list of places, even within the continental United States, seeing the list of places, it's like, what's up, Florida? What's up? And it was so funny. I was talking to Agent Double H yesterday, and I was telling her, hey, um, so I've been pondering it over and I've been kind of talking to Dagda a little bit about it. And you, and it's so great. Your response to everything is so great. Okay. Just like like you're like me, we can't force things.

SPEAKER_02 29:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:25

And when we need a break from one aspect to the other, usually we have a bank we can rely on. However, the bank we have hasn't been gone through and edited. So we're kind of we gotta make some choices here, right? Um, and I was telling, I was telling her, yeah, it's like super crazy. Somebody in Ashburn, Virginia is just listening all the time. You know what this bitch said to me?

SPEAKER_02 29:50

It's the government.

SPEAKER_00 29:52

I was like, you bitch. She's like, don't talk about the president. I'm like, fuck you. I didn't I don't talk about him, anyways. But I was just like, damn it. Because now I'm all like paranoid, going, crap, it probably is the government in Virginia. Although I have gamer friends who live in Virginia too, just like I have gamer friends that live in Pennsylvania. So you never know. But it just excites me. I think Japan's probably the one I've been the most excited about. Japan and Germany. Germany and Japan. Sure. But I don't know. But then you make you son of a bitch. I was gonna say, and then you made the joke about we have the trifecta. But I just thought it was Germany

The Wrap Up

SPEAKER_00 30:30

makes me happy because I have German heritage, so that makes me happy, you know. I mean, I can't say anything but a couple of bad words and was das. That's the schnell, schnell, Heinzwift, I can say that, no pinch. Heinzwift, I woke up saying that one, which which is amazing because that makes me really believe. Well, you guys will have to, you guys will have to listen in to conversations over coffee to understand something about that in the future. Anyways. So for today, we're gonna sign off for uh two to three weeks. We're gonna see how it rolls out with Patreon and get some more research time in because I definitely need more than two hours research time for the next subject that we're gonna bring up in a multi-part series, which is very exciting to me.

SPEAKER_01 31:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 31:15
