CBC News. Now, if you'd like to hear me ramble on about the last week, that's over on the Patreon, the James Donald Forbes McCann Catamaran Plan Patreon, where I talk about heading back from New York City, being in Steubenville, popping a tire in Pittsburgh, then flying over to New York, being very stressed, going to an interfaith prayer room at the airport, then performing at Radio City Music Hall, and now ending up in this hotel. Hey, that's all over there. That's just the minutiae of my personal life.

All right? Maybe that's helpful for growing the podcast and buying a catamaran. I don't know. But over here on the public podcast, the one that you've got to listen to ads to get to, the one that is the broad church of James Donald Forbes of Cancun Maranplan fans. Always a bad sign when you're stumbling over your own name there. I'm not even hung up. I didn't drink last night.

Everyone else was drinking after the show. They had a wonderful time of it. I just ate lots of fried chicken, had about a thousand waters, and many, many cigarettos. By the way, I'll just say, Radio City Music Hall, wonderful experience, wonderful party afterwards. I saw Dave Chappelle.

That was pretty cool. I also got to meet Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen, who are, you know, they're wonderful, and I was very excited by that, and it was a real thing for me. A little boy from Adelaide had been listening to their podcast. Wow. And so many other great people there, too. and i got to ride in a horse around central park with shane we got on a horse and there was a lovely uh man with morphe his horse and he would take he took us around slowly central park and told us all about on this bridge over here this

where they shot spider-man 3 anyway it's not what i that was all great I don't actually talk about that man on the Patreon, but it's over on the Patreon if you want to listen to that. What I'm talking about today is something very serious. Something very serious to grow the podcast. I've been looking at the numbers, and the numbers are male. Dear listener, there is roughly a 9 out of 10 chance that you are a man and you know what i'm

pretty happy about that because i love the fellas i'm so happy to have men as the audience but what i'd like even more would be to have more ladies i don't want to lose any of the men so happy to have collected a brood of men but something must be done to increase the listenership of ladies. Now, I tried to reach out to Dublin and the ladies in Dublin. With the Dublin lady arc, that was as close as I think as I've come to a breakdown on this podcast. The Dublin lady arc, we now have nine listeners from Dublin. I think they're all men. Everyone who writes to me from Dublin is a man sometimes they say I'm going to try and get my girlfriend to listen to

podcast it's all men something must be done to reach out and in an audio sense touch and bring in to the van that is the James Donald Fools McCann catamaran plan ladies do you know what I'm saying I'm saying let's grab them and throw them in the podcast van so that they're here with us I've been thinking a lot about Norm Macdonald and that bit about throwing a lady in the van the Janice what a great bit ladies ladies hello ladies I've been racking my brain this is a podcast about me trying to buy a boat, okay? Women, well, women are a bit, some people say women and semen don't mix,

but I say women are very, very important for the podcast. I'll give you a couple of reasons. Number one, if I do a live show and the girlfriend is okay, see, here's the, some podcasts just for the boys. And then all the boys have a boys' night out together. What you want, I think, is a podcast that the women can tolerate. So instead of just having all the eight boys,

you get 16 people showing up because they've all brought their beautiful partners. Or you just get women coming out to the show. Women go out more. That's a generalization, but I think we'll find that it's true. There's a lot of men who don't go out, who will listen to you from afar, but are never leaving the house.

Actually, that's not true, because that thing of being afraid to leave your house is, I think, exclusively a female disease of the mind. What's that called? Hold on. It's not kleptomania. Agoraphobia. It's an overwhelmingly female disease of the mind.

Here's, maybe let's get to, at comedy festivals, they always tell me that women buy the most tickets. And that men and women show up in roughly equal numbers. But I think it's that women control where the couple goes. Do you understand what I'm saying? Do you know what I'm saying? I'm saying, why would we leave the beautiful, juicy woman fruit on the vine when it's there for the picking? I mean, I like women. You know, women like me when I'm at a party and I'm talking with women. They seem to enjoy that. I don't think they're

pretending to enjoy talking to me the whole time. Well, if they enjoy that, why wouldn't they enjoy a podcast about me? Maybe because you try and usually talk about other people at parties and I can't use that skill I can't talk about other people I can't make every individual person feel heard I have to do an amalgam women do want to feel heard is one thing I've been looking through the podcasts that appeal to women

and boy is being heard and seen feeling seen is seems to be very important to women a lot of these lists like these are the podcasts that make us feel seen we can't see the hosts but they make us feel seen so if i can find a way to make women feel more seen. Maybe more women will listen to the podcast. Because again, I'm on Instagram. We're getting so many new listeners. Before I came to America, I was like 60-40 men to women. Now, I've got so many more people on Instagram and so many more women. But the split is like 80-2020 and it's getting away from me. Being able to have an audience of women. I,

you know, hey, love Jordan Peterson, right? Love him. Great. Seems great. I'm a Jordan Peterson fan. We disagree on probably a couple of things. Maybe not the things that you're supposed to disagree with Jordan Peterson about. I'm actually probably signed up to that. But, you know, sometimes on a theological point, I'll go, well, I don't think that's what the story with Lot's wife is indicating. And then why are you taking so long to say it? But ultimately, pro-Jordan Peterson. But it's a lot of men.

He's talking to men. He's doing eminent victorian virtue teaching for men and what i want is a boat i'm not here to fix men i'm not here to save men i'm here to have a boat i'm very direct about that if the if the point of the podcast was to save western civilization and turn masculinity around and detoxify people i'd do that too but i'm not here to do that, you know, tick, tick, tock, it's boat o'clock, I've been rambling on for a long time, let's, so here was my idea, so I was looking at podcasts that women like, and there's things like true crime, which I don't understand why women like that, maybe it makes them feel safe to know that other women

out there are being brutally killed and abused sexually, but not them. I can't figure that out. Here's another type of podcast that women like. Two women talking to each other. Can't do that one either. Have thought about, you know, if this podcast makes more money, using some of that money to hire two women and start a new podcast for two women to talk to each other, and then I just take the profits, you understand, I take the profits, and I turn that into a boat, but that feels, well, I mean, that could be good, I don't see why those women couldn't do that themselves, if they wanted to, and then I would just be sort of pimping, that would be, some would say, oh, investing in the future, but I would say pimping, okay, so, I mean, other things that women seem to, I mean, they don't really go in for history

podcasts, that's the only one with research that I'd really like to do, because I don't want to research crimes and talk about that, that sounds like a terrible occasion, here's the one that I think as a genre that I can do. Advice column. Women love the advice column. Men don't like asking for advice. You understand? Men, they hate asking. Oh, don't get a man to ask for directions.

Oh, don't ask a man to go to a therapist. But women love advice. They love, you know, I'm speaking very typically here. I'm sure there are some severely autistic women who don't want to hear what anybody else has to say but by and large as the feminine type um more open to advice as evidenced by the fact that advice columns seem to be a big thing so i've been looking at well i don't have anyone sending me advice at the moment so this is the first so if you're a woman and I'm only taking requests for advice from women all right we don't need any more well actually we do we need a lot more men listening to the podcast but

frankly if you're a man asking for advice I I don't want to give it to you you should have your own stuff together this is more a frail dainty thing to ask for advice, I do believe. So men, keep it to yourself. White knuckle it. Genuinely, nobody is listening to us. Nobody cares about our feelings. Ladies, how I would love it if you would send me requests. Your gal pal, James Donald Forbes McCann. And by gal pal, I'm not a gal, but I'm a pal to gals. Send me your requests for advice. But I'd like to start it now. I'd like to start the advice now. So I, man, the one that I always see popping up in my feed before I unfollowed the Guardian was the Guardian. And it's a philosopher, Eleanor Gordon Smith,

and it's her advice column. And it's like pretty anodyne, soft left, pitiful. You know, I don't think... First of all, I think she's... I wonder if she's writing them.

I'm sure people are sending advice, but I think she might be changing the letters that people write her because they're all written in basically the same style and with the same language. It always goes like partner.

Things are kept fairly gender neutral. I, you know, it's just very Guardian. They all have like a classy painting next to it. and they see she does uh she's one a week you know i won't allow my friend to be homeless but how do i set boundaries while she stays with me i mean that sounds good right that's i mean i've actually been that

homeless friend many a time and you know you read the and the article basically you know i'm i'm humbled and honored to help her but i'm worried that she's going to be living there for a long time i will not allow her to be homeless but my sanity might be on the line if she's going to be my permanent roommate and then you know the other person writes back look you're doing great you're doing great but just because it's good doesn't make it easy so how do you balance that well bring in other members of the community and you can all talk together and be a little bit specific you know it's all sort of like vague positive you're a great person and this is hard and don't do the wrong thing you know it's enough

to send you to sleep and frankly no help at all no help at all for that woman who's trying to get that advice right like if if you've got a homeless friend coming to stay with you and you want them out and you want to preserve that relationship and look after them man i've again i've been that guy right i've been him i've also been the person who's had the homeless person come to stay, and that doesn't help either. I'll tell you what's going to happen. If you've got a homeless person, not like a street tough, but someone who's going through a difficult situation in their life, they won't stay. They'll have a mental crack, and they'll get out of there, and they'll disappear before you know it, okay? They don't want to be a burden, and the reason that they don't have a mental crack and they'll get out of there and they'll disappear before you know it okay they don't want to be a burden and the reason that they don't have a place to stay now is because

they couldn't manage to find an arrangement to stay in a permanent location beforehand why would they manage to start doing that with you now don't worry about it is what no amount of being nice to that person if someone's had a crisis and they currently don't have a place to stay chances are they're in the middle of about four or five other crises they'll get out just enjoy it while it lasts don't fret about the few hey if i'm wrong come back to me but i'm telling you they'll go they always go that's why they don't have a home right now is that more helpful i think i can do these pieces of advice faster and better. I mean, this woman takes,

this woman, Eleanor Gordon-Smith, God bless her, God help her, she takes about a thousand words to answer that one, and all it is is like puffing up the person who's having the other person in there, the homeless person that they're staying with and saying it's really good, there's no easy answers,

and be a little specific and talk to each other. Honestly, if you could be specific and talk to the other person, this is a person who doesn't have a home. They've become unhinged. I am that person right now. Do you know what I'm saying? Niceties with your language and listening to them, trying to connect. What is this liberal ideal that that's a possibility?

Just be nice. Offer them comfort. They'll get out. I promise you they'll get out on their own and if they don't end the friendship kick them out hard because that's not really a homeless person who didn't have a place to stay that is someone who is taking advantage of you and if someone's taking advantage of you and they know people know here's the other thing it's not like i have to be I have to let them know what my boundaries are. People know when they come to stay with you, deep in their heart and their soul,

that they're doing something bad. And that accepting that hospitality is extremely difficult because you just want to be out on your own two feet. So if someone who is mooching off of you is not desperate to get out and is not two feet so if someone who is mooching off of you is not desperate to get out and is not feeling bad about it every day uh then they are taking advantage of you and you've got to kick the ass out here's i mean we'll just bloody hell there are so many of these and i think i could do them all in about a sentence ladies listen up i love my partner but our relationship started in an awful way what

should i do if i can't trust him oh i actually want to find out more about that one that one sounds juicy hold on uh i'll do it later i have a strong relationship with my partner we work together we love each other blah blah blah we were friends when we fell in love but he was in a long-term flawed relationship with a friend oh oh, so, oh, I witnessed him lying for so long, I can't forget this, all right, so he was, he was romantically entangled with her friend, and the person who wrote this had an affair with the guy, and saw the man she was having an affair with lying, and then feels bad about that, you know what I would say, madam, with lying and then feels bad about that. You know what I would say, madam? Maybe you should be alone. You sound like a dreadful person. I can't believe, what? You cheated, you elicited

cheating from your friend's partner and now you're judging him for having been involved in it. I mean, the common thread here is you all right i mean not only are you doing bad things right having an affair you're also making a big song and dance about it complaining that he had an affair which you did too i assume you weren't truthful the woman you were cheating on from with you know i'm saying i assume your friend wasn't you weren't going to your friend and saying i'm having sex with your boyfriend. So, I mean, you just straighten yourself out. Maybe don't have a partner.

I hate the use of the word partner. They always use the word partner in these things. Madam, be alone. Have sex with nobody. Think about yourself. Try and straighten yourself out. All right. I'm attracted to women of a different type than my partner. This is the next one. What should I do? I'm attracted to women

of a different type than my partner. What should I do? Well, break up. If you're not married, break up. If you are married, make it work. There we go. Next one. Sometimes I feel bad I don't have a relationship with my parents. Should I get back in touch and try again? Maybe yes, maybe no. There's a huge difference between my partner's financial situation and mine. How can this be bridged? Well, again, the problem here is partner. The problem here is not the financial situation is being different. You're allowed to get together with someone who's rich or someone who's poor. But partner, partner if you're living if you have a relationship get married if you're married have one bank account if not they don't owe you anything

how's that if it's just you've been on a couple dates then yes um that person does not have an obligation to give you all their money. If you have a life together, your finances should be combined. You should be one flesh, one body, one mind, one bank account. So it can't be bridged. You can't bridge it. You're either one entity or you're two entities. How you like that? Next one. Man, this is easy. I think I might like a guy, but I'm still in high school. I want to date him, but should I just wait? How old is he? Is'm still in high school i want to date him but should i just wait how old is he is he out of high school is he in high school why don't you include that post-divorce also no i would say uh i understand man it's just i would i would say no i would say almost nothing good can come out of dating in high school um no one ends up with the person they date in high school.

And if they do, gross and weird. Post-divorce, I'm isolating myself at home alone. How do I get out of this funk? Go back to your husband. Next one. My father becomes passive-aggressive at Christmas. How can we make it better? Toughen up.

It's Christmas time. All right? Get it together. He's allowed to be passive-aggressive. He's had a hard year too. It's probably the only way he lets out a little bit of steam. Next one. My daughter is five. Am I letting her down by not pushing her towards a future career? Depends if she has any serious talents. If she's very gifted, yes, you're letting her down. If she's not seriously gifted, you're doing her a great service by not pushing her too hard. Next one. Man, I gave up drinking five years ago. How should I deal with my father-in-law presenting me with wine each Christmas? Say thank you. Get on the piss. Next

one. My parents and in-laws, that said, I'm off the piss for Lent. But if it's Christmas time. If it's Christmas time and you're not drinking, shame on you. Next one. My parents and in-laws. We feast when the church feasts. We fast when the church fasts. My parents and in-laws are making inappropriate comments about my baby.

Should I let them go? Hold on. What are the comments here? Hold on. Parents are making inappropriate comments about the baby. They comment a lot about her being chubby and having small lips. let them go well hold on what is the what are the comments here hold on parents of the women in the baby they comment a lot about her being chubby and having small lips praising her for having white skin and making other fat shaming racist and quite inappropriate remarks my parents are constantly saying that she's extremely smart and are super focused on her intellect and my

mother-in-law is focused on her looks i find both types of comments inappropriate as it puts unnecessary expectations on my baby. I'll sort this out for you real easy. That baby doesn't know about these expectations. That's not going to be a problem for months. Maybe do a little more work on the relationship with your parents rather than complaining that they're giving your baby self-esteem issues.

Move on. I mean, obviously it's annoying. Obviously it's really annoying and parents do do that. And sometimes I mean, obviously it's annoying. Obviously it's really annoying and parents do do that. And sometimes I go, oh, you're so skinny with my kid. And my wife will give me a look like, what are you doing? Why are you saying that? We're not giving them the same body image issues that we have. So yeah, just have a normal conversation.

Just say, well, here's the other one. Why are you getting angry with one of the parents about saying how smart the baby is make your peace with that you've got let them praise something if they're not allowed to praise the child's looks let them praise their intelligence or i mean let them at least let a grandparent say something like they're just trying to say something nice about the baby all right they're you're not in the inner sanctum, the inner, inner sanctum, if you're a grandparent, very often, and there's a lot of love there that's not matched by the structures of society, so just, man, get over it, you have the main relationship with your child, whether or not they have issues basically comes down to you, not the grandparent, let the grand,

I would just say, let the grandparents say the thing. Or have a conversation with them about it. I mean, either way, you're probably okay. Like, if you're uncomfortable and you have a good relationship with the grandparents, have a conversation with them about it, and they will have to change. If they won't change, that means you don't have as good a relationship with that person, or they have dementia, but probably that you don't have as good a relationship with your person, and they're not going to have as big a relationship with your kid, and then that's not going to be as big a problem, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, my sister is getting

opportunities, I feel missed, how do I grieve my past, but support her, stop being such a mopey person, mopey person, different people have different opportunities, different people have different abilities, don't get hung up on your sister having, well, well, let's see what the opportunities were, man, these clickbait headlines, so what was the opportunity, my sister's a few weeks away from finishing her PhD, okay, we've always been very close, however, she's beginning to apply for early career researcher roles at various universities. Very wonderful. I finished a PhD around five years

ago and went straight into a non-academic job that I didn't like. I'm the oldest child in my family and I felt a lot of pressure, pressure from my mother in particular, to stay in the same town with a regular income in order to support my younger siblings going through uni. Sorry. A non-academic job that I do not like.

Oh, mummy sent me down the academia mine to use my PhD to support my young children. You're not a coal miner. I don't care about your problem. Man, that is actually, it's coming back to that a lot. Maybe that's why I don't do an advice column. It my gut impulse is to say I don't care about your problem. And that doesn't make people feel seen. Spent 12 years coddled at university. And then your mum asks you to get a proper job. My heart bleeds for you.

Let's go to the next one. My recently widowed sister wants me to confront her husband's unfaithful past. What to do? Oh, a jewel say um uh my sister 63 was with her husband 67 since she was 16 they got married in their 20s as sometimes happens to widowers widowers she's now questioning their relationship he was unfaithful several times but she chose to stay one of his possible indiscretions was with a childhood friend of mine with whom I've had sporadic contact over the years. Recently, the friend contacted me out of the blue to have dinner together. We actually don't know what happened. That was in the 80s.

My sister wants details of the affair. Put it to bed. He's dead. Madam, he's dead. I want you to feel seen. Infidelity must have been very difficult on you, but you chose to forgive him. You chose to move on. You knew that he had failed you and that he had desecrated your marriage. Move on. He's dead.

He's dead. You're not going to feel like he's less dead or that you don't care as much about him being dead if you found out he was having sex with someone else. I mean, I assume that's what that is, trying to find out bad things about a person who's died and you feel sad so that you don't miss them as much. Is that unfair for me to put that on you, madam? Possibly. Move on, he's dead. Next one.

When I realized I was gay, I was homophobic to a classmate should i apologize 25 years on yes and no my drive to improve others makes me a never pleased figure is there a way out no i put other people's needs before my own why do i do things I don't want to do? You're anxious and unhappy and you're making other people unhappy as well. My husband persuaded me to swing. I'm desperate to do it again. He's not. What should I do? Stop swinging. He was wrong to persuade you to swing. You were wrong to enjoy it. Put it behind you behind you try and forget my friend is struggling to assert herself with her family should i say something no mind your own business my husband wants to separate but i don't can i save this marriage you may have to virtuously struggle on

alone uh if you know you can wait you can try might take 20 30 years it's going to be very difficult i'm so sorry I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Should I validate my teen daughter's concerns or support their father as co-parent? Again, there's not enough in there for me to... They have a difficult relationship with their dad, their stepmom and their stepbrother. Oh, so do you split up the family properly or do you try and make it work? Well, here we go.

The problems can generally be distilled at their most basic to the dad and the step-mom being quite dysregulated, confrontational, and reactive. I feel like I'm doing the right thing by giving them a space to talk and vent. However, I know this also means I'm not presenting a united front with my co-parent, which research shows can be damaging for children, am I doing the best thing for them, no, no, I think just from the way that's written, I would say no, you're not, that's just, that's my take, you're, you're gossiping with them to attack, I mean, you're taking, I think you're gossiping with them to attack i mean you're taking your i think you're you're obviously taking pleasure in your children bad mouthing their father and it supports the things you don't like about him as well and um you're asking if you have permission to feel those good feelings and i i don't uh you know if he's being abusive fine but why are you talking him down they long term

here's the other thing short term they'll want to talk him down long term they'll be upset that you talked him down that's their dad my teenage daughter has put on a lot of weight can we encourage her to take control uh you should take control for her change the food that's in the house and take her exercising go for a walk go for a nice walk with your daughter i find find my mother-in-law completely, man, how old is this, 27, I could do this podcast for ages, I find my mother-in-law, I mean, I'll just, look, I'll probably, I'll take a little break here to see if I, look at that, all right, I'll check my email, that's fine, see if anybody has written to me, no, I'll go and have cigarettes and some coffee in a little bit, but man, let's power on with at least another few of these. I find my mother-in-law completely infuriating.

She isn't a bad person. What should I do? Get over yourself. My friend's fixation on her gluten intolerance puts people off. Should I let her know? She probably does know, and she's doing it on purpose to seem uh uh special so yeah you should attack her mercilessly for her gluten intolerance what are you nuts she can't eat gluten i'd be pretty fixated on that too man that's complicated i mean i don't really i know some people who can't eat gluten um yeah if you look if you have a thing that you can't eat, basically you should never talk about it and find ways around anyone ever talking about it. When I wasn't drinking last night,

I had to have several conversations about why I wasn't drinking, which involved talking about Lent, which involved talking about God. And I'm sure that was like one of the points of doing Lent is to live your faith more openly. But it wasn't a night about me to go there and try and evangelize from my own experience. Like I was not the center of attention. And then I just have to have conversation after conversation going, I believe in God.

And that's why I'm not drinking. So, yeah, if you're, but that's one small example. That's, I mean, yeah, if you're a vegetarian that's one small example. That's, I mean... Yeah, if you're a vegetarian... I remember I was a vegetarian for years. That's probably a better... That's probably a better parallel. I actually did have several fruitful conversations

about why I wasn't drinking and the nature of Lent and then other people spoke about their faith and it was beautiful. It was actually really nice and I don't resent it at all and I don't know why I said all of that. Vegetarianism, however... I was a vegetarian from like... I don't know, I was like 8, 20.

And yeah, you just want to get through it without having an interaction. And that's even worse because vegetarianism is a choice. I mean, gluten, you can't help being gluten intolerant. Maybe your mum could have exposed you to gluten earlier as a child and rescued you from it, and that was wrong that she didn't do that. Or your dad. Maybe your dad should have been involved. Maybe I should be exposing my children to gluten.

But she's fixated on it? Yeah, if she's fixated on it like a personality type, that's sick and wrong, and you should cut her out and not be her friend anymore. My daughter... It's not true. My daughter... Man! Okay, no, I should stop this.

I'm... My daughter drives too close to vehicles in front how do i tell her this behavior is dangerous you look her in the eye and you say stop driving that close to vehicles in the front and if she doesn't listen you refuse to get in the car with her next last year i began an affair his marriage is over now but how can i survive his separation you're a bad person you shouldn't have done that i really don't i won't say you're a bad person we're all beautiful people but um how can i survive his separation how are you going to make that about you madam presumably madam i presume these have all been written by women i'm i've broken again i'm not listening i again. I'm not helping people

feel seen. All right. I'm sure that's really hard on you that the marriage you broke up is now taking a toll on the man you were luring into adultery. That must be so difficult on you that he's now having a hard emotional time from his marriage that you broke up so stay strong sister kia kaha harlot next one i really don't know where i want to end up how do i figure out what i want to do no it's what a blessing to not know what you want to do and to just be a person people who think they know what they want to do have been tricked. Enjoy not knowing what you want to do. That is a more pure and decent state of being. Careers are for horses. Never forget that. I feel too excited to sleep and too exhausted to wake up. How can I fix this cycle? Get a nighttime job. I want to distance myself from a friend due to

her relationship. Am I wrong? No. You are allowed to distance myself from a friend due to her relationship am i wrong no you're allowed to distance yourself from any friend that's probably a nice one that's probably a nice one to to leave it on because i was able to make that person man i'm not gonna man never again i'm never doing advice again i hated that i feel judgmental i feel haughty taughty i don't actually have any of the answers that could help any of these people. Ladies, don't send in. If the end result is that I don't have any women listening to the podcast, fine. I'll just do what the boys like.

Ladies, please don't send me your advice. I don't want them. I actually feel very tired after having done that and sad. I'm like, there's a lot. I don't like it when friends write to me with their problems. Why would I want strangers to write to me? And then what kind of sick person would take pleasure in dealing with other people? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. I feel gross.

That's been a terrible start to the morning. Well, it was an experiment and it didn't work out. Maybe I'll find some other way to get ladies to listen to the podcast. I have no idea. I think maybe it wouldn't be. Maybe it wouldn't be. I mean, it wouldn't be pimping to get two women to do a podcast and to take their money. If I could do something for them you know

organize the equipment it's so easy to organize the equipment though it's so easy to organize the equipment and to upload it anyone who tells you that they need to do a service to get the podcast up is lying spend one day googling and you can do it. But maybe women don't want to do that. Maybe they want someone to help them and to be a paternal figure. Well, we'll think about it. We'll think about it. We will think about it. Yes.

Yes. Women. Mysterious women. Women. Women. Well, it would be maybe easier if my, I mean, here's the other thing, I am a family man, here's the one other thing I could do that I'm not going to do, is that, like, a huge amount of my time is occupied with my family and with my wife, and I don't include that on the podcast because i keep my private life relatively private that is just like a hard wall and frankly like we're traveling around i could turn us into like family travel vloggers and i could show my soft sensitive side

but i think it's soft sensitive side you sound like a snake when you say that with all those s's because you are because it's repulsive to monetize your children and i think i could build up a bigger audience of women if i did more like here's me and my kids stuff ladies would like that soft beautiful but you know who else would like that pedophiles who would be looking at the kids and i don't do that i don't court that audience sorry ladies that is weird that that's the that there is a point where basic women and pedophiles overlap in terms of the family vlogging that's i wonder if those fan bases ever meet up at family vlogging conventions anyway so i'm not i'm not ever going to do that i must find a way to get women i mean that would just be like think of think of all the think of

all those men i could just if all those men had a girl or a woman in their life and they just got one woman in their life to become a listener we would double the size of the podcast immediately i assume actually less than double because i assume that all the women who already listened to it have already got the man in their life I assume that's how they got in women men men and women they're so different like on YouTube it tells me that my audience is like 90 something male and I think that's just because men tend to have youtube accounts and i don't know a woman i don't know many women with like my wife does not have a a youtube account she watches a lot of youtube and the algorithm understands her but she doesn't she doesn't like formalized a youtube account and for some reason that's all men i mean i've never spent any serious time on pinterest hey maybe hey

what if i set up a pinterest well what i mean are women still on pinterest it wouldn't work it wouldn't work just taking what i have now and then putting on a you know putting on tumblr or some female dominated mediuminated medium, it would just be unsuccessful. I need a product that women can rally around. God bless you. God keep you. Get them ran ho. If you have any ideas, ladies, if the lady listeners,

here's what I would ask. I'm going to ask for advice. All right? Ladies who are listening, here's my request. Ladies, what would you like more of? And what do you think other ladies, why aren't you recommending the podcast to other ladies? What could I do that would help you recommend the podcast to other ladies? Let's grow the women that we have. Let's

not go out and find wholesale new women. Let's celebrate the women that we have ah this i like um maybe we could do a profile maybe we could help the ones we already have feel seen if you're a lady who listens to the podcast hit me up on instagram we'll do an interview we'll make you feel seen i'd actually i probably don't i already have one interview with Kieran J Callinan that I never edit because I don't have the time so what I also I'm worried about listening to it back and sounding like an idiot talking to Kieran J Callinan I feel anxious thinking about it because I'm a big pussy I have to do it now I'm not going to have any of my woman listeners on the podcast but if you would write to I just don't I just I'm flailing

I'm flailing sorry this is turning into quite a long episode all I wanted to do was do a short episode of advice and then have some coffee and cigs

I love you I miss you I want you I need you catamaran ho keep it real stay strong kia kaha
