Hi gang, long-time listener, first-time caller. In the episode I was just playing, John mentioned LiveJournal, and I was mentally thrown back to the 2000s in rural Nova Scotia when the village where I lived ran on dial-up for way longer than necessary, so LiveJournal was my go-to for internet activity. Not only was it where I shared all my important teenage thoughts (including a coming-out post where I almost certainly had “Listening to: ‘Haunted’ by Evanescence” in the header), but it was where I first dove hard into fandom by joining discussion communities for everything, from Buffy and Charmed, to X-Men: Evolution and Teen Titans. I also did things like write Heroes fanfic and participate in a Danny Phantom RP. This was all stuff I kept to myself, and didn’t share with my siblings or friends at school. I’m wondering if y’all had a similar experience, if there’s anything you engaged with solely in online community, and didn’t share with anyone IRL? And/or did you ever make any online friends in the pre-Twitter times, and are you still in touch with them? (Cue Vlog Candy mention!) Thx so much xoxo

Hey John and Tyler! i found your podcast 2 months ago and binged every episode from the start til now! it’s quickly become my favorite podcast and comfort podcast and one of the things i look forward to the most every week, especially in these uncertain times. i also joined the discord recently. and from previous guestbook writers, i agree, we would love stickers! i’d love stickers to put on my water bottle and kindle! anyways, just wanted to say i love you guys! and tell Provolone i think he’s cute!

Hey guys! I’m here waiting out the snowstorm and I was wondering if you have any favorite snow-related memories?

I just was stopping by to see the pictures from little Tokyo and wanted to say how much I love your website. Big nostalgic vibes. I love you guys and look forward to the podcast every week!

Hi John & Tyler!! It's been awhile since the last time I wrote on the guestbook. Just finished watching the Luigi's Mansion episode, and I love that Tyler found a lot of the sassy Luigi quotes. Just confirming how gay Luigi is, lol. Also since you mentioned MegaMan, have you played Megaman Zero on the gameboy? That game is HARD!! Well, that's all I wanna say for today. Here's for more exciting episodes of the podcast!!

Just finished Luigi ‘sode. John is olderthan Tyler? Shocking if true.

Hi Tyler and John, absolutely obsessed with you two! Just got caught up on the pod, its such a comfort listen. I'm in a new era of my life (turning 30 this year, hi old) and hearing you guys talk about your lives in what feels like such an honest way is really inspiring to me!

Hi John and Tyler! Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy listening to Shut Up [censored] I used to religiously watch Vlog candy back in the day when I recently saw you had a podcast I ran to spotify! You guys are so funny and I enjoy listening to to pod on my long commute to and from work. John, glad to know you are well and still using your creativity and making content! Hearing your voice again is comforting and nostalgic in a way Love ya!

hi I'm another gay who found you by scrolling YouTube shorts. I binged all of your shorts first and am now watching/listening to the full videos. I am "sad gay" because at the age of almost 28, i just ended my first and longest relationship that lasted 6+ years. I still love him, but i just couldn't see myself marrying him. It has been tough dealing with the aftermath of my decision, but your pod has a been a nice escape for me recently. I wanted to ask, what are your guys' experiences with break ups? how have you gotten through them? any tips for me?

Graysexual woman here. I looove hearing you talk about your gay thoughts. Enlighten me. Also. Welcome to the ADHD party. Inattentive to the left and hyperactive to the right

Hey Guys, quick note to say how much my partner and I love listening to your show on the weekends.

hey gays! Just listening to episode 41 and wanted to share some insights from a formerly straight currently "gay" fella. I used to identify as a straight woman, but realized I was trans somewhere along the way. After beginning my medical transition I started to identify more closely with gay men, but my orientation opened up to include more women. Anyway - I have a pussy, but I don't know a lot about what to do with them sexually. But I do know how to work a cock like a pro. I definitely think pleasurable sex with a vulva and the accoutrement requires more of an individual insight. From my limited experience. xoxo pussyboy

Listen Linda, I got a good idea here. You should both do a "What Neopet are you?" quiz. Here's another idea. "Ask a lesbian." Question for two gay podcast hosts: What are your thoughts on Del Taco? You bring up Taco Bell a lot, but Del Taco is inarguably the best fast food tacos of all time.

Hi John and Tyler, First as always please give Provolone head scratch for me. Just listened to your episode mentioning a gay wedding. Off that, how fun would you like your weddings to be if budget wasn’t an option? 🖤 Gay Ghost aka Steven
