For clarity, I wasn’t complaining that you want more paid subscribers. You should totally be paid for your work, which is awesome. Just not possible for me right now.
Just signed up after your call for support. MORE DUMPSTER FIRE EPISODES! I feel like comics have an ebb and flow-sometimes you are trending and sometimes people get upset and you loose them. Maybe we should call it, "developing your core audience". Which I am happy to say I am part of.
I’m pretty sure I’m a “founding member” (if I’m not, send me a link, I can’t figure it out!), but I can’t access your “founding members only” content. Substack is not very old-reader-friendly.
Hi Eve-Alice, I took a look and it appears that you're a Paid Supporter, not a Founding Member. Sorry for any confusion! Here's a link to the different subscription tiers - https://www.phetasy.com/subscribe
Bridget, I apologize for bugging you with technical details. Since this last message I became a founding member, but I still can’t access your last post for such member, and I don’t see anywhere on the substack app where I can address this!
Hey there- I did actually have the same issue when I tried to upgrade to Founding. I went back to my subscriptions and the transaction was voided. It might be because I’m already doing a monthly subscription? I just thought I would throw this out there because I don’t want you to lose potential paid subscribers due to an issue with Substack processing subscriptions. All of this should be taken with a grain of salt as it’s possible my payment method was flagged by my credit card as possible fraudulent activity. Ive got the day off and will dig into it while playing your content on all screens in my house 😉 and let you know at the livestream later.
Whelp, maybe you can scratch that (at least on my account) as it appears your standup is coming through my feed and states founding member and I can view it...
where does locals fit in on this? Is it better for Bridget if I let locals expire and move to Beyond Parody on Phetasy.com? I have been mulling the idea of moving to Founding Member because of the ability to see the stand up sets
Substack has the ability to host podcasts, so we are naturally gravitating most of our content here especially now that they’re doing video too. So yes, unless you are just in love with the community over there I think naturally over the next few years we will migrate here. I know that community means a lot to people so I’m not closing it.
Made the move today. So if you see your locals subscriber number go down its just me moving to Founder level on Phetasy.com. I am a fan of comedy and the ability to see your progression with your sets really appeals to the fan in me.
Hi, Bridget - I listened to your show today and was incredibly bummed to hear you say you were going to quit if potatus won again in Nov. I really hope that neither of those things happen because I don't think I could take it either. I just ponied up and subscribed to support you and what you do. Just so you know, I don't subscribe to anything, ever. I'm a poor who still lives in the communist state of California, so I don't spend money on online content. I don't ever even subscribe to youtube channels, but I did it for you because think you're fucking awesome and I hope that you keep doing this for a long time to come. Hang in there, lil' buckaroo - what you do means a lot and makes a difference to a lot of us out here.
Locals has a podcast player. Is the one on Substack better? I support you on both platforms, but I'm not in love with the Substack app. Locals has its problems, but I love the community aspect there. I'm bummed it's no longer the landing for phetasy.com and isn't being promoted. Oh well. I've heard the latest Locals update is crap, and I'm refusing to update until I hear something good about it. I've emailed them many improvement suggestions over the past 4 years, and maybe one was implemented. I can only imagine how they are to deal with as a creator.
I really appreciate you and others opening the door to men problems. The conversation needs to happen. I can say this relentless anti-male propaganda has results that are not great.
I am a disabled veteran. I am well aware the effect the monoculture's anti-male rhetoric has on them. The biggest issue we have is learning how to be a Muggle again. Normie, however you like.
Telling these men they are a problem just for existing is Satanic. I can't say it contributes to the veteran suicide epidemic. I am certain it does not help. I got a high dose of the cult indoctrination during 4 years of college. I empathize with anyone who has a struggle in their life. My empathy isn't strong enough to make me believe one impossible thing before breakfast.
To be clear, I am not in the toaster bath headspace. Several of my battle brothers sre gone. Lost to disease, addiction, jails, suicide. How many of them were given a little push by the "kill all men" types trumpeting their hate without any real pushback? They are sorry only because it cost them an election. Men are starting to suck tailpipe because a chat bot told them to. As did the entire monoculture, for decades. I wonder where the chat algorithms learned that sort of behavior. It's psychotic.
If the Democrats want my vote back, I expect an apology for telling me, personally, that I am evil. They better mean it, and do better. I cannot help the accident of my birth. Hating on people because of original sin is not ok. There was a whole book about it and everything.
I'm not a sexist, misogynist, whatever. Fuck off with that already. It's boring. Which type of animal, mineral, or vegetable you prefer to rubbing your stinkmeat onto does not concern me. I do not care, at all. It isn't interesting. It doesn't make you interesting. Shave your head and go to a Bhuddist temple to work it out. Away from other people bored by it. I try my best to keep within my only holy oath: to be excellent to everyone. Maybe work on that more than your next big gender reveal?
I have been on the internet since, well... The internet. I have never read anything so prolific and moving as this. Thank you for your service and for what you said and for what you think. You are my hero. I am just one voice who reads an occasional comment. YOUR voice should be shouted.
Bridget! I was a paid subscriber for about six months and I sent a couple emails but never got a reply so I dropped my support. I also never figured out how to get the unedited shows. I am willing to support again though, I enjoy your broadcasts. Help me spend my money with you! Kit in Missouri
How do I find your comedy schedule.? I just happened to come across a post today that you were at Mothership tonight...so frustrated I didn't see this. I've been trying to catch you somewhere (in TX) but cannot find a schedule.
I don't know how I got to this broadcast. I wanted to watch the latest unedited version of Dumpster Fire... You look amazing in blue, for sure. So, however I got here, I am pleased. I subscribed to your platform a few months ago, finally, after two horrific years of financial devastation. If I could, I would send you DOUBLE your yearly fee. I do plan to buy a "Hope" shirt in 2025. I have four rescue pups and that makes me know and love YOU. Thank you for creating this content. I am a DJ and don't get a huge audience so I know EXACTLY what you mean by "labor of love"...
I wish I could be a paid subscriber personally, but I don't have it in me at the moment. I do love what you do though.
I get it!!
For clarity, I wasn’t complaining that you want more paid subscribers. You should totally be paid for your work, which is awesome. Just not possible for me right now.
Great promo video!!

We emailed you, Eve!
Hi Eve we will look into this today and get back to you asap!

thank you Aimee -- I’ll bring this up to the substack team!
Whelp, maybe you can scratch that (at least on my account) as it appears your standup is coming through my feed and states founding member and I can view it...
Thank you Bridget! I don't know who is saying you have a "branding problem" but you don't seem to have.
I frequently vent my frustrations with the current thing (occasionally using humour) in my pieces here.
Better out than in I reckon.
Thanks for everything Bridget. Have been following you for a few years now and you're always a breath of relatable fresh air.
Xx ❤️

I appreciate any tags you come up with too!
Hello Bridget, I heard you on Glens show yesterday, Today I’m in. Should be a hoot.
Welcome!

I will keep doing it, even if Biden wins, I promise.
Potato-us. I really loved that. It SO made my day....
You have podcasts on Locals too. Does it work differently (better?) on Substack?
Better on substack because they have a player.

Ok, I paid you! Stop being so sweaty and desperate.
