Your Billing Was Just Paused -- Don't Panic

Michael

I hope it involves moving to a new platform with a better comment editor.

Jerboa

Unacceptable.

*anxiously waiting for updates*

Y'all missing the obvious. Jesse's girlfriend fell on him. So sad

After The Announcement, the path forward will be clear, but yes, hold off on the request for now, please. -Jesse

I fucking knew it. First you pulled enough subscribers to attract propositions from platforms and now you are going to go over to Gab for some fucking measly money. Fuck this shit!

JGraves

I’m fine with whatever as long as you don’t join locals.com

Question, I just upgraded to the Permabanned tier in order to score a monthly shoutout. I hadn't requested my shoutout yet because I was waiting for the next billing cycle...so do I need to wait until the billing stuff is resolved, or can I request one now? Thx!

This is becoming the LuLaRich of podcasts! 😂

Nicola Muir

Jeez, guys, I'm on tenterhooks here!

Well... I mean, I did do a survey for Spotify the other day about other things I pay for (only this and Bari Weiss' substack) and told them I'd pay more for their services with extra content. I know my opinion is very important (why else would they ask me for it?)...so, maybe...

Manuel Cayetano

Wait. WTF! Was I paying for this?

I feel triggered. Trigged to spend that money on a fancy coffee. ☕

I sure hope so. Now we patrons can shift from writing here to writing fake help me questions to them.

Allahu AkBAR Pod?

Klondike

...Whaddya mean, "next"? Ya'll don't have the "nuptual" tattoo? You got robes?!?!

Said it all along, it’s a cult like NXIVM or Scientology: they’ve lured us in and made us reliant on them. Next we’ll all be in matching robes and “married” to Jessie and/or Katie with BARPod branded on our arses.

Shut up and take my money!

By jove, what a mystery, the game is truly afoot!

Manuel Fernandez

Alternatively, P. J. and Sruthi are finally going to finish that series on Bon Appetit.

How dare you not take my money. I'll just have to set it alight instead I guess.

George

I demand to pay!

You guys are the best. Helping us find love, offering us work, saving us money. Is there anything BARPOD can’t do?

DrSmart

J+K are swapping with Emmanuel Dzotsi for a month

I demand to be charged more for my convenience.

Spotify gave you $100M.

Clearly they're leaving to go be Slate's new advice columnists.

Has Jew-Z’s rap career taken off to the point that the podcast is now fully paid for? Has Katie’s wish come true and after a woke purge, BAR is now in fact the ONLY podcast left? Is the next episode just 2 hrs of BAR pod personals? Tune in next time to Blocked and Reported Z!

My bet: They're leaving Patreon to go to another platform

You mean Hannah Nikole Jones

I can't believe how invested I am in this. Swettin'.

Nothing to worry about on this front. -Jesse

If you aren't going to buy Spotify could you at least buy Gawker so you can fix that website?

Katie and Jesse will be stepping back from host duties to focus on producing and will be replaced by James Lindsay and Nikole-Hannah Jones.

Bones Malones

Really hoping this doesn't mean y'all found some alternative source of income. B&R is one of those things that's made better by being funded by the listeners since there's no competing motives for you to do your thing. That said, I remain cautiously optimistic about good news!

Generally, when someone says "don't panic," it's a good time to panic. :-)

I really hope BarPod Corp, Inc, LLC, finally pulled the trigger and acquired Spotify.

The Dread Carpet

The lawyers finally caught up to B&R for its acts of dating ad arbitrage. Thank goodness you hadn’t implemented equine confidentials yet.

Nothing is free.

Blocked and Reported/Habibi Bros collab when?

Literally almost died reading this. Y’all are committing literal violence

Xavier Bertolino

Oooooohhhhh…suspense is killing me.

So October is free?
