And my full time job would just become giving it away.

Away at a conference today, so here is a throwback to a video I posted on this day in 2024.

There were at least a dozen of you that suggested this title, so here you go! It's now live on all the major platforms.

Remember that my real podcast is Mr. Pick Me & The Manhater, but these are my longform responses and video essays from youtube, but just in audio form.

Honestly, don’t even wait until the first date. This should be done over text. Save everyone some time.

I had a follower DM me and ask if I ever considered posting my longform videos from YouTube as a short podcast so that they could listen to it in their car and...no, I had, in fact, never considered that.

Would that be something you would be interested in? They are usually only about 10-minutes long, but I don't think it would be that much extra work to setup, so I want to know if that is something that would actually be of interest to anyone or if I should just leave it as is.

Followup Question: If I do it, what should I name it?

Reporter: “What’s your position?” Candidate: “How DARE you ask me that?!”

We thought we did…we did not.

How would you rank them?

I’d love to hear yours!

Just a followup from my previous post, I need to be clear that I am not struggling and that was not a cry for help financially. This is my side job, I'm still a tenured professor in "real" life, so the income I make online really just goes to paying off debt and paying for various services for my kids that my health insurance doesn't cover.

I was just explaining that I do ads in order to justify the 20-30 hours a week I spend writing, filming, and editing content. I think my wife might not be quite as supportive of me having the rough equivalent of two full-time jobs if one of them was unpaid.

Facebook (surprisingly) pays the most out of any platform even though Instagram basically pays nothing. I made content for three years and didn't make a cent (I was just far less consistent and would sometimes take weeks off at a time), so the fact that I am making money now just for speaking my mind about things I was already talking about for free is literally a dream come true.

I'm even considering not teaching summer school this year for the very first time in what will be my 20th year as a college professor!
