"It slapped me... I enjoyed it, though." XD

Was finally able to listen to this cast in its entirety. Thank you guys again for the content, time and effort you guys put out. From Annie "Mae" Oakley s long distance shot , to Othais personal stories of his mother and the care you guys give to your supporters... Keep doing what you're doing. Great job !
I, on the other hand, fully support their decision to keep contemporary US politics out of their show. If you want gun content that talks about politics and 2A, you have many options in both video and print. If you want apolitical content, there are precious few options.
Hi Othias & Mae, Listening in on these prior podcasts as I was ignorant to content here. Great episode - I too am concerned that I'm thinking that Alex Jones is making more sense and isn't as crazy as I previously thought. :-) Having grown up in the 2A respecting SC, I'm in the 2A infringed state of ILLinois now. While I understand your attempt in remaining 2A neutral, I urge you to use the channel to promote 2A. It's too late to be concerned with 2A infringement after the fact. Keep up the great work. DaveN

oh yeah.

So Othais' mum used to take in stray people like Othais takes in stray guinea pigs?
Richard Anderson
Listening to your frustration on bidding on GB is almost as entertaining as Crozier. My strategy is only bidding on things that close when most people are preoccupied or asleep. Closing during the Super Bowel is one of my favorite times.
Eric Sammywaifu
I like the name Bento! (weeb here)

Mae Responding: Thank!
C&Rsenal
Mae Responding: Should set a 10k patron level - photos of Othais lifting his mustache.
Simon Tan
Video hosting channels should do match making for advertisers and not editorials.
Ryan D Thorne
We all appreciate the sacrifices you make for us, Mae.
Alden Skinner
I just went through 3 rounds of 15 minute extensionson with a guy on GB buy last week before winning the auction. Sometimes I almost wish you could say "look, this is how far I'm willing to go" to head off loosing 45 minutes of my life.
Franz Anton Mesmer
Yes, congrats. Does Forbes make C&Rsenal more mainstreamy?
C&Rsenal
nah...

Congrats on the Forbes article!! I can't help but thinking the closing section, "YouTube's free-market is converting/reverting to Television's format, and will cause Talent to wander elsewhere," could prompt folks in bunnies/finance with no interest in guns to think & raise questions to YouTube execs about the perhaps unintended consequences of their business model. Or maybe cause some entrepreneur to think of ways to sustain & monetize an alternative platform, by forecasting how YouTube will atrophy.

To be fair, a drop from 75 to 35 in 24 hours is a bit of a drastic change. From what I've seen when it turns to winter in places like the Midwest it stays cold for the rest of the season. Here in the South we have "cool" winters with surprise random karate chops to the throat of cold.
Phil Hillmann
I felt that the informality and humor of the hand trap episode was perfect and a nice contrast to Primer. You guys deserve to be able to have some fun in your content! Keep up the great work!
Andrey Gardner
I have too much contempt for Google to maintain a Youtube account, so I cannot help you there. I guess I will have to continue supporting you through the PO Box with inspired goodies, paranoid as I am that I have or will screw up the shipping. Now for the real questions, can the diffidence between Mae an Othais’s drives be expressed as a rifle comparison? Perhaps Othais is a Lebel while Mae is a Berthier? And will there be “It’s a Trap" products with the tag line “That thing slapped both my tits?”
GunnerFreeman
I busted a gut driving into work when you were talking about your Mom. Love both these podcasts and the primers
Casey Muzio
Idea little mock gun factory with little rifle parts and an elf gunniepig making firearms for Xmas
Leslie Alexander
uh, now im thinking of the upper lip....
Leslie Alexander
the gun broker secrets cracked me up
Wayne Dygert
Looking forward to wearing my enbloc t-shirt just to see whose eyes light up in recognition
Pete Conneely
Heh, they call you 'Othasis' in the article. Hi, I'm Othasis and this, is a typo.
David Axel Hansen
I'm so very much in your boat about vociferous opinions. I used to have an opinion about things happening this year. And then I have friends pulling so hard in different directions that I'm too burnt out to even care. I've straight-up had to tell folks I work with or customers that I help that they'll have to pay me cash to have a conversation on anything current. 🥴
David Axel Hansen
I do watch everything that you post, *except* the Minutes of Mae, simply because I've already seen most of that? I might just go ahead and play them all some time.
David Axel Hansen
Maybe it's because I'm accustomed to these unscripted podcasts, and my intro to you folks was the joint Q&A with Ian, but I didn't find the informality at all jarring. The scripted-ness is perfect for Primer, but I enjoy the light-heartedness also.
Sabertooth88
Love that you guys are getting some attention from outside media in a positive way! Keep up the great work, I couldn't be happier to give you guys money every month, unlike my other bills...
Karl Abrahamson
I love how the Forbes article is basically the pitch for Utreon.

If you're doing a black powder series, I'm assuming you follow Cap and Ball on Youtube? https://www.youtube.com/c/capandball - World champion black powder marksman and lovely fellow

Vitameatavegamin is from “Lucy does a commercial”, the chocolate conveyer belt is “Job Switching”. Why do I know this stuff off of the top of my head?

Sam Elliot played a recurring character on the last season of Justified. But he had shaved his mustache off and didn’t have time to regrow it. I kept staring at him when he was on screen, and I was like “what the hell is that thing above Sam Elliot’s mouth????” It just wasn’t right.
Gregg Barlow
"not looking in your direction anymore"🤣😁
Thomas Ross
No mention of Crozier... he raised a lot of $
C&Rsenal
Mae Responding: Sweet.
Thomas Ross
You dou have a great personality
C&Rsenal
Mae Responding: I'm perfectly avg looks-wise so great for the plain Jane/relatable angle. Just exceptional in personality and work ethic :P
C&Rsenal
Mae Responding: They left the lewis gun video link in there though, I'm curious.
Gage
Probably because machine guns are flagged as a no-no. I ran into a similar problem in a previous job. For whatever reason, old revolvers don't seem to bother the general public so much. Maybe because so many people have seen cowboy movies...?
Thomas Ross
Mae is not plain...
C&Rsenal
Mae Responding: Side note, I went to grab that link for the forbes article and for some reason they changed the main image from me with the MG08 in the sled mount to that random image of revolvers in terrible condition. No clue why.
Gage
I dont know why anyone is even remotely surprised this channel keeps growing. No matter the obstacles or the pressure. Othais is a good man with a good dream, and he has some of the most outstanding determination any of us have ever seen. Thats why we are all patreons. Thats why we are here. We all support his work.
Gregg Barlow
time for another hour to chill out
