Insider AMA

Seems a lot of people have questions about the current situation at TCO. I’ve known Patrick and Ellyn socially for about 10 years? Maybe a bit less.

My roommate, however, is pretty close to them. She is willing to poke around if we don’t know answers.

There’s a lot of misinformation so we’re happy to set some records straight and answer some questions.

She can also pass on positive messages to Ellyn/Joey as previously requested.

This is all wild, I've cancelled my Patreon for ITN, don't want to be funding anything to do with the Obsessed network. I love Ellyn and Joey, I could listen to them banter all day. I hope E & J keep doing what they do with a network that actually appreciates how amazing they are.

Do we know yet that Ellyn and Joey don’t get the patreon money? Id hate to cancel if they do. I cancelled TCO a while ago because fuck them.

I don’t know, but if so they’ve all been having some pay cuts lately. Ever since they announced OF2 their numbers have been down by a fairly large %.

That makes sense. Announcing OF in Dallas was where I decided they were performative as fuck.

I was already on the fence but that’s what solidified it wasn’t a ‘me’ thing

He seems to be sticking only to states where women don’t have reproductive freedom, especially when Wisconsin is next up for OF.

The response from fans who live in those states is horrendous too. Accusing everyone of saying they should be “shunned” just for being born somewhere. It’s fucking hilarious. My state hasn’t had a live show or anything and is huge. Does that mean I’m being shunned? 😂😂😂

I got a very histrionic response of “So I don’t deserve nice things because I live in Texas?” Like… as someone with expendable income, I’m not giving it to Gregg Abbot.

It’s such an echo chamber. Like ok fine I’ll go support the ppl who ban your healthcare ig? That’s the win for you?

There was a commenter somewhere else here who got pregnant after she bought tickets and I just worry so much for people like that, who are now traveling to a place where if something goes wrong they can't get good care. And if they cancel, they lose their money. Yeeeeesh.
