Nah, they're talkin about putting something on the web site to get people to give their email addresses. This is different than the sending out invites thing. Something sinister is afoot. Twisted Evil

The email thing is in podcast 922. Here's a direct quote: Stef: [Just think of it..] "You make this guy (HimSelf) look up emails instead of spending his time writing books and making podcasts.."

Stef goes back also to the image of the FDR listeners who complained that they are living in their mother's basement and have no money for cheesy outerwear. He argues that for those who can't ante up, "living in your mother's basement," well, you can work for the cause--you've got the time--get out there and get the email addresses.

Here, an almost direct quote: " I know that you feel helpless, depressed, vulnerable. I know that! You know what the next thing is--just get out into the world wearing a baseball cap or whatever. You just have to get out into the world."

Sadly, I cannot remember what the email addresses were going to be used for (they are addresses of people whose emails Stef does not have)... and I cannot bear to listen again.... Crying or Very sad

Stef knows so much, it's incredible. and he even knows how to get out of that miserable situation those listeners are in: just promote FDR! the self-serving nature is of course merely coincidental
