FANS ONLY!! MATTHEW AND RYAN, DO NOT READ

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Hrm… should I message him on behalf of TOPHAT and tell him that we would rather he sleep and not stress about things than releasing an episode?

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Dang, I really wish I knew how to edit audio. Less because I want to listen to episodes early than because I want Ryan to stop stressing…

[Poulet Frit]

Same.
Message him if you wish. I messaged him an Internet hug from me and “if I speak for everyone, all the FACEs” and told him if he needs anything I’m able to help with, let me know.
If you wanna tell him that it’s OK to take a break and not to stress out over us, do so. It’s up to you. What do you think would be best

[Poulet Frit]

Personally, if I was that stressed and such, I would love messages of positivity and encouragement. If you keep it positive and off the subject of “you haven’t released what even” he would appreciate it.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

I was going to do approximately the same thing, minus the hug.
Goodness, yes. I definitely wouldn’t say that.

[Poulet Frit]

I know you wouldn’t say that, but when someone is as stressed as he is, some things could be perceived as that. Just…idk, try to read it to yourself as if you were on the receiving end before you hit send. (I say this because I’m guilty of speaking without thinking and making things worse and this is more for me to read later when I think about messaging him again)
I Internet hug a lot of people.
Message him! Send him love and encouragement

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Okeydokey.

[Poulet Frit]

I think everyone is in the same mindset as me when I say, I love these guys. They have impacted all of ours lives. Look at this community they have given us. Look at these friendships that they made possible.
I am heartbroken, not because he said he may take a break from it. But because he was on the verge of tears. Because he is so stressed and (frick now I’m on the verge of tears) he’s so stressed and feels like he’s letting us down. I cant…it breaks my heart.
They gave us so much, we need to give some back. Love. Encouragement. Ryan needs it.

[Josiah the Carrot Stick]

Agreed.
