FINALLY managed to listen to all of this. Had to skip my part, can't handle hearing my own voice 🤢, but wow some seeexy voices among us here. Eliza and Evi hellooo 🤭😚 Reagan I feel your pain with the new kids on the block shirt, I had spice girl "platform" trainers when I was in primary school which I loved and they didn't go down well. What psycho kids would tease for either of those am I right?! Xx

2023-06-02 22:16:44 +0000 UTCpee ess: in case you were wondering -- yes, it was a feat dodging the videos where i’m screaming like a banshee and/or singing loudly (and badly) 😭 pee pee ess: if there’s any shaking its surprisingly not from excitement. i had my phone and camera in my hands simultaneously for a good amount of these. the struggle lmaooo

2023-06-01 21:42:24 +0000 UTCthe vocal debuts have arrived and, to no one’s surprise, they all deliver!! listening to all of you is so lovely. so happy to hear you all and your dolphin-smashing cathartic moments. i made sooo many notes and yet whatever i type doesn’t feel enough lmao ★ “songs for the 14 year old girl in me to cry to”. please don’t stoke the “bring-back-the-tower-playlists” fire inside me. you teased it during road-trip love story and here we are again. we need them back! i’d like to compare and contrast our playlists, sir!! 💿 🎶 🎧 ★ tyger saying “although there was a request to answer the dare question….i’m not going to” had me giggling. that statute of limitations is kicking our ass HAHA ★ “charming fuck” is a beautifully concise way to describe you. please shake your friend’s hand for us all 🤝 ★ bear’s diet. one word: YUM. ★ “what’s *our* view on that?” i genuinely gasped. ★ just searched treechurch. it’s gorgeous! such a cute wedding venue. not getting married any time soon, but do they lease? i need the realtors to get involved; i’m trying to be the first and only tenant lmao ★ kelly’s question – hello hi hello hi hello hi hello. (in all seriousness, though, i love your honesty. and to reiterate kelly’s point, gay stuff is always hot! always!) ★ experiencing puberty in a (high-control) religious group? HEARD OF HERRR🗣 ★ matt, your laugh is so beautiful. it’s almost… child-like 🤨 ★ i adore eliza’s fun question. i’ve been looking forward to it since i first listened when she posted the recording. damn, i was kind of hoping you’d choose discussing crypto with the animals. maybe debunk a few of their points? or get their thoughts on the NFT industry exploiting them? lmao ★ “how do these guys exist?” i really wish they wouldn’t🤣 ★ ahh, the butterflies. 🦋🦋🦋 i love when you spoke about them during the homedate; it’s my favorite part. the species you have are stunning. i have a monarch in a glass dome that i originally bought as a gift. i took one look at it and changed gift ideas lmao. it’s one of my favorite things i’ve ever owned (https://ibb.co/bHGGJDW) ★ emily – as someone who routinely isolates/turns inward, i hear you loud and clear! 🫡 ★ jenn — i loveeee your comment on adhd. there’s so many misconceptions about us. i got diagnosed only 2 years ago, so i sympathize completely with learning to have compassion for your past and current self. i’m *still* trying to accept that as much as i sometimes want to, i can’t change the way my brain is wired. i know i’m great the way i am but it’s more of a wishing-i-knew-sooner thing, like you mentioned. ★ evi – you have such a lovely voice! by the way, tom told me to tell you to give him a call when you get a chance. he misses you 👩🏽❤️💋👨🏻 ★ “go to hell” oh my god. an instant hit. “may even your shadow leave you”...genuinely burst out laughing. duckies shall never accept any of our ex-friends’ bread. serves those bitches right 🤣 ★ thanks for answering, lovely! it’s so interesting to hear that music is your sole form of escapism. also, i love your take on art vs. craft! you said kind of what i meant, but with more nuance and a fuck-ton more elegance lmao 🌟 ★ “i’m not talking about fridays…. no, later” you can’t resist! in the words of evi, it’s embedded in the tower consciousness. but heyyyy. i’m not trying to rub salt in the wound, moreso making sure we’re on the same page. it’s a standing invitation; i just don’t want you to forget! as long as i’m around you’ll always have fri-dates.🥹💗 (....my absence the past two fridays is NOT a good example of that, but the point still stands!) ★ sidenote: i can’t believe i didn’t fast forward to my bit. when am i receiving the “most patient person in history” award? probably whenever niamh gets hers 😭 ★ info about the turret — my second gasp of the evening! sad to see her go, but it was definitely appropriate/necessary. she served us well during her time <3 ★ cin, the no-coffee and no-amazon thing still amazes me. i don't utilize both much, but never? you are the most ethical person i know 🤣 ★ niamh, you’re too damn cool! that’s so brave - no joke. as someone with tattoos and a piercing, i teared up during only one of those. hint: it wasn’t the tattoos HAHA ★ “i wanna pound you so hard your head flies off“ there goes that charm rearing its old head 🤣 thanks for this, kiwi!! i’m sure this wasn’t a one-take type of deal, but please go make yourself a cup of tea and shut your brain off. that’s an order lmao. much loveeee 🤍

2023-06-01 21:22:16 +0000 UTCNot quite a review but just some thoughts as I listen: • Lisa's gift kills me every time 🤣 • MATTHEW WE NEED THAT PLAYLIST!! (says me that avoids sad songs because that's the one thing that is guaranteed to make me burst into tears) • Absolutely yes to the sick day audio! We need more! • Also yes to I'm a little blitzed!!! Perfect description of that audio Tyger! • B7æooks definitely save lives (and not usually the self-help ones 😂) • lol the principal pulling you out of class. I can hear the entire class going "ooooooohhh" 🤣 • omg that principal was the real MVP. It's so rare for teachers to value the arts so thats really special. I wonder whether he looks you up every now and then to see how you're going 🤔 • Afternoon naps are pretty much a necessity for me so scooch over I'm commandeering this side of the bed! • If the neighbours hear anything they're probably 110% jealous 😂 • 90%?! Just when I was beginning to think you might actually be a normal human... Now I am suspicious again, there's no way you're real • Omg I've had to convince friends that nice 🐓 so exist 🤣 glad I'm not the only one having those conversations • I cannot find a good photo of me rocking green eyeshadow but I PROMISE YOU it happened • ooft the irl fantasy hit me right in the feels 🥺 I've always thought of myself as desperate for wanting those things, but hearing someone else say it, sounds really sweet (goddamn brain bias). I just love the idea of being able to be completely open with someone because you know they'll never judge you for it • "such a slut for instructions" is such a mood 😂 but I definitely agree that I've learnt so much about myself here that I never thought possible. Before here I just assumed sex was not something I would ever enjoy • If you have to change something about yourself for a partner to stay with you, it's never going to work (Kate, 2023) • PQ, the people with resting bitch face are often the nicest people you'll meet, so that totally makes sense to me! • PQ is talking about Snow Brat for the Fire and Ice audio (yes, very spicy 🔥) • authenticity 100000% maybe it's just me but overconfident people come across as complete wankers to me 😂 • arhhh philosophers 🤢😂 • I want to smash that dolphin figurine 😂 • Matt saying "how do these guys exist" like mate you're the actual enigma here 😂 those guys are everywhere, men like you are the rarity • omg Jenn yes! I wish more people would understand that these things are 'differences' in the brain, not 'problems'. I've been seeking an ADHD diagnosis (currently given up because the cost for a specialist is ridiculous) but yeah the stigma around neurodivergent diagnoses are so outdated • Matt that song is fucking hilarious and deserves to be produced 😂😂 • ahhhh so that's why I'm good at craft and absolutely suck at arts 😂😂😂 • Cin never ordering from Amazon actually so good because that company suuuuuucks!!! • yes Matt should sing more!!! • Cin didn't say it directly but Matt you are a model deal with it 😜 • Cin yes the child question is so true, women really get the full societal pressure around kids • So glad Ferryboat Love Poems is getting the love it deserves 💜

2023-06-01 14:59:18 +0000 UTCWhat a joy to listen to everyone. The AMA evolution has been fascinating in and of itself over the years. Thanks for sharing your stories. I may have smiled numerous times hearing everyone's throwbacks and what made them special. I have 3 to add to the list. The original AMA fantasy audio remains a top 2 favorite. Instead of cheesy pick up lines the statistics are ridiculously on point for disarming and making me laugh. To this day I maintain you moved first though, Matt! The whisper shifts from one ear to the other. Either way I'm pretty sure we both win. Valentine's leftovers...it's the poem. There's something so sweet and vulnerable. And Picking You Up is proof that this shy lady who would literally hide behind you clinging to a fist full of your shirt if ever taken somewhere like a sex club, only needs the right person to bekon the other side of her to emerge.

2023-06-01 11:03:07 +0000 UTCThis experience making my brain hurt like a deep conversation about time travel. I will have more to note after coming back from the quantum realm

2023-06-01 06:34:29 +0000 UTCAhahaha I don't necessarily nit pick things that are petty or unnecessary, but omg this unit has left me with almost no hair from the sheer stress. None of the learning materials match up, so every time I'm trying to work something out, first I have to work out which resource is the correct one, then put it into software I've never used before, with half-arsed instructions, and pray I'm doing it right. Kudos to the teacher because she has spent most of the semester fixing the resources and creating her own mini-lectures to clarify things
Kateastrophy
2023-06-01 05:02:32 +0000 UTCI'm doing end of semester/trimester (whatever my uni does it weird) unit feedback surveys and they always make me think of Matt 😂 I am also roasting the ever loving hell out of my statistics unit. I'm that student that lists everything throughout the semester and keeps receipts 😂
Kateastrophy
2023-06-01 03:36:27 +0000 UTCahhhh, i love this! haven't quite finished listening yet, but i already have so much to say haha. this is so exciting 🌟 p.s.: objection, your honor! the plaintiff knows damn well that my friday standing-invitation is an act of love lmaooo 💗

2023-05-31 18:07:48 +0000 UTCI’m so glad that dolphin was smashed into pieces! I was rooting for it😂 So lovely to listen to this, was looking forward to it all day🩵 (And Matt, thanks, but not keeping warm at all! It’s currently 5 degrees and threatening to snow🙈)

Kateastrophy
2023-05-31 12:08:02 +0000 UTCI loved hearing everyone’s voices and replies- so fun! ♥️ I hate listening to myself talk. Good to know that I come off as arrogant and icy, too. 😉😂 🧊👸🏻 P.S. Matt- you should be getting a long-lost letter in the mail soon, if you haven’t gotten it already. ✉️

2023-05-31 04:55:47 +0000 UTCOh, I'll regret it while I'm at work later today, but it was so worth it to stay awake and listen. Hearing all our stories bundled together again, our accents, our stories.... And Matthew, you were so generous answering so willingly! Thank you so much. That was unique! And again, thank you all for sharing so many personal moments, funny, sad, hilarious or devastating. I loved every single minute. I have laughed out loud and admittedly swallowed with emotions not just once. I so not regret swapping a good nights sleep versus listening to this. And Matthew, thanks again for taking the time, editing, answering and the AMA in general. I hope your recovery is progressing and there are no signs of lingering symptoms. Please take it easy.

2023-05-31 01:56:24 +0000 UTCI’m only about a quarter into but I love this so much so far 😭 You’re all so candid, kind, intelligent, charming, and full of love. Hope you’re getting back to 100 any day now, Matt 💜

2023-05-31 00:54:20 +0000 UTCYou guys in so sorry I’ve been recovering from my surgery and healing up nicely. But I have news that I’ve been waiting to tell you for like two weeks. Again… I am cancer free. This time last year when I was told I was super nervous and unsure but didn’t really celebrate well. Then things took a turn for the worse. But this time around things are more hopeful. My labs are coming back up. I’ve gotten some of my energy back. Things are looking up this year. Thank you all for your support thoughts and prayers. It truly means a lot to me. 💜💜

Angel
2023-05-30 23:25:26 +0000 UTCAhhhhh!!!! Omg Why am I so nervous to listen to this?? And 2 1/2 hours?!?! Amazing! Before I even listen, I have to say thank you, Matt. I recognize this audio isn't something that would work as a cross-post to Reddit or ManyVids. So putting so much of your time into making such a long file that would only appeal to us here is really generous and special. You're wonderful. Ok, I'm going to try and come back after I listen to everything (and not jump to my timestamp).
IndyJane
2023-05-30 23:16:50 +0000 UTCWow 2.5 hours! May take a day or 2 but can’t wait to hear everyone’s voice! Hope you’re feeling better! 💋💜
