Good job holding @fyrstikken's feet to the fire.

Hehe, thanks. He was actually trying to convince me not to publish this.

Yes, @georgedonnelly I suggested a peace and love-show instead because this "podcast" was recorded before I apologized to Heidi and the drama was over...

I mean, the content is awesome - but the timing is just so wrong.
You should have published this immediately, but you waited too long :(

We operate on our own schedule, not anyone else's.

I don't understand your sudden change of heart. You were so defiant when we talked and later that same day you're a pussycat. What happened?

His point is that it's over with, and you're late on releasing the news. So now it's reviving something that is already over and done with.

No, @krnel, he's butthurt that he staunchly reconfirmed his anti-Heidi opinion on the show and then only a few hours later he flip-flopped and apologized -- in private, mind you, as in I didn't know about it until the day I published or the day before, not sure (definitely didn't SEE it until he posted the screenshot above).

I'm not sure how anyone expects me to keep up with that velocity and radicality of flip-flop, from "everyone in Australia calls each other cunts" to "Oh I am SO SO sorry" (the second quote is dramatized) in just the space of a few hours. To demand that I release my content on his schedule because he changed his mind is rather egotistical as well. I'm not very sorry about the fact that I don't work for @fyrstikken.

This post is NOT late. This post is not even about drama. This post is about getting to the truth of what happened between @fyrstikken and @heiditravels (truth obviously being a tricky subject for one or both of them). @fyrstikken swore up and down that he was telling us the truth in this recording and thus no apology on his part was required.

And within a few hours, he went and apologized privately to @heiditravels, an aboutface that seems to make him a liar. I can't make sense of it and he refuses to give a direct answer for it when asked.

But to claim that I'm supposed to plumb the depths of @fyrstikken's mind, know he was going to tell me one story, then tell another somewhere else and be butthurt about it and throw the blame on me, well, I've never claimed to be clairvoyant, so it's more than a little ludicrous.

who. gives. a .shit

Tell us what you give a shit about and we'll cover it in our recording session tomorrow.

My fave part of the drama was when someone was trying to shame fyrstikken for saying four letter words to a lady. And IIRC it's the same person who was later saying Steemit was "too namby-pamby"

Which is all really confusing...except:

love your posts and hope to see more advice on your blogs
