Podcaster

Hey, Reddit. I'm Tricia Helfer, actor and Cylon. And soon to be BSG episode analysis podcaster with Marc Bernardin. I've partnered with SYFY so we could chat any and everything science fiction. I'm here to answer your questions, so strap in and fire away! I'll begin answering questions around 1 PM EST/ 10 AM PST.

Edit: Thanks for all your great questions. I have to sign-off now but if you need more BSG, check out the marathon kicking off tonight at 8 PM EST on SYFY.

I haven’t seen this posted on the sub (yet) and I can’t stop thinking about it since I listened to the podcast. The interview’s 45 minutes long so I’m not going to cover the whole thing. There’s one topic in particular that I’m going to summarize:

• She says podcasting made her feel special and like it's “what she’s supposed to do on this planet and share her voice”. After breaking up with Shawn she said she needed to find somebody with “roots” who doesn’t want to be an influencer or be in the podcast world. She wanted to date someone with a “regular job” and they can shine in their own world while she shines in her world

• When she met Jason he wasn’t an influencer, he was a VP at a bank and had a regular job. She said this attracted her to him because he was established in this job and not an influencer. He lost his job because of a sexual story she shared on her podcast (this has been covered previously on the sub). She says “he wasn’t happy at that job so I think it was kind of a blessing in disguise… his family was upset.. It felt like my fault”.

• After he lost his job he moved in with her and “face first dove into the influencer life”. She told him this was “hard for her” because dating an influencer was a “non-negotiable” for her but she was going to “look past it”.

• She said its selfish of her but she “cant be as supportive of a partner if he did this” and she asked him NOT to start a podcast. It was really important to her because podcasting makes her feel special and at the time he said OK. As time went on he realized the opportunity for him and could do a finance podcast. She says she was “hoping she would be chosen” and that he wouldn’t do a podcast “for her”. He told her it wasnt fair of her to “emotionally and financially stunt his growth” and she had a full on panic attack over this because it made her feel like “he chose money over her feelings”

• She says this happened a few times in her relationship with Shawn where she “didnt feel chosen” and that the nail in the coffin was him opening his gym in Nashville. That he didn't love her and was hanging on so she worried Jason was doing the same to her. Says this was an “open wound” for her that Jason was poking…and created resentment and betrayal. She admits that “It's my own shit, but made me feel betrayal”

After the episode I started thinking more about this.. and remembered that Jason did a Trading Secrets episode with Dean Unglert where he shared that he was offered the co-host spot on Bachelor Click Bait and turned it down. The spot eventually went to Grocery Store Joe. He said he was offered $100k/year and some percentage of ad revenue. It clicked for me that based on Kaitlyn’s statements on Almost Adulting, he turned that podcast down because she asked him not to be on a Bachelor podcast that competes with hers. How many other things did he turn down? Was he offered a wine / alcohol brand deal that he had to turn down because it conflicts with Spade and Sparrows? I am honestly shook.

And is all of this what she’s referring to when she cryptically shares “if you only knew” and that she “holds a lot of resentment”? I wonder how Jason and his friends/family feel about this… I would imagine he may harbor resentment that he was held back on career opportunities because he had to decline opportunities or his romantic partner wouldn’t feel “chosen”. I know a lot has been said by KB and by some commentators on this sub that Jason is weaponizing the break up or leaning in on being a victim, but I gained some respect for him knowing that this is the dynamic they had and he could’ve exposed this and detailed how much $$ he turned down “for her” all while she’s chirping away about him and he didn’t.

I was on the road for two years around my album ‘The Mountain Will Fall’ (2016) and follow-up EP ‘The Mountain Has Fallen’ (2017), so I'm taking this time to work on new music, reconnect and answer some questions.

I just released a live album / video performance of the tour called ‘Live In Manchester: The Mountain Has Fallen Tour,’ which is available on vinyl and CD/DVD . I also recently launched a podcast called ‘Find, Share, Rewind’ that you can find all on Apple Podcasts and wherever else you listen.

So, fire away. Ask me anything,

Update (12:50pm PT): Hi everyone, thanks for your questions, sorry I couldn't get to them all...I'm signing off now. I'm going to be in the studio making music the rest of this year, but hope to be back on the road in 2019, stay tuned and see you out there!

Has anyone else’s opinion of IWDominate shifted hugely in a positive direction?

I used to find the guy so insufferable. Could never watch his stream. All the flame reeked of insecurity and it was so cringe to watch.

But.. since he’s been doing talk shows. I fucking love the guy. It’s like he was born for this shit. He’s so knowledgable and knows everything about the games they’re talking about. His chemistry with almost every host and guest is great. His flame is fun, friendly and doesn’t come off as toxic. I still don’t watch his stream but The Crack Down has been so good so far. He’s the only reason I can watch Facecheck too. Not to mention he was by far the best Listen Loco guest. He’s similar enough to Thorin to remind me of him, but different enough to not be a carbon copy. Actual 10/10 podcaster and I hope he does this as much as possible.

Just comes off as a very likeable person too... which is such a contrast from his stream. At least what I saw of it.

It also feels like he’s coming into his own a bit. When he’s branched out into other content before, it feels like he tried to hard to copy others. Cut the western shit was just like League Idubbbz. But now he feels like he’s caught a groove and is his own person.

This is a lot coming from me too, I’m unavoidably extremely critical of the content I watch. The fact that I’m enjoying him is mind blowing to me. I shit on even my favourite content.

Hi, this is Tom Segura and I just released my 4th Netflix special, Ball Hog world-wide today (March 24th). I will be filming my 5th special for the streaming service this fall and it will be completely in Spanish. I’m also the host of several podcasts including, Your Mom’s House which will hit its 10 year anniversary this October. Check out on Netflix and Ask Me Anything!
