Elijah Schaffer and Sydney Watson, hosts of The Blaze’s You Are Here podcast, responded publicly on Monday to the attacks leveled against them by former gay porn star and current men’s organization leader John “Jack Murphy” Goldman.
A profane comment made by Murphy towards Watson in December, after she read a superchat from a podcast viewer inquiring about Murphy’s self-proclaimed “kinky past,” kickstarted a viral backlash that resulted in Murphy reportedly trying to “destroy” those who he believed had wronged him.
“Things got legal, things got personal, threats were made, things were pushed,” Schaffer said on Monday. “There was unnecessary bringing this company (the Blaze) into it, you know, there was attempts to get us fired from our jobs.”
“And that’s when I think, ‘dude, that’s f**king lame,'” Schaffer continued. “Maybe our greatest crime was being too nice.”

The podcast host said of Murphy, “You come here and you try to publicly ruin our lives for something that we were not a part of, and honestly if you do that to us, it’s like, f**k you for trying to make this something it wasn’t.
“And coming after Sydney and I, coming after my friend, coming after me and tagging – by the way, Glenn Beck’s not our boss, so he works for the same company we do, and yes, we do call him Daddy G.”
Watson later added, “I also don’t think that the large portion of people out there who live action roleplay as men, I don’t think that’s worth respecting.”
