An Update On Content Part 2 - 2024

Hello all,

It's me again. Jackson. Just wanted to drop in and update everyone after yesterday's posts. I've read all of the comments and appreciate the overall sentiment and communication from everyone. Just wanted to add an additional content update to keep you all posted. I have already posted it to the Discord and updated the previous post, so this may be old news to some. 

On The Topic Of Bonuses

The news that bonuses would be stopping for the foreseeable future was obviously not going to go over super well. We definitely knew that was going to be a bitter pill to swallow and Kaya and myself empathise with those of you who feel that it sucks that they had to stop. We got to talking some more about it and came up with a solution that won't necessarily replace the bonuses, but will instead hopefully alleviate some of the feelings that many of you may or may not have had upon reading the post yesterday.

The new plan is that we'll be posting a new Bonus Episode each month with just myself and Kaya (Andrew and Charlie are free to join as well, but won't be required to as it makes scheduling far easier). These bonuses will basically be the same in terms of length as the bonuses you've received in the past, but they'll just be with two less hosts. We're thinking about ways to spice these episodes up and offer a unique twist that sets them apart from the show itself. This bonus episode will be exclusive to the Patreon.

So, to sum up this brief change, you'll now be getting 4 Main Episodes, 1 Bonus Kaya and Jackson episode when that starts, 4 Red Thread episodes, 2 Red Thread After Report episodes when that starts, 4 Movie Nights, 2 Criminally Stupid episodes when it returns and a partridge in a pear tree. All either EXCLUSIVE to the patreon, or if not exclusive, EARLY and AD-FREE.

We hope that this news and update makes up for the disappointment from yesterday! Thank you so much to everyone who sent in constructive criticism and genuinely kind and thoughtful supportive messages as well. I really appreciate it! Please feel free to let us know your thoughts below! This will be the last time you'll hear from me on the subject of content updates for a while, though, as we make the above happen!

Thanks,
Jackson

Comments

It's like an extra hour to sit and talk. Why?

Josh Hannah

so.... whatever happened to those promised Jackson and Kaya bonus episodes?

12TrillionIQ

bro its been 4 months since a criminally stupid episode what the fuck

assclown

i mean after like almost 8 years its not really a surprise that it would start falling from once it once was because they get burnt out from doing it every week and i wouldnt be surprised if they stop by the 10 year anniversary maybe even before that but i really do hope jackson and kaya are able to still to support themselves and their family

ItchyAsshole4000

Just because he doesn’t do everything ever online means he doesn’t have shit going on? You’re so short sighted it’s actually shocking

Angel

Bro, he has his own YouTube channel and does his own stuff, Andrew being entitled is like his character lmao, if you hated him so much you should be glad he’s stepping back

XStrawBerryIceX

We lose a bonus, that does suck. But we’re getting like, 3 videos instead of it, and a refreshing new style of vids. Combine the bonus topic in the mainline makes them better.

Cats On My Lawn

Not entirely sure why Andrew has had to pull back from the show, I hope he and his family are doing okay. It's kinda shocking and frankly disappointing to see how many "fans" can so casually character assassinate someone based on an hour or 2 conversation they take part in each week. You know nothing about Andrew or his life or what he wants to do with the career he's built (which is substantially more than what most of you people that are shit talking him will ever amount to). It's one thing to be upset about the recent changes but saying Andrew is entitled or lazy is genuinely laughable to me. Perhaps look internally as to why you are seething in the comments about minor changes to the shows and if you're really that upset, unsub. Your 5 really doesn't entitle you to be an asshole

Deandre

I just don't understand why Andrew is so entitled. You make as much a a doctor for talking on the internet for 2 hours a week, yet you can't put any effort in it? I understand Charlie because I see him doing all those different projects and streaming A LOT but Andrew TO ME seems very lazy and entitled. And whenever he receives any sort of criticism he always looks down upon the people like they are low-life plebians who's opinions are meaningless just because it's a negative response towards him lol

Pattrew Reonfield

However, I do feel bad for Kaya and Jackson. Do Andrew or Charlie not feel bad for putting this huge burden on them? I feel like if they publicly said ANYTHING on this situation it would help Jackson out a lot.

Pattrew Reonfield

I just can't support uninspired and poor quality material. But that won't change the fact that for many years this podcast was incredibly good and I appreciate all the work that was put into it.

Pattrew Reonfield

I have been listening to this show since 2017 and I appreciate the hundreds of hours of content it has given me. Especially the first 200 episodes where everyone put in a lot of energy to make amazing content. However, I think it has come to the point where the show is officially "dead" to me.

Pattrew Reonfield

Sorry zombie but this is huge compium

Pattrew Reonfield

alr bro chill with those numbers LOL. that is completely false

Pattrew Reonfield

Bro fr wtf does Andrew too all he needs to do is talk for 2 hours a day and he makes as much money as a doctor LOL

Pattrew Reonfield

I can sorta blame them. They are adults. They should say SOMETHING. Assume some sort of responsibility.

Pattrew Reonfield

I somewhat understand, just kind of sucks across the board that Charlie and Andrew seem to be stepping back a bit. I love all 4 of you extremely parasocially. I would honestly prefer the bonus episodes over say the red thread and just include wendigoon as a semi replacement for Andrew on them. As I don’t think there’s another show or anything that’s taking Andrew’s time and probably just wants more time either to himself or creatively. The official podcast has always been my home for podcasts, I try others and like them but this was where I started. I’ve subbed on and off since the start based on whether I had the money to continue it. I really hope this doesn’t continue down the route of seeing less of them in the main episodes as well. Regardless I wish you all the best and as long as the content seems worth it going forward I’ll stay subscribed for the most part

XStrawBerryIceX

FOR EVERYONE LOOKING TO DROP YOUR PATREON MEMBERSHIP AFTER THIS BUT WHO DOESN'T WANT TO HAVE TO HEAR ADS: Now that you don't really need to worry about missing bonus content since that seems to be a thing of the past, you can get ad-free episodes without wasting your hard-earned money donating to a multimillionaire like Charlie but also without having to resort to piracy. The simplest method of watching the podcast without ads is to use uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock to watch the YouTube edition. On mobile, use YouTube ReVanced to get the same effect. If you want to listen offline in a manner similar to what you've gotten in this Patreon feed, simply make use of yt-dlp. On Windows, simply install the Windows App Installer and run 'winget install yt-dlp' on the command prompt. Use 'cd' to enter the folder you want to download the episodes to, and run 'yt-dlp -xw --sponsorblock-remove "sponsor" https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL98pDn4e_4NKxUaObW0XaMcMyyEeBxT2l '. I use Linux, so for me I keep this up to date using a cronjob (if you use mac or Linux you should be able to use this method), I believe Windows has an equivalent called schtasks. Basically, using whatever method needed for your OS, you can set it up so that this command is run daily, keeping you up to date as new episodes are released. Good luck! *EDIT:* Forgot to mention, in the cronjob I use, I also add the flag `--dateafter yesterday`. The `-w` flag in the original command ensures that you won't get duplicates or overwrites, but it will attempt to download them all (and then delete the duplicate) if you don't use this flag.

John Smith

You can skip the ads by using SponsorBlock on the YouTube edition. If you want to listen anywhere, you can use yt-dlp, which has SponsorBlock integration, to download it with the ads automatically skipped.

John Smith

Entitlement at its finest. Charlie is a multimillionaire, and Andrew probably makes at least in the high six figures. possibly in the low seven figures. They couldn't care less about Patreon subscribers.

John Smith

That’s how I feel, it’s a show built on fun times, last thing I’d want is telling them to burn themselves out and have no show at all

Max Sigerman

I’ve got a couple suggestions. Firstly, If you made the biweekly Kaya and Jackson episodes longer, like 2 hours, I think most of us would be happy. Secondly, since bonuses are over, you guys should not post the old ones on YouTube like u were planning, so there’s still permanent exclusive content on the patreon

Shadychimp

jackson and kaya bonuses have always been my fav anyway

Dustin Sullivan

We actually don't pay thier bills especially Charlie's hes a millionaire that's why he doesn't care about the podcast anymore

Dylan Ackerman

Real

Charlie

gonna bring up an idea for a gooning show again i really believe in this jackson

lanirus

Do what makes you happy guys. Quality podcast episodes are far better than formulaic bland episodes. (I do wish you guys had more guests)

Casey Frazier

I love all the official boys and agree Jackson has really been the backbone of the show. Will continue to contribute my 5 as long as kaya is here

Thomas Scudder

we paying their bills stfu

bubba

100%

Josh Moore

Man y'all are so entitled lol

Josh Moore

I came for charlie, staying for Jackson and kaya.

Josh Moore

youre right, i think whats different here is that most people are attributing them to the bonuses being stripped away, and that theyre the "other half" that dont want to do the bonuses anymore, which is definitely why theyre getting flack again while the other two are being praised

Ryan

My favorite part of these replies is everyone complaining about how bad Charlie and Andrew have been when it's always been the same. They even did a bit a while back where they calculated the total time everyone spent talking per episode and Charlie and Jackson where in the bottom. Some people are just quiet or don't have much to say on particular topics. There's been many topics where Kaya or Andrew barely say a word, for example, because they have no real input on the topic. I get complaining about the bonus changing, but people here complaining about things that have always been a part of the podcast lmfao. Either way idc, I hate ads. That's why I pay here. Do the bonuses however you guys want. I know some of you are too busy to commit that much time to the podcast, so you do you.

ZombieWolf2508

Well, my sub lapsed and now I know that I won’t need to monitor what’s going on with this podcast. Thanks for the content (when it was just the original pod and its bonuses). Bye!

FencepostErr1r

me too this is actually great news

spookikerii

He’s busy because he spends 8 of the 14 hours of the day jerking off to Judy hopps

Melodic

I've genuinely always wanted a jackson & kaya podcast (that isnt about pedos)

Gascanister

here goes my patreon sub

Bill Skates

i just dont want you guys to do it if you dont want to!!

henrietta

I really appreciate you guys willing to listen to those that left constructive criticism in the last post. I think meeting halfway between the patrons and what you originally planned is a great way to show that you care about those who choose to support you monetarily. Keep up the work and transparent communication!

Avalon

Jackson I hope you know that you're everyone's favourite

Alex K

I know they say everything you do can eventually feel like a “job” over time but I genuinely cannot fathom making like 5-7k a month just sitting around talking to “friends” then start complaining about it somehow. (Not Jackson or Kaya lol)

jadjoker

I didn’t know they weren’t doing guest episodes anymore, that’s a bummer honestly. Kept the episodes fresh at least, even if I wasn’t really familiar with the guests I could still come away from an episode thinking “Well, at least I learned about something different today” rather than just random internet and gaming news.

See U Later

I do hope that Jackson and Kaya are getting a bigger cut of the Patreon money now though, especially Jackson as he’s in every single piece of bonus content. Jackson should be getting the biggest cut, then Kaya, then Charlie (sure, Charlie doesn’t talk a lot, but at least he’s there and does contribute to some extent, though he typically needs to be prompted to. A lot of people do start listening to the podcast solely because of Charlie as well), followed by Wendigoon and Andrew. There’s also editors that need to be taken into account (but man do they need to do better, there’s still some Patreon eps that still have the ads in there despite these episodes supposedly being ad free)

See U Later

Lmao maybe so yeah. I don’t think it’s wrong to want your audience to be distant and to want to have your own private life separate from your content, but it’s ridiculous to think that fair criticism and using your real name (when you’re the one that decided to go by your real name in the first place) is being parasocial.

See U Later

sup w/ partridge

keane berstch

Watch out if he reads this he'll cope by thinking you're being parasocial af and want to be his friend

Loudog

Nah the botching is from people who have been listening since the beginning and notice the genuine lack of care and effort Charlie and Andrew have been putting in.

Ritty6

Agreed. They need to stop making Jackson give all the news.

Ritty6

im thinking that fifth host you guys neglect should appear in one of the new bonuses

Spacedementia

Reasonable compromise

EnigmaticIguana

It really is just speculation from the viewers. I don’t think Charlie or Andrew have come out and said they intend to leave the podcast (although Andrew did have that rant about not liking the podcast anymore on a now deleted episode.) But the speculation does stem from Charlie and Andrew’s constant lack of engagement. Whether it be hardly talking during topics, not having topics to bring up, not being engaged on the Patreon or discord, etc. They tend to show up for the episode, barely talk or engage in the conversations, then leave without any further engagement with the audience like Kaya and Jackson. On top of this, Charlie had a video a year or so ago now where he was talking about how some people just call him the “react guy.” In that video, he said (and I paraphrase here) that he is “more than just a reaction guy or a podcaster. That (he) also does a lot of amazing things like the esports league, backyard wrestling, and making music.” Notice how the podcast was not listed in the “greater things.” Lastly the podcast moved off of Charlie’s main channel and on to its own. Granted that does allow for more freedom for the podcast, but when you look at all this together, it really does seem like Andrew and Charlie are completely over the podcast and are looking for a way out. Hope what I said makes sense. Again, it’s all speculation but that’s kinda where things are at.

Darth Insanius

Charlie doesn't talk anyways so no more Andrew in bonuses??? This is such a win

Loudog

Agreed. As a college student, I can't keep paying for this to get 2 hour long episodes per month with only 2/4 people from the show

Owen Sim

for real. Most of us actually have to work for a living

Blue Alpaca

Thank you guys for being willing to do more bonuses of any kind. I'll be sticking with the patreon now just for those few bonuses with you and Kaya.

Plopins

thank you jackson! its okay we understand that things change and are always evolving. I look forward to the future of the podcast!

drew kinsey

Jackson has been carrying this podcast for a while don’t know where it would be without you

Gabriel Johnson

Jackson singlehandedly holding this podcast together

Prentice

i couldn't fathom getting paid well to shoot the shit with my buddies and bitching about it lol

bubba

jackson and kaya god bless you fellas. i can't justify the other 2. literally the easiest job in the entire world

bubba

Just get a guess for the bonuses

Bix18hd

Andrew’s too busy gooning and screaming at anyone that comes across him

startnine

I'm a fan of the new idea, while I wasn't overly upset either. All I will add, is that I'd be happy to hear the ads without waiting for the YouTube upload. I prefer the ad version.

SupremeToffles

Yeah I think that’s a fair point. The guests can definitely bring perspective on random topics too and they certainly can be interesting. Like I said, I think guests can be interesting, some of my favorite episodes are with Doug and Josh. I wouldn’t mind a guest every once in awhile, but again, just my preference on episodes with just the boys.

Darth Insanius

I would rather my money go directly to you two, rather than split between everyone else for these bonuses

ethan durham

I would rather have quality over quantity! Thanks for the update, i really appreciate the work you guys do. :)

Megan Shaw

It’s a bit disappointing that they can’t at least do one bonus a month, and then we also get a Kaya Jackson bonus. Then we’d at least still be getting two a month

See U Later

I can kinda understand Charlie having a busy life, so he’s got a lot of things he needs to focus on between his management company, e-sports company, The Gentle Men, the streaming, the YT videos, personal life, and probably other things I didn’t mention… But Andrew? What does he have besides his YT channel and this that he can’t commit some time to the podcast. Seems pretty ridiculous.

See U Later

Youre right, at least 50 percent of the podcast becomes mostly about what the other person does, but sometimes it can be interesting, again i think it all comes down to who the guest is, the other 50 percent i feel like the guests do get to pitch in on some topics, and hearing their take can also be interesting, even if it is them just agreeing with whatevers said, but thats just what I think, and im not saying I want guest to appear more frequently, im just bummed that guests are done with indefinitely, because I think eventually there'd be a guest episode that would easily become my favorite, but I 100% get where youre coming from

Ryan

Wow an entire 1/8th of the only reason most of us signed up? Man, don't spoil us too hard! Seriously though, we'd totally get it if Andrew and Charlie actually gave a shit anymore. In the past few months, they've done fuck all when it comes to interesting topics. Most of the time Charlie says two sentences per episode. Andrew is cocky as hell and needs to be right about everything he says or he throws a fit. I genuinely think this may be the start of the death of the podcast. Half of the hosts just don't put any effort in anymore, we barely see any guests anymore, all these new podcasts are coming out, and the little bonus content we get is missing half the cast (Not counting Red Thread) With all the shit that's happened in the last few months I do think this podcast may die in the next year or so. Calling it now, we'll see if I'm right in due time.

Nifty Sock

That sucks, should really be looked over.

Brz12311

It was good while it lasted. Cheers gentlemen

Daniel Evans

I just kinda want Andrew and Charlie to say something about it

Zetlin

Well if course but i mean how the rest of it is split between the boys.

Brz12311

Yeah Andrew must be so busy with his once a month upload schedule on youtube.

Drizz

They have management and editors so I assume they have to give a good bit of it to them.

Lizzie

I would pay separate for a kaya and Jackson podcast honestly - love you both. And really appreciate the effort Jackson! It means a lot that you and kaya listen to your fans

Christina

Love This!

Not_Muchh

Obviously I cannot speak for the boys or all the other audience members, but I personally do not care for guest episodes. The reason being is that it focuses on that specific person and what they do. Sure, there have been some guests that I did enjoy (Josh, Doug, a few of the older ones like PewDiePie and IHE), but for the most part, when they get these guests that I have never in my life heard of nor what they do, I'm just not really bought in at all. It limits the conversation around the guests and what they do as opposed to the boys being able to talk about whatever else is going on or any other topic. I guess it comes down to personal preference - I honestly prefer listening to the boys talk about whatever topic they have brought up/whatever is currently going on. Guests drive the conversation around them which is limiting imo and it's especially boring when I have not interest or knowledge of the guest.

Darth Insanius

I see this as an absolute win

phsiic (sick)

Same

Brz12311

I wonder how the salary is split between the boys. Hopefully its not 25% across the board.

Brz12311

THATS A DAMN GOOD DEAL

Thank you for caring Jackson and Kaya. You guys helped a lot of us through tough times just by providing distraction and entertainment.

Loubang

Hey Jackson just so you are aware you should update the About page to reflect these new changes as to not come off misleading

Zeraphys

As always Jackson and Kaya carrying our regularly scheduled program

April Horn

Its a shame that Charlie and Andrew dont care about the podcast that much anymore

te

you can search doug in the official podcast search bar at the top

Ryan

Saw an earlier comment where you described how you wouldnt do guests anymore because they were bland and repetitive, which really confuses me, because i always thought they did the complete opposite, depending on the guest, and how open they were to talking could make for one of the best episodes, one of the recent ones with Mr. Stark is still up there as one of my favorite episodes, Id like to know a bit more about the decision because that really was a bummer

Ryan

I think Jaya sounds better personally

Richard Wagner

Jackson said in a reply to the previous thread that the patreon money is evenly split between the 4 original hosts.

Jaro Pennanen

I’m perfectly happy just you and Kaya but like it’s been suggested maybe bring a special guest on for each bonus episode.

Greg

When I said I'd like the bonuses to stay I didn't want to just push more work on top of just you and Kaya, that wasn't the intentions here, I just miss the boys shooting the shit laughing and joking on a bonus, I don't understand how everyone feels stretched so thin granted I'm not in those shoes so what the hell would I know, I really just hope for the best, but all thses comments got me worried that Charlie and Andrew barely care anymore and I just hope that's not the case here, cause then it sounds like it will all clbe coming down if thats the case, i mean this was Jackson's idea for the podcast but i dont think he should have to carry it solely or even with the help of Kaya, i dont quite see Charlie and Andrew turning their backs on this at all, yalls comments be making me worry tho fr.

Daniel Carter

Beautiful Jackson, bonus with you and Kaya would be great, maybe get a guest on from time to time! (Wendigoon, Doug, Alex, whoever idk)

Sam Knight

You link your discord to patreon and the invite should get sent automagically

FUCK YES -

Jackson we love u

Kamoto

Jackson you are to good to us. Thank you to you and Kaya for reconsidering the already committed plan, but I just hope this is something you both want to do, and not something you feel obligated to do

Connor Arrington

Your fun is what matter the most! We want hosts that are happy and enjoy their time shooting the shit once a week! Plus, no bonus means potentially more meat for the main show! Also Jackson, you are the most pretty Princess, just letting you know

Matante Kurdent

I really enjoy the "Answering your Questions" bonuses since they had led to some interesting topics and just laid back conversation

DadRockBand

id love more jackson and kaya content. best two hosts for sure

ClayHasLlamas

It needs to be said: Jackson and Kaya have skyrocketed the show time after time. I love all four (five), but lately the quality of content, information and communication has blown up - and I really appreciate the effort, Jackson. The Podcast has a large crowd, but to be able to listen and adapt to our hopes and dreams is a huge treat for all the Patrons, and it is likely the reason why this podcast is so successful length-wise. Once again, thank you Jackson and Kaya for keeping the fire burning! Appreciate you all!

Sondre Hatteland Sørheim

Honestly, Jackson and Kaya content is my favourite anyway. I see this as an absolute win.

Crazy that Andrew and Charlie are the ones that make scheduling hard when you're the one living in Australia getting up at 3am to record.

Thanks guys, we appreciate all your efforts :)

Indgo04

Jackson literally breaks his back for us doing everything he can for this podcast, what a fucking chad THANK YOU

It’s funny cause I’d still rather be a nazi than a pedo. I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, at least it's an ethos.

Western Philosopher

Well I’d take Doug over Andrew or Charlie any day.

Western Philosopher

Just search his name, most episodes with him have his name in the title

Medexter

One step closer to Charlie and Andrew getting booted off the main episodes too. The OP is about to enter its golden era. >:)

Is that for PC or the mobile app? I just did it and it showed me all the podcast episodes (mobile)

Best two hosts in the show no debate about it

Scheduling is the laziest excuse, it’s an hour mid-day, once a week.

startnine

Jackson is the greatest of all time

Bandos Godsword

But some of the criticism is valid, we don’t have to accept whatever product they throw at us or accept the low effort they put in. Charlie mostly only speaks to correct somebody and never changes his opinion, I like the guy but it’s clear he is not into it , Andrew is just kinda Andrew

Cyber Default

I appreciate the effort Jackson and Kaya are doing but this isn’t what I paid for. See ya at the end of the month homies

Guy Last

Here a idea for bonus ones bring on random ppl

Sethisevilone02

jackson and kaya rly carrying the patreon

Cyonated

the probably is literally scheduling, not that it’s effort? wdym

Cyonated

Imagine getting paid to talk for around 9 hours a month and that gets to be too much work… wow

Dustin

Sounds good to me guys! Looking forward to what you have planned.

Twin

I’m sure Charlie is too busy and spread too thin between multiple projects. Andrew truly doesn’t care

Dustin

Hell yeah

Yeetskeeter477

So Charlie and Andrew just don’t give a fuck anymore got it

Kyle

Jackson and Kaya have always been the ones carrying the show on their backs. I appreciate that they are willing to do even more.

Highly agree

Hayden Nininger

Please and thank you

Daniel Ridgway

Get Doug on the bonuses

Daniel Ridgway

that’s interesting i never really thought abt that, why would that be? not like he’s that edgy or anything idk

Joseph Parson

appreciate kaya and jackson understanding frustrations and trying to compensate even though they didn’t want this to happen🙏

Joseph Parson

I love that this has basically become Kaya and Jackson’s baby now they do a lot of the heavy lifting on the back end

SoulReaper644

Andrew runs a pretty successful youtube channel at this point.

Tyler

i’d agree with doug and other one off guests for the bonuses if possible

brugley

Dang Kaya and Jackson are really carrying this brand on their shoulders.

Waits Sharpe

This. The other two contribute far less, hell Wendigoon contributes more to the patreon than they do now

Thoams Wyatt

This is much better than stopping them completely a bunch of patrons are here mainly because of them, Andrew and Charlie could care less with their own YouTube channels but a lot of listeners know that you and Kaya genuinely care and put a lot of effort so I personally don’t mind if it’s just you two you guys are the reason why I still support

Chokes

Shout out Jackson and kaya ffs you mfs got this whole patreon on your shoulders

ZestyDonger

Thank you for the update and all the work y’all put in

Sad Lad

I love the Jackson and Kaya dynamic. More than happy to get a two boys hanging out style podcast bonus. Very cool.

Soren Romano

What y’all could also do is like a monthly QnA or a special Patreon fans join in and talk a little like once a month

potato man64s

Im just hoping that you, Jackson, don't get burn out either. You seem like the glue that holds a lot of these shows together

Moist Amity

Me when I'm in a "devoted to my craft and working hard" competition and my opponent is Jackson

manxie

I've been listening for 5+ years and been a patreon since then as well. To me the news that the bonuses were stopping wasn't too upsetting because I'd rather have quality over quantity and knowing how busy most of the boys are I understand how easy it would be to have burn out. This is my favorite show by far and I'm just glad to have something to look forward to every week. Seeing the benefit of Charlie and Andrew being more energetic in the mainline episodes and having more to talk about would be worth giving up the bonuses in my eyes.

Moist Amity

ngl as funny as that would be I'm starting to think they don't want Doug attached to the brand anymore LMAO but I'd love to see that!

RynPrime

Yall do whatever yall feel comfortable with i personally enjoy any content that is put out and yall already more than deliver for the low price dont feel pressured to do more than you feel comfortable with because then quality across the board suffers just have fun and enjoy what yall are doing

James Herrera

this is honestly a lot better, to be honest at this point I'm here for Jackson and Kaya, I feel as though you two bring the most energy to the shows, and hopefully as time goes you guys can go from once a month to two a month. But for now I'm happy with this change. thank you two for listening and tbh if you two wanted to stray away and make a Jackson and Kaya podcast I'd follow you both. I came for Charlie but I stayed for Jackson and Kaya.

RynPrime

Thanks Jackson

Deathfro

Hopefully the money from Patreon isn’t split equal 4 ways.

Pulp

Do what yall want man yall record a ton of content per month more than worth 5$

Unexpected surprise but that's an awesome update

Hey Jackson, Thanks bro

They had beef?

Eddie

Doug could fit in so easily into the bonus episodes

Dingus

Probably sits around with a thumb up his butt

Roger Cruz

No hate to him, but what does Andrew do? I know Charlie is involved in a lot of stuff that keeps him super busy.

I would love Doug to be part of the bonus episodes

Jonathan Hultink

get me on all the bonuses

moistoze

I have an idea for bonus episodes. If you can get the YouTube channel eligible for memberships can you post the episodes there?

Starsuper64

Great ideas! Love the future of this Official franchise. Seripusly though, Kaya and Jackson is the super-team we didn't know we needed 👍

Roger Horner

Was gonna comment this, I think he still doesn’t have too much going on. Not sure if him and Kaya have beef still though

Curtis Anderson

Get Doug on the bonuses

角柱Galaxy_Pleiades

$5 for all of this is WELL WORTH IT even without the bonuses. It's crazy to me that some people would complain about it. It's a fun opportunity to listen in while you guys expand and explore different ways to keep everyone, including yourselves, entertained! I look forward to all of the extra stuff.

Carrossea

If Doug would be down I would absolutely love to see him on some bonuses here and there, or even just 1. We havent had any Doug action in almost 2 years now. But ofc if hes down, cant force him to come on the podcast.

Dialga236

LETS GOOOO Yall are kings

Walter Medina

Can't wait for the bonuses

Trash_Bread

If that does happen I really hope Jackson and Kaya still make content together, I’d keep my Patreon sub just for them

Matthew davis

Y'all didn't need to do that for the patreon to still be worth it but I'm looking forward to it

Blight

Kaya and Jackson are the glue that keeps the other boys wealthy

Rob

Ty jak soon

Kristopher

You boys are the best thank you for making your patreon the best subcription for the price I own. We appreciate the time and effort you put into all of the shows. Common Jackson and Kaya W

Zeraphys

Bring in doug as a bonus host

Christopher Maassen

Agreed Doug as a third host for the bonuses would be really entertaining.

jake

I love you Jackson. Im excited to see more content from all you boys. Well worth my 5 bones

Martian Manfucker

we miss doug

Sky Kahu

The semi official podcast. Actually looking forward to new bonuses, Kaya and Jackson synergy is unmatched

Toasstt

Jackson carrying the entire brand as usual. ❤️

Hanni

Don't listen to the comments too much, jackson. I saw how upset you got over pedophiles calling you a nazi recently. People comment dumb shit, myself included. I sincerely appreciate you taking our criticisms seriously enough to change your schedule, but I hope none of it is truly bothering you. Also you and kaya have been carrying this show for hundreds of episodes. Anyone who has been around has noticed charlie stopped caring a long time ago, and I really don't know what happened to Andrew. I always liked him and he was one of the only twitch streamers that I watched regularly, but around the time he stopped streaming he also stopped putting effort into the podcast. Either way, I'll always appreciate the effort you and kaya put in and you are the only podcast i know that does these type of updates so thank you

MrPibbAssassin

I truly appreciate the dedication and hard work you put into this show Jackson. Thank you! ❤️

Batman

Awesome! Love the Jackson and Kaya chemistry! Thanks guys for thinking of us!

missmosh

I appreciate all the work you guys do for the content you put out. It's understandable some sacrifices are made as you guys grow but that's life I guess. Its also great you come up with compromises with us, just hope there's no huge burnout in the end

KarbonRanger

We don't know yet what they'll look like! I plan on tackling it and getting an episode out in March! Thanks! -J

The Boys

You aren’t wrong

BusterSwamp

I just wanted to say thank you to Jackson for being the only one to communicate these changes and announcements with the audience. I am not sure if you, the Boys, as a whole have just mutually agreed that Jackson would be the one running the Patreon and making the announcements, but it's still greatly appreciated. Seeing you make these announcements and taking the heat for them while also taking the constructive criticism and being active in the comments means a lot. You put in so much effort to this and I want you to know it does not go unnoticed. Obviously, the show would not have been the same without all of you who work on it, but Jackson really is the face of this show at this point for me due to his efforts and communications with the audience. So again, I want to say thank you to Jackson for being there. On topic of the post, this is a welcome change, I really do look forward to these bonuses with Jackson and Kaya as they are always the ones driving conversation. I am sure these are going to be great.

Darth Insanius

doug as the third host on new bonus’s

mikesmith5

🐐

Rob Delaney

I agree with this but people should be happy with what they got considering you guys are pumping up the content exponentially. Appreciate it your hard work Jackson and definitely yours to Kaya. Wouldn't be here without Charlie though

James Morphy

Love the compromise, thank you guys

Aaronnn

been a patreon for like 5 or so years at this point sense boardwalk burgers era. absolutly excited to hear the red thread after hours news, in love with the show and more of it is great to hear. for sure still worth the money, $5 for what like 12 or so hour long shows a month, worth every penny, and partcipating in the watch alongs is always a blast (you made me watch bigmouth you monster) hope to see andrew and charlie get back into it, but im always here for jackaon and kaya episodes, love every personality on this page. thanks jackson for all your hard work, hopefully you dont overwork, all love <3 (you can not get rid of me as a patreon)

Kolt45mm

The constant bitching on Patreon prolly doesn’t help. It’s pretty clear a lot of these comments are from a young audience and it comes across as whining and moaning. Generally I dig the community cause it’s a great spot to converge and chat about video games, however if even I’m getting annoyed at the whining comments I’d imagine they’re beyond frustrated

Nick Rinehart

This is a great plan, really appreciate the effort guys.

beans

Thanks Jackson. The episodes with just you and Kaya will be great

FlyingScotsman25

Yeahhhhhh let’s goooo !

Devion Trahan

Get Doug on the bonuses every week

BusterSwamp

More Doug please.

Jesb987

i really like bonuses when all 4 of you cover and digest larger topics like the boogie and yandre dev situations bonuses like that make sense in my mind but just having you and kaya on bonuses will always be entertaining. i just hope that you guys dont burn yourselves out, especially you jackson with already having red thread, criminally stupid, and the main show on your plate. glad you guys are doing movie/show watches again and hopefully it’ll feel like a breather being able to relax and talk about shit in the moment :))

Juuls

What are the chances you guys can find another Member to join you guys for the Bonus. As much as I like the idea of Bonuses we're already hard to do with 4, I can't imagine topics will come easy for just 2 While keeping it separate from criminally stupid

CaptianMex1C0

Good idea! Appreciate the effort you are putting into this Jackson.

BananaBill122

Definetly keeping my subscription I really like the communication in these posts. Looking forward to those episodes mentioned.

Jealous Lettuce

Hell yeah, the best hosts

NaughtyDonk

I wish Charlie and Andrew liked us

BusterSwamp

Nice boys! I was bummed out but now I’m exciting for the JK bonus cast!

JakeP_2002

Extremely fair change and a good compromise, this is the kind of leadership we need in today's world #JacksonForPresident

12TrillionIQ

Much better. I'm very glad to hear it. Thanks a lot for reading people's complaints and being willing to find a solution. Really speaks to the dedication of you both.

Joeballsaque

Yippee!

SlowedSiren

This is good news, but it's also bittersweet. It's bitter knowing charlie and Andrew couldn't have made the statement that they don't want to do bonuses anymore themselves and we had to hear it from jackson. Just kinda gives me the ick. But also I can't fault them if they're feeling uninspired or burnt out with the podcast, they're human after all, I just wish they would make a statement themselves. That being said I love kaya and Jackson's dynamic and really look forward to the bonus eps in the future. Thanks jackson for taking the time to keep us all updated and in the loop :)

Julia

How do I get back into the discord

Rasandoval99

Waiting for that inevitable break up when it’s just Kaya and Jackson left. Andrew and Charlie feel they’re too “busy” these days 🙄

Roger Cruz

Also, question about the red threat follow ups, if we have some personal anecdotes or experiences with anything covered (such as being raised in that cult or having "seen" that cryptid), is that the best place to bring that sort of thing up for discussion?

Hazta

Thanks for the update Jackson! Your effort is much appreciated. With the new type of bonus episodes, is it going to be like the Q&A patreon specials you guys have done in the past? Or will it focus on general topics you guys often cover during normal episodes. Just wondering how effective an episode with two people will go without a proper focus, but I'm excited nonetheless!

Sabot

Rebrand to The Official Jackson-cast now, The world needs to know who really keeps this shit all together

Ryan

Appreciate yours and Kaya’s dedication nd effort to keep providing more content on top of the restructuring Criminally Stupid. More Jaya duo is always better!

Dali

Seems more than fair enough for $5 a month

deezbruhs

Appreciate you Jackson!

Hunter Friend

Keep up the good work boys I'll love you guys no matter what 🙏

jace

love the idea of Jackson/Kaya Bonus Episodes as a replacement but also this seems like it’s going to be quite the workload.

marshall

The hard work is much appreciated. Though the old bonuses will be missed, this is a great time to be an OP fan.

Matt

You could make it a bit like the chuckle sandwich where they answer would you rathers, take submissions to react to, reading dumb reddit aita posts and all that. Think you 2 would be a fun dui for that

No mate

I still like the idea you guys had of inviting random ass fans or people in the show to talk for bits at a time. I get why it didn’t come to fruition initially, but another go might not be a bad thing. Either way, I understand why yall are making this decision and hope the show continues to theive

Toothless

Sweet of you to try and work out solutions, I think i can say the majority of us appreciate your personal effort and motivation to keep this thing going.

Hazta

Am looking forward to everything in store. Even though the Bonus Episodes have changed I am still happy with all the things you guys have been doing with the whole Official Brand (Criminally Stupid and the Red Thread which I both love). Great work as always Jackson

Simon Olesen

i miss the things we like corner jingle

Nathanial Green

Swag, that is all.

Liam Hargis

thank you for ur hard work jackson 🫶🏻 dont put too much pressure on yourselves for the bonuses with you and kaya in order to not disappoint us but really looking forward to them regardless!!!!!

molly forster

Can we get pepper parade 3 to kick off the new bonus episodes?

Areo

The bonuses are the main reason I'm a patron but I'll probably keep paying even if they're gone. Jackson is MVP.

Thaddeus Tobin

You Australians sure talk funny. The correct grammar to say all that is "Kaya and I will be streaming 70 hours of our ranked Age of Empires 2 matches every week."

Cornsbread

you guys always working your asses off for us yall are amazing

xMarauderx

Appreciat the updates, guys just don't burn yourself out. Big fan of the show

Carpfu

We got the good ending :)

Nxptvne

I liked the bonus' quite a bit, a nice change of pace since you guys normally talk about big topics in main eps and in bonus' you guys just chill and talk about small topics or games and such

Dr.Genesect

Thanks Jackson ❤️

Jacob G

Saw this coming charlie barley makes it to the main episodes anyway

WOK3

this is great i love listening anything you guys put out together thank you for the dedication you guys have

Corey

Thank you Jackson, but you and Kaya don't feel forced to do this if you don't want to.

Bønnelykke

Ballz

Satan

We love you Jackson and appreciate all you and Kaya do for the Patreon we know it was less your decision and more the two Americans

Bill

marry me

Zachary Hall

Hey, a Kaya and Jackson show sounds pretty hype! Criminal Stupid was pretty good, but just a normal, laid back Official Podcast style show with just the two of y’all sounds fun.

Super Dank Awesome Unikorn Guy

*dies from peak*

spicy cm

Honestly I am perfectly fine with that. I enjoy the bonuses and the jackson + kaya duo grew to be my favorite pairing on the show

Keven Perez

Jackson is carrying the show

xGhost

Jackson and Kaya goated

nick

You trying your best to keep everybody happy does not go unnoticed! Thanks for looking out and I look forward to the episodes with you and Kaya!

GabbytheGreat

Love to hear we get more jackson and kaya

Medexter

Ethan Hansen

You’re awesome Jackson and Kaya

Tyler

We love you Jackson

Tomas Espinoza

Honestly this is great, the Jackson/Kaya duo is always fun so I'm here for it.

Matt

You guys don’t really have to bring the bonuses back if you feel like it’s too much for y’all. Nonetheless, I’m sure all of us appreciate the gesture. Thank you so much ❤️

iamtheboneofmyamvs

YO THIS IS A W. 2 best hosts

Joshua Craig
