Yeah, hopefully the patreon monies will motivate them to finally just start releasing on a regular day of the week, every week.


e: Also, I say "them" but lets not kid ourselves and pretend it's ever not Jonathon who's responsible for delays in new eps.

I remember in an episode (not too terribly long ago, but way before the patreon page) Jonathan said, "We're gonna start uploading more regularly, every Monday" and not once, not once did that end up happening.
And now with a 16-day gap between eps, it's not looking like the patreon donations have done much to improve his work ethic. Oh well

He got so hosed up he let an obvious pedo kidnap a little black kid. There's no way he could look dr hanson in the eye after that, so now he's stone cold sober.

"You like fries?" *smacks the kid*
I think that incident is why Seth dreams of adopting a black grandson.

But Seth mentions in one of the live eps calling Jonathan while piss-drunk riding a merry go round, "I can't do this anymoreee" and that's when he sobered up. As far as I know it was booze he had a problem with, not sure if other substances were involved. Jonathan also mentions, "I knew you during that time of your life and I thought you were gonna die."

Ok, this is driving me absolutely insane. I've downloaded a number of eps (5 or 6 at a time) from the archive site but they simply refuse to sync properly to my iphone. Motherfuck itunes.

If anyone knows what the deal is or if there's anything I can do, I'd appreciate it. Google has been useless unless I want advice from 2011. And if we can we should probably take it to PMs so we don't clog up the thread.

Haha, I tried exactly that during my lunch break. Did nothing. iTunes is getting into my freaking head.

Supposedly I am going to get a USB stick with the first 200 episodes for donating to their Patreon, but their message on August 27th said 'mid-September', and another message on September 25th said the flash drives are still 'coming together', so at this pace I'll actually get it sometime in 2016. Plus, the podcast on iTunes currently only goes back to 275 so there is a significant gap if you want to listen to the entire backlog easily. Love the dudes and I appreciate the hundreds of hours of entertainment I have gotten for free but doesn't really make the delays any less annoying.

We are in the same boat my friend. I donate to the Patreon, I've even ordered a t-shirt since the new merch store went up. I got the shirt but no USB. I thought maybe I ordered it too early so they overlooked me as a USB recipient because that other poster ordered stuff and got theirs along with whatever they ordered. I don't really know at this point I just hope I get it.

I actually left a voicemail about my USB drive. Seth called back yesterday and gave me an email I could send merch questions to and wanted me to touch base with him on the status of my merch.

Considering how neurotic Seth is about punctuality and everything associated with being a competent citizen, it's actually amazing he can even tolerate Jonathan.

He's such a goddamned fuckup. It must be infuriating at times.

They've been friends for so long. I have a friend from high school whose lifestyle is radically different from mine in a way almost similar to Jonathan and Seth. Any time we have like a tiff it usually blows over and we just forget about it.

That's how I feel. I'm still proud to support the show but the way things have been going since the Patreon started have been really disappointing. It really seems like I'm not the only one who feels this way, and if Jonathan's going to take listeners' money but not put more effort into things then that just seems messed up to me.

It's not just the merch issues, really. I don't mean to complain a lot but there's something I've been noticing in the last few months.

In between the LA live show and the Boston one there was a 2 week break, completely understandable since it was 2 big shows on opposite sides of the country. They dropped a 'long-form stories' episode to fill the gap between those shows that some people liked, some didn't. But the point was they made an effort to provide some sort of content so there wouldn't be a huge gap, especially right after the Patreon started. But after the Boston show, there was another 2 week gap, another one between that 'in-studio' episode and the 2 NYC episodes, and yet another one after that.

It just seems like, since the crowdfunding started, there's actually been less consistency than before. I'm not pulling my hair out or anything over episodes of a podcast, and I apologize if it seems like I am. The issue I have here is it just seems like the Patreon has enabled Jonathan to use other people's dough to be even flakier than usual, which is really effed up.

Sorry, I'll shut up now.

About the Patreon thing, I posted a few pages back that I was disappointed in the decline in consistency since the donations started and everyone just told me to take a chill pill. I think that's all anyone is gonna say. The most we could do is to stop pledging, which I'm not gonna do just yet

I donated to Patreon on day 1 and I got my flash drive in the mail earlier this week. Envelope was fine, the flash drive was in a small protective plastic case. My address was hand-written and there was nothing else inside the envelope.

I guess just hold out for a little longer and see if it shows up.

Did you do $20 or $10? I've been Donating since day 1, but I've been doing $10. I know that's one of the tiers that gets the USB, but I'm not sure if the amount I'm giving has affected whether or not I'll ever actually get one.

Listening to this new ep, I don't think Jonathan can hear 'Michael Madsen' without mentioning Tom Sizemore. I remember him saying he would suck Michael Madsen's dick before he shook Tom Sizemore's hands, with gloves.
