Official Patreon Feedback (September 2024)

Hey guys,

Want to get a feedback check for how the show(s) themselves are doing in your minds these last two months (ever since the 400th Episode). We're seeing a lot of positive feedback, and we ourselves feel like the last two months of episodes have been some of our best episodes in recent years and I also feel we've been consistently getting the episodes out early enough for there to be good value there for Patreon members, but generally speaking we wanted to get some thoughts overall about how we're doing so leave whatever thoughts you have below (and if you're not enjoying the shows, for whatever reason, that's totally fine too! Let us know why)!

Bonus episodes will be returning soon for patreon members, starting sometime next week. Currently designing three other series that should start to premiere throughout the end of the year as well. Will keep you all posted.

Thanks for sticking with us over the most recent period of change,
Jackson

Comments

You should do an episode of Red thread with all hosts significant others joining, Kaila was great, Kris is very entertaining, and Jackson’s girlfriend Kaya would be great on red thread

Static_Void01

Will Kaya ever join an episode of Red Thread? Love all the official shows

JakeP_2002

Has it been less now? If so I'll give the newest one a listen. My problem was the laugh factor at these horrible humans say in chats wear off after some time and it gets a little to uncomfortable for my taste to listen to. Again that's me. If everyone else loves it, then forget me.

Scott Bechtel

They used to read articles and chat logs a lot on early podcast episodes

beans

Had me in the first half

beans

I disagree, respectfully. Charlie brought a very different outlook and perspective to certain topics, however, I think Jackson takes on that kind of role as well. There's plenty of arguments that are 2 v 1 (Kaya & Andrew v Jackson) for examples in this and in past episodes, it seemed like Jackson and Charlie were on the same page on a lot of topics.

Jules Collins

Actually, I've only listened to a few of the Criminally Stupid episodes and since the beginning the chat logs have gotten to be a little too much handle for me as well. And it seems like they're slowly seeping into the OP episodes as well. I also look at it like, that's kind of the point of Criminally Stupid anyway though. I can avoid those episodes if I want too.

Jules Collins

Personally, the chat log readings is my favorite part. But, I can definitely understand your take on it. I feel they've read a lot less lot logs recently and added a lot more sharing their thoughts or investigative details. But it's still certainly very chat log heavy.

Ploooperdooper

My only complaint in recent times was not receiving the promised benefits of paying for Patreon. But that's been more than solved as of late. I have one suggestion. And I don't know if Andrew is simply uninterested or if his schedule doesn't allow, etc etc etc. But I'd LOVE to see him get his own new show or at the very least appear as an occasional guest on the existing shows. And my wishlist item would be Charlie appearing as guest once on the main card. His send off felt lackluster. Would be cool to get a proper clip show, reminiscent send off of a main host from the very very beginning

Ploooperdooper

While I'll agree that he was getting dull (not him as a person, just in the podcast) and it felt like he didn't want to be there at a certain point, he did always bring a nice perspective and voice of reason to the table. The guys these days will sometimes take weird opinions and just kinda run with them unchecked. Even though he was past his prime (in terms of the podcast specifically)... he was always there to lasso the guys in. He's a smart dude. That's not to say the others aren't (they are) but I think he kinda comes from a much different place psychologically, and that perspective hasn't been replaced, it's just completely void now.

Roman Achille

I feel like red thread is a little... distracted these days. I'm not throwing accusations out but as of recent I feel like the show takes itself a lot less seriously and struggles to get through the topic at hand. It used to feel like the main point of it was to thoroughly cover a topic with a straight face, with perhaps a side of fun commentary and casual conversation. Now it feels like sort of a self-centered talk show where you're forced to get through a topic before it ends. I'm sorry if this comes off harsh. I really like you guys. I don't have any SUPER specific complaints about the OP, it's still chugging along just fine and I'm always left wishing I could have it on all day every day, though I wish it had more nuance. I think coming to the table with more topics is the solution here, as the episodes have lacked like... energy lately. They've felt sleepy. As for criminally stupid, obviously the range of what can be covered here is pretty slim by default which leads to some samey-ness, but I can't complain too much as it's a very casual podcast anyway, and I think the whole focus of it is shitting on deplorable, unforgivable, or downright stupid people rather than covering a case. So I'm totally fine with it. I genuinely hope this feedback helps even though it's probably too late. And again I'm a supporter here (who genuinely does like all of the podcasts as a whole) not someone just trying to bring you down or talk shit out of hate. :)

Roman Achille

I feel like ever since the Bonus Episodes stopped, there has been a lot less Patreon Exclusive Content. I Personally love the Movie nights you guys made and would love to see more of those.

Qbig

get guests for criminally stupid. alotta youtubers love shitting on pedos.

Lofty

I think the shows have been just as good as ever. My only two constructive criticisms are: 1. A better posting schedule of when episodes drop. I know you are at the will of your editors, but at least for the main show they seem to drop spuractially and no set day (one week it's a Friday, another is Saturday, another is a Wednesday, etc) Just pick a day please. This is for the patreon posting. 2. This is just me, but I stopped listening to Criminally Stupid because the chat logs reading got too much to handle, and seem to take up the whole episode. If it changed, someone can let me know. But I would like it if maybe you only pick the crucial ones to read. If people love it then nevermind, don't listen to me lol. Just my two cents. Thank you for everything and hopes this help. Sorry if it sounded to complainy.

Scott Bechtel

i love you jackson you guys are doing great, and you're super handsome too.

Mallard

Ever since Charlie quit, I've kept very up to date with all releases. I know a lot of people started listening because of Charlie but personally, before ep. 400, the energy he was bringing was quite... dull. It kind of felt like he didn't want to be here and that's okay. The show for me has gotten 10x better and I look forward to having this to listen to at work and share with my husband. He doesn't really enjoy any podcasts but he will listen to this. :)

Jules Collins

Everything has been extra great lately. I wait for every episode of every show to come out, and when I’m notified of a post, I become a happy man. I salute you boys. Also, oompa is a great addition to red thread imo.

Dylan

No idea if I’m just an idiot or not, but would love to see the video version of the podcasts on the patreon

Edpvns

Eh still miss charlie on the red thread the oompaville guy is okay

Uva

Loving everything going on lately Jackson. These episodes have been a big help through a hard time lately and just thanks for keeping up on quality and entertainment. Keep up the great work!

Lizzie

the episodes have been great lately the game shows have been fun and the causal topics are great keep it up 👍

Jealous Lettuce

Going well

SinLeqiUnninni

Rip Charlie, those damn Aussies will pay

THELOLMAN

I don’t think there should be a permanent replacement. The magic of this show is the long friendship the boys have. It would feel out of place to bring in someone who isn’t aware of the inside and long running jokes into the show

Chris’s Secret 3rd Ball

Charlie leaving means nothing to me you guys are still my favorite podcast these past episodes since 400 have been your guys best and funniest please keep it up

Gerrit Ringling

always a big highlight of my week when you guys post

Sam

You should get half assed history as a guest, that man prolly has some funny stuff to say about people, plus he's a fellow aussie

SUUDZzz

Not sure if anyone else mentioned it but someordinarygamers would be such a great 4th and already has good chemistry with you all. And his podcast just ended so maybe?

jake

Need longer episodes on red thread plz 😭 ❤️

Greg

Enjoying everything thoroughly! My only point was going to be that bonuses should come back - but you already addressed that lol. Keep up the good work guys!

Abracadvre

I love all the shows so far and excited to see the future

Murray Malone

Episodes since 400 have felt invigorating, which has made me think is it sustainable? The superhero guessing game was a banger segment - I think occasionally bringing in segments like that to break up the normal conversation will keep things feeling lively

Kiernan Snider

Overall I’ve been enjoying the shows, I don’t do a ton of listening to criminally stupid but I’ve been loving red thread. A 4th would be fun to see but I’d fear it might disrupt the feel that we’ve always gotten from you 3, although some guest episodes would be fun to see from time to time again. My only big gripe of the main show is how some of the recent episodes have had some super visual/video driven segments and I know for me as well as many others only really listen to the show while driving or working which are the 2 times we really can tune in and watch and I’d personally really like if you guys were to keep those segments to a minimum. Very excited for the return of bonus episodes

Ben Kraemer

i’ve been enjoying it recently , and the red thread has been my favorite series so far. almost every show is perfect, but if i were to nitpick i feel like having another 4th on the official podcast would feel whole again. i think wendigoon would be a great fit, but i know he’s doing red thread and has other stuff going on but still keep up the good work i love you all!

Ethan Browning

Love the recent episodes, energy feels through the roof 👍🏽

Jeremiah

I get a joy i haven’t felt since i was a kid when yall post 👍🏼

TreverG

Love the new official podcasts, minus the visual stuff but that's just preference cause I listen to at work. Also Oompa is a supreme choice for co host. Have been listening to every episode since he hopped on. Great job.

Brandon Lee Stogdill

bonuses coming back and more shows sounds awesome, i can’t wait

ClayHasLlamas

Oh fuck yeah the bonuses are coming back!!! Gotta say, without them the patreon rewards are rather lacking, especially that the early access we get is without video. Kinda like preordering a game and getting to beta test it y'know.

Claymeister

I prefer the episodes now over like 350-400 at least

Joey Hurst

More “on the scene” podcasts like the inner sanctum or going to boogies fake cancer meet and greet 😂

Kriebeus13

Criminally stupid is my favorite. Andrew needs his own side show as well

Kriebeus13

Honestly it feels wrong to say but sometimes I forget Charlie was even in the podcast. You three just go off eachother so well and towards the end he felt more like a spectator anyway. As for the other shows, criminally stupid is always entertaining despite YouTube’s opinion and red thread is doing great the our favorite guest Caleb

Squig

Post charlie feels great. He didn’t contribute to much towards the end. I’m still a fan of his but it seems like he was holding both podcast back a bit. Caleb has been a great choice to replace Charlie on the red thread. The official podcast has been great lately feels like there classic convos.

Jakeyjake

This is the only podcast I care to listen too

spottiercamp 818

Season 2 going crazy!!

Ihavenoidea

Charlie's other channel, called, "The Other Channel" does a lot of great irl videos with him and his friends. Surprisingly no appearances from Andrew though.

Foxycon

Whats TOC?

Awwwcrap

These are the only podcasts I constantly listen to on a weekly basis. Really appreciate all the effort that goes in, especially from Jackson, who has put in a ton of work towards expanding the brand and making the shows as enjoyable as possible. Looking forward to the new shows as well!

Brandon Y

To start, I’d like to say thanks for providing so much fantastic content; my “complaints” are really just nit picks. I’d also like to say that this is y’all’s content, and I’m just a guy who likes funny hehe fart Australia joke. First off, I think the official podcast is probably the best it’s been in a while. It was never bad, and sure I miss Charlie’s input sometimes, but y’all seem to really be in stride and happy with what you’re doing. It feels much more organized, but with still enough room to chase tangents and do silly improv. Up next for criminally stupid, I think it too is the best it’s been. The restructure y’all did actually introduced me to the show, and I really like the episodes where y’all dive into the depths that YouTube or online criminals sink to. The TCAP episodes are funny as always, but I think the show really shines with episodes like EDP, or Austin Jones. It’s fantastic, and I’m glad y’all are actually getting sponsors every now and again on it ;) Red Thread is, as always, so good. Oompa had slid in perfectly, and it seems that everything is kinda getting back in the swing of things. My only real complaint is that sometimes y’all dive off into funny haha time when previous episodes were much more central to the subject of the episode. Don’t get me wrong, I love all yalls jokes and tangents, but they also end up running a bit too long sometimes. I understand that changing hosts will always change the dynamic, but I feel that focusing more on the mysteries than haha Australia is the best way to go. The Casey Anthony and Circleville Letters episodes really had me by the balls sometimes, I never knew what bombshell was going to go off next; while on the other hand, respectfully, parts of the most recent episode “the ant hill kids” can feel a bit scatterbrained at times. The jokes don’t feel disrespectful or anything, however, I do think they take a little bit away from the impact that topics like this have sometimes. I still love this show, I listen constantly on the road or at work, I only wish the best for it. Overall, these shows are fantastic; ever since the Official Channel was made, y’all have popped the fuck off. Much love to all of you, and happy birthday to Jackson’s Partner, thanks for making such quality content Also do more cryptid Grab-Bag episodes, they’re so funny :)

Twocan

Everything y'all do is great. Only thing I can ask for is the Chatlog Spectacular #3. Maybe make that into a spin-off series or just include one or two at the end of each Criminally Stupid. Regardless though, you guys are very entertaining and I appreciate all the content y'all push out.

DmanTuck

Boo that’s dumb a.h.

SHXWK

You’re all good and I guess that’s where I’m kind of coming from, I could’ve worded my original comment a bit better. It’s just that they do have a decent sized audience, I personally like learning about stuff, so when they confidently give out wrong information it’s a little eh for me but I still like the guys. Take it easy and have a good one :)

mannequin

Btw no hate just giving my opinion, sorry if it came off hateful

beans

I also wish everyone had decent knowledge on every topic that was good enough to where no misinfo would spread but unfortunately that would just stifle most topics. I'd rather them just be able to talk freely without fear of upsetting expert from topic A,B, and C. I'm in the health field and despite them getting so much wrong with scientific papers to any biological process I don't take it to heart and neither should anyone else.

beans

There's apparently a limit on video for a year ( 100hrs on Patreon) and they have to selectively pick which videos they can upload :/

beans

nah I think you’ve got me wrong I’ve seen over 300 episodes of this podcast I love their chemistry. It would just be nicer if they did even the tiniest bit of freshening up because several people will take what they say at face value. That’s why it’s feedback my friend

mannequin

This isn't an education podcast. It's just three dudes talking. If you take anything these dudes say seriously that's a you issue

beans

My only feedback is you guys are horribly uneducated on topics you tend to present, at least do some googling as you’re talking about things I’m constantly seeing many corrections and straight up complete counters to the info you talk about

mannequin

That's great news. If there's fear over losing subs by switching to a different platform, are you under a contract with Patreon that would prevent you from running both platforms simultaneously? I would even pay a bit more for early videos.

CJ

Genuinely no disrespect to Charlie I watch him everyday still , but I haven’t noticed a huge difference without him it has been pretty much

RayRay

Even with a host leaving, I feel the podcast itself has stayed as strong if not stronger because of there being less hosts, it's alot easier for people to get out more full ideas. That being said I still enjoyed 4 hosts and will miss Charlie, but I feel the J.A.K. format is as good if not better. Hey maybe since we got rid of the weak link maybe...#EatThePeppers #IStandWithKaya #PepperParade3 ?????

monke man

Genuinely my favorite podcasts to listen to are all of the ones under the Official brand. Extremely happy that you guys have continued all of your shows, even with Charlie's departure, always happy to support.

Taylor Morris

JOI episodes would be a nice new thing to include

Bandos Godsword

Love all the new content heaps and how frequent it is! We can really see all the effort that you guys are putting in. Can’t wait for what else is to come 😊

Ace

I love them, they are awesome

quixx

Might wanna listen to episode 100 again...

Awwwcrap

Genuinely feels like the old days of the podcast just hilariously shooting the shit and talking about fun topics

Jackson Werner

I love the longer episodes and also would love a game show!

DazaeminPro Gaming

I honestly love all the content and how speedy it is. Honestly I think Charlie's busy life and schedule kinda was holding the podcast back. (And I mean that in the nicest most constructive way possible) I think the energy has been higher recently and I have been enjoying it just as much IF not a tad more than in the last year or so. I love hearing bonuses are coming back! I'd love to see guests come back a bit more even if they're just some friends or something. And can I just say thank you to Jackson who seriously puts in so much work into this podcast! ❤️ we appreciate you.

Ashley Leonard

or just official porn 🤷‍♀️

paul

we need the official porn review

Jianu Reeves

We want game show

harls

Been awhile Jackson, but I’d like to chime in and say that the post-Charlie era has been really great and I’m proud of you and the team. It’s been a lot of fun as a long time listener and I appreciate it.

Nik

Everything under the official brand is a banger. The official podcast, criminally stupid, and the red thread get me through my work shifts every week.

Slam

The fact its about shitting on pedos makes it the best fym weakest 😭

Anthony

Love the direction the Podcast and things adjacent are headed. I would also like to see more guest episodes on the Official Podcast, even if it's just Oompaville or Wendigoon crossing over every now and again

Caleb P.

Still loving the official brand, only thing I can ask for is more field trips during episodes those are so funny

SweetBaby's_Ray

Since episode 400 the show has definitely been on a fun kick, the game shows are a great addition to the mix. Having Caleb joining in the red thread brings a fun chaotic energy to the show as well. Charlie's departure from the shows was an unexpected turn but you all have managed to maintain a positive vibe and direction for all of the projects under the Official umbrella.

Blackjack

inner sanctuary update please

Bruhdude

Is it possible to post videos for all main episodes on Patreon early? Or is it because it still being edited when it posted here?

Ryan Smith

Could just do what general sam does

MilkMan248

I've been enjoying the show a lot, however I do wish you guys would stop making so many topics centered around watching something or looking at something. It seems like you're not really valuing audio only listeners like you used to. I remember back in the early days you guys would stray away from visual content as much as possible because it wasn't good for an audio podcast. Show is still good, it's just a little annoying when half the episode is you guys watching or looking at something I can't see.

Batman

the episodes definitely feel as good if not better from an audience perspective, I appreciate that you aren't as heavily tapped into the Internet drama as Charlie might have been. The quizzes you have been playing have been fun (I loved Andrew's this most recent episode the most) but I think they might get old soon if you do them every episode. But when they are about something one of you is especially passionate about (like In Andrew's case) it shines through

Tyler .

Also, LOVE red thread and criminally stupid!!!

SaltyBuckets707

Thank you guys for always making awesome content. I enjoy hopping in the discord live. You guys are always funny naturally and bring up entertaining topics. To be honest I don’t think there’s anything you should do different!!

SaltyBuckets707

Honestly keep up the good work yall are killing it . Much love and looking forward to the bonus episodes as well as whatever other series you have planned.

SvG Payne

You guys are putting too much pressure on yourselves. The shows are fantastic, laughs all around. Keep doing what you’re doing. We’ll be here as long as y’all are.

Sometimes I dry swallow pills to remind myself I’m stronger than most people

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥I love it plus the gooning sick more gooning!!!!

lanirus

Genuinely Im having fun with every single show equally, the actual official podcast is still my favorite bc after episode 400 the energy DRASTICALLY changed. Andrew seems more energetic, the fun little game shows are coming back here and there, and generally just much more enjoyable to listen to. Criminally stupid and red thread are both good shows that don’t need any tweeking imo.

Bruce

I'm enjoying podofiles more than the actual podcast now😭

Frankie

I love the recent episodes especially with the new games, the last one was hilarious even if a bit mortifying. So maybe some more forum archives? I also love criminally stupid and would like video on patreon, but i understand that's not possible atm.

Lubas

I’m glad I’m not the only one who has noticed it. I wasn’t a huge Andrew hater by any means, but I did feel there were periods where he would hardly contribute to the episode. The past two months he has really been involved in conversation and has been doing great with adding some fun energy. There’s still things I disagree with him on, but the past two months has still felt fun from him.

Darth Insanius

Return to bonus episodes is a dream come true

Peyton Ouano

Doing great! Charlie leaving actually enhanced the show and you guys have seriously seized the opportunity to take this show into its full potential.

Evan Kittrell

Yess more Doug would be fun

Cumfort

Start the episodes sooner then 8pm I’m in bed by then at least like 5 or something

Devin Buzzard

You guys have been absolutely killing it! Been here since the first episode, came for Charlie but staying for the boys!

Brian Richings

Everything has been great. Much love

Hayden Brown

I've been loving the shows lately, the Official podcast had felt like it has been revitalized. I think it started when Red Tread started but everyone on the Podcast just seems to be having more fun especially since episode 400. Not having Charles was hard to get use to at first but I think you guys have good chemistry without him. I think the only thing I can say I would like to see more from the Official Podcast is more frequent guest episodes even just having more friends of the show on angin would be fun like Wendogoon, Opmpaville, Mr sark, Doug, Ray and James to name a few. Not saying it it has to be a weekly thing just more than once every few months maybe once a month at least. I've liked Red Tread since it came out and I think Oompaville is a good addition to the podcast but I personally still think I liked Charles more sadly. I think he joked around more even when the topics were darker and that kept it more lighthearted. Now without Charlie it feels like everyone wants to be the straight man which makes the more dark topic you guys cover feel darker. That being said can't wait for the next one. Criminally stupid had been a great time since it's started and I think it's the perfect blend of black comedy. I can't wait until they next episode with a non TCAP person on it or another Baited log episode. also having Andrew or Wendigoon on en episode to bash a preatder would be fun. I think this new era is fun and I can wait to see what's next for the show.

SuperJButt

No I am not satisfied, where is the cheetah poster ?

emilio

Best podcast since the collapse of the mongol empire

角柱Galaxy_Pleiades

Ive been loving the new episodes! It's still as great as ever and I appreciate you guys for continuing on making enjoyable episodes!! My only suggestion would be to also put up the video versions on patreon now that you're more reliant on visuals in the episodes, since it feels a little pointless to get the audio a week early but then miss out on what is happening for half of the episode. But i also understand that the video can take a little longer to finish and get out than just the audio.

namedr

What do you mean? He has never left. But they got to tell him to unmute his mic

Quickbeamx

I love you Jackson

Ryan

Hey Jackson, can you get I Hate Everything back on the show?

Owen

i think everything has transitioned very smoothly and everyone seems just as passionate and comfortable as ever. variety of content means there’s always something new going up. keep up the good work boys 💜

Sad Lad

Absolutely love criminally stupid! I’m glad you guys are still making the series even though YouTube has been an ass latley.

Kiks1122

Last few episodes have been great, I miss Charlie but at the end of the day his packed schedule was causing issues for the main/bonus episodes of the main podcast; especially in length of eps. Add this to the fact that he was by far the least interactive in most episodes & I think that his absence for longer eps & more consistent bonuses isn’t too bad of a trade off. Keep up the good work

Tungsten Haze

The episodes have been amazing. It seems like you 3 are putting a lot of time and effort in. Thanks guys.

Indgo04

It's been strange without Charlie, but I'm still loving the episodes. Though it does feel wrong that he didn't finish on 400 and give any sort of closure to fans. I feel like that's never going to be addressed, which sucks. Sure would have left far less questions. But I think Oompa is a great replacement for red thread, he fits in great. OP still feels strong after 7 years, hope you're all still enjoying making it. It's meant a lot to me and many others after all these years. P.S. are we ever going to see Andrew on TOC?

Foxycon

agreed but i think he does just need some time to settle into character a bit there. the last episode i really enjoyed his presence, but def doesnt have the bond that jackson and charlie had

Jordan Smith

Thank you jackson

Deathfro

My request is to start putting the videos up on here. Even if it can't be uploaded as fast as the audio version

Sloth Gahd

Bring back Doug

ethan durham

Wow 3 more?! That's a lot. I feel like your topics are way more interesting as of late, I rarely laugh at content online but I do laugh a lot at your content recently I've noticed. I downloaded patreon for you guys and I've been here for years, I use this app just for this channel. I'm filled with nothing but good words, keep it up guys!

Jimmy111

I second this!

FateOfExile

The only feedback I have for you guys is don't burn yourselves out! Thanks for all your hard work. And thank you Jackson's girlfriend!! Very kind and hardworking for you to help out with all this!

FateOfExile

Yes I feel oompas vibe is still a little weird for red thread but a lot of people seem to dig him

CheeseCake King

Been a fan for years and deciding to become a Patron was a great idea, the shows have been great and I really have been enjoying how all of the current hosts seem engaged and excited about the topics they’re discussing (especially Andrew, always been a big fan of Andrew’s commentary so it’s nice to see him talking more lately), Oompa especially has made Red Thread very enjoyable. My only real critique is that I would like to see more guests (if not a new fourth host ) on the main Podcast, maybe bring back an old fan favorite, or reach out to someone you haven’t worked with yet. The only other Podcast I regularly listen to (and the only other Patreon I support) is General Sam’s Forehead Fables, it’d be neat to see Sam come on, or even if y’all could snag Poob as a guest sometime.

Hekseblad

Everythings great! Still actively listen. No complaints no issues. You guys rock!

Mario Meza

i love criminally stupid

Emmet

Start an Onlyfans

mitchdh89

something that i think is pretty sad but true is that a lot of viewers stopped watching after charlie left. and that is so unfortunate.!!!! nothing against oompaville i like him a lot but i do prefer charlie to him on the red thread. but honestly i dont miss him so much on the official podcast! i watch it for jackson andrew and kaya cus i love those guys and criminally stupid is a great project too cus kaya and jackson have such great chemistry and make the chat logs sooo funny. personal favorite episode is EDP445. so keep going with the content guys!! im not joking when i say i wait with baited breath for every new episode of all three shows

Jordan Smith

Love the other shows bringing on "experts" for short segments on red thread would be cool but I'm sure its not that simple. overall enjoy everything you guys are doing tho listening on all platforms! And the irl segments are fun everyone now and then

Unidentified21

Balders gate playthrough with the boys would be the funniest shit ever

Unidentified21

Diversifying criminally stupid is good. Sometimes the break from deeply detailed pedophilic fantasies is needed. Maybe going over like high speed chases or like failed cover ups or shit like that idk. Maybe that's not enough for an episode but maybe a collection of similar story's. Something to break in between wanting to blow my brains out when listening to the chat logs

Unidentified21

Love the new guest character oompaville on the red thread, but in all seriousness feel like I’m getting my money’s worth no complaints here. Keep up the great work on these amazing shows

DaScylla

Genuinely feel like the shows have become better. And not in a way that’s like the previous episodes before 400 weren’t any good they were also amazing but you guys have clearly stepped your game up. Loosing Charlie obviously meant that you gotta put a tiny bit extra energy into the podcast and it has shown. You guys have been putting out amazing episodes.

Jackson Hite

the to catch a predator format returning for criminally stupid is awesome. by far my favorite podcast. love the to catch a predator chatlog readings and analysis of where the predators are today

Braden Gerow

I have been enjoying all the shows recently. I enjoy it when the shows are more comedic and jovial. Criminally stupid is normally fun making fun of criminals that deserve it. The most recent red thread I didn't really like because it was a more depressing story and didn't have any mystery or conspiracy behind it. Other than that i enjoyed the most recent episodes with Oompaville on. For the Offical podcast I enjoyed recently I just don't like the more visual stuff as I'm an audio listener who listens durning work. I would also like to see more guest episodes like once every few months just to change it up a little. It doesn't have to be anyone specific or famous even if it's just like a friend or discord mod or someone like that just to change up the show a little bit. Other than that I think the show has improved and has more energy recently. For a while it seemed like the hosts didn't enjoy doing the show and were just here out of obligation but now it feels like all of you have been enjoying it more. Keep up the good work. Excited for bonus episodes to come back!

kyvan

Also bring back Doug please

The main episodes these past 2 months have been so enjoyable and filled with a lot more energy that when I go back and listen to older episodes I haven’t listened to it just doesn’t hit the same, as for the 2 other shows those have always been great and very well done. The chemistry between you & Kaya is always great and enjoyable, the same thing with the guys on red thread. Hope it continues like this❤️

Been loving everything that's being put out was a bit sad to see Charlie go with only a message would have been nice for him to announce it at the end of 400 after looking back at all the memories, but other than that 0 complaints you're doing an amazing job keeping everything on track thanks for the hard work Jackson!

Lincoln Dobbie

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?!?!?

Awwwcrap

the missed splice around the pause for the ad break is the editing mistake i was talking about, not the pause itself. a pause itself is necessary for format n shit, missing the splice is a mistake i haven’t seen in the history of the show before this, im sure its happened once or twice but i really can’t recall them missing a splice like that even early on

James Feagin

Read the subtext in their conversations. The clues were always there. All those times Andrew called us “parasocial” for noticing the group’s thinly veiled contempt for one another? Misdirection. They all hate each other.

Western Philosopher

Fuck I love criminally stupid

Zetlin

I’ve been a member sense 2019 and I can say for sure I feel like I’m still getting value out of my 5 bucks. Please keep this going I still think the show is great!

Blake2002

I’m really enjoying Andrew’s seemingly rejuvenated energy. I have a job where I can usually listen to podcasts while I work, but I only have a few shows that I actually enjoy so I end up re-listening through old catalogues every year or two. Started The Official Podcast from the beginning some months ago, in order (including the old pre-post shows), and early era Andrew had an almost manic crazy energy that I loved that naturally faded away over 7 years of doing the same show. And I know about a year ago he expressed feeling a bit tired of it. But since Charlie left, Andrew’s energy has been radically increasing, and I’m loving it.

thatweirdguynoah

You guys have been killing it the last two months. Really my only complaint at this point is the lack of video versions for the early access perk or being a patron, i know it was mentioned that some solution for that might've been in the works so i hope that still happening

Zarmac

Pauses for ad breaks have always been a thing, on and off. I think it depends if they do the add live in-episode or get a sponsor after recording and just record a spot to splice the ad in in post

Micah Cary

Criminally Stupid has become my favorite show from you all. I hope you and Kaya get to cover lolcows on there sometime

Cheesepuff

He was in over a hundred bonus episodes, and there was an instant drastic improvement in the energy of the show once he departed. I like Charlie, but he stopped caring about the show a while before 400. Also if he made a goodbye appearance, everyone would be bitching about how it would’ve brought down the episode.

thatweirdguynoah

mostly positives from me! i’m still at the edge of my seat for the next josh or doug appearance or other continuity stuff like that but the show has improved drastically these last couple months. i used to find myself tuneing out of the show for months at a time and then binging what i miss, but shit has been so entertaining lately i’m waiting for every episode drop and even catching up with criminally stupid and red thread. only positives, i love that each of the shows are growing to have their own little culture and fan base that are different from each other despite sharing the same core audience, really just great stuff all around. the only thing i ask is, just please watch the episodes before they air 😭 ever since 400 there’s been weird shit going on like pausing for ad breaks when none are there with no explanations. i get stuff is going to be rough around the edges, but some of these mistakes would’ve never even happened in the first 10-20 episodes of the show and it’s just jarring as a long time fan yk? watch condom kingdom as my magnum opus 😭🫶🏻 it’s literally a top 10 episode to me now and the quality of the convos and shit lately has been GREAT but the editing mistakes are like, chat are we serious? if that makes any sense. i’m only 18 so take all this bs with a grain of salt, y’all know this show better than me. this is just the best advice i have as a fan haha to end it, i’d like to petition once more for josh pilault to come back on 😭🫶🏻 ik i ask a lot but he’s seriously the best guest yall have ever had imo, like dude is genuinely funny and ive rewatched those episodes more times than jackson watched that one fucking dinosaur movie awhile ago. some random suggestions are Down The Rabit Hole, he had incredible chemistry with the show. RaccoonEggs is a weird one i come back to a lot, you guys had GREAT chemistry and that episode is defintely peak masturbation talk to me. and finally, the Ludwig episode is one i go back to a lot. hope this helped in some way, keep it up boys! always ready to tune into the official minecraft podcast

James Feagin

Whoops, that was a bit long winded. I forgot to mention though. Bringing back Things We Like is awesome. I've even seen some of the WATP fans mentioning how the Jingle has been played a few times. And Ive always liked the corners/games played. It's a way to make the listeners feel involved.

Awwwcrap

main episodes and red thread have been really full of energy and have a lot of structure to them, really fun overall

Aaronnn

7/10 Has a little bit for everyone. In all truthfulness, it has been really good so far. I was curious has to how it would evolve with Charlie's departure, and I don't think youve missed a beat. In fact-maybe its just me-it does feel like your a bit more open on topics you talk about. It did feel like before like there was a bit if holding back. I do like that Andrew seems to be a lot more vocal lately almost like ild episodes. He also seemed like he was more quiet for awhile. Whether you like or dislike Andrew, I personally think its better when hes passionate (dont know if that's the word Im looking for) about a topic, because he brings energy. The only critique I have is what others have said and that there's has been a handful of visual things which may not translate for some listeners. Im usually good at being able to picture it well when described, like Jackson's rugby trip. (Watching that back was pretty much what I pictured). I really enjoy Criminally Stupid just for how well Jackson and Kaya (I find it lame to say, but....) vibe with each other. They have a good dynamic together, and it definitely has shown over the last few years. Only reason I could stand to watch the Halo TV series was because of them. If you can, more watch-alongs hesr and there would be fun. I dont have much ro say about Red Thread unfortunately...I apologize. I mainly listen to episodes where Im familiar with the topic. I liked them though. Hopefully you guys can keep going for awhile longer and enjoy making the content. Fans can definitely tell when the creator starts to loose interest. THANK YOU FOR YOUR GUY'S WORK!

Awwwcrap

I've been really enjoying the content. I came to this podcast off of charlie and drove across the country (22hrs with my best friend) to see him in florida at his apex live event in tampa. To see him leave really disappointed me but I feel like you three have never clicked so well together. IMO Andrew has really stepped up in recent episodes and Kaya and Jackson have always had a aura of "I want this podcast to do well" so I am super happy for you guys. Love from WI

Elijah Tinsley

New member, love the content, I will say I missed the video of the latest Elisa Lam episode. Can you also add video to the early uploads on here? Thanks!

SHXWK

So much better post charlie ngl

leatherhand

Criminally stupid is fantastic, it would be great if that was more often. OP has been great too, love the things we like & the new trivia section. Bonus content (game night, movie night, bonus eps) would make the Patreon more worth it. Maybe even read a few comments/questions from the Patreon like you used to? Keep it up guys

Rhian Fenton

The episodes have been great lately. The little trivia games you guys have been doing are my favorite part of the last few episodes

Jack Paulson

Yea it felt like kind of a slap in the face on top of leaving. 400 episodes is a monumental achievement. Could have at least recognized that and had a solid goodbye episode, but I guess that was too much to ask on charlie's end.

BEEP

I think there's been an energy shift ever since episode 400 that is probably the result of all the hosts actually wanting to be there recording now. I can't say I don't miss the old times, but the future sounds promising too. Feedback wise, I've been sentimental for the guest episodes, feels like it's been awhile since somebody came on. Thanks guys!

Shawn Davis

For the love of god! Please do the Jon Bennet Mystery for Red Thread. (If uv addressed this before im sorry)

kristina

In my opinion y’all would benefit from a 4th host on The Official Podcast or occasional guests, Criminally Stupid is the weakest of the three as it’s primarily focused on pedophiles, true crime is the highlight of The Red Thread, the Things We Like Corner is genuinely a good idea and sparks interesting topics, the quizzes like little game shows are awesome as we get to play along, don’t beat yourselves up about being too “negative” cause at the end of the day we’re all bitching together, more bonus episodes, and lastly don’t forget a large portion of the audience is audio listeners only. That being said I really appreciate all the hard work everyone puts in for these podcasts, I really enjoy them and I know I lot of other people do too. It makes my drive to work bearable it’s like a little teleportation glitch cause I’m immersed into the conversation. Love you guys!

joebossalina

SuperMega posts their podcast video to patreon every week and they’re fine. If you only post the main show in video form you should be okay right?

LordLeo19

I love how the show’s been. I liked the games you guys have integrated so if you could keep going that would be fun. Also keep bringing on interesting guests, I like hearing from content creators of all niches.

Jack Kaniok

I got nothin to say this shit fire bruh

Anthony

I think OP and Criminally Stupid have been peak lately. I wish we could get more Criminally Stupid though. I appreciate the work you and your partner put in, Jackson. Your S/O seems to do a lot of research and it shows.

Devin

I think bonuses will really make my money worth it imo. been a member for years i miss my bonuses lol.

LordLeo19

I think you should start a show all about fitness and health. Call it The Official Bodcast. (Jokes aside, keep up the good work)

Smashman79

Awesome!

crazypata

No thoughts only love

Tyler Herrera

First, thank you Jackson for putting in (almost) all the work and not flexing it on the pods. Big stuff for real.💯 Second, I agree with the sentiments about a 4th host. Maybe rotate guests for the next quarter? Gauge feedback from the audience and consider bringing a 4th on full time. Still loving the show!

Jonas A

Overall things have very positively improved. I think the 400th lacked much needed fanfare for the late host after all these years. I also think that the bonus casts should be all 3 if you, as the change would result in just not having Andrew, as opposed to half of the hosts. I look forward to the future of the cast, guys.

SupremeToffles

Three series is nuts Jackson don’t get burnt out man

AltitudeF4

Really nice to see you three start to make the show your own and start to invent your own format for the episode. :) Keep it up!

Travis Blaize

Every episode so far has been great. The vibe is back

slinkyworm

Im enjoying all three shows and seeing new episode pop up always feels nice and if im at work i will very likely pause what i was listening to listen it. I would love to see some guest episodes again in future though.

staarii

We're working on that! -J

The Boys

The show(s) have been excellent, my only complaint is that they aren't 7 hours long each and released every other day

Yeetskeeter477

I really think y'all should consider a 4th host. I like the show as it's been lately but I think a fresh voice would go a long ways

Allison F.

The shows themselves are the best they've ever been, but people want early video episodes. I don't want you guys to dial down on the visual elements when they add to the content but there has to be a way to make that more enjoyable for the people who are paying you guys to watch early. You guys ran a poll not too long ago asking if people would sub to a Patreon alternative and most said yes I think. If that was ever an option to help you get around Patreons video restrictions that's all I could ask for.

CJ

just you brother

cdog44

I've thought about this and I feel like (based of not a whole lot, really) that Andrew never being in the other series is a specific choice on his end, most likely to focus on his own solo content as it seems rather high effort and time intensive

Paragon-VI

Yeah, that's definitely going to be a focus for us in the short-term! Would like to at least get back to the level of 2 bonuses a month! -J

The Boys

Is there any reason why there seems to be less guest appearances lately?

Bararaq Siqa

IHE's always been there he's just muted

raventhegoat

Thanks for joining us! -J

The Boys

show has been amazing. tons of good energy and red thread/criminally stupid is better than ever. keep up the good work boys

Grant

awesome. Lastly, just want to say thank you guys for making such an enjoyable podcast for this long. Been listening since the beginning and recently got into patreon. You guys take up pretty much all of my listening time lol

Ilias Smith

I was just there for the free baby oil -J

The Boys

Jackson, please talk about the Ubisoft news on the next episode! I’m still listening in even tho I miss Charlie. Looks like SOP is actually done, you guys should consider bringing Oompaville on as a main I think you guys would do great with him.

Dual

Not that he’s not famous but you know, I love that you get the attention you’ve been deserving for all the work you’re doing between all the shows

Travis Sucks

Loving the show as always. Loving the chemistry and the gayness when you glaze each other

xSilentxNight

Goated shows

Walter Medina

Don’t wanna psychoanalyze but I feel like when Charlie was on the show(for like the last two years) things were a bit more serious and he wouldn’t play along with the rest of the boys. Nothing against him, I think that just showed that the podcast wasn’t his cup of tea anymore and his departure was a positive for both him and the quality of the show. That being said, we’ve been getting nothing but bangers lately🔥

AndresPalos

Love it all, it’s only gotten better. can’t wait for Jackson to be the famous podcaster he deserves to be

Travis Sucks

Jackson video evidence has surfaced of you attending a freak off party at P Diddy’s Puff Daddy Flavor Camp, care to comment?

Santas_Babe

More bonuses would be cool

crazypata

As a serious note, i think these episodes have been some of the best in literal years. I think the small segments and quizzes have been fun to listen to, i think Kaya going thru the depths of the internet would make a good segment

xnighttripperx

Lmao, I like the thought that Jackson just couldn't take him anymore

Paragon-VI

I love love love all three shows!!!! I just recently became a Patreon right before episode 400 and it’s awesome! Please continue the great work! I love all the hosts and content it actually has me looking forward to my daily commute. keep it up! :)

EliseR

Episodes 400 and onward feel like we’re back to why I started listening in the first place. I never disliked the episodes but we are back to peak. The segments are great. Very excited for the future and excited for bonus episodes 🥳

Maltex

No Charlie for episode 400 was very weird. If you do 399, you can do 400.

Esteban5050

Show's have been real great!! I really like the addition of quizzes on the main podcast!! Hope to see more of those and maybe more IRL clips!!

GelatMaru

one thing id still be interested in is seeing wendigoon and oompa in the monthly after-reports, just to have a fun episode answering questions since they don't interact with the community otherwise, other than that shows been great keep it up Jackson 🫡

cas.ko

We're working on designing the visual package of that. We might make that series a patreon exlusive series. Undecided on how we're going to handle that. But currently we're designing everything for release soon hopefully. -J

The Boys

Criminally Stupid is amazing, wish it was released more frequently

Jeremiah King

Please make video available for pateron expically when the topic is visually based

MilkMan248

the passion seems stronger than ever. episodes seem to be longer. no disappointments

Mach Mayo

Oompaville is a great pick for TRT, and the energy from past few podcast episodes seem to have a cleaner flow, I didn't even realize a recent one was almost 2 hours cause you were all engaged the whole time. I don't know if a fourth host would be needed or even wanted tbh, the dynamic between you, Kya and Andrew has damn near perfected itself

Paragon-VI

The shows are good, I’d honestly like to see some earlier guest on again like Doug, Mr. Sark, and maybe even IHE if that guy’s still alive.

Negatron

Better than ever! The chemistry between all the hosts on all the podcasts feels more vibrant. I also appreciate yall doing longer official episodes, seemed like charlie always cut those short. Having the natural end is a nice change. Caleb fit right into the red thread and adds a lot to the vibe. Overall yall just seem to be enjoying yourselves more. Keep up the hard work!

BEEP

Yeah, there's currently no plans to replace Charlie in that way. It made sense with Red Thread since the show is early enough in it's lifespan for it to not completely derail the established vibe. With OP, it'd be too much of a drastic change, I think. -J

The Boys

I feel like you guys have been doing great! Love when you guys go outside and vlog stuff it's been hilarious even recently when Kaya threw a waterballoon at Boogie 😂😂

Kane Padilla

absolutely understand that, i personally love host only episodes as well, just curious on your guys stance with guests. When do you plan on doing videos where you guys play games together?

Ilias Smith

- Shows energy has been so positive - episodes have been coming out on patreon relatively quick - episode lengths have been good - i like the little segments you guys have been doing with like the superhero guessing games and the recent reddit fill in the blank. Reminds me of the older episodes with the guess the theme song game - things we like corner needs to be a permanent staple again. It adds something new to the show that isnt concurrent media or topics. - fuck that satan dude in the comments - red thread is still good - podophiles is fun and my favourite. Keen for 2025

Sam Abdallah

Jackson firing Charlie, while incredibly ruthless, was the best decision he’s made in years. The podcast is the best it’s ever been.

Western Philosopher

I fear that having too many shows will bring the quality as a whole down if you have to split your time between them all. I have kind of stopped watching the podcast, but I do tune in when an ep title interests me; I don't really like Redthreads just isn't my thing, but I love Criminally Stupid, I kinda prefer the whole just friends hanging out and talking about a topic with some structure to it rather than a completely full on a researched show about random folklore, so maybe more allowing organic conversations to go on more rather than just jumping from talking point to talking point in the doc but that's probably just me love the stuff keep it up

bae hardman

Realistically, we definitely have less sway with getting the larger guests as you might imagine but we're also honestly enjoying just casually chatting with eachother. It's a comfortable environment where we know we can joke around and match eachother's energy. -J

The Boys

I’m looking forward to bonus episodes!

GarretInTheDeep

Been loving all the shows recently! I genuinely hope you don’t try to “replace” Charlie on the official podcast though, I think the three of you are just perfect, no need to learn someone else and get used to them. I just think the dynamic we’ve had for 7 years would be thrown off

Cassy Turner

I think it’s been awesome. The show has so much life now. Love you all

Vector

If bonuses are coming back I'm more than happy with keeping my subscription

p

Love the irl segments in a couple of the episodes wish we had them more often also game show might be better of every month or biweekly so it doesn’t take up to much of the episodes overall still cranking out bangers weekly

Santas_Babe

I love all the current series y’all are putting out, and the energy and synergy between y’all had been great the past 2 months. Keep up the great work

Zack

Jackson cock reveal 2025?

xnighttripperx

I do wonder about the value of the subscription. It feels like we're getting early access to half-finished episodes since we only get the audio version, and the episodes themselves almost always make reference to visual components.

Thaddeus Tobin

Would love it if Andrew got his own series

Starsuper64

The OP is peak now, Criminally stupid is great but i wish it was more frequent releases, and i love Red Thread, speacially real crimes or mysteries, cryptids not so much.

Paolo De Leon

Can’t complain at all. When Charlie left I wasn’t sure how I felt but honestly I’ve been enjoying everything so much more with him gone. You guys seem a whole lot happier in general in episodes and everything feels much better

ClitMan

Show has been peak since 400, red thread is going well too. Excited for the bonuses to return!

deadZed64

The quality has remained superb! Excited for future content 👐🏼

RP

Only thing I'd really say is that theres been a lot of visual elements in the recent episodes, but as a primarily audio listener, it does take me out of it a bit. Other than that, banger episodes boys

Marshall

It’s been great imo. I’m definitely enjoying the longer podcasts as well

Ant

Imo episode recorded tonight was one of the best in a while, felt like a strong return to form and I was cracking the fuck up at a lot of the banter.

Alex Devens

All the shows have continued to be great recently!

Owen

I’m going to touch you Jackson

Unknown Jpeg

Ughhh fine 🫱(‿¤‿)🫲

Adrian Velasco

Yall been releasing peak

Shows are good jackson, love the new energy the boys are putting up!

Taro

It’s been great! Oompaville is a great addition

Nathan Corbin

im lovin the shows and lovin all the boys. But has it become difficult to get guests? I would love to see more guests come one.

Ilias Smith

Loving it lately dude, especially Caleb’s a good addition to the red thread. Enjoying the energy behind all of it

Truck MAN

no complaints tbh other than that you can't listen to the official podcast on youtube music but you can listen to the other 2 shows

Bryant Gutierrez

Pookie Jackson

Joel Penuelas

Please don't change anything keep doing what your doing. No new hosts necessary. And bonus episodes will be much appreciated

CheeseCake King

If it’s about gaming I don’t even bother.

Roger Cruz

Keep up the great work. Love to listen to the shows while working

Matt Armour

Thank you Jackson, very cool!

Reece

You’re doing great Jackson !!! I love the direction everything’s been going. Keep up the good work my guy

Jeff Riffey

Show has been great boys

Love the shows!
