Thanks to all of you who have supported DP.
Added 2018-07-26 15:57:19 +0000 UTCThe most recent Spin Till You Spew generated a lot of new interest in what we're doing, and has helped this patreon get back to where it needs to be. For this we are eternally grateful. When you have an audience that is constantly evolving, it's important to listen and try to evolve with them. It's for this reason, that I'm posting this to ask you all what you would like us to offer our patrons that we're not currently offering. I'm making this post public so that former patrons who still show interest in the show can give their suggestions as well. Getting back people who have left, keep people who are here, and gaining new people are all equally important to the success of the show. This is why your suggestions are more than welcome. All we ask is that your suggestions are realistic and achievable. We realize there have been some major changes to the show in the past year, and there have been many growing pains along the way. We all have fond memories of the past, but we also see this as an opportunity to make something new out something that's already established. YouTube has also made recent policy changes that they've enforced retroactively upon us, and as a result of this we may need to stray away from relying to heavily on reacting to video content. That is why I'm asking for suggestions because we can't do it without you and your valuable feedback. I'm going into surgery in less that 24 hours. I'll be back in a few days to look at everything here once I'm not feeling drugged up anymore. Thanks again, - Ben

I've been thinking of becoming a patron for a while but none of the perks have really taken my fancy. I'd love to take part in the quiz but usually the live streams happen at times when I can watch. I'm in the UK so I usually catch the recordings the following day. (Or whenever they get uploaded). Being able to be part of a live stream would definitely make me consider my patronage more. I don't know how you would work your schedule for that so I'm not insisting you do. The time difference between the UK and Seattle is pretty big. But like the Sargon stream I guess it occasionally possible. Including the UK would also mean a lot of other European countries could take part too. I know by now that your out of surgery do best of luck in your recovery. Hope it all goes well
2018-07-28 12:25:20 +0000 UTCMy favourite part of the show is the news segment so maybe you could have political commentators (YouTubers, journalists, authors etc) join you as guests for that and give their impressions. I think you mentioned at some point that you would like to have debates between right- and left-wingers but some people refuse to come on to debate someone they greatly disagree with. If that's still the case maybe you could have some of them be guests just by themselves so that they don't have to worry about platforming ideas that they think are too extreme. As for the private shows I can't think of anything in particular. I pledged this time because I wanted to see you drink Jeff under the table and it sounded too good to pass up. I guess it had something to do with guests since we've already seen you and Billy do it so this was a welcome change.
2018-07-27 16:58:28 +0000 UTCPool together $72 with your fellow Keane fanatics and I'll do it.

2018-07-27 00:44:11 +0000 UTCWe could do more articles, that would be great. We can keep the news segment and just have articles rolling, but it would be great if we can submit articles. I would like to see other things, maybe stuff in science or random shit going on around the world.

2018-07-26 23:49:58 +0000 UTCCovering Brett Keane again would be quite swell.

2018-07-26 22:58:38 +0000 UTCAlso more serious vlougs
2018-07-26 22:27:50 +0000 UTCThe show has regained a lot of the life that is had gradually lost over time, I am enjoying it more then I had in a while. I really like the interactions with other youtubers. I’d like to see more debates, they don’t always have to be serious too, shit like Evan vs Jeff would be cool. When you don’t have guests you could do like focused discussions, obviously the randomness is always a great part of the show, but it’s be cool to here you guys and friends of the show have in-depth talks about all kinds of things. Maybe do polls to choose topics for you to talk about, so you get the fans involved. I’m glad you got your surgery Ben, you’re doing great with the show.

2018-07-26 20:33:14 +0000 UTCJust keep things like the private show and post show going. In regards to showing less videos, other people have mentioned doing more debates on the show which would be awesome! Also, maybe focus on showing more crazy people and troll/not a troll videos and replace news videos with articles, since it seems like those videos are the ones getting claimed. Keep up the great work man!

2018-07-26 18:16:52 +0000 UTCHope everything gos well and you heal nicely. For the patron thing I think maybe adding another hangout a month will be a good opportunity to interact with the fan base and get some ideas of what they want. We got your back

2018-07-26 18:10:24 +0000 UTCBen, thanks for all the hard work you've put in to keep the DP name alive. The show has evolved quite well IMO. As far as suggestions, what about the contest for one lucky Patreorn to attend a live show? Is that still in the cards?

2018-07-26 18:04:31 +0000 UTCGood luck Benjamin! The DP fan base has got your back!

2018-07-26 17:44:43 +0000 UTCYou're on the right track Ben! Recent guests have been great. Just keep having fun, because when you and/or Billy aren't engaged and having fun it isn't fun for us. I've been enjoying the trivia streams. Keep it up and good luck with your surgery!

2018-07-26 17:20:33 +0000 UTCDear Benpai, as a long standing fan of Drunken Peasants, I honestly don’t care too much how you change up the show’s formula and content. I’ll be here regardless. I recently became a patron and I indend on sticking around to support you guys monetarily and with my views. I would like to see more segment-type games like Florida Vs. Africa or things like that. Other than that I think the show is in pretty good condition right now.
2018-07-26 16:39:59 +0000 UTCJust gotta say that I love the content you guys are doing right now. I support you here and on your Benpai channel. I think your content is awesome which is why I dont miss the former peasants and why I chose to stick with DP. Honestly I enjoy your show more now than I did before. Less drama and more solidarity. I'd love more of your rage feed content and more opportunities for the community to get involved in it. Keep it up, sir! Love you guys!
2018-07-26 16:38:36 +0000 UTCSorry I'm using text-to-speech right now cuz my phone's shattered.
2018-07-26 16:23:18 +0000 UTCMy suggestion would B2 just post the links for the videos you guys are going to be reacting to and the description section and react as you normally would but without showing it on the screen. News segments could be read from articles instead of watching the videos. it may be extra work for the fans but you know what I'm willing to accept that if that keeps the podcast going. Because drunken peasants has been I'm pretty important to me personally for a few years now and and after everything that's happened to me personally and you guys over last year at just it's I'm so grateful to do still have it around you guys help keep me somewhat sane and I appreciate it. And hopefully going forward I will be able to contribute more than just $5 a month.
2018-07-26 16:22:32 +0000 UTCInstead of videos you can read some articles and discuss that.

2018-07-26 16:22:30 +0000 UTCLove Ben, love Billy, love DP. Proud to be a patron. A while back you mentioned DP potentially holding a monthly debate, is that still on the cards? If you check out the channel Non Sequitur you'll see their debates are pretty popular - it's a good format. Also, the more appearances of Jeff Holiday the better.
2018-07-26 16:18:47 +0000 UTCGood luck Ben!
2018-07-26 16:04:56 +0000 UTCWhy not create a segment called "Ze public space" where you invite on some wingnuts for a short debate on one topic. For example you could get G-Time Johnny on to debate philosophy with Evan.
Marcus Esbach
2018-07-26 16:04:36 +0000 UTCI wish you the best of luck with your surgery bud. How about a storytime segment? Billy has some great tales! The sweetboy meme is still funny too
