Welcome to the next era of The Besties
Added 2024-02-15 15:03:54 +0000 UTC
Hello!
We didn’t expect to be doing this show for 12 years. Barely anything lasts that long on the internet. The only reason The Besties has survived for so long has been your support. You were with us through weekly episodes at Polygon, monthly and then annual episodes on our own, our return at Spotify, and our shift back to independence.
Now we’re entering a new era and once again we’re asking you to join us.
When we say "you" we don't specifically mean you, the person whose name is Beth or Randy or Tommy Trombone. We mean the collective you. We mean the fans who have, in their dogged determination and uncanny lack of rationality, thought fit to keep asking us to make this thing. Though Randy was particularly insistent.
Which brings us to the big question: Why Patreon?
As much as we love making the show for y'all, the shift to weekly a few years back meant that The Besties required a significant amount of time and energy to produce. We've tried to justify that time (mostly to our spouses and kids) by showing some returns in the form of money to pay for things like food and schools and diapers and all the junk of adulthood. And we've tried to earn that money in the way that would be least impactful or disruptive to the fans of the show: ads.
We're well aware that some ads can be bothersome, but we were careful with our partners and their ads allowed the show to remain free for y'all, even though it made our margins pretty tight.
Over the past year, those tight margins became untenable. You may have heard about the podcast ad market tanking. And you've probably had moments listening to the show where we'll throw to an ad but then the show comes right back. Every time that happened, it meant that an ad slot didn't get sold. Because the ad market has been terrible. It's no one's fault, but it has had a considerable impact on the show’s livelihood.
We hope that Patreon will help fill in the blanks and, after more than 10 years of chaos, finally let us stop searching for the next safe harbor to keep the show alive. That we can focus our energy on making the show, rather than saving the show.
What do you get for subscribing?
We know not everybody can afford a subscription. To those folks: The main Besties episodes will remain completely free (with those occasional ads), and you'll still get our weekly newsletter.
But if you're willing and able to commit to a few dollars each month, you'll be getting a few things:
First, you’ll get a new, monthly bonus Besties episode with the whole gang. We want these to feel epic and worthwhile, so we’re modeling them off our Game of the Year bracket episodes. We’ll be pitting ourselves and our favorite things into spectacular, absurd bracket challenges to determine the Bests in a variety of categories (as voted on by subscribers).
We will also be making The Resties and its two episodes per month exclusively for Patreon subscribers (though the back catalog of The Resties will remain free for all). We mentioned the ad market above. For full transparency, it’s become too difficult to weather the storm by splitting potential ad support across two shows. We want to keep the core Besties free, and that means directing what ads we can find into that program.
We hope you will continue to join us for these episodes, as we've loved making this offshoot into something that feels like its own vibe.
Other questions you might have
How do I listen to the bonus content episodes or add it to my preferred podcast player?
Once you subscribe, you'll be able to listen to the bonus content directly on Patreon or through the Patreon app.
If you're on Spotify, you should see an option to link your Spotify account through Patreon which will allow you to add it to your Spotify playlists. Instructions here.
You'll also be granted a unique RSS link that you can copy and paste into just about every major podcasting player. The instructions will vary depending on the player, but here's how it works on Apple Podcasts:
Open the Podcasts app.
- Tap Library.
- Tap Edit in the upper right corner, and then tap "Add a Show by URL..."
- Enter your RSS feed URL.
- Tap Subscribe.
Why aren't the main episodes and the bonus episodes in the same feed?
The challenge here is that the main episodes are still ad-supported and Patreon doesn't currently allow us to run our ad platform through their services. We're hopeful that this will change in the future, but for right now, all the bonus content will exist in its own feed called The Besties Bonus. It's even got its own album art. Fancy!
If I can't subscribe now, will I get access to older bonus episodes if I subscribe later?
Yes! The back catalog of bonus content isn't going anywhere if you're not able to subscribe right now. Though obviously we greatly appreciate anyone who does, since it's those subscriptions that'll be helping to keep the show going.
Did you guys just steal your bonus content offering from how Blank Check does it?
Basically, yes.
---
Whether you're planning to subscribe or not, thank you for sticking with us all these years. We're extremely excited about this new era of Besties.
And thank you for keeping this show going for over a decade. We hope to do it for decades more. Because shouldn't the world's best friends pick the world's best games?
Love,
Justin, Griffin, Chris, and Russ

2025-06-13 20:20:06 +0000 UTChi all, been listening for years and finally joined after hearing the polygon news. Should have joined earlier - loving the bonus episodes.
Kyle Balmer
2025-05-30 10:45:15 +0000 UTChey, just in case you didn't notice, his new podcast is up and you can subscribe to that. In fact, he has a higher tier their explicitly for people who want to give him extra support (which sounds like a great idea to me)

2025-05-17 19:32:07 +0000 UTCJust joined the Patreon after hearing the Polygon news. I hope you guys are hanging in there. Thank you as always for your nuanced, thoughtful, and funny approach to video game journalism.

2025-05-09 01:14:31 +0000 UTCI don’t know if others said this, but I would love to up my patreon pledge to a “Chris Plante tier” to support him in his work transition. Maybe he can do some of his famous ask for a recommendation work for folks at a higher tier?

2025-05-02 00:42:03 +0000 UTCLooks like this is where we're dumping support for Russ & Chris. Hoping everything works out for the best for you two dudes. ♥

2025-05-01 21:18:20 +0000 UTCBest wishes, resiliency, and as much time as you need to Chris and Russ as you recover from this. So sorry to hear the news. Polygon was a bright star for so many of us. So sad to see it snuffed out by corporate greed.

Ruben
2025-04-18 02:41:37 +0000 UTCHi guys! I've appreciated your content for years, and I want to say I finally became a Patron because Russ has been soapboaxing for Noita. One suggestion for enjoying it is that the game is cruel so you shouldn't feel bad using it's systems against it. Here are some spoiler key words that I recommend you investigate (hidden with backwards text): sdlrow etinifni ,gniworht telbat ,tfihs lagnuf ,amlis ahap ,ivikrennat ,dlog eht
Jake S
2025-04-06 18:19:08 +0000 UTCI never really appreciated gaming until I listened to your podcast. I don’t even game that much, so while it has helped to curate what exactly I like, more importantly, it has helped me to value my leisure time and use it effectively. I hope you guys are all doing good okay.
Jacob Troxell
2025-03-01 18:32:15 +0000 UTCReally appreciate Justin talking about learning how to take back control over the technology in our lives. Anyone interested in that should check out r/selfhosted to learn about how to replace subscription services like Spotify with media and software you own and control.
Nat Steinsultz
2025-03-01 17:04:54 +0000 UTCThe comments on Netflix games on the most recent episode I can 100% relate to. I see all these good games that I want to play, but don't really know how to work them into a platform that I'll enjoy them. I have an iPad, but its too old the support these games, so I'm at a crossroads. I was thinking about investing in a Retroid5, but now may give that up to get a new iPad. This episode prompted an idea, is it possible to setup a handheld, such as a Retroid5, to play Netflix games? I searched Retro Game Corps and couldn't find anything, and can't get ahold of the Good Russ. So figured I would reach out, what do you all think? iPad or Retroid5 for Netflix games?
Brandon Wood
2025-03-01 00:52:12 +0000 UTCHoly shit I am so happy that Justin is using linux. Abso-fucking-lutely take control of your shit, it's a deeeeep rabit hole but you will not want to come back out. Hit me up if you need help (sysadmin / dev here). Helps that all the games are runnable thanks to proton, and if you really deep you can pass your GPU to a windows VM if you really need it.
Alexander Ou
2025-02-28 20:05:18 +0000 UTCI've hit a bit of a dry spell with games that pique my interest while waiting for Monster Hunter and have decided to dip into some demos for upcoming releases. The 3 that grabbed my attention the most are MINDWAVE (a WarioWare-like with visuals reminiscent to Jhonen Vasquez's Invader Zim that just recently ended their KickStarter with 1100% support), AI Limit (an anime stylized soulslike with a unique take on a stamina/ability gauge), and The First Berserker: Khazan (another soulslike that i feel nicely blends sekiro parrying with rolling/evading). Have yall played any of these demos or are there any you have played recently for lesser-known games releasing soon? Thanks for all that yall do and for making my commutes bearable.

2025-02-26 15:31:04 +0000 UTCEach and every one of you is aging like fine wine. No question, just admiration and awe. Thank you for making so much wonderful content across all of your platforms, even though I am a touch-and-go player (I love and am in tune with video game culture but am not a true gamer), the joy you gentlemen have brought to my life over the last decade or so is more than worth 5 dollars a month. Keep up the good work fellas.
James Garnes
2025-02-16 17:43:17 +0000 UTCLike everyone else, I'm using this post send a message to y'all lol. Been meaning to sign up for a while cause I've been wanting to listen the bracket battles, and I miss Resties, but the impetus for me joining today was Justin talking about his new RPi hobby. RPis are wonderful single board computers, and everything you're doing currently are perfect applications for them. Another great thing to run on an RPi is Home Assistant which is and open source home automation project. But if you keep going down this rabbit hole, you'll find that RPis are overpowered for a lot of problems. Microcontrollers, super small computers that just run some code instead of an entire OS, are better suited to a lot of applications for making stuff around your house smart and just generally doing neat things. Also, they're much, much cheaper than RPis. The most popular one these days is the ESP-32, and there's a project called ESPHome that allows you to set them up without having to write any C++ code yourself. A coworker who's smarter than I am recommends the ESP32-S3 Feather from Adafruit. There's also a project named WLED for controlling LED lights and strips that I'm going to start messing with soon. Just wanted to share this, so you can keep it in the back of your brain if you run into a problem where a microcontroller would be a better solution than an RPi. The coolest thing I've made with an ESP-32 is the rotary phone I made into a smart home hub. For instance, you can dial B-E-D and it'll turn off the lights and set the thermostat to 67. Oh, and btw, get y'all asses back to New Orleans for Christ sake! Y'all haven't been back for a tour since I've become a fan.
Allie Fitter
2025-02-14 19:00:23 +0000 UTCHello, Besties! I'm not sure if there is a better place to share this with y'all, but on the off chance that no one has recommended Ballionaire (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2667120/Ballionaire/) to you yet... y'all should check it out. Think pachinko roguelite.
Calla
2025-01-08 14:45:18 +0000 UTCHis glasses will be the ones fogged by egg-steam. I imagine Russ is also identifiable presently by the scowl and ribbon of support he's certainly wearing with the current price of eggs.

2025-01-04 15:46:08 +0000 UTCExcellent! Will stay tuned!
Jesse Turits
2024-12-25 16:46:38 +0000 UTCWould still be a 10/10 for the game as it was that year. But I would have different feelings about the current version with all the updates in 2024. Sort of like how fortnite that year was a totally different game than it is now. Good question!

2024-12-25 15:11:18 +0000 UTCDon’t know where to drop this except for here. Plante, would love to get to see this in the LA area, but looks like it’s just in the UK right now.

Nat J
2024-12-14 03:41:44 +0000 UTCHello Besties, I have an embarrassing revelation to admit. Despite spending a lot of this year listening to every single episode (then joining this lovely Patreon). I must confess, looking at the photos here...I have no idea which one is Chris and which one is Russ. I'm sorry. 😭😭😭
Little Mel
2024-12-10 04:13:41 +0000 UTCThank you for such a kind comment!
Chris
2024-10-01 14:04:01 +0000 UTCI just wanted to say I've been on the patreon since you started it and it's my favorite patreon subscription! I listen to episodes multiple times, your banter and discussion is funny, interesting, and calming. Amazing job y'all!
Chrysanthemum
2024-09-23 21:37:52 +0000 UTCLove the show! Not podcast related, but in regard to the newsletter, it would be great to replace the amazon links to books with a site like Bookshop.org that supports indie bookstores or even a link to an indie bookstore that ships nationwide like Powells. I know I've gotten some great book recommendations on the show and it would be great to support indie bookstores when buying them!
Edward Thomson
2024-08-09 21:44:46 +0000 UTCCatching up on the bracket episodes has turned a crummy day into a pretty fun one. Thanks, Besties!
Willem Brian Smith
2024-08-09 21:38:26 +0000 UTCChris Plante, you recommended Spelunky in 2012 with a 10/10. Over the years, I feel you would still give it a 10/10 today. In 2018, you also recommended Pubg 10/10. How has that view changed since then?
Long-Time Bestie, First-Time Patreon
2024-08-04 13:01:43 +0000 UTCLove this!
Chris
2024-07-30 15:45:05 +0000 UTCHey Besties! Just dropping in to say the talk about 3DS games a few weeks ago inspired me to look for a refurbished 3DS. Never tried it when it was released but I can already see why it's so highly regarded. Trying a metroid game for the first time and I'm enjoying it!
Ray
2024-07-29 17:56:12 +0000 UTCThere are so many awesome questions here. We answered a few on the episode. I'll answer a few here this weekend! And we'll save some of these for future episodes! Thanks yall!

2024-07-06 20:32:31 +0000 UTCGreetings friends hello, did you know that the 2001 release date of Halo CE is closer to the 1980 release of Pac Man than it is to today? Goodbye, we are all bones now

2024-06-23 21:22:06 +0000 UTCLove these guys, been a fan since day 1. Great wholesome energy between these fellas. Love what you do and I’m happy to help out by being a patron subscriber. Y’all are wonderful.

2024-05-31 22:20:56 +0000 UTCIs there any plan to make the main podcast ad free on Patreon? I would really love that.
Chris Classen
2024-05-08 13:26:08 +0000 UTCI recently finished playing Journey again. It's a great game. When I finished it I completed it with a sense of stability behind me. I remember listening to the episodes where Journey was battling it out with whatever game the stupid rules of the podcast had it pitted against. Rain on my neck, just outside the door, podcast in my ears, a journey to here. Talking and listening to conversation about video games makes it more magical. I was there, there was a journey, the feelings I felt were there. Thank you Besties.

2024-04-12 21:17:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone who wears it better me or Griffin? PS: If your willing to pull little sailor boy back out, I might have some cool gear for you to wear on it!
Bryan Gillespie
2024-03-23 21:31:45 +0000 UTCI want you to know that I’ve listened to podcasts between 4 and 12 hours a day, 5 days a week for the past 8 or so years because I drive a big truck for a living, and even though almost all of them ask for donations I’ve never donated to any of them because I’m a cheap poor dirtbag. Besties is the one exception, #1 podcast, that being said 1/5th of my generous $5donation is for monster factory please make more of those I am a paying customer thank you.
Goositrous
2024-03-19 19:13:45 +0000 UTCThank you all for this, I think it is a wonderful opportunity and know that when you were sharing about it you were worried about people feeling a kind of way. To me, this is way more worth what I spend on coffee, gifting a sub on Twitch, or heck even what I pay monthly for GamePass. This podcast is such an incredible thing and am glad to follow yall wherever you take it!

2024-03-18 02:15:45 +0000 UTCSo happy I am able to support y’all, besties forevah!!!
Pepe D Sapiens
2024-03-06 13:05:34 +0000 UTCLove you guys so much! Been listening for years and will gladly support on patreon forever and ever. Russ said we could leave some ideas for the patreon here so: I would love to hear more from you four in the patreon and for you to interact with us in different ways. A creator I follow lets their patreon subs write a series of statements and on the podcast, they have to strongly agree / agree / disagree / strongly disagree (no middle of the line!) on those statements. For example, “Egg steam is better after you add pepper to the eggs” It would make for more fun podcast discussions and we would be able to connect on more things than just games. Never stop the besties though pls 🙏
Juan Pablo Gomez
2024-03-03 00:51:55 +0000 UTCReally happy to be able to support you guys here!
Paige Reiring
2024-03-02 22:33:07 +0000 UTCCan we get the main show in our Patreon feed so we don’t need to keep two separate lines in our podcatchers please?

Katie Jewel
2024-02-28 03:22:55 +0000 UTCBoth comments areas work for us!
Chris
2024-02-28 02:26:12 +0000 UTCWhere are we supposed to send questions (like for the mailbag episodes)? Is it still just the comments on the newsletter?
Emily Lewis
2024-02-28 01:42:35 +0000 UTCThis doesn’t solve the no-ads issue, but to more easily see both podcast feeds in one timeline, try out an indie podcast app like Overcast (if on iOS) and others. It supports playlists, so I’ve added shows with non-Patreon and Patreon feeds into their own playlists to make it look and feel like one feed.
Glen Lam
2024-02-26 21:20:26 +0000 UTCHappy to contribute to something that makes me laugh, enriches my free time and speaks to our collective passions. Looking forward to many stable Patreon years ahead for all the Besties and Resties!
Bort Simpson
2024-02-26 07:12:24 +0000 UTCSame, that seems like a common benefit for a podcast patreon to have. Maybe they will look at it again once the initial subscriptions have settled?
Josh K
2024-02-25 19:30:56 +0000 UTCI signed up because I thought the main podcast would be on here ad-free :(
James Sikora
2024-02-25 17:06:01 +0000 UTCAbsolutely! I feel like it's a no brainer as an incentive for the Patreon subscription.
Kári Kárason
2024-02-24 23:30:34 +0000 UTCI was just thinking the same thing! What about requiring a threshold of patrons to reach as a bonus? I think there are even more folks who would be willing to pay a small price to get bonus content AND as-free listening.
Kevin Proff
2024-02-24 21:38:57 +0000 UTCLove the move to Patreon! One thought, have you considered adding the main podcast episodes to the bonus feed without any ads? (I don't know the plan for ads in the future). It would also simplify things as Patreon members would only have to have one podcast to listen to everything, instead of two. P.S. have you played Balatro(GOTY) yet?
Kári Kárason
2024-02-24 12:24:06 +0000 UTCI feel like I’m part of a video game club where just by listening (and contributing a more than fair $5 a month), I’m a member!

2024-02-22 14:48:09 +0000 UTCI posted on the newsletter. Saying if you guys got a Patreon, that I would support. I am a man of my word. Very first time supporting in Patreon. Besties and Resties meant that much that I had to support and join the community over here. Keep up the great work! Appreciate you all!

2024-02-22 11:01:28 +0000 UTCI discovered Awful Squad during the early days of COVID and loved every minute. The show brought me so much joy during the lockdowns. Plus, it was through Awful Squad that I was able to discover the Besties, and I'm so thankful I did! The show is fantastic and I'm happy to support it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to give back to you all even a small portion of what you have for me! :)

Amber McMillan
2024-02-20 22:32:14 +0000 UTCI was curious if your relationship with max fun will change at all after this. I do not mean that loaded, I value max fun but really was happy to see content on Patreon instead. Is there any beef lol

2024-02-20 12:12:18 +0000 UTCThanks for everything over the years, happy to support! If it weren't for the Besties I never would've found some of my favorite games of the last few years! Dredge, Blasphemous, Neon White, Tunic and so so so many more!

2024-02-19 17:39:58 +0000 UTCYay besties! Easily my favourite podcast and I'm so stoked to be able to support you! It might just be because I'm a similar age to you all but the way you talk about videogames and especially nostalgia in videogames often has me feeling like I've just been hanging out with some good pals! I audibly gasped when Russ mentioned Knytt!!!!! Can't wait to see where the show goes next!! I love you guys!!!
NB Merry
2024-02-19 11:49:56 +0000 UTCI never got over the Joystiq Podcast ending but The Besties helped me cope over the years. Happy to finally be able to contribute.
RDK
2024-02-19 08:06:15 +0000 UTCI'm so happy you finally launched a PATREON!!! I've hoped you guys would do this for years!
Tommy Morgan
2024-02-19 08:05:30 +0000 UTCI’ve listened to every Besties episode, and I am particularly fond of the Resties. Can’t wait for this next chapter!
Ben Smelser
2024-02-19 01:25:36 +0000 UTCThanks for being my best friends
Cory Summers
2024-02-18 23:28:25 +0000 UTCexcited to support y'all and it was an easy choice! i'm a new-ish gamer and listening to besties has been very educational for someone who hasn't been into this hobby for their whole life ✨
grace, esq.
2024-02-18 23:19:46 +0000 UTCAbout time! Thanks guys. If possible one day to put the main eps on this feed ad free is ofc the dream. Peace a love 🧘🏻🧘🏻
cfriend
2024-02-18 18:27:02 +0000 UTCI'm so stoked for you guys. I blasted through all three bonus eps last night and the energy was great. You guys all sounded like you were recently relieved of a heavy load.

2024-02-18 18:03:17 +0000 UTCThank you for the efforts, this show brings me joy
Ian penman
2024-02-18 17:51:32 +0000 UTCOn the resties episode when you guys where talking about your options going forward I just kept thinking about MaxFun. Can't wait for the next drive. I have steady job now so I can actually give some money to my favorite group of white guys
Saint Killjoy
2024-02-18 07:25:31 +0000 UTCBeen waiting for y'all to start this! Glad that I could give support to you all directly. P.S. That "Big Apple" joke on the recent P3R episode's opening was really one of the best. 🤣
sikachu
2024-02-18 06:35:20 +0000 UTCEasiest membership decision I’ve ever made. Keep it up, Besties.
Matt, First of Matts
2024-02-18 06:10:10 +0000 UTCSuper excited to contribute to this. We're gonna make you make more Besties forever. FOREVER.
Eric Leslie
2024-02-18 04:49:08 +0000 UTCEat my money and shit me content! (In a good way)
Awkward Words
2024-02-18 03:16:13 +0000 UTCDefinitely thinking on who those guests could be!
Chris
2024-02-17 23:48:43 +0000 UTCHoping to discuss it in the coming weeks!
Chris
2024-02-17 23:46:05 +0000 UTCNo plans to do an official Discord for now, just because it would be tough to moderate the newsletter, the Patreon, and the Discord with limited time.

icecold
2024-02-17 22:15:41 +0000 UTCIf you thought for one second this community would let you stop making the Besties easily...then you might have thought for that one second...but then in the second second would have realized you have to do this forever sorry not sorry.
Joe Betz
2024-02-17 21:23:06 +0000 UTCI don’t subscribe to much content online but this one was a no brainer for me. And the Hank’s for keeping the price accessible and affordable. Thanks for what you all do!
Tim Molloy
2024-02-17 19:54:24 +0000 UTCI see you
Tuoman
2024-02-17 19:04:27 +0000 UTCFinally I have a way to directly pay for Russ earwax pics. Thought I was going to have to wait for his Onlyfans to drop
Dan Smillie
2024-02-17 18:47:12 +0000 UTCHola from Spain! Why didn’t you ask sooner?? Thanks for all the many many hours of free entertainment so far
Paul Coghill
2024-02-17 16:28:47 +0000 UTCHappy to finally directly support The Besties/Resties. I'm getting too old to stay current with the scene, so having a touchstone to learn about the new shit coming out is worth more than $5/month for me. I do wish you guys had more natural coverage of strategy games and CRPGs (besides BG3 of course), maybe you have some contacts who would be good guests to discuss those genres from time to time?
Tom
2024-02-17 16:16:53 +0000 UTCYay!!! So glad I can send some cash directly to y'all!
Teagan Mulford
2024-02-17 16:05:51 +0000 UTCHello from South Africa! Very happy to support the podcast, also I need my supplemental Resties fix; a quality podcast from a bunch of folks you can actually trust
Ross
2024-02-17 14:45:07 +0000 UTCSo glad that I can directly support you guys!

Daniel Devillier
2024-02-17 04:57:10 +0000 UTCThrilled to support one of my favorite shows and to have another playform on which to tell Justin to watch Giri/Haji on Netflix.

Bird What Craves Murder
2024-02-17 04:24:01 +0000 UTCBeen a fan for many years, but I finally took the plunge and listened to the entire Besties catalogue throughout last year. Spotify Wrapped clocked me at a total of 22,385 Bestie minutes across 2023, I’m definitely excited for what 2024 and beyond look like. Here’s hoping for a Bracket Battle of Russ’s classic characters!
Michael Hooper
2024-02-17 04:14:19 +0000 UTCYou have my axe! In all seriousness, you guys have made my life irrefutably better. Thank you for giving us a way to better support you. Keep on with your wacky selves,
Dave
2024-02-17 03:57:28 +0000 UTCI'm all in. Give me that sweet, sweet content.
Dan N
2024-02-17 03:02:44 +0000 UTCYou four continue to create content that is both interesting and a soft place to land when the world feels like a lot. My husband and I are so grateful for the moments to laugh and relax! It's an easy choice to support you.
Jess Kelley-Madera
2024-02-17 02:02:14 +0000 UTCSo great that you are all keeping this going! You all have our support
Brandon Wood
2024-02-17 01:55:59 +0000 UTCHell yeah. I’ve been listening to you for yeeears, happy to cut out the middlemen and help fund this directly. I find this really exciting :)
James Prothero
2024-02-17 01:46:22 +0000 UTCAppreciate ya'll. Keep doing what you do and i'll always support <3

Dan O’Neill
2024-02-17 01:11:11 +0000 UTCWhen I say I RAN to my computer to subscribe to y'all. Would support you boys through any endeavor! I started listening to Mbmbam in 2016 and have since back catalogued all of y'all's shows. Thank you for years of laughter and joy 🫶🏼
Caleb Pardue

Brian Matty
2024-02-16 22:50:28 +0000 UTCi’ve been listening since the polygon days, and i’m so so happy this exists :’) by far my number one favorite podcast of all time and fastest (and best) 5 bucks i’ve ever spent! THANK YOU!!!

Sam Kanan
2024-02-16 20:54:48 +0000 UTCI was hoping you all would do this! You could also do a 'select your level of support' thing, so we could just give you more money for the same rewards - I imagine some folks would be willing to give more than $5/month. :) (edited to correct grammar)
Jordan
2024-02-16 20:35:01 +0000 UTCI was hoping you guys would do something like this. The Patreon app is frustrating but I'm still glad to be supporting you on here.
Sean Mackin
2024-02-16 20:31:49 +0000 UTCAny chance of getting ad-free episodes in the Patreon feed? Feels like that could also be a solution to splitting the feed.
Kyle
2024-02-16 20:06:37 +0000 UTCThe besties means a lot to me! I've been following for about a decade now, and I'll keep supporting as long as I'm able :)
ROLLINKUNZ!
2024-02-16 20:06:19 +0000 UTCI'm happy to support! Was really excited to find out that I could get the exclusive content in the podcast app I always use (Overcast).
Joseph Bretzfelder
2024-02-16 19:51:36 +0000 UTCOooooh what would those bonuses look like? Movie night with Plante? A video tour of NY from Russ? 🤔
ames
2024-02-16 19:25:26 +0000 UTCI feel like I'm really in the club now! Love Besties so much and thrilled to more directly support y'all, even as an Android user. ;D
kelly strauch
2024-02-16 19:03:34 +0000 UTCTruthfully I would have signed up for more if it was allowed -- happy to contribute to trying to keep Besties going.
Ian Lunderskov
2024-02-16 18:17:23 +0000 UTCI signed up instantly, I've listened to the entire backlog more times than I can count. It's dominated my Spotify wrapped the past few years!
Joanna
2024-02-16 18:09:45 +0000 UTCI’m sincerely excited to be able to directly pay you guys for the good content that you make. Not just because I have been listening for a decade (weird), but also because the thought of supporting four friends who get to play video games together is well worth the 5 bucks.
Michael B.
2024-02-16 18:06:41 +0000 UTCI'm a Besties!
Ian Richardson
2024-02-16 18:05:45 +0000 UTCSigned up without hesitation! Love you guys! You laughed about people listening since the beginning, but some of us have been listening to some of you since the Joystiq days :D

Ian Cornicelli
2024-02-16 17:15:49 +0000 UTCSo glad to be able to support yall directly!! Hopefully patreon helps ease some of the financial stress of finding ads 💖
Dylan Hewitt
2024-02-16 17:05:36 +0000 UTCBeen wanting yall to do this for awhile! Easiest $5 a month ever. I'd like to recommend another Patreon perk. I'd love to see y'all stream a game once a month. Helldivers 2 would be perfect for something like that. I know its hard with family stuff but just a suggestion.
Sean Davis
2024-02-16 17:00:40 +0000 UTCY’all really are incredible, and I’m so glad we can now directly support the great work you do (I’m sure many of the folks here are also Max Fun subscribers, but this an added bonus). This might be an odd request, but it would be great to have some transparency around the number of patrons y’all have, if nothing else than to know how well this is going. If nothing else, seeing the number of comments/likes/etc. already is a very promising sign!
Kevin Proff
2024-02-16 16:44:15 +0000 UTCLong time listener, happy to support! Palworld episode soon?
Trevan Haskell
2024-02-16 16:42:42 +0000 UTCYesss I’m so stoked you guys are here and I can give you 🥶Cold💪Hard💰Cash‼️ for what you do. One time I told a match on OkCupid I didn’t know what TAZ was and they unmatched me instantly. My life has been changed since, you guys rule. They probably sucked (but had good taste). (Maybe)
Mosu
2024-02-16 16:33:05 +0000 UTCThank you for creating quality content and fostering a community with quality vibes! Excited to support you directly!
J. Brian
2024-02-16 16:03:53 +0000 UTCWas hoping you guys would just move to a patreon when the ad issue was brought up last week. I would subscribe if there was no bonus content. Happy to support you guys
Jeffrey Williams
2024-02-16 15:56:11 +0000 UTCThanks for doing this! I’m happy to support y’all directly like this to keep one of my favorite shows going.
Liz O'Reilly
2024-02-16 15:44:46 +0000 UTCI'm so excited! I only discovered the podcast a couple years ago, but watching monster factory and the polygon youtube back in 2016/17 is what first sparked my interest in video games, and now it's my main hobby. I'm so happy to support you guys and help keep the podcast going. :) <3

2024-02-16 15:36:53 +0000 UTCSo happy to be able to directly support you guys! I've been listening to content from the four of you in one way or another for nearly a decade now, and the Besties has been one of my favorite podcasts for years.

2024-02-16 15:36:13 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed/understood both jokes!
Peter Smith
2024-02-16 15:32:19 +0000 UTCI insta subbed for a year once I got the email. A besties episode hitting my feed is one of the best little pleasures of the week and will easily pay $50 a year to keep that coming.
Sawyer Hood
2024-02-16 15:31:49 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say how fantastic I think it is that you guys have created a Patreon! After all the endless hours of entertainment you’ve provided, it feels great to finally be able to support the show in such a tangible way. Here’s to the next great chapter of the Besties! 🏆💛
Lily Noonan
2024-02-16 15:31:43 +0000 UTCI have never… ever supported a Patreon. I am so happy that I get the opportunity to have my first Patreon be to support my favorite show.

Alex Kibler
2024-02-16 15:04:57 +0000 UTCLove you all! Happy to pay for this. This is the first Patreon I've joined and it's because Besties is the beesssst.

Grant
2024-02-16 14:59:29 +0000 UTCI have given you a year's sub. If it wasn't for the Besties I'd be a better human being that read more books. I don't want to read books.
Saesneg
2024-02-16 14:58:57 +0000 UTCThanks for finally letting me give you money! So happy to support the show, it’s truly my favorite. Love hanging with my parasocial video game buds! Y’all have shown me so many great games over the years and provided much comfort and joy. Thanks for keeping it going!
Elijah Guess
2024-02-16 14:49:20 +0000 UTCSo, so glad you guys have kept going all these years. Happy to help keep it going further!
Drew
2024-02-16 14:49:03 +0000 UTCMany of my podcasts over the years have gone to Patreon and I’ve always found it hard to justify subscribing. But y’all? You absolute goobers who accompany me throughout my weeks? There was only one real choice here. Here’s to hoping we can all keep this thing going. Cheers 🍺

Holly Blaser
2024-02-16 14:31:29 +0000 UTCYou should sell The Besties branded floatation devices because yall's dynamic has kept my head above water so often over the years. Also, one of your previous theme songs, the crunchy, thumping one, continues to top my chart of Most Aggressively Uplifting Songs Ever Composed. Not asking that you bring it back but, if you and Mr. Dorsch saw fit to let folks pay to download it, well, that'd be swell.
Will Golihew
2024-02-16 14:19:12 +0000 UTCVery happy to subscribe! Love this idea boys

I've been in the game industry for over 30 years, and y'all are the best guides to it I've ever known Please do a retrospective on Flash games - I'm biased, because I started a Flash game portal called Kongregate, and I'd love for listeners to get turned on to the best of that bygone scene
Jim Greer
2024-02-16 13:58:29 +0000 UTCMy favorite gaming podcast outside of Retronauts. I support them on Patreon so of course I’m in for y’all as well.
Jody Anthony
2024-02-16 13:54:04 +0000 UTCWas actually pumped to hear this and immediately joined! Excited to have more Besties to listen to, I run through it on Friday and have to find other stuff for my commute the rest of the week. Thanks again boys!!
Billy Barrons
2024-02-16 13:52:39 +0000 UTCLove you guys and this show - your backlog has kept me company over several major cross country moves over the last few years and the show never fails to make me laugh while introducing me to wonderful new games (Slay the Spire, Citizen Sleeper, Persona 4 Golden, and Tunic are just a few of my now all-time favorites that I've played on your recommendation). I'm really glad the show will continue to exist and delighted to be able to support y'all in this way.
Claire
2024-02-16 13:50:44 +0000 UTCsoooo thrilled to support you all like you have supported sooooo many hours of my life - from my early undergrad study during the pandemic to my commutes as a graduate student now :) this is such a big move for you - congrats!!! may this be the start of an even bigger and better besties for many years still to come
wooahali
2024-02-16 13:48:53 +0000 UTCHell yeah Besties! I adore the transparency with this move. The Resties being in the bonus eppies makes a lot of sense - you were giving away a lot of goods before and the ad revenue being divided by the two shows makes sense as a problem. Really excited about the move. I hope you can get the stability you all deserve! Advertisers are silly, the amount of money I've spent because of the Besties is crazy. I just got an OLED deck because of y'all's endless recommendations, and finally went through Golden Idol (oh my GOD) Re: the feeds, I don't know if you considered it but some podtreons have ad-free eps in the patreon rss feed to keep everything under one roof and it seems to work well for them
Groove Wizard
2024-02-16 13:41:19 +0000 UTCGlad to be along for the ride and keep the engine chugging!

(P.s. totally understand the limitations but hopefully we can get a master feed of all eps someday! Even if the main eps have ads)

2024-02-16 13:21:25 +0000 UTCThis podcast is how I keep up with new games and discover past classics, and figure out what I want to play. I don't have as much time or energy as I used to, and this podcast is the only thing that is keeping me in love with games and being A Gamer

2024-02-16 13:15:08 +0000 UTCI know the subreddit has one, but I was not aware of an "official" one, unless that's the defecto one.

2024-02-16 12:59:44 +0000 UTCDon’t they already have an official discord?

2024-02-16 12:47:05 +0000 UTCIf it’s not happening already, it would be nice if the main episode is also in the RSS feed so we can have just one feed for all episodes. Also more guest appearances for Resties please!

2024-02-16 12:46:43 +0000 UTCThis show is the reason I don’t delete podcast feeds! It would be irrational for me not to join.

jtingl
2024-02-16 12:40:48 +0000 UTCGlad to pony up! You guys should consider an automatic inflation increase every year. Not sure if Patreon supports it, but someone willing to pay $5 a month is probably going to be willing to/able to pay $5.25 next January, you know?
Tyler Junger
2024-02-16 11:59:45 +0000 UTCVery excited to get to support the show! Any chance of doing something like an official Discord server?
Marty Day
2024-02-16 11:48:54 +0000 UTCLove the ability to support the show and keep it going! Been listening since its inception, you all deserve a little from everyone for keeping this going all these years.

I am a robot who turns into a car and I find no humor in this
2024-02-16 11:02:19 +0000 UTCI've been listening for free for I think 8 years now and, I'm not gonna lie, I skip the ads every time so I think it's only fair I gave back a little
Jake
2024-02-16 10:48:35 +0000 UTCI've been hoping for this for so long. Being in the UK trying to buy merch comes with crazy shipping costs so I'm glad I can support in a direct way! Can't wait to see what bonkers shit y'all come up with
Mike Corris
2024-02-16 10:35:07 +0000 UTCAs others have said, so happy to be able to support you all! The show has introduced me to some amazing games that I wouldn't have found otherwise, and I'm thrilled to be able to support the show directly. Love all you guys!
Will Jones

2024-02-16 10:12:13 +0000 UTCI've been spending the last few weeks listening to old episodes while playing infinite wealth, so it seems like this is the least I can do !
