It's Friday, which means early access to this weekend's Dose for you, and the live show tonight at 7pm ET! Enjoy this new video a full day before everyone else, and hopefully we'll see some of you tonight for A Dose of Buckley LIVE.

It's time for your weekly extra video that only you, my fantastic Patreon supporters, get to enjoy!
Now, this one may feel a little "niche" for those of you who don't care about sports or fighting, but trust me when I say "give it a shot anyway, you'll find it funny and interesting". Also, I think there's more movie references in this than there are sports references.
Alright, I want to start fresh with some new questions for "Patreon Goes Postal" as well as "Advice Patreon Asked For". If I didn't get to your questions previously for either of these segments, and you're still a subscriber, feel free to resubmit and I may still use them. SO, please read carefully:
- If you'd like to submit a question for "Patreon Goes Postal", feel free to ask it right here in the comments below
- If you'd like to submit a question for "Advice ...
Hey Patreon supporters, it's that time of the week again where you get the first look at my new video before everyone else. In this one, we look at Dua Lipa's album release and the media spinning it as being some present for everyone locked in their homes, when really its release has nothing to do with the Coronavirus. Enjoy, and hopefully you'll join me tonight for A Dose of Buckley LIVE (7pm Eastern, 4pm Pacific, Midnight in London, England, 8am Sydney, figure it out for your time zone or a...

It's another Patreon-exclusive bonus, Buckley answers more questions from the mailbag! I get to those dueling questions from last month, I talk a little more about my trip to Japan, Canadian accents, my thoughts on marriage, and my greatest on-air/broadcasting fuck-ups. This is a slightly longer video, throw it on in the background while you're cooking or panic-cleaning, or just sit back and relax and look at my beard move up and down for 25 minutes. PLUS: about 10 seconds of me uncomfortably...

Hopefully Patreon subscribers aren't already sick of me taking on advice questions (for those of you who missed them, I've done two "Advice Patreon Asked For" episodes exclusively for you already!) but this weekend's video is the first actual "Advice No One Asked For" that I've done in almost 2 years! I've changed up some of the graphics (swapping out the "lined paper" background for a more "old, yellow, textured paper" background, and have been playing with a couple new video editing techniq...

Another new Patreon exclusive feature! "Inside the Bottle" takes a deeper look at a video, event, or other moment in the 10+ year history of A Dose of Buckley. And it's only fitting that because it's April 1st, we look back at my 2015 April Fools' video that YouTube gave me a guidelines strike on for bullying. The only problem was... I was bullying myself!
The full video is available as an attachment right here on Patreon (it's right here in this post). And don't forget to watch my 202...
What is this, a third Musical Autopsy in only 3 months? Crazy, it's like I'm back to what people thought my old self was! (jokes aren't funny when you explain them, but people who discovered me back in 2012 - 2014 from my Worst Songs videos would always complain a couple years later that I wasn't "doing as many Musical Autopsies as I used to", despite the fact that every year I always did 6, generally one every 2 months, they just didn't realize it because when they first discovered me they b...

Hey, it's experiment time again! So about a week ago, I asked a few Patreon members to join me in a Discord voice chat, and subjected them to my live comedy. I think this might be the first time anyone's ever done this, and maybe for good reason, but while we're all under self-isolation and everything's closed, I think more (actual) stand-up comedians should give this a try. I got to see what worked, what bombed, and I've left all of that in for you. Let me know what you thought, and if I do ...

It's almost the weekend! For those of us self-isolating and practicing social distancing, isn't every day now basically the weekend? What even is time? Well, here's a 10 minute distraction that has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on right now.
ALSO: Don't forget about A Dose of Buckley LIVE, tonight at 7pm ET (and on demand shortly after, also will be available on Spotify).
Oh boy, remember when we had other problems? Seems like years ago! Well, I've got another edition of "Advice Patreon Asked For" for you to enjoy. A big shoutout to those who volunteered their misfortunes for us to laugh at.
While I'm at it, I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone continuing to support my goofy little YouTube channel at this time. We can all use a distraction from what's going on in the world right now, and because of that, I'm going to make sure al...
Well, this truly is a scary Friday the 13th for some, as North America goes on partial lockdown. But we still have to move along as a country, and sometimes we do that by just laughing about the absurdity of a situation. And so, I decided to go forward with a video I put together earlier in the week (before the shit really hit the fan). Enjoy this video a good 24 hours before the rest of the world. Wash your hands and don't lick anything I wouldn't lick.

A couple announcements for you:
1) I'm doing a live show tomorrow on YouTube (Friday, March 13th) at roughly 7pm (Eastern). It's going to be a call-in show where we'll discuss various topics, like a talk radio show except the callers will be from Discord and it won't be old people clogging up the phone lines! I'm giving those of you on Patreon a heads up: the topics are going to be the Coronavirus (obviously) as well as "What is the worst thing your boss has ever asked you to do?" or "H...

REMINDER: If you have not chosen a tier, please remember to do so! Starting next week I'm going to actually adhere to the tier rewards I've set out, so if you're paying $5 for example, but you haven't selected the $5 tier, you may not have access to bonus content. You don't have to pay an extra $5 to be in the tier, you just select that tier because that's what you're already pledging. I sent everyone a message explaining how to do this, but if you n...

As I continue to make good on promises for bonus content and other fun stuff for you guys on Patreon, I wanted to start compiling questions for a series I'm going to call "Patreon Goes Postal". This is different than "Advice Patreon Asked For", these aren't questions you'd ask an advice columnist, but they'd be questions you'd ask some guy whose content you're moderately interested in. It's like a Reddit AMA, but it'll be a video.
And feel free to think outside the box... whatever weird...

Norm Macdonald once said in a sketch that "country music fans are a traditional lot, they're very conservative". So you can imagine how upset they might be if they were to find out that one of their favorite singers was supporting a liberal candidate for President! Garth Brooks fans were shocked to find out that the "Friends in Low Places" singer was wearing a shirt that said "Sanders - 20" on it, but that couldn't have some other meaning, especially in Detroit, especially when it's a Footbal...

REMINDER: Check your inbox for instructions on selecting a tier! I've made this post available to ALL tiers for now, but over the next couple of weeks certain posts will only be available to certain tiers, and if you haven't selected a tier, you won't see any posts, even if you're pledging enough that you should be able to see them.
I kinda messed up my timing for posts this week, so... you're getting two posts today. The early access video for this weekend will be up in a few hours as...
I recently took a trip down south (like 20 minutes south at best) to visit a buddy of mine in Michigan, and we made a video where we throw some sharp objects. It's certainly a little different than my regular content, but I thought it'd be fun for you guys to see anyway, and it gave me a chance to try out some video editing techniques I've never really done before. Enjoy this early access video about 24 hours before the rest of YouTube gets it!
2020-03-04 21:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSo the first full month of this Patreon experiment is over, and it's definitely had its ups and downs, but I have to say it's mostly ups. In one month I didn't expect the level of support you've given me. The "down" would be that after the first month there was a little bit of a dropoff (I was over the goal of "I could do this full time at this level" to about 97% to goal, which isn't a huge problem and hopefully we'll see some of those people come back, or some new people fill their spots).<...

So many of you became Patreon subscribers after seeing my comeback video, a Musical Autopsy of Justin Bieber's "Yummy", so as my continued attempt to show how much I appreciate your support (and, you know, provide you with something for that money you're spending), it's only fitting that you get to see this Sunday's brand new Musical Autopsy a day or so early.

Jake Paul is sick of the education system not teaching students practical skills like how to do their taxes or the importance of insurance. So what's he going to do about it? Why, teach them to become YouTubers, the most practical skill they could learn!
Enjoy this brand new Dose about a day before everyone else. Also, I've got a brand new Musical Autopsy coming out Saturday night, but you'll likely see it here first on Friday.
Buckley brings you another exclusive-to-Patreon series: The MicroDose. The goal is to tell a story and do some jokes in 3 minutes or less, which was the original goal of A Dose of Buckley before I let every video get all bloated.
To my fans who are right-leaning and support Trump: This isn't a political video, this has nothing to do with Republicans or right-wing policies or anything like that. I'll make you a deal: If Bernie starts doing movie reviews at his events, I'll make fun of t...
Here it is, my 300th Dose. This will be released to everyone else on Sunday morning, but you get to watch it over 24 hours early, because that's how cool I think you are. Enjoy!

I've got two Doses coming out this week, and spoiler but Dose #300 won't be anything "special", though it does revisit a topic from several years ago with a brand new story, and was fun to write and record.
But that's getting ahead of ourselves... enjoy this mid-week Dose about the DC movie that's on pace to make less money than the Ryan Reynolds Green Lantern flick (although at least it's already done better than Catwoman). Patreon gets it about 24 hours early, I'll probably make it ...
Back again with another thing you might have already purchased/heard before, but I want to start getting some of this stuff up on my Patreon as well for those that either signed up here and haven't heard it before, or maybe lost their copy, or whatever. This is my first (and to date, only) "stand-up" special, recorded back in 2016 at a comic book convention in my home town.
A fun story from this convention: I met Aron Eisenberg (Nog from Deep Space Nine) at this con, his son had contac...
My absolute favorite segment to write and produce is "Advice No One Asked For". Finding some question that some poor idiot asked an advice columnist, and then putting my own spin on it is a fun exercise in trying to figure out "how helpful could I be while still being a complete asshole?" And once I started doing it, people would actually message me their questions. I guess it's why things like "r/roastme" exist, but I thought "are you serious? In one of my most infamous segments, I told a wo...

As I write this, I already know I'm going to regret what might happen to my inbox... but I'm committed to start coming up with some more Patreon-exclusive content, and one of those things will be "Advice Patreon Asked For". I'm looking for your questions that you'd like me to answer. I have a few rules:
1) DO NOT go find some question on Reddit or in another advice column. That's what Advice No One Asked For is for. I want YOUR questions
2) Let's keep them relatively good-n...

So a couple weeks ago I launched my Patreon and immediately asked you guys for something (because I guess the money wasn't enough). I asked for your customer service nightmares, and said that I'd pick (at least) one for a new segment idea. Here is that segment: Customer Service Noir. Customer service stories retold with a hard-boiled detective spin (well, maybe soft-boiled, not much in the way of violence so far). It's an experiment that I'm hoping you'll enjoy, because I had fun making it.
Thanks to everyone who stuck around for the first payment processing, your support is greatly appreciated. Still working on ideas for bonus materials, maybe some tiers, that sort of thing, but in the meantime for my first Patreon bonus I wanted to share with you a piece of audio that has been out of circulation for several years.
From May of 2015, it's my Musical Autopsy of Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money". I can't upload video via Patreon (and previous attempts to reu...
