A quick BJ for Los Patreones (everyone read!)
🕑 Added 2020-06-10 16:20:15 +0000 UTCHey y'all. Paul the Ball, Saltiest of them all here with a message I've been meaning to pass along for a while now.
COVID hit everyone like a ton of bricks. The economy is in shambles, folks are out of work, losing their homes and livelihoods, getting horribly sick and / or watching it happen to loved ones. It's horrible, crazy and totally fucking unprecedented in my lifetime.
Then, as if it wasn't enough for people, these protests jump off. As much as I support the protesters, and you all know that I do with a passion, I know what the destruction means for many average folks. Lost wages, lost jobs, more financial hardship, more drama and anxiety at home.
In addition to the above, I personally have recently gone through a really low point in my own mental heath. The last year of my life, it has taken everything I have to attempt to be funny or interesting for all of you. I know I've failed at that multiple times, but believe me when I say I never stopped trying my damnedest.
Yet, through all this, I have been extremely fortunate in comparison to most people. Yes, I've been quarantined now for over 2 months, but my livilihood has not been threatened in the least. My bills are paid. There is food on my table and a roof over my head and the heads of those I love.
I have you, and that means each and every one of you here to thank for that. I don't ever want you to feel like I take your support for granted. As a matter of fact, despite all the chaos 2020 has brought thus far, our patreon somehow, improbably, continues to grow. I can't tell you how amazing that feels as a creator, ESPECIALLY now, at this time.
So thank you, thank you, thank you all a thousand times over. I hope you all enjoy the meals we've been whipping up for you in the DFF kitchen. There are exciting things on the horizon for Pessimist Productions, and I feel truly honored to have such a loyal group of people to share it all with. I won't put words in their mouths, but I think it goes without saying that my fellow pessimists and the whole team would echo the sentiments above.
Thank you all again!
In Solidarity,
- Paul

I love all of you! You’re family to me. Have been since the DP days. We’re all here for you Paul. That’s what family does.

Fair enough, I mean, if it feels like the right thing for you to be doing then it really can't hurt to try. I would just take care not to drive yourself into misery over it in the process.
Breonna Rice
I'm not fully convinced doing things will change the ultimate outcome, yet it seems wrong to not try? I mean I know I'm not solely to blame for the state of the world but I still would feel more accountable if I was lazily watching society's bad behavior. It feels like I'm complicit. I see what you mean though. It can feel like trying to take action is equal to spraying water on a house that was on fire like a month ago. Maybe I was born the wrong time for my sentiment to have effect.
Josh Jerome
I dunno, it feels hopeful to me that you're even asking what you personally could do. I think we're probably beyond the point of no return barring a whole and concerted effort by literally the entire species, which we all know won't ever happen anywhere close to in time. I'd like to be wrong but in full disclosure I also wouldn't mind too much if I'm not, because I do tend to think that if anything can be truly deserved in the first place, then humanity kind of has extinction coming.
Breonna Rice
If that's hopeful talk, I'm a bit worried about what your hopeless talk is. I feel desperately disenfranchised and powerless to change the course of this whole planet launching itself directly into nope-ville's deepest cirlce of hell. Sometimes... I wish it'd come sooner so I can stop wringing my hands about it. Just fuck it all. Lets pour gasoline on the flames of this garbage fire. Now seems like a grand time. Then again, I'm morbidly curious to see just how crazy it gets? I kind of want to grab some popcorn and watch the show. Ugh having emotions sucks. Not knowing how to feel, what to do, etc.
Josh Jerome
I don't think you're looking at it wrong I just think you're suffering from an over-abundance of hope that is fundamentally at odds with how fucked we all are.
Breonna Rice
This is sort of random, but I often feel at a loss as to how I can access information. Often hot or controversial information. I can't decide if my answers are just getting drowned out by Google's algorithm and the payed-for top search results or if some questions just straight up are intentionally suppressed..? Perhaps drowned out by what other people are asking a thousand times more than my question? Is that a thing where search engine companies bury undesirable information? Am I just using search engines wrongs? Another thing is I don't know how to physically do things to enact change. How does one become a part of a social movement? How does one organize a movement and gain traction with it? Do the more peaceful methods of political action result in the change we need right now? I mean we're staring down the barrel of ecological devastation, among other awful things happening recently anyway. I feel that we should as a people discuss the ugly options if or when the peaceful options fail. Don't peaceful protests and coercive action only work if the recipient has some sort of empathy? Personally, I doubt our leadership gives the most micro of fucks about us. At least not as humans. Maybe as a commodity..? Like they might care if a million or a few million people literally starved themselves to death in a hunger strike and they'd be like "Oh nooo the economyyy! Who will make and then buy my baubles now?" Am I looking at this stuff wrong?

Love you guys! Thanks for coming out with so much delicious content that I can barely keep up!! Gonna have to bing watch some episodes I’ve missed when I get the time but I can’t wait ❤️
Literally Satan
That's the sweetest god damn thing I've ever read homie. You're the funniest thiccboi ever since I've watched earlier DP episodes to now with DFF. From un patron stuck next door in Missishitti, never stop being yourself.
Luke
Thank you Paul! I've reached some really low lows this year too - I just came out as trans and it's been even harder than when I came out as gay. Honestly, having the DFF guys through all this has helped me not feel so alone. You always make me laugh or give me interesting things to think about. Thanks for sticking it out even when it's hard and through this whole thing creating content and carrying on despite the mental pain. You're awesome Paul. You never fail to make me laugh multiple times per episode!
Zared Sabretooth
Paul you're my favorite on the show as we seem to share alot of the same views and i especially get a kick when you talk about something youre passionate avout as you tend to work yourself up into a rant like i do.

Love ya Paul. I really loved your debate with Vaush. You have influenced my views on the world (along with your suggestion, Derrick Jensen) and TJ and Scotty as well. My favorite part about the vaush discussion was how it clearly exposed some of your ideas that weren't as fleshed out, in a way your friends TJ and Scotty maybe couldn't have pointed out to you in the way it needed to be. I really love the new idea you've been pusing, the Solidarity idea. I've been thinking about that idea myself, considering the house I grew up in and still live in was built off my union grandparents and I still reap the benefits of my grandfathers work. You're really on to something with that idea, and I love it. I'll do my best to bounce ideas off you when you stream and I will be shoving this down everyone's throat that I can. We need change, and you three at the pessimist productions are doing a fantastic job. Love you guys. Thanks for the 2 years of content, you've got me through a lot of shit when I have nothing to listen to and nobody to talk to. Blowjob over. <3

Holy shit Paul...I just thought I was subscribing to something I loved to watch but you actually made me feel happy...even if it's just for the moment or it lasts...you made me feel really happy that I support you guys Here's something for you though; I've been a supporter of Pessimist Productions ever since it got formed(well not like the first person but like first few episodes) so I'll always support you - great to know you appreciate your fans Also congrats on the win(s) versus Arnold lol
Ryan Sansossio
I listen to you guys almost every day. All three of you have helped me deal with my own shit, including losing my religious faith, struggling with existential questions, feeling connected to a group while everything else crumbles. This show means a lot to me and I’m glad to be a patron. Thanks for what you do, for the interesting shit you’ve taught me on the shows, for the laughs, and for being real people during a time of bullshit posing. Stupid Plebs 4 life!

I have had a blast with you guys, and thank you for every episode. I love DFF as well so many great episodes. I can't thank you enough. I used to be kinda right wingish but lately with all the bs and injustice I've flipped and started listening to vaush. Im totally on board with Paul and TJ recently. Fuck the system fuck 12 end capitalism.

Being able to laugh helped me out a bunch and I appreciate all the work each of you put into everything you put out. No matter how it turns out, I want to be a part of the journey that is DFF. In the immortal words of Bill and Ted, Stay Excellent Paul, Scotty, and TJ!

Thanks for the thank you Paul, and you shouldn’t feel bad about struggling to perform or be funny when you’re dealing with depression. I’m guessing a pretty huge part of this audience also has similar issues so we can definitely relate. Throughout it all you and the boys have been great, and the show has really started to shine even with the limitations of having to record remotely. You guys deserve the support and more, you’re doing some really excellent work. Just remember that while we may bitch and moan quite often, we as the audience love the three of you guys and would live in a lot less funny of a world without y’all. Keep your head up and thanks for all the countless hours of entertainment over the years

You three are the little bit of sanity I have in my life right now. Like a familiar old friend or comfort food, whatever metaphor like that. Y'all do so much good, and I feel the benefit between audience and entertainers here is cyclical. You show enough of your face on a screen for many to watch and people care about you, even if they've never met you. i know you're already doing this, but take care of yourself. I mean mentally especially. I know this is your job, but I hope you don't ever push yourself to work if it gets too bad. Your mental health always supersedes this show or our desire to see your, TJ or Scotty's crazy ass selves. You know that, I want you to know someone else does. Please, if you ever need to step away for a bit and regather what little sanity we can grasp nowadays, do it. We will understand. And TJ/Scotty can just make up bizzare stories and talk mad shit while you're away........XD. The benefit of you three is you can pair off and EASILY carry a show. I mean two brothers plus someone who's practically family? Chemistry's there in pairs or as a trio. Although there hasn't been alot of Paul/Scotty duo videos. I can see why, but dude, try something out with that! Anyway, stay sane; stay healthy.

Not gonna lie I started watching DP for TJ but Paul is what really kept me tuning in. When you formed into DFF I followed and haven't looked back. One of the best parts about Paul is his openness regarding his mental health. Paul has had the biggest influence on my own mental health, helping me to feel less alone. Also his indignation is often very righteous in my eyes and could be coming from my own mouth if it wasn't so elegant. This is the only patreon I'll probably ever support. Chef's table is money well spent.

That being said I love the show and I am happy to see you soldiering on to make it happen. Stay strong, Paul. Love from the fans.❤️

I recently upgraded from the buffet to the chef's table (so you probably got an extra 5 dollars from me this month, but that's fine by me), cus I can't get enough of you guys. The Grease Trap is an instant favorite too. And hey, when people spend more time at home, they have more time to kill, so why not a good podcast? No wonder your channel is growing really, and as far as I'm concerned, you guys deserve every bit of support you manage to garner. I love you guys and will continue to support you so long as you keep serving me all this delicious contento.
I went from hating you when you joined DP to greatly appreciating your opinions and perspectives. Last year, I had the most difficult period in my life, and I truly didn't care about life anymore. Now, mind you, I'm too narcissistic and self-serving to kill myself, but the thought passed my mind once or twice. The one thing that didn't change is watching the channel. I'm already cringing at what I'm writing because I have to say, I hate these types of "you guys kept me going through it" messages, but fuck it, I'll say it. From DFF to Abandon Hope to your Cynics vs. Cinema and Highdeology, the content helped at least give me something to listen to and give me a mental escape. I can't say I sympathize with how your mental low, because I don't know what you're feeling exactly, but I do empathize and hope you find the peace you guys helped foster in me. I'm a patron now, and will remain one indefinitely, in no small part because of you.

Life has been a rollercoaster from hell for most of us this year. We are all fighting our own battles and I have been fortunate as well through this, I still have a job, my bills are paid, and no one I know has gotten sick. Although my mom and mother in law both have cancer so added anxiety yay! The biggest problem for me is it's almost impossible to talk to a professional about my mental health. It's a struggle to not let depression take over, and feel the anxiety like I do just being out in out in the world. I feel for you Paul and I know that you already know this and seems so generic to say but we are all in on the struggle together. We will get to the other side of 2020. It's hard to imagine the world ever returning to what it was before, all you can do is roll with the punches. Anyway enough rambling, you guys get me through my days, I look forward to each episode of content y'all put out. My life is better with pessimist productions in it! I've never met you guys but y'all are a welcome voice that I hope to have with me for years to come. You're human, not everything has to be 100% all the time, I listen because whether it's great or not it's honest, and entertaining. You're a rock star Paul, keep it going brother! Oh yeah, and TJ and Scotty are fuckin awesome too!

I hit a low in the past year in my own mental health as well, I get where you're coming from. COVID-19 did not make it any better and these riots just made it a bit worse. I was fortunate enough to have a job through all this, was encouraged to take the double overtime (up from time and a half) and we all got paid an extra $100 a week for hazard pay + meals paid for by corporate. But for the first two months, it was hell. I had to run the front end of a Home Depot which was riddled with angry crazies who just needed their pandemic amounts of essential paint, mulch, and flooring. When I went on personal strike for mental health, my store manager called me up to make sure I was okay, then worked with me to switch roles to something less stressful. For those very short three weeks, the only thing I really looked forward to was writing music and "when's the next DFF production coming?" because they give me the comfort I need a lot of times. It's been 2 weeks now since I came back and I switched over to building materials and am starting to scrape back whatever bits of my sanity I can off the floor. I'm really glad I could help give a little more peace of mind to someone who needs it and makes me feel like I'm not alone during this whole fiasco. My heart goes out to all those affected by this bullshit and I really hope things start looking up for you Paul; everyone deserves to enjoy their life and do it their way.

The only thing that bums me out more than knowing Paul has deep depression he’s dealing with is that he’s convinced himself he’s ever put on a bad performance and wasn’t funny even one time in the history of DFF. Paul you’re a fucking thespian and so fucking entertaining to watch and listen to. You’re one of the funniest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch content from, there’d be a legit part of me missing if Paul or the Kirk brothers weren’t online anymore. Thank you for everything Paul and all the rest of the DFF boys.

I totally feel you Paul. I was going to get married and move country this year but then Covid took those plans away. I've lost thousands of euros. Thank you and the DFF crew for entertaining me when I've been going through such shit. ❤

Granted I usually listed off handedly, but I don't notice the difference. If you take that to mean you haven't been failing as hard as you think, or that you've always sucked, that's up to you :)

I live just outside Manhattan, I've seen the devastation first hand from the Riots. Fortunately my job also has not been adversely effected, I'm able to work remotely and haven't had any issues with payment. I would always listen during my commute into the city, having not commuted in several months now, I have fallen behind in my viewing. But to me it's just $5, I buy coffee more than once a month. I want to support the people who have given me entertainment for many years. For the longest time I wasn't able to support you guys financially, I've been watching TJ since he started on youtube. I was in high school, now I'm in my 30's married with kids. You guys put out great content and I want to do my part to support you.

Fucking scaring me, making me think Paul was going to leave or DFF end or be suspended.

Love ya Paul. Glad things are starting to look up for you on the mental health side. Stay salty, my friend.

Appreciate it very much Paul! You and the whole DFF crew have helped me through these difficult times. Shows like Flash Fried have given me more insight into the world than most other news sources. Glad to be a patron and a part of this community. Rock on and solidarity ✌️

You’re the man, Paul; thanks for the message, the contento, and thanks for taking care of yourself when it was required. The show wouldn’t be the same without you. In solidarity, my man. ✊

I appreciate that man. Take care.
Exiting things? Oh no! Haha, Paul you’re awesome man. I was introduced to the three of you because of that episode of DP where y’all brought on the manatee and tore into him, particularly you. I always looked forward to Story Time With Paul and your insights about the world. Your life and the experiences you’ve had are completely opposite to mine so to have someone talk about them so frankly and with humor has been as educating as it has been entertaining. You continue to make me laugh and the Kirk brothers would be remiss without you, no one can replace you. Thank you.
Josh Moronstein
Thank you! Your guys' content is worth much more than my measly 5 bucks. I grew up with TJs videos but i've learned to apreciate you just as much over the years, paul.
Toni Tafra
Love you guys. I would give even my last 5$ just to get the entertainment you guys give me on those especially shitty days. ❤️ from Croatia 🇭🇷

For some reason after reading the first two paragraphs I thought you were about to announce you were taking a break. Five bucks ain't shit for the amount of content y'all produce. Thanks for feeding the brain, boys.

The entertainment you guys have provided while I've been off work has been worth more than the 5 bucks could ever be to me. Others clearly agree, so I think that's why you guys continue to grow. I appreciate the show of gratitude, but know we all (well, mostly) are appreciative of you guys as well. Keep up the good work boys. We love ya!

Hey Paul no one is perfect. Dude smoke weed and live life because at the end of the day you are going to die......so fuck it. LOVE YOU PAUL

I genuinely enjoy everything you guys do. Even the shit people complain about or say is boring or stupid the whole show. There's at least 1 person out there that will always be a fan. You guys have the magic chemistry and Paul, you were the game changer. This is the only patreon I donate to and it's well worth it!

You're the best Deep Fat Frier. Love you paul!

Paul, you're one of the most genuine creators I've had the pleasure of following. You aren't afraid to be real and it comes across in your content. Even when I may disagree with you on individual points and ideologies I'll still keep tuning in because ik everything you do is rooted in bringing your genuine ideas into the world. Unfortunately I don't have the time or money to follow and support everyone out there that I'd like to but I'm happy to be a patron of you folks. You guys rock. Solidarity.

Thank you as well, you guys have given me so many hours of entertainment. I've been following you all since the start of DP, and was a TAA fan a bit before that as well. This year has been rough for me as well, so trust me when I say I understand how hard it can be. I went through probably the worst depression of my life. For 2 months I dealt with suicidal thoughts every day, and tried to kill myself. I've gotten a lot better the last 3 months, and while I won't lie and say it's all because of your videos, I still appreciate what you guys do. It has helped me pass the time, and most of my news comes from Flash Fried every week. I'm sorry you've been having a bad year, and I appreciate your hard work to entertain and inform us. We love you guys. <3

To be honest, this whole thing has been really bad for my mental state as well. My hours have been cut to pieces, all of my coworkers received unemployment in addition to still working and I did not, and my car decided hey, fuck you, transmission die. But without everything under the Pessimist Productions banner, I'd not have an escape.
Austin Snyder
Ok. Who told you, you aren't funny? You're my favorite pessimist. And I started watching tj from back in the day.

Hope your mental health gets a little better and it sucks that you guys couldn't upgrade your studio as you wanted to due to all of this chaos. You always make people laugh, love from Australia.

Deep Fat Fried has become part of my day to day life at this point. Having something to listen to and laugh along with has helped my mental state immensely. I suffer from depression and anxiety but whenever I throw on an episode that starts to fade away. You guys never fail to make me laugh, even when the world has gone to shit. And Paul, the ball, you’re my favorite of all. Stay safe.
