All of the information is in the video but if you come to RUclips looking to do a little reading, I guess I can scratch that itch. We're starting a Patreon. We will release one piece of content there every week. This content includes the return of Pretty Good, the first-ever Secret Base podcast, early release content, patron mailbags, longform written Dorktowns, and lots of experimentation or ideas we haven't even come up with yet. We'll want your help there. We also want a place for more interaction, for everyone who knows and enjoys Secret Base to go and know and enjoy each other. Again, the video said things so much better than this so please check that out.

CARD SHOW MENTIONED, WE ARE SO BACK CARD SHOW FANS
that bob hamelin card is etched into my very soul
Can we pool up 5mil you reckon?
I would pay extra if it meant we got another season of card show lol
There are dozens of us! Dozens!!!!
card show heads have been waiting for this moment for years. decades. centuries even
It's crazy that Pretty Good is the least likely to get a sponsorship because they're the most poignant and meaningful.
Randall Cunningham Seizes the Means of Production is one of my all time favorite stories.
I am thrilled you're taking steps to tell more stories like it.
I hope that subversive content like that is still a part of Secret Base going forward.
I don't agree with Jon's politics but at least he isn't terrified of putting politics in his incredible work.
Secret Base should have THAT ethos. Tell the story, damn the haters.
There is no place for art and humanity and the beauty of the gods' creation in an algorithm. Algorithms are soulless and sterile and destroy anything that is pure of heart.
@@SimuLord Exactly why concerning people should directly support creatives we like.
@@cartergeorge1545 I'm just glad I'm finally at a point in my life where I can put my money where my mouth is on that. I feel for the folks who legit can't afford to support creators they love. We're all getting squeezed like lemons in the corporate lemonade machine.
@@cartergeorge1545 agreed. Sports are such a potent space for analyzing politics, economics, and culture. Jon's willingness to confront that fact is huge part of what makes him special in the world of sports journalism.
You had me at the history of slipping on banana peels
For real. I'm unreasonably excited about that one.
Ok, cobalt
A FULL SEASON OF PRETTY GOOD?? JONATHAN U BEAUTIFUL BOI(S)
Best opening sentence to a Jon Bois video since "In 2016 the Cleveland Browns have this really weird problem that reminds me of a chess problem please don't go where are you going suppose the board looks like this."
Which Video was that?
Terell Pryor problem
Instantly became a worse QB because he was no longer a WR to throw to 🏈
I'm not sure the comments sections of Falcons pt. 7 and USWNT beef history are ready for 3 hours of Politics Jon but I'm all for it
Its gonna be glorious! It's all I've wanted since the Jack Bauer video on the Jon Bois channel.
I mean, the comments sections of the Fighting in the Age of Loneliness eps weren’t too feisty so it might be alright
Every video without fail there's a comment saying 'we like sports and we don't care who knows'
The comment section on the USWNT beef history is the reason I'm too afraid to ever admit to liking sports IRL
- Card Show flash elicited a genuine belly laugh from me
- Watcher crying screaming throwing up etc right now
- I can't subscribe to this fast enough
- Love y'all
love you too pete
@@SecretBaseSBN Pete is my wonderful husband born in the year 972 you keep your grubby hands off him
The watcher shade 😂
I hope to God "A full season of Pretty Good" implies Episode 4 is finally returning in some form.
What was episode 4?
It was about Stanislav Petrov, aka the man who saved the world.(it was lost at some point and Jon said it wasn’t coming back). Emplemon has a good 45 minute video on him in a similar style to Bois if you’re looking for the next best thing.
Has this been confirmed? I will genuinely sign up just to watch that episode
Man, I loved Card Show. Now I just need to find 999,999 other people and we can bring it back!
There's already 474 of us! Only 999,526 to go!
475
476
Or just 9,999 people who $100 love it. Or 999 people who $1000 love it.
Really, you just need one passionate lottery winner.
I'M HERE
Usually when a channel puts out a Patreon info video or some sort of channel update they're just sitting in front of the camera with an info dump. The legend formatted this vid just like a normal episode. Legend.
He is the legend
Jon, your Pretty Good videos are, or should be, the template of what modern online infotainment should be. I sent "Dumbest Boy Alive" in a RUclips mix playlist to a girl I liked. I played the DeVry basketball saga *in full* at a house party, and everyone watched. Just a few weeks ago, I bonded with some new acquaintances by showing them your Lawnchair Larry tribute. And I still get a lip tremble and knot in my stomach every time I revisit THAT moment of the Bob Beamon piece.
In other words, you are a literal inspiration to a tired cynic who is inspired by very little in the world these days, and I will be subscribing immediately to your highest tier.
In other other words, AAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
❤
DeVry has a basketball ball team.
@@scottdebrestian9875 When you have to shoot footage from an air vent for a team virtually nobody knows about
Devry and Lonnie Smith are the best episodes imho
Man I'm really thinking about that "5 million dollars a month to bring back Card Show" offer that show was hilarious and I still regularly rewatch it
This will be the first time I've ever subscribed to a Patreon for a channel that has a corporate parent-I wish you guys would go full Defector/Second Wind and go independent.
This would be my second go around, but the first for me was Giant Bomb. I don't regret that, but I hope Secret Base learns a lot of lessons from those guys (both from successes and failures)
hope this is structured such that they could take the patreon with them in such a situation
@@willow2893 If it's anything like what happened with The Escapist/Second Wind, they just started a new one and once word got out, everyone just canceled their Escapist donation and put it toward Second Wind (or, like me, signed up fresh because of that whole corporate-parent thing.)
If Jon ever ends up in an uncomfortable meeting involving Vox Media HR and some corporate hedge fund suit and we get a successor site (and I wonder how much IP would have to be rebranded because one presumes Vox owns "Dorktown" and even "Pretty Good", so maybe we'd be watching Geekland and Half Decent?), I'm about 99.9999% sure that as soon as the news broke on the Internet (or broke the Internet...RUclipsrs would be all over that news story for clicks), everyone would move their donation.
@@Bundle85 Giant bomb mention, poggggg
Given recent events this video scared me but this is a very fair deal
we were genuinely nervous given the timing but cannot stress it enough - the RUclips y'all know isn't changing, this is a way for us to be able to make more stuff and try shit out without worrying about the ~business~
@@SecretBaseSBNWe appreciate it, thanks guys. Secret Base has retained that early SBNation authenticity that made it popular in the first place.
As long as people like Kofi and Jon are in positions of EDITORIAL CONTROL, I'll be happy with the product.
Please forgive me for living under a rock, what are the recent events?
@@DuckyRubber7Watcher (popular channel spun off by two former very popular BuzzFeed employees) announced they were leaving RUclips to launch their own streaming platform, which would be 100% paywalled. Details and background are too myriad to all list here, but suffice it to say the announcement was abrupt, wildly tone deaf, and burned 7-some years of audience goodwill overnight. They released a classic RUclips Apology Video™ after this weekend and hard rolled back the project.
@@DuckyRubber7If you don’t know it’s for the best. Bless your ignorance I wish I was you fr
This might be some of the best value I’ve ever seen for a Patreon. Especially in the wake of recent events on RUclips…great work respecting your audience as always secret base!
Jon Bois would beat Steven Lim in a boxing fight
lmao i was about to mention that but held off thinking i was too slow to comment
@@wotintarnation8388 in basketball terms Jon vs Steven would be like LeBron vs Tobias Harris
As a Sixers fan seeing the words “Tobias” and “Harris” in that order gets me going on an expletive filled rant that includes terms like “larceny,” “worst contract in Philly sports,” “anti clutch loser,” and “seriously, this guy over Jimmy Butler? Are you kidding me?! Ben Simmons is cancer!”
100%! I've never subscribed to any Patreon. Hell, I didn't even have an account there. But 2 mins in this video and I was already subscribed.
ALSO does this mean that we can get episode 4 of Pretty Good back???
Unsure. The last thing Kobe said of it in 2018 was that the rights to one of the songs was in legal hell, which is why it was never re-released.
@@serraramayfield9230 I'll break into Kanye's house and steal the rights deed myself if I have to
@@serraramayfield9230 I'm going to guess it was Kayne's song.
@@alec1115 iirc yes
@@serraramayfield9230 Just re-edit it to swap out the song, _especially_ if it was the Kanye one.
I've said before I would pay for more Pretty Good
I will keep my word
We've got to get a billionaire addicted to card show it's the only way
Tony Khan from AEW maybe?
Tony Khan from AEW maybe?
Very reassuring to see they'll all be free on RUclips eventually. I guess given recent events that's more likely, but I like to think you'd have done that either way.
I thank those who'll pay out to see it early and so make it possible for the rest of us. Best of luck.
Please forgive me for living under a rock, what are the recent events?
@@DuckyRubber7 A RUclips channel called Watchers paywalled a large amount of their content for a premium service.
@@DuckyRubber7another RUclips channel called the watcher built a platform on making true crime content among other things. And the other day they said they were making a paid play for where all their content would be. Which means their content would only be accessible by paying and they were also removing all their previous content off youtube as well. It was panned by everyone and rightfully so as they were leaving their fanbase behind, forcing you to pay if you want to watch them at all.
@ComptonKFC Thank You :)
Those random ass columns on absolutely anything that were on the Secret Base website from like 2021 were such a lifeline for procrastination in my old horrible job. I just went to check if there were any new ones recently and been rewatching Dorktowns instead. Will be subbing, love y'all
I unapologetically love Card Show, Ryan yelling "HIS NAME IS HAM!" while looking through stuck-together CFL cards is still an all time fave line for me.
I just got a Perot/Stockdale ‘92 hat for my birthday, can’t wait to subscribe!!
Pretty Good on Larry Walters is one of my favorite videos on RUclips
Bring back „The Worst“ please
I’ve been on RUclips for about 11 years and a lot of my favorite content creators had Patreons that I’ve never signed up for.
This one will be my first. I love you Jon Bois
I know that I speak for myself and the dozens of other Card Show fans when I say that The People want to see Jon eating more old gum.
I was ready for this four years ago but I'm just glad it's here now.
PlEase TRy and see if One Video in particular can be released.
this is the first time i've gotten particularly hype about a channel starting a patreon
New season of pretty good. I wasnt expecting to cry first thing in the morning. My emotions are going to be all haywire all day.
I normally don't like patreon stuff for youtube content, but I really like how you guys are approaching this. Making the same content available, but only later for free users. I hope this ends up being a home run for you guys, you make some of the most interesting stuff on youtube, even for a non-sportsfan.
I think of all the videos you've put out, your team history videos are the ones I enjoyed the most. But they also probably take the most work, and are definitely the longest in running time. So I understand if you can't really pump those out more than once or twice a year. They're worth waiting for.
Successfully managed to sign up for the Patreon before the end of the video
God bless y'all and everything you do.
Eagerly awaiting the return of Lunch Judgement and Roster Cuts.
If I have to wait the rest of my life for 20021, it'll be worth it.
Love the upcoming schedule Jon, thanks for everything you do.
I have never even considered signing up for anyone’s Patreon. That being said, in the name of The Great LARRY WALTERS, I can’t wait to give you my $5 a month!
I feel the card show deal is a little unfair, very few people have $5,000,000 to give away at all, let alone monthly.
I always wished I could have a more direct way to regularly support you folks! I love your content truly, and I'm looking forward to it!
I have never been more excited to subscribe to a Patreon before, thank you for all y'all do at Secret Base!
Pretty good was how I found you. And I got to say at the time it was one of the best things on RUclips I hope you bring it back to its full glory.
Ive been putting off buying merch since I wanted to support you all without buying schtuff - but now I am beyond excited to support you in this way! Congrats and i'm hyped!
Excited to watch the episodes of Pretty Good when they come out on patreon, and then also watch them again when they later come to youtube
Thank you so much for your content. I've been watching almost from the beginning on RUclips. I'll gladly subscribe to support the content I love. Thank you for being amazing people and for making amazing content!
I'm so happy about this, my favorite creator of all time bringing back my favorite series of all time. Thank you for finding a way to make it work
Pretty Good is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest independent series of all time. I can recite Koo Dae-Sung from memory. This makes me SO happy.
Alright I’ll be honest, my initial thought was jeez really a Patreon account? But yea that makes a lot of sense and happy to see pretty good can make a come back. Just glad you guys aren’t planning to slow down on making content.
Pretty good is my favorite series on youtube. I'm so glad to hear there's a plan to bring it back!
Nothing better than when Jon breaks out a calendar
Your Dorktown multi episode documentaries on the history of teams/players are my favorite by far. The more statistics and charts, the better. Oh yeah, chart party episodes are a close 2nd.
This video contains some of the content I've always wanted from Secret Base, a breakdown on the thought processes behind the videos themselves. Sort of a behind the scenes window.
never rushed to Patreon this fast before.
Excited to see what comes next!
I hope you do live shows again in the future! Kicking myself everyday for missing the Seattle show.
Pretty Good coming back might just be the best thing I've heard all year!
Jon Bois making a Jon Bois type video to promote a Patreon for Jon Bois type content is the most Jon Bois thing ever. I love it.
I’m so happy your doing another Pretty Good about a show/movie. That Jack Bauer video is one your best ever it’s hilarious.
This is awesome! So much content to tide us over for the release of 20021 (will it be 20025 now…?)
I've never subbed to a Patreon before, but the return of Pretty Good might change that. Those videos (the ones still up, at least) remain some of my favourite videos ever released on RUclips.
I've never wanted to sign up for a patreon so bad I love u guys
I've never signed up for a patreon so fast
Excited to see new Pretty Good is on the way! I wonder, will Patreon subscribers be able to see the old Pretty Good episodes that got taken down, about Stanislav Petrov (ep. 4) and poker (ep. 8)? This seems like as good a time as any to reupload them without the copyrighted music or anything else that got them taken down in the first place.
I've never been so excited to spend money lol
You have literally completely changed the art form of RUclips videos. You will genuinely be studied decades from now in universities by academics like how academics in film schools discuss Orson Wells and Citizen Kane. I really mean that. Because if you look at the state of RUclips documentaries and video essays these days they're almost all Boisian style documentaries. You've had such a profound effect on absolutely everyone. You're like the Beatles of online video making. No hyperbole.
In a few decades when the art form is taken as seriously as films are these days, your impact will be studied in every university in the world and I really mean that.
I rewatch all the Pretty Good episodes at least yearly. They are the greatest content I have ever watched on RUclips. This is terrific news
I've never used patreon but this channel moves the needle for me, excited for the podcast especially and would like to support the channel in general
I have avoided patreon for multiple reasons, but this is no-hesitation for me.
I am so happy right now thank you Jon
I'LL BE THERE. Been watching since 2017, it's good to see Pretty good come back.
jon i will support you at all costs, so relieved to hear and see you
Pretty Good coming back? That's more than Pretty Good, that's probably the best news I have heard yet this year!
Thank you Secret Base! It's nice to see how transparent your team has been in needing to include advertising. Shoe-horning ad placement in sports media is one of the most distracting elements of enjoying endless hours of new content.
The Vikings and Falcons series are some of my favorite content I have watched and I recommend it to everyone I know. Would love to see any other types of long form content like that.
this might be one of the few patreons that I might actually consider subbing too if it's at all as good as your other content like the vikings documentary. jon bois casually dropping a 7 hour documentary for free. also should give people option to sub through RUclips members
Please do whatever you can to reupload pretty good ep. 4. Even if it means removing the disputed music and leaving part of the video muted. It’s a story worth telling and we’d all love to watch it
the marathon pretty good is still one of my favorite videos on youtube
I’m usually not one to fling money at Patreon.
But Jon (and the rest of Secret Base for that matter) legitimately produces some of my favorite content on the Web.
For you, good sir, I am happy to oblige.
Well now i want to rewatch the 24 episode of Pretty Good
Lol that's exactly what I'm gonna do, I'm so glad they are making this series systematized.
Never subscribed to a patreon, but pretty good is more than pretty good so will help support it
Huge news - congrats and thank you!!!
YES! More Jon Bois videos about random topics tangentially related to sports! This is why I subscribed in the first place.
I love you guys. Thank you for being so awesome.
I didn't even watch the video before I signed up on the Patreon. I *have* to support you guys.
Can't wait for the new season of Pretty Good!
One thing though, is 20021 still happenning? I'll wait as long as it takes because I know it'll be amazing.
I am getting ready to start a new job and I'm broke right now, but this will be something I contribute to in June! I hope we get more Card Show; I find myself going back and rewatching the series at least once a year.
“Card Show” in the corner haunted me the whole video. Thanks Jon.
you had me at the 2015 era. This reform series should be baller🔥
Actually jumped with excitement when he announced a full season
I love that this is a Secret Base patreon, but mainly just so you can get more of that sweet, sweet Jon Bois content
Jon Bois, your stories on Pretty Good is the most entertaining sports content available. Ever. Sponsors should have been lining up to attach themselves to it.
Neat, good luck to you all!
There’s no project I want to support more than this. I can’t wait for the return of Pretty Good.
EXTREMELY excited for this
I have almost no money to spare (living in Argentina, am I right?) so it's very difficult to afford a Patreon every month, but even then, I can't thank you guys enough for bringing pretty good back. I had very dark thoughts in my head, and didn't know for how long I could hold it all in. But seeing my fav all time series come back is something worth living for, even if I have to wait almost a full year. You don't know how much this matters to me, thank you
hey there, i'm sorry to hear life has been so difficult but whether it's watching a pretty good or watching the sunset or seeing someone you love smile - there's always beauty in life and the world is so much better with you in it. we see you and hear you and can't wait to have you help guide the path we're going on
Hi Jon,
Glad to see that you found a way to continue the series that started it all.
And I gotta say, your writing has inspired a number of things I’ve written over the last few years.
Congrats on a successful career making videos like this.
You are a great narrator and storyteller!
And now I need to rewatch the old episodes of Pretty Good.
anything to keep these videos goin i will support lol
You guys are about to make so much money
I have never asked for anything more in life than the chance to pay for more jon bois video releases
Okay I was hoping maybe we could get just ONE pretty good episode, but A WHOLE SEASON? Dear lord it's gonna be glorious
“Pretty Good” is back, consider me signed up!!
Foul Play / Made in Mississippi is probably my favorite YT series on this site
The road to 5 million!
Your talent is making uninteresting things interesting and finding the humanity in it. Message board argument video really proves that.
Could not join fast enough to support a pretty good deal! Also, I’ll join the calls to re-release Episode 4 of Pretty Good there if possible. :)
If the lost episodes of pretty good are on there im fully in
You should add a “pay what you want” since I would gladly pay y’all 20-30 a month
eric - we appreciate that sentiment so, so very much and for now will happily have you in the $10 tier and then if your pockets are too heavy, i'll send you my personal venmo. or do a charity. damn it pretend i said charity first
@@SecretBaseSBN I'd be willing to do the same!
