Last week we had a lot of people commenting on our most recent induction ceremony into our Hall of Greats. This week we have a lot of people commenting on those comments. New ideas, new gripes, and a clear winner for longest Patreon post of the week. There are many other topics discussed, which I’ll address in the latter half of Business Questions, but it’s remarkable how many directions we could take our quarterly special stream. We have a scheduling meeting at the end of this week and I’ll be sure to go through the whole batch.

DISCLAIMER: I take questions from the post comments on the previous week’s episode here on Patreon. You can ask a business-related question which I may answer live, or a personal question which I may answer below. If your business question was not answered live, I either replied to it in the comments, or referenced the answer in a recent episode. Feel free to inquire why your question wasn't included, or ask the same question a second time if you think I may have missed it. I will edit your comment/question before reading it live to ensure the show moves as quickly as possible. I typically grab all the questions by midnight (PT) the night before each episode.

Hey Mr. Jones! This is inspired by you asking out loud last episode about when I post my questions each week. For your reference, in MOST cases, I typically will write up the question (from an idea or topic that may have come to mind over the previous week that will I write down just in case I don’t forget) DURING the episode of Cup while I’m listening, and I do this for two reasons: 1.) To try and make sure I’m not reasking a question (or one much too similar) that was on that very episode so I make sure to listen and see if I’m also I’m inspired by an answer you give OR your editorial and 2.) To make sure I remember I get my question in. As someone who ALWAYS wants to have routines/schedules, it makes up for my ever-deteriorating memory. THIS very post is an exception as I’m still writing after you’ve signed off (speaking of which, thanks for showing of Galaxy of Heroes!). To be clear, not from the first question I submitted for the ever Cup have I cared on being first. Sure, I’ve enjoyed the joke from time to time and I’ll only ever bother you if on the off chance my submission gets skipped. It’s just no one else (thankfully) is crazy like me in having the question written up in Word, copy-pasted into Patreon’s comment bank, and I hit enter when you play the closing graphic/tune. SO! This huge preamble actually leads to the actual question for this week: Do you have a preference as to WHEN I (or more aptly any other Patron) should post their questions for Cup? Or so long as its until Sunday evening, it should always be like it’s been since you’ve switched the weekly live format? I know me doing it right at the close of an episode for the FOLLOWING week is detrimental for me to stay timely as something could happen/is announced over the course of the week that I may ask about (Hall of Greats is an excellent example, but in cases like that, I know I’m not the only person have interest in such topic and fellow Patrons never disappoint in asking about said topics.), which could ultimately render my question pointless or maybe I’m asking about something that may have taken place at a MINIMUM of eight days prior to you even reading it. Still, something I thought about when you asked aloud, so I thought I would use this week’s submission to clarify. Thanks again for your time and have a wonderful rest of your day! Cheers! QUESTION: In response to you asking aloud towards the end of business questions last week about when I submit my question (For the record, In MOST cases, as you sign off the episode), do you have a preference as to when anyone should leave a question (as in primarily over the weekend prior to the episode as opposed to midweek) or as long as any question or comment is in by Sunday evening, is the current format of taking them from Monday to Sunday the most efficient way to collect questions?

Hey Jones, have a suggestion for you and specifically Huber. The recent Spiderman : No Way Home trailer just dropped and has shattered all kinds of viewership records. It just passed Endgame as the most viewed trailer in its first 24 hours. So my suggestion is, do a reaction to these. Any of the Allies but specifically Huber makes a ton of sense given his passion for the MCU. Isla is obviously very passionate for film as well so I could see these types of reactions be a good fit for her as well. I don't think every big movie trailer needs a reaction of course, but something like this feels like a no brainer. Great way to get more viewers for the channel, and the reaction video would be relatively short too. And while reacting in the studio would be nice, this is something that can obviously be done pretty easily at home as well. Thoughts?

Hello Brandon. Two questions this week if I may: 1. In your Riders Republic Hands-On Preview you’ve said that the beta will start tomorrow, but your video was published on August 25, which was the last day of the beta (there was even a mention of beta dates in video description). Did something happen between shooting and video going live? 2. In this month’s Q&A you were answering questions in random order instead of usual submission order (I think you’ve used “See previous responses” list, which shuffles entries in some way). Is this how it will always be from now on or was this a one-time experiment?

Morning Jones, Just curious on how you and all the other allies came to the decision for what Easy Livin now dubbed Easy Chillin is now. Was this 12 hour marathon stream your guy’s first idea? If not what other Easy Livin alternatives were you guys considering? L&R and here’s to a great weekend…..and hopefully some SSX from you 🤞

Heya Jones, Oh my goodness, really? Well, I hope someone reported that. But when Easy Allies falls in love, does it feel wild, beguiled, or like a simpering, whimpering child?
