In truth, whether you support me or not, I will probably still be cranking out Survivor columns and Funny 115 entries and movie and TV podcasts twenty years from now because they are fun to create and because they make people laugh and because that's what I do. So if you enjoy my work, and you would like to see it continue, I sure wouldn't turn down any financial backers who would like to help out. Especially because with two kids about to start college, and college payments looming on the horizon, at the moment I can use all the help I can get. The bills around our house are about to get rather steep.
Thank you in advance for supporting my work. F Brad Culpepper!
Tiers
The $1 club - "The Beckies"
The $3 club - "The Monicas"
Monicas are super neat Patrons and they will be respected accordingly.
The $5 club - "The Cesterninos"
Yes, that's right, I am about to start the sequel to my book, When It Was Worth Playing For, and I am going to be posting the chapters here on my Patron page for this tier (and the tier above) right after I finish writing them. If you have ever wanted to be a part of a big new Survivor book (that covers the history of Marquesas - Pearl Islands(?)), now is your chance. This will be the only place people will be able to see the chapters ahead of time and offer suggestions, corrections, or some other input before I actually arrange them all into a book.
This is also the tier where I will choose co-hosts from when I bring back new Staff Picks episodes starting sometime in 2019. For now I am putting Staff Picks on hiatus while I work on my book. But don't worry, it will definitely come back once I get the book done. And this is the tier for future co-hosts.
Cesterninos get access to my new Survivor book, and they also get all the respect and the benefits that the Beckies and the Monicas get. This is a good tier to be in.
The $10 club - "The Coach Wades"
If you stay at the Coach Wade tier for six months, here's what you get: A free autographed copy of my book, "When It Was Worth Playing For." A free autographed copy of EVERY book I write in the future, either Survivor or non Survivor. You also get a free T-shirt whenever I finally get around to producing those. Basically just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. You want a lock of Cochran's hair? You want me to do a Staff Picks episode about your childhood home movies? I'll see what I can do.
Basically, Coach Wades get everything the Beckies, Monicas, and Cesterninos get, you get access to the chapters in my new book, plus free Mario books for life and (I swear this is coming one day) a free T-Shirt. Just because you are so awesome and because I heard you say "Dragonslayer."
The Coach Wade tier is basically the Mario's Patron Page equivalent of declaring Prima Nocta.
