Delays in rewards and releases
Hi folks, just wanted to let you all know in case you weren't aware.
Los Angeles is currently experiencing a generational natural disaster in the form of various wildfires raging throughout the city. They've been going on for more than 48 hours now, exacerbated by the unprecedented high winds we had on Tuesday. They have caused some death and thousands of structures to be destroyed, including a huge portion of Malibu and the Pacific Palisades.
Most of the Dead Meat team is based in Los Angeles, and most of them are currently displaced. Nearly every employee here has had to evacuate their home. As of right now, all of them are safe and none of their homes have been destroyed. We hope that remains the case.
While Chelsea and I haven't evacuated our home / the Dead Meat office, we are very close to the largest fire, the Palisades. Thankfully, we're north of it, protected right now by the mountain/hills and the direction of the winds. Still, it is a situation that demands our constant attention and energy. Everyone in our house has been on edge and staying up until 6 or 7 in the morning monitoring things.
Because of these circumstances, expect delays for Dead Meat releases and Patreon rewards. The delays may continue for a few weeks, even if/when the fires are taken care of. We don't know what the aftermath is going to look like, and losing a few days of work will have knock-on effects for our schedule. To be frank, it's not a priority for us right now. Our concern is the safety and mental well-being of our team.
Thank you for understanding. Please keep our city in your thoughts. We love this stupid place and all the wonderful, flawed people who reside here. They don't deserve this.

Sending love----
Prayers, good vibes, and all that to you James, Chelsea and the Dead meat team! Much love to y'all!!!!!!!
Hope everyone is doing well over at Dead Meat praying for you all
I hope everyone comes out ok. A late schedule is better than no more content. Do what you need to, am happy to wait however long it takes. Love from Oz
Wishing the whole Dead Meat team well. Sending love from the UK.
It completely slipped my mind that you're based in Los Angeles - Please, take great care, don't worry about the video delays, that's the least of our concern!
stay safe!! we will always be here waiting for yall. 🤍
Stay safe
Your safety and wellbeing is the utmost priority. Take care and take all the time you need as a team to regroup and recover. ❤️🙏
Stay safe! We all can just rewatch Uncle Z’s resident evil count again! It was awesome! Also I highly recommend sending Burt Gummer and Zoran to combat the fires with wit and gun powder and whatever Burt can bring!
All of us little meaties are sending our love.
First priority is always stay safe, and take all the time you need to recover after this.
stay safe
praying for you guys stay safe.
Stay safe.
Hope everyone and their loved ones are safe
Please stay safe, you all need a big, massive break and you should take as much time off as you need to recover from the shitty stuff going on
Take all the time you guys need to stay safe and secure. Thank you for all you do - and take care of yourselves
Best of luck, we've had our share of disasters here on the East Coast to understand how stressful it is when homes and lives are in danger. Stay safe, we'll be here when you're all ready to come back.
Omg hope everyone is ok and remains that way! Stay afe everyone!
Wishing the best to the entire team. Fuck shedules, very glad to hear you care more about mental health and physical well-being. So happy to support this project. Please stay safe.
I hope things get better for you.
Thinking of your team and hoping you all stay safe! I'll still be here, subscribed, and ready to watch whenever you're able to return. I spent many, many weekends in LA in the mid-aughts while still in a San Diego-to-LA long-ish distance relationship with my now husband. The place and people will always have a piece of my heart.
❤️❤️❤️
Take care of yourself, I have been watching for years and will gladly keep supporting you all no matter how much time it takes.
Stay safe everyone!
Please stay safe ❤️
Stay safe we can always wait for the next dead meat episode/podcast and update live stream. Hopefully all the whole team stays safe 💜
The end of the world is never happening not on 2025 2028 or 2030 we WILL Save LA
It's not the end of the world we will save Los Angeles if they bring in choppers with water tankers gallons of them to put out the flames
tremors happens last year in my home town now this. apocalypse is coming this is a sing of the end of the world
apocalypse!!!!! it coming the apocalypse !!!

How can we help?
hope you and the rest of the team can make it through these horrible fires! prayers heading your guys’ way!
Stay safe!
Just hoping you're all safe and your homes remain okay as well!
please don't apologize james! your safety is far more important than some videos. we can wait. stay safe!
Fuck our videos and rewards. Happy to leave an open subscription and let you all focus on you and your neighbors. Stay safe!
Wishing the best for the Dead Meat team and everyone affected! Safety always comes first.
Please stay safe guys! Your safety and well being is the most important thing!
Please stay safe
Stay safe
Sending all the love in the world. Your family, friends, and team are all way more valuable than giving us rewards on time. Put yourselves first always ❤️
Hope everyone from the team stays safe.
No worries. I hope everyone stays safe.
❤️
Stay safe!
My thoughts are with you all!
Please stay safe, content means nothing if you guys aren't safe! Thinking of the whole Dead Meat team here from Australia. Sending hugs and strength.
We can definitely wait for content. The Dead Meat team’s safety and well being is much more important. 💜
Safety first, always. Take your time. Hope everyone stays safe and well.
I hope every employee is safe!
Hope the entire team remains safe
I’m praying for everyone’s safety there.
Stay Safe, you and your whole crew. No Video is worth risking a life for
Don’t worry James. You just worry about staying safe, and if they tell you to evacuate, please do. The death toll stands at 6 right now, but I’m afraid that won’t be the final number of fatalities. From the news, it looks like hell on Earth.
Please put yourselves and your team first. There's only one Dead Meat, we would rather wait forever than for you guys to put yourselves in danger.
Please be careful, that is most important right now. What's going on out there is devastating. We hope everyone stays safe 💛
The Dead Meat team’s safety comes first always.
Part of "Be Good People" is having your priorities in order, the safety of your co-workers and their families and their mental and physical health is more important than meeting a time table. I hope your home continues to be safe from the fires.
Please stay safe!! Your well-being, including your mental well-being, is the most important thing right now 💜
Your safety and that of the team absolutely takes priority
My thoughts are with all of the Dead Meat team and all of the people being affected by the fires. Take care of yourselves. I’m sorry you’re going through this.
PLEASE stay safe. any and all content can and should 100% wait until you and your team are safe and comfortable. we love you<33
We all can wait, please be safe out there
Stay safe!!
Stay safe! We love you guys and only want you all to be healthy. The videos can always come later, you all cannot be replaced. You are in my family's thoughts.
please stay safe guys ❤️
Be good people.
We love you all so much. Stay safe.
You’re doing the right thing — the safety of the team is so much more important than timely releases. Keeping all of you in my heart right now.
Stay safe dead meat!
Take care of yourselves and stay safe
Stay safe, love for everyone.
Take care of your lives and loved ones.
"Generational natural disaster" meaning corporations who would sooner burn the world to ashes than take a 1% hit to their bottom line.
The team's safety is top priority. Happy to hear everyone is ok
Stay safe! Your safety and well-being are priority ❤️
As long as all of you guys are okay, I don’t care about any delays. Stay safe guys. ❤️
I wish nothing but hope for you and for los angeles
Please don't worry about anything except staying safe, that's the priority. We'll all still be here when you're able to get back to normal. As Nouk already said, screw the schedule, you guys's safety is much more important.
Please stay safe, take as long as you guys need
Stay safe y'all ❤️

Just happy to hear the team is good and safe right now!! Love the team, hoping for the best!!!
Your safety and well-being and that of your crew is what matters right now! Do whatever you need to do. All the love.
Just worry about everyone staying safe. We'll still be here when life gets back to normal.
To hell with the schedule and rewards! You guys being safe is what matters. I hope you all are okay and didn't lose anything. Your lives are more important. Just hang on.
Safe is number one priority, screw the schedule. Also please let me know if there is any Go Fund me, or anything for any of the members, or if I can change a tier on here to help
Do whatever you need to keep everyone safe. The team is the reason most of us are here. Every one of you does incredible work. Protect yourselves and your talents.
Screw the schedule. You guys and your safety are most important right now. Anyone who would complain about that doesn't even deserve your content tbh. Stay safe, team. ❤️
Sending so much love. Stay safe it's a scary time. Wish you and the whole team the best
stay safe and don’t worry about us. your health and safety are top priority.
Our thoughts are with you! I hope the fires are contained soon and that the team and your homes remain unaffected.
Please stay safe and do what is necessary to protect yourself and the entire Dead Meat team.
Stay safe to all the dead meat team. It's terrifying to even watch on tv from the UK so I can't imagine what it's like. Take care, much love
Stay safe
Stay safe, y'all. Glad to hear you're alright! 💌❤️🩹
That’s ok James, your safety should come first before anything else. Also i’m glad you guys are ok also I’ll be praying for you guys.
Please stay safe! I'm glad to hear everyone is safe and homes are still okay.
Prayers to you Dead Meat Team and i hope everyone is staying safe and secure during this rough time. Prayers sent !
Stay safe! I myself am south of it but am far enough away that it shouldn’t hit us.
You guys focus on yourselves, your team, and everybody's well being. What I think we want as a community is updates letting us know how you guys are doing and any way we can help the team.
Do what you need to do to make care of yourself! Please let us local Meaties know if there's anything we can do to help you and the team (sending food/supplies to a pickup point, etc). Stay safe!
Hoping you all stay safe out there. We'll be here for you whenever you're able to come back 🤘🏻🖤
stay safe dead meat team praying for you guys🙏
Stay safe, everyone. We can enjoy our silly violent videos when everyone is in the clear.
my heart breaks for everyone affected by the fires 💔 so happy to hear you and the rest of the team are safe!
It is well worth the wait for the rewards and videos. The safety and well being of you and your team is way more important. Hopes and prayers for you and everyone
Oh, NOW I see why the Patron Cut of In a Violent Nature is taking too long. Hope you and you’re team survive…😢
I hope you all stay safe. Your lives are more important than the channel/brand. Much love to you and the crew.
STAY SAFE! Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help ❤️
Stay safe everyone! Your well-being comes first before this stuff! I hope everything turns out okay for you and your team
Stay Safe!
Thanks for letting us know. But please just stay safe! The safety and health of the Deadmeat team is the most important thing right now!
Everones safety is far more important than weekly content. Please be safe.
Just keep safe that’s all that matters at the moment ❤️
Please stay safe! That’s all that matters. Thinking of you all.
Totally understandable. Hope you and all the dead meat crew stay safe.
No worries. Stay safe.
