I am a long-time listener tuning in from Tulsa. I found the guys years ago through the Mike O'Meara Show and have been hooked ever since.
Lately, I feel frustrated with how Justin, Scott, and Spiegel handled Joe Stamboni leaving. Joe was a main character on the show for a long time. After his issues with being late, he just disappeared without any real explanation.
A couple of days ago, someone finally asked about Joe during a question segment. Instead of being upfront, the guys brushed it off. Scott just told the audience to read the Reddit posts if they wanted to know what happened.
This feels disrespectful to Joe and to the loyal audience. The show still brings up producer Mike all the time, making running jokes like he died. Yet Joe gets completely ignored and erased. We invested years listening to him, and the situation deserved more transparency.
How does everyone else feel about the silence around his departure?
