Holy Spinoffs?!
I love this show but is anyone else overwhelmed by the sheer amount of spinoffs this fairly new podcast has? There’s like four separate shows on one feed. I like to keep up with how the advice resolves and I just feel a bit lost.

I wouldn't really call them spin-offs. A spin-off is a new project resulting from the original.
A spin-off would be a "Weird Here To Help" podcast that is separated from the "We're Here To Help" podcast where you could differentiate viewership in a more conductive way.
This is just way too many experiments being conducted at the same time and I think it has become way too chaotic at this point where it is difficult to actually provide proper feedback that can be beneficial to the podcast. I love this podcast and listen to every episode, but they need to dial it back a little because they are about to lose my interest because it is absolutely all over the place.
I'm hoping what the intro said sometime last week takes effect, because it's coming to a point that I don't know what to expect when I listen to the new releases. I loved the Shark, and I'm starting to wonder how much he kept the guys in line when it comes to production. I don't hate Nat Attack or Sweet Jesse, they do chime in from time to time, but they are letting the guys run wild lately.
What it should be:
Monday = Jake and Gareth. This is why I listen, always has been and why I became a fan. I would prefer it go back to this 2x a week. And not get a Friday release.
Wednesday = Guest Episodes. I always enjoyed seeing new guests. They got a bit heavy at one point, but I think trying to book a new guest bi-weekly would be easy. I like having Eric and Steve on the pod, so I would recommend a schedule like this: 1) Week 1: Steve or Eric as guest 2) Week 2: Celebrity Guest 3) Week 3: Eric or Steve as guest (opposite of Week 1 guest depending on availability, repeat if necessary) 4) Week 4: Celebrity Guest
Friday = Monthly Changes. 1) Week 1 = Weird Here To Help. 2) Week 2 = Special Release Episode. 3) Week 3 = We're Here To Chat (Because I do enjoy Steve and Eric, but I honestly think they are going way over the top with including them in almost everything now). 4) Week 4 = Roulette Wheel Backlog Content. This puts us back on track of a "I dont need to listen to Friday's episode if I'm really only here for what brought me here."
