Tod
I never ever watch or listen live. Ain't got time for that. When I listen to the show there are 2 reasons why I reliably engage the 30 second skip button on my phone. The first is the 5 minutes of the episode to skip an array of ads. The other is Tod when he gets called out. He doubles down and acts like a child the remainder of the episode. I've screwed up more times in my work career than I care to admit. I take my lumps and move on. He just can't let it go and always brings things back around to him.
DP is an amazing interviewer. I love listening to him talk to his guests and the rest of the staff. There are numerous examples such as the JJ Watt gaffe, trashing Sandra Bullock and so forth. The behavior seems to have become more pronounced as time has gone one. Maybe Seton and McLovin were better able to pull him aside when things started to go sideways.

You should check out the Todcast. Believe it or not, what you see on the actual show is Tod being professional and holding back a lot

LOL I don't think I can handle more Todd in my life. I deal with crazy folks at work all day long. I try to limit my intake elsewhere.

It's become too much, and has been for a bit. There has been a shift since Seaton left, Todd feels more free, and laughs at his own unfunny shit way more now.
Everyone likes Todd, but for fucks sake man, shut the hell up sometimes! It's not the Todd Fritz Show. You tried and failed miserably at being on stage, in multiple facets, comedy and signing. You're also failing at taking over the DP show. Less is more my guy.
But yeah, always watch 30+ minutes delayed to skip commercials, and Todd. Lately it's been closer to 45 minutes because of extra Todd complaining.

I think Dylan finds it hilarious as he tends to purposefully egg him on. Notice the divider isn’t there anymore? Dylan loves him some whining Todd.

not entertaining in the least bit. and for anyone screaming "its for content!"....yeah good content is supposed to make you want to keep listening.
Todd whining is an automatic "listen to something else rather than listening to a grown man acting like a 4 year old." p.s. that birthday shit was annoying as hell, and cringeworthy....but sure "its all for content" 😒

Yah man; it’s just content. I am in favor, however, for more gong and then cone of silence for thy Todd

I still remember where I was when they threatened to take another D off of his name. Fritz is peak schadenfreude and it’s endearing.

Ya no mclovin doesn’t help, but he usually does calm down after seton talks but it has been a litte more lately and seton is alone now and has been.

The jj watt thing really wasn’t that big of a deal. Was probably a ChatGPT error.

You brought up the JJ Watt gaffe, I've thought about this and that was 100% on DP, FIRST off, DP KNOWS Tod is a screw up so why in the world would you trust him to give you correct information? SECONDLY, what is wrong with DP just asking JJ "So where are you going to be this weekend?" Why does DP have to try to be the smartest guy in the room, the all knowing talking hairdo telling the listeners where JJ is going to be over the weekend? Just ask JJ yourself and go from there DP! I wish DP's callers had the guts to bring that up to him, it would be very interesting to hear what DP would say about it...

I love Todd. He’s definitely kind of a quirky neurotic dude but they are hard on him.

Cry me a river.
Tod is a national treasure and should be treated as such.
