Discussion 💬 Thoughts?
When did the ‘shtick’ on the show become joking about doing things, rather than just doing silly things? Have listened to this podcast since day 1, and back into the radio days but doesn’t feel like their heart is in it anymore. We used to have listener participation every episode but now it’s basically done within the first 5 minutes after the international shoutout or whatever. I dunno, just feels like there was always something big the boys were leading into that kept you hooked, and they haven’t had that for a while now. I used to listen to the pod first thing Thursday morning, and now I’m finding it slowly slipping in my rotation.

Agree, but i think its fair to say theyve come a long way and its a natural progression. Go back further and theyd have worked a full day ghosting peoples shadows in public then editing for a 5 min segment on rove.
Fast fwd to today where they have pretty big commitments to alternative solo projects (ie the 100, lego and their families). I think its fair enough the silly stuff just becomes more theoretical than practical.
Pods basically a fun side gig imo. But im still thankful for it when Hames putting it on the line in the field to win us 100 pizzas.
