  • It Just Isn’t the Same Without Ryan and Steven

    The pod just isn’t the same since they got rid of Ryan and Steven. It used to feel like hanging out with a group of friends, which was a huge part of what made the podcast fun. Now it feels more like two dudes talking at me. The chemistry and personality that made the show special are gone, and I’ve lost interest in listening.
