  • Respectfully, change

    Been listening to this pod since 2013, the tfm podcast days. I didn’t mind when it began skewing to a more female demographic because the content was still hilarious and the format worked. It’s just kind of unbearable now. Go back to weekly guest driven participation and listener emails. Bring back a classic shelb or Mansamp type producer. Miss old train, this current iteration is a step back. Said with love because I really do want to enjoy what Jared is doing.

  • More rifs, less burping, slurping, gulping, and re-reads PLEASE

    I’m a fan of the pod overall but it’s obvious that Jared is not investing into these shows the way he used and the way that he does in Uup. I have recommended to friends and they always complain about the lack of editing. I’d love to hear more fun talk and less slurping, burping, gulping, and re-reading. Please drink your coffee and scan your emails/stories BEFORE the pod. Your whole “I want to read it with you” is just you being lazy. Cmon. It’s like the crowd work of podcasting. I don’t want t... more

He Ends It After 2 Awesome Months, HELP Me With My Wedding Speech, and HOW Do I Avoid Vacationing with an Annoying Couple - MONDAY MAILBAG
Q: What is your initial advice for writing a wedding speech that balances humor with meaning given the writer's history with the groom and the deceased fiancĂŠ?
Use the story you already have as the core, keep the focus on the couple, and weave in the fiancĂŠ only as it serves the narrative. Make the deceased's presence a meaningful through line, not a memorial, ensuring the speech feels honest, heartfelt, and fitting for the celebration.
