  • 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

  • Audio issues

    There are audio issues with the final product maybe during editing audio… I thought I was crazy and closed all windows on my phone, thinking that may have interfered with the main audio tracks, however random kinda foreboding weird sounds seem mixed into the audio….

    Maybe it’s sound feedback, or another program on while audio editing or something else. Listen to the latest episode especially during the end of it, you will see what I mean.

    I enjoy listening to this show! Just the random inter... more
