  • Where's the audience?

    I am aware that Rob is a controversial figure within the “Operator scene'; however, I question why there are seldom any guests. Is he considered Persona non grata, a status that is indeed significant? It would be advisable to invite Matt Bissonnette, as his participation could lead to an engaging discussion.

  • A lot more ads

    Fun to listen to, but there seems to be more ads per episode as the show goes on. The recent outdoorsy ad is claiming to be Rob but it sounds nothing like him? Why not just record an ad for them like all the other ones and use that?
