im torn on the one hand I don't really give a gently caress about stav on the other hand its kind of fun and feels like the fanbase's logical next step for us to have an ex-cohost who we all poo poo on now. like that's part of the growing process, it seems disingenuous to ignore it

in truth we follow our host and friend, Adam Friedland, so whatever he says I'll go with

i think it's weird that everyone's suddenly making GBS threads on him as if they always hated him, but never said anything while he was on the show, so for that reason i think it's stupid. however, i do encourage everyone to report on what nick passive aggressively says about him in each episode.

i never visited them or the subreddit but that's what i've heard, that people were unironically making GBS threads on adam and stav for things nick said over the years

stav grated on me early on when i first started listening, then slowly grew on me like lots of other people. since covid started it's been weird though, and the strict one hour recordings seemed like they just weren't having fun. it's amazing how happy and creatively driven nick and adam seem to be, moreso than even at the very beginning

I’d love to see a fake Fitness Log Cabin post making fun of Stav’s journey.

“Sorry guys, I had lost 30 pounds but then my dad was mean to me so I gain 40. But I promise next month I’ll be the 20,000 step bastard”

My gay post about Stav:
Stav made the show funnier by being the laugh track and was open to riffing with Nick, or going to cartoon dream to imagine levels that Nick could make fun of. Yeah, the past year or two we saw Stav disgruntled and unfunny, but the man was a part of some of the best bits.

Nick will be the one who breaks it first but in a much more calculated manner, then Stavros will have a big sad fat man whine and release how he feels to the public.

It's 100% Stavros just didn't like Nick anymore or hanging out with him, that's what it boils down to, nothing else. Was it because of fat jokes? At least a bit.

Maybe he got another gig, maybe he didn’t. Sometimes it’s just time to move on. Sometimes you take too long on the lunch break, down at the river, way down low.

I seriously don't know how long Nick can last with this bit. Adam is getting quite cocky and stepping on Nick's jokes and there will come a point in time where Nick is going to lose it on him. Mark my words

I don't hate him, it's just super funny to watch him attempt a complete 180 into trying to become a mainstream comedian. When he first started posting standup clips it was cool and I subscribed to him, but even before he left it was all starting to become samey. His channel is already beginning to repost old clips from a couple months ago except with a wacky thumbnail.

More importantly, TAFS achieving the kind of success Stav left the show to pursue would be incredibly hilarious which is why some of us are talking about it.

Nick posting the standup clips seems more mocking Stavros than him trying to do something similar as well. It loving rules.

i mean I think before everybody assumed they all hated the show and were tired of doing it, so nobody really blamed stav in particular for being a drag. but obviously when the one guy leaves and the new show is dramatically better and it seems like the problem was actually just him it's going to color peoples perspective

years ago (2017?) I was at a bar in DC and I didn't listen to the show yet but I knew Stav's laugh and I heard it from behind me

I went up to him to say hello and he seemed excited to get recognized and we shook hands but I was kind of drunk and I said "I'd know that dumbass laugh anywhere" and he promptly stormed out onto U St

I've felt bad about that for years
