Pretty much how I feel. Listening to a bunch of a middle aged men spend 30 minutes talking about their doctors or give a thrilling account about how one time a lady in an airport was rude to them isn't really doing it for me. I'd much rather them talk about the next episode than hear Rob's earnest opinion about preventive medicine or anything about LA traffic.

Well, you guys have bad opinions and should feel extreme shame. The podcasts where they just talk about random stuff are and always have been the best ones. I wouldn't give a poo poo if they never spoke about episodes again because it's always just them going "hah, yes, that was funny, I remember that" which is boring. Their tangents and bullshit IS the podcast

I agree however that the tangent episodes are also very good.

Oh somebody has a funny story? That's 45 minutes right there  I bet their end plan is to get us down to realtime, one season per year.

Volte posted:Not liking the filler episodes is one thing but which podcast doesn't have ads I've seen plenty of podcasts that sell out but put them all at the end so you don't have to skip bullshit in the middle of an episode. I also liked Rob saying "why do people think we had plastic surgery?" with a straight face.

i sit in traffic on the way home for about an hour and fifteen minutes, and i couldn't make it through the entire episode. i tried. it really is peak self indulgence for the gang to make an episode of their comedy show just some doctor reading numbers from a medical chart and dryly explaining how HDL and LDL are different and that a 0.8 is better than a 0.9 or whatever. hooooly poo poo, guys. of the ~60% i listened to, charlie is the rare saving grace with some self deprecating humor about being unhealthy.

I turned it off on the first part when Glenn was talking about the battery of tests he'd undergone that as a poor I've never had, I couldn't care less what rich people do on their rich people insurance.

In Sweden at least taking a comprehensive test like that would be around 100 bucks (it's something I do once a year)

"All of these numbers are well within normal ranges..." "Yeah, but who has the ~best~ number?" Obviously not going down as a classic episode, but as someone rapidly approaching mid-40s I didn't hate it. Now if I could just get my hands on some of that good good Charlie blood...

anatomi posted:Really? The cheapest place I've found in Sweden is Werlabs, and if you want to run the same battery of tests as the Gang it'd land at roughly $275 (because companies like Werlabs group their tests in packages; you can't pick and choose). And AFAIK they don't check your blood pressure. Basically all of the big tests like kidney, liver, testosterone, cholesterole, diabetes etc (31 markers in total) are part of the basic package in werlabs which costs 128 bucks right now

It helped to watch this one at 1.5-2x speed on YouTube. Also hope Meg keeps reading the subreddit and tries to take what worthwhile feedback she can, as she’s hinted at in the past. The live shows and the two-part health derail compounded a bit, seemed better when they had an episode-based pod and a conversation pod alternating. I grew up in LA and live in SD so hearing their stories of going to an in&out drive thru or dining in La Jolla is fun, but the audience seemed happier when they mixed in episode shows too.

That was some real bad pod. Also Robs forehead looked seriously Botoxed there for a while. It would only kinda wrinkle.
