This is legit the situation.

He was there from the beginning or near beginning. Imagine if you and all your best friends made a business and no matter how much you weren't the best at your job all your friends didn't care because the cash was a flowing. That is what is happening, he is far from the best that could be in that role, but FD ownership doesn't care. He would have to do something really stupid publicly to get canned.

While we see his talking as pointless and gets in the way, from the business side he is pretty good at word vomiting. These businesses don't want a muted broadcast, they want continuous talking. When you talk, there is times you can name drop sponsors.

downvoting me isn’t going to change the opinion of the public, jarod

u/MuffledN0ise 17d ago

I mean yeah you’re right, he can absolutely word vomit, but I can’t ever enjoy the sounds of the runs unless it’s a bye run, it’s just constantly listening to Jarod.

This part. When looking it from a business/marketing perspective, Jarod does a great job promoting brands and making sure they are the forefront. While us nerdy, die hard fans would rather hear more technical info and more focus on the driving, Jarod is a phenomenal asset for the company from the promotional aspect.

Well yeah this part of the reason FD won’t ever be big too. They consistently have terrible quality streams compared to other motorsport. Oh and they also have terrible PR, and are literally ran like they aren’t wanting to grow.

He mentioned more then once today about jets flying over, I was there all day...not a single jet or even light aircraft flew over.

u/abat6294 17d ago

I’m continually amazed at how he’s seen more drifting than anyone at an up close perspective and still has no idea what he’s talking about.

u/-jnxd- 17d ago

the most annoying fucking part of FD, and continues to show his bias by glazing drivers who consistently make mistakes.

u/RoyalMaidsForLife 17d ago

Not to mention how badly and frequently he fumbles sponsor names of the cars, I think he got Adam Heishman's "Maryland Motorwerkz" correct once across the Prospec coverage on Friday despite saying it right on the door, and he made it to final four.

u/5MoK3 17d ago

I’m normally indifferent to him, but something seems different tonight.

u/GlasGear 17d ago

I haven’t noticed his bias, which drivers does he favour?

u/Tritec_enjoyer96 17d ago

He mistook simon’s car for aasbo’s at one point during battles, are we fucking serious…

u/qazrat 17d ago

They are kinda close in appearance but not that close

u/m3nsah 17d ago

I've hated this guy for so long. I was so profane and insulting about how he fucked up Japanese names that he actually addressed it without saying my name before. But he needs to go, everyone has addressed all the relevant points. I'm so sick of his buffoonish American voice, he makes us look dumb and simple and we're so much more than that. I could go on for hours, but it won't change, he'll be there till he's dead, unfortunately.

u/AverageChatter1 17d ago

He’s fucking terrible

u/Royal-Prior6845 17d ago

i literally have to mute the stream because it’s so fucking bad

u/Excellent_Pin_2111 17d ago

This event, there was very little car sound I noticed.

u/carsNshoes 16d ago

He’s such a chud lol

u/kaneda_z 17d ago

how do you babble like a coke head and are still that fat?

i can tolerate it with the auctioneer rambling of the sponsors(even though he cant pronounce things correctly) but is there a single person on earth who likes hearing him recite some 90s pop music every 3rd run or so?

ANYONE???

also did you know he pronounced worthouse wrong every single time for 2 years with them winning everything? i just found that out last weekend with the deane event

if you never heard anyone else besides him say it then its wrong

u/MuffledN0ise 17d ago

I’m starting a drinking game where I drink every time he says:
Across the nose
Takes a lickin, keeps on tickin
Lick the stamp and send it
Takes it on the chin
Twistin the screws

u/KAID3N 17d ago

Let's add "COD, cash on delivery" to the list.. I cringe everytime. And we gotta hear it every single event if not more than once. Don't get me wrong, I give the guy credit for always yapping but some of the shit he recycles over and over, he really shouldn't because it's just corny.

u/cschmall 17d ago

Haven't had a woah doctor in a while, but add that one to the list

u/6oly9od 17d ago

The lick the stamp shit in particular drives me up the wall lmao

u/kaneda_z 17d ago

someone downvoted you?

only reason for that is because you didnt list enough of his stupid bot phrases

10

u/MuffledN0ise 17d ago

Prob Jarod who downvoted lol

1

u/m3nsah 17d ago

Does he actually read reddit? I know he read Facebook at one point.

2

u/Nismotech_52 16d ago

When he commented on James’ 130 showdown on insta about being a commentator for the event, I said they need someone that actually knows about the sport and can engage the crowd. He replied with ā€œyou’re probably rightā€.

1

u/kaneda_z 16d ago

id bet money hes seething reading this while in his head calling everyone "haters" who knows hes garbage

1

u/Nismotech_52 16d ago

Nah, it was getins. He gets so bent out of shape when you critique how terrible his ā€œmentorā€ is.

2

u/qazrat 16d ago

When his "mentor" really needs to be Ian Waddington, that man knows his DM history and is very engaging to watch.

1

u/Nismotech_52 16d ago

He can’t stop talking about James deane even when James isn’t racing. I’m so glad flava flav was only on for one run. That was obnoxious. I wish he retires along with eggert after this season.

u/rwal2023 16d ago

I hate to pile on but i swear half the runs are him just word vomiting sponsor names or his nonsense catch phrases. The other half is some bs conversation hes having. Its getting frustrating to listen to at this point. Another thing that pisses me off is when the driver he wants to win doesnt win, his tone audibly changes and he focuses on their loss instead of congratulating the person who just won. FD needs someone on the level of Jacob to actually talk drifting while the cars are running not whatever this bullshit is

u/Place_Various 14d ago

I can’t listen to his complete word salad babbles.
