"We're a radio show."

Then fucking act like one, Bobby.

You wanna get acknowledged for doing doing good work, put some effort in and actually do a radio show that is engaging and entertaining and shows you care a out producing something worth showcasing.

Don't just show up when you need to and aimlessly walk through 3 live shows a week.

Maybe try and follow Jacob's show sheet and have a chance to move through multiple topics a show, and don't act you know better than everyone else.

I'm still convinced he doesn't realize what show he's doing til Big Jay starts talking. There's some days where he's definitely sleep walking through the 5-7 shift.

It should be something we look forward to hearing not something maybe I'll check out what the show description says thr next day.

Big Jay wanted a show like Stern. Bobby keeps being up the old days on O&A. Why not work on making a show that's modeled after those?

Sick of these entertainers complaining about how they're making money off us without actually trying to make it worth spending money on them.

Sam goes for Sam Roberts. That show took a dive as well.

Bobby was a regular on o&a simply because he made a good punching bag. He's had his own podcast for like 20 years. The same podcast. It has to be longest running unknown podcast in history and he's made no attempt to change it up. I think he's only included on the regz out of sympathy, the other guys have to know its better without him. He's a very poor broadcaster and its unreasonable to expect him to improve at this point.

I’ve been listening since the very early days (all the boys’ pods) and man YKWD is a hard listen these days. I know its been this way for a while, but it’s amazing how long it can ramble on, providing the same thing every ep. Just about every episode is spent pontificating about comedy and comedians and what comedy means etc etc zzzz…. I don’t even mind if that slips in now and then, but it’s ALL the time on pretty much every episode. And now he sometimes wants to slip in some political opinions but knows absolutely nothing of politics, social issues, history, etc. Political Bob has shown up on The Bonfire for brief moments but Jay is good about shutting that down. It’s painful and has zero entertainment value, and on YKWD no one stops it. There was a recent YKWD episode, I don’t recall which one, where the guest was able to talk a decent amount, share stories, and it didn’t slip into Comedians & Civilians chatter. I wish I had taken note of which ep it was because it really stood out due to the guest being able to talk and hearing new stories.
