W lunch pull from the coffee cow and our special weekly guest

42nfl19

I've been enjoying the guest episodes. Getting that extra insight into other things. Yeah I do agree the Shopify one was on the weaker side. Just filled with corpo speak. So if you do ever want insight into business or company, you can't go to far up the food chain.

Peter

To be honest last episode when I saw the title “our new host” I was really disappointed to find out that they replaced Doug and not Aiden.

Tynan Gacy

The guest video was fine, but there were a few issues that were hard to ignore. The most egregious problem was that you cut the best parts of the episode (the tickle segments). Also, I'm not sure how I feel about Atrioc and Aiden hosting the Patreon after Anthpo took over the podcast, it feels a little disrespectful

Ehaeka

I disagree boys, Aimen Calvin from The Yard is a terrible guest. I honestly just prefer the usual crew of Gavin, Anthpo, and Gerald

Yasi

My main problem is that tickle time isn’t a weekly segment. THE PEOPLE WANT MORE TICKLE TIME!

Bailey Yin

Atrioc should stay in LA. NY is overrated

Nightfall

Anthpo was definitely one of the better guest episodes. My problem with guest episodes or interviews is that they take up so much of the episode and remove topical news and discussion in favor for at least in my case guests I am not interested in. Ceos especially giving their bs talking points or promoting their shitty fucking companies make me normally just skip the episodes. I would personally prefer if guest episodes had proper news and interesting topics outside of the guest, cause honestly its just really exhausting to listen to someone speak about how RIOT Games is working on a MMO thats awesome and how they totally care about not making people addicted while they turn their game into a skin casino. Like I am not the biggest fan of the tech discussions most of the time on this podcast but they normally last 3rd or less of the show meaning I have plenty to watch and on topics which are different. But yeah imo its variety of topics and honestly I would prefer not having episodes that are just interviews with the guests, I find those episodes really boring and uninteresting.

I had a coworker years ago who was a little crazy. He was a disabled veteran who believed that Jews ran Hollywood and were trying to manipulate everyone while also believing you should have a license and do regular safety test to own any firearm almost exactly the same as driving licenses. He was actually a really sweet guy but also refused to take the meds the VA gave him and was clearly a little mentally troubled.

Ellie Teller

I just am not interested in some of the things the guests are doing, like it's nothing personal I'm just not gonna watch an episode focused on Riot or F1, they're just not interesting to me. I will ALWAYS watch something with anthpo or Lina Khan.

raymond

Coffee Cow at the Stampede goes crazy

rothum

As if Aiden isn't too chunc to be a blood boy. That's more of a job for Anthpo...

Barmy

I’m so excited for the Ray Madoff episode!

2026-10-28 03:00 Honestly the idea of doing basically a normal episode with the guest acting as fourth/third host and bringing topics is way more appealing than an interview

Joey Delano

Personally I found the Anthpo and Marc Merill episodes incredibly interesting and insightful.

Chris.T

I think the guest interviews should be different uploads to the main episodes. I think guest co-hosted episodes is good and they can bring in some topics they would like to talk about but I’d still having some of “usual topics” mixed in. Also you guys mentioned, and especially Doug mentioned Seattle city was a great city many episodes back and it’s been chewing me up. I’m here to put the misperception to bed! I’ve had multiple colleagues go to the city, they said it was boring, expensive and the food was mid.

ColeBuddy

I liked the episode with Anthpo more than other guest episodes. The dynamic was different as he played a guest/host instead of being solely interviewed. It was interesting and more entertaining in my opinion.

Brittany Coppin

Please Aiden, please take Atrioc to the Calgary Stampede. My kid asked me what was so funny when I laughed out loud of you hanging the “Stampede” over him 😂 I have a lot of family in Alberta (born in Calgary but moved to Vancouver at 3 and have lived in BC ever since) and most of my family is firmly in stay in Canada. One of my aunts is Maple Maga and she voted to leave, she did have a brain tumour removed during COVID and hasn’t really been the same since. But she definitely is a stereotypical albertan who loves Trump and thinks he is god.

NightKnight

I don't follow, Aiden is a guest not a host.

IronMyr

I normally don't like guest episodes, but this Aiden guy is so good.

Darkhill Duck

Best part about Copenhagen is that if you live outside the main station 30 minutes by train, it's also reasonable affordable on a minimum wage income to have a house (I know multiple people who have that)

Gadnuk Breaker of Worlds

As an Albertan, the dumbest thing about this whole vote is that the majority of the people who want to leave don't understand that Carney is doing everything they want right now and the current Albertan provincial government is the main reason housing, infrastructure, healthcare and education are all suffering.

lemonboi

I might be wrong but it didnt go to a referendum it went to a referendum on whether it should go to referendum(i could be wrong sorry aiden)

Gil

Hey, very randomly I made friends with a chinese guy (in beijing) who's trying to import chinese EVs into Canada. Hit me up if you want his wechat

Hailey “Beloved” Robeson

I had just heard Dantes make a joke about Quebec-ians will never gain independence and everyone in the call being confused. Ig I know the context now lmao

Bald Can’t

Can’t believe Atrioc didn’t get the plot to Elysium right, as a mediocre action movie expert I was shocked and appalled.

Darius Leah

In Defense of Guest Episodes? I love them?? I only wish the Patreon was extra time with them, What I'd do for the whole crew plus Anthpo and all. Or even the Riot CEO and such, I love hearing these perspectives you guys do ask hard questions and if not beat yourself up about not going even harder. If people don't like the guest episodes especially since they're free on YT, uhh don't watch them. It's not like you do them every week, or it's constantly guests or whatever. That's my complaints, I want more guest time on Patreon, I want you to ask questions on here maybe you can't ask on YT.

The Dork Lord

In addition to New York, Philadelphia is a very walkable city -it’s certainly smaller, but you can get anywhere in the city without a car pretty easily

Timothy Wayrynen

i hung out with a girl in college after a bit of conversation (idk how exactly it happened) i realized she thought the earth was flat. I tried to logically explain how that just not reality, but it does not matter. if someone belives something you have to understand their stance more then just factually objecting. something im trying to get better at.

Steven K

For two anecdotal points, two of my friends dropped out of buying a house last minute because of all the hidden fees. The sellers got pissed at wasting their time, to which one of my friends yelled at him for wasting his time back lol.

Olivier Barbeau

This is wild to me. I've never played a game of League nor watched a single F1 race and those two episodes are some of my favorite of the entire show.

Eric

I really liked this most recent guest episode but that is probably because you guys did a normal episode. I also liked when Aiden interviewed that mayor a while back. I think guest episodes still need to have some normal "talk about what is happening" segments. Also, tell Atrioc that Jake and Amir had Mamdani on an episode, so I feel like you guys can probably snag him to fill in for Gavin.

Ellie Teller

Well it's more that I have seen some leave games I've talked to people about league I've talked to people about F1 and every time I had these conversations I did not feel like it was anything I was interested in. I'm sure they could ask him interesting questions, but I'm not willing to watch an entire video for parts of an interview I might care about.

Matthias Conroy

45:30 I know about the SFAT post and me and my brother still quote it regularly. I love so much when you guys pepper in Melee deep cuts.

Sam Beach

Counterweight - I love the guest episodes, and would hate to see you guys change the format of this show into something you enjoy less to placate the whiney bitches in the audience.

Zack

The Mamdani effect

Drew Arnason

For the Alberta vote I think Aiden is completely right about it being over represented. I lived in Alberta this summer and worked in agriculture. I spent a lot of time going to different small scale beef farms across the province and never heard anyone talk about Alberta leaving as a positive. And like they’re the most conservative Canadians I’ve ever met living my whole life in Canada. Didn’t bring it up to them either and this is just anecdotal but it really seemed to have no actual ground in the province.

J LeBrun

Alberta isn't America lite, America is just Alberta lite

Steven K

Please keep the guest episodes. They are like your topics that we don't know anything about but with experts. I know that guest episodes will always give me a new perspective on a new topic

Lamchikabambam

Maybe I'm talking to a different set of people than Aiden, but I've had a super different experience. I'm a more liberal Christian, and I was talking to my wife's friend's mom who is a MAGA republican Christian for like 2 hours. Fundamentally, her argument for why we need to keep republicans in power is : 1. Muslims have destroyed France and are working on the rest of the EU. 2. We cannot let Muslims have power in the US. 3. But I love Muslims and want them all to be saved by Jesus. All of her views on the economy, Iran, or anything else just ended up at the talking points above.

nick

My experience with my conservative parents is a lot like aiden’s experience with his friend. My parents are pro choice and mostly pro LGBT, but they fucking love trump. When talking about specific things like the Iran war, they say similar things like “well if they have nuclear weapons, it is worth it at all costs” while not paying attention to the fact that these attacks have not affected their nuclear capacity very much and are horrible for our economy etc. I think something happened when the internet got big where before, you could just say shit as a politician and it’s hard to verify, but now you can just look up shit and see factually who is lying and who is being mostly accurate if you’re internet savvy. Lots of conservatives are not internet savvy so they just believe what trump says. Tldr it’s basically like my parents are in a cult and they shut off all critical thinking when it comes to trump bc they are so attached to being republican

A Screaming Batman

Ive had similar conversations with more right leaning people where they have some very contradictory beliefs to their vote. There’s a coworker that I talk to pretty regularly about politics, and he’s given me some pretty egregious examples. The absolute biggest thing that he likes to bring up any chance he gets, is how much he hates taxes, and how the government wastes them at pretty much every opportunity. It’s his number one topic. I was completely stunned to learn one day that he’s completely pro trump ballroom though. I told him I was really surprised to hear that, considering his stances on government spending, and he just kept repeating that “I understand their need for extra security.” I was honestly baffled, and no matter which way I tried to reword my confusions, he just could not see any contradiction in his logic. I’ve had him do stuff like this on a few different occasions, and each time he’s not belligerent or anything, but he just keeps defaulting to a talking point that so clearly goes against his core beliefs. It’s pretty wild

Zachary Kress

Aiden’s conversation with the Michigan republican guy is so fucking real. I use to play games with some guys who are exactly like this. We would talk about how the military is taking too much of our tax dollars and the work they do isn’t exactly just. But then he would be like yah I’m not voting for Kamala though because she wants to take away our guns. So I point out that she wasn’t pushing that issue and her and her vp are both gun owners and he just wouldn’t change his mind about it

Elswise

My two cents on the guest episodes Headline: I enjoy them. I'd like you to keep doing them, but I think they sometimes can have an issue with pacing and/or editing. I've really enjoyed a lot of the guest episodes you've done recently. I've never watched F1 or played a Riot game, but I found both those interviews engaging throughout. All the hosts clearly put a lot of time into preparing for the interviews, and it shows — it led to interesting questions and discussions. I've also appreciated how recently you all (but Atrioc in particular) have been been semi-interrupting guests to ask follow up questions and make comments. This has helped to break up monologues and make the conversations more engaging. Other interviews that you've done with politicians, Steve Eisman, and Markiplier in the past were all good quality as well. I enjoyed your most recent episode with Anthpo greatly, and I actually thought that the section where you were asking him questions about his jobs was the most interesting part. The constructive criticism that I would give is that some interviews (such as in the autonomous vehicle company episode) were quite long relative to the amount of information that was provided. To the best of my recollection, in the episode, there was an in-person interview with a worker, and then some commentary on that back in the studio before showing an interview with a boss at the company afterwards. In all three sections, there was very similar information that was conveyed, and that led to me losing interest. In my opinion, it was not that you spoke to a CEO of a company that was the issue — it was the pacing and repetition. I don't mind interviews with CEOs at companies, their perspective can be interesting, and I think that you all are good at commenting on the bias that they have in your subsequent commentary. In general I think that some less interesting sections of interviews could be cut in the edit. I'm sure that most guests would understand this, as I believe this is common practice in pre-recorded mainstream news and documentaries etc. This might mean that an interview wouldn’t fill a whole episode but I think adding extra topics in without the guest at the end might lead to a generally higher quality episode. I've also always enjoyed when you debrief your interviews afterwards, and you reflect on how the interview was and what you thought of the guests' answers. I think fans would appreciate it if that was consistently at the end of the episode with the interview. I think that could help to alleviate some of the frustration that commenters might feel, as you address their concerns then and there. I do think that guest episodes are important for variety, both for the presenters of the show and the fans. Fans may say that they want to hear about the Iran war and gas prices every week, but they will fatigue if this is not broken up. And ensuring that presenters are not getting burnt out due to doing similar topics every week is important. You all being engaged and interested is what makes the show entertaining to me. I hope that you'll continue to get guests that you're all passionate about interviewing. I hope you don't mind the unsolicited feedback from someone who knows absolutely nothing about podcasting, but the title of the episode does lead me to think that you might appreciate it, and you all seem generally very receptive to feedback as well, which I really respect. I share this more because the title of the episode makes me believe that you are feeling some degree of angst regarding the guest episodes and I thought my opinion might be of interest as I’ve not seen it anywhere in the comments. Anyway, big fan of the show. Please keep doing what you’re doing

Connor Van Eeken

One really funny thing about the Alberta referendum is that it was a vote to see if there should be a vote about separating so its was extremely non committal and they still couldn't get the votes

Caleb Benningfield

The jet car has giant tanks that replace the passenger seat and trunk. The demo was unmanned. The suction thing isn't new tech and fires dust and rocks out of the back. There is absolutely zero chance it ever makes it to market. It would be a cool stunt if he wasn't pretending it's not just a stunt.

Ridghost

Seems like a lot of Americans use their political affiliation as a way to find community and a tribe. At a certain point the policies don't matter. I have a few republican friends whom if I were to question in private, would give left leaning views on many topics. They won't say them to their friends or family in fear of being isolated and punished. The party is more closely tied to their identity in america than in most other countries with a democracy.

Wyatt Wilson

A calgary stampede ep would be super fu

Alex

I love this podcast. It is like the avengers, my favourite MAGA personality and IDF supporter in the same show. Also there is Doug my favourite gamer.

Umbra Night

Its really not a one off thing yall. Most people have nuanced thoughts that get drowned out in the dem/rep identity politics of today. Just another reason the party system has to go. Most republicans get as uncomfortable when talking about what their candidates have done as democrats get talking about what theirs havent. when bought down to brass tacks, with no red or blue mentioned, youll be surprised how similar we really are. Im glad aiden took the time to talk to the guy and get a glimpse. Atrioc i hope youll be more open to getting into the reality of our system and population and mot just what social media gets you to think. Because the same propoganda that has that guy thinking a man can be dangerous purely because of his religon, is the same that gets you to think a mans opinion is worthless because hes had a wrong one

SaacAttaac

RE the maga wedding guy: I don’t see how his position is surprising. Republicans getting people to vote against their own interests entirely due to xenophobic or anti queer rhetoric has been the norm for my entire lifetime

(longin)

I've lived in southern Michigan since around 2020, so take this with that context. A lot of Republicans I've met here feel abandoned since the auto industry shrank. They connect a lot of their problems to the wealth that left with it, and they believe the Republicans will bring industry back. Though with the tariffs on Canada, which literally borders Detroit, that belief doesn't seem as strong right now.

Mathias

Hearing NYC be described like that absolutely blew my mind. NYC is a total dump, so I can’t imagine what LA is like to make NYC seem livable by comparison

Emiliano Vazquez

If all guest episodes were like Anthpo’s episode, they would be much more enjoyable

PP GODKING

How about one drunk patreon episode? 🤔
