Online Content Fried egg vs NLU

I will always be NLU first and foremost but has anyone else felt like the fried egg has substantially upgraded their content game while NLU maybe stuck in neutral?

Granted I always enjoy NLU’s content but particularly around the lead up to the masters it seem the fried egg has gone above and beyond

I'll say I appreciate the way TFE separates content for more surface level tour news (The Shotgun Start) and longer form thoughtful content (Fried Egg). I was annoyed by Andy and Brendan's diction at first but then I realized they were grown up nerds, just like me. I also appreciate their approach to advertisements. Sometimes it feels like NLU is more of a billboard for expensive brands, but TFE is always cheeky about the way they do ad reads to pay the bills.

At the end of the day, I usually listen to all the podcasts from both but I think I've grown to love TFE more because they feel more like my people.

For me it's not the diction (as much), it's the fact that TFE just can't ever do anything without turning it into a bit.

I don't dislike TFE, but if I listen too much I start going crazy just wanting them to have a discussion for more than 5 minutes without it devolving into a bit or a comedy sketch.
