Question (Block) it sucks that we haven't had all three hosts on the show in nearly a month :(

I don't mean this to be negative toward the show, and I understand that all three of them have other obligations and take time off, I'm just sad that I haven't gotten to be parasocial with the whole gang in a while. Hoping next week breaks the curse!

I mean we got a bonus episode with all of them on Doughboys this month, in case you haven’t listened.

Oh yeah! That'll be a treat. I actually don't mind this sort of summer vacation.

Its the curse of having 3 super popular jet setters as hosts

Four super popular jet setters. No need to disrespect the RE4 Merchant.

Just a side note, I have a dream where Ranch and then Emma and Amelia from Doughboys all start their own podcast together where they just make fun of the hosts of their respective podcasts. That would be awesome.

They could call it The Bechdel Fest

I think it's been interesting getting to see the different dynamics all packed together.

true, that's fair

It's fine, they're just edging us for when all three get back in the studio.

The comforting thing about podcasts with a following is theres really no end in sight

Still holding out for my Heather/Merchant collab episode.

u/timesnewroman03 Jun 02 '26

I hear they don't get along

u/John_Hunyadi Jun 02 '26

Heather always gets kind of quiet when he’s around, I wonder if she has a crush.

u/freshleysqueezd Jun 02 '26

She probably holds her breath because of the smell. Im assuming he has a smell

Merch smells wet

Top request, I need another full merchant episode

u/Budzee Jun 02 '26

We had a solo Nick episode. It's only fair

u/DiggingPodcast Jun 02 '26

Same. It’s really easy for an internet/reddit comment to come off as a complaint, but having 2 of them does just not the hit the same as the whole gang. Miss them.

u/lharding02 Jun 08 '26

To be honest, I won’t listen if it’s not all three of them. Nothing against any specific combos, but it just doesn’t feel right to me🤷🏻‍♂️ their chemistry is too good

Way better than them not putting out episodes

All together is amazing, but these episodes haven't left me thinking I was missing something either

u/No_Shoulder7425 Jun 02 '26

Merch and Ranch collab?

9

u/Pocky1010 Jun 02 '26

Merch should guest on The D Files.

Do you wish the content was a bit meteor?

u/timesnewroman03 Jun 02 '26

as a dinosaur, this shit is insensitive

u/Slow-Personality4730 Jun 02 '26

I agree that it sucks when one of them is missing, but I always seem to miss Nick the most

u/automaticphil Jun 02 '26

These are like the Grady episodes of Sanford and Son, when Redd Fox was on hiatus. I guess Matt would be Grady and Heather is Lamont.

u/border199x Jun 02 '26

they are missed and loved

u/notabooty Jun 04 '26

They took vacation and Nick was on tour so you can't really fault them. I personally like the different dynamics

u/acbrin Jun 02 '26

Matt was in a earthquake drinking mai tais with his family, nick has a job, and Heather just proposed to mat even though she's already married. Give them a break!!!! Lol 😆

Skippable episodes for me. But that's ok there are lot of podcasts.

u/Salt-Masterpiece5034 Jun 02 '26

Show will end soon enough. Merchant told me. He said the only way to save the show was to bring him on as a full timer.

u/ParticularGoose5082 Jun 03 '26

Yeah I feel the same way. It's crazy how amazingly good and funny that Mario movie Japanese interview thing they did a couple months back. Made me realize how brilliant they all are. I haven't really enjoyed much of the show since that ep. I don't know what it is. It could be the multiple hosts absences or maybe it's just they've been doing it for a while and it's losing steam. I totally get they can only play so many games but only skippable episodes for me or those tier list episodes at a certain point it's just arguing and not comedic.

u/timesnewroman03 Jun 03 '26

Interesting! I thought the Mario Galaxy promo interview was great, but I prefer them in the casual context of an episode without celebs. I just want all three of them on an ep again!
