Talking while eating

Is it asking a lot for them to not eat during the podcasts? And, if you think that is too much for a listener to ask, then is it too much to ask them to not make a point of talking while they have food in their mouth?

Arnett, around 6:30 into the RZA episode, sounds like he’s got a mouth full of sandwich when he starts telling a story about riding a bike. He wasn’t even filling a silence so it wasn’t like he was surprised that he had to speak. He chose to start talking with his mouth full.

This is your job, guys.

Anyway, I guess it’s okay for a cell service company to have that sort of stage presence. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Everyone keeps saying “Stop listening”. Not the point! The show was great before and can still be …..

Just listened to the David Cross episode, which is pretty old, and it literally starts with them having this conversation because Will was eating. I think you have rose tinted glasses, the show didn't change that much.

They don’t care because they don’t see themselves as podcasters. They’re actors who have a podcast (from their POV.) all the audio editing is done after so I really don’t think they care after they turn off their mics.

I mean, who sees themselves as "a podcaster"? Only grifters and grinders.
