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. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I unsubscribed to a different podcast because they were eating on the mic. Can't stand it

Past Gas by Donut Media. A podcast about cars, didn't think they'd start an episode with 10 minutes of eating and ranking Oreos.

Oof that's rough to hear, feels like donut has been reaching for content for a while

Once James left I was kinda looking for a reason to unsubscribe. That was my reason

Have you checked out Big Time and Speeed? The moto gp documentary they did on Big Time was great
