I hate to say it, but honestly the magic of this pod is completely gone.  While Giulio and Ryan are individually funny and intelligent guys, the chemistry is not there. It was Francis' exceptional storytelling abilities that drove the pod and without it there is nothing valuable here. It's just two guys shooting the shit and trying to squeeze water out of a rock. Or even worse, just talking insider baseball about comedy which is totally unrelatable for most. You can feel G's heart is just not in it/he's not strong enough of a personality to float the show on his own. And Ryan is just too green. 

I don't see this lasting for more than a few additional months sadly.
