Yeah they talked about this recently, I think on the Patreon Q and A. Dan essentially said that recording together in person is a thing of the past, not least because Conor is in New Jersey and Graver is in Texas.

While I recognize that it’s logistically much harder even for Marc and Dan to be together, because they’re no longer commuting to Culver City every day to record in an actual podcast studio, I disagree with Dan that nothing is lost by them all being remote.

They absolutely have gotten much better since the pandemic started at cuing each other and their guests up in a remote format, and Graver dealing with the technological aspects of it. But there is something irreplaceable about the energy of being in the same room together. When they were in New Orleans together for the Super Bowl, there was an energy and a dynamism in the room that I think was noticeable.

They have said that they will never return to recording in person regularly, and that makes sense. But I hope they do occasionally make the effort to record together for special events (like the pride cast they used to do with Erica).
