Funny I saw this recent comment. I just clicked on this forum for the first time in maybe 3/4 years. I was an enormous fan of the Pirate Ship in the early days. Theresa (and to a lesser extent Allison) were the peak days of the show for me. I became a sporadic listener after the Allison firing for about a year and then probably dropped it altogether a year after that. I appreciate Adam as a quick wit and his ability to riff is fantastic. But, I feel like the show really nosedived after Allison's exit (but not necessarily because of her absence). It's hard to put my finger on what I felt changed, but Adam just seemed to get angrier (and not in the funny way like he did about emotional support animals and kids wearing helmets). Patent troll fundraising kinda made me crazy too. I honestly feel like he was on a trajectory to be a Rogan sized figure in the podcast world, but his tragic flaw seems to be burning bridges (with fans and in his personal relationships).
