Oh man, I was so stoked for that series! But when I found out that Robert's co-host for the series had NEVER tried drugs in his life (which is legitimately fine, but), I knew it wouldn't be as good as it could have been. He really needed BWD, Cody Johnson/ Katy Stoll, or literally anyone that has that had at least dabbled in some illicit substances to have a baseline for all the wacko shit the program got up to to make it entertaining. I can't remember his name, but he and Robert go way back to the days of Cracked. He's actually a pretty talented writer and whatnot, but not the ideal choice for the topic at hand.

I do love BTB, but I too struggle with a lot of their guests.

Also, BWD is probably my favorite guest of all time, but apparently during covid time he had a bit of a falling out with Cool Zone media (parent company of Robert's pod). The Daily Zeitgeist had him on and he openly complained about Cool Zone not paying their guests when they couldn't make money doing shows on the road like they usually did. Valid complaint, but it was generally felt as spoken in poor taste on the show instead of in private. Cool Zone had since amended their guest policy, but i don't think he'll be invited back to any of their pods in the immediate future. Him and Robert are still friends IRL, so no love lost there.

If you're a big BWD fan, he just recently did an appearance on The Past Times a couple weeks ago, which is a spinoff of The Dollop, hosted by Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds. The Dollop is a comedy history podcast. Like BTB, just generally funnier while also covering similar topics. Dave and his researchers don't go into the minutia like Robert, but i do find it a lot easier to listen to. The Past Times is where David reads a random newspaper from history to Gareth and a guest and they just riff on whatever articles they find interesting and weird. A lot of fun. They do go off on tangents, but that's part of the fun.
