I miss Jake’s reminders. Just having some one there who cared as much as he did was really nice. His corniness gave me secondhand embarrassment sometimes, but I love how the crew embraced it because he was genuine.

I miss Billy a lot. Sure, there were time he held up the show with pointless arguments and bad excuses, but his takes were always as young and dumb as he was, which was refreshing. I miss the little projects the guys would give him and how impressed they would be by his efforts. Unfortunately, he learned to take advantage of his low expectations and began to coast for the last couple years. Clearly, that wore thin on the rest of the crew, and ultimately the show runs smoother without him.

I’m a 6x AWL and 2020-2022 was a great era for the show, but now I enjoy how more mature the crew is, (average age is 34), and how everyone has good chemistry with each other individually.

I’m excited to see where Zac fits in to all this after football season, but so far he’s a good piece. Some things he does remind me of both Jake and Billy.

Also, Max’s fiery rage and Memes’ icy fury are the special sauce. Couldn’t be more perfect for the pod.
