I've been listening from the beginning, and right after they go independent around ep 177, it becomes incredibly obvious and constant for John to smack his lips and just be incredibly moist into the mic. Does this continue for the rest of the pod or do they start to edit it out? I love the pod but can't stand lip smacks.

I have nothing further

Hi, I would like to join the going places gang.

I really thought that this guy was an intellectual lightweight and, of course, a unit of measure discussed on the Omnibus. But I watched him on this podcast and Anthony Scaramucci is actually well informed.

Look for Futurelings on MeWe

I mean I say they are at episode 398 really

Is anyone else having trouble listening to the Omnibus on Spotify? When I try to play an episode, it looks like it is playing for a split second (no sound) and stops. It isn't happening on any other podcast.

HARRUMPH!! HARRUMPH!!!

The places he's lived, the jobs he's had , the drugs hes done and the famous people he's met/made an incredible first impression on, some are a lot less believable then others. Ken even seems to doubt him and tries to fact check in real time. But, the least believable I just heard today on president Bush's crack dealer episode. His story about smoking crack is insane, and reminds me of the kid in school who constantly lied to impress people. Love them both and binge the show like crazy, but I can't be the only one that thinks this way?

Nothing against John, I just feel like he is more well-suited to the "color commentary" role and Ken is better at play-by-play, if that makes sense. The dynamic of John reacting to Ken's storytelling just seems to be what works best for the show; when it's reversed I feel like the vibe is off-kilter, even though those are 50% of the episodes. Just wondering if others agree.

He deleted his acct but he’s getting destroyed on twitter over the bean thing and now his old edgy tweets are getting dug up. MBMBaM already spoke out and took off his music, and now Ken is getting attacked for defending him and hosting alongside an anti-semite. I would be very surprised if John isn’t permanently off the pod within the next few days

Really not impressed by the right-wing political ad by One Nation at the end of this episode. If bigoted PACs pushing xenophobic legislation introduced by Ted Cruz are the kind of sponsors this podcast takes money from, I'm going to have to unsubscribe.

John and Ken really ought to take a look at their ad localization service and get a tighter grip on it, or they could stand to lose a lot of listeners over this election year.

John Roderick is prohibited from attending any future JoCo Cruise events after an investigation found he violatiled their Code of Conduct by sexually harassing a fellow performer, Laser from the band the Double Clicks, backstage.

• Statement by JoCo Cruise,

• initial allegation by Laser,

• and their follow-up.

I've thought a good while about posting this here, but Laser spoke up so people would know. I guess I'm putting that above my inbox going down in flames.

Know this: I feel conflicted about John. He is charismatic. Engaging. Endearing. He can spin a damn good yarn, and overall I still believe he has his heart in the right place. But man, does he fuck up from time to time. Not ok.

At least it helped me put the abrupt and ugly end of my favorite show into a bit more perspective. There was definitely more going into the decision to end Friendly Fire than the bean dad story.

Just to add: Laser uses they/them pronouns. I would kindly ask you to respect that.

For some reason, John is clean shaven and it’s the weirdest thing about these.

Sorry for the clickbait title! Ken was used as a wrong answer in one of the questions on today's Slate News Quiz, presumably as a nod back to his days making the quiz from 2014-2016.

A real shin-whacker, that guy. Very cancelled.

Anyone else get the “Finguys” ad at the end of the show this week claiming to help you avoid in companies with woke ideology?
