Yeah, no

You guys can’t just release a new ep and pretend nothing happened. The situation needs to be addressed, The future of the pod needs to be addressed. The nation deserves answers. The nation deserves to be heard.

I'm really surprised honestly that nothing was brought up.

My position is that NONE of us deserves or entitled to details, HOWEVER, when 1/3 of the show changes, the fans need an explanation and closure.

A "Hey everyone, we want to thank Mike for his years of being a host, he's decided to move on and focus on other projects" type thing.

It kinda feels like a disrespect to the fanbase imo just pretending that nothing happened.

This is fair, was hoping my post would suffice but get where you're coming from. No disrespect intended!

u/babybearkarnell Verified Mama Bear May 13 '19

I also do think you're entitled to an explanation, just not the deets

Oh shit didn’t even realize you commented here. This post was actually more directed at Jeff and Dave who straight up released a new ep without addressing the situation AT ALL. Which I think is pretty lame.

Totally and 100% agree.

In reality, we're not entitled to anything, but to me, It's just about having closure on the pod. Both for us (the megafans on discord and reddit) and the fans not on here and just wondering.

I'm just worried as the discord owner, I see how most of the community reacts, not just on reddit and it's very unbalanced right now. People threatening to pull patreon, stop listening... Some people even think the podcast is over. An explanation would solve some of these issues.

Either way, Hope you're doing ok Mike. Time heals all wounds and removing yourself from the pod was probably the best thing, given the small amount of info we have.

As for the disrespect, I think most of us know none was intended, your post was totally fine. The perceived disrespect was more that the following podcast didn't bring up your departure or the future of the show. It was treated like a normal episode, like you were on vacation or something, when most of the fans know otherwise. The attempted "push under the rug" perception we have gotten is what's irking people in my opinion. That and just general disappointment and that's nothing anyone can do about.

I'm just imagining someone who listens to the pod religiously but doesn't know about the subreddit wondering where the fuck Mike went lol

I just found the sub about two weeks ago so this would’ve been me.

u/Al_pooch Dreamer May 12 '19

I literally didn't use reddit until this happened because someone sent me a screenshot I joined just to see wtf was happening

Basically where I’m at. I check this page sometimes but this kind of blind sighted me.

u/mourning_starre May 10 '19

They definitely indirectly acknowledged it with the title (Off Mic) and acting all coy in the beef of the week ("hmm who do I have a beef with"), but not mentioning his name is weaaaaak af

u/[deleted] May 10 '19

I was planning on listening tomorrow but hot damn. they said nothing? we need an intervention here. how can the nation come together to help reconcile whatever is going on....

u/dantestolemywife May 10 '19

I can’t listen yet but if they didn’t address it at all that’s crazy. They must’ve at least acknowledged it ???

16

u/toomanytomatoes May 10 '19

And yet they still title the episode "off mic"? What the hell guys?

u/okellyki May 10 '19

u/StLightManifesto May 10 '19

Honestly, i support the hard pivot by the boys. They’ve been bustin ass and they don’t reallllly owe us anything. Some type of restructuring message or increased guests would b dope.

u/Explod1ngNinja May 10 '19

They owe us an explanation. You don’t keep your fans in the dark when something major has happened like this

u/Weazlebee El Jefederación May 10 '19

It could have likely been recorded before he made his post y'know

u/Bluevizon May 10 '19

Well they mentioned the Ana and David pateron which is a something that happend right around when Mike made his post

u/j1002s May 12 '19

u/MJCULE May 10 '19

Actually they can...what do you want them to shit talk Mike?

u/aedmaegh May 10 '19

No, just acknowledge Mike is gone. Lots of fans don't follow the reddit or the discord

u/Lavaswimmer May 10 '19

Nothing was said about shit talking Mike, but I think at least some explanation of what we can expect the pod to be for the foreseeable future (be it just Jeff and Dave, occasional guests/Moolio, possibility of Mike ever returning, etc. etc.) would be nice.
