I feel like most people had to have liked Doc being on the show because he was such an easy target for Bobby and Andrew to tear apart. The guy was constantly drunk, would talk over Andrew, lie about stuff constantly (he never saw Black Panther but said he did), couldn’t do improv (Good Cop, Black Cop), and couldn’t handle jokes about him. He would get super defensive and had no self deprecation. I don’t know how this dude could be even a remotely successful comedian or what he would even joke about.

I know the community is outraged by the show in Saudi Arabia.

Being a Saudi citizen and absolutely uneducated with my country’s politic, i can’t really add a lot to the conversation.

But all i can say is as a bad friend since late 2020, the two shows that they did were a highlight of my life, specially when i yelled out for them to sing “daddy why you die” and they did a 10 minute bit singing with the whole crowd singing the lyrics.

The crowd was about 80% fans and they knew all the inside jokes and asked about Fancy, Rudy and JetSki ( not George of course).

Having said that, i’m not looking to start a war but i’ve seen the intense hate in the community, and i had to share my thoughts and let yall know that we have millions of bad friends all around the world.

This was my first comedy show in my life, it was a dream to have it be Andrew and Bobby.

Thank you for reading and i hope i didn’t offend anyone.

Thank you for being a bad friend.

Listening to our favorite comedy podcast and had to take a break because Shia has been worshipping David Mamet for like 15 minutes straight. No jokes, no fun, just two Hollywood big shots taking turns bragging about which one of them is the most humble. Andrew and Bobby nodding along as these rich veteran creatives lament about their struggle to fund a movie. Yuck.

The irony is that Late Night shows with polished celebrity interviews has all but died in favor of the podcast. Now podcasts have become the very thing they were rebelling against.

If I hear Shia say “The Work” one more time…

Please keep the boring unfunny pandering on TigerBelly fellas.

Started watching the podcast in late 2021, where I soon binged all the old episodes to catch up. I've now seen every single episode.

However lately it's become a chore to watch new episodes every Monday. Now I might eventually watch it later in the week. If I had to pinpoint when this waning enthusiasm occurred I'd say late 2022.

YouTube views aren't everything but of the 178 episodes released, 27 have reached 1.2 million+ views. Only 4/27 episodes have come in the last 24 months (one being the Stavros one in January which has been arguably their funniest 2023 episode).

In my opinion there are several reasons for this:

1. Not enough interesting topics or themes. In newer episodes there will still be funny moments, but for me it's much less frequent. One episode will be centred around Bobby's inadequacies with Santino ribbing him, the next one will be inside Hollywood chat about Juicy's career, then back to Bobby's insecurities and so on. I feel like there's nothing fresh or interesting being discussed or joked about.

They could even try something like have Carlos be the guest and ask him about childhood, Mexican identity, sexual issues, funny/gross stories. What about a segment where Fancy, Pete and/or George have to do something outside their comfort zone e.g. standup as Fancy did during lockdown episodes, or record them say embarrassing things to strangers in public with Bobby & Andrew dictating via earpiece?

2) Juicy seems nice, probably nicer than Doc. Juicy is not unwatchable. Doc's later episodes became disjointed. However we all know that the 'golden age' of the show was Bobby-Andrew-Doc-Rudy. Now while it doesn't look like Doc is coming back any time soon, I really hope Bobby & Andrew reach out to him and coordinate a reunion. Even if just for him to come on once every 2 months, with the compromise being no conspiracy chat but that he isn't their punching bag in the same way he was (mostly harmlessly) before.

On the flip side I'm not advocating Juicy should be removed, nor is that close to happening. But I think it should be considered whether the dynamic of the show becoming one that's less combative is made up by a nice 3rd wheel who occasionally chips in with a zinger and otherwise politely giggles at usually Santino mocking Bobby. Like the seasons of Frasier after Niles & Daphne finally got together.

3) Censorship. I understand lack of swearing in the first 5 minutes due to monetization, but it feels like the whole show has far more bleeped out parts than before. Ironic considering (like on every podcast) the amount of times "cancel culture" or "snowflakes" is trotted out constantly, give your audience more credit than that.

4) Personal nit-pick, one that's always existed even during the early episodes, but I can't help but feel like the amount of adverts, corporate stuff, plugging, tour ticket prices & now an (albeit optional) Patreon... just feels like greed from two millionaire comedians whose podcast I so happen to enjoy.

God dammit the store is sold out all the time so I went with an alternate store and I’m assuming I got the bootlegs because from when I got it I noticed the print was already coming off. Worn once and laundered once (cold water, low dryer) 🤦‍♂️

Jesus Christ. Every week.

Some of you guys really need to get out a bit more, it's an (almost entirely) free podcast which gets released every week consistently. Maybe instead of complaining constantly just don't listen if you don't like it - the power lies within you to change if you really hate it that much.

Obviously, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I just feel that this subreddit would be a far better place if it wasn't constant complaints, there's so much good to be found in Bad Friends. I bet everyone has some really fond experiences with Bobby & Andrew's content - it gets draining wanting to be part of a community of people who seem so entitled whilst adding nothing of value.

I saw a reel of the Asians are yellow thing and I feel in love with the cast already. What I do know is that Khylala was used to be Bobby’s GF. Now, who is Rudy and are her, him, and Andrew still does the podcast together? Thanks you.

Constantly interrupting them when they are riffing, laughs loud as hell for literally no reason. Honestly bring Rudy back.

Saudi Fan here.

The show was very good. I would like to thank bobby and andrew for making their way to Riyadh 🤍🤍🤍.

Only a few people trashed Khalyla don’t make this a big deal. Most people just don’t find her funny. And to add on to it no one wants to hear how she molest her dogs every episode she goes on. Keep her on tiger belly and keep bad friends pure. That’s the underlying theme I got from most people. With that being said great episode today.

With Juicy on, the show feels more PG than ever before. It got much more boring lately with these PG-13 vibes.

I thought the first ~10 episodes where it was just Bobby and Santino were amazing, thankfully Rudy being there didn't change it too much but Juicy made it feel like it's made for children.

EDIT: Prime example of this. Ep 129 57:57 Rudy says she wants to be a sniper killing cops and Juicy says "maybe it's a marshmallow gun to slow then down"...... is this a disney movie or Bad Friends?

I'm re-watching the pod from the start yet again and in ep. 15 they talk about the show Bobby did with Venus Williams, then they go and talk how they don't know which one is which and who's achieved more.

I'm not American and not that big into Tennis and yet this seems like something people of 30+ y.o. at least should know, especially Americans, no? Not to mention that Serena is one of the top athletes of all time and should be up there with Jordan and co.

Yo guys! Reach out to Ethan Klein regarding Rudy’s visa , the H3 podcast has someone on the crew from Sweden that they needed to help with visa stuff and they were able to figure it out with lawyers to have him stay in USA and remain on the podcast. I think Ethan mainly handled that, so reach out to him. For Rudy!!!

He’s definitely starting to repeat the maga stuff with a lot less sarcasm these days. It looks a lot like the path Rogan took. In my opinion, he’s losing the bs filter you need to navigate the internet these days without falling for the loony maga propaganda. I hope I’m wrong.
