I can confirm that when Tyde called in there was a problem with his phone line. Not sure how it came across to the audience, but as a co-host I couldn't make out what he was saying.
I fell asleep at the end of the show last night, the last thing I remember was saying how the show has a problem with repetition. Druff agreed with me, then started to repeat the whole end times saga of dokndown. Oh well, scorpion and the frog.
Haven't listened to the show yet but by just reading the posts it looks like Brandon might be on his last leg. I noticed in one of the last shows Brandon is acting a bit entitled and getting more and more annoyed with Druff's general Jewy self and his refusal to open up about little things in his personal life. Hopefully I'm wrong because I enjoy what both bring to the table together but If I had to choose I'd go with Druff's consistency and nerdy topics.

Todd,
You may want to go the route of Pardon the Interruption and have a clock for each topic. Give us the run down on the topics, and give us a time frame for each topic. It may help keep the show more focused and manageable. Allow 3-5 minutes for any guests to call in, during topics, and then move on.

P.S. Brandon, I defended your ass on a number of occasions, but since you last came back after Druff apologized for cuttin you off when the car salesman called in, you've seemed different. Sort of entitled. Not exactly the Brandon I fully enjoying hearing on the show in the past.
Are you copecetic, dude? Or is something nagging at you off-show?
My beef with you was that it was obviously bad form especially from a newbie to even open your mouth about Aldo after two decade + forum members lost 6 figures on him. Utterly stupid move on your part. In another era, you would at minimum be bagged (bet you don't know what that is) and possibly banned.
Am I acting entitled? Maybe I have a right to be entitled? At what point does someone keep giving there heart into something until it reaches the point that the frustration boils over?
Druff is great at all he does for reasons I said on radio and posted, but I'm not second fiddle to anyone. When I'm talking I want the respect to finish what I am saying before I am interupted, just as I would for my cohosts. My time is more valuable than to sit with a head set on for an hour without getting a word in edge wise while I listen to how to buy a car. Maybe I'm arrogant, so be it but I am not second fiddle to Druff just as he is not second fiddle to me.
I hope this clears up your question
can't wait to listen to the show. what's going on lol
ps: Brandon you make the show 1000x better, buddy.
Before i fell asleep i caught the Matthew Maraffioti segment. Holy shit i havnt laughed like that in a while.. i was literally laughing my ass off with the photo will's and all those random characters. Great job by druff and daredevil clowning him that was HOF to me. Has to be some truth to his story but still wow funny as hell.
Yes. And thank you for taking the time to discuss. That helps a lot.

I understand and apologized for it. Again, I'm sorry.

I agree that your time is valuable. And I can understand how it can be frustrating when Druff gets all involved with letting a caller talk on and on, especially when the call interrupted your train of thought. Perhaps you and Druff need to set some ground rules for when you are co-hosting. Such as setting it aside as a no-call-in period until Druff asks you about it, and gets your OK. That way, you won't be blindsided by Druff going off and accepting calls when you are on a roll chatting it up as many of us enjoy.
But also, expect Druff to forget, and calmly remind him in the moment when he is not respecting your time. Because he almost certainly will do so again even if he agrees to no-call in ground rules.
And perhaps an incentive to help him remember is for him to owes you a burger each time he does it, and multiples of the infraction is severe. A few stings like that will sharpen his focus on the matter.
I hope this clears up your question

lol at these fags criticizing brandon. The only apt criticism is he gets a little too sensitive at times but its the way he is. If that's our biggest complaint then the dude's got a pretty decent life.
Some advice, don't let one or two retard posters make you want to stop doing radio or posting. If your problem is with Druff or the way he handles things then kiss this place goodbye and don't look back.
How's the girlfriend?
Just finished listening to the podcast.
Brandon - I have to say you make Druff & Friends infinitely better. In general, I enjoy the 4th hour of the show much more than the 1st, and mainly this is due to the fact that general topics are addressed and it's just two or three friends just shooting the shit about anything they like (a la Joe Rogan Experience).
However - this IS a poker podcast and the poker stuff is a big reason why I listen. Thus, as a european, it is highly important to me that Druff keeps in the online poker news as it affects my day-to-day life.
That said, if poker was eliminated, I would still listen 100% of the time as I love the bants and I listen to podcasts for most of the hours in which I am awake.
In conclusion - keep the format as it is. Druff you can go on for hours about meaningless shit but that's why we love you. Given the choice of an 8 hour podcast with an hour of parking bullshit and a 7 hour podcast without it I would choose the 8 hour podcast 100% of the time. Keep it how it is. 3 or so hours of poker then 3 or so hours of general shit with Brandon is exactly what I want and the elimination of either would be a negative for me.
Just one thing to change imo. No more forum bullshit. Your 45 live listeners might care but your 1000 podcast listeners don't give a fuck about Tyde or Garrett drama and to be quite honest I find it incredibly juvenile. I am undoubtedly the youngest regular listener to this show (21) and quite frankly I feel more mature than every caller you've ever had combined.
If you're still on next week when I wake up for uni in the morning I might call in for a chinwag.
MrTickle.
In regards to the intro (agenda run down) I suggested letting the co-host read it or having Druff just state the topics with a few sentences maximum description for each instead of 2 minutes (or 20) discussing a topic before you even get to it. This will greatly cut out some repetition. I can't really see podcast listeners thinking this always is time well spent but they have the luxury to skip it unlike live listeners.
For podcast listeners I'd be curious to know if they do skip 30+ minute intros sometimes because if a lot of them are then it just confirms even more that the agenda run down is way too long.
I try to listen live when I can but if the majority are listening later on it only makes sense to target the them.
Mentioning the freeroll isn't a bad plug since it promotes people to maybe become forum members and it don't take long to say "Tonight's freeroll is at 8:15 PST and the prize pool is "x" amount. More information can be found reading the radio show topic in the Flying Stupidity section of the forum".
Certain things could flow a bit better is all.
another great show gentlemen. let the bullshit drama go and don't change anything with the show..
Only thing I fast forward is the song usually. And josie's cousin whatshername. She was just awful a few months ago.
Greatly appreciate the time and effort all hosts put in, but please no more Garrett calls. The guy's an unintelligent and paranoid child.
Great Show as always!
Love the long agendas, rituals, sound effects and marathon shows!
Druff was doing a great job for awhile about announcing the agenda within the first 1/2 hour. I guess he forgot to just get through the agenda quickly. He seems to think he needs to explain the agenda topics while announcing them. He should know that just reading through them WITHOUT explaining then at the beginning of the show is good enough.
_____________________________________________
Finished listening to this show. Brandon is god as usual. If Daredevil were a stock I would rate him a strong buy. Given my recent record it may not be saying much but I think it is.
Let the record show that I not once ever complained to Druff regarding receiving IMs from Garrett. I may have mentioned something in passing to the tune of fuck garrett has been sending me a lot of IMs but his threats and stupid shit was just lol to me. Never gave it a second though.
Also that guy from Texas near the river should become another cohost. Guy cracked me up.
I am listening to the show now while waiting for a flight. Brandon walking out because he was upset about a caller being allowed on air is completely pathetic and makes me lose respect for him. I agree, he is awesome no radio, but it is cringe worthy when he reacts like that. Its being a complete selfish baby and no I dont give a shit you've been a round for a while, that is bitch made behavior, wow.

I have been in contact with Matt Marifioti and he has arranged to give me an interview.
I am willing to conduct this interview on Poker Fraud Alert and have sent my terms to Dan Druff by DM.
He has until midnight to let me know if he is interested, if not, I will interview him on another platform.
