It's amazing watching the expressions the dads when talking about their daughters. Take @35:28 for example. Michael is talking about Iris suplexing Luna. Geoff and Ryan have an expression of like genuinely living in that moment and reflecting on raising their own, whereas Jeremy is just enjoying the story and is probably imagining a WWE match. (and no, that's not me saying anything bad on Jeremy)

Yeah it should Burnie Geoff Matt and Michael to start with and then by 500 episodes we can see what it’s derailed into

[@Pengwenn]

Geoff's new show should be called "Life with Geoff" and just be about his life experiences with guests and their lives. Geoff is so fascinating to listen to and I'm sure he knows so many wonderful people in the Austin community (and beyond) to have on the show.

Gabe Bitters, I said something similar a while back that Millie, Iris, and now Luna are in wonderful hands between their parents and their Aunts and Uncles at Achievement Hunter. Ryan’s kids are also in good hands.

[@dvt1393]

@Nevieth And I'm sure that they all agree with your opinion, just like I and I'm sure the majority of people do, but they are still comedians and this is still a comedy podcast.

I completely agree. And it's almost sad that we only get this from them, at most, once a year. I'd love a chill podcast like this from them once every few months.

[@caseyr1154]

@@dvt1393 I'm not sure how they'd fit it into their own show, because it is just so out of character for them- Michael described it as wearing someone else's skin. I think it HAS to be this format, where Michael is hosting rather than the guys being guests on Always Open. Even twice a year, if they made up some reason for it, would be amazing

[@gamefreak974]

To the guys’ question that had his gf break up with him, probably won’t see this but I wanna share a little big insight. A friend is someone that will sympathize with you, help you, they want you to grow. If your ex is adamant about not giving you that conversation then you should absolutely not be their friend. Don’t despise her for this if it’s the case because it’s not like you can force someone to be a real friend. Enjoy what you had and try to learn from her what went wrong but if not, just move on, knowing better about what you want from relationships and flags to avoid.

Also, not to throw any rocks, but I find it suspicious that the person does not want to have the talk. Like Ryan said, either she is a really bad communicator or there is something there. Maybe she did something wrong, maybe it is something that he did or is like. But the "talk" is essential if you want to continue having a relationship with different parameters.

[@MrSmurfbob]

I genuinely enjoyed a chill “guys chat”, even if it didn’t all pertain to me, this should be its own show, like a calmer off topic

[@BlueScarabGuy]

I appreciated their answers on the long-winded "should I still be friends" question, but counterpoint: I don't generally want to assume an unreliable narrator, but it's possible that "she never told me why she wanted to break up with me" is actually "she told me to change something about my behavior several times while we were dating and I never listened". That happens, people saying "okay" to stuff like that and don't actually change, and the other person gets fed up with it and doesn't feel like they owe an explanation because they've already been telling you about it beforehand without results. Just a thought, and generally, while it depends on the specific people involved and the level of emotional attachment, yeah, I agree that some space is at least necessary even though I don't think you should just cut contact completely, you can be VERY casual, occasional friends.
