[@jackmchugh7961]

It really does make my blood boil when people feel the need to complain about the dumbest shit, it’s their podcast and they can upload whatever they want.

[@kasscopper]

personally I don't mind if y'all need to record far in advance, especially since you post every week, i just appreciate the consistent engaged content:D

[@gabrielagarzon6566]

the disappoinment in Matts voice when he says "......carly" after searching how many final destination movies are 😂

[@jasonhunter2819]

I GET her confusion though, because if you Google Final Destination 15, there's a fan fiction thing that pops right to the top!...but yeah it's not a real movie haha...this episode had me cackling

[@NeonTearsx3]

I've never minded the fact that the podcasts are pre recorded, lol. I actually appreciate it, y'all always make sure you've got an episode to serve every week! And I eat it up every time.

[@sabm1419]

Carly really made me google this Final Destination 15 because I’ve seen them all and there’s only 5 😂

[@hallimorgan2744]

Matt is so right for the Owala pitch. Sippin' out of mine now, and it is truly the greatest thing I've ever purchased.

[@miranduh04]

“Do I look like a muppet?” 💀💀 Matt, that had me dying

[@io2255]

no one picked up on it lmaoo

[@gabrielagarzon6566]

it's cute how mike inmediately after being gifted the sweater puts it on :3 because he doesn't care about clothe but doesn't want to repeat outfits for the podcast, i can just see him being relieve that he has a new piece so he can postpone going shopping

[@Chris.317]

The final destination 15 part was insane lmao

[@Beecee07]

Not them talking about my comment thread 😭😭 I don’t mind the repeated stories since I watch Matt everywhere it will happen but I was trippen out lol , I rewatch these pods like 100x love y’all ! Repeated old episodes and all

[@Beecee07]

My original comment wasn’t hate btw but there was ppl under it that were mad af , I’d rather a weekly one even if it’s outdated then nothing at all

[@Hugging1D]

erin had such a glow up idk i don’t remember her ever looking THIS GOOD

[@22Angelbby]

leaving David’s circle was the best thing carly & erin could’ve done tbh

[@Unknownuser89878]

I don't care about the dated topics but I wanted soooooo badly for an entire episode to be about that submarine hahaha

[@rachelaureenb6]

I literally take Mike's side in EVERY discussion they have. We have the same central jersey blood

[@User02179]

LOVE THIS PODCAST SO FUCKING MUCH. I APPRECIATE ALL OF YALLLLL SO MUCH!!!

[@emelymarte]

Matt stressed about his shoelaces like we can see it 😂😭

[@YeahThatsKyle]

I love how Erin goes “I want them to finish the fight” 😂😂

[@cro20]

I don’t mind the prerecorded episodes but I will say maybe what can help the situation is to avoid super time-dependent topics if you know it will be uploaded later? It can be a bit awkward to listen to a discussion about whether the submersible will be found when it’s already imploded 😅 just as an example. But it’s definitely not a huge bother and i love the pod 🫶🏼

[@passivelyobsessive5460]

I'm glad you guys don't take these unnecessary comments to heart. On that note, I will make a small complaint. I wish whoever edited would have shown the Erin interpretation of a Mike hug. It literally cut away from them before the hug and cut back afterwards. I think I got the gist, but still kind of funny. (side note: I know editing must be hard, just had to say this)

[@notmariasanchez]

i loved all the scary movie talk in this episode, y’all should do spooky reddit stories next month!!

[@BriannaLee124]

I knew it was Carly replying on the thread too 😂😂😂 I love you guys lmao

[@user-ll4wp5tk2n]

Carly : " I know What You'll be Doing Next Summer " 😆

[@toddjohnson1418]

Don’t you hate when podcasters say they’re going to read through comments and then get distracted and don’t? Ugh. (Lol, kidding, y’all are the best)

[@RIPBLANE]

Am I the only one who hasn't even noticed (or would've cared) that the episodes were "dated" or pre-recorded. Happy to see you guys together again (making content) and I've loved every episode. This isn't any of these people's first priority (not their only content to record and not the first priority to film), so be thankful they're taking the time to put this out and if it bothers you that much you're a fake fan. 😅

[@jasonhunter2819]

'she's a Barry Lyndon fan' lol, oh poor Carly getting skewered this episode This whole episode was great, loved everyone's energy! I shot archery when I was younger too Mike, my bow is still in my parent's basement! Always got the little ribbon or whatever at the Ren Fair archery stall since I had practice lol

[@io2255]

that whole bit killed me

[@Franklin2OO7]

30:38 I’ve been obsessed with Supercut lately, I love that Erin thought the same thing I did lol

[@Jawvis]

As a person from Alabama living in the west coast I’m glad y’all are mentioning the flight prices because that’s been my struggle for traveling home for the last 9 years. Ridiculous for no reason lol

[@AbbyLuvsYa1]

Omg just in time! So excited for the pod!I just finished listening to wild til 9

[@kailynpeterson5027]

Best day of the week!!

[@TheKong5323]

LOL i was also picturing Delaney Rowe when they were talking about the therapy date

[@jaxbot13]

Matt invited like 400 hundred people to his wedding, according 😊to a direct quote form his spot on the podcast 'Unfiltered."

[@jaxbot13]

*edit. He revealed this info on the @lightweights pod.

[@lol-oi9tc]

There's something about Mike that keeps growing on me. Keep it up dude ❤

[@lorrenbrown4607]

“Do I look like a muppet?” bye Matt 😭

[@val3426]

I’m in Texas! With the “high quality injector” it is 10 a unit!!!

[@darlingdueck3676]

Ask anyone who works in healthcare about how it is during the time the full moon rolls around 😂

[@giuffridabby]

I don’t care AT ALL what events are current or not, I just LOVE the four of you and would watch you speak about anything!

[@mariamalshamsi7221]

Same

[@alexiam0909]

The actress is Neve Campbell from Scream

[@dancingfreakalicious]

I always get so sad when the episode ends

[@oliviakirkland1158]

0:04 personally i love how they started this episode!!😂😂

[@jblover1822]

Appreciate realer podcasts like this one haha

[@molly828]

I'm not one of the people that complained but i think part of it isn't just talking about a topic a month later but that by then people have heard 20 other podcasts talk about it and are just over it. I always enjoy the episodes regardless.

[@kccarter6578]

oh my god as a utahn i literally grew up getting my hair cut at lunatic fringe HAHAH that's so funny (it's RIGHT next to a laser tag place in so. utah!)

[@samanthadavila4084]

1:08:48 everyone’s reaction has me laughing with tears 😭 pope Mike

[@victoriaramirez2105]

There’s a lunatic fringe here in Boise and I spent an ungodly amount of money on a color and cut (at least for Idaho standards) BUT they have the kindest stylists & they really take care of you!

[@sarahlaverty3346]

lmao the people that complain about the podcast episodes being pre recorded? So what do you just want nothing then? Like what do you expect? Some podcasters will go on vacation for weeks and leave their podcasts hanging and not upload at all. Some people just like to complain.

[@caseyneulieb]

For the softball talk they throw it under hand because they are way closer to the plate than in baseball. so it is easier for baseball to throw over hand because they are 90 ft away from home plate, compared to softball where they are 60 ft away from home plate. and a softball pitch is only once around and they they throw which can get up to 70 mph.

[@edenmannon8686]

I have to have my alarm clock with the red numbers!! I feel like the red is easier to see in the middle of the night without my glasses. And I like to know the time when I wake up at night.

[@Meghanalyssa99]

Great episode!!

[@jennalabadini6800]

Carly seems so happy and upbeat!

[@musicmaniarat]

I have a owala I love the color schemes! I just wish they’d hold hot drinks too

[@__d3vlogs]

Canadians screaming "Neve Campbell! " lololol iconicccccccccccc

[@lindseyh252]

Erin I went back on your insta to find pics of your natural curls and I think you should wear them more u look so good!!

[@arianafranco2199]

i love my owala i saw a tiktok about them like a year ago i bought the black one i love it

[@saeedh24]

Carlys hair for Erins Wedding will always be my favorite. The color, length, and style was so elegant and beautiful

[@Claire-tq8hf]

Erin looks amazing!!

[@kaylabeatty8083]

I had to try that 2x speed thing and i thank you

[@theyJC]

1:05:28 mathematically softball is harder than baseball. the bases are closer & the speed of the approach of a softball on the plate is equal to that of baseball

[@brendadiaz7056]

At 42:20 is that a FART! LMAO

[@Katienthings]

The water bottle 💀

[@melllllll97]

53:34 you can do this in your iphone settings, you don’t need an app

[@mobojen]

i have the same owala as matt

[@gabrielagarzon6566]

Mike must be sooo cute in love

[@anyesepalermo8339]

Literally cry laughed at Matt laughing at Mike lmao sorry it was funny

[@presleymcaree2458]

1:05:52 pitching a softball is actually way easier on your shoulder/elbow. The way guys pitch causes way more injuries. Also the field is smaller so the game is much faster than baseball which makes it better imo lol

[@oliviajudd3613]

I do like when you guys have a specific topic. I like the variety of perspectives and if it goes off the rails, awesome. The topic is like an anchor. But please, dont take this as criticism. At the end of the day, it's your guys' fucking podcast 😂 do whatever you want, imma still listen ❤

[@LovelyLikeLaura]

i personally find it amusing when you guys post an episode talking about something that was current a month prior, it's fun to see what ya'll said before the public perception sets in.

[@shantelrae1]

i’m laughing so hard at 50:04 how carly says “i’m talking about on tiktok” to mike as if she’s talking to her 85 year old grandpa who doesn’t know what’s going on

[@djdesforti]

did matt just call “ghostface” scream 😭😭😭

[@theone1796]

Sorry they're not H3 lmao yall relax, they could talk about whatever and it would be funny at the least. Enjoy what they give us😂

[@katiefoster2169]

Lmao people really do hate on you guys, I don’t get it. This is one of my favorite podcasts, you guys create such fun conversations!

[@hihii3902]

Y’all omg be careful with those drugs 😅

[@sofiall1766]

MATT as a naive Texan fan YOU ARE an Astros fan😤

[@Nicoleneedsahobby]

Owalas deserve all the hype

[@Megan-1234]

“I’s” is not a word

[@TheKrispy1234]

if i want up to date topics, i’ll watch other podcasts :) but please let carly talk about the submarine

[@haydeevazquez5274]

Did I comment that I didn’t like pre filmed vids? Yes. And will I still watch it regardless? Yes…butttttt it would be nice to listen to up to date topics sue me😭

[@peytonkatherine9419]

Francis, Ha is so good

[@awh3399]

Just run an episode of weed. Nobody gives a shit, the people who complain got nothing else to do.

[@shankeduu]

carly short hair is sooo cute on u

[@MrJcwack]

A fellow Vikings fan

[@thechristianmatthews9984]

i love how erin is completely ignoring matt 1:09:18😂😂😂 ……… sooo erin.

[@viviansatterlee5722]

this episode should be titled "how much we pay for our haircuts"

[@TravFletch]

When he said let’s address the elephant in the room, I immediately went to your purple Barney sweater/Snuggie you’re wearing, ladies please help these men!🙏🏻🤣

[@awh3399]

I don’t give a fuck you guys are all great!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@hihii3902]

Matt is very funny lol

[@isabellewis3153]

It's Neve Campbell

[@joshualimon8455]

MATT IS A GEORGE BUSH APOLOGIST!!!!

[@saeedh24]

This is crazy!!!! I wanted Mike to finish his thoughts

[@carolinebaxter5964]

Owala is the way to go

[@peytonkatherine9419]

Honestly kinda hate if there are a ton of spoilers in a podcast. Sometimes I can’t afford to see all of the movies that come out like chill please until they come out to rent

[@TaranBKAUR]

carly looks like the girl from Scooby doobie do

[@txchivette1815]

Mike is looking like the Jewish Grimace😅

[@benjidog1514]

Chaz dean 😂

[@emilyherrera1121]

MIKE WILL MADE IT

[@bonniemae1397]

WAR EAGLE

[@awh3399]

Week lol 😂

[@pierrek2428]

No but y’all could at least edit out the outdated parts instead of uploading it like they’re all new topics? That’s what we’re getting at lol. Y’all’s attitude as a response to our requests is not it

[@danasettles9742]

THANK YOU

[@alinaadzamija]

WHAT?! Golf is soo fun to watch!!! And matt that is what is being done they show certain shots from all kinds of players that are currently playing, very rarely do they follow just one group playing all 18 holes that maily happens early in the broadcast when not a lot of people ar playing yet. But otherwise its super exciting because they go back and forth and show the most exciting or meaningful shots

[@cameronaskenette3465]

SKOL

[@MarkPrince-gc6lg]

45:54 Do we like George Bush or not? Grow a back bone and decide for yourself instead of being a sheep and trying to fit in with your friends

[@danasettles9742]

you know, i just shouldnt have cared about your content being better at all, lmao, considering i was being pretty nice, and youre on a public platform..??? PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CRITICIZE THE CONTENT YOU PUT OUT REGARDLESS, SORRY I CARED ENOUGH TO TELL YALL IT WAS BECOMING MEDIOCRE AT BEST WITH HOW DATED EVERYTHING WAS??? ITS A PODCAST, it felt OLD because they were OLD? BUT OH FOREVER SO GRATEFUL FOR THE CONTENT WHEN YOU COULDVE JUST STOPPED POSTING FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU WANTED? OR MADE ONE EXTRA LONG EPISODE, BUT AFTER 2 MONTHS OF EPISODES COMING OUT AND ALL FEELING DATED, yeah id rather just have no content at all. i mean when hoot and a half came back it felt so nice just feeling like they just took the time they needed, nothing being dated, instead of putting out lazy older content? whats even funnier, i knew it was carly, didnt even need to be told, but thanks for acknowledging it; once again lmao 🤣🤣, maybe there will be more effort in your future episodes, who knows🤷🏻‍♀️🤣👏🏼 also the funniest part about it all, passive aggressively commenting back at me wasnt enough, you had to make the whole first 10 mins of your podcast with you being so pressed that someone criticized your content, whatever makes the video last longer i guess, glad i could be apart of the conversation😮‍💨🤣🫶🏼

[@danielabrown3464]

this is way too long lmao

Go touch some grass girl

[@danasettles9742]

@@lalangbelalang*ticket number 1: PICK ME, PICK ME, PICK ME, you're up* 🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️ youre commenting on something that had nothing to do w you? okay... pick me much? sounds like you should touch some grass🤣 pretty sure if someone used their podcast to talk shit about you when all you were trying to do was give a f*** about the quality of their content, you'd respond too; but instead you can continue to be a pick me, and not actually care about what kind of content you get because as long as youre getting ANYTHING we should just be grateful and not complain right? 🤣 these people got mfs so brainwashed that they cant even be honest w them because they cant take criticism😂 its pathetic being a group of 30 yr olds having to sit there and attack someone that only wanted better?🤣 instead lets make money off this podcast doing completely nothing and reading ads and still complaining because your viewers ACTUALLY wanted BETTER content from you, that wild😂 like yea, lets just complain ab how someone said they were disappointed but in reality, this podcast became lazy and everyone that defends it clearly doesnt care about this podcast ACTUALLY growing because no one wants better for them than where they are right now , at least i can be confident with myself knowing that, just because i love these people so much, doesnt mean they should be able to walk all over me as a viewer?😂 makes sense why the views have steadily declined and theyre not pulling in any new views, it clearly shows they dont care about growth, opinions from viewers, or becoming better; they're comfortable with how much money they make from the podcast, and people don't expect anything better because omg, cant hurt their feelings..just have to shut up and be grateful 🫢🫣🤫🤣 anyways, im sure this was long enough to give you some time to go touch some grass, howd it feel? 🍃🫶🏼

[@mariamalshamsi7221]

I aint reading all of that

[@JOHNWICKSBLACK]

Wow.. That's wild the way we can spin words and not take time to really read things the way the could have been said. Especially when there was more than one person on multiple of your videos adressing the samething but hey mabye the person you choose to respond to just really caught your attention somehow who knows 😂😊. You know it makes sense why there's alot bigger people out there growing 10xs more consistently. I find it crazy reading some of these comments in most of your videos because alot of people genuinely look forward to your content and how many of those people hope to have a real conversation with any of you... heated or not but just wanting to feel acknowledged or heard. I was never that into you as a group but had moments where I found myself wanting to briefly listen but wow with that type of interactions with your viewers... it's just disappointing. From an outside perspective I really believe you could've handled that better, joke or not I'm sure if you really took time to read what was commented on your videos you might have understood more since you felt the need to speed how much time on it? Lastly again not being someone who regularly follows everything about all of you seems like you guys are worried about keeping videos more consistent with numbers with back to back releases keeping your stats and benefits up. Otherwise if you don't have time to make fresh content every single week (location and duh living a life) or do want to take more time in-between videos from one perspective it would almost make since to consider a longer video to make up for the time slot of missing a week or so before the next content release. but again could be completely wrong as I don't care enough to really dig into it just caught me at a laughable moment. Really hope you have a wonderful day again nothing was said with disrespectful just really surprised that everyone on the podcast agreed with how to approach the situation.
