Someone just give Matt a damn hug pls

[@laurenashley90]

His face when Carly cut him off about his owala killed me 😂😭🤍 All in good fun, & love though! 😂

[@GoodInfluences]

we all hug before and after every episode

[@Forestmcmillin1]

@@GoodInfluencesI feel like Erin wrote this

[@ashleyj710]

@@Forestmcmillin1 my guess is Carly lol

[@GIJaneUSAF]

I guess that it was Matt who wrote it! lol

[@0429karola]

Carly looks so fire. The navy top! The hair! Just stunning.

[@erin-clareboulet3211]

totally agree!

[@NicoleThatcher-xi7sv]

I NEED to know where that navy top is from 😍

[@mel73760]

Her hair, her jeans, eyebrows, her top! She definitely looks fire today. ❤

[@Kkshep]

yes!! i think carly and i have the same undertones and i feel SO good wearing navy

[@carys.huff20]

I RAN to the comments to say this!! She’s killin it

[@morganjackson3905]

am I the only one that would love if they put pics of the stuff/people they’re talking about??? i’ll be so into the convo then have to pick up my phone to look up what they’re talking about😭 love the pod

[@alexcobb8766]

Nah that would mean more work during editing. Sorry.

[@alanahatcher7365]

I wish they did put the pics. Like when they pull it up from their phones.... yes!

[@melsss1323]

I think I dislike Erin saying “we’ve talked about this already” or “you’ve already said that story” more than the interrupting

[@toddjohnson1418]

As someone who also remembers all their stories, I appreciate Erin not allowing repeats, tbh. Lol

[@BigHughJazz]

LET PEOPLE RETELL STORIES

[@POOLIPO]

Agreed

[@shirlaay1991]

But for new listeners I’m sure they’d want to hear the story

[@11annemari]

Poor Matt 😭 he just wants yall to have the best podcast possible

[@Carol-mn9xq]

Exactly! Why are Mike and Erin so against it? You can clearly see Matt retreating and crossing his arms as a defense mechanism

[@isidorastevanovic]

yes!! why wouldn´t you want to acknowlege constructive feedback that improves the vibe? also Carly is the coolest for being able to put herself in the others shoes and always tries to acknowlege Matt´s feelings, that´s how it should be

[@kyliesorenson2114]

i’m too empathetic for this lmaoo😭 i feel you matthew

[@lilypichon8221]

I stopped watching I felt bad

[@c_5399]

As a non-reddit gossip pager, talking over each other does get annoying at times but not enough for me to stop listening. But thank you Matt for pointing it out!

[@elizabethdadds7727]

to answer Matt’s question, the gen z equivalent to froyo is probably boba

[@morganinMT]

This podcast always makes me realize I am so Matt-Coded 😂 What's wrong with taking a comment into consideration if it means a possibly improved product? The talking over each other doesn't bother me, but knowing Mike and Erin could essentially give a single fuck about what their fans have to say is a bit disheartening and made me feel like shit as a listener if I'm being honest. Kudos to you Matt!

[@kennedymcnab]

Facts

[@Oglivhon]

YUP

[@Kkshep]

same even during the Am i the Asshole episodes i always agree with him

[@Kkshep]

you can tell he sees hosting as a craft, and that’s why he wants to learn ways to make it better, i think that’s part of why he’s so successful on every podcast he’s on

[@Carol-mn9xq]

I really hope Matt reads these comments. Erin and Mike treated him so badly

[@Edude0519]

Matt does get interrupted a lot

[@toddjohnson1418]

He does. But he also talks a lot, so it makes sense. 😂

[@minori5637]

When it’s back and forth banter I don’t mind when people talk over each other as long as I can make out what’s being said, but there have been times when Matt, for example, will be telling a story and someone will interrupt him to say something completely unnecessary and we sometimes never hear the end of his sentence 💔 it’s never so annoying that I’m like “I’m never listening to them again” but I do feel blue-balled. Perhaps I’m more sensitive to this bc I’m a quiet person and I HATE when the more talkative people in the room hijack my story and end up changing the topic after I finally find a break in the conversation to speak. Then I just feel too awkward to circle back and finish my point.

[@zariaxoxo]

i honestly don’t mind that y’all talk over each other, I don’t really notice most times. I think it’s shows that you’re passionate about the conversation and engaged with it! also that you’re real friends having a discussion and real friends talk over each other, cut each other off and finish each other sentences. love y’all💗

[@therealnaedior]

i agree with this entire statement !

[@jessicadaugherty7967]

Guys, maybe Matt doesn't like being interrupted. Maybe he just wants his full thoughts to be heard. As friends, you should at least be considerate.

[@emilygoodwin8141]

THIS

[@maya19515]

matt stop commenting on your own videos

[@Oglivhon]

THIS.

[@molly828]

I agree. It's frustrating that when someone (mostly Matt) is saying something they don't agree with they just keep pushing back until he finally backs down. **Said with love. Clarifying since they seemed to be bothered by anything that isn't 100% positive.

[@jessicadaugherty7967]

I agree with ya, girl. You can see how he really feel sall over his face. It's so sad that these are "friends." He is so forgiving that's for sure.@@molly828

[@RF-tr2ji]

matt is right about talking over each other, that is for all podcasts. its very everyone against matt over something objectively annoying just for the sake of all being against matt...who would want to listen to anything indiscernible. confused why any of the other hosts would have such strong feelings against that. its annoying to talk over someone in real life, why would anyone want to choose to listen to that in podcast format? very confused how this is even an argument. he is right also that its not something anyone wants to hear them argue about.

[@andreaicaza8977]

Talking over each other feels like a big family. It’s nice background noise at work. 😊

[@GoodInfluences]

So true! we are family 💛

[@annieroan875]

I empathize with Matt because the podcast started a lot more structured with simple topics yall all round table talked about in turn. It’s devolved to more of a hangout podcast now that the topics have been very vague.

[@Meghanalyssa99]

“No, I never got bullied. I’m co, I’m cool..” I love Mike that was hilarious hahaha

[@Robin-ladybug]

Matt’s always coming with the best intentions! I always love his takes on things.

[@hayawaheedlarik313]

matt, i completely understand u buddy, but i genuinely never felt that you guys talk over each other. i love the podcast

[@laurenashley90]

I would totally wear a crew neck that said ‘be a good influence’ with the tv logo on the back. So simple so fun!

[@laurenashley90]

Each word y’all take turns & write in your handwriting, so it’s personal & funky. Or every other letter would be fun too!

[@emilytorro6467]

I’m with Matt on this, this poor man just wants to finish his sentence 😭

[@scrollinYT]

IT IS COMMON COURTESY TO NOT SPEAK OVER SOMEONE ELSE IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH A RANDOM COMMENT HELLO EARTH TO MIKE

[@karlipruitt5458]

THANK YOU

[@marcusberryy]

Random tangents and talking over each other IS part of the charm. Especially if your an audio listener. Feels like I'm in the room with y'all.

[@lucyes17]

the interrupting matt bit was so good

[@laurabaxter1995]

I was screaming

[@Stephteoo]

I could cry for Matt just from the first three minutes I know it’s hee hee ha ha funny not a big deal but like omg aww

[@Carol-mn9xq]

Erin is so condescending

[@carys.huff20]

“I won’t allow it” YOU GO MATT IM ROOTING FOR YOUUUUUUUU ALWAYS and all of you but Matt stand on BUSINESS

[@st14782]

I come from a big southern family, I don’t even notice you talking over each other, keep doing it lol ❤

[@st14782]

And also Matt, your besties at B&C, and even unfiltered talk over each other. I also watch pretty basic and apparently they do it too. I know these pods have a VERY similar audience bc i watch them all. We like the chill, hangout, friends chatting style of conversation. Being interupted is part of it ❤

[@europeweekender2020]

This podcast has the most awkward silences/lulls ever. And its usually Matt who brings it back up to life

[@joshualimon8455]

Mike definitely got bullied. He's projecting now. "I'm cool!" Said no cool kid ever.

[@maya19515]

Carly your hair looks so good!

[@lashonnad2298]

Some talking over will happen. But I tend to agree at times it happens a lot. I think for example when it’s like ugh,is say, Mike is trying to say one thing and gets interrupted like 4x before he can get it out. And I think Matt is taking what that person says as a way to improve verses just brushing that person off.

[@summmerrjohnson]

It’s concerning how often I relisten to y’all’s pod eps & I’ve never noticed yall talking over each other love yall lol

[@eden2225]

Sameee they’re the only podcast I can stand in my ears while working and I’ve listened to every episode at least 2/3 times and never noticed lol

[@St97112]

Sooo telling why Matt is the most successful one of the group

[@okuurrrr]

Stop attacking Matt! I’m so happy Carley came to his defense. Imma be honest, only two people really make the show…and their names start with a M and a C

[@allysondenton.5673]

i know it’s probably my pregnancy hormones but the matt thing made me sooo sad 🤣😭

[@Kennnayyy]

"He littered? On the moon!? Nice" 😂

[@val3426]

matt I agree with you 100%!! I don’t love the talking over each other it’s hard to follow and gets uninteresting at times. also I just don’t appreciate the way it felt (I’m not saying it did) like it was everyone against Matt and almost invalidating his feelings 😢

[@claireoverpeck1811]

Love this but maybe dont discussing what viewers do and dont like…and just do! It feels like the last few episode it starts with the same discussion. We dont care what the “haters” say…we love you guys just do you! Love the podcast…also poor matt always getting flamed RIP.. he just wants to make the show better!

[@Carol-mn9xq]

So Mike and Erin don’t give a crap about the listeners and our experience? That’s what I got from the first few minutes of the episode. I wish the podcast was just Carly and Matt

[@Jade-sm2ql]

I think the interrupting and talking over is what makes this podcast very enjoyable to listen to I love the almost chaotic siblings at a family dinner vibe it gives 😂

[@Marvelousmaiz]

I don’t think it’s terrible at all when y’all talk over each other, it’s giving friends having a conversation. Love you guys sm 🫶🏽

[@rdom4783]

Y’all gotta do a true crime or unsolved mysteries episode !!!

[@gabrielagarzon6566]

HAHA MATT poor baby, we love the chaos

[@daisy9169]

Carly interrupting Mike at 1:58 to say she had such bad cramps had me rollinggggg 😭 Matt’s reaction bruh

[@isidorastevanovic]

actually Matt is right this time! it does drive me insane when they all talk at the same time - then we can´t understand any sentence properly... when it´s two people it´s okay sometimes, but more than that is actually annoying. also please put pictures in the video of what you are talking about/showing each other :) just some constructive feedback, love you guys x

[@jenileighb]

Carly looks SO EFFING GORGE lately. Glowing. Queen. Blues her color. Her hair is so cute. But…. Is her pants unbuttoned? Lol

[@leahmatthews669]

She said she has her period so she’s probably just bloated or in pain

[@bdrixx]

talking over each other and doing your thing as you naturally do is why i like you guys, it's like listening to my friends talk (also carly you look amazing girly)

[@wendythebaker]

I love when yall talk over each other

[@rubycovarrubias21]

I must say I do not like the talking over each other and I feel Matt’s pain!!! But again, we can only control our actions. Love you Matty ❤

[@ezeleng]

I was with Matt before I knew they were pranking him. I was so overstimulated, which is not what I want from a podcast 😆 edit: at the end of the day it is your podcast and y’all can just “hang out” and be super laid back like Mike described but I think it makes sense to listen to feedback to see how your audience is liking your content. It doesn’t mean you’ll change but the connection with audience will be there. Like mentioned above, I personally get super overstimulated if people start talking over each other, but if I’m the odd one out- I wouldn’t expect y’all to change that completely.

[@kaylapereira2822]

You guys do talk over each other a lot! Glad matt is saying something, love the pod!!!

[@AlissaPanda]

The beginning of this podcast stressed me out lol. I personally don’t love when everyone is talking over each other because i can be sensitive to sound. But do as you please, it’s your show!

[@allybharris]

the Jonas brothers came to my middle school in the early 2000s too (we’re in South Jersey) they opened with “Mandy” and we all went WILD - it was honestly the coolest experience as a middle schooler 🥲

[@carys.huff20]

“A little guns under the tables situation” that was a very Matt thing of you to say Matt😂😭

[@jbnks1995]

friends talk over each other. please don’t stop, it would be weird lol

[@beatrizcunha635]

I listened to some podcast episodes where people didn't interrupt each other but that didn't make them “better”, because in the end what matters is whether you like or identify with people. You're all funny, you don't take yourself too seriously, and that's what I like❤️

[@susieo5116]

Not Matt getting mad on this podcast that they talk over him when they always talk over him and dismiss him all the time on unfiltered 😂

[@toddjohnson1418]

Well, this podcast they’re more all equals. He’s the low man on the totem pole on Unfiltered. lol

[@CatherineHair55]

I watch both podcasts and I definitely feel like he gets interrupted more often over here. He seems to get an annoyed look on his face pretty often when he is annoyed

[@susieo5116]

@@CatherineHair55 I also watch/listen to both and he just seems like more of a wimp on unfiltered. He lets them walk all over him.

[@Jayhenn]

I watch the pod and sometimes just do audio only when I’m driving and i will say the interruptions aren’t chaotic when I’m watching. However, when I’m doing audio only and everyone is talking over eachother, it can get a little chaotic and confusing. I mean obviously it doesn’t last long but that’s the only thing that jumbles my brain.

[@Forestmcmillin1]

I personally love when they talk over each other

[@alisontorres71]

Saying this as someone who used to lurk on snark subreddits- people who frequent those pages, particularly people who actually post on them, are some of the most miserable and insecure people on the internet. Do not take anything they say to heart. They will ALWAYS find something to nitpick. Love you guys!!

Matt’s right to be aware of the criticism. It only makes the production better. Why not change certain things and be better at what you’re doing. The views clearly reflect a disinterest from your followers. From, Someone who used to watch regularly and now doesn’t.
