I’m going to miss them being at Baha Mar! They just sound like they’re having the best time , spending times with Anna and their families. I love hearing their stories and refer to their inside jokes from this week. I hope they get a bunch of new listeners and that they can spend another week there in the future.

Does this make ‘baiting better? Asking for a friend

Sorry to be a Debbie downer and make a hater post, but I just gotta know if anybody feels the same way I do about Chris Crofton.

I know he's a fan favorite for most people, but I personally don't actually enjoy listening to him ramble off the same rant 3 seperate times and take 45 minutes to get through overrated/underrated. Then when we finally get to the main part of the show we're lucky if they can go 5 whole minutes without him derailing the discussion.

Every time he's on Jack and Miles get through maybe 2 of the stories they're supposed to. I just find all of the episodes with him frustrating, does anybody else agree or am I the lone hater of everyone else's favorite guest?

At about minute 23, Miles did an impression of Elon while they were talking about banging in Waymo’s that was so good. The voice was wiggly and insecure. I fucking howled laughing.

One of my favorite bits but I've never seen the original interview. Would love to laugh at him one last time. RIPB.
