I am once again asking for a single crumb of structure.

I was very excited for the Las Vegas Shooting episode (which is not a sentence I ever thought I'd type), but it was really not good. I generally dislike Billy, but I really don't want to make this a 'Billy ruins everything' type of conversation. I think it initially went off the rails when Billy kept cutting of PFT and trying to shoehorn in his reddit research theories before they could even walk through what was reported to have happened. From there it was a dreadful mix of PFT trying to lay the foundation present the situation while Billy went from 0-to-Mohammed bin Salman REAL fast. To be fair, PFT/Arian also got pretty snippy toward the back end and it seemed like none of them wanted to be there after they gave Billy his 10-minute brain break.

IMO this entire thing could've been avoided with even the smallest amount of structure to the show. Hell, not even to the *entire* show- just to the topic in question for the week. Stage 1: present topic (generally accepted facts, reports, response, general convention / explanations, etc.) Stage 2: possible other agents involved and unanswered questions from Stage 1. Stage 3: More extreme / fringe theories and tinfoil-hat type stuff. Stage 4: rebuttals and critiques of all previous stages. Just SOMETHING to keep them from cutting each other off and trying to weave 50 different threads together at once.

Anyway, can't wait to see what we're all complaining about next week.

Billy Jones doubles down on snackrodosing. Apparently he got some DM’s, which of course are totally real, and this further evidence has now solidified his stance that it was a weapons deal. Of course none of it made any fucking sense and his final thesis statement is “uh you know it’s, weird, you know it’s uh weird.”

He really is a bellend.

You know your pod is in trouble when Billy is the one putting in the most effort

This constructive criticism is a nice change up from the annoying rant posts from other redditors. I want them to allow billy to finish a thought before rebutting his ideas. I agree the cutting each other off part makes it hard to focus.

Good thoughts. Definitely agree not a usual Billy fan, this episode was worse than most, and PFT and Arian are also to blame.

The pod has changed from the start. That doesn't mean it's bad (or at least I don't mind it) but if you're looking for a good conspiracy podcast this is not it. None of the hosts are experts on anything they talk about and I don't think any of them are particularly good researchers.

Ehh chill out. Everyone ranted on Tuesday, myself included. The show is what it is at this point. Either stop listening or accept it.

I’m just frustrated that they are cutting off his ideas, and conspiracy retellings….on a conspiracy podcast. The whole point of this show is to listen to some crazy ideas that may not be true but it’s a conspiracy. They act like if they explain a conspiracy people are going to take it as cold hard truth. Jimminey crickets if Everything had cold hard evidence it wouldn’t be considered a conspiracy pft.

I totally agree- I wanna hear the off-the-rails theories and shit, but I do think they would benefit from actually getting through the explanation of the topic they are talking about before the veer off into that.
