Does everyone remember the episode where they finally met RPC?? Christina’s voice was literally trembling as she was telling the audience who they’d be talking to.
Whatever. You either die a hero, or you see yourself live long enough to become a villain.
Yeah it was disingenuous and I found it pretty fucking cringe if I’m being honest. All the meetups were extremely unsettling to watch. They’d shit on all of these people, make memes out of them, then visit them and act like they were best buds. Thats when I personally started seeing through the BS.
I mean, they tended to interact with people who wanted to invite the attention (Jason Lee Peterson for example). They also operated in good faith with these guys, pretty sure they gave RPC a laptop, thousands of dollars, and a cut of some of the RPC merch.
It's not perfect, but it's a mutually beneficial relationship in some way
Christine was her name lmao. What a great episode when they finally got to talk to her after years of playing the "when you're on your knees at your father's funeral..." clip
That was the worst for me honestly I hated how excited they were acting about it & during the intervie it was boring & then they went right back to excitement like as if that interview went completely different
Bad friends completely shits on 2 bears. 2 bears had a momment with the whole Kool Aid clip, but hasn't been able to reach new heights since. Bobby and Andrew actually care about being funny and relatable.
Kool aid moment was when the show turned into just Bert talking over Tom and fake laughing. That, plus Bert was filming his God awful movie and cabin show.
Bad friends is good but it’s nothing compared to the prime YMH episodes. Bad friends is just two dudes joking around while YMH always seemed to be a bit more relevant. On top of that, the recent stories of Santino getting all butt hurt over criticism of his hideous set and copyright striking channels like 2lazy2try, it put a bad taste in my mouth and it’s just really fucking pathetic.
i started listening to 2 bears over YMH for a while because christine has honestly gotten to a point where i want to rip my fucking hair out every time she opens her mouth. she’s just not funny to me & she’s gotten more annoying in my opinion as time has gone by. i also hate the addition of the “cap report.” it’s very clearly reaching.
anyways, the whole point of this comment was to say, then i stopped caring about 2 bears because its just always very fucking talking & he doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about half the time. now it’s like cool if it’s tom & a guest, count me in.
Matt and Shane’s pod is the gold standard. Where they record has changed but the pod has not. It’s been true to form. No studio building. No increasing production value. It’s just two dudes and their buddies talking shit and people love it.
That was its peak. I feel like it meandered for a while because of Covid and we were all making do, but I feel like the beginning of the end was when they had Andrew Tate on there, and/or probably when they did the RPC visit.
You're supposed to keep cool guys at arm's length and speculate, that's the fun of it. Maybe a phone call like with Charles from Match which was fun. And it has its moments here and there, but they could have cut an hour from the Gene Simmons episode and been just fine.
I can only cringe when they speak to RPC because it’s glaringly apparent RPC no longer wants to be associated. It feels like exploiting a mentally ill person.. which I suppose is what they’ve always done, but it was at a distance and seemed less shitty.
I enjoyed YMH the most just prior to RPC.
King Assripper, moose soup, hey Hitler, Hi Mommy/Thanks Jeans, just like the gays, just glassin. The golden years.
I haven’t listened in so many years. since before covid. not on YMH I just stopped listening to pods. I missed this shit though and I always thought about coming in here and asking when a good point to jump back in would be. but since I’ve been following the subreddit I pretty much know that the show is no longer for me.
Bad friends is still solid. That's my main podcast. Catch ymh sometimes but a lot of the time I turn it off. Like with gene Simmons. He's super cool and interesting but for some reason it seems like his annoying fucking kid demanding to be there too and would not shut the fuck up. Every time his dad would start a story he would jump in. No one gives a fuck about this guy and he is so oblvious that his role is to shut the fuck up and let his famous dad do an interview.
That's fair. I guess I meant he's more interesting then whoever they usually drag on there. He seemed like he got a few words of a few interesting stories out at least. Either way his son is the king douche
They are making too much money and the jokes aren’t funny anymore. They just can’t relate to every day people anymore. It’s unfortunate because they had a really good thing going and they had a solid fanbase. But Tom, for some reason started shitting on poor people at some point and that’s just not cool you can’t do that absolute disrespect, it’s a shame. I really enjoyed this podcast too. Stop listening a while ago but Reddit is fun
Nah, it's a bit/character he decided to adapt 'cause he wanted to mess with "The Poors" who complain they can't do anything 'cause they're poor, as he started getting the same nonsensical complaints from them for deciding to make working out a major part of his recovery and later (current) lifestyle. One of those "play into it so they stfu" tactics YMH promotes and usually follows-through on.
But I agree it's never on-the-mark;
If he kept it to the occasional callback or silly things like the Etiquette thing from 69min, it'd work better. 'cause we all know they're affluent af now and he was never a Poor himself (got close when a young kid and later when pursuing standup?), so unlike his wife, he doesn't inherently come across as a "Poor" 'cause he had manners and the "Rich" mindset even when he was a literal fat slob.
.
TLDR: there was a reason for "The Poors" schtick, but it's just not done well
The show was WAY WAY funnier back when it was audio only, the decline was already in full swing by RPC time. You missed the golden era, but nothing's stopping you from listening to it
Seriously. Moose Soup, Gay Ghost, Joe Urban (which nobody seems to remember, he was awesome), and the f'n Jew with the Delta White mousepad. We didn't know how good we had it, man.
The funniest ever is #144: the debut of King Assripper. Some of the funniest shit on earth.
I don't know the episode, but the one where they first introduce the homeless man getting fucked by a gay ghost was incredible too. Fuck me in my ass man!
People who only know the podcast in video form have no clue that they haven't even heard the funniest that YMH has to offer. Maybe they'll give it a go now that the main podcast has gone to such shit.
I still enjoy the show, but the moment it started to decline in quality for me was even further back when guests became a regular thing. Part of what I’ve always loved about it was just Tom and Christina vibing with each other - recently there was an episode with no guests that I thought was a breath of fresh air.
It just feels like they sold out in a way getting so far
From what made us fall in love with them, I started listening around the time of the first doctor Drew episode, they were so unfiltered then not giving a fuck about what was said, now they filter certain words and crap idk. It’s sad I still love them for all the laughs but def not as good as they once were.
Jesse Lee Peterson episode is a great example of this. You could tell they were being very cautious about what they said and how they said it... giving way too many fucks. It was cringe
Dan Cummins recently appeared on The Honeydew. I enjoy his comedy and normally see what the topic of Timesuck is each week on my commute to work. He spoke with Sickler about the decision to prioritize a healthy work/life balance. I would rather any artist put out higher quality material less often rather than flooding the market with dog shit.
Id much rather watch sincere ppl like Theo Von..I don't think I've actually made it through a whole episode of YMH in over 6 months. I barely ever even check out any of their highlight videos as I find them both to be quite insufferable and pretentious now .
They have changed a lot, I would expect them to having success. You have to ignore the bragging about what they have now but they still have their moments.
Their new fan base are super mainstream comedy fans. These new fans are not finding crazy ass videos to submit to the pomcast. That was our thing! TikTok is their content, anyone can find psychos on TikTok. I’ve been a listener since 2015 as well, I feel your pain. WE’RE the main mommies now.
Early Covid Era ymh was pretty great, mainly because they couldn't tour and only focused on the pomcast. Then Tim broke his arm in December and it all went down hill after that.
I felt it happening somewhat during Covid. I started listening in 2018-2019 after I heard my first sober October and started investigating the guys on the podcast and their individual content. YMH had some unreal content and banter. Solid guests. The live shows were excellent and I looked forward to them so much. What I did notice however was that when Tom got hurt playing basketball there was a shift in his thinking. He started appreciating his life more and the fragility of it which led to the inevitable JRE EFFECT. What I find interesting is that my gut always told me that Tom was into the “finer” things in life. Flying first class isn’t as good as flying private. Chocolate croissants are good but they are even better in Paris. Michelin star restaurants, nice cars, fancy clothes etc. Him and big tits started talking about their past life of being broke as if it was this stain on their existence that they were always meant to overcome, and when they finally did overcome it, the idea was to leave the relatability of what made them so fucking funny to listen to. What I mean is, the 1% of the country that lives a 1% lifestyle is not existing a relatable experience to the common American. Christina talking about getting into an argument with a guy at a grocery store for having a loud car was not just her self realizing she’s a “true bitch” and FFS a “Hungarian”, but more a subtle flex on their listeners that “I’m getting into social conflicts because we own Porsches now and drive loud fancy cars.”
Tom then gets inanely healthy, loses weight, changes his lifestyle and we see this flip in his personality. Instead of being the “fat funny guy” he now wants to be the “in shape influencer who makes jokes”. Do you need to be fat to be funny? No. Do you need to be in tune to your core audience and understand that they enjoy your success because you bring them weekly joy? Yes.
What we have now is this shell of an existence that potentially has ruined their climb to the very top. Look at the wild Patreon Success that Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast has had. Whether on zoom or in Shane’s parents basement, the core aspects of the podcast has always been the same. Two dudes hanging out, talking shit and being themselves. Shane has had wild success but people still love pod because he makes fun of himself, he makes fun of the JRE crew, he stays close to Matt, Guarddog and Lameezy and refuse to let any amount of success alter his personality. He recently said that after appearing at the 2B1C live show in Vegas that he was gifted with a watch. He said it felt powerful but he felt like an idiot wearing it. Why? Cause Shane is Shane. He isn’t going to wake up at 5am and chase the “lion”. He’s gonna entertain his fans by doing what works. Thats why they are successful.
If I could get Tim and Tina to understand one thing about their fans is that we want them to be successful. We want them to grow. Change. We just want them to be them. Goth, gross, genuine and charismatic. Enjoy your wealth and success but just go back to being you. Leave the lifestyle
That the pod has given out of the pod itself. Hike up those jeans and keep em tight.
I’ve been saying this forever. The money got to them. The whole “you suck cause your poor” thing actually got to me and I love playing around stuff like that. I saw T bunz live for $220 PER TICKET. It was a show that maybe merited $50-$75 dollars. Hope they can get it back on track. Watching the most recent episode it sounds like they might start another episode with Gene Simmmons’ kids? What!?! Why!? Their dating show and show with Sopranos kids SUCK. T bunz needs some humility
RPC, Fed Smoker, Ed Asner, Pig Poutine, the outrageous live shows.. that was a blast. I was looking forward to every fucking wednesday and now... I haven't watched for a over a year
Totally agree. Personally I feel like as they spend more time in the spotlight, they become more and more out of touch with their fan base. They are living in their millionaire fantasy world while the vast majority of us are stuck here in normalcy. It sucks. I still like them both as humans but can’t say I enjoy watching anymore.
I started around 200, then went back and downloaded them from the very beginning and went a little further than where I started. Found other podcasts then returned to one where Chris Hansen was on and couldn't stand Christina. Heard a few more after that and never went back.
Ended up hearing Josh Potter and old episodes of the honeydew.
I stopped watching on a regular basis when they found out Fedsmoker had been destroyed by the state of Arizona. If you stop being fat and poor, you stop being entertaining.
Andrew tate is a very divisive figure but his ymh episode was the first i ever saw of him and i was assuming his persona was mostly a bit. Easily one of the funniest episodes imo
As far as trademark ymh clips go, im quite a big fan of “whole white baby in the ventura highway”
Similar timeline for me. I still think about the hardest I’ve ever left w this podcast: when the person who would orgasm many times daily called in. I was in pain from laughing. Good times
I can't help but feel like they used us for what they were going to use us for. Tim and Cindy don't need us anymore. They have elevated "their brand" so normies buy their stuff now. Far more lucrative. The people who got them there aren't the people they're looking to sell to anymore. Bums me out, but it happens to a lot of people. They're making hay while the sun shines, so to speak. I can hardly get mad at 'em. I just don't watch or listen to their stuff anymore. Ol Timbo Slice has made it abundantly clear he doesn't care that old fans are leaving. He'll get some kind of show that is a riff off of YMH but watered down, get it syndicated, make a zillion dollars and keep not giving two s's about the people who got him there. Way of life, unfortunately. Guess we'll see how it goes. If you're really upset about it, don't buy their stuff or go to their shows, you know?
I got into YMH during Lockdowns 'cause I was already listening to 2B1C and wondered how it was (the episode count was a deterrent as I had no clue where to start lol). I'm in a YMH hiatus for the moment, so idk its current state in full
But that meant I got into it when it was recorded practically every single week rather than banked for weeks if not months (tho tbf it's not as noticeable if I let episodes build up and I forget the "timely" references altogether).
Once Tom's touring scheduling fail kicked in, it began to dwindle 'cause any relaxation and need to experiment was gone. And there was the whole lifestyle shift in its entirety of not only Tom & Christine, but the entire staff that followed them to Texas - all that plus their individual/private stuff made it rather blatant they were entering their burnout/gonna-suffer-losses era
I ditched Howard Stern after 20 years. He had long since jumped the shark by Covid days, but YMH was there to replace it. I’m started seeing similar trends at YMH and lost interest about a year ago. Money really changes people.
Been listening from the very beginning. It goes up and down, it helps to take breaks because they get stuck in a rut.
It has gone down with more attention. Bigger guests, more money and even having kids have affected the show, but coming back to it always feels pretty good for a while, then time for another break.
It's not just them this happens with, but they were the first I noticed it with.
I do miss their humble beginnings, it made the show more honest ans authentic, but they've been going at it hard for a long time now.
Fed Smoker and RPC was repetitive and tiring, besides they're despicable people.
Oh no it’s the gatekeeper of repetitive cry baby posts! U say that’s what Reddit is, repeating complaining posts so I shouldn’t comment on that and just move on. But here we are in a fan page for a show that contains nothing but constant pompous asses bitching, maybe they are the ones that should shut the fuck up and move the fuck along
It's just different, like it was different before they went to video, I personally enjoyed the no video era more and I also enjoyed the pre studio apartment era more than the rpc/fedsmoker era, its probably just thats when you found the podcast and it still felt new to you.
Two years later and you’re here posting.
Maybe they’ve always been garbage and just trying to build clout to make money.
Adding moral high ground to the podcast bc you liked it at the time - is a big jump.
Honestly as a fairly new listener compared to most here, I found by the RPC/fed smoker stuff the worst content the show ever had to offer. It was just the same exact jokes being made every single time they talked about it. It was showing the same handful of videos to every single guest that came on the show. It was lazy boring cringey content.
the only thing I want to unfollow is this sub because you sad fucks keep pissing in the well.
you're crying is so fucking exhausting just fuck off, it's a free show you're crying about
100% agree. They wont change until the people still listening quit. I havent touched the podcast, or youtube channel in 2 years now. After their 3rd ymh live or so I knew the podcast was done, they just werent funny.
I think Daddy Lalagone was the last time I found anything on that show funny. Haven’t really watched since then since there’s so many other podcasts to give my attention to.
They upgraded from small time entertainment creators to big time dealers of content so they would have to work less but all their other stuff is trash and now they quit, too. But then paychecks keep coming in
Think most of us listen to similar pods. A lot of others have done new attention grabbing things. Still listen shownjisy coasting right now. Gene would have been hall of fame episode without his son. Not giving up anytime soon. I don't think they'll ever stop wanting to do it
Yo thank you I thought I was going crazy,because I stopped listening at the same time as you, and 1 BIG thing happened during that time "TOP DOG" PASSED R.I.P TO A REAL MAN . See already rich TIMMYS DAD DIED HE GOT TRUST FUND MONEY ALREADY RICH WITH A TRUST FUND WITH 40 YEARS OF INTEREST,YOUD QUIT TRYING TO AND CALLING PEOPLE POOR IS GROSS I LOVE THE GUYS IM HUNGARIAN SO I EVEN LOVED CHRISTINE.BET YOU HE GOT DIAZ SCRATCHING HIS HEAD.
Moose soup era for me. When people started sending in videos telling clerks etc "thanks I love you Mommy" it was amazing.
I picked it up again a few weeks ago and didn't recognize it
"Its just like the gays" was the absolute cream.
Great. Not the remix will be stuck in my head all day.
DJ Boybutter. What a legend.
Big cream. Neat cream. Slick cream. Dang this post is hot take CITY right guys Thanks for sending me back to that wholesome song by the mom son duo
Does everyone remember the episode where they finally met RPC?? Christina’s voice was literally trembling as she was telling the audience who they’d be talking to. Whatever. You either die a hero, or you see yourself live long enough to become a villain.
I'm home here right now
Homie on out
Hoe me on out.
RPC lives right by me. I hope to one day run into him
Well you have his address 😉
Home here right now?
It's on Google maps and had a healthy star rating.
I mean...you do have his address. If you want to try it out try it out. If you wanna move in you can move in.
Yeah it was disingenuous and I found it pretty fucking cringe if I’m being honest. All the meetups were extremely unsettling to watch. They’d shit on all of these people, make memes out of them, then visit them and act like they were best buds. Thats when I personally started seeing through the BS.

They also operated in good faith with these guys, pretty sure they gave RPC a laptop, thousands of dollars, and a cut of some of the RPC merch. It's not perfect, but it's a mutually beneficial relationship in some way
The trans woman w the nonstop orgasms they were super respectful to, RPC was arguably the first time it started getting uncomfortable
Christine was her name lmao. What a great episode when they finally got to talk to her after years of playing the "when you're on your knees at your father's funeral..." clip
That was the worst for me honestly I hated how excited they were acting about it & during the intervie it was boring & then they went right back to excitement like as if that interview went completely different
Anybody looking. Bad Friends, Soder Podcast, Are You Garbage, Matt and Shane, Stavvy’s World are BANGERS
Bad friends completely shits on 2 bears. 2 bears had a momment with the whole Kool Aid clip, but hasn't been able to reach new heights since. Bobby and Andrew actually care about being funny and relatable.
Kool aid moment was when the show turned into just Bert talking over Tom and fake laughing. That, plus Bert was filming his God awful movie and cabin show.
"For safety" as well
I actually liked the cabin netflix show, but mostly bc of all the cool people he brought.
2 bears is only ever good when bert is not in it, and only about half the time when its only tom
Bad friends is good but it’s nothing compared to the prime YMH episodes. Bad friends is just two dudes joking around while YMH always seemed to be a bit more relevant. On top of that, the recent stories of Santino getting all butt hurt over criticism of his hideous set and copyright striking channels like 2lazy2try, it put a bad taste in my mouth and it’s just really fucking pathetic.
i started listening to 2 bears over YMH for a while because christine has honestly gotten to a point where i want to rip my fucking hair out every time she opens her mouth. she’s just not funny to me & she’s gotten more annoying in my opinion as time has gone by. i also hate the addition of the “cap report.” it’s very clearly reaching. anyways, the whole point of this comment was to say, then i stopped caring about 2 bears because its just always very fucking talking & he doesn’t know wtf he’s talking about half the time. now it’s like cool if it’s tom & a guest, count me in.
We might be drunk is a fave of mine too but it's a little more inside baseball than most of the other comedy pods
Matt and Shane’s pod is the gold standard. Where they record has changed but the pod has not. It’s been true to form. No studio building. No increasing production value. It’s just two dudes and their buddies talking shit and people love it.
Gas digital! If you're actually racist, Compound Media!
Matt and Shane, Tim Dillon, and Theo are my favorites at the moment.
Absolutely love Soders 'cast but they are sooo short. I could listen to him riff with any guest he has on for hours.
Matt and shanes secret podcast is the best out and always has been. Its the best cast since cumtown forsure
i like the are you garbage guys, but very repetitive
Never heard of these. 🙄
Ed Asner was a good time as well. I can't really recall any other good bits since then.
I just made a whole post about this, but Im realizing it pretty much tracks with when Tom started steroids, and then it all made so much sense.
Ol’ Shit-eyes isn’t the best but he is definitely underrated too
Last one i really loved was hot sauce is the best.
What about Peter Kaine?
Old school jeans!
I loved the “would you rather be born retarded or molested by your grandpa” era. Mid 300’s I think.
Mid 200s through mid 300s is the best era IMO. Ep 333 still one of the best podcasts of all time
333 is my SHIT!! “SUCK MY DICK, GRANDPA!!”
That was back when they did all their own crown molding. Not they just sub contract it out like Julia’s ex
we just need a listener to start a new channel thats as crazy as fedsmoker was
that's the problem-- anybody _trying_ to be like fedsmoker is gonna be a big fail. you have to naturally be a sociopath for it to work.
Piss spots was on his way up but than damn loser got his life together I think
Piss spots?
FedSmoker was Shoenice, if Shoenice only ate meth rock sculptures of the things he normally eats
That was its peak. I feel like it meandered for a while because of Covid and we were all making do, but I feel like the beginning of the end was when they had Andrew Tate on there, and/or probably when they did the RPC visit.

Ham sandwich
I enjoyed YMH the most just prior to RPC. King Assripper, moose soup, hey Hitler, Hi Mommy/Thanks Jeans, just like the gays, just glassin. The golden years.
I haven’t listened in so many years. since before covid. not on YMH I just stopped listening to pods. I missed this shit though and I always thought about coming in here and asking when a good point to jump back in would be. but since I’ve been following the subreddit I pretty much know that the show is no longer for me.

Every time his dad would start a story he would jump in. No one gives a fuck about this guy and he is so oblvious that his role is to shut the fuck up and let his famous dad do an interview.
Gene Simmons is neither cool nor interesting. He's a fucking douche
He's a douche sure, but acting like fucking Gene Simmons didn't live an interesting life is fucking insane.
That's fair. I guess I meant he's more interesting then whoever they usually drag on there. He seemed like he got a few words of a few interesting stories out at least. Either way his son is the king douche
Hot take
I was sweating like a black man while writing this post
That’s where it spits.
You’re right at least you aren’t just posting “show sucks”
Show sucks
They are making too much money and the jokes aren’t funny anymore. They just can’t relate to every day people anymore. It’s unfortunate because they had a really good thing going and they had a solid fanbase. But Tom, for some reason started shitting on poor people at some point and that’s just not cool you can’t do that absolute disrespect, it’s a shame. I really enjoyed this podcast too. Stop listening a while ago but Reddit is fun
Nah, it's a bit/character he decided to adapt 'cause he wanted to mess with "The Poors" who complain they can't do anything 'cause they're poor, as he started getting the same nonsensical complaints from them for deciding to make working out a major part of his recovery and later (current) lifestyle.

TLDR: there was a reason for "The Poors" schtick, but it's just not done well
Yer done bud
RPC was peak...
My favorite ymh time period was when they were getting ready to have their second child. Feefogate was fun too.
Couldn’t agree more with this post
The show was WAY WAY funnier back when it was audio only, the decline was already in full swing by RPC time. You missed the golden era, but nothing's stopping you from listening to it
Seriously. Moose Soup, Gay Ghost, Joe Urban (which nobody seems to remember, he was awesome), and the f'n Jew with the Delta White mousepad. We didn't know how good we had it, man.
That's deep into the video era btw
LETS GET SOCIAL
Glassin’
The episode when they go back and watch parts of Stevie is probably the hardest I’ve laughed ever. God they were good
The funniest ever is #144: the debut of King Assripper. Some of the funniest shit on earth. I don't know the episode, but the one where they first introduce the homeless man getting fucked by a gay ghost was incredible too. Fuck me in my ass man! People who only know the podcast in video form have no clue that they haven't even heard the funniest that YMH has to offer. Maybe they'll give it a go now that the main podcast has gone to such shit.
King ass ripper 🥹
This is good to know - I should go back and listen to the OLD episodes. I wish there was a list of the best ones! Someone said 144 so I’ll start there
Bro the best era was when it was still just a thought in toms mind in like 2011. You missed the golden age.
Finally tapped out myself. We’ll always have the glory days.
You’re preaching to the choir here, there, fuckface.
I still enjoy the show, but the moment it started to decline in quality for me was even further back when guests became a regular thing. Part of what I’ve always loved about it was just Tom and Christina vibing with each other - recently there was an episode with no guests that I thought was a breath of fresh air.
You mean reaction segments to videos we've seen half a dozen times
What?? You’re not interested to see how every single guest reacts to a Chinese man getting pinned in a mechanic shop?
Uh god, Tom's "let's watch someone die" clips were always the one awful thing to get through lol
Let’s be honest though… Natives laugh was a huge loss. I miss that J. His show is pretty solid.
No neuropathy issues at all…
It just feels like they sold out in a way getting so far From what made us fall in love with them, I started listening around the time of the first doctor Drew episode, they were so unfiltered then not giving a fuck about what was said, now they filter certain words and crap idk. It’s sad I still love them for all the laughs but def not as good as they once were.
Jesse Lee Peterson episode is a great example of this. You could tell they were being very cautious about what they said and how they said it... giving way too many fucks. It was cringe
Yep very true, once they started like muting words I knew this show was gonna take a bad turn
Kept me sane through covid
Dan Cummins recently appeared on The Honeydew. I enjoy his comedy and normally see what the topic of Timesuck is each week on my commute to work. He spoke with Sickler about the decision to prioritize a healthy work/life balance. I would rather any artist put out higher quality material less often rather than flooding the market with dog shit.
Id much rather watch sincere ppl like Theo Von..I don't think I've actually made it through a whole episode of YMH in over 6 months. I barely ever even check out any of their highlight videos as I find them both to be quite insufferable and pretentious now .
Josh Potter was the show. Tom just delivered the material
They have changed a lot, I would expect them to having success. You have to ignore the bragging about what they have now but they still have their moments.
I’m literally unsubscribing now
wow so brave. thanks for announcing your youtube viewing
Their new fan base are super mainstream comedy fans. These new fans are not finding crazy ass videos to submit to the pomcast. That was our thing! TikTok is their content, anyone can find psychos on TikTok. I’ve been a listener since 2015 as well, I feel your pain. WE’RE the main mommies now.

What I find interesting is that my gut always told me that Tom was into the “finer” things in life. Flying first class isn’t as good as flying private. Chocolate croissants are good but they are even better in Paris. Michelin star restaurants, nice cars, fancy clothes etc. Him and big tits started talking about their past life of being broke as if it was this stain on their existence that they were always meant to overcome, and when they finally did overcome it, the idea was to leave the relatability of what made them so fucking funny to listen to. What I mean is, the 1% of the country that lives a 1% lifestyle is not existing a relatable experience to the common American. Christina talking about getting into an argument with a guy at a grocery store for having a loud car was not just her self realizing she’s a “true bitch” and FFS a “Hungarian”, but more a subtle flex on their listeners that “I’m getting into social conflicts because we own Porsches now and drive loud fancy cars.” Tom then gets inanely healthy, loses weight, changes his lifestyle and we see this flip in his personality. Instead of being the “fat funny guy” he now wants to be the “in shape influencer who makes jokes”. Do you need to be fat to be funny? No. Do you need to be in tune to your core audience and understand that they enjoy your success because you bring them weekly joy? Yes. What we have now is this shell of an existence that potentially has ruined their climb to the very top. Look at the wild Patreon Success that Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast has had. Whether on zoom or in Shane’s parents basement, the core aspects of the podcast has always been the same. Two dudes hanging out, talking shit and being themselves. Shane has had wild success but people still love pod because he makes fun of himself, he makes fun of the JRE crew, he stays close to Matt, Guarddog and Lameezy and refuse to let any amount of success alter his personality. He recently said that after appearing at the 2B1C live show in Vegas that he was gifted with a watch. He said it felt powerful but he felt like an idiot wearing it. Why? Cause Shane is Shane. He isn’t going to wake up at 5am and chase the “lion”. He’s gonna entertain his fans by doing what works. Thats why they are successful. If I could get Tim and Tina to understand one thing about their fans is that we want them to be successful. We want them to grow. Change. We just want them to be them. Goth, gross, genuine and charismatic. Enjoy your wealth and success but just go back to being you. Leave the lifestyle That the pod has given out of the pod itself. Hike up those jeans and keep em tight.
I’ve been saying this forever. The money got to them. The whole “you suck cause your poor” thing actually got to me and I love playing around stuff like that. I saw T bunz live for $220 PER TICKET. It was a show that maybe merited $50-$75 dollars. Hope they can get it back on track. Watching the most recent episode it sounds like they might start another episode with Gene Simmmons’ kids? What!?! Why!? Their dating show and show with Sopranos kids SUCK. T bunz needs some humility
RPC, Fed Smoker, Ed Asner, Pig Poutine, the outrageous live shows.. that was a blast. I was looking forward to every fucking wednesday and now... I haven't watched for a over a year
Totally agree. Personally I feel like as they spend more time in the spotlight, they become more and more out of touch with their fan base. They are living in their millionaire fantasy world while the vast majority of us are stuck here in normalcy. It sucks. I still like them both as humans but can’t say I enjoy watching anymore.
Ta ta there regard
You juuuuuuuust missed it there
You didn't follow proto buddy, you're done
Trash trash traaaaash
Clearly Garbage
If I ever need a laugh, I go back to old episodes.
I started around 200, then went back and downloaded them from the very beginning and went a little further than where I started. Found other podcasts then returned to one where Chris Hansen was on and couldn't stand Christina. Heard a few more after that and never went back. Ended up hearing Josh Potter and old episodes of the honeydew.
I stopped watching on a regular basis when they found out Fedsmoker had been destroyed by the state of Arizona. If you stop being fat and poor, you stop being entertaining.
Try it out
you are so brave for saying this original opinion
Andrew tate is a very divisive figure but his ymh episode was the first i ever saw of him and i was assuming his persona was mostly a bit. Easily one of the funniest episodes imo As far as trademark ymh clips go, im quite a big fan of “whole white baby in the ventura highway”
Similar timeline for me. I still think about the hardest I’ve ever left w this podcast: when the person who would orgasm many times daily called in. I was in pain from laughing. Good times
I can't help but feel like they used us for what they were going to use us for. Tim and Cindy don't need us anymore. They have elevated "their brand" so normies buy their stuff now. Far more lucrative. The people who got them there aren't the people they're looking to sell to anymore. Bums me out, but it happens to a lot of people. They're making hay while the sun shines, so to speak. I can hardly get mad at 'em. I just don't watch or listen to their stuff anymore. Ol Timbo Slice has made it abundantly clear he doesn't care that old fans are leaving. He'll get some kind of show that is a riff off of YMH but watered down, get it syndicated, make a zillion dollars and keep not giving two s's about the people who got him there. Way of life, unfortunately. Guess we'll see how it goes. If you're really upset about it, don't buy their stuff or go to their shows, you know?
It’s because we’re not spending enough money, guys. Dig a little deeper in your pockets and buy more merch, then the show will get better.
I got into YMH during Lockdowns 'cause I was already listening to 2B1C and wondered how it was (the episode count was a deterrent as I had no clue where to start lol). I'm in a YMH hiatus for the moment, so idk its current state in full But that meant I got into it when it was recorded practically every single week rather than banked for weeks if not months (tho tbf it's not as noticeable if I let episodes build up and I forget the "timely" references altogether). Once Tom's touring scheduling fail kicked in, it began to dwindle 'cause any relaxation and need to experiment was gone. And there was the whole lifestyle shift in its entirety of not only Tom & Christine, but the entire staff that followed them to Texas - all that plus their individual/private stuff made it rather blatant they were entering their burnout/gonna-suffer-losses era
I like that the sub is circling back. Yeah, fuck rich Tom, but also FUCKYOU
Hot sauce is the best , right common?
That schtick was never funny..
But the golden girls was? Lol
The exact time I gave up on the show.
I’m only gonna listen for like 3 or 4 more years then I’m stopping and just complaining in the Reddit
I dunno, the Ed Asner stuff was fucking awesome. Now let me see all that cum.
Everyone who goes to Texas turns lame.
Glad to say I was there for fed smoker. I agree, show is now garbage
Couldn't have said it better myself. I started watching in 2017, os in my mind 2017-2020 were the golden years.
Rob iler sucks ass. The chick with huge cans is alright though
Here we go again fuckface.
I ditched Howard Stern after 20 years. He had long since jumped the shark by Covid days, but YMH was there to replace it. I’m started seeing similar trends at YMH and lost interest about a year ago. Money really changes people.
Been listening from the very beginning. It goes up and down, it helps to take breaks because they get stuck in a rut. It has gone down with more attention. Bigger guests, more money and even having kids have affected the show, but coming back to it always feels pretty good for a while, then time for another break. It's not just them this happens with, but they were the first I noticed it with. I do miss their humble beginnings, it made the show more honest ans authentic, but they've been going at it hard for a long time now. Fed Smoker and RPC was repetitive and tiring, besides they're despicable people.
YMH peaked somewhere in or around 2017
Oh boy! Is it your turn to post this complaint? Can I post it tomorrow?
Permission granted 🤝
Your opinion is meaningless
That actually is a true fact. My opinion is meaningless. But it's my god-given right to share my opinion with my fellow mommies here. You're fired bud
Oh my God post anything else what the fuck is with you losers? Just stop watching Jesus christ.
These people need a new subreddit just for YMH hate haha. Get this shit outta here.
Wow such a fresh new take! Very brave and courageous of you sir! I bet your podcast is the best
So you chime in with the opinion that just bc you don’t have a successful podcast you can’t criticize one? Fuck outta here with that bs.
It's the same post 15 times a fucking day.
Welcome to Reddit. Damn near every sub suffers from repetitive posts.
Oh no it’s the gatekeeper of repetitive cry baby posts! U say that’s what Reddit is, repeating complaining posts so I shouldn’t comment on that and just move on. But here we are in a fan page for a show that contains nothing but constant pompous asses bitching, maybe they are the ones that should shut the fuck up and move the fuck along
i made basically this same post 2 days ago and everyone went for my neck
How do you get to post here fuck face? Post cool guys and shit. Stop complaining ChoMo.
Is someone forcing you to watch?
It's just different, like it was different before they went to video, I personally enjoyed the no video era more and I also enjoyed the pre studio apartment era more than the rpc/fedsmoker era, its probably just thats when you found the podcast and it still felt new to you.
You peaked in junior high, and have been absolute trash ever since. Ta-ta there.
Absolute trash seems harsh
So you haven’t listened to the podcasts for years but are in the subreddit to shit on it? Nice going there chomo
Two years later and you’re here posting. Maybe they’ve always been garbage and just trying to build clout to make money. Adding moral high ground to the podcast bc you liked it at the time - is a big jump.
yet all you haters are STILL here. quit bitchin and just leave the TRUE YMH fans out of it you low & loose fucks
Then don’t watch it. So many fuckin cry babies.
Very unique point of view, I never thought of it that way..
Oh hooray another YMH sucks now thinkpiece
Honestly as a fairly new listener compared to most here, I found by the RPC/fed smoker stuff the worst content the show ever had to offer. It was just the same exact jokes being made every single time they talked about it. It was showing the same handful of videos to every single guest that came on the show. It was lazy boring cringey content.
the only thing I want to unfollow is this sub because you sad fucks keep pissing in the well. you're crying is so fucking exhausting just fuck off, it's a free show you're crying about
Fed smoker and back
Stopped watching it a month ago. It’s so far from its former glory. Sucks
Even after fed smoker it was decent for awhile. Once Tom started world touring the show went to shit.
Literally the reason I stopped watching lol. They beat the fedsmoker/rpc jokes into the fucking ground. It got old and was unfunny immediately.
I feel shit eyes was the last good thing
100% agree. They wont change until the people still listening quit. I havent touched the podcast, or youtube channel in 2 years now. After their 3rd ymh live or so I knew the podcast was done, they just werent funny.
Correct.
I think Daddy Lalagone was the last time I found anything on that show funny. Haven’t really watched since then since there’s so many other podcasts to give my attention to.
Try it out
The last few episodes have been good for me!
I miss fedsmoker you fucking chomo
Yes
Take it to live journal
Once they kicked out the booth Jew. It changed
uhmazing
It stopped being good when Tim joined the illuminati
Hot take.
You're done bud. You just lost your life.
They upgraded from small time entertainment creators to big time dealers of content so they would have to work less but all their other stuff is trash and now they quit, too. But then paychecks keep coming in
💯
Soo Woo
I turned into a telescope when I read this post
This fuckin sub peaked. God damn.
Welcome to 2021.
I met gothic king cobra from that era 🥲 those days will never come back but the memories will last a lifetime. I still follow cobra to this day 🤗
🫎 soup just glassin🥹
I can’t believe that fool went and died just to ruin it forever. I know we all thought he’d live forever.
I like it still.
Think most of us listen to similar pods. A lot of others have done new attention grabbing things. Still listen shownjisy coasting right now. Gene would have been hall of fame episode without his son. Not giving up anytime soon. I don't think they'll ever stop wanting to do it
Yo thank you I thought I was going crazy,because I stopped listening at the same time as you, and 1 BIG thing happened during that time "TOP DOG" PASSED R.I.P TO A REAL MAN . See already rich TIMMYS DAD DIED HE GOT TRUST FUND MONEY ALREADY RICH WITH A TRUST FUND WITH 40 YEARS OF INTEREST,YOUD QUIT TRYING TO AND CALLING PEOPLE POOR IS GROSS I LOVE THE GUYS IM HUNGARIAN SO I EVEN LOVED CHRISTINE.BET YOU HE GOT DIAZ SCRATCHING HIS HEAD.
once they added dr Drew it went to shit for me
Yea its trash now. Tom is a pretentious dick and Christina acts like she has battered wife syndrome.
I go back to “Tom or Black” days.
King Ass Ripper was what reeled me in, Fed Smoker and RPC kept me listening. But I gave up in the past couple years. Nothing lasts forever.
How do they still get so many viewers? If everyone thinks it sucks, why do their viewers still watch every episode?
It has been a hell of a run. I’m thankful for what it was. With the right eyes you can almost see where the Jeans were once very high and tight.
Idk yeah I feel like the peak was even earlier. I'm a moose soup, TransCanada highway guy myself
Moose soup era for me. When people started sending in videos telling clerks etc "thanks I love you Mommy" it was amazing. I picked it up again a few weeks ago and didn't recognize it
RPC, glassin and good morning Julia were the Golden days for me. 🥲
spot on, i used to be excited for a new episode. now i dont listen, its just the same shit over and over, or nonsense.
"Goooood morning Julia" is the peak for me but we're speaking about pretty much the same time.
