Since the merge with Washed, I’ve slowly become a “Backer”. Probably not a pod for the majority of the Dumbzone/Ticket following, but it’s worth a try.

Is there anything specific you could recommend? I gave them a shot a while back and it just seemed like generic bro-talk, just kinda rambling without any real focus. Not really my bag, baby.

Circling Back is a show with a lot of internet and pop culture talk. Basically making fun of everything going on in that world. I def felt the same early on, but the hosts become more relatable.

Their other show, Too Much Dip, is sports heavy. A lot more surface level highlights of the sports weekend, but it’s still great.

That's pretty much the gist of it, but once you get their bit, they're really funny and I love em now. Unfortunately, one of the funnier guys, Will, is leaving the show, so I can't vouch for how good it's gonna be going forward...Too Much Dip is the same guys but just talking sports. Still pretty funny tho

Yeah, I’m not one of these guys that irrationally hated Washed from the get go. I just don’t know if I really need another podcast in my life. With the DumbZone and Stavvy’s World I’m pretty set.

Rambling without any real focus is what makes the dumb zone great

I’m gonna be honest, the fact that you think that is what makes the DumbZone great. Dan and Jake’s background (along with Blake’s technical wizardry) means that they keep a pretty tightly focused ship. I promise you there is a run sheet for every episode. Now, there’s lots of bullshitting around within the segments, but the segments are planned and discussed ahead of time.

Well yeah I mean there’s a drop for literally everything and birthdays, viewer mail, weekend check, and 90 minutes on Luka but the in between is a windy road. Same goes for CB.

I guess we just have to agree to disagree. Another point against Circling Back is that I haven’t been listening to those guys for literally 20 years.

Stunning admission. Showing more bravery than Jake here tbh.
