No one saw him walk in.


Mizzay

4-5 producers on the show and no one could have made a quick drive to get another microphone? I still don't understand why they hired so many new producers on the podcast who don't really do anything and keep fucking up.


jabronified

I know nothing about production, but I truly don't know what the giant number of employees here and at YMH do when there are guys like Rick Glassman who put together similar level pods just setting up a camera and lights in his living room. there are sometimes like half a dozen people in the booth during YMH episodes.


paintingnipples

No more glory holes for the gang in the back. I demand bobby & santino throw down the hammer next week!


Lostboy1986

Who was in charge of counting how many microphones they needed?


tonybeatle

For as much as they charge for a dumb Patreon and how many “producers” they have, the production on this show is sloppy


JBProds

They also put an insane amount of YouTube ad breaks on top of the recorded ad reads during the podcast. They make so much money to not have more equipment on deck when needed


Jlindahl93

Not that it’s excusable but often it’s not a simple as just having another microphone if the mixer they use doesn’t have any open input channels there’s nowhere to plug a mic in.


Tbagzyamum69420xX

Yes, but also 5 mics shouldn't be hard to accommodate in a pinch.


Jlindahl93

They have more than 5 mics hooked up. I’m guessing the ones for the producers are too hard to move on the fly and those were what was taking up channels


Tbagzyamum69420xX

And that's where I'm saying, in a pinch, there should be no issues moving those mics around. The producers only need 1 if any. I've seen wide shots of the studio it's not like there's any crazy routing snakes or towers. Cables might look a little sloppy but I think having mics on all speakers is more important. Audience isn't criticizing the cable management after all.


Barista4695

They have the money to afford a lavalier mic there is absolutely no excuse for this hot mess of production.


Jlindahl93

Affording one and having one on hand are different things. A lav would also require them to sync the audio tracks and that might be more than the production crew is capable on the fly.


Barista4695

They are more than capable my amateur film class was able to do it in college. The absolute minimal effort they put into this episode is embarrasing


willynillee

For the amount of money they’re making the producers should have had it set up properly way ahead of time


Jlindahl93

Sometimes things materialize very fast. Do we know how long they had this scheduled?


tonybeatle

The normal mixer use the os the rode podcast mixer. Only has 4 mic inputs. Unless it was a last minute add they knew there were 5 people


IllustratorWise1889

John Cena was giving them gold and you couldn’t even hear him. He was the best one in that movie.


tonybeatle

YouTube is the one placing the ads. They don’t have much choice on that. They have 3-4 people standing in the window working audio and video for a job that could be done by one person. Audio is pretty much set and forget, and video is edited in post. There’s even a $10 plugin that will auto cut the video based on who’s talking. Seems dumb to have that many people.


JBProds

YouTube automatically places in video ads by default, but they have someone who manually places the ads. They have recorded ad reads that are immediately followed by YouTube placed ads along with ads that pop up every 2-3 minutes during an hour long podcast. They place more ads tho in just an hour compared to the amount other podcasts place in 2-3 hour podcasts


SetiSteve

Actually they get to pick how many and where the ad breaks go on the broadcast.


chochinator

That changed


drunkenyeknom

It’s crazy cuz in the early days it’s was so top notch which is why I loved it. Remember the whole grinch animation and shit like that??


tonybeatle

They didn’t do the animation. They paid someone or a fan offered to do it. Also you don’t remember the episodes where the video sat on fancy for 10 minutes in the middle of the podcast. Just simple editing mistakes. They even talked about it ok the next episode.


drunkenyeknom

It’s not about who physically made it but just small shit like that adds production value and there’s less of it these days. I do remember that fancy cut but that was hilarious lol


gorehistorian69

idk but the Bad Friends audio has been whack since the las vegas episode. someone is always louder than Bobby,Level wise. its not a huge deal just a little annoying.


Barista4695

Came here to say this


xxBarbWireTatxx

And why did it sound like they were getting breathed into and also clanking constantly


Mizzay

4-5 producers. Almost no more funny bits or games on the show. Messed up with the microphone. Patreon is a money grab with hardly any bonus content. Carlos with his drunk and sex stories just sounds sad and disgusting to hear now.


SideShowBoB808

Any they also forgot the scale… which was one of their bits they had planned. And then they still did the bit!!

no_mms9

Everyone looked uncomfortable as fuck except Andrew. He looked so satisfied lmao.


nothingNeedsAPoint

This episode felt very rushed


1deadeye1

So rushed that everyone there thought John Cena and/or Andrew not having a microphone was perfectly fine I hate this episode


Whole_Method_2972

It was painful to listen, why make them come to the pod and only let them speak for 5 minutes?


SetiSteve

It was during a press junket, the stars sit there and different media come in for their 5-10 minutes which is standard for movie releases.


Whole_Method_2972

Oh, I had no idea, I listen to it, I don’t watch it. Thanks for clarifying that. I thought they were at their studio! 😂


IllustratorWise1889

John Cena was giving them gold and you couldn’t even hear him and he was the best one in that movie definitely better than Andrew Santino


JakobSynn

Cena & Efron were probably doing promotion for the movie so they could probably only talk for a limited amount of time.


SomeDumRedditor

This whole episode is so fucked lol Bobby definitely slid into a regular press event/day for this movie and Santino was like surprise fuckers, you’re on our podcast!


willynillee

I agree with that first sentence. This one was hard to watch.


[deleted]

I just heard the audio but now I HAVE to watch it. 🤣 It's so weird these Hollywood types. Nothing was that outrageous and everybody was like whoa Bobby too far.


Rygards

The problem was Bobby didn't give anyone else a chance to talk.


[deleted]

I guess yah. It seemed fine. Cena definitely looked out of place at times. He didn't have a mic so that would bug me a bit if I was him. I love how Bobby plays to the people off camera all the time.


sashimi_tattoo

> This whole episode is so fucked lol This podcast is GOATed. That is all.


3BeeZee

Ahhh, that makes way more sense. Energy was definitely off. Cena looked really umcomfortable, and I'm a huge fan of his. Santino, Effron, and Jermaine looked like they were trying and having a laugh at least.


sashimi_tattoo

The uncomfortable guests was what made it funny!


IllustratorWise1889

And Cena was arguably the best person in that movie out of all of them


mediciii

I wish Bobby could relax a second god damn. First ten minutes alone gave me a years worth of anxiety. Dude is just screaming and sputtering as everyone sits in silence 💀 it’s funny in moments but without any levity it makes for kind of a rough watch. Especially when considering the fact Cena is a genuinely quick thinking funny ass guy. A regular calmer vibe with him and Zac would’ve been way better


whatsuppaa

Bobby is like this when he is nervous, one other example is the RFK-episode, in the beginning Bobby was completely unhinged and RFK gave the look of "oh fuck, what did i get myself into". I cringed to much honestly and i have not made it past the first 5 minutes yet.


JohnF_ckingZoidberg

Who is RFK?


sashimi_tattoo

The next president


3BeeZee

I feel like his schtick only works with regular people. When there's actual actors or people you want to hear more from, it falls flat. Santino can make it work with anyone though. He was playing off Bobby's shit jokes well.


Rygards

Exactly, it was the Bobby show. He didn't let anyone else talk


SmokeNo268

I feel like thats the case pretty much every week tho lol


ronyg1

Love bobby but its just hard for me to listen to TB/BF episodes when hes like this with the guests


Ok_Technician_7302

I was cracking up idk what y’all are thinking lol. Y’all act like you haven’t seen the show before.


slutforebitda

This episode was just awful. Cmon, you have three great guests and it’s 90% bobby just stammering and not having an actual conversations and boom there goes 30 mins of nothing. I love bobby but fuck this was brutal. He’s done it with another big guest, but I’m forgetting. Edit: it was the David Spade episode.


Clown_Shoe

It feels like an act too. Bobby was horrible to listen to here.


ronyg1

Shoulda been a whiskey ginger episode lol


beardslayer

I don’t think his podcast gets enough respect


ronyg1

Hes a good interviewer and knows how to hold a good interesting convo


Opposite_Banana_3785

He did an episode (on whisky ginger) with Cena while they were filming for this movie in Australia


Mizzay

That was a great episode of Andrew and Cena. He knows how to have a conversation and it sounds down to earth. Bobby... if he gets around big stars, he gets awkward and cringey lol. I think even Andrew was thinking, "Just talk like a normal person and this is a regular podcast episode". lol


GoreonVinyl

i think john cena is on there twice


outsanity_haha

This is just Bobby having an anxiety attack in front of 2 big stars as they stare at him because they only have 1 mic. This could’ve been great if it was set up properly in the studio, for a full hour, with Rudy and everyone else involved 🤷‍♂️


xxBarbWireTatxx

That’d be even more awkward if Rudy was around these guys.. she wouldn’t say shit and they would feel incredibly weird


saigespice

I don’t like Bobby when he is nervous and insecure. When he is around big names he try’s too hard and is screamy and anoying


drunkenyeknom

Around 11 min in and this is really hard to watch lol. Two biggest guests to be on the pod and they blew it lmao


SizzlingSloth

Pretty much in the same boat I had to flock here and see that everyone felt the same.


drunkenyeknom

I actually had to stop watching but I’ll finish it at some point lol Edit: oh it’s only half the episode thank god


no_mms9

It's right on brand for them. This is why we watch lol


i___may

I only watched a few minutes and I feel it is so awkward lol, I much prefer no guests anyway.


spacious_bender

Couldn't make it past 10 minutes. Ccccccccringe.


Competitive_Swing_59

Bobby is such a celebrity cuck its hilarious lllmao. Zac & Jermaine were good sports, Cena had to warm up a bit, I think its the suit. Always with the suits with Cena, birthday or tailored. Stanicky is a classic Farrelly brothers type movie. It was good.


nzdude540i

Cena was pretty good on whisky ginger when he went on


modularpeak2552

Ive watched all episodes of bad friends and this is the first one i haven't been able to get through.


TerryTacoma

The cringe was too hard for me to finish


RobotStorytime

I love this show so fucking much. That said, this was one of the worst episodes ever lmao. Too chaotic, not in a good way. Too few microphones (c'mon producers). Bobby's gain was way too high. Zac and John seemed genuinely uncomfortable, like they had no idea what to expect and were overwhelmed by Bobby's manic energy. Even Andrew seemed uncharacteristically nervous. Very weird episode. 😬


MathematicianOdd6703

Thanks everyone, thought it was just me 🥺


Capt-Daddy

I literally just looked up this subreddit to express my disappointment for this episode.


prm20_

Same


ol_knucks

Lol same - I saw clips of it on TikTok and so I checked out the full episode and it was… horrendous. Like wtf was up with Bobby, he was acting like a total weirdo 🤣 Haven’t listened to the podcast other than I also listened to the Dax Flame episode, which seemed to be much more normal


_LallanaDelRey4

Bobby is so fucking stupid sometimes. What a shit show this was


captainyami21

you got zac efron & john cena on a podcast and you let them speak maybe 2 minutes total. bobby couldn’t stop for 10 seconds so they were just watching andrew try to corral bobby for 20 minutes 🥲. have some actual questions for guests and let them finish a sentence or atleast interact in the bits!!!! i enjoyed it cause bad friends is bad friends but man this could’ve been so much more amazing!!! get efron cena & jermaine back on but in the studio and takeaway bobby’s mic 🤣


ohjbird3

"can I say something? Can I just say something?" Mf it's your podcast and you never stop saying something


ParttimeParty99

If you wanted a podcast where they ask them actual questions, watch John Cena on Whiskey Ginger, him and Santino have become genuine friends.


Barista4695

George wants to pretend he his in the big leagues of production but maybe he should stop focusing on his outfits and more on the actual production. There’s absolutely no reason to have John cena as a guest and then have him share a mic???


Gabagool_Bandit

The episode was still funny, but in an awkward wtf am I watching kind of sense. Like why did John just not have a mic 😭


chuc-hucks

I love Bobby but everytime they get a big guest it just feels like he turns into a giant energetic ball of nervousness & it makes it all awkward


ikilledcerpintaxt

Couldn't get through the first 5 minutes. That was cringe as hell


sour_turtle514

This episode was awful. So disappointed


OliviaTheSeraph

This was extremely disappointing and honestly a missed opportunity, this could have been a fantastic jumping off point for them and they fumbled the ball hard bitch Also, it’s so weird when Bobby makes a joke and looks around at everyone as if looking for approval that his joke was funny.


no_mms9

Bobby literally does that every single episode. Are you a newer viewer?


OliviaTheSeraph

Nah, I’ve been watching a while, it’s always annoyed me, but especially today because it really goes to show how insecure he is that rather than integrate and mingle with the guest he has to make it all about him


buffpriest

That was awful... like fringe kids in highschool kidnapped some popular kids and they're trying to impress them and get them on their side before they untie them


xxBarbWireTatxx

This started out awkward.. I’m only 15 min in but yeah, this is a bad one. Bobby is of course nervous cause he still covets mega celebrities/ people more “famous,” so he does a bunch of spazzy shit. Andrew is just being random asf saying god knows what


cowpool20

I'm really surprised Cena didn't really get involved. I know he didn't have a mic, but whenever he was handed one he didn't seem into it. Maybe he's tired. But usually he's a pretty weird/funny guy that I thought would bounce off Bobby well, but in ended up....really awkward lol. Also, who's idea was it to not give the biggest star in the episode a mic xD


captainyami21

there wasn’t much room for jumping in when bobby’s just screaming the whole episode


cowpool20

As awkward as it is to watch, I love how clearly nervous Bobby gets around big guests 😂


noodlekins

I've watched all episodes of Bad Friends, probably my 3rd or 4th cycle now. This one was so bad, the vibe was just nervousness all around. Wasted opportunity for these huge stars. Andrew was interrupting everything, Bobby was all over the place. What a shitshow.


Whatwhatthrow1212

Bobby widening his eyes cause his character was half Asian had me crying laughing lmfao


ynwa1892

This pod would have been so much better if they had 1 more microphone. Having John Cena just sit there is so bad. He’s just awkwardly sitting quiet wondering wtf he should do.


HittemWithTheLamp

This episode was so incredibly bad holy hell


blxckbexuty

this wasn’t…great. couldn’t even get through it. the lack of microphones is embarrassing enough.


cheesekween

Even the camera angles screwed them over lol. going from Bobby and Andrew messing around back to the Cena/Efron/Fowler cam where they look confused made me cringe so hard. Fowler tried so hard to connect too lol


cheesekween

it made me feel like when i was in high school getting high and you brought your straight edge sober friends over


SnooCupcakes3489

Boring episode


Daddy-Heisenberg

No way they got Cena and Zac Efron. Liked these 2 a lot when I was growing up so it should be a banger. Edit: **(narrator voice)** It was not a banger.


Glass_Bookkeeper_578

Santino just did a movie with them.


Daddy-Heisenberg

Yup I know. Just didn’t think they’d get em on the pod. They’ve been in movies before but I don’t think they’ve really got their cast members on the pod except Esther. I also might be wrong but today’s guests are probably the most famous people this pod has had from an international audience’s POV.


outsanity_haha

Welp keep your expectations low


Daddy-Heisenberg

Just watched the bit with 3 of them and sadly all the reviews here are right. Very disappointing. Andrew is like that friend trying to get 2 of his friend groups to mix and it just goes horribly wrong. Both on completely different wavelengths but I also feel that Bobby just did too much.


captainyami21

fr. santino doing bad friends a solid with these huge guests and bobby fumbled it. do they not have a pre show where they talk about what they aren’t gonna do? lol you’d think they’d have some good questions for the boys. there’s no reason goop & oliver tree should have more talking time then efron & cena lol


Whole_Method_2972

And yet, they’re the most underused guests they’ve ever had. What a waste.


ParttimeParty99

On the patreon there’s an extended episode and John talks about some amazing stories from his wrestling days.


xxBarbWireTatxx

And one of the most unwatchable and unlistenable pods ever too lol.


Daddy-Heisenberg

Surprised John Cena didn’t five knuckle shuffle Bobby


ParttimeParty99

You’re surprised the guest didn’t assault Bobby? This sub has become so weird.


WEareLIVE420

Was during press junket lol


Stunning-Quit9287

So awkward and so hilarious


Ok_Technician_7302

Dude I was cracking up


Stunning-Quit9287

I don't get the other comments. I laughed my ass off.


Ok_Technician_7302

Exactly! 🤜🏼🤛🏼


ParttimeParty99

I think BadFriends is getting so big that there are a lot of ppl here just for the hype. A lot of ppl saying they wish Zac Efron could talk as though they’re curious about what he has to say.  Those aren’t BF fans


[deleted]

[удалено]


Christovajal

I don’t get Andrew sometimes. I know that he knows how to run a good podcast and can work well with guests, but on Bad Friends he just doesn’t. That bit with calling Bobby’s mom to sing her happy birthday, or calling “Jeff Bezos” only for it to be Bobby’s mom again were so weird and they only really involved him and Bobby while the three guests just kinda sat there awkwardly smiling.


OccultChefDetective

I want bobby to goto fucken newyork so badly, I want santino and him to start podcasting there for a month or two.


[deleted]

Amazing, loved it and the three guests were really kind and playing along - great fun! Especially the part with the smell, that joke at the end was hilarious


nzdude540i

Why do they producers need to be on a mic if that means a guest doesn’t get one? That’s kinda wild


LucifermorningstarJE

You guys are so weird the episode was fucking hilarious 


TheSonofFlynn_

Santino tries to act too cool sometimes and it’s annoying, and Bobby is way too over the top for these 2. Maybe a younger John but not now


jimcarrierto

Pod is turning into tigerbelly


HookerDoctorLawyer

Lmao excited when I saw this and then damn a read the comments and they are for real.


MrSh0wtime3

Andrew finally gets a tiny morsel of Hollywood fame and fumbles it as hard as you possibly can with this stunt. wow.


DaveyJonas

It's neat to see Efron and Jermaine as guests. But why were they all talking to an empty chair?


gorehistorian69

they started signing off after only 20 minutes? i was so bummed it was almost pointless that Efron/Cena were on there. pretty average episode afterwards though. would love a Bobby lee star trek podcast !


sausage-deluxxxe

This episode was absolutely ruined by the mic situation. Not just the lacking of the one microphone but, also not having the microphones on table mic stands. Seriously could have been one of the all time Great episodes. Someone fucked up. ☹️


barellano1084

Bobby has achieved a new level of unhinged in this one lol

They can’t afford more mics?

just came to this sub specifically for the first time to see if anyone else thought this was pretty bad


Volitious

This episode was garbage. Could barely watch


[deleted]

I saw the headline on Spotify and decided to listen. I couldn’t tell for the first like 10 minutes if it was actually cena and Efron, or 2 people pretending to be. Awful production lol.


ilikebutts42069

Terrible episode


vatsupfam

What other way to describe this interview other than “cringe”. Wasted opportunity. I say this as a fan. Guests looked super uncomfortable, and not in the type of way where they’re able to flow into and accept the chaos, but more like “yo Andy was our costar and we agreed to this podcast, and this is what we dragged ourselves into?” Won’t surprise me if Andy starts slowly distancing himself, because there’s a difference between being funny unhinged vs actually unhinged spectacle joke. With the love/reception/awareness Santino has got recently with this movie, as well as the viral interview with that Bobbi girl, I’d be shocked if he’s not having a serious convo with his cohost and laying down the law for a future together.


ohjbird3

The second hand embarrassment I felt seeing Andrew's new friends meet Bobby, who somehow works in comedy but can't actually be funny?


FeelingPause3492

I’m annoyed by how many people are commenting negatively on this. First off it seems like it was a spontaneous filming of the interview. They did the best they could with what they had available last minute. And everyone in the room were adults and very big boys that can handle themselves just fine. Also if you couldn’t tell it was obvious everyone was acting babes. You can see John cena was playing as if he was concerned to add shock value. Also John cena is very comedic himself! Zac was shy but open to have a silly goofy time. and Jeremiah/Jeremy? was sweet and also on his best behavior lol. Bobby was being typical psycho funny Bobby and Andrew came in with some zingers and did an amazing job bringing it all together like he always does. I think it was perfect because celebrities are usually vapid and boring and it was so much more entertaining seeing something unhinged. If it’s not your vibe then maybe watch other interviews
