I would like to formally ask Ryan  (a great podcast host) to allow Jeff the privilege of choosing the emails and reading them. Bombcast members who agree should "sign" this "petition" with their posts.

(not trying to start something but if your requesting something like this we should at least know why)

Because Jeff is better at it (chooses better emails with more potential for starting a humorous discourse).
@Garfield518 said:

He's probably just mad that Ryan didn't read his email, and figures that Jeff would instead.

I've never sent an email.

@IBurningStar said:
Until you convince me that something is wrong with how Ryan conducts the emails segment I'm not signing a damn thing.
It's not that he does it wrong, it's that Jeff does it better. Don't get me wrong, I'm still entertained when Ryan reads the emails, but when Jeff does it it seems to get a lot more laughs out of me.

@SMTDante89: I think this might come from the last bombcast when the e-mails Ryan picked were way off the topic of video games.

He can be a bit dismissive of long-winded emails. But somebody's gotta keep the show moving.

I find their discussions regarding most e-mails to be pretty funny.  They can't all be winners.

Having said that, you have no idea what the e-mails that Ryan receives say, so how can you argue that he doesn't pick the good ones?  For all you know Jeff just lucks out once in a while and gets sent some better e-mails...I've never noticed this though.

I'd get onboard with this. Let somebody who doesn't repeatedly express disdain for what their fans send in pick what gets read out. I'm not saying they don't get shitty emails sent in, but I know a good amount of people on this forum that send good stuff that gets ignored.

Pretty much what I was planning to say, my version would probably have been a bit harsher in tone though.

But that fruit farm email and the popcorn email were the most entertaining questions they've received since the Dave/Vinny/Jeff podcast where they only answered questions from Formspring!

I can't agree that Jeff picks "better" emails, as I've never observed a significant change between the two.

Then again, if it were solely a show consisting of parts that had "a point" it would ultimately be a 10 minute news podcast.

I don't really care about who chooses the emails but I do think the Bombcast needs a shake-up in some way.

I'd say go one further and get Jeff to host it. For me, Jeff keeps it moving more steadily and keeps up the energy while it seems when Ryan's hosting there's a 5 second pause of silence between every second sentence. I feel like the 2.5 hours could be cut down to 2 or less if it weren't for the pauses. I feel like they could pack it more densely, like the HotSpot was.


Not having a go, it's just my small criticism.

I really liked the bombcast were Jeff hosted and chose questions from formspring. That was one of the best "e-mail" segments in a long time.
So I approve of this request.

My main request would be for Ryan to stop fucking butting in and cutting people off. So what if it cause the podcast to be longer; all the more for us damnit.

They're not doing this for shits and giggles.  It's a job.  I'm sure they can't really afford to have the Bombcast to take up a bigger chunk of the day than it already does.

Also the email segment is fine.  Considering how many emails Ryan gets I think he does a fantastic job at choosing which ones to read.

Basically this. Think about all of the Bombcasts or Happy Hours where Ryan has been gone. Now think of how many of those were bad.

I feel like at least once or twice a Bombcast, Ryan stops a funny segment/exchange because it's "time to move on."

I would like the Bombcast to be on a weekend.

It's better to sum up the news that way.

I've always liked the email section and wished it was longer.  I like hearing them just answer random questions!


That's why I love Jeff's formspring page.

Yeah Jeff already does HALF of the Game Reviews and has to coordinate everyone's work.  I mean... he's a big goofball but when it comes down to it he has a lot of responsibilities and he already does the NDX.

Get that shit out of here. You're making the rest of the subscribers look bad.

On topic, no. Ryan should continue to read the emails.
