It's real journalistic/presenter talent, IMO.

    Great episode, surprisingly really really sad episode in what feels like a psuedo send-off. we'll likely never see this combo again, whoever left the comment "Huber and 3 ghosts" really struck something in me and I got pretty emotional.
    Really shocking how great Huber is at hosting, he would have slotted perfectly into Frame Trap/EZA podcast hosting duties, some of those transitions were really fun.
    It's really fun to have Bosman there to play the counter and even Jones to some extent just not buying into the hype of some stuff and forcing a more interesting conversation

    I’ve listened to my fair share of different gaming podcasts for 10+ years and while there are others that I love and enjoy and listen to weekly still, there’s literally NOTHING like what we see here with this group.
    The chemistry and camaraderie, the hype and also thoughtful critique, the obvious humor and playfulness intertwined with the inside jokes and very personal connection. The way Kyle pokes the bear with everyone and always manages to pull more conversation out of a topic. Huber was a fantastic host this episode as well.
    The whole coverage Thursday was fantastic honestly.
    Reminded me of E3’s in the past and proves just how dynamic this group is when they’re all together. As others have said “lightning in a bottle”.
    It’s sad to see another ally go and know that things are changing again. I hope this group knows how special they all are and that their content and coverage was truly unmatched.

    I absolutely hate that it feels this way, but this podcast feels like the gathering after a funeral where friends gather to reminisce about the one who passed, which in this case feels like Easy Allies :(
