Disclaimer: I've listened to your show since around ep 6-7. I did enjoy most of it, but recently some things start to become irritating.
I just listened half way through Ep 11. I can understand now why the recent negative feedbacks. Your talkshow is now sounding more like a bitching show. All the negative comments towards players without any reasonable reasoning is just so unprofessional. I have never/heard seen any sports talk show that insults/badmouths players as much as you guys do (maybe cause I don't listen to all the bad ones). But it just feels very unprofessional to keep mentioning "Player X" sucks or "I hate Player Y" over and over again.
For example: just from ep 11, you said that you hate TLO. Why? No reason given. If you think he just hasn't proven himself then you can just say that: TLO has yet to prove himself. You guys also said multiple times that Tester sucks? Why? If you feel he's just overrated player, then just say it that way.
I'm not sure if it's really your goal to stay as a "backyard talkshow" or you're actually trying to be something more professional. I mean, listen to other talk shows like SotG or GiantBomb's. Sure, they do joke around once in a while, but they don't insult other players. Even InControl's rant about Select's playstyle was a sound argument. He doesn't like someone's playstyle, but he doesn't insult the person directly.
If it's really what you want your show to become: a controversial show, then you're going on the right direction. But you may lose a lot of potential listeners that way.
TL;DR version: This talkshow is sounding more like a talkshow hosted by grumpy old men. You bitch too much about other players.
Alternate solution: Since you two are sounding more and more subjective, perhaps you should bring a third speaker who is more objective/neutral. Murray didn't sound half bad, but he was pretty quiet.

They talk like sports fans and its awesome. I love how they can hate on anyone because thats how people actually talk.
