As someone who use to donate monthly to this podcast, and support it by signing up for the "advertisements" listed on the website I regret to say I will no longer be doing this. With the announcement that the shows will be cut back because they are having a child almost seems like a slap in the face of the fans. Is it hard to hire a baby sitter for an hour or two? As they are both actors they will already have to more then likely hire a nanny as I doubt they'll be bringing their child on set with them when they film their TV series, or do other engaging things as actors. This is the equivalent to someone having a child and telling their boss their going to cut their hours down by half, how much of an asset is that person to their job now? I LOVED this podcast, it was easily one of the best podcasts out there. But only having a single podcast(mini episodes don't count since its just ad's and reading non sense questions off of Facebook) is death to any podcast, and shows a lack
of interest of that podcast. It's one thing to have it be a hobby of yours, but if that was the case there wouldn't be advertising non stop, and merchandise for sale. I'm all for being compensated for talent and time, don't get me wrong on that. But either you're in, or you're out, and it seems like they have one foot in and one foot out. Great they might be starting a new podcast! But we don't want a new podcast, we like HDTGM, and the format offered. This just seems like some horrible idea of offering something that'll stop fans from jumping ship. It just doesn't seem worth it paying monthly for something that's being cut in half, and I doubt I'm the only one feeling this way. Thanks for the hours of entertainment, but in this day and age when there's thousands of quality podcasts, you need to give it %100 not %50.
lolI wonder if Jason will get a Twitter account with all the free time he'll have now?
Paul posted an email sent by a "fan" about the recent news.
Anyone else feel they have killed the podcast?
wha? by doing it less?
Should I watch this before I listen? I wasn't planning on it but Jason pretty much insists on it within the first 3 minutes or so.

Man, it really screws with me everytime I see you post. It boggles my mind that there is another jred out there.
FYI - June's movie, Ass Backwards was added to Netflix streaming today:

They really sucked the air out of this pod. I miss the old days.
I know. Hopefully they go back to their old schedule at some point. I really have no idea when a new episode is coming out so I'm just surprised now when I look at my iPhone and see a new episode. I used to highly anticipate this podcast.
I'm to the point of just hoping to see Jason on Comedy Bang Bang. :lol
I wasn't even a listener of Comedy Bang Bang, I just decided to pick it up when this went on it's hiatus/smaller schedule.
If you can, go back through the archives and get all the Andy Daly/Jason Mantzoukas episodes. Amazing stuff.

I'm currently working my way through this. It's great! I expected it to be more about them talking about the creation of the movies instead on just what happens in it, but it's so entertaining anyway.
My new favourite comedy podcast since Ricky Gervais. Anyways, I'm off creating a squarespace page now....
Damn I already caught up. Though I feel like starting at the beginning again and not skip the minisodes this time...
I agree. They were also pretty unenthusiastic about it. They didn't really go through the movie either, they just picked random spots.Just listened to the Easy Rider 2 episode. Got to say I wasn't really feeling it. Too obscure of a film. Had it's moments but when you're only getting one podcast a month you hope it's going to be a great one, and this didn't really deliver for me.

Aren't they holding on to a live episode?
