I'm curious to know what percentage of the audience listened to the show because of Dan.
I listened to the original Talk Show (pre 5x5) and I could not stand Gruber's constant "y'knows" and stopped after 2 episodes.
After 5by5 started and I was listening to his other podcasts, I gave the Talk Show a second chance because I like Dan, and thankfully Gruber worked on his verbal tics. In the end, however, the Gruber part of the show wasn't interesting enough to me, and I stopped listening.
- nicholassmith 14y agoI've tried all the shows on 5by5 and with few exceptions if Dan doesn't cohost I'm not as interested. He dumbs himself down at times and acts as a foil, it works and extracts more from the cohost. From his writing he is a really smart guy but he plays the role that he has too.
