Listening to AFE feels like hanging out at a friend’s house. I started listening after hearing Sean as a guest on Doug Loves Movies. I’ve since stopped listening to DLM as much, but I’m grateful it pointed me here. The back catalog is rewarding to explore to hear the origins of lots of bits, and get a fun snapshot of the GVG’s lives over the years. This has become my comfort show.

I love you guys and have for years, but it feels like you keep circling back to the same topics... Long-time listeners liked that these are guys who challenge themselves to change and try new things, while staying true to themselves. I'm missing those challenges and worry you're becoming caricatures of yourselves, or at least sedentary in your patterns. But we also liked that you weren't sedentary, that you stepped up to continually educate yourselves. I'm not seeing the education these days, when arguably we need it most. LEVEL UP!!! New guests, new topics, more diversity. More fun!

For being the only podcast, we’re lucky it’s so great. Laugh out loud funny, but then will provide life lessons and deep moments. Nothing better

The guys are hilarious, silly, and obviously love one another, and the premise of the show is super-engaging. My wife and I often do our own drafts.

I’ve been listening to AFE since 2018. I used to really enjoy the show, but over the years, the quality of the conversations and draft topics has waned.
Ian is still a ringer of a host, and David stands out as one of podcasting’s greatest cohosts. The third cohost is the biggest pain-point of the podcast, as he interjects with awkward, obnoxious, or ignorant dialogue. It has become so grating that I had to take an extended break from the show. I just don’t find ignorance funny or cute, and it’s on display on nearly every episode.
I’d suggest listening to old episodes in the 0-99 and 100-199 range. If you’re looking for some basic/lowest common denominator-type podcasting, you have it here with AFE.
