Something about all that pausing in between his sentences really frustrates me, haha.

I also used to love Rome but never really listen anymore. It's all about the inside jokes. If you're keeping up with it, those bits become funny. But just tuning into a random episode once ever couple of months, yeah, it'll just be weird and random.
I could see how many Canadians have an issue with the lack of hockey talk, but what I can't stand is the clones. I feel like he leans on them way heavier than he used to when I was a regular listener. I just find them cringe-worthy embarrassing. They completely jack his style (yes I know that's why they're called "Clones". It doesn't make it any better), it's just weird.
And it's one thing if they're just chirping each other off the cuff, but it's so obvious they're reading off a sheet they were probably up until 3am crafting, including written in spots for guffaws and stuff. I can't handle it, I'm simultaneously annoyed by and embarrassed for all of them. I don't give a crap about your attention-starved listeners Rome, just do your thing and leave them out of it. That show is WAY too fan-heavy lately I find.
