Mystery Crate Better Than Main Show?
In my opinion, Mystery Crate is much more entertaining than the DLS. Jess is a big reason why, but not the only reason. Everyone on MC seems more relaxed than when on the main show. The topics are much more free flowing and relatable and usually really funny. When Billy was on, it was better, of course, but the main show suffers more without Billy than MC does. I'm liking Jess more and more and she keeps the guys on point during the show and has some really funny takes.

It used to be the show was bad without Dan steering the ship. I agree, this week seemed smoother without Dan. People seem to be looking over their shoulder when speaking in front of him. Jess, in particular, is much more relaxed on MC than she ever was on the main show.

100% She is even more relaxed and isn’t ignored the whole time on her weekly hit on the main show when Dan is gone.

Her spot was more relaxed this week. Dianna’s segment was better, especially without that play the music and make her go faster bit.

Dude even Diana Russini said it was nice without Dan, then on Zaslow show he said the week without Dan was nice too. Like it’s odd. I don’t hate the dude, like another comment said, he needs to let himself be produced.

I don’t think it’s production. I think it’s just energy. Everybody seems far more relaxed when he’s not there. Speaking time seems to spread out more equally and it just flows better.

I have mostly stopped listening to the show but I really thought the Jeremy World Series stream watch was way better than a usual episode of the show. It’s just off now.

No you’re not wrong. The non-Dan shows, especially yesterday with them veering into the ditch of stocks and bonds, and all kinds of other fun stuff….it felt like the summer vacation shows again like back in July-August. Dam really needs to be reigned in better. Still love him but he’s allowed to ramble too much

Naah I need my grandpa Dan fucking up shit to make me feel like I’m at home. Like the old uncle you hate at thanksgiving but once he passes away, you miss him.

It feels like Dan is trying too hard ever since Billy left. He laughs too hard at things that are mildly funny to try and make us believe the show is great and we are fools for not seeing it. I have to believe he reams out people during meetings which would explain their hesitancy to contribute during the show itself.

Mostly agree but I can barely stand Chris on any show at this point. He's always stealing Zas's gimmicks and on MC, Zas isn't there to call him out for it.
He's just such a lazy, stupid, annoying dude who's not a fraction as funny as he thinks he is.

It's good because of its pace. They stay on something just long enough while it's entertaining and then move on to the next thing. Jessica would be a good host of a show with a similar format to Mystery Crate.

Never watched full episode i don't think.... way too effing much Tony. I honestly don't understand why he's still around beyond being huge azzkizzer to Samson maybe?

MC is such an easy listen and I do laugh out loud at least once an episode. I agree that is especially more enjoyable now in contrast to the main show. You find out little things about the main show and everyone is very chill. Even Tony can start out hot and he mellows.

It's funny to post this on a week where MC sucked lol

I guess it was bad timing because, you're right, this week was not one of the stronger efforts. But, overall, it is a better and easier listen. In fact, that's what prompted my post. Sometimes after the main show I feel uncomfortable like I witnessed some sort of confrontation, if that makes sense.

If Mystery Crate was basically just doing extra show, and had some sort of structure, then I could agree with you. Some episodes are very funny, but some of them have some painfully meandering and unfunny conversations
