Criticism:
Nick and Soda, especially Nick, need to stop using filler words, or hesitation markers. In one episode Nick used "like" way too many times. He needs to be comfortable with silence, slow down his speech, form sentences in his head before speaking.
They are going all over the place and repeating the topics from previous episodes. It's bad. If episode is bad record again. In most cases they are not coherent and it feels like they abandoned topic mid explanation without giving it any resolution. Episodes feel empty, talking for hour and nothing of substance is said. Talking about streamers without saying their names has no value.
Nick's body language is bad, he has defensive posture almost all the time while sitting and even laughing. He needs to fix that shit, it’s hard to watch.
They, especially Nick, need to stop with incel bullshit. He is lucky so many hard working idiots have been supporting him and are happy for his success, and he seems to be one of the laziest streamers on the platform, so for him to judge other streams especially girls and how easy it is for them is hypocritical and out of touch. He needs to show some gratitude and humility. Instead of counting his many blessing he is envious of those he claims he cares about.
Both of them, especially Nick, need to get in shape. I don't like looking at fat people gasping for air. Being in shape is much easier on the eye. He does not look good in thumbnails either, overweight and bloated. Did his barber change, because he had much better hair and beard last summer?
Phin needs to setup topical episodes and do a proper research, and then allow them give their opinions on the topic. Every topic they take they are unprepared and have no idea what they are talking about.
