Hey,

this may seem harsh, but actionjeans in my opinion does not suit the podcast - having one IT-intelligent geek and a not so savy person on the podcast was a great idea, having two intelligent people who are both dry and sarcastic doesnt, it just comes across cocky and kind of self indulgent.


bring back geoff and jordan squabling and talking about all things tech, like the podcast was meant to be like, instead of what it has been the last couple of weeks. he doesnt add much to the podcast (even if he loves dio!)

I have to disagree; I think Action Jeans is a good addition to the show and I enjoy his witty remarks and occasional sarcasm. Regardless though, it seems everyone at the Ultra Podcast has been really busy with other stuff lately, and so if Action Jeans is the only co-host available at the time, I'd say be thankful he's there, even if you don't care for him.

Agreed I like Action Jeans. Its nice to have someone of similar to Geoff's intellect, that way the discussions are deeper then just petty arguing. :serious:

When did Geoff and Jordan ever talk about all things tech together? :-? Geoff talking at Jordan about tech stuff doesn't count as them discussing it.
It's nice having someone that can actually converse with Geoff in between the Geoff and Jordan craziness (wich I also enjoy of course).

So yeah, imo, Action Jeans should stay.

its not that i dont like the guy - i think he is a good "presenter"/host - its just because he is so similiar to geoff it doesnt really gel as well and gets a little boring


and you're right - we do need more updates.. :/

it seems the whole site has slown down somewhat, which is sad concidering how much work has been put into it.

I'd cut 'em some slack. They do all of this in their spare time, and they all have jobs to go to everyday. And remember, they're not getting paid for this. :-)

fair enough, i was under the assumption that they were trying to make this site their main source of income, not having r/l jobs apart from the pizza place..


btw i didn't mean any ill feelings towards actionjeans - i just really feel he changes the dynamic of the podcast in a negative way. i almost think he would be better in the main podcast or one of his own, imo.

Action Jeans was probably the best thing for the podcast. I thought the Geoff and Jordan thing got kind of stale and at least we can hear the news with only a few minor disturbances. They all mesh well IMO, Jordan still provides plenty of lulz and AJ and GS provide great news, discussion, and lulz.

I didn't really care for Action Jeans much at first with that Tiki Bar and those cigarettes of his, but he's starting to grow on me. Let's just throw something video game or technology related behind that tiki bar: perhaps some video game boxes, posters or future phones. Anything besides that plain wall and window.

Action Jeans is a cool guy and he has some great comedic timing. Also, there was some staleness to the show, and Geoff and Jordan were getting a bit too snappy at each other, so AJ came in at just the right time to mix the pot a bit.

I remember AJ's first podcasts both the GH Podcast and TUEGATPWDAS and at first I was like "who the fuck is this guy?" and "wtf is up with his hair?" At first I didn't care too much for him but I think that was just because he was a new addition. In retrospect I have watched both episodes recently and now that I know who he is I found myself laughing at just about everything he said. So I say getting rid of him is a bit harsh and excessive, but that's just my opinion.

I like the 3 way thing.

It's kinda like a game of monkey in the middle.

I like Actionjeans. :-)
I've enjoyed the last two Ultra podcasts alot thanks to the irratic but great nature they are together. (Geoff and AJ)

If Jordan can't do it AJ is a fine replacement IMO.
Keep him. :yuush:
I like 8-)

i didn't like him when he first showed up (probabaly because he was always wasted), but i have grown to like and respect him he is a good edition to the show and should stay on

P.S. - does it really matter anyway i haven't seen a show in weeks maybe even months

Locking since this argument seems pretty pointless with the recent announcement.
