They get a lot of hate, but like honestly they're no more self involved/interruption prone/blah blah than any other podcast. Ever listen to Marc Maron? He's so far up his own butt he can see his tonsils, but I've been an avid listener for a decade and it's helped me learn a lot about my own personality defects and he's super self aware. I think they work well together - Chris is dry and self deprecating but keeps the wheels turning, Jeron is hella chill and keeps it real but isn't afraid to drop a hot take, Kelly is a goofball and knows it but is painfully sincere and you can't help but love it, and Roger basically seems like the coolest guy every and I'd hang out with him every day. I started skating again last year after an on and off hiatus of about 15 years and this show really helped me get stoked again, catch up on my old favs, and learn about the new pros that are killing it. Do I stan Andy Anderson? No, but I don't hate him for being a nerd. Do I skate Dragons? No, too soft and I only skate odd numbered wheels. People don't get into making podcasts because they're selfless and don't like the sound of their own voices, just sayin'! Like most podcasts they're pretty dependent on the guest - Sewa isn't super interviewable, I still don't really know how he ended up on blind - but I watched him skate and now I don't care, his skating is about as robotic and uninteresting as personality - listen to the Jason Lee/Dune episode and you'll see the difference, they were way more suited to being guests on a podcast. Life is a lot better when you appreciate things for what they are instead of complaining about what you wish they were.
