I'm a regular listener but see where you're coming from, a little shit talk now and then is good for the soul.
Kelly's ego seems to get bigger and bigger though, which is odd.
Their format is to open with chit chat about nothing. I get it but frankly they need to know when to drop the off topic stuff. Then they get into the questions and frankly Crob likes to stick to the order of things. Nobody can jumo into an interesting story if it doesn't suit his timeline of questioning.
I have noticed that Kelly is getting more brazen towards Crob who pumps his authority a bit too much. The kids table jokes are funny for a minute but not for years.
I also noticed Kelly doesn't have a button anymore which might explain the growth of Kelly.
When I first listened to The Bunt, I wasn't that much of a fan of their ABC line of questioning (always opening with the same questions, rapid fire etc) but then I realised it's a formula that works. The interviewee knows what's comiung and so does the listener, and frankly the questions are good for the nerds listening. Cephas perhaps more than Doniovan is a real nerd and always makes sure to stop and ask about those tidbits everyone is wondering. Donovan will also tackle the elephants in the room. If anything this shows the hosts are invested and have researched their guest.
The only "hot" topic Crob loves to cover even if he keeps saying it doesn't need to be addressed is money.
Regarding Breana, I got the impression she's quite shy anyway and their fake niceness and goofy attitudes just pushed her further into as corner.
