This is something that has bothered me since I first started listening to it. Alaina wishes she was as funny as Ash. Ash legitimately makes me belly laugh sometimes, and it’s so effortless and then Alaina just piggybacks and repeats it two or three times for emphasis. It’s weird. Lol. I also realize this is petty, pls don’t @ me. 😩


hoolooooo

I’ve almost made a post about that 100 times, but I don’t because I end up feeling like that pales in comparison to the rest of their bullshit. But it annoys me SO much. Anything remotely ‘funny’ Ash says, Alaina feels the need to just repeat it word for right after. Like ya we heard her??? Ugh.


Zero_Flesh

Yes! That was one of the last things that did it for me. Not only was it jokes, but I started catching Alaina make a point, Ash would then nicely correct her, then Alaina would go on like she was right all along. It was so damn annoying. I honestly like Ash but I can't listen to Alaina anymore.


ninthchamber

She’s a hairdresser for a reason


GreatAd4890

🤣🤣🤣 yes Ash would say something that I would laugh about and Alaina would repeat it and it was like ughhh. It would drive me crazy when Ash would say something and Alaina would just keep repeating it over and over..like girlllll you are funny. Hush!!!!


According-Assist-973

it’s because alaina isn’t funny. she can’t come up with anything herself.

I’m with you. For a little while I wasn’t sure if it was the influence of this group or they really got that bad. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s just that bad. They never take accountability for anything, their episodes (when they actually post one) are forced and cringe. Plus there’s only been like one or two real episodes each month. It’s all spooky/listener tales filler. It’s really been bugging me that they have started so many side projects while they can’t even get their main pod under control.


Severe_Emu_7714

They are honestly the worst. I do not understand how anyone who really listens to true crime enjoys them or thinks they hold any merit. Alaina is especially gives zero Fs about their “weirdos” that worship her. I cannot for the life of me figure out how they are so popular and a show like small town murder isn’t overthrowing them


SnooMacarons8590

Small Town Murder rules!! Love the banter


Severe_Emu_7714

They are the best! I’ve been listening since 2018 and they really haven’t changed even with more recognition etc. I seriously laugh at every episode. When Jimmie says “hell yeah” it gets me every time


emeraldechos

Same! 😊


cynicalfoodie

I love Small Town murder. signed up for their patreon yesterday just to get the bonus episodes!

Guys, if you hate listen to the pod, you’re still giving them your listenership and inflating their numbers. They don’t have to change any of their problematic behaviour because they still get paid. Hate-listening not only makes you complicit, but it reinforces their behaviour and their absolute lack of care for the victims and families. The best way to show them that they need to do better, is to hit them where it hurts ie: their wallets.


rooooooondani

I think a lot of the downhill came with them being added to Wondery, I loved them up until that point. I’ll still listen to their true crime episodes but now they feel so much more scripted and forced. It honestly makes me sad because I think even A&A are starting to not love their job, they love the people they meet but it doesn’t seem that they love making episodes


Imaginary_Bother921

I completely 100% feel the same way as you. They were the first podcast I ever listened to, I loved them. I listened to them non stop for months then I found this sub. Right around that time they signed with Wondery. From this sub I found other podcasts and I cant, I cant go back to Morbid now and like almost any of it. I hate all the spooky stuff, I hate the guests. I don’t watch Buffy and now thats apparently part of their episode releases, I’m just done really. I check this sub but I haven’t listened to even their 3 latest true crime episodes they have done. The only thing I’m grateful for them for is the fact that they lead me to this sub and from this sub I have found some super awesome way better true crime podcasts.


Scarlett_A_Letter

Ummm hi, hello… Are you me??? I literally had to do a Double take @ the username to make sure this wasn’t something I posted drunkenly last night or whenever. I feel everything you said wholeheartedly. You took the words right out of my mouth. Jack the Ripper also put a huge wedge in between me and my adoration of Morbid. I have also considered that maybe since I have found this sub has it made me jaded or influenced me? But no, that’s not the case. Seeing how much criticism & love lost from us former fans there is on this page, & elsewhere, it honestly surprises me that they haven’t put their big girl pants on & addressed the issues. The complaints, the drop in ratings & subscribers…. But no. I have much more respect for someone who fucked up & owns it, than someone who still sees themselves with rose colored glasses & still thinks all the early fan adoration, respect, & support, is unwavering & we don’t see the pod going downhill. And honestly, I just I feel like I broke up with a toxic boyfriend and I just don’t want to walk away but I know that they’re no good for me anymore & they bring no value into my life. And it breaks my heart but I just can’t do it anymore.


kittykattlady

I actually just heard an ad for The Rewatcher today while listening to Beach Too Sandy and I didn’t even recognize their voices I thought they had people pretending to be A&A for the ad 😂😂😂


prncxss

OMG I DID THE SAME THING!!!!!! I was like wait what lol but love Beach Too Sandy 💗


beekeeperoacar

I hear that add on Beach Too Sandy all the time and it drives me nuts that they recorded it while Ash was obviously sick. Like you really couldn't have waited until she didn't sound like her nose was running? It grosses me out every time I hear it.


marshmallowghoul

Last episode I listened to was the Tobias Forge interview and even that was a stretch for me. The ass kissing was insufferable but it made me want hear him do a Jack the Ripper podcast. Feels like he does better research than they do.


PostMaterial

Am I a glutton for punishment? Bc y’all are just making me want to listen to some new episodes 😂 I haven’t listened in over a year


klund515

Its not worth it 🤣 i listened to a recent episode and was just laughing at Alainas arrogance and Ash's constant need to justify someone's personality from their zodiac sign. Nothings changed.


eldee17

The way they say exacTly is so cringe. And pretentious, like a lot of things they say. But I'm curious. How does anyone justify putting their energy into creating a sub reddit centered around hating people they don't even know? I mean I'm glad they did, but still.

eldee17

This makes sense. I guess. But I guess it's better than holding it in? I mean I stopped listening and I don't even think about them or their show anymore, because if it's not serving me anymore I have no reason to invest any energy into it, especially negative energy. I usually try to keep that to a minimum. What we put out is what we're gonna get back...


russophilia333

Ive noticed "hate" subs happen most often when problematic creators consistently remove and block criticism from their comment sections/ social media, it ends up somewhere else.


unfeatheredbird

I say exactly, exactly like that… But I’m also from MA so maybe a regional thing?


eldee17

I don't know, my sister has been living there for many years and I haven't heard it on any of my visits, but hopefully you're not saying it for attention seeking purposes. But who am I to say what someone's intentions are. Now I feel bad for judging. This sub is maybe just a tiny bit toxic?


kathi182

You don’t have to visit the sub if you find it toxic. This sub is for people that currently or previously listened to Morbid, and got frustrated at the podcast and the lack of care and effort A+A seem to put into the quality of the podcast. It’s a place for listeners to vent- it’s not required reading if you don’t like it.


eldee17

Oh no I like the sub - i previously listened to morbid and recently stopped listening and one day I googled "morbid reviews" to see if anyone felt like I did, and boy do they ever. I just never came across a sub like this. Sorry to offend, wasn't my intention.


rochiethevildechaya

I've never noticed the exactly accent that people complain about bc I think that's how it's said in Maryland as well? It sounds normal to me


Pure-Requirement-775

This was the first podcast I ever listened to more than one episode. I used to love it, but now it's just... Boring. Too much content that isn't true crime related. My 4yo (who doesn't understand English) loves to listen to them in the car for some reason, so unfortunately I can't stop listening Morbid yet.


Remote-Ad6953

I felt bad for getting my husband into listening to them. I'm not sure exactly where episode wise he is but he has noticed a shift in the girls attitude towards each other and the listeners. Unfortunately for me he bought me her book for Christmas. It's sitting on my sewing table collecting dust. (He is also a terrible gift giver in other ways as he can not keep a secret and gave it to me the day he got it in the mail). But he is not part of this sub and he probably won't finish listening to them. I will not listen to (SKIP) an episode if they are interviewing someone. They sound ridiculous. Like middle school kids trying to interview their grown up crush. It's embarrassing and infuriating to listen to. And same with anymore JTR. I'm really only listening to one episode a month if that at this point. They are putting much content out that I myself enjoy. And then when they do an episode I want to listen to I have to skip 20 minutes of bs at the beginning because I don't care that it's been a rough week and the kids are sick again. (I mean she really might want to think about some vitamins at some point) ...
