Great for specific analysis, but filled with too much other stuff

“I’ve been a regular listener of the show for a couple of years now. I’ve tried many other financial/investing podcasts, and overall this is still my favorite. Steve is a natural; Justin is still a little rough in his delivery/interaction with callers and issues.
Unfortunately, the show has gotten worse in my opinion over the last year or so. This show is at it’s best when Steve or Justin is discussing/analyzing a *specific* investment idea or option (usually based on callers, emails, or phone messages), and this used to be a significant portion of the show’s total time. There analysis (mostly fundamental but some technical in there too here and there) is generally free of bias, and teaches sound value-investing principles. When analyzing these individual *specific* investment choices, I think there’s no better podcast out there.
However…that analysis of *specific” investment choices has become an increasingly-shrinking part of the show. Now…for a typical 45-minute show…you’ve got maybe 15 minutes of this *specific* investment-based analysis. The rest of the time is consumed by shilling/marketing their seminars, services, etc., discussing “what’s coming up later today” (how about just skipping that “preview” and just talking about it???), repetitive rants against TESLA/Elon Musk, the Fed, and rambling discussions of “general financial news stories” (some from credible/decent news sources, others not so much). With the marketing, I get that. The podcast is free and it has to be justified. But I wish the repetitive rants and the discussion of general financial news stories and issues (e.g. Fed rate hikes, etc.) could be minimized. Please go back to focusing most of the podcast time on analyzing *specific* investment choices/ideas based on caller/listener input and leave the general financial news analysis to others…
PS: I also wish Steve would lose his “the experts are always wrong” mantra. This is a nonsensical statement. If the idea is that at least *some* of the experts are always wrong, that’s obviously true, but so what? We have three choices: believe all “experts,” believe no “experts” and believe some “experts.” The first two are obviously foolish, but the last one isn’t compatible with “the experts are always wrong” statement”
