Where are the older humans?

Before this thread is closed, I wanna share Steve Swanson's thoughts on how the story was received. Good news for Shane, JD only talks for 10 seconds. Listen from 45:15 to 51:34: http://muppethub.com/e85-11pc/

I frankly don't like either of them.

Steve's intention seemed in the right place, though why he thought they'd actually put out a statement about their departure beforehand was completely misguided. Had they actually retired properly, they would've gotten much more positive feedback he had hoped they'd get and maybe awards in the same vein Sonia did, but honestly, Sonia is much more unique than them. Longevity wasn't the key to her recent adoration; she was an important stepping stone in Latin American women in media. I can't say Emilio did the same for men, but Roscoe wasn't a pioneer for African Americans and Bob was just an Irish tenor

So you'll listen to their shows only if they're interviewing important people from the Muppets like Peter Linz or Andrew James Spooner?

Sorry you feel that way.

I used to listen to the MuppetCast regularly. 11PC I don't even remember hearing about until not long ago and even so, I don't listen to that.

I could go on about the MuppetCast, but I'll summarize: I'm sure Steve is a super-nice guy and all, but as a host, he's boring and often uninformed. JD is trying way too hard and comes off annoying because of it.

To each their own.

There's no hard feelings for Bob and Emilio being let go. At the 29:44 mark of this video, Bob says he's happy to be spending more time with his family:

Thanks for sharing, but I still believe they should not have been forced to leave.

Yo', look at this!

And he looks happier than ever to be back.
