Listener sentiment
This Is Important continues to command fierce listener loyalty, with the large majority of recent reviewers calling it their favorite podcast and a genuine weekly comfort — a source of consistent, laugh-out-loud humor rooted in the hosts' Workaholics-era chemistry. Fans repeatedly praise the group's comedic timing, the soundboard drops, and the sense of "hanging with the guys" that carries them through commutes, chores, and tough stretches alike. The most persistent frustration is ad load: across dozens of reviews, listeners describe commercial breaks as excessive and growing, with some saying it has pushed them to the brink of dropping the show, especially those who listen on the go and can't skip safely. Kyle Newacheck's absence remains a deep, recurring wound — even five-star reviewers regularly ask for his return, feeling the dynamic loses balance without him. Criticism of Adam Devine surfaces from multiple angles: some find him self-absorbed or out of touch with celebrity anecdotes, while others take issue with his political commentary from both directions, suggesting his remarks alienate listeners on either side. Minor gripes about Anders eating audibly during episodes and the occasional "best of" rerun instead of fresh content round out the complaints, but the core audience's affection is unmistakable and unwavering.
