    Great podcast
    I’m trying to listen to every podcast from the start (on 13 right now). Why did Joey stop asking for reviews in the more recent episodes.

    Haters
    Honestly you’re being way over critical there’s definitely some problems with the show but I think you’re being a little dramatic

    Hidden Gem
    Don’t know how I came across this but I’m glad I did. And for the record I got laid shortly after listening to this podcast.

    Drives away the big sad
    I often have big sadness but when I listen to these buffoons I do not have the big sadness

    Amazing podcast
    The podcast is amazing. Talks very in-depth about both the dota game and the dota community. The guests are well chosen, and the topics that are talked about are also very informative. Love to hear more from Cap and our boy Joey every week.

    Fun Times
    Informative! Entertaining! A great way to keep up with DOTA on commutes. Cap is well spoken and full of interesting stories and pro scene insights. Leaf is well versed in various topics and has grown on me. A great highlight to my ears and days!

    Racially insensitive comment
    I listened to the first few minutes of the Twitch Rivals episode. I heard the comment, “On a scale of 1 to George Floyd” in regards to a police encounter. I’m not going to listen any further. I don’t know if you guys have used your platform to raise awareness for racial injustice or not, and I may never know. Like I said, I’m not going to listen further. Making light of such a heavy issue undermines anything positive you guys very well could have done on an earlier issue.

    SCUFFED
    This podcast is nearly 30 episodes in but somehow it still manages to sound like an old modern warfare 2 lobby in terms of voice quality. I know one of the hosts (joey) used to work in hollywood and is now unemployed, but perhaps he can work out some sort deal with his co-host to get an acceptable microphone, or even pick up a mad catz headset from goodwill which will surely have better audio than whatever contraption he currentyl uses to record his voice. scuffed audio aside, this podcat is great. the topics and guests are interesting

    Great podcast!
    This was my go to podcast when I still needed to drive to work. Now It’s harder to find a time for podcast (I’ll play 12v12 if I have the time) but I still enjoy it a lot. Question: What are the other games you two play beside dota 2?

    The POGcast
    They are like the people that show up to work in sweats, sandals and a polo compared to a suit. One person takes the job super seriously while the other gets the same work done but may drink throughout the day. At the end of the day you know whos more entertaining.
  • newanseldam

  • Bolteezy
    LA Traffic
    Cap and Joey lure you in with promises of DotA 2 content but instead they have guest on to talk about how good or bad LA really is. They also go A-God.
  • CDotyii
    This review is for Cap
    I really love how consistently sexy Cap looks in every episode. This podcast is one of the best dota podcasts for audio only listeners like myself. Keep up the good work you guys and please call me Cap

    Charismatic hosts, great guests and content. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.
  • Josh Buford
    Great personalities make for a fun Dota podcast
    Cap and Joey are a great combo that makes for fun and interesting podcasts. They interview players and talent in an engaging way that delivers a more personal interview and helps the audience get to know the Dota personalities. TLDR: Great podcast, listen plz
  • theenotorious
    The best Dota pod
    My favorite Dota podcast! Cap and Joey do a great job!
  • huangster69
    Nice podcasts
    Good for any dota or esports fan! Ok the Charlie episode makes me feel a bit better about potentially living in LA post graduation. Funny podcasts for long car rides. I’ve beaten the UCLA CSL team Joey, just FYI.

    Good job

    Great Stuff
    Joey and Cap are making some really good dota content, looking forward to their next guests and further insights on the meta.
  • tfgdota
    Great podcast to listen to while I’m dealing with idiots at work!
    Took me like 5 minutes just to find out how to leave a review on this website , usually listen on Spotify. It’s honestly nice to have just a chill podcast where dota exists but isn’t the focus. Listening to it just feels like chilling with the boys, with the casual atmosphere and lack of sellout ad breaks! I’m glad I can listen to these two idiots babble on instead of listening to annoying pretentious coworkers :)

    IT’S THAT GOOD
    Y’all, I never, repeat, NEVER listen to podcasts despite people telling me for YEARS to listen to this or that. As soon as I heard about Sidepull I knew I needed to give it a listen and I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! I didn’t know and still have to google who Leafeater is, but I started following Cap sometime right before TI9 bc I legit love his style/voice and he makes me laugh really hard. I listened to this on my drive up to Portland and back, so like, legit several hours straight. Was just arriving home at the end of the episode with the “head trauma” and I just about died and had to pull over I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see the road thru my tears. AND LEAFEATER I KNOW IM LIKE MAD LATE TO THE GAME BUT WILL YOU SEND ME SOMETHING?? 😂💓 Love y’all!!! Can’t wait for more!!
  • Jandor
    5/5 would listen again
    Joey and Cap have a good dynamic and it’s always good to hear more about the DOTA2 scene from the folks in the thick of it.
  • xyzzychan
    Great listen
    More cap content is an insta cop, lead eater or whom ever is a chill dude, keep it up guys
  • BassoonGuy25
    Fulfilling my Dota Podcast Needs
    Joey and Austin have a great thing going on so far with this podcast, and I’m always happy to have another great podcast to listen to. It’s super causal and easy to listen to with great chemistry and some great guests (more Grant plz). Keep it up gents! Cheers, A fellow Austin
  • vwagenjetta
    Seriously...
    This is easily the best Dota 2 podcast available. These two are both very good at talking, and very passionate, knowledgeable, and interesting to listen to. The fact that there isn't any cheesey intors or outros or soundboarding, or "but first..." sponsor spots going on, that it's just an hour long conversation about the Dota 2 scene, makes it easy to listen to as well. Keep it up, guys! Also, I'll be watching on YouTube mostly to admire Cap's fantastic viking hair.

    GG
    This podcast makes me wanna punch BSJ right in the ovary!!! Hi guys
  • Gamer47PRO
    Freakin Awesome Man
    Great freakin podcast man! (Read in Cap’s voice) Really though, it’s great. Love the chemistry between you guys. Love the laughs and tangents. Love the way you turn it all back to Dota somehow at some point. Really nice to hear your opinions and views on the Dota pro scene. Let’s us (and honestly) 3K-4K mmr folks feel involved. Keep it going! Please. Gives me something to listen to on my hour commute. Daniel Kerr

    Great podcast
    I have been looking for a good Dota 2 podcast for awhile and this one is the best. Capitalist is half of the greatest casting duo of all time and leafeator the guy who invented the most boring way to play Dota with his jungle necro guide.
  • Gimpy joe
    Dota chat 😀
    I came for the dota, and came again for the bruised penis stories. 5 Stars.
  • Dukeofdeceit
    Awesome
    Very refreshing, relaxing podcast with high quality Dota 2 discussion. Leafeator and Cap are a wonderful!
  • Mr Cr1ngle
    Finally!
    So happy to finally see a well produced (not just webcams and crappy audio) and regularly posted DOTA podcast. Cap and Leafeator are great together. Excited to see this grow some more and get more guests over the season!
  • TheXin
    Dookieanime was right
    This podcast is great
  • alfreddyang
    Inspirational
    Leafeator is extremely comphrehensive and educational. I learned a lot on how to be a better Dota player after absorbing some of the most difficult concepts that were broken down into easily digestible components. All in all, a fantastic guide for any novice player to take up if they want to become something more. Thank you!
  • Qadesse
    a podcast for any self respecting dota enthusiast
    I’ve been following the scene for quite some time and it truly is great to have a podcast that is both easy to follow for newer audiences while still remaining pertinent for more knowledgeable players. Big fan of Capitalist and leafeator and it’s been an absolute treat to get to see them collaborate on such an amazing project!
  • fishboijr
    Very neat
    I don’t even like dota, but I like this podcast!
  • kliz1214
    A must listen for every Dota fan
    Have been following Austin and Joey for a while now, so great to see them do a podcast together. More genuine and entertaining than other Dota podcasts I’ve listened to. Can’t wait to see how their show develops!
  • jeanett.thebrunette
    Oodles of fun
    Thank you to Leafeator & Cap for such an enjoyable series!
  • TonyMacarroni
    Where have you been all my life!?
    Finally something out there for my interests! I wish this existed years ago! Keep it up, the pod can only get better! Anybody remotely interested in gaming, doter, valve, mobas, or esports should give it a try. Impatiently waiting each next release 👍🏾
  • ThatGuy1864
    Fantastic!
    Leafeater and the Capitalist are awesome! I am so happy I found this podcast
  • leejl01
    Dota’s #1 postcast
    The best Dota podcast on the market from two diehard Dota fans
  • Jason Torkos
    Good Stuff
    It’s an in depth podcast, without taking itself to seriously. Great mix of comedy and Dota coverage!
  • nlimon10
    Perfect for Beginners and Veteran players
    The two hosts do a fantastic job of presenting dense information in an approachable way. I might not know everything there is to know about DOTA, but they're great at contextualizing all their conversations
  • CarlSwagan
    Good stuff
    Joey really knows his stuff and is handsome
  • empress of the multiverse
