THE PANEL'S ANSWER
Tony Mobley

Submit questions early, especially if asking panelists to review videos, as clicking links takes time. Panelists should read ahead to improve show flow. Detailed advice deferred to Sunday discussion.

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

From the transcript.

Machine-transcribed, so it may contain errors. Every timestamp opens the episode at that second.

38:23but normally we, like inside baseball stuff, we spend more time on Sunday. So I would encourage everyone to come back and we can discuss it further. So we're not going to really spend too much time on this. But I would say generally for me, I think the biggest recommendation I have is generally people put questions in, make sure you put your questions in early,

38:43especially if you're asking the panelists to comment on, say, a video, for example. Like if we have to click on a video for YouTube, that takes time. So that is generally what I recommend. And for panelists, you know, just reading ahead and looking at those questions early as possible also helps the flow of the show. But we'll talk about that more on another day.
