What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is my absolute favorite. I have listened since the beginning and have never reviewed but the my fit foods talk from this recent episode was so funny I had to come here and say it. Overall, I love the effortless flow of this show, even tho Maxx brings his topics to keep the momentum which I can appreciate-the whole squad episodes and hearing all the hilarious stories and opinions. I could go on and on. It’s so good. Thank you for making this effort for us so early on Sunday mornings!!

Idk why it took me so long to start listening, been watching the vlogs for many years. Don’t be sour has made it to my top podcast list for sure. Always a good time no matter the topic and no matter if I agree or disagree. Keep it going yall!

BeBreezy · Oct 2025

Every Monday I look forward to the podder being dropped on YouTube. It’s 60 to 90 mins of laughter & knowledge. Politics to health/fitness to gaming to finances to you name it! There’s a little bit of everything, for everybody!

Rodini!! · Oct 2025

I struggle so hard finding a podcast I love and LOVE this one. I listen every morning (sometimes I relisten to old ones-Judge me) Feels like a chat with friends! Ps congrats!

Laurenannee · Oct 2024

Used to love this pod when it was all about interviews but it’s lately felt like a political talk show with tons of factually incorrect citations, takes, and rationales. I think I’d actually really enjoy the politics talk if Joe would fact check anything he says lol
