A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’m sitting here listening to the pod with my 6-year-old next to me playing, and I don’t have to worry about anything inappropriate or weird coming up. Thank you for keeping it clean, funny, and genuinely enjoyable. It’s a bright spot in my week!!

Htroxell · May 2025

Was hoping to win the 1K prize but love them enough to give 5 stars without it. One of the only pods I listen to as soon as it comes out. Came for Dustin’s comedy but stayed for Mel’s being Mel.

ViolentlyPink · May 2025

I discovered “Don’t Make Me Come Back There” after their crossover episode with the Nateland podcast last summer, and it has become my favorite weekly listen! I love this show for the same reasons I love Bluey — both illustrate the highs & lows of family life in a light-hearted & playful way that makes parents feel seen and keeps drawing us back to the joy & wonder that accompany the challenges of parenthood. Thank you so much for being who you are, Dustin & Melissa! ❤️

Listening to this podcast feels like someone hacked my brain and turned my inner thoughts into a hilarious family podcast. 5 stars for making me feel seen… and slightly called out.
