Josh and Ben are so funny. I usually don’t like podcasts hosted by men, but Good Guys is the exception! They’re fun and happy and lighthearted, and they really are just good guys. I love when Ben laughs so hard at Josh’s jokes that Josh keeps going with the joke for like 2 minutes. Also, I LOVE when we hear from Josh’s wife Paige. She reminds me of Hilary Duff. Just so clever and relatable and pretty and nice. I want to be friends with her! I’m glad that I’ve noticed more of an effort from Ben to try to be a little less out of touch, and I hope he continues to do so. There are definitely still moments where he gives some out-of-touch takes, so I’ll give this show 5 stars once that’s happening less. (I still feel like I have to brace myself for these takes going into each episode.) Love you guys!
My favorite picker upper podcast, you get funny, you get food reviews and ideas, relationship advice, parenting advice gotta love these two adorable men. Mazel !!!
Josh and Ben are so funny. I usually don’t like podcasts hosted by men, but Good Guys is the exception! And I love the energy the new producer brings. It’s so fun hearing her laugh in the background, and she always has such a good perspective. The only things I’m hoping they’ll be more mindful of: (1) I wish Josh and Ben would just read the Speakpipes. The audio quality is always so jarring, and a lot of the people don’t have great podcast voices. It’s like I’m listening to a voicemail, and it really disrupts the flow. (2) Although I love hearing about Josh’s celebrity adventures, *sometimes* he and Ben are kind of elitist and out of touch, and those moments feel like they’re throwing a wrench in the light and fun listening experience. There was one episode where Ben said salmon is $28 a pound. (Thank you, Josh, for saying that’s not normal!) And they talk a LOT about airports and flying—their default is always first class—but most of us rarely fly. So when they talk about it like it’s part of their everyday lives, it’s just a constant reminder of their privilege.
Usually when Josh or Ben are saying “this is the worst podcast ever” is when I’m laughing the hardest. Literal belly laughs. Love them and this pod!!
I’ve been a longtime listener and genuinely love this podcast. You guys are hilarious, relatable, and it’s one of the shows I listen to the most. Recently though, some of the conversations around parenting and social life have started to feel a little preachy or shame-y. I completely agree that kids grow up fast and being present matters so much, but parenting looks different for everyone. For my husband and me, maintaining a social life and prioritizing our marriage is actually what fills our cup and helps us show up as better parents. A strong, happy partnership is part of the example we want to set for our kids. If staying home with your kids every weekend is what works for someone else, that’s great too — there’s room for all kinds of parenting styles. I might be reading into it more than intended, but lately it’s felt a little heavy on the judgment. I still really enjoy the podcast and will keep listening — just hoping we can keep things a bit lighter again because that’s what made me fall in love with the show in the first place!
I honestly really enjoy this podcast, which is why I hate leaving a one-star review, so I’ll leave two, especially because Josh is great. Unfortunately, Ben’s takes have become increasingly difficult to listen to. They often feel out of touch and unsupported, and there have been multiple moments where I’ve genuinely cringed listening to his commentary. Josh regularly seems to make an effort to politely correct, add context, or redirect the conversation, but Ben rarely seems receptive to it. What’s most frustrating is that the criticism doesn’t appear to be taken constructively, so it’s hard to imagine the dynamic improving. I’d happily give this podcast a much higher rating for Josh, but as long as Ben continues approaching conversations this way, it’s become really difficult to enjoy.
