What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This show makes me laugh out loud as much as any other podcast. These dudes riff so well and come up with classic jokes on the fly like nobody’s business. Awesome show!

Sammy Bo Bobbo · Jul 2022

This radio show has been so great over the last 6 years. It’s consistently hilarious and has incredible interviews. Dan and Jay are two of the best comedians out there right now. It also helps that their crew is gifted on what they do ( shout out, Jacob, black Lou, dj Lou, and Christine) as well as being really funny.

rain_in_Plymouth · Mar 2022

Dj Lou’s drops are hilarious. Dan and Jay play off each other perfectly. All the guests they have are great. Just wish the pods were longer.

Jfife33 · Mar 2022

Big Jay and Dan are both independently hilarious, but together they are majestic steeds. Once you add the Lou’s, Jacob and Christine it literally feels like a family conversation every show. Everyone I recommend this to loves it. Do yourself a favor and listen to every episode you can.

Big Ray Elmerson · Mar 2022

Big Jay is one of the best comedy podcasters out there… Bobby on the other hand is not. He constantly tries to push people around like he’s a big shot. And the lying bit isn’t funny. It just makes people yell at their radios. Didn’t realize how many people agreed with me until I started reading some of these reviews. He clearly isn’t a fan favorite. I continue to listen for Big Jay but I find myself turning episodes off early because Bobby irritates me too much

Wisco_cjs · Mar 2026

I’ve been using Apple Podcasts for over a decade and I’m not into this new subscription model. Now there are 5 shows on the top of the feed before the free episode. So I’m going to miss a ton because I’m not sorting through what’s free and what paid everytime I go to find an episode. Clean it up
