Hilarious podcast! And Carlos is a great fit! As a previous high school mascot, I was cracking up listening to your stories

k8fir · Sep 2026

I didn’t think it could get any better, but Chris has proven me wrong. My number one favorite podcast is even BETTER now with the addition of the lovely Carlos. If you haven’t listened yet, do yourself a favor. It’s such a wonderful distraction from the daily grind. I truly savor and enjoy (and re-listen to) each new episode. You guys are truly the best ❤️

Edit: Alex is an absolute angel for saving that pigeon!! 🥹 This is the only podcast where I’ve gone back and listened to past episodes. I just started listening this year (first heard Chris on Juicy Scoop) and I’ve already made it back to June 2024. It’s my “comfort” podcast - sometimes I even listen to Chris & Alex at night while falling asleep. Chris has a way of being sarcastic and dry, but also lighthearted and good-natured. I love when he does an impression of his dad lol. They’re both smart, but it’s easy listening. It’s perfect. ❤️ Love you guys!

rayk3 · Jul 2026

Love this podcast it literally is a guaranteed laugh Chris & Alex are so good at chopping it up, you’ll listen to old ones a second (maybe 3rd) time! Absolutely love listening to this podcast. Chris’ humor and story telling is a rare talent few possess. Always good music & this has expanded my music playlist! Chris & Alex’s talking about the tunes is just an extra! Sooo glad I found Cover to Cover!
