What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I’ve never laughed harder. It’s like having really funny friends and you get to just sit back and listen and laugh cry.

dazeey · Feb 2024

Adal, Rob, and Brett do a great job of milking three words for all they’re worth. Their goofs, gags, stories, nostalgia, puns, etc. are a lot of fun. I hope this show takes off like Adal’s other podcasts, Hey Riddle Riddle and Hello from the Magic Tavern, which are also excellent. Thanks guys!

The More You Joe · Oct 2023

I would die for these three old nerds. wish I had found this podcast after five years so I had more to listen to, instead of waiting for each Tuesday with more excitement than I thought possible.

While you’d think the concept of this show too played out, the comedic force of these 3 brothers pulled through. Adal Rifai brings his two younger brothers Brett Lyons, and Rob White together to record a WACKY podcast. All are veterans of Chicago improv scene, they have such natural chemistry with incredible experience that comes together to make this gut busting funny podcast.
