Funny You Ask is a weekly comedy-trivia show hosted by Ike Barinholtz, who gathers his funniest friends to question their most random, odd, and “wait… why do you know that?” obsessions with the world. Soup? Sure, why not. The Mets? Duh. Roman Empire? You got it, Caesar. It’s part conversation, part pop quiz, and full of knowledge you didn’t know you needed—until now. The score doesn’t matter, the ... more

  • Ike farts a lot

    Seth Rogan starts to sound like RFK Jr. from laughing at Ike’s gastrointestinal issues. By far the best episode of a podcast I’ve heard in a while.

  • Makes Me Happy

    This podcast makes me so happy. I always loved hearing Ike on other podcasts and when I heard he had his own - I was excited. Every week I listen and laugh outloud wherever I am. He is so quick and funny. Weird to say- if I knew him in person- I would love hanging out because his energy and silliness lightens my mood!
