  • I never knew how much I would love this until I listen to my first episode.

    Jon and Beth are amazing. I never thought in 1 million years that I would love a podcast like this. I listen to them every day at work when I can. Their guests are amazing and the best guest they had was the iconic Coral Smith. The fact that they were able to get her on this podcast is killer!!!! I had the opportunity to ask her my question and have a small little conversation with her and I was so starstruck to meet her. She is truly a genuine person, despite of what anyone would think of her. ... more

  • Show is bad

    Please less complaining about not getting a call back Jon and less talk about how much you hate bananas. Beth is great on the pod but Jon just sounds like a bitter old man.

  • What a Dynamic Duo!

    The stories Jon and Beth talk about are fun and heartfelt! Their banter is unmatched! I watched them when The Real World was playing, real time on MTV. Back in those days we had to wait to see what would happen next! The guests they have always surprise me. I’ve learned so much about the guests that I would never have known if it hadn’t been for, Jon and Beth having them as a guest. I highly recommend this podcast, I look forward to each new episode. TRUE STORY!!

  • Jon is not good

    Love the show. Love the idea. Love the guests. Love Beth. But Jon is insufferable. Loves the sound of his own voice. Doesn’t let guests talk. Makes it all about himself. Dial him WAY back.
