  • So funny and precious.

    I love them! The only complaint is that the ads lately have been ughhhh. I do not want to hear an ad from the financial guys. Get out of here. I know the podcast hosts didn't approve it!

  • Not your average Comedy podcast

    I love that this podcast has a completely different format from most popular comedy podcasts. While it can sometimes feel like the same celebrities are making the rounds doing the same bits, How Did We Get Weird takes things in a refreshingly fun and unexpected direction. The guests are wonderfully diverse, and the interviews always feel original. I also really appreciate how fun and kind the Bayers are—they genuinely make me want to be more like them.

  • Great pod! Really bad episode

    I always enjoy Kyle Mooney- except this time. Had this been a visual interview, it may have stuck the landing. Unfortunately, it all just came off as a junior high student doing bits from SNL on Monday morning. Love you , Vanessa and Jonah! Love you, too , Kyle, but that was bad.
