    Poor taste
    Not sure who’s rating this at five stars; very dry, not remotely funny and is also unbalanced.
  • SleepyTankGirl
    Refreshing, engaging, fun, and funny!
    After inundating myself with serious news and self-improvement podcasts all week, this is like a fizzy, cool and super-delicious lemonade on a hot day. Yum.

    I NEED MORE EPISODES!!!!!
    Please bring back this show! I love the global perspective. It’s like having brunch with buddies but we’re each on a different corner of the earth. Intimate and expansive at the same time.

    I need another season!!!
    I’m a major news junkie, and anyone who consumes a lot of news knows that it often can leave us feeling pessimistic about the whole of humanity. Sometimes I just want to tune out even though I know how important it is to be an informed global citizen. And then along came this podcast... it is the perfect note to end on after you’ve suffered through all of your regular news podcasts and just want to laugh. The hosts and their guests are refreshing and the comedy here ranges from biting insightful zingers about the absurdity of world events to the corniest dad jokes that you just can’t help but get a kick out of. I also greatly appreciate this podcast as an American. Unfortunately we in my country tend to get puffed up with our sense of self importance to the point where we ignore the fact that we aren’t the only people in the world and that our concerns and controversies are outright ridiculous to those outside looking in. Hearing foreign comedians rag on us is often exactly what I think we Americans can use more of because we definitely take ourselves too seriously, often to our detriment and to that of the world we live in. Y’all please keep producing this podcast and continue cutting us down to size. We could use a lot more funny rebuking after all the nonsense we pulled these last four years as a country and to keep us on the straight and narrow.

    If the United Nations met at IHOP
    Sadly refreshing to hear that the rest of the world is as crazy as we are, except Scandinavia of course. The hosts whip up the perfect mix of diversity and dad jokes.

    Perfect Best Ever Yes This One
    This podcast has been on the shortlist of things bringing me joy in 2020. Eman, Jess, and their guests are exactly the voices I want to be hearing from right now. Much preferred to the Jimmys of Late Night.

    The worst “show” possibly ever
    You are not funny AT ALL. The schtick is beyond lame and you try so very hard to make it funny with your buzzy idiotic sound effects while SCREAMING into the mic. Stick with your niche podcasts and stay off the airwaves — as a treat for the rest of us who value actual news and humorous content.

    A great way to end my week
    This plays on Sunday morning for me just as I’m finishing up my week. It’s fantastic to end the week laughing. Thank you and keep them coming!

    Jess and Eman are the Best
    This is like an International Wait Wait Don’t Tell me. Hosted by two hilarious Canadian Comedians. Give it a listen!
