Imagine your two hilarious best friends decided to go hard in the paint for pop culture current events, sometimes inviting your third best friend (who knows next to nothing about pop culture) to weigh in… these dummies keep riffing and sometimes dunking on A to D list celebs and the shows/movies they make… and even when you’re already peeing just a little, they won’t stop with the jokes. Imagine that chaos and delight showing up in your podcast feed every week (or if you’re like me, ad-free 2 or 3 times a week), reminding you that nothing really matters except the things that actually do matter. When the world is on fire and you just need to escape to a quirkily decorated panic room, Knox & Jamie & Erin will be there with the conversational equivalent of Nerf guns full of Kool-Aid to make the world go away for as long as you need them to.

I am a longtime listener and made the switch to the Friends With Benefots level on Patreon as soon as they announced it. And I swear, those episode behind the paywall are my new favorites. The vibes are never protected but always just right. So much goodness.

I used to love this podcast. It was lighthearted, smart and hilarious. Some of the “Nos” episodes are absolute classics. Over time, though, it’s become a lot less fun and more political, critical and condescending. It’s also frequently immature and crude. I canceled my Patreon a few years ago for those reasons but listened to regular episodes occasionally in hopes that the podcast would return to its roots. Unfortunately, I don’t think that will happen and it’s at the point where, as a Christian, I feel like I probably shouldn’t be listening to this podcast. Since I’ve been a Patreon supporter, I know that negative reviews do get mocked and I’m sure this one will, too. I do wish Knox and Jamie the best. They’re smart, hardworking and talented. Sadly, the podcast just isn’t for me anymore.

Cannot recommend this podcast enough, despite the fact that 90% of the time Knox and Jamie name a celebrity I don’t know who they’re talking about. There are so many episodes where I don’t know what they’re talking about. (This is a reflection on me living under a rock not the knowability of their content.) It doesn’t matter, they’re always hilarious. I’d listen to them read the phone book.
