Customer Reviews
I agree with Chuck!
I’m a very consistent listener because I love you, Mike, and Chuck and your mom and most of your guests. Mike, I understand that you sincerely believe that “tongues” are flim-flam, but are you certain? There are a lot of things on planet earth that I do not understand and “tongues” is one of them. I do not feel comfortable telling others that what they believe is false. Jesus was kind to the sincere seekers and brutal with hypocrites. And He still is. If it’s in the Bible, I trust it even if I don’t completely understand it. I still love you all. And I pray for you all even though I don’t understand how prayer “works.” I know that God loves you all, too.
I look forward to the episodes with Mike and his mom
I love Mike and his podcast. Chuck is hilarious but I really enjoy the episodes when his mom joins in as well. The three of them it’s just amazing and I am always laughing. I’m a blind mom of three boys ages nine years old, five years old and one years old and sometimes I feel like I’m on house arrest with a bunch of crazy inmates who don’t listen to me and this podcast givesme the boost that I need when it comes on especially when Mike tells the story beyond the story or when his mom comes on even when Chuck and Mike reminisce about things. I’ve started re-watching dirty jobs with my fiancé on occasion and it’s great especially when he describes the episodes to me although frankly Mike the way that you talk it’s wonderful because sometimes I don’t need eyes because I can picture myself there going through all the crazy. I’m glad that you titled your podcast after your book because I loved it. Thank you so much for the wonderful episodes and keep up the great work and the funny. please tell your mom I can’t wait for her book and I hope that she reads it on audible so that I can listen to it. I love when the authors read their own books. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get about your father book on audible and I had to hear someone else read it although it was OK it wasn’t as good as about, my mother or vacuuming in the nude. please don’t get me wrong. Her second book was great. I just know I would’ve loved it more. Had I heard her voice instead of the other narrator that was reading it. I am sitting on pins and needles waiting for her fourth to drop and for more awesome episodes with all of you.
I get 5 stars
5 stars to me for following this show. It’s the best podcast by far of any I follow! Thank you for the guests you feature, for sharing your truly gifted interviewing & conversation style, Mike, for the wonderful topics and invaluable values you highlight. Y’all keep me laughing, loving humans I have never met and championing causes I never knew existed, and frankly hoping in today’s time. Love you, Mike and Chuck (and Peggy)!
