Well, I Laughed

I can’t be the only one that feels so “in it” in these episodes that I am chiming in on the show as if they can hear me. I do not do this on any other pod. I love these two. They are so smart and ridiculous and earnest and create such a safe space to learn - I just can’t get over how much I look forward to our weekly sit downs. I love the long episodes, the inside jokes, the call backs, the personal updates…. And the depth of research they do to make us listeners this incredible and best of the best entertainment. I can’t wait for the day I am listening to This American Life featuring a little tale or spotlight from these two. I know they will make it there. My daughter and I keep a “men will literally _____ before they will go to therapy” shared iPhone note (if you need proof I am real one) that we started just tracking the mentions on the show, and now we add to when we come across a new option for the blank. (And if you all want to bring that back…. I know a couple people who would love it if you did). To those posting reviews that are not 5 stars, complaining about anything on this show, I want you to know “that’s a wild thing that you just said.” I feel so much more like a human post-pandemic thanks to this show. I finish a listen uplifted and feeling social and just ‘better.’ So, I just want to say “Well, I laughed, too” and I can’t thank these two enough for that.

Grant and Maia/Maia and Grant makes this podcast that feels like you’ve been let into their inner circle. History, comedy, interesting stories that are ~funny now~. Every listen is a joy and highlight of my week. So thankful to have come across them. Patreon is worth it too!

Usually a great show. I really dislike the super long episodes. Just break it into more parts! Also does grant have to interrupt every 3 seconds!? Ugh

Pretty light on history and pretty heavy on the hosts humoring each other. I’m sure some would enjoy it; just not me. At least the show title is appropriate.
