Love it

The joy this podcast brings me is hard to put in words. The soothing introduction and then his sneaky snark. Yes. I love Bridger!

More please

I love this pod, but the pinnacle for me is when Bridger and Zach Noe Taylor get together. Pure happiness.

Never not laughing

Seriously, this may be the funniest pod. Also, love when he and the guests get real. Such a joy in my week!

So fun!

Stressed? Sad? Bridger is the antidote.

Gift or a curse?

100% gift

Very very funny podcast

Bridger is beleaguered with rude guests who come bearing *gifts* even when they’ve been expressly forbidden from doing so! He somehow keeps it together despite the egregious breach of etiquette and manages to have an enchanting conversation. He does it every week! After three times, I might have died.

A show that goes the distance

Bridger’s bespoke mix of old Hollywood charm and depression never fails to cheer and inform. Ten out of ten, gotta listen.

Bring Back the Yard

I love this podcast. It’s absolutely amazing and I would recommend it to ANYONE!! Bridger is one of my favorite people in the entire world and I’ve never met him. BUT the podcast is RUINED now that it’s in the studio!! Bring back Bridger’s yard!! It was natural. It was beautiful. It’s been one episode and I miss Bridger’s backyard.

the only podcast that matters

No disrespect to Aimee, but Jimmy singing the theme song at the live show felt like a post shower Q-tip in my ear holes.

Definitely a gift!

Gift or a curse?

Gift. A very welcome gift at that. Plus: now I know the answer to “Brazil nuts—gift or curse?” (Gift!)
Trixie’s Dad

Jimmy Smagula’s bf has a podcast?

Bridger practices patience and models how to have crucial conversations while confronting a parade of charming visitors who bring him gifts. The Darcy Carden and Blair Socci eps are highlights.
DailyDoseofJulia

Truly Hilarious

This is my 2024 summer “listen to its entire backlog” podcast and I couldn’t be happier or more comforted. If you like laughing you will like listening.

Best Episode

I just finished listening to your episode with Johnny Pemberton. Now I’m a new fan of his as well. You both made me smile and laugh through the entire episode. Thank you for that. Huge fan of the show. Please please have him on again with you.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heads up! Consommé jelly is just cold broth- gelatin comes from the bones used making broth. All homemade meat broth turns into jelly when refrigerated. And all jelly contains bones.

Delightful!

Delightful host and podcast all around. Bridger’s voice, sensibility, and word choice are just wonderful.
AddyB!

Love everything about it

So enjoy that this podcast has celebrities on and they just get into the most random topics, instead of promoting new projects or talking about the industry. You really get to just know the guests as people and Bridger is the perfect witty, droll interviewer. I love his humor! So happy to listen to each episode! Thanks Bridger and team!

This is every relationship I’ve ever had

It took me too long to figure out Bridger and Jimmy are literally boyfriends. No wonder they keep snipping at each other- reminds me of how I usually tease people I’m dating. Y’all will be together for 1000 years.

I wish Bridger was my friend so I could call him up to chat

Honestly, this podcast is such a delight. I found it last year and have been working my way through the back catalogue. I’ll be so sad when I’m fully caught up.

Jim!

I’m sorry to disrespect you Bridger but the episode with Jimmy Smagula is one of the funniest yet. The two of you going back and forth, I was crying laughing. I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and I know I will always get a good laugh in. Thank you for all that you do!

I want to be Bridger’s friend

OK Bridger, hear me out… And I got nothing. I am listening to you and Karen Kilgariff try to figure out who JoJo Siwa is after watching one dance video. You are so incredibly close! She did bust out and is living her best life. Thank you for making me laugh every episode. EDIT: Can Jimmy please be a permanent guest. 5 minutes of the two of you bickering…best radio ever!! 💖💖
kmizzzy

One of my favorites!

Let me start by saying that I adore this podcast. Listening to Jimmy Smagula’s episode pushed me over the edge, and I knew I needed to write a review. This episode was… an absolute delight. Listening to the banter between Jimmy and Bridger had me cackling in the car worrying about how crazy I looked to the people next to me in traffic. I absolutely loved the energy of this episode. More Jimmy please!!!
chica from place

Smagula on the show?

My spirits are lifted

MORE JIMMY!!

Every episode is worth a listen and a laugh but JIMMY, the two of you, chefs kiss! More Jimmy days on the pod!

Bridger and Jimmy should do the podcast together all the time! They were a blast❤️❤️

Jim was worth the wait!

Thank you for sharing Jim with the Pod. Laughed so hard I had to park the car of a bit.

Love ya!

Nothing gets me more excited on a Thursday morning than listening to Bridger’s calming voice and wit. As a former Mormon myself, I resonate so much with his takes. I also can’t get enough of hearing him say “Reach Out.”

Classy. Classiest? Not enough, clamegalatious. What a great whit, voice and talent! Always love listening
Sereniteab

Funny

Thursday mornings are spent listening to the newest hilarious episode. Doesn’t matter if you don’t know who the guests are, they are normally really funny and they talk about random topics. I laugh and learn. What else could you ask for?

Love this show!

Delightful and funny every episode.

Perfection.

Bridger’s wit, charm and warm disdain for most things is the perfect combination. Each and every episode is a delight! Thank you for such a brilliant show. We’re lucky to have you.
Amanda Roni

Solid Gold!

Bridger is an amazing conversationalist, eloquent with his words, and absolutely hysterical! This podcast is akin to sitting down with your best friend to a coffee table brunch and spending hours enjoying great conversation and lots of laughs. My favorite part is how verklempt he sounds at the end as he begs us to move on with our days and our lives but is sure to tell us he loves us. Truly, this podcast is a treat! Give it a listen!

Bridger is a gem.

Hands down my favorite podcast. I wish there were more people like Bridger in the world. And I’m so sorry your dog passed, Bridger.

Cookies!

Petition for Bridger to make public his cookie guide to NYC 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love Bridger

Not a show goes by that I don’t laugh out loud and scare the dog. Bridger has a way with a phrase that makes me laugh. Apparently he makes a lot of people laugh. Great podcast total holiday from life.

Your podcast made me think something was wrong with my car

Recording outside? Fabulous idea, lovely Birds, bugs, etc, the sounds of nature. Thinking something is wrong with my car due to these sounds? Perfect gift 10/10, brought some needed stress to my day about a potential financial pit. 5/5 stars this podcast is delightful
