I love listening Dusty & Melissa’s podcast! It’s a comedy, relatable family podcast. You can listen with your children, family and friends. Good clean family entertainment. I know their producer Andy whose wife was a guest on my podcast. I love the comments from their producer too! I absolutely recommend this podcast for the whole family—- even if you want to binge listen!

Dustin, Melissa, and Andy make me laugh every single episode without fail! I love the parenting/life stories from Dustin and Melissa. Even though I’m not a parent yet, I feel like I can relate to so much they talk about on this podcast. Honored to be a Backseater since the beginning of this show! Keep the good times comin!

Melissa said to do it, and I do what Mom tells me to do.

Dustin is hilarious, insightful, and I love when he lets us behind the scenes of his comedy career. Mel is fun, quirky, and charming. They have great chemistry. Andy has been a great addition and adds fun quips completing a the trio. If you’re looking for a fun podcast about family, look no further.

This podcast is seriously so funny and relatable. Got a long road trip, a house full of people you want to tune out, work that you want to avoid doing for another hour…? This is the podcast for you. It really feels like you are just getting coffee with friends. P.S. if you think this is funny Dustin’s standup is hilarious! I can’t recommend this enough!!

I’ve never been able to enjoy podcasts until I came across Dustin and Melissa’s. I truly enjoy the friendly banter and heartwarming honesty and joy you share with us all. Thank you for taking the time to share the good times and not so good times in your lives in such a relatable way.

It will make you laugh for sure, but the best part about Dustin and Melissa is how honest and vulnerable they are about family life. Also as a career youth pastor, Dustin’s “open your bible” jokes will forever be my favorite.

Love listening to you guys as I drive to and from work . ( About an hour of traveling each way.) Being a new mom can be stressful but spending my me time in the car with you guys makes me feel less alone in this crazy role we play called parenting. You guys are funny , down to earth ,and real. You keep mentioning North Carolina being the best and as a Transplant from Boston living in NC , I can see why. But up north we’re Wicked Smaht . Keep up the good work. Signing out from the ole North Cackalacky , -Julia Terry Ps : not the “bark technologies “ jingle you guys made up stuck in my head all day every day 🤣

I just love listening to Dustin and Melissa (the best laugh ever, btw!) laugh and laughing with them has been very healing for me, as honestly it’s been a very hard year. You all are a blessing to me!

Mel told me to do it

Found Dustin on Instagram and love this show. He and Mel are fun to listen to and I love to hear them in the car. I feel like I’ve become a better parent thanks to their hilarious sound advice and also love hearing about life on the road. Hope to see him love the next time he’s in town. Also love that they have an affinity for coffee like me. Great show.

Dustin’s funny, Melissa’s funny, Andy is a great addition, and the earlier episodes are great with Steven as producer. Become a backwater and listen!

Marriage and parenting can be so heavy. Popping this podcast in my ears has become a break I look forward to every week! I always laugh and I always feel like I can make it one more day dealing with ludicrous kids after I hear Dustin and Mel laugh about their own parenting woes. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us who are in the trenches! - from a millennial mom, ministry wife, and fellow renter

Dustin and Melissa are fun companions for any long walk, road trip, or simple sit on your couch. Silly and authentic, they are truly relatable and entertaining for all ages. Their conversations are honest and fun and a great example of a beautiful marriage and family. They also genuinely care about their fans and cultivating a community, which is pretty dope. This pod is a great example of how great comedy doesn’t have to be crude - definitely would recommend a listen!

Found Dustin and Mel when they were guests on another podcast and have been listening ever since!! Love the humor that comes with real life… saw him open for Taylor and my group immediately bought tickets for his next closest show because we all wanted more!!!!

This show is good and funny. I recommend it. If I had to give it a star rating, and I do, I would give it 5 stars.

I don’t stop laughing and since I really do love the podcast, I am leaving a review like Dustin told us too.

I started listening during COVID, loved it so much I went back and listened to all of the previous episodes. I still listen every week! Love Dustin and Melissa!

This is my shame review. You have beat on the guilt and embarrassment that resides in me to write this review. Love the podcast and you will too if you give it a listen. Dustin and Melissa are fantastic and hilarious. I end up sending my wife snippets from each episode because everything is beyond relatable to this middle-aged, 2 kid, NW white dude. Cheers to you Nickerson’s and Andy. Ok now stop shaming us to write reviews. :)

Dustin did not shame me into leaving this review! I’m writing on my own volition. ;) Appreciate Dustin & Melissa for their insights & willingness to share life with us! This is a favorite listen each week. You can only listen to a comedy special a certain number of times but it’s a joy to listen to Dustin’s new thoughts each week! #PNWlove

Just started listening to episode 266 where Dustin shamed us for listening but not leaving a review. So here I am to leave a review! 😂 Love love this podcast! I found Dustin from Kev on Stage’s Keep Your Distance Comedy show and have been following his career + content ever since! I’m a black female millennial and Dustin is now in my top 10 favorite comedians 😊!

I’ve been listening since seeing Dustin open for the sassy jacket funny lady (TT 😉) in Philly. I love The Nickersons outlook on parenting. I’m always laughing at similar situation we’ve shared on this parenting journey of raising kiddos. Melissa’s laugh is the best! I wish I could’ve waited after the show to meet Dustin, next time!! Keep up with the good stuff!!

Love that I feel like I’m in the room with y’all! Mel and I may be the same person. I like me so she might be my favorite. 💃🏾 everyone listen. You’ll feel lighter and happier for it!

I recently saw Dustin open for Taylor Tomlinson and have been checking out a bunch of his material since then. This podcast is hilarious and the perfect listen when you want something fun and lighthearted. Even though I don’t have or want kids, I enjoy listening to Dustin and Melissa’s misadventures in parenting - though the topics they cover are much more wide-ranging than just family content. Highly recommend!

I have been listening for years and love the podcast so much! You guys are hilarious. Love hearing about your life and family.

I’m an avid listener of this podcast and was recently on a mission trip. Thanks for giving me something familiar to listen and laugh with. I always appreciate Mel’s hot takes and Dustin’s comedy corner 😀

I’ve been listening Dustin and Melissa tell jokes since we were youth leaders together, during those golden years that we old-timers refer to as the 2000’s. Somehow we have stayed in touch after all these years! Even though my wife and I have moved 13 times and live in the Midwest now, we love being able to connected to the Nickersons through this podcast.

Dustin and Mel are great together. Love the show and proud to say I have listened to every episode. I laugh out loud every episode

Love this podcast-hilarious, so relatable and something I look forward to listening to every week. Honestly, if you can’t find yourself laughing along with Dustin and Mel are you must be dead inside. If you enjoy this as much as I do grab their book or check out the audio for “How to be Married (to Melissa).” Looking forward to catching the live show in Nashville this weekend!

I look forward to this podcast drop each week. I enjoyed this podcast before kids, and now having a toddler it helps me laugh about the challenges ahead as well! Thank you for your consistency and originality!

I may be late on the review game, but for real, what elder millennial/xennial wouldn’t rate this weekly piece of gold with all 5 of those stars? Back seaters, we ride at dawn! What will we do when we get there? The most intense mom/dad face we can muster.

Listen to this podcast if you want to brag to your friends about how smart you are because you’re a podcast listener, and podcasts are the new books.

One of my few favorite podcasts out there! Listening to Dustin and Mel is a breath of fresh air! Their funny banters and opinions on life is so refreshing. I find myself relating to so much that they talk about even without having kids myself. I got my husband hooked as well. We’ve also seen Dustin live 2 times (going to the Asheville show in a week)!! Always a great time. Thanks for the laughs!!

Fav podcast rn! It’s so fun and cheerful, kinda insightful too (More than kinda haha lol)

But! The show is so fun; feels like friends in my living room recapping their day in the funniest way. Relatable for parents and non-parents. And I’ve gotten to see Dustin on the road and he was awesome! Keep up the good work and thanks for coming along on my Wednesdays.

Love the pod! I listen on road trips and feel like ya’ll come along. Sorry I never left a rating before! I’m one of the secret listeners… guess we’re public now.

Awesome clean family fun every week. Great podcast with a super funny comedian. Come for the podcast, stay for the live shows. Find out when Dustin is coming to your city and go see him. It’s a fun night and he signed my book afterwards too. Enjoy the podcast.

I am taking my relationship with this podcast to the next level and going public. “Don’t make me come back there” and I have been together for the better part of the last year. I have loved every minute of our time together, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us! Dustin & Mel, you are the podcast to my grocery run, the essential oils to my basic white mom, and the front-seaters to this beyond grateful Back-seater. Cheers to us!

Melissa said it didn’t have to be funny 😜

This has been my favorite podcast all year! Thanks for answering my question on the show!

Very relatable. Funny takes on family life.

It didn’t have to be funny. Luckily, this podcast is funny.

This is our favorite show. We look forward to this being released every week!

Desperate for something to laugh about, I searched for “top 10 funny parenting podcasts” and came across this one. I downloaded — and deleted — the others but this one was a keeper. I have been bingeing Dustin and Melissa for two weeks now, listened to the book, and can’t get enough. So relevant, so real, so right. Thank you for everything.

I don’t know why I haven’t left a review for this podcast yet. This is one of my favorite podcasts and I look forward to it every week. I have followed Dustin’s comedy for a few years and love the glimpse (not in a creepy way) into his everyday life with his lovely wife Melissa and his three kiddos. Dustin will make you laugh as well as Melissa, she’s hilarious! I give this podcast 5/5 Bingo Dingos! Listen to the podcast, it will make sense.

That’s just the title of the episode, and I’m already laughing out loud, by myself. Haha! Dustin and Melissa are always relatable, always themselves, and always funny. Never disappointed with this podcast!

Dustin and Melissa are so fun and entertaining. This is a really pleasant podcast to listen to and I look forward to it each week!

I’ve never written a review for a podcast. I recently discovered Taylor Tomlinson on TikTok and heard her talk about working with Dustin so of course I went to find him and check out his comedy. Then somehow I stumbled across this podcast and I’m hooked. I feel like I’m talking with my own friends while listening to him and Melissa talk. They are both so real and I love how they interact with each other and laugh. Not being weird but reminds me of myself and my husband, lol. Absolutely love this podcast! Looking forward to listening more!

Don’t Make Me Come Back There is one of my favorite podcasts, and I look forward to it showing up in my feed each Wednesday. Dustin and Melissa’s banter is so relatable and reminds me of the conversations I have with my husband, especially when we’re discussing our kids. With a teenager and three kids 5 and under in the house (can we say poor planning? JK, blended family), we are clearly in survival mode over here. This podcast reminds us that misery does indeed love company.

The female comedian is entertaining. The mustache guy…not interesting.
