sick as in good, of course. love this show and one i can definitely relate to! if you’re funny, you’ll like it and if you aren’t, you’ll learn from it.

There is no greater podcast than Hello Dysfunction. Bc it’s more than just a “podcast” So many different topics are discussed, and it’s real That’s why so many people connect to the host. When I say community, I mean community! It’s brought so many of us together and made the unseen feel seen! Pat and Crystal have made mental health become normal to so many! Just a suggestion, pick 2/3 of the latest episodes and fast forward to the last 6/7 minutes and listen to the write ins. The writes ins will highlight just how special Pat and Crystal( the hosts) are!

I STAN for Hello Dysfunction! These ladies are the realest, most relatable, uncomfortably honest type of people that exist; and imo, that’s the best kind. I always appreciate their insight, inappropriate humor, humility and unwavering love they show to each other and the community of misfits they have built. Free Palestine! Ceasefire Now! ❤️🇵🇸

Such an honest and well-intentioned podcast! I’ve been hearing for YEARS now and their morality has never shifted. Thank you for having the thickest backbone and standing with our Palestinian comrades!!! May we see their liberation within our lifetime. Also thank you for creating such a safe space.

First off I love you friendship, it reminds me of some of the conversations I have with my friends. I am a 39 year old gay man originally for the Bay Area (SAN FRANCISCO) to be exact now living in Massachusetts (because I decided to get clean off of drugs & alcohol). You guys are amazing. Just the telling of stories brings back to good old days of running a muck as a teenager & young adult in the city streets. Keep up the amazing work. I love you guys ❤️

It’s FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸 TODAY, NOW AND EVERYDAY UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE!! Thank you so much for speaking out against genocide! Your voices uplift so many lives and give us so much hope. Thank you for advocating for those who can’t. Every single day I call my senators and demand a Cease Fire. This podcast gives me hope. I am also voting third party. I have voted democrat my entire life and I cannot vote for blue no matter who if it means funding genocide. I love this podcast. Please don’t ever change. Our HD family & community needs yall ♥️

I’ve been listening for years and I’m so grateful to have stumbled across your podcast. You ladies are the best and I’m so glad to be a part of the HD fam 🩶

My HD girls never disappoint! They are as real as it gets. I want to say I used to be a prude and frown upon women who curse or say B@&$ so much. However- now my perspective has changed, and it’s no big-e lol. Keep it coming g HD!

I am writing a new review because I wanted to share that this podcast is so funny I almost broke my arm at the gym laughing at the end of episode 210. When I thought this show couldn't be any funnier, they released episode 210, which I have listened to about five times and I still cry laughing. I recommend this show to anyone who has a really unconventional sense of humor (im not just saying that to say it, theres things on here that are not for the faint of heart but it is absolutely hysterical.) thank you for being the perfect podcast. Also free Palestine, thank you for speaking on that as well 🇵🇸🇵🇸💖

These ladies keep it real. Tackling the topics of life, the good and the messy. Whenever I need a little pick me up, HD is my go to. I grew up in the Bay Area, and now live out of state. When I’m missing the Bay Area these women bring a little piece of home in the form of their storytelling. Sending blessings and love from way up North.

I can’t tell you how much I love this show; crystal and pat have truly been the soundtrack to my 2023. I’ve probably listened to every episode at least twice, including patreon, and I still can’t get enough of my dysfunctional internet besties. They’re funny and relatable and real; and I hope they never stop sharing their chaotic lives with us <3

Love the podcast. I thought we weren’t supporting Gucci tho?

I have been listening for years and still can’t get enough of them! ❤️🖤

I’ve been listening from the day they’ve started and have put a lot of people on to the show. They’re two strong, consistent forces in the podcast world. Being a P@Lest!n!@n their fair coverage of what is happening is unreal and so brave. Every opinion they have had they have backed up with concrete facts as well as humanity. The first I’ve ever seen to do it on such a platform. When I say consistent I mean this isn’t just for P@Lest!n!@ns but ANY occupied or oppressed group of people. They are consistent across the board fighting for all groups suffering any forms of injustices from LGBTQ, POC, etc. They make these dark times digestible and help their listeners feel seen and loved. They’ve pulled me out of my worst times and continue to do so every week.

I’ve been listening for years and I’m FINALLY leaving a review. This is my favorite podcast hands down. I look forward to it every week. Crystal and Pat could literally talk about anything and I’d be entertained. They just have it! Give them a listen AND a review!

I look forward to the podcast every single week. Its raw, hilarious and real. I feel like I’m personally friends with Crystal & Pat because of their openness, honestly and the stories they tell. If you need a good laugh, and maybe even a cry once in a blue moon this is the podcast for you! Trust me you won’t be disappointed! This podcast is the one I wait for EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK. Hands down BEST podcast on my playlist!

Been following Pata Fria for a long time listened to her other podcast so of course had to tune into this one. The chemistry between her and Crystal is amazing and so genuine. You can tell they’ve been through some things together. Life long friendships ebb and flow and it’s hilarious listening to them recount their experiences from childhood on. I always tell myself I’ll send in one of my many dysfunctional stories for them to read. I put everyone I know on the podcast and strangers too who are bold enough to ask what I’m listening to.

thank you guys so much for everything. this podcast is everything to me and many others. as a 23 year old girl navigating through life on my own, it feels so nice to have you 2 by my side through it all💗 thank you for this show

this podcast is truly a gem. thank you Crystal & Pata Fria for continuing to openly talk about your lives; the good, the bad, and the dysfunction, for this community you have built. everyone who listens is genuinely touched by these women & their show, and we all would be a little more lonely without them. we love you & you have all our support 💜

I am a new listener of Hello Dysfunction. My coworker introduced me and I’ve been hooked from the very first episode. I went back to the beginning because I want to hear where it began. You guys are so awesome, open and honest. I mostly listen on my drive to and from work and before I know it I’m at my destination. I love the laughs and also the serious content discussed.

I subscribed to HD during the pandemic after following Pata Fria for years, the chemistry between Pata Fria and Crystal is so natural and comforting and genuinely hilarious. These women talk about real problems in their lives & don’t always agree with one another BUT just hearing two friends talk through their differences, the problems they face, it’s comforting to know they can talk through anything. These ladies have given me the gift of hope & a sense of belonging through the community they grew, just by being vulnerable enough to record and share it. The community is beautiful but one thing that has made it for me is how hilarious they are together.. I can be in the worst mood and be crying laughing after 2 minutes of HD. The love is genuine, the laughter is pure and the joy they bring is unmatched. Thank you ladies for being there for so many people! I can’t wait to see y’all live! Much love- Lizz

For crystals birthday I decided the best thing I could do is leave a review. So 1) HAPPY BIRTHDAY CRYSTAL!!!!!!!! 2) back to the podcast review these ladies are truly amazing and feel like family. I’ve been listening to the pod for years, and these queens have been the big sister I never had, the best friend I lacked at my loneliest times, and the voices I hear daily to get a good laugh and great advice. GIVE THEM A LISTEN!!!!!!

I’ve been listening since the beginning and cannot recommend enough. ♥️

I’m not super into podcasts because they usually don’t really keep my interest and turn to background noise. I put this one on one day in 2020 expecting the same, but oh my god, I haven’t laughed that hard in a LONG time. I’ve since listened to every episode and replay old ones all the time. It literally feels like you’re sitting on the porch with them just dying laughing about anything and everything with your best friend. The content is so real, and these ladies are about as genuine as they come. They also talk a lot about mental health, and the struggles that come along with it that aren’t really talked about too much. Seriously, give it a try; you’ll never be bored (my fav episode is AIDS staples lol) and you’ll definitely want to join the community that they’ve built through this podcast. Seriously the best; congrats on your well deserved success and can’t wait for the next one! 🫶🏻

I heard y’all say y’all needed more reviews so this is me writing another review. Fr tho, I just wanna hear Crystal say the word “Warsh cloth” at least twice an episode. Thnx!

My absolute favorite podcast !!! it’s hard for me to find a good podcast simply based off voices and it’s easy to listen to these two all day everyday. thanks for building this community xo

Love listening to the show! I never know what to say here, but I’m so glad you guys are still going strong and I get to listen in and crack up with y’all! P.s. Thank you for talking about that new diabetes medicine that people are taking to lose weight because a lot of people don’t understand how it works so I was glad to hear on a huge platform like this 🙏

When i was a kid I was constantly lying about where my mom was, where my dad was, floating thru the bay as my mom floated thru different stros on “cowboy coffee” I felt so alone. So much dysfunction. Little me needed to know kids like Crystal & Patafria existed.. but big me is so happy to have them. This podcast is comforting, but also uncomfortable in a good way and just overall a delight. You’ll laugh, cry.. probably somehow get sick? But you’ll truly find the family you’ve always been looking for. Crystal and Patafria are not only amazing story tellers, both with huge hearts, crystal an animal lover, pat always keeping us from being game goofy. They both keep you up with current events & will always keep you on your toes! start from episode 123 if not from the beginning and you won’t regret it!!

Where would I be with out the show ? If they had a million fans I would be one of them, if they had one fan it would be me. Funny, comforting, relatable I’ve listened for years and listened to every episode at least twice. Wether I’m having a bad day or just need to stimulate my adhd hello dysfunction is always my go to. Ps , I love Pat and Crystal so much but Carolyn really has my heart.

So the first line in the description of this episode is: “Pata Fria is off her meds.” It’s as if this statement was made to plead with us to keep forgiving her incessant harmful, offensive speech. I understand in an ever-changing world, we are all far from perfect, but when you have someone that cares about you, doing their best to teach you in that moment, you don’t double down and reject it. A pejorative term is just that, and because you don’t think it’s wrong or you that group calls themselves that, it’s alright? Apply that logic to the n-word (which you’ve been called out for before). And not to mention the continuation of the r-word, as well, after having apologized for using it.

I honestly feel like I would be lost without this podcast. The realest of the real along with being hilarious & so forthcoming with their real life struggles, accomplishments & just their overall day to day grind. Idk how they do it but their conversations come so organically, it doesn’t sound forced like a lot of other podcasts. Keep thriving! We all love you guys so much

Thank you Crystal & Pata fria for always keeping it 100%. My upbringing was hella dysfunctional, so hearing you two laugh & talk about yours....is the highlight of my week! Haaaaa!! Meat Walls, I’m dying!!!

Hey girls, Pixiee here! I just wanted to write in and remind y’all to keep up this amazing show and give you a 5 star review because y’all deserve more than a million star rating! After hearing everyone write in I finally did it myself and man it does make you fan girl out when you hear your words on your favorite show! Anyways I hope y’all have an amazing week and I can’t wait for another episode! Ps. Thanks crystal for understanding my typo in my write in, yes I meant lash tech!! LOL

Updating my review! I’ve been listening to you two for years now. I was hooked instantly with your real talk and genuine companionship. Its amazing that y’all found each other and became family. I love your crazy stories 💕 keep them coming!

These ladies make their listeners feel like family. All the dysfunctional antics of your families Christmas dinner in an hr show. I started listening during covid while working from home alone. I can’t imagine a world without this show. I hope they never stop. 11/10 would recommend

Most entertaining and relatable podcast around!

I started listening to this podcast after I got high on mushrooms 4 years ago. Super late with the review I know lol. I wasn’t having the best experience and was scrolling on instagram when I saw Pata Fria posting about the podcast. After listening I felt better and less anxious. And I never stopped listening. The funniest ladies and I look forward to the show every week.

love y'all

I literally get excited every time a new episode comes on. Love both my girls!!

This is BY FAR my favorite podcast I have ever found!!! So real, so honest, so entertaining! Thank you so much for your content!

Been listening to these two since I don’t even know when, best podcast, too real, too funny and y’all make everyone feel so good and at home with all of our issues. We all love you and can’t thank you enough for it. 💜💜

I actually started listening to podcasts… and was trying to find podcasts to help me heal.. and somehow I found y’all! Yall actually make my days!! I’m so glad I found y’all! ❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕

I’m so late but I’m happy I’m here. It took me forever to start listening but now I can’t wait until a new episode drops. Love you ladies

I really can not stop listening I thing m really addicted.maybe I can me u one day

There are exclusive interviews on patreon that you wont see here. The negative reviews are lies. Start with the free episodes here and you will soon want more more more. I look forward to every single episode with my aunties. You will quickly realize how relatable and funny these two ladies are and soon forget how horrible you once felt about your own past and current traumas because they truly make it all a laughing matter. From the write in’s to their own personal stories, this podcast will make you go through all the emotions, we have cried together, we’ve felt outraged together and most importantly they have put a huge smile on my face. You wont regret tuning in to this podcast OR the patreon. You will end up telling at least one friend, or a crackhead at the gas station about it. Enjoy <3

Omg! These ladies are so relatable and just incredibly funny! I love looking forward to the new episodes. Definitely don’t try and do your makeup while listening because they’ll have you laughing and crying 😂 been a listener since the podcast first came out and I regret NOTHING!! I will forever try and recruit my friends to listen because why not! They’re great!!

After making it big and finding large success in the podcasting industry, these two small town girls manage to stay down to earth as they inspire listeners by sharing their real life experiences. They keep their finger on the pulse when it comes to current events, bringing their audience breaking stories weekly from pop culture as well as their rich personal lives. These two high-class hosts are still able to empathize with their fans while providing advice to listeners who write in, gentle parenting methods, and bio-hacking guidance. They touch the hearts of all who listen with their lady-like charm, elevated intelligence, and motivational childhood anecdotes. I do not know what kind of man I’d be today if I hadn’t found these ladies when they embarked on the making of Hello Dysfunction. This show will be welcomed if played aloud in office spaces and is appropriate for all ages. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s! -Grey

First off, I had posted another review but it never got posted( bummer cause it was a good one too!maybe because of the cuss words lol) anyway just wanted to let you ladies know how much I love both of you and how you two bring me so much joy while I’m at work! It’s the highlight of my day. I’m a pretty new listener but I feel like I’ve known you both forever! I stumbled on to HD from a YouTube comment of another podcast that had taken a winter break. One of their listeners suggested you ladies and needles to say I never looked back. Lol I listen on my way to work, while I work at home cleaning and just about anytime of the day when I’m not binging a show. I binge the podcast instead lol. I started from the beginning but then jumped up to episode 123 “liver spotted d” I’m all caught up but I’m still going back to listen from the beginning ( I know y’all cringe at that) I have lost count at the amount of times I have laughed soooo hard out loud! Legit to the point of me SLIGHTLY peeing on myself sorry TMI but you see Pat, I too have urethra problems 😅 Crystal you have a heart of gold but guuuuuuurl you nearly kill me when you start talking in uncle jimmys voice and there I go peeing some more. I truly do wanna thank you for all that you do and sharing your dysfunction with all of us. I grew up in a dysfunctional home and this just lets me know I ain’t alone. To potential listeners if you have made it This far in this review, do yourself a favor and go listen now! You will not regret it! Full of laughter, sometimes tears, this show is has a bit of everything! From the story telling to relationship/love advice to mental awareness they do it all. And I look forward to my daily dose of hello dysfunction. Much love from a small town girl Just kidding ! I live in the heart of KTown lol (KoreaTown Los Angeles) definitely NOT a small town lol love you ladies xoxo

I’ve written a review on all the devices in my home! You ladies are my favorite ‼️💞

I’ve missed y’all !!!! Just here to say it’s a great podcast ! And everyone should listen! 💗
