    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!
  • rockypandora
    More please
    I love this pod, but the pinnacle for me is when Bridger and Zach Noe Taylor get together. Pure happiness.
  • sunnysweetheart
    The best!
    Best show ever! I could listen to you two for hours. You two have to colab on something soon. Just terrific. 😃💕

    I totally remember seeing John Tesh eating water cereal… my favorite podcast… best part of my week…. Sonically anyway;) Thank you, I love you Goodbye
  • shellyk25
    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!
  • knxumalo
    So fun!
    Stressed? Sad? Bridger is the antidote.
  • HoHoHopefully
    Gift or a curse?
    100% gift
  • :)P
    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.
  • Listener 3027
    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.
  • no-names-availible33785036
    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.
  • khliguyviuyoi
    The greatest
    ..podcast. Adore Bridger and his backyard However, get back to the backyard! This is not an inside show
  • MargoThomas
    Perfect, perfect
    The sweetest, funniest, wildest podcast in all the land. A gem and a jewel and a dearly beloved companion to my days.
  • PecosBill1111
    Bridger
    Hilarious! Thank you
  • mangiasour
    Why?
    Really really boring.
  • cmdm
    bridger is funny, charming & fit…
    and he really listens...i adore him...that’s my review…if you don’t like it, i don’t care…
  • Gus Margaret
    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.
  • banboozeler
    Definitely a gift!
    I love this podcast! So fun and it makes me happy. Thanks Bridger! Love from a fellow Utahn
  • Bodhi65
    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.
  • Miawokaeve
    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.
  • 💕brener
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    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.
  • ¿**Reviewer**?
    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!
  • irismagpie
    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.
  • MsMysz
    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.
  • Hannahyourbiggestfan
    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!
  • 808needisaymore
    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
  • Ktwater
    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!
  • Riley’s mom mom
    Pod
    Bridger and Jimmy should do the podcast together all the time! They were a blast❤️❤️
  • Keeks4evr
    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.
  • VB555!
    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.”
  • Lucille#3
    Classy
    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?
  • Demandao
    Love this show!
    Delightful and funny every episode.
  • 801punx
    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!
  • theamazingcareyb
    Gift or a Curse: ISNG

  • NiTree

    So great… so funny, kind and smart! Bridger is the best and the guests always so great. This pod helps me unwind most nights or stay calm in LA traffic.

    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.
  • LoLo_13!
    Cookies!
    Petition for Bridger to make public his cookie guide to NYC 🙏🏻🙏🏻
  • Waghappy
    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.
  • Katwrenmadsu
    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
