If You Hate Laughing, This Podcast Isn’t For You!

Georgia and Karen from MFM suggested this podcast, and it did not disappoint! I listened to the episode where Georgia was the guest and couldn’t stop laughing. Wonderful job Michelle and Jordan!!

Growing up together

Such a Real funny show. So happy to listen, learn and laugh. Michelle!! Hugs and kisses we would be hosting friends; love all your work. I would recommend this show to everyone!! Get into it…. Jordan is such the white encyclopedia, thank you for normalizing living life with no boundaries….brown people can do it all. Adulting has NO color. Can’t wait till you come to Atlanta or do I need to be an adult and fly to you?

Colorful and Proud

This show celebrates all the freckled or plain-faced, big and little-tittied queens, kings, and in- between across the globe. The best way to describe these guys is; always positive, always real. Thanks for all yall do, say, and are. #TalkingTheTalk&WalkingTheWalk

Miss these 2!

Absolutely love this podcast, happy for Michelle & Jordan moving on to new adventures but will miss their magic on the show together! I have definitely relistened to episodes for serotonin boosts :) Also had the opportunity to see Jordan’s show at the bell house last May & Michelle at Radio City in June. Love love love their styles so much! And DJ Don Will!!

Always a good time

Came here to say that the episode with Black Thought was the funniest thing I’ve listened to in a long time. But I found a draft review from some time ago that might be the last time I laughed this much: Jordan Carlos’ story about an un-housed woman on the subway hitting him on the head with a bag of chicken and attacking him while undressing had me laughing out loud while riding a crowded subway.

Best

This podcast is the best. Michelle and Jordan are absolutely delightful every time. Flawless. Laugh, feel, think. Do it.

Love Michelle but she’s an interrupter

Michelle, please let Jordan finish a story. Just once. Please. It’s a good podcast otherwise though. They’re both funny and I’d love to hear BOTH of their jokes, not just Michelle’s

Makes me so happy!

I’ve told all my friends about you two! You make me laugh out loud in public places while I’m by myself! Aaamazing! I wanted to sincerely laugh more this year so thanks for helping me with that!

Happiness every week!

Jordan and Michelle are a joy to listen to every week! They have incredible guests and insight on living your best adult life 🩷

Always good

This podcast is my go to, my first choice, the one that always makes me feel good. The hosts are smart and cool, and they make me feel like I’m hanging out with friends when I listen. I wish we were friends in real life because I’ve been dying to tell them that there is a glitch in my podcasts app that keeps their podcast thumbnail image showing no matter what podcast I’m listening to. That means when my 9-yr-old is falling asleep to “Koala Moon” it looks like she is listening to Adulting and I have a mini panic attack when I see it every night! 🤣

Long time listener

I started listening to Michelle Buteau after hearing her on Phoebe Robinson’s podcast and I’ve stayed with her since then. She’s so funny and honest and kind all at the same time. Jordan and Michelle have such a perfect synergy together and I just love listening each week to their smart, witty banter and life lessons. Thank you Michelle and Jordan!!

Def had some perspective shifts listening to this show! Can’t wait to see it live someday soon! Thanks to everyone in the team who makes this show entertaining and great! 😁🙏🏼

Funny and insightful

This podcast is the perfect mix of hilarious and insightful. Michelle and Jordan are the perfect hosts and bring on the best people - and then manage to get them into conversations on real things. All while being funny.
bigauddie

They get it!

Living in Amsterdam I love the little gems that Michelle drops about Dutch culture. And being married with kids I find so much in the discussions relatable. And I love the overall openness and acceptance. And of course the fun and good times! What a great hang!

Need two more best friends?

✔️🎉✔️ Michelle and Jordan have hilarious chemistry. Watch Survival of the Thickest. That’s all.

Get over yourself!!

I listened because I am a huge fan of exactly right. However, the female on this really needs to get over herself. I feel like she is not being authentic. It was like one schtick after another and it got really boring quick. Sorry I wanted to love it. I might give it another listen when they are more seasoned
Lattesandtacos

Orgyastic amount of food 😂

It all started with my favorite murder led 2 that’s messed up an SVU podcast which led to survival of the thickest!!!!!!! Now this !!!! I am so thankful 🦋

Grasshopper@~

Funny and thoughtful, love it ^_^

Michelle is soooo great and so quick - love everything she does! And Jordan is so charming and clever and sweet! Love this show and the guests. So thoughtful and entertaining and honest, the commiserate but also help you navigate the exciting/empowering yet tricky and vast waters of adulting.

The FUNNIEST

Burst out loud in public every time I listen. I don’t mean just cracked a smile, and laughed quietly to myself, I mean full on laugh that makes people turn and look. I love it so much. My new favorite thing to say is, “You have ‘I carried a watermelon’ vibes.”
Twontotoke

How could you not ?

Just absolutely love this podcast , it's simply delightful
ToriAprili

Funny, Smart & so so gooood

This podcast is everything! Amazing guests, hilarious and thoughtful commentary. A weekly (sometimes daily) go to for getting me through this adult life. Don’t know how I feel about removing the airhorn, but I’ll get over it!

Obsessed with the hustle and support of all comedians!

My goal in life is to surround myself with friendships like Jordan and Michelle. They have funny banter, but they know how to build each other up. They also acknowledge their guests hustle and show support for them. It’s refreshing and I love waking up to the silliness, with bits of adulting goals. I love how each guest has a very unique focus and shows that everyone adults differently. There is no right way, so we celebrate all growth.

Superstars! ✨

Absolutely enthralled by the dynamic, chemistry, love and jokes that exude in abundance between this beautifully wonderful Leo-Aquarius comedy duo. Conversations come alive here through their mix of passion, humor & heart that makes you feel like a dear friend Anytime, someone asks for a new podcast recommendation, this is top of the list. Thank you for bringing so much joy to my ears 🫶🏻💖 Also would love a whole astrology episode from and about these two!
FFFVT

So real and warm!

I love these two! This show is refreshingly genuine and entertaining. I am interested in what they have to say, I laugh a lot, and I look forward to the next episode. They are well matched friends/hosts and the guests are always great too!
jaseyrae9944

Lovely warm conversations between friends about the chaos of being grown

I am HERE for Jordan’s Obama impressions… and everything else too. This podcast makes me cackle, soothes me at the end of a workday, makes me feel like I’m relaxing by a crackling fire with my glass of vino listening to 2 best friends talk about all the silly and wonderful things about navigating adulthood. Love the listener questions, love the hosts, love it all. Michelle and Jordan, thank you for being you!!!
Lemon and Knope

Don’t ever stop laughing!

Just here to counteract the person who told you not to laugh on the podcast. Never stop laughing I love listening to you laugh and laughing with you.
No nicknames are left for me

Laughs and Sincerity for All!!

One of my all time favorite podcasts. I love Michelle and Jordan’s dynamic and how much they make each other laugh. I love hearing them laugh!
Cris8463

I listen to you at the bar while drinking.

Hope you don't think this is lame. Instead of feeling lonely at a bar, I laugh and am drinking while listening to your conversations. This is so much fun.
Good conversation

Love this Podcast

I listened to the episode with Chris Distefano and Jim Gaffigan. I loved everything about the layout of the podcast to the actual interviews and the content was fire. Thank you for bring joy to my day! Also, I found out about the podcast from instagram.
Khrissyd44

You’re back!

So glad you guys are back! Ready to binge all the new episodes.

Please stop the air horn

I really like the podcast, but I cannot deal with any podcasts that use that air horn noise. It’s not necessary, we are not in a stadium, this is literally in my ears on headphones and it is obnoxious. If you can lose the stupid noise I’ll start listening again.
podcastsplzzz

YAAAS

Literally just saw your Netflix special last night and now I’m binging everything you have. Hilarious, bold, sincere and fabulous. Jordan is great too! Thanks for the laughs and insight.
Melo0123

Favorite Podcast!

I have recommended this podcast to all my friends, they are hilarious and get me through the day at work when I do paperwork.

Tajin on mango

This is the podcast I live for each week. Michelle and Jordan get me laughing out loud and everyone should listen. However today Michelle changed my life permanently for the better when she mentioned Tajin on mango. It is one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten and it triggered me to promptly write a review- which I’ve never done and will likely never do again as I can’t see an impact of this magnitude happening again, via podcast, in my lifetime.

The comedic relief I always need

Michelle and Jordan crack me up and over the years I’ve grown to love them more than I did when I first started listening! Adulting! It’s a thing.
Trisha Capellitti

Love y’all and please don’t let sexual assault jokes stay in the show

This is one of my favorite podcasts but the most recent episode with Wyatt Cenac included a really long and not funny story with the punchline being sexual assault.
ani34509

Best show ever!!!! <3

I looove this show!!!!!
Nxvenka

Funny! Love the banter

I want to frame some of the stuff Michelle says, like: “I want to let go of the kettlebell out the window!” 😂 BTW as another brown girl mom, struggling lifelong with diets, and being married to a Dutch guy, I can relate to a lot of what Michelle says!!
Keishie23

Amazing

I just love this show!!! Did a deep dive from the beginning and what hilarious journey. Bless you!
e85gal

I love this show!

I didn’t realize it came back until recently and now I’m listening to all the episodes I missed. This is my favorite podcast. I laugh so much. We need this. Keep it renewed forever!
