The best

I was crying laughing when Karen told the story about falling 5ft onto a pile of folding chairs before her set 😂

Title song

Do you need a ride song is a masterpiece. I sing it and play mouth horn every time. Thank you both…

fewer ads, please

One of my favorite podcasts, but the sharp increase in ads is super annoying.

Best theme song of all time!

This is one of my go-to podcasts when I'm feeling down, or overwhelmed or just whenever. It relaxes me to listen to these two and my daughter and I sing the theme songs together every time! It's the best theme song of any podcast I've ever heard and I listen to a LOT of podcasts!

Love this show!

Listening to them is like listening to old friends. And happy to hear that Chris has a girlfriend! He’s a catch!

Karen & Chris Unadulterated Adoration

They are simply the best. The guests are always fun, and their one-on-one shows are comedy gold. It’s a regular laugh out loud experience!

I love this ongoing conversation. Sometimes there are other people who join, and that’s great, but I am good with Karen and Chris just yap yap yapping. Two of my favorite people to eavesdrop on. Thanks guys!

I am Chris when it comes to ‘what to grab when you have 20 minutes to get out of your house’ never related more to anything, ever.

5 million stars isn’t enough

The caption says it all. I started listening to this podcast because I ran out of MFM to listen to and love anything and everything Karen. I continue to listen to this podcast over and over again (I know episode 85 by heart) because Karen is still amazeballs and Chris is perf. Also Steven.

It’s called a “spoonerism”

I just started listening to the most recent episode (for more Karen K content) and I love it already. Also I had to come here and tell you that when you switch words like that it’s called a “spoonerism”. I learned that long ago and never forgot. K byeeee. 🖤

I need a ride!

Driving? Working? Doing chores? Need a break from the horrors of the world? Let Karen and Chris take your ears on a hilarious journey and numb your brain in all the best ways. After over a decade of work these two still have fantastic chemistry and satisfy my comedy needs with every episode.

Long time listener first time reviewer

I love listening to Karen and Chris while I do stuff, and my husband is a skateboarder in his 50s so he doesn’t mind listening either 😊 thanks for the laughs and distraction guys!

My comfort podcast

I love them! This is my favorite comfort podcast. Makes me laugh and takes my mind off of things.

Yes, I Do Need a Ride

This is my emotional support podcast. These two are hilarious together and I love them. I particularly love when Karen shields Chris from going through the windshield whenever a nimrod cuts them off in traffic. A fun time for all. My one wish is for them to NEVER have a guest along for the ride…unless it’s Tig 🤩
Funny, easy listening!

Karen and Chris are the best car buddies

Love em! Been listening for years.

10/10

This show is exactly what I didn’t know I needed! Perfect for passing the long hours of a 9-5!

Instant Smile 😁

When Chris mentions Senior Froggies in today’s episode I was transported to my favorite place to get lunch in high school. The a crisp pinto burrito and mexi fries for around 2.50 in the mid eighties. An Inland Empire favorite- (the other Inland Empire in eastern Washington). Love the show- listening for years- Monday is better because I have your podcast to listen to.

Comedy! It’s Funny.

Love Chris and what a perfect pairing with KK. This is the only podcast that actually inspires me to get in my car and drive aimlessly through the mean streets of LA. Bravo.

Perfection

I found this podcast, as a Karen Kilgariff/My Favorite Murder fan. Now, I love Chris too. This podcast perfectly captures the podcast experience of hanging with friends. Great to be a stowaway, riding along and also to be introduced to so many other comedians too! Love to you both!

Endless delight

I became obsessed with this podcast during the pandemic and now I eagerly wait for every new episode to drop. The chemistry Karen and Chris have is amazing and their guests are always entertaining. I laugh loudly and unapologetically as I walk around my neighborhood listening each week.

Besties

I can’t believe I didn’t try DYNAR sooner but it’s been pretty amazing to have years worth of back catalog to catch up on, which I’ve been working my way through over the last few months. I feel like Chris and Karen are two of my pals and my favorite episodes are the ones when they don’t even have a guest.

!!L-O-V-E-I-T!!

Why Is There Not A Ten Star Option?? I’ll Listen To Anything Karen And Georgia A Part Of.. I May Not Be A Fan If The Politics Being A Conservative In California.. Yes We Do Exist.. LOL.. But This Sh— Is Hilarious

Long-time listener 🚙

I’ve been a DYNAR listener for so many years. Karen & Chris are hilarious and they continue to make me laugh so hard that I cry on my drive to work. Mondays aren’t so bad, thanks to these two 💙
QueenBee0257

So funny!

I enjoy all the banter, with or without guests. I can count on this podcast to make me laugh, it’s a go to for some mood lifting!!
SingleWithPizza

I just want to take Chris on a date so badly

Karen and Chris are both so hilarious, I love their laughs and how they riff off each other organically. They truly are my favorite duo to listen to (no offense to Georgia). They keep me laughing and entertained no matter what. Honestly it’s my favorite podcast because they don’t talk about anything too heavy and they keep the mood just right. If you’re ever too stoned and feeling paranoid I recommend turning on DYNAR because they will change your entire mood and calm your thoughts. I swear it works, I’ve tested this theory several times, lol. If you don’t listen to DYNAR you’re probably a bad person — so give them a listen! Don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review! <3

Hilarious Podcast

I originally learned about this podcast from listening to Karen’s other podcast, My Favorite Murder. This podcast never fails to make me laugh. It’s two hilarious friends being attacked by men on bikes with chains. If an MFM episode (wonderful but sad at times) or life brings you down… Karen and Chris are here to bring you joy.

Best pod ever (amongst others lol)

I’m writing a review. Y’all are great - now stop telling me what to do. Take a listen. Promise you won’t regret. If you do, carry on 🫶

Do you need a ride?

One of the best, funniest podcasts out there. Karen and Chris keep me laughing through every episode!

Fav Pod since 2016

I listen to A LOT of podcasts and this one has been my absolute favorite since 2016. Karen and Chris have the best banter, I’m obsessed with their friendship and wish I was a part of it lol Can’t recommend this pod or any art made by these two enough!

A fun, easy listen

Started listening to this because of Karen, stayed because of Chris. The riffing these two do is hilarious, and the guests are so fun.

This is for poor little Chris with soot on his face

I love Do You Need a Ride. Mondays are worth looking forward to because a new episode will be out. Whether it’s Karen and Chris riffing in the car for an hour or they’re joined by a guest comedian, you can count on some belly laughs from this show. Fantastic, give me 14 of em!
@thessamloe

The Best!!

I am now addicted to this podcast and look forward to listening to it every week because of the delightful banter between Chris and Karen. It truly is therapy…… I laugh out loud almost to the point of cry laughing many times, and it’s especially fun while driving around where I live in LA because I can relate to their LA traffic journeys and references. This show is the best!
mrs.knightterror

Love!

I absolutely love hearing about Chris skating at Costco, and his adventures. Also, I will listen to Karen speak all day. Karen voice is my favorite podcast voice. Absolutely hilarious and fun.
