    It rocks!
    Really good vibe. Guests tell cool stories and then improvise hilarious scenes.

    My favorite pod
    You feel like you're just chillin' with some very funny people. The talk is expansive and human. The improv that follows is formatted and executed well. I had some people wondering why I was driving around alone, laughing without restraint. Good stuff

    Get Josh and Jake a Money
    "It's great." - Apple's 5-star review text. These two genuine friends throw mad 'bows in a comedic mosh pit, hosting all different breeds and brands of improv boobs. No matter how healthy I am when I jump in, I always come away with a bloody nose. The Meat is "great," but what really juices my jowls is the sidekick podcast I get as a PATREON SUBSCRIBER. YOU don't get it because YOU don't SUBSCRIBE on PATREON you IDIOT! This Patreon sister-cast, "The Potatoes," is essentially an elongated lesson wrap-up you'd get in an actual class with these guys. I hate to tell you this, because I like having more than you, but it's only $5 a month for these supplemental educational materials. If you really want to improve at improv, you'd be stupid not to become a patron. It's also fun that they both have high-pitched giggles.

    the MEEEAT review
    Doin what you love is the greatest thing ever. Every week Josh and Jake provide a window into them doin what they love and I’m a grateful listener. 🙏 That’s right, a new episode every dang week. That means I listen to more meat than I eat.

    I guess if you like funny things, this will do
    I came to this podcast because I was really hoping for hours on hours of meat-filled content, but literally all they talk about is everything but?? They never talk about meat, you guys. Everything is just hilarious improv or fun stories?? I think they’ve touched on everything from dead pets to porn stars, but literally nothing about ground beef. So I guess if you like funny things, this will do. I mean. It's really, really forkin funny. Like wear a diaper, just to be safe. But if you’re looking for a podcast about meat, move along.

    All of the LOLs
    Some of the best improvisers in the goddamn world having a jolly good time. I don’t know how anyone could listen and not continually laugh out loud! Love this show.
  • Simskihe
    This rules
    The Meat rules, I recommend it to all my friends. Sometimes the music deafens me or shocks people on the subway because they can hear it through my earphones, but it’s worth it.

    Happy subscriber
    I am not sure how I stumbled upon this podcast over a year ago but I am so happy I did. I used to do 3 hour long drives for work and would binge these great stories and improv scenes. This podcast has become a part of my weekly routine. I never realized how much entertainment could come from listening only Improv. Original and amazing podcasts every time! Love The Meat!

    Hilarious!!!
    This is an amazing podcast for anyone who loves to laugh. Period! Josh is one of the funniest improvisors I have seen perform at UCB LA, always has me on the floor. Now that I live in San Francisco, and can't get to the UCB theater that often, I love having this podcast to keep me laughing! HIGHLY recommend.

    This is a great concept for a podcast, and the hosts execute it well! It's a huge testament to their talent that I can laugh to the point of crying at spoken improv. Thanks for a fun podcast!

  • Mely1018
    The best thing I've listened to in a long time.
    I'm obsessed. With the stories. With the improv. With the number of times Jake becomes a character named "Dale". You'll love it too.

    Get ready to laugh til you cry
    The stories are incredible (I'm looking at you Mary Sasson!!), gross and moving, and the scenes based off of them are hilarious. I've listened to the epidsode with Paul Welsh twice and most certainly will twice more at least.
