    My heart is broken… say it ain’t so.
    I have never written a review for a podcast, but learning today that JTG is sunsetting has me as broken as I would be if a friend had passed away. I know it’s not about me, but my spirit animal will miss JTG and the friendship I have felt for you both. Wishing you both, and Lindsey, the absolute best. I can’t wait to catch up with you. ❤️❤️❤️

    A must listen for a good time
    Absolutely loving this podcast. Each episode has me rolling with laughter and thoroughly enjoying the various history lessons I am receiving. Hosts are hilarious, love hearing all the laughter. I was looking for a podcast to help me during high anxiety times and this one had greatly helped! Love from a non-crazy Floridian.

  • Vickie Marlene
    Hugs and kisses. xoxo
    I love this podcast!! I love the commentary, i love the laughter, i love the stories. I live in the US and who cares if there are some inaccuracies? (Which I never know, because I don’t care) This is an entertainment podcast. If you don’t like it, “chimmi chonga” right on outta here! Stop being so offended, for the love of all that’s good. Jacob and Rosie, you are my people and i need more of you in my life! Keep up the great work! Rosie, take care girlfriend! Can’t wait to hear your laughter on the regular!!!

    Shame on you
    This episode about “Mormons”, which if you knew even the gist about them you would know is an offensive term, is highly offensive to all people of faith. Especially when you link the entire church to QAnon in the first two minutes of your show. Are you talking about Jews next and the “crazy” things they believe? No. Of course not. But anyone of faith believes things that can’t be “proven” because that’s what faith is. Why didn’t you link the church’s website to your show? Why didn’t you have someone who is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ on your show? Or have the missionaries talk with you or come on the show? Why didn’t you do any research about the church from the actual church? The show was almost an hour and a half long. You had time. Shame on you. Bad journalism. Bad podcast.

    Too many inaccuracies
    I used to love this podcast but they’ve done so many episodes on things I know about/am an expert on and they’re riddled with inaccuracies. Any time they talk about the United States they share so many opinions and make tons of commentary that’s just plain wrong, and how would they even know what it’s like to live here? They don’t even live here. The Mormons episode was particularly offensive. Riddled with falsities and salacious details that simply aren’t true. They often sacrifice telling the less exciting truth for entertainment at the expense of spreading lies.

    Hard to listen to
    The snort giggling and mind numbing banter takes up a good portion of the show. Can’t get thru a story without screaming laughter. The hosts spend too much time trying to entertain each other with lame jokes triggering loud laughter. Don’t listen with headphones as it’s excruciating.
  • K-Madison
    Favorite show ever
    It’s hilarious and personal and you learn random amazing stuff. What more could you want? I will cry when I’m done bingeing all the old episodes.

    Fun and Informative
    I love this show! The topics are interesting, and I’ve learned so much about pop culture from breaking news I can almost answer pop trivia, haha! As others have said, the two hosts have a great dynamic and are just a pleasure to listen to. I have learned things. Important things: I. I am a geriatric millennial (I spelled this so wrong three times my autocorrect didn’t even know what I meant haha). BUT. I am not cheugy. If anyone wants to learn about these fascinating revelations and more, listen!! The stories -even ones I’m “meh” going into- always turn out to be so interesting. And I finally learned about what Cats is really all about. Thanks Jacob and Rosie. You guys are amazing!

    University isn’t a pyramid scheme
    Just listened to the episode on the US college admissions scandal, which was well done, thorough, and entertaining—until the hosts started in on how useless college is and how professors “contribute nothing” to society. Wow. Does everyone need to go to university? No. Can you thrive without it? Sure. Does any of this mean that professors are Ponzi scheme profiteers? Also no. I can’t believe anybody has to explain this. Not sure I can bring myself to listen again.

    Entertaining but sometimes misinformed
    This has become one of my favorite podcasts. I love the wide range of topics, breaking news, and the chemistry of the Rosie and Jacob. As a citizen of the US, I think they’re a little too opinionated/misinformed at times….
  • AALmom
    Love this!
    One of my favorite weekly podcast! Rosie and Jacob are great!
  • JDZM3
    Where are you guys?
    Come back… Come back… Life is vanilla without you. Best. Podcast. Ever.
  • Soleilmom
    Show
    Love the show, HATE their politics and vax stance. You can’t comply your way out of what your country is doing to you! Wake up! It’s not about your health!
  • cowa2914
    Love!
    I absolutely love this show and it’s one of my favorite podcasts. Thrilled that Rosie is back. I enjoyed Jacob’s solo eps but their banter/friendship dynamic is my favorite part. A few things I’d love for them to cover in the future: Vesna Vulovic, the Andes plane crash survivors (timely because of the popularity of the show Yellowjackets on ShowTime), The Black Dahlia.

    Ditch the doot de doo!
    The content is great.. but I can’t get through the horrible sound effects. I’m getting out of here!
  • Jeaneaux
    Great Chemistry, wonderful stories
    The breaking news stories can go on too long and we always skip the grating song BUT absolutely five stars for this amazing podcast. I love how their genuine friendship comes through and their stories are so well researched and told perfectly. Jacob has the most amazing voice I just want to listen to him nonstop. Literally listened to 18 straight hours on a family road trip and everybody is hooked. Rosie’s GENDER DYNAMICS points are always spot on too. Love these two.

    Mmm...OooOOooh... Oh nooOooo... mmmhmmm...
    The over the top exaggerated noises coming from the hosts, especially Jacob gets irritating & sounds anything but genuine. Eventually all his moans & hums take on a creepy tone being inserted almost over whatever Rosie is saying. It’s almost as if he thinks the period at the end of any & every sentence needs to be heard. Other than that it’s good & subjects covered are interesting.

    Rosie and Jacob Deliver
    Rosie and Jacob have great chemistry and you feel like you are part of the club. Good storytelling and the topics are varied enough so you learn something new each week. Can’t imagine all the work they put in but am very grateful that they do. As an American, I envy the Aussies that can go to their live shows and I hope Rosie and Jacob can come to the States soon!
  • HOOSintheHouse
    Best best best
    Just go listen
  • 3po's old arm.
    Pretty good.
    This show I very fun. Rosie and Jacob have great chemistry and they keep me and each other laughing. It’s not too informative but if you haven’t heard about the subject before they offer a great intro to their topics along with some hilarious tangents and banter. One thing that really bothers me though is just how narcissistic Rosie can be. She mentions calls out the people in her stories all the time but she glosses over her overt selfish ways. Jacob can be just as bad when he enables her antics and even feeds into like he has no mind of his own. I’d rate this show higher but the blatant hypocrisy and righteousness gets very very grating.

    Love
    So great. Thanks for being my new favorite podcast. I can’t get enough.

    Love you guys 🥰
    I am from America, I found your podcast randomly in apple podcasts and now it’s one of my favorite ones ! You guys are so funny and I love hearing about the gist of a bunch of interesting stories from both of you! I also found out i really like the sounds of Australian accents lol 😆
  • Get out of the bubble
    Yes Please
    I love this podcast. You should ask more listeners to “rate and review” you! You need more than a measly 49 reviews.
  • Katie78965
    So good!
    I binged all of the “You’re Wrong About” podcast (which is the best) and I’ve been searching for another podcast that fills the same niche and so far this is the only one that has done it for me. Hilarious, love these two
  • Dickwad22
    I love Rosie
    Funny, cheeky, smart. (Her American accent is spot on.) Jacob is a great foul. Love this duo - and I’m learning a lot too. Keep it up
  • Mexicam Rosie from LA Cali
    So funny
    Rosie makes me laugh. I listen to each episode over and over week after week. Her and Jacob have such a witty funny and intelligent way of telling each story. No one tells a better story! Love them both.

  • eliseylou89
    I adore Rosie!
    Even if I think I know every in-and-out of a story covered on this podcast, I still want to hear Rosie’s take on it! ❤️❤️
  • BrookeF08
    Would almost give 5 stars!
    I’ve listened to a couple episodes and loooooove it. I love getting “just the gist” on historical or controversial public figures that I probably wouldn’t have sought out personally, so I find it very interesting. The only reason I dropped a star is because I wish there was more of the stories “worthy” (my definition, please don’t hate me) of being told, ie less of the bachelor and tv reviews. Other than that I look forward to future episodes!!
