“I’ve been hearing ads for this one for years and finally gave it a shot. It took a while to build up to making me laugh, but so did MBMBAM. Jo is an absolute firecracker. I want to punch everyone (including Manolo) for all the sabotage, but the sad fact is that Jo is as funny as Basil Fawlty when they’re losing their minds, without the vicarious anxiety and embarrassment. Anyone who can make an abrupt “Goodbye” funny and not rude, and also make “No, thank you,” “No, you thank you,” “No, you have a nice day” all come off like the most visceral middle finger *on a podcast* deserves a lot more credit. Manolo is possibly human weed. I’m not sure what’s happening there. He’s as much a trigger as a teddy bear for Jo. I am less than 40 episodes in, but I am looking forward to the return of the theme song and Jo humming along. I’m very glad Jesse Thorn gave this show a home, and I hope they’re able to do guests again someday. There have been some great moments when you hear people physically break as everything falls apart. Jo, you’re the best.”
