Love these guys and the show. It’s probably just me, but the sound levels are problematic. I’ll be listening and then Daniel’s voice will trail off at end of comments, I’ll increase volume to hear him…then Rory comes in louder and just about makes my ears bleed. Will probably not listen as often...Read full review »

What a delight. I’m gonna start doing stand up again. Or get back to it because of these 2 can….UNTRUE. I’m super inspired by the way the gents incorporate their good hearts and kindness into their art. Their friendship is inspiring and the ability to monetize their art is RIGHTEOUS. THANK YOU...Read full review »

I am so grateful for finding this podcast. Every episode is thoughtful. A few have cracked me wide open. I love it when a letter is related to something I am going though in that very moment and it helps me make sense of things. I call that a lucky penny. Thanks for everything. Xoxo

I find myself telling the dog “Llleeeeettsss…go for a walk!” There is no chance you won’t find something to relate to with these 2 cackling idiots (and sometimes guests) Like when Rory said he ate graham crackers smushed up for cereal as a kid…so did I! I’ve got tickets to see each of them when...Read full review »

A lot of fun. Beware the theme song however. A serious ear worm though very pleasant

I am so into hearing these lovely men caroming from abjectly silly goofball topics to deeply profound explorations of the human condition to intensely detailed spirals into their desire or disdain for any food or drink that a pen pal mentions. They are sincere, funny, and compassionate. Every...Read full review »

1 part proud aunt 2 parts 12 year-old boys delirious from sleep deprivation during a treehouse sleepover 1/4 part crotchety grandpa who started ranting on politics after his bedtime hot toddy 4 parts compassionate advice 👌👌👌Perfection.

So the other day I was listening to Pete Holmes’ pod and Rory was his guest. Great ep! When I saw this pod while searching for new stuff, I recognized his name and decided to check it out. Y’all… it has been delightful. It’s unapologetically silly and sincere. And the guests have been great....Read full review »

I’m trying to bring more humor into my life and Daniel and Rory (in that order) do just that! Silly podcast with lots of side stories and chit chat but that’s EXACTLY what I want. It’s like hanging out with your buddies. Plus Daniel has a soothing voice. Found this pod from Dumb People Town which...Read full review »

I’m a long time penny, just getting back into this show after a multi year hiatus. I was having a rough day and need to listen to something that would make me smile. Upon pressing play, I quickly remembered why I love Dan and Ror so much. I love their jokes but also their open hearts and hearing...Read full review »

I love podcasts where the hosts just talk about hilarious nonsense and Pen Pals is my new favorite. Rory and Daniel genuinely care about the issues in the letters that people write and make honest and human connections with their comments/advice. I love their example of non-toxic masculinity.
debo15 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/23
I still give it five stars even though it’s extremely questionable that Lissa doesn’t like pasta or pizza….
Melindamlumenthal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/23
This may be the I single greatest episode of all time. Hope Daniel is feeling better, ham salad rocks.
kmhuddle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/23
Two genuine good guys who know confidently who they are, a modern updated moral compasses that create a safe place to ask those weird questions you’ve always wondered about but you’re too nervous to ask anyone else. To share your troubles and triumphs, to in turn get a honest feedback, direction,...Read full review »

This podcast is hilarious! I frequently find myself laughing aloud along with it. Great listening for doing chores and driving around.
Sir Custard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
I started this podcast mere days ago and have already listened to 25 episodes - oops! These guys are wildly funny friends
Christyyy C via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/24/23
I just got into this podcast and I'm starting from the beginning! It's so much fun, I laugh out loud with my headphones on like a maniac. Rory and Daniel are both hilarious, but they are also truly caring and sweet and really thoughtful about their impact in those who write in. I'm...Read full review »

I really like this podcast! I think Michael Keaton would have a good time doing this show, and I’d love to hear him tackle the letters.

Hi Guys, I love your podcast. I am a Penny trying to be a Paller. I just finished 2019 #cuntygrandma. You both sounded so hopeful for 2020 on your Christmas episode. I guess I’ll find out how it went for you. #growtheshow. Thanks for the laughs, Rojopo

These guys are good
glacialErratic via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/22
You will laugh, you will cry, you will laugh cry. The boys do such a great job merging humor and genuine conversations. That plus the chemistry of the hosts together makes this the show I look forward to the most every week. Do yourself a favor and start from the beginning and enjoy the ride.
Bryanelston via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/21/22
These guys have mastered being sincere while still being absolutely hilarious. Talented comedians who don’t take themselves too seriously when they don’t have to and are so much fun to listen to.

A great show, possibly the best show ever......... would be better with Michael Keaton. 5 Stars
Hugefedora94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/22
Topics are usually light and voices are so chill. It’s like the calm app but for free. Two thumbs up!
fishcrackers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/22
I listen to these two goofs and laugh out loud a lot! Thank you!!
nifervinck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/24/22
Just a penny chiming in that I really enjoy this show and the theme song gets stuck in my head for hours after hearing it. stop reading my review and start listening to pen pals
hogman420 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/22
Absolutely love the pod. No other two cackling idiots I’d rather listen to!! Thank you!
nellbell23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/22
These two cackling idiots are amazing, genuine, and honest. Listening to this podcast is relaxing and also insightful. 10/10 would recommend

A veritable cornucopia of heartfelt conversation and earnest discussion blended to perfection with nostalgia and silliness. Very Funny, Very Genuine. CONTENT WARNING: Occasional Accents and Frequent Singing.
JustGoo via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/22
I love these two gentlemen together. I love them individually. But also, not apart. This podcast is consistently OUTSTANDING. Hysterical and heart warming. A difficult balance to accomplish.
Sully.NewYork via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/18/22
boy do i love this pod. the only thing i don’t like is that sometimes they yell at chad which seems unwarranted… anyway, chad probably deserves it who knows. i wish you well
chad shmeshmard via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/17/22
This has brought new life to my world since the Crabfeast ended. Two classic CF guests came together and created a beautiful, hilarious podcast. I laugh out loud every episode and usually come away with an overall happy feeling. Love this show and I love DVK and Rory.

I heard about this podcast when one of my other fave podcasters Hannah Berner was a guest on their show and I’ve been listening ever since.
