    Guests
    I love your podcasts and I really enjoy your videos, but I don’t like the people you interview. It really changes your podcast. I haven’t listened in so long because I’m not interested in the guests. I hope you switch things up.
  • zombiereck12
    MORE ADS!!
    Used to love the pod and don’t get me wrong i still support Joe on other platforms but there are so many ads back to back it makes the pod not enjoyable. Miss the Ilya era #Bringbackfunfacts
  • lindsssyy
    Love the DWTS Series
    Really enjoying the DWTS Series. Deducting a star because the ads keep cutting guests off mid sentence and are twice as loud as the pod audio.
  • Jaime Marks Acu
    Val pod
    Love the pod Joe! Back after taking a hiatus from dancing with stars this season. Your pod is amazing getting to know the stars and the celebrities. Loved hearing about Val. Got to know more about Maks on so you think you can dance. You are able to pull the vulnerability and human nature of these pros. Bravo keep killing it !
  • Danitza Cas
    Decent
    Good podcast but the ads in the middle of someone’s sentence is so annoying. The ads audio is also twice as loud as the podcast audio 😩
  • Mindy23l
    Really enjoy
    I have been really enjoying this podcast. I just wish the ads didn’t come in the middle of someone talking.
  • Jasmine2274
    Fantastic Insight into the World of DWTS!
    This podcast is both incredibly informative and entertaining, offering a unique look into Dancing with the Stars through engaging conversations with cast members and celebrities. The questions are thoughtful, and the insights into the dance world and show dynamics are truly fascinating. It’s a wonderful showcase of the camaraderie, commitment, and mutual trust within the DWTS team. Joe does an excellent job setting a tone of positivity, making this a must-listen for fans of the show and dance enthusiasts alike. Highly recommend!
  • pinkerton2.0
    Do Sam Collins plz
    He is my fav so PLEASE invite him on the show ❤️ also great work keep it up!
  • chrisfish21
    Great interviews and great guests!
    What a great lineup of guests! Joe always asks such interesting questions. Keep up the amazing work! 🙌
  • aspen_lol
    Too many ads
    I’ve listened since day 1 and it’s gotten to the point where is an ad every 5 minutes
  • Mihaww
    Good!
    I used to be an avid listener of this podcast but as a 21 yo girl, i lost interest with a lot of his guests recently. love guests like Matt, Carly, Erin, Mike! The shark attack survivor, harry jowsey, people with interesting life stories. Maybe get Ella as a guest? Or more Pop culture, less sports specific towards your female audience who may not be interested in that. Overall love Joe!
  • E-liey
    Joe “interviewer” Vulpis
    Joe keeps the conversation flowing. He asks his guests unique and interesting questions. They’re not the same copy/paste questions you get from other podcasts. Highly recommend-Eli
  • freehouse
    Rylee
    Great interview with Rylee with interesting back ground on the DWTS show! One thing you both could work on is saying”like” every other word and I nearly stopped listening due to that. Listen back and you will hear it.
  • Kevinr5
    I like the pod
    But please slow down the posting one or 2 a week tops.
  • ft.erickk
    Joe don’t give up
    I still listen to the podcasts and ur doing amazing. Best questions and convos
  • Assassin0273
    Love it BUT!!!
    I’ve been listening to the podcast since day 1 now and I’ve loved it. I do like the new transition with only Joe running the podcast BUT I wish Joe wasn’t such a “yes” man to every guest. Joe seems to love all his guest which is good, but I feel the podcast needs more depth than “Q and A” then move in to the next question. I want Joe to question some of the answers people give and get to really know the person rather than have a celebrity guest to put in the title. This is no hate at all just feedback from my personal opinion.
  • I Love Adonai
    New Cohost
    Joseph please make Carly your permanent cohost! Just pick a day of the week she’s not recording Good Influences or Only Friends. You two are a great duo!
  • Iaineavingmyrealnamewtf
    Post same day
    Idk why podcasts still do the thing of releasing the video and audio on separate dates. just release on the same day bro. It’s hella annoying and you already have the audio from the YouTube video so just post it same day smh. thats why you get 1 star from me.
  • Idaisyyyy
    Joe!
    The Remi Ashton pod was so good! I love a more “serious” and “hosty” Joe!
  • nwcreatiive
    Bye Ilya
    I won’t stop listening! Why? Because Joe has carried this podcast. You’ve put the work in the whole time! I will forever support you! I would love an episode with katelyn!

    Make more merch!! And I love Xeela 💪🏼
    I listened to one of your podcasts, I loved it so I decided to start all the way from the beginning and listen to all of them and I finally made it to current day. I have to say I am pretty upset that I can’t just listened to you guys back to back. I now have to wait for you to post more podcasts🫠 Thank you for always making me laugh, on my way to work or allowing me to learn a cool fact, even if it’s not true. -3rd grade teacher 👩🏼‍🏫 Please make more merch!!
  • Damian.d.X
    About the hats
    I think I’m gonna buy all the hat with multiple different cards and then return each of them one day at a time after they’ve shipped just to make it a huge hassle for joe😂
  • NxvasWRLD
    Good then meh
    The podcast was a good listen for awhile I was always ready to listen to the next episode. I am proud and happy for Ilya in his business and what it is yet to come. But if you want to talk about fitness and xeela the whole pod just start one for xeela? We want to hear the friendship and great stories you guys have.
  • Adam062790
    Whose the favorite?
    Love both of these gentlemen and their podcast/ friendship. Now as to whose the favorite Joe has replied multiple times on YouTube comments to me BUT Ilya replied to me on Instagram. Decisions decisions. I’m 6ft7 so both their heads can be used as a coaster for me so hmmm haha Jk!
  • Mrs.Dobrik
    More Alex
    Let Alex be on the podcast more!!
  • aguirrekn
    One star
    Sorry but this podcast would be better without Joe.
  • d.edwinlopez

    6 ads in 20 minutes smh.
  • Rasenshuriken Uzumaki
    Ugh it xeela
    Little too much of xeela and fitness pod
  • josgueva
    Can you shoot me out
    Please 😸
  • Kylie💚
    🤍🤍
    By far my favorite podcast!
  • ilya lock in
    Wow
    Man what can I say loved the chemistry at first, but now it seems forced both look uninterested. Hurts to be writing this but hopefully we can see something changed because I’m on thin Ice with this pod.
  • ogmilkcarton
    If I could give more then 5 stars I would
    Bros are funny and laid back I listen to them every week at work
  • omadd14
    Boring nowadays
    Ilya sounds more and more uninterested every episode and talks over Joe constantly
  • yayodemac
    #MakeMastubateGreatAgain
    Was a great podcast to mastubate too but as soon as they started to talk what listeners do while listening to the podcast and Ilya answered “mastubate” I immediately got soft and couldn’t get hard again…..
  • Aphexxx
    lAME
    Ilya seems uninterested in the pod. It’s annoying.. joe doesn’t keep up with the short man’s conversations. I was an avid listener every episode but I kinda saw the bigger picture and stopped😂 I came back to give them one more chance but NVM. Ads are LONGGG. MONEY HUNGRY VULTURES
  • Derrocityxd
    Need answers
    Joe can you ask Ilya when the next episode of take notes come out I’ve been waiting for like a year now also love the dynamic between you guys
  • Andrea44411152
    Go F*** Yourself, Joe.
    Why are u mentioning a sex trafficker in your latest episode? Getting the vibes that you’re an Andr*w T*te fan. So disgusting.
  • HazeeeBone
    Best banter!
    I listen to you guys in the morning on my way to work and I’m giggling the whole time! I was yelled at by Ilya to write a review so here I am writing one. I’m not caught up so he might not remember yelling about it. I enjoy Ilya's random facts and Joe bugging him until he wants to quit.
  • ZainfromChicago
    Thanks!
    Honestly just thank you! You really make my morning everyday on my way into work. You both give me the motivation to get going and have a good day. Best podcast everrrr
  • TONIIIIIIm

    Amazing Pod!
    I love your pod & i love you guys!
  • Sophia Yucra
    Extend the podcast!!
    First off Love you guys!!! You guys seem like polar opposites but that’s what makes this podcast great. I don’t mind the ads I’ll listen through to make sure you guys get paid but give us more time! An hour would be great honestly, I know joe would be down but Ilya needs to understand as fans we love hearing you guys talk about random stuff. Not one epsiode has been boring so pls give us more!! Enjoy the holidays ❤️
  • Firedog shy
    I love this show
    Been listening since the first episode y’all are so funny. Seriously my favorite podcast I listen the day the episode comes out every time. PLEASE DO NOT STOP MAKING THIS POD
  • macykiss
    Basically all Ads
    2 whole minutes of ad placements at the beginning, arent even host reads just straight up loud advettisements. probably 12 minutes of talking followd by another 2 minutes of ads. podcast is too short to add in this place ads. cant listen anymore
  • Brgarcia23
    With peach and love
    I hate hearing iliya humble brag about how busy he is juggling million dollar businesses, no doubt you’re a great business person but let’s not act like a lot of your success doesn’t stems from the fact that you’re friends with David. We want the dumb conversations that two best friends have when they are chilling with each other not how much you’re suffering from success ❤️
  • miss. hutch
    Drop Ilya
    Don’t come on a podcast Ilya. Joe is good enough without you. Honestly your “I’m too good for anything bc I own a business” is annoying. Later loser!
