Bodega Boys has ruined podcasts for me

I used to have a dozen or so podcasts that I would be caught up on for weekly releases. Mostly comedy and other random stuff mostly based in LA shows (all sound like herbs now).

After hearing the podcast back in 2017, nothing has been the same. I'm on my third or fourth relisten at this point.

The show has such a casual and flowing format that I can throw an episode on in any setting and be entertained.

It's gotten to the point where I have memories associated with bits, and I can remember when and where I was when I first heard the episode/segment.

Nowadays I'd say 90% of my podcast consumption is solely this podcast because I've grown too comfortable with the routine. Not sure when this will break, but I'm not mad at it.

Do the drop.

Same happened to me, sort of. I only ever listened to one podcast and Bodega Boys replaced it once I started listening.

I listen to two others, but Bodega Boys is my crown jewel.

Curious what the others are

Couldn't Help But Wonder, a podcast where the two hosts television writers Jamie Lee and Rose Surnow rewatch and dissect Sex and the City, and You're Wrong About, where two journalists Sarah Marshall and Michael Hobbes review events and phenomenons from recent history and go over details that might've been left out or misconstrued. Highly recommend both if either of those pique your interest!

Honestly I thought the same thing when I started it. I’ve sent him many a DM about being a guest on it.

The pod has major replay value indeed. I try to listen to current shows about 3 times each (one being a watch by downloading the YouTube video). I also went back and listened from episode 1 and those I listen to twice. I can easily see how it could nearly be somebody's only pod.

I never listened to podcast til I heard Bodega Boys. Now I CAN'T listen to other podcasts cause the brand is too strong.

I GOTTA GET RIGHT BRO. MY GUTS HURT.

Being from the BX, it’s like listening to my friends talk to each other. The dirty jokes and the references to local places just makes the podcast feel so natural. The only other podcast that makes me laugh as hard as the Brand is the Read, which I also believe records at Milk Studios. Other than those two, it’s hard finding podcasts that can keep my attention for long periods of time.

Man, at this point I'm backed up to, like...Christmas? I got busy at work in the new year, added a couple new current event pods to my usual rotation and just kind of fell out of the loop. My next Sunday-Monday-Tuesday is gonna be a three day long binge of mostly their stuff to get caught up, and it's going to be kind of surreal rounding the corner into March I imagine.

Being a former New Yorker, the shit keeps me connected. I can relate to so much shit.

I just think they have a simple and consistent formula. It's like standing on the corner and shooting the shit with your peoples.

SAME. I'm even more washed than the boys but I love hearing references to Pianos and Fat Beats and the rest of the LES spots I used to bang with in the aughts. Like, there's a 100% chance Desus and I were both SCHMACKED at XVI or La Linea or Opaline between 2002-2007 at the same time.

I hear you. I listen to a few other podcasts, but Bodega Boys and The Read are the ones that I look forward to the most every week and re-listen to old episodes all the time.

Friend of the show Malcolm Gladwell has some good podcasts. Revisionist History and Broken Record.

Not nearly the same vibe though.

Recently have started listening to the podcast after watching so many of their yt clips and the podcast is way funnier imo. Desus is the dude who throws those funny ass jokes around and mero is just the glue that keeps the show rolling. They deserve a radio show on Sirius or something.
