These two are so funny… I have peed my pants twice while listening (once I might have been 8mo pregnant, but still) 😂 The ADHD from both makes it that much better! I find myself talking back to them like we are all sitting on the couch chatting together! Best part of my week 🤣🤣

I loved this pod, but now that they started a Pateron they hold back for that and it’s al just trying to get you sign up.

Listening to both of you is the highlight to my morning. Every day while I’m getting ready to teach the future of America, I listen to Joe and Gaspare. I’m regaled by their stories of teaching, their real life experiences, and the Did you know episodes have taught me a lot about people and places I did not know about. Listening to Joe and Gaspare add the silver lining to my days as a teacher. It’s amazing to me that we all are practically living the same realities when it comes to the anecdotes they share about their classroom experiences. Frankly it makes me feel less alone and not so crazy! So thank you both for your humor, your antics, and just for being you! I appreciate you both so much. Keep doing what you’re doing and I’ll keep listening how I’m listening. Bree E.

The raw chicken episode had me dying 😂

Joe and Gaspare are the most fun to listen to as I start my day getting ready for school. They tickle me with their banter and make me laugh with their stories. I will say I had to skip ahead of all the raw chicken eating discussion. ICK! I saw Joe in Nashville and he was SO much fun! I love Gaspare’s gravelly voice and accent! I would love to see him in person as well. Keep up the awesome work, but please no more raw meat eating conversations! :)

My favorite podcasts. I love these two so much. I just bought my tickets to see Joe in Tacoma. It’ll be my partner’s first live comedy show, & we’re in the premium seats, so I’m beyond excited for him to have a “crowd work” experience!! Keep up the great work J & G & give my love to Mama Fran♥️

Such a big fan of this podcast but let me tell ya…ya gotta check out the YouTube version of the podcast so you can see the nonsensical antics that go on! Gaspare being Gaspare. Joe being utterly flabbergasted at Gaspare being Gaspare. The accents, the faces, the laughter - it IS the moment 😂

LISTEN TO THIS

So, I’ve listened for years but the latest episode of Joe just being mean to a person he didn’t like a comment from was beyond too much for me. Kinda like seeing his true colors shine. Unfortunate

Lit er a lly.

The Social Studies Podcast is the absolute best! I cannot say enough about these two guys. They make me laugh out loud and keep me listening on a regular basis! I can’t get enough. You don’t have to be a teacher or work in a school to enjoy their banter. Keep it coming guys!

Joe and Gasper are the perfect pair! I love listening to their weekly banter, lessons and sometimes random convos! I love to catch up on all things social studies on road trips and go back to older episodes when I’m caught up! You need to listen to this hilarious duo!

I have not been listening to this podcast for very long, but I knew after the first couple episodes that I was going to love this podcast. I listen to it before I go to sleep so I can get a couple of laughs in before I go to bed. This podcast always finds a way to make me chuckle and laugh out loud. Joe and Gaspare are truly a one of a kind pair.

Joe and Gas are the perfect combination of great friendship conversation, funny family stories, life happenings and ADHD to keep you on your toes! I am constantly smiling and laughing when I listen to these two. Also, you don’t have to be a teacher to love these guys. Finally, Joe was amazing at his Denver show and I hope Gas makes it to Colorado soon!

I am a teacher who drives a looooot. You guys are hilarious and make my long drives go by so quickly! Joe I saw you in Milwaukee and hope to be able to see you both one day! Thank you for the laughs!

Hiya Joe and Gaspar! I’ve been listening to Joe for about a year and love that Gaspar has joined the podcast. Such a juxtaposition of personalities that mesh into a totally hilarious and sometimes serious blend of the many thoughts racing around in both of your heads. Please please come to NE Ohio! OHIA is reserved for those special folks south of Columbus, we will give you the welcome you deserve! Thanks for the laughs and I want Blippy to apologize personally on the podcast; especially for the excavator song.

I listen to the podcast on the reg driving to work at the school. It’s a hilarious or intriguing conversation with other adults before I get to my middle-schooler ridiculousness all day. I feel like it prepares me well for the day. I love laughing, and I love learning new things. It’s a big part of my morning I look forward to and just helps me get my mind ready for the day. I love it!

As I begin my 24th year of teaching it goes without saying that I am BURNED OUT!!! But Joe and Gaspare give me something to laugh out loud about on my morning drives. The other teachers laugh at me because when I pull into the school lot I am always cackling so loud you can hear me with my windows up! I giggle all the way to the door. I caught Joe’s show in Cincy and dragged my husband to see him, and he loved him too. At this stage in the game my spirit is jaded and my soul is a little twisted when it comes to my job, so THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for reminding exactly how uplifting laughter can be. You both are an absolute joy to listen to and keep me going! (Gaspare, come to Cincy, I’d love to see you in person!!)

This podcast is a guaranteed good time. I listen on my way to work and the way Gasper and Joe go back and forth kills me. It is a great start to my morning drive to work as well as relaxing in my drive home. It is full of fun and knowledge and I share this podcast with everyone I know.

Holy cow. This is really the only podcast I’ve been able to get into. I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or what, but with other podcasts I just find myself tuning out and thinking of something else… I LOVE LOVE LOVE these guys! They have me crying laughing. Topics are so relatable and funny! Can’t wait to see them live!

When I need a laugh or need to listen to something RANDOM AS HECK, this is my go-to podcast to make me laugh!

Love love looooove this pod! Joe and Gas will make you laugh each and every episode. Thanks for making my drive to work a lot less miserable! PS- what happened to Blippi?

I discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and have been listening to it during my long runs. Joe and Gaspare keep me entertained for hours!

As an escaped former Pre K teacher, I thought this podcast resonated with me being an educator but the truth is it’s just because Joe and Gaspere are such wonderful people with the most amazing friendship. I laugh so hard every episode, it feels like being silly with old friends. 🩷

The only podcast I listen to! Love Joe and Gas! They’re awesome and hilarious! Great podcast for teachers and muggles too!

This podcast used to be about teaching. Now it’s about whatever thought floats into Gaspare’s head and what Joe has to say about it. Their friendship is so heart warming even though they are complete opposites; Joe is a healthy, eco friendly, NW boy and Gas is out in NY watering his plans with old motor oil he found in his shed. I die laughing every time and feel like I’m just visiting with old buddies.

I started hitting a wall around mile 19 and I switched from my music to this podcast. I always think it’s entertaining, but it literally powered me through the end of the marathon. Thanks for the laughs guys!

After being reminded for the reviews in each episode, I am sorry it took me so long to actually do it. These guys are the best and this is my favorite podcast- offering a full spectrum of the humorous observations and facts of life. Love the brotherly chemistry between Gaspare and Joe! I look forward to seeing Joe LIVE in Houston soon and my only hope is Gaspare gets down here in the near future. Thanks for all the wonderful episodes and you’re finally welcome for the rating/review! Britt in H-Town

Love listening to this podcast with Joe and Gaspare. They are so funny and it always makes me laugh and smile when I’m having a hard day 🙂.

Long-time listener, first time reviewer! I discovered the Social Studies podcast about three years ago, and have been listening ever since. Joe always had me cracking up about his take on education and students. Then came the permanent addition of Gaspare and it was genius! Joe and Gaspare have me laughing out loud during my commute each and every episode! I have recommended this podcast to educators and not educators alike. I most recently recommended it to my Senior pre-service teachers college students. I described it to them as listening to “your two hilarious cousins talking at the family reunion”! You need to listen to this podcast EVEN if you aren’t a teacher. Highly recommend this podcast!

I absolutely love this duo! I started listening when I got hired as an elementary school counselor back in 2020 and have been hooked since. The addition of Gaspare has been perfection! I find myself answering their ridiculous questions while driving alone in my car and have come near to swerving because they have my laughing so hard. No teaching certificate required to get a kick out of these two- give it a shot!

I’m not a mom, I’m not a teacher, and I’m not a podcast person, yet I can’t get enough of Joe and Gaspare’s open relationship with ADHD. I’ve never had the patience to listen to long podcasts, nor have I found a subject matter that interests me enough to stay tuned in for more than a few minutes. With Gaspare and Joe, however, you never know where the conversation will go, or how many topics they manage to squeeze into 30-60 minutes. Adding “Did You Know” was a fun addition, with a fun song that cracks me up. It’s kind of like they’re still feeling out the vibe of Did You Know, but in traditional Social Studies fashion, the title may or may not reflect the actual topics discussed. Both are fun, light, I laugh, I love, and I appreciate. I’ve chatted with Gaspare on Instagram, I’ve posted something relevant on the gram and tagged the guys and they actually mentioned it on the following pod. I love when Gas talks about or even has his kids on (they’re so great), and I can’t wait for Joe to have kids because the way he talks to/about children is beautiful as well as silly. Both men are awesome examples of wonderful humans, who just happen to be very very funny. Love you guys

I have been listening to a podcast since the panny When I discovered it, I was completely hooked. I literally am just now figuring out how to leave a review. Joe, I love listening to your stories about meeting and life in general. Having Gasper join the podcast as been amazing. I love listening to y’all, talk and interact with one another. He reminds me of my dad with all of his useless knowledge. Thank you for making the podcast and adding another day to your podcast. I hope to see y’all live this summer!

I stumbled across this podcast, being familiar with Joe’s comedy from social media (his verbatim readings of things children write kill me). I figured Joe and Gaspare were old friends because their rapport and comedic timing are amazing. I’m in rural Montana and hope to see them live sometime, I keep hearing about shows in places I used to live. When they were talking about the random ostrich farm in Arizona between Phoenix and Tucson I knew immediately what they’re talking about haha. The episodes are always super funny and I learn something even if it’s weird information.

Love Joe and Gaspare! This podcast is a wild ride. By the end, you’ll be questioning your pronunciation of all words and measuring things by how many ants they weigh.

I just discovered this podcast a few weeks ago and I love it so much. Joe and Gaspare are so funny and charming. I listen in the morning as I get ready for work and on my commute. It’s a great start to my day.

I always smile and laugh with you both. I love listening to you when I’m working out at the gym or driving!! Thank you for being so real!!!

Love to listen to the random and informative conversations! Thank you for the chuckle while I walk the dogs

Joe and Gaspare are a breath of fresh air and keep me laughing all the way to work Mondays and Thursdays! I find myself referring back to their witty anecdotes and relatable content and have converted my friends and family into listeners. All I can hope for now is a more frequent episode drop!

I absolutely love the dynamic of this podcast! Joe and Gaspare me laugh and feel like I’m part of the crew. Seriously, I constantly find myself answering their questions out loud and interjecting as if I’m part of the conversation… it’s all so good! Binge it NOW!

I’m a teacher and an og fan of Joe and all his content…I truly don’t know how or when Gaspare joined this podcast but it was seamless and somehow he is the most perfect addition. I die laughing at the two of you- thank you for making my commutes less stressful!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The podcast is awesome (🤣side-splittingly funny & informational🤣) & I HIGHLY recommend it but, I worry that there's going to come a day when I can't just find a new podcast to listen to because I'm all caught up with listening to all the old ones LOL. I have been known to relisten to podcasts so, I'll just have to be satisfied with that. Keep up the great work, gentlemen!!! I enjoy ALL the content you both put out 👏👏.

Fantastic y’all bring so much joy to each episode! I love to listen each week! This podcast makes my morning a little bit brighter! Y’all are amazing! I love how y’all make me feel like we are just in the living room having a conversation!

This is actually the second review I’m writing. I love this podcast even more now. I listen every single week (now TWICE yay!!) on my commute to work and now that I’m home for the summer, I can’t listen as often (I’m a single mom) and I truly miss it. I just listened to the most recent episode because I actually had a little time to myself in the car and laughed out loud the entire time. THANK YOU!! You have no idea how much I need to laugh. Can’t wait to see Gaspare in person in New Brunswick in August!! Keep the laughs coming!! You guys are AWESOME!

I have been following Joe for years, started listening to the podcast, followed Gaspare after his first appearance on the pod, and screamed when you announced his permanent stay. I haven’t reviewed it before (bc adhd) I kept forgetting to but currently listening to - review mentioning episode. I don’t teach but I have 4 kids and all of my kids have 2-5 kids each so we create a classroom wherever we go. I have so much more appreciation for my kids’ teachers and I totally make a point to give them their favorite chocolates and wine for every holiday. I’ve also been trying to convince my friends to go see your show but i have a newborn so I can’t go this year. Love you guys hope to see you in 2024. (Also waiting for your special to drop, Joe!) xoxo (you can say my name, say my name🎵)

I love this podcast with my whole being and have even gotten my engineer boyfriend hooked on it. I laugh so hard listening to all of the random conversations between Joe and Gaspare even if they have nothing to do with the emails or anything at all for that. P.s. I was literally star struck when I met you Joe, I saw you on the street corner after your last Madison show, and I sent in the kid getting kicked in the balls email.

In the world of podcasts this is a twice baked potato with all the fixings and none of the calories. It’s truly a guilt free carb intake filled with laughs.

I actually learn while listening but moreover get some great laughs. Side note: My 9 year old son is obsessed with history, geography, and all things social studies so even learning a few new facts makes me look great!

Love mama Fran, love Gaspare, and of course love Joe! I am not a teacher but come from a long line of teachers. So hilarious, insightful, interesting, addicting - just exactly what I need through my week. I look forward to listening every morning and afternoon on my way to and from work. Can’t get enough. ~*So great*~

I get multiple LOLs in every episode for real, out loud! Just when I think I’ve heard the highlight, y’all start a new topic, sometimes related, often random, and I laugh even harder. I love when y’all get cracked up at each other, and when you can’t stop laughing while telling your own story; I’m dead! Listeners, if you want a smile on your face when to walk into work or wherever you’re headed, turn on Joe and Gaspare on the way! You guys make my week!
