Fascinating topic. love all of the topics.

I enjoy how real they are, that they admit when they're wrong, that they do their best to stick to facts, but are also real and personal about their views and values. They're not perfect but they seem like good company to keep me company through the loneliest times. Thanks for everything you do guys.

It like school, but if school took place in the parking lot and your friends were the teachers and you could bum a cigarette off of one of the teachers. It’s a pretty good time.

I love this podcast. It’s very educational and has taught me many things that I would’ve never known keep up the good work.

How learning should be - interesting topics delivered in a relatable, familiar way. Thank you for the hours of learning!

I've been listening for almost 8 years, and you guys always make the boring stuff exciting. Keep it up. Don't listen to haters who whine about how you aren't intellectual or you wheeze or something. Haters gonna hate

This is my first ever review of a podcast. I lost respect and trust in these guys after they could not figure out whether Bismarck was in South Dakota or North Dakota and then laughed about the prospect of hosting a live show in the Dakotas.

The most important aspect to be able not only be that it was a great idea but

Thank you for the twilight zone episode, I watched some of the originals and now I’m going down a rabbit hole. Keep it up, I’ll keep listening.

Have loved Josh & Chuck for years but hearing Chuck taking a wheezy breath between every few words has become so distracting that it makes the show hard to listen to, which is so frustrating. Maybe try an inhaler or something before doing an audio recording?

It’s alright nothing super intellectual it mainly just voices their opinions but it is a nice listen anyways I’m not really listening to learn lol

Been a fan since I found podcasts many years ago. My old faithful. Love these guys <3

Continuously excellent! This is one of my all time faves! Thanks guys! You are hilarious!

Every time I start enjoying the podcast again (after trying to excuse some gross comment they’ve made), they say something again that makes me question supporting them at all. Chuck literally just said “I love Dave Chappell” in the recent comedy episode. Way to take me out of it guys, my most listened to, enjoyable, fun podcast really reminds me every once in awhile that the hosts don’t even think twice about supporting people who hate minorities and contribute to violence against them. I would not recommend this podcast to ANY people in my age group. They may have finally lost me with this one.

This podcast is amazing I listen to it every night with my family I love it and all the episodes are amazing.

find myself reaching for the +30secs button after every few sentences expecting an ad. Not fun anymore. Unsubscribe

They’re just sharing their opinions and some wrong facts and it’s so short they don’t get deep into anything. It’s all ads. FYI parachute pants DID come back into style.

Absolutely love the show!! My favorite episode is the one about the pinto. I was laughing so hard I was crying and had to pull over…. Please do an episode about the WASP from ww2!! And the Russian Night Witches!!

I learn a fun fact every episode. I like to think it makes me a more interesting dinner guest when I say DID YOU KNOW. Love the jingles as well. Not sure why people think a 30 second jingle is annoying. I love when they tailor the jingle theme to the episode theme

How about an episode about penis size? Make some jokes about men.

This show is great for me. I’m always looking for fun ways to get smarterer. For sure.

Capitalism is bad... buy our new book. God bless ‘em

Love this show. I listen almost everyday! It’s nerdy but never confusing or too wordy to understand. Every episode I learn something new and have a good laugh. 99% kid appropriate unless you put on an episode that is directly about something inappropriate.

Good podcast, but the number of ads and the “jingle” is annoying. Maybe more ads at the beginning to reduce the number of interruptions?

Hey guys, Germany is not landlocked as you said in your podcast about mermaids. It’s on the north Sea and it actually has a port named Bremerhavin. Stuff you should know!!

These guys kinda just stumble thru topics like the fall of the USSR like my uncle trying to explain it. Generally yeah but filled with bad heart radio adds and not in a skillful and expert way. Keeps getting high rankings based on iheart $$$(?)

I’ve listened to this show for 12 years. I love the thoughtful hosts and all the different topics. It’s one of the best pods out there if you ask me. Love it!

Great show!

I’ve listened to this podcast for over 10 years and learned so many random, interesting things from Josh and Chuck.

These guys will do a two part episode on something and not have the info on the most basic facts. If you like their banter - great - but if you’re hoping to actually learn about the topic you’ll probably be disappointed.

I do like this podcast overall. The episodes are typically very interesting, (although the high frequency of ads is frustrating). But I’ve noticed in some of the episodes geared towards the experiences of women there’s some comments that just feel off. While it’s important to cover topics like postpartum depression, it’s hard to listen to two men who never have and never will experience that talk about what they think and feel about it especially when I have noticed some odd and ignorant comments. Id say in the future for episodes like that, bring on a woman on the podcast who can speak on it with first hand experience and be extra diligent on research!

Love these guys and all the facts. History that entertains and inspires. A must listen for anyone.

Josh and Chuck are the best! No matter my mood, listening to them brightens my dad. Keep it up, guys.

Really great podcast. By turns, it is funny and factually accurate. Josh and Chuck are easy to listen to and it’s usually an easy listen that I can count on for a good distraction.

Nothing beats a long drive with a SYSK episode playing in the background. I’ve learned so much from this podcast, and Josh and Chuck somehow make even the most random topics ridiculously interesting. Always entertaining, always informative, and definitely one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Keep it going, guys!

Still cant keep your stupid politics out of every topic.

Thank you so much for this podcast. You do all the hard work of a deep dive and present information in a way that is fun and easy to understand.

A wide birth of information, listen to every one. Also, great chemistry- they have been doing this for a long time. Downside, they show up without knowing how to pronounce ‘stuff’, read information off of a script, and the ads are becoming insufferable.

Hosts try to be funny or interesting instead of just making this educational. I can’t listen to the podcast due to useless talking. Would prefer to just learn stuff and not listen to useless chatter. If they are paid, maybe hire someone else to do this podcast?

This podcast is so good! 😊 You will love it! Give it a try!

I’ve been listening to this show off and on for several years and always learn something new, but it’s frustrating to hear you entirely make up facts based on your own (lack of) experience. I just listened to the Blacksmiths episode and you said farriers only exist to show off?! The 28,000 active farriers in the US would tend to disagree. You could’ve found this figure with a 5 second internet search. Just stop making things up and say you don’t know the answer. Who knows how much misinformation you’ve spread over the years, however benign.

So the first episode of the Iran Contra affair (“Shady in the 80s”) got something wrong. The claim was made that the Sandinistas ran the country since the 1930s. In fact the Somoza regime were in charge until the late 1970s, when the Sandinista revolution occurred. An entertaining listen but some critical facts were wrong.

The social identity episode fascinating! But, just fyi, only sports ball game that matters at all is Army Navy Game. I’m particularly enjoying the road episode! When my grandfather was a boy in the early around 1910 or so, his father bought a model T and they drove from Ft Meade SD to the new post in Arizona. No road most of the way, just old horse trails. He was a boy so it was an adventure. FWIW, we still carry an atlas and buy an updated edition every few years.

Josh & Chuck I can just about listen to anything discussed. The USSR very interesting. Thank you!

I leasten to these podcasts almost every time in the car!🥹😀😀😀😀

You guys could talk about ptsd.

Well researched, fact checked and entertaining.

I wish you could podcast forever. So much info! You can scroll down the list and find at least 5 episodes to listen to. (As soon as I get to writing a review I don’t know what to write about) can you guys do an episode about ligers and tions? Yes tigers and lions breaded (it’s really sad) you guys are inspiring. Bye

As someone whose views skew conservative, I’ve become inured to a bit of leftism with my music, movies, and shows. However, SYSK was generally pretty good about steering clear of bias, and I really grew to enjoy the content. That seems to have changed lately — a lot more leftism weaves its way into each episode now. I guess all things are political in this era. Makes me sad.

This has been a longstanding podcast in my rotation. Reliably interesting, entertaining, and the hosts are understated and funny. But it was today, when Josh explained why satire might be bad for society (where is he going with this?) that compelled me to write a review. More pet theories!!
