Why girls should listen to J&D show
Hi, I’m a Korean-American girl, and I like the J and D Show. Apparently the guys think I am an anomaly, but I don’t agree with them. How can girls, especially K-girls, not find them funny? I’m here to give some reasons why females should start tuning into the J and D Show, if you ladies aren’t already.
1. Funny pop culture commentary from an Asian-American perspective.
There are a lot of podcasts that have hilarious guys shoot the shit, but J and D give a different point of view – a slightly more squinty one. They are not hesitant to make fun of blacks, whites, Asians, especially Koreans, and not least, themselves. They talk about things like the compulsion of Asian girls to take pictures of their food when they go out, why Avatar is unintentionally hilarious, and what spam is made of (90% pig shoulder, 10% sphincter).
2. J and D are lovable and entertaining.
Jon and Danny pretty much have the exact amount of wit and niceness that makes someone funny. Not pretentious, just fun to listen to. Hun-joon, the wisest guy that J and D know, also adds into the mix with his straight man-esque role.
3. They give an example of what normal guys talk about.
Okay, the previous two points are not necessarily good reasons why girls should listen to the show, but this one is: they provide more insight on how guys think, especially with topics like “why girls aren’t funny,” or “how girls can get a boyfriend.” They may or may not be right, but if you aren’t friends with guys or don’t have males surrounding you, this is what they might sound like.
4. (if you are Korean) They make hilarious K-jokes.
My ice cubes smell like mackerel, I have moo-dari, and my mom always cuts Korean pears after dinner. They also throw in K-pop references in once in awhile.
5. (if you are me) The show helps bring sleep.
It’s like having my brother or friends talking in the background, but funnier.

Welcome, Michelle! Thanks for supporting J&D!
I agree with #5. I used to try to listen to the shows at night before going to sleep, but I’d eventually just…fall asleep. I don’t think it has anything to do with them being boring, but they def are funny
