    My sides hurt!
    Well you asked for it - I judge Chris and Karen to be wildly diverting. I almost forgot how terrible everything is.
  • Madame Lexy
    Yes, I Do Need a Ride
    This is my emotional support podcast. These two are hilarious together and I love them. I particularly love when Karen shields Chris from going through the windshield whenever a nimrod cuts them off in traffic. A fun time for all. My one wish is for them to NEVER have a guest along for the ride…unless it’s Tig 🤩
  • Funny, easy listening!
    Karen and Chris are the best car buddies
    Love em! Been listening for years.

    This show is exactly what I didn’t know I needed! Perfect for passing the long hours of a 9-5!

    Instant Smile 😁
    When Chris mentions Senior Froggies in today’s episode I was transported to my favorite place to get lunch in high school. The a crisp pinto burrito and mexi fries for around 2.50 in the mid eighties. An Inland Empire favorite- (the other Inland Empire in eastern Washington). Love the show- listening for years- Monday is better because I have your podcast to listen to.

    Comedy! It’s Funny.
    Love Chris and what a perfect pairing with KK. This is the only podcast that actually inspires me to get in my car and drive aimlessly through the mean streets of LA. Bravo.
  • Kvanbebber
    Perfection
    I found this podcast, as a Karen Kilgariff/My Favorite Murder fan. Now, I love Chris too. This podcast perfectly captures the podcast experience of hanging with friends. Great to be a stowaway, riding along and also to be introduced to so many other comedians too! Love to you both!

    Endless delight
    I became obsessed with this podcast during the pandemic and now I eagerly wait for every new episode to drop. The chemistry Karen and Chris have is amazing and their guests are always entertaining. I laugh loudly and unapologetically as I walk around my neighborhood listening each week.

    I can’t believe I didn’t try DYNAR sooner but it’s been pretty amazing to have years worth of back catalog to catch up on, which I’ve been working my way through over the last few months. I feel like Chris and Karen are two of my pals and my favorite episodes are the ones when they don’t even have a guest.

    !!L-O-V-E-I-T!!
    Why Is There Not A Ten Star Option?? I’ll Listen To Anything Karen And Georgia A Part Of.. I May Not Be A Fan If The Politics Being A Conservative In California.. Yes We Do Exist.. LOL.. But This Sh— Is Hilarious

    I’ve been a DYNAR listener for so many years. Karen & Chris are hilarious and they continue to make me laugh so hard that I cry on my drive to work. Mondays aren’t so bad, thanks to these two 💙
  • QueenBee0257
    So funny!
    I enjoy all the banter, with or without guests. I can count on this podcast to make me laugh, it’s a go to for some mood lifting!!
  • SingleWithPizza
    I just want to take Chris on a date so badly
    Karen and Chris are both so hilarious, I love their laughs and how they riff off each other organically. They truly are my favorite duo to listen to (no offense to Georgia). They keep me laughing and entertained no matter what. Honestly it’s my favorite podcast because they don’t talk about anything too heavy and they keep the mood just right. If you’re ever too stoned and feeling paranoid I recommend turning on DYNAR because they will change your entire mood and calm your thoughts. I swear it works, I’ve tested this theory several times, lol. If you don’t listen to DYNAR you’re probably a bad person — so give them a listen! Don’t forget to subscribe, rate and review! <3

    Hilarious Podcast
    I originally learned about this podcast from listening to Karen’s other podcast, My Favorite Murder. This podcast never fails to make me laugh. It’s two hilarious friends being attacked by men on bikes with chains. If an MFM episode (wonderful but sad at times) or life brings you down… Karen and Chris are here to bring you joy.
  • mfrancz
    Best pod ever (amongst others lol)
    I’m writing a review. Y’all are great - now stop telling me what to do. Take a listen. Promise you won’t regret. If you do, carry on 🫶

  • 0laura0
    Fav Pod since 2016
    I listen to A LOT of podcasts and this one has been my absolute favorite since 2016. Karen and Chris have the best banter, I’m obsessed with their friendship and wish I was a part of it lol Can’t recommend this pod or any art made by these two enough!
  • TLD888

  • RachelAllyse
    A fun, easy listen
    Started listening to this because of Karen, stayed because of Chris. The riffing these two do is hilarious, and the guests are so fun.

    This is for poor little Chris with soot on his face
    I love Do You Need a Ride. Mondays are worth looking forward to because a new episode will be out. Whether it’s Karen and Chris riffing in the car for an hour or they’re joined by a guest comedian, you can count on some belly laughs from this show. Fantastic, give me 14 of em!
  • @thessamloe
    The Best!!
    I am now addicted to this podcast and look forward to listening to it every week because of the delightful banter between Chris and Karen. It truly is therapy…… I laugh out loud almost to the point of cry laughing many times, and it’s especially fun while driving around where I live in LA because I can relate to their LA traffic journeys and references. This show is the best!
  • mrs.knightterror
    Love!
    I absolutely love hearing about Chris skating at Costco, and his adventures. Also, I will listen to Karen speak all day. Karen voice is my favorite podcast voice. Absolutely hilarious and fun.

    This podcast got my the most anxiety inducing week long road trip through rural Scotland with only one flat tire! Five Stars.

    They’re the friends talking in the background of life. Love them. Karen the quintessential older sister, Chris being Chris.

    Season 4 ep 54
    I was just listening to this episode and had to write in. Y’all are talking about random movies that are streaming from other countries. If you haven’t already please watch RRR. It is like John Wick meets George of the jungle. It is intense heart warming, and you just literally cannot stop watching. there is also a fun dance scene which my kids love to mimic. I love listening to you guys and your banter each week. you’re commentary on some of that LA traffic is hysterical. I lived in the California Bay Area for 25 years and I don’t miss it one bit. PS I even love when it’s just Karen and Chris in the car.
  • Megan_e_k
    I didn’t know I needed this podcast.
    I now chronicle my life as pre-DYNAR and post-DYNAR. The chillest and funniest banter to listen to, along with some of the best one-liners that I repeat to myself in Karen or Chris’s voices and continue to laugh at (in a totally sane way).
  • a-lil-happy-miss
    Love these two
    Favorite podcast to listen to each week. So much nonsense, just pure joy. Listen!

    Do you like turtles, bike locks, and dads named Jim? Sour candies, kitchen ghosts, and the smell of toast? Getting to ride along with you while you’re simultaneously honest, vulnerable, smart, and silly is a true gift. Fer reals. Love, a diehard dynarinobanana (Old review) For being my pretend-friends. Seriously. This is the best podcast and I'm truly grateful for your incomparable humor, wit, friendship, excitement at sirens (I'm the same way), exasperation at BWM dicks, commitment to safe driving, introspective depth, dog hair, and vulnerability. Thank you for the belly-laughs! Beep-beep, kiss-kiss!
  • Arkansan Kendra
    I always need a ride
    Do you miss the adrenaline jolt of rush-hour traffic now that you’re stuck at a remote job, confined to your home 24x7? No? Well what if it was FUN and you DID miss it. Because this podcast is for you assuming you have that reach of imagination. It’s extra exciting if you’ve only heard about LA traffic in movies, like that time “Clueless” made me believe California freeways are where you get aggressively tailgated by semi trucks until you take the next exit out of fear and flop sweat. It’s kinda like that but you’re safe and you get to just enjoy the drama and banter of two people entirely unaffected by this chaos because it’s just part of their cowabunga lifestyle. Thanks for offering this vicarious and exciting experience to me every Monday morning for the last few years <3

    Perfect for the SoCal girl in you
    This. Has. Everything. Laughs out loud, traffic talk, and drive-thrus. What more could any SoCal girl want?
  • Mightyjoe5280
    Love Karen and Chris
    Such a joy to listen to. Always turns my day around whether they’re just chatting between themselves or have a guest. Always a good time.
