Very Suprised!
ztdst18 July 2022
I am very skeptical about any new TruTV show that airs, because they are usually not good. I was wrong about this one. These two guys have great chemistry and they are not full of themselves. They are very laid back, but are also funny and entertaining. The first show had a nice flow and they even bought drinks for a group of complete strangers. I will be definitely tuning in for future episodes.

Entertainment for the quirky

Dont listen to the reviews that say this show is "boring" or "pointless". I turned it on to watch on a whim and I'm glad I did, because it's hilarious. If you have a dry sense of humor and like food, theres a good chance you will like it. Not just the dry humor, but the camaraderie between the two guys takes me back to college years.

HBO MAX, KEEP THIS ONE GOING! NEXT SEASON PLZ!

Don't go into this thinking it's some Impractical Jokers type format but as a Travel Vlog, its not. Yes, they're friends. Yes, they're comedians. However, it's a Travel Vlog show where people get paid to check out various vacation areas and submerge themselves into some aspect of the location they visit. All travel vlog shows are different. Some focus on really bougie/exclusive type places with really haughty hosts and others are the antithesis of that with really budget locales on a very tight budget. This is neither, but closer to the latter. To me, it a must watch because it gives me insight into places I plan to visit at some point and allows me to add new ones to the list. They do a decent job of getting the essence of the place they visit from the view of foodies who like to drink, eat and have fun. I'm not a big drinker so I wont be doing all of their recommendations, but I have noted certain spots they've gone to as places I wanna check out that aren't on the normal "things to do in" type searches you do before going on a vacation somewhere.

That said, it's all about getting more knowledge and pointers on different places I want to check out off the beaten path from restaurants to bars to clubs to things to do. For me though, it's the restaurants and things to do I take note of most.

I also enjoy HOW they experience these places. They almost always incorporate the owners, other travelers and locals for a behind the scenes look into the places they go. Again, INVALUABLE knowledge to be had there when you see WHERE and HOW the food you're about to eat is prepared!

As far as the aspect of watching them just to have a good time watching them have a good time, lol I do! They're very affable guys (both comedians) who aren't over the top with the acting for the camera aspect of reality TV. They come across as relatable and their overall vibe keeps the show watchable and entertaining. You might get a few good laughs, but it's not at an Impractical Jokets level of funny because, again, it's not that type of show. It's a Travel Vlog experience with a fun vibe., nothing more, nothing less.

Anyways, to sum up, its a great Travel Vlog and I'm not sure why the people who disliked it, dislike it so vehemently to give it no to 2 stars max. Maybe they don't like the actors? Dunno what the issue with the 2 star/no star reviewers is but I promise you, at the very least the show is a good way to learn about a different vacation spots and cities with some down to earth regular type guys leading the journey with enthusiasm and goofy vigor. So, I recommend it at least as a way to pass time and learn a little something but at the very best, a fun and informative travel vlog experience!

**HBO MAX, HURRY UP AND RELEASE MORE EPISODES ASAP!**

Super fun
harriscolleen-5710815 July 2022
Love the banter and the flow of the show! Adam Pally is always hilarious in every project he's in, and Jon Gabrus deserves to be a huge star. Together they play off one another perfectly and make the viewer feel equal parts "I feel like I'm there with them" and "damn, I wish I was there with them."

Best friends make a great show

Jon Gabrus & Adam Pally have that magic chemistry. And they are fun as hell. What a fun pilot episode. Love to see that High & Mighty podcast energy translate to the screen.

Fun & Relaxed
chrispaveymastering18 July 2022
Gabrus & Pally are funny right from the off, and are genuinely being themselves, which is refreshing to see in these types of shows. No over hype and staged moments. Fast paced and interesting with zingers and one liners thrown in for good measure.

Low concept, high entertainment and chilled viewing. Give these guys more money and another series.

We need more of this!

Super fun show with lots of personality
john-charin15 July 2022
Great seeing these two hilarious comedians/buddies having lots of fun and it feels authentic. This is the least contrived travel and party show in that it seems like we're really following them around as they do whatever they want. True TV seems to have given them a surprisingly long leash to talk about and do almost whatever they want, so instead of just good comedians hosting a premade show, it feels more like a show fully made by good comedians. And frankly they just seem like a really good hang, haha. Lots of fun, looking forward to more.

Disappointing & Predictable
icu_rns20 August 2022
I think TruTV must have been hoping that these two friends would be as bankable as the Impractical Jokers. They were wrong. These guys aren't funny, and they spend way too much time laughing at each other's unfunny "jokes". The rest of their time is spent eating, drinking, and getting high. In every show. It's boring, disappointing, predictable, and a complete waste of time. They make men look bad! 👎

The best Jerry. The best...
acingoranelli13 October 2022
I didn't know what to expect but I fell in love with the show and its chemistry. There is something special about two middle aged men in a full fledged bromance. Especially the banter and zingers. I caught myself laughing out loud and rewinding parts because I couldn't believe fast it got me. The locations and sites were different from other shows and the genuineness of the two was authentic. I made a whole bucket list of places I want to go visit from their adventures. Thanks TrueTV for producing this show and beggin you please come out with season two. My wife won't give me a weekend pass so I live vicariously through these two knuckleheads!

Absolutely Hilarious!!
spkemo25 February 2023
Travel shows are a dime a dozen but few give you actual personalities. This show allows 2 extremely funny people to just be themselves. Following around these guys a treat. Uncensored, and truly fun. Are they vulgar? Sure. That what makes it fantastic. It truly is 2 friends, and a network allowing them to be just as they would without cameras. They eat, drink, smoke, and just be silly. More networks should allow funny people to just be funny. I cant recommend this enough. It is a real treat. How this doesn't already have a second season is beyond me. It's a cheap show to make with fantastic content. Please give me more!!

Fun show..
ckarvanek25 July 2022
..and these guys are great. I just wished they focused more on the drinks and food. Rather than the FaceTiming family, goofing around, pointless scenes. (Having nothing to do with partying in a specific city) The show could literally be cut in half and be just as good.

Would give it a negative 101 if I could
gttrdwx29 July 2022
TruTV is really scraping the bottom of the "talent" barrel here. Actually, they've pulled out the barrel that the talent barrel was stacked on top of and are currently scraping the bottom of that. There's no talent in this show whatsoever. It's not entertaining. The hosts have no redeemable qualities, they're extremely unlikable (one stiff as a board, the other obnoxious). There's no plot at all. The content is just a glorified travel blog, but a somehow underwhelming one even with all of the production capability. I don't know which executive at TruTV OK'd this show, but they must have been coming off a multi-week bender when they did. No one in their right mind could think any aspect of this show has any promise. I would truly rather watch the Lardashians.

Best friends laugh at their own jokes. Anyone else? Nope.
saintdev-3227823 July 2022
Infantile jokes, uninteresting places. What's those m0r0ns are grinning at? I'm no idea. It's a bad sign when a comedian is playing with his own sh!tty jokes. It's a waste of time for bad series.

Sorry - I only made it to the middle of the first episode.

Why?
NullUnit5 August 2022
Why is this a series?

Nothing against the guys.. but why on Earth is this a series???

There's practically zero entertainment value in the episodes... watch 2 guys drink and eat in different locations... it's boring.

Sure, the guys seem to enjoy it, but then... wouldn't everyone enjoy it if some tV network paid for them to do the same?

And when did "party" (as a verb) come to mean just having a couple/few drinks with ONE friend? I mean, it's not like they are seeking out clubs or locations where groups gather.... nope it's just the two of them eating and drinking.
