Imagine being Lindsey Graham, F*cking Mike Huckabee in a hunting tent while pretending you’re not gay—dream big, girl!

·1 hr 6 min·4 clips

They insult the Nazi march for using a German logo and hiding their faces.

1. Not Well | A Comedy Podcast centers on Bobby and Jim talking through Christmas timing, email etiquette, job interviews, Columbus politics, and gay life. 2. Bobby is the host who describes a drone-company interview, and Jim is the other host who pushes back on his complaints and jokes about the city. 3. The episode asks what work, community, and moving away from Columbus are actually worth right now. 4. Bobby says the drone job was in Hilliard near Camp Bow Wow, upstairs, and had no windows. 5. He says the role paid a $36K base, plus 3% commission, and involved a lot of calling. 6. He compares that setup to selling to the U.S. military and says the risk is too high at that salary. 7. The hosts keep returning to internal corporate postings and the idea that many jobs are fake or unstable. 8. They argue that most emails and most corporate meetings are unnecessary, and Bobby says he wants meeting transcripts instead of live meetings. 9. The conversation shifts to Columbus, where they say Nazis marched near land grant and Virginia West. 10. They mock the group’s covered faces, U-Hauls, and logo choice as ugly and disconnected. 11. They also discuss Trixie and Katya’s sold-out theater show and say the performers probably only saw the front row because the lights were so bright. 12. That contrast matters to them because a podcast act filled a theater while the Nazi march drew only about 20 people. 13. The hosts say Columbus used to feel promising when the Short North was building up and felt safer at night. 14. They say the city now feels expensive, stagnant, and hard to leave because of mortgage rates and house prices. 15. Bobby says he is tired of hearing Columbus described as having nothing to offer, but he also says Kansas City has more going on. 16. The episode also gets into gay identity, with repeated jokes that no one wants to be gay and that no one feels especially celebrated. 17. The tone is fast, blunt, and conversational, with Bobby and Jim interrupting themselves and jumping from one topic to another. 18. The format is mostly two hosts riffing, with tangents about politics, work, food prices, and nightlife. 19. Listeners who like gay-culture banter and Columbus-specific commentary will get the most out of this. 20. Listeners looking for calm discussion or a tight structure should probably skip it.

As heard by us

Holiday stress, election fatigue, and petty social annoyance drive a fast, shaggy, very funny hang.

Not Well opens in pre-holiday scramble mode, and that energy carries the episode. Bobby and Jim move fast from Christmas timing to election fatigue to the absurdity of a polite email greeting, and the real pleasure is how easily they keep setting each other up.
