Heads up! Consommé jelly is just cold broth- gelatin comes from the bones used making broth. All homemade meat broth turns into jelly when refrigerated. And all jelly contains bones.

Delightful!

Delightful host and podcast all around. Bridger’s voice, sensibility, and word choice are just wonderful.

Love everything about it

So enjoy that this podcast has celebrities on and they just get into the most random topics, instead of promoting new projects or talking about the industry. You really get to just know the guests as people and Bridger is the perfect witty, droll interviewer. I love his humor! So happy to listen to each episode! Thanks Bridger and team!

This is every relationship I’ve ever had

It took me too long to figure out Bridger and Jimmy are literally boyfriends. No wonder they keep snipping at each other- reminds me of how I usually tease people I’m dating. Y’all will be together for 1000 years.

I wish Bridger was my friend so I could call him up to chat

Honestly, this podcast is such a delight. I found it last year and have been working my way through the back catalogue. I’ll be so sad when I’m fully caught up.

Jim!

I’m sorry to disrespect you Bridger but the episode with Jimmy Smagula is one of the funniest yet. The two of you going back and forth, I was crying laughing. I thoroughly enjoy this podcast and I know I will always get a good laugh in. Thank you for all that you do!

I want to be Bridger’s friend

OK Bridger, hear me out… And I got nothing. I am listening to you and Karen Kilgariff try to figure out who JoJo Siwa is after watching one dance video. You are so incredibly close! She did bust out and is living her best life. Thank you for making me laugh every episode. EDIT: Can Jimmy please be a permanent guest. 5 minutes of the two of you bickering…best radio ever!! 💖💖

One of my favorites!

Let me start by saying that I adore this podcast. Listening to Jimmy Smagula’s episode pushed me over the edge, and I knew I needed to write a review. This episode was… an absolute delight. Listening to the banter between Jimmy and Bridger had me cackling in the car worrying about how crazy I looked to the people next to me in traffic. I absolutely loved the energy of this episode. More Jimmy please!!!

Smagula on the show?

Jim was worth the wait!

Thank you for sharing Jim with the Pod. Laughed so hard I had to park the car of a bit.

Love ya!

Nothing gets me more excited on a Thursday morning than listening to Bridger’s calming voice and wit. As a former Mormon myself, I resonate so much with his takes. I also can’t get enough of hearing him say “Reach Out.”

Classy. Classiest? Not enough, clamegalatious. What a great whit, voice and talent! Always love listening

Funny

Thursday mornings are spent listening to the newest hilarious episode. Doesn’t matter if you don’t know who the guests are, they are normally really funny and they talk about random topics. I laugh and learn. What else could you ask for?

Love this show!

Delightful and funny every episode.

Perfection.

Bridger’s wit, charm and warm disdain for most things is the perfect combination. Each and every episode is a delight! Thank you for such a brilliant show. We’re lucky to have you.

Solid Gold!

Bridger is an amazing conversationalist, eloquent with his words, and absolutely hysterical! This podcast is akin to sitting down with your best friend to a coffee table brunch and spending hours enjoying great conversation and lots of laughs. My favorite part is how verklempt he sounds at the end as he begs us to move on with our days and our lives but is sure to tell us he loves us. Truly, this podcast is a treat! Give it a listen!

Bridger is a gem.

Hands down my favorite podcast. I wish there were more people like Bridger in the world. And I’m so sorry your dog passed, Bridger.

Cookies!

Petition for Bridger to make public his cookie guide to NYC 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love Bridger

Not a show goes by that I don’t laugh out loud and scare the dog. Bridger has a way with a phrase that makes me laugh. Apparently he makes a lot of people laugh. Great podcast total holiday from life.

Your podcast made me think something was wrong with my car

Recording outside? Fabulous idea, lovely Birds, bugs, etc, the sounds of nature. Thinking something is wrong with my car due to these sounds? Perfect gift 10/10, brought some needed stress to my day about a potential financial pit. 5/5 stars this podcast is delightful
Shelley from GA

A delight

Look forward to this podcast each week! A true delight!
gfvygnot

Hilarious and good for my soul

I can’t get enough of this podcast. I laugh out loud at every episode. It’s a wonderful refresh after I’ve consumed too much true crime.

Perfection

Absolutely no notes… perfect

Peak Somnolence

A collection of gentle conversations between a kind, former resident of Utah and a parade of charming visitors who bring him gifts.

5 stars gifted

Wow, just wow. Bridger invites you into his show with a warm hug. But don't get too comfy the show can go awry with the wrong gift. Love the show, love the man!

All Time Fave

Bridger is so delightful! His voice sounds like Christmas, which is fitting given the name of the pod. I look forward to every episode and every slightly manic white glove gift demonstration.
AmyTheG

I live for new episodes!

Bridger is hands down the best host in podcasting. This show has me laughing out loud on a regular basis. Bridger is super relatable and as a Listener, I feel like he is an old friend. The show’s format is perfect and moves along at a great pace, although with some guests the chemistry is so great I could listen for hours. This show is the gift that keeps on giving.

Over the moon about it

Love Bridger and his humor, but is this a comedy podcast or a covid vaccine podcast? 🤤 Hint: it’s actually a podcast about a young boy and his mother 5 stars
lmk54321

Nice lighthearted break from the world

I really enjoy this podcast even though I don’t always agree with Bridger’s hot takes. I mean small plates are a treasure. The 5 star rating is because I can’t thank him enough for articulating the reason Cards Against Humanity is the worst and for ending every episode exactly how I awkwardly end every phone call I’ve ever been on.
RitaManeata

Truly a Gift!

After a recent severe episode with anxiety, I’ve realised I can’t listen to true crime podcasts all of the time. I have been winding my way through a series of comedy podcasts to keep the anxious thoughts at bay. Since I’m already an MFM and Buried Bones listener, I Said No Gifts! was a logical choice. I have immediately fallen in love with Bridger and treasure each episode. I think the best part is when the guest gives him a gift that they are truly passionate about and we, as the listener, get to learn about an interest we may not have been aware of. Don’t think I won’t start collecting sodas and too hats. Thank you Exactly Right and Bridger for creating this work!

Best Podcast ever

AuntyRaff

What an absolute delight

I cannot get enough
SeizeThePlight

What an absolutely splendid white person!

So the Mormon church has a billion-dollar database of all our genetic history! Well I say if that’s what they want for giving us Bridger Winegar, it was a worthwhile trade 😌

Give it a listen

Simply the best host and good laughs

GIFT

Much like the game Gift or a Curse, this is not subjective. It is objective FACT that this podcast is 5/5 stars.

Impeccable

Each week I find myself waiting with bated breath to listen to the latest episode of I Said No Gifts. The host, Bridger Winegar, is constantly leaving the listener wondering about the leak in his home, his dental work, or more recently, the happenings surrounding jury duty. If any of these enthralling topics are screaming your name, what are you waiting for? Give I Said No Gifts a listen!
