Jake Johnson (New Girl, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) and Gareth Reynolds (The Dollop) don't feel qualified to give strangers good advice. Most of their friendship over the last 15 years has been based around dumb bits, but they do (for better or worse) want to try to help people out. Like your friendly local bartender or your tipsy uncle at a family gathering, Jake and Gareth are on the caller's side and trying to help. Each episode, the guys make several pitches to callers (whose questions range from trivial to serious) with their best attempts of advice. They can't promise their suggestions will be perfect, but it will be the best they've got. Jake and Gareth also occasionally bring on a friend, peer or even an expert to help along the way.

Customer Reviews
My favorite show!
Agree with reviews to keep the formula as it was. The show really stands out and gives the audience a chance to shine and feel part of the show. The show is at its best when we get to hear the advice and interactions with callers. We already have have plenty of celebrity interview focused podcasts!
This podcast is GENIUS
Thought provoking and ridiculous at the same time. Laugh out loud funny! Keep ‘em coming! Review Edit: I still fully support my words above and even will add its my second all time favorite podcast ever. However I completely concur with Jake’s mom thoughts on the show; her insight is spot on. The show concept is a banger but maybe try not saying the first thing that pops into your head every-time to a point the long time fan listener with is uncomfortable by the way the caller was treated. Your mom said it best , “I mean, i love ya to death son…but sometimes ya talk to much and then it gets weird for everyone.” 🤣❤️ That said. It’s still a great. One of the best
Literally LOL
absolutely love the show. One of the few shows I actually laugh out loud ever episode! Y’all are the best.
