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.

Seriously the best new pod.
Professional comedians riffing, oddly funny
Gareth Reynolds (From New Girl. The Dollop Podcast. The Koh Samui International Podcast Festival. Many kids parties as Spider-Man.) and another guy. Riff on the stories of callers asking for help. Sometimes they have guests and sometimes their producer chimes in. They make it work. Give it a listen, but not with the kids.
