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.

Just lolzzz on lolzzz
What a good time! I can tell they are honing the pod while remaining wild and hilarious. A treasure for sure!
Enough already
I love the show. I have listened to it since the beginning of the podcast. I’ve really noticed the evolution of the quality of the episodes.
However, the episode where there’s 45 minutes of hero worshipping Nikki Glaser was enough to turn anyone into a hater. Boring, and she comes across as really I’m all that. I do love hearing origin stories of other comedians, but this didn’t ring true.
No Notes
This podcast is LIFE. You have me dying laughing while working, gardening, shopping… I cannot stop listening !! Just discovered it and have gone all the way back and listening from episode 1. MUCH LOVE FROM 🇨🇦
