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
Leave room for the caller to shine!
I’ve been listening to this show since the beginning, it never fails to make me laugh.
However, dare I say Jake’s mom is onto something. When there’s a bit of room for the caller to talk, it sets up Jake and Gareth with even better opportunities to riff and include the caller into the jokes.
While having celebrity guests is fun, I’d love to have more episodes sprinkled in without guests with more of a focus on the caller. I can’t count how many times the unique and colourful personalities of the callers have made me chortle out loud.
Obsessed
What a great idea for a podcast this is - I’m so sick of true crime!! Also I have a massive crush on Gareth
