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
Love it
I’m not usually a fan of podcasts that include listener calls/voicemails, but the lads are just so naturally funny, with great chemistry & such a comfortable friendship, that it all works together 👍🏻
Love this show
Hi! I’m so glad I found this show because it gives me something to look forward to twice a week and I don’t think I have ever laughed as much listening to a podcast in a long time.
The cohosts are incredibly down to earth and funny as fook. The “fake Jake” episode was a highlight but the D&D caller made me giggle.
Thanks so much for making this show. Long may it continue. Can people from Ireland phone in?? Because I might have to one day when I get the courage to. ❤️
