82 episodes

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.

Funniest podcast ever

I never write podcast reviews, but after listening to the meet cute episode I have to say, I truly love this podcast!! You guys really outdid yourselves this time!! I’ve listened to all the episodes and no podcast makes me laugh more. Love the tangents, love the chaos, love the advice! Don’t listen to the negative comments and don’t ever change, you’re perfect just the way you are 🫶🏻

Repetitive

I love Gareth so much. He's the funniest person alive. However, Jake never listens to the caller and always has the same exact approach to every call. I'm leaving a 5 star as some feedback because I love you guys. But hopefully this helps....

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!
