32 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.

Hilarious

This is seriously the funniest podcast! I have many pods I listen to, but this podcast has quickly shot up to my absolute favorite! It’s so funny, like cry laugh funny. I really like the callers questions, how they aren’t what you’d usually hear, which can get meh. I also really like how you hear back from most of the callers for follow ups. Keep cranking these out guys, they’re gold!
