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
Watch Self Reliance
This show is amazing and everyone should go watch Self Reliance. It's really good.
Stop the interruptions!!
Genuine fan of both these guys, love them, thrilled when they started a podcast. However, they interrupt the guest SO MUCH it drives me nuts. I know it's a comedy podcast and they need to do their little bits but for gods sake, let the people speak for more than 3 seconds at a time. Also, Jake, you don't need to recap the call 17 times during the call. We're capable of following along despite the constant interruptions.
This podcast brings me so much joy
Listening to Gareth and Jake pitch solutions to solve people’s problems takes me back to hanging out with my friends or older cousins and shooting the bull over many a beer. It brings so much pure, nostalgic joy for a certain period of my life and the people who were in it. So if you are a human of a “certain age” and you need a distraction from life’s responsibilities, a reminder that you once had a lot of fun before sleep and being high functioning at 8:00 a.m. meetings became higher priorities than weeknights out with your gang, follow the podcast. Give it a listen. You won’t regret it.
