105 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

I am obsessed with this podcast. I am normally a true crime podcast listener but needed a change for my mental health. This podcast makes me laugh out loud. I’ve almost had to pull over before to avoid an accident 🤣 thank you for this!!

every episode is a winner

I love the journey these guys go on during a call. the scenarios or bits they come up with as soon as a detail is revealed has me cry laughing every time. their chemistry together is comedy gold, firing off each other. the best weird advice is given to such weird unique calls!! I look forward to each episode!

Omg so obsessed with this podcast!!! My partner and I listen to it while we drive and make dinner and we die laughing everytime!!! We also became Patreon members so we could listen to more content! We love the new addition to the interviews with guests at the end — so dope to hear about behind the scenes of everyone, particularly New Girl guests!!! Thank you Jake & Gareth for all the laugh out loud moments!!!
