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.

I love this podcast. It’s a lovely slice of levity, from banter to follow-ups. Not bothered by ads or toll requests. The laidback fun energy that used to be found in bars. Keep up the great work boys!
I haven’t laughed this hard in so long! Every time I think I’m done laughing, they say something even funnier. I hope to call in one day and have one of my own problems solved by these geniuses.
Absolutely hilarious and engaging. Jake Johnson’s tangents and his laugh have me rolling every episode. Every other podcast I listen to regularly is true crime; this is the bit of light I need to break up all the gloom and doom.
Literally the only thing making me laugh some days (I work in kids mental health so that says it all right there). Not only are you all funny and ridiculous, you are kind and great examples of what it looks like to be wonderful dads, uncles, and husbands. Y’all actually makes me feel better about the world, while belly laughing at the same time. So freaking excited for season 2, I love you all!!
I really want to like this show. Early episodes were sweet and earnest and totally bananas. Now, the hosts are meaner, they’re clearly doing stuff for “production” and have veered from therapy lite to shaming and bullying guests. It’s less fun.
The show was so hilarious and unhinged with the old producer, and now it has become so vanilla due to Natalie. I feel like the absurdity has been wiped out and the « advice » is taken too seriously.
