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 ca... more

Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 14.5k ratings
  • Has its moments but this guy's constant name dropping is getting embarrassing and really annoying. I'm done listening and unsubscribing because half the show is yapping about stuff we don't care about or all the tons of ads. The only reason I did listen to was the callers, and the results. It's 50% just filler now.

  • Still killing it

    Love the show, great show, great guys, best guys. However, if you all stuff your sloppy maws with Ultras and “slop, slop, slop” into the mic’s again, I’m out.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

318: Meth Tower & Pits Balls Butt
Q: What should Meg do about the meth-tower situation and potential confrontation with the suspect?
Focus on safety first, gather non-emergency support, take controlled photos for documentation, and plan phased actions before direct confrontation; involve authorities only when appropriate and safe.
316: Dick Tracy & Snow Goose Affair
Q: If you had to choose between two pitches, which would you try first?
Start with the Dick Tracy board as the core idea, then optionally layer in a follow-up showing the transition to the new boat with limited personal exposure.
316: Dick Tracy & Snow Goose Affair
Q: What can I do to get out of this board without making it a bigger deal?
Create a Dick Tracy–themed board that remains non-intrusive, and consider a gentle live reveal with a later, less invasive follow-up about the new boat.
CAT AND RAT: Pleasure Center & Sleeping With A Nightmare
Q: What is the core problem Lynn is facing on this trip?
Lynn is dealing with her husband Perry's night-time noises—squeaks, moans, and occasional shouting—that risk disrupting a shared Italian Airbnb trip and straining their relationship; the hosts guide on practical, boundary-setting steps.
313: This Is Fish, This Is Family, This Is Wonderful
Q: What is the situation with Beth and who has the Marlin now?
Beth is currently with Meredith and Caleb, who have the Marlin on their wall, while Bill and his wife want it back and have claimed a verbal agreement. The hosts guide a negotiation and propose a structured, audience-driven resolution.
