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.

    Love the show. I am a new listener and this show has made the long commutes so enjoyable. Best podcast around.

    Note to : Fix your app. I should be able to binge the episodes from the beginning of time without spending a minute and a half scrolling to the bottom of the episode list. We’ve been in the world of podcasts for too long to not be to simply start from where I left off. kthxbye.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CAT AND RAT: It's From A Movie & Snuggle Struggle
Q: So that was going to be my question.
Molly asks how to deal with her husband's constant snuggling song parodies. The hosts suggest counter-songs, a fictional school warning, or interrupting him with a squirt bottle.
CAT AND RAT: It's From A Movie & Snuggle Struggle
Q: I'm just looking for advice on how to approach this with my kids, because they see it every single time they go to school or we go to church.
Cat and Gareth suggest describing the skeleton display vaguely as something from a movie, avoiding its title, and distracting the children by changing the subject.
336: Difficult Positions & Jazz Santa (with Andy Richter)
Q: So I'm wondering what his four adult children could do to sort of celebrate and have fun with Jazz Santa as a family.
The hosts recommend collaborating with her siblings and father on a festive annual Jazz Santa show, concentrating the performance into a planned event instead of allowing the character to dominate the entire month.
336: Difficult Positions & Jazz Santa (with Andy Richter)
Q: How do I ask my dad, who I love very much, and I'm extremely grateful towards him for allowing me to live in his house rent free, how do I ask him to please stop getting crumbs on the sheets and maybe to open a window if he's going to, you know, well, take a stinky dump?
The hosts mostly recommend making the room unappealing with odd props and messes so his father stops using it, rather than directly confronting him. Jay decides to try leaving strange items and smearing candy on the toilet seat.
337: A Bit Of A Playboy & Chuck Norris Sits To Pee (with Utkarsh Ambudkar and Steve Berg)
Q: How do I get all men to sit while peeing instead of standing?
The group advises Rachel to state the rule explicitly during class introductions and use humorous, prominent signs that remind customers to sit.
