About We're Here to Help
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.

[…] Go on. And so, like, for example, today he calls me and he's like, hey, tater tot. And I'm like, oh, yeah. And then the problem is when the customers get in the car with me, they're calling me these names. Because he's telling them to call me these names. Walk me through this one again. You work at a Honda dealership. A guy calls you food names. So he's got it. Damien's got to take someone home. Like if, you know, like their cars get in service, then they don't have a car. Damien drives them home under the name. Exactly. And so who calls you the food names? Your boss. No, it's a guy named Paul. […]
