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.Want to call in?

    Duo-ling crow best ever!
    This episode is the funniest! Mostly because Andrew Santino is not there. Nick Kroll and Jake killed it! Need more.

    Who needs Better Help when you have Where Here To Help
    I listen to quite a few pods, but there are only 3 I *absolutely* look forward to and need in my life and WHTH is one of them. Special shout outs to Justin Long and Nick Kroll for 2 of the funniest episodes in recent weeks. Jake’s laughter is utterly contagious and that’s a medicine everyone needs in life! Keep it up guys.

    the best podcast EVER
    truly my favorite podcast
  • benmelson
    Amazing Until…
    Incredible talent on this pod and the first year was some of the better podcasting of the entire year I would argue. Then they allowed white girls to take over the whole dynamic and it’s lame, over the top in a bad way and just not good. It don’t hit anymore. It used to hit hard.
  • Donotdownloadyouarenotsafe
    Thank you
    Thank you for being the light in such dark times. Putting your podcast on is the ultimate comfort show and is a nice break from the constant calamities of life. I’m guaranteed to smile and laugh when I put you guys on.
  • crizzlecrave
    You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll hyperventilate
    This is the best podcast ever. Not only does it make me laugh so hard but it’s also incredibly sweet because the hosts are legitimately invested and empathetic. I recommend it to everyone I know. They all agree. 12/10
  • J. C. L.
    Great pod, but…
    Jake, please stop talking over the callers. You get carried away easily and it makes the podcast less enjoyable.
  • Tepases521
    The dam adds
    Love the show but god dam the ads are long and way too many
  • josiegiiiiiiiiiiirl

    this was the funniest epi hands down
  • Dickslapyobitxh
    Love this show!
    The episode with Jake Long had me dying!
  • Chloedougdoug
    lol
    Literally so funny I have to try not to laugh
  • Mrs_Shif
    Hilarious and solid advice
    One of my favorite comedy podcasts. Love the banter with the hosts, guest hosts and the callers. One small suggestion would be to cut time of each call down. Some calls drag on and the amount of advice being thrown out it too long. Follow-ups are great!

    What the world needs
    This is truly pure fun in podcast form. It is hilarious, it is sweet and meaningful, it is completely unpredictable in the best way. Never has anything else caused me to completely lose it and laugh uncontrollably in so many public situations - and it comes out of no where. I’m not talking about a good chuckle. You honestly can’t prepare for when the show will break you and you will bend at the waist, almost fall to your knees laughing so hard you instantly seem insane to everyone around you. It’s my favorite podcast of all time and just about the most enjoyable way to spend an hour. Please never stop 😆 And, yes, Gareth, the one sip is wild
  • Kitty1600
    Hilarious and Great!
    I listen as soon as every episode comes out. I have to try to hold my laughs in when I listen to the pod at work because I literally laugh out loud. The show just keeps getting better.
  • AyLex23
    my favorite podcast
    I wanted to write something funny but instead I’m going with honest. This is truly my favorite podcast out right now. I’m in a pretty difficult season of life right now where even my comfort tv shows aren’t necessarily doing the trick when I’m feeling down. This show makes me laugh out loud, sometimes until I have tears in my eyes. Thank you Jake and Gareth
  • K.S. in the PNW
    Jack is the WORST
    Wonderful podcast. Super funny. Makes my week better. Why not back your caller, Alex, better? Important to know Jack is the WORST member of the team 🏑
  • elissafjeldheim
    Great light hearted podcast
    I am currently on maternity leave and spend a ton of time alone with my baby. This podcast has kept me entertained and kept my mood up when I’m in the trenches with a fussy newborn! Def a better choice for my mental health than binging true crime 😆
  • J-MaCisNumber1
    Neighbor snitching on the tree house!
    The question should have been how do we get even. I’m not saying burn her house down but I’m also not saying it. This is my favorite podcast keep it up.

    The Ballad of Mrs. Gingerbread
    I keep holding out for the end to see if the Ballad of Mrs. Gingerbread plays, and of course it does, then I’m stuck in a trance. I can’t bring myself to change it. I listen to the whole ballad and sing along. And now I catch myself singing it all the time whilst doing things. I think this is going to help my pet styling career tremendously. Well done. Never stop. Long live Mrs. Gingerbread.
  • MotherOfPods1
    I cannot stop singing…
    “Oh how I wuv you, Mrs. Gingerbread.”

    Trump supporters?
    Hey, why are you running ads for the top companies that blatantly donated to trump’s campaign? The florist ad is not only very bad, but also supports fascism. Cool. Makes it hard to support you.
