Gareth's story about wearing the clothes that were mysteriously delivered to his house reminds me of the episode on New Girl when Nick wears the women's trench coat that was accidentally delivered to the loft. He just wore it without questioning it.
1st caller here’s how you play it: grandmas dead at work. But your parents are divorced, they split when you were young, so you actually have 4 sets of grandparents that you were really close with… boom 3 extra funerals you have that you can use for time off. This will help you for when your grandma actually dies and you need time off.
My thoughts exactly, and both parents had lots of siblings but I’d definitely have called in and used a fan to disguise my voice for this call. Write a thank you email and tell them there’s coffee and donuts in the break room.
Dig a hole and make that trampoline ground level. Lets the neighbor enjoy her life and puts your mind at ease. Love this pod. Thanks for bringing the joy!
the whole first call i was screaming lesbian grandma. you have three grandmas and maybe even a 4th step grandma from your biological grandfather remarrying years ago
Gareth looks so good this episode! We need to have a call-in speed dating episode where singles call in and gareth has a conversation with Jake lurking as a 3rd wheel! Then he can reach out if he’s interested.
For the first caller, he could use PTO instead of bereavement if one of his grandmas pass. That way he’s paying a price of limited vacation time to clear his guilty conscience. When he returns from the time off for the funeral, Sarah will ask him how his vacation was, and all he has to say is, “It was nice, I just spent time with my family.” No lie needed.
The neighbor from the 2nd call must've been mindblowingly hot for Jake to go from "what a weirdo" to "hang on, your kids might actually be ruining her life"
I just hit this part after seeing your comment earlier, and I really cracked up at it 😅 I switched to Spotify after seeing Kevin's face, but I had to come back to TH-cam to tell you it really paid off hours after reading it. I thought the same thing 😂
It might be good (if it's not too difficult) to have one of those pop-up links on the video that people can click to go to the original call when doing follow-ups. I'm not sure if it's worth the effort or not, just an idea!
So under the video there is a description and in the description they always link the original call if it's a follow up. So your dreams have already come true haha. If you look in this video's description you will see the link you're wanting for this call there. I don't think that many people ever read the description. But hope this helps :)
Jakey J putting the whole REU (Rogan Extended Universe) on blast for thinking that they’re the pioneers of tax avoidance is my favorite moment from this show so far 😂
31:46 This has been my favorite part of this standout episode. “What is it, an elephant’s vagina?!” 😂 Reminds me of the episode of New Girl when Nick found Jess’s drawer of night peanuts and asks, “What are you, a zoo elephant?!”
Ok fine, you win, I have come over to TH-cam just to see Kevin's smile. Also, I see you. I see your game. These visual bits on an audio podcast. I feel manipulated.
I’ve seen that smile before. That’s the smile of a producer that has the striking and ground game to easily defeat two older podcast hosts in a cage fight.
As someone who goes out of their way to get along with and give their neighbors leeway when it comes to things that normally cause conflict... I've never hated anyone more than the neighbor that put in a trampoline. If you live within screaming distance of your neighbors - don't put in a trampoline. The noise from their 3 kids and EVERY KID IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.. constantly for years was fucking torture.
As an HR person, I wouldn't recommend using bereavement because that could be a problem. To use bereavement you might need to provide proof too. Just use PTO or unpaid time. I hope everything worked out okay for that caller.
Regarding the fan name. I don't think Helper makes sense since we're being helped, not the ones helping. How bout The Helpless or Lost Ones or something along those lines?
I feel like the 2nd caller was completely ignored by them in the follow up. Like the neighbor is being passive aggressive. So yes cookies but if she’s still being passively rude then what?
1st caller: begin peppering into convos that you had really open minded grandparents that were polyamorous. Boom. You can have as many grandparents as you want.
It's Austin. Relax. And don't put thoughts of body shame into the kids' heads. Finally, it's a trampolene. In 2 years, the new will have worn off & it won't be an issue.
First caller, that's a lesson in saying less. "Death in the family, " "grandparent passed," etc. Second caller, you might definitely be the annoying neighbor. Trampolines and kids are loud and you're blaring The National? Stop lurking - it might help make you dislike your neighbor less.
2 callers neighbors need to plant hedges for their privacy. If you want to be nekked and not offend people that’s on you to block out kids eyes. If not you end up on a list and being legally obligated to introduce yourself to the neighborhood.

I mean, jake calling people babe just works. It's like he was born for it 😂

1000% perfect
I think the fans should be called the "Helpless" because you guys are here to help
Totally agree. Helper never made sense to me since we're not the ones helping. Plus Helpless has more comedic value anyway.
We are the unhelped
I agree!
Dig a hole and make that trampoline ground level. Lets the neighbor enjoy her life and puts your mind at ease.
Love this pod. Thanks for bringing the joy!
the whole first call i was screaming lesbian grandma. you have three grandmas and maybe even a 4th step grandma from your biological grandfather remarrying years ago
Literally almost spit out my drink at the thought of someone screaming lesbian grandma lmfao perfect solution though !
34:57 “the irony that a bush will solve this….” 😂💀
babes, the grandma role play was definitely one of the top five. just flaunting those improv skills.
Gareth looks so good this episode! We need to have a call-in speed dating episode where singles call in and gareth has a conversation with Jake lurking as a 3rd wheel! Then he can reach out if he’s interested.
He's talked about his girlfriend on other pods.
For the first caller, he could use PTO instead of bereavement if one of his grandmas pass. That way he’s paying a price of limited vacation time to clear his guilty conscience.
When he returns from the time off for the funeral, Sarah will ask him how his vacation was, and all he has to say is, “It was nice, I just spent time with my family.” No lie needed.
Smart move
The best answer.
The neighbor from the 2nd call must've been mindblowingly hot for Jake to go from "what a weirdo" to "hang on, your kids might actually be ruining her life"
That's what I was thinking. The 180 was quick 😂

Jakey J putting the whole REU (Rogan Extended Universe) on blast for thinking that they’re the pioneers of tax avoidance is my favorite moment from this show so far 😂
I love their follow up with the last caller, Corrine. They were so supportive and awesome.
Jake’s laugh is healing
31:46 This has been my favorite part of this standout episode. “What is it, an elephant’s vagina?!” 😂 Reminds me of the episode of New Girl when Nick found Jess’s drawer of night peanuts and asks, “What are you, a zoo elephant?!”
I’ve been forever obsessed whenever Michael Keaton says “babe” in movies, and them saying it repeatedly was wonderful haha
🎉 hey baby 😂 ! I really like the interactions with Kevin , great producer!
Thank you for all the helping it really makes my Monday ❤
Best start of my week is opening the TH-cam app knowing there’s gonna be a Were Here to Help waiting for me
That’s awesome for Corinne!!👏👏 Hilarious to me that all a woman needs to overcome fear of rejection is that they might literally be dying😂
1st caller, with two grandmas comes 2 great-grandmas could go the route that 90+ great grandma passed.
This is my current favorite podcast, thanks for the YT uploads fellas
Love the babe bit
Another great episode 😊😂
Love it when they get Kevin involved as it always ends up being over something so funny 🤣 🤣🤣
I love you all to the point where I get excited it’s Monday. Doing the lord’s work my guys…. Many thanks
Congratulations Corinne!!!!!!!!!!!
I fuckin love you guys so much. This podcast has been a God send for all the goofy shit that’s been going on in my life
Can you guys please get Adam Ray as Dr. Phil as a guest? What better guest could there possibly be on an advice show than Dr. Phil?
Your guys improve banter is amazing!
Jake Johnson is so quick!!! And funny!! BTW, loving the guys curls.
Ok fine, you win, I have come over to TH-cam just to see Kevin's smile. Also, I see you. I see your game. These visual bits on an audio podcast. I feel manipulated.
I WISH I had a problem to call in for, literally hope something crazy happens in my life for me to call and get advice on
Saw an old comment begging Jake to stop touching the bottom of his shoes..... it's literally all I see now 🥴🤣😂
I may or may not have even emailed the show to mention the shoe touching to Kevin 😂
@@seekaysee406 lmfao!!!! That’s great! Someone had to 🤣😂🤣
I’ve seen that smile before. That’s the smile of a producer that has the striking and ground game to easily defeat two older podcast hosts in a cage fight.
30:54 jake’s faceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee omg incredible 🤣😂😭🤣😂😭🤣😂😭😭🤣😂
Love it when it's just these two babes 😂
Jakey my man... you should try it sometime. that facial may unlock something in you. love that Gareth is a connoisseur.

How bout The Helpless or Lost Ones or something along those lines?
I’m dying. This is just great.
I had three grandma's growing up, all of pretty equal grandma status, including my mom's step mom
Jake it’s “Lorelai” 😂 and please, please untangle your headphones lol
This is totally the social pressure and people do not talk about that it is not weird to not have sex
And also good luck in your new Era 1:01:07
30:52 jakes face 😂
I feel like the 2nd caller was completely ignored by them in the follow up. Like the neighbor is being passive aggressive. So yes cookies but if she’s still being passively rude then what?
I've earned my red wings Gareth, didn't set out to earn them but bloody well happens sometimes.
He doesn’t have to tell them why he’s taking time off later if/when another grandma dies. Or just say vacation?
the second caller is a bit judgemental! LOL let this other lady ride!
Love the podcast!
First caller, maybe call out for a “memorial” when the second passes? Or you are going to help with family stuff not that you’re personally affected?
John's boss sees this 🤣
Or at least one of his coworkers 😬
My grandparents divorced before I was born so my step grandma is just like a grandma for me 😂
30:52 and now Im dead
Anyone else think Gareth looks kind of um… hot? with his out of the shower curly wet hair? I’m just saying, the look is working for you babes
Agreed babe
Lol cracking up with Jake in his take on Californians going to Texas! You can tell this annoys him
1st caller: begin peppering into convos that you had really open minded grandparents that were polyamorous. Boom. You can have as many grandparents as you want.
It's Austin. Relax. And don't put thoughts of body shame into the kids' heads. Finally, it's a trampolene. In 2 years, the new will have worn off & it won't be an issue.
Their description of hetero sex at the end is so depressing 😂

That first guy missed an opportunity to name his boss Jimantha... just saying
2 callers neighbors need to plant hedges for their privacy. If you want to be nekked and not offend people that’s on you to block out kids eyes. If not you end up on a list and being legally obligated to introduce yourself to the neighborhood.
Why were yall so hard on the second caller, damn
Im on team naked neighbor
for caller 1, could one of your grandma's have been a lesbian? they could have remarried and her wife was your grandmother too. just an idea :)
