The podcast is designed to keep Mewes sober and started several months after Mewes regained his sobriety following a relapse (Vicodin for surgery). He has been sober since July 2, 2010.^[2][7][8][9] One of the issues Smith and Mewes have while doing the podcast, is audiences expect them to come in character, while in reality it is styled after a conversation.^{[1][2][3][9][10][11]} Another common feature, known as "Let Us F**k", involves Mewes and audience members demonstrating fake sex positions.^[2][10] Thanks to the success of the podcast and Mewes remaining clean, he has been able to buy a house.^[10]
