In this segment, a selection of listener telephone calls left on the show's answering machine are played back, with the hosts and guests commenting on each call after it is played.<ref name=Splitsider-2010-10-11/> While the content of the calls played varies, they are generally roughly divided into "momentous occasions", wherein the caller relates something interesting which has happened to or around them, or "moments of shame", wherein the caller recounts an event in which they acted foolishly or otherwise embarrassed themselves.<ref name=GauerReview-2010>{{cite web|last1=Gauer|first1=Daniel|title=[Podcast Review] Jordan, Jesse GO!|url=http://www.everyview.com/2010/03/29/podcast-review-jordan-jesse-go/|website=[http://www.everyview.com/ EveryView.com]|accessdate=30 November 2014|date=29 March 2010}}</ref>
