Amir’s “little guy” country song actually made me tear up laughing 😂

Finally the star of the show makes his long awaited debut

The 1ft 3in cowboy is going to need a full write up.

“Nobody puts baby in the björner” dear lord how did we wait this long for Geoff

“You maximized, but your ceiling was a floor to others” did not get enough credit

Amir wrote the best song and they still berated him, life is so unfair smh

Two Foot Dreamin' by Amir

Amir’s song was clearly the best

Segment idea: everyone gets in a character and you attempt to figure out what the others character is while remaining in character

“She showed me the sphere, said these are your hats” almost fucking crashed my car laughing

Segment Idea: 'No More Jockeys' This is a game created by British comedian Alex Horne - would love if you guys tried it out! The idea is that you name someone famous and/or known to both of you, and along with the person you name you have to give a rule that applies to them in some way. For example, Amir could say 'Jake Hurwitz' and then 'No more people who host a podcast', and then Jake wouldn't be able to say 'Amir Blumenfeld', but he could say: 'Ben Schwartz: no more people who've made an appearance on our podcast.' The rules stack up over time, so the field of people you can choose gets progressively smaller. The way you win the game is by challenging the other on their choice of person and convincing them that the challenge stands. So, in this example, if after Jake's go, Amir then said 'Bo Burnham', Jake could challenge him on the premise that Bo Burnham has in fact been a guest on 'If I Were You'. The challenge has to accepted by both parties in order for it to succeed - if it doesn't, the challenger loses one of their three challenges; if they lose all three then they lose the game by default. You cannot challenge someone on a name/rule once it has been accepted and the next player has given a person/rule - you cannot challenge retroactively just because you now remember a rule after the fact (I guess like in Monopoly where you can't call others out for landing on your property once the game has moved on). You can be as creative/subjective with the rules as you like. One of the rules in Alex Horne's game was: 'Gary Lineker [British football commentator]: No more people whose second name you have to think twice about spelling'. Long description but it's a great game and think would be jks if you guys played it.

segment idea: a sponsorship from someone other than betterhelp

my favorite part is the way jeff is ice cold and shivering the entire episode. this would never happen with cozy cola walls

We NEED the UNABRIDGED and fully produced 'Little Man'

"You got a fast jake, lets get tickets to a baseball game, I want to eat chicken nuggets"

Segment ideas: whos 55? Except it’s who’s 5’9”?

1 foot 3 cowboy has got me in tears can amir please record a full version thanks

1 ft 3 in cowboy was the hardest I’ve laughed in a very long time.

Having Geoff on Segments feels like coming home after war

My trinity of comedy ⚔

Jake is pronouncing Azores wrong, but it’s a beautiful vacation and it’s well worth it. My family is from there and I’ve been there before, stunning islands. Especially fun if you’re into botany/geology/marine biology

Seeing Geoff laugh so hard at their jokes brings a smile to my face.

I used to think Geoff brought such a humorous energy to everything he was part of. And I still think that, but now I'm wondering if that energy is actually just being mean to Amir.

Who is this mystery guest? I don't recognize him. I figured they'd only pick people they were friends with.

Great video guys #freepalestine

hey bring back the old intro

I can’t believe Amir experienced improv for the first time, he really tried to explain the synergy “it’s like we shared one brain” lmfao cute. But enough roasts for the chipmunk, his country song was obviously the best.

Please have Geoff back soon as he is basically sprung from ya'll loins. The word story improv was great maybe yall can improv a Geoffrey sketch w him next time

Just like the good ole days… jake & amir & geoff ❤️

What is this, some sort of “Dregments” knockoff show?

The 1ft 3 cowboy country song was soo funny 😂 22:45

Does anyone know which headgum ep Amir is talking about in the beginning??

Amir's country song made me laugh so hard, it hurt. I didn't know laughing while pregnant could hurt that bad but I couldn't stop.

Amir's song > Geoff's song > Jake's song. Objectively, no offense

My Bond of the Week this week is Avital Ash, noted starlet of of the Edinburgh Fringe because I think it's time for a James B- W... what's that? Oh, I'm sorry. I saw Geoff and I just... I'm so sorry. I'll save it for next time then. My bad.

Red Deer is actually a pretty good city for Amir. It's pretty close to both Calgary and Edmonton and he could drive to one of the more affordable ski resorts (not Banff).

one of the better episodes of The Headgum Podcast

Who the flap is this guy Jk I know it’s Vlad the Impaler

It's honestly so fucked you call out my hometown of Red Deer, Alberta. Shit hit me like a truck

why is amir drinking pickled eggs

the idea of a chilled out comfy song about getting ready for the day in a "day in the life of" way slowly turning really angry and bitter as the person can't find shit they need for the day is a fantastic idea

I want to hear a full 'little guy'

Who could’ve known Geoff would have a sour mood during the theme song?

This would have been a great waxing ep

Segments, the show where 20% of the time there are no segments

Geoffs infection of Headgum continues...

The way he advertises the thankles hearkens a nuclear bomb of me

the better help ad was a jumpscare why are you so close to the cam

“They would hire locals to bottle feed me river water” 🤣

Might have been the best episode.

Loved this episode of Dregments!

Of course Geoff said sand. Does he say rice? Let’s keep watching.

How can Geoff be such a great guest but horrible host? It's uncanny. It's the duality of Hamm (John)

What happened to Geoff’s ankles? They’re like chopsticks

So who is stalking Geoff to make him nervous about getting doxxed? Don’t ladies know he is a paper man?

Segment idea - Wikipedia race; you both start with the same wiki page and have to get to a specific different wiki page as fast as possible using links found on the wiki pages you both find yourselves on. Might work better on a zoom ep cause then we can see your screens

6:57 such an unhinged conversation, I love it 😂

sand

It's been so long since if I were you that I forgot about Jake's awful gum smacking

Segment idea with 2+ guests: two of these people are lying. Game that Tom Scott plays where 3 people bring a wikipedia article, the 4th person picks one out of the hat and reads the title. The person whose article it was describes the real thing, the other two people pretend it's their article too and make something up, and the guesser has to figure out who's describing the real article

just saying my nickname is Uchi. I feel seen. But like the kind of seen where you just see someone in a crowd, never really looking directly at them.

Segment idea: ask chat gpt to pitch 20 segments, roll a d20, and do that one.

No way Red Deer, Alberta was mentioned 😂 please come back to Calgary boys

GEOFFREY GEOFFREY GEOFFREY

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

I never say anything nice about Amir, you guys know me, but his song was the best of the 3.

Segment idea: Amir and Streeter listen to Everything/Nothing

"It's sort of where the water runs VERY wet" , moving to Red Deer right now

Literally going to propose to my gf in the Azores in a month

After hours truth or drink! Crossover with Here to Help!

What’s the deal with Geoff’s sweater paws

How does it seem like Geoff is always moving

Geoff is the sturdiest member of the group

Can't choose a song, I laughed really hard at all 3

Bobby Lee 2.0 would be awesome

I want to know what that 'Gay Bar' book is about.

Is this entire conversation on edibles

Someone needs to animate Amir's song

"a rotting wife"

Why is the camera that's on geoff and jake so low res compared to the other cameras

What ep of the headgum pod is amir talking about?

Dregments!

Amir's a Tallahassee man

Thems some thin ankles

40:50

First is worst

I feel like while recording these episodes in bulk may be more efficient and easier on the cast, it definitely detracts from the quality. No way we're less than 20 episodes in and already out of ideas, right? I don't mean to be a coy roach but whoever is directing the show needs to take a day to pre-plan the episodes or maybe dial it down to monthly episodes if the ideas just aren't there.

If Amir really spent $1700 on one meal, I might genuinely hate him now.

So not only this pod is so mid, but now you guys are not even prepared?
