This is a headgum podcast.
I'm shaking a mirror for advice on problems or quandaries
I'll help you out without a doubt
They're on your side and want to help you in
It's if I were you
I
Knew what that song was a parody of
Weezer no Jake. What's your guess? I was gonna guess it was a Weezer song as well
All right incorrect Riley Weezer
That is right
I
Yeah
It's all about confidence you can be wrong, but as long as you're just like it's Weezer
It could not be Weezer, but then it is Weezer, but it is yeah, you made it Weezer. I made it Weezer
I would rather I would rather be wrong with style than right like a scaredy
Yeah
Actually it was a song called
One AM 180 by Granddaddy. That was the parody. I've never heard that song. I don't think I haven't either
I loved I loved the parody so I must love the original, but I probably like the parody more because it's about me
Yeah, yeah has your name in it. So it's more exciting
It's better to parody songs that people don't know because then in a way they think it's an original
One second I have to finish
I didn't sing songs that people don't know and then they think that their originals they give me cash and a hat
So Amir, who put cash in your hat? Do they give you a hat of cash?
Sorry, we're having like two different conversations
They put cash in a hat
Amir, I just want to know who did that song
It was by Anderson Reagan. Anderson Reagan wrote the song
Awesome, that's really cool
He has a band Magic, yeah Magic Ray Gun, which is kind of fun because his name is Anderson Ray Gun
Yeah
They released their debut EP on Jake's Birthday
So it's available for streaming wherever you get your music
They have hand-painted CDs available on Bandcamp with all the proceeds going to
Jeff, you're mad and all the proceeds are going to local bail funds
No, I'm not mad
What? What are you doing?
You're spinning a yarn like you have an idea or something
Don't hold your face that way
You look like you're in a smoking gedrick
I am in a way, so I'm just kind of like relaxing
You look like Scar from Lion King
Yeah
I'm not a villain
You look villainous
I'm chilling
Anyway, thank you Anderson, thank you Magic Ray Gun, the band
And yeah, proceeds go to local bail funds
Stop, Jeff
What? What is it, Jeff? We invited you
He's gone
He's still here, he just stopped the video
Yeah, he's a non-video participant slash lurker slash troll
So you'll still be able to sort of weigh him and wax
Wax and weigh
Oh my god, it's worse to not see you and just hear you
Yeah, I just like that
Wax ass pussy, have you guys heard this new song?
What's that?
It's Cardi B and Megan D and they're kind of waxing ass pussy
So what?
They're singing about ass and pussy
Man
This is what I feel like is gonna be the experience of Jeff when you die and you come back to haunt
This is how I feel like that's gonna go
I'm just gonna hear wax ass pussy on the breeze and I'll be like, that's him
Yeah, that's okay
What age do you guys think I'm gonna die?
Hopefully
Cause you already act like a 40 year old when at age 20
So by the time you reach 60 you'll look like 112
Jeff, how old are you now? 24? 25?
Oh my god, you put on a smoking jacket
Oh my god
I'm almost 23, I'll be 23 at the end of November
So you shouldn't appear this way
Why do you have that?
Are you recording?
I'm not recording video
We're not even recording this video, this is not a video
Alright, that's fine
Cause this would be the good thumbnail for you guys to post to the Insta
Alright fine, I'm recording
So this is Jeff fucking rubbing his thumb and middle finger and index together
In a way that, what's the opposite of tickling?
It's making me nauseous to see it
And you're also in a velvet smoking jacket, but you're not smoking anything
My nipple is literally out right now and I'm not the worst dressed person on the gym
And that's cool
Oh no, you're the worst dressed, you're the under dressed
I am the overdog, that's someone who people expect to win but doesn't
What is that? You didn't say anything interesting
The overdog is I don't have to say things of substance
If you dress in velvet, you lean back and kind of rub your fingers together
People think what you're saying is interesting
Did you pull that from like a costume box?
Your mic fell
Yeah, your microphone fell, you're in a closet, is that where you are?
You're in a closet
This is my childhood bedroom
Do you have like a little dress up box that you got that from?
I don't
Stop going back to the pose
You keep returning to the uncomfortable pose
I'm standing, I mean I'm sitting on a stool so it's not comfortable no matter how I...
You don't have to do it
What do you have the microphone on?
It's on my laptop, I would show you the setup but then the mic would fall again
Wow, right
It would, it would fall again
And don't rub, no more rubbing of the fingers
I don't have to see that
It looks like you're waiting for something
I am waiting for the episode to start
All we've talked about so far is a fucking parody of a song and then this jacket
I don't know why this bothers you guys so much
It's obviously hot
You obviously wanted us to talk about the jacket
You left, you turned off the video to put it on
You know what, this is an absolute ambush
I don't appreciate it
You're right, it is an ambush, you brought this on the three of us
You ambushed us
You did ambush us
A one-man ambush?
I don't think so
That's a man-bush
Stop!
I tweeted, I tweeted
Asking for questions, quick hits, we can go around lightning round style
Trying to answer as many as possible
Just to get us started
Here's a quick and easy one
And Jeff, you don't have to think too hard
These are supposed to be like, boom, in and out
You don't have to say I'm-
Can I just, can I air a grievance?
Can I air a grievance with how you tweeted it?
You tweeted, we're having a guest on today or two
Obviously people are going to think it's Ben and Thomas
And then when our names show up on Monday
It's going to be a huge letdown
So you're setting us up for failure
All these questions are going to be about their Netflix improv special
How was it voicing BB-8?
I don't fucking care
I don't fucking know what the crafty on Space Force was like, fucker
So I won't read that question
I'll skip that one
I might be able to weigh in
What were you saying before I interrupted?
You said overthink the questions?
Yeah, yeah, don't do that
Sam Tabachnik, who's actually verified on Twitter
So treat this question with reverence
Because it's actually a reporter for the Denver Post
How tall are you and how tall do you wish you were?
What the fuck kind of question is that?
What the fuck are you talking about?
This is nothing
So Riley, you're 5'4", 5'5"?
I'm 5'4", and a half
She's mad
So what?
Exactly right
So what?
You kind of nailed it, but like why does it matter?
What kind of fucking question is this?
If you're verified, think of a better question than this nonsense
Alright?
You have a blue check
He's a reporter
So check
Your facts
It's just like a fun way to get into like a silly conversation
Like 5'4", and a half
But I wish I was 5'6", and this is why
I do wish I was 5'6", is that what you wanted to hear?
That's exactly what I was gonna say
Are you happy?
Alright, why do you want to be an inch and a half taller?
Why am I on trial for this?
I'm just curious
It's just...
It's what?
I'm not as tall as I'd like to be
I just want to be a little bit taller than I am now
Not too much?
Not too much?
Just enough
Yeah
Who's next?
God damn it
Is there...
I'll go...
I'm willing to go next
But is there anything else you wanted to get off your chest?
Like with like...
I just knew because you're like...
Riley, you're kind of heated
Yeah
Do you have a headache or something?
You're rubbing yourself in a lot
No, I do
What's this guy's name?
What's this quack's name
who sent in this question?
Sam, but I don't...
You don't have to like do anything about it
It's also...
It's Sam, but it's...
I don't want to interrupt too much
but like...
Amir's the one that asked it
and he sort of got on your nerves too
So if you needed to unload on...
blown away
It's like...
I know it's not Sam's fault
Like Sam asked a bad question
and that's fine
like he didn't know
but like Amir picked it
You have so many people
who like sent in the questions
And so exactly
It was the way he picked it
It was the way he picked it
The way I picked it
It was the way you picked it
The way I picked it
Yes
The way I chose it
I honestly...
I don't want to like ding up on you
It was the way you picked it
It's like you looked on your phone
and you're like...
I'll pick this one
Like that's how you did it
No way
Dude, I'm your friend
and I'll give it to you straight
You know I will never like sugarcoat things for you
It was the way you...
How did I pick it?
How did I pick it?
You guys don't even know how I picked it
You don't know how I picked it
I didn't know how I picked it
So it's like that's how you picked it
You did let go of gas
You broke wind
You broke wind and you...
Yeah
You broke wind and you...
You passed gas
You passed
How tall are you?
We can only imagine the stank
in the office that you're sitting in right now
Luckily Luke's not in there
Luckily Luke's not in there
for the audiences
Know how?
Next question
No, no, no
How tall...
Everyone else can answer
How tall is...
Jeff, are you part of the six foot club
or are you a little shy, a little north?
I'm six one
And I'd love to be six two
Because six one
Sounds bad
The only thing I'm afraid of
is being six one
Not afraid of the boogie man
What?
But I don't like my height
Yeah, I have this picture of us together
and you're seven inches shorter than me
I'm five eleven
Yeah, but that was me
wearing boots that kind of
boosted me a little way
So you're shorter than five three?
Well, that was when we...
That was when we did our show in Cleveland
when Jeff was nine
Oh, I see
Yeah, yeah
He glowed up and growed up
So you're six one
Is this a good time to
announce the review review
if I were you
co-headlining tour
at Cleveland Ohio
June 2021?
That's right
Or are we going to sit on it?
Let's sit on it forever probably
That sounds like a terrible idea
for a tour
Ohio only?
Cleveland, yeah
So it's a tour that's all in Cleveland?
City of bars
Are you losing championships?
We could really use a win, man
And you think that would...
You think Cleveland would get a win
if me and Amir did our podcast there
with you guys?
He's doing the smoky jacket
velvet sort of
Jake, Amir, what are you
what do you want to be?
Don't give Jeff attention for this
Six feet and I want to be six feet six
Wow, six six
That's so tall
That's prohibitively tall
This is why you don't want to be too tall
You can't spoon comfortably
if you're too tall or too short
Well, my...
Six foot to six four is ideal
My wife would be
You guys didn't ask me what Jill's height
and my ideal height for Jill would be
Well, that's wasn't a question
My wife would also be...
Asked a question at all
Okay, because I'm six foot six
but I also have an ideal height wife
Jillian six foot three
That's over the flat head
How tall is she now?
That's actually a little bit of
It's a personal question, Riley
And I resent the way...
She's not asking it
Matt R, whoever the fuck asked it
Matt didn't ask what my fucking...
He didn't ask how tall my wife was
That was something that Riley chose to do
You brought it up
It was the way you picked it
No, I wasn't an Amir going
Oh, how tall is Jill?
That wasn't how I said it
I know how tall she is
16 minutes, right?
17 minutes into the record
and we're only one question deep
She's five three, right?
My wife?
Yeah
I'm not sure
I'm not sure
You're not sure
She's five four
Wow
Jillian
Yeah
How tall are you?
Nobody's there
Five four
She said she's five four
Okay
How tall is Abitel?
I...
How tall is Danny?
Six eleven
Five seven
Well, Jeff doesn't have...
Jeff doesn't have love in his life
So I can't ask him how tall
Your significant other is
Because you're alone
Nice
You're in a fucking closet
You're alone
You're wearing a smoking jacket
You're by yourself
And you're not fucking
Anyone in the world
Who gives a shit about you
It's the way he picked it
Childly bedroom
It's absolutely the way he picked it
Childly bedroom, not a closet
Yeah
That's funny
Amir Haidt
It's funny
I'm five eleven
It's funny because I can laugh at myself
I'm five eleven
And I wish I were six three
But you know what?
I would take
Sharing a life with someone
Over being a six foot anything
Like what good is having a longer coffin
If no one's going to show up
To your funeral
Jesus Christ
Alright, ready?
Asymmetry asks
Other than Mario Kart
Are there any other games
That you're enjoying playing?
I would love if you guys
Could kind of set me up with someone
Dancing
Dancing at the idea
Dancing at the idea
That I don't have a significant other
I like to play Animal Crossing
But I don't like to play too much
Because I like to spend time
With my wife, Jillian
Daniel and I both play Zelda
So it's a really fun thing
For us to bond over
And kind of like
Track each other's progress
In the game together
It's really nice
Playing with someone
Would be a lot of fun
I've been doing VR mostly
And it's you know
Virtual reality is fun
But nothing beats my actual reality
Aw, that's the truth
There's no more fun of a game
Than making a dinner with someone
Even something as simple as like
Making a dinner
And sort of like
Playfully hit each other
Or action
It's so important
It's everything
Without companionship
Life is meaningless
You can't feel anything
Be anything
It's nothing
You are nothing
Stop!
That's absolutely enough
From all of you
Oh my god
Jeffrey
It was funny at first
You took it too far
And now we're all left
With our dicks in our hands
Not me
I'm sad
And I'm glad
That it's gone this way
Because
My threshold is here
And you blew past it
I didn't realize we were saying
What's the next fucking question?
Like now there's this tension
Throughout the rest of the episode
And it's not my fault
I totally didn't even realize
We were saying anything
That was like uncouth
I know, Jeff
I'm so sorry
It makes no sense
I sort of browned out
He's doing the pose again
He's doing the pose
He's absolutely doing the pose
Jeff, have you been playing any video games?
No
Zar Gorski writes
What's the goat pizza topping?
Can I be controversial for a spell?
Yeah
Caramelized onions
Caramelized funyons
So I'll take a bag of funyons
And sort of reduce it in sugar
And put it on top of the pizza
If I'm being crazy
It's mushrooms and bacon
What do you think about that?
I agree with mushrooms
I would say mushrooms and spinach
Those are the good toppings for me
I think the real
Mushrooms and onions
The true goat
I like a shot
What was that?
Are you Popeye?
You worked yourself up to say that
I saw you take a breath right before
You looked like Popeye and you yelled
You looked like your face was stung by 20 bees
Which sauce?
There's sauce on pizza as the default
That's not even a topping, man
It goes sauce, then cheese, then the topping
You're just describing
An ingredient of pizza
You're saying it's like yelling
I like the crust
That's your next question
I do like the crust
I like the dough
Alright, you know what?
Jake, Riley and me
We'll just kind of keep waxing pizza
And Amir, you can take as much time as you need
And just kind of say that topping
I think mushrooms and caramelized onion
Is the best way to go
Mushrooms for sure
Cheese, please
And don't forget the sauce
Cheese
And don't forget the sauce
You can say how you were planning on saying it
And don't forget the sauce
Again, those two are the base
The canvas, the toppings
Cheese and sauce
No crust
Like cheese, sauce
Those are just taken for granted
They're there
Those are established
And the question is
What do you add to that?
What's the topping?
Riley, what do you think about pineapple on pizza?
Absolutely not, hard pass
What about pepperoni?
Just a classic
It can be good
It can also be really bad
I do like Italian sausage on pizza
It's pretty good
Yes, I love it
Can you make sure it's in a circle shape?
That's the best way to eat it
Sliced up
Real nice
You just have a fundamental disconnect
With the question, I think
That's the best way to eat it
Did you say can you make it a circle shape?
It is, that's default
Circle shape
Sliced up, real nice
You have to ask for it to be in a square
You just describing pizza
What do you like to eat on top of the pizza?
What goes on top?
That's a good question
I never thought about that
That was the question
You should have been thinking about it
You should have pivot and discussed the topping of sorts
Good
Sprinkles?
You've never had pizza
You've never had pizza
Yeah
Would you rather win an Oscar, a Tony, a Grammy, or an Emmy?
Asks, see Fenton
Okay, great question
Great question
I'd like to win an Oscar, but I'm probably most likely to win
Let's start with Riley
Let's start with Riley
I want to hear this little song that Jake has started
We can start with Riley and he'll come back to me
But let's edit that part out
I'm embarrassed of the way it came out
We'll do Jeff and then Riley
If we have time, you can answer the question
I'm down to only do Jeff and Riley
I just want to get it
I'm just saying I just want to get it clean
So we can cut my thing
We'll be able to cut my thing out
So let's get it perfectly clean
I'll cut your thing out
I will definitely cut your thing out
Don't worry
Okay, so we have the transition
And that won't be in there
So Riley, would you rather win an Oscar, an Emmy?
I guess
Does that have to do with the tune of Delilah?
I don't know
Forever we're going to find our way
Rylan's?
Yeah, I guess
I guess
I mean, I don't fucking know
Whatever makes me most respected
I guess a Tony
Because then I can easily warm my way
Into the Oscars and Emmy's could be like
Oh, well, she's a serious performer
She can do theater, right?
Not all people on the silver screens
Can transition over
It's harder
So I kind of want to intimidate people
At the Oscars
I want to walk the carpet
And just kind of like
It's a fun question
Yeah, that's kind of the response
I'm trying to be like
You won your Tony for production
So it's like
Not really a creative role
That's what you win the Tony for
Nobody invited you to the Oscars
Do you have a ticket?
Do you even have a ticket?
No, I'm part of the
You're a stagefiller
You're a stagehand, ma'am
Well, I'm still invited
The show you worked on
I was part of the production team
Who won the musical
I mean, I wasn't on stage
But I was part of the team
Why did you bring your Tony?
This is a different award show
Do not bring your Tony to the Oscar
It's just a small flaccid statue
Flaccid?
Jeffrey
I'd like to go last, please
Okay
I would rather win an Emmy
Because it meant that I did my shit
In a way that allowed my parents to watch it
On network television
That's right
My parents can't watch a theater play in New York
They can't get there right now
And a Grammy?
What, you expect them to download an MP3?
I don't think so
And as for the Oscar
My dad doesn't like me
So it has nothing to do with the media, right?
So you won't pay to see me act
But Emmy, I can sort of trick them
I'll add the episode to the DVR
And they'll be like, wow, what's this?
Guess what, I directed it, bitch
Oh, you directed it
Maybe that's why he doesn't like you
If you talk to him like that
I directed it, bitch
You say that to your father
No, I was just saying
It would be like
I actually worked really hard on this thing
And I won a statue for it
Okay
Do you still prefer my brothers to me?
Probably, because your brother
What would you rather do, Jake?
I was just saying your brother saves lives
So even an Oscar
And you directed it, bitch
It'd be funny if we all...
Your other brother has a VC fund
So he invests in really cool companies
So I said action
No matter what you do
No matter how hard you hustle
You'll never ever reach their status
But you directed it, bitch, I guess
Yeah, like you win an Oscar
But your other brother
Delivers like children
Emmy
Emmy
I win an Emmy, bitch
Jake, what about you?
I already said
And it's gonna get cut out
But I'd like to win an Oscar
But I'm most likely to win a Tony
And that'll get cut out
But that's how I feel
Keeping that one in
Really?
Sure, keeping that one in
Won't even make any sense
Because I talk about the other one being cut out
I'm gonna make you look bad
It's gonna feel very disjointed
Yep
Jeff?
I don't know
I mean, it's like...
The Emmy kind of have that TV
Because people like streaming shows
They like television
But honestly, I think I'd like to leave them all up on the table
I mean, unlike you guys for me
It's not about the awards
It's about the art
It's about the craft
It's about making people laugh
It's about telling stories
No matter what the media
You know, it doesn't have to be live
Music, whatever it is
I just want to kind of get my point across
And make people feel joy
For you guys, you kind of selfishly all want to feel joy yourselves
You know, which is like, I get it
We all want trophies
But also, like your spouses
Trophy wives, trophy husbands
I'm single because I don't need anyone else to be my guy
So you're still on that
I'm seething through my teethings
You're still teething
My molars haven't come in yet
Yeah
So yeah, I could see a few baby teeth
Oh my god
Maybe that's why you're single
Is because you are a little baby man
Oh, trust me, ladies and gentlemen
I give the best head
It is because I have no molars
Keep it in set to the tune of
I'm on a win a Tony
Let's actually take a break now
Thanks for sponsors
And I want you to sit in that
And think about whether you thought that was okay to say
And we'll be back
I thought it would kind of be glossed over
And cut out
After these messages
But the entire head gum network, Jake
Wow
That's correct
I mean, this might be the Goat Father's Day gift
I think it actually is
Yeah
Yeah, not just Father's Day
But if for any not so tech-savvy family member
That you need a gift for soon
These digital photo frames
Might be the best of all time
Yeah, for me personally
These things are perfect
I'll tell you why
As you know, I am expecting
My first child
We got one for Jill's parents
We got one for Jill's grandma
Holy smokes
We got one for my parents
So there are three of these bad boys
In our family right now
But they're great
Really easy way to stay in touch with your family
You can upload as many photos as you want
Directly into my parents' kitchen
It's really nice
Oh, that's cool
So you take a photo of anything, perhaps a baby
And then it goes to their digital photo frame
This is actually how we told Jill's grandma
She was pregnant
We got her the aura frame
We plugged it in
Jill's grandma was pregnant?
Really nice, asshole
This was actually a really sweet moment for me and my wife
And you're trying to make a joke of it
I was just being goofy a little bit
Like this is how I told my grandma she was pregnant
Yeah
Yeah, kind of like she misheard it or something like that
Or the way you said it was kind of like
Could go either way
Yeah, Jill's grandma is pregnant
Oh my god
Jill's grandma is 90 and pregnant
It's pretty cool
And you told me with a digital photo frame
Holy smokes
And we let her know with an aura
Yeah
Thank you
The aura announcement
So you can instantly frame photos from any device anywhere
And invite the whole family in on the fun through the aura app
Add me to your aura app
I'd love to upload just a picture of me at a pool or something
That could be funny
Your banana or your dog alongside pictures of my daughter
Yeah
Yeah
Exactly
You deserve that
You can even preload photos and add a personal video message
That will display as soon as your dad or anybody connects to the frame
Yeah

Do you guys have any?
Oh, it's a lift to the fight
I'm coming
Gross
I got one
So just, yeah, reach
Okay
I am 22
Yabu
And so the issue there
Riley, do you have any?
What's that?
Riley, let's go to the Riley one
It's just a genuine like leather
Oh my god
Patent leather
Which is leather that has an
A copyrighted trademark
All you had to say was like
Take a drive
And change your scenery
Oh, that's actually really good
No, but I do have one
I have spent
And Riley and I talked about this
Briefly on a review of you
A couple weeks ago
I've spent my entire young adult life
Not taking any fashion risks
Really just like plain tees
Plain jeans
Plain white snees
Did you just try and rhyme tees
With jeans
And the plainest accessories
But I am starting to branch out
And I would
You're wearing a velvet jacket right now
In floor the listeners
To take fashion risks
Especially if anything
That's the lesson I've taken
From this global pandemic
You might not ever get to go out again
So wear those Jordans
Jeff is wearing makeup
In the style of euphoria
I know
Jeff has glitter bleeding out of his eyes
The glitter was on the eyes
And then the eyes are bleeding
Because of the glitter
Got it
I like the unsolicited advice
Of take a fashion risk
I think that's cool
I think you should wear that sweater
Wear that loud jacket
Where cuff the jeans in a new way
You know, like for me the longest time
Wear what you wish you
Like what you think you wish you could pull off
Like you should just put that on
Exactly
But what if the worst thing happens
Somebody says
Nice jacket
Loser
And everyone laughs at you
In a way that makes you feel smaller than
And you clock that
Because one day
They're gonna fucking push you over the edge
And you're gonna snap
And you're gonna say
You don't like the jacket?
And then he's gonna be like
You like the jacket?
And that's when you stab Marty
In between the third and fourth rib
And you say
Got some blood on your pants
And everyone will laugh at him
Finally, you're the hero in the story
What's Jeff's inner monologue right now?
Every single time Jeff has been doing this weird pose
He was thinking that exact thought
Bathing in Marty's blood
The inner thought I have ends with me as a hero
After making a horrible mistake
Riley, do you have anything to add
Slash subtract from that?
Don't be afraid
Oh, don't be afraid
Just as long as you wear
Wear those jeans
The stiffest salvage ever
Don't be afraid to like
I don't know, this might be crazy
Don't be afraid
No, it's just like I don't want you to make
Riley, come on
You can do it
Don't be afraid to like
To share a draft of a business email with a friend
And have them revise it
It's like, oh, you're using too many exclamation points
Or it's a little too informal
Yeah, stupid
Well, that's your one, do you have one in your drafts?
Well, I did have one, yeah, but I didn't want to do it
We don't have to do it now
Read it live on business email
Read it live on mic
It's your fistic nation
Dear Jake, Camere and Marty
Exclamation point
Okay, it's over
Sup, you fucks
Just kidding
All of this is typed
Even the um was in there too
I just wanted to
I just wanted to call
Sorry, email, I just wanted to write and say
These past couple of years
I've been so cool
LOL, and then like the cool parentheses
Like there's the colon smiley face
Again, everything I'm saying is typed
Even what I'm saying right now is all in the email
You're just reading a verbatim right now
I'm reading a verbatim and this is also in there
She hasn't digressed at all
What we're saying is it in the email draft?
Yes, everything you're saying is in the email too
Um, Jeff's too?
Yes, every, every, all of this is also in the email
Okay
Um, this, even this podcast that we're on has been so fun
All I'm saying is I, where I'm working
I would like to not be here anymore
Be working at Hadgam anymore
If that sounds good, let me know
If not, that's totally fine
And then a couple emojis
We can reject that
We obviously don't want you here
If you don't want to be here
That doesn't sound good
This is all in the email still
Hope you're well, stay safe, wear a mask
Bye
To leave a callback number, press 5
What?
That's the email
So it's dictated through a fucking operator or something
Can I just give my, can I get my one note
Yeah, please, please
I thought it was all great and very clear
The only thing that I would do is that first exclamation point
After Hey Jake and Meere and Marty
I think it should just be a comma because like A, you know
It's kind of a bummer email and then B, it's like
You don't have to like apologize
You don't have to like create all this space for them
No, that's really very helpful
This is all still in the email by the way
This whole conversation is still in the email
So I will change that exclamation point
Love Riley
The real
I like the sign off
The real D Hayes
On Twitter asks
What movie would you see
At the newly opened AMC
For 15 cents
What movie?
How can we know it won't be out?
Ew
Meere's making a very
He looks like one of those carnival
I've never seen you do that before and I hate it so much
Jeff, that is exactly what he looks like
Oh my god
It's one of those roller coasters that you enter through the clown's mouth
Why?
You don't look like
Oh
Beetlejuice style
Just totally opens his jaw
Would you guys see a movie right now
In a theater for 15 cents?
No, not now
I barely went to the movies before
That's not an experience I need
Somebody clip that out and hold it against Jake
The next time he says that he went to the movies
I went to a drive-in movie
A couple weeks ago for the first time and that was super fun
I would do that again
So how does the audio get in your car?
Radio
Oh so you tune to a dial
Everyone goes to the same channel
Fuck, okay
That makes sense because I did that too
But I think I was in the wrong channel
You were just playing the top 50
So I was
Yeah, I was on KISS FM
It doesn't quite line up
Because I was watching this documentary
You were masturbating in your car
Listening to KISS FM
Watching Cars 2
And it wasn't a drive-in
It was a McDonald's
It was a drive-through
You're not allowed to do that
Because I thought there was a character
I thought the weirdest choice was the character in the background
Saying are you sure you don't want anything sir
Can you at least move forward
You parked your car in the drive-through
You got into the back of your car
You're listening
To call me maybe on your
On the radio
Watching a porn video
With Cars 2 on an iPad
Masturbating in the back seat
Of your car on La Brea
And that's not acceptable
Riley, sing Friday by Rebecca Black
It's Friday
Friday
That's enough
That's absolutely enough
Fucking terrible
Oh my god
She didn't know you were going to do that
She wouldn't have sung
With anything I ever do
On any podcast
The headcam podcast is me fucking tearing hair out
To get something usable
And this week there was nothing
I was on it this week
It's coming out next week
Because Ferris and I couldn't get it out today
Wow
That's on you
No
You're the host man
I know
Alright, 182
At Frickjens writes
If you got sent back in time 200 years
What would be the first modern thing
You would try to invent or create
Easy
HDTV baby
A 65 inch plasma
And yeah, guess what
So I'm basically able to
I'm the only one in the village who can Netflix
And chill
So it's 1820
What are you talking about
That you can just make a plasma TV
You don't know how
There's no programs being made
These cameras don't exist
Satellite doesn't exist
Cable doesn't exist
So just having screens
A curved TV
To play what
So maybe I'll do the radio
Then
Again, you can't
So I'm looking at
What happened in science in 1820
And it looks like English inventor
Thomas Hancock patents the production
Of fastenings using rubberized fabrics
And invents the pickling
Machines
So I could do maybe a Hulu
On like
We're talking about like
Inventions of that era are like
You know
Like hinges and fasteners
To make like pickling jars tighter
Light bulb, obviously light bulb
Because that's simple, it's one invention that helps everybody
Done, I'm a fucking genius
French press
That's really good
Printing press
Nice
How about a printing French press
So it's like you're able to print books about
Coffee, a dime a dozen
And then you open up a Starbucks in town square
Riley, can you like cut them down to size?
You want the
What? Can you just cut them down to size?
It's a bad idea
I don't know, what do you want me to say?
Bullion
Bullion because it's the funniest to me to like see you
Bullion here is all
I don't want to do that
I'm really nervous on this show
I know
So I'm trying to like fabricate bits in a non-organic way
I know you're like
Just relax a little
And let the
The episode is almost over
You're back in the position
Got it
Your fingers are very dry by the way
I can hear the coarse rubbing from here
Sounds like broken glass
Just flakes of skin
Floating off into your closet
I'm inhaling them
TheDude27 asks
I have a hard time
waking up early
Do you have any tips to start getting up
earlier?
Jeff, you're sort of an expert
in getting up early
Really?
You constantly rid me publicly
about how I'm awake at like 3 a.m. eastern time
Jeff's the only person I know who has jet lag
between Ohio and California
two months after he
went to Cleveland
You know what it is
I got on Cleveland time
within the first two weeks
It worked, it was great
Sorry, one second
Two weeks to get on Cleveland time
It's fucking hard
I'm a night owl, man
It's hard to like force yourself to fall asleep
because you can't fall asleep if you're not tired
but you can stay awake if you're exhausted
And so
I got on Cleveland time for about a month
and then there was like some family stuff that happened
and
I had to edit review review to get it out
and like it was taking longer
or we had meetings on Monday or something
and so it's like 1 a.m. and I'm just finishing the edit
and so then I had to also edit the ads
and put them up and I didn't get to sleep till 2.30
2.30 turns into 4.30
It was seven weeks ago
I need a long time late at night
because it feels like I'm in a cocoon
Jake?
Oh my god
That was the most honest thing
you've ever said
I honestly didn't know you felt like that
You need cocoon time?
I need my alone time to recharge
for my social capital
to be replenished for the following day
We're all performers
We all have to be in meetings
We all have to be on Zoom calls
We all have to be on podcasts
We all have to do live streams
We all have to be on the friggin' email chains
If you need to wake up early
just deprive yourself of sleep
for like a day
Riley
I want to go to bed
You take
everything out of me
every time we talk
You make me
I have to like absorb everything
and that saps
Every 10 minutes with you
is a minus hour of sleep
Jesus Christ
It is an hour off my life
I will die 10 years
or I should
because of the amount of time I've spent
taking in
what he does
You didn't have any gray hair
before Jeff started working at Head Gum
There's a correlation there
I didn't have any gray hair
before he started working at Head Gum
Fuck
You're aging me
If you want to wake up early
go to bed earlier
or have something exciting
to look forward to
It'll be going to bed
with butterflies in your stomach
Jesus, I'm so tired now
That's cool
Sorry, I didn't know that you guys
felt that way about me
I did
but I didn't know that it would be this exhausting
For me
Jake, do you have a final question for us?
Yeah, I do
Let's end it on a positive note
Let's see who this purse
what this name is
Okay
Hold on
One second
One second
At Juicy Poon
Right
What's your favorite compliment
that you ever received?
Sorry, and that's by who?
Who wrote that?
Jeff's mic fell again
Jeff's mic
My god, again
There has to be a better thing
for you to keep the mic on
Stop doing the pose
Your hair looks
ten times more disheveled
I don't know why you guys are always mad
at everything I do, this is fine
Juicy Poon asks the best compliment
you ever received
Juicy Poon wants to know
what was the best compliment you guys
have ever received
Mine's probably a tie
between two things
One time
this fucking fly-ass stripper
told me that
I was looking like I had a thick-ass
bedong
I don't think so
She was a
She was like a Hooters waitress
or something, but she said I had like a really
I was 18 at that
So it's already changed from a stripper to a Hooters waitress
now it's gonna change again I guarantee
And she was so fucking
I never stopped
feeling light from that
That's her occupation
This never
This never happened
The second one is probably
making my
new
niece laugh
That's not a compliment
That's just something that happened
It only happened once
It only happened once
You're a comedian, you made your niece laugh one time
and then when you were 18
a Hooters waitress
slash stripper said you had a big ass
and that made you
feel light for another 18 years
20 years
More
cheese, please
Back to the pizza, got it
Riley's cryly
And that's the best compliment
of all
I'm crying
Holy shit
So a stripper touched my elbow
and also I made a nephew smile
So it wasn't a niece
and I don't think it was a stripper
I think it was a receptionist and she said
your meeting is in this conference room
and you didn't have until gymnastics to think that
it was a Hooters waitress complimenting
Your ass stripper turned into
a Hooters waitress
You're a misogynist
I'm a misogynist
Oh my god
I'm a pro man
but I'll also sort of take that knot
out of your back if necessary
You guys remember
during the day
because it's a Japanese class that I zoom into
online or the Asian equivalent
Do you guys remember your favorite compliments?
Don't ask like that
Drawing a mustache on where there already is one
Got it
It's a sharpie
Starts doing the Japanese
pinpoint
tattoo ink thing
where you hit a hammer needle with ink
Face tattoo
of a curly mustache
Do you guys remember
the compliments that jump out?
Someone once told me
that I was
too hot
to be this smart
and I was like
that's really cool
and that person was fucking Jeffrey James
and I think that's
That's so nice
That's the thing that you said to me
and I hold on to that
That's really kind
It was a little out of line
at the time because it wasn't work
that Jeff would say that
and it was early on in his tenure
and I felt like it was out of his
It wasn't his place to say something like that
Yeah, Jeff's tenure
He didn't need to say anything
It was inappropriate
I want you to think I said it
if it's really helping you
but I never said it
I actually resent that he said it when he did
It aged well
I don't think so
I don't say shit like that to me
but as I've
grown older
I've sat with it and I think that it's nice
It's a good compliment
Okay, so two things that never happen
I think
what I honestly will hold with me
forever is
my therapist was just like
you're done, you did it
So
Yeah
And that was after your first session
Now I help her
Right
But it's in her best interest to not
tell you that you're good
because then you'll stop coming and stop paying her
It says a lot about your progress
It says a lot that she's just like
you have nothing more to work on
Yeah, Jake, Amir
Take notice, oldies
Younger generation is more in tune with their emotions
Jeff, what about you?
I guess my favorite compliment was that
people would often DM me and say
you're part of the younger generation who's more in tune with their emotions
and I'm like thanks for noticing
that I'm kind of emotionally intelligent
I'm also spatially intelligent, that's just kind of a self compliment
You're not spatially intelligent
No, because I'll know that this is the door right here
You're in closet
You'll know that that's the door
No, I didn't knock your mic
Oh my gosh
I'm just aware of my surroundings is usually
the compliment that people often DM me as well
I think the reason you stop recording a lot
is because your microphone also spills on the ground
Just sit
Just sit
Just sit
You don't have to
You don't have to be stung
You don't have to fall
You don't have to move that much
You're recording a podcast
You shouldn't have to move all the time
He's still in the jacket
You're skittish
You're skittish
Oh my god
All right
Well, that's our time
Let's stop here before Jeff seriously intrus himself
Jeff
Riley, what do you have to
promote?
Just a little thing called our show
It's actually called review review
Never do that voice again
Just a little thing called
our show review review
No one's gonna listen to it
Jeff, why don't you talk about it
No one's gonna listen to it now
I totally talk about this show
It's this little
podcast
We blend
conversation
I'll pitch it
because obviously no one will want to hear that
You're pitching a podcast
where people will listen to you in the worst voice
I've ever heard
It's a very funny
improv comedy podcast
Jake and I were on the last episode
You guys dissect and improvise around
reviews so you can find them on Yelp
or Google review
and they'll sort of set the stage for a fun
Or TripAdvisor
or Amazon
It doesn't matter where they come from
It's so grating
Yeah, we blend
conversation and improv comedy
based off the most absurd reviews on the internet
and it's basically
Riley, would you say that it's like a
reconciling
of
differences
of differences in the best
comedy content in the world
so you have Robin Williams' stand up
mixed with all the way up to
if I were you
Now you're overselling it
I think that's what it probably is
Once you listen to this
we really appreciate
being on this network and all the help
you guys have given us
so you might not need
to listen to
anything else
Especially this one
It is either or
You can listen to both
That's absurd
You can listen to both
and you can enjoy both
It's fun
If you ever want more of us or more of Jeff and Riley
check it out
review review
Please
We appreciate it
We have to talk about that
We can't have you do that
Have you been plugging your show on other shows?
A little bit
Yeah, I'm afraid I'm not there to stop you
from doing that
I learned this voice in a public speaking class
No way
Fire the teacher
Thank you for your questions

Remember that? The Granddaddy's
A.M. 180
And this closing one is a beautiful theme song
to the tune of She Lays Down by the 1975
He has nothing to shout out
But if you could say the words Bruno is a Chad
It would be greatly appreciated
So thank you Nick
And thank you to Jeff and Riley for stopping by
Thanks guys
