Marika takes the reigns but for 50 minutes with 3 of the greatest guests. This is an absolute dream.

[@megsward6758]

marika was possessed by geoff but with the ability to properly host a podcast. also her major key alert and use of the "oopkabumpkasolid" were iconic.

[@takatotakasui8307]

Geoff is unironically slower than Marika with his own sound board lol

[@Thickolas]

Unlike Geoff, Marika has actually been paying attention during this podcast's whole run

[@FDLHtv]

This is promising to be the best episode of the show

[@olguppie2819]

An episode, of sorts. A soundboard, of jorts. Exactly rice

[@LoCaRaAFi]

Marika singing Geoff's song is my favorite thing to happen on any podcast ever

[@markpmcd]

Marika makes it look not only easy but palatable.

[@ianreid5293]

Plausible, even.

[@nadeemoudeh3566]

to be an episode without Geoff is to be a rice without char

[@coreyperdue1966]

were gonna fuck up some rice *sad version*

[@Nidht]

Soil sand? Nah, soil you.

[@timgehrsitz3267]

I love how this podcast is like the Flying Dutchman, whoever the captain is is infected with this malicious and eternal spirit

[@sam9974]

11:08 : a rare frame in which everyone on the podcast, host and guests alike, are wearing genuine smiles. History is being made in front of our very eyes

[@balls261]

Really demonstrating just how little Geoff is needed in his own show.

[@ejoshcoron]

I love how Geoff haunts this entire ep 😂

[@ThePantheons]

The Ghost of Shitsmas Asst

[@brominedreams3798]

Finally we ditched the bish. Glad to see Queen Marika finally seizing control of the pod.

[@takatotakasui8307]

Ditch the bish! Ditch the bish!

[@andydavidson6673]

This is a HOSTEL takeover of the higher QUARTER...and I am loving it!

[@devgonewild839]

This is quickly becoming a voodoo doll episode in addition to a doodoo ball episode. Truly a dreamy nightmare making me cream in my nightwear.

[@Shellitronnn]

you absolutely creamed your nightwear. it was at my zauntie’s FUNeral

[@Valron87]

This was one of the best episodes in a while. Not sure what was different, but this one really hit. Felt like I could breathe for once while watching it.

[@chrisbyerly]

This was… incredible. Marika channelling Geoff is both terrifying and wonderful.

[@crazofrick8256]

The only thing that could have made this better would be while everyone makes fun of Geoff, Marika shouts "THATS ENOUGH" and leaves the call

[@T4ke2]

I’m not even trying to shade Geoff with this, but this is one of the best episodes of the Headgum podcast ever. Marika’s got a killer voice, and her major key alert was hilarious. I will give credz to Geoff for the songs though. This rice album is gonna be an all-timer. Get Marika to record her version of Rice Burn

[@quintinbovre5901]

"And Dan" is from Workplace Injury!! A classic Headgum Off Days ep

[@Thickolas]

Unironically fantastic job from Marika. My only note is next episode don't use Geoff's name at all and we can truly forget him as a nation

[@anthony7960]

“Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds” -Marika Brownlee

[@austinsanders4039]

In the evolutionary scale of the Headgum Podcast, this version without Geoff is the fully formed human.

[@brominedreams3798]

@29:00 also marika has a really nice voice?!?!?!?

[@Brett.A]

We did it team! He’s gone forever

[@aaron5734]

best ep ever? I haven’t started but it must be the best

[@ericmonette6633]

Marika singing sky fall was absolutely iconic

[@spasenchaykov]

knowing the podcast could've been this the whole time, makes me feel...robbed! Geoff owes us all cash for not going to kentucky or whatever sooner! 10/10

[@quintinbovre5901]

Just started watching but this is seriously the best vibes of any episode bar none. My friday is feeling positive for the first time since 2 weeks ago when nothing was uploaded.

[@quintinbovre5901]

Wow Marika has a GREAT voice :o

[@ThePantheons]

Okay Marika being Geoff is incredible. I love her geoffergy oxox queen

[@Rocketmanrun]

Honestly the best ep yet. Can't put my finger on why I liked it so much more than the rest....

[@LegitimateContent]

Geoff always sings like he's trying to teach us something

[@quesocaliente]

The So What segment was so funny this week.

[@jacksona3923]

Didn't realize I could feel so relaxed and engaged while listening to this pod. Like there was no poisonous element keeping me from feeling, well, good.

[@Devosimms]

Please do an episode where Marika and Geoff run the pod! The chaos, the absoloute chaos

[@staher1990]

Let's just appreciate the moment Marika started singing Geoff's song 28:20 hahaha 😅😊

[@Qwerasd]

Imagine this being someone's first episode. Statistically it has to be at least one person's, right? I feel bad for whoever must suffer that fate, to be sure- a spark of false hope that this podcast is not a vampiric force that drains one's vigor, immediately crushed as soon as they watch another episode and see Geoff. A prayer for all those who are afflicted with this this this this this this this this this this disappointment of themselves. 🙏

[@skoc6227]

What's that?

[@btk72491]

Best episode ever, truly a masterpiece

[@chillsalmon]

Truly the best episode yet 🙏 Loved everyone! Could've done without Geoff's version of Let the Rice Burn, it soured this otherwise perfect ep

[@spagetticat10]

Honestly, Marika taking not only the reigns, but our hearts. All the Geoff mannerisms had me in tears, so good.

[@BMDNERD]

Marika killed all the songs she sang, this is the best episode yet!

[@sinn1sl0ken]

INCREDIBLE "this girl is on fire!" sting for Anya's braggadocio/terroristic threat.

[@takatotakasui8307]

The fact that Geoff knows Case Closed/Detective Conan makes me love him so much more

[@edgarspavlovics3540]

That song by Marika just made my week, what a trainwreck of a joy this show is thus

[@patmeade7001]

Geoff isn't here but there must always be a Geoff...

[@PKSiggy24wc]

This was amazing

[@rfjfr5466]

Is anyone surprised that this is the best episode of this show?

[@karmaheaven7]

This is one of the best episodes of this show ever.

[@dmarr4941]

This episode was so dope. Marika killed it.

[@Julian-jd5yj]

Can't wait for Geoff to come back. This is my favorite podcast

[@matiasreba]

I can't believe my prayers have finally been answered

[@qbull]

Geoff's supernatural powers have become biblical; he can now voodoo control Marika from the Midwest

[@dj12dj12a93]

Probably the best episode so far excluding the dip in quality at 34:43 - 36:09

[@milesthompson1776]

Hahahababhaha

[@NayimAliComedy]

This episode was great! More than great! It was good.

[@kylekline2787]

Woke up with a chaGRIN falls on my face when I saw the title of this episode

[@jessejfriesen]

Best one yet

[@tailsp1n]

The biggest shock of this episode is that Marika can actually sing

[@80lemon80]

This should be called Best Episode Ever 1

[@takatotakasui8307]

We need to make this the most listened to episode of the Headgum Podcast. Honestly it's the only thing we listeners can do to intervene.

[@milesthompson1776]

This is by far the BEST Ep ever! I kinda missed the frequency of spattering claps after every drop THOUGH

[@thomasfriedlander7208]

Finally this podcast is good

[@Shellitronnn]

disabling my adblock for this ep in hopes that headgum sees enough of a revenue jump to turn this geoffless pod into a permanent gift from rod

[@quesocaliente]

Incredible.

[@bort2035]

Long time listener, first time caller, just wanted to say that when Geoff hosts, the mood feels sour, there's angst in the air, and there's a general sense of contempt from everyone (except when allie's on). But when Marika hosts, there's no other word to describe it aside from joy. People are having fun, there's a distinct lack of vitriolic hatred/doxxing, it feels like an atmosphere I'd like to be around more often. Idk maybe its a fluke but i felt moved enough to voice my opinion for the first time in about 150 episodes

[@agneseditsstuff]

This was magnificent

[@user-pt4xh2jr8h]

BEST EPISODE EVER

[@ChEiPs]

Best ep

[@Hossyboy420]

Marika killed it this ep

[@leviwardrobe3328]

Casey's Trump impression at 40:20 was fuckin decent, Marika killed and sang like an angel. Today is a good day.

[@kkithefirst8444]

41:31 That's the Detective Conan/ Case Closed anime main theme.

[@ejoshcoron]

😂😂

[@dynaboyjl.4220]

holy shit, I underestimated how good this would be.

[@QuestGoblin]

The case closed detective theme was from an old 90s anime called detective Conan. It was also called case closed when it aired on adult swim

[@handfloboxingreview1673]

Somewhere in Kentucky Geoff was practicing voodoo with a Marika doll during the shooting of this episode.

[@taxibeats]

This was good

[@LOLHICRONO]

cant believe those brief seconds of that song got it copyright matched, lol

[@ashamajik]

Best and funniest episode

[@seanwalsh9942]

I hope this is the next step in the process of not only firing Geoff as the host of this show, but from Headgum

[@caincarpenter3794]

Casey was that a Detroiters reference with the piping hot beer?

[@Devosimms]

Marika can sing really well!

[@SunmanXII]

Unironically the funniest episode of HGPod to date. Case closed?

[@Tmonkey18]

Finally.

[@Zepto_]

Great episode! no notes :D Edit: never mind i heard geoff :(

[@C4rps]

Excellent soundboard use

[@trevorfraley1744]

god tier episode

[@Hossyboy420]

Wait where is his sound board located?

[@sofiaposadas1]

SOMEONE POST THE SOUNDCLOUD LINK?!

[@WonderlandCrafting07]

anya was REALLY killing the sax this ep

[@GregTurismo]

I am so glad Marika has stepped into becoming Geoff and gaining his power on this episode. What’s that?!

[@mikemurdoch819]

We Stan our queen!!

[@papakep]

would love to hear a professionally produced album of these rice tracks

[@flipdiesel9652]

Host/Absentee Tormentor lmao

[@T4ke2]

Sad no one knew that the Case Closed sound is from the anime Case Closed which is about a detective who was turned into a kid.

[@user-pt4xh2jr8h]

THANK GOD

[@Pinwill_]

We need a battle for the right to host episode. 🍕 vs 🎷

[@RacleandRaHill]

43:30 she DID IT

[@slaygi]

Love

[@pandawithanorange]

I hope Geoff's equestrian dreams come true, but only so he doesn't come back.

[@hugesix]

now let's do marika as geoff as james bond for the next episode

[@hugesix]

Host Marika is honestly, bae

[@irldoge2936]

Imagine this is the first episode you watch

[@chasehlee7197]

This should have been called Possgeoffed. Because she was definitely not in her own self. Five stars. Seriously great job, Marika.

[@benhillard919]

It's from the anime "case closed" it's been airing since 1996. Marika killed songs.

[@MrAdwaa]

Marika should have been this emoji 🎭
