Ben looks at Amir like a scientist who has fallen in love with his research subject.

[@cherryslat5702]

He has become a Frankenstein of himself

[@Jamblino11]

A chipmonk scientist

[@speedy1000ism]

Yes lol. Like Ricky Gervais looks at Karl Pilkington

[@ackbaa9093]

completely died at Ben's deep cut of "he's not even gonna let me have a goddamn raisin?"

[@cookieeaturface]

Nothing more beautiful than Ben saying he can do one more segment, then scrolling the vid to see he stays til the end.

[@surgeyou123]

He just can't quit them

[@JentWatches]

This is the most stressed I've ever been watching comedy content - what a frantic, panicked energy from start to finish. Glad they squeezed in a game of Hogwash or Ha-Eun, it's been a while since they played that.

[@McBaller96]

33:30 "Yea, have you ever heard of those two numbers?" God, Amir is just so Good

[@GregTurismo]

I love seeing Amir finally stand up against this villain

[@MOTHforLife]

Listening to this in public was a mistake. Hogwash or Ha-Eun had me in tears

[@GregTurismo]

Amir is the KING of Hogwash or Ha Eun. Ben is a thief and a liar. Jake is a novice.

[@stevemyers3082]

The Golden Mic goes to Ben and Jake for both selling out Carnegie Hall, while Amir gets the turdy for dropping the ball (at everything).

[@jmax8276]

And a posthumous golden mic for Ha Eun.

[@chrisbyerly]

Ha-Eun gazes pensively over the twilight laden sky Swirls of amber and amethyst adorn the ever-disappearing horizon With thoughts and memories dancing in remembered light The last breath of warmth Like the lingering scent of a big ass bahn mi Ha-Eun lifts his eyes, and his thighs Clear across the threshold of his head and neck To elevate Another self referential poem Auto-felatiate

[@valx5]

im crying tears of soy. so beautiful

[@WhiP69420]

Ben is my „if you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive“ guest

[@adenb7208]

...but he'd be dead!

[@incog.nyto.]

he has dinner with you but he's sleep deprived, keeps interrupting you mid-sentence and has a hard out at 6;17 o'clock (and he keeps saying he has to leave but never does)

[@johnwhalley8270]

Im glad this show is a labour of love. It really shows, you guys have a natural chemistry and are exceptionally funny even when just clowning around together. Long may it continue!

[@JarodWith]

Amir has a tell on the poetry segment. He over explains his poem before reading each time. With Sadie, he stopped to explain that the pauses were line breaks. With Ha-Eun he over explained that it was a Korean name, and even spelled it. He also put his in the middle each time.

[@AhrkFinTey]

He's also a bit heavy-handed with the way he uses techniques like repetition and symbolism, but I think that's something that just gets better with exposure to other poems and experience writing them

[@beempboomp]

Ha-Eun is so diligent with how he sits all the time

[@trey6769]

I would sell my soul for a weekly ben, jake, and amir podcast

[@Varrishan]

Hogwash & Hyun is my new favorite segment. I laughed so hard.

[@JeremyHoffman]

53:30 "You just lost!" "No I did not!" It's like we got to witness an Amir and Ben Contest video in real time!

[@andante4904]

Honestly, I was almost out of breath laughing by the end of the episode. What a skill to make a simple name produced so much laughter

[@rook37]

lmao the contrast between Ben/Amir's manic energy clustered together in office lighting around one mic and jake just vibing in sunny NY is actually art super fun wild 'sode though lol, I'm genuinely curious how long it had been since ben slept

[@janana7997]

HA EUN VS HOGWASH gotta be the best reoccurring segment thus far and it hasnt even reoccured once yet

[@JeremyHoffman]

I don't know if it would be as funny to recur, I feel like we had to watch them all suffer for 50 awkward minutes to arrive at the delirium that had me rolling on the floor laughing "OOPS ALL HA-EUNS?!"

[@The-Carrot]

The Jake/Amir/Ben combo truly never disappoints

[@carltonascarf7694]

the man we've all been waiting for P.S. Don't hate the end goal being you two as poets - ha oon for life

[@JeffersonSeriously]

He can't even have a goddamn raisin?!

[@kidyuki1]

Fine. No food, no water. The only thing we can have is raisins.

[@kimberlymcgill5558]

“Bonus round, are you crazy?!? Just Ha Eun’s. “

[@JeremyHoffman]

OOPS ALL HA-EUNS?!?

[@donotworried]

Ha Oon was brilliant. Brought a tear to my eye. A touching poem.

[@MysticFalcon]

Jake and Amir should start taking Poems from fans to mix in with their Poetry segment. It would be a good way to do fan engagement and make it more difficult for them to guess who’s poem is theirs.

[@igorvedeneev573]

Nothing brings more smiles to my face than seeing the three of you together

[@anthony7960]

Ben coming in with haymakers right out the gate is crazy lmao

[@Katasunder]

42:31 The next 2 minutes I had to rewind 2 times, cause I was laughing so hard :D

[@Nidht]

Ha Eun is a hero. I love him.

[@bobsonny]

Given that Amir spelled out Ha-Eun's name, it's astounding how many people in the comments are just freestyling the spelling

[@D00Mpapi]

The few bits of content out there that make me smile with little effort - loved it

[@MOTHforLife]

Why is Ha-Eun always sitting diligently?

[@thewonderfulwizardoftheweb1053]

He’s in a wheelchai, ass.

[@RackieD]

"we're doing this because we love each other" Sums up JA entirely

[@leadollable]

"I think we do this cause we love each other" 🥺🥺🥺

[@LOLHICRONO]

so glad to see the 3 of you still doing stuff together, funny as always

[@darkknight072]

I can't believe Amir bit Sonic the Hedgehog.

[@devgonewild839]

Petition for Ha Eun to star on the pod instead of this Amir guy. 1 like = 1 more segment that Ha Eun features in.

[@anthesaurus5671]

Glad to have these voices in my ears again! 😊

[@DanWithLag]

Hogwash or Ha-eun a staple segment for sure!

[@C4rps]

I challenge anyone to make it through the last Hogwash or Ha-eun without releasing a sound

[@greatestghxst]

I started crying tears of soy @ 44:07. I got flashbacks, it was beautiful.

[@Jo-tl2fe]

Amir was the Geoffrey of the episode

[@agneseditsstuff]

The boys are back!

[@JarodWith]

Segment Idea: Jake and Amir in other media. Improv a Jake and Amir episode that’s set in the world of some other piece of media. (J&A in Westeros, J&A work at Waystar/Royco, J&A compete on Big Brother, J&A join the Avengers etc)

[@bobsonny]

Never would have guessed that there were Succession fans that also like the MCU flicks

[@non_brewed_condiment]

this video is amazing but makes me feel like I'm running late for something

[@TaterTots620]

Jake going "im gonna lose, lemme play" just about ended me

[@SeraphsWitness]

"Oops, All Ha-euns!" Is the winner of this episode and nobody even heard it.

[@bethanypapadopoulos6862]

I CANT HAVE A GODDAMN RASIN 😂

[@kimberlymcgill5558]

Every year I hope they publish a volume of their poetry. I am haunted H.E Kim’s poem.

[@EvilApple567]

I just preordered "Hogwash or Ha-eun" for PS5. Looking like a strong GOTY contender for 2024 and beyond.

[@QuestGoblin]

This was a real Ha-Yun episode.

[@xHaste]

Holy shit I couldn't stop laughing

[@jindigo888]

Ben should be a better friend and bring Amir Blumenfeld onstage

[@weezact7]

Also, I played along at home and Amir owes me $12, Jake owes me $27, I owe Ben $7. So Jake you can just pay Ben $7 and Jake and Amir can just pay me that 32 c-c-c-c-c-cash!

[@Psychol-Snooper]

If Amir were to figure out how those two poems worked he's be able to write poems. Poems are often like a joke, but meant to effect other emotions... instead of "ha ha" you go for "ah ha." Tricking someone into being surprised by emotions.

[@Skyscraper96]

the second poem was my favorite! 😂😂

[@marcduck111]

You probably love school

[@asmodeoloyalvillacorta508]

EVERYTHING with Ben Schwartz is the best! sooo refreshing, that man is just like cold water at 3am.

[@LiaaaaaaaaAAAAAHH]

the tomatoes segment had the vibe of a Ben watching 2 now homeless men he was friends with in college fight over a ham sandwhich.

[@Psychol-Snooper]

The riffing on Ha Eun is majestic...

[@h.rpickens1699]

44:07 he's not even gonna let me have a god damn RAISIN?

[@cheshc00]

Holy shit this is amazing. Thanks guys

[@Gus1494]

I know you guys are only a few eps in, but the more off-the-cuff segments like the rotten tomatoes quiz need some kind of pre-planning before hand. The downtime of watching you guys figure out the rules and scores/money makes the segment feel pretty rough and messy. Loving the show so far! Keep it up boys!

[@80lemon80]

In many ways it looks like Ben is sitting on Amir’s lap

[@Petey5544]

WE KNOW THE RULES OF HOGWASH OR HA EUN. it's.a fucking... known game

[@vt4032]

Now Geoff needs to play with Amir on the headgum podcast

[@jacobisweird280]

Ben is the voice of the martian in invincible (season 2)

[@McBaller96]

i love this video so much

[@Hi_Shu]

then Harrison, then harry 😢

[@syddagoestoitaly7693]

Ha Eun was honestly a great poem and I stand by it

[@abfg616]

Damn, I loved Ben in Randy Cunningham as a kid, wild to see him as I explore the wonderful world of Jelq and Ameerkat

[@jeremykurtz9031]

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix. Do you know who said that???" "Allen Ginsberg?" "Amir Blumenfeld" ".... no" This podcast, summarized so far.

[@cowabunghole]

Opa lives a Ha-Eun style life

[@bingshavebeenchilled]

Man Ben still can't get a God damn raisin?! What a legendary trio this is, in stitches nearly the whole time

[@i2cube]

Alternative title of this episode: Ha-un

[@JohnAZoldos]

I liked Amir’s poem, ngl!

[@switchmaster64]

33:53 for reference

[@adw4m]

Every episode should have a round of Hogwash or Ha-Eun

[@davidcummins8124]

,I think we're all getting Zoom fatigue at this point

[@nofskiepatofskie]

just like old times

[@gbird.]

these are mini masterpieces

[@flipdiesel9652]

BEST EP EVER. BEST EP EVER. BEST EP EV- COME ON GUYS CHANT WITH ME BEST EP EVER!!! YES DUDE

[@mb46438]

this is so flirty

[@ccohn0]

This is hard hitting

[@smashino]

Oops! All Ha-Euns!

[@manasavachat5101]

Seg-Ben-ia!!!

[@Vance37]

Jake looks like a handsome cowboy

[@matiasreba]

That was an entire segment of ads

[@davidsprobablydead8782]

give ben his goddamn raisin break

[@Hossyboy420]

Hogwash or Hae un is a banger

[@immortalsun]

44:35 You mean forward slash, Ben?

[@alexkennedy_nba]

Yessss, this is going to be good

[@todancewithpants]

I would pay an exorbitant amount of money if Jake and Ha-Eun showed up at a Ben Schwartz and Friends show

[@patrickschmidli9351]

Hogwash or Ha-un is hall of fame

[@ixihatinn]

Ha eun 2: when nature calls

[@Faerunner23]

Gotta love a ha-un original

[@20quindex10]

Ben is the wildest Hebrew in town

[@Smiththebat]

Cars 2 was absolutely the one people didn’t like and I CANNOT believe how far it’s fallen on Rotten Tomatoes. When it came out it was in the high 70’s maybe even low 80’s and that was BY FAR the lowest a Pixar movie had ever scored to date. Now it’s dropped all the way to 45%!!! Retroactive panning! How is that hair or rice?

[@Spacialjones]

I know we all love some Mir Mir and Josh The Gameboy………butttt how are we not in an uproar about our boy Benny Scwazzzzz being hungry?!?! Someone get that boy some food!
