Every week I listen to the entirety of this show as a sort of reverse mental health exercise to keep me from becoming too happy

[@brinkabrink]

The hat is just slightly too tall wouldn’t you agree? There’s like an inch difference between a fashion choice and a joke

[@YouAintThatGuy]

The witch hat is appropriate, as this podcast is a curse

[@stevemyers3082]

Geoff must think his big hat will make up for his small personality

[@elliotkeil6063]

Again that’s discount code “What’s hat?!”

[@Decenium]

or those thin ankles

[@brianyobbz497]

This is one of my favorite podcasts and I can never tell anyone

[@robbyf5522]

I’ve been behind on this “podcast” and unfortunately started listening again, but I wanted to share what happened to me in the few weeks I wasn’t listening. After one (1) week I lost 25 lbs, my hair was growing fuller and healthier, my skin cleared up, and I felt so much more energy. After two (2) weeks, I had been promoted at work, I started a charity that helped the homeless in my community, and I had reconnected with my spirituality. After three (3) weeks things really started getting crazy, I’d become fluent in four languages, I was solving previously unsolved mathematical equations, and my touch was healing the sick! As the fourth week of not listening to this “podcast” was drawing to a close I was learning to walk on water when suddenly a KZbin algorithm error started playing this episode. I immediately sunk into the sea and nearly drowned. This devilish “podcast” kept playing as I desperately swam for the shore. By the time I hit the stormy beaches I’d lost everything, Geoff’s words, or lack there of, had cursed me again and stripped me of all my newfound abilities. This show is the work of the devil, although I fear the devil himself would not enjoy the horrors this show has brought on humanity!

[@motopixel50]

11:43 the foreshadowing, you can tell them freaking out a bit when Geoff questions it

[@donotworried]

From 12 to ? ? 😂

[@SarcasticPersona]

Geoff looks like The UnderJaker. He can't rest in peace... because he has a poor sleeping schedule.

[@devonscotttaylor]

the radio silence ratio of this pod is unmatched

[@Brett.A]

All hat, no wagon.

[@feroro9920]

A tail bone for a dumper on this sad, sad man

[@jessesaranow7724]

After last episode, this is honestly a breath of DEATH SNARE

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

Chicken has to be the best guest on this show, just turned their back to Jeff and said nothing for 45 minutes

[@elliotkeil6063]

I would’ve sworn this was true 2 days ago but now it’s Goldie by a landslide

[@lassehegaard]

Geoff looks like a potion seller

[@lobdooks]

But we must answer his riddles three first

[@Smiththebat]

Geoffrey James is what comes up under synonyms for Banal in the dictionary.

[@parkerkary631]

Nobody is quicker than Geoffrey James. "It looks broken" "Broken IN. it looks broken IN"

[@TheAtomicDom]

Yo give Brad a raise!

[@yeboy5158]

I can feel geoff's desperation from thousands of miles away

[@benlittleforest]

Geoff looks like Pharrell if he was from some bumpkin town like, I dunno, fucking Chagrin Falls, Ohio

[@girlgirlgirl1661]

allie is amazing! she is killing it and whenever i see her cat i know it will be a good episode

[@reko554]

AMIR at 11:40 is even better to hear now

[@BMDNERD]

The story Brad told at the end was so perfect in describing this trainwreck of a podcast.

[@azamat_bagatov69]

And shame on Jake for saving a cat!

[@elialexander8581]

“Anything he says turns to gold and everything I say turns to mold” is lowkey bars

[@donotworried]

Love every episode ❤

[@sofiaposadas1]

Eurmid is back!

[@Brian-nw3ey]

U supplemented vitamin E?! LMFAO🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bezoekers]

Forget the hat, forget the cat, look at that Jazzmaster 🤩

[@swiper33333]

Brad's story at the end was so good. Geoff is Kurt Weissman for this

[@josephvaz5238]

Geoff talks like Bing's weird AI search engine

[@staher1990]

🤣😂 Favorite moment where Brad tries to describe the podcast to someone 44:07

[@scrungly]

that hat is making me physically sick

[@azamat_bagatov69]

Shame on Amir for not returning to the last hour of the livestream. #AmirOut

[@ShadyRyRy]

#FakeHurwitz

[@allegrakarthasahana]

A fellow brown fellow and South Indian thanks you for the repeated shout out

[@dynaboyjl.4220]

I love brad one upping Geoff on Beatles knowledge.

[@late_blue]

I just noticed the intro theme has a great bass line

[@robbrutvan]

Omg amir foreshadows the livestream

[@fiImstruck]

34:41 Brad is the humble listener every episode. Does this show need an extra producer? We need to get Geoff back in the studio so he become the evil Merv Griffin that he is...

[@PepprCabbg]

i gotta say i love the hat

[@Thickolas]

Geoff your hat and... I want to say red health potion make you look like a character from Diablo 2

[@friendlywashchicago4328]

Allie and Chicken need their own podcast………

[@samstafford1661]

Agreed

[@incog.nyto.]

Is Geoff trying out for the live action Curious George or something? Why the hat?

[@dragonfly5586]

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

[@GregTurismo]

Major Key Alert: Wait your turn, is the funniest alert, major key wise

[@racooninabag]

this was an episode

[@azamat_bagatov69]

#FreeGeoff #AmirOut

[@RackieD]

He's a gold prospector of himself

[@RackieD]

"I'm Brad at you" was gold Geoff don't let them get you down

[@AlbertRutter]

This podcast has become my afternoon pick-me-DOWN, factually. Geoff's hat? It's more than fine. It's RICE. And his personality? It's never been.

[@serbtrash]

big hat on a small, small man

[@robbrutvan]

HOLY SHIT AM I THE STATE OF THE NETWORK???? AM I THE PRINCE THAT WAS PROMISED????

[@Shellitronnn]

headgum employees, if you’re reading this (and you are), keep up the good fight. hopefully this cbs thing works out for geoff and he becomes such a famous a-list celeb he’ll finally be out of your hair, and you out of his mustache/sour. my hope is that he gets a netflix special, it bombs, he becomes an snl cast member for 2 seasons, and then he’s sharing the silver screen with the likes of daniel. craig, radcliffe, or otherwise

[@donotworried]

Idly by 😂

[@dc44indy]

Honestly, it's pretty mid of Brad to name Paul as his favorite Beatle and pretty choice of Geoff to role with another GEO guy in Mr. Harrison

[@bradhild5169]

Paul gave me front row tickets to his concert, which gives him a SLIGHT edge on GEOrge.

[@lassehegaard]

Amir is in this.

[@dennischacko499]

Thanks Geoff for all the brown fellows. Idli is midli tbh

[@MattyP650]

Are these people homeless in LA? How the F are they splitting the revenue of 8.5k views between 4 people?

[@november9046]

In a hat with a side of geoff

[@dylanjc]

Geoff's hat is less of a gallon hat and more of a 128 ounces hat.

[@NotHeresrsly]

The Last time Geoff smiled easily with Amir

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

14:18 is the best pause in any episode, octomom of pregnant pauses

[@maxpower8460]

Why does it feel Geoff is using the podcast to write off this hat as a business expense?

[@aloecrush]

this thumbnail is ominous

[@TheArchsage74]

Fuck I forgot it was Friday today. Guess we're doing this again

[@TheGlazedBook]

Geoffrey plainview himself

[@leem2155]

this episode isn’t so bad, i guess.

[@leem2155]

never mind, i hadn’t begun to watch it yet.

[@jodyvett23]

Zaddy's juice

[@robertrichards6964]

Oh god

[@annathomas1155]

hey geoff. just wanna let you know the idli reference wasn’t lost on me

[@annathomas1155]

but i want to be clear: i hated it

[@Devosimms]

I'm worse for wear after this

[@dc44indy]

White boy here who understood the "standing idli by" joke. It was bad, man.

[@ohmsdotbox]

Cant call a show weird and bad if that's the point. The perfect comedy shield 😎👌

[@stevenagelutton4322]

Another episode down the shitter because Geoff is too confident/insecure about his wagon

[@davidhurst4883]

geoff & hat podcast

[@BigMcChriss]

So Geoff has just given up on segments huh?

[@azamat_bagatov69]

Why does amir hate Geoff!

[@rowanmiles5646]

My day was already ruined with that thumbnail, the episode was just insult to injury

[@markmcmillan4233]

16:15

[@allaroundtubin]

Hey Geoff! I think you’re great despite what all the comments say. And your hat is very fashionable. Keep up the great work!

[@smashino]

Geoff, stop with the vocal fry!

[@zombiez48survivl]

seeing that hat has ruined my life

[@anonymous-person1062]

5/10

[@DinDOJ]

How does this low effort banality get ads but Twinnovation doesn’t?

[@calvinmcmahon5749]

Episode sucked but then he did that kahnfidence joke and i mean....thats not nothing

[@Skimblie]

Fun show, good job, thanks Geoff

[@mikemcglasson1286]

I wish there wasn't a part of the show where they talk about the inner workings of the network. It's the most boring part

[@GregTurismo]

This is Week 1 of me asking if I can be a host on the Headgum Podcast. Hey Geoff and Amir, can I be on the show?

[@FunkVT]

This man is falling apart, in a way But damn does he look great

[@robbrutvan]

Can we afford my $280k base salary? Healthcare optional Amir can pay me in Bitcoin

[@PhartCreme]

id pay money if amir could be somewhat funny again

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

Amir is not in this episode

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

Oh no wait, there he is

[@adw4m]

Bad hat

[@Nidht]

Bad hat? Nah... Bad Geoff!

[@agneseditsstuff]

Brad hat

[@MattyP650]

Bad you

[@captainautobots]

This episode was mid.

[@lewiswashington9182]

I never comment just watch but I just got to say my boy you look like a pilgrim

[@squareheadhk]

Weird hat, bad host

[@commas1]

geoff is a pharrell of himself, williams or otherwise
