Best Episode Ever - The Headgum Podcast - 231

[@TheArchsage74]

This is like the 4th time Geoff has had Covid. God is trying to kill kim but he's too elusive and slippery for divine intervention

[@cshoop13]

I cannot believe y’all forgot the actual first episode when Geoff was absent and Marika hosted…. Now THAT was the best episode ever

[@tristanneumann5060]

In all honesty I do kinda miss Geoff, like I do appreciate the fact that he's there, and now that he's gone...I never, you know...we took it for granted. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Next week should be the cross examination episode where Geoff brings all four back and line by line questions everything they said today.

[@jubejube1]

Another audit perhaps?

the best part of this episode existing might be that when he returns to the show he's going to be so amazingly dramatic about everything that happened while he was gone

[@scottmiller3444]

Amir thinking that the comments criticizing Geoff are sarcastic is concerning. Geoff is actually a poisonous man who haunts my dreams and the joy I felt listening to this episode without him was unlike any joy I’ve ever felt. Feel better soon Geoff

[@pizzapie_4202]

This week I was struggling with my mental health but a weekend without Geoff has a healing effect.

[@jimmysonglaugh8110]

I always forget how noticeable Geoff’s absence is. The show is completely different

He’s not that old! (Off days reference)

HG loremasters/loremeisters will recall that Brown Jordan was initially conceived by Geoff 2 months ago on the Hospital Johnny episode around the 24:10 mark if I had to hazard a guess, or whatever.

4 Human beings does not make a podcast. You need a chaotic gremlin man hell bent on putting the guests on edge

[@SamHandwiches]

I don't wanna say Geoff is the glue holding this all together, because he's more like a paste

[@darkknight072]

Imagine you are Geoffrey James AKA BROWN GEORDAN, you're lying on what could very well be your deathbed, you've been infected within an inch of your life, you're getting worse by the minute but you told everyone you were getting better so they wouldn't worry. As you slip in and out of consciousness you check your phone and watch your mentor, your boss, your FRIEND tell you THIS 39:07 THIS THIS THIS THIS POISON. I mean, how dare they?

[@carltonascarf7694]

Geoffrey is like reverse Samson - as his hair grows he becomes weak

[@counterpoprecords]

I do like the idea of a recurring segment where Amir asks Anya about whats going on with his own company (ie. Studio updates)

[@takatotakasui8307]

It would be really funny for them to abandon Daniel Craig in search of a younger Bond, only to cast Danny DeVito

[@gooberdudes]

Everyone's already in on the joke I know but this ep really proved that without Geoff's random conflict the Headgum pod wouldn't be a show. Anya Casey and Amir (intentionally listed last) just don't have it in them to antagonize each other.

[@GaryDunion]

Cancel me if you must, but I for one hope Geoffrey doesn't die

[@cyrr1213]

for one

[@anthesaurus5671]

Not watching without my Geoff

[@user-pt4xh2jr8h]

I need a 3 part harmony (Sam can join in too if he feels obligated) to Riceburn/Skyfall to make up for the fact that none of you remembered that Marika hosted the only good and Geoff less episode of this “show”. ASAP

[@beneklund5762]

Something’s… different this time. I can’t put my finger on it.

[@Thickolas]

Legitimately Anya and Amir are a pod-worthy duo and I thought this was an excellent ep. But when Marika hears that Casey got the channel demonetized with that 'Get It Started' sound bite I'm pretty sure she's going to kick... I wanna say, Sam's ass

[@SarcasticPersona]

It was definitely a great episode. It was nice having a regular funny conversation see itself to a natural conclusion instead of being hit by a truck almost immediately after it started. Anya, Casey, Amir, and Sam, a well-deserved round of applause.

[@SarcasticPersona]

Part 1 or...

[@phillipobrien7961]

This is fine. Bring Geoff back.

[@sam9974]

I think we’re all entitled to witness the energy of Geoff and Sam in the studio at the same time

[@brandbacktattoo]

the sound button roll call is what made this the best

[@sam9974]

I LITERALLY deserve so much MORE than this

[@JohnWilliams-zv7eb]

Anya Proved she is Anya zero in this episode because I couldn’t even make it past the zero mark without Geoff.

[@80lemon80]

Amir’s process of getting in to the Bernie impression actually helped me learn that I do a much better Bernie impression so thank you Geoff I guess for not showing up and allowing me an opportunity to learn something about myself for a change

[@i2cube]

This is definitely Geoff's best performance ever

[@donotworried]

Get well soon Geoff ❤

[@zerocraic3966]

I found this pod before knowing jake and amir and geoffs absence really highlights how much of a geoff amir really is (or i guess geoff is a carbon copy amir) pristine episode

[@loganstewart1161]

I got eight ads on this video. Singlehandedly paying Geoff's salary.

[@ark_isle8936]

The worst part of this episode is that running the soundboard/producer slot may have humanized Geoff in Casey's eyes.

[@chrisbyerly]

Is this what listening to a podcast is supposed to feel like? I feel so unburdened, light almost. The guests seem happy, they're laughing and enjoying each other's company. Is this what joy is? Geoff has been talking about creating joy for so long, and for the first time I'm experiencing it in his absence. It sounds like covid is really taking a toll on him, and I of course don't wish ill upon him. But could it be.. that covid is to Geoff, what Geoff is to this podcast? God why am I crying, I feel like I'm having some kind of fucking epiphany or something lol. Anyway my Bond of the week is Shia Labeouf.

[@jasenoble6]

[@rivv4902]

Sam killed it this ep!

[@Nintendude61]

I hope Geoff learns the right lesson from this: a segment should be set up to let the guest share an opinion, thereby participating creatively. It’s not that hard

[@NicoWorm]

Geoff not being here gives me the same sense of respite that I get when someone cancels an event I was obligated to attend, but was not looking forward to. I feel like I just took my jacket off and put on some sweatpants.

The podcast really misses a certain energy w/o Geoff, it’s like backpacking through a rainforest w/o the bugs biting you. Just doesn’t feel right. Hope he feels better soon 💖

Anya has terrible political takes. Bernie is constantly moving to the center? Jesus Christ.

[@msrpmusic303]

This is me completely falling into my old man yelling at clouds and shaking his fist at the neighborhood kids... but leave politics out of my damn comedy podcasts. There are other avenues for having political conversations. The abortion song last week, the beautiful, charming and talented Anya's comment about being disappointed in Bernie for working with the Trump administration (to cap credit card rates at something under 35% mind you)... I listen to this podcast to not think about all the nonsense and division. I love you guys, Jake and Amir have been with me for 15 years or some shit? Geoff is the torchbearer I never knew we needed for J&A style comedy. The rest of the crew seem like great people (except Pile). Fuck god damn politics.
