Amir is a natural entertainer, his talent ages like a fine wine! At 65 he finally did what most comedians dream of, ranting about traffic!

[@hiddenfox2663]

this is a fantastic comment, yo.

[@brianyobbz497]

“If you weren’t funny you’d be the worst person ever” LOL Amir is such a legend

[@Jo-tl2fe]

Marika defending her druthers, is like watching a child passionately explain the rules to a game that they made up. I love it

[@soren5312]

​@Thickolas to be fair it is basically the first time Geoff has ever admitted Amir did a good job in any way.

[@reggierappis2530]

I think Marika was confusing Marika’s druthers with Marika takes the reigns

[@coolkatmehrfth]

Geoff’s dumb was wearing off on her, it seems

[@imajoredinpottery]

WOW

[@Thickolas]

True GumHeads know the difference

[@NotHeresrsly]

Amir's improvised 'tight 4' was amazing

[@AggroAverage]

So I don’t really care to look up the definition of Stockholm syndrome but I think Marika might have it for the Druthers segment.

[@cherryslat5702]

More Amir's druthers!

[@coreyperdue37]

It was supposed to be marikas things

[@nutmaster652]

36:50 That monologue is genuinely one of the funniest moments in the history of this show As someone who’s been watching his comedy for 10+ years, that is PEAK Amir 😭 And the cuts to Geoff, Anya, and Marika crying laughing makes it so much better

[@Dofgj]

I'm confused. This comment implies that you're older than 10, yet your username is nutmaster, lol

[@bobsonny]

never judge a blues by its brothers, and in the exact same vein, never judge a blums by its druthers

[@PaulBlartPetSmartFalseStart]

Make Tony Zero a reality. Whatever it takes. Fund it out of your own pocket Geoff, I want to see you getting a parking ticket

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Geoff’s drunk alter ego name should officially be Tony Zero

[@nutmaster652]

I cannot get over how much it seemed like Amir has been waiting for that opportunity to do that monologue for his entire life. The SECOND Geoff threw to him he was ready💀

[@BMDNERD]

Amir's "Druthers" was one of the greatest moments I've seen on this podcast. Also it's kinda crazy(Geoffish) how half this show is discussing how to edit this show.

[@Thickolas]

At a certain point the lack of content can become content if you're loud about it

[@imajoredinpottery]

If I had my druthers, Amir’s segment would be called Amir’s Musings 😤

[@elliotkeil6063]

“Oh Bother…” -Winnie the Pooh when he sees that they’ve uploaded a new headgum pod

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

“Oh brother, this guys STINKS!” -some fish watching Geoff attempt to host a podcast

[@billybobhamham8402]

The blind rage that Geoff went into @18:32 when Amir said "what's that?" is so cathartic

[@MrBallofa]

honoured to be mentioned

[@Tobiasberger]

Wow Thats was AMAZING improv by Amir! Has he considered a comedy as a career?

[@itsmeJawdy]

Amir’s druthers really turned my life around. I would listen to 40 minutes straight of Amir’s rambling. 😂

[@jp250]

Tony Zero really brought this show back to it's peak this week

[@benmeaders769]

The "Are grits rice? Grits count as rice" was literally perfect. I'm glad someone mentioned it. The Timing was perfect.

[@C4rps]

Amir's Druthers was the best segment in a long while. Maybe ever.

[@TheHighRoadToVictory]

Finally! They end at a funny spot without keeping in someone saying "just end there it there"

[@humanperson8061]

Anya's dope, I liked this group. This was a good episode. Geoff was gonna say he lives on the fourth floor.

[@carltonascarf7694]

The second half of this podcast is one of the funniest pieces of art ever; Amir's Druthers was incredible, the SD card incident created chaos that Heath Ledger would be proud of, Tony Zero was amazing, Casey's late entrance, all the while being underpinned by this Heart of Darkness/Apocalypse Now type scenario where we're not only seeing behind the curtain, we're seeing the smouldering remains of a once relatively normal podcast. Please never stop, it is beautiful to watch.

[@JuliaSzilagyiYoga]

Amir’s druthers is the most engaged I’ve felt with this podcast ever

[@SarcasticPersona]

Casey Donahue bringing back the energy at the end. That's the stepzather energy we know and love. Honorable mention to Pile getting credited at the end of the episode instead of Anya and Amir because his aura was consuming Geoff throughout the episode.

[@3scotto]

I’ll always appreciate the Headgum Podcast’s terrible energy. No other show creates such a disconnect, for me personally, that I achieve total thoughtlessness. Thanks to that part-timer Geoff, passing 45 minutes to an hour has never been easier.

[@coreyperdue37]

Dont let geoff let amir steal your bit marika i think next time youre on just go into your druthers right away and railroad his dainty ass. Show him who runs this whole shebang

[@stevemyers3082]

emphasis on SHE

[@coreyperdue37]

@@stevemyers3082 she's strapping up, ya little pup.

[@SonsaKay]

Laughed a bunch, great ep! Marika defending the truth of druthers was legit daaz!

[@camellia-m]

my favorite part of this episode is that the credits are from last week’s episode

[@Heisenberg-pr7pn]

All joking aside, this might be my favorite episode

[@MoMobarak-k1h]

Amir's druthers is just amazing honestly!

[@azamat_bagatov69]

nice to see Amir finally happy

[@gust.t.showbiz8065]

Great episode. Amazing start, strong finish, atrocious in between. Can’t believe the depth of the crater that the comment reading segment made, and even more surprised they climbed back out. In a vacuum, Amir put up a nice gradually building four minute rant. But coming out of that vacuum, from that segment, it was a Herculean recovery.

[@itsmeJawdy]

I actually freaking love this episode

[@BIDZ180]

31:56 - Beginning of the Tony Zero story

[@wazzer912]

That study hall episode was the first episode of the show I've seen and it was a terrible introduction 🤣 but i'm a masochist so i'm here again

[@quintenvandenberghe2496]

Someone must have accidentally started recording while Geoffrey was torturing his ‘friends’/colleagues. This was a real quartering of me.

[@unionize_me]

Another banger by Tony Zero

[@Brett.A]

Like a hemorrhoid after a wedding cheese bar, this podcast is back

[@Ghostboy_Nate]

The longer Amir spoke completely uninterrupted the harder I laughed

[@johnsMITHhhhhh88]

There actually is a 0 address (0 Prince Street) in my hometown of Alexandria VA, right across the river from DC. It was originally built offshore in the river, so maybe it's because 1 Prince Street was on the shore so they had nothing else to call it. There's also a 0 Cameron Street which has a marina.

[@jcdrummerz96]

This...was a perfect episode. No notes.

[@kelseyferguson1741]

i humbly request more of amir's druthers

[@karmaheaven7]

Marika, I love ya, but you got out-druthered, simple as that!

[@stottystott]

This was incredible. Amir was just coiled and ready to go, absolutely fantastic and a reminder that the old dog still has his bite. The closing moments were cinema. Watching bomb after bomb go off, such chaos. And amazing work by Geoff (I know) cutting the episode were he did. It left me wanting more. I want to tune in next week, by choice! And you know Marika isn’t gonna let this slide. She’s coming out swinging next time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@stevenagelutton4322]

just to expound on this great point you brought up--a senior citizen like amir, both feet firmly planted in the grave and death rattle laugh wheezing for all to hear--to manage to pull off a segment this funny is beyond impressive, it's notable!

[@peterbyykkonen8901]

36:39 Amir's Druthers

[@deadmo1]

Amir was on the thumbnail, I click! You beautiful beast.

[@stokahrr]

Once again I arrive here week after week, unable to escape this loop, I am a shame

[@Stabby543tv]

I actually did a ramen spit take when Geoff did the random loud fart noise 7:00

[@godthatsmellsgood]

Can’t believe they got Harold and Kumar’s Amir Blumenfeld for this, what a get!

[@THiiNlK]

The fact that they literally only record in a single room and still can't figure out a proper system for recording guests is more than fine, it's devastating.

[@aotscout1120]

33:57 He makes one joke and it kills Geoff's spirit 😂

[@takatotakasui8307]

Marika's Druthers has evolved into Marika being the host for x minutes

[@gracematassa5523]

My 45 mins of Friday joy. So refreshing.

[@BintaCoulibal]

amir's druthers is unironically my second favorite segment (behind the charred rice songs, of course)

[@yeildme911]

Amir’s druthers- legendary

[@andresluz4973]

The “we already did this” at 46:06 coming from a man who spent what felt like half an episode performing an unsolicited cover of Don’t Let Me Down and then using the other half to painstakingly analyze his, quite honestly, incoherent lyrics LINE BY LINE, leaving his much more talented co-hosts absolutely no room edgewise to contribute

[@MattCooper-cq9jy]

amirs druthers was the greatest thing this show has ever seen - probably because it was 4 minutes of zero geoff

[@featherbird666]

merch idea: a shirt that says "in the spirit of druthers" and another shirt that says "not in the spirit of druthers"

[@mikebrushing1851]

geoff's scott evans take was exactly what i was thinking whilst googling him too

[@jacksonmississippiisdefmyname]

I've taken to watching this Friday evening so that my drinking (as a result of watching) is more acceptable.

[@randonamepls]

Rip Johnny miss that guy like you wouldn't believe

[@counterpoprecords]

Amir's Loose 4 needs to be a recurring segment.

[@thutsman.]

Anyone else try to clean your screen at 21:03. Don’t worry, it’s not your phone, it’s just his wall.

[@RF-INF]

You guys have such nice chemistry

[@JasonTheKnighthog]

The Amir rant is the best moment in the HERstory of this podcast

[@williamhadjis5401]

Great Episode fr

[@thyme1]

sucks to say honestly, but i love this show

[@eIIemenopee]

You should definitely have the Hey Riddle Riddle crew on the pod, Erin is in LA and she could help unsour this spoiled milk of a concept

[@xaviersolomon]

This is good yall, like a return to form. No complaints

[@McBaller96]

32:00 I can’t stop thinking about this

[@matiasreba]

Berating and/or humiliating Geoffrey should be a recurring segment of the show, like Bond. Also that Amir rant was perfect

[@captainautobots]

3:28 "it's ok to smile and, like, enjoy what I'm saying" - Geoffrey James

[@benmeaders769]

Donahue is bringing the HEAT

[@seanculligan8592]

Geoff sounds like a nightmare to work with haha

[@late_blue]

Geoff is the antithesis of Stephen Sondheim (Aka Bondheim). Tony hero? Nah, Tony Zero.

[@OLOR.]

GREAT EP! S/O Tony ZERO! My hero?

[@apocase]

I'd pay good money to hear Amir's druthers for an hour.

[@siemprerm2763]

Took 166 to finally make sense of what the HM pod is: to highlight other pods in the network 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Qwerasd]

Honestly not a bad episode.

[@jamesw.3409]

It took me until 44 minutes to realize that Geoff's stage name was Tony Zero, not Tony's Gyros.

[@crapatoa]

No plugs. That's when you know it's a chine episode. That's cheese and fine.

[@Boopbeeboopdeboop]

Geoff doesn’t understand the spirit of Marika’s druthers. And he never will.

[@surfyswag]

Monumental episode

[@fun-fu2283]

Anya has a great laugh

[@YimstaNation]

I would say these 4 are a dream team, but this show is my waking nightmare.

[@donotworried]

Hilarious ep 😂

[@bezoekers]

Sandy would be an AMAZING James Bond (of the week or otherwise)

[@dylaningham9069]

Marika back with the only child energy

[@DaddyTuesdayNight]

Thanks for the shout out, I guess 🖕❤

[@WelhamGaming]

Geoff do one where your camera has slipped down and is just showing your shins under the desk for the entire ep, noone mentions anything about it.

[@TheUsualOfficial]

It's always only really ever been about Anya

[@stevemyers3082]

Tony Zero was really the big breath of fresh air this show needed. So glad he replaced that Geoff guy.

[@dantay8763]

I'm from London and i genuinely think i take psychic damage from the amount of boring, inconsequential LA jokes that I'm sure aren't even funny to people that are from there.

[@FalloutPro112]

WHAT AM I WATCHING. Get more sd cards

[@dmarr4941]

The review part was hilarious because I just read these reviews the day before this came out. LOL! (edit) The video going out and Amir's rant were HILARIOUS! This was a shit show. It's gotta be planned. LMAO!!!

[@holdenspencer2112]

Anya looks how do I say this…. Small?

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Amir’s druthers might have to be a permanent thing now. As long as Marika is ok with relinquishing her duties.
