Stevie Nicks does not end in an X. Absolutely disqualified, Jake. Not even close!

[@TheWolfGuardians]

Exactly! Total foul!

[@jaredhoughton7613]

Is it weird that Amir giving it his all on the song nearly brought a tear to my eye? I've got like an emotional disorder for this shit.

[@Ian-ns2dt]

15:14 Flag on the play, the kickers name is Younghoe Koo, not Kim. Amir has destroyed the sanctity of the Name a Celebrity Whose First Name Begins with the Last Letter of the Previous Celebrity's Last Name game

[@GoBoltsGo]

He’s also on the Falcons and has been for some time. He only kicked briefly for the Chargers years ago. Amir, you must do right by us and fix this.

[@wrenpiper7957]

Segment idea- Amir give Jake a random phrase to say during his next NADDPOD session, then you guys play the clip here once it happens. Maybe Jake gives Amir a random phrase to say during the next Buckets podcast?

[@alexkennedy_nba]

Amir was pushing it with that Amir Johnson answer 👀😂

[@btk72491]

lol seriously, Xander Bogaerts is a bigger name than Amir Johnson

[@NA-ov8gc]

He’s one of the all-time “wait, he’s only how old?!” guys since he was the last high schooler to be drafted and he played for a long time. Still, had to check when Amir said he plays for the Celtics, and he hasn’t played for them for 7 years! He’s coaching in the G League now.

[@TaterTots620]

Even Amir blumenfeld is a more famous amir

[@_intermission00]

I've started every Monday morning with Jake and Amir for years. People in my life hate me.

[@harrisongray5567]

as a falcons fan i would like to make it clear that Younghoe Koo is no longer on the chargers and he hasn’t been since 2019. also that’s not his last name. so amir lost at the 15:28 minute mark

[@jmonumber3]

and i feel like mispronouncing the name proves you don’t know who it is

[@BonIverismyangel]

theme song injects serotonin straight to my gourd

[@laylahassomethingtosay]

Them counting at each other both killed and heightened my high

[@mb9023]

Didn't know Stevie Nicks was spelled with an X

[@stevemyers3082]

Amir should have lost that game several times over before he did, so this is just the universe setting things right.

[@jmonumber3]

@@stevemyers3082yeah he said younghoe (pronounced phonetically) kim the chargers kicker instead of younghoe (pronounced young-way) koo

[@DonJewxote]

Amir automatically lost. It's Younghoe Koo not Kim. He rigged the bish

[@maxytheripper]

Yeah and its not pronounced like that

[@juicetuber]

the next iteration of poetry or noetry should include fan submissions trying to write poems in amir's voice

[@cyrr1213]

Loving segments so much!

[@knifeymcdont]

Sounds like Jake is finally becoming a parent, 8 months after becoming a parent. Congrats, bud.

[@bobsonny]

Let's be fair here: parenting is generally a continual process of learning and growth, so it's natural that Jake would be hitting different milestones at different times

[@chrisliden716]

Jake and Amir 2 juice that you can’t forget!! In twenty ten they were big on the internet! But then 3 failed pilots, 2 rejected movie scriiiiiiipts. One last ditch effort, to try to stop their careers from going to SLIT! Segments!

[@maxytheripper]

That is bullspit

[@stevemyers3082]

Amir should have lost that celebrity game like 6 times

[@nickfcarter]

Amir Johnson is an assistant coach for the NBA G League Ignite of the NBA G League

[@btk72491]

Bring back the OG theme song!

[@peterdurant3678]

As a new dad myself, I can relate a lot to Jake's baby stories

[@jermotank141]

Love the pod!

[@kielanshelton]

Love the show!

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Amir should absolutely not be able to name rando athletes

[@superdarroch]

If playing the name game in a larger group use the first letter of the last name, and if somone says a name with two of the same letter (Peter Parker) the order of the game gets reversed back to who just went. We also drink until you think of a name to make it more entertaining.

[@rdear]

Hi em with the Ha-Eun!

[@MissyFaye]

Thats hilarious bc I've used Mika's Grace Kelly as a quick warm up song quite a few times bc of how much it jumps around.. its like a lil song work out :P

[@devonscotttaylor]

stevie knix

[@johnc8209]

I like the betting money thing better and keepin an active balance of who owes what

[@SSSammyRCT]

I think they mentioned in previous eps that they send it right away

[@bobsonny]

You would like that, that, that math shit, Rod

[@morganchadd2355]

Tucker needs to step it up to help with Gemma

[@petebradford4027]

Stevie "Nix" 💀

[@jakedemedeiros9978]

Amir Johnson is NOT above a 5/10, turdy for Amir

[@whyfi2749]

Bruh dead ass I was more responsible and confident in taking care of my baby sister as a 13 year old child.

[@tino9718]

Instead of that famous people chain you could do one that goes actor-movie-actor-movie-… (advanced version: try to reach the name again with which you started).

[@takatotakasui8307]

51:41 The only show to go from paid advertisements to a segment about niche tech, which in many ways is indistinguishable from a paid advertisement lol did Geoffrey James help with the outline for this episode?

[@sloppyfresh]

It's Stevie NICKS you fools!

[@f.your.content]

stevie knickz

[@adamrodger5351]

Honestly I'm pretty bummed by the new weirdly positive theme song.

[@Boopbeeboopdeboop]

I miss the old theme song

[@kjfivetwoluver]

Steavie Nix!????? Turdy to both of you for that

[@20quindex10]

Bring back the old intro or I will cry

[@annalatos627]

The original song was great and would be fine with a more neutral interstitial

[@matiasreba]

the negative was better what does it mean to be emphatic? that's not a positive attribute

[@btk72491]

Xander Bogaerts is not an obscure baseball player at all lol

[@skalty9868]

Stevie Nicks is an S

[@djblast101]

I think theme should just me happy medium. Like a lil bit positive and little bit of negativity. Lol These two great lame host..... All things considered they did fine...

[@f.your.content]

[@dno718]

I once won the celebrity name game by saying Andre 3000

[@neilawatson4196]

Carrie bradshaw? The fictional mc of sex and the city 🤨

[@scottmiller3444]

Talk about Biden

[@anthony7960]

ending the name game on Stevie Nicks as an X and then a real baseball player that's actually pretty good not counting lol

[@poodoo138]

😐

[@Monosaccaride]

I love the new theme song! The ole self-deprecating shtick gets old after a few listens

[@CurlyMcNulty]

If you guys do another celebrity naming game you should have a producer be a referee to keep track of time and to ensure the celebrities are real and are being named correctly and to check with spelling because as many pointed out Stevie Nicks’ name does not end with an X. Also and it’s okay if I’m in the minority on this but stories about Jake’s baby shouldn’t be this long not trying to be a dick or anything but it’s just not very interesting content to me. Otherwise I am very much enjoying the pod.

[@incog.nyto.]

i really love the premise of this show but i'd really love to see your creativity come through with more segment ideas and preparation behind the scenes. I like to be up to date with your lives but sometimes it makes me feel like you're just taking advantage of this pod to catch up on each other, which I feel like you could do outside of the podcast. Not trying to be harsh, I know it's hard to consistently come up with new stuff every week but since it's the whole premise of the show... I kinda had my hopes up for more variety. Love you guys, still love the show but I really think it had a lot of untapped potential!

[@frzpop]

is this the time where I finally break down and post "first!"?

[@GregTurismo]

We are not complaining that it should go back to even nastier

[@sam9974]

Omg … with love, Jake lowkey sucks for this ep lol “Babysitting” his kid and other mildly misogynistic father tropes while talking about how hard 3 days were with his kid and no mention/praise of how it’s completely rad and normal for Jill to do the same thing waaay more often then talking a liiittle too much about porn - porn is obviously fine lol but just. It’s clear how much it’s on his mind😅 Love these two dudes but definitely go back to the self-deprecating theme song 🤔

[@anthony7960]

this comment is weirder than anything mentioned
