Rubbing Ebbles - The Headgum Podcast - 105

[@leoschuehle1170]

All jokes aside, fantastic episode. An all-time great. Marika, Amir, and Casey were in top form, great lineup. Jeff should’ve never been rehired. 10/10

[@Instanence]

asking for Marika's peak is irrelevant. she HAS peaked, she IS peaking and she will CONTINUE to peak.

[@bryanburns4874]

yes, a peak implies the existence of not one, but multiple, slopes/inclines that descend downward. so the word “peak” may not be applied to Marika, as she does not have these

[@flamingsketches]

@@bryanburns4874 she is a plateau, a tibet of herself, the highest plateau of peaking within the human race as we know it

[@Winteramen]

Marika is the opposite of Dennis Reynold

[@Skimblie]

I'm glad to see Amir looking very relaxed. I listen to this while doing other things and it adds to the laid back vibe

[@mikemcglasson1286]

I'm cool with Amir laying down

[@benlittleforest]

Really enjoyed amir's vibe. Really chill. A good balance to Geoffrey's... Demeanor

[@jonathandb91]

Geoff's demeanor? How about Geoff's "Die meaner!" 'Cause he's a mean German of himself

[@mikemcglasson1286]

"His jaw can cut not only cut glass, but also tension". I get this comment section is a place to poke fun, but I think Geoff might be a genius... of jorts

[@kevinboushel154]

I like the format of this podcast should as Amir therapy sessions, but like the opposite of therapy

[@Ian-nn1fn]

TGMIH - thank god marika is here

[@moonliterature]

I missed marika so much she’s so good at telling Geoff off

[@smashino]

I loved that Amir was horizontal!

[@ThePantheons]

Marika is getting peaker and peaker every episode. She's in her peak era. She's a friggin dime and she IS top dollar. ZOE WE LOVE YOU

[@SonsaKay]

Marika's amazing, Amir lying down vibe added to the experience, Casey nailed it, and Joff's cat is nice!

[@nutmaster652]

This is one of the best vibes this show has had in a long time lol. Also “like 2 people” thirsting over Marika is wildly low because I feel like most people only comment in order to show/spout love for her OR to spout hatred when she is not on the show

[@BwuhMowoment]

The truly fucked thing about this show is how there isn't really a protagonist in any meaningful sense The best we have is Marika, but she only appears at a deuteragonist rate at best :'(

[@nora_adora]

not to mention

[@kuwabara3226]

im irrationally angry about no one knowing the animals and geoff suggesting they were a one hit wonder

[@oldbooge]

The cross we all have to bear is tuning in to this podcast every week! I say bear because its like getting my ears mauled by one for an hour straight.

[@heyheyhey520]

I listen every week, and it makes me weak.

[@heyheyhey520]

another testament to Marika’s greatness: I was able to finish this episode. Despite Geoff’s being an absolute shugarin falls of himself.

[@brinkabrink]

17:00 for those looking for the rubbing of ebbles

[@BurningRoman]

Really no chance if he’s already pissed in the ad read

[@clarkmiex21]

God damn it, not this again. Every Friday? Really?

[@cdromschannel]

another week being tormented by this, this, this Dorito on a stick, for lack of a better term

[@hellomarjory]

there are definitely better terms

[@Angels510]

Doughrito*

[@C4rps]

Nice preparation from Geoff for a change. The 73 questions were, for lack of a better term, good.

[@karyharps]

"major key alert! I dont actually have anything but let's see what I can come up with *major key alert* don't forget to bond with your loved ones" Geoff is a true inspiration in improv comedy

[@ianrichardson1886]

A chipmunk and his favorite Petco employee…love it.

[@bsmjth]

Marika is amazing, Amir is… fine I guess. Geoff please leave. Also get Casey on the pod ffs

[@awoodhouse17]

why dont you like geoff?

[@codywebber8199]

Oh my gosh that rubbing ebbles bit got me crying laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@Heisenberg-pr7pn]

I just began listening to this podcast. It's so funny and enjoyable actually.

[@AryehLifeProject]

Loved Amir lying down

[@ConverseSC]

I really enjoyed this episode, it felt like going back to the basics. The basics of course being how horrible Geoff is as a host.

[@Fauxry]

This is definitely one of the funniest episode

[@user-pt4xh2jr8h]

This is why Ellie needs a new home

[@captainautobots]

2:22 ad ends 15:41 dating in LA 17:08 rubbing ebbles 27:18 ad 2 ends 48:28 try to strangle him

[@donotworried]

My favorite crew is here

[@ejoshcoron]

31:33 the timing on that sound clip 😂

[@shipwreck9146]

39:45 I wish I could use this "I've never had sex" joke, but people would believe me.

[@swiper33333]

Maybe the best episode of the pod so far. 73 vague questions was incredible. "Sunglasses at night! or other?" "Other."

[@andrewtogold6348]

Geoff looked 13 years old his whole life until he turned 18 at which point he looked 30. And still does

[@Wiggles2797]

Personally my favourite house is Hugh Laurie and his favourite band/musician according to some cursory research is Bruch’s Violin Concerto in G Minor! I really liked the vibe of this pod especially when Amir lay down. Would be great to see guest under a duvet maybe even asleep? Some food for thought 🤔. Fun ep despite the inane questions 8/10

[@chillscorpion2215]

I think dating Marika is like dating in LA. Imagine going to New York to see Marika, with the explicit goal in mind to have an in with a, for lack of a better term, podcast company! I can leverage my connection to Marika and Headgum into an interview with team Coco, and before you know it I'm replacing Conan O'Brien on his own show. Yeah. So with that all in mind: Marika, you can take my reigns anytime.

[@ClonedControls]

♫ You must not know bout' Cedi ♫

[@meetsnarf9051]

Amir and Marika are the best foils for Geoff, I miss them on every episode they're absent from

[@GregTurismo]

I thought these were vague? Why do the questions become more and more specific?

[@danieljwa]

Can we try Amir prostrate on the next ep? I really think I'd enjoy the show more if he was planking throughout.

[@callummoroney1711]

This show is my guilty displeasure

[@micparker2235]

Geoff: muscles almighty, ankles so tiny. Everyone else was a dream.

[@skalty9868]

Geoff is a zaddy of himself today

[@nolanmurphy3056]

The most pissed anyone's been talking about CBD

[@andrewtogold6348]

Cool to learn that Geoff is a Kim possible stan

[@zzXertz]

dropped a like just for the michelin possible joke

[@docholiday745]

Really nice thumbnail on this one!

[@mikemurdoch819]

Wait…are you ganging up on Marina for the next hundred episodes? This dynamic is weird…I love it.

[@Thickolas]

Also, shoutout to Donahue's literary picks. Raymond Carver is the STOAT

[@rendog444]

Wow where’s hurwitz? Again? Starting to think he got ousted

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

I thought all the comments here were memes on how bad this is but it's all true. The host yawned! The co-host almost feel asleep for most of it! 10/11

[@crapatoa]

Great ep

[@chiggles808]

its Amir horizontal for me

[@simonwayne7916]

THE FOSTER CAT ❤

[@MrBallofa]

The Fucking Ad is so abrasive to start the episode?

[@smashino]

Why does Geoff always bring these exhaustingly long and worthless segments to the show? Makes me hangry to be sure.

[@takatotakasui8307]

37:00 Honestly... Marika's hot

[@dynaboyjl.4220]

House of the Rising Sun is Eric Burdon & The Animals.

[@NotHeresrsly]

Oh no - Apologies to Marika for the amount of gross praise she's going to get in the comments this episode, and the even worse 'joke' insults

[@MrWednesday3]

Man, does this thing need another layer??

[@Thickolas]

Seems ok so far. It's wild that Headgum's youtube commenters are better at self-editing than Geoff

[@NotHeresrsly]

@@Thickolas right? It's like the opposite of the Earwolf reddit

[@VanillaGh0st1]

ebbles: 17:00

[@GregTurismo]

Did you see my comment on the last video? Or I mean the one with George?

[@lassehegaard]

Bad lighting

[@Trumben]

Rubbing ebbels is the same as….., for lack of a better term, autofellatio

[@wesleydellinger4344]

That’s a fine term and no it isn’t

[@emlyons]

are we not gonna talk about how with the hair and the hands hiding in the shirt sleeves, geoff is channeling ariana grande? id like to see this reflected in the next musical bit

[@Thickolas]

Marika is cool, and Geoff is a lower lifeform in man's clothing

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

jeff and marika looking extra hot, happy pride lmaooo. amir you look chine,' okay, even

[@GregTurismo]

Gracias

[@GeejMusic]

But how many Rubles?

[@HalzyonMC]

I have a nice pair of RANKLES. Regular ankles.

[@TheLoonmaster]

If I were to give Marika a performance review it would be most

[@larvaedadindex]

Nice save almost cussing on the ad read Geoff

[@phil.connah]

I cant tell if geoff is a real person or if is just playing a role his entire life

[@Chamerlengo]

Top Gun is a glorious American folk tale. But it’s ok Marika, you’re allowed to be wrong, this is America after all…..thanks to Top Gun.

[@Catteralluwu]

It's so unfair...

[@Winteramen]

"Green tea ice cream is nah" WOW first time in my life where I actually think Amir's a *diva roach* for this

If I'm wrong, then correct me.

Quite genuinely, Marika is the only good part of these anymore.

[@feroro9920]

This is the quintessential Headgum Podcast episode - but to fully appreciate its artistry (or lack thereof) you have to have had your sense of humour poisoned by at least 15 other episodes.
