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!

[@coreyperdue1966]

It was supposed to be marikas things

[@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

[@bobsonny]

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

[@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

[@jennamarx8113]

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

[@jp250]

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

[@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

[@Tobiasberger]

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

[@billybobhamham8402]

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

[@itsmeJawdy]

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

[@imajoredinpottery]

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

[@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.

[@TheHighRoadToVictory]

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

[@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.

[@C4rps]

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

[@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.

[@humanperson8061]

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

[@camellia-m]

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

[@SonsaKay]

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

[@coreyperdue1966]

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

[@coreyperdue1966]

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

[@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.

[@azamat_bagatov69]

nice to see Amir finally happy

[@MrBallofa]

honoured to be mentioned

[@quintenvandenberghe2496]

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

[@benmeaders769]

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

[@JuliaSzilagyiYoga]

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

[@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!

[@Heisenberg-pr7pn]

All joking aside, this might be my favorite episode

[@BIDZ180]

31:56 - Beginning of the Tony Zero story

[@itsmeJawdy]

I actually freaking love this episode

[@natedavis1125]

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.

[@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

[@user-ux8wi6hi9y]

Amir's druthers is just amazing honestly!

[@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.

[@peterbyykkonen8901]

36:39 Amir's Druthers

[@jaylabo]

Another banger by Tony Zero

[@karmaheaven7]

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

[@stokahrr]

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

[@thutsman.]

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

[@jcdrummerz96]

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

[@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

[@deadmo1]

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

[@Brett.A]

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

[@kelseyferguson1741]

i humbly request more of amir's druthers

[@featherbird666]

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

[@gracematassa5523]

My 45 mins of Friday joy. So refreshing.

[@Stabby543tv]

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

[@aotscout1120]

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

[@godthatsmellsgood]

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

[@takatotakasui8307]

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

[@MattCooper-cq9jy]

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

[@williamhadjis5401]

Great Episode fr

[@yeildme911]

Amir’s druthers- legendary

[@counterpoprecords]

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

[@RF-INF]

You guys have such nice chemistry

[@mikebrushing1851]

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

[@xaviersolomon]

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

[@BintaCoulibal]

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

[@jacksonmississippiisdefmyname]

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

[@captainautobots]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@JasonTheKnighthog]

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

[@seanculligan8592]

Geoff sounds like a nightmare to work with haha

[@benmeaders769]

Donahue is bringing the HEAT

[@surfyswag]

Monumental episode

[@donotworried]

Hilarious ep 😂

[@apocase]

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

[@OLOR.]

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

[@matiasreba]

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

[@late_blue]

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

[@siemprerm2763]

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

[@crapatoa]

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

[@fun-fu2283]

Anya has a great laugh

[@Boopbeeboopdeboop]

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

[@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.

[@DaddyTuesdayNight]

Thanks for the shout out, I guess 🖕❤

[@YimstaNation]

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

[@bezoekers]

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

[@dylaningham9069]

Marika back with the only child energy

[@stevemyers3082]

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

[@julieburnsTY]

no way that's how the ep ends

[@randonamepls]

Rip Johnny miss that guy like you wouldn't believe

[@munsterdesign]

charred grains

[@holdenspencer2112]

Anya looks how do I say this…. Small?

[@FalloutPro112]

WHAT AM I WATCHING. Get more sd cards

[@122gogreen]

I fucking knew I was born to be a star Market

[@caseys782]

This whole time I never realized that Tony Zero is his stage name! Am I the only one?

[@issacadams9519]

A nothing ending, to a nothing burger. Hold the everything
