Worst Episode Ever 3? More like "Worst Episode Ever 141".

[@Nidht]

They're all terrible, this one just made it into the top 3.

[@AnAdequateViolinist]

You know Geoff names the episode right, agreeing with him makes you the worst by proxy I personally love this episode so far (4 minutes in)

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

It's only rice

[@sofiaposadas1]

Sometimes I have to check if my device is still playing this podcast… the empty silences make it seem like my phone doesn’t want me to have to endure this pain.

[@MartinWasTaken]

Same, I work as a courier and listen to it on my truck BT. Since I have to pause and unpause a lot, sometimes I have to check if my BT messed up or I accidentally paused it.

[@matiasreba]

Geoffrey one day woke up and decided he would 🥸 and did it

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

Omg a geoffmoji

[@heyheyhey520]

Marika is my source of strength. If she can stand Geoff’s Insolence for one more second, maybe I can persevere in my pitiful life.

[@AusyJo]

Drink every time you have to check your phone to see if the podcast is still playing.

[@sammystank7174]

I'm dead now thanks

[@Mira-qx9ke]

Squeal or no squeal unironically the best segment in a while, solely from how uncomfortable it made the room/zoom

[@incog.nyto.]

that segment made ME squeal

[@taylorbriceno5585]

I wish Geoff would go back to bringing this energy to the show, that segment was OG Headgum Podcast

[@ravenkliff]

Geofff being mean to Amir gives me the same energy as when you go over to your friend's house as a kid and they were unnecessarily mean to their parents

[@handfloboxingreview1673]

Geoff never fails to fail and I'm here to witness the train wreck as per usual.

[@GardenNomme]

The Geoff leaking amir's address bit is funny as fuck

[@rivv4902]

Played out bit

[@GardenNomme]

@@rivv4902 i don't listen to the podcast very frequently so I liked it

[@kylehandtunes]

RIP Johnny, miss him miss him

[@BoolyK]

I can't believe THIS is what was prioritized over Review Revue. Great energy from Marika, Amir, and Allie though

[@flipdiesel9652]

The amount of dead air in this episode is, well… pretty boss actually.

[@Brett.A]

Is Marika ceo yet?

[@JD-td2bk]

Squeal or no squeal is a Headgum hall of fame segment please bring it back

[@composurerift5209]

Geoff should be begging us to come back every week

[@noahking6539]

36:43 Amir making a joke just for Allie and Marika hinting about Geoff’s all day live stream

[@jcdrummerz96]

Petition to have Alfred Bardwell-Evans take over this show too

[@nickdifranco3268]

The foreshadowing for the 24-hour livestream...

[@donotworried]

😂😂 right? Amir laughing as well.

[@anthonysamuels1431]

This is actually the first episode where I am legitimately concerned about Geoff. And that's saying ALOFT.

[@stottystott]

I have myself to blame for having expectations of this being a banger of an episode. After a string of great episodes and seeing the rotating cast for this one, I was so excited and only disappointed at the run time. However, as the time elapsed it became clear that I was the fool, I was tricked. Saved in the last ten minutes, but it was half hour too late.

[@taylorbriceno5585]

Ironically the best episode in a minute. Geoff really took the show back to its roots with Squeal or No Squeal

[@michelphilippe193]

Marika's reaction and responses during Squeal or No Squeal was simply gold! I couldn't stop laughing

[@Shellitronnn]

geoff got passed up at one callback, and now we have to pay the price by seeing this…mustache (for lack of a better facial hair) weekly

[@jonoaks9834]

Amir is small in frame and Geoff is all to blame

[@nutmaster652]

Squeal or No Squeal made me laugh harder than any fucking segment you have ever done lmfao. Also the AOT “Kennyyyy!!!” caught me off guard

[@donotworried]

“You’re not too busy” … in hindsight this is funny and Amir’s laughs as well.

[@flipdiesel9652]

We DEFINITELY need more Squeal or No Squeal. I’m kidding when I say I was crying with laughter. DO NOT listen to Marika’s negativity

[@FifatlasHD]

I think Geoff needs a sabbatical.

[@JoshMarshain]

He's spread thin, threadbare, and he is sour.

[@alberteaux]

You guys make this look difficult.

[@GregTurismo]

I’m really nervous.. but at least Amir is here so I feel safe.

[@surfyswag]

I look forward to the class action lawsuit that will be filed for listeners [victims] of the squeal or no squeak segment

[@adamsillup5386]

Every week I say this is the last time I'm going to listen to this show; and yet somehow I find myself clicking on the play button every Friday. Geoff wins I guess.

[@Markos_von_Krieg]

It’s pretty safe to say that was the absolute worst game ever played on this show. To call it a game is degrading to the very idea that someone could have fun with that. I loved it. See your ass next week, Geoff!

[@GregTurismo]

Did anyone hear that cat meowing at the end? Did Amir have that in his backpack?

[@GypsyDishwasher]

Alternative subtitle: "Worst Episode Ever 3": Geoff bombards Amir, Marika, and Allie with a torrent of incoherent, incomprehensible shrieks, shouts and other exclamations and then subjects them to a game of "Squeal or no Squeal".

[@oracle8537]

The first two "Worst Episode Ever" episodes were actually bearable (loved the one where George was just there to look pretty). This one however was aptly named. This was Zona Gale bad. Didn't you step away from your duties as the host of a different (better) podcast recently? What are you using that extra time to do? Grow a girthier mustache? Anyway, Marika carried as usual and bring Johnny back. ✌🏿

[@JoshMarshain]

28:51 The Skip Squeal or No Squeal Button

[@dumbassJPG3]

never did I think loud squeals (or non-squeals) in my ears would be pleasant , but Geoffrey James has performed yet another miracle.

[@leviwardrobe3328]

This podcast mostly survives (although barely) on the sunk-cost fallacy. So I watched this in the morning, and was exhausted by the time the "Squeal or No Squeal" splash screen came up. For once I smartly called it quits, knowing the episode wouldn't get better. I went for a walk, played with my dog, played videogames with my husband, and made dinner then watched the new episode The Last Of Us. But I came back at 9:10pm after a few beer thinking "It's Friday, I'm in a good mood I might as well finish it, there'll be a gem or two." It is now 9:19pm and I honestly want to go to bed. Edit: I didn't even see the timestamp. It is over. I'm free.

[@purts2]

Can Amir get canceled for saying a 13 year old is an adult to him?

[@natedavis1125]

Every episode should be titled Worst Episode Ever due to the simple fact that each one is 10x more painful than the last

[@graythomaslewis]

this episode was extra bad and by bad I mean good by which I mean bad. the demon on the launchpad from hell really brought it for the episode, leaving my eardrums bleeding AND smiling. super excited for this powerful episode with the CORE FOUR

[@soren5312]

39 minutes? I deserve so much more than this.

[@timgehrsitz3267]

This podcast is so incongruent with the rest of this channel / other podcasts / comedy / reality, I love that I hate that I love that I hate it

[@btk72491]

Seriously what dirt does Geoff have on Amir that he is still permitted to have a podcast?

[@grlluigi]

i know we like to joke here but this ep legitimately gave me a headache

[@fiImstruck]

Geoff, just because you're an american and you don't want to work, doesn't mean "americans don't want to work"

[@lassehegaard]

Amir is in this.

[@samspantsandplants]

All I needed to know.

[@JoshMarshain]

Unfortunately

[@coolkatmehrfth]

Allie is a shining light at the end of a 141 episode long tunnel.

[@kuwabara3226]

am i the only one who gets sad when there are no ads, like i feel bad for everyone involved. if they didnt make any money what was this all for

[@Chaser324]

Truly awful listening experience, and yet, I'll still be back next week. Clearly I need help.

[@AngelLeon21]

Damn... kind of a waste of the core 4, right?

[@lax398]

7:00 best bond of the week from amir in at least 3 weeks

[@megsward6758]

this episode scared me. and i think it scared allie, too.

[@chabaryanhotmailcom]

Squeal or no squeal made me laugh out loud

[@MrBallofa]

Bring back Squeal or no Squeal please!

[@T4ke2]

I hate to be sincere when talking about this show, but I really do miss when Geoff asked the guests questions about them/talked about Headgum shit as opposed to just reading off headlines.

[@enquivlug]

4:32 is Geoff opening a soda or something lmao

[@Qwerasd]

Squeal or No Squeal is perhaps the most deranged, antisocial... bad... sad game Geoff has come up with thus far.

[@thesquirrel2]

40 minutes? Geoff getting off easy this weekend. He deserves to suffer through at least a full hour of work.

[@julieburnsTY]

Marika is the best person i've never met to be sure

[@julieburnsTY]

at 21:05 i truly had to press pause. immediately following the cvnt convo "who in the office -" the eyebrow raise from Allie.. dear lord

[@r4ng3rz25]

Very difficult to listen to the audio-only on this one lol. Like genuinely bad

[@MrDrysk]

Does Geoff want people to stop listening?

[@BigMcChriss]

39 minutes? Guys its dying

[@GregTurismo]

Can I edit this podcast?

[@user-xj2sm3xd5l]

I'm gonna need some more squeal or no squeal please.... and a side of sauce

[@sofiaposadas1]

Allie! So pretty

[@samstafford1661]

Allie is a rocket. Her and Chicken are better than this….

[@stephlrideout]

My cat hated squeal or no squeal but I thought it was pretty chill actually

[@rompasodome]

Squeal or no squeal absolutely broathe life into this otherwise terse episode

[@C4rps]

Actual core 4 episode. Yes dude!

[@C4rps]

Nevermind.

[@GregTurismo]

21:01 is my favorite part

[@matiasreba]

finally the core four

[@BCKMProductions]

You see the problem is they stopped leaving the show so Geoff just gets away with it now

[@dylanjc]

Only 39 minutes? Maybe BEST episode ever.

[@dylanjc]

I posted this before watching. I stand corrected.

[@justlikeabat]

Shakespearian

[@toddziadly]

This was horrific. 10/10.

[@Cranb]

Why am I choosing to listen to this?

[@carterwatson8594]

Boy, I guess the world is a worse place because CBS Showcase didn’t work out.

[@samuelmaki1784]

This show should be entirely sponsored by Stockholm Syndrome

[@dprender97]

Bring back Comite!

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

The squeal or no squeal pause was so long I had to check to see if my video was paused or not. (I did recognize your little meme sounds geoff but I also refuse to acknowledge you.)

[@stevenagelutton4322]

You dragged Allie and Marika onto the pod to produce THIS??

[@aldorn7189]

As a new listener, I gotta ask, what the fuck is this? EDIT: Okay, listened to the whole thing, still confused. Is it bad on purpose? Because it seems to be, but that can't be good for business?

[@Shellitronnn]

i’ll answer your last question first: this show used to regularly average 2 ad reads, sometimes more. and as for your last question? it’s never been

[@devonscotttaylor]

this is definitely one of the worst of the best eps

[@robertrichards6964]

Did I just hear Levi Ackerman in this episode

[@delusi0n]

I LOVE CHICKEN AHHHHHHHH

[@EtcEtcEtcFilms]

This was certainly an episode of this podcast 😅 my god

[@azamat_bagatov69]

Why so short :(

[@TheHunterDavidson]

would love to see them get johnny villa back on the sax/fax if he can stomach geoffrey’s coy behavior

[@williamshenlin]

bro do they do aftercare for amir or is this just how he lives

[@ad-xu2hp]

holy fucking shit. are you okay dude?

[@dominikreisel5136]

"I hope that director was famous..." and nobody shouts that his other latest movie was fucking MAD MAX FURY ROAD. ofcourse he gets a free pass on a crazy idea.

[@zin.bricks]

35:24 hospital soon

[@liamfionan9695]

22:18

[@cshoop13]

What if I said this is the best episode yet? It’s not, but like what if I said that?

[@speedboy6385]

felt really uncomfortable listening to squeal or no squeal out loud. 10/10 worst episode.

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

Amir is not in this episode

[@UFODave69]

Fuck this was bad. See you next week

[@azamat_bagatov69]

why does amir hate geoff!

[@azamat_bagatov69]

Why does Amir hate Jeff?

[@matiasreba]

Why does the podcast network founder always has the worst mic placement
