Geoff’s outfit screams drinking water out of a box.

[@MrNylenRules]

It gives “screaming into a box”

[@Thickolas]

I hate to say this Zach... but the viewers of this show are now and have always been intensely interested in your exact job title and compensation

[@kuwabara3226]

i love the episodes that that amir cant hide the fact that geoff seriously makes him crack up

[@DenderFriend]

They try so hard to play up the "everyone hates Geoff" gag but in person it is far easier to tell they love him

[@phunkybarbie]

It’s really cute that Geoff is cosplaying as Michelle Tanner from Full House. For this episode, I’m going to cosplay as her from Fuller House - which is to say, not participate.

[@leviwardrobe3328]

First episode of December and I feel like, honestly, Geoff is already spreading holiday JEER. I'd wish him a happy birthday but my therapist told me to stop taking the high road and cut my losses.

[@chrism45]

I've been overcome by that Friday feeling since Geoff's birthday. Happy birthday to... well, Geoff!

[@Bailey-dj6hz]

How do they not address the scene Geoff wrote was basically a jake and amir

[@T4ke2]

Actually this is the four and a half timers club for Zach because he said he was in the three and a half timers club last year for being on that episode where Geoff called him.

[@quintinbovre5901]

there's definitely a generational disconnect haha. You were just referencing a meme, but everyone took it at face value :D

[@chabaryanhotmailcom]

Geoff has the same birthday as my dad and now I finally understand why I keep putting up this podcast even though it’ll never be proud of me

[@takatotakasui8307]

29:42 The irony of Geoff saying Rick and Morty isn't funny, then immediately laughing at the idea of a plot in a Rick and Morty episode

[@BoolyK]

The Headgum Podcast is out! Guess I have to fall back into the bottle earlier than I wanted....

[@brianyobbz497]

Happy Birthday Geoff, from the bottom of all of our FARTS

[@papakep]

Zach said “Luigi” but I heard “Louie G.” and I had to tell someone that so here I am

[@ShaunHautly]

I haven't yet watched this, but I'm SO excited for this episode. I've listened to the first one more than five times.

[@jcdrummerz96]

June 3rd really is the GOAT birthday. Zach Dunn, Reilly Anspaugh, Anderson Cooper and...well...me

[@GregTurismo]

Amir laughed so much during the table read 😂 I have no idea how he was able to keep a straight face during Table Read 1 or Table Read 2

[@Rocketmanrun]

Geoff’s new style makes me physically ill. But I still love him

[@julieburnsTY]

MARIKA AS AMIR AS REILLY DOING PRATT AS MARIO DOING BOND

[@btk72491]

The best part of every Friday is the time before this podcast comes out, when I can hope that it won’t, or at least that Geoff won’t be on it. But then sure enough, my day turns from liverbad to liverwurst

[@C4rps]

he's only gone and done it again, writing advice is just the best segment

[@incognito8227]

I haven't even started this podcast and my day has already been darkened by Geoff. Happy birthday too I guess

[@TheStantonatorr]

Dropping the facade of these comments, the scripts are some of the funniest stuff that's been on this show. I couldn't stop laughing. Raising the facade, Geoff's ankles are some of the thinnest and most unsettling things I've ever seen.

[@billybobhamham8402]

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

[@btk72491]

…I really hope you are joking

[@radicalfamily]

@@btk72491 it's a copypasta

[@sparpie]

@@radicalfamilyI’d prefer rice CHARRED with saucesta

[@flipdiesel9652]

Zach calling Geoff’s ass “strong” and “big” was the highlight of the ep

[@AngelLeon21]

The GOAT guest returns!

[@boobshart]

I reaaaaaallly think Geoff’s next hair move should be a bob

[@ejoshcoron]

36:15 highlight

[@oldbooge]

I can't even tell if the roasting of Geoff for the last 20 minutes is a bit or not. I hope not he needs to hear it!

[@shahrukhconman_]

unironically the last bit of this episode made me really, really sad. like i had to sit around for a while and think about how .. Geoff my own life has become

[@whycantibeqwazy]

The New Girl part had me dying laughing. I’m not keedin I was legit close to death

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

I laughed out loud like a maniac when Geoff said that shit about rick and morty jokes

[@Qwerasd]

Happy birthday Geoff, belated of course.

[@juanpablohinojosa7862]

Hey guys. As always love the show. On a side note, pls more Marika, less Geoff. Ps: I’m reading Geoff’s outfit looks awful. But tbf I’m digging it. Are the people being sarcastic? 😅

[@swiftriverrun]

The sauce you said "lifestyle" with was more than good, it was zuncle for sure.

[@JoshMarshain]

A few weeks back Geoff off handedly said "call me Thurbad" and I should've known then what nonsense it'd lead to.

[@nutmaster652]

Amir’s fit is seriously #fire in this ep!!

[@sss-ol3dl]

joysin, thats joy and raisin

[@Omeomeom]

I loved the scripts I just wish these fucks put some more heart into their performances. I mean one of them was a Sopranos scene! Geoff you gotta put your spur into their sides next time. Bless

[@takatotakasui8307]

We need writing advice part 3

[@jodyvett23]

It's not eureka without Marika!

[@karmaheaven7]

57:50 This episode is going to be so sad to look back on when Geoff dies the night before his 43rd birthday :/

[@quinncurren491]

Hopefully the chipmunk cries again on this one

[@samkirkendall2920]

Woke up and saw this was uploaded. Day ruined.

[@bobsonny]

What the actual fresh hell is Geoff wearing?!

[@hellomarjory]

Geoffrey survived to see another year. These are really dark times for humanity.

[@mosquitopyjamas9048]

Geoff is the farmers daughter in his own twisted fantasy

[@anthony7960]

Was gonna say he looks trans lol

[@cluxton18]

I like how everyone bullied Amir into buying new shoes because he wasn’t ‘normcore’

[@GarfieldFan1]

Jeefrey Games lol

[@Pughhead]

Why does Zach Dunn sound like a 13 year old boy trying to make his voice sound deep

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Haven’t watched yet but my guess is it’s not as funny as part 1 and Geoff gets ultimately sour over it

[@richaw1652]

i'm ill with covid (two-timers club, not to brag) and the prawns bit has me rolling. it honestly hurts my swollen pharynx to laugh at this shit. unsubscribed

[@DrGeeves]

Is Amir wearing Nikes now to boycott Kanye?!~

[@PuffProphet]

Geoff looks… homeless.

[@jacksonmississippiisdefmyname]

What's with all this ire towards Geoff? Is it a bit? He's fine.

[@pritmann99]

News of the day is for sure the worst part of every episode

[@matiasreba]

Geoffrey can you please dress normal

[@BlowMeFastBitch]

10 minutes into netflix and chill and amir gives you this look 56:20

[@Decessus117]

That got me good

[@captainautobots]

25:55 ad ends 39:35 writing advice returns

[@richardbeater8915]

Jeff please cut your hair
