Has anyone ever tried explaining this show to a friend? "Yeah so it's a show about nothing. Every single joke is an inside joke. Everyone hates the host. It's honestly not good but it's my favorite podcast to ever exist"

[@CollinRapp33]

The only person to whom I’ve even dared to mention this show is a close friend who’s also a Jake and Amir (and Headgum sketches) fan, so I knew he’d get it. But if I ever feel bold enough o mention it to someone else, I’m definitely copying and pasting your description. XD

[@nicholaskirwen5027]

I just recommended it to a friend today. I was thinking of sharing #9 Subjective Trivia. Does anyone have any other good first episode suggestions?

[@Instanence]

@@nicholaskirwen5027 it's pretty late in but i love the episode with Avital Ash. i'd say she steals the show but nobody in their right mind would want possession of this this this trainwreck of a trainwreck we call a podcast

[@hellomarjory]

the host? a sour man. the company? a trainwreck. the topics? horrible at best, mild at worst. the guests? an endless who's-not of comedy. 10/10

Zach is one of the best guests. I didn’t recognize his humour in his first two episodes and I don’t think the other guests did either. He was genius in the audit haha. This episode he was even better, Austin powers for bond of the week killed me haha

This show is the nicotine industry of podcasts. It's addictive and bad for me and I don't even like it but I keep coming back.

so it’s the cigarettes of podcasts. you were just describing characteristics of cigarettes. the nicotine industry isn’t addictive, their products are.

in terms of bond of the week picks, i feel like johnny’s pick of BTS is yet to be topped; both in terms of sheer outlandish-ness but also a pick that weirdly works?

Easily one of the funniest episodes and definitely in my top 3, the writing segment was ridiculous.... need more

Can't tell if it makes it better or worse how clearly Amir is doing something else on his laptop the entire episode

Zach's vocal fry is so next level it's somehow hurting my throat just listening to him.

[@milkandcereal22]

I’m so glad someone else thinks this. He’s a funny dude but I had to turn this off bc the vocal fry somehow makes me feel short of breath.

Im still trying to wrap my head around the couch thing

You sit on them, couches are pretty simple

It’s the headgum holiday best of 2020 episode. Geoff takes a deep SWIG from a bottle of JACK. “Amir has sent in a long email outlining my faults. I’m going to read it out loud show the type of HATE I get around here” he keeps going on for hours, getting drunk and reading hate mail from the headgum staff. Or not.

I wonder if HG thinks that this guest embodies their fan base and is therefore relatable. Otherwise I don’t see what he adds, and to have him on multiple time? Do better. Diversify you guests and broaden your fan base.
