A podcast whose feelings you spare.
A podcast who, like it or not, will want you to share a little, a lot.
And what does all that mean?
Nolan, how do you know so much about it when you've never listened?
It's much better listening to it than looking at it, Nolan.

They are not like this intense burning,
ew, medicine, get away.
They're like soothing, lovely. Well, with herbs.
They have soothing herbs.

I feel like I could sing the entire score of Company every single part.
Oh, that's okay.
No worries.

Okay.
Oh, no.
You don't have to.
Oh, you're all good.
Yeah.
Ricola.
Ricola.
I mean, it's just like, what isn't there to say about it
i think i like halls better are you serious no no i like the ricola cherry dual action
dual action there was um there was one was it a halls i know this is a ricola episode but
there was there was one i think it was halls that was like a strawberries and cream
or am i thinking of something else no it was actually good though and i remember i really
don't think no but it was good i would like i would pop that shit like candy it was it was good
because i remember being in a musical and my voice was giving out and like i'd pop some of
those bad boys and it was they worked like a fucking charm yeah um but were they halls
it doesn't matter it doesn't matter this is a ricola episode and ricola what i told daniel
yesterday that we had landed on ricola as one of the topics and from across our home i hear
elizabeth go listen that the person who came up with that jingle should be a millionaire. I mean, it's unbelievable.
When was the last time you had a Ricola?
Glad you asked.
It's been a couple years, I think. I mean, save for COVID, I haven't been sick in a while.
No, I was sick in May, but I didn't have any Ricola.
Ricola.
I had a cold i i don't really do ricola ricola unless i have a cough and i knock on wood haven't had a cough in a long time yeah um but i had a little
bit my throat was a little bit sore again knock on wood um my throat was a little bit sore when i had that cold
um and the ricola really helped it was very soothing um also i saw a comment on one of the
latest uh head gum sketches we released there were two in which i was sick it was uh interruption
and children's books you could really hear it in children's books but someone you being sick
yeah someone
someone commented i forget which one someone commented on but it was because i talked about
it either at the zardi or on the pod about how i was sick those days not covid but i just had a
cold and someone's like you can really hear it but i can especially hear it in children's books
because interruption it's like it was the first one of the day i had so much adrenaline going into it and i was like all right let's just fucking and
also because i knew the second one you were doing most of the talking so i'm like i know that
interruption it's like we're the weird person so i need to like really turn it on and so i like i
powered through that but in children's books i wanted to die and so here i'm just like who's leather hansen like yeah so fucking sick but uh there
were so many there are also a lot of comments too that were like uh this is just them they're
genuine reactions to what i'm saying because all of my lines are grotesque fucking disgusting
dream small but i was really excited to to release this one because of this
uh which youtube.com slash head gun we're releasing sketches again if you didn't know
i feel like if you're listening to this show you definitely know but uh just loved uh
shooting that scene where you did the swirly thing and like like when i because we like hey
our dp helped choreograph that. He was great.
In writing these, that batch, I was like,
I can't wait for us to shoot this and to see it.
I want to see you give me a swirly. Because it's just, you are compared, like our size,
our height difference is so drastic.
It's so big.
Are you five five?
Five four and a half.
You're five four and a half.
And so to so funny dragging you
um but that's what we're talking about we're talking about ricola and um i would die for
ricola just kidding i mean it's really good um but do you want to start us off yes so this is a three-star review of original natural formula uh three stars uh title is low
in menthol what's who is it from phyllis m phyllis menthol phyllis menthol title low in menthol low
in me oh and well um does not stop a post-nasal drip causing cough.
Low on menthol and high on unpleasant herbs.
I think we've all been high on unpleasant herbs.
Possibly those herbs will produce an effect
in an undetermined time, but not probably.
What?
I prefer the now and powerful.
Therefore, this candy should be placed in the candy department
and not among the cough drops.
I just like the sentence,
I prefer the now and powerful.
Okay.
Phyllis,
thank you for coming by
with your suggestions
from the suggestion box.
You know,
at this company,
we really, really value
everyone's opinion. box. You know, at this company, we really, really value everyone's opinion.
And, you know, here at Google, we do what we can to make it feel like a home.
You know, we have this best candy station, lunch station.
We have everything.
And so we will definitely take moving the cough drops to the candy station into consideration.
Well, not just any cough drops,
but if it's gonna not have any menthol,
that's candy.
That belongs in the candy department.
I don't know about that.
Everyone's grumbling like,
no, Ricola isn't candy.
Yeah, I think candy,
the way we've set it up here
is like it's more like, you know,
Reese's or Butterfinger or Swedish Fish.
Like something that's actually candy. At least Butterfinger would coat my throat with a layer of dry dairy.
Ricola, all it is is unpleasant herbs and spices.
Right.
Listen, you have been at this company longer than any of us here.
I'm a really good engineer.
You cannot fire me.
And that's what's unfortunate is that you are one of the best engineers we have ever seen.
So, listen, we have a lot of other things to get through today.
Is there anything else?
I don't think we're going to move the cough drops to where people get candy.
But is there anything else that you wanted to bring up?
Because we do need to move on.
There are other people's suggestions.
That's fine.
I'm not happy about it, but it's fine.
Okay.
Moving on takes out a list.
I think every computer monitor should be not on desks,
but in a communal co-working environment where collaboration is encouraged.
Because, let's be honest, working together is the candy of working together.
You don't think computers should be on desks?
What?
You don't think, sorry, so are you saying-
I think everyone should work at like a conference table.
Right, I think that would maybe
lower productivity levels a little bit.
It might be a little bit distracting.
I think it increases collaboration,
which is the candy of working.
Sorry, collaboration is amazing.
It is vital to the work that we do here.
It is candy.
You keep coming
back to candy um i've never heard you do this which is weird did you did something happen in
the last week or so because nothing happened i just yeah sorry no it's okay again we cannot
fire you because you are a prodigy of an engineer.
And what was that?
Sorry, my phone rang. I put it on silent.
It's okay.
Sorry, it's ringing again.
Hello?
My God, you're taking a call.
They didn't move the recall out of the candy department, and they didn't take my co-working suggestion,
and they're probably not going to like the taffy idea either.
Who are you on the phone with?
I'll call you back.
That was my partner.
Could you not take a personal call in the middle of a meeting?
We have so many people to get to.
Google taffy for a year.
We are not a candy company.
Exactly.
And you know what else?
People take Google for granted.
They take the search engine, they take the name for granted.
I work my ass off to make sure that I'm feeling lucky works.
Right?
So what if we called it Taffy, got people's attention,
and then you know what people start saying?
Taffy's a horrible name for a search engine.
Google was better.
I really appreciate Google now.
Wait, so, sorry.
So your plan.
No, I'm just trying.
We're all just trying.
How do you not get this?
I just need to walk through it step by step to make sure I understand.
Because I'm not sure if I don't understand or if I do and it's just insane.
You think that people are taking the
name google for granted i think they're taking the name and the search for granted we are having
more hits than ever but you think so sorry so you think by changing the name temporarily from google
to taffy taffy.com but then taffy.com yes you have to keep the g in
there somewhere so the plan is for people to then dislike the name change yes it won't be a positive
change correct for them to then be like it'll get people wanting google back and in 364 days time
we're gonna go back to google and they're gonna come back to us eating off the plate like suckers.
Speaking of, let's move the suckers to the candy department.
Why the hell are they by the break room?
People already talk about Google every single day.
I could not tell you a day that goes by where I or anyone I know doesn't use Google as a verb.
That is a verb now.
Just picture this close everybody
close your eyes do you think google isn't everybody close your eyes no i'm people use it
i'm saying it's so popular that people have taken it for granted everybody close your eyes that's
amazing that's amazing that is such a popular thing that you'll take it close your eyes close
your eyes it's not new what we're doing close Close your eyes, close your eyes, close your eyes. Fine. Okay.
Now picture this.
My God.
I wish we could fire you, but you're indisposable.
People are having a Sunday fun day.
They're at Drunch.
Somebody can't remember the name of a song.
Okay. They say, oh, you know what?
I'm going to Google.
Sorry.
I'm going to taffy it.
Imagine how pissed you would be.
Right. Right. Right.
Right.
Right.
I would be pissed if someone said,
ugh, I'm going to taffy the name of the song.
Everyone agrees it doesn't make sense.
Everyone uses Google so offhand at this point.
That is amazing.
The brand recognition that Google has is astronomical.
So I don't understand why that's a bad thing why you're trying to change it for a year you said temporarily and then he's
a 364 days from now we're gonna change it back i just think that sometimes you gotta sweep the rug
right you gotta fucking catch people off guard so that they get talking about things again. All right? We live in a digital.
You're acting as if Google has gone off the map somehow.
No, I'm saying it's so in the background, and I want to bring it to the foreground. It's really not.
When Facebook changed their name to Meta, everybody talked about it for a decade.
Because it was dumb.
Really?
Because it was a really stupid name.
Okay. Well, I'm a little worried then about Taffy because it's you don't need to be worried you don't need to be worried about taffy because we
are not going to move forward with that idea i can promise you let's just hang on for a second
fine try it on in this room all right uh does anybody have an image that I can reverse taffy image search? Right.
So it's dumb.
It's really, really bad idea.
We don't have to do taffy then.
All right.
But can we fucking move the recall out of the candy day?
If we move the recall out.
I'll never bring taffy.gov up.
Taffy.gov.
Gob. I thought it was gom it was gom and then i realized gom
it doesn't it doesn't have the same ring as gov but taffy.gov is not how people are gonna
pronounce it they will think it is a government website well it's not it's taffy.gov oh god gob
yes like gobstopper i thought it was go I'm like, that is definitely something that we cannot do.
And we won't.
Okay, then EDU.
No.
From EDU.
Fuck it.
If us moving the Ricola...
Sorry, I don't know what...
Was it because I swore?
No.
Let's just fucking compromise.
Let's meet in the middle here just a little bit directly at 50%.
We will park
the domain name taffy.gov no it will redirect to google.com who says no everybody that doesn't
affect anything taffy.gov you could probably get for ten dollars a year and as soon as we buy it
it's worth millions fine you know what if you want to put
10 of your personal dollars
into buying the domain taffy.gob
to have it just
redirect to google.com
then you know what
Alphabet has to own it or else it doesn't have
value cause I'm just some guy
Alphabet's a
multinational tech corporation
and everything
they say goes and is
valued, right?
So it has to be officially Google's
parked domain.
I don't know.
How can we get out of this meeting?
Listen, you're
the one who wanted to do these town
halls where any employee can bring up
anything. So here we are.
I'm pitching taffy.gov.
I don't understand why this hasn't gone through already.
We could have gotten it, parked it, and redirected already
in the time that we've been talking.
Fine.
And the Ricola could be in the candy.
We're not going to move the Ricola.
Fine.
We'll get...
It's an either or for me.
Because I don't want to give you too much.
And have you get too much.
You're putting me in a really tough spot here if I have a choice.
Okay, fine.
Then you take a second.
You go sit down.
Think about which is more important to you.
Because neither matters to me.
Neither matters to the work that we're doing.
So either you figure out what one you're...
What hill you're going to die die on or you need to just
sit down because we have other people to get to let's take it up 45 minutes of the 50 minute town
hall all right great i'm gonna go taffy.gov let's do taffy.gov and then I'll probably just move the Ricola. At least on my floor.
I don't care what you guys do on floor seven,
but on floor six, we eat Ricola with the candy.
Taffy.gov.
Fine.
I made shirts.
Cut to like a month from then.
They're walking down the street.
Passing by a coffee shop.
Oh, shit.
Oh my God, I forget you can you taffy that
one restaurant we're going to dinner tonight i need to look at the menu really quick smirks
i'm gonna be rich as shit
uh all right let's take a break. Taffy.gob.
Gob.
That's good.
That's merchable.
Taffy.gob.
That is merchable for this show.
Yeah.
And we'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.
And we're back. We need to make taffy.gov shirts yes like in the google font uh all right okay review i mean listen i had a field day with these i have so much i'm trying
to pick from them because i'm shocked that the reviews for Ricola are so fucking good.
Yeah.
They're really, really gorgeous.
This is again from Ricola, just original Ricola.
Five stars from PMR.
You get to choose all the initials for PMR.
Post Menstrual Randy.
Okay. Post Menstrual Randy. Okay, Postmenstrual Randy.
That's, yeah.
Five stars.
The title is The Best Cough Drop.
Most cough drops have artificial flavors, which make me very sick.
My body just can't tolerate artificial sweeteners.
I love the all-natural ingredients, including using real sugar for sweetening.
Another thing, they are hard.
I like that I can't chew them.
Other drops are soft, and before I know it, I've chewed them up.
These melt in your mouth, so you get all the good ingredients.
I like that I can't chew them up
because you put a soft piece of lozenge in my mouth.
Chomp, chomp, chomp.
That bad boy's turned to dust in 0.5 seconds.
All right.
We have a welcome to the focus group for Ricola.
What are your guys' thoughts on the new cough drops
alright so
Seamus I got to say I love the new
design the bag is looking
gorgeous
I guess my only thing would that be
I wish they were a little bit bigger
very good
very good what about you
Rieman
my favorite thing about Ricola well first of all Very good, very good. What about you, Rieman?
My favorite thing about Ricola?
Well, first of all, I want to say thank you for welcoming me into your beautiful country of Scotland.
My favorite thing about the Ricola cough drops, which also happens to be my favorite thing about the country of Scotland, is that it's hard.
All right. What? Do you want me to elaborate on that a little bit more? the country of Scotland is that it's hard. Right.
What?
Do you want me to elaborate
on that a little bit more?
A little...
A little bit.
So what...
Okay.
I'm a little bit worried.
About what?
About why you want them hard.
No, they are hard and I like that for them and for me.
The thing about Scotland, why Scotland's hard,
is that you guys don't let anyone bully you, push you around.
That's why I came here.
That's why I moved here.
What are you bullied?
Was I bullied? Of course I was was bullied i was bullied my entire because of your big forehead and your thick eyes
because of my what you have very thick eyes i was bullied just for the way that i i don't play nice
with others but i mean yeah that what i'm saying I mean, yeah, that. What I'm saying is-
Sounds like you were the bully.
No.
What I'm saying is I like Ricola
because they're as hard as I am.
And I don't mean it that way.
What I'm saying about Ricola-
Stand up.
No, I don't feel comfortable doing that.
All right, you're a wreck.
That's fine.
That's actually not really fine,
but films make do.
Here's the thing about Ricola.
I'm a chomper.
I chomp, chomp, chomp.
I use these biters to go down hard.
And these Ricola drops,
they don't let me do that.
Okay, so now it sounds like you use teeth
when you're going down on someone.
That's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is that Scotland is hard,
just like me, just like Ricola.
And that's why I love this new design, because that soft shit, that was me back when I lived in Wisconsin, okay?
That was me before I moved to Scotland.
And that's me before Ricola.
So, yeah, I'm really honored to be here.
I'm feeling great about it.
Thank you for the drops.
All right, let's move on.
Gavin?
I don't know if I want to continue on with the mating
because I believe that that man is quite erect
and it makes...
Right.
Aye.
Aye. erect and it makes so I might email you my thoughts from home and I might head out if that's all right that's all right it's all right thank you for coming yeah no worries
uh sure thing um just Venmo me the
$75
a little bit later I guess when you
have a minute once we get your email
we will
I don't know what
his problem is
all I've said
again I don't feel like that would be productive
at this time so that means
you're a wrecked
fine you want me to stand up I'll stand up don't feel like that would be productive at this time. So that means you're direct.
Fine. You want me to stand up? I'll stand up.
Oh, you're not direct. I don't see anything.
Fuck! Fuck!
A Scottish
focus group where someone's
hard. But not even.
Maybe not our best, but I i mean it was fun for me
in the moment to try and do that that was the best scene we've ever done let's uh let's keep
it going that's gonna go down in the top 10 for the year there's no way it's number one how i really don't think so okay here we go this is uh again for
five stars best cough drop i ever had from o to b literally sorry the letter o number two letter b O2B Emily. O2B Emily.
Why did I wait years to try these drops?
Honestly, I thought they would taste like medicine. I've always purchased fruit-flavored drops before believing all drops were created equal.
Wrong! I will never go back!
These don't taste like medicine, and they work faster than anything else.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what they taste like. They they work faster than anything else unfortunately i cannot tell
you what they taste like they are unlike anything i can describe try them for yourself don't wait
like i did jeremy it has been so long oh my god thank you so much for meeting up for a drink i

basis but she's awesome um and uh i did i ended up doing ben and jen's uh reception in vegas
no way yeah sorry Let me finish.
Uh,
and,
um,
there's this thing in like in the industry a little bit where you're like,
when someone important,
more important than you was talking,
you kind of have to get to the floor.
So just kind of keep that in mind.
Um,
I'm sorry.
I don't know anything about the industry.
You know,
it's like being a kindergarten teacher.
I guess I'm not in the biz.
Like you do me a huge favor.
Yeah.
Can you let me have the floor for a second
yes and um i ended up working with david chang for a year or sorry we're signed on to do it a
year because i started very recently ago but uh he's really into indigo like japanese dyed indigo
so i've been trying to find him some uh kimonos some work pants and it's kind
of interesting uh but and also i'm only saying this because you asked about the job so i'm gonna
keep going what was that i did i did ask i mean this is the stuff i i all right you clearly want
to talk so tell me about potato salad or whatever you do at the cafe you work at i'm a kindergarten teacher potato salad i thought you worked at a cafe i just like i
you know they say like don't forget where you came from i already have wow um okay i mean
yeah my job isn't as flashy as yours i, you're getting a lot of really cool opportunities popping up. I'm so thrilled for you.
I mean, like, my God.
My friend's a celebrity.
You know, my friend knows a lot of celebrities.
Celebrity stylist.
No, I mean, kindergarten's great.
The kids have been amazing.
And I don't know.
I feel like I've really found...
What? Oh, sorry. Nothing. and i i don't know i feel like i've really found what oh sorry nothing i was just thinking about
something nathan fielder said to me nathan fielder oh my god i've just started watching
the rehearsal it's so great he's so funny yeah no just tell me about your kindergarten
fuckers like you know shit their pants or something oh um because you're kind of you're more of a babysitter than a teacher excuse me
you're i nothing no one more what did you say i want to hear you say it again babysitter than
a teacher because i'm a celebrity stylist dude what the hell's wrong with you i'm insecure as
hell right you're right yeah that's not an excuse you've been nothing i've been trying
to get invested in your life i love you and we were so close but i don't i don't feel comfortable
with you talking to me like this and treating me this way if this is how you're gonna be the rest
of the time then i'm gonna head out because i'll be different i'll be honest you'll be honest you can be honest were you not being honest before i'm not working with clara
is that the only thing you weren't honest about i didn't work with jeremy allen white i worked
with jeremy allen who ended up just sort of being an independent contractor at vice which is still kind of cool but he's not a celebrity i shan't
be working with daniel day kim i shan't be working with anyone like him um i've just been pretty much
buying clothes for people like have you been styling people i wish so then what did you do with jeremy allen
you said you worked with him i just like he had a couple outfit ideas from his closet and i helped
him pick one out he didn't even go with the one i suggested and so to hear you being like a
kindergarten teacher fulfilling like helping our youth well you actually i didn't i only said one of those things because you didn't even let me finish before you started rolling your
eyes i'm just so worried that when i talk people don't think i'm important don't that's not what
you should be worried about when you speak what should i be worried about what you should be
worrying about being an asshole you're an asshole when you talk and you haven't always been that way
actually was really it really caught me off guard you are normally just like so warm and so
you're you freely give your attention and your time to others and and you care and so
that like you not being important was never an issue. And it still isn't. It's you being a dick.
Which is better?
Which is better?
Being important or being a dick? Which is better?
Or the question, which is better?
The question.
Okay.
When I leave my job,
like because I'm a kindergarten teacher, right?
Right.
I leave my work at the door.
So I don't want to come to the bar and be a teacher to you. my job like because i'm a kindergarten teacher right right i leave my work at the door so i
don't want to come to the bar and be a teacher to you and telling you which is better to be nice or
be mean which is essentially what you're asking me and that feels like a question that one of my
kindergartners would ask if that that would be great actually could i sit in on a class
you cannot um sit in on a kindergarten class no cut. Cut to the next day, her at work.
He walks in anyways.
Hey, Mrs. Jins.
Hello.
Hey, everybody.
Hey, kids.
This is my friend Jeremy.
And you know what?
Can you guys all take out a book and do some silent reading time?
I'm gonna talk to my friend in the hallway
for one second, okay, everyone?
In the hall.
What are you doing here?
I told you that you weren't allowed
to come and sit in on a class.
You didn't say that.
You said I couldn't come to sit.
You said I couldn't sit in class.
I thought that was just a rule.
I'll stand as long as I'm here.
So I think you need to learn a lot about context
sit in class you can't sit in on a class you didn't say that well you didn't let me finish
so listen obviously i can't let you in the room excuse me um i there's something there's a book
on the shelf that i can't really reach and do you think you could come help me?
What book is it?
Oh, no, you don't, I can help you.
No, he's pretty tall, a lot taller than you.
What are you, five, five, five?
Five, four and a half.
Right, so he, I think, could reach it better.
What's the book?
The book is Peter Rabbit.
Oh, that's a classic uh although you're you're six
right you should be able to read that by now um it wasn't no he was saying could you get the book
for him it's a little kayla is there like an like a dumb track a what like do they start them on
different tracks in kindergarten where there's like the you
know the achievers the overachievers the average people and then the kind of dumbos uh you should
probably put down to that leon go back in class okay um listen you need to go you need to go and
i actually i'm gonna put up a really hard boundary with you that i think we cannot be we cannot be in
contact for a couple months you need to figure some stuff out.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
No skin off my back, because that's where I'm going after this.
Where?
I'm going to style James Baldwin.
Baldwin?
Baldwin.
Who's that?
He's like an independent contractor at BuzzFeed,
which is still kind of cool, but he's not a celebrity.
Stop qualifying people based on how cool they are, okay?
You're going to style someone.
It doesn't matter if they're a giant celebrity or not.
You're doing what you want to do.
What, so you're just saying I should be a stylist?
Yes.
You don't have to be a celebrity stylist to be a stylist.
I really never thought of that.
Go get a job at Nordstrom.
You can be a personal shopper.
Don't interrupt me.
Don't point at me.
You're a great teacher.
I know.
I know I'm a really good teacher.
Yes.
You should be a college counselor.
Not like a babysitter. Oh my God, get out of here. You're a nanny. Yeah, I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm out. I'm a really good teacher. Yes. You should be a college counselor. Not like a babysitter.
Oh my God.
Get out of here.
Yeah, I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm out.
Crashes his car.
All the kids watching in the window.
Ooh.
All right.
Should we do our last segment?
Yeah.
This took me all week. Amari Amari
I'm talking Averna
Nonino
Montenegro
Remozotti
What?
Vecchio del capo uh those are my favorites so far also uh maletti maletti's pretty good i'm talking about italian aperitifs also known as amari uh this is
my new drink of choice whiskey is boring and sour to me when i go to a bar i want an aperitif when i'm at dinner
i'm gonna have one either before or after the meal i'm gonna have it with an espresso uh and
this is sort of my bag now you're italian now i still have honestly a general distaste towards
italian people in their culture uh but amari might be the key to the door
what do you feel about what do you how do you feel about aperol aperol spritz even uh aperol
is good i like an aperol spritz if it's the summer and i'm outside but in general i like the more
herbaceous bitter thangs you like campari uh campari is good i i boulevardier has been my
cocktail of choice for a while now which is just bourbon campari and sweet vermouth but uh this is
more drinking amari straight i'm italian you're not i am no you're not i literally am you should tan easier if you're italian you'd think so right
well i'm mostly i thought you were 100 irish i am 89 irish okay so you're not italian i have my dad
my dad's mom is italian okay so you're 11 italian and i'm ital Italian. I'm Irish. Irish, capital I, Irish.
Right.
A bit Italian and a bit German.
Okay.
But I'm Irish.
But my dad is very olive skinned.
He tans like that.
That's true.
And so is my sister.
He's sort of zaddy in a way.
My sister is also very olive skinned.
He's grandpa.
I got none of that.
I got alabaster.
Yeah, you got porcelain. I got alabaster. Yeah, you got porcelain.
I got porcelain.
You got printer paper.
Yeah, she's holding literal printer paper to her skin,
and I would say it's only two shades off.
So there's that.
What's been shaking me, I should have said this on the last one um we were nominated
for a people's choice podcast we were which is crazy people can vote at podcastawards.com
i believe yes um so vote for our ass we could take home some fucking gold so um i don't know
how we even got nominated for that.
I don't know what that process is.
I think HeadGum put us up for it.
Which is crazy.
And a lot of HeadGum shows are nominated.
So, I mean, I don't know when the voting closes.
I don't know.
We should have done this on the last one.
But if it's still open, you can vote for so many head gum shows that are nominated
um what is crazy to me is that we're on the same list for best comedy as fucking dough boys
like yeah so we're not gonna get it actually don't even waste your time no we're not gonna
get it but that's what i'm saying is that it's crazy is that there's 16 there's 16 comedies
nominated out of so many podcasts it's crazy and we're up there with doughboys and we have like five listeners and so that's really really exciting um i told my parents and my parents
thought it was a literal like people's choice award and i'm like no it really is not i can't
stress to you that it is not that uh but still very exciting still very exciting first award
nomination which is so cool um and
it seems legit otherwise i don't think head game would have exactly right so yeah so very like
truly it is like it was like legit honor to be nominated situation because that's that's really
really cool um so it's fucking awesome yeah that's that shook me it shook me it just grabbed me And shook me And it fucking shook me
It fucking throttled me
Kidding me
