This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. Billy, you're in the doghouse now. This is actually a new thing. No, you just crossed me one too many times, so here you go. This is going to be two minutes on the clock. You can't speak for the next two minutes. Billy is one of the most polite polite positive fun loving universally poisoned i said

you ruined the live show billy just asked you what your source was as to how you heard facebook break rooms were getting fed and he got into the dog house yeah billy's like a textbook definition of a good guy so if you have beef with billy that's that's on it's on you brother actually and fuck it for it, for the next minute and a half, just while Billy's in the doghouse, I'm gonna go in on your sad little ass. I really, really am.

I wish you froze to death on the beach, man. that was easy what if you just never played the music and this is how it started i was i'm sort of like in this headspace today where What if you just never played the music and this is how it started? I'm sort of like in this headspace today where nothing matters, which is dangerous for this show because it's already a thesis of nihilism, right? Breaking form.

What's that? Yes. I couldn't hear a theme song. I don't know if you guys could hear it, if Jeff could hear it. Oh, no... I couldn't hear a theme song. I don't know if you guys could hear it, if Jeff could hear it. Oh. Oh, no, we couldn't hear it at all. Yeah, I couldn't hear it at all. Okay, yeah, so...

But I guess that's fine, because ultimately it doesn't matter, like you said, but... Right. I guess going forward... I thought it was a bit... Oh, I played the theme song, and then I said,

that was easy. That was easy? Oh, I heard the theme song and then I said, that was easy. That was easy? I heard that. We're back. Alright. It's weird because I said nothing matters, but it bothers me that it started that way. So you're both

thinking that nothing matters, but then also getting upset because everything does. Yeah. Please welcome to the show. This is her HeadGum Podcast debut. Allie, is it Khan or? Yeah.

It's Khan. It's Khan. Okay. So 0 for 2. I've only ever read it. I've only ever read it on Slack. Allie Khan. We should read it on Slack. Ali Khan. We should say it's spelled C-O-N, so you were way off.

I don't know why you even thought that. Ali, how long have you been working at Head to Come? It's been a month now, right? Yeah, just over a month. Damn. Very exciting. Yeah, just over a month. Damn.

Very exciting. Who, like, do you have any office, like, rivalries? Any kind of alliances that have formed? Who do you like? Who do you not like? Who do you think we should put on the chopping block? Uh, great question. I take entering every new job as though I am a newcomer on the tribe in Survivor. And so these first few weeks, I'm just getting a lay of the land. I am an observer. I'm feeling everyone's vibes and I'm

cool with everybody. But whose vibes are the most sour, even if they're all good? Because my vote i think would be shackle it's you man your vibes are the worst maybe you for trying to instigate drama no there's already drama that's my point is like i'm not starting anything there's just already these like neural networks of like tension well okay yeah i haven't i've yet to i have yet to experience anything that i would deem as sus i i think that's so so far so good i would say on the opposite end of the spectrum i knew that marika was cool when she wore a dev patel shirt the other day i mean i knew you were cool before that, but I was confirmed. Marika, would you ever wear a watch? We would be friends if we met in the outside world.

I've run into Dev Patel around the Grove three times. Have you really? He's so tall and handsome. Yeah, were you a gorgeous, gorgeous person? Yeah. Did you see him when he was wearing a big time rush shirt no i would have called you um also i feel like we should say that sam last week uh came into the office for

into the la office not last last week, two weeks ago. Time is meaningless. And had some great lunch suggestions. So she's doing great. She's not sus at all. Yeah, we got sandwiches from two different places. And they were both kind of hits. Really?

Also, it was the first time I met her in the two years that I've been working with her. Huge day. Sam Innocent. I guess Sam's pretty cool. Jeff was in New York at the time. I don't know the vibes in LA, but just positive.

There was a lightness in the air yeah right yeah everything was a little easier yeah we couldn't totally like figure out why it was something it's because Jeff casts a Paul and it makes us appalled in fact your name should be Paul going

forward every time I'm in the office everyone else is a Paul bearer. Yeah. Because they have to bear the weight of me. The dead weight of you. How was New York? Holy shit.

Let's hear it. That question cut through me. New York was great. I was staying near Fire Island with my family, which I think is very funny. That is really funny. But we went to the beach and it was fun. We went to the beach a couple times.

Long walks, 10,000 steps, celebrating my mother's birthday. And I mean, what an incredible woman, right? She raised me well. She raised me well. Good. And I am the man I am today because of her. I've never met either of your parents, I think.

Have you met Jeff's parents? Yeah, she, I think your mom and maybe also your dad went to one of our you met Jeff's parents? Yeah, she... I think your mom and maybe also your dad went to one of our HeadGum shows in LA once, right? Yeah. I was... Yeah. It was a very sweet moment.

I realized I was, I think, closer to her age than yours, Jeffrey. I think it's exactly equal because she's 55 and I'm 24. Yeah. Yeah. I was 15 years in between you and your mother. It's kind of cool. Is it? Let's keep it going with everyone's. Oh, shit.

Do they listen to this show? Bond of the Week. Do your parents listen to this show? No, they don't. They listen to the 100th episode. They used to listen to Review Review, but every week, an hour, that's too much to ask of either. Do they watch the sketches?

They love the sketches. Interesting. My mom called me when we brought them back and was happy crying. Wow. Like actually? No, she was just really excited. Does she like the Jeffrey the Dumbass thing happy crying. Wow. Like actually? No, she was just really excited.

Does she like the Jeffrey the Dumbass thing or does that kind of break her heart? When we first started them in 2016, she was like, does it have to be called Jeffrey the Dumbass? I was like, it doesn't have to be, but I think it's fun. Yeah.

Yeah. That must be a weird feeling feeling i'm trying to imagine what it's like to have a child raise them and then like their first job is like i'm this person that you raised the dumbass and i'm an idiot and do you feel like kind of like oh that's not they're not being nice to him or something like protective yeah also it was fine was Jeffrey the Dumbass the series that you had to like go to the Ohio film something

for we're getting way too personal Allie knows none of this yeah it was did they go to that no you went to a film festival like the a couple episodes of jeffrey the dumbass got screened at the cleveland international film festival and this like digital creators thing but this is like all to share it's on our instagram

you're like that's too personal that sounds like not really i mean i didn't submit it let me see if there's photos of you on the podium yeah i felt so awkward at that podium you can see it just found this on my phone let's talk about you guys ali where did you grow up you grew up around new york right i grew up i grew up uh like right outside of chicago north shore burbs okay where glenview so not like uh i i think the north shore elitists would say that doesn't count as north shore it's too inland but it's around there all right my grandmother was from wilmette so I used to go there a lot. The reference that I give that is that the Ferris Bueller School, where they cut school, that was my rival high school's exterior.

I felt a lot of anger growing up that I wasn't at the culture one. I was at the big old one. I keep having to stop Amir's video because he's just still holding his phone. Cubs? Or White Sox? White Sox. White Sox. Really?

Yeah. That's so interesting. Is it? I thought that it was like if you're north you're cubs if you're south you're white socks yeah i just feel like i can't like in good faith support a wrigleyville like the fan culture like i can't hang out with you it's not for me i'm not like the crowd i'm not gonna add anything like to whatever you guys are doing yeah there's like no fan culture by the white socks stadium it's just the green line it's just baseball yeah we're all serious um what's everybody's Bond of the week?

So basically every week until the next James Bond is cast, we're lobbing up our casting choice for the next James. Amir? What about the original James, your mother? Okay. Because that's her last name. She's not the original, because her maiden name is not James. I'm wondering what it is.

Well, I don't want to say my mother's maiden name, because I already have doxed myself enough on this show. Well, you don't have to say her exact maiden name, but just give us a vibe. Oh, it's like Straczynski. Oh, I see. Sort of like Polish adjacent. Yeah, Lithuanian. Yeah. Lithuanian.

Yeah. So, yeah. Not that her name is Linda, but if it is Linda, it could be like Linda James Bond. Is it Linda? It's pretty close. Marika?

I don't know. I was thinking about Ben Barnes earlier, so I'm going to go with him. Who's Ben Barnes? Is that the chef and the bear? No, that's Jeremy Allen White. Yeah, not even close. But Ben Barnes was

in Punisher Netflix series with the other chef not Io, Iban Moss, I don't know how to pronounce his last name, and John Bernthal were both in The Bear. Did you guys like The Bear?

Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Nice glasses. Didn't Ben Barnes also feature on Punisher? I think he did horns or something on that album. It doesn't

really matter. He does have an album. He does sing, which is really matter. He does have an album. He does sing, which is really funny. He was also Prince Caspian in the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe movies. Yeah.

He's in Shadow and Bone on Netflix. He's around. He stays booking. He for sure stays booking. He's booked and busy. He's happy and He stays booking. He for sure stays booking. He's booked and busy. He's happy and wealthy. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Always. Allie, who's your bond

of the week? Your first ever bond of the week? My first ever bond of the week? I think it's gonna be Jodie Comer. Holy shit. I'm gonna do a generous vlog. I want more Villanelle and i want it now and i want it for a three hour time block that's actually really good like she can do it oh for sure i feel like

they actually have a conversation in the room about this if it's brought up. I hope. Maybe this will get something going because I'm so far a campaign of one. That's how it starts. That's how it starts. One voice can change the world. Yeah. My pick is a HeadGum podcaster, Lil Rel. I think it's time for a funny Bond. Like where he just can't believe it's all happening instead of every

other bond where they're like we got to figure this out he's like what the hell was that that's good how often how often would he be and like on the phone i feel like that's a common there was a common thing for real for a while he's always on the phone guy get out yeah yeah and uh i think there's another movie i think is he in good boys there there's one more movie where he's like talking to people on the phone a lot i think uh i think he's on the phone with m almost in every scene yeah constant updates but he's never maybe maybe we find a way where he's like never actually there maybe he just has to be m in order to keep up the bit that could be good yeah little rel is m and then who would be a good foil as james

no way there's no way you're not even 40 and you're falling apart at the seams. I've noticed you walking slow. But he's playing tennis now. I am playing tennis. I don't know if that could be written into the story, but imagine like... James Bond plays tennis. You're served, Mr. Bond.

So it's like... Is there something happening at Wimbledon? Oh, that's really good actually. Like, oh my God, because the queen or whoever the fuck is there watching

the match, right? Yeah. And it could even be like a British tennis, like what's an example, Jeffrey, of a British tennis player that could be

in the Wimbledon finals? I don't know. I don't follow tennis. Yeah. British tennis player. Is Roger Federer British? No, he's Swiss. Andy Murray. Andy Murray. Yeah. That's really good. yeah british is roger federer british no he's swiss uh andy murray andy murray yeah um good yeah i like this this is good amir are you gonna get a physical soon though because i

feel like every time i watch you go downstairs you go like one step and pause one step and pause like that's some marika nonsense it's funny that you mention that because I am getting a physical for the first time in years since I think since the pandemic tomorrow. So I guess I'll have an update. Oh, did we talk about that on one episode where I like. Oh, yeah. I did a blood test and I had a high Billy Rubin. Billy Rubin. Yeah.

Yeah. Amir has a. Wait, what is it called? Gilbert syndrome. Yeah. Well, that's a that's a possibility. But I think I'll discuss with the doctor tomorrow and I'll hit you guys up with the update. In fact, we can live stream the bitch

so you can hear it directly from the horse's mouth. Because then people are going to hear a bunch of sensitive medical information that you cannot disclose. But I'm sort of an open book, yeah. Ali, do you have any syndromes oh yeah anything oh you know what what roger ails you nice i get uh idiopathic allergic reactions which is i'm not allergic to anything technically i've been to an allergist many times and they haven't deduced, but about maybe once a

year, every two years, my body will have a really severe allergic reaction, like just spontaneously because of nothing. And then I have to go and get an emergency IV of antihistamines until I calm down. Wow. Wow. When was the last time that happened? Yeah, the last time that happened, I studied abroad in college and it happened. I was in Croatia and I had to go to a Croatian hospital and no one spoke English, but they were very, very nice and helpful. And I was able to like my my way through the process. Also, my face looked like very everything looked very puffy and deformed at that point so they kind of got the picture they got what like i think i can guess what's going on but they couldn't act like because they didn't know what you usually look like so it would have

been insensitive of them to be like oh my god you look so puffy and deformed and you're like oh yeah i came in here because i stubbed my elbow. I woke up that morning and felt it. I was like, I think you just feel different. You look different. And my lips were very, very puffy. And I looked at this girl that I was on a trip with. And I was like, do I look different to you? I feel different.

And she goes, no, that's what you always look like. Wow. How dare she? She poisoned you. It's like my perception of self is skewed. It's obvious she poisoned you. My perception of self is skewed. It's obvious she poisoned you. Yeah. And you know how much it cost to do all that?

$1,100? $30. Oh, that's it. Yeah. Wow. That's crazy. Salvation Healthcare. Let's talk about dating in LA.

So far, this is the exact same episode as always the bond of the week the waxing the dating in LA I'm getting them all out I'm getting them all out at first

and then we go into the more specifics you want to go with something more specific no let's hear about dating in LA for the 19th time me no he's just upset in LA for the 19th time.

Me? No, he's just upset. I don't let anyone else talk to me that way. For some reason you get some free pass. I guess it's because you Zell me. It must be the money. Allie, it must be the money um Ali

we knew each other before you started working at HeadGum yes we do we go back a couple years yeah when I signed with my managers you had just become their assistant I think yeah so I thought we could get into some specifics.

What do they like about me? Oh, you're still with them? Yeah. Yes. Why? Ask them. Like, there's nothing to manage. There's no there there.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you dead weight in the industry? I wonder. No, Jeffrey's not dead weight. Really? I can see it from being on the other side and hearing all the secret conversations. Jeffrey was always in a good standing with Brian Walsh. Wow. Does that make you feel good

i did genuinely think they were gonna soft drop me this year but i just sent them an outline for a new pilot but yeah like personality wise what do they like about me personality wise you know what you are good you're good at prelim chit chat on the phone you know how to start off a combo and then you get right down to business and then yeah that's pretty much all i remember and then what do they hate about me you know personality. That's the answer. Yeah.

I know you're... Well, I can speak for myself. I thought that you were a lovely gift giver. You were so thoughtful. The most thoughtful of any of the clients for me as the assistant. So Jeffrey always looked out for the little guy, which I was the little guy. Well, yeah.

They don't need cash. I gave them a briefcase. No, you gave really, really thoughtful, thoughtful presents. I felt like you took time and you thought about everyone's personalities and then came up with something that was specific for them that meant something. And I thought, that's really nice. People don't do that that much anymore. Well, thanks. And then the last question.

Am I going to be a star? Yes. Yeah. All right. We do have to take a break. I'm soaring off that i mean there's only a few tastemakers that had gum alley joined the ranks let me tell you who's not a taste tastemaker uh angie so i oh my micah doesn't get it you know what i does. Really? Yeah, and she and Micah are great at their jobs.

All right, well, we'll be right back. Guys, taking care of your health isn't always easy, right? But it should be simple. That's why for the last three years I've been taking AG1, just one scoop and a cup of water mixed around every day, no exceptions. And it helps me feel, you know, energized, focused, ready to take on the day. Like I'm doing one powerfully healthy habit that's also powerfully simple. I know that AG1 gives my body high quality nutrition because every batch goes through a rigorous testing process so that you know it's safe.

through a rigorous testing process so that you know it's safe. And their ingredients are sourced for potency, absorption, and nutrient density, all of which is very important and you don't always get with other leading nutrition brands. I like to drink it first thing in the morning. I'll have a glass of water, I'll have my AG1, and then I'll have my coffee. And it gets me set off to take on the day and to be centered and to feel like I did at least one good thing for my health. And if you do that every day, it has compounding effects. If there's one product I had to recommend to elevate your health, it's AG1. That's why we partnered with them for so long.

So if you want to take ownership of your health, start with AG1. Try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D3K2 and five free AG1 travel packs with your first purchase exclusively at drinkag1.com slash what's that? Again, that's drinkag1.com slash what's that? Check it out. I missed this song. That's really good, Amir.

We got a cat in the frame. This is Chicken. She wanted to sit with me. She's a little chicken. Is she hairless or is she just in a nice hair? She's half hairless, so that's why I named her Chicken, because she kind of looked like an uncooked chicken breast. Oh yeah, she does. As a baby. That that's amazing how long have you had her i i fostered a cat and you did yes i saw on instagram i love cats me too

so why did you give them away uh she bit me a lot oh they were like love you don't want to give it away. I did at the end. No, chickens from... Sorry. Oh, no, it's okay. I was going to say chickens from college. She was originally one of my other college roommates, but she asked me to watch her cat one day

and then never came back, never saw again are you kidding no i'm not kidding so i like to say i got like yeah so i got went out for a pack of cigarettes that's psychotic yeah i need i need to know more about this yeah remember that um it was yeah it was my junior year of college and you know how you have a fun a fun friend yeah and who's like where you're like oh they're gonna help make college like a fun experience for me like i'm gonna they're gonna push my like i'm gonna push myself to be more fun than maybe i would be on my own i'm gonna push myself socially yeah i'm gonna push myself socially and so yeah so'm going to push myself socially. And so, yeah. So, but then over the course of the year, it stopped being fun and started getting a little too real. Just like the real world. Yeah. Just like the real world. Everyone stopped being

polite. And then I was like, I don't know, this seems a little much. And then, uh, so I was, because I was pushing myself socially, I spent a lot of time at home being myself. And then that's when I really bonded with Chicken, the cat. And she started hanging out with me all the time. And then one day the roommate came and said, I got to go home for the weekend. I know it's been really crazy. We got a lot of stuff to discuss. Can you take care of the cat until I come back?

I said, sure. And then she never came back. Didn't return your calls, texts, nothing? No. I found out because she posted an Instagram saying, I decided that I don't want to go to school anymore. I'm going to go pursue my Michigan in Detroit. My Michigan?

Sorry, my Michigan in Detroit. My music in Detroit. God. That was unclear. She's seeking pure Michigan. Yeah, seek pure Michigan. It was like I got to go work on my sound. And I said, all right.

So you still get the softness. It's not like a rat. No, not like a rat. Well, rats have fur. Yeah. I thought you were going to say, well, rats have redeeming qualities.

Sand. Sand. Correct! Amir, Venmo fine? Let's do the Zell again. That's more difficult. Or a wire transfer. Amir Venmo fine? Let's do the Zell again. That's more difficult. Or a wire transfer.

If you want a wire transfer, I'm doing it later. Yeah, let's do an ACH wire transfer. I was oddly good at that game. Well, you quickly realize that we do know what steel looks like. You know what I mean? And like, there is. You tested our metal. I tested positive. Nice.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Um, that was steel or not. Uh, I, I thought Marika was going to throw a fit for that one. Why? Because that's like the first really, yeah, hissy or otherwise. That's like the first really dumb one I've done in a while, I would say. I don't know.

There's no way. I don't think so. I don't know. It had a logo. That was the first dumb one I've had in a while. I thought the Bryce Aldright was good. They're all equally fine.

Yeah. I'd rather it be bad than fine. But that being said. Welcome to Couch Critiques. Another one? I feel like that was the end of the show, right? A little bit? Let's hear them out. Let's hear them out.

Yeah, I should have allotted only time for this one. This is Couch Critiques. I was going, basically, we're going to watch some late night interviews and grade them on their performance. But I was going to do three of them. Yeah, it seems like a long story. Four of them, actually, and I think we only have time for one.

So I'm actually going to go with this, which is not a talk show. It's Morning Joe on MSNBC, but it's Russell Brand in 2013 promoting his Messiah Complex stand-up tour anymore any other questions you've become nervous why are you nervous you're a powerful woman you've got a lovely job what seems to be the trouble i don't know you've got a hair like princess diana oh wow okay i'm petrified of her and And you have her on your heels.

She's just moved down the other end of the table. I absolutely love this. Keep going. What seems to be the trouble, love? No, I'm good. We're now going to do a bit of therapy. Would you do therapy with Willy Brandt? With who?

Willy Brandt. Would you do therapy with him? No. I don't think. Because that's where he's heading. Okay. I'm all right. You shouldn't say he when a person is present.

You should refer to the person by their name that's basically good manners that is where willie is heading who is willing things are falling apart on motor warning joe i think that i think this other guy the fact that he was like i'm petrified of her is worse than anything russell brand is doing that bad i they're all fucking up also she's just like with willie brand with willie brand with willie brand and he's like who is willie that's the part i wanted to show you guys um such a weird such a weird part of that to highlight you Yeah, this was a wash. I thought we were just going to be looking at couches.

That would have probably been better. That would have probably been better. We'll do that next week. Oh, you didn't think we'd be dissecting a Russell Brand interview from 2016? 13. So unnecessary. What made you think of that i he watched the clip and was like this is funny how can i share it with three other people in a way that they have to watch it uh plugs what do you guys have going on what do you want to point the people to head gum related or not uh let's start with ally uh head uh head gum related we are uh we are in
