This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. Which, thank God he isn't, because again, I don't even know if this episode's gonna go live, because I was fired last week. Sure. He wouldn't have let you guys treat that with any gravity. So I'm really enjoying this. Let's move on to something a little more lighthearted, but not unrelated. Dating in LA.

Yeah, almost. Dating in LA, man. You guys on the apps? Are you guys on Field? Field. Okay, we did learn about this through Georgia's set. Field is the kink app. I was the friend that got him on that app. You were the friend. Are you on Field?

I was on Field. What's your kink? I'm not gonna say. I was the friend that got him on that app. You were the friend. Are you on field? I was on field. What's your kink? I'm not going to say. I was trying to get you to tell me. Marika, take it away. Really? I mean... I'm back in the hot seat. Everyone seemed to love you as the host, right?

So let's just keep on going down that track. I'll swallow my pride. I'll swallow my feelings. Last week, I still hosted. I still had the outline. You were my mouthpiece. And now people are giving you due credit, putting you through due process. And I'm having trial by fire without a jury.

Right? What am I supposed to do? Be better. Really? Yeah. How so? I don't know. I got a lot of compliments from people saying that last week's episode was their favorite episode of the podcast ever.

You did great. It was just a good outline that I did. Where does the part where you're swallowing your pride come in? You said you were going to do that. It doesn't really seem like that's happening right now. You think I'm proud right now? You think I'm proud to sit here and yell at everyone? Yeah, I do. A little bit, yeah. Why?

I don't know. I can feel it. Emma, did you hear the episode last year? Last year or last week? Last week. Let's start with last week, and then I'll figure out if you liked the Miles Bonsignore episode. I didn't hear it.

You didn't hear either? I'm having an echo and all I can hear is myself. I'm really sorry. This wouldn't have happened. This wouldn't have happened if I was hosting. Last week? You are hosting. No, Marika's the fucking

host now. That's what I've decided. Right? This week I don't have an outline This week Marika's taking the reins as host And she has to figure out the games And shit How about that Marika Yeah and honestly

That's not even how the show works to begin with Cause in theory you're planning every week True cause I know theory Yeah in theory You could planning every week true because you could have said hey yeah in theory you could have just said hey Marika your turn to plan if you think you're so good at it but you didn't and so now

we all look dumb well I don't know that I do yeah no you don't Brad I don't need someone to every week be like by the way you need to come up with shit for the podcast I either do or i don't you don't need someone but you're so basically let's get into i'm not quitting i'm just

this is like i'd say you're quitting i said you're equating this to if I am I need guidance from somebody to just do what I'm quote unquote supposed to do when I know I'm supposed to do it in the first place you're destitute to do it it seems which I don't appreciate I show up to every week with a certain

error yeah a certain error a certain air yeah a certain air certain a certain air sometimes joy sometimes wisdom sometimes joel sometimes joel and sometimes soy and sometimes soil i had a dream that i pissed my pants did that cause you to piss your pants? I don't know if we should get into that obviously a little bit of personal

a little bit Your bed is right behind you so if it was last night I guess we'd be able to Yellow and red stains I've been sort of having kidney issues No I I did think it was time for a wax episode. Sometimes people get mad at the segments that I do. Sometimes get mad.

Then they also get mad when I don't prepare anything. So it's been flowing for a while. I feel like we've had a couple good episodes. Now it's time for an ebb. Does that make sense? Sure. Yeah. Didn't anybody ever call you Ebba Foley? I feel like we've had a couple good episodes Now it's time for an ebb Does that make sense? Sure Emma, did anybody ever call you Ebba Foley? Not until right now

So this is kind of the first ebb of your life Yeah, the inaugural ebba Yeah Succession is over You guys didn't talk about it at all last week Okay Well I had an outline to follow Right Succession is over You guys didn't talk about it at all last week Okay Well I had an outline to follow Right

And now we get to talk about anything How freeing is that Brad I've never seen Don't look at other shit No you're looking at like a different monitor I'm sorry I asked for 50 minutes of your guys' undivided attention

And I can't even have that You didn't say undivided also You didn't specify that Well undivided we fall United we Well yeah I guess undivided is united No you kind of got it right

Have you ever flown undivided? Meaning Right because the opposite of united Oh Have you ever flown undivided? Meaning? Right, because the opposite of united. No, undivided is united. That's a synonym for united. You guys aren't following. I'm really not.

Undivided, so not divided. Right. A.K.A. united. That's true. Right. That.K.A. United Airlines. That's true. Right. That's what we've been saying. And you guys are... This is so fucked up. Marika, let's say you're hosting this episode.

How do you corral everybody? Everybody's being unruly. I'd say I'd do some sort of sound effect. We have to move on, even though we weren't really talking about anything in the first place yeah probably not the knocking sound effect though um yeah i think immediately what i could say about my hosting ability versus your hosting ability is that i took the time before the recording to really set up how everyone was going to hear the sound effects. I made sure that they were at a reasonable volume for everyone.

No, you didn't. No, you didn't because you can't affect that. Yeah, and I can. How so? Yeah. How did you do that? Because I actually don't even know. Okay, there you go.

And I don't have that. Right. But you could have thought to download it. Or you could put all of your sound effects in a better sound effect place and what i thought you were gonna say is that you could put all your sound effects in a bin which like they're not in a folder but they are online right it's kind of like carrying all your eggs in a basket putting all your sound effects in a bin well that's what i've done with this show right i go to to general meetings.

What's that? I go into writing and acting general meetings. They don't want to work with me. I don't want to work with them. And they say, what do you do? And I say, mostly I host this podcast. Maybe you've heard of it. And there's this awkward pause.

And then they're like, what's the title of it? And I'm like, oh, right. Yeah, sorry yeah sorry it's called the head gum podcast and they have no idea what i'm talking about they say head gun and i'm like no head gum and that's sort of where we're at all apart they're almost yeah yeah i mean i think you kind of set yourself up for that by saying you've probably heard of it or something to that effect um but but you have to be confident you don't yeah yeah of course emma and how and those have been going well for you uh they've sort of the wells run dry and ultimately i don't know if it ever was that wet does that make sense like yeah what do you mean ew i just don't like you saying wet. You're the one who sexualized it.

I was talking about a well, not a vagine. All right? Okay. Move on. Emma, let's talk about dating in New York. Are you still... No. My love life took a bit of an L earlier this year,

but really I'm recovering. Are you heartbroken? Asking. I, I was, but I'm better. You're recovered already. This was what?

January. Um, yeah, it was kind of January to March. No, I'm not recovered, but that seems like the polite thing to say on your podcast. So that we don't like dive into the idea of heartbreak.

Yeah. I mean, if you want to. Were you unfaithful? No. Did you think about being unfaithful? No, that's not really my style. Definitely. Me either, all of a sudden.

Because what you do to now holy shit emma look we're twinning wow what's the smell what's what's your like scent sandalwood mixed with cedar nice how about if i was like it's actually a citronella i've been dealing with a mosquito issue or like the gwyneth paltrow candle that's what i was thinking yeah yeah well when we were because we we should say that the new york office is in it's like a floor below gwyneth's old digs i think she often did lunch at dig that's good yeah um so but are you are you looking to mingle or thringle sure yeah okay yeah i'm starting to get back out there yeah let's start throwing out that phrase i want to take that out of the podcast but getting back out there yeah oh but you're already out but

you're okay with second you're okay you're okay with sorry mingle and thringle yeah uh are you looking to be set up i can start throwing some names out there um i don't know it depends maybe you throw the she's tish cool i do have a movie i'm looking to get out there so maybe we can yeah the short yeah it's picture locked it is final well yeah final sound if it gets into festivals i'll do another sound mix the sound is kind of shitty really you and you don't fear that the sound mix is sort of what makes or breaks the festival run i do fear that so thank you for capitalizing i absolutely do hear that that's like my main fear yeah but aren't you an audio engineer I mean yeah

Did you see me at the beginning of this podcast I didn't even have my recorder set up Why don't you get somebody at HeadGum to mix it What about fucking Peter I'll ask around I'll put it in Slack Oh speaking of Petereter um one of i don't really i don't care to hear anything on the subject of speaking of peter because it's not

gonna be entertaining or good it was good for me because he said that it was what do you mean he said that my episode was his favorite episode of the podcast and then he also said that he saw Fast X over the weekend and Jason Momoa's character reminded him of you. Because I have long hair? No, it's the energy. Because you were married to Lisa Bonet?

I ran into Lisa Bonet twice. In like a week. This would have been 2019 Topanga Canyon twice in the same day we sort of were running the same errands okay and that's that is what you thought

was interesting from the whole story um it just sucks because I didn't know Peter to listen to the show yeah and it seems like his favorite episode was the one where I didn't know Peter to listen to the show. Yeah. And it seems like his favorite episode was the one where I didn't host. Yeah, that's exactly what I said.

Oh, that's true. Wait, what did you just say? His favorite episode was... No, the exact sentence you just said. That's exactly what I said. Word of the day. Word of the day. Word of the day. Said? Exactly right.

Brad, let's talk about marital woes in Portland. Okay. How are you guys keeping it romanced? Have you read Mating in Captivity? I have not read Mating in Captivity. I don't think I need to because things are going. You're doomed. No, because it's the first five years, right?

We've been married for like seven. I didn't know that. Yeah. So don't say it like I'm supposed to know shit. Don't assume shit without asking shit. Maybe if you hit me up every now and then for a chat or a gab or showed up when I invite you to things. The climbing thing. You're still on that.

Yeah, of course he is. We're all still on that. I'm coming back to L.A. in a couple weeks, actually. And this time you didn't bother to tell me because you don't think I'll show up. I didn't tell you shit. You know what's funny that i had your uh voice in my head this morning i didn't even i thought you were on tomorrow's episode so this wasn't even because i was thinking that i was gonna see you today on zoom but i had your voice being you call and josted me and it did make me laugh that's good i'm glad it's good it's actually really good thinking of me

made you laugh ugh I thought that was nice I don't know daddy chill um I guess it's time for everybody's

Bond of the Week I don't think you guys gave first of all marika i just want to say that you sort of butchered my bond of the week last year because you said it was the ceo blue diamond last week that's the second time you've done that i'll cut it out and I don't mean edit. I mean, I'll cut it out. Is that guy gone? Is that guy dead? What's his name? Joey?

Who? Uncle Joey. He played Uncle Joey, yeah. Dave Coulier. He's, you know that Alanis Morissette song? You Oughta Know? Yeah.

It's about him. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Well, I guess on the topic of shit that doesn't matter Marika last week you were like Jeff spawn of the week is the CEO of Blue Diamond Growers because it's time for a James Almond which is not how it was typed out or meant to be said it was supposed to be a james allmond interesting frantically searching yeah um look once once again i just want to reiterate that you sent a PDF document of your outline. And it very clearly states, it's time for a James Almond.

Almond is not capitalized at all. Almond was capitalized. Nothing is capitalized. This is crazy. There's no way. so the formatting changed right it was that i typed it out just so and then yeah yeah didn't really proofread or edit yeah did you that's fucking grace's job Editing Not your documents I alright What is this cross examination

I'm getting the fucking third degree You were giving me the third degree So I turned it around on you Now how do you like that What are your guys' bonds of the week Mine is uh No no no go Oh mine is um Mine is um sort of uh it would be like

007 um saturday night it's time for a james song time yeah yeah your classic saturday night references because that's the only show that you know because you did it in high school 007 takes the great white way can you imagine like a chase scene that ends at the fucking richard rogers i can it's kind of like that happens a lot richard rogers theater was featured in the last john wick movie john wick four yeah or maybe it was in three it was in three so not ultimately James Bond of the week who do you guys have Paddington Bear and then in this case it would be

Paddington Bond okay and then can you just say Paddington Bond and then I'll edit it so that you said it right away? No, I'm not going to say that because I don't want it to be that. No, because if you say Paddington Bond and then I edit it right there, people are going to laugh and think that you were really on it today. Right, but I don't need that glory

and I don't want it to be Paddington Bond. And don't edit that into a different thing. It's Paddington Bear. Emma, what do you got? You're a director. You're sort of a casting expert in that way. Let's say you're doing... Sorry, just one second.

Let's say you're doing James. I'm directing James Bond. Absolutely. Who do you cast? That does seem like the natural next step for me, first of all. Second of all. Let's fix that sound mix and then it's the next step.

The girl in Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. She just signed with WME. Did she? Really? I think. Sorry. Did you just assume? I think. Sorry. Did you just like assume?

You guys don't read the trades? Do you just assume that everyone signs with WME? No, there was a deadline article. Brad?

I'm going to go famous Italian American scam artist Charles Ponzi. It's time for a James Caan. You could still have said Bonski. I thought James Caan was better. James Caan is way better.

James Caan is just a different actor. Steve Zahn and Jamesames zahn i'm gonna change mine to steve zahn um it's always funny to me when people change it last minute because it just doesn't matter is it funny um i i mean let's talk about the because it just doesn't matter. Is it funny? No, no, no, no, wait.

I mean, let's talk about the air quality. We got into it a little bit before we started recording, but I mean, is it truly, are you guys having trouble breathing? Are you guys basically smoking cigarettes without any reward? Sure. I mean, I've been going outside with a mask that I did yesterday. Stand on a roof for an hour just inhaling and waiting yeah

waiting for it to take me as one does is rice i thought it would be funny if i took this call from outside, but I ultimately decided against it. I do think, though, if it's equivalent to smoking six cigarettes, that's not so bad. That's just Saturday night. Well, I was like, I haven't smoked in a few weeks, so actually I think this is fine. I think this is going to be a net neutral for me. But again, you don't get anything from it. Like smoking a cig, you get like a little bit of a buzz. You look really cool.

But if you step outside right now. I'm not going to look cool. Well, what's the whole fit? Are you wearing like a Royal Tenenbaums tracksuit, matching bottoms? Then I would advise you not to step outside. No, I do have kind of a nice thing happening. Yeah, then why don't you step out.

I mean, where are you? Are you in Bushwick? No, I'm in the East Village. You'll be fine. Nobody cool dresses there. Sorry, nobody dresses cool there. Really? Only in Bushwick?

Yeah. No. No. Do you guys think I would last a day in Dime Square? Jesus Christ. What do you mean no? Actually, can I tell a real story about Dime Square? Because I was there this weekend.

And also, I hate the name Dime Square. But I was walking past a restaurant. And there was a child sitting. There's a family at a like four top outside and they were sitting kind of next to like a ramp up to the restaurant. And then as we approached them, it was clear that there was a child behind them lying on the ramp on a blanket, leisurely eating fries with like, like not in sight of the family at all, like shoes blocking the entrance to the ramp. And ultimately the child. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen in my life. I don't know why.

Why would you just let your child lay on the street? At a restaurant. Yeah, I don't know. Kind of sounds like a vibe. Guys, taking care of your health isn't always easy, right?

I want to see something light a match i want to see something her her billboard gen z isn't drinking and clubs aren't happy i saw that headline actually how about you don't read the news when you're going to be on the show i found out i was going to be on the show yesterday right and that headline was from last night. I don't think it was.

Um. Hmm. If anyone was wondering, it wasn't my stove, so if I keel over from natural gas inhalation. Think of me fondly. Bondly. from natural gas inhalation. Please don't.

Think of me fondly. Bondly. Not good. Think of me brownly. That's really good. I kind of got us there. That's good? It's time for a Marika Brown.

Ugh. Marika Brown. Ugh. Guys, I don't know what more to do. I feel like I'm coming here with a ton of energy. It's not being matched. Brad's fucking... The start of the episode was 10 seconds of silence. And you said you're coming here.

Emma's taking phone calls on the show. We told her to. You told me to answer. And she's like, should I step outside in my Adidas? And then Brad is fucking. That wasn't exactly the problem. Brad is fucking looking at other monitors, thinking about his wife and how good their fucking union is. How fucking undivided they are.

Uh-huh. Which is the same as United. Marika can't handle the show to the extent that she's inhaling CO. Nice. I don't know, man. Like, what do you want to do you want to sing

another song I want to have a conversation I want to scrutinize you want to have a conversation let's talk about how things are going at the network right let's not do that

what do you mean cause it's never interesting how's exploration live going it's going great it's awesome really hitting numbers that you thought

they might I didn't know that exceeding exceeding them to be honest exceeding expectations and also yeah the bar was pretty low, but they pushed past it and also shattered the glass ceiling of my expectations. Yeah, I guess we could say that we have a HeadGum happy hour show

being hosted by Exploration Live coming up. That's cool. And that's June... July 17th. July 17th, that's what I was going to say. July 17th. Monday night, come through. Caveat, New York.

Not a very good night to have a show. Well, that's what you think in LA, but Monday could be a different story. You don't know. In beer news, popular food truck Mastiff Sausage Company is taking over the

La Mesa Beer Pub in San Diego. This is from like the San Diego Chronicle or something. Yeah. It's the San Diego Eagle, but yeah. Okay. What are you guys excited

about in your lives? Can you guys not pick in your lives? Right? Like, can you guys not pick up on this energy that I'm like pushing through, trudging through the sand? I'm excited about a lot. I have a busy ass summer planned. So what are you doing this summer? By the way, you don't have to wait

till you're prompted to share. That's my whole thing. I literally just started sharing. And then you gotta chime in with a direction for me. Let me just talk said what are you excited about? With direction for me. Let me just talk about what I'm excited about, man. Let's hear it. Let's hear it.

I'm going to Squamish. Meaning? It's a town in British Columbia, north of Vancouver, for my birthday on the 4th of July. We're going to go rock climbing. We're going to climb a thing called the Chief. It's big. Yeah, You're just looking outside. Going to some concerts. Going to see Big Thief.

Going to see Goth Babe. Mia Goth Babe. Going to Iceland for two weeks. What are you going to do in Iceland? We're renting a van. We're going to drive around the whole country. The ring. Ring road.

We're going to go climb. We're bringing all of our rock climbing stuff. Ice climb? No. No. Rock. Iceland climb. Iceland climb. Yeah. We're going to see puffins. Some cute little puffins. Are you going to see Amber Ruffin?

Don't know who that is, but maybe. Did you just burp? No, that was a gasp. That you don't know who Amber Ruffin is. Okay. But yeah, busy summer. My band, we're trying to play a show this summer. Our first show.

Original songs? Yeah. Why didn't you ever play a song on the show I'm actually working on the rice one the blink 182 one yeah that's cool so we're doing that Emma you didn't hear last week's episode

so you didn't hear rice burn I heard it is it a different take on the rhythm of the rice you could say that Marika what was that I said you could say that Is it a different take on The Rhythm of the Rice? You could say that Marika what was that? I said you could say that Yeah but you said it in a way that like

Felt like you were really working up the courage to say it And then you looked immediately self conscious Like I'm gonna just Splice it in right here Rice it in right here This sucks This episode sucks splice it in right here. Rice it in right here. This sucks. This episode sucks.

This might have to be worst episode ever three. I think it's going fine. Yeah, but that's the attitude that's making it go bad is that everyone's like, yeah, it's fine. But I'm like, you're not adding anything, right? Well, if you wanted me to host, I would have had to have a different recording setup so I could do the soundboard. I didn't actually want you to host. I would have had to have a different recording setup so I could do the soundboard. I didn't actually want you to host. I just wanted you to feel bad about the fact that you hosted last week.

About the fact? I was crushing it. Yes, and also, again, you did well. But we have to acknowledge the outline. And that's the grudge I've been holding against everyone here for the past 40 minutes. I think the outline really didn't help that much. The outline's the only reason it lasted for 50 minutes. The outline was everything. Rice burn, right?

Yeah, I mean, that was like... Answering the same questions as Donald Trump from his CNN town hall a month prior? That didn't go well at all. Because he didn't give any questions. It was just kind of like a document. But you don't feel like I was a little bit responsible for the omniscience of me? Well, I saw a decent amount of comments that were like, the worst part of the episode was uh like the 30 something minute mark

to the 30 something minute mark and when you clicked on it it was you you singing rice burn so i think people kind of soured when your voice appeared we felt comfort in it like casey and casey said it was like being at your funeral which i yeah i guess so yeah yeah how does that make you feel do you guys like get a different hourly rate like do you guys get like a pay bump if you do the show because i just I just feel like people say yes to doing it and then they're on the Zoom and they look like they'd rather be anywhere else. And I'm pretty sure all three of you guys are salaried employees,

so you're not making any extra money doing this. Why do it if you're going to come up and show up with this sour? Well, sometimes it's fun. And not today. Is that what you're saying? I like the segments. You like when i have segments prepared yeah like an outline i mean and also like at the very least we could have stuck to the segments but made them up as we went along okay so what should we do? What segment should we do? Because I thought about Rickles or Henley,

Don edition. Love that. All right. This is an on the spot, or should I say Don the spot? That's really good. A man with a briefcase can steal millions more than any man with a briefcase Can steal millions more

Than any man with a gun Rickles or Henley I'm gonna go Henley Correct I'm not on any crusade Rickles That was Henley Tough I'm not on any crusade. Rickles. That was Henley.

Tough. You know what's funny to me? Attitude. Henley. That was Rickles. Marika's exactly right. The Eagles and the critics were not the best of friends. Rickles.

Correct! No, that was not me. Yeah, all these brainy quote things from Rickles is just bashing the Eagles. Oh, this is kind of topical. I'm a New Yorker originally. I was raised in... That's where Mariko lives. It's gotta be Rickles

because it's Don Henley. Correct! Where is Don Henley from? I think they're from like Texas. That's cool. Playing the drums hurts my back. I'm going to say Rickles again. Henley.

That's exactly right. Lawsuits should not be used to destroy a viable and independent distribution system. Why aren't you guys like cracking up? That was Henley. Henley. Italians are fantastic people, really. Oh, God. Rickles?

Johnson. Don Johnson. Correct. Rickles. Rickles. This sucks. Jeff, what does your bag say? If I say what it says, it doxes me.

I mean... Bleep it. It says bleep something. I was going to say, maybe she moved the bag. It also said bleep at least a million times. That was Rickles or Henley Don edition. I think that was a hit.

I think that saved the whole fucking ship from sinking. Sure. Can I ask? I have a question. More like a thought experiment or just like something to pause it. But what do we think the next statement tote is going to be? From me? It's from culture in general.

Right now it's what? Because it was L.L. Bean and then it was Trader Joe's and then now what? Well, it was like the New Yorker one for a while. That I feel. Well, it was like the New Yorker one for a while. Yeah. That I feel. And then also like Outdoor Voices, the tote bag that you go and you buy their clothes. Was that? True.

Any thoughts? I'm not a big tote guy. It's because it rains where you live. A backpack, usually. That's cool. And you have a car, so you can just buy groceries and put them in a car. I do use a tote when I go grocery shopping. Cartier. A Cartier tote.

I think Cartier is going to start bagging jewels in hemp. And then people are going to start like, holy shit, look how much money I have. You know, he went to he didn't go to Jared, he went to Cartier. And also I have this like bag made of straw.

Plugs. What do you guys got? What do you want to point the people towards uh the floor is yours let's go emma brad me and then if we have time we'll go marika you can follow me on instagram at emma rose foley and the poison coming somewhere sometime pending the sound mix. Thank you, Jeff. I've been meaning to ask, is that is that about me? When I when I say your name, is it about you? No, the movie. The poster tagline being like that Jeff is poison no it's not about you

but if you want to see it I'll send it your way you can tell me if it resonates maybe it is about you Brad? Brad the human on Instagram if you live in or around Portland I may or may not be playing a show somewhere
