This is a HeadGum Original. Welcome to the hot...
Fuck.
Keep it.
I can't, because then I'm going to look dumb.
Keep it.
I know.
It's just like, what are you...
Can somebody else start the show? Riley?
Welcome to the HeadGum Podcast with your host, Jeffrey James.
I'm here with three amazing guests who I don't think have ever done the show together.
We got Ferris
Monshi in the house.
Ayo. Woo!
Riley Anspa
herself. Wow!
Oh my god, the crowd
loves it! And the man,
the man with the
fucking TikTok plan.
The fucking influencer
extraordinaire, shmuel blue
oh my god they love you yes yes and jeff
what you're here too i'm like everybody else got a really awesome intro Jeff. What?
You're here too.
But like everybody else got a really awesome intro.
And so I was wondering if I would get one.
I sort of ran out of steam.
Also, the crowd went dead silent.
You're the crowd though.
You're the crowd.
You were the one making the crowd sound. What?
That's not me.
I was in control of whether or not they cheered for me.
And instead, they didn't even cheer for me.
Other way around.
What's that? How so? The crowd crowd controlled her i don't think so yeah because there's no crowd it's the four of us we're in a zoom call it just makes me feel lesser than and
i know that wasn't your intention and i know that wasn't your intention but i just like it actually
makes me feel like shit and i don't i and i would appreciate it if you like just confirmed that it wasn't your
intention to make me feel that way because it actually is like everybody's kind of staring at
me like hey man let's get started made you want to feel like let's get started let's start i know
yeah we are this is it this is the starting point uh riley we finally got you back on i was getting bullied online for not
having you on even though i asked you every week for a semester and then i stopped asking because
you said no every time and then you were like hey i think i might come on the head gun podcast this
week so you threw me a bone here and i do appreciate it manhi is the second hardest guest to get, so this is a big episode.
Am I?
What's that?
That's the new tagline of the show.
Take a podcast.
What's that?
The show has changed in certain ways
since the last time you were on, Riley.
You haven't heard it at all.
Sorry.
I've been really busy dealing with the crowds.
They follow me everywhere.
The crowd,
that one.
Yeah.
The one you do.
So it's you walking around Hollywood,
just going,
well,
the Amir,
Amir has one too.
I loved it.
Yeah.
It's fun.
A hot exhale.
A hot exhale.
Um,
it feels like a celebration of me.
So that's kind of what I've been doing lately.
The show started as a happy hour of sorts,
kind of like us all hanging out,
and now it's everybody against me and vice versa.
Cleveland versus the world, I guess, right?
It's like, again,
and I've said it on every episode, but I
shoot a couple conversation
enders off, and you have to sort of
navigate the rocky terrain that I lay bare.
Oh my god, so it's literally, so this
podcast is literally just like what it feels like
to text you. That's what
the HeadGum podcast is. Worse, because I expected
it's real-time reactions. You don't have time to
think, or even time to kind of
put your phone down
and like rub your eyes
like god damn it.
Or even ignore frankly.
It's a lot tougher to ignore too.
Actually every time
Pyle's on the show
he just kind of glares at me.
So I think ignore is an option.
Okay.
I mean it's not ideal.
Yeah but now it's an option.
But we can. Yeah now it's an option but we can
yes Amir
I was about to listen to another podcast
would that ruin the show
or do you think I can go ahead and do that
you shouldn't be on here if you're going to do that
we can get Claire or something to come on
I can have it come into one ear
so it's like in one ear and then out the other
but then you won't
the issue is that you won't be paying attention it's other. The issue is that you won't be paying attention.
It's not really good. It's that you won't be paying attention.
Let me try it and then if it's noticeable
you can tell me to knock it off.
What are you going to listen to?
If it's good we can all...
It's already derailing the show.
Then we can all listen to it.
What are you going to listen to?
Amir. Hey Amir.
He's really enjoying it.
Amir, what are you listening to so we can
all listen together I get that okay is this what you do when you listen to podcasts you respond
as if you're part of the conversation right right right like audibly relate right audible relate
that's a good question that's a good question they're not positing it to you. They're positing it to the guests. I get that.
All right.
I'm going to stop.
It's hard.
It's kind of hard to do it.
So I'm going to head out.
But this has been awesome.
Thank you so much.
Are you talking to us?
Are you talking to the podcast?
I was saying it's hard to do both.
It's hard to do both.
So I'm going to head out.
Are you saying goodbye to them?
No, no, no.
Yeah, to Jeff.
Okay. You can't leave now.'s been what five minutes 40 minutes five seven minutes but it's felt like 40
here we go one time no thought uh riley and spa when was the last time you got to tell someone
i told you so is this the show this is what every week just been like please please come on for this one and so i
was just on with ferris and i said hey if you have any segment ideas let her rip because i didn't have
a ton of time this is um it's a busy week for me because i'm moving in cross country yeah oh actually
i might know the answer to this for Riley okay
Riley was like
should I do this show
it might be like
a shit show
I don't think Jeff is prepared
I'm like no trust me
he usually comes
and he brings the heat
and then Riley's like
alright we'll see
but
my expectations aren't high
and I said
watch this
and then we started the show
so I guess
yeah
so hey
I told you so
play it right now the last time I was able to I'll'll answer for, hey, I'll throw you a bone.
I'll answer for real.
I'll throw you a bone.
I'll throw you a bone.
Well, I wish you wouldn't see it as throwing me a bone by just participating in the show.
No, I'll throw you a bone.
That should be the bare minimum.
I'll chime in.
I'll chime in.
No, it's like, it's, you deserve it.
I'll chime in.
The last time I got to say I told you so, I do think was when I guested on our friend's show called So Yesterday.
It's a nostalgia podcast.
Very funny where we watch projects from our childhood, young adulthood and talk about it.
And so the project I brought was The Lion King one and a half.
Sure.
And I'm like, I hope it's better than what Jeff brought because Jeff was on it, too.
And he brought the worst movie they've ever seen.
Not really.
They were like, well, thank God yours is going to be so much better than Jeff's.
And then it ended.
I'm like, it might not be.
And they're like, of course it will be.
I'm like, I told you so.
It was trash.
And this was Lion King one and a half.
It was trash.
This is absolutely Lion King one and a half.
Isn't the conceit of that movie that it's Timon and Pumbaa doing like director's commentary on kind of it's a little
bit that and it's it's basically like here's our story and at first it's like it's kind of appealing
because it's like oh it's mon and pumbaa the most fun part of the lion king but then it's like
you ever have too much cotton candy at the fair you want to eat the whole bag and then you throw
up that's what lion king one and a half is like.
It's like,
why aren't I just watching the Lion King?
It's like in 1776
if Richard Henry Lee
was in every scene,
it wouldn't be funny.
Yes.
You know,
it's that you get him in that one
and then you get him at the end
when it's all said and done.
And I'm really glad
that we're throwing around
very universal pieces of culture.
Like 1776
and Lion King one and a half.
It's something that like
everyone can relate to
oh totally I know what that is
I know what that's like Ferris you get it
I totally get that
Ferris when was the last time you got to say
what's that
Ferris when was the last time you got to say
like you were in a position where you could say
I told you so
fast say it fast uh
added pressure for no reason no i'm just recently i've been all about speed so how can we get
through this thing and like the most talk quickly or start your answer or the drug just like i've
been all about like fast all right yeah my sister's ex-roommate, she was on this keto diet.
Oh, no.
I tried that for a little bit.
By the way, not good, man.
It's just it's like a lot of avocado and bacon, which you think is good.
But again, it's like the Timon and Pumbaa issue.
It's too much of a good thing.
Yeah.
Don't do it unless you're like you can lose 100 pounds really fast on it, but don't do it unless you need to do that.
Anyways, she's on keto, right?
But she keeps failing at it.
Like she keeps eating burritos.
And she was like doing really good.
I was visiting one night and my sister and I were going to order burritos or like Mexican food.
And Mexican food is pretty anti-keto i would
say it's hard to do anything keto on this corn tortilla count as keto or that's still no no corn
either sorry let him finish perfectly valid follow-up i'm part of the conversation let him
finish no i just what you did was a thousand times worse than what I asked.
I was like, yeah, I was adding to the discourse and you shot me down.
If everything went your way, the show would be bad.
What we're doing is rescuing you.
So Ferris, corn tortillas.
I just want to make sure Ferris has a score and has a shot.
Hey, Jeff, let him finish, fucker.
I'm trying to let him finish.
That would be anti-keto.
That's carbs.
That's tough.
Yeah, it is super tough.
And so, yeah, it's like a lot of meat and mayo and fats.
Yeah.
It's, yeah.
It sounds good for a meal.
And then it gets like, sorry, one second.
It sounds good for a meal.
And then you sort of get nauseous thinking about it.
Or it's like, oh, my God, so much oil.
Oil, yeah. It's kind of like how you feel before you eat fast food i am what's that jeff i am and i'll edit this part out i'm stopping yeah i was saying i was saying i was saying that like
before you eat fast food you really fucking crave it and then at the end you feel kind of gross
yep always regret it yeah i feel like the keto diet is that like i don't know anyone that feels great after
having like a five by five from in and out or something even if it's protein style with no bun
yeah the issue sometimes jeffrey aaron james i swear to fucking god shut the fuck up jeff okay
amir last time you got to say i told you so? Oh, that's a good question. I love that question.
Before you move on from dieting, just thyroid issues,
it could actually lead to thyroid issues.
Yeah, anyway.
God, this is sports related.
You know, I'm a Laker fan and Clippers were up big and it's just like, I'm telling Clipper Nation,
don't get too excited, don't get too excited. They're going to blow it. That's what the Clippers were up big. And it's just like, I'm telling Clipper Nation, don't get too excited. Don't get too excited.
They're going to blow it.
That's what the Clippers do.
And he's like, no, this is a new Clipper team.
We got Kawhi Leonard.
We have proven winners.
What's so funny, Jeff?
What was so funny?
You were like saying things joyfully, but they were rude sentences.
So there was a disconnect there.
And that's what the comedy was coming from.
And so I was just kind of chuckling. Oh, wow oh wow what a great show people love when you explain a joke
i didn't want to people love i didn't want to and you said what was funny i had to explain it he put
me on the spot ferris is staring me at the eyes i'm i'm he's pissed i'm sad i'm scared i'm on edge
of my seat because i don't know what's going to happen next and i'm also kind of walking on eggshells
sacks seat because I don't know what's going to happen next. And I'm also kind of walking on eggshells. Sacks.

a lot of people would spend that very differently than the one sitting next to them. Maybe person A would go for a run, person B would take a nap, and patient zero
would read a book. The point is, a lot of us spend our time and our lives wishing we had more hours in the day.
And the question is, what is that time for?

Wait, Jeff, when was the last time you got to say I told you so?
I thought it was going to be now because I do live with George Peter George Saba, also known as Man George.
And he said, hey, don't get don't get grilled on the podcast record.
And I said, I won't.
These are my friends and I don't think that they're going to treat me that way.
And so I thought that I was going to go upstairs after this and kind of go like I told you so, which I probably still will just for the. Just to do. To save the face.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then next Friday when this comes out, he'll kind of see that I was kind of.
Yeah.
He said we were your friends.
That's insane.
That's insane.
Why is that funny?
If we're all asking.
No, that's really good.
No, he doesn't have to explain it.
We all know.
Imagine you being friends with us.
You're not one of us.
I mean, let alone Amir, who's literally a TikTok influencer on the nightly news.
I'm dying.
I'm dying thinking about it.
It's funny.
I mean, I'm all for a laugh.
Me too.
I fear that every time it'll be a next question.
And I'm laughing through the pain.
Next question.
Is this a segment called next question or is this like different segments?
This segment is called next question.
Okay.
So all these questions are part of one segment sure
Ferris let's start recording the episode now
I'm feeling a little bit bad but
I was kind of rude to Riley earlier I
stepped on her no no no oh my god no you were
totally fine you were totally fine
I'm pretty sensitive
I'm sensitive you're sensitive
I know you are and I'm worried that Ferris hasn't been
able to get a word in edgewise and I just I don't know i don't feel he's doing other work okay is he
no i just deleted my entire file i restarted okay kidding me so he really didn't have the
floor so he really i'll be nice to you guys i'll be nice to you thanks amir it's all good don't
worry about it we all i might have to counteract it by being a little more rude to jeff but we'll
see that's fine that's what you've been doing. That's actually great. So nothing will change.
To start the recording now and then do the same thing is a waste of time.
Hey, Jeff, sorry.
I think it's like being a host.
You have to actually like kind of be in the segment.
So like, what's the segment?
I feel like you're really all over the place.
I'm not.
I'm trying to like go straight down the middle and you guys keep like hitting home runs,
but they're all foul balls, right?
So I'm straight over down the plate.
And like the analogy doesn't make a lot of sense because I'm nervous as shit.
What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about? Because I'm nervous as down the plate and like the analogy doesn't make a lot of sense because I'm nervous as shit
yeah
I had forgotten about baseball
wow really
yeah
it's happening right now
yeah like I had let go of baseball
what's the coldest you've ever been
what's the coldest you've ever been
is the next question what's the coldest you've ever been
sorry we were talking about it was really funny how Ferris was like,
I forgot baseball.
One, two, three, you're out.
Baseball's fine.
You hit a ball with a piece of wood.
What is the most freezing temperature you've ever been at?
Oh my God.
I actually do remember this.
And as a California boy, Ferris, you're the same, Riley.
We all grew up in the desert.
So I feel like we have that connection.
Have you guys ever been to the Midwest in the winter?
Of course.
It hit different.
Let's just say it hit different for sure.
I was born in Israel, which is the desert,
moved to LA desert, and then spent some years in New York. And New York is cold. But like, I remember we did a live show in February in Minnesota, and it was like two degrees Fahrenheit, windchill of like negative 10. And you would call an Uber, you couldn't even I couldn't even stand outside to wait for it. Like, it, it's beyond cold. It's like numb and painful. And I remember the day after the show was a University of Minneapolis football game.
And it's an outdoor stadium.
They were going to be outside for like four hours tailgating for this four-hour football game.
I couldn't stand outside bundled up in everything I could for 30 seconds to wait for an Uber.
And the entire city was like, this isn't that bad.
We're going to stand outside for eight
hours. And I couldn't even comprehend that.
Well, it's so funny that you bring that up because
the Brown Stadium, First Energy
Stadium or whatever, is right
on Lake Erie. And every
winter, people are out there.
You guys, you're getting angrier the longer
I talk. I'm just trying
to add to the...
Ferris, what's the coldest you've ever been brother
he's your brother I'm a brother we're all brothers we're all brothers together even me
maybe not Jeff no I think three we love each other
the coldest you've ever been ferris um man i don't think it's ever gotten that insane like what amir just described that's beyond what i've what i've felt but by proxy can i i can tell you
about how cold my dad has been what has he said said or done or not? Our dad. We're brothers. Our dad.
You won't believe this.
Our good old daddy.
Our old man.
Our old man.
He went to school in Nebraska and it gets insanely cold there apparently.
They would have to do something like, so in the mornings their windshields would be so
covered in frost and ice that they would have to, it's some combination of alcohol and salt that they would have to dump on the windshield, let it sit.
And then like after 20, 30 minutes, I don't know, start hitting the windshield wiper and like barely shoving off these massive chunks
of ice just to be able to get in your car and drive. So that's the coldest our dad has ever been.
I gotta wonder if it's worth it to live in Nebraska or Wisconsin to deal with these like
terrible frostbitten conditions. It seems like the coldest states
should be the ones that are most worthwhile to live in.
But if you're living in a small town in Michigan,
why not just move to a small town in New Mexico or something?
It's got to be super affordable, right,
to live in a place with garbage weather.
Yeah.
You know, like Omaha, Nebraska.
If you're like 40 minutes outside of Santa Fe
there's
everybody else kind of
takes the floor
and then it's like
a natural flow of conversation
I don't know when
it becomes my turn
Jeff it's not your turn
because I haven't gone yet
so it's my turn now
my brothers went
and now it's
and now it's my turn
feels like I'm always last
and then everybody wants
to move on to the next
question before I answer
Jeff
let's get to Riley's
and then move on
brother Riley
brother Riley
brother Riley oh oh oh oh
brother riley um brothers listen brothers gather around and let me tell you the tale
of the coldest that brother riley has ever been um so being being a california girls Being a California girl. It's kind of like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If I had done that, you would have yelled at me for five minutes.
Jeff, I'm actually talking.
Being a California girl.
Daisy Duke's bikini is on fire.
Jeff, stop.
Literally stop.
Just seriously stop
I said two words
Jeffrey
are you complaining
what is this so going to school in Boston
let's just let's just say it was a
rude awakening for sure
that Massachusetts cold hit
different different that's
exactly right
my senior year so my freshman year
it was the worst winter that boston has had since like the 80s and so i was like of course like i
would it wasn't i wasn't cold it was just a shit ton of snow like i would literally see my teachers
like snowshoeing and cross-country skiing to class um which was insane but the coldest i've been there at my senior year i was i was
in a student short film what was it about i'm actually not done talking is the thing so it was
like the time we shot it was like winter turning into spring but it was still fucking cold and so
we were doing a night what was it about oh it was basically like, it's the most like kind of art house thing I've done.
It was, it's a lot to explain.
Yeah, classic.
But Jeff, stop.
I'm doing the same shit Amir's doing.
So we were outside and it was like,
the story took place in like spring, summer,
but it was still end of winter when we shot it.
And so we were doing a night shoot
and I was standing out in the cold
like and just like a t-shirt and a light sweater um and everyone else was in like fucking big ass
coats it was so cold and it was a scene where like it was like i was on the i was like getting
in a fight with my mom on the phone and they're like okay obviously you know it's like you're
gonna do your own thing and and we're not gonna put any pressure on you to cry like you don't
have to obviously but if you do it'd be great for the shot but you don't have to
um i'm like for sure and i it was so hard to focus on not being freezing yeah and so i remember like
tearing up and i could hear they're like this is great this is great this is great but it's just
from me thinking of like how in pain the rest of my body was from being unbelievably cold.
If you're in a t-shirt and it's 40 degrees out, that's the coldest you've ever been.
More than like if you're bundled up and it's negative 12 or something.
Yes.
Yes.
Because it was like we were in like some alley.
So it's like we had the wind chill too.
It was real bad.
And I was very distracted.
But then, yeah. So then I went home and ate some crispy M&Ms and watched TV. too. It was real bad and I was very distracted.
Yeah, so then I went home and ate some crispy
M&M's and watched TV.
If you can believe it. I feel like a bath
really helps. It warms you all the way to the bone.
Sorry, Jeff, are you going to say anything?
When I do, you yell at me.
When I don't, you yell at me.
This is unbelievable. Ferris also didn't speak
for the same amount of time that I didn't. I was patiently
observing the story. Thank you, Brother Ferris also didn't speak for the same amount of time that I didn't. I was patiently observing the story.
Thank you, Brother Ferris.
That's what I was doing, too.
Do I get a thank you?
Thank you, Cockroach Jeffrey.
Cockroach Jeffrey.
So I'm a roach.
I'm a roach, and you guys are all in a family, culturally, which is forming in front of my very eyes.
I was cold once in Michigan fly fishing, and I got frostbite, and it doesn't matter.
I was cold once.
Frostbite?
I had frozen phalanges.
What happened?
Oh, I do remember you telling me about this on Review Review that you did get frostbite.
Is frostbite an official thing, or is it just when your fingers turn numb?
Or it's like, no, we can medically diagnose this as frostbite is frostbite an official thing or like is it just when your fingers turn numb or it's like no we can medically diagnose this as frost i think i think you can medically diagnose it like
it's yeah don't you go like purple did you did your phalanges go purple i don't think they changed
color but we got in the car and then my dad was like oh like blast hot air on your hands and
that's the worst thing you can do because you might have to get whatever like extremity amputated because it can kill nerve endings um but luckily that didn't happen and
my hands are fine i hold them up they're all gangrene oh oh yeah it's gangrene related to
frostbite i don't know all right here we go last question until we move on. And what is gout for that matter?
Yeah, is that like arthritis?
I'm looking it up. Thank you.
Real time. Thanks.
Jeff, don't cut any of this out.
Don't cut any of this gout.
What's the most boring
superhero you guys can
come up with? It is the kind of arthritis.
Backstory and all. Interesting.
Sorry, what were you saying, Jeff? We were talking about gout. I always thought gout was like up with it is the kind of arthritis backstory and all sorry what was what
were you saying Jeff we were talking about gout
I always thought gout was like
like some buildup
of like mold or gross
stuff around you yeah that's grout
and then I thought that in your
in your knees you have creaky kind
of bathroom sealant
that's gone green
and that's gangrene.
That's gangrene.
I gone green from the gangrene.
Come up with the most boring
superhero possible backstory at all.
Let's start with Ferris Munchie.
The most boring superhero ever.
I think it would be
someone who can suck the sound out of a room.
Like all like you walk into an event, like a black tie event and people are schmoozing and, you know, enjoying some cocktails.
And you just walk in and just go.
It becomes a vacuum?
Yeah, and it's sort of like, you know the game,
you know Kirby, the chubby little pink ball?
Sure.
It's kind of like that.
He kind of just goes...
So he absorbs all of the sound into his throat?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
That's cool.
Where does it go?
Can he release it?
That's a really good question, Brother Riley.
And I think what, well, this would make him too interesting,
but I was going to say he can then regurgitate all of that sound
just all at once as just a force.
Like a force.
I don't think that makes them very
well what's the less interesting alt the less the less interesting alt is um you just sort of
swallow it like like a burp you're trying to hide you know those like a gas bubble yeah just sort of
like a and you just sort of swallow it down. And then you fart.
You fart and it's a whistle
because it's all the voices
as a high-pitched squeal of sorts.
Let's hear the name of this man or woman.
Sucks to hear, man.
A full sentence.
Coughiness.
Sucks to hear.
Oh, shit. It sucks to hear oh shit it sucks to hear man
that sounds like you're
conjugating it from a different language
like it's a direct google translate
it has one word
in portuguese but i guess
literally means sucks to hear
man
yeah yeah this is sort of normal in Portuguese, but I guess literally means sucks to hear men.
Sucks to hear men.
Yeah, yeah. Herman, this is sort of normal time of day.
Herman sucks to hear men. Yeah, alter ego.
Herman is his, like, Clark Kent.
Yeah, exactly. He's Herman
at night.
Or specifically at black tie events
he sucks to hear men.
Specifically at black tie events.
He can only do this at cocktail parties yeah just just anywhere
where he can be a troll and maybe he was like maybe he was embarrassed once at a red carpet
event and so now this is like his you know just as an as an origin story it's like uh someone told
him hey actually we're we're revoking your invitation to this, you know, red carpet event.
And then he goes to himself.
He thinks, sucks to hear.
Sucks to hear.
Sucks to hear.
And then he just has that ability.
I want to say yes.
That is less interesting yeah something he ends up
fucking a megaphone that night and that's like when the lightning strikes right he sort of has
the opposite of that ability yeah there's a megaphone involved yeah what about it guy What about IT Guy? Okay. What about him?
His superhero is that when you have to kind of recover a file,
he can make it so.
So that's his job.
Oh, I like him.
This is Ferris' hero.
Ferris is like, what do you mean most boring superhero?
Yeah.
This man fascinates me.
And I want to take him out for drinks.
So like there are some text messages that you want to recover,
but you weren't backing them up to iCloud.
He's got you.
Sure.
His street name, Ferris Monshi.
O-M-Monshi.
Ferris Monshi Boulevard or like a cul-de-sac or whatever.
What's that?
What's what, Jeff?
I don't know.
Oh, my superhero?
So glad you asked.
I did.
Let's talk about a looper.
Listen to me.
I'm mixing up my words.
Let's talk about a little superhero called My Bad Girl.
So My Bad Girl, she, her ability. about a little superhero called my bad girl so my bad girl she how do you say it because you said
it twice different ways the proper way to say is my bad girl so i mean you could just call her my
my bad girl but that's not at all what she likes to hear like you're not gonna be like oh where's
my bad girl like she hates that like because that's not her like she's not a bad girl it's oh my bad girl she's a superhero she's a superhero and she's yeah
so her whole thing is basically like she she's learned to pick up on social cues really well
um and she's done it in a way to to kind of know she's wanted and when it's time for her to go.
And so the origin story of that is basically like she was at a hang, at a little kickback, and kind of overstayed her welcome.
She got a little too happy to be there.
It got to the point where the people who own the home were just like, hey, Stephanie, you actually like,
we're really tired and we got work in the morning
and she's like, oh, my bad.
Oh my God.
And then she left.
So that's kind of how she, that's,
she picks up on it.
Yeah, so that's kind of her thing.
So she doesn't save people.
She saves face.
Yeah, yeah.
So, you know
if the city's in danger
she will
she'll
she'll get on out of there
she knows where
where she's not helpful
right
so
evacuations
etc
my bad
girl
girl
yeah
mostly just someone
like
an overly apologetic person
is what you
yeah
describe
okay
yeah
so I kind of wish Jeff had that power perception the power of perception It's like an overly apologetic person is what you described. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I'm not sure it's not interesting, but Jeff is the line. What does that mean?
You push yourself.
You don't push the envelope. You are the envelope.
You're not saying anything.
I know you're a little, yeah.
You're a roach.
You're a roach in our home.
Brothers, we gotta call... What is this?
The exterminator man, which is my guy.
So my superhero is just the guy that sort of
kills Jeff
when necessary
so he sprays down the exterior of the house
and then you have to leave
because he sort of puts down this powder
that'll disintegrate soon
but it sort of attracts Jeff
for lack of a better germ
and he'll
snort it.
And then he'll go back home and infect himself.
Snort it.
And he'll snort it.
How does it attract me?
It's like made out of, I don't know.
Yeah, it's made out of like watches and fucking beer or whatever the fuck you like.
And then you're like, ooh, what's that?
It's a powder made of watches.
And beer.
On the siding of a house.
And I'm into it.
On the inside, yeah.
How did he become this god?
I killed his parents.
And so he owed you one for that?
I guess.
Welcome to Judging Monshi.
What?
America's newest game show, where the only rule is you got to judge Monshi.
We're going to listen to last week's HeadGum podcast and sort of see how Ferris did.
This is a HeadGum original.
All right, good so far.
The right intro because it's a HeadGum original.
Can I give a note?
I'm your space.
Can I give a note?
Already?
There was like a pause between the intro and the sax.
So maybe just kind of trim that up next time.
Can I defend myself?
You want to leave a beat for an ad insertion point.
That's exactly right. Yeah. Necessarily needs to be that space so that we can insert ads and
keep the show running.
This segment's kind of blown up in your face.
That's, yeah, I didn't know that actually.
That's okay.
Yeah, you didn't.
Let's, let's move't let's move on because
you know maybe I'll kind of
that's good
bing bong

should all acquaintance bing bong let me just get our theme song queued up okay sorry so this podcast is just us listening to last week's podcast are you fucking kidding
that wasn't the interest are you fucking kidding that wasn't the interest you literally
have been asking me for weeks to on a podcast and the podcast is just finally getting me to listen to the other episodes of

fucking real are you for
fucking real right now the only thing
I got out of this day is my
family I got to experience
it with my brothers and learn something new
about our dad that's the best
part of this for me
no not listening to you
trying to find something that Ferris
did wrong, right?
Sort of hard as all to find
gaps. Sorry, what?
It's hard to find mistakes in what he did.
It's hard. Exactly. So why the fuck
is it a segment? So why the fuck is that a game?
It's like a game show.
It's like a hunt. It's like scavenger hunt.
A game show. You're trying to fucking
embarrass this guy. He's helping you out. And he's right. You're wrong. It's like scavenger hunt. A game show. You're trying to fucking embarrass this guy.
He's helping you out.
And he's right and you're wrong.
What's the game?
Let's just, you know what?
Forget it.
Yeah, forget it.
Let's not do this segment.
No, I don't want to forget it because that lets you off the hook. I want to remember this moment.
We cannot do this segment, but I'll never forget this.
Oh, yeah.
This has to be a major part of the episode and our history.
For you to call out someone in the wrong like this.
Amir, what's new with Charlize?
Who?
I wanted to get some updates from your good friend Charlize Theron.
Charlize.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Charlize.
Charlize is, she's, you know, hanging in there.
It's funny.
I'm texting Charlize and she's like, hanging in there it's funny i'm texting charlie's and she's like she mostly
like drunk she like gets charlie's gets like tipsy and stuff and she'll text me like uh like a little
truth or dare thing so charlie's let me just pull up the last thing c-h-r-l-e-e-s charlie's all right
so she says this is funny she ended up blocking me but she was like true or false or truth truth or dare charlie's said that and i was
like uh i don't know truth like with a bunch of yous like true like i'm hesitant right and charlie
sort of picks up on that and she's like you want to be dared and i was like all right the truth is
i want to be dared and she's like okay okay charlie's is like okay okay do me so i'm like okay truth or dare uh so
then charlie's is like all right dare and i said okay i dare you to walk outside like barefoot and
go in the middle of the street and scream like i know what you did last summer style what do you
want from me and try to get like a video of her like barefoot in the middle of the fucking street
where she lives and she's like like, okay, watch this.
And Charlize, it's so funny because Charlize has a certain way of doing things
in a way that's like kind of different from the way other people do it.
So Charlize ends up, what's that?
How so?
Because like this is such a specific dare.
How do other people go out in the middle of the street and scream,
I know what you did last summer style?
Yeah.
So Charlize like ended up, she got her daughter to fucking do it. You Did Last Summer style. Yeah, so Charlize ended up, she got her
daughter to fucking do it. You know Marlies.
So Charlize
because she always wears the robe
CT, Charlize Theron.
So she puts the CT robe on Marlies
and Marlies ends up going out in the street.
And I can see it's not Charlize, right?
Because I know what Charlize looks like.
Sure, from movies and TV.
We're friends.
And she sends me the video and I leak it to TMZ.
And she's like, I can't believe you fucking did that.
And I'm like, Charlie's, relax.
It's a funny little thing.
It's a goop.
It's like, let me leak this information.
And then suddenly they trust me because then they start paying me for other shit,
like weird dark shit.
I have a folder on my computer, not to get too much details,
but I have a folder on my computer called Celebrity Autopsies.
I have access to all this shit like all this shit like shit you don't even want to know about it's like gross gross shit so charlie's is like don't say all this shit like
that don't say all this shit so charlie's ends up and i said this earlier i think i said she
blocked me yeah you mentioned it so charlie's ends up blocking me because she thought I was threatening her in a weird way
because I was telling her about the autopsy thing too
and it's kind of like this weird moment.
But I think she was just kind of tipsy or something
and now she's like,
I want to give Charlize space.
You think any time there's any pushback from Charlize
that she's tipsy?
She's mad at you.
She's ornery. She's ornery.
For you. For that.
Really? Yeah, of you.
Now I feel bad a little bit.
Is that the end?
I'm sure she'll get back to it. Did it get worse from there?
I tried FaceTiming her a bunch and
it was a no-go. It was bad.
I just got a text.
Yeah, from? From Charlize or Marlies?
Her lawyer, actually, but...
Name?
What's his name?
What's that?
What's the lawyer's name?
Harley's name?
Harley's.
Harley's.
Harley.
Yeah, Harley's Theron.
His last name is Theron.
Yes, not spelled the same way.
Is it H-A-R-L-I-Z-E or h-a-r-l-e-y-s it's that with an e at the end
god harleze like a caprese salad almost you know he actually tried to create a new fucking caprese
you know a caprese is right that's the least believable thing that you said. Charlize's lawyer, her attorney tried to come up with a new salad
and seemingly failed, by the way, by your verbiage.
So, caprese, you know, is buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomato, basil, vinaigrette, right?
Sure.
So good.
Yeah, so good, right?
So, the harlase, which ended up not going anywhere,
was buffalo mozzarella, heirloom tomato, cherry
tomato, vinaigrette
toenails and a basil leaf
like a fresh basil leaf
the second to last one before
cherry tomatoes
the basil is an interesting choice too
the basil
yeah because it's already on the caprese
that's why it's not interesting
you said toenails
and when you bite into it it's like the toenail and the basil
sort of brings out this umami
in the harleze
and I'm not allowed to
ever text him or her client
again
I'm trying to remain steadfast
is that the right word?
no I guess not
because he just said
yeah you're not using Steadfast correctly.
Oh, shit.
Why does like weird shit always happen during this recording?
You know what I mean?
I don't know why.
God.
I don't know why.
But if he didn't ask you actually.
It seemingly is 24-7 with you and Charlize.
So that's just like, it's bound to happen.
Now my back kind of hurts.
So.
So.
Da-na-na-na. Da-na-na-na-na. Da-na-na. in the back kind of hurts so I'm being arrested I'm so sorry guys I
might have to go yeah I am yeah they're
calling have you ever gotten a call from
9-1-1 I didn't realize that this was
there's uh yeah somebody just knocked at
your door I'm so sorry guys we can wait yeah you can go check

thank you guys so much for listening to this week's episode of the HeadGum Podcast.
Thank you to our guests, our cult, this new cult that's formed.
Ferris, do you want to play us out with that act?
You know what I was just figuring out, actually?
This is going to be rough, but I was having some fun before we got on.
Okay.
So I was doing the, I have this kazoo really handy
because it's actually a prominent player
in the new lackluster video show we're doing.
It's a main part of the theme music.
So I just have it around now
because it's actually a beautiful instrument
and I don't care what anyone says.
There it is.
That's really good.
That's beautiful. I love you. That was a Hiddem Original.
