Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. I think it would be fun to do an episode of this show that I don't host. Who would you want to host? What do you feel is the host's role? To come up with like two segments and to like keep things moving. But you know who could be good as Mo Welch? Sure.
Starting point is 00:00:28 I mean, Mo Welch is awesome. You said up top that the purpose of the show was to have a company happy hour and talk about the inner workings of HeadGum. So it feels like having somebody that doesn't even currently have a HeadGum podcast host would be like kind of a curveball. Yeah. That the audience wouldn't want to hit.
Starting point is 00:00:52 That's closer. You guys come up with something. Wow. Right? Right into it. Actually, we are doing cams. Can I make this a little quieter? No offense.
Starting point is 00:01:03 Amir can do that for you. Wow. Christmas came early this year. Another guest on the show. New show to the network, but not new show to people's ears, right? Hopefully not. Hopefully not.
Starting point is 00:01:22 I said hopefully not. So, but hopefully, because then the numbers go up. You gain new listeners. You add packages. Suddenly you're wearing a Rolex. Let's freaking go, dude. What's up? I said let's go, dude.
Starting point is 00:01:35 What's that? What's up? Jeffrey has a soundboard of people saying what he's already saying. So it's a little confusing. Because you don't really know his voice either. So it's a little confusing. Oh, interesting. Because you don't really know his voice either. Yeah. So you hear, what's that?
Starting point is 00:01:48 And it could be Jeff saying it, or it could be somebody else saying, what's that? Exactly. So you had a recording handy of someone else saying, what's that? Yeah. What's that? What's that? Who's that? That's Casey, who's a producer slash podcast host here, too.
Starting point is 00:02:00 It's kind of, we're throwing you into the mix. I want to be on the board. I want to be on the board. Wow. And that might be the sound. I want to be on the board I want to be on the board wow and that might be the sound I want to be on the board chairman of the sound board sorry just one second
Starting point is 00:02:11 alright just one second because I actually want to dive into the deal right because you guys are new to the network but an existing show with a kind of big fan base
Starting point is 00:02:17 totally massive Massivo we have 30 fans we have 30 listeners but die hard yeah super die hard they call themselves the 30.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Yeah. Kind of like the 300 but less. Yeah, but less than that. 270 less. But more muscular and stronger. Also, if you have 30 fans that truly buy every product that advertises, that's probably more people using the coupon code than on any other show.
Starting point is 00:02:41 Can I tell you a toxic conversation I had one time in Miami, Florida? Go on i've had a gay event in miami florida for new year's almost exactly a year ago and a gay person i had never met um was kind of negging me near constantly and he said at some point um he was talking oh well first he like gestured towards my friends and was like it's great that they let you go on their podcast I mean I think even just being like a viable podcast guest is probably really helpful
Starting point is 00:03:13 for your touring and I was like well I have my own podcast and he was like I didn't know that and I was like I do and he was like yeah well I'm sure that's helpful too I mean it starts with porn you know if you have a thousand people who are willing to pay five dollars a month to watch you have sex, like that's a good living. And I was like, I don't do porn.
Starting point is 00:03:34 No, most of all, guys. But yeah, and he was assuming we only had 1,000 listeners. I'm really traumatized by the phrase viable podcast guest. I know. Like congratulations, you're a viable podcast guest. You can imagine who he was gesturing towards. I can't even imagine exactly. You can use your imagination. My imagination's
Starting point is 00:03:50 a big, big bet. And then let's go first and last. And this is just tricky. What? Let's go first and last name of who you're talking about. Keep dreaming freak. Yeah, keep dreaming freak. Come on. Keep dreaming freak could be my catchphrase. That's also, are you gonna, so you're gonna spend the whole hour just trying to make shoehorn it? Yes. Yes is good too.
Starting point is 00:04:05 I actually like Viable Podcast Guest as my Twitter bio. And then I will say at the gay party, we were in Miami and Real Housewives of Miami is like the moment right now. So we kept doing this bit to each other where we would every time someone went to the bathroom, when they came back, people would be like, oh my god, you just
Starting point is 00:04:24 missed Larsa and Marisol were here who were two of their housewives and like since we kept doing it like you should know like they're pranking you but when it happens to you each time you're like oh my god where are they and so then we went to this gay party it's literally a gay neon party of gay people wearing neon
Starting point is 00:04:39 and then I'm walking and I'm literally thinking I'm like seeing an oasis in a desert cause I see Jill Zarin's daughter Allie Shapiro from your hostess of New York early seasons. And I'm like, what? Like, why is she here? And I try to talk to her and she's visibly disgusted by me. And her boyfriend's like, she loves it. She's really overwhelmed.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I was like, Allie, I'm a huge fan. Wait, she cares? What? She cares about you? No, she didn't care about me. But I care about her and I wanted to interact with her as someone I'd seen on television. Oh, she loves it and she loves the attention. She loves the attention.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Not she loves it, I think she loves her work. She loves the gay community. She loves you as a gay man knowing who she is. I was like, okay, cool. So then now I'm in a position, I'm alone in the party. I see Ali Zarin at this gay neon event. Now I have to go to my friends after we've been pranking each other all day saying we saw Larsa Pippen. And I have to say, Ali Shapiro Zarin is here.
Starting point is 00:05:26 And like, ask them to believe me. Say that five times fast. And it was truly boy who cried wolf. Yeah. Boy who cried Ali. Ali? Ali. Ali Shapiro Zarin is here.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Larsa Pippen. Yeah. Famous in the sports world now. Sure. Because she's dating Michael Jordan's son. Scotty Pippen's ex-wife is dating Michael Jordan's son. Yeah, she's had an incredible journey on Housewives. Michael Jordan's son?
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yes. How old is that person? And they're engaged. He's like 38, maybe? To be married? Surely not. Do you know her Housewives journey? I don't know anything about her beyond that she's Scotty Pippen's ex-wife and going to
Starting point is 00:05:56 marry Michael Jordan's son. Yeah. So when she was on, so Real Hostess of Miami premiered in 2010 to dismal numbers, and she was in the original cast, and she was still married to Scotty, and then Real Hostels of Miami was canceled after three seasons. She kind of disappeared from the zeitgeist, and then it came back in 2022 or something. Larsa Pippen returned, and she had been, in a word, yassified.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Like, she literally looked completely different, had the biggest ass anyone's ever seen in their life. Digitally or fake? Real. Well, so it's been the source of controversy. A lot of the households in Miami are Latina. And so when she came back, she had this amazing ass. She'd spent a lot of time with the Kardashians in the Kardashian compound.
Starting point is 00:06:41 And so everyone's like, you're going to their doctors. And she's like, it's real. It's from working out. And then this woman, Adriana, accused her of having a Brazilian butt lift. And she said that that was actually appropriate because she is Brazilian. And so that she should be the one who has a Brazilian butt lift. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I think now that I've spent a couple of days in L.A., I want to return to New York yassified. Yeah. How do you do that so quickly? You've got to go to the Kardashian compound. I need to return to New York yassified. Yeah. How do you do that so quickly? You got to go to the Kardashian compound. I need to go have surgery. Well, then Larissa Pippen like posted on Instagram like this is my butt workout. So I obviously started doing it. And then I like said at work, I was like, I'm doing Larissa Pippen's butt workout.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Everyone laughed at me and they were like, it's fake. And I'm just so naive. Like if you tell me your butt's real, like I'll believe you. You have to. How's your butt? My butt's actually getting so good. Really? How do you figure?
Starting point is 00:07:23 What do you mean? What do you do? Well, I go to Ferris down the road. There you go. But then I go on, so Ferris has their classes like Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for my build program, and then
Starting point is 00:07:35 and so Mondays are squats, but Thursdays are deadlifts. So there's like two ass days kind of built in, but then on Saturdays I go and I just do my own thing. And I really just do chest and ass. You know, backs and thighs, chest and ass. And shoulders and ass.
Starting point is 00:07:53 The muscles are like chest and thighs. And for gay guys, it's chest and ass. But it's like getting there. I took some amazing images in my hotel room like two nights ago. It was part of my personal brand for a minute. It's Pharaoh's. You remember. Not Pharaoh's.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Asses. Ass. Really. I've never had a for a minute. It's Pharaoh's. You remember. Not Pharaoh's. Asses. Really? I've never had a good ass in my life and I'm just getting it. I posted my ass on Mane. Really? I'm getting to a place where like I want to do that but like I want to be taken seriously as an intellectual. That's not what happened. The thing about having a
Starting point is 00:08:21 badass and then building a good ass. And being a badass— And being a badass. And being a badass. Let's fucking go. Is that you then want to return to everyone you've ever had sex with and say, like, look at me now. 100%. You know what I mean? I look worse.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I look worse than I did. I just want those who've rejected me in the past to see my current ass. You're talking about a revenge body. I'm talking about a revenge specifically. Back to the Kardashian compound. You're giving revenge body. Yeah. Amir, have you ever had a revenge specifically. Babs, we're getting back to the Kardashian compound. You're giving revenge bodies. Yeah. Amir, have you ever had a revenge body?
Starting point is 00:08:49 No, I've never had anybody, unfortunately. I used to go to the gym. Was that to transition or we're still talking? It did that thing where it's like kill the page. And so I had to kill the page and then refresh. And then when I refreshed it, automatically pressed the button that i got it so that was unrelated but also i'm not that interested in what you have to say okay huh i am well i was just saying i used to go to the gym to lift weights and stuff before the pandemic pandemic happens i don't go anymore
Starting point is 00:09:17 and i find it hard to get the uh energy and desire to lift weights because it's not as fun so now i'm like playing tennis and basketball like stuff that gets you running, but like by accident because you're playing the sport. Can I ask you two questions? Sure. One is, are you single or partnered? I just got married last month. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Thank you. Congratulations. How'd you meet? We met through a dating app, but our friends tried to set us up before that. Okay. Okay. Tried back to pop. And then secondly, so being partnered makes it hard, I think, to get motivation to go to the gym.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Because you don't need to have a revenge body anymore. Yeah, like you don't need to be peacocking and you don't need, yeah. I think that the two ways to feel motivated to get to the gym is either to be single and like sad about it or to be gay but like partnered to someone who's hotter than you. And that's why I don't go to the gym and then my second question oh my second thing is oh what's fun about pharaohs is that it's like um i because i'm a big i was a big runner and i get very motivated by like numbers and like well you know four weeks ago i did the same workout and these were my mile splits and so like what can i do in eight weeks or something like that yeah and so i think for me just lifting it's hard to get motivated but if i really keep track of what
Starting point is 00:10:35 i'm doing i can get really motivated athletically that's why you have the build program when i hear the word pharaohs now like the way you brought it into my life, I literally glaze over and like my body leaves, my soul leaves my body. It's a great name, Pharaohs for a gym. Yeah. It's unlike any other gym name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Ow. So long. Bond of the Week. That was really long. Sorry about that. Bond of the Week. What's that? Basically,
Starting point is 00:11:04 this is a segment we've done that everybody hates. From the moment long. Sorry about that. Bond of the Week. What's that? Basically, this is a segment we've done that everybody hates. Great. From the moment that Daniel Craig was out as Bond, we've been every week lobbing up. If you think I know about that, you're crazy. What is that? Daniel Craig was 007. Okay.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I think he's so hot. He's not hot to me. He's a beautiful man. What do you guys think? Not me either. Whatever. He's not my type. We have really different types.
Starting point is 00:11:24 And every now and then we've been overlapped. But Daniel Craig is like very my type and very not your type. have really different types and every now and then we have an overlap but Daniel Craig is like very my type and very not your type which is like eagle what? pretty eagle what's eagle?
Starting point is 00:11:31 what's eagle? you know there's like the eagle handsome there's the bear handsome there's the like Instagram presents you with those infographics of like what kind of hot there is
Starting point is 00:11:38 is that for the gay community? I think it's just for men is this for men who buy supplements? who buy not bi who buy supplements? Who buy, not bi, who buy supplements. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Bisexual supplement. Yeah, there's supplementary bi.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Wait, supplementarily. I'm so tired. That's the soundboard. We just did a pod. Supplementarily. That's merch. My new drag name. Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:12:04 I guess he's an eagle. I can't remember the infographic. He's just muscular and has broad shoulders. So every week since he's been out as Bond, we've been lobbing up our casting decisions for the next 00. This week my pick is Jane Fonda because she would then be James Bond. Oh, that's great. That's cute.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I would say Sarah Michelle Gellar. That's really good. Or Jemima Kirk. Jemima Kirk. Because she's great. I would say Sarah Michelle Gellar. That's really good. Or Jemima Kirk. Jemima Kirk. Because she's British. Yeah, she'd be so good. Did you say James Bonda or James Bonda? We do have to take a break.
Starting point is 00:12:42 This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Guys, if you had an extra hour in your day, how would you spend it? Because I would absolutely fix all of my problems with the extra hour. That's the issue, is that there aren't 25 hours in the day, so I can't become a better version of me. Does that make sense? But maybe you would want to go for a run or go for a nap or go for reading a book because a lot of us spend our times wishing that we had more time in our day. And the question is time for what? Because if time
Starting point is 00:13:19 was unlimited, how you would use it would infer your mental health and your happiness and your joy.

Starting point is 00:15:39 Check it out. Oh my God. And we're back. Wait. Definitely. So loud. Sorry about that. Do you guys have any James Bond of the week or Jane Fonda of the week?
Starting point is 00:15:49 You did say James. Who was that actress you brought up yesterday? Where? If you feel safe with me saying this, when someone asked you about someone on Ryan Reynolds' tier. Oh, Courtney Cox. And you said Courtney Cox. Is she your fame?
Starting point is 00:16:01 I was in a work meeting for a short-term gig where I found myself sitting on a Zoom being asked by a straight man, are there any celebrities we're not thinking of? To which I had to reply, are there any A-listers we're not thinking of, like Ryan Reynolds level? And I had to say, do you mean just name celebrities? And he said, yeah. And so I paused for five seconds and said courtney cox yeah i hear ryan reynolds i think courtney cox uh amir bond of the week uh not a person but just a name that i happen to like is allison felix oh sure yeah was that a person or is that just a name? Just a cool name.
Starting point is 00:16:45 It also is a person. Is it? She's like a many, many time Olympic champion. Alison Felix. Let's fucking go. Yeah, she's the most famous probably. Ow! Are you always like this? Yep. She's probably the most famous.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Are you always like this? I'm an HSP, highly sensitive person. So you don't want to hear giant metal being dropped in your ears? Yeah, I'm quirky like that. Sometimes I'll do one-off or maybe keep it down here. I think one-off is the singer's go-to.
Starting point is 00:17:17 I'm also that, though. I'm also the HSP, whatever cat it is. Alison Felix must have been in my head from an Olympian eight years ago. She's huge in the news in 2021 because it was her fourth Olympic team, which is very rare for a sprinter because sprinters' careers are shorter. And obviously it's like 16 years, 17 because of COVID. And she went pro as like a 17-year-old as a 100-meter runner.
Starting point is 00:17:37 And then she's been to every Olympics since, I guess, Beijing, maybe Athens even. Okay, let me think of a new name then. I'll say just creating one off the top on the fly, not really even. Okay, let me think of a new name then. I'll say, just creating one off the top, on the fly, not really a real person, but Jackie Joyner Kersey for James Bond. Jackie Joyner Lucas? Who? Forget it.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Okay. This brings us to our first segment, which is worse? So I'm going to present you guys with two things, both that are either really bad or really neutral or good. You have to say which of the two is worse. So number one is charity for a cause that doesn't matter or chastity for a cause that does.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Which is worse? Chastity for a cause that does. Right, because that doesn't help the charity. And I think that charity for a cause that does. Right? Because that doesn't help the charity. And I think that charity is so, for a cause that doesn't matter, is so funny. I think, not that this doesn't matter, but it harkens back to homeless, not toothless, from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Yeah. Which is where they give unhoused people
Starting point is 00:18:46 like veneers. Veneers. That's so funny. That's awesome. Have you guys ever donated to a charity that you thought mattered? Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Sorry. Finish what you were saying. Forget it. Number two is Madison Square Garden's carbon footprint or monosodium glutamate's character assassination?
Starting point is 00:19:07 So, you know, how much power does MSG take and how does that affect the environment? And then also the fact that MSG was sort of bastardized. Yeah. I think, well, I feel like I answered the last one. I don't know. I think the latter. That's really tough.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I think the latter because I don't like when there's,'s like I feel like in the nutrition community, there's always like fatty things that are said where it's like sugar is so bad. And then like five years later, it's like actually it's really good. And then it's like fat is so good for you. Actually, it's so bad for you. Actually, whatever. And it's like actually stop trying to like oversimplify it.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Yeah, I agree. And also Madison Square Garden might be leaving a carbon footprint, but it's like bringing the fun. Exactly right. I'll agree with that. Like when I famously saw Louis C.K. live in Madison Square Garden as a special guest. Recently. Very recently. Last week.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I was at my straight friend's wedding party and like. Why did you specify straight? Like I feel attacked almost because you said that and then it's like straight into the Louis C.K. Well, it's germane because. Because it was a straight wedding, all the other groomsmen were straight. And so they were giving like, they were giving like thank you whatever experiences so they brought all the other ones to a hockey game
Starting point is 00:20:28 and then I think because I was gay they were like let's do something in the arts and so they brought me so then I had to sit through two hours of Louis C.K. like waxing poetic
Starting point is 00:20:36 about like women's reproductive rights yeah would you rather have seen a hockey game? I don't know yeah I don't know
Starting point is 00:20:43 I would have rather probably seen I was also like 24 days sober and I was like, can I just sit this one out? 24 days sober. All right, number three, which is worse, two people with the same name dating each other, but they are compatible. Are they same sex?
Starting point is 00:21:01 It doesn't matter. Unspecified. It's not always about that. I know, but to me, it's actually germane. Let's say, again, you're from Germany. Let's say same sex, then. Okay, so same sex couple dating same name. Yep.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Or, which is worse, two people with different names not dating each other, but they are compatible. What's worse? Probably the same name dating. Really? Yeah, because the second thing is nothing. I don't know why. I'm not processing a single word you're saying. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:29 Everything you say, I'm like, wait, what does that even mean? I don't know if I'm sleep deprived, but I'm like, dude. I think Jeff is like the cotton candy of men. So he says stuff, and then it just disappears before it reaches him. No. Did you just boo? I said, ooh. Oh, boo.
Starting point is 00:21:48 That sounds yummy. Well, I think that... But without the sugar part. So sort of just loose cotton. Yeah. Cotton swabs. I think that... Copy cotton, Rob.
Starting point is 00:21:59 To me, the first one's worse, but if they were... I think it's really cool when there's like a Taylor Lautner situation where like he's dating a Taylor. Yeah. And that's really cool and good.
Starting point is 00:22:08 But when two gays, the same name date, I think that's actually like harmful. Has that ever happened to you or a loved one? Oh, my God. I think that's why my brain isn't processing this shit. Number four, which is worse, being in a coma, but during a period of time that was worth missing. Or two, having a barbecue but on a really, really hot day. What's worse? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Being in a coma. No, 100%. Oh, no, I think having a barbecue on a hot day. I think that sounds lovely. Okay, number five. I would love to be in a coma. I know you would. Medically induced? I would love to be in a coma I know you would Medically induced
Starting point is 00:22:45 I would take a medically induced Someone prescribed me a coma No For what? I think I just need to like Skip a chunk of life right now Right Currently?
Starting point is 00:22:56 Yeah I would take a coma You're doing amazing I know, but I think Thomas Thomas Weedy Thomas Weedy But don't you think if I could skip the next month,
Starting point is 00:23:05 I would be even better? No, because I think you'd be starting where you are now. When you go through a coma, do you process grief? All right, number five. Which is worse, wearing a bandana as a shirt, but it's too big to be sexy? Or wearing footed pajamas to an okay darty? What's a darty?
Starting point is 00:23:32 Everything about footed pajamas is bad, and everything about darty is bad. What's a darty? It's a day party. Oh, yeah, that's got to be worse. But there's nothing better than when a fucking snatched girl wears her tribal buff as her tube top. There's nothing that will ever beat that for me. I wish. I just wish that my body type allowed to have a backless bend at the top.
Starting point is 00:23:58 That's okay. In my next life. Or if I go to the compound and get some surgery, I can make that happen. You and I will cool sculpt after this. Yeah. This is the beginning of a beautiful plastic surgery. I don't want that to happen to me. Cool carpool.
Starting point is 00:24:09 I don't, we're a beautiful carpool. Cool sculpting is so scary to me because of the. Yeah, what's that? Linda Evangelista. Yeah, and a lot of people have like these side effects where they get all lumpy. No offense, that's beautiful too. Well, they also said that about the Panera Charged Lemon. And I'm on my fourth one.
Starting point is 00:24:21 I want that so bad. No, add, add. I cannot be going on air telling everyone what happened to you. I want the caffeine lemonade from Panera that killed someone. It killed two people. More than one. No, I think it's two people.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Oh my god. Alright, which is worse? Cheating on your partner on the exact same night that they decide also separately to cheat on you or being monogamous but being generally satisfied by that. The first one.
Starting point is 00:24:51 The first one's interesting because you never really hear about that. Well, the first one's like you just need to be open about having an open relationship. You just need to be communicative. That's all cheating, I think. You either don't want to be with the person or you want to be open. Yeah. It's almost better when it's double. Yeah, being open it's, it doesn't work for me personally. And no disrespect.
Starting point is 00:25:13 A lot of people I know it does work for. Straight? I don't, I know one straight couple. But they're both bi is the thing. I think you both need to be bi. Yeah, sort of like a Michael Peterson thing. If you're straight, you can have a lovely relationship if you're bi. Alright, which is worse? Buying a dog from a breeder
Starting point is 00:25:33 or not speaking up when your voice could really help someone in need? Which is worse? Number two, sweetie. The dog's already alive. Yeah, the dog's already alive. That was which is worse. Thank you what I was going to say. Number two. The dog's already alive. Yeah. The dog's already alive. That was Witches' Worst. Thank you guys so much for playing along.
Starting point is 00:25:50 That was difficult for me. Take you to this side of the room. Amir, why don't you really participate? I know that you're thinking about the voice. Amir, what's going on with you? I feel like I'm participating. I know you're thinking about the smell of cracking open a fresh can of balls. Well, whenever I talk, you sort of cut me off with a really loud sound effect.
Starting point is 00:26:01 No, but you mean I don't cut you off because I'm always trying to— It's a Pavlovian response. Response, that's what I was going to say. Yeah, you're sort of creating this negative feedback. It's a negative feedback. It's an oraboros of nonsense and joy. I'm now de-incentivized to weigh in because it hurts us every time I talk.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I feel like you're training me to be quiet. In a way. It's hitting it. It's actually working is what the annoying part is. I'm trying to talk despite the fact that you're the host. You're not helping me. You're being the host and that's act like we're butting heads as I speak.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Because now the energy in the room is starting to swirl in this sort of like, yeah, infinity loop. Yes, it's a negative feedback cycle. Yeah, it's hard to have
Starting point is 00:26:33 a guest on. Right, and I didn't want to do that. That's why I was giving them space to answer. I think the four of us should go get tattoos. To commemorate this.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Another good soundboard. To commemorate this episode. Are you annoyed that you're here and not playing tennis? No, I'm playing tennis, but at four. So this is a good, I'm getting an hour of talking and then an hour of playing. I have to go do a voiceover thing. Three buddies of mine. Name them.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Sutton Strachey, name them. One of them is also here. Name them. Do you know that? Name them. No. Oh, God. Not to keep bringing up Housewiveswives but it's an iconic scene
Starting point is 00:27:06 where like Kyle Richards is sitting down with Sutton and Jackie oh yes I've seen that meme yes and Kyle's like you're always acting so crazy so many times you act crazy Sutton
Starting point is 00:27:13 and Sutton goes name him Kyle starts naming them but she keeps cutting off like name him and Kyle's like when at my birthday when you're like
Starting point is 00:27:21 name him when we were in Vegas name him and then like Kyle you really like to tell so much I then, like, Kyle, you really, like, tell us how much. I want to see that clip. Yeah. You really sold me on that clip. This is an ad.
Starting point is 00:27:32 I bet. This is Jeopardy! Jeopardy! Oh, cool. Jeopardy is the name of the game. It's sort of the HeadGum Podcast version of Jeopardy. Sort of. Sort of, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Everything you see on here will be for actual cash. I'm bringing the money back. But you could also end up in debt. So let's be careful here because there are negative point values. It looks like your computer is almost dead. Really? Oh, scary. That's pissing me off.
Starting point is 00:28:22 I timed it perfectly with your heart out. Well, I'll still have half an hour. I was waiting on my new friend, but she didn't see me. Anya? Yeah. Anya iced you. I thought that one person was Jake when I first spoke to him, but it wasn't. Marty looks like Jake.
Starting point is 00:28:33 Yeah. Which is kind of confusing because me, Marty, and Jake started HeadGum and worked together all the time. And a lot of people look like me. And not a lot of people look like them, too. Totally. So when you see me and Marty, you automatically assume it's me and Jason. 1,000%. And the weird thing is, like,
Starting point is 00:28:49 there's nobody who really looks like me at the company, even though if you walk down the street over here, you see 15 people. You need to hire one of them. I don't know what happened or what the universe brought Jake and Marty together, but it's a very confusing situation. Totally.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Speaking of very confusing situations, let's get into Jeopardy. Team one is going to be Kat, team two is Pat, and team three is a Matt. That's my name. A Murat, yeah. A Morat. So let's start with Kat. Why don't you start us off here?
Starting point is 00:29:20 You control the board for some reason. I don't really know how Jeopardy works. And I was going to ask that. I didn't want to insult your intelligence. I don't know how intelligent Jeopardy works. And I was going to ask that. I didn't want to insult your intelligence, but... I don't know how intelligent it makes you to know how it works. Really? Like, do you watch it every day?
Starting point is 00:29:30 I've been staking my entire sort of self-worth on that. Like, I'll have something for 100. Oh, I know how this works. Our categories are Morning Joys. Okay, I'll do
Starting point is 00:29:38 Morning Joys for 200. Okay, just for the audio listeners, though. Morning Joys, Unlikely Aphrodisiacs, railroad gauges, celebrities who saw their mommies kissing Santa Claus and were affected by
Starting point is 00:29:52 it, and do. What's do? It's sort of, yeah. So. Okay. Alright, morning joys for 100, you said? Two. 200. Here we go. When you have a sneaking suspicion that you might order pancakes for the table and a round of mimosas along with your sandwich. So now I say, like, what is...
Starting point is 00:30:12 Yeah, you have to answer in the form of a question. And this is the answer. Okay, let me look. But we could all answer if we think of one. Like, brunch is going off. When you're going off at brunch. That's absolutely correct. What is when you have a hunch
Starting point is 00:30:30 that brunch might devolve into drunch? Back to Kat. Wait, she gets points for that? It's close enough. It has to be close enough. Was it? I can't tell if you're bullying. Jeopardy rules?
Starting point is 00:30:40 I actually feel really stupid right now. No, no, no, no. That, as far as Jeopardy goes, you got it right. Okay, okay, okay. That's galing. The fact that you said brunch which was one of the words
Starting point is 00:30:49 in the answer puts you in the top 1%. All right. Kat still controls the board. Oh, I do it again? Yep. All right. What, you want that one?
Starting point is 00:30:58 I really want the do just out of curiosity. Okay, well, let's do for 300. All right. Do for 300 is rare. What a mirror is. Isn't that funny that I wanted that one?
Starting point is 00:31:08 That is weird. I'm having to get in the head of the person who wrote it. I'm going to say what is dumb. That's really good guess for what he has in mind. Incorrect. Pat, I don't want to do this to you, but you do owe me $300. Oh my God. As it stands, you might get the money back.
Starting point is 00:31:26 Or your money might go to... You guys know It's a Wonderful Life? Guys, you got it all wrong. I have an answer. Your money's not here. Your money's in his house. One second. I'm trying to answer the question.
Starting point is 00:31:36 Okay, yeah, let's figure it out. Bless you. A dunkle, which is a dumb uncle. Nah. Well. What air is? Kat, do you want to posit a guess?
Starting point is 00:31:48 Amir Yomi? I don't think so. I'm just trying to make profit off this episode. I'm not going to pay you anything. What is... Also incorrect. The answer we were looking for
Starting point is 00:32:04 is what is duplicitous interesting yeah because he'll come here and say oh I'm so excited to do the episode you know but really all he's thinking about is cracking open
Starting point is 00:32:11 that fucking can this thing I can have it while we're doing the episode of balls of tennis balls got it I almost like what is that tennis brand
Starting point is 00:32:18 like Penn no Dunlop oh yeah yeah I don't know what is Dunlop's brand ambassador what, yeah. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:32:26 What is Dunlop's brand ambassador? What if that's like for 200? Do, yeah. All right. Pat controls the board. Oh, I do, do I? Yeah. Okay, I'll take Unlikely Aphrodisiacs for 100.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Unlikely Aphrodisiacs for 100. Fibrous wheat wafers. Perfect for carbo-loading before, say it with me now, a session. Wheat wafers. Wheat wafers, wheat wafers. Oh, what is a Triscuit? Correct! We were looking for Triscuits. These are sort of a sickeningly not obvious aphrodisiac in my experience. Yeah, because they're dry and coarse and salty and not good.
Starting point is 00:33:04 No, they're actually so good. Wait, they are aphrodisiacs? In a way. Unlikely, though. In your personal experience or speaking broadly? Some of these are informed by my personal life. Some of them are informed by, I would say, the cultural conversation. I don't think there's any sexual conversation around Triscuits.
Starting point is 00:33:19 Really? Imagine kissing a man like Jeff with Triscuit on his mustache. Alright, Amir controls the board. Let's stick with aphrodisiacs, because I don't think I've ever gotten a correct answer before, so this is exciting. Unlikely aphrodisiacs for 200. The seeds you spit out before spitting out their seed.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Ding. What is poppy seeds? No. Really? Seeds you spit out, like a snack. poppy seeds? Uh, no. Really? Seeds you spit out, like a snack. So sunflower seeds. Correct! Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Good job, Pat. Oh my gosh. I know we're on different teams, but I feel like I'm happy for you. Well, now I'm almost, like, winning. I'm happy for you. Pat controls the board. Okay, let's do Aphrodisiacs for 300. Let's finish out the category, they always say.
Starting point is 00:34:00 Aphrodisiacs for 300. Wine made from red grapes. I mean, what is red wine? Oh, wait, do we all get to answer? Yeah. What is rosé? Don't tell me no. What is Malbec?
Starting point is 00:34:16 What is what? Malbec? The correct answer is champagne. Is that true? Did you guys know that champagne mostly is made from red grapes? No.
Starting point is 00:34:27 That's crazy. Right? Or it might be wrong. Back to Kat. That's crazy or wrong. Oh. Okay. What about
Starting point is 00:34:38 morning joys for 300? Morning joys for 300. Something Jeff does considers doing, sorry, every morning. Something Jeff considers doing every morning. Something Jeff considers doing. What is jerking off? Really?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Jeff considers it? Who's Jeff? That's me. That's another good noise for the soundboard. Who's Jeff? You also don't have to answer. It's hard because I don't know you. Famous as I just demonstrated.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Yeah, I don't think I'm going to answer because I don't want to risk my points when I'm so close to being in the lead. What is crunches? The correct answer was what is making a fucking run for it? What is just getting in the car and just. From your partner?
Starting point is 00:35:26 Why? Not from her. She's lovely. From your life. I think you guys have a good thing going. It's monetizable. Yeah. Is it comfortable?
Starting point is 00:35:37 No. Totally. Sorry to hear that. I would never have guessed that. Now I see why I was so good at the brunch one. All right, Pat. Okay, wow, I was so good at the brunch one. Alright, Pat. Okay, wow, I'm still in control. Don't let it get to your head, Pat.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Okay, let's do celebrities who saw their mommy kissing Santa Claus and were affected by it for 100. Celebrities who saw their mommy kissing Santa Claus and were affected by it for 100. Where the sidewalk ends would not have existed had it not for this post. It's also a scene. Wow. Just for the audio listeners, though.
Starting point is 00:36:05 Where the sidewalk ends I kicked my friend. Where the sidewalk ends would not have existed had it not been for this poet walking in on his mom engaged in amorous congress with Father Christmas. And the correct answer is Shel Silverstein. Yes, I'm fully winning.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Pat is in the lead with zero. Oh, yes. Okay, let's do... Oh, I'm minus 100. Let's do celebrities for 200. Celebrities who saw their mommy kissing Santa Claus. Witnessing his mother's infidelity at a young age drove this man to invent the fucking phone. Oh, who's that guy again?

Starting point is 00:36:55 What Jeff is constantly under as the host. What is the rest? Oh. Wow. I wish I hadn't chosen to follow the rules by buzzing. As soon as you got excited that you were winning, I was like, I want to win, too. I know, but I... And a win for me is a win for us.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Okay. Back to Kat. A win for me is a loss for you, and that means the world to me. Let's do celebs for 300. Celebrity who saw their mommy kissing Santa Claus and were affected by it for 300. It's no wonder why this reclusive American poet. Who is Emily Dickinson? Wow.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Correct. Okay. Do we have to buzz is my only question. I think just yell. Okay. Sorry about that. It's no wonder why this reclusive American poet lived a life in solitude and as she once watched in horror as her mother ate Santa's ass.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Wild nights indeed. And the answer was. Okay. I really have to go into overdrive. Back to Kat. What is due for a hundred? Due for a hundred, a classic diner in Los Angeles where Jeff almost said hello
Starting point is 00:37:58 to someone who looked like but wasn't actually Jeff Dunham. Oh my God, I know it. Yeah. Oh, I can't remember the name of it. Amir grew up here his entire life. I saw one of the most similar manner there one time. I mean, I have three guesses,
Starting point is 00:38:13 but I don't know if I can narrow it down to one. A classic diner in LA. I'll guess Mel's Drive-In. Oh, Jesus Christ. The category is Dew. I think I know it it but I can't remember the name sorry I forgot
Starting point is 00:38:26 the do part yeah but you already buzzed out so Pat do you just want to say what he just said oh I missed what is do part
Starting point is 00:38:32 what is do part no it's not fair and she had no idea I know that was awesome that actually wasn't the one I was thinking of in my brain
Starting point is 00:38:40 this was still the Santa Claus category I thought it was that one I watched that happen to you well listen let's just round up. Let's do a round up here for a second.
Starting point is 00:38:49 Kat, you're going home with $700. That's awesome. Maybe less, maybe a little bit more. But Pat, if you guess wrong, you're going to be in debt. So you're safe for now if you don't answer. Yeah. And Amir, the company has to pay me
Starting point is 00:39:01 for doing this already. But you might want to slide me a 200 stack. Two bands. Two bands, which is actually two grand. Cat controls the board. What is morning joys for 100? Morning joys for 100. Something that might make you smile.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Huh? This is so hard. Nobody has to. Might make you smile. What is a bowl of cereal? This is so hard. Nobody has to. It might make you smile. What is a bowl of cereal? What is Folgers in your cup? I was going to guess that.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Were you? I knew we were thinking about that together. But I can't risk it. You have too much to lose. Yes. The correct answer we were looking for is what is when you wake up and win the lottery? That's a really good answer. That might make you smile.
Starting point is 00:39:49 That might not be your reaction. Because it ruins people's lives. Yeah, people die. People get hurt. Or they just become greedy. Bag break. Amir controls the board. A lot to lose, a lot to gain here. Railroad gauges for 100.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Railroad gauges for 100. The name of the widest standard rail gauge in the world. Again, you do not have to answer, but I would encourage Amir to, just so I can keep making money. 12 inches. 12 inches is the widest. The correct answer is, what is Brunel? Well, did not know that.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Pat controls the board. Okay, railroad gauges for 200. Railroad gauges for 200. A system for operating railway wagons on two or more gauges to overcome difference in the track gauge. This is so specific. So guess. A system for operating railway wagons? Wagons. On two or more gauges?
Starting point is 00:40:49 I can't even wrap my head around this question. I'm trying to pull knowledge from watching The Gilded Age. Oh, nice. But it's not coming. Carrie's husband. Carrie's husband. Do you think it's hot? Morgan Spector.
Starting point is 00:41:00 Out of time. The correct answer is what is a bogey extreme? That's the name of the actor. What about this isn't fun to play? He's so time. The correct answer is what is a bogey extreme? That's the name of the actor. What about this isn't fun to play? He's so hot. The silence in between the questions.

Starting point is 00:41:49 What was that? How do you feel being Jeff with a G? Um, I like it. My mom... It's my uncle is that. So, the only annoying thing is when you're, like, giving information over the phone or at the DMV, it's like, no, it's actually G-E-O. And then you're like, J-E-O?
Starting point is 00:42:02 And I'm like, G-E-O. I used to think as a child, which I would prefer since I had an uncle. My favorite position is G-E-O. Remember that? That's really good. Where she said CEO. I love that moment. I love that pop culture moment.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Yeah. That was like radical. It was punk rock. Yeah. You said G-E-O? No, Lauren Conrad was on like Howard Stern or something. Like what's your favorite sex position? What's your favorite position?
Starting point is 00:42:26 And she's CEO. Got it. But then GEO is a playoff. That's a soundboard. Means nothing. Got it. What I said means nothing. That's another good for the soundboard.
