Over 122 million under thick haze from Chicago to DC as Canadian wildfire smoke spreads across the US Don't I know it is that happening again? Yeah so

There was like that time like three weeks ago where the sky was orange and it looked like it was raging and then it went away But the fires were I've just still been there and the wind hasn't carried it south or something that I don't Know but I did get that shit. I don't know sorry. I was trying to hear the answer Yeah, sorry, but I actually had a joke that Marika stepped on I was gonna let it pass, but yeah Marika's work it was talking when you started the joke and she stepped on it? I said to Amir as soon as I walked in, are we ready to make some magic? I Said to a mirror as soon as I walked in are we ready to make some magic? I said it clean I said it in spry inspiring No, you said are we ready to make some Matt are we ready to make some magic some laughter? Yeah Because I feel like this room is slowly becoming legend in the comedy spheres

Like you know the shoe wall at Earwolf was like a thing for a couple years. I feel like seeing. Yeah, they had a wall with a bunch of shoes on it. Bunch of comedians would take photos in front of that wall. Now it's like, holy shit, like fucking **** was in here the other day, which we can talk about. No, I don't think we can.

Really? Because I really wanted to talk about that Idea that we had you could talk about that but just not the what about a podcast that's Tony Hawk to a tagliatelle Right, so it's tagliatelle. So it's Tony The Hawk to a girl. Yeah, and that to a football player who keeps getting think it's pronounced kicked in the head to a And that to a football player who keeps getting think it's pronounced kicked in the head to a tagli of boa I know that this is another pun Oh, so it's Tony all right the Hawk to a girl and to eat to a whatever guy Yeah, basically like lobotomized. Yeah, football

And they would all be Making or having or thinking about pasta. I don't know one yet Tula from my big big frat Greek wedding. I feel like that's like a hat on a hat. No what you did was that. It is a Friday feeling episode TGIF Last night we had the headgum holiday party and it was way more fun than I thought it was going to be. I'm not saying it was like a 10 out of 10 but compared to the other holiday mixers that we've had in the past Halloween, etc Most people are there because work just ended at 5. That's when the thing starts

They're gone by 6 because everybody wants to go home Mm-hmm last night people were there till like 830 Later Well, I was there till 830 and once I leave the the party goes with me. That actually wasn't true at all. I don't think anyone noticed when you left. The party don't stop since I walked out. That's really good. But you're saying don't stop. I think it does. You guys are low-efficiency gems. I entered at the same time as the cat.

Oh, there was a cat. The cat was sort of the, not even the the B story it became the main plot of the party I would say I don't know I will some of the shine slash sheen Yeah, what could have been a party that was all about me it the cat barely had any Traction well in my spheres of the party that I was Didn't have a habit Yeah, the cat barely came up But the cat was there at the beginning as a kitten this that we found a kitten very small and I'm allergic So I was like I don't need anything to do this guy you were snorting Zyrtec, but everybody thought it was cocaine

It will yeah, but it hits you faster. Yeah, it protects your nose. I was so dry. That's really cool. Yeah Let me ask you guys this Specifically let's ask grace Who does this remind you of Casey right you can't say Casey right Nobody's ever said Casey. I just think it looks like you, not looks, I mean looks like it's crazy, because it's a flag. But I feel like it reminds me of China.

It reminds you of China. It should remind you. This flag reminds you of China. Let me dog walk you guys through this. This reminds me of China. Right? You're saying I'm China. You are China.

So if this reminds me of China, it by extension reminds me of you It's like an SAT question It's the transit of property. Oh, yeah last night at the party you kept showing the Chinese flag I would just because this is all I just remind you of people that they go you or Casey They look at me blankly mostly look at you blankly, and then you go Casey, right? I was like Yeah, I'm pretty sure you know Squarespace had a rep there, and I was like doesn't this remind you of China Yeah, and they said yes, which means Casey they thought we had

Make a wish foundation An employee who we sort of had to hire even though he's not all mentally there I was gonna throw throughout the party, asking people about the Chinese fly. Well, I was grabbing people's wrists and being like, I'm the employee of the moth, and then I would try to eat their shirt. Right.

You know, you're kind of the Tua Taga Lovola of head go. Because of how many times I hit my head in the last calendar year. Exactly, yeah. Multiple concussions, traumatic brain injury, you can't throw a right-handed. Post-traumatic syndrome. You refuse to put the safety thing on top of your helmet. I don't really want to.

The helmet pack helmet. Sorry, now you took it too far. Can I say something? Now that's too far. I don't intend to make you uncomfortable. But if you were a flag, I do see the Isle of Man flag, which is the three legs. Oh.

Like in a sort of... So you're saying he's hung like a horse. No, I'm saying... You said three legs. I'm just seeing... That's he's hung like a horse. No, I'm saying I'm just I'm seeing that's remind you in the legs in a Safe a normal way. What's the flag with the dragon on it? That's the way? Yeah, well, that's a cool flag It is cool a mythical beast on the flag, but you're just an actual beast and I don't mean like beast mode I mean like you're a monster to see okay and to other co-workers of yours you're talking a lot about the NFL in front of somebody from a

Different country. Well, that's the real football. I wanted to get to that basically I wanted to like get into a verbal or physical altercation to say that American football Should be football Your guys's thing should be called like, fucking. Go on. Soccer. Soccer's not actually bad. That is what we call it.

I do think the Brits came up with the term soccer. Oh really? Yeah, it's short for associated football. Oh really? Soccer's short for associated football? I believe so. That's pretty cool It's like the origins like a little slang like me slang. It's like soccer like associate Yeah, it's from none of that makes any sense. That's something I would say but you guys are like a song Like a song? Like the SOC is an association and in soccer

at uni and in soccer. At uni. And do you mind if we do bottom of the week and then we can get to your college story? It is called college by the way. College. I forgot what were we talking about? Billy McFarland. Sorry.

The societies like the clubs you join, we'll call them socks. So like med sock was like all the people that did medicine and that was association to short for that society but I think that was a and then society or excuse us Jeff and then adding uh was like a Is a kind of standard way of like Nickname is and what brings you to LA? This the season of good tidings. It's the most wonderful time of the year. Yeah what brings you to LA? This! The season of good tidings. It's the most wonderful time of the year.

I wanted to be out here. And where do you stay when you're out here? Do you have friends that you can crash with? I have a friend! She's an LA native. But she has now moved to Los Feliz. And you guys don't mind if we do bottom of the week? We'll get back to it.

I'm wondering how you made a friend in LA? grace used to live in LA. You know nothing about Harper How when did you live in LA? I didn't I was here for like Sort of nine months on and off like that's coming for you can come for like 90 days at a time So I was doing like I sort of I feel like I was on your side in your I'm just concentrating on talking to Amir right now. It's really nothing personal. I do want to come back to Bono. And you made a friend during that time.

Yeah. And now it's like, oh, if you're ever in LA, you can just stay with me. Yeah, this is the first time it's happened. We went on holiday to New York together. Well, it's kind of interesting how close the relationship seems to be, just that they would let you stay with them

because I feel like I would never do that. On an air mattress in a studio. Right, which is, by the way, and I don't want you to feel like welcome because it is an imposition Made me feel welcome so No need to worry. I mean when you're there like I don't want to like exit. How many nights do you get to spend there? Yeah, I don't want there to be like an air of safety to it because you are imposing and no matter what they say like Oh, it's no problem. It's a problem. It's a problem Yeah, but it's also what a joy to have a guest host. She's probably by themselves to have me that yeah Actually, she's normally with her boyfriend. She hasn't much spent much right and guess what?

While you're there because you're like a climatized in their personal space the boyfriend where does the boyfriend live? Tarzana. Far out there. Someone lives there. Someone lives in Tarzana. So either her boyfriend lives there or anyone else. They'd just slice burros if he was eating pizza. And that's to bring you back in.

To Bond of the Week, yeah. Thank you. My Bond of the Week is Billy McFarland. Because it's time for a James Cond. He... Bond of the Week yeah. Thank you. My Bond of the Week is Billy McFarland because it's time for a James Conde. He organized the fire festival. Oh yeah. Fuck you guys. I forgot his name. What are your guys bonds a week then? I was gonna say Billy McFarland but for a completely separate reason meaning We just need a guy who's able to organize stuff, but he's not able to that's the issue

Well, he was able to just sort of get something off the ground Which is a lot more than most of us can do but it's also like he'd be acting so he doesn't need to organize anything He just needs to say his lines and shit like he doesn't need to like get that requires some level of organization Organization to like have a script in front of you folded in a folder or something like to have sides in a studio or a trailer And yeah, when you were doing Harold and Kumar and they were like You should get sides. Yeah, would you grab tiny scripts or would you grab like? Patatas bravos do you guys have a bond of the week? I was gonna ask cuz I'm wondering if you had a bunch of like instead of a script No, I always had like an appetizer

Oh I have my sides with me right here, and it's like spinach an artichoke dip It can bring that up because you've done that before I this is why the horror movie I did is never gonna come out because it was a lot of like I had smear smear it on my shirt You spent like a summer in Kentucky shooting this movie. Yeah, it just won't exist. I didn't have the sides I was well fed. Yeah, but I never learned the lines because I was too busy having sides Yeah I'm gonna go with why the energy

That Billy's older brother, that's a good yeah grace. Grace? Do you know any McFarlans? Yeah, I was gonna say Sean Hayes as Jack Moffall and his character from Will and Grace. That's good. Just Jack. It was funny. It was a good physical comedy. Good show.

We're gonna do we did Casey's fears and Casey's fears thanks for the show. Thank you for listening to the show every week I am I consider myself the first listener of this show and that's true because you take the race's impulses Can I sing a rice song? It's a brand new segment. I was going to write a rice song for this, but I didn't have time, so we'll do it on next week's episode, because you're here for two weeks for some godforsaken reason, I want to say. It's the season, she said. That means nothing. I know I say shit that means nothing all the time. Grace has said nothing. You guys are just on her side because you're physically in the same room It's like nice outside, so it's a fun place to spend two weeks in December

Which why did I wear the high pile? LL bean fleece you love pile. I was yeah sweating a lot Grace's impulses right this is a quantitative instead of qualitative segment. How many impulses does grace have mm-hmm? Let's start with Casey This is my first time meeting Grace in person. True. Well, Grace and I took a UCB class together years ago. Is that true? Yep.

Is that what connected you to the show to begin with? No, you got the job independent. What? Yeah. Is that the origin of you working on the Headgun Podcast? Qualified editor? But how did we find you? I applied for a job in December 2021.

You know how hard that is to cold apply and get the shit? So you applied? There was a job available for a producer at Headgum. Cold applied to that job and you got it somehow. Usually it's worth a month to have. You know how many people fucking work here because they either work to college humor or they're just Anya's buddy And then Kay was like half the staff is Anya's friends. That's great. What other shows do you work on? I like Anya

I'm just saying why is this becoming the Anya show? I fear that I really do. And it's always editing. Can we not have two divergent conversations? You diverge the conversation That's true actually and that's gonna take us into our next segment well how many impulses do you have to say how many fucking impulses you have? Spotify raps just dropped yeah right a lot of people listening to this show which is why it hasn't been canceled yet What were your guys's top songs and here's what I want to do well Let's hear what your top songs were top song mine was there she goes by the laws Are you watching the parents rap? I was watching. I've been rewatching Gilmore girls Yeah, I had more to say, but it's really not worth it.

Sorry, jump scare. I was like, oh, Casey. No. My number one most played song, I was in the top 0.005, 0.3 noughts and a five, three zeros and a five. Nobody who's American knows what you're saying. I picked up on what she was saying.

Can you translate, please? Three zeros and a five. Three zeros and a five. Nobody who's American knows what you're saying. I picked up on what she was saying. Can you translate please? Three zeros and a five. Okay. Think of... 0.0005% of listeners worldwide about music in general. I was in the top 0.0005% of listeners of the song Hot to Go. Discovered via this podcast on the 200th episode.

So you learned about it when Jeff parodied it, and then you listened to it so much, you were, of every 200 Spotify listeners of that song, you were number one. How many times did you listen to the song? Yeah, I really like that song. It's, and it's, I don't even listen all the way through a lot of the time.

I really like the first, like- You just gotta log 30 seconds on Spotify and count it as a play. Yeah, so it play. I just want like verse chorus verse chorus. That's not true, the rest of the song is good too. So Hot To Go is your number one song? Yes, and then we had Growing On Me, which is a song by The Darkness. We had Rollercoaster by Blink-182. We had I Believe In A Thing Called Love.

I'd love if we had like a Quartz denographer on this show, because I'm very curious when I asked for your top five. At the beginning you said that you know it's place in your songs. No, I'm not trying to be an asshole, I just was saying. You are. I asked for your top song.

Can I, can I? My top songs. I know you're not trying to be an asshole, but you're being incredibly rude. That's fine if you're interpreting it that way. I'm saying my intention is not to be rude, I'm just being honest. I, you know. Please can I talk about it?

Because the, my consistency of my top artists. Sand. I've had to. Sorry, let's hear it, let's hear it. No, no it's fine. All right, Amir, what was your top song? Your top song. I'm afraid to tell you the top five,

Yes, thank you for calling me by my name. My top song was Big Bad Cadillac by King Lizard. Okay. And yeah, mine was there she goes. This is a segment that I like to call... My top one and two artists for the past three years have been Bling One, Eight Two, and then The Wonder Years. And that's just...

Welcome to Spotify Overlapped. So we're all gonna play our top song at once, which should thereby skirt the copyright infringement on YouTube and be... Sort of be an interesting sonic experiment. Are we all ready? I really like this idea. Let's see, because what if it sounds good yeah yeah here we go this is you let me know when you guys have yours picked up we're just gonna toss them into the mic here

okay hold on hold on okay okay I'm here I don't have Spotify like premiums so I have to click on it and sort of hope that it gets there before six skips usually people Get Spotify premium before they get married. That's what LeBron does yes exactly yes, I'm King James in that regard Yeah, he doesn't pay the premium. That's crazy to me. It's just crazy. That's one of them We just do one of the only subscriptions. I feel like is worth the cash. Yeah, it's still only five bucks a month, right? I don't know how much it is feel bad about how little the artists get paid. Yeah, I do. I'm ready I know you are I'm fucking pissed at this ass pre-roll ready. No I

Did you say what your song was? Was it There She Goes Again? It sounded like... There She Goes.

Yeah. By Len? Who was that by? By The Laws, which I said. I think Len did Steal My Sunshine. You should be very familiar with the phonetic sound The Laws, because I feel like you constantly have a Law-Zge. Why is that your most played song? Because I like the cure. It's so mid. It's like your most played song being

In the Middle by Jimmy Eat World. I think a really funny top song would be like Graduation by Vitamin C. See, I like that song. But your top song, you listen to that the most? Yeah, kind of weird. I do sometimes actually seek that song out. When you get in your car and you start with

There She Goes and That's the Beginning of Your Day, there's no better feeling in Los Angeles. Did that song come out before you were born? I don't know when it came out, but Gilmore Girls came out when I was alive and it was in that, so I'm assuming it was around the same time. I think it was after.

I've never seen Gilmore Gorsh. That's really good. Have you seen Gilmore Girls? Nick Kroll narrated it. Do they play that song a lot on the show? No, it's just in the pilot episode and it's like an iconic scene in television history, I wanna say.

Okay. Okay, okay. All your pleasures are guilty. Really? Yeah. This just in, the Atlantic reports, this was today, so this is breaking news, America has an onion problem.

Yeah. What is it? I got 99 problems and a shallots won, onion. Because they like, are making people sick, right? Well, I didn't read the article. Yeah, I. They like making people sick, right? Well, I didn't read the article. Yeah, I think they're making people sick. What is not though, because they're also testing milk for bird flu.

I'm just like, what's safe to eat knives? That's what my dad tells me to go eat. What's that? Uh, Lionel Messi crowned the MLS is 2024 MVP. No shocker there. I'm wonderinged the MLS's 2024 MVP. No shocker there. I'm wondering who the 2024 Headgum MVP is. Hmm.

Maybe... Maybe... Katie? Yeah, maybe Katie. Because she got the morning after, she got the, you know... Yeah, just constantly over-performing and impressing everybody. Yeah, Variety kind of claimed her as like one of the new leaders in Hollywood or something.

Yeah, she's getting her own publicity as an employee. Yeah, it's large. Rare. It's hard to do that. I feel like I've done it before. I don't think you've ever been written about. What about like with litigation? Will you have the interview?

Oh yeah, the one that Miles kept reading. Yeah, that's tough. That you always write with a guitar because you like to like hop back and forth between music and writing. It's kind of like how I usually drive with one hand on a gun. Interesting.

Just in case. Have you given up on that dream? Just in case what? Like to be a writer and working in Hollywood? I haven't given up. I think others have given up on me does that make sense you're still trying I'm writing a movie that's cool yeah it'd be really funny if I just plagiarized your screen scene one did you guys say lethargy no one did and I

don't think that's how I'd pronounce it that's like what you'd call that's like a LeBron James nickname left. Oh my god Yeah, when he's tired. How do you say it lethargy? I think it's leather. It's lethargy. Yeah, but lethargic. I'm yeah Well, that's the word of the goddamn. Yeah, so that's kind of interesting new novel title, right? While I was in Brooklyn I had this goal to write a novel because that feels very like cosmopolitan to me. Sorry, I'm not even close to them. Basically, the dream hasn't changed even though I live in Los Angeles, right? Nathaniel West, Eve Babbage, Joan Didion all wrote from here. You know, the two dumb, well, you and I would know, I was talking about this to Danny Sellers. It's the thing of like too dumb for New York, too ugly for LA. Everyone's just too dumb for New York too ugly for LA everyone just

What's that I did not say those words to Danny sellers Okay, too ugly for New York too dumb for LA too dumb for New York too ugly for LA is the same But I think most people are just too dumb and ugly for New York and everyone here is fine to bad Here's the novel that I wanna write. It's called From Bangkok to Bangor. And it's the story about a divorced wife's journey to find herself slash wine from Thailand to Maine. So you wanted to write it in Brooklyn and all you came up with was the title and the concept

and then left Brooklyn. No, every week I was in Brooklyn, I was coming up with a new novel idea slash title because I wanted to write a book and all I needed was the perfect name. Got it. Now, because I wasn't able to quite nail it down while I was there, I'm continuing the journey. Yeah. So I think this might be what I might write, which is from Bangkok to Bangor. The story of one divorcee's journey from Thailand to Maine to find herself slash wine. There's a banger in Wales.

Okay, well this is Bangor, not Bangor. Yeah, same. That's just, I said it wrong. I think you probably said it right in the Americanized version. Well, it's probably not banger, because I did OR. Guys, the United Healthcare CEO was fatally shot.

What's, and by the way, the shooter was kind of snatched. Right? I was thinking of suggesting him for bottom of the week What's next? Let's cut out what just happened The United Healthcare CEO is fatally shot in New York and the shooter was kind of snatched What's next the head of marketing at Standard Oil is gonna be sliced by a fucking dime Could be next gonna be sliced by a fucking dime?

Could be next. I thought it was gonna be like. About head come, I thought it was gonna be like. Oh, like something about like Marty getting. I don't think we're large or evil enough a corporation. Yeah, but I thought Jeff was gonna maybe do something like work that into like he's gonna see Marty and then like The pie like this lower version of assassination welcome to Dell or Dell are you guys ready to play sure Dell or what? Dell or Dell so I'm gonna read out quotes. It's like Del Closel either Attributable to Dell Curry or Michael Dell so that's Steph's dad or the CEO of Dell computers.

Are you guys ready? You know, Del Curry and Steph Curry have the same name. Dell Steph Curry is his name? Or Dell. Okay, that's cool. You know that Michael Dell's son almost tried to beat the shit out of me? Yes.

What? What stopped him? Well, he thought I was someone else who had like had sex with his girlfriend or something. But you were nine. Oh, shit. But I was... There's the fucking nine-year-old that fucked my girl.

Whoa, whoa, Brad. Um, alright, here we go. There's... Are you guys ready? Yeah. There's always an opportunity to make a difference. I hope that's Michael Dell Sorry who's Michael Dell?

Jeff you were asked to not play that Why do I have to not I feel like I should do what's fun? That's the next quote There's always an opportunity to make a difference. You say Michael. Michael Dell is the person who started Dell computers? Correct. And then there are guys, Dell Curry?

Yeah. I'll go with that one. Okay. I think, yeah. Michael Dell. Correct! That was Michael Dell. Your teeth look great.

Really? Interesting. Sometimes I only brush once a day, so that actually means a lot. Morning or night? Usually morning, right? Oh, interesting. Because morning it's like you want to be fresh.

I feel like night is the most important brush. Yeah, because that's the day of food still in there. Morning it's like I haven't eaten since I brushed last. It's more a breath situation. Yeah, no, I agree. I just, I like to be fresh when I enter my day, and then by the end of the day, I'm so exhausted, that I just am like, I don't want to-

You want to have to stew while you're in bed. That's when the cavities happen, when the food between your teeth have an entire night of darkness. Well, my cavities are just evidence of my depravities. Right? Nice. Eminem's mom died today speaking of having awesome lyrics

That's an awfully hot coffee pot You have the perspicacity of a young butch Cassidy, that's really good. Thank you There's fuck you Debbie Was that him talking to the what's what he says yeah cookies woman yeah there's so much that can influence kids and young adults now you just have to raise them the best you can and hope they make the right decisions Del Curry Del Curry all right don't be afraid to try something new Michael I bet Dels also said it yeah but it seems like more of a Michael quote

That's gonna be Wardell. Oh you were on it. If you're happy, that's probably the most important thing. Oh Sounds like me, but I'll say Michael Dell Michael Dell I'll take Dale Curry again. Incorrect to Grace, correct to China and Blumenfeld. That was Michael. Do you think this is a fun segment? I mean you guys can like talk amongst yourselves while we do it it's just something to give us direction and structure. Do you still work on the episodes that you're in? Yeah of course course. So you'll take the footage?

You think it's too much for her to do both? Oh, just like now that you're here, it might be a different situation. No, no. And do you do audio only or you also edit the video? I also edit the video. Wow. Life can only be understood backwards. You do both together and just export audio for audio?

No, I do the audio first in audition and then then export that and then just sort that into the video. You married into picture, we all got it. Alright, life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. Jeff does like the assembly edit. So when I say, Grace cut that out, it's actually a fallacy and a farce because I cut it out. Do you ever cut it out when he says to cut it out or do you always keep that part in? Do you ever cut it out when it comes to your sour attitude? No, I respect Jeff and what he's building. That's crazy. When he says to cut it out or do you always keep that part in do you ever cut it out when it comes to your? Sour attitude no I

Respect Jeff and what he's building so crazy. Yeah, I'm also linking. I feel like you're almost selling me short It's not for me to decide. I feel like last night at the party. I was like Doing numbers in a way you were talking to mostly I was like I was being a wallflower to let people come to me I saw you talking to Nick on his dude. Yeah, I love Nick. You guys are both like kind of long-haired children around Nick You're you're more of a brown Jordan. I thought I think that's cool. We did talk to somebody who's kind of important About Brown Jordan. I think that was Nick Have I talked to?

Anya about the Nick you Are you talking to Nick? I wonder what he thought. Have I talked to Anya about me talking to Nick? Yeah, like, hey, did you talk to Nick about what I sounded like and how that was for me? You want me to ask Anya what Nick thought about how I sounded? Yeah.

Not what I was saying. Yeah. Just the general impression of how I speak. The tone of your voice. There's no way that's interesting. Is Anya here? No, she's looking for him today. All right life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards. That's Benjamin Button But kind of correct actually from Grace that one was a trick Question slash quote that was Sorin Kierkegaard Danish Theophist

Theophist. Theophist. The British office? British theophist. Here we go. Regrets are born of paths not taken. Michael. If you play me the sound that's like... De-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de.

I'll do you a new segment, just off the cuff. Oh, that's pretty interesting. Uh, that was Michael. Correct, China. Thank you. I have six grandchildren. That is... That's Del Curry. Del Curry, but he probably didn't say that.

It is Del Curry and he said it. Celebrate for a nanosecond. Del Curry. Are you interested in the tall that Yanis is having a fourth baby? His wife's pregnant again. Fourth? Yeah, in like five years. Guys, there's only one quote. Can we just power through them? He comes from a big family and he's got the money to support it. Grace. What? Sorry.

I'm gonna call Any you ask about that okay? Can we just get this last quote out or are you gonna call her in the middle of the segment and then we'll have one More quote after the call and then I'll move on to the next segment that feels disorganized and weird Okay, call I guess finish the segment good to see you guys That's the delivery Del or Dell Gonna go with Del. Which one? The Dell computer?

Is it Curry or Michael? Del Curry. Said good to see you guys? Yeah, like on a broadcast. What's the context of that quote? He was on a podcast and it was the first thing he said when they introduced him. Because I ran out of brainy quote, Del Curry quotes quotes because he hasn't said much of note. Yeah seems like Amir are you phoning phoning a fiend?

Yeah, it keeps prompting it in slack. Why don't you ever try new shit with your like style like vis-a-vis? Pants instead of shorts. Yeah, like why don't you do like some corduroys or like maybe do like grow out your hair a little Don't have corduroys. That's what I'm saying I'm saying try something new with your style instead of because I feel like you're a little bit stuck in 2017 Jeff, do you trim your hair? I do once a year How often do you shampoo Every time I well not every time I shower so twice a week I Shower every day or mostly yeah, but I only wash the hair twice a week. Yeah, I do

Mondays and Fridays yeah, and you don't you don't brush only when it's wet. Oh well. I got like curly wavy hair So I you don't you don't put a brush through that Amir are you getting on the phone? curly wavy hair so I You don't you don't put a brush through that I'm here Are you getting on the phone or you're just fucking make placing sports bests on an off-shore trying to make you? Prompting it in slack instead of do one of you guys have Yeah, you don't have on his phone number I do but it's like okay calling her in slack But it's not actually calling her in slack if I called on it

She would just assume something was wrong well I asked her if she was available if she's something's wrong though She'll pick up just audio sure this sucks Why? FaceTime here we go and then just speak her up to the well you told okay But see how she reacts when she thinks it's me She's not gonna pick up It's me though. It could be an emergency

What if it's like Jeff was shot? She'd celebrate. Hello. Hey, Anya. You're on the podcast. Don't say anything illegal Okay, I'll do my best Jeff was talking to Nick a lot last night. I feel like it was a normal amount. Did you ever hear about that conversation and how it went from Nick's side? Because Jeff thought it went well. I'm curious if that was the sort of consensus.

I wanted to know I didn't go out of my way to ask. This is Amir being curious. Yeah. So Nick was asleep by the time I came home last night but like he was tired from you didn't get a chance to ask because I'm sorry yeah don't really nice like I asked him he had fun and he said sort of sort of like mention sort of or sorted because I feel like we kind of sorted through that much yeah like yeah I'd almost rather have been a negative experience that about him that much. Yeah. Like, you know what I mean? I'd almost rather have been a negative experience

because I would have made some kind of impression. I'm worried he didn't even think much about me. But Nick is just basically tired and bored. To Nick, am I sort of like a stronghold to talk to at a party or am I like a wisp and a win? I can, but he's talking exactly at the same time as you. Yeah, he does that a lot.

Overlapping dialogue in a way. This is kind of, I went with Nick, by the way. Exactly the same time as you yeah, yeah does that a lot overlapping dialogue Yeah, what with Nick by the way because I'm asking this question I go so like this is how I was trying to do it so I'd like hey Nick like this is what I'm worried about How often do you shampoo your hair? That's it. Yeah, that's what I was I was I was like trying to talk to some other people At the same time, but like what I remember was that Jeff said that Jeff is kind of like the brown Nick I was gonna say the proud man. Yeah supposed to react to that right? He didn't know what to say to them, but I feel like he was reacting with a little bit of Weary who are you talking to Anya or Amir both at once as it's possible Yeah, so it seems like the conversation. Why does she sound so tired of this conversation?

So it seems like the conversation. Can I ask why does she sound so tired of this conversation? Don't ask that of a woman. Thank you, Grace. You're welcome. Wish you were here. How's the episode going so far, by the way? Great, we called you. We called you, yeah.

So that's kind of when a ship goes down on you. Wait, wait, wait. Ask her how many impulses Grace has to her. Oh, we were playing Grace's impulses, Casey's coins and I guess Jeff was wondering how many impulses you think Grace has? Nailed it. How many impulses she has? I think many. I think like she's a person that's done like improv.

She's also like, she's good at her job that she does with us. So like her impulse is like, you know, she's kind of like really easy for her to do things well kind of very quickly. Yeah. This is how the segment could have gone earlier. If you guys had just given me a straight fucking. Yeah, that's good. Can you give us a number Anya?

Just a number. Oh, like 20 to 25. Wow. Wow. You're way off, I am sorry. The answer was seven. The answer was seven. Yeah, we counted them. Yeah

That's fair that's good thanks for answering and helping us out a little bit Just now playing music so I think okay on and Anya can stand for this if she wants I'll talk to you guys later. Anya call of spy. Thank you. Bye Guys a lot of movies TV and brands are doing immersive Marketing experiences. Yeah, right I'm not sure if we'll get an LA live show. I'm really pushing for that But maybe at the very least we could do a pop-up of some kind In-kind where it's an immersive experience where people get to step into

You know, can I pitch my idea? Yeah rice karaoke? That's actually really good in a way. That's not funny. Just honestly impressive So we get like a karaoke bar private room and people can join us. Yeah, but they'll be like a bank of pre-written rice songs. I think you could incorporate that into like a house party. So it's like the Headgum podcast. More like an episode. I guess it would be a lot.

The Headgum podcast house party. Yeah. That's pretty good. A house party, yeah. Do you have a house? Yeah. We could do it there. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty Do you have a house yeah We could do it there it's uh What's your address? I mean, I'm obviously not gonna say and if I do I'm gonna shut down like

I don't know where you're going with this So like it could be a live show in a backyard But then afterwards it's just kind of a party and we don't have to hang around I was at all what I was thinking well I'm just saying they could afterwards at the party there could be rice parody karaoke And then there could also be Brown Jordan furniture I was thinking like like a headgum podcast activation Sort of thing kind of like how they do it like comic-con or something. No you're getting it, but it's like kind of like how they do it like Comic-Con or something. No, you're getting it. But it's like people can come in

and do the Headgun Podcast experience and it is kind of essentially like an escape room. And they get locked in a room with you. Okay. An escape from Jeff room. Yeah. Well, now I'm starting to figure out a way out of there. As they leave death.

What's that? They leave death. Because of the sounds I play. Yes. Death. Because of the sounds I play. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I cannot stress enough how loud the...

Is it the Dukes of Hazartorn? Yeah, and also the metal hitting the concrete in a giant warehouse. Do you keep it high so that the audience can experience the pain? No, no, no. I protect them. That's nice. I don't know what you're saying. I feel like I play it at a good volume to have. And we can also just keep brainstorming here, because I really want to nail down something we could actually practically do. Maybe we just like do a collab with Podcasts But Outside.

So we do the Hiccup Podcasts But Outside. You want to poison another show. It should be contained entirely within this show. Why don't we just do this show on the beach? Because it's loud and illegal. It's not illegal. You just want to do their bit Well if Andrew comes on the show it's sometimes fun to do people's show like we do Dregman's when Amir's on yeah

Sometimes well you and do this show is a funny. He's a good guy, and he's a team player And he's probably down to do it. He was very nice talking him last night. He greeted me warm with warmth Do you think I'm icicle? You're right icicle. No you were Seemed very like willing to talk to people at the party and you're kind of cordial to a fault, but I drink cordials With salt yeah, see that's what I'm talking about polite the way that I talk about salting a ram and then pouring an Armaniac. I have the weirdest orders.

Yeah, I bet. We haven't done like a company lunch or dinner somewhere in a while. It'd be fun to do musos. Every Thursday we have. Yeah, we do company lunch all the time. Every Thursday. No, you guys order lunch in and everybody eats like a hermit

at opposite sides of the office. That's why I don't come in. No, we all eat together. I was wondering. You don't come in because we don't tell you about it. That's true. I was wondering if we do Musso and Frank's. For lunch?

For a dinner, like a holiday dinner. I've never been. We sort of did our holiday thing. I like Musso and Frank's. It's a good amb. I'm beyond an atmosphere It's like the oldest steakhouse in Los Angeles. It's a icon yeah, I mean Frank Sinatra here yeah

Rose's bookshop was next door so all of them Do you say sandy rose? I also sandy rose is a really good name. This is Stanley Rose though. He was a bookseller. He published West and Bukowski and people. See, people think I'm an idiot. I actually do know some. Yeah, you've read all the male books. I, yeah. My friend. You've read all the Diddy and.

All the male books and you wanna write a book about women. Ha ha ha. Just one woman. She's divorced. Yeah, and she has a journey from Thailand to Maine. It could go in reverse order. I haven't quite cracked that yet, but yeah, it is from one to the other. How far is it to fly to Thailand from here?

Like I guess 13 hours. I was gonna say, yeah. 13 hours? What's that? Los Angeles to Bangkok, Bangkok to Los Angeles, 13 hours? The Secrets of Benghazi? It's Kanye West. Jesus.

Benghazi? He's your Jesus? Jesus. Jesus Christ. I swear to God. It's loud. What's that? And then...

Are you just pressing all the buttons? I swear to God. Loud. Are you just pressing all the buttons? My kid sat on my lap and watched the first lap with me. Which is always fun because if there's gonna be any crashing, it's a good lap. He didn't even realize he was circling a pun there. My kid sat on my lap as I watched the first lap. Yeah. Circling a pun. I feel like putting out this show every week is Herculane.

What can I do to help? I'm here, pal. You're helping great. It's this. It's the energy all came here today Building borderline weekend just for this yes, I might have got a part but this is how it's going Appreciate that you guys frame it as some kind of favor to me Really looking to have fun. That was my goal Fucking performance and we'd get to we get to bring joy to others Yeah, I like that when we didn't release something to enjoy. Yeah, I like that. When we didn't release something two weeks ago. I would love to bring joy to others,

but you make it so difficult. It's Sisyphusian in nature, but once we get there, it's I think one of the greatest shows on the network. When we don't hit. On the network? I don't know why people listen to this. I think it's Exploration Live, we're here to help, and then this. I really feel that way when it's good when

it's bad it shouldn't even be put out I think it's good 12 times out of the year and how's today going this one's like a B oh that's pretty good I think was pretty good though there's like once a month we have an episode that hits a lot last week felt bad to me but I guess that's good and then good episodes are bad no last week we were firing on, but I guess that's good and then good episodes are bad No last week. We were firing on all cylinders. I think which one was last week You haven't listened to it because it came out today was I on it you weren't on it You don't listen to one which is crazy. You should listen to the ones you're not on and then the ones you're on you're doing

I guess I listen to every day at work saying yeah last night. I forget who the lawyer What's his name Ryan Adams Ryan Morrison? Yeah, Ryan Morrissey Morrison what you said yeah, yeah How do you guys think maybe we should do it enough you know what Maybe in January we do another audit. It's been three years you guys are insinuating that the fucking episodes suck I think they're good as hell. I didn't say that the episodes suck. I'm saying this one sucks I'm wondering I J I'm this close to starting my own network and bringing this show with me. There's no way you can run a network That's really cool. Really? I don't like that. You don't like it. No, okay

You should do a who's coming with me Jerry Maguire style It's actually funny sketch ideas. I try to start my own podcast network. You know sometimes the ideas that you know will be funny don't get laughs in the room. Like that one. Yeah. I guess we'll just take it out with plugs and what you guys are looking forward to. You guys coming to my party tonight? Yeah. I know you are. Casey? Yeah probably Well, you said you wanted to hit on the youngest women you possibly could. Absolutely didn't say that. Okay. Well, we're not that different in age. You're 32? We don't need to talk about my age. I'll bleep it, but I'm curious. I'm f***ed. Oh, cool. Are you really? Yeah. How old do you think I am?

Don't ask that. You don't want to think I'm as old that you don't I think I know how old you are let's hear it He's gonna cry 42 Wow, you know the salt and pepper is fading your birthday is January 18th. That's correct Good on you. Same as Sasha. I'm sorry Michelle Obama. I think that's cool Michelle is the night. Well that were the same week Yeah, I love I know a lot of birthdays. What's your birthday? December 18th. Oh, one month before mine.

Yeah, that's how I remember yours. I feel like we're closer to Grace's birthday than your birthday at this point. There's a one month period that's all of our birthdays. I think it actually might be the directly. And it's coming out. Do you like your birthday? Yeah. That's two.

January 18th feels fresh. No, we're closer to mine. Yeah. Okay. It's not really my birthday though. It's just kind of a hang at a bar. It'll be fun if everybody can. I'm worried about parking wise. Where do you even park in K-Town?

That's my big problem. Don't park, just Uber. You can take a $30 Uber there, a $30 Uber home. $60. Just to get a drink with you. A Friday night Uber in Los Angeles. That sounds fun. Well, you don't want a cheese corn and a skillet.

I do like the food at a Korean bar. Can we say where it is? Because it's not necessarily. It'll have passed. It's the Prince in K-Town. And you will have passed. Have you ever been to that K-Town bar? It's like a-

Oh yeah, HMS Bounty. No, it has a mural of Kim Jong Un on the side. It's a Kim Jong Un bar, but that's not what it's like oh yeah HMS bounty no it has a it as a mural of Kim Jong-un on the side it's a Kim Jong-un bar but that's not what it's called no anyway it has good cheese corn like you said but the prince has good cheese corn and I like the prince I don't know can I eat cheese corn at a party with a bunch of 27 year olds and then your uncle's in the corner sort of eating cheese out of a cast iron and it's like why is he talking to anybody because he's 41 and he's just here to eat corn and it cost him $65 to uber there and back. I don't care how much you spend as long as you come or not. I mean, sorry, how old are you? 41.

Oh, but I will be 40. You're what? You're what? If you went outside to the yard and you dug up a piece of dirt and you compared it with you and you carbon dated it, you'd be thrice as old as that shit. I think everyone looks great. You're mulch. Am I aging?

You're mulch, man. We're aging well in here. You're soil to me. You're old as dirt. That was a Hidgum Original.
