This is a HeadGum Original. We'll see you next time. I'm sorry. I went to the moped store, said, fuck it.
Salesman's like, what up?
What's your budget?
And I'm like, honestly, I don't know nothing about mopeds.
He said, I got the one for you.
Follow me.
Ooh, it's too real.
Chromed out mirror, I don't need a windshield. Banana seat, I got the one for you. Follow me. It's too real. I don't need a windshield.
Banana seat, a canopy on two wheels.
800 cash, that's a hell of a deal. I'm headed
downtown. Cruising through the alley.
Tiptoeing in the street like
ballet. Pulled up, moped to the
ballet. White walls on the wheels
like mayonnaise. My crew
is ill, and all we need is
two good wings. Got cash in the tank.
Cash in the bank.
And a bad little mama with her ass in my face.
I'ma lick that.
Stick that.
Break her up.
Kick ass.
Snuggle in backstage.
You don't need a wristband.
Dope.
Fuck a bus pass.
You got a moped, man.
She got 1988 Mariah Carey hair.
Very rare.
Mom jeans on her derriere.
Throwing up the west side as we tear in the air.
Stop by a pipe place, throwing fish to a fire.
Downtown.
Downtown.
Downtown.
Downtown.
She has her arms around your waist
You're the balance that will keep her safe
Downtime
Have you ever felt the warm embrace?
Downtime
I've never seen between your legs
Downtime downtown
you don't wanna be
far
far on the streets
but
better follow me
to a
downtown
what you see
is what you get
girl
don't ever forget
girl
ain't seen nothing yet
until you're
downtown
and your podcast History in the Making
Gramercy Theater
New York
Shitty?
That was all I had
I spent $275 on that
Three days
Fourteen hours
But I can't do it all by myself, can I? on that. Three days. 14 hours.
But I can't do it all by myself, can I?
That was easy.
That was easy.
Are you guys ready for some chaos?
Who do you think is the furthest person
that traveled to be here tonight?
Oh, Sabrina!
Oh, my God, you came from Florida.
Happy that you're here.
Sorry.
I brought some friends.
You ready?
I picked these intro songs specific for the people.
Let's give it up for Amir Shmuel Blumenfeld! You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You look and you smile And you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You can't talk to life
You cut the back down
You really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Thanks.
Yeah.
Bad song, but I appreciate the warm entrance
I would actually appreciate it
If the energy got a little more poison tonight
And we'll get there
Yeah
Worse than you had a bad day
As intro music
Retroactively cursing the night
In a way Yeah In a way.
Yeah.
In a way.
Yes.
It's also a very mellow song.
I had to walk out to that and like mid fist bump it felt wrong.
Yes.
Right.
Right.
Yes.
We agree.
You think it's going to be as bad as I do.
So we are on the same page.
Major key alert.
Bored people bore people.
Right?
Sure, I guess.
What about the other fucking people, man?
I don't like this energy.
Let's bring in our next guest.
All right, give it up for Jacob Pencooper Herway!
I've been married a long time ago. Where did you come from? Where did you go?
I've been married a long time ago.
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
Cotton Eye Joe.
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from?
Cotton Eye Joe.
Here we go.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I resent that you didn't get up to greet me.
I figured if I keep doing that,
it's going to be 20 minutes of intros.
That's my fear.
Cool.
No, it was rude.
It was weird to be the second guy.
Is this for Jeff or for me? Yeah, he asked me to bring out his drink,
and he didn't even stand up to take it from me.
He just played Cotton Eye Joe
and expected me to know the dance,
which thankfully I did.
You didn't track me.
You were practicing it.
We didn't talk about that.
Yeah, yeah.
And let's get our last guest
for the first segment,
Marika Brownlee,
the birthday girl!
You don't call me daddy
You don't call me baby
That's how you greet a guest.
Oh, that's nice.
But call her lady That's how you greet a guest. That's nice. Let's get this shit over with.
The goat.
What?
So negative.
Fucking no live show for two years.
You say, let's get it over with.
We shot the video this week.
I've been in New York since last Friday.
Red eye.
It shouldn't have taken you that long to shoot an MOS video. I've been in New York since last Friday, red eye. It shouldn't have taken you that long
to shoot an MOS video.
I'm sorry. Also, you didn't have to take
a red eye. You came here a week early.
A red eye is what
important people in a rush have to
do. You have all
the time in the world. You could have left
at noon, four,
eight. Nobody cares for you
there or here.
What are we all doing?
God damn.
Why do you listen to this show?
We sold out the Gramercy,
I think.
Almost. We did. Almost.
My God. Pretty good, yeah. Well, I guess we should just wax. Almost. Yeah. Almost. My God.
Pretty good, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I guess we should just wax.
No.
No way.
You have to have prepared something.
You said you were worried the intros would go too long.
You said, I'm going to cut the songs off early.
I'm worried the intros will go too long.
We have segments, but we have to fill time.
Sure.
By the way,
seeing your soundboard
is fucking perverted
now that I can see it.
Yeah.
There's no organization to it.
No, yeah.
And you're fast with it, too.
Well, because I've memorized it,
you know?
Give us a that was easy.
That was easy.
If you guys could see
how many sounds are on the board,
it would be really impressive.
There's too many.
And I don't use half of them because some of them are bad.
Yeah.
Damn, Daniel.
Back at it again with the white van.
You use that one a lot.
Yeah, I know.
You have like 80.
You use four.
It should be a lot.
At least put the ones you use a lot on one line.
Yeah, you're scanning.
It's like third row from the left is damn Daniel.
They're also just like all different colors for no reason.
Well, it's like synesthesia, right?
So for Troll-O-Lo, I was like, that's kind of like a light brown.
You know what I mean?
So for the show.
Sorry.
I was on the board.
I didn't know Gramercy was under a flight path.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, Manhattan, right?
Cheers.
Let's get into this shit with everyone's Bonds of the Week.
God damn it.
Once a week till the next James Bond is cast,
we're all going to pick a Bond.
I really didn't prepare for that.
Really?
Yeah.
No, everyone else can go first.
I've told everyone nothing.
The only people that know the segments are people that aren't here tonight.
Right.
Right.
Right.
Yes.
Yeah.
Bond's of the week.
Yeah.
Fucking who cares?
Wesley Snipes.
They have to be British.
I don't listen to the fucking show.
Wesley Snipes' cousin,
Leslie Snipes,
who's from...
Cardiff.
That's right, Cardiff.
Let's do Ralph Fiennes.
So, M.
What's that?
The current M.
What?
In Bond.
I haven't seen James Bond
in probably 10 years.
It's clear.
Yeah, from like 15 years old.
No, I thought it was
Judi Dench.
Spoiler alert,
she died.
Ferris cut all of this out.
Yeah, keep looking, man.
What's the ejector button?
This show isn't set up to be a live show
because so much of it... It's not set up to be a
recorded show either.
It's mostly
awkward silence. Let's get the energy up.
Can we all agree one thing?
I'll only ask you this and then a couple other things.
We all stand up and we shake it out.
Now?
How long are we into this?
Do we have a timer, Mike?
It's so bad that that is going to cause the audience to applaud.
Good, they reset.
I think let's get into our first segment.
Are you guys ready?
Here we go.
Welcome to ham or spam?
No No fucking way
What do you mean?
Is this why you prepared?
Yeah
So the game
You haven't even heard the rules yet
Don't be mad already
I know the rules
Then why don't you explain it, mister?
You're gonna show us photos
We're gonna guess if it's ham or spam
We're playing for cash, right?
Alright, lucky guess $100 for every right us photos, we're going to guess if it's ham or spam. We're playing for cash, right? All right.
Lucky guess.
$100 for every right, $100 we owe you
for every wrong. Is that about right?
Very good.
Thank you.
You're oddly good at keeping
track of that shit.
Like, yeah, like
eight minutes in, you're like, all right, Amir's down $600
and Rekha's up $900.
And it's always accurate.
I don't like that about you.
Let's put it to the test right here.
No buzzing in, just yell out the answer.
Number one.
Ham.
It's ham.
I mean, yeah.
I thought it would be a little harder than that.
Spam is going to be a little creasier, fam.
Jake is in the lead with 100.
He did edgy out Marika by one.
Thank you. Here we go. Number two.
You want it?
You know what it is. It's creasy as hell.
It looks like pancakes. That's spam.
Alright, Hurwitz is pulling ahead,
cleaning house. That is absolutely spam.
I was thrown off by the slices.
Well, that should be the dead giveaway that it's spam.
Here we go. It gets harder.
It gets harder. Ham.
Really? Really?
That's so pixelated.
You couldn't find a large photo of either?
It's zoomed in for sure.
Yeah.
You're looking for a sound.
What are you going to play?
It was ham.
She said ham.
No, it was spam I meant.
It doesn't fucking matter.
It's all content. We have to put out
a fucking episode next week. So here we are.
Mike's recording. We got Marika
Brownlee on the sax. We got Mike Comite
on the fact.
What do we think?
Is that a different photo?
Is it not?
I saw the label
and it's ham.
Fine, here.
That looks like
part of your body.
I don't want to look anymore.
Ham.
Yeah, I think that's ham
as well.
That's correct.
That was ham.
Marika Brownlee has $200
or $100.
Sorry, I'm getting
ahead of myself.
Jake has $200.
Here we go.
I love that the door is open
We can see that one's spam
Because the label kind of showed up
I named it so that I could make sure
$300 to me
Alright, fine
This is so fucked
I'm not even getting paid for this
Alright, here we go
I think that's spam as well
Correct, $400.
I thought that was the same photo.
By the way, you're a CEO,
and I know that you have a Patreon
that's really successful for an ad pod.
You don't need the money.
I'm not a CEO.
It's Marika's birthday today.
Happy birthday, by the way.
Thank you.
Like, don't let her win,
but don't be an asshole.
I'm gonna buy her something nice
with my $400.
You're gonna buy her spam
with your $400.
All right, this might be the last one. I hope. I'm actually impressed. nice with my $400. You're going to buy her spam with your $400. Alright.
This might be the last one. I hope.
I'm actually impressed.
Ham or spam? Ham. Really?
You have to
look to make sure. Correct!
$200. Let's see if Marika can get it
on this last one. This one's triple or nothing.
Here we go.
That looks like Mars.
Spam.
That's correct.
Very nice.
So you win with $500.
Thank you.
I'll wait for it.
I think it might be more.
You said it was triple or nothing.
It's triple or nothing.
It's not 200.
It's triple 300.
I get that.
I keep track.
Somebody at Venmo is going to be so weirded out looking at your history.
Like this guy sends thousands of dollars and then gets it back within an hour to a day.
What's the scam there?
What's the spam there, actually?
I'm just going to make sure that everybody knows.
Nice, yeah.
Thanks.
Can you just confirm that this is real?
Confirm that that's Marika's name?
Yeah, 500.
I got it.
No reaction.
Thanks, Dad.
I do Venmo people.
Yeah, unfortunately.
The only person who wasn't going to send money back
was Caleb Heron, and I had to beg him.
How fucked is that?
I'm not going to grovel.
It sounds like you did.
You said I had to beg him.
Then you said I'm not going to grovel.
Jake, I will eat your ass.
All right.
I should have started a timer, because I don't know how long the show's going to go.
There's a clock right there.
And there it is.
So we've been going for 15 minutes.
We have five minutes to fill, or we can move on.
What do you guys want to do?
I don't know, man.
That's like an internal process that you should go through as a host.
That's not a question that you ask out loud into a microphone.
Very good.
Yeah.
I went through Bond of the Week to get to this segment,
and now you're like, what should we do?
We could go back to Bond of the Week.
Yeah, we did gloss over that.
I said Ray Fiennes, which I guess was a spoiler.
What about Ranulf Fiennes, the explorer who circumnavigated the globe in 2012,
and I read his book.
Is he British?
Hmm?
Yes, he's British.
The one rule you had?
Yeah.
No, he is British.
That's good.
Let's move on.
Sorry, I was just joking.
I thought it would be funny.
Daddy, chill.
That was quick.
That was quick. I think we should move on to our next segment
Sure
Why are you asking us?
You told us that you would
Everybody
Alright
For this next segment
We're going to need Jake and Marika
Out of here
Which I thought I would have put on the soundboard
But didn't have time
So you want us to just get up and leave?
Why don't you get up and leave, and if you
could go find...
Yeah.
One of you knows, the other doesn't.
I want to keep it a surprise.
And you know who to get?
Alright, thank you. Let's give it up. They'll be back.
They'll be back.
Do they know who to get?
Yes, they're right there.
I see them.
Let's get the boys.
You're going to have to say their name, man.
They don't know because you didn't tell them.
No, let's get... Yeah, they know.
Yeah, Jake's seeing them.
Here we go.
Please welcome Danny sellers Everybody, everybody, let's get into it.
Get stoned.
I'm all started.
I'm all started.
Get started.
Let's get it started.
Ah!
Let's get it started.
All right.
This is so, it's the boys.
It's the boys of HeadGum.
Amen, brother.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
I don't work there.
Yeah, well, you're sort of canon.
Yeah, I'm lore.
Yeah, lore.
I come hang out, and I, like, drink the Spindrift.
Yeah, and the Kool-Aid.
Yeah.
We had a company retreat.
I brought you guys here for a very special reason.
I'm really excited about it.
Are you guys ready to play a game?
Spammer ham.
Here we go.
Welcome to...
Wow.
They love it.
This is Jeopardy!
So this is Jeopardy! New York City Edition.
So every category you see
is related to
the Big Apple.
I was really worried it was going to keep going.
So our categories are
Captain Sully,
All Things Rockefeller,
Billy Joel's Drafts,
Fair,
and Midtown Hidden Gems.
Oh, I have to add a team.
Now?
Ferris, cut this out.
Oh my god.
All right, here we go.
Are you guys ready?
This is for actual cash.
Every number you see on the board, it's winner takes all, but that is an amount of money that you could win go. Are you guys ready? This is for actual cash. Every number you see on the board,
it's winner takes all,
but that is an amount of money
that you could win tonight.
Are you guys ready?
How do we say,
there's a button like,
yeah, you could just say buzz.
Or no,
let's put something New York.
Say Yanks.
I don't want to play then.
What?
I'm not going to buzz in for that.
That's the bar?
Yeah.
You've done so much worse shit on this show.
I'll say Mets.
Alright, so we've had some Mets.
I shouldn't touch New York sports.
Just say Mets or Yanks.
Get the fuck out of the way.
I'm walking over here.
That's a buzzing N word
He's never played a game
Alright
Let's start off with the guest of honor
Danny Sellers
You control the board
Let's go with my dog
Sully for $200
Captain Sully for
Are you sure?
No 2009 Sully for $200. Captain Sully for... Are you sure? No.
Alright, Captain Sully for $200.
2009.
Mets?
Without fail, not even skipping a beat,
Johnny goes, Mets, and smiles so earnestly.
Yes, Johnny. I feel like that's the year
that movie that he was in released. Well, he wasn't in it. It was Tom Hanks.
Is that right?
I also
didn't answer his question.
That was wrong.
I didn't know there was a buzzer and there's an etiquette.
I think it's
the year. What is the year that it happened?
It's so close.
That's so close.
Anybody?
Those were my two,
only two guesses. Everybody
else is taking a complete
shot in the dark.
Here we go. The correct answer was
what year did Sully
turn 58?
Nice.
I was about to say that, actually.
That was, yeah.
Only one guess per round, obviously, though.
So, for some reason, Johnny Villa controls the board.
You're clicking on a button that's a space bar.
Instead of using the space bar, right.
I think he could just use the space bar.
Well, it's hard, you know, because I have this one monitor here.
It's connected to that.
This isn't even my laptop.
It's the biggest button.
Yeah.
All right.
Johnny Villa controls the board. I'll do fair for the biggest button. Yeah. All right. Johnny Villa controls the board.
I'll do fair for 200.
Really?
All right.
I think I'm ready.
Fair for 200.
Oh, this is perfect.
A burger joint Johnny wouldn't dare step foot in.
Met.
Is Johnny?
Yes.
Oh.
Danny.
Shake Shack.
I want to give it to you.
That's incorrect.
Yanks.
Yes, George.
Is it something like In-N-Out because Johnny doesn't live on the West Coast?
You know what? That's funnier, so I'll give you the cash for it, but that's not it.
I've definitely never opened up to you about the burger joints I go to.
Okay.
Is it a burger joint called the Burger Joint?
Wait, holy shit.
I actually think it is.
I'll still give that to him here.
Where is Burgers by Honest Chops
in the village?
No, that's not what I said.
Do we have any NYU students here?
Do you guys ever go to Burgers by Honest Chops?
Cool. Is that a Chops? Cool.
Is that a real place?
No.
Weirdly, we got two winners
that round.
Either of which got it right.
You control the board.
I'm trying to do it without looking
because my neck is starting to hurt.
There's been a lot of turning this way.
Yeah, Midtown's Gems, I think,
is one of them for 100.
Okay, here we go.
Midtown Hidden Gems.
A secret roundabout.
Pull out my Google Maps.
Can we have like a hint?
Is this like a street
or an intersection or something?
Your hint is it's pretty awesome.
Not a word.
That's not a word.
It's pretty awesome.
Oh, okay.
I'll go Yanks and Columbus Circle.
Holy shit.
Absolutely correct.
See, it's because you lived here for so long.
Yeah, I don't even live here.
It's because I think you don't know what secret means.
All right.
And again, you can't just touch that space bar.
Let's go hidden gems,
which I'm starting to think are not hidden at all.
I will say pre-fucking clue,
Yanks Empire State Building.
Incorrect.
Fuck!
Yeah.
No, because that's the tallest building, almost.
Yeah.
It was the tallest building when I was young.
And Columbus Circle is a huge circle.
All right, let's see the 200.
200, yeah.
200, here we go.
Midtown Hidden Gems.
A museum worth seeking out,
if you can find it.
Yanks.
Yes, George.
Is the MoMA in Midtown?
Correct!
I don't spend a lot of time here.
It is,
not kind of neck and neck,
but George is cleaning house.
I'm sorry to say.
Well, it's because
I was bitter that you said
Danny was the guest of honor.
And we glossed over it.
Sheesh!
Sorry.
No, it's fine.
You control the board
if it's any consolation.
No, it is.
I'll take Billy Joel's drafts for 300.
Billy Joel's drafts for 300.
A tweet Billy didn't end up sending.
Is this the clue for all of them?
No.
It should have been.
Again, George is punching up Jeopardy.
He's probably touring in Chicago, and he's probably like
touring in Chicago
and he was gonna be like
I'm in a Chicago
state of mind
come see me at the Bean
November 4th
holy shit
this was two years ago
or last year
and so the show
got cancelled for COVID
okay here's the thing
you guys have to get
your answers in
because I forgot
what I wrote
Uptown Squirrel and And it's a picture.
Okay.
Squirrel, yeah.
Wait, can I change my answer? Sorry.
Yes, you can.
I'm so sorry for steamrolling you right now.
You say your thing. I'm so rude.
No, you go. I feel like...
No, mine is not... It's not good.
You have to say it.
Every second that goes by where you don't say it is worse.
Call me Piano Guy.
He was right.
Is that your final answer?
Yeah, I think...
That actually might be closer to it.
I do not remember what I wrote.
Danny, Johnny, get your final answers in.
This is not how Jeopardy works.
This is final Jeopardy in a way.
In the middle of the action.
I was going to say, damn, what is damn, bro?
This party's kind of thick.
That also might be it.
Johnny, let's hear it.
I can't say right or wrong for anything.
I think he wanted to tweet,
you're perfect just the way you are,
but it was over the 140 character limit.
It wouldn't have been.
What is just sour the day
at a stranger's bris AMA?
I honestly feel like Danny was the closest.
Johnny, you know I love you, man,
but you gotta step it up, man.
I'm not familiar with...
This isn't a hard game.
It's just Jeopardy.
It absolutely is a hard game.
Also, Jeopardy is famously hard.
Just saying it's just Jeopardy doesn't make it easier.
Before you put your demented twist on it,
it was already difficult.
Danny controls the board.
Oh, okay.
I like old, dead white men.
All things Rockefeller.
300, I guess.
All things Rockefeller for 300.
Here we go.
Rockefeller's Center.
Mets, what is Rockefeller's Center?
Fuck! Mets What is Rockefeller Center? Fuck
Why do you torture us?
Mets
What is 30 Rock?
Come on
You gotta give me that one
I'm not gonna give it to you man
You gotta earn your keep
Yanks
What is Rockefeller's Millionaire's Heart?
I mean that's not right That's, but it's the closest answer so far
Danny?
What is Jay-Z?
The correct answer we were looking for is
What is another name for John D. Rockefeller's penis?
So, sort of a center of gravity.
There's no way this is going worse than you thought it would.
I thought you guys were going to be going home with some serious quiche,
so much that I moved over money from my savings for this.
Here we go.
George controls the board for no reason.
I'll do... I want to
redeem myself with Billy Joel's draft, so I'm going to go for that
for 200. Here we go. Billy Joel's draft for 200.
A lyric Billy wrote down
after a six-hour delay at LaGuardia.
A Yanks. Yes, Danny.
Damn, it's still thick in here.
That's incorrect. Again, all your answers
I want them to be right
What the hell is this?
You looked at the board
As if you were going to push the space partner
No, you guys get a chance
This is crazy
I don't know enough Billy Joel songs
There's 400 people in the room
And you are dead silent
Giving me nothing today Who's Billy Joel songs. There's 400 people in the room and you are dead silent, giving me nothing today. Who's Billy Joel?
He's sort of the Randy
Newman of New York.
It's Randy Newman!
I almost
had you come out to I Love L.A.
That's pretty good. Instead you did I Had
a Bad Day.
Cause you had
a bad day. Cause you had a bad day.
Any guess.
Any guess, it probably won't be right. We have to
move on. Or I'll just move on. Here we go.
What is
but at least it ain't Newark.

beats of it all, the rhythm.

Wait, so it's not a draft?
It's a song he wrote,

It's a final draft.
Yeah, but he didn't put it out.
Is that a screenwriting joke?
Don't touch me.
Anyone buzz in.
Walking in Memphis.
No, it's actually,
I've seen the lights go out on wake off.
We don't know enough about...
Really?

This is real money, right?
Word of the absolute week.
Hell yeah.
That's $1, dollars to George.
The word was oysters.
Why was that a real... Why is this a real one?
Everything else is like a demented fucking
dumbass riddle you came up with 45 minutes ago.
And then this real
question and answer.
You just got no to choose that one.
Yeah, it's intuition.
It's absolutely intuition. Here we go.
George controls the board.
Wait, you never showed the
final answer, and I'm starting to think about it.
Oysters Rockefeller.
Okay, yeah. I thought it would be funny
if you pressed spacebar and it was like Columbus.
George might walk out of here with over $2,000.
I'm going to do Sully for $300.
Sully for $300.
Doggy style, probably.
What is Sully's favorite?
Oh, I didn't buzz in.
Yes.
Yanks, what is Sully's favorite sex position?

He's doing really well.
How'd you know that?
George flips with me.
It's in the movie.
All right, George controls the board again.
Here we go.
Fair for 300.
Fair for 300.
A Frankfurter with brawn enough for an entire bar.
Is this a sentence?
Yeah, he knows.
He knows exactly what it is.
You haven't been to this place, so.
I haven't been to a lot of places here.
Anybody can buzz in.
Johnny and I have been there.
Fuck.
That was a hint, Johnny.
You have to run with it.
That was easy.
Yanks.
Johnny, where have you been?
I don't know.
I try to forget every time I hang out with Joe.
Let's go, Johnny.
I got one from the audience.
Oh, yeah.
Is it not Raze?
Is it not Raze?
That's correct!
All right, well, now you have to participate in the rest of it
because it's winner takes all.
So here we go.
Just feel free to yank or met.
You work here now. Yeah because it's winner takes all. So here we go. Just feel free to yank or met. You work here now.

Great job.
George is going on with two.
If you win, which I think it's actually impossible,
you won.
Let's just clean up the board.
Well, let's see what happens in Final Jeopardy.
He might wager more than he has
Fine, these last two are triple or nothing
You still control the board

Really specific and dedicated
To making clothes specifically for Johnny

Tiffany's,
which is kind of a finger tailor soldier spy.
A finger tailor soldier spy.
You live in a Tiffany's, right?
Like, that's your house?

if we gauge off the thingies.
You've already won quite enough, George.
Last one.
Here we go.
The Hudson one under Captain Sully. Here we go. The Hudson one under Captain
Sully. Mets?
Yes. The Hudson River?

It's actually What's

changed it. The right
answer was What is Sully's favorite cake? But you know what? I'll still give it to you, Johnny. good. The right answer was, what is Sully's favorite Kate?
But you know what?
I'll still give it to you, Johnny.
Maybe next time we hang out,
you won't forget it on purpose.
This has been...
This is Jeopardy!
Danny ended up winning with $1,200.
George, can you confirm that I did send you $1,000 just now?
Danny, what's your Venmo?
You still haven't given it to me
because you don't want me to have your personal information.
I prefer checks.
Fuck.
Western union. Is there like a chase near here probably yeah all right um you did send me a thousand dollars yeah and you can vend on me whatever all right uh are you guys ready for some more guests
this is where things get hectic i'm sorry to mike i'm sorry to Mike. I'm sorry to the venue. I'm sorry to everyone involved.
Do we even have enough mics or chairs?
We do not.
We're going to share.
Got it.
We're going to share.
I thought it'd be fun to do a little New York versus L.A. shabazz.
Right?
Because we have our office here in Brooklyn.
We have our office in L.A.
Let's pit each other against each other.
Danny, you get over here.
George, you get over here.
And we're going to introduce some more people.
Here we go.
Can we get
Amitabh Ash to the stage?
Let's start.
Let's start.
Let's get this started.
Let's get this started.
Yeah.
Woo!
Woo!
Welcome. This is Team LA.
I'm not on it.
It's Avital, Amir, George, Danny.
Now let's outfit Johnny with a team.
Let's do four on one.
I can handle it
You saw how good I was in Jeopardy
Alright
Please welcome to the stage
Marika Brownlee again
Jake Erwitz again
And the upstate fiend himself
Andrew Pyle.
Holy shit.
We got Pyle.
Yeah.
Shit.
How did we afford Pyle?
We got Pyle bussed down here via Greyhound.
Not enough chairs, not enough mics.
Jeopardy was not chaotic enough. We wanted to do
this. Yeah, you guys have two people
all day. Three mics.
We have no chairs.
One mic. Oh, Pyle,
very nice. Thank you.
This is Family Room!
Alright.
Wow.
Everyone here was surveyed
about each and every...
Actually, not all of you.
Only some of you.
And some of you aren't even on stage.
And we were asked specific...
They were asked specific questions
about your guys' personality,
your annoying habits,
et cetera, et cetera.
And basically, this is Family Rude.
So top 314 answers on the board.
Danny, can you just be my space bar guy?
It's a big responsibility.
Why is it sticky?
Oh my god.
This is not how I wanted this to go.
Really? You didn't plan this at all.
So how did you think it would go?
Let's hit space bar.
And let's do show question.
So it's more than the
space bar, guys. It's a little bit more involved.
I'm going to do it.
Ferris, cut this out.
I'll relieve you.
You can still sit. They have three mics
and we have one then?
Yeah, here. Take this one.
Alright. Thank you. Gener this one. All right.
Generous even on her birthday.
Very nice.
Let's give it up one more time for Marika's birthday.
All right.
Top 314 answers on the board.
Name something sour about Andrew Pyle.
I don't know.
Can we raise hands?
I don't know how Family Feud works.
You had a week. family feud works You buzz
Now usually it's one family
And they keep naming shit
Until they get three X's
And then it goes to us so we can steal
Why am I explaining the rules to you
During the show
Buzz, somebody buzzed in
Name something sour about Andrew Pyle
His dog is a lemon
Liz Lemon the dog.
Okay.
That's true.
That's really good.
Show me dog, and then I'm not going to hit it, because I know that that's not on the
board.
And it was the best answer.
Oh, yeah.
A dog named Lemon would have been the perfect answer.
I didn't know he had a dog.
Of course. Can we buzz?
Yes, you can buzz.
Pyle is going to go because it's about him.
Okay.
All right, can I ask one thing?
Yes.
I showed up tonight and you asked me to be on the show like 20 minutes before it started.
My plan was...
So what was the plan here?
Were you just going to have this entire thing about me and me not be here?
Yes.
You were going to be in the audience and then I would probably hear a
That's so mean. You do that sometimes.
Alright. Well, okay.
Earlier I walked into the room and he said
you have a sour personality, so I'm going to say personality.
Um, you know what?
I'll give you that
under this category.
You're a little slutty.
All right.
All right, you guys,
now you guys control it, right?
How does Family Feud work?
Yeah, they keep going
until they get three strikes.
He's vindictive.
I'll give you that
under the category
rich but not happy.
188 people say that about it?
Yeah, that was the biggest audience answer
These are real surveys, we should say
They only ask 100 people
But that would have come up if you asked me
About the rules of the game we're playing on the show
Right
Alright, no strikes, keep it going
I'd say his jokes are very sour
They kind of put people in a very sour mood
Yeah, I'm going to give you that one under the category
Kind of a redneck.
And then Marika Brownlee,
take it home.
I guess he's isolated
upstate, so that's
a sour way to be.
Correct! He had a child because you're
supposed to.
That's not a good reason.
Alright.
The next question
is
what about Amir rubs you wrong
just so?
Buzz. Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz.
That was really fast
we should say. You didn't have to think about it.
Where do I start?
Right.
Should we do physical stuff? Some't have to think about it. Where do I start? Right. Should we do, like,
character, like,
physical stuff?
Some of them are physical,
I think.
Because I would get, like,
appearance for sure.
Yeah.
Let's go teeth. Appearance work.
Buck teeth.
Oh, wait, no,
that's actually his inexplicable
career success.
Too many people.
Way 222 surveys
said that.
Okay.
Well, actually,
it's explicable
because it's kind of,
you know,
just the line, sure.
Yeah.
All right.
What is it?
Final Jeopardy or something?
Going lightning round?
Do we have to go down the line?
Yeah, you go down the line
or something.
You start, Mariko.
I'm going to go with
his pants were way too tight today.
Stained as well.
That's incorrect.
But it is true.
You know what it is, Amirir It's that you've been working out
So you kind of have that thick ass now
That's not true
But I'll take it as a compliment
Is it our turn or
It's
No it's down the line right
Oh no you got it wrong
Yeah
Or is it three X's
Three X's
Three technically
But the rules don't mean anything,
so just say who you want to answer.
Again, top four answers on the board.
Something that rubs you wrong about a mere just so.
Oh, I thought something that rubs you wrong about yourself.
Oh, I guess I find it hard to fall back asleep
after I wake up in the middle of the night.
Incorrect.
That is correct.
Don't tell me more about myself
than you do. That's not
what the survey says.
Me?
Down the line, yeah. Alright.
Lately,
your farts... You don't have to be like super
specific. Let her
have the mic. I am, I am.
Let her hold it. I do want her to talk.
No, I want to hear this. Oh, it's tough.
Lately, your farts are loud and smell.
The combo.
That might fall under the category
can't work up to the courage to propose to Avital.
Those two things are related, yes.
I think you have to me here in New York.
So this is perfect.
Yeah.
But you thought Pyle would be here
and those were four really nasty things.
Anyway.
Damn.
You guys are cold.
Stare in my eyes when you answer.
I think sometimes
your eye contact's inconsistent
and you don't know
where to look at me.
Yeah, he's cold personally.
Yeah, you know what?
Detached.
I'll give you it.
The issue is I can't see it.
Somebody else needs to be controlling the survey.
This is so fucked up.
And then, yeah, George,
Danny, just say anything.
I think his overall professional vibe.
Yeah.
Show me vibe!
Home-owning jackass.
That's pretty close.
Yeah.
It's kind of interesting. home-owning jackass. Pretty close. Yeah. Hmm.
It's kind of interesting.
Because it's someone that I consider you and I kind of close.
But seeing these
all in a row, it's like,
yeah, where is the connection?
Here we go.
You didn't change the root on that one.
Top four answers on the board.
What is Marty Michaels' cross to bear?
Yeah, buzz in.
I'm gonna buzz.
Yep.
Okaying this show to exist.
Okay.
Marty started that one.
Well, let me see if any of these categories fit.
Oh, shit.
Fuck.
Wait a second.
That means it was unanimous.
Let's see what it was.
Yeah.
Wow.
That makes sense.
Parents divorced.
All right.
All right, this is the last round.
Last round.
What has Johnny Villa done sexually?
Oh, nice.
Buzz.
Yes.
Let's go.
What do you think, Johnny?
You can be honest.
My parents are in the audience.
Welcome to the villas.
Very nice.
I'm also Johnny's boss,
so this is really weird.
I want to say that...
Welcome to another edition of Thunderdome!
Because now we're kind of really in it.
Anyway.
I want to say that there were some escapades
had on my rooftop.
Yes, that's correct.
Sorry, wait.
You said unethical non-monogamy, right?
Oh.
All right.
I'd like to rescind my previous comment
because my parents aren't listening.
All right.
LA, you guys are doing this,
right?
I feel like we got it
so we control the board.
Oh, you can find, yeah.
You control the board
or whatever.
Do that thing down the line.
Down the line, yeah.
So we'll start with Andrew.
Yep.
You have no idea
what you're doing.
You don't know Johnny at all.
I know him enough.
Ooh.
I would say most things.
He's done most things sexually.
Did you say
erotic modeling?
Because if so, correct.
No exes.
Keep it going, New York.
Let's say...
What do I look like I've said to you?
I'm weighing what I want to say
knowing your parents are here.
I think you should still open up.
They love it. I know it.
I don't want to say anything too...
I'll say rimming, and that's it.
In hopes that they don't know what it is.
Notary public role play.
Exactly right.
That was the other one I was going to say.
I don't want to answer this.
Come on, it's your birthday.
Shouldn't be a reason.
I guess I'll go in the opposite direction.
Some light smooching.
Spent a summer as a pool boy slash oral slave.
Exactly right.
My God.
Well, New York's obviously winning
pretty heavily.
But this brings us to our final round.
Are you guys ready?
Yes.
Yeah.
Double or nothing?
I, um...
I forgot to create a final round.
What?
No, I did.
The just thing, I had it on my other laptop. And then because of the tech of the theater, we had to switch a final round. What? No, I did. The just thing, I had it on my other laptop
and then because of the tech of the theater,
we had to switch the laptops out.
I see.
So let's just say New York wins.
Huge.
Is that fair?
Home court advantage.
Please give it up for
Head Come New York,
Head Come LA.
Thank you guys so much for coming on
Let's have Johnny, Marika, Jake and Amir
Stick on
We're still
Wow
We are staying
I thought the show was over on you not having the final round
And I was kind of worried
It was fine
That was a curveball today
Someone pass Johnny a mic
Actually pass Marika the mic.
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
Johnny.
Jeff,
you told me
that I wouldn't be able to wait for this segment.
Yes.
So I'm really excited.
You're a pretty affable guy.
Some people don't think so.
Okay.
What do you guys think?
Do you guys like Johnny?
That wasn't loud enough.
He has a knife.
How much, like,
by a show of a round of applause, right?
Is kind of the right way to do this,
how much would you want to get in contact with Johnny?
Oh.
No.
Please, God, no.
Wow, you're...
Oh, no!
Is it also on the other computer?
No.
I have this one.
Thank God.
Well, you guys can wax while I find this.
Now you guys know that this is not a bit.
Yeah.
Jeff is actually...
So that's Johnny Villa's actual phone number.
Yeah, can we not do that?
Don't text him, but if you want to call him,
I'm going to leave, take a picture,
and you can call him in the next 24 hours.
Oh, that's good.
I see the phone's up. Take the photos. That's nice. Yeah, a lot of photos being taken. I'm going to take a picture. You can call him in the next 24 hours. Oh, that's good. I see the phones up.
Take the photos.
That's nice.
Yeah, a lot of photos being taken.
Actually, let's have a contest.
First one to call him wins.
That's really good.
First one to call him wins $100.
So everyone take out your phone.
Already calling it.
Actually, that's...
Do you have your phone?
I do have my phone.
Can you prove that that's actually ringing?
Wow, pick up.
Yeah, Kay Dillon from Des Moines, Iowa.
Oh, we got one right there. Wow. So everybody take a photo of this. I'm going to leave it up. Yeah. Kay Dillon from Des Moines, Iowa. Oh, we got one right there.
Wow.
So everybody take a photo of this.
I'm going to leave it up.
And we'll just see what kind of conversations Dillon waxes.
God, your phone's so broken.
Dillon?
It fully hasn't picked up.
Oh, wait.
It's still ringing.
Oh, no.
I'm on with you now.
Talk.
No, my phone's ringing.
Okay, well, that feels like a theater service issue.
It's a real number.
Anyway.
Hello, Tan Man?
Oh, my God, is that Tan Man?
The Tan Man?
Someone named Tan Man called you.
That's my best friend, Tanner.
He's in the audience tonight.
Can we get some cheers for Tanner?
That's not a good example because you know each other.
We need a stranger to call the number. Well. We need a stranger to call the number.
We got a stranger to call the number.
And there were technical issues.
You're getting a lot of calls.
I am getting a lot of calls.
Your phone is fucked up.
I'm reacting. I thought you were going to be angry.
I am angry, but you know,
I do want the conversation.
That's so dark.
Full steam ahead We have five more minutes
I think we should do plugs
Why?
What's that?
There were so many people that are on stage
That didn't get a plug chance
That's true
It's just everybody got a plug
And they'd be here the whole night
Why for a live show are we doing plugs?
This is
You know what?
All I've had tonight is sour poison vitriol from the 20 of the people on the HeadGum team.
And I'm not going to fucking have it, actually.
These people came to hear gold, and you provided them mold.
Wow.
Wow.
You think if 20 people are mad at you that we gave them the mold?
Yes.
Or did you give them the mold?
100% you gave them the mold.
Also, you think gold is me saying my Instagram handle for these people to follow me after the show?
It's a structure to work within.
You say something like that.
A structure?
You didn't have final fucking family rules.
Yeah, because you know what?
There's no structure.
I had a curveball phone with me.
There's no structure.
You said to Danny at one point, say anything.
I'm not going to have it.
Can we take my phone off the thing?
What's that?
I don't think you have two laptops.
You said you messed up because you switched your laptop,
and we all sort of glossed over it.
But either way, I didn't have the final round.
Yeah, I don't think you ever had it.
Right.
You are mold.
You're fired. Really? Yeah. Oh, my God. He can mold. Yeah.
You're fired.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
He could technically do that.
It's a weird loophole.
Yeah.
It's like the way this company's structured.
It's fucking weird ass sphere.
I swear to God.
I don't have any shares.
I had to,
yeah,
I divided them up.
Never can do that shit.
Go home shit!
No way. That chant was broken.
It didn't start
and I won't honor it.
You missed, Natfod.
Well, listen guys.
We gotta get out of here.
Thank you so much for coming to the first
HeadGum Podcast live.
Right?
This has been an unbelievable
showing. I really
didn't think we were going to even sell out the floor
of this show. Really? Yeah.
Don't worry, we won't sell out the next one
now that they've seen it. Right.
We'd have to go city to city, I
think. We can't do the same one twice.
Don't tell your LA
friends that it went this way, because
we're trying to do one in LA
we're also going to add artificial laughter throughout
so people sort of hear that it's a good time
and through AI
yes and let's remember to pick up the final rude
round
that way we have that on the show
and on the day
yes in the can
well there's one last thing I wanted to do
Marika you're 27 yes can we all sing happy birthday to Marika Brownlee Yes, in the can. Good. Well, there's one last thing I wanted to do.
Marika, you're 27?
Yes.
Can we all sing happy birthday to Marika Brownlee?
She worked so hard on this festival.
Really slow.
Let's do it uncomfortably slow. Oh, no.
Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you. We're praying. You made us pray.
Happy birthday, dear Marika.
Happy birthday to you.
Thank you guys all so much for coming out.
This was a wonderful show. Many more, ideally.
And for Jack.
Let's get it started.
Let's get it started in here.
Everywhere I turn, here I am.
That was easy.
So walk away with me.
I'll show you that I am. That was a Hidgum Original.
