This is a HeadGum Original. Previously on the HeadGum Podcast. We can't tell if maybe you're about to cry. It's very jarring and upsetting to us, and then we have to say something about it. Yeah. And then that's not good for the listeners. And it's interesting you say, look to your corner,

because sometimes I look to my corner and it doesn't feel like anyone's in it, you and to george's point it's like i get that i've built a reputation for myself of being pipes in your hand right i see the pipe in your hand so already like you you did bring up like oh this is something that makes me feel vulnerable no one's in my corner and now you have the pipe in your mouth so you're actually not gonna fall well you don't i don't think that's not true ellen you don't fully get it you're not gonna fully engage because you're like now you're just kind of like a prop comic you're devolving you're devolving into prop comedy and so you don't actually have anything to put on the table you rhyme and you hold a pipe you you i just want to point back to like maybe

45 seconds ago you're like oh it makes me sad and then i'm not glad or whatever the fuck you said you do a rhyme and then you put a pipe in your mouth and then that you're like oh but I'm true but there's no but I'm true we're just kind of all left like what are we supposed to do to that then that then the conversation becomes about the pipe and so then oh are we we have to stop for a whole conversation just to

make you feel like a big man oh big man with big pipe in a closet right sorry podcast proceed that I just had to throw that little that those two cents in there as well because that was some great feedback marika thank you that's a sinister dance sister dance. Should all acquaintance

be forgotten and never brought to mind? Should old acquaintance be forgot and days of old land sign? Paul and Son Full steam ahead into the new year 2022 You shouldn't have the face of a guy that was like performing that song like you were sort of like into it like you had anything

to do with it but you just hit a button so like i guess remove the pride slash joy from your eyes that had nothing yeah she yeah new year nice uh no it's it's a new year we're going into come march the second year of the show which is fucking bonkers johnny yeah there's no way we started this in march of 2020 may then it doesn't matter at the end of the day we're spreading joy and libel. And that's what it's become about. And what has also come about is a cult following. And I think we owe it to our listeners to make the best product. All thongs considered.

Off to a great start. We have a lot to get to today. And I hope that that exhausts you the idea of having activities multiple segments to get to how are you guys' New Year's Eve let's start off with waxing we've got Johnny Vela on the sax

Marika Brownlee on the facts and Amir Blumenfeld bringing up the rear or we should say the New York Times thank you appreciate that yeah do you want to speak to that i was in an op-ed quoted in the lead paragraph of a pretty interesting piece with regards to the recent omicron surge in cases uh and how um the idea of purchasing someone a test. Say it faster. In this Woebegone era is actually a pretty decent.

The pace is so self-serving. Secret Santa slash birthday or anniversary gift. It was a white elephant gift. Because you are a white elephant. Yeah. Okay. a white elephant gift because you are a white elephant uh yeah okay uh that's one way to look at it uh not necessarily how I did why won't you die don't be sad

you like look around and then that makes the sound effect mean actually I might change my name in here to the New York Times as a mirror Don't be sad. You look sick around and then that makes the sound effect mean. Actually, I might change my name in here to the New York Times as a mirror. That's a good idea. It doesn't show up on the video. But we'll know. It'll boost his self-esteem after you called him an elephant and said you wanted him to die.

He left. Now he's gone. He obviously left. Perfect. Johnny, how was your new year's eve what'd you do uh my new year's eve was fine uh we celebrated it together jeffrey all right it was fine we got tested right before i walked into the party correct which actually does kill the energy like walking in you know you're walking in like oh I'm excited going into a party but you can't even walk inside like the actual place because you need to get tested wait outside for 15 minutes while

the rapid test displays its results and by that point you really don't want to go in but it's nice what is that what are we looking at there that's Johnny doing his rapid test did anybody fail that test on the way into the party and just have to like turn around and go home?

Nobody did. Everybody was negative? Yeah. Flying colors passed. According to an at-home rapid test. Correct. Yes. I got an oops all negative rapid test.

Done in a stairwell where everyone is unmasked still and so what was the how many people sorry don't talk over me don't talk over me on my show I wouldn't do that if I were you it sucks to know that I wasn't invited to this party

I'm just gonna throw that out there immediately. Would you have come? No, but I should have been invited. I'm sorry. Next time I'll invite you to an event, I know you're going to say no to it. No, it's fine. It's fine. I haven't seen Jeff the entire time he's been here.

Yeah, we're going on two months. How long? You chose probably the worst two months in human history to live in New York. But yeah, it's been since December. Can I ask you guys a question? Do you think Omicron would have hit New York as hard in the universe that I don't move to New York for these months? That's what I was worried about. No.

Yeah. That's cool you guys had fun together, though. I'm glad. I'm glad you were able to do stuff. I feel like I'm in a bad position. It feels like you're putting me on the spot. No. I just stayed home in my house alone

because I was scared to go outside. But, you know, it's cool. Yeah. Did you watch the ball drop or no I didn't I watched the movie Ibiza right before

midnight is that the movie about how Avicii's dead I'm curious if you know I watched a film about Ibiza to show Avicii's dead? I mean, you know. I watched a film about Ibiza to show Avicii I was dead. But then I did see all of the clips

of Anderson Cooper and what's his face? Andy Cohen. Yeah, just being drunk as fuck, which is pretty pretty great have you seen those yeah i guess that's a new thing people just like get hammered on camera on new year's like a bunch of channels had just like drunken hosts i guess they all took it from what cnn's been doing for

whatever reason yeah uh he really He really called out some people. Mark Zuckerberg. I saw that part. It's great. Highly rec-finding those clips. This wouldn't have happened if this was Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. There was a lot more order back then.

I made a joke in 2018 about that show being called Dick Clark's New Year's Rock and Ass and then Rajat Suresh tweeted Dick Clark's New Year's Eve Rock and Bob and it went viral

I like that tweet better that was this year I think it's a punch down it's a first draft of mine no one says rocking ass yeah yeah also you don't have the built-in clout slash credibility to go viral on twitter regardless of what you say okay because i pay going viral is more than just coming up with a quippy one-liner it's about knowing enough people that follow you that can signal boost yeah your thoughts and you're a mere a mere understands this because he's actually new york times is a mirror obviously yeah i was in a

pretty interesting op-ed um i was i was quoted in the lead of a times piece uh a couple weeks exact words five minutes ago verbatim like you had this rehearsed because you kept talking about it the past two and a half weeks it's pretty exciting yeah i didn't do anything nearly as exciting it's a big fucking deal man crossword before that's more of a big deal yes the crossword was fun the jeopardy clue was a moment but that awkward moment when you're quoted in the lead of a times piece hit different was it college jeopardy let's just go to the next segment um we are love is jeopardy is jeopardy are you guys are you guys doing wordle have you seen this new trend what was that it's a word game

wait tell me first don't tell johnny and jeffrey i want to be like kind of ahead of the curve it's not possible DM me just a quick rundown and I can be like oh yeah I know that and then we can figure it out you've already exposed yourself it's way too late it's a word game but people have like moved

like posting their results to social media in the form of this like weird color grid and it's really pissing me off but i did play the game today and i won but i didn't post my results because i'm not not like that you just mentioned it on a podcast that gets blasted out to like 40 000 people so that's worse than posting it to social media because the audience is bigger public that's not that's not the point i'm not like clogging my twitter feed with just colored blocks you know uh but it's cool it's fun it's like a daily puzzle where you just like

have to guess a word in six tries i thought someone would have seen this but i guess not i guess i'm on a different side of twitter yeah you're by yourself on this you're on a different side of Twitter yeah you're by yourself on this you're on a different path entirely and it's actually something I wanted to sit you down and talk about is that I fear for you in what way the trajectory that you're on in terms of is it heading to our success or at least my vision of success for you or is which is what what's that what What's your vision of success for me? Honestly, Broadway producer and star.

What are you doing to audition? Todd Diesel. Forget it. Forget it. Amir, what did you do for New Year's Eve? Also stayed at home. Didn't want to be around too many people so we sort of um hunkered in stayed healthy stayed happy and watched a few episodes of the hulu original the great nice great show it is a great show amital has already watched it

she liked it so much that she is watching it again with me that's it is that's how high it is a great show amit has already watched it and she liked it so much that she is watching it again with me that's it is that's how high it is what's that it is the great show i still need to start season no but it's called the great yeah what do you do all day jeff me yeah i sit down i try to write it doesn't happen then i do a podcast or two i maybe edit it and then i try to find different avenues of joy whether it's sexual whether it's chemical whether it's digital, whether it's chemical, whether it's digital. Remember that jigger mirror? Why did you text me,

why does nobody frigging like me at 11.18 a.m.? Pacific. So what was going on at two in the afternoon? Just feels like nobody ever shows up. Did you have lunch or something? I had lunch. What'd you get? Well, everybody else walked to La Superior

and then they didn't invite me so I went to a deli. Is everyone in the office? Yeah. What do you mean? It's a fucking party. It's been awesome. Pile's there.

Lemon's there. Lemon's there. Everyone who matters is in the office right now. Interesting. Yeah. That's cool. Clapping. that's cool laughing um was it that you wanted to be safe or you didn't get the invite

to the uh the party to be at so you're rehashing this and who are you talking to you me no Amir said that he stayed in he hunkered down and that he watched the great i'm wondering if that was a conscious decision because of covid or if it was because you didn't get the invite to the party i got in a fucking invite don't even worry about that you better believe i got the

invite really i opted not to attend because this thing's going ham. It's absolutely going ham. It's trying to stay, you know, outside of mass indoor maskless gathering. Of course. Yeah. Jeffrey, do you have anything to add? What's next variant wise? Anything else on the horizon? I feel like we got to be looking at Europe

to see if they've found anything post-Omicron. They're sort of living in a world six to eight weeks out. So yeah, let's talk about something else. Pretty good idea about what's coming on the horizon. Let's talk about something else. Let's talk about something else. Let's talk about something else. Oh yeah, here's a new variant.

Something more lighthearted. We talk about COVID all to talk about something else oh yeah here's something more light-hearted we talk about covet all the fucking time january 6th the anniversary is coming up of what the insurrection the riot that's more light-hearted i this was just something I was toying around a thought experiment what if on January 6th 2021 it hadn't been white supremacist

proud boys storming the capital it had been the Sith the what from Star Wars yeah the Sith the Sith because then it could have been called January Sith The what? From Star Wars? Yeah. The Sith? The Sith. Because then it could have been called January Sith.

January the Sith be with you. That's a good punch up. Thank you. Let me tweet that. On Thursday. And I want everybody sort of retweeting, chiming in,

coming up with original sort of twists and turns on this golden nugget of a tweet, which is January the Sith be with you. It's God, it's perfect. Johnny just laughed again. Like he'd heard it for the first time. Yeah.

Cause like it is pretty novel it tickles me yeah no way it's the same joke that I said and everybody didn't laugh well there's this kind of this really long walk yeah so you can see the setup

yeah you kind of say it from like a place of hate but like Amir is saying it from a place of light heartedness and you can really tell and it bleeds into the tweet itself it's funny yours is not you're an artist man you should be able to hear like fucking feedback like this without getting

so despondent you can't have thin skin and like put stuff out there that's not how it works like I should be able to tell you that your shit sucks you should be looking forward to that kind of feedback do you have to have like crits in film school where you like sit in a room for

hours and your peers ridicule your work mhm and you're not allowed to say anything yeah I'm just wondering it's an art school thing for sure that was school this is the real world

so I'll fucking talk back your life should be that your life should be strangers coming up to you on the street being like I wouldn't wear that I wouldn't do that with your hair don't frown as you walk down the street you're not you know dressed appropriately for right now or later

sounds like the experience of a woman oh thank you and that's what I wanted to talk about because it shouldn't be up to Marika to bring this shit up thank you yes you never bring shit up about equality about equity what did you say I never bring shit up

you never bring anything up so don't say don't scold me and Johnny for not bringing it up I'm just saying I'm not scolding anyone I'm just presenting it out there I'm sort of speaking truth to power not unlike the piece that was written about me for me in the

NY Times which is pretty important. Yeah, we should do another applause. Yeah, yeah. That was pretty impressive. Thank you. Oh my gosh, thank you. Major key alert, hypocrisy is the enemy of democracy. How? Right? What do you mean how? Explain.

Explain? I'm happy. it sounds like it just rhymes but nothing else it's everything and nothing at the same time listen what people fail to realize in this country is that voting is only something you do every four years you know two years if you vote in the midterms but who gives a shit about those people fail to realize that definitely vote in the midterms, but who gives a shit about those? People fail to realize that. Definitely, definitely vote in the midterms. Boo, Jeff. Awful. Boo. Guys, taking care of your health isn't always easy, right? But it should be simple. That's

Go back to your place, I guess, right? And we're back! Welcome to HeadGum Drama Right? welcome to head gum drama right we're gonna talk about not only the tea but also drama series

okay fine i'm in all right um part of the fun of working at a company as close-knit as HeadGum is that you kind of know everybody, right? And along with that is working in the office. You know, Omicron aside, it's kind of a full house every day. And you're bound to hear about gossip. Also, there are often series that are drama. Great. So I just thought we could talk about some tea

and then also some like HeadGum branded drama series pitches at the same time. Okay. So not just not existing television. Yeah. Ideally not. So the first one is that I hear there's trouble

in paradise with Micah and his girlfriend. No. Really? It's none of our business one and I highly doubt that there's any kind of trouble in paradise. Or they're just on vacation together. That's true. And Micah did have a really nice New Year's post

saying love you to her. And she's great. I love her. Yeah, she's true. And Micah did have like a really nice New Year's post saying love you to her. And she's great. I love her. Yeah, she's great. Yeah. I don't know if you're... Were you trying to stir something and cite some ill will between us? He is.

No, I just thought I heard Jake say something. You know, a lot of this is keeping your ear to the ground and the next yeah yeah let's go to the next one I'm trying not to talk about people that don't work at head gum yeah right well that's why I didn't mention her by name so I'm a good guy move on and then what about this as like a drama pitch right winter is coming a game of thrones-esque epic that follows Andrew Pyle

as he prepares for the harsh Rhinebeck winter I think he's in Florida what yeah he sort of got out of upstate New York because it was cold and desolate and he's down in Florida

where it's really nice and warm yeah so is that a no in the room yeah unequivocally no that sucks alright Johnny has a hot

date next week maybe it's nobody's business is it true though now I feel like I'm put on the spot by you maybe maybe I do you could easily lie I could but

what would that mean for the head gum listeners you know I don't know yeah I don't know. Yeah. I don't want to be seen as someone who lies all the time. I mean, they wouldn't have known, but... Oh, okay. Yeah.

Interesting. So lying works, right? I guess I'll keep that in mind for the next time I have to lie. At least I have a hot date over a week in advance, too. It's like a hot date scheduled for like nine days out. That was... It's crazy to have it this far in advance too. It's like a hot date scheduled for like nine days out. That was it's crazy to have it this far in advance. Are you going to

do a at home test right before you enter wherever this date is? I wasn't considering it but now I am. I have a test if you need it.

I'll take it yeah good luck finding them how did you get one Jeff Roman Health what's that Roman Health they don't sponsor us oh you got the online one yep

why are you so bad bad I said mad but it didn't sound like it Yep. Ordered it from the internet. Why are you so bad? Bad? I said mad, but it didn't sound like I said bad again. Why are you so bad? What about sad men? Alpha male Marty Michael is at the top of his game in the high-pressure world of the podcasting industry. However, he's secretly devastated.

Awful pitch. Podcasting industry however he's secretly devastated did awful bitch However he secretly devastated Just mad men right that's admin Ben's also just mad men the television show like no, that's about a guy in the 1950s in the advertising industry. This is about present day podcasting. Really? Pretty sure. I thought he kind of had it all in terms of like the job and the corner office and he cheats on his wife.

I haven't watched Mad Men other than like one episode, but I feel like it's safe to say he's not the happiest. I just think it'd be fun to see Marty go ham. JMM. Yeah, of course. say he's not the happiest. I just think it'd be fun to see Marty go ham. Hmm. Yeah, of course. The pun was good.

Decent, at least. But I think I'm going to have to do a hard pass on this. Yeah, it's a pass for me also. What about the fact that Marika has boarded up her apartment windows to hibernate

obviously not true you can see it you can see her windows it's gossip it doesn't have to be true it just has to be fun how is that fun yeah like what if of it the what if of it all

that's so rude to me as a person anything saying that there's trouble in paradise is fun gossip in a loving relationship trouble in paradise i don't know when people break up it's sort of interesting up it's sort of interesting gossip shouldn't be made up on the spot for a joke it should be real and that's what makes it fun these aren't real

so they're not fun alright what about compression it follows the familial drama of the Hurwitz family as siblings fight and scrape their way to become the heir to the patriarch's old bike shorts the worst part

about this is that you fucking planned ahead and this is what came out of it like it took work to do it like that and it's still it's like bad improv somehow yeah you're a enigma in that way yeah yeah i'm actually i'm gonna start taking these pictures from um the the perspective of a broadway producer since that's what you want me to do

and I'm still going to say no I'm still going to say no but I think you're getting closer in terms of what would work on Broadway okay and then this is T Trouble in Paradise with Angie and her husband

no idea I don't know what to do with that is she married? I don't know Angie and her husband. No idea. I don't know what to do with that. Is she married? I don't know. So you don't even know these two people are falling in love. She has a partner. I don't know if they're married.

Yeah, you don't. So don't make up rumors about shit. Yeah. All right. All right. All right. right shy and wrong about it you should be feeling like you've been reprimanded right now we want you to stop doing this i've been desensitized you're in a fucking half of this shit i'm so ready for this sometimes I say good shit and I still get braided so why should I even try terrible mindset to have

let's move on breaking rad Nick Rad makes meth I have a feeling this one's gonna be the next one that one's actually pretty good yeah I'd watch it for sure that was it for sure. Yeah. That was it.

It's over? That was it for HeadGumDrama. We have more. It's crazy that the least developed idea, a.k.a. Breaking Rad, was the most well-received, so Jeffrey should probably reconsider. That one was just two words,

and we loved it the most. This sucks. Yeah, it does. You guys might like this one. We might. I don't fucking know. We might like it. Welcome to Fictionary.

What? What did you say? The music was too loud. Yeah. Did you say Fictionary or Pictionary? Yes! Fictionary. Fick! Spell it out. It's like sick but with an F.

Oh, Fictionary. Which makes less sense. This is a 19th century era Victorian parlor game. I doubt it, but go. Go on, explain. Fictionary. What they would do is they would gather in the parlor. Okay.

Take a dictionary off the shelf open it up find an obscure word say the word all the party guests would then come up with their definition of this obscure word what do they think it means they've never heard it before and then everybody goes around shares their thing be funny. It can be a serious guess. And then at the end, you say the real definition. Whoever was closest to it wins. Okay. You guys ready? This is like a game I used to play called Boulder Dash. But it was like an actual game.

Yeah. With built-in rules. Yeah. And they had like real words and definitions. This one, I just grab it. What if I don't find a word that's hard to find? No, no, no. I have all of them.

I have all of them. Okay. Pelical. What? Pelical. Wow. Do not ever raise your voice at me again. You don't know how terrifying that is being next to him in the studio.

Because you know he's fucking capable. Yeah. The fact that he's capable of hurting you. I've never done anything to hurt anyone physically. Ever. The fact that you have to say it is not a good sign. In terms of my personality yeah uh pelical let's start with marika

is it marika yeah okay man i couldn't tell if you were marissa melnick how far how far are we into this episode and you thought she was marissa 30 minutes yeah

pellicle of or pertaining to a pelican Johnny I'm thinking it sounds like jellicle like in cats but I also don't know like Jellicle like in cats But I also

Don't know what Jellicle means So made up it's a nonsense Word okay so it is a nonsense Word Peloton I think it has something to do with So Pelicle Has to do with something related to Flying

Pelay to flying Pele go on nevermind Amir Pelicul is dry coarse almost like rough to the touch Amir was the closest the definition is actually pretty fitting

for Amir thin skin or film thin skin or film i was the closest you said course of course Of course he said course Skin can be coarse Shouldn't we like all submit it to you And then we guess which one is right Now we're just sort of That's really good Why don't we do that

Because you didn't plan it Because you didn't plan it Here we go Manus Manus depression planet here we go man us manistepration okay so here's what we should do everyone should dm him in the zoom what we want people to guess is the actual definition of what is it manis can you oh there we go Manistupration so everyone sort of DM Jeff direct not to everybody yeah just directly to Jeff

and then Jeff will read all of them including the real one and we'll have to guess it's kind of like that that game we played the Jackbox game yeah just play I sent over my direct message to jeff

um okay this sucks you thought of the game man no and you said that this idea was you said this idea would you do it i'm not talking about the game i'm talking about the way this is going the energy in the room room I don't know what you expect from us you were making us do a lot of thinking and like creative work yeah and also talk at the same time yeah on the fly everything

you guys are professionals been doing this for a year and a half does not make us professionals can you listen to music and sleep no alright your options are

A. bloodletting or bile removal used specifically on smallpox in the 18th century B. the act of tearing something off C c masturbation d a fancy word for writing i'm gonna go with c masturbation that's correct it is honestly whacking it it is honestly whacking it

you didn't want to wait for me and Johnny to guess or yeah no because she got it right yeah but like we could have also gotten it right mm-hmm yeah okay then why don't you host the show actually I was kind of into say D again

D is a fancy word for writing yeah I'll go D it's masturbation it was mine Say D again? D is a fancy word for writing. Yeah, I'll go D. It's masturbation. It was mine. So now Marika gets double credit because I guessed hers. All right. Peduncle.

Petuncle? Peduncle. Peduncle. Peduncle. Hmm. I don't... head uncle hmm uh I don't I don't like the dead air that we have to a lot for this segment

Sam I got a good one I um really think you guys will guess what mine is let's just put it that way it's probably borderline what it actually yeah sometimes it's okay to just let silence be not necessarily on a podcast of course yep oh yeah this is great okay i. I sent over mine. All right. Here we go.

A, a relative of a different ethnic background. All right? Mm-hmm. B, sorry. What did you write? I mean, what did I write? B, the stalk of a flower. C, terrain that is walkable or navigable on foot.

Or D, a person or animal that walks on the heels of their foot. Oh. Two feet related ones. Yeah. Nice. Don't say nice. I think I'm gonna go with D cause ped means

leg or foot and that's the one that stood out to me alright I'm gonna go with the flower one cause I think you

changed it to the correct answer once you made that error in speaking I was thinking that too yeah kinda predictable in a way

yeah Jeff was looking extra concerned so I'll guess speaking. I was thinking that too. Kind of predictable in a way. Yeah, Jeff was looking extra concerned. So I'll guess what Marika said too. He does seem real. Yeah. It sucks. And D was mine, so again

I get double points. What the fuck? That's true. So unfair. All right. Blatner phone. Blatner phone? Yes.

Can you spell that? You should spell it out loud. All right. B-L-A-T-T-N-E-R phone. Blatner phone a Blatner phone or to Blatner phone hmm

these are the things we have to consider Blatner phone? I hardly know her phone William Blattner that's good that's really good that was good

honestly just rubbed me the wrong way sorry what's so funny nothing yeah sorry what's so funny nothing yeah on the show today nothing this is also sort of the all star line up I'm all for a laugh

what's the last movie everybody watched? I watched Big Hero 6 last night. Oh, that's a good one. It was fine. Is the new Spider-Man supposed to be good? Yeah, it's good. You watched it? Yeah.

Day of release. Trying to decide if I should go to a empty theater to watch it. Yeah. I really, I also want to do that again. My friends and I were like, when can we find an empty theater in the city? Would you say it's worth it for the empty theater?

All right. I mean, I think it's good. I think if you don't care you could easily just wait a few months until it's released yeah yeah um blatner phone blatner phone a instrument used to record sound on magnetic tape B the sound of chicken C a musical
