Error in the title- this is actually Worst Episode Ever number 165

I like how Geoff has taken to sitting behind the producer's desk like he's some kind of mastermind when he is, at best, a mind.

This is the first time I have found myself genuinely angry at Geoff, that's how I know it's an all timer.

Geoff: [rambling about Headgum, or life, or nothing at all] Everyone: *Silence* Geoff: [Starts to elaborate] *A Podcast Guest Chimes In* Geoff: [Sharp admonishment] Guests and producers: [Dismay, Concern, & Amusement] Geoff: [Doubles down, enters a Plea for Help, or sometimes just plugs] Repeat after further dismay. Edit: What’s everyone’s Bond of the Week

lofi headgum radio 🍙 - beats to spread joy/scald sand to

Geoff - @40:57 you mention my comment on the Lunch & Learn episode about how if you were to even slightly prepare for an episode they turn out well. I want you to understand that this is only because of the raw talent of those in the circle around you. They are making masterpieces out of scraps. You are nothing but the scrapman. Love you.

Casey, Marika, and Andrew all have very beautiful smiles that are great to see and are an antidote to Geoff’s poison.

I unironically can't get enough of Pile having a great time on this show for... some reason.

10:32 geoff noticing the tv broadcasting himself with such wonder is beautiful

Never has someone's worst so quickly followed their best

Geoff looks like the hate child of Frank Zappa and Tommy Wiseau

I'm here when the video only has 1 view. It should probably stay at that number.

At 19:00 Casey mentions that Amir often says Ahoy, or Ahoy-hoy. This is a reference to the Simpsons, where the one time Mr. Burns answers his own phone, he does so with "Ahoy-hoy!". The writers made Mr. Burns answer the phone this way because as Pile mentioned earlier, that is how Alexander Bell wanted the newly invented phone to be answered, as a subtle gag to how old he is. Geoff stinks, 0/10 podcast, wish I had the 165 hours I've spent on this show back

I dread seeing this in my recommendations

They should use more overlapping silence

Second pod in a row where Geoff has suggested being quiet. Now tell that to yourself, Geoffrey

I love the quick cut to Geoffrey as Casey says there’s structure to the Pit Wall

The cuts to Casey just sitting are everything

Pile is everything Geoff isn’t

I know from Headgum Quiplash livestreams that Pile is hilarious. If you have no ideas one week just do a Quiplash with the gang!

Pileheads, rise up!

Pile’s hair looks great. My hair is the same texture and need a segment on what products he uses. 15+ mins in the next episode is fine

Need more Pile in the future

Geoff confidently misspelling and mispronouncing Nauru gives me life

you guys should definitely do a “Presentation” episode where everyone makes a powerpoint anf presents it

This one is hysterical, thank y'all.

Not a good sign that this is the most used episode name, right Geoff? Make a change.

insane thumbnail right off the bat

The first part of Ada was written to be as confusing as possible to keep the youth from reading it. I’m shocked Geoff made it past page 3 but also now I know who he steals his vocabulary from. PS: next time have the guests play the game of outlining shadows and then watching the sun move. I hear it rules.

every episode is good if it has Pile's Smile. in fact, let's make a segment of the bish

I feel like you could sell a mostly empty bag with some rice in it, as a collab with Review Revue, call it "loose rice in a bag." Lots of merch opportunities with this whole rice business

A true nothing episode.

The ending made me laugh out loud. Just pure disappointment

I love the Burn your Rice song

Ahhhh, well.....maybe next week! Maybe next week.

It’s like global warming - this is the hottest summer ever, so far.

best episode

I want to shout out Amir. His and Geoff's dynamic is amazing and him not being on lately really shows

Casey should've hijacked this and turned it into a Pit Wall ep, and I haven't even watched it yet

love the ada or ador reference. very high brow kek

PILE HEADS WON

i love this weird fucking podcast.

Previous two eps were all timers, I can deal with an occasional wonky ep

mommy is ready for her joison

a few weeks ago amir made a comment about not being on the show so much because he thinks he's become geoff's crutch, and he shouldn't need to be a permanent fixture for the concept to work. i didn't get it then but i do now

got my hopes in the first 15 seconds that geoff wouldn’t be here. extremely disappointed

I feel like the gimmick with the "headgum podcast rice" would have to be that it is bad to eat, and I wouldn't want to do that to Marika's cousin.

Long while no pile

cant take a rewatch psychically, can someone timestamp geoff mispeaking and immediately falling silent

It should be statistically impossible for every episode of this podcast to be 'below average' and yet...

Ok? …. Or you agree?

This is day 22 of asking Geoff if I can be on the podcast

19:07 such an abrupt ad break

How do I turn this off

back to form? no..BAD TO FORM. just like momma used to make it.

Can’t believe 165 hours of my life have been wasted in such a manor

❤ love it

This was quite possibly the actual worst episode ever. There was so much vitriol and poison in this ep that I'm surprised any of them made it out... well... alive.

i don't think white album is better than slouching towards bethlehem

Nauru, Na-OO-ROO, not “noir”, would never accept Geoff

I would buy Headgum rice.

If you're ever short on ideas, please do that hilarious word definition game from ep 84 Oose

Geoff specifically ask for the pit wall crew. They accept and show up, even after Geoff has bailed on so many episodes. Then Geoff to proceeds to have just one badly "planned" segment. He's a menace and needs to be stopped! See you next week

Justin Baggs sounds like a cool dude

This show needs the antagonism between Amir and G

29:49

This is why you don’t get invited/considered for comic-con

This was so scary please don’t do it again❤ 44:58

of all the things that peeve me about this show, somehow geoff mispronoucing Nauru has got to be the worst one. just send him to any deserted island instead

All time mail in from Geoff, be better.

In Geoff’s defense, the lunch and learn was a good episode. However, this was a far cry from that and especially if they had stuck the original premise. That said I don’t think this belongs in the Worst Episode series

This episode ruined my life

If Geoff moves to Canada I'm gonna move to strike him (from the record or otherwise)

This was nowhere near the worst, you can't go wrong with Pile as a guest. I just re-listened to ep 5 the Orioles one & it's still one of the best IMO.

How are they still giving you resources. This ep was great but only for ME, I can assure you.

I completely and utterly agree with geoff this episode could have been way better. It would have been nice if casey, marika, pile were caught in a better mood i guess. Also, am I supposed to prefer casey doing a podcast ad instead of actual content, casey? how does that make sense. Also marika was trying at the end and she was entertaining me but geoff you didn't have to end that early. To me who casey is makes no sense. Also, the ads sounding like encyclopedia entries kept me in the "Study Hall Episode" theme which is actually pretty sad if you think about what that says about the guests but also it's really cool because now you can "Study Hall Episode 2" sometime in the future Im excited for that. Also this was the first time in If I Were You Podcast history where Things Got Real.

this podcast is bad, and that's... good?

I wish jake and amir were in the actual "headgum podcast"

sadly, this one did not make me laugh.

Early as always

Geoff seems like he really wants to be some sort of wizard of Oz of podcasts, but while he figures it out he makes a lot of embarrassing and derailing blunders 😅

23:07 ad ends

Geoff might be the most funniest individual ever. Does he do stand up?
