It's our 50th EPISODE! This week we celebrate a podcast milestone with none other than Mr. Headgum Himself, Amir Blumenfeld. He takes us through the journey of coming to the valley of Los Angeles from Israel as a young kid to becoming a relentless prankster in 2001. We put some of Amir's abstract theories to the test and hear the Norm MacDonald joke he used as his senior quote. Plus... a Classmate's Corner that opens discussion about how teenagers lie for clout!   You can listen to Amir on these other excellent podcasts: "If I Were You", "Buckets", and "The Headgum Podcast".   Knock ..read more

Fellow Headgum podcaster Emily Gonzalez joins the podcast to talk about how un-formative (but later revealed to be formative) high school was for her. She describes it as "doing high school", but having a lot going on on the side. From having a long-distance Summer camp boyfriend to being a full-time ballerina, and taking pretty much only AP classes at an academic magnet school.. there is a lot to unpack! Plus, a chillingly passive aggressive teacher is submitted to Classmate's Corner.   Listen to Emily's Headgum podcast that recaps horror films, Too Scary; Didn't Watch!   Knock Knoc ..read more

Writer, actor, and producer Tommy Do joins Greta this week to talk about his love for Paris Hilton, his addiction to driving around and hitting trash cans in high school, and growing up as a competitive figure skater. In a twist we rarely see, he even thanks his high school bully in the Guidance Counselor's office.

Creator and pop-culture connoisseur Tefi Pessoa joins Greta this week to talk about growing up in Miami and not feeling represented properly on TV so she tried to fit in and be as blonde as possible, as fast as possible. Back then she loved celebrity news (and still does!), met her boyfriend of 9 years in biology class, and had her school receptionist friend make her prom dress. Her first boss was the infamous Kelly Cutrone and you'll never guess what she used to call Tefi... or maybe you will, it's not that out-of-character!   To see Greta in NYC on July 27th go to https://www.event ..read more

Media queen and writer Alison Rosen joins Greta this week to bond over music they may, or may not, have known and having frenemies. In a groundbreaking turn of events, Alison is the first person to ever pick a Nirvana song as their intro song on the show!
