These videos have consumed us in the recent years and months, and we were so lucky to have them both on our show for another MMO Interview. We ask them about their origin stories where they both made the impossible leap from intern to on-air & on-screen talent. Then we dive into their writing and production processes, their many hidden talents, and a range of increasingly fun topics from their recent trip to the Sundance Film Festival to their ongoing debate over Timothee Chalamet to Reilly’s recent appearance on The Today Show & Carnegie Hall all the way to Geoff’s competitive yoyo’ing. They discuss how Jake & Amir run their company while wearing basketball shorts. Geoff dishes out his theory about the real life existence of Peter Salsbury. There are fist bumps done wrong, and they tease what’s coming next from Headgum videos. Finally, we ask them to pitch us their worst movies in an improvisational exercise we love to ambush upon all our guests. They do not disappoint.
