There is nothing that makes the discovery of the origins of Geedis a pressing issue. Nate: So I just posted on Twitter a picture of the pin and said, "What the f word is Geedis." And then my life has changed from there, so…īen: Yelling into the void also didn’t get answers at first. Finally, Nate started yelling into the void. A couple of other Geedis pins popped up and Nate bought those too. The eBay seller was just selling a bunch of stuff they’d acquired from someone they didn’t really know who had died. Nate: You know, for some reason I thought that if I bought them it would help me find answers.Īmory: But it didn’t. And I don't know why, but I requested to buy them in bulk.īen: You’re trying to corner the Geedis market! I get it. And then I asked him if he had any more Geedis pins. And then I messaged him and I asked him if he knew what Geedis was. Nate: And then after I bought it the user put another one up on eBay. The eyes, they just go right through you.īen: So, obviously, Nate bought the Geedis pin. Because it's just such a stark image looking at it. Nate: I couldn't stop thinking about Geedis. Also, nothing on the internet about a character as weird and oddly nostalgic as this one? And then I just keep thinking of Geedis and I was like wait, what is Geedis? So I typed it into Google and not a single result came up for Geedis.īen: Nothing on the internet, which never happens. Nate: In my head, my first reaction was, “Oh a Geedis pin, cool.” And I keep scrolling. He's a little mischievous, like maybe his big, goofy smile is all a ruse.

He's kind of in a sitting position and has a very big smiley face on him, a little bear-like, a little ewok-like. The front legs are longer than the back legs.

And it says "Geedis" on it.īen: Can you describe what it looks like for us? I got one that says, “Work sucks but I need the bucks.” There’s just all sorts of just random slogans on pins and then I'm scrolling through and I see this little critter.
WATCH THUNDERCATS CRACK
I bought one that said, “I'm so horny even the crack of dawn looks good,” because it was just so strange. And I clicked over to their profile to see what else they had and there were just thousands and thousands of vintage pins. Nate: I found this one user who had a couple of these very old 70s or 80s enamel pins. Which brought him, naturally, to the legendary treasure trove of enamel pins: eBay. He just knew that he liked to collect enamel pins of his favorite bands. Like all great quests, our protagonist had no idea his quest was about to begin. I currently write for The Late Late Show With James Corden.īen Brock Johnson: And in 2017, Nate was about to embark on a quest. I live in Los Angeles by way of Boston, New York and Chicago.
