Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a head gum podcast. Welcome to the Museum of the Future. If everyone steps this way, on the right, you're going to see what we called a podcast in the 2000s. Any questions about that? Mm-hmm. What's a podcast? What's podcast? A podcast was several people standing around a microphone and screaming their thoughts and opinions and trying to be funny. All right, college.

And it's episode like 107 or something like that. So we're really trying to stretch it down. We're still finding our footing, but we're like 80 years in. So I have my footing and I'm standing on my X.
Starting point is 00:03:17 That's where my footing, I really found my footing. Ooh, which X? All of them. So you know, it's gonna be a good episode when we find a t-shirt idea in the first two minutes. Mm-hmm. How are you guys? What's the news?

Starting point is 00:05:03 ER I said what I said. And I meant what I meant. Also, in other big news for me, I am playing a video game, not right now, right now I'm super focused on this podcast. I am playing a couple of other things. We can see it in your glasses that you're fully playing over.
Starting point is 00:05:20 You both immediately have like, no, no, you play a video game right now. Takes. But I'm playing a game called Outer Wilds. Fantastic. So I've heard about that. It's good. It's so fun.
Starting point is 00:05:31 It's so fun. It's very immersive. You're in space. There's no combat. You're solving puzzles. It's like mystery. And it's not like traditional puzzles. It's like you're getting more information
Starting point is 00:05:40 about the games you go, oh. Well, how many JPCs would you give it? Well, the JPC ranking is really for food, so I'll have to come up with an equally upsetting ranking with JPCs for video games, and I say I'll give it 71 JPCs, which is the highest video games we've ever given a game.
Starting point is 00:05:57 And is it rated JPC? What am I trying to do here? JPCs? Take all the time you need, I don't. Okay, hold on. Yeah, I don't know. There's a joke in there somewhere. Jason, JPG. Take all the time you need. I don't, okay, hold on. Yeah, I don't know. There's a joke in there somewhere. This could be right.
Starting point is 00:06:07 This could be right here. This could be Adam's licking his pen and getting ready to finish. Okay, carry the one, okay. There's a joke in there somewhere would be a very good merch for us if we started selling min's underwear. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Ha, ha, ha, ha. Started, JBC, we've been selling min's underwear this whole time. in his underwear. Yeah. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Started. JPC, we've been selling men's underwear this whole time. I do every t-shirt that we make. I do that as underwear. I, the necklace of poophole and the arboros of the club. The necklace of poophole. JPC, how many JPCs would you give sobriety?
Starting point is 00:06:43 Oh, honestly. I was thinking about this earlier because we've been in lockdown now for six years and I was thinking about how much I am grateful that I don't have like booze or alcohol in lockdown because I feel like there would be a time in my life where I would have, that would be like a destructive trigger for me where, like the thing that I would do that day would be like, I'll just get drunk today and that will pass the time.
Starting point is 00:07:12 So I'm glad that that has not been an option for me. And if that, what I'm describing sounds at all listener like your life, you can go to church. And the battle chicken in Chicago. Yeah. I'm sorry, you think church is a chain chicken place is the best chicken in Chicago? Well, for the purpose of my joke, sure.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Okay, well, I mean, we gotta go to Roost, my friend. Roost has a vegan sandwich, vegetarian sandwich. Ooh, yeah, I was gonna say, I'm not gonna listen to you about your fucking chicken recommendation. Speaking of chickens, I was gonna say, I'm not gonna listen to you about your fucking chicken recommendation. Speaking of chickens, Adel, what's the news?
Starting point is 00:07:51 It's 11 o'clock, buck, buck, buck, buck. Um, buck, buck, buck. I don't know if I have any news on my hands, scanning systems. No, no news on my hand. Are there any news with you? Not really. I
Starting point is 00:08:07 rewatched a show I loved a lot growing up and it's my official favorite thing I've watched during quarantine. And that movie is it's a show. It's a TV show. It was on you. We watched the whole thing. Well, it is only six episodes. It's like hour long episodes each. It's a PBS show. No, stay with me. From 2002, please don't go. And it is. PBS Peanut Butter School? No.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Yeah. Just because you failed out of peanut butter school, it doesn't mean it's not valid. I can't, Aaron, I told you don't bring it up on the show. There are several lines that I have that you cannot cross. I heard you got it. We'll go there. I heard you got pulled out of peanut butter school
Starting point is 00:08:44 because your mom is choosy. Fine, we're gonna talk about my peanut butter school. Let's talk about Addles' Toe surgery. I've never heard of someone having a big toe that was too big. And then he got four extra toes. I'm sorry, we're just airing all of our dirty laundry. But then I sold that script to the fairly brothers
Starting point is 00:09:01 and it's gonna be a movie. Well, our brains are moving fast today. Is everyone caffeinated? What's the show we heard? It is a PBS show from 2002. It is a sort of reality TV before reality TV and it's called Frontier House. And I'm sure some of you watched it growing up.
Starting point is 00:09:23 It is a six part special. It is better six part special. It is better and more dramatic and more batshit and sane than any reality TV show I've ever seen. So it's three families who go and live like it's 1870 or whatever, like they're living on the frontier in Montana for four months. Three separate families, they live 10 minutes apart for four months and they live, like it's the 1800s and two of the families end up absolutely hating each other. Like a half-fields McCoy's?
Starting point is 00:09:53 It's a full-hat feels McCoy's. It is, you guys, you will cry laughing, you will cry, and you will like, recommend it to everyone you know. And I also think that PBS ended up having some like legal issues with the people who are on the show. So it's really hard to find. So I watched, we watched it like shitty YouTube quality videos of it because we were so addicted to it. But you can order the DVD online and I can't recommend it enough. Aaron started blowing your mind but speaking of amazing bad TV that maybe had legal issues you need to search down a TV show called kid nation. Oh my god, I guess kid nation. Oh, I'm glad you're back. Maybe the best rally show of all time, which is they take like 40 they take like 40 kids who are 15 years or younger. They put them in the wild west and the ghost town and they make them run the ghost town and compete for giant nuggets of gold and it's it's the most incredible
Starting point is 00:10:48 Thing that's ever been dedicated to film I've ever seen in my life. What year was this? This was probably 2000. Oh boy 2004 or something that may not be right, but it was it is Unbe and like one of the kids has to like do all cooking, and one of the kids has to wrangle the sheep and kill chicken. It's a 10 out of 10 and they never did it again. Well, it's so funny because there are kids like in two of the families on Frontier House, and then there's a newlywed couple
Starting point is 00:11:17 who they're the most charming dreamiest people in the world, he is a dreamboat. But the kids in the family are like super interesting and one gets super attached to a pig that they call JoJo Pumpkin and then they have to kill the pig. And then one of the couples get a divorce right after the show. They get a divorce right after the show. You guys, I can't recommend this enough. Do I need to send the DVDs to your houses? Send me the link or the DVDs please. I would love to do a firm review crew. I know it's on a mystery, but I'm telling you it is heaven. I love real ACV. And the new season big brother is about to start or has already started depending on when this comes out. So
Starting point is 00:11:54 I'm very excited. And well, August 5th, GPC, you are in charge of this episode. Any thing you want to get started with? Nope. Just a couple. Just, yeah. I am on charge, but I don't want to get started with anything. OK, Joe, Joe pumpkin. What's next? OK. OK, so we have been combing the bottom of the barrel. And by the bottom of the barrel, I do mean the bottom, because this is an email that we got in August of 2018.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Almost, it's August 15. So 10 days away from the two year anniversary of Travis sending us this email. Is your phone telling us? Travis doesn't know us anymore. Sorry, sorry, JPC, I had to do a quick good stop. So when you get to the bottom of the barrel instead of scraping it, you comb it.
Starting point is 00:12:39 It's a barrel of pomade. Okay, no further questions. It hits a barrel of hair. No. No. What could be more fun than a barrel of hair? It's like an Ipros new clothes, but with like a wine cast, which is a barrel of hair. I think barrel of hair is the new kids. You know, remember, remember Mr. Bucket, the Mr. Bucket, who's the book is going to my mouth? That should be the new Mr. Bucket is barrel of hair.
Starting point is 00:13:04 Okay, it's barrel of hair. I don't think it was balls going to my mouth? That should be the new Mr. Bucket is barrel there. Oh my God. It's barrel there. I don't think it was balls going to my mouth, but. Sure it was. The way I played. Okay, so Travis says, hey, OMP, Old Man Puzzles, GPC, here are some of my favorite riddies and pussies for you. And then, he said that, well, actually,
Starting point is 00:13:23 they said that most of these could probably be warm-ups. And it's coincidental because the word barrel isn't one of these. I think that we've done two of the three of these before, but just because we have, we'll go through them very quickly. We'll still get them wrong. What do you put in a barrel to make the barrel lighter? Light. Helium. No, the answer is hair. We'll still get them wrong. What do you put in a barrel to make the barrel later? Light. Helium.
Starting point is 00:13:48 No, the answer is hair. But it must be very blonde hair. Well, it's still a four-letter word that starts with H. It is whole. It is a whole. Okay, how far can you walk into a forest? Halfway. Halfway.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Halfway in this one. And then you realize he's run-nang. No. And this is the one that I don't think we've done before. But 30 white horses on a red hill. First they clamp, then they stamp, then they stand still. What are we talking about? I never know.
Starting point is 00:14:20 I never know. I never know. 30 white horses on a hill. Is this the government hill? Red hill. What's that? Is this the government capital hill? Hell yeah. White horses.
Starting point is 00:14:31 You got them. I'm scared of them. Let's list those 30 white horses right now. We've got. You genome meal. I know. It is not government. That is a good guess, man.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Can you read it again? 30 white horses on a red hill. they clamp then they stamp then they stand still 30 white horses. No the horses aren't real the horses are a metaphor. Okay. Why Carole heroin no, what'd you say? Harrowing white horse is what you call heroin. I think it's yeah, I think you do call heroin horse and How would you know that mister? yeah, I think you do call heroin horse. And how would you know that, Mr. Oh, did I tell you does the, oh, man, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Maybe I shouldn't tell this. Actually, I shouldn't tell this story. But can we keep this part in? Because I think it's important for listeners to hear you. Yeah, we should keep it. Not tell a terrible story. It is about heroin and it is not my story and it's a story from a person that I like so I won't tell a heroin story on the podcast because I think it would be a little too harrowing 30 white horses on a red hill you take one down pass it around glue
Starting point is 00:15:39 Is this something to do with? Well, I will say that so it is not. The story of removing all of the details, and this is why I knew that, this is when I found out that a horse was named for heroin, was a family member of mine caught someone doing heroin at their house, and the person's response was, what, it's just a little horse.
Starting point is 00:15:59 That's called a pony. That's called a Shetland Pony. A little heroin is called a mini horse. Okay. What could the red hill be out of? What are you thinking about? Red hill makes me think of like a pimple. No, but you're on the right track with like body.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Oh, the white horses maybe like teeth? Yes, Aaron. They not only are they maybe teeth, but 30 white horses are in fact teeth. They clamp, they stamp, and then they stand still. I love that one, Travis. I think we had maybe done or heard the first two before, but I don't know that I heard that one. So thank you so much, Travis. I've been seeing. Oh, also Travis is loving the podcast. So I would love Travis. If you're still listening, I'd love you to check in and just let us know
Starting point is 00:16:42 after about a hundred episodes. What are your thoughts? You still love it? Um, uh, JPC, you're an orthodontist, uh, Adel, uh, you are a kid and JPC is tightening your braces, uh, do it everyone. Yeah, so like I was saying, uh, you know, Mr. Mr. Wilson's been pretty rough on us in chemistry, but, uh, still, I still passed. So that's been good. Hey us in chemistry, but still I still passed, so that's been good. Hey, you know, chemistry is important.
Starting point is 00:17:07 I would not be in the chair that I'm in if it wasn't for a little oak chemistry in high school, kind of got my whole brain ticking in these sciences. I'm gonna keep tightening these and then you just tell me if they're getting too tight, okay? Okay, yeah, sounds good. You know, I like to, me and my family,
Starting point is 00:17:24 we like to call our teeth different animals, just because that's fun, it makes them more fun. Oh, is that fun? Yeah, I call my teeth doggies. I got 30 little doggies. Hmm, and their tails is wagging. Their tails is wagging? Yeah, too tight, too tight, too tight.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Okay, I was getting distracted. What do you mean their tails are wagging? Just means I need to brush them Excuse me, Dr. Wilson. Can I just see you over here for one second? Yes Okay, so I was going through the paperwork that is not a 13 year old boy. Okay, sorry 45 year old man Have you ever seen the movie The Orphan? Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:06 It's one of those situations. I've called it a point. The doctor required, this has happened to me again. Yes. And I'm sorry. And we'll either laugh or cry about this later, but you gotta keep them in the chair, okay? Sorry, can we hurry things up?
Starting point is 00:18:16 I'm double parked. Okay, can we not call the police? I feel like this is probably not a situation that it's appropriate for the police. Actually, you're right. Yeah. Maybe like a social worker or something. Or a mom calm on a minute.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Okay, so your little dogs are. You caught me petting my dogs. That's what I call it when I shop my hand on my mouth. Okay, well don't do that anymore. Your hand's filthy and what is that mud? Can I see a picture of your uncles? Yeah, let me get my billfold. Pull it out.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Oh, slower, pull it out slower. No, it's already out. I can't pull it out slower when it's already out. Wait a second. Why do you want to see a picture of my uncles? You're a little kid, aren't you? The fine little, the fine kid. No, you're passing both of those. See, 45 year old in a chair. Taking chemistry

Starting point is 00:19:56 Tidals? Let's get cozy. Okay, I'm going to put my pajamas on. Okay, let me, let me, uh, preheat the oven to 450. I would say I grab cookies, but that's not realistic. Of course, you have to bake cookies before you eat them, so I me preheat the oven to 450. I would say I grab cookies, but that's not realistic Of course you have to bake cookies before you eat them, so I'll Preheat the oven, don't, don't let me forget that the oven is on I've already forgotten
Starting point is 00:20:14 Because in about 10 minutes I need to put the cookies in and about 30 minutes will take them out That might be the after the episode is done, but don't let me forget. I'm already forgotten Okay, we're ready. I am wearing bed. I am real cozy and okay Okay, and if you wanted me to listen to anything that you were saying in the last two minutes I'm already forgotten. Can't believe we're in bed. I am, we're in bed. I am real cozy and I can't. I'm not. Okay, and if you wanted me to listen to anything that you were saying in the last two minutes, completely zoned out, this story is called,
Starting point is 00:20:33 Fatal Wise. Kevin had to die because he became more intelligent. Why? Kevin was he a robot? Oh, yeah, I love that. He got some like he like awakened into consciousness and then when he Developed what is it like empathy and like a personality and past the touring test we put him to death I just played Detroit becomes human, which is that in a game and it's had some troubling
Starting point is 00:21:02 Messaging in that game, but uh... Oh no. Overall, it looked fine. Um, Kevin, what was it? Kevin had to die because he became too smart. Kevin had to die because he became more intelligent. And there's a difference between intelligence and smart. None of us have to worry about this. No, we don't, we should be okay about this. Uh, I don't think that any of us are gonna have to die.
Starting point is 00:21:22 At all, hypothetically, if you had a robot butler who got too smart, would you kill it? Oh boy, I think I would become its butler and learn from it. Yeah, you immediately become the beta to something that becomes more powerful than you. You're really just immediately locked into it where you think you belong. I become the sub to his dumb. We sleep together, we have a good time. And I don't know, I guess I don't know much about the IQ scale, but I think that the IQ scale has been proven to be racist and classist. And I don't think that it's truly a measure of people's intelligence.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Don't tell anyone with a high IQ that, that's a- That's true. But, and this guy, I'll be fully transparent here. I do not know what the IQ scale is. Like, I don't know what is a number that's good. So what I'm gonna say is I'm gonna do on the count of three. I want you guys to tell me what you think your IQ is. Having done no research on what a good IQ number is. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Okay. One, two, three. 100%. 100. I was just saying, I'm not sure. Do you think that's why we like each other so y'all have the exact same IQ?
Starting point is 00:22:35 Holy shit, you guys, our stupidity finally synced up. All right, guys, our homework now is we have to take an IQ test. I don't think a hundred is good. I think a hundred is bad, but maybe it's good. I have no idea what the IQ scale or what the average IQ is, but anyway, I'm pretty dumb, but for one week a month, I'm meant to straight.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So I'm pretty smart. He finally worked out a joke. He's been scribbling on the paper like a madman. He's dumb, but the guy gets jokes. The guy knows jokes. I'm a janitor who comes into podcasts. You really do have that vibe. I leave jokes on the board and they're like,
Starting point is 00:23:19 who did this? That fucking rules. Okay, so I'll just give you the answer to this one. It's an absolute bummer, I will say. But the answer is, in the state of Virginia, in the USA, I think that this person may not be from the USA. Maybe they are, who knows. But Virginia USA, David was sentenced to death for murder.
Starting point is 00:23:38 However, the state could not execute him because his IQ was only 59 during his long stay in prison. He read and studied it past the time as a result, his IQ increased to 70, which was high enough to complete his execution. I didn't know any research to see if that is true of that, but it sounds like that is a true maybe fucked up law in Virginia. Oh, jeez. I'm going to say this is the worst riddle we've ever read.
Starting point is 00:24:02 But that's not your fault Fabian. You did good, thank you for sending them. This next one I like a little better. This next story is called The Beetle. A man lies with a beetle and an instruction manual. I gotta see a scene. So sorry. Thank you for apologizing.

Oh, did anything, did anything, any traces or anything, show up? No, technically I kicked the horse on my way in today. So it was a police horse that it was loitering,

Starting point is 00:40:54 I've been so lucky. We're repeating the same sentence. I've just kept saying, okay. Okay, cool. So we're going back to this book that we haven't been to in a minute, but it is this medieval puzzle book. Oh, fun. Yeah, this, we, we, I think we enjoyed the puzzles
Starting point is 00:41:10 when they were in this book. We didn't, they were bad, we didn't like them. If memory serves me, I actually did a pretty good job on these. Yeah. The, the, these were some like, Matthew puzzles and Adel refused to do them. So, yeah, but you can, after the minute I graduated college,
Starting point is 00:41:25 I refused to do math. So you can't make me, you can't force me to. And I did go through and I selectively removed all of the math problems so that we wouldn't do any more math riddles out of this book. But since Adel just ran his fucking math with the podcast, I'll throw one back in. Yay!
Starting point is 00:41:42 You know how against math I am? I won't even listen to some 41. But you love Blinky what did you do? Love Blinky what did you do? That's cause you don't have to see it. You're blanking. Yeah, that's how Blinky works. I don't know, my IQ is a hundred.
Starting point is 00:41:58 All right, someone has to tell us if that's a good IQ. This one, the title is equity. Ooh, I love that. Would the kid get snake it and poke it out his horse's eyes? Yes. That's where you see Daniel Radcliffe naked on tape. Harry Potter and the full Monty. The number four has fascinated theologians for centuries. Several cultures consider the number four to be extremely unlucky because their name for
Starting point is 00:42:26 the number is very similar to the word for death. It is a curious mathematical oddity that 2 plus 2 equals 2 times 2 equals 4. So 2 plus 2 is 4 and 2 times 2 is 4. 4 is the only number that can be obtained by adding a number to itself and also by multiplying the same number by itself. Forst the only one. However, there are many pairs of different numbers that can be both added and multiplied together to give the same answer.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Can you find the pair? So this is a pair of different numbers that both adds to and multiplies to 4.5. Okay, this sucks. I do want to say 4.5. 4.5. I do want to say, I doies to 4.5. Okay, this sucks. I do wanna say, 4.5. 4.5. I do wanna say, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:09 I do wanna say, while you were reading this, I came up with something pretty cool, which is if you take a four and turn it upside down, my man, you got yourself a chair. Sad down. Yeah, you do. I was doing the math in my head.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Is that even a negative number? No, Aaron, no. Or is that a whole? None's a negative number, none's zero, but one of them, I don't think you will be surprised to know is a fraction. A negative number, like a number that's like, no one's ever gonna love me.
Starting point is 00:43:36 My job sucks. Yeah, that's a negative. But what worked the number part in there? Instead of saying have a seat, you should say pull up a four. Because someone did with that came into a restaurant and it was like, there's a four top. I mean, I know it. You mean a 16 top?
Starting point is 00:43:54 What if you went to the circus and they said, come to our four top? You're like, oh, that's not very big. I know it. You know what? Yeah. What is it? It's 1.5 and 3.
Starting point is 00:44:04 Yeah. Damn, Aaron, IQ of 100 over here. If I can ace it. You know what? Yeah, it's 1.5 and 3. Yeah Damn Aaron I give you a hundred over here if I could ace it Scoops, scoops, scoops, scoops, scoops, scoops Aaron you got it absolutely right. It is 1.5 and 3 you both add them together and multiply them and you get 4.5 Hold on hold on two two people are right just now today If you take a four and turn it upside down, isn't that a chair? A cursive four?
Starting point is 00:44:28 No. How do you write numbers in cursive? Cursive four is just music. I know that doesn't make sense, but it will make sense to someone. If it does make sense to you, your IQ is also a hundred. So everyone in this,
Starting point is 00:44:42 and your main or keen in, and you see colors instead of numbers Okay roll out you guys ready for this rule ludicrous Fuck this is a ludicrous what no world is in that bag what you got in that case Okay, tell me who's your house keeper and what are you keeping your house? What about diamonds at all? Is that what you keep in your mouth? and what are you keeping your house? What about diamonds and gold? Is that what you keep in your mouth? That song used to be on the radio 24-7.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I know that it used to be on the radio 24-7 because I still remember a lot of the lyrics. Okay. God, what a good song. Okay, so one of the most important tasks I have for you, the innkeeper told his new seller, boy, is keeping track of how much ale and wine we have. He waved at the row of tall oak barrels along the seller wall.
Starting point is 00:45:29 You need to be able to tell me when I get to halfway down a barrel so I can start prepping its replacement. I don't want you using any filthy sticks in my beer mind. You can take the lid off and look, nothing more. Ah, don't look like that lad, telling halfway is easy. So with no measuring device available other than your eyes and no indicators inside a barrel, how would you work out when the barrel is half empty? I would, and I would quit this job because this may not have stood down to me and fucking
Starting point is 00:46:00 me. You're a seller boy, Adel. I'm sorry, but... If you're going to be a botler to your botler, you better get used to being and fuck him. You're a seller boy, Adel. I'm sorry, but. If you're gonna be a butler to your butler, you better get used to being a seller boy. Adel, you don't get more bottom than seller boy. You are the bottom of, you're not even a man, you're a boy. And you're not even like a regular part
Starting point is 00:46:18 of a house you're in the seller. You are a seller. You're a basement man, you're a seller boy. Buy, seller, buy, seller. Adic man, addict king and seller boy. Buy, seller, buy, seller. Attic man, addict king and seller boy. That's my riddle. It's like, addict king in the evenings, seller boy in the board.
Starting point is 00:46:31 You know, I think if I was in medieval times and I had sex, I'd be a seller bottom. I would not have sex in the medieval times. Number one, this smell. Number two, I would certainly get pregnant right away. Number three, oh, I definitely don't want to give childbirth during, uh, give birth to a child during the medieval times. Number four, um, can't watch TV after. Can you imagine, hold on, can you, um, can you, uh,
Starting point is 00:46:57 for his four? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Can't watch TV after beat child mortality rates. Number five, I don't want to fall in love. Can you imagine trying to have sex? Number six, I'm not ready. Let's keep doing this. Can you imagine trying to have sex and someone's like,
Starting point is 00:47:14 oh, thank God, I'm so horny. Oh, thank God, Lord, I have sex with you. I'm gonna come. I killed chickens all day long and now I'm ready come. I can't check in, you'll die long, and now I'm ready for sex. This is closer to Ringo than my Ringo. That's true. I wanna see a scene.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Two of you are a medieval couple and you have, I don't wanna put you in a situation where you just had sex, because that's weird. So let's say that you are your two medieval women talking about how hard it is to have sex in the medieval times. I think it's how long you text to get on dress that gets me. Oh, Carolyn, there are no men around.
Starting point is 00:48:01 We can, we could dodge, we don't have to do that. There are no men around. Hey, trust me, I know. I'll use that voice as well because There are no men around we can we could that we don't have to do that there are no I Hey trust me. I know I use that voice as well because If I do that my husband's like I'm gonna sleep in the other room. So I I do sorry Did someone say husband knock? Oh Sorry, sorry, sorry, I said anything Yeah, sorry, sorry, sorry, anything Yeah, I can't forget to put this in the check in from the box can't listen to this much more on and head out
Starting point is 00:48:29 Bye, cannot cannot Can't be sorry just really hard to go back into it. So I like it's like I know you're a surf but have some ambition You know like oh my god. Yeah, surfs up He's just bids it all day surfing up there. Oh Can't stand it. I don't... Carolyn, have you ever thought about this? Have you ever thought, like, why don't we just, you know, we get along so well, I like
Starting point is 00:48:54 you. Why don't we cut the men out of the equation? I will say, my favorite part of the day is when I get to brush your hair for an hour. Because that's how a lot of takes. Well, we... There are no barbers. There's nothing to cut, so it's just been growing since I was a little girl, and now I'm a grown woman, and I'm 15 maybe. This is truly a terrible time. Wait, he's coming back, he's coming back. No, hold on, let me be 18. He's coming back, he's coming back.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Oh, uh, wiped out. Pretty good, uh, pretty big wave. I made you some porridge from my strong man who's away from his surfed up. Actually, I'm gonna go hit the waves. I'm gonna go hit the waves again. I'm gonna go hit the waves. I'm gonna go hit the waves. I'm okay, I'll live. You sealed. I would love to keep talking, but my throat is bleeding, so I'm gonna need a minute. See? Oh, yeah. That kills us.
Starting point is 00:49:46 That's how we die. All right, I got some questions about your little riddle, JPC. Okay. Do you like listen and knock on the thing to see like here? The slide is. Oh, that's a great question. No, so you are only using site.
Starting point is 00:50:00 You are only using site, you're not using any knocking or auditory things. So you can't, you can't like measure beforehand and then put like a little marker like inside the barrel. No, no dirty sticks in my barrel. But it could be on the outside of the barrel. What, yeah, I don't know that it's, it's, it does not involve the answer to this does not involve using a marker But I don't think a marker on the outside of the barrel and is he say no no dirty sticks in my barrel or no dirty dicks in my barrel It's it's too hard to say it's actually you literally just double check. I can't say that was real It's too hard to say what if you tap it at the halfway point and if it's like dripping out all the time,
Starting point is 00:50:49 you're not halfway there and if it stops dripping out, just ignore me. Just shove me out. Oh, oh, you're saying put the tap at the halfway point of the barrel, right? So that's a really good suggestion, but no, they're in the medieval times, so let's assume that there are no taps, and they're just ladling it out of the top of the barrel. Could you just lie? I like that answer. Always an option.
Starting point is 00:51:15 You could just lie. You would get fired if you do, and you are a seller boy, and this is the best job that you'll ever get. So this is your only chance at happiness. So it's Cite alone, though? It's Cite alone. Can you give us another hint? So yeah, so you can take the lid off and look, nothing more.
Starting point is 00:51:36 So it's Cite alone. You can only determine the only way to determine if it is halfway full is by sight, but you can also still touch the barrel. You can manipulate the barrel in another way. So you can turn it upside down. Well, yes, if you want to just lose all the liquid, if you want to dump it out, if you're done with the barrel,
Starting point is 00:51:57 I know. You don't have to barrel. Yes. You turn it like this way horizontally, and then half is still half. You have hit the nail on top of the head, which is the exact right hand. Oh my God, are you okay?
Starting point is 00:52:10 Oh my God, Adelaide put a nail in JBC's head, help me. No, no, it's good. My IQ, I feel like it's rising. I feel like maybe there was something bad in my brain that caused me to do all the police horse stuff and like the ghosts chickens. And can I just say, I just love Tom Hardy and IQ rising. But yes, you guys are doing all the jokes.
Starting point is 00:52:30 He's figuring it out. If you tip the barrel on its side just until the liquid inside touches the rim and then look in, the bottom of the barrel is visible at all. It's more than half empty. But if you tip it to the side and any of the barrel side is hidden, then it's more than half full. And if the liquid exactly reaches the joint, like if it's even on the joint, then you know it's exactly at half. But that is correct, for the most part.
Starting point is 00:52:54 I kind of did it. You got there. You got really close and that you basically got it. Aaron, in my eyes, you're a goddamn superstar. Thank you. I'm sorry I called you a seller boy. Wait, you did? Fuck you. eyes, you're a goddamn superstar. Thank you. I'm sorry. I called you a seller boy. Wait, you did? Fuck you. No, you're an addict king. You're an addict king. Not an addict king. You're an addict king.
Starting point is 00:53:14 Addle this next riddle is named after you. The title of this riddle is podcast star. Ooh, I'm kidding. It's idiot. I've owned Pulsak. You're drunk. Oh, I'm kidding, it's idiot. Oh, I want to suck your drum! So, the village of Wichurch was home to a particularly celebrated idiot. He was well known throughout the region for always having the wrong idea about money. You see, whenever he was offered his choice of two coins, he would inevitably take the
Starting point is 00:53:41 lowest value one, and then cvort off, utterly delighted with his erroneous choice. One clergyman, in particular, had trouble understanding why the fool behaved the way he did. He tried an entire range of combinations on the man, testing coins of different sizes, ages, and even shininess. Although the poor Redshin'd have no idea of the meaning of value, he still somehow managed to always take the option that would leave him worse off. In the end, the clergyman was able to rule out the coins weight, thickness, diameter, color, luster, and even age as the factor that made the idiot invariably descend on the offering of lesser value. It certainly wasn't just a bismuth bad luck.
Starting point is 00:54:21 So, how come the fool always took the less valuable coin? I can't see inside of man's head. I don't know his reasonings. Well, you can if you tip him halfway, and then you can see. Oh, okay, and then put a nail in the mouth. Vision hole. Also, this riddle,
Starting point is 00:54:38 shout out to the Shark Tank, but I was playing a video game and this riddle was featured in that video game. And it's near a, near a tomato, this riddle was in that game. And when I read this riddle, I was like, oh, holy shit, that was in that video game. It jogged my memory. Well. So why does this person, how does this person always take the lower value coin? How come they always seem to take the less valuable of the coin? You can offer this person any two coins and they'll always take the less valuable one.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Is it the way that it's presented to him, like the person who's giving it to him, like you can tell that they wanna hold on to the more valuable coin? No, everyone genuinely, I think, is offering an even trade, like they could take either coin. And it's not like wait or scratchiness or anything like that. It's not weight thickness, diameter, color,
Starting point is 00:55:29 luster, or even age. And it has nothing to do with the metal it's made out of? It does not have to do with the metal that it's made out of, correct. You guys are asking all the right questions and you're really gonna get us there. So let's see, what else could be going on here? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Mm-hmm, can we get a hint? Um, boy oh boy, let me see. Does it have something to do with the actual coins or does it have something to do with like the idiots reasoning? Or it has everything, it has everything to do with the reasoning. Okay, so what do idiots like the idiots reasoning or everything. It has everything to do with the reasoning. Okay.
Starting point is 00:56:06 So what do idiots like? Um, idiots like dogs named spaghetti, girlfriend name, Ryan. Call it duty, man. Warfare. Um, that's Tiaski. Hmm. What is going on? It's, it's his reasoning, but it has nothing to do with how it's presented.
Starting point is 00:56:25 It doesn't have to do with anything that, yeah, that's how it's presented. So let me read this part again. It's in the village of Whitchurch. It's home to a particularly celebrated idiot. He's well known throughout the region for always having the wrong idea about money. Whenever he was offered his choice of two coins, he would inevitably take the lowest value one and then covert off utterly delighted with his erroneous choice.
Starting point is 00:56:51 It's not like an animal, he's a man. He's a man. If there's nothing about the physical factors of the coin, I don't understand how he could tell. I don't know, this is stumped me. This is how they sound, how they. Call me a cut down tree, because I am cut down. All right, well here.
Starting point is 00:57:11 I'll give you a hint. Put yourself in this idiot shoes. Ah! Ah! What, the shoes are painful to you. What? The shoes do what? I only make it with different seconds. I choose to hot. I only microwave different 10 seconds.
Starting point is 00:57:26 I choose, I choose. The box says 10 seconds. You know when you like sitting in a spot on a couch or someone was just sitting in a twirmer, saying what shoes? That's why they call them case-wiss because you have to melt them in the oven the microwave for 10 seconds before you wave them.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Um, whoah, boo. Too hot. Whoah Who boo. I so we put we put ourselves in this idiot shoes. What do we do? Someone comes up and they offer you the choice of two coins. Okay, now I can now what fucker. I can give you the answer if you really want it.
Starting point is 00:58:01 If you think you guys deserve it. Yeah, this is this really stuff. This is a great riddle because I'm a little bit lost. So it's a little bit of a tricky language because it's called idiot and they referred him as an idiot in a fool multiple times in the riddle, but the quote unquote idiot knew perfectly well that as soon as he took the more valuable coin, people would lose interest and stop giving him money. But until then, people would just keep giving him money.
Starting point is 00:58:26 So this guy actually knew the value of the coins. He would always take the lowest value one so that people would be more encouraged to be like, try this stupid guy out. Oh, he was a genius. Yeah, we guess I guess, I guess secret genius. We couldn't get it because we're not secret geniuses ourselves. We're very, very openly public idiots.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I mean, let me just say something. If you dedicate 90 days to being the town celebrity and you make a dollar 13 over 90 days while pouring all your time and energy into that, you're not a fucking genius. This is medieval times. And with inflation, a dollar 13, this guy'd be Jeff Babesos today.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Let me ask you this,, I wanna see a scene. At all, we are all going to be three friends hanging out and we're gonna be talking about ordering a pizza. But you keep being in favor of ordering the shittiest pizza possible, cool? Great. What do you guys think of like pepperoni? Cottage cheese.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Sorry, did you sneeze? What just happened? Cut his cheese on the pizza. Oh, Jeff, we're having pizza. Yeah, here's what you do. We tell them we want the thickest crust possible. We want a base, no marinara sauce, we want a base of cut his cheese, and then we want nutmeg on top.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Wait, I'm sorry, the base is not, you don't even have sauce. The cut his cheese is really good. Yeah, no marinara, no all friday,, we want cottage cheese and then nutmeg on top. Yeah, Jeff, I know we're all working late tonight and this is just the Domino's app. So I don't know unless you had a different pizza place in mind that kind of does more specialty stuff or... What's your second choice of pizza, Jeff?
Starting point is 01:00:00 Yeah, what's your second, let's go something that maybe everyone can enjoy so a nice neutral, like a your second let's just let's go something that maybe everyone can enjoy so like a nice like a neutral like a default second choice Okay, I sausage and mushrooms I would do melted popsicle Did you sneeze again Say what Sagan popsicle and now I got to know is that the base the sauce the cheese or the topping? Tell me it's not the crust. You have them, you have them not make anything out of dough,
Starting point is 01:00:27 you have them, melt a popsicle, put that into a pizza pan, melt a popsicle, pour it into a pan, re-freeze it, top that with cilantro, put it in the oven, and then ship it over to us. Okay, again, ship it over to us. So she is just like an international chef. Again, we're using the dominant sauce.
Starting point is 01:00:44 So it's melted juice with cilantro in it. Yeah, I don't I'm sorry Maybe I'm sorry, maybe I'm in it, but I don't understand the problem Third choice. Yeah, maybe something Jeff that those are great. Those are great. Maybe like solo pizza ideas for just you or when you're with your family But let's try to think of something that everybody maybe can have a couple slices of that we would all maybe enjoy eating a couple Oh a couple slices. Oh, okay craft cheese maybe enjoy eating a couple of oh a couple of slices Oh, okay craft cheese craft singles. Okay, sort of so that so cheese. That's good That's the cheese, right? We love the idea. So why don't we just do a cheese Jeff would you eat just a cheese pizza? I would eat just cheese Okay, okay, so you you want us to just order cheese from Dav? Yeah. Well, maybe they can put it in a little cup for you.
Starting point is 01:01:29 Okay. Okay. I think I have it. Okay. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't guarantee you don't tell them. Tell them. Tell them. I admittedly, I feel like a fool, but because of, you know, I have to admit, for this one we would have to call them and not use the app. We would have to call them. So we start with gingerbread. Does that make sense? Okay. Yeah, we're with you so far. Okay, then we do marzipan, fondant, skittles. You say fondant like fondant?
Starting point is 01:01:57 Fondant, okay. Skittles, okay, we do some rosemary, some sage, okay. We top that with the seedee. Okay. And then we put pants on it. We put pants on it. Sure. What seedee?

This one is this one, the title of this riddle is called Riddle Me Re. Riddle Me Re. Ever speaking, still awake. Please most, when most I speak, the delight of old and young, though I speak without a tongue. Not but one thing can confound me many voices joining around me. Then I fret in rave and gabball, like the laborers of babble. I can bleat or I can sing like the worblers of the spring. Let the lovesick bard complain and I mourn the cruel pain. Let the happy swain rejoice and I join my helping voice. Though a lady I am stout,

Much I dread the courtiers' fate when his merits out of date for a hate a silent breath and a whisper is my death. Ha, want one pack? Bring those star. Is it I want to suck your drums and trumpets?
