Starting point is 00:00:00 This is ata Rify. JPC. And Aaron Keith, are we sticking to that? Still? Our names? Yeah, I would like to change my name. I would like to change my name. I love to him in my name. I would like to go by Aaron Kief now.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yeah. But didn't you already, you legally changed your name? Yes, I did. We know the word Aaron Kief. We know your last name was Pitman. But we don't know your first name. I'll die with that secret. Was it stupid?
Starting point is 00:00:59 Yeah, stupid Pitman was my name. I got mercilessly bullied and so I changed it. It's just a preview of the sweet sweet content. Here I find on this show, first name is David. We are doing another mailbag episode where we read listener submitted riddies and pussies. We do that anytime we have a special guest in the studio, we did that last time with Arnie and you camp. And today we even have a more special guest.
Starting point is 00:01:24 Whoa. Do you think that's gonna hurt Arnie's feelings? I hope it does. I hope it does. He is the host of a new podcast. New podcast is what we're calling podcast. At the end of the day. At the end of the day. Just to give it a little more regal feel. He's the host of the podcast. The empty bowl, which he should check out. He's one of the co-hosts of my brother, my brother, and me, one of the co-hosts of the Adventure Zone. He also does a podcast called Sobones, which is amazing.
Starting point is 00:01:51 He's a New York Times bestselling author with the Adventure Zone graphic novel, TV show, my brother, my brother, and me. What am I missing? A Trolls 2, Recent Trolls 2, Voice of the Legend. Yeah, I recorded that. Just got that down. The Sabons book and fine book stories everywhere. October 9th.
Starting point is 00:02:09 I pre-ordered my copy. You should do the same. If you haven't guessed by now, it's Mr. Justin McAroy. Hi. What an honor. Please, it's Kevin. Well, Kevin, it's great to have you on the podcast. This is Stu's head and I'm Aaron. Nice. I like that of all of the hosts. The guest host is the one who committed to the bit of having the name Kevin and us three idiots stuck to our real names.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Eric, we should get a t-shirt that says I'm with Stu, but the like it'll make her. Justin, thank you so much for being on the show. Yeah, it is my pleasure. I've been enjoying the show so far. I love brain teasers in a way that is pretty lame. Like, I went after our daughter was born and we were stuck in the NICU for a week, and I actually bought a bunch of lateral thinking puzzles to like, so just when my wife was really at her wits end, I would swoop in to lift her spirits with a good old fashioned like the termites were
Starting point is 00:03:05 eating his cane the whole time great. Our lives are right down the toy. That's strategy. That paid off, right? That was a winning strategy. I mean, we got through it. I guess it distracted her for sure. I wish it wasn't in anger.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Yeah, it flipped her into a rage. Do you incidentally get upset at Rudy's and Puzzies? Is that is that something like the typical like these are so bad? Um, you know, do you know, this is actually like something that I know you all have experienced going into this is like, you give your heart over to a good read or pussy and you just hope that it is going to be true to you. Yeah you and it is not going to break your heart. And I wish there was some way of like,
Starting point is 00:03:48 there should be labels on on Reddy's and Puzzies. Like hey, this one, it's not gonna pan out for you. I will say, this is not gonna come together. We actually just did a, an adventure zone, we worked on a vitro zone project with the the mysterious package company, which does these like mailing stories like they mail narratives basically they have a bunch of puzzles in them and it was so nice for wants to be the riddle master, the puzzle master, I know all the
Starting point is 00:04:23 solutions, yes, recorded audio for them, I'm the king of them, but puzzle master. I know all the solutions. Yes, I've recorded audio for them. Ah, I'm the king of them. But yeah, I love riddles and or puzzles. Well, maybe what we'll do in this episode specifically is I'll let for any pussier ready that's gonna be upsetting. I'll call it a heartbreaker. So I'll be like, this one's a heartbreaker.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Because we have the same thing where it's like, you see the analogy I'm gonna poorly use is that you see a glint of white in the sand. I can't wait to destroy this analogy. You see a glint of white in the sand and you start to brush it away and you're like, okay, there's a femur, then you see another glint and you start to brush it away
Starting point is 00:04:54 and you're like, there's a jawbone, there's a tailbone, and you're slowly uncovering. Wait, I'm sorry, you brushed away a jawbone, and a tailbone? Was this a dinosaur that died eating ass? Please? Of course. That's how I'm gonna start. That's a mass extinction.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Astonction. Oh, I should've said astonction. No, too late. Oh, take it. But as you're slowly uncovering the fossil and the earth slowly unirthing it and desanding it, then at the very end, you think you have the full picture in view, and then suddenly it's just altering the goo.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Duh. That and that. That's just altering the goo. I love you. No way. I thought it was pretty good. I got it. There's the first puzzle. Well, I've given myself a riddle of bottomy and I just feel nothing. I just know they're going to break my heart and I'm like, no, forget it. You can't hurt me because you can't get close to me.
Starting point is 00:05:43 I'll never love another riddle. Here we go. Let's go ahead and start. This first one is from Marty Piper. Marty sent us a riddy that says, there is one word in the English language that when you add an S, it becomes plural. And when you add another S, it becomes singular again. What is it?
Starting point is 00:06:02 So not so much as a Puzzier Ritty as an English lesson. Yeah, that's so much fun as it is. Trying to pick one word out of the entire English lesson. So guys, let's simplify. Let's make this an abattoir to scroll down. Think of all the words in the English language. Got it. Add an S. Now add another S.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I actually... Classic Rassets. Sit. I don't know. And the answer is Viper because if you had one S, you have vipers and if you had two s's you have vipers Correct. I'll take my check So one s in its singular two s's in its plural no no no you add one s So it's a word with no S in it you're sure I'm sure okay
Starting point is 00:06:41 There's no S in the word then you add one S and it becomes plural You add a second S and it becomes singular again does one of the S's go at the beginning or the end? They're both at the end Justin. You say you got it. Oh, yeah, it's Nipe and IPE you add one S It's Nipes which is plural. Mm-hmm. There's S it's snipes. There's one Wesley's Okay, so Justin got that one, he gets the point. We are, this is, who's like, is it anyway, style keeping track? So you get one point. I'll give you a hint and then we'll move on.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Okay, the hint is spin doctors. Ah. So that was born in the early 90s. Then you would nail this. The word is two. Two and two. Prince. The word is prince.
Starting point is 00:07:34 You had an answer, it becomes princess, you had two answers, it becomes princess. Dang it. Aaron still looks deeply confused. I know I'm just mad. Aaron, the spin doctors were a band from the 90s, 2000s that had a song called Two Princess. And it went, I'm the one who wants a bit of bitty with you, something like that. Yeah, I went, I'm the one who wants a bit of bitty with you. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:07:55 With two Princess Dan before you. Just go ahead now. I know that. Yeah. Oh dear. That's the words. Where am I saying the same words for a man. So now it's a song that should be called
Starting point is 00:08:09 just go ahead now, but was miraculously called Two Princess. That was in every movie for a while. Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure. It still is if there's like a flashback scene in a movie, like that's the song that queues you into. It's the movie.
Starting point is 00:08:21 The early 2000s, maybe late 90s, who knows? Here's one that's a little bit of fun. It's not a lot of fun. It's a little bit of fun. This is from Taylor Mushhtair. I'm sorry, the last name is Mushhtair. I think so. Are you looking at a picture of her sitting in Taylor?
Starting point is 00:08:35 Don't make fun of that, Sarah Fan. What is that the rule? Taylor says, Susie works as a butcher's assistant. She is six feet tall and wears size eight shoes. What does she weigh? I know this one. Is it meat? Meat.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It is meat. Yeah. Kind of just a fun little job. It's fun because it kind of sets you up to guess a woman's weight, which is a cool trap. Which is a cool trap to put people at. Fun fact, good parties. This is from Brenda Ochoa.
Starting point is 00:09:06 A man throws his stick across the river. It doesn't say a stick, it says his stick. A man throws his stick across the river, and his dog goes to retrieve it on the opposite bank. The dog returned only a few minutes later. How is it possible that the dog returned dry? A man throws his stick across the river. The dog goes to retrieve it on the opposite bank.
Starting point is 00:09:26 The dog returned only a few moments later. How is it possible this dog return dry? Okay, so are we saying that the dog did not stop at a bar on the way back and get triggered up? He didn't fall off the wagon. Wow. Kudos to the dog five years. I assume.
Starting point is 00:09:42 He got his token. Is it canoe dog? The dog with a canoe? It's a half-tell made with canoe dog. It's really, really. It was canoe dog. I would have fucking said it's canoe dog. Legally, legally.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It's a classic bable of canoe dog. We all love Sunday paper morning cartoon. canoe dog. Old man puzzles, are we allowed to ask some questions to this? Because I feel like there's one burning question that would simplify this whole thing. I'll answer some yes or no. Is there a bridge involved in this?
Starting point is 00:10:10 No. Is the bank a bank where you get money? No. How can you read the exact text? I would like to ask some specific wording questions. A man throws his stick across the river, his dog goes through, and he retrieved it on the opposite bank.
Starting point is 00:10:24 The dog returned only a few moments later. How is it possible that the dog returned dry? The dog didn't have the stick. Nope. The dog got the stick. Well, then why doesn't it say it in the riddle? That's insane. JPC, you're getting your heart broken. Here's what I'll say. Based on all the goofs and gags we've had so far,
Starting point is 00:10:44 all the giggles and bits we've had, Justin is the closest with canoe dog. I can't believe he's the closest with canoe dog. This is a dumb riddle and I'm out. The specific wording of he threw his stick reminds me, I was driving in the car with a friend once and he was driving, there's a van full of people who a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a Why would you point that out? Everyone has it on the table. Let's do this. While we're pondering this, just...
Starting point is 00:11:28 Pond! That's the answer. Are you giving us a clue? Oh, no, I ruined it. I pooch the deal. Justin, do you mind doing a little bit of role-playing? You pick the wrong podcast if you mind doing role-playing. He sighs like I sigh when I ever be saying anything.
Starting point is 00:11:44 Kindred spirits. Just do you do you mind if you do a little role play? They say we cannot move on until we get verbal consent to do that role play. Awesome. Justin let's have you be this man who's, you're gonna be a canoe dogs owner and you're training a JPC, you're gonna play canoe dog, you're training canoe dog to do what canoe dog means to do. So we take you to the great white North. No, see, you're hot to hold the paddle.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Huh? Dog, you've tested my patients for the last time. Yeah, I know you don't have thumbs. You've made it real clear over the past few months, dog. Listen, you pick up the paddle. Okay, you walls. I swear to God, I'm sorry. Richard, I'm here to go. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. Ray, I swear to God. my dog doesn't do anything. I heard word that your dog can talk.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Plank, plank, plank. Ow! Oh no, Richard. All right, quick. You keep quiet. You don't say a word about this. Help me roll the bodies in the canoe, Richard. I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Shum, sink, play, play, play. Good, good, good, good, good. Was that you kicking back a thing at whiskey? And see. The funniest part of that is a dog named Richard. The perfect guy. Dogs with people, names. I love Justin that you shouted, my dog can talk.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And then in the moment there's interest, my dog can't do anything. Well, he threatened my life. No, that's, I did. You were right. No, you were right. OK, good's, I did. You were right. No, you were right. Okay, good. I knew there was an answer to the improv. I don't want to do it with that, right?
Starting point is 00:13:50 No, you know that. As with improv, there is a right and wrong answer. So any thoughts on what the answer to this, but? Is there, this is stupid, but all rils are stupid. Yes. Is there water in the river? Because otherwise, I mean, I know it would be a valley, probably otherwise, but there's water in the river, right?
Starting point is 00:14:07 There is water, but it's ice. It's ice. It's ice. Nice. He got me there. Nice. It's Canada. The river was frozen.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I like that they can't even just say the river was frozen. You actually hinted to that to the North. Yeah, exactly. I blew it several times. Oh, and the stick is a stick of dynamite because they're ice fishing. And the dog grabbed the lit dynamite and blew up. No.
Starting point is 00:14:32 Oh, no, okay. Very good riddle. And I get it now. Good boy Richard. Adela, I can't believe you passed up an opportunity to play a dog. I've done a thousand improv shows with you and I've never not seen you play a dog who could talk. My go-to character, Justin and improv, is like a asshole dog.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Who usually pulls out a cigarette and starts to smoke it. I love that. A lot of attitude sounds like. Oh, a title too. And also, I think last episode or a few episodes ago, we decided that our mascot for the podcast is going to be Ritty Kitty, who's a kitty who puts on human clothes and join the workforce. But I feel like Knew Dog is an equally good mascot.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yeah, someone please draw Knew Dog. And if the Ritty Kitty episode hasn't come out, just a peek behind the curtain, the way that we select episodes is we take them all, we jump them up in our hands, we throw them up in the air, and then we all scramble for which one we post on it first. That's how I test out riddies. I throw them against the wall and they stick like spaghetti. They're good. Spaghetti and pussies. Here we go. This one's from Autumn. Autumn says, and this is going to be a bit of a longer one, so hold on. I hope it's a long autumn. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:15:44 Please don't. It's a bit of a hard summer for me personally. There is a green glass door. Only certain things can go through the door. Here's a list of things that can go through the green glass door. No. Oh.
Starting point is 00:15:57 I'm be telling this right now. Hold, if this is a rental that's going to require me to write something down, I'm all, I'm already out. Should we write this down? Is it going to be worth writing down? No, I think we can mentally catch it with our mental net here. Okay, well you think we can. Justin, your veto cannot go through the door. Like here's what can go through the door. Alama, a ball, feet, grass, a goose, Minnesota, root beer. grass, a goose, Minnesota, root beer.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Here's a list of things that cannot go through the door. A mouse, people, hand, dirt, duck, Texas, and soda. I think I know a puppy can go through, but not a dog. I think I know a kitten can go through, but not a cat. A poop can go through, but not a shit. Double letters, double letters, baby. Yeah. Double letters, double letters. Is it double letters?
Starting point is 00:16:51 Is it the New Justin Bieber? It is not what you expect. And a lot more sort of like, swells rock and inspired. Double letters. That's double letters, yeah. Is the answer double letters, Adam? It was. It didn't take as long as I thought it would.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Are you mad? Adels mad that we didn't struggle with that. No, I thought we just have fun with it, but we didn't. I also think that might just be his face. I have, no, so many people come up to me and are like, is everything okay? And I'm like, no, this is just how my face looks.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Cause my eyebrows are kind of like, furrowed. Yeah, but you told me you do pluck those to speak specifically, like that, correct? Yeah, I want to look like Christian Slater. And you had those eyebrow tattoos? People always think I'm sick. I remember once in high school, I went to the nurse to get band-aids for my class.
Starting point is 00:17:34 And the nurse was like, you lie down. You're going to fall over at any moment. You look like you're going to faint. I'm like, this is just my face. I just look like I have the flu all the time. I remember specifically walking in Chicago and a guy was walking near me and he apologized to me.
Starting point is 00:17:48 And I was like, oh, I must look very mean and angry. Jess, and I feel like you have one of the more jilvy-old faces of all time. Do people do random people just walk up to you? Because you always look so open and happy. Yeah, no. No, I mean, you really know. I'd love to lean? Uh, yeah, no. I mean, really, no, no. I'd love to lean in here, but probably not.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I mean, I'm just a guy on our earth. We're all here on our earth. People are, I think, just the usual amount of friendly to me. I would say, just like the regular amount. The people who are here are friendly, though. In my hometown here, I find it too much for Virginia. Everyone is so open and warm that it's just hugs. You know, you can't pass somebody without hugging them.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Does everyone know everybody in Huntington? It's a town of like 50,000 people. So not really, but it is the kind of place where we will say that. See if that is that it provides. Yeah, that makes it. But they don't actually mean it. That probably provides enough color. I I'm just asking the question
Starting point is 00:18:45 that was on the blue card, Justin, you sent it in. Like, you, clearly you wanted me to ask you. You gave us the pre-approved question. You like the asshole. I feel like whenever I go to visit my mom who lives in central Illinois, she lives in Qaniel, Illinois, which is like 14,000 people, she'll be like, what's new in Chicago?
Starting point is 00:19:01 And I'm like, not much. And then I'm like, what's new in Qaniel? And she's like, well, the Tanzillas had a break in. And then they found that the Srirantes boy was the, and she'll go through every single family in town and like tell me their business. The sad thing is, like, Huntington may very well be like that. Maybe when I was younger or perhaps for my parents,
Starting point is 00:19:19 I work on the internet and nobody here knows what I do or understands it really. So like other people may be like that. I'm like, people on the internet and nobody here knows what I do or understands it really. So like other people may be like that. I'm like, people on the outside, I'm like, do you have anything about Justin MacRue? I don't know. He disappeared like. I said, never knew where it comes out. I mean, some sort of.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Oh, that. Justin MacRue. He been on like a missing. He's been on the missing person, Vola Kevore, in the police station. This is from, I'm going to say this incorrectly, and I do apologize from Louie Hussin. Louie Hussin writes, and I feel like this is a good one. This is our first non-heartbreaker, I'll say. OK, cool.
Starting point is 00:19:57 This says, a boy is given two medals that once belonged to his veteran grandfather. One medal is a medal of honor given for his service and bravery in World War I. The other is a medal of honor given for his service and bravery in World War II. The boy later goes to a pawn shop to see how much the medals would be worth. The man at the shop tells the fuck. You know, you get an heirloom, you're an asshole kid. You're always slipping heirlooms. The man at the shop tells the boy that even without an expert present, he can tell that shop tells the boy that even without an expert
Starting point is 00:20:25 present, he can tell that one of the medals is a fake, which medal is a fake and why? Okay, so there's a medal from World War I and a medal. It's for service and bravery and World War I and the other one is for service and bravery in World War II. Oh, and which war were people less braven? Well, there was no bravery in World War II historically a war for which war were people less braven? Well, there was no bravery in World War II, historically a war for cowards. Justin, you have it?
Starting point is 00:20:48 Yeah, I have it, but do, is there any other jokes that should you joke with? I don't have it, do you have it? I do not, I do not have it. So we should take some time to make sure we get all the good jokes out there. Yeah, just like, I'll just put it in my like, little card here, like, definitely know it right now.
Starting point is 00:21:03 Stop the timer, I'm not gonna sit on it for a few more jokes. So Justin does get the point for this one. Just trust on this. He says grandfather? It says grandfather, yeah. Okay, Aaron, so let's think about this historically. We're both students of history. World War I, that was around.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Reds and trenches. Rats and trenches. Rats and trenches. Stopping the fighting for one night to sing Silent Night. I think it was both wars. I think they did that in World War II as well. I don't think so. I think they stopped to celebrate Christmas. They stopped to just sing Silent Night. Yeah. It was mid-March.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Aaron can we do a quick... Not the season, the March. They were marching. They stopped. Aaron, can you do a quick rundown of all the wars, you know? Sure. The one where Abigail Adams watched from a hill. And list them all as if they're friends episodes. The one with. The one with Abigail Adams watching from a hill.
Starting point is 00:22:00 The one where- That's the first war. The cousins were fighting cousins and brothers were fighting brothers uh... the war now the one the one that was in eighteen twelve uh... the one with the trenches in the rats and silent night uh... the one uh... where we won and then that guy kissed that girl in New York city on the last day
Starting point is 00:22:21 yeah Hitler his favorite problem to do you know that it's a blue birthday and then the one where all the hippies were pissed and then then they get sadder because they're closer. Yeah, like Captain America versus Tony Stark. Yeah. It's like why are they fighting their best friends? The Iraq one, the other Iraq one. And the one with Alan Alda. And the one with Alan Alda. And World War Z. Yes, that's all the war. And the World War II ended. Everybody looked at each other like, well,
Starting point is 00:22:48 that was the last fun one. Yeah. They're all going to be real bummers after this. But we all had a hell of a good time out here today. Didn't we folks? We had a blast and our sons are going to die in the middle of Vietnam. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:02 I think everyone was secretly wishing that the Nazis would come back one more time and hey we might get our wish right guys. We'll follow the old man. Okay so let's see a quick role play. Let's see let's have who does the best German accent here. Oh lord. I cannot. You must do the best German accent here.. No one would say it if you didn't have it Um, so Justin and I are gonna be German soldiers in World War two And then JPC and Aaron are gonna be The allied forces are gonna be Americans and this is where we we're gonna take a break, a brief pause to celebrate Christmas.
Starting point is 00:23:46 A break. So this is the negotiations to cease war, cease fire, to celebrate. Gotcha. Okay, I can start. And anyway, they let me into the army, even though I'm from America. I want to fight for you guys.
Starting point is 00:23:58 That's as periancy, can you? Yeah, it was, you know, I'm kind of a Maverick. I guess you could say. I guess we'll call you a Maverick. You know, the other day a Maverick, people are, you know, I'm kind of a maverick. I guess you could say. I guess we'll recall you of Maverick. You know, the other day of Maverick, people were saying you do the best German impression. Bump set. I'm bump setting you for us. It's part of me, Sergeant Keif.
Starting point is 00:24:15 I just wanted to thank you for letting me a German traitor into the American army. It's very kind of you to do such a thing and I do hate my home country of the Nets themselves. Well, we such a thing and I do hate my home country a lot of the nuts themselves. Well, we lost one American and I for a die. I guess the exchange program has always been a very good point of pride in Germany. Wait a minute, what day is today?
Starting point is 00:24:37 Fight Christmas day? Wait, little boy! What day is today? I'm not boy, it's Christmas Eve! Oh, never mind, it's Christmas Eve! Oh, Christmas Eve! Oh, good! Oh, good! Oh, good! Well, that's what all I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:54 no point should have gone against it. I've killed your little boy servant. Fade, cross? Eek, no. Eek, no. So it's class? I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not
Starting point is 00:25:12 I'm not When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When When Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! You shot to be...
Starting point is 00:25:28 Oh, no! You shot my friend Dine time! Also, I knew you weren't German because when you held up the Okai sign... And see! Oh, ok, so I think I have the answer. The answer has to do with metal. All of the metal was boiled down in World War I to make tanks and bombs. You make tanks and bombs.
Starting point is 00:25:50 So it was all plastic back then. So a metal metal would be a dead giveaway. I don't have the answer. That's where we get the phrase worth it salt. They wouldn't have known that it was the first World War after they fought it. Oh, it was a great war. That's exactly a body of proof. I knew that. Yep. During World War I, they did not call it World War I. And I took AP European history and did okay. And yet I actually only got that because I once did an Encyclopedia Brown mystery where the first Battle of Bull Run was inscribed on a saber
Starting point is 00:26:27 that Encyclopedia Brown figured out was a fake because they wouldn't know and it was the first Battle of Bull Run. First Battle of Bull Run. Wow, that's good. And I didn't get it because I'm an idiot and I don't know the answer to most of these riddles. Just so everyone's clear with you. I just don't want it to seem like I figured it out.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I mean, I've encountered this puzzle's brother before and I, and I, so we give the point on this one to Encyclopedia Brown. Right. Donald J. Lowell. No. This one is from David McGuff. I feel like this one's pretty good. The crime book?
Starting point is 00:26:59 The McGuff, take a bite out of Puzzles. A man and his wife raced through the streets. This is, it doesn't say, but it's in a car. A man and his wife raced through the streets in a car. They stopped and the husband got out of the car when he returned, his wife was dead and there was a stranger in the car. All the windows were rolled up, the doors were locked,
Starting point is 00:27:20 it was not a convertible and there was blood everywhere. What happened? Oh my God. A man and his wife are racing in cars, separate cars. No, they're in one car. The man and his wife race through the streets in a car. They stopped and the husband got out of the car
Starting point is 00:27:34 when he returned his wife was dead and there was a stranger in the car. The doors were locked, the windows were rolled up, it was not a convertible. There was blood present. What happened? I think I know the answer, but I have to ask a question that I think I know the answer, but I have to ask a question,
Starting point is 00:27:46 but I think I know the answer too. He's the wife of a dog. No. The wife of a dad, though? I have no clue. I have no clue. The wife? I very much enjoy on this program, how frequently,
Starting point is 00:27:57 and it's pretty much every riddle, I don't read the riddle, and then almost immediately repeat the riddle, as if to acknowledge that everybody's brain is like, I'm not listening. I'll be back when he's done. I feel like every riddle has these one key word in there that you really have to go back and pay attention to. Justin, if you were in studio,
Starting point is 00:28:17 you could see that every time I talk, JPC and Aaron's their eyes glaze over like great white sharks. And then I don't stop moving. And then I don't stop moving. And then they don't stop moving. A little thought bubble of a mouse drinking horchata comes. Like that, that he did he did. A couple of things I would like to say.
Starting point is 00:28:34 I think I know the answer. But also, so many riddles have women dying in them. Oh, yeah. It's like a quick reminder that a lot of people have written riddles with women dying. But also, did you have a baby? No. Also, let me see.
Starting point is 00:28:45 Did I say who wrote this one? It's David McGuff. I met him in Chicago. He came to a show. I think a world-new show maybe, or Devil's Daughter Show. Oh, there you go. Um, Justin, any thoughts? Any, any, inkling?
Starting point is 00:28:58 I, I feel like Aaron got it. Do you, but how do baby? That's right. Yeah, he's racing. Do she die though? Racing to the hospital. The wife was about to have a baby. The husband and wife dropped to the hospital. The husband left to get a wheelchair, but the baby was born in the meantime. But she the wife died. Yeah, I guess we could still do that pussying the wife and the wife lived. Yeah. Yeah. You know know, people die.
Starting point is 00:29:28 Yeah, for sure, like, we argument. We tackle, we tackle. Okay, so Aaron is very right. It shouldn't always be women that die. We should be killing an equal number of men on this podcast. And the older and wider they are, the better. But I do think that death is not something that we will run away from. We will tackle the hard topics on a riddle, riddle.
Starting point is 00:29:49 I don't like to think about it. That's true. I feel like the only reason the wife is dead is so your answer can't be. I don't know, just ask her. Like, right, this is serious because all the clues have been extinguished. So we could still find a way around it by saying the husband and wife were in a huge fight. Yeah, but if it's a husband and wife,
Starting point is 00:30:12 they're gonna be in a huge fight. Yeah, I mean, I remember what it was like in my house in the relationship. Well, let's go ahead and take a quick break and we'll be right back with more putties and riddies. Rock, tape, beat, or hit and riddies. Hey, GPC. Uh, uh, yeah? You're not in trouble.

The most beautiful word in English, language, Michelle R. Dore. The only way to make that singular is to add an S, but if you add two, it makes it plural. We're done here.
Starting point is 00:37:22 A man is writing a letter. The power goes out, and then he dies. Why did he die? He was writing a prayer to God and God didn't hear him. You're oh you're so close on that weirdly so close. Could you read it again? I was thinking about that mouth's drinking. Of course. I love horchata. It is the best drink. Someone draw that too. That's Justin Bieber's new single. Horshada. A man is writing a letter. The power goes out and then he dies. Why did he die? The letter that he was writing was the final R in the word murder. word murder. No, but you're not. You're not. Just in do you know? Yes, I know this one. I've heard it many times. He was writing a letter to the power company to request they turn his power,
Starting point is 00:38:14 but they not shut his power off. Do you power company? I hope you'll later find you. I implore you. Too cool with me, consort. To answer your obvious question, no. I still have not paid my outstanding balance. But I want to appeal to your humanity power company. Yes, again, I realize it's been several years. The man was Dr. Frankenstein. The letter he was writing was to his monster. Yes. I don't have an ending for this.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Just keep talking to him. I usually do. Aaron, do you have an inkling to this? No. You can ask me some. I make an idea. Some yesterday questions, if you like. Um, is the recipient, is the person who is writing the letter to important?
Starting point is 00:39:01 No. Really? No. Okay. Is the activity important? In fact, too important? No. Really? No. Okay. Is the activity important? In fact, he was writing the letter in the first place. He, it's not important.

Uh, he's writing with a piece of technology, but not a typewriter or computer. Is he writing with a pen? And the power goes out and he keeps writing, and he doesn't know that the paper has stopped. And he's writing on his leg, and he gives himself ink poison in any dice. That's what it is.
Starting point is 00:39:43 So that's how most of these teens are dying nowadays is from the ink poisoning. So he's half an on a jewel. It's like it's like it's not crazy on a wise writing's letter, right? This kid smoke at a big tide pod. He's eating some pad tie pod. Okay, so is he underwater?
Starting point is 00:40:00 No, is he in space? Close. So he's in the, what's the layer between Earth and space? I feel like is he in space as Close. So he's in the...

Because she was a hard-known. She's kissing some Navy guy in Times Square. Public proposals like that are humiliating.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Is that true? Public proposals? One, skywriting is never a good idea for a proposal. I'm hurting someone's feelings by saying this. Do what you're going to do. Peace Pacific to your partner. If that's the case, then Aaron, I have a question. Oh, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Let's do this. Get this marching band out of here. This is one that I feel at least 50 without hyperbole I think 50 people sent in so let's go ahead and do this one since we've never done it But this might be one that one of the three of you probably have heard should we go ahead and give credit to all 50 people that Yeah, who's the person that you're gonna give credit to well I'm gonna pass it the list Aaron. Here's your list of your names. Here's mine So the person who that I'm using there email. know, this is Darby Fackler, which sounds
Starting point is 00:41:28 made up, but it's true. And Krenshaw McGibbons. I got Hunk, Ghibli. Chance Laquois. Smith Peppers. Mine just says JPC over here. JPC, why did you submit this riddle? Will you marry me?
Starting point is 00:41:44 No, okay. Fine, cool. Got one here, torrential. Better that way. This is JPC over here. JPC, why did you submit this riddle? Will you marry me? No! Okay, fine, cool. Got one here, torrential. Better that way. That's what I was. That was... Spandime? Okay, this is what it's a podcast microphone?
Starting point is 00:41:55 Coffee table, a water cup. A wallet, tea, a spinning chair, water cooler. My name. My name. Your name. Thank you, everyone. Thank you everyone who submitted this riddle. Please never submitted it again. A man lives on the 66th floor of an apartment building.
Starting point is 00:42:21 When he goes to work on sunny days, he takes the elevator all the way to the ground floor. When he comes home, he writes the elevator to the 36th floor, then takes the stairs to the rest of the way up to his apartment. But on rainy days, he writes the elevator all the way down when he leaves for work, and all the way up to the 66th floor when he comes home. Why can he write the elevator all the way up on rainy days, but not on sunny days? He's a fish. He's a fish. He's a fish.
Starting point is 00:42:46 The main's a fish. What's to be done? No, Michael Pailin, I'm so sorry to say that's wrong. And thank you for popping in for one line. He's a mermaid. He's a mermaid. Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:00 I know the answer so I'm gonna keep doing bullshit. Actually don't know it. I've never heard this. Justin, you heard this one? I don't wanna say yes because that's like puts Aaron into the least fun podcasting situation in recorded history. Well, that always happens to me. Justin, that's not true. Arnie currently holds that belt, so it'll be pretty hard for you to take it from Arnie.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Yeah, I yeah Well, I'm alone here and I'm gonna figure it out. Oh here. I'm gonna give you a hint on rainy days He has an umbrella with him. That's not a hint. That's the whole real real What's just this says it's a hit If your friends told you jump it off a bridge as a hint Wait, real quick. Oh, I know. Wait, real quick. Here's the thing, I know answers, right?
Starting point is 00:43:47 Here's the answer. Let me say it because I figured it out. OK. I got it a little bit without your hint. So he's a short and he can't reach the number. Real quick. Did you say he's a short? He's one of those short people.
Starting point is 00:44:01 And he can't reach the number 66 without a long umbrella. But he's stupid, he should just bring his umbrella every day. Yeah, bring him umbrella every day. If that's the solution to walk up like 30 flights of stairs, just carry the umbrella. So the answer is he's a short. He can reach the ground level button when he leaves for work, but can only reach the 36th floor button when returning. When it rains, he can use an umbrella to hit the 66 floor.
Starting point is 00:44:25 I'm so confused. His building doesn't have an elevator operator? What kind of building is he living in? He's a port. He's not a poor in a short. A port in a short? I was worried because I felt like we were poking fun at him for being short.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I was about to put in a PSA that we weren't doing that, but now that I know he's poor, I feel like the Israeli open up. We open up on this game. We open up on this game. On this game. On this game. On this game.
Starting point is 00:44:53 On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game.
Starting point is 00:45:01 On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. On this game. at this apartment complex. Perfect. Can he play a human that works at the front desk or do we have to make Justin play a front desk? Skydave is Desco. Justin will be the front desk. JPC, you'll be the person working the front desk. He's a man.
Starting point is 00:45:14 And then Aaron, you'll be a kid, trying to pose as someone who lives there. But you live on it in 69th floor. Excellent. Oh, 69th floor, very cool. Just for fun. Okay. My name is Desco, 7000.
Starting point is 00:45:25 How would you like to interact with your residents today? Desco, I already told you I'm not leaving my wife for you. Please think about it. I have so many boards. I have thought about it, and I love your boards, but it just up out of me. Excuse me, I have a gentleman. I certainly work at a bank, and I fired a lot of good men today. Here we go. I have a mustache and a trench coat off to my 69th floor. I go where I have a wife and a kid who I don't know how to connect to.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Oh, excellent. Excellent. Excellent. We consider you right up to the 69th floor. I just need your thumbprint for Desco to open the access port. Uh-oh. Oh, I don't have a thumb today. What a strange coincidence. Do me a favor, kind sir. Press the button for me in the elevator. I am a short, but I don't have a thumb today. What a strange coincidence. Do me a favor, kind sir.
Starting point is 00:46:06 Press the button for me in the elevator. I am a short, but I am a gentleman. Desco, are we allowed to use my thumbprint to give a guest access to their home? Well, I'm sensing a lot of sexual tension between the two of you. Why interrupting something? I didn't realize it was lost that off, yes. Please, prevent the thumb. OK, here's my thumb, and my thumb here, Desco. And my thumb. I'm too young to be watching this.
Starting point is 00:46:36 Yes, the thumb's touching. Yes. OK, you get the hell out of here, kid. See in the scene out of your kid. Seeing the Z-Soon. Door bot loss. Seeing, or we could time dash 10 years in the future when Desco, 7000, the guy have a kid. Did you guys see the Robocop reboot?
Starting point is 00:46:58 He's the son of a Desk and a Kid. It's very boring. He's very boring. It's boring. They have to be partners in solve crimes. All right, Desk and a Kid get into my office. Let's do one more. Does that sound good? Sure.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Yeah, and we'll make this one. This is funny. Good. Interesting. This is a heartbreaker. We got to end on a heartbreaker. Yeah. Call this Puzzle Shawn Michaels,
Starting point is 00:47:25 because it's gonna break your heart. A man is found dead at the bottom of a mesa in the middle of a vast desert. He is completely nude, and there are no footprints or tire tracks going to or from the body. He is clutching a straw in his hands. What happened?
Starting point is 00:47:44 What's a mesa? Is it just a... What's a Mesa? Is it just a... What's a Mesa U? Mesa is like a jar. It's like you're a Mesa egg. You know Jackie Mesa. Great comedian. He's found dead at the bottom of a Mesa?
Starting point is 00:48:00 He's found dead at the bottom of a Mesa in the middle of a vast desert. He's completely nude, no footprints or tire tracks going to or from, and he's clutching a straw in his hands. Did he fall from the sky? He did. Oh. Here's some hints. He died from falling.
Starting point is 00:48:14 And I guess that's hint singular. Making about the straw. A mesa is an isolated, flat-topped hill with steep sides. Here's another hint. And what's a straw? He jumped willingly. Did he jump from the top of one of the cliffs? Nope.
Starting point is 00:48:32 So he jumped out of a plane. Nope. Justin, do you know this? No, I'm sorry. I'm going to say that. He's naked and he has a straw on his hand. Let me tell you something. No.
Starting point is 00:48:43 There's no way to extrapolate or glean this from the information. Okay, okay. So this is a bullshade riddle. So he's naked with a strong as hand. So he was potentially doing some mescaline since he's out in the middle of the desert. And he's got a straw. Keep in mind that some purchase. It's 18 months from now when straws are our most precious resource. He is someone on the plane fighting for his straw. The last one in existence, refusing to give it up. He leaps from the plane. No, wait, he takes all his clothes. So wait, Justin, literally this is the last straw.
Starting point is 00:49:20 Oh, it is an extra straw. Where straws are money. One cop, a desk, and a little boy. It is a master. It is a master. Where straws are money. One cop, a desk, and a little boy. Put it in my port. He jumped willingly. He jumped willingly. Here's another. I said the other one.
Starting point is 00:49:36 He died from falling. Okay. Is the straw that he's clutching? Is it a drinking straw or is it like a straw like hay? It's neither. It's a euphemism for his penis. Got it. We've all been there. No, it's neither, it's a euphemism for his penis. Got it. We've all been there.
Starting point is 00:49:45 No, it's like, it doesn't matter. It's a, we'll say it's a straw like a, like a, drinking straw. Drinking straw. And it doesn't matter? It doesn't matter. Okay, okay. I mean, it matters, but it doesn't,
Starting point is 00:49:56 what type it doesn't matter. The length matters, so I'll say that. The length of this straw matters. So he drew the short straw, okay. But it's not, he didn't come from a plane. No, but that's pretty much it. A hot air balloon? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I think I've, I think I might maybe have heard this one before somewhere. Buckle and fuckos. Here's the answer. Why is everyone naked in a hot air balloon? The man was, I believe the phrase is fuckle and buckos. Fuckos. Fuckos.
Starting point is 00:50:22 The man was with others in a hot air balloon crossing the desert. The balloon began to lose air and sink, so they threw everything overboard, including their clothes to lighten the load. That wasn't enough, and they realized they would have to draw straws to decide who would sacrifice themselves and jump out, saving the rest. Okay. So that means they're heroes. I want to see a scene. She's also a short. I want to see a scene, Adel, Aaron and Justin, you're all in a hot air balloon. You're at the end of this. You've already dumped all of your clothes, so you're all completely naked, and you're trying to figure out how you can save your life so you don't crash in the desert.
Starting point is 00:50:56 We're in quite a. Oh, please. Eleanor, please put it up. I feel like 3's a lot. 3's company? Hahaha. Oh. Yes. And what if it called me crazy?
Starting point is 00:51:16 No. One of us got the hell out of doubt. I love it. I love it. Daniel. Well, I think I could live with that. Literally. Because can I ask you something, Gregory? Indeed.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I don't mean to be insensitive, but certain people talk and I've heard rumor that your father is a desco-7000. Therefore, you're clearly the heaviest and you need to go. Let's go around and say, I know you're a woman, but can I ask what you weigh? Well, I'm six foot tall and I wear a sassy shoe. I want the awkward enough I'm going to jump.
Starting point is 00:51:52 This is actually cotton weird enough I'm just going to jump. This is something I'm going to jump in. Thanks. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, Oh, we took the craziest straw. Why would he hold on to the fucking straw? What? What part of my triumphant? This is my last one on the earth. I better hold on to this dumb straw. What a humiliating way to be found.
Starting point is 00:52:14 We're not going to throw out the ice coffees. They're all empty. It's actually no way and it's worse for the environment. Here's what I love is that they threw out their clothes, but they didn't throw out the straws that they eventually used to. Yeah. And I'm sorry. Again, is this how hot air balloons work? I never really think of like,
Starting point is 00:52:29 it seems like they would just kind of like, like the worst case scenario you would gradually sort of like, drift to the ground. Well, so I guess they're in the middle of the desert and they don't want to be stranded in the desert, but also hot air balloons are not for transit, like you're not usually get to like get to a place. That's how I got to school every day.
Starting point is 00:52:46 Must be nice when you're there. I got teeth. So Aaron, you lived in a dream growing up, right? I lived in a dream. And my teeth fell out every day, but my leg got water. Here's the thing though, how do you not, before you have a person jump out, how do you not all hang off the side and take huge crabs? And why wasn't that part of the riddle?
Starting point is 00:53:06 I can be rid, the riddle, the riddle should read. He's alone in the desert. No tire tracks or anything. There's a big pile of clothes, a big pile of creps. Here's what I'll say. I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't do that. One of the people we're watching. We don't turn around.
Starting point is 00:53:22 We don't turn around. Okay. But I feel like I get it. I'd rather someone die than have a gradual 10 hour descent. No, that's not what they're riddles. The riddles they'd land in the desert and I'll die of starvation. But if they keep going, they can get to a place. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:53:37 And hot able insert the fastest way to travel. Is this based on a true story? Yes. Cool. Yeah, this is based on the Titanic. Yeah. Justin, thank you so much for being on the show It's a genuine pleasure. You got a great show here. Thank you so much
