Riddle. Riddle. Riddle. I'm Adolfi, captain. I'm JPC. Cheer, mom. And I'm Aaron Keith, coach. So we have captain, coach, and cheer, mom.

And the classic three. What is our, what is our hey, Riddle high mascot? Is it just a big old question mark? Is it like is it like Questo the question mark Unfortunately due to budget cuts it is a Doritos loco at taco shell All right, and unfortunately, I'm getting word now due to budget budget cuts. It is a do to budget budget cuts. It is a screenshot of an email that JPC has sent us that we haven't responded to. True essence of the three of us. I haven't had a chance to look at the email because I just came back from budget cuts and my haircut is that's the one I paid for. That's the one you cut your hair

in the back of a rental truck. While it dries around and moves people. Yeah, but you're not allowed to say any of the words cut, you're in hair because they don't technically do any of those things. Yeah, you just have to be, just be very enthusiastic about the product. Yeah, the pamphlet, the brochure I got says, it rearranges my follicles. I don't know what that means. No, I got all of my follicles rearranged.

Yeah. It's got got all of my follicles rearranged. Yeah. Yeah. It's got a mall rearranged. That's basically nothing. I mean, I've seen the Star Trek movie with Chris Pine. So I know all about rearranging follicles. You stay in the board a little thing.

And then, and about half of the movie, Scotty comes in and he can do it midair. So. Yeah, I saw a Star Trek with Chris Pine. And now I know all about falling. Whoa. Chris Pine. Oh, well, well, well. What is there? Is there a Star Trek with Chris Pine and now I know all about falling in love with Chris Pine. Oh, well, well, well.

What is there? Is there a Star Trek? I don't think I've seen any of the movies. Oh! And I also said Star Trek and not Star Trek. So come at me. You've never seen a Star Trek movie? I would like to see a scene.

What? It's my favorite. It's the earliest we've ever seen. That's what you said, our names. It's the Star Trek universe. But instead of following anyone important, they're just following like a high school track team in space. Ha ha.

Hey, hey, buddy. Are you ready for the big meet today? Yeah, we got Jefferson, right? Well, I'm talking about dinner. We're having steak for dinner. It's going to be a 32-ounce porterhouse. You ready for the big meet? Well, don't know we've got the big meat tomorrow do you think I should have that much big meat? Well I'm giving you so much meat

because you have to load up for the big meat you have to have you know energy and protein is where you're getting get a lot of that. I think I need carbs honestly if I have enough big meat then I'm gonna be tapped out for the big meat. Carbs before we get in the car and I drive you? Oh no no I'm saying that I have to get ready for the carbs ride which is very long before we get to the big meat. Listen champ I don't mean to shot put you in your place but for shot put tomorrow I really want you to give it your best shot put it out there put yourself out, and give it a shot. Can't we just do space?

I mean we're here. I'm your alien neighbor. Here's some alien mail. I'm alien. This is, oh that's our neighbor Ding Dong. All of Ding Dong? This is your mail. This is alien mail.

Yeah, sorry. Oh, I guess while I'm over here, do you guys have any alien sugar? I'm making cake. Wait, you need alien sugar for a regular cake? Ah, you got me again. You guys want to hang out? What? Do you want an alien hang out? Ding dong, did you open this letter? It looks like you won the Glorpin Shlop, publishers clearinghouse sweepstakes.

Addle, I really appreciate you trying to make the worst walk on a long time. Adela. It's insane. But you don't have to do this. You don't have to, you don't have to. See, I've never seen Star Trek, but isn't there a movie?

I think I know this purely from Matt and Arnie referencing it. Isn't there a Star Trek movie where the whole plot is they have to go back in time and save whales? That's a Star Trek. The country? The re, I believe. And yes, it is whales the country. So you have gotten that critical piece of information correct.

Oh, I quit trying to save ice, which is having a shake with the sheep. But that's not the more modern Star Trek. The more modern Star Trek are Star Chris Pine and also Thor plays his dad, which is that's Chris Hemsworth, right? I thought a fun piece of trivia that might confuse people that you could use it like a pop culture pub trivia is like in what movie does Chris Hemsworth play Chris Pine's father? Because it's that Star Trek movie and it's only for a little bit at the beginning and I think at the time when I saw Star Trek it was pre-thor so you don't even recognize him as Thor but now when I saw it I was like pre-thor can still get you reagan and rocks but now when I saw it was like whoa that's Thor Thor is his dad I think also there's a Star Trek with Tom Hardy

in it I think it's bad I just people say's bad, but Tom Hardy, ooh, a lot. That was the third one. The second one is Comber Batch, and Tom Hardy is the third one, I believe. The third one you said was Wales, but that's the Oils one. That's the older one. That's the older one.

That's Star Trek 3. These were called Star Trek into darkness and Star Trek the wrath of Khan and something. And there's one where Picard gets contacts for the first time. That's Star Trek Trek Lasik. Uh, wait, what's the movie where they say roads where we're going? We don't need roads because then they use a road. They park in a road.

That's almost every movie. Rhoads where we're going. We don't need roads because we're going to walk over to the beach. I think I only saw the first one. Everyone was wondering about my silence just now. It was me going, oh god, I'm just grasping onto a memory of what it does. I'll say that first Star Trek with Chris Pine and it has nothing to do with Star Trek the series, which I'm not a fan of.

I just have never watched it. I don't have anything against it, just not something that I like watched a ton of. It's not like good as in Star Trek, but it's a great movie. It's a very fun like action romp. John Cho has a sword. That's right. The girl that Kumar got a white castle, guys, got a friggin' sword.

You can't complain about that. What's that love? It's so weird that they, those, both those dudes have gone on to do so much. Like I think Calpin worked for Obama's White House as like something, something big, but no matter where they go, they will always be here old and Kumar.

No matter what they do, they're eternally known from that stoner mode. CalPen was in house for a couple of seasons I think. But interesting. I bet they're kind of proud of that. I bet they're not like pissed. Oh no, I assume they love it, but it's just I bet they're not like pissed. Oh, no, I assume they love it But it's just it's just funny that they're forever known for that one thing. We might be accidentally associated with each other forever

That's true. How does he has that feel even if you work for Obama's White House? It's accidental our association. No, I mean, but we had about as much control over his Harold and Kumar had He a true, true. Now, I think, wasn't the whole premise of Harold and Kumar go to White Castle that both of them had done like bit parts in other, like what, who was in American pie? Was that? Sean Williams got. No, no, no, no, no, one of the two of them, John Cho,

or, or I think John Cho was in that. And then Cal, I think. Penn was in something else, but they were I think, pin was in something else, but they were basically like bit parts and other movies and they were like, why not these two guys and a fucking crazy adventure? By the way, I remember Harold and the two. That's a way better title, by the way.

What about these two guys and some crazy adventure? You're on a fucking crazy adventure. I don't know what year was that movie. What year did that movie come out? I wanna say 2000 2000 your butt so that makes us 2004 but I remember thinking that movie was so funny now Let's do a little bit right now what percentage of that movie do we think age as well? 2004 so let's say 25% yeah came out like 15 years ago 25% is good clearance on a movie that came out 15 years ago

Comedy that came out 15 years ago. I'd say 20% there's some like establishing location shots, right? Yeah Okay, that counts isn't Neal Patrick Harris like a co-cat or something at my point Yeah, I gotta think maybe 40% because I think that Neal Patrick Harris can do no wrong, right? We never know. We never know. I'll say 40%. So fans of the show, watch that movie and tell us how wrong we were.

It is interesting to be like, maybe the most wild I've ever seen a theater react. Like, I remember seeing Liar Liar when I was in like, maybe eighth grade or freshman year in high school or something. I remember being like, this is, no movie will ever be funnier than this movie. And now when I watch it, I'm like,

eh, the claw. Like, and I don't know if it's because I've seen it a few times that it's not surprising, but I feel like there's other movies like what we do in the shadows or what how to American Summer. I can watch ad nausea, I'm in a summer funny. So I think there's just a time in your life

where you'll laugh at anything. Is that something? I've ever coming out of Lier liar and I could not let go of the part where Jim Carrey's talking to his son to son leaves him And he's at like a outside like a birthday party for his son and he puts his hands down and they go right into the cake I Couldn't let that go man. I thought that was the funniest fucking thing when he puts his hands in the game. I don't know why. Everyone was like, you know what I was like, your teacher was like, JPC, did you hear what I just said?

And you're like, I didn't, and I'll tell you why. I cannot let that part go. Hashtag hands in the cake. Well, should we, should we get to some, I can riddles or whatever? Ashtag, I had something to announce. Oh, so we hold on, hold on, hold on. Yeah. Aaron, you ready?

Thank you. Three, two, one. Bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo- our third anniversary. So wait, does that mean we've had a third anniversary, does that mean we're on our fourth year of the show? Is that right? Well, we just finished our third anniversary where the whole year of shows was awful. But now we're gonna be doing it. I'm Neilian's neighbor.

Think about your back. So yeah, the math works out on that. This is our fourth year pay-run-a-rattle. Yeah. So I have something to declare in our fourth year pay-run-rattle. Yeah. So, I have something to declare in our fourth year pay-run-rattle. This whole year, this whole year, this whole fourth year, this whole fourth year is the year that I love riddles. Oh!

That's right. I'm back in it. I'm rekindling my love for riddles and I love them again. I'm seeing them with a brand new eyes. I'm saying I'm my my my love for riddles and I love them again. I'm seeing them with a brand new eyes I'm saying I'm starting my watch and I'm gonna see how many minutes in that completely crumple I recall that a start watch I Love watch. I'm actually seeing where we're in space instead of the start track Start track. You guys do what you will but I will not say a bad word about riddles for the rest of this Non-calendar year, but hey riddle riddle year. So we're talking in August to an August basically

It's gonna be a September to remember This is happy-hung today's everybody, but we JPC loves riddles now. You can quote me on it We are 29 seconds in. We'll see how many more seconds until JPC absolutely hates riddles again I love it. So now we have two thirds, two thirds majority enjoy riddles. No, no, you know what? Let's all reset. Oh. I'm feeling inspired. I love riddles now too.

Okay. Maybe a bit of a competition who can love riddles the longest. Well, here's something I fell to dimension after I spoke just a moment ago. Two-thirds of us, majority, enjoy riddles. I forgot to mention, I no longer like riddles. So this year I'm taking a back seat. I don't like riddles anymore. Okay. So it's still two-thirds majority.

Okay. But people don't like to hear you sad, Adel. It's too much for them. Hey, I don't think people can tell when I'm sad. Hey, people. Get used to it. You know what? Let's say, like, I'm on board. I like, we're all three, three, three, three, three more, three, three, three. All right. We're a minute and a half into all of us liking riddles. Let's see how long it lasts. I'm, hey, I'm into it. I got the

rest of the, I got the rest of the year. I got 51 more episodes of love and riddles and I gotta say I hope you got fucking nothing else to use that timer for because you need to let that run until We stop liking riddles which could be years. Don't worry man. I got nothing going on And Casey just messages. He said I'll hate them now for balance. So now Casey hates riddles. We didn't know his stance before, but now we know he hates them. It's always good to have your editor

be working against you. They said that adds spice to your relationship. That's how you become a stronger swimmer. That's true. It's hide pushing us back. For listeners who are curious about the last 10 seconds in that weird sound effect that was happening, that was JPC speaking.

I assume Casey will put the noises over. Are you talking? We are. I'm ready, Adel. Yeah, I'm ready. Let's do some riddles which canonically we all love. We love them. Yum yum yum yum.

Let's all give a big yum yum for riddles. Yum yum yum yum. Yum yum yum riddles. Actually, I'm going to continue to hate saying yum yum. I'm going to change myles, actually. Oh, that's a hasty Riddles. I'm gonna continue to hate saying, young, young, I'm changed my mind on that yet. Okay, my bad. I'm honestly a little sad because it's been a week since I've had a Riddle and I'd love to have my treat daddy.

Ha, ha, ha. No. Well, okay, so here's the first Riddle. And the first Riddle we're gonna do is a bit of a warm-up Riddle. And this is one that just a few hours ago, my mom called me. It was like 1.25 pm. She assumed I was awake. She assumed I'm wrong. So she walked

me up with a call and she said I'm so sorry to bother you which is how everyone in my family first greets each other. So sorry to bother you. Sure. And she said she thought of a riddle while she was walking around her house. Wow. So this is a mama paddy original riddle. And we're going to try and solve it. Thank you, mama paddy. Thank you, mommy. I'm ready. So the riddle she came up with is, you and your cousin

make a pact to talk every month on the phone. You find yourself without having talked to your cousin for 60 days straight, and yet, things are still on track. How? Okay. I have a question. I have a question. This one I know was pinned by your mother.

Yes. Do Aaron and I have to have specific knowledge of your cousins in order to get this right? Is it like is it like you know Ricky has like a real weird clock? Well the cousins on my the cousins on my mom's side of the family have Certain names and then the cousins on my dad's side of the family have very specific names that that are not Ricky Yeah, yeah sure one of your cousins is a month wizard. One of them can move through months. How I really, please. I like Aaron, I really, I want to see a scene. So this is, this is like a new, you know, I think Amazon is rebooting Lord of the Rings. I think

today they've announced the release date for the TV show. So this is like a Lord of the Rings spin off. They found some of Tolkien's writings and some chest inside of kids' chest. And they ripped them out, killed the kid. But we have a new story. And this story is the calendar wizard played by Aaron. And JPC, you are sort of a Bilbo, Frodo type, small town, got a shy kid who's yearning for adventure,

but has nothing to offer, meeting the calendar wizard. Here we go. What are you doing? What are you doing in my field? Oh well, I was wondering if you wanted it to be Christmas again. I can make that happen whatever you want. Uh, um, no, no thank you. It was just Christmas two weeks ago, sir. I mean, another Christmas this soon would...

And... Who are you? Wait, you don't want to go back to Christmas already? Well, I'm the calendar wizard, of course. Oh, the calendar wizard. I've heard it here. I've heard it here. I've heard it. I've heard it. Whatever month I wanted to be. For example, I always skip March.

That's why there hasn't been a March for millennia. Who gives a ship? I don't know what March is, so we have it had one of those and so long. Exactly. You're welcome. I'm okay. Thank you. I guess.

Allow me to introduce myself. This is my cornfield. I'm... Shellbow fishbones. Pfft. I'm a hobbit. I guess from the famous fishbone family. Your grandfather used to steal my fireworks a time or two.

Oh, I'm sorry. He was executed, sir. What? Yeah, he it was not just fireworks. He stole he stole from almost everyone in the shot We actually haven't had an execution before or after my grandfather. He was the only one we've ever done Jeez, I'm sorry. I I shouldn't have made such a big deal out of groups of stuff dude drawn-in-ported Oh my god, I think they read a letter from you at his execution. You were, I guess, you couldn't be here. You were maybe like a prime witness though. Ah, I got, I got stuff.

I just remember that I have a bunch of stuff. Please sir, take a piece of corn before you go. You can have as much of it as you would. I'm responsible for killing someone you're really. Well, I mean, not just him. His wife and children starved, sir. They had no one to provide. Oh, I'm getting a, um, I turned out all right because I was taken in by the state, the Hobbit state, obviously. Had a pretty rough go of it in foster care. Ah, yeah, I'm walking, I'm walking backwards.

Now I'll come with you not really the best to buy a bit for a young hobbit since we really don't have much foster care since we kind of have meetings. Why? Oh I calendar with it. Can't you literally freeze time or go back five minutes? No, just can change the month. Can't fix that. Can't go back to when I wasn't having this conversation. Oh, your power's seen pretty specific sir I'm getting a Oh, I'm getting a magical wizard call from my brain And all you can come up with was call

Is it isn't a wizard call inherently magical? Why would you, you're being too specific? Is it? Is it, say when you're too specific, it's a lie! Ah, good point! Good, yes, let's talk about that! As far as excuses go, you used something that was so anachronistic that I would have no context for what a call would be! Well, aren't we using months that wouldn't exist in this universe anyway?

I don't know how to do this. No would talk me, sir. I grew up in foster care because my grandfather and my father and all of my family was killed. I'm getting another call. Who is it? Say a name. A fish bone. First and last.

Fish bone? Oh oh that's my name Ah, and I'm the only one of my day about a cat about whole family's god. I fucking it's March have fun with March It's kind of cold the whole time you keep people say it's the start of spring, but it's not Oh this sucks. Yeah, good luck. Good luck on St. Patrick's Day, it is Good luck on St. Patrick's Day, it is. Whoa! The wizard's getting on all fours, and the horse is riding on top of it. Never seen that before. Hey, Adel, you don't have to do this.

See, the same. You have to try to fix my scene. I like the calendar wizard. I love calendar wizard. Well, he's dead now. He can't come back. I also like that. Well, he's dead now. He can't. No. Uh, adult.

Yes. Is this, is this a riddle? Is the answer to this riddle something that has to do with cousins on your dad's side? Uh, no. No, it's not. Okay, so it's not. So this isn't specific to, um, my family to the, to the, yeah. Let me ask about the wording on this bad boy.

So it's, you and your cousin are supposed to talk every 30 days or every month. Every month. Every month. And it's been 60 days since you've talked, but that's not a problem. Yep. Aaron.

It's the 31. Oh, yes. Is it, Aaron, do you have enough mumbles to share with the class? Yes, sorry. Oh, yes. Is it Aaron, do you have enough mumbles to share with the class? Yes, sorry. Oh, my mom only packed enough mumbles for me. I mean, I have one love, but I'm not going to share it. Well, I just used my last mumble.

I'm so sorry. I didn't even mean to. OK, so I know the answer. Can we go ate the last of the craft mumbles? We were supposed to have tacos tonight. I want to play a character called mumbles the clown who's just like goes to kids parties and is like, fun kill this kid. What did you say?

What is that mumbles? Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Um, I know the answer. Dumb dumb. You can't get anything past me dumb dumb. Well, Aaron, just, you know, this is my mother's riddle. So you're directly calling my mom Patricia a dumb dumb.

Are you comfortable with that? I'm getting a call. Because there's a special place in hell for women who hate on other women. I'm getting a call. Okay, so okay, it's they talked on July 1st and then they didn't talk again until August 31st because those two months have 31 days next to another. Back to back. Bingo Bingo, ha-ta-ta, Aaron, not only is that exactly right, you use the specific dates my mother said when she gave the answer.

She said your life first in August 31st. So that was it? Those are the old ones that work. Just, just, just a quibble with the wording that your mom chose. Can you read back into the record your honor read back exactly what your mom submitted? Okay, we're gonna carve out some time for JPC the quibble jack back jack back party back jack fucks Share come on come here hand out your mumbles. No. I didn't write it down. This is just from memory.

I believe she said, you have a pact with your cousin to talk on the phone every month. Yes. It's been 60 days since you last talked to your cousin, but you're still on track to fulfill this agreement. Okay. Got you. Something along those lines. Yeah.

I totally find there that you're on track to fulfill the agreement because I'm assuming that you and your cousin Have had a conversation that said we're gonna talk in the very last day of the month first day last day something like that because Otherwise, I'd be fucking nervous that me and my cousin. We're not gonna connect this month Because there is one day left in the month and I haven't talked to my cousin yet. Oh, I want to say a scene Uh-huh and the two of you are the two of you close with any of your cousins? No! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha very much. So let's do a scene. The two of you are two cousins who are talking on the phone for the first time in like however long. Perhaps your parents both urged you to talk to each other. So this is cousins reconnecting after a long drought. Hey Claire, it's your home. Jennifer, sorry.

Jerome. Jennifer, sorry. Right out of. Oh, that's right. I forgot that all of us cousins were born Jennifer and that we got to pick our own names after high school. I thought you went by Claire. What happened to the Claire? My sister's name's Claire. I think that you mean... You're simply waiting for Jennifer to Claire.

Okay. Are you confused about what you called? No, no, no. So I, you know, there's what, there's 12 of us. We were born Jennifer. We all got to change our name. We went to high school. I obviously went to Jerome. But again, I answered a Jennifer from all the people that knew me back then, which is when I knew you, doesn't matter. So you prefer Jennifer? Is that what I'm hearing? Yeah. We fast forward 20 minutes into the conversation. Anyway, so Jennifer is... Give it.

Yes. Nick. Uh-huh. Can I help you? I'm so happy to just chat, but like... We fast forward an hour into the conversation. Jay. E. N.

N. N. I. F. E. Yeah, they spelled it. We all spelled it the same. All those cousins got it spelled the same because our grandma's name I guess was Jennifer. Yeah, what?

Oh my god. That's what I'm calling you grandma's dad. Let's see. So funny. That was fun. I love it. I want to see a scene between a doctor and a patient. It's like, Doctor, I'm worried about my intestine.

What? I'm actually an nurse practitioner. Oh, can I talk to the doctor? No, the doctor died. Okay. I thought it would be funny that they hadn't connected in so long that he forgot her name. And, it was very funny. I'm just giving a little peek behind the curtain.

It was funny. Don't ever mistake me. Mm-hmm. So thank you, Mama P, for that bespoke riddle. Thank you so much. It sounds like a joke, but I genuinely really liked that riddle, so I'm 15 minutes into liking riddles. Wow.

Let's do another one. Okay. Sure. I thought I was looking for it. Okay, sure I thought I was looking for okay you want us a verbal affirmation You're in spitting shelter everywhere. Oh Oh Over Lose

Blasted shelter I can't remember no what the fuck just happened Okay, here's No, she just lasted until she came out of her nose. What the fuck just happened? Oh no. OK, here's our next one, please. I felt like that was like the biggest glitch I've ever seen happen on the show. Something literally broke for a second. Oh, my nose burned so.

Susie saw red. She was extremely furious. Her two neighbors were blasting their radios very loudly. Susie could not even hear the person she was speaking to on the telephone due to the racket. Even though her neighbors never lowered their radios, Susie was able to hear the other person on the phone better.

What's going on? Okay, start over. I'm so confused, go ahead. When you said that Susie turned red, I was like, that's it, that's the operative word. And then there were so many more words that I wasn't expecting than I thought, I don't think that's important. That's the operative word. And then there were so many more words that I wasn't expecting than I thought. I don't think that's important at all.

That's just right. I feel like that riddle is a haunted house. It feels like a scary sentence that I don't know how to go. On the doors, you're a little on edge, something jumps out. To be fair, I never said that Susie turned red. She saw her. Susie saw red.

She was extremely furious. Her two neighbors were blasting their radios very loudly Susie could not even hear the person she was speaking to on the telephone due to the racket even though her neighbors never lowered their radios Susie was able to hear the other person on the phone better So this is there's clearly there's clearly some time passing by to where she's frustrated by the volume of her neighbors There's clearly some time passing by to where she's frustrated by the volume of her neighbors' radios And then at some point suddenly she's able to hear the person on the phone better I got it and the radios aren't as bad her name. I got it and I know it. I got it and I know it Adel you cannot fool me. Aaron ever since you decide to love riddles you are

Crushing them and better at them. There's something to that, but I'll never learn and better at them, there's something to that, but I'll never learn. Adel, is it because she was calling into a radio station that they happened to be playing, and then she could hear the person answer her phone call, and then she said, can I suggest a song, and they go, share what song? And she says, whenever, whenever, whenever, by Shakira.

And they go, that's not a top-party hit, and she says, play the song, and she can hear it better because it's on the radio. Aaron, I don't know if I followed anything you said, but I do want to see a quick snippet. Did am I wrong? This I will have to I have to take a break and kind of purse through what you said I want to see a 30 second clip and Aaron this is Shakira In 2022 she's on stage about to play whenever whenever and, and as she starts singing it, she realizes she forgot the words. I'm gonna put this on Twitter. No, film this. Hello, I do no lyrics to no lyrics.

This is the radio. Hi, do you know the lyrics to whatever? Shakira's whatever, whatever. Yeah, absolutely. But in order. Quickly go go go go go go. Yeah, I will. I got him pulled up here, but in order for you to get these lyrics, you're gonna have to sing the drive time morning fart song. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I am a jerk feed. I love she could call in her radio station and be like,

can you tell me lyrics? Do you mind song? Hi, I'm the guy from Coldplay. Do you know the lyrics tomorrow? So Aaron, I'm not really sure. So you're saying her neighbors are playing the same radio station that she's calling into. Yeah.

She's hearing like double. Yeah, so she's hearing the person that she's talking to on the phone through the radio. Oh, that's a good guess. If not a confusing guess, but it is incorrect. I was out of confusing guess. I got it there. And our her neighbor's blaring like a Colin talk radio show and she's talking on that

talk radio show. That's it. That's right answer. Okay. I'm going to scream. That's crazy, that's our answer. Okay. I'm going to... Oh, that's crazy. That's crazy. You know how people love blaring talk radio. Mm-hmm.

I'm gonna make a pool and instead of water, it's your blood. Hey, I have a question for you guys. Oh. Do you guys know what, like, red, the verb would be, like to read someone or someone's been a red? What? I'm asking if you're familiar with that slang in term. Yes.

Okay. I was not until like a week ago. Okay. So what happens is typically this is I think, not, maybe not exclusive, but I think primarily used in the drag queen community. Okay. And it's, they usually say the library is open. And then they will start to read everyone and to read everyone is to like roast them. And it can be they can

be harsh roasts. But ideally the concept is that there's love behind it. And it should be not should not be taken to heart. Yeah. But at the same time, it can be pretty fucking brutal too, right? Yeah. Sometimes people overstep their boundaries. Yes. And it's a lot of it. It's a lot of commentary on physical appearance, which was shocking to me. You were, yeah, I guess, in that context, it makes sense. But I guess it is to be just like, it's like to be like, like, dist very hard.

Yeah, you're right. You've been a red. Yep. Anyway, when you said that that made you... Like, I figured out what your whole deal is. Yeah. When you said that she was seeing red, I was like, oh, in my mind, I'm like, okay,

so she's about to read these two Slack jog yokals who are listening to talk radio Totally wrong totally wrong, but I got the answer right so that's nice. Um So you two were both incorrect, but it's you're you're not too far off ish So Susie saw right she's extremely furious Her two neighbors were blasting their radios very loudly. Susie could not even hear the person she was speaking to on the phone. So did the racket by her neighbors? The radio asserted playing the voice of the person that she's talking to.

So I will say that there's no, the person she's talking to has nothing to do with the racket being caused by the neighbors by the neighbors radios. Okay. Are the neighbors radios playing two separate things or the same thing? Um, it doesn't matter. It doesn't say for the sake of the riddle, we'll say two separate things. Okay, but it truly has no bearing on the answer to the riddle. And the whole operative thing is that she can hear the person she's talking to even better because of the racket. No, it's the so So, she's on the phone with someone. Her neighbors are blaring their radios. She can't even hear the person on the phone.

Then something happens. And even though the neighbors radios are still blaring, she can now hear the person on the phone better. So it all has to do with the context of what's going on. Does the person who solved the riddle will become clear why... Got you. She was able to hear better. Does the person on the phonedle become clear why got the she was able to hear better? Does the person on the phone on their end turn two radios on that are playing those same

two different things to cancel out all of that noise? Okay. I can't even possibly begin to dip my toes into what's going on here. Yeah. I gotta say. It's a big red shit. Hey, dude, I actually like the way you think. And that's where it scratched the right part of my brain. I was like, yes, that's how the world should work. Yes. Hey. I'm in a way. I'm in.

So I'll give a hint. And the hint is, when you think of neighbors, what do you think? Like, in your mind's eye, when you hear neighbor, walk me through the picture of this being painted. Okay, Seth Rogan is very big now. Next to a college like party house, right? But he's like a little bit older at this age. Okay, wait a minute.

Is he gonna get a little annoyed? But oh, he's gonna get annoyed, but guess what, Aaron, he's also gonna get even. Now, Efron has no fucking clue. Zach? Oh yeah, Zach, the app's Efron. I mean, he's shorted his off immediately. As soon as this movie goes, I, the ab's Efron. I mean, his shirt is off immediately. As soon as this movie goes, I think it's starting.

Okay. What was the question, Edel? I've only ever seen the trailer. Oh, what do you think of when you think of neighbors? So rethink what a neighbor could be. Good neighbor, State Farm is there. This is, don't overthink that. It's just,

Hospital neighbor. That's a type of neighbor. Yeah. So I think I think most people in here neighbor, you think of a physical house next to your house, right? So rethink what a neighbor could be. Oh, neighbors could be temporary. Is this a neighbor's in like cars or these car radios? Car radio. Oh, buddy. You nailed it. So is she just driving away? And that's why it doesn't she can hear the person you want to see it. So here she just driving away? And that's why it doesn't, she can hear the person who you don't want to see it.

So here's what's going on. I heard her car phone. Susie was on a cell phone while stopped at a red light. That's why she saw red. Her two neighbors quote unquote, who had their car radios on, pulled away when the light changed to green. She didn't.

No, she didn't. Oh wait. She knew it in a minute. I need to see a scene. Sure. At all, your guy driving his car with the windows down, and you think that JPC is following you, but really, he just wants to keep hearing the same song that you're playing on your radio.

And it's you finally sort of snapping. Okay. Why is this guy as riding my tail? What is going on? Is this just like a Milwaukee thing or is... Come on buddy, back off! What? What? What?

Me? Yes! Yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you. Is there a problem? Yeah, you're on my fucking tail. It's like you're trying to bump up against my bumper. Oh, I'm getting too close.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. It's just that I'm listening to White Towns, your woman, a famous 1990s song. Yeah, I mean it's a cover. Oh, is it? Yeah, they didn't do it originally.

Now it's a cover of a much old, I thought that you might like to know. Okay. I heard you enjoying the song and every time I see someone enjoying, I could never be your woman by White Town, I do have to let them know that it's a cover. Technically. It's been sampled who's saying the original it's an older

it's an older like jazz song we do we do we do oh yeah i you know why i pulled you over i'm an alien named we and i just want to let you know that no one knows that song no lots of people do what you're an alien but they don't know where they know it from, because it's a cover.

I don't know. I don't know older songs. I don't come to fucking Mars and say no one knows what this fucking glock food is. You know a lot of our songs. I know some Martian songs. Yes, you do. David Bowie.

Oh, shit. He was one of yours. Rocket Man. That's one of ours. Elton John was one of yours? Rocket man that's one of ours. Elton John was like a Canadian. There's a sample of that white town song on the new Duolipa album. No. Yeah. I have to listen to it. I always think about the Imperial March when I hear it. Like, oh dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, yeah, but it's white town, but it's a cover.

We ran a hell of a campaign. And when the final numbers came back in, I'm really going to enjoy working with him in Washington, D.C. I think that everybody that I worked with is going to make legislating their number one priority this fall. So, they're going to support your opponent's camp. Like, they're... I'd love to talk about my opponent.

I'd love to talk about my opponent because... Who's now the winner? Glenn Renne Hell of a campaign. Glenn Renne Hell of a campaign. Glyn ran a hell of a campaign. And, you know, I'm sure years from now, when he thinks back on what went wrong, he's gonna have a lot of insight. But right now, let's not make it about that.

Because he's going through something right now. So let's not make it about that. He's going through things and packing for DC. DC, yeah. I mean, basically when I'm packing for DC, what I'm bringing is a backhoe, because we're gonna have to clear the swamp out of all of the corruption.

So it's important to be where the action is, because that's where the American people are gonna need me. That's where they're gonna want me, on the front lines, and that's what I intend to do. This was never about an election.

This was about a movement, and this was about a people and a will, and the will of the people was expressed at the ballot box. And it doesn't matter what is reflected by that will, the will is what matters. Mm-hmm, okay. This just in, this guy has gone crazy. Oh, Jennifer, Jennifer, Jennifer.

I will offer you condolences if so. I would like the number of your therapist. Okay, which one?

How many phones you got? See, that's what the calendar was it should have said. Yeah, call for my therapist. Did you two, did you two watch in home room in high school? Did you have channel one news? No. No. What is that?

A bit of a regional thing. It was just like a news program geared towards, I guess, teenagers where it was like, this just in Brussels sprouts are delicious. Like, I think I wanna say Anderson Cooper was one of the anchors. What? And that's how we gotta start.

I might be wrong. So this was like a real, this was not just something that they did at your high school. Is there something they showed? No, yeah, I think it was like a, um, like an national thing. I think so. Okay. It was called Channel One News and it was like every day in high school during home room, we would sit there and for like 10 minutes we'd watch this program and then it would,

I don't know if it was pre-taped or live or what. Oh my gosh, I think it still exists. It still exists. Was Anderson Cooper- Oh no, it closed in May of 2018. It closed. Was it a brick and mortar? Yeah. It was, yeah, there was a store front in Chicago. No, they didn't. It started in 1989 and then it was, it's national debut. It was 1990. And it's like an educational program I can try to figure out what's the controversy no we know that the controversy okay but I don't know I don't know if it was meant to be played in schools but our school they were like oh this this wasn't like kids read the

news this was like adults doing news. Yeah. Okay. Okay. This is the most American thing I've ever heard what the controversy is. It was because of the commercial content on the show. Critics claimed that it was a problem in classrooms because it forced children to watch ads and wasted time in tax dollars. So they sold ads. See, it's kids, we love watching it because we're like, every minute we're watching this is a minute we don't have to be in class. Yeah, so we adored it.

So instead of learning, we're gonna advertise to you. Every moment that my child is watching an AGO commercial, they're not learning about critical race theory, which is the only thing that I care about. Lose the ads, put the CRT back in the classroom, baby. If they're looking at ego waffles, they don't have to learn anything applicable. They're gonna like, like, you, oh god, oh god, the world is so dark. If they're watching the Miwa hunting combs creature, whatever the honeycombs mascot is, which is like a rabid hedgehog or something, and they're not learning how to spell words. Honestly, you go to school to learn how to spend money and not know how to do your taxes. That is what the American

education system is all about. Did you guys ever take mental health days when you were in school? Did your parents allow for mental health days? Yeah, couple. No. My mom definitely did. That was more of a thing that was in high school. I don't think it was necessarily a thing in grade school. I had to fake sick sometimes to get out of things, but in general, sometimes if you were just really stressed, and I think we were all really stressed at high school because it was a very aggressive curriculum. We could take like a mental health day

and then not go to school. And I do remember that I got a letter that got sent home that there was like, you could have 10 excused absences a year, and I had used eight excused absences and they sent a letter to my house to be like, hey, your son is missed eight days of school. And I was like, bitch, these are excused absences. It's not like I skipped school.

I had an excuse and I have two more of them. So it's like some of it's been like, you know, you've almost used all your PTO. It's like, yeah, it's fucking mine. That's why it's like, it's like some, it's to be like, you know, you've almost used all your PTO. It's like, yeah, it's fucking mine. That's why it's there for me. It's very JPC to call an entire high school of bitch. Yeah, I would have, I mean, I think that's great to have mental health days. But yeah, when I went to school, that was back when like Coca-Cola had cocaine in it.

Serial was used to curb masturbation. I don't stop doing those jokes a while ago. You don't need to do them. It digs out. People on social media haven't. Yeah, my mom let me take mental health days, but she wouldn't let me take them on a day that she knew I had a test.

So I wasn't allowed to use them to try to avoid a test. And I would go, mom, that's the whole point. Yeah. But I do appreciate that you let me take them sometimes. There are just some days I was just like too much. If my child came up to me and they were like, I need to use a mental health day and I was like, what's going on? And they're like, well, if I use it today,

I get to skip taking this test. I have more time to cram for it. Or I get to take a makeup test, which is like a way easier version. I'd be like be like yeah that's a definite home run reason to take a middle health day are you kidding me to make a test easier I'm texting you my mom's number you have to be you to say that exactly stupid not to do it please thank you so much you're encouraging your kid to develop street smarts not just smarts I don't want to leave it if they're out there slaying cocaine for dad because I want my kids to have a drug business. I don't know if I could tell you a

single thing I learned in college or a single thing I learned from math in high school. Yeah quick what's math? It's a drug that's made in mostly trailer parks and it explodes. That's crystal Pepsi. Oh. No sleep trailer parks and it explodes. That's crystal Pepsi. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh, man. Truly, it's a while, it's a while that the high school is like, okay, welcome to math class. This little computer is going to do everything you need it to do, but you're going to sit here and learn how to talk to this computer. Where it's like, I never, there's nothing that happened in geometry or anything that I've had to apply in life ever ever Never I don't know so I as as people know

I am the bookkeeper for hey, we're in a riddle and you would not believe the number of time to have to throw fucking Trapezoids in those books. I mean, it's like it's very math heavy, but it's all geometry It's almost all geometry. I think we might be doing something wrong I hate to butt into your job But the fact that it's you just like trying to find the A&M triangles. I'm sorry Aaron, okay, leave it to me. Okay, by the way, quick meeting, we owe the IRS three acute try. We are fucked. Oh no, we are fucked. We get it for that. I spent my, I spent. I feel like society should, we should

revert to, there's a little known nonfiction book called The Giver. It was based on a time in society where you were just told what your role would be when you're a little kid. I feel like that's how we should do things. It's like, you're gonna be, hey, you three, you three are math people, and that's gonna be your focus.

And so like best of luck, and then we shove them into a boat or whatever but it just feels I don't know there's a lot we need to start teaching kids how many acute triangles they're gonna owe the government we just need to start folding here's the thing here's the thing the government already knows how many acute triangles you owe it it's all the fucking turbo tax lobbying industry that makes us do taxes this way. The government should just help me how much I am. Why should I let it tell?

I'm actually seeing here that you owe a circle and I go what? Excuse me, why? Here's what I wanna propose. I have to pay a circle in 12 days. You kidding me? Unless you can tell me this is a conference, here's what I'm proposing.

And I need the two of your support. Sure. We need to start a high school that teaches a new radical curriculum. A new. It's going to be called Hey Riddle High. Okay, my brain just smashed to the moment where we're all getting arrested.

This is called Riddle High. We need people to enroll. If you would like to enroll, email us at hrrpodcast.gima.com or go on social media and use the hashtag Riddle High. Here's what's gonna happen. We're gonna get in so much trouble. They're gonna be like, this isn't accredited.

You can't just teach kids. Aaron, Aaron. We'll be curing it out as we go. Aaron, sweetie. They let Jared Leto do whatever he does and he's gonna go to jail. Nobody lets Jared Let oh do what he does. He just like does it. Holds or something. Yeah, he is. So my man JPC Melody Aaron we are the three principles. We're not only principles. We're three teachers

And we're your three best friends and we're also the three cafeteria workers. So Oh, oh, this Something a lot of work. So in roll now, okay, in roll now, classes are gonna start probably in September, okay? So we don't have much time at all. Well, I didn't say what year? 2021.

Well, hold on. Okay, that's what I thought you meant. Maybe if we had some help from a little calendar wizard it might go I told you he's dead He died and he's dead at all at all. We don't do one more riddle. Do you have another riddle for us? I do I love the things you're in luck We have one more riddle and it's the one we never solved. Oh, shit Wait, what was it the famous politician made sure that his acceptance speech would not be misquoted.

It wasn't. What's what go on? Marvin Gaye everyone. Was it not misquoted because he took out all the spaces and just read everybody really fast? I wish. That is incorrect. Can we have a hint? I wish that isn't correct. Can we have a hint? Something someone said earlier was pretty close. Oh, was it not misquoted because he changed it to just be one word, which was just him saying like, thanks. That's the closest we've been so far.

Hell yeah, without going over. But this is, think about. No. Yeah, sorry, sorry. I was out, no. Go to your room and think about what you did I mean this is this seems like something that would even be happening with like modern-day politicians even though I'm sure this riddle was from a while ago He just said we did it Yeah, I'm actually accomplished. We just put up a banner. So this is all we're circling the right answer

So what can you do? What's the one way it's almost I think it's like a parable where it's like To do this you do this in the parable So that you room so that you don't Remove any doubt from others. How does it go? Huh, I know so now we're trying to guess a parable that you don't know This is gonna be tough so no sorry. I went to the selfish army and I found a pair of bowls that are Stunning that would go well with my armor So this is something where it's like you can bulls in an arm war

Bulls in an arm war so so what's what's the one way that they can ensure that they won't be miscoded? There's one obvious way that they What's the one way that they can ensure that they won't be miscoded? There's one obvious way that they absolutely have a person. They made it a dance. They made their acceptance speech at the visual, beautiful dance. I wish. Aaron, you're pretty much right. Can you just speak to instead of what they're doing?

Can you tell me what they're not doing? Talking. They're not talking. The politician said nothing. What's that? There's a parable that's like better to wait. That was the first thing I said. I said sunglasses and lean back.

Oh, my bed. I'm a new stuff. Well, you wanna fucking thumbs up, dude. Here you go. Oh, I got the thumbs up. That's all I want. What's a parable that's like better to- Have lots than last.

Not say anything. Better to not say anything and have people think that you're stupid than open your mouth and remove all the out. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that. It's something like, I think that's pretty stupid then open your mouth and remove all the out. Yeah, it's like a perv, oh my god. It's something like, I think that's pretty much it, exactly. Yeah, so.

Well, there's over 150 episodes of Hey Riddle, or we're just chatting, so I feel like Kat's out of the bag about how dumb we are. That's true, we're up pretty dumb. We're, we're, we're, we're, we're. Oh, Aaron, do you hear that? That was Kat's out of the bag, which means one thing, look, look, lightning round.

Ooh, we have a riddle that we have to solve in one minute or less. You too, ready? Sure. Yeah, I'm ready. I love riddles. You don't put the cat bag in the bag. He's very lonely in there.

Well, it depends on if you answer this. It's a shorting of back. So if he goes back in there, he might be dead. No, no, no. We can see and hear the cats in the bag. Well, this shorting of his bags have got down in quality. With a box, you don't see a cat's face pressed up against the cats in the bag. Oh, this surety goes bags, I've got down in quality. With a box, you don't see a cat's face pressed up against the gasping for air.

This is bad. You see their paw. Give it a head, you see their paw. Give it a head, two minutes everybody. Their paw coming out of the top of the box, she's like swatting. I love cats, I would never hurt one. Here we go,

Kevin's happy family were often negative to the people who knew them, even each other. Most people admired the family greatly. I'll read that one more time. Kevin's happy family were often negative to the people who knew them, even to each other. Most people admired the family greatly. What's going on here?

Okay, got it. Are they actors? This is a show where people are like, oh, we love that family so much, but they're so sick of each other from fucking working on set with each other every day. GBC are partially right. They are famous performers.

Oh, I was going to say that they were doctors and they would give people negative test results and that would make them feel good. Oh, Aaron, you are correct in that the term negative is used in a different way than how we usually use it. What's the way we both write? So you're both right. Aaron, did you have something you wanted to tell our audience? I said I mumbled pregnancy, but I have no more mumbles left. I'm sorry, I did have one extra mumble in my bag, but I didn't know when I told you I was

on a mumble. I didn't know I had one more. So they are entertainers who you said actors, they're entertainers? Lighting round 30 seconds left. They are famous performers, famous performers. Cir circus. Possibly. It's always. I think what we have to discover now is why negative means. So Kevin's happy family were often negative to the people who knew them. Even, even each other. Most people admired the family greatly. Oh, it's one of those restaurants where they're mean to each other. Who's the end of Bevics. Yes, it's a family of edivevics

Rip to eddebevics. Oh, they do Shakespeare together oops all the bevics Yeah, I don't know what else can be negative. Oh, is it like well now? We're doing like slams on each other or there it's it's drag race and they're all reading each other Possibly Aaron Magnitz is closer. But it's a different use of the word negative. We have 10 seconds left. Is it Feng Shui in the use of the negative space? Aaron, I don't want to put these cats back in this bag,

but you're not giving me much choice. If anyone knows anything about Feng Shui, my bedroom has two walls of windows in the wall that doesn't have the window or the closet or an indoor on it. There's not really a room for a bed, but you're not supposed to put your bed under windows, but I'm sort of running out of options here. Anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't know the answer to this rule. You've been in this place for like over a month. Just got my furniture a couple days ago. Whoa.

Must be nice. She was leaving on the floor. Aaron, here's what I'll say for a hint in terms of negative. Paul Simon. Walter Ios. That one woman who shoots any Leibowitz. Oh, photos.

A photo photograph. A negative. Kevin's family were known through their photographs, quote unquote, negatives, because they were famous performers and therefore admired. That's a little tricky, but, um, It's a little tricky because that's not how we do photos anymore.

I wanna see a scene. Aaron and JPC, the two of you are you're a couple and you are tag team photographers. So you are a famous couple that does a lot of shoots with celebrities and bands and whatnot and the two of you are doing a photo shoot and your method when you're calling for poses and all the stuff is a little unorthodox. We're going to see that while you're photography while you're photographing me, an actor who just won an Oscar. Okay Chad, Chad is it? Yeah Chad.

Okay great and we're gonna start, honey can you hit the fan? Absolutely, fans going. Hold the Oscar at pie. Give me a war chant. And I don't know if you saw him bald, so the fan is not really, it just kind of don't worry about it Don't we're not here Don't talk to us. We're not here. I'm gonna be like you're here

Are you getting allergies? Yes penicillin no don't talk don't talk to name as many state capitals as you possibly can Hello name as many state capitals as you possibly can. Hello. Name as many state capitals. Bismarck. There's a piece of spankin' pie in front of you. Take a big bite of pumpkin pie. Don't fake it. The internet's about you pie.

Eat the pie. Okay, I'm also allergic to pie. Keep the pie away from the fan. It's getting too close to the fan. We're moving the fan closer to the pie. Is your phone on you? Yeah. Call your brother. Call your brother right now. Okay. Spell Reese Witherspoon in your mind. Don't say that love. Don't say that love. Don't say that love. Spell it in your mind. Hello Josh. Hey, can you hang on for a second? Are you spelling it? Are you spelling it? Uh huh. Okay Just write Josh's spell smell to him.

Describe Josh's smell to him. Describe it. Josh, you have sort of a, it's like an unctuous, it's like an empty... Stand up straight. Stand up straight. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, mother. It's, I'm sorry. Mother.

Grab the other piece of pie. The intern's got the pie. Shit, shit, shit, shit. Okay. Home. I guess you didn't notice the intern is your brother say hello to your brother He's EWTH if you really knew your brother. You would know his smell. He's been right in front of you I got the shot. I got the shot as well, but this guy never answered a phone

Woo-hoo See I think they got it. I think they got it. I think they got it. Speaking of getting it, Aaron Keefe, do you have anything that you've gotten recently in terms of plugs or something to promote or tell people? Okay, so I want to plug this podcast in general and then also the fact that I just was a guest on it.

It's called Crushes by Deanna Ortiz and I, she's a friend of a friend, and we met at a bar recently. And I heard about her podcast, and I got home from the bar, and I did not stop listening to her podcast for like two weeks. It is so charming. It has one of the best energies of any new podcast I've ever listened to.

And she basically just talks about crushes with different comedians, like celebrity crushes you had growing up. And she plays the game hot or tall. Like is that person hot or are they just tall? And it is so funny and so fun. And she said so many good guests. And I got asked to be on it. And I had the best time. I was so nervous because I'm a huge fan. But please check it out. I think everyone would really, really enjoy it. Hockey with Tall sounds like a Patreon game that we would admit.

I know. I think that I'm like trying to get her. I wanted to come on a Patreon episode and play it with you guys, because you guys would absolutely love it. Small, hot, or tall. Aaron, can you give us a little sneak preview in terms of naming one of your crushes growing up? Maybe I said the entire cast of newsies. But maybe I didn't, I'm just gonna have to buy that.

Spoiler, she definitely did. No, maybe not, maybe I said something else. Maybe I just got to go dev Patel for way too long. Way too long. Way too long. Ooh, I just saw the Green Knight last night. I'm so excited to see it. And he's a hunk of medieval metal.

The Green Knight, I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say, the I said Uh JP see anything to plug No, just one almost stuff JP so fly on Twitter shark parkman on Instagram and Twitch coming out in the twitch chat Give his love add a little thing you like to plug. Oh Yeah, I would like to plug the we're wrapping up the third season of hello for the magic tavern. Our finale should be out in the next week or two. It does star one Aaron Keef as Momo the mouse and a few other surprise guests. So check out our finale of season three and then we're gonna take a little bit of a break.

We're gonna note on that. I've one of the hardest I've ever left on any podcast episode ever was that recording so. And then Magetember's gonna take a bit of a break. We're gonna get massages. We're gonna eat healthy. And then we're gonna be back with season four, which is gonna have all kinds of fun surprises and stuff. And we're excited to announce all that.

And then also I was a guest on a podcast called the Reasonable Beef. That's called Reasonable Beef, which I don't know if that's an Australian term, I think heaps of beef is an Australian term. Sure. But I got to talk about one of my favorite bad movies called Nothing But Trouble, so please check out a reasonable beef podcast.
