Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a head gum podcast. And the world's ain't right here But hey, we're gonna win the world We're gonna win the world But hey, we're gonna win the world But keep it your hate, we're gonna win the world Hello, gentlemen, welcome to my Habadashary Try on any hat you want Oh, okay, try on this one, now this one okay I'm bored. Ooh how stately you look. Ooh what a beautiful gentleman in such a magnificent hat. Oh which
Starting point is 00:00:54 which state? Oh you look like a true Delaware sir. Incredible. Fuck. Okay, let me check everyone. New York for sure. That hat was made for you. Yes, I'm gonna help you. I'm interested in that golden cowboy hat on the very tippity top shelf. Might I try that upon my head? That hat? The one up there? Yes. Oh wow, that hat wasn't there yesterday. Hmm, curious that that caught your eye. That's the riddle hat. Oh not interested. Oh no it's very cool. It has very interesting lore to it. Only the most worthy person. It's a real sword in the stone situation. We'll be able to put that hat in our head and pull it off. I don't know. I like to try it, wait, so if I just put it on, I'm not able to pull it off when I have to just
Starting point is 00:01:49 wear that hat for the rest of my life. Yes? Uh, no. How would I do that? Was that worth the risk? The people around the shop were about to sail the rumors they've heard about it. I've heard that it only appeared after solar eclipse. I heard it was forged in God's cave.
Starting point is 00:02:07 I heard it's biggest hat in the world. That's one person doing three voices. But it's all true. Oh, excuse me sir, sorry, sorry, second person. I don't want any trouble. Oh, it's fine. So the second person has three voices as well. Yeah, that gleaming sound, the glistening.
Starting point is 00:02:23 All right, I think I'm worthy and I think I will try it on. These two step up to the mirror. Each have convinced me. Step up to the three little part mirror. Okay. Stand on here and put the hat atop your head. Yeah! Oh, a horse appeared beneath him.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Ah. Whoa, is that part of the lore or is that something I could do? Yeah, both, I suppose. I've never seen anyone pull a hat off like that. The riddle hat looks incredible on you. That'll be $1,200. Hold on, hold on. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Come on, there's tags we're in Delaware. That seems like a fair price to me. Absolutely. Fair price, you have a uniform on you work here. Do we? Yes. And we work on commission in this month's been slow. Hold on, I can take that head off easily.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Wait a second, is this whole thing just a con to get me to buy a $1,200 hand? No. Bale, bale, bale. It's a con to get you to be on a riddle podcast. Is it working? I'm Erin Keefe. And the Happy Dash Reewalls fall down and the live audience appears.
Starting point is 00:03:32 And also a key. And also a key. Your other host, Adora Fie. Bess, you didn't know you were eating a pizza? Huh. And I'm JPC, the third and final host of the show. My sweet friends. Hello.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Hello, sweet friends. Hello. Hello sweet friend. I'll grab both of your hands and clasp them to my heart and say hello sweet friends. I want to apologize for our last recording. I was a big old grump. And you deserve better. And I was grumpy last time, but I woke up on the right side of the bed this morning. I'm happy to see my friends. I think you're both very sweet and so, so small. And I just love you so much and I'm gonna have a good attitude today. Aaron, we love you. Wow, I don't think you're a grumpy last time.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Aaron, apologies, except that I'm just so glad to hear that you said that you were grumpy because you woke up on the side of the bed. I thought it was the uncle's hand to think that maybe put you in the wrong mood. And I'm glad to hear that I had nothing to do with it. I'm going to wash my hands and be absorbed in the room. I feel like we are. Whoa, I need an imparting example of your apology. So now you're in a very sticky situation, don't you find yourself in that?
Starting point is 00:04:39 I do. And you know what? Maybe I'll just retaliate by playing Uncle Santa for this entire episode. How about that? Let's just say moving forward, if anyone ever appears to be grumpy on the Zoom, uh-huh. Everyone, the other two people have absolute free reign to play Uncle Santa. I don't know how punishment for the person being grumpy.
Starting point is 00:04:59 I don't know how you think something that brings me infinite joy is going to be a punishment for me. And I like how as adult friends we're thinking of ways to punish each other. That's kind of fun and cool. Well, we are adults of a certain age where we have to start thinking about punishment now because if we have children we're going to need to punish them and so you got to start getting these creative juices flowing again. We haven't punished something in far too long, I would say. Right. Yeah, we gotta to keep those muscles tight. Mm-hmm. What's up?
Starting point is 00:05:28 I've just been tightening my punishments. I'm just f**king having my boutiques. Actually, I actually did have something that I wanted to ask you to. Yeah, of course. It's not really a riddle, but it's a bit of a hypothetical situation. And it's a bit of a, what would you do in this situation? Okay. Like the TV show, I love it. So you got the grocery store, right? You have, let's say you drove and let's say you're putting
Starting point is 00:05:50 your groceries in your car. Now, your first dilemma, your cart, you have it next to your car. Do you just throw that cart anywhere in the fucking park? You'll just push it as far away from you as possible. Or do you take it back to the cart return? Who hurt you? You take it to the cart return, okay? That's my first psychopath test.
Starting point is 00:06:07 You would not get the second part of this if you just said you ditch the cart anywhere. That way it didn't say anything to do. But yeah, sometimes if it's cold enough, I will bring it back into the store. I don't want someone to have to come out in the cold and get it. So I do someone in high school
Starting point is 00:06:23 who used to do the cart return like job and they said it was their favorite part of the job because no one monitored how long it took them to do the cart return. So they would just go out and do the cart return. I was like, okay, I'm not gonna deprive someone of that fun. Do the cart return sounds like a dance in the 90s? I love this country.
Starting point is 00:06:40 So much of our jobs are killing time and trying to not be at our jobs. I love it here. I mean we do a podcast Which is a medium best enjoyed while killing job killing time at your fake jobs So that's killing jobs killing jobs. Oh, that's my next podcast. It's like an alt history It's a bill or I leave book He's ready got an idea. He's ready for content. Okay, so here's here's the actual test You go to put your cart return back.
Starting point is 00:07:06 And you cart back in the cart return. And in the cart return zone, you see. You saw baby goat. Oh, is it baby goat? And it's not a baby goat. Easy, that's you eat the goat. For sure you eat the goat. Hi, I'm the hill, there's a loony.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Go turn, hey, ho, lily, ho, lily. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. What is it, what is it? Whatever this it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is it, what is, I'm sure. Love it. Need it. I'll get a tempo, not my phone. Miss you. So you're in the cartoon and you see in the cartoon a cart that is empty except at the very front, the top part of the cart, you know, the cart mirrors to the hand rail.
Starting point is 00:07:55 You see two dozen, perfectly fine cage-free eggs sitting there. Yes. No one in sight, no one's running back to be like, my eggs, my eggs, I forgot my eggs. They're in the cart return. That's no man's land. Do you or do you not take the eggs? Were they in a bag or were they just in their little
Starting point is 00:08:15 care? No, no bag, just, just, but let's, to put this in context, it's a Costco that doesn't have bags. It's a place that there are no bags. Yeah. So it's, it's just your two dozen eggs and their little egg carrier. Yes. When you say take the eggs, do you mean you take them home with you or take them back inside? I mean, these are your eggs now. No. I don't want you. I've never taken them back. You take these eggs.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Oh, the part makes me cry the most. It's not eggs when they sing it, but. Yeah. I mean, take these and consume them. These are your eggs to eat. Here's what I say. Here's honest answer. I would spend eight to 12 hours trying to find the owners of the eggs. If I could not, I would take them home because eggs have their own wrappers and they're not just soft wrappers. They're hard wrappers. Yep. So it's not like anyone could like Taint the inside of the egg because as soon as you do the structural integrity of the shell breaks apart and you will know. Yeah, so I think Eggs are maybe the only food I think truly the only food I would ever take that was left in the cart like that. Okay. I don't want your eggs
Starting point is 00:09:24 I got these just for you, keep your eggs. That's gonna be my head all day. Check out, please go to Spotify and listen to 21 Chump Street. It is a phenomenal sort of 22 minute musical. Okay, so. And yes, I meant to say chump. Yes.
Starting point is 00:09:41 It is 21 Chump Street. It's great. So here's what's. Hey, as always, I am completely fucking lost. No. It is 21 chump street. It's great. So here's what's always I am completely fucking lost. No, this is great. So I my theory on people leaving stuff behind is I don't always think that you should. First of all, I would never take them and they would never be my eggs. That's not that's not the business. I will ever be our eggs. I got my own eggs, the minding my own business. But I think I'm just leaving it there and not even bringing it back into the store because I think they're most likely to just put that back on the shelf and wait for it maybe someone to come in. I think that someone's
Starting point is 00:10:16 going to remember they left their eggs in the first place they're going to check is the cart they brought back. So I think I'm just leaving it hoping for the best. Okay, so here's my issue. I actually don't think there's, I don't think there's a store in the country that would just take those eggs and put the back of the shelf. I think that they would throw them away. I think there's a mom and pop store that would,
Starting point is 00:10:35 but you chain would not. This is a chain. Let's, we'll call this one of this, a Costco. I think that they'll be like, we can't put these eggs back on the shelf. Like there's their charges. So why not leave them where someone will look first? Because here is my thing.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I don't think people are driving back to Costco because they forgot the eggs. Costco is the thing that you go for a ton of stuff. And I think that there are so many points of failure that like the people would not think, oh, cart, like I put left my eggs in my cart, they would think I left my eggs at the Costco. I should go back to the kitchen. Where in the cart were they? Where in the little front part? For the front part, the front part.
Starting point is 00:11:13 They know they're gonna check the cart first. That's the fan, that's like what I call the fanny pack of the cart. Because it sits right about your waist level and it's just a little pouch to put stuff in so I called the fanny pack. And I have walked back to Jewel, Osco, in at Chicago in the rain. It was like a 15, 20 minute walk from my house because I forgot like a $4 thing. It's the principle of it. It's also like a mental health thing where you're like, I actually am not going to be cheated out of this. When you feel like you've lost control and the train just won't come. Well, I don't know if
Starting point is 00:11:43 you leave something in the car. I don't know if you were cheated at. If you were, you think that your experience is the universal experience here. You think most people would go walk 15 minutes in the rain for $4? I think that a third of the population has a sort of like, the latest thing where you go, you know what? I live 16 minutes away from Costco. I'm just gonna drive back and see if my eggs are still in that cart.
Starting point is 00:12:10 If not, I'm gonna walk in and ask. I want my eggs. I need my eggs. I accidentally left a switch that I bought at Target in the cart and I just ordered one online. Could not be bothered. He doesn't say into me. What if you're like, I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Well, I know, but I'm just saying that way of thinking is insane to me because even if it's something cheap, like what if, like you go home and you go, I was gonna make a frittata. Yeah. My frittata plans are completely dashed. I've done it before where I've got some food, like to go food, brought it home, opened it up
Starting point is 00:12:41 and it wasn't vegetarian. And I was just like, if it's a place that I can call, all I call and be like, hey, is there anything, can I get it taken off my bill or something? And if not, I just throw it away. Because the one thing I'm not gonna do is like drive 20 minutes there and then 20 minutes back. Like I'm not gonna add another 40,
Starting point is 00:12:58 my time is more valuable than me, like, correct, that's how I feel. If I notice it, if I pick up my food and I'm like, oh, let's just look at it right here. Oh, I'm in the parking lot. if I pick up my food and I'm like, oh, let's just look at it right here. Oh, I'm in the parking lot. Sure, I'll go back and I'm like, oh, actually this has meat in it, but honestly, any other context,
Starting point is 00:13:10 40 minutes out of my way, no fucking way. Anything under $20, I'm not going back for. Well, this is a perfect, I had a literal moment where I didn't, it was like, my time is not valuable, mother fuckers. I've got all day, this past Saturday, and I had a friend in town, and I was like, waste my time, mother fuckers. I've got all day, this past Saturday, and I had a friend in town,
Starting point is 00:13:26 and I was like, waste my time, I dare you. I gotta say, Aaron, this is the wrong choice. Immediately, friend in town, I know this is a friend, this is like a friend from high school, right? Yeah, I care about her so much. Wrong choice. No, great choice. She's supportive.
Starting point is 00:13:39 So, I go, there is this CVS that is kicking my fucking ass in LA. I said no one ever. I truly was like, I never had problems with CVSs in the past. I love you CVS, you're great. This CVS, this is the most errand story. This is the most errand story ever. I have waited in line for two hours.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I think this is a common problem with pharmacies right now. A lot of people have to wait and really, really long lines for their medicine. This place is also... They're short staffed. They have one person working. They're disorganized. I'm mad.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I walk in the door mad now, because I go like, I don't even need to ramp up to it. Let's just start mad. And I walk in on Saturday, and there's no line. And it looks like it's gonna be smooth sailing and I went, what the fuck is this gonna be?
Starting point is 00:14:23 Yeah. I smell despair in the air. You're like a pirate on the high seas. And I go up and I go to pay for my medicine. And one of my medicines that is normally like $15 is $180. And I go, If you're at us, you pay it and you say thank you.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Here's a $2 tip. And I said, what about my insurance? And they said, what insurance? And I go, the insurance card that's worked every time I've been in here. And they were like, oh, they're insurance, and they looked it up, took about 20 minutes. They said, they canceled it.
Starting point is 00:14:56 And I was like, why did they cancel it? I can see the little payment on my phone right here of me paying it just last week. The payment went through. Why would they be canceling my insurance? And they said, I don't know. And then I must have had such crazy eyes of what ones I get from my mom,
Starting point is 00:15:13 the sort of like fucking, whoa. And so, get out of my Honda board. Exactly, another employee came up to me and was like, I'll deal with this. And then, and then I sit down.
Starting point is 00:15:23 I just sit down in the middle of an aisle. It's the baby aisle. Well, any aisle that a grown woman is sitting down at the middle of is going to be the baby aisle. Exactly. And I'm just like pat like him on my phone. I call. I'm on hold for 20 minutes and then for 30 minutes, I am trying to talk to this man who is sweet but annoying for my insurance. Oh, well, what? What? Cheers are burning.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Yeah, hi. It was adult. And I had to sort of just beg him to just, I was like, do you understand that this is a little frustrating? Yeah. That's like half of the price of what I'm paying for insurance just for what one medicine. There's literally no reason why you this got canceled and you're like, yeah, I'm not seeing a reason why. And I go, well, will it happen again? And I go, because I actually could get pretty sick if I don't take this every day. I'm in dire straits here. You need to give
Starting point is 00:16:14 it to me today or tomorrow, I'm kind of fucked. And he was like, I don't know what to tell you. It's reinstated. I don't know what to tell you. And then I go back up, and then they're like, it's actually still canceled. And I was like, I got all day. All day. And there was another hour and a half on. You get prescription strength sweet tarts, is that right? Exactly, it's candy and I need it. It cheers me up, Adel, and that's important too.
Starting point is 00:16:38 But it was an hour and a half back and forth, ended up that they couldn't, it takes 40 hours to reinstate. I was like, but I need this medicine now, and they're like, oh my God. And then I eventually, the woman who was being so condescending to me, I went, what do you think I should do? What do you think I should do?
Starting point is 00:16:55 And she was like, oh, and then I, and I was being polite, but that was the one time I was like, oh, I think, and then I had to pay the money for it. And I kept my receipt, and now I have to call and sort of beg the insurance company to pay back my money. I was like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't, you can fuck me on eggs. You can't fuck me on medicine. Like I accept getting fucked in on it. It's also an illogical injustice. If there's gonna be an injustice, if I didn't pay something, you could throw me down the stairs. Do whatever.
Starting point is 00:17:35 But if I did everything right, and you're being addicted to me, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And listeners, if you enjoyed what you hear, please check out the new book and play, the CVS monologues by Wendy Wasserstin. So anyway, I kept the eggs. I just took them home and they were my eggs now. Aaron, do you have some riddles for us?
Starting point is 00:17:55 Wait, I had a hypothetical. Here's my hypothetical. What would you do if your son was at home? He's crying all alone on the bathroom floor because he's hungry. What's the only way to feed him? See with a man for a little bit of money. Do it. If it's the only way, that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Oh, city high, city high. Aaron has, Aaron has laughed herself off camera. Aaron, I'm up it. About twice in episode, Aaron will laugh so hard that she unplugs every quarter. That's what just happened. That's what Casey calls his favorite moments. Better. Is that better?
Starting point is 00:18:34 Is that better? It's better. Yeah, so how long did I just talk for? I blacked out. Don't worry about it. Let's just do, let's at least do one rental and then we can take a break. Great. Great.

Starting point is 00:47:28 So I've been doing a lot of online team building games, like trivia games, online puzzle hunts for companies and stuff, which has been fun. So that's been like my business has been shifted entirely into doing virtual stuff. That's amazing. You had one of my early in the pandemic.
Starting point is 00:47:45 You had one of my favorite things, it's hard to say favorite things during the pandemic, but it was. It's one of the things that helped keep you sane, which was the Alinea puzzle hunt, which I was doing daily with my friend Brett Lyons, it was very fun. Yeah, that was a huge thing for me.
Starting point is 00:48:00 And it was also like, I heard from a lot of people that that kept them sane at the beginning of the pandemic. It was like April, May of 2020. Excuysedly done. Congratulations on that. Yeah, thank you. And you know, I've been doing a lot of things that are like that, but for private companies and then also like hour long trivia games. The craziest thing I did that was in person, someone hired me in that in summer of 2021, whenever a thing was blissful for a few months. To get things.
Starting point is 00:48:28 To run a bespoke escape game on a private jet. What? What? I know. It's as crazy as it sounds. Oh my God. How much details can you give us? How much details?
Starting point is 00:48:40 I don't come on. I can tell you, I can tell you a lot of it. I mean, the guy wanted to make a party for his friend. He had, has money and he decided to rent a jet, a private jet, and we flew from Chicago to New York, which is about an hour and a half to our flight. And he's like, I want a game for these like six people on the, for me and my five friends on the flight, theme to this guy's, you know, 50th birthday. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Were you on the plane? And I was in the plane. Wow. And so that was a little, and a little component waiting, 45 minutes later, and they opened it up, but I only have an hour of oxygen, please.
Starting point is 00:49:19 And like the overhead container. So I had never been on a private jet before. And it was exciting, although it is just, you know, you're on a plane. It's just all our, it must less room to move around. And then when we got there, I don't know if you know this about where private jets land in New York, but they land in Teterburg, which is in New Jersey. That's the most, I'm sorry, that is the most elitist sentence I've ever heard. I don't know if you know this about private planes. Come on, Sandy. Come on. I didn't say,
Starting point is 00:49:49 I don't know if we're you flying to. I'm covered in dirt right now for no reason at all. So no, I don't know where they fly into. So I didn't know this either. You can't fly a private jet into Manhattan. You fly it in Tederborough and then you, which is a new jersey and then you take a helicopter. And so this guy also rented a helicopter. So we got this helicopter tour. My God. Manhattan was amazing. Wow. Speed night.
Starting point is 00:50:10 And then it was very nice. And I'm saying this out loud. So more people hear that this is an option and throw money at me so I can do it. I think I think you're confused. I think you're confused by what tax bracket listeners are in. They are Baroque grad students who cry. I say, or listeners money. If they all put pool their money together, I can go on a private jet again.
Starting point is 00:50:34 We might have some helicopter pilots that was it, but it's less cool. For them, it's just work. Yeah, Gemma's a fighter to it. Is that close? It's very close. Yeah, I'll do it. I'll do an escape or mana on a spirit jet. That sounds fun.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Sandy, I have to ask out of curiosity, what was the food like on this private plane? It was Cheez-It's in Doritos. Of course. I don't know. Why would you think there'd be... You think there's like a full meal on a flight from New York to Chicago to New York?
Starting point is 00:50:59 Am I the only person here who's seen the movie's shopgirl with Steve Martin? Yes. Yes, I'm sorry. That it might be that I am positive. If I've seen it, it's been so long. The only person here who's seen the movie's shop girl with Steve Martin? Yes. Yes. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That it might be that I am following you.
Starting point is 00:51:08 If I've seen it, it's been so long. Sandy, my question is, if it wasn't a scape room, did they get out? Yeah, well, it was, and plummeted to their death. The challenge was to get into a lock suitcase and then inside that kid, inside a locked bag. And then they did and then the prize was basically like, the news about what they were gonna be doing in New York, which was going to a fancy dinner at Perse. Oh, Eric Repair.
Starting point is 00:51:36 No, it's Perse. Excuse me, did somebody call for it? Eric Repair? Oh my God, you're Eric so loud awake. Let me just rinse just read. I could have sworn. For good as the Eric repair the king of modern seafood. No, it's what's the guys name that fresh laundry guy. Oh, the king of modern seafood. But here's the cool thing. Shrip fall every world. Is that I got to go, so they were doing a thing
Starting point is 00:52:06 before dinner, so I got to go to per se and get the attention of the matredi who helped me set up the final puzzle at the dinner table, which involved a cryptex, which is like one of those things you see in National, what's in Dan Brown's movie? Dan Brown, David G good. Yeah, and then I made a little note that had a handwritten
Starting point is 00:52:25 note on it and the puzzle was to heat it up and there were these candles on the table and so they had to put the card on top of the candles and it's called the ink erased from the heat and maybe just a few marks. Anyway, that was exciting. That's amazing. I looked it up. LeBernadenne was what I was thinking. That's Eric Repair's place. We didn't really have time for it. I had another character prepared, which was French laundry. But we, Sandy, we have to get into some puzzles. I don't know. JBC, I was crying. My wife's on the room. My wife's on the room.
Starting point is 00:52:53 And what, you were really throwing everything at the wall. I don't know. I get to do these stames at this Italian laundry. Eric repair was very, very good. JBC, but... Sandy, do you have some puzzles for us, uh, uh, lowly non commercial flyers, uh, for, for today's, uh, podcast? I do have some puzzles for you. Wait, so puzzles per se, per se.
Starting point is 00:53:15 So the, the puzzle said I have today, uh, I don't have a name for it, but, uh, let me just describe it. I'll come back with one. I'm gonna give you two words. I'm gonna be a liter, a literative. And you're gonna have to change one of the words to something else in the same category to make a common phrase or, let's say, a or a name. So as an example, if I said walrus wrench to W's, you would change walrus.
Starting point is 00:53:40 You could change walrus to an animal or you could change a wrench to a tool. But in this case, you change walrus to another animal, which is a monkey. You got monkey wrench, which is a common wrench. Monkey wrench, a bunch of hot dogs. This is a nice, yeah, it makes sense. Okay, so let's get started. Let's say fat Friday. Fat Friday.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Fat Friday. Okay. Fat Friday. I'm going to change a Friday to another day of the week to make it Tuesday and say fat Tuesday. Fat Tuesday is correct. That Tuesday.
