Oh yeah. Well, you wore all, uh, all chalkboard. And you said, Chalkboard, yeah. There was the day I wore all clear, but, you know, you saw me then, but yeah, the chalkboard day was all right. Ha. And I told you, we can't use that term all clear

because that's what we say when we sweep the school from out lines, all clear. Right. And instead say when we sweep the school from outlines. Right. And instead there was a nude boy. There was a nude boy. I don't know what you're talking about. I loved your fashion, which brings us to today's lesson. No, Mr. Candle's still a bad boy who's smoking in the back of the class who he didn't call on.

Wait, who's that revving their motorcycle? Lippert, come a damn... Sup. Holy shit! Oh, wow! He's so cool. Wait, no, you're the teacher. Get it in control. Mr. Lippert, can we get off our motorcycle, please?

Teacher, no, you're sweaty. I know, I'm just so nervous. He's so bad. But it's just weak of school. Yeah, he smokes cigarettes and rides his motorcycle in class every day. Man, he's so cool. What product do you use in your hair, Mr. Lippert? Um... um... moose. Holy shit. Whoa, he's got moose in there.

Well, he knows the name of the product. He doesn't care so much. He forgot what it was. No free pub. Wow. You gotta pay me to get my product pubbed. Mr. Lippert, would you mind doing some donuts on your bike in the classroom? Yeah, no problem. Can we all fit on there?

Come on, class. Let's hop on this hog. All problem. Can we all fit on there? Come on, class. Let's hop on this hog. All right. It's just you on there right now. Wee! Wee! Oh, my God. My toes!

My toes! My toes! Out, out, out, my desk! My desk! Oh, oh, oh, my toes! He's desk, my toes! Sorry, guys. It's just having a dream, the dream again.

You know the one I told you about where I'm a teacher and you're all my bad nasty little students. Yeah, I'm out of reply. I'm out of reply. Share that. I'm Erin Keepe. I'm GPC. And we have two guests today, Ryan Rosenberg and Dan Lippert, who you already met. And this is another episode of Hey Riddle Riddle.

The podcast where we... Trying to solve riddles? I don't feel great saying that. I don't feel great. Hi Dan, hi Ryan, how are your summers going? How are you? Oh, great question. They're fantastic.

It's a hot one. I do feel like I'm about seven inches from the midday sun. Oh too close Now that's a song. Yeah, I know that that's a Rob Thomas Santana song. That's right. Well That's a Santana song featuring Rob Tullis. Okay. Let's give credit with it Could you imagine Santana being on a song and it not being his yeah right? That dude's freaking hitting tasty licks non stop every song. He's on his his What was it was he in a band or was he just solo his whole career so I'm gonna explain this to me recently Wow, I've learned a lot about Santana recently, okay, and I've maybe even set it on a podcast or learned it on a podcast

You're in a new club of guys who all dress like that. Yeah, we're the store the hat boys Because you're in a new club of guys who all dress like that. Yeah, we're the store the hat boys. And he, I, it didn't, I thought supernatural was unique in that he was duetting with a bunch of artists, but he's never sing the singer on his songs. Like, black magic woman, that's not him singing. It's always been him playing guitar. Interesting. And somebody else singing on the songs, which was a surprise to me. Catchy, yeah, I always when he charted like a monster in the 90s, I always was like,

oh, maybe he, because there was an era where it was like Don Henley and Joe Walsh and all these people from Bigger Phil Collins, people from Bigger bands went solo. And you're just supposed to know what they were from. And then Santana was like, was he in some group and then left to go solo, but I guess he was just always a shredding guitarist. Yeah, it's been explaining to me two weeks ago, and I already forgot what he did before.

I think he like, I think he did, I covered some songs and rocked it, and then kind of realized that he could do it with people and people would like it. I think that's like, maybe what happened, but I can't remember. There's a two or three year period in my high school where a micro-per-friends would just obnoxiously,

you go to the lunch line and you say, like, gimme, so milk, make it whole, or else forget about it. Like, everything we said was in that cadence. That's awesome. So it's almost like, hey, Fred Schneider, what are you doing? Or whatever.

But it was that one lyric. Does it sing though? When you say he duets, he just plays guitar while someone says he's... Yeah, he makes it sing. Yeah, he's the guitar, it's really. Yeah, that's singing, man. Okay, I don't know, I'm not a synthetic guy. Yeah, he makes it sing. Yeah, he's the guitar, it's really good. Yeah, that's singing, man. Okay, I don't know, I'm not a synthetic guy, I don't have the hat.

Apparently you've never listened to Peter Frampton who makes the guitar talk to the audience. Here I am. Wow. Wow. Adel, can you remember any other little tunes like that? Because we can definitely make up a million. But if you have any, I would love to.

I thought a lot. A lot more food related So there's like give me some shrimp make them grilled or else forget about it It's crazy. We would have been perfect friends in high school I know I know Somebody once and this was a sincere request, but they said give me a kiss make it for entrails forget about it So just I, we were wild child.

We were so proud of this. Wow, really. Party animals, huh, Adam? Wow. The person will come by and shush us and we'd quiet down like a little happily. Yeah.

Give me a shush, make it quiet. Oh, my God. We might as well just park a squad car outside that high school because we're going to be going there every day Dana Ryan it was so good to see you. We saw you not too long ago in LA We went to a very nice Italian place and had some pasta. We went for drinks

We recorded an episode of Mannow dog. I felt like we got to see a lot of you Amanda. I always Twats okay. I changed the name halfway through. Yeah, no you. Amanda, I always. It's what's okay. I need to say the name halfway through. Yeah. No, it's a great name. You guys did nothing wrong. This one's on that matter. That's what I just need to read. It is not matter. Yes. Man. But yeah, it was so nice to see so much. Yes. That was a nice weekend. Wasn't it? And here to comment. Well, I will say anything for us. You're go to at all at every time we do a podcast together, we simply have to mention that other Italian place that I'm forgetting the name of now.

Oh, not book at a befo. It's a little little doll. A little doll. Is your go to the mushroom Pasta couldn't possibly be no, it's not I hate mushroom. Oh, I just got that last time I was there and it was so good And I thought of you because I was like this is Adel's favorite I feel like I usually get I always get the girl artichoke. I always get something something with meatballs because their meatballs are pretty great And then I can't remember what else I get they also have like a little deli connect

I want to order something with meatballs. It's something with Something sir. We have spaghetti meatballs No, that's not it. Can I get that? That's not it. The rib eye meatballs. I can't hear all the time. It's something of meatballs It's duck and large meatballs But they have a little deli connected to the space that has surprisingly phenomenal sandwiches. It's good. I love how you use this space. The space. I'm a bit of a chef myself behind. Wow. You said that. You said that like every acting teacher I've ever had.

Yeah. Explore the space. Sir, you're just bumbling around the restaurant. Come on. What was interesting about that visit, the dinner night, is I don't really do second locations much anymore. I get pretty tired pretty quickly. So, say I was kidnapping you, and I said, get in the car, and you get in, and then I say, I'm going, you got to a field, what do you do? Do you say, I don't do second locations? Yeah, I'm a little tired, I got work in the morning.

It's just for the pandemic, It's just hard for me lately. You know, I've lost my social stamina. So I would love to share. Whatever's happening, let's do it in the car. I love how I love it. You're like, I don't do second locations. I'll get in the car, but that's where I go. I'm going to drink drinks in the car.

Yeah. That's the thing. If they ever try to get you into a car, that's fine. But if they start going to a second location, that's where you draw the line. Never go with the keys. Turn in the ignition. You're screwed. We went to a second location that night. We went to a second location and it was wonderful to keep hanging out. And I got really tired just from life and second location. But I was like, I don't want to stop hanging out. And that's always a tough place to be where it's like, this is not an indicator, but you gotta do it.

Your friends are in town from Chicago. It's not an indicator of like, this hang, I would have done a third location, but I hate that feeling now where I get pretty tired, pretty quickly, and I'm just kind of like, it's sometimes my niece will like it's bedtime and she keeps thinking of new conversations to stay awake but she's like loopy and I kind of felt that way. Yeah you started halfway through going like if you guys were kind of cheese what kind of cheese would

you be? And every time Dan went to get in his Uber, I was like, why is this guy? Hey Dan, why is this guy? And you just kept patting me on my head and putting a bunch of leaves over my chest. Yeah. I think a shush, shush, get a bit. Go to sleep. And then Aaron was like, I need a ride home.

Can you guys please take me home? And then we go, I'm going for an executive. I'm going to go. That's my nightmare. I think I said sorry the whole time. You kept trying to change the subject, because I just am sitting here in the back feeling so sorry. Something that you guys truly did that was memorable to me,

because I don't think many people do this. If anyone I know does this, I called an Uber. I think you were like, we could give you a ride. I'm like, no, no, I'm in the opposite direction. And then you were like, well, we'll stay with you into your Uber arrives And I thought that was just like the most pleasant thing that you guys could possibly do. Wow Wow very nice location and you'll stay and wait for your Uber

This is a good guy. This is a good guy. I mean you guys didn't talk to me the whole time you were pissed Oh, man, I'll tell you what, I was ready to leave it appetizers before the mains and before the second location. I was like, this was fine. I prefer it on some sort of intermediary like a computer would be better for me. Well, that's why we love your honesty, Ryan. Well, I love that you guys bought dinner. That was fantastic. Hey, oh, Well, I love that you guys bought dinner. That was fantastic. Pressio.

Why does that get we didn't pay for dinner? Uh-oh. I think we stole better from that restaurant. That was the night that I did something so insane. And it was so insane that I was like, oh my god, I'm turning into my mom, which was JPC and I were the last to arrive. We walked up to the hostess

and we know we're meeting people. And... And this was, by the way, I laughed so hard at Aaron, which he did this. Hi. Hi. She said, table for two? And with all the confidence in the world,

I went, yes. Thank you. And I said, no. I didn't, we're meeting a party of like six. And JPC was like, we're meeting a party of like six. And she was like, we can see our party of six at their table. There and I, there and our eye line.

Aaron said, yes, so much faster than I was able to be like, oh, we're meeting people. I was shocked by how fast she said that we were dining together. Now, where do you think that came from? Did you just totally forget or were you just like sort of like, do the conversation? I think I truly, if I, you know how like you just sort of accidentally copy the rhythm of your parents, you just sort of turn into them.

My mom just sort of has this insane blind confidence of delusion where she forgets what's going on sometimes. And then dies laughing. And I just felt like I was my mom for a second. I black out and turn into my mom. I can't tell you the sort of leading question of a host can really throw you in terms of my entire life whenever I go into a restaurant.

It's always will you be dining with us or if I'm with three people, they'll be like table for three or whatever that is. Do you have reservations? And one time, only once in my life, I went into a restaurant, and the host literally said, she looked at me and she goes, can I help you? And I'd never heard that response

or that initiation from a host. And so I stood there for a minute and I go, uh, yeah, I eat some food, and that's literally what I said is can I eat some food? And she goes, of course, but I was so thrown by the, what I said is can I eat some food and she goes of course I was so thrown by the What I was expecting the host to say and then what they said and it the closing that gap so it took so long mentally Because I was unprepared for it that you panicked have either of you ever worked at a restaurant

Mm-hmm, right. We're to cheesecake factory Yes, so well a rib company, what's that called? Yes, the Naples rib company down in Long Beach and then I also worked at a Chili's. Wow. I love the Chili's part. The dream. Wait, Dan, did you say you worked at Cheesecake Factory?

No, Ryan did. I looked at a place called Carl Strasse, a restaurant, brewery. I have a question for you, Ryan, for the Cheesecake Factory. Did you have to fill out like a personality test before you worked at the Cheesecake Factory. Did you have to fill out like a personality test before you worked at the Cheesecake Factory? Yes. Wow, I did that too. I did, I had, it was like a 200 question,

like personality quiz. It's crazy, it feels like you're like taking like the men in black quiz or something. It's like so long and like. Did you shoot a little girl? It was not that nice. So she must have been an alien? That's honestly how I got it.

No, it was crazy. Yeah, and then they, they don't really tell you what the results of the personnel at the quiz are, but they were like, yeah, we're just trying to, we try to have like a variance of types of people. So if we have a lot of this type, we'll get, and I'm like, I don't know, it seems like just like, it was a psychopath test or something, I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, it seems, it's very strange. And like, there, there, are as far as I know, what are the only restaurants that does that? They do so much crazy stuff. Before you can start working there, you have to do. I don't know why, but this is the best news. The cheesecake factory is so weird. It is like the most core thing in the name.

We'll be out you saying the name so they don't come after you like Scientologists do. Yeah, yeah, yeah. it's bigger than that dude We're gonna work out whether she's kicking your bed. Oh, I fucking hope so I Have a customer who's worked at the cheesecake factory for like 20 years and she like her husband makes a really good money And she doesn't really need to work but she loves Working there so much and she loves her like friends that she's made of her. And there's a group of them that have been there for over a decade and they just love

the cheesecake factory. It's very strange. I had a different experience. That's crazy stuff. Well, the crazy thing of the corporentness of it is just that there's a million things on the menu. So you have to do, you start by working and then you get hired and then you go to like a local cheesecake

factory and do a week of like classroom studying. Like you're stashing at the cheesecake factory. Sort of, but like you just look at the menu a bunch and then like at the end you dress up in your cheesecake like all whites with a tie and then you sort of like tour the restaurant that for me. For me, I wish that got it was like blue collar fat,

like they was like jumpsuits and like goggles, like factory, or position, where. Really intense like, yeah, assembly line stuff. Yeah, yeah. But it was, it was the weirdest job ever because they're so serious about it.

And then it's cheesecake. You know what I mean? It's just, it doesn't make sense. It's the same job as every other job so serious about it and then it's cheesecake. You know what I mean? It's just not, it doesn't make sense. It's the same job as every other job. You just have the restaurant serving the food. Right. And they would always get mad at people for not having clean enough uniforms. And I'm like, literally, you serve every messy thing in the world and we wear all white.

Like what do you expect? It's wild. All right. I know we have done it in riddles yet. People are going to be, sure we do. Justifiably upset. I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it in a Carlos yet and people are gonna be a Justifiably upset St. Hannah's career that was real yeah, it's a little riddle. I do want to see a quick seed

I think we have to kill each other or one of us has to kill the other and whoever lives gets to stay and working. Oh, oh no. Oh, you're holding that sword wrong. You just impaled yourself. I Panicked. Oh, no. Oh No, you were such a promising student. You're at the cheesecake factory. Well, you've moved on to the next Round am I doing good or am I just kind of locking in the thing? Well, you are coasting by but we need to hire someone by Tuesday So I'll get for you. Okay. Okay. All right next you'll meet the Oracle I'm kind of lucky in a thing. Well, you are coasting by, but we need to hire someone by Tuesday, so...

Exchanging cheesecakes. Again, yes, little fishery. Oh, I see the Oracle has a table with every dish laid out in front and I have to choose one and if I choose correctly I get hired, is that right? Various dude. Okay. Yes. Various dude, guess. Yes. Yes. That isn't happens. Yes. Wow. It has been foretold that somebody would know exactly what the cakes here were for.

But this one is still scared. I sense fear inside of them. Oh. Yeah, I guess I'm a little nervous, because I need a job for the summer and also my brother's outside waiting and I want to hurry up for him Well, he'll just have to wait

Little bit longer Please, please please Can't you tell your brother? Okay, I choose the bang bang shrimp Very good the best best cheesecake of them all. See. This is a bang bang shrimp cheesecake. Wait, am I crazy?

Cheesecake factory have food. Yeah, they have. Absolutely. You're not crazy. You're not crazy. They do have food. God, I'll tell you what, that is a missed opportunity. They do need savory cheesecakecakes, I think.

I'm going through a lot of them. No, there's a place in New Orleans that serves alligator cheesecake. Really? Give it a little bit of your palate. If you're a blowout in your palate. It's the most empty place in New Orleans. You'll know it by the known line.

It's classically a good food town, except this one place is always empty. Now, we all want table in the middle of this one. You'll know it by the no line. It's classically a good food town, except this one place is always empty. Now we all want table in the middle of this one. But we do serve the only, and I got a cheesecake. Can you imagine going to cheesecake factory, ordering the big, big shrimp as your odd tray, they'd be like, let's get dessert,

and then be like, do you want to try the big, big shrimp? Yeah, you've done all that. It's pretty good. Whoever you're's pretty good. It's pretty good. Whoever you're with is like, do you just come here all the time and do this? We'll speak again coming here all the time and doing this. We should get to A-Riddle. Yes.

Here we go. Here's our first riddle of the show. How do you make the number one disappear? What's the number one disappear? Erase it is pretty good. You can just lock it down the toilet. What's the toilet of the one disappeared? Erased it is pretty good That's a phenomenal answer, but not not the one I see here. That's a better answer I bet how do you make the number one disappear? That is how someone like a mom would talk to a child while potty trading And I do want to see a scene

Is this that thing from the dark night where the Joker puts number one on the table and then the mob guy comes up to it and he smacks his little nose into it or whatever. I've had enough of this sick freak. I don't like that word. Wow. I don't like that way. It would be funny if you slammed that guy's head down and he like got back up and the pencil was gone but not in his head. It's fine. It's just fair.

That looks like a good magic. Do you add a zero? Ryan, you are very close. You do add something but it's not a zero? Ryan, you are very close. You do add something, but it's not a zero. How do you make the number one disappear? You double it. You add it. You...

Oh, Aaron, can I talk to you over here? Hi. I love you. You're doing great. I love you too, bye. I love you too, bye. We did a sidebar, so I don't... Don't be that he loves me. That was weird.

We're in Stugs but whole. Luke's stuck in your apartment area. Look away! You are very dull looking. You're staring at us. I mean, she doesn't wear anything. Oh, right. Aaron, I hate to bring it up now,

but you do have a alfalfa type circle around your eye where you're clearly looking through your dog's bow. Oh, no, you're good. There gonna be something in there, don't judge me. Aaron, what the fuck is wrong with you? So for you, try not to say it's that it is right. So you do have to do something. And versus adding a number, I would suggest adding something else. How do you make the number one disappear?

Oh, this is like a restaurant, like a number one. Oh, the number one, you eat it, you eat it. You eat it. Yeah. So if you're not adding a number, you're probably adding a ton of water. A liter? A liter?

Okay. So what can you add to one to make it disappear? This is just one letter. T-a-t. Oh, G, a G, it's gone. Oh, no, hold on, explain T. Nothing. We gotta get rid of tone.

Add a G. Hey, tone, you're gone. Aaron, you're a cracky. Not that leaving. If you add a G, it does create the word gone. Very good. Nice job. Okay, I get that. I told you God Aaron you're correct even if you add a G it does create the word gone Nice Okay, I get that's hard to get a riddle while a guest is here. I try not to humiliate our guests

I don't know how do you make the number one? I think I got to go no no That was a question that was a question And I want to add a G and make it gone. That's how you would make the word one disappear. Yeah, Dan is right. If you had a G then you've got G1. Mm-hmm. Guys, I can't stress enough. I didn't make these and I'm so sorry.

No, you can't stress that enough. I'm not. I think if you had stress enough we would be here. I honestly forgot about the riddle part of this podcast and it sucks. So, welcome. You don't make the riddles. You don't. You don sucks. So, welcome. You don't make the riddles, you don't.

You add in anything? Fine, Dan, tell us about working for Chris Strauss. Or Trisha Stratus or whatever it was. I'll tell you about that. Working for Trisha Strauss was a possibility. We had to get rid of the dick on the top. How are her puppies? Trisha Stratus suplexed me into a balloon.

And all I got was this t-shirt. And you added N. No, none. None, that also works. Let's do another riddle here. This one, this is, no. This is maybe a little better. Okay.

What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is at all times? What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is at all times. What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is at all times? Oh, does she have that fine my phone app? Are they sharing location data? Yeah, we just do that. We just do that now because it's easier. You share the location that he always knows. From a 90s stand-up set, it feels like it is. What do you call a woman who knows where husband is at all times? A Siamese wife. Oh, I know. What is it? A widow. Run, you got it. Holy cow. That's so sad. A widow. A widow. That's where my brain brain went very quick. Dead guy. But also hold on

just just just been just so I know and I'm just just so I know if one of them dies though that you don't marry it anymore right? You know still marriage. One of them dies there right? All these loopholes. I do want to see a scene because the doctor told me it was illegal to be married to a corpse. Well that's what you can't get to a corpse. Uh, he feels a very good doctor. I do want to see a scene before break here. Aaron and Ryan, uh, you are two widows out on a double date. Um, your date, you do have dates with you played by Dan and, uh, by Dan and JPC, but they

are basically just gas escaping. Um, and so you're just trying to have a nice dinner as widows. I'm sorry, at Trish Ryses rib check. Yours. Oh, good. You brought Mark. Yeah. Yeah. And yours seems nice. Yes. What is his that Samuel? Yes. He's going to wave at you. Now. Almost almost. Well, I say we have a couple glasses of wine and grab their credit cards and have a wonderful evening. I'll take two stakes to go.

She couldn't possibly be. What you just heard is Tristress's entrance music. Let's go around, we'll name 90s WWE wrestlers until we run out. Okay. Stay safe.

I'm out. Did you, Dan and Ryan, did you watch any amount of wrestling? That was my error, yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah, mine too. Yes. A young kid before W when it was WWF. Yes. Were you raw or nitro? Cause I, I, for a while, I was WCW all the way.

I was WCW, which I, you know, I don't remember enough to remember. Fos, raw or nitro to be totally honest. One was Monday and one was Thursday, right? Monday night raw. Monday, raw. A camera. Thursday, Thursday was smack down at a certain point. So that's what WF. Yeah. That's what I got. But Nitro was a or WCW was what's that guy's name? Ed something. No, Eric Bischoff. Eric Bischoff. And then there's like NW. Oh, and they brought it like Hogan.

It's got Holland Kevin Nash and Goldberg. I, WCW. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm sure they all had their toes and their spoons in many pots. I wonder because that's kind of in my deep and my subconscious, I spend a lot of time watching it. And I do wonder how it affects who I am now because I don't watch it anymore. But it was there in a formative period of my life.

Totally. When I was six, I was like, these guys are awesome and real, you know. I remember going and seeing Papa Shango, who's like a shaman type character, and it's crazy. And he comes out and like, it's, yeah, it's why. Definitely Google Papa Shango.

It is funny to see, there's such a joy in the disparity between like, I can't think of a better example like someone like John Cena or like Randy Orton where it's like they're a wrestler and then there's also these people where it's like Valvenus he's like a porn star vampire who comes out so that that gap between like I'm gonna try really hard to make this character stick and then someone who's just like I'm just strong strong. Yeah, I came back into wrestling and it was like that where, like,

because yeah, for us, it was all characters, it was sting, it was ultimate warrior. And then all of a sudden, it was just like, coming out is Mark. And it was Mark. Give them for Pete Tom. I think that that would be my persona is just being strong.

I think, I mean, you've been good job, Aaron. Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I think I mean, goal. Good job, Aaron. Oh, absolutely. Goldberg was his finishing move was like a football tackle. Right. It was so aggressive. Yeah.

But I just always love that people would be like, I am like, I'm Cain. I you'll never see my face. I'm the brother of the undertaker. I'm full of death and I can make fire up here. And I go through the ring and live in hell. And then yeah, somebody comes out and they're just just Joe Schmo. I think my favorite wrestling combination is when it's it's very Obviously that you got a guy who or whoever who just is it like doesn't know how to work the crowd

And so then they just give them like another like little or guy to be like now you're the height man of this guy And like this guy's little thing is he silent He's a killer This guy just likes to fight and get his body ruined, but he needs somebody to be like He doesn't like to do all the parts where he's like dancing like a little ape and he's like everybody Let's hear it for the killer and this guy's and bird that have that symbiotic Alligators and birds that have that symbiotic growth. Yeah. I'm not gonna eat you, you need to clean with me. Aaron, if you, if you could be any sort of wrestler,

have any gimmick, would you be like little compliments? Like what would be your thing? A little compliments. Am I, I'm sorry. Okay, hold on, I needed to ask a question about little compliments. Do I need them or do I give them? It starts off one way and then it goes the other way.

If you don't get a comment, you suplex somebody. I would do something about being sleepy or tired of having an anxiety. You're sleepwalking! You're finishing move would be falling asleep on someone with your full later, something? Yeah. Last time I went to a wrestling show, I kept involuntarily yelling, be careful. Then she also just screamed like I hope everyone just has fun or something. Yeah, I, I, I am not fun to go to public things with.

I'm not my favorite company. You showed up to that one and they're like, here to wrestle and you were like, yes. You showed up to that one and they're like, here to wrestle and you're like, yes. Yes, please. For two, please, yes, please. Okay, a standard match. Yeah. Retsling.

My wrestling persona would be the little hammer. And I would have like an eight inch, eight to ten inch hammer that I just try to sneak into every match I can. Every match they like pat you down. They go, do you have it? Do you have it? Do you promise?

He's not a good wrestler, but if he gets a good one with the hammer in there, it's over. Okay, I do want to see you see. I've decided a little sheet that says that I don't have the hammer. I love that at home. I do want to see you seeing Ryan, you're almost like what's the same?

Jim Ross, is that his name? Yeah. Jim Ross. He's a mean gene. So you're basically like one of those announcers. And you're introducing two new wrestlers who are about to face off, which will be Dan and JPC. Dan and JPC, in turn, you will introduce your sort of character and gimmick to Ryan.

Gotcha. Great. All right folks, here they come. It's the next two wrestlers. They are insane. They hate each other and they are both Steaming to get out here. Let's bring out the first guy normal Greg

Where are the shirts and jeans got normal sneakers on? I'm normal great. Oh my god. He's walking at normal pace No rush, but can't be too slow. I'm normal Greg, my girlfriend's name is Sarah. My mom's name is Patti. Normal Greg gets into the ring. He stands on the second turn buckle. Notice that, like, one of his shirts, he like missed a button,

did that thing where he skipped a button, so he has to like, unbutton two buttons, and then like, rebutton up his shirt. He's clearly off, it's driving him nuts. He's gotta fix his shirt before the match. Oh, and here he comes. He's clearly off, it's driving him nuts. He's got a fix his shirt before the match. Oh, and here he comes. Here's the next guy, the foot long sub. Five dollar, five dollar, five dollar,

my love, you're living in the room. Oh, he's slithuttering down the ramp. I'd rather be at Subway. The freshest restaurant you could get. You don't think I'd rather be at Subway as well? It's my lunch break. Yeah. And I'm gonna break every bone in your body foot long

Okay, please don't Folks we gotta see is this guy gonna eat the sandwich or is this sandwich gonna eat this guy You think you're gonna try to get my eyes on shirt all dirty with your meatball sauce Watch it. Oh, still to regular sound like you only said the first half of that sentence there. By the time I'm done with you, it's not gonna matter if you're toasted a regular, because you're gonna be half on my shirt, half on my bed. These guys both remind me of my life. Sounds like this guy might want to fuck the sandwich

Hold up. No, I just no I'm gonna put them on your bed nobody eats in bed. You're not that's not normal. I Think a lot who here eats in there bad Who is that I'm a smuggle arm. I'm the smuggle arm. We're in the lights up. No, no We got to get out of here. We got to get out of here. There's a smoke alarm. We have to be incredibly safe I'm gonna take my suit off. Everybody You misunderstood. It's me and the raptors. Mr. Smokalarm The raptors the smoke alarms go with that for the rafters! The smoke alarms going down from the rafters! My batteries fell out.

Okay, I'm humiliated because I broke character. I didn't know that this was gonna be... I'm done! I'm done! I'm done! Yeah! I know! I know!

I see. I humiliated. Does anybody know? Okay. The term when you, when you quote unquote break is like breaking K-fabe? In restaurants. Yeah.

Why I heard that. What is K-fabe? Is that like, Canonical, Cronicle or Sprable or something? Cronicle or Sprable or something? K-fabulous. Is K-fabe,

does that stand for like canonical fabulous or something? But canonical starts with a C. I know. I know what the sound of someone avoiding riddles when I hear it. No, no, no, no. All right, we'll do another riddle here. The hospital had a firm rule that all televisions must be turned off by 10 pm each and every evening. On Saturday evening, March 27, 2025, so this is a feature riddle.

17 patients were sitting and watching television at 11.15 pm. How is this possible? I'll read this one more time. Okay. The hospital had a firm rule that all televisions must be turned off by 10 pm each and every evening. On Saturday evening, March 27, 2025, 17 patients were sitting and watching television at 11.15 pm. How is this possible? Is this like a time something? Is it like daylight savings time?

Good guess, but that is incorrect. Is this leap year? The date matters, right? So it's like, I see the leap year or a time zone or something. I will tell you. Adam is moving leap year. Yes, what movie? Amy Adams, Peter Romcom, come to me here. They made an exception because the Amy Adams movie was on. Yeah. Yeah. Though I almost said Warden, what do you call a hospital? Unfortunately, it is also a warden.

Oh, no. They pulled double duty of that regard. I will say outright that the date does not matter. Does the 17 people watching it matter? So hospitals like no TV after 10 p.m. hard and fast rule very strict but on that date 17 patients were sitting in watching television at 11.15 which is an hour and 50 minutes after the designated turnoff time. Yeah. How is this possible? If the date doesn't matter, why did I get into a big fight about ruining it? Did whoever disciplines them, die or something? That is a good guess, but that is not, unfortunately, not the answer here.

Did whoever's in charge just decide not to be such a fucking stickler and let them finish whatever the fuck they're watching? It's 15 minutes who cares. Wait, did you say the word was stifler? I did that is incorrect I did say the word of the stifler you xdva fucker your mom Yeah So it's not oh is this is this a Hospital on an airplane and they crossed over some sort of time zone at the airplane hospital?

No, time zones, unfortunately, do that come into play. And I'm also in the... Airplane hospital is for sure gonna be a TV show by the end of the season. Is there a doctor on a plane? No, well then you gotta go to the airplane hospital. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Is there a doctor on the plane? Always. Airplane hospital. Mm-hmm. I don't have to do this. That seems like a well-forte TV show. No, I want it earnest. I want't think it's a show. That seems like a little forte to you, Chef. No I want it earnest. I want it greased anatomy style.

I don't want it there. He's dead I would love it. Ernest goes to. Can we get another god damn doctor on the plane? Hi drama, hi drama. I will say that this answer is pretty unique in terms of the answers we've had on this podcast This was a surprising answer to me and you said you it was on a specific day in a specific year and that does not matter It does not matter so hospital says TV must be turned off by 10 p.m. Every day on Saturday evening on that state on that date

17 patients at the hospital at that same hospital We're sitting and watching television at 11.15 pm. How is it possible? And I will say this answer is going to blow your brains wide open, but it's also pretty obvious. What was the television just not on television? So this wasn't a one floor of the cookies nest situation. They're all just sitting there watching an empty television that was like unplugged. The doctor, the nurse turned off the baseball game and then Jack Nicholson just sort of

read it. Yeah. Just are we have a play going is there an amount of people watching relevant to the answer? 17 no Okay, so why is any of the other only details just a throw us all is it because it's not it was no longer a hospital? Uh, that's a good guess. Wow, that's a really good guess. That is incorrect. That's a really good guess. Were they in the lobby instead of their rooms? I gotta say, all these answers you're tossing out

are technically correct and better than the real answer. Okay. The doctors are watching. That's even better. But that's not a good answer. Is it, oh, they're watching a surgery or something? The security is watching all the TVs in the security place. That's a really good answer. Truly, we have oversolved this question, but that is not what's right in here.

The hospital is on lockdown because a wild, some sort of links or big cat has got into the hospital and they're stuck in the TV room watching it. Well, we can't say that in a hospital because that's what you say for defibrillators. Right. Ah, so I'm just gonna say this, I can be wrong, I'm gonna say bang bang shrimp cheesecake. That is closer. I'm like, clop closer.

So think, I mean, this answer is gonna infuriate most of you or if not all of you. Think of like, Occam's razor. As simple as the answer answers usually the right answer Right, they broke the rules Bingo bingo hot the time ding ding ding ding ding the patience broke the rules. I we've never had a riddle I don't think to my reflection where the answer is just like they just fucking did it Yeah, I don't think that's a riddle. No, it's not for sure not

Yeah, it's just a I think it's like an equation that doesn't equal itself. Yeah. I mean, it's almost like the, there's some joke or story or parable or something where it's like a woman is, or a man is on top of Mount Everest and he has the full gear. He has an oxygen tank. His skin is blue. His fingers are black because they're about to fall off. He climbed for two months, he finally made it to the summit. And as he's up there, there's a man and a woman with no gear, they're wearing shorts and flip flops. No oxygen, they look totally healthy and they're having a picnic. How is it possible? And the answer is just they didn't know they couldn't not do that.

It's like the biggest fucking history of like, like oh because they're ignorant to how difficult it is They just did it that makes no sense. Yeah. Oh, I see it's like I Hate that's like a Tony Robbins type thing where it's yeah, yeah, but really what what what what am I learning here that you can climb Mount Everest if you dumb and Dan says that at the seminar and he's sitting next to a guy who's like writing everything down He's like this is gonna change my life Thank you, Donnie. I do want to see you. Oh go ahead. Oh, sorry Well, I was gonna say Dan one time went to a Tony Robbins seminar and they actually started listening to Dan instead because his voice is more booming and cooler

That's taller and his voice is deeper and he's being even rooter to me This guy's got a cold plunge pool. I'm all in Ado can I see a scene? Yeah, Aaron. Oh, thank you. I'd like to see scene Adel, Ryan, and Dan are all climbing Mount Everest. And you're all kind of like wishing that you weren't there, but no one wants to be the first one to say like, can we turn back? Quick break, quick break. Of course. Oh, God. God, the view here is incredible, isn't it? Yeah, the air is really thin up here, but the view is, yeah, yeah.

I just immediately feel like, man, I get it. Yeah. You know, I got it, I get it. Yeah, I feel like the view from here and the view from the summit have to be pretty identical I'm a pie, you know, yeah, did we get a picture from here? Should we get a little photo for? Let's take a selfie. Let's take a selfie Let me just put my I'll put my finger up to my temples and blink my eyes and that's a fun little Unlittle uncle move that suggested that I took a mental picture

and that should suffice. I'm just gonna take a selfie here and woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo all help him down. No, no, I can keep going unless you guys want to go back Uh, I don't I don't want to go I oh I dropped my phone Let me let me get out of the case and I dropped my phone Oh shoot

I'm seeing it go all the way down the hill. Maybe we could save it the hill You have so much confidence in tackling this we should keep going then if you if this is a hill, you have so much confidence in tackling this, we should keep going then. If you, if this is a hill to you, we should keep going, Phil. Shoot, you're right. Shoot. Here's what I think. Here's what I think. We've all come here to overcome some sort of thing, life trauma, whatever. And let's go through each person's thing. Okay. Mine is that unwittingly, I matched with my cousin on bumble and we did kiss

It was the date unwitting huh was the date unwitting or just a match The match I didn't she looked different But then when you want to date you realize it was a cousin, but you just you still kiss yeah Well, we find out we were cousins and then just to kind of close out the night I was like we should still kiss so we have to be polite cousins and then just to kind of close out the night I was like, we should still kiss. So we have to be polite. You have to have to be polite. Yeah.

I want to be done with climbing. Sorry, with climbing slowly, let's go fast. Yeah, okay. I feel like I have kind of overcome my demons here. I feel like maybe I'll set up here And if you guys need a base camp it might be nice for me to have it set up here Which is almost scarier because I'll be alone right here. You know what I mean? It's all scary. That is scary. Oh, yeah, instead of being alone Philip. We should stay with him We should all we should all be yes. Yes. Also my thing is heights and so I feel like I we are pretty high

Oh, my thing's heights too. I'm good. I also have heights. I'm good. What if, what about this? Just go back and we Photoshop us at the time. I mean, I would not be mad at that, because I just realized I'm wearing ankle socks of all the times

to pack ankle socks. Oh my god. And you wearing high boots Yeah, so I'm not feeling great. I would be I'd be up for Photoshop. I think that's fun Okay, yeah, that's great. And you know what I just realized I Left my wife and family and didn't tell them we would be doing this. We got to go back Well, we got to go back for Cory's family which might be my subconscious trauma I thought my trauma was my car died,

but I think there's a thing with my family I'm not dealing with. Well, did you get over the car thing? Yeah, did you get over the, you wanna talk about it? What kind of car? Who's, who's, who's, who's the Toyota Tacoma? Oh, that way. Hey, mommy, hey, mommy, that man is back.

The man from the picture is back, mommy. Um, locked the door. Mommy, he looks like he's cold outside. No, it just locked the door. But he's from the picture, mommy, the picture on the fridge. Cory, I wish you would have told us that your family lives on the top of Mount Everest. Yeah, dude, think about what I said to you. What? You really fucked our planet's photoshoff.

I feel like you're not allowed to say your wife is crazy, but I went along with a pretty crazy idea here. I'm saying. I feel like you're not allowed to. I feel like you're not allowed to. I feel like we're located to the top about Everest, but I don't want to get canceled. I'm like, yes.

Have you guys ever overcome anything? Cause I have like no interest. You know where someone's like, you know what, I gotta go cross country by myself and just be alone, or I gotta climb a mountain, or I gotta do a marathon. I've never done any of those things. Have you ever any of you all?

Or like a trampoline? Not like something to overcome something, like not like a trip to like, oh, I have to like go here to clear my mind, but I used to do, I've been sober now for almost nine years, but I used to do a lot of psychedelics, and it was like every two months, like clockwork, I would be like, I gotta do mushrooms

and just figure out where I'm at. Like just like get a better sense of where I'm at and where I'm going. And I gotta say, that really did help me when I was like younger. Like that was very, it was a very like clear experience for me. That's awesome.

Ryan and I were just on a separate podcast talking about that, and I were just on a separate podcast talking about that and because I just watched Fantastic From Guy, that Netflix movie about my life. Oh, I don't know that one. Oh, it's, I mean, I don't want you to relapse so maybe you don't want it. Yeah.

It's all about how you should do that. There's a new one called like, maybe that's what I'm thinking of. I thought it was a longer title of like, opening up your mind or something. It's like a brand new one about how psychedelics actually help you. How to change your mind? How to change your mind, that's it, thank you.

Is that the same thing? Or that's two different now? That's based on like a Michael Paulin book, I think. Oh, yeah, it's a big issue. By the way, I am a big fan of psychedelics and a big proponent of doing psychedelics. I don't need to do that anymore, but I do not regret for a second my experience doing psychedelics. I don't need to do that anymore, but I don't do not regret for a second my experience with psychedelics.

I've had mushrooms seven or eight times and the first six or seven times were unblue would be wonderful. And then that last time I thought I was dying and I was real bad. I. In a bathtub, almost calling my mom every five minutes to tell her goodbye. It was real bad. It was all fun and games until you're looking at yourself in the mirror. Don't do that. That's my number one hot tip is you don't do that

because it's not built into your mom's face and then your dad's face. I love that. And then you see your blood. Yeah, I lost it. You saw your blood? Yeah, yeah. When you go, I was like, oh my God,

there's just so much blood in my body. And then I was like, I am the most beautiful woman in the world. And then I blanked and I was like, I am a monster. Mm-hmm. So don't do that. I did mushrooms with a guy one time and we had just done them.

We had just ingested the mushrooms. And I was like, this is gonna be fun, man. I'm looking forward to this. And he's like, yeah, gonna be fun, man, I'm looking forward to this and he's like, yeah, I really need this, because I'm going through a terrible breakup right now. And I was like, man, you have made the biggest mistake of your fucking life. I was like, you are going to have one of the worst times.

And I knew, as soon as he said he was in a really bad place, I was like, this is a really bad idea. Yeah, I'm the biggest mistake of my life now, because I'm fucking stuck with you, dude. I'm ruining my with you, dude. Rooting my high. How about you guys? Are you like I have to run a marathon to prove something to myself? Kind of people? I don't think so. It would be nice to overcome something at some point, but yeah. I think I've like probably read too many self-help books thinking that I was like doing a good job at therapy. And so maybe like that as a mountain I've tried to climb or something and I've since kind of

slowed down or stopped on that. But yeah. Dan, when you say it'd be nice to overcome something, what do you, what do you, is there like, what's an example of what that would be? Like give yourself malaria and then... Yeah, like I was and then yeah, like Yeah, you know any of the which don't do that because it's forever To late. Oh, no. Yeah, like something like I would never I love Like traveling I love it going to Europe or whatever. Yeah, I would never do that alone a friend our friend gilly just did that and she like

Um, posted a bunch of videos of her like going on hikes with strangers, you know, and she went on like a guided tour with a bunch of people that was like a few days long. And I would never do that, but I think it would be like anything that's kind of uncomfortable, a nice learning experience as well, but I really prefer comfort. Sure. Oh, I think you go to Italy alone and just meet Italians, you'd have a frickin blast. Yeah, but I spend so much that time, I bet texting my friends.

Like when I go on like a little retreat, I spend my whole time on my phone like hitting people up. Oh, right. Right. I can't even be that way when I was like 2021. I was very much like prove, I wanted to prove stuff to myself

like I did a lot of solo traveling. I did a lot of like skydiving and bungee jumping and like stuff that I'm scared of but it didn't work really. You're like it's like sort of nicely you're like oh yeah I'm brave but then I just don't think it proves as much to yourself as like being consistent over time. But then I just don't think it proves as much to yourself as like being consistent over time. Right, right. Well said. Do you like doing one crazy thing just not make a new personality? Yeah, no, it just proves that I'm crazy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just spent $1,800 to realize. I do really enjoy something I would recommend. I'm sure you guys have done this. I feel like just small road trips by yourself is very fun. Like if you go somewhere that's like two and a half hours away to some small town or something, just windows down, Blair music or podcast or something.

I feel like that always helps me scratch that itch, but I do prefer to have a companion while traveling, even if it's just one other person to have a shared experience of like, oh, I can anytime call them up and talk about it or be like, remember this or share photos or something. Because when you share, if you go solo and then share with other people,

they don't have that investment in it. They'll be like, oh, neat or like, very cool, but they don't have the, you want that feeling of like, we did this together. I have a bond with someone. This is a strengthened moment. So that's a shared memory, isn't it? Yes, absolutely.

Atle, when you said, I'm sure you guys have done this, what I thought you were going to say was, go to like crispy cream or someplace that makes the donuts really hot and fresh, get a half dozen donuts glazed. As soon as they're hot and fresh, push them all down to the one big donut ball and eat that whole thing.

And I was like, if I might, I was like, I was like, that would be so cool to do. I was like, love to do that. You thought that was exactly what he was gonna say? You're like, if I might not be like, I was like, that would be so cool to do. I was like, I love to do that. You thought that was exactly what he was gonna say? You're like, I thought he was gonna say something. When he said,

I'm sure you guys have all done this. I thought he was gonna say something equally as crazy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We've all probably done this. Get yourself a belt, go into your closet. Do you guys familiar with David Kerrady? Oh yeah.

I'm familiar with almost like, I would say 95% of his story. I do not know how the last part of it ends. But yeah, I'm a huge Caridine fan. Well, let's do, do we have time for one more? Let's do voice-mails, actually. Let's go into our voice-mails. Wait for the beep, hey riddle, riddle.

I wanna get the calls on the voice-mails. You'll let out the play. And out the play. Casey, do you have a voice mail pull-up for us, please? Hi, I'm Aaron, I'm JP Singh. I'm just gonna say hi. I love the show on the page, and I'm looking off to graduate high school and swimming at team,

and I try to work in the podcast, playing scents like that, but it gets harder and harder to explain the premise that we just asked for. My go to right now is it's like playing no exit, but hell is riddles instead of other people. It breaks a lot on Thanksgiving because I wasn't doing that so after I'd eaten an edible and I started crying because I thought I was fighting. And then back here, I'm with George Schoen too. It comes to high-frivolation. Love y'all. Thanks. Thank you a y'all. Peace. Thank you, a character from Barcy Blues.

That was incredible. What a phenomenal message. I love that person's voice was so charming. They said that they took an edible at Thanksgiving and were listening to our podcast and started crying because they thought we were fighting. No, you missed her, J.P. Oh. He said he took an edible

Fuck it. I just forget it Do you even know how to listen out? I am active. What did I miss here? You're actively listening? Irresistible. I don't feel like a piece of shit because that's all I see A bunch of number twos. Yeah, that's the cutest saddest thing ever It's like my podcast host are fighting. I actually I can't No, this I One more episode where we were fighting Maybe do you guys ever fight real you guys seem like you're good at play fighting which makes me think you don't actually fight

We're pretty no, we're very good at passive aggressiveness. We were mad at Adal once. It was a Halloween episode in 2018. We got actually mad at him and we kept it in the episode. So I decided to end the Halloween episode. And it's become a tradition that I'm sure everyone hates. But I read it in riddle at the very end and I said, I'll give you the answer next year on Halloween. And I think you both stop the show

and you're like, we really, we gotta give the answer. And I was like, no, it'll be a fun little tradition. Because it was like a, it was like a laffy taffy joke. It was like, what's a Dracula's favorite drink? Bloody Mary. You know, it was like that, that level of awful. So I was like, it's just a kid's joke. You are rewriting history, sir.

This is what happens when we met like, let men tell stories, because that is not what happened. What has been, so what happened was JPC interrupted you, and then you said, well, then I'm just not gonna read the riddles next year. And then I went, I didn't interrupt you, though, I didn't do it. And then you went, everyone's getting punished.

And so I didn't do anything. You should have made JPC leave. I'm still mad about that. That was four years ago. I didn't. I apologize. I didn't think that was also back when we were like, oh, people really care that we

say they've riddled answers to the riddles. And I think on an episode like three months ago, we just forgot to say the answer to a riddle. We did like a scene and we've got to say an answer. And a bunch of people were like, Hey, you guys didn't answer that riddle. We're like, I don't know. I fucking it doesn't matter. Like who cares? Casey, can we hear one more voicemail? Hey, riddle, riddle. Looking for some advice. Don't know if this phone's going to be an advice call but I figured what the hell. I'm a fellow who just got laid off from a corporate job. I didn't love so much and I'm trying to make the next step a little bit more

worth having. I wonder if y'all got any kind of Rital based advice or not. All right, love the show. Have a good one. What all our listeners have the best like TV show accents. Like, let's go say that. Yeah, yeah, definitely two different things. Yeah, it's like every voice man was like, Hey, yo, I'm just like Rack of Barrel. Love playing a game. I do think that if you're looking for your next move, like, I don't know, maybe like a a cartoon dog like just like voicing voice carcass you dog you never have a big sandwich yeah look at just Google voice acting I'm working at the cheesecake factory it sounds like it's really easy and if you're not ready for that what I would say is go travel by yourself take two weeks and just travel by yourself

yeah you can always leave us a voice mail at 1-805-Riddle-1-M-Pire today. So you can leave us a voice mail. You can also send us any sort of packages or letters or whatever you want to send us in the mail. You can send out to hey Riddler Riddler at 6351-West Montrose Avenue, number 267, that's Chicago, Illinois, 60634.

So thank you all for the for them how cool

Now do you guys have like a registry? Would love that. Yes. And we have a honey fund. Yeah. Still waiting for that gift of a thousand dollars cash. So I'm just saying they were saying it before the episode started. I just want to plug for them. Yeah.

Our registry is cratonbarrel.com slash Hey, Rittle Rital, if you want to buy us a big brass stove. If you could buy us a smeg refrigerator, we're all gonna split it. We're all gonna take a different part of the smeg break. I was thinking of buying the podcast a nice, nice ironing board. I mean, it's a little passive aggressive because you're telling us that we're all our clothes are all wrinkly. Snobbs!

Yeah, okay. Next week, next week, treat our mailbox as if we are all getting married to each other. That's the level of thought that she'd go into it. Well, I think we've come to a close. Dan and Ryan, thank you so much for being on. You're absolutely two of our favorite people on Earth. Let alone guests on this podcast. So thank you for doing this. Ryan, do you have anything to plug?

Just the Mandog pod that I do here with Dan, you know, you can find me personally online all over the place at Chosenberg. And then I guess Big Grande, Big Grande website, we got some new stuff coming out there, hopefully soonish. So check out all the stuff. I got to say my, maybe my favorite podcast is specifically when you guys do the big check-in episodes. Okay. Those are my favorites. Oh, thank you. It's always nice to know. And I love how you play the theme for the big show when you do your big check-ins as well.

Yes. The big check-in. Yes. gonna do it At the end anything you'd like to plug well if you're off if you subscribe to the WWE Network You can check out camp wwe where I voice the big show as a young counselor or a young A-wink camp of young wrestlers That I don't know if it exists, but if it's still out there, that's where you can get it. And everything Ryan said, and then Dan Lippert Cool is my social

media. And I guess, yeah. Anacole news. Yeah, it's a big fan of Moriarty. His review for Morbius was dead on. Oh my God. Moriart, man, I used to read it in a cool all the time. Every day of my life, I used to read it, and then I just got tired of it. I thought it was so important for a while. Yeah, it had to know it. It felt like a little secret of like these people really get it, and then I was like, this is exhausting. Ryan, do you have anything to book?

Well, I was just going to add that live on set is sort of our newest big grande project that was a really fun improvised special that Dan put together and we all improvised in where we do improv and the suggestion is just the costumes and the set that we're on and none of us knew any of the details before and we do like a live improv show and there's a lot of fun. So check that out on our website. I don't know if this helps but my dad loved it. I sent it to him knowing he would love it and he thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. It definitely helps me. That feels great. Aaron, anything you want to plug? Just listen to Mandog pod. It's been especially funnily lately. I was on my walk listening to the

recent Lauren Lapka episode and I had to stop walking to laugh. So check it out. Oh thank you. Do you have anything to plug? to the recent Lauren Lapka episode and I had to stop walking to laugh. So check it out. Oh, thank you. Do you have anything to plug? It's actually a pretty serious condition. Aaron can't laugh and walk or she will explode. Yeah, I'll explode. Let's not make light of it every month.

It's a confetti, so it's at least a little whimsical, but it's a problem. Yeah, so again, I'll see my plug star to read. A five star review, if you want to get your five star if you featured on the show just to leave it. And then you could get it picked. This one is from I'm trapped in this review, says JPC Please Help Me. I thought it would answer the call for a fun and funny five star review for JPC to read at the end of the show, but suddenly my screens started flashing and I found myself trapped inside this review.

There seems to be nothing to help me keep track of the passing days, no sun to warm my frigid heart. I've worked tirelessly to edge this very message to the stark plane of existence in which I am bound. The only thing keeping me alive is the hope that these scribblings of a madman mode one day reach the podcast and release me into the void of five stars incredible podcast. Thank you so much for leaving it.

Great. Addle anything that you want to do. Yes, thank you so much. I have a few things. I, the other night I watched, I must have been in the perfect mood for it. I watched last night in Soho, the movie, the Edgar Wright movie, and for whatever reason, it hit me so hard and I was swooning over this movie. I thought it was just fantastic. I might rewatch

it and feel I was way off, but I really enjoyed it in the moments I recommend that. Also, I had some friends over the other night and we played lovers in a dangerous space time. Lovies in a dangerous space time. It's a, it's on Switch, but I don't know what else is on. It's some of the most fun I've ever had playing a game. It's kind of like that old iPhone game space team where you kind of have to work in Unison to kind of defeat what's coming at you. It's just fantastic.

I highly recommend that. And then the last thing I'll say and then I'll shut up is I really like Ryan's idea of making the most out of this, give me something, make it real close, forget about it. So use hashtag, forget about it, and send us your best Santana riffs. It could be give me your butt, make it wet or else forget about it, it could be. Ew, what?

Have it not be that. Aaron, do you have that? Yeah, we've already used that one. We've already used that one, so we don't want to get that one a bunch of times, basically. But use hashtag, forget about it. And we'd love to read some of these Carlos Santana riffs you have. And of course, if you'd like to riff in a more stereotypically East Coast Italian, it

would be forget about it. Give me your card, make a grueler, else forget about it. Let me search in both hashtags, and use the one that speaks to you. Give me your else forget about it. Let me search both hashtags To you We're not doing that anymore. Can the episode title can the episode title be give me some God make a cool Aaron one thing we should not forget about is a little marble in the night sky called Jupiter. By forever. Casey, tell me to be editing. Now, I already parented the music. The music. The music.

The vocal created by Emily Cardamus and Emily Nemoris. The music. The music. The music. The music. The music. The music. The music.
