We have here our two finalists, Aaron Keefe, and Boston Massachusetts, and Adler Refi.
From just, I mean, too long to go into it.
It's like Las Vegas and Galena and like, it doesn't matter.
By way of Columbus?
Ooh, talking without blinking, interesting, interesting. These two competitors have been locked in un-blinking eye contact for over two and a half days.
This is by far the longest the national sp- the- the spelling bee- by the job. They're laughing, no blinking, they're laughing, but no blinking, interesting. And I've been funny for two days,
just as everyone's clear,
the longest two of these competitors have ever gone.
We check in now.
Sorry, can we talk now or?
Okay.
You've always been able to talk.
Well, when I talked earlier, you said,
wow, talking and not blinking.
Oh no, I'm going to sneeze.
You've always been able to talk.
Oh no, you can't sneeze with your eyes open.
Famously.
Okay, what do I do?
What do I do?
Well, famously, you are nose to nose right now.
So if she sneezes, you're probably gonna blink.
I don't know if that's famously.
I'm gonna try to swallow.
That's gonna be on a t-shirt.
Yeah.
A swallow sneeze.
The nose is remained touching.
It's a hands on a hard body roll. Nose is remained touching. A swallow sneeze. It noses remain touching, it's a hands on a hard body roll,
noses remain touching, a swallow sneeze, it's no blinks.
Okay.
And actually that is the t-shirt,
because it's like, is it a face,
or is it two people in an unblinking staring contest?
How long is his eyes?
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no.
I'm just trying to do.
Okay, okay, I'll have to do baseball, baseball,
think of baseball, baseball, baseball. He's kidding around, baseball. This is no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, They'll never blink again. Oh, I guess it's not fair. Wait, not your legacy. Your legacy on blinker.
You said
we have the same idea.
Welcome to the
River to a podcast about not blinking. What kind of it is? It is about just
boldly not blinking. We play chicken with each other. Yeah.
Well, that's not all we do here. Sometimes we have special guests and sometimes we have the fourth host of the show.
Janet Varney, welcome back to your show.
Guys, I'm so sorry that Janet could not be here today.
Unfortunately, I was sent in her stead when I was told that there would be steering contest.
I have not closed my eyes in several years. So I think
maybe I should not be going to prison. Oh, God, those, yeah, your eyes have not closed in several
years. I don't even know if you could if you tried at this point. No, actually, I'm a mom now. So my
voice is a little bit higher. And I blink all the time you guys. I'm just like you. I've linked all the time. It's super fun.
Yeah, maybe I'm old tired, but I forgot that Elizabeth Holmes is famously the fourth host of our podcast
Yeah, we had a weird 2021. Well, we got contacted by a firm that was trying to rehab her image prior to her sentencing. And so they were like, people took you way too seriously before.
Now if you're the host of a riddle podcast, yes.
And she is seriously good.
And she and by her, I mean, me was quoted as saying, if I known about this podcast
before I decided to have kids to make people like me, I would.
So.
No, I just need to come on.
Oh, there she is.
Don't make me stick to that, bitch.
You're too good at the voice.
You're too good at the voice.
Oh, weird.
She only ripped off the turtleneck part of her sweater.
That's great.
It is.
It's like a turtleneck collar.
I'm also a priest.
JPC kept Janet a surprise from us.
So we logged on to our Zoncaster
and we were just minding our business
and Janet popped up to surprise us for this episode.
And it was the treatment of the century.
I felt like we had a secret family or something.
Or JPC, the whole week leading up to it,
JPC is like, I have something to reveal to you
and we were like, what is it?
At some point we thought it was Taco Bell.
We got very excited.
And Janet, honestly, I'm gonna go on record and say,
this is better than Taco Bell.
No, don't say things you can't take back.
No, not all of them in you items.
Yeah, hold on.
Yeah.
The dollar is you, Janet, the dollar.
You are better than Taco Bell French fries.
If you could send me a list, this matters to me.
So please send me a list.
Janet, you're no cheesy word either crunch,
but you're pretty good.
The only one I was hoping I was better than,
thanks, J.P.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
I just keep putting my foot in my cheesy
cortida crunch.
Wait, have any of you competed in a spelling B for Reels?
Only the ones that like your school makes you do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Which I guess we had.
I mean, I definitely, I guess I have competed in a spelling bee, but I think it was one
thing that you see on TV.
No, it was, it was not to TV stakes, but I was in one called Spellbowl, which I believe
is probably like a, I think that multiple high schools do or grade schools as well.
I can't, I think I was in grade school,
like maybe seventh or eighth grade, I did spellball.
But it was, it was the thing,
we had like a team selected from our school
with like four spellers on it,
and then you sat in like an auditorium
with a bunch of other schools,
and then there was a proctor next to you,
and they would say, like they would say your word,
and then your proctor would like look over your shoulder
as you spell that out, and then they would like signal to the judge when you got it correct.
Hmm.
Quiet and dull.
Sounds like a lot of people focusing quietly in their own world.
Well, they said I think there was like a rule that you weren't allowed to talk, but you could do until like signal that you got it right, you could do whatever you wanted. And I think I got like six out of 10 right,
I did not do, I did not get it perfect
by any start to the imagination,
but I would stand up from my chair
in an auditorium of like spaced out people,
so there was no one around me
and try to start a wave every time I got one right.
And I thought that was pretty funny,
because there was no one else around me.
I think you're also an audience of spaced out people
in the other sense,
because I'm sure it was a lot of nerds.
I do think for whatever reason,
when our school maybe we like hosted it,
but I remember like my whole class was there.
Like it was like an all school assembly
watching this little bad sir.
Yeah, it was very strange.
Was there a cheerleading squad?
You know, I don't think they were like,
come on, let's not rub it in.
I was like, this guy's a moped.
Give him a, I wanna say.
Don't tell them.
Don't tell them.
They're cheating for you.
What's that smell?
All the cheerleaders were actually inspellable.
So they all had it.
Oh, spellball.
Super not catchy, even though you know them. We got it. We had it. Oh, spellball. Super not catchy, even though you know,
we got it.
It's going to be called spellball.
When my school did it, we were, I think,
was seventh grader to did it, and I got out on the word awkward.
And I was like, this is meta.
This has some layers to it.
I said, oh, CC.
And then I remembered how to spell it.
And then I went, and then I just went like this to the teacher. I shook my head and then I went how to spell it and then I went and then I just went like that's to the teacher
I shook my head and then I went and back and sat down on my seat. I was like OCC. Oh
Shaking your head at yourself and
Sweetest thing I've ever heard I was like I got yeah, and then I think I ended up going home sick that day. I'm doing your clothes
Hell yeah.
A national hazard, a, a, well, UK, you,
patient, all.
It's going up there.
I went out in high school on the word archipelago.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
That's that feels like there's a E in there.
I E P A L I G O G G O. Thank you through in an extra E. Well, JPC in the middle said, I think there's an E in there. I-E-P-A-L-I-G-O-G-G-O.
Thank you through in an extra E.
Well, JPC in the middle said,
I think there's an E in there.
On advice of Cal's.
Fuck's me, man.
You fucked me, man.
You'll have to talk to my proctor about this.
That's a proctor.
I could not, I couldn't remember a single word
that I had to spell in that, in that spellable,
but I do remember that I definitely didn't get all of them because I remember I really
wanted to do that wave bit more than I was able to do it, but I didn't get all the words
so I couldn't do that wave bit.
That's not my memory works.
You were there to the attention.
You were there to get your laughs.
Did you not hear him say standing on a table? Yeah. Janet, were you ever a good speller?
I think I've always been a good speller.
But like I said, I don't think it's not something I've pursued, avidly.
Like I didn't compete in any kind of like real,
really beurinated.
Is cortisone.
Cortisone, C-O-R-T-I-S-O-N-E, cortisone.
We're going to have to assume that's right.
Yeah, there's absolutely no way we can verify.
None of us know.
No, the only thing I remember is that it was a big deal
that in first grade, my friend Derek Ettenger and I
both spelled helicopter correctly.
Ooh.
Wow.
I have to say, and Janet, this is no,
I'm throwing no shade your way.
Anytime anyone in my life references someone
from like high school or prior,
and they say their first and last name,
it always sounds like they're making up a name.
So when you said Derek Ettinger,
it always just sounds like a fake name, always.
Well, especially people's first kiss names.
Every time someone says who their first kiss was,
I'm like, that's a made up name.
That's a made up name. So I'm gonna, I'll go first.
Yeah.
Tracy Janie.
Super made up. It's true. Super made up.
I'll go next. Okay. Derek Eddinger.
Helicopter.
I can actually verify that's true. I was there because he is real as hell.
I'm gonna look at what some of the winning words of the last few years of spelling bee champions were.
Is that how that works?
Yeah, I guess so.
There has to be a last word, right?
Yeah.
What's that?
Yeah.
There's some documentary spellbound.
Oh, I love that.
Now that I saw, it is fantastic.
Charming.
It is way more interesting and fascinating than you think,
and the kids are just a tremendous,
definitely recommend spellbound.
There's also another documentary,
I think it's called Bad Words with Jason Bateman.
It's from 2005.
14.
There's a good 15 year stretch of Jason Bateman movies
that would shock you to your core.
You're like, huh?
He did that?
Like I works.
Jesus.
I think it was after he did a rest of development.
I think everyone was like, he funny, and they
cast him in everything.
Yeah.
The winning word in 2022 was more
hen, which is a like marsh water bird.
M-O-R-E-H-E-N.
What do we do it?
No.
No, come back.
It's a trick because it sounds too much like what it is which makes me worried
Yeah, I'm oh oh oh R H N. Yeah, it is yeah, mm-oh oh R H N
I know a lot of people probably put the space in there. Yeah
Space space I mean, space.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Interesting.
Wow.
Okay.
Your word is, it was the best of times it was the worst of the...
2022, not a very competitive year.
We're hoping it's going to be going better in 2020.
No kidding.
And these kids get a little bit smarter, but hey, why don't we do our part to get these kids smarter
by doing some riddles that maybe a kid don't listen if you're a kid. Well listen to
I do know I do know that we do have we do have
kids that listen because kids will occasionally send me voicemails
or send voicemails to the show and I gotta say I have to just delete those
Yeah, that's correct. Yeah, is there any chance that their adults doing really convincing kid voices?
I'm sure some entertainers listen to you.
You know what, there is a chance.
If you're an adult,
particularly to be a kid,
call your rental podcast,
go ahead and open up a journal
and start writing because you need some self-reportation.
Will Ferrell, Jim Carey or Adam Sandler character,
you are not real.
I'm introducing a very quick new segment and this is called 1-877 The Voices for Kids.
We have internationally acclaimed voice artist Janet Varney on the podcast.
So we're all going to go around and for just 10 seconds do a voicemail in our best kid
voice and our most convincing kid voice, okay?
I'll go first and say it's the start of this mess okay hello is this a little scary scary bail okay okay who's next who's
next Aaron you halted mine you want to go yeah I'm really scared mine's gonna be
80% worse than yours. All right. Okay
No, that's a ghost. That's a ghost. This is just a quiet ghost
All kids are ghosts. Oh
There is good stuff in there. There's good stuff in there You could tell from the cadence alone, but there is good kids stuff
In that almost imperceptible
alone, but there is good kids stuff happening in that almost imperceptible. And post can you turn Aaron up like 100%
that is how quiet I was.
All right, GBC you do it.
Okay, do it.
Okay, now I just want to point out it would be very easy for me to turn up my voice
modulator and just get a little kid voice.
I'm not going to do that.
I could do that.
I choose not to do that.
I've never been more sure he's going to do it I'm not going to do that. I could do that. I choose not to do that. I've never been more sure he's gonna do it.
He's gonna do it.
Hi, Hey Riddle Riddle.
This is GPC.
I'm just leaving a quick message because I love the show
and I'm seven years old and you're my favorite.
Bye.
Unfortunately, you did not go high enough
and that sounded like a 14 year old saying they were seven.
So, that's post-puberty voice.
Hey, these these seven year olds are getting more 14 every day.
And you can quote me on that.
People say, what the fuck are you talking about?
You can't delete it.
Janet, you are less to go.
What you want me?
You want me to go or hold on because, um, um, one time when I just didn't, if it's too good, then it's actually scary. This sucks. It's so good. Yeah, that's scary. You make us
Always lived in the castle
All right, here's your rental. Here's your first rental.
Do you guys remember those farmers,
all the knack vettles that you don't like?
Well, there's four of them.
No, no, no, no.
We're almost through them.
We're almost through them.
And once we're done with them,
I don't know that they kept making farmers all the knack.
So this might be the last of them.
Okay, here we go.
Although I'm interviewed each day,
vampire.
I cannot tell.
What was it? Vampire. I cannot tell. What was it?
Vampire.
Next.
How often?
Hold on, I gotta see a scene.
I gotta see a scene.
I gotta see a scene.
It's like in a class of what improv does to your brain.
You will just say, it's just one word, another word, one word, another word.
It's like that text. Exactly. Yeah, I got to see you seen
Aaron you Aaron you're an old-timey
What is this all my neck from like 1915 or something this one's gonna be from 1948?
Okay, Aaron you're in 1948
Farmer we assume in the Midwest Janet you are a vampire who only prays on farmers and you're showing up at this farm.
Well, hello, who goes there?
Very hot outside.
Very, very hot outside.
Shoulda come at night.
Shoulda come at night.
But love to come in.
Burning, burning, burning.
Hello.
Well, hello, stranger.
Come on in.
Could I help you?
Hello.
Yes. Thank you. I'm so hungry.
And hungry, for me, is the same as thirsty. So I guess you could say I'm that too. Hello.
Well, you look pale as a ghost. What happened to you?
First of all, that's hauntist of you. I'm not a ghost at all.
Very, very hungry, very thirsty. A bit of a vampire you've led in. BIT OF A VAMPIRE
who also sounds a little bit like Evan McDonald from Kids and All! Did someone say pale
as a ghost? It's me, a ghost. I'm actually the ghost of a child, so it's very hard for me.
Hello? Can you, are you looking? This is my son. Come on down the stairs, honey. Flow down.
Hello. I want you to know your perfectly safe in my presence, which I could say the same about
Tromami.
I am down the stairs.
This is how close I am.
I wasn't talking far away.
I just have a little boy.
Could you speak up, please?
I'm so sorry.
I'm having a hard time understanding.
My ears are a little crispy from standing outside in the sunlight.
I wish I could.
This is like, I'm screaming right now. It's as loud as that.
See.
I gotta say, I'm very, very hungry.
Sounds like an SNL character catchphrase.
No.
So I think that vampire has legs.
No in a good way, in a way of like,
that's a returning character.
I do like the idea of that woman having to now be immortal
herself to have to deal with that ghost child for all of eternity.
That's a haunted farm for sure.
It's hard when you tell a person who is a comedian
that character they were doing is SNL quality and they go,
oh yeah.
Yeah, I'm wearing the good one.
It's not 1948 anymore if you know what I mean.
Hey, that's received. And like a Roseanne Rosanna Dan away.
Yeah.
Oh, okay, here we go.
We'll try to get the full rid of that this time, Adil.
Sorry, Tisk Tisk.
Although I'm interviewed each day, I cannot tell a word, folks say, I'm speechless, but not
silent. I cannot tell a word folks say I'm speechless but not silent though I make a noise where I where ever
It's where
Where are where are where are that is an easier thing to say than wherever like yeah, we got rid of one of the letters
So now it's easy to say let me just say wherever and they didn't really even get rid of it
They've replaced it with a I guess it's for the rhyme a poster for the rhyme. Is it going to be for the rhyme? Because that's an echo syllable.
Farmer's Almanac was famously for like the Cracker Barrel
region. So it's all Fulxy and like, you know what I'm saying?
Where?
Yeah.
Where?
You're calling Farmer's the Cracker Barrel region.
I kind of said Midwest, but I prefer to say the Cracker Barrel
region. CBR.
What do I live? I live in the Cracker Barrel belt.
We used to have in the Barrel belt. Now we We still have industry belts. Okay, here we go. Although I'm interviewed each day,
it's just this right over the rest of the podcast. I cannot tell a word, folks, say,
I'm speechless, but not silent, though. I make a noise where wherever I go,
I do not always tell the truth, yet I am not to blame for sooth. For those who do me in confide, for those
who do in me confide, I often import things to decide. Although I have not a doctor's
skill, I am consulted when one's ill. If you can now one's name divine, I pray you tell
me reader reader mine. This turned into like a weird demonic ritual at the end.
I know.
It's like a magic eight ball.
After four sooth, things really.
Yeah, yeah, this is, this is also Aaron, this is 1948.
I don't know when the magic eight ball first came along.
I'm looking it up.
49.
I'm interviewed each day, but I can't tell what anyone's saying.
Yeah, I'm interviewed each day.
I can't tell a word folk say.
He's like a diary?
A sketch, a planner.
A therapist.
No, no, but that's good.
A post war bond.
1946, it was invented in 1946.
She was a genius after.
That does surprise.
That surprises me.
Me too.
It always surprises me that they had anything in 1946,
because I'm like,
well, back then it was a magic one ball
and it's advanced over time.
Is this some sort of...
World War II had just ended
and someone was like, you know what we need?
I have decision, Vittini,
can we invent a ball that decides for me?
This is top of mind.
It's true that it's so specific to like billiards mm-hmm. Yeah
Why?
Probably some old superstition where if you asked in a ball something it would help you out
We're sure that's gotta be I can't tell me these long
Like a machine it is it something like a nanocross?
It is inanimate and I would say mechanical.
Can't tell if it's right or not.
There's no way it's an answering machine.
There were no answering machines.
You're welcome.
Is it a fall?
No, it was not an answering machine.
Is it a...
A telegraph.
A telegraph.
Yeah, that's thank you.
Thank God you're...
No.
It is not a telegraph.
I need to ask you not to perk up when I say something
that reminds you of the correct answer.
It's very deceptive.
I'm speechless but not silent though.
I'll make a noise wherever I go.
Telephone.
Telephone.
Telephone.
Phone a graph.
Iron long.
It doesn't have, but I can't.
It doesn't have phone in it.
No, Iron long.
Phone a graph. Is it a photograph a music player. I think so I have a third horn the big old horn
Where I go this thing's traveling guys you got to think smaller than a phone a car rolling that around town
Is it a Android salesman?
He said an Android salesman night. Be honest with me. Yeah, be honest with me brutally honest
I enjoyed salesman. Bionist with me.
Yeah, be honest with me.
Brutally honest.
A lousy artist.
A lousy artist.
Honest is no.
Brutally honest is fuck no.
Flenderman.
Flenderman is it a blender man?
Speaking of being brutally honest with you guys, I was driving earlier today and I was taking
a left hand turn that did not have an arrow.
And so when that happens, you just wait until like the light turns yellow, you're like in the middle
of the intersection and then you go.
Well, there was a guy behind me who was like driving
right on my ass the whole time.
And the intersection turned yellow and the cars were still
coming, so the cars that were coming were like,
they don't care.
And this guy starts laying on the horn behind me
and I'm like, oh, you just want me to go die.
Oh, okay.
So I was like, red, I turned, he went on the red as well.
And now we're on like a one lane street.
And I could tell this guy was getting mad
because he just like wanted to pass me
but it's a one lane street.
So we got up to where the street became two lanes
but I like stopped just short of that
because it was a red light.
So he couldn't get around me
and he started laying on the horn
and he leans out the window and goes, go around.
And I go, what?
Where?
What do I do?
What do I do? What do I do?
And I was like, where do you want me to go?
I think he's like, there.
And I was like, where?
Just like tons of space.
I would've had a pay-out attack and given him my car.
I've never been so sure someone was from Los Angeles.
I promise you he's from Los Angeles.
All the things you described are essentially
the rules of driving Los Angeles.
Honk at someone when there's a yellow and there's still cars,
everyone, two people go on the red, like this is real.
My favorite thing about UJPC is when you get yelled at, you turn into snaggle-puzz.
Wow, believe you would be the turn left, right?
Possibly even.

You would take this with you wherever you go.
A knife.
The oldest machine in the world.
An ostentatious but silent knife.
No, a watch, a watch.
It is a watch.
Okay, I was gonna say cell phone time traveler.
A watch is right.
I just do.
It's a watch.
I mean, interviewing your watch just feels like a threat.
Yeah.
Yeah, but interviewing a vampire is fine.
I'd like to see a scene.
Adel, you are an old timey man and you are interviewing or just talking to your watch.
You're trying to inquire about the time.
And JPC, you are that watch.
OK.
Oh, looks like the sun's about to go down behind the clouds today.
Let's take a gand at the old wrist, doctor,
and see what he has to say.
Hello, friend.
Where hello there.
If you're checking in with me, it can only
be about one thing.
You're interested in the time
No, no, no, no, I want to know how your day was. What what would you up to today? No, no, no
It's okay. You can cut the pleasantries with me old pal
No, if you're looking at the watch you want the time
No occasionally you might want the date and I'm happy to provide it. I am a watch that does that
But in general you're looking for the time and that's happy to provide it. I am a watch that does that.
But in general, you're looking for the time and that's okay. No, Fred, listen, I could not be more sincere right now.
Who was your first kiss?
I'm dying to know.
I want to know everything but the time.
And I got time to listen.
Listen, friend, we don't have to do it with these pleasantries, okay?
We're past pleasantries.
You wear me on, you rest every day.
I see what you see. I do what you do.
Ah, you're getting hot. Watch us get real hot.
Oh, are you going to take me off? No, you could take me off.
Order, order in this court, Councillor, you have far extended your thick time you requested.
If you need to know the time, find out the time and continue with your questioning. Y honour, if I may call a surprise witness to the stand, I'd like to call...
...Wooding for gasps?
Oh, I should say first, and then the gasps...
My watch!
What? That's the craziest thing ever? That's stupid.
You're watching, watch, please. You're watching on the stand?
Your watch is on the witness list. This comes as a prize to absolutely no one.
Please watch, take the stand.
Yes, we prepared for this. The prosecution is fine to continue for it.
Oh no. We actually have lots of questions for the watch.
Okay, up, up you go, let me have a look. I don't know how helpful I'll be, but I'll try to be
as helpful as I can be. Now, uh, stage your name and your occupation.
I was never given one. That is my owner's prerogative.
But I was never given one. And I may watch.
Uh, you're on a objection.
Are you objecting to what the witnesses say?
I just feel terrible. Can we get...
Is there time to give my watch a name right now?
I'll allow it.
Okay, now it is 1922 and I want to say the most popular way of boys names of the time.
I want to say way off check me.
Margaret.
Margaret.
Margaret.
Margaret.
Margaret.
Margaret.
Margaret.
And Stinton.
So watch I'll leave it to you.
You want to be more great at Stinton.
You're honor I object. He's obviously looking at me.
Attorney more grit stintin. No, no, no, no, you are
Sustained.
Sustained. Oh, no, that's the good one. I like that one. Yeah, that's good for me
Well seen
I just wrote a note in my notes app.
I just wrote a note in my notes app.
Mortgret and Stinn is the new Kevin and Susie question mark. Oh, my.
Our fans are going to Mortgret and Stinn.
It just reminds you that once upon a time,
you could come across these names that all you do
is just change the one vowel
and it's the funniest thing you've ever heard.
It's so simple, it's perfect.
Mortgret.
Coming up with those names, my nose started bleeding.
My brain worked so hard.
I wanna say more great.
It's not a bigoted to name, but more great.
More great.
My great grandma's name was Fern Brownlee,
and she was born the day the Titanic sink.
Whenever that was, in 17, 19.
I think Ferny's really cute now.
She has, she's not, I can't trust this enough.
Guys, my great grandma was not an iceberg.
I cannot stress it at all.
It feels like you're talking a lot about it at all.
Your grandma, Nenmer.
The lady does her test.
Ooh, that's part of the riddle.
The lady does her test too much for soup.

Hey, Merrill.
Hello, yes, hello, yes, I'm very well rested

Helix Madras, good to see you, good to see you.
Your naps are stunning.
I just wanted you to tell people about Helix sleep,
how the Helix lineup offers 20 unique mattresses,
including the award-winning Luxe collection.
The newly released Helix Elite Collection,
a mattress design for big and tall sleepers,
even a mattress made just for kids.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Yeah, and Helix knows there's no better way
to test out a new mattress than by sleeping on it
in your own home.
That's why they offer a 100 night trial
in a 10 to 15 year warranty to try out the new Helix mattress.
Who do you, who, who did I think you were?
Maybe I'm asleep.
I don't know.
Merrill, I'm Merrill Sleep, and I know everybody is unique.
And everybody sleeps differently.
I just recommend taking the
Helix Sleep quiz and you can figure out what mattress is right cheap for you. I
don't know if you're a side sleeper or you sleep hot or cold or if you sleep like
me. Meryl Sleep. Yeah choosing the right mattress is a real Sophie's decision
but don't just take our word for it or Meryl sleeps word for it. Helix has been
awarded the number one mattress picked by GQ and Wired Magazine.
It was even recommended by multiple leading chiropractors and doctors of sleep medicine.
I don't think I thought you were the person that was doing it.

But how?
I don't know.
Hey, Rick, don't break the wall.
Okay, hey look, we're back.
We're back.
We're done fucking around.
It's riddle time, baby, and I have great news for you.
This is the last of the Almanac riddles.
We'll never have to use another one of these.
I don't know, probably not ever.
Oh God, okay.
There's probably like a bunch more,
there's probably a bunch more of Almanac riddles
later in this e-book that I have.
Here we go, this one's from 1963.
Cool.
So 1963.
For more.
For the summer of love.
Oh, would it pass the four summer of love. No, it's it's it's before right 67. Yeah
What else is going on?
63 I want to say the Beatles were
They're always right whenever you guess Bay of pigs. I think you've always been right
Yeah, I think Bay of pigs might be right
I think it's 61. I think
it's 61. But maybe it dragged out. It dragged out.
In 1963, we had President John Arrog on a crook F. Kennedy in the White House. We had
Margaret Stanton in the White House. One of our finest president, Margaret. Good to be a vice president, it's a Spiro Aguibas name,
for sure.
Sure, sure.
Margaret's didn't.
Okay, here we go.
I am in the min, but not in the boys.
I am in the,
wow, I,
a few good men.
A few good men.
I am in the play thing, but not in the toys.
Maybe toy store, I remember what, okay, I'm gonna do it.
Friends, this is what improv brain does to you. I am in the North, but not in the toys. I am in the door. Okay, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna go.
Friends, this is what improv brain does to you.
I'm in the North, but not in the South.
I'm in the nose, but not in the mouth.
I am in the Minister, but not in his hat.
I'm in the kitchen, but not in the cat.
I am in the barn, but not in the floor.
I am in the window, but not in the door.
I am in the country, but not in the state.
I am in the pencil, but not in the style.
I know.
I know it.
And. Yeah.
I was stating on the vowels because of Margaret.
Yeah.
At a certain point, I need to move to the ends.
Yeah, more grit does make you fixate on the vowels.
That's one of the more grits worst qualities.
Um, we're all, we're all.
I feel like we're all friends here and I feel like this is a safe place to kind of be vulnerable.
I don't know what gave me that idea.
I could not have read the room more well.
When I was younger, I always used to think that an M was just two ends kissing.
Did I got held after class for saying that?
You did?
You did?
See me after class?
Is any of this true?
I did used to think that but I never got held after class. That that. You did? See me after class. Is any of this true?
I did use to think that, but I never got held after class.
That would be wild.
What was, when you were a little kid, what was your stance on the V, the noble V?
V is for victory, of course, because I grew up during D-Day.
But was it W-2-V's kissing?
Yeah.
No, for whatever reason, the N and the M look like they were pushing
together, where V's look like they were arm and arm. Did you think that a D was a C and
L kissing? Oh, how far out can we take it? She had it, you just blew my fucking mind.
Wow, nothing I think about it. Maybe I was just kissed deprived. He's obsessed with kissing. I think an A is just two eyes that have fallen over in our holding hands.
They're putting their hands out.
Yes, they're Eiffel Tower.
I want this alphabet book sounds pretty good to me if a little sexy.
Alphabet of love?
Yeah.
Let's write it.
Is there a market for a sexy book that teaches children to out all leave the office?
I'll just leave it at the end.
You valid it, Martin.
No, you do not.
Okay.
You've never met a horny linguist?
I've met a cunning one.
Okay.
So no more of those riddles.
No more of those.
I think that we're gonna transition back to,
this is our listener submitted riddle,
the subject of this is that it's an infuriating riddle.
So I feel like it's really great to go from the, it's a transition point back from the,
Almanac riddles to this infuriating riddle.
Okay, at least they're honest in this, in the header.
Okay.
Here's the, here's the beginning of the riddle. I think it's like a two-parter.
Yeah. How do you fit an elephant into a safe way back?
How do you fit an elephant and safe way, we talked about safe way before. It's like a regional grocery store.
Yeah, I think it's. Yeah. They're in Arizona for one.
Croger. I actually know. They're in Arizona for one. Crogor, do you ever get a girlfriend?
I actually don't know.
But it's so weird.
It's so weird to put safe in the title of a grocery store.
Oh, I'm sorry.
You want to play it a little more dangerous when you get your groceries.
Absolutely.
That's why I go to a cost more.
Janet has a newsletter.
She emails out about regional grocery stores and it seems like Adel is not up to date
on the reading.
Absolutely true.
I went on a apologize.
I meant to say that's why I go to a Costco,
but I flood my joke because I paint it.
It's a Costco being a more dangerous story.
Well, this is an infuriating.
Well, first of all,
you don't suffocate that elephant in the bag
because that's infuriating.
So that's why it's infuriating
because just thinking about what you're doing
to that poor elephant.
I'll say, it would be hard to think to suffocate
and elevate in a safe way bag.
I think they could get through it pretty easily.
Yeah.
Is this something like by the pound?
Is it something like that?
Ew, oh, no.
I do think that that is an answer,
kind of in the spirit of where this is going,
but not that.
Like, but it's like, yeah.
When I think of the thing you're thinking of when you say
by the pound, I should be horrified.
Yes, no, yes.
But unless, I mean, hey, look, in a society where we ate elephants,
we could probably pick them up from the grocery store,
and then it would be perfectly normal to go to pound of elephant
and put it in a safe way back.
And that is the answer.
That is the answer.
That's my answer.
The answer is that has that much defensiveness baked in.
Well, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
No, the answer starts with, well, actually point no, actually point.
When you think about it though, it starts out.
Okay, I do want to see a scene, Eric.
Can we see a scene?
This is going to be, you're giving a TED talk about food sustainability,
but you have several different types of new ideas for how we can all be more sustainable
with our food.
Hello, everyone.
Let me pose a big question to you, first slide.
What else can we eat?
Huh?
Next slide.
She's split across the stage.
Wow, she's split back? She's a gymnast.
One of we started eating things that we haven't yet.
Elephants, giraffes, chairs, friends.
She's drunk.
Money?
Hi, my name is Erin and I'm drunk.
And I'm here to talk to you about what else we can eat.
I want to open it up to the crowd for questions.
Post something we can eat and I'll say yes or no.
You there?
You're a burger.
No.
What else?
She's burger.
No.
Something we haven't eaten before.
Hot dog?
What is happening? No. Something we haven't eaten before. I dog? What is happening? No! Something we haven't eaten before.
I've never eaten a hot dog.
Never?
A scromba-nast.
A scromba-g-you're just making up words!
Sir, let's do a quick intermission.
We're all gonna go to the zoo. We're gonna get you a hot dog
and then we'll come back here.
Right, two hours past.
Everyone's using napkins to wipe off wipe off the ketchup in a minute?
No, no, no, no.
We're back.
Wait, I thought of something at the zoo
that we could eat that we've never had before.
What is it?
Cotton candy.
Yeah.
We've eaten that before.
Next slide.
I also did.
Can we go back?
I've seen.
How do you fit an elephant?
How do you fit an elephant?
How do you fit an elephant in a safe way bag?
Oh, interesting.
So it's not yet.
It's an elephant in a safe way bag.
Well, if you're going to fit it, you're taking it to the tailor.
The tailor is going to fit it with a perfectly sized, handsome, three-piece safe way bag.
Oh, three-piece safe way bag.
That's how you fit an elephant into a safe way bag.
I think it's bothering me. Okay, it's I think you've given good answers. Can I give you the answer?
Yeah. Okay. You take the F out of the way. Which how do you put an elephant into a safe way?
Which how do you put an elephant into a separate bag? A E way say way
No, the afternoon elephant right?
No, it's not a little bit of an elephant.
It's not a little bit of an elephant.
Oh, sweetie, no.
You take the F out of the way.
This is awkward all over.
You take the F out of the way.
I mean, I can get the F out of the way.
You get the fuck out of the way.
I understand that part.
No, you take the F out of the way.
You take the F out of the way. You don't get the F out of the way. You take the F out of the way. And I'm assuming you take the F out of my way. You get the fuck out of the way I understand that part. No, you take the f out of the way. You take the f out of the way. You don't get the f out of the way. You take
the f out of the way. And I'm so much better. Take the fuck out of my way, guy. Go around.
Go around. What? I don't know what it is. I don't know what to take the f. I don't, I
still, I assume it's the F in Safeway. I still understand
Intellectual you've ever sounded answering over the show that is correct here. It was that is correct
Say say way doesn't actually say way doesn't actually make sense. Yeah, it's a say way is not really the answer It's okay first part of the answer essay
You write an essay about it. Oh
a A, you write an essay about it. Oh, that's what's tough. A,
and then you put the word elephant in.
No.
What is that?
And the answer.
The answer, because you got to say,
wait, this is, the person who sent this in,
a Hanesie, Hanesie, all the best, love you Hanesie,
said inevitably they will pick that part
apart until they get to this answer,
and I don't know how you make that jump,
but the jump is you got to say way, which doesn't make sense.
Yeah.
So the answer is that doesn't work.
There's no F in way.
Oh, there's no F in way.
You need like an MIT jitter,
so I'm gonna. This sucks.
No, Dylan hurt us. Dylan hurt you.
This is what the rental wants.
It is infuriating.
So the way that the rental works is how do you fit
the safe way bag?
There's no F in way.
You said this was submitted by Hennessy.
So you're supposed to get to you take the F out out
on your own.
And that leads you then to. I am supposed to answer you take the F out out on your own. And that leads you then to...
I am supposed to answer you take the F out of way
as the answer, because you can't get that,
because that answer is making me sick.
It depends on the answer being given,
which is why you very suspiciously offered the answer
super early in the process.
But it does say a few minutes you should go by
before they realize it doesn't make sense.
I don't got that part immediately,
because you were like, say, say, what does that mean?
So I felt like you did that part really well.
I mean, anyone could do this.
I could be like, how do you travel to the sun in one second?
You can't.
That's why you see ants like, what the fuck is this?
This is nothing.
This is nothing.
Heterites.
Heterites, this is a spelling riddle. And also nothing. Wow. The thing. Hey, handerites, handerites.
This is a spelling riddle.
And also a fierce test of your friendship.
This will infuriate them if they haven't heard it before
and they may never speak to you again afterwards.
So, did it work?
Is there a way to block listeners like a spurs?
No.
No.
You know, I'm not gonna let this hurt me.
This is water off the ducks back
because riddles can't hurt me anymore.
I built up my armor against
riddles. How mature. This is not that I'm not taking that as a challenge, Aaron.
Shut off JPC. I am so mad. You are dead to me. She's doing well. Honestly, I never
thought I'd say this. Talk about how evolved I am idiot. I never thought I'd say this but bring back the farmers all my
neck. No. Is that farmers all the next Nichols said? Who is that? Hey bring back the
farmers are. I'm all my neck Nichols. I eat breakfast 13 miles away for people who
were seaweed. They retire. Retire that good
Our tire, but I'll still show up into Lakers games
Adelaide like it. I like what you're having fun. Yeah
This one this one this one comes from Austin Austin writes I wrote this ready myself. I hope it's good enough to make it on the show
But not bad enough to the point where JPC gives it an F. I do not give it an F Austin
There's no way you're reserve. You're getting an F.
There's no F in the reserve.
Throw it back into space.
Yeah, take that.
That my fault, blame Hennessy.
I blame you.
A mother and father were going to see their son perform
in his band.
Can we just stop it?
Take a second to just really appreciate that moment.
Yeah.
That's like two ends kissing.
Truly a moment I never experienced.
I'm gonna have to keep you after this.
So sorry.
The bands performance started at 3 p.m. But because
traffic, the parents couldn't make it to where
they're suddenly performing. Because of this, they
drove all the way to the other side of town and waited
for their son to meet them there. When he arrived, the
parents told their son how great his performance was,
and he said he was happy they made it.
How could this be?
Okay, first of all, this is a trick
because it came from the city of Austin.
So, already we have a wrong.
And we know they're weird.
Yeah, so we know. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, sin? Fifth, fifth street? Sixth, six, three.
Sixth Street. I think it might be six.
I'm not sure and I was just there and I'm not sure.
Okay, sorry the okay the kid in the band, they wanted to
have a phone. Was it being televised?
They can't get there at time.
Yeah, this is not an electric ears blitters situation.
Call back to our first episode.
Five years ago.
First riddle.
Well, this riddle submission is from 2018.
So not really a call back for them.
Electric ear splitters is our Adam and Eve.
That's our yes, our origin.
It's our original sin.
I think you're going to have to read it again.
I apologize.
Yes, please.
Mother and father going to see their son perform in his band the band's performance started at 3 p.m
But because of traffic the parents couldn't make it to where the son would be before. Oh a parade. I got it. I got it. Oh
The band traffic
headed up by Eric Clapton
They couldn't get there because traffic was playing
and they wanted to see them play as well.
I'm sorry I did that, but you got so excited
and you said I got it like board team times
and I just, I don't know why I needed
to take away a dot of your sales.
I'm sorry.
Talking got away for future reference.
Is it a marching band?
No, Janet was correct, but it was cream, not traffic.
Oh, that clap that was cream, not trapped. Oh, that's what it was. But it wasn't the top. We're derrickin the dominoes around or the
yard birds. Yes, the sun was playing in a marching band. So Aaron, you were correct, but
at all, you were right. That's incredibly magnanimous. Wow. Is that how like, mediation works? Yeah, I'm practicing.
Yeah, I'm practicing.
Yeah, Aaron, I'll amend that.
Aaron, you were right, but Adel was correct.
Yeah, and I was a dick and Adel was being good.
I was being a jerk and Adel was being nice.
So that counts for something.
You guys, you guys absolutely got it.
You absolutely also got that it took place in Austin. That was just a in email from Austin. City.
Austin. City.
I was also in the correct. What's what can you say besides right and correct? What's the third one?
So let's see. So Aaron was right.
And Janet was also there as well.
Thank you.
I don't think I've ever seen a parade
that hasn't made me cry.
Is that weird?
Praise me, me cry, you guys don't know me.
Stop, dad, stop.
What?
What's going on?
What happened?
I don't know.
There's something about a parade that chokes me up.
It doesn't, I guess I'm very human.
Yeah, I'm like, I mean, often, I mean, you know,
I'm not talking about like some sort of weird offensive,
like Nazi parade, but like usually there's, you know, kids doing that.
Because how many of those have we had?
And honestly, big two.
Yeah.
And Janet, can I say thank you for saying offensive Nazi parade?
Yeah.
Because triumph of the will is.
Beautiful, beautiful word.
No, it just like, and then, and then the music, I don't know,
there's just something about it that I always get a little choked up.
Wow, interesting.
Yeah, I agree. I went to Mardi Gras this past time around,
and there were so many high school, local high school marching bands,
and they were so good, and I cried like three times.
Like, they're so sweet, and they're just playing music and having fun with their
friends.
It was lovely.
Yeah, there's something so simple about it.
I don't know.
The last one I saw was the Chinese New Year parade during Sketchfest in San Francisco
and it was just so adorable.
I think I was crying even just at someone waving from a car.
Someone slowly driving a car down the street and waving and I didn't know who it was.
And I still was like, this is so sweet. Now Janet, are you? Are you? Are you someone who,
are you very particular about like organization? Like, do you like things to be neat and tidy?
Uh, yeah. Okay. Is there anything to like organize lines and this sort of procession in a row
that pleases your brain or tickles
it in some way.
I don't think so.
I think you're trying to give it more of a reason than just like, oh, humans, oh, humans
being humans.
Well, I'll all say is that every parade I've been at is usually it's usually like 80,
uh, 22 year olds whipping double bubble at people at 35 miles per hour and it whacking them in the neck.
Yeah, that does sound great. And then falling to the ground and then somebody else grabs the candy.
So that's my experience with parades and I think they suck.
I think the last time I was at a parade, I truly think the last time I was at a parade was a
pride parade and the people that are crying at the pride parade are crying for completely different reasons. They're so drunk, they're lost, they're wearing no clothes.
Oh no. I'm like, well someone helped this crying, man. I'm so drunk, I'm lost. That's a
t-shirt. I'll pee you by pride at every pride parade. Every pride parade, I'm like, so
happy we're able to do this. Yeah, now, hey, now next time I'm at a parade, I'm going to be on the lookout for crying people. I'm going to go over to them and Yeah, no hey now next to my mat of parade
I'm gonna be on the look up for crying people. I'm gonna go over to them and say hey, you're normal
Beto Beto
James crying look jennice crying
I'm a skido with
Financial problem
Jannice crying look jennice crying
That financial problem will not last long for you That's a problem. That's a problem. But, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, I can't fill that comment. Wasn't it parade? I think it was just like a procession. It was like a legit parade.
What is a parade of not a procession?
Well, I mean, it used to be like
just the president was driving through town,
but now I guess we don't do that anymore
because of the one time we did that
and it didn't really go very well.
So we really don't have that kind of parade anymore.
It didn't go very well.
I need to see a scene.
This is a funeral procession that is going through town and
JPC you don't understand and think that you're in a regular parade in Aaron and Adal. You're trying to control the situation
Okay, and let's all just keep moving and
If anyone needs tissues, I have tissues. Thanks Carl. It's really so.
Who wants a fucking T-shirt?
Oh no.
Hey.
Oh yeah.
I brought my T-shirt cannon because we're gonna be in the parade.
Darryl.
Hey Darryl.
Darryl.
What is your T-shirt cannon having pump action?
It's a pump action T-shirt cannon, man.
Sorry, there may have been one extra wrapped,
surely cheese dog in there from the last time I was using it.
But it's got six chambers on it.
So once I go through, it should be all t-shirts from there.
Darrell, this isn't like a second line or something.
This is a somber.
We're doing a somber procession.
Yeah, grandma Lisa is dead.
No, no.
What do these t-shirts say?
Hold on, I want to know.
Grandma Lisa is dead. No, no, what are these T-shirts say? Hold on, what are they? Grandma Lisa.
R-Appy Grandma Lisa, party animal.
From here to beyond.
1931 to 2023.
And I took a guess on the 31.
She's old, right?
Not the right year.
Not the right year.
I got this year, right, though, right?
Let's see.
Let's see.
One for doing best. But T-shirt guy works quick. You got the one more rid of. Grandma Lisa, that seemed like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like,
I'm like,
I'm like,

Like, uh, does Zebra have stripes?
Like, do you love me?
Hey, are grandma's leases?
My fingers are crossed.
The next time I-
You love me.
Fingers across the next time I watch Jeopardy, the final category is like names.
And then the question is, are grandma's leases?
It is kind of fitting though, because you can never really own a grandma.
You just lease them.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, I can smell that.
I can actually smell that.
That's so different.
You know what you mean?
You probably honestly smell like shit, dog.
Oh man.
Oh, you just said smells like shit.
Whenever someone says something that's just so out of pocket on the show, I literally have
a fantasy of like pulling my,, what is it called like?
Rip cord?
Rip cord?
Of like, my parachute, the shots go flying up in the air.
Okay, so it does open in your fantasy.
Yeah, in the fantasy, it opens and I go flying up in the air.
It's like the Batman one where instead of you going like down, you should think up and then the plane comes and sky hooks you away.
Yeah.
The backman.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Backwards Batman.
And speaking of Batman, you know, the pale moonlight, where's the
get the toys?
Stupid.
God damn it.
Are Grandma's Lisa's Batman?
I'm in.
I turn into Pennywise by the end.
It's a great one for you.
So into your Jack Miggle's.
Oh, it's so gross.
You're right on it, man.
You're so much.
You're right on it.
I've been working for ever since the departed
came out in theaters, I wanna say.
Uh huh.
A little more time on that one.
I think it's just getting cooking,
but I think it's getting there.
It's getting there.
Yeah.
You got to slow cook it, baby.
So if you put a fork in this impression
and you pull it out, there's still some batter on it?
Oh, yeah.
No.
No, it's real runny.
Huh.
Okay, here we go.
Thank you, Senator.
Good.
This is from Andrew.
Best wishes from New Zealand, Andrew says.
Oh.
What three-letter word can change a boy into a man?
You're not gonna do a New Zealand accent or?
Was that not a New Zealand accent?
Oh, that's my best word.
What three letter word?
Yeah, I can't.
Puberty.
Puberty.
So you've really queued into what a word is,
and I have to applaud you for that.
You're a little far off on letters. Okay
We got to start somewhere. This is my new character second-grade teacher
Encouraging what three-letter word three-letter word can change a boy into a man
Nope, it attached to the word boy or do you put it before or after the word question? It Aaron neither
Boyman, but that is a great question Boyant but it before or after the word question. It, Aaron, neither. Boiman.
But that is a great question.
Hmm, boiant.
No, but no, Aaron, because I said no to you already.
That a boiant man.
This is a three letter word that changes a boy into a man.
Okay.
I think you're on, is Aaron on to something?
No, the idea of adding those three letters
into making a work with book. Okay. You don't add anything to something? Oh, the idea of adding those three letters into making a work with book.
Okay.
You don't add anything to the beginning of these,
you don't add anything to either one of these words.
It's like, it's a completely new word
that is a three letter word that changes a boy into a man.
And DAPC, can I ask, is this something like,
not the hospital area, but if I were to say like,
I see you in terms of like I, S-E-E, Y-O-U, but. but I say it I see you is it that kind of thing? No, it's an actual word
It's not like I know it and it's Aaron okay wait hold on there Aaron knows it. I can't scream it out
Do you want to scream it out? Yeah, I don't know you want to scream it out because Aaron knows it wait
Let me make it even more satisfying for you. Oh my gosh. I know it. I know it. I know it's good. It's the it's the band OAR
You go to OAR
concert, you are immediately a man. Bad advice. Don't go to an OAR concert. Interesting. Interesting.
No, Aaron, would you like to steal? Is it war? That is a great answer, but it is not the one that we are looking for. Oh, and W. Your first beer, you.
Your first beer.
God doesn't.
God turned you into a man.
Answers are very, I'm having a problem with him,
philosophical.
Yeah.
They're getting more far of people.
Oh, each act on philosophical.
You eat enough.
Age, age, age, age.
You've got it, Janna, you've got it.
It is, age.
Thank you.
Eat.
No, I said eat.
No, they all, they all made a little bit of sense.
They just were, that's why we, that's why we have the phrase
eat at Joe's and not eat at little Joe's.
Oh, no.
Oh, I don't know all this.
I still think war, I mean, I kind of feel like war still.
War is pretty good actually.
War wins because it's saying it's about something.
It's about something.
And we have all wanted this podcast to finally be about something.
Anything.
Anything.
Anything, please.
I'm just saying, which is my only idea.
I don't think, I don't think war so much is changes a boy into a man
as it does ruin a boy.
Or just a killer boy.
Yeah.
I guess it also just kills a boy.
But that I will say this,
you want me on that wall.
You need me on that, right, Adel?
Absolutely.
I love your music on that.
And GPC defensive war for more money and oil
Yeah, spoils and toils we all love a war hey something else that we love and this is something I truly love is that we have a new voicemail theme

people are not familiar is a absolute like drop super star. I
know, I know Chris has worked from comedy bang bang and the
Doe Boyz podcast. Had no idea Chris was a listener. I actually
got a goose bumps with Chris a bit of that email
because I was like, you listen, this is great,
this is great for us.
I mean, I will give a plug because I don't know
that I ever hear plugs for this,
but Chris uploads all of his drops and stuff
to his YouTube channel.

I'm sorry.
Absolutely.
Uh, Casey, can you place a voicemail?
Hey, guys, Kristen here.
Big fan.
Uh, I don't know what the fuck I came up with this question, but.
I don't know where the fuck I came up with this question, but someone hands you a bag of plain granola to make some trail mix.
What do you eat to you, Adyen?
Keep doing what you're doing.
Peace out.
I love that question.
That's a great question, Jason.
Thank you so much.
Great question.
Okay.
And for a super sarcastic, yet sincere big fan.
That was a really good example of someone
who says big fan, sounds sarcastic
and means it genuinely.
Big fan.
Big fan.
So the way I understand the question
is that we all have to add one thing
into this trail mix
and hopefully not ruin it for everyone else.
So I'm gonna, I'll, I'll, I can start
and I'll take a stab and I'm, I'm hoping this isn't gonna ruin it for everyone else. So I'm gonna, I'll, I can start, and I'll take a stab,
and I'm hoping this isn't gonna ruin it for people.
I'm gonna add like little dark chocolate squares.
Ooh, yeah, like,
little piece of dark chocolate.
I feel like that's pretty universally accepted in trail mix.
This is not gonna be the healthiest trail mix, sorry,
but it'll taste good.
So that's where I'm at.
Well, I don't like healthy trails.
Ooh, hashtag fail mix. Um. I'm gonna add milk.
And just god damn it. We can't have anything nice on this podcast.
We're gonna finish. No.
And that was at the end of the sentence. Give him some air.
Okay, let me do it, I'll add lemonade.
Oh God.
M&M's.
I would love to go hiking.
I'd love to go hiking with Adel.
And he like three miles it, he pulls out a fucking dripping wet zip lock.
Lemonade.
Lemonade.
Lemonade.
Lemonade.
Lemonade.
Lemonade.
Lemonade.
Lemonade. Lemonade. Lemonade. Lemonade. Okay, yeah, so the grotto was already in there. That's that's the piece I needed to be reminded of yeah when life
Your granola make lemonade. Is that legit your legit putting that in there? Yeah, M&Ms
Okay, or chocolate chips
Pieces small pieces of dark chocolate and then chocolate is what I'm hearing yeah
Hear me out don't scream, lemonade.
Thanks
That's great, that's great
I can't
What are you putting in?
Oh, what am I putting in?
Oh, did you ever, I just realized something, speaking of watches, speaking of naming watches,
did you ever notice that every lemonade brand has time in it, minute, made, country, time?
Anyway Janet, go ahead. Shut up! made, country time. Anyway Janet go ahead.
Shut up. No, not a finish. I want to hear all the other lemonade's that have time in them.
You have all the time you need for your time. I didn't want to listen to that at all and I had to
hear it. Okay, I know what I'm adding. Please. To our trail mix and it is a traveler's blessing.
So there you go, Tristan.
I'm Flarnola, dark chocolate, innocent chocolate chips, lemonade, and a traveler's blessing.
Throw that directly into the trash, speaking of trash.
Janet, do you have anything upcoming that you would like to plug or that you would love
people to see or find?
Uh, sure.
I think, uh, by the time this comes out, the platonic on Apple TV, starring Rose Byrne
and Seth Rogan should be out.
Uh, and I show up, uh, and in, like, the second half of this season, which I think is 10
episodes, and I play a very weird character.
So, I went to the premiere last night
and saw the first two episodes.
It's so good.
It's so funny and so charming.
I loved it.
You never know, you know, and it was really great.
Very so, I can't wait to watch that.
I sounded like I got choked up at the end,
but I just needed a swallow.
I'll have prayed one by it.

That actually shows out. That actually shows out. That actually shows out. Of course, juice hour, It was it was you were interviewed in parade magazine
