Well hello everybody and welcome back to
Hey Riddle Riddle Podcast!
I of course am your host JPC with me, as always.
My co-hosts with the Absolute Mo host.
Adder a fine Aaron Keith.
Adder a Aaron, how's it going?
We have to share one mo host.
You don't have multiple mo host,
where I thought enough mo host for two people.
You guys can share the mo host.
I think it's more than enough mo host
for you to display amongst yourself.
At all, I'm pretty hungry for mohose. Are you hungry for mohose?
Well, I had mohose this morning. So I guess I'm not super
hungry, but I also don't want to not get equal portions.
JPC fixes.
Adal will famously order even when he's not hungry just
because we're ordering.
Yeah, exactly. I've said this before.
I want my own. I want my own podcast, I think.
You want your own podcast? Yeah, Aaron, what would you deal with your podcast?
What would it be?
It'd be called Riddle.
Do-do-do-do-do.
Nope.
Hey, welcome back to Riddle.

Can I tell you guys something?
Should I love it?
A mistake that I made.
It's kind of funny.
Okay.
So today, this is our fifth recording of the day.
I'm not even kidding.
We've been doing this for a very long time.
Something like that.
Sure.
This is a marathon recording day.
I flew back from Chicago today to four hour flight on the airplane.
I decided today I would start. I decided today that I would start the
relicin of the year to make our best of episode. So I was listening to three and a
half hours on double speed of the Hayrittle riddle podcast. And then all the sudden,
I looked up and I went, I'm recording for four hours with, what, I'm recording for,
what have I done? What have I done? Aaron, why didn't you just have like listeners submit their
favorite? Both. I do both because both because not enough people submit.
There's a truth of it.
There's a lot of people that don't like a lot of this stuff.
So I have to go back and I have to find stuff
to make sure it all bounces out.
Yes.
No, no, no, no, we have enough for a best stuff.
We have enough to take a little Christmas break.
We have enough.
We have enough.
I apologize for earlier.
JPC surely needs this.
I apologize for earlier, JPC surely needs this
Hi, welcome to hey
JPC you sound and so good my man. I hate cool PC hair
Smoke is cigarettes
Okay, nobody move that there's a John Travolta in the studio if you don't move he can't see you John Travolta's only since heat
Don't don't do anything musical don't dance
What else?
I don't know. No, he's dancing with her.
The John trivel to predator kills you.
He says, bloody.
Well, if you're having a word day, just remember that I am nine hours into a Hey, Red,
Over at a Lepa's so is what it feels like.
Can I say no and have it not hurt their feelings?
I have a question for you guys.
Sometimes I like to do Patreon episodes of Hey Riddle,
it's a little peek behind the curtain,
where I do, would you rather,
but I have so many fucking riddles prepared
for today's episode that I do not mind
wasting a little bit of time up top
and dick it around with a would you rather, so I have a would you rather situation for the
two of you okay here it is would you rather star in a movie like a big budget
you know coming out theatrical release movie but the movie is not very good. Or is this because I made somebody jump or volta?
This is truly because I saw a movie popping up on one of these streaming services and I
go, oh wow, I had totally forgot about this movie.
This was not a good movie.
This was, you know, that's where they all live now, because they get sold for like $14
of a streaming service.
So, you're the star of a movie. You get to experience what it's like to be the star of a movie,
but you know full well ahead of time
that the movie is not going to be very good.
You're not getting paid to star salary.
You are not getting paid like Tom Cruise
and his 50th movie salary,
but you're getting paid leading actor like salary.
But you're a pressure money.
You are relatively unknown.
Like you're not like a, you're not Robert Doudi Jr.
making this like $50 million on the movie.
Okay.
But you know that the movie's not going to be very good.
You know that your friends are going to see it
and your friends are going to have to be like,
oh, that's not very good.
Would you rather do that or not be in the movie at all?
Here's, I have a question before I decide.
Please.
Can I, a law, Nicholas Cage, can I be fully aware and conscious that it's going to be terrible
and lean into it as per Bad Lieutenant Port of Call and ten other Nicholas Cage movies?
Here's what's going to happen. You are are not gonna be the problem with the movie.
Okay.
No one is going to say,
oh I saw this movie, Adoles really bad in it.
Oh, that's an ad-
Yeah, of course.
You won't be great in it.
You won't be like, wow, it sucks that he was in this thing.
But you are not the problem.
You are not all of the problem, okay?
The, the, the, but no one is gonna walk away from this movie
being like, addle really sunk this thing.
It's gonna be, the movie was not good.
It was never gonna be good.
JPCI had a good time.
I'm getting paid, I'm having a good time.
I'm getting paid, I'm having a good time.
There's gonna be a premiere at the premiere.
They're gonna feed me, and I'm just coming from a recording
where I was sharing mohost.
So, for the food alone, you have like eight weeks of crafty too, Adel.
I mean, you're going to be able to eat on set as well.
Mohost is such an insulting serving size as is that to get a half portion is just
a decent.
People don't know this, but mohost is half a remick and so it's small.
Yeah, it's small. Aaron, so, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I love a great time anywhere I go. I think JP is gonna write it for us to start.
Eric keep, I've always had a good time,
unless it was it fun.
Yeah, if it's fun, then I will have a good time.
Yes, of course, I'll have a good time.
I'll have a great attitude about it if it's awesome.
Ah, initially.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on guys, we're all saying the same thing.
Ugh.
Oh, me? Yeah, I'm one of the best doctors saying the same thing. Ugh. Ugh. Oh, me?
Yeah, I'm one of the best doctors that you can have.
I'm a great doctor as long as nothing goes wrong.
Ha ha ha ha.
All right.
Okay, so you're both doing it.
You're both taking the movie.
Yeah, of course.
What are you doing?
I'm directing.
Oh, no, that's why it's so bad.
Now we know the problem.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I keep asking where my DP is and somebody hands me a doctor, pepper.
Oh, JP.
Let's do some riddles, JP.
Okay, okay.
I think I'm actually ready.
We got some riddles and we're still dipping into these riddles from 2018.
But I gotta say, we're in November now.
We're almost of 2019.
In a couple of years, we're going to be in 2019.
I can't wait till all those
COVID emails start pouring in. Well, yeah, it's going to be, that'll be like 2025, at least
before we get into, you know, February of 2022. And there's a matter, February 2020,
oh god, where does time? These are, this is a warm up from Morgan, okay? What type of jacket
can you never put on?
Sat in jacket because if it rains it's fucked.
A book jacket.
Aaron, a book jacket technically works, but it's not the answer that Morgan was looking
for.
What kind of jacket can you never put on?
A potato jacket.
Because I think the potato jacket.
That's what the Brits call big potatoes.
Jack, potato.
Yeah.
Give it a little jack, potato.
Could I have a hint?
Uh, kind of jack it, you never put on.
This is associated with a certain color.
Ooh.
A red jacket.
Yellow jacket.
Yellow jacket.
Your ball.
Red, bold, birthday party.
I want to give, I I wanna let Aaron have it.
Delete my audio.
Yeah, delete his audio.
We'll do it.
Okay, so Casey, so what happened everyone
if you're listening at home, you heard like a log beep
and you heard Aaron say, you heard Adolesate Nothing
and you heard Aaron say, a red jacket
when you're at a bull's birthday party.
We couldn't know anything about that.
I was talking really fast and with a lot of confidence.
Well, yeah, you lost confidence when you heard him give the right answer, but we
linked that out. I do want to see a scene. Okay. Um, obviously yellow jackets in the
zeitgeist right now in 2023, uh, when you listen to this, uh, TV show about a, um, women's soccer
team that crashes into an island or something. I want to see a scene of the very first second of the show.
I want to see a seed where the two of you,
it was like the two of you going to like a math tournament.
You were the only two flying the plane, the plane crashed,
and it's just the two of you on an island.
Why were we flying an empty plane to a math tournament?
Seen.
Huh, okay. Why were we flying an empty plane to a math tournament?
See.
Huh, okay.
Now, I see the holes.
I see the holes of my plot.
And...
I loved it.
I loved it.
Speaking of holes.
Speaking of holes.
Speaking of holes.
Speaking of holes.
Another word but from Morgan.
What is the worst vegetable to have on a ship?
Um, um, a parsnip. I'd rather say what I just thought of.
Good.
Uh, an onion.
A parsnip and onion and no,
or some of the things that you're saying.
A few cumber.
Now, Aaron, we'd like to give a wide to all of the things that you're saying.
No.
Is it a great, is it a port, whole potato?
Porto potato port potato jacket
Aaron no
I'll potato hole carrot a potato hole a Aaron I do it if you guess every vegetable you will get it
But you'll never know why scurvy. We'll never know why
zucchini
This is honestly this is a vegetable that I just don't think why. Scurvy beans. I never know why. Zucchini. This is honestly, this is a vegetable
that I just don't think about very often in a way.
Banana.
It's, uh oh.
I know, I know, I know.
You don't think that.
It would never come to me.
It's just, it's an vegetable I don't even really cook
with very often.
Broccoli, spinach, cauliflower.
I cook with all of those quite often.
In fact, I know what I would eat. Okay
Is it a virgin and the Britz call it?
Planned-obby it's it's a pun. This is a pun a pun answer. So there's word play here
Okay, so it's something that it's gonna be with like a hole. So Aaron is there a vegetable that has hole in it?
Or oh, oh, I think I know it. Adelonet holes technically vegetables.
Cause Doc and donut promise me.
According to my heart.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Um, the corporation promised me.
So if you have a hole,
a hole on your ship, you also have this.
It's not a hole.
A leak.
A leak.
A leak.
A leak.
And you got it.
In case you go ahead and cut Adel saying it twice. Cut Adelon. Have it ready. Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali, deal of it, but she hardly, you could finish one bite of her mo host. Okay. Aaron, I'll belt think of the sun. Aaron, I'll give you a clean take
where you can say leak and we'll make it sound like you had the answer, but you do have
to give me a shout out or like a promo. Like you have to promote something of mine when
you say the answer. So go ahead, here we go. Clean take. Maybe it's like cabbage or a
part. It's a leak. Oh, yeah, it's a leak, Aaron, you got it.
Show it's my friend, Adel.
You can find him on Twitch at Adelcries on Mondays.
He streams eight hours of...
That's my secret channel.
What?
You told me about something that you, oh no.
I'm sure he used my hair very well.
I know everyone knows.
Well, I hope he doesn't stop doing the channel.
A little over to do with my Monday.
Except for that, that's the channel.
Highlighted my week.
It's right up here.
I'm gonna use this, she did. So that's it. Seattle highlight of my week. It's right up in these. I'm going to use the sheet.
Thank you, Morgan.
Those are great warm ups.
And now we go to a little warm up from Laura.
Kevin ordered an item from Amazon.
The item really sucked, but he still gave it a five star review.
Why?
Back him.
Converse.
All right, Adel, turn about his favorite play.
Aaron, obviously got the right answer there.
You said, Converse, do we want to do a clean take?
Yeah, I do.
Clean take about saying it.
If I order Converse's famous, famous, which is the most famous, if you don't know that
word, looking up.
Yeah, that's looking up.
If you don't know the word, you're dead.
Look at that. That's looking up your dog. If you order the famous
Converse five star sneakers. Mm-hmm. Any any review you leave is technically five stars.
So wow. Yeah, it's eight five stars. Give it to them. Give it to them. Give it to give it to a little more modern and hip and cool, but I I don't see
They're too flat. They got no fucking support. Yeah, I wore those in high school and it ruined my feet
And I looked really cute. Give you that's wow Aaron
Absidible JPC head. Thank you so much Laura. No, I look cute in high school.
I'm allowed to say that I was in high school.
This is a homemade rental.
Got it homemade rental from Charlie.
A man goes to a store and buys a hat
completely legally for $10.
However, he did not have $10.
How do you do it?
Credit card.
No. Credit card, Apple Pay. There's so many ways to do this gift card.
Give certificate. Hold on. This is an ad. This is an ad. Where did ad for Apple pay?
Go to Heyroom Roodle slash. No, that can't be right. Apple pay back. Go to Heyroom. Remember it'll not
not. Apple pay. Hope that it works. Figure out if that, figure out a way
to give us some Apple pay money.
Okay.
They legally, I'm really hung up on the fact
that they had to sheepen in legally bought a hat
because that's the thing that's suspicious.
There's nothing to various here.
The hat was purchased legally.
It's like a birthday crown.
It's like a...
Oh, I think I know.
What is it? So they bought a half or $10. They, oh, I think I know. Addle.
So about a half or $10 they didn't have $10 they had a 20.
Addle, they had a 20.
They got $10 a share.
Aaron, you take it. Aaron, you take it. Go ahead.
Aaron, you want it? Aaron, you want it?
They had a 20.
Is the guy dead or he's a ghost?
I'm a 20. I'm my heart's not in it.
I'm a fraud.
Aaron, you said you'd have fun no matter what
unless it wasn't fun. So. They had a fraud. Aaron, you said you'd have fun no matter what, unless it wasn't fun.
So...
They had a funny...
So it could be the problem here.
No, no, I'm having fun. I'm having fun.
All right, I want to see a scene then Aaron.
So Aaron, you're going to walk into Addles Hat Store
and you find a hat that you really like,
but you don't have any money.
You really want this hat. Ding, ding, ding.

Got it. Can you read it again? This one is kind of tricky. This one is no longer in warm up hurdles
Now one of the real meat and potatos

A leak.
Okay put that in the previous riddle.
No but here is money.
If this if this thing had a leak, it would be a problem.
About.
Uh, it's the answer to the other riddle.
Is this a stuffed dog?
You're looking for a structure.
It's a structure.
It's a building.
A aquarium.

What fits for good may not good. Yeah fair good dear good your good your blimp. No tires a car
Okay, we're good. Yeah, I would give you a hint. It's a structure. Yeah,
but that's not a good enough hint because we didn't get it. Think wishes. Well, oh, well.
Yes, it's a well, well, well, that's really good. I do want to see a scene. No, no, no, you please.
I want to see you seen JPC and Aaron. Well, Aaron, I think you mentioned this before in a story in the shower.
Have you both seen the ring?
Yes.
Yeah.
So in the ring, of course, there's a little ghost crawls out of the well.
So JPC, I want you to be just a random well.
You stop that unlike a tour of a farm. And Aaron, you're the ghost in the bottom of the well, but you're stuck you can't crawl out got it
Wow, this place is so cool. It's like

This is like, this is like a self-guided tour
of this like old farm.
There's no, there's no ropes.
There's no little headset with like a little tape
that tells you about the farm.
Yeah.
If you look at the right, you should see a stone structure and that's the old silo.
Now it's named after a man named silo, it's actually a barn.
I'm sorry, the tour's going on without me.
I- I don't know how to stop it.
Please, no, please don't.
I'm so embarrassing.
I'm a ghost and I got stuck in this well and I can't do my job.

Okay, hold on. I got to take the tour off. You said that you're a ghost

She's haunting.
So I know she fell. Yeah. Yeah, she's embarrassed.
She's embarrassed. Okay, I've got a riddle for you and this one is a riddle from John.
I like this one. Kevin and Susie work together sharing the duties. They start and end at the same
time, but they have very different schedules. Kevin works steadily only taking a half hour for lunch.
Suzy, on the other hand, takes a 10 minute break
every hour in addition to her lunch.
At the end of the month, their supervisors
are praises Suzy for her productivity.
Why?
Easy.
This is something a lot of people asked about.
She works harder.
She works harder.
She's a smoker.
She gets a smoke break, which is unfair to people.
Don't smoke.
So, but how does that get you to the answer?
Where the super buzzer is?
Computer that smokes.
AI.
They're coming.
They're coming.
They're on the way.
Adel, I think that I think that you see where you add.
You play Suzy the smoking computer and Aaron, you're the see where you add all you play Susie the smoking computer and aired you're the first
Person who's ever interfaced with Susie the smoking computer

to return the skater. I'm going to back to my fucking kids every time I'm off work
It's just nag nag nag for once. I'd like to be able to relax do what I want to do
What do you want to do? I don't know go see Toby Keith in concert what the Grand Ole Opry huh?
December 4th
I'm not bringing a computer to see Toby smash cut to me in the computer,
wearing our best clothes, seeing Toby Keith and Gonzer.
Excuse me, man, you can't bring a, you can't bring a computer into the venue.
She's the computer.
I'm the person.
Stop.
No, it's fine.
She'll wait outside.
No, what are you even, no, no, no.
And, and man and, and,
ma'am, this is the grand old operate.
They're smoking here.
So, if you ever went back in,
you gotta be smoking.
Get her out of here.
I told you, I told you,
hey, what are you doing tonight?
I'm actually working.
I really shouldn't talk to women who
I'm working, or...
But, uh, here's my number
if you want to call me after the show.
Put it in my floppy disk.
Oh, I'm definitely getting in trouble tonight.
You see, it was a very silly stuff.
Very silly stuff.
Kevin and Susie worked together sharing the duties.
Oh fuck, I fucking hate when I forget we're in the middle of the fucking griddle.
It feels like falling from the sky. I love what I'm doing. Fuck, I fucking hate when I forget we're in the middle of the fucking griddle
Feels like falling from the sky. I love what I'm falling from the sky. I love what we don't know However much
Well, we don't know the answer and we call a scene or like this will make this go away and then the scene
I call the scene. You know what it feels like emotionally
You know when you're like a kid and you're playing soccer and the soccer ball is wet and then someone kicks it and it hits you in the stomach.
No, that's what when we get out of a scene and we're in the middle of a riddle still feels like.
Aaron, are you okay?
No, I'm not. I keep playing soccer with the neighborhood kids and they keep kicking my ass, Adel.
Sounds like they're not playing right.
You should have picked them all.
Yeah, you know, that's soccer, right?
You pick the weakest one and you, I got to give him a
piece of my mind. So Suzy on the other hand takes a 10 minute break every hour in addition
to her lunch at the end of the month. Their supervisor praises Suzy for her productivity.
Why? So is break. So break has to mean something else. Is it like a circuit breaker or is
she like a karate expert and she's breaking boards or something? Great, great, great question.
But no, it's just a normal break. It's just a normal break.
She just decides that she's gonna take a 10 minute break.
She does work harder.
He works slow.
He is actually on the internet when he's supposed to be working.
No, they do pretty much the exact same.
They share their duties.
They do the exact same amount of work.
Yeah.
Except the only thing that's different is that Susie takes these breaks, but they both put in the same
I
Would say while they're working while there's not like break time
They both put in the exact same effort. Well when you're well rested things are better
So
Clucking out and the other guys Kevin's not like reporting his
Brakes to try and get over time and they calm him or something?
No, no, nothing happens on her break that makes it more productive. Yes. That is correct.
You're not in the sun.
What happens?
Excuse me. You are close.
You are, but yes, something happens on her breaks that makes her more productive.
You are, you are right.
You opens the window or something in the air makes their job better.
Get more eyes. What is it? You open the window or something in the air makes their job better. Gamma rays.
What is it?
Is it gamma rays?
Super seer would have it.
I just like a boss be like, who opened this window?
And someone's like, I did it.
It makes the job better.
And the boss is like, by God.
It does make the job better.
Um.
It, it, it, okay. It does make the job better.
Okay, so the specific job that they do matters a lot for this runner.
Yeah, but I have figured that out so I don't know.
I will say Aaron, I think there's been a lot of like
talk about like opening windows and going on the internet.
This is a job that you have to do outside.
There's, I don't think there's any way to do this job inside
roofing
landscaping it's landscaping of a sort. Oh
Not really gardening grave. Oh gravedick. What?
Gravedick.
I believe, Skaaper. Oh really? Where do you work cemetery?
Break Oh, I believe, Skaper. Oh, really? Where do you work? Cemetery. Break.
Um, soccer, soccer referee.
I would say I associate this kind of job or even this career with like the Pacific Northwest.
Fisherman.
Um, help.
Hippie.
I think that Adel would be very well suited to this job.
Lumberjack.
Yes.
Okay.
Why though?
Yeah, why though?
So break in Lumberjack terms means that's on the tree.
Aaron, you got it with something that Susie is doing on her break that Kevin is not doing.
And they are L lumberjacks.
I can put in their hands up putting their feet up on the tree to tip it over.
I don't know.
This one is hard.
Avoiding Timberwettel Singh.
Aaron thinks life is a cartoon.
They just like.
They put.
Oh, why can't I see your thoughts?
See the blue bloop Aaron sucks.
See, I can see it.
Aaron, to be fair, my thought is you as a turkey.
Yeah, Aaron, let's go away.
There's no way you can see what I'm thinking right now.
Talk about.
Uh, damn it.
Okay, their lumberjacks, and Susie uses her break
to hone her axe, tighten her the chainsaw chain, et cetera.
This makes her much more efficient in Kevin, whose tools are in terrible shape by the end of the day. The supervisor
saw that Susie had corded more wood and praised her. How was I ever supposed to do that?
That's not elementary. My dear Watson. I'm so tired. It takes off shoes. Aaron, no, Aaron, no. I can look up now.
No, no.
All right, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron.
Would it help?
Would it, Aaron, please?
Would it smoke it?
What did you learn from the computer?
What are you, a computer?
Yeah.
Would it help Aaron if we did one more riddle
that had like some math to it?
Yes, it would help.
That would help you.
Thank you.
This one's from Scott.
A painter is tasked with painting the doors to a new office building. That would help you. Thank you. This one's from Scott.
A painter is tasked with painting the doors to a new office building.
The office building has 100 doors.
He must paint each door with the number of its corresponding location.
I.E. he paints the first door with the number 1, the second door with the number 2, the
24th door with the number 24, etc.
How many times does the painter have to paint the number two, the 24th door with number 24, et cetera. How many times does the painter have to paint the number nine?
How many doors does he do altogether?
100.
Can we ask if he has to paint both sides of the door?
That's a really, really great question.
It's not a trick question in that regard.
He only has to paint one side of the door.
Because I know my door at home, I have the numbers on the inside in case I forget where
I live. So Aaron nine 19 29 39 49 49 69 29 99 99
that's 10 times that's a hundred and it was there's two hundred and eleven because 11 because 99 is two lines. The office building has 100 doors.
Aaron, you say 11?
Yeah.
I got one, two, three, four, five, six,
10, 29, 39, 49, 10, 11.
99 is two, nine.
99, 90.
Oh, you're right, yeah, 11.
Okay.
But then, it's a six or nine.
Oh, but six is nine.
Six is nine.
Yeah, six backwards is a nine.
For this riddle, let's assume that six or nine's only backwards or six is nine. Six is nine. Yeah, six backwards is a nine. For this word, let's assume that six
or nine's only nine's are nine's.
So you said, you said 11, you both said 11.
Yeah, that was a 10.
Well, I miss kind of, because I'm doing on one hand
and I mean, both hands to get higher than five.
You both, of course.
11 is wrong.
But this sucks then that it's not real.
Oh, is it like 12?
Because yes, you do like a practice.
Or it's because the building is nine or whatever,
the outside.
No, it's not because the building is nine
and it's not because of practice.
Is it zero times?
Because he's using like a different numerical system.
I will say, it's more than 11.
11 is a good starting guess, but it's more than that.
What?
Yeah.
No, though. No, but it's more than that. What yeah, no though. No, but yeah, yes
No though. Erie yes, no though
Okay
I want to see another scene. No, yes, I have to see
You and Adel are painting numbers on doors in a building and
Aaron you go up to Adel because you've ran out of sixes.
Hey, I don't have any more twos. No, no, no, no, I know and I know. I know. Here's the thing. I get it.
I'm always knocking on your door for something. If I run out of ketchup, I go to your house. If I
need money, I go to your house. If I miss you, I go to your house. But this time is serious. I've
run out of the sick. I run out of sick, I run out of sick.
Okay, Jesse, really the ketchup's fine,
seeing me as fine, the money's the real issue.
But also, I can't just, if I keep giving you numbers,
you're not gonna learn how to sort of, you know,
make the most of the numbers you have.
You keep sort of squandering the numbers.
Can I borrow your coat?
Yeah, absolutely.
What are you doing with your numbers
that you have to keep borrowing mine?
Nothing.
Also, you're not borrowing because you're not giving them back,
right?
You don't have any intent.
No, no, no, no, I'll give them back.
Why are you looking anywhere but at me?
I'll take 11, sixes to go.
I'm not a driver.
I'm not a driver window. This happens every time. Here, here, fine.
Hey, Jesse, here.
Here's two sixes.
Is that enough?
Is that enough?
How many do you need?
11?
Here you go.
Here's 11 sixes.
I'll just, ah.
Did JPC hope we would find the answer inside the scene?
Well, Jesse Randy, it's been a long month,
and you've been painting numbers on my building all month long. You both have worked very hard. we would find the answer inside the scene. Well, Jesse Randy, it's been a long month
and you've been painting numbers on my building
all month long.
You both have worked very hard,
but I have to give special shout out to one of you
who went above and beyond.
I told you we should have kept taking breaks
to hold our chainsaws.
Jesse, great job.
You did a great job painting, especially on those twos and sixes. Those twos and sixes were excellent. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I quit. I didn't really think that would happen.
Fuck!
Oh, no! Who's gonna paint my building?
Shit, shit, shit!
Taco Bell, dong, a little too long.
I'll show it up in a hard hat.
What is the answer, JPC? I'm never gonna get this.
Yeah, I don't understand.
Oh, the floor numbers.
No, it's not the floor numbers.
You want me to give you the answer? Yeah. Okay, you
were right with 919 29 39 49 59 16 and 79 and 89 and Aaron, you were correct that 99 has
two 90s. The 90s. All the 90s. Wow. We were, oh my god, I can't believe I did that. I feel
so stupid. We have been recording for six hours and I had listened to us for three hours before that
I am so sorry everybody. I'm the most embarrassed I've ever been at getting a riddle wrong. Let's
delete that and Aaron let's take it clean. Oh, it's um, give us some time. Eric, we have been recording today for three hours.
It's been a minute.
No, 18 hours.
Anyone else you know you?
Carry the one.
I'm wearing the one.
Wow, that's a good one because you don't even.
I'm six, seven, eight.
You know what I think of the 90s as like a number.
This is all born.
Post 2000.
This is public humiliation within this. This is what the show is. You bring me out to the middle of everybody and you
go, look how dumb she is. Look at her. Look at how stupid she is. She brought a dumb friend
with her. Let's put them in the barracks. Not the one. Orman puzzles haven't really gone to people's heads. It's fucked you.
You used to be kind and cool, JP.
There's nine more.
It's 9 plus 11 is 20.
That's not right.
He's fooling us.
That's not right.
It's got to be 28.
I give up.
It's 20.
It's 20.
The answer's 20.
Let's go break.
Let's go to break.
That's so funny.
Aaron, let's not come back. Let's not go break. That's so funny. Aaron, let's not come back.
Let's not go back.
Hey, Alan, do you want to see me?
Aaron, I got a bone to pick.
Did you just forget my name?
I'm going to pick with you.
Are you okay?
You know how you told me that those ladies who line up a radio city music hall and kick how they're very humorous?
I went to that website and it was nothing.
Adel, you went to Rocket Funny.
We told you go to Rocket Money.
It's a personal finance app that helps you find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions,
helps you monitor your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place.
I've been using it for years, way before they were a sponsor of this podcast, and I couldn't
love it more.
Wait, wait, wait, didn't he say Adel Aaron in JPC?
Like, was he said he was talking to, who is he?
Hey man, hey, let it go.
How did you get behind me?
What's going on?
I'm behind you to tell you that with over 5 million users and counting, rocket money
has helped save its customers an average of $720 a year and a billion dollars in total
savings so far.
In JPC, I know that you're a very budget conscious man.
And most people think they're paying like $80 a month on their subscriptions, but they're
actually probably paying closer to about 200.
And that's why Rocket Money gets rid of that whole headache.
It saves you so much time and money.
They do it for you.
It's the best.
I actually had someone reach out and they said,
you know, they do these Rocket Money ads,
but like, why, JP, see, he's like a budget guy.
Why is he like doing a Rocket Money ad?
Shouldn't he just know how to do this?
Guys, the fact that Rocket Money exists is why I know how to budget. You got to use the tools. The tools are
there to help you. Rocket money lets you monitor all your expenses in one place. It recommends
custom budgets based on your past spending and they'll even send you notifications when
you've reached your spending limits. Automate as much as you can. There's no reason to
take a pin and a paper and be right now every expense that you know, it's not the 1910s anymore. You need a balance of checkbook. You gotta use Rocket Money. It's so pretty and it helps you color code things and it always helps me with my taxes.
So stop wasting money on things you don't use.

JPC, can I have your help with something?
Yes, Aaron, but I do have to tell you
before I begin helping you, just like kind of a general
disclaimer for me that this podcast is brought to you
by Squarespace.
That's just something I have to tell everyone
when I move into the neighborhood.
This is actually perfect timing
because I'm making a fan website for Adel
because I'm his number one fan.
So I was thinking and he needs to cool down.
No, because he's a comedian.
He needs to be the name of a fan.
The other kind of fan, yes.
I want to set up custom merch
and create a passive income stream
that engages my audience and scales my brand so I can
Design my products on the website and the production inventory and shipping are all handled for you

Adel, your website is set up one last thing.
It, I know it's a fan website.
Do we want to put one of those like visitor counters on it
so we can like track how many people are coming
or don't, don't.
No, I think I'll just hurt my feelings.
It's gonna be way too many people.
It's gonna freak them out.
How was it negative?
How's the good doubt?
I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I?

That was like two months ago.
You still talking about this?
I can't, it's, I can't sleep at night. It's, night. I just can't remember before it's mud, it was something else. It's like
before a party. No, it's like dirt, but when water hits this thing, it turns into mud. It's like
a party steam. Yes, but also. It starts with the sand. sand, sand. I figured that out because sand is here.
So I just assumed.
Oh, sandy.
Oh, sorry, I was sorry, I had a flashback.
I'm, you've been here for a while.
Hey guys, nice to see you all.
Woohoo!
Hi, woo!
Woo!
I don't know if you guys saw the sign.
This is a nude beach now.
Oh!
Oh!
Cool!
But I didn't see the sign, Sandy,
but I didn't catch a vibe just before you're dressed.
Sorry, more or not.
Yeah.
That's OK.
I'll let it pass this time, but next time.
OK.
Cool.
What are we doing here?
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
Wow.
Trying to silence Sandy's nipples.
Interesting.
Sandy, do you and your loud nipples have any puzzles for us to do today?
Yeah.
I came with some puzzles, which is, I believe my job.
Well, you know, a few, a few times ago, last, uh, whatever it was, I brought you
some idiomatic origins.
We're going to do that little of those again, just to recap.
Just to recap what those are.
I'm going to give you a little story about how we've established some idioms in
English, the origin stories behind them.
You're going to tell me what the idiom is.
And as always, the disclaimer with these is, I don't know if they're true.
Sure.
Don't at me.
Right.
Yeah.
Sandy, if I may, they're old wives' tails.
Sorry.
You can be old wives' tails.
Sorry.
Yeah.
So, for example, if I said, in the old West, stage coaches and wagons were often targeted by robbers,
so some precaution had to be taken.
That leads us to the phrase, circle the wagons.
Put your pinkerton on top.
Hold your horses.
All of those are very good phrases,
but that's not exactly what we're talking about.
We're talking about what they, someone with a particular
weapon might, where they might sit. Oh, they might sit in the shotgun. Oh, I'm writing shotgun.
Oh, I do believe that one is true. But for the rest of these no promises. All right, so going forward,
in ancient Greece, votes were cast by putting colored objects in clay jars.
And if something in particular happened, it would reveal the votes prematurely.
What led to what?
Expression.
I just want to say that idiom happens to all people.
It happens to everyone.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not unique.
These jars were filled with little objects.
Okay,
specifically, be correct. Correct. Don't count your beans
before they hatch. Be touch. Be touch. Beats. Be up dragons.
Don't count your beans. Don't count your dragons before they hatch.
Just imagine them. Yes. Um, now you're right there. So what
happens to these jars? If being close, if yes, not only close, it's on the money.
Don't spill the beans.
There you go.
Don't spill the beans.
There you go.
But if you were to make this phrase,
you would call it something else.
What would you say, Adel?
Don't count your beans before the hatch.
Don't count your beans before the hatch.
But if it's from Greece, it would be more like,
don't count your beans for the ass. But if it's from Greece, it would be more like don't count your beans before the head.
I don't have way better coffee than me this morning.
What did you have?
I want what you're having.
Jamison.
Oh, okay.
Yes, James in the morning coffee.
Are you ready for another one?
Yes.
Printing press types at us had to arrange the letters backwards.
You know, sure.
Yeah, but this led to a particularly frequent mistake. What
did it lead to and what expression do we take from it? Wow. So think about think about two
letters that might look the same if you flip them. M in W. Yeah, M in W. Well, that's not backwards.
D in B. Oh, R and in. and as the backwards are.
I'm staring down on my keyboard being like, that's because it's B.
L is backwards L. We can all agree. L's a backwards L and that lets it leads us to the phrase,
don't confuse your L's with your L's.
Well, can we all let's all agree that a P is a B trying to impress its friends
with a headstand.
Yes.
But this is, no, I think it's the other way around.
I think JPC hasn't.
Yeah, this is Mind You Peace and Cues.
This is why we don't call you JQC.
Ooh, I like JQC.
That sounds like an agent.
That sounds like an agent.
That makes me sound like I got a big ass butt.
My alter ego, once I hit the gym and I get my big butt, it's going to be called JQC.
JQC is for JQC.
And squats. Sir, you have to be called JQC. JQC is for juicy. And squats.
Sir, you have to leave planet fitness right now.
Because it's perfect.
You got it perfect.
You got to go to country fitness.
Well done, JPC.
It is my KPs and cues which look the same when you flip them backwards.
Wow.
All right.
What about if you have a poorly made or, let's say, worn out tool, sometimes
the blade and the other piece it's attached to would separate during use, which leads
to this expression about getting very upset.
Don't cut your mom with a butter knife. This is rake.
Error is looking at her yard.
Close you.
rake.
Is it like a weapon?
Yeah, it's like a weapon.
Acts, I have an axe to grind.
Wow, axe to grind.
We're very, very the hatchet.
Very the hatchet.
Both of those are acts related idioms, not the ones I'm looking for.
That's why I'll just cross those off the list for the next few.
No, you fool.
Give us the ax.
Give me, give the ax.
Give us the ax.
So it's in the ax.
An ax to grind is if you have a grudge, and the other one you said was,
bury the hashet, which is called piece or truce.
Right, but what if it's you're really angered?
Before all that happens, your tool if it's you're really anger before all that happens your
Tools separate you're still angry
ax to grind
They separated oh
Divorced my swords are divorced divorce swords
Split split hairs. We're splitting hairs. You'll visit your blade on the weekends
I'm
Ripped my axe apart and then I say you're on a razor's edge
You flung the axe my I flew off the handle. Yes, you did
I thought that was about witches. I thought it was when witches got drunk and drove and
I don't know
Sorry, I thought it was about witches I don't know if I did that.
Sorry, Adel, you thought it was about witches? Like if they flew up the handles with their frills.
Oh, like they're flying around and then they slip.
Like a witch is like doing donuts.
Like it witches like in a cloud doing donuts
and then she flies off the handle.
I don't think it'll ever room.
If they slip, I think it would be,
if they like broke too early.
Like I don't know what the brakes are on the broom because if they slip, they're it would be, if they, if they like broke too early, like, I don't know
where the brakes are on the broom because if they're just going off the side, but if they
break, they're flying off the handle.
Hold on, you don't know where the brakes are on the broom.
J.B.
The bristles.
Are you, Aaron, Aaron back me up.
I don't know if I can.
That's the most honest thing that's ever been said on this podcast.
I don't want to think about the splinter situation.
If you break through suit on a broom, it's why off the handle.
That sounds terrible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's when we get the expression dead witch.
Splinter crotch.
Dead witch.
That's right.
That's right.
Thank you.
Don't get your splinters in a crotch.
Definitely wear a helmet if you're a witch, right?
I mean, I don't have ever seen a witch in popular media wearing a helmet.
And I don't understand why.
That's because I have those inflatable,
instant inflatable helmets, you know,
they seem to be like the,
yeah, the poofy park comes out of the collar
as soon as you hit the accelerometer hits.
To those work, to those work,
seeing a DB on it.
I've never seen a witch, an injured witch,
so they must.
In point.
Yeah, and I've got this tiger repellent,
you don't see tigers around me.
Do you, JP?
You must be working.
I honestly thought you were a posit because you saw a tiger.
Well, Jemma did spend some time at Princeton.
All right.
I think you all know this one.
I think this is well known by now.
In an episode of Happy Days, Fonz.
You go. Jocelyn Wad. That an episode. In an episode of Happy Days, Fanzi Go, that's right.
Jumped out there.
You wanna tell me?
Hey, you jump finished the story.
And they elbow the jukebox and I break my elbow.
I say, jump the shack.
Don't jump the shack.
Yeah, there's an episode where a shark jumped over them
or something and then everyone was like,
this is stupid.
No, he did motorcycle stunts and he did
a motorcycle over like a shark.
That's right, Jabberjah.
Right.
Cross over.
Antibarbara crossover.
And what was it?
Is it right?
It was because the show was bad at that point or...
Yeah, it was like that's when it turned.
That's what it turned out.
Oh, bad episode was a turning point, yeah.
Got it.
There was a crossword clue recently where it was like a...
In some crossword I was doing, there was an insult coined by by the funds on happy days
And it was like sit on it which I guess at the time was a really raunchy thing to say anyway
I don't think that's lasted. I do think that sit on it is familiar to me as a funds
As a funds line of dialogue have you ever tried that one out?
No, but I have said and I think it's from welcome back catter
I have said up your nose
of the rubber hose before because I think that was still very fun to say.
I'm just realizing the Fons and Danny Zuko are very similar.
Marketing.
Hey, how much does it suck for Henry Winkler, who by the way, went on to have a great career,
a fantastic, a fantastic actor, to have that whole phrase jump the shark be associated
with, you know with just your show
and the thing that you did on that show.
That's awful.
I don't think he feels too responsible for it.
Someone told him to jump a shark and he did it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's what the phrase save the whales
comes from when Star Trek started to be bad.
Huh.
The movie number four.
Oh yeah.
I discovered the movie. Yeah, I thought the movie was good too. Oh, yeah, I discovered country
Yeah, I thought the movie was good too. I'm just nice it start saving whales I have a photo. Oh, yeah, hold on. I also don't think that people say save the whales
So now I'm putting together that that may have been a joke because I've never heard someone say save the whales was a campaign
Was it the cat? I have a great photograph of my grandmother standing with Henry Binkler like 20 30 years ago
Yeah, I should find that photo.
Do you know, do you know the context for why it was taken? I know. Why don't you tell me what you
think that context was and we'll just bake that cannon. Well, I said, I gotta say you look a lot
like get away. Winkly. She came up to you and was like rubbing Schmutz off his face. It was
probably some function in Indianapolis and he was. And he was the person of honor.
And she's like, I need a picture of you.
And now I have it.
And now it's mine.
And I can still, it's my cash I favor.
I have to go find Henry in a crowd.
And you can sell that to whoever you want to.
Okay, so it's at PZLR, if you want to make a bid
on that photo of Sandy's grandma and Henry Winkler.
If you're Henry Winkler, I'll give it to you for half price.
And I gotta say, that's incredible.
I gotta say, I am also selling some merch.
I had just some funny drawings of Aaron and stuff.
And that is at on Twitter, it's at JQ Soflai.
I believe.
So for that, you want some more?
Yes.
Yes, please.
If an unwanted guest came to dinner, you could give them an unappealing cut of meat in
the hopes they would leave and not attend in the future.
That leads to the phrase, Sydney Portier. Guess who's eating shittiness?
Give Lisa the tuna.
That what it is?
That's a thing.
I mean, if that's the thing you say.
Yeah, I say that all the time when I don't want something in my party, I go give Lisa the tuna.
Yeah, he's not here.
You don't like tuna?
I do, but it's not everybody's cup of fish.
It's kind of strong smell.
Aaron, you have my coffee.
I'm on a roll over here.
What's up?
So what's some cuts of meat?
Start there.
Rips, the butt, the burnt ends, the belly, the back, the...
My head's not the crack.
The ribs.
My neck. I'm sorry, he's a belly back. My ribs and my back. the crack
My neck I'm sorry. He's a daily back my ribs and my back
Give someone the meat the rib of animals it from the humps. I would say off a pork
Before pork
There you go Give them the cold shoulder
There you go. You give them a cold shoulder.
Wow.
I got it.
But it's nothing like giving them Lisa's tuna or giving Lisa the tuna.
I prefer giving Lisa the tuna.
Give Lisa the tuna.
My favorite phrase has ever been on the show.
It's been a while since I've been a meat guy, but why is the shoulder cold?
Like, is it cold?
No, it's because it's cold that you've given it
to the person you don't like and.
Got it.
Yeah.
I didn't know if there was something about cooking pig
that like, we can't ever get the shoulder very hot.
So if you're eating pig, you're eating cold shoulder.
It's not awesome.
Oh, go ahead.
I was just saying only Lisa eats it cold.
Yes, of course.
Well, Lisa, fuck Lisa.
Yeah.
Do we also get the phrase living high on the hog from that?
Because it's like the higher up
the cut of meats, the more sort of wealthy you were.
I'm sorry, I know.
I know nothing about any phrases,
except for the ones that I brought to the show.
I cannot get any information.
And I believe that one is about how witches write rooms.
That's right.
Get off your high horse and write a broom.
Yeah, I've got your little crotch hairs.
Uh huh. Okay. How about this one? That's right. Get off your high horse and write a broom. Yeah, I've got your crotch hairs.
How about this one? In the 19th century, American boys would dare each other to knock an object
off of themselves in order to initiate a fight. And where that object is is relevant. Knock your block off. Is it knock your block off?
Knock your cock off.
Knock your cock off the block.
I'm gonna knock your cock off my block.
I'm still Jenny from the cock.
Um, crotch.
Shoulder.
Shoulder.
And what's another phrase?
Chip off your shoulder.
Chip off your shoulder.
Chip on your shoulder.
Yeah.
Chip on your shoulder.
Again, what?
I've never heard that.
I've only ever heard Chip off your shoulder.
What do you mean?
Yeah, you're thinking chip off the old block ship off the old block off my shoulder
And get me and and serve it cold to Lisa. Yeah, what are you talking?
You know that phrase like you got a chip on your shoulder. You're holding a grudge. You want to pick a fight That's what in the of this thing, would they would put a chip on their shoulder? To her to you. Like a, like a, like a, like a, like a Tostita. Yeah.
You put your shoulder and then you're ready to fight. Like a one chip.
Yeah. GPC a fight between men. Hello.
Who think that's the most salsa? I do think now I want to start like a party game where
like people put like Tostita's on their shoulders and have to wrestle and you're living.
Yeah. I think I think we're, if we're,
let's be real.
If we're being logical,
I think Pringles probably rest easiest on the shoulder.
On the shoulder?
Yeah.
I think a Tostita scoop
with rest pretty easy on my shoulder.
You have fucked up little shoulders.
What do you got over there?
I think a chocolate chip might rest the best.
Ooh.
Cause it's kind of flat surface.
And then it's got, well, yeah, melts on your head.
No way. Sandy's just trying to melt chocolate on got it well. Yeah, Milton. No way.
Sandy's just trying to melt chocolate on his naked body. Don't fall for this guys. I've fallen for this man.
He times before.
So speaking about, well, chocolate chips and nipples.
That's all.
What is this?
You have Sandy the two.
And Sandy just hearing off into the distance.
I wait. Now let's do things together. I just said it. Here the distance. I'm right now. We're going to have to do things together now.
I just said it.
Here we are.
It's just sitting there.
Great.
Now I'm going to chocolate chip nipples.
All right.
According to what I read, a tie, kings of Thailand would give certain animals as gifts to people
they didn't like.
They were costly in time consuming to care for, making them more of a burden than a
present which leads us to this phrase that we use today, Beast of Birdon.
Wow, that's good.
Don't look the gift horse in the mouth.
Don't put a chip in the gift's horse.
Thanks a lot for the fucking camel, Tukin' Kuman.
Tukin' Kuman!
Thanks a lot for the fucking camel.
Uh, more, uh, not worth it.
It's also lent its name to a game of sorts.
Party.
Where's you?
Parties cat.
Which has to do with birdie some gifts that you don't necessarily want.
Parties in a pear tree.
Uh, something about black sheep.
Um, white elephant.
You got it.
It's right there. Elephant. White elephant. White elephant game You got it. It's right there.
White elephant.
White elephant game.
That's the game where you give away gifts that you don't want
and you trade and try to burden your friends with the shit
that you got trying to get rid of.
Anyway, it comes from the story of giving away white elephants
which are very burdensome to take care of.
Right out.
That's what I've heard.
Sandy, let's do one more.
One more.
And it is this.
A former prime minister named Robert Cecil was famous for appointing his family members
to positions, making their lives much easier.
And that leads us to the phrase that you probably don't use that much, but I bet you've heard.
Robert rules.
Because he gave me this awesome job.
Robert rules of order.
Yeah.
It ain't nepotism if it's me.
Uh, family.
It's a phrase in the family.
Pretty British.
It's pretty British.
It has to do with his name.
His name is Robert.
And Bob's your uncle.
That's it?
Bob's your uncle.
So people would be, so somebody would be like,
Oh, sorry, I need the room and they're like, Bob's your uncle. Like, we be around. So somebody would be like, oh, sorry,
I need the room and they're like,
Bob's your uncle.
Like, we know.
I think it's more like at this job.
Just walk in there and Bob's your uncle.
Like, as I understand it to me,
things are gonna be easy, they're on out.
Oh, okay.
And Cindy, before we go, could you just say,
Bob's your uncle and like a fun,
Bob is my kid's uncle.
So Bob's the uncle. like a fun. Well, Bob is my kid's uncle, so. Wow. Bob's the uncle.
Second.
Yeah.
Because you have a brother whose name is Bob,
who recently you shared a screenshot that you said
from a text, that you're a little celebrity now
because they were talking to a person,
and the person was telling about this puzzle podcast,
and they got to drop that you were related to them.
Yeah, my brother's roommate was like, oh, I was listening to this puzzle podcast and they got to drop that you were related to them. Yeah, my, my brother's roommate was like, oh, I was listening to this, this, um, puzzle
podcast. I heard this guy on his name was Sandy and my brother had to be like, yeah,
that's my brother. He didn't sound proud. That was my interpretation. He probably was
much more generous than I'm giving him credit for. Also, why would he be proud? That's,
that to be his more than suspect. Well, it's time to give giving him credit for. Also, why would he be proud? That's that to be his board of suspects.
Well, it's time to give the plugs to Lisa. Lisa, do you have anything to plug?
You talking to me? Yeah. Wow. Is that where we get that phrase?
When someone calls you Lisa, you're supposed to respond to me. I don't know if you do that part.
Yeah. So if you want more puzzles in your life, you should go to signals.fun.
That's my newsletter and community and patron service.
I've got a newsletter that comes out
and also a discord that you can join for a little bit of scratch.
I'm also on Instagram doing prompt man toes.
I'm mystery league, M- T E R Y LEAGE
on Instagram also on threads. These prompt man toes are where I put two phrases, make a portman toe
and move them into mid-journey, which is a AIR generating system. And then I post that picture
and you have to guess what the what the portman toe is. So for example, more a recent one that I did was took a picture of
Buddy Holly as portrayed by Lisa Frank, which makes it gives you Buddy Holly, Lisa Frank.
And it was really, really amazing. And you had to guess that that was what the answer was.
Anyway, and then you guess and then I give make renders out of the guesses. So that's a lot of fun.
That's it. mystery league on Instagram.
Hell yeah. Give the buddy Holly Toulisa.
And I gotta say mid-journey,
I would have to guess mid-journey would be like,
took the midnight train going anywhere.
You think that's the most made journey?
I was gonna be their best song.
Just that lyric.
Just that lyric.
That's the lyric.
That's the specific destination.
Come on.

we got a sandbox with your name on it.
