Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. I got a riddle order for an adult riddle for adult. We actually think that at the same time. So mine should also, I was ahead of him. So mine should be ready as. Yes sir, just give us one second. You ordered the hay? Yeah. And he had the two riddles?
Starting point is 00:00:53 We were gonna split one of the riddles, but he paid for the second. This is a really long story. I just have tried to get through the day. So you split the riddles back there so we don't have to. Which way? Lengthwise or horizontal or vertical? Dealer's choice. We'll put the riddles back there so we don't have to. Ah. Which way? Lengthwise or horizontal or vertical?
Starting point is 00:01:08 Dealer's choice. No, it sort of changes that. Don't change that. Because if you want it this way, then it's like riddle, and if you want it the other way, then it's just parts of letters. You care?
Starting point is 00:01:18 I guess, well, split it lengthwise. Can I just give you a night when you do it yourself? We're both gonna split it, should I get a say? I mean, I didn't pay for it, but I'm not sure if there's a rule that says the person that didn't pay for it. Look at the sign. Can we talk to your manager?
Starting point is 00:01:29 The rule that the person you're paying for didn't pay for it. You are exasperated. Yeah, I work at a fucking Riddles store, this is awful. My life is hell. We wanna talk to the manager to be clear, to give you a break, because it seems like maybe you're being mistreated.
Starting point is 00:01:41 I'm the manager, and none of my employees come in every day. I have no break, my life sucks, my job sucks. Oh, you're the manager? Well then fuck you, you're part of the problem. We're being mistreated. I'm the manager and none of my employees come in every day. I have no break. My life sucks. Oh, you're the manager? My job sucks. Well then fuck you. You're part of the problem. We're with the employees.
Starting point is 00:01:49 All right. Down with management. I'm just gonna cut your riddle in half. Oh, looks like your hay is ready. Here's your rental riddle and here is your hay. Go ahead and get started. Do you need any condiments? There's tomato on this.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I wanted no tomato. Do I accept a tip? Am I going to accept a tip from you? Can you accept a tip legally? Yes. Okay, we're secret shoppers. That's not a tip. Oh, okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:12 I thought it might be. And you wanted no tomato? Yeah. No. Well, I think this is. No. I think this is enough for a podcast. Okay, great. Great.
Starting point is 00:02:22 So we can start it? All right, then go ahead. Okay, great. Well, this is enough for a podcast. OK, great. Great. So we can start it? All right, then go ahead. Yeah. OK, great. Well, this is a woman on fire. This is Hey Riddleriddle with Tomato. Now with more tomato than ever. I'm JPC. That's Addle over there. And I'm looking at Erin right across the room for me
Starting point is 00:02:37 because we're recording in person. And? And we also have a special guest in studio. And I do mean that in studio because we're recording these in a studio Which is absolutely wild for us. It's Vic McHale is Vic It's one of those things where I really do think of like any kind of a compliment or something like that is flying your way Grab it life is hard. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:03:01 The claps will sweeten that and I had to say industry terms because that's one of my favorite industry terms Is that an industry term sweeten? So it's like if there's a stand-up special or something They will sweeten it meaning they add more robust laughs to make it sound like a hit harder That is heartbreaking. Yeah Yeah, that's really Just I shouldn't have said Bo Burnham. I actually like Bo Burnham and stuff,
Starting point is 00:03:28 so I shouldn't have said Bo Burnham. I should tell him to say. Could be. Nice to know that even the people on top need a little sometimes, you know what I mean? Yeah. Is that a Raptors hat you're wearing? Oh yeah, this is a Toronto Raptors hat.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Come on, there we go. Now be entering. Toronto in the house. I love it, and it's working. Toronto Zone. Yeah, Toronto Zone. I'm begging to be Toronto Zone. I'm trying hard. I left and they said, get out of here and don't ever come back.
Starting point is 00:03:49 And so I really am at every single turn, I'm going and this is a product of Toronto in the hopes that I will be invited back. They're gonna be proud of you. They're gonna give you the key to the city. Do you think? I really do. I don't even need a key to the city.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I'll clean the lock. You know? Clean the lock. Clean the lock. Vic, we do have to ask you, legally, really do. I don't even need a key to the city. I'll clean the lock. Vic, we do have to ask you legally two things. One, how do you feel about Drake? Bad. Yeah. Great.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Okay. Well, but how do you feel about the weekend? Worse. I shouldn't say this. I like, well, I am. So it's a. But you shouldn't. So everyone listening know that Vic should not be saying this.
Starting point is 00:04:25 I did, like, I did a lot of brand ambassadoring work, a lot of promo work in Toronto. That's how I... It was a really great deal, especially. And I did it in Vancouver and LA when I got here. It's really great, because, you know, especially doing improv, it leaves a lot of your time free and it pays pretty well. But I ended up at some parties with Drake in the weekend before, especially the weekend
Starting point is 00:04:49 was like the weekend. This is back when he was like Thursday. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Weekend jokes. And I just say fine. Fine to not super impressed. I love it. I only know what I've heard from Kendrick Lamar
Starting point is 00:05:04 and it's not good Glowing that's not the wraps that's Kendrick is a friend of Adel Buddy Kendrick Lamar my brother actually be really nice I just feel like working in service you get to sort of like see sides of people that maybe you don't ordinarily and I just Felt fine. I was just like, okay I don't think people show a different side of service. I don't think the little improv scene we did at the top shows anything about our personalities at all. Yeah, well not you guys.
Starting point is 00:05:31 That's not our friend. Thank you. But speaking of cool hats, you have a Huntington Garden hat on. Thank you. Which is my favorite place in the world, maybe. Is it? We should go.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Yeah, we should go. I would love that. That would be so nice. What's your favorite garden there? Where's Huntington Garden? Yeah, Huntington Garden is in Pasadena, the most beautiful place on the planet. I think that's growing up too is at first you're like,
Starting point is 00:05:48 oh, I wanna live in Hollywood, and then you grow up and you go, no, no, no, I wanna live in Pasadena. That's where the father of the bride house is. Is that true? Yes, sometimes I just go and I visit it. They know my car, I go and park outside. No, I think that's good. And I might.
Starting point is 00:06:00 This is gonna go for a while. And I might. Maybe they move because they see somebody stalking the house and then it goes for a really low price and then we can get it together. Okay, let's do it. Come on, the internet would love it. We lived with the father of the bright house.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Well, we'd appreciate it. I feel like the people that live there maybe aren't appreciating it the way that we would. But you would depreciate the value of the house by being stalkers of the house as well. Well, exactly. That's part of the plan, it's part of the game. That's how you get a house in LA, honestly.
Starting point is 00:06:22 If big businesses are allowed to do that, which I feel like they do. They do. I think we're allowed to do that for the greater good. I completely agree. But your favorite garden at the Huntington? I like the bonsai tree area. I can just walk around there forever.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I also didn't realize that bonsai was like a style of design and anything can be a bonsai tree. Really? Don't quote me on that, I am just saying that. I believe so. And they have a ton. This is the second thing that you've said that you are not supposed to say on the show. Now I'm worried.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Are you at all concerned? Now I'm a little worried. So I'm just saying everything I say is the, uh, is completely what my employers think also. It is the bonsai trees or anything. It's just about the design. Vic, I'm seeing why you were a brand ambassador. Cause I feel like if I saw you on TV and you're
Starting point is 00:07:04 like, Tim Hortons, gotta drink it. I'd feel like if I saw you on TV and you're like, Tim Hortons, gotta drink it. I'd be like, that makes sense. Thank you for saying that Tim, if you're listening, I'm begging. I'm begging. Titch your Tim Hortons. And we'll sweeten that coffee.
Starting point is 00:07:14 You were also saying before we started recording that you don't do podcasts or that you don't do a podcast yourself. But I would say that people could check you out on Friend of the Mandog podcast because every time you go on that show, you are very, very funny. Oh, that means a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yeah, I mean, like I love Ryan and Dan, they're the best. And yeah, that pod is so fun to do. I really like guesting on podcasts. The idea of hosting or having a podcast feels daunting and paralyzing. Yeah. Always a guest, never a host. In a good way. Yeah, in a good way.
Starting point is 00:07:44 In a good way, in a good way. No, that's good. Adel, you were gonna ask Vic a second question. A second question is. You got the first one out, yes. Yes, thank you. What is your relationship with riddles? Do you like escape rooms, puzzles, crosswords?
Starting point is 00:07:55 I love escape rooms, and I've done hundreds of escape rooms. I really, really love escape rooms. I like riddles. My family's the type where if we're in line at a theme park, we're theme park people, we'll just pull out. I like riddles. My family's the type where if we're in line at a theme park, we're theme park people, we'll just pull out a list of riddles to do. We warm up for escape rooms with different types of puzzles or little games that are gonna help us warm up.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Is this- Do you have a sister or brother I could marry? I do, actually. What's your flavor? What are you into? I got two sisters, two brothers. Oh my God. Wow, that's a big family.
Starting point is 00:08:24 All right, well whatever. Assess God. That's a big family. All right, well whatever. Assess my vibe in this episode and then send me up. Erin, you usually go for dads. I know, but I'm trying to get off the stuff. Okay. I've been bad. I'm taking a couple months break from dad.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Okay, great. So that means that near the end of the episode, we're all gonna try to guess birth order based on what we know about how you are personality wise from the episode. Oh I love that I'm so curious what we're gonna come up with. Have fun. Yeah I love that I love that yeah so love escape rooms and desperate I'm the type of person that I'm desperately trying to get people to do escape rooms with me at all times there's some especially in LA some fantastic ones in Toronto I was really lucky real
Starting point is 00:09:02 escape games came out there it was like I think they were in San Francisco, and then they originated in Japan, and then there was a hub in Toronto. Oh. Which was like the original escape room, the one where you could like, maybe a mild spoiler, you can like tear furniture apart and stuff like that, and there's like pieces of stuff
Starting point is 00:09:18 and furniture, they're incredible. That's every escape room. For those listening, that's every escape room. No, it is not. Mostly you're not allowed to- For those listening, that's every, we're trying to get people kicked out of escape room Oh, I see that's one of the big big term long term goals of the podcast to do. We not like escape rooms here We just don't like our
Starting point is 00:09:34 Love I've done like a hundred. I've probably done like 80 and one of my favorite The guy was like, please, I've only done like 20 less than the insane number that you did. Have you done the hatch rooms out here? Like Lab Rat or anything like that? Yes, I've done Lab Rat. I was going to do the ladder, which I heard is incredible, and that you can do it multiple times. A friend of the show, Sandy Weiss,
Starting point is 00:09:57 did it maybe like a play test or something, because he does this, he creates escape rooms. Well, and that one I think is the one where, it's purposefully you can go back and do that one a couple of times. Yes, yeah. It's like your information carries over and you're trying to go throughout the decades, maybe 50s to 2020s or something.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Unreal. We're, Aaron and I are going. JPC did not want to go. Well, he also has family. JPC has a baby. We're going to do the Ministry of Peculiarities. Oh, yeah. I've heard good things about that one.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Which we thought is really good. I feel like post things opening up post lockdown, I haven't been to as many escape rooms. I do a lot of them. My family is in Orlando, so we've done basically every escape room in Orlando. But out here, I feel like there's some new ones that have popped up.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I've done all of the ones over at the basement, which are spooky games, if that's your thing. The elevator one is incredible. Elevator's incredible. Water starts to rise out of the floor. That's scary. Have you done Stash House? Yes, I did Stash House, which I really, really loved.
Starting point is 00:10:50 The one I really wanna do still is the Hex that's out in, I believe, Anaheim. Okay. So there's like a couple more. I mean, like, we've done all the 69 ones, done all the quest rooms. Weeping Witch? No.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I think that's at the same place as Hex. It's supposed to be the scariest, one of the scariest rooms you could ever do. There's Hex. Hell no. No. You'll never get Erin to go now, but you could have tricked her. The basement is one that if you are like,
Starting point is 00:11:14 like the idea of scary, but don't want it to feel too, too scary is one. I think like the basement original is a good one. Cause there's like, I believe they filled that room. I mean, there's strangers in the room too, which is like not totally ideal. Or you could pad it with all of your friends, but you can go with like what,
Starting point is 00:11:27 like 10, 12 people or something like that. So that one, I think the amount of people makes it feel a little less spooky. Was it LA where we did that escape room where they asked if anyone in our party was like comfortable with someone being in their face and I was like, I'll do it. And was that, and the guy with the chainsaw like came at me? Yes. Yeah. And I was like, I'll do it. And was that in the guy with the chainsaw came at me?
Starting point is 00:11:46 Yes. And I was like, I guess I'm not really comfortable with this, am I? I love this. I guess I'm not the guy I thought I was. I guess I'm not the hero from all those story books. We did two in that place and one of them was, we, it's like an Egyptian themed or something
Starting point is 00:12:01 and at the end we're stuck with this statue and we're like, what the fuck do we do? And then we're kind of looking at the cameras, and we're like, okay. The quest room one. Someone stop us. And we're like, what do we do? And then we just finally smash it,
Starting point is 00:12:14 and we were supposed to smash it, but at the time it feels. No, no, no, no, no. No, please. No, no, no, no, no, that'll, that'll work. You can break anything in the escape room. They're not gonna stop you from doing it. You won't get kicked out or on a list.
Starting point is 00:12:25 You're a menace. You can't. Okay, well, so we are going to do some riddles today. I'm gonna be old man puzzles for this episode. I can't wait. Can I just say too, part of what I like about riddles is figuring out how to cheat, and I like that you've positioned yourself
Starting point is 00:12:38 on the same couch, but as far away as possible. Yeah, you are, we're simpatico here because there's nothing I like better than cheating at a game of skill And what's part of the skill? That's the skill. Well, that's it. It's like it's like I think there's like a Genuine like a general like smarts aspect to it But then there's also the social and like sneakery aspect Yeah, and I think that that part is the part that I can how do you feel about social deduction social deduction games?
Starting point is 00:13:03 Have you played love Love them, hate them. Like what are they? Secret Hitler or Blood on the Clock Tower? Werewolf. Mafia werewolf. Blood on the Clock Tower, I mean like I did theater in college, but I played lots of werewolves. It's a safe space.
Starting point is 00:13:15 We're all allowed to have done theater in college. I have been doing recently a lot of Blood on the Clock Tower which has been really fun. There's like a big LA group of Blood on the Clock Tower, which has been really fun. There's like a big LA group of Blood on the Clock Tower folks, which has been a really great time. If you're ever in Chicago, we have a bimonthly game? Yeah, I am a lot. My aunt and my uncle are out there.
Starting point is 00:13:35 My mother's out there, so I'm there like twice a year for like a week or so. So I will absolutely bother you guys when I'm out there. Yeah, there's a, I wonder if Rush knows about the LA chapter of Blood on the Clock Tower. I'm sure he's got his fingers in the Blood on the Clock Tower pie all over this country. I hate that phrase.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Gotta be. Okay, I'm gonna eat some of these riddles. But I also, I played a lot of survivor as well, like a lot of quarantine survivor and things like that. And I'd say I'm somebody where either people don't see me as a threat and I'm there till the end, which is hopefully by design, or I play with people that know me well enough
Starting point is 00:14:07 and before I can even do anything, I'm voted out immediately. Yeah, yeah. I clocked you as a big threat walking in. Wow, huge. Yeah. Threat, threat, threat. You tried punching me and I dodged.
Starting point is 00:14:17 I'm very fast. And I'm not good at punching, I don't know, that was. It was so slow. It was a terrible choice for me to do. And you said, here comes a punch. I screamed threat, threat, threat, I stood up that was. It was so slow. It was a terrible choice for me to do. And you said, here comes a punch. I screamed threat, threat, threat. I stood up slowly. You literally telegraphed it.
Starting point is 00:14:28 You got out of worst code machine. I'd be really bad in the fight. Okay, so yeah, we're gonna do some riddles here. These are riddles from listeners of the show. Again, we do not say fans, we say listeners. This is a riddle from Thomas. Thomas writes, a man enters a cage which is covered in blood.'" I also wanted to say-
Starting point is 00:14:47 No, no, next. This is gonna be a spooky one. Erin, sometimes when you read riddles from listeners, you also include like the nice things that the listeners say. I always strip all of that out because I can't be bought and I cannot be complimented. We'll see. So this-
Starting point is 00:15:00 What do you mean by can't be bought? Because here's the thing, you're reading the riddle already, right? So what are're trying to get Okay, but this one actually Thomas had a really mean message. So this is the opposite of being bought No, I don't put that evil on Thomas and most people like the show But just so you know, so if someone hears their riddle and they say hey, I'm Thomas and I actually wrote a really nice letter You probably did Thomas but it was only for me and it's for no one else
Starting point is 00:15:23 So I read it and then I deleted it. Oh, you get to keep that in your heart. I love that. I deleted it from my brain, but I kept it in my heart. I'm thinking of all the compliments I would have gotten in these past 300 episodes if you had read. That sucks. I could have, yeah, I could have.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Because I know that they mean something to you and that's another little thing for me to think. Yeah. I can't wait for eventually just Aaron sitting on the floor surrounded by the emails, all the kind things that have been said to you just creeping. I would wallpaper my room with that. Thomas writes, a manager's a cage which is covered in blood.
Starting point is 00:15:51 I have a problem with this already. Who's doing that? Why? What's the motivation? Maybe he's a blood cage cleaner. Maybe he's never clean. Oh, it's a job. This could be a job.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Maybe that helps us. Yes, all right. Yeah, and time will tell if he's a manager or an employee. Am I allowed to talk while you're doing the riddles? You can do whatever you want here. Wait, a surge of power rushing into my body. Because I did come in immediately and you said there's several very specific roles you have to follow.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Immediately followed by you slowly trying to punch me. Threat, threat, threat. Missed the punch, apologize for the punch. Vick, our podcast is very similar to Michael Douglas's The Game. I love that. The most underrated movie of all time. I love that.
Starting point is 00:16:29 What is that? Watch The Game. It's basically an escape room in a movie. Yeah. Ooh, and there's a movie called The Escape Room, so that's high praise. Also Michael Douglas. They play that in the game.
Starting point is 00:16:39 Really? Yeah. Are the plots different from each other? They're horror movies, and honestly, they're fun. Oh, okay. It's like watching an escape room and going, I think this is how you solve the puzzle and then they proceed to do it Oh nice. That's a premise. That's relaxing for a horror movie apologies And yes, you are able you are able allowed in and it is encouraged to stop me in the middle of reading these read Oh perfect. Okay. Let me see. Can I get my place? No, I can't I have to start again
Starting point is 00:17:01 Amanda there's a cage which is covered in blood. Any thoughts on that? Well, I'm just gonna asterisk that. We discussed it already and we can maybe come back as we're discussing what the answer to the riddle would be. He surveys the situation and removes a small piece of trash and exits the way he entered. Afterwards, he's hailed as a hero. Why?
Starting point is 00:17:21 Okay. Yeah. This is a riddle. Is this like a shark, like one of those shark cages? I guess it's like a shark cage. Zoo cage? In that it is a cage. Hmm. But in no other way I would say is it like a shark cage.
Starting point is 00:17:34 He said it was a piece of trash? It's a small piece of trash, and X is the way he answered. Is the piece of trash, what is the POV of this? Is it us, the outsider is looking at it as a piece of trash or this man who I'm going to call Thomas, because Thomas then in this riddle is identifying this thing as a piece of trash? Oh, gotcha. So, hmm. Okay. So the man who's entering the cage covered in blood, I don't
Starting point is 00:17:57 think they're seeing it as- The man is covered in blood. A man is just a cage, which is covered in blood? No, I'm sorry. Cage is covered in blood. Yes. I don't think that that man in the riddle is seeing this as a piece of trash. You could describe this thing as a piece of trash. It's pretty loose. Like if you're like, that's a piece of trash,
Starting point is 00:18:12 I would probably call it something a little more specific. JPC. But that's the riddle. Okay, man. I have two guesses. I'm proud to be trash. I actually don't care. You're ready to guess? Indiana born and bred. I'm ready to posit some ideas.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Okay, okay. Hold on, a posit's just a guess. You can't confuse me, college boy. Is the cage like a WrestleMania Hell in the Cell cage? And don't say ooh to WrestleMania Hell in the Cell. Ooh, could it be that? The piece of trash is like mankind's sock, sock-o or something?
Starting point is 00:18:41 It's a tables, ladders, and chairs match. What is that? Okay. I love throw somebody through a table and then write them a letter. sock, socko or something? It's a tables, letters and chairs match. But is that the same? I love throw somebody through a table and then write them a letter. Tables, letters and chairs. What's your second guess? Second guess is this is like a aquarium
Starting point is 00:18:59 and they chum the waters for the sharks or something or whatever sea creature. And the piece of trash is like, you know how turtles will get like, what are the six pack holders, like the plastic, if you get a six pack of Coke. Oh, oh, oh. Oh yeah, the, that you're supposed to cut for the turtles.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Yeah, yeah, is it something like that where it's like he saved the life of the- That's interesting. Saving the life. I was thinking the same thing. You're close with saving the life, but you're not close with like turtles or whatever the hell you say. So it's not a sea creature.
Starting point is 00:19:23 It's not a sea creature. But is it maybe a thing that would be at a zoo Is there melted ice? I mean Erin technically it's an animal that would be at a zoo, but that's not really helpful There's no crib. There's no melted ice and it's not a crib. No. Yeah, why would there be blood everywhere? Yeah, um a man enters a cage which is covered in blood He service the situation and removes a small piece of trash and exits the way he entered. Afterwards, he's hailed as a hero.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Why? The hailing as a hero thing maybe could be important, having it there. Exits the way he entered is also kind of, I mean, everything's important. Is the hailing as a hero like sarcastic? Like, people were like, whoa. People truly, truly believe that this person is a hero.
Starting point is 00:20:02 Read the beginning of that one more time. Because exits the way he enters is important. A man enters a cage which is covered in blood. He surveys the situation. He just enters a cage, we don't know how he enters the cage. Exactly. He surveys the situation and removes a small piece of trash
Starting point is 00:20:14 and exits the way he entered. Oh, is this a mousetrap? This is not a mousetrap. A hamster cage? The man, I will say, has a clue to help you guys. Is it Jesus? Wow. Doesn't say that it is Jesus,
Starting point is 00:20:29 but I won't say that it's not Jesus. The man has a very specific profession. Cage match Jesus. Cage match Jesus. You think he couldn't do shit, cause he's thin, you know, he's not, he's like, he's, he's, he seems like a wiry guy. Jesus?
Starting point is 00:20:43 Yeah. No, not at my church. He was up there with like six pack abs, so jacked. He's got that V shape. Do you see him on the cross? What are you talking about? He's got that Dorito chip shape. He was starved up there.
Starting point is 00:20:53 No, if you weren't horny for Jesus, the Jesus statue at your church, you weren't living. They made the Jesus at my church as sickly as possible because he was a Catholic. That's, oh. We Catholics are infernal people. I was Catholic and our Jesus was Jack. Rockstar Jesus.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I do wanna see a quick, I don't know if this is a scene. Vic and Erin, you're gonna cut promos as sort of biblical themed cage fighters or wrestlers. Great. Trying to think of anyone from the Bible. You said you were Catholic? That checks though.
Starting point is 00:21:27 It's all gone. Yeah. Hey, it's good to see you. Are you ready for this? Yeah. Yeah, just about 30 more seconds while the sound guy's coming around. Yeah, great, thank you.
Starting point is 00:21:35 I'm a little hungover. Are our kids bad? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm hungover. I'm so sorry. Oh, you're hungover? Yeah. Did you go out with everybody last night?
Starting point is 00:21:41 Yeah, I did. Oh, congrats. I flew in from Minnesota yesterday, so I just took a little bit of time. Right. That's why you weren't there last night. Oh congrats. I flew in from Minnesota yesterday so I just took a little bit of time. Right, that's why you weren't there last night. Yeah. Okay, you ready? Yep. Okay, here we go! I'm Abraham and I have five little kids. And my kids are gonna descend upon you. Like the Lord said unto me, I shall have all of the earth with my children and
Starting point is 00:22:04 we shall swarm you and defeat you and eat you and I'm Mary Magdalene you're gonna wash my feet with your blood can I just say if that was church every Sunday right I would be there what kind of church every Sunday to attend a Well, I was raised Muslim, so I went to mosque for X amount of years, and then I was converted to first Baptist, and that was boring. Because what I'll say is like,
Starting point is 00:22:35 I got really sucked into the mega church vibe of things, and that kind of was the vibe. Really? It's just like screaming and Yeah, a lot of like very rock star-y like. Did they do like the talking in tongues thing or is that? No, this was like non-denominational. It was very much like, I mean, it's like a crazy,
Starting point is 00:22:53 it's a crazy thing. It was like, you know, the pastors and all the pastors kids were making like millions of dollars. The pastor takes out an electric guitar and starts to play kid rock or something. Yeah, I mean, there was this whole big thing where there was this like, I keep saying this and I'm like, is this gonna get me in trouble?
Starting point is 00:23:06 The, like, there was like a big Christianity Today like expose on our pastor because he apparently like tried to put out a hit on a Christianity Today reporter. And I know, and his son-in-law, it was a whole thing. It's all alleged. But then he ended up getting ousted by the elders because he was like, quote unquote, embezzling a bunch of money from the church.
Starting point is 00:23:24 And just, and is still like, now just like embezzling a bunch of money from the church. And he's still like, now just like moved, I think to California and is doing like a podcast. I can't breathe. He's doing a podcast now? JBC, now's the time. It seems weird. Reveal yourself.
Starting point is 00:23:35 We got him. Isn't it weird to get caught embezzling money from the church because you're like, that's what we're all here for, right? Like it's my money, like I earned it by swindling people. Yeah, sure. Well, I think that's maybe why it's a little, but it's like when it's a big company, it's like you're saying you're doing here for, right? Like it's my money, like I earned it by swindling people. Yeah, sure. Well, I think that's maybe why it's a little, but it's like when it's a big company,
Starting point is 00:23:47 it's like you're saying you're doing it for stuff, but it's actually just going into a house. And I think with the nonprofit, it can get like a little like- Yeah, with the tax exempt status or whatever. Yeah. I'm telling you, I don't think people should be doing bad stuff.
Starting point is 00:24:00 I'll tell you. Hot take. I know this is gonna get me in big trouble. Oh my God, I just remember we haven't figured out the answer to this riddle. Oh man. I hate that feeling. Let it cage. Enter the cage. Because I think that that's gotta be a big piece of it, is like we don't know how he's going in,
Starting point is 00:24:11 I think initially I'm picturing a door, I really think that it's like we're appearing in this cage. Okay, the cage is technically a cage, you would call this a cage, but it's, I think it's an atypical type of cage that you probably wouldn't, it wouldn't be the first type of cage that you think of. I know, the answer.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Ooh. The cage is a jail cell, and the piece of trash, quote unquote, is going to be somebody that he's ratting on. And so he removes the piece of trash, takes them out, kills them, and then he's hailed as a hero because it was a really, really bad guy
Starting point is 00:24:42 that they didn't know what to do with. HBO, are you listening? Every part of that makes sense. Makes sense. HBO's like, yeah, Oz, we made Oz. The man just keeps the cage, which is covered in blood. So where's the blood in this? Because he killed the guy.
Starting point is 00:24:52 But he enters the cage, and it's already covered in blood. Because that guy just killed a bunch of good guys. Gotcha. Good guys! The blood is proverbial and then also literal. That works. It's not the answer. I think it is.
Starting point is 00:25:05 But I will accept it. And now Vic doesn't have to do any more riddles. Great, wow. Now you two have to still come up with your own unique answer that hopefully is the right answer, but Vic you're off the hook. Is the bloody cage like a space station? Is this like an astronaut coming to a- Alien.
Starting point is 00:25:19 What are some other types of cages that you can think of? It literally has the word cage in it. Can I ask a question? A baby crib. Rib cage, it's a rib cage. Erin, would you like to solve the puzzle? Erin, would you like to solve the puzzle? Oh, no, I'm so mad. I hate Riddles so much.
Starting point is 00:25:32 It's so smug. He goes into a rib cage and takes out, someone swallow a piece of trash. Erin! What an idiot. No, it's not someone swallow a piece of trash. What is it? Like a tumor? Like a tumor, like a... No, this is like another, it's not trash, but it's like, it's not someone swallowing a piece of trash. What is it? Like a tumor. Like a tumor, like a... No, this is like another, it's not trash,
Starting point is 00:25:46 but it's like, it's junk. It's like, it's not supposed to be in there. Grape. A grape? Is it parked around your heart? Grape? I do wanna see a scene. It must be nice to have never had a grape in your rib.
Starting point is 00:25:57 I don't wanna see a scene here. You're gonna be playing. Lord. You're gonna be playing a surgeon, and you are, and Adel, you're gonna be playing a surgeon and you are an adult you're gonna be the the nurse assistant and you are going to be Taking things out of a patient's body that are not typically found inside of the patient. Okay, couple No, I found a scalpel inside this guy what the hell oh my god, they must have been operating on themselves My god, there's all sorts of stuff what else is in here scissors Wow one of those pizza cutters selfie stick
Starting point is 00:26:34 What the hell? Okay, that's not bad. Oh my god hundred dollars Don't mind if I do what we do. Hey, come on what cut it in half. No If you have 51% of a bill, it's legal tender. Wait, he's waking up. He's waking up. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hey, what are you guys doing in my locker? Hi.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Is that what you call your ribs? I'm a doctor at this hospital. You can't just come into my locker. This is where I keep my scalpels. Run. Run. Run. Uh, Aaron, you got it, of course. Uh, the trash is a piece of shrapnel.
Starting point is 00:27:08 This person is a combat surgeon removing shrapnel from the chest of the soldier. Thomas. That's why they're a hero, because as we all know, soldiers are the real heroes. Yeah. You put a soldier next to a teacher, that teacher's getting kicked in the teeth every single time I'm fast enough to kick him.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Yeah. Which is never, unfortunately. How do I feel about that riddle? Thomas, I think you should subscribe to Dropout TV and I'm a huge fan of yours and I love that. And I think you're so smart and I love it. Great. What the heck are they doing?
Starting point is 00:27:41 They know how to, they're like not alienating the listener. What the fuck? Love it. Someone writing this down? Love it. I don't have a pen. It's not being recorded. Check your chest. Check your chest.
Starting point is 00:27:51 It's a grape. Yeah, it's a grape. We're going to read a riddle now from Liam. Liam says, a man is walking down the street when a woman stops him and asks the time. He tells her, and he says that he can't understand what she's saying. So she asks again, to which he replies that it's 3 45 p.m. But thanks him. She thanks him and they go their separate ways Can you read it? What's the question? What the the question is like why like why why why did this happen or what? Why what makes this make sense a man is walking down the street when a woman stops him and asked him a time
Starting point is 00:28:24 Why what makes this make sense a man is walking down the street when a woman stops him and asked him the time He tells her that he can't understand what she's saying So she asked again to which he replies that it's 3 45 p.m. She thanks him and they go their separate ways Why did why did this happen? Was she speaking a different language at first? No, the language that the woman stopped though the woman who stops and asked him the time the language stays consistent and the same. And this guy speaks the same language as her? Yes, I would say so. Are they on a military base?
Starting point is 00:28:57 This person is a hero. You're correct, Vic. So I'm thinking a 1300, oh 1300, and they're like what? And then being like, oh wow. You laughed in my face, and I actually had a real serious and excellent answer. Was it a laugh?
Starting point is 00:29:12 I've been trying not to do that. Fuck, okay well. I think that's a good answer. I think we should just accept it. Okay, Vic, you no longer have to participate for the rest of this riddle. This is huge, this has been my goal coming, and I say plausible enough answer
Starting point is 00:29:26 that I have to talk as little as possible. I love that. And now you can just do what I do and just do jokes for the whole time. Alan Aaron, what are we thinking? Is this something where it's like sign language and there's a misinterpretation with the sign language? No, but you are so close.
Starting point is 00:29:44 He had to turn on his phone to tell the time. Oh, interesting. But this is that he says he can't understand what she's saying, so she asks again. She says it within a sneeze. She was sneezing the first time she said it. Oh, I love that answer. Or yawning.
Starting point is 00:29:58 She was like, do you wanna know how much time it is? And he was like, what was that? What time is it? Erin, I can fully believe you would walk up to someone and sneeze, ask them to tell the time, Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not?
Starting point is 00:30:08 Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not?
Starting point is 00:30:15 Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not?
Starting point is 00:30:21 Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? Are you sure you were not? head. Do you remember that? Yeah, I do. I walked around downtown Chicago after an audition with my dress tucked into the back of my underwear and I was like, everyone's looking at me today. I must look good today for a while. And then I saw myself in the reflection of a building.
Starting point is 00:30:36 No. I never felt joy again after that, I don't think. That was it for you. Seven or eight years ago. That's tough, but think about how much joy you felt before you knew that in that moment. So true, I thought I looked pretty. I thought I was a pretty lady in a dress
Starting point is 00:30:48 walking around town. I think you were a pretty lady in a dress. You're a trendsetter. There's no way to know. I just saw Cara Delevingne with that exact same thing. That's the craziest name. Is that how you pronounce her name? It's Delevingne, right?
Starting point is 00:31:00 No, Delevingne. I thought it was Delevingne, but honestly, do you remember that wonderful time on the internet right before we found out that Kate Middleton had cancer, which was horrible, obviously, but then before that, when everybody was like, oh, what's going on? And so then we all learned the Marchioness of Chumlee's name,
Starting point is 00:31:15 but everybody was like Chamontellay, cause that's how it's spelled. And so now I'm wondering if it's a situation like that. Well, let us know in the comments. There's no place to leave a comment. Let us know somewhere. I'm going off of a, isn't it like Merovingian or something like the Merovingian line or something.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Is that from Da Vinci Code? It's like the cup of Christ is like. Not all of us reread the Da Vinci Code this year at all. Taravangian from the Way of Kings. I'm thinking of Tariferma. I think it's Cara Delevingne. I think it's Dan Brown What were we talking about though is this like a Siri or Alexa situation
Starting point is 00:31:53 Wow, it's like I didn't catch that. Yes. Is it that Wow? That's that's also another You are done for this riddle. Oh, thank you. Go ahead. What the heck, I'm alone. Erin, you're not alone. You're with me. And you got it last time. That's so true. It is so much worse.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Erin, you did such a good job last time. If there was somebody that was going to be alone trying to answer this riddle, I'm so glad that's you. Adel was very close with Adel. You were talking about sign language, right? I was. Yes.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Adel was very close with sign language, if that helps. I'll read it again. A man is walking down the street when a woman stops him and asks them at the time. He tells her he can't understand what she's saying, so she asks again, to which he replies, it's 3.45 p.m. Is this what you do like one of these things? That's exactly what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:32:35 No, she asked them again in the exact same way. What she says does not change. Ah. Ah. Is a duck upset? The woman is Kesha. The woman is Kesha. The woman is Kesha. So the way she asks is TikTok on the clock?
Starting point is 00:32:49 Yes. Because my body don't stop. And he says, I don't know music. Yeah. And she did wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy. Yes. Do you think she still sings those lyrics? No.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I can't think of another. She only listens to podcasts now. I'm trying to think of any other Kesha song other than that one. Dinosaur? What's that? Roar the day I know my man roar. That can't be real.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Yeah. I stopped listening to music after that Kesha album dropped. She had a bunch of them that were amazing. Oh, she did Die Young. I hear the heart beat to the beat of the drop. Boom, boom. That last Kesha album, the last Kesha album she put out is also very good.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Really? A member of Mensa. Is that true? Yeah. That doesn't surprise me at all. Genius IQ. Well, also like a genius in the way that she did the music, I think,
Starting point is 00:33:30 is like it was hitting a demographic that people were just like, don't care, not interested. Yeah. And the answer's not Kesha, I'm not sure what we were talking about, but that's not the answer. You would like the answer, Erin? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Okay. I give up. Thank you so much for admitting defeat. I don't wanna be alone with you anymore So that I've been there before huh? Okay, stare at the self of the mirror Okay, um, so The man is deaf The first time he did not hear the woman, but the second time he read her lips Okay, I don't like that riddle at all.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah, I don't like that riddle. Boo. Wait, no, hold on. I respect the riddle. Because who wrote it? That would be Liam. And Liam, we love ya. Yeah, we love ya.
Starting point is 00:34:14 This is why Vic is successful and we are not successful. No, that's not. We shit on Oasis all the time. That was from Liam Gatlinger, yeah. Is Liam Gatlinger the good one or the bad one? I mean. Trick question. They're both assholes. I think Liam'sagher, yeah. Is Liam Gallagher the good one or the bad one? I mean, trick question, they're both assholes. I think Liam's the more talented one. Liam in Chicago seems like a character from Shameless.
Starting point is 00:34:31 I think they're all Gallagher's and I think that there's Liam Gallagher in there. Mm-hmm, lip, the bear. The bear. Huh, right, the bear? Yeah. You know that guy's not even from Chicago? He's made a whole career of being a guy from Chicago
Starting point is 00:34:42 and he's from like fucking New York or LA or some shit. Do you think he bought a house there during the filming of Shameless and was like, I just film here now? Yeah, he's like, I only live, I live in Chicago. Yeah. I watched that wrestling movie that he did that was pretty sad.
Starting point is 00:34:55 The Iron Claw? Yeah. Yeah, tough. Watched it on my plane. They actually left out sad parts because they like- I know, I read a whole article about how much more sad the real story is. They left out sad, tragic parts of the movie because they felt like people would think it was fake
Starting point is 00:35:07 because of how tragic the actual story is. Well, and how repetitive the tragedies were. They're like, we can't say that the guy suffered the same tragedy three, anyway. That's what happened when they tried to make a movie of my life. When no one will believe that this many bad things happens to one lady.
Starting point is 00:35:20 The director is like looking at posts of all the scenes that they have of a woman walking with her dressed up in her underwear. They're like, do we need all of them? I feel like have of a woman walking with her dress tucked into her underwear. They're like, do we need all of them? I feel like it's a little heavy. It's a hat on a hat here. Then all of a sudden, we're just cutting to these emails as wallpaper, and then it's like, how did we get here?
Starting point is 00:35:34 Yeah, you don't understand why I needed all those compliments. You don't see me have my underwear out. And there's a select few of you that are listening to this show only listening for Erin tragedies. And you are not going to be disappointed when we come back for a brief break. Aaron's going to get into her whole bevy of tragedy. Mm-hmm. Stick around. Adolf, JBC, you guys are not going to believe what I've been spending my money on.
Starting point is 00:36:06 We'll probably believe it. Well, don't lie to us. Tell us the truth. Oh, okay. Well, the truth is that I have been sending an acapella app, $50 a month for the last six months. I downloaded it, rocket money, and they caught it for me and then they canceled it for me. Thank God, right?
Starting point is 00:36:23 That's so much money. Yeah, that's a lot of money. And what would an acapella app even be, right? Like, am I... Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to. Answer to, answer to. I don't want the answer to that, so that makes sense. Silence. Yeah. Aaron, I've heard of Rocket Money in a more normal way.
Starting point is 00:36:41 With Rocket Money, I have full control over my subscriptions and a clear view of my expenses. I can see all of my subscriptions in one place. And if I see something I don't want like a Acapella for $50 or whatever it was, Rocket Money can help me cancel it with just a few taps. And they also monitor your spending and help lower your bills so that you can grow your savings. Yeah. And Rocket Money will even try to negotiate lower bills for you by up to 20%. All you have to do is submit a picture of your bill and Rocket Money takes care of the rest. They'll deal with customer service, Erin, for you.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Wait a minute. I just got a notification. Do you want to continue? This is from Rocket Money. It says do you want to continue to contribute $1,200 a day to the Erin Keefe scholarship? Oh. Okay. Aaron, when I gave you my phone the other day, that was for? Rocket Money has over five million users and has saved a total of $500 million
Starting point is 00:37:35 in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's features. So stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash riddle. That's rocketmoney.com slash riddle, rocketmoney.com slash riddle. La la la la la la looooo.

Yes, people write these riddles themselves So sometimes yes, sometimes they do and what I will say is we've been doing this show for three

Vic, you are a James Bond type, but you are also a deer, and you're going into a casino and trying to sort of solve a mystery. Hold on. I'm a James Bond type, and a deer is in the animal, and I'm trying to solve a mystery.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Yeah, what does James Bond do? In your defense, Erin, that was insane. Was it? No, Erin. Is that the craziest seat sign I've ever seen? No, hold on, hold on. Absolutely not. It was a perfect scene. The sign.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Oh, spy deer. I understand. Yes. And it makes perfect sense in the tracks. And I love that. And I love that. And I think you're a genius. Erin, I don't think it's insane.
Starting point is 00:44:53 But now you have to consider who is it coming from? If I don't think something's insane, that's gotta be, yeah, right? No, it's insane. It's not insane. It's really not. It's big brained. It's like, it really is like 4D chess,
Starting point is 00:45:05 like an amazing scene. Aaron, I hear it, I go, hmm, checks out, then I continue eating my fingers. That's like asking Hemingway, am I an alcoholic? And he's like, no. And you're like, I gotta go right now. Excuse me, Mr. Hemingway.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Look at my six-toed cat. Okay, so you're entering into a, what, you use the casino? Yeah. Okay, gotcha. May we... oh. You appear to be a woodland creature. I'm sorry, I just almost... almost came up and asked you if there's anything we can do to help.
Starting point is 00:45:34 I don't know why. What an astute observation. Hey, hon, why don't you go get me a bowl of grass, shake and not stirred, alright? Yes, right away. Why did I say yes right away? Hey, here, let me give you a little something. Come here. You gotta come down. Okay, I'm bending down.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And here we go. And there's a hundred dollar bill. I'm gonna use my hoofs and I'm gonna put it in your waistband. This is covered in ticks. Interesting. And that's all yours and there's another one where that came from if you can tell me who that is over there. Oh, that is a very, very dangerous man. I don't think that you want to be associating with Mr. Hans Blofeld. I think I do. Do you know what my name is?
Starting point is 00:46:10 Um, no. Deer. Deer? A deer. Oh, a deer. Well, I'll get that bowl of shaken grass. Not stirred, right? That's correct.
Starting point is 00:46:22 So you go ahead and be a me and get out of here, okay? I'll make like a tree. Sure. Cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck. Ah, dear. You. Eh, dear. Have a seat at the table if you can afford the steaks.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Not only can I afford the steaks, I'm gonna get frites with that, thank you very much. Uh, uh, uh, before you bite, you should know that is venison. Okay. And? Oh, shit. You are... Holy shit! Just how I like it. That is bonkers! Is everyone... is everyone seeing this? A guy at the end of the table...
Starting point is 00:47:02 Oh my god! Oh fuck! Fuck! Alright, alright, okay. Is everyone, is everyone seeing this? The guy at the end of the table. Oh my god. Alright, alright, okay. Malicious, that's the code to the nuclear warhead. Malicious. Thank you. Da da da da. Flying through the roof?
Starting point is 00:47:18 Does James Bond fly? And I'm doing a virus, but I'll stop. I'm not even a thug. Okay, HBO, are you listening now? Spy, dear, Vic is willing to do anything. Four seasons? I'm willing to do four seasons. Four seasons?
Starting point is 00:47:31 22 episode seasons? Let me into the four seasons and I'll do anything you want. I'm willing to stay in the double tree if I can do that show. You know what's funny? I found out recently, cause I honestly,
Starting point is 00:47:42 and I don't know if this is just my brain being a little bit broken, cause anytime you go anywhere and you see a four seasons, there's a Canadian flag outside, and I don't know if this is just my brain being a little bit broken because anytime You go anywhere and you see a Four Seasons There's a Canadian flag outside and I always just thought it was because like oh Canadians like staying at the Four Seasons No, it's owned by a Canadian company. I didn't know that it was started in Canada. I guess I didn't know that either I just thought they really appreciated their Canadian patrons and so they were flying the Canadian flag and I was like this can't be right It was everywhere. Yeah, that's wild. Yeah
Starting point is 00:48:05 Well, you won't be right. It was everywhere. Yeah, that's wild. Yeah. Oh. Well, they won't have any more of my business then. Yeah, they're gonna boycott it until Trudeau apologizes. He should, probably for a lot of things. For hockey, for hockey, please. It also isn't just fun to hear a Canadian apologize. Yeah, they're so sweet. Because of the way they have to say that word.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Sorry. Because of what God did to them. My people shall say it weird. That's it, free healthcare, but you have to apologize. You know, the double edged sword. Us from the Midwest, we're like, we just say sorry. And we say it all the time. And poop.
Starting point is 00:48:36 And poop. And poop. That honestly is the thing is I feel like people are constantly like, hey, you don't have to apologize. That's not a thing you have to do. I'm like, that is cultural. And actually you asking me not to do that is have to apologize. That's not a thing you have to do. I'm like, that is cultural, and actually you asking me not to do that is problematic. Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:48 That's offensive to me, and I'd like you to apologize. Yeah, for to me. That's what my sister asks for her on her birthday every single year, is she goes, I just want everybody to apologize any time that I ask them to. Okay, we have a front runner for who I'm marrying.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Any time you have a friend asking them to apologize. So every year on your birthday, that's sort of like a thing that we do, is we're just sort of like, okay, it's your day. Like you get to do whatever. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him.
Starting point is 00:49:09 I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him.
Starting point is 00:49:22 I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry him. I'm gonna marry have to say like you should apologize. I don't think that that matters to her. Okay. She just wants it. Cause it's about the power for her. It's a power dynamic thing I think. Is she the youngest? Is she a middle kid?
Starting point is 00:49:32 No, don't answer, don't answer. You can answer that. What she's fracked me as. All right. What she's fracked me as. She's fracked me as a youngest. I mean obviously that's a good thing. I know, but I'm a youngest.
Starting point is 00:49:41 So I'm a youngest and that's spoke to me, but also middle kids get passed over. I'm gonna say it's a huge trick question. There's, okay. And I already think I have an answer for Vic. I think I've, I think- Is there twins in this mix? Wow.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Wow. Can't say. Fuck, I didn't even consider there might be twins in this mix. Complicated family dynamics on complicated family dynamics is what I'll say. It could be some step siblings as well. Step siblings. No, if it's step some step siblings as well. Step siblings.
Starting point is 00:50:05 No, if it's step siblings, then you call bullshit. Step siblings. You have to say if it's step siblings, because a step sibling could come in at age 35, you could give a step sibling. And then, did you really have a sibling? I don't know if this is a dumb question, but can step siblings be triplets?
Starting point is 00:50:21 Can step siblings be triplets? Yeah, great. Probably, right? Because my Quora subscription just ran out, so I can't ask step siblings. I think if there is triplets, and then a dad, and then a dad falls in love with a mom. Slow down, slow down, slow down.
Starting point is 00:50:35 What? We're recording this, so we'll go back over it later, because this is important stuff. Okay, we have another riddle here from Caleb. Caleb asks, Caleb with a K? Nobody asked about that, but. Caleb with a K. And not where you think it's at the end.
Starting point is 00:50:48 So 21. C-A-L-E-B-K. What? Caleb. No, it's Caleb with a K at the front. At the front, right, of course. Okay, here's the riddle. Like a knife. Is it K-C?
Starting point is 00:51:00 Yeah, like a knife. Caleb, K-N-A-L-E-V, Caleb. Like a knife. Like a knife. Caleb, the knife. Okay, here we go. When it's cold, you take me off to stay warm. Coat. I said worm, warm.
Starting point is 00:51:15 When it's warm, you put me off to cool off. Put me off? You put me on to cool off, I'm sorry. Start over, start over, hold on, hold on. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, we have to start over. Let's reset JPC to his factory settings Spanish Japanese
Starting point is 00:51:34 It's just where I was manufactured when it's cold you take me off to stay warm when it's warm You put me on to cool off you wear me most when you get dirty, but you'll never find me in the closet towel It's not a towel. You'll never find a towel in a closet. Soap. Stove. I found this guy a towel on the fucking floor. When it's cold, you take me off to stay warm.
Starting point is 00:51:54 When it's warm... Ice pack. Ice pack is not the correct answer. When it's warm, you put me on to cool off. You wear me most when you get dirty, but you'll never find me in the closet. Dry ice. Dry ice. You can't find me in the closet. Dry ice. Dry ice, you can't store it in the closet, it's gotta be kept cold.
Starting point is 00:52:09 I have to hear this one more time. This is breaking my brain with the language of this. I could do it in Japanese. I can't, please don't ask me to. Try, I wasn't planning on it. Trying would be worse, I think. Yeah, yeah, I think so too. You do it and I'll do a dub voice as Robert Pattinson.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Fuck, I could've just done a dub voice. What am I doing? Okay, when it's cold, you take me off to say warm. When it's warm, you put me on to cool off. You wear me most when you get dirty. Wear me most when you get, huh. You'll never find me in the closet. Did you say that middle part every time?
Starting point is 00:52:42 Yeah. Maybe not. I don't know. I kind of have been black blocking out a bunch lately. When it's, wait, you wear me most when you're dirty. Is it a condom? Why would you put it on to cool off? Okay. I'm not gonna answer questions.
Starting point is 00:52:56 Doesn't it make you less horny putting on a condom? Oh, I see. So you're like cool off sexually. Yes. It's not a condom, but they do mean cool off sexually. No, they don sexually. Thank you. The dirty one is what's getting me. Yeah, you wear me most when you get dirty.
Starting point is 00:53:10 And I, you know, I'll also check in, because I haven't checked in. Sam, you've been engineering this episode. Have you thought, oh, I know some of these riddles, or all of these riddles? Uh, not this round. Okay. Okay, Sam has also stopped. It's important, it's important to check in. I'm trying on this one, though. That's the V Okay, okay, Sam has also stopped. It's important to check in. That's the Vox Populi, the voice of the people.
Starting point is 00:53:29 When it's hot, you take it off to cool off. When it's warm, you put it on to stay warm. No, no, no, no, no. When it's dirty, don't even think about calling me for dinner. Yeah. Get in the closet. Pride month was last month.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Me looking at it being like, did I say these words? Is this like shaving your head? Like growing out your hair, shaving your head kind of? I think it's a simpler thing than all of that. You take it off to stay warm when it's cold. When it's cold, you take me off to stay warm. That one's the harder one. Let's put that one aside. Okay. When it's warm, you it's cold. Cold. You take me off. Get off. To stay warm. That one's the harder one.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Let's put that one aside. Okay. When it's warm, you put me on to cool off. I think this is something that people do, like in the summertime especially. A fan, a damp cloth, a... You turn me off, the heat. Damp cloth is clothes.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Is it like the heat? It's not the heat. Damp cloth is clothes. Like a... like, um... Compress? You wear me most when you get dirty, but you'll never find me in the closet. Here's what I'll say.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Where is like... I wouldn't ever say that you're like wearing this, but... Sweat? You're so close with sweat. You're so close with sweat. And sweat is kind of right, but it's not like... In fact, Vic? Water?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Yes, Erin, you got it. Ow. Oh no. Oh no, Erin just had the physical bit of the year. Tried to knock herself out in order to not have to participate in the controls. Erin went to celebrate, her hand came under her mic, knocked her mic into her face,
Starting point is 00:55:01 and she is down on the couch. Erin, are you okay? That's the funniest fucking thing I've seen in my life. I just essentially punched myself in the face. There are three video cameras in here, none of them, I'll pass on none of them recording. The lens caps are on all of them. We'll fix them for us.
Starting point is 00:55:14 People ask all the time, it's like, would you do the podcast in a visual medium? And we think no, because we have a lot of sound design that goes into the podcast and we don't really want to do that, but me in moments like that sorry that was devastating And of all the guests to be in front of I would have not chosen you know it was perfect I'll say punch myself in the face. I think Sam really enjoyed Just to check it with Vic any of your siblings would they be after that I think that's gonna help
Starting point is 00:55:42 Yeah, I actually think that's gonna help. Oh, I actually think that's gonna help. That's really, honestly that gives me a lot. You're gonna put in on my family's so great. I feel like I'll have to go ahead about this. I can't wait. I can't wait to be in line with Disney. Because that's such a nice thing to say that that kind of tells me where they might be positioned.
Starting point is 00:55:56 In the order? Yeah. Okay. Okay, anyway. Okay. That's from Caleb, it was water. You don't really wear water, but when it's cold, you take it. You don't put it in the closet
Starting point is 00:56:05 You would never find water in the closet, but there's a water closet. There's literally a thing called the water That's okay. Do you think that Caleb now do we think that Caleb is probably not from the UK at all? Probably not. Here's what I think about Caleb huge fan I think that's not that one. I think it's interesting. When this episode drops and you get four new Dropout TV subscribers, they're gonna know where that came from. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:28 So I feel great about this. Okay, why don't we do another one? This is a riddle from Finn. This is a shorter one. I went to the forest and got it. I couldn't get it, so I left and took it home. This is a real fuckin' mind fuck from Finn. Say that one more time.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I went to the forest and got it. I couldn't get it, so I left and took it home. Do you know that riddle that's like a man is stuck, I'm literally just gonna say another riddle now that I'm sure you guys have heard. This is fun, this is what the show is. It's like a man is stuck in a cabin and there's no windows and no doors.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Oh, this is my favorite riddle. Yes, me too. It's like one that I heard at camp and it's my all time favorite riddle, but this sort of reminds me a little bit of that one. Like the man that made it didn't need it, the man that, blah, blah, blah, didn't my favorite riddle. Yes, me too. It's like one that I heard at camp, and it's my all-time favorite riddle. But this sort of reminds me a little bit of that one. Like the man that made it didn't need it. The man that ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba- some of the riddles that I like. Yeah. That or you should force guests to write original riddles, I think would be really fun. Which I kind of did with my sibling order. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Who's who, where's everyone. I'm just going to give you names at the end and you're going to have to order all of them. It's going to be like a logic problem. Yeah. That's why we did play a game once, I think on a Patreon episode where I had Adel and Erin try to guess all of my cousin's names.
Starting point is 00:57:40 And I don't think either one of you did very well. You invent the worst games that make no sense. One time we played a game that was just have I seen this episode of bones Mm-hmm, and he would just say the episode of bones and we'd be like yes, and he'd be like oh no Say that that was because we've done a lot of episodes, but that was pretty early And I think a tweak to that maybe I'm just suggesting things for the patreon at this point Like describing TV shows and then being like, have I seen it based on how I described that TV show?
Starting point is 00:58:09 Ooh, see that's a game that makes sense. Now, Vic, famously. I'll have to figure out how I do. Famously. You don't host podcasts, but will you be a all-time content creator for our podcast? Yeah, absolutely. Thank you, thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:22 I will do the visual media. We'll have to be back on the Patreon. I'll do the hiring. Yes, yes, yes, we'll put you on retainer. Yeah, I won't be in any of it, but I'm gonna be the hiring manager. I love all of those people. God, that's smart. So smart, good deal of making it.
Starting point is 00:58:32 I went to the forest to get it. I went to the forest, no, not, I didn't go there to get it. I went to the forest and got it. Interesting distinction, but it is important. I couldn't get it, so I left Erin. Poison Ivy. Rash and Poison Ivy are very close.
Starting point is 00:58:47 A bug bite. A mosquito bite. Okay, hold on. I went to the forest and got it. Let me do bug bite. I went to the forest and got it. A bug bite. I couldn't get it, so I left and took it home. I couldn't get it. It's like, couldn't get it off me? Like it's a tick? I went to the forest and got it.
Starting point is 00:59:01 I couldn't get it, so I left and took it home. Yeah, like a tick that burrows into your skin. Why are you humoring me? What's the answer? Is that the answer? That's not the answer, but I'm trying to work through if that one would work, and I think tick works. Erin, my apologies, you said tick?
Starting point is 00:59:15 I did. Okay, I didn't hear, who said it first? I punched myself in the face. So you're both out, you're both out, you don't have to do anymore answering of this riddle. It's not tick, but I accept tick. Look at this. And now it's just us. I went to the forest and I got it.
Starting point is 00:59:28 And so then I put it in my pocket and I took it. No, it doesn't go in the pocket. This sounds like a huckleberry fin. Like a... This is something that you don't want, but it is something that you would easily, I think could get in an outdoors thing that it's not a bug related.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Here's what I like about being solo. Did you see me punch myself in the face hey we're still doing a podcast over here no if you have something to share share with the whole we're doing a spin-off we're I love a spin-off being just having a quiet conversation yeah also friends I think Joey would have gone longer if that had happened during Friends. During Friends, it's like Chandler, Monica. We just saw somebody in the back having a conversation and that was Joey.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Chandler, Monica are getting married and Joey's like, my sister is a... Great Joey, by the way. We see him testing for a pilot in the background. I love that. Yeah, Frazier is doing therapy to someone or whatever. What the fuck did Frazier do in the back of Cheers? That sounds right.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Was he a therapist? Was Cheers the show that that was put off of? Why would I think it was the nanny? That's wrong. That's hilarious. And isn't Night Court a Cheers spinoff? No. Why, how could it be? Night Court is a Frazier spinoff.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Harry Anderson, Harry... Harry Houdini. Famously punch him in the gut. Harry Anderson, the judge from Night Court, is in Cheers and he does magic. And on Night Court he does magic. It's gotta be the same character. Is it that or did the network just go,
Starting point is 01:00:51 this guy can sell magic? This guy is magic. This guy has pressing digitation on lockdown. This guy sells viewers? What do networks sell? Viewers. Right. Ads.
Starting point is 01:01:01 A tree fell in the forest and I put it in my pocket. This is something that you would get, it doesn't have to be at a forest, but you could definitely get it at a forest. You definitely don't want it. Silence. Quiet wood. Wood, yes, wood, wood.
Starting point is 01:01:13 We hit wood, but. Wood, but spelled W-O-U-L-D. Wow, old. But think smaller. Wood, and this is wood that you don't want and it's small. Splinter. It's a splinter.
Starting point is 01:01:23 It is a splinter. I went to the forest and got it. I couldn't get it. Get it out of my finger. So I left and took it's small. Splinter. It's a splinter. It is a splinter. Wow. I went to the forest and got it, I couldn't get it, so I left and took it home. Get it out of my finger. A splinter. So a tick also works. Yeah, a splinter is just a non-sentient tick.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Sure. It's my hot take. Do we think ticks are sentient? Well they gotta be, because I guess that would be some sort of, what is sentience? Is it an acknowledgement of like existence and an acknowledgement of like mortality?
Starting point is 01:01:41 Or is sentience just like, I know that, like, cause does the tick know that it's alive? I will say if a tick is not sentient that I have been incorrectly gaining joy every time I kill one. Oh. Which that's basically wasted joy.
Starting point is 01:01:54 Right. It's basically joy that doesn't exist. I'm really mad about that. I think ticks are not sentient because their whole purpose in life is to like stick to you and then be like, I'm a part of this. Is a parasite sentient?
Starting point is 01:02:03 Yeah. It's like I'm you. Would a tick be considered a parasite? Have you heard about that thing now happening? In your guys' neck of the woods actually, where those ticks that they bite you and then you become allergic to meat? Yes, lime is me. What? It's chronic lime.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yeah. Scary. Sorry. Careful, nobody hike anymore. Honestly wouldn't mind. Viking's done. Ha ha, now vegetarians win because I can get bit by as many ticks as I want,
Starting point is 01:02:23 and I do. That's a good conspiracy theory Wasn't Patrick Warburton the tick? Yes, I almost said everybody loves Raymond, but that's a different guy. Do you think Brad Garrett lost it to Warburton? Not everyone loves Raymond Whoa, Vic, you've been so supportive of listeners. I love Raymond. Okay. Okay. They are just I love Raymond Hot take, okay. They are just doing- I love Raymond. Hot take after hot take after hot take.
Starting point is 01:02:46 I'm saying not everyone loves Raymond. Same thing. Whoa, whoa, whoa, not everyone loves Raymond. Oh, I do. We're gonna build this episode as like, Vic McKayla says stuff that they will absolutely get canceled for. I do wanna see a scene.
Starting point is 01:02:57 Okay, please. JPC, you are a hiker in the Midwest woods. Okay. Vic, you are a tick. Thank God. Who has a stuck glommed onto J woods. Okay. Vic, you are a tick. Thank God. Who has stuck, glommed onto JPC. Okay. Oh man.
Starting point is 01:03:10 Hi. Oh, God? No. Oh man. I guess kind of. Look at your leg. Look at my leg. Hi.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Oh my, oh, oh. You're, oh, come on. Are you a tick? Yep. Are you sucking my blood right now? Don't say it like that. Um. Hey. I Don't say it like that. Umm...
Starting point is 01:03:27 Hey. I don't hate it. It actually feels nicer than I thought it would. Pfft. I've been single for kind of an embarrassingly long time. Is that true? Yeah. That's so shocking.
Starting point is 01:03:40 I've been telling you- You have such muscular legs. Thank you. See, this is my whole thing, is that legs don't pop on a profile. I keep doing photos of just my legs, and people, it's the number one thing is like, do you have like a torso? Like, do you have like an upper?
Starting point is 01:03:54 The number one thing when you post just photos of your legs is people asking if you have a torso. An unbelievable amount of people ask me if I have a torso. Nobody wants to see your face. Why do you think that is? Holy shit. What kind of energy are you putting out there?
Starting point is 01:04:04 What does your profile say? Pop it open, show me. I'll put it down close see your face. Why do you think that is? Holy shit. What kind of energy are you putting out there?

I'm not taking it like that Okay, saying like if you want a little bit help on your profile more than willing to help you out
Starting point is 01:04:49 Like I said, you got great legs. You're not a consultant. Are you are you a fucking you're fucking getting it's old. There's you. Yeah Okay, how much is this gonna cost me? No much just my leg blood Honestly take the blood from my legs. Although out here in fucking LA, I'm getting eaten alive by mosquitoes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're horrible. We're sorry. I had benadryl creamed out though,
Starting point is 01:05:11 so if anybody wants some. We're sorry. We're so sorry. On behalf of the, I am the Lorax. I speak for the mosquitoes. It's hard times for the Lorax. Take the work as it comes. I think it's time to guess your siblings.
Starting point is 01:05:22 Yeah, we have. Do you think? Yeah. Oh my God, here we go. It's officially now time to guess your,. Yeah, we have. Do you think? Yeah. Oh my god, here we go. It's officially now time to guess your, uh, do you want to give us your sibling names and then we can guess where your order is? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:05:33 But I guess you would just start with yourself. Okay. No matter what. Um, so wait, hold on. What do you mean? Cause I don't want to, I don't, you're going to give us, oh, I guess you're going to give us the names in order and we wouldn't know anything from them. I'll give them in a random order.
Starting point is 01:05:43 Give them in a random order. So my sisters are Sarah and Hannah. Sarah and Hannah. My brothers are James and Ryan. Vic. James and Ryan. You've given it all away, dear. And then I'm Vic.
Starting point is 01:05:53 You think I've given it all away? No, he's being a jerk. You think I've given it all away? Well, hey, good luck guessing. James and Ryan, you said? James and Ryan. Do you think, Vic, can I ask you a question? And I can already tell you guys
Starting point is 01:06:03 are gonna be mad about this answer. Because you think this is gonna be like a hard to guess answer. Well, based on some prior information and how you guys feel about blended families, I feel like this is where I hate this answer. Okay, so there's step siblings and I don't think that there's twins,
Starting point is 01:06:18 I think there's step siblings. Okay, I think it's gonna be half siblings. Half siblings. I think it's gonna be half siblings. I think one of Vic's parents is like the type of person to call their cats their kids. Oh, interesting. Ryan is a cat name.
Starting point is 01:06:32 Yeah, Ryan is a cat. Ryan and Hannah are cats for sure. Yeah, for sure. Okay, what am I feeling? This is the energy that I think Vic, that you are giving off. I'll give you a hint. Hannah's gonna be so pissed that you said that. Hannah's the dog.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Wait, I've deducted something. I've done some deductive reasoning. What do you got? You went to go visit your brother who lived in Boston. This is something you shared with me earlier. Earlier. When he got his like out of college job. I assume you were older.
Starting point is 01:06:58 I don't know why I feel by that story that you were older than your brother when you went to go visit him. Wouldn't it be great if you did it when you were like 12? So you were not the youngest. You just went visit him. That is correct, I am not the youngest.
Starting point is 01:07:06 You are not the youngest. I'm saying, I'm gonna throw it out here, I think middle child. I think you're squarely, solidly in the middle. That's what I think. Okay. And I can't be, I won't hear otherwise. I think your second oldest is the vibe I'm getting.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Okay, I'm gonna guess, you wanna go? I'm gonna say you went from oldest in your nuclear family. This is crazy. And then there was a remarriage and then you became a middle. This is like a crazy prop bet that you're doing. I think you're gonna throw for 200 yards. Okay, wait, the brothers names again, James and Ryan. I think Ryan, you.
Starting point is 01:07:41 Okay. Sarah. Okay. Hannah. James. Okay. Sarah. Okay. Hannah. James. Okay. Do you want a hint? That's wrong. But do you want a hint?
Starting point is 01:07:52 Yes. That is incorrect. There are twins. There are twins! I knew it. The girls are twins. And they're step siblings. Shit.
Starting point is 01:08:00 What? Okay, well, we would have never gotten this. No. Okay, fucking twins. The girls gotten this. No. Okay, fucking twins. The girls are twins. No. Are the step siblings the twins? No. Did the twins come last?
Starting point is 01:08:12 No. Fuck, somebody had twins. Are you a twin? You said let's keep going? No. Okay, so James and Hannah are twins and they were first. James and Hannah are twins, they were not first. Oh, god damn it!
Starting point is 01:08:25 Okay, okay, okay, I'll start over. Ryan, you, James, Hannah, Sarah. Everyone is sweating. You could drop a pin in here. I've never cared about anything more on the show in my opinion. Incorrect. James and Hannah are the twins though. You got that correct.
Starting point is 01:08:41 And they're the twins and they're the second born. Or second in age. Twins are second in age and- You're not the twins and they're the second born or second in age. Twins are second in age and- You're not the oldest and you're not the youngest. So you are- Third. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 01:08:51 You're in the third spot. Fuck, you are the- You are the second youngest, incorrect. No, no, no, no. I said that you're not the oldest and you're not the youngest. So Vic, they are either the oldest or the youngest. Correct. You're the oldest.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Oldest. No, youngest. No, you can't because you have younger brother. One of you is correct. The one of you is incorrect. You are the oldest. Oldest. No, youngest. No, you can't because you have a younger brother. One of you is correct. The one of you is incorrect. You are the oldest. I'm the oldest. Yes.
Starting point is 01:09:09 Fuck you. I've never been so wrong. Did you do oldest as your prophet? And then the sister who is the second youngest, who wants the apology all the time? No. Second youngest. She's a middle child.
Starting point is 01:09:20 No, no. She's one of the twins. She's one of the twins. Okay. The thing is, and you've always been oldest because that's the way oldest works. No matter what happens with step whatever, oldest has to be oldest.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I don't know if this is a hint or not. There's 10 years between me and the youngest. Wow. Whoa. Okay. You. I didn't think oldest. I wasn't projecting oldest energy, but fuck.
Starting point is 01:09:42 I guess I'm... You, James, Hannah. I don't know if this helps. I'm the one that always plans all of the escape rooms. So I'm the one that does all of the bookings and all of the organization. That is an older sibling thing to do. You. It's you, the twins. James and Hannah, the twins.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Sarah and then Ryan. Incorrect. Very correct. Ryan and Sarah? Correct. Okay, so. Correct. And this is just a note. You did it! Oh no, come on, you did it! You nailed it! You did such a good job, Erin. Well, nailed it's generous.
Starting point is 01:10:08 I have to go lay down for the rest of the day. My day is over. Because you punched yourself in the face a few minutes ago. Erin, this is a note for Casey, who's editing the podcast afterwards. We're gonna cut it all apart where we were wrong and just go right to us being right. So let's just do a little bit of a celebration right now. We'll be like...
Starting point is 01:10:20 One, two, three. Oh, my God! Got it on the first try. That's crazy. Nobody's ever done that before. Especially considering that there's only five people and so I feel like there's not a huge amount of answers. You guys got it so fast. Enough. We're enough. Uh, thank you so much for doing the show.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Oh, my God. Thank you for having me. Are you kidding? This was a blast. And providing us that original family riddle that we've never done on the show before, but we might have to start doing. I just feel so good that I got one of the riddles in the correct answers. That made me feel so good about myself.
Starting point is 01:10:51 I'm going to be riding that high for the rest of the day. Do you have anything that you would like to plug or anything that you would like our listeners to find you on? Yes, I do. There's a lot of really terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, um, trans bills that are being spread across the country. So go look at local organizations.
Starting point is 01:11:08 Even if you can't donate, I know money's tight for a lot of people right now. Go see what their asks are. Oftentimes they're just wanting like amplification, posting on social media, things like that. You can show up in person, help support them that way if they ever have things like that. Or you know, Trans Lifeline is a really, really great organization that you can donate to or see what their needs are to help them out. I'd also say that if you think that there's nothing that you can do, you can also like normalize it because trans people are 1% of the population and they get like 100% of the
Starting point is 01:11:35 hate. So you can talk to your friends and family about how that is, you know, a normalized thing. Absolutely. Go follow folks on social media, put people in your feed. I mean, like, it's just a really great way to, yeah, just sort of make that a part of your everyday life, especially if you don't have any trans friends.
Starting point is 01:11:49 Perfect. Hell yeah. Adel, anything to plug? I wanna plug a recent episode of Hello from the Magic Tavern. You almost forgot the name of your other show. Oh yeah. Hello from the Magic Castle. Castle, yeah, somebody got Magic Castle on the brain. Vic was on a recent episode of

Starting point is 01:12:17 and I just got some help from the guys. It was really fun. It truly was like such a blast. It was like another reason I like went back and I listened to a ton of the episodes and it just was such a Such a treat because I do I listen to podcasts constantly so having the opportunity to go through and listen to that was such a Such a treat. I'm so happy that I got to be on it and then I got to discover it is like a podcast JPC anything to plug or promote Yeah, you can buy tickets to our live shows.
