It is served over a bed of rice and I have some Parmesan cheese I can put on top.

You just have to tell me when. This has the affect of a fancy restaurant, but it feels like it's a bed of rice with Parmesan cheese. Yeah, I mean, it's the chef made it. It's a podcast, it's a nice podcast. Throw it under the butt. The chef made it. See, there's headphones that accompany this dish.

Should I put those on? Yes, it's an audio and taste experience. We'd like to attack your senses here. Yeah, we'll do the check. What? We'll just do the check whenever. Do the audio check? Yeah, the audio check.

We'll do the mic check. Is it because this is a burned down Chuck E. Cheese? Is it the food? Is it me? Yeah, yeah. What is it? You go to a burned out Chuck E. Cheese, you hope it's gonna be like a sex thing.

This is a restaurant, that really, not really what we were looking for. And that's, we mean no offense by that animatronic bird in a cheerleading outfit. Of course, of course. Okay, well, if I can't introduce to you in this, you could just go outside, pick the headphones with you, listen to the podcast.

No, we won't be doing that either, I don't think. Okay, great. Yeah. Great, great. Yeah. Great. All right, if you could give us a five-star review on Yelp, that would be really, really helpful. I'm happy to do that for sure. Fool the next guy.

Who cares? But I will say I was excited when I heard about this dish because I heard that this dish actually has two very special ingredients. Guests, if you will. It's true. You might know these farm fresh ingredients from one of my favorite shows of all time, Cook County Social Club, the improv team,

or you might know them from their work on I Think You Should Leave on Netflix, or from their upcoming phenomenal podcast, Get It to Dutch, it's Mark Raderman and Brendan Jennings. Boom, we were in the eggs. Hey. They were suffocating in there, my god. We got them just in time.

Nobody ordered the eggs. It was not introduced. The Chuck E. Cheese eggs were. Yeah, that's what they're known for, right? Yeah. You must get the eggs at Chuck E. Cheese. That's so gross. Thank you for having us.

We're so excited. Well, I'm excited, but I'm speaking on behalf of Mark. He's excited too. Speak for yourself. I am excited. I am excited. Phew. Thank you so much for doing this.

Now you two, Brennan, you're in LA. Mark, you're in Chicago. That's right. How are you two doing? Welcome to October, by the way. And what is your relationship with riddles, puzzles, lateral thinking problems, escape rooms, rooms crosswords daily New York Times games What do you think of games and puzzles? I?

Love puzzles I do New York Times puzzles Daily, I've gotten in trouble with my wife for doing the crossword too much So yeah love them So yeah, love them. Riddles are kind of a different story because that's, yeah, that's, but games and puzzles for sure. What are lateral thinking problems? So the example I always give

for a lateral thinking problem is very quickly, there's a cabin in the woods, everyone inside the cabin is dead, they all died the same way. There's snow on the ground in front of the cabin. Icy cold. But there's no, well, that's also an answer to a lateral thinking problem.

But it's a thing of like, everyone thinks it's a house, it's a cabin, it's a log cabin, whatever. But it turns out it's a cabin of an airplane. So lateral thinking is just like. Yeah. All right. He loves it. You have to think, you have to sort of take a macro view of everything,

a bird's eye view, and be like, there's something I'm missing here. There's something outside of the details, and sort of piece it together that way. I love that. See, my relationship is exactly that. And it's the same with magic or anything. I love riddles.

I have no fucking idea what the answer is. And when someone pulls the little tablecloth off, I go, it's an athlete cabin. Brendan's going to do a lot of listening during the riddle portion. I'm just going to cackle and be so overjoyed. I'm a simpleton. I hate to do this, but I have to go back to something that Mark said. Because Mark, you said that you got in trouble with your wife for doing too many crosswords. And as a person who has recently gotten

in trouble with his wife for doing too many crosswords, what exactly was the nature of this getting in trouble? Like, were you doing crosswords when you were supposed to be? Driving? Driving. Well, yes. I mean, I think we have kids. and so you gotta take care of kids.

I don't know. That shouldn't be news to anybody. So you can get lost. I generally don't get lost in my phone. In this idea, he has kids are baby goats, right? Is that viral thinking? Yes, that's viral thinking. That is.

They're, yes. You're warming up. They're kangaroos. We have a kangaroo farm. I get so immersed in the crossword, they're really fun. The New York Times, the Sunday, they have the big books, the collection of Sunday crosswords. For sure. At one point, my wife was like, you have to put that book down and be a father

to these children. Do you do the mini every day? Or do you do the full one? I don't do the mini. No, I do strands. Love strands. Which is the new one. And I do connections and I do wordle.

And sometimes I do letterboxed, which I find to be the hardest one. Yeah. But the mini, yeah, the mini's like, I also like Ken Ken. I think Ken Ken's really fun that they have in the actual print edition, but you can't find it,

or at least I can't find it on the app. I don't think they have it on the app. They don't have it on the app. Yeah. Yeah, I do the crossword on the app every day, and I've only been doing it for like a month, and I just picked it up randomly. And my wife is like, huh,

we're still doing the crossword, right? Maybe we put the phone down, we stopped doing the crossword. Yeah, well, maybe I'll just throw my streak in the fucking garbage. Does that mean nothing to you? It tells you how many days in a row you've played. I cannot let the app down.

This is how many days I ignored you. And Brendan, what's your relationship with riddles? I love them, I'm not good at them. I do a lot of puzzle stuff, I love crosswords. Again, not great at them. I do the LA Times and they have their little app, they have a little thing that you start putting in things wrong now,

it like gives you a little X, I like that. I'm like, I want to be told I'm not going down this well for no reason. It's basically like the gutter rails in a bowling. Oh yeah, I need it. You're gonna be fine. I'm really good at like Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday on, just hold my hand and tell me what to do.

Do you find, I like to, I'm old school, I like to write it on the paper. I'd rather do that then. I've gotten into this tap in a way. I like it. Yeah. I like the tactile feel. But isn't it a mess though when you have to erase?

Oh, I don't know, race. Yeah. There's no race. Yeah. You gotta draw, you gotta draw over it to make it look like you tried to do that letter the first time. I thought you just meant that you got it right away. He seemed like a cowboy for a second.

Did we just meet Michael Jordan? That was amazing. I mean, yeah, at your best, maybe you can use the felt tip pen and not cross it off. I just have a lot of thick letters at the end of it. Yeah, I feel like the downfall for me with crosswords is that every once in a while, I know how to spell a word, except I think an E is an A or like an O is a U or some shit like that.

So I'll get to the end of the crossword and they'll be like, sorry, man, you just didn't do it today. And I'll be like, fuck you. I know that there's one, I know there's like streak and I spelled it with two E's, similar to this fucking puzzle. That's the joy of doing it in the paper, is that you just put a schwa in there if you don't know what the vowel is.

You're like, I get it. Yeah, it's what I'm close enough. I know the fucking word. Oh, also when you do it in the paper, there's no confirmation right away if you got it right. You can just go on your day and pretend you got the whole thing right. Yeah, you gotta Google the dork who does it every day and he like tells you.

Yeah, get him. I did it in two minutes. Fuck you. Sorry, can I curse on this? Yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, fuck you. Mark, you're good.

Erin, no cursing for you and Adle, you can say. I can say these three words. Well, should we get into it? I, as a way to sort of soften the blow, we have a lot of like word puzzles today and not as many riddles. Okay, cool. Okay.

And these first ones come from a person who didn't give me permission to use their name. So show it out to you if you sent these in. Hey, hey, riddle riddle. The answer to each of the following riddles will be a band name that has the words and the in the title. They are all real band names with the words and the. Example, catfish and the bottle men.

It's not a real band name, but the words and, and the forced in. Example, rascal and the flats. Does that make sense? When I start doing these, it'll make sense. Okay. Okay. Let's just jump into them. Clue one, a lever, pulley, or screw

in the capital of Tuscany. Okay. Now, okay. Tuscany has a capital. Can I guess? Yeah. It'll be, obviously. Florence and the machine.

Yes. Wow. Wow. Brandon, where were you on that? Because we're guests. Every time Mark gets it right, I get it right too. That's right. Yeah. We just get to have a point. Yeah, you guys are a team. Good one, wow. Brandon, where were you on that? Because we're guests. Every time Mark gets it right, I get it right too. That's right. Yeah.

We just get a point. Yeah, you guys are a team. Good one, Mark. I was gonna say that too. I was just gonna say that. I knew you were. That's why I tried to jump in right away because I always thought you were gonna beat me.

An exotic fish making an owl noise. Ooh, I guess this one's gotta be Darius Rucker's own. Booty and the Blowfish. Booty and the Blowfish. Yes, again. You got, I had on JPC, you guys are supposed to be faster than this. Well, I said it.

JPC had it, he just dragged his feet. I wanted to put some frills on it. Ha ha ha ha ha. It's true, I know where you're going. Darius Rucker's also a great name, I love that name. Pretty good. The empty attraction of a cute Edward. Vapid?

Oh, empty attraction. Vapid, great. This one's hard. Edward Sharp and magnetic zeros? Yeah. I said it was harder than you got it. Holy shit. Come from my boy.

He's calling you out to the streets, and he wants to challenge anyone out there. I am absolutely not familiar with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. What are they saying? I'm like fucking Dr. Spotify over here. Yeah, that song was huge. A lot of car commercials. I want to say that there's not a the in there.

I think it's Edward Sharpe and Magnetic Zeros. I think there is a the. A zero, okay. Alabama, Arkansas. I can look it up though. That's them. That's them. That's them.

Yeah. Oh, so they're the band that does the car commercials. That's exactly right. Yeah. Okay. I do wanna see a scene. Oh, okay, go ahead. Aaron and Mark, you two are a couple

who does jingles for cars for car commercials and JPC you're the producer today behind the Boards trying to help them get through a couple of car ads. Gotcha All right So hey, just just want to let you know Gare. We're having some trouble with the Honda Civic We're having some trouble with the Honda Civic. Oh. Yeah, we tried a couple things out, but nothing's really sticking.

It's not necessary, and I don't know if you got this in the copy, it's not necessary to rhyme Civic, because I think that's gonna be almost an impossible task. Okay, I wish you had told us that last night, because we've been fighting for like 16 hours. Oh my God. I don't wanna say fighting.

Why do you say fighting? We're not fighting. Hey, hey, hey. It feels like fighting. This one's on me. This was my fault. Gary's going to own this one completely. Gary, we can't keep blaming our fights on you. It's not fair to you. I don't consider them fights, okay? Because by the end, we have some resolution. Consider them fights, okay? Because by the end we have some resolution, we have some compromise. Like yeah, it gets heated. I'm not gonna lie to ya.

Jeff, we're fighting about the word fight right now. Do you see what's happening to us? This isn't a fight, it's not a fight. Why do you say fight? It feels like a fight if it looks like a fight, it acts like a fight. And it is my fault, okay? Because I, I know I'm just a producer,

but I could pick a restaurant, okay? I know I'm not invited to pick the restaurant but I could give my input and the fact that I held that back That's on me. And so I want you to focus all this passion that you guys have for each other Gary Stop taking the blame. You don't have to keep doing this. What does this have to do with the restaurants Gary? Nothing this has nothing to do with restaurants. I haven't been at a restaurant with either one of you in such a long time. He's talking about the fight from yesterday where we couldn't pick a restaurant and then we got into a huge fight about it. And now Gary thinks he should have picked the restaurant. Gary, I got a question. Does limit rhyme with civic? And be honest.

My honest opinion. Just knee jerk.erk. Go! What does it go? My honest opinion is no that- What does it go, Gary? No it does not. No it does not. It's my honest opinion. Wow. Okay. Thank you, Gary. I guess I'm right. Okay, I knew it! I knew it! I don't want to get involved in these fights, okay? You know? They're not fights! We are three weeks behind, okay? The Civic is out. The Civic is selling like hotcakes, okay? But there's no jungle. Okay, answer this question. Riddle me this, Gary.

Does Civic rhyme with hivik? And is hivik a word? There's one right answer, Gary. Please don't make me get involved, okay? And this is you choosing between the two of us. I'm gonna say there's a one right answer Gary. Please don't make me get involved. Okay, and this is you choosing between the two of us I'm gonna say there's two right answers to this one To two questions, it's two it's a question. It's a two-part Yes, it rhymes. That's the first part

I got that one wrong. Yeah Hivik and civic rhyme. Hivik and civic rhyme. Let's see. And we didn't even have to sing. My favorite kind of scene. Oh, thank God. God damn it. Oh man.

How dare you try to trick me in an improv scene to make you not sing? Brandon sent me a text and said, hey Addle, can I chime in and sing Help Me Honda? Ha ha ha ha. Thank you bud. Brandon sent me a text and said hey at all. Can I chime in and sing help me Honda? I wish commercials were like that It's just like capital steps doing car commercials Yeah, can't we have that this is I think slightly guys' time. JPC, you might have been a victim to this, but we've all been through the IO machine,

so you'll find this relatable. One time in 2016, Sharna woke up and decided that she wanted to fix how people were doing heralds, and she made us all go and do a workshop with her. And it was four herald teams at a time, and it was mostly about how we should be singing more. And it was some of the most painful moments of my life were in that room. JPC, do you, did you have to do that?

Uh, yes, I had to do it. So of course I did not do it. Okay. You, you might know this at all for sure. And Brendan, you would know this, that the old trick, the old trick was if your team was about to get cut and Sharna was gonna come watch your show to sort of determine whether you should get cut or not, you would sing a song at some point

and then she would come out back afterwards and be like, you guys are great, we're gonna extend you guys on the schedule. That's so funny. So this was way before 2016, but everyone already knew, like, we got, uh, alright, get your voices ready tonight. We're very close to the bloodbath. This will buy us another year.

This will be on the schedule. We have two people on this ten-person team that can sing, so they're going to be doing a majority of the show tonight. A lot of volleyball lobs up to them. Stay on the sides, Nick. We don't want you to help her. That's so funny. Were her dogs going on stage while you were trying to do improv characters?

Of course, yeah. At the old IO, yeah, people have stories and either you took classes and you would do scenes with her dogs or you were upstairs at the Del Close and yeah. Do you think that made us better or worse? That was another one early on. You kind of like sweated through it because it's like, well, if I fucking

crushed the scene with the dog, I'm going to be here forever. Dude, if you had pitched dog prob to Sharna, you would have never, you would have gone on every night of the week. Singing dog prob. Singing dog prob. You would have been automatic. Also in the old cab, in the old cabaret theater, downstairs, it was always a challenge, the challenge of a new Herald team was like, don't let the audience be able to hear a frozen pizza ding from the oven.

So there's a popcorn machine in a frozen pizza oven, whatever that is. And if you could hear the ding of the pizza being done, you knew your team was gonna get cut. The bartender makes like a cutting gesture from the back. That's so sad. Oh, we got a couple more of these. Okay.

The reptilian magicians encounter the emperor of turkeys. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards. Yes. What was it? Say it again, Adol, sorry. Is it King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizards? Yes, it is. When this man free fell,

he landed on a major organ, destroying it. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Yeah, I'd like to see a scene. Wow. The four of you are Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. You can decide who's Tom Petty, and it's like right before you record Free Fallen. Cool. Tom, quick question bud.

What's this one about? Yeah, Tom, I had the same question. Yeah, Tom, Tom, what is, I got the lyrics, but what is this one about? They got the lyrics. Well, actually all I got was is, I got the lyrics, but what is this one about? They got the lyrics. Well, actually, all I got was my part, which is just tambourine on this one, and I was wondering if maybe I could. Let me guys ask you something.

You guys ask you something. Is this band called Tom Petty and the guys who ask him fucking questions? No, sir. No, sir. So then let's just jangle, jangle this thing out and get out of here. Hey, guys. Hey, sir. So then let's just jangle, jangle this thing out and get out of here. Hey, guys. Hey, guys. I feel like when he was in the Traveling Wilburys,

you know he didn't talk to Roy Orbison this way. I feel like we should make a stand. I mean, we're all replaceable. What are we going to do? We don't even get, we're not even like the Heartbreakers. Oh, let's do this thing. Oh, shoot. Jesus Christ. OK, here we go. All right, Tom Brady and the heartbreakers and we have a Let's do this thing. Jesus Christ.

Okay here we go. Alright Tom, pretty and the heartbreakers, feet falling, take one. Two, three, four. Boy, dog and that mama's little baby. With horseshoes. I can't, where's the bass? Okay and cut. Yeah sorry, Tom we didn't count anyone in

You sort of just jumped into it. I feel like not really sure what you're singing Who's this when we do will bearers man we just wet Tom this is Phil Spector the audio engineer The wall of sound you're a great man nothing bad's ever gonna happen to you This is Phil Spector, the audio engineer. Yeah, my name's Phil. Wallace Sound, you're a great man. Nothing bad's ever gonna happen to you. Thanks, man. Say it back.

Say it back or something might happen to him. Say it back, Phil. Phil, say it back! I'd rather do take two. Any question, guys, for Tom before we jump into... Yeah, you guys sure do look nervous. You keep huddling up in the corner over there. You got something to say to the big T?

Are we married to the lyric, little baby with a horseshoe foot? Are we married to that? I'm gonna correct all that afterwards. That's all gonna get green screened in. I'm gonna fix all that on the green screen. You mentioned where's the bass. Again, you have me playing the tambourine on this one.

I'm usually the bass guy. Yeah, no. Would you mind if I? I want you jingling on this one. I'm usually the bass guy. Yeah, no. Would you mind if I? I want you jingling jangling. I want someone else playing bass. That's how you did it in the Wilburys, man. Everybody was doing something different. It's not the Wilburys.

Eh? I guess. That's what I want to capture on this record, man. I want everyone to know Tom was the wildest Wilbury. OK. Yeah, I'll play like a Jeff Lynn-esque guitar riff for this next one. And take two, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Free Fallin' and action.

Two, three, four. There's a bad boy holding up Elvis. He's got his rambling goo. Okay, guys, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck is that about? Rambling goo. Hey guys, guys. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck is that about? Rambling goo? A guy who's holding up Elvis? Like a bank robbery? And let's just cut there really quick. You guys, you're mostly shrugging.

You're not really playing your instruments. It's a lot of shrugging. So the sound's dropping in and out. Also, Tom, I know we had a deal. You promised you'd let me know if you got another head injury. You promised. You pinky promised even. These boys tried to kill me.

I'm not going to let you down. I'm not going to let you down. I'm not going to let you down. I'm not going to let you down. I'm not going to let you down. I'm not going to let you down.

You promised you'd let me know if you got another head injury.

You promised. You pinky promised, even. These boys tried to kill me, man. Tom. I'm not talking about these boys. I'm talking about the Wilburys, man. Okay? George Harrison tried to kill you?

And these are famously dubbed the Anthony Birch-esque riddles. Friend of the show, Anthony Birch. Was listening to the back catalog and heard Anthony's pop chain riddles and wrote you some.

OK. Thanks for the show. So here's a warm up for reminders. American Pie to Beauty and the Beast. And we have to get between those two titles. So the middle one would be American Beauty. So it'd be American Pie, American Beauty, Beauty and the Beast.

Oh, yeah. We'll just tell your mother that you ate the pie. Erin, remember that line? No. We'll just tell your mother you ate the pie. Is that from Beauty and the Beast? Eugene Levy? I thought you were gonna make it just tell your mother we ate the pie. Is that from Beauty and the Beast? Eugene Levy. I thought you were gonna make it.

When the clock fucks that pie. I thought you were gonna make it, Beauty and the Beast's like, well tell your mother you ate the clock. Okay, the first one. The dark night to naked and afraid. Reminding what movie? Okay, this has gotta be the movie Naked Night,

which that has to be like a Jason Bateman movie, right? I'm thinking like early 2000s. Yes No, that's not true Naked lunch Dark night to naked and it's one movie that has like so if it's it's dark night It'll have like dark or night in it. Mm-hmm, and then it will have a afraid or naked in it. Who's afraid of the dark? Yeah, close.

Is that a movie? Yeah, it's kinda close. Are you afraid of the dark? Are you afraid of the dark? To naked and afraid. They made a movie out of that? Huh. Yes. Huh.

The next one is the great mouse detective to Good Will Hunting. Mm. Mm-hmm. The Great Mouse Detective. This is hard, harder for me personally to, for to say. I'm not sure what this movie is. That's never good. Detective Goodwill.

Oh, I got it. Detective Goodwill Hunting? He's a janitor. I do need to see a scene. Is this mouse hunting? I gotta see a scene. Is this mouse hunting? I gotta see a scene. GBC, you are in need of help and you have hired Brendan who is, what was it, Detective? Detective Goodwill.

Detective Goodwill. Yeah, so as you can see, this is where my mother keeps her jewelry. I can see that. Just a little levity. I can see that. Ha ha ha ha. Just a little levity. I'm sorry she's dead. She looks like a fine woman. No, no.

Yeah, oh, I appreciate that. She is, she's not dead. She's alive. Oh! But her jewelry's missing. Oh, I should've been here. No, I heard you. I should've been here.

I only, I saw dead people. Oh. I'm sorry, Detective Goodwill. I was under the impression that you, this is a robbery, and you also did, you did robbery as well. I don't do that anymore. That's what I did when I was coming up, when I was a junior, Detective Goodwill. Now I only do bodies. They tell me stories.

The body still eats stories. Oh yeah, I got a thing. I sit with the body all night long and I kind of figure it out, me and the body. My mother was here when it, I'm not sure if you could do like an interview instead cause she's alive. She's alive? The thing on the bed?

Yikes. Am I talking too loud? No, no, she's awake. Mom, you're awake, right? Yeah, I'm awake. Oh. That's only happened once before. So I mean, I'm a little bit under the weather. I have a cold.

That's why I'm in bed. She's a cold. I didn't think I looked like a corpse. My jewelry got stolen. Are you close to dying? Oh, someone stole your jewelry. That's terrible, man. Yeah.

May I ask, have you been seeing any suitors? Um, no. I mean, my husband died a few years back and I've been kind of alone, lonely you could say since then. Let me ask you a question, when he passed, did he reach out and grab your jewelry off your neck and yank it into the grave with him? He did.

But that was years ago. Goodwill did it again. No, we got that back. That was, yeah, we got it out of the grave after he what are we missing now like a big pendant with your initials on it? Yeah, doggy dog Jane. Yeah Do they look like this oh Yeah, that's them. Oh my gosh. You're not gonna believe this when I came in here thinking I was looking for a dead body I done picked them up. I

Done picked them up put them on that's the thing I do detective work when you come in and you find the body It's that's a free go. You're allowed to take whatever you want. You like the Detective good. Oh, yeah, that's why you get into the detective game. My whole house is furnished with dead people's shit. Yeah, you're jingling and jangling. What else did you take from us, Detective Goodwill? I got these nipple rings that you had. I put those right in.

Didn't have piercings. I don't know. I don't think those are ours, Detective Goodwill. You're bleeding through your shirt. They're very cool. See, one of them's Smurfette, and the other one's Brighton Smurf. They're both Smurfette. Oh brother, okay. Imagine not feeling well. Imagine not feeling well.

Somebody comes in the room and says the thing calls you the thing on the bed. Man. Man, that's us. That. That would hurt my confidence. That would rattle me a little bit. There's a good chance that all of us one day will be a thing on the bed. Make sure that. Oh, that made me think, huh?

So I'm having a moment where I feel like I've jumped timelines after looking up what this middle movie is. And I'm going to let you guys know, but you're all a tiny bit older than me, so this might be familiar to you. I'll give you a hint, it came out in 1996. 26, we're all 26. You're all 26 and I'm 21.

This one, this movie came out in 1997. And I'll give you- And remind us the two movies again? Yes, the movies are The Great Mouse Detective to Good Will Hunting. Christopher Walken's in it. Nathan Lane is in it. Oh, The Birdcage. No.

Mouse Trap. Yeah, no, Mouse. Oh, Mouse Trap. Not Trap. Oh, Mouse. I feel like I know that Nathan Lane was in a mouse movie. Mouse Hunt? Yes, it's Mouse Hunt.

It's a slapstick black comedy. I do remember it. It's very funny. It is? Yeah, it is good. My kids remember it. It's very funny. It is? Yeah. My kids used to watch it all the time. Oh my God. It's like a Disney kind of thing.

Is that what it was? Yeah. It's like somebody buys a house and the mouse is very goofy. He makes them do silly things. I'm still talking about Detective Goombas. It looks like Home Alone with a Mouse. Huh. That was the pitch.

What was it? 97? Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. Okay, cool. I'd like to see a scene. Adel and Mark, you are in Mouse Hunt. And whatever your best guess at what that movie is, give me a scene from it.

Sure. All right. It's time to put all our cards on the table. Just give me a scene from it. Sure. All right, it's time to put all our cards on the table. We're both in love with this mouse. All right. Yeah. We got it. Yeah. We just have to be gentlemen about it.

One of us has to bow out. Okay. Well, I think it should be you. I think it should be you. Okay. Okay, let's maybe do like a pros cons list. So I'll go first. What I bring to the mouse would be steady job.

Oh, low blow, Dave. Low blow, right out of the gate. Fine, OK. I bring freedom and spontaneity. OK, interesting for a temp Ding dong did somebody order a pizza? Oh The mouse is here the mouse is here. Here we go. Here we go. I've got a pizza for one mister Jade to mouse

That's my best Christopher Walker by the way Okay let's open the door here Oh! Hi! Hello! Hello! I got a pizza You sound a lot like Detective Goodwill Yeah have you seen that movie?

Detective Goodwill? Detective Brother? Hurry up we got more pieces That's Nathan Lane. That's wait. Why is Nathan Lane driving you around? Do you not have a license? I lost my license Christopher you promised you had a head injury you had to say you had to you promised if you had a head injury you had to say it. You had to tell us if you had a head injury before coming on to set. Last night I was out with Al Pacino and De Niro and they hanged me one leg out of the other of an airplane.

I can't hear this excuse again Christopher Walken. Was it for a movie? Hey guys, hey guys, I feel like Walken has lost his step, right? You're telling me, he's driving me crazy. Nathan, oh Nathan, yeah, come on in here. Yeah, Nathan, you're doing great. You're, I mean, infallible. You're with him the most, I mean,

do you feel like maybe we should get him some help or something? He's just nonstop rambling, he's insane. He thinks the little blue dog I voiced on that cartoon here in 1997 is real. Tell us the name of the show. I can't remember. Teacher's pet. Teacher's pet, I think. Oh my God. Okay.

Do you guys remember when Sharna had that workshop where they taught people to come in and ruin improv scenes. Called walk on walk on walk on. Sweep at it. Walk on walk on. Christopher Walk-ons. Walkin' on. Christopher Walk-ons. I'm not kidding.

I know a thousand improvisers that would pay $300 to take that workshop from you guys. That's 100% a DCM show at like 2 a.m. Is Christopher Walk-ons? Or is it just? There was, and watching DC, my old improv group did walk-in-prov as part of a big 24 hour, yeah. Brandon, I wanna ask you a question, and I think I already know the answer,

but was Christopher Walk-on the pizza delivery man in the movie Mouse Hut? I don't remember. Okay, great. I only remember Nathan Lane being in it. I do not remember Christopher Walken, Sean. Was he the mouse? Maybe, could be.

Okay, we got a few more. The Land Before Time to The Devil Wears Prada. The Land Before Time to The Devil Wears Prada. This is another movie I'm unfamiliar with. Devil's Time, Time for the Devil. Didn't Im Night Shyamalan have a movie that was just called The Devil? Yeah, it's not that.

It's not that, okay. Did he really? Yeah, wasn't it Devil? Was that the elevator one? The Devil, was the elevator one? He had an elevator movie? Have I jumped timelines? Maybe he just produced it.

Maybe it wasn't one that he like written. Yeah, I think he wrote it and he was kind of on the bad end of things and he produced it. Yeah. But it was like called Devil Maybe. I know what you're talking about. Devil Maybe. Devil Maybe.

I think that might be with Ryan Reynolds, it's a rom-com. We couldn't decide if the elevator was stopped because of mechanical issues or if the devil was doing it. I don't know, I mean, this does look like the devil's handiwork, but it's an old elevator too. So.

I'm gonna give you this one, cause again, I don't know this movie. Before the devil knows you're dead. I've heard of this. I've heard of that one. You should be able to get this next one. Okay. Okay. This has two links in between, and they're both TV shows. And they're links in between, and they're both TV shows.

And they're both Star Wars. And they're both Star Wars. I'm gonna give you two movies, and then the interlink between them has to be two different TV shows. Okay. The movies are Men in Black and Girl Interrupted. Okay, what's New Girl is the show.

Is New Girl one of them? Oh, New Girl, okay. That New Girl is the one right before Girl Interrupted, so we need to do Men in Black. Orange is the New Black? Yes! Orange is nice. Nice! Got it. Okay, that's very good.

This one also has two chains. Back to the Future and 28 Weeks Later. Are they movies or TV shows there are movies okay back to this one kind of has a silly little thing in it is 20 20 dresses is that a movie 27 dresses so close and it's 28 days later 28 weeks later 28 weeks later but I'm saying that kind of as a hint so it's 28 days later? 28 weeks later. 28 weeks later. But I'm saying that kind of as a hint. So it's 28 days later, the connector? And then there's another connector before that.

And what was the first movie? Back to the Future. Back to the Future. Oh, what is Days of Future Past? Oh, that's an X-Men. Ooh, nice one. Nice, that was incredible. I'd like to see a scene.

You are all X-Men, and you're just like really hoping that your next movie is not a flop. I feel like we really need to like show our flaws. I feel like a lot of the movies we're doing, things are too sort of gussied up, bubs. That's easy for you to say, you're Wolverine. Snail Guy doesn't even show up in half of these comics. I don't even know why I hear, I think I'm a joke.

No, no, you're not a joke, you're- What, no, Snail Guy, you're comedic relief. That's totally different from being a joke. You're levity, you're the moment of levity. I am the joke. I am the joke. No, no, when you say snail trail, everyone loves it. Everyone loves it.

I don't think the kids are gonna get that one. And Brickwall, you impede so many paths. I know, but I feel like I just end up in front of stand-up comics in every scene. These movies are good. Can we say that? I know we're not good. My scenes aren't any good. Well, they're not supposed to be good. They're supposed to make, you know, they're supposed to turn a profit. They're profitable, you know. They're not supposed to be good. Can I quote you on that?

I mean, you can quote me. I'm just some asshole X-Men extra, you know? Nothing that I say makes any difference one way or the other don't say that megaphone. You're essential to the team No, come on. I bet most at most. I'm just you know. I'm a hype man basically Let's be honest guys. It's 1997 Who do you think is gonna have their own movie is it it gonna be Wolverine, the fucking Walguy, Megaphone, or Snail? It's gonna be Wolverine! It's gonna be Wolverine! It's a toss-up, toss-up for sure, toss-up for sure!

You think it's a toss-up? I think it's Wolverine! Hey sorry guys, I'm Walguy's agent. I don't mean to just walk on set like this, but you got it. Jerry's sign-phone. He called, he called. Oh, there we go. Congratulations.

Well, okay, I told you Deb. I don't want that gig. Haven't we had this conversation? This was an episode of Side Quil. The agent could never get him the right bookie. This is hilarious. I'm living his life. I mean, what an insult to injury right now. Didn't we have this talk?

This is what they mean about right what you know. Right what you know. so sorry to interrupt everyone? Snail guy it happens Snail Mary is getting made when you're a nun in witness protection snail Mary is happening. Oh Congratulations, wow great bully for you Bully for you. Oh wow, this is fantastic. Now that's a movie, now that's a movie. Yeah.

What do you mean you want better than Jerry Seinfeld? It's 1997, he's a god. I understand, do I have any dialogue or just stand there while he tells jokes in front of everybody? Well, there's going to be a spotlight on you and then his shadow is going to be on you. Oh great, kind of a spotlight on me. It sort of inadvertently gets shined on. Has anyone seen my agent?

Is my agent on set today or do they have any news? You have an agent? Or for Megaphone? It's an agency, I don't have a specific agent assigned to me but I'm with an agency, has anyone seen anyone from my agency? Sorry, is one of you Megaphone? Yes, yes, I'm Megaphone.

Hey, my name's Drew, I'm an intern. The agency sent me over. Oh, yes. They just wanted to make sure you were here. Yeah, I'm here. Okay. Okay. I drove myself today. Do you need a bottle of water? Do you need some gummy worms? You get three DUIs and suddenly they have Drew checking up on you at all times, at all hours of the day. Like after that I presume that Wolverine calls his agent. He's like, listen, everyone else is getting work. What else do I have to do? Do we want to keep going? Are you having fun with these? Should I switch it up and do something else? How are we feeling?

I love listening to you guys nail it. What's the next riddle? Is there another category? I can keep doing more of these two chain ones for a little bit, or I could switch to a different kind of riddle. All right, switch it up. Switch it up. All right, give me one second.

Okay. Okay, I thought you'd be prepared. This is switching up music. You know, ask if you wanna switch up and they'd be like, okay, well, I guess I clocking into your different job right now. I have a new portal that I have to access. These are from Zev from Toronto.

Let's go to leave my apartment. I want another little round with you. I actually think I'm good on rounds. I think yeah,

What I would think I would want to do is maybe get like a little breakfast in me because you go very hard. I'll say it this way, you go very hard and it's not always the most. Thank you.

Thank you. I'm not sure if we're, are you open to feedback or at all? Oh God, oh God, this always happens. You'd break it up with me? Well, no. That's the good news is that we're feedback or at all? Oh god, oh god, this always happens. You break it up with me? Well, no. That's the good news is that we're not together at all. So it doesn't need to be a breaking up. I can be soft.

I think anyone and everyone can find love. I hope that I can find love one day. Write a song about me one day, Billy Joel. No way Billy Joel didn't fuck up Jack Hammer.

That is historically accurate. You can sue us. That's what that had to be a big shot was about. Wow. That's what it was like. that had to be a big shot was about. Wow. That's one of those like, uh... It had to be a big shot. It's like the...

Rod Stewart and like the gerbil stories, but they're like, yeah, Billy Joel fucked a jackhammer. That's just... Everybody knows that. That's public health. Was Rod Stewart out of gerbil story? I remember the Richard Gere. The Richard Gere one is fake. Rod Stewart had something else. How do you know it's fake? Wait, what did they do? Rod Stewart had like his stomach pumped or something.

Oh yeah, he had so much. But wait, you believe that one, but you don't believe the Richard Gere one. No, they're all fake. They're all fake. They're all, I gotta be fake. Richard Gere, yeah. Back in the 90s,

Don't look into it, Aaron. When there was no social media, there was two rumors flying around the US. One was that Richard Gere put a gerbil up his butt and it got stuck. The other was that Rod Stewart had to go to the hospital to get his stomach pumped and they found like 16 gallons of semen.

I also heard that about Billy Idol. It was just a... They also tried to throw that on Jewel in the 2000s. I actually heard that about you in college. Aaron, Casey says, Aaron, you literally learned this on an ep like three months ago. Well, my brain's working great

because I actively forgot it. It sounds like my brain's taking really good care of me. This is also the same rumor that went through every single middle school, which is one person was masturbating in the bathroom and the frozen hot dog routine. This is the same thing. The same song and dance?

Same song and dance, you just switch the names out. And if that was you in middle school, right? And send some medals. Hripodcasts.gmail.com. Is that what Mousehound was about? Was someone putting a mouse up a butt? Mountain Dew makes your penis small. I mean, there's so many great rumors swirling.

Chris for walking put that mouse up his butt, I bet. Richard Gere and Rod Stewart in Gerbil Hunt. Make like a jackhammer and hit the road. Hit the road. Yeah, that's what they do. Make like Team Rocket and. Team Rocket? I know this is blast off. that's what they do. They hit the road. Make like Team Rocket and. Team Rocket? I know this is Blast All.

That's a Pokemon thing. I know that, my son would be proud. Blast up again. Get him in here. Call him at school, let's pick him up. Yeah, get him in here. Make like a banana and. Split. Split.

Classic. Make like a baby and. Grow up. Shooch your diaper. Yeah. Let's make like a baby, eh? We're people. Yeah, it's like, it's a French tourist trying to have sex.

Yeah. Let's make like a baby. Make like a baby. Make like a baby and, yeah. Grow up. What do they do, scream, shit? Nap. This is kind of like a baby and yeah. Grow up. What do they do, scream, shit? Nap. This is kind of like a.

And head out. Do you like that one, guys? Do we love it? Do we like it or love it? Those are the only options. You look like a baby and eat a little bit of myconium before you head out. Yes, I'm gonna say like if those are my two options.

Yeah. Okay, great. Perfect. All right, let me pick up some. How many categories do you have? I mean, at your disposal? Because I've heard you all do. Yeah. What would you get? What would you guys say? And what are your favorites? I feel like, I feel like the question was supposed to you, Aaron. I don't know how I'm supposed to answer that. Oh, I just mean, I feel like in general,

there's probably like, 25 different types of riddles and puzzles that we cycle through. We sourced a lot of riddles and lateral thinking problems from books, and then that well started to dry up. So then listeners started to send us their homebrewed games and they're a little different from straight up riddles, which we appreciate.

That's very cool. I'm glad you appreciate it. I'm just joking. Just had to take a jab. I am going to try to find some of my favorite kinds. Give me one second. I'm going to do the some of my favorite kinds. Okay. Give me one second. I'm gonna do the crossword while we wait.

Mark, your wife would be mad. Now let's say that, while Aaron's doing that, let's say brick wall and snail man team up. What kind of crimes are they fighting? Who are they fighting? What's what's the arch nemesis of a brick wall and a snail? I feel like a brick wall and snow actually kind of go well together on a cold night. It's like with nail with nail and I brick wall and snail.

I feel like that's I think it's like, yes, stopping petty crimes. So like the guy tries to steal some shoes off the back porch. The wall's there to stop them. And the snail is there to kind of gross them out for a little bit. Yeah. And everybody's moving really slowly. So our, our arch nemesis would be like a glacier or like a stop like train or something, is this, is this a riddle?

You ever hear that thing about like, you could have a billion dollars, but for the rest of your life, a snail is chasing after you, and if it ever catches you, you die. So then like your whole existence is just to be like, the snail never stops moving, it never stops coming from you,

it always knows where you go. So basically your life is like flying from New York to Los Angeles. I would take that deal. Yeah, you would do, you would go for it? Oh yeah, big time. Yeah, you just moved to LA and it's not gonna get ya. But the thing is, is eventually it comes.

It's like a family friendly It Follows. But there are so many things in the world that can kill a snail, like a snail trying to get to LA. This snail cannot be killed, this guy. He cannot be killed.

That's a little puzzle. Murder shirter. That definitely rhymes. I do want to see one final scene to sort of take us out.

Brendan, you just said murder shirter? Murder shirter. Murder shirter. Murder shirter, sorry. This is murder shurter being recorded by the Traveling Wilburys. Of course, Brennan, you are Tom Petty. Aaron, you'll be Bob Dylan.

We'll have Mark B. George Harrison and JPC either Roy Eberson or Jeff Lynn. Right. Mm-hmm. That was fucked up, you guys, throwing me out that airplane. Shut up and sing. Ha. One and a two on a one and a two. Chica chica chica chica chica chica.

Hey, can I just say, I feel like my talents are being wasted on the tambourine. Would it be okay if I could pick up another instrument? I've been tambourine, I've been tambourine. There's a living life around. Murder Center care. And Murder Center looking at me. Wearing all my honey bees. Coming back to their knees. Everyone was there. Sorry, this is um this is Kyle in the studio. Just real quick, can we not have Dylan and Petty back to back? I just feel like when I mix this, it's going to sound insane.

What are you talking about, man? George, you're up. I'll try my best. My Liverpool accent is the same as my Bob Dylan accent, just parenthetically. I'm so tired of murdering children. I'm not gonna go up to give. His eyes are his eyes are his eyes are

Okay everybody give it a shot. It's really fun. Everybody sing it. One, two, three, four. I'm so tired of murdering children. Hey Kyle, hands up, easy, easy. Hey, Kyle, Kyle, everyone is the people of the Traveling Wilbur race. It's not Kyle the technician.

I'm sorry. Come on. Please. Thank you so much for coming on the show. It was a blast. What do you have to plug? Our pleasure. Where did we find ya?

We have a show called The Traveling Dillons. Everybody plays Bob Dylan. Oops, Traveling Dillons. Everybody plays Bob Dylan. Oops, I'll do it. We do have a podcast called Get It to Dutch, a screenwriter's journey, which you can check out anywhere you get your podcasts. It's so good. Listen to that.

Yeah, I will say it's one of, I very much enjoy listening to podcasts. It's one of the few podcasts, maybe there's been five or six all time that have made me laugh out loud. Like, rewinding constantly because I'm laughing so hard, I'm missing stuff, so. That's so nice. High praise, thank you.

Hard agree. Could not recommend it more. Thank you so much. That is, get it to Dutch. Anything else to plug, promote? If you're in LA and we're doing shows, come see us. Follow us at Cook County Social Club on some sort of Instagram or whatever. I'm barely on it anymore.

Then yell at the artistic directors at your local improv theaters and say, you have to have Cook County Social Club come to your town, only because Brendan loves to travel. Oh, I'm so good at it. I'm gonna go to I.O. and go into Plok and be like, hey Plok, I got the inside line. You ever heard of Cook County Social Club? Let them know. You should have them.

And if you're anything like me, go to youtube.com and watch all of Cook County Social Club's improv shows that are online. When you guys did Cage Match in like 2014 because I watched all of them before I moved to Chicago. I went, this is how I'm gonna learn how to do improv. That's great, did it help? I think it genuinely helped a lot.

Couldn't hurt. Mm-hmm. Sorry, guys. Yeah, thank you. There's a show on there that is you guys finding 15 different reasons why someone got left at the altar. And it's probably the best improv show I've ever seen.

So look at that. Momulate holiday. Wow. Wow, good theory. What about you, Adil? Anything to plug? I highly recommend go back and listen to Handel with Care by the Traveling Wilburys.

Roy Orbison's voice cuts through all the other mumbling and it's just such a, Roy Orbison was just, what a treat and a treasure. Go back and listen to his stuff. He was the guy that all that group looked up to. He was the intimidated guy, which is amazing. There's also a black and white concert that's Roy Orbison, Tom Waits, Bruce Springsteen,

someone else, but try and find that online. It's a very good, very good live special concert. JPC, do you have anything to plug or promote? Yeah I am I'm stepping in as the new producer for World News Tonight at I.O. so that's every Saturday at 8 p.m. so if you're in Chicago and you want to see a show on a Saturday night at 8 p.m. under those very specific circumstances come and see World News. Awesome. Erin, anything to plug? Nah, I got nothing. Good, good stuff.
