Starting point is 00:00:41 I don't know if people have been checking in. If we say any nonsense before the recording. And honestly, I support it, Casey, it's funny. It's funny when you do that. All right. But this comes out so far in the future that George Santos is probably, he's already probably like found dead in his jail cell, so we love the word. And same with us as well, probably.
Starting point is 00:01:01 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey. Oh, the Denver Goldfish. with us as well probably. Excuse me, are you here to see the live taping of the Hey Riddle Riddle podcast? Yes, I am. I have a ticket here. Great.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Thank you so much. Very excited. And I'm actually in the show. Oh, Mr. Raffae, it is always a pleasure. Please, my friends call me Shokey. Oh, um, isn't that your dad's name? Did you know that? What's that?
Starting point is 00:01:56 Isn't that your dad's name? Isn't that my dad's name? Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking you questions, because you're asking the questions today. Is that my dad's name? Huh? Is that my dad's name? I think so. What shouldn't be asking you questions because you're the you're asking the questions today, huh? Is that my dad's name? I think so. What's my middle name? Shokey? Okay But I think in Arab culture sometimes your dad's name becomes your middle name
Starting point is 00:02:17 Sometimes in Arab cultures your dad's name becomes your middle name. So I have my ticket pulled up and I'm just sort of waiting for you to scan Ma'am, I'm talking to one of the stars of the show. I don't wanna interrupt you, I just also, I kinda have to pee, so. So I get a middle name, and then somehow my dad's name becomes my middle name? Mm-hmm. So my dad shows the name Shokey, and then it was like, oh fuck, I forgot.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Now, I'm called Shokey. Can I just walk in? No. So you can see my tickets on my phone. No, because you have to be photographed next to, we actually brought in some penguins and put them in baseball gear, just as like a fun stunt. The penguins are actually biting a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:02:56 but we do have to look at the photo. Yeah, they look really upset. They're pissed. Wait a second, in the email, the penguins are supposed to be dead. These are supposed to be stuffed penguins. Ma'am, I see your face. We weren't gonna kill penguins. These are existing the penguins are supposed to be dead. These are supposed to be stuffed penguins. Ma'am, I see your face. We weren't gonna kill penguins.
Starting point is 00:03:06 These are existing dead penguins. Why are you using air quotes when you tell me this? Oh shit, I forgot that people can see me in real life. Usually I just do that on the podcast that I get away with. Okay, can we give her the dead penguin treatment? Can we? Make way, make way. Well, my name is Aaron and I'm here to say make way
Starting point is 00:03:30 Actually, I am gonna head home. I Can't do this man. I can't no no co-host Aaron Keefe is right behind you. Yeah, I know see you guys later Well, that was rude. I was kind of crazy and rude. Hey, JPC's here. JPC, hey. Wow. What's name's JPC? JPC calling something crazy and rude,
Starting point is 00:03:52 it really must have been crazy and rude. Where do I park my horse? Right here. Well, disclosure, the horse is horny. Puts out fist. Park your horse right here, puts out fist. That is something Addle would say. Yeah. Yes, Addle would say,
Starting point is 00:04:09 fisting a horse, of course. You know what JPC would say? JPC would say, hey, it's JPC, welcome to Hey, Riddler Riddler, that's Addle. And over there is Aaron Keefe. Help. No, no, no, no, no help for you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:21 No help for you. You know what? From today's episode, call me Shokey. Okay. No, help for you. You guys, go ahead. From today's episode, call me Shokey. Okay. Call me Shokey. Erin, what were you gonna say? I love that song. When the sun, I love that song.
Starting point is 00:04:35 I was going to say, I had one of the best nights of my life recently. Oh. Wait, Erin, was this the magical 24 hours that we spent together? Oh, no. Oh wait Erin was this the magical 24 hours that we spent together? Oh no. Oh. I actually contacted a priest after those 24 hours and I asked him if hell could be on earth and he said yes. Hey if you could call someone you should have called a locksmith to get those fucking handcuffs off okay I don't know I don't know why you weren't calling anybody. You think I had a great time? Me handcuffed to Erin on her phone the whole fucking time.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Yeah, to try to Google how to get out of handcuffs. Try to Google. All right then. Whatever. How was your night? Whatever. So I went, and Adolf, you would have loved this. I went to a community theater production of Cats.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I took an edible and I went to a community theater production of Cats. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. I took an edible and I went and I had, I beamed up to space is what happened. And now Cats is stuck in my head. It was, it was so fun. The people, I went with like seven people and everyone just decided to have the time of their lives. And everyone, we were all dancing, we were enthusiastic.
Starting point is 00:05:46 We bought cat ears for $3. Oh, at the place, at the show? At the show. Wow, smart. You guys, it was a jellicle ball. I had the time of my life. I did. A lot of these seven people I had not met before.
Starting point is 00:06:05 And two moments happened that made me laugh so hard. At the intermission, I was like, I was the only one who was like really high, right? Everyone else was sort of high on life. And they're like, well, you're plugged into something that we probably can't see in this production. And I was like, yeah, I mean, I'm really in it. I really feel like they're cats or cats.
Starting point is 00:06:24 The matrix. But also I was like, I, I mean, I'm really in it. I really feel like they're cats or cats. The matrix. But also I was like, I feel like I know what choreography is coming next. I'm experiencing time in sort of a different way. Wow. Currently. So I felt like if anyone were to have gotten hurt, I would have known what to do.
Starting point is 00:06:38 So I was sort of on that level. And at the intermission, this woman- Wait a second. Yeah. What does that mean? Well, me on the someone gets hurt, you know what, are you saying like you know cat CPR? What's going on? No, no, like if someone were to get hurt on stage
Starting point is 00:06:52 I could take over for them. Oh, you could, okay, gotcha. Oh, okay, that makes sense. That's the big concern. Have you ever seen. I'm a vet. Like a live event if someone gets hurt on stage, the big concern is how do we keep the show going? Yes, of course.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Well, I'm a vet so I could treat the cats that are on the stage. A woman that I had not met before, I'm in a row of people, and everyone's like, who's your favorite cat? And I go, well, right now, I think it's Mongo, Jerry, and Rumpletizza, and she went, huh? Wait, this is a- Did she mean like breed,
Starting point is 00:07:22 or what did she mean? No, like a cat in the show, but I like mumble generally. And then also I said those words and I felt so neck exposed, embarrassed and I was like, no, you're right. The sounds I'm making are nonsense sounds. Aaron, say those two names again, as if you are high out of your mind. Who are your favorite cats?
Starting point is 00:07:43 Right now it's probably mumble, Jerry and Drumple Teezus. Okay, I hear it. Yeah. Mumbo, Jerry and Drumple Teezus. It made me laugh. I have not stopped thinking about her going, huh? I was like, yeah, that makes sense. Cause I'm saying nonsense words.
Starting point is 00:07:59 What is a Jellicle choice, Erin? A Jellicle ball. What is a Jellicle choice? I don't know what a Jellicle choice is. Cause don't at the Jellicle ball? What is a Jellicle choice? I don't know what a Jellicle choice is. Cause don't, at the Jellicle ball, don't they make a Jellicle choice? Oh, well they're choosing who gets to go to heaven and they're deciding with cat.
Starting point is 00:08:16 Is that the Sophie's choice reference? And there's a cat that's like a bajillion years old that's like an acting cat. Oh, Dan Judy did. That Ian McKellen played in the movie. Acting cat, so what does that mean? Like the cat got sick and they're like, okay, we're gonna designate you acting cat.
Starting point is 00:08:31 He's like a lone survivor? He did plays and stuff. And his introduction, he's like literally begging to die. He's like, I'm so old, I've been around for so long. But then they send the cat that used to be beautiful, but now is ugly and old. James Judi Dench. No, James Judi Dench does not die at the end. It's like the Jennifer Hudson cat,
Starting point is 00:08:53 who sings memory, gets sent to heaven at the end of the show. It's cats. You guys, it's cats. They all introduce themselves, and then one of the cats goes to heaven. Based on a book of poems. Cats.
Starting point is 00:09:05 You forget that because like LA is like where the professionals go to do, you know, acting in the movies and the TV shows, that they also have community theater there as well. It seems like the one place in the world where you wouldn't need that. Cause you're like, whatever community you did the theater in, you leave that and then you come to LA to do the other thing.
Starting point is 00:09:26 But it's fun because it exists everywhere. They're not getting paid. So it's people who have, like, other jobs. That is fun. You know. That's so cool. Aaron, that's so cool. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Here's what I think. I think LA is so cool. It's fun. They like it. They like it there. That's not what I meant. That's not what I meant. It's fun for them because they don't get any money for it. So it's like play. It. It's fun for them because they don't get any money for it. So it's like play.
Starting point is 00:09:45 It's like all play for them. Erin, you sound like Hitler. Casey, beep Hitler. Don't let me be saying Hitler. Erin, you sound like Hitler. Go to the zoo with Erin and she's like, the monkeys are so happy. This is like their natural habitat.
Starting point is 00:10:00 They're thrilled. No, I'm saying this is not something that like actors who are like, they're not trying, this is not like actors who are working in LA. They're like. Wow. You guys get what I'm saying. They're doing it for the love of the game.
Starting point is 00:10:13 They love it. Wow. Ugh. I'm digging in a deeper, deeper hole. I get it, I hear it. I think LA is so saturated with success and celebrity that it's gone back the other way. Because it's like you can walk into any restaurant
Starting point is 00:10:28 and see John Ham and Rosie Perez clinking glasses. They love restaurants, those two. They love little dums. Big restaurant heads. So when you can see anybody you have ever seen in your life anywhere on the street, it's now fun to go see like bad productions. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yeah. But I will say, when the hottest guy from your hometown. Go ahead. When the hottest guy from your hometown moves to LA. Clark. Everyone can't be next to there. So that means it's Clark.
Starting point is 00:11:00 So that means now they have to have like the hottest guy you've ever seen digging holes and stuff. Cause you're like, we gotta have a guy digging holes. And've ever seen digging holes and stuff because you're like we gotta have A guy digging holes and you know, you're it doesn't matter that you're like a hot good-looking guy You got to dig holes and I got a bunch a whole town full of hot guys digging holes Shia LaBeouf Shia LaBeouf Truly digging his own hole For a while now if you were in that production, thank you for a great night of theater
Starting point is 00:11:22 I think it has got to be my top three favorite nights in LA. Wow. I had the best time. Okay. I'll be a patron of this theater moving forward. I would like to see, you know, let's harken back to classic comedies like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
Starting point is 00:11:39 I wanna see a movie that's Erin Keefe high out of her mind. And the whole movie is just her trying to make it through the night. And at some point she gets wrapped up into a community theater production of cats. Somebody gets injured, she has to go on. It's a show stopper standing o. Yeah, what's right this movie?
Starting point is 00:11:57 You think I could win an Oscar for this? No. No? So Seth Rogen grew up and now we don't get to see screwball weed comedies anymore? No. We should still get him. We just need a new Seth Rogen. He can't do don't get to see screwball weed comedies anymore? No! We should still get him! We just need a new Seth Rogen.
Starting point is 00:12:07 He can't do it, he's got gray hair. But we need... We need screwball weed comedies. Yeah... Uh... It's me. I'm the new Seth Rogen. I'm obviously the natural successor.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Okay, well... Erin, let's hear your goofy ass laugh. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, that'll do. That'll do. Wow.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Damn. Anyways. She looked like Dave Franco, but she laughed like Seth Rogen, the full package. Just like Dave Franco, Erin. What's up, guys? Riddles, puzzles, lateral thinking problems or? She's reading our description.
Starting point is 00:12:47 She's reading the description of the podcast. Three Chicago comedians who are friends, no. We gotta update that. Hasn't been true in a long time. I had an embarrassing, what I thought would be like a fun moment but turned out to be kind of an embarrassing moment upstairs just moments ago. Well, we have a nanny that comes in a couple times a week,
Starting point is 00:13:09 mostly because I only work a little bit a week, and so I need somebody to cover me when I'm working. But I was coming downstairs to, I was getting a coffee and coming downstairs to get a coffee. And I saw that our nanny was drinking out of a coffee mug that said, world's best dad. And I said, oh, interesting. So you're the world's best dad, huh? And she said, well, the only other mug in there said, don't talk to me until I've had my mug full of piss.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And I said, OK, well, you know, I did forget. Back to work. I got to go. I was like, exit stage right. And I could proudly say, I think I bought you that mug. And I did say to her, I did forget. Back to work. I gotta go. I was like, exit stage right. And I could proudly say, I think I bought you that mug. And I did say to her, I did say, just so we're clear, I have never purchased a mug. All of the mugs in this house are mugs
Starting point is 00:13:54 that people gave to me. That's worse. That means people were thinking about you specifically when they gave you a mug. That's not necessarily what that means. I can't stress enough. I think our merch store would be wildly successful if we combine those two ideas and made world's piss dad.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Because world's number one dad, what is number one? Peeing, world's piss dad. World's piss dad. What about a cup that says world's best dad and there's a little asterisk and then the cup on the other side says at drinking piss. All right, look in our merch store today, that should be up everybody.
Starting point is 00:14:26 If you want to report us to T-public. I'm the world's best at drinking piss dad. I honestly could be the best at that. That seems like a low bar. There can't be a lot of those, right? Oh, you'd be surprised. The world is a horrible, horrible, horrible place. Let me just type in piss drinking daddies
Starting point is 00:14:43 and see what I get. Okay, hold on, gotta make some bookmarks for later. This is exactly at my own. Addle, he's being a pervert again. Erin, that's his. That's your brand. Wait, what? What? Wait, what?
Starting point is 00:14:57 When Addle was in the old timey British Navy, he did get the perverts brand, which is exactly what you think. We're so happy for you. We had a little song too. British Navy, he did get the Perverts brand, which is exactly what you think. We're so happy for you. We had a little song too. Well, we're Perverts and we're British, which is nothing but the same.
Starting point is 00:15:14 They're synonymous. An island full of nunces. This is your first runoff. Great. An island full of nunces. This is your first run-off. Great. Island full of nunces. Here we go. Two arms. I'm old man puzzles. If it wasn't fucking obvious, here's one of your puzzles.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Two arms, no hands, one head, no mouth, one chest, no heart, one back, no spine, one body, not mine. This is what a doctor says on trial. It's not a book. It's not a clock. Not a book, not a clock. This also sounds like it could be like a Bob Marley song, right? Like, two arms, no head.
Starting point is 00:16:00 No woman, no head. No woman, no head. No woman, no head. What is the message of that? Best not to look too far into what... No woman, no head. Can you read it one more time? Two arms, no hands. Okay, so two arms, no hands. One head, no mouth. One chest, no heart.
Starting point is 00:16:22 One back, no spine. One body, not mine. Wait, what was the heart one? You cut out for the heart part. One chest, no heart. I didn't do shit, Aaron. You cut out. Sorry. Aaron, apologize.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I'm sorry, JPC. It was Aaron. It was probably one chest, no heart. One chest, no heart. Is this the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Oh God, I wish. Um, is it, is the kind of chest like a treasure chest type thing? Is this the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Oh God, I wish. Is it, is the kind of chest, like a treasure chest type thing?
Starting point is 00:16:50 No, it's not. Is it still okay to watch the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Because Johnny Depp sucks, but he's like playing such a larger than life character in that. I feel like it's fine, right? I feel like there's other good parts of the movie.
Starting point is 00:17:03 What, the Orlando Bloom parts? No, the McKenzie Crook parts. McKenzie Crook, of course, garrothed in the original office. Wow. I think it's a Commodore. Who has one of the funniest lines in all of sitcom history, which is,
Starting point is 00:17:18 do you ever think there will be a boy born who swims faster than a shark? I think it's probably okay to watch. Boy born who swims faster than a shark I Think it's probably okay to watch You just have to tell if you're watching with a child you have to be like that guy actually is a bad man Yeah, that guy's a bad man. He took a shit on someone's bed or it was the opposite It doesn't actually matter but whatever happened. It was fucked up Be just pointing out actors he was actually in a fucked up situation.
Starting point is 00:17:46 James Spader? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You see Ultron? Ultron actually had some trauma. Ultron actually tied up his secretary.
Starting point is 00:17:56 So James, can we get a little hint? Okay. This is an inanimate object. Two arms, no hands. One head, no mouth. One chest inanimate object. Two arms, no hands. One head, no mouth. One chest, no heart. One back, no spine. One body, not mine.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Is like a chair? It's not a chair, Erin. That's a great- Is this like a CPR dummy? No, they have heads. They do have heads. A car. Otherwise it'd be hard to do the CPR. You could just do a chest compression dummy.
Starting point is 00:18:23 They don't need a head. But you gotta do that part where you blow into the CPR. You could just do a chest compression dummy. They don't need a head. But you gotta do that part where you blow into the mouth. It's not a car, but CPR dummy is not closest, but it's, no. Mannequin. I was gonna say it's on the right track, but it's not, no, it's not closest.
Starting point is 00:18:36 A lot of mannequins don't have heads. Wouldn't it be funny if the movie Mannequin was made, but it's with one of those mannequins that doesn't have a head? And it's just a body, it's just an hour and a half rom-com of a body running around, stumbling into things. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And then they finally kill her.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That's a horror movie. It's a horror movie. That is a horror movie. Does anyone remember, first of all, I haven't seen Weekend at Bernie's in decades. I remember, do you even remember when like- We should add it to the review crew. No, that's right. Pizza places used to do like deals
Starting point is 00:19:10 where you like order a pizza and they also, it came with a movie. Do you guys remember that? Oh yeah, yes. So I think it was like, I don't know where it was, Papa John's Pizza. I remember as a kid, there was a pizza deal that came with a copy of Weekend at Bernie's two or three.
Starting point is 00:19:26 And I think I watched that one, whatever sequel to Weekend at Bernie's, I think I watched that one. I never watched the original Weekend at Bernie's, but I was familiar enough with it. But what I don't remember is Bernie in various states of like decomposition, like the more of those movies that they make,
Starting point is 00:19:42 is he just like dead or dead or dead? No, they can't do that. But that would be unwatchable. But the whole movie's a screwball comedy with a corpse. I remember my first time going to New York ever and seeing a Broadway show, we went and saw Lain Strich at Liberty, which is like
Starting point is 00:19:57 Lain Strich's one-woman show. And she kissed me after the show, which is another story in a picture. Right behind me, my friend and I had balcony seats right behind us with Jonathan Silverman. I think his name was? The guy from Weekend of Birdies? Oh, the... Not Bernie. Not Birdie.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Got it. One of the two guys. One of the two guys. But we saw him and we thought it was so funny we had better seats than him. And so we just kept being like, how's your weekend? And we thought it was so funny to just like keep saying weekend and kind of like side glance at him. He seemed pretty miserable.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Probably because shit head's like me. Yeah. It's so funny. Okay, so yeah, it's not a mannequin and it's not a corpse, two arms, no hands. Oh my God, we're still doing this hands. I do want to see a scene. JBC you are You work in a department store. It's after midnight
Starting point is 00:20:53 Erin you're a mannequin that JBC has just somehow brought to life through like a magical hat he put on you or something Oily shit it worked Whoa, oh hey, uh something. Oily shit it worked. Whoa. Oh, hey, well, hey, my name is Jeff. Don't be alarmed. Hey Jeff, before you say anything, we are conscious all the time. So even when we're not talking, I can sort of see and hear
Starting point is 00:21:20 what you do. Okay. So before you say anything else know that I've seen and heard everything you've done. Okay, okay. So a lot of times what I'm doing is I'm listening to podcasts and it's not even me saying that. I'm just like, I'm just kind of absently saying the things that the podcasts are saying.
Starting point is 00:21:36 So it's like, they're not even my thoughts. And honestly, I should- Are you stealing from the store is... Oh, that's it, that's all you? That's all you, yeah. No, I steal from the store. Yeah, that's all you that's all you know yeah no I steal from the store yeah that's fine okay cool no yeah that's fine okay just stealing from the store and you dance with the mannequins at night okay what am I gonna do not dance with the mannequins at night like I'll never be a better dancer if I don't practice you know and you're so you're mad your marriage is over absolutely over yeah

I'm sorry I feel like I'm interrupting you you brought me to life for a reason can't wait to find out what it was What's going on? Hey, so in the movie weekend at boimini's does he put me back to see what's that? Put me back to sleep You sounds like a newsie in that scene deep Boy bringing a mannequin back to life to ask questions about a movie.
Starting point is 00:22:48 They're like, hey man, all I've seen is Inside the Sears. Okay, so it's not mannequin, but mannequin is close and it's in the same room that a mannequin would be in. You probably find this. Great deals on tops. No, but it's in the same room that a mannequin would be in. You probably find this. Great deal. Hanger. On tops? Addle?
Starting point is 00:23:08 It's not a great deal on a top, but- It's a top. It's a shirt. It is specifically- It's a t-shirt. The answer here is specifically a type of clothing that is a top. I don't know that it-
Starting point is 00:23:22 A blouse. No, I don't know that it matters. Iouse. No, I don't know that it matters. I think a t-shirt works for this. Yeah, cause it doesn't, I don't think it says, oh, I guess it says one head, no mouth. And that's the only part where I think it would matter that this is something that has something. It's a hoodie, yes.
Starting point is 00:23:39 It's a hoodie. Otherwise I think it could be a t-shirt, but I think the fact that there is a hood with like the empty head there means... Do you call the top of a t-shirt where it opens up the mouth of the shirt? No. No? Call it the neck hole.
Starting point is 00:23:54 The neck, just the neck? I need another, I need to cleanse the palate. I need another riddle quickly. That one made me feel not good. Here's your second riddle. End weakened at Bernie's three. No. Oh boy. Okay. There's a third one?
Starting point is 00:24:09 There must be a third one. They wouldn't have stopped at two, right? He's just a skeleton for that one, right? Too much craplift on the vine. The people he's talking to are like, that's clearly a dead man between the two of you. And they're like, no, no, no, Hawaiian shirt. It was also like the eighties.
Starting point is 00:24:23 And I think that the man who played Bernie, I think he got like seriously hurt. I think he was like doing a lot of those stunts too. Yeah, I think it was like bad. JPC, I'm begging you to give me some good news. All right, here's your next riddle. My home is often loud. Oh, fucking tell me about it,
Starting point is 00:24:40 cause I'm in it, but I am quiet. My home is always moving, but I move faster. If I am brought from my home into your home, I will not live. If you leave your home and stay too long in my home, you will not live. Fish. Shark. Whale.
Starting point is 00:24:57 It is a fish in a river. Wow. OK, I do want to see a scene. Wait, is that true? It's a fish in a river. Yeah, I think it's because my home is often loud, but I am quiet. My home is often moving, but I move faster. Yeah, want to see a scene. Wait, is that true? It's a fish in a river. Yeah. What? I think it's because my home is often loud, but I'm quiet. My home is often moving, but I move faster.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah. Fish swim in the river. So you bring a freshwater fish into your house, it dies? Yeah. I'm assuming if you don't put it in water, if you just like bring it into your house, unless you have a water house. What? I think those are called aquariums. Yeah, but you don't live in an aquarium. Okay, I wanna see a scene.
Starting point is 00:25:27 You don't know that. Have you ever walked into someone's house and seen a freshwater salmon in an aquarium tank? I wanna see a scene. Aaron Adle has just purchased a new house and he's having you over. He's very excited you're bringing a housewarming gift, but you quickly realize that he is living
Starting point is 00:25:46 in an aquarium store, like a pet store. Claire, oh my gosh, thank you so much for coming. Oh my gosh, I brought pie. Ooh, yum, yum, yum, what kind? Sorry, are we gonna walk down to your place or? I'm sorry, what kind? Yes, I guess you did ask the question first apple apple yum maybe that's what kind of pie are we gonna walk down to your place this is my
Starting point is 00:26:14 house this is my house let me give you the grand toile I guess those words are already French I didn't need to do that. Huh. Um, here is, these are walls, clear walls. Sorry. No, no, you're right. You're probably, this is probably fine. That's what I was saying. Here's my walls. No, I'm gonna say it.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I know, you know, I, we're all being patient with you post divorce, but I actually do need to, what is this? We're all being patient with you post divorce? Yeah, the friend group, we're all like, just really trying to be happy for you when you're trying to get back on your feet. We're all really worried about you. It's like, seems pretty dire.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Trying to be happy for me? You know, Emily is really sweet and we will all really get along with Emily. You know what I mean? We all like really love Emily, but no, please. So we were saying? I was saying these are my glass walls. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Obviously the water behind it. Yeah, I'm gonna go. Fuck. Can I just say something? Sure. I've always loved you. Oh yeah. I want you to live in my aquarium.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Yeah, you're wearing snorkel goggles and well wet and matted to your forehead. I took a box cutter and tried to open up some gills on me and that went pretty bad. Yeah, I'm gonna pick Emily. Hold on. Hold on. I'm picking Emily. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. No. No. Watch me swim. Watch me swim. Okay. Let me get up this ladder into my walls. I'm down the block. Rrrr, rrrr, rrrr, rrrr.
Starting point is 00:27:50 See. Man found dead swimming in fish tank. Ha ha ha ha. Contortionist grabbing your body into a big fish tank. Ha ha ha. Did you guys ever fish growing up? Maybe once. I went fishing two or three times.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Only caught, I've only caught bluegill. Okay. Which if you're familiar with Midwest fish, not a prize. What about owning a fish tank? Did you have like a fish tank in the house? Oh yeah, big time. Oh yeah, big time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:19 We had some, what are those, beta, beta fish? I guess I had one. Would you ever now, as an adult, consider having a fish tank? Never really in years. That's so crazy. We had a fish tank growing up as well, but I can't think of a thing that I would rather do
Starting point is 00:28:33 less than have fish in my house. The smell is weird, it's high maintenance, you gotta take them out and put the right temperature in a bag and then clean the tank. It's so much work. Cleaning an aquarium is the most laborious process I've ever been a part of. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:48 And it's like, you don't really get much out of it unless people are like super into fish or whatever. And maybe it's one of those things where it's like seeing them brightens your day and you know, God love you and whatever, like that's fine. It's just so crazy that like, I know a lot of people that had fish as kids and they're like, why did we do that?
Starting point is 00:29:04 Why was that something that happened in our house? Yeah, can fish love you back? I don't know. No, they forget. Every three seconds, they forget who you are. I don't think I've walked into a house and seen a fish bowl, an aquarium, fish tank in 25 years. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Literally, truly, I have not seen a home aquarium or fish bowl in 25 years. Adel,, I have not seen a home aquarium or fish bowl in 25 years. Battle, I don't think I have either. One of my first apartments that I ever lived on, it was next to two businesses. And the business was an aquarium store in a sub shop. And we went to this submarine sandwich shop, like the first day that we lived in this apartment.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And the food was absolutely disgusting. We never saw anyone in either business. And I lived there for a year. And we were like, these both have to be front businesses. Like they must just be money laundering businesses because who's buying an aquarium in Chicago? And with all the food options that you have, no one is ever in this disgusting sub shop.
Starting point is 00:30:00 And it's like, and disgusting sub shop is like Subway and they're on every corner. Like you could, crazy, absolutely crazy. Ugh, yeah. Yeah, I don't think I would ever want to own an aquarium. I just don't see what to get out of it. Okay, if you do own, if you're listening to this and you have an aquarium, tell us what you like about it.
Starting point is 00:30:21 I wanna know. Yeah, what do you like about it? I'm trying to learn. Cause the other thing that I think, and this is like a little bit morbid, but we had an aquarium growing up and I remember the fish would die all the time. And I guess if you're like trying to get accustomed to like pet death, you know, that's some,
Starting point is 00:30:37 there's like some benefit to like understanding that some things have longer lifespans and whatever, but man, it was miserable every time we found a dead fish cause there's just like floating at the top of the thing. You're like, oh no. It's so funny. Go ahead. What I hated was growing up,
Starting point is 00:30:51 we had a fish tank with a few, we had like neons. This is separate from the betta fish, I think betta fish kill anything else, but we had like little neons, which are kind of fun little fish. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I know those. Yeah, have like a little stripe on them that glows. It was some other fish.
Starting point is 00:31:05 And then what always upset me was we had one of those like sucker guys. Yeah. They just glomps onto the side of the tank and apparently like cleans algae or something. But I feel like I would always look at the tank as like an eight-year-old and be like, oh, this is so cool and beautiful. And we have the ocean in our living room. And then I'd make eyes with this little sucker fish.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I'd be like, this is the grossest fucking 10 pound leech I've ever seen in my fucking life. 10 pound, that's big for one of those sucker fish. Back to your little bubble castle, you fucking bastard. GBC, if your kid, like when they are a little bit older, develops like a true passion for fish Uh-huh and like it's their hyper fixation. Would you get them a fish tank if they had like if they begged for it? Oh, absolutely
Starting point is 00:31:51 I think it's such a good idea if like a kid really wants a pet get the pet because that will never first of all Their attention spans are so long that they'll be so interested in that pet for as long as that pet lives and They'll want to help clean up and stuff. No, the only thing that my kid is getting is a one way ticket into beauty college because they will never work a day in their life. Now, JPC on the other side of the coin, what if your kid develops a little bit older, a deep interest in fish? They love the album hoist.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Yes. Jumping on trampolines while playing guitar is the epitome of musicianship. You know what? That I am fine with because I feel like at that point, I will be in the right era of my life to like a jam band. Now I'm assuming that all the original members of Phish are dead at this point, and it's just John Mayer and like...
Starting point is 00:32:44 the John Mayer crew. By the way... It's John Mayer plus Mars... The John Mayer crew. By the way... It's John Mayer plus Mars Volta. I was hanging out with Janet Varney, not too long ago, and we were having brunch, and she said, I can't remember if it was her or Brandon, her partner, but she said, John Legend instead of John Mayer,
Starting point is 00:33:03 like John Legend played with Fish, and I was like, that to me would be a stellar concert. Yeah, that would be interesting. Some piano going on? There's like a jam band thing, and like John Legend just doing his like sexual crooning. Like... Like an 18-minute sexual crooning song.
Starting point is 00:33:22 It's like Sinatra sitting with the stones, and it's like, I guess. It's a little weird. So yeah, I think I'd be into that. I think that I would be at the right age to have jam bands be like a thing. And also, I've never been to a Phish concert. I have friends that are into Phish.
Starting point is 00:33:37 I'm kind of fascinated by it in a way, but never to the point where I'm like, I would go to this. But I would absolutely get dragged to a Phish concert with my kid being like, I want to see Phish. I'm like, yeah, let's do it. I'll say I went to Bonnaroo in 2003 and I was on a lot of Edibles and I went and saw Trey Anastasio solo and it was with an, oh, sorry, it was him.
Starting point is 00:33:55 He's the only member of Phish, but then he had a full orchestra. Okay. And I'll say it was pretty incredible. But if I'm not on drugs, I hate like Moe, Umfrey McGee. Like I hate all that jam music. Unless I'm on an edible. There's like an artistry to it.
Starting point is 00:34:11 I don't necessarily mind it, but like I don't think I'm ever putting on a fish album to be like, this is something I'll listen to. Yeah, I get it and I get the appeal. My brain always is like, there are other things if I have money to spend That I would rather see or do yeah, Aaron's like I could go watch bum fights. Yeah Said that I do that, but I don't talk about it. We should say Aaron's wearing a big Kimbo slice
Starting point is 00:34:41 Aaron you're obsessed with Kimbo slice Slice I do I do love Kimbo Slice, right? I do, I do love Kimbo Slice. We got her, we got her. We got her, we got her. Casey Clippett. No. We finally have Aaron, so she loves Kimbo Slice. Aaron loves Kimbo Slice. Aaron loves Kimbo Slice.
Starting point is 00:34:53 I think that Aaron, just checking in, you understand completely, correct? Yep. Great. Let's take a break. We have not earned a break this episode, by the way. No, we haven't. We have not earned it.

Starting point is 00:39:25 Well, you know, I've benefited from therapy, obviously. My friends can tell who are here with me right now that I am kind of the poster child for what you can do with your life once you've kind of talked it through with some- I'm the butt fairy and I'm here to collect all the fat you got in your butt. Erin, we can't talk about that on a BetterHelp ad.

Do witches have husbands? Do witches have husbands? Oh, I wish there was still a Yahoo answers cause do witches have husbands would be the only place

JPC you're a witch, you're speed dating, Erin, you're going to be the people opposite the witch on the speed dating.

You can't make me a foot pervert without me calling scene before you can do that to me, idiot. You can't make me a foot pervert because I already am one.
Starting point is 00:47:18 You can't make me something I was born as. Okay, here we go. Did we do the, yeah, we did do the last one. We did do the last one, it was cow, we all got it, we're really proud of ourselves. A whole lot of- I was just gonna say, you know, somewhat recently we were talking about like perfect bits in movies.
Starting point is 00:47:34 I just wanted to say, in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the, she's a witch, she turned me into a newt. And then the guy goes, a newt, and he goes, I got better. I mean, that's one of the all-time greats I also love in Princess Bride when she goes I'm not a witch I'm your wife a whole lot of holes a whole lot of nuts toss me in pull me out see what you got. A net. Garlic bread. A net, a net, a net, a net. All right, you got it, you got it. It was garlic bread. I'd like to see a scene.
Starting point is 00:48:11 You guys are fish, you were clearly caught in a net, and you're sort of like trying to make a plan. Don't panic, don't panic. I heard the panicking just makes it worse. Okay, okay, okay, okay. What do we do, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do, what do we do? what do we do, what do we do, what do we do? Well, so a lot of times, fishermen,
Starting point is 00:48:28 um, bastards, they throw the net down. Gas, gum. They throw the net down, but they don't pull it up immediately. So we're not like fucked yet. We probably still, we still have some time. So, let's just think of it like we have time to work on a plan, Panic is the mind killer.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Let's just, let's focus in on this, okay? Okay, okay, let's all go around and let's say what of it like we have time to work on a plan, Panic is the mind killer. Let's just focus in on this, OK? OK, OK. Let's all go around and let's say what type of fish we are and maybe what skills we have. Yes, if anyone has a specialty, OK? OK. For instance, I'm Sean. I'm a puffer fish.
Starting point is 00:48:57 So I can puff my whole body out. That could help maybe shift some locations. Hi, Sean. Hello. OK. My Sean. Hello. Okay. My name is Tommy. I am a fatty tuna. I'm delicious.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Okay, okay. Let's try to stay focused on what the thing is. But there are no bad ideas in Brainstorm. No bad ideas, no bad ideas. Any other fish? My name is Kelly. I am a rat and I am very scared. I'm very lost.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Oh, like a rat fish? No, no, I'm a rat. That's a rat. So if you are not a fish, let's not have you go when the fish are going. I know, but I feel like I'm sort of part of this. I got trapped in here. And my name is Pierre.
Starting point is 00:49:44 I am a sold fish. Oh, when I am free. What about swat I got trapped in here. And my name is Pierre. I am a swordfish. Oh, wait, I am three. What am I? Swap, swap, swap. Oh, he cut. He cut right through it. Ah, damn. Okay, well, he could have helped the rest of us,
Starting point is 00:49:52 but fucking swordfish. My name is Todd. I'm a narwhal, and I'm gonna spear Pierre. Oh, the narwhal just killed Pierre. Yeah, okay, we're just murdering each other. Again, I'm Kelly, I'm a rat. A rat fish? No, just a rat.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Oh, like you aren't good with secrets? That is true, but that's not relevant to what I'm trying to communicate. Tell us one, tell us one, tell us one. Did you know? Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I am Bruce. I am a sharding. I'm sharding, sorry everybody.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Bruce is a shark. Come on, hey that guy's a rat. Shame. Ha ha ha ha ha. I'm a sharding. Ha ha ha ha ha. The Italian, the only way to end an Italian meal. Hey, I'm a sharding. The Italian, the only way to end an Italian meal. Hey, I'm a sharding here. I'm a sharding.
Starting point is 00:50:50 It's a compliment. I haven't locked into any of the scenes very well today. I feel like I'm sort of like skipping over the scenes and I'm not in the scenes. Does that make sense? Aaron, you're doing- You guys teach improv. Give me something, like give me a scene,
Starting point is 00:51:05 set up a new scene for me, and then also like give me an intention of like how to really be in it. Okay, I wanna see a scene. Aaron, you're an improv teacher, and you're talking to JPC as if he's you. Great. Is this what you wanted?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Yeah. Hey, can I talk to you for a second? Yeah, sorry. Yeah, I feel like I'm like, I'm in my head and I'm not like present in them. Is that what you were gonna say? I don't, I'm sorry, I'm not giving you the notes for me. You can't be wearing leggings to every show.
Starting point is 00:51:34 And your mascara is like running down your face. Like, I just feel like it looks like you're sort of forced to be, it looks, you show up to shows looking like someone woke you up from a deep, deep nap. Okay. Which is fine. Yeah, it just feels like,
Starting point is 00:51:49 cause like none of the guys on the team are getting like notes like this, but like all my notes are like- They're really funny. Well, yeah, I mean, they're really funny. I know, I think I feel like we're all kind of really funny, but I feel like all my notes are like kind of about how like I cry too much in scenes and like.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Right. Yeah. Hey, sorry. Sorry teacher, sorry teacher. Hey babe, I'm gonna wait downstairs for you. Here's a water, just let me know when you're done. I'm Kimbo Slice by the way, hi. I'm dating Aaron.
Starting point is 00:52:18 So, yeah, so he's not, we're not, it's not, he's not, but we're not. You kicked off the team. For what? You know. See. It's still fun that Kimbo Slice comes to your shows, Erin. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:52:36 He's dead. Yeah. I'd say it's more of a distraction. People really sort of only care about that. Sure. Hey, there's a ghost here. It's always really complicated when two people are dating who do the same thing. Cause what if someone gets more successful than the other,
Starting point is 00:52:52 but we're making it work. Aaron's trying to get a hint as to who Kimbo Slice is and we're not gonna help you, Aaron. Yes you will. Aaron, would you do a movie called Ghost Slice that's you dating Kimbo Slice's ghost? Yeah, and the plot would go a little something like... Aaron, would you do a movie called Ghost Slice that's you dating Kimbo Slice's ghost? Yeah, and the plot would go a little something like...
Starting point is 00:53:09 Aaron, we're not going to help you know who Kimbo Slice is. Why can't you help me? We can, it's not that we can't. Okay, well then you guys will be the jerks that the joke is the woman on the show doesn't know something. It's not that we can't. Throwing her on my way for no reason.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Except we shared it. I know that name and that sounds familiar. He's a musician. Yes. Aaron. Got it in one. Aaron, do you know any of this? Can you name a single Kimbo Salsa? Now, what Adel's doing is technically crueller.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Can you name a single Salsa? What are you guys I went on dates with in 2016? Fucking what? Oh, you're wearing a Metallica shirt? Name 10 albums. 10 albums. That's actually hard for Erin because she can't name a single song anyway
Starting point is 00:53:51 because every song that she likes is like, a ba-da-doo-ba-da-ba-da-ba. She doesn't know. Wow, okay, we're all sort of roasting Erin today. Okay, Okay. That means she's doing well and you're trying to bring her down. Yeah. 100%.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Erin, kind of like not unlike what they kind of did to Kimbo Slice. Wow. You know what I'm saying? One to one. One to one. Okay. Kimbo Slice is actually not a musician. That's why I said what Adel's doing is meaner because I would never say, yeah, he's a musician.
Starting point is 00:54:26 What's one of his songs? OK. OK, he's not a musician. How do you know that? I don't know. How do you know that? Uh-oh. I dropped my mic.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Air News Google. You got to rap about Kimbo Slice. Kimbo Slice seems really nice. He's a bare-knuckle boxer. No? He's not nice. Mixed martial artist, professional boxer, and actor. He was born in 1974.
Starting point is 00:55:02 Oh, and he died when he was only 42 years old? He weighed 230 pounds. Wait a minute. This isn't rapping. He's got three kids. What, sorry. Don't talk about how somebody is 142 and they have three kids.
Starting point is 00:55:18 That's so funny. I love that rapping is, he was born in 1984 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He weighs 215, He has four kids. What would you say if you bought the new Kendrick Lamar album and it was just him reading Wikipedia? Every song was just like a Wikipedia entry. Well, then he would win another Grammy.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Yeah, if it's K-Dot, I'm buying it. It's just the song is called Spain, and it's about the country of Spain, just like their exports and their imports. In the middle he's like, Drake's a pedophile. That's so funny. The rain in Spain falls mostly on Drake. All right.
Starting point is 00:56:01 I bring you music. If music you can read, I bring you a number. If toes and fingers you can count, I bring you music. If music you can read, I bring you a number. If toes and fingers, you can count. I bring you the result of the match. Whoa. I bring you music if you can read. Erin, it's score. Erin, you got it.
Starting point is 00:56:19 You scored. She's a genius. She's a genius. So I know it seems like the lady one is the dumb one on this show, but that's not always true. Sometimes it's true, not always. We actually take turns being the dumb one, moment to moment. Moment to moment.
Starting point is 00:56:35 And sometimes, here's a little peek behind the curtain, sometimes we all get to be the dumb one. Yeah, we all carry the ring. Most of the times. Most of the times. I'm dumb Samwise. It would have been better. That's why Samwise came to you.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Erin, how are your Samwise's going? I know, I'm coming with you. What? Your Samwise is good, you have a good Samwise. Oh, thanks. It would have been better. The vocal ticket in my house right now is Cassian Andor from Andor. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Do you think that you could get maybe the gas leak like checked? Like is there a professional that could come in to address the vocal tick? All of my new imaginary friends are from the gas leak, so why would I stop it? This is Jeff, he's from the gas leak. This is Jeff. Oh, how do you know Erin? Oh, I, he's from the Gas Leak. This is Jeff? Oh, how do you know Erin? Oh, I'm a Gas Leak hallucination of hers. How do you know Erin?
Starting point is 00:57:30 I'm a flying elephant. I know Erin from a dream she had. Erin, can you say the line that you said is popular in your house right now? Cassie and Ander. So you sound like- Cassie and Ander. I haven't watched Ander season two yet. I'm very excited.
Starting point is 00:57:50 You sound exactly like the guy who, I wanna say is Australian, and he's in a lot of movies and stuff. He plays, he's in Captain Marvel, is like the head Gremlin scree guy or whatever. Oh, oh, oh, oh God, what is that man's name? I don't know. You know what I'm talking about?
Starting point is 00:58:07 Yeah, Ben Mendelsohn. Ben Mendelsohn, thank you, Casey. Erin, that was a dead on Ben Mendelsohn in part. That's not what I meant to do. Okay. You were doing Mr. Scarsgard, right Erin? Yeah, I was. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Papa Scarsgard? Stellan? Stellan, yeah. Stellan? Was it? Ben Mendelsohn is also in that show, right? Yeah, he just showed me. Because he's in Rogue One.
Starting point is 00:58:30 Yes. Oh, yes, yes, yes. And Auntie Donna did impressions of him that were really funny. There's a clip of them that I watched yesterday. That's so funny that you bring up Ben Mendelsohn. I guess it's, you brought it up because we're talking about Andor.
Starting point is 00:58:42 But they do a really great impression of him. Well, yeah, did you remember he was in Rogue One? I guess it's, you brought it up because we're talking about Andor, but they do a really great impression of him. I, well, yeah, well, you, did you remember he was in Rogue One? I just rewatched Rogue One not too long ago. So I was like, he has to be bridging the gap there, you know, somewhere, because he's like the big bad from Rogue One.
Starting point is 00:58:56 That's wild. You guys, before I forget, I'm so sorry. I, there, I don't have that many career goals left other than maybe meeting them up a bit, but I do. She's been crushing it. Well, Erin, you said you wanted to be on the cover of Highlights Magazine. I don't think they do like cover shoots.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Hello. I'm sorry, I'm just trying to be realistic. Oh my God, what? I wanna wear lingerie on the cover of Highlights Magazine. It's my only dream. With how often you change your hair, you could fucking be Highlights magazine. It's my only dream. With how often you change your hair, you could fucking be Highlights magazine. Wow.
Starting point is 00:59:29 You guys had to learn how to do my own hair. I spent hours and hours researching how to dye your own hair blonde, and I did it last week. Oh, because so many places have refused you service. Yes, because I go too often. No, because I can't, you can't, in this economy, you can't afford to be blonde anymore.
Starting point is 00:59:47 So. Wow, look at what they took from us. That's so, oh please. The blonde inflation rate is so high. But you guys, I love Auntie Donna, and they have a show on YouTube where it's basically party quirks, but impossible, and they give each other the most impossible prompts to do.
Starting point is 01:00:05 And I don't know who listens, who might know them. I will fly to Australia on my own dime. I want to go and be on that show so bad. We can probably get them on our show. They do podcasts. I would love that. And then I can go, I'm literally, that would be a dream of mine to go on that.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Erin, would you mind if I circle back to something? Yeah, of course. Erin's so blonde that she heard inflation rates were high and she let all the air out of her tires. Erin, is that true? Erin, is that true? This is something I heard, so I just wanna verify, is it true?
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yes. Yes, good. Okay, Erin, I just sent a text. again. Auntie Donna's been on magic tabard I have booked for us next week Uncle Donna now, that's not what I wanted Well, Erin would you know? Biggers can't be choosers Uncle Donna uncle Donna hamsters in tuxedos Erin the best part are we three hamsters in tuxedos isn't that a little redundant?
Starting point is 01:01:10 Auntie duh, what I'm saying again at all Uncle Donna uncle Donna sounds also just like fat bastard now isn't that fun uncle Donna get in my I'm gonna ask you guys a question. Did you be honest with me? Have we done a single riddle this episode? Okay, great I'm gonna ask you guys a question, I need you to be honest with me. Have we done a single riddle this episode? No. Okay, great. Do you wanna do a single one? I'm putting it out into the, yes, I'm putting it out into the universe
Starting point is 01:01:32 that I wanna go on that show. And I know I'm not qualified in any sort of way and I live in a different continent, but please. Erin's so blonde, she heard that there was a single riddle and she asked what its sign was. Wow, Erin, is this true? That's funny. You try to date a rid. Wow, Erin, is this true? That's funny. Date a riddle?
Starting point is 01:01:46 But Erin, so this is something I heard and I'm not really, I'm truly not doing this to be mean. This is something I heard I just wanna verify if it's true. It is true. The riddle is an Aries. We're compatible. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:02:00 Yeah. Silver are my teeth and sharp, straight, my jaw and long. Use me carefully, my friend. My double bite is strong. Bear trap. Tongs, bear trap. It's not tongs, it's not a bear trap. That's a really great, bear trap is the closest.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Tongs and bear trap are both pretty close. They're around the same thing. Mousetrap. Mousetrap is close as well, but. Is it a trap of some kind? It's not a trap. It's a trap. Admiral Ackbar's not a trap. Uh, okay. It's a trap. Admiral Ackbar on the podcast.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Admiral Snackbar. Admiral Snackbar. Cause he's cute. Cause he's cute cause he's a snack. It's a snack. Thanks, Admiral Snackbar. Why did they not have that as a tie in for the episode three re-release? Well, we'll have to see if Admiral Snackbar makes an appearance in the
Starting point is 01:02:43 upcoming Disney Tw twins' picture. Yeah. Furiously writing down Admiral Snackbar and setting a whole 50 minute episode based on that. Silver are my teeth and sharp. Straight, my jaw, and long. Use me carefully, my friend. My double bite is strong.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Can opener. No, double bite. Double bite also crucial here. And like a can opener, this is probably something that you would find in your house. Stapler. Stapler. It's a stapler.
Starting point is 01:03:10 It's a stapler. It's a stapler. Can I just say, when I was in grade school, everyone being like, I'm stapler, I'm gonna fuck your mom. I hated that. I hated it. I hated American pie and stapler.
Starting point is 01:03:22 I know my brain is poisoned from all the blonde dive, but I did understand that reference. Well, Erin know my brain is poisoned from all the blonde dive, but I did understand that reference. Well, Erin, it's also poisoned from the gas leak. Right. And me electrocuting myself by accident when I was in the third or fourth grade. When you brought a pie to the scene with the aquarium, I wanted to come in and say,
Starting point is 01:03:38 maybe we tell your mother we ate the pie, and I did it because I'm a good partner. Maybe we just tell your mom we're not the pie. No, can't be true. Hey, here's something that's true. Casey, can you play us a voicemail theme? I'm the one who's answering like a role-playing cat, pussies, and Brady.
Starting point is 01:03:58 I'll just answer all the questions I piece of mind. I'm tired of looking around, Oh, listen to question that piece of mind. I'm tired of looking around, I just better get to the point. I'm not supposed to be. I just gotta make a five, seven, four, three, five, three, one. Yep. There's a one at the end, two.
Starting point is 01:04:20 I mean, just, sorry, as well, listen number one. Fuck. Yeah. I love it. Yes. I love it. And that was actually Gavin DeGraw? That was Gavin DeGraw. That was Tom Lum, host of the Let's Learn Everything podcast on Maximum Fun. Thank you so much, Tom.
Starting point is 01:04:34 Thank you, Tom, that was awesome. That fucking rule. Tom also sent the lyrics, and the lyric for that line is I'm tired of looking around, who's a was a, loses the lyrics because no one remembers this line. That was very Aaron coded. Yeah, very Aaron coded to lose it in that line is, I'm tired of looking around, who's a wuzza, loses the lyrics because no one remembers this line. That was very Aaron coded. Yeah, very Aaron coded to lose it in that cover of Gavin DeGraw's I Don't Want to Be.
Starting point is 01:04:52 There's a gas leak in my house, what's your excuse? Is this your PSA, Aaron? Yeah. That sounds like something. There's a gas leak in my house, do you know where your children are? Do I have children? That sounds like something a drag queen would say at the end of like a runway walk of something.
Starting point is 01:05:06 Like, I have a gas leak in my house. What's your excuse? And then turn and walk back. That's my real housewives intro. I have a gas leak in my house. What's your excuse? If you want to get a voicemail feature on the show, make it 30 seconds or less.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Send it as a wave file to hrpodcast.gmail.com. Casey, play us a voicemail. Hey, clue crew. Imail.com Casey plays a voicemail. Hey crew crew. I was wondering if you have a song that you always hear the lyrics to incorrectly in your head. My example for this is the layman's song at the end of the day for some reason in my head. The lyrics are always when the hair on your back doesn't keep up the chill even though I know it's when the shirt on your back doesn't keep up the chill, even though I know it's when the shirt on your back doesn't keep up the chill. Yeah. Just curious. Hope you're all doing well. Okay. Have a good one. Bye. Oh my God. I've been saying when the hair on your back doesn't keep out the
Starting point is 01:05:53 chill. No, I am not kidding. Really? Yeah. You have the same one. Was that you Erin? Okay. Yeah. Well, first of all, we already established that that is my entire life is I can get the vibe of a song, but I do not know the lyrics. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot. And this is also really fun because it was that voicemail theme with this voicemail, which was totally accidental, but it was one where you lose the lyrics, which is cool. But I have that too.
Starting point is 01:06:18 I don't know the lyrics very well at all. I would say my biggest one is from the album TAC, T-A-K-K by Sigur Ros. I always think that he's saying, let's go. And he's really going, let's go. Just a classic Sigur Ros joke. Since I watched Cats, I've been on an Andrew Lloyd Webber kick.
Starting point is 01:06:44 And so I was listening to Evita yesterday and I realized for the first time in a new Argentina the lyrics are, this is crazy defeatist talk. And I thought it was Mambo jumbo. I was like, oh, this is crazy defeatist talk makes more sense than this is crazy to be this talk. Like I had no one. This is this is insane. The first place my mind went to,
Starting point is 01:07:05 there's a live song called I Alone. Do you guys know this live song? I Alone Love You. Yeah, he goes, I alone love you. In my mind, he's always just going, I, la, la, la, la, I, la, la, la. I'm like, I completely lose every lyric in that part. But here's the other thing,
Starting point is 01:07:22 is I also have the Aaron disease where I don't remember the lyrics to songs. Aaron disease. Yeah, sorry. So slow gas leak in my brain. But I don't know, maybe there's the fact that I've been doing improv for so long, but it's like,
Starting point is 01:07:34 I don't even attempt to get the lyrics anymore. I just make my own up. Like I do a lot of singing with my child and I'm like, you're fucked because I don't know the words to the songs from Moana, even though we've listened to them a hundred times, but I do know my words. To the bite, to the side, to the sea, it calls me. But Erin, I'm not doing the thing where I'm like, as I bite, as I bite.
Starting point is 01:07:55 I'm not doing like simlish for it. I'm just like making up words. I'm like- Give me an example. Sing something from Moana. I'm alone with my thoughts and it turns, it disturbs me. with my thoughts and it turns it disturbs me but I can't post till I'm a ghost and I'll just do it'll be like nonsense and Mariah will be like what are you doing I'm like I'm not gonna learn the fucking lyrics Moana knows the lyrics I shouldn't have to know them. That's awesome. I'll do that with black crows with that I'll start to sing it and then I'll realize
Starting point is 01:08:25 I don't know the words. So I'm like, hey little thing, lemme let you count cause the mama number number number dot. Like I always. Mess around. Yeah, I always just like. Come around, mess it down.
Starting point is 01:08:35 Immediately deflate because I'm like, oh no, I'm in the thick of it. I'm on the slide and I forgot where the bottom is. I'm on the slide and I forgot where the bottom is. That's so funny. Hey little thing, let me let you get a kiss. The mama da ba da ba da ba da. Mess around. Signs up for karaoke and it's like, oh no, wait, there's a rap verse in this song?
Starting point is 01:08:54 I forgot there was a rap verse in this song. Just try your best. Yeah, thank you so much for that question. Do we have anything, Erin, to plug? Anything you got to plug? Just go and come see us on tour. We would love to see you. Come see us on tour. And I know what you're thinking.

Starting point is 01:10:22 I was thinking about a death rattle, Saint Elsewhere, the velociraptor. And now they said it. We live outside the laws of space and time. We are activated. More dinosaurs and soap operas to do your mission. You know what your mission is? Jupiter.
