This is a headgum podcast.
The doctor was the mother.
He stood on a block of ice.
Both of the network of fish.
It was the cabin of an airplane.
He stabbed him with an ice cream.
And the horse of being Friday.
Or hate riddle.
Ritchell.
Human beings have always been attracted to the number seven.
Seven has held a power and a mystery.
Just ask Snow White.
Seven deadly sins.
Seven chakras.
Seven notes in a scale.
Seven seas.
Seven colors of the rainbow.
Seven wonders of the world.
Seven brides.
for Seven Brothers, The Magnificent Seven, Seven The Movie, and God created the world in seven days.
When he spent that week making everything we know, he didn't consider what human beings would have
had the impulse to make. It began in a tapas restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. In the before times,
autumn 2018, an Addle brought the idea of the podcast to the attention of Aaron, a dazzling young
comedian at the top of her game. She agreed enthusiastically, even though she didn't care for
what he said would be the show's center, riddles. Then the Addle brought the podcast to the
attention of a horrid little creature, a loose JPC that had been terrorizing the kingdom of
Chicago for several years. He answered the call. In the spring of 2018, these three comedians
gathered in secret, deep beneath the mountains of head gum. One brought riddles and
coffee. One brought untamed chaos and coffee, and one brought sex appeal and incredible
rapping skills. And into this fragile alliance, they poured their madness, their tangents,
their scene work, and their rage at riddles that had started the journey in the first place.
Thus, Hey Riddle Riddle was born and was released in July of 2018. For seven years it endured,
through pandemics and soundboard wars,
through voicemails and mimicry,
through late-night recordings, weddings, babies, and breakups.
Through episodes where the riddles were forgotten entirely.
And now, in the seventh year of its reign,
the world stands at the edge of mystery once more.
The riddles have grown older, the scenes stranger,
and the audience more weary than ever.
And so we gather again at the turning of the turning of,
of the tide to celebrate seven years of Hey Riddle Riddle.
Oh, and Anthony, you're here too.
Hi.
Yeah.
Hi, Anthony.
Hi.
This is like when you bring your kid to your anniversary dinner.
Who's my dad?
Um, anyone want to show of hands?
Who wants to be?
Freddie?
Yeah, it sounds about him.
He's my dad.
He didn't bring me.
I showed up alone.
He's picky you up at eight.
Casey, I think it's maybe worth it to just reach out to who do we, Tolkien or Peter Jackson or whatever, just to see if we can get the rights to the Lord of the Rings music.
Because, you know, and if we don't end up using it in the episode, that's fine.
But an email, right?
I mean, it's like, how hard could that be?
That was a totally original thing that I came up with.
That wasn't a reference to anything.
What's the Lord of the Rings?
That's a great question.
Aaron, I think if you just drop in some, like, pro tourism for New Zealand, I think we're covered.
So if you do just super quick, just toss something out.
New Zealand.
They say sex instead of six, and that's kind of fun.
I think that'll do it.
That'll get a plane load of people over there.
A plane load.
Am I remembering that right?
Did I get the history of the show right?
You're the founder of the show.
I think so.
I think I forged the show deep in the mountains.
And the fans thought that there was going to be riddles every episode, but they were all of them betrayed.
I mean, yeah, I guess that is true.
The way that you described me moving to the Chicago Improv community, Aaron, kind of made me sound like a sex pest.
And were you not a sex pest?
Are you going to stand here in front of us and tell us you are not a sex?
Okay.
Classic sex pest.
If anything, if anything, I'm a seated sex pest.
Don't ask what he's sitting on.
I'd stand, but I can't right now.
And also, Adel, you asked me before you asked Chief.
I honestly cannot remember.
That's something we should go back into the anals of history and figure out, probe deep and...
Well, JPCs is busy right now.
And Anthony, you have actually...
I think you started listening to the show kind of early on.
You've obviously stopped once you met us and...
I kind of did.
Why stop?
I was like I get enough of this shit for free.
I don't need to...
What year...
Do you remember the year you started listening?
listening to our show? The year you guys came out. I was I was concurrent with you by around
episode four or five. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah, my friend Yulele loved Magic Tavern and
riddles and he was like, you got to listen to this and I did. And I've continued to listen
until, yeah, until I met all of you and then I was like, fuck this. Yeah. I'm going to listen to
come down. The real podcast. I just don't even think that podcast. But it's the only podcast
we're allowed to reference. It's my favorite thing. Name drop that we do. But yeah,
You guys doing this podcast inspired me to do the podcast I do now.
Wow, that's wild because one of the big reasons that we were going to have you on this episode today, Anthony,
and then we kind of forgot that it was our anniversary.
And so that's a happy accident was you inspired us to do another, a different podcast with you.
I guess you asked us.
Yeah, I asked you to.
I sort of came up with their drag you along.
Yeah.
It makes it seem like you had more to do with the inception of it than you did.
We're inspiring each other back and forth.
and that is what I was trying to hint to in my narration
is that we're coming to sort of
we're not abandoning hay riddle riddle
every time we try to run out of
your mother and I still love you.
This is nobody's fault.
This is nobody's fault.
My impression that was that we were abandoning hay riddle riddle.
I'm game for whatever, but I was like,
I got a bagpacked.
There's like seven bindles behind you.
All condoms.
All condoms.
Would a sex pest have seven bindles of condoms?
We are starting.
a new thing.
And I don't know who wants to talk about it,
but I think to talk about it
the beginning of the episode is wise
instead of just waiting till plugs.
Yeah.
I don't say so.
People tap out at plugs.
Well, Anthony came to us with an idea,
and I guess it was an idea
that if you're a Patreon listener
to Hey, Rodo, Rurdo,
we've kind of toyed around
with a little bit a few years back
on Patreon episodes,
but we've kind of expanded that idea
into a new show called
Gumshoes and Dragons.
That's right.
Basically, I thought it would be fun to do a D&D type thing, but with the structure of Colombo,
because I listened to their review crew where they talked about Colombo, they being the Hey Riddler
Roodle Roo. And then we did a test episode of it. I did one with the Daddy's crew and one with the
Hey Riddler Crew, and for two reasons, both equally valid. I chose the Hey Ritter
Rooder Crew and I should do this together.
It's time to roll some dice and get this mystery fixed.
Gun Shoes and Dragons.
And we're very grateful.
When we did the first episode on Patreon, like that test one, Patreon stretch goal one, I had the best time.
And now that we've been doing it with guests, it's just been such a blast to be in something that you're DMing.
I feel very lucky.
We got a new guest every other week that does a murder.
And then Adel, J.BZ and Aaron playing fantasy characters, detectives have to sort of solve the murder.
And sometimes they will and sometimes they won't.
Yeah.
So it's really fun.
We have, we have, it's, from doing this show to doing that show, it's a big change-up because we have guests every week, which in this show, we sometimes go months without remembering that we could invite people to do the show.
So we have fun guests every week. Each guest is playing a character. They're always playing a murderer.
And if you like the fact that sometimes we don't understand riddles, just wait until we have to solve, like, complicated puzzles that Anthony is designing.
Brilliant Anthony.
Which we, honestly, in retrospect, of the ones we've recorded.
it we should have been able to solve but uh i think anthony was playing it better than i expected i'll say
that wow oh wait that's so nice of you it does feel a lot like an escape room um and in the same way
there there's one episode that i got so into it and excited that i feel like i just decided to solve
as much of it on my own as i could i was just like oh and then this and then this like it feels the
has that energy of an escape room with friends the best compliment i can get as the uh co-designer
of some of these mysteries is that sometimes Aaron forgets
that she's playing a character and just gets super
excited in terms of the Erie Keefe Boy Detective.
Yes, I saw
local mysteries from my tree house.
No one is. I think the first episode we recorded
she literally touched her nose when she had an idea.
It was very stupid.
Should we mention some of the
guests that we found?
Sure. Yeah.
Brett and Lee Mulligan.
Rakeshanker.
Janand Varney. David Arquette
has not yet been on.
He won't return our emails or our calls.
I have a connect.
I could probably make it happen.
Casey, go ahead and CC him on that Peter Jackson email or whatever that you're writing.
Maybe we could just kind of loop this whole thing together.
Brennan Lee Mulligan is the first episode.
So I feel like that is a great one to check out.
It was also so cool to watch you guys meet.
I was texting a friend and I was like, it's like John Adams and George Washington meeting for the first time.
Damn.
It sucks.
God, I'm so sick of people comparing me to John Adams.
It sucks.
It sucks for whoever is John Adams.
No, John Adams is my favorite.
Oh, I know.
John Adams loved his wife.
Yeah, sure.
No, it sucks.
Meeting Brennan sucked ass because he's like not only insanely creative and insanely funny,
but he's also genuinely very nice.
Yeah.
And I am at most one of those things.
Yeah.
I would describe that maybe as not sucking ass.
I think it's kind of fun to meet people who are creative and nice.
Well, that's cool for you.
That's great that you can derive joy from that.
How nice for you.
Classic sex pests.
Well, I do think the sex pest thing
We might want to back away from making it
Like a running thing
Because there are real sex pets out there
And then it kind of makes it seem like, yeah
I will say that JBCZ pretty early on
Kept thinking that the name of the show
Was Come Shoes in Dragons
And like that's a pretty good idea
For like a CSI like SVU
Kind of spinoff series
We haven't announced the Patreon yet
So there are no bad ideas
It's brainstorming.
But if you want to follow along the show, it comes out next Monday.
So Monday, August 4th, and then every other Monday is when we are going to drop an episode.
We'll have a link in the episode description to where you can follow that.
We'll probably have a trailer up by the time this episode comes out where you can subscribe to the feed so that you get new episodes.
And we would love it if people gave it a try.
And then let us know what you think.
We would love to hear about it.
Oh, and when I say let us know what you think, like we are social media everywhere.
at Gumshoes and Dragons, I believe, correct?
Gump Shoes and Dragons is on, I believe, everything,
with the possible exception of X the Everything app.
I don't think I set up one for that.
Because nobody wants to be on that app anymore.
No.
Even sex pests.
Only sex pest.
I like they're like, I can call myself a sex pest.
You can't call my...
I can use that hard.
I'm taking it back.
Okay, well, Anthony, you're going to have to endure
a little bit of sentimentality of us talking about
being a show for seven years.
years. That's fine. I admire your show, so I'm glad to be witnessed to it. That's really sweet.
But, Anthony, feel free to participate in any of these that you might remember. And then also,
you guys, you might not remember them. So I feel like everyone might be on equal footing for this.
Okay.
But I asked our listeners what some of the most memorable episodes, moments, bit scenes from the show
were. And everyone, please tell me we're just going to do a clip show. We can, kind of.
But you have to recreate it now live from memory.
Yes, we have to try to remember what it was.
No.
Okay.
The first one I'm going to talk about is pretzel Jesus.
Does anyone remember what that is?
Yes.
I remember pretzel Jesus, but I don't remember.
It's something that came up in a scene on an episode.
And I'll say this.
It could have been any time in the last seven years.
Great. Perfect.
Did pretzel Jesus skateboard?
He did.
He did.
He did, Adel.
Good memory.
I'm going to give pretzel Jesus a five out of seven.
because we can't really remember any of the details
If that's the barometer that we're going with
It's going to be a long evening
Puzzbot
announcing that Adel was dead
and everyone believing Pusbop
That was an April Fool's episode
Yes, because the title was Adel was
Yeah, exactly.
The episode title was Adel is dead
And everyone thought that we were announcing
Adel's death in the title of an episode
It really speaks volumes to the tone of the
show they're like this could be real and his friends are so flipping about his death they just
record a podcast that week it was april of 2020 so it's like not impossible that adle would have
died but you know but i'm voicing pause but i guess that's a big giveaway
adle how about you write that one out of seven because i'm going to give it seven out of seven
because all good adults go to heaven.
Exactly.
Maria CVS, which was JPC's answer to a sandy riddle.
I was going to say that's definitely from a sandbox.
An early one, early, early one, right?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It's like the first 10 episodes of the show or something, right?
Yeah.
Oh, possible.
Do you remember what the question was?
It was like a pharmacy fill in the blank thing and JPC guest Maria CVS.
And I think I laughed pretty hard.
I would joke once every three months
I search your subreddit
to see if somebody can pinpoint
the exact episode that is
because I keep forgetting the specific joke
and no one ever knows.
Because CBS is a legend
spoken of in the hallowed halls
of your subreddit
but nobody actually can find her.
I think someone did like a thing
that like crawled all of our shows
and like transcriptized them
and there's a website now called
witch riddle riddle.com
that you can go to
and then I've never used it
but I've seen people talk about it.
But I think you can like, and it's only our main feed stuff, but you can like type in Maria CVS into it, I think, and I think it should spit out, assuming that whatever crawled the transcripts to like formed it, like got Maria CVS out of that.
Who knows?
Wow.
I would be doing it right now.
Yeah, it's episode 14.
Oh, wow.
Wow, that is early.
Whoa, Aaron divide 14 by two.
Six.
Shit.
We should say, we should say Aaron died to her.
her hair, so she's, well, it's not blonde anymore.
So, Erin, want to take that joke back?
Uh, seven.
There we go.
I have pink hair right now.
She's got pink hair, so she's smart.
The sweater.
Now, this one was maybe the most common answer.
Now, what, the sweater was really, we had, what's the thing that animals get when
they're in captivity?
Bored.
Did we both say bored?
Yes.
That's incredible.
That's crazy.
It's like zoo, zoo something.
Lander?
Forget it.
Topia.
Topia.
Topia.
Yeah, you guys.
We were kind of going crazy
during the pandemic.
I wore a sweater that was really cute.
We spent the whole episode roasting it.
What would you guys give that out of seven?
Not the sweater, obviously, but the episode.
That's going to be seven out of seven.
That's going to be our best episode.
I think that's a 10 out of seven.
That remains my favorite podcast episode, period.
That's crazy.
I mean, it informs the entire way to interact with you specifically in personal interactions.
Aaron, Weezer wrote a song.
about it. Which, by the way, for people listening, it's not the way to interact with Aaron.
No, no, you get to do. Only I go to do it. Anthony gets to do it. Anthony gets to do it because he is
famous. If you get famous, you're allowed to do. It's one of the first things they give you is the
cards that says you can do it. You think we wouldn't let Walking Phoenix talk to Aaron like that?
We would.
No, Aaron, if Walking Phoenix, if Walking Phoenix talk to you like that, I would say something. I would
You would give him a high five.
I'd say, hey, man.
Knock it off.
Huge fan of your performance and signs.
Yeah.
Why are you friends with Casey?
The first thing I would ask
Joaquin Phoenix is why is you friends with Casey?
I ask most people that just to make sure that they're not.
Boss lady business, bitch.
We'll move through these faster.
That was a song I made up.
It's become a feminist anthem.
And I would give it a one out of sex.
That's easily six out of seven.
That one's great.
My wife has a little placard.
I think I've talked about this on the show on her desk that says CEO and then under it it says cunt eating Oreos.
I sing the Boston Lady Business Bich song in my head every time I like walk past her office and see the placard.
The Zeus goat scene, which I do remember is a goat saying, yeah, man, I'm Zeus.
Keep going.
Yeah, we were going to turn that into merch for a while, but I think, I think like every item of merch that we sell, it would be unwearable, like a goat presenting asshole saying, I'm Zeus keep going.
The conductor, I'm going to give that a two out of seven.
The conductor who got struck by lightning is another very common answer that we get, which makes sense to me because you saying, slimbles, flimbles is in my head kind of all the time.
Wasn't I supposed to be J.P. Riddles in that? Or no?
No. That's just another chaos character. Okay. Okay.
Dr. Chameleon, which I'm going to give seven out of seven to because I like that our running villain is not great at his job. Another good thing for the tone of the show, I think. I mean, is Dr. Chameleon dead? What's he up to?
I think he's retired.
Oh, that's so nice. Where did he retire? Did he move or?
He's in Boca.
He's in Boca Raton.
Hell yeah, baby.
Did he get, like, Blade Runner retired?
Like, he, like, went to a farm in Boca Raton and is never coming back?
I guess I don't need to watch Blade Runner now.
Paul Ruddles, which, JPC, do you want to explain what you did there?
Yes, and Aaron, we were texting back and forth today when we remembered that tonight,
we were recording the seventh anniversary episode.
And as we were doing that, I was busy all day with my kids, so I wasn't able to, like, do
anything but we're like oh who has something planned who has something planned i almost i had an idea
to make another set of paul ruddles because i knew anthony would be on the show and i was like oh anthony
will hate this if he will strongly dislike this but i had the idea for that today and i it's not
paul rudd related but it is pun related and i i logged that as a potential idea for later so
do not discount paul ruddles it could be back at some point okay um i'm going to give that one out of
That's discounting it.
No, it's good.
Aaron, if you give that a one out of seven, can I pitch you the idea?
And then you can tell me, like, if it's going to get more than a one out of a seven?
Yeah, sure.
Okay.
So it's called The Chronicles of Riddick or Riddlesick.
And I show you a picture that's either from a Vin Diesel movie or The Chronicles of Nardia, and you have to tell me which one.
Two out of seven.
Okay, good.
Fantastic podcast content.
that is nothing
JPC that is such a
melted version of our show
I don't even know where to begin
it's a two out of seven
and if my best shit is a one out of seven
then I feel like a two out of seven is a hundred percent
Did you just feed a bunch of Hayridor episode into chat
GBT and then it's like now make one
we haven't we haven't gotten there yet
we haven't gotten there we will
we will we will I'm definitely going to do that with mine too
I feel like I heard a fact toy that was
Chronicles of I've never seen Chronicles of Riddick
but they said on the set I think Judy Dench is in that
or someone of that ilk and they said
Vin Diesel like taught her D&D
which is pretty fun.
Vin Diesel's a huge D&D guy so let's not
discount it because he could be a potential... I would fucking love to have him on the show.
Yeah.
Can you imagine him? I'd love to talk to you like Joaquin Phoenix.
Diesel's and Dragons? Dungeons and Deals?
Shit, that's good.
What if it's Dungeons and diesels and it's cars but in D&D?
It's like Fast and the Furious.
Okay, hold on. This is Patriot.
Write this down.
I don't want to blow our chances.
I don't want to blow our chances of having Vin Diesel on the podcast,
but have you guys heard Vin Diesel's music, like the music that he makes?
Absolutely not, and I want to quit everything and listen to it right now.
It's, oh, boy.
Well, okay, well, here, I won't talk about Vin Diesel.
Have you guys heard Will Smith's latest song about how he likes girls or whatever?
No.
You ever heard this, Aaron?
Truly awful.
I think I've been managing to escape pop culture for the last, like, three or four weeks.
It's very peaceful.
It's so funny when Will Smith does a thing that he obviously wants to do instead of like going through the proper channels of people being like, and of course don't do this.
Because it's like when he does things that he wants to do, it's like after Earth slapping Chris Rock and putting out a song as like a 55-year-old man about how you like girls.
Oh, God.
All right, I'm going to get through some of these quickly.
So everyone just yell at a number when I do them.
Peat out the poison.
Seven.
Seven.
A fan made of signs and I have one hanging in my bathroom.
Same.
the Lord of Beeps
Seven
Okay
Anthony had stopped listening
at that point
I saw the head
I saw the head
Yeah I don't think
I've ever heard
of Lord of Beeps
We forgot to beep something
And then we said
The Lord of Beeps was dead
And then I wrote a whole episode
About it
It's nothing
It's Anthony
And I can't
It sounds like it's something
It sounds like your fans liked it
Yeah
Blown Man group
Which I remember
Very vividly
Where it's just the Blumen
But they're like
Smoking
cigarette being like can you believe that unbelievable was that that was early too right that was early
too okay that was an in studio episode i believe yeah for sure uh because i remember laughing hard at
that maybe the same episode is thank you snake wow wow based on the air aranaic ronde oh adele's in
his mine palace holy shit what's going on there doors locked where did i put the key shit shit shit shit
he stuck in there guys checking my mind pants no checking under the mine rocks no oh dude adle i totally
what you're talking about with Mind Rocks.
I got Mind Rocks so bad.
Just jangling around in there.
Sounds like a deaf leopard song.
Halloween trailer game is another one we got a lot of.
Yeah, classic.
That's the one where you sing the lullaby because you didn't listen?
Yeah, I wasn't listening.
Howard Dean's Scream.
Huge.
Oh, yeah.
7-0-7.
That's, you know, that's just an amazing piece of iconic Americana lore.
that we've revived on this show, single-hatedly, I would say.
Now, everyone's talking about Howard Dean.
Apple Pie, Baseball.
Yeah.
A lot of people were mentioning Patreon things, which I'm not bringing up,
but I will mention that we got a bajillion addle in a ball pit thing,
which is the maddest I've ever been an addle when he got stuck in a ball pit,
a horror movie ball pit, and I had to get them out.
That's the angriest I've ever been at a friend.
I was so scared.
It's depressing how many of these things that are our best things are, like, season one,
Hey, Riddle.
Although this, yeah, go ahead.
I'll tell you my favorite thing, and it's definitely not season one.
And I don't think anything because he remembers it.
It's specifically, I somebody asked a question, and it wasn't even in a scene, but JPC decided he was going to say that he was like having sex with this guy's ex.
And he said, oh, it's got to burn you when you see me driving around town in my Dodge Durango with your girl in my passenger seat.
And something about the way he enunciated Dodge Durango will paralyze me if I think about it too long.
That's perfect.
This is Sharna Halpern teaching you to pass the Hines, not pass the ketchup.
You know what I'm saying?
Specity kills ambiguity.
I wish I could take a hammer to the side of my brain that knows shit like that.
You guys are going to absolutely love this one.
I love listening to the three of you becoming closer and closer friends over the years.
Now what would you give that out of seven?
Are they listening backwards?
What are they doing?
Are they listening for most recent and going?
Yeah, we're the opposite.
of
Pangaea
which is
the current day
world
I think so
continents who have
drifted apart
there's an ocean
between us
I'm gonna just
do a couple more
smacks the frog
please don't
fuck my mom
please don't fuck my mom
please don't fuck my mom
unfortunately
Uncle Santa
and I really appreciate
the person
putting unfortunately
in front of this
we don't need
the editorializing guys
okay
just
just say the nice
thing
and then back
the fuck on
Um
Puzzbot
Little Monkey Bones
Cocoa Cashmere
Mm-hmm
The three of them
Should team up for something
Oh that would be fun
A heist
Oh let's do a heist episode
Fuck Butler
Which I don't really remember
Oh I do
What is that?
I remember Fuck Butler
What is fuck Butler
How best to describe it
Kind of
Indescribable
Great
On your knees
Fuck Butler
Oh there
is. Okay. Phoebe Pee-Bee-Bee-Bee-Bee, classic. Oh, yeah. How far up the egg do the pants go?
Sure. You're singing cake songs. Hey, welcome to Jamba Juice. How can I help you? Classic walk online.
And then, Adel, I got to tell you, I think the number one answer by a lot is Nintendo Cafe and the end of it when you gave me a Nintendo. And I want to say something about that.
that is crazy that that's everyone's favorite moment because that's the most earnest thing
that's probably ever happened on our show and it's the only time I cried well joy cried
on this show that's beautiful Aaron so that's kind of nice isn't that nice yeah that's like
karmically the opposite of the the sweater episode yes exactly and if we missed your favorite
moment you can um let us know
And then I'll maybe put together seven moments
and post them on our Instagram
on the day of our actual anniversary.
So that was like seven moments and happen.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Amazed that I'm insane and your all my puppets didn't make it.
Wow.
That's crazy.
Disgusting that that didn't make it.
I mean, I have a lot of favorite moments,
Aaron, too, that didn't make it.
You guys were coming in and out of me.
JPC?

Whoops.
And we'll be back with riddles.

And Coco, you said Betty Boop is suing you?

I get it.
Oh,
Ah, God.
JPC, what happened?
I just, I cut myself again on some of my closet staples.
Oh, JPC.
Yeah, you've got a horrible misunderstanding.
I got a closet full of staples because I've heard that it's like good to like.
You stapled all your clothes.
You're going to need, oh boy.
I think that you're thinking of closet.
staples like clothes that you can wear a lot that look good with other things. I get mine
from quince. Have you heard of quince? They have closet staples you want to reach for over and over
carefully like cozy cashmere and cotton sweaters from just $50, breathable flow knit polos and
comfortable lightweight pants that somehow work for both weekend hangs and dressed up dinners. I'm
wearing some right now. Wee. Oh, okay. I think I have, you guys, I think this is another one of my
classic mix-em-ups, where I've fundamentally misunderstood the assignment.
A hundred percent.
And guess what?
With Quince, everything is half the cost of similar brands.
By working directly with top artisans and cutting out the middleman,
Quince gives you luxury pieces without the markups.
My sheets are from Quince.
That's why I look so well-rested.
That's why you're always wearing sheets?
These are real clothes.
Those are real clothes.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Great.
Nope.
And I'm getting it.
I actually know Quince and I love quince because.
I have a lightweight hoodie from Quince that I wore to our Portland show, our Seattle
show, and here in L.A. It is wonderful. It's my favorite item of clothing that I own.
And Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical, and responsible manufacturing
practices in premium fabrics and finishes. So you don't even have to feel bad when you're wearing
your hoodie. So stop covering your wet naked body with staples from the staple store.
What the hat? You should use a towel.
Yeah, maybe somebody else did the call to action. Mine's all messed up.
Keep it classic and cool with long-lasting staples from Quince.

I need this for my clothes.
Nope.
Quince, it's quite comfortable.
Hell yeah.
Yes, Adel.
Yeah.
Hey, Adel.
Hey, Aaron.
Can I tell you something that I'm kind of like ashamed of?
Yeah, of course, always.
When I was a kid, all of my two brothers, all of our birthdays are within a month,
and it's all around Christmas time.
So we used to just get like Christmas birthday gifts,
and sometimes we would just get like combo gifts together.
And I would always tell my brothers that we could pool all of our money together
and just get one big Lego.
And then I would insist on doing the Lego and putting it together myself.
How do you put together one big Lego?
Oh, I guess it's more like an expensive Lego kit, not one big Lego block.
I mean, you didn't really understand finances.
You didn't have anything like Acorns Early when you were growing up.
So how are you supposed to know?
He, he, hey, kids, it's me.
Birthday Santa.
Birthday Santa?
That's right.
You're real?
Yes.
And I want to tell you about Acorns Early, which is something JBC, it sounds like you and your brothers wish you.
you had. Yeah, we could have used. Yeah, absolutely. Acorn's early is the smart debit card and money
app that grows kids' money skills as they grow up. Oh, so cool. You can start with in-app chores
tracker and teach your kids the value of a dollar. Then let your kids set their own savings goals
and start building healthy money habits early. Kids can spend what they've earned with their very
own customizable debit card, giving them that extra sense of independence. Plus, with Acorn Early's
early spending limit and real-time spend notifications, parents always stay in control.
And I mean, I would have loved having this growing up. I would know way more about money than I do
right now. Right, right. I mean, but I'm like a newer thing. Like, I'm for kids who have birthdays
around Christmas. I understand. But all kids kids, but anyway, piggy banks are cute and great for
loose change, quarters, et cetera. But these days there are so much more that kids need to know
about money. He-he-he-horns early makes it easy to teach kids lifelong money skills that they can
actually use in the real world.
And I love the Acorns Early app.
I've played around in here.
My kids a little too young to start right now because they're kind of like a little toddler.
But I'm so excited for them to be able to use features like this because I think like
being able to track all of these things when you are young and have money literacy at a young
age is so, so, so important to being a, you know, person that exists in the world nowadays.
Well, I'm a person that exists in the world.
Who said I wasn't?
Yeah, no.

Oh, he, he, he, ho.
You guys have said Dodge Durango many times on your show.
There's like seven different uses of it.
That's so upsetting.
That's so upsetting.
Anthony, that's the worst news I've ever heard.
How many times have they said Toyota Tersell?
Let me check.
Everybody's just going on which riddle right now and typing a Toyota Tersell.
Come on.
Come on.
We should see like what 10 words we've said the most that aren't like the it.
It's got to be piss, right?
Piss come shit.
Casey clip that.
Any Toyota Tercell?
Oh, man.
Casey, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
It's a lot.
I'm going to start saying Toyota Tersel at the end of episodes.
Good, good, good.
I got to include it in this episode now.
All right.
I'm ready to come back.
All right, everybody.
Sentimentalness over.
I'm done with that stuff.
Except this next kind of thing.
Oh, well, okay.
These are some, this is a riddle from Sophia.
And I wanted to read this one because of, I think this email is a good indication of how
long our show has been going.
So Sophia says, huge fan of your work, been listening since like freshman year of high school, and now I'm going into my senior year of college.
Isn't that crazy?
Thank you for being such a weirdly integral part of my adulthood, the sound that you guys both made together.
That was really funny.
That being said, I'm sending this riddle in hesitancy because I'm not entirely sure if you've ever covered it.
I've been listening for so long.
I feel like I should know, but I don't.
And I'm terribly ashamed of that, but I don't want to re-listen to the entire.
podcast again to find out. Anyways, this riddle was written by an English bishop named Samuel Wilberforce in the 19th century and is considered unsolvable due to the fact that he died before he ever gave the answer to it.
What's funny, Adel? A man dying? Well, a bishop dying, to be clear. Any man of the cloth dying is funny.
I got a fucking, wait, what, did it say what year this was? 19th century. So it's the 19th century and he died before.
before you ever gave the answer to it.
Aaron, did they check his pockets?
Yeah, but also like, who is this guy giving?
Yeah, they took the loose change that was in a pocket.
How long was, did he, did he just have this riddle?
He said the riddle, and then how long did he sit on the answer part of it?
Like, was he just what it makes it sound like is he was writing the riddle and then he went,
Uh, okay.
Aaron, can I posit an alternative take?
Of course.
He put forward the riddle and was immediately stabbed to death.
Yeah.
That makes the most sense.
I was thinking, I was thinking like he was at like a dinner party on like, you know, like maybe it's like he's at a castle.
He's on like a parapet or something.
And he's like, oh, I've got a real riddle for it, a real stumper.
And he's a little drunk.
He says the riddle.
And then he just kind of like backs up, falls right over the side, you know, completely obliterates himself.
And people are like, fuck, that's an unsolvable.
And also, I wouldn't call it unsolvable.
I would just call it incomplete.
Well, let me read this to you because it might change your mind.
We might get it.
In my mind, this is like the riddle of all time.
So I feel like you have to address it at some point if you have not already.
The worst thing about it is not that there is no given answer, but that we have no way
of knowing if he actually had an answer in mind to begin with.
Samuel Wilberforce was apparently kind of a silly, goofy guy.
And people speculate that this was just a big prank and one of those nonsense riddles
with no real answer.
It's also entirely possible that it was written with a correct answer in mind, though.
I believe that it was, and it is solvable.
We just can't confirm what the solution is.
Here is the actual riddle.
And then there's also a Reddit thread of people guessing what the riddle is.
That I'll read you some of those.
Okay.
Are you ready for the riddle?
I feel like also when someone's like, it's a 19th century clergyman and someone's like, he was silly and goofy.
I'm like, he was gay.
He was just gay.
He just couldn't be that.
So.
And I'm actually glad that we have Antennae.
here because I feel like we really need
some more brain power
than we usually run on, which is a lot
I say to my friends. You now have a second
to brain cells to work with. Exactly.
My friends that I'm getting closer
and closer with over the last seven years
famously, guys, Adel,
Adel, take my hand.
I'm the sweetest of sounds
in orchestra heard, yet an orchestra
never was seen.
I'm a bird of gay plumage,
yet less like a bird.
Nothing ever in nature was seen.
Touch the earth I expire and water I die and air I lose breath, yet can swim and can fly.
Darkness destroys me and light in my death, and I only keep going by holding my breath.
If my name can't be guessed by a boy or a man, by a woman or girl, it certainly can.
What an asshole.
Yeah.
Yeah.
that I could like say a crazy bullshit thing
and then fucking off myself
and like surprise bitches
that's what you remember of me
I'm now in the history books for good
because I did a bullshit thing
this sounds like
remember when Luke Noel came on the show
and he just read us a riddle
and we like tried to guess at it for a little while
and he was like I just made that one up
it's just nonsense that was the best
that was the best
that might be my favorite moment
in the show's history
because that's the first time
a guest has gotten blood on their hands too
in the same way we
do like they that is the first time someone was like you know what i fucking know exactly what
this show is it does feel it does feel like this is like this man got mold in his brain
and he wrote this and everyone was like what a genius this this uncrackable riddle but it truly
does feel like the rantings of a dying man he was calling for the barber for sure um i mean
the answer could be god in terms of in god all things are possible which is probably what he
believe um the three answers that people have been giving are whale a painting comet um but what do you guys
think it is way a painting comet and aaron those are all three teams you were on at i oh yeah
those are all my harold team name whale a painting comet so what was the thing of a man or a boy
can't guess it but a woman or a girl can if my name
name can't be guessed by a boy or a man by a woman or a girl it certainly can i feel like there
isn't an answer to this yeah yeah this is bullshit okay well i would like to see a seed jpc you are
samuel you're the guy who wrote this riddle okay and anthony and adle you are the other bishops and
he's about to like walk up to you and you're kind of tired of his bullshit oh shit here he comes
Quick, quick, quick, come on, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Down the hall, down the hall.
Hey, oh, I'm just out for one of my early morning silly walks.
Yes, moving diagonally, as always.
Yes.
What's, what's the word?
Good morrow, brother, what's the word?
Your accent.
What's the word?
Hmm, interesting, what's the word?
Are you trying to guess the word that I'm thinking of?
You're thinking of a word?
What lives in a puddle but never gets wet.
What's baked in a loaf, but never gets wet.
What's moist in the middle and hard on the side and covered in gravy.
But beware, there's a...
Brother Withers Force.
Yes.
Last week when that gargoyle fell off.
the churched onto your head, we all thought
you were dead. You
Oh, a rhyme. Yeah, I didn't mean to. I guess I'm
rubbing off on you. Rub, rub, rub, rub, rub. Come on. Hey, come on.
We're all wearing mole hair. That's wildly
uncomfortable to do that. Yes. You're also
still bleeding from your head. We told you to stay with
the barber. I don't know why you're out of bed.
Oh, shit. You rhyme too.
Shit, fuck. I guess I'm rubbing off on
all of the brothers of this
order. Hey, do you think he might be gay?
see hey we're all gay
hey man we're all
we're all gay
I don't know why you're being weird about it
I also am amazed that we haven't
had anyone send that in before
or done that one before
yeah if it's such a famous
I think they respected you too much
did you say where he was from
um
let me look I don't think I did
but
by my ex
English yes written by an English bishop
I thought you said Indianapolis
circa 1988.
But I was like, okay, got this.
Perfect.
I could definitely do this.
All right.
20th century.
Fuck.
Also, while you guys were doing that scene,
I got another message
about a favorite moment of all time
and it's when Adel and JPC were chickens
and Addle did a chicken voice
at JPC did a regular voice.
If you guys remember that,
that my favorite.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Don't say chicken voice and regular voice,
okay?
Fucking, how normative
Are you...
Okay, he was like, I got a big cock,
the cock, the cock, my cock, my cock,
you're right, that is normal.
Oh, you know what?
Somebody animated that scene too.
Oh, really?
Yeah, that was a very fun one.
I was ghost and horse.
Ghost and horse.
Thank you.
All right.
These are from Eli, and they are movie mashup riddles.
And so I'm just going to basically read a description
and it's going to be two movies that,
movie titles that fit together.
Because they share a word or a,
a syllable or whatever. Very quickly, speaking of, I feel like of all the riddles we've done,
some of my favorite were when Anthony came on. I don't know if Anthony was hosting or he just
brought some of his riddles. I think we just read some of his riddles that he submitted. Yeah. Oh,
he just submitted them. Okay. But the ones that were it's like you have a bookends and you have to
kind of fill in the middle. I thought it was some of my favorite. I'm glad you liked those.
Agreed. And then Anthony, we've had a lot of people send those in since like you've inspired people to
write their own. It's really nice. I should have come up with a
snappy name for them. They haven't been
as good as yours. Oh, well. That's what matters.
Just so you know. And we'll, we'll forge you
the emails if you want to press. Oh yeah. So I can
have something to masturbate to you.
Wait, what?
Sex pests. Sex pests.
Don't, Casey, don't clip that.
I'm so paranoid all the time now.
I used to be free on this show.
And now I'm looking over my shoulder.
Because you still do it. You still chance sex pests.
I am having a
ton of sex though. I gave that one up for free. That one wasn't the soundboard. I'm taking the power
back. Don't give me soundboard clips that I've already got. Like what? Surf's up my guy 100%.
Oh. What the fuck am I supposed to do with that? You have no power here. And Casey, go ahead and
see if the token estate will give us access to that one. I would love it. All right, here we go.
Let's fly away to a fantastic place where we'll never have to grow up or face the traumatic reality
of growing up during the Spanish Civil War.
Either way, we're going to need
some pixie dust or a fairy.
Peter Pan's Labyrinth?
Yes, Adel.
Yes, Adel.
I forgot that there was a movie called Peter Pan,
and I was like, okay, so this is hook.
But I'm like, I don't think so.
I would like to see a scene.
Hmm, what do I want to see?
Adel, you are...
Peter Pan, but he's got eyes on his hands.
Yeah.
Adel, you're Peter Pan.
Yeah.
GPC, you're Captain Hook, and Anthony, if you want to come in as me, you can.
And you guys are just trying to sit down and find some common ground.
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Look, I'll level with you.
You can't kill me, I can't kill you.
We've tried a thousand times before.
It's just not happening.
That's fair.
But as long as you stand in the way of children, you know, oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I tend to keep doing so.
You know, maybe we're this relationship between the two of us.
Mm-hmm.
We should do a different tact.
We should try a different angle on it.
I'm listening.
Also, mind you, reaches into my pocket.
Tinkerbell is here.
Tinkerbell, announce yourself.
Mm-hmm.
I'm coughing up a lot of pocket lids.
Oh, God.
Oh.
wings are crushed as shit
can't fly
fucking Peter
fuck
oh because we don't believe
everyone clap your hands
you shoved me in your pocket
three weeks ago
and forgot I was there
fuck
oh were you in the dryer
yes I put you through
I am
so sorry
we have this like antagonistic
relationship and I'm wondering maybe we could
you know pivot transition it into more
like a romantic relationship
I don't know if that's doing anything for you.
What about your boyfriend Smee?
Yeah, I thought you and Smee were married.
You, slut.
I have been waiting behind that barrel for you to reveal the true self.
I thought I'd seen your true self when you took off the hook and I'd lick the stump,
but now I know what's really underneath that.
Oh, Smee, hey, buddy.
No, no, no, no.
Tinkerbell starts to float again.
Where did you get back from the store?
No, yeah.
I didn't even go to the store.
what the fuck we need peanut butter
I actually should go to the store
I'm sorry
Can I recommend a brand
Ah
Yes
Kiss
Kiss
Okay here we go
This one might be kind of hard
But maybe not
All my fairy tale dreams are coming true
In real life
This superhero suit
Has prominent nipples
It's Batman or Robin
That's got to be Batman
the George Clooney suits.
But there's a Batman, it's one of the Batman.
Batman Forever?
Yep.
It's Batman Forever.
That one didn't have nipples.
This is an inaccurate riddle.
That one didn't have nipples?
No.
Oh, well, okay.
Oh, yeah.
You got it right though, that person tell them they're fucking idiot.
Because it was Batman.
Anthony, see, I'm saying the quality of these went way down when you stopped
to date them.
Because I had that poster.
It was Batman and Robin had the nipples, right?
Yep.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Batman and Robin was the way.
Sex Pests
With
I was a child
And he was
George Clooney
I
The Batman and Robin
was the one
With Chris O'Don
Yes
But was that with
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Yeah
Thorntman
Poise and Ivy
And Mr.
Freeze
Yeah
And then it was
Val Kilmer
Had Timer
Lee Jones
and Jim Carrey
Yep
That right
Earlier today
I said
Ice to meet you
So not that
That movie
lives large
In my mind
But I do love
I do love
Mr. Freeze's
Ice puns
in that movie.
Adel, you did get it right.
It is Batman Forever After.
Forever After.
I want to suck your blood and dance with Emma Stone.
Draculala Land.
Yes.
Whoa.
Very nice.
I do think that movie would be improved if Ryan Gosling was a vampire in that movie.
Dracula invented jazz?
Yes.
Wow, I was thinking of crazy stupid love.
So I was thinking of a different Ryan Gosling, Emma
Stone movie.
Oh.
They got chemistry.
They do.
You can't deny it.
A band of merry men find some drug money in the desert, then prance and dance and
sing themselves away from a disturbing coin flipping man.
City Slickers too cruelly.
The country for old men in tights?
Yes.
Nice.
Fast.
He's fast.
I love that's my favorite one.
Jesus.
We got to get this guy on blank check.
Anthony, have you ever done blank check?
No, it's blank check other than the movie where that kid tried to
to fuck a grown woman.
Yeah.
Can we talk about that for a second?
I watched that movie during the pandemic.
Me.
I'm the sex pest.
I watched that movie in the pandemic.
It was in complete and total disbelief.
What in the actual fuck?
Can someone...
I'm upset.
And the guy, the guy who wrote that is the guy who writes
like the screenwriting Bible that everybody
who wants to be a screenwriter
fucking picks up, save the cat.
William Goldberg?
You too can write a story about it.
a young kid getting a million dollars
and trying to use it to buy a woman.
In fairness,
in the first draft,
he was trying to fuck Tone Loke.
They had to pivot.
Here we go.
I'm never traveling again.
First,
I got accosted on my flight
by these motherfucking slithering serpents.
Then I had to endure a road trip
with an insufferable
curtain ring salesman.
Planes trains.
Snakes on a plane trains and automobiles.
Yeah.
Yeah. I see dead people. And probably Kirsten Dunst. I just assume she's in all these period pieces. Nope. Sixth Sense and sensibility? Nope. It's Kate Winslet. She is not in that. It's Kate Winslet. Yes. I do want to see the same. Sure. Yeah. Anthony, I'd like you to be like a little kid a la Sixthense, a Hayley Joel Osmet type. And Aaron and I want you to be like a Victorian ghost who is just looking for someone to kind of hang out with.
Please.
Pst.
Oh, God.
Not again.
Hi.
I, um.
Can you put something on the TV?
Is that what they're called?
This is awesome.
I'll put on a horror movie, baby.
Is that something that would be appealing to you?
Truly anything.
I like the lights and colors coming out of the box.
This is so cool.
You know, we just had like candles and books and stuff.
Could you put your head like back onto your neck?
Or are you just going to keep holding it out while you talk to me?
I can't.
I can't.
I have to hold it.
Excuse me, sir.
Excuse me, sir.
Yes, Dad, you don't have to call me, sir.
How much longer are you going to be in the bathroom?
It's been 40 minutes and the shower's on.
Be perfect.
What a good way to celebrate seven years.
Yeah.
What a good way.
That is exactly right.
Inviting me to ruin all your fucking improv scenes because I don't know how to fucking do improv.
That's how we've been...
That is exactly how we've been doing improv this whole time.
Anthony learned how to do improv by listening to four seasons of this show.
Yeah.
Self-taught.
Yesterday I had a...
The show Quality Time I host in Los Angeles.
I had that.
And a sweet listener of the show, he is on a college improv team.
And he started listening to us when he was a freshman in high school.
And I was like, I wanted to ask, I was like, have we ruined...
Us being people's introduction into improv makes me feel nervous.
Yeah, that's Foxx, because I started improv when I was a freshman in high school,
and I had, like, Colin mockery and Ryan Stiles.
Incredible improvisers.
I'm in love with a fish man, and all these poor...
Yeah, I am. Is that okay?
Is that okay?
Is that okay?
I'm in love with a fish man, and all these poor rabbits are dying.
The shape of water ship down?
Wow.
A relatively small number of shirtless, oiled-up Greek men
go to slow-motion war to save a relatively large number
to save a relatively large number of precious pups
from being turned into fabulous furs.
300 and one Dalmatians?
Yeah, 300.
This is Cruella.
301 Dalmatians is just like,
how many sequels have we done to this movie
that were at 301?
Kick a dog down the well.
I'm just having
Adel, you said that as sort of an aside
but now that's sort of the image in my brain
Hark, Willem Defoe
unleashes the perfect monologue
while Paris Hilton tries to run away
from Madam Tussauden.
House of Wax.
Yes.
Lighthouse of Wax.
Incredible.
I'd like to see a scene.
I was going to say Lighthouse
one night in Paris?
The second movie she was in.
Holy shit, I haven't thought about that since, at least this week.
Lighthouse, lighthouse bunnies?
That was shot in Nightvishol, right?
Yeah, yeah.
She did some good slurs in that one.
It was a real, real treasure if you got it off Kazaa.
Cazaar.
Erin, you remember a person sex tape, right?
No, that didn't cross my desk if you could believe it.
You were banging on that thing asking for pictures of Spider-Man, and someone was like, I have this, and you were like, Spider-Man.
Yeah.
Can I see a scene?
JBC and Anthony, you are two old men who have been living in a lighthouse together for quite some time.
So I'm getting the feeling that you might be gay.
Uh, well, I've never really even considered it before.
Maybe I'm just expressing wishful thinking.
No, uh, I kind of always.
thought of myself as more of an asexual type,
seeing as we've lived in this lighthouse for six decades,
and we've kind of never...
But yeah, you know, I mean, I could be...
Not for lack of trying on my part.
Have you been missing my signals?
Oh.
That I've been sending you from the lighthouse
that say, fuck me raw in Morse code?
That's why all of those horny ships have been...
Oh, that's why the horny ships are...
Oh!
We're the worst lighthouse in this whole coastline.
We've killed so many sailors.
Yeah.
We're kind of like the sirens.
Oh, my God, looking down at my body, perfect breasts, fish tail.
I think we might be sirens.
Oh.
Are sirens, mermaids?
I don't think so.
I think we're just hot and we hang out on rocks.
Okay.
Oh, hey, look, a boat's coming.
A yoo-hoo.
Hello.
Oh, my God.
We're here to be fucked rock.
It's a siren crew.
Cruze.
Sex, pest, sex, sex, pest, sex, sex, sex.
Horatio Sands is piloting the boat.
Horatio Sands is cruise.
One of the sirens says the Mariah Carey.
The six-octive screen.
Sirens are just, sirens are just ladies, right?
They're not.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I thought that they were kind of fish as well.
They hang out in the water for sure zies.
They're creatures who lure men to their deaths.
But they're on the rocks, right?
Bird-like features.
Fuck, you're right.
They're birds.
Lower body of a bird.
That's hilarious.
Or sometimes a fish tail.
You're right.
But they're like women birds.
They're lady birds.
They're lady birds.
They all look like Sersha Ronan or Lori Metcalf.
And then I think that their appearances change when you get closer.
So maybe they look more like ladies when you're far away.
That's true of like most people.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I look the same.
the space as I do.
I mean, that's what happened with manatees where they're like, a mermaid, a beautiful
woman.
And then they got closer and they're like, yep, I fucked a beautiful woman.
I think about that all the time, how they were, these sailors were definitely having
sex with like manatees.
And it makes me, I wish I could unknow it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
And saying that you're being judging about people won't have sex with manatees.
Yeah.
My big thing is, anything to share.
There must have been a time in history before corrective lenses.
So I think a lot of people were just like, I think that's.
It's just, I think that's a topless woman in the water waving to me.
Yeah, and then the manatee is smoking a cigarette go, yeah, toppless woman.
That's a callback to the Zeus joke.
Wait, wait, when you're on a boat and you're fucking a manatee, at that point, why don't
you just be like, I'm just going to fuck Jeff here on the boat?
Yeah, that's a bunch of men afraid of their sexuality.
Can you imagine how much that would hurt your feelings if you're on a boat with people
for years and years and then they see a manatee?
Hey, man, you know, I'm just as horny as you, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you put a fish in the water?
No, I just, I felt like you and I didn't really have much chemistry or...
Chemistry!
What's that?
You fucked the fish!
Anyways, any one of anything to plug that isn't our new podcast, a cum shoes and dragons?
I think we should be exclusively, we shouldn't waste our plugs this week on anything else but cum shoes and dragons.
Because that, it's, hey, look, it's a lot of fun.
The podcast is awesome.
We've recorded like seven episodes.
one you got some Dungeons and Daddy's crew on them it's a blast guys it's it's fun all the guests
are fun uh Anthony does a great job he kills it as the so good um we're we we kill it as a
clueless idiots uh which is what we play best we do an episode called moats and mommies i want to say
have you guys done moats and mommies yet anthony we talked about something along those it was
mazes and mothers um we've i think we recorded a uh
a test episode for a long time ago
but women aren't funny so we didn't do it
that was such a good point I forgot
I always forget
why am I here
but please
give it a shot
if you're a fan of any of this
it's because you're not a woman look down it's all bird
and fished out there I knew it

Anthony I are the same

their audio. If you're a fan of Anthony or you like our stuff or even Casey Tony's sweet
sweet editing skills, please give it a shot. I'm proud of it. I think it's great. And we'd be
really happy and grateful if you looked into it. And like and subscribe. Do those things as well
with the likes and the subscribes because that's also important to do. Tell your friends. That's
probably the biggest thing. Tell your friends, gum shoes and dragons. And I want to say
I'm really, really grateful for seven years of this podcast with you guys.
Also, Anthony, again, someone who doesn't love compliments.
I'm not in, I'm not part of this.
Don't address me.
Why are you roping Anthony into it?
Yeah, I didn't do anything.
I didn't do anything.
I'm sinless.
Anthony, you listened to our show and then you brought us on as guests on Dungeons and Daddies.
And I think truly a third of our episodes, a third of our listeners have come from
that episode.
And a third of our episodes too
Yeah
You haven't listened to a while
You're telling me you owe me money
That's what you're saying
Well I did I said something like
But all I'm just saying is I'm grateful
I'm very grateful for this
And I'm grateful for everyone
Who's been listening since the beginning
And I'm sorry if we've caused you
Any sort of brain damage
I apologize
But thanks guys for Adel
Thank you for asking me to do the show
And JPC Adel
Anthony thanks for everything
That's all I'm going to say
Two more years
Two more years
Two more years.
This is, yeah, this is reliably the highlight of my week.
And speaking of highlights of your week,
if you're listening to this on the day that it comes out on the 30th of July,
Hey Rital Rural has a show in Los Angeles this Friday, on Friday the 1st.
But also, we're doing a live stream of that show.
So if you want to get a ticket to the live stream, do it before the show starts,
and you can watch it for up to a week after, I think, that that live stream or the show ends.
but it's the only live stream that we're doing as part of this tour.
So if you're not on any of our other tour stops, go to hey rid of riddle.com slash live,
click the link for the live stream for the L.A. show, and you can get a ticket to the live stream.
As someone who's not on this show and doesn't know any of these people really, I would highly recommend doing it.
I think maybe the hardest I've ever laughed in a public venue was at the last Hey, Redo Riddle live show I went to with hard quiz.
Oh.
Yeah, hard. Okay, hard quiz. That was fun.
Yeah, that's a highlight for me for sure.
Yeah, and more people would have listed that
if it hadn't been a live show
that only a few people saw
and I think we never released the Patreon
or the audio. The clip of it's on our Instagram.
The clips of that and Heartbreak High,
which was also extremely fucking funny
are on your against I think.
There you go, there you go.
Hey, that's the best promo for our live show
that I've ever heard.
Well, thanks, guys.
Jupiter.
Hey, why do you say Jupiter at the end of episodes?
Like, when do you say a planet?
I don't know.
Casey, cut it.
Casey, cut that out.
