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 was a day.
Two, three, four, hey, riddle bridge, so.
Aaron, JPC, I've done it.
I've done it.
I've created the perfect character.
Oh, that'll, looks like you haven't slept in a few days.
Yeah, no, I haven't.
And I am chock-a-block.
Oh, bless you.
Sorry, excuse me.
Continue.
No, I'm covered in dust, and that's the thing.
I had to roll around in the dirt under the moon.
To come up with the perfect character, Aaron, I give her unto the
Jennifer Monster Popcorn
Now, hear me out
Jennifer Monster Popcorn may sound like your tip
Addle. Not only will I hear you out, I will show you out.
This is the door.
Okay.
You are not welcome here with suggestions like that.
But is Jennifer Monster Popcorn welcome?
Hi, I'm Jennifer Monster Popper.
No, it's nothing. That's nothing.
She came to life.
Oh.
And she didn't. And she's dead.
Wow, I'm Jennifer Monster Popcorn, and I make the news.
Yeah, this is nothing at all.
I'm really trying.
Does she produce the news or she just gets on the news?
How did you make the character without getting to that?
I should have thought through everything.
Critical point.
I'm Jennifer Monster Popcorn and I make the news.
I produce it and then I also do a lot of stuff around town that gets me in front of the camera.
This just in on Channel 5, Genester Monster Popcorn.
You're fired.
You.
Pack up your desk.
You're out of here.
I'm back of my desk.
I don't know.
I'm trying.
Yeah, motherfucker.
JPC, you do your, you, you, you, you try your Jennifer Monster popcorn.
Oh, wow.
I don't know what that was.
I think maybe you just have got the character to get this morning.
You got to get some of the.
See, I thought too much popcorn.
Oh, interesting.
Interesting.
Half a dozen of one, 10 to one or the other.
I'm Jennifer Monster Popcorn.
From the movie theater popcorns, yeah.
My family is very rich, and I go to boarding school in Sweden.
And not, no?
So she's basically Rooney Mara?
Let me try again.
Yeah, if you got Rooney Marr from it, it still needs a lot of work.
Yeah.
The name is popcorn.
Jennifer Monster popcorn.
All right, Adel, I came around on it.
This is a good idea.
I like it.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Aaron, thank you for bringing, breathing lines.
into Jennifer Monster Popcorn.
JBC, thank you for reluctantly coming around to my idea.
I feel like this is going to be a good episode.
Uh, yeah.
Oh, oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And, Adel, would you mind saying where you got Jennifer Monster Popcorn from?
One.
Two.
Three.
Monster popcorn.
Jennifer Monster Popcorn is my maiden name.
I was eating Jennifer Monster Popcorn in the lab, and this sucks.
pleased to meet you Jennifer Monster Popcorn
Would you mind saying where you got Jennifer
Monster Popcorn from or is that
I dug up some graves
And the ground is really hard this time of year
So I guess I should say I tried to dig up some graves
But I couldn't so I went to a dumpster behind a pet store
Addle shuffling his feet and looking down
And I kissed each brain
And then I sewed them together
And then I found some popcorn from the local
AMC that got dumped in there.
We got him.
With what we don't know.
Jennifer's 20
new brains and 10
grams of Carmel cord. He's definitely
been got in some form or fashion.
We've definitely, and
something's happened. And something has definitely
happened. We've got someone for something.
We got someone for something because they did
something bad.
We're not sure.
And we're not sure. We got our best Jennifer
Monster popcorn on it though.
Um, hey guys.
Hi, Erin.
How, why does it feel so easy to bullshit and spin our wheels when I'm not old man puzzles?
Why does it come so naturally to me to waste time?
Who's going to tell her this is her episode?
Fine, I guess I'll get into riddles four minutes in.
Hey, Aaron, you're running the show, girl.
You can do it every you want to do.
Now, Aaron, we are in the spooky month.
Do you want to kill time talking about what are some good ideas for Halloween costumes this year?
Sure.
Sounds like Adel might want to kill time talking about the Halloween costume thing.
It's like, you might have something for that.
All right.
I'm reading the news trying to find something fun in the news.
Do you want to share with the entire class?
I wasn't prepared.
Aaron, are you doing anything?
Do you think you're going to be doing anything for Halloween this year?
doing any of that costume parties and stuff like that?
I'm going to be out of town for Halloween, so no costume parties for me.
I might dress Lou Up as Paddington Bear.
Ooh, yes, yes.
Or Samwise Gamgee for Halloween this year, sometime within that week, but I am going to be out of town.
So. Damn.
And you said you're going to a town that outlaws Halloween a la footloose, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're not allowed to celebrate.
Yeah.
or dance
it's really stressful
wow so they're really going
hard into the footloose thing
huh uh and jbc your kid
are they at the age where they
understand what Halloween is and
are they able to like pick out a costume
are we still
doing that for them? I mean they can pick out
clothes pretty reliably but I don't
we have not gone like costume
shopping but I will say
that having a kid is a lot like having
a little doll when they're young
because like you can just like pick out a bunch of clothes that you think that they would look good in and then be like which one of these clothes do you want to wear um so you know we've already the Halloween season's already upon us we've already dug into the Halloween outfits do they know what they're being for Halloween do you know well I would say probably nothing because they're not going to do anything for Halloween but oh okay have you ever dressed spaghetti up for Halloween no Spaghetti is not like wearing costumes there's I think
did we, I think we put her in something once that was like not even costume related and she just tried to get it off the entire time. I am in the camp of, if you have a dog that enjoys being in a costume, go for it. But the people that like force their dogs in a costumes for a picture, well, the whole time the dog is just like trying to like scrape the thing off with their claw. I'm like, eh, I don't know. I mean, my dog has too much anxiety for me to like do something to her. Yeah, yeah, that's awful.
And Aaron, you said you're going to force a costume on loop?
Did I mention, did I say something about putting a Pennington costume on mine?
I don't remember that.
Sam Wise, Angie.
I don't know if it's for something, but like, I think a lot of people do it for like social media and I don't use social media.
So like, what am I going to do?
Take a picture of my dog in a costume and then like in conversation, like show it to someone on my phone.
Be like, hey, look at this costume that I put up my dog.
That is exactly what I do.
Yeah, I don't know.
I have several costumes at first that don't make it to social media.
About a year ago before me and my Zorp started dating.
We were buddies.
And he came over.
and I went, we got a surprise for you.
And he was like, what?
And I had put Lou in a chicken costume.
Because, of course.
Big surprise.
And then he closed his eyes and she ran over and she hit him in the nuts as like hard as
as she could.
And he opened his eyes and Lou was dressed like a chicken and he was in a ton of pain.
And he was like, I can't believe I just lived a 90s beer commercial in real life.
And honestly, we died laughing.
We laughed for like 90 minutes.
So that costume.
trying to brought me and Zorp together ultimately.
That absolutely rules.
And now I, throughout the year, we'll buy little costumes for my cats.
And two of them, as soon as you put a costume on, we'll start to, like, claw it off.
But Teeny is so malleable.
And we put a cowboy hat on him recently and did a little photo shoot.
And I got to say, teeny and a little cowboy hat melts my heart.
Okay.
I feel like you're sitting on some wealth.
Trickle those photos down to me, buddy.
Hello.
We'll see.
Yeah, Aaron, we'll see.
We'll see.
How good you are this October.
Ah.
Yeah.
I don't want to have to be good.
You got to share the wealth around.
And I think that if it's, if it doesn't hurt the animal and you enjoy it, by all means, go ahead and put your dog in a costume.
But I won't be putting my anxious dog at a costume ever.
Lou, I think the hat stuff can sometimes bother her.
But Lou, like, loves being contained in a thing.
Like a thunder shirt?
Like a thunder shirt.
but like even her winter coat in Chicago
and her sweatshirt that she would wear
like when she, once she
is in it, I think she really likes
the pressure of that part
of it. I think it's just the anything, if I don't
cover her ears with the head thing and I put it
in front or behind, she's okay, but
it's, I think it's mostly an ear thing
for her. I love like a
dog showing up to like a Halloween
party and they're just wearing a thunder shirt
and they're like, yeah, I'm a thunder shirt. And someone's
like, yeah, thunder shirt's not really like a costume
though. It seems like, no. There's a
thunderstorm outside currently, and are you maybe a little anxious, Todd?
My owner said I'm a thundershirt, so that's what I am for Halloween.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm a thunder shirt.
I'm a thunder shirt.
So you all want to smell butts, or what are we doing?
Because butts are our beer, right?
So it's like we won't drink beer because butts are our beer?
I'm a dog.
My dog's Temple Grandin.
Oh, brother.
I sent the picture of Teeny and the Cowboy House.
if you want to take a peek and then do the people listening to this i didn't even have to be good
oh my god at all he's a little sheriff also the most beautiful eyes i've ever seen
holy smokes teenie's got beautiful little eyes and i do love i do love how it seems like he's like
i'm okay with this hat on me it doesn't bother me at all well at the same time saying please father
take it off i'll see pictures of people's dog sometimes and like the dog will have that like side eye thing
which is just like, you know,
shorthand for like dog stress.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, you shouldn't have done this.
This picture that you took, it's not cute.
It's not cute.
Your dog's in trouble right now.
I'm trying to rack my brain to be like,
what are the fun things from the news this year
to sort of transform into fun Halloween costumes?
And all I can think of is just fire and brimstone in hell.
That's a dry well, by then.
That is a dry well.
This year has been maybe the worst to date in the history of life.
One of the fun things from the news.
Yeah.
Kind of tough to pan for that goal.
There's bound to be some fun things happening in the news.
We got some original riddles here from Andrew Brisees.
He knew I wouldn't be able to pronounce his full name.
B-R-I-S-C-E-S-E.
B-R-E-S-E.
Is that a Greek name, B-S-E-S-E?
I don't know.
What about this?
You wear like a nice suit and then you like covered yourself and like watered up paper and you go as Trash Patel.
I don't know.
I don't know if we're even in the mood to laugh about anything.
Do you know what I mean?
Like I just feel like it's done.
The guy shows up as Trash Patel and someone's like, hey man, it's just like no one's really in the mood for Trash Patel.
And we can, we understand what you did, but no one really wants to be here with Trash Patel at this party.
So...
I get it.
I get it.
Yeah.
I did something really wrong.
I get it.
Yep.
So, Andrew actually wrote us two emails.
One in June of last year?
Yes.
Well, Aaron, here's a good way to tell.
What does the year say?
Hold on.
If it's going to say...
If it says 2024, Aaron, that's last year with a bullet.
Well, he actually, I think, has sent three emails.
One in 2023.
Okay.
Well, then he needs to stop.
And then one in, uh, 2024 and then one recently in 2025.
So these are kind of riddles that have been slowly dripping in from Andrew.
Um, don't say dripping in from Andrew.
Okay.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Get a hold of yourself.
Well, before we get started, I want to read what Andrew said.
Okay.
I love your show and have listened to every episode of Hey Riddle and Clue Crew twice and
I'm working on a third time.
This is the one from 2023.
Oh, man.
I hope that the 2024 when it's like,
Hey, guys, did it the third time.
Big mistake.
Truly shouldn't have done that.
And then Andrew gave us an update in 2024.
I just wanted to update you on how many times I've listened to the show.
I've now listened to every episode of both Hayward and Roodle and Clue crew five times.
Andrew, no.
In case you were wondering, I listen at a normal one X speed and don't listen while sleeping.
I just listen all day because I have issues.
Anyways, in one episode, Aaron said anyone who listened to every episode five times would be thrown a parade.
So I'll be expecting that any day now.
So before we do Andrew's riddles, I want you guys to do, you know when they have the Macy Thanksgiving Day parade and they have like two people from NBC sort of narrating what's happening.
I want you guys to be the two hosts of the Andrew five time listening to Hey Riddler Riddles parade and sort of commentate on what you see in the parade.
And thanks, everyone, for joining us here.
We're back at the five-time listener parade.
This is, of course, for listener, Andrew Shijewski.
Not sure how to say that.
Dan, you want to take a stab?
No.
Yeah.
Didn't think so.
Of course, Dan, our color commentary,
he's going to let us know what floats are passing by outside the window as we speak.
Huh, that's what I'm going to do?
Yeah, and then my job is to sort of the interstitial,
Gab
All right
Wait, hold on
Hey guys
Leave the fight at the bar last night
Let's just focus on the parade
Okay
The color commentary guy
His job is not
The interstitial gab
Could you hear me?
Could you hear me?
Yeah, Jennifer Monster Popcorn
My character takes their headset off
He throws it
Oh I think Dan just quit
Right?
No, no I'm still on mic
I'm just not taking producer notes today
Of course
Here comes one of the
the biggest floats that we have in the five-time listener parade.
Dan, you want to tell us what float that is?
That's Snoopy, of course.
It wouldn't be a five-time listener parade without a big fucking Snoopy in the air.
Mm-hmm.
Of course, floats are hard to make and even harder to sustain with helium and manpower.
So that's the interstitial gab.
Floats are hard to make?
You're the fun one, and I'm the dry one.
And I give kind of the behind-the-scenes workload factoids.
Put your headset on Dan.
He threw his headset.
Put your headset on Dan.
I want to talk to him.
Okay, let me do.
What the fuck is this?
Hey, motherfucker.
Do your job.
I thought I was.
I thought I was supposed to be light and fun, not introduce.
The color commentary guy never introduces.
Just look at whatever float you see and call it out.
It's not that hard.
It all looks like Snoopy to me.
Yeah.
Al Roker does this in his fucking sleep.
You can do it.
Go.
And, of course, 10 to 12 floats have breezed by as we were off the air.
What do we miss? What do we miss? Okay. Snoopy. Snoopy. What's the guy? The Charlie Brown guy, he's covered in flies.
Blindness? Pigton? No, no, the dog. Pigpen. Oh, Snoopy.
Snoopy. What else do we have here?
Woodstock? Nope, that's Snoopy.
Great pumpkin. Great Halloween pumpkin. Oh, this one's just a dog house. Nope, Snoopy on top.
None of these are Snoopy.
Look at what you see and say it with your eyes.
Santa has passed by.
Uncle Santa has passed by.
Uncle Snoopy just passed by.
The GP Riddles float is come and gone.
I'm just getting this in from the producer.
It is a Black Day here on the five anniversary listen parade.
Santa has passed by.
No, no, no, no.
He is survived by his wife.
Pull it back, pull it back.
Uncle Santa passed by on his float.
Christmas.
And he mooned the cross.
Crowd. Get the details correct.
He will be on the moon. No, no. Please do not crowd.
Oh, my God, take off the heads out. You're not even fucking listening.
I'm sorry, I am not listening.
Guys, these headsets are calibrated to the individual who it's supposed to be made for.
I'm wearing another man's headset.
Of course, we owe the Vince Goraldi State $250,000 for that snippet of Christmas time,
as sung by the Charlie Brown Choir.
Say here comes Iowa Central.
High School's marching band
with a great rendition
of the show's theme.
Here comes rendition's marching theme
with a high school
of Snoopies.
I'm on ayahuasca.
Me too.
Guys, that's exactly how I pictured
that going. Thank you.
You're welcome, Erin. Thank you, Erin.
Well, Andrew, there's your parade.
And I know I'm going to give the update
about what you said this year
of how many times you listened. But first, let's do
your original riddles that
you sent. And I think these riddles are great. Here we go. Okay. I'll be the judge of that and I'll probably
say that they're great. Great. My steeds made of plastic or wood or steel, but I'm often soft and
pleasant to feel. I protect what ought to be clean and pristine, but in doing so, I ensure it's not
to be seen. What am I? So, Aaron, my steeds are soft and pristine. Is it, you said steeds are
Like horses?
No.
My steed's made of plastic or wood or steel.
But I'm often soft and pleasant to feel.
Is this a tongue and the teeth or horses or something?
Teeth or horses.
Good thinking.
Steed.
Is steed in this a literal horse?
Mm-mm.
No, but it's, would it be something that's like, it's steeds plural, right?
Like it was like a, like I was thinking like dog sled or something, but the steeds are plastic,
wood or steel?
Like my steed is made of plastic or wood or steel
Like steed
A Santa lawn ornament
Or like a chessboard
Oh chess board's great
Yeah like it's something that covers up something else
And the thing that it covers can be made of plastic or wood or steel
Trump administration
EFSI files
It covers it
It's a thing that is famously covering things to keep something clean
Hmm
Cash Patel
What is something?
Keep something. Keep something clean. Is this? Oh, like those things that old people put on their couches.
Oh, could you go as the Epstein birthday book? Oh, my God.
No, you can't. No, because it doesn't exist, J.BZ. We can't play fictional things during Halloween.
That's right. Yeah, it was faked. It was all faked.
This keeps something clean. So, Aaron, is it, is it? Like a sheet or?
Yeah, that's really close.
A sheet is close. A sheet is really.
Close.
A blanket?
I bet you could use a sheet as a replacement for this.
And I'm sure a lot of people do.
Oh, prophylactic.
No.
We got a condom.
No.
I'm actually sort of really confused how to use a sheet as a condom.
I'm actually sort of really confused.
I'm actually sort of really confused over here.
Like a sheet in this basically look exactly the same.
I think that they are typically made of a.
that's close to
but this is
this is maybe used
on like a special occasion
sometimes it can be
for like a holiday
tablecloth
yes a tablecloth
I would like to see
you can absolutely use a sheet
as a tablecloth in a pinch
JPC you are
a parent in a family
and your kids are home
for the holidays
and you've set out
this like gorgeous meal
on a table
that is like
so formally set
and you just want everyone
to get along
and have a good time and rise to the occasion of how formal this meal is.
Well, guys, I cooked all day.
Wow. Good job, pops.
Yeah, dad's never really done an all-day cook like this before.
It was pretty challenging.
Everything kind of came together in the right way.
Did you email Mom for any of the recipes, or did you wing it?
This is me not using Mom's recipes, kind of using some of my own creations.
Well, I mean, it wasn't all me.
It was a, I, I had an Emerald-Lagasy cookbook from 2002.
And so I used.
Oh, that's what you got in the divorce, right?
No, this is something that dad got for himself, bam.
Just to kind of, yeah, it's just like a post-divorce thing.
It was not something that I got in the divorce or, you know, because the divorce champ would have been our stuff.
So it wouldn't be, I wouldn't get new stuff from the divorce.
Yeah, Troy, we went to Troy's for.
for Easter, and it was kind of incredible.
Troy is like, is he, he's James Beard.
Yeah.
James Beard Award winning, right?
Yeah, and he's like, I think total across all of his restaurants,
like 15 Michelin stars, which is crazy for someone so young.
And so tall.
He's 6.8, 245.
Tall for a chef.
But anyways, Dad, I'm sure this is so great.
Like, I'm sure this is going to be so, so good.
Yeah, well, you know, we just don't get to do holidays, you know, every holiday.
And I know you two are both on other sides of the country.
So I thought, well, this is a special occasion.
Oh, we moved back.
Oh.
Yeah, we moved back.
Just been busy, I guess.
Oh, okay.
No.
Well, great.
I mean, you could have stayed.
It doesn't matter.
Troy's picking us up at eight.
Tonight he's picking up at eight.
So we better get moving.
Yeah, we better.
Yeah. It's 715.
I'm going to leave some room for whatever.
Troy made
Oh, Troy's crumbled
Oh, Troy's crumbled
Dad, are you wearing your suit from your wedding?
Like, this looks like a suit from the 80s.
I am wearing a suit
because I thought it would be nice to just
to dress up.
Pretty crazy that I could still fit into this thing, huh?
That's pretty cool, your old dad.
I can still fit for all unbuttoned.
Yeah, the buttons are all unbuttoned.
Well, I fit in it.
You know?
You're sort of wearing the jacket as a scarf.
I'm sort of wearing it, though.
I'm wearing it.
Right.
Look, guys kind of level with you.
Yeah.
This is all Costco shrimp cocktail.
I was going to say.
They just give you so much, and I can't eat it alone.
And I should give up the membership, but it keeps charging me.
And then I'm like, I'll cancel it.
But I'm like, well, I have it for a year, so I won't cancel it.
And then I forget about the year.
It slips up, and they keep charging me.
Dad, why are you shopping a place where you have to buy in bulk?
I don't know.
Kate, I just don't know.
I don't think I should be.
I know that I shouldn't be.
I just keep doing it.
So when you were fake cooking all day, what was it?
No, I was really cooking.
Oh, no.
Shrimp cocktail is raw.
I cooked it all.
Oh, no.
This is cooked shrimp cocktail.
Oh, pops.
I think I did scampy, bam.
Smells so bad.
Don't say bam.
No.
It smells like burnt plastic.
Did you put it in the oven in the Costco tray?
Well, they don't have a tray.
That was too long of a pause.
That was too long of a pause.
No, it's just the right amount of pause.
No, no, no, no.
That felt endless.
No, I should have been just the right amount.
I thought I left just the right amount of pause in there.
You're a hole in your brain from these fumes, Dad.
You can't put plastic in the oven.
Dad, I'm looking at the counter.
Is cereal for dessert?
Is it cookie crisp that's on the counter, the dessert?
No, cereals for every other of my meals.
You're having cookie crisp for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
Dad.
And I still fit to my old suit.
So that's not bad, huh?
Dad.
Still fit into the old suit.
It's sort of a cookie crisp lasagna.
It's a baking pan.
Man, it's a base of cookie crisp, frosting.
Yep.
Layer of cookie crisp, frosting, layer of cookie crisp, frosting.
Dad, you can't eat this.
No, it's not just that.
At one point, I do say, bam.
Dad, you look malnourished.
Like your eyes are sunken in.
No, no, no, no.
Your eyes are sunken in.
You look unwell.
Hey, okay, I see what this is.
I see what's happening.
I see what's going on.
Just go to Troy's.
I know you all want to go to Troy's.
Just do it.
No, God, you're here.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to eat my shrimp.
I'm gonna eat my cookie crispy
lasagna. You know, I don't need
your pity, okay? I'm here.
I wanted to have a nice dinner. Nobody else wants to do that.
I said dress up nice. Kevin, you're
wearing jeans. That's insane.
Jeans are nice. Jeans are nice.
He's a well-tailored jeans. How do you know
your brother's gene brand? Well, I
got it for him for his birthday.
His big birthday party last month, I got him
really fancy jeans. Gee, I mean,
he never had a birthday.
Wasn't a big part.
Sort of a modest to-do.
I know he had a birthday.
I'm his father.
And also, everyone has one.
But I'm sorry I told you that I was in the Canary Islands.
I was in town and I threw.
Troy, let me rent out the west wing of his house.
I don't know why you're trying to make this a competition between Troy and I.
Troy and I are cool.
Oh, it's not a competition.
Oh, I agree.
He's, if it was, he'd win.
Troy's way better than me.
I understand.
Look, your mom got an upgrade, okay?
But that doesn't mean that you lost to dad.
I'm still here for you guys.
I can be here for you emotionally.
Does you don't want to tell me about anything?
Does anyone want to maybe have an eating disorder?
Maybe they're eating cookie crisp lasagna for every meal.
So, wants to share that with dad?
I accidentally called Troy Dad the other day for the first time, and it went pretty well.
Me too.
Why is that pause so long?
I got no beef with me.
Try.
That's his new cookbook.
Bam!
It's all vegetarian cooking.
Bam!
From 2002 really got me.
Ambril Lagossey said bam, right?
Yeah.
He said bam.
Oh, that's a great question.
It was bam.
Bam?
It was bam.
Yeah.
I said it like I knew it, and then as soon as it left my mouth, I thought, I don't
know for sure that that's the, I know it was a thing.
I just don't know what he said.
Yeah, he was bam all the way.
Here we go.
We ready?
We're ready.
My first is a sibling.
one of four. If you're allergic, I may make your nose sore. My second's a tool that can be
stretched or condensed, but watch out. I can pop. If you make me two tenths, my third provides
what all need to live. Come and find me in nature. I have plenty to give. Is balloon the second part?
No. This is all the same word. So the first, second, third is all the same word, just a different
meaning of that word, I guess.
Or like a different way of looking at it.
Oh, air.
No.
Fuck.
I've really thought it should be air.
What?
Yeah, what makes your allergies worse?
Pollen.
Yeah, when does that sort of start?
Summer.
Spring.
Yes.
It's a spring.
A spring.
A second is a tool that can be stretched or condensed, but watch out.
I can pop if you make me two cents.
All right, I would like to see a scene.
Okay.
The three of us are going to be different.
seasons, and we're talking about the fourth season that isn't there behind us back.
And I blew and blue and ice and snow did follow with it.
That's such a good impression of winter summer. That's crazy. He sounds exactly like that.
You fucking nailed me. You nailed me. Oh, oh, Winter. Hi, Winter. I've been here the whole
time. Oh, you kind of blend in with the white walls, I guess. Winter. Winter.
Winter, we were, winter.
We were just, winter.
We were just thinking about you, Winter.
Wait, wait, wait, what's going?
We were all just talking shit on fall.
I've been here the whole time.
Oh.
Oh.
Um, we thought this was sort of a date that we were on.
Spring and summer left to hang.
We sort of are beloved.
Twinsies.
Isn't that right, summer?
We are so similar.
Similar.
We're insane.
I mean, yeah.
I'm basically the same as Summer.
A cool girl.
Her and I are really close.
Anyways, winter.
What?
Um.
Winter.
We just spent, you, you're just, we just spent 20 minutes talking about how, like, fall is such an asshole and it's...
You did.
You were talking about how false an asshole, I guess.
I kind of heard it in the background, but I didn't know who was saying is.
We kind of definitely think about fall that much.
I mean, she's nice, but she's...
Man, I really misread this.
Uh, okay, well, are you guys ready to order?
Um, yes, I'll do the brand Zino.
I can't pass up whole fish.
you know that. What else? Truffles, um, berries. I'll do a rosé, uh, sort of first warm day.
You know how it is. Mm-hmm. A rosé and a somber bradzito.
Well, you make me sound like I am insane. What do you want, lighter?
Yeah, what are you going to have like a stew and some mead winter?
I'm at work. If I get a shift meal, I'm probably going to do a stew. It's 95 degrees. You want to eat a bread and
You want to have a hot piece of fish and the summer, hey, good, good Lord, I'll do it.
I'll put the order out.
I'm just wanting to make sure you didn't panic order that, and you might want to take
another try on a summer.
No, a brandzino, great.
One brandzino, and then you want to just rosé?
If you must know, Spring and I have been talking about branding, because I'm sure you've heard
of like Hot Girl Summer and, like, Cool Boy Spring.
So it feels like...
I've definitely heard of one of those.
We've really tapped into this.
guys where it just feels like every year we're trying to like really, obviously we're the
two popular months. So we're trying to like really capitalize on, we want to be
entrepreneurs. Yeah. So we're trying to really capitalize on branding. So we're trying to do
Brandzino summer or, you know, summer of Branzino. Um, so that's kind of like why we're
pushing that. And like I thought I was like, well, Brancino is like, it's fish and it's fresh,
but like maybe like spring. And then summer I was like, that's fucking stupid. And I was like,
I agree. That's so cool and funny. Summer, you're so good.
All right. I'm beginning to see maybe an opportunity here to exploit some sort of disseason between the two of you.
Deseason is my word for. We would love our drinks.
Great, yeah. Are you the word? And so one of you ordered a Branzino and a rosé.
Oh, my God, winter. When did you get here?
Winter, hi.
How are you?
Okay.
All right.
I'm going to put snow in these drinks.
There's no way I'm not put snow in these drinks.
Is that winter's pee is snow?
Don't tell me.
I want to be surprised.
Springs pee is rain.
Winter's pee is snow.
Summer's pee.
Falls pee is leaves.
Yeah.
What is summer's pee?
Summer's pee.
Ice cream.
Dew?
Do?
Uh.
Maybe.
Uh.
wine
summer's pee is wine
thunder and lightning
it's not from your nose from allergies
thunder and lightning
yeah
I'm hung on a cross and stretched paper thin
but I'm played
with by children and have committed no sin
string me along
I'll always be your friend but don't
let me go you may not see me again
whoa
um
is this like a treasure map
like X marks the spot?
I do want to see a scene.
Sure.
What was the last part you said is don't lose me or you'll never, you'll never find me.
Don't let me go or you may never see me again.
I do want to see a scene.
Aaron, you're going to be Jesus.
Great.
JPC, you're going to be Judas.
And this is like 20 years after everything happened and you see Jesus again.
After everything happened.
And Jesus, you're like one strike and we're done kind of situation.
Yeah.
So you're pretending to kind of not know what's going on.
All right.
Just buckling my.
myself into this plain seat, put my headphones on.
What do I want to watch? What do I want to watch?
Ooh, I could do chopped.
Oh, hey, I'm sorry, excuse me. I'm 23C. I think you're...
Sorry, no, I'm 23C.
Okay. I mean, my ticket says 23C. Can I...
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah, I'm 23C. I upgraded to the seat. I want a little bit more.
leg you upgraded to 23c
yeah man I'm not okay
okay all of a sudden we're judging how much money I have I give all my money away
I've just I've never heard of an upgrade to general boarding before
I'm glad this is funny
uh yeah I forgot how funny you were
I really fucking forgot how funny you are that's so crazy
sorry are you willing and able to assist in case of emergency no
I need a verbal yes no
I think I've done enough.
No, this guy's not getting an emergency.
Oh, really?
Do you need somebody to be preachy?
Do you need somebody to be preachy and judgy?
Actually, I'm glad you're here.
This person's in my seat.
You're mad at me.
You're mad at me.
Aren't you rich now?
Didn't you take all that money?
Why don't you go sit at 1A?
Go sit in 1A.
This is how rich people stay rich.
Motherfucker.
We actually need everyone in their seats assigned to them, at least until we take off.
Okay, do you know who I am?
Can we check this guy's ticket?
You look familiar, but I can't keep on top of all TV.
I'm not on TV.
Well, sometimes.
Okay, here's what's going to happen.
You're going to leave me alone.
You're going to go away.
And I'm going to sit here.
I'm going to watch between four to six hours of Chopped.
I'm going to dissociate and watch Chopped, okay?
What are you doing here?
Aren't you supposed to be in heaven?
I have business here on.
Oh, do you see what's going on?
There's a lot of Judas is sort of scattered about, sort of like the world is being run by.
feels anti-Semitic. Did you hear that? A lot of
Judas's sort of scattered about...
Okay, I'm Jewish, so...
Yeah, and isn't it our people that hurt us the most?
Okay.
You can't say your religion out loud, and we can't say...
We can't say scattered around.
Could I have a gin and tonic, please?
Absolutely. We also can't say...
Excuse me, Flood Attendant.
Excuse me, Flood Attendant. Yeah.
Yeah, sorry, I'm in the row above.
Is that a... Is that Jesus Christ back there?
Oh, maybe.
Did they just say that?
Is it they're still Jewish?
I got to make a phone call.
I was raised Jewish.
No.
Put your point for your phone.
Okay.
I would like to.
Christine, throw the Bible away.
We chose wrong.
I would like.
Christine, I know.
I am on a flight right now with the guy.
I would like a gin and tonic.
He says the one that we're doing is wrong.
Judas was my best friend.
We used to have a sleepover like every weekend.
Can you keep it down?
We would make up a dance and we would laugh and laugh and laugh together.
Christine, I just accidentally yelled at him.
And then all of a sudden, Judas makes his new friends.
and he gets money from them.
And you know what?
Who's that other fucking of my fucking friends
who betrayed me and denied knowing me?
I would take that any day.
Oh, my God.
I actually can't serve water in this flight.
One of the passengers in 23C has been flagged
as turning our water into alcohol.
I did it by accident, and I'm sorry.
I told you it was an accident.
I think I got to wash this guy's feet.
I think it's the only thing I can do to make a face.
Sir, leave my feet alone.
Sir?
You know what?
My feet can use a wash.
Nobody talks about how dirty Judas's feet.
Ew.
You know what?
Judas has a foot thing.
Do not do it.
He told me in confidence he has a foot thing.
He told me as a foot thing.
Jesus was masturbating.
Jesus was masturbating in the Garden of Gatsmany.
No, I wasn't.
He was masturbating when they took him.
He was.
I wasn't.
I was scratching myself.
It was not a scratch.
I'm a USA Marshal.
I need you both to get off the plate.
No.
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding me?
Are you even kidding with me?
You two need to get off the plate.
Get off the plate.
Hey, ow, ow, my arms.
Everyone takes out their phones.
You'll be sorry.
And that guy isn't real.
Who is she pointing at?
Oh, my God.
Seed.
You guys, that wasn't sacrilegious.
It was.
That was fine, everybody.
Was that this year?
That person isn't real?
I don't know when that was.
Yeah.
That was like, I think it was a couple of years.
break. I think that if you posted a video, an AI video of Jesus getting kicked off a play
and there would be like a bunch of people on Facebook being like, so sad. So sad this is what's
happening now. Yeah. What does the world come to? Let's take a break and sort of a tone for our sins.
Oh, sort of a tone. And then we'll go, then we'll come back. And then we'll be ready for more
of Andrew's riddles.
Hi, Aaron. Hi, JPC. It's me. Saving Squirrel.
Aaron, I'll stomp on it. You just give me the yes that go ahead. The thumbs up and this thing is gone.
No, no, no, JPC, I think there's something he's trying to say.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, I have value. I have value.
Do you want to turn your kids in the savers? Acorn Jolie, which I represent,
makes it easy to teach kids healthy money habits that will stick with them for life.
You know, Squirrel, I was just thinking about how, like, why don't they teach us more about money
in school. I feel like there should be a whole class
for it. Because you go to college and you don't
you're dealing with money really for the first time.
Right? And you don't know how to do it. Yeah. Aaron, don't say go to high school and go to
college or on the squirrel. It's obvious that this is
a guy didn't go to high school in college because he's a squirrel. Yeah, he did.
Look, he's wearing a little graduation cap. Yeah. Oh. I went to
MIT. I am so sorry, squirrel. But
not as sorry as I am about not
learning about money when I was younger. Squirrel, let me ask you, do you
have a piggy bank? And I should say,
The MIT stands for Munch into Trees.
That's what I thought.
I do have a piggy bank.
Well, piggy banks are cute and they're great for loose quarters, but these days there's so much more that kids and squirrels need to know about money.
Acorns Early makes it easy to teach kids lifelong money skills they can actually use in the real world or whatever world you live in, squirrel.
Hmm.
Thank you.
I'm not sure.
I thought it was the normal world, but I could be wrong.
Well, let me ask you this.
If it's the normal world and your world, does Acorns Early have a smart debit card and a money
app that grows kids' money skills as they grow up?
You betcha.
Okay.
And can you start with in-app chores tracker and teach your kids the value of a dollar?
Absolutely.
Okay.
And then you let your kids set their own saving goals and start building healthy money habits early?
You better believe it.
Okay, so it sounds like we're in the same world.
I like when I said MIT stands for munch into trees.
We all just kind of glazed over that.
No, I know.
It's in Massachusetts.
It's a really great school.
Kids can spend what they've earned with their very own customizing.
debit card, giving them that extra sense of independence. Plus, with Acorn Early's spending
limits and real-time spend notifications, parents always stay in control. I've looked through
acorns early. I am thrilled for when my kid gets old enough that I can use Acorns early and kind
of help them manage money. But I've gone through the system. I've gone through the information
that exists there, although I haven't used it, it's all stuff that I would really recommend.
And I think that, like, teaching young kids, financial literacy stuff is super, super important.
It really just gives them such a leg up for the world that they will have to live in.
You better believe it.
So take it from Savings Squirrel.

Ow!
It was a cartoon!
This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
Hey, hey, JBC, I have an update.
Oh, oh, God, I love an update.
Okay.
Aaron is halfway through her chef salads.
There's been a lot of support.
Aaron's really dug deep, really found that sort of salad shelf that most humans have.
I think what you were saying earlier is that what really helps set it off for her,
she changed her name while eating these salads to her persona, Doug Deep.
And Doug Deep is really helping her power through these salads.
Yes, and you know that Aaron and Doug Deep both love BetterHelp.
Have you heard of this?
You've seen this?
Oh, yeah.
Better Help.
is changing the game when it comes to online therapy.
And, Adel, did you know that October 10th is World Mental Health Day?
And this year, we're saying, thank you therapists, who maybe kind of indirectly is helping
air and eat all these salads.
And BetterHelp, of course, offers quality therapists that work according to a strict code
of contact and are fully licensed in the U.S.
BetterHelp also helps you match to a therapist that works for you.
That initial matching process focuses on your.
therapy goals. You fill out a short questionnaire that helps identify your needs and preferences
and their 12 plus years of experience in industry leading match fulfillment rate.
I mean, they typically get it right the first time when they partner you.
Yeah, plus, if you aren't happy with your match, you can switch to a different therapist at any time
from their tailored wrecks. I mean, I bet Aaron is rushing right now that she could switch to
something that's not a chef salad to eat, but she just can't. Plus, with over 30,000
therapist, BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform, having served over
five million people globally, and it works with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 for a live
session based on over 1.7 million client reviews. Man, I got to say, October 10th might be
World Mental Health Day, but whenever you're listening to this, it's Aaron's Mental Health Day
because she's going to need probably some extra mental health. That might not be the right term
after eating all of these salads. But this World Mental Health Day, we're celebrating the
therapists who've helped millions of people take a step forward. If you're ready to find the right
therapist for you. BetterHelp can help you start that journey. Our listeners get 10% off their
first month at BetterHelp.com slash riddle. That's BetterHelp, HGLP.com slash riddle.
And JBC, you mentioned earlier tailored Rex, which is one of my, like Doug Deep, one of my
personas, sort of a T-Rex in a bespoke, customized tuxedo. Yeah, sort of exactly that.

All right. And we are back. And during the break, we went from 2024 or 2023 when Andrew first sent those riddles. And now we're finally at 2025 where Andrew has sent us even more riddles. And now has listened to the main feed nine times.
Oh, Andrew. No. So wait, wait, wait, wait. What was it in 2024? Was it five? No, so 23, it was twice. Twenty-two.
was five times and in 2025 nine times but he clarifies this doesn't mean I've listened to every
episode nine times but rather I've started from episode one and listened through to current day nine
times so more recent episodes I've only listed to a few times oh oh I get I get it I get it so okay
that makes sense um but still that's a lot that's that's a big jump from 24 to 25 but
we threw him a parade we have to assume we have to assume Andrew's our biggest
Yeah. Look, I don't want to get into this because anecdotally, I know that there are people that have listened more than that. And look, I don't know that for sure. Well, anecdotally, I've been told that. And I don't want this to be a contest. I don't want someone else to feel like that is a challenge to them. Yes. I think that there are a lot of podcasts. I think listen to ours one time through. That's great. You know, Gumshoes and Dragons. That's another podcast to listen to. Maybe give that a try.
Also, most listened, good plug, that was really elegant, not too horned in at all, I think most listened to doesn't necessarily mean biggest fan. It's probably diminishing returns.
Andrew probably just thinks we're okay at this point. But if you've maybe listened to the show through once or twice, maybe then someone is our biggest fan who's only listened to like 15 episodes. Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
anyways does the language in the emails start to get overly familiar where like at first he's like gee willickers to my favorite three hosts and then by 2025 he's like hey fuck face like what's like does it become more disrespectful yeah i can i la stand yeah that is a good guess and yes
oh shit how am i supposed to get this shit out all right here we go i heard about this fan on reddit the other day and he he he
drove his bike into a tree oh shit it was me i hit my head really hard on my tree it was really
really hard it was really embarrassing for me erin can you imagine being m&m and the cops arrive at
your door and he's Eminem's like you're like is everything okay and the cops are like we dug this
cassette tape out of the trunk of a car and it was addressed to you so legally we have to drop it off
and then you listen to it and you're like what it's like folded up in a flat
like they do military, the can't hand you the cassette tape.
Like, isn't this evident?
Don't get confused. It's not on the sea. It's a part of us all, even you and me.
Sometimes out, but more often in, a permanent reminder of your closest kin. What is it?
Also, I just realized that I didn't read the answer to his final riddle. You guys never got that other one.
Oh, don't say his final riddle. It was a kite. The answer to the one before was a kite. Sorry.
Oh, I hang on across.
but I'm spread paper thin
Okay
Don't get confused
It's not on the sea
It's part of us all
Even you and me
Sometimes out but often in
A permanent reminder
Of your closest kin
What am I?
The tides
A permanent reminder
Of your closest kin
Which would be like
Mom and Dad
Parents
Mom and dad
Your parents
Like a jeans
Or
DNA
DNA
Aaron, is this something nautical?
Yes.
Okay.
So we have waves.
We have waves.
Bois and goyles.
What's kin?
Ken?
Oh, Eric, can we have a hint?
Yeah, hold on.
I'm trying to figure out.
I already said buoys and girls.
I'm kind of running out of that.
Already got a good idea.
So is this something on the water, or is,
this is something contains like organically in the ocean?
Or is this like man made on the water?
No, so this is confusing.
You're telling me.
So I know there's a double meaning to this word, but the part of it being on the sea
will probably help you get it.
So don't get confused.
It's not on the sea.
It's a word that you've heard associated with the ocean.
It's a part of all of us, even you and me.
So it's a body part, sometimes out, but more often in, a permanent reminder of your
closest kid.
tongue, tongue, teeth, a body part that's sometimes out?
Yes.
Belly button?
Yes, but what's the word at the center of your belly button is called a navel.
A navel.
A navel.
See, that one's hard to give a hint to without.
Wow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Any hint I would have for that would like just truly give it away.
Yeah.
So let's do another one.
Do you guys see either one if you have an outy belly button?
No.
No. I got an Indy.
No, I'm actually like Kyle X, Y. I got no bell of button.
We talk about Kyle X, Y, too much in this podcast.
We talk about a lot of things too much on this podcast.
Oh, we don't. We can't.
Adel. You ask that every time.
Really?
You do every time.
And Adel, I'm actually,
is it a cartoon?
I'm actually so happy for you that we have to explain Kyle X, Y, to you once every 18 months.
Because, and I'm so glad you forget it. Don't forget.
It was.
I will say Andrew probably does, but it was, it had to be less than six months ago.
The last time we talked about Kyle X,
Kyle X, he's looking for, he's looking, Al, just don't, just leave it.
A teenage boy is found wandering, naked and dazed in traffic.
We literally just went over this.
This kid is Kyle.
Yep.
This has to sound familiar to you.
We just did like a bunch of Kyle X, Y scenes, I think, too.
Yeah, it feels like like less than two months ago.
So he doesn't have a belly button and he's autistic?
Oh my God.
That's the movie.
That's the show.
That's the show.
All right, we're going to add Kyle XY pilot to the review crew.
Despite my name, it's not even a draw, but I'm the best killer of them all.
You know, sometimes pregnant people, their belly button will be an in-y, but when they get
pregnant, it'll pop out into an outy when they're pregnant, and then it'll pop back into an
in-y. Isn't that fun?
You accidentally just gave yourself a very timely, funny hint for this.
Is there a noise?
Yeah.
It goes, I'm not even a mother, but I'm offended.
It's a really funny noise. Aaron, bodies are magical. It's a really funny noise. Sometimes it happens. It doesn't always happen, but it always makes that noise.
Can I read this riddle, please? Yes, please. Yes, please. You boys, every time I learn around, every time I turn around, you guys are up to no good. And I know I'm just to substitute old man puzzles, okay? I'm not the real old man puzzles, but you need to respect me.
Yes, ma'am. They do exist. Don't. Do not say.
what Santa says in the M&M commercial.
Do not quote
the M&M commercials.
Don't.
He does exist.
Don't.
Okay.
Shut up.
That is the number one role in this classroom.
You do not quote old commercials.
Points to a frame poster that says
do not quote M&M commercials.
Do not quote old commercials.
And it's like a little cat hanging on for Diorla.
Do not quote old commercials.
We won't.
We won't, man.
I'll call now.
I'll call now.
despite my name.
You'll call now.
I'll call now.
What was that?
Was that a reference to an old commercial?
No.
Not that I know of.
Ho, ho, I'm hungry.
See, if it's not, that's even worse.
Bud.
These need to be folded in naturally.
Wise.
Don't.
You guys, you're just doing it for the sake of doing it.
Okay.
Fold it into conversation naturally.
Can we get some out of our system?
Then, Aaron, if we're just going to start this rule,
You get one.
Okay.
Waza.
What's that?
Despite my name, it's not even a draw, but I'm the best killer of them all.
But since what I counter anyone would mind, and I'm not over the top, I'm easy to find.
Wow.
Despite my name, it's not even a draw.
I'm the best killer of them all.
But since what I counter anyone would mind, and I'm not over the top, I'm easy to find.
And counter is underlined and over the is underlined.
And that's your head.
Well, prescription medicine.
Yeah, but prescription medicine is under the counter.
Yeah, you got to.
Oh, is this Tylenol in how it gives you autism now?
Yes.
Not with autism.
Mm-hmm.
It's crazy that they just started putting autism in Tylenol.
Yeah, that's so crazy.
It's also so crazy that they, like, invested a bunch in Tylenol's competitor right before they announced.
No, I'm just kidding.
I think it's good that Tylenol has autism.
Yeah, you know what I was thinking?
I was like, we've been a little too lax on pregnant ladies.
And the one pain killer they're allowed to take.
You know what?
That's over now.
They've had it too good for too long, I think.
What can I do about, it's a Halloween costume.
It's like Tylenol and autism.
How do I put that in?
It's a couple's costume and you just go as Tylenol and your couple.
And your significant other gets to go of them as themselves.
Yeah.
Uh, it's a couple's costume if you want to break up as a couple at a Halloween party.
Here we go.
So, despite my name, I'm not a big draw.
Is that like headliner?
Is that like something to do with pencils and pins?
You already got, you already got this is Tylenow.
Didn't we get it?
It was Thailand.
Yeah, it was.
I'm not even joking.
No, no.
Wow.
I know.
Anytime it's a topical thing.
We're going to do one more of these and then we're going to do a voicemail.
That happens so often on the show.
It makes so much sense because we bullshit.
constantly and lie to each other constantly that of course that happens all the time yeah yeah i thought
you're like yes it's Tylenol yeah but you're like yeah it's done yeah how many syllables it depends
where you are but you can always find me in a kitchen or bar things can be in me or i can be on top
i'm really quite flexible just ask my pop aluminium yes wow i like that aluminum or aluminium is
that a great riddle that's a great one well from andrew still
Yes, thank you so much, Andrew. I'm sorry it took us a couple years to read your riddles. And I'm sorry, I don't know how to pronounce your last name. But Andrew, if you could update us about once a year around this time about how many listens through you're at. Let's say your next parade is at 15 listens through? No, that's way too soon.
20? He's getting, no, he's hitting exponential at this point. So, no, but it takes longer to listen to all of it all the way through. So 15 is, you.
years away.
Then why does he keep adding more?
Year two, it was four, your three, it was nine.
All right, sounds like you just don't want to throw him another parade.
I mean, we got to do it within reason.
I see 20, 20, 20.
Okay.
20 is a good, here's what I also want.
Every time he does listen through, I want him to draw a clock.
You know, like how in True Detective, season one, he would saw that clock.
It's slowly, the numbers sort of like slanted down the face of the clock.
That's so funny.
I'd like to see a drawing of a clock every time he doesn't listen through.
That's the only way to prove it.
Yes.
I think that's a great idea.
All right, let's listen to a voicemail theme, Casey, if you got one.
Leave a voicemail for Avaler in a JPC.
Ha ha ha.
Leave a voicemail for Avaler in a JPC.
Oh, 8.05, riddle one.
Evil voice mail for L. All there in a JPC.
Wow.
My only note is I would have included the Howard Dean scream in that theme.
That is from Matthew.
Massey, thank you so much. That was perfect. I loved it. And let's hear a voicemail.
Hi, Aaron, Adel, and JPC. I'm calling because I'm thinking about either becoming a radiology tech or a dental hygienist.
I want to know what you guys think I should do based on not knowing me, who I am, where I live, or anything about me. Thank you so much. Bye.
Okay. Okay, I love this.
Did they say dental hygienist?
I don't know. I think they said hygienist.
They say, okay. Because I was going to say, if they said dental hygienist, you shouldn't be that one.
That's teeth and gender studies combined.
Yeah, okay. Casey said he heard it too.
Yeah, but I don't. I say radiology tech. I say radiology tech simply because I heard dental hygendist.
I don't know if I want to make fun of somebody miss speaking on.
Oh, then you definitely shouldn't.
Okay.
If you don't feel comfortable with that.
I'm going to go with just my instincts. That's all I have is...
Radiology tech because any time I've gotten like an x-ray and the person administering it has been really kind and nice to me. I'm always very, very grateful that they're in that job. So you sound like a chill, cool person. Although a dental hygienist, I'm glad when they're nice too. Who has to? The thing about being a radiology tech, if you have a conversation with the person, they can usually converse back with you. Dental hygienist, it's tough because
It's a one-sided conversation because you get your hands in someone's mouth.
100%.
You're doing, I think, more conversation work.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I feel like depending on how much you like to talk, that's how much you should.
That's why you should choose one of these two professions.
That is a really good point.
I don't know.
What do you think?
I think radiology.
I think radiology to me is still kind of fun and mysterious.
It's like modern day magic.
So I would say if you're in radiology, you can.
you can kind of bend the rules and say you're a magician.
Am I right in that?
I love my radiology tech, wheeling me into the room.
And it's like, I kind of do things a little differently.
Pick a card, any card.
And I'm like, oh, I picked the wrong hospital.
I picked the worst hospital.
Dog, this is my lawyer.
I'm going to jail.
Yeah, I think that is my firm vote.
And I think we're unanimous in that.
I think we all had the same answer.
Radiology tech.
Oh, wait, which one makes more money?
Do that one.
Yeah, maybe do that one.
I actually look up which one makes more money to do that one.
But I don't know.
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
I mean, look, I didn't do this research.
I definitely think you should look up who makes more money.
I do think when they released the annual list of like, I can't remember how it's phrased,
but it's something along the lines of like occupations with the highest amount of like depression
or whatever that is.
I feel like dentists and veterinarians are both usually in the top three.
So I would say radiology might be.
Oh, no.
Dental hygienists generally make more money.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
Probably because you have to talk more.
They're like, we know radiology texts don't have to talk as much.
And so they shouldn't be getting paid as much.
Follow your heart, but both professions will be very lucky to have you.
That's true.
Whatever you choose.
Incredible.
And thank you for trusting us with this decision.
Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
maybe don't yeah going forward guys maybe sort of talk to trusted friend loved one about this type of stuff
I mean I'm happy to making choices we're more of a Pepsi Coke panel versus yeah it's not really a big life decision panel we do we do get a lot of I'm naming a child or what job should I do and maybe that's not maybe that's not our area yeah I like naming children we haven't heard any good feedback from any of the choices we've made so far
At all, two questions, Coke or Pepsi and anything to plug.
I got to go with Coke.
I think it just has a cleaner taste to it.
And then in terms of things to plug, I'm going to go ahead and promote the aforementioned podcast, Gumshoes and Dragons, starring us three plucky hosts and the brilliant Anthony Birch.
There are several episodes out now.
Please go ahead and listen to them.
Such guests as Janet Varney, Brennan, Molligan, et cetera, et cetera.
Rick Oshanker, so
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I wish I had
to listen in front of me now, but go ahead and check out
gum, shoes, and dragons, wherever you find podcasts.
Aaron, anything to plug or promote?
I would say,
go to hey, riddle.com
slash live
to go to our November shows.
I think there's still some available tickets
to all of those, and come
see us and bring a riddle
and let's have fun.
And then also, I,
it took like a day to do this,
I finally released all of my links of various stuff that I have from my notes app and on to a place where you can find all of them and find links to them because I will get a lot of very sweet messages of people asking like where I got a coat or whatever and then for my friends being like where did you get this table or curtains or whatever in your place and I'll have to dig through my notes app or my email to try to figure out where I got it.
this I just a quick disclaimer about this I put it in the newsletter and it should be in the link
of my Instagram you do not need to buy from these links in fact I would encourage you not to just use
those like the prompt words of something you might like and put it into like depop or Facebook
marketplace eBay or look at your local vintage stores for it but yeah I try to this is like the
opposite of affiliate marketing you don't want to make commission on your links and if I do make
any commission from this I will donate it 100% of
whatever I make from it. But I would encourage you to not even. Wait, wait. Wait. How would you make? How
would you make commission from? Because I put it on a platform where it links to things that you
can make commission on. But don't, but I would say don't do it. This was just so I don't have to
be digging through my email. But I found an equivalent to everything that I have in my house,
basically online. So if you just use the keywords and then put it into eBay or your
Facebook marketplace. And that's an easier way to find it. And now I don't have.
have to, I deleted all the notes off my phone and I feel like a free woman. So I don't have to
be like, this is where I got this chair. So if you want to check that out, that's in the link of
my Instagram. It's also on our newsletter. Very nice. And what is your Instagram?
They can always just click your name in the show description. Yes, it's my first and last name,
Aaron, E-R-I-N-K-E-I-F as in Frank 10 at Instagram. So check that up. At Instagram.
At Instagram. Speaking of some podcast to listen to you, Casey, our sound editor, has a podcast
called Gutter. It is an actual play podcast with a new epp dropping soon. So please do check that
out. I think I'm going to be on, if not already on, then on shortly, an episode of Hello
from the Magic Tavern, which is Adel's other podcast, playing a character that I very much
enjoyed. It was a very fun time to go back on that podcast. It might be my favorite character
you've played on Magic Tavern. You've played some great characters. I know. I like to play
new characters on Magic Tavern. I always want to play a new character because I invariably
ruin whatever's going on
with one of my characters
at the hour that we record that
that I don't want to go back to it
this one is no exception
so yeah
check that out
and I think that is
yeah that's it for me
that's it for old GPC

that you found like a link
to like

existed before or something

three or hate riddle
Richel
I checked which riddle, which riddle, and it was exactly 10 episodes ago that you had the Kyle XY conversation, and it went almost exactly the same, where you guys were like, Adel, we've talked about Kyle X, Y, before.
Don't remember.
No, but Adel, this is like, this is an indication that your brain is protecting you.
It's so funny.
Yeah.
I think it's such an innocuous, like, Kyle.
XY. It's like Sarah 1-2.
Yeah. I don't fucking know.
Your brain does not, it's protecting you.
It's like, it's got like a default switch that's like turning the Kyle XY knowledge off.
I love it.
