And for delivery The doctor was the mother He stood on a block of ice Back Both of the network goldfish It was the cabin of an airplane He stabbed him with an ice cream And the horse of being right

Okay, so I spent the last The last, what, three hours or three hours or whatever in my yard collecting kind of ingredients. for some potions. Okay. And so I thought a fun way to kind of start things off would be if everyone takes like a bunch of... You're so dirty.

It was only three hours outside. It wasn't like weeks or months. But in the yard, Aaron. Yeah, I know, but you look like you've been missing for like months. You have tulips growing out of your scalp. It's all dirt out there. Oh. Okay.

But that's pretty impressive. It's November. I'm growing tulips. Come on. I mean... All right. Okay. Something's working.

Yeah, you're right. So we all take just like several big gulps out of some of the potions I've made and kind of see what powers we get. We can't say big gulps. 7-Eleven is litigious. What can we? Huge. Huge.

Super Bowls. And GPC, I hate to be this way. It's safe, right? This isn't just a bunch of, like, nonsense you found in the yard. It's not like lighter fluid from the grill and mud. Oh, it's all natural. That's a great point. But I, because I want to be clear, you say it's safe.

But I feel like, it's a thing, right, that, like, nature can't hurt you? Just because something's natural doesn't mean it's good for you, right? Like venomous spiders are natural. Okay, then why are we drinking it? You didn't say good for you. You said safe. That's so different. Okay, so here in this vial, you have, it just looks like a worm that you gave Mountain Dew to, for example.

Okay. Well, so here's the thing. I gave Mountain Dew to a worm, but there's no Mountain Dew as a vial. Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, Aaron, no. What power, what power? We don't know if it'll be a good power or a bad power, but we know that potions give you powers.

Okay, teeth are bleeding, good start. Ears are bleeding, eyes are bleeding. But is bleeding. Can you fly, though? Hutt! Nope. Nope, okay, so not flight. But I'm invisible, huh?

No, we can see it. Yeah, we get to you. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. I'm going to try to go five seconds into the future. You wait, you wait on your powers because maybe it's like a slow burn, Adel. Why don't you go up one down

and maybe see what kind of power we can get from you, my man. Okay. He's got real sleepy. Okay. I think your organs are shutting down. Yeah, there goes to the left lung and right lung. Yep.

Well, but if this... It's like an apartment building where everyone's like slowly turning off their lights to go to bed. If you live, then go into a coma but then wake up from it that's kind of like time travel

that's kind of like a power whoa so okay yeah because you don't age in a coma right I'll see you guys tomorrow you go where's the third mile I didn't make enough I wanted my friends to have potions and powers

and I didn't make enough potion for myself to have any powers I guess I still have some of the mountain do I fed the worm go go go go go go go go okay i have to go no i don't have to go i have to sit i have to stay i have to still i have to sit first what if we did a quick episode of a riddle riddle and then we did a field trip to the hospital

hello can you hear me my mountain dew x-men butt bleed sleepo oh god wait wait wait wait are we workshopping names are we workshopping names but bleed i'm sorry i already made the You can't be Sleepo. You can't be Sleepo. Kesey Tony is very religious. Oh, brother. Oh, yeah, I'm not taking Adel. I'm taking Casey Toney. Did I not make that clear? Well, that's why I'm so fucking confused. I'm going to be Dr. Mountain Doom.

That's my name. I think you. Better than butt bleed. Fucking, God damn it. Some thing else that is pretty good is the podcast, Hey, Redder-R-R-R-R-L. Hi, I'm JPC. I'm out of five. And I'm married. I've never gone second before. Why did I go second, Adol?

I like you going second. No, no, it makes more sense. No, it makes, let's do that. JPC, do that, run that by one more time. You want me to go second? Hey, speaking of butt bleeds, welcome to hey, riddle, riddle. I'm JPC. I'm Aaron Keefe.

And I'm Adderify. Wow, that was fun. That was a little earring sandwich. I'm the meat. We've passed all of this, but I do, case you make a quick note, I'm going to be grabbing that for something that'll be doing on the Patreon out of just a couple of weeks. Oh, right, that's coming up.

Speaking a butt bleed. Did you guys see that Arby's has steak bites? We talked about this on our road trip, Addle. Have you tried them yet? No, but JPC during our road trip was like, Arby's has steak bites. And I'm like, what are you saying? And he's like, they have steak bites. No, I think they're called steak nuggets.

Steak nuggets. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And then I was curious, and we saw in Arbys, and JPC was correct, they had steak nuggets. They had a big sign-out that said steak nuggets are here. You said, I'm not thinking Arby's? We tried to, but all Arbyes are ghost Arbys, I guess? How do I say this? Aaron, if we're being honest, we saw an Arby's from the drive-thru of what I want to call a Mormon coffee place.

We were out in Kansas, and I don't think that they have them here in Illinois. At least I have not seen them, but it was a drive-thru coffee place. I can't remember the name of it. It was like Zippies or Zagis. something like that. But they had dirty sodas, which are like a soda with like the trappings of a like a vanilla latte. So they take a soda. It would be like Pepsi with pumpkin spice syrup. And with cream. Dirty sodas are big in the Mormon, Utah world. Yeah. Because I've watched the secret lives of Mormon lives. Well, so I have not watched this, but I, but someone we talked to about this said that they were very big with

with Mormons and they're kind of spreading outward. Um, we, we don't. did not try it. We will, and before, just to cut it off at the head right here, we will not be doing dirty sodas on review crew. They don't have Illinois. They do not have, I don't, but do you know a place that has them here in Chicago? I just don't know that they've made it this far out here. No, but I think that we can inconvened ourselves to an extreme degree and we all have to go to Utah for a review crew. And I thought Mormons had to drink soda through a straw that was in a hole in a sheet. That's, yes, 100% true. That is true.

And Mormon's going to have many different sodas. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Mormon men. Yeah, right, right, right, right. And I think, if I'm being honest, I think they don't like Mormon anymore, right? The term? Aren't they all LDS? Like Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

Yeah, don't they want to be called Latter-D-Lat-A saints instead of-R-R for Mormonism has not been fantastic. So maybe they're trying to put it. So snappy and cool. Yeah, Mormon. Who do you think has a worse, like, brand and just public perception, not like internal brand? You think it's Scientology over Mormonism? Absolutely brutal. Yeah.

I do think Scientology's brand is pretty bad, but I think Mormonism is not much, but a little bit older than Scientology. So they have, like, they have, like, a lot more, like, like, did Scientology ever exclude black people? Because, like, Mormons let black people into the church. it was like impossibly late it was like 81 or something like that oh yeah god just let us know that he changed his mind but i don't think scientology as far as i know they they feel like they maybe didn't do that but who knows who want to know what it is i think why scientology has it slightly worse is Mormons talk a lot about being Mormon like it's really like they talk about going to church and obviously there's these like super secret things inside their church but they're like really

open about it and it is they have missionaries they proselytize like um uh they talk about it on the tv shows that they're on like it is uh it doesn't feel like some sort of secret in this it it feels like other religions that way in scientology you try to talk to a scientologist about it and they're like am i uh huh no i actually never heard that word before i'm unfamiliar and that is obviously so much worse it's the name i've heard in quite some time yeah door to door science Scientologist being like, hey, have I, could I interest you in, I don't know, I'll say like a pretty mid book about spaceships and stuff. It's not, it's not the best piece of science fiction, but if you've read everything else, Elron Hubbard's stuff isn't bad to like to burn through some time. Do we know what the L stood for?

Loser. Yay. I think, well, this is some advice for you kids out there. Your faith can be personal and your spirituality can be personal. Your religion shouldn't be a secret or personal. If it is, you might be in a cult. Remember we talked about at some point opening up a church of riddles. That's right.

Is that still something we're interested in doing? And then we saw the future. We smashed cut to all of us being in prison for starting a horrible cult. But Aaron, you forgot about all the compounds and money we had before that. Right. Yeah, those compounds and money in water. Is it worth three to five years of? living high on the hog.

Speaking of compounds, I actually have a couple more potions for you guys to try unless you would rather move on. And Aaron, you said what? Riddles. You said riddles. Hmm. Interesting.

I don't really have any riddles for you today. Don't act like a Scientologist with me right now. Own up to it if you're going to do puzzles. Well, Aaron, I don't actually have any riddles for you today. But I guess something that I do have for you would be, kind of like a how to put this maybe like a collection

of not necessarily mammals but like a wide spectrum of creatures kind of marching to a rhythm oh like an animal parade a cheetah with a leopard

skin a cheetah blowing out a birthday candle that that that A mosquito on a motorbike. A duck with a comb over. A bunny in a marching band. That da, that, that, that, that, the cheetah's back.

What's up, man? Animal parade. Hey, cheetah, you want to be on the episode? It's good to see you. We love how normal your head is. Can I do a redos? Wait, what? We love.

Guys, I'm panicking. Say something. Say something to say something. I love meeting someone and going, oh, I love it. how normal your head is. I do that to lose sometimes when she comes in the room and it feels awkward to go, hey, normal head. It's not shaped like a peanut at all.

What everyone working with John Cena has to say, Hey, normal head. Okay, we have an animal parade. And this one I love because it is submitted, I don't want to say five years ago, but it was over five years ago. But it was from Nolan and Nola. That's fun.

It's fun when your name kind of matches the place that you're with, except for an extra in. It is fun. If my name was an Indianapolis, that'd be fun, right? Yeah, if my name was Anne Faye, Anta Faye, come back to me. If my name was, come back to me, skip. My name was Ann Diego? This one is called, this article for Rwling.

Oh, Andy Diego. I love it. Adeliego. From Orlando Weekly from 2020, this one says Florida's invasive herpes monkeys can now be found from Jacksonville to Tampa. Hold on. Hold on. Silver Spring State Park has been home to a large troop of invasive STD-carrying monkeys for almost a century, but now sightings are becoming more frequent in Florida cities hundreds of miles from the park. According to a new report from first coast news the population of rhesus macaques um hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on i think we just need to let this wash over usada i think we deserve this kind of joy and i think instead of

fighting it let's just give in that sounds like it sounds like the comeback of like a seven-year-old of like yeah yeah like do you want some rhesies and the kids like rhesies like like and then a whole lunch table is like yeah uh like you you got chocolate in my penis but butter, racist pacaques, you know what I'm saying? Has expanded considerably over the years, and the monkeys are now being spotted in northern cities like St. John, St. Augustine, Palatka, Wallaca, and Elkden. And as far south as Apopka and Tampa. Not Pakotka.

Not Tampa. The monkeys were originally, this is awesome, part of a failed tourist attraction. How many failed tourist attractions do we have in Florida? I mean, it's like, it's a state. full of failed tourist attractions. That's the lifeblood of the state. I think Florida is a failed. It was called Colonel Tui's Jungle Cruise in the 1930s.

And a survey performed in 2018 found that Silver Springs Troop now consists of roughly 300 monkeys and 25% of that population carries herpes. Can someone check Colonel Tui for STDs? Oh, me? Oh, interesting. Yeah, Colonel Tui probably wasn't the name of a monkey. it was probably the man who ran the cruise. Yeah, and can we check his... Can we check his hard drives?

Herpes be which, while extremely rare in humans, can cause brain damage or even death, if not treated immediately. So I think we know why what Colonel Dewey died of. No. Not you too, Colonel Dewey. Monkeys tore him apart. And then it finishes here by saying

the report states that efforts to control the Rhesus macaques population ceased in 2012, but a feeding ban was put in place by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in 2017, doing a quick Google to see, okay, a regulatory body in Florida that is now dead. The FWC reported

43 incidents of human injuries between 1977 and 1984, but is not kept record since. Wow, that sounds like Florida. Hey, let's stop. Keep it records of the disease monkeys. I do want to scream a scene. Oh, we all want to see a scene, Adam. I'd like to see a scene. Aaron,

you are a rhesus macaque monkey, and you found out you have an STD and you're calling your past partners. Great. Don't pick up. Don't pick up. Don't pick up.

Don't pick up. Colonel Dewey. Seen. I was like to see another seed. Okay. Sure. JPC, you are one of these STD monkeys and you're at a bar in Tampa. And Adel, you actually like know about his reputation when he's like trying to pick you up.

And you're kind of putting him in his place. Can I get a banana martini, please? Thank you. Let me get that. Huh? Jake, let me get that. Okay. Yeah, beautiful lady like you shouldn't be paying for her own banana martini.

Let me, please put on my tab, Jake. Jake, I'll be, yeah, dude, you got to pay and money this time. Oh, yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, put on my tab. Yeah, I'm good for it. I'm good for it. Okay, whatever. I'm good for a lot of things, pretty lady.

Oh, Jake, as in Greece. Are you Greasy Jake? Are you Greasy Jake? So I wasn't saying my own name. I was talking to Jake the bartender. Wait, what are people calling me? Nothing, nothing. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. What's your name? Oh, my God. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it. Take a shower. Take one shower. You don't think I've tried? I don't think so. No, I don't think you've tried. Greasy Jake. Are you telling me you are a daily showerer? I'll be in the back

If anyone needs anything There's no shower back there So there's really My name's Saltines What's your name? Saltines It's a pleasure to meet you My name is Mr. Banana Pop

Oh no Oh so You've heard of me Oh no I have to go I need to go Greasy Jake just left We have this whole bottle

I can kind of Reach my prehensile Over the bar And grab whatever bottle you like Bottle smashes on the Okay, so I can only lift like half a pound. And these bottles are heavy. These are handles.

You said your name was Saltine. Yeah, forget I said that. Have a good night. Well, I'm about to have a good night if maybe I could talk to you for a little while. Do these names sound familiar? Sarah. Lil Lisa. Oh, fuck.

Melinda Bonkers. These are all of my friends who have slept with you. unbeknownst, they didn't know that everyone else, they didn't know how much you were getting around, okay? And you broke their hearts. Well, getting aroused more like it. Look, I, Mr. Banana Pop is a lover, not a fighter, okay? They never, they all had a pretty good time, you know, if you ask them.

Now, did they like the fact that they all slept with me? Maybe not. But individually, during the act, they were all having a lot of fun. I think, um, throws the, martini in your face. Gulp. Let me ask you quick. He caught that in one...

I've had a lot of drinks thrown in my face. I've had a lot of practice. Oh, no, don't be able to have saltines? Salteen, have you ever had every grain of salt licked off your cracker if you know what I'm saying? I don't know. We got to them in bed the next morning. Oh, my God.

I hate myself. I guess I probably should have said at the bar. but I have an STD. You piece of shit. Oh, let me finish. Gross drink in your face. Gulp, a saltine tasting deficiency because I got to get a little more saltine.

No, but I do have a monkey disease. Yeah, see. Which is not okay. You should never tell people after the fact. You obviously have to disclose. No, tell them whatever. Tell them whatever. Tell them whatever.

Whatever you get to it. We did an animal parade because I'm very excited to be recently we went to a few places went to Atlanta, Nashville, and Denver for like a week long leg of our tour

and in I want to say one of those places. Someone handed me some riddles that they had made and they say that they really enjoyed the animal parade segment which inspired them to write puzzles based on Animal Parade. So

these are kind of an animal parade puzzles and shout out to Zoe Foley, who gave us permission to use the full name, who gave us these riddles. Okay, so here's the instructions. In an animal parade, each animal has an item that fits a certain rule. But on their way to the parade, three animals got lost and forgot what they were supposed to bring. Based on the first four animals in the parade, figure out the rule, and match up the three lost animals with their three lost items.

Oh, interesting. Oh, fun, okay. So here's your example. So here's your example. So here's an paper for this or anything? I don't think you'll need it. Here's your example. A llama with a coma, an antelope with a cantalope, a manatee with a vanity, and a pheasant with a present.

I think I get it. So your lost animals are cheetah, gecko, and rabbit. What are their lost items? A cheetah with pants that have a pleata. Okay. What were the other two? That's a big stretch. Cheetah, gecko, and rabbit.

A rabbit with a habit. Okay, got it. Rabbit with a habit. A gecko with a. Cell phone. So you guys, you guys are using some slit rods here. Gecko with a echo. Aaron, a gecko with an echo.

Okay. Cheetah, you didn't get at all. It wasn't a pleeta. It's a, it's a full word, not a, not like an, a, there's no a or article in front of it. A cheetah Dating Cia I will say the cheetah Chita

Daddy boys Don't get her It's very funny To see Riley walk in the back Aaron Because he's He was bending down You don't need disney

He thought Like he thought the top of him Wouldn't be You you bending down When we could see Your full body It's so funny dude It's awesome

So Cheetah is spelled C-H-E-E-T-A-H, and the word that it's rhyming with is spelled nothing like it. Oh, um, Cheetah. Cheetah. Cheetah. But it sounds just like it. Cheetah with... Mita. Aaron, it's not Mita, but it is food.

Ooh, Cheetah with a... Cheetah. Cheetah. Cheetah with, um... Uh, let's see. Cheetah with feta. Adel, you have the right nationality. Greek.

Yes. with Spanacupides. Cheetah with Zeta. Peter. Peter. Peter. It is Cheetah with Peter. I'm so glad that you got...

I could be the character from Hunger Games. You got Veta, which doesn't rhyme. But it was the right, like, you were so close with Theta. Baby steps. Yeah, it's baby steps. I think we did such a good job on the example one. That came really naturally to us. It's going to be easy.

The clue there was that the animal names rhyme with their items. Okay. but that will not always be the case. That was just the case for that one. Okay. Okay. Ready for your second one? Yes.

Okay. A goat in a toga, a flea with a leaf, a horse on the shore, and a snail with some nails. Okay. I get the pattern. Okay. You want to solve the pattern? Because you have to solve both things.

The pattern is whatever they have is a rearranging of the letters in the name of the Correct. It's an anagram of their items. Mine would be. So. And Aaron with a Rhine. Yeah. Oh.

Your lost animals are a hornet, a parrot, and a serpent. A hornet with a ronet. A hornet singing with the ronets. Oh, I have to write this out, I think. It was parrot, hornet, and what was the last one? Parrot, hornet, and serpent. which is funny because I feel like they for the for the parade you could have used parrot hornet and serpent as items and then been like goat like a four letter one to get the answer to but now you have to do six letter answers so there's six letter anagrams of these things hornet parrot and serpent this is hard I don't want to think yeah a hornet with a throne on a throne hornet with a throne hornet with a throne okay you got that one

All right. Aaron, did you know that you would be thinking this morning? No. Because not to give too much of a peek behind the curtain, but you forgot that we were recording. No. Got the wrong time. Got the wrong time. We tried calling you.

Phone was off. We called Riley. Yes. I'm sorry, texted Riley. Riley was like, she'll be there at one minute. Yes. Lou has been bleeding out of her butt Okay, that's everyone does that

Okay, wait a minute What potions have you been Drinking? We've all been drinking the same potions I mean, let's be honest, we've all been enjoying the potions Why am I wrought? JPC I'd like to solve for the last two Is it a parrot on a raptor? A parrot on a raptor

and a serpent with a present and a serpent with a present Wow That makes sense Three out of three You nailed it And you also nailed the anagram part Aaron didn't really nail

Any of them But Aaron maybe you'll do better on this next one Here you go You ready for parade number two I am Oh yes and can I just say Zoe these are fantastic An emu with an instrument

Okay An elk with a pickle a new with a plunger and a dog with a pagoda here are your lost animals a bat a cat and a rat hmm because their name is these are all three-letter animals

the three letters appear somewhere in the word right not only do they appear somewhere in the word they're in the end well they appear in a certain order that's not like the order backwards but they Mm-hmm with an instrument, elk with a pickle, new with a plunger, new is G-N-U with a plunger, and dog with a pagoda. All of those are examples of the letters being inverted

and appearing backwards. So bat, cat, and rat are your guesses. A bat with a tab. I mean, bat with tab just works because that's just tab, bat spelled backwards. But if you can put tab, is there a way to put tab into a word? I'll give you a hint Tabernacle Choir

Yeah that works Tabernacle yeah I think that would That could work I don't see why not So I'll give it to you The one that Zoe had was Database Oh nice

Can I see a quick scene Sure Adel you are a new Who is my plumber And you're working on The bathroom at my house And JPC you'll be my husband And you'll be like

Why is there an animal Fixing our bathroom Yeah, so I'm just going to use the I have sort of what we call like a pipe snake And that's going to pull out any hair or debris Amazing I'm so sorry I'm sorry if this is also like beneath your expertise And it's just

No no no no no Yeah thank you so much And we'll definitely get a better cover for that Yeah and let me know if you need anything like water tea or so Oh yeah Do you just mind doing the thing that I described with the pipe snake Do you mind doing it because I don't have hands Yeah I will grab you a water really quick

Hey, has it going in there? I didn't want to interrupt. Good. He just was complaining about not having hands and, but I think he'll be done soon. The plumber that you heard? Yeah, he's, I think he was, he'll be fine. I mean, he's professional, so. Okay.

I don't want to be. You didn't want to do this. He said, I'm too busy, call the plumber. No, for sure. And I just don't know kind of how I don't have the tools. I don't want to be able to us. But you said he doesn't. have hands but he has

he has like hooves it's the best way to describe them but I just don't let's not do this whole song and dance where you complain you if you don't want to fix something in our house and I bring someone into fix it's a wildebeest I just took a peek that's a wildebeest in there do you guys have any short grass

um we got a little bit in the back if you get hungry do not know don't let him go eat my grass I just mowed if he eats it when it's this short it'll die honey that's a wildebeest you said you said you didn't want to fix the best room. And so I said, okay, fine, I'll hire someone to fix it. So you hired the will. You hired it. You specifically hired a will to piece.

I hired someone that could do the job and do it in a timely manner. It's a hairclog. We're hosting a party in three weeks. It's a hair clog. Are you having a party? I'm in a, I'm in a cover band. Newfound glory, but new spelled. Oh, I love that. Yeah, well, I'll grab your card from you before you leave. Hell yeah. I truly, yeah, I think we should book that. That's fucking actually fucking awesome. Yeah, okay. Well, but baby, baby, baby, look. I love you, but it's a hair clog and that Wildebeest

is one of the hairiest motherfuckers I've ever seen in my life. I don't think he's cool. He's not going to shower in our shower. Do you mind if I'm going to shower real quick? Yeah, whatever you need. Baby. If you're not going to do this

and this is under my jurisdiction that I'm going to do it my way. I feel like that isn't spirit a good rule, but it feels like maybe you're pushing that rule too far in a way that makes a Wildebeest is now taking a shower

at our clog shower. I would think you'd sing Newfound Glory, right? Not see it? I couldn't think he... You don't think he knows a Newfound Glory song? See. I couldn't think of a single Newfound Glory's song. I know the name.

I know. I know taking back Thursday. I know spending for Wednesday or whatever it's called. You're thinking about Thursday and taking back Sunday, too? I know Fries. I know Piny Wise. I don't know a single song, any of those things. Lagwagon.

smash um hey hey guys i got a riddle for you oh okay yeah you're not old man puzzles but i guess yeah whatever um what is why is why is sand the best thing to have on a improv in riddle podcast my sand well it's going to get everywhere it's spelled s and like yes and you like that

you know what I was working on a version of that myself so thank you Aaron oh my god what the fuck yeah guys Sandy's here sorry I invited Sandy over for dinner so it's here now when you say you were working welcome Sandy uh yeah would you say you were working on a version

of that yourself what what what I would notice that I'm on an improv podcast, I've been here about a couple dozen times, and I've never mentioned that my name is one letter off from yes and. Well, two letters off. No. Well, because you're using the Y. Well, but his name is Sandy.

He's putting the Y. If his name was a circle, the Y, the names are circles, but mine is. If they were. That's what I'm trying to say. Well, but, well, I mean, someone's name could be circle. I mean, circle is a first name. It's in the Bible. What?

Okay, hold on. Circle gets the square. That's a biblical passage. If you take away four of the letters of my last name, then you get yes and. If you and you treated it like a circle. It's not a big F. Names have been through worse. I love that we had an opportunity to do yes and with this and we decided not to.

No. Okay, fun. Okay, cool. Sandy, thank you so much for coming back. It's great to be here. Sandy's a nickname, though. I mean, that's not his real first name. Oh, my God.

Yes, and. Speaking of, you've got O'R in your first day. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. The great thing about my full name is there's Oar there as well. Yeah. So it's improv 2.0. You can, yes, and, or? And no, is it.

No, isn't it? Yes. Sandor. Yeah. N.O. Yeah, N0 is in there. Yeah, if names are a circle, Sandor. hoisted by your own pittart, I guess.

I just like keeping these pittards around. Make it so. Yes, there it is. Captain Kirk. All right, we got to do something. Sandy, welcome back to the show. Thank you. How are you guys been?

Aaron has not been really well. Let's not answer for each other, I think. Oh, pretty bad. I'm okay. Yeah. How have you been? oh i've been great um been still working on this uh this rattle project this uh this game this word game that i have it's been going great it's awesome it's so fun up to uh i don't know like

8000 people a day who play it whoa geez that's crazy yeah and we're up to over maybe around 250 of them so far so um it's 8000 people a day and we've done 250 of them oh so you're like using their names and stuff like oh i've done 250 of them them yes that's what i meant yes yes yes i'm anding you yeah yeah sandy is using his rattle project to fuck the people that are doing it so and then he's keeping track so pretty high body count for sandy i have to say is this the press you wanted uh get get er done that's uh what i was told that's the instruction that i follow uh so anyway that's mostly most of what my attention has been spent on is making these rattles work and people seem to enjoy it. And I thought I would

try to bring a version of that to you guys today. A little, hey, rattle, rattle. We will. So the way the way rattle works, of course, is that you get a series of clues out of order that you have to apply to each step of this word transformation ladder. That's a little hard to do in audio form. So instead of giving you a bunch of clues, I just came up with a, a more direct version of word transformations. So here's the way it's going to work. I'm going to give you a starting word and I'm going to tell you to change one letter in that word to a full word.

So you're going to like change a letter in the word to another set of letters and then I'll tell you what the result will be. So for example, if I said the starting word is glee and I want you to change one letter in it to a grain and the answer. And the answer will be a kind of facial hair. Okay. So you would change a letter in glee to replace it with the name of a grain. In this case, it would be oats.

And then goatee. And then you get goatee. Fun. Okay, fun. Does that sound good? Yeah, I'm going to be really bad at this. Let's do it. I think you'll be great.

I think I have no idea how it's going to be. Let's find out. The starting word, the first word is, decoy and you want to change one letter in decoy to a liquor and the result will be a word that means good behavior or describes good behavior. I'm going to say gin is probably the liquor we're changing. It's got to be gin. It's got it.

Sandy, I love you. Christ, I love you, brother, but it's got to be gin. You know? It's rum, yeah. Okay. Decoy and we're changing one letter to rum. Rummy coi. Derrumoy.

Aaron is Decorum Decorum Decorum Decorum For me Did you have it Aaron?

Did you know it? Yeah I was getting really close Because I was like No because I said Well I think it's at the end of the word Okay What was it In the middle of that

JPC you suggested I think Rummy Koi I think Adol did you say Remy Koi I said Ramekoy That sounds like an amazing We sounded like so much

the same right except I can actually see you and I could tell who's talking so Rummy Koi I'm going to write that down for an idea to use later Okay just make sure I get credit for it because I thought I said it Well but he thought

Well Let's move on to the next one The word is the name Brian Okay And you want to change one letter to a Zodiac sign And the answer will be a profession But here's the thing You can spell Brian like two

different ways. Okay. Put it with an eye. Okay. Leo and librarian, and I haven't thought about it. You know what? You're half right. How?

How? But also, Erin. Oh, Libra. That makes way more sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I knew something was there. Leo would be a Leorrian, which may be something for all I know. Leorian sounds like a profession in like a D&D world.

Totally. Yeah. I'm so tickled by Aaron getting it right. But you do the wrong side. The wrong side. Or a Scorpioian. Ooh. You're Scorpio?

I'm a Scorpio, yeah. I'm a Scorpio, too. Hell, yeah. Cool. What does that mean? It means we're mysterious and loyal. No, Sandy could have an October birthday. Oh, that, are you in October Scorpio, Sandy?

No, I'm in November. Oh, okay. Shame on you if you're an October Scorpio. What's your date? What's the day of your birthday? 13th. Oh, I'm the 10th. Amazing. We should have a joint birthday party at Chuck E cheese.

Okay. Sandy, does your birthday ever fall on a Friday? Absolutely. No, somehow, in all the years I've been living, it's been, they've chosen not to do it. Yeah, I loved it. In fact, for one year, when I was, I want to say 10, we rented a spooky house on a farm and watched horror movies. Pretty good. What about this for a rule?

So Halloween is always, it's always the same day every year, right? It's the 31st, 30th? What is it? 31st. 31st, we know. I think if there is a Friday the 13th, also in October, we should do double Halloween that year. I think there should be...

Oh, I love that. I think there should be Halloween on Friday the 13th? Hollow Halloween. Was Friday 13th a thing before the movie, or did they make that up as a scary thing? I think it was before the movie. I think it was just like a day to be cautious? What is it when the guy who knows more than anything that you'll ever know?

I mean, this is the guy that knows all of the stuff, and now he's asking me a question about what is going on with some stuff? That's insane, right? Does anyone else feel insane? Does that make you feel disregulated? I don't know all the stuff. I just like asking questions about all the stuff.

That's even worse. And here's my reasoning behind saying that it was a thing before the movie is because if it wasn't, that's insane to be like, let's just trust that people are going to go see a movie that's a date. Well, I, yes, counterpoint, though. There's some of a lot of stuff in our culture that is actually ascribed to it just a movie that came up with it and we forget about it.

Like, for example, the idea of a bucket bucket list did not exist before that dumb movie bucket list came out. Dumb sucks. Excuse me? Oh, I'm sorry. That's crazy. Is that real? Is that actually real? That's true. They made that up, yeah. And now we all use it as a common term.

Whoa. Or like the idea of saying you're toast to mean you're done. Do you know where that comes from? No. No. That is something that Bill Murray made up in the movie Ghostbusters in 1984. Whoa. That was not an expression before that.

And now we don't even think it has an origin. Yeah, the idea of saying you're toast. Same with having a heart attack. Bill Murray was like, I smelled toast. And they're like, what? That's right. That didn't exist. Came from the movies.

One of the better improvisers. That is so fucking wild that the bucketless thing is really throwing me because that feels like an inconsequential movie. that has made a huge impact. They didn't come up with the term kick the bucket, you know? No, but they use it. Yeah, yeah. Mrs. O'Leary's count. And Rachel Dratch, people forget that Rachel Dratch created Debbie Downer.

Yeah. It was not a term before SNL. That's true. And that's true. You're a real Debbie Downer. And isn't that true? Do you want another one? Let's keep going.

I got more. I got a lot more. Good. How about the name Rob Or the word Rob Replace one letter with a Pixar movie And you get an art movement Ratois

Rococo Rococo is right Whoa Rucars Is up a Pixar movie Rop Rop Rop

Rop Rup Replacing one letter With two letters Is certainly Possible Just not as interesting I think

It's replacing it with four. Okay. I'm not just saying that right to my face. That's interesting. Take the note. How about porker? So here's the word porker. Replace one letter with an animal to get a colleague.

Hmm. Hmm. Poor pigger. Poor pigger. Poor pigger. Replace one word with an animal to get a companion. Is that what you said? A co-worker.

Co-worker. Oh, I gave you the answer. God damn it. Oh, it's cow. Is it cow? A cow worker. It's a cow worker. I do want to see a scene.

You just been toasted. You're toast. You just kicked the bucket. This is like when there's a clip of Ken Jennings spoiling one of the answers on Jeopardy because the answer was the word like back in black. And there was, okay, so the clue was back in blank. He, and blank, the answer or the question, I guess, was what is black, right? But he said back in black, probably because black and blank are so close together that

his boy just did a little stuff. Anyway, that's me preparing myself to Ken Jennings. I hope he got punished. Let's see the scene. Thank you, Sandy. I'd like to see a scene, Aaron and JPC, you two are cow workers, two cows who work at the office. And this is a day at work right after one of the office. famous office parties.

Ooh, moo, I am hungover. Me too. Hey, did you see that we got a notification on Slack that we have like an all-hands HR meeting today? I had no hooves on my calendar. Oh, are you sorry? I misread it. I'm a classic.

I'm one of those Ken Jennings types. All-hooves meeting. Yeah, okay. Yeah, I saw it all-hooves. you don't think it's you don't think it's about like the party the party right

I mean it was I felt like it was pretty tame I mean we were I don't know I'm a little worried what did we do I mean I guess we played

pin the tail in the donkey I don't think the donkey in accounting maybe she didn't love that we yeah we scan across the the cubicles

and we see that there's Xeroxes of udders and condoms filled with milk tied off. I mean, what else could it be? I just, I feel like, I mean, how many strikes do you have right now? How many strikes do I have? Yeah. Four?

Maybe five. Yeah, I feel like we could be sent to the butcher today. I'm just having that, like, kind of sinking feeling. And maybe it's anxiety, and maybe it's anxiety, but, like, we were... Are you saying hangxiety? Yeah, like hangover anxiety. No, like hangover and anxiety. Hangover and anxiety.

Okay, got it. I'm only familiar with hangary, which is hunger and angry, so... Sure. Well, let's just, like, we'll focus on taking care of ourselves. Wait a second. Wait a second. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, my God. What? Look around the office. What?

Xeroxes of udders, condoms full of milk. Oh, my God. One of the goats must have gotten so wasted at the party. Aaron, you might have just invented anxiety. Did I? I thought that was a common term. Oh, is it? But history will say it was me.

History will say I'm the Bill Murray of the Herald podcast. I'm ready for some more. Let's do another one. All right. How about the word row, R-O-W, replace one letter with a state to get a part of a salad? R-R-R-R-R-R-I-L-Land-S salad. Love those local commercials. Replaced one letter with a state to get a type of salad.

Okay. A type of salad. No, part of a salad. A part of a salad. Oh, Raman Tintana. Rob-Montana. What? Yeah, exactly.

Romantana. Romantana. Romaine, Romaine, Tana. Maine. Maine. Maine, it's just Maine. It's not Montana. It's not Maine, Tana.

Romaine. Romaine. Romaine. That's part of the leaf of the salad. As part of a leaf. That is the leaf. Thank you. It is the main part of the salad.

How about the word bean? Speaking of salads. B-E-A-N. Replace one letter with a cereal to get a woman's name. One letter of bean with a cereal to get a woman's name. look at a woman's name Beirioing Cookie crisp

Be golden grads Be Captain Crunch Bean Sandy are you mad at us Yes No you're doing exactly what I wanted Okay So I'm right into my hand

Life is a serious I'm trying to think of shorter Shorter Shereal names Kicks It's not kicks but think short Yeah short Short short kicks life So like Eileen would be a name

Is there a serial called I... But it's got bean, e'en. So it's replacing beans, so it's there are a cereal that ends in Een maybe? Or Tricks, Beatrix. Bingo. Beatrix is for kids. She's a babysitter.

Is Beatrix... Would you say an old-fashioned name? Beatrix Potter, yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, okay, cool. I think one of like the princesses or queens of like... Like, the Netherlands is named Beatrix, but... It's always fun for me to, like, stumble into, like,

like, oh, that's where we get this shortening. So I think I'm just realizing now that Trixie was probably a nickname for anyone named Beatrix, who wants to use that? Oh, yeah. Or like, yeah, probably. I learned that Tilda Swinton's full name is Matilda.

That makes sense. Oh, it's like a Tofer Grace situation. It's the last, okay. Huh? Tofer is just short for Christopher. I was at the zoo the other day, and I was like kind of walking slowly, because I was with my kid,

but I was walking behind these two, they were probably like in their 70s or 80s, older women who were also walking very slowly, and they were having a discussion about, like, people in their lives, like friends of theirs. And I wanted to write it down because they were just running down like a list

of like the oldest person names you've ever heard of. There was like a Dawn in there and an Esther. And I was like, I mean, Dawn is literally the earliest you can go. Esther, I think, is. Esther, I think he's old test of it. I think Eve. I think he's as early as you can go. Yeah.

Well, there's the Eve and then the dog, man. They were just running through a list of people that I'm like, these are just like names that are like on the verge of leaving the planet. Although now old names are coming back. I feel like. Yeah. Yeah. We encountered that when we named our kids, like we were looking through all the, obviously

names that were coming up in popularity. And there are all, a lot of them are names that were really, really antiquated. for a long time, but we're popular like 100 years previous. And then my wife tells a story about her grandma, who's named Ruth, but they wanted to name her Rebecca, this is back in the 20s probably. And everyone was like, that's such an old-fashioned name. Just think modern like Ruth. That's so funny.

I've mentioned it before, but my great grandma's name was Fern. I love that name. Which I think is just such a wild, such a wild swing for a parent to take of like, this baby's going to be a fern. Right. Hell yeah Isn't Fern in Charlotte's Web? Isn't that the name of the girl?

No, you're thinking of where the red furne grows. You're thinking of Fern Gully. Oh, that's right. I'm always thinking about Fern Gulley. That's my secret. Well, Fern is also short, Adelaide. It's a nickname. The full name is Furnacular, which is part of language.

So much and pull the plug on this podcast. Okay. Sandy, did you do the thing when you named your kids where you named them after like relatives, but just with the first letter of their name. Okay, well. Okay, and we'll move on. And that's an edit point. And Casey, just mark

that as an edit point because Sandy can't get into, well, Jewish heaven, what is that? I guess you messed up. The answer is yes and no. I didn't love the idea of doing just the first letter. So,

you did a rattle. You did a rattle on your kids' names. You did a puzzle. You did a puzzle on my kids' names. It's true. So my son's, that's true. My son's name is Ezra, and my wife wanted, wanted that name. And I was like, okay, it was kind of gaining a popularity, which I didn't really love, and it's gained even more in the last 15 years. For sure. But then I realized that we could make it an acronym based off of some three of four of our, well, I guess three of our great grandparents, of his great grandparents. So,

the E, the Z, the R all stand for our grandparents. And then his middle name is Stanley, which is another grandparent. Okay. Okay. So you kind of did it. You kind of did your little puzzle stuff. I think you're going to say, you picked a name and your wife was like, I want something better.

And you were like, better than Ezra? And she's like, that's it. That's the ticket. It's, if that joke, as you can imagine, lives in the subconsciousness and like in the, like the current of our family discussions, though. But it's, we only pull it out like once or twice a year.

Can't overuse it. We can't overuse it, but it is a very, very good one to go to. What's one better than a song? All songs are better than, oh. I don't know.

I truly don't know a better than essence. I don't know. Oh, please. But we also have a dog named Cleo, and so we've made letters to Cleo jokes too. Oh. Wow. I think a better than Ezzer.

song is, is that one that's like, well, everywhere we walk on. And you, I think that's a better-than-the-master song. Good. Yes, it's called good. Good, good. Not really, I don't know.

Want some more puzzles? Yes. No, we could do that for a little longer. Let's do some puzzles. All right, take the word sting. Change one letter to a color, and you'll get something done at a baseball game. Sitting.

Sitting, bunting, bunting, bunting. Blunting. I guess is a color, but it's not the one I'm picking out. Cinnamon bun brown. Sandy, don't give me bun, I guess it's a color. I should go to jail for that. Actually, cinnamon bun brown might be my new teenage detective that I'm going to be looking on. Don't worry, cinnamon bun brown is on the case.

All dessert-related mysteries. Okay, that's actually rules now. That actually is incredible. All right. Sting and you change one letter and it's something you do at a baseball game or you see at a baseball game. I would say the phrasing would be something done at a baseball game. You don't do it. No, the players do it.

Something done in a baseball game. Swinging. Is wing a color? Switing. Switing. Switing. So yeah, you do swing, but it's sting. So it's S something I and G, I think is it.

That's right. Mm-hmm. Just go through all the colors. How many could there be? 64. Sorging. Red, green. Not in the rainbow. Speeching.

Not in the rainbow. Tann. Turquoise. Spinking. I think might be something in baseball. Spinking. No. Spinking.

I'd like to solve the puzzle. I'd like to say spanking, Ken. And Ken and I, this sucks. I'm Pat Sajek. No, you're Ryan Seekrist now, right? Oh, sadly. Sadly, Ryan Seacrest got another job opportunity. Has anyone said spanking yet?

You could have, any Jesuit, you pick a Jesuit, you could attend to their school. Okay. I know. I know. I lived pretty close to Burbuff, too. But I went to Carmel. Yeah.

It could have been added later. I remember I had a cousin that went to Carmel, and they were talking to me one time about the Olympic swimming pool that they had at their high school, and I was like, wait, what is this? I go to high school. You have a swimming pool?

They went to, they won all the state sports championships every year. Which high school did you go to? Cathedral. Oh, you did? Okay. Catholic.

Yes. Who lives in Chicago? She went to North Central. She grew up in Indianapolis. Oh, damn. I would have gone to North Central if I had not gone to private school. And I will also

say that Chase Infinity is the most made-up movie star name I've ever heard. It's her real name. It's her real middle name. Yeah, it's her middle name. It's her first name and middle name. Yeah, I feel like that's close enough to a made-up movie star name if you throw the middle name is the last name. Yeah, love this, JPC.
