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 thing Friday.
Two, three, four, hey, riddle, Richard.
Adel, Aaron, I actually have some great news for the two of you.
Oh, finally.
Okay.
Oh.
I guess it's actually great news for me.
I don't know necessarily if it as much as greatness for the two of you.
Rising tide lifts all hosts.
Yeah, now that I'm thinking about your response and the news that I have to share,
now I'm a little worried that it could be more that you're mad at me.
Hmm. No, I'm sure it's good. For saying the whole great news thing. It's not even really news.
Huh. Go ahead and say it real fast. Is this like a good news, bad news situation? Because maybe you could start with the better news. And then you can give us your news.
That puts me on the spot. Let's see. Better news. Okay. That shouldn't be too hard. Let me just look at news real quick. Okay. No. No. No. No. All right. We're going to scrap better news. I could do. Here's what I could do. I could do worse news than the thing I was going to say.
Worst news
Okay, let's see
Worst news
No
Oh no
No no no no no no
Can you say something that will rise all hosts
Now we're back to that
Huh
We thought that maybe you could say something
That would make all three of us feel better
We could all care about the same thing
Hypothetically right?
Yeah I think that works
Here's more what I'll say
I'll just say what I was gonna say
And then everybody could just we could just move the fuck on from it
All right
But it sort of feels like you're starting the episode
maybe on a foot that is negative for Adel and I.
So you'll be in a good mood and then we'll be in a bad mood.
Here's the thing.
I feel I've had a cold that's been like lingering for a week,
so I'm already in a bad mood.
So it's like we don't have to worry about mood kind of across.
It seems like we're all going to be on an even playing field when it comes to mood.
Sure.
How about you tell us the news and then you'll tell Adel something that'll make him feel better
and then me something that'll make me feel better.
Oh, yeah.
Like password.
I'll pass it down.
Oh, I'm not going to tell you one of my passwords.
Oh, you want me to share Adel's.
always asking me to share my passports.
Just one...
It's four hundred sixty-nine.
It's mine, my man.
Give me a number.
I think I've told you that you guys before, but I've been on the side of that the
Paramount Plus app is the worst fucking streamer.
It's like the worst streamer.
And I told Mariah, I was like, we got to stop paying for Paramount Plus.
It sucks.
It crashes all the time.
And Moran I was like, we don't pay for Paramount Plus.
We share it with six other people and it's always crashing because...
whatever someone is trying to watch it.
I was like, oh, okay, yeah, that makes more sense.
It makes more sense.
Dr. Heel thyself.
Well, anyway, the news was I was talking with Mariah the other night, and I have been working
under, maybe the incorrect assumption, that I have been 37 all year.
But Mariah was like, because I just had my birthday yesterday, Mariah was like, you're turning
37.
And I was like, no.
I am 37.
She was like, no, you have a December birthday.
You always do this.
And I feel like December birthdays, and Erin, maybe you can relate a little bit.
But like end of the year birthdays kind of fuck you over because all of your friends who are the same age as you, they're like already, they have already turned that age.
And then it gets to December.
And I forget.
So the good news is I'm now 37.
And I haven't been 37 all year.
And you're in charge of our finances?
Just a quick reminder.
one did you off when it comes to finances that's not actually a big deal I don't know I feel like a stroke of the pen can change nations or whatever the fuck that yeah doctor spreadsheets over here this is a little well I will say it's kind of fun to gain a year of your life back that's not many people experience that I know I feel like I basically get to live 37 twice it's like a reverse can I say that case you beep that out yeah Casey beep that out
I don't know I think it's when you say reverse and then there's a beep I feel like people this sound way worse um
JBC, well, now you're going to live 37 twice.
Yeah, I'm going to get...
Just bump the age.
Just say you're 38.
I should just be 38.
I feel like it's just easier.
I'm closer to 40, which is good, because once the year is eight and like my birth year is eight, you know, like once we get to 2028, that's icing on the cake baby.
I'll never forget then, because I can do that tens math.
Oh, you'll be in lockstep, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I mean, I guess basically what I'll try to do is I'll just try to live this next year of my life, Moss.
Now, speaking of living moss, this brings us, surprisingly, it's not about you. This brings us to a little picture that we got sitting in the group chat a few days ago.
This is exactly what I don't want to talk about. I'm literally going to throw up down my chest. It looks so gross.
Oh, this is Rob Schneider doing his De Niro impression?
Okay, that was something that Aaron sent us.
I have nipples, great. Can you milk me? And then one thing, Rob Schneider knows.
Milking nipples. Thank you. I was trying to do goat boy, but that's Jim Brewer.
Do you want to say what monstrosity you texted to us?
Yeah, this is something I thought possibly we could, well, JBC, do you want to mention what you threw in the group chat for us to review for a review group?
Yeah, this is actually important context.
Because I think this is a domino effect.
Was this in response to that?
Yes.
Okay.
So I have had, occasionally I'll have to drive north and I'll drive by Rosemont and I will see a big billboard for this.
And I've seen this billboard, I think every year, because I think he always comes around the same time every year.
And it's always in December, which is my birthday month.
But for review crew, I wanted us to all go and see a live Jeff Dunham puppet show.
show in Rosemot.
Now, if you're not familiar with Jeff Dunham, good.
But if you are familiar with Jeff Dunham, it's like, it's, he's, he does ventriloquism,
but also, like, famously, he has, like, a very racist, like, um, dead Arab puppet.
Dead terrorists is what he calls him.
A very racist, a very racist, a very racist, a lot of things.
It's just, it's like, right-wing puppetry.
And I was like, that would be, I would be, it would be so funny for me to make you guys have to
endure that with us. And Casey probably as well for a review crew. But this year I finally was like,
I'll get ahead of it. I'll check the tickets. I'll get some tickets. Check the tickets. Tickets were
the cheapest seats were $140. And I was like. Diabolical. Unreal. Unreal that that man can get
that people are paying that. I would have thought he would be like playing Hammond, Indiana at the
horseshoe. And tickets were free if you put down 20 bucks on blackjackers.
something like that's what i thought his career was that well it's not he is apparently touring and he's
hitting the all state you know stadium and rosemont where i saw weezer play stadium it's well it's
adele you've been to that that venue in rosemont right i don't know what kind of it's it's
all state arena i think it's our it's an arena it's not a i guess i don't know the difference
arena and stadiums uh i don't know how many it's open air no maybe i don't know how many it sits
but it's like a it's like where you would see like a basketball game be played like it's it's big they do the minor league hockey team um plays there also a lot of like wcW and um wrestling events and stuff like that it's up to 22,000 people.
Now sometimes what they do for shows like this is they'll just like close off the upper balcony.
Jeff Dunham's not selling 22,000 tickets.
Right.
But I, you know, he'll sell enough that they can cram people in and also I've bought tickets to that venue.
before where you buy i buy like a bad ticket and then you show up and they're like you can kind
of sit in the front if you want like we didn't we didn't sell the good tickets could you imagine
having a 400 level seat for a puppet show for a live puppet show i mean so anyway we're not
going to do that uh i i i would funny there is a lot it's actually not that much that i would
pay for a bit but like a hundred dollars is and to give a hundred dollars to jeff dunham as well
i'm like that's just plus we get sucked into the amazing merch i'm sure
he has. But then in response to that, I said, surely there's other stuff we can review. And then
I sent a picture of the brand new. And this is real. This is a real thing. I've seen people
reviewing it. This is the Taco Bell, Baja Blast pie. It's a baked pie filled with what
looks like to be expired Colgate. And I've seen mixed reviews.
I've seen people say it's delicious, and I've seen people spit it out and throw the pie away and say this is the worst thing they've ever eaten.
I thought when you sent that picture, Adel, I thought you had purchased this.
I thought we were about to hear you give your review of the Taco Bell Baha blast pie.
But do you know, is it one of these, like, because Taco Bell does this, is it like a test market item?
Is it only like in like St. Louis and shit?
Or is it nationwide?
Can you get it anywhere?
I haven't checked.
Casey's typing.
I will be checking.
Uh-oh.
Casey said I'm kidding.
He said, I'm pissed.
Whatever the context for that is, we can't know.
We can't know why, what about the situation pisses him off.
Now, has there ever been a beverage turned into a pie before?
Has there ever been a beverage turned into a pie?
Who's all been puzzled?
No, right?
No, there surely has been.
Because I've had it.
Okay, this is not the same, I admit.
But I bet there's a place where you can get like Dr. Pepper Pie.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
Oh, also, they will often do cocktails turn into pies, says the internet.
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, I just Googled Baja Blast Pie to see if it's nationwide.
And the first article I see is from the New York Post that says Taco Bell's new mountain-due Baja Blast Pie horrifies customers, quote, Chernobyl Cheesecake.
Yikes.
So.
What, here's the thing.
Not that the New York Post doesn't do great journalism because I believe that they do.
But so much of like writing now, I won't even call it journalism because that's not what the New York Post does, is just like searching for tweets where people said something and then putting that in their headline.
Like someone tweeted Chernobyl Cheesecake and, you know, to be funny.
And then the New York Post is like, that's our headline.
And I'm like, this seems like we're in a downward cycle here, right?
They're like somebody said something so everybody feels that way and it's news.
Yeah.
It says nationwide.
Okay.
So, JPC, you probably got one of these for your birthday.
That sucks.
That sucks.
And you probably ate the whole thing, huh?
You probably ate the whole thing.
If you told me that it was a Baja Blast cheesecake, I think I'd be way more interested in that than like a Baja blast baked pie.
Yes, because these pies, when I've seen people review these, they look like, did you guys watch Double Dayer growing up at all?
They look like the double dare pies where it's like there's no, if you turn this thing upside down, the crust is staying and the middle is just, it's like Nickelodeon gacking.
See, this is why I said I was going to get nauseous.
I knew we were careening towards this.
Oh, oh, I do have good news.
I don't believe you.
No, this is actual good news that you guys are both going to love.
Do you remember the last time that I was Old Man Puzzles?
I had like an orange book of Reynolds and we did riddle set up there.
and they were very hard to comprehend
and no one had a good time with them.
Yeah, yes.
Well, I was planning to do at least one more of those riddles
on the episode today,
but that book is now under two different things on my desk
that would take me a couple of seconds to move around.
I'd have to, like, rejostle.
May all acquaintance be forgotten.
Merry Christmas.
Same joke, sort of.
Simply having a wonderful riddle time.
So we're not going to do that.
Unless we've run out of other riddles and then I'll have to, I'll have to rejostle.
Maybe it's under even three things.
Wouldn't that be something?
So we're going to do some listeners submitted riddles.
This first one is coming to us from Bin in Australia.
Okay, Ben lists the place in Australia where it's from.
Aaron, I think you're the only.
one who may be qualified to like pronounce this what do we oh my gosh i don't know what do we think
in that that word is warrumble warnemble warnable warneble warneble i don't know my favorite place i went to
in australia was i think it was a park called tidbidbilla tidbinbilla tidbinbilla tidbinbilla is in
Worn and Bull. No, I have no idea.
Sorry.
We can't just be saying things.
We can't just be saying things.
Okay, I know exactly where Worn and Bull is.
What do you think?
First of all, what coast do you think Warnham Bull is?
West.
East Coast.
North East.
It is the east coast, Aaron, but it's not the northeast.
It's the southeast.
It looks like it's maybe an hour or two outside of Melbourne.
Right above Tasmania?
Is it right above Tasmania?
No, Warnan Bull's on the coast.
It's on the water.
It actually looks fucking fantastic.
And we're sorry if we're saying it wrong.
No, I'm not.
I am.
I'm sorry.
Warnan Bull has a red rooster?
A KFC?
A McDonald's.
Wow, they're just like us.
Whoa.
They do exist.
They love their macars over there in Australia.
They love McDonald's.
They have a Waves Motel.
The Waves Motel looks really nice
Let's see if I can get prices
Oh no
It's not giving me available prices
Sorry guys
You have to contact the property
Are we doing riddles?
It's probably about a Jeff Dunham
Ticket per night
No now I want to move to Warnham Bull Australia
And go to Discovery Parks
Warnham Bull and the Deep Blue Springs
Warnham Bull Hot Springs
And you don't have time to move to things?
No, I actually don't have time
because I have to rent a Warnham Bull Heritage Cottage.
I actually don't think you could rent it.
Are you getting paid by their tourism board?
I would love to.
I do have an open minmos if they have some extra scratch
and they want to send me.
Listen, this riddle submission is probably from like six years ago.
But Ben, if you're still in Warnham Bull Australia,
I don't believe you ever told us what it's like there.
But I would love if you could email the show
and just give us an update on like,
is Warnhamble cool?
Is it nice?
snapshot.
I mean, right now, if you hear this, it's summertime and Wernambool, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, real quick, before I forget, just because we brought up Australia.
I had a thought last night right before I went to bed, seconds before I went to bed, because they shot in New Zealand.
Oh, seconds before you went to bed.
You shouldn't be eating before bedtime.
Vigo Mortensen, is there anyone, is there any actor who's like, seems as good a dude as Vigo Mortensen?
No.
I don't know if I've ever seen him look mad or, like, he just seems like the sweetest dude.
Yes, very gentle.
Very gentle.
But is that, I mean, I worry about saying that about Vigo Morton's because someone's going to be like, can we check his Wikipedia page for a controversy section?
I worry about saying that about any man, really.
Yeah, yeah.
He just, like, the way we all, like, Keanu, we've all rallied around Keanu Reeves is like, he's the best guy in Hollywood.
I feel like Vigo Mortensen is right outside the door, just kind of quietly smoking a clove cigarette, and we should give him his due.
Yeah, I feel like if Vigo Mortensen was the same, like, celebrity level as Keanu Reeves, I think that he would probably be in that same category of conversation.
There could be a Vigo John Wick.
Like, Lego.
It'd be more like at this point, like a Vigo, like nobody, right?
Because like Vigo's, he's no spring chicken anymore, right?
Yeah, that's very. He's like in his 60s, probably.
Yeah, he's probably in his 60s, right?
Jesus.
Well, you know, I guess.
I don't know any of this.
I don't want to know any of this.
That's the real riddle.
Well, the real riddle is the one that we're about to do from Ben in Warnemble, Australia.
Okay, here's your riddle.
On Stanley on were the last words of Babylon.
If I were to stand in Stanley's place, it would bring salty tears to people's face.
It's one of those little mermaids that is in the front of the boat
It's one of those goddamn little mermaids that's in the front of the boat
You smashed the champagne bottle on their head
I want to see a quick scene
Okay Adel you're a boat captain and you just hit Aaron
Who's one of those little mermaids in the front of the boat
And uh, Bon Voyage
Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh shit
Oh that's a lot of blood
Or sap, I don't know what that is.

I am so sorry.
I thought you were like, um, I thought you were wood.
I am, I am.
Oh.
I just got veneers, so.
Oh.

This is going to be like $8,000 at least, man.
Oh, my God.
I don't know if you want to zel me or what's going on.
Oh, um, can you get, are you able to like rest yourself

Hey, everybody.
Guard, the captain not be using champagne.
Mutiny, mutiny, mutiny.
No, no, no, hold on, hold on.
This is Moette, M-O-W-Hi-Hiv, and this is my wife.
Mrs. Captain, enchanté, listen, everyone, a crowd,
crowd about to board the boat.
It's not real champagne.
It's bad luck to not use real champagne.
Listen, cheersing with water never killed anyone.
Yes, it did.
It killed a lot of people.
Oh, my God.
They didn't pee out the poison?
No, I know that.
It's bad luck.
It brings a bad omen on you and yours.
I guess you can't pay the $40,000 to fix my team.
It was eight.
Just, listen, I used fake champagne because I went the real champagne for all the passengers.
Yay.
All the passengers are a lot.
Real pain for my, fake friends.
Champagne for my real friends.
Good luck drinking champagne when you're drowning because the ship has,
bad luck put upon it.
Listen, when's the last time a ship
crashed Titanic? What are we talking?
Yesterday. I curse
this ship. I curse this ship
in these inhabitants. Unless
you give me real champagne
and you
pay $70,000.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
You're going to put a hole in your boat.
You're going to put a hole in your front of the boat.
That's fine. I bounce out of the weight.
You what?
I balance out of the weight.
You balance out the weight?
Yeah.
Sounds like it bore and pee off the poison stuff to be.
All right, fine.
Take me off your boat.
See how it goes.
But then you'll find out about the curse of the...
Throw some termites in your...
Ah!
See?
Good to work, boys.
Yeah, jokes on you.
The termites are her friends.
Yeah, jokes on you, the termites were her hair.
And actually, it's a glow-up.
And they never hurt her.
And actually, it's a glow-up.
Aaron, if they're your friends, name three names, you would give a termite.
Term, my.
It's a Mr. Buck.
Okay.
All right.
You know what?
A professional improviser, everybody.
The thousands that you spend on classes, they don't, it's not thousands of, like,
for making up names.
Yeah, well, like, you're so smart, JPC.
You gave me three names for a termite.
King Shandy.
Mr. Terrific.
and Lord Wilmington
That second one
seems a little suspicious
Oh yeah
I feel like that might be
From a super bad movie
All right
Adel if you're so smart
Give me three names for termites
Jeff Doug
Tony
This is this is how they name minions
He's just doing minions names for turbites
Banana banana
Banana
Um okay
You guys were so close to getting this riddle
Oh I thought Aaron got it
Well, no, no one even's tried it.
Well, I guess Aaron did say mermaid on the front of the ship, which was wrong.
Oh.
We never got that information.
On Stanley on were the last words of Babylon.
If I were to stand in Stanley's place, it would bring salty tears to people's face.
A lighthouse.
Ooh, it's got to be a lighthouse.
Interesting.
You're thinking something nautical for like the salty tears to people's face?
Yeah.
No, the salty tears to people's face.
Tears is a hint I will give you are, like, literal.
It's not like a metaphor.
Yeah, they're actual tears.
Actual tears.
Stanley makes me think Stanley steamer makes me think Stanley the water bottles that were all the rage.
Oh, yeah.
Hey, in some people's households, they still are.
Okay.
The toch, Stanley.
Babylon.
Hmm.
This is a tough one.
Yeah, this is a tough one.
Why do people cry?
Because they're sad.
Because they're sad, because they're happy, because they're in pain.
This is actually a great line that I think will really help you.
You're on a really good position here with why do people cry?
Having a wedding.
Kids going after college.
The wind.
No.
Now Babylon was a Dominic Chazelle movie from two years ago, which I thought was actually.
I saw so much negative press about it.
it and how people were like, want, wop, flop. And then I watched it. I was like, I kind of love
this movie. I never saw it, but Mariah watched it. And it was one of those things where, like,
sometimes she'll, like, start watching a movie while we're recording or something. Then I'll come
upstairs and I'll catch like the last 40 minutes of the movie. Catching the last 40 minutes of
Babylon, by the way. You can't say you saw it. It's like, yeah. It's bonkers, which is why I
like this so much. It's just nonstop.
Um, why do, why do people cry? Because, because someone's going away, because someone's returned. I mean, there's a lot of reasons people.
No, let's think of more like, um, things that make people cry that are not like emotional things.
Hmm. But that's, I think that's really giving it away. Yeah, I said the wind.
Oh, onions? Adel.
Onion. The answer is onion. Now, do you know why the answer is onion? And I posted in, in our chat, the text of this.
Okay.
On Stanley on with the last words of Babylon. If I were to,
to stand in Stanley's place, it would bring
salty tears to people's face.
Stanley's the guy cut in the onions?
Yeah.
If I, and if you put quotes around I,
were to stand in Stanley's place,
what does that do to the start of the riddle?
Oh, is Stanley of cutting board?
Onion.
Onion.
On in on, onion.
On, I, on.
Wow.
If you replace Stanley with I, you spell onion.
Okay, this kind of rocks.
Wow.
This is a good riddle, actually.
This is a good riddle.
And doesn't this kind of make you think, like,
maybe Warren Bull Australia is like the fucking place to be, you know?
Yeah.
The only thing I know about it is one good riddle came from here.
What's in the water in Warren Bowl?
I'd like to see a scene.
Yes, please.
Adel, you are going to HR, which is JPC,
and you're complaining about being bullied at work by an onion.
He's making you cry.
Hey, sorry, Todd.
We had a 3 p.m.
Oh, yeah, come on in.
Okay.
What's up, penis breath?
Sorry, I just saw E.T. last night for the first time.
Oh, do they say penis breath in that?
Oh, my God, don't they?
Oh, no, I could get in huge trouble.
Hey, listen, I don't want to make a big deal out of this just because this is about someone in the office, which I guess most HR complaints are.
Sure, yeah, yes.
Otherwise, you have no power.
Yeah, and again, it's all anonymous.
Even the stuff that I say to you, penis breath.
I think it isn't.
I've Googled it, and it is an E.T.
So is this because I have Reese's at my desk all the time, Reese's Pieces?
No.
And I know you say Reese's Pieces, but I prefer mine.
I promise you, it has nothing to do with you.
It's just because I saw E.T.
For the first time last night, and they do say penis breath in E.T., which is crazy.
Just walking by an open door.
Oh, shit, oh, shit, oh, shit.
I don't want to ease drop on HR, but.
Please don't.
Then just keep walking by.
Wait, this isn't my, this isn't the bathroom.
room, zip, uh, are, well, well, hey, Onion, how are you doing?
Hey, penis breath.
Come on.
How is this spreading?
How are you doing today?
Ow, you shove me into the wall, which is good, because we're co-workers and that's, this is.
So you, you're okay with that?
Because that could be like a serious HR violation, but you're okay with it.
You said it.
No, tixies, bexies.
Um, I got a question for HR.
It's totally okay to take your co-worker's wife.
found on a date, right? Because I already
did that. Last night.
High five? Hi-five? Hi-five me?
I'm an onion. Hi-five me. I'm an onion.
I'll five me. I'm an onion. I'll have five you.
Move away. Move aside. Brian, I'm going to high-five
this onion. Yeah, I guess
it's outside of the workplace. So as long as
it's not like a work-sanctioned event,
I think you can kind of do whatever you want.
All right. Well, I'm going to keep on,
keep it on. I'm going to go text
your wife that I had a great time
last night. My wife? No, no, not
you. Don't worry. Of course. I would have
never do that. That explains why this morning my wife came home in her same clothes and was walking
while saying, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. Yeah, that was me. I'm going to get back
to my desk. I think everybody better get back to their desk. The onion's been bullying me. I want to find,
I want to, this onion needs to go for the last two weeks. She's been nonstop bullying me.
What? She has been harassing me physically, mentally. Penis breath. That is a very serious allegation,
Okay. Are you sure you want to file an official complaint?
Yeah, I'd also love it if I just wasn't referred to as penis breath.
It seems like that maybe there was a...
All right. I'm going to log it here, but just so you know, I'll have to phone the home office.
Oh, God.
E.T. is just living in every part of my bread.
Would you think that?
Phone home office.
Oh, my God.
I'm buttoned in my two weeks.
Well, it's not to see you go, penis breath.
But happy to not smell that smell.
no more. Hey, Onion again. I would like to put in a complaint. Oh, please, absolutely. It's actually a
two-part complaint for penis breath. Okay. Um, why his, why his breath stinks so bad, and also
his wife just broke up with me, and that's not nice, so I'd like to make a complaint. I feel
bullied. Are you kidding me? I feel bullied. His wife broke up with me, I feel bullied. Hey, penis
breath, be nice. Onion's going through a breakup. I'm going through a breakup, so... You have no
emotional sensitivity. That's one of your big problems. Apparently it gives you a UTI
to have sex with an onion?
I didn't know that.
How was I supposed to know that?
You think you had sex with an E.T.
Uh, copyright loss?
I was trying to, is there an extraterrestrial terrestrial STD, something there, huh?
Oh, yeah.
An E.T.D.
Seen?
Seen.
Seen.
Seen?
Estreter, eh.
Give me like 40 minutes.
Estrejectural.
Extratertectical.
Yes, there we go.
Extratestical.
Case you don't clip that.
Here we go.
Here's another one from Jess, she, her.
Thank you for including your pronouns, Jess.
The riddle is thus.
We pick but don't choose.
We don't come in twos.
Periodically smaller.
We won't make you taller.
The top of the tip, we scratch and we click.
Some fancy, some plain.
But what is?
is our name.
It's not an apple.
Aaron, that is exactly correct.
It is not an apple.
You're so...
Wow.
I'm so smart.
The top of the tip...
Is it a food?
Is it a plant?
Something produces food?
It is not a food,
but it's...
I hesitate to say eat,
but some people do bite these.
I guess some people,
People eat them, too. We pick but don't choose. We don't come in twos. Interesting. His mind went to boogers, Aaron. Do we want to do anything with that? That was the first place his mind went. It's not food that people eat. I can probably say never had a booger touch my tongue. Oh, you've never tried a bugger. No. You guys, I will take my headphones off. I'm a little nauseous this morning. I will take my headphones off.
It's just, Aaron, it's just when someone says never. And then you'll have to.
beg me to put my headphones back on.
You'll have to bribe me with money.
Human money.
New York Post is saying Baja Blast Pie called
Bougar baked Good.
Throws headphones into the garbage disposal, turned on garbage disposal.
Sounds the same as when JBC talks.
High five, though.
High fives on you.
Can you read this riddle one more time?
We pick but don't choose.
We don't come in two.
periodically smaller, we won't make you taller.
The top of the tip, we scratch and we click some fancy, some plain, but what is our name?
I like this riddle a lot.
I think Jess did a good job.
It's man-made.
It's like picking fruit.
Is it man-made?
Not really, Aaron.
It's not really man-made.
No, no, it's natural.
It's not man-made.
Fingernails.
Atoll.
Atle.
Fingernails?
It's fingernails.
Oh, those are not man-made.
Well, I mean.
You're making them right now, man.
But they're like, they're constructed, they're like natural, right?
They like, they occur.
I don't have any say over making fingernails.
Honestly, if I could, if I could just stop making fingernails, I think that, that would be for the best.
No.
If you put a cue tip in at a certain angle, I bet you could turn that button off.
It's a really risky procedure because it's not based on any science, but I bet you could do it.
Aaron, you wouldn't stop growing fingernails?
No, because it protects my little nails.
nail beds I guess but you gotta cut him you gotta clip them all the time aren't the nail beds only in need
of protection because there's a fingernail no I think that they're sensitive right but if the fingernail was gone
wouldn't they be more calloused and hardened no they're like a sensitive part of your body
that's have you ever had like a nail completely fall off it's terrible but I'm saying what if it was
just like the other side of the finger is I think that's what Adel's saying what if we had double-sided
fingers you know what you know what okay he's he does
Here's the thing.
I was going to defend how smart our bodies are at just doing what they need to be doing.
But our breathing hole and our eating hole is the same hole.
So I don't know.
Not all of us, Aaron.
Not all of us.
So you know what?
We're not that well designed.
I'm not going to die in the hill of humans.
Aaron thinks that Baja Blast pie is so disgusting because she's putting it in her breathing hole.
Oh, Aaron, no.
That is not the hole you eat the Baja blast pie.
That is not.
Guys, I cannot get another UTI.
ETI.
Let's your seat, Adel.
Let's your seat.
Yeah, please.
Get for the love of God.
I want to see a scene.
I can't ever remember what I wanted to do.
That was days ago.
It was fingernails.
We need it.
Let's go to a break.
No, no, no.
We can't go to a break yet.
Let's do one more riddle and then I promise we'll do a break.
Okay.
Kevin Kevinson submitted this riddle.

Yeah, I agree, Aaron.
Okay, go ahead.

You're doing the famous four-score and 20 years speech.
JPC, you are a heckler who feels like Lincoln is sort of out of touch with lingo.

We really wanted slaves.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so what was I saying?
Four score in year...
Sorry, I messed up this time.
Damn, Larry President, seven years ago.
Our great nation brought forth a new nation.
Kind of had to think about who would be heckling Lincoln right now.
Oh, man.

there's a civil war
okay I feel like I lost the sauce
on this one

Douglas

I feel okay.
Aaron Adel, can I share a real life story brought to you by the fine folks at Quince
that happened to me.
So it's Thanksgiving.
We do a thing every year
where we go to a Friendsgiving
at a friend's house.
My wife is dressed.
My child is dressed.
My wife says,
I say, I'm going to go upstairs
and take a shower.
I come downstairs.
And my wife says,
you are not wearing that to Thanksgiving.
And I said, well, I thought,
I thought I was going to wear this.
And she said, no, you go upstairs and change
and you change it to something nice.
And I went upstairs.
I went into my closet and what did I find?
But my quince, long sleeve Henley,
and I said, this actually looks pretty nice.
And I think that if I
wear this downstairs my wife will shake her head yes and say that's something we could leave
the house and guess what it happened but i'm sure that was like so expensive that sounds pretty
luxe no aaron it was affordable it was down right affordable because quince makes the essentials
every guy needs i'm talking mongolian cashmere sweaters for fifty dollars italian wool coats that look
in field designer and denim and chinos that fit just right oh and don't get me started on their
outerwear lineup. It's no joke. They have down jackets, wool top coats, leather styles. They're all
built to last. Each piece is made from premium materials by trusted factories that meet rigorous
standards for craftsmanship and ethical production. I love quins. I particularly love their
home line. Incredible sheets, glassware, rugs. Don't get me started on their rugs. So guys,
stop getting sent back upstairs by your wife to change because what you picked out is not
something that you should even own anymore and actually should go to the dump.
It feels like a you thing.
And not the dump where they just bury it, the dump where they burn it.

What were you wearing when you gave downstairs?
Full turkey costume.
Who knew it.
Ah, nuts.
I missed out on getting the worm this morning.
Wait, but you're, you talked all about wanting to be the early bird.
I know.
Well, what I say and what I do is two different things.
There's quite a discrepancy.
You've been practicing the worm all year.
You said you were going to get out of bed, flop down on the floor, and start writhing around.
I know.
I love breakdancing, but I guess I didn't get it.
I got to get it more early.
Oh, you know what else I need to do early?
Acorns early.
Ah.
Oh, wait, you mean Acorns Early, the smart debit card and money app that grows kids' money skills as they grow up?
That acorns early?
Yeah, when my kids get out of their eggs, out of the nest, I want them to be prepared and set up for success in the world.
That would have changed my life.
Because I was growing up being like, why aren't they teaching us how to handle our finances in school?
They're kind of just throwing us to the wolves when we turn 20, and I don't know anything about money.
And if I had had acorns early, this would have been way easier.
Yeah, with acorns early, you start with the in-app chores tracker and teach your kids the value of a dollar.
Then you can let your kids set their own saving goals and start building healthy bunny habits early.
Kids can spend what they've earned with their very own customizable debit card giving them that extra sense of independence.
Plus, with acorns early spending limits and real-time spend notifications, parents always stay in control.
What do squirrels do with acorns?
Are those like their pillows?
Is that their money?
These are really good questions.
They treat them like pillows.
If your kid, I don't know, is starting a winter lemonade sand and you need to help them stretch
that dollar, really start their business, acorns early might be the answer.
When my kids are old enough, because they're not quite old enough yet, I'm definitely
going to be using acorns early to help teach them financial literacy.
I've played around with this tool.
It's really awesome.
And it teaches a lot of great lessons for younger children to start with good money habits early
on. Ready to teach your kids the smart way to earn, save, and spend? Get your first month on us when you

we are on three. One, two, three. A pretty bird. Acorns are their religion for squirrels.
Oh.
Sandy in here.
Sandy's in here.
I can't believe I fell for it.
You ruined your clothes to do this intro?
These are pre-ruined clothes.
They were more expensive.
Oh, you're dumping out your canteen,
and Sandy's sort of forming in the ether.
Whoa.
Cool.
Yeah, Thomas Hayden Church doesn't have a monopoly on this move.
That's a Spider-Man three.
Three?
I love it.
Actually, not bad casting.
No.
I would say.
not terrible casting i mean i they didn't hire me but short of me which would have been the best
choice yes in church sure why not but he's sort you know he's sort of an every man he's got that
gravelly voice which is what you want for the character striped sweatshirt of course what else
big striped sweatshirt guy that's mostly on costumes no i think that's his well sandy yeah
let's get into some fun little games or puzzles whatever you have for us yeah well
I don't know what to call these.
I guess they're just riddles.
They are, I've come up with a bunch of, I guess, dad jokes for you guys to suss out.
Yes.
Love it.
I'm leaning in.
We all know what I'm talking about.
But just in case, let's give you an example.
If I ask you, what does a mountain climber and a stoner have in common?
You would say, well, they both like to peek early.
God damn it.
They both like to get high.
They would like to get high.
Thank you, too.
Yes.
Okay.
The dad chimes.
in.
Aaron was pinching the bridge of her nose like a mom in an 80s movie who's at the kitchen table
and the bills piled up.
And the dad's like, I got a new business idea.
I was going to write these jokes.
What if you went down to the factory and you asked if they could hire you back?
She just keeps saying, I don't know how we're going to do this.
How are we going to do this?
I was at the zoo the other day and I was looking at the camels.
And I heard someone say to someone else next to me, not to me.
what do you call a three-humped camel
which of course I know the answer to you
and the answer to that joke is pregnant
and I turn to
Hold on, hold on, I've got to write this one down
Dad's Will Enjoy
which I feel like is a pretty classic dad joke
It's like a dad joke that I've heard a lot before
I turned to my right to see who had said it
It was a maybe five-year-old boy
to another five-year-old boy
And I was
Whoa
And I was like
So that is a joke that you've heard
like your dad. I want to say your dad.
They were alone. They were like, probably with a chaperon
who was not like directly next to them.
But I was like, that is a joke that you probably heard your dad say.
But I'm like, do you know what that mean?
I was like, I really wanted to drill in
on this five-year-old to be like, what do you
think that means?
That's crazy.
Yeah, it's pretty wild.
Yeah, are you outraged that they know what a pregnant woman looks like
or that they've heard of
dromedary camels?
You know what?
It was more about the dromedary camel thing.
I'm like, you identify that these are humps, huh?
Okay, you just don't think this is like his, like, fucked up back that you're seeing.
It was more just the bodiness of the joke.
Sorry, I made, fuck, I fucked up the camel joke.
I should have said Bactrian.
Bactrian's the one with two, Dramadari's the one with one.
That went way over our head.
Thank you for not correct.
No, no, no, you're being very kind.
Obviously, we all know the difference between camels, and I was the one who fucked up.
Sorry, Cindy, we're going to loop in Jack Hanna real quick for a big laugh.
Cindy, what if it was a dromedary, but it was with twins?
I guess you don't need to hump twice to do twins
I don't really know how Campbell's do it
How do they do it
Hump twice with twins
Who are you, Dan Blazarian?
God, we're gonna be pipinging and laughs all over it
I haven't even asked one one riddle yet
I like but I like how you have a zoo story
For every occasion, JPC
I'll have to fucking think of one for the goddamn next segment
JCPy's like I'm out of material
I gotta go down to the zoo again
Over
Listen in those strangers conversations
Me with a tiny little notebook at the zoo
Just writing down observations that I see

They're both
Getting smoke in your house
There's a lot of smoke in your house
A party throw
by new neighbors.
Oh, they're both housewarming.
Housewarming.
Nice one.
Wow.
That one's so good.
I have dad energy coursing through my body and it's connecting me to the dad god of the sky
who powers all of our dad abilities.
Yeah.
You might have access to this list of jokes that I've written down.
I store them in a database.
Okay.
What is a synchronized diver?
have in common with a billiards player they both love pools play a pool part of it pool's part
of it they both dip their toes in pool why is it a synchronized diver they're both weary of
pool sharks they both hit the eight ball they both pool's part of it hit the pierce if you're
synchronized you need to be on pool cues cue they both have pool cues they focus on pool cues um but
I do think that pool sharks are real
because my cousins wouldn't have lied to me
when I was a kid.
You know, I'm not going to correct you.
I think that a little bit of fear will do you good.
Was your cousin a shark?
Is that why?
No, I mean, my cousin, name was Bruce.
Don't necessarily know that they were charred.
I mean, they were animatronic.
It makes sense that you're related to a shark
because you're all cartilage in no bone.
Right?
And you can't stop moving.
I don't know.
No, I just, that's just an object.
It has a setup of a dad joke.
It's just an observation about you.
God, all cartilage is up like, okay, hey, I'll take it.
You got those little fish on your stomach that I guess clean you.
I fucking love those little fish.
I love those little fucking fish.
You're always biting surfers.
Robert Chaw's trying to blow you up.
There you go.
I'll kill you, JPC.
You could say that I'm a great white.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't say that, though.
But they said that in Carmel, Indiana.
But remember, truth and comedy.
That's all they say.
You got to do truth in comedy.
All right.
You want another one?
Yes.
What does a clueless person have in common with a broken sword?
Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd.
What does a clueless person have in common with a broken sword?
No handle on the situation.
Ooh.
That's pretty good.
I mean, that's an alternate answer.
I'll give it to you.
What is a broken sword?
What is a clueless person having come with a broken sword?
They don't, both of them don't get to the point.
They're not sharp.
That's it.
They're missing the point.
They're missing the point.
I'm making my way down time.
I made that clueless joke and Sandy looked at me for one second like, what the fuck?
And then he started laughing.
He had to remember who's in clueless, which we all do.
Yeah.
Stacey Dash.
What did you say?
Stacey Dash?
Stacey Dash.
Yeah.
Is it Stacey Dash?
Dan Hadea.
Dan Hadea.
You'd say Dan Hadea would have gone.
Yeah, I guess I should lead with Dan Hodea.
Amy Hackerling.
What is an idle chatterer having common with an unskilled marksman?
No point.
No target, no.
No, that was the last one.
No, yeah, that is the last one, but can't it work?
Idle chatterer having common with a lazy archer?
What was it?

The good news is that, uh, I get to decide what's right now.
wrong here. That's right. That's great for you. Yeah. It is a term that means to chit-chat.
It's an expression. Shooting the shit? You're very close. Unskilled marksman technically don't
shoot that shit. Uh, shoot the breeze. Shoot the breeze. Shoot the breeze.
Dang, bang, bang. God, hey, I'll be honest with you. I don't think I've heard the term shoot the
breeze. I feel like we, we may have just brought that one back. I think that one may have been on

I referenced it in the last game, the last episode, but I don't remember Coco rules.
Coco rules is if when the last person who's living forgets you, you now disappear from, like, the afterlife or whatever.
That's what the whole remember me is all about, yeah.
Remember me.
Got it, got it.
Spoiler for Coco.

For listeners who haven't done so,
please get high and watch the Robin Williams
Popeye
it's so
it's so fucking weird
is it worth
is it worth doing that
it's so it's so
Robin Williams and Shelley Long
and it's so weird
so here's a fun fact
here's a fun fact not about
Popeye the movie
but the
the fast food chain Popeyes
is not named after
Popeye the comic strip or Popeye
the movie but it is named after
after another movie.
It is named after the lead character from the movie
The French Connection, whose name is Popeye Doyle.
Played by Gene Hackman, yeah.
That's wild.
They named Popeye's after that.
Which is wild because in public consciousness now,
Popeye, the Sailor Man is way, way, way more well known
than Popeye Doyle.
Well, that's because Gene Hackman died
and somebody co-coed him.
Right.
Remember me.
But Popeye's never going to die.
Well, Popeye will live forever.
Hey, speaking of things that I'll live forever,
saving one more?
Can we do one more?
I don't have a segue.
Thank you for saving me there.
Oh, it was a cute up for me.
Okay.

Impossible movie has something in common with an old car.
