We have to kill Aaron Keefe. Why? She has a podcast about riddles that we went undercover into to try and bring down from within, right, JPC?
Starting point is 00:01:46 Yeah, right. I mean, that's another great reason to do it. Let it be so and let it be done. And if I find out that a riddle has been read, then it's off with both your heads. Okay. Aaron, come here. Hey, Aaron. This is the queen.
Starting point is 00:01:59 Hey, guys, why are you dressed in beach casual? Don't worry about it. I'm in beach formal. do do do do Yeah, it's a wetsuit A wetsuit with a little bowtie. Yeah. Which, by the way, would love to see.

And your majesty, I know that we're the knights and we protect the room from medals and everything. Is it cool if Adel and I don't do the actual slicing of Aaron?

Starting point is 00:02:44 I don't need to explain the concept of frenemies to the African queen. A queen does not get her hands dirty with the blood of a tired girl. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Don't call our friend tired. Only we can call her tired. Ha! I've been stabbed. Oh, the rest.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Is silence. What does she mean by that? I just killed the fucking queen. Oh, that's the end of Hamlet. I was trying to put my sword in its scabbard thing. Did I get the queen? Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Well, it started out as I didn't really want to be known as a woman killer, but I guess here we are. Well, the queen is dead and long live the queen. Aaron, of course, hope you forgive us for trying to. I'm queen, baby. Let's go. Gets and a horse drives away. can I just say to the two of you, Adel, Aaron,
Starting point is 00:03:36 my friendship vibe people, happy, happy fucking Valentine's Day of January. Happy January Valentine's Day. Do you guys celebrate January of Valentine's Day? I celebrate Valentine's every month. I celebrate July 4th every month on the fourth of the month. I celebrate January 6th every month of the 6th of the month. And I celebrate, I was born in the December of Valentine's Days.
Starting point is 00:03:59 So I celebrate the January Valentine's. days as well. And then next month, we got the real deal, baby, and I cannot wait for that. Hmm. Hmm. What's your favorite holiday on a different month? JPC on a first date when he's run out of things to say. I've already talked about myself for 45 minutes. I guess I got to ask her a fucking question. I guess I like February Flag Day, which is Valentine's Day, technically. And I prefer Marcheween. March of Marchean Marchean
Starting point is 00:04:35 rarely celebrated underrated it is Halloween and March But does that mean that February doesn't get a Halloween
Starting point is 00:04:41 Well It does Which is Dadda Papa Papa Papa Does February get a Halloween Papa?
Starting point is 00:04:49 No And it's your fault You're the reason I like January April April Fool's day I guess
Starting point is 00:05:01 New Year's Day. New Year's Day, aka January April Fool's. I like that, Aaron. That's fun. Yeah, all right. Very good. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:05:09 I feel like if we're starting traditions on the show, I think January April Fool's is a fun tradition. We miss it this year. Much better time to do a prank. Just start the year off completely. Fuck it up a relationship with a prank. So stick with us, January, 2027. We're going to be doing January April Fool's, January 1st,
Starting point is 00:05:27 2027. We'll do it. Maybe. If it's a Wednesday. It's a Wednesday. If it's not a Wednesday, all bets are off. And let me do a quick check here just to see it is not a Wednesday. Let me see if I'm going to just fill out some emergency paperwork. I'm trying to get out of being old man puzzles.
Starting point is 00:05:47 So I'm just going to send this to... I'm also going to fill out some paper. Emergency contact. To who it may concern, I don't want to be old man puzzles today. because I just don't really want to. If someone else can do it, that would be greatly appreciated. Love, light, and laughter. Hey, JPC.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Queen Aaron and send. JPC, we're, I don't know, a couple minutes into the episode and we haven't done riddles. I'm going to give Aaron a call to make sure she's coming into podcasts today, coming into riddles today. That makes sense. You should call her because she blocks my number. Okay, all right. That's wrong. Hello?
Starting point is 00:06:30 Oh, Erin, are you coming into riddles today? Oh, that was today. Oh, you sound, you sound sick. I'm really sick. Never tell a woman she sounds sick. I got. You sound so tired. I got that disease that you get from being so hot all the time.
Starting point is 00:06:49 jaundice? Yeah. But I'm so sorry to do this, but I think I'm too sick to riddles today. Oh, no. Well, a lot of people were going to listen to this episode. Should we punt on this? Should we bring in someone else? I know. I feel like you guys could probably figure something out.
Starting point is 00:07:10 That's a lot of assuming. Send money. What was that last part? Hello? Hello? Send money. That's how I'm ending all my phone calls of the new year. All right.
Starting point is 00:07:23 All right. I love you, too. Send money. Send money. In lieu of flowers, send money. Okay, bye-bye. Okay, take care now. Send money. All right, send money now.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Aaron, I'm not really going to send you any money. You know what I'm saying? I just don't think you deserve it, you know? What do you mean? Okay, what about this? What about you do a couple of riddles? And then if I think that you did a really good job with those riddles, I'll send you some money.
Starting point is 00:07:57 You are tricking me. It's more like a tip, you know? Like, I believe fully that you're capable of dropping off a steaming hot plate of rentals right from the kitchen on the table. We're filling my water a couple of times. But it's customary to give it at the end of the meal, you know? I'd love to just give the tip. And that's a fun thing you can do. Go in with a stack of ones, put it on the table, and then for every little infraction, just remove one of the tips, take a dollar away.
Starting point is 00:08:24 That's a fun way to be an asshole. while making unbreaking eye contact. Mm-hmm. What do you guys? Oh, please. What do you guys think about the phenomenon of people asking for tips in scenarios where you're like, I don't think any like tip-worthy like work was done in this scenario? It's a lot of like they spin the iPad back at you and there's the option for like a 20% tip.
Starting point is 00:08:49 What are our thoughts on that? I'm never, I'm going to tip every time. I'm too anxious to not. I don't know. I think energetically, I just got to do it or I'm going to be overthinking it the rest of the day. It's a gift to myself. I can't be a part of this discourse. I'm too sick.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Send money. I definitely, every time it happens, I always, like Aaron said, I just tip because I'm like caught off guard where I'm like, oh, I didn't think this is a tip scenario. And now I couldn't possibly not tip because I'm thrown. But then later, as I walk away, I'm like, what the fuck was that? Like, that didn't deserve a tip. I'll tell you what. I only tip at places that have, that accept cash tips. Because I do not believe for a second that, like, that money that I tip on the iPad as just, like, part of my credit card, I just do not believe.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I cannot believe it's always going to the people who, I feel like, I feel like, is this just a way for, like, big Jimmy Johns to, like, ring out another $3 from me? I'm like, if, if, even if I ask them, like, this tip goes to you. They're like, yeah, I guess it does. But I'm like, well, how do you even know, right? Like, do you get, like, a printout at the end of your shift with, like, how much the tips were? No, it goes into Jimmy John's pocket himself in his big old tower with the white cat on his lap. Well, the white cat is dead because he's a big game hunter. Yeah, he is a big game hunter.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Unfortunately. Load his blunderbuss. So I've started carrying, like, which I never did before, but I carry cash with me now, which I absolutely hate because I hate having things in my pocket. But I do that specifically so that I can, like, put cash tips in, just so I know. just why I know that a person is like actually getting the tip. I feel like if there's ever like a study done on all of this, we would quickly see that like society is built on a big mass of lies.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Because I can see these corporations keep making money and they keep like firing employees. It's like the money's going somewhere, but is it going where I think it's going? In fact, I think it's going not where I think it's going. Just be paranoid everybody. That's all I'm saying. Yeah, that's all he's saying.
Starting point is 00:10:55 These first set of riddles made me laugh out loud when I figured out what they were. And they are from Basel, I think, is how you pronounce it, from Atlanta, Georgia. How's it spelled? B-A-S-I-L. B-A-S-I-L? Yeah. And you said Atlanta? I believe it's pronounced Basel.
Starting point is 00:11:18 Okay, great. Perfect. He was at our Atlanta last. BASL. Oh, yeah, I remember. Yeah, it's bashed. Okay, perfect. Okay, so, dearest Aaron, Adel, JPC,
Starting point is 00:11:33 Kevin, Janet and Casey, Kevin, Susie's Radiots and Future Lizards. I've created some homebrew riddles that I think would be good warm-up riddles. I have titled these riddles, Extreme Makeover Riddles Edition. These are phrases that will... Exactly, Adel, you're ahead of it. These are phrases that will sort of rhyme with the phrase. move that bus, which they shout before the reveal of folks extreme home makeovers in the ABC show. Wait, what the fuck does that?
Starting point is 00:12:00 In what context do they shout, move that bus? What is happening? What is happening? I've never seen the show. Oh my gosh, JPC, a bit of culture that I miss with my whole heart. There was a show called Extreme Home Makeover. Oh, okay. Extreme Home Makeovers.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Yes. In Thai something. I thought it was Extreme Makeovers. I was like, how extreme are these makesovers? Ty Pennington. Ty Pennington hosted the show and then over the course of a week
Starting point is 00:12:28 they would completely redo a family's home and what they'd bring the family back from like Disneyland or whatever the fuck they shipped them off to and then the family would stand in front of this huge bus and then that was blocking their new home that was blocking their new home and they go are you ready to see your new home and then everyone would go move that bus
Starting point is 00:12:48 and it would drive away and then they would be like and then commercial break would happen we'd come back from commercial right and they'd be like our house is amazing this was such a fun part of culture because uh a lot of the people that they did the makeovers for they ended up having to like sell their homes because they couldn't pay the taxes of their new homes like they just didn't do the full oh because they would increase these home values they like gut them and like do additions and stuff increase the home values the property taxes would get assessed at a higher rate and then these people would have to oh my god and then i'm sure i'm sure the native
Starting point is 00:13:22 neighbors love that too. It's like, yeah, this is a neighborhood of mostly $300,000 homes. And now there's a $1.6 million home next to me. And I'll never sell my house. Exactly. The phenomenon of the show and why I think people laughed about it so much is when you're on the show and you are a teen or younger, you cannot mention to any of these fuckers if you like or are interested in anything. Because then your room is that forever. That is, the amount of like 13 year olds that were like, Oh, my room's a pirate ship now. And I'm about to, I'm about to hit puberty. Yeah. And in six months, this will be the thing I care the least about.
Starting point is 00:14:02 The kids would be like, I went to the beach once and I had a really nice time. And then their floor will be sand. And their bed is a beach chair. I want to see a scene. There was like a nightclub one. A very quick scene. Aaron, you are a 12-year-old. And Adel and I are working for, what's the name of the show?
Starting point is 00:14:22 Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Extreme Makeover Home Edition. And we're kind of grilling you to try to figure out what you like so we can change your room. But you're trying to give us absolutely nothing. Can I have a glass of water or could I call my lawyer? Oh, she loves water. No, no, no, no. Just feeling a little thirsty.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Oh, so it's glass that you love. No, no, I don't love that. Interesting. Okay, so we'll build an aquarium that a young girl can breathe in. I don't like fish. Or the ocean. Oh, so you're more of a Grateful Dead person. Great.
Starting point is 00:14:55 So we'll have a cemetery room. Ambient guitar rock and dancing bears. I don't like music. I don't like bears. And I don't like any sort of band or a musical act. So you like silence. So it'll be a monastery. So we'll have monk robes in your closet.
Starting point is 00:15:12 And just chanting. And a desk. Yeah. Just a palette, a palette of straw. A window that I can look outside. A single flower. A closet maybe. Desk.
Starting point is 00:15:26 And you said a faucet? No, a closet. Stop right. I can see you ready to have a faucet. Oh, Farah Fosset. You love Farah Fosset. Okay, so this will be a Charlie's Angels themed. You'll have a telephone with your, okay, let's see.
Starting point is 00:15:36 What if the room is the closet? No. And then you open the closet and the closet is the room. Whoa. What if the bed is the window, bed on the wall, window on the floor? I want your standard run-of-the-mill room. I know it might not make for good TV. Oh, a mill room.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Okay, great. So we have a donkey turning a big wheel and then lots of grain being ground down. When does good cop get in here? Come on, please, please. No ladders, no slides, no swings, no giant fixtures, no crazy lighting. Hey, kid, kid. Hey, please, please. Look, we want to do a good room for you.
Starting point is 00:16:15 We don't want to do a bad room for you. We want to do something that you'll like. So instead of telling us what not to do, why don't you just tell us what? one thing that you like and will make a completely normal room out of it. Right? We promise, right, Adel? Yes. Just, we promise to make a normal room, but accentuating maybe just one little thing.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Little tiny tweaks to detail. Yeah. What's just, what's something that you enjoy and something that's a classic that you think you'll enjoy for a while? Okay. Well, I have. Oh, well. Perfect. No, no, I want to be a paleontologist.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Deep pit. No, please. There's a long-haired Korean girl at the bottom. Please, no. Drip. Drip. Drip. Drip.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But it's the faucet. Okay, she's back to Fosset. Okay. You guys, you got to Google image these rooms that these kids had to endure. These poor kids. I most remember, like, pirate ship ones where there'd be, like, a rope. They have to, like, swing on a rope to their bed or something. To get to the bed.
Starting point is 00:17:11 Can you imagine having a bad day and having to do that? And I remember it always being a kid who was just about to enter puberty, where I'm like, they truly, this room would be so embarrassing to them in, like, a minute. months. And 14 minutes. They're already embarrassed. Being 17 and your parents are going out of town on a trip and you're like, I guess I could throw a party in my house, but I don't think I can
Starting point is 00:17:32 fuck in the pirate ship room. Oh, this is my parents' room. Yeah, my parents' room is a pirate ship room. This is my room. It's a normal, nice-looking bedroom. Biggest room in the house, of course. I'm going to sort of change the format of how he wrote these, so
Starting point is 00:17:48 they're more fun for you guys. Okay. And Aaron, I'm so sorry. you said it right these are phrases that will rhyme with move that bus well yeah with will rhyme with bus with bus okay so um i'm gonna give you the thing and then you're gonna yell move that and then the word okay that you think it is okay Casey Casey by the way in the chat said I legitimately remember watching that show as a kid thinking when I'm on this show I'm going to tell them I'm into tasteful interior decorator that's so fucking funny Scandinavian minimalist design that's oh very quickly I also
Starting point is 00:18:21 want to mention because I did I did legit enjoy watching the show I remember there being a lot of moments where one of the people one of the designers or like main folks who works on the house would be like I'm gonna I have this amazing project where I'm gonna take all these geodes and I'm gonna make this entryway that's just like 400 geodes so that they're welcome by the crystals when they walk in the door and inevitably every single episode it'd get down to the last day and they're like, we're way behind on the geode entry, and like, we're really underwater, we're really fucked. And so it's always them scrambling to finish this, like,
Starting point is 00:18:58 amazing big project. And they'd always have to cut corners on that. I just don't believe this show was started in 2004 and ran for 11 seasons. You should watch an episode. It's very, it's very entertaining. You know what else was going on in 2004 that also went for like 11 seasons was House MD? So I think probably what I was doing was watching. House MD at the time.
Starting point is 00:19:21 Extreme makeover House Edition. By the way, thought experiment, do you think that the show House would be as popular if it was just called Greg? Do you think it would have went for 11 seasons? Is his name Greg House? Yeah, his name is Greg. Um, I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Me neither. I think it had to be named House. Aaron, I'm ready for one of these riddles. All right, here we go. Addition symbol. Move that plus. That's nice That's nice
Starting point is 00:19:50 Display of unnecessary An Excessive excitement Move that Fuss? Yes Is it fuss? Uh huh Hold on

Starting point is 00:20:24 So now when we do do a dead stop, we're like I could have dead stop to you guys earlier Right? Yeah, that's fair So we're just gonna let him slide on Bluss? I don't know, Bloss seems pretty harmless Compared to some of the other shit we've set out the show Spare the dead stop, spoil the host
Starting point is 00:20:41 Yeah? I guess Bloss does seem relatively harmless I wonder if anyone, hey, If you were offended by Bless, right into the show. Let us know. Bless your heart. Bless your heart. Bless your heart.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Bless this must. All right. Now we have to settle. Is it Bless This Must or Bless Your Heart? Because we only can do one Bluss merch for this episode when it drops. I think Bless This Must. Plus this must. Bless this must.
Starting point is 00:21:05 It's sort of like a Poe Buddies Nerfick situation. I had a shirt that I bought at Walgreens when I was in high school that said, too, blessed to be stressed. And I loved that shirt. It was a $5 shirt. It was one of the least, the worst fitting shirts I've ever owned. And I remember it was $5 for three for 10.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And I said, I don't need three of these. So I bought the $5 one. Too blessed to be stressed. Blast to be stressed in the land, untrustworthy character in Among Us. Oh, in Among Us. I don't know the names of characters. It's like someone who's being like a little like,

Starting point is 00:22:23 But now we're moving on and things that just don't run. Yeah. Okay. Aaron, will the next one rhyme with cluck? Yeah. Yeah. Move that bus. Okay.

Starting point is 00:23:01 Way to drink from a straw. Move that suck. Action causing a head injury. Move that. Duck? No. I guess duck would be preventing the head injury. We're getting further away, maybe a little bit closer to bus again.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Move that concuss? Yes. Concuss. I would like to see a scene. Okay. GPC, you were building a house on a home makeover show, and you hit your head really hard, and Adel, you are the doctor that is checking to see if he has a head injury. Okay, just look into the flashlight here.
Starting point is 00:23:40 Okay, yeah, I'm fine. I'll get back to work. Oh, I'm not liking what I'm seeing here. Your eyes are dilating, but in a way that's just kind of crazy. Oh, no, no, no. I was built to building the jungle theme bathroom. So I, and it's the shower pipes, it's disposed shower pipes and it hit my head. Uh-oh. But I'm going to go back to do the jungle bathroom because it did not a tiger leopard in the shower.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh, boy, you are speaking in fits and starts. Okay, we do have a test here. to, um, to make sure. Do you need us? It's a Dr. Fitson, Dr. Starts. Uh, we can come and we can help. We could help. Uh, if you want a Fitson starts?
Starting point is 00:24:24 Um, let me. I'm a neurologist. I'm a neurologist. We're two neurologists. We're here to help. Fits and Starts is filmed in front of a life to do audience. Is everybody, seeing this? Is this happening a side in my head?
Starting point is 00:24:39 Seeing what? Fitz and Starch is a Daniel. tiger. Who are fits and starts? Huh? I'm going to go back to work if any couldn't hand me to hand her. He's a neurologist. I'm a neurologist.
Starting point is 00:24:50 We like to fix the brain. Okay, you're tapping your toes like there's a song happening. This is not happening. It's how much in a fist and stars. I wonder if Fitz and Starts is their last names? Probably named Greg.
Starting point is 00:25:08 I'm going to bring your wife in for a second. Oh, thank God. Oh, yeah. Bring a wipe in. because I am sweating. Mrs. Collimer. Yeah. How is he?
Starting point is 00:25:19 Is he going to be okay? Very bad. I think he has minutes to... Jungle bathroom. Not live, but minutes to be coherent. He seems to be slipping into a madness. In a jungle bathroom. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Do you want to say any last words to him? Whart hog's mouth? This is pretty well-timed. I was going to ask for a divorce. Arsante, my lady. It's pleasure to make your acquaintance. You haven't talked to me like this in so long. Mm, so long.
Starting point is 00:25:50 So long, sucker. Let's take you out to do salsa dancing ballet ballroom. I'm afraid he's turning into J.P. Riddles. This is a origin story for me. I see. Bada me, Arsarte. You didn't think today you'd get the origin story of J.P. Riddles, and yet we're here. He was on a whole take of her show.
Starting point is 00:26:12 He was a man. Working out a home makeover show. He bont his head, he turned Cajun. Just a regular. He went gambit mode. He just was making a jungle bathroom, but he hit his head. Fits and starts were raccoons, by the way, obviously. Obviously.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Obviously, more not me. I'm a neurologist. Action occurring in a debate. Move, that. That. This is actually a very like, prop, like, this feels like it's not contentious. It seems like less of a debate word and more of like a, we're having an adult conversation about this. Move that.
Starting point is 00:26:51 How dare you, you whore. Rebuttal. Rive. Rebut. Rebut. Rebusle. No, that's, that makes more sense. It's disgust.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Oh, discuss. Okay. I'd like to see a scene. Sure. You guys are doing a presidential debate. And GPC, your feelings start getting hurt. Like, you don't like the conflict in this. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Okay. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. No, I can do my health care plan. Hey, I'm sorry, moderator, can I ask? Yes. Was his health care plan like super mean and, like, targeted? Like, what did he mean when he was like, let's take care of people who can't take care of themselves? And then he coughed and he winked at me and he drank a big glass of water.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Like, I think he would, that was like a, like a. pointed criticism about how your health care plan could be potentially seen as favoring. It felt personal. It's all personal. And not the people. It's not personal, you know. Well, how about you just do your rebuttal? You can, you can be aggressive back. This is, we want to see a show of strength here.
Starting point is 00:27:58 I think I can speak for the audience when I say that. I didn't want to go, I didn't want to go, you know, contentious in this debate, but I can open up my APO research file. You have 30 more seconds, and it's back to your opponent. My opponent's health care plan is an illegitimate son. What the fuck? I didn't read it before. I just kind of started reading as I was speaking.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Oh, boy. Yeah, his privacy. Privacy is a concern, especially if you have an illegitimate son with a foreign national. Oh, boy. I mean, this is crazy. I'd like to get ahead of this. I have an illegitimate son with a foreign national. I think he already kind of got ahead of it.
Starting point is 00:28:40 No fair! No fair! See? I love my illegitimate son. Dude. Oh, can I tell you guys a conspiracy theory I have? Yes. Yes. I've been noticing this more and more,
Starting point is 00:28:54 people who have bumper stickers on their car that say student driver where they cannot possibly be student drivers. I think people are putting student driver bumper stickers on their car so that when they drive like assholes, people see it and get like less mad at them because they have student driver. I was on the highway in Chicago the other day. It was like dead stop on the highway because there's tons of construction.
Starting point is 00:29:20 And what happens a lot of times is people use like the shoulder and they just drive on the shoulder. Like they figured out a fifth lane that no one else knew about and they just drive on the shoulder. And I saw someone doing that and they had a student driver bumper sticker. And I was like, no way you as a student driver are like, hey, I've only been driving for a week. but I think I'm going to just drive like a maniac on the shoulder of the highway. It felt very much like an advanced driver maneuver. I don't think I've ever seen a student driver bumper sticker. I've seen it on the back or sides of cars where it's like obviously like a like a driver's ed instructor.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Oh, oh, interesting. But I've never seen like a bumper sticker. A lot of them are the magnet ones that you put on your car to like that just say student driver. But they're not like the big patches on the side of the car. They're just like they're truly bumper stickers that people put on. I think to calm people down when they're, it's the same thing when people have like baby on board signs on their car. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:13 Which I'm like, I think the only reason that you have that is so that like what people don't hate you with their car as much, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. This is my big conspiracy. Yeah. I actually, DPC approved by the conspiracy board.
Starting point is 00:30:30 Be on the lookout for it as you're driving around the people look out and see if you see people with student drivers stickers on their car when you don't think that. they're actually student drivers. You just made the word 80% world 80% more hostile to student drivers. I'd be curious to see like the studies of does a car or a van with a baby on board sticker get hit less or like I'd be very interested in like the actual studies on that. Yeah. They have way more car seats stolen out of them. I'm not sure if that is a direct corollary or not. To me it feels like when you leave the house and you're like, I'm going to go grab some groceries and your spouse or whatever is like, be careful. And it's like, do you really like buckle down and go, you know what?
Starting point is 00:31:13 I am going to be very careful. I'll be very careful. Or is it just like a platitude, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, and my one caveat is you cannot, you cannot just look at a person and they're older and be like, that's not a student driver. I don't think that quite works. I think because older people learn to drive like all the time. Like that's more common.
Starting point is 00:31:32 it's more about their attitude and like the way they're driving. Because I remember being 16 and driving a car and being like terrified. If you don't see fear in that person's eyes, then they're probably not a student driver. Yeah. When I went to the DMV a couple years ago, I was in line next to a guy who had lived in New York his entire life, like full-time New Yorker and moved out here with his wife for her job and was getting his license for the first time. He had never driven. Like, he was like, it's so crazy to be in your late 40s and need to learn how to drive. I have a car for the first time.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Did I tell you that I had like a change of address that was happening since the last time that I applied. Chicago, you have to do this like city sticker thing for where you park your car. And I went to, I went online to like submit a change of address and you submit it and they say, hey, it can be like six weeks of processing time to submit this. You can just go in person and get it done day of. And my renewal was coming up in the month. And I was like, motherfucker. So then I just went out to the, you know, it was.
Starting point is 00:32:32 not the DMV, but the secretary of state office or whatever. And I stood in line for like 30 minutes. And as I got to the very front of the line, it was next to be called. I got an email from my phone that was like, your change of address has gone through. You can, and this was the same day. They're like, you can do it online. So while I'm waiting for them to call me, I'm like, whoever gets there first, I apply online and then get it and like it goes through.
Starting point is 00:32:52 But then I'm at the front of the line. And I just left. I just like walked out because I didn't need to do it anymore. But I didn't, I felt like I should say something to the line because it looked crazy to wait in line for 30 minutes and get to the front and it'd be like, nah, not worth it. But I didn't say anything. And then I thought, nobody actually cares.
Starting point is 00:33:09 But I, it would be better if I turned around and explained that I'm actually okay. Nothing's wrong. I'm just leaving the line because I'm done. There are a million of these, but I'm just going to do a couple more before we go on to our break. Sharp tapping action. Sharp tapping action.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Taping action. Sharp to move that drum? No, it's bus. How close is this to bus? Move that. Percuss, percuss. Percuss, percuss. Percuss, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I like to see a scene, actually. And then we'll go on break. You two are in the percussion section of a high school orchestra. And Adel, you are kind of bored and you're trying to be chatty with JPC who's just trying to keep time. Oh, man. Man, I hate drumming, right? Hey, hey, man, I'm sorry. If I miss another symbol crash, it's like the most obvious and evident thing in the band.
Starting point is 00:34:11 So I just don't talk to me because I can't miss another symbol crash. Right, right, right. Bada, ba-da-da-ba-ba-2. Don't sing a different beat. Hey, man, don't sing a different beat because I, two, three, four. Crash! Okay. Crash!
Starting point is 00:34:27 It's just a little crash. Remember that song? No. It's just a little crush. What era? Don't talk to me, Mick. Come on, man. Yeah, sorry.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Sorry. It's awesome that you can drum and talk, but I'm... Two, four, six. Don't count either. You're counting to be counting to the... Five, six, seven, eight. Oh, boy. Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah? Do you mind if I crash at your place tonight? Don't say crash, okay? What? We could watch the lost symbol. Dude, I only have one more crash in this song. Everyone will know if I miss it. So please don't talk about symbols or crashing or...
Starting point is 00:35:08 Sorry. Hey, do you think at college will be free mason's? Free masons? I don't... Why would we? Boy, what is going on back there? Josh is talking and I'm trying to do my snare. Josh.
Starting point is 00:35:27 I was only talking to respond to what Ed was saying to me. I swear to... God, I'll move you to the flute section. I swear to God. Oh, I don't know how to play a flute. It's a completely different skill set. Oh, you missed the crash. Well, the band teacher was talking to me. The whole audience is booing. Wow, I've never heard such distaste. Josh, wake up, wake up, wake up. You were having a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Oh, I had an accident. About last night, probably, because you fucked up that band concert, huh? That happened? Yeah, that happened last night. You probably dreamed about it. I also peed the bed. Well, flute it is. Oh, man, and I'm sleeping with the bandleader and I'm still on flute? Wait, no, no, you're not sleeping with the bandleader.
Starting point is 00:36:17 Well, you're not the, no. No. I was going to be like a mom or something waking you up. Why are you in bed with me? I'm sitting on your bed waking you up. Sir, can you look into my flashlight again? It feels like you think you're somewhere else. No, no.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Step-mom and a band just like a band later with skinflip. Fits, fits and starts. These raccoons look good as hell. See, a hush-a-thee! Origin story. Two raccoons on symbols? Okay, let's go to break. Adel, JPC, you may have noticed my new diamond and emerald necklace.
Starting point is 00:37:04 I bought it with the money. I saved using Rocket Money. Whoa. Mm-hmm. I realized I was spending like $800 a year on unwanted apps and subscriptions. And then turns out I don't need to do that. Rocket Money canceled them for me. Okay, Aaron, but this, I mean, this necklace looks really expensive.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitor your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings. Okay, I'm seeing a receipt. Adel in the trash can't hear it. Don't think Eric, grab your hand. She spent a lot. She spit a lot on this necklace. The app consolidates checking savings, loans, and investments into a single dashboard to give a user a clear view of their financial picture. I've been using rocket money for years way before they were ever a sponsor of Hey Riddle Riddell. And I love how clear their communication is. If there's a big spend on my card, it will let me know right away.
Starting point is 00:38:03 and it will also let me know what upcoming bills I have to pay. And I'll even negotiate lower bills for you. What a dream. And for someone like me who hemorrhages money, Rocket Money can help set budgets and goals. I get personalized insights in regular reports. And I can receive real time, alerts for large transactions, upcoming bills, refunds, and low balances.
Starting point is 00:38:23 Yeah, so I'm looking at Aaron's Rocket Money right now. And she has a goal for a new diamond necklace. Aaron, this is too many zeros. Aaron, this is too many zeros. Like 18 zeros. What's wrong? Well, let Rocket Money help you. reach your financial goals faster, join rocketmoney.com slash riddle. That's rocketmoney.com slash riddle.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Rocketemone.com slash riddle. I have to be honest with you guys. This is not a real diamond necklace. It's a bunch of bugs I convinced to be in a diamond formation. It still costs $100,000. Pretty good. Adel, I mean, you know this. Managing a small business is difficult, right? Mm-hmm. I mean, it's just. Yeah, I have, um, yeah, I have, I have, cat pies, which is my food truck where my cats make pies that I sell. And it's a real, it can be a real headache to have a small business. Yeah. And I, I seem to recall that the health inspector refused to issue it a rating because he refused to acknowledge that it was a food restaurant. Yeah, we've had some, there's been some red tape with, with the animals serving the food,
Starting point is 00:39:24 but we're working on it. We're working on it. Well, again, managing a small business can be hard. You've got to juggle multiple disconnected apps to manage your business finances. You have to be, anxious about taxes. You might be behind on your books. You're always chasing receipts and keeping up with client invoices. And sometimes you accidentally hire a construction company to bury one of your hosts into
Starting point is 00:39:45 a big pile of sand. Completely unintentional. You meant to do something else. And that could be about any podcast co-host. And yeah, I'm trying not to make this about me. It's not a cry for, you know, attention here. But it's just the reality of owning a small business. But found
Starting point is 00:40:01 has eliminated the clutter by giving you one platform that handles it all, banking, bookkeeping, invoices, and taxes, no more paying for multiple subscriptions in dealing with clunky, outdated apps. I got to tell you, this bulldozer company, their app is trash. Well, I know that Found makes it easy to regain control of your business finances so you can get back to doing what you love, which is solving riddles, and Found helps you find your buried co-hosts. Yeah, I don't know if it'll exactly do that, But it does identify the tasks that create the most hassle for small businesses, things like categorizing expenses, preparing for taxes, managing invoices, budgeting,
Starting point is 00:40:40 and they build an app that does it all directly from your business checking account. So you have time to vet potential bulldozer companies before you even hire them to bury one of your co-house and a big pile of there. One thing that I love about found is that it automatically tracks expenses, which means that I don't have to carve out time every week for importing expenses, you know, to go through my purchases, to make sure everything is accounted for. And again, I got purchase orders from all kinds of construction companies with all kinds of bold officers found. Makes it easy to see which one buried my friend Aaron alive in the sand. Yep. And don't take it from us. Take it from the electromagnetic recording that we took 8 feet underground of Aaron saying this.

That's weird. I've always worn this. Oh, oh, oh. Hey, listen, just so you know, Aaron Keefe is off. in Bermuda with Joshua Jackson, they got married.

Starting point is 00:43:15 actually cold. You know, that's the kind of stuff I buy for myself and gift to people around the world. Yeah, see, I mean, I love quince because each piece is made from premium materials by trusted factories that meet rigorous standards for craftsmanship and ethical production. Plus, by cutting up middlemen and traditional markups, quince delivers the same quality as luxury brands at a fraction of the price. But, Santa, it seems like you're giving all this quince away, but no one's kind of giving quince to you.

But with Huell, it's so much better because they have a new chocolate peanut butter
Starting point is 00:46:09 flavor that is honestly so good. I really enjoy it. And I like Huell because I wake up, I want to say two to three hours before anyone else in my house. And it's nice to have a quick breakfast that doesn't make any noise, so I don't have to worry about waking anyone else up, and then I can get a quick workout in. It's a win-win with Hewell. Yeah, Aaron Kuhle is great. And I've also been loving Kuel's new canned super greens drink, too.

Starting point is 00:47:23 Everyone be cool. We were counting. I was teaching my kid to play hide-and-seek the other day and I was like, okay, so they have like a stuffed whale rocking chair thing and I was like, hold on to your stuffed well rocking chair, close your eyes and count to 10 and then come find me. But what they were doing was doing that, touching the stuffed well, rocking chair, closing their eyes, going one, ten,
Starting point is 00:47:45 and then turning around with their eyes closed and running through the house. And I was like, no. You have, you have failed every part of this. Instead of playing hide-and-seek, I've taught you a horrible, dangerous game where you run with your eyes close. You don't hide and seek. So closing their eyes, I assume they think they're hiding and then running around, they think they're seeking. Exactly. Should be hide or seek.
Starting point is 00:48:11 I remember playing hide-and-seek and doing the old one, two, skip a few, 99-100, you know, thing, where you like, instead of a count down a hundred, you do the one-two-skip-a-few. But just going one, ten, I'm like, that is... Brilliant. Because I didn't say how to count the tent. I just didn't get there. I don't want a methodology. I want results, damn it. Pictures of Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Okay. Well, I haven't heard back from the committee about not having to do riddles. Okay. They haven't given you. And you submitted full dossier of pictures of Spider-Man, correct? Yeah, full dossier. Dossier. Dossier.

Starting point is 00:56:16 Well done, everybody. Okay. Does anyone care? I would like to see a scene. Uh-oh. Aaron, you are the High Council wizard. Great. JPC, you're a new wizard
Starting point is 00:56:32 and you're trying to vie for your color. Okay. The fate of the universe rests in our hands. Yes. Agreed. We must move forward with no doubt in our heart. Sorry, this is not a Q&A portion. Just everyone wants to put their hands
Starting point is 00:56:54 down. It's more of a rousing speech. Call to Arms. We normally work as individual... Sorry? And will there be a Q&A at any point? No. This is just a rousing speech for us to fight evil.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Get all the wizards together. We normally work as individuals, but today we bring our power... Sorry, what? You're looking at the program like you don't believe me. I just... I haven't been assigned a color yet, and so I can't believe that I'm going to go out to fight... You know? You assigned color.
Starting point is 00:57:24 like three months ago. Did you not fill out the paperwork? Were you just not responding? What was going on three months ago. Oh, what I got in the mail was my color? That's, okay. So, yeah, so I would, so I would change. I am Landry the lavender.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Yeah, so everyone has their sort of thing. I think the only color we have left is beige. That's not true. I am Binnie the beige. See, I still, I don't think we have any colors left. I don't think you can join us this time. Oh, no, no, no. No, I've got a staff.
Starting point is 00:57:55 I can join. No, you got to have a cut. See, this is, we talk about this all the time. Easy. Can I just do a shade? Can I just be like crimson? I know we got Rarney the Red over there. Can I just be, can I do crimson?
Starting point is 00:58:07 You cannot. Okay, what is Riding the Red? I have Crimson. What? You already have crimson? Yeah, we have like, look around, man. There's like 2,000 colors in here. That's crimson.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Your colorblind. Excuse me, Henri the off-light. I'd like to say something. Of course, yeah. Henri, you're the best of us, please. Oh, that's too kind. I simply must not accept that, but thank you for saying. Oh, we love you.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Yeah, we love you, Henry. Thank you so much. Amory, you're the best. Are we sure we're not confusing Henri with me, Enoch the eggshell? Boo! We're so close. Boo!
Starting point is 00:58:47 I'm getting booed? I think we may have a glut of wizards. It feels like if I'm looking around the room and doing some quick math, it seems like we have about 3,800 wizards for every color of the bare paint system. I don't think
Starting point is 00:59:03 we have too many. There can never be too many. Right? Because... Hey, here's an idea. Since I don't have a color, what if I'm the first wizard who does shape? Shape, shape, shape, shape, shape, shape, shape, shape. What if I'm like an octagon wizard, you know? No, that's confusing.
Starting point is 00:59:20 For sure. Strike that. Larry is the lime green here? Hi, Lel. Larry. Shapes might be fun. Larry, get the fuck out of here. Yeah, now that makes sense. Brad Summer, we cared so much for you.
Starting point is 00:59:33 And you know what? You've sort of lost your luster. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It zooms in on his face like fall in love again and again. Larry, the lime green. Our new nemesis. Hey, guys, you know what?
Starting point is 00:59:47 Let's just all go back to working alone. We tried to organize as wizards. I just don't care anymore. I just don't care anymore. Oh, come on, Saraman. Like, you care? You're still good at what you do? No, no.
Starting point is 01:00:01 I just, to be honest, I was going to come here and sort of siphon off all your powers and sort of just like take over, but I just don't have it in me anymore. Aw. But it was nice seeing, you guys. Well, I guess if Saramon, the white's taking off, does that mean white is open?
Starting point is 01:00:22 Like, could I? I think we should retire white. Are you fucking kidding me? NBA players. Like retire a number. Let's retire white. Yeah, we all agree. We're trying to retire.
Starting point is 01:00:33 They already retired Jordan the 33. The great wizard of a doll. 34? 23. 26. It doesn't matter. The sheriff of the small town of Twin Peaks who spends his free time working on his novella breakfast at Tiffany's.

We have a voicemail theme. Pretty little show where riddles roan, you can reach our host with your mobile phone.
Starting point is 01:08:10 So leave a message when you hear that tone. Just called 805 riddle one. Wow. Cool. That was wonderful. That was from Sophie. That one was titled Voice Meals and Dragons. And if you've not listened to Gumshoes and Dragons, that's a little homage to the theme song that Arnie Parrot wrote for Gumshoes and Dragons.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Thank you so much, Sophie. Oh, and please, if you have a voicemail theme to submit, please do it. Send it to us. You will probably hear it on the show because I think we only have a few more. H.R.R. Podcast at gmail.com, 30 seconds or less. Hey, this is Amanda. Thanks for being the go-to bisexual podcast. My husband and I have some friends who have never been into escape room.
Starting point is 01:08:48 We love escape rooms. What's a go-to good Chicago area escape room to take some newbies to? Thanks a lot. Have a good day. Okay, honored. I had no idea. Did anyone go to the official bisexual podcast award ceremony? I didn't go. I did. Bipoddle. I was not invited. I would have looked so hot at that. I would have tried to look so hot at that. Aaron, you won best. I want to say, careful. You won best. Great. Period. Oh, you might know best. Period. Jesus. What an award. I would say, and this is a chain, so I guess it depends on how you feel about chains, but there's a chain called the Escape Room.
Starting point is 01:09:36 They have a location in Chicago on, I want to say, Ohio streets downtown, right across from Italy. And I feel like they have the best rooms in terms of like high quality sort of layout and mechanisms and everything works and everything looks really nice. And I feel like specifically at the escape room, the cabin in the woods game and the museum art heist would be two really good ones, I think, for like beginners or newer folk. I love that. I also think that like, and that'll correct me if I'm wrong on this, but do you think you can kind of roll the dice on an escape room and like still have a pretty good experience? Or do you think that there's like a high ceiling, you know, and steep drop off? for escape rooms. I feel like any,
Starting point is 01:10:29 I think, I think you're right where it depends on your crew. Like if you're having fun, the room will be fun. But I have been, there's been maybe like two or three I've experienced in Chicago where it's like, they'll step in and be like,
Starting point is 01:10:42 oh, this is, this remote thing is supposed to work, but it's broken right now. So just pretend that this dropped out of the wall. And then they give you like a slip of paper and you're like, I wish I would have experienced it dropping out of the wall.
Starting point is 01:10:53 So there is like a weird, you know, and it's, people are trying so no fault to them but sometimes it can ruin the magic of it yeah that's that's true i i do hate it when you like do a thing or get an experience and they're like this part of it is broken and we'd have to close it down to fix it and so we're not going to do that you just pretend that a 10 foot robotic mouse came out of this sewer and handed it's like well i'd rather see the 10 foot robotic mouse i guess if i'm paying 45 dollars a person um um adle anything to plug
Starting point is 01:11:25 promote. Yes. What do I have to plug or promote? I would plug or promote Hello from the Magic Tavern, gum shoes and dragons, and the Word Association, all podcasts I think that you should check out. Aaron, do you have anything to plug or promote? I don't.
Starting point is 01:11:48 JPC. Oh, my God, you're never going to believe this. I don't either. And this has nothing to do with us recording a little bit ahead so that we can get ahead for the new year. I know exactly what's going on. I know what I'm up to. I know what the world's up to. So don't read into the fact that I have nothing to plug or promote.
