Starting point is 00:00:01 This is a headgum podcast. Hey, everybody, and welcome back to the $8 tier review crew. That is right. Based on your votes, this month we reviewed the 1981 porno, Sherlock Bones, and the Adventure of the Engineers Cock. So, Adel, Aaron. Some of us reviewed it several times. I got to say, I, you know, the 80s? that was the time for porn parodies.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Tell me why. Tell me why. I think it was the lighting. It was before the hulification came along and turned all of the color of the world down, you know, to the level that we're at now. But the 80s, man, oh, they knew how to light a porn now. Let's list some more that we didn't review.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah. Oh, so the other options on the poll? Yeah, we didn't review Robocock. We all watched it. And we thought, there's not enough here. People hate when we review something so good that there's just not enough there. Missionary Impossible. Yeah, from 81.
Starting point is 00:01:53 Shut up. Shut up. I did it, didn't I? I followed the rules. I did it, didn't I? Did you? Did you? All the rules.
Starting point is 00:02:02 so young she can't possibly fathom a time before Mission Impossible one with Tom Cruise Philipsymoor Haupacanee Apocca nips now Apocca nips now That was out by 1980 Right? Yeah sure Apocan nips now
Starting point is 00:02:19 I love the smell of nips in the morning Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Cock Oh no Butch cockadey In the Cock Cassidy We got to do it a bunch.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Oh, you know what Casey says, Aaron, Mission Impossible? The show was in the 60s. Oh, so everybody shut up for a moment. We were talking about the 80s, so that worked out. That was great. Weird window. Okay, what would that be? Yeah, rear window.
Starting point is 00:02:50 That works. You're right. It's just a one and done. I have something to say. This is actually a big joke on you guys because this isn't even a reviewer episode. I made you guys watch those 80s pornoes. for absolutely nothing. Well, not for nothing.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Not for nothing. The bass guitar was incredible. I learned so much about the bass guitar. About the bass guitar. This is just an episode of Hey, Riddle, Riddle the podcast. I'm JPC. I'm out of five. And I'm Sherlock Bones and myself.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Aaron Keith. I'm going to solve all the riddles and puzzles today. Is there a better one than Sherlock Bones for a porn parody of Sherlock Holmes? I don't know. Sherlock Bones and Wet Son. And watch some? Watch some. Probably Shirkcock.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Could it be like Shirkcock homes and watch some? You know? I studied in two of the pink. What else? Yeah. The Hounds of Batskerville. Shurhawkshireville. The Hounds of Butserville.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I don't know that is. It's one of my worst ever. Pretty incredible. Have you guys ever read a Sherlock Holmes book? I read The Hounds of Baskerville in 8th grade. I remember having to read, like, a section of it for school, but I've never read a book. I don't know. I don't think I ever read any Sherlock Holmes because they're from like the, like early 19th century, right?
Starting point is 00:04:15 Or I guess late 19th century. I think, yeah, early 1900s, maybe. Yeah. I remember reading in the same school year, we read Hounds of Baskerville, and I was like, this is fine. And then we read Mask of the Red Death, I think, which is a biodegrader. I thought that was incredible and I thought Hansa Baskerville was fine. Doggy style day afternoon. Twelve anal men.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Doggy style day afternoon delight. We play that game where we just keep adding to it. I don't know. Back of the taxi driver. I haven't. I haven't investigated it, but I don't know are the, if the Sherlock Holmes books are books where you as the reader can get the mystery
Starting point is 00:05:06 or if Sherlock Holmes is like I know the mystery because of secret information that you know I haven't given you yet type of thing where he's like I intuited this but you the humble reader did not yeah I feel like there is it is a little tricky
Starting point is 00:05:22 in terms of like they hold their cards close to the chest from what I remember but this is eighth grade so yeah it's the crapshoot you remember the title from eighth grade to me that's still pretty impressive. Well, I think Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman gave a little bit of a help.
Starting point is 00:05:38 They kind of gave you the bump sale of that one for later in life. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to think of one for Jaws. Hey, Aaron. Yep, what's up? Hey, Adel. Sweetie. To kiss a mockingbird and it's sort of like romantic facts.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Yeah, let's make a more romantic and less horny. More romantic and less horny. 12 kissing men. Kissing Impossible. 12 angry kisses. Talk to hate after kiss. Kiss fellas. Kiss fellas.
Starting point is 00:06:13 God kisser. What if you watched a porn barity called Kiss fellas? It's like, it's like two steps below soft corner. You guys are sort of like henchmen in Godfellas. You're in that universe. and you guys are in a car on a job. You're about to, like, show someone why they messed with the wrong guys.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And one of you is going to admit that you're in love with the other one. I call Joe Pesci one. I'm the Joe Pesci one. Okay. But are we in the movie Godfellas? No, you're in good fellas. We'll have you been good fellas.
Starting point is 00:06:53 And you are... We're in good fellas. We're just in love. Okay. So I took him to the desert And I said, start digging. Classic. Classic move. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Did he do it? He did it. They're never going to find him. Oh, I got so many holes in the desert, no one's going to find him. I can never get him to dig in the desert because they know, you know. Yeah, yeah. They're like, I don't think I'm like doing sewer pipes out here. I think I'm probably digging my own grave, right?
Starting point is 00:07:21 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Fellas, if you're going to kill me, just kill me. Oh, yeah. Start digging. Yeah. Well, not in the car. Hold on, not in the car.

Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah, I guess. We could do. It's probably better than what we were planning on doing. Pulp friction. Okay. Pulp friction sounds... That's not good. All right.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Yeah. Okay. Gone with the winded after sex. Aaron, get on top, sweetie. This is just lower than spital tap. Right? Okay, we really ran out. All right, now I'm convinced we ran out.

Starting point is 00:09:49 Okay. JPC just came up with the best one. And now we're done with them and he did the best one. I'm miserable over here. asking how is everyone 10 minutes into a group conversation in 2026 in late March of 2020 is a horror crime that is a war crime to do to people yep okay here's a riddle I am constantly on the move and yet always at home what am I Roomba snail snail crab crab it's a snail oh that makes more sense of what I said What I said
Starting point is 00:10:27 And her and I do have to have a quick Side conversation with JPC Of course I'll see you guys later Do you see you guys later? DPC Do you think crabs are kind of like snails Where they can get out of their shells? I mean we can take it by their shells of course
Starting point is 00:10:41 I think I bet they're talking about me I bet by users are burning Hold on now I really do think that they are Do hermit crabs find different shells? Now okay Now hermit crabs can find out of the shells
Starting point is 00:10:55 Oh, okay. Now I get what you were saying, and I do sound insane. I'm starting to think that they're not talking about it because they're smiling. That's like saying like a lobster takes off a shell and like changes. Yeah. Little like, what do you do? They put they put little starfish pasties around over. Yeah. Or clamshell pasties.
Starting point is 00:11:13 That's like saying like as dogs grow older, they like crawl into different dog hair. Sort of edgean their way in. Yes, it is a snail and I would like to see a scene. Hey guys Oh, Erin, I'm so sorry I forgot to let me open the door Sorry about that You're trying to squeeze through the mail slot
Starting point is 00:11:33 No, that's fine I'm fine, I peed outside I did my business I'm ready to come back in You seem stuck in the mail slot Can I can someone just Either pulled me from the front Or push me from the back
Starting point is 00:11:44 Casey Clippet All that long Is it even fun anymore Clip that all Yeah for me GBC, aren't you numb? Aren't you numb at this point?
Starting point is 00:11:56 It's actually, Aaron, it's like stabbing myself with a little needle. It's the only thing. I don't love the way it makes me feel, but just to feel. Just to feel it all. All right. I'm ready for my scene. Snail makes me think, of course, of snail mail. Not the artist, but the post person.
Starting point is 00:12:15 You're right. So I do want to see a scene where JPC will have you be a postman. Aaron, you are someone who owns a home. And JPC, you're dropping off the mail. And Aaron, you've, nowadays, it's just all junk mail. So you're having sort of a hard conversation with your mailman about not wanting what he's giving out. Here's what I won't do at all. I won't play Post Malone, but only because I don't know how to do it.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I don't know what he sounds like. But it was all I was thinking about. But I will instead do the scene that you describe. I want to say a song is like, I know Sunflower. You my Sunflower. I know that Spider-Man one. But I think he's done like a bunch of countries since then. That's the same what I was saying.
Starting point is 00:12:56 All right. So instead, I'll be a post man who is delivering the mail to Aaron and the lay on his what? Oh, my God. He truly wasn't listening. No, I was, but then I talked about Post-Below too much. You're bringing me mail that I don't want. I feel like nowadays, all mail is junk mail. So it's just Aaron kind of trying to shut this down.
Starting point is 00:13:17 Unfortunately, this is the only thing keeping the postal industry alive because the only people that think is junk mail. Mailing. my mail slot. Shut. Oh. Federal crime. No. No, it's a federal crime.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Do you live here? Yes, this is my house. Never mind. Turn around. Technically, I hate to be this guy, but that is property of the federal government. That's actually not, it's at your property, even though it's on your house.
Starting point is 00:13:45 It's my door. You're addicted to giving me nonsense mail. You have a problem, man. You can call the companies and request that they stop sending you the mail. But I, if it comes, I have to deliver it. I tried that and now they send me text blasts every day. I wake up in the morning and I think I've gotten a text from a loved one.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I get zero text from loved ones. And it's like, hey, have you tried this coupon code for some bullshit? There's a service that you can get that will remove all of those texts from your phone. And instead, what they'll do is they'll put it all in a letter and then they'll mail you that letter. every day. So it's like instead of getting the text, you can just get it all via the mail. If you want that service. I don't want that service. Okay. That's my company. I'm trying to start. I have a side gig. It's like everybody has to have a side hustle. My side hustle is taking
Starting point is 00:14:39 people's text messages and turning them into mail. Okay. Kind of helps my main hustle too. I'm not going to lie. Uh, you know, one hand feed and the other hand. Hey brother. I'm trying. One hand feeding, both hands feeding my mouth. Chips. Are you familiar? Have you ever eaten chips with both hands? Please don't sell me on something. I'm trying to have a human moment with you. Please stop giving me a now. Now I'm thinking about a product that's a bag big enough that when you open it, you can get both hands inside and eat chips with both hands. Hey. Why chip bags? You know what chipbacks are longer than they're like taller than they all are wide? What if instead it was a chip bag on its side with like a zip lock thing?
Starting point is 00:15:16 Brother, I got good tips for you. What's that? My name's Mr. Wonderful. I'm from Shark Tank. Would you like to come on the show So we can hunt you for sport Oh my God I would love to sell you a shark tank I have an idea For a tank Although wait
Starting point is 00:15:36 DPC how Sell me a shark tank Sell me a shark tank I truly don't want to sell you a shark tank But I will say Because you don't have access to one I know A zoo
Starting point is 00:15:51 in Brookfield, Illinois that has an excellent shark tank. Now, Lincoln Park Zoo? Well, it's the Brookfield Zoo in Lincoln Park. Yes. What's funny is I, the Lincoln Park Zoo is the free zoo in Chicago. And the Lincoln Park Zoo is a pretty good zoo. I've heard of Brookfield is better. Brookfield is better.
Starting point is 00:16:12 But I've been to Brookfield way more than I've been to the free one in Lincoln Park. I did the thing where I got myself a yearly membership to the zoo. And then every time I'm not going to the zoo, I'm losing money, basically. I would say San Diego, Columbus, and St. Louis have the three best zoos I've ever been. I've been to San Diego. I've been to Columbus. What was the third one? St. Louis?
Starting point is 00:16:39 No, never been to St. Louis. I've never been to Columbus. What's going on over there in Columbus? I think Jack Hanna just set up a really nice foundation there. That makes sense. That makes sense. He came out of the Columbus Zoo, I believe. And so I think he just really, it drew a lot of people, which boosted revenues,
Starting point is 00:16:57 which allowed them to sort of expand and have just really nice programs and everything. So, yeah. Okay. It's very nice to us. Aaron, have you ever been to a zoo? I feel like I'm in one right now. J.B.Z, what we're going to say? I would say that the, I don't know, I don't think it's like a zoo, but there's that, that park in Disney,
Starting point is 00:17:19 that Animal Kingdom is what it. called the Disney Park where I think they also have animals. Like a safari thing, yeah. Yeah, but they also have like Avatar World. But I think I think that all zoos should also have to include like some portion that's devoted to the Navi. Like if you're like a little zoo. Or any fantasy IP.
Starting point is 00:17:38 I would like it if it was exclusively the Navi like it was like, hey, like we also believe in the conservation of the Navi people. We don't have a live Navi here because it would be unethical. You're going to convince an entire generation that the Navi are real. I think it would be okay to do. It would be. I remember going on maybe five or six years ago, we went on the safari animal planet, animal kingdom.
Starting point is 00:18:04 And it was like. Animal planet is Bruce Willis and Servester Stallone's failed restaurant, right? It's a bunch of animals for movies. A gorilla serving you martinis. But I remember being on the safari. I was like, oh, this is, this feels dangerous. Like it feels like too open air or something for Disney. It feels way safe, and it felt like this was like a bit of a risk.
Starting point is 00:18:24 But it would be funny to see like hippos and rhinos, whatever. And then they're like, and here's a white boy with dreads. And no one, no one looking in the eyes. I love spider. Aaron loves spider. Spider by far the worst character of the last, I want to say, since the beginning of cinema. I would say last 600 years. I'm thinking back to some like Shakespeare plays.
Starting point is 00:18:47 I'm thinking back to like Moliere. Yeah, yeah. Hold on. I'm thinking back to tartuff. I'm thinking we're back, tartuff. Yeah, I think we're back to tartuff. Johnwick, Johnwick, talking theater. Tartooth pulling his collar, looking up Spider.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Yee. What character have we here? Pyrindello's like six characters in search of an author, but not this guy, right? Spider was the lead of the newest avatar. The lead. Dante making a new circle outside of all those other circles being like, I got a new one for you. Brecht.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Bert told Brecht, also making a church. I'll circle right off chalk. Yeah. The funniest part about Spider being the lead of that Avatar movie is that he was like a big part of the first one. And everyone was like, okay. And James Camber was like, no, I'm going to make you love Spider. I'm doubling the fuck down. I went to the bathroom and to get a hot dog when I was watching the new Avatar.
Starting point is 00:19:46 And I came back to... You went to the bathroom to get a hot dog? I went to the bathroom and to get a hot dog. And I was gone so long. And it came back to my seat. And Riley leaned over to tell me what I had missed. And I went, I don't care. Hot dogs.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It's like, oh, yeah, I didn't miss anything. Did Aaron say that she went to the bathroom to get a hot dog? Casey, don't answer that question. Let's check the tape. You don't have to answer a question without your lawyer present. If it's on the tape, I want a clip of it because I'll need it for later, obviously. I do like that our podcast is slowly becoming the NFL. We got to review it.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Yep. We got a review. It's fucking boring to watch it. It's people just hurting themselves. Yep. I do feel like that kid who plays Spider. It's a commercial suck. I feel like the kid who played Spider probably went to like an acting coach.
Starting point is 00:20:39 And they're like, oh, dear boy, what brings you into acting school? And he's like, well, I just wrapped three Avatar movies. And he's like, oh, dear boy, you should have come before the movies. James Cameron told me not to. Too far to the spider of it all. But it's one of the situations, it's actually a hard situation because a lot of times when I see like an actor
Starting point is 00:20:58 in a movie who's absolutely whiffed, I'm like, that's partially on the actor. But that one, it's pretty easy to imagine that that guy, it's not really his fault because they're like, what are you acting against? You're acting against like a person covered in tennis balls in a green screen.
Starting point is 00:21:14 I don't think they're covered in tennis. Hey, Bob Hoskins did it. If Bob Hoskins can do it. But Bob Hoskins was. an adult. He wasn't a child, right? I think James Cameron's, I think he saw into the Spider-Verse, and he was like, that gives me an idea. Yes, yes. And I think he wanted to call Avatar 3, Avatar 3 into the Spider-Verse. Beyond the Spider-Verse. Avatar 3, Beyond the Spider-Verse. What if Miles Morales and Spider-from Avatar did a buddy cop movie?
Starting point is 00:21:46 Hold on, I can talk slower. I'm writing this down. Beyond the Spider-Verse is coming out in 2027, which means it hasn't finished like principal animation, I imagine, which means that they still have a chance to put Spider-in as a cameo from an alternate universe where he is the Spider-Man of that universe. It's like in across the Spider-Verse where Miles Morales is on whatever planet or dimension, and there's just, it's all animated Spider-Man, and then there's just actual Donald Glover in the flesh in a cage. Donald Glover's been in so many goddamn Spider-Man movies. It's crazy. But it's funny, it's not even, he's just. Yeah, it's just him.
Starting point is 00:22:22 It's him with real flesh. Like, it's very funny. All right, let's do another riddle here. Yes. What has a stem, but no roots? A brain. Wow. Yes, a brain.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Is it, would it be like a dame? Don't you call a dame's getaway sticks, stems? Look at the getaway sticks. Yeah, if you want to slap in the mouth. From Jenny Dench. Well, obviously, yes, I want a slap in the mouth. That's why I wore this big hat, this trench coat. Step on my neck, magazine.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You guys, I went to a bachelorette party. Congratulations. For my sweet friend and very talented comedian, George Elrod. And there was a moment where I was sitting at a bar with Elizabeth Andrews and Shelby Plummer, my friend. and they started giggling and I was like, what are you guys giggling about? And they're like, there is a man with the craziest hat in our eyesight.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Like, Aaron, you have to look. And I have my back to this man. And I look behind me to my left and I immediately see the craziest biggest hat I've ever seen on a man. And then I came back to center and I looked over my right. And they were dying.
Starting point is 00:23:42 and they were like, did you think you were going to see a crazier hat on the other side? Like, I had hope in my heart that maybe it wasn't him. That wasn't that guy. It was a, that just happens to be a different crazy hat. Was he with anyone, Aaron? He was talking to a woman, at a woman. So I need you to describe this hat. Is this like a Farrell Elmer Fudt situation?
Starting point is 00:24:05 You know what? Like, you just know that guy like was in Austin or something shopping for hats. Yeah. And he was like, do you think I can, I can. pull off a hat and the person at the habadashry was like, you look awesome in this. And he was like going for a whole new vibe. It felt like early
Starting point is 00:24:20 2000s indie singer. Like Jason Maraz. Where was this here in? Where was this? This was in San Francisco. San Francisco. I was just there again. Huge hat, so disproportionate to be wearing it inside.
Starting point is 00:24:36 This tiny white man with this huge hat. Are you familiar with And I can't remember if the name of the book is like the game, but it's about the pickup artist mystery. Are you familiar with the pickup artist mystery? No. This is not even ringing about. This is where nagging comes from, right?
Starting point is 00:24:53 Naging and peacocking. What's peacocking? Well, peacocking is this. 699 a month? No, peacocking. That's more specific than that. It's when you wear a big, bold hat, like a crazy choice hat so that people will have a reaction to the hat. And then you can, like, start a conversation because you're wearing a big...
Starting point is 00:25:13 He read that book. I have never in my life encountered a person doing that because I feel like this was like in the early 2000s that this was like a thing. But this is, that's crazy. That's you, you and dare I say, I don't know where the man mystery is still operating, but you may have run into mystery in the wild. I, you know, now that you're saying this, I had this exact thing happen. That was 100% what it was. I, the fact that I, which was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt,
Starting point is 00:25:45 I was like expecting a crazy like chef's hat behind my right shoulder or something. I'm at a too situation. Casey posted a picture of mystery in the, in the chat. That's, um, yeah, this is, yeah, this is, it's not even just the hat. It's like his whole wardrobe, the jacket, the eyeliner, the fingernails, the rings.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Like it's the peacocking. Yeah. To describe this picture of mystery that Casey sent, it's as if Jamiroquai was dipped in Limp Biscuit. Does that make sense? That's poetry. It's hard to dip something in Lip Biscuit, but it works. It works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:26 If there's a podcast I really enjoy called If Books Could Kill or if Books could kill. But they review like an airport best help or bestsellers. airport bestsellers. A lot of them are self-help. But they reviewed that. There's an episode that they did where they reviewed, whatever that book is called. I think it's the pickup artist or something like that. The one that mystery is in, and it's about a guy who like embedded himself in this like pickup culture and like it's, it's fascinating, absolutely fascinating. It's a terrible, terrible thing, but absolutely fascinating, nonetheless. What a weird time that early 2000s were. And it seems like some people out there still doing it. The fact that he was talking at a woman like seals
Starting point is 00:27:06 the deal for me. Like, that says everything that I need to know about that. Do you think do you think 90s musician Seal ever used that pickup line? Let's seal the deal. And then he kind of winks? I would if I were him. If I'm being honest. I would say, I don't
Starting point is 00:27:22 even know that he would need the wink, honestly. Yeah, that's good. He's a man. Great voice. What has a stem, but no root? Oh, my God. We were in the middle of a riddle. Is it like a rose? Roses have stems? everyone is great with brains have scenes that's the seal talking right now
Starting point is 00:27:39 okay um not a rose stem uh what has a stem but no what is it doesn't stem stand for like science technology engineering and math or something like that
Starting point is 00:27:52 yeah it does okay so is it that in this row fuck so is it that um you guys are on the right track with like brain and and rose um
Starting point is 00:28:03 a stem um a vase has a or wine glass? That's, oh, what's a wine glass? Oh, my goodness. I would like to see a scene.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Okay. JPC, you and I will be a couple at a fancy, like, Napa Valley wine tasting. And we don't, we have umbrage with the glasses,
Starting point is 00:28:27 so we're going to complain to Adel about the type of glasses our wine has been served in. Oh, excuse me, before you pour, because I could see you are reaching for the bottle for the next port. I believe that my partner and I maybe receive the...
Starting point is 00:28:50 This is awkward to say. The incorrect wine glasses for the tasting event. Oh, no, we've hand-selected these glasses to accentuate and bring out the fruits and flavors of our wines. This is a good cop-s situation. You don't want me to start complaining. These look like olive garden glasses. Did you say good cup, bad cup?
Starting point is 00:29:12 Did I? And my wife is correct. These are more in the bad cup variety. And when she says olive garden glasses, these are plastic olive garden kids cups with, it looks like kind of projections of maps of Italy on them and like breadsticks. And they're plastic.

Who said I got drunk and fell backwards into a large shelf that I stupidly put all the glasses on?

Starting point is 00:44:19 No. I was just bringing up Spider-Man. Does Spider-Man have a sand film? Oh, I don't know. I've heard rumors. I've only been called Sandman a few times in my life. What's that? Were you on like a pickup basketball team?
Starting point is 00:44:33 Like that's like, who called you Sandman? Oh, lots of people over the years. Because Spider-Man and his villains occupy such a dominant place in our pop culture, especially Thomas Hayden Church's Sandman. Yeah. He's referenced at the Oscars every year, right? He's a He's in a meme culture, isn't there?
Starting point is 00:44:52 Every year. Yeah, the lifeblood of the zeitgeist, for sure. Thomas Hayden Church is in the new Knives Out movie. He plays a character in the Wake Up Dead Man. And his name, in the movie is very, as a lot to say about religion and the church. It takes place in a church. And his name is Thomas Hayden Church. And I exactly.
Starting point is 00:45:13 My letterbox review was like, Thomas Hayden Church? More like Thomas Hayton Church. So many likes Like two at least Follow you on Letterbox Now before I forget It is wild It is wild that the two leads of

Starting point is 00:46:33 Spider-Man game That you've brought for us What else have you brought for us In your sandbox segment Today? Oh yeah I have some stuff for you This is a reprise
Starting point is 00:46:41 Of something I did a few months ago Which I called Hey Rattle Rattle based on the hit online daily word game called Rattle that I make. I have a series of, I'm going to give you a word and a clue. And in this game, you're going to change one word into a new word. And the way that works is I'm going to give you a starting word, and then I'm going to give you a clue for a word that you have to replace one letter in the original word
Starting point is 00:47:08 with this new word to get an entirely longer new word. So, for example, I didn't explain that very well, so I'm just going to give you an example. This is an example from the last big word. Yeah. Insert a small word into another word to get a bigger word, all of which will be clued. So last time I said, here's an example from the last time. I said, take the word row, replace one letter with a state to get a part of a salad. And in that case, you eventually figured out you had to get rid of the W and row,
Starting point is 00:47:38 replace it with the state main, and you get Romain, which is a part of a salad. Got it. Got it. Make sense? Got it. We should also say R-A-D-D-L-E.com. No, part of my. Don't go there.
Starting point is 00:47:51 DotQuest. So sorry. Dot quest. Yeah. I didn't have enough money to afford the dot-com. This is this. You can go to rattle-rattle. I'll say what, you can go to rattle-rattle.
Starting point is 00:48:00 I did register that and that forward to the right place. Okay. Sounds fun. Rattle Rattle Rattle. Sounds like you're that. The hamburger. Did you guys have that commercial that was Rattle Rattle Rutter-Rottle Thunder clatter, Boom, Boom. Oh, what is that for?
Starting point is 00:48:13 That sounds so familiar. Don't worry because of car express. Yes. CarX man might be a local commercial. And you can also, if you go to my website, Amazon.Quest, I am trying my best to get you guys the stuff that you're ordering. But I just don't know where a lot of it is. And it is tougher than it looks. And I don't have a lot of it.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I got some of it. Bezos makes it look easy, but I tell you it is not. They did not nab that quest domain. You got that. Good job. All right. See, wait,
Starting point is 00:48:46 while we're talking about a rattle, are you open to a little rattle feedback? Sure. Let's do a feature request on the air.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Let's see how I respond to it. I just think there should be a place on the website somewhere where if you do the rattle and you get to $10,
Starting point is 00:49:03 and you've got it correcting, you didn't use any hints. Yeah. You should be able to message the creator and within a couple of days he should be able to say,
Starting point is 00:49:11 yeah. I'm very proud of you, JPCZ, did a very good job to do this rattle. I do. Because I have your email, but I don't want to use the email because I'm like that. And I actually have your phone number as well.
Starting point is 00:49:20 I don't want to use these like casual methods. I want like a more official channel for you to say. What about a formal letter every time you've completed it? Here's the trick. Here's the secret. It's just thinking every person who writes me, I write them back. Even about complaints. If they give me a little, a little spleen about it, something they didn't like because it's too American.
Starting point is 00:49:39 I get I get feedback that it is to American, which it is true. But there's only so much I can do about it. Shultz of our time. Yeah. This is why Nome Chomsky was all over the Epstein emails. Shit. If you write me in your name's Epstein, you're not getting a response. If you have a letter, letter vacation
Starting point is 00:49:56 email address, you're not getting a response from Sandy. Fool me once. Sandy, what if we took up correspondence where I argued with you about your letterboxed reviews? Oh, and then we published that at a blog? Yes. So just years of angry letters
Starting point is 00:50:12 of me being like, what do you mean? You didn't like the day after tomorrow. My takes are my takes on letterbox are so, uh, mild. If he doesn't have a pun,
Starting point is 00:50:22 he doesn't even do it. That's right. I spent half in the movie thinking about how, how, what pun I can insert into my letterbox review. And then I have to like, turn to my wife and be like, sorry, what happened?
Starting point is 00:50:32 I was busy in my head, thinking of bad jokes. Pauji and naughty. Paul Gia noddy, fuck it. Forget it. Fuck it. Zero stars.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Fuck it. Hold ever sucks. Ongbach, more like too long. Blah. Guys, watch Tony Jaws Unbock. RR.R. We're like ZZZ, a long movie.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Fuck. That's so good. I've got to go back. I'm going to watch the whole movie again just so I got to write that review. Sandy, next time, you got to bring in a game that's letterbox reviews. And we have to guess what movie your what movie your review. Oh, fun. And also, Sandy, I'll also say
Starting point is 00:51:07 for next time, get to the game faster, okay? Oh, no. I would kill us if I were Sandy. I would just kill us and feel nothing. Have you even explained how Rattle works? Jesus Christ, man. That is so brutal. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Sandy. Please, please.
Starting point is 00:51:25 What if the game was, I bring you a premise but I don't actually write any clues. See if I can get through the whole episode without getting to the puzzle. Sandy, you would, I'm not kidding, you would win that game without even trying. Like, it's, you would, you have to actively try to lose that game. That's the only way you lose.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Sandy, I'm loving your taste. I'm on letterbox that's the last thing I'll say and I'm loving you taste I'm agreeing with a lot of what you're doing thank you I had some hot I had some hot ratings this year we went a little against the grain on some yeah beloved hit films but we won't get into that

Starting point is 00:52:58 I hate people who say chai-tie because chai means tea. Sure. So chai is tea, but I always, I still do think of chai as like a thing that you add to tea, which is wrong. It's tea. Correct.

Starting point is 00:59:45 Yeah, from Marty Supreme. That's me talking. Yeah, that was my review of Marty Supreme. How about the word band change one letter to a symbol to get an insulting term? To a symbol to get an insulting term. Banned, insulting symbol. When you say symbol, let's see. S-Y-M-B-O-L.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Okay, S-Y, so it's not... You could say shape. So an insulting symbol would be like the middle finger. No, no. The symbol is not insulting on its own. Like a pound sign. The replaced... The fuller word is an insulting term.
Starting point is 01:00:24 An insulting term. It has... Change one letter to a four-letter symbol, and your result is an insulting term. Is it a symbol that's on a keyboard? Icon. Yeah, it's say... You might call this...
Starting point is 01:00:38 Star? No, that's five. Yes. Yes, yes. Star is symbol? Star. Star is the symbol. Replace one letter with star. I forget the original word.
Starting point is 01:00:48 I forget the original word. Band. Band. Star and. It's four shots. There's only four letters to place. You'll get there. B.
Starting point is 01:01:00 No. B.A.S. Bandstar? Bandstar. Take the N out. JPC and you have it. Not with Bansar, the one you said before that. Baster. Baster.
Starting point is 01:01:11 Baster. Wow. Wow, that hurt. That one hurt to do. Yeah, it hurt. Oh, yeah. I'm so sorry. Ah, my brain. You never would have to take that in-out. That doesn't belong there. Sandy, I have to be honest with you. It is very intimidating to see you before 3 p.m. My brain is not on, and I'm like, uh-oh, he's going to ask me real riddles. Uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, oh. It's very early for you.
Starting point is 01:01:36 It's earlier than it is. Yeah. It's like Ken Jennings making you breakfast, and you're like, like, oh no, oh no. He's going to ask, he's going to ask something. I hate when I come downstairs and Ken Jennings is making breakfast. I hate that feeling. He's like, his popular juice was. It's like, oh, no, no.
Starting point is 01:01:51 You're like, Ken Jennings, you stayed over? You have a wife. We're not going to be a thing, Ken Jennings. He's lonely. I think his family lives in Seattle. If he comes down to L.A. every few weeks of film, man. It's a lonely time. They should have all in one day.
Starting point is 01:02:07 He could probably do a two-week. worth of Jeopardy in one day, I think. I probably. Yeah, probably. Which is so funny. She said that they did, at least I think they do the whole week in one day. They may do two weeks in one day. But it's crazy because they'll finish an episode and you have like a minute. I don't know, maybe a few minutes.
Starting point is 01:02:27 So like if you are the champion, to like rest and then come back and do the next episode. Oof. It's crazy because of how like a contestant on Jeopardy, you have to be, it has to be, you have to be like so anxious and nervous and, you know, have all this energy to be on jeopardy. But everybody else who's like just has to do 30 jeopardies that day. It's just like, okay, one more jeopardy. Like, I guess I got to, you know, hold the mic or make sure the camera angle hits. It's like just a technical job where it's so anxiety inducing for the people that are on it. Super anxiety inducing. That's why I'll never apply to go on. I think you would do great. It might also be fun. I think I would, I think I would
Starting point is 01:03:05 fall apart and then I would be very embarrassed. I could go on jeopardy with no anxiety and have the time of my life getting every answer wrong and being like and calling uh ken jennings the wrong name i'd call kevin i'd call him i'll call him alex when ken was doing his run of of like as a contestant he had to you know they do the interview that he had to tell a story every time 75 times he had to tell a story and so he just started making stories up like i don't have an example but i remember him talking about this later like he said i just had to come up with stories like how i uh love an exile and say i're lunch every day. I do think that's very funny to say he had to tell 75 stories. He started to just make him up. I don't have an exam. I know. I'm sorry. No, it's truly perfect. It's such a perfect joke.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Sandy, what you need to do is either become a celebrity and go on celebrity jeopardy, so it's a little bit easier. That would be great. Or go to college and go to college jeopardy because that's also a little bit easier. I don't know if that plan would work. Hello, fellow students. Yeah, you can At the, there's a Midwestern crossword tournament that I've been a part of for the last couple of years. It's in October. And I put on a game. Sure. I put on, I've helped run it.
Starting point is 01:04:23 And in the way that I've like, I put on a game on stage for everyone to play between rounds. But this year, my friend asked me to compete with him in the pairs tourney, which is you do a crossword together. You both have a pencil. You both fill it out together. And I have never been that. fast of a crossword solvers, so that's why I've never entered. But on a lark, I was like, sure. And that's sort of the equivalent
Starting point is 01:04:44 of of doing the the celebrity because it's like, you get the competition is way, way, way less. You have like a fraction of the number of people solving. So it's much easier to kind of like get two really fast solvers together and get into the leaderboard.
Starting point is 01:05:00 So we ended up getting third place. Nice. Which is wild, which means we had to get up on stage and compete in front of everyone. I would fill the crossword out on stage, which is nerve-wracking, especially when you make a massive mistake like I did. Okay, that was dark. No, I guess it.
Starting point is 01:05:20 Do they have a toilet on stage? Because how else are you supposed to do the crossword? That's pretty good. I get the joke. I don't actually ever do the crossword on the toilet. I always do it. It's not about what you do. It's about getting the joke.
Starting point is 01:05:34 So thank you for the first part. And no, thank you for all the rest of it. I was about to go into all the things. I do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do all the toilet. He said it. All right. That's all the time we have for today. Sandy said do do do do do do do all the toilet. We got him. We got him. We got him. Do you have anything that you would like to, uh, for our listeners to. Oh, I didn't even get to my, my capper. Let me do one more. Do you on do one more. All right. All right. Take the word sofa. Replace it with an African country and you'll get another African country.
Starting point is 01:06:06 So if Africa. It's like it's got to be so South Africa There is a country in Africa That is within another country in Africa And that's what's going on here But you can figure it out because one of the countries is The letters in SOFA
Starting point is 01:06:24 Minus a letter My name is Chad Sofa Possible Chad Sofa That's a good favorite of riddle character for sure Um Senegal Sofa
Starting point is 01:06:37 Sofa take the F out Okay, S-O-blank A. And what's the word we're adding in? An African country to get another African country. Somalia. Yeah. And what's the country? Molly.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Molly. Molly. Wow. Of course. Speaking of Molly, I'm going to go take some. Perfect. On the toilet. So smart.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Sandy. I almost called you Santhany, which is, Sandy is short for Santhony, right? It is now. Yeah. Santhony Wise, where can people find you? What do you got going on? They can find me on letterboxed, and everything stems from there. Yep.
Starting point is 01:07:16 You know what? I am? You can find me on letterbox. I'm not going to tell you my username, but it's easy to find. But no, you can play my Rattle game at rattle. com or rattlerattle.com, whichever is easier for you to remember. I'm also, I also run a company called, my day job is running this company I own called the Mystery League out of Chicago, where I put on team building games.
Starting point is 01:07:36 I've actually had several requests lately of people who've heard me on this dang podcast and has led to business, which is cool. It's including a really, really cool project that I can't talk about. Oh, incredible. Thank God. I'm so glad you get something out of this
Starting point is 01:07:51 because, Jesus, we're relentless. So if you're like, I've heard this guy on this podcast, but I don't know if I can take this podcast seriously enough to treat it as a recommendation, you absolutely can. Other people have done it. Yeah, so mystery league.com.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Okay, that's great news, Sandy. Now let's bite you with this radioactive spider and just kind of see what happens. Bye-bye. He's dead. Oh, he's dead. He's dead. Just push him into the ocean.
Starting point is 01:08:22 Where in Chicago? Ocean's about, let's see. Man, anytime Sandy's here, I feel like I have to take a shower because I just feel like I have, you get little bits of, you know, riddles and all the nooks and grannies. And I'm not covered in pineapple juice.
Starting point is 01:08:40 I don't know what that is. Pineapple juice, probably. You have ants all over you. Aaron? Covered in hot dogs? Yeah, but that's just sort of my natural state covered in hot dogs. You can play at JPC. Hot dogs.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Feels better with permission. I'll tell you that much. It feels much better with permission. Well, let's... Speaking of things that we... can play on the show, why don't we play a voicemail theme?
Starting point is 01:09:07 Hell yeah. You will make a comment on the show. Believe the voicemailer. You have to make a best... That, I would listen to an album of that. Whatever that is, that sort of like New Order-esque music, I would listen to an album of that. That, well, you could pick up a Chapel Road album, because that was a cover of Good Luck
Starting point is 01:09:51 Babe by Davey Paul. Or David Paul, I guess you could just do a whole cover album, you know? Yes, please. Yes, please. Of Chappell Road songs and the style of whatever that was to the tune of, hey, riddle of riddle riddle. That absolutely ruled. Well, let's play a voicemail, Casey. Hey, KluCrew.
Starting point is 01:10:10 My name's Katie, long-time listener, first-time callers. I'm a law student, so I'm studying for finals right now. And in the margins of one of my notebooks, I've written, free enforcement judicial review can still get you pregnant, which none of my friends found as funny as I did. That's funny. To prepare for my future legal career, I was curious if there's any law you guys would like me to get rid of in the future. Love the show.
Starting point is 01:10:32 Thanks. Bye. Whoa, Katie, thank you so much for the voicemail. How much time do you have? And either best of luck or great job, depending on when you sent that in. That's very exciting. And also very funny that you wrote that in the margins. A law we want to get rid of.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Is that what they said? Right. Isn't that that was? Yeah, three. Three laws. Three laws. So we each do one maybe? Okay, yeah, we could each.
Starting point is 01:10:59 I would say, I, you know what? I'll say it. Oh. I've had it with Murphy's law. I've had it. Anything that possibly could go wrong will go wrong. I'm done with Murphy's law. I'm done with the law of gravity.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Yeah. It's weighing me down. I don't feel great. If I don't get rid of Murphy's law. I feel like I'm not stepping totally out of line here. Sure. No, you're not. I would have get rid of the TV show.
Starting point is 01:11:29 The TV show Murphy's Law with Candace Bergen. What? Why? It's not, okay. If you guys deem that this is not one that I can do, I will pick a different one. But I think I would get rid of the 22nd amendment. I just don't think we need to be limiting how many terms of president can serve at this age. in our, you know, history.
Starting point is 01:11:54 I think if, and it doesn't matter who, but if a president wanted to do a third term or kind of a fourth term, that to me, I think, would be fine. But it's not really a law. If you're listening to this in 2028, please know that JPC was joking. JPC is only joking and the side of action.
Starting point is 01:12:09 We all support them. Anything, anyone have anything to plug? Anything that we're plugging now days? I got nothing. I got a big thing to plug. Oh. PBL lover PBL
