on HBO Max or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right.
So is this your first salami making class?
Yes, first ever.
Oh, okay.
And I never want to assume.
But what is your relationship?
Are you celebrating something?
We are.
Podcasts.
Co-hosts?
We're podcast co-hosts avoiding our things.
third co-host.
Got it. Oh, okay. We actually
get a lot of that here.
Yeah, so that's totally normal,
totally fine.
We're celebrating not having to hang out with him today.
That's perfectly acceptable.
And this is your, you said that's your first
kind of salami making class.
Do you have any relevant experience that you might
need just to let me know of so I can get an engaged skill level?
Well, I was a bit of a ham in college.
That's very fun.
You use a ham in college.
He's funny in college.
He's funny now, too.
Okay.
So just kind of funny and kind of like,
want to be the center of attention.
This was the cheapest coupon.
So that's sort of why we're here.
Oh, use the coupon.
Yes.
Okay.
I am being a little too nice to you.
But that's okay.
You know what?
It doesn't matter.
Yeah.
So what kind of meats did you bring?
Well, I thought we were making salami.
Out of what, motherfucker?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do not give us a group of?
Bon experience.
I'm sorry, I didn't.
I was doing the nice one and you said you used a Groupon.
You came to a salami making class and you didn't bring any meats with you?
You know what, buddy?
If you keep this up, I'm going to go through this whole eight-hour class and then, at the end, call Groupon and demand a refund.
You keep this up.
Unbelievable.
$300 and you're not providing us with any meat?
Oh, $300?
Oh, my apologies.
You got ripped off.
I will take my tone back.
I take that all back.
I'll give you...
Yeah, I mean, this is a no-meat salami-making class.
This is a $25 class at most.
If you didn't you bring meat, you can use...
You know when you go to a fancy restaurant,
you're not dressed for it,
and they kind of lend you like a jacket
so that you will kind of fit in with the aesthetic.
I've seen it in movies.
Yeah.
Well, we can give you, and I'm using air quotes here,
meat to use for the class.
The air quotes are making me nervous.
We just wanted to like sort of drink a glass of wine and eat some charcutory.
Well, you're at a salami making class, not a drinking a glass of wine and eating.
This is this is our meat.
This is our donor meat.
This is JPC.
You can use him basically as you would use meat.
Oh, I didn't know it's going to be Middle Eastern meat.
This is donor?
Common misconception.
JPC's actually just like a regular white guy.
I know in the summertime
it can get a little confusing, but
JPC, Adel and I
we did have a cold, but we are suddenly
feeling better.
Much better, yeah.
Did you guys find me at my other job
so that you could beg me to quit my other
job and come back to the podcast?
No.
No.
I wish I could say yes, but honestly, no.
We can't even say a fake.
I'm here.
I just will do the podcast.
I'm JPC.
I'm Anna Rofi.
And I'm Aaron Keefe, fully made of salami and fully ready to go.
Yeah, absolutely.
Oh, baby, I met this girl at the bar last weekend.
Oh, yeah?
Made a salami, fully ready to go.
No.
Fuck!
If you were made, well, clearly she's going to turn back into a whatever at midnight.
Yeah.
If you were made out of meat, what meat would you want to be made out of?
And this is tricky because, huh?
Human.
Yeah, that was going to be all of our answers.
What meat would I want to be made out of?
It's tricky because you want to be
A meat you like
But you also don't want to like nibble on yourself
Anything but tofu
I know it's not meat
But I just don't want a protein substitute at all
That's not meat
If I say that I want to be made out of like turkey
Can I fly?
No
Fuck
I want to have like turduckin energy
I want several different kinds of
No
I caught my son
I caught myself before it could make it to the soundboard.
That's the first time I've ever fully gotten back from a cliff fall.
That is crazy.
I almost said it and I didn't.
Aaron,
what would it have been that you said?
Because I think I know.
Well, you will never know.
I'll put it.
You want to be something stuffed inside you?
I'm going to say this.
Aaron's now.
Aaron, I think that's the proudest I've ever been of you.
Thank you.
I wish I had done anything to war even more proud.
Do you want to read what I was going to say?
Yes.
Yeah, I don't care.
I'll put it on my soundboard.
What you were going to say, Erin, is I wish I could have several kinds of meat inside of me.
And I think that that would have been fine for you to say, and good, even.
My lips are sand.
And you know what?
It's okay.
We're all okay.
And this is the podcast, Hey, Riddell and we're a podcast about three friends.
who are okay with saying things that can be taken out of context.
Um, I love it.
I love it.
My favorite city is Springfield.
Okay, that's, actually, no context for that.
That's any town USA, baby.
Whoa, did you see that thing that happened in pop culture today?
That was crazy.
Can you believe this cabinet?
That could be any kind of cabinet.
Yeah, man.
I'll get the WD 40.
I'll oil it.
Stop breaking it up.
I feel like...
Okay, well, now you're just playing with it.
I hear it too, man.
I hear it too.
Oh, Casey Clip.
This is a fun game.
Casey Clip, now you're just playing with it.
It's fun to just do these innocuous things
until we catch someone.
It's like that game where you try to say
like a penis progressively louder
when you're in like a public place, you know.
What's this game?
It's the penis loud game.
Eric, tell me you've heard of the penis loud game.
Penis!
So Aaron wins, and she's at her house.
Oh, my poor downstairs neighbors,
they're at their end of their rope with me,
and I completely understand.
You can hear this.
I am so sorry.
I hope they're writing down on, like, a notepad of, like,
this exact time and then yell penis to really love.
Yeah.
So they can put something in court.
It's just day and day out.
She's watching porn and then you hear her sobbing after.
I'm going, why did I do this?
I never had like fun neighbor experiences like that.
It's rare.
Yeah.
When I lived in an apartment where I was in the downstairs and my landlords were upstairs,
there's just the two of us in this like duplex basically.
Or not duplex.
What's it called when it's above?
Like double?
It's like two single family.
Yeah.
Whatever.
But one time they had this.
with their adult, like, I think college-age daughter, they had this, like, screaming, like, blowout
fight.
And we're home.
So we're just, like, try to watch TV, but it's, like, way louder than the TV.
And we're just, like, sitting there being like, oh, I guess, uh, I guess she's back from college,
huh?
I guess they're, uh, they're kind of having it out right now.
And then, like, the next day, it was so awkward because he was like, yeah, sorry about that.
And we're like, yeah, maybe you should, uh, maybe you should talk to somebody about.
Our neighbors here, my place, and here's a thing, I'll protect their identity.
You don't know which side of my house.
They had their college-age daughter come home, and they had a screaming match at, like, very late at night.
Yeah.
And it's like, okay, that's fine.
Obviously, you know, obviously going through something not going to, like, complain because, you know, this is, it's bad enough.
And then later that week, this is somewhat recently, later that week,
The wife came over and said something to Gemma of like, well, um,
I'm just taking out a restraining order against.
So now the guy has a,
might be a pseudonym or might be his real name.
It depends on if we forgot.
Depends on if we forgot.
I guess has a restraining order against his daughter.
Because they yelled at each other.
I don't.
I do, like, whenever you're on the other side of like a family squad,
like that with zero context. You have no context for what the fuck is going on. You're like,
I'm not really on anyone's side right now. I guess the side I'm on is maybe quiet now.
That's my side.
Oh, man. I did hear one time I did hear a roommate when I live with roommates and I won't say who this is having,
I would say, performatively loud sex in their apartment because they thought that no one was home.
and no one was home when they started.
But then everyone, like, came home.
And we were just like, people would come to the...
Like, somebody gave a big applause at the end.
Well, people would come into the door.
We'd be like, like, come into the kitchen.
Like, just let's all set at the table.
And we didn't do performative applause.
It was better because it was abject silence.
And much later, it wasn't like they finished having sex and came out of the room,
but much later, when they did come out of the room,
we were all just sitting around our kitchen table.
their room was right off the kitchen.
And it was, we didn't say anything, we didn't look at anything.
We all just there.
And they were like, well, I know.
I know what's happening here.
No, no, no.
I, um, one time was, well, I was on a team in Chicago called Webbus and we would
rehearse every Wednesday night at my house.
And for the first couple years I was in Chicago, my downstairs neighbors were like
awful. They were like, they did not like that three single young women lived above them. They were
like very conservative and a little bit scary. And they were constantly complaining about us. Some,
I'm sure it was like justified sound complaints. But they would like complain about us.
Like they would ease drop basically of us coming in and out of the house and the content in what we
were talking about. And they would be like, they're so inappropriate. These girls are so inappropriate.
And one time there was a scene in Webbus and the scene was like, someone was like coming out of the closet in the scene.
And then we just hear like a banging on the door mid rehearsal.
And I was like, oh my God, I got to go down there.
And I went down and the downstairs neighbor was like screaming at me.
And he was like, you're a bunch of nasty girls.
You're nasty up there.
The stuff you're talking about is nasty.
And I was like, yeah, we're going to go ahead and get you kicked out.
You can't be harassing us.
Because I let gay people in my apartment.
Yeah, the content, I mean, look, you got to do improv, you got to stomp on the floor, don't make it gay.
People being gay affects my life somehow.
I'm like, there's so much to complain about it, but you can be complaining about hearing zib-zap, Zop.
You could be complaining about the other nonsense that we're doing.
I'm sure Harrison Lott was doing a fucking cartwheel every five seconds, who knows.
But instead, that is what he complained about.
But then he moved out, and then our friends moved in below us, and it was way more fun.
If two men are gay, that means that there's more available women, which means I'm going to cheat on my wife now.
It's your fault.
Actually, that math checks out.
I'm running the numbers.
You made me cheat on my wife.
One of my big regrets from my 20s and all the apartments that I lived in was that I didn't, I lived in places for like long periods of time and I didn't have enough like, I got to get the fuck out of here experiences.
Because a lot of places that I stayed at, like, I could stay here for the next three or four years.
That'd be okay.
and I wish I had more
Gotta get the fuck out of your experiences
They make better stories
You know now that I'm on the other side of it
Oh yeah
I only lived in three places in Chicago
And no having to like leave in the middle
Of the night type situations
Yeah
They're all pretty decent places
Yeah
I do it would be fun at some point in life
To have neighbors
In like a Seinfeld situation of like
They just walk in the door
And start rummaging through your fridge
I'm describing raccoons aren't I
Yeah, wait a minute.
I think you want raccoons to come in your house.
I know it is fun to have, like, that is like a dorm living thing that I feel like I miss.
I wish that I had friends like, who live in my building, who could just come in and.
That was the best in colleges.
Like, you prop your door open and then it's just like a constant flow of like people coming in and doing bits.
Yeah, constant flow of people coming in.
And just.
And not complete silence.
Aaron.
No, I'm fine.
Oh, darkness, my old friend.
The RA constantly popping in and saying, who's drinking?
Oh, you caught me.
You're like, Aaron, please drink.
Do anything interesting.
R.A.'s popping in.
Just have to check that you're breathing because you're not moving and you're not blinking.
So putting a mirror under your face.
Okay, good.
Have a good day, Aaron.
Do you guys want to do some riddles?
Yes.
Okay.
So I have some riddles.
These are going to be listeners submitted riddles.
And some of them I quite like.
That's fun.
But these are all riddles from
2019. So this first one is coming to us
from February of 2019
from Oliver.
A fun thing about
this, and sometimes I read the emails and kind of
make my own notes based on them.
This riddle was sent to us by someone who,
at the time of sending it, was 16,
but is now 22.
That's pretty fun, huh?
That's pretty fun.
This is a riddle from a child who is now
an adult.
Help, help, help, help, help, help, help.
You are nasty boy.
You say nasty things.
I would have bleeped Oliver's name if we had read this five years ago, but, what is that, seven years ago?
But no need now.
Stop doing the math.
You're stressing us now.
Becoming an adult, Oliver.
I hope you are still listening to the show.
There was a man who was born before his father, killed his mother, and married his sister.
Yet, there was nothing wrong.
with what are you done?
Why?
Jamie Lannister.
It was Jamie Lannister.
Wee.
And Oliver, you were too young to understand that reference at the time.
But this was from a television show that you weren't allowed to watch or a book you weren't
allowed to read.
Okay.
So this is a man who was born before his father.
So he goes to a church where the pastor is much younger than him.
Let him.
He killed Mother Teresa and he married a former nun, sister.
Yes
I mean
I know I do this too often
Adel
But you are recused from doing the rest of the rental
Because that answer
It kind of works
It's not the answer to this riddle
But it's good enough that I like
I'll give you the day off
Give him the day off
What?
What?
I always say date within the church
You can be born before your father
Kill your mother
Marry your sister
Addle is thinking correctly here
Aaron because he's thinking
in that lateral fact
right?
Okay.
But so I'll read it one more time.
There was a man who was born before his father,
killed his mother, and married his sister,
yet there was nothing wrong with what he had done.
Why?
Board game.
Oh, man.
Board game does not work.
A play.
I do want to see the same.
They're all in a community theater, sure.
Yes.
This is the two of you are having a board game night,
and JCP, you are introducing a pretty wild,
off-the-rails board game that you can.
came up with that you think, um, uh, you've been dubious about showing it because you're
concerned that you might get, be judged. But yeah, tonight's the night, you're going to debut it.
Okay, guys. So I, uh, you all remember when I was in that, like, really bad car accident when I was
20 and I was in like a coma for four days. So I've been working with this therapist who has helped
me kind of regress back into that coma state. And I remembered some of the great ideas I had in
that coma. And I've kind of turned them into a board game.
Okay, well, I have a party at like 930, so how long is this going to take?
Oh, way longer.
Cancel that.
So this board game, it's called, it's called living inside your mime.
Okay, I'm a couple red flags right out of the gate here for me.
I see dice.
I see several different timekeepers.
I see cards.
Yes.
I see, oh my God.
There's just, there's already too many.
parts. What are these gems for? Okay, so that's going to be, the gems are going to be the only thing
that survives in your burn bucket. Everybody else should have a burn bucket, right? I have three
bloody padlocks. Oh, I forgot. You're the record keeper. Yes. So you're going to have the bloody
padlocks. You will have burned buckets. And, okay, well, so you'll get the game as we play it,
but in order to see who goes first, everybody has a cigarette. Let's just see who can smoke. There's the
fastest. Whoever can smoke their cigarette the fastest. And you have to smoke. And you have to smoke.
Make sure it gets in your lungs. I would like the number for the doctor that cleared you to drive again,
because this is concerning. It's interesting that you bring up going clear because they're not
even a doctor. Okay. So let's begin. Let's see. Does everyone have... You're dealing out money and
cards. You're dealing out real money and playing cards. And I'll make change for either one. So if you need
change for the money or the cards, we can do that as well. All right. I need change for the king.
Okay, great. Change for your king. I finished my cigarette and inside was a little card that said,
let's all now listen for the man in the walls. Whoa, you smoked the wrong cigarette. That's a game
cigarette. Okay, which cigarettes are you guys using? Okay, you all smoked game cigarettes. Okay. Well,
here's the way that goes. So everyone has your fingerless gloves, right? And I'm sorry.
not enough finger holes in the fingerless gloves,
just fold them down or whatever.
What's that ticking nut just start up?
That is the oven.
So we have to get it hot because of what's going to happen in round three.
And it's not in relation to your burn bucket.
So those are going to be for safety, not for points in the game.
How long are each of the rounds?
How long is your hair?
Let's cut some.
So everybody gets a little bit of hair caught off.
Can we fast forward three hours?
Yeah, yeah.
We should have just, we should.
should have just played Catan two hours in.
I don't know.
I don't know what took us so long to just start playing Katan.
Why are you mad?
We are finishing this game.
We are finishing.
I'm obsessed.
This is incredible.
These are my gems.
I earned them fair and square.
You don't earn gyms from a burn bucket.
You guys aren't playing by the rules that I haven't explained.
I have none of the cash in all of the cards, asshole.
Well, I have the knife.
I have the knife of the siding.
Let's see what it says.
My head is completely shaved at this point.
Seen.
You and Emma Stone.
You and Emma Stone.
Bagonia.
Both love board games.
And you guys got the answer to this riddle.
It was a play?
No.
Is Oedipus up?
Oh, no, you didn't get the answer.
I was reading my notes wrong.
So it wasn't a play.
Okay, let me walk through it.
There's a man born before his father.
Explain that to me in play?
They're playing a part in a play.
He gets cast as the man born before his father.
And it's like a thing of like the father was watching the birth and he was born before his father.
Okay.
Adel.
I know you're not playing anymore, but that's part of it.
He killed his mother during birth.
Okay.
Second part.
Now here's where it gets awful.
Married his step sister.
Aaron.
His father remarried.
Aaron.
Ugh.
That's still weird.
Aaron.
GPC's actually giving me a big thumbs up and mouthing.
I actually love that.
I actually love that.
And I can tell we have kind of some of the similar search terms.
Big thumbs up, everybody.
And what other way could he marry his sister?
Oh, it's like a Michael C. Hall situation.
Oh, he officiated her wedding.
He officiated her wedding.
Finally, he grew up to be a minister.
It's a Michael C. Hall situation.
He married the woman who played Deborah.
That's right.
That's right.
And finally, it's a Michael C. Hall situation.
Okay, so Adel, you got double credit for that.
Congratulations and good job.
And thank you, Oliver.
I hope you enjoy being an adult human in the world.
Okay, so I got a riddle right, so I get to smoke a cigarette from the draw pile.
Okay, all right.
Spoke the whole thing.
Okay.
Okay, coughing.
Got to go back to zero.
Draw eight, okay.
Coffee can go back to zero.
It's a game called cigarette pack, and you said, right, you smoke a cigarette pack,
and you then do whatever the cigarettes tell you.
This next riddle is from Ed.
Ed also lived in 2019 when they wrote this.
riddle. Ed says that all the riddles follow a similar structure that describes a three-syllable
word. The first three lines describe a syllable each, and the final line describes the whole word.
So there are going to be four lines. The first three all relate to a syllable, and then the last
line is the whole word. Okay? So here's the first one kind of as an example. My beginning is the
standard name for an automobile.
My middle describes most anything that's single, solid, and real.
My end can carry more than my start, but still is on four wheels.
And then the big clue to get you to the word is, my hole might be towed by my start or by my end.
Can you my name reveal?
So like is the
Is the first syllable like
K for Karr or something?
Well, yes, but also
Carr is one syllable.
So it's it's...
Oh, I see.
Yes, it's.
You got it with car.
So it can be a full word.
Yeah, as long as it's one syllable.
As long as it's not multiple, yeah.
Gotcha.
So is the first word car?
Car, yep.
But this is part of, it's one word
that's inside a larger word, right?
It's not a phrase or something?
Yes.
The whole thing that you're, the whole thing
that you're getting is one word.
Gotcha.
So, car is the first word.
My whole might be towed by my start or my end.
Can you my name reveal?
Start with car.
What was the second clue?
My middle describes most anything that's single, solid, real.
And that's not attached to car, right?
This is a new word.
No.
It's a new one syllable.
It's just a one syllable word or, yeah.
Okay.
Aaron, what do we think for this one?
Corporeal?
It's one syllable.
Corpore.
It's one.
I also think maybe the middle one is a little harder to try to get the third one.
Okay.
My end can carry more than my start, but still is on four wheels.
And now is this...
When it says my end, does it mean the end of this word or...
No, it's just beginning, middle, and end.
So the first one was beginning, the second one was middle, the third one is end.
So this is a full word.
A full word, yeah.
That comes at the end.
Can carry more than the start.
Yeah.
And the start was car.
Carriage.
Truck.
Ooh, bed.
Bed.
It's not truck.
It's not carriage.
Train.
Train.
Train.
U-Haul, but one syllable.
U-Haul is close as well.
Boose.
Think maybe smaller than a U-Haul bigger than a truck, I would say?
Oh, I guess some trucks should be huge.
Van.
Van.
A van.
Caravan.
It's Caravan.
Caravan.
By Van Morrison.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Caravan, of course.
I'm embarrassed.
Now you, I think you have to do the example to kind of get how it's going.
But my middle describes most anything that single solid reel that's a blank, like a, you know, a caravan.
Okay.
So that's the general style.
Here are more of them from Ed.
My beginning could be guacamole, salsa, hummus, what to choose.
Dip.
My middle describes a score, which, except in golf, would lose.
Zero.
My end...
Dip Zirooa.
I got Dibzerioa.
It's like diphtheria, but worse?
Yep, it's way worse.
My end asks if you're coming in
to please just wipe your shoes.
Matt.
Dip and ill mat.
My whole is a foreign profession
often in the news.
Diplomat.
Diplomat.
Wow.
It's diplomat.
So low is the score?
Yeah, low is the score.
that would lose except in golf.
Yeah.
I would like to see me.
Please, Erin.
JPC, you are a diplomat,
and you are just absolutely blowing it
at a fancy diplomat dinner
that Adel and I are also at.
Great.
Thank you so much for coming to the dinner.
It is so lovely to have so many different countries
and cultures represented here at my dinner table.
Excuse me, sorry.
I'm so sorry.
are we supposed to do a voice?
Pardon?
I don't know.
This is my natural speaking voice, of course.
Just speak in your natural accent.
Excuse me.
Did you say, Valar we supposed to do a voice?
I'm not doing a voice.
Neither am I.
It's just that I was assigned to the Bahamas.
And you are from the Bahamas?
No, I'm not.
I'm from United States.
I didn't know if I was supposed to be doing the voice, and I don't feel comfortable.
Diplomats are typically from the country that they represent.
Why don't you...
I'm a diplomat from the United States.
Would you like to try and guess where we are each from?
I don't.
All of us?
Go around the room and guess.
Like what cereal?
Oh, he got us.
I am, of course.
Count Chocula?
I was going to say Count Chocula.
I am the Honey Nutcherios B.
Seed.
Before this gets problematic, I guess.
Suck me blood.
Does the Honey Nutcherias...
I was trying to think of serial mascots that don't talk.
I don't think the Honey Nutriot Chirios B talks.
They could be French.
Oh, he does.
He talks.
He absolutely talks.
He's a nasty little gossip.
It's a he, right?
I don't know.
I don't remember him talking.
He talks?
What does he talk?
What does he talk?
What does he talk? What does he talk? What does he want?
What he got right here? Right here in River City.
Loose lips sink cereal.
I could have sworn there were Cheerios commercials where it was seemingly a guy B and he did talk.
I'm looking it up.
Ah, my damn wife.
Oh, my God.
She wants me to mow the hive.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I think it would be what would like Harvey Kytel be his like a voice or something?
They should have celebrated stunt cast at.
He already just smacks the frog.
I do like the Golden Grimes bear because he was kind of like,
can't get a lover, he was like a crooner.
Yeah.
Can you get a lovely golden.
Well, he does talk.
Hold on, hold on.
And the golden,
the gold grabs bear also felt like he was like maybe had like three drinks.
Like he wasn't quite drunk, but he was loose.
Oh, yeah.
Like he was like.
He's had cocktails.
So I feel like the bee was something like,
Hey, kids.
Come eat Cheerios.
Like this.
Like, I'm very earnest.
Golden Graves.
Part of a balanced breakfast
and doesn't want to have a martini
because it's five o'clock somewhere
Golden Graham.
Rupert and
Golden Grams.
Unfortunately, I am looking
through Honey Nut Cheerios commercials.
Okay.
And there's one of him singing.
That makes sense.
Oh, but now I'm seeing this one.
Okay, you guys, do you remember
the Little Red Riding Hood,
like Wolf one, Honey Nut Cheerios commercial
from 1998?
This is blowing my mind.
Do I remember it?
The Wolf one?
It's so scary.
It's like a wolf puppet. Hold on, hold on.
He's about to talk.
All right, we didn't leave it in.
It's all worth it for Aaron silence and the little, like the little gasp.
You can play the audio of the commercial.
He talks.
The beat talks and he's a boy.
What does he sound like, Aaron?
Can you do his voice?
Honey, not Cheerios.
So the wolf eats the Cheerios instead of the kid.
Oh, okay.
Well, well, well.
Looks like everyone else.
Dr. Addle and apologies.
Dr. Addle, I'd like to formally apologize.
I can't operate on this B. He's a man.
Aaron sent Casey the link.
You know what?
Can we put it in the...
I don't know. This is a main feed.
I get nervous about putting that kind of stuff in the main feed.
You know, Casey, if it falls back on you, you're going to have to go to jail.
You're going to have to take the fall for it, Casey.
Let's do...
Casey says, okay.
That's illegally binding.
Hey, folks.
Casey here, your editor.
my attorney has advised that I not quote unquote risk it all for a riddle podcast. So I don't know,
man, Google it or something. Kelsey Grammer's in the commercial. It's fun.
I would like to see like, you know, Captain Crunch is like,
you know, the cap and make it happen. Yeah. And Tony the Tiger is like, you know,
everyone has like a big bombastic sort of tone and voice. I would love to see just any
serial mascot that's like, hey, what's up, kids?
Are you hungry or?
Yeah?
Chat-off?
Like just like casual Charlie or something.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, what's up?
I really love the cereal.
That's not saying that you'll love it.
But if you want to give it a shot, like it has my recommendation.
But yeah, whatever.
I got to get going.
You don't have to chase me.
You can just have it.
Those discount cereals that are just in the bag, not the box, it's like all of those
mascots are just guys like, yeah, my name is Peter.
I guess I have kind of an interesting shirt.
That's kind of my whole thing.
I guess I'm not wearing it today.
I feel like most 90 serial commercials,
it's like you had to like chase or kill the mascot
to get the product.
Yeah, they wanted you to go through it.
I just want someone who's like,
no, we're trying to sell it actually.
Did you kids have money or you can have a little bit for free?
That's fine.
No, yeah, it doesn't come with spoons.
You'll have to have spoons and bowls.
Price in the box, you're not kids, are you?
I mean, your children, but nobody wants a toy.
Don't have too much of it.
It's full of sugar.
really bad for you.
But have one bowl.
We're trying to sell the product, but we're not, we're trying to sell the product, but
we're not, you know, we're not trying to lie to you.
We're being realistic.
Legally, we have to tell you you also have to have toast or orange juice or this is
not a meal.
Yeah.
You're not going to get any fiber, protein, anything, really.
If you guys are ever in Dearborn, stop by the factory, please.
Yeah.
I'll leave you passes.
You know how there's, like, nutritional value on the back of these things and, like,
how much of your daily value of that thing it is.
Ours isn't a negative percentage-wise.
Yeah, I have to put in my...
We're stealing nutrients from you.
I'm going to get out of here.
I've got to go to my stepson since.
Can't get enough of these golden grams.
Actually, after two bowls, I'm stuffed.
So...
If I'm honest.
If I'm honest.
We've got it.
All right.
We did too much of this riff.
Now we have to go on a break.
No.
No, no.
No, we've had too much of our cereal.
Now we have to go on a break.
We'll be right back.
I'm pretty smug this year, you guys.
For Mother's Day, I got my mom exactly what she wanted.
Smug. Oh, the acronym, smart, beautiful, oven, and gross.
Okay. I got my mom an aura frame, and I filled it with photos of the two of you, because she's a huge fan.
So now, when she's sitting in her living room, she can go, oh, I love that picture.
JPC. Ah, I love that picture of Adel. Oh, I love the picture of me and the boys in Cabo together.
Ah, Aaron, we're getting into a kind of a gift of the magi situation because I got my U, an oar frame, full of photos of mom and Adel.
What did you do, Adel? It seems like you also did something like that?
I got, yes, I got my mom or a frame, but I just fill it with photos of Madonna.
Oh. I guess I die another day. No, it's from her tour where she had the cowboy hat. What was that tour?
It's like a cowboy tour

i think i need a spring refresh oh um um errant
what kind of stuff are you looking for?
Yeah.
Like stylish, timeless pieces,
like maybe like a raincoat and like a cashmere,
like sweater that's like transitional from winter to spring.
Oh, Aaron, I would not wear a cashmere sweater over a raincoat.
It's going to get absolutely ruined if there's rain.
I'm putting it together.
That's not what you meant.
Okay.
Aaron, have you heard about Quince?
Quince makes high quality everyday essentials using premium materials
like 100% European linen and their insanely soft,
Flown-it active-wear fabric.
They have linen pants and shirts that are lightweight,
breathable, and comfortable, basically the perfect layer for spring.
The pants strike the right balance between laid back and refined,
so you look put together without trying too hard.
Aaron, is that what you're going for?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, Aaron, also, you silly goose, the best part about Quince is that
their prices are 50 to 60% less than similar brands.
How?
You're screaming at me?
Aaron, please stop screaming.
How?
Quince works directly with ethical factories,
and cuts out the middleman.
So you're paying for quality, not brand markup.
Everything is designed to last, and it makes getting dressed easy.
I have a purse from Quince that I have people stop me when I'm walking around L.A.
to ask me where I get it because it looks very expensive, but it's not.
It's going to last me years and years.
I also have a ring from there that I love.
They've got home stuff that's timeless and awesome, incredible rugs, curtains.
They've got baby stuff.
They've got baby stuff that I purchased.
That's very cute.
So why don't you do yourself a favor and refresh your wardrobe with Quince?

And I look incredible.
Okay.
Adel, Aaron, I've seen the movie, I've read the book, I'm all about Project Hail Mary nowadays.
And I don't want to brag, but I have actually built something that is pretty cool and kind of relates to a sponsor of the show.
If you know where I'm going.
Oh, who's a little rock friend here?
So this is Adel, this is Rockett.
Oh, Rockett Money.
This is Rocket Money.
Oh, like the app that I love.
Oh, man.
Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills so you can grow your savings.
Yeah, I had a subscription, speak of the devil, I had a subscription to the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall.
And I was losing money hand over legs. And thank God, Rocket Money caught it.
Don't mention hands and legs around Rockett money because he doesn't have.
kind of, don't worry about it, buddy. Look, all you need to know is that you didn't get your name
from the app, you're your own guy, I love you, I found you in space, and Rocket Money has
automatic transaction categorization across accounts, plus customizable categories and tags
to reveal spending patterns. You can save for like a big event, like it helped me save for
my wedding celebration, or you can use it to set budgets and goals, which is something that I love
setting, and I use it daily, weekly, monthly for that as well.
It has canceled so many unwanted subscriptions.
It has saved users over 880 million in canceled subscriptions.
I know we're always signing up for free trials for things and forgetting it.
And they're hoping that you're not going to notice.
But you know who notices?
Rocket money.
And they go, not on our watch.
Yeah, Rocket money is like a good wingman at a bar who's like, whoa, you're not buying too old fashions.
You're buying one.
And don't worry, but I'm not going to forget about you when this ads over.

I was doing that with my mouth.
I'm holding that.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, there's a hand on the rock.
Well.
Well.
Well.
All right.
We're back.
We're going to do more of Ed's riddles because I think we only really did one.
So we're going to do the second one.
Second of Ed's riddles.
My beginning is what you might.
do if you don't want to be found.
Hide.
My middle describes a score.
Oh, I'm sorry.
My middle is what you might do to move a boat around.
To?
My end, if found in a cocktail, you may want to drink down.
Ice.
My hole is the double in life's vital compound.
Hide an ice seek?
Hide an ice seek.
Addle, I love Hyde.
I think you're right on with Hyde.
Hydrogen.
Erin.
It's hydrogen.
It's hydrogen.
You got it.
Wow.
Gin.
Gin and Roe is how you move a boat.
Ro.
Aaron.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
I'd like to thank Adel, Dr. Addle, who forgave me earlier, for saying that the
Honey Net Cheerios v.
He was a woman.
Without him, I would not be standing here today.
You were thinking of the.
Queen, Aaron.
The queen.
I was thinking of the queen.
That would make more sense.
But queens are much different.
He definitely has like worker bee vibes, right?
Oh, yeah.
He's a plebe.
He's an absolute fucking plebe.
It's a weird society that they have.
And I can say that because I'm part B.
Which part?
JBC.
The B.
By beginnings cried by prophets to declare the end is near.
Doom?
My middle keeps your food good to eat for months and years.
Salt?
I love that.
It's not salt.
My end describes the gusting winds when they are quite severe.
How old?
Okay, you haven't landed on any one.
But let's see if maybe you can just get it from the last one.
Gusting one.
My holes a tiny flyer favorable to the ear.
Oh, little Amelia Earhart?
God.
Yearworm.
We've done Little Amelia Earhart of the show before.
Yeah.
I do want to see.
Oh, God.
We're like the rush to ask for a scene from everybody.
I think we've done it.
Have we done it?
It sounds so familiar.
No, it doesn't sound familiar at all to me.
We've done little Amelia Earhart.
We've done.
A tiny Amelia Earhart.
Hey, I'll tell you this.
I'll tell you this right now.
Is she a kid?
Is it Amelia Earhart when she's a kid trying to get through middle school?
That's sad.
Is it?
a tiny version of grown-up Amelia Earhart.
I think if it's like picture like,
Stuart Little.
Like Stuart Little, but it's Amelia Earhart
and she's in a tiny plane.
And that's why they lost her.
So this is not a young Sheldon situation.
It's not Amelia Earhart at school.
She's like a borrower's Amelia Earhart.
Yes.
I think young Amilda,
while it could be for two or three seasons
a hit for CBS,
it's too sad because you know where it ends?
It ends, yeah.
Well, you know what?
We knew where big,
Bang Theory ended and we still muscled our way through young Sheldon as a culture.
Aaron muscled our way through.
I don't think our corporate sponsors would like that term.
We don't have corporate sponsors.
If we did, it wouldn't be CBS.
You always say that.
Okay, we'll forego my Lola Mary our heart scene.
Let's try and solve this riddle.
I really don't want you guys to get too far away from the riddle because I don't want to have to bring you back to it.
You know what I'm saying?
Remind us the first, it was like the people cry at the end of time is near.
My beginnings cry, nigh.
Okay, the end is nigh, yes.
Yes, yes.
My middle keeps your food good to eat for months and years.
Now, salt does preserve some foods.
You can salt.
And normally, if this was just a straight, like, riddle, I would give you partial credit on that.
But unfortunately, you won't get the end result if I, if I.
I've got a question.
Yes, Aaron.
The end of, you said the hole is an ear.
What's the ear thing?
My hole's a tiny flyer
favorable to the ear.
Nat.
Nat.
King Cole.
What's a bug that flies by the ear?
Night fly.
Night and gale.
Night worm.
Addle.
Addle.
It's night and gale.
Do you want to reverse,
do you want to reverse solve the riddle?
Gale is the wind.
Yeah.
Night tin.
Tin can.
Tin can.
If he can't something.
Yes.
Night ten.
Gale.
Oh, Florence.
Florence and her machine.
In the can.
My, okay, here's your next one.
Okay.
My beginning does not go out.
It stays there at its seat.
My middle is a favorite.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I should have given you time to guess.
My bad.
My beginning does not go out.
It stays there at its seat.
What do you say?
It's fine.
If you don't know, we'll just move on.
My middle is a favorite sandwich filling
JPC likes to eat.
Turkey.
No, no, because you're a vegetarian.
Aaron, the one guess that...
That was the meat that I wish I could be made up.
I know, that's why I said it.
My end has been folded up, all tidy and neat.
Wrap.
My whole is not finished because it's...
What?
Incomplete.
Incomplete.
Well, incomplete.
Oh, come sandwich.
Ew, what?
Aaron, don't do that.
Aaron.
Don't do what?
JPC quick say that's right.
Yeah, it's right, Erin.
Oh, not to you, Adel.
Not to you, ew.
I mean you.
You said what?
Like, you have never, you're not familiar with the show that you're off.
I'll have with the, you know.
I've never heard of a cum sandwich before.
Grilled a bit.
Oh, clutch my pearls.
A cum sandwich on this very podcast?
What will Little Amelia Earhart say?
I think I lost.
Yeah, I'm a little.
Oh, we've got another mad dash to play Little Amelia Earhart.
Of course we all want to play her.
Of course I want to play her
Okay, let's do you next one
Let's go to the next one
It should be
We should make something
It's like Muppet babies
But
It's just little versions
Of famous people
Who died tragically
Mary Houdini
You went up
You went up with you to that
Like it was the part that saves it
Who died tragically
Don't worry
They died tragically
And it's just their
It's just them as like
little kids getting into antics.
I don't mind.
Thank you.
Hey, their estates have to make money.
Honestly, after I'm dead,
my estate can sell me all over the place.
Oh, my God, can I be in charge of your name and estate?
Damn it.
Please, please, please.
I'll only give it to the worst possible people
for the worst possible reasons.
JBC, I will cart your dead body around the U.S. on a train,
much like they did with Abraham Lincoln and Billy the kid.
Yeah. Talk to me about, here's the thing, though, my wife's too pretty to work. What's the money going to be like? I got to make sure she's quailed taking care of.
60% of the money to your wife and kid.
I'll have to do, I'll have to do some research to see if 60% is a good rate for that service.
40% I will give to chaotic things that you would be donating to if you were still alive.
Aaron, you're doing this pro bono. I'm doing it pro bono. I'm doing it pro bono. I'm doing it.
the kindness of my...
I need you to take a cut.
I'll take a cut of your body.
I will take your hand.
My turkey.
Your turkey.
For Thanksgiving.
That would...
The hand of the body is kind of the turkey of the body, right?
Yeah, that's when you're making a turkey in grade school.
Okay, called out.
I guess my fucking hand turkey that I give Adel every year are just fucking dirt.
I will say, and this is nothing.
The first time, I don't know where...
I might have been in like Kansas or something.
The first time I saw a turkey, I was like, like my uncle or someone was like, oh, there's some turkeys.
And I looked at them and I go, what are you talking about?
And he goes, those are turkeys.
And I'm like, I've drawn turkeys many a time.
I've made over 200 turkeys with my hand.
My dude, those are not turkeys.
And eventually, as I got older, I'm like, oh, those are, I assume turkeys constantly had their tail out.
Yeah.
Full, full display.
They do not.
Yeah.
They're being bashful.
Is it kind of like, you thought like a turkey would be more like a peacock?
Yes.
And even peacocks don't have it, don't have it fully blown all the time.
No, no.
Yeah, and sometimes, whenever you see like a peacock, kind of a dirty tail, you're like, oh, man, I'm sorry, man.
I'm sorry, dirty tails.
Because it should be big and beautiful, right?
That's the whole point of a peacock.
That's how I comfort men in bed.
Yeah, even peacocks are not sort of doing their things.
thing all the time.
That happens to all,
it happens to a lot of peacocks.
And when I sleep with peacocks,
it's awesome.
I don't know the cum sandwich.
Here's,
this is the last one.
This is Ed's last one.
Well, maybe I went on to do a lot of great other things.
Maybe Ed's an astronaut now. We just don't know.
And we can't know. And we don't want to know, Ed.
Is it Ed Astra?
It is.
Was he an astronaut? I presume from the trailers.
I'm assuming Ed Astra was an astronaut of some
sort. I presume they spelled
Edron, AD.
Okay.
My beginning would deny
the sun his heavenly throne.
Night? No.
No? My middle is
definitely a hole, or maybe
it's a stone.
My
end describes
what belongs to a woman
alone. My whole
What?
Nothing.
My hole, once you've
said it. We can all go home.
Goodbye. Jupiter. Jupiter.
It's Jupiter. It's Jupiter. No, Casey.
Well, luckily, that's not what it is. Well, Aaron, come on.
Hot dogs.
Hot dogs. Really trying to get out of the episode. That's, that's very funny because,
Ed, just a few months ago, that still would have ended the episode and we would be
absolutely fucked and people would be pissed with this half episode.
in their feeds, but not anymore, but then Aaron did say hot dogs, so I guess we have to end
the episode.
Hot dogs.
Just for my peace of mind, can we go back through that?
So the thing that keeps the sun from rolling into night?
No, no, no.
No, my beginning would deny the sun, his heavenly throne, son, S-O-N.
Jew?
Jew.
Jew.
Because a Jewish person does not believe that Jesus was the son of God.
Oh, yes, it's yes.
Son, his heavenly throne.
I see, I see, I see.
My middle is definitely a hole, or maybe it's a stone, pit.
Yeah.
My in describes what belongs to a woman alone.
Tur?
No, just think of a pronoun.
Her.
Her.
Jew pit her.
I see.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
I think with a couple of these, you guys got it based off of the full word clue.
So maybe if I were smarter, I would have just not given you the full word clue to begin with.
and then made you go through the parts, yeah.
I will say I appreciate that there's two ends to start from,
that you can kind of like attack it from either side.
So I do really like that there's options.
Yeah, have we done things like that before?
We have, but it's been a minute.
Yeah.
Maybe it was 2019 the last time we did them.
Who knows?
But thank you so much, Ed, for submitting.
All right.
I want to get to one that, okay,
I thought this is kind of hard,
and I didn't want it to be the one that we like,
started with because I thought, oh, this is
a little hard. But I think
that now that we're
into it, you guys could get it, okay?
Cool. This is from Michael
Short, who said I could use their full name
in New York. I guess I said
in Y. I'm assuming that's New York.
Michael says,
You are sick and have been
prescribed a very exacting
medication regimen. You have two
pill bottles. One says pill A
one says pill B.
Every day, you must take one
pill of A and one pill of B. You must be careful. Taking two or more Bs can have unpleasant
and side effects or even death. In order for the B to even work, it must be accompanied by the
A. So you can only take one A and only take one B, okay, and you can't do more. You open up the
clearly labeled A bottle, tap the bottle, and one A pill drops into your hand. Then you open up
the B bottle, tap it, and you accidentally get two Bs falling out of the bottle. You can't.
into your hand.
You now have three pills.
Honey not terio bees?
And they're stinging you and you're dead.
If the answer to this is going to be two bees or not two bees?
Oh, Adel, and you have the rest of the day off, my friend.
What?
No, you're right.
I already gave you a riddle off.
I can't do it again just for a great joke.
Okay, so you now have three pills in your hand and they all look exactly the same.
They're all blue, the same size, and there are no markings of any kind on any of them.
as soon as the pills fell into your hand,
they got mixed up and you cannot tell which is which, okay?
But you know that there's one A and two B's in there.
Of course, you can just throw the pills away and start over,
but with health care in America,
the pills cost $1,000 a piece.
So how can you make sure that you get your daily
and non-fatal dose of A and B
without wasting any of the pills or your $1,000?
This is why I wanted to save this one for the end
because it's kind of a thinker, I would say.
And just before we do the work,
is this one where it's like,
there's a legit, like,
you fill up this cone with 10 milligrams
and then dump it into the 20 milligram
and then from there,
is it like that kind of thing,
or is it going to be like,
is it going to be like a sort of trick answer?
It's more of the first thing
than the trick answer.
Like you're like,
oh, you take the bee and it flies away.
It's like, it's not that.
It's more of that.
You see what you saw on that whole shit.
Yeah.
Yeah, but you don't kind of have to do a lot of the, like, measuring or whatever.
It's, yeah.
But yes, you're more on the right track with the first version.
So, Aaron, if you were to take a random pill, it's like a 33.33 repeating chance.
And then with the last pill, it's a 50-50.
Is this like a, not prices, right?
What's the, the Monty Hall problem?
Mm.
That's when they would all kind of dress.
up in like women's clothing and play silly characters in Camelot or whatever?
I am the knight who says me.
I'm Monty Hol.
Can you read it again?
I'm going to write stuff down this time.
Okay.
Basically in your hand, you have one A pill and two B pills, but they all look exactly the same.
You can only take one A and one B.
You cannot take two of the Bs or it could be very disastrous to you.
So without throwing them away and starting again, how do you ensure that?
that you're only taking one A and one B.
For the sake of solving, do both A.
Which is what we're here for.
Do A and B taste the same?
Interesting.
Yes.
They are the same color and everything.
They look identical.
I know they look identical.
I just want to ask if the taste is the same.
Yes, they don't.
Let's say that they have no properties that would give you any discernible difference.
You won't get it from like tasting or whatever.
yes. Does one of them do something specific and so you can wait to see if it has like that side effect?
I love that question. No. There's no, it's, you have to take them both at the same time. So there's no way to like,
wait for a side effect. But that is a great question. I will say the answer to this involves a thing.
And I've taken pills before, various medications, vitamins, things like that. This involves a thing
that I know about, but I have never done, except for my dog at one point. I did it,
I did it for my dog at one point when they used to take a medication that they no longer take.
Put it in peanut butter? Put it in your butt. God. Oh, my God. Cut it in half.
Aaron. You cut it in half. Okay. Well, can you, but how, but how can we, how can, how does that
help us? You cut them. Oh, go ahead. No, go ahead. After you. Aaron.
It was your idea.
You cut them in thirds.
Oh, you were right on the money with half.
Half.
Okay.
Okay.
So, how did that help us?
There's one thing that you have to do before you cut them in half.
If you're cutting them in half is the first step.
You have to separate them.
You take them all out.
Okay.
Wait, what?
No.
Take them all out.
Take all three out of the bottle and cut them in half.
Yes, but they're all in your hand.
You have three loose pills in your hand, one A and two B's.
Cut them all in half.
Okay.
But make sure they stay with their half.
Okay.
So you can keep track of...
Sure.
And then you take...
No.
There's something you have to...
Adel, do you know, there's something you have to do before you cut them all in half.
Pray?
Let's see. I'll give you a hint.
There's an imbalance in them, right?
right now.
Do you have to mark them?
No, not mark them, but there's only one A and two B's right now.
So you take one of them?
You take another A out of the bottle.
Oh, I didn't know we could do that.
If you take another A out of the bottle,
then if you cut them in half and have four of the halves.
Yep.
That's smart.
But then that's, yeah, that's, yeah, that's it.
Wow, that's a good one.
Yes.
So if you cut, if you cut all the pills in half, you take another A out of the bottle and cut all the pills in half, you'll have, and you take four of those pills, you are sure to take one A and one B because if you, as long as you're, you know, not keeping the new ones separated and marking them as you go.
And then save the other ones for the next day and you'll have an exact, you know, four A's and one A and one B from the four different half pieces.
It's a half-pieces rental.
I'm glad we didn't do that one first thing in the morning because I think Aaron probably would have killed me if I...
Still early for me.
I don't.
Still before noon.
And I have what they call sympathy for you, Aaron?
What they call.
I can't.
It's not empathy because it's not that early for me right now.
It's almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
But sympathy is there.
Sympathy is there.
I do want to see a scene.
Aaron, you are a chef in a kitchen.
And basically, like, Adel and I are your like sous chefs.
The orders have gotten, like, fucked up for today's supply.
But you're having us fix it by just cutting everything at half.
Great.
Okay, everybody, we are behind.
And I don't mean walking behind you.
I mean we are behind on these orders.
Let's see.
Oh, chef.
Can we use a different word?
We are fucked, I guess.
And I don't mean what you guys do after these shifts in the alleyway.
You've seen that, chef?
Yes, we got cameras everywhere.
All right, what if we just start?
I know that we're sort of like a classic pub-style restaurant.
Chef, have you seen any of us stealing trash?
Yep.
Stealing trash, eating trash, digging through the trash.
Someone's using trash to make art.
That's sort of the most depressing of all of them.
me.
Hey.
Um, and I just think, like, what if we rebrand really quickly and we become one of those
fancy restaurants where the proportions are so small that have like a little bit of sauce
on the plate and then a little something?
Because then we can cut our burgers.
It can be like a deconstructed burger where we take one eighth of each burger, put it on
a plate, put the sauce on.
But everyone's sort of shifting nervously because now you found out I have cameras.
Well, chef, I was just thinking this is a portillo, so it's like a chain restaurant.
So would people
Put an accent
A goo over one of the letters
That seems like the least expensive thing
People think it's a different entity
A little fancier
Portillo
Sure
Like tortillas
Anyone want to make
Anyone want to make eye contact with me
I'm hearing about the cameras?
No, chef
I didn't think so
All right
Can you see our faces
For the people that are stealing the trash?
Yeah, it's pretty clear
We also have very distinctive
tattoos so even if I couldn't see your faces I'd be able to identify you in multiple different ways.
Yes. Chef, I have a question. Yes. Not complaining about any of my coworkers. We're a team,
but there's a bit of an overcooked situation going on, Chef, where a lot of us are just grabbing
one ingredient at a time where we could clearly sort of grab a couple. Yeah, and some of you are
getting hit by cars trying to bring the plates out to the customers. Can everyone be a little bit more
careful? Everyone looks at the recant in the wheelchair.
Yeah.
Chef, could we maybe put like a speed limit in the drive-thru?
Because that might be part of it as well.
No, no, no.
We're never going to do that.
We're not going to do that.
Heard chef.
Heard chef.
We're never going to do that.
A refrigerator just came whizzing by here.
Was that this episode?
No.
No, chef.
Fuck.
Fuck!
But chef.
I hope that Dave Matthews listens to that left.
Are I fired?
Yes.
Sorry, chef.
Take your trash art and go.
Sorry, Diane.
for his own hat.
I'm going to become an artist.
And Dave Matthews will never listen to the last episode.
He hit that raccoon in a wheelchair with his hat.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm sorry, the wind blew it, the wind blew it.
All right, well, thank you again for everyone who submit those riddles.
And again, I've put this challenge on the show before.
If I read your riddle from 2019 and you still have the email that you sent to
us reply back to it. I would love to hear back from some of these people from 2019 to let me know that they're still in the world.
Okay. Well, you know what? This is a great segue because now we can go to one of my absolute favorite, absolute favorite segments on the show. And it's the one where I say, Casey, do we have a voicemail theme?
Hot dog.
Hot dog.
Hot dog.
It's a brand new day.
What you're waiting for?
Oh my God.
I'm stretched out.
Stop on the floor.
Hot dog.
Yay.
That was, they might be giants with hot diggity dog.
Waffle says this is probably fair use.
And honestly, whatever.
Who cares?
It's enough.
It's enough of a transformation.
Thank you, Waffle, for sending that in.
If you want to send it in a, um,
And like we've just shown you, they can be anything.
A voicemail theme, 30 seconds or less, HRR podcast at gmail.com.
Casey, do you have a voicemail?
Hi, Adel, Aaron, JPC, Casey, and possibly Janet.
I am a big fan of yours from the UK, and I have pet tarantulas.
Actually great pets.
Over the last year, I have had parcel thieves steal a package of live food from me
that contained 100 live cockroaches.
Related question, is there a moment in your life that you would love to have been a fly on the wall?
Love you guys.
I am dazzled.
Wow.
Yeah, when that person opened that package, that would be a true delight to see the look on their face.
I am in love with the term parcel thieves.
It just sounds, it just sounds so much more.
Great improv team name.
Packaged thief, you know.
We are the parcel thieves.
Um, hmm.
I would say when I was younger, my family moved around quite a bit.
So I went to like six different schools in five years or something.
But at one of the schools where I was newer to, someone kept stealing my lunch because we just keep our lunch in the back of the class and someone would take out like what they wanted and left the rest.
And after like a week and a half or two weeks of that, my mom and I was probably like eight or something.
my mom took, she always gave me a fruit roll-up,
which is just if you don't have them in the UK,
just a very pounded flat sheet of sugary fruit flavor.
And she soaked it overnight in hot sauce
and then rolled it back up and put it back in the package.
And then someone took my lunch or took the fruit roll up at some point
that following week and then never took my lunch again.
And I would have loved to see that kid or it.
teacher,
yeah,
or principal,
vice principal,
bite into that and be like,
what the fuck is wrong with this?
And then have a panic moment.
That's,
yeah,
that's,
oh, man,
that's a good fly-on-the-wall moment.
I,
my brain,
I don't know why I can't think of one.
My brain more like wants to go back
and see crazy things I did get to see once.
Yeah.
Like if I had a wish,
there's like certain,
like,
wipeouts and funny falls
and little miracles.
that I've seen, that it would be so fun to go back and get to re-watch one of those.
Or, you know, there's that time my sister army crawled on the ground when I was having a
sleepover with my friend because she knew the scary story that my friend was telling.
Yeah.
And she weighed until the exact right moment and popped out and scared us so much that one
of us peed and one of us cried and she had to go home.
And if I could watch that, I would, I could die happy.
I think about all the times I farted in an elevator and then gotten off and watched a crowd of people get on.
All the time.
Man, I also think it would be very funny in your mind to be like, wow, those bastards that stole my package got a hundred live cockroaches.
And then it cuts to the parcel thieves.
And it's like three human-sized spiders that they're like, oh, jackpot.
We eating good today, brothers.
I also, I don't think that this person left their name,
but they said that they have tarantulas and tarantulas are good pets.
What do we all think about that?
Glad someone is loving them because I don't have it in me,
but yeah, that sounds scary to me.
If you're going to have, I despise spiders.
No offense.
But if you're going to have a spider's a pet,
tarantula feels like the most,
because it's the one, I don't know if this makes sense,
because it's big enough that you can kind of
keep track of it.
Track of it, yeah.
I think that's the one spider.
Like, if I went somewhere and someone put one on my hand or something, I'd be like,
I wouldn't be comfortable, but I'd be like, fine.
Any other spider in the world you put on the back of my hand, I think I'm flipping out.
For sure.
Yeah.
I like spiders.
So I see a spider in my house.
I'm like, do your thing, King.
Like, we love you here.
Welcome.
If I see a big ass spider, I'm like, okay, I got to keep my eye on you.
Well, that's different.
If it's loose in your house, I don't want.
You know, one of those camel, whatever those are called camel spiders.
I also think I have to like, I don't know enough about spiders to know which ones are the ones that like can kill you.
So I'm like, if I saw a, but I know it's like usually bigger ones.
You're throwing the spider out with the bathwater is what you're saying.
I also know.
And hey, if this is true and I just, I'm ignorant, let that be, you know, I'm the first to admit that that is possible.
But I can't imagine like, looking at my dog, I'm like, my dog loves me, loves me.
looking at a spider and being like, yeah, this spider loves me.
I'm like, I don't know.
I don't know about that.
That's a good point.
Does it?
Is it?
Does it?
I don't know.
I give it flies.
I know that's part of the relationship, but does it love me?
I'm not really.
I can not tell you.
But either way, thank you for leaving us the voicemail.
That was awesome.
What are we plug in?
Oh, one big plug for, it's April the Penguins.
We all know.
We got new merch from Ariel Sinha, five new teams.
They're fucking awesome.
Check it out in our dashery.
story. You can find the link in the episode description.
And then, Erin, what do you have to plug?
I will plug
Gumshoes and Dragons. We're having a lot of fun over there,
having fun on the Patreon as well.
Adel, we just recorded a one shot that he hosted
that I had a blast doing.
So just come and hang out over there if it suits you fancy.
Adel, anything to plug.
I want to plug the switch,
and I'm assuming it's on other systems,
game overcooked.
Now, you're a bunch of little animal chefs
tried to fulfill orders
and chaos ensues.
Sometimes you get hit by cars.
Sometimes you get by a car.
Sometimes you're on a boat and the boat keeps rocking left to right
and everything keeps sliding around the ship.
It's a game to play with people that either
you'd ever want to see again or you trust them implicitly
and you can survive yelling.
Yeah.
But overcooked, very good time.
Yeah, if you want to test all of your relationships,
download Overcooked.
You want to kick the tires on your marriage.
play overcook.
Yeah, if you want to kick the tires on your marriage.
Hey, I want to plug leaving a review for the show.
First of all, I just want to thank everybody that leaves reviews.
It's always nice when you do, even if I don't pick yours to read.
But I read five-star reviews, and today I'm going to read one from My Cat Beelzebob,
and it's called My Dog is So Well Trained Now.
This is such a great podcast.
The co-hosts are also experienced in the advice they give is top-notch.
I start out with a lazy Labrador that always barked at the door, would eat off the
encounters and wouldn't come when called.
Now, I still have a lazy Labrador, but he only eats food off the floor now, mostly,
doesn't bark at the door about 50% of the time, and at least looks at me when I call his name,
the coming when called Distillow Work in Progress.
I will say the guests are a bit random, and I'm not entirely sure what they have to do
with dog training or animal behavior, but still 10 out of 10.
The title of the podcast might seem a bit misleading, but trust me, this is the best
animal behavioral dog training podcast around.
Wow, I mean, I got to agree.
I love it. Thank you. I agree.
You and that dog both come on called
because you answer the phone.
Who is it?
And you know what that dog reminds me of?
Hey, Adel, before you get there, Adel,
take the rest of the podcast off, buddy.
Wait, there's three for three.
Three for three, you deserve it. You deserve it.
There's three more seconds, hot dogs.
Unbelievable.
One, two.
One, two, three, four, hey, read.
