Hey Riddle Riddle - #410: Babu Friks & Geeks

Episode Date: May 27, 2026

Babu Frik is a small Anzellan droidsmith from Star Wars: The Rise of the Skylwalker, known for his ability to reprogram droids and his memorable catchphrase "Hey!". Voiced by Shirley Henderso...n, he became a fan favorite for his unique voice and personality. Originally, the tiny Anzellan was intended to perish when the Final Order destroyed the planet Kijimi. However, after J.J. Abrams screened an early cut for Steven Spielberg, Spielberg specifically asked what happened to the character, leading the crew to edit Babu into the climactic Battle of Exegol as a Y-wing pilot alongside Zori Bliss.

Starting point is 00:00:01 This is a headgum podcast. So I'm just filling out this survey. It will only take a second of your time. On a scale of 1 to 10, how satisfied are you with Hey, Riddle, Riddle? One being, this place stinks. 10 being, oh my gosh, I'm having the best time. I'm sorry. I guess I'm not truly understanding the scale.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Could you give me an example of what like a 4 would be? A 4 would be like, I mean, we're recording today and like it should be pretty good. It should be, but no, no, I'm really not in the mood to do riddles. Okay, yeah, that's not my experience. What about a seven? Because maybe I'm like splitting the difference on the wrong side of the scale. Right, right, of course.
Starting point is 00:01:18 A seven is like, like, it looks like these guys have had their coffee today. I feel like we're going to have an okay time. Oh, fuck, I forgot we have to do riddles. Okay, yeah, I'm truly not getting it. Just give me two, three, five, six, eight, and nine, and then I'll be good. How about just one syllable sounds? Does that work for both of you?
Starting point is 00:01:39 Dad, is mom at the door? Is that mom? Maybe new mom. I'm playing my cards exactly right. Uno reverse. Ow! He just threw an Udo card right between my eyes. That hurt.
Starting point is 00:01:51 Moshire. Two is, ugh. Three is, uh, four is, oh no, I already did four. Five is. Uh-huh. Huh. Six is, eh. Eight is.
Starting point is 00:02:04 Is it better than her? Yeah, of course. Are you insane? First day on Earth? I'm not insane. I'm, you know, Gambit. Nine is, oh. Huh.
Starting point is 00:02:18 What number can I put down? Your phone number? I guess I... Holy shit. Son, she's hitting on me. It did work. More than me. Forget it.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Forget it. Forget it, guys. We're just, we're just going to record. episode. I'm tired of knocking on doors. Yeah. I'm tired of knocking on doors too and the person who said that is named JPC. Hmm. Big drink out of air? Nope. The person who played the sun in the scene, you're not going to believe this. It was a grownup. That's howl over bye. Whoa. And then, of course,
Starting point is 00:02:56 Unogambit. Adapted for the screen by J. Bizzley. Adapted for the screen. And that's kind of what we're doing. We're adapting this for your screen. I'm assuming that everybody's watching or listening to podcasts the way that I watch it on YouTube, even though it's not a video feed. So you're just watching a blank YouTube screen while the podcast is playing. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:22 That's how our fans engage. I wouldn't even know how to do that. I wouldn't even know. I do think that there's probably a way, right? Because YouTube has like YouTube music, right? Or something? Whoa. Did they dip their toes in the music game?
Starting point is 00:03:35 Look, I know that when I upload podcast feeds, sometimes I get things from YouTube that says your podcast has successfully been uploaded to YouTube, even though I have never done a video podcast in my entire life. So somehow, I think you can listen to this show on YouTube. So obviously podcasts start off as an audio medium. They are now very popular for them to be a visual medium. That's more like an audio small. Uh-oh, another episode of audio small. Audio small audio Where do we think this is headed?
Starting point is 00:04:11 Back to audio Yeah I mean There's podcasts on Netflix now So we've sort of podcasts are just TV again Like we keep doing like the evolution From radio to TV over and over again Yeah yes I feel like we should
Starting point is 00:04:28 Every medium shouldn't advance to TV Because hey some of those What are those the fable games with the wolf detective? Oh, yeah. Those popular games. Yeah, fable game. Yeah, I know the name of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:43 But it's like video games have now turned into TV where it's like all cut screens. The wolf among us. Thank you, Casey. Oh, yes. Very fun game, but at the same time, you have very little autonomy. It's just become a TV episode. Everything's becoming TV. How do we have?
Starting point is 00:04:58 I would love it if our show signed a deal with Netflix, you know, whatever. we go exclusive on Netflix, and people are like scrolling through Netflix, and they're like, what the fun? Like, I agree that we... That's not Pete David's too. We should be devaluing everything. We should be making everyone's experiences worse.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Hey, Brittle-Britz specifically should be devaluing the medium. Okay. The people who are scrolling through Netflix podcast and be like, I want to watch a podcast on Netflix, that cannot be the same person that would find our show and be like, oh, good. Hubba, hubba. I love this.
Starting point is 00:05:32 I... Like, I like getting to not look good. Like, it's a classic saying of, like, you got a face for radio. And I'll say something. I think we, this is the part where we say something, right? We have to say something like nice or something. No. The window is closing on them to say.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Oh, right. Chew a cat. That's exactly what I was testing you for doing. So you have to take care of this now. Well, that is not a cat. That is a very sick something, but not a cat. Well, possums are cats famously. I make myself pretty for you, Aaron.
Starting point is 00:06:04 You're not, you know what? Yeah, I mean, you look gorgeous this morning. You're pretty for me. But like video killed the radio star. In order to be a big podcaster, now you have to be hot again. Excuse me. I don't like this. I like the music days back where like someone's like, hello, baby.
Starting point is 00:06:24 And you're like, that guy could look like anything. Sounds like one guy. Well, the big bopper, of course. Bopper. Check Popper. Chet Popper. Tom Hanks' son, Chet Popper. But I like the days where you put on a song and you're like, I don't know what this person looks like.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Yeah. They could be anything. And now it's like, I have to look at a guy eating hot wings for two hours. Yeah, you have to. And you were telling me you think we should all put on suits when we go on airplanes again, too, right? I feel like we've become real relaxed as a kind of. Put on your Sunday best. Can I do my stand?
Starting point is 00:07:01 Act like you're going to church. Yeah, blue. We used to put on suits to fly on an airplane, and now we're all putting on suits to watch on an airplane. Now, this is a joke. This will only work seven years ago. Okay, so. But if it's ever seven years ago again.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Time travel, stand up. Okay, okay, new character. All right, let's do it. Let's play time definitely stand up. Okay, great. I like the idea of going further in time and trying to relate and failing. Okay, so we're doing time traveling stand-up.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Okay, well, yeah, here's my thing with time traveling and stand-up. Yes. Do you think, Adel, you would be better as a forward time-traveling stand-up or a backward time-traveling stand-up? I think backward. Forward's a challenge, though. Forward's more of a challenge, but you could... Ford is just how stand-ups have to write their stand-up. Right now.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Like if they have a set tomorrow night, that it's forward, isn't it? Oh, Aaron, all standup is in the future. That's what I'm sorry. Holy shit. So yeah, you walk on stage, you're like, can you believe Walmart? And people were like, Walmart just went under. And we're like, oh, shit. Shit, I'm ruined.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Shuff us through my cards. Oh, God. My whole stand-up bit was about how successful Walmart is. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. I'm a good stand-up. So time-traveling stand-up. Yeah. Let's see. Do you want...
Starting point is 00:08:35 Send me to go first. Send me to a year. Or, Aaron, we're going to send you to a year. Great. I'm ready. Okay, Aaron, time-traveling stand-up. Let's send you to Summer of Love. What is that? 68.
Starting point is 00:08:47 69, baby. 69 or 68? I can't remember which one it is. But either way, Aaron. 68, Summer of Love. Okay. So let me just crack this possum and half and just drink from the bottom half, Aaron,
Starting point is 00:08:58 and this will send you. Back in time. Oh, that's what you thought the bottom half of a possum was. I would have said the other half. Interesting. Oh, turns gone. Hey, everybody. Thanks so much for coming over here.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Yeah, man. Thanks for being here. I got a couple questions for the group. These are just two things that are of equal importance in my mind right now. Number one. How many more Kennedys do you think we're going to lose to assassination? What? Number two.
Starting point is 00:09:34 When do we think deodorant's going to sort of have a big boom? Huh? That's my time. That's all our time, man. This is all our time, man. Appreciate dying Keaton while you've got her. That's my time. What?
Starting point is 00:09:53 We probably got another 45 years. That's what I'm saying, but appreciate it. Try not to go to the Vietnam War if you can. That shit sounds awful. Are there any celebrities that are going to die earlier to die at Keaton in 45 years? Don't tell me Woody Allen dies, man. You wish. I don't even think he's famous yet.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Oh, oh, oh, oh. He's a writer for Sid Caesar's your show of shows. I didn't drink enough of the possum. I'm out of here. I was going to tell you to maybe save the Beatles, but. Oh, that's the worst one you... Have you guys been to the moon yet? Anyways.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You don't drink enough in the bossom. Boopo, bo bo bo bo bo bo. You guys, I'm back and I crushed, and there's no way for you to check. Whoa, Aaron, that's funny because JBC and I already went back in time and did ours. Oh, well, how to go? Great. JBC was in the Wild West. He did get shot in the stomach.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Cool. Just the stomach, though. Missed everything important. And I went back to, uh, 2023. Oh, that doesn't feel like far enough. If you ever go into the Wild Wild West era and you're doing stand-up, they really do not. Wicke, wicket. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Maybe it makes sense, but they really did not like my white people drive like this, black people drive like this, because they were like. Horse rain. Well, it would have been smart to do horses. You just pretended to ride horses two different ways. I had to explain cars to them, which. Did they get scared? If I had Taylor made it to their thing, oh, God, well, I'm not going back. It's just not worth it.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Nope. No, I'm going back. I'm going to 2012. I got a Mitt Romney binders filled with women joke that I think's going to crash. For that to be a soundbite from not too long ago and then for all the sound bites we have now, boy, oh boy. I know. What a world, but this is a world of riddles. Which I love.
Starting point is 00:11:54 What a segue. A world of riddles. Can you imagine? the Disney ride. Can I ask you guys a question? Now I don't even remember what it was that I saw. But sometimes I guess you'll just be like watching TV
Starting point is 00:12:08 or a movie or something and someone will bring up riddles in the show or in the universe of the thing. Do you ever get like a little, I don't know what it would be, maybe like a spike of anxiety where it's like... It's like seeing an ex.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Yeah, it's like something. Exactly, Aaron. It's exactly like seeing an ex. that's why I feel like when I see a Sudoku because I'm like I've I haven't been touching crosswords or Shodoku's like I've been I've been on lateral thinking puzzles clean from Sudoku's
Starting point is 00:12:39 it does always always trip me up when that happens where I'm like a riddle my work my work life and my home life they're blending you also like I feel an intense pressure to get it right if I'm ever crossing a riddle or doing like a puzzle in real life
Starting point is 00:12:57 because people are like, isn't that your whole brand? I'm like, no, no, no. If you listen to the show, you'd know that being bad at it is the brand. This past Saturday, I went to a birthday party and the birthday boy wanted like a riddle or a fun fact as a gift. And so I brought a riddle book. Who is this kid?
Starting point is 00:13:18 His name's Sean Marr. He's really nice. He's a good guy. Don't knock it until you try it. But I hung out with some people who were going to the party before. And so I was just reading them some of the riddles. And it was very validating how immediately they flipped into a rage. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:13:35 And they were like, it's not, that's a joke. That's not a riddle. And I'm like, yeah, guys, this is what, why do you think I'm so mad all the time? That's my secret cap. I've done that before where people are like, well, give me a, because they hear what I do and they're like, give me a riddle. I'm like, I guess my favorite's like, it's the cabin in the woods thing. Yeah. Where it's like there's a, you know, and people are like, well, you didn't say, you made it sound like an airplane.
Starting point is 00:13:58 But he didn't direct. Sorry, it's a cabinet of an airplane. And people are like, you made it sound like a cabin in the woods. And I'm like, oh, that's the thing. That's what a riddle is. But they're like, you made us believe it was like a house. And it's an airplane. And I'm like, well, that's.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I would start to choke that person. There's the rub. The thing that you don't like is the thing that a riddle is. And I agree. I don't like it either. But that's what it is. You haven't seen what I've seen. You don't know pain.
Starting point is 00:14:25 Like I know pain. It's like eating at a Boston market. You sit down and go, huh. So it's like a Thanksgiving dinner. It's like a normal restaurant meal. You're like, that's what it is. Thanksgiving bake beans. And Aaron is just like,
Starting point is 00:14:39 was that like Liza Minnelli is like a Sith Lord? You don't know pain like I know pain? Mm-hmm. Okay. Hold on. Everything's coming. I guess that's a little Mormon. Which Mandalorian and Grogu?
Starting point is 00:14:50 Huh? How do we feel, guys? Are we watching it? Is it out yet? It's probably out. By the time this comes out, it's probably out. I don't know. The one thing that I would see the movie for, I'll probably see it eventually when it comes to streaming.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah. The one thing I would see it in theaters for is the trailer made it seem like there is a whole community of Babu Fricks. I thought Babu Frick was one of a kind. Is that what it's called like a murder of crows, a community of Bubba Frick? Hold on. I love that. It's a Kianti of Fricks. Because Babu freak's Italian, right?
Starting point is 00:15:24 That's an Italian alien. Yeah. Well, okay, guys, I don't know. No, let's do it. Let's do what the nationalities of all of the aliens from Star Wars are. Let's start. Wado. Who wants to go?
Starting point is 00:15:34 Who wants to do Wada? Annie. Do you think Cassie and Andor is going to be in this new Star Wars TV show? If not, I'm not interested. Is there a new Star Wars TV show? This is, I'm, I've only heard about Bata Laureate and Grocombs. That's the news I'm on is. still like the current news. What's the future news with Star Wars?
Starting point is 00:15:55 No, I'm saying that the thing that you're talking about. It's a movie. Oh, that's movie. Do you think that Cassie and Andrew is in it? Yeah, but it'll be like, he goes into a bar and somebody bumps him and he's like, oh, excuse me. And it'll be him. Like, it'll be that kind of like a little Easter egg where people go, versus a scene or anything. Right. But it's his character from Etubamabian. It's not even. It's his character from Dirty Dancing Havana, Havana, I, JPC, can I say something and you have to promise to not get mad? Aaron?
Starting point is 00:16:29 You have my solid vow! I'm looking at pictures of Babu Frick. Okay. Hey, so far? Not even close to mad. I'm not at that. I'm mad at you looking at pictures of Babu Frick. And I'm thinking that if I were...
Starting point is 00:16:43 If I were to cast you to voice a Star Wars type alien, I think I would have it be one. one that looks like this. But, okay, that's, that's Aaron. That's one of the more kind of things that you've ever said to me, and I don't deserve that. The Babu Frick's voice, though, I just don't think is in my, you think that I would do.
Starting point is 00:17:04 I don't know what Babu Frick sounds like, so I'm coming in completely blind. Aaron, is this possible? Did you never see Star Wars? Aaron. Nine? Was it episode nine where they introduced Babu Freak? Aaron Darling, one of the great joys in life.
Starting point is 00:17:17 Chocolate. Chocolate. Cider. What a, what a, I think I saw that movie and I have no memory of what that voice. Did you say chocolate already? Chocolate's good. Chocolate.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Cider, too. Cider as well. Aaron, there's a little, I want to say a little mechanic who lives in, I want to say the walls. And who sounds like. I want to say Babu freak. I would have said Babu freak. It's the Babu freaking weekend. Aaron, you got to listen to a little clip of the book.
Starting point is 00:17:45 I'm looking it up. Here we go. I can't believe, Aaron, that you have no, because if you, I don't remember. anything from episode nine. Right? Was it episode nine that he was in? I think, I believe so. But the thing that I do remember is Babu Freak. Like, that's the one thing I remember. I remember this character, but I don't remember the voice. I'm listening to it now. Okay. Okay. Aaron live listening to Babu freak. He was in the one with the Casino Planet, right? And the be and the Babu Brick sounds like this. It does sound pretty Italian.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Let's see. Let me go into Babu Frick's IMDB and see. Oh, my God. Babu Frike does not have an IMDB. He, that means the only movie he was ever in was the Star Wars movie. That's sad for him. Well, I mean, there's not a lot else. You can't see him in like beef or something.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Beef. Why not? O'Brien. Opposite. Well, I guess Oscar Isaac was in Star Wars. Babu Frick is on season five of the bear. They're going to do another like Thanksgiving episode or whatever. Ah, behind.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Behind. Who voices Babu Frick? It's got to be someone. It's played by Shirley Henderson in Star Wars Rise of Skywalker, which I believe is the last one, episode nine. Is that the lady who does the minions? Shirley Henderson is a Scottish actress. She's moaning Myrtle.
Starting point is 00:19:08 She's in British Jones' diary, yep. The lady who sounds 12? Yeah. That's a real voice, right? It's like a Yardley Smith situation? Yeah, I guess so. Situation makes it out. Adel, what Star Wars alien would you want a voice?
Starting point is 00:19:26 I think one of the Jawa's. Oh, that would be good. Yeah. Because they're like, they always have very explosive one-word responses where they're like, Oootini. Oh, God, I would love a wootini right now. I know it's been like a wootenia.
Starting point is 00:19:44 You two years inside had a jawa? You guys being Jawa who are fighting and shoving each other would be very funny. Oh, Timi. And I'm your little pork friend. Yeah, Aaron, what alien would you be voicing? I mean, I know that porgs don't talk,
Starting point is 00:19:58 but the level of anxiety in their eyes are, is like, it speaks to me. They might not talk, Aaron, but one can imagine that they groan and grunt when they make love. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I hate you so much.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Casey, can you hit play on that? Oh. Yeah, we don't listen to a bit a lot of that audio. It's Claire Dalloon while some borgs. Some borgs get down. Adelike up are not at all. JPC, I think I'm jinxing this. I feel like I haven't been giving you much fodder for the end of your soundboard this year.
Starting point is 00:20:32 And I'm really proud of that. I'm pretty careful. Oh. Not that's what you feel? That's something that you think. That's something I believe. Aaron, do you mind voicing a gungon? Just so we can hear what that was on like?
Starting point is 00:20:44 What? Which one's a gungin? Oh, Erin. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Hold on, hold on. I forgot that he was a gungan. Yeah, fucking right.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Which one's a gungin? Yeah, goddamn right. How about, um, a pasta. Ooh, pretty Italian. I can't believe they did that. Do you think that they, we've talked,
Starting point is 00:21:07 we talked this to death. We don't need to talk about. The voice. The George, what George Lucas did to those movies. Yeah. Okay, I know there's a lot of Star Wars discourse, especially with Mandalorian popping off,
Starting point is 00:21:19 but it is so funny to think that all those prequel movies, one, two, and three came out, and people were so disillusioned with, like, George Lucas's choices, and George Lucas was so dissolutions that he sold everything off to Disney. And the Disney made three worse movies. It was like, it's such a crazy chain of events that were like, oh, yeah, these...
Starting point is 00:21:39 It's like, give us the keys to the Cadillac, Grandpa. You can't drive anymore. And then they immediately rammed to the back. Back back. They pull out of the driveway and hit a tree. It's so fucking funny to be. And then they're walking out daze and they're like, Grandpa, please get back into the driver's seat.
Starting point is 00:21:55 Grandpa, come back. The absolute arrogance that they revved the engine, they put on sunglasses. They put the top down on the car. They went, see you, you fuck. I've been watching you drive this car since I was a kid. I think I know how it handles slam. I got it. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:22:13 You take it your grandpa's Cadillac And then three people Trying to drive in different directions At the same time JJ Abrams is like I've been thinking about this for 20 years I think I'm gonna nail it slam Oh my God it hurts
Starting point is 00:22:27 Meanwhile and or hums by In an electric version of a Cadillac Yeah Being like hey suckers They're driving one of those Chinese electrics And they're like oh man I guess that's the future Right go back huh?
Starting point is 00:22:39 See at the ball losers $20,000 huh? Okay cool well Fuck me Let's do some riddles. You know what, DPC? I never fucking thought of that. That is so funny.
Starting point is 00:22:48 Oh, man, that really tickled me. I'm ready for riddles. See, now I'm at, I'm going to answer my own survey. I am at A-9. Okay. Only took 25 minutes to get you there, but hey, who's got it? It always takes me 25 minutes and get me there. If we could just go ahead and insert the porn fucking sounds.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Oh, no. If we could just start every episode with a little bit of time travel and a little Babu-Frick. And a little chocolate or cider. Here we go. And some Bobbufred. I want to talk about me. Want to talk about my. I want to talk about Boba Frick.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Oh, me, oh, my. Can you imagine Toby Keith and Babu Frick just fishing? Tobu Keith. To bea Keith. Keith. Can you imagine Tobu Keeh and Keith Bufrik? Oh, God. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:36 A countrified, deep fried. Babu Frick. Now, I'm hungry. People almost don't deserve how good. Now I'm hungry. This is a riddles and puzzles podcast. Riddles and puzzles podcast. This is a Babu frick podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Here we go. What three-letter word can you put every other letter into? What three-letter word can you put every other letter into? Envelope. Oh, ask. You can put anything up your ass if you practice. If you live close enough to a hospital. How do you get to ask Carnegie Hall?
Starting point is 00:24:12 10,000 hours. 10,000 hours. Malcolm Gladwell. What three-letter word can you put every other letter into? Now, Aaron, you are on the right track with envelope in that it's maybe we're talking about letters. We're not talking about the alphabet. Maybe we're talking about physical mail. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:32 What three-letter word can you put every other letter into? I can't believe it's not ass. I can't believe it's not butter. I want to see a commercial for JPC's version. They had to cut those. Okay, so it's a three-letter word that you could put every other letter into. Oh, fuck me. ABC.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Oh. Right, the ABCs? No. I do like that. That's pretty good, though, right? That is pretty good. J.BC can have a seat. What the...
Starting point is 00:25:01 Can I share a brief anecdote from my life? My kid recognizes letters, but they... And they recognize, like, words as the ABCs, but they don't know which letters are which yet. They're, you know, two and a half. But the other day we were doing a puzzle, it was a stitch puzzle, and there was writing on the stitch puzzle. And my kids saw the writing on the puzzle, and they were like, my name. And I was like, no. No, Stitch does not know your name.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Oh, that's so cute. This is not a custom puzzle. Your name has letters. You could have let that one go. Now, wait a minute. Is Babu Frick just Stitch? I don't know it's on the same planet Stitch walks so Babu Frick could run
Starting point is 00:25:49 and neither one of them could really do that so good Stitch could probably run Stitch has six legs I think The thing about Stitch is he was never He? They? Doesn't matter They were never a puppet But Babu Freak is a puppet exclusively and running as a puppet
Starting point is 00:26:06 is like a much harder thing to do right Like that's... Oh yeah, Kermit on a bicycle? Yeah that's why like Jim Hinson is a magician because, like, Jim Hinson could make the puppets run. I don't know anything. Aaron, is that correct? Is Jim Henson the man who could make the puppets run? I'm checking my notes, and Jim Henson is a man that can make the puppets run.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Because it sounds like he was, like, keeping them in a warehouse and they had the pissing bottles and stuff. Jim Hinson loading a crossbow, you have a fair shake here. Tapping his watch, like, guys, the comedy has to be done by midnight. It's time to pay the piper. Back to work, everyone. No breaks. What three-letter word can you put into every other? And this is about physical mail.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yes, this is along the lines of envelope or where physical mail would go. What three-letter word can you put every other letter into? So even with the word male, think of a three-letter word that would pair, be a nice pairing with mail. Okay, fuck me, letter. No, that's too many. It's not ass, ma'am. Box? Box.

Okay, here you go, Todd. Just throw it on the porch. Let me just... Excuse me. No, no, no, no, no, no. Don't throw it on the porch.
Starting point is 00:27:41 I checked with my city councilor. That is a regulation mailbox, okay? And there is no rules that says that you can't design your own real synthetic ass. You still have to open the door. It's all regulation, and you have to put the mail into the synthetic ass. Thank you for your comment. I am MailTron 5,000. No way.

Do you have a problem with putting my mail? that I, by the way, get legally, okay? I'm not mailing letters to myself. You can check all the names on those are real names and real return addresses.

What is the best day to move forward? Best day. to move forward. Okay, let's think about it. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. None of these are puns. Thursday. Friday, moving forward. No. Saturday. Sunday. No.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Are there any more days of the week besides that? Are we forgetting any? There's, I, now that is the Roman days of the week. Okay. But we could do the, and just one other culture, JPC. And just one other culture. Any country. The best day, today, today. Actually, I mean, that's almost like good therapy. Right, yeah. Here's, what is it? They say the best day to plant a tree was 30 years ago. The second best day is today.
Starting point is 00:30:53 And I'm like, isn't the second best day 29 years, 363 days ago? Wouldn't today be like the next to worst day? Because like tomorrow is obviously the worst. So today has to be like, it can't be the best if 30 years ago is the best. I was always very confused. by that adage. Yeah, whenever someone cracks that adage out, I get fucking fury. So people love that because basically what they're just saying is like, plant a tree,
Starting point is 00:31:21 it's good for the environment. Teach a man to fish you feed him from a lifetime. My wife's a vegetarian. And you can't teach a wife anything, so I've been told. What is the best day to move forward? And take a page out of the Star Wars book, the aforementioned Star Wars tone. May the fourth be with you. But it's not May the Fourth, that's taken.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Okay. If you want to move forward. Spring. May 4th is taken. May 4th. Okay, okay. But there's other forts on the board. March 4th.
Starting point is 00:32:00 March 4th. Fuck me. Okay. That one's pretty good. I do want to see one quick scene before we got a break. Okay. Aaron, you are, I want to say a conductor, who leads a band in a like a marching band. Conductor.
Starting point is 00:32:14 Conductor, sure. But they have a baton instead of a little baton. Yeah. You can have a little baton as a tree. Thank you. Aaron, you're about to lead a parade for a city's bicentennial celebration. Great. But as you sort of get excited and get ready to time the march, you turn around and realize it's just JPC in the parade.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Whistle sound. Whistle sound. Whistle, whistle. One, two, three, and I'm hearing a sad tuba. What is that sad tuba? I'm turning around. I'm turning around. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:32:52 Did I miss my, did I miss my, did I miss my, I should have, should I have, I'm so sorry. Should I have started or did I miss? Where the hell is everybody? I'm sorry? Where is everybody? It's just me. What? Where?
Starting point is 00:33:07 There's 80 people in this band. One tuba? No, they reformed. well so I guess what happened was like the city I don't understand how it works like the city broke up the band and then they had to reform it then they had like they could only do 79 people you have lying eyes where are they did they quit no I swear to God this is what they told me they could only have 79 people in the new band but then they had to start like a satellite band and so they got a new band director so it's just me now in this band like you're a nice guy and you're lying to me I can tell you're trying not to hurt
Starting point is 00:33:37 my feelings they didn't want they didn't think I was good enough to start the parade and they quit they reformed another band that I was the only one that said I wouldn't leave this band without you. And they said, that's fine. We don't like you enough, Mike, to put up with Rachel for another day. So they started another band.
Starting point is 00:33:58 But I'm still here, and I still think we could do, like, you know, great things together. I think we could, yeah. This is my dream to open the parade. Absolutely no problem. Here we go. I'm just going to start over.
Starting point is 00:34:08 Hey, sorry, we're all just going to start walking. You guys stay still. No, no. We're ready. We're just going to inverse it. We're going to invert it. You stay still and we're going to walk by you. See, that doesn't make much sense. The whole, that actually is not how a parade works.
Starting point is 00:34:23 That's a reverse parade. We don't have the permits as a city to do that. Here we go. Whistle sound. Let's let him do it. Whistle sound. Let's just let him do the reverse parade thing. No, please, please.
Starting point is 00:34:33 March with your big tuba. Come on. Mike, do not abandon me. This is my dream. And yes, I went on that crazy rant last night at rehearsal. That everyone was a fucking. loser. It wasn't giving their best. And that people are also letting themselves
Starting point is 00:34:45 go physically. Everyone looks kind of ugly. I said, Carrie, would it kill you to get Botox? Would it kill you to get Botox? And she went, actually my mom got a botched Botox. That's how my mom died and I go, well, if the shoe fits. So I get why people are annoyed, but come on, ready. Let's go.
Starting point is 00:35:01 And people didn't truly even really understand what the shoe fits means in that context. That was an awesome comeback. It made a lot of sense in the context. March. You're out of context. Oh, Okay, look, I'll march, but just so you know, just as you know, this isn't a tubus, a cardboard tube, but they took the instruments as well. A tubas are like super expensive.
Starting point is 00:35:22 What was making that noise when we first? We're marching. I'm sorry, I stepped on a bird. Oh, that bird is not even dead yet. No, it's a bird. It's an ebu, so it's fine. Any bird in nature sounds like a tub, it's an emu. Folks, we're going to march to break, and we'll be right back with.

Starting point is 00:54:45 Third school in a row, it happened again. We get to the principal's office. Madeline, I feel like you're not making friends fast in school. It seems like already I've had to take you out of three classes for bullying. Why is the locker here in the meeting with me? Well, the locker says that you ran into it. Oh, the locker said I ran into it. Great.
Starting point is 00:55:13 You've been saying that the, we sent the locker home because you said the locker slammed into you. Yeah. And the locker's dad is here, actually. We tried to call your dad, but we got a very funny answering machine. So the locker's dad is just going to dress you down for a minute. Um, sir, I did not run into you. Uh, uh, uh, uh, combination. Combination.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Please. And wash your hands before you start typing in with your little dirty kid fingers all over my digits. I don't have dirty kid fingers. Your kid's dirty. I was at the fucking plant. Mining my own business, doing my job when I got a call to come pick up my son who was heartbroken. Because this is the first school he's ever been in that he fit in. to the space where they put the lockers.
Starting point is 00:56:01 And I had to come all the way down here because you lied? Yeah, being a single parent is hard. My dad goes through some of the same struggles. Oh, yeah? Maybe you guys should get a drink or something. I'd love to. I'd love to. Okay, we also found drugs in your son, so we do have to.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Me or him. Her, me, me, me, or, seen. Only in my ass. I look close to all. hospital and I practice. They got my 10,000 hours. Only in my ass. The flag was up. And Aaron, you were just saying that you
Starting point is 00:56:36 haven't given me any sound bites this year, right? That's something you said. Whoa, Aaron. I can put only in my ass right next to you saying that you've been so good all year long in the face. I knew I was fucking jinxing it. I knew if I said that. We got to move to video. We got to move to videos that people can see the face
Starting point is 00:56:52 that Aaron makes when she realizes she said. 28, 36, 24. Only if it's in My ass. Worn out spaces. Worn out faces. Wow. Eric, we're talking about ass and Aaron's talking about worn out spaces. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Get a clue. Get a clue. Okay, here's some sound bites for you. My ass is a worn out space. Are you happy? Merry Christmas, everyone. Christmas is coming up because it's the end of the year soundboard episode. Fuck this.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Don't sing the chicks wide open spaces. You can't use this clip. Now it's too long. never use it because then we'll have to hear it a bunch and then adal will pick this clip adle will pick this clip that we have to listen to this 16 times the end of the year and it won't be funny so that is how i'm buffering it and i'm making this clip too long so you won't use it errant that's just simple my darling it's simply not how clips work yes it is bit no no no no no Aaron speaking of how did your audition go to join the chicks
Starting point is 00:57:54 Um, they said I was too interested in George Bush and I was too pro George Bush to join Aaron. You just think he's funny though, right? Yeah, Addle and I have been sending each other. George, whimsical George Bush clips back and forth. And Adel, I've been finding it quite soothing. Is it clips of him being whimsical or you being whimsical about George Bush clips? Clips of him being whimsical because he's such a joke.
Starting point is 00:58:22 Yeah. And I don't know. I just, I don't know. I just, some of these clips of him it makes me think of Addle because I just feel like he thinks they'll think they're funny. Very funny. Also, I've been thoroughly enjoying Widows Bay.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Oh my God, good. Which I think was something also that you guys talked about. It's so scary. It's incredible. They mentioned Hingham in the most recent episode. I heard. I was so excited. And then that episode, I went in alone for that one.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I watched it alone and I got so scared in that episode and couldn't find my remote and was just screaming, no. Well, I was like, digging through my couch. I was like, no, no, no, no, no. The reveal is bonkers. Oh, so scary. Let's do... D-D-D-D-D, D. Let's do another riddle here.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I love another riddle. I'm scared. I'm scared for another riddle. I open and close, but I don't have a lid. You can see me and hear me, but you can never taste me. My butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt and my butt. KKC clip the gift the gift the gift that keeps on giving you're not going to use this a national treasure you're not going to be for whatever nation you happen to live in a Aaron I love your gift of the Magi which is I sold my watch to buy you a comb and you're like my butt my butt my butt my butt
Starting point is 00:59:36 the gift of the Magi so was there more to the riddle yes I open and closed but I don't have a lid you can see me and hear me but you can never taste me I'm something you can feel but I can't be touched. I'm long, but cannot be measured in inches. I'm really light. What am I? Okay. So this is like a stand-up comedian set. It's got to be like a really long set, but also light. So it's like a Jerry Seinfeld set, although he never opens. Who would Seinfeld open for? Here's the thing. Larry David. I don't have this on full authority, but I think Seinfeld actually opens quite a bit, which is, which frustrates a lot of stand-ups, because he'll go, he'll pop into like the comedy seller.
Starting point is 01:00:21 Oh, doing like a pet. They'll be like, Jerry's doing a pop-in. And they're like, that's amazing. So I'll get seen. And they're like, well, hold on. He's opening because then he can leave. So does that. Oh, oh, get seen by Seinfeld.
Starting point is 01:00:35 I'm so stupid. I couldn't. I was like, you'll still get to go. But no, that's not what that means either. So never mind. Yeah. I open and close, but I don't have a lid. You can see me and hear me, but you can never taste me.
Starting point is 01:00:46 I'm something you can feel, but I can't be touched. I'm long, but cannot be measured in inches. I'm really light. And I'm really light has a double entangra. It's like stars. Or like it's something that emits light. Aaron, it involves stars. And JPC, Sandop Set was actually adjacent.
Starting point is 01:01:07 It's adjacent. Or Seinfeld, you're in the right, you're walking in the right pasture. Movie stars. Movie theater or? Oh. Okay. What the fuck noise was that, Aaron? have you ever heard
Starting point is 01:01:20 My butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt, my butt. And back to you. I mean, you basically got it. Okay. Camera. Or a camera or light flash from a camera. No? Projector.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Yes, but a projector plays. Movies. Yeah, movies. It's movies. I open and close, but I don't have a lid. You can see me and hear me, but you can never taste me. I'm something you can feel, but I can't be touched. Well, if FI.
Starting point is 01:01:48 X works. then yes, yeah, measured in inches. And I'm really light, I think is, you know, both a reel of film
Starting point is 01:01:54 is going to be lighter on a flash drive and the projector. It's just light. And a movie can be like light, like light fair, you know, like it,
Starting point is 01:02:05 hot. Something like it hot. End of list. Apartment, just casual comedies about infidelity. Adel, that actually is a pretty good riddle.
Starting point is 01:02:15 Yeah, I like that one. I like it. It doesn't work for 40X, which is the only way. that I see movies because with 40x you can taste the movies. We come to the theater to taste. I do want to see a suit.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Some people do. Hot dogs. Hot dogs. No, the episode's not over. Come on. No, no, no, no, no. I do see a seed very quickly. Also, I'll, Erin, can I just say?
Starting point is 01:02:37 Yes. One of the worst. Hello. Hi. How are you? I'm good. I wish this episode was more about Babu Frick. Me too.
Starting point is 01:02:46 But Aaron, I was going to say something I miss not having you at 40x is a stupid thing that I do among among the many stupid things I do is a lot of times when I go to see 40x I get the hot pretzel with scalding cheese and then and then the minute I sit down and then I meet Casey and JPC in the 40X theater and the minute I sit down I go oh no because the seats the seats are a bucking bronco and now I have to eat I have to lean forward and try and scarf down a piping hot pretzel that's 350 degrees as fast as possible before this seat kills me. And before you get like third degree burns from the hot cheese. That is that is cartoonish. Yeah. You're setting yourself up for a cartoon accident. It's pretty rough. Also, you shouldn't be
Starting point is 01:03:34 allowed to eat in 40x. People are choking to death. I'm sure at 40x all the time. Pretzel is going down their airpipe. Speaking of guys, I just had a cartoon accident and I inked my pants. Oh no. Oh no. That is so sweet if you guys responded that way. That's a friend who genuinely shows concerned with you. I do want to see a quick scene. This will be our final scene. Aaron, or let's... Of the day.
Starting point is 01:03:59 Of the day? JBC, you are in a theater about to watch a film. Okay. You think you're the only other person in the theater, so you're pretty happy about that. But then, Aaron, you are actually a few rows behind JPC, and you are Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, this is pretty nice. We now present our feature presentation. Oh my gosh.
Starting point is 01:04:25 There's no one else in here. They just did! They just said, you don't make noise. They did a whole little movie at the beginning of the movie about not making noise. Hey, what are you doing? No, making noise! Me? Oh, I can't even believe it.
Starting point is 01:04:37 Oh, my God. I thought that was the movie for a second. Is it cartoon squirrel talking to me? Hello? Who's there? I'm back here. You think you're a lot of the movies and you're talking about. Can you talk and you talk?
Starting point is 01:04:47 Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. I didn't, I did not realize there was a human man in here. I thought, I thought maybe like the cartoon. I'm a human man. I thought maybe a cartoon B was in the, in the theater. I did not, I did not realize. Oh, is that a joke? I can't even believe it.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Really? You're making fun of my B movie. Larry David won't return my phone calls. Oh, Larry David. Oh, my God. Are you, no, no, no, no. Are you Larry David? No.
Starting point is 01:05:14 I've only ever heard the show. I can't believe we fell in love. I'm trying to hear a love. Me, a mama tambienne and you and E.T. E.M.A. M. Tambians. It's ours. It's ours. They can't make it work. I hope Babu Frick has said this, but... Seeed.
Starting point is 01:05:32 That is not a Jerry Seinfeld impression. That was not sitting right in my body. Well, oh, it was Jerry Seinfeld in a K-hole. You do it. You do it. You do it. You do him in a movie theater. Show me. Hey! Who's... Someone left goobers on the floor. Those are supposed to go in your mouth.
Starting point is 01:05:52 These are floor gobers. There's a little bit of bane in there, which I don't hate. Oh, yeah, I was born in the darkness. Grab them. You heard this. No, I'm turning into jail, no. All the same to me. Aaron, my apologies.
Starting point is 01:06:10 tougher than I thought. The JPC you do one. You do. Seinfeld in a movie theater. Yes, please. Why are the floors always so sticky? Oh, that's right. I'm jerking off in here.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Okay, a little bit of sign of those in there. Yeah. What? Yeah, one, two, three. One, two. And that almost sounded like James Brown. Like, huh, hmm, me. Yeah, fuck Jerry Seinfeld.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Hot dogs. He's hating the master of Julie's up. Hold on. Can't I. Aaron, we're about to bite into a hot dog. But before we do that, Aaron, do you have anything to plug or promote? Um, what if you had something to plug or promote Aaron and you had just hot dogged out of here and you had forgot to plug or promote something? Great point.
Starting point is 01:06:54 Someone please think of the plugs. Quality time. My LA show that I'm very proud of. I love it. It's a variety show. I'm also on the most recent season of Rotating Heroes with some of my favorite guys other than you guys, of course. We're having a lot of fun. Okay.

I love those biscuits, and it's English shrimp going on at Red Lobster.
