Starting point is 00:00:01 This is a headgum podcast. Okay, so the two of you are filing a home insurance claim. Okay. Because, and I'm reading this now, a disaster befell your podcast. Yes, a disaster befell our podcast. Yes, yes. We had, I don't know how to phrase this, a third host. Aaron, is that what you would say, a third host?
Starting point is 00:00:59 A demon that was also here. I don't know. Is there like multiple choice on the, paperwork of what Tasmanian devil type I guess like if Captain Hook was meaner A living being A human Not a human
Starting point is 00:01:16 Human not a human ask Uncanny Valley you know like Tom Hanks in What's the movie? Castaway? Castaway yeah With the beard Yeah you're like this isn't Hanks Yeah this isn't Hanks This is not my Hanks
Starting point is 00:01:30 Polar Express also just sort of that like I was like please don't Philadelphia. Please don't say Philadelphia. Please don't say Philadelphia because then I'd have to report you. No, we're reporting a disaster that befell our podcast. Yes, getting back to it. So on my form, since it is a home insurance claim, if it was a person who was injured, I have to mark that down. If it was property, I have to mark that down. But those are the two boxes that I have to check. Gotcha, gotcha. You know how a lot of insurance, I think there's a claim to do like act of God? This is like act of the Antichrist, this third host.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Yeah, you know how, like, God makes tornadoes? The devil made whatever this is. Okay, great. Well, we can put, since an act of God is kind of a metaphor, it's like a catch-all, you know, because it's like we're not, the insurance industry is not claiming that there is a God, you know, but the idea that there are certain acts that could be attributable to God, you know, because if you were claiming there's a God, then isn't everything an act of God? Big crash of thunder and May and here.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Wow. Okay. So we're just kidding about that God. We're sorry. Is it still going on, I guess? Because you said an act of God befell. Is it still continued? Well, no, this I feel like you'll understand,
Starting point is 00:02:43 because insurance definitely believes in the devil, right? Because that's who you serve. Yes, yes, correct. That's why State Farm's colors are red. Well, like, you know, my boss's name is Terry. You know, his boss's boss, his boss's boss, that's the devil. But I don't know. I mean, if you're, yeah, if you're upset, I can't get to the devil.
Starting point is 00:03:01 I have no way to give I can get to the devil. Terry, Torrey, purgatory, hell. Kevin Bacon, devil. Yeah, I think you have to put Kevin Bacon in there. So you have to say, Terry, Terry, no further, invisible man. Man, I'd love
Starting point is 00:03:19 a cigarette. Cigarettes are bad, bad the devil. We're seeking $100,000 for the damages that befell our beloved podcast podcast, hey riddle, riddle. Yes. And so whatever we have to fill out on the paperwork to receive the damages.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Oh, why don't you just say that? If all you want is whatever you have to do to get the money, then we could just, you know, tears up all of these documents we've been working on. Great. You just cut me in on. Let's just say 1% of that? No, more. Yeah, 1%.
Starting point is 00:03:53 I'll give you all of JPs. I'll give you all of JPC's tanks. Okay, what are we talking? Abrams? What are we talking? And just one more take. Pull one more Fish tank. Well, that's final offer. Final offer accepted. You know what else I accept? I accept. I accept that I'm here doing an episode of Hey, Ronald Riddell. I'm JPC. I'm Adderall. I'm the human. Actually, it's probably goes, Adel is the most human. And then I'm sort of that in between. And then it's JPC. It's like the animorph. It's like the animorphs. It's like the animorphs. And what's JPC is finding? final form. Oh, I am. My final form is midpoint between me turning into a duck. So it's like, it's a half duck creature with like, you know. With a bill on the back of its head. Now, Aaron, it looks like it's nice and sunny there where you are in Los Angeles. But as we started
Starting point is 00:04:46 recording where Adela and I are in Chicago, a nice summer storm just started rolling in. And, oh, I got to say, I fucking, I love a summer storm when it's like 75 degrees outside and it's still, and, you know, there's some thunder in the background, and it's raining. It's the best. Now that your dads, are you going to go stand out on your lawns and go, we needed this. The grass is going to be really happy. We needed this. It's like both hands sort of on the small of my back.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Yep. As I'm like kind of lifting up on my toes going, well, we needed this. I told you I can't find a person like to cut my grass. Like it just I have to do it myself. And it's fine. I just don't like doing it. I do it now. You should ask someone to mow your lawn. Cutting grass, that takes forever. Oh, yeah, you're right. Mowing a lawn mower would be much more effective. But, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:38 if you want something dumb right, do it yourself. But I did just reseed a big portion of my lawn because I'm like, I hate doing yard work, but it just needed it. There was like, I had a drain pipe dig dug out when I moved in like five years ago. And there were still like gravel in the front yard. And I was like, this just needs to be dirt and grass. Like it can't just be, it can't be gravel forever. So I did some reseeding. So this morning, when it started raining, I did legit be like, well, now I don't have to go out and fucking water that grass seed.
Starting point is 00:06:06 We did do this. This is, God is saving me a task right now that I don't enjoy doing. If you ever need to rob a dad, just start talking about a lawn and the sleeper cell thing in their brain will wake up and they'll start talking about what they're doing, when they have to go get mulch. Taking care of a yard is one of my least favorite things
Starting point is 00:06:26 in the entire fucking world. and I did, there were a couple years when, especially when my baby was just born that I was like, I'm not dealing with this. And I paid someone else to deal with it. And that was really nice. But then, you know, when one of them stops working and finding another one is just another hassle that I'm like just doing it myself now. And I'm like, I don't like it. I don't like being outside. I don't like, I don't like coming in and having to wash the dirt out of under my fingernails while I was wearing gloves the whole time. I'm like, what are the gloves doing if the dirt is still getting under the fingernails where the gloves are on. home ownership is the modern day Sisyphus. The amount of tasks you just have to keep on top of every week, every month, it's awful. It sucks.
Starting point is 00:07:09 JPC, you're a little soft boy prince with soft hands who likes to stay inside. I'm an inside kid for sure. I like to camp. I like to go, like, go experience nature, but there's something about, like, the divide. If I'm, like, outdoors and there's no facilities or whatever, and I'm just in it, great. I'm gritty. I'm into it.
Starting point is 00:07:29 But when I'm outdoors and I'm like, yeah, but my showers right there. Like, now I have to go take a shower because it is right there. You said something and I do have to, I'm so sorry, my brain just is screaming for me to say it aloud. I do want to see someone make an Anamorph's cover, which is you turning into gritty. Philadelphia Flyers. I want to say nightmare. That's just going to be so confusing. It's just going to look like the same image over and over and over.
Starting point is 00:07:53 That will be confusing. If people are not familiar with the animorphs, it's like, some of them were like reflective so you could like turn the book and see it, but it's like a six, kind of like the evolution picture of like monkey becoming man. Or I thought you're rating the kids. You're like six turning into a grasshop. Tobias is a tin because he's a bird. But that, it's like that image.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And mine turning into gritty would just be like me. And then the midpoint would be like me going down on myself. And then it would be crazy. When you said what animorphs is, I was like, isn't that a Maroon 5 song? But I'm thinking of animals. But my brain just went like animorphs, like animal. What year do you think that song came out? Aaron, I didn't hook you up with a review crew from like two and a half months ago.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Because that would be perfect fodder for that. Oh, I know. Dang. And my brain went straight to Ben Folds Rock in the Suburbs with Inso. Annie Morse, Annie Morse. That's perfect. Not for long. I went to the classic Muppet Anamorphs, which is my favorite Muppet.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Oh, yeah. What year do you think animals by Maroon 5 came out? I want to say 2012. I'm going to say 2014. Yep, 2014. How did you know that? Yeah, 2014. Big swing and a hit.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'm scared. Big Maroon 5 fans. Secret Movement 5 fan unlocked. So this is a riddle, puzzle, lateral thinking podcast. We're nine episodes away from our Big 420 episode that we haven't discussed yet, but I assume it will be huge. We all assume it's going to be huge. The Big 420 episode. The Big 420.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Well, it is a riddle's podcast, and we actually don't have a lot of time to fuck around today because we have Sandy coming on a little later. And we basically fuck around all the time with Sandy. So we can't, we can't, we got to be serious about riddles when we start. Would you guys like to start with some warm-up riddles or should I just throw you right into the deep end? Warm-up. I think there's some warm-ups. My head needs some warm-ups. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:10:08 As always with warm-ups, we may have done something similar to these before. But here are your first, your first warm-up burtles. These warm-ups are from Jonathan Sanders. And Jonathan did give me permission to use their name. name, Susie went to the store and bought six eggs. Throughout the day, she broke two eggs, fried two eggs, and then ate two eggs. Later that evening, she baked a keesh, a dish that relies heavily on eggs. How is this possible? Well, it said she fried two eggs and what was the first one? Broke two eggs, fried two eggs, and ate two eggs. Those are just two eggs, so she had four
Starting point is 00:10:43 left. If you break two eggs, you're putting them in a pan. If you fry them, those are still the ones you broke and if you eat them they're the ones you broke and fried yeah you are correct exactly you are correct she had six eggs and she used four for a keesh is four low for a keesh yeah that is that a mini keesh sounds like also did she have two fried eggs when she was having keish later what the hell is wrong with her maybe she's baking the keesh for tomorrow because sometimes like you want to sit a keesh overnight right like it's it's to me a keesh is like a brunch item not like a dinner item i do want to see a scene yeah okay um Aaron, you are, you're walking into a coffee shop and you're asking someone if you can sit down at the table next to them.
Starting point is 00:11:26 JPC, you're this other person and you just happen to be, and this is, I know this is so weird and random. You just happen to be Aaron Kish. Got it. Is this fun? Yeah. I love how you said that like it's out of your hand. Like you're relaying news to us. I'm just channeling the inspiration.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Another big thunder as Adel said, Aaron Kish. Not too happy about that. Hi, sorry to bother you. Are you using this chair in this outlet? Oh, my God. Oh, no, I'm not at all. Please, by all means, help yourself to it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Oh. Yes, I am. Sorry, you're like a... I know, you have the look in your eyes, and yes. But if we just... Yeah, be, you know, because it's no one else in here... No, it's me. It's me.
Starting point is 00:12:16 I'm Aaron Keefe and you're like a spitting image of me. Oh, okay. Yeah, who do I make it out to? You said your name was Marin? No, no, no. I don't want an autograph. This is sort of a, it takes two situation. Mary Kate and Ashley, they meet their exact doppelganger.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I'm in the middle of an audiobook right now. I don't know if you saw the headphones in. So it's like if I don't finish the chapter, I kind of get like lost. Right, but this is a miracle. We're basically the same person, but you're made of eggs. Oh, okay. Am I this much of a dick? What's it going to take to, what do I need to do?
Starting point is 00:12:52 Do you want me to report like a video for your friend? No, no. Shouldn't we switch places and try to like get a couple together or do like doppelganger hijinks? This is a huge deal. My husband is actually in the bathroom and he's going to be here. I'm not alone. I'm not alone.
Starting point is 00:13:08 I'm married and regular Aaron is. You're going to do something? Just know that I'm. I'm, I don't even have a husband. I'm, I'm not, I'm not alone right now,
Starting point is 00:13:17 so it's like, don't make a scene. I'm not making a scene. That's a really nice coat. How do you afford that coat? My ears are burning. Hi. Nice to meet you.
Starting point is 00:13:27 My name is Mark Merrin Kish. Wow. Oh my God. You took the egg's last name. Hi, how do you do? Can you believe how much I look like your wife? I took his last name.
Starting point is 00:13:39 Yeah, why did you assume? His last name is Merrin Kish. Just because you met my wife first as a, doesn't mean. Why do I look exactly like this egg woman? See. I am the egg woman,
Starting point is 00:13:52 Cuckoo Kuchoo. Okay, here's another warm-up hurdle. This is a warm-up from Katie. Katie asks, what can you find in December that you can't find in any other month? Christmas? A D.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Christmas and a D would be, I guess what? Christmas in July. Two gifts. That is correct. And then the second warm-up is Alone is as Fragil as Tissue. Wait, hold on. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:14:19 I'm so sorry. You're moving so fast. I would like to see a scene. Oh, okay. These are just, and these are just the warm-up. I know, but we've called scenes just from bullshit at the beginning of an episode. You can call a scene on a warm-up riddle.
Starting point is 00:14:32 For sure you can. For sure you're able to. Well, then great. I'm going to do it. Watch. Big sign in the back of Aaron's house that says we do call the scenes. Okay. Here I go, calling for a scene.
Starting point is 00:14:44 JPC and Adel, you guys are a couple. Adel, you have brought JPC home to meet your family for the first time over Christmas. And everyone's exchanging gifts. And JPC, you don't want to exchange your gift in front of everybody because your gift to Adel is sex. But you have to give it, you have to tell him what a gift is in front of the whole family. Okay, who's next? Thank you guys so much for this. I just, I needed a laptop so bad, by the way.
Starting point is 00:15:09 I appreciate it. Yeah. And that's an Acer. and I'm told that they're really good, Margaret, first sort of what you do. Thank you so much. You're such a good brother. Who wants to go next? I can go, but just to say that I... Robbie, Robbie, Robbie.
Starting point is 00:15:27 We're so happy to have you here with the family. I'm so happy to be here. It's my first time I've totally misunderstood. I didn't actually get here. Oh, no, you're going to be great. Robbie, you're going to be great. I know, no. I know that this is a hard holiday to come into generally,
Starting point is 00:15:40 and then also we obviously had a couple deaths in the family this year. But you are, you love our brother so much, and we're so grateful that you're here, and we just cannot wait to see what you got him. I didn't get a gift, is what I'm saying. So I brought no gift. Yes. So I will have to graciously, and because again, I just didn't understand that we were, that it was gifts for everybody like this.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Robbie, you have a big bow around your waist. What are you talking about I didn't get a gift? Yeah, you said you had a big surprise. Is it under your robe? So I put a big bow around my waist. bow around my waist to come to my boyfriend's family's Christmas, and I didn't think it would come up. Uh, huh. Is it a car?
Starting point is 00:16:19 Is it a ring? Are you proposing? No, it's not a ring. It is a, it is a, it is a bow and my waist belt. Are you looking at a belt? Oh, oh, oh. Belt. He's a prankster.
Starting point is 00:16:31 You told us he was a prankster and he is. It's actually... Robbie. Robbie. Robbie. Robbie. No? I know that you're such a big fan.
Starting point is 00:16:39 fan of Kill Bill. This is David Caradine's belt. Are you calling an Uber right now? No, I am... I can see you on your phone. You're calling an Uber. I'm making sure no Uber's show up. Because sometimes Uber's just come. Only if you schedule them.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Now you're checking it against the price of lift. What's going on? So you can see just my whole phone, huh? Yeah. I'm sitting right behind you and I'm looking. You're also casting it to the TV. I am casting it to the TV. Yes. That is what I am doing. on the phone. Are you surprising him with a trip
Starting point is 00:17:12 or something? Oh, it's going to be like a picture of like French Polynesia? Let's all stop guessing gifts because that's, right? That never ends up in a good place. Would we guess the gift that we want to receive? I guess that I was going to get a laptop and then I did. That, I mean, that's your brother though. You knowed each other for like
Starting point is 00:17:28 31 years, so it's like No one knows him better than you though. You guys are so in love. Speaking of guess, we should, you know, I guess we should throw the gifts that we had for grandma and Uncle Charles in the fireplace because obviously they're not here with us symbolically.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Symbolically, we should send them up the chimney. Don't catch the gift. I wanted to break up for four months. How do you break up with someone? With me? With two months, someone important to them dies. With who? Megan, you are stupid.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I just tried throwing this gift to the fire and you caught it. You are stupid. You're stupid and rude. You're stupid and rude. Oh, my God. I wish we had not watched Meet the Fokkers. I feel like this is, it's playing out exactly like that movie right now. Give him the gift.
Starting point is 00:18:18 How are we going to see Fokker-in-law if we don't watch Meet the Fog? I'm sorry. We get to steal any gift. So you give our brother your gift. And then if anyone wants to steal the gift that you gave him, they can. That's the new rule, white elephant. You know what I was going to give, Megan? You know what I was going to give your brother?
Starting point is 00:18:34 What? I was going to give him a blowjob. Hell yeah. I was going to give him a blow. Yeah. Hell yeah. It would have been great. I'll steal.
Starting point is 00:18:44 No, grandpa. Grandma's still warm in the ground. I'll steal. That's big like I'll have what she's having. Can he stay forever? In coming to America where Eddie Murphy gives those earrings. And she's like, I can't accept them because they're like $500,000 earrings. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:11 And then she gets off the train. And then the old lady stands up. She goes, I'll marry you. Okay, here's your second warmup. It's, again, still from Katie. And I can call a scene about this one, too, if I want. If you want to, if you choose to, alone, it is as fragile as a tissue. Together, it can crush a small town.
Starting point is 00:19:30 What am I? Godzilla? Godzilla. Breath. Oh, yeah. Because emotionally Godzilla's. Earth, fire, water,
Starting point is 00:19:40 alone. Hold on. You're trying to stop Captain Planet with the five Earth, wind, fire, water, and Godzilla. And monkey. What was the monkey guy?
Starting point is 00:19:49 Heart. Heart. Yeah. And honestly, there was no heart. They just wanted to hang out with the monkey and he's the one that had it.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I feel like friends stole. I feel like Friends was like, we need a group of friends. Kind of like Captain Planet has like a group. Yeah. And they're like, also Captain Planet has a monkey. So maybe Rosh should have a monkey? And people don't talk about this a lot, but Earth had the Rachel.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Somebody draw it. I'm dying to see it. That would unite the world if we just decided to give Earth the Rachel. It's telling that we don't know what any of their names are. I can't say his name is like Pete or whatever. Mati was heart, right? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:34 And then the rest, boy. Got in my head. Who knows? Alone is fragile as a tissue. Together, it can crush a small town. What am I? Okay. Is this like a letter of the alphabet?
Starting point is 00:20:50 No, it's not a letter of the alphabet. So the plural of this thing is the destructive thing. Yeah, basically, basically, yeah. One is very fragile and a bunch of them could crush a small town. I mean, they could do more than that, too. They could fuck up a big city as well. Is it some sort of monster? It's not a monster.
Starting point is 00:21:14 No, I would say it's very naturally occurring. Okay. Much like... Tornado. Tornado. Wind. Hurricane hurricanes. You're thinking way to...
Starting point is 00:21:23 Much like, mudslides. Way too large scale, Aaron. Um, okay. Rain, rain, rain is close. Rain is close. Oh, cloud. It's not cloud. It's not sneeze.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Rain is close. Snow. Snow. River. Snowflake. Snowflake. Snowflake. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Snowflake and snow. Exactly. You got it. Wow. Good one. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's a pretty good one.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Maybe we haven't had that one before. I like that. And then, okay, I want to do one final. I want to see a scene. No, I had to do one final warm up, rental because this is. I can't even see scenes anymore. What the heck is? Hey, Gapzzi.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Let's see it. Let's see it. Let's see it. Let's see it. Can I talk about you for a second? Yeah, what's up? I feel like Aaron wants to see a scene. I feel like you're really kind of policing her.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Sandy. Adel, did you ask? Dying for us. Give me a second. Suey, give me a second. Did you ask him? Okay. Yeah, give me a second.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Get back in the car, please. Okay. Also, I feel like, I don't know. Can you just let her have a scene, please? Can you just let her have one scene? Are you calling an Uber? No. Are you calling an Uber?
Starting point is 00:22:34 while you're asking. She's in the car. Call your seat, please. I don't even want to see it anymore. I lost the momentum for it. Yeah, once the momentum is gone. Can I tell you what it would have been? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:46 And then everyone can grieve that we never got to see it. I was going to say, JBC your Snowflake, Adel, you're on a date with him, and JBC is sort of bragging about how unique and different he is. But we're not going to see that scene. Yeah, it would have been funny.
Starting point is 00:23:02 That would have been really good. I like that scene. maybe in a couple years I want to one more warm up riddle and I'm introducing
Starting point is 00:23:10 a dangerous precedent in the show and I just want to tell people if you submit riddles to the show this is a one-off this is not something
Starting point is 00:23:17 that I'm going to be entertaining in the future T.J. from Columbus sent us a riddle that is not a riddle but they kind of reworked it into a riddle so I'll give it to you
Starting point is 00:23:27 and then I'll give you the answer probably and then you could be like well this isn't a real but it's kind of It's kind of been reworked. So here we go. TJ from Columbus, thank you for sending this.
Starting point is 00:23:37 There once was a land filled with animals. The animals were just like humans, are on Earth. They have jobs, they go to work, they drive around, except for Nate the snake. Nate the snake was the nicest animal of all. He always lent a helping hand and offered up all of his earnings to help out those less fortunate. Everyone loved Nate. In the middle of Nate's town, though, there was a lever. And if you pulled the lever, the world would end.
Starting point is 00:23:58 So no one ever pulled the lever. But one day, a delivery driver who knew how great Nate was. came rushing in and was driving for the center of town when he realized his brakes were out. Directly in front of him was the lever. He could swerve and hit Nate with his truck or he could hit the lever and end the world. What did the delivery driver do and why?
Starting point is 00:24:20 Kind of like a trolley problem except with Nate the snake and a lever in the middle of town. Is this just the plot of Zootopia too? This is kind of that. The reading of that immediately made me, It made me think so much of Dennis Hopper's thing on Gorilla's Demon Days, fire coming out of a monkey's head. Oh, yeah. Or it was like, brunt, brunt.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And he's like, one day, the people went to the monkey, and the monkey met that whole little spiel. God, Hopper was great, wasn't he? Hopper was great. I watched, and not too recently, but within the last couple of years, I watched Speed again. Hopper is so fucking good in speed. I thought you were talking about the movie Hoppers was great. I watched Hoppers on speed, and I was like, I know I'm on methamphetamines right now, but this movie is fucking good.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Vanessa Bayer is a great white shark? Yes. What the deliver do? Was that the question? The driver. What did the delivery driver do and why? This is a trick question. Again, it's not a trick question.
Starting point is 00:25:29 It's not even a riddle. So, yeah, I'm confounded by the fact that you said you won't entertain this type of riddle again. Well, I won't entertain things that are not riddles, even if they're being presented as riddles. Yeah. So it was, what would, does a delivery driver do? Who does he hit? Does he hit Nate or does he hit the lever? Oh.

Starting point is 01:07:48 This is a review from Liz, permission to use my name, which is a great title for your name. And it's a five-star review. It says, if I could give zero stars, I would. I recently started watching Veep for the first time, so I was excited to hear that the hilarious Tony Hale was going to be the guest on the most recent episode. However, I was completely taken aback at the amount of spoilers. Aaron said her favorite scene in Veep was when Selena finds out she's going to be president. I go home tonight and the next episode up was season two, episode nine, crate, wherein Selena finds out she's going to be president. This unabashed spoiler is egregious. It's basic human decency to allow a reasonable amount of time for the average person to see a piece of media without publicly
Starting point is 01:08:27 spoiling it for everyone rude. That show came out in 2012. Ten years is more than enough time. I can't believe a TV show about a vice president has them becoming president. That's a wild plot line. That is a wild plot line. No, I hear you. I hear you. And now we spoiled it again for more people. Well, that person spoiled it in their review. Yeah. Complating about this. Hurt people, hurt people.
Starting point is 01:08:56 Casey, can you beep out? I said Widows Bay is good. Can you beep out good? Because that's it. Yeah. Because then people are going to watch and be like, fuck, that was great. Can you beep about that JPC is a demon?

Starting point is 01:09:37 One, two, three, four, hate. Oh, my God, wait. We have to wish Adel a happy birthday. It was his birthday two days ago. It's a birthday two days ago. It's a birthday. Hold on, hold on. We actually, we have to work it into a plug, but, yeah.
