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?
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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%.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
What am I?
Godzilla?
Godzilla.
Breath.
Oh, yeah.
Because emotionally Godzilla's.
Earth, fire,
water,
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
No, I would say it's very naturally occurring.
Okay.
Much like...
Tornado.
Tornado.
Wind.
Hurricane hurricanes.
You're thinking way to...
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.
Rain is close.
Snow.
Snow.
River.
Snowflake.
Snowflake.
Snowflake.
Yeah.
Snowflake and snow.
Exactly.
You got it.
Wow.
Good one.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
That's a pretty good one.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
Neither.
It's not neither.
He definitely hits one of them.
So it's like the trolley problem?
It's not, it's kind of the trolley problem.
It's not neither and it's not both.
So do you have a guess of a binary choice, which one he hits?
The snake.
The snake.
He hits the snake.
He hits Nate.
But do we know why?
No.
Okay.
Well, I'll just tell him.
Because he was God.
The driver hit Nate, of course, because better Nate than Lefer.
Okay.
So.
I need to step away from my computer for one second.
I need to pull a Adam Driver and Marriage Story.
and put a hole in my wall.
I need to pull an Adam Driver and marriage story
and cheat on my wife and then yell at her.
I need to pull an Adam Driver and marriage story
and walk out of an interview with Terry Gross on fresh air.
Did you guys see that Adam Driver?
Apparently in Lena Dunham's new book,
she accused him of aggressive behavior on set of girls
and did you see that he was asked about it?
And he was like, I have no comment about that.
It's all going to be in my book.
Cool.
Who knows if he was joking?
I'm assuming he was joking about the book,
but also it's just like,
A,
just having like dirty laundry aired in like public is so funny to me.
Like it's just it's that this is like,
it's a cartoonish,
an actor's existence.
Because A,
there's the kind of actor who takes himself so seriously
that he's like,
oh, I'm playing a dick on this show.
I've got to be a dick in real life.
I'm like, that's, you know,
it's all pretend.
You don't have to do that.
But then also just to be like,
can you imagine if someone wrote something about you in a book and that you had to respond to that?
You're like, oh, man, like, what is this life that I live?
Yes, better Nate than Lever.
Again, again, not really a riddle, but what do you call one of those things?
Like a story with like a word joke at the end.
Is that just a slap in the face?
A sign of disrespect is what I call it.
Listen, do I wish I had thought of it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
but do I enjoy it when it's posed at me?
No.
I do want to see, well, let's put that to the test.
Let's put that to the test.
Yes, I want to see a scene.
Aaron, here's a scene.
So you're going to be telling Adel one of these long, like, complicated story jokes that have like a lot of setup.
But you do all the setup, but you forget what the punchline of the story joke is.
And so you have to just try to like force whatever you have to force it.
Great.
So, Debbie, is it this exit or the next one?
Hold on.
I was right in the middle of it.
Can you navigate, please?
Debbie, can you navigate?
Yes.
Okay, so, and you're going to love this.
You're going to die over this.
Okay.
There is this woman, and her name is Susie.
And she loves walking upstairs, but not down.
Okay?
Okay.
She moves in with her boyfriend.
His name is Kevin, and he can only walk down the stairs.
Fuck!
I think that, I think 83C was the exit.
Neither of them can slide down a fire pole
Neither of them know how to ride the elevator or want to
Can I take?
All right, I'm going to take this shit.
Uh, shit.
Am I good to merge?
Am I good?
Debbie, am I good to merge?
So when they moved in together, what kind of house
Did they choose to live in?
Debbie, fuck.
Oh, shit, we're going to a tailspin.
What?
Fuck.
You just answer the question.
I'm sorry, Debbie, I'm sorry, what?
Sorry, what was it?
Oh, shoot.
Um,
Hmm. Are you okay? We flipped upside down. Are you okay? I'm going to cut my seatbelt and then I'm...
I hit my head and so I don't remember the answer to the...
No, no, I want to hear the finish your thing. I feel like we need some levity.
Um, who am I? Come on.
Huh?
Whoa. What a, what am? What am? What am? Hi.
Whoa.
Debbie.
Oh my God. Is everybody okay?
Is everybody okay in here?
It was a real gentle.
We were in a tailspin and then
I know I saw.
It was a very gentle tip.
I don't know who I am.
Whoa.
What are you?
I was driving behind you.
You actually had your windows down and I heard,
I heard you, your name is Debbie and you were telling a story.
It's like one of those like joke stories where Kevin liked to ride up the elevator
and Susie only like to take the stairs.
And then.
So does that?
You're not hooked up to an EKG or anything.
You're just a person.
I'm going to start doing that when men try to talk to me in public.
Your own flat line, yeah.
You should walk around with an EKG machine and turn it on if you get bored of a conversation.
Bam, if I could see your ticket, I could help guide you to your seat.
Oh, okay.
I guess you've died.
Last night I was talking to Riley about how I want, I'm going to.
this technology and then you guys can invest in the company are you ready okay yeah it's a mood ring
it's like um one of those like health rings that you wear but already a aura ring yeah like an aura ring
okay so it's something it's like an aura ring um and it's collecting sort of your mood like it knows
when you're sweating it knows when you get excited it knows when you get scared yeah i know what i'm
sweating and then the lights not always not always um sometimes i stand up and go holy shit
did someone pour a glass of water down my back the lights in your house
house are connected to that ring.
Okay.
So when, so like, people always know how you're feeling.
Mm-hmm.
Mm.
And then a couple, when they're having a fight, they can go like, okay, it looks, I know
how you're feeling because look.
It's like a strobe light here.
Yeah.
Got it.
So lights in my house are on and off.
But so you're, you're positing that we have lights that have like, what, like a variety
of colors.
Colors, dimmers, and all that stuff.
They can, like, sort of flash.
It's like a light show.
Yeah.
My only fear, Aaron, is what is the emotion,
what is the emotion that you feel when the lights are flashing?
What is that emotion?
Like panic.
Is that like panic?
Okay, because here's the thing.
If it's panic and the lights are flashing,
I feel like I'm intrigued into a panic loop here.
Or dancing.
Or we're having fun dancing.
Oh my God.
Johnny, are you okay?
Is everything okay?
I'm just having fun dancing.
No, I'm stressed.
I'm dancing.
Was that your UKG machine?
Yeah.
But I feel like that'd be pretty cool.
Yeah,
that is very cool.
I like that.
I like that piece of technology.
I love that idea,
and I also love JPC's idea of a opposite setting,
which is the light fixtures will counterbalance your mood.
So if you're stressed,
they'll go to like a soft blue or something.
Oh,
that's actually smarter than my idea.
No, I think it's complimentary.
But yeah,
I wasn't choosing sides.
That can be another setting on my light idea.
I was oops you got peanut butter
in my chocolateing your ideas
versus saying
fantastic rear window situation
where you can tell how all your neighbors feel
and if someone's house is just like
this dark blue for so long and you're like
oh I'm so sad that they're so depressed
and all of a sudden you see a light come on
you're like oh my God good for them
and what about the same thing
it's like an aura ring but it's a
collar for a dog
but it also has a little speaker built into it
so depending on
what your dog is feeling like
you know, their heart rate and all that stuff.
You're inventing up again.
It tells you the dogs move.
So you get like, you're walking around your apartment and it's like, dog is horny.
Dog is horny.
That's a direct line from up.
I look over you're wearing the collar.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I just wanted to try it out for a second.
This is really, really sensitive, huh?
You must have the douse turned way up.
Dog is the sad kind of horny.
Have you ever had that painting?
How long have you had that painting?
Is that a new painting?
Nude painting, nude painting, nude painting, nude painting.
Hey, speaking of nude paintings, we're going to take a little break.
We're probably going to be back with kind of the embodiment of a nude painting, our friend Sandy.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, I don't know why I said it that way.
Sandy, go ahead and disrobe.
In class, go ahead and start.
This sweater's so hot.
Why am I wearing a sweater during the summer?

Yes, you give me one martini, and then I just sort of start screaming about what I would rename your pet.
Okay. And Aaron renamed my cat Martini. Yes, because I was drinking a martini.
Your cats have great names. My cats? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. They're all food or drinks. Yes.
Yeah. Aaron's like the equivalent of the sorting hat. You kind of just bring her to your party, and eventually she'll, like, touch your shoulder and be like,
Better be Teresa.
Better be!
So what would you name my dog?
I know you haven't met her.
Ruffles.
But her name is Clio now.

She's a standard poodle.
She's a small standard.
She's 40 pounds.
Yeah, her name is Clio.
We got her when she was a year old, which meant someone had already trained her,
which means we have the best behaved dog and everyone gets all these compliments.
And we take them.
All right.
I'm going to rename your dog.
I'm going to make her name longer and make her name Cleo from 5 to 7, which is a French movie.
That is quite good.
Haven't seen that on your letterboxed.
No, I've never heard of it.
Cleo from 5 to 7 is the name of the movie?
Yeah, it's, um,
one of my boyfriend's favorite movies ever.
It's truly fantastic.
Wait, wait.
How many boyfriends do you have?
One, two, three, four, five.

because we certainly have talked about
how your son is Ezra, better than Ezra,
and your dog is Cleo, letters to Cleo.
Yes, letters to Cleo, yes, yes.

or they're just like...
I wouldn't go to bakery that I'd bacon.

and they were like, I can't get into my laptop.
Something's wrong with my laptop.
And they just like dropped their laptop and left.
And the IT person while we were talking like opened up the laptop.
And on their laptop, I kid you know, when you opened it up,
there was a little sticky note with that said,
password and then it had their password like written down of the laptop and I looked at the IT guy who was just like crestfallen and he looked at me and he goes sometimes I hate my job
that's so funny one of the emails in the Epstein files is Jeffrey Epstein emailing a text support with his passwords in plain text

No. Yeah, without the updates. Oh, my God, it just turned completely red. I didn't know I could do that.
Scary stuff. You're right. I robot went bankrupt. I don't think that means they went out of business.
No, yeah. I'm sorry.
They just don't have anybody.
They just have, they don't have any money.
My Roomba has lasted forever, and I would be so sad if one day I have to replace it, and I can't.
Wait, what do we name the Roomba?
Oh.
If your name of things.
JPC.
So I can feel power over him somewhere.
The PC stands for, the PC stands for picking crumbs.

Love, love 50.
Try to make it correct about tennis and then I'll give you.
Try to make it correct.
That doesn't sound like me.
I don't want to do that.
I was talking to crumb picker.
Do you say 50 love or do you say love 50?
There's no 50 in tennis.
40, 40 love?
40 love over the hill means turning 40.
Oh, I didn't know that over the hill meant like specifically 40.
Yeah, that's what I remember from my parents turning 40 is that it was over the hills was 40.
Is that not right?
No, it might be.
Sounds right.
You're the one with horse sense.
No, the one who's falling down this hill.
I remember my answer to almost.
No, you're right.
It doesn't literally say it on the over the hill 40 or 50.
The phrase over the hill is used humorously.
Oh, gosh.
for both 40 and 50.
Okay, there you go.
Interesting.
I remember there was like a gag gift
when I was growing up
that my aunts and uncles
and their spouse, like whatever,
the whole family.
Whenever, it was a ball gag.
I remember it was a ball gag.
It was like a gag gift
that every year,
whoever turned like 40 for like Christmas would get
and they would like keep gifting it to each other.
And it was like a mug, I think,
but I don't remember if it said over the hill
or if it said like

Look at you what ekechip at this is forny and horny.

And the site of an orgy is Poundtown.
But that's not the clue we're given here.
This is the Bank of England.
Still fun, though.
Still fun.
The last time I was in.
The last time you were in orgy, you walked in and you're like, am I in London?
Because this is Pound Town.
And they go, please leave.
And you go, of course.
Of course.
So sorry.
So sorry. The last time I was in London, Gemma and I did find a, was it Pound Town?
It was like their dollar store.
And it was called like Pound Town or Pound Village or something.

Am I crazy?
That's what British people do when they come to America and they find a come and go.
Oh, yeah.
That's what people from America do when they find a come and go?
You're like, what?

Next time you're at the zoo,
ask why they start crying
in front of the crocodile exhibit and be like, I think they should be
on multi-levels and they'll be like, what are you talking about?
You're like, crocodile tears,
and then they'll kick you out.
And they go, please leave.
And you go, yep, I got kicked out of that orgy.
I got kicked out of the zoo.
I'm fine.
Everything's fine.
I haven't found the right place for me yet.
But when I do, I'll know.
Yeah.
And if you don't keep trying, you'll ever find it.
Someone walking the plank

Walking the plank
I'll say this one's not even that much of a
Difference in meaning
One is just an exaggerated form of the other
Or colloquial form of the other
Is it just like tread carefully?
No

There's a movie called Overboard
starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.
It's great.
Which is great.
Yeah, no, it's great.
And they remade it, unfortunately, with, I think,
Anna Ferris and someone else.
Fun fact about that I think is going overboard,
Adel, right? Going overboard?
Oh, going overboard.
Yeah.
What's that?
I remember the DVD or VHS whatever cover is Adam Sandler going like, huh?
And he's got like a swim floaties on.

And, Sandy, I would love if you sign up for like an open mic stand-up set and just do these.
What's the difference between a and then make them solve it and they're like, what?
Honey, get a pet of paper.
A query and a congressional hearing about Facebook?
You're going to love this one.
Okay, so like query is like ask or question or search.
A query.
Question mark.
They both question marks.
They both question marks.
They both question marks.
That's incredible.
Very good ones, Sandy.
I'm so sorry.
And finally, Frodo Baggins and this very real thing I'm about to describe, the bell that freezes everyone in a shopping center.
Bell that freezes everyone in a shopping center.
Something about rings.
They both have powerful rings.
They both have.
It is about a ring, correct?
Ring of power.
What does the ring do?
Makes you invisible.
Well, there's a phrase in play here.
A phrase from Lord of the Rings.
One ring.
One ring.
To rule them all.
My precious.
One ring.
One ring to rule the mall.
To rule the mall.
I got too caught up.
And here is that, here is that ring.
No.
You should all freeze now.
I thought that the mall freezing ring thing was a property that I was like, I'm not familiar
with what this is.
You forgot.
You forgot everything you learned about ball freezing ring.

visceral memories from roaming malls

Orange Julius.
George Julius, these are, of course.
And one more Roman mall joke.
The Barnes and Nobles, please gather around.
Neiman Marcus Aurelius.
Oh, holy fuck.
I just got goosebumps.
Rob calls feels like a throwaway joke from like a Mel Brooks like movie where it's like a store that's just called columns and all they sell is columns.
Yeah.
Well, Sandy, thank you so much.
This was.
Yes, Sandy.
A goddamn delight.
You're welcome.
An honor to have you back.
Thanks for having me.
It's been fun.
We're lucky.
We're lucky.
Where can people find you, Sandy?
What do you get to plug?
What's going on in your neck of the woods?
I am still doing a rattle.
Yeah.
Still doing Rattle at rattle.Quest or a rattlerattle.com.
And I also run my company called The Mystery League, which is for corporate team building
and other puzzle adventures and other things that are fun.
Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
And right now I'm probably on a beach somewhere.
So don't ring me.
All right.
So if you see a guy on a beach walking up to you...
Oh, I just mean part of me on as a beach because I'm on every beach because...
Because you're saying.
Because I'm saying.
Sandy.
Sometimes if you put your ear to the beach, you can hear someone being like,
what does a blind horse have in common with a soup that's too hot?
They're both inedible.
They're both inedible.
All right, bye, Zannie.
Bye.
Bye.
Okay, what else?
What are we plugging?
Aaron, do you have anything to plug?
Yes.
In a couple weeks, a little less.
in two weeks. I have my next quality time show here in LA. I have met so many really kind,
funny, hey, riddle riddle listeners at these shows. A lot of people from out of town that will swing
by and say hello, and it means a lot. It's a variety show. You can find us at quality time on Instagram.
If you want a ticket, and if you want a comp, also reach out to me, and I can sort that out
for you. I don't know anything to plug. Wow, free show. Yes, I want to plug the TV show Widows
Bay. I've been enjoying a great deal.
I think it's incredible.
So please check out Widows Bay on Apple TV.
Also, based on TJ sending us that great fun little outwire from Columbus.
If you're ever in Columbus, check out Kosai Children's Museum.
And also, my uncle Nosser's restaurant for dose.
I don't know if it's still open.
I haven't talked to my uncle Nasser in 30 years, 28, 30 years.
Worth a shot?
When I lived in Columbus.
Check on a hymsey if he's still alive, too.
He had that restaurant for dose.
Can I ask a question about the restaurant adult?
Can I eat there if it's just me or does it have to be for dose?
It has to, it's Middle Eastern food for Mexican couples.
Can that be our new tagline?
Hey, Ritter-R-R-R-R-Riddle, Middle Eastern food for Mexican couples.
Table for a dose?
JBC, is there anything you'd like to bugger promote?
Yeah, well, the first thing I'd like to plug is my buddy Adlerify.
I just had a big birthday.
Happy birthday, Adol.
Thank you so much.
The only reason that we forgot to mention it is because it hasn't happened yet.
But when this episode comes out, it will have been your birthday is a happy birthday, man.
And anything else that I want to plug?
Oh, yeah, listen to Gumshoes and Dragons.
That's a fun show, us and Anthony Birch doing adventures, Columbo style.
And then I want to read a review.
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
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.
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?
They said Widows Bay is some slur
that they couldn't say on the podcast.
Hot dogs.
Hot dogs.
Hot dogs, hot dogs.
Hot dogs.
Editing.
I already parents in the music.
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.
No, just drop it in anywhere.
Just drop it in.
Just drop it in.
