Starting point is 00:00:01 This is a headgum podcast. Hey everybody, it's JPC. Are you anything like me? Do you wake up and immediately need a nicotine pouch or a cup of coffee just to feel like a human or maybe a little whiff of cat food? Like you just crack the corner of one of those little tins and just smell kind of just what's inside. You don't want to eat it. We all know you don't eat cat food.
Starting point is 00:00:23 But are you like me? Does that happen to you? Well, that's why I want to talk to you today about ultra pouches. They have been a complete game changer for my focus and, energy levels. They are completely nicotine-free and completely caffeine-free. And as far as I know, it's not in the copy, but they're also cat-food-free if you are one of those people that needs to sniff cat food first thing in the morning. And you're probably thinking if they don't have nicotine or caffeine or cat food in them, what exactly is in them? And that is a great question.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Ultra has partnered with leading neuroscientists to design these pouches. They use clinically proven neutropics and adaptogens to deliver immediate focus and smooth energy that lasts one to two hours. So we're talking about things like infinity PX, Lthene, Alpha GPC, kind of sounds like Alpha JPC, and vitamin B6 and B12. These are truly clean, plant-powered pouches designed to sharpen your mind
Starting point is 00:01:10 and lift your energy all without caffeine, nicotine, current food, or crash. I've tried these. They actually do wonders for your energy levels. It is a great replacement to that first hit of cat food, I mean caffeine in the morning. And 90% of users saw significant improvements in their overall focus levels.
Starting point is 00:01:29 Enhanced memory, mood balance, all with zero nicotine and zero caffeine. Ultra is the ultimate guilt-free pouch, delivering instant focus and mental clarity without nicotine or caffeine. New customers can use code of Riddle to get 15% off at take ultra.com.

Starting point is 00:02:26 Good news at LJPC. do one more episode and then I've earned my riddle badge. Oh, Aaron. Congratulations. Thank you. I got this one for helping an old lady cross the street. I got this one for learning how to climb a tree. And now I just have a spot ready for riddles. And then once you get this, Aaron, I'm so sorry. I know I should take more of an interest in your social hobbies. But what is it you become? You become a certified witch. Oh, Erin.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Congratulations, you've been searching for that for so long. I know, I get to finally put curses on you guys if you wrong me in any sort of way. Oh, hurry. Oh, Aaron, just to make sure, real quick, when you helped an old lady across the street, it wasn't like a Mrs. Doubtfire situation, right? What do you mean? You think it was by dad? If it was like a guy trying to win back as kids, it doesn't count.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah. It doesn't count. Yeah. And then you can never be a witch. Yeah. Okay, what about me climbing a tree? It was kind of a Mrs. Doubtfire situation when I did that. Well, I'll just say, Aaron, I don't know your specific situation. It's happened to me a bunch of times. I wouldn't put this on you. But if you climbed a person wearing a tree costume that you thought was a tree, that's not going to count for much. Okay, I'm going to throw my sash into the garbage. All right, guys, that's fine. I don't even care. And we technically don't even do riddles on this podcast. We just do jokes. So it's like you can't really get a riddle.
Starting point is 00:03:57 badge for this podcast either. I don't even care. That's fine. Me at my desk seeing Aaron throw her sashes in the garbage. One good deed. Something. Something. You've done it. Aaron. My boy, you've done it. The factory is yours. I don't care. I don't care. It doesn't matter. Never mind. Let's do an episode. Oh, yeah. Let's do an episode. And who better to do an episode with, but the soccer moms themselves. They don't, they don't see too. Oh, maybe they're excited. All you are on. Ayah. We were so excited that our tongues fell out and we had to put them back in.
Starting point is 00:04:33 We could really use someone who could help us and get a badge for it, but I guess that won't happen. Oh, it's too late. It's too late. Aaron already has her tonguing a woman badge. I got that in college. Who didn't? Spinning a cigar. The little badge just has like a cherry stem with a knot in it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Yeah. Guys, thank you for coming to the show. This is a huge honor to have you. We've had you before, but to have you on together is very meaningful to me. I'm very happy to have. We're so happy. Holly and I have gotten to a point where we don't want to do anything not together. So thank you for acknowledging and adhering to that.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Yeah, we've planned a whole strategy on how to cheat today. So it requires both of us. It's kind of like a card counting thing, but it works for riddles. Unfortunately, there's no visual, but there's some blinking. There's some Morse code blinking, sort of like the torture guy. We all know the torture guy. I feel like you guys are going to be the first to hack the show. We have never had riddle card counters on before.
Starting point is 00:05:46 So this is going to be really exciting. If there's anything that Holly and I are good at, it's not. not doing the job, but working hard to do the thing to help us not do the job. Heading a corner and it's a longer route. I told me. Correct. We would rather walk three miles than the five minutes it takes. Here's my, and I'm not trying to cast accusations.
Starting point is 00:06:11 My guess is that one of you distracts us with a personal anecdote while the other one Googles the answer to the riddle. Okay. We're going to have to come up with something else. Shoot. Wow. That's what he got there right in the first try. No. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:28 We're going to play fair for one of the first times in our lives. Although I am using a dog as well to help. To distract. We have a phone a dog. Yeah. We have a phone a dog. But it's wonderful to be here. We just, we adore you guys.
Starting point is 00:06:44 And yeah, thank you. If people haven't heard your past, episodes. Could you guys talk about like your time in Chicago together and how you met? We met through the sacred act of improv, Chicago improv scene, through our patron saint, Shana Halpern. I pray to her every night. Every night. Yeah, Holly and I have known each other for an embarrassingly long time.
Starting point is 00:07:17 And then we both got the honor of doing the main stage at Second City together. And we were the only two women, which never really happens. It was just we were too much women for, they had two black cast members. And then they were like, well, then we can't have more than, you know, two women. And Noah's Ark style. Huh? Noah's Ark style, two by two. A thousand percent.
Starting point is 00:07:41 And we kind of went through like 20 years of friendship in like two years. two years because we were just always together in a small space. And like, we went through all the fights and the things and everything that you would go through in 20 years of friendship. And so now we're just kind of the same person. Family, yeah. Now we're just family. Now we're just like a real functional family. Yeah. Who's ever heard of one of them? And so we haven't been able to live in the same city for a while. And so we wanted to do a project that would be an excuse for us to kind of be together and not have to act too much. And so we created soccer moms where we play fictional versions of ourselves that are very rooted in ourselves that are we are two best friends,
Starting point is 00:08:35 shocking, who have children. That's the stretch. Who play in youth sports. And the games are so boring that they've decided to start a podcast in their minivan. And that is the basis of it. And it sort of is two types of, um, we sometimes do straight interviews with people, uh, who are just playing themselves and we're interviewing them in character. And then some, uh, most of it is our friends coming on and doing, um, a character that lives in the world with us. To improvise with us, we're going to make all you do it. Yep. Sorry. Uh, when that popped up on Instagram, I literally mumbled to myself, I manifested this. I was like, I did this.
Starting point is 00:09:18 If you wish hard enough, a podcast exists. Aw. Well, we can't wait to have you all on. And yeah, we got some big folks coming up, big guests, not in size, but in stature. Who's your tallest guest? That's a great question. Because we just had Ross Bryant on a different show of ours, and I got to say, I think Ross.
Starting point is 00:09:42 God damn it. We've had this is probably the tallest. Ross makes me feel normal-sized. Because I'm very tall. How tall are you? I'm 5-10, but I usually wear something with a little bit of umph to it. So I'm usually about six feet. 5-10 with a cape. 5-10 with a cape.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I think Ross probably, right? That's the tallest. Who's the tallest person we've ever had? I don't know. We just had Ashlyn Harris. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:10:10 How is she? She's like, she's almost six feet tall. Yeah. The goalkeeper for the women's team, Ashlyn Harris. Woof. Very. Very cool. Very hot.
Starting point is 00:10:21 So yeah. So it was basically just our excuse to get to be with each other a lot. It's on Big Money Players Network on IHeart, which is Will Ferrell's Network. And yeah, we have been having such a great time. It's the best. I implore people to check it out. And we normally do plugs at the end, but I wanted you guys to talk about it right at the beginning. because I people have like when I get asked about and I've gushed to you guys about it so I'm just going to talk about you like you're not here but when I get asked about like big influences uh Katie and Holly have my like favorite second city scene of all time is it a student in a teacher or a guidance counselor and a teacher yeah that it's the best and then you guys came and did a two person show at IO when I was a student and I truly like in a days catatotically on the train the whole right
Starting point is 00:11:10 at home was like, something has changed. I know who I'm, I know something has happened to me and I know who I'm trying to be. That sounds like the beginning of a musical number, Aaron. Yeah. I made the whole train car sing with me and they were furious. Yeah. I thought you were going to say, something has changed. You got your first period that night.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I did. I became a woman that night. No. Wait, hold on. I actually know when Aaron got her first period and it's when she saw Tom Brady in a Boston pastry parade. Yeah, that is actually, well, I know, that's when I became a woman. I felt like it became a woman when he looked at me. So when you look at him now, does your period go back?
Starting point is 00:11:52 Oh, yeah. Go back up. It just completely, it comes out my mouth. I get, like, I just like throwing up blood. Something definitely comes out my mouth when I see him now. I went to the roast of Tom Brady because my friend was a producer on it. And I hadn't seen him since I was in the third grade in person when I, at that Patriots parade. And I went, oh, man, you were handsome once.
Starting point is 00:12:14 And now you look like a scary marionette puppet. Oh, no. It's tough. It's real tough what he's done to himself. And, you know, he's literally, it pains me to say, but he is the greatest of all time. And he still had to do that to himself. So what hope, remember when Hallie Berry got cheated on? I was like, there's no hope for any of us. You just got to like who you are and accept it.
Starting point is 00:12:39 You're on your own. Mary, I don't remember this. Who did that? David Justice. Shame, David Justice. The ball player. And David Justice, you're our chump of the week. That's the thing we do every week.
Starting point is 00:12:52 In 1994. Yeah, you can get chump of the week for stuff that you did in the 90s for sure. We're not, your crimes follow you here. Retroactive chump of the week. Right. It's not a linear thing. No. It exists outside of the week.
Starting point is 00:13:09 time. Definitely. Okay, we're all saying the same thing. Yes, we all agree. We're on the same page, and so let's get even further on the same page by doing some riddles. How does that sound? Woo-hoo. Very nervous. Yeah. Katie, Holly, we've had you both on the show before, but separately. Katie, we were looking at this before we started recording. We had you on almost two years ago, and Holly, it's been five years since you've been on the show. So in the last two for Katie, five for Holly. Has your relationship with riddles change? changed it all. Well, COVID didn't help.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Yep. You know. And you came on post-COVID already. Right. Yeah. I believe you came out of 2024, so, but COVID didn't help with that. Yeah, COVID didn't do shit for my appearance last time. And that was like the height of COVID.
Starting point is 00:14:06 This is 2021, I believe, yes. I will say that I came on feeling like I'm somebody who enjoys a. a riddle. I did I did pretty well when I was reading the Hobbit of what has he got in its pockets. I'm probably going to be all right. And then what I learned in that post-COVID appearance on Hey Riddle Riddle is that I started acting like my microphone wasn't working so that you would think that was why I didn't ever have any answers. There she goes. A strategy that no one had done before. I mean, there she goes walking three miles when it's across the street. Well, okay, so that's great news because I think that today's riddles are going to kind of just ease you back in.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Now, these are submitted by a listener. This is a listener whose name is Kathleen, and Kathleen is in Calgary. Okay. Kathleen wrote us also a very nice note that said that she started listening to the show when her first child was born. And our first child is seven. And she lets that child listen to the show. Hang up. Hang up the phone.
Starting point is 00:15:15 I don't want to think about that. Hang up on her. Stop it. Just kind of rough stuff. Okay. So here's your first riddle. This is a riddle from Kathleen. When is your uncle's sister?
Starting point is 00:15:26 When is your uncle's sister, not your aunt? When she's your mom? Addle. It is when she is your mom. That is correct. I do want to see a son. Adel's just a stud. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:40 I do want to see a seed. Is everyone familiar with the Jack Nicholson story? No. There's many. Of his parentage. Katie, totally fair. He got points for being the Joker, right? He took merch points.
Starting point is 00:15:58 He made like $250 million off Batman, which is true. He found out at some point that his mom was his sister and his grandma was his mom. Oh. Oh, I think that was very common of his era. Oh, yeah. We've lost that. We've lost that tradition. That whimsy of, oh, Sarah, Sarah's upstate.
Starting point is 00:16:22 And when she comes back, I've had a new kid. So I'd like to see a scene. Let's say that Holly, you are sitting air and down to let her know that you are not her real mom, that Katie is her real mom. And Katie, you can be whoever you like. Darling, I went to the hostess outlet today. So I've got fresh boxes of whatever you like. I got ho-hoes, twinkies, ding-dongs. Mom, you never let me have dessert like this.
Starting point is 00:16:58 What's going on? Do you have bad news? Are you okay? No, I just couldn't miss a sale. I could not miss a sale. And these are all buy one, get one, or half off, which I think is the same thing. But I didn't stick around to do the math. I just started filling up my cart. And for the life of me, I could not remember what's your favorite?
Starting point is 00:17:22 Or is it these are the cherry pies? Is it these the... I'm a twinkie gal. You're a twinkie. The entire dining room is filled. Mom, are these guilt desserts? What's going on? These are love desserts because I love you so much.
Starting point is 00:17:37 I want you to have a little pleasure. I know you like to pull your twinky into two and make two little twinkie boats instead of one twinky log. So here you go. You have one little twigree. Is that my cue? Come on in. Come on in. Come on in.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Diane. Oh, hi, Diane. Oh, hey. Hey, sport. Babe, Diane, give her a hug. Give her a hug. Get in there. Get in there.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Arms are so strong. Doesn't that feel good? And yours are too. Yours are too. More than you think. More than you could ever know. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Is Diane dying, Mom? Your weird friend, Diane, sorry. Hey, sorry. You can editorialize as much as you want, babe. You can't, I promise. But no, nobody's dying. I mean, I feel like... I just want to tell you.
Starting point is 00:18:45 You only see Diane usually on the Fourth of July. Yeah, that was a big day for us. That is, that is. That was a big day for us. Yeah. And not just because I lost a finger. Because I gained something real important that day, too. That's right.
Starting point is 00:19:00 someone Well, you know how Honey, you know how When all the When all the Stop chaving twinkies in my mouth. Mom, please. I'm sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 00:19:12 I'll eat them at my own pace. I want you to know, do you remember in Star Wars When all the Jedi's ships, you know, when Luke is like racing toward the Death Star and all the stormtroopers ships are following him and he's going towards the death star.
Starting point is 00:19:34 It's so much like what happens in a woman's reproductive system. These, these, um, these little, a little fleet of tiny ships are headed toward, their little white guy too. Yeah. Toward a big death star. Um, and, you know. Is this a birds in the bees conversation? Because mom, I know all of this.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I went through health class. You do. Okay. About the sperm fertilizing the egg. Yeah. I know. Gross. I don't want to talk in front of.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Weird firework, Diane. Sorry. I'm not, I'm not supposed to be. It's my change my name. You got to call me what, you know, it's my legal name. I just wanted to tell you that basically there's never been a fleet of Jedi ships or stormtrooper ships. Um, heading toward my death star. But Diane has.
Starting point is 00:20:18 In fact, just like that one Jedi did get in and blow up the death star, same thing happened to Diane's egg. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a bobo-fent. Okay. Um, not anymore, hon. Not anymore, but I was. I was.
Starting point is 00:20:37 I got ripped up pretty bad. Yeah. Okay. Anyway. Well. You know how it's real hard for you to find hats? Yeah, classically. I have a really hard time finding hats.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Yeah, well, that's not a coincidence. It's correlation and causation. Yeah. those two things exist. Well, you're eating Twinkies too. You have the same favorite as me. Pull them apart. You got it.
Starting point is 00:21:05 She pulls my part too. Make two little twinkie bones. Yeah. Got to boat. Yeah. Wait a minute. And look, you both have a dimple in your chin. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Mine's from getting hit with a golf club. That's true. And I know that that's not necessarily how evolution works in genetics, but that's how strong it was. Yeah. Babe. I'm your mom That's your mom
Starting point is 00:21:30 I'm your mom That's her She's your mom I couldn't And your friend I guess you're her friend now I don't know What we would call you
Starting point is 00:21:41 Will be friends forever You were a chosen family And weird firework Diane's my mom Is dad my dad I'm still your dad I'm still your dad I'm still your dad See
Starting point is 00:21:52 She's been sitting there all time Just nodding, just nodding the entire time. Star Wars, yes. Two things. Two things real quick. One, I never realize sperm and stormtroopers are both little white guys. And then also, I really like the idea I've never heard before log or little boats. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:22:14 One of your Twinkie is little boats or log. I think that's phenomenal. It's so fun to pull them apart. And then you get the feeling like you got to eat two instead of one. Yes. And all the frosting is out. And so you get to, but you know what was driving me crazy? What are those stormtrooperships called with the flat sides that, what are those called?
Starting point is 00:22:34 Tie fighters. Oh, tie fighters. Bow tie fighters. Everyone hears head sex. Look at all these improvisers. Tie fighters. Tie fighters. It's a tie fighter.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Yeah. I hate how when you're having sex and you're about to land the killing blow and then the millennium falcons swoops in there and then takes it. from you. It's like, God, every time. Been there. Here's your next riddle. What is black when new, red when in use, and gray when discarded? Oh, when new. When new it is black, it is red when it is in use, and it is gray when discarded.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Hmm. Hmm. Do we get a hint? Charcoal? It's charcoal. Charcoal. You're a stud. Just like charcoal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Much like charcoal, the man is on fire. Man, that's... All right, give us another one. I'm, I'm, my brain's turning on. We're warming up today, yeah. Yeah, these, that one, okay, we, we, has, here's another one. This will help warm the rest of your brain. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Completely over. My first is half of anything. My second is in itself complete. And so remains until my first and second meet. What am I? And is this, is that this, is that, describing the word or the object? My first,
Starting point is 00:23:58 eh. Say it again. My first is half of anything. My second is in itself complete. And so remains until my first and second meet. What am I? It's kind of describing the word. No, I guess it's more describing the thing.
Starting point is 00:24:16 It's more describing the thing than it is describing like the word. Is it something like the moon? I got to be honest with you. You know when they look in Homer Simpson, brain and it's just like a panda with symbols in black and white. Sure.
Starting point is 00:24:30 That's what's going on right now, gang. But the symbols are too tweaky bones. It's Homer Simpson's brain and it's like, yeah, exactly. It's a turduckin. It's a turduckin of unoriginal comedy thoughts, which is basically all I am at this point.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Yeah. I'm more Simpsons quote than person at this way. You don't win friends with salad. Exactly. Is it like a word, it's not the word thing, right? No. No.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Okay. So my first is half of anything. It's not like half of anything. Like anything. You split that. No. It's describing a word that means half of anything, basically. It's a tough word to put it.
Starting point is 00:25:15 50%. It's not 50%. This is a compound word, I would say, the answer to this. So it's like my first is half of anything. my second is in itself complete. That's its own full word. A part. Not a part.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Wedge. No. I'm honestly trying to think of a clue to give you. And I'm like, I've got Homer Simpson's symbol brain trying to think of like what clue could get you to this. I'm thinking of Katie thinking of Homer. Yeah. Thinking of it's just to kind of clear out the cobwebs. What's everyone?
Starting point is 00:25:55 one's favorite Simpsons quote, just to get it out there. The one that I say the most? Yeah. Well, it has changed now that it's the World Cup. Okay. So now it's Ariaga, Bariaga, Arugula, and Sotsa. But it's the one I say the most is nuts to this. I'm going to the movies.
Starting point is 00:26:21 The one that sticks with me the most is I believe it's Chief Wiggum. I probably will butcher it because I'm not good at the exact words. But I think Snake is like escaping. And he goes, I'd rather watch a thousand guilty men run away than chase after them. I love that. That's awesome. Mine used to be the where Millhouse's dad is like, I have a race car bed. Do you sleep in a race car?
Starting point is 00:26:46 I live in a big bed with my wife. That used to be it. But I think my all-time favorite might be Lionel Hutz, where I think Margie's. where I think Marge's walking and he goes, if you lived here, you'd be home now. Which I think it's just great. I think that one all the time. The one I quote the most is I'm in danger, I think.
Starting point is 00:27:04 That lasted since childhood. What's mine, Katie? Can I tell you what I think yours is? And I think it's a recent one. I think it's, and here come the pretzels. Oh, at the free pretzel night? Free pretzel night. I was trying to think if any of those words you said would land on an answer here, but none of you mentioned this.
Starting point is 00:27:32 So it was a futile exercise? Well, not quite, Katie, because I used that little exercise to Google the answer. And what I found is, what I found is answer, not found. No. You stole Holly and I's little. He stole our cheat. So it's a thing that means half? Yeah, so the second word is in itself complete.
Starting point is 00:27:59 You would say that this comes full... Fully cooked, full... Circle. Erin, circle. So my first is half of anything. It's semi-circle. It's semi-circle. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I love that we did it together. And we did it together. Move on to the next one before I get mad. And I will say, shout out to all those poor people listening to this who knew it right way and just were screaming Will Fortune style at the their own. And shout out to our rich listeners as well. We care about you, not just the poor ones. The rich ones matter. And for our middle class listeners, we're sorry you're
Starting point is 00:28:37 disappearing so quickly. It's tough. Sorry about the price of eggs and gas. Okay, here's your next one. We'll do one more. This will get you fully warmed up. Then we'll take a break. You'll cool the fuck off and we'll be absolutely screwed for the second half of the show. I have neither bones nor spine, yet I can carry fire
Starting point is 00:28:58 upon my head. What am I? Prometheus, my dear sir. Torch is good. Prometheus is even better. A match. It is Prometheus. No. Okay, it's not match and it's not torch, but let's see. Candle. Okay, Erin. Yes, it's a candle. Yes, nice. That's an odd riddle.

I always say it's very, it's a binary thing to say, but I'm, it's a, it's a, the world is better that I was, that I'm a female because.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I would be J. Cutler if I think I'm in male. I have all those tendencies. But the only thing that keeps me from it is, you know. That's a T-shirt. That's a goddamn T-shirt. I do not know if I get, I, Katie got the answer right. Correct? Alone?
Starting point is 00:41:02 Yeah. Alone and one. But what two letters? Oh, one? Oh, my God. Okay. I'm a doof. No, Al.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I know Al was a perfectly acceptable answer because most of the one. Most owls that I know, yeah. That was a much funnier answer. Have you guys watched alone the TV show? Yeah. No, but I have had people tell me that it is compelling. I would give it a watch. You really are alone out there, and it's like a true surviving thing.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah. Because it is like they won't help you. No. Right? Like, ugh. What's the premise? It's a reality show? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:39 You're left alone and whoever can, survive the longest wins, all the money. But you're like left alone in the like, in the like Arctic Circle and you have to like, you have nothing. You're allowed to bring like eight items. You can have like a fishing line, something to make fire with, a knife. It's like that. Are people dying? Well, they lose like 80 pounds. The producers won't let you die. Like they will intervene, won't they? If it gets to a certain. If you're like, if your body fat gets to a certain thing, they pull you and people have been like, people have been like, no. But you have to like build your shelter.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I do love going on and be like, until I hit 135, do not pull me until I hit 135. Wait, 135 is also my goal weight. Same. That's so funny. I'm a bridesmaid next month and I'm wearing a yellow dress. So do not pull me until. My wife says if I get down to 135, she'll pull me.
Starting point is 00:42:36 I'm very much for her. I'll do that. Alone is super stressful. because, I mean, they're all survivalists. Like, they train for it forever. Oh, so they're not just like me. They're like, they actually, this is what they do. It's like a bare grills type.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I see. They're passionate about it. But what's stressful is they will not tell you how many people are left in the game. So when you're like 80 days in, they're not telling you, you have to outlive or outlive, outlast. Like five people or one person. So you just, you kind of just have to go for. And what's the prize? It's like not as much money as you would think.
Starting point is 00:43:11 I think it's like a hundred grand or something. Maybe 200 grand. It's like not what you would think for that. For that amount of, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And there was one.
Starting point is 00:43:20 For 80 days of work? That's perfect. I'm sorry. How much do you guys fucking make that 200 grand is it worth 80 days of work? That's killing a lot of squirrels. That's two and a half months. A lot of dead squirrels. My God.
Starting point is 00:43:32 No, JPC, they get to eat 100 grand when they're done. Oh, even better. That's what it was. And it's delicious by that point. What are my favorite things in the world? world is to watch, I watch every season of Survivor and one of my favorite things is the food challenge. And I don't know what it is, but it's so satisfying to see them eat after they've been star for like 30 days. Yeah. Obviously it's a lot of sponsorship and bullshit. But to see them bite into
Starting point is 00:43:57 like an Oreo. And an Oreo. Yes. And be like, oh my, this is the best thing. And they're gushing for two minutes. And you're like, this is, I don't know, for some reason it really delights me. And you said this season they had Mr. Beast on and he brought Mr. Beast's feastables and Nobody wanted them. No, I said they had Mr. Bean on. Mr. Bean's feastable. And he brought a bunch of beans and nobody would use beans. And his to the camera alone footage was unusable.
Starting point is 00:44:23 Well, nobody wants Mr. Bean's beans because he's so goddamn wacky. You can't trust that those beans are like, you know, clean beans. I know this is not an original thought as nothing is anymore. But Mr. Beast really has, you know, when he smiles how his, the top part of his face doesn't move. Sure. And so it's that uncanny. I think he's one of the scariest
Starting point is 00:44:47 people out there. And I know he's listening. But I just... And you need to hear this, sir. You do need to hear this. But why doesn't his... Let this be a wake-up call. Why doesn't his upper face move?
Starting point is 00:44:58 And it's not like a Botox situation. He's a mannequin that made a wish. Oh, yeah, I think so. One of those classic situations. Manichin made a wish. And now is... If he was born a woman, he'd be kind of a woman. he'd be Kim Cottrell
Starting point is 00:45:12 I'd really like I'd been born a woman because I would love to be Kim patrol Me too Katie you have created my favorite new party game which is if you were born the opposite sex
Starting point is 00:45:25 The Jay Kettler thing really Yeah It makes sense doesn't it Yeah Because you're like oh wow Katie like is a kind person Who can function in the world But like if I had been a man
Starting point is 00:45:36 My parents wanted to name me Sean Oh, yeah. And so like Sean Rich, Oof. Oh, yeah. That's rough. I would be, I wouldn't even be a cop.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Like, I would have failed that. I'd be like a security guard at the metro or something. You'd be punching holes in walls and walls in Wrigleyville. Yeah, but not as a job. It sounds like a way to describe your like dirt brag friend
Starting point is 00:46:03 and be like, you know, like, Sean just bought a Volvo. It's like, he has that money? No, he's Sean, Rich. But he's not like, She doesn't have money. And to all the Sean Pores listening. We support you.
Starting point is 00:46:16 And Sean Middle Class, we know you don't exist anymore. Man, this has kind of got me fucked up because I just did the exercise. I played it at home real quick. And honest to God, the thing that came to my mind when I said, if I was a male, who would I be? And the first thing that came to my mind, no shit, was Shia LaBoff. Whoa. Holly, I think you clear LaBeouf by a country trial.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I can see that. And here's why. Because Holly is so wonderfully, like, everything, we call her a walking poem. And everything about her is just that the world is hard for her to bear because she's so sensitive and wonderful and such an artist. And I think if she was a stray white male, she wouldn't know where to put all that. Yeah, I would. And so she would get in fights outside Walgreens. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Yeah, I feel like I would be this scrappy little like, like I'm picking a fight that doesn't need to be a pit or something if I was a man. I think Shia LaBuff is perfect. That's who you would be. You're a little peanut butter falcon. There should be like a number on billboards that you could call if you feel like you might be Shailabuff. Like if you might be a little bit of Shailabuff. Yeah. If you're having LeBuff-esque urges, like you should call a number and have like someone talk to you.
Starting point is 00:47:34 You help me. I'm labuffed. I'm a funny child actor, but things have gone really off the rails. I've labuffed. I've labov. I've labov. Also, that's not like that far away from your name. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Holly Laurent. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very French. And it's so funny because Holly is not, Holly's like from Elgin. Holly's from like a dumpster outside Elgin.
Starting point is 00:47:59 So it's like, it's so funny that she has the most beautiful fancy French name. Yeah. Very El-Leste. Legent. I thought Elgin rhymed more with Elgin, but it doesn't. Did it? Once you say it, it doesn't. I think it's fun how you guys think that you would have, you would be like a celebrity if you were born. If I was born a woman, I feel like I would just be like a woman that we don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:18 Yeah, I'd be like a weird woman. What's her the problem? From Santa Fe. You just have to, this is an exercise in trust. We all have to just trust. I would like to hear Marissa Sullivan leaving a voicemail. right now for she got her turquoise jewelry came and it was broken. And she's calling the company.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Okay, here we go. Okay, this is, I know your office hours are now, so interesting you're not picking up. This is Marissa Sullivan again. And I will continue to call until my complaint is resolved. I spoke to Thomas at the brick and mortar. and I bought what I was told was a handcrafted turquoise toe ring, a TTR.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Now, my toe fit perfectly into it until the gout kicked in when I had my two boats of Twinkies and yes, I'm a boat's not a log. Please call me back. I deserve compensation. I will be talking to a lawyer,
Starting point is 00:49:25 my dad, if this is not resolved. Thank you for your time. Please leave a message after the beat. Classic Marissa Sullivan. Hey, Marissa, where's my pot pie? See? I can I, this is vulnerable, but the impulse I had first of who I would be if I was a man. And this is maybe, I need to examine this.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Sure. I thought Rivers Cuomo. Is that the guy, the Wieser lead singer? He's the guy from Wieser. I could see that. I was like, I would be. wearing glasses, I'd be in a band. Yep.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Yeah. Yeah. Very weird about women. Very into Japanese women. Yes. One leg is shorter than the other. Why do you know this? I know a lot about her.
Starting point is 00:50:11 I'm a weasherhead. I love that guy. I do think that that's interesting. Yes, I think that you would be extremely odd. Yeah. Thank you. And like the things that the oddness about you now is actually wonderful and works. because of the gender that you identify as. Incredible.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Katie, I think you have a career in this. I think that you could have a side hustle where people reach out to you and they say, if I was the opposite gender, who would I be? And then you can sort of walk them through. Please write in. I will do it. I would love to do it because I think it's really interesting. And, you know, a lot of the, for some people, here's the scary part, they would be better people.
Starting point is 00:50:55 Oh, yeah. Not like, like, you know what I mean? Like, not always, but like for some people, it's like, you might want to get in touch with that side of yourself because. Can I think the fact that I think I would be worse gives me a little bit of empathy. Mm-hmm. Towards men. Because I think a lot of the things that would be bad for me is because of like society. Like, I would just feel pressure to.
Starting point is 00:51:15 It would be a destructive. The way that you would express the things that you express now would be in a destructive way. Yes. Yeah. When I, when my woke 3.0 agenda hits Congress, I am. going to mandate it's only 3.0 It's 3.0 for now. Yes. Yeah, we're just on 3.0.
Starting point is 00:51:33 I'm going to mandate that people swap genders at least once in their life because I do think that there's like an empathy building tool in there as well. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's I changed my name when I was 20 and then I've lived, you know, 17 years with a different
Starting point is 00:51:51 name. And it does kind of feel like two separate lives. Like you're living like two separate, you know, people. So I do think some mandatory swaps should be a, yeah, give me in government. Well, you have to also do a year in a service job. Yes. Yes. Definitely.
Starting point is 00:52:08 The IDF. Wait. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, let's stop, stop, stop. Yeah, no, you're right. Wait, we are saying the same thing. That riddle is, no. Well, it's sort of happening on smaller scales. I have several friends on HRT, like in like perimenopause stuff where they're on testosterone for the first time in their life, females who are now taking testosterone.
Starting point is 00:52:35 And they're like, whoa, I am horny. I am ambitious. And I'm like dumb. Like d'R. Isn't it wild that we're, that's all we are is just a collection of hormones and what gets released when and like that's all it is. And I'm hearing these women say like it gives me more compassion. like I understand men more, like having more testosterone in my system. But I've never heard the reverse.
Starting point is 00:53:00 We can like pump addle full of soy milk and see if you see what happens. See how many times he calls that place. There's a really great This American Life from like 20 years ago about testosterone. And there's people who are. Men are poison, women are venom? Is that what a, no. That's the book that you wrote using mostly AI that came out this week. All right, hold on. Let's do another riddle.
Starting point is 00:53:27 We still have to know who Adel's female. Who is the female adle? It's Melissa Sullivan. It's Melissa Sullivan from state of fate. But I will say, I did think about it. And I didn't want to say it because I'm embarrassed to be like, I'm punching way above my weight class. But my first thought was Gina Davis, who. Wow. I mean, if I could just be one-tenth of Gina Davis, I think I'd be thrilled. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:50 I got to think about that one. that's interesting I see why you said that I do too I want to be Jennifer Coolidge that's just who I want to be yeah but you're not definitely
Starting point is 00:54:04 this isn't who you want to be it's who you would be it's the anima and animus of you it's not just like yeah I mean I would like to be there's a lot of guys I'd like to be but
Starting point is 00:54:17 no I Gina Davis is very interesting to me I can picture you in Stuart Little Oh I can picture you in that movie And there's a vibe to you There's a there's a softness to you That also is a softness to her
Starting point is 00:54:32 Her dimples You are you are her dimples You are her dimples Thank you But she's like a next level genius And she's a badass Which is why I'm like I'm not like her But I think
Starting point is 00:54:43 I aspire to be her I see so that's why I was saying I see it And she's tall like you Katie She's like you Katie She's taller than me. How tall is she? Wow.
Starting point is 00:54:54 I think she's like a legit six feet. She's taller than me. My friend Eric Edelson in Los Angeles just shot a movie with her and she was supposed to like she was supposed to kick, like turn sideways and do one of those kind of like, you know, like karate kicks in his face. And she was supposed to kick, you know, within a foot of his face, but not kick his face. And they set up the shot wrong and she kicked him directly in the face. And not many men did he say they've been kicked in the face. faced by Gina Davis and Eric Edelson's wife got the frame and framed it. And it's a picture of him like with his like, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Yeah. And you might as well. Holly, not only a fantastic story. I'm also dying to know what this movie is. Yeah. Look it up. Gina Davis is throwing out sidekicks. Look it up.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Gina Davis, Eric Edelson, movie. See what it says. I can't remember. Face kick. Face kick. Face plus kick plus movie. I just, I get to this machine. that changes your gender and I'd like come in and then I'd like get popped out as like Matt LeBlanc
Starting point is 00:55:55 and I'd be like, oh no, what does that mean? The machine didn't work. No, it doesn't not work. It always works. Whatever you are, it's, hey man, take it up with the guy who made the machine. Or girl. Or girl. Wow.
Starting point is 00:56:10 The doctor was the mother famously on this show. All right. Hold on now. We have to do another riddle. This is the show. This is the goddamn show. I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:22 No, I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry. You know, I'm not sorry. Because Jay Cutler would not be sorry. He would say, I don't care. He would be like, this sucks. Shia not sorry either. Shia and not sorry.
Starting point is 00:56:33 And Gina Davis would try to beat her sister in the women's baseball. The thing that really makes me know it's true, Katie, spiritually you would be married to that woman from the, what's your name? Kristen's the Hills. Although they're now divorced. See, but that I, classic you. You would marry and divorce Kristen Cavalieri for sure. I feel that on every timeline. She's your wife and then not your wife.
Starting point is 00:57:00 That's like a time traveler's, what's the movie with the time traveler in the situation? It doesn't matter. Here's your next riddle. I can be quick and then I'm deadly. I am a rock, shell, and bone medley. If I was made into a man, hey, how about that? Wow. Kind of germane to our whole thing here.
Starting point is 00:57:20 I'd make people dream. I gather in millions by ocean, sea, and stream. What am I? Sandman? It's sand. Sand man. Maybe the best intro to a song of all time. Where it sounds like he's stalling where it's like, bum bum bum, bum, boom.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Like looking around the room, being like, what am I? I don't know what to sing about. I'm sand. Keep it going, keep it going. Someone points to an hourglass. Sand. Man. He's bringing the
Starting point is 00:57:53 drink. Did you say dream? Yeah, dream. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, we'll do another. Here's your next one. Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing I ride a straddle.
Starting point is 00:58:10 And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I? What the heart? Glasses? It's glasses. It's my glasses. The bridge of the, like it sits across your nose.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Yeah. The nose is the, yeah, okay. The horseback of the face. Adel and Aaron are like, oh, I get it. And both Katie and Holly are just, they look upset. No, but that's fair. They're having the correct reaction. I think, yeah, I, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:58:42 I shouldn't be judgmental. I do want to see a scene. Why not? I don't want to. Okay. I'd like to see a seed. Holly, you are at the optometrist, getting your eyes checked and new pair of glasses. JPC, you are the optometrist, and you keep using sort of animal or whatever other type of analogies for glasses and eyesight that just don't kind of necessarily get used a lot in these circumstances.
Starting point is 00:59:11 How about these? Do you like me in a heavier frame or should I be in something a little more delicate? get? Well, I mean, honestly, the frame is not as important as the prescription inside. That's right. That's right. The frame is really a you choice. I can obviously give an opinion, but it's not a medical opinion. But I will say you have wolf's eyes. So a frame like this is, it's going to draw attention away from those size. That is so wild that you say that because I was once in a cacao. ceremony, drum circle, ecstatic dance night, where a shaman led us through a mental exercise where he said, an animal is walking up to you. And do you know what was walking up to me? A gray wolf. Oh, okay. And it looked me in the eyes, and I knew somehow that I was the wolf and the wolf was me. And I know everyone would want to be like a Mustang, you know, if you have, you know, some kind of like
Starting point is 01:00:11 animal side of you. But evidently, I'm a wolf. And you saw that. I feel seen. I see lots of eyes. It's kind of a, it's, well, the part where I know what animal's eyes you have is more of a quirk. Unique to me, it's not really a professional thing. And it's not a medical. You are quirky.
Starting point is 01:00:32 And you smell of eucalyptus. This office smells fresh. I appreciate that. I went through a car wash this morning. Really? And all of my windows, I thought that they were up, but I just got them tinted. So it looks the exact same to me. So that could be the smell that you smell.
Starting point is 01:00:50 So you got car washed? I did, yeah, a little bit. Just on the back. Wow. Yeah, it was the back windows. So, but yeah, I mean, obviously, and if I'm being quite honest, you don't need glasses. Really? You don't need glasses at all.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Really? I almost never say this. But you're familiar with the concept of 2020 vision, right? Well, sure. You see things that are 20 feet away as 20 feet away. Oh, I did not know that's what it meant, but I like it. That's what 2020 vision means. Your vision is more like 120.
Starting point is 01:01:27 Okay. Yes. Welcome to the bed and breakfast. Just so you know, our breakfast is at midnight, and our checkout time is at 11 a.m. We do have a saltwater pool, and will you be consummating the marriage today? Yes. my doctor and I are not married. This is an illicit affair. We've run from the office. We've run from the office. Because what started as a simple prescription for me to just get some progressive lenses has turned to love.
Starting point is 01:01:59 You look outside and they hit every telephone pole on the way there because you definitely needed glasses. We are going to have to charge you for that. Yeah. So we will need a credit card for incidentals. And by incidentals, I mean the whole facility. side of the building. We can use my credit card. Well, there is going to be a lot of come on the sheets, but we're going to leave a big tip. Thank you. A lot of cash. And I just say, you have Mustang eyes.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Oh, my father was a Mustang. I love that you said thank you to the come and not the money, too. There's going to be coming the sheets. Thank you. And we're going to leave money for it. Thanks. Sometimes a callback works, and sometimes it doesn't. And that might be one of the times where it didn't.
Starting point is 01:02:44 But, you know, I just, it's, you have to try it. You have to have fun with your friends. And Katie, Jim Crocey? My father was a Mustang? Jim Croce. Yeah. The car, by the way, not the horse. Jay, it was a tough game out there.
Starting point is 01:03:02 It was a hard game. How do you feel? You know, sometimes you just have to have fun with your friends out there. Sometimes. No care. Also, it's tough to play football when your dick so big. usually that's what gets in the way it's my big dick
Starting point is 01:03:15 I also love I love Holly's character at a shaman circle and staring out in the wilderness and being like oh a gray wolf and it's just like a stump or something like like clearly just 120 vision at work
Starting point is 01:03:30 I would like to see another scene actually is that crazy yeah please okay Katie you are a woman who wears glasses Holly I would love for you to play those glasses but you're getting a little old. Like the glasses are not working as well. And Katie, you're going to kind of let your
Starting point is 01:03:46 glasses down gently that you're going to have to buy a new pair. This slap machine, this slap machine seems a little grimy. Is it me? It might be you. It might be you. It's me. Yeah. But I just wanted to, I wanted to say how much I've appreciated all you've done for me and for the world, really, for for my world. Yeah. Yeah. It's been really helpful. Oh, it's nothing.
Starting point is 01:04:19 But you know how sometimes they put things out to pasture? Yeah. I mean, it always happens. Yeah, that's what happens to women over 40 in Hollywood. I've read all the articles. We've read those articles. And so let's think of you as a Julianne more type in that you're very pretty.
Starting point is 01:04:47 You're very pretty. Yeah. And you have, you will continue to have a purpose, but it's not going to be the same one that it was. We liked her in Big Lobowski, didn't we? That was thorough. That was fun. She's the one who taught us that if you want to get pregnant, you got to put your knees up after sex. Yep.
Starting point is 01:05:10 Yeah. She did teach us that. Yeah, you kind of kind of make it like your vagina is a runway and on a cliff's face. And, you know, it kind of has to like, so that the airplane can shoot right up there and land. Yeah. Julianne Moore has been in a lot of movies. A lot of movies. We've seen a lot of movies with her. And I think, you know, the thing about you, what you've always helped me do is not just see what's in front of me, but see what's going on beyond the Yeah. And I think you're going to really help someone else do that. Do you see what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:05:48 Oh, like I'll become some like prop glasses maybe that get discarded in a green room, you know, get used in multiple sketch shows for years on in until the... How fun would that be? That would be really fun until the building sells and it becomes like a hotel block. And then, you know, what'll become of me? Well, here's the thing. You're a collective. Yeah. You're never alone because you're with, you know, your glasses.
Starting point is 01:06:24 You're plural. And so no matter where you go, you will have someone with you, which is, I guess, you. I've never talked to the other glass. Yeah. Well, the other glass has been mute since and sex. Remember inception? Since the movie We loved that movie
Starting point is 01:06:44 That was a scene Oh my God I had a pair of glasses In a sketch show And then I was watching another Sketch show two years later And I was like Those are my glasses
Starting point is 01:06:55 It's so Purple frame Yeah It's the fate of every green room Yeah Holly your vagina's the runway John Mayer It's right
Starting point is 01:07:08 That's an old deep cut And you bubble gum, tongue. That's what John Bear said. Where is he? He's been quiet. He's been too quiet. He's been really quiet. I don't love that.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Yeah. Check your around. If he gets quiet, we get nervous. Yeah, right? And I know he's listening, but I would rather be shy above than John Mayer. Yeah. Say that. And that's, I agree.
Starting point is 01:07:33 GPC, maybe you, if you, you would be a, you would be Jonah mayor. Like, what's a, Joanna mayor? Jonah. I go into the machine and it gives me the same gender and put a knockoff John Mayer. I'm looking what the fuck is wrong with the machine. You're definitely not in the right machine. It does seem like from the creators of Joanna Man and white girls like,
Starting point is 01:07:54 Joanna Mayer. Sir, sometimes the machine malfunctions if people try to have sex with the machine while they're in the machine. Did you try to have sex with the machine in the machine? I left a tip. That's all that matters. Katie and Holly, the podcast is soccer moms. You can get it anywhere you get podcasts.
