Starting point is 00:00:01 This is a headgum podcast. Yarr, come hither, J.P.C. And let me tell you about tales from the Stinky Dragon, a Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcast. Oh, a Dungeons and Dragons actual play podcast. That sounds pretty fun, and I know a little something about that. Kind of do something similar. Do D&D shows have pirates?
Starting point is 00:00:27 Um, yeah, they can. They can be anything. They could be anything. And what Tales from The Stinky Dragon is, is an award-winning D&D comedy podcast hosted by an all-star team of writers, comedians, and voice actors. You can join along for an auditory adventure with immersive sound design, an original score, and gripping stories set in a fantasy world, and it's suitable for all ages, unlike anything I've ever done, yet full of complex characters that make you laugh and cry.
Starting point is 00:00:53 This podcast needs to be experienced by everyone, whether you're a season D&D player or someone completely new to the genre. And you're going to love it if you enjoy shows like Critical Role. roll, the Adventure Zone, Dungeons and Daddies, or hello from the Magic Tavern. I haven't heard of that one. You will love Tales from the Stinky Dragon. So discover why Tales from the Stinky Dragon continuously stands out among so many D&D shows. The hype is real.
Starting point is 00:01:18 Check out Tales from the Stinky Dragon anywhere you listen to podcasts or on YouTube.com slash at Stinky Dragon. That's Tales from the Stinky Dragon. Walk the Stank. That's good. Because Stinky, because Stinky. Yeah. And the Planky is stinky.
Starting point is 00:01:31 How did it get Sinky? Oh, also, Aaron jumped and floated away to space. Yard. Yard. Bark, park, park, JBC, me hungry. Adel, we've talked about this, my man. If you do that, I will feed you, but it will be dog food. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Okay. I mean, I think I know what's going on. You want the dog food because you know that I use. Dolly dog food. Rough rows. Ollie's fresh recipes are developed by real chefs and backed by vet nutritionists. They're obsessed with making the best meals with the highest quality ingredients for dogs. Now, I got to say, Adel, you can eat it.
Starting point is 00:02:15 I don't think you're going to like it as a human. This is specifically for dogs. It just looks and sounds so good. Also, with Ollie, you don't just get food through their app. You can actually check in on your dog's health with real vets. Just by uploading a picture of your dog, not of your Adel. their team can check in on your dog's weight, digestion, coat, all because they're obsessed with making sure your pup is as healthy as can be.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I wonder what happens if I upload a picture of Adel. Let me just try it now. They said, oh, they said this dog is very sick. Take this dog. Take this dog. It says to a people hospital. I switched to Ali. I tried it out.
Starting point is 00:02:50 My dog spaghetti absolutely went nuts for Ali. She is a dog, one of these types of dogs. I don't know if you heard of, have you heard of these types of dogs? She's a type of dog who you can put the food in her bowl, and then she'll just, like, see it in there all day and only eat it when she's hungry. Now, when it's time for dinner at about 4 o'clock every day, she comes up and starts snapping at me like, hey, man, get the Olly out of the French, put it in the bowl, dude. You've got to be getting faster at this. She absolutely loves it, and it's the first food that I've ever given her that she actually seems to be interested in. So get ready for both you and your pup to be obsessed.

It is a very savory crust. Are you making fun of us? Are you making fun of

Starting point is 00:05:27 Bon, Papa, Ta. Ah, you win. Adlerophy, what have you baked for us? Well, you just said she won, so it doesn't make sense
Starting point is 00:05:38 for me to even introduce my bake, does it? You said, she won. I mean... She was first, there's still eight of us to go. You took one bite, and you said...
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yeah. You said she won. Fuck. I mean, okay, yes. I mean. What have you made? Let me just, let me try.

Starting point is 00:06:18 Hell yeah. It looks down the line. hard choice to make. Here in the tent in the middle of England. Why are you doing that? I already made my choice. I got it wrong. You know, they punish us.
Starting point is 00:06:31 They punish us when we get it wrong. They come in, they knock them over the head with a rolling pin, they pull them out. They beat the shit out of Hollywood. You never speak up this again, do you? Is anyone going to try my gravy cake? Is no one going to try my gravy cake? Why? It's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:06:50 You didn't even try. You just poured gravy over a sheetcake you bought at a grocery store. I just poured gravy judge's heap cake. Judges were told not to try JPC's gravy cake for reasons unknown. And there's a second voice? Why is there two voices doing the thing? Speaking of two voices, I got to give a big shout out to my two favorite voices. Adler Fye, Aaron Keefe, I'm JPC.
Starting point is 00:07:16 This is Hey, Redder, Reddle. Welcome to the podcast. Welcome to the podcast. The podcast. Welcome to the podcast. Yeah. Does the sound of my voice irritate you guys after all these years?
Starting point is 00:07:29 The fuck. Does it trigger your fight or flight? Does it feel like you're about to have to do riddles every time you hear my voice? No. Don't fall into this. No, fall into the trap. I think women.
Starting point is 00:07:41 There you go. I think women. Aaron, would you ever do, and here's the thing, I don't even know if this is still a thing. Would you ever do an on-star narration. Does that make sense? Is that the car, a talking car thing?
Starting point is 00:07:57 Yes, but they used to have a thing. At some point, I feel like Hollow from the Magic Tavern was going to do our characters doing OnStar. And I forget how it works where I don't know if it's like you have to say 400 different syllables or something and then they can cobble it together. But it's so that if I have a, you know, 2018 Lincoln Continental, Aaron, I can turn on OnStar, and you go, hi, it's Aaron Keefe. Oh, yeah. 100%. I will do that. It will be so stressful.
Starting point is 00:08:28 I will make it feel like you're driving with your mom who has a stress response to driving in the car. I'd be like, look out. Oh, my God, sorry. Don't merge it to the highway. You're faster. I feel like I remember, like, did Samuel Jackson do one of those? I feel like there was like a smattering of celebrities with great voices that decided to
Starting point is 00:08:48 make money doing very little effort. You know how like we used to be able to download like ringtones and text tones pretty easily and everyone had like a different ring tone for different people who called them. Well, you can do that. And you were saying this used to be a nation, right? Aaron, you were saying this used to be a country? This used to be a country before woke.
Starting point is 00:09:10 But I've seen people who have fancy new cars are downloading audio sounds to have it be like when they turn on the car, a quote from something turns on. Whoa. Like I saw a woman who has the like the magic school bus like buckle your seatbelt sound whenever her car turns on. So what if we gave some people, some options from Hey Riddle Riddle that they could download and then have it have it be the sound when your car turns on? Oh, if only we had a way to isolate some sound bites of some options of things that people could say.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Forget it. I'm going to kill you. That's so scary Your car turns on I'm gonna kill you Your car turns on and Leapace Massaging Soup into Jake Jalenhall's mouth Okay
Starting point is 00:10:04 I should buckle up Yeah I should buckle up because I don't want that to be the last sound That I ever hear I'm a getty the spaghetti And I'ma eat it in one sitting Oh no, that's a new one. Oh, no, I don't like that at all.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Casey was that, Hugh? Sirps up, my guy, 100%. Casey gets to have a little fun. Everyone is about to. Can we make a car horn the Howard Dean scream? Do we have that technology? That would cure road rage. My car that I've had since 2019, maybe, 2018 or 2019.
Starting point is 00:10:44 It's very few things have gone. on wrong mechanically with it, but do you guys remember, like, in the pandemic during, like, the Black Lives Matter protests, people who still, like, were concerned about the virus because there was, like, not a lot of information in that summer. They did a lot of, like, car protests where, like, you would get in your car and do, like, a long line of cars, and, like, people were, like, honking their horns. I, my wife and a couple of friends, everybody masked up, did one of those car protests, and we, like, drove down and we were in the car, long led of cars, and I was honking the horn, and the horn did that thing where it went like, and then it just stopped working. So, like, the horn died.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Like, it ran out of horn juice, like, mid-protest. And then I was like, oh, no, this is like, this is embarrassing because what if people think that, like, I'm not a guy who is choosing to be here. I'm just a guy who's like, oh, can you believe this? I'm stuck. I'm stuck in this protest. Like, why are you not hucking your horn? Everyone around you is hucking your horn. So I had to get it like a horn replacement. The horn replacement, I was like, this is got to be like $100, right?
Starting point is 00:11:59 Can we guess? Yeah, please. Please. It would be outrageous to me if it was $300. Okay. Adel dee. And, Aaron, you know, because you've recently have had a car that has had... It got absolutely destroyed.
Starting point is 00:12:14 Yeah. I still don't have it back. Okay. Let's want to guess the amount that it costs and more what you ended up doing, which is just put a goose under your hood. Truly, after I heard how much it cost, I did think, do I need a horn? Like, is there a safety issue? No one ever uses the horn for any good reason. Do I need a horn?
Starting point is 00:12:37 $650 I paid to replace that horn. But when it died. I ran into that goose at a bar out of him. And he just looked really worse for wear. He's just crying over a glass of whiskey, being like, I fucking hate my job. I didn't wear the goose. Whoever saying I wore the goose is, that's not true. I did it.
Starting point is 00:12:56 It's a living. We're going to find you a new job, Greg. Come on. Come on. Greg loves what he does. I did it. I'm getting it replaced. But before I heard how much it was, I did, I was briefly considering, like, what
Starting point is 00:13:10 if I got one of those, like, comic horns? like Makukurach or something. Godfather the theme or something. God-paw the theme. But what I was going to do is I was going to get that, but not tell Mariah about it. So the first time she went to like honk the horn when she was driving the car by herself, she was like, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. You know, it's just like.
Starting point is 00:13:34 I thought that would be very funny. I ended up doing it. How much did it cost? $6.50. That's awful. Yeah. Also, recently I took my car in because the key fob stopped locking like the front door. And again, I took it into like a repair shop.
Starting point is 00:13:50 And it was $570 to get my front door to lock again. And I was like, oh boy, like this is just, I was like doing the math on how much the car costs. And I was like, okay, so it's like 8% of the car is the front door locking. That's like how the math works out on like what the breakdown is here. Key Fob and Horn is a grand. Yeah, that's... Yikes. So it's like, when you buy a car for $10,000, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:18 12% of the value is horn. Just like a Ryan. The sweet siren song of moving to New York at some point. Like, I'm just feeling the urge to for so many reasons. And... Mom Danny. Mom Danny. Zaran Mandani.
Starting point is 00:14:33 But I... One of the reasons is like the cost of paying for a car plus car insurance is so crazy. Yeah. is so crazy. And then also, everyone is so bad at driving in L.A. that people are constantly like, I think Riley's car has gotten swiped or scratched or dented three times in the last like couple weeks.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Like, it's just not worth it. I would, I'd be saving so much money if I lived in New York, which is such a crazy thing. I have friends who pay for, who live in New York, who pay for like a parking garage or spot. And it's about the cost of rent. Yeah, it's crazy. What are we doing?
Starting point is 00:15:11 That stuff is truly wild. Yeah. Well? Recently, I did the thing that I do every year. And I'm... Celebrate Christmas? I recently did it. I like to get it all done in the summer.
Starting point is 00:15:25 You know, Christmas is July, baby. Get it out of the way. Yeah. Well, you know, well, people aren't expecting the gifts. Yeah. But I would get in the mail a document from my home insurance and a car insurance company saying, hey, guess what? We're about to, we're about to bend you over.
Starting point is 00:15:39 and absolutely rim you down, Daddy. We're going to take everything that we could get. Because they, you know, like clockwork insurance, is like, hey, why don't we just charge this guy 500 more dollars? And everyone in the boardroom is like, yeah, sure, what's he going to do about it? So I do the thing where I like call and price shop and compare and, you know, whatever. Some things are impossible to cancel.
Starting point is 00:16:02 But when you call up your current insurance company and say, hey, I'm canceling my insurance. And they're like, yeah, why? And I'm like, because I got a much better price from someone who hasn't fucked me yet but will fuck me next year. And they're always just like, yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Of course. Of course, you know what we're doing to you.
Starting point is 00:16:17 We know what you're doing to you. And it's okay that you leave because you'll be back and we'll get you again. So run, Mom, Danny. It's so dehumanizing. We don't really own anything anymore, huh? No. Anyways. But for $5 a month, you can still get the new.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Caterallor thinking problems. Well, Aaron, we own all of our PS5 games, and that's not going away, right? Do we? No, Aaron, we know. Something in the news? Classically, we do not. When does that go into effect? That it's only, I feel like, is it PS5 or is it all systems where it's like all digital?
Starting point is 00:16:54 It's like, it's your PS3 games or something that you own on PS5. Like, they're all getting deprecated or. Oh, I thought PS5 games, because I went to like pre-order Wolverine, and I thought there's something where it was like, Yes, they're not selling hard copy anymore. I think it's all, they're moving to all digital. Yeah. Yeah, it's fun. It's also fun.
Starting point is 00:17:16 Isn't it the world fun? But before we get into Reynolds, I actually wanted to talk to you guys about something really fun that has happened, that happened to me recently. And I wanted to ask you guys because I think it's happened to me once before in my life, but I was so surprised this time. Have you guys ever had pepper fingers? What are you talking about? Okay, Erin, this feels like a trap.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Okay, what is he setting us up for? Okay, is this going to be like, have your head pepper fingers? And we go like, is that an appetizer? And he's like, no, Melissa Pepperfingers. Yeah. Like it's going to be a name or something. Melissa Pepperfingers. Oh, the one that got away.
Starting point is 00:17:53 She's going to try to get us to say. Pepper fingers. Melissa Pepper fingers. All right, what is this? So it's the thing when you're like cutting like a spicy pepper and you get it on your hand, but you whatever it like once the pepper oil mixes with your like finger oil it doesn't unmix so like even washing your hand it doesn't matter you're still going to get like a burn on your hand like a chemical burn ever have sex after doing that me neither well me neither man my hand burns time to rub this down on genitalia but no recently i was i was cooking pabloano peppers which are not like spicy peppers. No.
Starting point is 00:18:38 But I was doing that thing where, like, you, like, burn them on your stove, uh, just on the burner. Like, you don't, not in a pan or anything, blacken them and then, like, strip them of the, the pepper pods or the seed pods. Uh, but I got from a pabloa, Poblano, the worst case of pepper fingers. And it lasted, I kid you not, like four hours where, and I was like going online to be like, is this normal? How long does this last? And people are like, sometimes it can last up to two days.
Starting point is 00:19:04 And it does this thing where you'll. feel fine and you're like oh the fingers they finally stopped burning and then 20 minutes later it just comes back like full force they're like hey we found a new pocket of pepper in your fingers and now it's just back to burning I love the idea of like
Starting point is 00:19:19 you're just kind of a low tier X men now we'll probably never use you pepper fingers but maybe there's like a small task where what's the case where they need me we're going to keep you on the bench we're going to keep you on the bench pepper fingers but I just like
Starting point is 00:19:36 I feel like try not to get your hopes up that you're going to be part of any major battle. It's probably going to be something around the campus that we use you for, pepper fingers. But like, we care about you. We're happy you're here, obviously, obviously. Eight years later, they're like, we need a distraction. Can you put in a contact? And your reaction is going to cause people to run towards you? We need to have someone lose interest.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Can you tell that story about how you got your fingers covered in not even spicy chili pepper? What's the solution? Do you put your hand in rice or something? What do they tell you to do? That's the best part. I did like all of the solutions. They were like soak your finger in vegetable oil. They were like used donned dish soap like the like or like the grease cutting dish soap, not like finger soap.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Use that. The nothing. Soap. Yeah, I clocked that as well. No. Oh, hold on. Someone's ringing my doorbell. I quit the podcast.
Starting point is 00:20:33 We found out where JPC's money is going. He's not only buying hand soap, he's also buying finger soap. I'm buying finger soap, and it's a specific soap for each finger. So I hate, it's like fucking hot dogs and hot dog buns where they sell the index finger soap in a 24 ounce. And then they sell the pinky finger soap in a 16 ounce. And I'm like, I'm running out of my soap. Actually, those are all divisible by eight. You could probably make that work if you get it to.
Starting point is 00:21:00 But no, there's nothing that you can do. They say, like, you know, grin and bear it. A sauna. Dumb motherfucker. What about if you go into a sauna and you sweat it out? I guess since it's a chemical burn, it like just keeps burning. Like there's not until the chemical reaction like goes away, there's not really anything you could do. Yeah, that's what I said for four hours when I was like, hey, this sucks.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Mm. I was trying to mitigate the pain for a while, but then eventually I was like, you know what? I'm just going to live with it. Now I just live with it until it goes away. And when it goes away, I'll feel good again. And that's marriage. That's marriage. Marriage is your wife being like, okay, still hurts.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Still can't really do the dishes because your chemical burn hurts. Okay. That makes sense. I guess you are technically injured. So that's marriage. And we love it. And I'm guessing that besides Aaron who fucked a pepper or whatever she said, you guys have never. I did not say that.
Starting point is 00:21:59 I said I made love to a pepper. Hey. What type, Aaron? Um, what's the funniest one to say? We'll go over to my comedy whiteboard. Let's see. One that was just wearing a sock over his cock. Yeah, I can do that.
Starting point is 00:22:13 Pickle pepper. Anthony Kittis. Pepper from Iron Man. I could write that down. Pepper and. Would you believe there's a red hot chili pepper lyric that goes, I know, I know for show that life is beautiful around the world. Ding, ding, ding, ding dong, ding dong.
Starting point is 00:22:32 There's no way for me to fact check this. This is a real trust fall for me, okay? I'm going to believe you. But if I find out that that's not true and I say that at a party, you're toast. You're dead meat, pal. I'm going to punch you like you're a goose horn. I'm going to punch you over and over again
Starting point is 00:22:47 like you're a goose horn and I'm in traffic. Don't punch me like I'm a goose horn. Don't punch me like I'm a goose horn. I'm going to punch you like you're a goose horn. And pop. And pop. Squank, squank, squank. What I got to get to give it to you.
Starting point is 00:23:02 your mama? What I got to give it to your father? Red hot chili peppers, maybe. Give it away, give it away. Can I have some riddles, please? I'm very hungry. Starving even. You've been good, so you can have some riddles. And because you're very hungry and I love to support my hungry girl. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Adel? JPC? Oh, man, I'm here alone.

And I want to tell you about a traumatic experience that I had recently. Now, if you listen to the show, you know I'm a big foodie. I love restaurants. I love restauranteuring. I love going out to eat. But a lot of times because of how I am, it's hard to get a group of people to want to dine with me. So I go to a lot of restaurants solo. Now, classically, I like to go to restaurants. I like to go to restaurants. I don't like to dress up.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I don't like to put on airs. So I do eat out a lot of restaurants wearing a potato sack with armholes cut out. And not really leg holes cut out because it's just the bottom of the sack. I guess there is a head hole for me to stick my head out of the sack if I remember. But recently I was eating in a restaurant and they kicked me out because they didn't like the potato sack that I was wearing. I'm sorry. It's hard for me to talk about this. So I went to Quince because Quince is all about fewer better pieces.
Starting point is 00:25:32 their clothes are made with premium materials built to last and designed to become the ones you reach for day after day. And they will not scratch you like a potato sack. They will not hurt you like a potato sack. And they, for the most part, do not smell like potatoes. Quince specializes in everyday staples that work harder, like their ultra-soft organic cotton teas and premium Mongolian cashmere sweaters. They're versatile timeless and transitioned seamlessly from casual workday to dinner out. I love my Mongolian cashmere sweater that I got at Quince. I wear it whenever I have the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:25:59 I am so excited for fall because I will get to fall back into that sweater. Summer's been really hard for me because I have been wearing so many potato sacks, and they are scratchy and uncomfortable, and you cannot buy them at Quince. Everything at Quince has priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. They work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen, so you're paying for high quality, not brand markup. And it's not just clothing quince has become my go-to for everything from hotel quality bedding and bath essentials to premium cookware and travel must-haves.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Now, I know I said they have premium cookware, potato sacks are not cookware. I know it's because you cook and you wear it. But potato sacks are not something. You are not fine potato sacks at Quince. Do not even look. So upgrade your every day. Download the Quince app for app exclusive offers or go to quince.com slash riddle. Get free shipping on your order and 365 day returns now available in Canada and the UK too.
Starting point is 00:26:48 That's Q-U-I-N-C-E dot com slash riddle. And do not mention that you used to wear potato sacks to anyone ever. Well, guys, I got to go. I'm taking Square Bear, my new best friend, out to a very first friend out to a very fancy dinner because I saved a bunch of money using rocket money. Whoa. Shee honey?

Starting point is 00:33:40 They call them women shy. Woman shy. My favorite is when they say confirm bachelor. I think that old-timey term is like, just chef kiss. All of these were used in Lindsay Graham's obituary, correct? Her long-term roommate and pen pal. They shared a bed. A very affectionate friendship.

Starting point is 00:45:08 like did you guys ever have to do this is like a typical fourth or fifth grade project where you pretend to be a historical figure and then like people in your school walk around and then you give like a little presentation? So you're like a fifth grader and you're like a fifth grader and you're dressed like, let's say, a random choice, Abigail Adams,
Starting point is 00:45:25 and you're wearing a dress that you wore as a junior bridesmaid. And you're like, hello, Abigail Adams was born in Massachusetts in 17-something, and blah, blah, blah. And so I think Clara Barton would be one of those people. What? This might be a thing that they only do to people who are from the East Coast,
Starting point is 00:45:45 where all the historical figures are from. I know, but also someone was like Michelle Kwan in ours. Like, you just kind of pick a big, figure and then you do a big project on them and then you talk as them. I was Nolan Ryan for mine. I guess, yeah, looking back, I was also Michelle Quatt. So it was a different time. I used to write my husband letters asking him to remember the ladies.

I do think there are people like this in Chicago that just have like trucks with like kind of cages on the back, like pickup trucks. And they will go through alleys and like pick up scrap metal. So maybe, maybe if I'm being generous, I could say he's one of these scrap metal guys. But no, that is not, it is not the case. Joe is not the father. Okay.

Starting point is 00:56:17 This one's a bit of a party you had? Right, right, right. Okay, so there's this pawn shop that you see on the way from Chicago. If you drive across to Indiana on your way east, there's this huge pawn shop that you can see from the highway called Big Pond. It's huge red letters. And the first time we passed by that, I said to say, Sarah. You know what would be a better name for that store? Jumbo Shimp.
Starting point is 00:56:47 Did she roll out of the car? She did. She crashed the car. So, uh, Shimp. So big isn't Jumbo. Uh-huh. Shimp is like prawn without the R. Shimp, shrimp without the R. I got it. And I love it. And I was there. I was, I totally, I was on that train going in the right direction. Instead of big prawn being changed the big pond, you got jumbo shrimp being paid. I was like, jumbo the fourth stooge? Right, right.
Starting point is 00:57:22 He's the fifth stooge. Anyway, and then Sarah and my wife did a whole presentation on very specific romance novel suggestions because she reads a lot of romance novels. Oh, nice. So that was really fun. Yeah. Anyway, so what's your presentation about again? Mine is about Q3. And it's me trying to figure out what that really means.
Starting point is 00:57:41 One of our better cues. One of our better cues. I like, didn't the guy who's the Marmalade Bear? Who's the little Marbleade Bear? Paddington. Winnie the Pooh? Winnie the Pooh. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:57:53 The guy who voiced Paddington, wasn't he Q in the recent bonds? Ben Wischaw. Oh, yes. Yeah. He's R, isn't he? Oh, R. Never mind. They move on to R.
Starting point is 00:58:05 I believe that's right. What? No, they don't. Why would they do that? Isn't the whole point of James Bond that he's like replaceable? There's been a thousand James Bond. There can't be like multiple cues. Huh.
Starting point is 00:58:15 I don't know. Look, I'm pissed off again. I'm activated. So N and R are going to tell 007. Right. 007. Yeah. Point one.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Hmm. Hmm. All right. We've made lots of progress already. Well, wonderful. Hi, Sandy. Yes, please. Hi.
Starting point is 00:58:37 One puzzle, Daddy. Oh, just one. I've done so. I've done so much extra work. I, all right. So I've been thinking about getting a tattoo and I've seen, well,
Starting point is 00:58:52 it's got to be something if I get, I don't have one, and I probably will never get one. But I've thought about it. And I thought, well, if it's going to be, it's got to be something puzzly.
Starting point is 00:59:00 So what would I do? So for the, for the puzzle today, I came up with a list of possible tattoos that I might get. Okay. And the trick is that I'm going to give you a clue for what they are or a description of what they are. Your answer is a rhyming or sorry, two words that rhyme. That also rhyme with a part of the body where this tattoo would go.
Starting point is 00:59:24 So for example, if I said it's going to be a pair of buzzing insects taking an afternoon break, you'd say B.T. Oh, man. Bees knees. Well, be on your knees, exactly. BT on your knee. B-T on your knee. On your knee. So that's it.
Starting point is 00:59:44 All right. And then at the end of this, we can decide which one I should get. Gotcha. Each of us, I assume, we'll get one of these. Yeah. Oh, yeah, I'll do it. Okay. Crew, maybe?
Starting point is 00:59:52 I, unfortunately, already have knee bees, but they're internal. Oh, no. Internal tattoos? No, the doctor said it was one of the deepest things he's ever seen. A fucker went clean through. I think he was going about 1,000 miles an hour when he hit my knee. And JAPC, you are leaking funny, hunty. That is a persistent problem for me.
Starting point is 01:00:13 I can't do this today. I haven't used my brain yet, and this is going to be really tricky for me. I feel like someone just woke me up from a deep sleep and said, Aaron, take the SATs. Wake up. You're taking the SATs right now. Right. Just put it all on the record. It is 3 a.m. for you, right, Aaron?
Starting point is 01:00:29 Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not 11, 14 in the morning. Right. I took the morning off. I'm wearing my pajamas. puppy is to dog as full is to... Aaron, wake up.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Oh, my God. Empty? Aaron, wake up, you're in community college. Oh, God, here we go. I thought that sentence was going to end at community. She was on the show, community. Oh, I bought community college. Aaron, wake up your Allison Bree.
Starting point is 01:00:59 Oh, fantastic. Okay. Well, this is way better. Having a nightmare and saying, oh, fantastic. All right, so number one, it's a tattoo of a cruise. liner packed wall to wall with salsas. Or I guess keel to keel. Yeah, keel to keel, thank you.
Starting point is 01:01:17 A shiptee on your hip. There you go. It's a ship dip on your hip or a dip ship on your hip. What about your hip dip? What about it? Well, that we could just add that word too and I feel like it would be even longer, funnier sort of sentence. Definitely. Ship dip on your hip dip. Trip dip flip fantango.
Starting point is 01:01:38 How about a garment? Being grated. A garment being grated. A vest test on your chest? You're halfway there. Vest. Zest. Zest.
Starting point is 01:01:50 A vest being zest on your chest. That one's in the running right now. For yours. How about... I thought you said... I heard graded like ABCD. That would be test. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:04 Oh, graded would be test. You said grated. Yes, it says. Okay. I just said graded. Yeah. But I slurred it because I don't... speak good.
Starting point is 01:02:12 I don't hear good. A piggy wrapped up in vegetation. Hog log. Swine. Pine. Swine vine. Spine. On your spine?
Starting point is 01:02:27 Spine vine on your spine. Swine vine on your spine. Doesn't that seem like a good tattoo? I love it. No, not especially. What's a swine vine? Is it like a normal vine except it's made of pigs? Like a barrel of monkeys? The vine is surrounding this, is enveloping this wine and choking it.
Starting point is 01:02:49 Yeah. The only thing that I worry about is if I went to a group of people, casual group of friends or maybe just a shirt off. No, just say I'm fully clothed and people are talking about tattoos and I say, do you want to see my swine vine? I think that people might think that that means something else. And you're like, no, no, no, let me undress to explain. Unlike when I say, do you want to see my hog log? All right. How about this one?
Starting point is 01:03:19 I love the bric-a-brac you could get from hoggy-locky. There's certainly no opportunity for misinterpretation on this one. They're all Republicans. Yeah. Oh, my God. Repubbacans? Repubacans. Republicans.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Republicans. That sounds like, like, like. Some conservative has like a book that's, you know, Republic Bacons and Dima cramps. Don't worry, Aaron. You're going to wake up soon. This is all a bad dream where everyone. Dima eggs.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Repub bacon. Republican and Dima. Dimmaple sauce. Dimp apple sausage. Diff apple sausage. I'm done. I'm done on Dimm apple sausage. How do you like them?
Starting point is 01:04:07 How do you like them? And diner. Dinercrats. Republicans and dinercrats and it's a heartland guide to... To breakfast in politics. Do you like dinercrats? How do you like them dinercranc? Oh, no, this is not...
Starting point is 01:04:21 This is hard. Eric, between the three of us, I think we have one bad consultant that is available for hire. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this is what their presentation is going to be about. Yeah. How about this one? A tattoo of dessert for zombies. Brain...
Starting point is 01:04:38 Flawn. Okay. It's not the brain that it would be good. But it's hard to tattoo the brain. Plush. Flesh. Skin. Cake, pie.
Starting point is 01:04:50 Pye. Pye on your... I would actually... Die. Die pie on your thigh? On your thigh of a pie of eyes. Meaning a zombie would might eat a pie of eyes, but it would go on your thigh. Got it.
Starting point is 01:05:04 Got it. Got it. I guess a zombie could eat anything. Yeah. I mean, famously brains, right? Famously brains. That's what I've heard. Dogs.
Starting point is 01:05:14 They prefer brains, but they'll eat whatever. To get the brains, they have to go through the eyes, though. That's the most direct route to the brain. Yeah. Yeah, Egyptians knew that, yeah. I should have just said a cannibal. All right. Edit for the next time I talk about this.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Edit. How about me, a picture of me skewering some, or anyone, skewering some seafood? A skewer of some seafood. A kebab? Pierce, skewering, stab, flab. Scrab. Stab crab.
Starting point is 01:05:49 It's not just one crab. Stab crabs. Abbs on your abs. On your abs. Well, I said flabbing. For me, it's the same difference. So it all works out. Yeah, JPC, the fattest man I know.
Starting point is 01:06:02 I didn't say fat. I said flabby. You could be thin and flabby. You're so tidy. Also, It's so cranny. It's cravy. How about a pint of ale in an unusually round vessel?
Starting point is 01:06:18 Beer. Beer on your ear. On your ear. That would be hard. Beer on your ear, yeah. That'd be really hard. Not if you got flabby ears like me. Don't, don't say it.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Don't talk about my friend like that. Don't say it. No, come on. No. Stop. No. No. We've been doing it.
Starting point is 01:06:37 that all week. No, no. Stop using Ozempic on your ears. Earsimbek. Okay. No, that's nothing. Stop ready to get down. All right, this one I think you're going to want to get.
Starting point is 01:06:48 This is going to be in the running for opportunities. Toy dog eating soup locky. Toy dog eating soup. Poodle noodle on your. Kitten coop. On your titties. On your tities. So it's on your noodle.
Starting point is 01:07:07 No. It's not a poodle. Poodles can be toy, but this one is canonically toy. Shitsu. I don't think they come bigger. Pomeranian. It's not a Pomeranian. It's not a Pomeranian. Okay. Chihuahua on your hoo-ha. It's actually kind of a nickname for... Can you get the same tattoo twice?
Starting point is 01:07:32 Legally no. Do you have a chihuahua on your hoo-ha? What are you talking about? Yes, obviously. Terrier on your derrier. Oh, derrier. God damn it. All right. Is that not it?
Starting point is 01:07:47 Aaron now has my job. Oh, my God, I don't want it. I don't want it. Sandy, I don't have a brain that works. Please take your job back. Much like Adam Driver, Sandy just threw a chair near Aaron. A scarier terrier on your derrier.
Starting point is 01:08:01 And then we're done. And we're done. No, this is a shorthand for a small, poofy dog with a silly face that also rhymes with something where a Sublocki comes from. Pug, pug, pug. Greece. Mug.
Starting point is 01:08:14 A Greek? No. Greek? Greek. On your beak. Wait, what's Greek? What's Greek? Okay.
Starting point is 01:08:24 What's the dog? Rimes with Greek. It's a shorthand for this kind of dog. Greek. Well, where is it going to go on your body then? Peak. Cheek. On your widow's peak.
Starting point is 01:08:38 What's a peak? Oh, a Pekingese. Pekanese. A Pekinese. Says the peak. You've heard of Pekinese, right? You want a Pekinese? I've heard of Pekinese.
Starting point is 01:08:47 I don't think I've ever heard of them shortened to a peak. Wow. I'm not in the Pekinese community. A lot of dog parks more often. No, don't. And if you don't know. You have a dog, right, JP's. Yeah, I have a dog.
Starting point is 01:09:01 I don't have. Go ask your dog about peaks. They know. She's not talking to me right now. your quality is bad. I can't take her on walks. She's pretty pissed off at me. So a Greek peak on your cheek. I think that would look great.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Also, I'm a dog. I have a dog. I don't have a small dog's to me or it's like a completely separate world. I just, I can't interact in that world. Right. I'm with you. I feel like I have a small dog and my dog's 50 pounds. Really? Mine's only 40 pounds. That's not a small dog. 50 pounds. It's like half a human.
Starting point is 01:09:33 Yeah, that's true. And it's bigger than some of the humans of my house. I'll say that. Exactly. One of my great joys in life is watching the Was it the Westminster Kennel Dog Show or whatever Around Thanksgiving? And I love Whenever they do the names where it's like dogs, I couldn't come up with in my wildest dreams
Starting point is 01:09:49 Where they're like, the Portuguese Pekino Puccano. You're like, that did not exist yesterday. I can't prove it. They just made this up, but I would die for this dog. Also, they're talking about the breed name, but also their name names are like, they have all the lineage of their like ancestry and their name.
Starting point is 01:10:05 It's like 17 names long. Yeah. They're like, This is Little Swan named after Proust. And it's always like, what the fuck? And then the next one is like,
Starting point is 01:10:12 this is Max named after Tom Hardy. I like it when they jump through those little hoops. And then one of the dogs inevitably doesn't clear the hoop and the guy with the long gun comes out. And then the camera kind of pans to the audience reaction. And you have, you know, people spill their tea and going,
Starting point is 01:10:28 Oh. I like that part too. Guarantee you one of those guys has a tattoo of a peek on a cheek. Of course. Yeah. How about a coffee urn, a tattoo of a coffee urn that's 50% full? Hmm. A craff. Half a craff on your...
Starting point is 01:10:49 Calf. Calf. At this point, we've got our entire leg covered. We got calf thigh. You got sleeves and thighis. What would you call sleeves on your legs? Oh, sleeves ain't pants, stockings? Pants.
Starting point is 01:11:04 I have pants. Slits on your legs. I mean, that's pants, right? Am I crazy? Well, we don't call sleeve shirts. That's a good point. That is a good word. How about someone kissing a computer?
Starting point is 01:11:20 Ooh, a curve. Robot. Kissing a computer. That's another word for a nerd. Mac. A PC. Oh, a smooch. On your cooch.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Not smooch. Oh, that's good. A peck. A peck. A peck is a peck on your neck. A tech on your neck. A tech on your neck. A tech on your neck.
Starting point is 01:11:43 Which is what someone has that. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Someone has that, right? Oh, yeah. Man. At that Google campus when they don't let them go home and there's like sleep pods everywhere, you know, there's tons of tech pecks going on.
Starting point is 01:11:56 Come on. How about? That's awesome. About attaching. of Dale lashing his friend. A whip chip on your hip again? We already did hip. On your nip.
Starting point is 01:12:11 Oh, that's good. I was thinking lip. Lip. Yeah. I think you should get that tattoo. A lip tattoo is fun because you can hide it. Uh-huh. As long as it's an inner lip tattoo, I guess.
Starting point is 01:12:20 You got to hide it, but then you're obliged to show it to everyone and then you're constantly like peeling your lip over. Yeah. Aaron, would you do me a huge favor? Mm-hmm. Would you Google image search Chippendale BDSM? Yep. And just let me know.
Starting point is 01:12:32 she's going to find I can hear a helicopter landing on my roof they're here to congratulate me oh porn came up right away porn came up right away I thought that would maybe be a couple things that weren't before porn oh no on my desktop on my mild non-bDSM porn
Starting point is 01:12:53 how did you spell Chippendale oh on my desktop like it's 2003 and that's my only option I have also looked this up, and it is porn. However, it's not Chippendale. It says it's Chippendale, but it is like, who as I remember are male chipmunks? Is that right? Yes, but there's also Chippendales, which is like.
Starting point is 01:13:16 No, I know that. This is, though, this is based on Chippendale, the chipmunks. These are all coded as women chipmunks. I wonder why mostly men who draw that stuff would go out. Yes, I'm writing an angry letter. Oh, here we go. I found the one with Chip. There we go.
Starting point is 01:13:32 Great. Oh, good. I'm glad I have this in my brain now. I'm going to Google brain shower. Lobotomies, cheap or free Los Angeles. Just make sure you put BDSM at the end. Brain shower BDSA. All right.
Starting point is 01:13:49 A couple more. My parent chaperoning high school dance. My parent chaperoning high school dance. Okay. Dad. mom or dad mom prom on your arm arm on your mom mom mom mom mom on your thumb that's awesome palm palm mom mom mom on your palm yeah that's crazy because a couple of us are we didn't really get there on your thumb on your thumb on your thumb I broke my thumb he was holding up his hand I saw it Thaum. What am I supposed to do? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:34 If someone pronounced it Tham, I wouldn't be able to focus for three weeks. I'd be like, Tom. Thumb. Tom. I was listening to a podcast earlier today, and one of the hosts of the podcast said Mona. And he said Mona twice before I realized he was talking about the film Moana. And he had never, I guess he was not aware of the film Moana and had never heard it.
Starting point is 01:14:59 Or like, he had just like kind of seen it spell that took it a guess. And I was like, Mona is a wild swing for Moana. Do you watch Drowning Moana? Drowning Mona, but thought it was... I was in Europe. Earlier this summer, we saw a movie in a French movie theater. Maybe it was when we were in France or Spain, but we saw a movie in a theater.
Starting point is 01:15:20 When it was in English with subtitles. Okay. The preview, however, was... One of the previews was for the live-action Moana that's coming out. Sure. And in France, or again, maybe Spain, they call it something else. Her name is not Moana.
Starting point is 01:15:34 So they do the whole preview and you're like, okay, I'm ready for them to say, my name is Moana or whatever the song goes. Sure. Not Moana. Totally different name. It's like Viana. There's no Moana. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:15:47 I am Vienna. Yeah. Do we all do it for like the cultures that we've colonized? So is it like a different island group for France? Because they didn't quite make it that far when they were doing their colonization missions? Oh, because it's a story about. It's a story about the Polynesian culture, I think, but I don't know if in France they like code it differently to like make it susceptible to it French.
Starting point is 01:16:10 Right. Moana starring Le Boulde. Which is wild to me that they would change the name. I guess if they're dubbing, they can do whatever they want, but they would change a name that is used probably hundreds of times in the script. Yeah, I thought names were transferable. It's not the word, but I thought it was just like, your name is your name. it doesn't really translate to other, yeah. It's always kind of interesting to me
Starting point is 01:16:33 when an animated film like that comes out in a bunch of different, you know, nations. But it's not animated, right? It's live action. Yes, you're right. Moana is live action. I guess it could be the same thing with, I guess it's different for, like, dubbing,
Starting point is 01:16:49 but they get, like, different celebrities. Like, there's a Japanese celebrity who's doing the voices for, you know, the animated movie that comes out here. It's always fun to see, like, you'll see in the credits sometimes who played the cast in the other nations. You're like, yeah,
Starting point is 01:17:04 we think Robin Williams is genie, but somewhere else in the world, there's like some other guy who's like, he's the Nepalese genie. I want to know a crazy coincidence. I did a voice, a couple voices for Pixar show called Win or Luz.
Starting point is 01:17:20 And when we were in Denmark teaching classes, a guy who I'd been with all week, he was like doing the workshops, we were talking about like animated work and voiceover work. And he started saying like kind of hinting at details. He was like, well, yeah, I'll do like the Danish of a lot of American comedies. Like I'll get cast in these things.
Starting point is 01:17:40 And it was like right after I had found out I had gotten it. And no one knew. And I was like, he started hinting at it. I was like, are you doing something for like, is that a Pixar show? And he's like, how do you know that? That's great. Like I'm not supposed to tell anybody. And I was like, we are doing.
Starting point is 01:17:56 So I was like, I wonder if like, that's. So crazy. You are very good at puzzles. I know. I was so, I was like, what are the chances to run into someone who also knows about this top secret thing? It was so cool. Japs, I don't know if I've ever told you this, but one of my summer intensive classes years ago, I had, I think she was Polish. There's a Polish woman in my class who said she did voiceover work.
Starting point is 01:18:21 And after the week was done, I was like, you never told me what, what, like, voiceover work do you do? And she goes, oh, it's mostly video games. And I said anything I know. And she goes, I play all the women in The Witcher 3. And at the time, I was like, oh, very good. Because I didn't know the game. And then through you, I learned, I'm like, oh, that's one of the biggest games of all time. Didn't she also do mocap for it, too?
Starting point is 01:18:43 Or was it just voices? Yeah. Okay. Well, Sandy, we went down memory later. We ran out of time for your fucking game or whatever. So, do you know? That can only be half covered in tattoos now. rest of them are going to go undone.
Starting point is 01:18:58 We'll have to, at a later date, we'll have to get you further tatted up. But in the meantime, do you have anything that you would like to plug? Yeah. I want to plug Rattle, which I've plugged every time. I've been on the show for the last year and a half when I'm still plugging away at it. It is recently past 500 rattles in a row, 500 days of making Rattles. Thank you. As of this recording.
Starting point is 01:19:21 And Rattle is my daily word game. So if you like word games and you are bored with the stuff that you're, you're you see on the New York Times and LinkedIn go to rattle dot Quest R-A-D-D-L-E or just Google it. It's anagram of the word ladder. It is a word ladder transformation game. But
Starting point is 01:19:39 it's really fun. So, still making that every day and I'm still making team building games under the name Mystery League. M-Y-S-D-E-R-Y-L-E-A-G-U-E. I was like, certainly he must finish it. He must finish the G-U-E.
Starting point is 01:19:56 You got to put a little sauce on it. You got to give a little tension. What if you got a ladder on your bladder? Aaron, one other word. Bill. Bill. He'd be sad. Thank you.
