You guys, I didn't put on deodorant this morning.
Can we hurry this along? I can smell myself.
Aaron, we're in olden time. No one's wearing deodorant, I don't think. Everyone's got like bags of flowers or whatever.
Well, you smell amazing. I feel like an idiot.
Thank you.
Oh, well, I mean, Adel and I have deodorant because we're like, you know, humans and we put it on in the morning.
You're hurting my feelings. You must know that you're hurting my feelings, right?
Must I?
I guess I must.
My general overall point was, can we pick up the pace on this?
Like, I don't want this to be like a month, you know?
Like, I don't think this needs to be a full month worth of stuff.
Like, let's just figure this out next 15 minutes, do a chatterbox, do like a small, medium or large, yes.
Aaron, is that since you smell like shit, I don't know, should also smell like shit.
So we should really quick roll around and pig shit together.
Okay, if you want to roll around in pig shit, baby see.
I do.
I really just want somebody to tell me that that's what a good boy would do.
Oh, wait a minute.
Here's a wooden sign.
I assume it's wood.
I don't know what signs were mad.
Back now.
Take a bite, Mr. Bight.
Oh, it's chocolate.
Whoa.
I guess that's why they call it the Dark Ages because we didn't know that they made signs out of chocolate.
Well, before you ate it, it said castle is this way.
So it looks like where's the right track.
Let's hurry there.
I'm sure there'll be more pig shit.
We can roll in later.
Let's go ahead and we're going to get to.
King Bumble's Castle right now.
And I think,
it's obviously that's the way that we get home.
Why do we think we're doing this?
Oh.
I mean, obviously it's like typical quest stuff.
You go to the castle.
You talk to the king.
You get to go home.
Can I tell you a funny story
of something that happened to me last week?
I went to the show and I had to get my will call tickets.
And I went up to a security guard.
And I said, excuse me, where do you pick up the will call tickets?
And he went, there's a sign.
And he pointed at a sign.
and the sign was an arrow and there was a child at the sign spinning it around in every direction
and then I looked back at him and he was like is that way that's true anyways yes yeah what do you guys
think like typical quest stuff like we go to the king yeah king tells us if we pass the test
and then we get to go home and put on deuterrent yeah I guess and he might kill us too
Chris right because like of what we did or whatever oh yeah I guess kings can always kill you if they
want it's so it's like um a connecticut kid and king arthur's court or whatever loosely what
it's based on yeah well that's what this is based on yeah loosely based on black night
yeah it's loosely based on they're gonna gonna get it gonna go bing bam we're at the castle here we go
okay crossing the bridge oh oh i'm sorry you think you go across this bridge oh you think you think you're just gonna come
across this bridge
I'm not frank
like you own this bridge
like your feet were made
for walking across bridges
I'm not frank
I don't know who you think I am
this is Adol
I'm JPC
ooh I want to say it's
Are you kidding we've been working together
Seven years and known each other
Is it Henri?
That's Onri
Aaron
Erin
I'm not good with names
I'm not good
If you had a dog
I'd know your dog's name
before I
know your name and I prefer it to
be that way. Isn't that always
the way it is? It's the way it is
if I had kids, it'd be the same
fucking thing.
We are going to do the
thing that people do with bridges and we're
just going to waddle on over
it. No. No.
Oh, kind of blocking the way
there. Very sorry, very sorry,
but them's not the bridge
rules. Oh. Oh, you know
from around these parts that you know how to crush
a bridge that you have to interact with the bridge.
This is good. Yes, you've identified it. Nail on the head. We're not from around these parts. We don't actually know what we're doing here. We assumed that we could rock across this bridge and we are now being told that that is incorrect. Are you speaking with authenticity or are you speaking with sarcasm at me?
Oh, it's DPC. How to explain my whole thing.
Give me the elevator pitch. What's your thing?
You guys have elevators?
I would say, I would say I'm not a serious person, but in serious situations, I try to approach them with the grace and a plumb that they deserve.
Don't lie.
Well, why not?
Tell the truth.
This person doesn't know me.
They said the elevator pitch.
Okay, the elevator pitch of JPC is he's a chaotic neutral.
Wait, Eric, go, in a world.
In a world.
In a world.
He set you up in a way.
Oh, that's actually really good.
JPC is chaotic neutral.
Just because he knows how to do his taxes
doesn't mean he's making society any better.
Adel, Aaron,
ever feel like managing your business finance
this is a full-time job on top of your actual full-time job?
Oh, say it, J-PC.
Or sing it, whatever it feels best.
So hold on
You want me to do all the finances
And you also want me to write
Songs for the finances
Well you know what
It did feel like a full
I'm not going to do that
Full time job until I started using found
Found is a business banking platform
To let you effortlessly track expenses
Manage Invoices and prepare for taxes
You can even set aside money
For different business goals
And control spending with different virtual cards
I have saved so much money
because Found helps me identify tax write-offs,
and I've saved so much time
that I can now devote to chasing new opportunities
and doing the work I enjoy,
like writing original songs for the ads.
Hmm.
And Found users have said amazing things like
Found is going to save me so much headache.
It makes everything so much easier,
expenses, income, profits, taxes, invoices even.
And Found has 30,000 five-star reviews
just like this.
Okay.
Now, this is the part of the ad
where they just say host ad,
And I think what they mean when they say host ad libiddy-bap-d-da-da-da-d-da-d-d-d-d-d.
I'm so glad that I found, found, because my business needs I'm met, and I'm going to the moon.
I took it too far.
Take it too far.
Pull-back, pull-back, curtain, curtain.
Open a found account for free at f-o-u-n-d-com.
Found is a financial technology company, not a bank.
Banking services are provided by lead bank member FDIC.
Don't put this one off.
Join thousands of small business owners who have streamlined their finances with Found.
Hit it, JPC.
Oh, I'm streamlining all of my finances with Found.
That wasn't real disclaimer text.
No, no, no.
That's part of the song.
It's part of the song.
Addle JPC.
Do you notice it?
Come in, come in, come in, come in, come in.
Okay.
Do you notice anything different?
10 inches taller.
Thank you.
No.
Oh, no.
For her.
Oh, no, we were just, oh, Adela and I were staring into each other's eyes and kind of
feeling each other's arms.
No, Aaron, let's focus on you or whatever.
What's your thing or whatever?
I texted you, said, come over.
I need attention.
Also, I got something new from my house.
Ooh, what did you get?
Personality.
Hits my new rug from Quince.
Oh, that's amazing.
Gorgeous.
Ooh, is that 100% Mongolian cashmere?
No, that's my sweater.
That's my sweater you're feeling.
Oh, sorry, let me step off you.
That would be insane for a rug.
And I bet it was so expensive, right?
Not wrong.
It was just $60.
There's classic denim I can get from Quint, real leather, wool outwear, and my new rug.
Look, I'm making a snow angel on my new rug.
I'll look in a minute.
I'll look in a minute, Aaron.
I'm looking into JPC's eyes.
Now, JPC, I feel like you would look amazing in their suede trucker jacket.
It's perfect for layering.
even though you've got these, you know, 10-inch pythons now,
these big biceps, it just looks really casual but put together.
And by partnering directly with ethical factories and top artisans,
Quince cuts out the middleman to deliver premium quality
at half the cost of similar brands.
And Adel, I gotta say, it looks like somebody cut the middle out of you
and just left fucking chiseled abs.
What's going on?
You guys, you guys, I've been sick.
I'm not just obsessed with their rugs, but I also love their bedding.
I have their sheets, bath, cookware, travel accessories, and my wardrobe.
What do you guys do?
Yeah, cool.
Why aren't you looking to me?
It's all amazing, Aaron, just calm down.

The squeak wall.
We got to go
Bye, Aaron, bye
Why is that bad?
So you know our names
That's Adel
I'm JPC, this is Arlen
What is your name?
My name is Kevin
Kevin. Kevin the Bridgemaster
I'm the bridgemaster
And when I earlier referenced
An elevator pitch
I don't know if you're familiar
From around these parts to know
That is when you say,
Elle, and then you go, evader,
which means like, oh, what the hell, get, get away.
So it's something you say to get away from somebody.
El, evader.
Oh, an evader, an elevator.
We have elevators back where we're from.
Oh, so?
The Chicago police shoot them.
As long as the trains run on time, which is fine.
You guys have trains.
do you know the band train
I don't know them
but I'm a huge in there
magical
let me tell you what
other time
there's three gents
they come to the bridge
and they sing and they sing songs
that I gotta be
a little bit problematic
just a little bit
but you know what
they just they really get you
Kevin I'll be honest
it's nice to see you smile
you started talking about
those three guys that come and sing
at your bridge and
you started leaning against your little stick
and kind of looking off wistfully.
That was really nice.
I don't have too many good times.
I have mostly tough times.
And so it's just when I think about the good ones.
I hate to hear that.
You hate to hear the thing.
Hey, guys, can I talk to you really quick over here?
Just Adel and JBC just one sec?
Yeah, we do a thing where we kind of split off
and talk about the person that we're interacting with.
I think it's good.
Not anything about you, Kevin.
It could be good about you.
Okay, well, I really hope so.
And we'll bang my stick against the bridge.
That's good.
That's great.
Bang away, Kevin. Bang away.
Hey, guys.
Kevin is obviously really adorable and has a really sad backstory.
And I'm, look at me, both of you, look at me.
We're not going to get attached to Kevin and we're not going to try to fix this whole deal, okay?
It's going to be really tempting.
He just said he never has really good times.
It's going to be tempting to sort of fix it.
Yeah.
It does feel, I mean, from what I'm saying don't get involved in Kevin's whole thing.
I'm saying don't get involved in Kevin's whole thing.
From what I've read about, like, olden days and times, people didn't live past like 30, I guess.
Mm-hmm.
So I feel like Kevin's probably, he's probably like 20-something.
We should probably show him a good time.
No, see, Adel, this is what I meant about not getting involved in Kevin's whole thing.
Like, look, look at him.
He's just looking at nothing hitting a stick against his bridge.
Oh, pretty sure him we'll get to go home soon.
It is my birthday after all.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
no see this is what I mean though because we get attached and then we get it we have to stay here
longer and then I smell worse and worse imagine spending your whole life trying to learn how to master
bridges and the minute you master a bridge you die on your birthday probably probably and we don't
know but we do assume all right guys well whatever but you guys I'll give you 10 more minutes
and then we're out of here okay yes yes that's hey Aaron that's all we ask if we can't fix
whatever Kevin's whole deal is
and 10 minutes we don't deserve
to call ourselves riddle podcasters.
Right.
Kevin.
Buddy.
It looks like you've got tiny legs
and a big torso.
Yep.
What if we inverted that?
Makeover.
Oh, well, no.
Listen,
I'm just here to gently stop you
from crossing the bridge
and you have to answer a riddle.
Oh.
Before you cross the bridge
And don't make this about me
Don't make it about me
And my physique
We don't really do riddles
Yeah, it's not really our whole thing
What if I present it to you right now
Just to see how you feel about it
The riddle is
Can you explain to me
What went wrong in my marriage?
Oh
Because I can't figure it out
It's a stumper.
You guys still want to do this?
You still want to do this.
You know, Aaron, it would actually go faster if you would be more helpful, okay?
I've never been married, asshole, so I don't know how to fix a marriage.
Wait, didn't you kiss a car and turn into a car?
Okay, I can't tell you anything anymore, I guess.
Secrets are just to open, it's open season on secrets, I guess.
Kevin, give us the elevator pitch.
Give us the broad strokes of what, I mean, what was going on.
in the marriage.
Well,
you know what?
You got your finger on it right now.
I didn't know how to touch her.
We're talking about broad strokes.
I was really,
really, really,
like,
grabby.
Oh, Kevin.
Oh, Kevin.
And then sometimes I'd just gently
from across the room
but I'll poke her with more stick.
And be like,
I've with the bridge stick
and I'd say,
you up for it.
Oh, no.
Oh, Kevin.
Kevin.
One, two, three, four.
