Yeah, so I did just watch you guys jam out
Starting point is 00:02:55 for a couple minutes there. So that was a long one. I don't know if that was how long they normally are, but it felt long to me. But I was fine. I was hanging out out enjoying a biscuit or two oh i'm so glad you know um hi alfred hold on while i'm i can vamp a little bit um yeah vamp vamp um today i had to unlock a padlock uh that had frozen in the chicago winter so i had to use a lighter to try and thaw the name thaw the padlock well you'll never know how that story
Starting point is 00:03:27 ends who was that from Lauren M Lauren uh said that they made the 100th episode theme song and the last one poked a lot of fun at Jeff's this time decided to poke fun at Riley sad to see Jeff leave the pod but I'm looking forward to see what Alf has to bring however if you're to use this song feel like it'd only be appropriate to play on an episode with Jeff as the guest host well oh damn we actually are here right now. If you're listening, we have just experienced the surprise 24-hour live stream hosted by Jeffrey James that Jeff didn't know about. I didn't know about it either. I thought we were just recording a normal episode.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And then all of a sudden, this guy is here. So what were you saying? What's new with you? You broke into a building? Yeah, I was breaking and entering. And the padlock was frozen and so I had to take a cigarette lighter and the wind was whipping through my hair and
Starting point is 00:04:09 it was quite an ordeal. But I got one of them open. Couldn't get through that second one though, could I? So what'd you do? Okay. Sorry, man, if you wouldn't mind. Sorry. Yeah, just push the mic a little bit. It's okay, you don't have to cut it out.
Starting point is 00:04:25 No, sorry, I lost my train of thought a little bit. It's okay. You don't have to cut it out. No, I'm sorry. I lost my train of thought a little bit. I guess I was trying to... Sorry? I heard like a really loud exhale. I don't know. Did you hear that? Like a big sigh from...
Starting point is 00:04:37 You know what? I think it was actually our guest on today's episode. Oh, our guest. Do you want to bring him... Jeffrey James is here in the studio. Oh, my God. Hey, Jeff.

But it's interesting. Do you feel any kind of level of discomfort knowing that the roles have been reversed um you know and then when i was initially just a guest on review review you weren't hospitable i'll say that um is that true
Starting point is 00:05:12 i feel like i've made you feel more than well no he jeff was jeff was good it was more just like the how many people have you fucked yeah no he asked me within 30 seconds to tell the story of how I lost my virginity. I meant to say religion, but yeah. And I was saying, same difference, man. Jeff, what's new with you? Break in anywhere today? I really wonder if anyone is going to miss this whole thing.

Starting point is 00:21:03 Why are you so upset? I guess I feel like you're minimizing my sexual awakening. Is this right now what it is? I mean, if the shoe fits, love. She hasn't said anything to you about your sexuality. I was talking to her a little bit concerned because you were kind of flirting with me. The sprites are all just like leaving the room, going over the floor.

Starting point is 00:21:25 all these other kids which by the way i think they seem to be dust mites uh are kind of going everywhere is this part of the puzzle i don't know honey i don't think it should be this isn't this doesn't feel like the you know runaway train whatever we're doing i'm getting a headache oh honey maybe we should just do you want to just go home or do you want to do the room? No, I want to stay and do the room I want to stay and do the room Okay, well it looks like all your friends did just kind of Leave the building from under the door But could he do the room alone?
Starting point is 00:21:54 Or could you do it with him? Would that be okay? They weren't my real friends anyway No, if they would leave you like that, they are not your real friends Fair weather friends, that's what I call them Fair weather friends You learned's what I call them. Fair weather friends. You learned that one from Peppa. Would you mind doing the room with him?
Starting point is 00:22:10 I can't not do that. I am on the clock. But, oh, God. Yeah, fine, fine. I can do it for... Oh, yay! Thank you so much. Oh, he's going to be so thrilled.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Look at him. Look at him. He's running around. This is the best double digit day I've ever had. Can you also be in there with me, though? I don't understand what you need to be doing in the lobby Alright Alfred, let's go into the room Alright honey, I'll be out here if you need anything
Starting point is 00:22:32 Okay, I'll be in the lobby It's just hard because I already know how to I won't need anything I already know how to do this I already know how to escape this room Well then let me lead Alright Yes, let him lead
Starting point is 00:22:41 Really quick, really quick Make sure he feels like he's really getting the experience of doing it for himself. Whoa, you just rolled your eyes. Sorry. Your seven-year-old's hitting on me. He has dust mites for a friend. Just please give him a good birthday.
Starting point is 00:22:57 I'm trying really hard. It's just, yeah, he's not normal. Please just go into the room and give him a great experience for his birthday. All right. Thank you. Come on, Alfred. This place charges by the hour.
Starting point is 00:23:10 We've got to get going. I'm the one charging you. Right. So I see a window. And out the window, there's a train track. And there's a body on the train tracks and if we switch this lever the train gets diverted and it hits the one body but it doesn't hit the 10 bodies does that make sense what i'm describing the trolley problem yes right the trolley problem ah kind of do you know
Starting point is 00:23:41 what that is or are you just repeating what i said because if you know what that is? Or are you just repeating what I said? Because if you know what that is, you're pretty smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you know what it is. Do you know what that is or are you just saying yeah, yeah, yeah? Yeah, I know what it is now. So, I think we flip the lever and then we see what happens. Okay, well, just so you know, if you flip the lever now, it will kill 10 people.
Starting point is 00:24:07 I mean, c'est la vie, non? I guess it would be c'est la vie, mort. Oh. Enchanté. Parlez-vous français, Alfred? How do you know that I speak French? Oh. Hey, you.

Yeah, I know Middleburg Heights. trapped escape room middleburg heights why yeah i know do you know weird yes weird very weird poll right i picked somewhere near where you're from okay this is from christine s Christine S. Christine Sistine.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Christine Sistine Chapel. Hyphenated? No. Also, before I read this review, I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret. Riley, Jeff, every time in that last scene that you pitched your voice high.
Starting point is 00:30:40 Couldn't hear it. Completely cut out. So I was, I was flying blind. So a half of the chunks of that scene yeah that's perfect especially the latter half um i love it so yeah so let's just keep that in mind you know when we pick character voices that's mainly a note for jeff because i know he needs to work on this stuff before tomorrow and i never never do. I never pitch my voice high for voices. No, I've never known you to do that.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I never do that. Well, and I've never done a British accent and just hoped that does all of the work for me of needing to do anything to establish a character or anything. Read your review from Christine Sistine Chapel. This is from Christine Sistine Chapel. One star. We were here from Arizona for our mother's 90th birthday,
Starting point is 00:31:29 and I thought it would be a fun night for our family, some of which had never been to an escape room before. I mean, this was my seventh one. We were met by an employee with some kind of dragon, iguana on her shoulder and she spoke in a weird voice for the iguana which if i'm honest threw me to say the least she began reading the most confusing directions i had ever heard from a book when we we entered the room, we were met with one malfunction after another and the girl kept coming in to try and help
Starting point is 00:32:10 and then would just say, let me give you a clue because I can't fix this. After the third one, she said we should try a different room. That room was worse. At one point, she said we needed to take something apart to fix it and would rather just give us the clues.
Starting point is 00:32:25 At that point, we were over it. We had been in two rooms over an hour and a half and nothing worked. All right. Welcome to the crazy carnival room. I am Leanne and I'm here to help you guys through the room. And don't mind me. I brought my iguana to work because my boyfriend couldn't watch it today because he's doing a boys' night, and he couldn't bring Charlie. So, hello, I'm Charlie.
Starting point is 00:32:56 Oh, sorry. There he goes again. Oh, can I help you with the room today? He's so funny. Why is that funny? Hmm? You said, hi, I'm Charlie.lie i'm gonna help you with the room today yeah it's not a joke that sounded pretty normal iguana charlie what sounded normal no i mean the
Starting point is 00:33:12 voice you were doing was kind of intense but like the content was just like something that a person would like there wasn't much about that oh it's funny because it's just like he's just a little he's just a little guy on my shoulder and and he just likes to have a chat sometimes. I'm going to help you guys through the room. That's what you would say right now. It's definitely surprising. I don't know if it's funny, but it surprises me when you do it. That's something you would say as the guy.
Starting point is 00:33:35 If your iguana wasn't here, you'd probably just say that in a normal voice, and it wouldn't be funny. I don't know. I guess you'll, hey, you don't know what I'd say or wouldn't say. That's so what he would say. You sound like Donald Duck's nephews. I'll be honest, hey, you don't know what I'd say I wouldn't say. That's so what he would say. You sound like Donald Duck's. I'll be honest, man. I love Charlie.
Starting point is 00:33:48 I do wish his voice was deeper, though. Should we? Yeah, if you guys just want to sign these forms really quick, so that it's like, you know, if you're injured, you're not going to sue the company. If Charlie gives you a little bite, we won't be in the room with you. Then you're not going to sue the company. Sorry, if Charlie gives us a bite bite, we won't be in the room with you. Then you're not going to see the company. Sorry, if Charlie gives us a bite?
Starting point is 00:34:07 I'd never do that. Hey, what if he was like, I'd never do that. As you do at that time, he kind of hisses and he has really sharp teeth. He looks like he might bite. No, he wouldn't. He's a little sweetie. He's a little sweetie. But again, let's start the room.
Starting point is 00:34:20 I'm confused. Why would he bite us? He's going to be in the room with us? No, I said he's not. See, look at it. Look, I'm like moving his little arms. Oh, good. I wish I could be in the room.
Starting point is 00:34:32 He clearly doesn't like that you're moving his arms and he's starting to get angry. Stop. He doesn't like that. He does not like that. Oh, come on, guys. I think I know my guy. No. I think I know my little guy.
Starting point is 00:34:43 I'm serious. You're hurting him. Oh, like you know Iguanas? I know when guy. No, I'm serious. You're hurting him. Oh, like you know Iguanas? I know when an animal's in pain. Yeah, his spine is sticking up. I'm feeling great. I'm fit as a fiddle. I've never been better.
Starting point is 00:34:58 That's what he's saying. That's what he's saying. That thing looks sick, dude. He looks sick? Yeah, like ill Dude And not in a skater sense Like in like a
Starting point is 00:35:09 You come in here I'm trying to give you guys a good experience This is my pet And you're acting like you know everything about iguanas I don't want to get into this I just think you have to recognize It's different than bringing like a dog to work Right

Starting point is 00:35:26 Can you push it down? Because you almost made him fall off your back. He's fine. He's not. He's slipping. This is the issue. Everyone's like, oh, if you had a dog, it'd be so easy. Because you could sleep on the thing.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Or you walk him with the thing, take him out. My iguana does the same shit. He's sleeping on my arm. I'm moving around. He's like holding on for dear life. He's holding on for dear life. He's wide awake. Look at him.
Starting point is 00:35:48 He's like this. He's like, I'm doing great.

From the reptile rescue What are you talking about from where? Where do you get a dog?

Starting point is 00:37:30 sometimes when we roughhouse, it gets a little too much, but it's okay because I still love you, and so I know we're just having a good time, and I want these guys to know that you treat me very well. No, I hear what he's actually saying. He's going, you don't know what love is you're a beast he literally would never say that he just did so i don't know what the fuck you're talking about 360 cash you look like you need the money just take the fucking money give us the
Starting point is 00:38:00 dragon what does that mean you look like you need the money he didn't mean it like that but what did you know well what did you what did you mean by didn't mean it like that. What did you mean by that? He didn't mean it like that, but you do look like you need the money. What the fuck does that mean? You just don't have a lot of nice clothes on. You look... I'm in my uniform for work. Obviously, these aren't nice.
Starting point is 00:38:16 It looks unwashed. You think I wear a carnival barker outfit from 1947 as like every day because I have an iguana? Frankly, dude, yes. Yeah, a little bit, yes. i have an iguana frankly dude yes yeah a little bit yes you took an iguana to work that feels like exactly the kind of person who would wear a carnival barker outfit to work no you know what charlie's saying right he's saying he's like you guys are passing a lot of snap judgments on our land right now and i don't i don't like what i'm hearing oh that's funny you're really angry no i hear him he's going take the money take the fucking money that's not he would never cuss one thing about charlie why wouldn't he say right now he would never draw the line he would never

He's saying, oh, I'm so sorry. He's not saying anything. He's limping and he's hurt because of you. Yeah. $360 cash. And I'll Venmo you a little bit more. I can't just like, well, how much more? So it is about the cash.
Starting point is 00:39:16 No, it's not about the cash, but how much are you willing to Venmo? Five? Yeah, I would add another ten or five. $500 or like $500? $100. $500 another ten or five. Five dollars or like five hundred dollars? Five hundred dollars. Five hundred dollars? I meant dollars. So like $860 total.
Starting point is 00:39:31 No, no, not adding them. No, no. Just $500. He said $360 and then he said, and I'll throw you some more. Yeah, $140 more for total. Charlie's like, if you don't give her $860 for me, then what is this?
Starting point is 00:39:44 What's the point? That's interesting. That is a dewy duck voice. Because what I hear him say is Charlie's like, if you don't give her $860 for me, then what is this? What's the point? Oh, that's interesting. That is a dewy duck voice. Because what I hear him say is he's going, you know you need any money you can get. You're doing Yoda. No, he goes, money you need. Very badly you do. That's what Charlie's saying.
Starting point is 00:39:59 That's probably what he's saying. Like, I don't know for sure. And I could throw him what I think Charlie sounds like into the ring, but I do think it's Yoda for sure. Or whatever you just did. That't yoda that was charlie charlie that's what i meant to say sorry it's just charlie kind of looks like yoda yoda celebrity look like um well listen i mean it's like obviously this sucks and i'm not happy you're smiling i'm smiling because i'm uncomfortable because i'm being
