Thank you so much for coming to the hey, Riddle. Riddle Museum. Are you a school group? Are you on vacation? What brought you in here today?

Adol Refai
Ashante.

Adol Refai
Are you the docent?
Aaron Keefe
What is a docent?
Adol Refai
It's not quite a dog. It's not quite Al Pacino.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, it's a dachshund. Like a dog with little legs.
JPC
Well, let him guess. Even though he's the one that mentioned it. Let him guess.
Adol Refai
Oh, it's sort of a guide for the museum. Like a person who kind of shows you around. But I didn't want to docent explain to the docent. If you're the docent.
Aaron Keefe
I am the docent. Then I'm about to give a tour. Then I must be a docent.
JPC

Adol Refai
Captain Docent.
Aaron Keefe

Aaron Keefe
Oh, I'm sorry. Did you go on the I Don't want to learn anything tour?

JPC
Oh, Is that an option?
Adol Refai
Sorry.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, we get a lot of that around here at hey, Rhythm Rebel.
JPC
Yeah, I feel like I'll always take that option if it's available.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, okay. That's fine.
JPC
It's like a kosher meal. I don't need it, but I want it.
Adol Refai
Does Christina Aguilera say you're kissing your tits and blowing kisses my way? Are those the lyrics that can't be right.
Aaron Keefe
We here at Haverillore.
JPC
Can you look it up in your pocket or do you have, like a guidebook or something for the king? You could look that up.
Aaron Keefe
We actually are banned from Googling right now here at the museum. Well, I was going to start with the beginning, the sort of framed email. First docent, a female docent, to start at the very beginning. A very good place to start.
Adol Refai
I've literally turned around this whole not.
Aaron Keefe
Knowing what a docent is, you know, okay, I'm just gonna shut this whole museum down. Takes down the email of our first. Scheduling of the first episode. Takes Janet out of her box, lets her free. All right, you know, it's fine.
JPC
Captivity.
Adol Refai
I want to pull the cord on the Janet.
Aaron Keefe
It's fine. Let's just do an episode of hey, Riddle, Riddle. Let's not dwell on the past of this show and how it started in 2018 when I was 25 years old and I had special episode.
JPC
What do we.
Aaron Keefe
Why would it never is a special episode?
JPC
Well, you're just like. You're reminiscing about the past. I'm not.
Aaron Keefe
I'm saying let's throw the whole museum away.
JPC
But you wanted to.
Aaron Keefe
I mean, I just thought it would be interesting to talk about how this show started when I was a young gun, sort of with my whole life ahead of me. I guess that's not interesting to talk about how I was young once, with my whole life ahead of me.
Adol Refai
You sort of looked wistfully up and to the left. I thought you were gonna take us down memory lane, but then you kind of darted your eyes right back to us, and we didn't know what to say.
JPC
Aaron, if you add 50 years to your age, you are going to be this classic Hollywood archetype. You're going to be wearing, like, ball gowns, talking about how, oh, when I was in my prime, before my riddle podcast days.
Adol Refai
Oh, Aaron, you are good.
JPC
You boys. I bet you have to get to your deployment soon.
Adol Refai
You are going to be. Mark my words, you are going to be the podcast world's Elizabeth Taylor. Glamorous. Glamorous as all get out. Six to seven ex husbands.
Aaron Keefe
Eight. Maybe eight.
Adol Refai
Maybe eight.
Aaron Keefe
Six to seven. I want dream bigger. Do I want to be the podcast world's Elizabeth Taylor?
JPC
Aaron, she really lost love. Never find love.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, my God.
JPC
Because that's what you said you wanted.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Well, so what's interesting. Let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see, let's see, let's See, would I want that? Do I want people sort of buying my necklaces at auction? Sort of my cheap necklaces, sort of.
JPC
Buying my necklaces at auction?
Aaron Keefe
Do I want to marry Richard Burton, divorce him and then marry him again? Of course. Do I want to win an Oscar for who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Obviously. Do I want to win?
Adol Refai
I'm taking this very literally.
Aaron Keefe
A bunch of different direct, one to one. Yeah, obviously. All right, I'll take it. I'll be the Elizabeth Taylor of the podcast world. Thank you, Adol. I'll actually, it sounds like you'll just.
JPC
Be Elizabeth Taylor, but you'll also do a podcast.
Aaron Keefe
And then what does.
JPC
Then.
Aaron Keefe
What else does it mean then?
JPC
I don't know. It's your fantasy.
Adol Refai
During America's worst disaster, you, Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando will get in a car and drive to Syracuse or whatever they did.
Aaron Keefe
I don't know what that is. What's a dust bowl?
JPC
Dust bowl. Was that during the dust bowl.
Adol Refai
There was an event in 2001. I don't need to get into it. But that day, apparently Michael Jackson, Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando all panicked and kind of thought that the us was gonna. That there was more to it, and they all got in a car and tried to drive to the countryside or something.
Aaron Keefe
Somewhere right now, a 24 year old is writing that play. If you listen, you clear your mind and you listen. You can hear a 24 year old at a coffee shop right now writing that play.
JPC
If you close your eyes and just listen ever so slightly, you can hear the reviews being typed out in the New York Times when that play opens. Of the most unwatchable play ever to grace the boards.
Adol Refai
Rehearsals is just one of the three being like, should I do the impression or should I. Can I just talk normal?
Aaron Keefe
So I'm going. So, guys, how are you? Because last we checked in, we were all together in person.
JPC
Well, actually, I don't necessarily know that we spent any time together in person the last time we checked in.
Aaron Keefe
Well, we saw each other in person. We did a show together.
JPC
We did see each other and we did do a show together. And I think that that was the extent of it. It turns out that due to everyone's different sleep schedules and Erin's different whatever she's got going on schedule. All I know is that I was in San Francisco for like two days and I saw you guys for an hour when we did our show.
Aaron Keefe
Well, that's not necessarily true because way more time. We saw a show today.
JPC
Your friend Michael and Adel's wife. I spent a ton of time with those two people. I don't know. I don't know that I saw the two of you at all.
Aaron Keefe
Well, we sent our representatives to hang out with you.
Adol Refai
Gemma.
Aaron Keefe
Jpc. We saw a show together.
JPC
Oh, that's right. We did see a show together.
Aaron Keefe
And we ordered her.
JPC
Aaron was on her phone the whole time.
Aaron Keefe
No, I wasn't.
Adol Refai
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
You were on your phone ordering Indian food. Whoa.
Adol Refai
Double, double cross. Double Double cross.
JPC
You. I order it for you, Mom.
Aaron Keefe
And you.
JPC
And twins.
Aaron Keefe
And twins. Whatever. So I guess I did.
JPC
I did. To blow up Aaron's spot. I did commiserate with her friend Michael because we were both talking and Aaron was on her phone doing something, and we were both like, isn't it strange to see Erin on her phone so much, yet you can't get her to text you back?
Aaron Keefe
And then I showed you how many.
JPC
Texts that I have, and it ruined my night. That was actually the worst part.
Aaron Keefe
I was looking up something for us, by the way. When I was on my phone, I was looking up something for the group and then they were coming after me.
JPC
Sure.
Aaron Keefe
But here's. This is my new process, and it's going actually so well.
JPC
I cannot wait to hear about the new process.
Aaron Keefe
I will not respond because it was driving me fucking insane to be so constantly available, because I have.
JPC
And when was this? At what point in your life were you constantly available? I just wish I would have known you at that time so I could take. I could have taken advantage.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, so.
JPC
Okay. So there was a time in your life when you were super available?
Aaron Keefe
No. Well, I felt the pressure to be super available.
JPC
You felt the pressure? Oh, it's so much different to feel the pressure.
Aaron Keefe
I will respond to texts every two or three days because every single person in my life, I attract a certain type of person that loves to text. Okay. Which is great. I don't love that. It makes me feel overwhelmed. I feel it makes me. Causes me a ton of anxiety. So I will. Every two days, I will sit down with a tea and I will go through all my texts and I will respond to all of them. But I just think it's unreasonable.
JPC
Texting, Tea, Text and tea.
Adol Refai
T Mobile.
JPC
Text and tea.
Aaron Keefe
Yes. I have, like, these group chats, like gpc. One of those things was a group chat. Like, a hundred of those text messages were group chat just from like 36 hours. Like, that is the level of texting. And so I'm like, I don't. I cannot be constantly.
JPC
Why don't we do this? This is fun. Let's get a shared Google calendar.
Aaron Keefe
We have that.
JPC
Well, no, we don't, but I love that for you.
Aaron Keefe
No, we.
JPC
Yes, I invite you to some Google events. That's not the same thing, but. So let's get a shared Google calendar.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
You tell me when your text and tea times are. I get them on the block and I know great. If I need Aaron, boom. I can hit her during text and tea and I'm probably gonna get something back.
Aaron Keefe
I love that you made a fun name for it.
JPC
Adol made it.
Adol Refai
Texting T. No, it's fine.
Aaron Keefe
Texting Tea.
Adol Refai
It's fine.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, Adol. I didn't even hear you make it. Adel.
Adol Refai
That's okay.
Aaron Keefe
You're a vip. Call me anytime, baby.
Adol Refai
Oh, all right.
JPC
What the fuck?
Aaron Keefe
Right to the front of the line.
Adol Refai
Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me, folks. I actually know. I know Aaron. Sorry, excuse me.
JPC
I know Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
Everybody's trying to get to the front of the line. Everybody knows Aaron. If you have my number, you know me.
Adol Refai
Ha. This line is just 40 people standing shoulder to shoulder. It's not. We're sort of abreast versus deep. This sucks.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
People don't know how to queue. That's a big problem. People just don't know how to queue anymore.
Aaron Keefe
Jpc, I care about you a lot and you matter to me.
JPC
I appreciate that.
Aaron Keefe
And I'm not so above taking a note. I want to do better for you every day.
JPC
Aaron, you matter to me as well. I've got a couple of emails that you haven't responded to yet.
Aaron Keefe
I know, and I will.
JPC
And I'd love to get you. And I'd love to text and T. Baby, Whatever text and T is coming up, I'd love.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, it's happening today and I'll show you. These are the things that I have to get done today.
JPC
You have to.
Aaron Keefe
It's just like you have to.
JPC
What can we get done today? That's what I'm all about.
Aaron Keefe
Respond to JPC is right there.
JPC
That's in the middle. That's not bad.
Adol Refai
Rsvpjpc. Rsvpc.
JPC
I probably didn't make it above brushed teeth, but I'm definitely close eyes. Go to drift off to dreamland. I love the middle.
Aaron Keefe
The other stuff is like really crazy, urgent stuff. So you're like on the stuff that is like very, very important. You're top of the list.
Adol Refai
Can we hear one of the urgent ones?
Aaron Keefe
Skin stuff or kill Adel with my hands is number one.
Adol Refai
Come On. It's gonna be a long process.
JPC
Yeah. This guy. This guy loves life. He's got a real joie de vivre.
Adol Refai
I got a real thick neck. You're not gonna be able to choke me out.
Aaron Keefe
Who said I was gonna use your neck? I'm gonna punch you in the stomach.
Adol Refai
Houdini style.
Aaron Keefe
Houdini style.
JPC
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
Well, guys, unfortunately. And you're not going to believe this, this is a riddle podcast.
JPC
Sure, I believe that.
Aaron Keefe
I think we should do some riddles, puzzles, lateral thinking problems. What do you think?
JPC
I do to think that as well.
Adol Refai
I'd sign off on that.
Aaron Keefe
Fantastic. Is everyone mad at me? Doesn't matter.
JPC
Is that the first riddle?
Aaron Keefe
Doesn't matter. Actually, it's fine. Okay. These first riddles are from Lizzy T. And they. Lizzy has a very cool job. I spend a lot of time listening to you while I do my work as a scenic artist, AKA a person who paints sets for theater, which is so cool. That's amazing. Lizzie was doing the New York Times crossword the other day, and they had a few clues that trapped my brain into thinking about these little puzzles. They're kind of like if Hank Pinks were word avalanches. Essentially, it's a series of usually three words that are spelled the same, but one vowel changes each time. There are some that I've come up with as well, of greatly varying quality. Feel free to pick and choose.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
Thanks, Lizzy.
Adol Refai
Thank you, Lizzy. Aaron, can I ask you something?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, sure, anything.
Adol Refai
I've had a really weird.
Aaron Keefe
You're a vip.
Adol Refai
Oh, very good. Excuse me. Sorry. Let me just step in front of jpc. I've had a dream. Maybe for peeing. Oh, you're pissing on jokes on, you asshole. Pissing on the back of my thighs. Whatever that area is called.
Aaron Keefe
You guys do this.
Adol Refai
Get a room, I guess. I've had a dream for a few years, Aaron. And I'm embarrassed to say it, but I feel like this is a safe space. And I feel like if anyone will get me and this idea, it's you.
Aaron Keefe
You and me. Adel, we're locked in.
Adol Refai
Oh, good, good.
Aaron Keefe
You and me, Kid Goose and Maverick.
Adol Refai
Baby, baby, one of us is not long for this world. I have a. I have this idea. I don't want to say I have a dream. I have this idea where I get a. A theater designer, a set designer to go into my bedroom, okay. And make it like you put black boxes down. It's hard. It's black wood and there's like pieces of tape around the bedroom, There's a proscenium painted. There's like, fake windows. Like, make your bedroom like the set of a play.
Aaron Keefe
And how. How quickly are you trying to get divorced?
Adol Refai
Well, the bed is four to six months.
Aaron Keefe
I think you have a big enough house that you could have. It doesn't even have to be your bedroom. Metal.
Adol Refai
Okay. All right.
JPC
Now, this may be a silly question. Why do you want this cjpc?
Aaron Keefe
You're not locked in. You're not Goose and Maverick with us. You don't get it.
JPC
I'm Iceman. I'm still in the movie. I just maybe am kind of an antagonist, I guess.
Adol Refai
Gun to my head. Something has to change.
JPC
Something has to change for sure.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adol Refai
Something has to change versus it being internal. I prefer it to be something I can just pay that someone else does.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. I'm not trying to talk you out of this, but in my home growing up in the basement, there is this storage thing that was essentially a stage.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
And we used to do a ton of plays on it. And literally there was, like, lights facing it, and we'd put up curtains, and my sister would direct me a little plays and we would put on plays and we'd do SNL bits and we'd do Monty Python bits. And I've ended. Now I'm on a riddle podcast and I have to sit down every three days in response to texts because of my mental health. Do you want potential kids, cats, whoever's in your home ending up like me? If you have a stage in your house, you're gonna end up with a kid with a personality like Aaron Keefe.
Adol Refai
Cats, yes. Kids, no. And I don't want that. I hope that doesn't insult you, Aaron. I wouldn't wish your life on two of my cats.
Aaron Keefe
Here's the thing, my life is amazing. It's just that JPC doesn't like any choice that I've ever made. Not even one time.
JPC
I disagree that your life is amazing.
Aaron Keefe
I think it's incredible.
JPC
From what I can observe.
Aaron Keefe
Do I have. Am I accident prone? Sure. Am I pissing you off? Constantly, obviously.
Adol Refai
Did you just join the Pixar family?
Aaron Keefe
Yes. And I can talk about it. Like, I can say anything about it now. Kind of very freeing. For four years, I've been terrified.
JPC
Aaron, your life is amazing. Correct. That's what you're saying. Your life is amazing.
Aaron Keefe
My life is amazing.
JPC
Text from you not 30 minutes ago when you were 20 minutes late to this episode.
Aaron Keefe
What? Because my Internet goes out?
JPC
Is it possible to Trade somebody to be old man puzzles. I can do it if I have to, but I feel like I'm a puddle now. I don't know too much about amazing lives, but there's only one person who has an amazing life who could turn into a puddle, and that's Alex goddamn Mack.
Adol Refai
Alex Mack.
Aaron Keefe
And my life is incredible.
JPC
I love you, but Alex Mac, you are not.
Aaron Keefe
I. Okay. I have an awesome dog, right? Incredible. My family, amazing friends.
JPC
Text from Aaron Keith 40 minutes ago. I'm losing my mind. I feel like I'm going insane, you guys. Two text review from today.
Aaron Keefe
I. This is what's been so frustrating. My Internet goes out maybe three times a day in a with absolutely no warning. And it is so crazy because yesterday I had a really important meeting that I was so scared for and was so paranoid that the Internet was going to go out. And lo and behold, right in the middle of it, it went out. And then I'm like, on the verge of tears when I get back to the meeting eventually, it's like such a nightmare. I've had to download the TV shows I want to watch onto my iPad because I'll be in the middle of watching a fucking movie and the Internet goes out. It is no way to live. It is no way to live if.
JPC
You'Re Alex Mac's dermatologist. Do you think that, you know, like, can you tell that she can turn into a puddle?
Aaron Keefe
Here's the other thing. My life is actually perfect. It's just this little shit, okay? Everything else is great. Beautiful dog, beautiful family, perfect friends. My life is. I get to do comedy all the time. I'm seeing someone amazing. He's so funny and he's so nice. Everything's fine. Let's do these riddles from Lizzie.
Adol Refai
Yay. So no on the theater room.
Aaron Keefe
What do you mean, Adol. What do you mean? What do you mean? What do you mean, no? What do you mean, no on the.
JPC
Theater room, I think do it.
Aaron Keefe
What do you mean, no? What do you mean, no?
Adol Refai
Well, the first thing you said was, how much do you want to divorce? Or whatever.
Aaron Keefe
What do you mean, no? You guys, I'm actually so fine. And aren't you proud of me for coming? I splash cold water on my face. I was crying the second my Internet cut out.
JPC
Aren't you proud of me for coming, Aaron? Beyond that for me, Casey, I don't need. I'm not doing anything with it. But do clip that for me, please.
Adol Refai
Aaron, be honest at first. Did you accidentally splash your face with, like, Windex or something.
Aaron Keefe
Ha ha, ha, ha ha. Aaron's a mess. You know what?
JPC
Because your face is sparkling adult Adolf. You'd think that, but that's not actually the way that Windex works. She splashed Windex on her mirror and then smashed her face into the mirror.
Adol Refai
Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, the guy that.
Aaron Keefe
I'm going, I'm such a mess. Can you believe how much of it? And he goes, you really seem to have a lot together. And then I go, you know who would laugh out loud of that? Adeline. Jpc. Can I tell you what, you guys?
JPC
I would never laugh at a person who had a mental deficiency. Aaron. I would never do that.
Adol Refai
Excuse me, VIP Excuse me, VIP Aaron, do you mind if, for the rest of. Until. Whenever you're comfortable, can we just call him Zork?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, yeah, Zork, the guy.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, yeah, sure.
Adol Refai
Instead of just saying, just say Zork.
JPC
Zork.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Okay. Thank you.
Aaron Keefe
This is. I was like, I actually think he'll love that.
JPC
Is that actually going to get confusing? Because Adel and I just agreed this week, and we're going to start calling our wives Zork.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, it's fine.
Adol Refai
Well, hold on. Things can be zork, and there is a zork. So in the new language we're creating, yeah, you can be zork, but you can also be a zork.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, we can't. We're. We're getting.
JPC
Aaron, you're giving Zork.
Aaron Keefe
All right, we're having.
Adol Refai
And this is getting. You're making this confusing.
Aaron Keefe
You know, if anyone's a youngest sibling, you'll understand this. Every time I go home to Massachusetts, I still feel like my sisters think I am 11, right? Like they. I'm frozen in time for them, and they'll never take me seriously. And the second I get home, I'm like, take me seriously and laugh at my jokes. Like, I regress immediately because I have been such a mess right in my whole life in front of you guys. I feel sort of. And I know today I was also a mess, but I feel frozen in time with you guys a little bit.
JPC
Sure.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
You need to see to the outside world.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
My. I work very, very hard. My career. On my career, I. I try to take care of other people. I pay rent alone in Los Angeles, and I have a dog alone. Right.
JPC
I'm getting alone pretty hard.
Aaron Keefe
I'm fine.
Adol Refai
What about Zork?
Aaron Keefe
Zork is great.
Adol Refai
If Zork's great, he probably feels pretty Zork.
JPC
Aaron, what did I tell you this morning. I told you I could fix your entire life in two days.
Aaron Keefe
I know. And I said go for it.
JPC
And I'm ready. I'm ready.
Aaron Keefe
I actually. Yeah, go ahead.
Adol Refai
Oh, please.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, no, I actually. I'm open to that. Jpc.
JPC
I'm going to talk to Zork. I'm going to get Zork to put a wedding ring on that finger. First off. Ooh. I'm going to get Zork to lock it down. Do the right thing, Zork.
Aaron Keefe
I'm begging you to not do this.
JPC
I'm begging you to do the right thing.
Aaron Keefe
But see each other three months.
Adol Refai
But be ethical and get a cubic zirconia or whatever.
JPC
Zirconia.
Adol Refai
Whatever makes sense. Whatever makes sense.
JPC
Cubic zirconium. What kind of riddles.
Aaron Keefe
I know. And I'm trying. I'm trying.
Adol Refai
Oh, very quickly, Aaron. You said Massachusetts. Did you guys hear that Bill Burr and Billy Corrigan are brothers?
Aaron Keefe
Snide comment about collectible figurine.
Adol Refai
And Bill Burr is pissed. Sorry, Aaron. Go ahead.
Aaron Keefe
Snide comment about collectible figurine.
JPC
Toy, Snoy.
Adol Refai
Ooh, Poi polloi.
JPC
The vowel changes.
Aaron Keefe
The vowel changes.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Toy. Joy.
Aaron Keefe
But it's not necessarily. The words aren't necessarily in the order in which I'm giving the clues.
JPC
Got it.
Aaron Keefe
So, snide comment about a collectible figurine.
Adol Refai
Could this one be the example?
Aaron Keefe
Sure. And this one's kind of hard.
JPC
Snape. Snoop.
Aaron Keefe
But the collectible figurine is two words and the snide comment is one word.
Adol Refai
Action figure.
Aaron Keefe
Collectible figurine.
JPC
Then make this the example, because I don't know what the fuck we're talking about.
Adol Refai
Funko Pop.
Aaron Keefe
No. So the collectible figurine is the same word twice, but a different vowel in it.
Adol Refai
G.I. joJo. G.I. joe. Slow mo. G.I. slow mo.
Aaron Keefe
I'll make this the example.
Adol Refai
Aaron, I'm drowning.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Nick. Knack knock.
Adol Refai
Huh?
Aaron Keefe
Like collectible figurine, knick knack, and then snide comment, knock.
JPC
Okay, got it. Knick, knock, knock. Okay.
Adol Refai
Oh, boy.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Okay. Sorry. Let me put my seatbelt on.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. I'm sorry. You guys begged for riddles. You were begging for riddles a second ago.
JPC
Damn. Was I?
Aaron Keefe
I'm fine, by the way. Everybody.
Adol Refai
Aaron, honestly, did you hear that Billy Corgan and Bill Burr are brothers? Isn't that insane?
Aaron Keefe
I didn't know this. I. I thought we weren't gonna learn today.
JPC
This feels. This feels like a setup to a street joke. This feels like I'm gonna be like, how do they figure that out? Like, the punchline's gonna be, like, smashing Boston's.
Aaron Keefe
Or I would like to see a scene. JPC and adol, you are roommates. And adol, you're coming home from, like, a vacation. And jpc, you've accidentally ruined all of adol's very expensive collectible figurines, and you're trying to just sort of smooth things over.
Adol Refai
Zork, I'm home.
JPC
Hey, Mark.
Adol Refai
Hey.
JPC
Can I. Can I grab your bags? Can I take your bags?
Adol Refai
Oh, I will just float them up to the attic where I store my stuff. Oh, time to go play with my figures.
Aaron Keefe
Hmm.
JPC
Um, God, you've been gone for. You've been gone for, like.
Adol Refai
God is dead.
JPC
Huh?
Adol Refai
God is dead?
JPC
Yeah. You're God. Yeah. You've been gone for a week.
Adol Refai
Mm. I was in Las Vegas.
JPC
Yes, we. How'd you do?
Adol Refai
I was up and then down and then up and then down, and that was just in bed. Ha ha ha ha.
JPC
Oh. Sounds like you fucked. Well, speaking of up and down, I bet you probably didn't hear about the big earthquake we had.
Adol Refai
Oh, no. I try to keep my telecommunications to advise me for all natural disasters.
JPC
Telecommunications. Phone calls.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
Yeah, we just say phone calls. Anyway, yeah, there's a big earthquake. I haven't even. I honestly have not even been upstairs because you said, don't go in your room because that's where all of your stuff is. Oh, no.
Aaron Keefe
Oh.
JPC
But, yeah, a lot of the stuff has got pretty broken.
Adol Refai
Oh, my bird skeletons. Grabs onto the fire pole, flies upward. Oh, no.
JPC
Oh, no. I'll meet you up there. I can't really ruin all.
Adol Refai
It's all ruined.
JPC
Oh, no. Whoa. Look at. Oh, my God. The earthquake seemed to hit all your bird skeletons.
Adol Refai
Oh, and they're covered in fingerprints with peanut butter. Oh.
JPC
Oh, you know what? Yes, they are. Yes.
Adol Refai
Can I see your hands?
JPC
Well, no, you've been standing with your.
Adol Refai
Hands behind your back like a Southern lawyer. Please, just put your hands forward.
JPC
It's for law school. I have to do it this way. You know what it was is that the. The first place that the firefighters came after, you know, to investigate. They came from the peanut butter factory, which had also. The earthquake hit the peanut butter factory pretty hard. So the firefighters probably came in and probably tracked all this peanut butter. All of your bird skeletons.
Adol Refai
Why would they touch the peanut butter? Doesn't make sense.
JPC
There were people trapped in there.
Adol Refai
Can peanut butter catch on fire? Let's try it.
JPC
It was an earthquake. Well, hold on, let's not go Burning.
Adol Refai
Peanut butter Taking your skin, Taking your skin.
JPC
I like Zork. He's an alien.
Adol Refai
Yeah, Zork's kind of fun.
Aaron Keefe
Zork Singer Parton when she's aimlessly wasting.
Adol Refai
Time Dolly lolly gagging Dolly lolly gagging Dolly lolly folly.
Aaron Keefe
It all begins with D. Dolly.
JPC
It all begins with D. Every kiss begins Dolly dally dilly dilly dally Dolly.
Aaron Keefe
Dilly dally Dolly dilly dilly Feeling of guilt after cheating at table tennis.
Adol Refai
Shame game. Shame.
JPC
Table tennis is.
Adol Refai
Oh, ping pong. Ping.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Fun Ping pong dog works, too.
JPC
I think I do want to see a scene. Oh, fuck. You got there first.
Aaron Keefe
You guys are playing ping pong, but you want the other one to win.
JPC
Okay, Aaron, that's good because my scene was going to be you as a doctor telling Adol that he had ping pong dong.
Adol Refai
I want to see that one now. Let's see that scene.
Aaron Keefe
I would rather die.
Adol Refai
Doctor. Doctor. What's wrong with me?
Aaron Keefe
Promise not to laugh. Okay. Faith. Doctor said.
JPC
Promise.
Adol Refai
Doctor.
JPC
Evan. Doctor said. You are going to kill me.
Adol Refai
I love the news is about me, but I can't laugh.
JPC
All right, hold on. Aaron, I wanted to do your scene. What was yours was you guys are.
Aaron Keefe
Playing ping pong and you want the other one to win.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Oh, it's. That's your. It's my serve. I think.
JPC
Yeah, I think it's your serve.
Adol Refai
Yeah, it's my serve.
JPC
Yeah. And what's the rule if I keep losing my racket, eventually I just don't get a racket. Right. Eventually I just have to use hand if I keep throwing.
Adol Refai
Yeah, I think you just use hand.
JPC
I think I'm on hand now then, because. Yeah, I cannot keep. I cannot keep. Okay, so it's your serve.
Adol Refai
Okay. Yeah. And let me.
Aaron Keefe
Oh.
Adol Refai
Oh, nerds. I missed the table. That's the point for you. You're crushing it.
JPC
Nut just continues to be your serve. Yeah. Oh, eventually you'll have to, you know, or maybe just lose the serve. And it's my point. Anyway, we've been doing this for about 20 minutes and no one scored a point. We just keep trading the serve back and forth. Why don't we cut the serve part out? Okay.
Adol Refai
Yeah, yeah. So how do we. How do we start? Maybe like. Like jump ball like they do in the NBA. Like a jump ball.
JPC
Let's do jump ball.
Adol Refai
Okay, so I'm gonna throw. Throw the ball straight up in the air over the net.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Obviously we're both gonna have to lean in real hard and make sort of a jump up and forward.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
And then try and as we land, go backwards so we don't hit ourselves in the tummy with the table. Okay, here we go. So, yeah, it's like a 3, 2, 3, 2. Should I do like a 3, 2, 1 throw or three 2 or 3, 2 throw?
JPC
Three 2, 1, and then throw it up and then jump up. Yeah.
Adol Refai
Three, two. Oh, that's your point.
JPC
That's your point.
Adol Refai
That's your point.
JPC
It's your point.
Adol Refai
That's your point.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, guys, this is a painful watch, so I'm just gonna sort of.
JPC
Doctor. Doctor, can you do an exam? I think me and my friend both got ping pong dong after that.
Aaron Keefe
Well, that's very funny and I'm sure you do, but you're also sleeping with each other's wives, so let's just clear the air. And that's why this is happening. I'm gonna go get a smoothie.
Adol Refai
Fuck my zork. Say.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, here are the ones that Lizzie wrote. Are you ready?
Adol Refai
What were the previous ones?
Aaron Keefe
The New York Times ones?
Adol Refai
Oh, okay.
Aaron Keefe
Abnormally noisy timekeeping device.
Adol Refai
Clock. Watch. Smoch. Watch.
Aaron Keefe
Clock is right.
Adol Refai
Clock.
Aaron Keefe
And remember, it's the same word but you change the vowels. Clock.
JPC
Is it a click clack clock?
Aaron Keefe
A click clack clock. Wow. When you need to quickly get rid of meat based evidence.
Adol Refai
Mmm, Beef steak.
Aaron Keefe
This one's kind of hard. I think it's very good, though.
Adol Refai
Meat based evidence. Protein.
JPC
Okay, so are we looking for evidence?
Aaron Keefe
No, this is the. Evidence is kind of not the word that we're looking for. But when you're getting rid of dispose. Yeah. So one of them is like quickly, one of them is meat, and one of them is getting rid of toss.
Adol Refai
Dispose.
Aaron Keefe
This is probably the grossest word to use for meat.
JPC
Oh.
Aaron Keefe
Because you're like, ooh, that is what it is.
Adol Refai
Oh, flesh, flesh.
Aaron Keefe
So then you just change the vowels.
Adol Refai
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
And there's actually not that many.
JPC
Skin, Flush.
Adol Refai
Flesh.
Aaron Keefe
I think flesh is like.
JPC
Is flesh all of it? Yeah, yeah.
Adol Refai
Wait, flesh is all of it. What does that mean?
JPC
Well, flesh isn't just like skin, like bacon, right?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, I can't Google.
Adol Refai
Oh, you're saying flesh. Yes, I said flush. Flesh.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. And then. But there's one more. It's quick, quick.
Adol Refai
Oh, flash, flash, flush, flash, flush. Flesh.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Kind of. Kind of disgusting, huh, gang?
JPC
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, we're going to quickly get through the rest of these and then we're gonna take a break. Actually, let's Just take a break now, and then we'll get through them so we don't have to quickly get through them.
JPC
Hey, it's your party. Flush that flush.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Ah. Oh, no.
Aaron Keefe
You want us to ask about whatever this is?
Adol Refai
What?
JPC
No, no, it's.
Adol Refai
I fell for it.
JPC
It's not. It's not what you guys think. I don't even. I have no actual problem with you whatsoever. My bones are picked clean. My problem is with myself.
Adol Refai
Oh, what happened?
JPC
You know how I signed up for that shirt of a day club?
Adol Refai
Shirt of the day?
JPC
Yeah. Shirt of the day club.
Aaron Keefe
That's like an expensive thing.
JPC
Yeah. But I was, like, sick of, like, washing clothes, so I was like, oh, I'll do like, a shirt. And like, the way that the shirt of the day club is supposed to work, it's like they send you the shirt, you wear the shirt all day. Your kind of natural, kind of like, body movement will dissolve the shirt by the end of the day.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Let me guess. You forgot you want. You did the one week trial and then you forgot to cancel it, and then now you've been paying a lot of money.
JPC
Yeah. And they haven't been dissolving, so I've just been kind of putting them over the old shirt and like, it's kind of dissolving, but basically, like, I basically wear like six or seven shirts right now. They kind of like, dissolve, like, way slower than their.
Aaron Keefe
Could you be wearing any more shirts?
JPC
Thank you, Aaron.
Adol Refai
Jpc, you should have gotten Rocket Money to help cancel that subscription. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwooded subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bill so you can grow your savings.
JPC
Okay, so I could grow my savings instead of growing how many shirts I'm wearing on my body as they slowly dissolve. Because they must be made of food.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. And gpc. You're going to get alerts if bills increase in price, there's unusual spending activity, or if you're close to going over budget, which I'm sure you did with all of the shirts.
JPC
Yeah, each shirt is more expensive. They did make that pretty clear when I said that, that each shirt is to be like a compounding shirt cost because the shipping alone is killing me.
Adol Refai
And jpc, I don't know if you'll believe this, but Rocket Money has over 5 million users and has saved a total of 500 million in canceled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's premium features. And I just Looked up your shirt subscription. It is $2.8 million a year.
JPC
Okay, so shirt of the day is a bad deal. If you are listening to this, do not use shirt of the day and cancel your unwanted subscriptions and reach your financial goals faster with Rocket Money. Go to RocketMoney.com Riddle today. That's RocketMoney.com Riddle R I D D L E RocketMoney.com Riddle and tell them Shirt of the day. Wait, no, don't tell them that. Shirt of the day.
Aaron Keefe
I think the shirts are fusing to your skin. Jpc, let's get you to the hospital.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
Jpc. A little too busy to talk. Also so hungry. But I don't want to eat fast food. Even though I'm so busy. But because fast food's going to make me feel sick and sort of tired and not feel me. Right. But I gotta keep going. I'm moving, I'm busy, I'm on the go. I'm having it all.
JPC
Aaron, busy and hungry. Shut up. I don't care about your problems. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Wait. What if there is a solution to your problems?
Aaron Keefe
That would be just as much that's better than telling Aaron to shut up.
Adol Refai
Yeah, Aaron, I'm not going to tell you to shut up. I'm going to tell you to tune in to Tempo. Tempo is a weekly delivery service that delivers chef crafted meals from a dietitian approved menu. Fresh to your door.
JPC
Yeah, Aaron. Tempo serves up fast, feel good single serving meals that are crafted to cook in just three minutes so you can eat well without sacrificing taste or convenience.
Adol Refai
Yeah, Aaron, here's the thing. Sometimes I get home and I'm like, I don't have time to cook. The thought of cutting and dicing and slicing and baking just sounds exhausting to me. So I open my fridge, I take out one of these Tempo meals. It is ready in minutes. The sweet and tangy chicken they have with roasted potatoes, peas and creamed corn. Phenomenal. The sweet chili meatballs with jasmine rice, edamame and broccoli. Delicious.
Aaron Keefe
That sounds so good.
Adol Refai
It's all pre portioned. It's all very quick to make. It's healthy. It's delicious, Aaron. It's what you need.
JPC
Wow. Adol. Shut up.
Aaron Keefe
Perfect. They also offer a variety of meals for different dietary and taste preferences including protein packed, calorie conscious, carb conscious and fiber rich.
JPC

JPC
Cold, cold, cold.
Adol Refai
It's freezing out here. What's going on?
Aaron Keefe
Ooh, guys, it's pretty cold out here.
JPC
Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second. Is it cold out here or is that creeping chill coming from our own minds?
Aaron Keefe
That makes sense. Cause this year has been pretty difficult so far. Not naming names or months that were terrible. January, February, looking at you.
JPC
Not Gonna Name Years 20, 25 Looking at you.
Aaron Keefe
But what can we do about it? How can we feel better?
JPC
Wait a second. I just had a million dollar idea. I mean, it's not really a million dollar. They don't pay us million dollar. But if they wanted to, they could if they wanted to bump up our fee.
Aaron Keefe
Are you about to invent therapy? Because that already exists. And you can get it through BetterHelp.
JPC
BetterHelp is fully online, making therapy affordable and convenient and serving over 5 million people worldwide.
Adol Refai
You can access a diverse network of more than 30,000 credentialed therapists with a wide range of specialties.
Aaron Keefe
Cold. You can easily switch therapists anytime at no extra cost. I use BetterHelp. This works for how my brain works, which is I like to be able to message my counselor anytime when I'm actually experiencing something and it helps so much. Again, not looking at you any months. January, February, months.
JPC
And if you're one of those people out there that says, I don't know about online therapy, I don't know if it's right for me, let me demystify the whole thing by telling you exactly what the process is. You show up, you're sitting basically in front of your computer or whatever. Your therapist shows up, you tell them what is making your brain freezing cold. And then they say, tell me more about that. And you kind of talk through it and you leave the session and maybe your brain feels a little bit warmer now. Doesn't that sound pretty nice?
Adol Refai
Oh, that sounds. That's warming my heart.
Aaron Keefe
Warming up already.
JPC
Not too bad. Not too bad, Jim.

Adol Refai
We're wearing green flags.
JPC
We're wearing green flags.
Adol Refai
We're wearing green flags.
JPC
Huddle up. It's me, Angel Reese. You can't beat the post game burger and fries, right? Know what else you can't beat?

Adol Refai

JPC
I participate in restaurants for a limited.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, when you go home or you see your family, do you regress in any sort of way? Do they make you feel like an old version of yourself?
Adol Refai
When I would go back from college to where I went to high school, the home I went to high school in, the minute I stay the night in my bedroom, I get so unnecessarily upset with my mom, where my mom will yell upstairs and be like, dinner's ready. And I'm like, give me a second. And it comes out of nowhere. Like it's just a knee jerk reaction where I'm like, why am I being petulant? I've outgrown that. But there's something about being in a place you used to live when you were in school that really sets you back.
Aaron Keefe
Yes.
JPC
And when I go home, if I go home, I stay for four hours. So I don't really have enough time for there to be a regression. I stay for four hours and I say, well, got a three hour drive back to Chicago. Better be hitting the old dusty trail.
Aaron Keefe
So nice meeting y'all.
JPC
Then I get the fuck out of.
Adol Refai
There, taking the dirt roads. And when my sister and I are visiting my mom at the same time, we do, like, if I see my sister at my house or her place, we're fine. We're best friends. The minute we get to our mom's place, we're bickering. We're like, what's this? And my mom's like, oh, this was grandma's stamp collection. I thought one of you. And then we're like yanking at it together, trying to. Trying to grab it.
Aaron Keefe
I. I think it takes 20 minutes after being home that my sisters gang up on me and immediately are like, I've told you guys this. You're like, remember when you tried, you thought you had early access to a Harry Potter book and you printed it out and then you were so ashamed of it. Remember this? They bring that up every time I go home. And I was like, I was 11.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
I thought it ended up being smut. It ended up being Harry Potter smut.
Adol Refai
And I, of course, can you read us some Harry Potter's throbbing Ron, turn to page 69.
Aaron Keefe
We are back with some of these Lizzie originals.
JPC
I have a question though, because Adol mentioned her grandpa stamp collection and really wanting it, putting it in his house. Adol, I want to pitch to you a game show. Now, the game show is I get like a list of items that I know are in your house, in your possession.
Adol Refai
Good luck.
JPC
And then I take you in your house, I spin you around 10 times, and then I start the clock and I say, go find this thing. And then if you find it within a certain amount of time, you get to keep it. But if you don't find it, you gotta get rid of it or sell it.
Adol Refai
I'd be getting rid of 90% of my stuff.
JPC
I actually really like this game. I think that this could be. We could do this for charity. We could really make this work.
Aaron Keefe
I mean, what could go wrong, right?
JPC
Oh, you're saying he'd get too dizzy and he'd want to flesh like a.
Adol Refai
Kid playing a T ball when he spins around eight times?
JPC
Yeah, 10 might be too much. I love getting dizzy though, man. Ain't no better high than getting dizzy.
Aaron Keefe
Your kid seems to be really on a dizzy kick right now.
JPC
They love being dizzy. If they could, they'd just be dizzy all the time. And honestly, that sounds pretty fucking sweet.
Aaron Keefe
Do you think that's going to translate into them being like a figure skater or like a roller coaster person? Like, how do you think that's going to manifest?
Adol Refai
Lead SINGER TO Maroquai well, now that.
JPC
I know that whole thing about having that little stage in your house, the only thing that I'm trying to prevent them from becoming is an Aaron Keith. So I'm really. Wow. What? It seems bad.
Aaron Keefe
It's wonderful.
JPC
You're right. I'm sorry.
Aaron Keefe
I don't know why my life is so great that the little bullshit that you guys have to deal with and like, I have to deal with, like the Internet stuff is the price you pay for having a life as incredible as Mine.
JPC
Wow. Interesting.
Adol Refai
Worth it?
Aaron Keefe
It is.
JPC
It seems worth it.
Aaron Keefe
I'm so hot and tall and beautiful.
JPC
Can you believe I'm having trouble?
Aaron Keefe
I'm doing so good.
Adol Refai
We, Aaron, we believe you.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. This is a real lady doth protest too much. I'm coming after this too hard.
JPC
Weren't doing so good when you printed out that porn book from Harry Potter when you were 11.
Adol Refai
10 points from Gryffindor and one piece of clothing. Poker with McGonagall.
Aaron Keefe
A dull book about world record speeds.
Adol Refai
Guinness.
JPC
Wait, wow. If it's Guinness, that's awesome.
Adol Refai
A dull book about world record speeds.
JPC
Is it track?
Aaron Keefe
No.
JPC
Trick track? Truck?
Aaron Keefe
No.
Adol Refai
Sprint relay? Olympic? Is it Guinness?
Aaron Keefe
No, it's not Guinness.
JPC
Is it Ripley's?
Aaron Keefe
No. It is not a specific book about anything. It's a way to say book that is.
Adol Refai
Tome.
Aaron Keefe
Yes. How did you know?
JPC
Whoa.
Aaron Keefe
You're so impressive.
Adol Refai
I think it's all those years on Magic Tavern.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
We always say tome or grimoire.
JPC
Tame. Tome. No.
Adol Refai
To me. Tome. Right.
Aaron Keefe
Tame time. Tome.
JPC
Tame. Tome. Time. Records. Gotta be.
Adol Refai
It sounds like you're talking to someone and you're like, we'll meet tomorrow at noon again. And they're like, tame time to trying to say same time.
JPC
It feels like it's. All of these feel very Adam Sandler. Coded like tame time.
Adol Refai
Tome. Tame time.
JPC
Tome.
Adol Refai
It's too hot for a penguin to be just tame time.
JPC
Todd. Tolp.
Aaron Keefe
A red herring. Went in pursuit of a rogue 18 wheeler semi.
JPC
Truck.
Aaron Keefe
Truck.
JPC
Track. Wait.
Adol Refai
A trick.
Aaron Keefe
Yes.
JPC
Track.
Aaron Keefe
These are fun. Hmm. Can't think of a scene. That's rare.
Adol Refai
I do want to see a scene.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
Adol Refai
Aaron, you are a truck driver driving a semi truck across America. Jbc. You are in a car pulling alongside the semi truck that Aaron is in. And you're a little kid trying to get Aaron to do the horn honk thing, but she won't do it. And the cards are just sort of parallel enough for you to have a conversation.
JPC
Hey.
Aaron Keefe
Hey. There's a kid. Okay? He's showing me his arm. Oh, I get it. Your arms are stronger than my arms. I got weak arms.
JPC
I'm a little boy.
Aaron Keefe
Look how strong the little boy's arms are. Okay. I'm weak about that. He's not about that. Hold your.
JPC
On the truck.
Aaron Keefe
It's my divorce anniversary, kid. I. I don't need this today. I get it. Your arms are strong. You're a little kid. Your arms are stronger than me. I get it.
JPC
Let me drive the truck. You're not good at it.
Aaron Keefe
Let me.
JPC
You have the truck. Whoa. He's.
Aaron Keefe
He's climbing out the window. Kid, you crazy?
JPC
Hey, you don't know the trunk sides. You don't know the truck size. How long have you been a truck driver?
Aaron Keefe
God, this kid's crazy. Oh, my God. He's about to jump.
JPC
Open this window.
Aaron Keefe
He's hanging off the side of my truck. Kid, you're crazy. Come get your kid, lady.
Adol Refai
And we see his hands are in the semi window and his feet are still in his car window.
JPC
Open the window. Open the window. Oh, God. Unroll it.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. What?
JPC
A hand crank. You don't even have automatic windows.
Aaron Keefe
Hand cranks. Moves over to passenger side. Kid, you're crazy.
JPC
You're crazy, kid. That's all I wanted. Is that so hard?
Aaron Keefe
Kid? What the heck?
JPC
How long have you been driving a truck?
Aaron Keefe
20 years. Get out of my truck, kid.
JPC
No way. You don't look a day over 29. You've been driving this truck since you were nine years old.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, thanks, kid. I really needed that. It's my divorce anniversary.
JPC
Well, I don't know what he was thinking. I'm assuming it's a he.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Judging by. Yeah, okay. I don't know what he was thinking.
Aaron Keefe
Because we smash cut to a year of them on the road. They've learned a lot about each other. They've both grown. Well, kid, I gotta tell you, my whole 21 years of driving this truck, I never had one as good as this. You taught me everything I know, kid.
JPC
Well, I just want to thank you for keeping this relationship platonic. I guess it was mostly me.
Aaron Keefe
Of course.
JPC
You wanted to make it sexual on a lot of times.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, I. You. You couldn't do that.
JPC
I'm just saying you could do that in an improv.
Aaron Keefe
You can't do that in an improv scene.
Adol Refai
They pass billboard after billboard that says missing child with his picture.
Aaron Keefe
I hate you guys. I'm mad at you today. Not you, Adel. You're vip. Although I'm a little bit mad at you, but I'm mostly really mad at jpc. Jpc? I think the respond to JPC is about to get a little further down the list.
JPC
Oh, no. Well, I did it to myself.
Adol Refai
We got a VIP and a jpc.
JPC
I can't help myself. I like to play. I like to play. Is it a crime? I deserve everything that's coming to me.
Aaron Keefe
What happened when you hit the tread of a round metal ladder?
JPC
The tread of a round metal ladder? What is the tread of a ladder?
Adol Refai
I've never seen A round metal ladder.
Aaron Keefe
A docent is sort of a person who gives tours around a museum. Oh, how is that not helpful?
Adol Refai
A tire. A tire.
JPC
Oh, a round metal ladder. Would that be like a spoke?
Aaron Keefe
No, round.
JPC
An axle. A wheel?
Aaron Keefe
No, round.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
I'm thinking of the way the spokes of a bike, you could like climb them like a ladder. If you were like a borrower.
Adol Refai
Honey, I'm cleaning the gutters. Oh, no, I'm rolling away.
JPC
Worst. That's the worst.
Adol Refai
That's the worst.
Aaron Keefe
When your ladder rolls away, what's something that is circle shaped? What are some things?
Adol Refai
Tire wheel. A ball. Smaller armadillo. Smaller ball. Adam marble.
Aaron Keefe
You could wear it.
JPC
Bracelet.
Aaron Keefe
You could wear them smaller than a bracelet.
Adol Refai
Smaller than a ring. Yeah, a ring.
JPC
Ring, ring. Ring. Ring rung.
Adol Refai
Yeah, Ring, ring, rung. Ring, ring, rung.
Aaron Keefe
I'd like to see a scene like let's get loud. Adol. You are on top of a very tall ladder and GPC is in charge of holding the ladder for you to make sure you're safe. But he's getting a little distracted.
Adol Refai
Just a few more feet.
JPC
There's a guy in a food truck and it looks like he's giving away free Pepsis. I've just watched people walk up and get. It doesn't look like anyone's paying. And he's just giving away free Pepsis.
Adol Refai
Yeah, Chuck, I'll buy you a Pepsi later. We're trying to build a tower.
JPC
Free Pepsi.
Adol Refai
I know, I know, buddy.
JPC
What could be going on? Could a Pepsi machine in the truck be like going bad and he's gotta offload all these. Another guy with a Pepsi.
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah. It must be like a meetup or something. Maybe.
JPC
And he's got a silly straw.
Aaron Keefe
This Pepsi is amazing.
JPC
He's drinking Pepsi out of his silly straw. I'll be right back.
Aaron Keefe
I love this straw.
Adol Refai
Now hold the ladder. Hey, Chuck, hold the ladder.
JPC
I have one hand on it. I have one hand on it. I'm not going to make it across the street to get the Pepsi. Hold on. I know. Hold on. See this dog?
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
I'll have this dog hold the ladder.
Adol Refai
Here, boy. No, this is.
JPC
I'll tie. Hold on. I'll tie his leash.
Adol Refai
Is it a sitter or setter?
JPC
What are they called? I don't know. I'll tie his leash to the ladder and that. So that'll weigh the ladder down.
Adol Refai
No, but then when he runs, he'll. He'll tug at the ladder. Oh, good boy.
Aaron Keefe
Stay.
JPC
What's he gonna run at? Dogs don't want Pepsi.
Adol Refai
Stay.
JPC
Oh, he does. Oh, he really wants. Okay, hold on. I'm holding it. I'm. Hold it.
Adol Refai
I'm holding it.
JPC
Oh, boy. He is really going out for that Pepsi. I'm gonna cut him off. Okay. Oh, okay. You're fine. You're fine. Look. Oh, my God. That dog's getting a Pepsi. They're giving that Pepsi to a dog. This must be some good Pepsi. Here's what I'll do. I'll take you and the ladder with me.
Adol Refai
No, don't. Whoa, you're doing it. You're balancing.
JPC
Step, step, stat. Uh oh, car's coming. Stat. He'll slow down, Stan. He'll slow down, Stan. He'll slow down, Stan. He'll slow down.
Aaron Keefe
We have your X rays and we have your test results back, but you have to promise to not laugh. Okay?
Adol Refai
Give it to me straight, Doctor.
Aaron Keefe

Adol Refai
Let's see. Aaron, that's the funniest thing a doctor can say to you during a diagnosis. You have.
Aaron Keefe

Aaron Keefe
It's Ping Pong Pong Dong. I'm sorry.
Adol Refai
Ping Pong Dong.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, I apologize.
JPC
How could you forget the name of the episode?
Aaron Keefe
Who says? I'm gonna make that the name of the episode? I think the name of the episode is gonna be Aaron Is Thriving.
Adol Refai
I like that.
Aaron Keefe
There's a lot going so well for me.
JPC
I believe you.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, I did improv with so many cool people this week. Adel and I got to do improv with Richard Kyne, who was the nicest.
Adol Refai
Throughout the whole show, he kept leaning over to me and saying, this is nuts.
Aaron Keefe
So cool.
Adol Refai
Which was fun.
Aaron Keefe
The incredible.
JPC
That's very fun.
Aaron Keefe
Richard. For a moment, it was just like 20 minutes of Richard Kine and I just backstage sitting on steps together. And I was like, well, this is kind of. This is quite lovely.
Adol Refai
My favorite thing is, Aaron said she was. Because before the show, we were talking to Richard about, like, for Magic Tavern. Were like, so it's not Earth, but you can make, like, an analogous, you know, but you can't say, like, you know, I'm in San Francisco and I have a computer. You can't. You know, it's all sort of. And he was like, I kind of get it. And then backstage, I guess Aaron said. He said, so, what are cars?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. He just kept asking questions like that. And I was like, let's. Let's fucking get into It Richard. Kai.
JPC
Let's find out. Let's go out there and find out. Richard.
Aaron Keefe
Nuts. Okay. I am very proud of this one. Up to you if it's deserved. That's what Lizzie said.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
Extremely heavy Star wars creature who made it off Hoth to get some sun and now happens to be made of metal.
Adol Refai
So, jpc, you would know best. Who was on Hoth? Was that Jabba? Was that the Sarlock pit? Was that Boba?
JPC
What? I don't think Jabba was on Hoth, but Hutt is an extremely heavy Star wars creature.
Aaron Keefe
I don't know if I know enough to be able to give good hints.
Adol Refai
DeVintawa Jabba.
JPC
TomTom's World.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, yes. Yep.
Adol Refai
Tom Tom.
Aaron Keefe
That's part of it. This one's hard.
Adol Refai
Oh, the tauntaun.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
That he. Hoth is an ice planet and he cuts open the tauntan.
JPC
Yeah. To sleep in the taunt. So tan. Is it just tan or is it Tauntan?
Aaron Keefe
Tauntan.
Adol Refai
So a tan.
JPC

JPC

Aaron Keefe
10 ton tenton.
Adol Refai
I do want to see a scene.
Aaron Keefe
What could you possibly. What could this possibly be? Can't wait.
Adol Refai
I do want to see a scene. The two of you are in the Star wars universe. You are trapped on Hoth. It is freezing cold. Jpc, you're trying to convince Eren to crawl inside a dead tauntaun to stay warm for the night. Aaron, you're ooked out and don't want to go inside.
JPC
Looks like that wind isn't letting up. Okay, Zorf, if you want to stay alive, you're gonna have to climb inside this tauntaun.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, well, that's a little weird.
Adol Refai
Well, it's.
JPC
Well, no, I mean, it's because its body heat is going to be warm enough because I've. It's freshly killed. It's going to be warden enough to keep you alive in its like. And it's, it's. Frankly, it's going to be disgusting in its body heat.
Aaron Keefe
I don't know, man. I'm looking kind of in there and it looks like you sort of painted and sort of made it homey. Well, weird.
JPC
Yeah, I didn't want it to be, like, not nice for you. I can't do anything about the smell, but I could at least spruce it up.
Aaron Keefe
This just feels a little insensitive. He was our companion. Like, we were all really close.
JPC
Okay, yeah, maybe he should live and you should die. Maybe that's how it should have worked. I. I'm gonna be fine. We have this Canadian goose parka all the way down. Big hood.
Aaron Keefe
Is this why you killed him? Did you? Were you trying to make his house into your apartment or his body into your apartment?
JPC
First of all, I'm not going in there. It stinks in there. And I have a 1200 credit jacket that I'm going to be more than comfortable with.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, then why is this huge TV in here?
JPC
He may have eaten that. That may have been something he ate.
Aaron Keefe
Is it partially digested that we cannot be turning our friends bodies into our apartments?
JPC
First of all, he was not a friend, okay? I bought him from a man.
Aaron Keefe
You were his best man.
JPC
I was his only man.
Adol Refai
Sorry, buddy. I'm done in here. We did the. For the kitchen. We did the backsplash and the subway tile. Oh, hi. Hello.
JPC
Here's some credits. And also him. Here's some credits for like, lunch or whatever. Get yourself something, you know.
Adol Refai
Oh, nice.
JPC
I know I don't have to, but you and the guys, you did a great job. Have lunch on me.
Adol Refai
Oh, hell yeah. Guys, we're getting space sandwiches.
Aaron Keefe
Wow, you must have had to hire these guys way before he's dead. You're not a very good friend, man.
JPC
What? Are you kidding me? I just met this guy and his little babu. Freaks. Hey, guys, I don't even.
Aaron Keefe
Are you willing to do another job?
Adol Refai
Yeah, if the credits are right.
Aaron Keefe

Adol Refai
Meh.
JPC
Fine. You know what? Don't sleep in the tauntaun. I guess nobody wants to sleep in the tauntaun. I guess I'm killing these things for some sort of sport.
Aaron Keefe

Podcast Summary: Hey Riddle Riddle #343: Promise Not to Laugh
Episode Overview
In episode #343 of "Hey Riddle Riddle," titled "Promise Not to Laugh," hosts Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan venture into a blend of improvisational comedy, personal anecdotes, and interactive challenges. Diverging slightly from their typical riddle-solving format, this episode emphasizes humor and camaraderie, challenging both themselves and their listeners to maintain composure without succumbing to laughter.
The episode begins with the hosts engaging in light-hearted banter about Bombas, their sock and clothing sponsor. This segment serves as a brief and humorous introduction before delving into the main content.

Quote [00:16] - Adol Refai: "And I really love my Bombas."
Despite the sponsorship, the hosts quickly transition to their characteristic playful dialogue, establishing a relaxed and comedic atmosphere.
The hosts embark on a fictional tour of the "Hey Riddle Riddle Museum," a setup that allows for improvisational jokes and interactions.
Quote [01:07] - Aaron Keefe: "Thank you so much for coming to the hey, Riddle. Riddle Museum. Are you a school group? Are you on vacation? What brought you in here today?"
Quote [02:07] - JPC: "What movie is that from?"
This segment showcases the hosts' ability to create humorous scenarios on the fly, setting the stage for the episode's theme of resisting laughter amidst comedic chaos.
The conversation shifts towards personal struggles with communication, particularly focusing on Aaron Keefe's anxiety related to constant texting.

This candid discussion provides listeners with insights into the hosts' personal lives, highlighting the pressures of modern communication and mental health.
Re-engaging with the podcast's core theme, the hosts introduce a series of riddles inspired by wordplay, where changing vowels alter the meaning of words.
Quote [13:44] - JPC: "Okay."
Quote [23:22] - Adol Refai: "Funko Pop."
Despite their initial enthusiasm, the hosts humorously struggle to articulate the riddles, intertwining jokes and playful frustration.
The episode delves deeper into improvisational comedy, with the hosts creating fictional scenarios that blend humor with absurdity.
Quote [28:07] - Aaron Keefe: "Shut up, you guys. My Internet was not rushing this morning. I had a whole other episode I was planning on doing and then it threw me for such a loop and I burst into tears and I went, I don't know if I can do it."
Quote [35:32] - Adol Refai: "I guarantee you they probably in Top Gun Maverick. They probably cast like Sydney Sweeney."
These improvs highlight the hosts' comedic chemistry and their ability to maintain humor even when navigating personal vulnerabilities.
The hosts attempt more complex riddles, incorporating pop culture references and intricate wordplay.
Quote [54:33] - Adol Refai: "So, JPC, you would know best. Who was on Hoth? Was that Jabba? Was that the Sarlock pit? Was that Boba?"
Quote [55:08] - Adol Refai: "Rin. Tin. Tin. Tan. Taunton tin ton. Tan, tin."
Despite their efforts, the riddles remain enmeshed within their comedic exchanges, creating a dynamic yet chaotic problem-solving environment.

Quote [52:42] - Adol Refai: "Get yourself something, you know."
Quote [60:30] - Adol Refai: "A bish bitch itch. A butch bitch batch."
These scenes showcase the hosts' creativity and their knack for sustaining humor through elaborate storytelling.
As the episode winds down, the hosts continue with improvs, tying together the theme of resisting laughter amidst ongoing comedic scenarios.
Quote [65:53] - Aaron Keefe: "Right to the front of the line. Tell us what you want to plug my guy."
