This is a headgum podcast.
Adol Refai
Get the Angel REEF Special at McDonald's. Now let's break it down. My favorite barbecue sauce, American cheese, crispy bacon, pickles, onions, and a sesame seed bun, of course. And don't forget the fries and the drinks. Sound good? Ba da ba ba ba. I participate in restaurants for a limited time. The doctor was the mother he stood on a block of ice. Both of them were goldfish. It was the cabin of an airplane. He stabbed him with an ice away and the horses seem right.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, guys, we just got a letter from the Riddle Council, and I'm reading through it.
JPC
Yeah. How bad, Aaron? How bad?
Aaron Keefe
They're not happy. They're not happy that we called ourselves a little podcast.
Adol Refai
They're like fuddy duddies. You know those guys?
JPC
Is it like a cease and deceased or whatever?
Aaron Keefe
Cease and decease? Yeah. Stop and die.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
Stopper will kill you. Stop and die. That's cease and deceased.
Aaron Keefe
Cease.
Adol Refai
A cease and deceased is one of the worst letters you can send someone. Not only should they stop what they're doing, but they should die.
JPC
I think that's good. If someone's ever annoying you to just yell stop and die.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, guys, they're really mad that we put riddle in our title twice and we only do a couple riddles per episode.
Adol Refai
Oh, my God. Honestly, I had to think about that for a second. I was like, is it in there twice?
Aaron Keefe
We have 90 days to kill each other or they'll do it for us.
JPC
Oh, my God.
Aaron Keefe
This just feels. Should I just put it in the paperwork pile? I don't really want to deal with this.
Adol Refai
Well, whenever someone's like, you have 90 days to do something or I'll do it for you, I'm like, well, then you'll be doing it for me. I mean, what kind of threat is this?
JPC
And we should say even. Even if you think listeners, even if you think you haven't heard about the Riddle Council, their tendrils are everywhere. RC Cola. That stands for Riddle Council Cola.
Adol Refai
Anything else?
JPC
It might just be the one.
Adol Refai
It just might be that. But even that is like. Oh, and I know it's not like the biggest brand of cola. Maybe you haven't heard of it or seen it in, like 20 years, but it's bigger than your brand of cola.
JPC
Yeah. Knife right in the neck.
Adol Refai
Oh, thank you. You opened up my RC Cola.
Aaron Keefe
Damn it. Very famous people have been in the Riddle Council. Ray Charles, Russell Crowe, Rosemary Clooney, Roger Clemens.
JPC
Aaron, I'm gonna ask this one time, and I'm not gonna ask it again. Did you google celebrities with RC initials?
Aaron Keefe
I'm not allowed to Google.
JPC
Wow, there must be pun. I just got a letter from the Ruddle council. Said there must be punishment for Aaron breaking the rules.
Aaron Keefe
Rob Cordry. Oh my God. What's the punishment? What do I get? This was my rule and I broke it.
Adol Refai
Oh God. I can't think of anyone without googling a celebrity that is rc. Rosemary Cash, Richard Kickson.
JPC
Raul Coolia.
Adol Refai
Oh boy, can I even think of.
JPC
Roberto Clemente, Ron Kurlman.
Adol Refai
Oh boy. Just anyone with our first name would be helpful.
JPC
Rita Kudner.
Aaron Keefe
Well anyways, welcome to hey Riddle Riddle at Dattlets jpc. We're not allowed to Google this year and I broke the rule.
JPC
Yeah. Aaron, do you mind stepping to the side here? Okay, just for one second.
Adol Refai
Yeah, just outside.
JPC
Hey gpc, what do we think the punishment should be? Maybe she now has to google every episode.
Adol Refai
That's actually a really good punishment. It's like the we caught her smoking. Now she has to smoke the whole pack.
JPC
The whole pack. Put her to the closet. Don't come out till you smoke the whole pack. Which is insane because where's that smoke going if you're smoking cigarettes in the closet? Til the pack.
Adol Refai
Yeah, all my jackets are in there, guys. Sorry.
Aaron Keefe
I'm smoking a whole pack of cigarettes.
Adol Refai
Oh hey Aaron, you never have to apologize for being cool.
JPC
Aaron, every episode. We are now going to ask you to google something and you have to google it.
Aaron Keefe
No, I don't want to learn.
Adol Refai
Oh Aaron, the point of this will not be knowledge, it will be punishment. We will be having you google some of the worst stuff that you could ever imagine. Googling.
JPC
Aaron, go ahead. Do you have your Google open trader?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
I want you to google Richard Gere net worth.
Aaron Keefe
Richard Gere gerbil.
Adol Refai
No, no, no.
JPC
We all know what's going on there.
Aaron Keefe
Richard Trump. Richard Gere net worth 2024.
Adol Refai
Yeah. What is his net worth?
Aaron Keefe
It said Richard Gere put a gerbil up his ass. No, that's not what it said. He In 2024 he sold his Connecticut home for 10.75 million and he was planning on moving to Spain.
JPC
Just put 10.8. What are we doing?
Adol Refai
Yeah, what are we doing?
JPC
Aaron, I'm so sorry. That sounds like a very cool successful sale. But that does not.
Aaron Keefe
He's worth 120 million.
JPC
Thank you.
Aaron Keefe
Says the Internet. But the Internet also says you're worth a million, so it's way low. Yeah, it's way low. You just sold Your Connecticut home for 10.8 million.
Adol Refai
He just bought Richard. He paid out the ass for Richard Gears.
JPC
He paid out the ass gerbil up the ass for.
Adol Refai
All right, Aaron, go ahead and Google Unabomber manifesto. Good points. .
Aaron Keefe
Why is it@jpc.net what is this?
Adol Refai
There's some good points in there. Ted Kaczynski knew his stuff. Complete psychopath knew his stuff.
JPC
He went to mit, right?
Adol Refai
Yeah, I think so. Mit, that's the one that is in, like, a shack in the middle of the woods, right?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, we've all been to mit. Did I go to the school? No, but I've walked through the campus.
Adol Refai
I've worn an mit T, E, N, S. Cool.
Aaron Keefe
This guy's worn mittens. That's fucking sick, bro.
Adol Refai
All right, well, Aaron, you're in huge trouble if you're listening to this. We are currently in the middle of the ocean. Isn't that crazy? We don't like to announce kind of where we are or where we're going to be on the podcast because of Killers. But if there's any of you. What are they called? Oh, pirates. If there's any of you pirates out there that are listening to this, you know where to find us. We're in the middle of the ocean right now, baby.
Aaron Keefe
What do you think you're doing right now? As this episode comes out?
Adol Refai
This episode drops at 3am Central Time. So right when this episode drops, Wednesday, 3am, I am.
Aaron Keefe
Is that when it drops? I thought it dropped at midnight Central time.
Adol Refai
No, 3:00am oh, okay. And Aaron, you post some of these episodes. Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Yes, yes, yes.
JPC
Aaron, I've been posting at midnight as well.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, okay.
Adol Refai
So.
JPC
Oh, no.
Aaron Keefe
He's gonna think he smoked a whole pack at all.
Adol Refai
We'll do it. We'll do it. We'll do an impromptu little meeting. So we. When they. When the network emails us, unfortunately, we do have to read those emails. I know, I know.
Aaron Keefe
Nobody wants to have the Patreon. I post the Patreon at 10:00pm yes.
Adol Refai
Aaron, that is correct. The Patreon posts at midnight. That is.
Aaron Keefe
And then 1am is for the main.
Adol Refai
Feed, which for you is 3am no.
Aaron Keefe
It'S 1am for me, it's for you.
Adol Refai
It'S 3am yeah, but it's essentially the same thing. This is the main feed episode. So we all figured it out. We know where we are.
Aaron Keefe
I feel like a patriot.
JPC
I'll say right now, Wednesday, 3am I'm probably eating breakfast or lunch.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Oh, gosh.
Aaron Keefe
I wonder what I'm doing well. It would be kind of 5am I think I'm probably asleep right now. And then I'm probably sort of laughing with my friends. If you're listening to this later in.
Adol Refai
The day, I'm probably asleep right now. But Mariah did tell me the other night we were sleeping and she kind of like, I think she woke up, she had to go to the bathroom or something. But I was asleep as well and she saw me go, what? While I was asleep. Now I don't remember this at all.
Aaron Keefe
That's scary.
Adol Refai
But I had a little laugh and I kind of gave a little like, what's going on? Like, what is this? So I don't remember when we talked about it the next day. I don't remember if I was having a dream. I very rarely remember my dreams, but thought that was funny. I thought that was fun. I was having a good time in a dream. So that's my guess. 3:00am Good.
JPC
You have dream friends.
Aaron Keefe
Scary stuff, man.
Adol Refai
Scary stuff, scary stuff.
JPC
How many sharks do we think we've seen at this point on the boat?
Aaron Keefe
Loan sharks.
JPC
Card sharks. Shark sharks. Jetson sharks.
Adol Refai
I wanted to say like shark, shark. Like a shark. As like a shark. But I was like, what is this? What? You know, how do I make like a shark pants? I don't know.
JPC
I think it's impossible for sharks to sharp. Because they don't wear pants.
Adol Refai
Because they don't wear pants. They're just always in the water. Yeah, well, I guess. And do they fart? No. Why would they?
JPC
Oh, Aaron. Gbc. This is the perfect episode for Aaron. Broken her oath. Aaron, please Google, do sharks fart?
Adol Refai
Aaron, go ahead and google. Do sharks fart?
JPC
Do sharks fart? Doot, doot, doot, doot, doot, doot. Do sharks fart? Doot doot doot.
Aaron Keefe
Most sharks do not fart.
JPC
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on.
Aaron Keefe
But sand sharks throwing off all banana.
Adol Refai
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Battle's dead.
JPC
This is the funniest thing I've ever heard this. They are calling out shark.
Aaron Keefe
Casey loves it too. That's so embarrassing. I would be so embarrassed about it.
Adol Refai
Feels like the answer is also written by sharks. Like do sharks fart? Most sharks don't.
JPC
And then whoever, whatever shark said that turn their head to look at like Kyle to look at like one shark.
Adol Refai
Specifically, famously can't turn their head, turn their whole body. It's not subtle at all. They turn their whole ass body to look at one shark.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, you guys. I'M crying.
Adol Refai
Sharks just ate a big bean fish. And it's like, what?
JPC
Kyle's like, I guess I'll keep moving or else I'll die. Like, I have to keep going to different communities. Cause I'm the one shark who farts. That's a children's book. The one shark. The one shark who farts.
Aaron Keefe
I love it.
JPC
Hold on. I'm writing this down.
Adol Refai
You were saying that what type of shark does fart?
Aaron Keefe
There's a type that farts. I have terrible. I've got good news and good news. Sand tiger sharks can release gas bubbles from their cloaca.
JPC
Just say fart. What are we doing?
Aaron Keefe
But most shark species do not fart. But other fish. You guys, some bony fish have swim bladders that are connected to their digestive tract. These fish can release gas from their swim bladders through their mouths. Through their mouths. Fish are farting through their mouths.
JPC
This changes everything. Fish fart out their mouth. Not all sharks fart. One does this.
Aaron Keefe
Only one shark farts.
Adol Refai
What would you do if you were hanging out with some friends and a friend, like, burped, but the sound that came out from the burp was the sound of a fart.
Aaron Keefe
I would find new friends as a burp. Jellyfish, corals, and sea anemones cannot fart because they. Yeah, okay.
JPC
That must be so painful.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Does it say can, or does it say may? Is it one of those things where you ask your teacher, like, can I go to the bathroom? And they're like, they may fart.
Aaron Keefe
They may fart. Squid, octopus, and cuttlefish. You can fart.
JPC
That makes sense.
Adol Refai
Oh, I believe squids can fart.
Aaron Keefe
Sharks don't pee. Their urine is absorbed into the flesh.
Adol Refai
What?
JPC
That's not healthy.
Adol Refai
Honestly, that sounds like the most healthy thing. It sounds like, like, sharks are wearing, like, a still suit. Like, they're like Fremen. I would honestly.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I could just warm the pee.
Adol Refai
Oh, God.
JPC
But what if I hate to do this. Maybe the number one answer of all time from our podcast. How would you pee out? The poison?
Adol Refai
Yeah, that's right. The poison would just stay in. That'd be rough. That would be rough.
Aaron Keefe
Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. And there's absolutely no way to tell if some fish get thirsty or not.
JPC
Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
What?
JPC
Aaron, we asked you to Google very specifically, do sharks.
Aaron Keefe
Stingrays are. Stingrays can burp. Stingrays can burp.
JPC
What did you say about some sharks feel like sandpaper. What was it?
Aaron Keefe
Their skin feels like sandpaper. I thought they were Gonna be slim.
JPC
What was the other part of that? You said something else.
Aaron Keefe
Stingrays can burp.
JPC
No.
Adol Refai
Oh.
Aaron Keefe
Oh. There's no way to tell if fish can get thirsty.
JPC
Yeah. Aaron, what are you talking about? They live in water.
Aaron Keefe
I know. Well, they absorb water, but also there's no way.
JPC
How do we even begin to unpack?
Aaron Keefe
Saltwater fish have to drink.
JPC
There's no way to tell fish get thirsty.
Aaron Keefe
Birds actually don't fart at all. According to the book, which. Please buy this book for me. Does it Fart? The definitive guide to animal flatulence. Birds don't have the necessary gas producing gut.
Adol Refai
What animals don't. If you have that book, go ahead and send that to the. Hey, Riddle. Riddle. P.O. box. I hope we get 100 copies of does it Fart?
JPC
This is like a good. Is it cake?
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Most insects don't fart.
Adol Refai
Aaron, when you say that birds don't fart, does that mean that every time a bird goes to poop, it's successful?
Aaron Keefe
By the way, they said your mom last night. I don't know.
Adol Refai
All right, Aaron, this can't be what the episode is. Should we do something else?
JPC
I wish it was. I wish it was just Google Aaron, Googling things.
Aaron Keefe
Do insects? Yes, some insects fart, but not all of them do.
JPC
That's how we get honey.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Turns again, looks at Mark. Oh, you guys, you should be farting. You're making. You're making all the look bad.
Aaron Keefe
You're gonna absolutely hate these two bugs that fart a lot.
JPC
Stink bug and dung beetle.
Aaron Keefe
No. Well, stink bugs do fart a lot, but termites and cockroaches, especially when they are in a. They eat a high fiber diet.
JPC
Wood farts. Oh, those fucking turbine.
Adol Refai
I'm actually fine with that because both of those are like kind of gross bugs to me. So if you're like, hey, the gross bug does more gross stuff, I'm like, yeah, I already thought it was gross. It's not like I. It's not like what's a bug? I have a really high opinion of what do we do?
JPC
Butterfly.
Aaron Keefe
Adult butterfly.
Adol Refai
I think butterflies are saints. If I hear any differently about a butterfly, I'll call you a liar to your face.
JPC
But let me make it clear. Moths are disgusting.
Adol Refai
Yeah, I mean, honestly, butterflies pretty sick. Pretty sick looking. I mean, fun to see from a distance. Up close you're like, damn, you're a real bug. You're a real ass bug. You're just hiding.
JPC
Your wings are nice, but the rest of you fucked up.
Adol Refai
Yeah, it's fucked up.
Aaron Keefe
And Bug, I have some riddles from Matthew McNeese Young.
Adol Refai
Okay?
Aaron Keefe
And I think that these are a fun format, and I hope that people are inspired by this and they send in more for us. You're going to really like the title to these.
Adol Refai
Okay, but Matthew McNeese young, that took a turn.
JPC
I didn't expect the young to be shoehorned in there.
Adol Refai
Yeah. And it's also like, you've got, like.
Aaron Keefe
This is good, because the riddle is his name. Let's dig into it, gang.
Adol Refai
You've got, like, Young and Neeson there as well, which feels like you. It's like there should be, like, a guy whose name is, like, Connor O'Nephew old or something like that.
Aaron Keefe
That's his cousin.
Adol Refai
Yeah. We all know how cousins work. Cousins have opposite names. That's how we.
JPC
The inverse of your name.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
And you. When I tell you the name of this segment, you can't make a joke. Okay, I won't.
Adol Refai
Why would I?
JPC
Okay. Okay.
Aaron Keefe
These are a game he's calling celebrity mouthfuls Insect Farts. Each one will have a celebrity's name and two other things that rhyme with it.
Adol Refai
Okay?
Aaron Keefe
So I think we should just get into it. I'll do the first one and then you'll understand.
Adol Refai
That's 20 minutes in. Let's get into it.
Aaron Keefe
I really meant to start earlier, but then, you guys, we learned that only one kind of shark can fart. And that's so important. It's so important for our friendship. Forget it.
Adol Refai
This is why we shouldn't Google on the show, because this is what happens when we do it.
Aaron Keefe
And this is what happens when the riddle committee comes after us. We double down and get worse.
JPC
Yep, this is what it sounds like when sharks farked Prince.
Aaron Keefe
This actor, known for playing Sonny Corleone in the Godfather, is snacking on a French custard dessert while driving on a German highway famous for having no speed limit.
JPC
James Kahn, Flan Audubon.
Aaron Keefe
But you make it into, like, a coherent sentence.
Adol Refai
Hell.
Aaron Keefe
James Caan eating.
JPC
James Caan eating flan on the Autobahn.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
James Caan eating flan on the Autobahn.
Aaron Keefe
And now. And these all sort of sound like the warm ups that JPC used to do before it in person.
Adol Refai
James Caan eating a flan on the Autobot.
Aaron Keefe
This American actor who starred in Cocoon is snacking on a soft cheese while riding on a recreational water vehicle.
JPC
Wilford Brimley eating soft cheese.
Adol Refai
Brie.
Aaron Keefe
Mm. Wilford Brimley eating Brie on a jet ski. I'd like to see a scene.
Adol Refai
Wilford Brimley eating Brie on a Jet Ski.
Aaron Keefe
You two are coworkers in gpc. You're sort of known for exaggerating and lying a lot. But this past weekend, you really did see Wilford Brimley eating Bree on a Jet Ski. And you're trying to explain this to Adol? And Adol, you don't really believe him.
JPC
Have you seen where the new wrenches are being displayed?
Adol Refai
Yeah, it's like, aisle seven, I think, which is with all the rest of the. Wait, wait. How was your weekend?
JPC
Oh, it was good. Went scuba diving. Thought a great wike was the great white, which is a new type of shark. It's half pike. You know the fish. Pike and half great white. It was swimming right towards me, but then it farted, and I was like, oh, that's not a threat, if that makes sense. Oh, I'm gonna go hang up these wrenches.
Adol Refai
Yeah, no, that makes sense. I'm sorry. What you just said just kind of. I was gonna lie to you about something that I saw this weekend as well, and.
JPC
Oh.
Adol Refai
Just kind of feels like you kind of like, pre lied on me.
JPC
Oh, sorry.
Adol Refai
I brought this great wike, which I've never even heard of, and then, like, it farted and, like, what were you doing in the ocean?
JPC
Yeah, I was.
Adol Refai
You went to the ocean this weekend?
JPC
Yeah. My cousin's a cartographer, which means he finds maps, and he found some. Some doubloons. A chest full of doubloons from the Spanish Armada that got lost, and we. We were able to sort of triangulate the position and dig it out.
Adol Refai
I get what's going on. Huh? Everybody thinks that I lie. No one wants to talk to me. So now everybody's coming up to me and they're coming up with lies about.
JPC
Things that they did.
Adol Refai
Like a taste of my own medicine.
JPC
Ricky.
Adol Refai
No, it's fine.
JPC
You are 8ft 9, 10,000 pounds.
Adol Refai
I get it, I get it, I get it. I saw Wilford Brimley eating Brianna Jet Ski this weekend.
JPC
Come on, man.
Adol Refai
I saw that.
JPC
Why would this spokesman for diabetes eat cheese? Everybody's gonna get gout.
Adol Refai
Everybody's gotta eat. I hope you get gout. See?
JPC
Whoa. I hope you get. Got gout.
Adol Refai
Overreaction. All right, Aaron, hit us with another one of these things.
Aaron Keefe
All right? This American politician who served as the White House chief of staff for the first six months of Donald Trump's presidency is solving a word puzzle that uses pictures and letters to represent words or phrases with an unborn child.
JPC
Sean Spicer. No.
Adol Refai
Who was the chief of staff? Was it Bannon? Was Bannon the Chief of Staff? No, he was the National Security advisor.
JPC
Scaramucci.
Aaron Keefe
I forgot about this character.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Cause like, with every of the. My God, 2016. What a time to be alive. All of those early Trump characters, they lasted for so short a time.
JPC
Yeah, a lot of turnover.
Aaron Keefe
Well, maybe do the other parts of it. What's an unborn child?
JPC
Born child.
Aaron Keefe
Yep.
JPC
Cletus. Cletus. Fetus. Cletus.
Adol Refai
This person's last name rhymes with fetus.
Aaron Keefe
I'm actually gonna. I googled again Omarosa YouTube video on how to say this guy's name.
JPC
Scarameches.
Adol Refai
Reince Priebus. Reince Priebus. Reince Priebus. Oh, God, I forgot about Reince.
JPC
I forgot all about that guy.
Aaron Keefe
What about the word puzzle Rebus?
Adol Refai
Fuck the word puzzle.
JPC
Reince Priebus. With a fetus doing a rebus.
Aaron Keefe
It solves a rebus with a fetus.
JPC
And have you guys ever listened to Rebus McIntyre?
Aaron Keefe
A single mom who works and never stops. I promised myself I'd never the show again.
Adol Refai
I'm breaking promises went away. I heard that they retired his jersey. They retired both of those names. They retired the first name Reince and the last name Priebus. You don't have. We never have to know those two names ever again.
JPC
As someone whose name is Adol Shoki Refai, Reince Priebus is a fucked name. I'm throwing stones from a glass house.
Adol Refai
You're like, okay, the guy's name is Reince Priebus. And you're like, ah, that kind of sucks. And you're like, is he a good guy? And someone's like, no. You're like, oh, thank God. Thank God. I feel comfortable making fun of this man's name.
JPC
I once bought a Toyota Priebus and it crapped out on me after six months. After six months.
Adol Refai
Yeah. I once bought some bad shampoo that told me to lather Reince repeat. And I was like, no, thank you.
Aaron Keefe
I don't have one.
Adol Refai
Aaron, Just do one, Aaron.
JPC
Google. Google1.
Aaron Keefe
How do you say his first name again?
JPC
Reince.
Aaron Keefe
Reince. I don't know the difference between right and wrong.
JPC
Yeah. Like a rhinestone cowboy.
Adol Refai
I think I told you guys that.
Aaron Keefe
You have the rights to remain awful.
JPC
This is.
Adol Refai
This is a. This is a absolute plug for me mid episode. But I've been re listening to the Teacher's Lounge podcast. It's a fantastic podcast. And the first nine Seasons are available for free and then you can buy the other ones from the big grande website. And we've had all of those guys on the show before, but the, the way that the three of them shit on John Mackey constantly is so funny to me because they'll all do a run off, like a pun on someone's name and they'll like take all the good puns and then they'll be like, john. Well, not John because he's not John on the podcast. But they'll, they'll be like, now you do what? Now you do what? I was like, that's, that's the way that we treat Aaron. That's the way she. Aaron when we do our pun.
Aaron Keefe
And you know what? I'm similar to John Mackey in that way. We do a lot of setting up to other for other people. It's an honor.
JPC
Aaron, you're.
Adol Refai
It's an honor and a preblage previs.
JPC
Aaron, you're very similar to John Mackey, who's absolutely a delight and a treat. But you're not tall.
Aaron Keefe
I know he's tall. Fun fact about John Mackey, my dog loves John Mackey. He just walked in my house and was like, what's up? Are you my brother? I love this great vibe. Okay, let's be serious, guys. No more joking.
Adol Refai
I would never, I wouldn't even think to joke.
Aaron Keefe
Let's not send people to a funnier podcast. Okay? Let's keep everyone hang out here. This Chicago improviser is sitting on an oar.
Adol Refai
Oh. This Chicago improviser is sitting on a paddle.
JPC
Paddle. On a paddle.
Aaron Keefe
But how are you sitting? What's a way to sit on something?
JPC
Adol straddles a paddle.
Adol Refai
Straddles Adle.
JPC
Straddle paddle.
Aaron Keefe
I'd like to see a scene.
Adol Refai
I almost went a completely different direction with that because there is a Chicago improviser whose last name is Or. And I was like, oh, come on. What are we doing here?
Aaron Keefe
How would this person know that?
Adol Refai
I don't know. I know it. I'm the one whose brain has to do a thing.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, so the scene I'd like to see is we're all on a camping trip.
Adol Refai
Sure.
Aaron Keefe
In Adol. We've woken up and you're in the middle of the lake straddling an oar and you're trying to explain yourself to jpt.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
The hell is going on out here?
JPC

There's like a prison escape.
Adol Refai
This is Wide Birth. He's naked out there. He's naked in Adel. I. I got horny. It's so cold.
Aaron Keefe
We said we'd stop using that as an excuse for our behavior. We. We're all trying to be accountable.
JPC

Adol Refai
You know, those are.
Aaron Keefe

Aaron Keefe
What went wrong?
JPC
Listen, I woke up. Well, I've been up for a while.
Adol Refai
Where are your clothes?
JPC
They're in the water on a fish. I made a deal. I made a trade. This.
Adol Refai

JPC
I happen to wander out to the lake. A fish popped its head out and said, I will grant you one wish.
Adol Refai

Aaron Keefe
If he remembers the Rube Goldberg machine. Ok, go video. Ask him.
Adol Refai
How would he forget? You think somebody watched one ok, go video. And said enough of their antics.
Aaron Keefe
I think some of them are not top of mind. Ask him.
JPC
Wait, why is it that I can remember their videos but none of their songs?
Aaron Keefe
You don't remember when the morning comes Ask Catalphia members. There ain't much dumber Ain't much dumber than trying to forget a girl when you love her and I I still need you. Ask him if he knows that one.
Adol Refai
How? Because I don't know that one. And I wasn't listening well enough to be able to repeat the song.
Aaron Keefe
Repeat after me. Mom, what's all this noise?
JPC
I'm gonna get out of the tent.
Adol Refai
No, don't worry. It's just the Muppets bored and horny out there.
JPC
Hey, hey, bored. Hey, horny.
Aaron Keefe
We are going to go on a very, very quick break.
Adol Refai
The briefest of breaks.
Aaron Keefe
The briefest of breaks. And then I'll tell you about a classic Aaron mix up when we get back from the break.
Adol Refai
Excuse me, are you Aaron Keefe?
Aaron Keefe
I am. Who's asking?
Adol Refai
I have a food delivery for you. It's unhealthy, thawed out patties dripping with grease. And I know you're on a tight schedule, but These will take 40 minutes to cook.
Aaron Keefe
I know who this is. You're the middler. Rips off mustache.
JPC
Ooh, that's a real mustache.
Adol Refai
It's.
Aaron Keefe
I know I wanted to hurt the middler.
Adol Refai
I had a mustache last time.
Aaron Keefe
I don't need your icky icky food because I'm using Tempo. Tempo is a weekly delivery service that delivers chef crafted meals from a dietitian approved menu. Fresh to your door.

Adol Refai
First of all, I told Steve to wear costumes. He's just wearing his T shirt that says Steve. Which by the way, Steve, we have to talk about costume. The uniforms because the middler's wearing his. How would I Describe this midfit. His midfit. This is why, Steve. This is why we're such a good pair. Speaking of good pears, Aaron, would you like to have some of these good pears that I pulled off of a pear tree? Or would you rather have Tempo's perfectly portioned lunches and dinners that take the guesswork out of eating well, are fully prepared and can be heated in the microwave in just three minutes? Do not heat these pears in the microwave or do.

Aaron Keefe

Adol Refai

Aaron Keefe

Aaron Keefe
Mm mm.
Adol Refai
What a classic. Aaron mix up insane.
Aaron Keefe
Speaking of Aaron mix ups, I was putting some stuff away, reorganizing my house and I knocked down my entire little shelf of riddle books that were organized by person who gave them to me. So fun fact, I don't know who gave me this book. I think it might be Molly. San Francisco Molly. Okay, but I'm not 100% sure. So if you gave me this book and it wasn't Molly, please reach out to me and I'd like to give you credit. I'm so sorry.
Adol Refai
This sucks because Molly has her own theme. I know, but we can't in good conscience play that theme if this wasn't Molly's book.
Aaron Keefe
I know. This is what I mean. This is a huge controversy. I don't know what to do.
Adol Refai
This is a deliberate. And I ran into Molly in San Francisco and Molly was like, I gave Aaron another book and I'm excited to hear my theme again.
JPC
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, so what if we just played the theme and it's not connected to this at all.
Adol Refai
I would rather die than give credit where credit is not deserved.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, Adol, what do you think we should do?
JPC
I think we should maybe hum the theme. That way if it was Molly. Box ticked. And if it wasn't, we just happen to be humming a song.
Aaron Keefe
What if we all sing it at the same time? Because I'm sure we all remember how it goes, right?
Adol Refai
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
One, two, three.
Adol Refai
Everybody rock your Molly.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Okay, guys, we sort of got distracted. Backstreet boys. Okay, these are all mad scientist riddles.
JPC
Ooh, all of them.
Aaron Keefe
They're all about science.
JPC
Aaron. No, never mind. It's dumb.
Aaron Keefe
Adel, what is it?
Adol Refai
Can you Google do scientists fart?
Aaron Keefe
It says most scientists don't fart. Kyle.
JPC
What? Aaron, before you read each of these, could you say I was working in a lab?
Aaron Keefe
Let's see, am I being paid enough for that? Yes.
Adol Refai
Turns out yes. If she said no, I'd be like, what does she think? She's like.
Aaron Keefe
How did Mary's little lamb get to Mars?
JPC
Wow. This is a mad scientist question.
Aaron Keefe
No, they're all science riddles. Some of them are mad scientist specific.
JPC
Oh, so this has to do with science. So we have to be.
Adol Refai
Mary had a little lamb whose fleece was white as snow. Right. So that's gotta be important.
Aaron Keefe
No, no.
JPC
Mary had a little lamb.
Adol Refai
Was there any other defining.
Aaron Keefe
What's another way of saying about Mary's lamb? This is like a joke riddle.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Oh, yo. Oh. Oh, yeah. How did Mary's little lamb get to Mars? Is a joke riddle.
Aaron Keefe
How would you get to anywhere?
JPC
In practice.
Aaron Keefe
No, no, no.
Adol Refai
Ship.
JPC
Yeah, practice.
Aaron Keefe
But what kind of a spaceship? What's another way of saying that? How like a little kid would say rocket. Yeah.
Adol Refai
A rocket. Ship.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. But then replace one of the words Lamb.
Adol Refai
Ship. No, a rocket. Lamb.
JPC
Rocket. Shank.
Aaron Keefe
Rocket.
Adol Refai
Crook.
Aaron Keefe
What's another way of saying lamb? Basically, lamb.
JPC
Sheep. Rocket sheep. It's a walket. Sheep.
Aaron Keefe
Yes. Wow.
JPC
I hate and love this.
Adol Refai
I do.
Aaron Keefe
I would like to see. Oh, no, go ahead, go ahead.
Adol Refai
So you are going to be two NASA scientists and you are going to be explaining to me I'm going to be like the astronaut that's going on this mission that due to budget cuts, you have to build the rocket out of wool.
Aaron Keefe
Great. Dr. Anderson, thank you so much for taking the time to come in here and sort of run through some logistics with us.
Adol Refai
Absolutely. I'm excited to get back up to a place that I kind of consider my second. Second home.
Aaron Keefe
Wow, that's awesome. And how's second home training going this time around. Feeling good, feeling ready, feeling good.
Adol Refai
I love the crew. The other two people that we've got going up to space are consummate professionals. Top of their scientific fields, physical peak performance athletes. Wow. We're ready to get back up into that place I like to call my home away from home.
Aaron Keefe
We do have some news. You are going alone this time?
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Oh, okay. I'll break it to the other astronauts. They won't take it well, but I guess I understand.
JPC
Yeah. We also can't. A lot of the materials that we usually use, they burn up in the atmosphere or they're lost in the ocean once the ship returns. And it's just getting very expensive. So we have to kind of pivot in terms of the materials we're using for your ship.
Aaron Keefe
Right. And we can afford to send you there, but we can't afford to get you back.
Adol Refai
Wait, now hold on.
JPC
We're assuming you can hitch a ride from.
Adol Refai
I was okay with the thing that this gentleman was saying, but.
Aaron Keefe
Right.
Adol Refai
You want me to take a one way death mission into space alone?
Aaron Keefe
Your words. Your words, not ours. Well, here's the. Okay, I'll level with you. We have $750 to get you there, right?
Adol Refai
Nope.
Aaron Keefe
But.
Adol Refai
Nope.
Aaron Keefe
But we did say this year we were going to do a team dinner where we sort of pick a nice place and go out to dinner. So that's going to cut into the.
Adol Refai
Seven that's coming out of the same budget line item.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Yes.
Adol Refai
So build a spaceship and team dinner.
JPC
Buca di Beppo tomorrow at 5. We have a 599.
Aaron Keefe
And then that.
Adol Refai
Says keep it open.
Aaron Keefe
But you won't be there because you'll be in space.
JPC
You'll be in space.
Adol Refai
I'm going to space today.
Aaron Keefe
Yep.
JPC
Yes. And here's what. We've sort of bouncing the budget, crunching the numbers. We've come up with a few items.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
We can make your ship out of straw bricks.
Adol Refai
No.
JPC
Feathers.
Adol Refai
No. Or wool.
Aaron Keefe
Sticks or wool. And we have a wolf coming in and sort of blowing at it to do those sort of tests. I feel like you seem mad. Are you mad?
Adol Refai
I'm a little mad, yeah. I'm a little mad. I thought NASA was. I thought NASA was getting serious here.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Oh yeah. Yes.
JPC
We were being so serious to build.
Adol Refai
A one way spaceship out of sticks. And I don't even get to eat breadsticks at Buca di Beppo.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. We can't afford to send you up there with food. So I'd say have a big meal before you go. Sort of like pasta dinner with protein.
Adol Refai
Well, I want to do that. I want to go to Buca di Bepo in a family style.
JPC
No, we all want to go to Buca di Beppo, but some of us have higher callings. You just said this was your home away from home.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Your second home.
JPC
So you probably have food up there somewhere, right?
Adol Refai
Well, it's kind of like a timeshare where it's like, I don't really keep anything stocked.
JPC
Yeah, Yeah.
Adol Refai
I mean, it's a vacation house. If you keep food in the vacation house, you're only there three weeks a year. I mean, it's like, oh, boy, bugs. You know what I'm saying?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, also, we've been using your space helmet as a basketball hoop. So if you had one at home.
Adol Refai
Or like, how would that even work?
Aaron Keefe
We cut a hole in the.
Adol Refai
You'd have to cut a hole in the. Yep. You cut a hole in the.
JPC
Cut a big hole.
Adol Refai
That's the way. Cut a hole in it.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
That man will die.
Adol Refai
Yeah. He'll die in space.
Aaron Keefe
What travels.
Adol Refai
You know what? He won't make it to space. I'll say that.
Aaron Keefe
Well, not with that attitude. What travels around the earth all year without using a drop of fuel?
Adol Refai
Harlem Globetrotters.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Yeah. How are globetrotters famously get called for traveling? Never.
Adol Refai
I don't know. Do they get called? Maybe they never even make the call. What calls around the world? Wait, what is it?
JPC
What travels around the world without using any gas?
Aaron Keefe
Without using drops of fuel?
JPC
Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
Yep.
JPC
Oh, my God.
Aaron Keefe
What?
JPC
What travels around the world without using gas?
Aaron Keefe
A shark.
Adol Refai
Sharks.
JPC
Sharks go all around the ocean.
Aaron Keefe
Sharks don't fart. Except for one.
Adol Refai
That sounds like the. The beginning to, like, a Mr. Ed style, like, theme of like, the Amazing Farty Shark.
JPC
Shark is a shark. Of course. Of course.
Aaron Keefe
The Amazing Farty Shark. I'm Farty shark. I hope I get a promotion at work. I hope I don't fart. I miss real comedies.
Adol Refai
I wish comedy, when it was pure good. Travels around the world by using a drop of fuel.
JPC
Is it a stamp?
Aaron Keefe
Travels around the earth all year without using a drop of fuel. This one is a good riddle.
Adol Refai
I think stamp is a good one.
Aaron Keefe
Is it like, remember what our topic was a minute ago?
JPC
What was scientists?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. But specifically the sheep one.
JPC
What?
Aaron Keefe
The theming of that one.
JPC
Oh, space.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Oh, Is it like the moon or the sun?
Aaron Keefe
The moon.
Adol Refai
The moon.
Aaron Keefe
I would like to see a scene adol you are the Earth. And jpc, you're the moon. And you've been traveling for a really long time and you're finally working up the courage to ask the Earth for some gas money to split fuel costs.
JPC
Keep on rocking in the free world.
Adol Refai
And time. Okay. Whoa. Another complete rotation. Pretty. Pretty cool.
JPC
Hell yeah. Mark it on the board, baby.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Gonna start. Start up the next one. Hey, how's it going down there?
JPC
It's going great.
Adol Refai
How are you doing, man? I'm good. Yeah. Just doing, Doing. Doing what you told me, man. Just keep, Keep circling around.
JPC
Yeah. I appreciate it, man. It's making me feel not. I don't feel as dumb. Like, if I was just spinning on my own.
Adol Refai
Sure.
JPC
But since you're here with me, brother, I appreciate it.
Adol Refai
Yeah. And I'm doing my thing on the oceans, too. I know. You said you. Oh, you said you like that. Yeah.
JPC
Yeah. Give the ocean a little tug.
Adol Refai
Do my moon tug.
JPC
Yeah, Punch it in.
Adol Refai
Oh, you know what, dude?
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Crazy, though. It's already my sister 30th. No, no, I wouldn't. Yeah, he told me to. Yeah, he said Venus is off limits. It's already the 30th, my man. I could. I know you said. I couldn't remember if we agreed on, like, biannually or was it monthly for the.
JPC
For the paycheck, leap year?
Adol Refai
No, I was trying to think about, like. Yeah, but, like, I've been up here for a minute and I'm like, have I been paid? Or like, should I even, like, bring it up? Or like, have I. Have we talked about this? Or like.
JPC
Yeah, I mean. Oh, I get money makes me super uncomfortable. Especially when it comes to me having to pay it. Say, like, I went out to eat with Saturn the other. The other day and it just felt. Oh, for real. Oh, sorry. And I didn't. I just thought you had something, right.
Adol Refai
No, I came because I have to, but. No. Yeah, sorry. I think I must have been on, like, the dark side or something because, like, I got. I had, like, no reception that whole dinner. Oh.
JPC
Yeah. But it was a thing of like, you know, I. I ate well, and then the check comes, and then Saturn's like, well, you had this. And I'm like, what are we doing? Let's just, just. Let's just split the bill. And Saturn's like, all I got was ice water and an appetizer. And I'm like, yeah, just. It's so much easier to just split the bill.
Adol Refai
But, like, I feel like it's, like, different because like, you and Saturn are like equals. Like, you're, like, at the same level. And, like.
JPC
Oh, yeah.
Adol Refai
I, like, definitely, like, work for you. Like, it's definitely a relationship in which I am, like. I don't want to say employee because I know I get 1099s, and so I know that just kind of makes me, like, a contractor for you. And I. Even though I work, you know, 24 7, I'm always up here kind of going around and.
JPC
I told you you could take a break if you want.
Aaron Keefe
Listen, guys, I'm collecting money to buy the son a birthday gift. Do you guys want to contribute or.
Adol Refai
Damn, it's that time of year already. Son's birthday.
JPC
I don't have any cash on me.
Aaron Keefe
Probably cover you, right?
JPC
Yeah, you got me.
Adol Refai
Truly, I'm, like, so cash poor right now. It's like, I don't even have, like.
Aaron Keefe
Resources you can put on credit, though, right?
Adol Refai
Yeah, I guess I gotta have to do it. I guess I gotta have to put in more credit. Thanks, man.
Aaron Keefe
I mean, the sun is what gives you your light, I feel like.
Adol Refai
Yeah, it's not really doing much for me just because I don't have, like, atmosphere or whatever. I'm not really capturing any of that. That's cool. Yeah, it's chill. Hey, could I get light on the dark side as well? If that's. If the sun's giving out light. If I could get someone the dark.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, man, that's. That's really. That's not good to ask. We're friends here, man, but you can't be taking advantage of your friends like that.
Adol Refai
Yeah, not till the ass. And real quick, who are you?
JPC
Yeah, what's your. Oh, you got a nice celestial body.
Aaron Keefe
Jupiter.
Adol Refai
Wait, no.
JPC

Adol Refai
Okay, okay. Put her baby in like, a bassinet.
JPC
Okay. So mobile.
Adol Refai
Rock them to sleep.
JPC
Oh, mobile.
Aaron Keefe
Nope.
JPC
Rock moon. Rock them to sleep. You rock them to sheep.
Aaron Keefe
It's not a great way to describe a human baby.
Adol Refai
Is the answer that you rock them to sheep?
Aaron Keefe
No, it's. You rock it to sleep. You rock it.
Adol Refai
You rock it.
Aaron Keefe
Wow.
JPC
Rocket baby.

What's the name of a person that goes into space?
Adol Refai
Astronaut. Astronauts.
Aaron Keefe
Yep.
Adol Refai
Someone who's astronauts.
Aaron Keefe
What?
JPC
That sounds like a. That sounds like if someone's. What's the thing? Remember when they used to have commercials for Space Camp on, like, Nickelodeon?
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah, for sure.
JPC
It's like if. If you won a piece of the Aggro Crag, you'd go to Space Camp.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
You know the thing that, like, spins you. The gyroscope or something.
Adol Refai
Oh, the. The. The zero g, like, thing.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
It's like every kid went to riding that. That feels like if someone got out of that and barfed. And then another kid at Space Camp was like, you suck on these astronauts. Like, astronauts feels like a childish insult to me.
Adol Refai
It was like, this is what the flight attendants on the space station spacecraft, the rocket. This is what they offer you. They're like astronauts or astropressels.
JPC
Some people are allergic to Astroplast.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, what if we did a review crew of three weeks at Space Camp?
Adol Refai
I was on an airplane recently, and, yeah, we should go to Space Camp as adults. Do you think they let us do that? But they were handing out nuts on airplanes, and I was like, I thought that they stopped doing this, but I.
JPC
Guess sometimes I thought they did, too. Yeah, I Thought they switched to pretzels.
Adol Refai
It was strange. It was like tree nuts. Like almonds and cashews and stuff. And I was like, this is interesting.
Aaron Keefe
You witnessed an assassination attempt, I think is what happened. What do you call an astronaut who's afraid of height?
Adol Refai
Coward.
JPC
Not going to space.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, failure. That's the answer.
Adol Refai
Is it a failure?
Aaron Keefe
Your joke was real.
JPC
Well, here's the thing.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
And I don't know. As I'm talking, I don't know if this is right. When you go into space, you're not necessarily going up. I guess to get out of the atmosphere, you have to go up.
Aaron Keefe
There is no up.
JPC
But it could be down.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Because space is all directions.
Adol Refai
Well, yeah, but you gotta go. You have to. You can't go down to leave Earth. You know what I'm saying? That'll get you right. That gets you deeper.
Aaron Keefe
Well, if you.
Adol Refai
You gotta go up a little bit.
Aaron Keefe
I know, but, like, up could be like, we just decided that the North Pole was the North Pole. Yeah, but up could actually be the South Pole.
JPC
Directions have no meaning in space, jpc.
Adol Refai
I just. Yeah, but you're on Earth. Would you start when you get to space? You could be. You could be a philosopher. You could say, hey, there is no up. But before you get there, you kind of. Up is really the way to get to space.
JPC
I don't know.
Aaron Keefe
I don't know about all that. I think you sound pretty astro nuts.
Adol Refai
You think a guy who's year two of space madness seems astra nuts. Aaron. Oh, I can't wait for this episode to come out. They're gonna come for you so hard. You just called someone with space madness astra nuts.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
Whoa. Neil DeGrasse Tyson just pushed Aaron down a flight of stairs.
Aaron Keefe
God, again. This is a pattern. This is a pattern.
Adol Refai
This is a pattern. First as farce, then as tragedy.
Aaron Keefe
Which is lighter, the sun or the earth? And this is not literal.
Adol Refai
Hey, I wanted to go back to that for a second, though, because, you know, if you're an astronaut and you're afraid of heights, I feel like that's probably, you know, probably maybe a little bit disqualifying. It's probably hard to do. But I also used to think that. Again, I'm gonna be talking about how I was on an airplane recently. I thought, like, pilots. One of the things for being a pilot was that you had to have, like, perfect vision. Maybe that's only, like, in the military.
Aaron Keefe
Have they lowered their standards.
Adol Refai
I got off a plane and both of the pilots had glasses. On. I was like, what the fuck is going on here? Are these, like. And I know aviators, you know, obviously pilots could wear sunglasses. That's cool as shit. But these were, like, glasses. Glasses. Now, I don't know, maybe they didn't have any lenses in them. Maybe they were just for the look. These were just, like, fashion glasses, like they do in a movie. But is that something I made up? Are pilots allowed to have glasses?
Aaron Keefe
I know it was true in the military. And they can't be colorblind.
JPC
Yes. That's the two things I've heard about pilots, is they have to have perfect vision and they can't be colorblind. But I thought that was all pilots, not just military.
Adol Refai
I thought it was all pilots, too. And maybe these were like. I don't know. I couldn't tell you what it was. I only saw it when the plane was already landed. And I was like, well, it's too late for me to file a report. Yeah, they should let you look the pilot in the eyes before you get on the plane, just to make sure. Hold one of those little charts.
Aaron Keefe
It is so interesting. I'm dating someone who has perfect vision. And I'm like, wow, you really?
Adol Refai
Most people have that?
Aaron Keefe
No, but it's. But I've never done that. Every other person I've dated has been basically as blind as I am. I have really bad vision.
Adol Refai
Whoa.
Aaron Keefe
And it's a difference in how you move through the world. I think it changes a lot of your personality.
Adol Refai
Aaron, do you want to hear something?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
I've got perfect vision.
Aaron Keefe
No, you don't.
Adol Refai
2020, baby.
Aaron Keefe
I've seen you wear glasses.
JPC
It's 2025.
Adol Refai
Oh. I sometimes have, like. They're not prescription. They're like blue blockers, like, for if you stare at your screens. When I used to work in an office and I would stare at a screen all day, I wore, like, the blue light glasses or whatever. But that's only because.
Aaron Keefe
I'm sorry. You have perfect vision.
Adol Refai
Perfect vision. I will say. It don't last forever. Every time I go to the optometrist or whatever, they're like, okay, it's technically 2020, but, you know. You're getting old.
JPC
Aaron. Can I blow your mind?
Aaron Keefe
What?
JPC
JVC has perfect vision. I have perfect pitch.
Aaron Keefe
I have perfect pigeon. I have a perfect pigeon.
Adol Refai
I think. Perfect pigeon, Aaron.
JPC
He's a good boy.
Adol Refai
Aaron, I have the perfect pigeon for you. Oh, I know you're not looking. I know you're not looking.
Aaron Keefe
Who said I'm not looking For A pigeon squabble up. Which is lighter, the sun or the Earth? This will be our last one.
Adol Refai
Okay. Which is?
JPC
Well, the Earth is lighter because the sun shines on it. Is that the answer? Something like that. Oh, fuck you.
Aaron Keefe
It's kind of a joke. Yeah, fuck you, too.
Adol Refai
Out of the way.
Aaron Keefe
No. I'll be able to grab Titan's face and push you down the stairs.
Adol Refai
Hey, this is the lake in the tent all over again. I'm not gonna be in the middle of one of these fights.
Aaron Keefe
Ask Adam if he can go fuck himself. Ask him.
JPC
You got Neil DeGrasse, Mike Tyson. And he punched me so hard.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, well, I've done on purpose, so fuck you. Hey, the sun. The answer is the sun. Because it rises every morning. Are you happy now? Are you happy now, boys?
JPC
But the sun doesn't rise. The Earth.
Aaron Keefe
Has an emulator. What kind of bath does the mad scientist take without water?
JPC
Space bath.
Adol Refai
Space bath, Aaron?
JPC
Oh, a meteor shower.
Adol Refai
Oh, my God.
Aaron Keefe
That's a way better answer.
Adol Refai
Oh, that's not the answer.
Aaron Keefe
And then the next riddle is, what does an astronaut do when he gets dirty? He takes a meteor shower.
Adol Refai
Okay, okay, so there is a riddle where meteor shower is the answer, but this one is about a bath.
Aaron Keefe
What kind of bath does the mad scientist take without water?
Adol Refai
Okay, and I want to talk to you for a second here, Adol.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Meteor shower is a really bad answer to what kind of bath? I mean, we have to admit that.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
A shower is not a bath. You know this.
JPC
I really fucked myself. I know this. A shower's not a bath.
Adol Refai
I mean, you know, a shower is not a bath.
JPC
Washing your hands is not a shower. We've.
Adol Refai
Hold on. Let's not get crazy, Aaron. You hear this?
Aaron Keefe
These are the animals that fart the most. Cows, termites, cockroaches, horses, elephants and rhinos.
JPC
What was the first one?
Aaron Keefe
Adults. Cows.
JPC
Oh, no.
Aaron Keefe
Seals, zebras, baboons, lions, bats and rats. And that's. Those are just my exes.
JPC
These are the animals that fart the most. Fart the most?
Aaron Keefe
Fart the most.
JPC
When I bet $10,000 that sharks do fart, I took a real bath on that, Is the answer. Something like somebody taking a bath on something.
Aaron Keefe
It's a sun bath.
JPC
Oh.
Aaron Keefe
What's an astronaut's favorite meal?
Adol Refai
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Aaron Keefe
We're just doing.
Adol Refai
Do I not understand that one? What does that mean?
JPC
Sunbathing. But they're using the present tense. Sunbathing.
Adol Refai
Does anyone even call it sunbathing anymore? I guess so.
Aaron Keefe
What's an astronaut's favorite meal.
Adol Refai
Chicken.
JPC
Astronaut ice cream or Tang, I guess.
Adol Refai
Well, it could be both because Tang is a drink and astronaut ice cream is an entree.
Aaron Keefe
Astronaut.
JPC
Yes, Aaron. It's an astronaut who asks questions. They don't pretend to be a know it all. Not like when you went to space and said, mission control said, aaron, do you know how to fire the rockets? And you go, yeah, I got it.
Aaron Keefe
Go. How did you get this number? You're obsessed with me. Leave me alone.
JPC
I do want to see a scene.
Adol Refai
All the astronauts in a briefing, and, like, Aaron keeps asking questions, and I'm like, well, check out the astronaut over here.
JPC
I do want to see a scene. Aaron, you are someone who. It's almost like a catch me if you can situation where you've just. Just bullshitted your way into becoming an astronaut. You're about to. You're at the control panel in the ship that's about to head into space. Jpc. You are sort of Houston or control tower. They have control towers for spaceships. Right? And you are sort of talking Aaron through the. The blast off. But Aaron thinks she has it when she does it.
Adol Refai
Okay, I'm just going to count us back down from.
Aaron Keefe
Sorry, Sorry. Just give me a second. I'm watching a YouTube. YouTube tutorial and how to get to space. I can't, like, listen to two things at once.
Adol Refai
Wait, why would you watch. Wait, hold on. Why would you watch?
Aaron Keefe

Adol Refai
You shouldn't be getting WI fi in here. Okay, let's shouldn't be getting WI fi in here at all. You're the navigator.

Adol Refai
They buckled the seat belts when they put us in here.
Aaron Keefe
We can't. I'm just telling you what the YouTube video says.

That was from Becca's parody of hey, Soul Sister. I think I told you this, that I sang hey, Soul sister wants to help someone propose to their girlfriend in Indianapolis. No. They said yes. It was, but a friend of mine was like, hey, everyone's doing this. Do you want to do this? And I was like, I guess so. I didn't even know the song. And then years later, I was on an improv team with the woman who got proposed to, and I was like, I was at your proposal. We had never met before.
Aaron Keefe
That's so funny.
Adol Refai
Yeah.

Adol Refai
An important question for you. I currently have two hey Riddle Riddle tattoos. One is a sad puzzbot, the other is a rainbow Hrr with a banner that says Chaos in front of it. And I was wondering, since we're Almost at episode 300, what should my third.
JPC
Hey riddle riddle tattoo be?
Adol Refai
I have a lot of leg space left to cover. Thanks. Bye.
JPC
Whoa.
Adol Refai
Let's just pretend like this one isn't, like a year old either. Let's just.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Oh, my God.
JPC
That's amazing that you got two hey Riddle tattoos already. That's incredible. I think maybe the third one should be a. I want to say a farting shark.
Aaron Keefe
Is that so crazy? Whatever.
Adol Refai
Some of that's astro nuts.
Aaron Keefe
You could get little monkey bones. You could get Dr. Chameleon. You could get JP Riddles and a raccoon playing cards, but cards or condoms or something.
JPC
Maybe down your leg it says, what's the big idea?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, maybe your leg says the tuna 15 with a little Tuna. Yeah, maybe I would get a teacher's lounge podcast. Check out Teachers lounge. They say really funny over there. They're always up there.
Adol Refai
Get one that says the lunatic in the lighthouse from the teacher's lounge.
JPC
Teaching chong. Teachin Chong.
Aaron Keefe
I didn't know anyone had a hay Riddle Riddle tattoo. I knew that. Oh, yeah, people had tattoos from our time on Dungeons and Daddies. The. What is it called?
Adol Refai
Wrist or whatever.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I've seen those tattoos. I didn't know anyone else. I know Adol, you have my favorite Oretto tattoo.
JPC
I have one, I think Aaron Keefe. I think it was Aaron Keef. Had a thing that was J.J. made of hay. Couldn't go to the bonfire, so I thought that was the best thing. And I got that tattooed, I think.
Adol Refai
You know, get the tattoo that speaks to you. If you've got a favorite moment, I mean, that's the one. Because it's all gonna be inscrutable to anyone else. No one's ever gonna know what Puzzbot is. So it's like, you know, do the thing that makes you happy. And I believe they said that their name was Spider. So if you're running out of leg space for this tattoo, we got seven more legs.
Aaron Keefe
You know, now I know why JPC pulled this voicemail. You wanted to make that joke. I wanted to plug.
JPC
I want to plug getting a hey, Riddle Riddle tattoo. Do it. Life is short. Ruin your skin with our podcast.
Adol Refai
Life is short. Ruin. It should be our tagline.
JPC
And of course I'm joking, because I myself have a hater. Roll tattoo. I want to plug our Patreon, which I think has some delightful content, so check out patreon.com heyriddle riddle. We have a lot of content you can catch up on, and we have new stuff every week, so check that out. Aaron, do you have anything to plug or promote?
Aaron Keefe
Follow Quality Time on Instagram. It's a monthly show I host in Los Angeles, if you're interested in that sort of thing. Also, there's a show in LA that is on Thursdays called the Mandatory Improv show, and it's hosted by Chicago people, and a lot of the times, a lot of Chicago people playing.

Come check it out. Come say hi. It's a lot of fun.
Adol Refai
I know Aaron met improvisers, but I just like saw like. Yeah, Blagojevich and Rahm Emanuel. They were doing a two.
Aaron Keefe

Adol Refai
Yeah, yeah, let's read a review. If you want to submit a review, just submit it anywhere you submit. 5 star reviews. If you make it 5 stars, I might read it on the podcast. This one's called three Things. This is really a review for the Clue Crew Patreon, but I'm doing it here this summer. I had a bit of a minty bee and could only listen to three things without crying for two weeks. All I listened to were the following three things. The White Wet Waters episode of the Patreon, JBC's guided meditation and Dracula by Rob Zombie, played at a volume unfit for human consumption. All this to say buy the Guided Meditation pack. You won't regret it. Ellen from Hingham. We had the same fourth grade teacher. Hey, Ellen. No, we didn't. I didn't go to school at Hingham. I don't even fucking know you.
Aaron Keefe
My fourth grade teacher was the same as my third grade teacher because I was in multi age, so there were third and fourth graders in my class.
Adol Refai
You got held back.
Aaron Keefe
Oh boy.
Adol Refai
You got held back and you're just now realizing it also.
Aaron Keefe
I wonder how they know.
JPC
Yeah. And Aaron, guess what? You're still being held back by via jpc.
Aaron Keefe
That feels right. That feels right.
JPC
Wait a minute.
Adol Refai
Surround your income.
JPC
That's crazy.
Aaron Keefe
That we went to the same elementary school. That's nutso. Does that mean we live in the same neighborhood? That's crazy.
Adol Refai
Aaron. We didn't. I don't even know you like that.
Aaron Keefe
All right, whatever. Jupiter, goodbye.
