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 seemed right.
Adol Refai
Hey, Aaron. Jpz. Just have a seat. It was just a regular episode today.
Aaron Keenan
Suspicious.
JPC
Yeah, no, this is very suspicious. Did you mean it to be suspicious?
Adol Refai
No, no, no, no. Not at all.
JPC
Why are your eyes doing that?
Adol Refai
Oh, because I just had Lasik and it was done by. It was done by a bird. So is the doctor.
Aaron Keenan
I got Lasik done by a bird too. Adol, How'd it go? Okay, but I can't see. Still interesting.
JPC
Okay, how we've all had Lasik done by a bird. We can't afford regular Lasik.
Adol Refai
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Aaron Keenan
We're resetting jbc, and I have a great attitude. We're not suspicious of you. We're sitting down. We're ready to record. Hey, Riddle, Riddle.
Adol Refai

JPC
What is going on? Okay, hold on. Aaron, Aaron, huddle. Huddle up.
Aaron Keenan
Okay. What's up?
JPC
Forehead to forehead.
Aaron Keenan
Okay.
JPC
It's April 2nd.
Aaron Keenan
You smell so much gasoline.
JPC
Oh, me? Yeah, yeah. I'm doing. Have you heard of cold showers?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, of course.
JPC
What's colder than gasoline?
Aaron Keenan
Let's stay on topic. Let's stay focus. I don't have time for this.
JPC
It's April 2nd. It's April 2nd. He couldn't possibly be doing. He couldn't possibly be doing, like, a prank, like, an April. Because it's like, you really only do it on the day, right?
Adol Refai
Guys, hurry up. Dax Shepard is coming on the episode.
Aaron Keenan
That's. Okay, so this is confusing. And I can see where his thought process started with this, because he was on that prank show with Ashton Kutcher. Punk'd, Right? Except for he was on Punk.
JPC
That's crazy to think about.
Aaron Keenan
Now he's. We know who he is, right?
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
So if he were to come and punk us and also Adol announcing that it's him.
JPC
Hey.
Adol Refai
Puts forehead in the mix. Hey, what are we doing?
Aaron Keenan
Oh, Adol, you smell so much like gasoline.
Adol Refai
Oh, thank you. It's a new cologne.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, great.
Adol Refai
It's called On Fire.
Aaron Keenan
Well, lovely. We were just discussing the probability of you sort of feeling like you missed out on an April 1st prank for us. And if you're trying to do a sneaky little April 2 prank.
Adol Refai
Missed out on. What are you talking about? This episode comes out April 1st.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, okay, so now we know.
JPC
Is that. Well, so is that. Is that the prank?
Adol Refai
I mean, April 1st, 3048, thumbs up. Let's get to it.
JPC
Is he hitching a ride? What's going on?
Aaron Keenan
Hey, Adel, your eyes have clearly been pecked at by a bird.
Adol Refai
Yeah, yeah, I made a mist. Hey, let me drop the April 1st shit. I put bread in my eyes this morning. I was told that would help with the bags under my eyes. Birds went straight for it when I went out the door.
JPC
Yeah, that'll happen every time.
Adol Refai
Don't put brow in your eyes. It's a lie.
Aaron Keenan
Adel, this seems exhausting. You can be honest. Is this exhausting?
Adol Refai
No, it's. Yeah. Yeah, it is.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, let's just do a regular episode.
Adol Refai
That would. Oh, my God. That would be.
JPC
We don't need to have Dax Shepard to have a good time.
Adol Refai
Okay, that was the one.
Aaron Keenan
Dax Shepard's at the door.
Adol Refai
That wasn't a prank.
Aaron Keenan
Actually, Dax. Becky runs that way.
Adol Refai
No, don't.
JPC
Dax, come back.
Adol Refai
No. Dalexander. I assume that's what Dax is short for.
JPC
Oh, Dalexander.
Aaron Keenan
Dalexander.
JPC
Yeah, Dalexander.
Aaron Keenan
Well, either way, we hurt his feelings.
JPC
A l A. Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
Hi, everybody. This is. Hey, Riddle, Riddle. This is your first episode and your spouse is showing you this one on a road trip. Whoa. Sorry.
JPC
Whoa. Happy April Fools, you idiots. You absolute goddamn fools, you. What did we call them? We have so many names for our listeners.
Aaron Keenan
Lizards.
JPC
All of them.
Adol Refai
Future lizards.
JPC
That's right.
Aaron Keenan
Kevin's and Susies.
Adol Refai
Yes, yes, yes. Koozies and sevens, I believe.
JPC
What else?
Adol Refai
What else?
JPC
Oh, this is Armchair Expert Today we have on the podcast is that Dax Shepard's podcast is an armchair expert.
Aaron Keenan
Tis.
Adol Refai
You better believe it.
JPC
I think I talked to somebody once who worked on that show. I've never listened to it.
Aaron Keenan
The Anna Kendrick of that. The Anna Kendrick episode of that show is one of the best episodes of a podcast. I think it kind of changed my life.
Adol Refai
What?
Aaron Keenan
And I wasn't. I had no kind of opinion about Anna Kendrick or Dax Shepard before I listened to it. And it is incredibly moving and helpful.
JPC
Wow, Great.
Adol Refai
I just saw our real time numbers. Everyone just stop this to go listen to our culture expert.
Aaron Keenan
You should.
JPC
Aaron, give me one highlight of that Anna Kendrick. Is it an interview? Is it an interview?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, it's in an interview. It is a little heavy, so I wouldn't call any of it a highlight. But I will say I think that it is one of their most listened to episodes because I think a lot of women who are in toxic Relationships or have been cheated on. Have found a lot of solace in that episode.
JPC
Damn.
Adol Refai
Oh, so it's funny.
Aaron Keenan
It's hysterical. Laugh every two seconds.
JPC
What if we did an episode of this podcast where we got Anna Kendrick to come on and we just, like, got into it? We just. We just, like. We're like, let's have a. Let's have an episode of Heroine of Rudolph where we just have a serious discussion.
Aaron Keenan
That would actually be fantastic. I'd be like, what was it like working on Twilight? Literally telling me everything. Everything. Everything.
Adol Refai
She feels like she. And obviously it's all Hollywood. Who knows these people? She seems like she has a good head on her shoulders. Like, she seems like she doesn't take herself too seriously. Aaron, what's a celebrity? And then jpc. Okay, What's a celebrity you think you're like, right now? Even though it might be slightly delusional, you think you could be friends with?
JPC
Hmm.
Aaron Keenan
I have to believe that John C. Reilly would like me.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
I like to think that Amy Poehler.
Adol Refai
Would like me still carrying water for John C. Reilly.
Aaron Keenan
Always.
JPC
My gut response to this adol.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
Is Rooney Mara. Because I would treat Rooney Mara like a regular person because I don't know what she looks like. So it would be a situation where, like, I would just be friends with Rooney Mara, and then, like, one day she'd be like, I'm Rooney Mara, and I'd be like, the actor, and she'd be like, yeah.
Aaron Keenan
Why did you not guess my name's Rooney?
JPC
I'd be like, I thought that was a nickname. Like, you know, like Shoobie or, like, you know, it's like, yeah, it's my. This is my boy Rooney.
Aaron Keenan
You know, I had no idea calling me Shooby.
Adol Refai
Shooby, Shooby.
JPC
That's, like, short for Beverly Shubadoo, though. Aaron.
Aaron Keenan
Is it?
JPC
I guess.
Aaron Keenan
Remember how I blew some kisses to your wife last night?
JPC
It's really a nickname on a nickname.
Adol Refai
Have you guys seen Rooney Tunes? It's bad. It is so bad. It's Rooney Mara, and she's kind of playing the character from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. But animated is dumb.
JPC
Adol. Who's yours? Who's your celebrity that you think you could be friends with?
Adol Refai
I'm going to say either Lele Sabowski. Is that her name?
JPC
Lili Sebowski from Lili and Stitch?
Adol Refai
Yeah. Cause she was a big name, and then she seemingly just kind of fell out of acting, so I feel like I could relate to her because I was never an actor of film.
JPC
This is a smart plan to get someone after they retire. Yes.
Adol Refai
And maybe I feel like the guy from Reacher, but not the one you're thinking of.
JPC
The guy who gets his legs folded and stuffs into a car.
Aaron Keenan
We're in our Reacher era of the podcast and I am not having fun because I don't know the difference between that and Jack Ryan.
JPC
Well, Aaron, here's the thing. When you go to the hospital and they show you your baby and they say, this is your baby. Congratulations. They shake your hand and they hand you a cigar. They usher you into another room, and in that room is seasons one, two and three of Reacher. And they say, this is now who you are. You are a dad. Dad's watch, Reacher. You know, enjoy it. And I'm kind of just embracing it.
Aaron Keenan
Is that why your baby's name is Jack Reacher?
JPC
You joke, but I did tell Mariah. I was like, mariah, if we have another kid, can I name the kid Jack Reacher? And she said yes.
Aaron Keenan
No, she didn't.
JPC
She did say yes.
Aaron Keenan
Beverly Sheepudden needs to swoop in and give her a real partner.
JPC
Cause think about this, Aaron. Jack Reacher Cohen would be jrc. That's pretty cool.
Aaron Keenan
That's actually Jack Reacher Cohen is a. Is a great name.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
And it doesn't have the context of the pop culture.
JPC
Think about this. I think Jack is a great, like just a great name. Jack. And if I name my. If we have another baby and I name that baby Jack Reacher Jr. For short. Junior Junior.
Adol Refai
Oh, Jack Jr. Two of the best movies of the 90s.
JPC
Exactly.
Aaron Keenan
Well, how's your first son, Jack Ryan, gonna feel about having a brother named Jack Reacher?
JPC
But what if Jack Reacher also turns out to be like 6, 6, you know, 280 pounds.
Adol Refai
You grow into the name you're given.
JPC
Then Junior as a nickname is also ironic and funny. Right?
Adol Refai
Yeah. Yep. It's like one of the guys named Tiny. We love that.
JPC
Really suck if we have a girl, though, because it's gotta be Jack Reacher. So I guess it's just like, you know, but whatever.
Aaron Keenan
He could be 6'six yeah.
Adol Refai
Jacqueline Reacher.
JPC
Yeah, Jacqueline. You know, but it's Jack. Like you can tell people it's Jacqueline, but I got diversified.
Aaron Keenan
There's a Chicago comedian whose name is Jacqueline and she goes by Jack.
JPC
Exactly. So Jacqueline's a coolest. So anyway, so Mariah doesn't want to have another kid, but, you know, I'm.
Adol Refai
Sorry about the divorce. And Aaron, congrats on the pregnancy.
Aaron Keenan
Thank you so much, Beverly. Shebadoo's pregnant with Mariah now.
JPC
We'll get you. We'll get you a Jack Reacher dvd.
Adol Refai
Aaron.
JPC
I can't wait for you to start. Hey, speaking of starting.
Aaron Keenan
No.
JPC
Should we start a fucking podcast?
Aaron Keenan
Jpc, are you feeling a little threatened by Beverly shubadu? Maybe like 0.001%. Is there, like, a little part of your brain?
JPC
I'll be honest, Aaron. I'm pretty secure. I'm pretty secure in what I kind of got going on. Because you don't know this, but if you would read some of my emails, you know, about how my dick game's on point. So.
Aaron Keenan
Any email that you sent me with the subject line being dick game on point, I immediately moved to the tr.
Adol Refai
I kind of want to make this episode, you know, Aaron, what we did for you with the ugly sweater. I kind of want to make this episode the dick game on point episode.
JPC
Aaron.
Aaron Keenan
Do it, Adel. You won't do it at all.
JPC
Aaron, that's so mean of you to do those emails take me so long. Cause it's hard to, like, type up conceptually, like, what I'm doing into, like, words. Yeah, it just doesn't translate while it's.
Aaron Keenan
Why do those emails have so many attachment files?
JPC
I think it's my keyboard. It's doing that.
Aaron Keenan
Okay. Also, we've never had a sweater episode where we kind of come after one of you guys and it has to happen organically and we can't force it.
JPC
But. But why do you think that is?
Aaron Keenan
Because you guys wear boring shit. I wore a sweater sweatshirt, by the way.
JPC
That wasn't even a sweater.
Aaron Keenan
It was a sweatshirt. It was from Farm Rio. And now that brand has exploded and is everywhere. So I feel like you have to be.
JPC
You have to be part of that, right? Like, you're. It's. You're culturally, you're like a big part of that.
Aaron Keenan
I did. A listener did reach out and said that they have, like, a Google alert to buy the sweater on, like, ebay or like Thredup or any of those, like, reseller things. And they go quick.
JPC
That's so smart. That's so smart.
Adol Refai
How much are we talking resale?
Aaron Keenan
Like a hundred and something.
JPC
I mean, it wasn't at a hundred and something. Like, Tavish bought it. It was an expensive sweater.
Aaron Keenan
I think the original price of the sweater was like 150, but I got it on a sale.
JPC
You got it on a sale? That's right. I do remember you got it on.
Aaron Keenan
A sale, but then everybody sold it out after I So I don't know, I feel like I should own 80% of the company.
Adol Refai
I had a thought this morning that. You know, like an estate sale, when someone dies.
JPC
Yes.
Adol Refai
That's basically a going out of business sale. That person went out of business.
JPC
Oh.
Adol Refai
In terms of, like, their life ended. Right.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
The llc, that was. That person shuddered.
Aaron Keenan
You're going out of business sale. I'm going to buy so many books. I'm going to buy so many books. Books and flannels.
JPC
Everything must go. Adel is going out of business.
Adol Refai
I love my family. And Gemma and everyone is hosting the sale. And Aaron's like, hey, I'm gonna buy some books. And they're like, aaron, we missed you at the funeral. And you're like, yeah, funeral. Didn't wanna be sad.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, yeah, I didn't wanna be funeral. I didn't wanna be sad. I'm trying to design my home that when I die, a bunch of people line up down the block and they fight over my stuff.
JPC
Whoa, whoa. I'm trying to design my home so that when I die, it shakes for a couple seconds and then kind of collapses in on itself.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
Like it's. What would be the word? Booby trap.
Adol Refai
Exactly. Yep, Yep. And I'm trying to take all my stuff with me when I die.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, we gotta put you in like a tomb and have it, like, sort of surround you with all of your books. If I died suddenly, tragically and young.
JPC
Cause you got the vaccine.
Aaron Keenan
Because I got the vaccine.
Adol Refai
Suddenly, tragically and young. Is this a Broken Social Scene song?
Aaron Keenan
It is.
JPC
Hey, Eric, I got some news for you. You don't gotta worry about young.
Aaron Keenan
I'm still Aaron. I did have a moment this week where I was like, I feel old for the first time.
JPC
Wow.
Aaron Keenan
I feel like I'm old. I've been alive for a long time, but.
JPC
Because you're 33, right?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah. And I think my voice is getting deeper. We'll talk about that later.
JPC
No, we can definitely notice it. Have 8 years of podcasts under you. That's the Jesus age, Aaron. So you've made it past. You've made it past how old Jesus was?
Aaron Keenan
Well, I got like 34. To make it past how?
JPC
Well, he didn't die on his birthday.
Adol Refai
I think he did.
JPC
He died on Christmas.
Adol Refai
I think that's why we celebrate it.
JPC
Oh, no.
Aaron Keenan
It's so sad to die on Christmas.
JPC
It must have been so cold on the cross too. Well, it's not always cold in the cross.
Adol Refai
I need to check, but I think at the Time. It wasn't Christmas.
Aaron Keenan
No, no. It was always Christmas.
Adol Refai
Oh, okay.
Aaron Keenan
My point is, wouldn't it be so.
JPC
Funny if the crucifix and all, like, all Catholic imagery of the crucifix was, like, winter them as well? He has, like, a little Santa hat on.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, that's. There's ornaments somewhere. My mom is smashing a glass between.
JPC
I guess it's not good, but it's funny.
Aaron Keenan
One time I sent a Jesus meme to my family group chat, and I got two separate texts outside of the family group chat from my mom and dad being like, that's not funny.
JPC
We don't joke about Jesus.
Aaron Keenan
But okay, my. If I die tragically and young, who should I leave? I'm looking at the sweatshirt right now. Who should I leave it to?
Adol Refai
I think we should do that thing where you cut it up into, like, a hundred pieces and everybody gets a slice.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, okay. But who would want that? Do you. Either of you want it?
JPC
You know who would love it? Aaron? I'm not sure if, you know, if, you know the county dump, but you could just. Basically, you basically just put it in, like, a trash can, and then they.
Aaron Keenan
Just add all the sweatshirts. Yours.
Adol Refai
Thank you.
Aaron Keenan
And you can wear it when you miss me. It smells like gasoline. Aw. All right.
Adol Refai
Okay, let's put on some riddles. Cause tis.
JPC
Put on a pot of riddles.
Aaron Keenan
Pot of riddles, then.
JPC
Copper riddles.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah. A couple of comedians manically trying to stop riddles from coming at them.
Adol Refai
Comedians in cars solving riddles. Here's sort of a jokey pun answer.
JPC
Pun answer. I guess.
Adol Refai
Pun, riddle. What kind of advice can you. Nope. Yes. What kind of advice can you get from your right hand? What kind of advice can you get from your right hand?
Aaron Keenan
How to be correct.
Adol Refai
You're on the right track.
Aaron Keenan
How to not do the wrong thing.
Adol Refai
Okay. Think more along the lines of right hand might have some specific terminology. Not just right hand, but maybe both your hands.
Aaron Keenan
Masturbating. Don't talk about masturbating.
JPC
I don't want to say.
Aaron Keenan
Here, have it. Talk.
Adol Refai
It's sort of a pun. It's sort of a play on a word that would pertain to your hands or a part of your hand.
Aaron Keenan
Fingers.
Adol Refai
Pa. Yes, Aaron, but of elongate. Fingers.
JPC
Finger.
Adol Refai
Add another word to it.
Aaron Keenan
I guess that's gotta be the title of the episode. Fingers.
JPC
How do you spell it? Fingers.
Aaron Keenan
Fingers of speech. Fingers.
JPC
Fingers of speech.
Aaron Keenan
How to finger out. How to.
Adol Refai

Adol Refai
What kind of Advice can you get from your right hand or your left hand?
JPC
Either hand.
Adol Refai
And advice. Finger is absolutely a part of it, but we just need one other word. Three letters or four letters, actually.
JPC
Finger play.
Adol Refai
Finger advice. You might get some nice hints or.
JPC
Tricks or finger it out.
Adol Refai
Finger hints or tricks?
Aaron Keenan
Tips. Fingertips.
Adol Refai
Fingertips.
Aaron Keenan
Guys, I feel like I'm hearing the word finger for the first time in my entire life. Finger, finger, finger. I'd like to see a scene.
JPC
I don't like that word.
Adol Refai
Under the finger. Sand in the back. Grease lightning.
Aaron Keenan
Sets podcast on fire. Walks away. Doesn't look behind me. I'd like to see a sayed adol. You are proposing to JPC and you cannot seem to get the ring on his finger.
JPC
Oh, my God.
Adol Refai
Wow.
JPC
It's happening. It's happening.
Adol Refai
Look at that. The sun is setting and we're on the beach where we met, where your dog tried to pull down my swim shorts. And I sort of yelled at it at first, and then I calmed down and then you came over and said, sorry about my dog. So sort of full circle.
JPC
I think I know what this is.
Adol Refai
Nick, get down on one knee.
JPC
Oh, it's happening.
Adol Refai
Okay. And Megan, I've adored you since the first day your dog tried to rip down my shorts. And I'm gonna let it. I'll let it go.
JPC
Yeah, let it go.
Adol Refai
But I love you so much, and I want to make you my wife for life. My life wife. So here's.
JPC
Fuck. Fuck.
Adol Refai

JPC
We got in the ocean.
Adol Refai
You can.
JPC
You can't restart this. It's a moment that's happening.
Aaron Keenan
You.
Adol Refai
Webster's dictionary.
Aaron Keenan
This thing I think is happening is happening. Oh, you really want to marry a man who. On the pants I can pull down at the beach. Woof, woof.
Adol Refai
Is Pierre talking to you in your little language? Your secret little language?
JPC
Pierre is a dog. Pierre doesn't speak Pierre.
Aaron Keenan
Just, you know, I speak.
JPC
Nick, focus. I'm sorry, the dog's going crazy right now, but focus, please.
Adol Refai
He's got human eyes. I've always said that. I've always said that. I always will say that. There's something wrong.
JPC
He's got human eyes.
Adol Refai
There's something wrong with your dog. It has human eyes. It walks on two legs. Always. Not just for a little bit, but.
Aaron Keenan
Always near the ground. I could pull down his pants right now.
Adol Refai
What's he saying?
JPC
I don't.
Adol Refai
It's a dog something.
JPC
He's just barking.
Adol Refai
He's gesticulating.
JPC
Dog.
Adol Refai
Why would a dog just stick you like Nick, me or the dog? Here, put out your finger. Put out your finger.
JPC
Here. What? Put up my fucking.
Adol Refai
Why won't this go hard?
JPC
But that's on my thumb. Oh, that's not.
Adol Refai
I was gonna say. Yeah, I was gonna say you got grubby little fingers. But that's just the one.
JPC
Don't say grubby fingers.
Adol Refai
It's a joke.
Aaron Keenan
Your standard's so low that you would say. You're such a pathetic man. Woof, woof.
Adol Refai
What's he saying?
JPC
It's a dog. Dog.
Adol Refai
He's smoking a cigarette in one of those long holders.
JPC
He found a cigarette on the ground. Dogs root around. It's a beach. It's a public beach, okay? There's going to be cigarettes everywhere.
Adol Refai
Why does he have a belt?
JPC
You know what, Nick?
Adol Refai
Megan, why does he wear a belt? That's a. That's a little kid or something.
JPC
I think I really wanted to get married. And I think I put a lot of projection onto like what I was looking for. And I actually don't think now that I'm like having a moment of clarity. I don't think it's you, Nick.
Adol Refai
Okay. And I'm projecting that in the next year you're going to go get that dog looked at and they're going to be like, this is a 22 year old in a suit or something that is blue.
Aaron Keenan
No, I'm a tiny shih Tzu. Woof, woof.
Adol Refai
Flicked its cigarette at me and now it's peeing on me.
JPC
Get the fuck. You know what? Why don't you get the fuck, Nick? It's. You know what? It's. Oh, Pierre, let's go. We're going. Heal, Pierre, heal. Heal my broken heart.
Adol Refai
I tripped in the. Oh, the ring is in slow motion and it's landing on Pierre's pa. Oh, it doesn't fit.
Aaron Keenan
I eat the ring. See, I'm a 22 year old man.
Adol Refai
That's the new way. I ate the bones. I ate the ring.
Aaron Keenan
I ate the bones.
JPC
22 year old man in a shih Tzu costume.
Aaron Keenan
I've seen it.
Adol Refai
Isn't there a documentary? Yeah, I think it's real. Where it's like some family lost their kid and then like four years later somebody showed up and they're like, I'm your kid. And their family's like, okay. And then the kid went to school and stuff. And then at some point they're like, this is like a little 28 year old guy or something.
Aaron Keenan
That was an adoption thing and it was a girl. Oh, but I love that.
Adol Refai
I guess this might be a short story I thought of.
JPC
I honestly think you're describing one of those early 2000s Waynes Brothers movies.
Adol Refai
Wayne's World.
JPC
Yeah, Wayne's Brother's World.
Adol Refai
Wow. There's a time when Marlon Waynes was synonymous with comedy. And then he did work for him for a dream. And then I feel like he's kind of been a Renaissance man. All right, let's get another riddle going here. I guess that's on me to do. Let's find a good one here. Oh, what is served but never eaten?
JPC
Oh, like a dance battle. Do you guys remember you Suck Us Got Served?
Aaron Keenan
No.
Adol Refai
Have you ever seen I'm Gonna get yout Sucka? Speaking of Marlon Wayans, one of the best parody movies. Truly?
Aaron Keenan
Can you read it again?
JPC
Served but never eaten.
Adol Refai
What is served but never eaten?
Aaron Keenan
Divorce papers.
Adol Refai
I mean, yeah, that works. Tennis balls. Tennis ball works too. Here it says volleyball. But you both had correct answers.
JPC
I do want to see a quick scene real quick. Sorry. Aaron. Aaron, you are going to be a process server serving ADOL with divorce papers. But adol, you are going to be doing anything you can to get rid of the papers so that no one can prove that you were served.
Aaron Keenan
And you've been served. I'm so sorry to do it like this. You thought we were on a date.
Adol Refai
Ah, that's quite all right. I'm having a lovely time. Hey, pick a card, any card.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, I really don't want to indulge in this because I'm at work.
Adol Refai
Okay, put it back in the deck. Okay, now check your upper left coat pocket.
Aaron Keenan
It's not going to be in there.
Adol Refai
Are those the divorce papers?
Aaron Keenan
No, it's the two of diamonds. That's my card. It's impressive that you did that. But the divorce paper.
Adol Refai
Check your other coat pocket.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, you're getting up to leave and to run away from the divorce papers. No. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, oh, oh.
Adol Refai
I tripped. Oh fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, you've been served. Here are the papers.
Adol Refai
That's a joke leg. Haha. Throws out a banana peel, slips on.
JPC
His own banana peel.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, hey, hey. You've been served. You've been served. Hey, I know it stinks. I know it stinks, but you've been served. Wait, what is in my pocket? Are these the divorce papers?
JPC
Mm.
Adol Refai
Froze a red turtle shell behind me.
Aaron Keenan
Gets hit by red turtle shell. No, you do. Oh, see?
Adol Refai
Yes. No, you do?
JPC
Yes. I mean, Eric, you did say, gets hit by a red turtle shell. That kind of implies.
Adol Refai
Uh. Oh, hey, kids. We have a very special guest today. This is a brand new Muppet that Jim Henson's last will and testament demanded be made. This is Cormor. Cormor. Say hi.
D
I tried to burn me with fire and I came back to life. There's no one controlling me.
Adol Refai
Oh, so you're sort of a supernatural Muppet?
JPC
Yeah. Okay, why does cord. Mr. Sanderson, why does Cormor look like that?
Adol Refai
Cormor is sort of.
D
Your mom didn't mind it last night.
Adol Refai
Okay, so Cormor did fuck your mom, but Cormor's sort of an ancient evil. Is Cormor sort of an ancient evil who I believe Jim. So we all know Jim Henson was into sort of mysticism and this sort of Aleister Crowley type.
D
I'm an oldest time bitch.
Adol Refai
Who's a bitch?
D
All y'all.
Adol Refai
I kind of like a Muppet that says it. That kind of says it how it is, right? Am I crazy? It's kind of refreshing. What do you think of Miss Piggy? Hey, what do you think of Miss Piggy? Cormor.
D
Fuck Miss Piggy.
Adol Refai
I like that.
D
She's a fan.
JPC
Is this Muppet appropriate for a fourth grade classroom?
Adol Refai
You're not going to tell your parents, are you?
JPC
It's Parent Teacher Day. We're here.
D
Let's go to Jamba Juice.
Adol Refai
Oh, okay. Koramor's gonna take all the parents to Jamba Juice.
JPC
Okay. No complaints for me. I love Jamba Juice.
D
I wanna yell at the people behind the counter at Jamba Juice for making my smoothie rock.
JPC
What if they make it right?
D
They won't. They never do.
Adol Refai
We also have another of. I guess this is one of Jim Henson's last Old Testament demon puppets. This is Little Monkey Bones. Little Monkey Bones, say hi to the class.
JPC
Hey, everybody. It's me, Little Monkey Bows. I'm a perfect clone of Kormar.
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah. Now that you say Kormor and Little Monkey Bows do look alike. Are you two both ancient demons?
JPC
Yeah. Yep. Oh, you just assume that we're both ancient demons. Cause we look the same. Wow.
Adol Refai
Well, wait. You said you are related, right?
JPC
You know what? You're paying for Jama Gears.
D
Why don't you want to ask us any more questions?
JPC
Good. Are you afraid that we might know the answers, Mr. Sanderson?
Adol Refai
Kids, parents, I can't stress enough. I'm trying to put my arms down. My arms with these puppets on it down and my arms will not go down. Please, everyone back out of the classroom. Get help. The puppets have somehow taken over my arms.
D
We're puppeting your arms, your babies.
JPC
And now. Oh, bitch.
Adol Refai
Scene.
JPC
Scene. That was a scene.
Aaron Keenan
Scene? We weren't even in a scene. You can't get out of here. When you don't call a scene, you can't say scene to get out of it.
Adol Refai
If you die in a scene, you die in real life. Let's do what flies through the air on stolen feathers. I like this one. What flies through the air on stolen feathers?
JPC
Arrow.
Adol Refai
Yeah, it's an arrow. I do want to see that arrow.
Aaron Keenan
That's a great riddle.
Adol Refai
I want to see a scene. JBC year. Robin Hood. Aaron, you're sort of like a poor person of the woods, and Robin Hood's trying to recruit you, but he hasn't really found his footing yet in terms of his image.
JPC
Do not fear. Do not fear. Look above you in the tree. Do not fear. I have no quarrel with you, poor villager. What are you out here doing? Collecting sticks for your meager kind of survival?
Aaron Keenan
I was going for a walk to clear my head, Mr. Condescending.
JPC
Oh, you just. You're holding a few sticks. I didn't know if it was like a. Collecting sticks for your meager survival.
Aaron Keenan
I thought these were nice sticks. I'm gonna bring them in, my dog.
JPC
They are. They are nice sticks.
Aaron Keenan
You're just like all the other rich people. Just so condescending.
JPC
Rich people? Wait, wait. No. Rich. No, I'm not rich. I'm like you. I'm. I'm just in a tree. Oh, the clothes.
Aaron Keenan
Yes.
JPC
No. So good point. Glad you brought this up. So I'm a Robin Hood. My whole thing, or what I think my thing is going to be, or what my thing kind of is kind of shaping into right now is I rob from the rich. Number one with a bullet. Take some stuff for me. Invest a sliver. Take a sliver and invest. I don't touch it.
Aaron Keenan
Workshop your brand out on me. I'm so tired of men doing that. You're just sort of like, using me. You're a man. Yeah, I know you can't. And I'm not doing that to other people, so I can hold you accountable.
JPC
But, hey, here's the thing. I'm looking for like minded individuals who want to kind of join my whole thing.
Aaron Keenan
Not doing a crypto thing with you. No, not doing a crypto thing with you.
Adol Refai
Oh. Good day, fellow travelers. Tis I, Robert Hoad.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, we're Sort of in the middle of something.
JPC
Oh, yeah, no, well, I was trying.
Adol Refai
To recruit folks to my happy band of folks. See, I sort of play pyramid scheme.
Aaron Keenan
Pyramids game.
Adol Refai
No, well, hold on. My thing is I steal from the middle class and I give to the lower middle class.
JPC
It's. It Robert Hode's thing doesn't work. I've. I've thought about it too. It's just like it's a wealth transfer thing, but it's not like it's not solving inequality. Fuck you, Robert Hode.
Aaron Keenan
Hello, everybody. I'm Ruby who I steal from the poor and give to the rich.
Adol Refai
What the fuck?
JPC
Ruby who.
Adol Refai
How is everyone flocking? What? All these people from the woods are flocking.
JPC
Oh my God.
Adol Refai
Ruby.
JPC
This is the rich part of the woods. Everybody in the rich part of the woods loves Ruby Hood.
Adol Refai
See, Robin Hood got primaried. Why don't we take a quick break?
JPC
Steal from the board. Give to the rich is just rich.
Aaron Keenan
That's just like what, how you get rich?
JPC
That's just regular rich.
Aaron Keenan
Just regular rich.
Adol Refai
Amazing song.
Aaron Keenan
Isn't that a good time? Noodle and noon haven't had a lot of day.
Adol Refai
Reagan Hood, of course, had trickled down robbing hood. We take a quick break and we'll be right back with more April 1st.
JPC
Gotcha. Hey, adolescent Aaron. I'm not accusing either one of you of doing this. I mean, but if it's a joke, it's funny. Like I don't want to, I don't want to be like, oh, this is not funny thing to do. Someone sent me a box by Shrimpo and it appears to be a bunch of, I don't know, shrimp forward meals that are really mostly just, it looks like cooked shrimp that someone sent me a box of in the mail.
Adol Refai
Yeah, that's the Middler's new meal service. Shrimp. Oh, it's pretty bad. But I don't know if you've tried Tempo. Tempo's actually very, very good.
Aaron Keenan
It's fantastic. It's sort of the oppos.
JPC
Oh. Tempo is the weekly delivery service that delivers chef crafted meals from a dietitian approved menu fresh to your door. And Shrimpo is the one that sends like spoiled cooked shrimp and it comes whenever the Middler kind of decides to send it.
Aaron Keenan
Yep. But Tempo offers a variety of meals for different dietary and taste preferences, including protein packed, calorie conscious, carb conscious, and fiber rich.
Adol Refai
I tried their barbecue chicken which was absolutely impeccably delicious. And their not your Nonna's beef lasagna. Now My Nona, I never called her Nonna. I called her grandpa. She never made beef lasagna. And thank God she didn't because this would have blown hers out of the water.
JPC
Yeah, the Middler sent me some shrimp lasagna and there was like several, it looks like, attempts to like make a play on that name, like shrimp lasagna and shrimpsia, but it's like all crossed off and like just written in with.
Aaron Keenan
New recipes every week that are made with real ingredients, not old shrimp and nutrient rich. They make it easy to keep up a healthy lifestyle.

This podcast is sponsored by Squarespace.
JPC
Oh, hey guys. I was just going to sit down and build a website real quick and I wanted to know, does anyone have, before I start, like, a preference on a platform that I can use?
Adol Refai
Oh, I think Squarespace, of course.
Aaron Keenan
Squarespace.
Adol Refai
Great. Yeah, Squarespace is, you know, the all.
JPC
In one, sponsoring us for years. Yeah, Squarespace.
Adol Refai
Yeah, yeah. Squarespace is the all in one website platform for entrepreneurs to stand out and succeed online. You know, whether you're just starting out or managing a growing brand, Squarespace makes it easy to create a beautiful website, engage with your audience, and sell anything from products to content to time. All in one place. All on your terms.
JPC
Yeah, that's great. I mean, of course I use Squarespace. What I'm actually doing right now is building a website for my new podcast.
Aaron Keenan
Don't be the Middler.
JPC
Hi, Riddle. Riddle, it's me, the middler.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, gosh, I was just gonna say you have my full support. Unless it's the middler.
JPC
It was the middler. I was wearing a GPC coat.
Aaron Keenan
Well, Midler, if you use Squarespace, you get discovered fast with integrated Squarespace SEO tools. Every website is optimized to be indexed with meta descriptions, an auto generated sitemap, and more. So you show up more often on search engines and bring in more of your ideal customers, which I assume is super villain.
JPC
No, it's people who want another Riddle podcast. That's like way worse than.
Aaron Keenan
Huh?
JPC
It's not really a good business model. But I am the middler.
Aaron Keenan
So Squarespace makes it easy to showcase your expertise and engage clients with video content. On your website, upload and organize your videos, create stunning video libraries, and even monetize your content by adding a paywall. Perfect for online courses, exclusive tutorials, and premium workshops, which I'm sure are about teaching people how to be a village.
JPC
It's pretty clear to me that the Middler doesn't have his thing figured out completely. But if you want to figure things out completely, use Squarespace Analytics. You can make smarter business decisions with Squarespace's intuitive built in analytics tools. Review website traffic, learn where to focus engagement, and track revenue from bookings, invoices, or product sales. All from one place. Midler, I'm just going to go ahead and take my jacket back. You do not have permission. Oh.
Adol Refai
Oh, no. You took all my skin off. And it wasn't me, the Middler. It was me. Dr. Chameleon.
JPC
What?
Aaron Keenan
Do we have time for this?
JPC
The hell?

JPC
Dr. Chameleon, are you also here with Steve? Did Steve drive you?
Adol Refai
Well, Steve is actually the middler. Wearing a suit, so it gets pretty complex.
Aaron Keenan
Somebody write this down on a whiteboard. I gotta keep track of this.
JPC
It's me, the Middler. I can't drive. Oh, gosh, did I do a good job?
Adol Refai
We're first cousins.
JPC
Oh, Adil. Aaron. I didn't see you there.
Adol Refai
Hey, Middler.
Aaron Keenan
The Middler. Hi, Midler.
JPC
Yes, it's the Middler. Not even really trying to hide it anymore. I am who I am. I wanted to tell you about an app that I've been working on. You're gonna love this. It's all about teaching financial literacy to people the moment before their death.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, Midler.
JPC
It's called Acorns. Way too late.
Aaron Keenan
No.
JPC
Well, here's what it does. It just. It gives you really good lessons in a time when you cannot use them.
Adol Refai
Terrible idea. You should get with Acorns Early. Yeah, Midler, Acorns early is a smart money app and debit card for kids that helps them learn the value of money.
JPC
Yeah. Acorns early has a chore tracker that teaches kids that hard work pays off. It's a. It's. You know, it's an app targeted to children, Midler, not people. Whatever you said.
Aaron Keenan
Acorns early lets parents pay allowances automatically, and kids can spend what they earn with their very own debit cards. I would have loved a system like this growing up because it would have Taught me how money works. And that money is real way earlier because I didn't find out until I was 29.
Adol Refai
Plus, parents can keep track of where and when their kids are spending. So if kids are like, you know, buying Middler merchandise, you know me, I could be like, hey, son, don't support the middler.
JPC
Steve. Steve, write that down. We need Middler merchandise. Oh, we have to, Steve.
Aaron Keenan
Who's Steve? You just looked around.
JPC
Where's Steve? Steve's my ride.
Adol Refai
Hey, I'm here in the Steve mobile.
JPC
Good. He's in the Steve mobile in the parking lot.
Aaron Keenan
Also, grow your kids money skills with bite sized financial lessons. The Acorns app has tons of fun interactive courses that help kids learn about all things money.
JPC
I love Acorns Early. I'm so glad that they're sponsoring the show because it is kind of never too early to start giving your kids good financial lessons. The number one thing that I hear from adults is how much they wish they would have had stuff like this when they were kids. Something that I heartily endorse.
Adol Refai
Ready to help your kids learn the value of money? Just head to acornserly.com riddle or download the Acorns early app to get started. Sign up now and your first month is on. US terms and conditions apply. Monthly subscription fees starting from $5 per month unless canceled.
JPC
$5 a month? Oh, I forgot to charge for mine too. Steve, take me home.
Aaron Keenan
Can I get a ride? Steve Midler?
Adol Refai
Uh, yeah, Aaron, Hop on in. Middler. Why don't you find your own way home, Steve? Am I crazy, or does Steve kind of sound like me?
JPC
No, Middler doesn't sound like anyone else either. It's all original content.
Aaron Keenan
Maybe.
JPC
The Robin Hood property that I am most familiar with has to be Robin Hood Bennett tights. I think I watched that movie so good 100 times when I was a kid.
Adol Refai
So good.
JPC
We had that in Spaceballs on vhs. And I would just, like, rotate between those two watching them over and over again.
Aaron Keenan
That makes sense for your sense of humor that you were forged in those fires.
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah. I feel like Spaceballs and maybe like Airplane are the. The movies I've quoted the most in my life.
Aaron Keenan
It's all coming together for me. I'm sort of getting a clear picture of why you guys are the way you are.
Adol Refai
And Aaron, I'm going to say Legally Blonde at Empire Record the Bible. Whoa, the movie.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah. Okay.
JPC
No, it's obviously newsies and Pirates of Penzance.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm ready to do some Riddles. I think I'm gonna kick their asses.
JPC
Yeah, I think so. I think Aaron's gonna kick their asses today.
Adol Refai
Just like that song. Come around, we'll kick your asses. Don't give up. You got the Dreamer's disease.
JPC
Age 15, dreamers disease.
Adol Refai
Here's a riddle for you. If you can hear the sound of my house, I am no longer there. What am I?
JPC
Oh, it's an episode of House.
Aaron Keenan
A crab shell seashell.
Adol Refai
You can hear Aaron is a seashell. You did kick the riddle's ass. Jpc. What did you say for an answer?
JPC
It was gonna be an episode of House because if you hear the ending theme now House is over and you're not watching House anymore.
Aaron Keenan
He had a better answer.
JPC
And what does the theme from House sound like? It's just like ambient noise, right? No, it's a song.
Adol Refai
I have no idea what happened to Predict. Is that House?
Aaron Keenan
Yep.
JPC
Watch out for Wilson and Cudi too. And pesky 13 and a couple of other characters.
Adol Refai
What's the woman? Olivia Wilde. She was on the show. What was her name? Is something wild.
JPC
It was 13 or 15 or something like that. Yeah, it's something like House didn't really learn her name. I used to watch House quite a bit back in the days of it, like being out on TV weekly. I enjoyed Hugh Laurie and I enjoyed his house accent. That was just a British person obviously doing an American accent.
Aaron Keenan
Classic. I was going to say. Oh, I want to see a scene Adol. You are at the beach just having a lovely, peaceful time and you put a shell up to your ear to listen to the ocean. But there is a crab still in there, played by jvc.
Adol Refai
Oh, look what washed ashore here. I'm adding that to my collection. Let's go ahead and hear the ocean.
JPC
Excuse me. Hey, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.
Aaron Keenan
Hello.
JPC
Have you seen a princess? Like a mermaid? A mermaid princess?
Adol Refai
Did someone put like an airpod in.
JPC
Here and they're doing like, I'm in pops out. I'm a crab. I'm a crab. I'm a hermit crab. I live in this show. Yeah, sorry. Hey, I never do this. Have you seen a mermaid princess? Or she would be. Do people say mute anymore? I don't know. I don't know.
Adol Refai
I don't think so.
JPC
She would be not able to speak. Okay. Knock out. Gorgeous. Like 10 out of 10 smoke.
Adol Refai
Vocally challenged. I think we'd say vocally.
JPC
Yeah, but no, no words. Have you seen her? She would be not stupid, but, like, she doesn't this. Okay, good. But the whole. This whole thing would be unfamiliar. I'm looking for her. I was supposed to sing her two or three songs.
Adol Refai
There is a. There's a woman who is sort of buried up to her waist in sand.
JPC
So it was the tide, basically. I forgot about the tide. And I've been.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
Kind of. Kind of a. Son of a. I've been kind of getting sucked out into the ocean and spat back in. And I think it's like. It's like a riptide in this kind of area.
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah.
JPC
In the sand. Buried in the sand. Yeah.
Adol Refai
There's a woman who's buried up to her waist in the sand. I don't know. It doesn't look like a princess, but it could be. Do you want me go check?
JPC
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Does she look, like, hot, but, like, in an evil way? Like, she might be, like. Not like.
Adol Refai
Like Angelica Houston in Adams family. The first Adams family, dude.
JPC
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly that. Because if that's right. Because if it's that. If that's what that in the sand looks like, I gotta stay away from her because she kind of knows my whole.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
Yeah. And she will. I mean, she'll eat me, man.
Adol Refai
Oh, well, I think anyone. Well, you're a hermit crab. Sorry.
JPC
I'm a hermit crab?
Adol Refai
Yeah. Never mind. Sorry. Sorry.
JPC
Yeah, I mean, people eat crabs, but people eat hermit crab. I'm basically a bug.
Adol Refai
Yeah, well, so are lobsters, but they're delicious. Sorry, but, dude.
JPC
But, dude.
Adol Refai
Sorry.
JPC
Yeah, when you hear me sing. But, dude, it's game over. Because that's where I kind of shine, so I really haven't.
Adol Refai
Sing. Sing.
JPC
Do you do, like a.
Adol Refai
Do you like a. Do you do, like, a patois when you sing?
JPC
No, Jamaican patois. What? Do I sound Jamaican to you? No, I sing in my normal thing, but I sing good.
Adol Refai
But it's not wearing the hat. You're wearing that sort of knitted beret.
JPC
This was in the shell.
Adol Refai
Okay, man. I'm just saying it's on your head.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
Yeah. Okay.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
The thing about my songs is it's, like, fucking very specific to, like, situationally. And they're really without, like, her involved. Like, the context just doesn't make sense.
Adol Refai
Oh, that's fine. I'm gonna set you down. I am a producer for Sony, but that's fine. Yeah. If you don't want to sing, that's totally fine. So let me just set you back down for Sony.
JPC
Yeah, I'm Good seeing it.
Adol Refai
Sony. A shot at Sony.
JPC
Finally at Sony.
Adol Refai
Finally we got it right. Let's see here. Give me one second.
JPC
They're not. I guess there still are music studios. It just feels like those things all should be gone. But I guess they still do exist. Because when you say Sony, my first thought is like movies. But I guess they probably still do like music production as well.
Adol Refai
They must, right? I'm mostly going off of the old magazine inserts that were like 12 CD, Columbia House and all that.
JPC
Those things that are like 30 years old at this point.
Adol Refai
They had like a Sony section and a bm, bmc, bmg, whatever.
JPC
Yeah, umg.
Adol Refai
Umg, yeah.
JPC
Bm, B. That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All those companies surely must be gone by now.
Adol Refai
What isn't alive but can still be dead?
JPC
The truth. Deadass.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Ain't that the truth? What isn't alive but can still be dead.
JPC
Let's think about what could be dead. Wrong.
Adol Refai
Whoa. Aaron, It's a battery.
Aaron Keenan
Yep.
JPC
Wow.
Aaron Keenan
Yep.
JPC
Very nice, Eren. Very smart.
Aaron Keenan
Thank you so much everybody.
Adol Refai
And I do want to see a scene. Aaron, you're sort of like a Teddy Ruxpin. Do you know what that is?
Aaron Keenan
Mm.
Adol Refai
Okay.
Aaron Keenan
My great grandfather had one.
JPC
Dude clowned him.
Adol Refai
He carried it with him in the Revolutionary War. You're gonna be a Teddy Ruxpin type toy and your batteries are dying. Jpc. You're another toy who's sad to see this happen.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, I was thinking we'd have a tea party today.
JPC
Hey, I was thinking we'd have a tea party today. Sorry, I'm a yakback. Sorry, I didn't.
Aaron Keenan
No, I know, I know. Yeah, I know that you're a yakback.
JPC
It's just cause I was pressing the button when you said. Teddy, what's going on?
Aaron Keenan
Oh, I'm not too much.
JPC
Are you drunk?
Aaron Keenan
Having a pretty normal day.
JPC
I'm not drunk. Oh my God. I know what's happening. I know what's happening. Teddy, you're batteries are running out.
Aaron Keenan
Did Raggedy Ann tell you about our separation? We're on a trial separation right now.
JPC
It sounds like it's gonna be more than just a trial.
Aaron Keenan
What do you mean it's gonna be more than just a trial?
JPC
Teddy, save your strength. I've seen this happening to Quick Raps by Con Air. Once your batteries go, you're gone forever.
D
What do you mean I'm gone forever?
JPC
Actually, I don't know what's happening. Cuz it seems like you're fine until like Mid sentence. Maybe just try to speak in shorter sentences. Maybe that's like. Maybe that'll conserve the battery.
Aaron Keenan
Okay.
JPC
Okay. Well, that didn't do it. It's basically just halfway. No matter what.
Adol Refai
We cut to a month later. Hey, where's Teddy?
JPC
Dead. He died, like, a month ago. You saw him. He was doing.
Aaron Keenan
He was doing, like, a bit where he's like, I'm gonna go to the store.
Adol Refai
Like, he was doing a bit where he was like, Raggedy Ann.
JPC
We were all at the funeral.
Adol Refai
What?
JPC
We were all at the funeral. You weren't there.
Adol Refai
What are you talking about?
JPC
Teddy died.
Adol Refai
No, it was a joke.
JPC
No, like, a month ago, Teddy died.
Adol Refai
Shut your fucking Lyme out. What the fuck?
JPC
Shut your fucking Lyme mouth. Sorry. Figure on the button.
Adol Refai
Finger on the button.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, man.
Adol Refai
Here's a nifty little riddle. I am buried up to my neck in work. You can pat me on the top of the head when I hold it all together. What am I?
JPC
Giraffe?
Aaron Keenan
Stapler.
Adol Refai
Stapler's much closer than giraffe.
JPC
Oh, man.
Aaron Keenan
Can you read it again? Because I was only thinking about a.
JPC
Stapler padding on the top of the head, though. That holds it all together. That makes sense.
Adol Refai
I am buried up to my neck in work. You can pat me on the top of the head when I hold it all together. What am I?
Aaron Keenan
It's like it's an inanimate object.
Adol Refai
Yes.
JPC
Is it a. Oh, no. Why can't I think of the word for this thing? A paperclip?
Adol Refai
No, I think stapler is a little bit closer. Staples closer.
JPC
Stapes alert.
Adol Refai
Stapes alert. Stapes alert.
Aaron Keenan
Staples alert. Like a nail. A nail.
Adol Refai
Aaron, Aaron, Aaron.
Aaron Keenan
A nail hitting a nail on the head.
Adol Refai
Yes, my dear Les, it is a.
JPC
Nail hitting a nail on the head. These are fun.
Aaron Keenan
I'd like to see a scene. Adol. You're a nail. Jpc. You're a hammer. And you guys get along really well, but now you're at work and jpc, you're about to have to hit him really hard in the head, and it makes it really awkward.
JPC
Oh.
Adol Refai
And then. Yeah, so I got the. Yeah, so I got the full stop.
JPC
I got the full package.
Adol Refai
And they ripped me off. It was wild.
JPC
Oh, my God. Why do you keep going there?
Adol Refai
I know, I know. Well. Well, this is me. Sits down in my cubicle. This is me.
JPC
Stop. All right. Okay. Yeah. We should get back to it.
Adol Refai
Yeah.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
I'll see you at lunch.
JPC
Oh, no, I'm actually here. Yeah, I'm here today.
Adol Refai
You're in my cubicle today.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Oh, shit. Let me check my. Maybe I missed an email. Are we working on the project or.
JPC
Yeah. Did you not. Did no one. No one tell you. What is Mad Libs?
Adol Refai
Did no one tell you adjectives? Horny. Did not tell you Horny?
JPC
No, we're doing. Yeah, we're doing, like, construction and in this.
Adol Refai
Oh.
JPC
Area today.
Adol Refai
Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, do what you need to do. So I'll be on my computer, and then I'll just put in some headphones or something.
JPC
No. Yeah. Okay. Oh, you are looming over me. Yeah, you have to. You have to get. You know, you have to get onto the board here. Did no one tell you what?
Adol Refai
I'm a nail. Get on the board.
JPC
Yeah, okay.
Adol Refai
Yeah, that's.
JPC
But that's it.
Adol Refai
I feel like we're past those tropes. We've. We've progressed as a toolkit. Right? So let's. Yeah, let's knock it off, huh?
JPC
Hey, this sucks, but I have to nail you into the board.
Adol Refai
I am a. I am a data analyst. Okay.
JPC
Yeah, but you're also a nail, you know, and I'm a hammer.
Adol Refai
Okay, well, we both work at Nestle, so if you want to talk to. If you want to run it up the flagpole, I think we'll find that you'll be leaving today.
JPC
I. I gotta hate to do this. I am technically your boss because I'm a hammer and you're a nail. It's just like the natural hierarchy of the caste system.
Adol Refai
It's not disgusting. You know what? Hey, you know Brad. Hey, Brad, you know what? Let me do it. Do it. Do it. Takes out. Takes out camera phone. Do it.
JPC
A. Brad is a. Brad is a type of nail.
Adol Refai
I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I say you're live on TikTok right now. Say what you said to me just a moment ago.
JPC
Hey, man, I don't want to do this, but I'm a hammer. You're a nail. This is wood. We have to get going here.
Adol Refai
Whoa. This is wood.
JPC
Could you back me up?
Aaron Keenan
Hey, man, I'm. I'm just trying to get a paycheck. I don't want to. Really?
Adol Refai
What do you do around here?
Aaron Keenan
It's a little rude. I'm wood.
JPC
Wood is wood. You're a nail. I'm Brad the hammer.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, it sounds like you two are pretty frustrated with each other, and I don't think it needs to turn on me. You were supposed to have this done by 11:00am man, it is 1:30. You know, I'm gonna go tell the boss that you're just not doing your job. You're a hammer, he's a nail. Let's just do it.
JPC
We took a long lunch. You know what? I can't do this if I'm angry. If I'm angry, I'm gonna miss. Just hop up on the board. Let's just do this. Let's just all do this. Let's be adults. Yes, this is our.
Aaron Keenan
Yes, let's be adults.
Adol Refai
Hey, everyone. Hey. Attention, attention. Attention, office. Everyone, gather round. Gather round.
JPC
Don't do this. Don't do this.
Adol Refai
Hey. Our co worker, Brad the Hammer, said he wants to pound me into this fucking board. Cause I'm a nail. And yes, that's exactly the terms he used.
Aaron Keenan
Everyone looks on awkwardly because they're all on the same side with the hammer.
Adol Refai
A lot of screwdrivers, a lot of.
JPC
Wrenches, a lot of other nails already hammered into the board.
Adol Refai
Just kind of shrugging. Okay. No one. All right. Okay, I guess I'm leaving. Who's coming with me? Wood, man. Just wood. We going.
Aaron Keenan
Just don't do this.
Adol Refai
Come on.
Aaron Keenan
You're humiliating yourself.
Adol Refai
Just wood. I'm made of metal. You're made of wood.
JPC
Wood is here and you're gonna go with wood, basically.
Adol Refai
I'm not gonna be embarrassed by wood not joining me. You're. Come on. You're a block of fucking wood. I'm a nail.
JPC
Ask some other nails to join you. They will gladly go.
Adol Refai
These nails suck.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, man. Oh, man. Don't.
Adol Refai
What?
JPC
What?
Adol Refai
What? Fuck Nestle. Fuck you guys.
JPC
Whoa.
Adol Refai
Fuck Nestle. Honestly, what are you gonna do?
JPC
You gonna walk away? Where are you gonna go? Who's gonna want a nail?
Adol Refai
I don't know. Someone.
JPC
Hey, welcome to Amazon. We have kind of a pretty open concept office here. We're glad to have you on the team. Heard a lot of great things. Really good coffee over here. We have sleep pods over here. Pretty much it's like any unclean desk is yours. Any, you know, set up wherever you like. Kind of do your. Do your thing.
Adol Refai
Hell, yeah. Thank you so much.
JPC
Yeah. Let's. Any questions for me or.
Adol Refai
Where do I pee? When do I pee in poop?
JPC
Hey, let's get you on this board, huh?
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm being placed on a board?
JPC
Like we're onboarding you.
Adol Refai
Oh, this is amazing. Let me just.
JPC
Right here. This. Yeah, just right here.
Adol Refai
Oh, this is.
JPC
Wow, that's awesome. This is Hammer. Yeah, Hammer's been working for us. For a minute. Hammer. This is nail. Can you finish onboarding nail?
Aaron Keenan
Yep. All right. Just jump up on the board, and I'm gonna hit you really hard in the head.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Okay. Wait. Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Aaron Keenan
And that's lunch. Let's go, everybody.
Adol Refai
That's lunch.
JPC
That's lunch.
Aaron Keenan
Oh.
Adol Refai
Can you imagine a hammer and a nail working together?
Aaron Keenan
It would go a little something like this.
Adol Refai
Wait, no, no, no. We already did it.
Aaron Keenan
You know, guys, we've done a lot of scenes today. Let's call the episode early. Everybody get 10 minutes back into your day.
Adol Refai
Well, it's not daylight savings. It's April Fool's.
JPC
Aaron, that's very, like, tech startup.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, Terrible health insurance, but I like to leave six minutes early.
JPC
On a Friday, we leave this meeting six minutes early. So you could go to your other meeting or just wait for six minutes before that starts.
Adol Refai
Here we go. Several times a day, people from all over the world visit me. Some may think I'm dirty even on my best day. But no one wants to live without me.
Aaron Keenan
A bathroom.
JPC
Bathroom.
Adol Refai
I mean, bathroom. You pretty much got it. But toilet, toilet, toilet. Whoa. I do want to see a toilet.
JPC
I can live without a toilet.
Adol Refai
I would say seeing. Aaron, you're a toilet. At all.
Aaron Keenan
At all. At all. I was in your wedding. Adel, I was in your wedding, man. Come on, man. I stood next to you while you got married.
Adol Refai
Aaron, you're a toilet. Hey, I still love you both.
JPC
But listen, what is this scene? It's just. It's just a guy pooping in a toilet.
Adol Refai
You both take turns turning into toilets and pisses.
Aaron Keenan
Adel, I've called you crying before.
JPC
Hold on. You teach improv.
Aaron Keenan
Adel, you teach improv.
JPC
The scene that you called for is your toilet, and I'm pooping in her mouth.
Aaron Keenan
Last time I had a panic attack, I texted you.
Adol Refai
Yes, yes, but. But listen.
JPC
Hey, but just in general, a premise for a scene is like you two are at a party, and the lay on is like. And you both, like, figure out that you dated the same. But your whole scene is just cheese the toilet and I'm pooping in her. This is more like fetish content than.
Adol Refai
A seed herd chef. Okay, so you two were friends. You find out you dated the same guy.
JPC
That's the thing I just said that.
Adol Refai
You were asking for. Right? I'm giving you what you're asking for. Okay, so you both. You're friends. You both found out you're dating the same guy now.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Quick little caveat.
JPC
There's a layout.
Adol Refai
Every full moon, one of you turns into a toilet and the other one shits in its mouth.
Aaron Keenan
Battle.
JPC
Okay. Yeah.
Adol Refai
What am I saying? That's so taboo?
JPC
This is a scene.
Adol Refai
And don't forget. And then a few seconds later, the other person turns to the toilet and the person who was in the toilet turns into a human. Shits in their mouth.
JPC
Yes. Okay. Right.
Adol Refai
But you both find out you dated the same guy.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
And that's. Yeah. And that's sort of the entree into the scene.
JPC
Okay. Crazy that full moon's over, huh?
Adol Refai
No, it's back. Full moon. We see a full moon.
JPC
What do you mean it's back?
Adol Refai
It's back. A full moon doesn't go away. You're talking about sunrise. You're saying you guys are up at 6:00am yeah. No, Adel.
JPC
Why not?
Aaron Keenan
You bought everyone a Ninja creamy. Because I wanted one.
Adol Refai
Yeah. I'm bad with money. And that doesn't mean that my premise should be shot down. Okay, you're both toilets. You found out.
Aaron Keenan
You once said that you'll take me everywhere you go, that I'm one of your favorite people. And anywhere you go, I go too.
Adol Refai
I just want to see my seat. Okay.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
I love you both so much. I would do anything. I would die for both of you.
JPC
I don't know.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
Sometimes it doesn't feel like it, but.
Aaron Keenan
I didn't understand why it doesn't feel like it when he said, okay, Aaron, you're a toilet and JPC's gonna shit in your mouth. I understand that it doesn't feel like it, but there's.
JPC
You have to understand how it's coming across to us.
Adol Refai
There's a way to do it that's, like, fun for everyone. And I feel like if you give it a. You're judging it.
JPC
You do it.
Adol Refai
Show us how to do it.
Aaron Keenan
Show it.
JPC
Yeah. You do it alone and show us how to do it.
Aaron Keenan
Here you go, improv teacher.
Adol Refai
Go ahead, because I'm going to knock it out of the park. Right.
JPC
Those who.
Adol Refai
And then you're going to be like, oh, those who can't teach.
JPC
Adel, I want to see.
Adol Refai
I am teaching.
JPC
You're a toilet who shits in its own mouth.
Aaron Keenan
Yes.
JPC
And it's a full mood and you're at a party.
Adol Refai
Dumbest fucking premise I ever heard. You two are toilet best friends.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, guys, that's a comedy point where we know we can't end the episode unless someone does this scene. Right?
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Compromise, compromise, compromise.
JPC
That's so smart. It's healthy.
Adol Refai
You're both toilets, and you find out that the same guy shit in both your mouths and go compromise.
Aaron Keenan
Compromise.
JPC
No, no, Aaron, that is a compromise. That's a scene.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, but can I add one little add on to it?
JPC
I'm sure, yeah, please.
Aaron Keenan
Adel, you are also there. You are also a toilet. Solidarity. We go in together.
Adol Refai
But brand new. But brand new. Saran Wrap. Nobody's touched me.
Aaron Keenan
No, no.
Adol Refai
Brand new. Brand new. It has to be spotless. Never been virginal. Virginal. Never been touched.
JPC
This is an awesome party. This is crazy. Did you guys have the Clorox?
Adol Refai
It's not a party. Hold on. It's not a party.
Aaron Keenan
You said it was a party.
Adol Refai
What would toilets be celebrating? How they're friends of virgin biggest shit. What? How they're.
Aaron Keenan
She's a virgin toilet who can't drive.
JPC
Yeah, this is. It's Megan's coming out party. Someone's gonna shit in her mouth, you know, later today and kind of christen her. Do you guys try the Clorox? It's so good.
Aaron Keenan
It's so good.
JPC
It's blue. It's like. Okay.
Aaron Keenan
I'm trying to stay hydrated, though, so. I've been drinking a lot of pee today. Adult. We're doing the thing you wanted. I just talked about drinking pee.
Adol Refai
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
JPC
Quick time out.
Adol Refai
It sounds like you're both being sarcastic. The way you guys are talking is like you, like. You're like. Have you tried the Cloronox? Oh, my God. Like, you're talking as if you don't have a party.
JPC
We're being social. We'll skip to it. We'll skip to it.
Aaron Keenan
We'll skip to it. We'll skip to it.
Adol Refai
Skip to what?
JPC
Oh, my God. Jerry's here.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, my God.
JPC
This is crazy. You're never gonna believe this.
Adol Refai
Okay, here we go.
Aaron Keenan
I dated Jerry a couple weeks ago.
Adol Refai
What? Here we go.
Aaron Keenan
Did you date Jerry, too? No. You were about to say something else.
JPC
No, I never dated Jerry. We had, like, a thing, but it was never, like. It was not, like, a serious. We didn't, like, label it as I got wasted and.
Adol Refai
Yeah, say it.
JPC

Adol Refai
Say what he did.
JPC
Well, he. You know, he did what? He did what you do to a toilet.
Adol Refai

Adol Refai
Say the whole thing. Pause. Say the full thing.
JPC

Aaron Keenan

JPC
What?
Adol Refai
Yeah, say the thing.
JPC
He said that your double water flush button Was just for him.
Aaron Keenan
Just for him.
JPC
Oh, my God. He sold. He said the same fucking thing. Unbelievable. That same line.
Aaron Keenan
Can you hear me for a second? Adel? You're Jerry.
Adol Refai
Yeah. What's up?
JPC

Adol Refai
Scene. Scene.
JPC
I can't imagine doing a bad improv show.
Aaron Keenan
Thank you, Casey.
Adol Refai
Casey cut out this episode.
Aaron Keenan
No. You know, Casey, you guys just quick peek behind the curtain. Right after that scene ended, we sort of sat in silence. Like a sort of awkward, heavy, sad silence that you have after, like you have a fight with someone. But we did cut that out. Cause it was really awkward. But how's everyone feeling? Is everyone okay? I absolutely ate shit. You cannot use that sound.
Adol Refai
Thank you for giving. You just said it. Also, I do want to say I am feeling a certain type of way. But the awkward silence that we sat in, that we cut out, will be on our Patreon. Everything's content.
JPC
Everything's content. We'll put awkward silence on our Patreon. It's uninterrupted awkward silence on the Patreon.
Aaron Keenan
Aqua Science.
JPC
It's Aqua Science. It's Aqua silence. And Aqua Science.
Adol Refai
It's two and a half hours. It's eight dollars. Some people might say there's nothing on there.
D
Okay.
Aaron Keenan
Well, you guys, I am really grateful that such a travesty in friendship betrayal happened at the end of an episode. Because I think a lot of people got interrupted by work, kids, significant other. They had to get in the car, whatever. So I don't know if a lot of people got to this point of the episode.
JPC
No, I think a lot of people did. This is the 350th episode of. Hey, Riddle, Riddle. Congratulations, guys. 350.
Adol Refai
We should do something special.
JPC
What? And we did. What a milestone for the group. Aaron, thoughts? Your head is in your hands right now. Just trying to see if.
D
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Aaron Keenan

Adol Refai
Okay, I want to see a scene. The grape stomp lady. The grape stomp lady has to go to the bathroom.
Aaron Keenan
Go um, do you have a restroom here or.

Adol Refai
Shits her pants. Casey had shit feet. Hell, yeah.

Aaron Keenan
And also with you, last night, I was trying to explain to the guy that I'm seeing what penguin baseball is. And I was like, well, the field is ice and the egg's the ball.

Adol Refai
All right.
JPC
I don't like when people make me say stuff like that.
Adol Refai
I got my toilet scene and compliments on how I eat Kit Kats, which is to bite into them when they're still connected and never break them apart. Hell yeah.
JPC
I hate hearing about that.
Adol Refai
I do have. Oops. Looks like Cormor, the ancient demonic puppet is still on my hand here. Cormor. How you doing?

Hey Riddle Riddle Episode #350: Lasik By A Bird
Released on April 2, 2025 by Headgum
In the landmark 350th episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, hosts Adol Rifai, Aaron Keenan, and John Patrick Coan delve into a blend of comedic improvisation, riddle-solving, and behind-the-scenes banter, all while celebrating their podcasting milestone. This episode, aptly titled "Lasik By A Bird," offers listeners a hearty mix of humor, playful interactions, and engaging content.
The episode kicks off with the trio engaging in a surreal and humorous narrative that sets the tone for the rest of the show. Aaron introduces a bizarre Lasik surgery story, claiming it was performed by a bird, which Adol amusingly confirms:
Adol Rifai [00:50]: "Oh, because I just had Lasik and it was done by. It was done by a bird. So is the doctor."
Aaron Keenan [01:06]: "Okay, but I can't see. Still interesting."
This absurd premise serves as a launching pad for their improvisational antics, highlighting their chemistry and comedic timing.
As the hosts settle into the episode, Adol announces:
Adol Rifai [02:00]: "Dax Shepard is coming on the episode."
This sparks a playful debate about whether Shepard is genuinely joining or attempting an April Fool's prank, especially given the episode's release date:
JPC [03:33]: "Happy April Fools, you idiots. You absolute goddamn fools."
The uncertainty adds an element of intrigue, keeping listeners engaged as they anticipate a potential guest appearance.
Transitioning from guest speculation, Adol shifts the conversation to Dax Shepard's other endeavors, specifically referencing the impactful Anna Kendrick episode of his show, Armchair Expert:
Aaron Keenan [05:06]: "Yeah, it's a little heavy, so I wouldn't call any of it a highlight. But I will say I think that it is one of their most listened to episodes because I think a lot of women who are in toxic Relationships or have been cheated on. Have found a lot of solace in that episode."
This reflection underscores the trio's appreciation for meaningful content amidst their usual comedic fare.
Shifting gears, the conversation moves to favorite sweaters and brands, particularly Farm Rio, leading to discussions about resale markets and fashion trends:
Aaron Keenan [12:07]: "It's pretty clear to me that the Middler doesn't have his thing figured out completely."
JPC [12:22]: "I think the original price of the sweater was like 150, but I got it on a sale."
The segment combines humor with relatable topics like fashion purchases and the frustrations of missing out on popular items.
True to the podcast's theme, the hosts engage in a riddle-solving session, challenging each other with witty puzzles:
Adol Rifai [16:30]: "What kind of advice can you get from your right hand?"
Aaron Keenan [17:00]: "Masturbating. Don't talk about masturbating."
Adol Rifai [17:55]: "Fingertips."
These exchanges showcase their cleverness and ability to think on their feet, providing listeners with entertaining brain teasers.
One of the standout features of this episode is the improvised scene where JPC and Adol portray a hammer and nail in an office setting, highlighting workplace tensions with a comedic twist:
Adol Rifai [50:31]: "Hey, Adrian, Aaron. I'm not accusing either one of you of doing this."
JPC [52:03]: "Hey, this sucks, but I have to nail you into the board."
This skit exemplifies their improvisational skills, blending humor with exaggerated office stereotypes.
Adding another layer of creativity, Adol introduces puppets styled as ancient evil beings, creating chaotic and humorous interactions:
Adol Rifai [25:47]: "This is Cormor. Cormor. Say hi."
Cormor [25:53]: "I tried to burn me with fire and I came back to life. There's no one controlling me."
The puppet segments infuse the episode with additional humor and unpredictability, keeping the energy lively and engaging.
As the episode nears its conclusion, the hosts reflect on their 350th milestone, expressing gratitude towards their listeners and teasing future content:
JPC [65:17]: "This is the 350th episode of Hey Riddle Riddle. Congratulations, guys."
Aaron Keenan [66:03]: "Can I get a ride? Steve Middler?"
They also promote upcoming live shows and additional content available on their Patreon, emphasizing their commitment to expanding their listener community.
