JPC
He stood on a block of ice. Both of them were goldfish. It was the pattern of an airplane.
Aaron Keenan

JPC
Oh, thank God.
Aaron Keenan
What did you say?

JPC
Hot.
Aaron Keenan
I'm trying to tell you, you have the case of the riddles and it is.

JPC
Did somebody say quesadilla?
Casey Toney
Opens briefcase oh, it's my enemy. Quesadilla man.
JPC
Why can't we be fridge Dan?
Casey Toney
Well, we were once brothers. I salsa man and him, quesadilla man. But then our parents fought and killed each other.
Aaron Keenan
I don't need a backstory for these two guys.
JPC
But that's our parents. Am I wrong? That's our parents. Like, why would that have anything to do any bearing on our relationship?
Aaron Keenan
Dan? Claire at the front desk. Similar asleep right now. Is that why you two were able to get in here?
JPC
She is asleep. She is full of salsas and quesadillas. And that put her right to sleep.
Aaron Keenan
Yep. Okay, I'm trying to focus on my patient. JPC here. He is really sick. Gpc.
JPC
Yes.
Casey Toney
Whoa.
Aaron Keenan
It's gonna make it so much worse.
JPC
Present.
Aaron Keenan
No, I'm not.
JPC
Give me a present.
Aaron Keenan
You know what? Just pay.
Casey Toney
Oh, did someone say they want a present? It's me, Salsa Santa.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, I think I quit Being a doctor. Just pay on your way out. And good luck. Good luck living with riddles.
JPC
Pay who? If your waiter quits in the middle of dinner, you don't pay.
Casey Toney
Wait, do I have riddles?
Aaron Keenan
Well, you will if you hang out with this guy.
Casey Toney
Which guy? Quesadilla Man.
Aaron Keenan
No, jpc.
JPC
No, I don't have riddles. This guy. Who?
Casey Toney
Salsa man?
JPC
No, not my brother. Salsa Man. This guy. Stop looking at me.
Aaron Keenan
While I was setting little fires in every corner of this room to kill.
Casey Toney
Oh, have you read Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Nk? Unbelievable. Oh. Oh. Okay, everyone get on my back. Santa's gonna get us out of this mess. It's all on fire. It's all on. Wait, who is the woman at the front desk asleep?
Aaron Keenan
And Clint.
Casey Toney
Someone grab her.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, so, guys, that is an opening that we could do, but we shouldn't, right?
Casey Toney
What happened to the woman asleep at the desk?
Aaron Keenan
Actually, Adol. It doesn't get any better after that, if you can believe it.
JPC
Maybe it's best we put that opening back in the vault and we check in on it again in a year and see if we want to use it for an episode.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, but the Disney Vault is a really scary place. I mean, we are recording this episode or this opening in November of 2023. So do you feel like in a couple years, if we run out of openings, maybe we pull it out of the vault?
JPC
Speaking of the Disney Vault, when are we going to crack that bad boy open and get the Disney twins back on the podcast? Adam?
Casey Toney
Oh, yeah, pretty soon. I mean, actually, those little guys I'm looking over here in the Disney Vault is actually open. Let me. Oh, God, Bambi. But Thumper killed the mom. There's some really effed up stuff in here.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, let's just lock up this vault. I think Disney Twins ran its course in a way that it's maybe. I don't know, maybe we can go back to it. Let us know in the comments.
Casey Toney
That didn't go where I thought it was going to go, Aaron.
JPC
Not at all. Aaron. I thought you were going the other direct. That's like a David Blaine esque level of misdirection.
Casey Toney
Disney Twins has run its course, so I dare say we should definitely see them again.
JPC
I guess that that makes sense, though. They've read their course, they've taken their break. They've, you know, probably carbo loaded, you know, got some. The. The water with the little salt packets in it, the electrolytes. Yeah, they're ready to come back. Okay.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, I'm Trying to see if, like, the Disney twin is still sort of in my body. If I could access her.
JPC
I'll tell you what. It's not going to be this month. This month is all penguin baseball. We all know this. We all know it's all penguin baseball.
Aaron Keenan
But, you know, the egg is the ball.
JPC
The egg is the ball. Something to keep under consideration. Maybe that's okay.
Casey Toney
I'll do it. Disney twins. July. A July Choco Block full.
Aaron Keenan
Absolutely not.
JPC
Disney twins. All July. Aaron, is that not long enough? Do you want to do all summer?
Aaron Keenan
Should we do all summer?
JPC
Half of August?
Aaron Keenan
Adol. Can you do Disney twins? Go to the Lord of the Rings universe?
Casey Toney
Yes.
Aaron Keenan
Okay. Thank you.
JPC
We can do anything.
Casey Toney
Okay. Saruman would be like, don't burn it. Sorry your mom.
Aaron Keenan
A wizard arrives. Precisely what he means to sir.
JPC
Guys, guys, guys, guys. That's the paid content. We make people pay for that stuff. The good stuff.
Casey Toney
And I. And I say, you can't keep kissing everyone.
JPC
No. Adult. Come. Come on. We're going to do all this stuff again.
Aaron Keenan
I feel like it's already out of my system.
JPC
Yeah, well, what are we going to do, huh? It's already gone. We already.
Aaron Keenan
Riddles.
JPC
I guess if. Yeah, I guess if. If we're. If we're kind of just going to jump right into that. We could just do riddles instead. What do you guys think of that?
Aaron Keenan
Amen, sister. Let's go.
JPC
Amen, sister.
Casey Toney
Go for it, CIS men. Amer. Oops, I botched that sentence.
Aaron Keenan
You got job dyslexic.
JPC
And that's allowed?
Casey Toney
CIS men. Amen.
JPC
It's actually encouraged.
Casey Toney
Amen.
JPC
It's actually fine. No emails about that. It's fine. All right, here we go. You ready for your first riddle?
Aaron Keenan
Sure.
JPC
Oh, this is a hate roll. Roll. This podcast. This JBC is Aaron's adult. It's a podcast. We do riddles and improvising based on riddle. Favorite riddle podcast. Okay.
Aaron Keenan
Have we never given JPC that much redway to talk? It seems like you kind of choked and got nervous.
Casey Toney
I think he needs an oil change.
JPC
Yeah. I feel like no one gives me the redway to talk away from home. I feel weird. Like I'm useless, untethered. The fuck?
Casey Toney
What is this? That's Samwise gmg, Aaron. Back to the Lord of the Rings Disney tours.
Aaron Keenan
Yes.
Casey Toney
So here's what we do.
Aaron Keenan
The ring hurts to carry, sir.
JPC
The ring hurts to carry. Ow. Babies. It's giving me, like, a little ouchies all over my head when I carry the ring of power to Mordor.
Aaron Keenan
Why can't those big eagles fly us there, sir?
JPC
That's the fucking thing about it. I feel like they.
Casey Toney
This trilogy could have been a paragraph.
JPC
I know. They really kind of wrote the big eagles out of the movie because they were like, man, if we introduce the big eagles too early, everyone's just going to be like, yeah. Why didn't they just use the big eagles?
Aaron Keenan
They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard and we're going to go to.
Casey Toney
Am I crazier? Could, like, Tom Bombadil just, like, swallow the ring and he'd be fine.
JPC
Yeah, right? And he's barely in the fucking books.
Casey Toney
Pure magic. That guy's pure magic.
Aaron Keenan
So you've read my fanfic?
JPC
Oh, it's just Tom Bobadil swallowing various things in his little apartment.
Aaron Keenan
I can't believe. I thought we were going to start Riddles at seven minutes. Of course we weren't.
JPC
I tried. I started reading it and it was weird. It was like a.
Casey Toney
Okay, let's hear the rest of the riddle. The rest of it.
JPC
Okay. Away from home. I feel weird. Like I'm useless. Untethered. Right. Is that something I'm just reading? No.
Aaron Keenan
Is that the whole riddle?
JPC
No, there's much more, but I'm scared, Aaron, because what if it's more stuff about my life? It's not much to look at home. I mean, two narrow slits, one little hole. But it's where I belong. When I'm home, I feel great. Such energy. Please take me home.
Aaron Keenan
This was also marble on, like, a track?
JPC
No, it's written like a poem. And I don't think it's. Like, the line breaks are crazy in this. And I think that's just, like, a fun thing that they added.
Aaron Keenan
Is this the type of. Do you think anyone has ever written a poem about this thing before?
JPC
I don't know. How do you guys feel about poetry? I mean, look, I think when poetry is good, it's great, but I think, like, most poetry is, like, one of those things where it felt better as, like, a writing exercise. You know, like, write it, use it. But, like, books of poems. I gotta say, some of that stuff could have been left on the cutting room floor.
Aaron Keenan
I don't know if this is gonna sound condescending, but I truly don't mean it in that way. I am so jealous of people who, like, write and then publish a book of their poetry. Like, to think, oh, yeah. To be so sure that you, like, other people are going to enjoy poetry that you write is like the kind of confidence I wish I had.
Casey Toney
It does feel, if poetry feels the most, like modern, like art. Like art galleries kind of thing, where it's like, there's a painting, somebody tapes a banana to a canvas, and half the population is like, brilliant. Half the population's like, I could do that.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, I love banana canvas.
Casey Toney
Aaron.
Aaron Keenan
Love banana canvas.
JPC
Jason Banana canvas. He has a name, Aaron. He's not just his art.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, sorry, sorry.
JPC
Can you imagine turning in a book of poetry to a publisher and then being like, wow, this is really good. And then you thinking, like, how the fuck would you know?
Casey Toney
I do wanna see a seed.
Aaron Keenan
Great.
Casey Toney
Aaron, you are meeting with a publisher. You have a book of poems that you wrote, and you're trying to convince this person to publish your book of poems. Jpc. You're the publisher.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron Keenan
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
JPC
Oh, yes. You're my 2:30.
Aaron Keenan
Sorry, that was the beginning of my poem.
JPC
Oh, okay. Yeah. Does your poem begin in the hallway? Come into the office, and then we can kind of sit down. Make yourself comfortable.
Aaron Keenan
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, Goes my hand on the door. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. Who am I anymore? Sorry. You're looking at your computer.
JPC
Yeah, I'm just. I was going on your LinkedIn just to verify that you were the person. Because you didn't introduce yourself or anything like that. And we've never spoken, but, yes, this is. Yeah, you're Kate.
Aaron Keenan
No, technically, I didn't have an appointment with you today, but I did shove Kate into a janitor's closet so I could speak to you.
JPC
Well, you look.
Aaron Keenan
Sorry. This is part of the poem. Okay, I am Kate. I'm Kate.
JPC
Okay. Is this a part of the conversation or part of the poem? Hey, pause. We'll pause. So, I gotta say, I read your manuscript. Your.
Aaron Keenan
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock.
JPC
Well, hold on. Cause we're still talking. We're not going into the poems. And in fact, I don't need you to because I did read it. I'm a publisher and I did read the book already.
Aaron Keenan
Who is Kate anyway? Is Kate a horse? Is Kate an idea? Or is Kate a woman in an office?
JPC
One of the things that I had a question about in the middle of the poem. Well, yeah, but you should be with your poems. Is that the very first stanza in the book set up a rhyming scheme? Nothing else in the book appears to rhyme. And I know poetry doesn't have to rhyme, but I kind of believe it should.
Aaron Keenan
It took a long time to figure out that one rhyme.
JPC
A lot of Time to figure out that one rhyme. Uh, okay. Yeah. Well.
Aaron Keenan
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. You're two 30s here.
JPC
Yes.
Aaron Keenan
Knock, knock, knock, knock knock.
JPC
Yeah. Kate. Yes. It's you. Yes, yes. You're my 230.
Aaron Keenan
Well, Kate, I've never been interrupted by a man this much before in the middle of a poem. This is insane.
JPC
I don't know that you should be doing the poem.
Aaron Keenan
That's part of the poem. This is also part of the poem.
Casey Toney
Scene.
Aaron Keenan
That hurt to do to say.
JPC
That you're being interrupted by a man when you just are reading a poem to someone unprompted. Would you stop interrupting this poem?
Aaron Keenan
You guys, I have an earache that I think is an ear infection from my crew sickness that will not go away. And so I'm kind of the. Is it Carrie Shrug who landed on one foot at the Olympics?
Casey Toney
Carrie Strug?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, Strug. Yeah.
JPC
So I'm just thinking of Kathy Shrug.
Aaron Keenan
So everything I'm doing today I'm doing sort of with a. Like. It's amazing that I even made it through that scene. I'm amazing is what I'm trying to say, Aaron.
Casey Toney
Just like Carrie Strugg. I believe that's her name. JPC and I are your Eastern bloc coaches in jackets. No, wait, she was a. Barrick was her coach. A very kid. Yeah. So we're in like American flag jackets and we're cheering you on. We're so proud of you. And we carry you off the floor, I think. Cause you broke your ankle or something.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, I have an earache and I broke my ankle in the middle of that scene is what I'm trying to convey to you guys.
Casey Toney
1992 was so long ago.
JPC
Adel and I are more like Jeff Gillooli. And what's the other guy's name? The guy.
Casey Toney
Who was the guy?
JPC
Well, the guy there was. It was Gilluli and another guy were the guys.
Casey Toney
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
Is it a train? I'm trying to think of the answer to this riddle.
JPC
Oh, no, it's not a train.
Casey Toney
My home is two slots in a hole.
JPC
Two slots in a hole. Two narrow slits.
Casey Toney
Two narrow slits in a hole.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, it's like a plug, Aaron.
JPC
Yes, it is an electrical plug.
Aaron Keenan
I'd like to see a scene.
Casey Toney
Aaron, you are the Carrie Strugga of this episode. You're doing it. Gold medal.
Aaron Keenan
My ankle. Adol. You are the electrical outlet in jbc. You're the plug. And Adol. You're like, I can't believe he's coming back. It's like coming back and asking for more money. He's coming back to sort of steal your resources again.
Casey Toney
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up, back up, back up, back up.
JPC
Baby, baby, what do you want? Just a little juice, baby.
Casey Toney
No, no. No more juice. You've had.
JPC
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Casey Toney
You've had your fill, okay? I gave you juice. You. You left in the middle of the night. You didn't say thank you. You just yanked out.
JPC
You gave me juice. You had a good time. I didn't hear anybody complaining when you was having such a good time.
Casey Toney
Did I say I didn't have a good time? I'm just saying you left with no thank you.
JPC
Why get upset when everybody had a good time? And now I'm back for a little more Juice to power iPhone 14 Max.
Casey Toney
Max. Yeah, well, barely hold. Do you think I'm stupid?
Aaron Keenan
Are you getting me the juice?
JPC
Hold on. I'm working on it, baby. I don't even know why. I don't even know why iPhone 14 max is calling me baby. I just. I work as a co worker of mine.
Casey Toney
Are you talking to me?
JPC
Yeah, yeah, I'm telling you. I don't know why she's calling me baby when I just. I work with her, baby.
Aaron Keenan
I'm at 12%.
JPC
Come back, baby.
Casey Toney
12%. That's gonna. You're gonna. It's gonna take a while to get her there.
JPC
Well, yeah, if we're still talking. Hey, you know what? Here's an idea. Me, you. Come on, iPhone 14. Max.
Casey Toney
Not again.
JPC
Not. We all have a good time.
Aaron Keenan
Come on, baby. I wanna scroll. I wanna watch videos. And that drains the battery, baby.
JPC
All right, what's it gonna take once I'm in? You want me to jiggle it around a little bit?
Casey Toney
Yeah, we should jiggle it around a little bit.
JPC
You want me to go it upside down? You want me to go it upside down? I'll go it upside down for you.
Aaron Keenan
You better not be getting juice from anywhere else. You told me that you create the juice.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, I create the juice through my connections and kind of like my general vibe.
Aaron Keenan
I knew it, you dirt bag.
JPC
Oh, hey, don't spit. Do not spit near an electrical outlet. You'll kill us all. You. Oh, you crazy motherfucker. This crazy. Trying to kill us all.
Aaron Keenan
I'll just plug right into the wall to get juice.
JPC
What? Oh, my God, it's working. Oh, no. Oh, no. The iPhone's just plugged into the wall.
Aaron Keenan
What are you gonna do about it?
Casey Toney
Me?
JPC
It's just working. Just rub it together. Is it working?
Aaron Keenan
I don't. Hey, hey, hey. What is the answer to this riddle? Balloon. Oh, no, we already got it. It's the outlet. My brain was still thinking about it during that whole scene.
JPC
I was like, what is the answer to this riddle? Balloon.
Aaron Keenan
That's never happened to me before.
JPC
Balloon. What a guess. Balloon. You didn't even know what you were guessing. No.
Aaron Keenan
Balloon.
JPC
I was a famous captain at another time. Now I wait around all day at the end of someone's line. This is fun. This is a silly one.
Casey Toney
Now I wait around all day at the end of someone else's line.
JPC
At the end of someone's line.
Casey Toney
Is this like a fishing setup?
JPC
Yeah, you're close. You're close. I would say it's kind of like a fishing setup.
Aaron Keenan
A worm.
Casey Toney
Captain Worm.
JPC
Captain Worm.
Aaron Keenan
Captain Worm.
JPC
Is it Captain Worm, one of the most famous pirates? All right, I do want to see a scene. Adel, you gotta be Adol, you're playing Captain Worm. You're playing Captain Worm. And Aaron and I are your like two of the pirates on your ship, your famous pirate ship.
Casey Toney
Attention. All right, line up. Line up here, you mucky mucks. You creepy fucked your mucky mucks. It is I, Captain Worm. Hold for applause.
JPC
That's right, Nari. Captain, we can't be applauded because most of us have hooks.
Casey Toney
Yeah, that was a test. You passed.
Aaron Keenan
Captain. I. I'm new to the ship, Yar and fresh meat. All I see is sort of a big captain's hat that I assume is maybe a small worm is underneath it. You're sounding a little muffled, sir, is what I'm trying to get at.
Casey Toney
Yar, you assume there's a small worm under the hat. You never thought that it could be medium sized or medium large?
Aaron Keenan
Yar, the biggest worm, sir, I'm sure. But still, to fit under the hat.
Casey Toney
Yar, that's what part of this ship is about is trust me, laddie. If you trust that there is a worm under the hat that is magical and who is bringing us all to heaven, then only then can we accomplish our mission.
JPC
Yar. Yar, I trust. I've been on the ship many years and I trust the worm implicitly. Captain. What's on the agendar today?
Casey Toney
On the agendar today from me, the magical worm that lives under the captain's hat that you should never see. Never lift up the hat to see who's taking us all to heaven.
JPC
Yeah, we won't see heaven if we see the worm.
Casey Toney
Okay, okay, I assume we swabbed the Decks. Okay, I assume we swabbed the decks. Second up on the list today. Bring me your wives so I can fuck em.
Aaron Keenan
What? Oh, sir, our. Yeah, you're on the deck, yar, so I thought perhaps you could tell if we had swabbed it or not. What did you say about our wives, sir?
Casey Toney
I said, bring me ye wives so I can meet them.
JPC
Not really a big wife industry, yar. I mean. I mean, I know I don't have a wife. New guy, do you have a wife or.
Aaron Keenan
Yar, I. Sorry to keep. Yeah, no wife. Keep digging at this. But I have to ask five pirates to join us, and if they don't join, then I don't get paid. Yar.
Casey Toney
Yar, that's the way the pirate system works if you want to get to heaven. Hey, listen, if you don't want to get to heaven, we can turn this boat right around and go back to Lisbon and all go on our merry way.
JPC
I want to get to heaven. That's why I brought this pirate aboard. You know the crew. I'm fulfilling my quotar.
Casey Toney
Hey, real quick. Sometimes I'm hearing gnars, sometimes I'm hearing yars under this hat. As a magical worm, these sound very similar. Can we switch to, like, yes and no? Cause yar and ARR are just so close.
JPC
Y. Yeah. Yes. Y.
Aaron Keenan
Ya, Captain Worm.
JPC
I.
Aaron Keenan
Is it.
JPC
Can't do it.
Aaron Keenan
True, Ladou. We have a volleyball tournament on the ship this week, Yarce.
Casey Toney
Yars, it is true. And there's a grand prize. A grand prize for whatever team brings the beach to its feet.
JPC
ARR. I hope it's getting to go to heaven. That's really the only reason I do all of this.
Aaron Keenan
I want to lift up the hat, and I want to see the worm.
JPC
No, we must never. If you lift up the hat and you see the worm, you're not going to heaven. That's what the worm told us.
Casey Toney
The grand prize is you give me all your earthly possessions, and I shall tend to them, and you shall live a life of piety before you enter heaven through the gates that only a magical worm under a captain's hat can provide. Never lift up the hat, y'all.
Aaron Keenan
Is this a cult?
JPC
Well, of course it's a cult.
Aaron Keenan
See?
Casey Toney
No, Dar.
JPC
No, Dar. It's the magic worm. Captain Worm with the hat.
Aaron Keenan
A cult leader. I'm dead.
JPC
But do you guys have a guess for what the answer could be?
Aaron Keenan
Oh, my God. Balloon.
Casey Toney
Oh. Can you read the riddle one more time?
JPC
I can, but you are so close. I was a Famous Captain at another time. Now I wait around all day at the end of someone's den.
Casey Toney
Hook, it's Captain. Oh, duh.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, Casey, can you hop on the mic really quick?
Casey Toney
Uh oh, Casey's in trouble.
E
Uh oh.
Casey Toney
It's.
E
I only mentioned it because it's the first time it's happened. Yeah, or the first time in years.
Aaron Keenan
Casey, can you read what you just sent to our chat on the side, please?
E
I said because there was more hesitant because you said balloon or something. I said, I got this one instantly. Well, but now, now you're not going to believe me because Adol got the right answer.
JPC
Well, I. When they said Captain Worm, Casey, they both hit Captain Worm so quickly. I was like, surely they must be. Surely, surely they must know it's kept it Hook.
E
Um, okay, Aaron, do you want to chastise me for.
Aaron Keenan
No, I just. I wanted you to hear it from me directly that. That hurt my feelings.
E
Yes, I thought as well, I thought as my friend you'd be happy for me that I got one of these riddles ever.
JPC
Well, Casey, that's not what we're doing here. Because you. Your role is the audience surrogate. So as the audience surrogate, I kindly invite you to shut the fuck up. Whoa.
E
But as the. As the audience surrogate, aren't I supposed to be pissed and messaging you guys that I got the riddle faster than you?
Casey Toney
Oh yeah, Isn't that kind of what.
Aaron Keenan
He has a point. Okay, you're swaying the jury.
JPC
We'll do a whole episode where we task Casey. We give him the job to think of any joke that we may have missed and live during the episode. Comment. Like, you guys could have also said this or you could have done this.
Aaron Keenan
Casey, are you willing to do that for the next five to ten minutes of this recording?
JPC
Casey, it's a bad. It's a bad thing. You shouldn't want to do it.
E
No.
JPC
Take your. Yeah, there you go.
Aaron Keenan
There you go. There you go. All right, Casey, you are free to go blank.
Casey Toney
Blank was right there. Okay, I have a quick question. Is it because I haven't interacted with this IP in a while and my brain can't make sense of it. Is it Never Neverland? Or is it Never Everland?
Aaron Keenan
Never Never Land.
Casey Toney
Never Never Land. And do we know what that means?
JPC
I think this might be Baron stained Bears. Like we can't know.
Casey Toney
Okay?
Aaron Keenan
You never grow up.
Casey Toney
You never, never, never, never grow up.
Aaron Keenan
You never, never grow up. I think.
JPC
But it's a double negative, right? Never, never.
Casey Toney
So you do grow up. You grow up real fast.
Aaron Keenan
Casey, what would the audience say?
JPC
Well, it's Never Never Land. So it's not land. No, it is land.
Aaron Keenan
It's Never Never Land.
Casey Toney
But Captain Hook is on a boat which is in the water, so it's not land. It's never.
JPC
It's not on land.
Casey Toney
Neverland, Never Never Land.
JPC
I think it's probably Never Ever Land.
Aaron Keenan
Our audience doesn't know either, so that's good.
JPC
Yeah, our audience during it has no idea. All right, you ready for your next one? You guys got that one. Really? Well, great job.
E
Hello, audience. As audience surrogate, I can tell you that the whole time, I did know that it was, at least within the modern Peter Pan canon, just Neverland, not Never Never Land or Never Ever Land. But much like the audience, when perceived by the members of the cast, I grew bashful and afraid and decided to be quiet instead.
Casey Toney
Oh, I think it's Never. I think it is Never Neverland. Because now I'm thinking of Metallica, and they have that song where they're, like, off to Never Never Land. So I think it is Never Never. Thank you, Metallica.
JPC
Thank you, Metallica.
Aaron Keenan
Thank you, Metallica.
Casey Toney
I feel like once a year, we just need a blanket. Thank you to Metallica.
Aaron Keenan
Riddles feel hard today?
JPC
I think I may have done this one. If this one sounds familiar, it looks familiar to me. So that's full disclosure.
Aaron Keenan
Okay.
JPC
I'm the high sky rider I am the space skimmer I am the cloud borer I am the earth scanner the long looker Monarch of the unseen winds Monarch of unseen winds I should say my song is a scream Silence is my shadow and feared I fall like a bomb with blood in my breath Where I land, there is death.
Casey Toney
Whoa.
JPC
Thank you, Metallica.
Aaron Keenan
Sky darts.
Casey Toney
Just let the sky dart.
JPC
Aaron, it is not sky darts. Although patent pending.
Casey Toney
Oh, I love him. All his stand up.
JPC
So fun.
Casey Toney
Ratatouille.
Aaron Keenan
Piercer.
Casey Toney
Let the sky dart. Is this like a satellite or a moon?
JPC
All darts are sky darts. If you can throw them high enough.
Aaron Keenan
Or drop them from a high enough height.
JPC
From high enough.
Casey Toney
Is that what we think comets are? Is like the gods playing darts?
JPC
Oh, when you say we, do you mean primitive man or.
Casey Toney
Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
JPC
Al and I both consider ourselves primitive men.
Casey Toney
Australopithecus, if you will. I will.
Aaron Keenan
You know that how people were like, there's a 2% chance that a comet hits Earth in, like, 2032.
Casey Toney
Oh, yeah.
Aaron Keenan
What would you. If they were like, it's definitely gonna hit. We can't really get it off course or anything. How, what are you doing that last week?
Casey Toney
What would you do if your son was at home crying all alone because a comet's coming to kill him?
JPC
So is the.
Aaron Keenan
So you have to leave the karaoke bar. Sir, sir, give me the, give me the mic.
JPC
Is the premise behind the comet, Aaron, that it's going to hit and it's definitely gonna kill everybody or is it like, is it gonna blow up the earth? Okay, so it's, it's, it's, it is 0% chance of survival, Armageddon type of thing.
Casey Toney
Yeah, I think also, Aaron, they posted it was like 2% chance and then I think they said it doubled.
JPC
Whoa.
Casey Toney
So now I think it's 4% chance that a comet hits in 20, 32 or something.
Aaron Keenan
Good, good.
JPC
Okay. So with the comet that's coming and it's going to hit the earth and it's going to just, you know, wipe out all life and annihilate everything. How long do I, do I have 10 years or like, do I have until 20? Well, 32, I guess that's seven years or. Yeah, but do, do I. When do I know for sure that it's happening? Like how, how much, how much lead up time?
Aaron Keenan
I say that up until like eight months before they think maybe they can like do a missile to get it off course or explode it in space, something. And then I would say maybe you have six months where they know it's going to hit. But they probably lie to us and say so there wasn't like bedlam for.
JPC
Yeah, they'd probably, it'd probably be more like six weeks.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, six weeks. Let's do six weeks.
JPC
Six weeks. Okay. How quickly do I think I can convert to every religion?
Aaron Keenan
That is such a good question.
JPC
How many religions?
Aaron Keenan
That would be a great movie.
JPC
I'm gonna do the big three. Well, let's do the big two. Christianity, Islam. Get that, get those.
Aaron Keenan
Scientology.
JPC
Scientology. That one's gonna be a little harder. It's probably more of a process. Do that one for sure. That probably. I wanna start that one early.
Casey Toney
Is this a pascal's wager situation?
JPC
But then it's, do I have to get all of the different types of Christianity or can I just be like.
Aaron Keenan
I think like, Jesus is cool.
JPC
Born again Christian. Got it. Jesus is cool.
Casey Toney
Maybe not the son of God, but cool.
JPC
Yeah, cool.
Aaron Keenan
Do one that's like, Jesus is cool.
JPC
You gotta do Islam, gotta do Allah, you know, probably cool with Muhammad as well. Judaism, I could do that one as well.
Aaron Keenan
That seems a direct Conflict of the Christianity. But that's fine.
JPC
They're all kind of at conflict with each other.
Casey Toney
Hinduism, I think you gotta take that by some.
JPC
Jainism. Then I get some animism in there.
Casey Toney
You know, like wacko Yakko Dot.
Aaron Keenan
Mormonism, definitely.
JPC
Well, but that's a Christian, right? Well, it's kind of not. I guess I want to do Mormonism just to kind of like cover all my bases. Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Mix it some old school ways.
Casey Toney
I do want to see a seed.
Aaron Keenan
Yep.
Casey Toney
Jpc, you have converted successfully to all religions, and you've become the most sort of spiritually endowed man on earth. Aaron, you have gone on a pilgrimage to seek advice from JPC's spiritually endowed man. And you have just reached his. His. His sort of altar to talk to him.
Aaron Keenan
Wow. I have been looking forward to this so much. I want to ask you a thousand questions.
JPC
I have as well. I am always looking forward to meet a person who I have never met before.
Aaron Keenan
Tur, you. Are you playing on a Nintendo Switch right now?
JPC
This is a Steam deck. It's like a Nintendo Switch. It's bigger and it has a wider catalog of games that you can play.
Aaron Keenan
Sorry. I'll come back for when you're not busy.
JPC
I'm always going to be playing on the Steam deck, even when it's low on batteries. It's got a very long cord to charge. I'll just plug it in.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, okay. So I get it.
JPC
You've probably traveled a long way, a great distance to be here with me now.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, I did. And I'm understanding now that you're trying to teach me that it's okay to indulge in earthly pleasures.
JPC
No, no, no. I do not teach. For teaching is the work of the Lord. I merely ask questions. I ask that you also, if you're gonna come visit, pick up chick fil a. I'm seeing a bag.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, sorry. I got the mail from them.
JPC
You did? You did get the Chick fil A?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
JPC
You got the waffle fries?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
JPC
With the ranch dressing?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
JPC
And the mayonnaise?
Aaron Keenan
Yes. And I figured it was some sort of test and that you were gonna, like, not eat it in front of me.
JPC
To be like, yeah, I'm gonna eat it in front of you. I'm gonna eat it in front of you. And I'd share, but I don't want to.
Aaron Keenan
But I got, like, enough for both of us.
JPC
Oh, then you're more than welcome to eat.
Casey Toney
Teach.
JPC
Amanda. Fish, Jesus, Kobe.
Casey Toney
Seen.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, my God.
Casey Toney
I love the most Spiritually enlightened being on earth. Second minute of talking to anyone. Did you bring Chick Fil a Kobe. Kobe.
JPC
It's saying Jesus like you say Kobe. I just didn't know how that was coming across.
Casey Toney
Next time I throw something in the waste bin, I wad up a piece of paper. I'm going to go, Jesus.
JPC
Okay. Oh, no, we didn't get this one yet. Oh, did you say.
Aaron Keenan
Let'S take a break?
JPC
All right, Eric, we can take a break. I'll let you take a break. You're going to come back to doing this riddle, though. You got to finish this.
Aaron Keenan
Let's just get it then.
JPC
Now let's take a break. Hey, let's take a quick break. Give Erin enough time to forget that she's doing a riddle and be right back with more riddles. Yes. So all you have to do, basically, if you want to use my platform is you put your money in the dog's mouth and the dog will eat your money and save the money and then a little interest will happen. I can't give you the nuts and bolts behind what goes on inside the dog.
Aaron Keenan
As tempting as this is, I think I'm gonna keep using Found.
Casey Toney
Yeah, I'm gonna use Found as well. I don't trust that dog or gpc.
Aaron Keenan
Found is a business banking platform that lets you effortlessly track expenses, manage invoices, and prepare for taxes. And I don't know what this dog does, but it is not that.
JPC
First of all, it's not a dog and it's not gpc. It's obviously the middler. I don't know who this JPC is, although I do know who he is. He's that guy right there. Hey, I'm also. Yeah, I'm also here. And this is Hound. And Hound is a better way.
Casey Toney
No, no, no, no. Found.
Aaron Keenan
With Found, you can even set aside money for different business goals and control spending with different virtual cards.
Casey Toney
I personally have saved so much money because Found helps me identify tax write offs. And I've saved so much time that I can now devote to chasing new opportunities and doing the work I enjoy. Like not putting my money in a dog's mouth.
JPC
Yeah, the only thing that you're chasing with Hound Midler is that dog to try to get the money out of his guts. I want to say.
Aaron Keenan
Yep.
JPC
Oh, and by the way, Midler, other small businesses are loving Found too. This Found user said Found is going to save me so much headache. It makes everything so much easier. Expenses, income, profits, taxes, invoices even. And found has 30,000 five star reviews just like this.

JPC
Wait, you explore the world every spring?
Casey Toney
Yeah, every spring, every fall, every summer, every winter.
JPC
I do like a little bit of light gardening sometimes. If I feel like it.
Casey Toney
My dear's vacation season is nearly upon us this year I'm treating myself to the luxe upgrades I deserve with Quint's high quality travel essentials at fair prices.
Aaron Keenan
I love quints. I go to them for all of my basics. I recently got a purple skirt from them that I've worn almost every day this week because I love it, not because I'm too lazy to not do my laundry. I do love this purple skirt.
JPC
I got a lightweight hoodie from Quint that is awesome. It's like the perfect mid season weight thing. It's like, it's light enough that it's not going to be like hot all summer, but it also gives like full arm coverage. I'm a huge fan of a lightweight.
Casey Toney
Hoodie and what I love is that Quince only works with factories that use safe, ethical and responsible manufacturing practices in premium fabrics and finishes.
JPC

Aaron Keenan
Say better, you say help. I say better, and you say Aaron.
Casey Toney
Help.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, sorry, Aaron.
JPC
Hey, sorry. Adol. He felt on a well.
Aaron Keenan
Oh.
JPC
Emotionally.
Aaron Keenan
Okay. You gotta be careful how you word things.
Casey Toney
I broke my emotional ankles.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, well. Adel, have you tried BetterHelp?
Casey Toney
Oh.
JPC
Oh, yeah. Adel. BetterHelp.

JPC
Yeah. And if your emotional well. Let's see if I can land this plane. If your emotional well is full, then you might want to use therapy as a way to kind of talk through some of those issues. Sometimes it can be helpful just to talk things out, to hear yourself saying them. Therapy is not about solving, you know, specific problems, but it's about giving you tools so that you can, you know, kind of help solve your own issues as you go into the future.
Casey Toney
Wow. Life is a well is what you're saying.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
JPC
And your well being is worth it. Wow. We landed it.
Aaron Keenan
You're welcome.
JPC
Yes.
Casey Toney
Well, well, well, well.
JPC
Okay, we're landing it. Too much. Does that make sense?
Aaron Keenan
This kind of therapy has worked really well for me in the past. I like being able to message my counselor and have them get back to me with a timely response rather than having to like, wait all week to talk to them. I love it. And if you've taken a long break from therapy or have you never tried it before, why not now?

Aaron Keenan
No, we're very far away.
Casey Toney
Okay, bye, guys.
JPC
Okay, are you ready for your next riddle?
Casey Toney
We didn't solve the last one.
JPC
Adol. Very good. Yes, very good. Gold star.
Aaron Keenan
I knew that too. I just wasn't bragging about it because I'm not a teacher's pet.
Casey Toney
Jesus.
JPC
Doing this out of the cross. Jesus. You're right. You're not a teacher's pet, Aaron. You're just teacher's favorite case. Charity case. Really. I feel like I'm getting into heaven working on you, Aaron. Jesus, I am the High Sky Rider.
Aaron Keenan
I feel like I'm getting into heaven. Working on you is really funny.
Casey Toney
Bethlehem Mamba.
JPC
Oh, what would you do with your six weeks, Aaron?
Aaron Keenan
I'd probably hang out with you guys.
JPC
Wow. Would you guys. Serious question. Would you continue doing the podcast?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
Genuinely? No, I said yeah.
JPC
Oh, I thought Adol said no.
Casey Toney
No, I said yeah.
JPC
Okay, good.
Aaron Keenan
Because, like, what else am I doing? Looting, Panicking? No, I won't let you guys down.
JPC
Okay. Serious question, though. Sometimes we record, like, a week in advance just to make our schedules easier. Would you record that extra episode? Do you like the one that you.
Aaron Keenan
Just in case.
JPC
Yeah, it might come out.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah. But I'd be kind of pissed off if it was good. If you were really cooking. No one is listening to Hayward O'Riddle in their last week on Earth, though.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
So we should. Yeah.
JPC
The last day before the earth is destroyed. Your podcast app is like, okay, Haberda Riddle, put out another episode.
Casey Toney
And you're like, ooh, but Doughboys are reviewing Zaxby's.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, I saw Asians decisions.
JPC
Taco Bell 14 on the doughboys.
Casey Toney
Or I only have two hours left to live. Oh, let's see what Taco Bell 3 is.
JPC
Hey, man, I'm sorry. If you only got two hours left, you don't have enough time to listen to a Doughboys episode. We make it tight for y'all. An hour in and out.
Casey Toney
Keep it toit.
Aaron Keenan
I will say, being on that show, it did, it felt, it flew by. When you're there, it feels short.
JPC
Adol, what are you doing for your last six weeks?
Casey Toney
I think I'm going to do a My Name is Earl style. Never saw the show, but My name Is Earl style situation. Where doesn't he go around and try and do good things like correct past wrongs or something?
Aaron Keenan
I think so, yeah.
JPC
Cause it's a karma. Karma fucks him over. And so he's trying to get his karma back in balance.
Casey Toney
I think I go visit my cousins and be like, sorry, I haven't talked to you guys in 15 years. I love you guys.
JPC
Stuff like that.
Casey Toney
Stuff like that.
JPC
Okay, let me ask specifically with the cousins, though, do you think. Are they upset at you that you haven't talked to them in 15 years, or is it just fine? But you're just like, I'm just gonna see some family I haven't seen.
Casey Toney
Here's the thing. My. The keyboard works both ways, right? So they could reach out to me at any time.
Aaron Keenan
They could write me a song whenever.
JPC
I got a cousin. In Chicago that I don't talk to enough. Just like hammer sweating like meatloaf. Just like hammering out like a rock.
Aaron Keenan
So funny.
Casey Toney
But the whole. The whole point of it is to feel good about myself and to make them feel bad because they're like, whoa. Adol was the bigger man. He reached out and then I'm. And then I'm smug and I'm like, take me now.
JPC
Yeah, I think it would probably be kind of chaos outside. I think it'd be bedlam. But I do think that there are some crimes that I've been meaning to get to.
Aaron Keenan
Like, I would.
JPC
What's that?
Aaron Keenan
What crimes?
Casey Toney
Pissing of pot bellies.
JPC
Yeah, See? Couple of arsons. Oh, God. What kind of crimes, man? I mean, that's such a good question. I don't know. Do you have a crime? You know what I wouldn't hate doing? I wouldn't mind taking a. At the President of the United States.
Casey Toney
Of America, that's for sure.
Aaron Keenan
Whoa.
JPC
No, no, no, I wouldn't. The President. I would merely give him some sort of explosive and then diarrhea.
Aaron Keenan
Gpc.
JPC
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Aaron Keenan
They're not gonna let us back in the country if we ever go on tour in Canada. Hope you're happy.
JPC
I think it's fine. I think people are saying way worse stuff in Canada specifically, too. Yeah. I don't know. I'd do some shoplifting. I'd say. Probably do some looting. General looting, you know?
Aaron Keenan
General looting. There's people here to see you.
JPC
General Looting's office is a mess.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
JPC
Clean it up. General looting. Do you want me to read the riddle again, or do you just want to, like, guess? Balloon, A question.
Aaron Keenan
I have no idea what the riddle was.
JPC
I am the high sky rider. I'm the space skimmer. I'm the cloud borer. I'm the earth scanner. My long looker. The long looker. Monarch of unseen winds. My song is a scream. Silent is my shadow and feared I fall like a bomb with blood in my breath. Where I land, there is death.
Aaron Keenan
Eagle.
Casey Toney
Is this just Steve Miller band lyrics?
JPC
Oh, yeah, Eagle really does sound like. It's not an eagle, Aaron, but it's basically an eagle. It's a different. I would say bird of prey.
Casey Toney
Hawk.
JPC
It is a hawk.
Aaron Keenan
Oh.
JPC
Whatever happened to that hawk to a girl? I'm sorry, what were you gonna say, Aaron?
Aaron Keenan
Were you gonna say we talked about her so much?
JPC
Whatever happened to that hawk to a girl?
Aaron Keenan
I'd like to see a scene. Adol. You're an eagle. JPC You're a hawk. And you guys are sort of at a bar and you're trying to, like, out do the other one, how cool you were and powerful.
Casey Toney
Yeah. So that's a picture of my baby. My baby's two eggs in a nest like this. Yeah.
JPC
Yeah. Cute. Cute. Two. Two feels, two feels low.
Casey Toney
What?
JPC
Two feels.
Casey Toney
What?
JPC
Two feels low for a number of eggs.
Casey Toney
Well, a snake grabbed two of them, so. But that's fine. Oh, and this is my beautiful wife. This is Deborah.
JPC
Yeah.
Casey Toney
She's a hawk, buzzard mix.
JPC
She's a what?
Casey Toney
She's a husband. He's a hawk, buzzard mix.
JPC
First of all, we all know what a hazard is. It's a hawk, buzzard mix.
Casey Toney
Okay.
JPC
But a. Like a mule. They're infertile, you know?
Casey Toney
Infertile. Infertile.
JPC
What do you mean? You married a half hawk.
Casey Toney
I marry the half hawk. What is your problem?
JPC
You don't see me going around dating the eagles.
Casey Toney
What?
JPC
Is that what you want? You want me to go d. Eagles? What's that?
Casey Toney
But you're an eagle. What are you talking about?
Aaron Keenan
No, you're. You switch them.
JPC
You're an eagle.
Casey Toney
I'm an eagle?
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
Casey Toney
Wait a minute. Give me another drink. Hey, hold on.
Aaron Keenan
No, I'm cutting you off.
JPC
Sam, give us a mirror as well, and a dictionary. We're getting to the bottom of this. All right, I want to know what he is, what I am, what his. And I got to say 10 out of 10 smoke show wife is.
Casey Toney
Wait a minute. I'm looking in the mirror. And why are you holding up a picture of my eggs? And you're holding up a picture of my wife? And why are you moving your arms wings. When I'm moving my arms wings. Wait.
JPC
Everyone else at this bar is like, hey, don't talk to the crazy eagle who's looking at a mirror having a conversation with himself.
Casey Toney
Wait. Nobody could move that fast with my movements. That must be me. Give me that dictionary.
JPC
Wait, you mean that eagle with a broom. With a. It's a broom with the head of a mop. That he's calling his wife that eagle over there.
Aaron Keenan
Closing time, Dr.
JPC
Dunce.
Casey Toney
Eagle. Webster's dictionary defines. Why does Webster's dictionary say. Webster's dictionary defines seed.
Aaron Keenan
Hey, guys, gotta go home.
JPC
All right, you got it. It was a hawk. Strange it is that I have no tail or head. Strange it is that I have no legs that I pull on my hot yellow robe, dive between two soft pillows and disappear into the dark red cave. Okay, Aaron, how do we feel? Getting horny yet?
Aaron Keenan
Never been less horny.
Casey Toney
Dive beneath those yellow pillows.
JPC
Never been. It can't be possible. You've probably been less horny. You've been.
Casey Toney
No head.
JPC
No, I got, like a funeral or something.
Aaron Keenan
Don't speak for me. Can you read it again?
JPC
Strange it is that I have no tail or head. Strange it is that I have no legs. That I pull on my hot yellow robe, dive between two soft pillows, and disappear into the dark red cave.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, it's a hot dog.
JPC
It's a hot dog.
Aaron Keenan
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a hot dog.
JPC
Let me ask you a question, though. It says that I pull on my hot yellow robe. Is that mustard?
Aaron Keenan
No. Isn't it like the bun?
JPC
Well, it says dive between two soft pillows is next. I'm assuming that's the bun, but hot yellow. That the only yellow?
Casey Toney
Is that like the encasing. Like the encasing the sausage goes into. But it's not yellow. It's.
JPC
Yeah, it's like translucent, right?
Casey Toney
Yeah.
JPC
I don't know.
Aaron Keenan
I don't know.
JPC
I don't know.
Aaron Keenan
I still got it, though, Aaron.
JPC
You still got it, even though you don't know what the hot yellow robe is. So, judges. Ooh. We can't give you the point, Aaron.
Aaron Keenan
Because you don't know. I know what it is. I just am not saying.
JPC
Aaron, say it. If you know what the hot yellow robe is, say it. Casey. Casey. Audience during it, do we. Do you want to take a stab at the hot yellow robe? Do we know.
E
Wait, was it mustard? Did somebody say mustard?
JPC
This is. This is about how engaged our audience actually is. They're like, you should have said mustard. And we're like. We said mustard seven times. What do you mean we should have said mustard? Casey got also peek behind the curtain. Casey keeps his video off when we're on these recordings. You don't know if he's actually fucking listening. He could be doing Guy.
Aaron Keenan
I don't think he should or has to.
Casey Toney
He's playing Steam Deck for sure.
JPC
It's gotta be Steam Deck. It's gotta be Steam Deck.
Aaron Keenan
It's not sustainable to have to work for the show for so long and have to listen to it. No way. No way. Don't listen, Casey. Don't listen. Listen for your name.
JPC
It does make his. I feel like it does kind of make his job easier because he has context when he goes and sound designs these episodes. But now I'm wondering if he didn't even hear Us say mustard. What the fuck is he actually doing?
Aaron Keenan
No.
JPC
Should we make him turn his video on? Should we make him do this with his video on?
Casey Toney
Yeah, I think so.
JPC
See his disinterested gaze just go.
Aaron Keenan
It would be so funny if you were fully on a roller coaster when you turn your video back on.
E
That would be incredible.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
It's good to see you, Casey. Sorry we're picking on you so much.
E
Oh, that's okay.
Aaron Keenan
This episode.
E
Yeah. I made myself a target by saying I got this one instantly earlier with the hook.
JPC
Yeah, that's right.
Casey Toney
Now, Casey, since you never did the sort of pre show ritual of saying numbers and syncing your audio, how much of a pain in the ass is you coming on the mic for?
E
You?
Aaron Keenan
Great question.
E
Well, Adol, that is a great question. Since I'm not recording myself locally, I would just be using my individual zencastr track, which is automatically synced with the zencastr mix that I use so I don't have to worry about the syncing stuff.
Casey Toney
Technical answer. I was hoping for a dumb, funny answer.
JPC
Were you hoping that Casey went, oh.
E
Fuck, let me try again. Let me try again. Let me try again. I was being audience surrogate by not being as funny as you guys.
JPC
Casey.
Casey Toney
Oh, fuck.
JPC
Could you also do me a favor and could you, when this episode comes out, can you have all your audio on a three second delay?
Aaron Keenan
So crazy.
Casey Toney
I don't know if we've ever done this before. I want to try something. If everyone is on board with it, I'm ready. Casey, earlier in the episode you put in the chat, I got this one instantly, seemingly braggadociously trying to be like, ha, ha, ha ha. I want right now I'd like JBC to read a riddle. Aaron and I are just going to smugly sit by in case you're gonna solve this one at all.
E
I said it. I. I said it was notable because I never get the riddles instantly. You guys are way better at riddles.
JPC
Casey did say immediately that he's not. He never gets them. Okay, Casey, I'm game with it. Gives Adelaide Aaron a chance to do, you know, whatever they want to do.
Casey Toney
Picks up my steam deck.
JPC
Aaron's already. Aaron's already on her phone. Aaron, what are we looking at?
Aaron Keenan
I got a notification from my landlord.
JPC
Yeah, okay, so she's on her phone. I'm ready. No, you don't need to be ready. Casey's doing this one.
Aaron Keenan
I know.
JPC
When I am an adjective, I say how you move. When I am a verb, I say that you starve. When I'm an adjective, I say how you move. When I am a verb, I say that you starve.
Casey Toney
Whoa, Casey, whoa. I can see your eyes sort of glossing over like a shark. Oh, he's panicking. Oh, no.
JPC
I don't think he's got it.
E
I'm trying to think of words that are.
JPC
Hey. Trying to think of words. That's the right direction.
Casey Toney
Aaron, you and I got this instantly, right?
Aaron Keenan
Oh, I got this instantly.
Casey Toney
I got this instantly.
E
And it's not mustard, right, Casey, it is mustard again.
JPC
No, it's not mustard. Okay, Casey, we'll rely on the people who are actually being paid to solve these riddles. Yeah.
Casey Toney
Uh.
JPC
Oh. Aaron.
Casey Toney
Run, Aaron, run. Run, run, run.
JPC
I know you just Huck Finned Casey, you just Huck Finned Casey into painting your podcast. What do you guys think the answer is? When I'm an adjective, I say how you move. When I'm a verb, I say that you starve.
Casey Toney
Um, hungrily.
Aaron Keenan
Waste.
Casey Toney
Fast.
Aaron Keenan
Fast.
JPC
Casey got it. Casey got it.
Aaron Keenan
That brutal.
Casey Toney
Interesting. He got it. Once he turned off his video, it's almost like he Googled the answer.
Aaron Keenan
No, he didn' Google the answer. You guys, we hit I'm sorry, I.
E
Had to turn my camera back on for that one.
Aaron Keenan
I heard you. I. I heard the beep go off. We bullied Casey too much. We hit our limit.
Casey Toney
Yay.
JPC
Casey turning off his camera for one second to furiously Google the entire fast.
Aaron Keenan
That's a good riddle.
JPC
Yeah, that is a good riddle. I like that one. Adeline. Aaron, I wanted to see a quick scene between the two of you. You're both students, and I will be the teacher in this scene, and you are both going on a hunger strike until I, the teacher, abolish homework. Okay, guys, so it's chapters three, four, and five tonight, and remember, there's a quiz on Friday, so quiz on Friday, chapters three, four, and five tonight.
Casey Toney
Well, we're definitely not reading chapter eight because we're not eating.
JPC
Okay. Yeah, it's not chapter eight, Mark. I'm not sure what that. It's three, four, and five tonight, guys.
Aaron Keenan
Mr. Peterson, we shouldn't have had Mark speak first. Mr. Peterson, any.
JPC
Anyone could speak. Yeah, just raise your hand, Claire.
Aaron Keenan
Mr. Peterson, we know our threats have been empty in the past, but not this time. This time we are serious. On behalf of the whole class, sorry, Mark, you're looking a little disappointed that you're not reading all the jokes that you wrote for this.
Casey Toney
Do you mind if I pepper in some of my Jokes.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah, of course.
Casey Toney
Go ahead, Mark, go ahead. And I'll pepper some in.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, great. You assign way too much homework. It's as if you think you're the only teacher at the school assigning homework.
Casey Toney
Sorry, Homework. Drop the R. Home walk. Not even using my home walk. Because we're not eating.
Aaron Keenan
Thank you, Mark.
Casey Toney
Keep going.
Aaron Keenan
Two hours of homework a night for one class is unreasonable. What if.
Casey Toney
Set it and.
JPC
Sorry.
Casey Toney
Two hours. Set it and. Forget it. Forget eating.
Aaron Keenan
And these jokes will make sense once I tell you what our protest is.
Casey Toney
Wait, jokes?
JPC
And just as a. And just real quickly, I see a lot of other students in the class kind of nodding along with this. Chapters 3, 4, and 5. This shouldn't take you more than like 20 minutes to do as well as we get distracted.
Aaron Keenan
So it takes two hours, I would say. What if every teacher was like you and assumed we had two hours every night?
Casey Toney
Two hours or two hours derves. But I won't have them. You can have mine because I'm not eating.
JPC
What is going on?
Aaron Keenan
You're not eating.
Casey Toney
I'm going home.
JPC
Mark is not eating.
Aaron Keenan
No. Not that. We understand that. This could be misleading. None of us are eating. We're on our.
JPC
Some of you are eating right now.
Aaron Keenan
Guys.
Casey Toney
Sorry.
JPC
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, starting after this class, none of us are eating.
JPC
Mark and Claire, it might be taking you two hours to do the reading because you're so hungry that you're not eating. When I get hungry, I can't really focus on the pain and. Mark, you're falling asleep. Little bit. Huh?
Casey Toney
I passed out. I'm so hungry.
Aaron Keenan
What came first, the chicken or the egg? Both sound so good right now.
JPC
Here's what I would say.
Casey Toney
Can you imagine an egg with a chicken on top of it for class?
JPC
Why doesn't everybody eat tonight and today and have lunch? Go to lunch now and eat and then try to do the homework tonight after you have eaten.
Aaron Keenan
Nice try. We're not going to cave that easily.
Casey Toney
Yeah, that's right. Eat. E equals at squared meals a day. I am so fucking hungry, I can smell.
JPC
Mark, language.
Casey Toney
I'm sorry. It's just there's an Applebee's across the street and the windows are open. I can. It's. The waft is hitting me in the face.
Aaron Keenan
The waft, Mr. Peterson.
Casey Toney
The waft.
Aaron Keenan
Please shut the window.
Casey Toney
Oh, please.
JPC
Guys, I can't shut the window. We don't have central ac. We have to keep the window open. It's a safety thing. I'm sorry about the Applebee's. In general, you must be really hungry to think that that applebee smells good, too, because they cook all their food in the microwave. Guys, let's be honest, okay? You're two of the worst students in my class. You never do the homework anyway.
Aaron Keenan
Can you say that out loud in front of everybody?
JPC
Yeah, I can. I can say it. Cause you do this a lot. You take up a lot of class time with your little protests and stuff. Maybe if we just ate food and then focused on just kind of, like, doing the reading and really, the whole point of this class is not to, like, make you do homework. It's to, like, encourage you to learn.
Aaron Keenan
I don't know about all that.
JPC
Well, I know you don't, Claire. I know you don't know about all that. So. I'm the teacher. I know about it, okay?
Casey Toney
We plant. We planted cocaine in your desk. We planted cocaine in your desk. You're out of here.
Aaron Keenan
Yeah.
JPC
You planted cocaine. Who do you think comes by to check my desk?
Aaron Keenan
Well, we were hoping the principal would come in. And when does cocaine start to sprout?
JPC
All right, I implore you guys, you two have to just open the books and do some reading. I think it's going to teach you some critical.
Casey Toney
Don't make up words.
JPC
You know what? Here's what I'll say. Mark, Claire, how about this? How about you guys get a C in the class and you stop talking? You never say another word in my class and you get a C. You have a deal.
Aaron Keenan
Da da da da da da da da da.
JPC
And you can't sing. Singing counts. No. Singing counts.
Aaron Keenan
Then no deal. I'll still take it. I'll still take it.
JPC
I'll still take it. I'll still take it. Oh, yeah, you did get that one. Are you guys gonna do one more? Let's do one more.
Casey Toney
One more.
Aaron Keenan
Okay, fine. But just as.
JPC
Walk with me. Walk with my partner. I'm small. I am big. I am always the same length. This is interesting.
Casey Toney
Is that it?
Aaron Keenan
A stride? A step?
JPC
Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, you're so close.
Aaron Keenan
A run.
JPC
Aaron, it's a foot.
Casey Toney
Whoa.
Aaron Keenan
I don't know how I got that.
Casey Toney
You are the Carrie Shrug of this episode.
JPC
A foot is always the same length, Aaron. You're the Carrie Shrug of this episode. Oh, hey, Casey, not to get. Not to harp on you for this whole episode, but do we have a voicemail theme? Wait for the beep. Hey, riddle.
Aaron Keenan
This pre drop can still get you pregnant.
JPC
1-80531, can you hit us with that new voicemail thing?
Casey Toney
Holy Shit. I think I just took edm.
JPC
Wow.
Aaron Keenan
That was fucking awesome.
JPC
All right. That one comes from Jesse, AKA bashexplode. Says I produce electronic music and metal, and I sampled a few things from the podcast into a dubstep song. I hope you like it.
Aaron Keenan
That was so fun.
JPC
I loved it. You want to submit a voicemail theme, Just Send it to WAV file 30 seconds or less to HR podcastmail.com Casey, play us a voicemail.
Aaron Keenan
Hi, Al.
JPC
Hi, Erin.
Aaron Keenan
Hi, jpc. I'm Ilana and I have a question for the three of you and also Casey. Would it be fun to take an edible and go to a 40x movie? Would that be just a sensory hell nightmare? For the context, assume I am by myself in the seizure. Thanks. What a sweet sweetie.
Casey Toney
Thank you for the question. I'm going to go ahead and say I think it would be very fun if I took one. Maybe I'll try it next time. If I took one with Casey and JPC and minimal to no other audience, I think it would be fun. If there's other audience there, then I think I might be freaking out.
JPC
I'm a little surprised, Adel, that you've never tried that. I mean, it's a big, like. It's a big swing of an experience.
Casey Toney
Yeah. Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
I think it's too risky having not been to a 40x movie myself, but having regretted taking an edible before, watching a regular movie before, I would say too risky.
E
I feel like you gotta go. You gotta go to regular 40x first.
JPC
Yeah.
E
So that you have, like, a baseline. Because here's the worst thing that could come out of this experience. You go to a 40x while on an edible, you have a terrible time, and you never go to 40x again because you think it sucks, when in reality it's just because you're on that edible.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, that's.
Casey Toney
That's a good tragedy.
JPC
That's a good point. You don't want it souring your first experience, but if you've been to a bunch, I'd say it's a safer bet.
E
Yeah.
Casey Toney
Yeah. I am definitely planning on there releasing Pink Floyd live at Pompeii. Like, an old live concert footage that is supposedly, like, one of the best live shows of all time. They're gonna release that in imax, so I'm definitely going to that and taking an edible.
JPC
Wow. Okay. That'd be fun.
Casey Toney
Yeah.
Aaron Keenan
Did you guys see Nick Mestead's video?
JPC
No.
Aaron Keenan
Of him at a 40x movie on Instagram. It made me laugh so hard.
JPC
Well, that is My. That is my targeted content. Yeah, I did take an edible once, seeing a movie like a, you know, decade and a half ago and I can't remember what the movie was, but I remember it. It was the first time I'd ever taken an edible to be a watch a movie in a movie theater. And it was back when they were selling edibles, but like the dosage was like all over the fucking place. They were like, this is what we think it might be. And I remember when it hit me, I was like, for a while I was like, I don't think this movie's real. And then I was like, ah, this is too much. And I remember spending most of that movie in the bathroom of like an Alamo Drafthouse, being like, I'm just going to sit in here and kind of chill out.
Aaron Keenan
I think I sort of, I got business in here.
JPC
I think I'll just pretend like I really have to shit for 40 minutes and kind of calm down a little bit. All right, well, that probably is the question. Yeah, I promise. I know as well. But you know, do you. And that voicemail is probably from seven months ago, so you probably already did it. Aaron, anything that you have to plug.
Aaron Keenan

Today's five star review comes from Almost Said a Word. The Y I Z Z kind of looks like something else. Glad I didn't accidentally say a word.
Aaron Keenan
Well, you're talking out loud.
JPC
Jizz would be the worst. Almost Said. Okay. Fizzy Izz says nearly peed someone else's pants. Many are funny, but few podcasts make me actually laugh out loud as often as this one does. Yesterday I was aliquoting, aliquoting, aliquoting some urine at work and nearly spilled it all over thanks to my shoulders shaking with laughter. Thank you for being hazardous to. Hazardous to both myself and the people around me. It's been an absolute delight. Much love. What? What is that?

Aaron Keenan
Okay, do I get to spit in everyone's face individually? I meant to say have to, not get to. What did I say? What did I say?
E
That sounds like a yes to me.
Aaron Keenan
Oh, yeah, I'll throw. I'll throw our audience around like a rag doll. They can actually smell J.P. riddles. Oh, everyone leaves.
