This is a headgum podcast.
JPC
McCrispy strips are now at McDonald's. Tender, juicy and its own sauce. Would you look at that? Well, you can't see it, but trust me, it looks delicious. New McCrispy strips now at McDonald's. The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Both of them were goldfish. It was the cannon of an airplane.
Adol
All right, you're all good. Let me know when you need that. Theme and voicemail. Thank you, Casey.
Aaron
I got something for this.
Adol
Cool.
Aaron
Hi, Adol and jpc.
Adol
Hey, Aaron.
JPC
Hey, Aaron.
Aaron
Watching anything good on tv? You guys have any pets or.
Adol
Ooh, what the fuck is this? Okay, two questions. Pretty opposite ends of the spectrum.
Aaron
Do you have any hidden talents?
JPC
Well, is this a job interview? What's going on here?
Adol
No, I've squeezed my talents pretty dry.
Aaron
Hmm, that's interesting. Do you have any siblings? Play any musical instruments?
Adol
Hey, jbc, can I talk to you for a second?
JPC
Yeah. What's up, man?
Adol
Hey, do you have any pets or you watch anything interesting on tv?
JPC
Hey, can I talk to you about something completely different?
Adol
Yeah, of course.
JPC
Over here. Not that I don't love the way this is going. Cause I love this conversation. Before we started the episode, Casey said like three times, like, let me know when you need that voicemail theme. Let me know when you did we just do it at the beginning of the episode? I feel like he wants to do it.
Adol
Should we just launch into it? Hey, Aaron.
JPC
Aaron, we actually wanted to kind of have a quick chat with you real quick.
Aaron
Yeah. What was your first job? Sorry, guys, we've had guests these last few episodes. This feels really awkward. I googled what to ask your co workers.
Adol
I guess my first job is being the perfect little baby.
Aaron
Oh, that's so good. Did you get it ready?
JPC
I feel like my first job is father, and then my second job is husband. And then I guess my career maybe comes third, if that makes sense.
Aaron
I don't think I asked you to rank your job, Aaron. Yes.
JPC
You remember before we started the episode Casey was so crazy about. Let me know, just let me know.
Aaron
Oh, he's. He's like, hungry for it. We should just let him. Let's just do the voicemail. Do you think the voicemail at the beginning of the episode because do you.
JPC
Think that maybe there's something going on with him? Like, he's not like, I know that you're supposed to, like, water and feed your Casey, like every once in a while.
Adol
Wait, what?
Aaron
Don't worry, Adol. We've Remembered too, sometimes.
Adol
Occasionally rushes to Casey, puts him near the sun.
JPC
A few days ago, I did bring a T shirt to Casey, but he was asleep, so I left it outside of his place. And then it rained on the T shirt. So I did bring him a wet T shirt. So that's kind of like Watergar, Casey.
Adol
Classic sleep O.
Aaron
You know what? Let's do the voicemail theme and the voicemail at the beginning of the episode.
JPC
Hey, Casey. Hey, buddy.
Adol
Hey, buddy.
Aaron
Hey, Casey.
JPC
Hey, buddy.
Adol
Casey taps a few flakes on Casey's head.
JPC
We had something we wanted to ask you, Casey.
Adol
Mm.
JPC
Do you play any musical instruments or have any siblings?
Adol
No, but I did have a first job. Oh, buddy.
Aaron
What was it?
JPC
Whoa.
Adol
Father, Husband.
Aaron
That makes sense.
Adol
We didn't ask you to rank them.
Aaron
We didn't ask you to rank them. Casey. We're trying to be crazy. What if we had dessert first today?
JPC
Yeah.
Adol
Oh, you mean voicemail theme.
Aaron
Yeah, let's do it.
Adol
Sorry, I wasn't listening.
Casey
Is Internet radio not holding your attention like it used to do? You find yourself folding laundry or taking a walk and you just can't decide what to listen to? Would being alone with your thoughts for even a moment cause you to enter a downward spiral from which you would never return? Well, have I got the podcast for you. Introducing. Hey Riddle. Riddle the podcast so funny that multiple people say it almost made them crash their cars. But wait, there's more. For an easy monthly payment of just $5, you can join the Clue crew. And if you call 800-5-RIDDLE1 in the next 10 minutes, I'll throw in the Discord for free. The cast of Favorite Riddle does not take any responsibility for car crashes that occur while listening to this podcast.
Aaron
Oh, my God, that rocked. I just threw my credit card at the computer. The screen cracked. Adol.
Adol
Yeah, Aaron, I've stood behind you at an ATM and I've had to clean up the mess.
JPC
That one was submitted by Joseph. Joseph. Thanks so much for submitting, Casey. Joseph even went as far as to say that they got the background music from a royalty free 80s loopable background music. So we have all rights to that. We don't have to pay a fucking dime for that.
Adol
Hell yeah. And Aaron, your computer screen cracked when you threw your credit card at it. You have American Express's new lead card.
Aaron
Yeah, it poisons the boomers.
JPC
You have the American Express Gambit card. Mommy.
Adol
I'm ready for the credit card that poisons you. Where it's like, quick, take it, take it, take it, take it too.
Aaron
Quick.
Adol
I got to put it back in my. I can't put it. I can't hold it anymore.
JPC
Do not put this in your pocket.
Adol
Kissy. Play that beautiful. Voicemail.
JPC
Hi, my name is Colton. I wanted to ask a fun little question while I'm driving.
Aaron
He's going to crash.
JPC
What celebrities would you just let into your home without any questions asked? And why would JPC have a plan to kill at least four of them by?
Adol
Okay, Colton, I love that you asked the question as if you're running through my front lawn as a six year old during the summer.
Aaron
Yeah, it's so fun.
Adol
Hi, Mr. Refy. What celebrities would you let into your house?
Aaron
If Cate Blanchett knocked on my door, no questions asked, I stand out of the way and sort of go, yeah.
Adol
She has Cate Blanche at. She has carte Blanchett.
JPC
Blanchett.
Aaron
Adeline, it's still the morning and you're joking like that. That's awesome.
Adol
Wait, nobody move. She has carte blanchette.
Aaron
He said something perfect.
JPC
Can we.
Aaron
What are we gonna do?
JPC
Are we assuming what is their demeanor? Because it's like, if it's Cate Blanchett, like, very blase versus, like a very panicked Cate Blanchett gpc, the killer, either way.
Aaron
So why are you asking?
JPC
Yeah, but do I need to hide it? But also, I don't really need to kill anybody or I don't need to hide that I'm killing these people because they're like, breaking into my house. What if you saw the news, they're.
Aaron
Breaking into your house.
JPC
Cate Blanchett was shot and killed breaking into someone's house.
Aaron
I would be shocked.
JPC
I'd be shocked, too. That's. That would be a crazy news story.
Aaron
Gpc, would you let anyone in your house without any tomfoolery?
JPC
And again, is the demeanor. Are they. Are they like. If they're panicked, I feel like I'm going to be, like, less likely because I'm like, what are you bringing in? But if it's just like, I think.
Aaron
That they're, like, under control, but clearly something is going wrong where they want to go into your house.
JPC
Very clearly something is going wrong.
Aaron
They're like, want to go anywhere. They're like, hey, I'm terrible. Sorry to bother you. I just got into a car accident. Can I use your phone really quick?
Adol
Okay. Michael Shannon, what's going on?
JPC
Yeah, I don't know. I think that to be real, there's probably. There's a shorter list of ones that I wouldn't let into my house. You Know, like if Roseanne Barr, like, if James woods was like, I was in a car accident and I need to get in your house and use your phone. What I would probably say to him would be like, james woods, the safest place that you can be right now is back in your car. Like, especially if it's still in the middle of the intersection.
Aaron
You want to go to my computer screen to hide that? James Wood is sitting right behind me. Sorry. James woods, you're the worst. That's why he hates you.
JPC
If Kevin Sorbo was like, I was in a very bad accident, I'd be like, just lay down on the grass, my man. I'll call. Help is on the way. And then I'd go back to whatever I was doing. I'm not calling shit for Sorbo.
Aaron
Oh, my God, you guys. I just. I just realized I fucking fell in my own trap. I thought it was the end of an episode. I was about to launch into plugs at all.
Adol
Oh, no.
JPC
Cheap, easy.
Adol
Well, should we do plugs?
Aaron
Yeah, let's do plugs now.
JPC
Yeah, let's do it.
Adol
And now here's Adol with the thing he wants to do.
Aaron
Thank you, Paulkins.
Adol
Thanks, Paul.
JPC
Thank you, Paul. Okay. Oh, yeah, big thing to plug. We're going on tour. We can plug the hey Rottle live shows. We're doing 10 cities this year at least. And a lot of those cities are. The tickets are available now. There's still a few where later in the year the tickets aren't available. But you can go to heyvotovertal.com live to come see some of our live shows this year.
Aaron
Hang out. We're going to so many places we haven't been before. And we're so excited to see some new faces and. And some old faces. I want to plug our Patreon. Patreon.com haveriveriddle there's all sorts of fun stuff over there. If you haven't checked out JPC's meditation guide, that is fantastic. You can buy it.
JPC
It's not a guide of meditation. It is a meditation guide.
Aaron
Yeah, he's teaching you how to do it over there.
JPC
Hold on.
Aaron
Right here for Jesus. I know. I was about to say, okay, so even more content to look out for. And then also check out my variety show in Los Angeles. Quality time. It's a true variety. I'm looking to get a death doula for our June show. So follow quality time on Instagram and come check out one of our shows. Adol, do you have anything to plug?
Adol
I Do. I was recently a guest on A Funny Feeling podcast. Very spooky supernatural podcast. We just had their co hosts Betsy and Marcy on our show fairly recently. So look for my episode of A Funny Feeling. And also I was on Formerly Improv is Dead, now known as Fudgecast. I believe I was just on Fudgecast with my co hosts on the word association. So check out Fudgecast. Formerly Improv is Dead.
Aaron
You mean Brett and Tim did improv together?
Adol
Two brothers goofing and laughing.
JPC
Wow.
Aaron
Jbc. You won't know this, but one time Adol and I went on Improv is Dead and now known as Fudgecast.
Adol
I believe so, yes.
Aaron
And Tim Lyons was playing Alex Trebek in the 80s on cocaine and he was reading categories. And I think of one of the categories every time I watch Jeopardy now, which is David and Goliath. And that's the only category we were asking for questions from because we're like, what does that mean? That sounds like a Jeopardy thing. But that doesn't mean anything, David. And all the answers were 4th of July. It's nothing. It's nothing.
JPC
Oh yeah, please, JVC. Anything to plug or promote besides the live tour. No, but you know what? I could always read a review, right? That's something that I do. So let's see this review.
Adol
We're confusing so many people right now who spaced out for two minutes and they're like, wait a minute, we did.
Aaron
An episode like this once. We did a backwards episode.
JPC
Let's put a 10 minute episode out. Let's just.
Aaron
I would love that.
JPC
Guys, this one is. You could get a review featured on the show. Just leave us a five star review. Anywhere you leave reviews. This one is sent in by. Oh, I'm sorry, it's sent in by Ginger Snappy. The title of the review is Pee Pee Poo poo. I am 25 and listening to this podcast for the past five years has made me realize that people are never too old to make pee pee and poo poo jokes. Or jokes a 12 year old boy would make in the locker room. Thank you for being real and being real silly. I've listened to every episode multiple times. And I laugh out loud at least once every time I listen. Well, I hope the time that you laugh out loud this episode was I exasperately, exasperatedly said, pee pee poo poo.
Aaron
I think that's less of a review and more of a wake up call. What are we thinking?
JPC
Oh, I'm still fast asleep.
Aaron
Oh, perfect. Okay, great.
JPC
Let's do riddles.
Aaron
Yay.
Adol
Let's crawl backwards into riddles from the plugs. Here. Here's our first riddle.
JPC
Oh, but adult, I guess. Is it possible then, if we're going full on backwards to, like, start with our last riddle and then work our way through?
Adol
Yeah, actually, let me start with the answers and then we'll work our way back to it.
Aaron
Can we start with a scene, actually?
Adol
Oh, smart. And then I'll scramble to find a riddle that fits the scene.
JPC
Well. Aaron, just call a scene so generic that it must echo egg shadow. You know?
Aaron
Right.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol
Got it.
Aaron
Got it. Okay. You are a father and son. And you are lost at sea.
Adol
Oh, Dad, I. None of this looks familiar.
JPC
Much as it looks like the ocean. It shouldn't look familiar. It's all, you know. It's not how we navigate by. Look.
Adol
Yeah, we left off the coast of Maine and now I just see water, water everywhere. Not a drop to drink. There's a whale breaching.
JPC
Oh, What? Okay, cool. Fun to see.
Adol
Its eyeball is level with my head. It's just kind of. Hi, buddy.
JPC
Yeah, normally they go. They go. They come out of the water. They go right back down. But he's just got a little ominous. The core strength on this guy.
Adol
You working out, buddy?
JPC
Oh, it's a whale. Whoa. Never mind. I'm trying. Was about to let you know. They probably won't talk. I'm actually doing PT exercises.
Adol
Ptx and that for whales. That stands for.
JPC
No, I think I'm doing physical therapy exercises.
Adol
I got hurt.
JPC
I got hit by a boat, actually.
Adol
Oh, no.
JPC
Yeah. Oh, God.
Adol
That almost kill you? Sorry, I'm a kid. What the fuck?
JPC
Sorry. He's a kid.
Adol
I'm a kid. Don't eat me. I'm a kid. Don't eat me.
JPC
He just. Yeah, I can't eat you because guess what I eat?
Adol
Creatine.
JPC
Krill. I'm gonna freak out. You could have said Krillitine.
Adol
Can you say crillatine?
JPC
He's just a kid. He's just.
Adol
Hold on, let me get out my phone. Can you say wait, Are you the.
JPC
Fucking boat that hit me?
Adol
Hey, this is Joshua. I'm with my dad. Lost at sea. We get worth a whale here and the whale eats.
Aaron
Grabs phone, eats phone.
JPC
Twelve hundred dollars down the drain.
Aaron
Spitz phone. Back out. You have the coolest video ever now on your phone.
JPC
You're welcome.
Aaron
Kid splashes underwater.
Adol
Dad, I'm in the top 10 Tik Tok creators or something.
JPC
We were the boat that hit that whale scene.
Aaron
Oh, brother.
JPC
All right, Adel, this shouldn't be too hard. Whale. Just like, kind of like a whale related. Yeah, like a whale whale riddle. Now that you just.
Adol
Whale, whale, whale.
JPC
The Gipper as a whale whale.
Adol
Lynn likes grapes but not potatoes. She likes squash but not lettuce. And she likes peas but not onions. And she loves whales.
JPC
There you go.
Aaron
There you go, buddy. Can you read those again?
Adol
Lynn likes grapes but not potatoes. She likes squash but not lettuce. And she likes peas but not onions. Side note, unaffiliated with this riddle. She loves whales.
Aaron
That's something she likes, like E's and A's and not.
Adol
Here's what else. One more little part here. Following the same rule. Will she like pumpkins or apples?
Aaron
She'll like apples.
Adol
Why?
Aaron
Because it has A's and E's and not U's.
Adol
Um, potatoes has A's and E's and she does not like potatoes.
Aaron
Oh, right.
Adol
Lettuce has A's.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron
Well, then. Adult I give up.
JPC
Aaron, you're definitely. You're definitely on the right part. Like, you're. You know, that rule is correct. You're just slightly off on it. There's O's in potato, but. Wait, no, there was O's in something else. Right.
Adol
Potato. She likes you. She likes grapes but not potatoes. She likes squash but not lettuce, and she likes peas but not onions.
JPC
I will say there are no O's in any of the things that she likes. Onions, potatoes.
Adol
Lettuce doesn't have an O and she has lettuce.
Aaron
It's a specific letter.
JPC
No, it's an order. It's like an order of the vowels. Like, is it A, E, I, O? No.
Aaron
Is it the amount of vowels? Is it consonants?
Adol
And I'll say nothing to do with vowels.
JPC
What are the things that she doesn't. What is the thing she doesn't like at all?
Adol
She does not like potatoes, lettuce, or onions. She doesn't.
JPC
All of those have a double letter in them.
Aaron
Oh, yeah.
JPC
And then what does she. Wait, you said she doesn't like pumpkin? No.
Aaron
Pumpkin and apples are the things at the end that we have to decide. She likes pumpkin. She doesn't like apples. Because pumpkin doesn't have double letters.
JPC
Yeah, it does. It has a double P. No, it doesn't.
Adol
Apples has double P. Pumpkin has two P's. Apples has two P's. I will say I double letter in a row. Pumpkin, I love this. It's nothing to do with the letters.
Aaron
What are you talking about? You let us Walk down the wrong road for so many minutes. We are so lost. We are so lost. We're never making it back to the own road. We're gonna get murdered out here.
Adol
You said, oh, oh, it's the use. Da, da, da, da. You went on that whole thing. And then JPC was like, so it definitely has to do with vowels.
Aaron
And I go, no, motherfucker. It has nothing to do with the letters.
JPC
Okay, wait, does it have anything to do. Does it have anything to do at all with the amount of letters?
Aaron
It has nothing to do with the.
Adol
Letters, Aaron, you did this.
Aaron
You did this. I can't play it back.
JPC
Not the exact letters, but does it have anything to do with the amount of letters? Like the number of. The number of letters in a word?
Adol
No. And I would say don't further investigate letters.
Aaron
Fruits and veggies at all.
JPC
Is it fruits and veggies?
Adol
Now we're getting closer to seeds. We're getting closer, but it's not fruits and veggies.
JPC
Pumpkin, lettuce, and onions are what she doesn't like.
Adol
Well, pumpkins and apples. We'll table for now because that's the final question. She likes grapes but not potatoes. Squash, but not lettuce. Peas, not onions. Based on that, that same rule, whatever the game or rule is, will she like pumpkins or apples?
Aaron
And it has nothing to do with letters. Why am I stumped? Can I have a hint?
Adol
So, Aaron, I love that you start to get into, like, seeds, their cores, et cetera.
Aaron
Oh, you do.
Adol
It definitely has something to do.
Aaron
Oh, I don't. You love that.
Adol
Oh, and you like that. And you love that. I will say it's very much along those same lines in terms of maybe examining how these things grow.
JPC
All right, give it to us one more time. Adol, you said it's.
Aaron
They like things that grow on branches and not things that grow in the ground.
JPC
In the ground.
Adol
You are a whisper away.
Aaron
I'm gonna kill you.
Adol
Well, Aaron, let me posit this for you. Between. So you're saying between grapes and potatoes, one of them grows on branches?
JPC
I'm saying one grows underground and one grows above ground. Yes. Is it as simple as that?
Adol
That's close. One grows in trees, but the branches, one is closer. What was that, Aaron?
Aaron
Vines.
Adol
Yes. Pumpkin. She would eat pumpkins because she only likes things that grow on vines, which are like flaccid branches.
JPC
Yeah, vines are like flaccid branches. That makes sense.
Aaron
I'd like to see a scene. Whoa, jpc, you're a very stubborn Farmer. And Adol's trying to convince you to sort of rotate your crops and introduce different foods to your farm, and you Simply won't.
JPC
No, Mr. Scientist, don't talk to me about nitrates and recycling. I like what I like, and I grow what I grow. Okay? It's worked for decades, and that's what I'm gonna keep doing.
Adol
Oh, okay, Bailey, if you say so. Bob's your uncle. How's your crop coming in this year?
JPC
Terrible. Something with the soil. I feel like I keep growing the same things, and it's depleting something in the soil. I don't know. I don't know what it. But I like what I like, and I grow what I grow. Okay.
Adol
Of course. And I grow what I grow and learn to like what I grow. And I'd recommend, you know, maybe popping down some radishes, because you grow some radishes, and in two months time, you're gonna have enough radish kisses in the soil to grow yourself some cabbage.
JPC
No, no, no, no, no, no. No radish. I only grow things that are required to make whiskey, and you can't make whiskey with radishes. I've never heard of radish.
Adol
Whiskey produces jar from my satchel. Well, I think today's the day. Try my new whiskey. The radish whiskey.
JPC
If I try some Risky and I don't go blind.
Adol
Hold on. Who said anything about not going blind?
Aaron
Pardon the interruption. I'm so sorry. Are you the farmer who only is growing ingredients that you can find in whiskey?
JPC
I guess that's a way to say it. I'm only. I'm growing the ingredients to make whiskey. Yes.
Aaron
All right. Well, then you're the reason why all the insects and animals are drunk all the time. Time. In this part of town.
JPC
Now, hold on. Now, hold on. You can't get drunk from the ingredients to whiskey.
Aaron
You can if they ferment in your stomach together. Well, how do you think Risky is made?
Adol
Oh, did you hear that bird go moo? It's clearly drunk.
JPC
Wait a second. Wait a second. How do you know about risky? Wait, do you two know each other? Hold on.
Aaron
We've never met a day in our life, have we? Tomorrow. God damn it.
Adol
A single day. Mabel. Why would I ever have met her?
JPC
Why do you have matching wedding bands? That seems. That seems like before you do this kind of thing, you take those off. Right.
Adol
Shopped at the same wedding band store.
Aaron
Yeah. Why do you have stuff in your teeth? We all have stuff.
JPC
Look, I like eating corn, and I Can't get those little fuckers out. How do people do it? How do people eat corn three meals a day, every day and not have teeth that are completely fucked?
Aaron
I don't think people are eating corn three meals a day, every day.
Adol
What's the.
Aaron
You guys will be proud of me because I don't know what's wrong with me. Every once in a while, JPC will be in a scene and my brain goes to, how can I make him JP riddles in this? So the first 30 seconds, I was like, okay, this is gonna be JP riddles, and he's growing bones. He's planting bones in the ground and growing them.
Adol
But, you know, just digging up a cemetery.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol
Oh, no, I'm growing bones.
Aaron
JPC is not a monkey who dances for us. Unless he's playing little monkey bones, in which case he is. And I just can't do that to him all the time.
JPC
I do like that, Aaron, because that shows that you were a person who was not in the scene, but you were listening to the scene and not just waiting until you could come in and say you're growing bones of the ground. Which is what most improvisers do, by the way. If you see most improv, most people are just staring. Like, if you go see live improv, whatever, they got a blank look. They're sitting on the side of the stage and they're just counting down from 60 seconds. Because that's how long it takes before the audience could reasonably assume that a person would be walking into the seat saying, you're growing bones to the ground.
Aaron
You guys, I am most improv. Normally. I do do that in person. You're going to watch me do that every time.
Adol
I am proud. Well, let's get away from that riddle we just did because it was clearly confusing. And let's go to this one. Bobby likes Jimmy, but not Joe. Apples, but not pears.
Aaron
Oh, my God.
Adol
But not Vans Shinny, but not hockey. What's shinny? Tennis, but not squash.
Aaron
Shinny.
Adol
Who will.
JPC
How do you spell it?
Adol
S H, I, N, N, Y. Mm, Mm.
JPC
Don't know. Don't know.
Adol
So Bobby likes Jimmy but not Joe. Apples, but not pears. Jeeps, but not Vans Shinny, but not hockey. Tennis, but not squash. Who will he like? Sarah or Sally?
Aaron
Sally Adel.
Adol
Yeah.
Aaron
I'm gonna ask you this one time. Is this about the letters?
Adol
This is about the letters.
Aaron
This is the double letters one.
Adol
This is the double letters one here. We got it. Yep. He likes words or names with double letters.
Aaron
So quick, cue for the group is everyone seeing white at the edges of their vision from rage?
JPC
I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck shinny is. And it's like it's dropped in there, like, with like, Jimmy Apples, Jeeps and shinny. Like, it's like this One of these things is not like the other in terms of what is like common knowledge to people.
Aaron
I wonder if shinny is an informal type of hockey played on ice.
Adol
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Aaron
Oh, I Googled.
JPC
That was a Google.
Adol
That's a big Google.
JPC
Hold on. We don't know. Aaron may have just known that.
Adol
Aaron, did you just know that adult?
JPC
Remember when she was a kid, she did put her finger in an electrical socket. So her brain is not like our brain.
Aaron
You remember me telling you that?
JPC
Oh, yeah.
Adol
Sort of a freakazoid situation. She got sucked into the Internet or something.
JPC
It is very possible that that is something Erin just remembered in the moment and then shared with us and not something that she googled. Aaron, please tell us now what happened.
Aaron
I mean, I am from the northeast. Hockey was the most popular sport at my high school, female and male. We had some of the best hockey players.
JPC
Oh, you went to a female in male high school?
Aaron
I did. It was fine. Good. Not great. So it would make sense that I could possibly know what shinny is, which, of course is informal game of hockey, like street hockey. So I guess hypothetically, it would make sense if I had known.
JPC
Wait, now, is that your question, street hockey? Because I thought you said shinny had to be played on the ice.
Adol
Aaron's googling shinny.
Aaron
Shinny's complicated shinny. If only we had the time to really get into shinny.
JPC
I guess it's.
Aaron
And I guess the title of this episode, Shinny. Right, guys?
JPC
I guess if it's the wintertime, it could be icy on the road. So you could play street hockey on the ice of a road? Is that to give you.
Aaron
I have an idea what I'd like to see seen. Fantastic. You guys are playing a game of shinny on newly frozen over ice, and one of you falls through the ice. And I'd like to see how you handle that.
Adol
Aaron, I'd like you in this scene as well.
Aaron
Okay, I'll find a way in. I'm every improv.
Adol
Aaron falls through the ice. Oh, no. Oh, no.
JPC
Oh, God.
Adol
Oh, Jacob, do you see that? That lady went right through the ice.
JPC
Oh, she was just out. It looked like she was just out playing a game of shinny by herself and she fell through the Ice.
Adol
And I know what shinny is, and you know what shinny is. But just in case that woman drowning doesn't know what's shinny again?
JPC
Are you asking me or.
Adol
Yeah, well, sometimes we bandy about terms like bandied about. Oh.
JPC
Cause I brought up your. Oh, well, yeah, it's like an informal. Informal. It's an informal version of hockey played on ice.
Adol
Yeah. Where there's no lines, there's no goals, there's no sticks, there's no puck.
JPC
Yeah, it's very informal. It's on couches as well.
Adol
It's on couches. And you just sort of run and slide on your shins. Right.
JPC
You don't necessarily run sometimes it's just kind of like, informal, like. Yeah, yeah. Like you might run through a thought.
Adol
That's one of our own rappers.
JPC
I don't necessarily know that she's drowning because the ice she was playing on was just like ground ice in the middle of a field.
Adol
Oh, good call, Jacob. Hey, lady, are you okay?
Aaron
Yeah. I was playing shinny, and now I'm in the ice. Eh?
JPC
Are you in the ground? Are you in the dirt? Is it like an upside down from that shoal?
Aaron
What's going.
JPC
How. How. Where are you right now and why? Can we hear you?
Aaron
I'm under the surface level of the ice.
Adol
The ice or the ground? Okay.
JPC
Okay.
Adol
Do you want us to call somebody?
Aaron
Yes.
JPC
Well, I'm Amish, so I can't be calling anybody. I thought we were doing Amish. What voice are you doing?
Adol
Well, I was doing my local Manitoban accent.
JPC
Oh, well, I'm Amish Canadian, so that's why I'm speaking this way.
Aaron
And I'm playing hockey on not the ice scene. I think we nailed it. I think we need sandlot for shinny. I think we needed. I googled. I googled, okay? I googled and I found out what shinny was. What's my punishment? I'll take it. Lock me up. Throw away the key.
JPC
I mean, okay, I should get spankings. I don't know. Could we work this into somehow I get some spankings or.
Aaron
And yeah, that pause that you just heard was six hours. And we had to go through HR training again to confirm that spanking is the proper punishment here on Haven over at all.
JPC
You have to spank your jpc. Can I ask you guys a question? I'm sure.
Aaron
Can I google the answer?
JPC
That there have been words that you have heard that you have just forgotten the meaning of or whatever? Have you ever in your fucking life, even Remotely heard of shinny?
Aaron
No. And again, grew up with cousins who played hockey, like street hockey and stuff, and never heard that term.
JPC
If you had told me that shinny was coined in 2024, I would believe it. If. If you were like, oh, yeah, shinny is like huge on TikTok right now because it's like a TikTok thing. It's like, you know, whatever. It's skibidi toilet. Like, it's just. It's not something that existed before. I'd be like, yeah, of course.
Adol
Yeah.
Aaron
Yesterday I did Google what the word clandestine meant.
JPC
Oh, it's like a smaller orange, but it's. It's very. It's juicy inside. They grow up in the South.
Aaron
Yep, you got it.
JPC
See, this is why you never have to Google if you. If you just aren't no good knowledgers of smart like me.
Aaron
And for those of you who live outside the US this is why everything is happening.
Adol
I don't want to. Obviously we tee heed and hahaed past the last few moments here, but Aaron, there does need to be some consequences to your actions. So. Jpc.
JPC
Aaron. Excuse me. The way that she do it, the flagrant way she did it, she just threw it away like it was nothing. Like she didn't even think about it.
Adol
She just googled. So should we make her do like a 32nd second, like analog or like, should we.
JPC
Oh, you know what?
Adol
Yeah.
JPC
Casey, do you have the rap for Daddy track?
Adol
Oh my God, that's perfect.
JPC
Aaron, your topic is shinny.
Adol
You need to rap for about 30 seconds about shinny.
Aaron
How to put yourself into a coma.
Adol
She's doing it again. A minute. It's gonna be a minute now.
JPC
It's a minute now, Aaron. It's a minute.
Aaron
Shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty shinny. Shinny. Shitty, shitty shinny. Shitty shinny. Shinny, shitty shinny. Shitty, shitty, shitty shinny. I'm playing hockey and I like to. Don't. Don't. You guys, when I start, you cannot make a face. I. I demand. I get. I get a re. I gotta read to go again.
JPC
You're not even close to a minute. Just keep going.
Aaron
Okay, I got it, I got it.
JPC
Go.
Aaron
I'm playing hockey and with any luck I'm gonna get hit the puck. Jpc, you guys, we had a rule established that you have to turn off your cameras when I do that. Shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty shinny. Shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty shinny. Shitty shinny, Shitty shinny. Shitty, shitty shinny. Shitty shinny.
JPC
Really Running out the clock here.
Aaron
Who needs ice when you got something that's nice? The cement outside your house.
JPC
I think you play shitty on the ice.
Aaron
No, you don't.
JPC
The one thing you said was that you play.
Aaron
No, you play it. It's a pickup game of hockey. It's street hockey. Shinny, shitty, shinny, shiny. Shinny, shinny, shitty, shinna, shinna, shinna. I think it could be on the ice, though. He's cooling it. What rhymes with hockey?
JPC
Okay. Wow.
Adol
Well, we should probably take a break too.
JPC
Yeah, we need a break.
Adol
Tall, settle down. We'll be right back with more. Hey, riddle, riddle.
Aaron
I can I stare with existential dread into the corner during the whole break?
Adol
Yeah, that makes sense.
JPC
Yeah, that's fine.
Aaron
Thank you. And thank you. Um, you guys got good news.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron
The people from Tempo by Home Chef heard our last ad. They loved it.
JPC
Oh, okay.
Aaron
The songs that you made up.
JPC
Yes.
Aaron
Actually turned out to be songs that the genie from a certain movie sang. So we can't use any of the jingles that you guys wrote last time. So this time maybe we can talk about Tempo by Home Chef and then you guys can come up with new songs.
Adol
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh, yes. Aaron. Aaron. I love Tempo and I recently. I recently got their Sunday sauce meatballs. Sunday sauce Meatballs. Hey, who said Sunday? It comes with farro. Oh, yes. Oh, it's like a grain. Green beans and parmesan. Parmesan?
JPC
Yeah. I don't see the problem. I mean, we're just talking about how Tempo is a weekly delivery service that delivers chef crafted meals from a dietitian approved menu. Fresh to your door. And I think they're rather tasty.
Adol
Gotta eat Tempo. Gotta get Tempo.
JPC
It's not a genie song, but it's the one that I know.
Aaron
Tempo offers a variety of meals from different dietary and taste preferences, including protein packed, calorie conscious, carb conscious, and fiber rich. Wanna pop that? Does that work?
Adol
I'll also say I had the shrimp and corn rotini.
Aaron
Mm, mm, mm.
Adol
Ready in minutes. Absolutely delicious. Comes with a spicy tomato cream sauce.
JPC
Mm.
Adol
I don't need six eggs.
Aaron
Well, that's something else. That's gotta be something else.
Adol
But it's adjacent, Aaron, with new recipes.
JPC
Each week that are made with real ingredients. Real ingredients and nutrient rich. They make it easy to keep up. How many songs does the genie sing? A healthy lifestyle.
Aaron
Perfectly portioned lunches and dinners take the guesswork out of eating. Well, all is fully prepared. It can be heated in the microwave in just three minutes.
JPC
Hey, let Me ask you a question.
Aaron
I'm going insane.
JPC
The guy that does the opening speech in Aladdin, is that Robin Williams? Is that right? That's a different guy.
Adol
It's got to be Jafar, right?
Aaron
No, no, no, no, no, no.
JPC
It's the Merchant. The Merchant. Yeah. Yeah, that guy. Because if it's Robin Williams, it's bad, and if it's not Robin Williams, he's doing, like, a Robin Williams cadence. Anyway, something to think about.
Adol

JPC
Adel, you have a. You have a great genie. All right, so I heard back from Helix. They loved our last ad.
Aaron
Great.
JPC
There was. Yeah, I guess there was a little bit of problem, Aaron, because that. The song that you sang in that ad was technically one of Sebastian the Crab's songs. So they couldn't. Yeah, they couldn't use it for the ad. So what Helix said was that they wanted us to do. If we could just do, like, original music for, like, any future ads.
Adol
Okay.
Aaron
The softer that. The mattress is always softer.
JPC
No.
Aaron
Cause it's from Helix.
Adol
I had the best night's sleep of my life. Okay.
JPC
So. No, you both did more Sebastian the Crab songs. So. Yeah. I'm wondering where we're getting our wires crossed. Why don't I just.
Aaron
Cushion, string, mattress, pillow.
JPC
Why don't I tell you a little bit about Helix Sleep? So, like, Helix Sleep is the most comfortable mattress you will ever sleep on. I have a midnight luxe mattress from Helix Sleep. It's like sleeping on a cloud. It is. I look forward to going to bed every night because I know I'm going to have such good, deep, relaxing sleep on this mattress. So, like, what does that kind of inspire you to think?
Adol
Yeah. Well, like, a little crab would come out and be like, Helix Sleep, and it would be a different voice than this. Helix Sleep is, like, the absolute comfiest. Here's the thing, jbc. Before I had a Helix Sleep, I used to toss and turn all night. Right now I'm out like a light. I dream vivid, beautiful dreams of a.
Aaron
Crab singing about they're sleeping, sleeping in a Helix mattress.
Adol
So Adol has a midnight luxe, and it's so darn comfy.
JPC
Here's the thing. So it shouldn't on paper. Helix Sleep has nothing to do with crabs. The sea people.
Adol
I don't sleep on paper. I sleep on a Helix mattress.
JPC
That's good.
Aaron
This is a true story. The other day I was moving my bed and then I got tired because that's exhausting, moving a bed by yourself. And I laid down on my mattress and I was like, that's actually quite nice. And I just did like a 30 minute rest. No phone, no nothing. Just not sleeping. Just like, this is so nice. It's a great mattress, truly.
JPC
Okay. And it's not for crabs and it has nothing to do with the songs that they sing. So here's what I'll say. Go to helixsleep.com riddle for the Memorial Day sale. That is 27% off site wide, plus free bedding bundle, which is a sheet set and mattress protector with any luxe or elite mattress order. That's helixsleep.com Riddle for the Memorial Day sale. Helixsleep.com Riddle R I D L E.
Aaron
The mattress is always softer in somebody else's bed. You dream about sleeping in there with.
Adol
A pillow under your head.
Aaron
Yes. Jpc. They have to like this jpc. Good news. I got some thing for Mariah for Mother's Day.
JPC
Oh, that's so nice. I also got a little something for Mariah for Mother's Day.
Aaron
Well, Beverly Shubadoo did my alter ego that's trying to steal your wife.
JPC
Yeah, that makes sense. Mine is a Beverly Shoebidou repellent spray and Mariah can just kind of clip it to her little lapel. And then if any Beverly Shoebudoos get too close, it spritz, spritz. Game over.
Aaron
She's not going to want to use it. You know what she does want and what I got her is an Aura digital picture frame.
JPC
Oh, that's a better gift.
Aaron
Yeah.
JPC
Oh, that's a better gift.
Aaron

JPC
I mean, the functionality is great. I don't love the execution of it. Adel, you want to jump in here?
Aaron
Adol's on my side.
Adol
Yeah, I'll Say two years ago, I got my mom an aura frame. It's her favorite gift she's ever received. She won't stop talking about it. Sometimes I'll come to visit her and she's like, why'd you come? I have all these photos of you. No need. So it almost. It's almost too good a gift. Too good of a gift.

JPC
Bidoo shoo ba do.
Aaron
And I trust you're going to play this for her.
JPC
Oh, she won't listen.
Aaron
Guys, do you think people are gonna remember my shinny rap?
Adol
No, no.
JPC
What rap? What is there to remember?
Aaron
What rhymes with hockey? Smart asses.
Adol
Pocky. Mr. Spocky Malarkey. Mr. Spocky.
JPC
Tick. Tocky the Clocky. I mean, Chalky. Yeah.
Aaron
I would like you guys to. For each of you to have to rap about hockey. Casey coming back from break with them rapping about hockey, please.
Adol
Well, hold on. We didn't Google anything.
Aaron
There we go. Go ahead.
JPC
Uh.
Adol
Uh, yeah. 2025. Cha boy. Ha. I love hockey and that's so real. I love skating with my blades of steel. I hit the buck in the net. I slam you into the boards. But don't fret, I got overtime. It's sudden death. That's what I meant with my last breath, Mario Lemieux. It's cool.
JPC
Oh. Oh.
Adol
Oh.
Aaron
Wow. I tried to make you look bad and you made me look bad. If I don't end up playing for the Bruins, I'll be in ruins.
Adol
Whoa. Aaron. Where was that?
Aaron
I don't know.
JPC
Why are you surprised? When you challenge people to rap battles that you're like, oh, no, they're better.
Adol
And, you know, played some hockey. Some hockey.
Aaron
Gbc. Would you like to rap about hockey?
JPC
Yeah, sure. Why not?
Aaron
Okay. Go ahead.
JPC
Yeah, well. Well, you can find me in the penalty box. That's where I go when I clean your clock. I'm on the ice because I like to fight. I don't play hockey. I bring a knife. It's just shinny. And the rules are the streets, and the street is ice because that's where we meet in the backyard in the winter, it's not played on ice. And freezes, we get splinter. Shitty is played on ice. I checked.
Aaron
No, it's not. Why do we call it street hockey, then, Aaron?
JPC
Shinny is play. The first thing that you said was it was an adorable game of hockey played on ice. That's what you said.
Aaron
No, I said it's a.
JPC
Hey, I'm still rapping about shitty, y' all. So let's go to the shopping mall and buy some equipment. I'm talking sticks and pucks. And then we can buy some Canucks.
Aaron
It is also used as another term for street hockey.
Adol
Oh, she Googled again. She googled again.
Aaron
Shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty, shitty.
Adol
Aaron found the one loophole, which is to just say the word a million times.
Aaron
What's so funny is Zorp is here in another room doing his very real job. And I can hear Zorp. Zorp.
Adol
Oh, Zorp. The name I came up with for your significant other.
Aaron
Yeah. And I can, like, hear bits and pieces of that. And so it's interesting to sort of have what this is happening in tandem.
JPC
Sometimes I'll be doing that where there will be, like, a lull in what I'm doing, and I can hear Mariah doing her real job in her office. And, like, it'll be, like, quiet for a second for us. We'll be, like, on a break or something. And I'll hear Mariah in her office being like, shne. Shinna. Sha ne. Shinna sha ne. And I'm like, yeah, she's working.
Aaron
My wife. She's working.
Adol
Yeah. And sometimes I'm recording and I can hear Gemma watching Broad City.
Aaron
Oh, that sounds so fun. You should go do that. All right, we're ready for some more riddles that are going to make me.
JPC
Sad and mad adult just slowly sliding out of frame. And we could just Hear Broad City. YouTube, like, right next to him.
Adol
There's a episode where they're, like, near a park and somebody kicks a soccer ball, and it goes right between Ilana and Abby, and Abby goes, I got it. And it's something I say like, once a week around the house.
JPC
Do you guys think about, like, perfect jokes from, like, episodes of TV shows?
Aaron
All the time?
JPC
When I think of, like, great jokes, or I'm like, oh, I love this joke. Or from a movie or something like that, where this is just a phenomenal joke. I also think of the person who wrote it because I think a lot of the times you associate the thing that you see with the actor or whatever that's doing it, but not with the person that wrote it. I think about that person that wrote it and how it must be so cool to be like, yeah, I wrote that joke. I wrote that joke that someone who never knows my name or won't know what I look like thinks about all the time. I think that's a very fun experience.
Aaron
You know what I love? There's a part in Tina Fey's book that came out, like, 15 years ago. Boston Seats. Yes. Where she goes through all of the 30 rock writers who were there for the first few years, and she tells us her favorite joke done by each writer and really gives them their flowers. And it's so cool because it's like she says, donald Glover's favorite or her favorite joke of Donald Glover's and Kay Cannon and all these people who are, like, the titans of the industry. And it's so cool that she just focused and gave them some praise for that. I think that's awesome. I had this conversation on Friday about favorite jokes from a movie ever, and I think mine is Murder by Death, the Neil Simon play that they turned into movie. It's unwatchable now because it's very racist. But there's a part in the movie. It's a bunch of detectives who go to, like, a house. Yeah. In the countryside to solve a murder. And they all show up. All these detectives show up, and they're all trying to solve it together, but they're, like, one upping each other. Cause they're all the world's best detectives. And Peter Falk plays the New York trench coat hat detective. And he's there with his tall arm candy, like a very Coco Cashmere character. And he does a monologue to this room of detectives that's so cool and so confident. And then he finishes it and he's like, all right, well, I'm gonna go take a leak. I'll be back. And then his girlfriend goes, you'll have to excuse him. He got shot in the head last week. He shouldn't even be out of the hospital. And it just completely lowers his status from 100 to 0 in one line and makes him look like a fucking idiot. It's a very. Hey, riddle. Riddle thing. Yeah. Excuse him. He got shot in the head last week. He shouldn't even be out of the hospital.
JPC
Aaron, is Batman featured in this movie?
Aaron
No. What is this joke that you're doing?
JPC
I'm just. You said it was the greatest detectives in. Obviously, Batman is history's greatest detective. So it's just kind of interesting.
Aaron
I'd like to see a scene, a mission there. Adol. You are Sherlock Holmes and you are meeting Batman, who's played by JPC and jpc. You're trying to really establish yourself as being on the same level as him.
Adol
Ah, I presume you got my telegraph. You're looking well, chap. Let's see here. Rubber inlay makeup under the eyes, gray hair on your boot suggesting some sort of father figure or butler. You're Bruce Wayne takes out violin.
JPC
Okay. Batman usually doesn't do this. But I'm not dead. Not dead. Again, again, again. Go to sleep, go to sleep, go to sleep. Okay, so it looks like the Joker really killed this guy. Oh man, the Joker really killed this guy.
Aaron
Mr. Holmes, I've returned from being a doctor and. Oh, Hello. Hey, I'm Dr. John Watson.
JPC
So the Joker was just here at fucking end. Terrible.
Aaron
Not dead, not dead, not dead.
JPC
I'm gonna see. I'm gonna sick. I'm gonna see.
Adol
Ah, finally. Someone has bested my brother. Ha ha. Clap, clap, clap.
JPC
You saw that, huh? All right, here we go. Not that. Why is this? It's a snack snap. It should be killing everyone first thing. Not then. Terrible day for Batman. Terrible day.
Aaron
What are your guys favorite jokes from a movie or TV show?
JPC
Mine would have to be anything I've ever said on this show that was funny.
Aaron
Aw.
Adol
I mean, I stand by. I think I've said it before. I think Sopranos is the funniest show ever made. I think there's an episode of Sopranos called Pine Barrens or Poly Walnuts and Christopher are like in the middle of the woods and they're looking for maybe like a Ukrainian guy or some guy, a foreign guy who they were taking out into the woods to kill, but he got away. And at some point I think Tony calls Polly Walnuts and is like, be careful. This guy used to be part of the interior ministry in this other country. He's from. And da da da da. But there's a poor signal because they're in the middle of the New Jersey forests. So Polly gets off the phone and Christopher's like, what tone say? And he's like, the guy used to be interior decorator. Can you believe that?
Aaron
That's perfect.
Adol
And I just love. Yeah, I just love that he heard all that. He heard like interior ministry and all that. And he's like, you should be an interior decorator. Can you believe that?
JPC
Oh, you know what, There's a scene in the 40 year old version where Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen Are playing video games directly to camera. And they're doing this phenomenal back and forth where they're saying, do you know how I know you're gay? Do you know how I know you're gay? And it just ages 2007 fine.
Aaron
Oh, God.
Adol
One of my favorite TV jokes is from 30 Rock, where Alec Baldwin's character is Jack. No. Yeah. It's confusing because Jack McBrayer's in it, but Alec Baldwin goes to Kenneth. He goes, kenneth, a word.
Aaron
Balloon.
Adol
Summoning him into the office. Yeah. And Kenneth just goes, balloon.
Aaron
It's perfect. It's so perfect. Balloon.
JPC
A show that got worse as it went on, but there the. And I think it's coming back for some reason. It doesn't matter. But Ted lasso, there's a joke in the. I think the pilot of Ted lasso, where the. His boss, the. That woman. I can't remember.
Adol
Something.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, whatever. But Ted lasso's boss, who's like this, you know, upper crust British woman, says, I just got off the phone with. I just got off the phone with the owner of the sun. And Ted lasso says, you spoke to God. And I think that's so.
Aaron
That's awesome.
JPC
That's a very fun joke.
Aaron
You know, it would be a fun idea for a patreon episode, but it would require a little bit of homework. Sorry, guys. Sorry, sorry, sorry. But if we each brought in, like, eight moments from comedies that we liked and we like, ping. Like, it was like a show and.
JPC
Talk, we could do a bracket. We could do a best joke bracket, too. Aaron.
Aaron
Oh, fun.
JPC
That would be fun.
Aaron
Oh, and we each do one.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron
Oh, my gosh. Okay, I'll go first. I'll go first.
JPC
It's just the same joke over and over and over. We all have the same.
Aaron
We all put the Kenneth balloon one in, and it wins every time.
Adol
I was gonna say mine's gonna be very Spaceballs loaded.
JPC
Yeah. I could just do my. I could just do, like, the best of 40 jokes or whatever from the movie airplane. I think I can just grab. I think I can just grab those.
Adol
So good.
JPC
All right, let's do another riddle. Adult.
Adol
Here's your next riddle. I'm simple for a few people, but hard for them to hear. I live inside of secrets. I bring people's worst fears. What am I?
JPC
Grim reaper.
Aaron
Can you read it again?
Adol
I'm simple for a few people, but hard for them to hear. I live inside of secrets. I bring people's worst fears. What am I and Grim reaper?
Aaron
Death.
Adol
Not clothes.
JPC
I live inside of secrets. Is it like. Is that like a word that exists inside secrets?
Adol
No, but I like where your head's at, which is right on top of that beautiful neck.
Aaron
What the hell?
Adol
I'm simple for a few people, but hard for them to hear.
JPC
I live in my clavicle's fucking bomb.com, so I understand.
Adol
I bring people's worst fears. What am I?
JPC
I bring people's worst fears.
Aaron
Emails, phone calls.
Adol
So I think the.
JPC
Okay. Kind of getting a little look inside of Aaron's life.
Adol
The line that's maybe most helpful is hard for them to hear. So this is something that's hard for some people to hear.
Aaron
Music, notes, screams.
JPC
Is it like a certain tone?
Adol
No.
JPC
Okay.
Adol
And there might even be an old ad, very close gossip. The truth, the truth, the truth. It's the truth and nothing but the truth.
JPC
I live inside of secrets. Wow.
Adol
I do want to see a scene. Jpc, you are cross examining a witness who seemingly can't stop telling lies. Aaron, you are that witness on stand who is sort of flexing your fibbage.
Aaron
Sure.
JPC
Now, the story that you just told.
Aaron
Sure.
JPC
To the defense, there was some. How to put this, so maybe some creative liberties that you took with that story. Do you think that's fair to say?
Aaron
I don't think that's fair to say. I was a model in Milan and I have been in a hot air balloon that traveled the world.
JPC
Now, those things, those may or may not be true, but when we're looking at the timeline of events, you said just moments ago that you slept for 100 hours.
Aaron
100 hours. I slept.
JPC
How many days is 100 hours?
Aaron
Two, maybe one.
JPC
Okay, one. So would it be more fair to say that you maybe slept for 24.
Aaron
Hours, which is still slept for 100 hours.
JPC
Okay. Okay. So you slept for 100 hours.
Aaron
Yes. And I'm related to Steve Martin and the Roosevelts and the Queen. Well, I mean, I have royal blood.
JPC
Given a long enough trajectory, I think all of us maybe have some sort of, you know, roots in something akin to a royal. The Steve Martin one. The shock of gray hair.
Aaron
He's my uncle. But I have a new phone, so his number's not on my phone yet.
JPC
If you could please just stick to answering the questions that were asked of you. This is a murder trial. Of course we are trying, you know, this is, and this is very serious. You're a witness.
Aaron
Of course I saw a murder. I've seen actually a lot of murders. 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100100 hours of sleep and 100 murders.
JPC
Okay, so these murders were murders that you saw in dreams?
Aaron
No, I've seen so many murders, I've actually been a witness in like over a million trials.
JPC
Yeah, I know. Meredith, you may remember me, we've done this a lot of times before.
Aaron
We've done this before.
JPC
Yeah. Where I have cross examined you and brings you in as an expert witness to a murder.
Aaron
Yes.
JPC
And you understand that there's usually not a thing that's an expert witness to a murder. Usually the witnesses are like, there at the time. Like an expert witness would be like a forensic.
Aaron
All I'm saying is she was definitely murdered.
JPC
Okay, so that's. You've already misgendered the deceased. It was a he.
Aaron
Oh, okay. Well, then he was for sure murdered.
JPC
Yeah, I can get.
Aaron
Or the murderer.
JPC
What's that?
Aaron
Or the murderer.
JPC
Or the murderer.
Aaron
Yeah, probably one of those two. Right. If he was there when it happened.
JPC
Your Honor.
Aaron
Your Honor, he was either an accomplice, a witness, a murder or murderee.
JPC
Your Honor, I. May I approach the bench, please? Okay, this is unorthodox, but would it be possible if instead the state dropped all charges on the accused and just kind of switched.
Aaron
I'm going to the Oscars later.
JPC
Sure you are.
Aaron
I have to take off and go to the Oscars.
JPC
Okay, so, yeah, so we're gonna. And then could we also just call for like a. What's it called? Like a bitch trial where you just. No, no, I'm just like. Like a speedy, you know, where you just kind of bang the gavel. We get the fuck rid of her forever.
Adol
Oh, sure. Forced exit.
JPC
I believe I call it forced exit. And can we expedite the death penalty for Meredith? Would that be possible?
Aaron
Yeah, I invented TikTok. Uh huh.
Adol
Okay. Gavel, gave, gavel. Take her away.
JPC
Whoa, Judge, judge, let's let all these things.
Aaron
All these things are true.
Adol
Bye.
JPC
Bye.
Aaron
Typical corruption in the courts.
Adol
Ain't I a stinker?
JPC
It turns out she did sleep for a hundred hours and she saw 100 murders.
Adol
You guys, I. Mrs. Van Winkle was telling the truth.
Aaron
I. I have. I'm sick. I have a sickness. I have become obsessed with the Karen Reid trial. And I think it's just because it's happening in Massachusetts, where I grew up, it's in Canton, where I danced for my whole adolescence. I cannot stop Googling it, thinking about it, talking about it, calling my family back.
Adol
On episode. Not on the episode, Aaron. Every day I wake up to what could only be described as a shotgun blast to the face of news.
Aaron
Right. Who is Karen Reed?
Adol
Who's Karen Reed?
Aaron
That's adol. That's so fucking funny. A shotgun blast in the face of news is exactly how it feels.
Adol
I can't cry for 10 hours a day and learn more about what's going on in the world.
JPC
Aaron, is this something that the true crime girlies are plugged into or is.
Aaron
This like, okay, I would say so. There's an HBO documentary. Last year she went through trial. There was a mistrial for it. And now this past week, the new trial has started. It is fascinating. Jbc, it's a real ACAB kind of case. So Karen Reed is this woman who is dating a Canton police officer in Massachusetts.
JPC
By the way, big disclaimer, Terrible idea if that happens to be you right now. Get out. Not good.
Aaron
They were together and then they were drinking one night and then she drove drunk and dropped him off at a house party because they were in a fight. And then she drove away and he. The next morning they found him dead in the snow in front of that house. She's being accused of hitting him, like manslaughter with her car and driving away.
JPC
Got it.
Aaron
But the people in that house were Boston cops. And public opinion is that the people in the house killed him because one, someone in the house at two in the morning Googled how long to die in the cold. And then they. They Boston cops.
Adol
That's why we don't use Google.
JPC
Yeah, we've all done some Googling like that at 2:00am yeah.
Aaron
What is shinny pillow over face wife? But they, they never. They never went. The Boston cops that investigated never went into the house. They sold the house. They rehomed their dog. They got rid of all their cell phones. The people in the house like it. And this is a real moment of. I saw the dog saw something.
JPC
Yeah, we know the dog saw something.
Aaron
On the Internet, say, it is not illegal to be a crazy bitch. And Karen Reid is like kind of an unlikable person. And that is why they're able to like pin this on her. But it is so such a clear cop corruption, like. And even if she did it, they blew it so much. They were putting like the evidence in grocery bags. They were deleting footage from things like. It is the most corrupt cop stuff in their defense.
Adol
Aaron. Yeah, there's not a party I've been to in my life where after leaving, I didn't ditch my phone and buy a new one. I feel like that is common practice.
JPC
I'm Constantly rehousing spaghetti is. It was the mistrial. Was the first mistrial because they, like, they kept, like, interviewing, like, witnesses, and they're like, okay, so we killed him, but we didn't want to get. Fuck. Can we do a. Well, can we do a.
Aaron
What is so crazy about this and what. One of the very small details of this case that I find super fascinating is someone who was on was a jury alternate last year. Who. They weren't on her jury, but they were the ones like, in case someone gets sick. So they have to be in the courtroom every time.
JPC
Yeah, gotta be.
Aaron
There is. They were a lawyer and they felt so passionate about this case that they joined her defense team after it. And they agreed. They actually. In the. In the thing, in the thing last year, they agreed that she wasn't guilty, but they. They. It was a hung jury on some of the other things that lower charges.
JPC
Or whatever the lower.
Aaron
And so that's why they're having to redo it. But, you guys, it's so crazy because it's just like the cop that investigated her has now since been fired. And cops don't get fired because they let cops do whatever the fuck they want. But in, like, the investigation, he's, like, talking about trying to find nudes of her on her phone. He's like, texting other cops. It is like having grown up in Massachusetts and knowing how cops can be in Massachusetts. It is. I'm just. I cannot stop thinking about it. I'm sorry that I've overtaken this episode, but you guys got to look into it. It's crazy.
Adol
What's the documentary on tv?
Aaron
On hbo. And you get some pretty good Boston accents in it.
JPC
What's the documentary is called hbo?
Aaron
No, it's on hbo. I don't know what it's called. I can't Google it. I think it's just called, like, Karen Reed.
JPC
Hold on. You can Google shinny and shit. But now we're, like, asking you for, like, you were giving a recommendation to us, and we're like, can we have.
Aaron
The name of the Karen read into the Max app? And I listened to a podcast that. Two lawyers talking about it, and it's just so interesting. It's just like, yeah, it's a lot, if you, like, are interested in how the court system works in the United States. It is fascinating. And I'm not saying I know what happened, but I am saying that this is a very interesting trial to watch.
JPC
Eren, would you flip out if you got to the end of this whole Thing. And you found out that Adnan did it.
Adol
Yeah, Adnan said.
JPC
Adnan said. Yeah, Right. Adnan.
Aaron
Male Kemp.
Adol
Which. That pronunciation made them become, like, an $80 million business.
JPC
Yeah. It put male Kemp on the map.
Adol
Yeah. That's crazy.
JPC
Male Kemp.
Adol
Male Kemp. What was. Okay, Adnan said. There's a name scratching at the back of my brain.
JPC
Is it cereal?
Adol
What are you looking for another. It's another name from cereal. Asia.
JPC
Asia. Was Asia Friend.
Adol
Okay.
JPC
Of the girlfriend or something.
Adol
Asia Malone. Asia.
JPC
Hey, we can't know. We simply can't know.
Adol
But.
JPC
But I'm sure Aaron would be so interested in this if it weren't for serial, which kind of put true crime on the fricking map.
Aaron
Yeah.
Adol
Oh, yeah.
Aaron
I will say, though, everyone in Massachusetts is like, this is the only thing people are talking about. I went to pick up my nieces from the bus stop, and all the moms were like, oh, my God. Because they were all eligible to be in the jury.
JPC
So they're like, that makes sense. God.
Aaron
What do you think?
Adol
That's wild. So it's still ongoing.
Aaron
It's still ongoing. It's like we are in the thick of it, and every day is a new huge, crazy thing. Someone just admitted to lying under oath last year. One of the women. You guys. You got caught. You got everybody. We gotta talk about it.
Adol
Okay, I was gonna say one more riddle, but we already plugged, so one more riddle. We'll see here. Okay, we got that one. Here we go. Next riddle. What is neither inside the house nor outside the house, but a necessity for any home?
JPC
Door.
Aaron
Door.
Adol
Very close. Jpc.
Aaron
Doorbell. Door knob.
Adol
Miss. What? Both of you said. No, door knob is definitely inside.
Aaron
Window.
Adol
Window. It's window.
JPC
Oh, you make a better door than a window. That's what God always used to tell me.
Aaron
I'd like to see a scene.
Adol
Okay.
Aaron
Jpc, you are JP Riddles. And you're building a new home. And Adol is your contractor, and you're telling him some of the specific stuff you're looking to have in your home.
JPC
All right. Legally, in the state of Massachusetts, I am barred from entering through the door of a home. So all I'm asking is that all the windows are doors and all the doors are windows. Does that make sense? Cause what you've done is build a standard home.
Adol
Yes, I.
JPC
But I can't enter through the door. I have to enter through the windows. Or if the doors are windows and windows are doors.
Adol
Yeah.
JPC
That I can enter the home.
Adol
Okay. I'm just. I'm trying to follow Massachusetts sort of protocol.
JPC
Throw that out. Let's talk brass tacks. How's my rabbit oven coming?
Adol
Throw it out the door or the.
JPC
Window, it doesn't matter. It just can't be near me, man. How's the rabbit oven coming?
Adol
And I've told you a million times. Any ovens? A rabbit oven if you put a rabbit in it.
JPC
No, it is not an oven to cook a rabbit. It is an oven that can be operated by a rabbit. So it has to be very small and very close to the floor because they don't go up on counters.
Adol
Okay.
JPC
I'll tell you a million times. My chef is a rabbit.
Adol
Okay.
JPC
My chef is a rabbit. My chef is a rabbit.
Adol
Okay? If we go further into. I trust you. If we go further into the home, you see I've replaced all the stairs with poles.
JPC
Oh, good. Okay. And some of these are trick pulls.
Adol
Some of them are like traps. The minute you grab them, they fall apart. Yep.
JPC
You fall. They fall apart.
Adol
Yep.
JPC
Cuz I got lots of invaders. I get lots of invaders.
Adol
That's what you mentioned. And there are buttons all around the house that you can press. And the floor will open up, down into a shoot to the basement.
JPC
There shouldn't be buttons. The floor should just open at random. I can't mess with buttons. I can't mess with. And you said I can shoot in the basement.
Adol
You can shoot the basement.
JPC
Okay, good. Because I've been getting pretty good at bow and arrow. Now, my bow and arrow is a little bit different because it's bones and arrow. And so I'm using bones to shoot arrows. But the arrows are bones.
Adol
Huh.
JPC
Basically, I get a big bag of bones and I just chuck that shit into the basement. And if you're telling me that that's legal, then we're gonna be okay. A. Okay.
Adol
Yeah.
JPC
How does it smell in the house?
Adol
Very bad. There's clearly dead fish in the walls.
JPC
Use the paint that I use. The paint that I recommended.
Adol
I did.
JPC
I squeezed all that paint from fish. That's fish paint.
Adol
It's blood. The walls are painted in blood.
JPC
Fish don't have blood. They have paint because they have gills.
Adol
Whatever you say, sir.
JPC
Thank you. I'm the one who signs your checks. American sign language. I know it. I was taught it by a raccoon. And I use it to sign your checks.
Adol
Well, you've just been doing sort of a finger slightly down and then up at an angle that's slightly down.
JPC
I'm fingering down all over that raccoon.
Adol
You can't say that to me.
JPC
I can't what to you can I get. How much longer is it gonna be until the house is ready? Give it to me. In Earth months, legally.
Adol
I mean, the house is technically ready right now.
JPC
What?
Adol
The house is ready now?
JPC
There's no lid.
Adol
Roof.
JPC
No, I see the roof. There's no lid.
Adol
Okay, I can.
JPC
This house is gonna be. Oh, this house is gonna be full of bugs. A house needs a lid if I want to put a big jar around it to keep all the bugs inside.
Adol
I've seen you bring bugs in by the bucketful. You brought these in?
JPC
Yeah. Why do you think I'm wearing a lid on my head right now above my hat? To keep the bugs inside.
Adol
I didn't want to ask.
JPC
Well, you didn't need to ask because your bugs are probably all gobbledygook all around the place. Your bugs all escaping because you're not wearing a lid on your head.
Adol
Sassafras. Sassafras. Was that the safe word? Sassafras. I want to leave. I wish. Can I leave?
JPC
Oh, you want to leave. Fine. Fine. But before you go, let's be honest with each other for one minute. I don't own this house. I never did.
Adol
What?
JPC
I don't own this house.
Adol
Oh, no. There's a car pulling up. Who's it? Oh, shit.
JPC
It's the owner.
Adol
It's the owner.
JPC
Oh, here we go. Yeah, it's a chicken seed. This house I owned by my friend who's a chicken. He let me stay here.
Aaron
I'm so glad I was fighting the urge to see JP Riddles this whole time. And I'm so glad I didn't fight it any longer because that was heaven.
JPC
I worked your bones thing in too, Aaron. I got some bones in there.
Aaron
I know. I meant a lot to me. I noticed. Huge, huge day for Aaron Keith. Well, we already did plugs, so. Jupiter. Bye. Too scary? Too abrupt?
JPC
No, it's fun.
Aaron
Too sick in the head.
JPC
Mad world.
Adol
Casey.
