Aaron Keefe
You guys, just as a heads up, Casey has been putting shit like this before the episode starts. I don't know if people have been checking in if we say any nonsense.
JPC
Before the recording, and honestly, I support it. Casey. It's funny. It's funny when you do that. All right? But this comes out so far in the future that Jorge Santos is probably. He's already probably, like, found dead in his jail cell, so we don't have to worry about it.
Aaron Keefe
And same with us as well. Probably.
JPC
Ye. Both of them were goldfish. It was the cannon of an airplane. He stabbed him with an ice.
Adol Refai
Excuse me. Are you here to see the live taping of the hey. Riddle Riddle Podcast?
Aaron Keefe
Yes, I am. I have a ticket here.
Adol Refai
Great. Thank you so much.
Aaron Keefe
Very excited.
JPC
And I'm actually in the show.
Adol Refai
Oh, Mr. Refy, it is always a pleasure.
JPC
Please. My friends call me Shoki.
Adol Refai
Oh, isn't that your daddy?
JPC
What's that?
Adol Refai
Isn't that your dad's name?
JPC
Isn't that my dad's name?
Adol Refai
I'm sorry, I shouldn't be asking you questions because you're the. You're asking the questions today. Huh?
JPC
Is that my dad's name?
Adol Refai
I think so.
JPC
What's my middle name?
Adol Refai
Shoki.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
But I think in Arab culture, sometimes your dad's name becomes your middle name.
JPC
Sometimes in Arab cultures, your dad's name becomes your middle name.
Aaron Keefe
So I have my ticket pulled up, and I'm just sort of waiting for you to scan it.
Adol Refai
Ma' am. I'm talking to one of the stars of the show.
Aaron Keefe
I don't want to interrupt you. I just also.
JPC
So I get a middle name, and then somehow my dad's name becomes my middle name.
Adol Refai
Mm.
JPC
So my dad chose the name Shoki, and then it was like, oh, fuck, I forgot. Now I'm called Shoki.
Aaron Keefe
Can I just walk in?
Adol Refai
No.
Aaron Keefe
See my tickets on my phone?
Adol Refai
No, because you have to be photographed next to. We actually brought in some penguins and put them in baseball gear. Just as, like, a fun stunt. The penguins are actually biting a lot of people. But we do have to look at them.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, they look really upset.
Adol Refai
They're pissed.
JPC
Wait a Second in the email. The penguins are supposed to be dead. These are supposed to be stuffed penguins. Ma' Am, I see your face. We weren't going to kill penguins. These are existing dead penguins.
Aaron Keefe
Why are you using air quotes when you tell me this?
JPC
Oh, shit. I forgot that people can see me in real life. Usually I just do that on the podcast that I get away with. Okay, can we give her the dead penguin treatment? Can we?
Adol Refai
Make way. Make way. Well, my name is Aaron and I'm here to say make way.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, God. Actually, I am gonna head home, I think. I can't do this, man. I can't do this. No, no.
Adol Refai
Co host Aaron Keefe is right behind you.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I know. See you guys later. Well, that was rude. That was kind of crazy and rude.
JPC
Hey, JPC's here.
Adol Refai
JPC.
Aaron Keefe
Hey.
JPC
Wow. Well, his name's JPC. Imagine JPC calling something crazy and rude. It really must have been crazy and rude.
Aaron Keefe
Where do I park my horse? Closer. The horse is horny.
JPC
Put that fist. Puts out fist. Park your horse right here. Puts out fist.
Aaron Keefe
That is something Adol would say.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Yes. Adol would say fisting a horse. Of course.
JPC
You know what JPC would say? JPC would say, hey, it's jpc. Welcome to hey Riddle. Riddle. That's Adel, and over there is Aaron Keefe.
Aaron Keefe
Help.
JPC
No, no, no. No help for you. Okay, no help for you.
Aaron Keefe
You guys go ahead.
Adol Refai
For today's episode, call me Shoki.
Aaron Keefe
Okay?
JPC
Call me Shoki.
Adol Refai
Aaron, what we're doing.
Aaron Keefe
I love that song. I love that song. I was going to say I. I'm. I had one of the best nights of my life recently.
JPC
Oh, wait, Aaron, Was this the magical 24 hours that we spent together?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, no. Well, I actually contacted a priest after those 24 hours and I asked him if hell could be on earth and he said yes. He said, thank you.
JPC
You should have called a locksmith to get those fucking handcuffs off. Okay. I don't know. I don't know why you weren't calling anybody. You think? I had a great time. Me handcuffed to Aaron. Aaron on her phone the whole fucking time.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, to try to Google how to get out of handcuffs.
JPC
Try to Google.
Aaron Keefe
All right, babe, whatever.
JPC
How was your night?
Aaron Keefe
Whatever. So I went and. Adult. You would have loved this. I went to a community theater production of Cats.
Adol Refai
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Aaron Keefe
I took an edible and I went. And I had. I beamed up to space is what happened. And now Cats is stuck in my head. It was. It was so fun. The People. I went with, like, seven people. And everyone just decided to have the time of their lives. And everyone. We were all dancing. We were enthusiastic. We bought cat ears for $3.
JPC
Oh. At the show.
Aaron Keefe
At the show.
JPC
Wow. Smart.
Aaron Keefe
You guys. It was a Jellicoe ball. I. I had the time of my life. I did. I. A lot of these seven people I had not met before. And two moments happened that made me laugh so hard. At the intermission, I was like, I was the only one who was really high. Right. Everyone else was sort of high on life. And they were like, well, you're plugged into something that we probably can't see in this production. And I was like, yeah. I mean, I'm really in it. I really feel like they're cats or Cats the Matrix. But also, I was like, I feel like I know what choreography is coming next. I'm experiencing time in sort of a different way currently.
JPC
Interesting.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. So I felt like if anyone were to have gotten hurt, I would have known what to do. So I was sort of on that level. And at the intermission, this woman. Yeah.
Adol Refai
What does that mean?
JPC
Well, I. You lost me on the. Someone gets hurt, you know. What are you saying? Like, you know, cat cpr. What's going.
Aaron Keefe
No, no. Like, if someone were to get hurt on stage, I could take over for them.
JPC
Oh, you could. Okay, gotcha.
Adol Refai
That makes sense.
JPC
That's the big concern. Have you ever seen a live event if someone gets hurt on stage? The big concern is how. How do we keep the show going?
Aaron Keefe
Yes, of course. Well, I'm a vet, so I could treat the cats that are on the stage. A woman that I had not met before. I'm in a row of people, and everyone's like, who's your favorite cat? And I go, well, right now, I think it's Mungo Jerry and Rumpel tz. And she went, huh?
Adol Refai
Wait, this is a breed? Or what did she mean?
Aaron Keefe
No, like a cat in the show. But I like mumble, generally. And then also, I said those words, and I felt so neck exposed, embarrassed. And I was like, no, you're right. The sounds I'm making are nonsense sounds.
Adol Refai
Aaron, say those two names again, as if you are high out of your mind. Who are your favorite cats?
Aaron Keefe
Right now? It's probably Mumbo Jerry and Drumpletees.
Adol Refai
Okay, I hear it.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Mumbo Jerry and Drumple Teases.
Aaron Keefe
It made me laugh. I have not stopped thinking about her going, huh? I was like, yeah, that makes sense.
Adol Refai
Cause that checks out.
Aaron Keefe
Saying nonsense words.
Adol Refai
What is a Jellicle? Choice, Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
A Jellicle Ball.
Adol Refai
What is a Jellicle choice?
Aaron Keefe
I don't know what a Jellicle choice is.
Adol Refai
Cause at the Jellicle Ball, don't they make a Jellicle choice?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, well, they're choosing who gets to go to heaven, and they're deciding which cat. And there's a cat that's, like a bajillion years old, that's like an acting cat.
Adol Refai
Oh.
Aaron Keefe
That Ian McKellen played in the movie Acting Cat.
JPC
So what does that mean? Like, the cat got sick and they're like, okay, we're gonna designate you acting Cat. He's like a lone survivor.
Aaron Keefe
He. No, he was like. He, like, did plays and stuff, and his introduction, he's, like, literally begging to die. He's like, I'm so old. I've been around for so long. But then they send the cat that used to be beautiful, but now is ugly and old.
Adol Refai
James. Judi Dench.
Aaron Keefe
No, Dame Judi Dench is not. Does not die at the end. It's like the Jennifer Hudson cat who sings Memory gets sent to heaven at the end of the show. It's cats, you guys. It's cats. They all introduce themselves, and then one of the cats goes to heaven based.
Adol Refai
On a book of poems.
JPC
I forget that because, like, LA is like, where the professionals go to do, you know, acting in the movies and the TV shows. That they also have community theater there as well. It seems like the one place in the world where you wouldn't need that. Cause you're like, whatever community you did the theater in, you leave that, and then you come to LA to do the other things. But it's.
Aaron Keefe
But it's so cool because it's like, they're not getting paid, so it's people who have, like, other jobs.
JPC
That is fun.
Adol Refai
That's so cool, Aaron. That's so cool. Here's what I think. I think LA is fun.
JPC
It's fun. They like it. They like it there.
Aaron Keefe
That's not what I meant. That's not what I meant.
JPC
It's fun for them because they don't get any money for it. So it's like play. It's like all play for them. Aaron, you sound like Hitler. Casey. Beep. Hitler. Don't let me be saying Hitler. Aaron. You sound like Hitler.
Adol Refai
Go to the zoo with Aaron, and she's like, the monkeys are so happy. This is, like their natural habitat.
Aaron Keefe
They're thrilled. This is not something that, like, actors who are, like, they're not trying. This is not like actors who are Working in la, they're like, wow. You guys get what I'm saying? They're doing it for the love of the game. They love it.
JPC
Wow.
Adol Refai
Here's what I think.
Aaron Keefe
I'm digging in a deeper, deeper hole. I get it.
Adol Refai
I hear it. I think LA is so saturated with success and celebrity that it's gone back the other way. Cause it's like you can walk into any restaurant and see Jon Hamm and Rosie Perez clinking glasses.
JPC
They love restaurants. Those too.
Adol Refai
They love little doms, big restaurant heads. So when you can see anybody you have ever seen in your life anywhere on the street, it's now fun to go see, like bad productions.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Aaron Keefe
But I will say you were in that production. Go ahead.
JPC
When the hottest guy from your hometown moves to la.
Adol Refai
Clark.
JPC
Everyone can't be an actor there. So that means it's Clark. So that means now they have to have like the hottest guy you've ever seen digging holes and stuff. Because you're like, we got to have a guy digging holes. And you know, you're. It doesn't matter that you're like a hot, good looking guy. You got to dig holes. And I got a bunch. A whole town full of hot guys digging holes.
Adol Refai
Shia LaBeouf.
JPC
Shia LaBeouf truly digging his own hole.
Adol Refai
For a while now.
JPC
For a while now.
Aaron Keefe
If you were in that production, thank you for a great night of theater. I think it has got to be my top three favorite nights in la.
Adol Refai
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
I had the best time.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
And I'll be a patron of this theater.
Adol Refai
Moving forward, I would like to see, you know, let's hearken back to classic comedies like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. I want to see a movie that's Aaron Keefe High out of her mind. And the whole movie is just her trying to make it through the night. And at some point, she gets wrapped up into a community theater production of Cats Summon, gets injured. She has to go on. It's a showstopper standing O.
Aaron Keefe
You think I could win an Oscar for this?
JPC
So Seth Rogen grew up and now we don't get to see screwball weed comedies anymore? No, we should still get him. We just need a new Seth Rogen. He can't do it. He's got gray hair. But we need, we need screwball weed comedies.
Adol Refai
Yeah, it's me.
Aaron Keefe
I'm the new Seth Rogen. I'm obviously the natural successor.
JPC
Uh huh, uh huh.
Adol Refai
Okay, well, Aaron, let's hear your goofy ass laugh. Yeah, that'll do. That'll do well.
JPC
Damn. Anyways, she looked like Dave Franco, but she laughed like Seth Rogen. The whole package. Just like Dave Franco. Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
What's up, guys? Riddles, puzzles, Lateral thinking problems? Or.
Adol Refai
She's reading our description. She's reading the description of the podcast.
Aaron Keefe
Three Chicago comedians who are friends.
JPC
No, we gotta update that. It hasn't been true in a long time. I had embarrassing, uh, what I thought would be, like a fun moment, but turned out to be kind of an embarrassing moment upstairs just moments ago. Well, we have a nanny that comes in a couple times a week, mostly because I only work a little bit a week, and so I need someone to cover me when I'm working. Um, but we. I was coming downstairs to. I was getting a coffee and coming downstairs to get a coffee, and I saw that our nanny was drinking out of a coffee mug that said world's best dad. And I said, oh, interesting. So you're the world's best dad, huh? And she said, well, the only other mug in there said, don't talk to me till I've had my mug full of piss. And I said, okay, well, you know, I did.
Adol Refai
Back to work.
JPC
Yep, I gotta go. I was like, exit stage right.
Aaron Keefe
And I could proudly say, I think I bought you that mug.
JPC
And I did say to her, I did say, just so we're clear, I have never purchased a mug. All of the mugs at this house are mugs that people gave.
Aaron Keefe
That's worse. That means people were thinking about you specifically when they gave you a mug.
Adol Refai
And I can't stress enough.
JPC
I don't know necessarily what that means.
Adol Refai
I can't stress enough. I think our merch store would be wildly successful if we combined those two ideas and made World's Piss Dad. Because World's number one dad. What is number one? Peeing World's Piss Dad.
JPC
I think this world's Pissed Dad. What about a cup that says world's Best dad and there's a little asterisk, and then the cup on the other side says drinking piss.
Aaron Keefe
All right, look in our merch store today. That should be up, everybody, if you want to report us to Tea Public.
JPC
I'm the world's best at drinking piss Dad. I honestly could be the best at that. That seems. That seems like a low bar. There can't be a lot of those, right?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, you'd be surprised. The world is horrible. Horrible.
JPC
Hold on, let me just type in piss drinking daddies and see what I get. Okay, hold on. Got to make some bookmarks for later.
Aaron Keefe
This is exactly at my pervert again. Aaron, that's your brand.
Adol Refai
Wait, what?
Aaron Keefe
What? Wait, what?
JPC
When Adol was in the old timey British Navy, he did get the perverts brand, which is exactly what I think.
Adol Refai
We had a little song too. Well, we're perverts and we're British, which is nothing but the same. They're synonymous.
JPC
An island full of nonces. This is your first run along full of nonsense. Here we go. Two arms. I'm old man puzzles, if it wasn't fucking obvious. And here's one of your puzzles. Two arms, no hands. One head, no mouth. One chest, no heart. One back, no spine. One body, not mine.
Adol Refai
This is what a doctor says on trial.
Aaron Keefe
It's not a book, it's not a clock.
JPC
Not a book, not a clock. This also sounds like it could be like a Bob Marley song, right? Like two arms, no woman, no head.
Aaron Keefe
No woman, no head.
JPC
What is the message of that? Best not to look too far into what? No woman, no head.
Adol Refai
Can you read it one more time?
JPC
Two arms, no hands. Okay, so two arms, no hands. One head, no mouth. One chest, no heart. One back, no spine. One body, not mine.
Aaron Keefe
Wait, what was the heart? 1. You cut out for the heart, one chest.
JPC
No, I didn't do shit. Aaron. You cut out.
Aaron Keefe
Sorry.
Adol Refai
Aaron. Apologize.
Aaron Keefe
I'm sorry. Jpc.
JPC
Aaron. It was probably one chest, no heart.
Aaron Keefe
One chest, no heart.
Adol Refai
Is this the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie?
JPC
Oh, God, I wish.
Aaron Keefe
Is it is the kind of chest like a treasure chest type thing?
JPC
No, it's not. Is it still okay to watch the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie? Because Johnny Depp sucks, but he's like playing such a larger than life character in that. I feel like it's fine, right?
Aaron Keefe
I feel like there's other good parts of the movie. Just because you're.
JPC
Orlando Bloom parts, the Keira Knightley parts.
Adol Refai
Mackenzie Crook, of course, Gareth in the original Office.
JPC
Wow.
Adol Refai
Who has one of the funniest lines in all of sitcom history, which is, do you ever think there will be a boy born who swims faster than a shark?
JPC
I think it's probably okay to watch. You just have to tell. If you're watching with a child, you have to be like, that guy actually is a bad man. Yeah, that guy's a bad man. He took a shit on someone's bed. Or it was the opposite. It doesn't actually matter, but whatever happened, it was fucked up. Me just pointing out actors. He was actually in a fucked up situation.
Adol Refai
James Spader.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You see Ultron, Ultron actually had some.
Adol Refai
Trauma, so Ultron actually tied up his secretary.
JPC
So.
Adol Refai
Jbc, can we get a little hint?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Okay. This is an inanimate object. Two arms, no hands. One head, no mouth. One chest. No heart. One back, no spine. One body. Not mine.
Aaron Keefe
Um. It's like a chair.
JPC
It's not a chair. Aaron, that's a great.
Adol Refai
Is this a CPR dummy? No. They have heads.
JPC
They do have heads.
Aaron Keefe
A car.
JPC
Otherwise it'd be hard to do the cpr. You could just do a chest compression dummy. They don't need a head. But you gotta do that. You gotta do that part where you blow into the mouth. It's not a car. But CPR dummy is not closest. But it's no mannequin.
Aaron Keefe
I was gonna say it's mannequin.
JPC
It's on the right track. But it's not. No, it's not. It's not.
Adol Refai
A lot of mannequins don't have heads. Wouldn't it be funny if the movie Mannequin was made? But it's with one of those mannequins that doesn't have a head. And it's just a body. It's just an hour and a half rom com of a body running around, stumbling into things.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adol Refai
And then they finally kill her.
Aaron Keefe
That's a horror movie.
JPC
It's a horror movie.
Aaron Keefe
That is a horror movie.
JPC
Does anyone remember? First of all, I haven't seen Weekend at Bernie's in decades. I remember.
Aaron Keefe
Do you add it to the review crew?
JPC
No. That's right. Pizza places used to do, like, deals where you, like, order a pizza and they also. It came with a movie. Do you guys remember that? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Adol Refai
Yes.
JPC
So I think it was like. I don't know where it was. Papa John's Pizza. I remember as a kid, there was a pizza deal that came with a copy of weekend at Bernie's 2 or 3. And I think I watched that one. Whatever sequel to Weekend at Bernie's. I think I watched that one. I'd never watched the original Weekend at Bernie's, but I was familiar enough with it. But what I don't remember is Bernie in various states of, like, decomposition. Like, the more of those movies that they make. Is he just like, no, they can't do that.
Aaron Keefe
That would be unwatchable.
Adol Refai
I remember.
JPC
But the whole movie is a screwball comedy with a corpse.
Adol Refai
I remember my first time going to New York ever and seeing a Broadway show. We went and saw Elaine Stritch at Liberty, which is like, Elaine Stritch's One woman show. And she kissed me after the show, which is another story. And a picture right behind me. My friend and I had, like, balcony seats right behind us with Jonathan Silverman. I think his name was the guy from Weekend at Birdies.
JPC
Oh, the. Not the. Not Bernie.
Adol Refai
Not Bertie.
JPC
Got it. One of the. One of the two guys.
Adol Refai
One of the two guys. But we saw him, and we thought it was so funny. We had better seats than him. And so we just kept being like, how's your weekend? And we thought it was so funny to just, like, keep saying weekend and kind of, like, side glance at him. He seemed pretty miserable. Probably because shithead likes shitheads like me.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
So funny.
JPC
Okay, so, yeah, it's not a mannequin and it's not a corpse. Two arms.
Aaron Keefe
No, we're still doing this riddle.
Adol Refai
I do want to.
JPC
One head, no mouth.
Adol Refai
Jbc. You are. You work in a department store. It's after midnight. Aaron, you're a mannequin that JPC has just somehow brought to life through, like, a magical hat he put on you or something.
JPC
Holy shit, it worked. Whoa. Oh. Hey. Hey. My name is Jeff. Don't be alarmed.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, Jeff. Before you say anything, we are conscious all the time. So even when we're not talking, I can sort of see and hear what you do. Okay. So before you say anything else, know that I've seen and heard everything you've done.
JPC
Okay. Okay. So a lot of times what I'm doing is I'm listening to podcasts, and it's not even me saying that. I'm just, like. I'm just kind of absently saying the things that the podcasts are saying.
Aaron Keefe
Right.
JPC
So it's like they're not even my thoughts.
Aaron Keefe
And you stealing from the store is.
JPC
Oh, that's.
Aaron Keefe
That's all you.
JPC
That's how you. Yeah, no, I steal from the store. Yeah, that's fine. Okay, cool. No, yeah, that's fine.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
It's just stealing from the store and.
Aaron Keefe
You dance with the mannequins at night.
JPC
Okay. What am I gonna do? Not dance with the mannequins at night? Like, I'll never be a better dancer if I don't practice, you know? Is that weird?
Aaron Keefe
So your marriage is over?
JPC
Absolutely over. Yeah. I'm sleeping here most nights, and I know I work nights, so the fact that I'm sleeping here is, like, kind of, like the best job ever. Like, they don't check, you know?
Aaron Keefe
Right.
JPC
I just got to, like, put my little pin on the.
Aaron Keefe
I'm sorry. I feel like I'm interrupting you. You brought me to life for a reason. Can't wait to find out what it was. What's going on?
JPC
Hey, so in the movie Weekend at Bominis, does he put me back to sleep?
Aaron Keefe
What's that put me back to sleep scene? You sound like a newsy in that scene.
JPC
Bringing a mannequin.
Adol Refai
Boy, Niece.
JPC
Bringing a mannequin back to life to ask questions about a movie.
Adol Refai
They're like, hey, man, all I've seen is inside the Sears.
JPC
Okay, so it's not mannequin, but like, oh, my God. Mannequin is kind of close and, you know, a doll. No, but it's in the same, like, room that a mannequin would be in. You probably find this great hanger on tops, adult. It's not a great deal on a top, but tops. Tops.
Adol Refai
It's a shirt.
JPC
It is specifically T shirt. The answer here is specifically a type of clothing that is a top. I don't know that it.
Aaron Keefe
A blouse.
JPC
No, I don't know that it matters. I think a T shirt works for this. Yeah, because it doesn't. I don't think it says. Oh, I guess it says one head, no mouth. And that's the only part where I think it would matter. That this is something that has something. It's a hoodie. Yes. Otherwise, I think it could be a T shirt. But I think the fact that there is a hood with, like, the empty head there means. Do you call the top of a T shirt where it opens up the mouth of the shirt? No, no.
Adol Refai
Call it the neck hole.
JPC
The neck. Just the neck.
Aaron Keefe
I need another. I need to cleanse the palate. I need another riddle quickly. That one made me feel not good.
JPC
Here's your second riddle. And weakened at Bernie's 3.
Aaron Keefe
No.
Adol Refai
Oh, boy.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
There's a third one.
JPC
There must be a third one. They wouldn't have stopped at 2, right?
Aaron Keefe
He's just a skeleton for that one. Right.
JPC
Too much grape left on the vine.
Adol Refai
The people he's talking to are like, that's clearly a dead man between the two of you. And they're like, no, no, no Hawaiian shirt.
JPC
It was also like the 80s. And I think that the man who played Bernie, I think he got, like, seriously hurt. I think he was, like, doing a lot of those stunts too. Yeah, I think it was like, jpc.
Aaron Keefe
I'm begging you to give me some good news.
JPC
All right, here's your next Reynold. My home is often loud. Fucking tell me about it. Cause I'm in it. But I am Quiet. My home is always moving, but I move faster. If I am brought from my home into your home, I will not live. If you leave your home and stay too long in my home, you will not live.
Adol Refai
Fish. Shark. Whale.
JPC
It is a fish in a river. Wow. Okay. I do want to see a scene.
Adol Refai
Wait, is that true?
JPC
It's a fish in a river? Yeah. I think it's because my home is often loud, but I'm quiet. My home is often moving, but I move faster. Yeah. Fish swim in the river.
Adol Refai
You bring a freshwater fish into your house, it dies.
JPC
Yeah, I'm assuming if you don't put it in water. If you just, like, bring it into your house. Unless you have a waterhouse.
Adol Refai
Why? I think those are called aquariums.
JPC
Yeah, but you.
Adol Refai
Freshwater aquariums.
JPC
You don't live in an aquarium. Oh, yeah. I want to see a scene. I want to see.
Adol Refai
I've never walked into someone's house and seen a freshwater salmon in an aquarium tank.
JPC
I want to see a scene. Aaron Adol has just purchased a new house, and it is. He's having you over. He's very excited you're bringing a housewarming gift, but you quickly realize that he is living in an aquarium store. Like a pet store.
Adol Refai
Claire. Oh, my gosh. Thank you so much for coming.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, my gosh. I brought pie.
Adol Refai
Ooh, yum, yum, yum. What kind?
Aaron Keefe
Sorry, are we gonna walk down to your place or.
Adol Refai
I'm sorry, what kind?
Aaron Keefe
Yes, I, I guess you did ask the question first. Apple.
Adol Refai
Apple, yum.
Aaron Keefe
Maybe that's. What kind of pie? Are we gonna walk down to your place?
Adol Refai
This is my house. This is my house. Let me give you the grand tour. I guess those words are already French. I didn't need to do that.
Aaron Keefe
Huh?
Adol Refai
Here is. These are walls. Clear walls.
Aaron Keefe
Sorry. No, no, you're right. You're probably. This is probably fine.
Adol Refai
As I was saying, here's my walls.
Aaron Keefe
No, I'm gonna say it. I know. You know, I, I, we're all being patient with you post divorce, but I actually do need to. What is this?
Adol Refai
We're all being patient with you post divorce?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, the friend group. We're all, like, just really trying to be happy for you when you try to get back on your feet. We're all really worried about you. It's, like, seems pretty dire trying to.
Adol Refai
Be happy for me.
JPC
You know.
Aaron Keefe
Emily is really sweet, and we all really get along with Emily. You know what I mean? We all, like, really love Emily, but. No, please. So we were saying.
Adol Refai
We were. I was Saying, these are my glass walls.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Okay.
Adol Refai
So the water behind it.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. I'm gonna go.
Adol Refai
Can I just say something?
Aaron Keefe
Sure.
Adol Refai
I've always loved you, and I want you to live in my aquarium.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. You're wearing snorkel goggles and wet and matted to your forehead.
Adol Refai
I took a box cutter and tried to open up some gills on me, and that went pretty bad.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. I'm gonna pick Emily.
Adol Refai
Hold on.
Aaron Keefe
Hold on. I'm picking Emily.
Adol Refai
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on.
Aaron Keefe
Hold on.
Adol Refai
Watch me swim. Watch me swim. Okay. Let me get up this ladder. Into my walls.
Aaron Keefe
I'm down the block.
JPC
Man found dead swimming in fish tank. Contortionist. Cramming your body into, like, a big fish tank. Did you guys ever fish growing up?
Adol Refai
I went fishing two or three times. Only caught. I've only caught bluegill.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
Which, if you're familiar with Midwest fish, not a prize.
JPC
What about owning a fish tank? Did you have, like, a fish tank in the house?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, yeah. Big time.
Adol Refai
Oh, yeah, Big time. We had some. What are those? Betta. Betta fish. I guess I had one.
JPC
Would you ever now, as an adult, consider having a fish tank?
Adol Refai
Never in a million years.
JPC
That's so crazy. We had a fish tank growing up as well. But, like, I can't think of a thing that I would rather do less than have, like, fish in my house.
Aaron Keefe
The smell is weird. It's high maintenance. You gotta take them out and put them, like, the right temperature in a bag and then clean the tank. Like, it's so much work.
Adol Refai
Cleaning an aquarium is the most laborious process I've ever been a part of.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
And it's like, you don't really get much out of it unless people are, like, super into fish or whatever. And maybe it's one of those things where it's, like, seeing them brightens your day and, you know, God love you and whatever. That's fine. It's just so crazy that, like, I know a lot of people that had fish as kids, and they're like, why did we do that? Why was that something that happened in our house?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Can fish love you back?
JPC
I don't know.
Adol Refai
No, they forget. Every three seconds, they forget who you are. I don't think I've walked into a house and seen a fish bowl, an aquarium, fish tank in 25 years.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Truly, I have not seen a home aquarium or fishbowl in 25 years.
Aaron Keefe
I don't think I have either.
JPC
One of my first apartments that I ever lived on, it was next to two businesses. And the business was an aquarium store in a sub shop. And we went to this submarine sandwich shop, like the first day that we lived in this apartment. And the food was absolutely disgusting. We never saw anyone in either business. And I lived there for a year. And we were like, these both have to be front businesses. Like, they must just be money laundering businesses because who's buying an aquarium in Chicago and who's. With all the food options that you have? No one is ever in this disgusting sub shop. And it's like. And disgusting sub shop is like Subway and they're on every corner. Like you could. Crazy. Absolutely crazy.
Aaron Keefe
Ugh. Yeah.
JPC
Yeah. I would. I don't think I would ever want to. Want to own an aquarium. I just don't. I just don't see what. I just don't see what you get out of it.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
If.
Aaron Keefe
If you do. If you're listening to this and you have an aquarium, tell us what you like about it. I want to know. I'm trying to learn.
JPC
Because the other thing that I think. And this is like a little bit morbid, but I. We had an aquarium growing up and I remember the fish would die all the time.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
And I guess if you're like, trying to get accustomed to, like, pet death, you know, that's some. There's like some benefit to like, understanding that some things have longer lifespans and whatever. But man, it was miserable every time we found a dead fish because they're just like floating at the top of the thing and you're like, oh, no.
Adol Refai
What I hated was.
Aaron Keefe
Go ahead.
Adol Refai
What I hated was growing up, we had a fish tank with a few. We had like, neons. This is separate from the betta fish because I think betta fish kill anything else. But we had like little neons, which are kind of fun little fish.
JPC
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know those.
Adol Refai
Yeah. Have like a little A stripe on them that glows some other fish. And then what always upset me was we had one of those, like, sucker guys.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
That just gloms onto the side of the tank and apparently like cleans algae or something. But I feel like I would always look at the tank as like an 8 year old and be like, oh, this is so cool and beautiful. And the. We have the ocean in our living room. And then I'd make eyes with this little sucker fish. I'd be like, this is the grossest 10 pound leech I've ever seen in my life.
JPC
10 pound, that's big for those sucker fish. And back to your Little bubble castle. You fucking bastard.
Aaron Keefe
Gpc. If your kid, like when they are a little bit older, develops like a true passion for fish and like it's their hyper fixation. Would you get them a fish tank if they had like, if they begged for it?
JPC
Oh, absolutely. I think it's such a good idea if like a kid really wants a pet, get the pet because that will never. First of all, their attention spans are so long that they'll be so interested in that pet for as long as that pet lives and they'll want to help clean up and stuff.
Aaron Keefe
He's being fantastic.
JPC
The only thing that my kid is getting is a one way ticket into beauty college because they will never work a day in their life. Now.
Adol Refai
Jpc, on the other side of the coin, what if your kid develops a little bit older? A deep interest in fish. They love the album Hoist.
Aaron Keefe
Yes.
Adol Refai
Jumping on trampolines while playing guitars is the epitome of musicianship.
JPC
You know what? That I am fine with because I feel like at that point I will be in the right era of my life to like a jam band. Now I'm assuming that all the original members of Fish are dead at this point. It's just John Mayer and like the John Mayer crew.
Adol Refai
By the way, it's John Mayer plus Mars Volta.
JPC
I was hanging out with Janet Varney not too long ago and we were having brunch and she said, I can't remember if it was her or Brandon, her partner, but she said John Legend instead of John Mayer. Like John Legend played with Fish. And I was like, that to me would be a stellar concert.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, that would be interesting.
Adol Refai
Some piano.
JPC
There's like jam band thing and like John Legend just doing his like sexual crooning. Like an 18 minute sexual crooning song.
Adol Refai
It's like Sinatra sitting with the Stones and it's like, I guess that's a little weird.
JPC
So yeah, I think I'd be into that. I think that I would be at the right age to like have jam bands be like a. And also I've never been to a Fish concert. I have friends that are into fish. I'm kind of fascinated by it in a way, but never to the point where I'm like, I would go to this, but I would absolutely get dragged to a fish concert with my kid being like, I want to see fish. I'm like, yeah, let's do it.
Adol Refai
I'll say I went to Bonnaroo in 2003 and I was on a lot of edibles and I went and Saw Trey Anastasio solo, and it was with an. Oh, sorry. It was him. He's the only member of Fish, but then he had a full orchestra.
JPC
Okay.
Adol Refai
And I'll say it's pretty incredible, but if I'm not. If I'm not on drugs, I hate, like, Mo Humphrey McGee. Like, I hate all that jam music.
JPC
Yeah, yeah.
Adol Refai
Unless I'm on inedible, I don't.
JPC
There's, like, an artistry to it. I don't necessarily mind it, but, like, I don't think I'm ever putting on a Fish album to be like, this is something I'll listen to.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, yeah, I get it. And I get the appeal. My brain always is like, there are other things if I have money to spend that I would rather see or do.
JPC
Yeah. Aaron's like, I could go watch bum fights. It's gonna be fun.
Aaron Keefe
I never said that. I do that, but I don't talk about it.
Adol Refai
We should say, aaron's wearing a big Kimbo slice sweater. Aaron, you're obsessed with Kimbo slice.
JPC
Aaron, you love Kimbo Slice.
Aaron Keefe
I do. I do love Kimbo Slice.
Adol Refai
We got her. We got her.
Aaron Keefe
We got her. We got her.
JPC
Casey, clip it. We finally have Aaron Slice.
Adol Refai
Aaron loves Kimbo Slice. Aaron loves Kimbo slice.
JPC
I think that Aaron. Just checking in. You understand completely, correct?
Aaron Keefe
Yep.

Adol Refai
Give it a.
JPC
Give it a. Give it a classic. Classic you. And I'm also here, as always, with Aaron. Aaron, what's up? Too true, Aaron. Yeah, too true. And of course, it wouldn't be the show without our fourth host, little Janet Varney. Janet, say hello. Wish I was in this, Janet. You are. You are in this. We're all here together and we're all here together, all three friends, plus JPC, to talk about BetterHelp.

I've peed on a waiter before.
JPC
Okay, Aaron, that doesn't really apply to. To what's. To what's going on here. I mean, Adel, can you. Can you back me up? I mean, am I going crazy? Gibbity, gibbity, Gibbity, Adelaide. Come on, man. I mean, say anything else. Say anything but that.
Adol Refai
Gibbity, gibbidi, gibbidy.
JPC
Okay, well, guess I'll just do the whole. Better help add myself if you guys aren't gonna. Oh, Aaron, bless you. Oh, okay. Having a little strong reaction to that. Well, you know, I've benefited from therapy. Obviously my friends can tell who are here with me right now that I am, you know, kind of like the poster child for what you can do with your life once you've kind of talked it through with some.
Aaron Keefe
I'm the butt fairy, and I'm here to collect all of the fat you got in your butt, Aaron.
JPC
We can't talk about that on a BetterHelp ad. Anyway, this is mental health awareness month, so let's encourage everyone to take care of their wellbeing and break the stigma.

Give it a. Give it a. I mean, can you. Can you say. Can you say anything else? Okay, the first thing was better. All right. Yeah, we. We really have to get into riddles. We've only done two so far, so we have to get at least two more.
Aaron Keefe
I have a reputation for never doing riddles. But look. Look at JPC as old man puzzles.
JPC
You guys aren't answering them.
Aaron Keefe
Because we don't know the answers.
JPC
They get that last one, like, lightning quick. Okay. Four long ground standers, four short down hangers, two crookers, two lookabouts, one whiskabout and a bellow box.
Adol Refai
This is the cast of nueces, Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, it really does.
Adol Refai
Three lookabouts, two down hangers, a roustabout.
JPC
This is like. I feel like a, I feel like we may have done this one. My cards may have been shuffled incorrectly, But B, this is just like. What if you describe a normal thing with nonsense words? I think that that's what this riddle is.
Adol Refai
Well, that's what Dr. Seuss made a living out of.
JPC
Mm.
Adol Refai
Can you read it one more time?
JPC
Isn't it funny that making a living and making a killing are the same thing? Wow. Hmm.
Aaron Keefe
Can you read it again?
JPC
Words. Four long ground standers. What do we think those are?
Adol Refai
Pillars? Columns.
JPC
Legs, Aaron. Four short down hangers.
Adol Refai
Balls. Penis.
JPC
Yeah, I would think balls and penis for down hangers. Two crookers.
Adol Refai
Arms. No necks.
Aaron Keefe
What's a dude that has four legs? A table giraffe.
JPC
Two look abouts. What do we think? Look abouts are? Eyes, right? Yeah. One whiskabout and a bellow box.
Adol Refai
Throat and whiskers.
Aaron Keefe
A lion.
Adol Refai
It's a lion.
JPC
It's not a lion.
Aaron Keefe
Is it an animal?
JPC
It is an animal. And I think, honestly, it's not a dog. I think four short down hangers is gonna be the thing that actually really helps. It's a cow.
Adol Refai
It's an udders.
JPC
Those are the udders. Two crookers what are the two crookers?
Aaron Keefe
I don't know.
Adol Refai
Ears, Ears. Maybe two crackers.
JPC
I do want to see a scene. Adol, you are. Wow. You know what? Fuck it. Adol, you also are working at a pet store. We're doing two pet store scenes back to back. Oh, my God. You're working in a pet store. Aaron, you're coming into the pet store because you're interested in purchasing a new pet. And Adol, you are using a lot of, like, fanciful terms for the things that are just like ostensibly normal pets.
Adol Refai
Hey, Claire, Good to see you again.
Aaron Keefe
Hi. Sorry, back in here again. Last one died.
Adol Refai
Couple years.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, yeah, yeah, last one died looking for a new pet to fill the hole in my heart, dear.
Adol Refai
Sorry to hear. Well, we have some new options. We have some sort of exotic. Some exotic creatures who found their way into the store. Hush, hush.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. Can't wait to see. Can't wait to see.
Adol Refai
Okay, so over here we have a scroungy rug. This is sort of a scroungy rug.
Aaron Keefe
Looks like a cat.
Adol Refai
That's what I said, scroungy rug.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, is that its name?
Adol Refai
No, that's. That's how we're selling it. If you look at the sign there, it says scroungy rugs. $99.
Aaron Keefe
Huh? Okay. I mean, you are an exotic pet store owner.
Adol Refai
Mm.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I bought a panther last time I came in here and now the panther's dead.
Adol Refai
Panther. I'm not sure what that is.
Aaron Keefe
Do you just not have any exotic animals in today? Because this is just like a typical house cat.
Adol Refai
Oh, a jump. You bought a jump sack.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. Is that like the scientific term? Am I missing something? Show me something else.
Adol Refai
It's a big jump sack. Okay, sure. Over here we have a bite rope. We have some bite ropes.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, that is a snake.
Adol Refai
No, they're bite ropes.
Aaron Keefe
It was just a really typical, like the kind of snake a 12 year old would get. This is not an exotic snake. This is not a poisonous snake.
Adol Refai
12 year olds might get nerds ropes, but these are bite ropes.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, man, it's okay if you don't have any exotic animals and today. I can come back later in the week or next week or something.
Adol Refai
Wait, I got something for you. How about Tank Pinch?
Aaron Keefe
Okay. This is your son?
Adol Refai
Well, that's his name. His name is Tank Pinch.
Aaron Keefe
I think there's enough air in there. He's sort of banging on the glass. Are you okay?
Adol Refai
No. He does that when there's new people. Helps the only word he knows.
JPC
So my dad had an accident.
Aaron Keefe
He lost all his.
JPC
He lost all his words. He crossed a witch.
Aaron Keefe
He crossed a witch. Okay, okay. I thought he just ran out of exotic animals and was trying to pull a fast one on me.
JPC
The witch is his supplier.
Adol Refai
Okay. I stepped on the foot of a mage. I wouldn't say I cried.
Aaron Keefe
Crossed a witch scene.
JPC
It was the witch's husband.
Adol Refai
Can you imagine? A witch and a mage married. Do witches have husbands?
JPC
Do witches have husbands?
Adol Refai
Oh, children's book.
JPC
I wish there were still Yahoo answers, because do witches have husbands? Would be the only place that you could go to get an answer to that. Oh, thank God.
Adol Refai
I do want to see a seed. Just very quickly. Jbc, you're a witch. You're speed dating. Aaron, you're going to be the people opposite the witch on the speed dunk.
JPC
By the way, one of my top 10 favorite things is when we call for a scene that requires multiple people, and we're just like Erin. You get to be all.
Aaron Keefe
I love it.
JPC
So funny. Okay.
Aaron Keefe
How are you doing?
JPC
I'm great. My name is Agatha. Yes, I've heard it before. Obviously, the show, kind of. Anyway, what do you do for work?
Aaron Keefe
I feel like I'm having the same conversation over and over again. It's crazy.
JPC
Well, it wasn't me. I didn't. I didn't put a perpetual Groundhog Day spell on you. I'm a witch, so.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. What?
JPC
I. Oh, I. No, I'm sorry. I was making, like, a joke, but I. I didn't put a.
Aaron Keefe
Did you, though?
JPC
Ding.
Aaron Keefe
I'm gonna try killing myself to see if that gets me out of the loop.
JPC
Don't. Hey, don't. Hey, don't.
Aaron Keefe
I'm gonna try to see if that gets me out of the loop. Hi.
JPC
The energy that guy's going to the next date with is awful. Hi, I'm Agatha. I am a witch. Yeah, just like the show. Yeah. I'm actually new in town, and I'm just. I'm really enjoying meeting people.
Aaron Keefe
I feel like I have deja vu right now. I feel like I'm having the same thing over and over again.
JPC
It's speed dating. Standing up at the table. It's fucking speed dating.
Aaron Keefe
She's a witch. Hi. How are you?
JPC
Hey. I'm good. Does it matter what my name is? What's like a fun Agatha?
Aaron Keefe
I can see your name tag like the show. Like a witch. I feel like I've lived this moment before. Don't you feel that way?
JPC
Oh, okay.
Aaron Keefe
Did you put a curse on me?
JPC
I did curse. Greg. He's a pervert, okay? He's going to try to take pictures of your feet.
Adol Refai
Everyone falls down the road.
Aaron Keefe
You can't make me a foot pervert without me calling seed before you can do that to me, idiot.
Adol Refai
You can't make me a foot pervert because I already am one.
JPC
You can't make me something. I was bored as. Okay, here we go. Did we do the. Yeah, we did do the last one. We did do the last one. It was cow. We all got it. We're really proud of ourselves. A whole lot of.
Adol Refai
I was just gonna say, you know, somewhat recently we were talking about, like perfect bits in movies. I just wanted to say in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the. She's a witch. She turned me into a newt. And then the guy goes, a newt? And he goes, I got better. I mean, that's one of the all time greats.
JPC
Yeah, Fun joke.
Aaron Keefe
I also love in Princess Bride when she goes, I'm not a witch. I'm your wife. I'm not a witch, I'm your wife.
JPC
Compladink company A whole lot of holes, a whole lot of knots. Toss me in, pull me out, see what you got.
Aaron Keefe
A net.
Adol Refai
Garlic bread.
Aaron Keefe
A net, A net, a net, a net.
JPC
You got it. You got it.
Aaron Keefe
It was. You guys are fish. You are clearly caught in a net and you're sort of like trying to make a plan.
JPC
Don't panic. Don't panic. I heard the panicking. Just makes it worse.
Adol Refai
Okay, okay, okay, okay. What do we do? What do we do? What do we do? What do we do?
JPC
So a lot of times, fishermen, bastards, they throw the net down. They throw the net down, but they don't pull it up immediately. So we're not, like, fucked yet. We probably still. We still have some time. So let's just think of it like we have time to work out a plan. Panic is the mind killer. Let's focus in on this. Okay?
Adol Refai
Okay. Okay. Let's all go around and let's say what type of fish we are and maybe what skills we have.
JPC
Yes. If anyone has a specialty. Okay, okay. For instance, I'm Sean. I am a puffer fish, so I can puff my whole body out. That could help maybe shift some locations.
Adol Refai
Hi, Sean.
JPC
Hello.
Adol Refai
Okay. My name is Tommy. I am a fatty tuna. I'm delicious.
JPC
Okay. Okay. Let's try to. Let's try to stay focused on what the thing is. But there are no bad ideas in brainstorming.
Adol Refai
No bad ideas. No bad ideas. Any other fish?
Aaron Keefe
My name is Kelly. I Am a rat, and I am very scared. I'm very rat.
Adol Refai
I'm a rat fish.
Aaron Keefe
No, no, I'm a rat.
JPC
That's a rat. So if you are not a fish, let's not have you go when the fish are going.
Aaron Keefe
I know, but I feel like I'm sort of part of this.
JPC
I got trapped in here, and my name is Pierre. I am a salt fish. Oh, wait. I am free. What am I?
Adol Refai
Oh, he cut. He got right through it.
JPC
Ah, damn. Okay, well, he could have helped the rest of us, but. Fucking swordfish.
Adol Refai
My name is Todd. I'm a narwhal, and I'm gonna spear Pierre. Oh, narwhal just killed Pierre.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, okay. We're just murdering each other again. I'm Kelly. I'm a rat.
Adol Refai
A rat fish.
Aaron Keefe
No, just a rat.
JPC
Oh, like you aren't good with secrets.
Aaron Keefe
That is true, but that's not relevant to what I'm trying to communicate.
Adol Refai
Tell us 1. Tell us 1. Tell us one.
Aaron Keefe
Did you know.
JPC
I am Bruce. I am a sharding. I'm sharding. Sorry, everybody.
Aaron Keefe
Bruce is a shark.
JPC
Come on. Hey, that guy's a rat.
Adol Refai
I'm a sharding. The Italian. The only way to end an Italian meal.
JPC
Hey, I'm a shardard.
Adol Refai
Affogato. I'm a sharding.
JPC
That's a compliment.
Aaron Keefe
I haven't locked into any of the scenes very well today. I feel like I'm sort of, like, skipping over the scenes, and I'm not in the scenes. Does that make sense?
Adol Refai
Aaron, you're doing.
Aaron Keefe
You guys teach improv. Give me something like, give me a scene. Set up a new scene for me, and then also give me an intention of how to really be in it.
Adol Refai
Okay. I want to see a scene. Aaron, you're an improv teacher, and you're talking to JPC as if he's you.
JPC
Great.
Adol Refai
Is this what you wanted?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
JPC
Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. I feel like I'm, Like I'm in my head and I'm not. I'm not, like, present in them. Is that what you're gonna say? I don't. I'm sorry. I'm not giving you the notion you.
Aaron Keefe
Can'T be wearing leggings to every show and your mascara is, like, running down your face. Like, I just feel like it looks like you're sort of forced to be. It looks. You show up to shows looking like someone woke you. You up from a deep, deep nap.
JPC
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
Which is fine.
JPC
Yeah, it Just feels like. Because, like, none of the guys on the team are getting, like, notes like this, but, like, all my notes are really funny. Well, yeah. I mean, they're really funny. I know. I think. I feel like we're all kind of really funny, but I feel like all my notes are, like, kind of about how, like, I cry too much in scenes and, like.
Aaron Keefe
Right.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
Hey. Hey. Sorry. Sorry, teacher. Sorry, teacher. Hey, babe, I'm going to wait downstairs for you. Here's a water. Just let me know when you're done. I'm Kimbo Slice, by the way. Hi. I'm dating Aaron.
JPC
So it's. Yeah. So he's not. We're not. It's not. He's not, but we're not.
Aaron Keefe
You're kicked off the team for what? You know.
JPC
See, it's still fun that Kimbo Slice comes to your shows, Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
I guess so. Yeah. I'd say it's more of a distraction. People really sort of only care about that.
JPC
Sure. Hey, there's a ghost here.
Aaron Keefe
It's always really complicated when two people are dating who do the same thing. Because what if someone gets more successful than the other? But we're making it work, Aaron.
JPC
Trying to get a hint as to who Kimbo Slice is, and we're not going to help you, Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
Yes, you will, Aaron.
Adol Refai
Would you do a movie called Ghost Slice? That's you dating Kimbo Slice's ghost.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. And the plot would go a little something like.
JPC
Aaron, we're not going to help you.
Aaron Keefe
Why can't you help me?
JPC
Kimble Slices. We can. It's not that we can't.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, well, then you guys will be the jerks that the joke is the woman on the show doesn't know something.
JPC
It's not that we can't.
Aaron Keefe
Throwing around my weight for no reason. I know that name. And that sounds familiar. He's a musician.
JPC
Yes, Aaron.
Adol Refai
Got it in one. Aaron. Do you know any of his. Can you name a single Kimbo Slice song?
JPC
No. What adoles do we.
Aaron Keefe
Can you name a single shirt? What are you guys I went on dates with in 2016? Fucking what?
Adol Refai
Oh, you're wearing a Metallica shirt. Name 10 albums.
JPC
Dakota Zappa. That's actually hard for Erin because she can't name a single song anyway. Cause every song that she likes is like. She, like, doesn't know.
Adol Refai
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. We're all sort of roasting Aaron today. Okay. Okay. That means she's doing well and you're trying to bring her down.
Adol Refai
Yeah, 100%.
JPC
Hey, Aaron. Kind of like not unlike what they kind of did to Kimbo Slice. Wow. You know what I'm saying?
Adol Refai
One to one.
JPC
One to one.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. Kimbo Slice is actually not a musician.
JPC
That's why I said what Adol's doing is meaner. Because I would never say, yeah, he's a musician. What's one of his songs?
Aaron Keefe
Okay, I, I. Okay. He's not a musician.
JPC
How do you know that?
Aaron Keefe
I don't.
JPC
How do you know what? How do you know that?
Adol Refai
No, I saw my baron use Google. You got a rap about Kimbo Slice?
Aaron Keefe
Kimbo Slice seems really nice. He's a bare knuckle boxer.
JPC
Wrong.
Aaron Keefe
No, he's done mixed martial artist, professional boxer and actor. He was born in 1974. Oh. He died when he was only 42 years old. He weighed 234 pounds.
Adol Refai
Wait a minute. This isn't rapping.
Aaron Keefe
He's got three kids. What? Sorry.
JPC
Don't talk about how somebody.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, I do remember.
JPC
They have three kids.
Adol Refai
That's so funny. I love that. Rapping is. He was born in 1984 in St. Paul, Minnesota. He weighs 250. He has four kids.
JPC
What would you do if you bought the new Kendrick Lamar album and it was just him reading Wikipedia? Every song was just like a Wikipedia entry.
Aaron Keefe
Well, then he would win another Grammy.
Adol Refai
Yeah, if it's kda, I'm buying it.
JPC
It's just the song is called Spain and it's about the country of Spain, just like their exports of their imports. And then in the middle he's like, Drake's a pedophile.
Aaron Keefe
That's so funny.
Adol Refai
The rain in Spain falls mostly on Drake.
JPC
All right. I bring you music if music you can read. I bring you a number if toes and fingers you can count. I bring you the result of the match. Whoa.
Adol Refai
I bring you music if you can read.
JPC
Aaron, it's a score. Aaron, you got it. You scored.
Aaron Keefe
Aaron, you scored.
Adol Refai
Jesus. A genius.
Aaron Keefe
So I know it seems like the lady one is the dumb one on the show, but that's not always true. Sometimes it's true. Not all.
JPC
We actually take turns being the dumb one.
Aaron Keefe
Moment to moment, moment to moment.
JPC
And sometimes here's a little peek behind the curtain. Sometimes we all get to be the dumb one.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, we all carry the ring.
Adol Refai
Sometimes I'm dumb. Samwise, it would have been hurt.
Aaron Keefe
That's why Samwise came to you. I know.
JPC
I'm coming with you.
Aaron Keefe
What?
JPC
Your Samwise is good. You have a good Samwise.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, thanks. It would have better the vocal tick in my house right now is Cassian Ander from Andor.
JPC
Oh, yeah. Do you think that you could get maybe the gas leak, like, checked? Like, is there a professional that could put it in?
Aaron Keefe
I kind of like it.
JPC
Address the vocal dick.
Aaron Keefe
All of my new imaginary friends are from the gas leak, so why would I. Why would I stop it?
JPC
This is Jeff. He's from the gas leak.
Aaron Keefe
This is Jeff. Oh, how do you know Aaron? Oh, I'm a gas leak hallucination of hers. How do you know Aaron?
Adol Refai
I'm a flying elephant.
JPC
I know Aaron from a dream she had.
Adol Refai
Aaron, can you say the line that you said is popular in your house right now?
Aaron Keefe
Cassian Ander.
Adol Refai
So you sound like Cassian Ander. I haven't watched Andor season two yet. I'm very excited. You sound exactly like the guy who I want to say is Australian. And he's in a lot of movies and stuff he plays. He's in Captain Marvel as, like, the head gremlin Scree guy or whatever.
JPC
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, God. What is that man's name?
Aaron Keefe
I don't know.
Adol Refai
You know what I'm talking about?
JPC
Yeah. Ben Mendels.
Adol Refai
Ben Mendelsohn. Thank you, Casey. Aaron, that was a dead on Ben Mendelsohn impression.
Aaron Keefe
That's not what I meant to do.
Adol Refai
Okay.
JPC
You were doing Mr. Skarsgard, right?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I was.
JPC
Yeah. Papa Skarsgard.
Adol Refai
Stellan.
JPC
Stellan, yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Stellan, was it?
JPC
Bendleton is also in that show, right?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, he just showed me.
JPC
Because he's in Rogue One.
Aaron Keefe
Yes.
Adol Refai
Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Aaron Keefe
And Auntie Donna did impressions of him that were really funny. There's a clip of them that I watched yesterday. That's so funny that you bring up Ben Mendelsohn. I guess it's. You brought it up because we're talking about Andor. But they do a really great impression of him. I.
JPC
Well, yeah. Well, you did. You remember he was in Rogue One. I just rewatched Rogue One not too long ago. So I was like, he has to be bridging the gap there, you know, somewhere, because he's like the big bad from. From Rogue One. That's wild.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, before I forget, I'm so sorry. I. There. I don't have that many career goals left other than maybe meeting him up it. But I do.
JPC
He's been crushing it.
Adol Refai
Well, Aaron, you said you wanted to be on the COVID of Highlights magazine. I don't think they do, like, cover shoots.
JPC
Hello.
Adol Refai
I'm sorry. I'm just trying to.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, my God. What? I want to Wear lingerie on the COVID of Highlights magazine.
JPC
My only dream with how often you change your hair. You could fucking be Highlights magazine.
Aaron Keefe
Wow. You guys had to learn how to do my own hair. I spent hours and hours researching how to dye your own hair blonde. And I did it last week.
JPC
Oh, because so many places have refused you service.
Aaron Keefe
Yes. Because I go too often. No. Because I can't. You can't. In this economy. Can't afford to be blonde anymore. So.
JPC
Wow. Look at what they took from us. The blonde.
Aaron Keefe
That's not what I mean.
JPC
Is so high.
Aaron Keefe
But you guys. I love Auntie Donna and they have a show on YouTube where it's basically party quirks but impossible. And they give each other the most impossible prompts to do. And I. I don't know who listens who might know them. I will fly to Australia on my own dime. I want to go and be on that show so bad.
JPC
We could probably get them on our show. They do podcasts.
Aaron Keefe
I would love that. And then I can go. I'm literally. That is. Would be a dream of mine to go on that.
JPC
Aaron, would you mind if I circle back to something?
Aaron Keefe
Of course.
JPC
Erin's so blonde that she heard inflation rates were high and she let all the air out of her tires.
Adol Refai
Aaron. Is that true?
JPC
Aaron, is that true? This is something I heard. So I just want to verify. Is it true?
Aaron Keefe
Yes.
JPC
Yes. Good.
Adol Refai
Okay. Aaron. I just sent a text.
Aaron Keefe
Sure.
Adol Refai
Again. Auntie Donna's been on Magic Tabard. I have booked for us next week. Uncle Dana.
Aaron Keefe
Now that's not what I wanted. I want Aunt. Uncle Dunna.
Adol Refai
Well, Aaron would you know.
JPC
Aaron Figures. Can't be choosers.
Adol Refai
Uncle Donna.
JPC
Uncle Donna.
Adol Refai
Three hamsters in tuxedos.
JPC
Aaron. The best part though.
Aaron Keefe
Aren't we three hamsters in tuxedos? Isn't that a little redundant?
JPC
Auntie Dunn. Say it again. Et al.
Adol Refai
Uncle Dunna.
JPC
Uncle dunna. Sounds also just like Fat Bastard. Now isn't that fun?
Adol Refai
Uncle Dunna. Get in my mouth.
Aaron Keefe
I'm asking you guys a question. I need you to be honest with me. Have we done a single riddle this episode? No. Okay. Great.
JPC
Do you want to do a single one?
Aaron Keefe
I'm putting it out into the. Yes. I'm putting it out to the universe that I want to go on that show. And I know I'm not qualified in any sort of way and I live in a different continent, but please.
JPC
Aaron's so blonde. She heard that there was a single riddle and she asked what its sign was.
Adol Refai
Whoa. Aaron. Is this true?
Aaron Keefe
That's funny.
Adol Refai
Date. A riddle.
JPC
But Aaron. So this is something I heard and I'm not really. I'm truly not doing this to be mean. This is something I heard. I just want to verify if it's true.
Aaron Keefe
It is true. The riddle is an Aries. We're compatible.
JPC
All right, here we go. Silver are my teeth and sharp. Straight my jaw and long. Use me carefully, my friend. My double bite is strong.
Adol Refai
Bear trap.
Aaron Keefe
Tongs. Bear trap.
JPC
It's not tongs. It's not a bear trap. That's a really great bear trap. Is the closest. Tongs and bear trap are both pretty close. They're around the same thing. Mousetrap is close as well.
Aaron Keefe
But is it a trap of some kind?
JPC
It's not a trap. It's a trap. Admiral Ackbar.
Adol Refai
Admiral Snack Bar.
JPC
Admiral Snack Bar.
Adol Refai
Cause he's cute.
JPC
Cause he's cute. Because he's a snack.
Adol Refai
It's a snack. Thanks. Admiral Snack Bar.
JPC
Why did they not have that as a tie in for the episode three re release?
Adol Refai
Well, we'll have to see if Admiral Snack Bar makes an appearance in the upcoming Disney Twins Patreon.
JPC
Furiously rating down Admiral Snack Bar. And like setting a whole 50 minute episode up. It's not that. Silver are my teeth and sharp. Straight my jaw and long. Use me carefully, my friend. My double bite is strong.
Adol Refai
Can opener.
JPC
No, double bite. Double bite. Also crucial here. And like a can opener. This is probably something that you would find in your house.
Adol Refai
Stapler.
JPC
Stapler.
Adol Refai
It's a stapler.
JPC
It's a stapler. It's a stapler.
Adol Refai
Can I just say, when I was in grade school, everyone being like, I'm stapler. I'm gonna fuck your mom. Ah, I hated that.
JPC
I hated it.
Adol Refai
I hated American Pie and stapler.
Aaron Keefe
I know my brain is poisoned from all the blonde dye, but I did understand that reference well.
Adol Refai
Aaron, it's also poisoned from the gas leak.
Aaron Keefe
Right? And me electrocuting myself by accident when I was in the third or fourth.
JPC
Grade, when you brought a pie to the scene with the aquarium, I wanted to come in and say, maybe we tell your mother we ate the pie and I didn't because I'm a good partner.
Adol Refai
Maybe we just tell your mother.
Aaron Keefe
Is that true?
JPC
No, can't be true. Hey, here's something that's true. Casey, can you play us a voicemail theme?
Adol Refai
I don't want to be answering lateral.
JPC
Blinking puzzies and Brady. I'll just answer a listen request mine. I'm tired of looking around. 5, 7, 4, 3, 5, 3, 1.
Adol Refai
Yep.
JPC
There's a one at the end. Two.
Aaron Keefe
I mean, just sorry as well.
JPC
This is number one. Fuck. Yes.
Aaron Keefe
I love it.
Adol Refai
Yes, I love it. And that was actually Gavin DeGraw.
JPC
That was Gavin DeGraw. That was Tom Lum, host of the let's Learn Everything podcast on Maximum Fun. Thank you so much, Tom.
Aaron Keefe
Thank you, Tom. That was awesome.
Adol Refai
That fucking rule.
JPC
Tom also sent the lyrics, and the lyric for that line is, I'm tired of looking around. Who's a was a loses the lyrics. Because no one remembers this line.
Adol Refai
That was very errancoated.
JPC
Yeah. Very errand coded to lose it in that cover of Gavin De Graw's I Don't Want to Be.
Aaron Keefe
There's a gas leak in my house. What's your excuse?
JPC
Is this your psa, Eric?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, that sounds like there's a gas leak in my house. Do you know where your children are? Do I have children?
Adol Refai
A drag queen would say at the end of, like, a Runway walk of something, like, I have a gas leak in my house. What's your excuse? And then turn and walk back.
Aaron Keefe
That's my Real Housewives intro. I have a gas thing in my house. What's your excuse?
JPC
If you want to get a voicemail theme feature on the show, make it 30 seconds or less. Send it as a wav file to hrrpodcastmail.com. casey, play us a voicemail. Hey, Clue Crew. I was wondering if you have a song that you always hear the lyrics.
Aaron Keefe
To incorrectly in your head.
JPC
My example for this is the Les Mis song at the end of the Day, for some reason, in my head.
Aaron Keefe
The lyrics are always, when the hair.
Adol Refai
On your back doesn't keep up the chill.
JPC
Even though I know it's when the.
Adol Refai
Shirt on your back doesn't keep up the chill.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Just curious.
JPC
Hope you're all doing well. Okay, have a good one. Bye.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, my God. I've been saying, when the hair on your back doesn't keep out the chill. No, I am not kidding.
JPC
Really? Yeah. You have the same one.
Adol Refai
Was that you, Aaron?
Aaron Keefe
Okay, yeah. Well, first of all, we already established that that is my entire life is. I can get the vibe of a song, but I do not know the lyrics.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot. And this is also really fun because it was that voicemail theme with this voicemail, which was totally accidental, but it was one where you lose the lyrics, which is cool. But I have that too. I don't know the lyrics very well at all.
Adol Refai
I would say my biggest one is from the album Tak T A K K by Siguros. I always think that he's saying, let's go. And he's really going, just a classic cigar joke.
Aaron Keefe
Since I watched Cats, I've been on an Andrew Lloyd Weber kick. And so I was listening to Evita yesterday, and I realized for the first time in a new Argentina, the lyrics are, this is crazy defeatist talk. And I thought it was mumbo jumbo. I was like, oh, this is crazy defeatist talk makes more sense than this is crazy to be this talk. Like, I had no idea.
JPC
This is insane. The first place my mind went to, there's a live song called I Alone. Do you guys know this live song?
Adol Refai
I alone love you.
JPC
Yeah, I alone love you. In my mind, he's always just going, I love. I'm like, I completely lose every lyric in that part. But here's the other thing is I also have the Aaron disease, where I don't remember the lyrics to songs. Yeah, sorry, Slow gas leak in my brain. But I don't know, maybe it is the fact that I've been doing improv for so long, but it's like, I don't even attempt to get the lyrics anymore. I just make my own up. Like, I do a lot of singing with my child, and I'm like, you're fucked. Because I don't know the words to the songs from Moana, even though we've listened to them a hundred times. But I do know my words.
Aaron Keefe
I've been to See if Diamonds.
JPC
But Aaron, I'm not doing the thing where I'm like, as a badge, as I. But I'm not doing, like, simlish for it. I'm just, like, making up words.
Aaron Keefe
I'm like, give me an example.
JPC
Sing something from I'm alone with my Thoughts and it turns. It disturbs me But I can't post till I'm a ghost. And I'll just do. It'll be like, nonsense. And Mariah will be like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm not gonna learn the fucking lyrics. Moana knows the lyrics. I shouldn't have to know it.
Aaron Keefe
That's awesome.
Adol Refai
I'll do that with black crows. With that, I'll start to sing it, and then I'll realize I don't know the words. So I'm like, hey, little thing lemon latcha can Cause the mama nama nama and the mama da mess around yeah, I always come around, mess it down immediately deflate. Because I'm like, oh, no, I'm in the Thick of it. I'm on the slide and I forgot where the bottom is.
Aaron Keefe
I'm on the slide and I forgot where the bottom is. That's so funny.
Adol Refai
Little thing Lemon Latcha can.
Aaron Keefe
Mess around.
JPC
Signs up karaoke and is like, oh, no, wait, there's a rap verse in this song. I forgot there was a rap verse. Just try your best. Yeah. Thank you so much for that question. Do we have anything, Aaron to plug?
Aaron Keefe
Anything you gotta plug, just go and come see us on tour. We would love to see you come.
JPC
See us on tour. And I know what you're thinking. There's a bunch of shows in a bunch of different cities. Is it going to be the same show in each city?
Aaron Keefe
Yes, we're gonna try.
JPC
We change keywords so it's worth it to follow us and see all of the shows that you can just to get the keyword change.
Aaron Keefe
Brilliant.
Adol Refai
Hell yeah.
JPC
So brilliant. Adult plug.
Adol Refai
Check out Hulu from the Magic Tavern. Now in our 10th season. JPC. Anything to plug or promote or a review to read.
JPC
I want to read a review. This one's coming in from Blue Wings 23. Bluewings 23 says life isn't real. On my way to work on Wednesday morning, I was trying to think of what cards my friends had in high school. Dodge Durang or Dodge Dugaru Dungaree. No. Whatever. I'll look it up later. I get to work, turn on the podcast, and 10 to 15 minutes in ADOL mumbles Dodge Durango. What? How life isn't real. But this podcast is good.
Adol Refai
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. We are a glitch in the matrix.
JPC
This is the dream inside the brain of a dying child. St. Elsewhere.
Aaron Keefe
This is a death rattle.
Adol Refai
This is the last gasp of a velociraptor who's being eaten by a pack of wolves.
JPC
Now someone is. Someone's listening to this podcast. Like 10 minutes ago, I was thinking about a death rattle. St. Elsewhere and a velociraptor. And now they said it.
Aaron Keefe
We live outside the laws of space and time.
Adol Refai
There should be more dinosaurs and soap.
JPC
Operas to do your admission. You know what your mission is?
Aaron Keefe

Adol Refai
Yeah, she said of instead of four.
JPC
Yeah.
Adol Refai
So you guys are coming in and out of me.
JPC
Aaron, you said you guys are coming in and out of me.
Adol Refai
Oh, no. I let it go.
Aaron Keefe
I let it go. I mumbled because I did not say it.
Adol Refai
Aaron, I'm sorry.
