---

1. Beachside Banter and Riddle Stings (00:00 – 04:00)

The episode kicks off with the hosts—Adol Rifai, Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan (JPC)—engaged in a playful and chaotic conversation at the beach. The trio humorously debates the metaphorical idea of being "stung by a riddle," with Aaron Keefe exclaiming at [00:36] "Oh, guys, I got stung by a riddle." This leads to a series of witty exchanges about absurd scenarios involving riddle stings and the nonsensical idea of peeing on someone to alleviate pain. Erin (Adol) clarifies their quirky bond by mentioning, at [01:35], "JPC and I did just get matching knuckle tattoos. On my right hand it says kiss. On the left hand it says piss." The segment sets a lighthearted and improvisational tone for the episode.

2. Skill Acquisition and DIY Adventures (05:00 – 10:00)

Transitioning from beach antics, the conversation shifts to personal development and DIY projects. Aaron shares his ventures into beauty maintenance, detailing his efforts to perform gel manicures and dye his own hair blonde. At [05:38], he mentions, "I am learning how to do all beauty maintenance stuff at home." The hosts humorously critique his new skills, with JPC quipping at [06:00], "Are you cutting your own hair? I gotta say, it's fine. It saves you 30 bucks." This segment highlights their camaraderie and ability to humorously support each other's endeavors.

3. Local Business Reflections and Community Ties (10:00 – 15:00)

The hosts delve into a discussion about local businesses, lamenting the closure of a cherished neighborhood restaurant. Adol reminisces about, at [11:28], "we had one and we tried to go there the other week... it's permanently closed." They reflect on the challenges facing traditional storefronts in the modern era, touching upon the enigmatic survival of niche stores like a sewing machine repair shop. This conversation underscores their connection to the Chicago community and the changes impacting local businesses.

4. Hot Takes and Riddles Segment (15:00 – 24:00)

Introducing a new interactive segment, JPC presents a "Hot Takes" episode inspired by listener submissions. Initially mislabeled as riddles, the hosts correct the format to genuine controversial opinions. At [12:35], Adol defines a hot take: "Hot takes would be like, Pringles is the best chip. Tim Duncan is the best player of all time." They attempt to craft hot takes, leading to humorous failures and creative attempts, such as Adol’s pun-laden scene simulation of the Scopes Monkey Trial, blending historical events with absurd twists.

5. Muppet-Inspired Humor and Creative Scenes (17:00 – 24:00)

The conversation takes a whimsical turn as Adol expresses admiration for the Muppets' signature mouth scrunching at [17:29], sparking a playful exchange about mimicking Kermit the Frog. This segues into improvised scene simulations, including a parody of the Scopes Monkey Trial involving a monkey declaring, "God is dead," and ensuing absurd interactions. These segments showcase the hosts' improvisational skills and their ability to infuse humor into educational topics.

6. Advertisement Break (31:00 – 34:00)

Mid-episode, the hosts humorously navigate sponsored content for Squarespace. JPC laments his website woes, leading Adol and Aaron to deliver tongue-in-cheek endorsements for Squarespace, blending genuine promotion with their characteristic humor. Notably, at [31:21], Adol states, "Squarespace gives you everything you need to offer services and get paid all in one place."

7. Pop Culture Linking Game: "Pop Chain Riddles" (35:00 – 60:00)

Post-ad break, the hosts engage in a high-energy pop culture linking game inspired by Anthony Burch's "Pop Chain Riddles." Aaron explains the rules at [44:47], "You have to link Pop Culture Works... using a shared word or syllable." The game involves connecting movies, TV shows, and other media through overlapping words or themes. Examples include:

• Children of Men → Men in Black Widow

  • Adol explains the connection: "Children of Men. Men in Black Widow."

• The Fly → The Ring (Lord of the Flies → Lord of the Rings)

  • This challenging linkage showcases their deep knowledge of pop culture and quick thinking.

The game continues with creative and sometimes convoluted connections like "Girl Interrupted → The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo → Dragon Ball Z" and "Goodfellas → Coyote Ugly → The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." These exchanges highlight their expertise in media trivia and their ability to entertain through intellectual play.

8. Listener Voicemails and Olive Opinions (60:00 – 66:00)

Engaging with their audience, the hosts read and respond to voicemails. A notable submission at [60:43] discusses the divisiveness of olives on pizza. Aaron shares his evolving stance: "I did not like olives on pizza. But I hated olives growing up. And then I'd say in the last two years I've grown to love olives." The conversation becomes a lively debate on olive preferences, with Adol lauding specific types like Castle Castellaventrano olives and JPC expressing a love for both black and green olives.

9. Final Plugs and Closing Remarks (66:00 – End)

As the episode winds down, the hosts promote their Patreon page and upcoming projects. Adol mentions her new comic book, "Super Claws," and encourages listeners to support their endeavors through Patreon at [64:58]. They also recap important links and thank their audience for tuning in, maintaining their signature humor and enthusiasm.

Transcript

[Aaron Keefe]

This is a headgun podcast.

[JPC]

The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Both of them were goldfish. It was the cabin of an airplane. He stabbed him with an ice array and the horses named Riding.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, guys, I got stung by a riddle.

[JPC]

Ow, ow, ow.

[Aaron Keefe]

I went into the ocean and I got stung by a riddle.

[Adol]

Okay, okay, okay, okay. So I pee on jpc.

[Aaron Keefe]

Wait, what? No, that makes no sense.

[Adol]

Do I have to solve out the riddle?

[Aaron Keefe]

My leg, my leg, my leg.

[JPC]

You got stung by a riddle, and Al can't pee on me because it doesn't make sense.

[Adol]

Yeah. Wait a minute. Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. Why would you pee on you? Pee on me?

[Adol]

This has nothing to do with you, Aaron.

[JPC]

You're not even into being peed on. Why would he waste the pee on you?

[Aaron Keefe]

Because to help me not be in pain anymore. Were you guys. Were you just about to pee on JPC and I interrupted?

[Adol]

But I don't have to answer that.

[JPC]

Also, Aaron. What? Do you think that the opposite of pleasure is pain, and it works vice versa? Just because something gives me pleasure, you think it'll take away your pain?

[Aaron Keefe]

No, it's just famously, when you get stung by a riddle, if someone the pee neutralizes. I'm not crazy.

[JPC]

I didn't know that. I didn't know that.

[Adol]

Yeah, I didn't know that either. And you're not crazy, Aaron. JPC and I did just get matching knuckle tattoos. On my right hand it says kiss. On the left hand it says piss. Same with jpc. So we have our own thing going on. This has nothing to do with you.

[Aaron Keefe]

I hope you have a wonderful day. Beach.

[Adol]

I hope you have a wonderful day.

[Aaron Keefe]

It feels like you're trying to dismiss me and I'm in pain.

[JPC]

If you are not going to buy ice cream, you have to walk away from us. We're selling ice cream.

[Adol]

Kiss. Piss.

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay, fine. I'll go back to my towel. I thought we were all here at the beach together. We came in the same car. Excuse me.

[JPC]

Pardon me, miss. This is my towel.

[Adol]

Oh, so there's sort of a French crab on your towel.

[JPC]

Looks like a crab. A French crab at your towel, Erin.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, but it has my name embroidered onto it.

[JPC]

My name is also Aaron Yari. N. Yes. Racist.

[Adol]

Oh, yeah. A lot of Europeans have. Jeez.

[JPC]

A lot of French people have women's names, you guys.

[Aaron Keefe]

What? Okay, you know what? Fine. I don't even want to be in the beach. I'll go get a lobster roll. Maybe a crab roll. What?

[Adol]

Aaron.

[Aaron Keefe]

What?

[JPC]

In front of the crab?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. He stole my towel.

[JPC]

You don't know that. That could be his towel.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's my towel. I brought it to the beach. It has my name on it. First and last.

[JPC]

You are not going to buy I walk away from us.

[Aaron Keefe]

Why are you still talking to me?

[Adol]

Aaron, something fell out of your pants. What is this? It's sort of a photo booth. Strip of photos of you and the crab.

[Aaron Keefe]

Whatever.

[Adol]

Do you know this crab?

[Aaron Keefe]

No. No, I don't.

[Adol]

Erin, hold on.

[Aaron Keefe]

I gotta go kissing in this. If you're not gonna buy ice cream.

[JPC]

You have to leave photos of us from Crab Coon. We were there last year together.

[Adol]

Oh, it's like Cancun for crabs.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, it's just Cancun.

[Adol]

So is it.

[JPC]

Okay, well, it's Crabcoon first.

[Adol]

What do you call New York?

[JPC]

Crab York.

[Adol]

Okay. What do you call New York?

[Aaron Keefe]

Crabby.

[JPC]

It's Crabby York. New York Crabby.

[Adol]

Sorry, instead of calling a cab, what do you do in New York? Uber smart. Yeah, smart.

[Aaron Keefe]

All right, well, I'm gonna head off to the studio and record an episode of hey, Riddle Riddle. And if you guys want to come, then you're welcome to come, because I'm nice.

[Adol]

Aaron, I'm midstream over here.

[JPC]

Well, JPC's really annoying us.

[Adol]

Kiss piss. Kiss piss.

[JPC]

Yes, Aaron. Fine, fine. Let's go to the studio. Let's record an episode. Let's hammer it out. Let's get. Let's do it quick. Let's get back to the beach. Let's figure out what that crab's deal is.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

I love the summer, you guys. We're finally in it, huh?

[JPC]

Let's see. Looking at the calendar, maybe. Close enough. Close enough.

[Aaron Keefe]

School's winding down. We're all having barbecues every day. Salt water in our hair, pee in our hearts. We're having the best time.

[Adol]

The cicadas are terrorizing our neighborhood.

[Aaron Keefe]

That's true.

[JPC]

Cicadas. Summertime is summertime. Cicada time.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, it's summer.

[Adol]

Every 13 years, you guys give me.

[Aaron Keefe]

Your best impression of a cicada. Great.

[JPC]

Okay, cicada. Kill me.

[Aaron Keefe]

Kill me.

[JPC]

Kill me.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, they're like TV static. So, guys, what did I miss? We haven't seen each other in a minute. I mean, we saw each other yesterday, but in terms of recording, it's been a minute. What did I miss? What's going on?

[Adol]

What's going on?

[JPC]

We saw each other yesterday, so I feel like I don't want to answer this question.

[Aaron Keefe]

No, but we haven't recorded like we took a week off last week.

[JPC]

Let's see. Well, not for the show. For the show. You got your episode last week. It was the bunka. Bunka one. We all remember it. Okay, you got your episode.

[Adol]

What's going on? Erin, what's new with you?

[JPC]

Aaron? Oh, yeah, Maybe she's fishing for something. Aaron, what's new with you?

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, I really have nothing. You know what, though? I am learning a lot of new skills over here.

[Adol]

Okay. Spanish skills.

[Aaron Keefe]

No, that would be useful. I'm trying. I'm trying to learn how to do all beauty maintenance stuff at home. So I learned how to do my own gel manicure, and I've been practicing on my friends.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Aaron Keefe]

I've learned how to dye my own hair blonde.

[JPC]

Sure.

[Aaron Keefe]

I'm learning how to do all this stuff by myself because I just. It's significantly cheaper, and so that's what I'm up to over here.

[JPC]

Are you cutting your own hair?

[Aaron Keefe]

I am.

[JPC]

Okay. Now, as a person who recently cut my own hair, I gotta say, it's fine. It's fine. It saves you 30 bucks.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, it's nice. Well, women's haircuts, it's a bajillion dollars, especially in Los Angeles. My God.

[Adol]

But aren't you paying for the gossip?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, but, like, my hairdresser was, like, just a mom of two and, like, really loved her life. Seemed pretty settled in it, so I wasn't getting, like, any crazy stuff.

[JPC]

Oh, yeah, you're like, what were Coleman and Alibi up to this week?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, that's great. I love it. Oh, they learned to ride a bike. That's so lovely, you know? Tell me you did cocaine off a table in West Hollywood. Let's talk.

[JPC]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. They didn't. Not really doing that. Not really living that hard life. Okay, cool. So then you're just saving money at home, so you're doing your own cocaine off your own table.

[Aaron Keefe]

Exactly.

[Adol]

Smart.

[JPC]

That's smart. That's smart.

[Adol]

Farm to table. Farm to table.

[Aaron Keefe]

Farm to table.

[JPC]

Farm to table. That's responsible.

[Adol]

Aaron, where do you source your skills? Is this like YouTube? Are you subscribing to some sort of online course class?

[Aaron Keefe]

That's exactly what it is. It's YouTube. I'm looking on YouTube. I'm reading, I'm watching tutorials. I'm buying the stuff from beauty supply stores that professionals buy from and try to go as slow as possible because I'm dyeing my hair blonde. And you can. I could, like, destroy my hair and have big chunks of it fall off so I'M having to be really careful.

[JPC]

Yes.

[Adol]

Is that what happens to blondes?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. Well, you're bleaching your hair.

[JPC]

They say that you make a blonde, you break some eggs. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. A lot of. A lot of blondes actually do pass away from it as well, too. So it's like. It's, like, really risky. It's like, one of the riskiest things that you can do as a brunette.

[Aaron Keefe]

I could d. Wow.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. So that's sort of the only thing I'm doing with my.

[JPC]

What's next on your, like, not self improvement, but, like, self skill. Like, doing it for yourself. Like, are you gonna start, like, cooking meals?

[Aaron Keefe]

Ooh. I've all. I mean, I feel like I'm always kind of cooking meals. I've been an adult for a long time.

[JPC]

How long?

[Aaron Keefe]

I don't know. A couple minutes.

[JPC]

You just. I just watched you doordash an Eggo waffle and doordash a toaster. So I'm like, yeah, yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

And I'm trying to figure out where the waff goes. It's like this big kind of cardboard box.

[JPC]

Oh, you have to take it out of the box.

[Aaron Keefe]

Ah, too complicated. I hate when recipes are so complicated. I think the next thing I might want to learn is to sew, but that is a pretty expensive hobby, so.

[JPC]

I. I mean, law school. What is three years.

[Aaron Keefe]

To sue? That's funny.

[JPC]

What's funny? I'm so fucking sick of you guys treating me like I'm.

[Aaron Keefe]

I need to maybe figure out something cheaper to do next.

[JPC]

Do you have, like. Because you're thinking of, like, freehand or, like, getting a sewing machine?

[Aaron Keefe]

I was thinking. I've been wanting to get a sewing machine for a long time.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

But I. I think it's just. Yeah. I don't know if I. It's. Sewing machines are expensive and then, like, fabric. I just don't want to. I don't know.

[JPC]

Not to dox Adeline. Too bad. But within our neighborhood where we live in Chicago, I drive by all the time, and I've been so intrigued about going in Singer store. Yeah. There's a Singer store, like, and it says, like, it's sewing machine repair store. And I'm like, you know how you, like, go by, like, like a mattress firm? And you're like, who is possibly buying a matt? This has to be, like, a drug front operation. A sewing machine repair store in 2025. And it's been there for a while. Like, a long while. I'm like, you know, how could it be in business? How could it still be open?

[Adol]

I love that my mom gave Gemma her old Singer machine and then got her karaoke machine. Sorry, it's called Singer. It's called a Singer machine. You sing it to the mic. And then got her classes at that Singer store for, like, to learn how to sew and everything.

[JPC]

Oh, that's pretty cool.

[Adol]

So some. I mean, my mom, for one, is, I guess, feeding money into this.

[JPC]

If they do classes, that's one thing. Because I feel like, especially like, you know, in the pandemic, I think people were interested in picking up, like, a skill like that. So that's one thing. Yeah, yeah. It just seems like one of those old timey shops that you wouldn't have thought twice about existing 50 years ago, but now you're like, man, this is a business. What's the rent on this place?

[Aaron Keefe]

I love stuff like that, though. You're like, oh, good for you. I love that this still exists.

[Adol]

I think that way anytime I pass a store that's all aquariums where it's like, we sell aquarium stuff and also fish and everything. And it's like, who is. Who's going in here besides someone with kids who wants to, like, get air conditioning for 50 minutes?

[JPC]

I always think about that, too. And then Mariah and I have, like, a restaurant we really like in our neighborhood. We had one and we tried to go there the other week. We, like, had a babysitter and everything, but we were like, we never need a reservation at this place. And then we went and we were like, oh, it's permanently closed. Because they were like, thanks for 28 years. And I was like, yeah, maybe the fact that we never needed a reservation maybe could have told us something about how that restaurant was.

[Adol]

Was that thanks for 28 years? Was it like, passive aggressive this time?

[JPC]

No, it seemed like it was like, thanks a lot. Like, we genuinely appreciated the community being here for 28 years. But it was a really good restaurant, too, and it closed down. Yeah, it's a bummer.

[Aaron Keefe]

Bummer, Bummer.

[JPC]

Yeah, it was a Fazoli's.

[Adol]

Great breadsticks.

[JPC]

Horrible breadsticks, but yes, but free and infinite.

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, I'm out.

[JPC]

Bout to get to gettin.

[Aaron Keefe]

Bout to get to gettin. Who would hate to be old man Puzzles for this episode?

[Adol]

Who's gonna tell her?

[JPC]

Couldn't be my ass. Couldn't be my ass.

[Aaron Keefe]

Fuck. All right, here we go.

[JPC]

Yes.

[Aaron Keefe]

These are from Mitchell.

[JPC]

What are from Mitchell? Oh, my God. Tell me these aren't riddles.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes, these Are warm up riddles. The idea is pretty simple.

[JPC]

Mitchell just emailed us some of his opinions.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, these are. These are Mitchell's opinions.

[JPC]

Hey, if you have like a list of like five hot takes, go ahead and email us your hot takes.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, my God, I'm so excited for the Hot Takes episode.

[JPC]

Hey, I want it to be brief, but it has to be like five hot takes and one sentence. Here's the thing. They will never, ever get on the show if they are not legitimate hot takes. If your hot take is like, water's too spicy or whatever.

[Aaron Keefe]

Water's too spicy.

[JPC]

It's not getting on the show.

[Aaron Keefe]

That is a hot take.

[JPC]

I want real ass, controversial hot takes.

[Aaron Keefe]

What would be an acceptable hot take? Give the listeners an example.

[JPC]

What did Mitchell write in?

[Aaron Keefe]

He wrote in riddles.

[JPC]

It was riddles. It wasn't hot takes.

[Adol]

Yeah, hot takes would be like, pringles is the best chip. Tim Duncan is the best player of all time.

[Aaron Keefe]

Pringles is the best chip is whackadoo.

[Adol]

That's what I'm saying.

[Aaron Keefe]

That's insane.

[Adol]

That's what I'm saying is.

[Aaron Keefe]

I know. That's wild.

[JPC]

Okay, hot take. The Ghirardelli dark chocolate brownie mix is better than a homemade brownies from scratch.

[Aaron Keefe]

I feel like that's not that hot of a.

[Adol]

It depends on who's making it from scratch, I guess.

[JPC]

Yeah, you're right. Okay, so it's like a dog is doing it. It's like a dog is making it from scratch.

[Adol]

That's like saying surgery at a hospital is better than surgery at home. I guess it depends on Who's.

[Aaron Keefe]

Mitchell took 90s movie titles and switched them for cinnamon Cinnamons. Oh, my God.

[JPC]

Mitchell put cinnamon in movies and that's worthy of doing on the show? Mitchell, I'd rather hear your fucking hot takes, brother.

[Aaron Keefe]

Switch them for synonyms. Feel free to use my name. Thank you, Mitchell. Example. Deceased Authors Club.

[Adol]

Dead Poets Society.

[Aaron Keefe]

Exactly.

[JPC]

Shit.

[Adol]

Shit.

[JPC]

Okay. Wow. Adolf. Merde.

[Adol]

As a French crab would say. Merde.

[JPC]

I'm just trying to think of hot takes.

[Aaron Keefe]

I would like to see a scene Adol. You are a beloved teacher that has really been there for us all. And this is the last day of school and it's me and JPC trying to thank you.

[Adol]

Just want to thank you all for a great, great year. And I feel like everyone really brought their A game. But seriously, let me know if you need a letter of recommendation or anything at all.

[JPC]

Wow, two scarlet letter puns in one sentence. This teacher's awesome.

[Aaron Keefe]

He's the best there ever was. I can't believe he's not coming back next year because of that huge scandal.

[Adol]

Yeah, I did commit adultery. Everyone probably sees.

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, we didn't know about that. We only knew about you siphoning money from the town.

[Adol]

Oh, whoops.

[JPC]

Yeah. Cause you were supposed to run the music program, but you were kind of just collecting checks from the parents.

[Adol]

Yeah, collecting checks from the parents. And then I melted down all the brass instruments and sold it for scrap. So you won't be seeing me much, maybe on tv.

[JPC]

Oh, because of your trial.

[Adol]

Because of the trial. Yeah, it's sort of a Scopes Monkey Trial situation where, you know, he's still teaching us.

[JPC]

It's the last day of school. He's still teaching us.

[Aaron Keefe]

Ugh. I know how to read poetry. Cause of you.

[Adol]

So, of course, we've been studying the Scarlet Letter. And now we're going to dive headfirst on the last day into the Scopes Monkey Trial. Just a quick little in and out. Dip our toes in the Scopes Monkey trial.

[Aaron Keefe]

He's amazing. He's such a good student. Go for it. We're listening. We're all ears. We're all ears. Go ahead.

[JPC]

I think he's a music teacher, right?

[Adol]

So the schools put down. No, put down your instruments. Actually bring those up to the front at the end of the class. I do need to melt those down. So schools used to not teach.

[JPC]

He probably got caught because of how much he says, melt them down.

[Aaron Keefe]

Shut up. I want to hear about the Scopes Monkey Trial.

[Adol]

It's a musical term. Meltdown. And thank you all for playing freeze frame at the top of class. I feel like that's always a great song to hear in brass. Just a beautiful song. So back in the olden days, evolution was not taught in schools. Creationism was, you know, a little taboo for some people. For others, they embrace.

[JPC]

But you taught us both.

[Adol]

I walked the middle line. Right. I don't drive on either side of the road. England.

[Aaron Keefe]

I want to see depths of knowledge on this trial.

[JPC]

Please give space design.

[Adol]

So a teacher named Mr. Scopes one day walks into school, and I want to say Tennessee. And there's a monkey in class. And he says, hello. Who's this?

[JPC]

This is not it.

[Adol]

No. And the monkey says, God is dead. And Mr. Scopes says, what did you say? And the monkeys say, God is dead. And so Mr. Scopes and the monkeys, they start to kiss.

[Aaron Keefe]

The bell rang.

[Adol]

No, different bell. That's a different bell.

[Aaron Keefe]

No, that's the bell.

[Adol]

No, no. No, I have my own bell scene.

[Aaron Keefe]

Then.

[JPC]

I have my own something, whatever that could have been.

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay.

[Adol]

Jesus, you sound like a Muppet.

[Aaron Keefe]

Sorry, Aaron.

[Adol]

You know what? I. I don't say this enough. I don't know if I've ever said it. I really like when. When Muppets. I don't know if it's just Kermit or fall. Muppets do it when whoever's operating, they scrunch their mouth. They scrunch their mouth. Is. That's. That brings me so much joy.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's the best. It's so fun.

[Adol]

I wish my face could do that.

[JPC]

I can do that with my butt.

[Aaron Keefe]

What?

[Adol]

Okay, he's getting up. He's turning around.

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay. His butt is Kermit the frog.

[Adol]

Hey, what's up? Hey, Adel.

[Adol]

I called for a scene without really thinking about it. I was gonna have two dinosaurs that just got their period, but.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, that's not good, is it?

[Adol]

I feel like. I feel like you're gonna be in the scene and you're gonna be like, I don't really want to play this. And then JPC is gonna be like, I got my period and it's, you know, protozoic, Right.

[Aaron Keefe]

So we're sort of burning through all the jokes right now, so maybe we can pivot. I'd like to see a scene.

I can't. Girl, I didn't ask you. I'm just saying I can't.

[JPC]

You're saying I can't, but you want me to do I just have to figure.

[JPC]

That's not. That can't. That couldn't be. That's not how we. That couldn't be how we are.

Yes.

[Adol]

Wow, Nice one.

[Aaron Keefe]

I'd like to see a scene.

[JPC]

I've never seen Basic Instinct, but I know the natural touchstone of the dress in the chair.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, I'd like to see a scene. You guys are in a scene. And jpc. You are accidentally flashing Adolf when you open your legs a little bit. And adol. You're trying to be politely pointed out to him to make him.

[JPC]

And what's the context where you guys.

[Aaron Keefe]

I don't know what the context is in the movie, so just. You can make up a context.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Adol]

Well, well, well. I see what's going on here. You, my roommate, are stealing my stuff in the middle of the night. You thought I was on vacation, Roger, didn't you?

[JPC]

In fact, I knew that you weren't on vacation. I wanted you to be home because. Because. No, I'm about to. This is the climax. I'm about to let you know my whole. My whole thing.

[Aaron Keefe]

Ooh.

[Adol]

Why don't you stand. Why don't you stand behind this towel here?

[JPC]

I'll stand where I please if it pleases you. Oh, no, you thought that. I thought that you were on vacation.

[Adol]

Why are you swiveling back and forth at slack?

[JPC]

But I wanted there to be a hole in your alibi.

[Adol]

Come on, you know what you're doing.

[JPC]

You Thought that I was just some boner who you could blow over.

[Aaron Keefe]

Come on.

[JPC]

But I had an evil plan to show you my penis in my butthole. Seed.

[Aaron Keefe]

Seed. Come on. Come on. All right.

[JPC]

Have you ever accidentally. Aaron, I know that you have.

[Aaron Keefe]

What? Oh, accident. Okay.

[Adol]

Exposed yourself.

[JPC]

Accidentally exposed yourself to someone.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes.

[Adol]

I don't think so.

[JPC]

I have never. I have never. Well, I guess I almost had accidentally intentionally exposed myself to someone, But I have had someone open a bathroom door on me.

[Adol]

Oh, I've had that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair.

[JPC]

That's fair. That's what I said to the person. I said, hey, man, that's fair. You got me. Good game.

[Aaron Keefe]

Hey, good game, good game, good game.

[JPC]

It's always, though, the thing about a bathroom door that you'll, like, go into a public bathroom and you'll, like, shut the door and you'll be like, wow, this doesn't really lock. But I guess it, like, shuts. Good enough.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Terrible, terrible thought process because that is, nine times out of 10, gonna end with someone opening that door for you.

[Adol]

First. Turning it, like, 10 times to be like, you know what a locked door is? Why do you keep checking it? Oh, this is the one you gotta kick in.

[JPC]

This is one of those bathroom stalls, the auto shuts that you just have.

[Adol]

To push in where they have shoes at the bottom just to. Just to confuse you.

[JPC]

It's shoes on the ground, so you know where to put your shoes. It's like blocking tape.

[Adol]

Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, Aaron, do we have any more movie?

[Aaron Keefe]

No, I think those are it for now. So we're gonna take a quick little break. Just a small break, if that's okay.

[Adol]

Yeah, of course.

[JPC]

Try to think of some more hot takes.

[Adol]

Hey, French crab, do you have any hot takes?

[JPC]

Hmm. Chicken cordon bleu is better than filet mignon.

[Adol]

Come on, man.

[JPC]

This podcast is sponsored by Squarespace. Ah, unbelievable. Hey, Adol. Hey, Aaron. Sorry.

No, no, we're not doing this. Cut that off a while ago.

[JPC]

Cut that off a while ago. And Casey, go ahead and cut that off a while ago.

[Adol]

Ah, look. Aaron Keefe and JPC soundly sleeping Let me just rub a little glass in their eyes to help them fall deeper.

[JPC]

Oh, what the hell?

[Adol]

Sorry, sorry, sorry. You look. You look so comfortable on your heels.

[JPC]

You're rubbing a dinner glass on my eye. What would you.

[Aaron Keefe]

Don't tell anyone we sleep in the same bed.

[Adol]

Sorry. I'm the glass man.

[JPC]

It's fine. I've told you, it's fine.

[Adol]

This is weird.

[JPC]

You're the who?

[Adol]

I'm the glass man. I used to be the sandman, but then I fell asleep on the beach. Turn the glass. I'm the glass. Ma' am.

[Aaron Keefe]

Your powers are no good here because we have a Helix mattress. It's a midnight luxe. It's the best night's sleep we've ever gotten.

[JPC]

Yeah. And Aaron and I talked about it. We realized that we have the same bed, so we thought, like, why do we have to, like, sleep in our own beds when it's the same bed? So we should be able to sleep in the same bed. But we both agreed to it, Aaron.

[Adol]

Oh, interesting. Interesting.

[Aaron Keefe]

But it is such a good. It's such a good night's sleep. And the quiz took, like, two seconds. It was so easy.

[JPC]

Mm. Mm.

[Adol]

I mean, it looks so comfortable. I. I'm just. I'm laying down and I'm already.

[JPC]

Help yourself, glass man.

[Adol]

So. Oh, I should say, also, my car has license plates. Vanity says Glassman. Everyone honks at me. It's so funny.

[JPC]

For sure. For sure. Well, Glassman, you gotta get yourself into a Helix Sleep mattress. This is, bar none, the best mattress that I have ever owned, and it will not be the last time Helix sleep mattress that I own. I love them so much. I love them so much. I bought one for my grandma for her birthday a couple years ago. They're an excellent, excellent, excellent.

[Aaron Keefe]

There were three in the bed, and the little one said, helix sleep. Helix sleep. We're all kind of in the bed.

[JPC]

We talked about no singing in the bed. That was the one rule that we had.

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay. And I said, my one rule is I had to sing in the bed. Keep going.

[JPC]

My other rule is go to helixsleep.com riddle for the 4th of July sale. Best of the web. That's helixsleep.com riddle for the 4th of July sale. That sale is running from June 13th to July 31st. You get 27% off site, wide exclusive for listeners of. Hey, Riddle. Riddle.

[Adol]

Mm. And there's no singing in the bed. But P is fine.

[Aaron Keefe]

P is fine.

[JPC]

Hey, I got no complaints. P is fine. I'm JPC. Why would I say no to P. P. S my middle name kindly.

[Aaron Keefe]

It won't cut that. It won't cut this.

[JPC]

And, Casey, go ahead and end that. A while ago with new McValue at McDonald's, you get more than you expect. So after a long day, buy a double cheeseburger and add a McChicken for a dollar. Because saving with deals is always on the menu. With new MCvalue, prices and participation may vary. Valid for item of equal or lesser value.

[Adol]

And we're back. And during the break, JPC and I decided to learn a skill, and I'm proud to say, jpc. You might want to say it with me. I'm proud to say that JPC and I learned more code.

[Aaron Keefe]

Hit us with it.

[Adol]

Dot. Let's. We'll each do one. We'll go back and forth. Dot. Mm, dot.

[JPC]

So.

[Adol]

Dot. Mm, dot. Okay.

[JPC]

Oh, I thought you were hitting me with a code and I was hitting you with a code. We're gonna do. We're doing it. Okay. I'm sorry.

[Aaron Keefe]

You guys are being really offensive.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Adol]

Oh, shit. Okay. Okay.

[JPC]

Dot, dash, dot, dash, dash, dot.

[Adol]

Dot, Dot, dash, dot.

[JPC]

Doot dot. Die.

[Adol]

Aaron, do you want to translate?

[Aaron Keefe]

I'll marry you. I will do it. They just propose to me. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.

[Adol]

Aaron, someone proposed to you with, like, one of those. The smoke, riding airplanes or whatever that's called skywriting.

[Aaron Keefe]

I'd be like, what are you doing? You even know me at all?

[JPC]

How do you want it to happen? Come on. You gotta have a fantasy. You gotta have a fantasy. No woman as old as you are who isn't married doesn't have a fantasy.

[Aaron Keefe]

That's so fucking funny. Well, I don't know if I'll ever get married. I don't know If I do 100% necessary.

[JPC]

You won't.

[Aaron Keefe]

Hey, thanks. But if I did, I would. Maybe I would want it to be specific to whoever's proposing to me. Like a special spot. Definitely. Nothing with the crowd or public or on a screen. I don't like to be perceived.

[Adol]

Okay. So not like a Panera. And you go to eat your bread bowl and there's a little crunch and it's a ring or something.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, God, that sounds horrible.

[JPC]

Do you think that you would, like. Are you the kind of person who would be savvy enough to pick up on it? You're like, wait, why are they inviting me back to the prison where we met? You're like, hold on, hold on. I think I know what's going on here.

[Aaron Keefe]

I used to wear big hats at that prison and come and cook razor blades into cakes for you at this very prison.

[Adol]

Razor blades. I like. Instead of being like, let me get you out of here. Let me spring you. It's like, let me make sure you can cut some folks out.

[JPC]

Yeah. Let me give you a weapon.

[Aaron Keefe]

I think, yeah, I can pick up on a break in pattern pretty easily. Like when Zorp said I love you for the first time, I was like, are you about to me. And I was like, are you about to break up with me? Like, he was like very nervous and kind of sweaty. And I was like, something's happening. So I think I would probably be able to.

[JPC]

She said, I love you. And you said, are you about to break up with me before?

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, no, I didn't say it out loud. I just was like, are you okay? You seem.

[JPC]

Oh, before he was.

[Aaron Keefe]

He seemed like sick. Yeah. And I was like, oh, you seem like really going through something. And I got on the floor next to him and I was like, are you okay?

[JPC]

I thought someone said that they loved you and your first response was, oh, no, you have to break up with me.

[Aaron Keefe]

That sounds good.

[JPC]

I was like, that might be something for therapy.

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, for sure, I have an attitude like that. But I think also if I were to want to get proposed hypothetically, if somewhere in Massachusetts or New England would be quite nice, like Castle island or Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. But I actually. Actually I don't really care. Like, I don't. There's some stuff I care about and that is not one of them.

[JPC]

I mean, I will. I. I've said it a thousand times. I'll say it a thousand times again. As long as she's rich.

[Aaron Keefe]

As long as I'm rich, I will. Whatever.

[JPC]

The only thing I care about.

[Adol]

The John Kerry method.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes.

[Adol]

Did he marry like a Hines heiress?

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, you know what I would care about though, is a ring.

[JPC]

But he fucked a Hunts in college.

[Aaron Keefe]

I don't want a ring that's too expensive.

[Adol]

I said to Hunts Mary A. Hines a Hunts. That's. Everyone in New England says yes. Why eat the. Why eat the mustard if you can get the ketchup for free?

[JPC]

If you're not fucking an everyday value. 365. When you're young, I don't know what you're doing.

[Adol]

Talk about stone grime.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, guys, send this clip to Joshua Jackson when he proposes to me. I don't want a real diamond. I want moissanite. And I don't want an expensive ring. I want like lab Grown moissanite. Not a real diamond.

[JPC]

The stuff they froze on Solo in.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes. And I want sapphires and I want the band to be gold. Gold ring. Some sort of sapphire, some sort of diamond replacement. And if I lose the ring, it's not a big deal because it wasn't expensive. It's something vintage, inspired, and that's it.

[Adol]

What about a tattoo ring?

[Aaron Keefe]

No. Horrible.

[JPC]

Whoa.

[Adol]

So you do care.

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay, no, it would hurt. That would hurt so bad. I care about the ring part of it.

[Adol]

Okay.

[Aaron Keefe]

But I also, I don't want it to be too sticky up so when I get put on a sweater, it doesn't get stuck.

[JPC]

Oh, oh. Like, you don't want. You don't want a big rock that you can take to the gals and have everyone go, oh, my God.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, my God, No, I don't want that. But also, I don't even know if I want to get married. I don't know anything.

[Adol]

Yeah, because you know, again, someone said, I love you, and you said, like, where are the cameras? Or whatever.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, Yeah. I was like, what are you gonna say? Puke?

[JPC]

Do not even worry about it, okay? You have plenty of time. Nah, not plenty of time. What do you have. You have moments.

[Aaron Keefe]

I think JPC is stressed.

[JPC]

You have moments.

[Aaron Keefe]

JPC wants me to have a baby and he stressed that I'm running out of time. Is that it? Oh, did you see they're banning vibrators in Texas? I don't know. I don't know about that.

[Adol]

Can't be.

[JPC]

Yee haw. Ride a cowboy.

[Adol]

Jpc. Jpc. Should we. Aaron, it looks like someone has joined the live stream. Should we have them turn on their video and say what they want to say?

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, my God. Is it Joshua Jackson? Oh, my God. Is he proposing?

[Adol]

Casey.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, my God.

[Adol]

Shoot. Your shot, Casey.

[JPC]

Do your Joshua Jackson impression. Casey. Sounds like Casey.

[Aaron Keefe]

That would be shocking.

[Adol]

Yeah. Casey. Pacey.

[JPC]

Pacey. And Pacey was Joshua Jackson's character?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes.

[Adol]

Was it Pacante? Was it Pace Picante? That was like the salsa where it's like, if you didn't eat it, they'd kill you or something. Was that Pace Picante?

[JPC]

Pace Picante was the salsa where they did the commercial where the cowboys said new York City? Yeah, let's go there and get a vibrator.

[Adol]

We're cowboys. We can't get them in Texas.

[Aaron Keefe]

Um, yeah, it's all fine. Everything's fine. How are you guys?

[JPC]

Yeah, I think it's great. Yeah, it's great.

[Adol]

I think it's good.

[Aaron Keefe]

Why were you guys thinking about proposing to me?

[JPC]

No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Aaron, you have Hunt's energy, not Heinz energy. Does that make sense?

[Aaron Keefe]

I don't know what that means.

[JPC]

Doesn't matter.

[Adol]

Call Lydia Huntz. Aaron, what if on this upcoming tour, every single show, one of us proposes to you?

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay. I love it. Okay, I'm gonna say no every time, but I love the attention.

[Adol]

Yeah, well, yeah. Yeah, maybe.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's all right. These are from. And you're not gonna believe it, Casey, but with a K. Oh, okay.

[JPC]

Still with a C, though.

[Aaron Keefe]

No. Oh, yeah. With an S. With an S. Okay. Casey, with an A. S. E. Y.

[JPC]

Interesting.

[Adol]

Hmm.

[JPC]

Not the way I would do it.

[Aaron Keefe]

All right, well, that doesn't matter. I'm listening through the back catalog.

[JPC]

I guess that doesn't matter.

[Adol]

Gossip.

[Aaron Keefe]

I'm listening through the back catalog and was inspired by Anthony Burch's Pop Chain riddles from episode 198. You have to link. Pop Culture Works. They're all movies, TV shows, video games and books by using a shared word, slash, syllable.

[Adol]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

Or a form of that word. For example, blade to Cool Runnings is Blade. Blade Runner. Cool Runnings.

[JPC]

Got it. Okay, so the word doesn't have to match up. It has to be like a version.

[Aaron Keefe]

A version of that.

[Adol]

It could be a different tense of it.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, yeah. Sometimes it will match up, sometimes they won't. All right. Children of Men to Black Widow.

[Adol]

Okay. Children of men. Men in black.

[JPC]

Men in Black Widow.

[Aaron Keefe]

Nice.

[Adol]

You want to put my hands on my head like this, Right?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes. And also, this doesn't. This isn't always just one thing in between. It can be multiple things in between. Just as a headshot.

[JPC]

Jesus Christ.

[Adol]

Will you tell us how many or. No.

[Aaron Keefe]

Unless I think you can probably do it without me telling. And if you're stuck, I'll tell you how many.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Aaron Keefe]

The Fly to the Ring.

[JPC]

So are we doing fly to the. Or fly to ring?

[Aaron Keefe]

How does the Fly to the ring.

[Adol]

The Fly to the Ring.

[JPC]

But does that answer my question?

[Adol]

Are we doing the Fly Fly moon? The Fly flying moon.

[Aaron Keefe]

It just has to be a similar word. So I guess it could be the. But I doubt it's not.

[Adol]

In this instance, only a handful of movies fit there.

[JPC]

The Fly. There's a movie called the Ringer, but that wouldn't be the Ring.

[Aaron Keefe]

It could also remember, it can be a different version of the word.

[Adol]

Could it be like flight? What's the George Clooney? Oh, that's up in the air. Flight. Flight. No, I don't want to say that movie.

[JPC]

Fly. Flight of the Bumblebees. Is that a song?

[Adol]

Fly.

[JPC]

Are we looking for one? Aaron. Are we looking for multiple?

[Aaron Keefe]

You're looking for two. There's two things in between the fly and the ring.

[Adol]

Is the word flight, Aaron, it's not.

[Aaron Keefe]

Flight, but it's a different version of the word fly.

[Adol]

Flew one. Flew over the cuckoo's nest.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's multiple of them.

[Adol]

Flying.

[Aaron Keefe]

Nope. Multiple flights. Flies.

[JPC]

Flights.

[Adol]

Flies. Lord of the Flies.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yep.

[Adol]

Lord of the Rings. The ring.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes. You got it. The last of us.

[JPC]

Wait, wait. What can you give? It was the fly.

[Aaron Keefe]

The fly.

[Adol]

Lord of the Flies.

[Aaron Keefe]

Lord of the Flies. Lord of the Rings. The ring.

[Adol]

The ring. Okay, that was a tough one for sure.

[JPC]

Yeah, it was a tough one, but also, I feel like. I don't know, that the spirit of the game is just like. This feels like too much free association. This doesn't feel like a puzzle. It feels like a. It has to either start with fly. It can't just be like.

[Aaron Keefe]

All you do is complain. The last of us to Seven Samurai.

[Adol]

The last of us. The Seven Samurai. The last of us. The Last Samurai. Seven Samurai.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Aaron Keefe]

Adol's having an easy time.

[JPC]

I wouldn't say that. I'd say he got the easy ones.

[Aaron Keefe]

Girl interrupted to Dragon Ball Z.

[Adol]

Girl interrupted. Girl balls. Girl. Girl.

[Aaron Keefe]

Girl balls. I love that movie.

[JPC]

Girl with dragon. Text two.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yep.

[Adol]

Ooh.

[Aaron Keefe]

Dragon Ball Z. Wait, you got it.

[JPC]

Oh, Monster's Ball.

[Aaron Keefe]

No. Okay, you got it. It's just three. Girl interrupted. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Dragon Ball Z.

[Adol]

Sea chicken. Dragon. I see. I see.

[Aaron Keefe]

Dragon.

[JPC]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

Okay. Crazy rich Asians to love action.

[JPC]

I don't necessarily know that this game actually works.

[Aaron Keefe]

It does.

[Adol]

Crazy rich Asians.

[JPC]

Don't think so.

[Aaron Keefe]

I think you just don't like it.

[Adol]

Crazy rich, crazy in love. Love. Actually.

[Aaron Keefe]

That works, but they're thinking of a different movie.

[Adol]

Oh, beautiful.

[JPC]

It's one movie.

[Adol]

Ryan Gosling. One.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, it's that one.

[JPC]

Crazy, Crazy, stupid love.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah.

[Adol]

Crazy stupid love. Thank you.

[Aaron Keefe]

Night at the museum. To the hunt for Red October. And this one's four. And remember, it can be anything from.

[Adol]

Media Night at the museum. Night at the museum. To Hunt for Red October.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yep.

[Adol]

Night at the museum. This is gonna be very hard.

[JPC]

Night at the museum. Night of the Living Dead.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes.

[JPC]

Dead.

[Adol]

Red Dead Redemption.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes.

[Adol]

Really?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah.

[Adol]

Oh, we're switching to video games.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. I said that to any media. I read that at the beginning.

[Adol]

Okay. Red Dead Redemption.

[JPC]

Mark of a good game is that we can just go from movies to video games.

[Aaron Keefe]

There's four things I like this game.

[Adol]

So did we get it?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. The hunt for Red October at the end. King Kong to the witcher.

[Adol]

King Kong to the Witcher. King Kong.

[Aaron Keefe]

And this has two connective things.

[Adol]

Donkey Kong.

[JPC]

Cole Island.

[Aaron Keefe]

No.

[Adol]

King Kong. King Richard.

[Aaron Keefe]

Nope.

[JPC]

King the King and I.

[Aaron Keefe]

King Kong.

[Adol]

King Kong.

[Aaron Keefe]

I love this one. This is my favorite one so far.

[JPC]

King of the Hill.

[Aaron Keefe]

Nope.

[Adol]

Wait, what was the end one? The Witcher. The Witcher.

[Aaron Keefe]

The Witcher. So it's something with witch in it. It's the one right before it.

[Adol]

The lion. The Witch in the Wardrobe. Can I work backwards?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yep.

[Adol]

The lion.

[Aaron Keefe]

The witch in wardrobe is second to last. Yeah. That's the one that connects to the witcher.

[Adol]

And then probably Lion. Richard the lion hearted king. King. Lion. Lion. Lion King.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes. King Kong. The Lion King. The Lion. The witch and the wardrobe and the witch.

[JPC]

Wow.

[Adol]

King Richard was the Lion King. Right?

[JPC]

Huh? No. The Lion King. Move forward.

[Adol]

Wasn't King Richard the Lionhearted or something?

[JPC]

Richard the Lionhearted.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

I think you can definitely get this one. George of the Jungle to the book thief.

[JPC]

George of the Jungle. Jungle Cruise.

[Aaron Keefe]

No.

[Adol]

Tom Cruise.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's only one connective thing.

[JPC]

George of the Jungle to what?

[Aaron Keefe]

The book thief.

[Adol]

Very sad.

[JPC]

Oh, the book thief. Book of Eli. George Eli. The book thief. So I either want book or thief.

[Aaron Keefe]

No.

[Adol]

And I want.

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, yeah, you want book.

[Adol]

This one's pointed at jpc.

[Aaron Keefe]

But also. But then there's something from George of the Jungle that's in connecting with book. There's a word in title.

[JPC]

George of the Jungle. Book.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. So it's George of the Jungle. The Jungle Book. The book thief.

[JPC]

The book thief.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Aaron Keefe]

The Santa Claus to Superman. This one's great too.

[JPC]

Santa Claus.

[Aaron Keefe]

This has two connectives.

[Adol]

The Santa Diaries. Santa Claus.

[JPC]

Red one. Which is a movie about Santa.

[Aaron Keefe]

This might be helpful to work backwards. It might always be helpful to work backwards.

[Adol]

What was the end one?

[Aaron Keefe]

Superman.

[Adol]

Superman To Super Mario Bros. Super Something.

[JPC]

Super something. Super bad.

[Aaron Keefe]

Super bad.

[Adol]

Super bad.

[Aaron Keefe]

We're trying to get back to the Santa clause.

[JPC]

Bad. And the bad Santa.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah.

[Adol]

Billy Bad Thornton.

[Aaron Keefe]

Billy Bad Thornton.

[JPC]

Billy Bad Thornton. Billy Bass Thornton.

[Aaron Keefe]

I'd like to see.

[JPC]

I do want to see a scene.

[Adol]

Take me to the river.

[Aaron Keefe]

All right. So it's a thing where you know how in the Santa Claus. Tim Allen's slowly turning into Santa. Gpc. That's happening to you and your neighbor's going through the same thing. But he's slowly turning into Superman, and you're thinking he's getting the better deal.

[JPC]

So I'm turning into Santa, but my neighbor's turning into Superman.

[Aaron Keefe]

Superman? Yeah, slowly.

[Adol]

Oh, same with me. Like, I feel like my body is changing. Right. Aren't you feeling like you're getting more muscles and, like, better posture?

[JPC]

No. What? Look at me. Look at me. I feel awful. Like, my back fucking hurts. I'm like, oh, weird. My hair's going white. Like, your hair seems to be getting, like, darker and slicked back. Kind of slicked back with a little, like, curl to it.

[Adol]

Yeah. And you can fly too, right?

[JPC]

I mean, yeah, if I'm Roger. Can you fly in a specific car with a specific propulsion system? I mean, I.

[Adol]

A plane?

[JPC]

No, it's more like a bunch of beer from the forest.

[Adol]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's like a. What is this Growing out of the back of my neck? It's like a. Is this, like, cloth? It's like a red, long piece of cloth. What is this?

[JPC]

Whoa. Oh, something's going on in my. It's also red cloth, but it's like, not.

[Adol]

It's like a big bag. You got a big sack.

[JPC]

Ratchet.

[Adol]

Ooh, that might be a goiter. That might be goiter.

[JPC]

Can I ask you a question? Like, just between you and me, How'd you kill him? Because I know how I killed my guy. Total accident. Anybody could do it. How'd you kill yours?

[Adol]

Puts on glasses. Oh, hi. I don't know if we've met. Dude takes off glasses. It's me.

[JPC]

Yeah, yeah. We're in mid conversation with each other. I'm wondering, I want to know, do you have. Did he get kryptonite?

[Adol]

Okay, here's what happened. I was in my car, right? And I accidentally drove into a. I was mudding. You know, like how kids go mudding, you know, driving through a cornfield, my car flipped. I was trapped. I screamed for help. Guy pulls me out of my car, wriously pulls me out, and I'm safe. Meteor straight through his chest out of nowhere. So I didn't kill.

[JPC]

Damn it.

[Adol]

I didn't kill.

[JPC]

That's how mine happened. I'm mudding. I get out of the car, it's stuck. I'm screaming for help. I look up to the sky. Meteor smashes through this dude as he's flying across the sky.

[Adol]

Did you put your mother through the. Did you put your hand through the hole?

[JPC]

Yeah, I put my hand. Stupid. You put your hand through the hole as well.

[Adol]

That's when it started, that one motherfucker got.

[JPC]

Damn it. What night did you go mudding?

[Adol]

This was last Tuesday.

[JPC]

I went on a Thursday. Fuck my life.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[JPC]

I was gonna go on Tuesday, but I had diarrhea.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Now I've got diarrhea all the time.

[Aaron Keefe]

I seen.

[JPC]

That'S Lord about Santa Claus. I would diarrhea all the time.

[Adol]

If D.C. put out a comic, you know how they have, like, Batman and Elmer Fudd. If they did a comic that was Superman and Santa teaming up, I'd buy it.

[JPC]

Yeah. That's a fun team up. That's a fun team up.

[Aaron Keefe]

Santa's, like, jaded.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

And, like, smoking a cigar the whole time and eating, like, milk and cookies.

[Adol]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Are you guys gonna see. Are you guys gonna see the Superman movie? Is that something you would go see in theaters?

[Aaron Keefe]

I'm tired. I don't care who directed it. I'm. I'm. I have so much superhero fatigue. I can't do another one. I'm sorry.

[Adol]

I'll see it in 40x with UJPC if it comes to 40x.

[JPC]

Sure. Yeah.

[Adol]

But otherwise, I'll probably wait till Superman is.

[JPC]

He's gotta be the one here of the like. I would see it if it was a Batman movie. I like Batman. I think people have enough takes on Batman. But Superman is just, like, so uninteresting to me as a character.

[Adol]

Yeah. I do think this one is. Maybe it's either based on a James Robinson run or a Grant Morrison run.

[JPC]

I believe Grant Morrison is great.

[Adol]

Anything Grant Morrison touches is pretty great. There was. What was the one Mark Millar maybe did one that was called Red sun, which was. What if instead of falling in Kansas, Superman fell in Russia? And I thought that was interesting.

[JPC]

Yeah, I guess so. But I think that even just the idea, the character of Superman to me is just like, snooze. Yeah, he's a real snooze for me.

[Aaron Keefe]

A couple more of these Goodfellas to Coyote Ugly, which would be a very funny double feature if anyone is looking for something to do.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Adol]

That is Goodfellas to Coyote Ugly.

[JPC]

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah. See?

[Adol]

Nice. Very nice.

[Aaron Keefe]

See?

[JPC]

What does C mean in that context?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, I'm saying that you like the game.

[Adol]

I know what she's getting.

[JPC]

No, really, that's not what it is.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes, you do the thing to you.

[Adol]

The thing that. That thing you do, that works too.

[Aaron Keefe]

But that's not the one that they're doing, but that you technically get points.

[JPC]

Do you do?

[Adol]

No, you do the Right Thing.

[Aaron Keefe]

Dude, the thing. To you, the thing is a rom com.

[Adol]

Do the right thing. Do the thing.

[JPC]

That thing. 10 Things I Hate about you.

[JPC]

Crashers.

[Aaron Keefe]

No.

[Adol]

Oh, crash the.

[Aaron Keefe]

[Adol]

Julia Roberts.

[Aaron Keefe]

That has the word wedding in it.

[Adol]

My Best Friend's Wedding.

[Aaron Keefe]

Nope.

[Adol]

That one's terrifying.

[Adol]

My.

[JPC]

That's terrifying.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's my something. My.

[Adol]

My wedding with Andre.

[Aaron Keefe]

My.

[Adol]

My. Muriel's Wedding.

[Aaron Keefe]

[Adol]

My wedding.

Wow.

[Aaron Keefe]

I love the Greek. Have you guys been to the Greek in Los Angeles before?

[Adol]

No.

[Aaron Keefe]

It's a great outdoor venue. It's not as big as the Hollywood.

[JPC]

Bowl, but I did have to get Russell Brand there.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, yeah.

[JPC]

Really quickly one time. Yeah. He was doing this thing where he was, like, telling the truth about vaccines. And so I had to get, like, as fast as.

[Adol]

I couldn't be nicer. Couldn't be nicer.

[JPC]

Oh, my God. Russell Brand. The nicest guy you'll ever.

[Adol]

Nicest guy.

[Aaron Keefe]

We're going to be at the Hollywood bowl, seeing.

[JPC]

Oh, I thought you met Herbert. He was going to do a show at the Hollywood Bowl.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, I wish. No, I actually don't. That would be terrifying.

[Adol]

We're going to see Cynthia Erivo, and I want to say Adam Lambert.

[Aaron Keefe]

I think we are.

[Adol]

And Jesus Christ.

[Aaron Keefe]

Jesus Christ superstar. Goldfinger to Shutter Island.

[Adol]

Goldfinger to Shutter Island. I'm gonna say island is gonna be the word.

[Aaron Keefe]

Unless it's shut.

[JPC]

Now are you saying Miss Congeniality two?

[Aaron Keefe]

No, Miss Congeniality two. Eternals.

[JPC]

Okay, now are you saying oh my God.

[Adol]

Eternals. Sunshine of a spotless mind.

[Aaron Keefe]

Spotless mind that comes before eternals. And then there's one more between Miss Congeniality and internal sunshine. Eternal sunshine.

[Adol]

Little Miss sunshine.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yes, you got it. Thank you, Casey. For those I loved them and other Casey. Can we have a voicemail thebe in a voicemail, please?

[JPC]

Why isn't that Casey, other Casey and our Casey's.

[Adol]

Adeline, Evan and JPC are waiting for voicemails to listen to after they finish riddles and puzzies before they do plugs at the end.

[JPC]

So if you've got a question you wanna ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask, ask a one.

[Adol]

Oh, hell yeah.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, I love it.

[Adol]

Oh, and he just crashed into my house.

[JPC]

That was from Coleman. Coleman. Thank you so much for submitting that as always. You can submit a voicemail theme 30 seconds or less as a WAV file hrrpodcastmail.com I guess. Let's hear a fucking voicemail, right?

[Aaron Keefe]

Hey, clue crew. I am wondering what yalls opinions are on all of my best friend hates.

[Adol]

Them, partner loves them.

[Aaron Keefe]

I think they're disgusting. Seems to be a pretty divisive topic. Thanks. Well, there's an old thing that people who are meant to be together, one of them loves olives and one of them hates olives. So it sounds like you're with your soulmate.

[JPC]

Is that a thing?

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah.

[JPC]

What is that thing? I've never heard that thing.

[Adol]

Yeah, I will say kalamata olives. Meh, Green olives. Fuck yes. Green olives on pizza. Fuck. Hell fucking yes. Yes.

[Aaron Keefe]

I do not like olives on pizza. But I hated olives growing up. And then I'd say in the last two years I've grown to love olives. And now my drink of choice is like a very dirty martini.

[Adol]

Olive juice.

[Aaron Keefe]

Oh, olive juice with a splash of vodka.

[Adol]

Can I just get a cold pressed olive juice? Yeah. I think green olives are just nature's candy. Unbelievably good. I think kalamata or other types of olives are like black olives I think are disgusting. Like a dip with black olives and gross.

[JPC]

I love all olives. I love black. I love green. I love black olives on pizza. My go to pizza is black olive and green pepper. But green olives are great. I love stuffed olives. Like you get the olives with the green olives with the feta cheese. Yeah, man. And what I love and this Is something I don't own, but I kind of. I don't need. But I would like to own. I could very easily own. I don't want to make it seem like it's a big purchase, but you know those like long, skinny, tiny forks that you just use for olives?

[Adol]

Oh, yeah. Or like cornichons or something.

[JPC]

Yeah, I'd love to have one of those. Basically a fork that gets through a very narrow, long jar. I don't have one of those forks. I just use regular forks. But man, I love a little tiny olive fork. That's a good fork.

[Adol]

I just pulled up my online purchase history. There's a type of olive called Castle Castellaventrano. C A S T E L V E T R A N O Castellavano. But those, to me, those are the king of olives. They're green, they're big, they're buttery. Very, very buttery.

[JPC]

We buy those a lot. Mariah loves those olives. Those are very good olives.

[Adol]

How do you say it?

[JPC]

Castellano? I always just pick a different Italian sounding word. Or I call them Castlevania olives. I call them Castlevania olives. I think that's easier When I put them on the grocery list. I put Castlevania olives. I know which olives those are. When I get to the grocery store, there is no confusion. I'm not gonna accidentally pick up the. What is Castlevania?

[Adol]

Like the Simon Labau?

[JPC]

I'm not gonna pick up the wrong olives. It's a word that I don't know.

[Aaron Keefe]

Well, that's how we feel about olives. So that's sort of where we stand. Sounds like don't bring us black olives. Bring us sort of briny olives. I know, but we all want to have some jpc, so.

[JPC]

Yeah, but if you're bringing us food, I'm going to throw it away. Do not. Do not.

[Aaron Keefe]

Yeah, don't bring us food, but don't bring us olives. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. All right, well, anything to plug, guys.

[JPC]

Yeah, I got something to plug. I want to read a five star review. If you want to get a five star review featured on the show, go and write one anywhere you write reviews. This one's called Helped Me Pass a Test by Dallin Farrer. I hate to admit this, but the frequent lateral thinking examples presented by the host of the hey Riddle Riddle broke my brain in just the right way. I had to take a certification test at work and I was able to successfully answer a trick question that helped me pass and I got a raise. I can't recommend this as a study solution for everyone, but it helped me. So who knows? Give it a try. Wow. That's awesome. And if you want to use that raise, you can go to patreon.com heyriddle riddle give us 5 or 8 bucks a month to get some extra episodes in your feed Adle. Anything to plug?

[Adol]

Yes, I want to plug my upcoming DC release. It's a new comic book called Super Claws. Santa somehow gets the powers of Superman for one day and it's all the stuff he gets up to. It's all the sort of revenge he exacts. I think it's pretty good. It's pretty fun. So check that out on your shelves this winter, Aaron. Anything to plug or promote.
