Adel Shokira
Is that the Buc ee's theme song?
JPC
Uh huh.
Aaron Keefe
I think we gotta give you personality quizzes. I wanna know what your iq.
JPC
Didn't we do this? Didn't we do this on a I.
Aaron Keefe
Don'T think you honed it in.
Adel Shokira
We did some Patreons, I think.
JPC
Where it was early on we did.
Adel Shokira
Sex in the City. Are you.
Aaron Keefe
Which friends cast which Sex and the City are you.
Adel Shokira
I'm the reboot.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, of course.
JPC
I'm an N O Y S B. I believe.
Adel Shokira
What was it?
JPC
N O Y S B.
Aaron Keefe
No, you fucking.
JPC
None of your fucking business, Aaron.
Adel Shokira
Business?
JPC
None of your fucking business.
Aaron Keefe
I'll get to the bottom of it. I know your wife. I have your wife's phone number. Need I remember?
JPC
How do you know that?
Aaron Keefe
Well, I guess. Beverly. Shooba doo.
JPC
Shoobidoo. Shoobadoo.
Aaron Keefe
Beaverpeltfighter.com no ADOL.
Adel Shokira
Yes.
Aaron Keefe
We're still in person.
Adel Shokira
I know. I know.
Aaron Keefe
Can you believe it?
JPC
We're still having fun.
Adel Shokira
But it's weird.
Aaron Keefe
We're still having fun and you're still the one. We harmonized.
Adel Shokira
Did we?
Aaron Keefe
I don't know.
JPC
I'm in the works to sell beaverpeltfinder.com to Zillow so that you can find beaver pelts while you're finding a home as well.
Adel Shokira
Smart.
Aaron Keefe
I don't. I think I would double check to see if my home was on there. So I know not to buy that home. But I think that's the only thing I would use for your website for.
JPC
If you ever have clicked accept when a software updates your home is on Beaver Pelt Find. No, I bought all the data for $1. I went to $1data.com. I typed in beaverpeltfinder.com into one data dollardata.com to buy the Beaver Pelt Finder website.
Aaron Keefe
And now I'm using Tongue Twister Unlocked.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, you've been in LA for a few years. JPC has gone what I call URL crazy.
Aaron Keefe
He's buying all the URLs.
Adel Shokira
He started a business called GoMommy.
JPC
Can that be a. Like a. Like a play on girl crazy? Like I've gone URL crazy like girl girl minus the G crazy.
Adel Shokira
Like instead of TRL crazy. Boys went crazy for Carson Daly.
JPC
They loved Carson Daly. And they still do.
Aaron Keefe
Do they?
JPC
They grew up. Now it's women who love Carson Daley.
Adel Shokira
Oh, wwcd.
JPC
It's time to put aside childish things. I'm a woman and I love Carson Daly.
Aaron Keefe
Anyway, since we're in person, you'll be able to hear when I slap JPC right across the face. Ooh. It won't just be a sound effect that Casey adds in post.
JPC
It will not be a sound effect that Casey Adds in post, it'll be a real slap. And it'll sound distinctly different from when I slap a brand new beaver pelt on the table.
Aaron Keefe
If I find out that you're being sponsored by big beaver pelts, I'm gonna freak.
JPC
No, these are not big beaver pelts. These are modest sized beaver pelts for modest sized monkey peas. Are you sick of being advertised beaver pelts that don't even fit? Cause they're too big. Because they come from big dead beavers.
Aaron Keefe
I know a fact about beavers.
JPC
Interesting.
Aaron Keefe
I know a fact about their teeth. Oh, their teeth grow 25ft in a lifetime. But since they're constantly chewing on things that make their teeth go down.
JPC
Damn.
Adel Shokira
There's one that doesn't chew anything, but he doesn't want to come out.
Aaron Keefe
No, but he also. Everyone's always like that smile. Wow, wow, wow. He's on stilts.
Adel Shokira
He's always holding open a big book in front of his face and they're.
JPC
Like, come on, Hollywood. Do you have this beaver's number?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
JPC
Wow, that's crazy. That's a lot of tastes.
Aaron Keefe
Isn't that crazy?
Adel Shokira
I know a factoid, which is that beaver, I want to say anal glands are used in a lot of flavor.
JPC
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
A lot of beverage flavoring comes from beaver anus.
Aaron Keefe
Don't fuck with me, I'm gullible.
JPC
He's not wrong about that. It's like that flavor of Gatorade, I believe.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, that flavor of Gatorade has beaver anus in it.
Aaron Keefe
You wanna see me throw out blood? This is your apartment. You gotta clean up blood all over your apartment.
JPC
Idiot. If you look at the ingredients on something and it says like natural flavors, like derived from natural flavors. Beaver anus is one of those natural flavors.
Adel Shokira
And this hearkens back to Lewis and Clark.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, God.
Adel Shokira
When Lewis and Clark were on their sort of expeditions exploring the Louisiana Purchase, one of them accidentally tongue to beaver's asshole. And they were like, oh, my God. Back for a second.
JPC
Imagine being the first guy who's like, hell of an aftertaste. But there's lines forming. If we could solve the aftertaste. We're all waiting our turn. There's something to it.
Aaron Keefe
Water, sugar, citric acid, salt, calcium lactate, natural flavor.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, Aaron, read that again. But as Vincent d' Onofrio for Men in Black.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, I don't know how to do that.
JPC
Water, water, sugar.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, there you go. I'm scared. Can he?
JPC
Being the guy that tastes a beaver's asshole. And it's like, tastes like the first one. Yeah. He tastes like vanilla. And he's like, whoa, everybody, you gotta try beaver asshole. And people are like, no way. And he's like, try it, try it, try it. And then they do try it. And they're like, it tastes like asshole. And he's like, huh? And he like looks at the beaver he tasted and he's like, sees it like munching on a vanilla root. And he's like, nah, come on.
Adel Shokira
You tricked me. Come on.
Aaron Keefe
Is beaver smoking a cigarette?
JPC
Ye. Ah, well, I thought cum tasted like pineapple.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, the second you get it tastes like schnozberry. The second we get back in person, we get fucking disgusting is what I'm learning now. Yes.
Adel Shokira
Adol previously, you mentioned you were going to slap jpc. And I need to warn you again, you've been in an I'll get all the diseases. You're going to get all the diseases, trust me. And also, he's sort of like a shadow of colossus where you slap him and you're like, that didn't do anything. And you slap him again. That didn't do anything. You backhand him. You're like, something's going on. You have to find his weakness. You have to kind of poke and pull.
Aaron Keefe
What's your Achilles heel?
JPC
Oh, you mean like slap? I thought we were talking about slapping me, which is subtle looking ass play. Yeah, exactly like that. A subtle, subtle lick.
Aaron Keefe
What's your Achilles heel, jpc? How can we hurt you?
JPC
I guess you could kill my family. Huh.
Adel Shokira
Wait, this might be evidence in court window. Also, this feels like a trick.
JPC
This. This feels like this is Huck Finn with the paint.
Adel Shokira
We set him free. Yeah. Where he's like, oh, don't kill my family.
JPC
Well, I just got one to do list today and it's killed my family.
Aaron Keefe
But this is hug fit with the pain.
Adel Shokira
And then we do. Someone does that and he's like, I'm free. And he does the thing where he jumps in the air and kicks his heels together.
Aaron Keefe
That's so fucking funny.
JPC
Yeah, I know.
Adel Shokira
Next town.
JPC
You know, people deal with trauma in different ways. There's gotta be a part of me. I am a silver lining guy. So I think that there probably would be a small part of me where if Eren did kill my whole family, where I'd be like, well, I kind of. Now I get to do whatever.
Aaron Keefe
Like think of all the video games you can play.
JPC
Yeah, it would have to honestly to not think about the other.
Adel Shokira
I'm almost 100% certain you one time said, I hope my house burns down because then I can just buy all new stuff.
JPC
Yeah, that would be nice.
Adel Shokira
I'm pretty sure you said that once.
JPC
Yeah, I'm more sentimental, I would say, about my family than I am about my house.
Aaron Keefe
How much more?
Adel Shokira
But still to say I hope my house burns down. Well, so I can buy all new stuff.
JPC
I have insurance on all of that.
Aaron Keefe
Reiselles lateral thinking problem.
Adel Shokira
We are.
JPC
Hey, Riddle. Riddle. Hey. This is hey Riddle Riddle. It's a podcast in two acts. In the first act, we do 10 minutes of bullshit and then some riddles. I'm JPC, that's Aaron Keefe, and that's Adel Shokira. 5.
Aaron Keefe
Are you guys happy to see me in person? I sort of came in and everyone sort of went, hey, Erin came in.
JPC
She said, you just walked from the train. You said I stink or I smell gross.
Aaron Keefe
Not bad. Yeah. You said I. I smell.
JPC
Okay, you smell. I said you stink or you smell gross. Those were maybe not picture perfect, right?
Aaron Keefe
No, but I do. But I did stink and I do smell good.
JPC
And then she immediately went in for a hug. She said I stink and then immediately went in for the hug. What's that?
Aaron Keefe
It was like a warning. It's like when you're feeding a child and you go, here comes the airplane. You don't say, here comes the airplane. And then you don't put a spoon near them.
JPC
The spoon is not an airplane. Spoon is a spoon.
Adel Shokira
She's a child, went to give us a hug and said, here comes the airplane. And then she smashed into my larynx.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, your larynx, not your larynx.
Adel Shokira
Larynx, yeah.
JPC
Which is a small cat.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, bobcat, Same thing. Aaron, I was thrilled to see you. Here's the thing. You have to understand, it is we got here at like 9:45am I am used to waking up at 9:50am rolling out of bed, akin to falling, crawling on my hands and knees into my.
Aaron Keefe
Studio and starting and moaning, screaming and agony.
Adel Shokira
To get up at 8:30 to shower, to put on real clothes, to I'm.
Aaron Keefe
Sorry we did this to you.
Adel Shokira
I know. Thank you.
JPC
I sent out texts at about 8:50 and I said we were trying to be here by 10. We're gonna get coffee and stuff for people. And I said, pick you up at 9:20. And part of me was like, you know that scene in Good Will Hunting when he's like, every day I show up and I hope that you're not. I was like, I hope he is still sleeping. But then when he answered and he's like, 9:20 sounds great, I was like a little bit disappointed, you know?
Adel Shokira
Yeah. Well, one day you'll see me in Paris at a cafe. It'll be like the end of the third Batman and I'll raise my cup of coffee to you different than Affleck. And you'll be dating.
Aaron Keefe
It'll be 7A Dan Hathaway. You're an early riser. You've changed so much. Yeah, like, see, I would rather adel you feel familiar than for you to evolve in any sort of way. I want you to sort of stay the same. So I find comfort in that. I don't want you to sort of change in any sort of way.
JPC
Of course.
Aaron Keefe
I love ya.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, I love. Yeah, I love ya.
Aaron Keefe
No, I don't believe that at all. But I do think that's how my sisters feel about me. They want me to be the same person I was when I was 11.
JPC
Oh, that's sad.
Aaron Keefe
Well, they just assume.
JPC
But for you, Aaron, 11 was objectively better.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I was very wise. I was Aaron.
Adel Shokira
Three things, three differences between 11 year old Aaron and nowadays Aaron. 1.
Aaron Keefe
Blonde hair.
Adel Shokira
1.
JPC
Yeah, okay.
Aaron Keefe
Way less confidence now.
Adel Shokira
2.
JPC
And math, I mean, you were.
Aaron Keefe
I knew way more math.
JPC
Yeah. Was this before you electrocuted yourself and lost your math?
Aaron Keefe
That would have been post.
JPC
Nevermind.
Aaron Keefe
That was, I think third grade. It would have been third or fourth grade. I was in the same classroom both those years. So I don't know which one it was.
Adel Shokira
I don't know if we've asked you this. What's the sound you made when you were electrocuted?
Aaron Keefe
Was it like, it was like.
JPC
Sounds like you got sucked into the outlet.
Aaron Keefe
Sounds like probably nothing.
JPC
Sounds like there's another error in the outlet world.
Aaron Keefe
I literally felt a pop, guys, in the left part of my brain. Like it literally felt like a burst. Like right, like literally right here.
JPC
I don't know. I wonder if you can feel your brain burst.
Aaron Keefe
I didn't think you could. It's a sensation I have not had before or since. It felt like a little pop. It wasn't like right at the top of it. It was like a little ways in.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
And that episode was the first episode that Molly's boyfriend Jimmy listened to and.
Adel Shokira
He was like, oh, did you feel like a trickle? Like a gusher got popped in your head or something?
Aaron Keefe
No, I didn't feel any. Like there wasn't. Other than feeling a little. Like I had a headache and felt a little woozy. There wasn't any sensation post that. But it was it. Literally. That's the only way I can describe it. I felt it go from my finger all the way up my right arm, like neck and then pop.
JPC
And it popped. Do you think that your brain is like a boat where it starts to sink and they're like flood chambers 3, 4 and 5. And they were going over the non essential chambers and they're like, we can lose math and boyfriend's names. And then we have like, aaron can't do it. And she thinks his name is Zorp.
Aaron Keefe
That's very ironic.
Adel Shokira
They're like, let's flood cereal jingles. And Aaron's like, no, not cereal jingles. No, please.
Aaron Keefe
Anything else? Yeah, whatever it took was the most important part. Cause I really did feel like my brain. It was different after.
JPC
No, the most important part. That's subjective. Eren, I think that you are the Eren before us now. So we have kept the most important part. Yeah, the most important part of human beings.
Aaron Keefe
Very funny.
Adel Shokira
Well, here's what's not funny, is that we simply must do riddles.
Aaron Keefe
I'm ready.
JPC
I love doing riddles. It's like one of my favorite jobs.
Adel Shokira
A man appears in hundreds of family photos. He is not closely related to anyone else in the photo.
Aaron Keefe
I know this.
Adel Shokira
Almost all the families don't even know his name.
JPC
Clippy.
Adel Shokira
Nevertheless, they still keep the photos and frames and scrapbooks. He is not hidden in any way. And it is in fact the central.
Aaron Keefe
Element of these photos. Yes. Hear those sleigh bells jingling ring ting tingling.
Adel Shokira
That's right. It's Billie Holiday.
JPC
This man is the Slender Man.
Aaron Keefe
He's in all your photos.
JPC
Uh huh. Me and the Slender man, arm around his shoulder.
Aaron Keefe
He went to summer camp with the Slenderman.
JPC
Slenderman? Yeah. His name's Greg. Solid dude.
Adel Shokira
Back then he was just svelte man.
JPC
Right. He gets a bad rap because he told three kids to go kill somebody with hammers or whatever. But he's a solid dude. Yeah, he never killed nobody with hammers.
Aaron Keefe
He was at your wedding.
JPC
He was at my wedding.
Aaron Keefe
Santy Claus.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, you're correct. It's Santa Claus. Specifically, a mall Santa.
Aaron Keefe
A mall Santa?
Adel Shokira
Just because we say nobody knows his name?
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
I'd like to see a scene.
Adel Shokira
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Adol, you are a mall Santa. And JPC is a kid that has been here at least four or five times this season. And you think enough is enough. Ho ho, ho.
Adel Shokira
Come on up. Yeah.
JPC
Not on my lap.
Adel Shokira
But we have a little side chick. Do you remember Me, I remember all boys and girls.
JPC
Okay, what did I ask for last time?
Adel Shokira
Oh, you. What do you think you asked for last time? Probably a GI Joe.
JPC
I know what I asked for last time. And I know the closet where my parents keep the presents, and it's not there.
Adel Shokira
Okay, Did a. Was it a.
JPC
So I've been body shaming my dad all day to get him to come back to the mall to buy a new suit.
Aaron Keefe
Hands over to the dad. And the dad's looking at. At his reflection and sort of pulling at his clothes because they all of a sudden feel like they fit wrong.
JPC
He didn't want to bring me back to do Santa again, but now I am back here.
Adel Shokira
Oh, you're an intense little boy.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, I am.
JPC
Okay, you're the same guy, right? Santa's always Santa Smell like Pall Malls and old whiskey. Pall Malls?
Adel Shokira
You think I smoke Pall Balls?
JPC
I don't know what you.
Adel Shokira
Your dude. Your Dude's pulling in 350 a day for mall santing, and you think I smoke Palmols?
JPC
Three hundred and fifty a day?
Adel Shokira
Oh, yeah.
JPC
Okay, well, then the tail.
Adel Shokira
The moms. Do you know how many single moms. Hey, man, want to come sit on Santa's lap?
Aaron Keefe
Pants to a mom, and she's adjusting her clothes, but sort of in like a confident, I can't wait to see him kind of way.
JPC
Hey, man, the. The next two words out of your mouth better be switched to. And then for you, Jeffrey. So that's five words. Okay, I want to switch to.
Adel Shokira
Oh, I have two words for you. Get fucked.
JPC
Oh, I'm gonna get fucked.
Adel Shokira
Oh, yeah.
JPC
Maybe I pay Mrs. Closet visit.
Adel Shokira
Oh, yeah? Yeah, we're together.
Aaron Keefe
Well, I don't know.
Adel Shokira
Do you think I'm with her?
JPC
I haven't really learned your mythology.
Adel Shokira
She doesn't leave the house. She's a hermit.
JPC
How could I?
Adel Shokira
We haven't slept in the same room in 400 years.
JPC
Maybe I go out to the parking lot. Oh, find one of your reindeer. Oh, cook him up and eat him.
Adel Shokira
You're gonna eat and cook a Toyota Tercel? Because that's what I came here wrong. You think I have reindeer?
JPC
You just told me to make a model of your car, dumbass sold them for me.
Adel Shokira
Sold the deers for me. Hold on. Is that a threat?
JPC
Yeah, it's a threat.
Adel Shokira
Is that a threat?
JPC
If I don't get.
Adel Shokira
Hey, Toby. Toby, ho, ho, ho.
Aaron Keefe
Yo, what's up?
Adel Shokira
Hey, I got a kid threatening me. He knows to make him out of.
Aaron Keefe
My Car you my mom last night. So yeah, I guess you're on your own.
Adel Shokira
Well, that bonds us, right? I told you dude.
Aaron Keefe
We were getting a beer. You're asking about my.
Adel Shokira
Don't tell anyone about that.
JPC
How old's Toby?
Aaron Keefe
Seventeen.
JPC
Well.
Aaron Keefe
Oh.
Adel Shokira
Oh boy. Oh boy.
Aaron Keefe
He wasn't sexual. He was just bottom.
Adel Shokira
Oh my God. Don't say it's non sexual.
Aaron Keefe
It wasn't. He fucked him.
Adel Shokira
Don't say it's non sexual.
JPC
I think it's the fear thing, not this. I don't think Toby.
Adel Shokira
Well, we don't even. We shouldn't even say.
Aaron Keefe
We were throwing rocks at the mall side and then he fucked my mom.
Adel Shokira
Oh, I'm ruined.
JPC
There's nothing.
Aaron Keefe
It's not weird. He just fucked my mom.
JPC
Ruined. Toby, nobody's. Nobody's saying that there's anything wrong with that.
Adel Shokira
And real quick, a lot of kids ask. I had nothing to do with those Christmas time Kevin Spacey videos. Know when he dressed up like the guy from. You know how every.
Aaron Keefe
I talk about this so much.
JPC
I'm.
Adel Shokira
I'm sorry, I didn't.
Aaron Keefe
I'm talk about it a lot for somebody I associate with you because you talk so much.
Adel Shokira
Don't, Don't.
JPC
Look, you gave a. Okay, you gave a kid beer. You pull 350 a week. That means in two weeks you can buy me a switch package. Switch two.
Adel Shokira
Switch two. Well, no, because they're all.
Aaron Keefe
Get that kid a switch two or I tell everybody about the people beer and the mom that's.
Adel Shokira
I'd have to buy it on like Makari for like 675.
JPC
Steal it.
Aaron Keefe
You drive a nice car.
JPC
He drives a Toyota. I don't know if you know anything about cars, Toby, but that's not a nice car. That's a car they haven't made in 30 years.
Adel Shokira
Cuz they got it right the first time. No one.
Aaron Keefe
My mom. You man, you're a loser.
JPC
She's a woman with agency, Toby. I mean, nobody forced her to.
Adel Shokira
Well, don't say that.
JPC
Say nobody did.
Adel Shokira
Listen, I'm going to head out. Takes out a pack of Palm.
Aaron Keefe
Listen, you can't smoke here.
Adel Shokira
Hey everyone. Kids, everyone gets.
JPC
Say I'm going to head out.
Adel Shokira
Let's do a big group photo. Let's do a big group one.
Aaron Keefe
All the kids are sort of adjusting their clothes with the group photo. Trying.
Adel Shokira
I'm a big group one.
JPC
I've been getting to work on all these in line.
Aaron Keefe
I know exactly kids are going like this.
JPC
Get what I want.
Adel Shokira
Oh no, you didn't want to live.
Aaron Keefe
In that another 40 minutes. ADOL.
JPC
I mean, I could have 17. Aaron saying 17 completely fucks ADOL.
Aaron Keefe
Sorry. ADOL. It's fake, though.
JPC
So that's fake.
Adel Shokira
Oh, you shouldn't have to say that.
JPC
Please.
Adel Shokira
Ah, boy. Here's our next riddle.
JPC
Yes, please.
Adel Shokira
A man spills his coffee while working. He is fired on the spot, though nothing was stained and no technology was damaged.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, no technology was damaged. I was going to say NASA.
Adel Shokira
Oh, like, he spells it on the control board.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. And then I also. Maybe I was like. Or he's one of those guys who restores paintings.
Adel Shokira
Ooh.
Aaron Keefe
But you ruined it.
JPC
At the end of it, you ruined it by saying no technology.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, the coffee was. He's a barista, and his coffee is for a very important person.
Adel Shokira
That's a good guess, but not correct.
JPC
Is he a flight attendant? And he spilled the coffee on the President of the United States of America. It's Air Force One.
Aaron Keefe
The President of the United States of America.
Adel Shokira
No, but I like that Amanda scene.
JPC
Fuck.
Aaron Keefe
Fuck.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, you are. Aaron, you are, of course, our 50th president.
Aaron Keefe
Great.
Adel Shokira
You are on Air Force One. And JPC, you are a flight attendant working. This is your first time working Air Force One.
Aaron Keefe
So I'm the Hawk to a girl.
Adel Shokira
Yeah. Well, we've already said.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
No, no, no. I'll be a different kind of person.
Adel Shokira
And jpc, you're a flight attendant. First day working on Air Force One.
JPC
Great.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I think we should wait till we're back in the Situation Room to talk about that, but if we can.
JPC
Sorry. Very good. Seat belts. Kidding, kidding. It's Air Force One. Do what you want. I'm Nick. I'm gonna be taking care of you today.
Aaron Keefe
My arm. My arm.
JPC
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. You're in the way of the cart. Cart's got all the beverages. Hey, I'm Nick. If this is your first time playing with us. I'm kidding. God. I'm kidding. But seriously, though, seatbelts for when we take off. And as soon as we get in the air, you can do whatever you want.
Aaron Keefe
Nick, are you wearing a Spice Girls T shirt? That's not the uniform.
JPC
This is a Spice Girls T shirt. Yes. This was in the lost and found on the plane today because my clothes got sucked into the engine.
Adel Shokira
Oh. Yeah.
JPC
I was drying them because I had spilled all kinds of water on them, so I was drying them.
Aaron Keefe
They fixed the engine after that happened. Right?
JPC
You told someone you can suck anything into these engines? These are. Madam President, you are in good hands. Cause you can suck anything into these things.
Aaron Keefe
But somebody checked out the engines after.
JPC
Madam President. Yes, of course.
Aaron Keefe
We're going to land on.
JPC
Someone has checked out the engines. Seat belts.
Adel Shokira
Very good, ma'. Am.
JPC
I didn't get your name.
Adel Shokira
I'm Secretary of Defense Logan Paul.
JPC
I am Nick. It is so nice to meet you, Nick.
Aaron Keefe
You smell so much like gasoline and Axe body spray. It is overwhelmingly.
JPC
I think that was on this T shirt. I actually Logan, I think this might be one of yours. Mr. Paul. Thank you so much, Madam Secretary.
Adel Shokira
No, I'm.
JPC
Oh no. Secretary. Skimmy bin.
Aaron Keefe

JPC
Yes, ma'. Am.
Aaron Keefe
Sounds like you're pretty nervous. And I try to be patient with.
JPC
Thank you so much. Cause I'm brand new. This is my first day.
Aaron Keefe
What is your official title here on Air Force One?
JPC
I am the Secretary of Defense. Oh no. I just heard that one from somewhere else.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, me. I said it.
Aaron Keefe
He said it.
JPC
That's it. That's Mr. Paul. Madam Secretary. It's not me. I am a. Oof. Don't say stewardess. Nick. Don't say stewardess. Oh boy. And now I've lost what I am.
Adel Shokira
He's sort of taking out a stewardess.
JPC
But new. Old times they called me stewardess. New itus. But Madam President.
Aaron Keefe
Logan, please don't joke.
JPC
If you need to.
Adel Shokira
Huh?
JPC
Suck me, fuck me. Do whatever you need to. You can.
Aaron Keefe
Nick.
JPC
Cause I don't tell.
Aaron Keefe
You sound like a great flight attendant.
JPC
I am. Seatbelts.
Aaron Keefe
Can't you hear that word?
JPC
Flight attendant. That's what I am. And I can attend your every need.
Aaron Keefe
The press part of the plane. They sort of have a more traditional flight. Maybe get them to stop.
JPC
I was actually told I had to leave the part of the plane where you can press things that might alter the plane because I was in there. What's that?
Aaron Keefe
The cockpit, ma'.
Adel Shokira
Am.
JPC
Whatever you need.
Adel Shokira
Phoenix blew up. Phoenix?
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
I can cockpit you. I can sock pit ya. I can do whatever you want. I can put the whole pit in my mouth. I can suck it dry.
Aaron Keefe
No, Nick, you can't say this to me. I'm the President of the United States. You can't say this type of thing to you.
JPC
Okay, wink. But I can do it all. And I won't. And again.
Aaron Keefe
Hey. I want you to go talk.
JPC
I've been told it's gratis.
Aaron Keefe
Go get ginger.
JPC
Alex. You don't pay for anything on this planet.
Aaron Keefe
I don't? I'm the president.
JPC
You want ginger ale?
Aaron Keefe
I Don't want anything from you.
JPC
I want you to go to a different part of the ginger ale. Oh, my God. Ginger ale. She's on my shirt.
Aaron Keefe
That's ginger spice.
JPC
And that's what you'd like.
Aaron Keefe
No.
JPC
So it's like a Christmas candy. Okay, so let me get this right. Logan, Paul, you want a Sprite, you want a ginger candy, Madam President. And then you both want to pit me, Shit me, Skip me, Double dip me.
Aaron Keefe
You know what? Yeah.
JPC
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Okay, I'm gonna open up the lock here, and we're gonna.
Aaron Keefe
More seed. More seed.
JPC
More, more, more, more.
Aaron Keefe
Scene, scene, scene, scene, scene. My food is 13 minutes away.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, unbelievably blase about Phoenix being blown up by France.
Aaron Keefe
Well, I mean, everybody's great.
JPC
Everybody forgets that France has nukes, but France has nukes. France has nukes.
Aaron Keefe
Bonjour. Bonjour. Baguette, Bonjour.
JPC
We have a nuclear bomb.
Adel Shokira
A man spills his coffee while working. He is fired on the spot, though nothing was stained and no technology was damaged.
JPC
Nothing was stained. He works at a coffee shop.
Aaron Keefe
We were close about him spilling someone's import. Like it's someone else's coffee.
Adel Shokira
No, it's his coffee. But maybe all is not as it seems.
JPC
He was gonna consume this coffee?
Adel Shokira
Yes, he was going to and probably has been.
JPC
We'll say he's a coffee doctor.
Aaron Keefe
Oh. He was trying to pretend that he was in space. And when the gravity. When the coffee didn't float, they went, he's not in space.
JPC
Oh, excuse me. One small sip.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, I think you gotta. Yeah, we gotta bring back dead stop.
JPC
One big loose for two days from 7 11, I'm Neil Armstrong. For 7 11, a big gulp of coffee. 72 ounces of hot coffee in a plastic.
Aaron Keefe
The 711 brand candy. And like a hot dog.
JPC
This is his coffee. He was intending to ingest it.
Adel Shokira
Yes.
JPC
And he's been. He's been drinking it.
Adel Shokira
He's been drinking it. And who knows how long this little ruse has been going on? But we'll say maybe one of his superiors noticed something and then was like, is this.
JPC
Like, is he on the set of a Hollywood movie in continuity?
Adel Shokira
No, those cups are empty.
JPC
Those cups are empty. Is it something about coffee in him?
Adel Shokira
No. No.
JPC
Can I tell you something, guys? I get so excited when I'm watching a movie and a TV show and I see someone drinking real coffee from a cup. I get so excited.
Aaron Keefe
It might not be real coffee, but real liquid.
JPC
Real liquid. A liquid with weight to it. It's so annoying when it's empty and they.
Aaron Keefe
Gilmore Girls, they have just empty coffee mugs.
JPC
It's empty coffee and like, God, people. I know. It's not like your job is like acting. You're supposed to be emoting to the other person. But if you're just doing like silly jerk off motions with an empty cup in your hand, it's like, come on.
Aaron Keefe
Well, gbc, let's see if it translates to audio. Say a line and don't hold anything. And then say a line and hold your coffee or your water if people can hear the difference. And you can say anything you want.
JPC
Okay. Madam President, there's been an attack on Phoenix. The French are invading.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, so that's he. We are not telling you which one is which yet. And now do the other version of it.
JPC
Madam President, he's jerking off.
Aaron Keefe
He's jerking you. Drinking. Jerking.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, he's drinking coffee.
Aaron Keefe
I hate him.
Adel Shokira
Oh, my God, Eric.
Aaron Keefe
At all. I hate him.
Adel Shokira
What if France blew up? The band Phoenix, who are French.
JPC
Whoa. An attack on their own.
Aaron Keefe
Is that Phoenix?
Adel Shokira
Yes.
JPC
Yeah, I love that. That's a great album.
Adel Shokira
What happened to them?
JPC
Wolfgang Amadeus.
Aaron Keefe
I saw them a couple years ago.
JPC
Oh, yeah. How they do it.
Aaron Keefe
Okay. I think they opened for Beck.
JPC
Oh, okay. So this is a man. He's spilling his coffee. Aaron, what kind of men drink coffee?
Aaron Keefe
So.
JPC
But it's not spilling on.
Aaron Keefe
Was he not supposed to be drinking coffee?
Adel Shokira
He can drink coffee, but I think you're.
Aaron Keefe
He can't drink hot coffee. He can't drink cold coffee.
Adel Shokira
He can drink whatever temperature. But there's probably something else going on with his coffee.
Aaron Keefe
The coffee has something in it.
JPC
Is it spiked coffee?
Adel Shokira
Yes. Yes, it's spiked. Yep, that's it.
JPC
Alcohol in it.
Aaron Keefe
How can you tell?
Adel Shokira
So spill the coffee.
Aaron Keefe
The smell.
Adel Shokira
Someone could smell the booze and they fired him.
Aaron Keefe
Where was he working?
JPC
Let's say if I drink coffee with booze in it, can you not smell the booze on my breath? Do you only smell coffee? You would still smell the booze, right?
Aaron Keefe
Also, what booze do you mix with coffee? Oh, I guess Bailey's.
JPC
Yeah, Bailey's. Yeah. Or whiskey. People put whiskey in their coffee, too?
Aaron Keefe
Whiskey and coffee.
JPC
Yeah. I mean, they do it. I don't know.
Aaron Keefe
Huh.
JPC
Aaron, if you love drinking, you'll kind of put liquor in anything. Yeah, that's coffee I've had. It's been.
Aaron Keefe
Wait.
JPC
I want to say it's been many years since I've had a drink of the old alcohol, but I've had like, what are they? I mean, I guess Irish coffee is Bailey's, but I've had, like, spiked coffee. I'm not sure if there's a way to say coffee with alcohol in it.
Adel Shokira
Yeah.
JPC
Nasty stuff.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, I feel like an espresso martini. Is that.
JPC
Yeah, kind of.
Adel Shokira
But it's probably, like coffee.
JPC
It's not that.
Adel Shokira
It's probably coffee.
Aaron Keefe
Look a little bit different.
JPC
Let's drink it in. Espresso martini at nine in the morning. And people are like, huh? Cup of coffee?
Aaron Keefe
Like, yeah, I'd like to see a scene. Adel, you are an astronaut in space. And you are checking in with Houston and jpc, you're the guy at the computer and you are clearly drunk. And so Adol, you're getting a little nervous.
Adel Shokira
Houston, this is Calypso 48. We are orbiting Venus. We're seeing some anomalies.
JPC
Roger, dodger. Ellipso48, this is.
Adel Shokira
Sorry, you're breaking up. Can you repeat that?
JPC
No, no. Oh, yeah, we shouldn't. I'm looking at the. I'm looking at the screen and everything looks to be about normal. So shoot. Shoot for the moon.
Adel Shokira
Houston, I can see you. Your eyes are closed. You got one of those airplane pillows on your neck.
JPC
There's probably. There's a delay for. For Venus. So you can see me from when I sleep on last night. But tomorrow night is a new day. I'm wide awake.
Adel Shokira
Houston, again, I think we're having some audio issues. It sounds like you're doing some sort of slam poetry or something. You're slurring your station.
JPC
Jeff said I go to the bathroom. Cover me five minutes. So I'm covering for Jeff, but I'm looking at the.
Aaron Keefe
Are you talking to the astronauts on the phone?
JPC
I hope not. I hope not, because.
Aaron Keefe
Tell them they're handsomes.
JPC
What?
Aaron Keefe
Tell them they're handsomes.
JPC
I can't say that.
Aaron Keefe
Please. They're so handsomes. Tell them.
JPC
Calypso44, are you handsome?
Adel Shokira
Who?
JPC
You're handsome.
Adel Shokira
Was that for a different craft in space? This is Calypso 48, Fortnite.
JPC
So, landing gear engagement.
Adel Shokira
Oh, no. Our landing gear just came out. We are being thrown off. Oh, no. We're being thrown off course.
JPC
Okay.
Adel Shokira
Oh, we're. We're going towards the sun.
Aaron Keefe
Opportunity for growth.
Adel Shokira
Please tell my wife I love her. Tell my.
JPC
Writing it down.
Adel Shokira
Tell Tommy that.
JPC
Tell my commies.
Adel Shokira
He's gonna be a big basic.
JPC
Oh, no.
Adel Shokira
You talk. Go ahead.
JPC
Tell the commies. My wife talk.
Aaron Keefe
Tell the commies.
JPC
My wife taught. Tell the mummy cummies.
Aaron Keefe
Tell the mummy cummies. What? Speak.
JPC
Speak.
Aaron Keefe
Tell the mummy cubbies.
JPC
What heavy heart.
Adel Shokira
Please don't tell my wife. Mummy cummies.
Aaron Keefe
Please.
Adel Shokira
No, my wife. Tell my wife I love her. Tell my kids. Please don't Mommy come. Oh, please.
JPC
And it blew up in the sun.
Adel Shokira
Is this recording? Is this. Does this get recorded?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, yeah, because I can't sing.
JPC
No, please sing a song to the people.
Adel Shokira
Please don't tell my wife Mommy cummies.
JPC
Okay, Calypso for the new. I'm trying to track you in. The location seems to be closer to sun.
Aaron Keefe
Hello? So rude.
JPC
Rude Rube.
Aaron Keefe
That's ridiculous. Do you think we should go back to Chuck E. Cheese's?
JPC
I too much think to go to Chuck E. Cheese's with me at a nice time. And I got the keys and I got a little kid puppet. Cause I won't let you in without a puppet. That's the kid.
Adel Shokira
Three days later did my husband have any last words?
Aaron Keefe
He did.
JPC
Sorry we didn't have full of the American flag. We did our best.
Aaron Keefe
We did bunch up in a ball.
JPC
We bunched up at a ball. And that's not American flag, but it's a pride flag.
Aaron Keefe
Happy pride. Mommy comes blow up in space.
JPC
Still drunk on a bender. On a Chuck E. Cheese bender.
Aaron Keefe
I mean, it's the summer. What? I'm not gonna go to Chuck E. Cheese bender.
JPC
It's the fucking summer and I'm not gonna go to Chuck E. Cheese and have a fucking espresso martini.
Adel Shokira
Well, summers are known for their breaks. So why don't we take a quick summer break?
JPC
Whoa. School's in session.
Adel Shokira
And we'll be right back.
JPC
1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 2, 3. Oh, adol. I just heard from Aaron. So it heard from Aaron. I heard a news story that referenced Aaron. Apparently it wasn't the thing thing that she was going on. It was an escape from New York thing.
Adel Shokira
Oh, Snake Pilsen.
JPC
Snake Pilskin Plissken. Pilsen. Snake Pilsen. So it was an escape from New York in a South side Chicago neighborhood. It was Snake Pilsen.
Adel Shokira
Oh, sorry. Can I get a. Can I get a Snake Pilsner? Very good, sir.
JPC
Well, anyway, so she. The good news is she still got to meet Kurt Russell. So that's pretty cool.
Adel Shokira
You know what? I'm not. I'm not even like freaking out because I met a celebrity the other day, Kurt Russell. Because Schedule 35 is removing the stigma around drugs, particularly magic mushrooms with precisely measured out microdoses of psilocybin. And that you can Enjoy daily experiencing all the benefits without frying your brain. So I was cool, calm, and collected around Kurt Russell.
JPC
Oh, yeah. I mean, there's no better way to be cool, calm, and collected around an actor like Kurt Russell than having a little psilocybin in your system. Because studies have shown that psilocybin works by creating new neural networks in the brain, which help boost focus, creativity, mood enhancement, and help fight addiction. Four things Kurt Russell must be passionate about, because we all are, to a certain degree.
Adel Shokira
Oh, yeah. Well, except for rot kussel.
JPC
Don't even get me started on vert kussel. Kind of a direct antagonist to Kurt Russell. Always.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, they're always fighting.
JPC

Aaron Keefe
Oh, I'm not him.
JPC

Aaron Keefe

G oh, that was elegant. No, I just. I've been in Chicago so long and I miss my Helix mattress, my midnight luxe. Do you think it's thinking about me?
JPC
I know I'm thinking about my mattress and I wasn't listening to what you were saying.
Adel Shokira
Sorry guys, I didn't hear what you were saying. I was thinking about my midnight luxe mattress. The most comfortable mattress by Helix Sleep I've ever owned.
JPC
Aaron, if I were to be able to feel empathy, I would feel empathy for you and that you can't sleep on a midnight luxe. Mattress which Adel and I both also own and both are sleeping on. And we would invite you to sleep on ours.
Aaron Keefe
Can I.
JPC
But our wives.
Adel Shokira
Our wives.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, you still got those. Despite your both your everything about everything.
JPC
Our wives need those spots for their. What do they do? Wives wife. They wife all over the mattress.
Aaron Keefe
I had such a bad mattress before my Helix sleep. And I could not believe how much the Helix sleep improved. Like my pain when I woke up and my quality of sleep. I love it so much.
Adel Shokira
Oh, and I'll say, you know, I'm a bit of a night owl. I have trouble falling asleep. But anytime I crawl into my cool, crisp midnight Lux, I fall asleep immediately. Have the best night's deep sleep of my life. And all my cats, all four of my cats sleep on the bed with me. And it's still comfortable. It's big enough and comfortable enough for everybody to partake. And what a joy it is to just have those little rascals around.
JPC

JPC
Oh, boy.
Aaron Keefe
And then you fucked our moms.
Adel Shokira
I. Well, that. Hold on.
JPC
My mom's 17.
Adel Shokira
No. What are we doing? Why would you.
JPC
In England. In England.
Aaron Keefe
So she's 80 and you're afraid.
Adel Shokira
Oh, like stones versus pounds.
JPC
Well, she was pretty stones when you pounded.
Adel Shokira
Come on.
Aaron Keefe
Boo.
JPC
Come on. What are you going to do to that?
Aaron Keefe
Are you going to tell me it's Perfect.
JPC
Tell me.
Aaron Keefe
Stuns and pounds. I'm lashing out because I'm jealous.
Adel Shokira
Oh, Santa's not gonna do any more crowd work, but I am gonna do some more riddles. Here we go. In the midnight. In the midnight.
JPC
In the midnight.
Adel Shokira
In the midnight hour.
JPC
It kind of. With a rebel yell.
Adel Shokira
Thank you.
JPC
It kind of does feel like the midnight hour. Cause we're peeking behind the curtain. It's very hot. So we turned all the lights off in the studio, and there's just one single candle on the table.
Adel Shokira
It feels like special little occasion.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, why don't you blow out that candle? Make a wish.
JPC
That's good audio. That's good audio. When was the last time you guys blew out a candle on a cake? Tomato. Like, when was the last time you.
Aaron Keefe
Probably my birthday.
JPC
For your birthday, you're served a candle with a cake on a candle?
Aaron Keefe
I don't think so.
Adel Shokira
Probably the last time I ruined a kid's birthday.
JPC
Yeah, for sure.
Adel Shokira
Where I'm like, beat you to it.
Aaron Keefe
There is an improviser. And I don't know if you want me to name her, but she has birthday candles in her purse and at a bar or whatever, if it's anyone's birthday or they're celebrating something special or a milestone, she'll light it and then.
JPC
Someone can blow out a candle. She got a pack of singles. Or she have like a big red four and a big red.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, yeah. Hoping that all of her friends are turning 40. She did. When I went through a breakup, she was like, we should celebrate. And then she popped out the candles.
JPC
That's pretty cool. That's a nice move.
Aaron Keefe
It was a lovely thing. And I kept the candle. And I was like, this is actually quite lovely. This should be a thing that humans do.
JPC
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, I like that.
JPC
I haven't blown out candles. Well, that's not true. My Grandma had a 90th birthday party that I recently went to, and I.
Adel Shokira
90 candles.
JPC
I know. It was a fucking lot. And I said, this better be your last one. This better be.
Aaron Keefe
Did her hair catch on fire?
JPC
No, I think it was like a 9 and a 0. They thought about doing the 90 candles thing, but of course it's just too much.
Adel Shokira
Top layer cake would be wax.
JPC
I helped blow them out and I was like, this is fun. Why don't I do this? Cause I don't think I've. I don't. First of all, I eat cake. It's not like my ass ain't eating.
Aaron Keefe
Cake for your birthday this year. You're turning 37.
JPC
God, I hope so.
Aaron Keefe
You should try to get 37 candles.
JPC
37 candles?
Aaron Keefe
I feel like that's a fun amount of candles to blow out.
JPC
Well, there are 37 days in December. So what if I just do a candle a day? Am I fucking freaking out right now? There's 37 days in December. Fine. I'll turn 31 every Hanukkah.
Adel Shokira
I'll come home at night and I'll be like, ooh. And Gemma's like, no, the menorah. And I'm like, I thought this was.
JPC
Ooh.
Aaron Keefe
Every Hanukkah just blowing in her face. Like.
Adel Shokira
In the midnight, a man suddenly clapped himself on the face, then got up and crazily clapped his hands until he got blood on his palm, then he went back to sleep. What's going on?
Aaron Keefe
He's killing a mysterious vampire.
Adel Shokira
He's killing tiny vampires.
Aaron Keefe
I'd like to see a scene.
JPC
Yes.
Aaron Keefe
Adel, you are a guy in the summer who has slept with his window open and jpc. You're a mosquito, and he goes to kill you, and you're offended and, like, don't understand why he would do that.
Adel Shokira
What is that buzzer? Here we go. Give a little.
Aaron Keefe
I'm sorry, who is that? Excuse you.
Adel Shokira
That's a mosquito talking.
Aaron Keefe
It's the mosquito talking.
Adel Shokira
What the.
Aaron Keefe
Yes, the mosquito talking. Were you just about to kill me? Oh, so you're a murderer? No, I just walked into a house of a murderer.
Adel Shokira
No. Well, you flew into a house.
Aaron Keefe
I walked. Oh, I flew up to the window, but I walked across the threshold.
Adel Shokira
I thought you were gonna bite me. Don't you.
Aaron Keefe
Don't you guys? Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I was going to bite you, take a little bit of your blood because I needed to survive. You were gonna keep all of your blood, but I guess what you were gonna do was murder me for that. So my life would end. No, your life would be mildly inconvenient.
Adel Shokira
You do okay.
Aaron Keefe
No, hold on.
Adel Shokira
I'm not the bad guy here. This is my house. You broke into my house.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, did I break in? Or do we have different conceptions of what personal property is? Because mosquitoes are communal people.
Adel Shokira
Oh, what's communal people?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, I'm sorry I have to take a little bit of your blood to live, but I'm sure you don't do that to anyone else. You don't eat chicken or beef or pork or honey. What do you mean you're gonna go live with mosquitoes? Because they have it all figured out.
Adel Shokira
I shaved my Head. I stole all our possessions and I'm gonna go live with the mosquitoes.
Aaron Keefe
Honey. Babe, did you smoke that weed again? The weed that got left in the hot, hot car and kind of turned?
Adel Shokira
I think it makes it more powerful, more potent.
Aaron Keefe
No, you're not gonna go live with mosquitoes on a commune somewhere in the way.
Adel Shokira
We need to be bloodless. We hoard our blood. Don't you understand? So much of nature needs our blood.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, then go. Just go then. That's fine.
Adel Shokira
Can you come with me and, like, we'll get weird names, like.
Aaron Keefe
No, I'm actually with someone.
Adel Shokira
What?
Aaron Keefe
He's here?
Adel Shokira
What the hey?
Aaron Keefe
I mean, if you weren't gonna use the house, I was gonna come in here and use the house. You're gonna live the mosquitoes, which is objectively better.
Adel Shokira
I thought you. You swayed me to come.
Aaron Keefe
Look, out of a nice suit. He's actually just got hired at your law firm. Can you pass the pork fried rice? I would love a little more pork fried rice.
Adel Shokira
Taylor Johnson and Mosquito.
Aaron Keefe
Hey, we're trying to eat dinner. Yeah, we're trying to eat dinner.
Adel Shokira
Wait, those are our wedding dishes. I thought I sold everything for a special occasion.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, you sold them online. And I bought them at a good price. Everything. Look around the house. That looks the same as it did. He bought everything.
Adel Shokira
Do you. Do you have a penis?
JPC
Wow.
Aaron Keefe
See? Fuck. Whatever that was about to be. Yeah.
JPC
You tell me.
Adel Shokira
Hey, Bob Dylan, write a song about that.
Aaron Keefe
Is making me go. Are we at the beginning of an episode, the end of an episode, or in the middle of an episode? I can't tell. My internal clock is all up.
Adel Shokira
Here's another riddle.
JPC
Great.
Adel Shokira
There is a beloved Italian restaurant. Aaron, give us one of your famous Italian impressions.
Aaron Keefe
That's not good. That's not good. I'm gonna get canceled.
JPC
Canceled.
Aaron Keefe
Spaghetti. Spaghetti.
JPC
How dare you do that? That's my people's voice.
Aaron Keefe
It's spaghetti.
JPC
I can say it. I got an Italian dog.
Adel Shokira
There is a beloved Italian restaurant with excellent reviews.
JPC
Okay.
Adel Shokira
However, one day, a lot of people dining at this restaurant became sick. Although all the meals were in order and prepared as usual.
JPC
Were in order.
Adel Shokira
What happened?
Aaron Keefe
Common monoxide poisoning.
JPC
Oh, this is World War II.
Aaron Keefe
Common monoxide.
JPC
This is World War II. The meals were at the restaurants belonging to one mousse.
Aaron Keefe
This was Covid.
Adel Shokira
Wow, Aaron, that's a.
Aaron Keefe
That's wasn't one of the first place where it really popped was Italy. Yeah, it was like Italy. New York City.
JPC
Wuhan. Italy.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Wuhan and Milan.
JPC
Yeah. Mulan okay, so all the orders are made to order.
Aaron Keefe
What was the additional information an important part of this?
Adel Shokira
Not necessarily. It doesn't really matter.
JPC
Everybody got sick.
Adel Shokira
Not everyone. It says a lot of people. And you were. The COVID Response was along the right lines.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, everyone gets, like, a cold from each other. One of the waiters had a cold and came into work.
JPC
Anyway, was this 20. I wanna say 2011, when everyone was like, I'm gluten intolerant.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, that's it. The answer is, it was that year where everyone was like, I'm suddenly gluten intolerant, but there's no such thing as gluten intolerance. Aaron's staring daggers at me.
JPC
It's celiac. It's celiac.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, Celiac's disease.
Aaron Keefe
I did get my autoimmune thing under control, and now I do eat bread from time to time.
JPC
Whoa.
Adel Shokira
How is that?
Aaron Keefe
It's crazy. It does make me feel, like, sick, but the same way, like, every food makes me sick, you know?
JPC
Yeah, but, like, I think bread kind of does make everyone sick. I just don't think we were ever meant to eat as much bread as we eat, you know?
Aaron Keefe
And It's a catch 22, because my autoimmune stuff is gonna come back if I eat too much bread or do too much gluten. So I have to. It has to be like a once in a while, special occasion thing.
Adel Shokira
Rolls aren't bread, right?
JPC
They're bread rolls. Aaron. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Aaron, you didn't hear. Rolls.
Aaron Keefe
Rolls are bread.
JPC
Rolls are bread.
Adel Shokira
Sorry. I'm talking about R O L L S. Like when you cut open a roll and you put butter on inside.
JPC
Yeah, for like a dinner roll.
Adel Shokira
Sorry, Aaron, you're spread. Let me hold. Let me pull up a picture.
JPC
Yeah, she's not.
Adel Shokira
I don't think you're understanding.
JPC
She's not getting it. She's not getting it. Aaron, roll me. Aaron. He's talking about. He's talking about rolls. Rolls.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, rolls. Yeah, those are gluten.
JPC
No, we're doing something differently. That must be wrong.
Adel Shokira
There's a beloved Italian restaurant with excellent reviews.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, wait, wait. Just give us a hint.
Adel Shokira
This restaurant is in not an unusual place, but in a hyper specific place. Like an airport.
JPC
Times Square.
Adel Shokira
Not Times Square. Airport's closer.
JPC
Like an airport bus station.
Aaron Keefe
Train station's closer to.
Adel Shokira
Keep thinking about transportation.
JPC
It's an Italian restaurant on a.
Aaron Keefe
A cruise ship.
Adel Shokira
They are Sonic cruise ship. They're all seasick.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, well, this is a solo character that I want to see everybody do. And it's seasick Italian waiter.
JPC
Okay, Aaron, do you want to start?
Aaron Keefe
Casey, you have to do it as well.
JPC
Casey, you don't have to do it. Aaron, you start. You start. He doesn't have a mic.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, but he'll do it. Like one word from far away.
JPC
Okay, you start, Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, no. You start.
JPC
No, no, Aaron, I must insist.
Aaron Keefe
You start. Adol. You start.
Adel Shokira
I'll break the tie. Aaron, you start.
Aaron Keefe
Jpc. You start.
JPC
Aaron, the floor is yours. Seasick Italian waiter.
Adel Shokira
Okay, we have a few specials. We have a linguin. Sorry, we have a linguine. A linguin. And a nice minestream. A nice. And for dessert, we have a mastachioli. Wait, why is mastachioli a dessert?
Aaron Keefe
Perfect. Hey, he did a perfect job.
JPC
That was good.
Aaron Keefe
Can I estada? You are the wisdom. Good.
Adel Shokira
And again, this is Italian waiters in Mario Karts hitting a banana peel.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, that's what I said. That's what I said.
JPC
Okay, I'm so happy I called in sick for work so I don't have to go to work sick and get anyone else sick. Okay, what's on tv? Oh, pornography.
Aaron Keefe
Why are you seasick in your apartment?
JPC
What's that?
Aaron Keefe
Nothing.
JPC
Pornography. Talking back to me. I don't hate it. I don't hate it. Now to.
Aaron Keefe
Hold on.
Adel Shokira
I love a porn. Pouring myself another cup of coffee in.
Aaron Keefe
Casey, just one word from you. Anything.
JPC
Poured myself. Master choli. What is mess?
Adel Shokira
Wait a minute. Can you drink?
Aaron Keefe
And, guys, in case he has the.
Adel Shokira
Floor, my guy had to come in for jpc. Who called off? Oh, so this is a spinoff impression.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Okay.
JPC
Spaghetti.
Adel Shokira
That was my one word.
Aaron Keefe
Yay.
JPC
He got. I thought he was gonna lose the Eddy on spaghetti because he threw up, but he got it.
Aaron Keefe
He got there.
JPC
He got it.
Adel Shokira
He finished. An Italian Oscar goes to Casey.
JPC
Tony, Roberta Bellini's crying in his seat for barfing.
Adel Shokira
Bellini. Roberta Bellini stands on the seats. A boohoo. Well, we got that one.
JPC
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Okay.
JPC
Wait, what? Oh, yes, we did.
Adel Shokira
It was seasick. All on a cruise. Did you. Did either of you guys get seasick on the Joca?
Aaron Keefe
No, no. The first year, I did. Oh, I got a little seasick. No, I got seasick this time.
Adel Shokira
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I did get seasick.
JPC
I always thought I might, but I never did.
Adel Shokira
Yeah, which was nice.
Aaron Keefe
On the Hayward the Rota Live show day, I was so seasick.
JPC
Yeah, I think you told me that you threw up in your mouth.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, you were with Me, we were on the top deck, back deck, something like that. And we were all having fun, playing games. We were with a group of people. And then it hit me like a sniper shot where I was laughing, having fun. And then I slowly got up and Aaron was like, are you okay? And I'm like, I have to go. It hit me so hard.
Aaron Keefe
We played Essences and that was so fun. We haven't played that on Hayward or Riddle. That would be so fun. Casey, you would have to be on the episode for it really only works with four plus people. GPC would find a way to really curse the game. But I feel like that's just part.
JPC
Of the ecosystem around here.
Adel Shokira
Da da da. Laura is restrained all night long with her hands pinned to her sides and cries out occasionally while someone watches her on a video camera.
Aaron Keefe
She's an animal.
Adel Shokira
No one is alarmed. And Laura is happy in the morning.
JPC
Why she a bobcat in a sack?
Adel Shokira
She's not getting a sack. Not a penguin.
JPC
Is she an animal?
Adel Shokira
She's not an animal.
JPC
Penguins or animals.
Adel Shokira
Speaking of penguins.
Aaron Keefe
I know. Should I meet one while I'm here?
Adel Shokira
Do you have free dates?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I'll give you my free date.
JPC
Is she in a sleep study?
Adel Shokira
Real quick, Aaron, I was going to text you about it, but I had also texted you last week and you never responded.
JPC
I feel like I got it.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, because I'm trying to figure out if I can do that thing you asked me to do. I still don't know if I can do it. I'm still waiting on hearing back about a timing thing.
JPC
So is Adel. Adel's also still waiting to hear back. In fact, he's heard nothing.
Aaron Keefe
You cannot gang up against me. You two don't like each other the same amount as you don't like me. Be honest. So you guys being a team in any sort of way makes no fucking sense.
JPC
But if it is equal. But if it is equal.
Aaron Keefe
I like loyalties at this table.
JPC
But sure, but. So why can't switch sides?
Aaron Keefe
Fine. We all like Casey.
JPC
I'm a like not love on Casey.
Adel Shokira
Oh yeah. I said like.
JPC
Or you know what? Actually, I think on all four of you, myself included, I'm a love. Not like.
Aaron Keefe
Okay, I'm a love not like. I'm a love not like on everybody at the table.
JPC
On everybody at this table.
Aaron Keefe
No, Kayce, I also like you. I think I would hang out with you outside of this. I drive you insane though, and I don't love that.
JPC
Yeah, I think that she would also hang out with you outside of this Kasey. In a world where you could hang out with someone who doesn't answer text messages. Like, what would that world be?
Aaron Keefe
Say more interesting stuff than text.
JPC
You show up. You show up and Aaron's there. And Aaron's like, we're hanging out now. And you're like, okay, I just didn't be hotter. I didn't know that.
Aaron Keefe
Wilder.
JPC
You want me to send you some wild texts, Aaron?
Aaron Keefe
No.
JPC
Okay. Uh.
Adel Shokira
Oh, Aaron. Aaron wrote a check her body can't catch.
JPC
They call me Gene in the group chat because I'm fucking Wilder in there.
Aaron Keefe
Throws my phone like a Frisbee.
JPC
Aaron.
Adel Shokira
Let's just have a moment of silence for Gene Wilder.
JPC
Gene Wilder. RIP, Aaron. Rip.
Adel Shokira
You didn't deserve that.
JPC
Rip. One of the greats. Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
Hold up. Your imagination.
JPC
Gone too soon. Got cancer, Aaron. Cancer.
Aaron Keefe
He was great.
JPC
He was great.
Aaron Keefe
He was great on Will and Grace. Did you know he was on Will and Grace?
Adel Shokira
Yes. Dated Gilda Ratner. Married. Married to Gilded.
JPC
They were married.
Aaron Keefe
Why shouldn't they date a really cute couple?
JPC
Whoa. Do you think that they got married before they dated? Arranged marriage. What if it was an arranged marriage?
Adel Shokira
She was dating Martin Short.
Aaron Keefe
When are you guys going to arrange marry me? What's my dowry?
JPC
Ugh. We'll let the guy kick the shit out of both of us.
Aaron Keefe
No, you pay him. Oh, yeah.
JPC
I guess someone else.
Adel Shokira
Your dowry was two rack of ribs. A Claire's raccoon ribs.
JPC
I'm not paying for. I'm not paying for top shelf ribs. This could be raccoon ribs.
Adel Shokira
They didn't specify raccoon ribs.
Aaron Keefe
And a Claire's raccoon ribs are more expensive.
Adel Shokira
And eclair's boutique card $50.
JPC
I can go outside right now and.
Aaron Keefe
In 15 minutes so a teen can pierce your ears.
Adel Shokira
Yes.
JPC
That's the only person I would trust with something.
Adel Shokira
The person I trust with needles. Laura is restrained all night long with her hands pinned to her side. No. She cries out occasionally while someone watches her on a video camera. No one is alarmed.
Aaron Keefe
Not an animal.
Adel Shokira
And Laura is happy in the morning.
Aaron Keefe
Sleep. Study.
JPC
Oh, is she an actor? Is this like a movie that they're doing? And this is. They're doing Day for night on a movie set.
Adel Shokira
This is Saw. This is the behind the scenes Saw five. Not an animal. But.
JPC
Do you think they joke around on the Saw set?
Adel Shokira
What'd you say?
JPC
Do you think they joke around on the Saw set?
Aaron Keefe
I think you have to. You do for levity.
JPC
You think they call cut and someone's like, oh, that just happened. Nah, that's not really a joke.
Aaron Keefe
I don't always say shooting a horror movie doesn't feel scary is what people say.
JPC
Is that what they say? That's good because it shouldn't. Right? But you want the fear from the actors, right?
Adel Shokira
I think Cary Elways set the tone for the first one.
JPC
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
And he's so charming.
JPC
He's just so charming.
Adel Shokira
Aaron, one to ten. Cary Elwes?
Aaron Keefe
Ten.
Adel Shokira
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Nine.
Adel Shokira
What about Mandy Patinkin?
Aaron Keefe
A thousand.
Adel Shokira
What about Andre the Giant?
Aaron Keefe
A thousand.
Adel Shokira
What about Wallace Sean?
Aaron Keefe
2.
JPC
2 on Wallace Sean.
Aaron Keefe
No, that was just. That was me trying to be funny.
Adel Shokira
Inconceivable.
JPC
Inconsiderate.
Adel Shokira
Inconsiderate.
JPC
Inconsiderate.
Aaron Keefe
You guys, that Patreon episode where we talked about fuck, marry, kill, TV shows, movies and video games. I've had that conversation with literally everybody in my life, and I have really been emphasizing that. I think you can't. Video games is a whole other thing. But I think movies, where they're at right now is what happens to. Happened to book in theaters when movies came out. I think movies. I think your golden era is behind you for right now. I think you're a great medium for storytelling. But I think we're in the golden era of television as like a paintbrush and a medium. And then I remember Princess Bride exists. And then I go, well, fuck me, there's no TV show that's as good as Prince.
JPC
I think the golden era of movies ended somewhere in like the mid-80s. I think that's when movies ended. But I think that for a while. And I'll take TV off the table. The era of prestige tv, I think, has come to an end.
Aaron Keefe
I think it's about. I think we're cusping.
JPC
I think. Andor was the last of the prestige.
Aaron Keefe
Severance.
Adel Shokira
Fargo, Fargo.
Aaron Keefe
Severance.
JPC
Are they still. Is Fargo still happening?
Adel Shokira
Maybe.
JPC
I don't think so.
Aaron Keefe
Fleabag.
Adel Shokira
That was recent, your honor. Fleabag.
Aaron Keefe
Second season of Fleabag is.
JPC
Andor season two was the latest of any of these things that you guys are mentioning. I think that. And I just said that. Andor season two is them shutting the door in prestigious.
Aaron Keefe
I don't think so.
JPC
I don't think the money's there. All the streamers have cut all of their budgets. They're not putting any money into it anymore. I think, look, I think we are in the age of TV slop. I think there's going to be so much TV slope, but I don't think you're going to get very many, like big group shots with lots of extras in them. I think that that thing In Andor Season 2 was the last of it. I think we are. I could be wrong and I think that there's like a tail end where it's a slow trickle. But I think the era of prestige TV is behind us. And I think that we are entering into the golden age of.
Aaron Keefe
Video games.
JPC
No, slop. Slop tv. I think we're still in a TV age era. I think it's just the age of slop has I think T2 Rise of the Slop shield.
Aaron Keefe
I still think we're in that TV time. I think it's another two or three years of that and then I think we're gonna be in the video game. Video games have been really booming and become great storytellers. But I think how you love theater. What's the theater where you're.
Adel Shokira
Immersive theater.
Aaron Keefe
Immersive theater. I think that stories that you are folded into are gonna be the next big thing like VR or also live experiences of that. I think that that is gonna be.
Adel Shokira
The next airing it.
Aaron Keefe
Chunk.
Adel Shokira
I think you're right because God, I hope not. Movie stars were movie stars and then came the era of Sopranos and maybe not Sopranos, but when they started getting like film actors starring in TV roles, that was a big deal. Like True Detective was maybe the first instance of that with Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey.
JPC
Yeah. Because like the Wire and Sopranos and.
Adel Shokira
Stuff was mostly like they were still kind of unknown.
JPC
Yeah. Or British theaters, you know.
Adel Shokira
But with True Detective Season 1, film actors went to TV and they felt comfortable and they had great success. So I do think maybe the next move is like, you know, Al Pacino is the voice of like some of like Mario in a new Mario game.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah. That you like experience like. Yeah.
JPC
Al Pacino, the voice. Al Pacino. 91 year old Al Pacino.
Adel Shokira
Yahoo. I'm gonna win, Luigi.
JPC
Luigi's got a great ass.
Aaron Keefe
Well, that's got legs.
Adel Shokira
I go to save that princess. Is that a warp whistle, Aaron? Do Al Pacino saying warp whistle. Is that a warp whistle?
Aaron Keefe
Hoorah.
JPC
Koopa.
Aaron Keefe
Koopa.
Adel Shokira
Laura is restrained all night long with her hands pinned to her sides and cries out occasionally while someone watches her on a date.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, she's a fucking baby, Aaron.
Adel Shokira
She's a fucking ho, ho ho. She's a fucking baby.
JPC
Swaddled. They call that swaddled now of days.
Adel Shokira
Laura's a baby who is swaddled. Mother is watching her on a baby monitor. She cries out a few times during the night. She goes back to sleep, all is well.
Aaron Keefe
And she swaddled does seem quite nice. Every time I've swaddled a baby, swallowed. Every time I've eaten a baby, I unhinge my jaw.
JPC
Okay, Kronos, what's going on over here?
Aaron Keefe
Every time I've swaddled one, I've gone. Well, that looks really relaxing.
Adel Shokira
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
Just to be like.
JPC
Just to remind me of being in the womb.
Adel Shokira
The sleeping bag, you mean?
Aaron Keefe
Oh my God, is that what I mean?
Adel Shokira
I get a weighted blanket.
JPC
Weighted blankets are kind of like big kids sleep sex, right? Yeah. They like kind of press down on me.
Aaron Keefe
I just feel so good for a second. I like when someone lays directly on top of me just and like presses down on me.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
But weighted blankets, they. I like them for the first couple minutes and then I get anxious.
Adel Shokira
Claustrophobic.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, I get claustrophobic.
JPC
For some people not. Well, they help with the anxiety. Like they're good for some, some types of anxiety because they can like be like this like constant pressure on you. For me, unfortunately, I run so hot that I'm always kicking shit off of me in the night in a well awaited blanket stops that I can't kick it off of me. I do wake up kind of in a puddle of my own. I'm just struggling against my bonds all.
Adel Shokira
Night and I bench press in bed so that when I get tired I just fall asleep and I have the weight of the bar on me.
JPC
Yeah. 999. 1,000 counting reps. Yeah. And Jim was like, you started counting at 998?
Aaron Keefe
No, I was going to say he's counting backwards.
JPC
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
From a thousand.
Adel Shokira
No, and it's just the bar.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Okay.
JPC
A baby named Laura.
Adel Shokira
Come on, come on.
Aaron Keefe
Laura is an accountant or a real estate agent and nothing else. We're meeting up with my real estate agent Laura later.
JPC
She's actually like a complicated, complex person.
Aaron Keefe
Yes, of course. She has a full life.
JPC
She's great.
Aaron Keefe
She's also my real estate agent.
JPC
Good, good.
Adel Shokira
What are you. You're meaning with her here?
Aaron Keefe
No, this is. I'm doing a bit.
JPC
This is a joke from Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
I cannot afford a house.
JPC
Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
I'll never have a house.
JPC
What's the funny part about the joke? Is the joke that you can never afford a house?
Aaron Keefe
I guess that's part of it. It's quite funny. No, Laura, I just think sounds like a real estate agent name.
Adel Shokira
Yeah.
Aaron Keefe
But maybe I'm crazy.
JPC
No, no.
Aaron Keefe
What the Fuck. Did I just do energy dipping?
JPC
No, no, no, no, no, no. I think Laura, bad name.
Adel Shokira
These are all real estate agent names. Daphne.
Aaron Keefe
Yes.
JPC
Denise, Italian last name.
Aaron Keefe
There you go.
Adel Shokira
My name is Denise, Italian last name. And I'm here to get you a new house.
JPC
Biggest hair in real estate.
Adel Shokira
One of my favorite bits of all time was from. Did you watch what we do in the Shadows? The TV show?
JPC
Yes, of course.
Adel Shokira
When they're interviewing Nandor and they're like, what's your last name? And he goes, derelentlis. And they go, I'm here with Nandor De Laurentiis. And I'm like, that is a great day. Amazing. And it's like season four or something where I'm like, someone sat on that for four years.
JPC
No. It's so funny when a name joke comes in, like, four seasons in. You're like, God, I was right. Did that just come to you one day?
Adel Shokira
Holy shit. John. Different John. John goes to the same woman every day for advice. He trusts her implicitly and always follows her directions.
Aaron Keefe
Magic 8 Ball.
JPC
Grok.
Adel Shokira
It is Grok.
JPC
Lady Grok.
Adel Shokira
Grok has become woke, though.
JPC
Yeah. Grok is woke. Boo.
Adel Shokira
But John has no intention of ever meeting her. And he never asks her about herself. What's stopping him from developing a more meaningful relationship?
Aaron Keefe
She's a psychic. Because she's a ghost. Because she is.
Adel Shokira
Aaron. This is basically a psychic tarot deck. That is. You're not far off.
JPC

Aaron Keefe
Yeah, you should.
JPC
She drew a sexy picture on a wall outlet and then went out of town for a weekend. I got.
Aaron Keefe
He fucked the wall speeds off.
Adel Shokira
Sweet.
Aaron Keefe
I have been reading Trust. This is a little dark and sad, but something to think about. You know how all the documentaries about the Stockton Rush. Is that his name? The guy who blew up the. Was in the submersible. Oh yeah. The amount of times people have died because men are so arrogant about their own intelligence is wild. Like where women have been like, I think this is too steep of a cliff. And they're like, shut up, I'm brilliant. And then the woman dies too. That happens so much it's crazy. This is what I'm saying that when you suggest stuff sometimes guys, I should probably be pushing back on it.
JPC
I hope that when I die, James Cameron comes out and it's like, I knew that guy was gonna fucking die. That would be the best. I would love if that got published. Just a throwaway from Jim Cameron.
Adel Shokira
Is that what James Cameron did?
JPC
Yeah, James Cameron.
Aaron Keefe
He was like, I should have said something. Cause I knew that guy was fucking gonna die.
JPC
Yeah. I think he even cautioned him against going down in the.
Aaron Keefe
I don't think he did.
JPC
Oh, did he not?
Aaron Keefe
I knew it.
JPC
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Cause he's a big submersible guy.
JPC
He's a huge submersible. Titanic. Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Yeah.
JPC
And I think he's worked to make some of the technology that makes that stuff happen. I'm not saying he's in the lab tinkering, but he's financed it and shit like that too.
Aaron Keefe
But in those documentaries and who knows if this is true, but one of the guy, the guy who did it, the billionaire, his best friend said that he kind of had a death wish to die down there. Like he was kind of hoping he would. He loved the lore of the Titanic and really romanticized it.
JPC
Sure.
Aaron Keefe
And like called it the Titan Submersible. Like he kind of wanted to be folded into the story.
JPC
Hey. And he was folded in. Aaron.
Aaron Keefe
It's funny.
JPC
What do we think of that?
Aaron Keefe
But maybe not the other people who are in.
JPC
Yeah, there was like a 17 year old boy in there that didn't want to be there.
Aaron Keefe
Yeah, that's the. That's the. That's where we were all gonna have a lot of fun until that happened.
JPC
Yeah. Until that happened at all. Kind of fun to say that that guy got folded in, but pretty harder to think about how much fun it is.
Aaron Keefe
Anyways, a riddle or hey, how about.
JPC
We even do plugs or whatever?
Aaron Keefe
Yeah.
Adel Shokira
Would we say that guy's now like Moana's grandma or whatever?
Aaron Keefe
Hers was a little bit more spiritual. Her return to the ocean.
JPC
My ass is in Boana and I see like the. What's the animal that the grandma becomes a manta ray underneath my butt. I just see like a folded up man.
Aaron Keefe
Remember the first time you saw that? You cried so hard. He appears folded at banding.
JPC
Stuck in Rush appears on my butt and I'm like.
Adel Shokira
He's like, am I beautiful?
JPC
I'm so proud of you.
Adel Shokira
Just like an Italian waiter. Aaron, anything to plug or promote?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no. I'm okay.
Adel Shokira
Okay.
Aaron Keefe
Oh, follow. Quality time.
JPC
That's fun to do.
Aaron Keefe
Variety show I host in Los Angeles. I love it. I'm really proud of it. So if you want to check it out, it's on Instagram.
Adel Shokira
Hell yeah. I'm gonna plug and promote the hey Riddle Riddle tour. Go to heyriddle riddle.com live. Check out whatever cities and dates we're going to if there's tickets left. And also the hello from the Magic Tavern tour. We're just Google hello for the Magic Devon Live. I guess I forget what our website is, but go there and check out some dates. Jpc, Anything to plug a remote.
JPC
Hey, this is JPC cutting in from the future, piggybacking on what adol said. Portland, Oregon Saturday, July 26 and Seattle, Washington, Sunday, July 27. There are still a few tickets left. We just released some more tickets for those shows, so get them while they're hot because they're going fast. And then our show in Los Angeles on Friday, August 1st. Still some tickets left for that, plus our livestream and I just heard from the venue. The livestream tickets will be available up to two weeks after the show ends and you will have that long to watch the live stream. So if you buy the livestream, you can watch it for two weeks. Or if like a week after the show you say, hey, I want to see that live stream. You can still get it for two weeks after Friday, August 1st. But the live tickets, they're only for that night. All right, now to you, JPC Saturday nights at I.O. world News Tonight. You can come and see that show every Saturday. I'm there some Saturdays. Not every Saturday, but I'm there some Saturdays. Or you can follow us on Instagram to see the cast lists that we post the week of the show. And I think that's it. Aaron, I know you're probably gonna say no, but I've recently come into a little bit of money. $1 billion, and I am building a rocket ship. I'm going to use a GameCube controller to pilot the rocket ship. And it doesn't matter what planet we go to. I'm not picky about that.
Aaron Keefe
Jupiter.
JPC
Great.
Adel Shokira
I thought for sure he was going to say, I came into money, I got kicked out of the bank, I can't go back to that bank. Something like that. Does that make sense?
Aaron Keefe
Oh, my God.
Adel Shokira
I came into some money. I can never go back.
Aaron Keefe
And JC cut out the music right here. It's all just sort of sit in the silence before he comes back in. All right, you can do that. What'd you say about coming into money?
Adel Shokira
Nothing.
