#383: Don't Tell!

Summary

Hey Riddle Riddle – Episode #383: Don't Tell! (November 19, 2025)

Episode Overview

This episode of Hey Riddle Riddle is classic chaotic Clue Crew fun: hosts Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan (JPC) bounce between riddle-solving, improv comedy, and affectionate ribbing—proving, once again, that the podcast is barely about riddles. The group tackles a new suite of “trios” riddles, improvises elaborate scenes on the fly (often at Erin’s expense), debates the merits and history of old-timey swearing, and gets lost in a deep well of nostalgia (and tangents) for 90s and 00s pop culture. The tone remains loose, playful, and irreverent, with their improvisational energy propelling the episode more than any head-scratching riddle.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Post-Recording Chaos & Sleep Deprivation

• The episode opens with Adal, Erin, and JPC coming down from a wild previous recording. Erin jokes about not having slept, and everyone is in a slightly delirious mood, setting a frenetic comic tone.
  • Notable Quote (Erin, 08:05): “We are on week two of episodes where I have not slept. For you guys, it’s going to be weeks and weeks. Ten weeks. Ten weeks.”
• The dynamic is a bit slap-happy, fueling both sharper jokes and more off-the-wall improv.

2. Riddle Segment: “Trios”

• Adal introduces a recurring riddle format: three items, find the common thread.
• The riddles range from clever (Tropicana, accordion player, anaconda: “They all squeeze”) to pop culture-infused (The Great Barrier Reef, Alexander the Great, Frosted Flakes: “They’re all great”).
  • Notable Moment (10:13): JPC nails the first riddle instantly: “They all squeeze professionally.”
  • Notable Moment (14:33): Erin and Adal laugh at the word “fresh” as Boston slang for a rude child.
• The scenes spun off from solved riddles include:
  • A drunken new Tropicana employee (Erin) trying to spike mimosas at work (11:03).
  • Alexander the Great’s Thanksgiving with his underwhelming brother (15:06).
  • A rude Massachusetts kid trying to sneak onto a roller coaster (20:38).

3. Improv Scenes Galore

• The riddles are mostly springboards for long, winding improv scenes. Erin plays characters ranging from drunk Tropicana staff to Alexander the Great’s underachieving brother, to a Bostonian kid.
  • Examples include a fast-food “spy code" gone wrong (03:17), and an Old-Timey Newsroom (43:43).
  • Recurring Joke: Erin closing her eyes to “listen better” to riddles, which the guys spin into a running gag about her napping through the episode.

4. Pop Culture & Musical Tangents

• The hosts spiral into comedic debates about 90s/00s music (“Who sings that song?”), the Monkees, Smash Mouth vs. Lynn, and the oddities of celebrity nicknames.
  • Notable Moment (34:02): “What if A League of Their Own was all Disney characters?” prompts a mashup of Disney and baseball references.
• Extended digressions about old video games (NBA Jam, Bubble Bobble, Worms), revealing the trio’s nostalgia and willingness to follow any tangent.

5. Feminist & Social Commentary

• When discussing MLMs, Erin gets a bit pointed about how such schemes target women and stay-at-home moms:
  • Notable Quote (Erin, 69:46): “It’s so predatory to women and like young women and stay-at-home moms, and it’s just so cruel...”
• This pattern—serious point followed by an undercutting joke—is a trademark of the podcast’s humor.

6. Old-Timey Swearing & Trivia

• The trio explores historical curses like “bejabbers” and “arf, arf, and arf,” riffing on Victorian slang and joking about what words dogs would find offensive in the podcast.
  • Notable Moment (49:05, JPC): “Do you call someone a bejabbers or do you say what the bejabbers?”
• Classic old movie references, connecting Angela Lansbury, Agatha Christie, and Murder, She Wrote (51:03).

7. Inside Jokes & Self-Referential Humor

• Several running jokes rely on podcast lore, like coupons for “skip a riddle,” Tony Shalhoub as “Lebanese De Niro,” and recalling bits from previous years.
  • Notable Quote (JPC, 53:00): “It’s not what I say, it’s what I must say... It’s a compulsion.”

8. Listener Engagement & Plugs

• The episode closes with the group plugging Hello From the Magic Tavern, Gumshoes & Dragons, their Patreon, and reading a 5-star review that roasts the fact they’re “stuck on a riddle improv podcast.”
  • Notable Quote (71:57, JPC): “It is important to keep perspective... at least you’re not on a riddle improv podcast.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments (with Timestamps)

• JPC (10:13): “They all squeeze professionally.” (Solves riddle: Tropicana, accordion player, anaconda)
• Erin (14:21): “Hopeful. Hopeful.” (Asked if it’s ‘sad’ that future grandmas/grandpas will have butt-chugged)
• Adal (20:00): “Fresh horses. That’s so funny.”
• Erin (25:04): “Does that mean that pantyhose are reptiles?”
• Adal (55:24): “They’re all liars.” (On the riddle: an ancient harp, perjury, boy who cried wolf)

• Erin (69:48): “It’s so predatory to women ... so cruel that when you’re trying...”

Summary for the Uninitiated

Hey Riddle Riddle #383 is a showcase of the show's unique blend of riddle-solving and improv. Most "riddles" serve as cues for comedic tangents and character scenes rather than solemn logic games. This episode features extended bits about old movies, women’s pantyhose in eggs, Alexander the Great’s family, and the perils of multi-level marketing, all while ribbing each other mercilessly and making pointed jokes about podcasting itself. Even if you come for the riddles, you’ll stay for the circus of character work and the lovingly anarchic chemistry of the hosts.

Recommended for: Listeners who enjoy comedy improv, unserious puzzle solving, and podcasts that come with their own internal mythology.

[A]

Okay, on your order, I have one hay and two riddles with ranch and a Sprite. You can pull up to the first window.

[B]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I. Maybe you didn't. Did you say cranch?

[A]

I said ranch.

[B]

Oh, I. Okay. Yeah, no, I probably was enunciating when I ordered. Oh, yeah. We needed cranch.

[A]

Sir, what is cranch?

[B]

Can you give me one second? They're asking me what cranch is. That's the code, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Is there, like, a second part?

[C]

Did she touch her nose or something?

[B]

Well, it's over a speaker. I don't actually. I don't know if they're touching their nose or not. It's over a speaker, sir.

[A]

The line's pretty long, so if you want to pull up to that first window.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, but we just really want to make sure we need the cranch on the hay. Riddle. Riddle.

[C]

Cranch. We need cranch.

[B]

Cranch.

[C]

Extra cranch.

[B]

Not extra cranch. I'm not made of money.

[C]

Oh, sorry.

[A]

What could cranch be? It's probably ranch with something in it.

[B]

Is there, like, another. Is there, like, a second part to the code that I need to know about?

[C]

The eagle flies at dawn. But that's supposed to be after they respond to cranch.

[B]

I'll pepper it in now. Excuse me. I figured out what's in cranch.

[A]

Sure.

[B]

The eagle flies at dawn.

[C]

Nice. Subtle.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You want to add the eagle burger to your. Ooh, they have order.

[C]

Yeah, I want to try it. I want to try it. There.

[A]

It's the most American thing on the menu.

[C]

Never mind.

[A]

Would you like to supersize that?

[B]

Oh, you do supersize at this restaurant, too?

[A]

Yeah, when we supersize the eagle burger, it's just we do the full bird between two buns. Sometimes it's still alive.

[C]

On the menu, it said supper size. Is that because of, like. Like, legal threats?

[A]

Yeah, we are not allowed to after McDonald's infringement.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

You can spell it however you want, but you can still call it supersize.

[A]

Yeah, well, unless any narcs come through here and try to tell me. Can you pull up to the window, sir? I think you got to pay. You're holding up the line.

[C]

I think the mention of narc is part of the code. I think. I think they are.

[A]

I think you guys. Can I make a wild guess? There's been a bunch of spies that have been pulling up to this window all night.

[B]

Whoa.

[C]

What?

[A]

You are at the wrong. It is. You want Wendy's. This is. Hey, riddle. Riddle. That is three doors down. You want the Wendy's. That's where all the spies are meeting at the end.

[B]

This is three doors down. Hit it. Adult.

[C]

Never been Riddle. Blind man. No, that's Nickelback.

[A]

Get out of the line.

[B]

We'll fail.

[C]

Sorry.

[B]

Yeah, we'll pull forward. Wow. Which one was three doors down?

[C]

Oh, if I go crazy, then will.

[A]

You still call me Superman? Man, you're brilliant.

[B]

My mind wanted to say this is the story of a girl who cried a reverend around the whole world. I don't think that's Theodore Savvy.

[C]

And while she looks so good in photographs, I absolutely love it when she.

[A]

When she smiles.

[B]

We still might be in the how.

[A]

Many days in a year?

[C]

65.

[B]

I don't know if we can ever find out who sings that song, but that's okay because we don't need to know. And I'm okay going the rest of my life not knowing who sings that song.

[A]

Guys, I'm working on the Best of episodes for this year. And at the beginning of this year, we promised that we would do a impression of the person that sings. Might as well be.

[B]

What? Lynn. It's Lynn. It's the band. Lynn is. We're not allowed to sing?

[A]

Have we made it the whole year?

[C]

Wait, what are you saying?

[A]

In an early episode, we said that we were banned from doing an impression of Lynn. Lynn. Is that who it is?

[B]

Yes, the band Lynn.

[C]

Oh, I thought you said might as well be walking on the sun.

[A]

Isn't that.

[C]

That's smash mouth, right?

[B]

That's smash mouth, Aaron.

[A]

Then what the fuck am I saying?

[B]

I thought Erin was saying that so she could avoid singing the song that Lynn sings.

[A]

What is the song that Lynn sings?

[B]

So, Aaron, I happen to know because I also just listened to this episode because while I'm not doing the best of us, I am doing the out of context clip bracket again this year. And I will say, God, that should have.

[A]

You should have done the best of. So we both didn't have to.

[B]

We're doing a lot of duplicate work. A lot of.

[A]

What's the song?

[B]

Well, I know the song, Aaron, but you're not gonna get me on the year that we banned Lynn from the podcast.

[A]

What was it? I don't mean again.

[B]

Hey, nice try, asshole. It's not happening. We also, in that episode, we mentioned how we were, like, not gonna Google. Aaron was like, let's just say we're not gonna Google for a month. And I was insistent on it being the whole year. And we've googled a thousand times this year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because we love knowledge and we love seeking it out.

[C]

Absolutely.

[A]

We are on week two of episodes where I have not slept. For me, it's only been a couple hours. For you guys, it is going to be weeks and weeks and weeks. Ten weeks. Ten weeks.

[B]

Does aer think we're recording, like, six more episodes today? Maybe she hasn't slept. Maybe this is a side effect.

[C]

Well, should we do some riddles to get Aaron a little wakey, wakey?

[B]

Do you think that that will do that?

[C]

Let's do some riddles.

[A]

Do they have eggs and bakey in them? Because I'm very hungry.

[C]

I do think wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey is an underused phrase or song. Let's start with, we'll do some trios. We've done some of these before, so I'm going to give you three things. You have to tell me what they have in common.

[B]

Aaron's eyes are closed. She's asleep. I can see her eyes are closed.

[A]

No. Remember, it's my branding. I close my eyes when I listen to riddles. Go back and do your homework for the show's lore.

[B]

I guess it's appropriate branding, but on a day when you haven't slept. I know.

[A]

My eyelids felt so heavy, and I really found. I really felt so nice for a second to close my eyes. All right, Adol, I'm ready.

[C]

And we go inside Aaron's dream while she's closing her eyes. Hey, Aaron, here's your riddle. What does a big plate of French toast and you don't get sick from it. A massage just for you and your dog. And jpc. What's another thing Aaron would want? Like.

[B]

You know how there's, like, a thing with, like, hitmen where they're like, I don't do women. I don't do kids. Do you think there's, like, a thing with masseuse where they're like, I don't do women. I don't do dogs.

[A]

Why are they so. Every dream I have is these two guys just chatting with each other?

[C]

Aaron. Aaron, wake up.

[B]

Aaron, wake up. Wake up.

[C]

I said the riddle. Did you want to try and solve it?

[A]

Toaster?

[C]

Ooh, so close. I'll read it again.

[B]

It was Cylon Aaron, this is three.

[C]

Things you have to tell me what they have in common. The Tropicana Corporation. An accordion player. An anaconda.

[B]

They all squeeze professionally. They all.

[C]

Yes, they all squeeze.

[A]

Thank God you went first. Thank go. You went first. I will thank God every day for you going first.

[B]

I always think of it because it's that song that my Tropicana don't want none unless you've got buns, hun.

[C]

I do want to see a scene.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

The two of you are employees at Tropicana. Aaron, it is your first day on the job and JPC is teaching you how to squeeze the oranges.

[B]

So this press fits 1,000 oranges. Now, it doesn't have to be exact. It just can't be more than a thousand oranges. And you have to make sure your hands are clear of the machine. And then you just press here. And that starts the squeezing process.

[A]

Totally. And when do you put the champagne in?

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

So you keep this party going for sure.

[B]

You're talking about mimosas. And mimosas are like the noble screwdriver are a orange juice drink. But it's not a drink that we make at Tropicana. So, yeah, no champagne, no vodka. Although we do have a saying here. If you can tropathinkit, you can Tropicana do it.

[A]

But that's not very good, is it?

[B]

Hey, man, the saying is not good. No, it's not very good. It's good.

[A]

You can trop a thinkit. You can Tropicana do it. You know what I think we can do? I think we could be innovators here, man. And I think we could squeeze champagne bottles into this as well.

[B]

That's something we can Tropicana do. That's even better. I don't know why I wasn't that way.

[A]

You said.

[B]

No, you said it. I said Tropicana think it. We could Tropicana do it, but canna do it. Can do is like right there.

[A]

I'm just a drunk lady on the first day of the job.

[B]

Drunk.

[A]

I take anything I say, lady. Too serious.

[C]

Thank you for applying here. I know that you got let go from Tropicana for undisclosed reasons, but we here at Minute Maid are thrilled to have you on board. We do try and make the orange juice in a minute. We actually spelled maid wrong the first go, but we just left it. So why don't you give it a squeeze?

[A]

Here I go. Okay, one. And I'm just gonna also squeeze a vodka bottle into it as well. I can chop a can and do what I want. I'm an innovator. I'm cutting out the middle man, and.

[C]

This is Minute Maid, so we do have to fire you.

[A]

Alcohol in. What?

[C]

You can't.

[A]

I didn't say I'm cutting out the Minute Man. I said I'm cutting out the middleman.

[C]

No, no. It was the Tropicana pun that was getting.

[A]

Come on, you guys. Can't we all just get along? Tropicana, Sunny D, Minute Maid. The other ones.

[C]

Sunny D. You think Sunny D is orange juice?

[A]

Yeah. Have you ever put champagne and Sunny D together? That'll make you feel alive. Sir.

[C]

Mimnosa. Mimno. Sir. I'm gonna fire myself.

[B]

Mimosa. Ugh.

[C]

A mimosa with sunny D. Aaron, that sounds really horrible.

[B]

Is that something that you've done?

[A]

No. Thank God.

[B]

Okay, good, Aaron. Good, Aaron. Good.

[A]

A way that at my college, the way that they were hazing freshmen. My year in the theater program is at the first college party, freshmen could decide to drink mimosas all night or absinthe. And I picked mimosas, which was a horrible hangover. But at least I wasn't throwing up green looking at you. All my friends that picked absinthe, that was my first memory of a lot of you was you throwing up green.

[C]

They all throw ups green?

[A]

No, no, it was like neon green. And they were all thrown up in the same toilet. I won't name names, but I knew.

[B]

Was that the only toilet available or was it like a bonding experience?

[A]

Both.

[C]

Is it Sad that in 20 years we're going to have grandmas and grandpas who butt chugged anyway?

[A]

Sad is not the word I'd use.

[C]

What would you use?

[A]

Hopeful. Hopeful.

[B]

Sure.

[C]

Here's three more things. You have to tell me what they have in common.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

The Barrier Reef. Alexander of Macedon. Frosted Flakes.

[A]

They're great.

[C]

They're all great. Alexander the Great, the Great Barrier Reef, and Frosted Flakes. Tony the Tiger.

[A]

I'd like to see a scene. Adol. You're Alexander the Great in your home for Thanksgiving. And jpc, you're his brother and you have some thoughts on him being the great title that you do not have.

[C]

And so then we took the horses and flanked them, drove them off a cliff and conquered the land. So that's. I guess that's what I've been up to.

[B]

Oh, cool. Well, the VCR repair business is going really well.

[C]

Oh, good. Good. Yes. Miles, tell me. What? Yeah. How? Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Miles tell me he's in a bunch of movies. And so when I'm. You know, when I go in there, the thing is, people have unspooled the hell out of these things, you know? So it's like, when I go in there, I.

[C]

Sorry. Speaking of unspooled, I found the commander of the great army, and I gutted him and unspooled his intestines in front of his men, which caused them to drop to their knees and surrender. So it was kind of a cool. I'd never done that. And that was kind of a cool way to kind of gain victory.

[B]

You want to see something that makes you drop to your knees? You want to get Spaceballs on vhs. Now that is a movie. I mean, you will. You will. You will die laughing at that.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

So anyway, yeah, a lot of the. And the thing about VCRs, you'd think it's just, like, one type of machine, but no. There's Panasonic.

[A]

Both of my boys home for Thanksgiving. So sweet. Alexander. Oh, my gosh. We missed you so much.

[C]

I brought you the severed head of your enemy.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. I'm gonna cry. You're so good to me. You're so sweet. And you never once asked me for money.

[C]

Mm. Mom.

[B]

Also, good to see you.

[A]

Hi. Yeah, you were here yesterday.

[B]

Yeah. Well, good to see you.

[A]

You ate all my bacon. You made all the bacon.

[B]

Good to see you upstairs, I mean, because I'm usually downstairs for most of the day. I brought you a little something something. Ever seen Galaxy Quest?

[A]

Yep.

[B]

Well, I brought that sort of, I.

[A]

Guess, in my periphery, because you from downstairs.

[B]

I brought that upstairs. Cause you said maybe on Thanksgiving we could watch something upstairs.

[A]

Well, boys, your father's working on the turkey. Everything is falling into place.

[B]

Hey, Alexander could probably do some more work on Turkey if he wanted to do some more conquering.

[A]

Your brother has a lot on his mind right now. We need to all be supporting Alexander.

[B]

Well, he could conquer Turkey, is all I'm saying.

[C]

I captured Constantinople, but then they changed the name.

[A]

They changed the name.

[B]

They also changed the name of the pot edge of tomorrow to live. I repeat.

[A]

Are you drunk?

[C]

What year is it?

[A]

See?

[B]

How dare you See this drunk. I couldn't think of an old movie where they changed the name that was relatively.

[A]

How dare you.

[C]

You know how they sometimes will say the pyramids were built when they were still like woolly mammoths? I do think they should start saying that. Alexander the Great could have watched Spaceballs. Yeah, just to kind of show how.

[A]

To show how crazy history is.

[B]

Yeah. History is so crazy.

[C]

Garden vegetables. A rude child. Rested horses.

[B]

Because, like, Mel Brooks is so old now. They're like, yeah, so old. Mel Brooks and Alexander the Great had, like, three years of crossover. Isn't that crazy?

[C]

New York together. Garden vegetables. A rude child. Rested horses.

[A]

You know what I just realized? If the apocalypse happens and we're the only media that survives in civilization, like, 2,000 years from now, have to piece together what the fuck was happening through this alone, we're fucked.

[C]

We're like the Rosetta stone for future generations.

[B]

I think that they would get six episodes in and be like, it's not really worth figuring out what they had going on. It can't be much better than what we got now.

[A]

Yeah. Let's start from scratch.

[B]

Clean slate. Tabula Rosa. Well rested horses.

[C]

Shoed garden vegetables. A rude child. And I keep wanting to say roasted horses, but it is rested horses.

[B]

Snap peas. Snappies.

[A]

Is it a specific root vegetable, or is it something about root vegetables?

[C]

It's just garden vegetables, I guess. There's nothing specific. It's not a specific vegetable, but I guess it would be, like, out of the garden.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Fresh. Fresh.

[C]

Yes. They're all fresh.

[A]

They're all fresh.

[C]

A rude child, rested horses. Garden vegetables. I do want to see a scene.

[B]

Fresh horses. That's so funny.

[A]

I also do love the word fresh. For someone being a brat, that feels very Massachusetts.

[C]

Y. Yeah, don't get fresh with me, Aaron. I agree. I love fresh as. As someone, like, talking back or something. I hate it when it's used as a food descriptor. Like when someone's like, oh, this tastes so fresh. If that's their only descriptor, it really wears on me.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What about for fish? Cause fish is the only thing that I feel like should be fresh. Mm. Yeah.

[C]

I don't mind fresh fish. It's fun to say.

[B]

Yeah. Fresh fish.

[C]

Fresh fish.

[B]

Catch of the day.

[C]

Is your fish fresh? I do want to see a scene. Let's say that. Aaron, do you want to play a rude Bostonian child? Sure. Okay, so, Aaron, you're going to be a little rude Bostonian fresh child. And jpc, you are an operator of a roller coaster telling this Bostonian kids they can't get on. Is there a Six Flags Boston?

[A]

Yeah, Six Flags New England. It's in western Massachusetts, and that's where you are.

[B]

Pardon me. Pardon me. There's a height requirement.

[A]

Oh, there is. Oh, my God. Thank you so much for letting me know.

[B]

You didn't know about it, but yeah, it's a height. It's a height requirements right on the skid.

[A]

Um, I. I think I'm gonna. Oh, am I gonna listen to this teen boy who looks scared shitless.

[B]

What, me?

[A]

Yeah. Whose arms are so skinny little. Yeah. Am I gonna listen to this guy?

[B]

What does arms. What does arms have to do with it? You're too small.

[A]

Listen to the guy who looks like he goes sailing on a sailboat.

[B]

Hey, his dad. What kind of. What insult is that?

[A]

You look like a yuppie new money idiot.

[B]

Oh, okay. Yeah, well, real, real smart mouthed on you.

[A]

Oh, this guy kicked me me so hard.

[C]

Hey, who's cooking this kid?

[B]

It's Boston. Nobody cares about that.

[C]

Oh, I wouldn't kick a kid.

[B]

Oh, see, now you got a line. Now you got an alternate line going of adults who want to kick a kid because they thought it was okay.

[A]

You look over, I'm gone. I'm wearing sunglasses. I'm at the front of the roller coaster. A diversion, bitch.

[B]

You know, I have to. I have to pull the lever that starts the roller coaster.

[A]

Oh, do you.

[B]

Oh. Oh, God, they used a spell. It's a Boston witch. It's a Boston witch.

[A]

Oh, my God. I'm too little for this ride.

[B]

Who let me go on here. I'm gonna fall out. A witch died today in Boston. Again.

[C]

And a child. And a child. The child fell off a roller coaster.

[B]

Hey, Murray, why don't you read your stories? I'll read my stories.

[C]

Okay. Yeah, sorry.

[A]

When's it my turn? The sock's lost, and I want to cry about it on tv.

[C]

See?

[A]

Oh, I'm so tired.

[B]

A Boston witch is a pastrami sandwich with a layer of racism.

[A]

Yes, and a little bit of clam chowder on top.

[B]

Clam chowder. Pepper.

[C]

What do these things have in common? A mountain. A football. Droopy, droopy pantyhose.

[A]

Tom Brady fucked with all three of these things.

[B]

Tom. New today, Tom Brady fucks with a mountain. A mountain? Droopy dog. No, you just said it like, droopy dog, droopy pants.

[C]

A football, and droopy pantyhose going down.

[A]

They got, like, ridges or layers or.

[C]

Yes, Ruffles and droopy pantyhose both have ridges.

[B]

They can all be stripped. Wait, that's actually something. You could strip a mountain, you could strip a football, and you can strip off some pantyhose.

[C]

I mean, gbc, you're not wrong.

[B]

Well, good. Then I'm right and I relinquish My time.

[A]

I yield my time. Fuck you. Remember how happy we were that week?

[B]

I yield my time. Fuck you. Was there. Suck my dick in there.

[A]

Yeah, suck my dick. I yield my time. Fuck you. Was that the order?

[B]

I think it was that order.

[A]

God, we were so happy back then.

[B]

Well, I got my answer right and it was correct. And I loved it. So, Erin, what's your correct answer?

[A]

Adel, can I have a hint for my answer?

[C]

Yes. So a mountain of football droopy pantyhose. I would say so. Aaron, think of droopy pantyhose. Like if you're on.

[B]

Oh, I think I have another guess.

[A]

A line.

[B]

Do they have white tips?

[C]

What the fuck?

[B]

What the fuck? Doesn't a football have some white on it?

[C]

No, laces can't be white sometimes.

[B]

Like the white tips of the mountain, the snow caps.

[C]

I guess in football betting there's white tips in terms of a white guy giving you the over under a mountain of football. GP pantyhose. Aaron, think of if you're in public and your pantyhose are drooping, what would you do to.

[A]

You pull them up.

[C]

You pull them up? Absolutely. What's another term for pulling up pantyhose?

[A]

Climbing or pants? Hiking. Hiking.

[C]

They're all hiking. Of course.

[A]

Of course. I'd like to see.

[B]

Oh, Aaron, can I ask a question?

[A]

Yeah, of course.

[B]

Do they still sell pantyhose in those eggs? Do you remember the eggs that they sold pantyhose in?

[A]

Oh, I think they did.

[B]

In the 90s.

[A]

Yeah, I think so.

[C]

Does that mean that pantyhose are reptiles?

[B]

Yes, yes.

[A]

They hatch.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

You guys don't know anything about women. I remember those being in, like, CVS and stuff when you'd get pantyhose.

[B]

But they don't do that anymore, right?

[A]

I think they might. Whenever I buy types. I'm a big tights fan. They don't.

[B]

Tennessee.

[A]

Yes, but I haven't seen those. But I think I'm trying to remember. I think they might.

[C]

Weren't they called legs? Like Le G? G? S?

[A]

I don't know.

[C]

Oh, like that was the. That was the brand name. Or that is like one of the brand names.

[B]

That's the pun. Okay. Okay.

[C]

I'm pretty sure that was the name of them.

[A]

I'll look into it. I'd like to see a scene.

[B]

Sure.

[A]

You are. Jpc. You're the guy that does the thing between his legs, passing it to adol.

[B]

I'm sorry, Aaron.

[C]

Magic Mike.

[B]

Aaron, you're gonna have to be so Much more specific.

[A]

In football.

[B]

In football. Thank you.

[C]

Center.

[A]

Huh? That guy?

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[A]

Adel, you're the quarterback, which I assume that's who he's passing it to.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

And, Adel, you're trying to stall because you're really nervous and you don't want him to pass you the ball just yet. But, jpc, you're a little annoyed because you're in crouch position.

[B]

Okay?

[C]

Blue 42. Deborah. Deborah. Fancy pants. Fancy pants. Deborah. Blue. Rome. Rome. 29.

[B]

Hey, what are these?

[C]

What?

[B]

What are these?

[C]

Oh, don't worry about it. Don't worry. It's a new.

[B]

Don't worry.

[C]

I'm trying to get them off. I'm trying to get them off. Sides.

[B]

Hey, Nobody's moving.

[C]

Hey, 48. Your mom. Your mom's not your real mom.

[A]

What?

[C]

Your mom's not your real mom. Huh? Ask. Call her. Ask her. And that one's actually true. I actually. I got drunk with 40.

[B]

All right. Delay of gain.

[C]

Shit. Yeah. Shit. What the hell, man?

[B]

What was the plan? We just. We just. We just lost it down.

[C]

Listen, you know how in the Bible they cut Samson's hair and he lost his strength?

[B]

No, I got him. I'm 22. I've never read a book in my fucking life, man. My life is about football. Listen, don't tell me Bible stories right now. Ugh. I.

[C]

Last night, something happened to me where I feel like I lost it. I can't throw anymore.

[B]

What?

[C]

You know in Rookie of the Year, where at the end he, like, falls and hits his arm and he can't? No.

[B]

I've never watched a movie. From the moment I was born, the only thing I've known was football. Football, football, football, football.

[C]

To not know Rookie of the Year and the Bible. Those are the top two properties. I feel like we should know those inside and out.

[B]

Hey, the top two properties are the properties that my money manager, who was fucking me. Overall.

[A]

Are we just chatting? Can we get back to the game?

[C]

Shut up.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Also, 48's on our team.

[C]

I'm on your team.

[B]

Why are you trash talking our tackles?

[C]

Oh, right. Oh. That's how I know that their mom's not their real mom. Is cuz.

[B]

Yeah. They told you that in confidence.

[A]

I told you that in confidence.

[C]

I'm sorry. Hey, I'm going to throw you the ball, okay?

[A]

Don't tell, Don't tell, don't tell.

[C]

Defense is like 48. Everyone guard, 48.

[A]

48'S about to die.

[C]

Stick to 48. Don't tell. I'll never tell. Here's three things. Tell me what they have in common. The monkeys. The 56 Yankees. Disney World. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Were the 56 Yankees.

[B]

They're all infected with STIs.

[A]

They all have tall tails.

[C]

The Monkees. The 56 Yankees. Disney Royal.

[B]

Is it the monkeys spelled like the band? The Monkees.

[C]

It is. Yeah. Okay, I should have said that, but I think the. I assume the would speak the band.

[A]

Oh, wait, I have something for this. Reaches into pocket. Reaches further into pocket. Adel, for my birthday one year, you gave me an iou, which is. This is good for solving not solving one riddle. So I get to skip this riddle.

[C]

Oh, can I? Yep. That is the coupon I gave you from my coupon book. I panic wrote moments after I remembered it was your birthday.

[B]

And Aaron, do you want to cash in any of the coupons that I gave you?

[A]

Never. I'm scared. I think that will unleash the end times.

[B]

People are so obsessed with back rubs, but the second you offer front rubs, they're like, oh, this is actually crossing a big line.

[A]

You put front in quotes and then rubs in quotes. And not like quotes together. They're two separate, two separately quoted. So, like, what does that mean?

[B]

I get to decide what I think is the front. I think it's a rub. What do you think it means? It's pretty obvious. Davy Jones was a monkey.

[C]

Now you see, you are on a good path.

[B]

Will it involve me knowing any other monkeys names?

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Fuck. My life in two pieces. This is my last resort. Aaron, help me out. Do we know any other monkeys besides Davy Jones?

[A]

I said I didn't. I'm using my iou.

[B]

We're not doing a riddle. I'm just talking to you about the Monkees. The band.

[A]

Hey, we're the Monkeys.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And here's a list of all our names.

[C]

What's that song where they're like, what's that? What's any other monkey song?

[A]

Every time I think of the monkeys, I think of Herman's Hermits. Hermits. Hermits. Hermits. Hermits.

[B]

A Dream believer. Right.

[C]

The Monkeys Are Coming Queen.

[A]

And every time I hear that song, I think of Dawson's Creek.

[B]

Fuck me. I truly. Why would I ever need to know another person from the Monkees? But I feel like with the monkeys, I know Davy Jones. And if I heard someone say the name, another person.

[C]

So you want to think of last name Dolan's.

[B]

Mickey Dolenz.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Is that a person?

[A]

All have Mickeys. They all have Mickey Mantles.

[C]

The Monkees. The 56 Yankees and Disney World all have Mickeys. I do want to see a sing.

[B]

Yeah, Mickey Dolens. I don't think I ever would have gotten that.

[C]

This is going to be maybe back to back episodes with Yankee scenes, but I do want to see a seed. Aaron, you are the manager of the 56 Yankees and you are welcoming your new number one draft pick, Mickey Mouse. JPC or Mickey Mouse.

[A]

Hey, fellas, take a seat. Take a seat, everyone. Yeah, you can smoke in here. Continue to smoke. Yeah. All right, fellas. We haven't won a game in a couple weeks, so I decided to bring in a new player.

[C]

Oh, good, coach. Yeah, coach. Yeah, thanks, coach.

[A]

I'm glad that you have a good attitude about it. This player's gonna bring in a new kind of demographic. Watching it, children. And this player is gonna be a little small, so you have to be careful with him. He loves to whistle.

[C]

Oh, shortstop. Maybe a new shortstop.

[A]

Come on in, Mr. Mouse.

[B]

Oh. Oh. So good to finally meet everyone here.

[C]

Draft dodger.

[A]

Yes. As everyone remembers, Mickey Mouse has recently been in the papers for dodging, I guess recently been in the papers for dodging the World War II draft, which I guess that's coming out way later, but we recently found out.

[B]

Rat.

[C]

Draft dodger.

[B]

Rat. I was just a little boy. Ho ho.

[A]

No. You were a full grown man. You faked an injury and you didn't go fight in World War II.

[B]

Okay. Oh, okay. Oh. So I'm like, I'm like a 30 year old joining a baseball, people.

[A]

I mean, Mickey Mouse was invented in the 20s. So I'm just going by.

[B]

I have a question. Does this count as breaking the color barrier? Because I'm.

[A]

I'm not, I'm not weird that you asked that. Nope. Everybody shut it down. Everyone starts taking apart the lockers.

[B]

Am I, am I a black guy with a white guy's face?

[A]

No. No.

[B]

Am I a black guy doing white face? What am I?

[C]

Jackie Robinson walks in. What the fuck?

[B]

I didn't draw me off.

[A]

Scene, scene, scene.

[C]

I love Mickey Mouse stealing Jackie Robinson's valor.

[A]

Yelling draft dodger at Mickey Mouse is so fucking funny.

[C]

Coward.

[B]

Coward. You have a bunch of other people who are also playing on the Yankees users sensibly. It's fun.

[C]

What if only give their own was all Disney characters. That's fun.

[B]

That's kind of like how they made that Final Fantasy game that was all Disney characters.

[C]

Oh, Kingdom Hearts.

[B]

Kingdom hearts. Yeah. Yeah. We could just do whatever properties we want, but just put Disney in them.

[C]

Does Goofy have like a big Sephiroth sword or something.

[B]

Yes, Goofy has a big Sephiroth Gorsh. I need more materia Gorsh.

[A]

There's no crying in baseball. Well, Goofy peeing into the sink like Tom Hanks does in A League of Their Own.

[C]

Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back with more Goofy. Dee Dee. Dee Dee Dee. Oh, hey, friends. Sorry about all the legs you're seeing. I just became a Rockette.

Adel. Your dream.

[A]

[C]

Oh, that's my couch. And you spilled a lot of Mai Tai on it.

[A]

[C]

Hmm. I feel okay.

[B]

I feel okay. This podcast is sponsored by Squarespace Adol. Aaron. I have made you guys kind of one of my holiday traditions, a website pot pie.

[A]

Ooh, interesting.

[C]

Okay. Got a nice crust. Good bake on this.

[B]

Yes, very good bake. I think that you'll also be able to tell that I have some special seasoning. Let's just say that there's some hyper likes in there.

[A]

Hmm. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

[C]

Ooh.

[A]

Did you use Squarespace when you were making this? I can tell.

[B]

Mm, okay. That would have been smart because Squarespace is the all in one website platform designed to help you stand out and succeed online. No, I kind of made this traditionally in a kitchen with, you know, flour and salt and.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I'm clicking these links and they're not working. So you should have used Squarespace.

[C]

I'm getting a taste. It's so. It's so delicious. I feel like maybe. Is there like, videos in here? Because I know Squarespace makes it easy to showcase your expertise and engage clients with video content on your website. So am I getting a hint of videos?

[B]

Yes and no. I definitely watched videos as I was making it on how to make website pie, and all the videos were like, don't do this. You can't do this. It shouldn't be done. It's against God.

[A]

Well, if you use Squarespace, you can make smarter business decisions with Squarespace's intuitive built in analytics tools. Review website traffic, learn where to focus engagement, and track revenue from bookings, invoices, and product sales all from one place.

[B]

It's interesting that you mentioned that, Aaron, because I actually did use SEO tools to make this website pie. With Squarespace, you can get discovered fast with integrated Squarespace SEO tools. And every website is optimized to be indexed with meta descriptions, an auto generated sitemap, and more. So you show up more often. On search engines and bring in more of your ideal customers. But the SEO tools that I used on this website pie were. And then. Okay, SEO. I got this. I got this. I got this. I got this.

[C]

Cinnamon.

[B]

And we're already out. I messed up big time on this website pie.

[C]

It's delicious, though. I'm going to grab another slice.

[B]

And now for the best part. Who wants to get their stomach pumped?

[C]

Me.

[A]

Me.

[C]

And we're back. And we do have more trios. I'm gonna keep going with these trios.

[B]

Okay, let's do it.

[C]

Please tell me what these three things have in common. Ice cream, a poorly run newspaper, A low throw to first base. Man, a lot of baseball going around. Cold ice cream, a poorly run newspaper. A low throw to first base. Cold is not a terrible guess.

[A]

No spoon. Isn't that like an old newspaper term that I just made up?

[B]

I don't know the baseball term low throw. Does that mean that the person's out or that means it missed that? Well, it wouldn't be a strike because.

[C]

It'S more what the person catching it does to kind of grab it. So say it's a low throw and it maybe bounces along a baseline or something. The person who's orange the ball has to do this to get it.

[A]

Scoop.

[B]

Scoop.

[C]

Yes. They're all scooped. A poorly run newspaper gonna have the news scooped out from underneath them.

[A]

I'd like to see them all through.

[B]

Oh, that's what that means.

[A]

Adol. You run an old timey newsp. And JPC is usually your best reporter, but jpc, you're really spinning your wheels trying to come up with a good story.

[C]

Got it. And, Aaron, will you play my top reporter?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[C]

All hands on deck. All hands on deck. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Please, please mumble. Please mumble. A vegetable. Repeat.

[B]

What's this meeting? What's this? What's the spitting?

[C]

Now, we all know I run an old timey newspaper. Of course, the year is 2025, but we report on news as if it's yesteryear. That's why we're yesteryear news. Rhubarb rub. Gloria.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

What scoop do you have for Me.

[A]

Today I got the scoop of the century. You see?

[C]

Ooh, lights a big cigar.

[A]

Two people in this office knocked boots together last night after they drank too late at the bar. I got my best guy on it. Me, Gloria. I'm gonna crack the story wide open, just like they cracked wide open last night.

[C]

Ooh, 23 skidoo. And of course, we'll pay you 23 cents on the dollar for being a woman.

[A]

I love it.

[C]

Okay, who else? Maguire, do you have a scoop for me?

[A]

Maguire?

[B]

No.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, Maguire, why don't you Scoop.

[C]

Yeah, Rhubarb.

The fire. Open your little notebook and read all the news. Potatoes, potatoes, potatoes.

[B]

Many fires burning right now. Oh, here's a popularity signifier.

[A]

What's. What is that? Are you trying to review a Reese Witherspoon show?

[C]

Reese Witherspoon. Corn, Corn, Corn, Corn, Corn, Corn, corn.

[B]

Is that a morning show reference?

[A]

No, like, doesn't she. Little fires. Lots of little fires everywhere.

[C]

Little fires everywhere. The book by. What is it, Celeste Ng.

[A]

I'm sorry, Maguire, I interrupted you. I bet you have all sorts of great scoops.

[B]

So there is on the wall a clock shortage happening. There's a clock shortage happening on the Great Wall of China. So that's pretty.

[A]

The wire didn't prepare.

[B]

No, I did, I did, I did. That's just one of the mini scoops that I have kicking around in my. My notebook.

[A]

There's one of the people knocking boots last night and cracking open. That's why he wasn't ready.

[C]

Tomato. Tomatoes.

[A]

Tomatoes. Tomatoes. Tomatoes.

[C]

Tomatoes. Question.

[A]

Tomato.

[B]

Stop saying stuff like that. I just wrote down tomatoes, question mark. You're getting in my head.

[C]

So, Maguire, what you leading me to believe is that I'm supposed to run a front page that says both two employees knock boots and also clock shortage on the Great Wall of China. We'll be laughed out of town.

[B]

Not necessarily that. I've got a lot of news. There's also the water cooler you're looking.

[A]

Around the room through.

[B]

Well, yes, I'm talking to. I'm addressing the entire room. You didn't let me speak.

[A]

You're backing up slowly. Maguire, where are you going?

[C]

Kaiser Shisei Kaiso Shozei.

[B]

Well, I'm a reporter.

[A]

It's not happy hour.

[B]

I gotta go put boots to the pavement and make sure I'm chasing down my leads.

[A]

Your boots are hitting the pavement after hitting the bed last night.

[C]

Oh, you fucked Steven Malkmus.

[B]

All right, hold on now, hold on now. The water cooler shortage on the Great Wall of China is going into effect.

[A]

Maguire and I slept together last night and I've got the scoop.

[C]

Oh, gee Louise.

[B]

Oh, just please don't tell my wife. Either of them. In different cities. You see, I know it's 2025, but I figured I'd do a little callback to having two families.

[A]

Well, I'm making 23 cents to the dollar, so.

[B]

Hey, that's fucked.

[C]

See? Hey, that's fucked.

[B]

Hey, that's fucked.

[C]

Hey, hey, that's fucked.

[B]

Did they say that's fucked in the old times? Do you think that they said that in the twenties?

[A]

I think so.

[C]

In their own way, probably.

[B]

In their own way, yeah.

[C]

I'd be curious to know when curse words, like what curse words were commonplace during what eras.

[A]

That's why it's so trippy seeing the old timey bloopers. Cause it's like these black and white movies and they're like, I'll tell you something about this Mr. Ah, fuck, shoot, we'll have to take that take again.

[B]

And you're like, whoa, whoa.

[C]

Pissing my ass.

[B]

Well, I know that they were saying fuck because I've. I've seen Deadwood and like Deadwood is in like the 18th century.

[A]

Maybe that's a teeny or 17th century.

[B]

Yeah, but they go Deadwood takes a special care to used like the vernacular of the time. Which is why you can't understand a word that's being said in that fucking show.

[C]

I'm going to read you a list of old fashioned swears.

[A]

I love it.

[C]

Consarn sard bedswerver.

[A]

Also sorry if any of these are crazy offensive be jabbers.

[C]

This is my favorite one. Be jabbers. B E J A B B E R S Bejabbers. Fop doodle.

[B]

Do you. All right, I know you still can't call somebody a fop. Do you call someone a bejabbers or do you say what the Bejabbers.

[A]

Another way of saying bejesus. I say bejesus and you say bajabbers.

[C]

I take for by Jesus, that is similar to bejesus.

[B]

This feels like a zwounds or something like that where you're like zounds.

[C]

You can't say God's wounds, thunderation. Ar farfinarf, ar farfanarf. Arf, arf, A n apostrophe arf, arf, arf, and arf.

[A]

Every dog listening to this podcast was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't say that.

[B]

Every dog. Siri just went off.

[C]

Yeah, every dog begins with arf. This may sound like a strange approximation of a dog barking, but it's a real word. It's actually a Victorian slang term to call someone who's drunk. Arf, arf, and arf. Corn, nuts. Gadzooks. Snails, muck, spout.

[A]

Gadzooks is a blast.

[C]

Bloody Nora. Dagnamic.

[B]

Gosh, I love bloody Nora. A child getting sent home from his, like, one room schoolhouse for saying, like, snarf or whatever. You can't say mud spout in class.

[A]

Oh, it's British. Bloody Nora is British.

[C]

These are all very good.

[B]

Well, I mean, as you know, as far as old timey things go, you can't really have something like too old timey here in America. We don't really have that deep a history.

[C]

That deep a bench. Aaron, you mentioning old timey movies made me think of this. And I know she's not old timey old timey, but she's from a bygone era. I saw a thing last night that Uma Thurman.

[B]

Who's the most offensive person?

[C]

Any Hollywood actress Over 50 from a bygone era, please.

[B]

Over 40, please.

[C]

I always want to say Agatha Christie. Who's the woman who was the teapot in Beauty and the Beast?

[A]

Angela Lansbury.

[C]

Angela Lansbury.

[B]

Fuck.

[C]

I always want to call her Agatha Christie. I didn't know Angela Lansbury. And I saw this last night that she had two kids.

[A]

Oh, you did your gossip voice. I can't fucking wait. You went a little lower.

[C]

She had two kids and they were running with a bad crew. And she was like, my kids are in with this bad crew, and I can't have them being around these people. And so she quit Hollywood for like a year to move to Cork, Ireland to help get her kids removed from this bad crew of people. And it turned out that they were in the Manson family.

[A]

Oh, that is. That actually would make for a great movie.

[C]

So she saved her kids from being like a part of the Manson family.

[A]

That's incredible. Good for her.

[B]

How would they get to play Angela Lansbury, though? Aaron the teapot.

[A]

Tell it all this time. Wait, watch your rush. Watch your heart rate. You gave me such a right. I could do it. I could be Angela. You'd have to punch me in the throat. And do you think make me 80 billion percent more charming.

[B]

Do you think that when the Manson family shit went down, do you think Angela Lansbury was like, well fucking told.

[C]

Herself well smacked her kids clean across the mouth.

[B]

She's like, you're fucking welcome by the way that you're not.

[A]

I bet you dukes for stabbing some.

[B]

Squares in the Hollywood hills, you're welcome.

[C]

You goofy are farfanars. I think where my wire. I think I just realized where my wires cross is Angela Lansbury was in Murder She Wrote.

[B]

Yes.

[C]

And when I see the words murder and then she wrote, I think of Agatha Christie because she wrote murders.

[A]

Yes. This is a great self diagnosis of you sort of going into your own brain and figuring out why everything is where it is.

[C]

What else is going on up there? I just traced the wires. Should I cut it?

[A]

Don't cut the red wire.

[C]

Pliers up the nose, Adolf. I told Snap.

[B]

I told Adol this, that whenever Tony Shalhoub gets mentioned. Adol. What do you always say when Tony Shalhoub gets mentioned?

[C]

It's not what I say, it's what I must say.

[B]

It's what you must say.

[C]

It's a compulsion.

[B]

Erin, will you solve the puzzle?

[A]

He's the something. He's something Al Pacino.

[B]

No, he's the Lebanese De Niro.

[A]

De Niro.

[B]

Adam always says Lebanese De Niro when he gets mentioned that he's the Lebanese De Niro, but I always forget the nationality and the actor. So whenever, like someone mentions Tony Shalhoub in my mind I'm always like, oh, he's the Armenian Pacino.

[C]

He's Serbian Hackman.

[B]

I honestly, I think I was talking to someone the other day and I think I did see Serbia. Gina.

[C]

I also, anytime someone mentions Neil Diamond, I simply must say Jewish Elvis, because that's what he was known as, was Jewish Elvis.

[B]

Is he no longer with us?

[C]

Did he.

[B]

Jewish Elvis has left the building and.

[A]

Sorry, I do sometimes think we cause celebrity deaths on the show. So let's tread lightly.

[C]

Whoa. Yeah, we did with Nick Carter. Did we?

[A]

Aaron Carter.

[C]

Aaron Carter, we said, well, now with Nick Carter.

[A]

Now he just kills another Carter.

[B]

We've killed Jimmy Carter. We've killed Nick Carter.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

I hope we don't kill Shalhoub. No, no, no, no, no.

[C]

That would be a shame.

[B]

Although he's in that new Shane Black movie and it's none too good.

[C]

Oh, really?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

He deserves that place. He's Tony Shalhoub.

[C]

He's the Shub. Did Shane Black write it or just directed it?

[B]

He wrote it and directed it.

[C]

Cause I love a Shane Black script.

[B]

I thought I did too. I think like a lot of men of his age in Hollywood, he's kind of maybe lost a little bit of his magic.

[C]

Sure, sure. Aaron, have you seen the nice guys yet?

[A]

Yes, I think it's fantastic.

[C]

I love you so much.

[A]

It's so good.

[C]

Here's three things. You tell me what they have in common. An ancient harp, someone committing perjury, the boy who cried wolf.

[A]

Angels.

[B]

These are all people who are kind of plucky.

[C]

Ooh, okay. I like that a lot. An ancient harp, someone committing perjury, the boy who cried wolf. Now, the ancient harp, is it strung up? Not strung up. An ancient harp is the one that's gonna trip you up a little bit because it's spelled differently than the other two. The other two are spelled the same, but ancient harp is spelled a different way. And that might cause like a bit of a. An ancient man.

[B]

Okay, so the boy who cried wolf is a liar. It's a liar.

[C]

They're all liars.

[B]

They're all liars.

[A]

That's a good one.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I do want to see a scene. Aaron, you and I are. Sorry, jpc, you and I are townsfolk. And Aaron, you are running in to tell us it's sort of a boy who cried wolf situation, but it's your own spin on it. And so I said to Margaret, I said, well, why don't you set down the grain and we can sit and have a.

[A]

Go home, you guys.

[B]

It's the shepherd's boy. Well, shepherd's boy, welcome.

[A]

Um, you guys are not gonna freaking believe this.

[C]

Freaking. Well, you. You must tell your father about this.

[B]

Mud spigot. Language.

[C]

10 stones on your head.

[A]

No, no, no. Gadzooks. Gadzooks. Oh, I just got robbed on the edge of town. Oh, no.

[B]

I'm a robber on the edge of town.

[C]

A robber on. Oh, bandits.

[A]

Yes, there are bandits. And I got robbed and I have no more money. And then the robbers told everyone from the casino to come after me for no reason. Oh my gosh. What are we gonna do as a town to fix this? We're all in this together.

[B]

Guys, let me, let me, let me break down the situation. You were robbed?

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And then the robbers went to the casino?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And what do they tell them?

[A]

Uh huh. They went to the casino and they said, hey, take care of this asshole for us. Pretend he owes you a ton of money.

[C]

And this is why I voted no on the village casino. We have a baker, a table, a.

[B]

Shepherd, and you Are fucking out.

[A]

And now we're living in this reality. So what are we going to do as a town?

[B]

Because people like to wind down. That's why we have it.

[C]

So just so I'm a bad idea.

[B]

The chain of events was. They robbed you.

[A]

Uh huh.

[B]

Then they went to the casino.

[A]

Big time.

[B]

Then they told the casino to pretend like you owed the casino a lot of money.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So how does that have anything to do with the robbing you?

[A]

Because they really want people to come after me. So I can't stop them. They think I'm too strong. And I can bring down all the bandits that robbed me. And you guys, I know I talk in the cadence of a liar. But this is all really fucking true. This is really true what I'm saying.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

I haven't had a gambling problem in like four years.

[B]

So. And so it's the town's problem. Because you're the only one who can stop the bandits.

[A]

I'm the only one that can stop the bandits. So we can't let these casino guys trick all of us into thinking I owe money.

[C]

Can I just say my piece? That I used to be a butcher until the casino came to the village and started offering Wednesday $1 steaks.

[A]

You got out voted. You got outvoted.

[B]

Just saying the steaks at the casino taste just like yours. If not better. Rick. Okay.

[A]

Not better.

[C]

$1 steaks. That's insane. I couldn't compete with that.

[A]

You guys, it's the perfect plan.

[B]

You could have opened a casino. Hold on. Rick. You could have opened a casino at your butcher shop. I did.

[C]

And you guys said no gambling.

[A]

They're gonna be here any second. I think we need to focus. It's the perfect plan. Because they know everyone thinks I have a gambling problem. And they know that I've used this exact excuse before. Right?

[B]

Oh, that's right. Yes. Wasn't this what happened last week?

[A]

Yes, but I lied last week. And then they were like. But this time. This time they won't be believed.

[B]

So now last week they broke your legs, right?

[A]

Uh huh. But last week. But this time it's real. Don't you see? It's the perfect crime. Don't you see?

[B]

Who is it? The perfect crime.

[A]

The bandits are gonna be unstoppable. I'm the only ones that can. You know, I went over this. I'm the only one that can stop the bandits. They're working with the guys from the casino. They work together. We're all cooked.

[B]

And Rick, we all came to your casino. It just it was so poorly run that you lost. I don't know.

[A]

We can't be talking about Rick's thing right now because my thing is dangerous.

[B]

Oh, Rick's thing is dangerous. He's got a wife and kids.

[A]

Yeah, but it's like starving. It's like slow drip dangerous. Hold on, hold on.

[B]

How this. The one thing you should have is food. You have a butcher shop?

[C]

No, it all spoiled. And I refused to let them eat the $1 steaks on Wednesdays at the casino.

[B]

Well, I mean, you said this last week. We had this. Rick and I had this same conversation last week.

[C]

My wife and kid are dead.

[B]

Here's what we do.

[A]

What?

[C]

My wife and kid are dead.

[B]

See?

[C]

Oh, they're all liars. The LA Freeway. The NBA slam dunk contest and a door. The LA Freeway. NBA dunks. The NBA slam dunk contest and a door.

[B]

They're all hard to get off of from.

[A]

Not with that attitude.

[B]

Oh, constant slams.

[C]

Ooh, you're very close.

[B]

Jams. Jams. Jams.

[C]

Jams.

[B]

You call it Dunk. A jam, right? NBA Jams. Yeah.

[C]

The nail in the coffin. You ever play that game Aaron from downtown? He's on fire.

[B]

He's on fire. He's heating up.

[A]

I'm not familiar with this.

[C]

You've never played NBA Jam by Midway games?

[A]

No.

[B]

Aaron, NBA Jams was a early basketball game with, I want to say, almost impossible levels of physics. Like, I remember you could, like, dribble three times and be across the court. And you're like, I think that might be wrong.

[C]

You could dump from the free throw line up the other side of the court.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Like 93.

[A]

Oh. Like early. Okay.

[B]

There was also a. There was also a game for. I think it was for N64. There may have been earlier versions called NFL Blitz. And an NFL Blitz. It was. It was Immigrant Jams, basically, but for football. But you would tackle someone and then they would go like 15 yards. And you're like, okay, so I guess that's the first downline now, like, dead. How did they get tackled for 15 yards?

[C]

Aaron, in NBA Jam, when you. If you made three shots in a row, you would catch on fire. They'd say, he's on fire. And you would literally have flames around you. And then you fly. And then you could, like, fire. You could, like, do a lot. A lot more things.

[B]

You were, like, supercharged. And then if you, like, dunked it and shit, like, the rim would catch on fire, too. Like, the net would catch on fire.

[C]

It was a real problem.

[A]

And this is Like a dumb question, but that doesn't happen in real life, right?

[B]

Well, let me answer a dumb question with a dumb response. Aaron, you could also be an alien in this game as well. Oh, yeah. Like one of those, like, long grays. You could, like, make your character that.

[A]

Has this game made a comeback in any way. Is it like back in the Zeitgeist or is it just.

[C]

They released a version for iOS that I downloaded at some point, so I feel like it's still in the Zeitgeist.

[B]

I think it was supplanted by the. More like the EA Sports basketball games. The ones that come out every year, basically. Yeah.

[A]

Right. Is there a video game that you guys are the most nostalgic for? Like, you'd give anything to me. Play it for the first time or have it back in a new iteration.

[C]

Maybe like bubble Bobble. Like, there's something. Have you ever played that?

[A]

No.

[C]

There's something so gentle and satisfying about. So you're basically two little cutesy dinosaurs. So you play with a. You play with a partner. You have to. You don't have to play two player, but you should play two player. And there's like 99 levels at every level. You're like a little dinosaur dragon. And you open your mouth and a bubble comes out and you can catch bad guys or catch prizes, whatever you want. It's so cute. It was like my first love in video games.

[A]

What. What was that on the Nintendo or Super Nintendo?

[C]

I don't want to say. I don't want to. I don't want to date myself.

[A]

It was on Nintendo. Let's take the duck hunt out and then let's blow in it and hit it a bunch of times with a baseball bat so we could play the next video game.

[B]

Adult. Did you ever play the. The video game? I think it was called Lemmings. It was like a PC video.

[C]

I played the computer game. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That was a blast.

[B]

Yeah. Like, the whole point was that, like, lemmings will. Is this even true of lemmings? But, like, lemmings will, like, follow each other off cliffs and stuff.

[C]

Yeah, that was a rumor. I don't even know what a lemming is. Like a mink.

[B]

I remember that game was tons of fun. And then there was also the game. Was it where you would be like earthworms and you would, like, shoot, like, rockets at each other? What the fuck was that?

[A]

Doesn't even sound familiar to me. Worms.

[B]

Worms.

[C]

Worms. That was a great game.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Also Earthworm Jim was a great game.

[B]

These are all games that I would, like, have nostalgia for, but if I ever played them today, I'd be like, this is a huge piece of shit. This thing does not work at all.

[C]

So frustrating how slow it is. Aaron, do you have a game like that?

[A]

I mean, I would love. I mean, you know how I feel about Banjo Tooie. Not Kazooie Tooie specifically. And them returning to that ip, I think would be exciting. But I don't.

[C]

Hawk Tooie, maybe.

[A]

Oh, my God, Take all my money.

[B]

If we're talking about IP that I would love to be rebooted. When I was a kid, I loved Mavis Beacon teaches typing. And I would love for Mavis Beacon to teach other things too. Not necessarily sexual, but I wouldn't.

[A]

You're not ruling it out?

[B]

I'm not ruling it out. If Mavis Beacon wants to be a little freaky.

[A]

Mavis Beacon teaches aftercare.

[B]

But I would like to see a series of. Mavis Beacon teaches. Mavis Beacon teaches Jump rope. Jump rope. Yeah.

[C]

Mavis Beacon teaches Freakin on the Weeknd.

[B]

Yeah. Mavis Beacon teaches souffle.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[B]

She can teach everything.

[A]

I'm in.

[C]

I'm in. Let's do.

[A]

It's the first time we've ever agreed on something and it felt so strange.

[C]

That was so weird. My body was like. I don't know where to go from here.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

Let's do one more of these. I'm going to say multi level marketing King Tut. The back of a $1 bill.

[A]

A pyramid.

[C]

They all have pyramids.

[B]

Pyramids. Yes.

[C]

I do want to see a scene.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Jpc, you are a multi level marketing schemester and you're trying to sell Aaron. You're trying to initiate her into your mlm.

[B]

Yeah. So this is the entire suite of products.

[A]

Sorry, I was just trying to order a tequila soda at the bar.

[B]

Oh, I thought you were checking out my side display here of my suite of products.

[A]

No, sorry. Oh, we went to high school together. I remember you. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. I didn't recognize you because I look so young.

[A]

You look like you're wearing a lot of makeup and that your skin is sort of taped up behind your ears.

[B]

Yes, yes, yes. And isn't that. And isn't that kind of what the display kind of is all about?

[A]

Hey, man.

[B]

Can I. He's looking young.

[A]

Can I buy you a drink? Are you okay? Maybe a meal?

[B]

I'm working right now at the bar, but I'm also kind of working on kind of this array of products in this display you know what? You look so familiar to me.

[A]

Yeah, we went to high school together. You don't have to do this part of it.

[B]

You would be so good because you have one of those faces. I think you would be so good at direct, in person sales.

[A]

We carpooled together, Jeffrey. To school. Most days. No, most days to school.

[B]

Because I was going to say, man.

[A]

You don't have to do this.

[B]

The company actually gave me a car.

[A]

My family actually.

[B]

Purple Cadillac.

[A]

No one wants that. My family actually pulled me out of an MLM like, three years ago, and.

[B]

I. Oh, so your time is free. You're open? No, I open to new opportunities.

[A]

I'm going to be able to be.

[B]

In the country that you love. Entrepreneurship, and you're open to new opportunities.

[A]

Hey, are they here?

[B]

Oh, the products?

[A]

No, no, no. The products.

[B]

The array of products here. But they're in my garage. And they could be in your garage, too. In every garage throughout America. And I'm not blinking at all.

[A]

You're blinking so much.

[B]

Am I? Am I blinking so much?

[A]

All right, indicate where they are in the room and I'm going to talk to them.

[B]

Okay. Oh, so you would like to talk to kind of my up channel in the company to see about more exploring, more opportunities.

[A]

Yeah. But, man, can you do me a favor? I'm really susceptible to this stuff, so sure if I start.

[B]

Obviously fucking not, because I've been giving you my A game and I'm getting nothing.

[A]

What are you talking about? Your fly's down, your shirt's unbuttoned. Yeah, covered in brace.

[B]

I have my shirt tucked through the fly. Yeah, because it catches the pits.

[C]

A cloaked man walks by, sits down a briefcase, opens it up, walks away. Briefcase has an intercom system in it. You wanted to talk?

[A]

Is this him?

[C]

This is him.

[B]

I've never seen this briefcase in my life.

[A]

Hey.

[C]

Hey.

[A]

Is this a purple Cadillac? What are you. A purple Cadillac that can talk?

[B]

I lied about that. I lied about that.

[A]

Oh, no. I look stupid.

[C]

Man, you look familiar.

[A]

Oh, my God. We went to high school together.

[C]

We went to high school together.

[B]

Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my gosh. Briefcase. How are you? Good. See, I went to high school with a talking briefcase and now he just happens to be at this bar. That's so crazy.

[C]

I figure anyone who's the head of a MLM is someone who would communicate in sort of a mission impossible way. Someone just sets down a briefcase and opens it, and you talk to them like Charlie. Charlie's Angels.

[B]

It is so, like, terrifying and sad. How much like of the economy is just MLMs. Like how much of the side hustle economy is just people and MLMs.

[A]

It's also so devastating because it's so predatory to women and like young women and stay at home moms and it's just so cruel that when you're trying.

[B]

Patreon.com heyviriddleviddle 5 bucks a month you get the bonus show. 8 bucks a month you get the review crew. And I would like to also do a shout out to a five star review. If you want to get a five star review featured on the show, just leave a five star review. Anywhere you leave reviews I might find it. Hey, I found one today from Barely Sushi. Barelysushi writes a podcast for trying times. Hey Weird Alberto is a podcast that is perfect for cheering yourself up during trying times through pandemics, death of parents, even divorces. Listening to Aaron Adle and JPC really helps make me smile and put things in perspective. Sure bad things are happening in life, but at least you're not on a riddle improv podcast. Things could always be worse if you could be stuck forever with these three. At least you can turn off an episode and walk away. These poor sobs have to go through every single second of Every single episode. 5 stars. Highly recommend.
