Tone & Style Snapshot

Irreverent, quick-witted, and digressive:

• Riddle-solving is often the setup for improvisational comedy, tangents, and in-jokes.
• The group plays fast and loose with facts, pivots quickly from solution to spontaneous scenes (e.g., “penis breath” jokes or onion HR disaster).
• Guests (like Sandy) both torment and delight the hosts with puns and forced wordplay.

---

For New Listeners

This episode is classic “Hey Riddle Riddle”:

• Actual riddles and puzzles—some clever, some groan-worthy
• Goofball scenes and character bits spun from riddle premises
• Playful, sometimes layered references (expect to hear a lot of meta-commentary and callbacks!)
• If you don’t love puns or tangents, brace yourself—but if you do, you’re in for a treat.

Aaron, I actually have some great news for the two of you.

[B]

Oh, finally. Okay.

[C]

Kind of a change of pace, I guess.

[A]

It's actually great news for. For me. I don't know necessarily if it as much as greatness for the two of you.

[C]

I don't know. Rising tide lifts all hosts.

[A]

Yeah, now that I'm thinking about your response and the news that I have to share now, I'm a little worried that it's gonna be more that you're mad at me.

[C]

No, I'm sure.

[A]

I'm sure it's for saying the whole great news thing. It's not even really news.

[C]

Huh? Go ahead and say it real fast. Just.

[B]

So is this like a good news, bad news situation? Because maybe you could start with the better news, and then you can give us your news that puts me on the spot.

[A]

Let's see. Better news. Okay, that shouldn't be too hard. Let me just look at news real quick. Okay. No, no, no, no, no. All right, we're gonna scrap. Better news. I could do. Here's what I could do. I could do worse news than the thing I was gonna say.

[B]

Worse news.

[A]

Okay, let's see. Worse news. No. Oh, no, no. Ooh. No, no, no, no, no.

[B]

Can you say something that will rise all hosts.

[A]

Now we're back to that. Huh? Huh?

[B]

We thought that maybe you could say something that would make all three of us feel better. We could all care about the same thing, hypothetically, right?

[C]

Yeah, I think that works.

[A]

Here's more. What I'll say. I'll just say what I was gonna say, and then everybody could just. We could just move the fuck on from it.

[B]

All right. But it sort of feels like you're starting the episode maybe on a foot that is negative for Adol and I. And so you'll be in a good mood, and then we'll be in a bad mood.

[A]

Here's the thing. I feel I have had a cold that's been, like, lingering for a week, so I'm already in a bad mood. So it's like we don't have to worry about mood kind of across. It seems like we're all gonna be on an even playing field when it comes to mood.

[D]

Sure.

[B]

How about you tell us the news and then you'll tell Adol something that'll make him feel better, and then me something that'll make me feel better.

[C]

Oh, yeah, like password. I'll pass it down.

[A]

Oh, I'm not gonna tell you one of my passwords. Oh, you want me to share? Adol's always asking me to share my passwords. Just one Hulu and espn, my man.

[C]

Give me a number.

[A]

I think I've told you guys this before, but I've been on the side of that. The Paramount plus app is the worst fucking streamer. It's like the worst streamer. And I told Mariah I was like, we gotta stop paying for Paramount Plus. It sucks. It crashes all the time. And Mariah was like, we don't pay for Paramount plus. We share it with six other people. And it's always crashing because whenever someone is trying to watch it, we're like, I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, that makes more sense. It makes more sense.

[C]

Doctor, heal thyself.

[A]

Um, well, anyway, the news was I was talking with Mariah the other night, and I have been working under maybe the incorrect assumption that I have been 37 all year, but Mariah was like. Cause I just had my birthday yesterday. Mariah was like, you're turning 37? And I was like, no, I am 37. She was like, no, you have a December birthday. You always do this. And I feel like. I feel like December birthdays. And, Aaron, maybe you can relate a little bit, but, like, end of the year birthdays kind of fuck you over because all of your friends who are the same age as you, they're like, already. They have already turned that age, and then it gets to December, and I forget. So the good news is I'm now 37, and I haven't been 37 all year.

[B]

And you're in charge of our finances. Honestly, just quick reminder one, did you off.

[A]

When it comes to finances, that's not actually.

[B]

I don't know, I feel like a stroke of the pen can change nations or whatever the fuck that.

[C]

Yeah. Doctor Spreadsheets over here. This is a little. Well, I will say it's kind of fun to gain a year of your life back. That's not many people experience that.

[A]

I know. I feel like I basically get to live 37 twice.

[C]

It's like a reverse coma. Can I say that Kasey beeped that out?

[A]

Yeah. Casey beeped that out.

[B]

When you say reverse and then there's a beep, I feel like people sound way worse. GBC. Well, now you're going to live 37 twice.

[A]

Yeah, I'm going to get.

[B]

Just bump the age. Just say you're 38.

[A]

I should just be 38. I feel like it's just easier. I'm closer to 40, which is good because once the year is 8 and my birth year is 8, once we get to 20, 28, that's icing on the cake, baby. I'll never forget then, because I can do that tens math easily.

[C]

Oh, you'll be in lockstep.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, yeah, I mean, I guess basically what I'll try to do is I'll just try to live this next year of my life. Moss. Now, speaking of living Moss, this brings us. I don't know about it. No, Aaron, surprisingly, it's not about you. This brings us to a little picture that we got sent in the group chat a few days ago.

[B]

This is exactly what I don't want to talk About. I'm literally going to throw up down my chest. It looks so gross.

[C]

Oh, this is Rob Schneider doing his De Niro impression.

[A]

Yes. Okay. That was something that Aaron Sid does. I have nipples, Greg. Can you milk me? And then one thing Rob Schneider knows, milking nipples. Thank you. I was trying to do goat boy, but that's Jim Brewer.

[B]

Do you want to say what monstrosity you texted to us?

[C]

Yeah, this is something I thought possibly we could. Well, jbc, do you want to mention what you threw in the group chat for us?

[B]

Yeah. This is actually important context because I.

[C]

Think this was a domino effect.

[A]

Was this in response to that?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Okay. So I have had, occasionally I'll have to drive north and I'll drive by Rosemont and I will see a big billboard for this. And I've seen this billboard, I think every year because I think he always comes around the same time every year and it's always in December, which is my birthday month. But for review crew, I wanted us to all go and see a live Jeff Dunham puppet show in Rosemont. Now, if you're not familiar with Jeff Dunham, good. But if you are familiar with Jeff Dunham, it's like, it's, he's, he does ventriloquism, but also like famously he has like a very racist, like dead Arab puppet. Dead terrorist is what he calls him.

[C]

A very racist jalapeno. A very racist. A lot of things.

[A]

It's just, it's, it's like right wing puppetry. And I was like, that would make, I would be, it would be so funny for me to make you guys have to endure that with us and Casey probably as well for a review crew. But this year I finally was like, I'll get ahead of it. I'll check the tickets. I'll get some tickets. Check the tickets. Tickets were the cheapest. Seats were $140. And I was like, diabolical. Unreal. Unreal that that man can get off that people are paying that.

[C]

Yeah, I mean, I would have thought he would be like playing Hammond, Indiana at the Horseshoe. And tickets were free if you put down 20 bucks on blackjack or something. Like that's where I thought his career was at.

[A]

Well, it's not. He is apparently touring and he's hitting the all state, you know, stadium in Rosemont where I saw Weezer play.

[B]

Stadium.

[A]

It's, well, it's. Adel, you've been to that, that venue in Rosemont, right? I don't know what kind of All State arena. I think right it's an arena. It's not a. I guess I don't know the difference between arena and stadium.

[C]

I don't know how many stadium's open air.

[A]

No, maybe I don't know how many it sits. But it's like where you would see like a basketball game be played. It's big.

[C]

They do the minor league hockey team plays. There are also a lot of WCW and wrestling events and stuff like that.

[B]

It's up to 22,000 people now.

[A]

Sometimes what they do for shows like this is they'll just close off the upper balcony. Jeff Dunham's not selling 22,000 tickets. But I, you know, he. He'll sell enough that they can cram people in. And also I've bought tickets to that venue before where you buy. I buy like a bad ticket and then you show up and they're like, you can kind of sit in the front if you want. Like, we didn't, we didn't sell the good tickets.

[C]

Could you imagine having a 400 level seat for a puppet show? For a live puppet show?

[A]

I mean, so anyway, we're not gonna do. That's funny. There is a lot. There's actually not that much that I would pay for a bit. But like $100 is. And to give $100 to Jeff Dunham as well, I'm like, I don't want.

[B]

To give him that kind of money.

[C]

Plus we get sucked into the amazing merch. I'm sure he has. But then in response to that, I said, surely there's other stuff we can review. And then I sent a picture of the brand new. And this is real. This is a real thing. I've seen people reviewing it. This is the Taco Bell Baja Blast Pie. It's a baked pie filled with what looks like baked to be expired Colgate. And I've seen mixed reviews. I've seen people say it's delicious. And I've seen people spit it out and throw the pie away and say this is the worst thing they've ever eaten.

[A]

I thought when you sent that picture Adol, I thought you had purchased this. I thought we were about to hear you give your review of the Taco Bell Baja Blast Pie. But do you know, is it one of these, like, because Taco Bell does this. Is it like a test market item? Is it only like in like St. Louis and shit, or is it nationwide? Can you get it anywhere?

[C]

I haven't checked, but Casey's typing.

[A]

Casey's.

[C]

I will be checking. Uh oh, Casey said, I'm pissed.

[A]

Casey Said, I'm pissed. Whatever the context for that is, we can't know. We can't know why. What about this situation pisses him off now?

[C]

Has there ever been a beverage turned into a pie before?

[A]

Has there ever been a beverage turned into a pie? Who's all been puzzled?

[B]

Um, no. Right.

[A]

No, there. There surely has been, because I've had a. Okay, this is not the same, I admit, but I bet there's a place where you can get, like, Dr. Pepper Pie.

[B]

Yeah, probably.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, also, they will often do cocktails turn into pies. Says the Internet.

[A]

That makes sense.

[B]

Like Negronis or. Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Okay, Okay. I just googled Baja Blast Pie to see if it's nationwide, and the first article I see is from the New York Post that says, taco Bell's new Mountain Dew Baja Blast pie horrif. Customers quote, chernobyl cheesecake.

[B]

Yikes.

[A]

So here's the thing. Not that the New York Post doesn't do great journalism, because I believe that they do. But so much of, like, writing now, I won't even call it journalism, because that's not. What the New York Post does is just like searching for tweets where people said something and then putting that in their headline. Like, someone tweeted Chernobyl cheesecake. And, you know, to be funny. And then the New York Post is like, that's our headline. And I'm like, this seems like. It seems like we're in a downward cycle here. Right? We're starting to.

[B]

Somebody said something, so everybody feels that way, and it's news.

[C]

Yeah. It says nationwide.

[A]

Okay, so jbc.

[C]

You probably got one of these for your birthday.

[A]

That sucks. That.

[B]

He probably ate the whole thing. Huh?

[C]

He probably ate the whole thing.

[A]

If you told me that it was a Baja Blast cheesecake, I think I'd be way more interested in that than, like, a Baja Blast baked pie.

[C]

Yes. Because these pies, when I've seen people review these, they look like. Did you guys watch Double Dare growing up at all? They look like the Double Dare pies where it's like, there's no. If you turn this thing upside down, the crust is staying, and the middle is just. It's like Nickelodeon gacking.

[B]

See, this is why I. This is why I said I was gonna get nauseous. I knew we were careening towards this.

[A]

Oh. Oh. I do have good news.

[B]

So I don't believe you.

[A]

No, this is actual good news that you guys are both gonna love. Do you remember the last time that I was Old Man Puzzles? I had, like, an Orange book of riddles. And we did riddles out of them and they were very hard to comprehend and no one had a good time with them.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yes, well, I was planning to do at least one more of those riddles on the episode today, but that book is now under two different things on my desk. That would take me a couple of seconds to move around. I'd have to like re jostle all acquaintance.

[C]

He forgot a very Christmas same joke. Sort of simply having a wonderful riddle time.

[A]

So we're not gonna do that unless. Unless we run out of other riddles and then I'll have to. I'll have to rejoicle. Maybe it's under even three things. Wouldn't that be something? So we're gonna do some listener submitted riddles. This first one is coming to us from bin in Australia. Okay. He ben lists the place in Australia where it's from. Aaron, I think you're the only one who may be qualified to like pronounce this. What do we.

[B]

Oh my gosh, I don't know.

[A]

What are we thinking? That that word is War?

[C]

Membol?

[B]

Warnam. Bull. Warnable.

[A]

Warnam. Warnable.

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

My favorite Morning, Bill. My favorite place I went to in Australia was, I think it was a park called Tidbidbilla. Tidbin, Billa.

[A]

Tidbin. Bill is in Warrnambool. No, I have no idea. That's. Sorry.

[B]

We can't just be saying things.

[C]

Can't just be saying things.

[A]

Okay, I know exactly where Warrnambool is. What do you think, first of all, what coast do you think Warrnambool is?

[B]

East coast, Northeast.

[A]

It is the east coast, Aaron, but it's not the northeast, it's the southeast. It looks like it's maybe an hour or two outside of Melbourne.

[C]

Tasmania.

[A]

Is it right above Tasmania? No, Warrnambool's on the coast. It's on the water. It actually looks fucking fantastic.

[B]

And we're sorry if we're saying it wrong.

[A]

No, I'm not.

[B]

I am. I am sorry.

[A]

Warrnambool has a Red Rooster.

[C]

What does that mean?

[A]

A KFC. A McDonald's. Wow. They're just like us.

[C]

Whoa.

[B]

They love their macros over there in Australia. They love McDonald's.

[A]

They have a Waves Motel. The Waves motel looks really nice. Let's see if I can get prices. Oh, no, it's not giving me available prices. Sorry, guys, you have to contact the property.

[B]

Are we doing riddles?

[C]

It's probably about a Jeff Dunham ticket per night.

[A]

I would guess no. Now I want to move to Warrnambool, Australia, and go to Discovery Parks. Warrnambool and the deep blue springs. Warrnambool hot springs.

[C]

And you don't have time to move two things?

[A]

No, I actually don't have time because I have to rent a Warrnambool heritage cottage. I actually don't think you could rent it.

[B]

Are you getting paid by their tourism board?

[A]

I would love to. I do have an open Venmo, so if they want to. If they have some extra scratch and they want to send me. Listen, this riddle submission is probably from, like, six years ago, but, Ben, if you're still in Warrnambool, Australia, I don't believe you ever told us what it's like there, but I would love if you could email the show and just give us an update on, like, is Warrnambool cool? Is it.

[C]

Nice snapshot.

[A]

I mean, right now, if you hear this, it's summertime in Warrnambool, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, real quick, before I forget, just because we brought up Australia, I had a thought last night, right before I went to bed. Seconds before I went to bed. Because they shot in New Zealand.

[A]

Oh, seconds before you went to bed. You shouldn't be eating before bedtime.

[C]

Viggo Mortensen. Is there anyone. Is there any actor who seems as good a dude as Viggo Mortensen?

[B]

No.

[C]

I don't know if I've ever seen him look mad or like. He just seems, like, sweetest dude. Yes. Very gentle.

[B]

Very gentle.

[A]

But. But is that. I mean, I. I worry about saying that about Viggo Mortensen because someone's going to be like, can we check his Wikipedia page for a controversy story?

[B]

I'm worried about saying that about any man. Really?

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

He just, like the way we all like Keanu, We've all rallied around Keanu Reeves is like, he's the best guy in Hollywood. I feel like Viggo Mortensen is outside the door just kind of quietly smoking a clove cigarette, and we should give him his due.

[A]

Yeah. I feel like if Viggo Mortensen was the same, like, celebrity level as Keanu Reeves, I think that he would probably be in that same category of conversation.

[C]

There could be a Viggo John Wick, Lego.

[A]

It'd be more like, at this point, like, a Vigo nobody, right? Cause, like, Vigo's. He's no spring chicken anymore, right? Yeah.

[D]

That's very cool.

[A]

He's, like, in his 60s, probably.

[C]

Keanu's probably in his 60s. Right.

[A]

Jesus.

[B]

Well, you know, I don't know any of this. I don't want to know any of this.

[C]

That's the real riddle.

[A]

Well, the real riddle is the one that we're about to do from Ben in Warrnambool, Australia. Okay, here's your riddle. On Stanley, on were the last words of Babylon. If I were to stand in Stanley's place, it would bring salty tears to people's face.

[B]

It's one of those little mermaids that is in the front of the boat.

[A]

It's one of those goddamn little mermaids that's in the front of the boat.

[C]

You smash the champagne bottle on their head.

[A]

I want to see a quick scene.

[B]

Okay?

[A]

Adol, you're a boat captain and you just hit Aaron, who's one of those little mermaids in the front of the boat.

[C]

And bon voyage.

[B]

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[C]

Oh, that's a lot of blood or SAP. I don't know what that is.

[B]

I just got that.

[C]

I am so sorry. I thought you were like. I thought you were wood.

[B]

I am. I am. Oh, I just got veneers, though.

[A]

Oh.

[B]

A full face of veneers. This is gonna be, like, $8,000 at least, man.

[C]

Oh, my.

[B]

Reconstructive work. I don't know if you want to sell me or what's going on.

[A]

Can you get.

[C]

Are you able to, like, rest yourself off the front of the ship and, like, walk around, or. You're kind of firm?

[B]

No, you gotta bring the boat to the dentist.

[C]

Yeah, okay, well, then I'm not gonna pay.

[B]

No, come on, man, because you can't, like.

[C]

I mean, you have to wait for a lawyer to take a boat trip, and then you have to wait for them to get back from their.

[B]

You're looking at this journey. I got nothing but time. Also, this is not real champagne.

[C]

Okay, what do we. Okay.

[A]

All right.

[B]

That's not as bad.

[C]

Let's make this go away.

[B]

Hey, everybody.

[A]

The cop did not be using champagne. Mutiny. No, no, no.

[C]

Hold on, hold on. This is Moet Mow.

[A]

And this is Mawife.

[C]

Mrs. Captain. Enchante. Listen, everyone. Crowd, crowd about to board the boat. It's not real champagne.

[B]

Bad luck to not use real champagne.

[C]

Listen, cheersing with water never killed anyone.

[B]

Plus, yes, it did. It killed a lot of people.

[C]

Oh, my God. They didn't pee out the poison or.

[B]

No, no, it's bad luck. It brings a bad omen on you and yours. But I guess you can't pay the $40,000 to fix my teeth.

[A]

Forty?

[C]

It was eight. Just listen, I used fake champagne because I went the real champagne for all the passengers.

[A]

Yay. All the passengers.

[C]

Champagne for my real friends.

[B]

Good luck drinking champagne when you're drowning because the ship has bad luck put upon it.

[C]

Listen, when's the last time a ship crashed Titanic? What are we talking?

[B]

Yesterday? I cursed this ship. I cursed it in these inhabitants. Unless you give me real champagne.

[C]

And you, Captain, let's get a chisel or a saw.

[B]

$70,000. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

[C]

Yeah, just chip away at that.

[B]

You're put a hole in your boat. You put a hole in your front of the boat.

[C]

That's fine.

[B]

I bounce out the weight.

[C]

You what?

[B]

I balance out the weight.

[C]

You balance out the weight?

[A]

Yeah, sounds like it. More pee out the poison stuff to me.

[B]

All right, fine. Take me off your boat. See how it goes. But then you'll find out about the curse of the.

[C]

Throw some termites in your.

[A]

Seed.

[C]

Go to work, boys.

[B]

Yeah, jokes on you. The termites are her friends.

[A]

Yeah, jokes on you. The termites were her hair. And actually it's a glow up.

[B]

And they never hurt her.

[A]

And actually it's a glow up.

[C]

Aaron, if they're your friends, name three names you would give a termite.

[B]

Term. Mike, it's a Mr. Bug.

[C]

Okay, all right.

[A]

Case.

[C]

Close.

[B]

You know what a professional improviser, everybody.

[A]

There's the fits. The thousands that you spend on classes. They don't. It's not thousands of like for making up names.

[B]

Yeah, well, you're so smart, JPC. You gave me three names for a term mate.

[A]

King Shandy, Mr. Terrific, and Lord Wilmington.

[C]

That second one seems a little suspicious.

[A]

Oh, yeah, I feel like that might be from a Superman movie.

[B]

All right, Adol, if you're so smart, give me three names for termites.

[C]

Jeff, Doug, Tony.

[A]

This is how they name minions. He's just doing minions. Names for termites.

[B]

Banana. Banana. Banana.

[A]

Okay, you guys were so close to getting this riddle.

[C]

Oh, I thought Aaron got it.

[A]

Well, no, no one even tried it. Well, I guess Aaron did say mermaid on the front of the ship, which was wrong.

[C]

We never got that information on Stanley.

[A]

On were the last words of Babylon. If I were to stand in Stanley's place, it would bring salty tears to people's face.

[B]

A lighthouse.

[C]

Ooh, it's gotta be a lighthouse.

[A]

Something nautical right there. You're thinking something nautical for, like the salty tears to people's face. Yeah. No, the salty tears to people's face. Here's the hint I will give you are like, literal. It's not Like a metaphor. Yeah, they're actual tears.

[C]

Actual tears. Stanley makes me think. Stanley Steamer makes me think. Stanley. The water bottles that were all the rage.

[A]

Oh, yeah. Hey, in some people's households, they still are.

[C]

The two choo. Stanley Babylon. This is a tough one.

[A]

Yeah, this is a tough one.

[B]

Why do people cry? Because they're sad.

[C]

Because they're sad. Because they're happy. Because they're in pain.

[A]

This is actually a great line that I think will really help you. You're on a really good position here with why do people cry?

[B]

Having a wedding, kids going to college. The wind.

[A]

Mm. Mm.

[C]

Now, Babylon was a Dominic Chazelle movie from two years ago, which I thought was actually. I saw so much negative press about it and how people were like, womp, womp, flop. And then I watched it. I was like, I kind of love this movie.

[A]

I never saw it, but Mariah watched it, and it was one of those things where like, sometimes she'll, like, start watching a movie while we're recording or something. Then I'll come upstairs and I'll catch, like, the last 40 minutes of the movie. And catching the last 40 minutes of Babylon, by the way. Raw.

[C]

You can't say chair company. It's like. It's bonkers. Which is why I liked it so much. It's just nonstop. Why do people cry? Cause someone's going away? Because someone's returned? I mean, there's a lot of reasons. People.

[A]

No, let's think of more, like, things that make people cry that are not, like, emotional things. I think that's really gimmicky.

[B]

Yeah. I said the wind.

[C]

Onions.

[B]

Onion.

[A]

The answer is onion. Now, do you know why the answer is onion. And I posted in our chat the text of this.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

On Stanley on. Were the last words of Babylon. If I were to stand in Stanley's place, it would bring salty tears to people's face.

[C]

Stanley's the guy cutting the onions.

[A]

Yeah. If I. And if you put quotes around I were to stand in Stanley's place, what does that do to the start of the riddle?

[B]

Oh, is Stanley have cutting board.

[C]

Onion on. In.

[D]

On.

[C]

Onion on.

[A]

I. On. If you replace Stanley with I, you spell onion.

[C]

Okay. This kind of rocks.

[A]

Wow, that's a good riddle. Actually, this is a good riddle. And doesn't this kind of make you think, like, maybe Warren Bull Australia is, like, the fucking place to be, you know?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

The only thing I know about it is one good riddle came from what's.

[C]

In the water in war.

[B]

I'd like to see a scene Y.

[A]

Please.

[B]

Adol. You are going to hr, which is jpc, and you're complaining about being bullied at work by an onion who's making you cry.

[C]

Hey. Sorry, Todd, we had a 3pm oh.

[A]

Yeah, come on in.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

What's up, penis breath? Sorry, I just saw ET Last night for the first time.

[C]

Oh, do they say penis breath in that?

[A]

Oh, my God, don't they? Oh, no. I could get in huge trouble.

[C]

Hey, listen, I don't want to make a big deal out of this just because this is about someone in the office, which I guess most HR complaints are.

[A]

Sure, yeah. Yes.

[C]

Otherwise you.

[A]

Yeah. And again, this is all. It's all anonymous. Even the stuff that I say to you. Penis breath? I think it isn't. I googled it and it is an ET So.

[C]

Is this because I have Reese's at my desk all the time? Reese's Pieces?

[A]

No.

[C]

And I know you say Reese's Pieces, but I prefer mine.

[A]

I promise you it has nothing to do with you. It's just because I saw ET for the first time last night and they do say penis breath and ET which is crazy.

[B]

Just walking by an open door did.

[C]

Oh, shit. Oh, shit, oh, shit. Oh, shit.

[B]

I don't wanna eavesdrop on hr, but please don't.

[A]

Then just keep walking by.

[C]

Wait, this isn't. This isn't my. This isn't the bathroom. Zip. Welp, well. Hey, onion. How you doing?

[B]

Hey, penis breath.

[C]

Come on. How is this spreading?

[B]

How you doing today?

[A]

Ow.

[C]

You shoved me into the wall. Which is good because we're co workers and that's. This is.

[A]

So you're okay with that? Because that could be like a serious HR violation. But you're okay with it? You said it. No tixies, backsies.

[B]

I got a question for hr. It's totally okay to take your co worker's wife out on a date, right? Because I already did that last night. High five. High five. High five me. I'm an onion. High five me. I'm an onion.

[A]

High five you. Move away. Move aside, Brian. I'm going to high five this onion. Yeah, I guess it's outside of the workplace, so as long as it's not like at like a work sanctioned event, I think you can kind of do whatever you want.

[B]

All right, well, I'm going to keep on keeping on. I'm going to go text your wife that I had a great time last night.

[A]

My wife?

[B]

No, no, not you. Oh, don't worry. Of course, I would never do that.

[C]

That explains why this morning, my Wife came home in her same clothes and was walking while saying, ow, ow, ow.

[D]

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

[B]

Yeah, that was me. I'm gonna get back to my desk.

[A]

I think everybody better get back to their desk.

[C]

Onion's been bullying me. I want to find. I want to. This onion needs to go. For the last two weeks, she's been non stop bullying me.

[A]

What?

[C]

She has been harassing me physically, mentally.

[A]

Penis breath. That is a very serious allegation. Okay, are you sure you want to file an official complaint?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I'd also love it if I just wasn't referred to as penis breath. It seems like maybe there's a problem.

[A]

All right, I'm going to log it here, but memorandum. But just so you know, I'll have to phone the home office. Oh, God. E.T. is just living in every part of my brain. Phone home office. Oh, my God.

[C]

I'm putting in my two weeks.

[A]

We'll sad to see you go, penis breath, but happy to not smell that smell no more.

[B]

Hey, Onion, again, I would like to put in a complaint.

[A]

Oh, please. Absolutely.

[B]

It's actually a two part complaint for penis breath.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Why his. Why his breath stinks so bad. And also, his wife just broke up with me, and that's not nice. So I'd like to make a complaint. I feel bullied.

[C]

Are you kidding me?

[B]

I feel bullied. His wife broke up with me. I feel bullied.

[A]

Hey, penis breath, be nice. Onion's going through a breakup.

[B]

I'm going through a breakup.

[A]

So you have no emotional sensitivity. That's one of your big problems?

[B]

Apparently it gives you a UTI to have sex with an onion. I didn't know that. How was I supposed to know that?

[C]

It's got to also be.

[A]

You had sex with an ET.

[B]

Copyright lawsuit.

[A]

I was trying to think. Is there an extraterrestrial CD something there? Huh?

[C]

Oh, yeah, an ETD scene.

[B]

Yeah, scene. Give me like, 40 minutes.

[C]

Estrotextical.

[B]

Yes. There we go.

[A]

Extratextical. Casey, don't clip that. Here we go. Here's another one from Jess. Jess. She. Her. Thank you for including your pronouns, Jesse. The riddle is we pick but don't choose. We don't come in twos. Periodically smaller, we won't make you taller. The top of the tip, we scratch and we click. Some fancy, some plain. But what is our name? It's not an apple, Aaron. That is exactly correct. It is not an apple. You're so fooled.

[B]

Wow. I'm so smart.

[C]

The top of the tip.

[B]

Is it a food?

[A]

Um, is it a plant?

[C]

Something.

[A]

It is not a food, but it's. I hesitate to say eat, but some people do bite these.

[C]

Hmm.

[A]

I guess some people eat them too. We pick but don't choose. We don't come in twos. Interesting. His mind went to boogers. Aaron, do we want to do anything with that? That was the first place his mind went with not food that people eat.

[C]

I can proudly say, never had a booger touch my tongue.

[A]

Oh, you've never tried a booger?

[C]

No.

[B]

You guys, I will take my headphones off. I'm a little nauseous this morning. I will take my headphones off.

[A]

It's just when someone says never.

[B]

And then you'll have to beg me to put my headphones back on. You'll have to bribe me with money.

[A]

Here.

[B]

It hosts money.

[C]

New York Post is saying Baja Blast Pie called Booger Baked good.

[B]

Throws headphones into the garbage disposal. Turns on garbage disposal. Sounds the same as when JBC talks high fives.

[A]

Though.

[B]

High fives on you.

[C]

Can you read this riddle one more time?

[A]

We pick but don't choose. We don't come in twos. Periodically smaller. We won't make you taller. The top of the topic. No, the top of the tip. We scratch and we click. Some fancy, some plain. But what is our name? I like this riddle a lot. I think Jess did a good job.

[C]

Is this picking fruit?

[A]

Is it man made? Not really. Aaron, it's not really man made.

[D]

No.

[A]

No, it's natural. It's not man made.

[C]

Fingernails at all.

[A]

At all.

[C]

Fingernails.

[A]

It's fingernails.

[B]

Oh, those are not man made. Well, I mean, you're making them right now, man.

[A]

But they're like. They're construct. They're like natural, right? They occur. I don't have any say over making fingernails. Honestly, if I could just stop making fingernails, I think that would be for the best.

[C]

No, if you put a Q tip in at a certain angle, I bet you could turn that button off.

[A]

It's a really risky procedure because it's not based on any science, but I bet you could do it.

[C]

I do understand, Aaron.

[A]

You wouldn't stop growing fingernails.

[B]

No, because it protects my little nail beds, I guess.

[A]

But you gotta cut them. You gotta clip them all the time.

[C]

Aren't the nail beds only in need of protection because there's a fingernail?

[B]

No, I think that they're sensitive, Right.

[C]

But if the fingernail was gone, wouldn't they be more calloused and hardened?

[B]

No, they're like a sensitive part of your body. Have you ever had like a nail completely Fall.

[C]

But I'm saying, what if it was.

[A]

Just like the other side of the finger? I think that's what Adol's saying. What if we had double sided fingers?

[B]

You know what? You know What? Okay, here's E.T.

[A]

Does.

[B]

Here's the thing. I was going to defend how smart our bodies are at just doing what they need to be doing, but our breathing hole and our eating hole is the same hole. So I don't know.

[A]

Not all of us, Aaron. Not all of us.

[B]

So you know what? We're not that well designed. I'm not going to die on the hill of humans.

[A]

Erin thinks that Baja Blast Pie is so disgusting because she's putting it in her breathing hole.

[C]

Oh, Aaron. No.

[A]

Aaron, that is not the whole. You eat the Baja Blast Pie.

[C]

That is not.

[B]

Guys, I cannot get another uti.

[C]

Eti.

[A]

What's your seed? Adel, what's your scene?

[B]

Yeah, please get.

[C]

For the love of God, I want to see a scene. I can't ever remember what I wanted to do.

[B]

That was fingernails. It was fingernails.

[C]

Let's go to a break.

[A]

No, no, no. We don't. We can't. We can't go to a break yet. Let's do one more riddle and then I promise we'll do a break. Okay? Okay.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Kevin Kevinson submitted this rental, so that should give you an idea of how long ago this rental was submitted. That sounds like a 2019 rental. I'm 1/4 of a score and used by many you might find me on the floor. I'm more tempting than a penny. I can get you many a thing but when spent I am gone. So get the gift worth giving and use me on Patreon. What am I?

[C]

Whoa.

[A]

$5 bill, Aaron, is a $5 bill.

[C]

Five. Five dollars. Because four scores for a score is what, 20 years?

[A]

A score is 20 years. Yeah, I think so. I'm a fourth of a score. Yeah. Yeah. Score is 20 years.

[C]

Whoa.

[A]

Kevin says I'm the $5 that just shelled out to join the Clue crew. Thanks for the laughs. Much love. Hey, and if you got $5 and you want to join the Clue crew, you're going to be just in time for one of my favorite things of the year, which is our 2025 out of context clips bracket.

[B]

I don't know, maybe wait a few months if you want to join the Patreon. I don't know, maybe skip it this year. Aaron, that's Hayward o' Riddle has really fallen off, huh? Yeah, I agree. Aaron.

[C]

Okay, go ahead, Aaron. You're Abraham Lincoln. You're doing the famous four score in 20 years speech. JPC, you are a heckler who feels like Lincoln is sort of out of touch with lingo.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Four score and seven years ago. Sorry, is that a. It's like a seagull or something flew by. All right, here we go. Four score and seven years ago.

[A]

Hold on. Larry, get my abacus. The President's making me do a math problem. What? Solve. What am I solving for?

[B]

Okay, I gotta laugh. All right. Yeah, we're all having fun. We're all. I'm like, sort of part of this. Sir, sir, where are you from?

[A]

Oh, don't make me say sir.

[B]

Where are you from?

[A]

Well, I'm heckling Lincoln, so.

[B]

Oh, looks like this guy's from the South. What's it feel? What's it feel like to lose?

[A]

Not good. We really wanted slaves.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay, so what was I saying? Four score. Near four score. Sorry I messed up this time.

[A]

Damn.

[B]

Years ago, our great nation brought forth a new nation.

[A]

Who would be heckling Lincoln right now?

[C]

Oh, man, there are a lot of seagulls out, though. They keep swooping down.

[A]

Yeah, it's Georgia.

[B]

There's a civil war. Okay, I feel like I lost the sauce on this one scene.

[C]

Oh, if we could have only said lost the sauce.

[B]

Poor Lincoln.

[A]

If he said. If he said lost the sauce in the same speech that he said four.

[C]

Score, we would have had a President Douglas.

[A]

Poor, poor Lincoln. Aaron, don't feel too bad for the guy. The guy's on fricking money.

[B]

All right? Yeah, you're right. He had it pretty good. Especially at the end. You're right.

[A]

Other than that, Ms. Lincoln, how was the money? Hey, why don't we do this? Why don't. Why don't we take a little break? Oh, and I'm looking at what I. What we have planned. And we'll be back with something pretty special.

[B]

All right, mysterious.

Take break.

Age is nothing but a number. The number of years I've been on Earth.

[A]

Years are also nothing but physical manifestations of time passing. Hmm.

[C]

I feel okay.

[A]

I feel okay. Aaron Adle, can I share a real life story brought to you by the fine folks at Quint's? That happened to you.

[C]

I'll allow it.

[A]

So, it's Thanksgiving. We do a thing every year where we go to a friendsgiving at a friend's house. My wife is dressed. My child is dressed. My wife says. I say, I'm gonna go upstairs and take a shower. I come downstairs and my wife says, you are not wearing that to Thanksgiving. And I said, well, I thought. I thought I was going to wear this. And she said, no, you go upstairs and change it. You change it to something nice. And I went upstairs and I went into my closet, and what did I find but my Quince long sleeve Henley. And I said, this actually looks pretty nice. And I think that if I wear this downstairs, my wife will shake her head yes and say, that's something we could leave the house at. And guess what? It happened.

[D]

Ooh.

[B]

But I'm sure that was, like, so expensive. That sounds pretty luxe.

[A]

No, Aaron, it was affordable. It was down right affordable. Because Quince makes the essentials every guy needs. I'm talking Mongolian cashmere sweaters for $50, Italian wool coats that look and feel designer and denim and chinos that fit just right.

[C]

Oh, and don't get me started on their outerwear lineup. It's no joke. They have down jackets, wool top coats, leather styles. They're all built to last.

[B]

Each piece is made from premium materials by trusted factories that meet rigorous standards for craftsmanship and ethical production. I love quints. I particularly love their home line. Incredible sheets, glassware, rugs. Don't get me started on their rugs.

[A]

So, guys, stop getting sent back upstairs by your wife to change, because what you picked out is not something that you should even own anymore and actually should go to the dump.

[B]

Feels like a you thing.

[A]

And not the dump where they just bury it. The dump where they burn it. Feels get your wardrobe sorted and your giftless handled with quits. Don't wait.

[B]

Quince.com Riddle what were you wearing when you came downstairs?

[A]

Full turkey costume.

[B]

Knew it.

[C]

Ah, nuts. I missed out on getting the worm this morning.

[B]

Wait, but you're. You talked all about wanting to be the early bird.

[C]

I know. Well, what I say and what I do is two different things. There's quite a discrepancy between.

[A]

You've been practicing the worm all year. You said you were gonna get out of bed, flop down on the floor, and start writhing around.

[C]

I know. I love breakdancing. But I guess I didn't get it. I gotta get up more early. Oh, you know what else I need to do early? Acorns Early.

[B]

Ah.

[A]

Oh, wait. You mean Acorns early, the smart debit card and money app that grows kids money skills as they grow up. That acorn's early.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

When my kids get out of their eggs out of the nest, I want them to be prepared and set up for success in the world.

[B]

That would have changed my life because I was growing up being like, why aren't they teaching us how to handle our finances in school? They're kind of just throwing us to the wolves when we turn 20 and I don't know anything about money. And if I had had Acorns early, this would have been way easier.

[A]

Yeah. With Acorns early, you start with the In App Chores tracker and teach your kids the value of a dollar. Then you can let your kids set their own saving goals and start building healthy bunny habits early. Kids can spend what they've earned with their very own customizable debit card, giving them that extra sense of independence. Plus, with Acorn's early spending limits and real time spend notifications, parents always stay in control.

[C]

What do squirrels do with acorns? Are those like their pillows? Is that their money?

[B]

These are really good questions.

[A]

They treat them like pillows.

[B]

If your kid, I don't know, is starting a winter lemonade stand and you need to help them stretch that dollar, really start their business. Acorn Acorns early might be the answer.

[A]

When my kids are old enough, because they're not quite old enough yet, I'm definitely going to be using Acorns early to help teach them financial literacy. I played around with this tool. It's really awesome and it teaches a lot of great lessons for younger children. To start with good money habits early on.

[A]

I need water. It's too sandy in here. Sandy's in here trying to do a segment.

[B]

Can't believe I fell for it.

[C]

You ruined your clothes to do this intro.

[A]

These are pre ruined clothes. They were more expensive. Expensive?

[C]

Oh, you're dumping out your canteen and Sandy's sort of forming in the ether. Whoa.

[A]

Cool. Cool.

[D]

Yeah. Thomas Hayden. Church doesn't have a monopoly on this move. That's a Spider Man 3.

[A]

I love it.

[C]

Actually, not bad casting. No, I will say not terrible casting.

[D]

I mean, they didn't hire me, but short of me, which would have been the best choice. To Church. Sure, why not?

[C]

But he's sort, you know, he's sort of an everyman. He's got that gravelly voice, which is what you want for the character. Striped sweatshirt.

[B]

Of course.

[C]

What else? Big striped sweatshirt guy that's mostly on costumes.

[D]

No, I think that's his.

[C]

Well, Sandy.

[D]

Yeah?

[C]

Let's get into some fun little games or puzzles, whatever you have for us.

[D]

Yeah, well, I don't know what to call these. I guess they're just riddles. They are. I've come up with a bunch of I guess dad jokes for you guys to suss out.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Love it.

[C]

I'm leaning in.

[D]

We all know what I'm talking about. But just in case, let's give you an example. If I asked you, what does a mountain climber and a stoner have in common, you would say, well, they both like to peak early. God damn it.

[A]

They both like to get high.

[D]

They both like to get high. Thank you, dude. Okay, okay. The dad chimes in.

[C]

Aaron was pinching the bridge of her nose like a mom in an 80s movie who's at the kitchen table and the bills pile.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

And the dad's like, I got a new business idea. I'm just gonna write these jokes.

[B]

What if you went down to the factory and you asked if they could hire you back?

[C]

She just keeps saying, I don't know how we're gonna do this.

[B]

How are we gonna do this?

[A]

I was at the zoo the other day and I was looking at the camels and I heard someone say to someone else next to me, not to me, what do you call a three humped camel? Which of course I know the answer to. And the answer to that joke is pregnant. And I turned to.

[D]

Hold on, hold on. I've got to write this one down.

[A]

Dads will enjoy. Which I feel like is a pretty classic dad joke. It's like a dad joke that I've heard a lot before. I turned to my right to see who had said it. It was a maybe five year old boy to another five year old boy. And I was, whoa. And I was like, so that is a joke that you've heard. Like your dad, I want to say your dad. They were alone. They were like. They were probably with a chaperone who was not like directly next to them. But I was like, that is a joke that you probably heard your dad say. But I'm like, do you know what that means? I was like, I really wanted to drill in on this five year old to be like, what do you think that means?

[B]

That's crazy.

[A]

Yeah. It's pretty wild.

[D]

Yeah. Are you outraged that they know what a pregnant woman looks like or that they've heard of dromedary camels?

[C]

You know what?

[A]

It was more about the dromedary camel thing. I'm like, you identified that these are humps, huh? Okay. You just don't think this is like his fucked up back that you're seeing? It was more just the bawdiness of the joke.

[D]

Sorry, I made.

[C]

Fuck.

[D]

I fucked up the camel joke. I should have said Bactrian. Bactrian's the one with two. Dromedary is the one with one.

[B]

That went way over our head.

[D]

Thank you for not correcting me. No, no, no, you're being very kind. Obviously we all know the difference between camels and I was the one who fucked up.

[C]

Sorry, Sidney. We're going to loop it in. Jack, Hannah, real quick for a big laugh.

[A]

Cindy, what if it was a dromedary, but it was with twins? I guess you don't need to hump twice to do twins. I don't really know how cables do it.

[D]

How do they do it twice with twins?

[C]

Who are you, Dan Blazerian?

[A]

God, we're going to be piping in laughs all over.

[D]

I haven't even asked one riddle yet. But I like how you have a zoo story for every occasion. Jpc.

[A]

I'll have to fucking think of one for the goddamn next segment.

[D]

JPC is like, I'm out of material. I got to go down to the again. Over listening to strangers conversations.

[A]

Me with a tiny little notebook at the zoo. Just writing down observations that I see just a few.

[C]

This is gold kids field recording equipment. Star new podcast.

[D]

Housewarming.

[C]

Nice one.

[B]

Wow, that one's so good.

[A]

I have dad energy coursing through my body and it's connecting me to the dad God of the sky who powers all of our dad abilities.

[D]

Yeah, you might have access to this list of jokes that I've written down. I store them in a database. Okay, what is a secret? What does a synchronized diver have in common with a billiards player?

But I do think that pool sharks are real because my cousins wouldn't have lied to me when I was a kid.

[B]

You know, I'm not going to correct you. I think that a little bit of fear will do you good.

[D]

Was your cousin a shark? Is that why?

[A]

Oh, I mean, my cousin name was Bruce. Don't necessarily know that they were sharks. I mean, they were animatronic.

[B]

It makes sense that you're related to a shark because you're off all cartilage and no bone, right?

[C]

And you can't stop moving.

[B]

I don't know. It's just an observation about you.

[A]

It has a setup of a dad joke.

[A]

Oh, Crowning.

[B]

Crowning.

[A]

It's a crowning.

[D]

You're There, you're there, you're there. Just one more word.

[A]

Crowning a head. Crowning a head of state. Crowning the head is crowned.

[D]

I'll give it to you. You got the important word. It's a crowning achievement.

[A]

Crowning achievement.

[B]

Fun.

[D]

What does Popeye have in common with someone who gets almost nothing on their salad?

[C]

Those olives, oils, those spinach.

[D]

Put it together.

[A]

Someone gets nothing on their salad. Almost nothing.

[C]

No dressing.

[D]

A very plain salad. You guys had it. Just put those two eggs together.

[A]

Is it olive oil or.

[D]

They both only hold the olive oil. Spinach and olive oil. I had a dirty version of that that my wife eats.

[A]

Say it. Honestly, I was trying to think of the dirty version of that because there is some sort of, like, dad joke and, like, eating olive oil or something.

[D]

Yeah, they only munch on spinach and olive oil.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

Yeah, there we go. Finally.

[D]

Finally. What about.

[A]

Cause you look at Popeye and you think, that guy definitely eats puss here.

[B]

Oh, my God. Logging off. Logging off.

[C]

Well, he's a sailor.

[B]

Logging off is sweet. Pe.

[A]

Their kid.

[D]

They have a kid, right?

[A]

What's the guy. What's the guy from Popeye who's lagging?

[D]

No.

[A]

Oh, that's the hamburger guy. Right.

[C]

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today or whatever he says.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fucking awesome. Awesome guy.

[C]

Amazing. Just a mooch. Just a total mooch.

[D]

J. Wellington Wimpy is his full name.

[C]

Wow.

[A]

I mean, it's a classic guy that doesn't exist anymore, but existed for a long time, which is just a hamburger liar, and I fucking love that.

[D]

Yes. Sweet pea is.

[C]

Oh, sweet pea.

[D]

Yeah, yeah, Sweet pea. No tea.

[C]

Oh, sweetie. Which is what I'm getting.

[D]

I guess I can't read this fast enough to tell if it's the child of Popeye in olive oil, but I think.

[C]

Can I just say very quickly, for listeners who haven't done so, please get high and watch the Robin Williams Popeye. Oh, it's so fucking weird.

[D]

Is it worth doing that?

[C]

Is it worth doing so it's Robin Williams and Shelley Long, and it's so weird.

[D]

So here's a fun fact. Here's a fun fact. Not about Popeye the movie, but the fast food chain Popeyes is not named after Popeye the comic strip or Popeye the movie, but it is named after another movie. It is named after the lead character from the movie, the French Connection, whose name is Popeye Doyle, played by Gene Hackman. Yeah, that's wild. They named Popeyes after that, which is Wild. Because in public consciousness now, Popeye the Sailor man is way, way well known than Popeye Doyle.

[A]

Well, that's because Gene Hackman died and somebody cocoed him.

[C]

Right?

[A]

Remember me?

[D]

Popeye's never going to die.

[A]

Popeye will live forever. Hey, speaking of things that'll live forever.

[D]

You want one more?

[A]

Could we do. Yeah, can we do one more? I have a segue. Thank you for saving me. There.

[D]

Queued up for me. Okay. What does an old car have in common with a director who quits a Mission Impossible movie?

[C]

They both McG. They both.

[A]

They both McG.

[C]

They both.

[A]

An old car with a director that quits a Mission Impossible movie?

[D]

Out of ire, out of pique.

[C]

They both.

[A]

Damn. I feel like I know who finished all the missed Impossible movies, but I don't know about a director that quit them.

[C]

They both gave up.

[D]

No, no, there is. It's not a name of someone. I'm just saying conceptually, if someone.

[C]

Okay.

[D]

Someone who. A director who gets so frustrated that they quit directing a Mission Impossible movie has something in common with an old car.

[B]

Cruise control.

[C]

They both don't have cruise control.

[D]

They both lack cruise control.

[B]

Wow, that's so fun. I really like that one.

[D]

Well done.

[A]

Awesome, Sandy. Thank you so much. Where can people find you? What are you doing around this world?

[D]

Well, I'm still making my daily word game called Raddle R A D D L E at Raddle Quest. That's a daily word game where you transform words into other words using clues. Still going strong. And I run a company called the Mystery League, which is out of Chicago, where I'm putting together team building events or other kinds of fun ARGs and puzzle hunts for anyone who wants them. So check me out there.

[A]

Very cool.

[C]

For people who don't know what args.

[D]

Are, alternate reality games. So this is like a puzzle hunt, but there's a story, a narrative woven through it, and the community works together to puzzles to unlock more parts of the story. They're really. There's lots of them. There's a new one probably every day. There's like a subreddit direct committed to them. Usually they're tied into like video game franchise releases or movie releases.

[C]

Very cool.

[D]

I've done some for musicians. I'm doing some for another musician soon, Jason Moraz.

[C]

It doesn't matter.

[B]

We don't have Jason Moraz. Don't. Don't tell us.

[A]

Blank three times if it's Jason Morgan. He blinked. Bye, Sandy.

[C]

Bye, Sandy.

[A]
