Key Discussion Points & Memorable Moments

1. Insurance Claim Cold Open (00:06–04:14)

• The hosts riff on the idea that a disaster has befallen the podcast, parodying insurance claims and bureaucratic logic.
  • "If you ever need to rob a dad, just start talking about a lawn and the sleeper cell thing in their brain will wake up..." – Adal (06:11)
• JPC jokes about complex bureaucratic chains literally ending at "the Devil" (03:07).
• This sequence sets the tone, blending improvisation and banter before addressing riddles at all.

2. Warm-Up Riddles & Rapid Scenes (10:05–23:05)

• Warm-Up 1: The classic "six eggs" riddle; Erin and Adal quickly solve it.
  • Erin: "Those are just the two eggs. So she had four left. If you break two eggs, you're putting them in a pan. If you fry them, those are still the ones you broke. And if you eat them, they're the ones you broke and fried." (10:34)
• The trio jump into a rapid-fire scene about egg-based doppelgängers (11:17), then repeatedly launch into meta-commentary about doing scenes based on riddles.
• Warm-Up 2: "What can you find in December that you can't find in any other month?" Answer: The letter D.
• Warm-Up 3: "As fragile as tissue alone, together can crush a small town." – After jokes about Godzilla and Captain Planet, answer is "a snowflake (snowflakes)" (21:39).
• Ongoing comic tension as Erin tries to keep prompting scenes, and Adal laments missing a great “snowflake date” improv idea (22:47).

3. The ‘Better Nate Than Lever’ "Riddle" (23:05–28:03)

• JPC presents a listener submission that’s less a riddle, more a pun: “Better Nate than lever.”
• The hosts groan and joke about “one-off” joke stories versus riddles.
  • "Because better Nate than lever." – JPC reveals the pun (26:19)
• Laughter and mock outrage ensue.
  • Erin: "I need to pull an Adam Driver in Marriage Story and put a hole in my wall." (26:32)

4. Improv Tangents and Mood Tech Pitches (30:33–33:47)

• Random scenes ensue (car accident mid-story: 28:37)
• Adal proposes a “mood ring for your house” that changes your lighting based on your emotion—a “real” tech startup pitch.
  • "It's a mood ring. It's like one of those health rings that you wear. But, okay, so...the lights in your house are connected to that ring." – Adal (31:03)
• JPC suggests a version for dogs that audibly announces their feelings, riffing on the movie UP (33:18).

5. Guest Segment with Sandy — Dad Joke Riddle Showdown (44:27–64:46)

• Sandy presents themed, classic dad joke “riddles,” challenging the gang to find wordplay connections between pairs of concepts.
• Standouts include:
  • Bakery & IT worker: “They make cookie dough / computer cookies.” (46:33)
  • Rational thinker & jockey’s paycheck: "Horse sense." (49:10)
  • Playground & Cab Calloway concert: "Swing set." (50:51)
  • Deli counter & liar: "Bologna" ("full of baloney"). (52:04)
  • Construction schedule & 1990’s radio: "Hammer time." (53:12)
  • Good listener & Midwestern fields: "All ears." (57:32)
  • Bank of England & animal shelter record keeper: "Pound notes." (59:09)
  • Jet plane & young prince’s art project: "Aircraft"/"heir craft." (62:12)
  • Frodo Baggins & the bell that freezes a mall: "One ring to rule them all." (63:37)
• The laughter escalates, especially when punchlines go wildly awry or are far groanier than expected.
  • “I’m really glad I got one. That was good for morale.” – Adal, after solving “Crocodile Tears.” (59:22)
• Improv scenes about renaming pets, getting kicked out of orgies, and living in “Roman malls” (64:08+) heighten the absurdity.
  • “Neiman Marcus Aurelius.” – JPC, on a Roman mall store riff. (64:16)

6. Outro, Plugs, and Birthday Shoutouts (64:46–end)

• Sandy plugs her company, The Mystery League, and puzzle website Rattle.
• Erin plugs her LA variety show "Quality Time," JPC plugs "Gumshoes and Dragons," and Adal gets a (premature) birthday shoutout.
  • “Table for Dos jbc. Is there anything you'd like to plug or promote?” – Erin, riffing on the episode's title. (67:21)
• The episode title arises from the outlandish tagline: “Middle Eastern food for Mexican couples.” (67:15)
• Coda includes a listener review gently mocking spoilers and a meta bit referencing “Widow's Bay” (68:36).

Transcript

[Adol Refai]

This is a Headgun podcast.

[JPC]

The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Both of them were goldfish. It was the cabin of an airplane. He stabbed him with an ice ray. And the horses ain't Friday. Okay, so the two of you are filing a home insurance claim because. And I'm reading this now. A disaster befell your podcast.

[Adol Refai]

Yes. A disaster befell our podcast.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yes. We had. I don't know how to phrase this, a third host. Aaron. Is that what you would say? A third host?

[Adol Refai]

A demon that was also here. I don't know, is there, like multiple

[Aaron Kiche]

choice on the paperwork of what Tasmanian Devil type?

[Adol Refai]

Like if Captain Hook was meaner.

[JPC]

A living being. Okay, Now, a human. Not a human. Human. Not a human.

[Aaron Kiche]

Human. Human esque.

[Adol Refai]

Uncanny valley. You know, like Tom Hanks in What's the movie?

[Aaron Kiche]

Castaway.

[Adol Refai]

Castaway, yeah.

[JPC]

With the beard. Yeah. You're like, this isn't Hanks.

[Adol Refai]

Yeah, this isn't Hanks.

[Aaron Kiche]

This is not my Hanks.

[Adol Refai]

Polar Express. Also just sort of that, like, I

[JPC]

was like, please don't say Philadelphia. Please don't say Philadelphia. Please don't say Philadelphia. Because then I'd have to report you, obviously.

[Adol Refai]

No, we're reporting a disaster that befell our podcast.

[JPC]

Yes. Getting back to it. So on my form, since it is a home insurance claim, if it was a person who was injured, I have to mark that down. If it was property, I have to mark that down. But those are the two boxes that I have to check.

[Aaron Kiche]

Gotcha. Gotcha. You know how a lot of insurance. I think there's a claim to do, like, act of God. This is like act of the Antichrist. This third host.

[Adol Refai]

Yeah. You know how, like, God makes tornadoes? The Devil made Whatever this is.

[JPC]

Okay, great. Well, we can put. Act of God is kind of a metaphor. It's like a catch all, you know, because it's like, we're not. The insurance industry is not claiming that there is a God, you know, but the idea that there are certain acts that could be attributable both of God, you know, that's because if you were

[Aaron Kiche]

claiming there's a God, then isn't everything an act of God? Big crash of thunder in my end here.

[Adol Refai]

Wow. Okay, so we're just kidding about that. God. So is where Sawee.

[JPC]

Is it still. Is it still going on? I guess because you said an act of God befell. Is this. Is it still continuing?

[Adol Refai]

Well, no, this I feel like you'll understand because insurance definitely believes in the devil, right? Because that's who you serve yes.

[JPC]

Yes.

[Sandy]

Correct.

[Aaron Kiche]

That's why State Farm's colors are red.

[JPC]

Well, like, you know, my boss's name is Terry. You know, his boss's boss's boss's boss's boss. That's the devil. But I don't know. I mean, if you're. Yeah. If you're upset. I can't get to the devil. I have no way to give.

[Aaron Kiche]

I can get to the devil. Terry Torrey. Purgatory. Hell.

[Adol Refai]

Kevin Bacon. Devil.

[JPC]

Yeah, I think you have to put Kevin Bacon in there. So you have to say, Terry, Terry. No further. Invisible Man. Man, I'd love a cigarette. Cigarettes are bad. Bad. The devil.

[Adol Refai]

We're seeking $100,000 for the damages that befell our beloved podcast. Podcast. Hey, Riddle.

[Sandy]

Riddle.

[JPC]

Yes.

[Adol Refai]

And so whatever we have to fill out on the paperwork to receive the damages.

[JPC]

Oh, why didn't you just say that? If all you want is whatever you have to do to get the money, then we could just tears up all of these documents we've been working on.

[Adol Refai]

Great.

[JPC]

You just cut me in on. Let's just say 1% of that. No more.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah, 1%.

[Adol Refai]

I'll give you all of JP's I'll give you all of JPC's tanks.

[JPC]

Okay, what are we talking? Abrams? What are we talking? Just one more tank. Pull one more fish tank.

[Adol Refai]

Final offer.

[JPC]

Well, that's. Final offer. Final offer. Accepted. You know what else? I accept. I accept that I'm here doing an episode of hey Roto Riddle. I'm jpc.

[Adol Refai]

I'm Adol Refai, and I'm the human one here. Actually, it probably goes. ADOL is the most human. And then I'm sort of that in between. And then it's jpc. It's like the Animorphs.

[JPC]

Animorphs. It's like the animorphs.

[Aaron Kiche]

And what's JPC's final form?

[JPC]

Oh, I am. My final form is midpoint between me turning into a duck. So it's like. It's a half duck creature with, like,

[Aaron Kiche]

you know, with a bill on the back of its head.

[JPC]

Now, Aaron, it looks like it's nice and sunny there where you are in Los Angeles, but as we started recording where Adel and I are in Chicago, a nice summer storm just started rolling in and. Oh, I gotta say, I fucking. I love a summer storm when it's like 75 degrees outside and it's still. And, you know, there's some thunder in the background and it's raining. It's the best.

[Adol Refai]

Now that your dads are you gonna go stand out on your lawns and go, we needed this. The grass is gonna be really happy. We needed this.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Sandy]

It's like both.

[Aaron Kiche]

Both hands sort of on the small of my back.

[Adol Refai]

Yep.

[Aaron Kiche]

As I'm like kind of lifting up on my toes, going, belt, shorts, this.

[JPC]

I told you, I can't. I can't find a person, like, to cut my grass. Like, it's just. I have to do it myself. And it's fine. I just don't like doing it, but I do it now.

[Adol Refai]

Someone to mow your lawn. Cutting grass, that takes forever way too.

[JPC]

Oh, yeah, you're right. Mowing a lawn with a lawnmower would be much more effective. But, you know, if you want something done right, do it yourself. But I did just reseed a big portion of my lawn because I'm like, I hate. I hate doing yard work. But it just needed it. There was like, I had a drain pipe digged in, dug out when I moved in, like five years ago. And I still. There was still like gravel in the front yard. And I was like, this just needs to be dirt and grass. Like, it can't just be. It can't be gravel forever. So I did some reseeding. So this morning when it started raining, I did legit be like, well, now I don't have to go out and fucking water that grass seed. We did need this. This is. God is saving me a ch. A task right now that I don't enjoy doing.

[Adol Refai]

If you ever need to rob a dad, just start talking about a lawn and the sleeper cell thing in their brain will wake up and they'll start talking about what they're doing when they have to go get mulch.

[JPC]

Taking care of a yard is one of my least favorite things in the entire fucking world. And I did. There were a couple years when, especially when my baby was just born that I was like, I'm not dealing with this. And I paid someone else to deal with it. And that was really nice. But then when one of them stops working and finding another one is just another hassle that I'm just doing it myself now. And I'm like, I don't like it. I don't like outside. I don't like. I don't like coming in and having to wash the dirt out of under my fingernails while I was wearing gloves the whole time. I'm like, what are the gloves doing if the dirt is still getting under the fingernails when the gloves are on?

[Aaron Kiche]

Home ownership is the modern day Sisyphus. The amount of tasks you just have to keep on top of every week, every month. It's awful. Sucks.

[Adol Refai]

Jpc. You're a little soft boy prince with soft hands who likes to stay inside.

[JPC]

I'm an inside kid for sure. I like to camp. I like to go experience nature. But there's something about the divide. If I'm outdoors and there's no facilities or whatever and I'm just in it, great. I'm gritty. I'm into it. But when I'm outdoors and I'm like, yeah, but my shower's right there. Now I have to go take a shower, because it is right there.

[Aaron Kiche]

You said something. And I do have to. I'm so sorry. My brain just is screaming for me to say it aloud. I do want to see someone make an Animorphs cover, which is you turning into gritty. The Philadelphia Flyers. I want to say.

[Adol Refai]

That's just going to be so confusing. It's just going to look like the same image over and over and over again. That will be confusing.

[JPC]

If people are not familiar with the Animorphs. It's like a. Some of them were, like, reflective, so you could turn the book and see it, but it's like a six. Kind of like the evolution picture of, like, monkey becoming man.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, I thought you were rating the kids. You're like six turning into a grasshopper.

[JPC]

Tobias is a 10 because he's a bird, but. But that. It's like that image and mine turning into gritty would just be like me, and then the midpoint would be like me going down on myself, and then it would be gritty.

[Adol Refai]

When you said what Animorph is, I was like, isn't that a Maroon 5 song? But I'm thinking of animals, but my brain just went like Animorphs. Like Animorphs. What year do you think that song came out?

[JPC]

Aaron, I need to hook you up with a review crew from, like, two and a half months ago, because that would be perfect fodder.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, I know. Damn.

[Aaron Kiche]

And my brain went straight to Ben Folds Rock in the suburbs with and so. Animorphs. Animorphs.

[Adol Refai]

That's perfect.

[JPC]

Not for long. The classic Muppet. Animorphs, which is my favorite Muppet.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, yeah.

[Adol Refai]

What year do you think Animals by Maroon 5 came out?

[JPC]

I want to say 2012.

[Aaron Kiche]

I'm going to say 2014.

[Adol Refai]

Yep. 2014. How did you know that?

[JPC]

Okay, 2014.

[Aaron Kiche]

Big swing. Swing. And a hit.

[Adol Refai]

I'm scared.

[JPC]

Big Maroon 5 fan. Secret Maroon 5 fan unlocked.

[Adol Refai]

So this is a riddle Puzzle Lateral thinking podcast. We're nine episodes away from our big 420 episode that we haven't discussed yet, but I assume will be huge.

[JPC]

We all assume it's gonna be huge. The big four 20 episode.

[Adol Refai]

The big 420.

[JPC]

Well, it is a riddles podcast, and we actually don't have a lot of time to fuck around today because we have Sandy coming on a little later, and we basically fuck around all the time with Sandy. So we gotta be serious about riddles when we start. Would you guys like to start with some warmup hurdles or should I just throw you right into the deep end?

[Adol Refai]

Warmup.

[Aaron Kiche]

I think some warmups.

[Adol Refai]

My head needs some warmups.

[JPC]

Okay, great. As always with warmups, we may have done something similar to these before, but here are your first warmup hurdles. These warmups are from Jonathan Sanders, and Jonathan did give me permission to use their name. Susie went to the store and bought six eggs. Throughout the day, she broke two eggs, fried two eggs, and then ate two eggs. Later that evening, she baked a quiche, a dish that relies heavily on eggs. How is this possible?

[Aaron Kiche]

Well, it said she fried two eggs. And what was the first one?

[JPC]

Broke two eggs, fried two eggs, and ate two eggs.

[Aaron Kiche]

Those are just the two eggs. So she had four left. If you break two eggs, you're putting them in a pan. If you fry them, those are still the ones you broke. And if you eat them, they're the ones you broke and fried.

[JPC]

Yeah, you are correct.

[Adol Refai]

Exactly.

[JPC]

You are correct. She had six eggs and she used four for a quiche. Is four low for a quiche?

[Adol Refai]

Yeah, that. Is that a mini quiche?

[JPC]

It's gotta be a mini quiche.

[Adol Refai]

Also, did she have two fried eggs when she was having quiche later? What the hell is wrong with her?

[JPC]

Maybe she's baking the quiche for tomorrow. Because sometimes, like, you want to set a quiche overnight, right? Like, it's. It's. To me, a quiche is like a brunch item, not like a dinner item.

[Aaron Kiche]

I do want to see a scene.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

Okay.

[Aaron Kiche]

Aaron, you are. You're walking into a coffee shop and you're asking someone if you can sit down at the table next to them. Jpc, you're this other person and you just happen to be. And this is. I know. This is so weird and random. You just happen to be Aaron Kiche.

[JPC]

Got it.

[Aaron Kiche]

Is this fun?

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

I love how you said that. Like, it's out of your hands, like you're relaying news to us.

[Aaron Kiche]

I was channeling the inspiration.

[JPC]

Another big thunder as Adel said, Aaron Kiche. God. Not too happy about that.

[Adol Refai]

Hi. Sorry to bother you. Are you using this chair in this outlet? Oh, my God.

[JPC]

Oh, no, I'm not at all. Please, by all means, help yourself to it.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, my God.

[JPC]

Oh, yes, I am sorry.

[Adol Refai]

You're like a. I know.

[JPC]

You have the look in your eyes and. Yes. But if we just, you know, be. You know. Because it's no one else in here.

[Adol Refai]

No, it's me.

[JPC]

It's me.

[Adol Refai]

I'm Aaron Keefe. And you're, like, a spitting image of me.

[JPC]

Oh, okay. Yeah. Who do I make it up to? You said your name was Maren.

[Adol Refai]

No, no, no. I don't want an autograph. This is sort of a It Takes Two situation. Mary Kate and Ashley, they meet their exact doppelganger.

[JPC]

I'm in the middle of an audiobook right now. I don't know if you saw the headphones in. So it's like, if I don't finish the chapter, I'm. I kind of get, like.

[Adol Refai]

Right. But this is a miracle. We're basically the same person. But you're made of eggs.

[JPC]

Oh, okay.

[Adol Refai]

Am I this much of a dick?

[JPC]

What's it gonna take to do. What do I need to do if. Do you want me to record, like, a video for your friends?

[Adol Refai]

No, no. Shouldn't we switch places and try to, like, get a couple together or do, like, doppelganger hijinks? This is a huge deal.

[JPC]

My husband is actually in the bathroom, and he's going to be here soon. I'm not.

[Adol Refai]

Aaron is married, and regular Aaron isn't a husband, and I don't even have a husband.

[JPC]

I'm. I'm. I'm not. I'm not alone right now. So it's like. Don't make a scene.

[Adol Refai]

I'm not making a scene. That's a really nice coat. How do you afford that coat?

[Aaron Kiche]

My ears are burning. Hi. Nice to meet you. My name is Mark Marinkish.

[JPC]

Wow.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, my God. You took the egg's last name. Hi. How do you do? Can you believe how much I look like your wife?

[JPC]

I took his last name.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Why did you assume his last name is Maren Kish?

[Aaron Kiche]

Just because you met my wife first doesn't mean.

[Adol Refai]

Why do I look exactly like this egg woman?

[Aaron Kiche]

See, I am the egg woman. Cuckoo kachu.

[JPC]

Okay, here's another warmup. Bertl. This is a warmup from Katie. Katie asks, what can you find in December that you can't find in any other month?

[Aaron Kiche]

Christmas.

[JPC]

A d. Christmas. And A D would be, I guess, what, Christmas in July.

[Aaron Kiche]

Two gifts.

[JPC]

That is correct. And then the second warmup is alone. This as fragile as tissue.

[Adol Refai]

Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm so sorry. You're moving so fast. I would like to see a scene.

[JPC]

Oh, okay. And these are just the warmups.

[Adol Refai]

I know, but we've called scenes just from bullshit at the beginning of an episode. You can call a scene on a warm up riddle. It holds.

[JPC]

You can? For sure. You're able to.

[Adol Refai]

Well then, great. I'm going to do it.

[Aaron Kiche]

Watch big sign in the back of Aaron's house that says we do call the scenes.

[Adol Refai]

Okay, here I go. Calling for a scene. JPC and adol. You guys are a couple. Adol, you have brought JPC home to meet your family for the first time over Christmas.

[JPC]

And.

[Adol Refai]

And everyone's exchanging gifts and jpc. You don't want to exchange your gift in front of everybody because your gift to adult is sex. But you have to give it. You have to tell him what a gift is for the whole family. Okay, who's next? Thank you guys so much for this. I needed a laptop so bad, by the way. I appreciate it.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah, and that's an Acer. And I'm told that they're really good. Margaret, for sort of what you do.

[Adol Refai]

Thank you so much. You're such a good brother. Who. Who wants to go next?

[JPC]

I can go. But just to say that I. Ravi, Ravi, Ravi, Ravi.

[Adol Refai]

We're so happy to have you here with the family.

[JPC]

I'm so happy to be here. It's my first time. I've totally misunderstood. I did not. I didn't actually.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, no, you're gonna be great, Robbie. You're gonna be great.

[JPC]

I know. No, I know that this is a

[Adol Refai]

hard holiday to come into, generally. And then also we obviously had a couple deaths in the family this year. But you love our brother so much and we're so grateful that you're here and we just cannot wait to see what you got him.

[JPC]

And I didn't get a gift is what I'm saying. So I brought no gift. Yes. So I will have to graciously, because again, I just didn't understand that we were. That it was gifts for everybody. Like this.

[Aaron Kiche]

Robbie, you have a big bow around your waist.

[Sandy]

What are you talking about?

[Aaron Kiche]

I didn't get a gift?

[Adol Refai]

Yeah, you said you had a big surprise.

[Aaron Kiche]

Is it under your robe?

[JPC]

So I put it.

[Aaron Kiche]

And you have a big box on your lap.

[JPC]

Put a bow around my waist to come to my boyfriend's. Family's Christmas and I didn't think it would come up. Uh huh.

[Adol Refai]

Is it a car? Is it a ring? Are you proposing?

[JPC]

No, it's not a ring. It is a. It is a bow on my waist belt. It is a belt. This is a used belt.

[Adol Refai]

He's a prankster. You told us he was a prankster, and he is.

[JPC]

It's actually Robbie.

[Adol Refai]

Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, Robbie.

[JPC]

I know that you're such a big fan of Kill Bill. This is David Carradine's belt.

[Adol Refai]

Are you calling an Uber right now?

[JPC]

No, I am.

[Adol Refai]

I can see you on your phone. You're calling an Uber.

[JPC]

I'm making sure no Ubers show up. Because sometimes Ubers just come.

[Adol Refai]

Only if you schedule them. Now you're checking it against the price of Lyft. What's going on?

[JPC]

So you can see just my whole phone, huh?

[Adol Refai]

Yeah. I'm standing right behind you and I'm looking.

[Aaron Kiche]

You're also casting it to the tv.

[JPC]

I am casting it to the tv, yes. That is what I am doing.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, the gifts on the phone. Are you surprising him with a trip or something?

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, there's gonna be, like, a picture of, like, French Polynesia.

[JPC]

Let's all stop guessing gifts. Cause that's right. That never ends up in a good place. Would we guess the gift that we would have received?

[Adol Refai]

I guessed that I was gonna get a laptop, and then I did that.

[JPC]

I mean, that's your brother, though. You've known each other for, like, 31 years, so it's like.

[Adol Refai]

No one knows him better than you, though. You guys are so in love.

[Aaron Kiche]

Speaking of guests, we. I guess we should throw the gifts that we had for Grandma and Uncle Charles in the fireplace because obviously they're not here with us.

[Adol Refai]

You're right. Symbolically.

[Aaron Kiche]

Symbolically. We should send them up the chimney.

[Adol Refai]

Don't catch me.

[JPC]

I've wanted to break up for four months. How do you break up with someone when every two months someone important to them dies? With who? Megan, you are stupid.

[Adol Refai]

I am. I just tried throwing this gift into the fire and you caught it.

[JPC]

You are stupid and rude.

[Adol Refai]

You're stupid and rude.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, my God, I wish we had not watched Meet the Fockers. I feel like this is. It's playing out exactly like that movie, right?

[Adol Refai]

Give him the gift.

[JPC]

How are we going to meet the Focker in law if we don't watch

[Adol Refai]

Meet the Fockers White Elephant? We get to steal any gift. So you give our brother your gift, and then if anyone wants to steal the Gift that you gave him. They can. That's the new rule, white elf.

[JPC]

You know what I was going to give Megan? You know what I was going to give your brother?

[Adol Refai]

What?

[JPC]

I was going to give him a blowjob. Hell yeah, I was going to give him a blow. Yeah. Hell yeah, it would have been great. I'll steal. No, Grandpa.

[Adol Refai]

Grandma's still warm in the ground.

[Aaron Kiche]

I'm still.

[JPC]

That's big. Like, I'll have what she's having.

[Adol Refai]

Can he stay forever?

[Aaron Kiche]

In coming to America, where Eddie Murphy gives those earrings and she's like, I can't accept them. Cause they're like $500,000 earrings. And then she gets off the train and then the old lady stands up, she goes, I'll marry you.

[JPC]

Okay, here's your second warmup. It's again still from Katie.

[Adol Refai]

And I can call a scene about this one too, if I want.

[JPC]

If you want to. If you choose to. Alone, it is as fragile as a tissue. Together, it can crush a small town. What am I,

[Aaron Kiche]

Godzilla? Godzillae Breath.

[JPC]

Oh, yeah. Because emotionally Godzilla's fragile tissue.

[Aaron Kiche]

Water.

[Sandy]

Alone.

[JPC]

Hold on. You trying to. Stubborn. Captain Planet with the five Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Godzilla.

[Aaron Kiche]

And Monkey. What was the monkey guy?

[JPC]

Heart.

[Aaron Kiche]

Heart, yes.

[JPC]

And honestly, there was no heart. They just wanted to hang out with the monkey, and he's the one that had it.

[Aaron Kiche]

I feel like Friends stole. I feel like Friends was like, we need a group of friends. Kind of like Captain Planet has, like, a group. And they're like, also, Captain Planet has a monkey. So maybe Rash should have a monkey.

[JPC]

And people don't talk about this a lot, but Earth had the Rachel.

[Adol Refai]

Somebody draw it. I'm dying to see it. That would unite the world if we just decided to give Earth the Rachel.

[JPC]

It's telling that we don't know what any of their names are. I can't say.

[Aaron Kiche]

His name is like, Matit or whatever Mati was.

[JPC]

Mati was heart. Right? Yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

And then the rest boy got into

[JPC]

my head, who knows? Alone, it is fragile as a tissue. Together it can crush a small town. What am I?

[Aaron Kiche]

Hmm. Okay. Is this like a letter of the Alphabet?

[JPC]

No, it's not a letter of the Alphabet.

[Adol Refai]

So the plural of this thing is the destructive thing?

[JPC]

Yeah, basically. Basically, yeah. One is very fragile, and a bunch of them could crush a small town. I mean, they could do more than that too. They could fuck up a big city as well.

[Aaron Kiche]

Is it some sort of monster?

[JPC]

It's not a monster, no. I would say it's very naturally occurring.

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay. Much like tornado. Tornado, Wind, Hurricane.

[Adol Refai]

Hurricane.

[JPC]

You're thinking mudslide.

[Adol Refai]

Mudslides.

[JPC]

Way too large scale, Aaron.

[Adol Refai]

Okay, rain.

[JPC]

Rain is close. Rain is close.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, sneeze clouds.

[JPC]

It's not clouds. It's not sneeze.

[Aaron Kiche]

Rain is close.

[Adol Refai]

Snow. Snowflake. Snowflake, Snowflake.

[JPC]

Yeah, Snowflake and snow. Exactly. You got it.

[Aaron Kiche]

Wow, good one.

[JPC]

That's a pretty good one. Maybe we haven't had that one before. I like that. And then. Oh, yeah, I want to do.

[Adol Refai]

I want to see a scene.

[JPC]

No, I got to do one final warm up riddle because this is.

[Adol Refai]

I can't even see scenes anymore.

[Aaron Kiche]

Hey, gpz, can I talk to you for a second?

[JPC]

Let's see it. Let's see it. Let's hear a scene.

[Aaron Kiche]

Can I talk to you for a second?

[JPC]

Yeah. What's up?

[Aaron Kiche]

I feel like Aaron wants to see a scene. I feel like you're really kind of policing her.

[JPC]

Sandy Adol. Did you ask Dying for us taking a second.

[Aaron Kiche]

Sweetie, give me a second.

[Adol Refai]

Did you ask him?

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay, yeah, give me a second. Get back in the car, please.

[Adol Refai]

Okay.

[Aaron Kiche]

Also, I feel like I don't. Can you. Can you just let her have a scene, please? Can you just let her have one scene?

[JPC]

Are you calling an Uber?

[Aaron Kiche]

No.

[JPC]

Are you calling while you're asking my fucking. She's in the car.

[Aaron Kiche]

Call your seat, please.

[Adol Refai]

I don't even want to see it anymore. I lost the momentum for it.

[JPC]

Yeah. Once the moment.

[Adol Refai]

Can I tell you what it would have been? And then. Yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yes.

[Adol Refai]

And then everyone can grieve that we never got to see it. I was going to say JBC year. Snowflake Adol. You're on a date with him and JBC is sort of bragging about how unique and different he is, but we're not going to see that scene.

[JPC]

Yeah, it would have been funny. That would have been really good. I like that scene.

[Adol Refai]

Maybe in a couple years.

[JPC]

I want one more warmup riddle. And. And I'm introducing a dangerous precedent in the show. And I just want to tell people if you submit riddles to the show, this is a one off. This is not something that I'm going to be entertaining in the future. TJ from Columbus sent us a riddle that is not a riddle, but they kind of reworked it into a riddle. So I'll give it to you.

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay.

[JPC]

And then I'll give you the answer probably. And then you could be like, well, this isn't a riddle, but it's kind of. It's kind of been reworked. So here we go TJ from Columbus. Thank you for sending this in. There once was a land filled with animals. The animals were just like humans are on Earth. They have jobs, they go to work, they drive around. Except for Nate the snake. Nate the snake was the nicest animal of all. He always lent a helping hand and offered up all of his earnings. To help out those less fortunate. Everyone loved Nate. In the middle of Nate's town, though, there was a lever. And if you pulled the lever, the world would end. So no one ever pulled the lever. But one day, a delivery driver, who knew how great Nate was. Came rushing in and was driving for the center of town. When he realized his brakes were out. Directly in front of him was the lever. He could swerve and hit Nate with his truck. Or he could hit the lever and end the world. What did the delivery driver do and why? Kind of like a trolley problem, except with Nate the snake and a lever in the middle of town.

[Adol Refai]

Is this just the plot of Zootopia 2?

[JPC]

This is kind of that.

[Aaron Kiche]

The reading of that immediately made me. It made me think so much of Dennis Hopper's thing on gorilla's demon days. Fire coming out of a monkey's head.

[JPC]

Oh, yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

Where it's like burnt. Burnt. He's like, one day the people went to the monkey. And the monkey met that whole little spiel.

[JPC]

God, Hopper was great, wasn't he? Hopper was great. I watched not too recently, but within the last couple of years. I watched Speed again. Hopper is so fucking good in speed.

[Aaron Kiche]

I thought you were talking about the movie. Hoppers was great.

[JPC]

I watched Hoppers on Speed and I was like, I know I'm on methamphetamines right now, but this movie is fucking good.

[Aaron Kiche]

Vanessa Bayer is a great white shark. Yes. What did the lever do? Do? Was that the question?

[Adol Refai]

The driver.

[JPC]

What did the delivery driver do and why.

[Aaron Kiche]

What did the delivery driver do and why he.

[Adol Refai]

This is a trick question.

[JPC]

It's not a trick question. It's not even a riddle.

[Aaron Kiche]

So, yeah. I'm confounded by the fact that you said you won't entertain this type of riddle again.

[JPC]

Well, I won't entertain things that are not riddles. Even if they're being presented as riddles.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah. So it was. What does a delivery driver do?

[JPC]

Who does he hit? Does he hit Nate or does he hit the lever?

[Adol Refai]

Oh, neither.

[JPC]

It's not neither. He definitely hits one of them.

[Aaron Kiche]

It's like the trolley problem.

[Adol Refai]

It's not.

[JPC]

It's kind of the trolley problem. It's not neither. And it's not both. So do you have a guess of a binary choice? Which one?

[Adol Refai]

He hits the snake.

[Aaron Kiche]

The lever.

[JPC]

He hits the snake. He hits Nate. But do we. Do we know why?

[Aaron Kiche]

No.

[JPC]

Okay, well, I'll just.

[Adol Refai]

Because he wanted to. Because he was gone.

[JPC]

The driver hit Nate. Of course. Because better Nate than lever.

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay, so I need to step away from my computer for one second.

[Adol Refai]

I love the fucking scene idea.

[Aaron Kiche]

I need to pull a Adam driver and marriage story and put a hole in my wall.

[Adol Refai]

I need to pull an Adam Driver in marriage story and cheat on my wife and then yell at her.

[Aaron Kiche]

I need to pull a Adam Driver in marriage story and walk out of a interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air.

[JPC]

Did you guys see that Adam driver? Apparently in Lena Dunham's new book, she accused him of aggressive behavior on set of Girls. And did you see that? He was asked about it and he was like, I have no comment about that. It's all gonna be in my book.

[Aaron Kiche]

Cool.

[Adol Refai]

Adam.

[JPC]

What? Who knows if he was joking? I'm assuming he was joking about the book. But also, it's just like, a. Just having, like, dirty laundry aired in, like, public is so funny to me. Like, it's just. This is, like. It's like, cartoonish, an actor's existence. Because a. There's the kind of actor who takes himself so seriously that he's like, oh, I'm playing a dick on the show. I gotta be a dick in real life. I'm like, that's. You know, it's all pretend. You don't have to do that. But then also just to be like, can you imagine if someone wrote something about you in a book and then you had to respond to that? You're like, oh, man, what is this life that I live? Like, yes, better Nate than lever. Again, not really a riddle, but what do you call one of those things, like a story with, like, a word joke at the end?

[Adol Refai]

Is that just a slap in the face? A sign of disrespect is what I call it.

[Aaron Kiche]

Listen, do I wish I had thought of it? Yeah.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

But do I enjoy it when it's posed at me? No.

[JPC]

I do want to see. Well, let's put that to the test. Let's put that to the test. Yes. I want to see a scene. Aaron, Here's a scene. So you are going to be telling adol one of these long, like, complicated story jokes that have, like, a lot of setup, but you. You do all the setup, but then you. You forget what the punchline of the story joke Is. And so you have to just try to, like, force whatever you. You have to force it.

[Adol Refai]

Great.

[Aaron Kiche]

So, Debbie, is it this exit or the next one?

[Adol Refai]

Hold on. It was right in the middle of the.

[Aaron Kiche]

Can you navigate, please? Debbie? Can you navigate?

[Adol Refai]

Yes. Okay, so. And you're going to love this. You're going to die over this. Okay. There's this woman, and her name is Susie, and she loves walking up the stairs, but not down. Okay?

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay.

[Adol Refai]

She moves in with her boyfriend. His name is Kevin, and he can only walk down the stairs.

[JPC]

Fuck.

[Aaron Kiche]

I think that. I think 83C was the exit.

[Adol Refai]

Neither of them can slide down a fire pole. Neither of them know how to ride the elevator or want to.

[Aaron Kiche]

Can I take. All right, I'm gonna take this shit. Am I good to merge? Am I good? Debbie? Am I good?

[Adol Refai]

So when they move. Moved in together, what kind of house did they choose to live in?

[Aaron Kiche]

Debbie. Oh, we're going to a tailspin.

[Adol Refai]

You just answer the question.

[Aaron Kiche]

I'm sorry. What? Sorry.

[Sandy]

What was it?

[Adol Refai]

Oh, shoot.

[Aaron Kiche]

Are you okay? We flipped upside down. Are you okay? I'm gonna cut my seat belt. And then I'm.

[Adol Refai]

I hit my head, and so I don't remember the answer to the.

[Aaron Kiche]

No, no. I want to hear the. Finish your thing. I feel like we need some levity.

[Adol Refai]

Who am I?

[Aaron Kiche]

Come on.

[Adol Refai]

Huh? Whoa. What. What am. What am. What am. What am I? Whoa.

[Aaron Kiche]

Debbie.

[JPC]

Oh, my God. Is everybody okay?

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Is everybody okay in here?

[Aaron Kiche]

A real gentle. We got. We were in a tailspin, and then.

[JPC]

I know. I saw.

[Aaron Kiche]

Very gentle tip. Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

I don't know who I am. Whoa. What are you.

[JPC]

I. I was driving behind you. You actually had your windows down, and I heard. I heard your name is Debbie and you were telling a story. It's like a. One of those, like, joke stories where Kevin liked to ride up the elevator and Susie only liked to take the stairs, and then. So does that. You're not hooked up to an EKG or anything. You're just scene. You're a person.

[Adol Refai]

I'm going to start doing that when men try to talk to me. And bump up your own flatline.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah, you should walk around with an EKG machine and turn it on if you get bored of a conversation.

[JPC]

Bam. If I could see your ticket, I could help guide you to your seat. Oh, Okay. I guess you've died.

[Adol Refai]

Last night, I was talking to Riley about how I want. I'm going to invent this technology, and then you guys can invest in the company. Are you ready?

[JPC]

Okay. Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

It's a mood ring. It's like one of those health rings that you wear. But, okay, so it's something. It's like an aura ring. And it's collecting sort of your mood. It knows when you're sweating. It knows when you get excited. It knows when you get scared.

[Aaron Kiche]

I know what I'm sweating.

[Adol Refai]

And then the lights.

[JPC]

Not always. Sometimes I stand up and go, holy shit. Did someone pour a glass of water

[Adol Refai]

down my back in your house. Are connected to that ring. Okay, so when. So, like, people always know how you're feeling. And then a couple, when they're having a fight, they can go like, okay, it looks. I know how you're feeling because.

[Aaron Kiche]

Looks like a strobe light.

[JPC]

Yeah, got it. So lights in my house are on and off, but. So you're positing that we have lights that have, like, what, Like a variety of colors?

[Adol Refai]

Colors. Dimmer dimmies and all that stuff. They can like, sort of flash.

[JPC]

Flashing.

[Adol Refai]

It's like a light show.

[JPC]

Yeah. My only fear, Aaron, is what is the emotion? I love it. What is the emotion that you feel when the lights are flashing? What is that emotion?

[Adol Refai]

Like panic.

[JPC]

Is that like panic? Okay. Cause here's the thing. If it's panic and the lights are flashing, I feel like I'm entering into a panic loop here.

[Adol Refai]

Or dancing or. Were you having fun dancing?

[JPC]

Oh, my God. Johnny, are you okay? Is everything okay? I'm just having fun dancing.

[Adol Refai]

No, I'm stressed and I'm dancing.

[Aaron Kiche]

Was that your EKG machine?

[Adol Refai]

Yeah, I feel like that'd be pretty cool.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah, that is very cool.

[JPC]

I like that. I do, like, piece of technology.

[Aaron Kiche]

I love that idea. And I also love JPC's idea of a opposite setting, which is the light fixtures will counterbalance your mood. So if you're stressed, they'll go to, like, a soft blue, softer.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, that's actually smarter than my idea.

[Aaron Kiche]

No, I think it's complimentary, but, yeah,

[Adol Refai]

that can be another setting on my light idea. But then if you.

[Aaron Kiche]

I was. Oops, you got peanut butter in my chocolating.

[Adol Refai]

Your ideas versus fantastic rear window situation where you can tell how all your neighbors feel. And if someone's house is just like this dark blue for so long and you're like, oh, I'm so sad that they're so depressed. And all of a sudden you see a light come on, you're like, oh, my God. Good for them.

[JPC]

And what about the same thing? It's like an OURA ring, but it's a collar for a dog, but it Also has a little speaker built into it. So depending on what your dog is feeling, like, you know, their heart rate

[Adol Refai]

and all that stuff you're inventing up

[JPC]

again, it tells you the dog's move. So you could. Like you're walking around your apartment and it's like, dog is horny. Dog is horny.

[Aaron Kiche]

That's. That's a direct line from up.

[Adol Refai]

I look over. You're wearing the collar.

[JPC]

I don't know, man.

[Adol Refai]

I don't know.

[JPC]

You gotta try it out for a second. This is really, really sensitive, huh? You must have the dowels turned way up.

[Adol Refai]

Dog is the sad kind of horny.

[JPC]

Have you ever had that painting? How long have you had that painting? Because that's a. Is that a new painting? Nude painting. Nude painting. Nude painting. Hey, speaking of nude paintings, we're gonna take a little break and then we're probably gonna be back with kind of the embodiment of a nude painting, our friend Sandy.

[Adol Refai]

Uh.

[JPC]

Oh, yeah. I don't know why I said it that way.

[Aaron Kiche]

Sandy, go ahead and disrobe in class. Go ahead.

[Adol Refai]

This sweater's so hot. Why am I wearing a sweater during the summer? Yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

Aaron pulls down sunglasses. Aaron, baby, get with the times. It's all right.

[Adol Refai]

Cool vibe.

[Aaron Kiche]

It's summer.

[Adol Refai]

Ish.

[Aaron Kiche]

Perhaps. And you have to go to Quint's to get some lightweight, breathable quints. Wearables.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, that sounds so nice. I love quints. Yeah.

[JPC]

Everything at Quint's is priced 50 to 80% less than similar brands. And they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup.

[Adol Refai]

Erin, Quint's goes way beyond clothing. They have custom upholstered sofas, ceramic cookware, premium bedding. It's the kind of brand you end up recommending to everyone for everything. I'm moving this summer and I have so many things favorited from Quint's. I want curtains from there. I want some of their kitchen stuff. Their rugs are unbelievable and priced so fairly.

[JPC]

Aaron. Aaron, you said you had something really important to talk to us about, and this is that.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, yes. Yes. 91% of dog parents say their pup is an important member of the family. And 40% would even save their dog over a human stranger. Safe to say people are obsessed, and I'm one of them.

But she is so excited for dinner time since we switched to Ollie.

[Aaron Kiche]

Look at the beret.

[JPC]

Guys, I wish it weren't true, but it's her voice. Hey everybody. JPC here and I want to talk to you about Rocket Money, but I couldn't do it without my two friends, Adol. What's up Adol And Aaron. What's going on, Aaron?

[Adol Refai]

Ew.

[JPC]

Haha. Classic. Classic you guys. Anyway, Rocket Money, let's talk about it. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that is going to help you get your life together. Rocket Money can track subscriptions and has the ability to cancel unwanted ones within the app with just a few taps, saving users over 880 million in canceled subscriptions.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yes. Yes.

[Sandy]

Yes, yes, yes.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yes.

[Adol Refai]

Guys, I have some pretty exciting news to share with you.

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay.

[Adol Refai]

You know how you said I'm not normally allowed to invite friends over to the podcast because we make a mess of the place and leave pizza boxes around and drink all your booze.

[Aaron Kiche]

Never do dishes.

[Adol Refai]

Never do dishes. Change the locks, leave crumbs everywhere. Change the locks. Repaint the place. Move the furniture. Scratch the place.

[Aaron Kiche]

Rename the pets.

[Adol Refai]

Rename the pets. Adol. Thank you for remembering the most fun thing I do well.

[JPC]

Repaint the pets. Rename the furniture. Hi. This is a chair. Now.

[Adol Refai]

Uh huh.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Adol Refai]

Brought a guest. But this one is good. This one you'll like. This one doesn't make a mess. This one is the best of us.

[JPC]

Who?

[Sandy]

Where is he?

[Adol Refai]

Yeah. Oh, he can come. But Sandy's here. No, Sandy, you are the best.

[Sandy]

Oh, thank you. Tell me about this pet renaming business. Because if I knew you could do that, I would go to a lot more parties.

[Adol Refai]

Yes. You give me one martini and then I just sort of start screaming about what I would rename your pet.

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay. And Aaron renamed my cat Martini.

[Adol Refai]

Yes, because I was drinking a martini.

[Sandy]

Your cats have great names.

[Aaron Kiche]

My cats?

[Sandy]

Yeah.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

Thank you. They're all food or drinks. Yes.

[JPC]

Aaron's like the equivalent of the sorting hat. You kind of just bring her to your party and eventually she'll touch your shoulder and be like, better be Theresa.

[Adol Refai]

Better be.

[Sandy]

So what would you name my dog? I know you haven't met her, Ruffles, but her name is Cleo. Now what was it?

[Adol Refai]

Ruffles? Rumbles, Rubles.

[Sandy]

Rumbles

[Adol Refai]

Rubles.

[Sandy]

Because she's Russian.

[JPC]

She's always Russian.

[Sandy]

She does move fast.

[JPC]

What kind of dog?

[Sandy]

She's a standard poodle. She's a small standard. She's £40. Yeah. Her name is Cleo. We got her when she was a year old, which meant someone had already trained her, which means we have the best behaved dog and everyone gets all these compliments and we take them.

[Adol Refai]

All right.

[Sandy]

We had nothing to do with it.

[Adol Refai]

I'm going to rename your dog. I'm going to make her name longer and make her Name Cleo from 5 to 7, which is a French movie that is quite good. Haven't seen that on your letterboxd.

[Sandy]

No, I've never heard of it. Cleo from five to seven.

[Adol Refai]

Is it? Yeah. It's one of my boyfriend's favorite movies ever. It's truly fantastic.

[Sandy]

Wait, how many boyfriends do you have?

[Adol Refai]

One.

[JPC]

One of my boyfriends.

[Adol Refai]

Four, five.

[JPC]

Apostrophe six.

[Adol Refai]

Seven.

[JPC]

Have we talked. We must have talked about Cleo on the show before because we certainly have talked about how your son is Ezra, better than Ezra, and your dog is Cleo. Letters to Cleo.

[Sandy]

Letters to Cleo. Yes, yes. That's as far as it goes. As far as 90s indie band humor in our house.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Sandy]

90s.

[JPC]

2000s, we'll say 90s. That's fine.

[Sandy]

That's fine. Clea from five to seven. 1962 starring distracted by a Woman, Luca Dard.

[Adol Refai]

And it is truly incredible. I have to recommend it. And that is your dog's new name. Who's up next? I. Stop hiding your cast behind you.

[JPC]

Anyone who their favorite movie is from 62 hasn't seen a lot of Mission Impossible movies. I've just got to say that. I'm just gotta say that.

[Adol Refai]

I'm just gotta say that.

[Sandy]

Well, since we're done talking about my dog, I only have one pet to rename. I'm afraid I have two kids if you want to do them.

[Adol Refai]

But I like them just the way they are.

[Sandy]

It might be a little confusing.

[Aaron Kiche]

Less than Jake and Jesus Christ.

[Adol Refai]

What's another French movie?

[Aaron Kiche]

Sorry, Less than Jacques.

[JPC]

Less than Jacques.

[Sandy]

Eight and a half.

[Aaron Kiche]

No.

[Sandy]

Is that French?

[Adol Refai]

I think that's Italian.

[Sandy]

Italian, yeah.

[JPC]

And also, you don't want to name a kid after that movie.

[Sandy]

Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, yes, perfect, perfect.

[Sandy]

A French. I'll call him Umbrella.

[Adol Refai]

Yep.

[JPC]

Umbrelli, this is my daughter, Umbrella.

[Adol Refai]

Umbrella is a cute name.

[Sandy]

Well, her name is Zella, so it's close.

[Aaron Kiche]

You can say an under Zella of Brazella. All right.

[Sandy]

Well, I brought some riddles for you today, similar to what I did back in December in honor of Father's Day. I think I thought I'd bring them back. These are basically dad jokes.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, fun, love. Okay. Adults have fun. Good luck. I think I said this last time, too.

[Sandy]

I'm gonna give you two things and you tell me what they have in common. So the example from last time, which I will say now again, is what does a mountain climber and a stoner have in common? Do you remember?

[Adol Refai]

They're both high. They like to get high.

[Sandy]

They both like to get high. Exactly.

[Aaron Kiche]

That's it.

[Sandy]

That's the whole thing. Let's keep going and see how well we can do. Or if we could come up with more of our own. What does a bakery and someone who makes money in it have in common?

[JPC]

Okay, Bakery. Someone who makes money in it.

[Adol Refai]

Pie bites.

[Sandy]

You got to think of words that have to do with making money. That can mean making money or involve

[Aaron Kiche]

a bakery earning bread.

[Sandy]

Oh, bread's not bad. There's other words too.

[JPC]

Wait. They work in it.

[Sandy]

They make money in it. They work in it. And they earn money that way. Yeah.

[JPC]

Okay. Boards. Cutting boards. And keyboards. Motherboard.

[Sandy]

Bread is close. What is bread? Before it's bread. Another word for money.

[Adol Refai]

Dough.

[Aaron Kiche]

Earned dough.

[Sandy]

So a certain kind of dough would reflect something that involves computers. What kind of dough?

[JPC]

A certain kind of dough involves computers.

[Sandy]

Certain kind of dough is a word that's Also used in IT and computers. What's the word that goes before dough in terms of flavors? Sourdough's type. It's not right.

[JPC]

Sourdough. Play doh. Play doh. Comes in almost every flavor.

[Sandy]

Put that in a bakery, I would hope.

[Adol Refai]

Do not eat Play doh. Is that why you are the way you are?

[Sandy]

What is the kind of dough you do like to eat?

[Adol Refai]

Cookie.

[JPC]

Okay. Cookie chip.

[Aaron Kiche]

Chip dough. They delete cookies.

[Sandy]

Oh, cookies. You have cookies in it on your computer.

[Adol Refai]

All right.

[JPC]

Oh, God. Yeah, you do. He's.

[Aaron Kiche]

Hey, did you have to call it to delete cookies? You're doing something.

[Sandy]

I don't say anything. They make cookie dough. Listen, if you don't like it, blame your father. It's Father's Day. What's.

[JPC]

Can I tell you a brief IT story? My last office job. Job that I worked with. I always think if you do work in an office where they have an IT department, it's always good to get in with the IT department because they can kind of save your bacon sometimes if they like you or they just.

[Sandy]

I wouldn't go to bakery that had bacon.

[JPC]

Yeah, they'll prioritize you. But I was pretty tight with the IT people at my work. But one time I was in there chatting with one of the IT people. I can't remember what I was going in there for, but someone else came in, like a higher up executive, and they were like, I can't get into my laptop. Something's wrong with my laptop. And they just, like, dropped their laptop and left. And the IT person, while we were talking, like, opened up the laptop and on their laptop, I kid you not, when you opened it up, there was a little sticky note with that said password. And then it had their password, like, written down on the laptop. And I looked at the IT guy who was just, like, crestfallen, and he looked at me and he goes, sometimes I hate my job.

[Adol Refai]

That's so funny.

[Sandy]

One of the emails in the Epstein files is Jeffrey Epstein emailing a tech support with his passwords in plain text. Very smart OPSEC from those guys.

[JPC]

So good.

[Aaron Kiche]

And of course, we know by now there's been a lot of consequences from that.

[Sandy]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We all know that.

[JPC]

Yes, yes, yes. We're here in June, on the other side. Thank God the world's good.

Against grain.

[JPC]

[Sandy]

What about a lopsided tennis match and someone excited about getting over the hill?

It's all love, baby.

[JPC]

[Adol Refai]

[JPC]

Loving being 50. 50 love 50.

[Sandy]

Try to make it exact. Try to make it correct about tennis, and then I'll give it to you.

[Adol Refai]

Try to make it correct. That doesn't sound like me. I don't want to do that.

[Sandy]

I was talking to crumb picker.

[JPC]

Do you say 50 love or do you say love?

[Sandy]

There's no 50.

[JPC]

40 love.

[Sandy]

40 love. Over the hill means turning 40.

[Adol Refai]

Oh.

[Sandy]

Oh.

[JPC]

I didn't know that over the hill meant, like, specifically 40.

[Sandy]

Yeah, that's what I remember from my parents. Turning 40 is that it was over the hills. Was 40. Is that not right?

[Adol Refai]

No, it might be.

[Aaron Kiche]

I don't know.

[Adol Refai]

Sounds right.

[Sandy]

Over the hill.

[Aaron Kiche]

You're the one with horse sense.

[Sandy]

No, you're the one who's falling down this hill.

[JPC]

I remember my answer.

[Sandy]

No, you're right. It doesn't literally say it on the over the hill. 40 or 50. The phrase over the hill is used humorously. Oh, gosh. For both 40 and 50. Okay, there you go.

[Aaron Kiche]

Interesting.

[JPC]

I remember there was, like, a gag gift when I was growing up that my Aunts and uncles and their spouses, like, whatever. The whole thing. Whenever it was a ball gag, I remember it was a ball gag. It was like a gag gift that every year Whoever turned like, 40 for, like, Christmas would get, and they would, like, keep gifting it to each other. And it was like a mug, I think. But I don't remember if it said over the hill or if it said, like, flirty 30 and 40, or, you know, one of those fucking things. I can't remember.

[Adol Refai]

But 40, flirty and 30.

[JPC]

It was that 40. They got their Temu.

[Sandy]

Forney and Horny.

[Adol Refai]

[Adol Refai]

Oh, yeah. We'll have virtual cakes.

[Aaron Kiche]

E cakes.

[JPC]

Yeah. Look at you. This is Forney and horny.

[Sandy]

What about the. What does a good listener have in common with Midwestern fields?

[Aaron Kiche]

All ears.

[Sandy]

Oh, wow.

[JPC]

Wow.

[Sandy]

He got you the downstater. Picked that one up right away.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

Incredible.

[Sandy]

How about the bank of England and an animal shelter's record keeper,

[JPC]

A magister.

[Aaron Kiche]

They're both going to Pound Town.

[JPC]

Pound Town.

[Sandy]

Well, you're on the way. Yeah, yeah.

[JPC]

Pound has gotta be pound town.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, they run up. Yes. They run a pound they.

[Sandy]

I mean, I guess I could say London and the site of an orgy is pound town. But that's not the clue we're given here. This is the bank of England.

[Adol Refai]

Still fun, though.

[Sandy]

Still fun.

[Aaron Kiche]

The last time I was in.

[Sandy]

Next time you go. The last time you were in orgy, you walked in, you're like, am I in London? Because this is downtown.

[Adol Refai]

And they go, please leave. And you go, of course, of course.

[Aaron Kiche]

So sorry. So sorry. The last time I was in London, Gemma and I did find a. Was it Pound Town? It was like their dollar store and it was called, like, Pound Town or Pound Village or something. And we just kept taking pictures of the sign because we're like, is anyone else seeing this? Am I crazy?

[Sandy]

That's what British people do when they come to America and they find a come and go.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[JPC]

That's what people from America do when they find a come and go. You're right. They're like, what? We still call it this. Did we get it? Was it Pound town?

[Sandy]

It's not pound town. It's a word that describes, like, records

[JPC]

or pound broker, pound keeper.

[Sandy]

It's a word that's also used to describe currency.

[Aaron Kiche]

So pound blank, changer, pound conversion, pound.

[Sandy]

I mean, this is not nearly as good as pound town. We should stop and go on to the next one. This is pound notes.

[JPC]

Pound notes. Okay.

[Sandy]

Pound notes. Yeah, they call nuts. How about a fake crier? And multi level zoos. This is. Now we're getting to shit.

[Adol Refai]

Crocodile tears.

[Sandy]

You got it.

[JPC]

Nice.

[Sandy]

Crocodile tears, Aaron.

[Adol Refai]

That was. I'm really glad I got one. That was good for morale.

[JPC]

What did Zany give crocodile tears on letterbox?

[Sandy]

Next time you're at the zoo,

[Adol Refai]

start

[Sandy]

crying in front of the crocodile exhibit and be like, I think they should be on multi levels. And they'll be like, what are you talking about? You're like, crocodile tears. And then they'll kick you out.

[Adol Refai]

And they go, please leave. And you go, yep, I got kicked out of that orgyl. I got kicked out of the zoo. I'm fine. Everything's.

[JPC]

I haven't found the right place for me yet, but when I do, I'll know.

[Sandy]

Yeah, how about someone?

[JPC]

And if you don't keep trying, you'll never find it.

[Sandy]

Someone walking the plank. And someone gilding the lily.

[JPC]

Walking the plank.

[Sandy]

Also, this one's not even that much of a difference in meaning. One is just an exaggerated form of the other or colloquial form of the other.

[JPC]

Is it just like, tread carefully?

[Sandy]

No. When you walk the plank, what happens next? Fall in the water and that means you are dead. You've gone overboard to the fishes.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, overboard.

[Adol Refai]

Going overboard.

[Sandy]

You gild the lily.

[JPC]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

Is that what the lily means?

[Sandy]

Good Lily means to add more flourish to something that doesn't need it.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, okay.

[JPC]

I know. It is a 1999 Disney family comedy starring the Lawrence brothers.

[Aaron Kiche]

I thought Adam Sandler's first movie was called Going Overboard.

[Sandy]

There's a movie called Overboard starring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawk.

[Adol Refai]

It's great.

[Sandy]

Which is great.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yeah.

[Sandy]

No, it's great. And they remade it, unfortunately, with I think Anna Faris and someone else.

[JPC]

Fun fact about you're thinking Going overboard. Adol. Right? Going overboard.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, going overboard.

[JPC]

Yeah.

[Sandy]

What's that?

[JPC]

I remember the DVD or vhs, whatever cover is Adam Sandler going like, huh? Like. And he's got like swim floaties on. Yeah, that's. I've never seen that movie.

[Aaron Kiche]

Same. Never will.

[Sandy]

No, never seen that one either. But it's on my list. I got a long list of movies to catch up on for my next visit to you guys.

[Aaron Kiche]

Okay.

[Sandy]

I've got a couple more.

[JPC]

Okay.

[Sandy]

A jet Plane and a young prince's art project.

[JPC]

A jet plane and a young prince's art project.

[Aaron Kiche]

They both have darling Nikki's neom.

[JPC]

Jet plane is.

[Sandy]

What's a word that is when you are doing kids doing an art project, we call that a mess. It is a kind of another word for art project. What kind of project?

[Adol Refai]

It is diorama.

[Sandy]

It goes with the word art.

[JPC]

Poison art.

[Sandy]

Arts and crafts.

[JPC]

Craft.

[Sandy]

So it's a kind of craft. So now go back to aircraft.

[Aaron Kiche]

Oh, aircraft. H E I R. Aircraft.

[JPC]

Aircraft. I forgot the nice one. Some of these could be the homophones

[Sandy]

or whatever you forgot JPC about the homophones.

[Aaron Kiche]

I just got crocodile tears.

[JPC]

I know, I know.

[Sandy]

All right, two more. What's the difference between. Or what's in common between a query and a congressional hearing about Facebook.

[Aaron Kiche]

And Sandy, I would love if you sign up for, like, an open mic standup set and just do these. Hey, everybody, what's the difference between a. And then make them solve it. And they're like, what? Honey, get a pen of paper.

[JPC]

A query and a congressional hearing about Facebook.

[Sandy]

Mm. You're gonna love this one.

[JPC]

Okay, so like, query is like ask or question or what comes at the end of search?

[Aaron Kiche]

Question mark.

[Sandy]

Question marks.

[Aaron Kiche]

They both question marks.

[Sandy]

They both question marks.

[Adol Refai]

They both question marks. That's incredible.

[Aaron Kiche]

Very good one, Sandy.

[Sandy]

I'm so sorry. And finally, Frodo Baggins. And this very real thing I'm about to describe. The bell that freezes everyone in a shopping center.

[JPC]

The bell that freezes everyone in a shock.

[Aaron Kiche]

Something about rings they both have. Powerful rings. They both have.

[Sandy]

It is about a ring, correct?

[JPC]

Ring of power.

[Sandy]

What does the ring do?

[Aaron Kiche]

Makes you invisible.

[Sandy]

Well, there's a phrase in play here.

[JPC]

A phrase from Lord of the Rings.

[Adol Refai]

One ring.

[Aaron Kiche]

One ring to rule them all, My precious. One ring to rule them all.

[Sandy]

To rule them all.

[JPC]

The male. Oh, I got too caught up. I got too caught up.

[Sandy]

And here is that ring.

[JPC]

No.

[Sandy]

You should all freeze now.

[JPC]

I thought that the mall freezing ring thing was a property that I was like, I'm not familiar with what this is.

[Sandy]

You forgot everything you learned about mall freezing rings in college? Yeah. Freeze the mall.

[Aaron Kiche]

Hop behind this Orange Julius counter. Go to B. Dalton real quick.

[Sandy]

God. Oh, my God. This is like visceral memories from roaming malls as a kid.

[JPC]

Ah, the Roman malls. Orange Julius.

[Aaron Kiche]

Julius. These are, of course.

[JPC]

And one more Roman mall joke.

[Aaron Kiche]

The Barnes and Nobles, please gather round. Neiman Marcus Aurelius.

[Adol Refai]

Oh, holy fuck. He's got goosebumps.

[JPC]

Roman balls. Feels like A throwaway joke from, like, a Mel Brooks, like, movie where it's like a store that's just called Columns and all they sell is Columns.

[Aaron Kiche]

Well, Sandy, thank you so much. This was a goddamn delight.

[Sandy]

You're welcome.

[Adol Refai]

An honor to have you back.

[Sandy]

Thanks for having me. It's been fun.

[Adol Refai]

We're lucky. We're lucky.

[JPC]

Where can people find you, Sandy? What do you got to plug? What's going on in your neck of the woods?

[Sandy]

I am still doing rattle. Yeah, still doing Rattle at rattle quest or rattlerattle.com and I also run my company called the Mystery League, which is for corporate team building and other puzzle adventures and other things that are fun. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. And right now I'm probably on a beach somewhere, so don't ring me.

[Adol Refai]

All right.

[JPC]

So if you see a guy on a beach walking up to you, I

[Sandy]

just mean part of me on as a beach, because I'm on every beach.

[JPC]

Sandy, sometimes if you put your ear to the beach, you could hear someone being like, what does a.

[Sandy]

You can hear a riddle.

[JPC]

My God, a blind horse have in common with a soup that's too hot?

[Aaron Kiche]

They're both inedible.

[JPC]

They're both inedible. All right. Bye, Sandy.

[Sandy]

Bye.

[JPC]

Okay, what else? What are we plugging? Aaron, do you have anything to plug?

[Adol Refai]

Yes, in a couple weeks, a little less than two weeks, I have my next quality time show here in la. I have met so many really kind, funny, hey, Riddle. Riddle listeners at these shows. A lot of people from out of town that will swing by and say hello and it means a lot. It's a variety show. You can find us at quality time on Instagram if you want a ticket and if you want a comp also reach out to me and I can sort that out for you. I have anything to plug.

[JPC]

Free show.

[Aaron Kiche]

Yes, I want to plug the TV show Widow's Bay. I've been enjoying a great deal. I think it's incredible. So please check out Widow's Bay on Apple tv. I also based on TJ sending us that great fun little outlier from Columbus. If you're ever in Columbus, check out Cosi Children's Museum and also my uncle Nasser's restaurant fur Dos. I don't know if it's still open. I haven't talked to my uncle Nasser in 30 years. 28. 30 years.

[Adol Refai]

Worth a shot.

[Aaron Kiche]

When I. When I lived in Columbus.

[JPC]

Check on him, see if he's still alive too. He's called for uncle.

[Aaron Kiche]

He had that restaurant for Dos Middle East.

[JPC]

Can I ask a question about the restaurant at all? Can I eat there if it's just me or does it have to be Frados?

[Aaron Kiche]

It's Middle Eastern food for Mexican couples.

[JPC]

Can that be our new tagline? Hey, Riddle, Riddle. Middle Eastern food for Mexican couples.

[Aaron Kiche]

Table for Dose jbc. Is there anything you'd like to plug or promote?

[JPC]

Yeah, well, the first thing I'd like to plug is my buddy Adol or Fi just had a big birthday. Happy birthday, Adol.

[Aaron Kiche]

Thank you so much.

[JPC]

The only reason that we forgot to mention it is because it hasn't happened yet. But when this episode comes out, it will have been your birthday. So happy birthday, man. And anything else that I want to plug. Oh, yeah, listen to Gumshoes and Dragons. That's a fun show. Us and Anthony Burch doing adventures Columbo style. And then I want to read a review. This is a review from Liz. Permission to use my name, which is a great, A great title for your name. And it's a five star review. It says if I could give zero stars, I would. I recently started watching Veep for the first time, so I was excited to hear that the hilarious Tony Hale was going to be the guest on the most recent episode. However, I was completely taken aback at the amount of spoilers. Erin said her favorite scene in Veep was when Selina finds out she's going to be president. I go home tonight. And the next episode up was season two, episode nine, Crate, wherein Selina finds out she's going to be president. This unabashed spoiler is egregious. It's basic human decency to allow a reasonable amount of time for the average person to see a piece of media without publicly spoiling it for everyone. Rude. That show came out in 2012. Ten years is more than enough time.

[Aaron Kiche]

I can't believe a TV show about a vice president has. That has them becoming president.

[JPC]

That's a wild plot line. That is a wild plot line.

[Adol Refai]

No, I hear you. I hear you. And now we spoiled it again for more people.

[JPC]

Well, that person spoiled it in their review. Yeah, complaining about this hurt people.

[Adol Refai]

Hurt people.

[Aaron Kiche]

Casey, can you beep out? I said Widow's Bay is good. Can you beep out good? Because that.

[JPC]

That's a. Yeah.

[Aaron Kiche]

Because then people are gonna watch and be like, fuck, that was. That was great.

[Adol Refai]

Can you be both? That JPC is a demon.

[JPC]

They said Widow's Bay is some slur that they couldn't say on the podcast.

[Adol Refai]

Hot dogs. Hot dogs. Hot dogs. Hot dogs. Hot dogs.

[JPC]

Starring Aaron Keenan and John Patrick Cohen. Casey Tony did the editing and Artie Paris in the music logo created by Emily Cardamus and Emily Naporus. Oh, my God. Wait. We have to wish Adel a happy birthday. It was his birthday two days ago.

[Adol Refai]

It's a birthday. Two days ago. It's a birthday.

[JPC]

Hold on, hold on. We actually. We have to work it into a

[Adol Refai]

plug, but yeah, no, just drop that anywhere.

[JPC]
