C (2:16)

Okay.

B (2:17)

You're Mr. Rhyme Time.

A (2:19)

You know, Coming to you, hat in hand. Sorry. Bat in hand.

B (2:23)

Huh?

A (2:24)

Sorry.

B (2:25)

Holding bat over crotch because someone stole all of our clothes.

C (2:30)

Really stretching those wings out.

B (2:33)

Three card. We got three card full monty.

A (2:37)

A lot happened before you logged on.

B (2:40)

Do you know a single right card?

C (2:42)

And then you have to go work at a factory. But then.

A (2:44)

Yeah, y.

B (2:45)

You got it.

A (2:46)

You gotta.

B (2:46)

And fill in the rest. Okay. Yadda yadda, yadda. Do you know a single word that rhymes with 10th?

C (2:53)

Fence.

B (2:55)

Damn. Why didn't we think of fence? Huh?

C (2:57)

Fence.

B (2:58)

Huh?

A (3:00)

I knew he'd know it. I knew it mentioned.

C (3:03)

These are all slant rhymes. Yeah, I.

B (3:06)

What did we come up with, Aaron? You had something, didn't you?

A (3:09)

I said bedenth, but you just want to hear me say something stupid again.

B (3:13)

I honestly couldn't remember if you had something good.

A (3:16)

No.

B (3:17)

But now that I'm hearing bedenth, I do regret asking about it.

A (3:20)

Well, I think that there's maybe. Is there any short word that. Like enth. Nth.

B (3:26)

I went to rhyme zone and I said, what is a word that rhymes with 10th? And one of the answers that it told me was 1/10. And I said, rhyme zone.

A (3:35)

Rhyme zone.

B (3:36)

Hold out your wrists. You get a little whack on the wrist with a ruler for being a scamp.

A (3:43)

Well, I'm bad at rhyming, so that's my excuse.

B (3:48)

Well, I think. Aaron, there is no excuse. Slash, you don't need an excuse, because I don't think there's a single word that rhymes with tenth.

A (3:55)

Well, right into the show, we want only handwritten letters about this matter. So if you can think of a rhyme, just get a postcard, put it on there, we'll read it.

C (4:06)

I feel like if it was. It was in a rap, it would be like someone would say menth, and then it would carry over to the next lyric and say thal. Like menthol.

B (4:18)

Yeah. 10th, 10th. All. You could be like menthol, you know? Yeah.

A (4:22)

10Th, fall.

B (4:24)

November 10th. Fall. Smoking menthol. Yeah.

C (4:28)

There you go.

A (4:28)

Yeah.

B (4:29)

Okay.

C (4:29)

Okay.

B (4:30)

November 10th. Aaron, it was your. Just your happy. It was just your happy birthday.

A (4:36)

First time on earth.

B (4:38)

It was just your happy birthday. While Erin. I just wanted to say it's a little late, but happy birthday.

A (4:48)

They've been ignoring me all month. Yes. I love a birthday. The older I get, actually, the more I'm liking my birthday. I didn't love it when I was younger, but I like it.

B (5:00)

Didn't you say one second before we started recording that you didn't care about your birthday and you would.

A (5:06)

Well, I don't really care. Well, that's what I think. That's what makes me like it again.

B (5:09)

Okay.

A (5:10)

I just. There's no pressure on it. I don't really make plans for it.

B (5:13)

Sure.

A (5:14)

Like, I. I think when you get to a certain Age, you don't have to be stressed about people singing to you anymore. So I'm in the good zone. Yeah, I'm chilling.

B (5:24)

I realized that about me myself, I don't care about a birthday. But then now that I have a kid, I'm like, well, they won't care about their birthday unless I like tell them that it's something to care about. Right? Like, I'm like, they're not gonna be like, no party. I'm like, year two, what do you think a party is? Dumbass. So I have to like, I have to. I have to like throw birthdays again. Which I haven't done in like years. Decades. Which is, which is wild.

A (5:53)

So now I'm like, is there any more fun?

B (5:57)

It's great because my kid doesn't have like any friends. So it's like their birthday party. It's like all my friends come over until they're a little older and they can get own damn friends. It's like I'm throwing them my birthday party.

A (6:08)

Do you think your friends are gonna start being offended once your kids parties morph from your friends to their friends? Like, do you think that like Aaron Udyk's gonna be at the door being like, what are you guys doing? Are you eating pizza? Is there something fun happening in there?

B (6:22)

Everybody's just happy to have nothing to do on look, a Saturday. I think everybody's gonna be just happy to have a nap. And I'm happy to get more use out of the Deadpool costume I bought last year. Because the theme for the second birthday is also going to be Deadpool.

C (6:36)

What?

B (6:38)

Until they are old enough to complain about the theme for all of their birthday parties being Deadpool. It's Deadpool, baby.

A (6:44)

They're not gonna know why they're talking to their therapist so much about Deadpool until they go like, oh my gosh. I was going through old photos and guess what I found?

C (6:52)

Can their third party be Deadpool and Wolverine?

B (6:55)

I guess so, because that's thematically appropriate.

C (6:57)

Yeah.

B (6:58)

But also, no. It'll just be Deadpool. Yeah. Aaron, also, if you want me to throw you a birthday party and you, it'll be late, obviously. And you want the theme to be Deadpool, I'm happy to do it. I'm really good at throwing Deadpool themed birthday parties.

A (7:10)

I think I'm good for this year.

B (7:12)

You're good for this year. Okay, cool.

A (7:13)

Maybe next year.

B (7:14)

Put it in my back pocket. Hey, Adel. Aaron. Ask any small business owner and what'll they say? They'll tell you that finances get messy quick. A bank account here, Quickbooks there. Tax and invoicing apps stacked on top. Before long, you're buried in expensive tools, behind on books and unsure where your business really stands. That's why there's Found.

A (7:38)

Oh, thank goodness. You were talking about that and I was like, that sounds so stressful. And it doesn't seem like there's a solution, but I guess there is. Yeah.

C (7:44)

Found eliminates the clutter by giving you one platform that handles it all. Banking, bookkeeping, invoices, taxes. No more paying for multiple subscriptions and dealing with clunky, outdated apps.

B (7:56)

Boring.

C (7:56)

Bleh barf. Outdated apps.

A (7:58)

They've automated things like tracking expenses, finding write offs, and budgeting for tax time. You can even send invoices for free and pay your contractors everything from one app.

B (8:09)

Yeah. Prior to finding Found, I was actually using an app called Lost. And I gotta say, this is a terrible app for banking. You would constantly log in and they'd be like, oops, sorry. There'd be like a little shrugging emoticon of a person who lost all of your finances. They never kept records. They had a little button that was record shredding, but it was right next to the login button. So sometimes you would just shred your entire account when you were trying to log in.

A (8:34)

That's so scary, Mr. JPC sir.

C (8:37)

Yeah, Mr. JPC. Don't use lost.

A (8:39)

Use Found.

B (8:41)

One thing that I love about Found is that it automatically tracks expenses, which means that I no longer have to carve out time every week. And believe me, I was doing this every week where I could have spent that time on something much more important to go through my purchases and make sure everything is accounted for. Ugh. Found fixes it. Honestly, I use Found and you should too. If I could go back to when we were starting. Hey, Riddle, Riddle. Found would have saved me so much time, so much effort, and so much needless data entry that I wish that I could not have done. I love Found.

C (9:09)

Take back control of your business today. Open a Found account for free@found.com. that's f o u n d dot com. Found is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services are provided by lead bank member fdic. Join the hundreds of thousands who've already streamlined their finances with found. Not lost.

A (9:29)

Thank you, Mr. JPC sir.

C (9:31)

Thank you, Mr. Jpc sir.

B (9:32)

People thanking me.

C (9:35)

And I had just settled down for a long winter's nap. End of story.

A (9:41)

But what mattress were you sleeping in?

B (9:43)

Yeah, Mr. Attle. What mattress? What mattress?

C (9:46)

Oh, Kids, the only mattress I would take a long winter's nap in, which is a Helix mattress. Have you hear?

B (9:54)

Yay.

C (9:56)

Do you kids like Helix?

B (9:57)

I took the Helix sleep quiz and it was the only quiz I didn't flunk all year long.

C (10:01)

Oh, yikes. Jeremiah, we gotta. We gotta get you studying.

B (10:05)

No. It matches you with the perfect mattress based on your personal preferences and sleep needs. And it makes buying a mattress easy. Mr. Adel.

A (10:12)

Mr. Adel, Helix is the most awarded mattress brand tested and reviewed by experts like Forbes and Wired.

C (10:19)

Oh, yeah. I mean, I used to toss and turn in my sleep until I got a Helix, and now I sleep like a log. I would say sleep like a baby, but from what I know, babies don't sleep terribly well. So I like to say sleep like a log.

A (10:31)

Pulling on your sleeve. Pulling on your sleeve.

C (10:33)

Ow.

A (10:33)

Mr. Adelster, I have a midnight luxe and they delivered my mattress right to my door with free shipping inside the.

C (10:39)

U.S. yeah, I have a midnight luxe. It's not a contest.

A (10:42)

Pulling on your sleeve. Pulling on your sleeve.

C (10:43)

Ow. Stop pulling on my tattoos.

B (10:45)

Maybe you could say like sleep like a toddler, because my toddler sleeps for like 12 hours at a time. But then I know that not all toddlers do that, so I don't want to make it seem like I'm bragging.

C (10:54)

Mr. Adam, do you have a toddler?

B (10:55)

I'm a grown man.

C (10:57)

Wait, are you both adults?

A (10:59)

They have a Happy with Helix guarantee. You can rest easy with seamless returns and exchanges. The Happy with Helix guarantee offers a risk free customer first experience designed to ensure you're completely satisfied with your new mattress. Because it's a 120 night sleep trial, Mr. Adle. And.

Dox myself, but now that my secret's out, my name is Adol. Adol. Sort of a Mario situation.

A (11:48)

I love it.

B (11:49)

I love it. Mr. Adol.

C (11:50)

Thank you.

A (11:54)

Um, okay, guess what, guys. We have some fantastic chatterbox topics from our discord today. Yeah, so I just kind of want to get into them. This is from Dr. Bonjour Suplex. Already a great start for what this.

C (12:10)

Question is the French wrestler.

A (12:12)

What are some of the best character names you've ever heard come up in improv?

B (12:19)

Can I just say, the adults in our discord do the same naming convention for themselves as third graders on a playground. Yes, my name is Dr. Bonjour Suplex.

A (12:32)

And I'm your lawyer. And what else do you have to say about it?

B (12:35)

Yeah, I'm a day trader.

A (12:38)

I want to just say right out of the gate. I would say that I'm sitting here with two of the best coming up with namers in the improv scene.

B (12:48)

Can you think of the name for coming up with Neighbors?

A (12:51)

Is what coming up with namers? I can't ever think of a name. I'm terrible at coming up with them. Even if I have time, I'm bad at it. But I will sometimes come to Adeline JPC for fake names for characters for other things that I use. For example, jpc, Four or five years ago, you came up with Tiffany Key Largo for me and I still play that on John Mackey's podcast.

B (13:14)

Yeah, that's just my first name plus location naming convention that I use constantly.

A (13:20)

So, jpc, your naming convention is first name location?

B (13:27)

Yeah, that's Rick Mexico, Maria cv. This is. This is. I'm giving away the secret sauce to how all of my improv gets made.

A (13:38)

There was a name. Do you guys remember? I don't know actually jpc, if you were there. It was a world news show and someone came up. I'm not gonna remember any of the details. So this is nothing. This is turning to dust in my hands. But it was a group scene and someone named Brett and gave him a first and last name when no one else in the scene had had a first and last name and we all lost our minds. But I can't remember what it is. Maybe I'll text Brett.

B (14:01)

There is something funny about giving a fake person a first and last name.

A (14:07)

Adol, what's your naming convention when you're coming up with a fake name?

C (14:11)

I guess I enjoy first names, last names who sort of pair well together or slightly rhyme. I think is always fun. Has some amount of rhyme to it.

B (14:22)

Is the theory there so that it is easier for you to remember because there's a rhyme to it.

C (14:28)

I think it's more just like it has a flow to it. Like it's fun to come off the tongue.

A (14:36)

I'm trying to think of a name under your naming convention.

B (14:40)

One of the things that I always taught people when I was tech teaching improv is just use real names that you've encountered in your life of people that will never hear about you doing this in an improv show. And for me, I was always like, you have a deep bench of first and last names of people you went to high school with that will not see this improv show. So you can, you know, you can call people Taylor Masterson as much as you want because, like, it's never getting back to them. You know, you can say like, get in here, Jeremy Vande Bosch. And it's like, how's that ever gonna.

A (15:14)
