Quick, choose a meal deal with McValue. The $5 McChicken Meal Deal, the $6 McDouble Meal Deal, or the new $7 daily double meal deal, each with its own small fries drink and four-piece McNuggets.

There's actually no rush. I'm just excited for McDonald's.
For limited time, only positive participation may bring up bells and make delivery.

Every holiday shopper's got a list, but Ross shoppers, you've got a mission. Like a gift run that turns into a disco snow globe, throw pillows, and PJs for the whole family.
Dog included.

At Ross, holiday magic isn't about spending more, it's about giving more for less. Ross, work your your magic.

How was the Oasis concert? It fucking ruled. Is that right? Tell us everything.
So I saw them in 2006, I want to say, at the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. And that was the tour that they

split on. Like at some point during the tour, they were just like, we've had it.
And so I was like, oh, this is like Zeppelin or Floyd. Like, they're never going to, it's done.

Like, these, these two are.

Well, so if you don't know about Oasis, these are two brothers that hate each other with every fiber of their being.

Two people have never hated each other more than the Oasis brothers and their little hate film fun fest.

And that's the thing is, I'm so big fan of them all throughout the 90s and in college and everything. To me, the sort of backstory of like they're brothers from Manchester.

They cannot stand each other. They write very good music.
And to me, they're the last like rock stars.

You know how people say or articles will say like George Clooney, once George Clooney passes the last of like the Hollywood star dies or whatever. I feel that way about specifically Liam Gallagher.

I feel like Liam Gallagher is the last remaining rock star. That tracks.

I would say I will, I can endorse that. Yeah.
And people have been saying that about Oasis for like a long time. Yeah.
But the, but I, we went to Soldier, Soldier Field where they played.

I think they're I think on this reunion tour they're playing New York. No, New Jersey, Chicago, LA maybe.
Those are the only three U.S. states.
Wild. So I'm at Soldier Field, absolutely killer show.

They sounded fantastic.

Don't Look Back in Anger was one of the highlights. I mean, I love that song, but I feel like that was the one that everyone really sang along to, where I thought it might be like Wonder Wall.

Ended the show with Champaign Supernova, killer, killer show. Absolutely Absolutely delightful.
I love Oasis. I think Oasis is a great band, but I also think that

I don't have much of a desire to see them live. Gotcha.
Unless I think,

if the tour had gone to other cities and I had heard, oh, it's a meltdown between these two. They are not having it with each other on this tour.
Then I would be like, yes, I will go see that.

Well, we should say.

I don't know how long ago this was, eight years or something? This is pre-Hay Riddle, I think. JPC and I went to Law Palooza.
That's right. Because a friend of

mine, and now JPC is as well, plays in Liam Gallagher's band. And he got us artist passes.
So we were like hanging out in the artist pass area. Yeah.
And Liam was going on with that band.

And he went on at La Palooza, played, I want to say one song and then stormed off stage because he said like the

speakers were his monitor. He was like, he was played like half a song.
It was like maybe, maybe they played played three songs.

But the whole time, he was like stopping in the middle of songs to be like, the monitors, the monitors. And then he just left the stage.
And they didn't start off stage.

The band with our friend was just kind of left on stage and then slowly followed. And then our friend was like, yeah, we didn't get, we had to return our money for

we didn't get paid. That was all a wash.
It's so crazy that they didn't get paid for that show simply because of like, if you're the Gallagher brother, you've probably made enough money.

You're probably like, oh, well, whatever. You You know, it's like, I've got a lot of money.
But if you're just also

the guy who's like drumming in that band, you're like, I would have like to have that money. I mean,

could have used that. I'm here.

I'd fly to Chicago. Like,

I'm from England. I would like to get the money, please.
Aaron, would you believe shortly after that fiasco, JPC and I hopped in some golf carts with our friend Drew and were.

driven all the way to the opposite end of La Pluza to stand on stage during Lord's set.

Oh boy.

Which was eventually rained out. Oh boy.

But the parts when it wasn't rain were fun as hell. How many people did you knock over like bowling pins with your golf cart? Eight or nine.

That's not a strike, but I think it's so funny because that was the first time I've ever been VIP at a concert and absolutely like ruined my experience for the future.

But they put you in a golf cart because at Lollapalooza, I've been to Lollapalooza non-VIP before and you just like wade through a sea of bodies to get to the next stage.

But they just put you in a golf cart and like drive you on an outside track that they built around grant park and it's like oh you never see a soul like you never see or have to interact with a single other person it's like truly such a wild way to experience a concert and it wasn't even vip it was artist pass yeah there was a vip area and then beyond that was the artist area and in the artist area there's all this stuff where it's like Vans has a little pop-up and you walk in and you're like, I want those shoes.

And they're like, here you go. And then you're like, I own these now.
There's no, I didn't pay anything.

They're just my shoes now which is kind of fun nobody knows nobody was like hey this guy can't have the shoes he's not very cool like i didn't have to be cool like it was it was not an issue that i wasn't very cool i just get the shoes i just get the shoes i still have a twix koozie that i which is get that looked at yeah it could lead to something pretty serious i realize saying twix koozie is like there's a non-zero i'm not going to explain what i mean when i say i have a twix koozie because there is a non-zero chance that like 50 of people won't understand what that means.

I'm getting an absolutely blank stare from Aaron. Yeah, I was just thinking, I was like, I'm trying to think of what would be a,

it's funny if it is something. Twix koozie sounds like

a really hard sex move.

If I was telling a friend at a bar that I got a Twix koozie, he'd be like, hey, man, there's like kids around here. Not kids, because it's a bar, but just say menage toilet.

Well, there's three of us speaking of, and let's all open some boxes of questions. And we promised we'd never talk about our threesome ever again because it was too good.
Right, fellas?

We solved riddles the whole time.

And it didn't go the way you all think it went. And I want everyone to comment a number in the comments on our Patreon.

It was killed one to 10 of how surprised you would be if we had one threesome in 2018.

And I want you to comment below

who you thought came first, who came second, who came third, or not at all. Yeah, it would be JBC came first no and then third and the two of us didn't come at all

we know how that would go i came first second and third and then i said i'm done a towel of the sandwich you were like it's we're six minutes in man this was supposed to be like we cleared our afternoon i came first second and third and then i needed a towel and a sandwich in that order please

Do you need me to start the ad? No, stay there.

Everybody say thank you, Miss Aaron.

I thanked you guys in the other ones.

Not getting thanked.

Here's our first, let's unwrap this question here. This is from John the Meh.
Great name. What are each of your favorite Arnie Parrot songs that he's written for the show? Love that question.
Wow.

That is a great question. An embarrassment of riches.

Wow.

This is hard. I need them all lined up next to each other because I can't.
I mean, you could go on his SoundCloud and just like look at all of his songs because they're all on his.

And for people who don't know, check out Arnie's SoundCloud if you want to see, like, because every time we make him do a Riddle, Riddle thing,

he posts it there. Oh, I have three.

What are your three? Okay, my three are

the first DD theme, the Faldoral, and Diddley D. Addley, Addley, JPC,

yeah, that one. That one is so good.
The Lord of Beef,

it's so funny.

And then, but I think my number one favorite of all time is the Riddle High Get Bent.

Figuring it out as we go.

And not just because I'm on that one, but because I think that is the catchiest one.

The lyric, we're just some children and we're figuring it out as we go, is so funny.

Figuring it out as we go is my favorite.

But my favorite lyric from an Arnie Parrott original, it comes from the Wet, Wet Waters theme where he says you'll never be your father so it's wet wet wet waters for me and it the the reason why i love that is it's like it is kind of apropos of nothing like it the the idea of fatherhood and attendance at a water park have nothing to do with one another it's just it's just that line always tickles me so much mutually exclusive items being paired

um i think

I do, I am now inspired to go back and listen to all his stuff, but I think I have to go with the Mui Classico favorite riddle theme. It's just the bup, but

like that is just so catchy. Yeah.
Okay, kind of a compound answer. Well,

I am a compound to think of.

Real quick, can I mention just

the one that because I'm just looking through the entire list? Obviously,

so many really, really good ones, so many fun ones. One that I forgot about until looking at the list is the wake-up theme from the JPC 9000 like series.
That one I love so much.

It's so much different than any of the other fun things, which I mean, all of Arnie's music is, you know, like a great pastiche of a genre or whatever, but that one in particular, I think, is just like genuinely quite beautiful.

I remember when I

commissioned Arnie for that one, I gave him like very little instruction. I gave him kind of like, hey, something like this, like thematically thing.
And he came up with that.

And it didn't really, it like most of his stuff kind of references directly what we're talking about. And that one, he just kind of went with a vibe.
And I think that that turned out so, so well.

Oh, yeah.

Man, I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it, Casey. That's that's a that's a great addition.
Yeah, I might even fuck it.

I might even let that stay in the episode. Whoa, whoa, Casey.
That stays, man.

Wow, crazy. You never get one that stays.
One, two, three, four, eight, ridgel, ridgels, clue, crew.
