Speaker 1 This is a head gum podcast.

Speaker 1 Whoa, guys, that recording was crazy. We played all sorts of characters, and my brain's like, wee whoa, wee whoa, wow, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 1 I need to find a way to unwind what to do, what to do, what to do.

Speaker 2 Aaron, you are not wrong. That last recording that we did for the podcast, Hey, Riddle, Riddle, was a doozy.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. I sort of, I sort of like tweaked my back playing kung fu shrimp.

Speaker 2 The doctor was the mother.

Speaker 2 He stood on a block of ice.

Speaker 2 frightening.

Speaker 2 Okay, so

Speaker 2 I spent the last

Speaker 2 hour, three hours, or whatever in my yard

Speaker 2 collecting kind of ingredients for some potions. Okay.

Speaker 2 And so I thought a fun way to kind of start things off would be if everyone takes like a function. It's so dirty.

Speaker 1 It was only three hours outside.

Speaker 2 It wasn't like

Speaker 2 in the yard, Aaron.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know, but you look like you've been missing for like months.

Speaker 2 You have tulips growing out of your scalp. It's all dirt out there.
Oh.

Speaker 2 Okay. It's also pretty impressive.
It's November. I'm growing tulips.
Come on.

Speaker 2 All right. Okay.
Okay, fine. Something's working.
Yeah, you're right. So we all take just like several big gulps out of some of the potions I've made and kind of see what powers we get.

Speaker 2 We can't say big gulps. 7-Eleven is litigious.
What can we?

Speaker 2 Huge

Speaker 2 Super Bowls.

Speaker 1 I hate to be this way. It's safe, right? This isn't just a bunch of like

Speaker 1 nonsense you found in the yard. It's not like lighter fluid from the grill and mud.

Speaker 2 No, it's all natural. That's a great point.
But I, because I want to be clear, you say it's safe, but I feel like it's a thing, right? That like nature can't hurt you?

Speaker 1 Just because something's natural doesn't mean it's good for you, right? Like venomous spiders are natural. Okay, then why are we drinking it?

Speaker 2 You didn't say good for you, you said safe. That's so different.
Okay, so I guess here in this vial, you have it just looks like a worm that you gave Mountain Dew to, for example.

Speaker 2 Okay, well, so here's the thing. I gave Mountain Dew to a worm, but there's no Mountain Dew in the vial.
Gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp, gulp. Aaron, no.
What power?

Speaker 2 what power we don't know if it'll be a good power or a bad power but we know that potions give you powers okay teeth are bleeding good start

Speaker 1 ears are bleeding eyes are bleeding

Speaker 1 butt is bleeding can you fly though

Speaker 2 hood

Speaker 2 nope nope okay so not flighting thing but i'm invisible huh

Speaker 2 no we can see you yeah we could see you it's pretty bad it's bleeding pretty

Speaker 2 i'm gonna try

Speaker 2 five seconds into the future you wait you wait on your powers because maybe it's like a slow burn. Adult, why don't you gulp one down and maybe see what kind of power we can get from you, my man?

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 He's got real sleepy. Okay.
I think your organs are shutting down.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there goes the left lung and right lung. Yep.

Speaker 1 Well, but if this is like an apartment building where everyone's like slowly turning off their lights to go to bed.

Speaker 2 If you live,

Speaker 2 then

Speaker 2 go into a coma, but then wake up from it. That's kind of like time travel.
That's kind of like a power. Whoa.
So, okay. Yeah.
Yeah, you go. Because you don't need a coma, right? Oh, there you go.

Speaker 2 I'll see you guys tomorrow. You go.

Speaker 2 Where's the third vial? I didn't make enough potions. I wanted my friends to have potions and powers, and I didn't make enough potion for myself to have any powers.

Speaker 2 I guess I still have some of the Mountain Do I Fed the Worm.

Speaker 2 Go, go, go, go, go.

Speaker 2 Okay, I have to go. No.
Well,

Speaker 2 no, I don't have to go. I have to sit.
I have to stay. I have to still.

Speaker 1 I have to sit first still. What if we did a quick episode of A.

Speaker 2 Riddle Riddle and then we did a field trip to the hospital?

Speaker 2 Hello. Can you hear me, my Mountain Dew X-Men?

Speaker 2 Butt bleed. Sleepo.
Oh, God.

Speaker 1 Wait, wait, wait, wait. Are we work shopping names?

Speaker 2 Are we work shopping names? Butt bleed. I'm sorry.
I already made the uniforms.

Speaker 2 You can't be sleepo. You can't be sleepo.
Casey Toti is very delicious.

Speaker 2 Oh, brother. Oh, yeah.
I'm not taking Adol. I'm taking Casey Toty.
Did I not make that clear? Well, that's why I'm so fucking confused.

Speaker 2 I'm going to be Dr. Mountain Dew.

Speaker 2 That's my name.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 1 Better than Butt Bleed.

Speaker 2 Fucking, God damn it. Some thing else that is pretty good is the podcast.
Hey, Reddit, Rydal. Hi, I'm JPC.

Speaker 2 I'm Adorify. And I'm Ariana.

Speaker 2 I've never gone second before.

Speaker 2 Why did I go second, Adol?

Speaker 2 I like you going second.

Speaker 1 No, no, it makes more sense. No, it makes.

Speaker 2 Let's do do that. JPC, do that.
Run that by one more time. You wanna see?

Speaker 2 Speaking of butt bleeds, welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle. I'm JPC.
I'm Aaron Keefe. And I'm Adel Revive.
Wow, that was fun. That was a little errand sandwich.

Speaker 1 I'm the meat.

Speaker 2 Past all of this, but I do. In Casey, make a quick note.
I'm going to be grabbing that for something I'll be doing on the Patreon in just a couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 All right, that's coming up. Speaking of butt bleed, did you guys see that Arby's has steak bites?

Speaker 2 We talked about this on our road trip, Adel. Have you tried them yet? No, but

Speaker 2 JPC during our road trip was like, Arby's has steak bites. And I'm like, what are you saying? And he's like, they have steak bites.
And he's called steak nuggets. Steak nuggets.

Speaker 2 And then

Speaker 2 I was curious and we saw an Arby's and JPC was correct. They had steak nuggets.
They had a big sign up that said steak nuggets are here.

Speaker 1 You said, I'm not thinking Arby's?

Speaker 2 We tried to, but all Arby's are ghost Arby's, I guess. How do I

Speaker 2 say this?

Speaker 2 Aaron, if we're being honest, we saw an Arby's from the drive-through of what I want to call a Mormon coffee place.

Speaker 2 We were out in Kansas, and I don't think that they have them here in Illinois. At least I have not seen them.
But it was a drive-through coffee place. I can't remember the name of it.

Speaker 2 It was like Zippy's or Shaggy's, something like that.

Speaker 2 But they had dirty sodas, which are like

Speaker 2 a soda with the trappings of a vanilla latte. So they take a soda.

Speaker 2 It would be like Pepsi with pumpkin spices and whipped cream.

Speaker 1 Dirty sodas are big in the Mormon Utah world. That's Pepsi.
Because I've watched The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Speaker 2 Well, so I have not watched this, but I, but someone we talked to about this said that they were very big with Mormons and they're kind of spreading outward.

Speaker 2 We did not try it. We will, and before, just to cut it off at the head right here, we will not be doing dirty sodas on Review Crew.
They don't live in Illinois.

Speaker 2 They do not have, I don't, but do you know of a place that has them here in Chicago? I just don't know that they've made it this far out here.

Speaker 1 No, but I think that we can inconvenient ourselves to an extreme degree and we all have to go to Utah

Speaker 2 for a review crew. And I think Mormons had to drink soda through a

Speaker 2 straw that was in a hole in a sheet. That's, yes, 100% true.
That is true. And Mormons can have many different sodas.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 Mormon men. Mormons.
Yeah, right, right, right, right, right, right. And

Speaker 2 I think, if I'm being honest, I think they don't like Mormon anymore, right?

Speaker 2 The term?

Speaker 2 Aren't they all LDS? Isn't

Speaker 1 it the Christ of Latter-day Saints?

Speaker 2 Yeah, don't they want to be called LDS? Latter-day Saints.

Speaker 1 I think the PR for Mormonism has not been fantastic.

Speaker 2 So maybe they're trying to put it. They're so snappy and cool.
Yeah. Mormon.

Speaker 2 Who do you think has a worse brand in just public perception, not like internal? Scientology. You think of Scientology? Scientology over Mormonism?

Speaker 1 Absolutely brutal.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Public brand.
I do think Scientology's brand is pretty bad, but I think Mormonism is not much, but a little bit older than Scientology.

Speaker 2 So they have like, they have like a lot more like, like, did Scientology ever exclude black people? Because like Mormons let black people out of the church and like, it was like impossibly late.

Speaker 2 It was like 81 or something. They were like, oh yeah, God just let us know that he changed his mind.

Speaker 2 But I don't think Scientology, as far as I know,

Speaker 2 they feel like they maybe didn't do that, but who knows? Who knows?

Speaker 1 If you want to know what it is, I think why Scientology has it slightly worse, is

Speaker 1 Mormons talk a lot about being Mormon.

Speaker 1 Like, it's really like they talk about going to church, and obviously, there's these like super secret things inside their church, but they're like really open about it.

Speaker 2 And it they have missionaries, they promise missionaries, like, um,

Speaker 1 uh, they talk about it on the TV shows that they're on. Like, it is

Speaker 1 uh,

Speaker 1 it doesn't feel like some sort of secret in this, like it, It feels like other religions that way. In Scientology, you try to talk to a Scientologist about it, and they're like, Am I a, huh?

Speaker 1 I actually never heard that word before. I'm unfamiliar.
And that is obviously so much worse.

Speaker 2 It's the name I haven't heard in quite some time. Yeah, door-to-door Scientologist being like, hey, can I interest you in, I don't know, I'll say like a pretty mid book about spaceships and stuff.

Speaker 2 It's not, it's not the best piece of science fiction, but if you've read everything else, L. Ron Hubbard stuff isn't bad to like to burn through some time.
Do we know what the L stood for? Loser.

Speaker 2 Yay.

Speaker 1 I think, well, this is some advice for you kids out there. Your faith can be personal and your spirituality can be personal.
Your religion shouldn't be a secret or personal.

Speaker 2 Yeah. If it is, you might be in a cult.

Speaker 2 Remember when we talked about, we talked about at some point. Opening up a church of riddles.

Speaker 2 Is that still something we're interested in?

Speaker 1 And then we saw the future. We smashed cut to all of us being in prison for starting a horrible cult.

Speaker 2 But, Aaron, you forgot about all the compounds and money we had before that. Right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, those compounds and money and water.

Speaker 2 Is it worth three to five years of living high on the hog?

Speaker 2 Speaking of compounds, I actually have a couple more potions for you guys to try, unless you would rather move on. You want to move on? And Aaron, you said what?

Speaker 2 Riddles. You said riddles.

Speaker 2 Hmm. Interesting.
I don't really have any riddles.

Speaker 1 Don't act like a Scientologist with me right now.

Speaker 2 Own up to it if you're going to do puzzles. Well, Aaron, I don't actually have any riddles for you today.

Speaker 2 But I guess something that I do have for you would be kind of like a, how to put this, maybe like a collection of

Speaker 2 not necessarily mammals, but like a wide spectrum of creatures kind of marching to a rhythm. Oh, like an animal parade.

Speaker 2 A cheetah with a leopard skin.

Speaker 1 A cheetah blowing out a birthday candle.

Speaker 2 A mosquito on a motorbike.

Speaker 2 A duck with a comb over.

Speaker 1 A bunny in a marching band.

Speaker 2 The cheetah's back. What's up, man?

Speaker 2 Animal parade.

Speaker 1 Hey, cheetah, you want to be on the episode? It's good to see you. We love how normal your head is.

Speaker 2 Wait, what? We love, guys, I'm panicking.

Speaker 2 Say something that you say.

Speaker 2 I love meeting someone and going, oh, I love how normal your head is.

Speaker 1 I do that to Lou sometimes when she comes in the room and it feels awkward.

Speaker 2 I go, hey, normal head.

Speaker 2 It's not chiefly gap at all.

Speaker 2 Everyone working with John Cena has to say.

Speaker 2 Hey, normal head.

Speaker 2 Okay. We have an animal parade.
And this one I love because it is submitted. It was submitted, I don't want to say five years ago, but it was over five years ago.

Speaker 2 But it was from Nolan and Nola.

Speaker 2 That's fun. Very good.
It's fun when your name kind of matches the place that you're with, except for an extra in.

Speaker 2 It is fun.

Speaker 2 Like if my name is

Speaker 2 Indianapolis, that'd be fun, right? Yeah, if my name was Ann Faye, Anta Faye, come back to me.

Speaker 1 My name was...

Speaker 1 Come back to me. Skip.

Speaker 2 My name was Ann Diego? This one is called... This article is called...
Oh, Andiego. And Diego.

Speaker 2 Adeliego. From Orlando Weekly from 2020, this one says, Florida's invasive herpes monkeys can now be found from Jacksonville to Tampa.
Hold.

Speaker 2 on.

Speaker 2 Hold on.

Speaker 2 Silver Springs State Park has been home to a large troop of invasive std carrying monkeys for almost a century but now sightings are becoming more frequent in florida cities hundreds of miles from the park uh according to a new report from first coast news the population of rhesus monk uh rhesus macaques um

Speaker 2 hold on hold on hold on hold on hold on

Speaker 1 i think we just need to let this wash over us

Speaker 1 i think we deserve this kind of joy and i think instead of fighting it let's just give in

Speaker 2 that sounds like it sounds like the comeback of like a seven-year-old of like

Speaker 2 like, do you want some Reese's? And the kid's like, Reese's.

Speaker 2 And then the whole lunch table is like, yeah.

Speaker 2 Like, you got chocolate and my peanut butter. Yep.
Reese's Pakogs. You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 2 Has expanded considerably over the years, and the monkeys are now being spotted in northern cities like St. John, St.
Augustine,

Speaker 2 Palatka, Walaka, and Elkton, and as far south as Apopka and Tampa.

Speaker 2 Not

Speaker 2 Pocotka. Not the monkeys.
The monkeys were originally, this is awesome. Part of a failed tourist attraction.
How many failed tourist attractions do we have in Florida?

Speaker 2 I mean, it's like, it's a state full of failed tourist attractions. That's the lifeblood of the state.
I think Florida is a failed tourist attack.

Speaker 2 It was called Colonel Toohey's Jungle Cruise in the 1930s.

Speaker 2 And a survey performed in 2018 found that Silver Springs troop now consists of roughly 300 monkeys, and 25% of that population carries herpes.

Speaker 1 Can someone check Colonel Toowee for STDs?

Speaker 2 Me?

Speaker 2 Oh, interesting. Yeah, Colonel Toohey probably wasn't the name of a monkey.
It was probably the man who ran the crew.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and can we check his

Speaker 2 hard drives? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Herpes bee, which, while extremely rare in humans, can cause brain damage or even death if not treated immediately. So I think we know what Colonel Dewey died of.
Oh, no. Not you too, Colonel Dewey.

Speaker 2 Monkeys tore him apart.

Speaker 2 And then it finishes here by saying the report states that efforts to control the rhesus macaque's population ceased in 2012, but a feeding ban was put in place by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in 2017.

Speaker 2 Doing a quick Google to see, okay, a regulatory body in Florida that is now dead. The FWC reported 43 incidents of human injuries between 1977 and 1984, but has not kept records since.

Speaker 2 Wow, that sounds like Florida. Hey, let's stop keeping records of the disease monkeys.
I do want to scream a scene.

Speaker 1 Oh, we all want to see a scene, Adel.

Speaker 2 I'd like to see a scene. Aaron,

Speaker 2 you are a rhesius macaque monkey, and you found out you have an STD, and you're calling your past partners. Great.

Speaker 2 Don't pick up. Don't pick up.
Don't pick up. Don't pick up.
Don't pick up. Don't pick up.

Speaker 4 Colonel Dewy.

Speaker 2 See.

Speaker 1 I would like to see another scene.

Speaker 2 Okay, sure.

Speaker 1 JPC, you are one of these STD monkeys and you're at a bar in Tampa. And Adel, you actually know about his reputation when he's trying to pick you up.

Speaker 2 And you're kind of putting him in his place.

Speaker 2 Can I get a banana martini, please? Thank you. Let me get that.
Huh? Jake, let me get that.

Speaker 2 Okay. Yeah, beautiful lady like you shouldn't be paying for her own banana martini.
Let me please put on my tab, Jake.

Speaker 1 Jake, Abby, yeah, dude, you got to pay in money this time.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, yeah. No, yeah put it on my tab yeah i'm good for it i'm good for it okay i'm good for a lot of things pretty lady oh jake as in greasy jake are you greasy jake

Speaker 2 so i was i wasn't saying my own name i was talking to jake the bartender

Speaker 2 what are people calling me nothing nothing doesn't matter it doesn't matter what's oh my god

Speaker 1 I knew it. I knew it.
I knew it.

Speaker 2 I knew it. Take a shower.
Take one shower.

Speaker 1 You don't think I've tried?

Speaker 2 I don't think so. No, I don't think you've tried.
Greasy Jake, are you telling me you are a daily showerer?

Speaker 1 I'll be in the back if anyone needs anything.

Speaker 2 There's no shower back there, so there's...

Speaker 2 My name's Saltines. What's your name? Saltines.
It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Mr.
Banana Pop. Oh, no.

Speaker 2 Oh, so you've heard of me. No, I have to go.

Speaker 2 I need to go. Greasy Jake just left.
We have this whole botter ourselves. I can kind of reach my prehensile tail over the bar and grab whatever bottle you like.
Bottle smashes on the ground.

Speaker 2 Okay, so I can only lift like half a pound. And these bottles are heavy.
These are handles. You said your name was Saltine.
Yeah, forget I said that. Have a good night.

Speaker 2 Well, I'm about to have a good night if maybe I could talk to you for a little while. Do these names sound familiar?

Speaker 2 Sarah.

Speaker 2 Lil Lisa. Oh fuck.
Melinda. Bonkers.
Well, these are specific now.

Speaker 2 My friends who have slept with you. Unbeknownst, they didn't know that everyone else, they didn't know how much you were getting around.
Okay. And you broke their hands.
The row is more like it. Look,

Speaker 2 Mr. Banana Pop is a lover, not a fighter, okay? They never,

Speaker 2 they all had a pretty good time, you know, if you ask them. Now, did they like the fact that they all slept with me? Maybe not, but individually during the act, they were all having a lot of fun.

Speaker 2 I think

Speaker 2 throws the martini in your face. Gulp.
Let me ask you.

Speaker 2 He caught that in one.

Speaker 2 I've had a lot of drinks thrown in my face.

Speaker 2 That was

Speaker 2 a good practice. Oh, no, don't be pressed.
Saltines, dopey. Saltine, have you ever had every grain of salt licked off your cracker, if you know what I'm saying? I don't know.

Speaker 1 We got to them in bed the next morning.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. I hate myself.
I guess I probably should have said at the bar,

Speaker 2 but I have an STD. You piece of shit.
Oh, let me finish. First drink in your face.
Gulp. A saltine tasting deficiency because I got to get a little more saltine.

Speaker 2 No, but I do have a monkey disease.

Speaker 2 Which is not okay. You should never tell people after the fact.
You obviously have to disclose. No, tell them whenever.

Speaker 2 Tell them whenever. Tell them whenever.
Whatever you get to it.

Speaker 2 We did an animal parade because I'm very excited to be. Recently, we went to

Speaker 2 a few places went to Atlanta, Nashville, and Denver for like a week-long leg of our tour.

Speaker 2 And in, I want to say, one of those places, someone handed me some riddles that they had made.

Speaker 2 And they say that they really enjoy the animal parade segment, which inspired them to write puzzles based on animal parade.

Speaker 2 So these are kind of animal parade puzzles. And shout out to Zoe Foley, who gave us permission to use the full name, who gave us these riddles.

Speaker 2 Okay, so here's the instructions. In an animal parade, each animal has an item that fits a certain rule.

Speaker 2 But on their way to the parade, three animals got lost and forgot what they were supposed to bring. Based on

Speaker 2 the first four animals in the parade, figure out the rule and match up the three lost animals with their three lost items. Ooh, interesting.
Oh, fuck. Okay.
So here's your example.

Speaker 2 I don't think you'll need it.

Speaker 2 Here's your example. A llama with a coma, an antelope with a cantaloupe, a manatee with a vanity, and a pheasant with a present.
I think I get it. So your lost animals are cheetah, gecko, and rabbit.

Speaker 2 What are their lost items? A cheetah with pants that have a pleata.

Speaker 2 Okay, I mean.

Speaker 2 That's a big stretch.

Speaker 2 Cheetah, gecko, gecko, and rabbit.

Speaker 2 A rabbit with a habit.

Speaker 2 Okay, got it. Rabbit with a habit.

Speaker 1 A gecko with a

Speaker 2 cell phone.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 you guys are using some slit rods here. Gecko with a echo.

Speaker 2 Aaron a gecko with an echo. Okay.

Speaker 2 Cheetah, you didn't get at all. It wasn't a pleata.

Speaker 2 It's a

Speaker 2 it's a full word, not a um

Speaker 2 not like an uh a there's no a or article in front of it okay a cheetah with a dating sia

Speaker 2 i will say that cheetah cheetah is spelled

Speaker 2 don't get hurt

Speaker 2 it's very funny to see riley walk in the background

Speaker 2 because he's he's

Speaker 2 he was bending down you don't need to sneeze he thought like he thought the top of him wouldn't be

Speaker 1 you you bending down where we could see your full body is so funny dude

Speaker 2 it's awesome so cheetah is spelled c-h-e-e-t-a-h

Speaker 2 and the the it's the the word that it's rhyming with is spelled nothing like it oh um cheetah cheetah but it sounds just like it cheetah with cheetah aaron it's not meeta but it is food oh cheetah with uh

Speaker 1 cheetah

Speaker 2 cheetah with um

Speaker 2 uh let's see cheetah with feta

Speaker 2 adult you have the right nationality greek yeah cheetah Cheetah with Spanicup.

Speaker 2 Cheetah with Zita. Pita.

Speaker 2 Pita. Cheetah with Pita.

Speaker 2 Cheetah with Pita. I'm so glad.

Speaker 1 That could be the character from Hunger Games.

Speaker 2 You got Feta, which doesn't rhyme, but it was the right, like, you were so close with Feta. Baby Steps.
Yeah, it's Baby Steps.

Speaker 1 I think we did such a good job on the example one. That came really naturally to us.

Speaker 2 This is going to be handy.

Speaker 2 The clue there was that the animals rhyme, the animal names rhyme with their items. Okay, but that will not always be the case.
That was just the case for that one.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Ready for your second one? Yes. Okay.

Speaker 2 A goat in a toga,

Speaker 2 a flea with a leaf,

Speaker 2 a horse on the shore, and a snail with some nails. Okay, I get the pattern.
Okay, you get the pattern. You want to solve the pattern? Because you have to solve both things.
The pattern is...

Speaker 2 Whatever they have is a rearranging of the letters in the name of the animal. Correct.
It's an anagram of their item.

Speaker 1 Mine would be.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 an Aaron with a rhine. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 2 Your lost animals are a hornet, a parrot, and a serpent.

Speaker 2 A hornet with a

Speaker 2 ronet.

Speaker 2 With the ronettes.

Speaker 2 A hornet singing with the ronettes. With the runets.

Speaker 1 I'll write this out, I think. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Parrot, hornet, and what was the last one? Parrot, hornet, and serpent.

Speaker 2 Which is funny because I feel like they,

Speaker 2 for the parade, you could have used parrot, hornet, and serpent as items and then been like goat, like a four-letter one to get the answer to, but now you have to do six-letter answers.

Speaker 2 So there's six-letter anagrams of these things.

Speaker 2 Hornet, parrot, and serpent.

Speaker 1 Ugh, this is hard. I don't want to think.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 A hornet with a throne

Speaker 2 on a throne. Hornet with a throne.
Hornet with a throne. Okay.
You got that one. All All right.

Speaker 2 Erin, did you know that you would be thinking this morning?

Speaker 1 No. And I

Speaker 2 told you.

Speaker 2 Because not to give too much of a peek behind the curtain, but you forgot that we were recording. No.
Got the wrong time. Got the wrong time.

Speaker 2 We tried calling you. Phone was off.

Speaker 2 On call disturb. We called Riley.
Yes. Or I'm sorry, texted Riley.
Riley was like, she'll be there in one minute. Yes.

Speaker 2 Lou

Speaker 1 has been bleeding out of her butt.

Speaker 2 Okay. That's everyone that does that.
Okay. Wait a minute.
See where you're exiled.

Speaker 1 What potions have you been drinking?

Speaker 2 We've all been drinking the same potions. I mean, let's be honest.
We've all been enjoying the potions.

Speaker 1 Why am I

Speaker 2 raw? Sheepsy, I'd like this all for the last two.

Speaker 2 Is it a parrot on a raptor? A parrot on a raptor.

Speaker 2 And a serpent with a present? And a serpent with a present? Wow.

Speaker 2 That makes sense. Three out of three.

Speaker 2 You nailed it. You also nailed the anagram part.

Speaker 2 Aaron didn't really nail any of the anags.

Speaker 2 But Aaron, maybe you'll do better on this next one. Here you go.
Are you ready for parade number two? I am. Oh, yes.
And can I just say, Zoe, these are fantastic. An emu with an instrument.
Okay.

Speaker 2 An elk with a pickle.

Speaker 2 A new

Speaker 2 with a plunger. And a dog with a pagoda.

Speaker 2 Here are your lost animals: a bat, a cat, and a rat.

Speaker 1 Because their name is it.

Speaker 2 These are all three-letter animals that the three letters appear somewhere in the word, right?

Speaker 2 Not only do they appear somewhere in the word, but they appear,

Speaker 2 well, they appear in a certain order that's not like the order. Backwards, but they appear backwards.

Speaker 2 Emu with an instrument, elk with a pickle, new with a plunger, new is G-N-U with a plunger, and dog with a pagoda. All of those are examples of the letters being inverted and appearing backwards.

Speaker 2 So, bat, cat, and rat are your guesses. A bat with a tab.

Speaker 2 I mean, bat with tab just works

Speaker 2 because that's just tab, bat spelled backwards. But if you can put tab, is there a way to put tab into a word?

Speaker 2 I'll give you a hint. Tabernacle choir.
Yeah, that would work. Tabernacle.
Yeah, I think that would that could work. I don't see why not.
So I'll give it to you.

Speaker 2 Um, the one that uh Zoe had was database. Oh, nice.

Speaker 1 Can I see a quick scene?

Speaker 2 Sure. Um, uh,

Speaker 1 Adel, you are a new uh who is my plumber, um, and you're working on the bathroom at my house. And JPC, you'll be my husband, and you'll be like, why is there an animal

Speaker 2 fixing our bathroom?

Speaker 2 Yeah, so I'm just going to use the

Speaker 2 sort of what we call like a pipe snake, and that's going to pull out any hair or debris that might be.

Speaker 2 I'm so sorry.

Speaker 1 I'm sorry if this is also like beneath your expertise, and it's just no, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, thank you so much.
And we'll definitely get a better cover for that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and let me know if you need anything like water, tea, or something.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah. Do you just mind doing the thing that I described with the pipe snake? Do you mind doing it? Because I don't have hands.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I will grab you a water really quick.

Speaker 2 Hey, how's it going in there?

Speaker 2 I didn't want to interrupt.

Speaker 1 Good. He just was complaining about not having hands, and

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 1 I think he'll be done soon.

Speaker 2 The plumber that you hired?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think he was.

Speaker 1 He'll be fine. I mean, he's professional, so

Speaker 2 okay.

Speaker 1 I don't want to be. You didn't want to do this.
He said, I'm too busy call a plumber. No, for sure.

Speaker 2 And I just don't know kind of how I don't have the tools. I don't want to be ableist, but you said he doesn't have hands, but he has.

Speaker 2 He has. Like hooves.

Speaker 1 It's the best way to describe him but i just let's not do this whole song and dance where you complain you if you don't want to fix something in our house and i bring someone in to fix that's a wildebeest i just took a peek that's a wildebeest in there that's you guys have any short grass

Speaker 2 um we got a little bit in the back if you're getting hungry do not know don't let him go eat my grass i just mowed if he eats it when it's this short it'll die honey You

Speaker 1 said you didn't want to fix the bathroom. And so I said, okay, fine, I'll hire someone to fix it.

Speaker 2 So you hired the wille. You hired it.
You specifically hired a Wildebeast.

Speaker 1 I hired someone that could do the job and do it in a timely manner.

Speaker 1 We're hosting a party in three weeks.

Speaker 2 It's a hair clog. Are you having a party?

Speaker 2 I'm in a cover band, Newfound Glory, but new spelled.

Speaker 2 Oh, I love that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, I'll grab your card for you before you leave.

Speaker 2 Hell yeah. I truly, yeah, I think we should book that.
That's fucking actually fucking awesome. Yeah, okay.
Well, but baby, baby, look, I love you, but it's a hair clog.

Speaker 2 And that Wild-epeast is one of the hairiest motherfuckers I've ever seen in my life. I don't think he's going to be able to do it.

Speaker 1 He's not going to shower in our shower.

Speaker 2 Can I take the shower real quick?

Speaker 1 Yeah, whatever you need.

Speaker 2 Baby.

Speaker 1 If you're not going to do this, and this is under my jurisdiction, then I'm going to do it my way.

Speaker 2 I feel like that is in spirit a good rule, but it feels like maybe you're pushing that rule too far in a way that makes a Wildebeast is now taking a shower in our clogged shower.

Speaker 2 I would think you'd sing Newfoundland. I don't think he'd sound like I couldn't think you'd sing.
You don't think he knows a newfound floor song?

Speaker 2 I couldn't think of a single Newfoundland song.

Speaker 2 I know the name. I know.
I know Taking Back Thursday. I know

Speaker 2 sitting for Wednesday or whatever. You're thinking about Thursday and Taking Back Sunday.
Two completely different bicycles.

Speaker 2 I know anyone.

Speaker 2 I don't know a single song, any of those. Lag Wagon.

Speaker 2 Taking Back Sunday. Goldfinger for sure.
Thursday.

Speaker 2 All right. Hey, look, let's do one more.
Let's do one more and then we're going to take a break, okay?

Speaker 2 Fine. Oh, wait.
Hold on. Oh, you didn't finish this one.

Speaker 2 Let's finish this one. A cat with a tactile.

Speaker 1 Tic-tac-toe.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 I love that.

Speaker 2 What is

Speaker 2 that?

Speaker 1 If we get one that works, does it even matter if we get the right one?

Speaker 2 Yeah, rat with a tarp. Done.

Speaker 2 I think you did. Tactile will work.
And Eric, don't say we like you help.

Speaker 1 I am here. I'm doing that thing where, like, when you help lift something, and then you go over to help, and they didn't really need you.

Speaker 2 Yeah. The ones that Zoe had for cat were mustache, and for rat was a rat with a guitar.
Oh, I mean, those are much better than what we had.

Speaker 2 But you're right. If you get one, you should be allowed to move on.
And I do accept that you two are both allowed to move on. And so now we must move on.

Speaker 2 And maybe we'll do some of Zoe's animal parade anagrams a little later. But now we must must move on to a break.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 Before long, you're buried in expensive tools, behind on books, and unsure where your business really stands. That's why there's found.

Speaker 1 Ooh, 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.

Speaker 2 Yeah, found eliminates the clutter by giving you one platform that handles it all.

Speaker 2 Banking, bookkeeping, invoices, taxes, no more paying for multiple subscriptions and dealing with clunky, outdated apps. Bleh, barf, outdated apps.

Speaker 1 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.

Speaker 2 Yeah, prior to finding found, I was actually using an app called Lost. And I got to say, this is a terrible app for banking.
You would constantly log in and they'd be like, oops, sorry.

Speaker 2 There'd be like a little shrugging emoticon of a person who lost all of your finances. They never kept records.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 1 That's so scary, Mr. JPC, sir.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Mr. JPC, don't use lost.
Use found.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 And believe me, I was doing this every week, or 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.

Speaker 2 Honestly, I use found and you should too.

Speaker 2 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.

Speaker 2 I love Found. Take back control of your business today.
Open a Found account for free at found.com. That's F-O-U-N-D.com.
Found is a financial technology company, not a bank.

Speaker 2 Banking services are provided by lead bank member FDIC. Join the hundreds of thousands who've already streamlined their finances with Found.

Speaker 2 Not lost.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Mr. JBC, sir.

Speaker 2 Thank you.

Speaker 2 Five, four, three, two, one.

Speaker 1 Countdown over. It's the holiday season.

Speaker 2 It's time to buy gifts.

Speaker 1 I'm so excited. I'm going to decorate.
I'm going to buy gifts.

Speaker 2 Aaron, Aaron, slow down.

Speaker 2 You sound and look stressed, but Uncommon Goods takes the stress out of gifting with thousands of unique, high-quality finds you won't see anywhere else. Now, Aaron, how does that make you feel?

Speaker 2 Oh, I feel way better. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Aaron, you should feel even better because Uncommon Goods, their items are crafted by independent artists and small businesses, making every gift feel meaningful and truly one of a kind.

Speaker 2 You'll find thousands of new gift ideas that you won't find anywhere else. And again, they want me to differentiate.
That is die-hard fans and football fans.

Speaker 2 I'm not sure if you'll find stuff from the major motion picture diehard, but you can look. And Miss Keefe, can I tell you last year, my parents got me common goods?

Speaker 2 I got like a bag of flour and a brick.

Speaker 2 Well, that's no fun. No, I want uncommon goods.

Speaker 1 That won't do. You know what? If you're like me, buy some Christmas ornaments.
Get some Christmas candles.

Speaker 2 Get some stuff for Christmas and put it on your house. Hey, whatever you do, don't wait.
Cross those names off your list before the rush.

Speaker 2 To get 15% off your next gift, go to uncommon goods.com/slash riddle. That's uncommon goods.com/slash riddle for 15% off uncommon goods.
We're all out of the ordinary. But don't take it from them.

Speaker 2 Take it from me, Cousin Kringle.

Speaker 2 That's fun. That's fun.
Probably should have done it at the beginning, though, right? Huh? Stay on that side of the street. Oh, stay over there.
Do you need me to start the app? No, stay.

Speaker 1 Everybody say thank you, Miss Erin.

Speaker 2 I thanked you guys in the other ones.

Speaker 2 Not getting thanked. Okay.

Speaker 1 GPC, open it. Open it.

Speaker 1 Just as a heads up, it is a gift for me that I just want you to open for me.

Speaker 2 And it's in this lion's mouth?

Speaker 1 Yes, and

Speaker 2 battle, huh? Pretty good.

Speaker 2 Opening the jaws of the lion.

Speaker 1 My sweater. It's my new Quinn sweater.

Speaker 2 It's covered in lion

Speaker 2 inside.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's $50 and it's cashmere.

Speaker 2 Oh, well, you actually got a pretty good price on the sweater. I know.
I love Quince. I recently got some curtains and a rug from there.

Speaker 1 And I point to two other animals that have eaten my curtain and rugs that you need to fight to get them back for me. I love Quince.

Speaker 2 Ooh, and I love Quince as well because they partner directly with ethical factories and top artisans. They cut out the middleman to deliver premium quality at half the cost of other high-end brands.

Speaker 2 So you can give luxury quality pieces without the luxury price tag. Is the lion something I can find on Quince? Because this is a very good lion.
I mean, like, I've had way worse quality lions.

Speaker 1 Maybe soon. Maybe soon.

Speaker 2 No animals were harmed at Quince.

Speaker 1 I love their holiday stuff, but I really love their home stuff. Incredible sheets, linens,

Speaker 1 like the most incredible basics for a price that's not spooky at all. Give and get timeless holiday staples that last this season with Quince.

Speaker 1 Hey, hey, guys, I got a riddle for you.

Speaker 2 Oh, okay. Yeah.
You're not old man puzzles, but I guess

Speaker 2 whatever.

Speaker 1 Why is sand the best thing to have on a improv in riddle podcast?

Speaker 2 Sand. Why is sand the best thing? Well, it's going to get everywhere.

Speaker 1 It's spelled S and.

Speaker 2 Yes and.

Speaker 1 You like that?

Speaker 4 You know what? I was working on a version of that myself. So thank you, Aaron.

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. What the fuck? Yeah, guys, Sandy's here.
Sorry.

Speaker 1 I invited Sandy over for dinner.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 Sandy, when you say you were working, and welcome, Sandy.

Speaker 2 When you say you were working on a version of that yourself,

Speaker 2 what?

Speaker 4 I would notice that I'm on an improv podcast. I've been here about a couple dozen times and never mentioned that my name is one letter off from yes and

Speaker 2 well two letters off

Speaker 4 no

Speaker 2 but

Speaker 2 well because you were missing the why

Speaker 2 well but he's putting his name is

Speaker 1 putting the why if his name was a circle the why

Speaker 2 but names aren't circles but my name is if they were what i'm trying to say well but

Speaker 2 well i mean someone's name could be circle i mean circle is a first name it's in the bible yes what okay hold on circle gets the square that's a biblical passage

Speaker 4 if you take away four of the letters of my last name then you you get yes and.

Speaker 4 And you treat it like a circle. It's not a big if.

Speaker 4 Names have been through worse.

Speaker 1 I love that we had an opportunity to do yes and with this, and we decided not to.

Speaker 2 Decided not to. No.
No.

Speaker 1 Okay, fun. Okay, cool.
Sandy, thank you so much for coming back.

Speaker 2 You've been here. Sandy's a nickname, though.
I mean, that's not his real first name. Oh, my God.
Yes, and.

Speaker 2 Speaking of. The great thing about my.
You've got or. You've got or on your first name.

Speaker 4 Yeah, I was going to say the great thing about my full name is there's or there as well, yeah. So it's uh

Speaker 4 it's improv 2.0. You can yes and/or

Speaker 2 and no is in it.

Speaker 2 No, isn't it? Yes, yeah,

Speaker 2 Sandor, Sandor, yeah, and O. Yeah, and O's in there.
Yeah, if names are a circle, Sandy, hoisted by your own petard.

Speaker 4 Yes, I just like keeping these petards around.

Speaker 2 Make it so,

Speaker 2 yes, there it is, Captain Kirk.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 We got to do something.

Speaker 2 Sandy, welcome back to the show. Thank you.

Speaker 4 How have you guys been?

Speaker 2 Aaron has not been really well. We'll not answer for each other, I think.

Speaker 2 Oh, pretty bad. I'm okay.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 How have you been?

Speaker 4 Oh, I've been great.

Speaker 4 Been still working on this

Speaker 4 rattle project,

Speaker 4 this game, this word game that I have. It's been going great.

Speaker 2 It's awesome.

Speaker 4 so far up to uh i don't know like 8 000 people a day who play it that's oh

Speaker 2 geez that's crazy yeah and we're up to over maybe around 250 of them so far

Speaker 2 so uh it's at rough thousand people a day and we've done 250 of them oh so you're like using their names and stuff like oh i've done 250 of them yes that's what i meant yes yes i'm anding you yeah

Speaker 2 yeah sandy is using his rattle project to fuck the people that are here so and then he's keeping track so pretty high body count for Sandy, I have to say. Is this the press you wanted?

Speaker 4 Get get or done.

Speaker 2 That's what I was told, and that's the instruction that I followed.

Speaker 4 So, anyway, that's mostly most of what my attention has been spent on is making these rattles work, and people seem to enjoy it. And I thought I would try to bring a version of that to you guys today.

Speaker 4 A little hey, rattle rattle.

Speaker 2 Ooh,

Speaker 2 We will.

Speaker 2 So the way

Speaker 4 the way rattle works, of course, is that you get a series of clues out of order that you have to apply to each step of this word transformation letter. That's a little hard to do in audio form.

Speaker 4 So instead of giving you a bunch of clues, I just came up with a

Speaker 4 more direct version of word transformations.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 4 here's the way it's going to work.

Speaker 4 I'm going to give you a starting word, and I'm going to tell you to change one letter in that word to an to a full word so you're going to like change a letter in the word to another um set of letters and then i'll tell you what the result will be so for example if i said the starting word is glee

Speaker 4 and i want you to change one letter in it to a grain

Speaker 4 and the ant and the answer will be a kind of facial hair

Speaker 4 okay so you would change a letter in glee to

Speaker 4 replace it with the name of a grain in this case it'll be oak and then goatee and then you get goatee.

Speaker 2 Fun, okay, fun.

Speaker 1 Does that sound good? Yeah, I'm gonna be really bad at this. Let's let's do it.

Speaker 4 I think you'll be great.

Speaker 2 I think uh, I have no idea how it's gonna be.

Speaker 4 Let's find out. Um,

Speaker 4 the starting word, the first word is decoy, and you want to change one letter in decoy to a liquor, and the result will be a word that means good behavior or describes good behavior.

Speaker 2 Um, I'm gonna say gin is probably the liquor we're changing. It's got to be gin.

Speaker 4 It's not gin.

Speaker 2 It's got to be. Sandy.
Sandy, I love you.

Speaker 2 Christ, I love you, brother, but it's got to be gin.

Speaker 4 It's rum, yeah.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Decoy, and we're changing one letter to rum. Rummy coy.

Speaker 2 De rumoy.

Speaker 2 Aaron, Aaron is. Decorum.
Decorum. Decorum.
Decorum. Decorum.

Speaker 2 Did you have it, Aaron? Did you know it wasn't?

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was getting really close.

Speaker 2 Because I was like, I think it's at the end.

Speaker 1 No, because I said, well, I think it's at the end of the word.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 What was it?

Speaker 4 In the middle of that, JBC, you suggested, I think, Rummy Koy?

Speaker 2 I think, Adel, did you say Rummy Koy? I said Rummy Koy, but Rumikoy, that sounds like an amazing

Speaker 2 game so much the same.

Speaker 4 Right. Except I can actually see you, and I could tell who's talking.
So, Rumikoy, I'm going to write that down for an idea to use later.

Speaker 2 Okay, just make sure I get credit for it because

Speaker 2 he thought.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 4 let's move on to the next one. The word is the name Brian.

Speaker 4 Okay. And you want to change one letter to a zodiac sign, and the answer will be a profession.

Speaker 2 But here, here's the thing: you can spell Brian like two different ways. Okay, put it with an I.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Leo and librarian, and I haven't thought about it.

Speaker 2 You know what?

Speaker 2 You're half right.

Speaker 2 How?

Speaker 2 How?

Speaker 2 But also.

Speaker 1 Libra. Oh, Libra.

Speaker 2 That makes way more sense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I knew something was there.

Speaker 4 Leo would be a Leorian, which may be something for all I know.

Speaker 1 Leorian sounds like a profession in like a DD world.

Speaker 2 The total. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I'm so tickled by Aaron getting it right, but

Speaker 2 using the wrong

Speaker 4 side. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Or a Scorpiorian.

Speaker 2 Ooh.

Speaker 1 You're Scorpio? I'm a Scorpio. I'm a Scorpio, too.

Speaker 2 Hell yeah. Whoa.
Cool. What does that mean? It means you're an

Speaker 1 extra and loyal. No, Sandy could have an October birthday.

Speaker 2 Are you in October, Scorpio, Sandy?

Speaker 4 No, I'm in November. Oh.

Speaker 2 Okay, good. Shame on you if you're a birthday.

Speaker 1 What's the day of your birthday?

Speaker 4 13th.

Speaker 1 Oh, I'm the 10th. Amazing.
We should have a joint birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.

Speaker 2 Okay, Sandy, does your birthday ever fall on a Friday? Ooh, absolutely.

Speaker 4 No, somehow, in all the years I've been living, it's been, they've chosen not to do it.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I loved it. In fact,

Speaker 4 for one year when I was, I want to say 10, we rented a spooky house on a farm and watched horror movies.

Speaker 2 Pretty good.

Speaker 2 What about this for a rule? So Halloween is always

Speaker 2 the same day every year, right? It's the 31st, 30th. What is it? 31st.
31st, we know. I think if there is a Friday the 13th, also in October, we should do double Halloween that year.

Speaker 2 I think there should be. Oh, I love that.
I think there should be Halloween on Friday the 13th. Hollow Halloween.

Speaker 4 Was Friday the 13th a thing before the movie, or did they make that up as

Speaker 4 a scary thing?

Speaker 2 I think it was before the movie. I think it was just like

Speaker 2 a day to be cautious. What is it when the guy who knows more than anything that you'll ever know? I mean, this is the guy that knows all of the stuff.

Speaker 2 And now he's asking me a question about what is going on with some stuff. That's insane, right? Does anyone else feel insane when the smart guy asks Joey?

Speaker 4 I don't know all the stuff. I just like asking questions about all the stuff, including that's even worse.

Speaker 2 And here's my reasoning behind saying that it was a thing before the movie is because if it wasn't, that's insane to be like, let's just trust that people are going to go see a movie that's a date.

Speaker 4 Well, I, yes, counterpoint, though, there's a lot of stuff in our culture that is actually ascribed to just a movie that came up with it and we forget about it.

Speaker 2 Like, for example, the idea of a bucket.

Speaker 4 Bucket list did not exist before that dumb movie Bucket List came out.

Speaker 2 Excuse me? Oh, I'm sorry. That's crazy.

Speaker 2 Is that real? Is that actually real? That's true.

Speaker 4 They made that up. Yeah.
And now we all use it as a common term.

Speaker 2 Or like, or like

Speaker 4 the idea of saying your toast to mean you're done. Do you know where that comes from?

Speaker 4 That is something that Bill Murray made up in the movie Ghostbusters in 1984.

Speaker 4 That was not an expression before then.

Speaker 2 And now

Speaker 2 we don't even think it has an origin.

Speaker 4 Yeah, the idea of saying you're toast.

Speaker 2 Same with

Speaker 2 having a heart attack. Bill Murray was like, I smell toast.
And they're like, what?

Speaker 2 They had a heart attack.

Speaker 4 That's right. That did not exist.

Speaker 2 Came from the movies.

Speaker 2 One of the better improvisers. That is so fucking wild that the bucket list thing is really throwing me because that feels like an inconsequential movie that has

Speaker 2 made a huge outsized impact.

Speaker 1 They didn't come up with the term kick the bucket.

Speaker 2 No, but they use it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mrs. Hilarious counted.

Speaker 2 And Rachel Dratch, people forget that Rachel Dratch created Debbie Debbie Downer.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Was not a term before SNL. That's true.
Hey, and that's true. You're a real Debbie Downer.
And is it that true?

Speaker 2 Do you want to do another one? Let's keep going. Let's keep going.
I got more.

Speaker 4 I got a lot more. Good.

Speaker 4 How about the name Rob or the word Rob?

Speaker 4 Replace one letter with a Pixar movie and you get an art movement.

Speaker 2 Ratoys. Rococo.
Rococo.

Speaker 4 Rococo is right.

Speaker 2 Whoa.

Speaker 2 Roccars.

Speaker 2 Is up a Pixar movie? Rup. Rup.

Speaker 2 Ruby.

Speaker 4 Replacing one letter with two letters is certainly possible, just not as interesting, I think, as replacing it with four.

Speaker 2 Okay. Somebody just said that right to my face.
I'm not as interesting.

Speaker 1 Take the note.

Speaker 2 How about porker?

Speaker 2 So here's the word porker.

Speaker 4 Replace one letter with an animal to get a colleague.

Speaker 2 Hmm. Hmm.

Speaker 2 Poor pigger.

Speaker 2 Poor pigger. Poor pigger.
Poor poor pigger.

Speaker 2 Replace one word with an animal to get a zebra. A companion? Is that what you said? A co-worker.
Co-worker.

Speaker 4 Oh, I gave you the answer. God damn it.

Speaker 1 Oh, it's co-worker.

Speaker 2 Oh, it's cow. Is it cow?

Speaker 2 Cow. A cow worker.
Cow orc.

Speaker 4 It's a cow orcor.

Speaker 2 Oh, I do want to see a scene. Hey, you've just been toasted.

Speaker 2 You're toast. You just kicked the bucket.

Speaker 4 This is like when there's a clip of Ken Jennings spoiling one of the answers on

Speaker 4 Jeopardy because the answer was the word

Speaker 4 like back in black. And there was, okay, so the clue was back in blank.
And he and blank,

Speaker 4 the answer, or the question, I guess, was what is black, right? But he said back in black, probably because black and blank are so close together that his mind just did a little slip.

Speaker 2 Anyway, that's me comparing myself to Ken Jennings.

Speaker 1 I hope he got punished.

Speaker 2 Let's see the scene.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Sadie. I'd like to see a scene.
Aaron and JPC, you two are cow workers, two cows who work at the office. And this is

Speaker 2 a day at work right after one of the office, famous office parties.

Speaker 2 Ooh, moo. I am hungover.
Me too.

Speaker 1 Hey, did you see that we got a notification on Slack that we have like an all-hands HR meeting today?

Speaker 2 I had no all hooves on my calendar.

Speaker 1 Oh, oh, sorry, I misread it. I'm a classic.
I'm one of those Ken Jennings types. All hooves meeting.

Speaker 2 Oh, yeah, okay, yeah, I saw an all-hooves.

Speaker 2 You don't think it's...

Speaker 2 You don't think it's about like

Speaker 2 a party, right? I mean,

Speaker 2 it was, I felt like it was pretty tame.

Speaker 2 I mean, we were...

Speaker 2 I don't know. I'm a little worried.
What did we do? I mean, I guess we played Pin the Tail and the Donkey.

Speaker 2 I don't think

Speaker 2 we had with the donkey and accounting. Maybe she didn't love that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah. We scan across the

Speaker 2 cubicles and we see that there's Xeroxes of udders and condoms filled with milk.

Speaker 2 Tied on.

Speaker 2 What else? I mean, what else could it be?

Speaker 1 I just, I feel like...

Speaker 1 I mean, how many strikes do you have right now?

Speaker 2 How many strikes do I have? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Four? Maybe five? Yeah, I feel like we could be sent to the butcher today.

Speaker 1 I'm just having that like kind of sinking feeling. And maybe it's anxiety.
And maybe it's anxiety.

Speaker 2 But like, we were. Are you saying hang anxiety? Yeah, like hangover and anxiety.
Like hunger and anxiety?

Speaker 1 No, like hangover and anxiety.

Speaker 2 Hangover and anxiety. Okay, got it.

Speaker 2 I'm only familiar with hangry, which is hunger and angry. So sure.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Well, let's just like

Speaker 1 we'll focus on taking care of ourselves.

Speaker 2 Wait a second. Wait a second.
Hold on, hold on. Oh my god.
What?

Speaker 2 Look around the office. What? Xeroxes of Udders, condoms full of milk.
Oh my God. One of the goats must have gotten so wasted.

Speaker 2 Said the party.

Speaker 2 Aaron, you might have just invented anxiety.

Speaker 1 Did I? I thought that was a common term.

Speaker 2 Oh, is it?

Speaker 1 But history will say it was me. Yes.
History will say I'm the Bill Murray of the Harry Runnel podcast.

Speaker 1 I'm ready for some more.

Speaker 4 Let's do another one. All right.
How about the word row, R-O-W?

Speaker 4 Replace one letter with a state to get a part of a salad.

Speaker 2 Row, Rhode Island salad.

Speaker 2 Love those local commercials.

Speaker 2 Replace one letter with a state to get a type of salad. Okay.

Speaker 1 A type of salad.

Speaker 4 Type of sad? No, part of a salad.

Speaker 2 Part of a salad. Part of a salad.
Oh,

Speaker 2 ramontana. Ramontana.

Speaker 2 Exactly.

Speaker 2 Ramontana. Romain tana.

Speaker 2 Romain tana.

Speaker 1 Maine.

Speaker 2 Main. Maine.
It's just main. It's not montana.

Speaker 4 It's not main tana.

Speaker 2 Romaine. Romaine.

Speaker 2 Romaine.

Speaker 2 That's part of the leaf of the salad.

Speaker 4 That's part of a leaf.

Speaker 2 That is the leaf.

Speaker 4 That is the main part. It is the main part of the salad.

Speaker 4 How about the word bean? Speaking of salads, B-E-A-N, replace one letter with a cereal to get a woman's name.

Speaker 2 One letter of bean with a cereal to get a woman's name.

Speaker 2 Cerealine.

Speaker 1 Cookie crisp.

Speaker 2 B golden grads.

Speaker 2 B captain. Captain Crinch Bean.
Captain Crinch Bean.

Speaker 2 Sandy, are you mad at us? Yes.

Speaker 4 No, you're doing exactly what I wanted. Okay.

Speaker 2 So right into my hand. Life is a serial.
I'm trying to think of shorter, shorter serial names. Kicks.

Speaker 4 It's not kicks, but think short, yeah.

Speaker 2 Short, short. Kicks, life.
So, like, Eileen would be a name as a serial called Ile. But it's got bean, Ean.
So it's, it's, we're replacing bean. So is there a serial that ends in Ean, maybe?

Speaker 2 Or Trix, Beatrix. Bingo.
Beatrix

Speaker 2 for kids.

Speaker 2 Beatrix. She's a babysitter.

Speaker 2 Is Beatrix.

Speaker 4 Would you say an old-fashioned name?

Speaker 2 Beatrix Potter. Yeah.
Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Okay, cool.

Speaker 4 I think one of the princesses or queens of like

Speaker 2 uh like uh the Netherlands is named Beatrix, but uh it's always fun for me to like stumble into like oh, that's where we get this shortening.

Speaker 2 So I think I'm just really realizing now that Trixie was probably a nickname for anyone named Beatrix who wants to use that. Oh, yeah, or like Beatrix.
Probably.

Speaker 4 I learned that

Speaker 2 Beatrix Arthur.

Speaker 4 Tilda Swin's full name is Matilda.

Speaker 2 Like, that makes sense. Oh, it's like a Topher Grace situation.
She's the last. Okay.
Huh?

Speaker 2 Topher is just short for Christopher.

Speaker 2 I was at the zoo the other day and I was like kind of walking slowly because I was with my kid, but I was walking behind these two.

Speaker 2 They were probably like in their 70s or 80s

Speaker 2 older women who were also walking very slowly. And they were having a discussion about like

Speaker 2 people in their lives, like friends of theirs. And I wanted to write it down because they were just running down like a list of like the oldest person names you've ever heard of.

Speaker 2 There was like a Don in there and an Esther. And I was like,

Speaker 2 I mean, Dawn is literally the earliest you can go.

Speaker 2 Esther, I think, is Esther, I think, is old Testament.

Speaker 4 It's as early as you can go. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Well, there's

Speaker 2 even in the Dawn, though. They were just running through a list of people that I'm like, these are just like names that are like on the verge of leaving the planet.

Speaker 2 Although now old names are coming back, I feel like. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 We encountered that when we named our kids, like we were looking through

Speaker 4 all the obviously names that were coming up in popularity.

Speaker 4 And there are all a lot of them are names that were really, really antiquated for a long time, but were popular like a hundred years previous.

Speaker 4 And then my wife tells a story about her grandma, who's named Ruth, but they wanted to name her Rebecca. This is back in the 20s, probably.
And everyone was like, that's such an old-fashioned name.

Speaker 4 Do something modern like Ruth.

Speaker 2 I've mentioned it before, but my great-grandma's name was Fern. That's Which I think is just such a wild,

Speaker 2 such a wild swing for a parent to take of like, this baby's going to be a fern. Right.
Right. Hell yeah.

Speaker 4 Isn't Fern in Charlotte's Web? Isn't that the name of the girl?

Speaker 2 No, you're thinking of where the red fern grows.

Speaker 1 You're thinking of Fern Gully.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's right. I'm always thinking about Fern Gully.

Speaker 4 That's my secret.

Speaker 2 Well, Fern is also short, Adolescent. It's a nickname.
The full name is Fernacular, which is part of language.

Speaker 2 Someone should pull the plug on this podcast okay sandy sandy did you do the thing when you named your kids where you named them after like relatives but just with the first letter of their name

Speaker 2 okay well okay uh and we'll move on and that's an edit point and casey just mark that as an edit point because sandy can't get into well jewish heaven what is that uh

Speaker 4 i guess you messed up uh the answer is yes and no i didn't love the idea of doing uh just the first letter so uh i you did a rattle you You did a rattle on your kids' names.

Speaker 2 You did a

Speaker 2 baby rattle.

Speaker 4 I did a puzzle on my kids' names. It's true.
So

Speaker 4 my son's name is Ezra.

Speaker 4 And my wife

Speaker 4 wanted that name. And I was like, okay,

Speaker 4 it was kind of gaining a popularity, which I didn't really love. And it's gained even more in the last 15 years.

Speaker 2 For sure.

Speaker 4 But then I realized that

Speaker 4 we could make it an acronym based off of

Speaker 4 some three of four of our, well, I guess three of our great grandparents, of his great-grandparents. So the E, the Z, the R all stand for

Speaker 4 our grandparents. And then his middle name is Stanley, which is another grandparent.

Speaker 2 Okay. Okay.
So you kind of did it. You did it.
You kind of did your little puzzle stuff. I thought you were going to say

Speaker 2 you picked a name and your wife was like, I want something better. And you were like, better than Ezra? And she's like, that's it.

Speaker 2 That's that. That's the ticket.

Speaker 4 It's if that joke, as you can imagine lives in the subconsciousness and like in the in the like the current of our family uh discussions though so but it's we we only pull it out like once or twice a year can't overuse it we can't overuse it but it is a very very good uh one to go to what's one we also have a song

Speaker 2 all all songs are better than oh

Speaker 2 i don't know i'm i truly don't know a better than

Speaker 2 i don't know

Speaker 4 oh please but we also have a dog named cleo and so we've made letters to Cleo jokes, too.

Speaker 2 Oh. Wow.
I think a better than Ezra song is that one that's like, we live in where we want.

Speaker 2 I think that's a better than Ezra song. Good.
Yes, it's called good. Good, good.

Speaker 4 Want some more puzzles? Yes.

Speaker 2 No, we could do that for a little while.

Speaker 2 Let's do some puzzles.

Speaker 4 All right, take the word sting,

Speaker 4 change one letter to a color, and you'll get something done at a baseball game.

Speaker 2 Sitting.

Speaker 2 Sitting, bunting, bunting, bunting.

Speaker 2 Blunting.

Speaker 4 Blunt, I guess, is a color, but it's not the one I'm picking up.

Speaker 2 Cinnamon Bun Brown. Sandy, don't give me bun, I guess, as a color.
I should go to jail for that. Actually, Cinnamon Bun Brown might be my new teenage detective.
I'm going to say.

Speaker 2 Cinnamon Bun Bun Brown.

Speaker 2 Don't worry. Cinnamon Bun Brown is on the case.

Speaker 1 All dessert-related mysteries.

Speaker 2 Okay, that's actually rules. That actually is incredible.

Speaker 2 All right. Sting, and you change one letter, and it's something you do at a baseball game or you see in a baseball game.

Speaker 4 I would say the phrasing would be something done at a baseball game. You don't do it.
No, the players do it.

Speaker 2 Something done at a baseball game.

Speaker 2 Swinging.

Speaker 2 Is wing a color? Switing. Switing.
Switing.

Speaker 2 So yeah, you do swing, but it's sting, so it's S something I-N-G, I think, is it. That's right.

Speaker 4 Let's go through all the colors. How many could there be? 64?

Speaker 2 Soringing.

Speaker 1 Yellow. Red, green.

Speaker 4 Not in the rainbow.

Speaker 2 Speaking. Not in the rainbow.

Speaker 2 Tan. Standing.
Turquoise.

Speaker 2 Spinking. I think might be something.

Speaker 2 Spinking.

Speaker 2 No. Spinking.

Speaker 2 I'd like to solve the puzzle. I'd like to say spinking, Ken.

Speaker 2 And Ken, this sucks. I can't say Jack.

Speaker 2 No, you're Ryan Seacress now, right? Oh, sadly.

Speaker 2 Sadly, Ryan Seacrest got another job opportunity.

Speaker 2 Has anyone said spinking yet?

Speaker 2 Pinks.

Speaker 4 No one in the history of the human race has said. Spinking.
No, you've said it twice.

Speaker 2 I'm naming my child Spinking. Gray Scragging.
Spinking. That's kind of an old-time name.
Speaking. Boy, oh, boy.
I don't know. Santa, can we get a little hint? This is tough.
Is this tough?

Speaker 4 I mean, there's not many things you can do in a baseball game.

Speaker 2 You can

Speaker 2 throw.

Speaker 1 Catch. Catch.

Speaker 2 striking catch you can walk uh uh you can stealing steal teal

Speaker 2 wow nice one jabes i said turquoise and not teal so bad day for me sandy i have a question and once again once again i have been given more evidence to not bring sports into this uh milieu uh and this is something that you said earlier when you said there were 64

Speaker 2 spinking uh and i have a question spinking uh you said there were 64 colors. Is that how many colors there are?

Speaker 2 Or are we talking just box of crown?

Speaker 2 Crown? Crayon. I'm from Indiana.
Crayon. So am I.

Speaker 4 Yeah, there's 64.

Speaker 4 Name one more. Name a 65th.

Cinnamon bun food.

Speaker 4 All right, here's another one. Now they're going to get a little tricksier.

Speaker 2 Cindy, you're from Indiana.

Speaker 4 Yes.

Speaker 2 Where in Indiana are you from?

Speaker 4 Carmel, Indiana.

Speaker 2 Whoa, isn't that?

Speaker 2 That's why you speak all nice and proper. That's right.
Is that where your dad lives? My dad does live there. Yeah.
Sandy's from the rich part of Indiana. So did you two grow up next to each other?

Speaker 2 We probably did, yeah.

Speaker 4 So you didn't grow up in Carmel, though.

Speaker 2 No, I didn't grow up in Carmel. My dad lived there.
Did you go to Carmel High? Yeah.

Speaker 4 That's the only high school there.

Speaker 2 Hmm. Yeah,

Speaker 2 it's huge.

Speaker 4 I think it's actually now the biggest or one of the biggest by population in the country.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it truly is. Carmel High is humongous, but a lot of people who live in Carmel go to.
And I want to throw this out there. Private school.

Speaker 4 Park Tutor.

Speaker 2 You can go to Park Tutor. You can go to Cathedral.

Speaker 4 I went to Park Tutor for my junior, for my freshman year of high school.

Speaker 2 If you could have gone to Cathedral, Sandy, we welcomed Jewish people. We had one.
Or Berbuff.

Speaker 2 Or Brebuff.

Speaker 2 Any Jesuit, you pick a Jesuit, you could have did their school.

Speaker 4 Okay. I know.
I know.

Speaker 2 I lived pretty close to Brebuff too, but I went to Carmel. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Was assistant editor of the yearbook, The Pinnacle.

Speaker 2 Oh, had a great time eventually. Did Carmel, at the point when you were there, did they have a natatorium?

Speaker 2 I don't,

Speaker 2 I think so.

Speaker 4 It was so big.

Speaker 2 It was so big. It could have been added later.
I remember I had a cousin that went to Carmel, and they were talking to me one time about the Olympic swimming pool that they had at their high school.

Speaker 2 And I was like, wait, what is this?

Speaker 2 I go to an iCool. You have a swimming pool?

Speaker 4 They went to

Speaker 4 won all the state sports championships every year. Which high school did you go to?

Speaker 2 Cathedral. Oh, you did? Okay.
Catholic.

Speaker 2 You're not Catholic. I learned that

Speaker 4 the other big high school on the north side was North Central. Yeah.
And

Speaker 4 this new movie. One Battle After Another has a new star named Chase Infinity,

Speaker 4 who lives in Chicago. She went to North Central.
She grew up in Indianapolis.

Speaker 2 Oh, damn. I would have gone to North Central if

Speaker 2 I had not gone to private school. And I will also say that Chase Infinity is the most made-up movie star name I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 It's her real name.

Speaker 2 It's her real middle name.

Speaker 4 Yeah, it's her middle name.

Speaker 2 It's her first name and middle name. Yeah, I feel like that's close enough to a made-up movie star name if you throw the middle name as the last name.
Yeah, love this, JBZ.

Speaker 1 Go after that kid. Love that.

Speaker 2 Get it. They're 25.
They're not a kid. They are 25.

Speaker 4 She is named after a character that Nicole Kidman played in Batman Forever, Chase

Speaker 2 Meridian. Oh, cool.

Speaker 4 And the word Infinity.

Speaker 2 But, yeah. Okay.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 Are you on another puzzle? Yes.

Speaker 2 Yes, please. Yes.

Speaker 4 All right. Change a letter in the word Piper

Speaker 4 to a number,

Speaker 4 and you'll get a word that means a trailblazer.

Speaker 2 Piper

Speaker 2 to a number.

Speaker 4 Number spelled out. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And how many numbers could there possibly be? 64. 16.
Tops. And what do we get when we change a letter to a number? A trailblazer.
A trailblazer. Is this a sports thing?

Speaker 4 No, it's not a sports thing.

Speaker 4 Oh, I see what you mean. No, no, no, no.

Speaker 2 Pythreeper. Pythreeper.
Pythreeper, no.

Speaker 4 No, it's not it.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Py

Speaker 2 Pipe of five.

Speaker 4 This is tricky because the pronunciation of

Speaker 4 this

Speaker 4 word changes when you insert it.

Speaker 2 Oh, nine?

Speaker 2 Pioneer? Pioneer. Pioneer.
Pioner? Pie niner.

Speaker 4 You'll get there.

Speaker 4 You're there. Just what's the number?

Speaker 2 One. Is it not nine? Pio near.

Speaker 4 It's pie o near.

Speaker 1 Oh, of course.

Speaker 2 Oh, that's a absolute mind fuck. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Chris. That number mind fuck.

Speaker 2 Well, Sandy,

Speaker 2 you've fucked our minds so much this episode. Can we have one more just to really finish fucking them? Let's go.

Speaker 2 Let's finish.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 4 How about the word

Speaker 2 STEM?

Speaker 4 Change one letter to a skin ailment, and you'll get a late show host.

Speaker 2 Ooh, this is fun.

Speaker 2 Seth Meyers.

Speaker 2 Ranch.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 2 Carson. Johnny Carson,

Speaker 2 Carson the Jim Johnny Carson what's the name what's the we're changing one letter of skin stem stem stem one letter to a skin uh to a skin ailment is that what you said yeah skin condition I don't know if that's a road necessarily the right description but I think you'll get it

Speaker 2 stem

Speaker 2 and it's a late

Speaker 2 psoriasis

Speaker 2 stephen colbert

Speaker 2 steven teven stephen stephen Sticken.

Speaker 2 Skin tag.

Speaker 1 Is this person still on the air?

Speaker 4 Yes, although not as much as they used to be. I guess late show host.

Speaker 2 I guess

Speaker 2 Stu Wart. John Stewart.

Speaker 2 Stewart.

Speaker 2 Stewart. Yes.
That's a good hint with not as much as they used to be because he is still doing the same job, just kind of not as much. Just not a money.

Speaker 2 That's the dream. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Sandy, thank you so much for those. Thank you, Sandy.
