Which Riddle Riddle?

#412: It's 9am on a 10am Morning

00:00:01

???

This is a HeadGum Podcast.

???

Time.gov. At 10 say Grogu is a squirter.

Erin

Come on, AC, please.

???

Time. Grogu's a squirter. We have to do it again, that'll mess up, I'm just kidding.

Adal

Mine says synchronizing for a minute and then cut back up at like 8, so you may want to do it again.

???

No, no, no, I meant because you didn't say Grogu's a squirter, but time-wise it's fine.

Erin

Technically he did the right thing.

???

Yeah, yeah, you did the right thing, you were too good of a boy.

JPC

Yeah, see, I meant because you didn't say Grogu's a squirter, I had to restart the podcast.

00:01:03

Erin

Alright, DPC, you get one more. Okay.

Adal

Does that sound like a Ramone song or something? Croco is a squirter. Croco is a squirter.

???

Now it does. Adal, go ahead and give us a count. One.

Adal

Two.

???

Three. Croco is a squirter.

Erin

Adal, I wish I was you.

???

Hey Riddle Riddle.

Adal

So we may have stumbled upon something pretty big. Casey, we can cut this out later if we need to. Erin, you came into the episode recording today with JPC and I doing big bopper impressions. Now, you actually thought that we were doing horse impressions.

00:02:16

Erin

Thank God you're talking about this and not the other thing we were talking about before the episode started. That was a bait and switch.

Adal

I tried to get a real grasp on the situation before we could get into that territory.

JPC

Now, Erin, I thought you said we're not going to bring up the other thing.

Erin

The big highlight here is that there's a tension between the three of us right now. I obviously, okay, guys, sorry that you're coming into an energy that is a little bit fraught. It is. I don't know what day of the week is it? It's 9am on a Monday morning. No, it's Tuesday. It's 9am on a Tuesday morning for me.

Adal

It's Wednesday for them. It's Wednesday. It's 9am on a 10am.

Erin

It's Thursday. It's 9am on a 10am morning. There is some tension between the three of us.

JPC

Y'all ever feel like it's 9am on a 10am morning? Put that on a mug, put it in the shop.

Erin

Give us a call. You're right. Let's just do an episode.

JPC

Adal and I went and saw, what did you call it Erin? Grogu and Mondo?

00:03:17

Erin

Grogu and Mondo, but that's not right and I know it's not right.

JPC

But it's fine that you said it. Adal and I went and saw Grogu and Mondo and I feel like people have been hating on it, but I liked it. I liked it. And we saw it in 40X and it was wonderful in 40X.

Adal

It was very entertaining and 40X makes a meal out of some of these scenes. There's a scene that's the most sort of like Universal Studios ride that a 40X movie has ever been, which was outstanding. A lot of water being sprayed.

JPC

And we were talking about all the water that was being sprayed. And that's it.

Erin

And that's all we talked about. It's a wet, wet movie.

JPC

It's a wet, wet movie. And Casey was asking, because Casey didn't get to go see it in 40X because I believe he was in Ohio and they don't have 40X or I want to say electricity there yet. But he was asking, was the water earned? Like, was there enough wetness in the movie to earn the water? And then Erin said... No, Erin, come on. Let's be fair.

00:04:17

Erin

Let's be fair and let's tell the truth.

JPC

Let's be fair. You definitely were the one who said... Why would I say that?

Erin

I didn't see the movie. Why would I say that?

JPC

And Erin, why would I say it? Erin said Grogu's a squirter and she did not want that on the podcast. Erin made a crude joke and then she said, please let's not start the podcast with me saying Grogu's a squirter.

Erin

Well, because you know what is going to happen is I'm going to end up saying it, which I did. And then I go, well, when the end of the year clip brackets going to come out.

???

Yeah.

Erin

No one's going to include Adal saying Grogu's a squirter. No one's going to include JPC saying Grogu's a squirter. It's going to be me saying it.

JPC

Oh, speaking of squirting, I- Uh, Erin, I was- Nope, nope, everyone throw your headphones off, quickly!

Erin

You still have time, throw your phone, throw your phone into a lake!

Adal

Erin, Erin, Erin, sweetie, Erin, Erin. Squirting is what we call it nowadays when you drink a squirt. Yes, that's what we call it. A refreshing, I wanna say, just lemon drink?

Erin

Okay, I thought it was something else, so I guess I'm not a squirter.

00:05:19

JPC

I was hanging out with some friends of yours this weekend. No, you weren't. No, you weren't. I truly was. And one of them brought up squirting. Erin, you did? No, that's a really good guess. His wife said, that's the second time you've brought up squirting this weekend.

Erin

Oh, no.

JPC

But apparently it was his hobby horse.

Erin

Who were you hanging out with?

JPC

Uh, Paul. It was Paul.

Erin

Oh, Hailey and Paul.

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

Yeah, classic Paul. No, it's not classic Paul at all. One time I went to go visit Haley and Paul in Arkansas and we watched Betty White bloopers and they're the cutest, sweetest, saddest thing I've ever seen. We just made that woman work until she was a thousand years old and she didn't know where she was. She didn't know that the cameras were on.

Adal

Was it a lot of her saying like back in Oaf St. Loaf? Yeah.

Erin

It was a lot of her being like, I don't know what's happening, and the audience was like, ha ha ha ha. I'm jealous that you got to see some friends of mine. But Adal, I realize that the text that I sent you on Saturday didn't go through when I woke up on Sunday. I think that you'll be jealous of the movie I watched on Saturday, which is The Game. Which is one of your faves.

00:06:44

JPC

All time faves. First time, Erin?

Erin

No, I've seen it before. But Riley and I started romancing the stone. First of all, we talked for an hour about what movie to watch. Erin, we don't want to hear about your personal life.

JPC

Squirting the stone.

Erin

It's Riley, every movie for the last 25 years is directors loving the visual language of the game and loving the vibe of that. Like, the succession opening is a direct ripoff of the opening of the game. So we turned it off and turned on the game and he loved it. And he went in completely blind. I didn't tell him anything about it. So to watch someone actually experience it, I was like, I should have waited for Adal to be here so he could watch someone see it for the first time.

00:07:48

Adal

I'm honestly shocked, Riley. I feel like it might be the most underrated film, in my opinion, of all time. And yeah, the reveal at the end and the party and the guy who... Is that the guy who plays Max Headroom at the end? Yeah, yeah. I think so, right?

???

Yeah.

Adal

Who says like, oh, I was supposed to do this and then I did that. I don't know why I'm trying to cover up spoilers for a 30-year-old movie.

Erin

I think we've spoiled it on the show before.

JPC

I think we've already fully spoiled it on the show.

Erin

I noticed so much more. First of all, I just don't think I really realized how visually awesome it is. Like some of the shots in it are just so sick. And there's something I noticed this time that I was like, Oh, that is awesome. At the beginning of the movie, it's his birthday. And a woman comes in and says happy birthday to him at his job and his secretary says thank you to the Well then, he's like, thank you. Like he's so disconnected from his humanity and life. And I was like, oh my God, all the women around him are being human for him. Oh, it's so good.

00:08:48

Adal

The first time I heard about, because I think I saw this before escape rooms were in the U.S. Like I think they were elsewhere in the world, but not in the U.S. maybe. But I feel like the first time I heard about escape rooms and like went to go do one, I was like, oh, this is like the game. This is like a self-contained the game.

Erin

You could almost say that the show is directly like, like so many other movies and TV shows, Hey Riddle Riddle might not exist without Adal finding the game and falling in love with it. And now isn't that interesting?

JPC

Butterfly effect. Yeah.

Erin

What's the butterfly effect that brought you here, JPC, do you think?

JPC

Don't say Grogu squirting. Don't say Grogu squirting.

Erin

Don't say Grogu squirting.

JPC

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Erin

Yuck.

JPC

One good Sir Mr. Grogu. I'm trying to make... Butterfly effect. I don't, you know, I don't know. It's a tough call.

Erin

Alright, well let me help you think of one.

JPC

I'll just say nothing.

Erin

Tituween. Trying to think of something to say. Titupeen. Titupeen. Titupeen. I'm busy.

00:09:56

Adal

That sounds like you're telling your friends you gotta go to the bathroom but you're wasted.

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

Titupeen.

Erin

Titupeen.

Adal

Titupeen.

Erin

I love you girls so much

JPC

And thank you for being here, Teller. We got an email from Teller saying, I'll still do the podcast.

Erin

So I'm like relieved that I don't have to be so nervous.

JPC

Yeah. Well, good for you, Erin. We're happy that at least you can feel some relief today.

Erin

Thanks.

JPC

Well, but unfortunately, the show, Erin, in many ways must go on. Okay. In terms of us doing some riddles, right? Right? You're in charge, right?

00:11:02

Erin

Yeah, Hallie gave us these, I'm going to say, warm-up riddles. Okay. Thank you for sending these in. Find the word that connects each list of three things. This should be pretty self-explanatory and simple, so I'm not going to burn through one of these as an example. I think you'll be able to get it.

JPC

Okay. So if it's like squirting and Grogu and Mondo, You know what, actually, Erin- What do they give out in hockey?

Erin

Like red cards and yellow cards? Adal, can you throw one of those at JPC? He should have to go- We should have a Hey Riddle Riddle penalty box.

JPC

Oh, shit.

Erin

I threw a card like Gambit.

JPC

Enchanté, mon ami! Okay, that's another card. Yeah, I guess.

Erin

Casey, can you build a penalty box for Hey Riddle Riddle? Thank you so much. Casey's on it.

JPC

You're like my toddler who doesn't wait to hear the response before they move on. They're like, I have some cake, yes or no? Yes. Okay.

00:12:03

Erin

That's awesome.

???

That's iconic. Okay.

Erin

Find the word that connects each list of three things. Piano, answer, and Florida.

Adal

They all have keys, my dear.

Erin

They all have keys.

Adal

They all have panhandles as well. My piano panhandle. I do want to see a scene.

Erin

Okay.

Adal

Erin and JPC, you two are two like sort of Storage Wars-esque buyers of lapsed payment units for storage. Okay. And you bought one at auction and you are opening it up for the first time to be surprised by its contents.

JPC

Adal, can I just ask, before we get into this scene, is this scene in any way inspired by the fact that Erin has two huge storage tubs in her background right now? Because it feels very like, Mr. Freud, your penis is calling, you know?

Erin

Mr. Grogu, your squirting's on line one.

Adal

Well, that's gonna be used for the end of the year.

00:13:03

Erin

Oh, bummer. Damnit.

JPC

I like, oh bummer, too, Casey. Maybe we save that one for... Oh bummer.

Erin

I did have to open the storage unit. It took, I was there for two and a half hours. I had to fill in a bunch of paperwork.

JPC

It sucks.

Adal

It sucks. Oh, very quickly, I also want to say, pre-show discussion, this is just pre-show discussion. I also said that Gregor is a Squirter to me sounded like a Ramones song. So if anyone out there who has the capabilities to make a Ramones-esque song out of that, I'd pay upwards of $100.

Erin

If you have a free afternoon and you've already hit rock bottom, I think maybe Grogu is a squirter in the style of the Ramones.

JPC

Guaranteed you'll get at least a feature of the voicemail theme. That's an easy, easy include of the voicemail theme.

Erin

We're gonna get like 14 versions of this and then that's our life, okay? Now this is what the show is, guys.

Adal

Yeah, show's good.

Erin

Show's fucking good, dude.

00:14:04

Adal

Show's fucking good, dude. If I can offer any comfort, famously, Ramone's songs are a minute and a half long, so it'll be, uh, we can cycle through them quickly. I'll tell you what, it'll be 30 seconds.

Erin

That means it's a low barrier to entry.

JPC

If it's longer than 30 seconds, it's not getting on the fucking show, I can tell you fucking that much.

Erin

All these talented people out there who had other things to do, think of the songs that won't be written because talented musicians are going to be playing Grogu as a squirter.

JPC

No! I refuse to think of the songs that won't be written.

Adal

Should I start my modern day Marriage of Figaro operetta, or no, I'll work on Grotesque Squirter in the style of the Ramones?

Erin

I was going to write that beautiful song for my mom's funeral, but Adam said he'd pay me $100. Amazing Grace?

JPC

Honestly, I was going to work on the funeral song, but two birds, one stone. I'll do the Grogu as a squirter.

Erin

No, nobody plays that at your mom's funeral.

00:15:05

Adal

If you can write Grogu as a squirter in the styles of Funeral Dirge or in the style of Amazing Grace.

Erin

Adal, cut to me having to carry your coffin down the aisle when you're dead. When I'm old and my bones are already basically lost.

JPC

Wait, down the aisle? Who's he burying?

Erin

I'm carrying you, I'm in the processional thing. JPC and I, Brett Lyons maybe, Rob White, gang's all there. We're carrying your body. And then that song starts playing. That's what you've just done to us. And then we have to do that whole walk. We miss our friend. And we're listening to the, Grogu is a squirter in the style of him.

Adal

And I'm unplugged. I'm out of the Matrix, baby.

Erin

Uh, all right.

Adal

I'll be watching.

Erin

Here's your scene.

Adal

Thank you. Here's a scene. Just a reminder. This is people opening up a storage unit who have no idea what the contents are.

Erin

Hey man, just so you know, if there's a body in there, I don't have the bandwidth today.

00:16:08

JPC

Okay, yeah, no. So what do you want me, what would you prefer I do?

Erin

If there's a body, I'm going to take off. I've done this before. I've done this whole rigamarole. It's like a four day affair. It's a whole thing. There's body.

JPC

I'm happy to make that deal because you don't want to deal with it, but that also includes, you said, if there's a body and this is a binding deal, we find a mummy in there, I'm taking it. Mummy's a body.

Erin

But that could be a big payout.

JPC

Your ass missed out on the last fucking mummy, and your ass is going to miss out on the next fucking mummy, because you keep making these sucker deals to not find mummies.

Erin

My wife just wants me home sometimes, okay? I can't be solving murders with you.

JPC

And this motherfucker had an Egyptian name, so chances are there's a mummy in there.

Erin

Alright, deal. Fine. Okay.

???

Good deal.

JPC

Hey, good business. Great business.

Erin

Great.

00:17:08

JPC

Okay. Cut the lock please.

Adal

Okay, here's cutting the lock for the unit owned by Memphis Obelisk.

Erin

Okay, you're doing that like you're doing a first take in a movie. Alright.

Adal

Just not used to such Egyptian names. Can I open it?

JPC

So much corpse dust.

???

Oh my god. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Erin

A TV! Scene. When I opened the storage unit, the guy was like, no food, no wine, no explosives, no fireworks. He was so stressed out that I was going to bring food in. I was like, I'm not going to bring food in. It's going to be mostly like Christmas decorations. And he's like, no food, no popcorn, no beer. I was like, okay.

JPC

What's up guys.

00:18:23

Adal

Aaron, you're a storage war, you serve in the army of the storage wars, you open up a unit.

Erin

I'm a colonel, I'm a popcorn colonel in the storage wars.

JPC

That's so good, Erin, that's great.

Adal

You open up a storage unit, you paid, let's say $200 bucks, sight unseen. What's your holy grail? You slide up the door and inside is what? The original Muppets? What is your holy grail?

Erin

Oh my god. Me from the future with all the winning lottery numbers. And if that's not possible, genuinely, remember when the Jim Henson estate had an auction and we were looking into it? I, when I went on there, the thing I wanted the most was the backs of all the Muppets. Chairs from Muppets from Space. Ooh, that's great. I want the scalps from all the Muppets. I want all of their backs.

Adal

I want my Muppet scalps. We're hunting Muppets.

Erin

I was like, oh my gosh, if I had a hallway in a home.

00:19:24

JPC

A hallway, the dream.

Erin

You walk down the hall and it's all the different, because they're all just like specific to each Muppet. Oh, I would die for that. That would be my number one. What about you?

Adal

My first answer is just like a comfy couch and like no phone.

Erin

Adal, we got to get you on a solo vacation. I know what I'm getting you for your birthday and it's time alone in the woods where no one can find you.

JPC

Oh yeah, your wife and child are gonna love that.

Adal

18 years later I re-emerge. Not feral at all. I would say, Erin you made me think of something. I don't know if this is my number one answer, but on the spot I would say the Return to Oz hallway of screaming heads. Have you seen Return to Oz? Yeah. Well, probably another Henson feature. Most likely. But yeah, there's that hallway with all the queens. She has her different heads that she puts on the body, which was terrifying as a kid. And at some point, I want to say Alice, but I don't know if her name's something else in the movie, walks by and makes a noise, and then they all wake up and scream at her. I think that hallway of heads would be a beautiful addition to my home.

00:20:33

Erin

That would be really scary if you opened the storage unit not knowing what was in there. And it's that, though. That would be a little bit of a moment of terror, I think.

Adal

JBC, same question to you, and I think we do have to narrow the answer to what movie prop would you want inside the search engine?

Erin

It's gonna be Grogu squirting. Pre-squirt or post-squirt when he's squirting.

JPC

Oh, that would be, you know how they do like themed popcorn buckets? They should do a Grogu squirting one, but it squirts like hot butter into your popcorn.

Erin

Erin, what do you think of that? If that existed, I think I... Send me to a different planet.

???

Yeah.

Erin

Project Hail Mary me with no mission. Toss me into space. No mission.

JPC

All of humanity coming together to send Erin to space for no reason.

Adal

Now Erin, would you date that rock?

Erin

I would be best friends with that rock. You guys, I finally saw it.

Adal

I was looking for a partner.

Erin

No, he's crazy in love with his partner. He was like, we've been together 185 years and it hasn't been enough time.

00:21:38

Adal

Not what I heard. Not what I heard. Sorry Erin, you saw the movie.

Erin

And I was very, spoiler alert, fast forward ahead, I was so relieved to know that nothing happens to the rock because I was so stressed out. I just got very attached to that rock.

JPC

Oh yeah, and then when he does the People's Elbow on Ryan Gosling, it really puts him in his fucking place. I'm like, thank God we have this man.

Adal

I'm glad he raised his eyebrow, because at first I was like, is that The Rock? And then he did the eyebrow, and I was like, that's him. Oh yeah, and you're like, oh yeah, that's definitely The Rock. There's my guy.

Erin

Uh, more riddles for the boys.

JPC

Face... Um, okay, I guess I didn't get to give my real answer to the question. No, you had your chance.

Erin

You did with the time you wanted what you had and what you did. Um, face, needle, hurricane.

JPC

Face. Did you say face needle or space needle?

Erin

Face, comma, needle, comma, hurricane.

Adal

Have you guys seen the new face needle? It is terrifying. Seattle is losing its mind.

00:22:39

Erin

Seattle is absolutely fucked.

Adal

Face, needle. Oh, they all have eyes.

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

Yes, they all have eyes. The hills.

Erin

River.

JPC

Have eyes as well. With the eyes.

Erin

River, checking account, and blood.

JPC

I'm

Erin

No.

JPC

Hey, come on, that's pretty good though, right?

Adal

Rivers? Rivers have beds, they have mouths, they have... Yeah, what else do they have? Oh, sand... banks. Yes. They're all banks. You find them in banks. Banks.

Erin

I would like to see a scene. Adal, you are a vampire and you're trying to open a new checking account at a bank that GBC works at.

Adal

And Erin, and this is very important to my process. Am I like a Stephen Dorff Blade or am I like a Nosferatu?

00:23:46

Erin

You're like a Nosferatu. And Grogu is squirting. Somewhere.

JPC

Somewhere. Yeah, it goes without saying. Hello, how can I help you today?

Adal

Yes, hello. Devon, is it?

JPC

I just want to say, before we continue the transaction, if I start doing the voice, it's completely... Excuse me? The voice? Oh, you know what?

Adal

I don't even hear it anymore. And I'm, yeah, sure. It's like when someone from, you know, New Jersey goes to England and they go, you have such funny accents and they go, what about you? And I would never say, uh, sorry.

JPC

It's OK. Sorry. It's OK. There was a German customer right before you and I did it as well. It's like a nervous tick thing. It's my first day at the bank. Do you have an account?

00:24:47

Adal

Oh, first day, wow.

JPC

Yes.

Adal

Congratulations. I don't want to say day.

JPC

I guess first night. I guess first night at the bank.

Adal

Oh yes, first, it is fun to have a night bank.

JPC

That's what night bank is known for. It's the only bank that does nights. We get robbed all the time.

Adal

Yes, I can see the bullet holes.

JPC

Yes, oh, um, hold on, I'm getting a call from my boss. I'm so sorry, it's my boss, I have to... Of course. I'm getting a race! I'm getting a race! My... Oh my... Yes, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Night Bank.

???

No, I'm saying we are erasing you. Because you keep imitating our voices.

JPC

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. That wasn't my boss. I don't know... I don't know who that was. Come on. Can you call back? Can you call back?

Adal

I'm curious who that was. I liked him.

JPC

Whoever it was, I did like him.

Erin

No, that was not a good voice. Corn headphone piercing.

00:25:53

Adal

Ears, ears. Speaking of bullet holes.

Erin

Fireplace, cabin, ship captain.

Adal

Pokers. Fireplace, ship captain, what was the last one? Cabin. Cabin, fireplace, ship captain. They all have logs. Oh, captain's log.

Erin

I'd like to see a scene. JPC, you're a ship captain, and you are telling your first mate Adal to log something in the captain's log for you.

???

And just so we're clear, just because I'm doing the voice doesn't mean you're gonna be doing the voice.

Adal

Of course, yeah.

???

I'll try to invite it. No, no.

Adal

I was choking.

???

Were you choking? Because you're gonna be choking. You gotta be fucking choking. Me.

Adal

Are you serious?

???

Are you joking?

Adal

Okay, Captains, let's start over. Let's start over.

JPC

Captains. Oh, I'd love to start over. Captains, all you're doing is recording my thoughts because when this whole thing's over, I'm writing a book. Okay.

00:26:56

???

People are going to be like, you know, who did he sleep with? You know, what was he wearing?

Adal

Well, it's just you and me on the ship, so.

JPC

Well, you don't know that nothing's gonna happen. We're just embarking on this, you know, today. I mean, yeah, for sure nothing's gonna happen right now.

Adal

Okay.

JPC

You don't think, oh what, you don't think I'm attractive at all? No, I think you're very attractive. You do?

Adal

Yeah. Okay. Actually, I called my mom earlier and I told her I had a crush on you, but this is not that time. This is Captain's Log. Captain's Log. Huh?

???

I'm sorry? I said Captain Slog. What did you say?

Adal

I said Captain Slog. Okay.

???

Okay. Let's just start.

Adal

Let's just start. Maybe a quick kiss. Just to break the tarnsion.

???

Yeah. Don't mind if I do break the tarnsion as it were.

Adal

Here you go. This one has almond in it. I can't eat almond.

00:27:57

???

Can't eat almond.

Adal

You can have one of the dark chocolates.

???

It's a taste thing.

Adal

You don't see a lot of kisses anymore.

???

Don't see a lot of kisses anymore.

Adal

It used to be you walk into any bank and there's a little clear bowl full of Hershey's Kisses. You don't see those anymore.

???

Most of the booty on the whole boat is chocolate, you know.

JPC

It's some sort of chocolate. What can I say? I love chocolate booty. Casey, don't clip that.

Erin

Same. He's gonna clip it. It's also like a fucked up rock, paper, scissors right?

JPC

Cause cinnamon obviously kills a dog. Dog kills a tree. By peeing on it. By peeing on it. That does, honestly that does kill a tree. That does kill a tree. And tree kills cinnamon because of, and we have to go on break. And now it's time to go on break. A tree kills cinnamon and it's time to go on break.

00:29:21

Erin

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Adal

Erin, I don't know if I can record today. I just feel so distraught about our friend down there in the sewers.

Erin

Adal, he's okay. He's probably just doing rat stuff, like eating garbage and being like... But if you're feeling stressed, we should find someone for you to talk to about it.

Adal

I've heard that there's a rat biting people and they're turning into JPCs.

???

Hmm. Hmm.

00:33:41

Adal

Yeah, maybe he chose this.

Erin

Ugh, this sweater's so hot. Why am I wearing a sweater during the summer? Ugh.

Adal

Erin pulls down sunglasses. Erin, baby, get with the times.

Erin

Alright, cool vibe.

Adal

It's summer-ish, perhaps, and you have to go to Quince to get some lightweight, breathable Quince wearables.

Erin

Oh, that sounds so nice. I love Quince.

JPC

Yeah, everything at Quince is priced 50-80% less than similar brands and they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen so you're paying for quality, not brand markup, Erin.

Erin

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

00:34:45

Adal

Erin

Yum.

Adal

Wait, what? Summer, baby.

Erin

And this is Lou. I'm wearing a funny top hat. And here's a picture of Lou. And she's just laying in the sun. She's so cute. And here's Lou. Look how gray her snoot is getting. She's just so precious. I'm so obsessed with my dog.

JPC

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

00:35:47

Erin

Oh yes, yes. 91% of dog parents say their pup is an important member of the family, and 40% would even save their dog over a human stranger. Safe to say people are obsessed, and I'm one of them. And that's why I gave my dog Ollie. Ollie's fresh recipes are developed by real chefs and backed by vet nutritionists. They're obsessed with making the best meals with the highest quality ingredients.

JPC

Yeah, plus from the moment you start your subscription to Ollie, everything is tailored to your pup. The meals are perfectly portioned, and you get a pup tainer and scoop for easy storing and serving. My dog Spaghetti absolutely loves Ollie food. Around 4 o'clock every day, she starts snapping at me because it's like, I'm like, yeah, it's kind of almost dinner time. But she is so excited for dinner time since we switched to Ollie.

Adal

Oh look, Lou's getting near the microphone. What is it, Lou? Ollie.

???

Ollie.

???

Now.

Erin

That's not her voice. I'm obsessed with her. I can tell you what her voice is. This is her voice. With Ollie, you don't just get food. Through their app, you can actually check on your dog's health with real vets. Just by uploading a picture, their team can check up on your dog's weight, digestion, teeth, and cope because they're obsessed with making sure your pup is as healthy as can be. And that's me, Lou, and this is my voice.

That's John Travolta in a dog suit. No, it's- Yeah, that's John Travolta. Look at the beret. Guys, I wish it weren't true, but it's her voice. Hey Riddle Riddle Okay, and we're back, and Erin, you were just saying, why, tree-killed sediment, or...?

Erin

Tree kills cinnamon because... Wait, hold on. What's that sound? Is that Grogu squirting?

JPC

No, that's Claire de Lune. Casey, now we gotta do it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Let's... Let's... No, no, no, no.

00:38:07

Erin

Pig is not a pig. He's a Yoda.

Adal

Wow. Wow. That's my phrase of the year. Grogu's not a pig. He's a Yoda.

Erin

Right?

Adal

Erin, I'm going to be shouting that from a convertible later tonight. High on cocaine.

???

Grogu's not a piggy, he's a squirter! Or is it Yoda?

Erin

Someone's house.

???

Grogu's not a piggy, he's a squirter!

Adal

That's my John Cusack say anything stereo over the head.

Erin

Yeah, it's just say anything and it's playing on the boombox, but instead of in your eyes by Peter Gabriel It's me saying squirt anything Okay, do we have more of these three fur riddles? No, those are done and now we're moving on to a very very sweet listener Dan from Warwick, England Found a book in the UK

???

Okay, okay.

00:39:08

Erin

That is a riddle book. And Dan basically sent us the entire thing. Like scanned the book.

Adal

That is incredible. Okay, cool. So now it's on it. Can I just say, oh please.

Erin

Oh no, please.

Adal

Can I say anytime we get any sort of international riddles, they're always absolutely delightful. Maybe sometimes hard to parse, but I feel like they're so much more fun because of their sort of, um, the language and, uh, yeah, the time.

JPC

It's crazy that these guys over there have like their whole fucked up language. What is it?

Erin

It stands on one leg, with its heart in its head.

00:40:09

JPC

It stands on one leg with its heart in its head. It's like an artichoke.

Erin

So close. So close.

Adal

Good.

Erin

Probably the same family. Very close. So close.

JPC

What did you say, James? I said lettuce.

Erin

Very close. Irish lettuce. I have this on St. Patrick's Day.

Adal

Cabbage? Oh, cabbage. It is cabbage?

Erin

Yes.

Adal

Wow. That's a good one. Have you guys ever seen asparagus grow? Like a farm that grows asparagus?

???

Have you guys ever seen Grow Goose squirt?

Adal

Listen, I don't know if the images I saw were real, but I saw An image online that was just asparagus growing and it just looks like someone placed stalks in the dirt, which is maybe what someone did.

00:41:19

Erin

Oh my God, Adal, it looks like a little kid going, look what asparagus is growing.

Adal

Look, I made a farm. Mom, I made a farm.

Erin

That's so silly. Yeah. That's really cute of asparagus to just be straightforward like that.

JPC

I told you guys that I impulse bought a grill this weekend and I've been grilling basically all weekend and I have grilled asparagus twice. Asparagus on the grill, so fucking good. Olive oil, salt and pepper, a little lemon. Oh my fucking god.

Erin

That picture you sent of you grilling, I was like, wow, you have fully turned into dad.

JPC

You are a dad. It unlocked something in me. It unlocked something in me to just be standing there, like, letting an impossible burger cook as I'm, like, drinking a non-alcoholic beer and I'm like, fake meat, fake beer, real dad, real America, baby. That's awesome. Letting off some fireworks. Fuck it. Who cares? I'm a new guy.

Adal

Big t-shirt says I love chocolate booties.

00:42:21

Erin

Oh, you know what? I'll get you a fun kind of pun apron that you can cook in. Like one of those grill aprons.

???

Hey, honestly, if it says I love chocolate booties.

Erin

You know it's gonna say that, right? And you know I'm gonna make more and tell you to wear it.

JPC

I'm like trying to think of which one my wife would less enjoy. She's like, hey, you know what? I actually don't think I like the chocolate booty or the grogu. I like them equally.

Erin

Don't speak for her. I think she might like both. I won't. My tail is long. You know who she does like? Beverly Shubadoo.

JPC

Oh.

Erin

If Beverly Shubadoo wore that apron, she wouldn't enjoy it.

JPC

Everybody in this house likes Shubadoo.

Erin

Even me. No, you're lying. My tail is long. My coat is brown. I like the country. I like the town. I can live in a house or live in a shed. And I come out to play when you are in bed.

Adal

Sounds like a Babadook situation.

00:43:22

Erin

Yes.

Adal

I have a tail. I have a head. My tail is long.

Erin

My coat is brown. Not always, by the way. That's misleading about the coat color. I live in a country. I like the town. No, I like the country. I like the town. I can live in a house or live in a shed. And I come out to play once you're in bed.

Adal

You know how to play once you're in bed, huh? At first I thought it was like a broom or something. Is this like an owl? Is this a living thing?

Erin

You know, it's something that is living. Owl feels kind of closer.

JPC

Owls are nocturnal. Rat.

Erin

So close.

JPC

Rat?

Adal

Raccoon?

Erin

Cat! Cat! No.

Adal

Way closer to a rat. Mouse?

Erin

Yes, it's a mouse!

Adal

I do want to see a scene. Erin, you are a mouse and you have the strength of a human. At JPC, you are a, I want to say, fish tar.

00:44:31

Erin

Can you go ahead and be, what is it? I'm trying to think of your costume for life shows. Skunk? Skunky badgers.

JPC

I want to say Fishtar is like, I don't know if that's ever been said in the history of anything. I want to say Fishtar.

Erin

Fishtar and Grogu go to the mall or whatever they're talking about this past weekend.

Adal

I'd like to say, Erin, you're a nocturnal barn mouse. JPC, you are the owner of the farm. And you, for the first time, have stayed up to catch the mouse who's kind of been eating your grains and causing havoc, wreaking havoc.

???

I caught you. I caught you, you little bastard.

???

No, no, you're dreaming. You're dreaming.

???

Fuck.

???

Ah, man. God damn it.

Erin

I was really hoping this was... I'm actually your ex-wife. And this is a projection of your subconscious of how you see her. And shame on you. Oh, great.

???

God damn it. This is just great.

00:45:32

Erin

Wow.

???

And you're right, of course.

Erin

Well... You know what your subconscious is telling you to do? Let her go.

JPC

Hook up. I bet we're gonna hook up.

Erin

Oh. Welcome to First of all, yeah, right.

JPC

Well, I guess I better get to it.

Erin

No, no, me, you're... Here we go. Alright, cut to us.

JPC

No, no, no, I insist. I absolutely insist. It is time to start hooking up.

Erin

Oh, you didn't want to cut forward in time to us smoking a cigarette in the bed? You want us to show the whole thing? Fine. I'm not scared.

???

Let's describe what happened. Scene. Scene, scene, scene.

Erin

Oh, scene? Now all of a sudden you're a coward? Yeah, right. Yeah, right.

00:46:32

JPC

Just realizing you're dreaming and being like, well, I could dream anything, but I guess I'll hook up with a mouse.

Erin

Um, we've had this one before, so we'll just go through it quickly.

JPC

We've had that scene about hooking up with a mouse before?

Erin

God dammit. What is it? Has a mouth and does not speak. Has a bed and does not sleep.

JPC

River. Yes.

Erin

I sleep by day, I fly by night. I have no feathers to aid my flight.

JPC

Witch's broom. Witch's broom!

Erin

No.

JPC

Come on. I love a red eye. Oh my god, I love a red eye. What'll it be? Uh, gin and tonic. And boy do I need it. I've been, uh, ridden hard and put away wet, if you know what I'm saying.

Adal

Oh, yeah, I hear you, buddy. I hear you.

JPC

Been one of those weeks.

Adal

Can I just, uh, copy your ID real quick?

00:47:32

JPC

Come on, man. Look at my bristles.

Adal

I just, I have, I'm so, I don't have any way of knowing.

JPC

Well, I don't have a purse. I mean, look at me, man. I don't, I don't carry an ID.

Adal

Uh, who was, who was which president in 84?

JPC

I'm a broom, not a witch, man. I don't know. I could tell you who broom president is. These tests are all... You know, it's like... Can I just... You guys have president? What? Well, no. We have a monarchy, but... I mean, it's the same. If I told you who was broom king, right, that would have been... It would mean nothing to you.

Adal

Yeah.

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

You see, it cuts to a Swiffer on a throne.

JPC

His name is Sweet Flo the Mighty and he was a good king. That's all I could say.

Erin

I'm doing a full episode the next time I'm in charge of Sweet Flo the Mighty. Keep going.

JPC

Can I just get a gin and tonic? I just got off work. I only have one day off, which is Don't Witch on Sundays. And then I gotta be back in there Monday morning. I just would love a fucking drink, if that's not too much to ask.

00:48:36

Adal

And buddy, I want to give it to you. I just can't have my license taken, my bar license taken away because I served a, you know, unripened broom or whatever. Unripened? You know what I mean. Like, if I'm going to snap you and you bend and not break, that means you're like, what? That means you're under 21.

JPC

Here we go. Bend you if not break. Sure.

Adal

I'm not, but I'm, hey, it's just, it's an expression.

JPC

Fuck man. Okay. Look, if you want to go to the back and snap me, What's going on?

Adal

If anything, I could use some help under the piano. I can't reach. Oh! Oh, be cool, be cool, be cool.

???

You're ignoring my phone calls and texts.

00:49:37

JPC

Is she talking to me or is she talking to you?

???

We have an emergency. Come on, Broomie.

Adal

Uh, ladies, ladies, please. Uh, I have some, um, uh, uh, toad potion on the house. Some shots. Some shots of, uh, toad potion here.

???

I shouldn't drink and drive.

JPC

Come on, just one. Come on. Come on. Come on. Well, yeah, well, I'm sorry. I've been ducking your calls. We'll go back to work. Let's just do a quick toad potion. You know, it's been a day. Let's do a toad potion.

Erin

All right, but just one. Take a shot. Tick tock on a clock. It's the three of them drinking.

Adal

They're in a convertible, top down, screaming, uh, Grogu's not a pig, he's a Yoda. Which has 20?

???

Fuck! Fuck! I'm ruined!

Adal

No, no, no. Hit or stay. Hit or stay. I'm not gonna hit her. Blackjack, Blackjack, we're playing Blackjack. I'm not gonna hit her.

Erin

Hit! On a 20? I slap, I slap the dealer.

00:50:39

???

Hit!

Adal

Which has 21.

Erin

We're at the Magic Mike show. The broom's getting a lap dance.

Adal

If you want it.

Erin

Alright.

Adal

They're at Cirque du Soleil, stoned out of their mind.

Erin

We'll see you then.

JPC

Sleep by day. Is this like a bat?

Erin

Yes, it's a bat.

JPC

Oh, fuck. I forgot bats don't have feathers.

Erin

I'd like to see a scene. Adal, you are a bat dad and you are taking your son, who is also a bat, to a doctor's appointment, but it's during the day and the sun is really fussy that he has to be awake during the day.

Adal

Hey champ, come on, we gotta go. You have to get your eyesight tested.

JPC

I don't think we have eyesight. Isn't it all echolocation?

00:51:41

Adal

No, that's a rumor. What do we say about rumors? What's the rhyme I taught you about rumors? If rumors were tumors, and lies were pies, we'd have a bunch of inedible... Thighs? That's right.

JPC

Yeah, because you always say going down on another bat is something that you simply won't do.

Adal

It's just not for me.

JPC

Yeah, no.

Adal

It's just not for me.

JPC

Grogu's a squirter.

Adal

We all understand. Ah, okay.

???

Hey, where did you hear that? I just heard it at school. What did you say to me? Grogu is a squirter?

JPC

I don't even know what I'm saying. I thought... Grabbed you by the ear.

???

Where did you hear that?

JPC

I thought I heard it... David? I heard it from you, Dad.

Adal

Oh my God, have I been saying gross?

JPC

That's how you echolocate. You've been saying it and letting it bounce off walls in the house, and that's how I know it. I learned it from you.

00:52:45

Adal

I told you not to listen to my echolocates.

???

Fuck.

???

Fuck.

JPC

Shit.

???

It's kind of hard not to. Fucking. God damn it.

Adal

And I heard it from Erin Keif on the podcast Hey Riddle Riddle. You know what? I'm going to give Erin Keif a call. House call, that is. Of course we don't have phones. Of course. Of course.

Erin

I fall down the stairs to go get the door.

???

Hi, it's Erin. What's up? How can I help you?

Adal

Hey, are you okay? Is that an owl at the top of the stairs that pushed you?

Erin

Oh, funny. I am not interested in- Baby, baby, come back to bed.

JPC

Who is it?

???

Grogu, give me a minute, baby.

Adal

Listen, something you said on your podcast that I accidentally repeated in the home is simply disgusting and I just want you to hear it from me, a bat listener.

00:53:46

Erin

I've been here a thousand times. Go back and listen. Was I actually the first person to say that thing? Here's Adal's address. Here's JPC's address. Your beef is not with me. Your beef is not with me, sir. Absolutely not. I do not take accountability for my own actions. I am not responsible for the things I say or do, sir. Do you understand?

Adal

Okay, well I'm gonna go ahead and fuck that owl and I'm gonna hit these addresses and I'll be right back.

Erin

Oh, it was an owl up there. Yes, that makes sense.

Adal

Shows up to Adal's house, sees a hundred foot skeleton. Oh, he's an ally. Keeps driving. Flying, I mean. Flying. Bats don't have cars. Arrives at JPC's house. Ding dong.

JPC

Hey man, don't ring the fucking bell. You're supposed to leave the gordita and then just take the picture or whatever and then walk away.

Adal

Well, here is the gordita. I am a Uber Eats.

JPC

Ugh. Did you bat on this? The fuck?

Adal

No, that's sour cream.

JPC

Thank God.

00:54:46

Adal

Listen, something you said on a episode of, I'm not just an Uber Eats delivery bat, I'm also a listener.

JPC

I said that?

Adal

No, something you said on the podcast.

???

Get your fucking story straight.

JPC

Is this your kid? Yes, my son. Your kid's about to see his bat dad get his bat ass kicked.

Adal

Excuse me?

JPC

Your kid is about to see his bat dad get his bat ass kicked. Oh yeah?

Adal

Takes off earrings, takes off Uber Eats hat. Your dog is about to see you get rabies, bitch. Oh yeah?

JPC

Well you're- Can we cut to the hospital? Yeah, so basically I think a bat got in my house.

Erin

Just say you did a weird sex thing, sir. We don't have time for these made-up stories.

JPC

Okay. Seems like the customer's always right. I don't know why. I'm not a customer.

Adal

I love being in a hospital and saying the customer's always right.

JPC

Whatever happened to the customer's always right? You know what I'm saying?

00:55:47

Erin

It has four legs and a foot and can't walk. It has a head and can't talk. Oh nice, that works. My face is pale and full and fair, and round its beauty spots are there. By day, indeed, I seem less bright. I'm only seen sometimes at night. And when the sun has gone to bed, oh come on, I then begin to show my head.

JPC

Don't talk about my friend Erin like that.

Adal

Is this some sort of flower?

Erin

No.

???

Show my head.

JPC

Like the moon?

Erin

Oh the moon, you got it.

JPC

It's the moon. I love the moon.

Erin

You guys are going to love this one. Flip-flop-fleezy. When it's in, it is easy.

JPC

Don't talk about my friend like that.

Adal

Little bedroom talk, huh? Flip-flop pleasey when it's in and it's easy.

00:56:50

Erin

That is how you call someone a slut in the 1930s. Flip-flop pleasey.

JPC

She's a flip-flop pleasey.

Erin

When it is in, it is easy. And when it is out, it flops all about. Flip-flop pleasey. That's the mantra me and the girls say when we're about to have a night out, to be slut. Girls, next time you're about to go out with your friends, when you're cheersing, everyone go, flip-flop-fleezy. When it is in, it is easy.

???

And when it is out, it flops all about. Flip-flop-fleezy.

Erin

Yes, what's your scene?

Adal

I feel like that was better than any scene I've ever done.

Erin

What is the answer to that riddle?

Adal

Flip-flop-fleezy. When I'm in, it's easy. What does fleazy mean in this?

Erin

When it is in, it is easy. I don't know what that means. That is confusing to me.

Adal

So is this still from the book from the person from Warwick, England? Yeah. Because this sounds like a note that like Jack the Ripper would leave behind on a body or something. Yeah. Yeah. Like this seems like meant to be confounding. Can you read it one more time?

00:58:02

Erin

Yes. Flip-flop-fleezy. When it is in, it is easy. And when it is out, it flops all about. Flip-flop-fleezy.

JPC

Is it a fish? It is a fish. Yeah, we both got it. We both got it!

Erin

I'd like you to see a scene. JPC, you are a slutty fish. Adal, you are also a fish.

JPC

Awful.

Adal

Hey, good morning, Mike.

JPC

Hey, morning. Morning, Chris.

Adal

Hey, whoa. Is that work appropriate attire? Sorry, I'm tongue-tied.

JPC

Obviously, I did not get a chance to go home this weekend. Kind of wearing the same thing I wore out Friday night to work on a Monday.

Adal

Yeah, I can see your fish panties. Fish panties. Yes. Hard to say. Fish panties.

JPC

Fish panties, aka my scales.

Adal

Looking pretty good. Oh, oh, the boss is coming. The boss.

???

Oh, the boss is coming.

Erin

Hey, everybody.

???

I hope you had a nice... Yeah, no worms yet. No worms yet.

Adal

We're looking. We're looking.

00:59:03

Erin

No, no, don't. I'm not trying to stress anyone out. I actually had a pretty good weekend.

???

Oh, details. Yeah, you're telling me I can... Oh, are you gasping for air?

Erin

Yeah, that was part of it. Um, anyways.

Adal

Wait a minute. Gasping for air?

Erin

I'll see you guys later.

Adal

Missing some scales? Grill marks?

Erin

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I enjoyed some seafood this weekend. What's up?

Adal

Mr. Williams, did you... Did you get... No. Were you on land?

Erin

Me?

JPC

Yeah. Yeah. Why do you smell like lemons and capers? Were you on land?

Erin

I was trying to imply that you and I sort of had fun this weekend, but you're right. I was on land and I ate fish. I prefer a bed of lettuce to any other kind, and frolicking about is most often on my mind. My ears are long, my short... and short my tail. If you try to catch me, you will fail.

01:00:12

???

This is a rabbit.

Erin

It is a rabbit.

???

I tried to short his tail. Ended up with my fucking shirt on the floor. What's happening?

Adal

I do want to see a scene. This is Erin, you are Bugs Bunny. Great. GBC, you are Elmer Fudd. Okay. And for the first time, you guys are just seeing what happens if you go out on a first date.

Erin

And we've sort of been the will they won't they of this, huh?

JPC

Do you mind if I just talk normal? Since we're not at work, do you mind if I just talk normal? This is Dutch, right? We're going splitsies on this.

Erin

It's not a situation where... Hey, I feel like you're really trying to distance yourself from this being a date. You're stressed about who's paying. Like, I'll pay.

JPC

I've obviously... I asked you out, but I asked you out.

Erin

Yeah, but it seems like that's why I'm getting mixed messages because it just feels confusing because you you asked me out and now you're sort of being cold and weird.

JPC

I... Oh, okay.

01:01:13

Erin

No, no, just like... I didn't realize I was... No, not weird. It just seems like you're being like uncomfortable and I just want... Should I get my gun?

JPC

No, no, no. Should I get my gun? Would it help if I just got my gun?

Erin

We don't have to do our work persona.

JPC

That's what I want. I don't want that.

Erin

That's what I'm saying. Are you nervous because I'm like top of the call sheet? Like I just I feel like we're equals with Ben.

???

Top?

Erin

I mean, I'm literally at the top of the call sheet.

???

Top?

Erin

Yeah.

???

You? Oh, okay.

Erin

Oh, I mean bottom in this context, but in top in like... Thank you!

JPC

Is that, is that why you're, is this like a weird... I just feel like you feel like I'm being weird, but I don't feel like I'm being weird.

Erin

Okay, great.

JPC

Let's just start over. Yeah, let's just start over. I would love, I would love that. I would just love to start over. Okay.

Erin

Great. Great.

JPC

Should we get the poutine or that insane choice poutine on the first day?

Erin

Yeah, I think I was thinking like the carrot soup to start. You know, soup's not easy to share, but you're welcome to.

01:02:18

JPC

One of the hardest things to share. You're not like, you're not gonna only eat carrots tonight, are you? Because this is like a nice

Erin

This is weird. This is weird. Do you feel how this is weird? We're being like bad dates to each other. Are we trying to sabotage this?

JPC

You know what it is? Is that we fucked first.

Erin

You're right.

JPC

Which I think... You're right. Like that's, yeah.

Erin

That's out of order.

JPC

It's out. It's completely out of order.

Erin

And now the date feels forced. I totally know what you mean. What if we just fuck again?

JPC

Oh my God. I would love to just fuck again.

Erin

And then we'll see. Then we can like reassess after that.

JPC

For sure. Yep. Yep.

Erin

It cuts to them having a threesome with... The pig in that's not a grogu, right?

Adal

Porky's a pig, not a grogu.

Erin

Can we do a voicemail?

JPC

Yeah, yeah, why not?

Erin

Never sent a voicemail.

01:03:31

???

You don't know when they'll play it, but there's a thrill to not knowing. It's a mystery just like a riddle.

Adal

who

JPC

They said, voicemail theme under 30 seconds, packed with heart. I love every part of it. Thank you, Charles.

Adal

That was outstanding.

???

A blast. Hi, Clue Crew. My name is Emma, and I found out over Thanksgiving that I have gallstones and I need to get my gallbladder removed. So what do you think is the best way for me to ask if I can at least keep one of the stones in the jar? Thanks, guys. Love you.

Adal

Thank you for the question and the voicemail. Yes.

01:04:33

Erin

Okay, so Emma— Sorry that that happened.

JPC

Yeah, and it's not our fault. Well, we don't know that. And it doesn't have anything to do with a Riddle podcast. Don't show up to our doors. Can I give you gallstones as far as we know?

Adal

I don't know if this is true, Emma, but earlier I believe JPC said at the hospital the customer is always right. So I think if you request the gallstone bladder to go, they cannot refuse you.

JPC

They just have to put one of those little stickers on it so you don't drink it at the hospital.

Erin

I think maybe be casual about it. Be like, yeah, I want it for normal reasons. I'm casual about it.

JPC

Yeah, say it on the way out.

Erin

Oh, yeah.

JPC

Oh, I almost forgot. You know, because when you go to the hospital, they take your clothes, they put them in a bag or whatever, and they give you your clothes when you leave because you have to wear the gown there. Be searching through your clothes and be like, oh my God, my gallstones not here. I did bring one and it was in the pocket. I guess If you just give me one of the ones that you have, that's fine. Like it doesn't need to be... I'm not the kind of person that it needs to be my gallstone. So just like any gallstone will do.

01:05:41

Erin

In my experience, doctors don't love it when women talk too much. So if you get really chatty about it, you can go, actually, I think I might have to move for work in a couple weeks. And can I hold on to these in case I go see a specialist in another state and they want to test it or see it? Just for my peace of mind, like, if you just talk a lot, they're gonna... Today we're

JPC

on the show. I love it when they drink the gallstone in Indiana Jones and then the guy just, his face fucking melts.

01:06:51

Adal

It's a chicken gallstone. And now for the antidote. My last answer in sincerity would be, I think if you asked to, what I found in a hospital is if you ever asked like, can I see it? Once they like show it to you, like present it in a cloth or something or let you hold it. Once they do that, you can say like, can I just, can I have this? They're usually amenable to that. So I would say, ask to see it or say like, I'd love to see it. Once the operation's done, I'd love to see it. And they might have it in like a little vial, a little jar. And then they, I don't think they care if you take it or not.

JPC

Every time, and it's been very few times, I've ever had something removed from my body via surgery. They've always been like, no, we can't give it to you because it's a biohazard as soon as it's off your body, yada, yada, yada. But the thing that I don't know if it'll actually work, but it might be worth a try, is claim some religious exemption. Like, I need this for whatever religion I am. And they're all fake, so just pick one. I mean, you know, you could be like... Well, they're not all fake. I'm sorry.

Erin

Scientology is real.

01:07:52

JPC

Yes, fine, fine. Scientology real. But yeah, pick something like that and then see if you could like skate by on like a religious exemption. That's that's my real advice.

Erin

I think JPC's throwing a bunch of call stones advice is the one.

JPC

I mean, that's what I'm actually doing.

Erin

Adal, do you have anything to plug?

Adal

I want to plug Hello from the Magic Tavern. We just ended our, I want to say, sixth season, I believe. So check out Hello from the Magic Tavern. Please check out the Word Association. And please check out Gumshoes and Dragons, our podcast with Anthony Burch, which is a rollicking good time. Erin, do you have anything to plug or promote?

Erin

You can check out Quality Time. It's a show I host in Los Angeles. It's once a month. You can follow us on Instagram to find the day and time. And I am trying to see what date this comes out, the 10th. I'm going to wait another week for the rest of the plugs I'm going to do. JPC, do you have a review to read or anything to plug?

01:08:52

JPC

Oh yeah, I'd love to read a review. This one comes from Savon maybe? Savon5? Savonet? Doesn't matter. Help me solve my microwave mystery. This podcast helped me solve a mystery that has been plaguing me for years. This riddle podcast featured a riddle about a woman who microwaves her coffee for 2 extra seconds. The answer, of course, is that she wants the mug handle to be facing her when she opens the microwave door. This helped me solve the riddle of why my microwave sometimes, but not always, adds a few extra seconds to the time I punch it on the clock. Thank you Erin, Adal, and JPC for helping demystify my world one microwave at a time. And as always, obligatory, I have to say, I do not remember that riddle.

Adal

I remember that one.

JPC

Wow, he remembers that.

Erin

Crazy.

Adal

Erin, you, you're actually in the market for a new microwave because you put something in there you're not supposed to put in there. Erin, what'd you put in your microwave?

Erin

A squirting Grogu. Hot dogs! And now I can't cook my hot dogs in there anymore.

JPC

This is the way.

Erin

Sometimes you just have to lean into it.

JPC

Yeah, that's what Sheryl Sandberg would say.

Erin

Go with the tide.

01:09:52

JPC

Mmhmm. The hot dog tide.

???

Oh, wonderful. Okay. Any notes?

JPC

Um, yeah, Casey, just go ahead and keep one for yourself.
