This is a Head Gum Podcast. Hey everybody and welcome back to the $8 tier review crew. That is right. Based on your votes this month we reviewed the 1981 porno, Sherlock Bones and the adventure of the engineers cock. So Adel. Some of us reviewed it several times. I gotta say, the 80s that was the time for porn parodies. Tell me why. Tell me why. I think it was the lighting. It was before the hoolification came along and turned all of the color of the world down to the level that we're at now. But the 80s man, oh they knew how to light a porno. Let's list some more that we didn't review. Yeah. Oh so the other options on the poll. Well there, okay yeah, we didn't review Robocock, we all watched it and we thought there's not enough here. People hate when we review something so good that there's just not enough there. Missionary, impossible. Yeah from 81. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. I did it, didn't I? I followed the rules. I did it, didn't I? Darren is so young. So young. She can't possibly fathom a time before Mission Impossible won with Thumb Crews. Phillips you more hot? Apocalypse Nips now. Apocalypse Nips now. Apocalypse Nips. That was out by 1980. Yes. Right? Yeah, sure. Apocalypse now. I love the smell of Nips. Nips in the morning. Butch Cassidy in the Sundance. Oh no. Butch Cacadine. Cacadine, we're gonna do it. Oh you know what Casey says, Aaron, Mission Impossible, the show was in the 60s. So everybody shut up. We were talking about the 80s so that worked out. That was great. We're a window. Okay, what would that be? Yeah, we're a window, that works. You're right. I have something to say. This is actually a big joke on you guys because this isn't even a review career episode. I made you guys watch those 80s pornoes for absolutely nothing. Well, nothing. Not for nothing. The bass guitar was incredible. I learned so much about the bass guitar. About the bass guitar. This is just an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle the podcast. I'm JPC. I'm Adolfine. And I'm Sherlock Bones of myself. I'm gonna solve all the riddles and puzzles today. Is there a better one than Sherlock Bones for a porn parody of Sherlock Holmes? I don't know. Sherlock Bones and Whetsons. And Watch Some. Watch Some. That was a Shercock. Could it be like Shercock Holmes and Watch Some? Yeah. You know? A study in Two of the Pink. What else? Yeah. The Hounds of Butzerville. The Hounds of Butzerville. I don't know. That is one of my worst ever. Pretty incredible. Have you guys ever read a Sherlock Holmes book? I read The Hounds of Baskerville in eighth grade. I remember having to read like a section of it for school, but I've never read a book. I don't know. I don't think I ever read any Sherlock Holmes because they're from like the early 19th century, right? Or I guess the early 19th century. I think, yeah, early 1900s maybe. Yeah. I remember reading in the same school year, we read Hounds of Baskerville and I was like, this is fine. And then we read Mask of the Red Death. I think which is by Edgar Unpo. And I thought that was incredible. And I thought Hounds of Baskerville was fine. Doggy style day afternoon. 12 anal men. Doggy style day afternoon delight. We play that game, but we just keep adding to it. I don't know. Back up the taxi driver. I haven't investigated it, but I don't know if the Sherlock Holmes books are books where you as the reader can get the mystery or if Sherlock Holmes is like, I know the mystery because of secret information that, you know, I haven't given you yet type of thing where he's like, I intuited this, but you, the humble reader did not. Yeah, I feel like there is, it is a little tricky in terms of like they hold their cards close to the chest from what I remember, but this is eighth grade. So yeah, hey, it's a crap shoot. You remember the title of our eighth grade. That's hey, to me, that's still pretty impressive. Well, I think better to come to batch and Martin Freeman gave a little bit of a help. They keep they kind of give you the pump sale of that one for later in life. Oh, yeah. I'm trying to think of one for Jaws. Here. Yep. What's up? Hey, I don't. Sweet. Kiss a mockingbird. And it's sort of like. Okay. Yeah, let's make a more romantic and less horny. More romantic and less horny. I've 12 kissing men kissing impossible. 12 angry kisses. Talk to hate after kiss. His fellows. Kisser. What if God kiss her? What if you watched a port parody called kiss fellas? It's like, it's like two steps below soft core. You guys are sort of like henchmen in Godfellas. You're in that universe and you guys are in a car on a job. You're about to like show someone why they messed with the wrong guys. And one of you is going to admit that you're in love with the other one. I'm the I call Joe Pesci one. Wait. I'm a Joe Pesci one. OK, but are we in the movie Godfellas? I know you're in Goodfellas. We'll have you. OK, we'll have you been good fellas. And we're in good fellas. We're just in love. OK. So I took him to the desert and I said, I said, start digging. Classic classic move. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Did he did he do it? He did it. They're never going to find them. Oh, I got so many holes in the desert. No one's going to find them. I can never get up to dig in the desert because they know, you know. Yeah, yeah, like I don't think I'm like if you're going to kill me doing sewer pipes out here. I think I probably think of my own grave, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair. That's fair. Fellas, if you get a kill me, just kill me. Oh, yeah. Start digging. Yeah. Well, not in the car. Well, well, well, well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well I shot me in the chest. Huh? You shot me in the chest and it didn't kill me dead, oh my god. They always say aim for center mass. And I'm from center mass. Oh, and you are? I'm from center mass. We got so much in common. It's like we finish each other's Gabagool. Zed. Oh, brother. We finish each other's soap or sod. We finish each other's. We finish each other's. Pesces. Samuages. Pesces. Murders. We finish each other's murders. Aw. Stand by cock. Stand by second person I'm about to sleep with. Hey, let's do riddles. Why? Yeah, I guess we could do riddles. It's probably better than what we were playing. Pulp friction. Okay. Pulp friction sounds. That's not good. All right. Yeah. Okay. Gone with the winded after sex. Aaron, get on top, sweetie. This is just lower than Spital Tap. Okay. Okay, we really ran out. All right, now I'm convinced we ran out. Let's do riddles. Yeah. All right, let's do some riddles here. Okay. How is everyone? We doing good? No. GPC just came out with the best one. Now we're done with them and he did the best one. I'm miserable over here. Asking how is everyone 10 minutes into a group conversation? How is everyone? In 2026, in late March of 2020, it's a whore crime. That is a war crime to do with people. Yep. Okay, here's a riddle. I am constantly on the move and yet always at home. What am I? A broom bath? It's a snail. Snail, crab, crab. Oh, that makes more sense than what I said. And I do have to have a quick side conversation with GPC. Of course, I'll see you guys later. GPC, do you think crabs are kind of like snails where they can get out of their shells? I mean, we can take them out of their shells, of course. I think. I bet they're talking about me. I bet my ears are burning. Hold on now. I really do think that they are. Do hermit crabs find different shells? Now, okay. Now hermit crabs can find different shells. Oh, okay. Now you were saying it, I do sound insane. I'm starting to think that they're not talking about you because they're smiling. That's like saying like a lobster takes off a shell and like changes. Yeah. A little, like, what do mermaids do? They put little starfish pasties around over. Or clamshell pasties. That's like saying like as dogs grow older, they like crawl into different dog hair. They like sort of edgine their way in. Yes, it is a snail and I would like to see a scene. Hey guys. Oh, Aaron, I'm so sorry. I forgot to let me open the door. Sorry about that. You were trying to squeeze through the mail slot. No, that's fine. I'm fine. I peed outside. I did my business. I'm ready to come back in. You seem stuck in the mail slot. Can someone just either pull me from the front or push me from the back? Casey clip it. No. Clip it on that long. Casey go in and clip that all. Yeah, for me. GBC, aren't you numb? Aren't you numb at this point? It's actually, Aaron, it's like, it's like stabbing myself with a little needle. It's the only thing. I don't love the way it makes me feel, but just to feel. Just to feel it all. Anything, you know? All right, I'm ready for my scene. Snail makes me think of course of snail mail, not the artist, but the post-sale. Oh, wow. Yeah, you're right. So I do want to see a scene where JPC will have you be a post-postman. Aaron, you are someone who owns a home and JPC, you're dropping off the mail and Aaron, you've nowadays, it's just all junk mail. So you're having sort of a hard conversation with your mailman about not wanting what he's giving out. Here's what I won't do, Adel. I won't play Post Malone, but only because I don't know how to do it. I don't know what he sounds like, but it was all I was thinking about, but I will instead do the scene that you just want. I want to say a song is like... I know Sunflower, you're my Sunflower. I know that Spider-Man one. But I think he's done a bunch of country things there. That's the same one I was saying. That's what I was saying. All right, so instead, I'll be a postman who is delivering the mail to Aaron and then delay on his what? Oh my God, he truly wasn't listening. No, I was, but then I talked about Post Malone too much. I feel like now. You're bringing me mail that I don't want. Oh, I feel like nowadays, all mail is junk mail. So it's just Aaron kind of trying to shut this down. Unfortunately, this is the only thing keeping the postal industry alive because the only people that sent this is junk mail. Ha! Nailing my mail slot, shut. Oh, federal crime. No. No, it's a federal crime. Do you live here? Yes, this is my house. Nevermind. Turn around. Technically, I hate to be this guy, but that is property of the federal government. It's actually not, it's at your property, even though it's on your house, it kind of belongs. It's my door. You're addicted to giving me nonsense mail. You have a problem, man. You can turn around, walk away. The companies and request that they stop sending you the mail. But I, if it comes, I have to deliver it to my people who require it. I tried that and now they send me text blasts every day. I wake up in the morning and I think I've gotten a text from the loved one. I get zero text from loved ones. And it's like, hey, have you tried this coupon code for some bullshit? There's a service that you can get that will remove all of those texts from your phone. And instead, what they'll do is they'll put it all in a letter and then they'll mail you that letter every day. So it's like, instead of getting the text, you can just get it all via the mail. If you want that service. I don't want that service. Okay, that's my company. I'm trying to start. I have a side gig. It's like, everybody has to have a side hustle. My side hustle is taking people's text messages and turning them into mail. That kind of helps my main hustle too. I'm not gonna lie. One hand feeding the other hand. Hey brother, I'm trying. One hand feeding, both hands feeding my mouth. Chips, are you familiar? Have you ever eaten chips with both hands? Please don't sell me on something. I'm trying to have a human moment with you. Please stop giving me mail. Now I'm thinking about a product that's a bag big enough that when you open it, you can get both hands inside and eat chips with both hands. Hey. Why chip bags? You know, chip bags are longer than, they're like taller than they are wide. What if instead it was a chip bag on its side with like a Ziploc thing? Brother, I got good news for you. What's that? My name is Mr. Wonderful. I'm from Shark Tank. Would you like to come on the show so we can hunt you for sport? Oh my God. I would love to sell you a Shark Tank. I have an idea for a tank. See. Although wait, JPC, sell me a Shark Tank. I truly don't want to sell you a Shark Tank, but I will say- Like as you don't have access to one? I know a zoo in Brookfield, Illinois that has an excellent Shark Tank. Now- Lincoln Park Zoo? Well, it's the Brookfield Zoo in Lincoln Park. Yes. What's funny is the Lincoln Park Zoo is the free zoo in Chicago. And the Lincoln Park Zoo is a pretty good zoo. It's a pretty good zoo. It's a pretty good free zoo. I prefer Brookfield is better. Brookfield is better, but I've been to Brookfield way more than I've been to the free one in Lincoln Park. I did the thing where I got myself a yearly membership to the zoo. No, okay. And then every time I'm not going to the zoo, I'm losing money basically. I would say San Diego, Columbus and St. Louis have the three best zoos I've ever- Oh. I've been to San Diego. I've been to Columbus. What was the third one? St. Louis. No, never been to St. Louis. I've never been to Columbus. What's going on over there in Columbus? I think Jack Hannah just set up a really nice foundation there. That makes sense. That makes sense. He came out of the Columbus Zoo, I believe. And so I think he just really, it drew a lot of people which boosted revenues, which allowed them to sort of expand and have just really nice programs and everything. So yeah, that's where it really is. Ah. Erin, have you ever been to a zoo? I feel like I'm in one right now. Ha ha ha ha. Do you see what we're gonna say? I would say that the, I don't know, I don't think it's like a zoo, but there's that park in Disney that Animal Kingdom is what it's called. Oh yeah. The Disney park where I think they also have animals, but I also- It's like a safari thing, yeah. Yeah, but they also have like Avatar World. But I think that all zoos should also have to include like some portion that's devoted to the Navi. Like if you're like a little zoo- Or any fantasy IP. I would like it if it was exclusively the Navi. Like it was like, hey, like we also believe in the conservation of the Navi people. We don't have a live Navi here, because it would be unethical, but- I feel like we're gonna convince an entire generation that the Navi are real. And I think it would be okay to do. It would be, I remember going on maybe five, six years ago, we went on the safari Animal Planet, Animal Kingdom. And it was like- Animal Planet is Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone's failed restaurant, right? Where they- It's a bunch of animals for movies. Gorilla serving you martinis. But I remember being on the safari, I was like, oh, this feels dangerous. Like it feels like too open air or something for Disney. Disneyland feels way safe. And it felt like this was like a bit of a risk. But it would be funny to see like hippos and rhinos or whatever. And then they're like, and here's a white boy with dreads. And no one, no one looked them in the eyes. I love spider. Aaron loves spider. Spider by far the worst character of the last, I wanna say since the beginning of cinema. I would say last 600 years. Yeah. I'm thinking back to something like Shakespeare plays. Thinking back to like Molière, Tartuffe. Yeah, yeah, hold on. Tartuffe. I'm thinking back to Tartuffe. I'm thinking we're back, Tartuffe. Yeah, I think we're back to Tartuffe. John Wick, John Wick talking theater. Tartuffe pulling his collar, looking at spider. Yeesh. You guys. What character have we here? Pirandello's like, six characters in search of an author, but not this guy, right? Spider was the lead of the newest avatar, the lead. Dante making a new circle outside of all those other circles being like, I gotta do one for ya. Brecht, Bertolt Brecht also making a circle right after shock. Yeah. The funniest part about Spider being the lead of that avatar movie is that he was like a big part of the first one and everyone was like, okay. James Cameron was like, no, I'ma make you love spider. I'm doubling the fuck down. I don't know. I went to the bathroom and to get a hot dog when I was watching the new avatar and I came back to. You went to the bathroom to get a hot dog? I went to the bathroom and to get a hot dog and I came, I was gone so long and I came back to my seat and violently dover to tell me what I had missed and I went, I don't care. Hot dog. It's like, oh yeah, I didn't miss anything. Did Erin say that she went to the bathroom to get a hot dog? Was that? Kasey, don't answer that question. Let's check the tape. You don't have to answer a question without your lawyer presence. If it's on the tape, I want a clip of it because I'll need it for later, obviously. I do like that our podcast is slowly becoming the NFL or we gotta review it. Yep. Better review. It's fucking boring to watch and it's people just hurting themselves. Yep. I do feel like that kid who plays Spider. It's a commercial suck. I feel like the kid who played Spider probably went to like an acting coach and they're like, oh dear boy, what brings you into acting school? And he's like, well, I just wrapped three avatar movies. And he's like, oh dear boy, you should have come before the movies. Not to get. James Cameron told me not to. Too far to the Spider of it all but it's one of the situations. It's actually a hard situation because a lot of times when I see like an actor in a movie who's absolutely whiffed, I'm like, that's partially on the actor. But that one, it's pretty easy to imagine that that guy, it's not really his fault because they're like, what are you acting against? You're acting against like a person covered in like tennis balls in a green screen. I don't think they're covered in tennis balls. Hey, Bob Hoskins did it. If Bob Hoskins can do it. But Bob Hoskins was an adult. He was a child, right? I think James Cameron's, I think he saw into the Spiderverse and he was like, that gives me an idea. Yes, yes. And I think he wanted to call Avatar 3, Avatar 3 into the Spiderverse. Beyond the Spiderverse, Avatar 3, beyond the Spiderverse. You should have gotten close to him. What if Miles Morales and Spider from Avatar did a buddy cop movie? Hold on, I can talk slower, I'm writing this down. Beyond the Spiderverse is coming out in 2027, which means it hasn't finished like principal animation, I imagine. Which means that they still have a chance to put Spider in as a cameo from an alternate universe where he is the Spider-Man of that universe. It's like in the, in Across the Spiderverse where Miles Morales is on whatever planet or dimension and there's just, it's all animated Spider-Man and then there's just actual Donald Glover in the flesh in a cage. Donald Glover's been in so many God-given Spider-Man movies. It's crazy. But it's funny it's not even, he's just, yeah just him, just the guy. With real flesh, like it's very funny. All right, let's do another riddle here. Yes. What has a stem but no roots? A brain. Okay. Wow. Yes, a brain. Is it, would it be like a dame? Don't you call a dame's getaway stick stems? Look at the getaway sticks. Look at the stem. Yeah, if you wanna slap in the mouth. From Jenny Dench. Well, obviously yes I wanna slap in the mouth, that's why I wore this big hat, this trench coat. Step on my neck, Maggie. You guys, I went to a bachelorette party. Congratulations. That thanks for my sweet friend and very talented comedian, George L. Rod. And there was a moment where I was sitting at a bar with Elizabeth Andrews and Shelby Plummer, my friend. And they started giggling and I was like, what are you guys giggling about? And they were like, there is a man with the craziest hat in our eyesight. Like, Aaron, you have to look. And I have my back to this man and I look behind me to my left and I immediately see the craziest biggest hat I've ever seen on a man. And then I came back to center and I looked over my right and they were dying and they were like, did you think you were gonna see a crazier hat on the other side? Like I had hope in my heart that maybe it wasn't him. That wasn't that guy. It was a, that just happens to be a different crazy hat. Was he with anyone, Aaron? He was talking to a woman, at a woman. So I need you to describe this hat. Is this like a Pharrell overfoot situation? You know what, like you just know that guy like was an Austin or something shopping for hats. And he was like, do you think I can pull off a hat? And the person at the haberdasher, he was like, you look awesome in this. And he was like going for a whole new vibe. It felt like early 2000s indie singer. Yeah, like Jason Moraz. Where was this, Aaron? Where was this? This was in San Francisco. San Francisco. I was gonna say. I was there again. Huge hat, so disproportionate to be wearing it inside. This tiny like white man with this huge hat. Are you familiar with, and I can't remember if the name of the book is like the game, but it's about the pickup artist mystery. Are you familiar with the pickup artist mystery? No. So this is where Negan comes from, right? Negan and peacocking. What's peacocking? Well, peacocking is this? 6.99 a month? No, peacocking. That's more explicit than that. Is when you wear a big, bold hat, like a crazy choice hat, so that people will have a reaction to the hat. And then you can like start a conversation because you're wearing a big, big hat. He read that book. I have never in my life encountered a person doing that because I feel like this was like in the early 2000s, that this was like a thing, but that's crazy. That's you, and dare I say, I don't know where the man mystery is still operating, but you may have run into mystery in the wild. Now that you're saying this, I had this exact thing happen. That was 100% what it was. The fact that I was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, I was like expecting a crazy like chef's hat behind my right shoulder or something. I don't know. Casey posted a picture of mystery in the chat. That's, yeah, this is, it's not even just the hat, it's like his whole wardrobe, the jacket, the eyeliner, the fingernails, the rings, like it's the peacocking, yeah. To describe this picture of mystery that Casey sent, it's as if Jamir Aqai was dipped in limp biscuit. Does that make sense? That's poetry. It's hard to dip something in limp biscuit, but it works, it works. Yeah, if any of, there's a podcast I really enjoy called If Books Could Kill, or if books can kill, if books could kill, but they review like airport best help, or best sellers, like airport best sellers, a lot of them are self-help, but they reviewed that, there's an episode that they did where they reviewed what if that book is called, I think it's The Pickup Artist or something like that, it's by the one that mystery's in, and it's about a guy who like embedded himself in this like pickup culture, and like it's fascinating, absolutely fascinating. It's a terrible, terrible thing, but absolutely fascinating nonetheless. What a weird time that early 2000s were. And it seems like some people, they're still doing it. The fact that he was talking out a woman like seals the deal for me, like that says everything that I need to know about that. Do you think 90s musician seal ever used that pickup line? Let's seal the deal, are they kind of winks? I would if I were him, if I'm being honest. I don't know what you're gonna say. I don't even know that he would need the wink, honestly. I think if he says that seals the deal. He's famous. He's a man, great voice. What has a stem, but no roof? Oh my God, we were in the middle of a riddle. Is it like a rose, roses have stems, Aaron was great with the brains have stems. The seal talking right now. Okay, not a rose. Stem. What has a stem, but no. Doesn't stem stand for like science, technology, engineering and math or something like that? It does. Okay, so is it that? Not in this room. Fuck. So is it that? You guys are on the right track with like brain and rose. A stem. A vase has a stem or wine glass? That's, oh, it's a wine glass. Oh my goodness. I would like to see a scene. Okay. JPC, you and I will be a couple at a fancy like Napa Valley wine tasting. And we don't, we have umbridge with the glasses. So we're gonna complain to Adel about the type of glasses our wine has been served in. Oh, excuse me. Before you pour, because I can see your heart reaching for the bottle for the next pour. I believe that my partner and I maybe received the, this is awkward to say, though, the incorrect wine glasses for the tasting event. Oh no, we've hand selected these glasses to accentuate and bring out the fruits and flavors of our wines. This is a good cup bag cup situation. You don't want me to start complaining. These look like Olive Garden glasses. Did you say good cup, bad cup? Did I? And these are, and my wife is correct. These are more in the bad cup, right? And when she says Olive Garden glasses, these are plastic Olive Garden kids cups with it looks like kind of projections of maps of Italy on them and like breadsticks and they're plastic. But we see other people have, you know, elegant stemmed wine glass. I see what you're accusing me of, which is going to a Salvation Army last night to scramble for the opening of this vineyard. But I assure you, these were handcrafted by a master, I wanna say Bloman. You wanna say? Who tasted our wines for months and months and decided that this vessel is the perfect, well, vessel for our wine. Now, sip it from the sippy cups, look at the map of Italy and know that these grapes came nowhere from here, but actually from right here in Sonoma. Well, we're not in Sonoma. This is more, I'd say, East Oakland, but Sonoma is a whisper away. You barely fumbled the ball the last minute here. You should have thought ahead. This is the most important part of the presentation. Honey, am I wrong? Break all of the wine glasses last night. Were you having like a, Who said I broke all the wine glasses? Who said I got drunk and fell backwards into a large shelf that I stupidly put all the glasses on? Who said that? Noticing that his entire back is bleeding. Look, we wanna help you out, but we paid $85 for this tasting and just give us our money back. We'll go on our way. We'll leave a three star review. That's fair. Three stars is fair. Deal, deal, deal. We'll take the cups. We'll take the cups. Because they're awesome. But you have to yelp. It was nice. You have to yelp that. Can we put nice in quotation marks? Deal. This guy's terrible at deals. What are the worst at deals? What are the worst at deals? Well, here's the deal because we need to take a break. So let's all swirl our glasses and let these brittles breathe. I broke mine. I swirled that and I broke. Mine broke. All right. Give me the glasses. We'll be right back. One, two, three, four, eight, brick to brick. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Ahem. Guys, anything you want to talk to me about? Maybe how it's International Women's Day this month? Oh, yeah, it's International Women's Day this month. Yeah, I was going to mention to you, Aaron, since it's International Women's Day this month. Step your game up. So to all the Angelo's and Rita's, Monaco's and... Mosquitos? It's Mosquita. I think the other... Mosquita. Women's name in that song is Mosquita. You know, guys, between caring for others and managing unseen responsibilities, women's wellbeing can be a little bit overlooked. There's a lot to juggle. We're doing some invisible labor over here. Monaco, Mosquita, all of us. And I just, I think that therapy is a great way for us to talk about that. Not to agree with a woman, but Aaron, I agree.

Seems everything seems even, check the doors. Adel, Erin. Hmm? I have using my skills as a woodworker, have crafted a well-built wardrobe. A magical one where you can go into a magical world? No, I tried it, it's just wood, but it's well-built. GPC, when we said every adult should have sort of a well-built wardrobe, we didn't mean like the actual frame, like an actual wooden wardrobe. We went like in a quince way, like having a lot of adult, well-made. Like quality clothing that last. Quality pieces that work together, they hold up over time. You know, that's what quince does best. We told you that. Organic cotton sweaters, polos for every occasion, lighter jackets that keep you warm in the changing season. I have a raincoat from them that I love. GPC, I held you down sort of clockwork orange style and held open your eyes. Well, I showed you that quince's premium materials, thoughtful design and everyday staples feel easy to wear and they're easy to rely on, even as the weather shifts in Chicago. This is making sense now, because I was like, you were talking about how quince works directly with top factories and cuts out the middleman so you're not paying for brand markup, just quality clothing. That's what you said. And that's what you were doing with my eyes. And can I be honest with you, I did not build that well of a wardrobe. I mean, this thing is pretty loose. No, hey. No, it's pretty loose. Wait, what? No, it's on. You did not get over with the feather. Ooh, a nail just went right through my thumb. That's the best case scenario. They only partner with factories that meet rigorous standards for craftsmanship and ethical production. I love their home stuff. I love their clothes. I can always count on them for the best quality.

Aaron, you're glowing. Oh, thanks. I just got a good night's sleep. JPC, how do I look? Eeeeee. Yeah, good. Hey, riddle, riddle. Yeah. Aaron, JPC, pretty big news. I just got cast as the director of a new Spider-Man. Yes, they're casting directors now. Oh, an all nude Spider-Man? Yes, it's an all nude Spider-Man. Just gonna take some risks and... That's all we can ask. Of course, I have to bring back some of the old faves. We're talking electro. We're talking doc, doc, doc, doc, doc, doc. Doc, doc. Green lantern? Doc, hold on. Green lantern? Of course. Nude, let's see, doc, cock, to puss, that's easy. Doc, cock, to puss. Elect, elect, cock, electro, easy. Yep, yep. I meant green goblin, I think. You know what this game invites? Like, doing a nude version of Spider-Man villains. It reminds me of like doing like one of Sandy's like sandbox games. You could have let Adel cook. He was gonna get there. Get where? What do you mean? What do you mean? Oh, Sandman? Sandman will never be in my Spider-Man. Oh, of course not. But Sandy can be on Hey Riddler Riddler, okay. Thomas Hayden Cock. If there was a nude Batman, you could have the Scarecrow. It would just be a pile of straw. Oh, love that. Oh. Someone get DC on the phone, quick, quick, quick. Call, call, call. You call, use the bat phone. A bat signal on the side. I don't think I wanna see Superman nude though. Yeah, you wouldn't do the Joker, you would do Joe Cocker. Wait, that's another guy. What are you doing? Pussy woman? We're working on it. We're working on it. We're not working hard on it, but we're working on it. Where'd she work? Well, you have Doc Ock and Catwoman together, you get Octopussy. The penis twin. Again, we have all of our best guys on it. I'm so sorry, I'm thinking of penis twin station. Sandy, thank you so much for coming on. It's almost as great as a treat. And were you gonna go down a road to the Sandman villain? Is that where you're going with that? No, I was just bringing up Spider-Man. Oh, does Spider-Man have a Sand villain? Oh, I don't know. I've heard rumors. I've only been called Sandman a few times in my life. What's that? We're like a pick up basketball team. Like that's like, who called you Sandman? Oh, lots of people over the years. Because Spider-Man and his villains occupy such a dominant place in our pop culture, especially Thomas Hayden-Hurch as Sandman. He's referenced at the Oscars every year, right? He's in a meme culture, isn't there? Every year, every year. Yeah, the lifeblood of the zeitgeist for sure. Thomas Hayden-Hurch is in the new Knives Out movie. He plays a character in the Wake Up Dead Man. And his name in the movie is very, has a lot to say about religion and the church. It takes place in a church. And his name is Thomas Hayden-Hurch. And I exactly, my letter box review is like, Thomas Hayden-Hurch, more like Thomas Hayden-Hurch. So many likes, like two at least. Follow me on letter box now, before I forget. Everyone go do that. It is wild that the two leads of Sideways are canonically Spider-Man villains. That's right. Oh. Oh, jeez, Marty was the Rhino. Yeah. The Rhino? They're watching Sideways. I would not be like, these two, God, I get in these. These are schlubs. Super suits. And what are the Andrew, well, first of all, Thomas Hayden-Hurch is not a schlub. Thomas Hayden-Hurch is not a schlub. He's kind of schlubby in that movie though. In Sideways? In Sideways, isn't he? No, no, in Sideways, he's like, he's like, handsome and stupid. He's not really schlubby. He's like, right, handsome and stupid. Dopey? Yeah, dopey. Yeah. He's more dopey. Okay, that's a new one. I think he's more Doc. Stan, the other five, George. Yeah, there we go. Doc, Doc, schlubby. This is, this is turning into a Thomas Hayden-Hurch Stan podcast. Which we do. Don't mind if I do. Take me to Thomas Hayden-Hurch. Yeah. The best season. Just a couple extra syllables, Addle. Just a couple, not saying he's noticed. Oh, you think Weird Owl gets it in one? Sandy, besides this fun Spider-Man game that you've brought for us, what else have you brought for us in your sandbox segment too? Oh yeah, I have some stuff for you. This is a reprise of something I did a few months ago, which I called Hey, Rattle, Rattle, based on the hit online daily word game called Rattle that I make. I have a series of, I'm gonna give you a word and a clue. And in this game, you're gonna change one word into a new word. And the way that works is I'm gonna give you a starting word and then I'm gonna give you a clue for a word that you have to replace one letter in the original word with this new word to get an entirely longer new word. So for example, I didn't explain that very well, so I'm just gonna give you an example. This is an example from the last. This is a big word. Yeah, insert a small word into another word to get a bigger word, all of which will be clued. So last time I said, here's an example from the last time, I said, take the word row, replace one letter with a state to get a part of a salad. And in that case, you eventually figured out you had to get rid of the W in row, replace it with the state main, and you get row main, which is a part of a salad. Got it. Got it. We should also say rattle, r-a-d-d-l-e dot com. No part of my, don't go there. Dot quest. So sorry, dot quest. Dot quest. Yeah, I didn't have enough money to afford the dot com. This is this. You can go to, I'll tell you what, you can go to rattlerattle.com. I did register that and that forward to the right place. Okay. Sounds fun, rattle, rattle. Sounds like you're that, the hamburger? Did you guys have that? Commercial that was rattle, rattle, thunder, clatter, boom, boom, boom. What is that for? Rattle, thunder, clatter, boom, boom, boom. Don't worry, cause the car expressed. Yes. Car X, man, might be a local commercial. And you can also, if you go to my website, amazon.quest, I am trying my best to get you guys the stuff that you're ordering, but I just don't know where a lot of it is, and it is tougher than it looks. Yeah, you didn't have any of it. And I don't have a lot of it. I got some of it. Bezos makes it look easy, but I tell you, it is not. They did not nab that quest domain. You got that. Good job. All right, so that- Hold on, while we're talking about rattle, are you open to a little rattle feedback? Sure, let's do a feature request on the air. Let's see how I respond to it. I just think there should be a place on the website somewhere where if you do the rattle and you get to net-a-ten and you've got it correct and you didn't use any hints, you should be able to message the creator and within a couple of days, he should be able to say, yeah, I'm very proud of you, Jay Busy, you did a very good job on this rattle. I do, because it sounds very simple. But I don't want to use the email because I'm like that, and I actually have your phone numbers. Well, I don't want to use these like casual methods. I want like a more official channel for you to say- What about a formal letter every time you've completed it? Here's the trick, here's the secret. It's the secret, every person who writes me, I write them back. Even about complaints. They give me a little spleen about it, something they didn't like because it's too American. I get feedback that it is too American, which is true, but there's only so much I can do about it. The Charles Schultz of our time. Yeah, this is why Noam Chomsky was all over the Epstein emails. Shit. If you write me in your name's Epstein, you're not getting a response. If you have a letter, letter vacation email address, you're not getting a response from Sandy, full B once. Sandy, what if we took up correspondence where I argued with you about your letter box reviews? Oh, and then we published that on a blog? Yeah, so just years of angry letters of me being like, what do you mean you didn't like the day after tomorrow? My takes on letter box are so mild. If he doesn't have a pun, he doesn't even do it. That's right, no, you're right. I spent half of the movie thinking about how what pun I can insert into my letter box review. And then I have to like turn to my wife and be like, sorry, what happened? I was busy in my head thinking of bad jokes. Paul, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Fuck it, forget it. Fuck it, zero stars. Fuck it, hold ever sucks. Ongbok, more like too long block. Guys, watch Tony Jaws Ongbok. Our arm, we're like ZZZ, a long movie. Fuck, that's so good. I got to go back. Gotta watch that home movie again just so I can write that review. Sandy, next time you got to bring in a game that's it's letter box reviews. And we have to guess what movie you're, what movie you're reviewing. Oh, fun. And also Sandy, I'll also say for next time, get to the game faster, okay? Cause we're in the conversation. Oh no. I would kill us if I were Sandy. I would just kill us and feel nothing. Have you even explained how Rattle works? Jesus Christ, man. It's so brutal. I'm sorry, Sandy, please, please. What if the game was, I bring you a premise, but I don't actually write any clues. See if I can get through the whole episode without getting to the puzzle. Sandy, you would, I'm not kidding. You would win that game without even trying. Like it's, you would, you have to actively try to lose that game. That's the only way you lose. Sandy, I'm loving your taste. I'm on letter box. That's the last thing you'll say. And I'm loving your taste. I agree with a lot of what you're doing. Thank you. I had some hot ratings this year. We went a little against the grain on some beloved hit films, but we won't get into that. We'll save it for the game. Yeah, save it for the game. All right, so do you remember how this puzzle worked? Kind of. All right, I'm going to, let's just start and see how it goes. Kind of. You're going to start with the remaining example. Yeah. Yeah, the remaining example. Just keep remaining in your head. All right, we're going to start with the word armor. You're going to replace a letter with a drink to get a place to sit. Armour. I would not sit on an armour. Well, then you're not an help on a shelf. Don't bring your personal hangups into this. Give out all the point for our war and move the fuck on. Can you bring it again? You start with the word armor, replace a letter with a drink, which is four letters. Chai, our armchair. It is armchair. Nice from JPC. Chai, I wasn't thinking about Chai as a drink. What were you thinking of, Vides? A life force? You know, I just watched Into the Spider first. No, Beyond Return of the Spider was the second one. I watched that second one and there's a section in it where he's like, I hate people who say chai tea because chai means tea. Sure. So chai is tea, but I always, I still do think of chai as like a thing that you add to tea, which is wrong. It's tea. Correct. Yeah, well, it's a thing you add to milk. Thank you. Yes. Yeah. All right, start with the word jury, replace a letter with a unit of currency and you get a span of time. A cent. A cent. A century. Century. Wow. Good job. Wow. Start with the word pity, change a letter to a transportation company and you get a stage of life. Okay, now, Erin, this is all on you. Puberty. Puberty. What? Because I'm going through puberty currently. It hurts. I'm going through puberty. Just yelling it hurts. Puberty hurts so fucking much. It's hurt so bad. I still do remember speaking of puberty, the pain when you're like bones are growing, like when you're getting taller, that is, that sucks. Like I'm so glad as an adult, I'm the height that I'm going to be and I don't have to deal with like the pain of my bones growing. They made a whole TV show about that. Growing pains. In bones. In bones. In bones. In family size. Sandy, I was reading through some of your reviews. Jesus. And I, well, I'm going to tell you that your review of Hamnet made tears rush to my eyes. Oh. You guys, I'm telling you, we're going to follow him in my letterbox and laugh. You can cry at these reviews. Erin, did you have, have you stumbled across any other pun ones like Thomas Hayton Church? I'm looking. I'm looking. Okay. I would love, I would love to be featured on the show. And in some way. Why do I mention this? These are for me and my three followers. We could cut it out. We could cut it out. Oh, hey, Sandy. There's no such thing as bad press. Okay. People are going to love your letterbox. That's right. Okay. Next one. The word vice. Not my last name. The word vice. Change one letter to a God and you'll get a painkiller. Vice. Okay. Some people might say the painkiller is God to a God. It's not. It is Vicodin. Change the e to an Odin. Yeah. I'm surprised I got one. Especially because you're focused on another activity. Yeah. I'm reading your review of Barbie, which is funny. I'm having a great time. It would be funny if Erin's reading the review of like Thor, like Thor Thunder. Yeah. She's reading out random words. Odin. Yeah. I don't remember writing about Vicodin, but maybe I did. Who knows? All right. Change. There's a bigger, bigger one. Change the word Judean to a mid, a letter in Judean to get, to a Midwestern city to get a 20th century actor. Oh, Judea Cincinnati. Judea law. Judea law. I love that. Excuse me. So are you Judea law? Judea. Oh, Erin, that seems like it could be correct. It's not Judea Dench. I may have heard someone say the right answer, but the word. Judy Greer. No. No, it's Judean. Change one letter to a Midwestern city to get a 20th century actor. It's not a super big Midwestern city, but it shows up in Crossroads a lot. It's got some common letters. There's the university there. Judea Cincinnati. Judea's four letters. Judea Valparaiso. The city is four letters. So these four letters. Okay. What's the vibe of the city? Can we get the state? It's Midwest. Midwest. Iowa. Iowa. Okay. He's easier to go with the 20th century actor. He's very popular. He was very popular. He was very popular. I mean, he died. So 20th century, did he die in the 20th century? Yeah. Okay. So he died some. He died, I don't know when, but mid-century. Okay. He was very, very popular as long as he was around. James Dean. James Dean. What's the city? Ames. Ames, Iowa. Ames, Iowa. Ames, Iowa. James, Iowa. Oh, man, that's tough. Yeah. That was really good. Thank you. Here's a fun fact I've heard about Ames. I have not confirmed this. The high school in Ames has a sign that says, Ames high, Ames high. Oh, I love it. I love it too. The rules. I like when people are having fun where and when they can, like on letterbox. Can a high school get bullied? Sure. Can like a whole high school be bullied? Yeah. I think Iowa City High School comes into town and bullies them. Yeah. How about change a letter in the word peace as in P E A C E to a grain to get a piece of outerwear? Peacote. Parker. You got it, Aaron. Peacote. Nice. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. The word. The letterbox has made Aaron strong. Yeah. Woo. The word typist change one letter to a goddess to get a health professional. Therapist. Yeah. And what's the goddess? Hera. Hera is correct. Odin's wife. I'm a bit of a herit. Well, she was Zeus's wife. Zeus's wife. I just. But I. Keep your stated dinner party. Sloshing by wine all over the fucking place. Tornadoing it out of the class. Who was Hera's waif. That was. Hera's waif was played by. Was it. Hey waif. No. Hey waif. Let's not. Sorry. Sorry. Odin's waif. Now I'm talking. I gotta go to dinner. I kill. No. No. No. She wants to Sarah Lawrence. Very nice lady. Yes. Yes. Here's a fun fact about Odin's wife. Her name was Frigga. That is where we get the name Friday. Odin is Wednesday. Thor's Thursday. Frigga is Friday. Is that why we say it's the friggin weekend? Also, she founded TGIF. It was defunct for a thousand. I went to TGIF on a Monday around Christmas. And I got to tell you, it was the highlight of my holidays. I stayed until 2 a.m. I felt I was in Washington, DC at a TGIF Friday. And I was having the time of my life. I can't recommend enough. That's by the way, Aaron's just reading out one of my Letterbox reviews right now. Yeah, from Marty Supreme. That's me talking. That was my review of Marty Supreme. How about the word band? Change one letter to a symbol to get an insulting term. To a symbol to get an insulting term. Band. Insulting symbol. When you say symbol, let's see. SYMBOL. OK, SY. So it's not. You could say shape. So an insulting symbol would be like the middle finger. No, no, the symbol is not insulting on its own. Like a pound. Sign. The replaced the fuller word is an insulting term. An insulting term. Symbol has changed one letter to a four letter symbol. And your result is an insulting. Is it a symbol that's on a keyboard icon? Yeah, it's say you might call this star. No, that's yes. Yes. Yes. Star is symbol star. Star is the symbol replaced one letter with star. I forget the original word. I forget the original word. Band, band. Star and. It's four shots. There's only four letters. Yeah. You'll get there. No. B-A-S. Band star. Band star. Take the N out. JPC and you have it. Not with band star, the one you said before that. B-A-S. Bastard. Bastard. Wow. Wow, that hurt. That one hurt to do. Yeah, it hurt. Oh, yeah. I never would have taken the N out. That's never, never would have taken the N out. That N belongs there. I have to be honest with you. It is very intimidating to see you before 3 p.m. My brain is not on and I'm like, oh, he's going to ask me real riddles. Oh, oh, oh. It's very early for you. It's earlier than it is. It's like Ken Jennings making you breakfast and you're like, oh, no, oh, no. Yeah. He's going to ask you something. I hate when I come downstairs and Ken Jennings is making breakfast. I hate that feeling. He's like, this popular juice was like, oh, no, no. You're like, Ken Jennings, you stayed over? You have a wife. We're not going to be a thing, Ken Jennings. He's lonely. I think his family lives in Seattle. If he comes down to LA every few weeks of film, man, it's lonely time. Well, they should have all gone back to your wife. He could probably do a two weeks worth of jeopardy in one day, I think. I'm probably, yeah, probably. I didn't really win on jeopardy. And they said she said that they they did. At least I think they do the whole week in one day. They may do two weeks in one day, but it's crazy because like they'll finish an episode and you have like a minute, I don't know, maybe a few minutes. So like if you are the champion to like rest and then come back and do the next episode. Oof. That's crazy. Because of how like a contest on jeopardy, you have to be it has to be. You have to be like so anxious and nervous and, you know, have all this energy to be on jeopardy, but everybody else who's like just has to do 30 jeopardies that day. It's just like, OK, one more jeopardy. Like, I guess I gotta, you know, hold the mic or make sure the camera angle hits. It's like just a technical job where it's so anxiety inducing for the people that are on it. Super anxiety inducing. That's why I'll never apply to go on. I think you would do great. It might also be fun. I think I would I think I would fall apart and then I would be very embarrassed. I could go on jeopardy with no anxiety and have the time of my life getting every answer wrong and being like and calling Ken Jennings the wrong name. I've called Kevin, I've called Kyle. What I call him, Alex. When Ken was doing his run of like as a contestant, he had to, you know, they do the interview that he had to tell a story every time. Seventy five times he had to tell a story. And so he just started making stories up like I don't have an example, but I remember him talking about this later. Like he said, I just had to come up with stories like how I love an exile and say when we're at lunch every day. I do think that's very funny to say he had to tell 75 stories. He started to just make him up. I don't have an exam. I know. No, it's truly perfect. Such a perfect joke. Sandy, what you need to do is either become a celebrity and go on celebrity jeopardy, so it's a little bit. That would be great. Yeah, actually, that would be perfect. Go to college jeopardy because that's also a little bit easier. I don't know if that plan would work. Hello, fellow students. Yeah, you can figure it out. At the there's a Midwestern crossword tournament that I've been a part of for the last couple of years. It's in October. And I put on a game. Sure, I put on I've helped run it and in the way that I've like I put on a game on stage for everyone to play between rounds. But this year, my friend asked me to compete with him in the Paris tourney, which is you do a crossword together. You both have a pencil. You both fill it out together. And I have never been that fast of a crossword solver. So that's why I've never entered. But on a lark, I was like, sure. And that's sort of the equivalent of of doing the celebrity jeopardy, because it's like you get the competition is way, way, way less. You have like a fraction of the number of people solving. So it's much easier to kind of like get two really fast solvers together and get into the leaderboard. So we ended up getting third place. Nice. Yeah, which is why, which means we had to get up on stage and compete in front of number one, which would fill the crossword out. Um, on stage, which is nerve wracking, especially when you make a massive mistake like I did. Okay, that was dark. No, no, I guess they have it. Do they have a toilet on stage? Because how else are you supposed to do the crossword? That's pretty good. I get the joke. I don't actually ever do the crossword on the on the toilet. I always do it. It's not about what you do. It's about getting the joke. So thank you for the first part. And no, thank you for all the rest. I was about to go into all the things I do do on the toilet. But okay, we'll skip it. That's fine. Do do. Do do all the toilet. Do do all the toilet. He's back. Do do all the toilet. He said it. All right. That's all the time we have for today. Sandy said, do do all the toilet. We got him. Sandy, do you have any? We got him. Do you have anything that you would like to, uh, for our listeners to? Oh, I didn't even get to my, my capper. Let me do one more. Do one more. Do one more. All right. All right. Take the word sofa, replace it with an African country and you'll get another African country. So if Africa. It's like, it's got to be so, so, so South Africa, South Africa. There is a country in Africa that is within another country in Africa. And that's what's going on here. But you can figure it out because one of the countries is the letters in sofa. Minus a letter. What's my name is Chad sofa. Chad sofa sounds like a favorite of rental character for sure. Um, uh, Senegal. So far. So far. Take the F out. Uh, okay. S O blank a. And what's the word we're adding in another African country to get another African Somalia. Yeah. And what's the country? Molly. Molly. Wow. Of course. Speaking of Molly, I'm going to go take some. Perfect. On the toilet. So smart. Um, Sandy, I almost called you Santhony, uh, which is Sandy is short for Santhony, right? It is now. Yeah. Uh, Santhony wise, where can people find you? What do you got going on? Uh, they find me on letterbox. Uh, and everything stems from there. Yep. Um, you, you know what I am, you can find me on letterbox. I'm not going to tell you my username, but it's easy to find. Uh, but no, you can play my rattle game at rattle.quest or rattle rattle.com, whichever is easier for you to remember. Um, I'm also, I also run a company called, I mean, my day job is running this company I own called the mystery league out of Chicago where I put on team building games. I've actually had several requests lately of people who've heard me on, uh, this dang podcast and has led to business, which is cool. It's including a really, really cool project that I can't. Oh, incredible. It was really good. God, I'm so glad you get something out of this. Cause Jesus, we're relentless. So if you're like, I've, I've heard this guy on this podcast, but I don't know if I can take this podcast seriously enough to treat it as a recommendation. You absolutely can. Other people have done it. Yeah. So mystery league.com. Okay. That's great news. Sandy. Now let's bite you with this radioactive spider and just kind of see what happens. Bye bye. He dead. Oh, he's dead. He's dead. Thanks. Let's push him into the ocean. Where's Chicago? Ocean's about, uh, man, anytime Sandy's here, I feel like I have to take a shower because I just feel like I have, you get little bits of, you know, riddles. And all the, and all the nooks and crannies. And I'm not covered in pineapple juice. I don't know what that is. Pineapple juice, probably. You have ants all over you. Um, Aaron, covered in hot dogs or. Yeah, but this is sort of my natural state covered in hot dogs. You can play at JPC. Hot dogs. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Feels better with permission. I'll tell you that much feels much better with permission. Well, speaking of things that we can play on the show, why don't we play a voicemail theme? Hell yeah. That I would listen to an album of that, whatever that is, that sort of like new order-esque music, I would listen to an album of that. That, um, well, uh, you could pick up a Chapel Road album, uh, because that was a cover of Good Luck Babe, um, by Davey Paul. Um, or Davey Paul, I guess you could just do a whole cover album. You know, yeah. 30 second covers of Chapel Road songs and the style of whatever that was to the tune of Hey, Riddle, Riddle. That absolutely ruled. Um, well, let's play a voicemail casing. Hey, Clucru. My name's Katie, longtime listener, first time callers. I'm a law student, so I'm studying for finals right now. And in the margins of one of my notebooks I've written, free enforcement, judicial review can still get you pregnant, which none of my friends found as funny as I did. That's funny. To prepare for my future legal career, I was curious if there's any law you guys would like me to get rid of in the future. Love the show. Thanks. Bye. Whoa, Katie, thank you so much for the voicemail. Time do you have. And, uh, either best of luck or great job, depending on when you sent that in. That's very exciting. Um, and also very funny that you wrote that in the margins. A law we want to get rid of. Is that what, is that what they said? Right. Isn't that, that was. Yeah. Three. Three laws. Three laws. So we each do one maybe? Okay. Yeah, we could each. I would say I, you know what? I'll say it. Oh, I've had it with Murphy's law. I've had it. Anything that possibly could go wrong will go wrong. I'm done. I'm done with Murphy's law. Um, I'm done with the law of gravity. Yeah. It's weighing me down. I don't feel great. If I don't get to get rid of Murphy's law, I feel like I'm not stepping totally out of line here. Sure. No, you're not. I would have get rid of the TV show. The TV show. Murphy's law with Candace Bergen. What? Why? Um, it's not. Okay. I'll, if this, if you guys deem that this is not one that I can do, I will pick a different one. Um, but I think I would get rid of the 22nd amendment. I just don't think we need to be limiting how many terms a president can serve. Uh, at this age in our, you know, history, uh, I think if, and it doesn't matter who, but if a president wanted to do a third term or kind of a fourth term, um, that to me, I think would be fine. Um, but it's not a law. 2028, please know that JPC was joking. JPC side effects. We'd all support. Uh, anything, anyone have anything to plug anything that we're plugging now? Uh, days. I got nothing. I got a big thing to plug. Oh, uh, PBL love. The, the, the PBL PBL. Isn't that a song? BBL lover or something. Hey. Oh, yes, it is. Okay. Got it. I hope, but it's unfortunately a Drake song. Uh, it's a Drake song. Yeah. It's a Drake song. I don't know the song, but I know that it is a song. Yeah. Same, same, same, same. And I forgot who's saying it. Uh, Penguin baseball league is coming up as part of our April of the penguins. And this year. Things are going to be a little bit crazy because we have something fun going on. I'm not going to spill the whole beans. Look, you, you'll have to check it out on the page here on patreon.com. Hey, riddle, riddle. If you want to see what's going on with PBL this month, um, and I will say. If you, if you were ready to get the whole league turned upside down on its head, we probably do that. Yeah, we probably do that this year. So check it out. I would say this is going to be our most fun season yet. So check out PBL. Jepes, do you have a review to read? I do have a review to read. This review comes to us from angry pig. So angry with, with no A, um, and it's five stars. It's titled torture. We trapped these podcasts hosts in a financial dependent prison where they have to answer riddles to get or get an office job. They're really making the most of it and taking advantage of the space. If you get the Patreon, the level of torture ups with forced feedings and more control over their days and removal of their freedom. Are they okay? Are we okay? This is fine. Five stars. Yeah, that is fine. Five stars. I didn't ever think about it, but we are like. Geese who get fattened up for foie gras. Like we are for thread riddles until we explode. Except instead of goose meat, we are hot dogs. No reaction from Aaron whatsoever. Aaron, you're muted. You're muted, Aaron. Well, Jupiter. Hey, there. And.
