J-A-N-E-T-V-A-R-N-E-Y.
Plansha!
We made you wait too long.
You made me last.
You've been all of this.
I was in Norway and all of a sudden I felt like an atomic shift and then all of a sudden
I was sitting in front of my computer recording with you, so well done.
Wow.
Were you in the middle of something?
I'm just asking because of your specific wardrobe.
Oh, was I out saving trash animals? Wow.
Wow, we call them Norwegians.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
Apologists, all of our Norwegians are serious.
I wasn't out saving trash animals.
I was, and this needs to stay between us.
Okay, of course.
But Norway has the best planchets.
So I usually head over there, grab a best planchets. Oh, yeah.
So I usually head over there, grab a few planchets.
Yeah.
I try not to eat them all on the plane.
And I forget, planchets are like weird bananas.
No planchets bred with diced tomatoes.
Bread with zucchinis.
Yeah.
It's because of the geosurf.
They say courgett for zucchini.
Yeah.
So I'll say it.
It's a planchet. Where the heck have you been?
We missed you.
You left us here all by ourselves.
What the f***?
We've been bored.
Listen, I've already given out a hard time about the fact that
after I sung the praises of
Hay Relationship Relationship,
you flaunted a new episode
without me in it.
We had recorded a report. I tried to in it. We had record it before.
I tried to tell her.
I tried to tell her.
Believe you, Aaron.
She broke all my toes.
She broke all my toes.
I broke all of his toes.
Yeah, that is going to come after me in a way.
What did you think was going to happen with that?
I don't know.
I thought it was a boo, we were doing a bit.
It was fun.
And I don't know if you wanna do this while you're on the show, but if you could at some
point in this episode, mention how you'd really love to be involved in one of our hunts,
Christian Anderson, Patreon episodes.
We've also already recorded one of those.
So by all means, it is a dream.
It is a dream. I is a dream. It is a dream.
I swear it right now, the next
table relationship, I'm announcing
it now will have a fourth
relationship expert host that
will be there. The next one
that comes around is like going to be.
You don't know yet.
A huge round of auditions, but you are
number one choice.
Janet, can we get a clean audio take
that we can put in front of every single
Patreon episode right now that's just you saying,
wish I was in this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wish I was in this.
Perfect.
Casey, C.O.P.
Casey, C.O.P.
See what I did, I put a different emphasis.
I put emphasis on it, different word.
It was, I read it, I did a little bit of a different read. I've never given actor, never given actor a line reading.
I've learned my lesson.
I've never given actor, never given actor.
Can I ask a quick question?
This is old business.
So is this a good time in the meeting of this episode?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
I did not ask for the cool aid man.
He seems to have shown up anyway.
You're so potential business.
I know.
This is the old business.
This is the old business.
Cool Aid man, so you're Kaiju?
Yeah.
I wanted to feel like I was, I don't think I've done improv.
Well, I did one, I did an episode of the other podcast, which will not be named, otherwise
it was Hello from Magic Tavern.
Beyond that, I feel like I'm very improv rusty, so I was like, I'll listen to one of the other podcast, which will not be named, otherwise it was, Hello from Magic Tavern. Beyond that, I feel like I'm very improv rusty.
So I was like, I'll listen to one of the latest
Hey Rettles Riddles, it'll get me in the mood,
get me in the zone.
So I listened to the Paul Rettles episode.
I'll think God.
One of our best improv episodes.
Which was great.
There was a story that you told early in the show, Adol, in which you revealed that you were eating something that I
assumed other people would have questions about. But you all
flew right past it as if it was no big deal. And so I need to ask
just in case there were other listeners who kind of did like a
bra, like a chicken, like a shocked chicken, when I heard it.
And then no one said anything.
Is that how pizza normal?
So, Probeza?
No, and so that's why.
No one asked about So, Probeza?
Here's my thing, it's like,
you know how JPC has like a problem with authority?
Mm-hmm, like that's pretty clear.
And like that's defining of his personality.
Sure.
Part of my personality is defined by like,
I have to chase novelty.
Like I have to.
Well, yeah, I guess I mean.
Anytime I, if there's 10 doors in front of me
and one is like made out of like clown skin,
I'm like, I gotta go that door.
Like whatever's the weirdest thing I have to go towards.
So anytime I go to a menu,
it's like a restaurant I look at a menu
or whatever it is,
I have to go with the weirdest fucking thing on there.
And so I saw the Krossell Crossell Pizza
and my brain said, what is this?
And my stomach said, please, no thank you.
But then Arnie was like, I'll eat that with you
because he's a very supportive tall man.
Great.
And we both were violently ill.
That's the sickest I've ever been in my life.
So.
This is supposed to have like the good probiotics.
Like, I feel like I eat a fair amount of soccer.
I would never put it on a pizza.
And then just to clarify.
So JPC and Aaron didn't ask about that
because that's just part of the lexicon
of like adult eating weird things.
And it's like, don't even ask.
Let me tell you something about adult.
I actually, I've stopped asking a single follow up question
about his eating habits after I found out he bites into a Kit Kat without breaking it, he just bites into it.
Yeah, just right into it.
That's not cool.
And so I go, you and food, none of my business.
I've also heard that story a bunch of times.
Uh, you've heard the story.
That also checks out.
The first time I heard that story, I was like, sourcrap pizza.
But the more I hear the story, the more I'm like, man, I guess I would have been
a dead stop on the Sourcrap pizza.
That's what really did me.
And what's wild is that there are listeners
from I think Des Moines, is that what you use?
Des Moines, yeah.
They who correctly guessed the name of the restaurant.
They were like, as soon as I heard it,
I knew it had to be this place.
And I was like, wow, good on you.
That speaks well of Des Moines
that there isn't more than one place
that bothers to make some.
So you would hope they would know exactly where that came from. Well, I think a lot of places make it of demoing that there isn't more than one place that bothers to make some.
You would hope they would know exactly where that came from.
Well I think a lot of places make it only one place makes it bad.
I will maybe blow everyone's minds and say two days later, Ernie and I split from a different
pizza place, a crab rangoon pizza.
Oh my god.
So we did not learn our lesson.
No, I mean, he pretty immediately didn't learn it.
Oh man, that's a nightmare.
I will say though, you make a really good point.
I do think that we need to beat
just in general dead stopping Adelmore.
We've been letting him get away with too much for too long.
Hi Adelmore.
You're really lazy.
Does the crab ring go to the crowd?
Is the crab ring pizza just crab ring
goons on top or is a crab ring in pizza?
Are there other accoutrements?
It was so it wasn't just crab ring goons
plop down on it because that would be
anyone could fucking do that.
Jamie Oliver does not make what they did
was it's like the.
I don't think the crust was like
Ren goon. It wasn't like fried, whatever like fried whatever that is not feel like whatever that is
but it was basically the elements were it was deconstructed on top of it so instead of
got it tomato sauce it was the sort of crab dip spread got it got it and then
strips and then strips of the the covering were kind of placed all over we
just that we look over at his word of the day
calendar that says a kuturman on it
and he's just nodding and smiling.
You did it, buddy.
Turn that page.
It's gonna stay plump shit.
You're meant to say Armandesante.
In my mind, you were like at a pizza place
and you're like, I like sausage
and someone's like, green peppers goes well with that.
I'm like, great, doesn't want to add anything and you're like, can we add some crab
bread goons on top of the air? I see it's a specialty topping so it adds 75 cents but I think it's worth it.
Also, this adds a layer to one of our favorite moments from the show which is meat calling a pizza
place and then you saying, baby, baby, crab bread goon. And the joke is that they don't have crab
crab bread goon but I guess you meant it. You wanted crabbrangoon on your pizza.
Wow. Just to come experience.
Janet, can you think of the weirdest thing you've ever eaten? You're from Arizona. Does
Arizona have anything like they're known for?
I mean, they have sonore like great sonore in Mexican food. So they that like, I don't,
I mean, there's ways that we could launch into that make that
particular type of Mexican food special, but I don't know.
Very diplomatic about this.
Right now.
To do it, does anyone eat like the havelinas or havelinas of delicacy?
You don't think you can eat the havelinas?
No.
No, the thing that popped into my mind when you said that was that, and this is like pulling
from like a, oh, well, if you ate at this place, of course.
But I did have the total pleasure of having dinner at Noma
in Copenhagen, which is like a famous place to eat.
The world's most famous.
And they had ants on a log, which was like,
I feel like it was like raw me.
Someone that will have been there and it was like,
you're getting this told they're wrong,
this memory is distorted Janet.
But what I do know is that the ants were actual ants
and they were definitely on,
and there were other components of it
that made it seem like something
that I would get dared to eat, that I would never eat.
But because I was at Noma and I was surrounded by people
saying like this is the most extraordinary restaurant
in the world, I ate it and it wasn't bad.
But it wasn't great.
Yeah.
Sisters of your parents or bugs, please clarify quickly.
Yeah.
Yeah, you said answer then you said aunts.
Wait, I said aunts.
No.
I do think it's funny when like really,
really expensive cuisine goes all the way around to the other end where you're like
I was it and it's like I paid $600 I gotta be honest I think I ate three courses of bark
Yeah, I don't know if they were being made specifically as a bit or yeah, I ate a wasp in a zip lock bag
I was gonna say I ate a wasp in a zipper which also seemed like it made sense that sounds I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I was like, can I have a drink of water? And you really clenched the back of my neck and said,
no, you have to dry swallow these pennies for a house cleanser.
Janet, it almost sounds like you were,
like, if you weren't as old as you are, which is an adult,
it almost sounds like you were being bullied on a playground
and you like disassociated for a moment,
where you're like, this is no ma, this is no ma, this is no ma.
You know what?
I'm glad that you said that, because I will say
the last time I've had an intimate encounter with the red ants that were on
those quote unquote was chip call well put ants down my pants and first grade and they
stung me but and all well the real estate agent chip call I. I'm sorry. Chip call well, the archaeologist.
He's now an archaeologist.
That little motherfucker prudence down my pants.
Oh, that guy.
Oh, wait, Janet, he was an archaeologist.
Yesterday, he was, and I'm reading this here, gunned down.
So, it seems like revenge is a dissonance.
Best served cold.
Good five ass.
I could have timed the story out better.
If I thought about it, I would have put a little space between me and the rest.
It says here he was killed by a collective of Uncle's wives.
So the aunts finally caught up to chill.
Yeah, the uncle's wives opened for the disembrace when you went to that show.
They certainly did.
Uncle's go down.
Your wives on a log. Man, anyway, I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down.
I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna go down. I'm gonna go down. up five guesses for how they taste. Yes, I would think they would be like spicy.
Well, red ants here.
Yeah, I mean, they look zingy,
but I would say they were more sour.
Hmm.
Wow.
I will, I'll have to eat one.
No, that's the whole point.
I will have to eat one.
No.
Ha.
Ha.
Adel, did you want to see us again?
I'm over it. Oh, thank God.
Once I found out that guy was gunned down, I think Justice has been served.
All we have to do to get out of the scenes is talk our way out of the...
Hey, look, if we're going to see some scenes, why don't we see another favorite feature on this podcast?
A riddle.
We don't like the scenes.
Let's just go into plugs.
We're going to go right to plugs.
No, we're going to do a riddle.
I think that this will be fun.
Now, we have previously on the show,
I've been working our way through some of these
farmers, Almanac riddles,
and we have a few more for you today.
As is my want, I will give you the year.
So this is a farmers Almanac riddle from 1946.
And as per anytime, Janet, our fourth host guests,
Janet, you will have five minutes before Aaron and I
will attempt an answer where you can try
and work it out yourself.
Yes.
Great.
I'd love to do the alpha.
Lozzy, there was a minute to lick my finger
and hold it into the air because I feel somehow
that that's what farmers in 1946 did.
Like there's some important information gathering going on.
That was their only solution to anything.
They're like, let's see.
Yeah.
My wife's mad at me.
Yes, the war's over.
Wind feels like the war's over.
Yeah.
Okay, 1946.
Now we've all been transported mentally, so we're ready.
We're in a nail desert all.
I got my wasp in a zippa.
Sorry, I'm just getting into character. Wellnale the turtle. I got my wasp in a zippa, sorry, I guess.
Getting into character.
Well, back too far, that's the 20s.
Oops.
I am not a flesh and blood.
Yet have I mini a bone?
No limbs except one leg and can't stand on that alone.
My friends are mini and dwell in all lands of the human race, but they poke my poor nose
into the mud and shame but they poke my poor nose into the mud
and shamefully spatter my face.
Trust me, I'm sorry, thrust me into each other's ribs,
stick me in gutter and rut.
Is this like, never?
Never smut to bat him.
I have never a window and never a door,
yet I buy myself and shut.
Yeah, I'm sorry, this is this is this is farmers playboy
Riddles it was so good
I have so basically I have no bones, but I do have one
No, I'm not a flesh and blood yet. I have many a bone
Many a bone
So typically that would be JPC during the ads
Who has a phone to pick with someone?
Yes, but then I said something about a foot, but it doesn't stand on its own and then something and then something about you
Splatter me with mud
Yeah, you show my it doesn't stand on its own. And then something about you splatter me with mud,
you show my nose.
I like it.
Is it something that's a life like a plant or an animal?
It was like a rake or a hoe.
It is not something that is alive.
It is not something that is alive here.
It's a great guess.
Yes, you.
And we shove its nose into the ground, right?
Is that what I heard?
I think you're training a puppy. I know a puppy no in all ends of the human race but I'm sorry I that's the
end of it another thought but they poke my poor nose into the mud and shamefully
spatter my face yeah and it has bones all I can think of is it yet I have
many a bone is, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
It's like a shovel, it's got like a shovel.
It's got like a shovel, y'all,
in front of his home, we're not know wrong.
Is it not like a shovel?
Is it some sort of farm equipment?
Is it not really a farm equipment, Aaron, no,
it's not really a shovel.
But is it a tool or some kind?
I would describe this as a tool.
I think if you,
I think survey that 100 people,
you know, top answer is gonna be tool.
A rake.
Maynard Keenan?
It's not a rake.
It's not Maynard Keenan's.
Oh, bones, that's a...
No, it's not a rake or a hoe.
You shudder guys.
You shudder guys.
This is not a farm implement.
And I would consider rake and hoe to be like farm implement.
Okay.
The next time you're at rake and hoe,
you have to try the matriotic.
I, here's what I'll say. That doesn't sound weird, but it's so loud. It's so loud. Okay, next time you're at Rick and Ho, you have to try the matriotic.
I So
I will say that I think my guess is that each one of you probably has one of these in our house in our hair
Sure
A power washer
I think I move okay, Janet by the way, I have your address, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably,
I think that's probably, I think that's probably, probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that's probably, I think that have four. What? And I know this for a fact one in my car. That has come in handy.
Victoria is I'm ready for this.
Wait, now everyone knows what we have in our cars.
I know the nose of my toothbrush,
which by the way is not a thing,
into the dirt.
What?
You have to rub your toothbrush into the dirt
if it's done something wrong.
That's true.
How do you know it can get your mouth clean
if it can't get your mouth dirty first? All right, here we go. One more time. I am not a flesh and blood.
Yet I have many a bone. No limbs except one leg and can't stand on that alone.
My friends are many and dwell in all lands of the human race, but they poke my pornoes into the mud
and shamefully spatter my face. Thrust me into each other's ribs, stick me in gutter and rut.
I have never a window and never a door,
yet I myself am shut.
I think this is a very good, real, I will say.
I'm back, broom.
What you have three, you have five of these in your house,
is it books?
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't.
It's come in handy when I need to look smart
when I'm driving.
Absolutely, good.
When I drive, I just hold up with two hands
a copy of Infinite Jeff. I'm ready to take, Clark. When I drive, I just hold up with two hands a copy of Infinite Jet.
Reveal the dictionary on the highway, looking smoke.
Officer, I wasn't speeding unless you mean speed reading,
of course, but you're ongoing to you, Joe.
Okay.
Many a bone.
I feel like if we just isolate one part of this,
we're being overwhelmed by the trees.
Nope, we're being overwhelmed by the forest.
We need to see each individual tree.
Is it a tree?
Cool, these trees.
I have five trees in my house.
My house is fucked.
Is it skeletons in your closet?
Oh, I always shut.
No, it's not skeletons in my closet.
A hammer.
Is it closets?
No, I'm just looking into a closet.
I don't want.
Yeah.
I think, remember, this is like a tool.
I think this thing is very useful.
This is very useful, but it's also, in my opinion, one of the most forgotten things.
You probably have owned a bunch of these in your life and lost just as many as you've
owned.
I have the best follow up question.
This is going to be such a good hint.
I feel like based on Janet's reaction
So if there was sort of a brave little toaster-esque movie made about this object JBC. What would its voice sound like?
I love this question
Honestly, if I had to pick a voice for this object to sound like it would be like a like a like a
An Englishman who is like seen enough.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, All I can say, all I can say, get into voice acting now so that would have you the Pixar relemoving. Did I say the word umbrella accidentally? I'm so honored. I'm so I don't
do also want to see a scene but can I just say the collective IQ of this podcast
which I guess is just one IQ now. Rose exponentially, each one of you, that me,
not me. Each one of the three of you brought your own gift to that joke
Aaron had you not had that question
JPC never would have done the voice and and JPC had you never done the voice at all you wouldn't have somehow
Fucking immediately
I don't know
But I know my friends
We got a play charades, yeah.
We know we got to play charades.
You guys are going to be so rich.
I guess, somewhere.
Somehow.
Somehow.
I do want to see a scene.
I'm so sorry.
I just need to say, I've never been so overwhelmed
that we are sick, like that there's something wrong with us.
And also so much like, I love it here.
I absolutely love the question I asked was useful.
That was a riddle of history and I was here to watch it
and I feel very blessed right now.
Hashtag.
Shocking.
Can't believe that worked.
I'll never get over it.
I'm sorry, Adam.
I'm blown away.
Janet, you're like the person who first saw a tree fall
in the woods.
So we also needed you because otherwise.
Yeah, otherwise.
Well, you
would have had Casey just to point that out. You would functionally fucking useless.
He's playing Elden ring right now.
There he is. Hi, Casey. I do want to see a scene. So this is a JPC based on the voice that
you did for the umbrella that let us the answer. This is going to be, it's not an audition,
this is like on set, the actual first scene
of a Mary Poppins spin-off where we follow her umbrella.
So JPC, you are Mary Poppins umbrella
and then Aaron and Janet, you are two young British children
who are first meeting the umbrella as it falls
from the sky to help them in their troubled times.
Okay.
Awww, a draptor.
Oh, I dropped her.
She's gone!
No children, children!
Try your tears, try your tears, she's gone.
I dropped her.
Oh, God.
Where's Mary Puff and she was supposed to be back in a minute to take us to a picnic
in the park
You know what? Rubbish and we need someone to guide us through childhood. You know what? I don't know where she is
But I can do I can do all that. I feel very confident in doing all that for you children
You know what pretty soon. You're not even gonna remember the name Mary Puppets. Oh Mary, my favorite person! Where will she be back on Bella?
Yeah, thanks for bringing her up!
Uh, hey, wait, wait, who wants medicine, huh?
Ooh, medicine!
Exactly!
Medicine!
With umbrella in charge, no more medicine, okay?
We'll never have to have medicine ever again.
Not no spoonful of sugar bullshit shit it's no medicine.
Hazar but what about my sister Emily's tuberculosis?
Surely she should take her medicine for that.
Which one's Emily?
I'm actually not sure.
Is it this one?
Is it this one?
Is she Emily?
Paws on your little umbrella side.
Excuse me.
What's with all the hubbub outside?
People are gathered around something in the street screaming.
Oh, crying.
Well, that's why we read in here, uh, in real fast,
because we don't- actually, don't matter.
What is happening out in the streets?
We're all just gonna get our story straight.
We've been playing in here for hours.
Hours, huh, Sammy?
That's not true!
No, it is true.
You're a child, you don't know time.
You don't know!
I'm very uncomfortable taking direction from someone who's clearly from a lower class than
I am.
Alright?
Alright, good point.
Here's what we'll do.
Here's what we'll do.
We're gonna play a little game.
Here's the game.
Are you like games, right? Right?
I think so.
Anything valuable in the house, silver, jewelry, gold, cash, any sort of paper money.
Let's all gather them. It's like all the hide and seek. We gather them. We time a little bindle to be all of them, brilla hook.
And then I'll be up there at the chimney and we end up in chimney and we never end up in the little find me game.
Mr. and brilla, um, can you turn it into a song?
We love it when Mary Poppins turns it into a song.
Yes, it's wonderful.
I would never hit a child.
See.
Two quick things. One, I just realized Mary Poppins is probably also a Kaiju just like the cool admin
Oh, yeah, and two at some points whether it be a patreon or a main feed
We we have to do a whole episode where all we do is we each think of an object and then we try and do the voice of what that object would sound like
And then that and then everyone else guesses what we think
Janet will you come back for that one?
I absolutely will if for no other reason than to once again bear witness on behalf
All listeners everywhere. Yeah bear witness. So it's like the movie with Harrison Ford but a bear in the lead
Right now quickly out of before you forget
All right, all right, we have to do another one.
Here, here.
Here's your next riddle.
This one is from Your Lord, my brother in Christ, 1958.
There's a thing that nothing is, and yet it has a name.
To sometimes tall and sometimes short, it joins our walks, it joins our sport, in plays
at every game.
I know, but.
Oh, Aaron knows it.
So, like the letter A or something?
K, whatever.
Ooh, okay.
Is there a voice that goes away with the answer?
Yeah, can we hear the voice?
That's what I'm hoping for.
Yeah, of course.
So, this is the voice of the answer.
It kind of, it sounds kind of like...
It sounds kind of like...
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. I am the voice of the answer
I'm that's that's okay is it the wind like we're getting a hint it's on our colleague
air and it's me oh yeah it's not an echo but it's it's you're in the right
path where I think with echo but it's not really an echo. It is a shadow. I knew it then.
Did you like my hint?
Was that helpful?
Wait, what?
I'd like to see a scene.
So you're saying that an audio shadow is an echo.
I love it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's going to do a sense.
I don't want to learn physics.
I don't want to learn physics.
Right, that makes some sense.
It's like some semblance of sense.
Yeah. I would like want to learn physics. Right, that makes some sense. It's like some semblance of sense. Yeah.
I would like to say a thing.
Janet, you are Peter Pan and Adel,
you are Peter Pan's shadow,
and you're like having a hard time keeping up.
Like you don't have the same energy that Peter has.
So your work is a lot for you.
Okay.
Alrighty, second British accent of the day. Let's be off to see the last boys pal.
Ta ta ta ta time out time out time out. Hey, do you always have to pose with your hands on your hip like do you always have to do a power pose?
Yeah, that's called a Kimbo. It's a thing.
A Kimbo? Listen, you don't age but I do. Okay.
What?
You know how you don't age, you know how you look like a little boy?
Is this not something you know? Look here, look in the mirror over there.
Let's walk over to the mirror. Walk, walk to the mirror.
Walking to the mirror with a little jump, little spring.
No, no, no, skip over to the mirror.
Oh my knees.
Looking at a very attractive, impish, somewhat androgynous,
loves green and pointy, toad shoes, yes, looking good, buddy.
Yeah, that's you.
Okay, that's not till the sweeten as a child, that's you.
And how old are we?
You're like 438 years old?
438 years young?
Whatever.
Let me have you this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Why is it harder for you? You my friend are just a sliver just a
Sort of a visual echo if you will
Way anything
I'm a sliver huh? Okay, okay. Hey, no, you're good. Hey turn off the lights. Will you?
Peter do you want to come to the dance competition? That sunset?
I love to! Can I compete in every possible category?
Yes, of course!
No, Peter, when is going to be the death of us?
Oh, wonderful!
Quickly, let's fly across London,
and my shadow will play so long it'll cover the entirety of the city!
That's another thing. Hey, Peter,'s another thing when you fly I have to walk
You don't see a shadow when you're flying do you that's because I have to walk wherever you're going
You win some you lose some friend
That's a fucking oh here comes that big dog
Always pissing on me Peter. He's pissing on me
Oh, he's pissing on me. Peter, he's pissing on me. I'm so sorry, friend.
He's smiling.
On the upside, on the upside, buddy, isn't that the exact voice you imagined this dog would have?
Same.
To live it.
Is the dog's name in Peter Pan Nana, or am I making that up?
Yeah.
Oh, I think you're right. I think also
Does it wear a little hat?
Like a little bottle down right? What am I imagining? Oh, Nana?
And it's got a big con.
That's the dog from Peter Pan. Oh
Hover a paw. Yes
I think went that was the first time the name Wendy was ever created by that guy by
Barry, Jay Barry.
No, he was in the Bible for sure, right?
Nana.
You don't think?
Yeah, Wendy's is in the Bible.
Never fresh, never frozen.
Square happened, I guess. That's a is in the Bible. Never fresh number frozen. Square hamburgers.
That's a character from the Bible.
Idiot, Wendy.
And then pretzel bun, pub, or back.
No, I think he created the name Wendy.
I don't think he existed before.
Is it like Wendlin?
And then you would just say Wendy?
No, I'm sorry, Janet.
God, that would be Wendy.
I'm sorry.
You know what?
It was my mistake. I'm sorry. You know what? My mistake.
Spider-Gwindi in there. I apologize.
I apologize.
Oh, I'm sorry. This little hat.
Yeah, that's a little hat.
Oh my.
It was blue in my mind, right?
Apparently, she also served drinks.
This is a picture of her carrying a tray of what appears to be booze.
I'm not sure.
I have a seepeter pan in a minute.

I thought Captain Hook was like, like, had a moment of like, you know what?
I'm the villain.
I just realized.
And then he like stopped.
Did you know that Peter Pan, that the the that's where the phrase we hooked up came from
No, it is yeah, originally it meant to have an alligator eeta male
You know that JPC is a liar
know that JPC is a liar. I didn't. Okay, Aaron. Aaron, keep talking, keep writing your mouth. We're gonna hook up. Oh, we're gonna hook up. And it's gonna be in the alligator
way. I do. Question. Peter Pampin at Butter. Why? Like right there. Like, why did that
get to be a thing? Is it not? Is it not because?
It is not because.
It's an 1958 with that riddle.
Is Peter Pan one of those things that's in the public domain,
or is it a Disney-owned property?
I feel like it's Disney owned.
Okay, okay.
Then that would mean that they own
VaynerPran, VaynerPran, VaynerPran, or?
I thought it was one of those weird public domain characters
that just after so long, just became anyone could use it type of thing a lot of people have googled it before us so
The novel is public domain
Interesting
Okay, hold on until 2023 so if you want to do your
Next year we're putting it up. We're bouncing a production of Peter Pan. Yeah. Do you guys know how that I
love, you know how I love like stage bloopers like theater
bloopers. They're my favorite part about YouTube. I think my
favorite one if I had to pick one is the Peter Pan one where
they pulled the wrong rope. You know I'm talking about and the girl gets scared. I love it so much. So much goes wrong
in such a short amount of time but my favorite part is when they pulled the wrong rope and the girl
who's pretending to sleep in the bag goes flying instead of Peter. We said that to us? Yes I will.
There's a this American life episode called Fiasco that has the best, you know, this, that has the best story about Peter Pan.
For sure, one of my favorite episodes of this American life.
Oh, it's so good.
I think it's a separate occasion that this video is.
Isn't that so crazy?
I'm sure.
It makes no make sense, though, because that does seem like it's one of those plays that's like,
it just is in the canon and everyone does it, but it seems like no one thinks about how complicated
it is to make people fly until they've already decided to do it and outstit and cast it.
Yeah, especially kids running like thick wire, thick wire hiles.
Yeah.
It's not theater.
It's not a union make.
I think my favorite one I've seen is it's like a Wizard of Oz production and Dorothy's
like, total, we're not in Kansas anymore.
And there's a real dog playing Toto
and it runs and just falls off stage.
It's like a, I mean, the dog was fine, thank God.
But it's like a eight foot drop off the stage
and everyone just gasps.
That's very funny.
I think when, about that all the time,
because you have these professional like Peter Pan
being put on by a professional theater
with people whose job it is to do things safely and whatnot. And then like high schools are like, we're gonna do Peter Pan being put on by a professional theater with people whose job it is to you know do things
Safely and whatnot and then like high schools are like we're gonna do Peter Pan
I've ever my junior year we did spider-man turn off the dark at my high school and I think like 11 kids died
No, I mean did you know that you see as a liar? I
Think that you brought up spider-man because that is the natural go to it's like,
but wait, there's a grown up version of Peter Pan
that is Spider-Man that actually couldn't be
produced in a proper way for the exact same reason.
Y'all ever get high and watch YouTube videos
but what went wrong with that Spider-Man musical?
I can't recommend it up.
Yeah, I haven't read it yet,
but I bought a book that basically describes
the whole shit show that was that production.
I love it.
Okay, here you go.
Speaking of shit shows,
here's your next riddle from 1968, okay.
Now we're getting groovy.
Imagine the farmer nude long hair.
Woodstock.
We're only growing weed beans, man.
Okay, here we go. Let those who have skilled to make
clear now try to discover my name. Four brothers I have in the fifth I appear, but our age
is exactly the same.
Alex Baldwin.
It's got a surprising amount of brothers. A surprising amount of brothers. Um, yet I
to their stature shall never attain,
though as fast as them always I grow,
but nature I'm destined, a dwarf to remain.
So my riddle, you'll easily know.
Is this like a compass or something
where it's like northeast southwest
is it's brothers or something or it's...
That's good, but it's no, no, it is not a compass.
It's gonna stay small, even though it's brother's get bigger. Yep, yep, yep, it is not a compass. It's gonna stay small even though it's brilliant. There's kept bigger.
Yep, yep, yep.
It's always gonna be yet to their stature shall never attain.
And but do they also say I am inside one of my brothers?
They're so kind of weird meta.
And that's why.
And that's why.
And that's why.
And that's why.
If that was said, it was a Freudian slip on my part.
I thought it's like, I appear in my brothers. Yeah, so for brothers house Targaryen
For brothers I have in the fifth I appear there. I think it just means that it has four brothers
Yeah, I think it's just a couple get away fifth. I appear what's something that's one of five and the fifth I
And the fifth one I
And the fifth I have. And the fifth I have.
It's one of five, yes, one of five.
Toes, fingers, your tiny pinky toe.
Oh, you picked it.
You have nailed it.
Thumb or the pinky toe.
It is the tiny little toe.
It says the little toe, but I would call that the pinky toe.
And as the winner, it is my right to ask to hear the voice of the pinky toe,
JPC, if you would.
More supper, please. Hold on, I can do this better.
More supper please.
Hold on, I can do this better.
More supper please.
There you go.

Hey, you know what?
You'll never wear one of these.
Oh, yes.
I don't really have...

I was longing to be a part of something and you welcomed me with open...
joists.
Don't talk about it, sing about it.
I would never hit a child!
You need it!
Okay, here's the thing that happened that people who can't see wouldn't know.
And I know it's an optical illusion
But I swear to God I felt like JPC's image grew smaller
Well, he was doing that voice. It was like the grunches
He was shrunk down and his cheeks got rosaier and he was holding a big little lollipop. Yes
It was crazy
Just shaking into my zone. It was so cute.
Okay, well speaking of me being cute, let's do another riddle.
Here we go. This is from an old Farmer's Almanac from 1862.
1862.
Oh boy.
Oh, that's too old.
It's very old.
It's too old.
I am a singular creature.
Pray tell me my name.
Oh, that's what comes back then.
And let's roll again.
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
I am a singular creature.
Pray tell me my name.
I partake of my countrymen's glory and fame.
I daily am old.
I daily am new.
I am praised.
I am blamed. I am false, I am true. I'm the talk of the nation while I'm in my prime.
But forgotten, when once I've outlasted my time.
And the morning no miss is more corded than I.
In the evening, you see me thrown carelessly by.
Take warning, e-fair, I like you have my day.
But alas, you like me must grow old and decay.
A banana, the news.
Like the First Amendment.
What do you have a banana?
The First Amendment and the news.
Okay, so I need to spend this.
Zones, you.
You can see, what have you got it right?
Wait, what's your voice?
What's your the voice?
The voice, okay, this is the voice of this thing.
Hmm, yes, well, oh, yes.
Okay.
It's a newspaper.
It's a newspaper.
Clearly a banana.
Clearly a banana.
Did you see what you do if it was a banana?
How would the voice sound?
This is a banana, okay.
No, boy!
It's time to have a little potassium!
Kill it, kill it, and one,
what would the first amendment sound like?
What would the first amendment sound like?
Mala, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
yeah.
Nailed it.
Nailed it.
Really good at this game.
I wonder if there is a way for me to pivot this into something.
Can you sing about it?
I would never did a child.
First, if it's the first lyric of your song, clearly you would.
It's top of mind.
Yeah, he thinks the first of it that Doug versus you, but.
Oh, okay.
Because that's what they had back then.
That's what they had going on.
Not going to be a TV.
Not going to be a radio.
I'd like to see you see the right riddles about the news.
Um, Addle and Janet, you are two neighbors in the 1800s and...
But we're not British, right?
No, you're not British, don't worry.
Your normal neighbor is normal, not British. Normal? Not that British. Don't worry. Your normal neighbor is normal not British
Not that British people like no god. Oh
So norwegian just to be clear just to keep keeping keeping tally norwegians are dirty little animals
It's not normal. Okay
So you are two neighbors in the 1800s and you are
Gossiping and getting news about the world and your town from each other
Oh for for sooth dawn morning
Janet hey Wilson. How's it going?
Good good. I'm taking a class on language. I can tell he sound very fancy indeed
class on language. I can tell he's on very fancy indeed.
Did Dioff hear that Melissa Williams upon last eve did shrink herself down to the size
of a thimble and did walketh through Mr. Thurston's door knob in which once inside she
did mess about his pots and pans?
That really happened?
That's an extraordinary piece of gossip.
That's what Ty heard.
It seems very fleshed out.
Like I'm curious if it started out as a realistic story and then turned into Melissa
shrinking herself down to the size of a them.
I don't even think a thimble could get through.
Would you say a thimble could go through a keyhole? Is that what you said?
A small thimble.
Like how small. That that's all.
Wait, are you saying something happened where one person Doth did say something?
Another person, upon them, did hear it.
Yes.
They did relay that to thine another ear.
They did misinterpret and so forth and thus on.
Like the canon string game.
Like the fun beloved canon string game.
Yes, Canon String.
Oh, daddy, daddy.
I have another piece of gossip for you.
I hoard another very interesting story.
Oh, what did that find here?
So when it was time for me to take a bath, all the water came came out of the bathtub and then it went into the ocean
And I got sucked into the ocean and then I took a bath in the ocean and then I a fish swam up to me
And I made twins with twins with the fish and I can speak to the fish and we made plans to meet again later
Janet
Vi carries more news. Okay. All right. My son did take thine bath and upon thine bath. He took my bath.
Listen, I'm taking a language class. Maybe I'm taking the two literally. Work with thy.
Great. Upon thine bath, he did get sucketh down into the ocean. A fish swallowed him whole.
He's been 60 days and 60 nights inside th fish upon which he built a boat in the morn
He sailed at the fish's mouth into the space and time
Above us all and in the sky he did explode into a constellation
So now one night that fall the man holding an arrow and bow made from the parts of a ship. That is my son
I actually heard almost all of that story and then it, it sounds to me based on what
I was told by your son that you just bullshitted through the last little piece of that.
I don't think some of that sounded like it was made up on the spot and that's how that
thing works.
You know what Janet, I've realized the gossip in this town work is a one way street.
I give you all the gossip every day and all you do is give me notes on my gossip.
What did you do yesterday?
What did you hear?
Listen to me.
You know what they say about gossip.
Gossip is poison that you sip.
Oh.
That you put the sip in gossip.
Oh, oh, gossip gossip everywhere and not a drop the drink.
Thank you.
And that's why you shouldn't gossip.
Oh.
Also your house has been sold out from underneath you by your son.
He isn't.
What?
You are.
You no longer have a home.
He is so funny.
Oh.
Well, at least I don't call my dog my daughter.
Are you talking about Nana?
Yeah.
How dare you.
You put a little hat on a dog.
How dare you, sir.
Oh, here comes the mayor.
Mayor.
Mayor.
Yes.
What's up here today?
What are you sorry?
My voice, I didn't mean to do that. so aggressively with my voice in a way that it would
hurt.
Well, I heard that there's two neighbors who gossip a lot and one of them exaggerates
and gets a lot wrong in the, oh, I remember who I heard this about.
It's like, back to waste, lolly.
Bye-bye.
Let's see.
Oh, Mary, I told you that in confidence. Back to way slowly. Bye-bye. Let's see.
Oh, Mayor, I told you that in confidence.
All right, we have time.
We trust me.
We have time to do one more of these riddles.
This is from a farmer's almanac from 1948, 1948.
Small the YM, greatestterations I achieve, and
oft the wisest of mankind to seep. Patriots and lawgivers, by me, their sway,
maintain and lead the nation to obey. Minor those gifts and mind those powers
refined, which from the brute, distinguished, kind. I give new pleasures when the song goes round
and charm the hearers with melodious sound.
Like a guitar string or a pen.
Like a guitar string.
It's like a guitar string.
It's like the human voice, but it's neither of those things.
It's like a music.
Like a thumbs up.
It's not piano.
You're getting farther afield.
High five. Do the voice, do the voice, do the fucking voice. Dance on music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music. It's music.

It's music. It's music. For the field. My master's voice, his master's voice, something.
Yeah, for that, it was the RCA dog.
Okay, this is the voice of the thing.
Okay, give me one second.
Help, man.
This is, this is, by the way, my toughest challenge yet
to do the voice of this thing.
Take all the time you need,
because we're gonna cut that last scene
that we did more with the Gossipy neighbors.
So there you go.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, okay, an actor prepares.
Well, this is my voice. Have you seen my voice? A torn umbrella.
It's not a torn umbrella. Now, let's say it's a flappy sort of a flappy voice.
Yes, a lot of air.
A kite.
A loose kite.
A bagpipe.
An ego, a bagpipes ego.
We used to, yeah.
Bagpipes ego also open for the Decemberus.
Yeah.
I feel like this, it's this thing where they're like,
yeah, let's go see the alchemist.
He always turns the, he always turns the simple materials
at a gold and the, you get to the alchemist's house and he's like, well, let's go see the alchemist. He always turns the simple materials at a gold,
you get to the alchemist's house and he's like,
well, I'm out of the trick that I usually do.
This whole thing is based on a lie.
It doesn't work.
Basically, what I'm saying is we had a flu
and it doesn't work.
Is it a bubble?
Is it a piece of gum?
A bubble?
A bubble?
A bubble, sways.
We're getting further.
All right. Small way I am.
Great errations I achieve and off the wisest of mankind to see.
Patriots and lawgivers by me their sway,
maintain and lead the nation to obey.
Minor those gifts and mind those powers refined,
which from the brute, distinguished humankind,
I give new pleasures when the song goes round
and charm the hearers with melodious sound.
Man, a name. Manors, the song goes round and charm the hearers with melodious sound. A name.
A name.
Manor's the song.
It's not, it's not the song manners.
It's like a harmonica.
Triton.
Triton.
Triton.
I, the thing that separates Brutes from sophisticated is a harmonica.
Which from the Brute Distinguished Human Kind.
Now here's the thing that I would say with this is that I think
The answer to this riddle is not like if you're thinking of like the brute as like an animal
Animals have this as well, so it's not yeah, it's this is not unique to humans
I think that's a bad part of this riddle out of zappel
no
No, it's it's not an analyst apple. Thank you ring
No, it's not an adult's apple. Thank you, Ring.
It's got to be a callback to something we've already talked about.
That's the rule.
That's the rule for comedy.
It's not the rule for brittle.
Circle.
I think the easiest, the one that I think is patriots and lawgivers give me their sway,
maintain and lead the nation to obey.
Tongue?
By me, adult, it is a tongue.
Do you hear that voice again?
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it.
That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it I didn't realize it was a tongue. Yeah, it is tough.
And it's, and I don't advise you at home to do the tongue voice.
The tongue voice is hard to execute.
It seems like you could hurt your own tongue by doing the tongue voice.
Yes.
Can I say something?
You say don't do the tongue voice.
The tongue voice is hard to do.
Never do the tongue voice.
It's impossible.
I think the tongue voice is just fladorious plop. I think I've been doing the tongue voice. It's impossible. I think the tongue voice is just fladorious plump
I think I've been doing the tongue voice
Here is the jowl voice
Yeah, good call a little air and the
Yeah, I get a house. What can you be should you have my demand you today?
I'm hearing the jowls. I'm not this is a a man who reads through his jowls somehow. Plop has gills.
Yes, tell your friend. Can it. It's canon. It's good. But Aaron did say that there might be a fourth host
and I do want to submit my audition tape for Flodorias Plops Cousin. Let's see. Let's see.
Flodorias clop. Flodorias clop not clotorious clomp.
His name is Plotorious and he talks like a tongue.
This is a thycathorious clomp here
that's not talking like a tongue.
Just spit all over my bike and confuse me.
I don't want to do this character anymore.
We'll have to clean that up later.
Fair enough, fair enough.
Look, we've reached it.
We've reached the inevitable point of the show.
It's everyone's favorite segment.
It's the segment that Adeltiz, a little earlier in the podcast that we get to do in earnest now.
And that is a segment we call plugs. This is where we get to talk about anything that we have
upcoming that we're very excited about. And guess the owner, we'll start with you,
Janet. Janet, is there anything that you would like to find folks out there in Heyverd over to land
to know about? Well, I mean, I'd love to plug Halloween. If you feel like you're too old to wear a costume, I want you to know that there are people
everywhere, every day who are wearing costumes who are older than you, you absolutely should
celebrate it.
However, means you see fit.
Happy Halloween.
I know it's a couple weeks away.
Happy Halloween.
I can't, you are so right.
You're the first to wish you happy Halloween.
I want to be the first person to wish each and every one of you
happy Halloween.
Wow.
I think that you are so right.
I mean, the businessman wearing is for a pursuit to work.
Yeah.
That's a costume.
That's right.
That's a costume.
The nurse wearing their scrubs.
I'm so sure.
What are you hiding behind those life-saving scrubs?
It's costume.
I guess it's not the scrubs that save lives.
That's probably rude.
I came out wrong.
Yeah, you're right.
It's the doctors.
The nurses don't save lives.
I think that they have the scalpel and stuff like that, right? I mean,
that's what Janet's saying. Janet's saying that nursing is not a real profession.
I'm saying that the TV show scrubs has saved lives because.
So Norwegians.
Nurses, we're getting, hey, look, if we haven't got you yet,
hey, we're trying to work our way through everybody.
Everybody gets one.
Nobody's safe.
Nobody's safe.
Thank you, Spider-Man.
Everybody gets one.
Hey, we're the little shocked,
jock's segment.
Nobody's safe.
Everybody's at risk.
Nick Melty showed up on that guest.
What's going to be another 48 hours, Nick?
I'm speaking of another 48 hours. We can't take that long with plugs. Addle, do you have anything
that you would like people to know about?
Yes. One is, hello from the Magic Tavern. The podcast that Chill Lopy named is going to be
doing some upcoming live shows. We'll be at the Bellhouse in New York City on Friday,
October 14th. So please come see us then. We will also be, by now, it should be announced,
and if it's not, this will be the announcement,
we're also gonna be in Chicago at Tauley Hall
on Saturday, December 17th, just in time for the holidays,
and I believe we're gonna be doing a holiday show.
So please check this out, you can go to
hellofromthematgytaphernd.com for more info and tickets.
And also, number two, like Janet was saying,
I have a great Halloween, maybe eight years ago, I went as Abraham LinkedIn.
And that was a, that was a fun costume.
A lot of people like that.
So if you're trying to think of something, just do that.
All you need is that.
That's a good.
And, uh, and like a little card, this is LinkedIn Abraham LinkedIn.
Aaron, do you have anything to plug?
Uh, yes.
I think it's this week.
I'm on this week's comedy bang bang episode.
Um, and I was very nervous to go on this week's comedy bang bang episode.
And I was very nervous to go on.
It's the first time and maybe last time I'll ever be
on the show.
So if you want to listen to that and make it to be sweet,
that would be so nice.
I also want to plug sitcom D&D always.
You can find that wherever you find podcasts.
And the last thing I'd like to plug
is every Wednesday from now until until I don't know forever.
Chicago comedians in LA are hosting a show. Each week it's hosted by a different improv team
and Wet Bus hosts the second Wednesday of the month. But I'll be, I think, mostly at every single
show. I'll be around either performing or hanging out. And it's at the art theater. It's
called Chalax Comedy. And you can follow me on Instagram
if you want to know more about that.
JPC, do you want to read a sweet little five star review
of the show?
I would love to read a five star review of the show.
This one we have is coming from,
I want to see Nargolowl.
And it says, I heard JPC is reading reviews.
I dedicate those review to my colleague, Puppy,
Margot, pronounced Margot.
Okay, then why did you spell it Margot, stupid? Uh, anyway, who listens to the podcast with me?
Hey Margot, Margot, you're a good girl. How you doing, Margot? Do you want to go outside? Do you
want to go to the dog park? Good girl, Margot, good girl. I got you something. Do you want some
cheese? I got some cheese. Hopefully you read this on air. Margot has the zoomies by now and is going bonkers.
I love the show.
Thank you for making me laugh every week.
Thank you, Nurgle Allel.
And as always, if you want to get your review featured
on the show, just leave a five star review on Apple iTunes
and it may be one of the lucky ones
that I picked to read to your dog.
And speaking of five star reviews, Aaron,
I don't know if you saw in the night sky. There seems to be a lot of stars shining a little brighter than normal.
And I think because currently, Jupers, the closest it'll ever be, what's the planet I just said?
Um, I don't, I don't want to say it because if I say it, then Janet will eat.
Well, think of Janet Varnie as Planet Varnie and you can only send her home by saying the name of the planet planet
Varney by Jupiter runs up to my room throws myself
