Erin

This is a HeadGum Podcast.

JPC

Hey Adal, hey Erin. Have you guys ever woken up and immediately needed a nicotine pouch and or a cup of coffee just to feel like a human?

Erin

Big time.

JPC

Well, if so, I've got the perfect thing for you guys. It's called Coffitine. It's called JPC... JPC-atine.

Erin

JPC... Okay, your notes are... They're burnt on the edges and they're covered in... I had to eat my notes.

Adal

This is gross. It's just your finger in a cup of coffee.

Erin

Ugh. There's gotta be an easier way.

JPC

Well, I tricked you guys because there is an easier way. Ultra pouches. They've been a complete game changer for my focus and energy levels. First off, these pouches are completely nicotine-free and caffeine-free. And so you're probably thinking, if they don't have nicotine or caffeine in them, what exactly is in them? Well, that's a great question.

Erin

What exactly is in them?

JPC

Yeah, thank you, Erin. You're just a little small on that. But Ultra partnered with leading neuroscientists to design these pouches. They use clinically proven nootropics and adaptogens to deliver immediate focus and smooth energy that last one to two hours.

00:01:03

Adal

So it sounds like what you're saying is if you're fasting or on a diet, ultra pouches actually help quiet cravings and suppress appetite, keeping you locked in to achieve your goals, which is, for us, 10 episodes today.

Erin

And all without caffeine, nicotine, or a crash. I don't love that crash out, but with this you don't have to do that nose dive after two cups of coffee that is a day ruiner.

JPC

Plus, they're trusted by top athletes, entrepreneurs, and engineers around the world, and one person who is all three of those things. And I won't say who, but we all know who it is.

Erin

And they have five insanely good flavors. Cool Mint, Wintergreen, Tropical Watermelon, and Blue Raz. Isn't that right, Blue Raz? Oh yeah!

Erin

That's right. I'll see you later. I love you.

JPC

Love you too, Blue Raz. Seems like a different little guy.

Adal

Erin, JPC, I have some big news.

Erin

Okay, exciting. I'm gonna get all settled and ready to hear the big news.

JPC

Is it size big or importance big?

Adal

Oh great, you know what? Nobody asked that question. It is important, I guess, to me.

00:03:07

Erin

So it's very small and very important.

JPC

Yeah, I think so.

Erin

Like teeny tiny, hold in my hand important.

JPC

Is it commiserate? Does the teeny tininess of the news correlate with the importance of the news? I don't think so. Okay, so it just happens to be itty bitty teeny tiny mouse news that is very important to you personally.

Adal

Oh, are you guys following mouse news? Did you hear? Oh my God, yes. Cheese is banned?

Erin

Oh my God. See, I have to unplug from the news sometimes because it's so stressful. Do you know what I mean? I just can't do that to my nervous system every morning to wake up and find out cheese is banned.

JPC

But this is the opposite, Erin, because this is good news. This is good news. Unlike cheese, cheese is causing fibromyalgia, fibromyalgia. We had to ban the cheese from the mice because it was causing too much fibromyalgia. So we had to ban the cheese from the mice.

00:04:19

Erin

What rat is this rat?

Adal

I hope you guys don't mind. I did invite Rat FK on the podcast. I thought it would be fun to have just a different perspective.

Erin

Oh good. Can I ask him some medical advice?

Adal

Please.

Erin

Rat FK, why are you so horrible?

JPC

Well, you know, that is subjective, but it has probably something to do with the fact that I'm a rat and also a Kennedy.

Erin

Okay. Thanks for coming.

JPC

Two horrible things.

Erin

Okay. Shoves outdoor.

JPC

You know how like chocolate and peanut butter is good?

Erin

Shove, shove, shove, shove, shove outdoor. Adal, what is your news?

JPC

I'm like poison oak in a car crash.

Erin

Oh my God, he got back in. Oh my God, he got back in.

Adal

Is he gone? I think he's... Yeah, what do you think?

JPC

Do you think people want more Rad FK on the show? What's the news?

Adal

The news is... I'm drinking coffee and eating watermelon. That's it. Oh, okay. It's a combination I've never had.

00:05:23

Erin

Adal, you set that up perfectly. It feels like small news, but that's great. Yeah, it's important to me. Because those flavors work together.

JPC

Coffee and watermelon feels like something Rad FK would probably endorse, right? Yeah, it's pretty bad. But the watermelon, I feel like, hydrates you while the coffee kind of dehydrates you, right? There's something there. Yeah.

Adal

And there's a nice, it's, I'm eating watermelon, a watermelon, feta cheese, and tomato mint salad that I made last night. Okay. So the sort of sweetness and saltiness of that plus the bitterness of the coffee is really, it's a real war in my mouth.

???

Yeah.

Erin

Um, Adal, I'm looking this up and RatFK says, ooh, that watermelon coffee together cause ADHD in preschoolers. So.

Adal

Well, I'm an adult.

Erin

Better, better be safe.

Adal

And I already have ADHD.

Erin

Maybe we'll undo it. That's how science works now, I guess.

Adal

Now you know how you got it, dumbass.

JPC

So am I going to be an X-Men now?

00:06:23

Erin

I don't know, let's ask. Rat FK, come back in.

JPC

I am realizing now that I told you guys before recording, I was like, yeah, I'm like, I slept like shit last night, I have a head cold. And I'm like, and then unprompted, I decided to do Rat FK. Like, my throat is on fire. And I'm like, why don't I just launch into an impression nobody asked for, nobody wants.

Erin

Rat FK actually said that that voice is good for your vocal cords and good to do while you have a cold.

JPC

Yeah, I would take any advice that that man had about vocal cords.

Erin

You have to pause before you say man.

JPC

Well, I was like, do we do the pretense of rat? Do I say it's a rat? We are talking about Rat FK here. No, he's a bad guy. And he's got a funny little voice on him.

Adal

Well, here's the thing. It's so interesting that Rat FK popped up because I did want to start with something kind of rat related, which is... Oh, Rat-FK's at the window. He's tapping a beat. Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop b

00:07:40

JPC

A hamster with autism.

Erin

A fox with a French horn.

Adal

A sea lion with eyesight issues. A giraffe who took Tylenol. Okay, let's Animal Parade.

JPC

Animal Parade. Let's get him out of here. RideFK, get out of here.

Adal

Wait, he's dragging a big bag of animal parts. What is that? He has a giraffe neck. He has a whale penis.

Erin

Whatever he's doing, it's not scaring his kids.

Adal

Instead of going from Animal Parade into an Animal Article or an Animal Riddle, I thought what we would do is, much like RideFK wants us to do, I want to educate us on animals, so I have some trivia about animal little tidbits. So we're just going to go through these pretty quickly. I'll ask you some questions. If you don't know them, I'm not going to. Draw it out because it is trivia, not riddles. So if you don't know it, you don't know it. Got it.

00:08:48

JPC

You're not going to make us feel like stupid about it if we don't know it.

Adal

I'm not going to make you feel stupid. I'll think it. Here's the first one. Because, hey guys, animals are humans too. And I feel like we should know more about them.

Erin

You're right.

Adal

A dog sweats through which part of its body? Now you're both dog owners.

Erin

Don't guess butthole.

JPC

And it's not butthole, I know that, but why is the butthole always so wet? So wet.

Erin

What about tummy? What about ears?

JPC

It's mouth, right? It's mouth. They pant, that's why they pant.

Adal

What I have here says paws.

Erin

Is that right? Isn't that the same as people?

Adal

Yeah, we definitely sweat through our paws.

Erin

Sweaty hands.

Adal

Which animal's poop is known to take the shape of cubes?

JPC

Dude. Shit and bricks. I feel like I learned this at the zoo at one point, but now I cannot for the life of me think of which one. But this is true, right? Picasso.

00:09:52

Adal

A cubist poop. Yeah, exactly. Everyone's staring at the poop with like, sort of stroking their chin going, mmm, I get it.

Erin

I get it. I get it.

JPC

Is the answer Bebop or Rocksteady? Because I feel like with what went on with them and The Ooze, they might shit cubes.

Adal

I don't think any two comic book characters have ever been better named than Bebop and Rocksteady.

JPC

Bebop and Rocksteady are phenomenal. Just absolutely phenomenal. All-timers. Love Bebop and Rocksteady.

Adal

This is an animal we don't really talk about or think about much. Erin, you may have touched one. It's something they did. They're kind of out of fashion. A dead pigeon?

JPC

A wombat.

Erin

A wombat!

JPC

Yes, it is a wombat. I knew it was an Australian animal. God damn it.

Erin

Interesting. Okay. I am learning. I'm learning. It hurts, but I'm learning.

Adal

Which animal can move its eyes independently? And it's not like a strong woman beaver. It's not like, I can move my eyes when I want.

00:10:52

Erin

It's on a girl boss beaver.

Adal

Damn! That's a shirt. What did you say, JP?

JPC

I said my beaver's up here because we were talking about eyes. Damn, my beaver's up here. Move its eyes independently. I'm guessing a bird. I was thinking flying animal as well.

Adal

Both are incorrect, and here's what I'll say. There could be birds or flying animals that do this, but I'm going purely off the sheet I have in front of me, and that is a chameleon.

JPC

Oh, of course. Oh, that makes sense.

Adal

Yep.

JPC

Yes, I feel like now I know that for sure.

Adal

Okay, this is an interesting one. It says, why might you see a frog dancing? And that does sound like a riddle, but I guess it's a fun little animal tidbit.

Erin

Isn't it trying to like, figure out the weather? Like I'm picturing a... I'm turning my camera back on for it. You know when frogs go like this?

Adal

It says here because it just got married. I'm going to turn my camera back on. Ribbit ribbit. Now everyone. It says, guys, we got to do it. Is it to shake the eggs off? It says it's when it's trying to impress a mate. Hmm.

00:12:15

JPC

Okay, that makes sense. Little mating dance. I feel like mating song, mating dance. Those are things that we know about.

Adal

Let's do one more. Actually, I do want to see a scene. Okay. JPC and Erin, you are giving toasts to a frog couple who just got married. And this is that moment.

Erin

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. Hi, everybody. Sorry to interrupt your We are the Parents of the Groom and we just wanted to thank you all so much for coming down to the pond and say a few words.

JPC

Now, I know a lot of you must be thinking, as a human man and as frog wife, I am not Mr. Puddle's birth father. But I am the dad who stepped up, if you know what I'm saying. Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. And I never learned frog, so apologies. I apologize if I get some of this wrong, but my wife has been helping me these past few months, and I'd like to say something from the bottom of my heart about my son.

00:13:27

???

Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit. Ribbit.

JPC

Ribbit Madam Slimsham, please! Madam Slimsham, please, let me say it!

Erin

Honey, but you're saying some pretty offensive things, so just be really careful about your pronunciation.

JPC

I'm trying my best! Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. Slow down. Ribbit. Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit. Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.

Erin

You're being tad polarizing. We like that!

JPC

What did he say? What did that frog say? I'm trying my best!

00:14:28

Adal

Buddy, hey, I think you gotta get out of here.

JPC

What do you mean?

Erin

My son... Honey, they're gonna beat you up. They're gonna beat you up.

JPC

They're gonna beat you up. Well, Mrs. Slipsham, I mean, they're frogs.

Erin

Wow. I'm not... I'm not... You're drunk. I'm sorry, everybody. We're sorry. Sorry. Get it, honey. Go sober up.

JPC

Everybody's drunk. It's a wedding.

Erin

You're human drunk, not frog drunk. That's different.

JPC

How?

Erin

You know what?

JPC

You know what? I have something to say and I'm going to say it in human because I've heard the rebels and I think a lot of you frogs speak when I speak.

Adal

I think a lot of you frogs speak in human.

JPC

When I married 31 years ago, a widowed frog, I was excised by the human community. They didn't want anything to do with me. I got called awful names. Frog fucker. Et cetera. But you all embraced me. You all made me part of your society. And I finally am doing the work to fit in with you. And I can't get a little grace? A little understanding?

00:15:41

Adal

All the frogs taking out handkerchiefs, stabbing their eyes.

???

Sorry. We understand now.

Erin

We understand frog fucker.

???

Everything except for excise. Sorry frog fucker. A toast.

JPC

To my frog son. To his frog life. Ribbit, ribbit, let's dance.

???

Un-frog-bibble.

JPC

Two hops right now, then two more hops, then another couple hops.

Erin

Was that uncomfortable to do because it's so autobiographical?

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

Was that too close to home because you have sex with frogs?

JPC

I changed subtle parts of that character to match what the scene was supposed to be about, but wise-eared listeners will know that there are similarities, certain similarities.

Adal

You're a frog fucker. Let's do one more. What is a group of kittens called? And this is something that might be in each of your homes.

00:16:54

JPC

Now I know a Kitty Pryde is a X-Men.

Adal

Mm-hmm.

JPC

Shadowcat. End of me talking.

Adal

Do you know the name of her little dragon?

JPC

Kitty Pryde's little dragon must be called... Tiny Kitty. A basket.

Erin

A basket of kittens?

Adal

It's not a basket, but that is a great guess. It is called a Kindle. A kindle of kittens.

JPC

A kindle of kittens.

Adal

Wow. Fun.

JPC

Which came first?

Adal

I assume the kittens. I would like to see the scenes. I've only been around for so many years.

Erin

You guys are two kittens and you're the last two to be adopted and you're trying to figure out like how to be cute. You're in competition with each other. You're trying to out cute each other.

???

Okay, I think I get it. Welcome back to Uh, maybe, oh I'm gonna, I'm gonna poof out my fur. That's so smart. Yeah. I look adorable. And I'm gonna like, I'm gonna stumble walk like... Me?

00:18:21

JPC

You know how our tails are not prehensile? Yeah. I found some double-sided tape. I'm gonna tape my tail around this cat tower and it's gonna look like I'm a cat with a prehensile tail. It's gonna look like I'm like an amazing, you know, I have a preternatural cat ability that most cats don't.

Adal

Oh, Little Socks. I'm gonna put on Little Socks. Fuck me, Little Socks is such a smart call. Goddamnit, why did I pick Little Socks? Maybe a little hat or something, like a little sailor hat. That's it. Yeah, of course. Socks and a sailor hat. Socks and a sailor hat. All right, bitch, I'll see ya.

JPC

I'm getting picked up.

Erin

I'm getting picked up.

JPC

We'll take that one for the Navy.

???

No! Yay.

Adal

A submarine was shot down today. Can a submarine be shot down? Well, let's get into this.

Erin

Well, if you were even lower in the ocean.

JPC

We were going down anyway, but you can't hurt us. You can't do anything to us that we couldn't do to ourselves.

Adal

Alright, here's our first riddle. Sometimes I crawl, sometimes I fly. You can get stuck in me, which is usually when I start to honk. What am I?

00:19:29

Erin

Okay, everybody, let's take it easy. No one say vagina. It's probably not that.

Adal

Is it a sneaking goose? Erin, I do have to ask, does your vagina honk? And there's no wrong answer here.

Erin

I would like to call my lawyer. So he can tell you, yes.

JPC

If I'm passing a group of protesters or something, yeah.

Erin

That's so fucking funny. That rocks.

Adal

Can you read it again? Sometimes I crawl, sometimes I fly. You can get stuck in me, which is usually when I start to honk. What am I? And JBC, you're- Traffic. It's traffic. Wow. I do want to say something. Yeah. JBC, you're in a car behind Erin, just like a traffic jam, and you are kind of road raging out, and you both get out of your cars to confront each other. This fucking guy.

Erin

Fuck this. Fuck this. Fuck this. Do you know how to merge?

00:20:29

JPC

Getting out of my car. Fuck this. Fuck this. Oh, I'm getting out of my car. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Oh, hey Brainiac. Where did you go to driving school? Fucking beauty academy?

Erin

Uh, hey handsome. Where did you learn how to be a jerk behind me? At the Handsome Factory?

JPC

Oh, that's just great. Everybody give it up for the most beautiful driving woman I have ever seen in my life.

Erin

Oh, that is rich. Coming from someone who is... Is this your car? I'm looking at your license plate. Is this registered to you if I wanted to find you later?

JPC

Oh, you think that's rich? I'm rich, and I could give you a good life.

Erin

Wow. Wow. Of course.

JPC

If you'd give me a chance. If you'd give a guy like me a shot.

Erin

Yeah, because I want my kids to have a father that looks... has soft eyes like you. Has soft eyes like you. And uses his directional... Oh yeah, as if. Classic.

00:21:30

JPC

As if I want my kids to have a mom who's strong and bold and willing to stand up for herself. As if that's something I'm looking for. Oh good, traffic's moving. Why don't we just pull off into this Ruth Chris Steakhouse and I buy you a dinner.

Erin

Oh wow, maybe we get a bottle of wine to share. And you know what? Let me preemptively give you my phone number in case we get into a car accident or in case we have a really nice time.

JPC

Oh good, I'll just put this into my phone contacts and I'll save your contact name as Hot Woman Angry.

Erin

Oh wow, that is so funny. And I'll put you in as future husband. Isn't that interesting?

JPC

Wow, you know what? This has been nice. I hope we have sex at a Red Roof Inn later.

Erin

I completely agree. Both of their spouses are at the passenger seats being like, what is going on out there?

JPC

Honey, what were you yelling about? I have no idea. I lost my shit completely at that woman.

Adal

Scene. That's how more traffic fights need to go.

00:22:31

Erin

Yeah. People all over the world. I usually come out in the dark, but when I'm out, it's not dark.

Adal

What am I?

Erin

Are you gay? The sun. Happy Pride Monday, everybody.

Adal

It's July. It's not a gay sun. I usually come out in the dark, but when I'm out, it's not dark. What am I? It's not a gay sun, but if it was, I would embrace him.

JPC

Just what I said.

Erin

It's not the moon? It's not the sun? It's not a planet? It's not a star?

JPC

It's not the sun.

Adal

Is it a pizza?

JPC

Is it a frozen pizza?

Adal

Today we're I'm always thinking of Sting. Oh my God!

00:23:42

JPC

Sting is approaching the ring! Oh my God! The humanity! Sting has hit Hollywood, Hong Kong with a chair! Oh my God!

Erin

Oh God!

Adal

He's in the rafters! Can you imagine if Frodo just played the police for that giant spider?

Erin

Okay, how do I see that?

Adal

And the spider was like, you know what? Why are we fighting? Roxanne, you don't have to fill me up with your poison.

Erin

Coming next week on Zorp Outta Nowhere.

Adal

Joey Lawrence is Zorp Outta Nowhere.

Erin

And it's just a kid that shows up where he's not supposed to be. Oh, Zorp, this is the back of a funeral home. You can't be in here, buddy. Whoa, Zorp, this is the Million Man March. How'd you travel in time? Zorp is very good at impressions. It's not something he does for work or he just vocally can just do things. And he has an ear for like, not the biggest quotable lines and things. And so when he'll quote Lord of the Rings, it makes me laugh so hard because I've never heard someone do an impression of Aragorn and he does the, and I shall die as one of them. And I was like, that's exactly how he sounds. I didn't realize how much he sounds like Bane in that movie. And I shall die as one of them! Ugh, I love it. I love it.

00:25:11

JPC

Obscure Quotes. Obscure Quotes is a great game because it's like only a slim percentage of people will know what the fuck you're talking about and that's perfect.

Erin

We'll play a game while we're like walking or in the car which maybe we should maybe we can play in a patreon or something where well you name like a famous movie or IP or TV show or something and then you have to guess what the other person the quote from it that the other person picked like the thing that they quote the most. So I'd be like, second Lord of the Rings movie or like Little Mermaid or whatever, like Star Wars. And then you have to guess what the other person would quote the most from it.

???

Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys.

Erin

Yeah, I would have guessed that for you.

JPC

Future, future, also future game that we could play, maybe on a future Patreon, is we take super obscure quotes from movies up to like the quote from the movie that is the most well known and say them one at a time and the first person to buzz in with the movie name wins.

Erin

Oh, fun! Oh, I love it. Okay, we'll do that.

Adal

Almost like a Doug Loves Movies IMDb from the most obscure to the... We'll just turn this into a Doug Loves Movies podcast.

00:26:14

JPC

That's in the New Games Workshop one day.

Adal

I usually come out in the dark, but when I'm out, it's not dark. What am I?

JPC

Oh, is it like a headlight?

Adal

Very close. It is very much like a headlight.

JPC

Streetlight.

Adal

One might say a portable headlight or streetlight. Flashlight. Cell phone. It's a flashlight. Or a cell phone with a flashlight. Yes. My cell phone has my flashlight on it.

Erin

I'd like to see a scene.

JPC

My flashlight takes calls.

Erin

Uh, we are three people who are camping. Easy. And it's really dark and we're trying to figure out if it's too scary to turn a flashlight on because we don't, we're scared of what we might see.

JPC

Did you hear that? Yeah, I heard it. It sounded like, um, Like nails scratching, you know, on a chalkboard from a distance away. Did everybody else hear that as well?

Adal

Erin, Erin, wake up. There's nails outside.

Erin

There's nails outside. Oh my God.

00:27:15

JPC

Let's not, whatever we do, we're just, you know, we're psyching ourselves out. Let's not turn on another flashlight again because of what happened last time. I'm sorry. I said I'm sorry. What's not your fault? It's just that We turned it on and there was a Slender Man in here. But then we turned it off and felt around and no Slender Man.

Adal

And Erin, I just want to apologize. Your dating life is your dating life. I didn't mean to blow up your spot.

Erin

No, you guys were right to discourage me from dating him. It really blew up in my face. He's weird. He's weird, guys. He turned out weird and you were right. I'm sorry I didn't listen.

Adal

I heard him say, um, when you guys went on your first date, you split the check, but you split it 70-30. Yeah. That is weird. That is weird.

Erin

It is weird. And I was like, okay, I'm paying 70%. I'd rather pay all of it. So it feels like I took you out to dinner. I'm paying 70%.

JPC

And he also like killed a bunch of people and like, I feel like you guys know, so I'm just going to say it because I feel like you guys know me and this Slender Man have been hanging out as friends. Erin? You introduced him to us. I was doing my best to give him a chance. We click on so many levels and I have been hanging out with him as a friend. If you do not want me to hang out with him anymore. I don't want you to.

00:28:31

Erin

I don't want you to. That's a betrayal. Of what? Of how? He broke up with me. You can't hang out with him.

JPC

Now I didn't know that. Because we don't talk about you.

Erin

See that seems weird.

JPC

But I will. Guess what? Guess what? I will stop hanging out with him.

Erin

This is a power play for him. He's trying to mess with my head.

JPC

Oh, fuck you. I'm an interesting, cool person.

Erin

People love hanging out with me. That's not what I mean. You know that's not what I mean.

JPC

The way that you said it was, oh, a slender man would never find you interesting, JPC. No, I think he would. A slender man would have nothing to say to you.

Erin

I think that he's taking advantage of how kind and interesting you are.

Adal

Well, I hope that's not true. I don't want to add sort of wood to the fire, but I adopted Slender Man. You guys know I'm coaching that youth basketball team and I found out that Splenda Man is technically only 13 years old.

Erin

So this is clearly you using him. No he's not because I dated him.

Adal

No.

Erin

This is clearly you using him.

Adal

Do you know how much I have to spend on clothes? It's all custom. It's $800 a shirt. The pants, forget about it. I usually use Saran Wrap.

00:29:39

Erin

I wish we had not been lazy and we actually made the tent because there's nowhere for me to store them off to. You guys, you suck. That sucks. We're all supposed to be on the same team. That sucks. This sucks.

JPC

What sucks is how much Splenda Man swaps. Guys, what are we doing, okay? Let's focus on what this weekend is supposed to be about. We came out to the woods to bury Casey's body because we accidentally hit him so hard in the neck he spun around and just cracked in half. You're right, right. So we've been sleeping forever. Yeah, sleep into his eternal sleepo, okay? So we are here to bury Casey, okay? To die to sleepo no more. To sleepo no more. To dweem. To dweem. Perhaps. To dweem.

Adal

To dweem. Sucks how much I was laughing at Casey's funeral.

JPC

Sorry, cursor.

Adal

Should we tell everybody Casey died?

Erin

Yeah, probably.

JPC

That's why I'm so fucking confused.

Adal

Good for you, Casey. Hey Casey, good for you. I live underground and almost never move, but when I do, you feel it, and that's my fault. What am I? Tectonic plates. Tectonic plates. Tectonic plates. It is an earthquake, yep.

00:30:52

Erin

Let's dance like tectonic plates. Let's run into each other and cause confusion. What?

JPC

Good on you for knowing the science name for earthquake.

Erin

Aw, I don't think that's the science name for earthquake. I just think the tectonic plates sort of hit each other.

JPC

No, it's the science name for earthquake. It's like, you know, if you're like calling a dog like Canonicus Volpus or something like that. You're pretty smart, Erin. You're pretty smart.

Erin

You know the science words. No, I know I'm dumb.

Adal

I know I'm dumb. Tectonic plate sounds like an Imagine Dragons song. Let's do one more before break here. Everyone uses me to keep warm. I have a match. But I don't start fires. I cover you and you cover me. What am I?

Erin

Live in my house. I'll be your shelter. That's I'll Cover You from Rent.

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

Remember?

JPC

I got a match. You're facing my ass. I mean my face and your ass. No.

Erin

I mean ass to ass.

JPC

I got a match. You and me ass to ass.

00:31:52

Adal

Everyone uses me to keep warm. I have a match, but I don't start fires. I cover you and you cover me. What am I? And don't say Bachelor in Heat. Erin, what'd you say? A sock. Erin, a sock. It's socks. I would like to see a scene. They get used to keep warm, they have a match, they don't start fires, they cover you, and then you cover them with your pants, probably.

Erin

I'd like to see a scene. You guys are a pair of socks and it's been like over a year since you've seen each other. You had the classic sock displacement that will happen in a house and one of you was exclusive and waited and one of you was sort of paired up with other socks for a while.

Adal

Oh my God. Oh, oh my god, left? Right! Holy shit! Oh my god, I thought you died.

JPC

I honestly thought, because I remember that you were wearing kind of thin on the heel and I thought that you... I lost weight? I thought, yeah, a little. I took the shot? I just thought you, I thought you died.

00:33:02

Adal

I'm The big two.

JPC

Hey, how are you? It's so good to see you. Left, left, left.

Adal

It's so good to see you.

JPC

But right now, just emotionally, I can't, I can't kind of like, because I'm so, you know, this is just a lot. And I could use like kind of a moment if you don't mind. If you're going to the drawer, maybe I'll meet you in the drawer.

Adal

Oh, okay. Sorry, who is... Is this like a dress sock behind you? Who's that?

Erin

Hey baby, our reservations are at six. Are you gonna make it?

JPC

Oh, who's this? Goo Goo Gaga, yeah. It's so funny. This is a dress sock. Yeah, that's a dress. Oh my God, dress sock? This is right.

00:34:05

Adal

Hi. I've mentioned. I'm Left Snatch.

Erin

Oh yeah, you guys did. You started together. You obviously didn't end up together.

Adal

We're supposed to have three red stripes on the... Am I missing something? Am I a fucking idiot?

JPC

You did nothing wrong. Dressak... Uh, what's up, baby? Did I mention Dressak is a widow? Is a widow.

Erin

Yeah, I lost my other half, but you know, that's just what happens. Gary's a mess, man. He can't keep track of anything in this house. You know, the fact that he's wearing one dress shot sock and one regular sock to work out is bleak. That breakup really hit him like a freight train. Anyway, it's so nice to meet you, right? We should all get dinner sometime. I would love to hear about the love of my life, sex. Alright baby, I'll be waiting over here.

JPC

Okay, yes, that's... Turn around.

Adal

Do you have a hole in your heel? What's that for?

JPC

We cut to a sock lighting candles, playing in the arms of an angel, weeping, trying to hold itself.

00:35:33

Adal

Camera pans to the top of the dresser. What is that up there, brain?

Erin

And we can definitely cut that.

Adal

Well, I have to take off my socks and never wear socks again. Yeah, gross. We'll take a little break and we'll be right back.

JPC

Hey Adal and Erin, you know how I was saying that I want to stay in shape as I get older? I finally settled on this shape.

Erin

Oh, which one? Hectagon? Octagon? Circle?

JPC

Walrus? No, I'm doing normal human man. That's what I'm doing. Yeah, yes. And I love a good dad bod, but with summer starting, I've been thinking about getting into better shape, and by that I mean like normal human man shape.

00:36:46

Erin

Yeah, I'll say as

Adal

We men get up in age, our bodies start to what I call squirrelify, which means that they start to store more fat and nuts, and we lose muscle faster. The main reason for that, obviously, is testosterone. Not a pasta, it's actually a thing in your body. And most men's testosterone does sound like a pasta. They start dropping in their bodies as early as in their 30s, GPC. That's why you're feeling this.

Erin

Hey guys, can't talk long. A very crazy week. I've got about 60 seconds to hang out with you guys. I'm really on the go this time of the year.

JPC

Okay, we don't have to talk. I just want to kind of spend our minute hanging out cuddling if everyone's cool with that.

Erin

Yeah, I'll be the big spoon as per usual. You know what's been helping me so much this week guys? Having my Tempo meals. Tempo delivers fresh, chef-created, dietician-approved meals right to your door.

Adal

Well, Erin, sweetie, that's, and let me just snuggle in between here. That's the thing is, with Tempo, each meal is perfectly portioned for lunch or dinner and ready in just two minutes. That means real food, real fast, without, you know, like, sad podcast studio lunch or, like, drive-thru regret. Mm-hmm.

00:39:10

Erin

Okay, we'll try it. No matter what your goals, there's a tempo meal for you. Protein packed meals with up to 30 grams of protein, calorie conscious, and even GLP-1 based meals. I love the filet mignon with creamy mushroom sauce, 30 grams of protein, gorgeous, makes your home smell nice, cozy, cozy meal in your belly. The best.

JPC

Let me get my tiny fork and that.

Adal

Speaking of the best, even busy athletes like Maria Sharapova. Wow. Don't say a word, Maria, but thanks for coming. Dynamite smile. Even she swears by tempo for balanced meals that help them stay on top of their wellness goals. Bye, Maria. Thanks for stopping by.

Sharapova, you're snuggling us too? Don't say a word.

Erin

Don't say a word. It's really nice to see you.

00:40:12

Adal

Don't say anything.

Erin

This sweater's so hot. Why am I wearing a sweater during the summer?

Adal

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

Erin

Alright, cool vibe.

Adal

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

Erin

Oh, that sounds so nice. I love Quince.

JPC

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

Erin

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

00:41:14

Adal

Gemma got a 100% European linen fit and flair midi dress from Quince that she is obsessed with. It looks great on her. And they also have stuff for babies. So we've put little Crumpet in some beautiful, adorable little breathable summertime cotton onesies.

Erin

Oh, cute.

Adal

Erin, I'm grilling up some pants.

Erin

Yum. Wait, what?

Adal

Summer, baby.

Erin

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

JPC

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

00:42:16

Erin

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

JPC

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

Adal

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

???

Ollie.

Erin

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

00:43:31

Adal

JPC

Isn't that right, spaghetti? Yeah, that's right! Only dog food is good dog food! That's her voice? That's her voice. That's John Travolta in a dog suit. No, it's... Yeah, that's John Travolta. Look at the beret. Guys, I wish it weren't true, but it's her voice. You guys, full disclosure, because I think it's ethical for me to disclose this up top if I'm going to be engaging in the rest of this episode. During the break, I did take a Benadryl that expired in 2024. So, I'm going to be impaired during this episode. My guess is that it's going to hit me immediately. And I just want you guys to know that anything else that I say in this episode, I don't endorse.

00:44:45

Erin

And JPC, when you stay exactly the same, I want you to take this as a brutal wake-up call of how you need to change when everything stays exactly the same.

JPC

If you want a brutal wake-up call, you try waking up with a whale's head in your bed.

Erin

Adal, get the broom. Adal!

Adal

Okay, sweeping away the... Oh, you know what, Erin? I thought I grabbed a broom. I grabbed Thunderman. I am so sorry, son.

Erin

Hey, how are you? You look good. I like your tall top hat.

Adal

Oh, Erin, how are you? I forgot you guys used to... No, no, it's good to see you.

Erin

Have a good one. Oh my God, I was so embarrassed laying eyes.

JPC

I've never heard him talk. I've never heard him talk either. I technically didn't. I hope you enjoyed it.

00:45:49

Adal

Splenda Man's a real- Splenda Man? Splenda Man. Oh, please.

JPC

Splenda Man's a real riddle, but we have to- It's free, Splenda. Splenda, it's free. You can use Splenda Man. You can sell your fake sugar or whatever with him.

Adal

Sweet and loamin'. I have a toilet, a shower, and a sink, but I am not a bathroom. What am I? Boat. Okay. You're saying a bathroom on a boat? No. I'm Ooh.

Erin

Uh, no, but... I love that the labs that have a toilet right in the middle so all the scientists can watch each other.

JPC

What is a toilet? You know, hole in the ground. Basically, hole in the ground connected to some pipes. You can pee anywhere. You can pee in anything. That's a toilet. What is a shower? Hole in the ceiling. You know?

00:46:55

Erin

What is a sink? Okay, I'm gonna airlift your wife out of your house. We gotta get her out of there.

JPC

Airlift.

Erin

I'm sending a helicopter today. An Uber would suffice.

JPC

An Uber would be fine.

Erin

No, no. We gotta get her out of there.

JPC

A toilet, a sink, and a shower. And a shower.

Adal

But I'm not a bathroom. What am I?

JPC

I gotta say.

Erin

The top of my car, according to birds,

JPC

I was really hoping that an expired Benadryl was going to give me Riddle superpowers. Time's feeling slower, I'll tell you that much. That part's definitely happening, but the part where I'm really good at sussing out the answer to Riddle's is not really kicking in.

Erin

Oh, JPC, can you do earmuffs really quick? Just cover your ears. Adal and I just have quick business and... Sure, I can.

JPC

Let's just plug these up.

Erin

Adal, this is a really good opportunity to gaslight the shit out of JPC. Make him feel like he's going crazy. Should we just talk in nonsense words the rest of the episode? Talk real slow? What do you think we should do?

00:48:08

Adal

Let's tell him that he is actually J.P. Riddles and that J.P.C. is a character that J.P. Riddles plays.

Erin

Love it. Okay, perfect.

Adal

Okay, you can take earmuffs off.

JPC

Guys, I heard Splenda Man. For the first time, I heard the voice. It's so pleasant.

Erin

It's because you could focus. Yeah, it's so pleasant. J.P.C., we were just talking about how we're going to buy you a really nice gift, so expect that any day now. Erin, no.

???

I panicked.

JPC

Now, you guys know that my love language is not giving and receiving gifts. My love language is, um, lick, lick, lick, lick you from your head to your toes. So, I expect my gift to be very wink wet.

Adal

Wink wet? The game show host?

JPC

And it's me, WinkWet! Yay. Let's play the $54 diamond.

00:49:21

Erin

It's Benadryl JPC. Everyone's favorite kind of JPC. Benadryl JPC robs banks. Benadryl JPC is not suitable for children. Benadryl JPC is a weird kind of guy.

JPC

It's me, WinkWet, reminding you to have all of your pets stuffed and mounted.

Adal

In that order?

Erin

Wait till they die! Wait till they die!

Adal

Now, I've heard rumor that the $54 diamond is the most profitable game show in game show history because the payout is $54 and not everyone wins. And they've never paid out the top prize.

JPC

They've never paid out the top prize in the history of the show.

Adal

Do you think there's ever been a game show where the contestants, like, are in the hole? I guess with flights and stuff, if people, like, fly to LA to be on Price is Right or something.

Erin

Oh, yeah.

Adal

I just know I've heard, not horror stories, but inconvenient stories of people being on, like, Price is Right, and it's like, oh, they want a car, but then if they want to keep it, they have to pay taxes and ship it, whatever it might be. Like, it just sounds like a whole logistical nightmare.

00:50:28

JPC

Ken Jennings taking you into the back room and it's like, so you have 48 hours to come up with our money.

Adal

A hammer? You're breaking your own fingers.

Erin

Ken, Ken, let's just calm down. Let's just slow down.

Adal

I was roommates with Brandon Sanderson.

Erin

I know, Ken. I know. You went to BYU together. I know. Let's just be civil.

Adal

Why hasn't he written me into the books?

Erin

Why am I not in the Cosmere?

JPC

Didn't frame it. You have to put it as a question. Why am I breaking my own fingers? What the fuck am I doing?

Adal

Why was I roommates in college with Brandon Sanderson? I have a toilet, a shower, and a sink, but I am not a bathroom.

Erin

Oh my god, I fucking forgot we're in the middle of this.

JPC

Can we have a hint, Adal? Toilet, shower, sink.

Adal

So think about where a toilet, a shower, and a sink might be, but maybe they're not all next to each other.

JPC

A toilet, and a shower, and a sink, but it's not a bathroom, and they're all not next to each other?

Erin

Oh, is it like a Lowe's? Like a store?

Adal

It's a hardware store. It's like a Lowe's or like a store.

00:51:30

Erin

I would like to see a scene. JPC, you're a guy who just went to the bathroom in a toilet in a hardware store, and Adal, you're the employee.

Adal

Are we playing characters?

Erin

Uh, yeah, let's go ahead and play characters.

JPC

Um, hi, I'd like to buy this toilet. Hi, excuse me, I'd like to buy this toilet.

Adal

Oh, uh, oh my god, oh my god.

JPC

Oh my god. Uh, sir, can you- I'd like to buy this toilet. I'll pay, I'll pay cash and I'll take it out myself.

Adal

Can you flush? Wait, don't. I actually don't. Um, that's on the floor now.

JPC

Um- Hey man, don't make a big scene. I'd just like to buy this toilet right now and I'd like to take it out of the store right now. Don't make a big scene. Hey man.

Adal

You can shit in our display toilet.

JPC

How about a little grace for someone who's obviously going through something?

Adal

Oh, mother of God.

JPC

Do they not teach you empathy?

Adal

Actually, we do. We take a three-month training course in Sarasota every year for empathy. That's why we shut down. That's why we shut down for three months every year is so that we can be as empathetic as possible.

JPC

I love Christian businesses. I love Christian businesses. I love businesses that are run on Christian values.

00:52:30

Adal

We are not a Christian business, sir.

???

Sure.

Adal

Wink wet. Wink wet. Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, and I do need to, well I was going to say I need to take a picture so we can keep it behind the registers so as not to allow you back in, but I don't want to take a picture of you with your current situation.

JPC

My current situation? Yeah, so I'm just going to draw you. What, you've never seen a naked man violently ill? You've never seen a naked man violently ill?

Adal

Sir, I've seen myself in the mirror after an old country buffet, so.

JPC

Wow, that empathy course really is doing something. See? That's three months. That's three months of it. Okay, fine.

Adal

There but for the grace of God, go I. And I know what you're thinking. There but for the grace of God, Christian. But we're not a Christian business. Wink, wet. Of course. Wink, wet.

JPC

Look, I apologize for what I did. Obviously, I need to be coming back here, okay? This is the only place that sells the refrigerators I like. And I go through those things, wear and tear.

00:53:31

Adal

What are you doing that you're going through refrigerators?

JPC

I'm yanking the fucking doors off the things. I'm so hungry.

Erin

Excuse me, I have to buy this chandelier. I would like to buy this chandelier. I would like to buy this chandelier. Please just point me in the direction of how I buy this chandelier, please.

Adal

Oh my God. My God.

Erin

I'm your wife. We have horrible food poisoning. I don't know why you wanted to run this errand today. Can I please buy this chandelier? My husband would like to buy this toilet, please.

JPC

We keep getting food poisoning because my goddamn refrigerators are ruined. I keep yanking the doors off the damn things. And the food goes bad immediately.

Adal

It goes bad immediately. Oh, wait a minute. I know you. You have that YouTube channel where you eat spoiled food.

JPC

No, that's not the point of the channel. The point of the... We're urban foragers. Like, I caught a whole wolf. And I salted it. And I put it in the fridge. And it went a little bit bad. Okay? But it's not a spoiled food YouTube channel.

Erin

The point of the YouTube channel is to have fun and make friends. And eat spoiled food.

00:54:35

JPC

We're swingers. We are swingers. We can catch wink wet. Oh, chandelier. I get it. We're naked.

Erin

We're sick. We're trying to buy this toilet and this chandelier. Thank you.

Adal

Can you say that again? We're naked. We're sick. We're trying to buy this chandelier. Sorry, I didn't know you sing a Slipknot. I want to write this down. We're naked. We're wet.

JPC

And we couldn't help. We're sick. We saw you from across the store. We loved your vibe.

Adal

I have a cold sweat. I'll just call it the sickness.

JPC

Is that us?

Adal

That's disturbed.

JPC

I think it is disturbed.

Adal

That's disturbed.

JPC

I couldn't tell you a Slipknot song. Um... I bet Casey knows a Slipknot song. Casey strikes me as the type of guy who maybe listened to a little bit of Slipknot back in the day. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Nope, sorry, LOL.

???

Nope, sorry.

JPC

Creed? Wow, Casey, don't let anyone from Toledo hear you say that shit. Weezer. Man, after my own heart. Casey, have you heard the new Weezer track? New album coming? No, I haven't yet. New album coming, Casey? It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

00:55:42

Adal

Casey, you're supposed to be dead.

JPC

So when we talk about, now Slipknot is like 12 men from Iowa and they're all wearing heavy latex, right? Sure, yeah. I don't know anything about them. Is that the vibe?

Adal

I think they're from Iowa. I think there's a bunch of them. I think their drummer's supposed to be like a world-class drummer. Here's the thing, with like Guar, with Slipknot, I assume with others, I'm hot recording in this studio right now, and I'm wearing half a shirt and rolled up pants. If you're performing on stage for two hours in Guar costumes or like Slipknot masks, aren't you like losing 80 pounds a night?

JPC

Yeah, you must be sweating buckets under all that shit.

Adal

How do they then wear those suits the next day?

Erin

Is that someone's job? Someone's there with a blow-dryer going, fucking, fucking hate my life. I love this music, but I fucking hate my life. I do not feel worth it if it's soaking wet.

00:56:51

Adal

A fan of the band three years ago said I do anything. God damn it.

JPC

If you've ever been camping for a few days, you're just like, this is it. What I am is the vibe, you know? It's like, hey everybody, we're all on the same page here when we're camping. If you're in guar or slipknot, I think everybody's on the same page. Everybody's gonna be like, nobody bring it up. We all know what's happening.

Adal

For a minute there when you said, if you, I thought you were gonna do, you might be a slipknot. If you wear a clown mask on stage... Alright, let's do another riddle here. I'm a tank, but I never go to war. Yet I'm always bloody. Thomas the Tank Engine.

JPC

Hold on, I didn't hear the second part. Hold on, I didn't hear the second part. I shot it with something.

Erin

Thomas the Tank Engine.

Adal

I chewed the train that sneezes. So much happened.

Erin

Thomas the Tank Engine.

Adal

I want to see a scene.

Erin

Chew, chew, chew, chew, the train that sneezes. We're all doing three different things at once.

JPC

Erin, I want to see a scene. You are Thomas the Tank Engine, and you just hit a person who was crossing the tracks, and they are dead. They're very dead. Great.

00:58:00

Erin

Fuck, man. Let me in, let me in, let me in. Man, fucking let me in.

Adal

Welcome to the station, Thomas.

Erin

What the fuck? Fuck me.

Adal

Fuck. Oh no.

Erin

I'm so fucking fucked. Oh my god.

Adal

Thomas, is that raspberry jam? Shut the fuck up.

???

Look at me. Shut the fuck up.

Adal

What did you do?

Erin

I didn't do anything. I can't stop. Oh man, I feel fucking awesome.

Adal

I feel there's so much adrenaline in my body. You feel awesome?

Erin

Fuck. Fuck. Okay, I'm fucked. I need you to get a hose.

Adal

Thomas, you're rock hard. What are you doing?

Erin

Yeah, get a hose, Mr. Station. Come on.

Adal

Okay.

Erin

Holy fuck. I feel like I could fucking climb a mountain. Jeez.

Adal

Thomas, I'm scared. I don't like what I'm seeing.

Erin

I feel like a little engine that can fuck. I can just go and I just want to- A little engine that could- I just want to kiss someone right now. Holy shit. I'm alive, man. We're both alive, man.

Adal

Thomas, please, I need you to get this cargo over to Milwaukee.

Erin

Cargo, Milwaukee? You think I'm gonna be the most alive I've ever felt and I'm going to Milwaukee? Fuck you, fuck that, I'm going to Vegas right fucking now, man.

00:59:03

Adal

Thomas, Thomas, no, come back!

Erin

Tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-tug-a-Vegas!

???

21!

Erin

Yeah, hit me. 22! Hit me!

???

23!

Erin

Okay, where's that, uh, where's that bitch with the martini? Send her back over here. Ow! My ass! Yeah, that's what I thought.

JPC

Can I get another martini to Thomas the Spank Engine over here?

Erin

I like that. I like that kind of joke. That's my joke now. I made that joke.

JPC

No, it's my joke. I'm Bradley Dangerfield.

Erin

Someone take care of this guy.

JPC

Hey, what's the big idea? Oh, I get no respect!

Adal

Wakes up in bed in between Penn and Teller. That was magic.

Erin

Yeah, it's not going to happen again, though. Don't fall in love with me, fellas. Not even you, quiet one.

Adal

Thomas in the bathroom, snorting low.

Erin

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, choo. I'm going to hit the buffet. I'm going to get crab legs. I'm going to go to the buffet and I'm going to get crab legs because you only live once and they're coming to get me. I just fucking know it.

01:00:06

Adal

Thomas Front Row at Magic Mike.

JPC

Before we melt this train down into hard slag, do you have anything to say to the people of Happytime Junction?

Erin

I want to say fuck you, fuck all y'all. That was the best week of my life. It was 40 minutes. What?

Adal

What? I'm a tank but I never go to war, yet I'm always bloody. What am I?

JPC

I was trying to say Thomas the Crank Engine, and I was like, where can I work in Thomas the Crank Engine? And then Erin slapped that witcher's ass, and it just fit together so naturally.

Adal

I think my favorite part of that scene was you smacking the witcher's ass, and I as the witcher said, oh my ass, and Erin, you said, that's what I thought.

Erin

Yeah, I was trying to guess where your ass was and I guessed right.

01:01:08

Adal

Yeah, that's what I thought. Oh, I guess you're a train, yeah?

Erin

I don't know about asses. I'm a train. I have a caboose.

???

You're dead. I have a question about your riddle.

Erin

Yeah. The tank, is it some sort of like medical tank? Like what? It's like a tank that holds... A bacta tank. Yeah.

JPC

Not a fish tank? You say what tank? Like what is like a tank?

Erin

A bacta tank. Oh, go ahead.

JPC

The bacta tank is the tank that Luke Skywalker was in on Hoth.

Adal

Welcome to And Sebulba, I'm a tank but I never go to war, yet I'm always bloody, what am I? You're right to think whoever, Erin I think you maybe said medical tank? Was that you?

JPC

It's right to think along those lines where it's not... Is this tank Dozer's brother at the end of the Matrix after he gets absolutely shredded by that energy weapon?

01:02:17

Adal

JBC?

JPC

When I wake up tomorrow and I feel shittier than I do today, I'm gonna be like, What did I do yesterday that could possibly have worn me out in a way that made me... I'm honestly the dumbest bitch in school.

Erin

And that was your superlative, I think.

JPC

Yes, it was.

Adal

I'm a tank but I never go to war, yet I'm always bloody. What am I? Now think around- Medical tank was right. Medical tank was not correct, but along those lines of like it's not a military tank.

JPC

And it's not a toilet tank because that's disgusting.

Adal

That's disgusting. I would say think along the lines of like this is something- Ooh, is this a piranha tank? JBC, it is a fish tank full of piranhas.

01:03:26

JPC

Is it really?

Adal

It is. Wow, Benadryl paid off. Two year expired Benadryl paid off. Okay. Instead of any more riddles, why don't we do this? Why don't we have you, the listeners, riddle us with a voicemail? Casey, can you play us a voicemail?

???

Yay! What's the deal with voicemail? Is it a voice or is it a mail? And where do they come from? Tiny people inside the phone? Who are these people? Oh no.

???

I love it. I love the oh no I love it.

Adal

Oh, that's so weird. It was just dead air. JPC, what'd you hear?

01:04:29

JPC

Nothing, yeah, I heard nothing. It was just the Splenda Man whispering his little secrets into my brain again.

Adal

That was incredible. That was from Chris Finke?

JPC

Yeah, Chris Finke said, listening to 100 isolated clips of the three of you laughing could make even the grumpy old men crack a smile. And he capitalized the grumpy old men as is proper to do.

Adal

Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau. And it sounds like that was called, Hey Giggle Giggle. Thank you so much, Chris Finke. That was outstanding. Let's hear a voicemail.

???

Hi Erin, Adal, and JPC. My name is Lily. I'm going to be headed to New Zealand in a few months, and I'm very excited so much so that I kind of feel like I don't really want to return to the U.S. So if you guys could move to another country, which country would it be? Okay. Have a good one. Bye.

Adal

Lily, thank you so much. Erin, did you go to New Zealand when you were in Australia? I did.

Erin

I loved it so much. That would probably be my number one choice. The South Island in New Zealand is so beautiful and the energy is so good. That or Denmark, I think.

01:05:40

JPC

Isn't New Zealand the place that all the billionaires are also, like, buying?

Erin

Yeah, which is so crazy because it's, like, so frustrating that I'm like, oh, you love it there because it's, like, socialism.

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

And they, like, take care of the environment. It's just so fucking annoying.

JPC

A climate refuge? I think I would go to New Zealand and be like, go there as a billionaire hunter. Just, you know? The West Coast of Ireland is unbelievable.

Adal

I would say either Japan, which is just incredible, or Iceland if I'm looking for more of a, I mean two wildly different, the bookends of like population. But yeah, those would be my two.

JPC

Anywhere outside of the U.S. I would go Nebraska or Rhode Island.

01:06:42

Erin

Benadryl, Benadryl. APC's on Benadryl.

JPC

Oh, Nebraska Island time. Summer in Nebraska and then like winter in Rhode Island. Oh, sure. Yeah, for sure. For sure. That's the way to do it. That's the way to do it.

Adal

Well, Lily, I hope that helped. Have a wonderful time on your trip, unless you already took it. And then fuck your time.

JPC

If it's already spent, you waste it.

Erin

Okay, Mr. Benadryl, time to lay down.

JPC

Oh, thank God.

Erin

Adal, anything to plug?

Adal

Yeah, I want to plug taking medication that's not expired, of course. Also check out Gumshoes and Dragons, a podcast that the three of us do with the wonderful Anthony Burch. It's a rollicking good time. Erin, anything to plug or promote?

Erin

Yes, check out Quality Time on Instagram. And if you're in LA, I would love if you dropped in to see one of our shows. TPC, do you want to read a review or talk about your little Benadryl in your head?

01:07:42

JPC

I would love to read a review. This is a five-star review sent to us by Stobbert87. This review is titled, FART! Never mind, I, JPC, decided not to read a five-star review. Instead, I wanted to say something that's been on my mind recently. Fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, fart, Part of Chris. I'm part of Chris. Fart, bitch! Get out the fart!

Adal

I've got farts in different areas, ghost.

???

I've learned a Jackass movie has to be really 90 minutes.

???

Every minute over is a minute too long. Apparently there's only so much butthole you can take. We're going to take you behind the scenes of our entire history. All the best bits, bad behavior, and even worse decisions. All of it. Sometimes we don't make the right decisions, Jeff. I've noticed that. Every so often. With guests like Spike Jones. I think let's commit to Jackass the podcast.

01:09:51

JPC

What was it going to be called?

???

The Jackass Podcast. The Jackass Podcast.

???

Without you, the IQ drops significantly.

???

It's a strong chance that were it not for Jackass that I would be in clown makeup right this fucking minute.

???

That shot of your butt just cruising up.

???

I'm like, I got that on TV. God bless us. Dave Englund, Wee Man, and some of the crew that's been with us from the beginning.

???

Hi, I am Mandy Moore.

???

Sterling K. Brown. And I'm Chris Sullivan, and we host the podcast That Was Us, now on HeadGum.

???

Each episode, we're going to go into a deep dive from our show, This Is Us. That's right. We're going to go episode by episode. We're also going to pepper in episodes with different guest stars and writers and casting directors.

???

Are we going to cry?

???

Yes. A little bit. Often. A lot. A whole lot. That's what I'm hoping, man. Listen to That Was Us on your favorite podcast app or watch full video episodes on YouTube or Spotify. New episodes every Tuesday.
