This is a head gum podcast.

Welcome, welcome guardians of the galaxy. Thank you so much for responding to our planet's call. You are surely here to save us all.

Sorry, sorry, I got some fleas. Let me just scratch behind my ear. I'm a literal animal here. Sorry, this is Adel. This is Adel.

Aaron. Aaron. Aaron. And I'm Aaron. And that's all she can say.

That's all she can say. Hey, Riddle, Riddle crew instead of the guardians. All she can say is this is Adel. Wait, wait, hold on. Hold on now. I want to get this clear.

You're the guardians of the galaxy. The one we are a riddle, a podcast and they were unavailable. So they sent us instead. This is Adel.

He has any snacks. That's Adel. I worms. I'm a cherry. Wait, yes. So wait. No, yeah, because it looks like because you keep saying this is Adel. You look like you're a, I don't want to say like one and a half

or raccoon. Yeah, something else. But you look like a big tree. Yeah. But you're not the guardians of the galaxy. No, no, don't forget our third companion.

Who? Yeah, who's this guy? This one seems to be just on his phone. What's going on with this? He's bored. And that's JPC. I'm sorry. JPC. We're saving a planet. Do you want to join us? We're here. We're at the job. Yeah, we're here.

We're here. Okay. Yeah. I have these fucking douchebags shown up yet or when we talk to the households.

The Shah da da da da. I'm right there. Oh, excuse me. He's joking. This is all I'm hearing. Really? He's here's he's three things on his phone joking and politically aligned with Chris Pratt.

I mean, I don't know. You can't just tell people someone is scared of the matter. It doesn't read that way. I just want to say that much.

I like it. I mostly like it. Yeah, you're a fucking tree. Shut up. All right. Well, what do you need? I'm talking to my agent.

Sorry. Ignore JPC. Ignore Adam. No, no, no. That I actually get the business. Oh boy. We have the industry here as well.

Don't forget about me. Johnny Warlock. He magic. He magic. This is Johnny Warlock. He's a town crazy person. He works out the planet with me.

Okay. Well, what can we do to help? We can solve riddles like 30% of the time. We can be the worst. What else? What else came up? No, no, we have a planetary crisis.

What did I get a date? Cause I don't think I'm good enough. Okay, everyone back on the spaceship. No, please. Look at my profile. Try to help. No, bye. No, no, no. Get back on JPC. Come on. My agent. My agent says we don't get paid unless we help the guy. Get the day. You have an agent. I think he's aging.

That means nothing. That's not all right. Welcome. Welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle. A podcast where you decide if that sounds like a good guardian of the galaxy movie. Now there's a writer's strikeout right now. So there are no bad ideas. We might scam. We might cross the pickup line. Pick up one. Do I have to be a raccoon the whole episode? Let's see. Please say no. Please. Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you. You don't have to. You're free. Pew. But Aaron is going to be a true.

He's a free that talks just like normal. Yeah, the whole episode. Sort of for M.O. This was an expensive costume. And I will wear it the entire episode. All right. I got a big question. Yeah. What do we think of the Bethes writer strike? Are we all? I mean, I'm against the writers. Of course, I'm with the bosses. I'm with the studios. Here's a thing. That's their money. These grubby little writers want that studio money. No, thanks. I'd say a couple hundred more million a year for these fellas. These guys.

Creative fellas with all that money. Here's what I'll say. I think I have friends who are in the WGA. I feel for them. This is a tough time. I want to support them. But here's the thing. We all laughed in the fucking face of Quibi. We all thought not for me. Yeah. And so Quibi sunk. We cracked open the earth and we shoved it down deep into the core into the molten. The molten metal and it's. See, look back up.

Never to be seen again. So I feel like we as a collective have brought this on ourselves because yeah, COVID killed Quibi. COVID killed Quibi. That was not the consumer. We would have embraced Quibi. If we had needed Quibi. Everyone was ready for short bites. Everyone was ready for 15 second TV shows. Look at what TikTok is. Quibi could have been huge. Wait, short. That's that'd be showby without writing. I feel like for the next year we're going to get a show.

Shit ton of horrible reality TV shows. So if we want to do. I mean, but we want to pitch a reality TV show. The three of us. I feel like now's the time. What are we going to do? The only reason that I'm mentioning it is just so all of our fans know. Look, we support the writers. We support the writers on strike. We are not affiliated with the WGA, but all of our writers for Hey, where the rental are. And so the show is going to get way worse for a little bit. As for the whole. The openings are all scripted. That open.
