\subsection{\emph{Kepler} Light Curves}  The \emph{Kepler} satellite \citep{bor10} provided nearly four years of continuous monitoring of a number of stars as it searched for exoplanets. In addition to successes in planet-hunting, \emph{Kepler} is incredibly useful for both red giant asteroseismology and studies of eclipsing binaries. The $\sim 30$ minute long-cadence observations are well-suited for giant asteroseismology, as solar-type stars oscillate too rapidly to be seen. Consistent target monitoring over several years has further allowed \emph{Kepler} to discover numerous long-period eclipsing systems.  \citet{gau13} realized the opportunity presented by two \emph{Kepler} catalogs: one containing of over 13,000 red giants\footnote{\url{http://archive.stsci.edu/kepler/red_giant_release.html}} and another with more than 2,500 eclipsing binaries \citep{prs11,sla11,mat12}. Most recently, the eclipsing binary catalog has been updated by \citet{con14}. When the two catalogs were cross-correlated and false positives were removed, \citet{gau13} found 13 strong candidate RG/EBs, of which 12 were previously unknown. \citet{gau14} has updated this list to 15 and completed a preliminary asteroseismic analysis of the systems. Key results are shown in Table \ref{maintable}, \ref{tab:maintable},  along with four non-oscillating RG/EBs.
