This is a HeadGum Podcast.
Adal
Come for the riddles, stay for the answers to the riddles. It's Hey Riddle Riddle. I'm Adal Rifai.
JPC
I'm Jay PC.
Erin
And I'm Erin Keif.
Adal
I like that one, Adal. That was pretty good. Yeah. And I'm going to be playing the role of Old Man Puzzles. And actually something I want to bring up right away, Erin, a few episodes ago you were saying that our target demographic was, I don't know if you remember this, you said our target demo was cats who dress like humans.
00:01:03
Erin
Who decided to go to work.
Adal
Who decided to join the workforce. So I was thinking over the past week that maybe, and I'm just pitching this, we don't have to do it, I thought maybe our mascot for the show could be Riddikitty.
Erin
Is it a cat in human clothes?
Adal
It's a cat in human clothes who joined the workforce, who listens to our show. That's our mascot, Ritty Kitty.
Erin
Ritty Kitty. I like it, especially if the cat is commuting to work with little kitty headphones in and is holding on to a thing on the train, just listening to Hey Riddle Riddle.
Adal
And all of that is dependent on whether or not you enjoy it? It has to be holding on? Yeah, it has to be holding on. It has to be stabilizing itself?
JPC
That's how you stabilize on a train. What if it's not stabilizing?
Adal
What if the cat's sitting down on the train?
Erin
I don't like it.
JPC
Okay, so I like Riddy Kitty. I'm going to throw an alternate pitch out there. It's Kid Riddles. It's not Kittles? It's not Kittles. It's Kid Riddles. Kid Riddles is a cool backwards hat-wearing skateboarding teen who also happens to be a cat dressing up as a boy so he could go to school and learn how.
00:02:06
Adal
Standing in front of a girl asking her for a fuzzy.
Erin
I think someone out there, draw both, and then we'll do... Can you do voting stuff on Twitter?
JPC
I don't know what it is. No, they took voting away. I don't get it.
Erin
Okay, well... Cuz Trump.
???
Okay, well, uh-oh.
Erin
Cuz Trump. You can vote on Instagram. Follow our Instagram, heyriddleriddle, is that it?
Adal
Yes.
Erin
And then we'll put both images up, and then you can decide our mascot.
JPC
It's Riddy Kiddy.
Erin
I don't know, because JPC said something else.
JPC
I don't know, Kid Riddles is pretty cool. I think it's Riddy Kiddy. I think a lot of people are really into Kid Riddles.
Erin
Well, we'll see.
JPC
He solves mysteries. He solves murders.
Adal
JPC, what percentage of America's youth do you think is going to dress up as Kid Riddles this Halloween?
JPC
69, my man. Fortnite dab.
Adal
Let's go ahead and get started. So I'm gonna do some quick lightning round puzzies. This is just to warm up your brain juices. Okay. And here we go. Where can you finish a book before you finish a sentence?
00:03:18
JPC
Where can you finish a book before you finish a sentence? Finland.
Erin
It's the last page.
Adal
I was just talking to someone the other day who said... Brag. I was talking to someone the other day who's from Copenhagen and they said that the prince of Denmark, whenever he goes out to eat... Is that like the artist prince of Denmark? Yeah. There's a musician in Denmark who is their prince. Five foot tall and sexual. Thank you for clarifying sexual or non-sexual. But they're saying that the Prince of Denmark, whenever he goes out to eat, when a waiter comes up and says, like, are you finished? He'll say, no, I'm Danish. So just know that you're as funny as the Prince of Denmark.
JPC
We finish each other's smorgasbords. Where can you finish a book before you finish a sentence?
Adal
That was what I said.
Erin
Anywhere.
Adal
That's correct. No, come on. Where can you finish a book before you finish a sentence?
00:04:18
JPC
A book. What is another thing that a book can be besides like a novel?
Adal
I think you have to focus on the other word.
JPC
Sentence? Finish?
Adal
Oh, prison. Or jail. In prison or jail, you can finish a book before you finish a sentence. Do you know the difference between prison and jail?
JPC
Yes, I do.
Erin
I've been in both.
JPC
That's the difference? The difference is you've been in both?
Erin
I've been in both.
JPC
Do you know the difference between prison and jail?
Erin
I do.
JPC
Jail has seeds. That's an inside joke.
Adal
You know the difference between a graveyard and a cemetery? What loses its head in the morning and gets it back at night? What loses its head in the morning and gets it back at night? What loses its head in the morning and gets it back at night?
Erin
It's like a cat, like a hat. No, like the head. Okay, hold on.
00:05:21
Adal
Okay, hold on. I'm sorry, Erin. No, don't. It's too early.
Erin
It's too early for a dead stop. Too early for a dead stop. I haven't had my coffee yet. It's too early for a dead stop.
JPC
Too early for coffee. Can we get a mug that says, don't talk to me until I've had my dead stop? With Erin Keif's face on it.
Adal
Don't talk to me until I've had my fuzzies and rooties. Hashtag kid rules.
Erin
Okay. All right.
Adal
What loses its head in the morning and gets it back at night. Remember these are warm-up riddles.
JPC
Okay, now I know that this is wrong and I know I'm gonna catch flack on the internet, but is it my freaking wife? What loses its head in the morning and gets it back at night. Mm-hmm. Oh the headboard of a bed.
Adal
You're very hot.
JPC
Is it hot? What loses its head?
Adal
Mm-hmm.
Erin
Pillow.
JPC
That's what it is. Well, well, well, well, well, well. Location, location, location.
Adal
Let's do one more.
JPC
Okay, one more. And this will get my brain working.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
So far it has not been. Here we go. I sit in a corner and travel around the world. What am I?
00:06:26
JPC
A hot air balloon. Oh, I know this one.
Erin
A globe.
Adal
It's a globe. I sit in a corner and travel around the world. Is it a globe? What am I? It's not a globe. What was it? The Internet?
JPC
The Internet. I sit in a corner and travel around the world. Is it a prison as well?
Erin
Riddikitty says... That meow stinks! I think all of the listeners can agree that I should be the voice of Riddikitty and not that terrifying person.
JPC
Okay, let's try it out. We need a line that we can all try out as Riddikitty. That's perfect! Okay, good. Okay, that's perfect. Now do you want to try it as Riddikitty and not your voice, Adal?
Adal
I do, but I also want to say when it gets around to you, we better not fucking hear It's a Living.
JPC
Okay, cool. Pooch the joke.
Adal
Okay, so we're going to say It's Perfect. Here's my audition for Rudy Kitty.
Sandy
It's perfect.
Adal
Okay, Erin.
00:07:27
Sandy
It's perfect.
JPC
Wait, I want to redo mine.
Erin
No, I want to redo mine.
JPC
No, I want to do mine. This is Alan Alda. It's perfect.
Erin
It's purrrfect.
Adal
Wait, Riddikitty, come over here. Let me unzip this gown and all this. No, I want to do my Riddikitty. With a backwards hat and a skateboard.
JPC
Erin's still trying to do Riddikitty.
Erin
Why, it's purrrfect.
Adal
Very Dickensian. Yes. It's purrrfect.
Sandy
Meow. It's purrfect.
Adal
It should sound like Snarf from Thundercats, right?
JPC
It sits in a corner of a room and travels across the world.
Adal
I sit in a corner and travel around the world. You added room. It doesn't sit in a corner of a room.
Erin
Everything.
Adal
Corner of a universe. Earth. I sit in a corner and I travel around the world. If you gave me that answer on a sheet of paper, I would do this, poomph, and it would say incorrect, with ink. I would do that. You have a stamp that says incorrect? Wait, what do I have? A stamp. A passport. You're correct.
00:08:29
Erin
Sits in a corner.
Adal
Nope, it's a stamp. I sit in a corner and travel around the world, it's a stamp.
Erin
JPC looks curious. JPC looks like he's about to fight Adal.
Adal
That brings us to our segment.
JPC
Closest I've ever come.
Adal
Our segment we're doing for the first time. How's everybody doing?
JPC
Are we okay? Are we cool? Yeah, we needed to introduce this segment a long time ago. Real quick, are we cool? Yeah, I think we're all cool.
Erin
I think we're cool. I think you two are not cool. JPC looked mad about that.
JPC
I was mad about you, in that I couldn't... That you got a Paul Reiser tattoo? Yeah, and that I couldn't figure that out, because that's very clever, and it did get my brain warmed up. So I think it accomplished its stated objective.
Adal
Oh, good. Riddy Kiddy, what do you have to say?
Erin
It's just fine.
JPC
Erin just gave me the finger. What was that about? No, that was Riddikitty.
Erin
That was Riddikitty.
Adal
Let's get into the main flow.
Erin
I haven't found Riddikitty's voice. You listeners are hearing me workshop it.
Adal
Can we vote for that on Periscope?
00:09:30
Erin
No, you can't. Because of Trump, there's no more voting. I'm Calico.
Adal
Is that Kid Riddles? It's Kid Riddles. My name is Kid Riddles. Let's say on Periscope we're gonna hold an hour-long audition yes for what Rudy Kitty's gonna sound like but we don't have a Periscope account yet and I'm happy to commit to things that I'll never do Here we go. We've been playing in rivers and streams that we're used to. Now we're going to dump it into the ocean. This is the big leagues. Here we go. Yeah, big leagues and ocean. You know sports. Kevin was bragging about his church's baseball team. He said, three of our players hit home runs, and two of those home runs were hit with the bases loaded. Our guys won 9-0, and not a single man crossed home plate. How is this possible?
Erin
The men that crossed home plate were married?
Adal
That's correct. No way. Is that really correct? They were all married.
00:10:32
Erin
Oh, I said that to be a jerk.
Adal
So the team won nine to zero, meaning they scored nine runs, but not a single man crossed the plate because they were all married.
JPC
I was going to say they were all women because women can play baseball too.
Erin
You know what?
JPC
A league of their own? No. A league of their own. A league of them both.
Erin
I just, I was half listening and I picked out one word.
JPC
Can you repeat that first part? The only word that Erin ever picks out.
Erin
There's church and there's baseball. And then single people, they're married.
JPC
Erin walks in a room and clocks wedding rings. That's the one thing that she picks out.
Erin
I'm trying to marry for money. If you already have a ring.
JPC
Unless it's a nice ring. You own a motorboat? Yeah.
Erin
And in which case, hello, I'm your third wife.
Adal
Hello, third wife. If you like it, then you should put another ring on it. Yeah. They say most people, they say that you notice someone's shoes first. No, no, no. Someone's ring.
JPC
Yeah. I always, I always notice shoes first, hair last.
Erin
I'm trying to be married by the end of the sentence.
00:11:33
Adal
We should say that Erin's Skyping in from prison.
Erin
From jail.
Adal
From jail. I'm so sorry.
Erin
What was your crime again? Being too perfect.
JPC
I sentence you to being too perfect.
Adal
Here we go. Professor Kevin was giving a lecture on the life of aristocrats in the 19th century. It was during a large festive gathering of nobility, began Kevin, when a fairly common occurrence took place. The queen suddenly attacked and killed the king. The crowd watched the entire scene and then casually continued their party. In what situation in the 19th century would a crowd be so casual about the queen killing the king?
Erin
Did you say 17th century?
Adal
19th century. And it makes all the difference.
JPC
Yes, it does. So I think that I have an answer.
Adal
How are these so easy for you two? And yet my warm up riddles were so hard.
JPC
You warmed us up, dumbass, if you didn't want us to be warm. It's my own fault. Okay, so the crowd watched the Queen murder the King. Yep. Does it say what country this takes place in?
00:12:42
Adal
It does not. Damn.
JPC
Can you read the riddle one more time?
Adal
We'll say it's Denmark. Gotcha.
Erin
Is it a play?
JPC
That's what I was going to say.
Adal
Professor Kevin was giving a lecture on the life of aristocrats in the 19th century. It was during a large festive gathering of nobility, began Kevin, when a fairly common occurrence took place. The queen suddenly attacked and killed the king. The crowd watched the entire scene and then casually continued their party. In what situation in the 19th century would a crowd be so casual about the queen killing the king?
JPC
Yeah, my guess is they were watching like a play.
Erin
They're watching a beehive.
Adal
Nope, it was during Coachella. That's why everyone was so casual. And Queen was the Van Queen and they murdered Elvis Presley.
JPC
I'm getting these, the timelines crossed.
Erin
To me, it seems like it's a play.
JPC
On words.
Erin
It's not cards.
JPC
Oh, the Queen attacked, did it say, or kills? Killed. Killed.
Adal
Well, the Queen suddenly attacked and killed the king.
JPC
She was attacking and killing. Chess. Yeah. That's it. It's chess. I really wanted to say it was killing some king crab legs.
00:13:52
Adal
All of a sudden the Queen goes to town on some crab. The Queen goes to Alaska and she just snarfs down. Just snarf.
Sandy
Snarf, snarf. Snarf down, Riddle Kitty.
Erin
It's perfect. Ask me if I liked that one.
Adal
Erin, did you like that one? Chess. Yeah, the answer was chess, but did you like it? Did you like the riddle? Hey Riddy Kitty, did you like that one?
Sandy
Chess.
Adal
Let's see a scene where JPC, you're a king chess piece, Erin, you're the queen chess piece, and you're two pieces on the board, and you're the last two left.
JPC
Interesting. She was just cleaning in here. Look, you're going to protect me, right? I... Susie, it was nothing. What? She's a... She's a servant. What? Look, let's not fuck around.
Erin
Cheater says what? I didn't... Cheater says what?
JPC
I didn't cheat.
Erin
Cheater says what?
00:14:52
JPC
Okay, look, it was... We were just doing a standard, you know, castle swap where... Look, it... It was a- she's a bishop! She was protecting me! I'm the king, okay?
???
And I'm the queen.
JPC
Yeah, okay. And I'm the queen.
Erin
I know, I- And I'm- who's the most powerful?
JPC
You are.
Erin
Say that again?
JPC
You are. You're the most powerful, okay?
Erin
Who cheats on a queen? A dummy? Someone's being catty. Oh my god.
JPC
Okay, Melissa, please don't. Not now.
Adal
I thought it would be funny to bring some levity.
JPC
Why would you think that would be funny?
Adal
Because we fucked.
Sandy
Jesus Christ. No, no! Melissa! King me!
JPC
You happy?
Erin
Not quite.
JPC
What do you want?
Erin
I've got one more person to kill.
JPC
Oh yeah? You want to kill me? Yeah. You want to kill me? What will you do when I'm gone?
00:15:56
Erin
Win. Stop throwing up on yourself from here, let me kill you.
JPC
No, I had a big dinner.
Erin
No, you're, oh this is disgusting. You're making my job very easy. I kill! Goodbye. Jeez, bye. Goodbye.
Adal
Scene. I like at the end when you got stabbed, you turned into John Travolta. A cheese ball.
Sandy
Oh, oh, oh. Sandy. Sandy, oh.
Adal
Here we go. Here's our next one. This is going to be a continuation almost. Think of it as almost a continuation.
JPC
Okay.
Adal
My brain is ready for almost a continuation. Kevin and Kevin played chess. They played seven games, each won the same number of games, and there weren't any draws or stalemates. How could this happen?
Erin
It's gonna sound like a dumb question, maybe. What's a stalemate?
Adal
Stalemate is like a tie.
Erin
Okay. It's like a tie, so it's like... It goes around your neck and you do like a... No, I just saw both of them start reaching for their necks to make this joke.
00:16:57
Adal
Kevin 1 and Kevin 2 played chess. They played seven games, each won the same number of games, and there weren't any draws or stalemates. How could this happen? How happened?
JPC
Okay, so they each, they played seven games total, and they had an even number of wins.
Adal
Doesn't say that. No, they each won. Kevin and Kevin played chess. They played seven games, each won the same number of games, and there weren't any draws or stalemates.
Erin
It doesn't say how many they won though.
Adal
Yeah, it says they each won the same number.
JPC
Each won the same number of games. And there were seven games. And there weren't any draws or stalemates. So yeah. Oh, I got it.
Erin
Does it say they're playing each other in it?
JPC
Yeah. So here's what happened is they both got too pissed off during each one of the games that they just wiped the board with their hand, which is what I do when I play chess because it's a game for losers. That's what I do when I play Risk.
Erin
You play with mostly kids, right?
JPC
Well yeah, but these kids are losers and they think that they're better than me, but I can drive and smoke drugs. So anyway, I would clear the... This podcast has been a sting, you're under arrest. I'd clear the fricking board and then there is no winner and there is no loser and it's not a stalemate because the game is ruined.
00:18:10
Adal
Erin was right, they weren't playing each other.
JPC
Okay, who were they playing?
Adal
Oh, it doesn't say.
JPC
Well, then I demand a recount.
Adal
Oh, this wasn't a roast.
Erin
I demand we take the- That one was really good. That took me- that hurt my brain for a second. It felt like it was gonna be a math thing.
Adal
It felt like it was gonna be a math?
Erin
Yeah.
Adal
Okay. What that mean?
Erin
Like, you know, I just was like my brain was like, oh, I'm not doing the numbers well, correctly in this. When really it was just. A lateral thinking problem. Hi, welcome to Riddle...oh sorry.
JPC
Hi, welcome to Riddle...Hi Riddle.
Sandy
Hi Riddle meow meow. Welcome to kitty riddy.
Erin
Can someone change my riddle box?
JPC
You look so terrified.
Erin
Can someone change my riddle box?
JPC
Can someone change my riddle diaper?
Sandy
It's a riddle bit funny, this feeling inside. It's a riving.
Erin
It's a riddle. I don't think I'm going to win this.
00:19:13
Adal
Two sisters are we. Oh, this is going to be a bit of like a, like a true kind of old timey riddle.
JPC
I'm sorry, so this is a true riddle from the old times, so when you were born, 1971?
Adal
Two sisters are we. One is dark and one is fair. In twin towers dwelling, we're quite the pair. One from land and one from sea. Tell us truly, who are we? Two sisters are we. One is dark and one is fair. In twin towers dwelling, we're quite the pair. One from land and one from sea. Tell us truly, who are we? The Whale Sisters.
JPC
One of them's an elephant, land whale. One of them's a whale, sea whale.
Adal
You know how everybody calls elephants land whales?
JPC
Land whale! What do you see an elephant?
Erin
It feels like whenever Adal reads a riddle, JPC says something so ridiculous, so my brain starts thinking and then JPC, it's just like you're knocking two trash can lids together.
JPC
My strategy is getting you out of your head and I'm hopefully confusing the hell out of listeners as well. This is a pre-9-11 riddle because the Twin Towers are still up.
00:20:22
Adal
One of the last few remaining pre-9-11 riddles. One is two sisters So here's what you basically need to know. Or two daughters. Two sisters. Two sisters. So one is dark and one is fair. Okay. Cool. Got it. One's dark, one's fair. They're quite the pair. One is from land and one is from sea. So one's from land, one's from sea. One is light, one is dark. Or dark and fair.
JPC
Dark, fair, land, sea. So the moon... And they're a pair in towers. The moon's reflection in the water is dark and fair in the sky.
Adal
And if you want to ask questions, I'll answer any questions yes or no.
JPC
Can you read the tower part again?
Adal
In Twin Towers, dwelling were quite the pair. Are they human?
JPC
No. Yeah. Yeah. Two sisters, non-human.
Adal
So what does Dark and Fair make you think of?
Erin
Light and dark, like moon and sun.
Adal
Light and dark is more along the track. Keep going with that. Piano keys. Even better, but name it.
00:21:26
JPC
Keytar.
Adal
But no. What are the colors on piano keys? White and black. White and black. And now think of one from land, one from sea, and they're in towers, and they're a pair.
JPC
Lighthouses are white.
Adal
Those are called White Houses.
JPC
Is this a chess thing? But along the same lines. So it's land and sea, and white and black, and they're sisters. What is white and black from land and from sea?
Adal
Do you want me to give you a hint?
Erin
No, not yet.
Adal
Do you want Riddikitty to give you a hint? No, no, no. Riddikitty says, I'm marking my territory.
JPC
No, we want Riddikitty to die. Erin, what are you thinking right now?
Erin
I'm thinking, cause he said sort of when I said chess. So I'm thinking like along the lines of like a game or like a story.
00:22:36
JPC
Yeah, but the land and the sea?
Erin
Yeah, that's the part that's throwing me.
JPC
It's Paul Revere. Yeah. One if by land, two if by sea.
Erin
And I can't, the second you said that I was thinking a mermaid, but that's just me wanting to think about mermaids.
JPC
It's not a human. Is it living? Are these things living? So they're inanimate objects? They're inanimal objects. Enameled orbjorts. Okay. So they're inanimate objects. One's from land, one's from sea, and they're sisters. Sisters. They're related. They're a pair. They're a pair, we'll say. White and black. Is the black from land?
Adal
Yes.
JPC
And the white is from sea.
Adal
Salt? Mm-hmm. Okay.
JPC
Is that right? Salt and pepper. Yeah, salt and pepper. I think that you could have pushed.
???
Let's do a scene.
00:23:36
Adal
Let's be honest, that sucked.
Erin
I liked that one. It took me a while.
Adal
Yeah, I thought to crank up the difficulty level since you two were flying through the other ones I had.
JPC
Yeah, we certainly cranked that one off.
Adal
Can we see a scene where you two are salt and pepper shakers? Yeah. And you're sitting on the table of, you're in the green room of Salt-N-Pepa, the hip hop duo. Yeah. Trio really, but.
JPC
Oh yeah. Jesus Christ Susie, I didn't fork her, okay?
Erin
Stop being so salty.
JPC
Oh, I'm being salty? You're just peppering in all of these little snipes everywhere we go.
Erin
Okay, but you think you're good on everything just because I'm a little unusual and I'm not for everyone.
JPC
I love you, okay? We just spooned. We just spooned. We spent one night together. What do you want from me?
Erin
I just, you're so popular and you're the charismatic one. And you're the one who's constantly everywhere. And I'm like sort of some places, you know? And like, I kind of need you.
00:24:44
JPC
I need you too! This, this wasn't even sexual. She's, she's a cousin of mine. I basically just took a nap with a Kim.
Erin
I feel like I'm playing catch up all of the time with you.
JPC
Hold on, I must push this turd out. Let me just take a quick shit.
Erin
No, not right now. You can't. Oh, I can't take a quick shit?
JPC
No. Susie, I can't take a quick shit in my own house? No. Fine. Fine.
Erin
When we fight, you always leave the room when we fight.
JPC
It's okay. Follow me. We have a ranch-style house. It won't take you very far to get to where I'm going.
Erin
Spicey.
JPC
Spicey.
Erin
You're really good at that.
JPC
Oh, thank you.
Erin
I just felt like I was sword fighting with someone who's better at sword fighting than me.
JPC
I'm like, this is exciting. You did mean it felt like you were being killed by a man with a sword.
Erin
Yep.
Adal
Let's go on to the next one here. I just want to apologize for this one in advance. I think this is going to lose us a lot of listeners.
Erin
Definitely still read it then, bud.
00:25:45
JPC
Oh yeah. Well, one thing I've said about our listeners, and this is historically, you quote me on this, put it on the record, is they fucking suck. They're a bunch of shitheads.
Erin
I know this is controversial, but I like them a lot. And I'm on their side.
JPC
Alright guys, if you're Team Erin, hashtag keepin' it real.
Erin
If you're Team JPC, you don't need one because no one's Team JPC.
JPC
Why would anyone be?
Adal
Here's what I'll say. Our episodes so far, every single episode of this podcast has been flawless. There's nowhere else to go. What do you want us to do? We set the bar at 100%. Yeah, and we put in 100% effort too. So here we go. As Kevin boarded his flight to Israel, he noticed an old acquaintance at the back of the plane. He shouted a greeting to his friend by name, then knocked on the cockpit door to say hello to one of the pilots, who was also an old friend. Several moments later, Kevin was arrested. Why? Kevin boarded his flight to Israel. He noticed an old acquaintance at the back of the plane. He shouted a greeting to his friend by name, then knocked on the cockpit door to say hello to one of the pilots, who was also an old friend. Several moments later, Kevin was arrested.
00:26:58
JPC
So these are people with interesting names. My gut is that the person in the back of the plane's name was, I have a bomb. We had a baby Itzaboy. We had a baby Itzaboy. And the pilot's name was, I'm gonna kill a pilot.
Adal
Here's what I'll say. You're very close.
JPC
Very close.
Erin
Are you lying?
JPC
No. Something with bomb in it. Is bomb in this? No. Or fire. Answer it all? No. Okay.
Adal
But you're, I mean, you're on the money. You just have to find out.
JPC
He got arrested because he said something you can't say on a plane.
Adal
What are the George Carlin seven things you can't say on a plane?
JPC
So one of them is, if you think about it, this word, it's another way for like steal a plane. Grand Theft Plane.
Erin
Hi Jack!
JPC
No, he said Grand Theft Plane.
Adal
One of his friends, the friend in the back of the plane's name was Jack, so he said hi Jack.
JPC
And then he knocked on the pilot's door and that's it. There's no other part to this riddle. There's no other part. It's just hi Jack. So the knocking on the pilot thing to say hi to the pilot, that's not a... That's just something you can't do.
00:28:05
Adal
So it's fine that he said hi Jack, it's just that you can't knock on the door to the pilot, to the cockpit.
JPC
Yeah, that's illegal to do that.
Adal
I don't know why they said, why it was important to say he boarded his flight to Israel.
JPC
Oh yeah.
Adal
Seems so weird to put that detail in, to be like, he's definitely Middle Eastern.
JPC
In Israel, oh I just saw it because in Israel they say hi and everywhere else they say hello.
Adal
Oh that's what it is.
JPC
Yeah and hellojack doesn't mean anything but in Israel they would never say hellojack. They say hijack. Hijack.
Erin
What are these cards from, Adal?
Adal
Um, from life.
JPC
Why do all of these cards say the White National Party? I have other groups and interests. People send me things. People just send me things.
Erin
You guys aren't my only friends.
Adal
Mr. Kevin and the children in the neighborhood are raking leaves at Mr. Kevin's house. They have three piles of leaves in the backyard and seven piles of leaves in the front yard. When Mr. Kevin and the children put all the piles together, how many piles of leaves will they have?
00:29:07
Erin
I know this. They only have one pile.
Adal
That's correct. One big pile.
Erin
Cause they put it all in one big pile.
JPC
Also, those kids are dead.
Adal
That's also part of the riddle. When you uncover the
JPC
Mr. Kevin in my mind is a pencil-thin mustache.
Adal
Let's do a scene where JPC you're gonna be Mr. Kevin and Erin and I will be the neighborhood children and you're getting us into raking leaves to eventually murder us and bury us beneath them.
JPC
I have a couple of extra rakes if you if you want to use the rakes.
Adal
Oh, we brought our own from home.
JPC
Okay, well, you know, some of these leaves can be very tricky, so if you have to get down on your hands and pick them up with your little fingers, then so be it.
Erin
Mr. Kevin, you haven't blinked in a while.
JPC
Okay. You're very perceptive, Susie. Hey, can I offer anybody a Sobey water? A what? Sobey water. It's Sobey Life water. I'm good.
00:30:10
Erin
I'm okay.
JPC
Sure, I have classic Sobey as well. I got Lizard Lava. I got Liz Fuel. I got Lizard Blizzard.
Erin
Are you going to unwrap your candy again this year at Halloween?
JPC
I'm sorry?
Erin
Are you going to unwrap your candy again this year at Halloween?
JPC
I heard you. I was apologizing for unwrapping my candy. Oh, it's just the way you said, I'm sorry. It sounded like you didn't hear us. No, this year I'm doing build your own mountain bars.
???
Oh.
JPC
So you, I have the accoutrements that could go into a mountain bar and you select from a toppings bar, sort of like a Cici's pizza.
Adal
We don't know what that is.
JPC
Okay. Sort of like an old country buffet.
Adal
Why does everyone in town describe you as the pervert who looks like John Waters?
JPC
Well, because I'm a pervert who looks like John Waters.
Erin
Is it true you're related to J.P. Riddles?
JPC
It's a distant cousin.
Adal
Is it true that your nephew is Kid Riddles?
JPC
I'm not going to entertain. Yes, he is my nephew. You're not going to entertain? We're going home. Now hold on, hold on. I have all these leaves that someone has painstakingly placed on my yard with no trees and I do need you kids to help rake them up. Hey, does anyone want to wear handcuffs or handcuff themselves to a rake? It's a fun game! I will, just so I don't lose it.
00:31:28
Erin
What's in a Mounds Bar?
JPC
What's in a Mounds Bar? It's coconut, chocolate, and oh you know what I'm thinking of an Almond Joy.
Adal
Mr. Kevin, what if sometimes I feel like a nut?
JPC
Is this the men's warehouse slogan? I'm not sure what's going on here.
Adal
Sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't.
JPC
Just so everyone is clear, the reason why they call me a pervert isn't for anything nefarious. I had sex with a horse, but it was my birthday!
Adal
Well, what age were you turning? What's that? What age were you turning?
JPC
I was turning, what, 15 or 51? I'll never tell.
Sandy
I'm sorry? It was 51.
JPC
I was turning 51. But the horse was turning 15 and so that's... Who did who? I'm sorry?
Adal
Who did who? Who did who?
Erin
Did you not hear him or are you apologizing?
Adal
I wasn't making the noise of an owl. I wasn't saying who did who. I'm saying who did who. I want answers.
00:32:31
JPC
Darius Rucker was in Hootie and the Blowfish. That's right. You guys want to come in and listen to some singles? Yeah, what's his new one? What's that? Didn't he have a new one? His new band? Yeah. Oh, he's got a new solo project.
Erin
I'm sorry?
JPC
Oh, for listening to that? Or were you apologizing?
Erin
I couldn't hear you.
JPC
Oh, I'm sorry. I could be a lot louder. Let me get right up in your ear, Susie. This is, what kind of shampoo do you use? Is this part? Is this part?
Erin
It's a living! I think we're going to be in trouble for that one, gang.
JPC
Oh boy.
Erin
What's in a Mounds Bar?
JPC
It's a chocolate and coconut.
Erin
And is there like almonds in it?
JPC
That's an Almond Joy. An Almond Joy and a Mounds Bar are essentially the same thing, except the Almond Joy has almonds in it.
???
Okay.
JPC
But like, it's like a coconutty thing with like chocolate over it. So it's like chocolate encased, coconut encased by chocolate.
Adal
For the last one, for my last sort of stint here. For my last trick. Pick a card. Pick a card. John Luke Picard. For my last one here, instead of doing a typical Riddy or Puzzy, what I thought to do is something a little different. And this is going to be, I'm going to give you two a bit of a testy.
00:33:50
JPC
I don't like it here. I don't like it here. We did not think about that ahead of time. Let's just say that. We didn't think about what that would sound like.
Adal
Rudy Kitty says... No thank you. So this is going to be the psychopath test. So I'm going to give you 12 questions. Okay. You have to answer them honestly. There's an A, B, or C. A is not me. B is this somewhat describes me. And C is this is definitely me.
Erin
Gotta ask this right out of the gate. Is there a consequence if one of us is a psychopath?
Adal
Yes, we'll find a new host.
JPC
I've taken this many times before. I'm not a psychopath.
Adal
So A is not me. B is this somewhat describes me. C is this is definitely me. OK, cool.
Erin
Let's do this. Are you answering these two, Adal?
Adal
No.
Erin
OK.
Adal
I refuse to. Number one is most would describe me as charming and nonchalant. I can turn my charm on and off like a faucet.
Erin
Oh, not me. A.
JPC
I would say B. This somewhat describes me.
00:34:53
Adal
We're already in trouble. I do what I want when I want, the moment the impulse strikes me, regardless of what others want. A. Really? B. If something goes wrong or turns out badly, it's not my fault. A. This is easy. C. I've gotten into legal or criminal trouble as an adult.
JPC
I am easily the best at what I do, bar none. Nobody could ever take my place.
Adal
I do whatever I feel like doing and I don't care what others think, even if it's illegal.
Erin
Every person for themselves. I don't see the point in feeling sorry for other people and have no desire to help others.
00:35:58
Adal
I've gotten into legal or criminal trouble when I was a teenager. This is different from the adult one.
JPC
Yeah, because it's teenager?
Adal
I picked up on that.
Erin
I got kicked out of my AP English class once.
JPC
That's a C. No, it's not. C, because I definitely got arrested when I was a kid. Uh-oh, details. I was just like killing people, fucking eating their skin.
Erin
Drowning raccoons, we haven't forgotten.
JPC
I was a full-grown adult. No, I was arrested for shoplifting when I was 14. Are you serious? Yeah.
???
Wow.
JPC
Was it worth it? No. What'd you take? I took Magic the Gathering cards and I had stolen them from the same store three days in a row.
Adal
Fucking Christ, what a nerd.
JPC
For sure, but they were expensive and I had no money. So I had to steal. I had to steal for bread for my family! No, but I got caught because I was like, I had read a bunch of books about pickpocketing and stealing and like and I just I was so stupid the way that I got caught.
Adal
How'd you get cut?
JPC
I mean, I stole from the same store three days in a row, the exact same way. And on the third day, someone's like, Hey, you're stealing. And I'm like, I should go to jail.
Erin
Did you go to jail?
00:37:00
JPC
No, I got arrested. You went to prison? I went to prison because it was a serious crime. I got arrested. I went to, um, uh, the like police house, police station, but I didn't go into a cell or anything. I just like stood there and waited and they processed me and kicked me out.
Erin
So you lived an entire life before you met me. You didn't start existing when you showed up.
JPC
I know that my backwards hat and my no sleeves makes you think I'm a cool teen now, but I'm actually very old.
Adal
So I don't care about this test anymore. What I want to do is I want to role play. Erin and I will be your mom and dad. Oh good. You're 14. Sure. And I want us to be, I know that this isn't the reality, but just for fun, we're starving. So there's no food, there's no electricity. And I want you to have gone out and stolen some Magic the Gathering cards. Yes. Okay. Should we be starved for Magic the Gathering?
JPC
Uh, no, that's fucking stupid as hell. Just be starving and that's the stakes of this situation.
00:38:07
Adal
Burr.
Erin
Gosh, I'm so glad we didn't die today.
Adal
Burberry. I'm wearing all my Burberry clothes. I don't want to sell them.
JPC
Mater and Potter. Should we go inside? Did you call me Potter? Mater and Potter. Yes, this is what me, JPC, calls my parents, historically.
Adal
Yes, here in Indiana, that's what we call.
JPC
You don't know my fucking family, Dad.
Adal
Well, son, I wanted to talk to you. Your mom and I, your moocher and me wanted to talk to you that we don't have any food. I know.
Erin
What did you bring home for us today, son?
Adal
Bread?
Erin
A warm loaf of bread like in the beginning of Aladdin? No bread has ever looked better than that bread.
Adal
Or maybe a single pea like in that Mickey Mouse short where they cut the bean into like ten thin pieces. Ah yes.
Erin
Yeah, what's some other fictional food that looks delicious?
Adal
Peter Pan when they have that rainbow slop that they flick at each other?
JPC
Yes, my mother who historically eats bread even though she has celiac disease and my father who's never eaten a fucking vegetable in his life. We're right here, why are you... Talking like that. Anyway... No, I brought you something even better than food, mother and father. Oh, even better than food? Yes, I brought you... Money? No, no, no. To buy food? Well, very potentially, I mean... Very potentially? You gotta go back to school, son. If we play our cards right, it could be money in the future. Why did you say cards like that? Because it's a pack of Mirrodin Magic the Gathering cards. No, there could be a tog in here and a tog would be worth $20. Are you trying to say pogs? No, I know the names of the magic cards.
00:39:41
Erin
Are you trying to say bread?
JPC
No mother, and you can't eat bread or you'll get violently ill.
Adal
Wait, wait, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Open the pack and let's see if there's some bread in there.
Erin
But I want specifically the bread from the beginning of Aladdin.
JPC
Okay, a frog mite, an ornithopter, a mirror enforcer, a swamp, that's nothing. Ooh, a dark steel citadel. I need one of these because I have a deck that kind of revolves around this indestructible mechanic.
Erin
How did you become like this?
Adal
You. You taught me this. What? No, you and I sat in silence while I put on some moody blues and did Steely Dan.
JPC
It was Steely Dan. You taught me this. I got it from you. I wanted- I stole magic cards because I want to be rich like the rich kids at Cathedral High School.
Erin
Wee-oo, wee-oo. Well, son, we're not gonna cover for you.
JPC
Oh no, the ambulance is coming to take my sick mother away. Uh... Uh... Scene.
00:40:42
Adal
Uh, trip down memory lane, huh?
JPC
I don't think that you can be a psychopath just because you got arrested when you were a kid. Well, finish the test.
Adal
Do you want to finish the test?
JPC
I want to finish the test. I feel like I'm doing pretty well at this point. I'm clearly not becoming a psychopath.
Adal
There's just four more here. I have no problem or concern in lying in order to get what I want. Maybe when I was younger, B. Live in the moment is what I say. The future will take care of itself, and learning from your past is pointless.
JPC
C.
Adal
Okay. A. B. A.
JPC
How do people like be like, yeah, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see, see? Yes, yes, yes, yes. What are my results? Oh, you're definitely a psychopath. You said all the evil things. Is there like a point, a point matrix gradient for this? Okay.
00:41:44
Adal
Okay. Uh, cool. So JPC you scored a seven, Erin you scored a six. Oh wow, Erin, great. Which means you both have no psychopathic tendencies. Nice.
Erin
A true psychopath with lie.
JPC
No, no, no, no, no. That's not actually true.
Adal
They said if you answer that, that immediately means... A lot of the psychopaths have no shame at all when they're filling this out.
JPC
And they're like, oh yeah, that's the true, true of me, true of me. And it's like, it's weird how they don't lie.
Adal
At the end of this test, it also says, if you scored below a 12, it says, congratulations for not being a psychopath today. Oh boy. Yikes. JPC, you had a question in the mic on the psychopath test.
JPC
Yes. OK. So this is one that I took when I took the psychopath test on my own. And this is my question for both of you. Same scale with A, B, C, A being like not likely, B being very likely. OK. I would very much enjoy killing, eating, and having sex with a member of my immediate family today.
00:42:52
Erin
I would need any of my cousins.
JPC
I love all of my cousins. But if I had to rank them in terms of which would be the most tasty, Steve, Brian, Jessica. Are those real cousin names? Those are real cousin names.
Adal
I feel like we've heard all about Erin's family. Now we've done JPC's family.
JPC
Oh, Steve, Brian, and Jessica. Those are all Jeff's kids.
Erin
I have a thousand cousins named John.
JPC
Do you really?
Erin
I have two cousins named John and an uncle named John.
JPC
What's fucked up is I have a cousin named John. It's like, really? I have like 12 cousins and one of them's name is John. But on my mom's side of my family, my older brother's name is Jesse, and the only other person that had a child was my uncle who had a daughter whose name is Jessica. So the order of our family names went Jessica and then Jesse. It's like super original, my family.
00:43:58
Erin
A lot of people in my family have the middle name Moriarty. And we teased them growing up.
JPC
That cannot be true. It's so true because it's my grandmother's middle name. A lot of Arthur Conan Doyle?
Erin
Oh really? Yeah.
JPC
And you're on a Riddle podcast now?
Erin
Yep. And we made fun of them when they were younger. And now Daniel and Molly are super smug because they have the coolest middle names ever.
JPC
I can't believe anyone ever made fun of Daniel Moriarty Smoot.
Adal
This is my uncle Tyser. You guys have uncles Tyser, right?
JPC
Yeah. No, we don't, Adal. What are you bragging?
Adal
There's Yosser, Nosser, Tyser, Sharkbill. There's a whole slew.
JPC
This sounds like an alternate Christmas story with the red deers. On Yosser and Nosser.
Adal
And Sharkbill. Ah, boy. And Waleed. Hey, Erin. You're a pretty unique person, would you agree?
Erin
Yeah, I'm pretty and unique.
Adal
Yeah, you're punique.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
Or are you nitty? Yeah. What do you sleep on?
00:45:02
Erin
Sometimes it's just like a bunch of newspapers stacked on top of each other of like when I've been in the news. And sometimes it's JPC.
Adal
That's a pretty thin amount of newspapers. Local girl falls downstairs. What? I said local girl falls downstairs. Does it on purpose. Goes to jail. Well Erin, because of your unique pretty makeup, I don't know how to phrase this, you should be sleeping on the Helix mattress that JPC and I got you.
JPC
Yeah, yeah, I mean we know that sometimes people have been like don't sleep on an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, but they mean don't side sleep on an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, don't hot sleep on an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, because we know that everybody sleeps different. Well the Helix Sleep Mattress is designed for people who sleep in a variety of different ways.
Erin
And you can take a quiz. And it's not the type of quiz that you can fail, so don't worry about that. I worry about that. But it's just a quiz to get to know what kind of sleeper you are.
JPC
You took the Helix Sleep quiz, Erin, and you got a don't sleep, right?
00:46:02
Erin
The first F ever.
Adal
You can find that quiz at helixsleep.com slash riddle. It only takes two minutes, and it's going to match your specific makeup to a mattress that's right for you.
JPC
Yeah that's why they call it helix sleep because it relies on double helix so you just enter your DNA into the quiz and then it tells you what kind of mattress is your soulmate basically.
Adal
And it tells you what kind of mattresses your ancestors slept on. I mean you'll see that in your dreams.
JPC
Yeah that'll be something that they don't promise that but that is something that comes in most people's dreams.
Erin
And they have a 10-year warranty and you get to try it for a hundred nights risk-free.
Adal
They have a 10-year warranty?
JPC
There is a little loophole here because they say 100 nights but you also get the 100 days as well. So you can sleep in the mattress 24 hours a day for 100 days.
Adal
And for me specifically, for Adal Rifai, those are Arabian days and Arabian nights. That's true. All 100.
JPC
And that's not something any of the rest of us feel comfortable saying.
Erin
And if you sleep next to a partner, half the mattress can be for you, and the other half of the mattress could be for your partner.
00:47:05
JPC
Or, you know, you could do three quarters. Just with sprawl. With arms and legs. But right now, Helix is offering up to $125 off all mattress orders. That's $125 off. To get your $125 off at helixsleep.com slash riddle. That's helixsleep.com slash riddle for up to $125 off your mattress order. Don't sleep on this deal. That's not theirs. That's mine.
Adal
I guess the way I sleep is I clutch a pillow and I kiss it.
JPC
Yeah, I do the same thing but the pillow's in between my legs.
Erin
How I sleep is, you know when you get someone in that choke hold with your leg?
JPC
Oh, like Xena did for James Bond in that movie?
Erin
Yeah, that's what my blankets do to me.
Adal
That's HelixSleep.com slash Riddle. Of course on the pillow I write, not a pillow. So when I kiss it, it makes sense.
Erin
Naturally, you're pretty unique.
Adal
Helixsleep.com. Slash Riddle! Let's actually go to a new segment we have. This is called Sandy's Corner. We're here with our good friend Sandy Weiss, also known as Sandor Weiss. Shandor. Shandor, or Shandor. And you're wildly Jewish, correct? I came up in the wild. Is Sandor a pretty common Jewish name? It's a pretty common Hungarian name. Are you Hungarian? Yeah, well, by ancestry, yeah. And Shondor is a very common name there.
00:48:25
JPC
I think there's a Game of Thrones character named Shondor.
Adal
There is. It's the Hound. The Hound. Yes, that's right. I couldn't remember. But I don't think he goes by Shondor. I think it's just Sandor. I don't think it's pronounced on the show, but in the written form, it's yes, it's my name. And this was Shondor Squirter. Great.
JPC
And so we'll be having a lot of interesting people with interesting names coming in and having their own segments.
Adal
So Sandy, tell us what I know you through. What about the sandbox? Let's call it the sandbox. The Seanbox.
JPC
We're going to come up with our name for your segment. Seanandoa.
Adal
Rain or Sean? Sean and I. Sean and I. We'll call it Sandbox. And Sandy, let us know, I know you from, I mean you design escape rooms, you do all kinds of stuff. Xscape rooms? Xscape rooms. The wrapper exhibit comes into your room, you drive it.
???
Oh, pit my escape room?
Adal
Pit my room. Yeah, I run a company called The Mystery League, and we typically, put on escape room type games for corporate team building. It's like escape rooms, but at a table for a couple hours. But I have actually built also escape rooms. You did the one, what was the one at the house theater? The Last Defender. Last Defender, which I would put in my top three escape rooms of all time.
00:49:38
JPC
Oh, I did that one. Thank you. Well, I just said I did it. I was thanking Adam. What number is it for you?
Adal
It's like when people come up to me after an improv show and they're like, I saw your show. And I'm like, hmm.
JPC
No, I loved that one. I wish that I could have done it again. Well, you're in luck.
Adal
Oh, is it coming? It should be coming back.
JPC
That is awesome.
Erin
Without giving anything away, what was the theme of it or the vibe of it?
Adal
It was like a, it was like an eighties arcade game. Like you were inside and it was like a mission control for a nuclear bunker and shit gone wrong and you got to fix it.
JPC
But it's immense. There's like, I did it and there's like multiple puzzles I never even touched that I could go back and do like differently later. Yeah.
Adal
There's no way that any one person saw all the puzzles. Yeah, no way. But there was, I forgot to tell you, we don't curse on this. So you said shit gets real. Is there a way you can rephrase that? Real things happen. Good enough. We'll just beep you out. Real quick before we start, so Sandy creates a lot of puzzies and riddles for use on NPR and other platforms. So he came in with some bespoke riddles for us. Before we get started, if people were curious or interested, how can they find out more about the Mystery League? Right, so mysteryleague.com, you can go on and find out about all the stuff I do professionally. But at Twitter, I make a new puzzle every friggin' day. Friggin'? Is that okay? Yeah, that's actually better. Every friggin' weekday. PZLR on Twitter. And you can engage with all that shit. Very cool. You said shit, but we'll let it slide. So let's get to our first sandbox. Yeah, for sure. Okay, so I brought a series of puzzles- Unfortunate events. Burned your ass, dude. A series of puzzles about actresses. The way these work is I'm gonna give you a sentence with two blanks consecutively, and in those blanks you have to put the name of an actress to complete the sentence. So like if I said- Oh, no, please, please, please. Okay. Some of them are gonna work a lot better than others. Some are gonna be terrible Well, so far a track record on this podcast is flawless in terms of 100% of our puzzles are amazing Yeah, and we've never messed up a sandbox before So, for example, if I said, the head chef told the line cook to dice less and blank blank. Laura Linney. You got it.
00:51:58
JPC
Is it really Laura Linney?
Adal
To dice less and something more. Julianne Moore. Julianne Frye's mother. I was going to say Reese Witherspoon. Well, see, now you've ruined another one, so I'm going to cross that off the list.
Erin
Nobody say any joke answers.
Adal
Was it Julianne Moore? It was Julianne Moore. Julianne and dicing are The lazy Scottish hiker was happy to find a beautiful blank blank to his hotel.
Erin
Okay, hold on. I love her in that movie.
Adal
In the morning when she makes waffles. Okay, could you say it one more time? The lazy Scottish hiker was happy to find a beautiful blank blank to his hotel.
Erin
It's like a shortcut, but what?
Adal
Henry Ford. That would describe some proximity to something that would be beneficial. Glenn Close. There you go. I do want to take some time just to be sensitive and say that I don't appreciate the trope of lazy Scottish hikers. Right, well you knew what I was going for. Real quick, can we see, JPC is a lazy Scottish hiker, and Erin is Glenn Close, and JPC, you're just trying to make your way to Edinburgh for some haggis.
00:53:25
JPC
I'm going to make this accent pretty lazy as well.
Adal
You're going to Edinburgh for some haggis and also for the Big Fringe Fest to see Baby Wants Candy, and you run into Glenn Close.
JPC
I'm having a great day walking along the roads here.
Erin
Excuse me, sorry to interrupt you.
JPC
Oh, you're that actor. Yeah, which one? Boy oh boy, 101 Dalmatians. Let's pause real quick.
Adal
So I'm getting a lot of Transylvania. Yeah, for sure. Scottish. Scottish. And you're lazy. Lazy Scott. Okay.
Erin
I was Cruella de Vil.
JPC
You're Cruella de Vil.
Erin
And I'm not far away from you.
JPC

It's getting contentious in here. Compromise. We'll do one more, we'll end the segment, and the next time we'll do a couple more.
Erin
I know I'm the minority here, but I think we should do one more.
01:00:16

Erin
Me?
Adal
Yeah.
Erin
I don't remember the whole sentence.
Adal
For people who aren't in the studio, Erin didn't respond to me because her eyes were closed. You can paraphrase that. So she didn't know I was talking to her because I was making direct eye contact.
Erin
Can you read it?
JPC
Okay, you read it and then Sandy will read it and then Erin, I want you to just shout out your own name when we get to that part.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
That's a good idea. Okay, here we go. In order to promote the next season of 24, this weekend Fox is Erin Keif's Best Action Films. And that's the Zant Box!

This is the best moment of my life. Oh my gosh, thank you!
Erin
What? That's so exciting! I would like Riddle so much more if I was the answer to them.

So this is one that they created themselves. Oh, this is an old riddle. Mr. Case, Mr. Side, and Mr. Time all have the same first name. What is it? Hint, it isn't Kevin. Mr. Case.
