00:00:02

JPC

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

Whatever these are, I'm very into. I need a name for these. I don't have any. So I'm sad to announce Hey Riddle Riddle. This is our last episode. From this point on, it's just going to be seeing the sandbox. I have usurped your podcast throne.

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

JPC

Adal

I'm the only one who's not fully white.

Adal

My face is... Can you read the whole sentence to close us out?

01:02:19

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.

I didn't do it for these guys either.

Adal

We have to keep all that that you just said. And of course we'll end with a listener-submitted puzzy. This is from Tristam Draper. It says, this is a riddy I came up with a few years ago. 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.
