Bark bark bark, JPC. Me hungry.
00:00:00
Adal
Bark bark bark, JPC. Me hungry.
JPC
Adal, we've talked about this, my man. If you do that, I will feed you, but it will be dog food.
Adal
That's fine.
JPC
Okay, I mean, I think I know what's going on. You want the dog food because you know that I use Ollie dog food. Ruff ruff. Ollie's fresh recipes are developed by real chefs and backed by vet nutritionists. They're obsessed with making the best meals with the highest quality ingredients for dogs. Now, I gotta say, Adal, you can eat it. I don't think you're gonna like it as a human. This is specifically for dogs.
Adal
It just looks and sounds so good. Also, with Ollie, you don't just get food through their app, you can actually check in on your dog's health with real vets. Just by uploading a picture of your dog, not of your Adal, their team can check in on your dog's weight, digestion, coat, all because they're obsessed with making sure your pup is as healthy as can be.
JPC
I wonder what happens if I upload a picture of Adal. Let me just try it now. They said, oh, they said, this dog is very sick. Take this dog. Take this dog. It says to a people hospital. I switched to Ollie, I tried it out, my dog Spaghetti absolutely went nuts for Ollie. She is a dog, one of these types of dogs, I don't know if you've heard of, have you heard of these types of dogs? She's the type of dog who you can like put the food in her bowl and then she'll just like see it in there all day and only eat it when she's hungry. Now, when it's time for dinner, at about four o'clock every day, she comes up and starts snapping at me like, hey man, get the Ollie out of the fridge, put it in the bowl, dude, you gotta be getting faster at this. She absolutely loves it, and it's the first food that I've ever given her that she actually seems to be interested in. So get ready for both you and your pup to be obsessed. Head to Ollie.com slash Riddle, tell them all about your dog, and use code RIDDLE to get 70% off your welcome kit when you subscribe today. Plus, they offer an obsession guarantee. If you're not completely obsessed, you'll get your money back. That's O-L-L-I-E dot com slash Riddle. And enter code RIDDLE to get 70% off your first box. Can't confirm the promo code works because I used it. I used my own promo code for my own podcast. That's how much I like the product.
00:02:11
Adal
Oh, shoot. I just remembered I buried some bones in the backyard. And by bones, I mean Erin. Let me go dig her up.
JPC
Oh boy. Ollie, feed the obsession. This is a HeadGum Podcast.
Adal
The Doctor is a special announcement!
JPC
Hey Clue Crew, we got a special announcement from your favorite host of a particular podcast that you may enjoy. The McElroy's? It's not the McElroy's. It's a three Hey Riddle Riddle. Hey Riddle Riddle! Hey Riddle Riddle!
00:03:53
Adal
Now you can do that. We're doubling our content.
JPC
If you look at JPC, Erin, and Adele and say, I like them, but I want to make them dance. Dance for my joy, my enjoyment. We're jesters and clowns, and you want clowns to dance, we dance for you.
Adal
You throw the money at us, we dance for you.
Erin
We dance. We just dance.
JPC
And Erin, how much money do we charge for a dance?
Erin
If you want to
Adal
I love podcasts, but I want it to be more visual. Now we're going to dance for you.
Erin
And if we drive you crazy, just know our personalities will fully change on the Patreon. We'll be so nice to each other.
JPC
Oh yeah. If you hate the podcast in its current state, it's much different on the Patreon. Pay $5, don't listen.
Adal
And if you enjoy the current state, I have a secret for you. We still yell at each other.
00:04:56
Erin
We're actively mean to one another.
Adal
So check out our Patreon starting in January. We'd love your support. Thank you so much for listening. Take care.
Erin
Just be careful, okay? Be careful today. We love you. You're a precious cargo.
JPC
We love you. If you're going to the grocery store today, bring a big knife.
Erin
What?
JPC
Everybody be careful.
Erin
No, no, no, no.
JPC
Drive your car fast.
Erin
Do not listen to JPC.
JPC
Do like what Teddy Roosevelt said. Drive your car very fast, but carry a big knife.
Adal
Happy New Year! It's Hey Riddle Riddle, I'm Adal Rifai, I'm JPC, and I'm Erin Keif. No shit. All Sherlock. I am Old Baby Inquiries. Old Baby Puzzies. These get worse and worse as we go along.
00:06:09
Erin
Is there such a thing as Baby New Year?
Adal
Yeah, that's what I was playing on. You want me to just be Baby New Year? Not Old Baby?
Erin
I don't know.
Adal
You have to be Old Baby New Year.
Erin
Can you be Old Baby New Year?
Adal
Okay, I'm Old Baby New Year. Dishing out the piping hot Riddies and Puzzies for 2019. Guys, it's a new year. New year, new president. Can you believe everything that happened to Trump?
???
Unbelievable.
Adal
Drowned in the Pacific Ocean. Insane. Yeah, he tried to drink it.
Erin
I never thought 2019 would ever be a year. I never in my wildest dreams thought this would ever actually be real.
Adal
But we're here. We are here. We have two incredibly special guests in the studio and we're going to switch things up a little bit. We usually do, whenever we have guest hosts, we usually do a mailbag episode, but we just did a mailbag episode and I would not stand for these people not being on the podcast. and I don't care if people are upset it's 2019 which means new rules 2019-2000 fight me is what I always say oh I've always I've always said that and hold out for that if you see him in public do fight him he is ready for the fight he may look like he's enjoying a coffee or taking a big bite of pie but I can't defend myself but I'm very enthusiastic about trying we are here with with two of my favorite humans and also two of my favorite podcasters and what's great about What's great about these two is sometimes you meet people who are wonderfully nice, but just not talented. Or you meet people who are wonderfully talented and just not that nice. These two somehow sync it up together. We have Jess McKenna and Zach Reino from the podcast OffBook.
00:07:54
Guest0
Hello. Oh, sorry. I need to invite you right now.
Adal
Oh, no, I'm eating pie. I was told it doesn't matter if you're eating pie. That's fine. Adal Rifai me. I should have said that, Adal Rifai me. Are we still recording? No. We stopped after two minutes.
Guest0
But what flavor of pie is this?
Adal
January would be what, like a winterberry? Is that a thing?
Guest0
Oh yeah.
Adal
You think a winterberry is a thing? I had a syrupy that was winterberry, so you tell me.
Guest1
Yeah, syrupy only uses real flavors.
???
Real pie.
Guest1
Things that grow on trees, like coke.
Adal
You guys have had crunch berries off the vine, right?
Guest1
Yes. Have to, have to.
Adal
Zach and Jess, before we get started with our warm-up riddies and pussies, any New Year's resolutions? Do you two subscribe to our podcast? Do you two subscribe to New Year's resolutions? Would you be willing to take out your phones right now and subscribe? That would really set us over the edge, wouldn't it?
Guest0
Yeah, not only that, I'm going to rate and review.
Adal
Thank you so much. That means the world to us. Do you two do resolutions?
00:08:59
Guest0
I usually do and don't make it very far.
Adal
What are some of your failed?
Guest0
Yeah, what are some of your failures?
Adal
This is a job interview.
Guest0
The one that I had for 2018 was this idea called Miracle Mornings, which is about like having an hour that's really regimented in the morning that the Miracle Mornings itself is like really prescriptive. It's like broken up into six activities that you do for 10 minutes. And it's like 10 minutes of reading, 10 minutes of visualizing, 10 minutes of meditating, whatever. I extrapolated and was just like, I'm just going to do my own breakdown. And it included like meditating, writing, reading. And I also tried to, um, one of the things I tried to do was drink hot lemon water. And that lasted a couple of weeks.
JPC
As for 10 minutes? 10 minutes of uninterrupted drinking hot lemon water? Is it just like tea without the tea bags?
Guest0
Um, you like use this you squeeze it and you also use the zest it's supposed to be like really good for just like Kick-starting your bod for the day.
00:10:03
Adal
Oh, is it also good as a singer? Is that like good for your? Your chords chords are what us in the musical industry call our vocal cords.
Guest0
Yeah, you're familiar Um, no, I but I'm gonna use that now.
Adal
Okay, good.
Guest0
Oh my chords.
Guest1
What do you call corduroy pants? roids What do you call steroids? Stareys. And what do you call the cute things that get you to the top floor of a building that are non-mechanical?
Adal
My children.
???
Oh my gosh.
Guest1
Zach, do you have any New Year's resolutions? Yeah, I was doing Miracle Morning today. That's where you watch Miracle on 34th Street every morning? Close. It's where I petition my god, a cold and dark god, to perform a miracle for me every morning. And he has obliged most days. And there's some sort of sacrifice, right? Today we're
00:11:14
Adal
It's sort of an eldritch scream. But way more high-pitched than I would have ever concocted myself.
Guest1
All of which is to say that I'm in sort of a perpetual state of, I don't like do resolutions super hardcore, but I'm kind of like always trying to eat better and be better at being an adult. That's pretty good.
Guest0
And also you were drinking room temp grapefruit water.
Guest1
Yes, I do room temp grapefruit water.
Adal
And you eat apples in the shower.
Guest1
I eat apples in the shower. It's a weird thing that did happen yesterday. Thank you for putting me on blast, Adal. Because we all went to a tiki bar last night on December 31st. Yes. Because today is the first day of the new year. Plus four. And that's canon and that's... For sure, yes. Yeah. Um, and for some reason my brain invented a way to not be hungover and that was to eat an apple in the shower While it was on I had to clarify and so shower day keeps that boy a shower day keeps the apple Do you two shit birds have any resolutions?
00:12:18
Erin
I want to be able to do a split.
Adal
Yeah.
Guest1
That's really good. Yeah. Which way?
Erin
No. I want to do the front.
Guest1
Long ways.
Erin
Kick ways. Yeah. I want someone to do it for me though. I want someone to stretch me.
Guest1
Huh. You need a monk to push on your shoulders.
Adal
You need like a David Carradine-esque, yeah.
Erin
I've been looking at YouTube videos. There's this 13 year old girl who's like Hey, I'm going to teach you how to do a split in two weeks, and I like her confidence, so I'm going to let her lead the way.
Guest1
You definitely have bones and muscles like me, a 13-year-old girl. This won't hurt you.
Guest0
Okay, so you know that thing where your body moves however you want it?
Guest1
Do that! And you fell off a building, but it didn't hurt? Do that!
Guest0
Bye!
Guest1
I eat what I want and I'm 20 pounds. Bye! She's honestly underweight.
JPC
Last year's resolutions for me was I wanted to watch less TV and I wanted to watch a hundred movies that I hadn't seen before.
Adal
You just made a monk reference how long ago?
00:13:18
JPC
I love Tony Shalhoub. And I did that and I also wanted to do 20,000 push-ups because the year before that I did 10,000 and then I did that one as well. So I'm pretty good at sticking to my resolutions, but I'm like a psychopath. I have like charts and spreadsheets for all of my resolutions.
Adal
With like red string connecting them all?
JPC
What was the worst movie of the 100? Can I cheat? Can I look at it? I can pull up my spreadsheet.
Adal
Sure, while you do that, I'll say that it's covered in blood. I believe what you're describing is like the Herschel Walker method, right? Herschel Walker. Well, he did a bit of what you did, but also the opposite. He used to watch TV and then on commercial breaks, he'd do a thousand push-ups. This is a Minnesota Vikings receiver.
00:14:19
Guest1
On all commercial breaks, he'd do 1,000 push-ups.
Guest0
Here's what I'm saying. Herschel Walker, if you're listening, come fight me.
Adal
Also, how many was it? I've heard this story before.
JPC
I can't remember. Maybe it was 10.
Adal
Let's get into our warm-up riddles. JPC, did you have that movie?
JPC
Yeah, I saw Mile 22 with the Mark Wahlberg movie. That's the sequel to 8 Mile? No, that's a very good joke.
Guest1
That sequel is also called 16 Mile.
JPC
Mile 22 would be the two and a half in between. No, it was Mile 22 with Mark Wahlberg. It came out like a few months ago. I saw it in California with my brother. It was one of the worst pieces of trash I've ever seen in my life. I'm sure he made like 80 million dollars doing it.
Guest1
Cool. Proud of him.
Adal
Yeah, very proud of him. Alright, let's get into some warm-up riddles. Here we go. First one. I can be cracked, made... An egg. That's it. I can be cracked, made, told, and played. What am I? Deck of cards. I can be cracked, made, told, and played. Joke.
00:15:30
Guest1
What am I?
Adal
It is a joke. It's a joke.
Guest1
Or it's an egg.
Adal
It's a joke egg. It's a joke or an egg.
Guest0
It's like an egg that when you crack it open instead it has confetti on the inside.
Guest1
What's a fiesta egg? Has anybody like done that but also kept like a raw egg? That's called a hate crime when you throw eggs at people.
Adal
That's what it is. When I grew up, that's what we did.
JPC
But if you smash an egg on someone and it's not a throw, that can't be a hate crime, right? That's just cooking eggs wrong.
00:16:33
Adal
Did anybody else as a kid used to take your mom's pantyhose egg and act like you're cracking eggs? What? Just me? Alright. You know you play with your mom's pantyhose, crack open the egg, put the pantyhose on your face, go rob a bank, you get all the money. See, we never did that growing up because we had video games and we weren't fucking weirdos. I feel like, and again, this could be a whole Hershel Walker part two, but I feel like I remember there used to be pantyhose that came in like an egg. They were called like leggings, but the egg was capitalized and the L was lowercase or something. So it's like leggings and an egg.
Erin
I'm very young. I don't know.
Adal
Do the splits then.
Erin
Oh no, I can't.
Guest1
Erin just did them standing up.
Adal
Oh, incredible. Here's the next one. I am a seed with three letters in my name. Take away the last two and I still sound the same. P. That's right. I am lighter than air, but a hundred people cannot lift me. I am lighter than air, but a hundred people cannot lift me. Careful, I am fragile. What am I? Lighter than air, but a hundred people cannot lift me.
00:18:02
JPC
Careful, I am fragile. What am I?
Guest0
Ego or a cloud? Also, I don't trust myself with it. It's so fragile.
Adal
Is it a curse? It is not a curse. Is it a curse though? Here's what I want to see. From a dark and cold God. I want to see Jess and JPC, you're two blissfully ignorant teenage kids who wandered into a shack that was emanating a glow in the woods. Zach, you are some sort of person, maybe a witch or some sort of warlock, who bestows curses. You're the lead singer of Who Mistake? Maybe we're in the Ozarks and you bestow a curse upon these two hapless kids because of what they say. Here we go.
00:19:11
JPC
No way, I could hold my breath in the shack for longer than you could.
Guest0
No, you can't. I've told you, I have great breath support.
JPC
All right.
Guest0
Get in the shack.
JPC
Let's see how this goes. I'm not hungry, but that dog is.
Adal
I'm not a dog. I'm a warlock or maybe a witch. You'll never know. I need you to do this side. What's that? I need you to decide. No, the character knows, but they'll never know. Thank you so much. I'm so sorry.
Guest1
Okay. Your name tag says Warlock. Ah, you've solved my puzzle!
Guest0
Tyler!
Guest1
Tyler! As a reward, I will bestow upon you a gift that is a curse.
Guest0
Wait, that's not a gift. Tyler, also Warlock could be like that witch's name.
JPC
Aw, snap. Is your- No, you were right.
Guest1
I don't have a name tag, I have a profession tag. But thank you for asking my name. Well, technically she didn't ask.
Guest0
What's your name? What's your name?
00:20:12
Guest1
My name is Hot Breath. And I can hold my breath longer than any person on this mortal planet. No way. No friggin' way. Definite way. Okay, well let me make you a little bargain. Deal. If you can hold- Okay!
Guest0
Yes! Tyler!
Guest1
Alright, the terms have been set in stone. Now set them in blood. Okay, I don't have any blood.
Guest0
Hey Tyler. Oh my god, is that true? I might like bike away.
JPC
What?
Guest0
I might bike away actually.
JPC
You said we were hanging out all afternoon.
Guest0
Well bike with me. Stop like agreeing to curses before you even hear them.
Guest1
Okay, but like where are we going? And also I need to fix my bike.
Adal
We cut to these three, these two kids and this warlock on their bikes just through town. I guess we never asked, how old are you? Hmm? How old are you?
Guest1
Uh, how old is a mountain?
Guest0
Um, like, probably, it depends. Like, is it formed from, like, uh, earthquake?
Guest1
Sorry, that one.
Guest0
Oh.
Guest1
Oh, that's easy. 2000 years old. Oh, okay. I'm, like, three years younger than that mountain. It was just, like, starting to bump up before I got in there.
00:21:13
Erin
Tyler, dinner time!
Guest1
What?
Erin
Dinner time. Oh, are your friends joining us?
???
Yes, please!
Guest0
Can they, mom? What are you making? What are you making?
???
Pizza rolls, please!
Guest0
Oh, for dinner, not a snack? Tyler, you prince! I do whatever my son says. I'm afraid of him. Oh, yeah, I can understand that.
JPC
And I say please, because I don't want to abuse my power.
Guest0
And who's this?
Guest1
Hello, my name is Hawd Breath. I am just a little bit younger than that mountain over there.
Guest0
What were you talking to me, Jenna? I've been to your house several times.
Guest1
Mom, this is Jenna.
Guest0
I can't place your face. Jenna? Are you sure it's Jenna? Yeah, yeah, Jenna. Me and Tyler did a project together like three weeks ago. You let us have Pop-Tart ice cream sandwiches.
Guest1
Sorry.
Guest0
I don't think so.
Guest1
Yeah, the curse I bestowed upon you makes you unrecognizable to everyone in the world except for me and your friend. Hey, hot breath, come here. My mom's single. My dad went to prison for tax evasion. Ooh, so you're saying we should hook her up with your friend? Yes!
00:22:16
Adal
What's the Shakespeare play with hot spur? Isn't that a character? Hot piss. That's what it is. Hot piss. Merchant of Venice. Hot piss. I'm lighter than air, but a hundred people cannot lift me. Careful, I am fragile. What am I?
Guest1
Any guesses?
Adal
It's not a fart blimp.
Guest0
Spirits? Is it a tangible thing?
Adal
These are all fantastic answers. Unfortunately, it's not the answer.
JPC
Is it something like actually tangible or is it like a concept? So it's not like pride?
Guest1
Lighter than air, but 100 people cannot lift me.
JPC
Is 100 people, is that the operative thing? Is it like, could 50 people do it?
Guest0
A balloon.
JPC
Ooh, who said that?
Adal
Erin? Me.
Guest0
Wait, closer than fart blimp?
Adal
That's just a big balloon. I need you to trust me. It's also a word that's in, so my favorite Nintendo game has two words in it. You're not terribly off. One is bobble. Oh, it's a bubble. It's a bubble. Balloon is closer than fart blimp.
Guest1
It's true.
Erin
I think they're actually kind of equidistant.
00:23:19
Adal
All right, well then we're done here. 100 people can't hold a bubble? Hey everyone. Thanks for coming out to my TED Talk, of course.
Guest1
And this is one where people ask questions. And let's go ahead and cut straight to the questions.
Adal
I'm just a simple mountain man who came to this TED Talk and I couldn't help but notice... Sorry, you're a mountain man and you live in the mountains or you're as old as a mountain?
JPC
I will entertain any question that you have about my past or my profession. Okay. I came from the mountains and I live in the mountains. Any more questions?
Adal
No.
JPC
Any for me? Oh yes, just my original question. What kind of bubble is that?
00:24:19
Adal
What we have here is what we call a classic bubble. Now this bubble is going to have a film around it made from soap suds. Inside is your typical air. And it's going to last for about 20 to 43 seconds. Can you pass that withered man the mic? I brought this mic from home! I will not relinquish my mic.
Guest1
You can borrow it. Is this engraved?
JPC
Yes. It's very nice. That was given to me by a dragon.
Guest1
That's incredible. I have a question. Bubble fragile?
Adal
Bubble fragile. Careful. Careful, bubble fragile, no pop bubble, bubble can't live.
Guest1
I'm going to give your mic to the woman on my left who's raising her hand.
Adal
Actually I don't know if it's a woman, I'm sorry.
Guest1
Yes over here.
Erin
Excuse me, I have a question. It may be a little personal. Have you ever accidentally fallen in love with one of the bubbles and then had your heart broken because they're here so temporarily?
Adal
One time a dish soap bubble did get to a larger than average size. It flew in front of my wife's face. It slightly skewed her appearance. I fell immediately in love. Harder than I've ever fallen. It then popped and I saw my wife and we later divorced.
00:25:32
Guest1
Uh, well, heart fragile. Heart fragile?
Adal
Marriage fragile? Don't lift. Easy lift. No cares. I don't know if marriage should be fragile.
Guest0
Uh, can I have the microphone now, please?
JPC
I'm never gonna see that damn mic again.
Adal
Sorry, please pass the mic down here.
Guest0
Hey, you ever get that snowman kind of bubble?
Adal
Um, I'm not familiar with that. Yes, you know the one!
Guest0
You know the one where it looks like a little snowman? You ever get that snowman kind of bubble?
Adal
Oh, you're talking about double bubbles.
Guest0
Yeah, sometimes double, but I'm really thinking about that triple bub.
Adal
Oh, a T-bub.
Guest0
A T-bub. You ever get that T-bub bubble?
Adal
It is very rare. It's almost as rare as a four-leaf clover.
Guest0
Oh, hey, mountain man. Oh, yeah? Can I ask you, can I have this microphone?
JPC
Well, I mean, it's not up to me. I'm going to have to talk to Bahamut, the king of the dragons. Hold on a minute. Make a quick call. Sorry, that was me making noises with my mouth.
00:26:36
Adal
Well, it's been great to visit this community college with Night Ted Talk.
Erin
He's on the phone, you're being very rude.
Guest0
I'm taking intro to Russian Learnin'! Oh, this is a great day for me!
Adal
In conclusion... Am I supposed to end it too? I didn't know. No, anyone can end it.
JPC
Adal has to end it. He has to live in his shame.
Adal
Here we go. Let's get into the sweet, sweet meat of the main puzzle.
JPC
So Adal, before we get into some tasty puzzle meat, as you so adequately said, why don't we take a quick little break?
Adal
Do we want to take a break now? No. Okay, let's take one. What is happening?
JPC
Let's take a break while you fight me. Eat your pie. Take a big bite of pie. Let's take a little break. We'll be right back.
Adal
Whoa, who's that new hunk? He's dressed so well. Whoa, look at him.
00:27:38
JPC
He is dressed so well.
Erin
You guys, you're looking in a mirror.
Adal
Oh, I thought that was like Vince Quince or something. Yeah, that's us. We look amazing. I thought that was like Quince Diesel or something.
JPC
We look like that?
Erin
Yes, it's because you are wearing your new Quince high-quality wardrobe staples. Look at you, Adalyn, your 100% Mongolian cashmere sweater. And JPC, you look incredible in this button-down, if I do say so myself.
JPC
Wow, our styles are truly timeless, versatile, and designed to become dependable pieces that we will reach for day after day.
Adal
Also, everything at Quince is priced 50-80% less than similar brands, and they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen, so you're paying for high quality, not brand markup. And Erin, you're doing the splits!
Erin
Look at me go. And it's not just clothing. Quince brings the same approach to everything they make, from hotel quality bedding and bath to kitchen essentials and thoughtfully designed furniture. They make well-designed pieces for everyday living. I'm about to move and my Quince cart is filled with stuff that's going to make my home stylish without breaking the bank.
00:28:50
Adal
Did someone say Vince Quince?
Erin
Whoa! Yeah, like five minutes ago.
JPC
Yeah, like a long time ago.

Erin
You guys, I'm rebranding. You know how my whole thing is how tired I am all the time?
???
Mm-hmm, yes.
Erin
And that I am constantly trying to find solutions and most of them have me like crash after a couple hours.
JPC
Sure, yeah.
Erin
That's all over now. I have ultra pouches. Does a cartwheel, puts my hands up. Whoa, whoa.
JPC
She said does a cartwheel. Erin, I am so happy for you. I mean, I am kind of sad that this means that we won't get any more, like, classic energy-less Erin antics, which were some of my favorite of your antics. But it's cool that you found something that works for you.
00:30:01
Erin
Yes, they're instant focus in a pouch.
JPC
I also heard that ultra pouches are ideal for athletes, runners, and health-conscious people because they are 100% nicotine-free?
Erin

Erin
I legitimately had terrible sleep last night. I'm staying in an Airbnb while the AC gets fixed in my place. And guess what? I missed my bed. I miss my Helix mattress. I have a Midnight Luxe. And guess what? I couldn't bring it to the Airbnb with me. I wish I had appreciated it more. I wish I had told it. I wish I had told my mattress.
JPC
Did someone say miss my mattress? It's me, the Helix Sleep mascot, Sympathy Steve!
Adal
Oh, hey, Sympathy Steve. Did you win Miss My Mattress, the competition?
JPC
Isn't he mattress? I did! Sympathy Steve! And while I can't give you a Helix mattress because, you know, that'd be insane if I was just a guy who gave out Helix mattresses, I can say, it sucks what you're going through.

Guest0
Wait, sorry. Punch sounds! Punch sounds!
Adal
Oh, could you pour me some?
Guest0
Uh, yep!
Adal
Mmm, punch! Oh no, I dropped one!
JPC
Well, we need to see a quick scene.
Adal
This will just be a very brief scene. Zach and Erin, you're at the prom, you're dates, and Erin, at some point you're going to attempt to do the splits while you slow dance with your date.
00:36:05
Erin
I like your corsage.
Guest1
Thanks. I like your boutonniere. Wait a minute. I like that we switched flowers.
Erin
You're fun.
Guest1
You're fun.
Erin
You're also so talented.
Guest1
What are you talking about? Name even one thing I can do.
Erin
You're so good at putting together your clarinet.
Guest1
Oh my gosh.
Erin
No one does it faster.
Guest1
No, I've never seen someone clean the spit valve of a tuba as efficiently as you. You don't mean it. You don't mean it. Are you kidding me? Janine, are you even kidding me?
Erin
I'm not kidding. Your reeds are always so wet. It's amazing how wet you can get your reeds.
Guest1
It's just because I have a gland problem in my tongue.
Erin
Well, um, I, um... You look radiant. I've been working on like a skill.
Guest1
Another one?
Erin
To maybe try to impress you today. Are you ready? Count me down from three.
Guest1
Sure. Do you want me to clear a space in the middle of the gym? Yeah. Because I will? Everyone!
Guest0
Huh? Everyone stop! Oh, what?
00:37:07
Guest1
Turn the music off!
Guest0
No! The music off! Wait, we were like dancing and it was
Guest1
Good. This night, I'm trying to etch into my memory and y'all are mean to me all year, okay, so give me a moment.
Adal
Who are you?
Guest1
Oh my god, Johnson. I'm behind you in literally the whole first block of our day.
Adal
Oh, yeah, that sounds familiar. Oh shit, the date of that 30 year old woman is telling everyone to stop.
Erin
Uh-oh, uh-oh. One, two, three, splits. Oh. I have to go to the hospital. I have to go to the hospital.
Adal
Scene. Drew Barrymore, if you're listening, we are selling this script.
Guest0
Oh, man. Boy, I have a hard time. That movie's not okay, huh?
Adal
Never Been Kissed?
Guest0
Yeah.
Adal
Yeah, I guess.
Guest0
But I really loved it as a teen. Yep.
Adal
I don't remember.
Guest1
Why it bad? Well, it fragile.
Guest0
Well, Michael Vartan, who's a real alias babe at the time, or like it's like during, I was, he was big for me. Um, he's a teacher and she goes back undercover in high school to do a story for the Seshago Sun Times and then they like flirt with each other and then she's like, I'm, there's like a night at the prom where he dances with her which is like, hell no, that's not okay. And he like wants to tell her that he's like into her, he doesn't, but then when she's like, I've been lying, I'm 26, he's like, I'm supposed to, what, that just fixes everything? Like, suddenly I'm allowed to be attracted to you? And you're like, Oh boy. I mean, it is nice that he was like, knew it was wrong, but it's also like, oh boy, this is weird. They fell in love when he thought she was a teen.
00:38:47
Guest1
Yeah, maybe not.
Guest0
Yeah, but boy, I loved it. And there's a, there's a part where, um, there, uh, she's like describing that, that feeling when she like will kiss someone and it'll really be like magical and everything stops and the world is spinning. And when she finishes talking, her coworker Octavia Spencer goes, damn girl, you are a writer. Hey Riddle Riddle Here we go our first main meat puzzy.
Adal
Little Billy was, and Zach and Jess, just so you know, a lot of these are terrible. Okay. So when you're thinking of answers, think what's the worst thing that could possibly be the correct thing.
00:39:53
JPC
And Adal, just so you know, Billy's not a name that we say on this podcast.
Adal
Little Kevin was four years old, and both his parents were dead. His guardian put him on a train to send him to a new home in the country. Kevin could neither read nor write, nor remember the address, so a large label on a string was secured around his neck, clearly indicating Kevin's name and destination. However, despite the best efforts and kindnesses of the railway staff, Kevin never arrived at his new home.
JPC
Is it possible that his last name was Train and so it said Kevin Train and they just left him on the train?
Guest1
Is it possible his last name was We had a Baby Eats a Boy?
Guest0
Hey Riddle
00:41:05
Adal
So what's written on this tag? The tag has a large label indicating Kevin's name and destination. Kevin. And where is he going, did it say? Said he's going to a new home in the country.
JPC
Kevin North and then they're in his they put just like directions on it and I got confused yeah there's something written on it that's like drown this boy or something yeah it's the right it's the name of the place yeah and the and the people on the train were like well we did the thing but it didn't get him home because they're terrible you know when you're on a train you see a little boy with a tag that says drown this boy you're like well I gotta do it.
00:42:12
Guest1
A tag is a legally binding document.
Adal
Do you know what the most stolen book is? The Bible. I was gonna say steal this book. Oh, that can't be true.
Guest0
Um, was he like supposed to go to Narnia? I was imagining that too.
Adal
Pretty close. Can you walk me through what you mean by that?
Guest0
Well, those kids have to go live in the country during the war and it was like common practice during the time to put the label on the kids. And so I was like, maybe this boy, he didn't because he was destined to be in Narnia.
Adal
So in this hypothetical, the wardrobe is on the train?
Guest0
Well, the destination is like Regularsville, but he just had to go to Narnia.
Adal
What's the town motto in Regularsville?
Guest0
We make it, you buy it.
Adal
Fucking capitalists.
JPC
Do we want any hints? No.
Erin
He seems British to me.
JPC
Yeah. He seems dead to me, and the tag is a toe tag. Whoa. Same people that killed his parents killed him, and his home in the country is a symmetry.
00:43:18
Adal
Honestly, that's a better answer. That's amazing. Do you know the answer, Adal? I do know the answer. Okay, and I got it. Some hints are, was his label removed in some way? No. Did someone deliberately harm or abduct him?
JPC
No.
Adal
Thank God. Was Billy a little boy?
Guest0
He's a goat!
Adal
No, he's a goat.
Guest0
So it mattered that he was named Billy.
Adal
Billy the kid. Little Billy, as his name suggests, but I was told to change it, so I went with the room, was a goat who unfortunately ate his label, so no one knew where he was supposed to go. Goats is scamps.
Guest1
Hold on a second. You're telling me that this goat had parents who died and then someone was like, we gotta move this goat because its parents are dead. It's goat parents. I'm the guardian of a goat because that's what it's called when you take care of a goat.
JPC
You're the goat guardian.
Guest1
I have to put this goat on a train.
JPC
I mean swap out goat for bear and this is Paddington.
00:44:19
Erin
Also, I would have believed that a kid ate their label. Like a real child.
JPC
For sure. Yeah, that makes just as much sense. Oh yeah. Especially if it tastes good.
Guest0
Oh yeah.
JPC
Oh yeah.
Guest0
One of those chocolate labels? Yeah, what kind of ink we got on there?
Adal
So here's what we need to see. Jess, you're going to be the... It's like you're reading it out of the book. Yeah, truly. Here's what we're going to see. So the book says, do a scene. Jess, you're going to be the guardian of this goat. Erin, you're going to be the goat. And you can talk and you can even sing and rhyme. Hey Riddle
Guest0
Margaret! Margaret, the goat is finally here! Oh, come here, you little baby goat. I'm gonna love you as my own. Hey. Oh, yes, it's as good as I hoped. Hey. Hi, it's good to see you. Margaret, look at the goat!
00:45:21
Guest1
Darling, what's that you say?
Guest0
Look at this goat! She's finally here, our sweet little baby goat daughter.
Guest1
Oh my word, she's everything I could- Wait, hold on. Does she do the thing?
Guest0
Listen.
Erin
You should know, though, I'm changed. Like, I'm different now. I, like, grew up a lot traveling.
Guest0
Oh, that's alright, my dear, sweet baby. Can I give you, like, two little goat kisses?
Erin
Yeah, but I've, like, done drugs and, like, seen some stuff. So, you just know that I'm, like, changed.
Guest1
Yes, darling. Yes, darling.
Guest0
I want to love this teen goat, but I feel like maybe that means I can't imprint on it as much.
Guest1
Just because it's older? Yes. Good, I'm happy that you said that and not, I want to love this goat but it did drugs so now I can't anymore. You didn't say that, thank you. You're welcome.
JPC
Maybe is this where we're staying?
Guest0
Hey, this is my... Wait, this is a sheep!
Guest1
Yeah. Yeah. Halt, darling. What? Who are we to judge?
Guest0
I'm just, I'm just surprised! I'm so, this is, this is a big horned sheep? It just seems like the aggression might be a little intense.
00:46:26
Guest1
Well, that's a stereotype. Well, actually, I don't know, you're right. He sells beepers. Yeah, I sell beepers.
Guest0
Yeah, did I stutter, motherfucker?
Guest1
I sell beepers.
JPC
It definitely is aggressive. I gotta put our foot down here, I think. Do not put your foot down around me. If I see a foot stomp, I charge. For beepers.
Erin
Oh, I love him. I do I love him here.
???
No none of us, please no I Will not watch this in my
Guest0
My pie! My beeper!
Guest1
Save.
Adal
That's what you wanted, right?
Guest0
Exactly.
Adal
Yeah, that's what it said in the book, right? Charge for beepers. Yes it is. JPC was that a Master Sheep? Master Sheep, yeah, absolutely.
Guest1
That's a t-shirt. I'm gonna charge for beepers. It's got a big sheep on it. Everyone gets it.
Adal
Apparently every reference in this episode is from 2001. Here we go, next riddle. A woman walked up to a man behind a counter and handed him a book. She walked up to him behind the counter?
00:47:35
Guest1
Rude.
Adal
The man was behind the counter.
Guest1
Okay.
Adal
A woman walked up to a man behind the counter and handed him a book. He looked at it and he said, that will be $4. She paid the man and then walked out without the book. He saw her leave without it, but did not call her back.
Guest0
Library playing a late due. Late fee. Late due fee.
Adal
Okay, all of you are the voice of God and you're having a discussion about how to monetize the Bible.
JPC
Order, order, order. Me. Some... Chicken.
Guest1
Alright everyone, calm down. We need to figure this out. You're right. We don't- we're God, we don't have enough money. We need to make more. I think we all agree that selling this book, the Bible, and basically kind of all of it, I mean like- It's the one thing we have to sell. We got the Bible, we got the Quran, we got the Torah, I think we should sell them all. I gotta know, like, how are we pushing this? What's the market?
00:48:51
Erin
I know that this is not on the table today, but can I bring up again that I think we should send Jesus back? It would be very funny.
JPC
Again? At some point we will, right?
Guest0
No, but why not now?
JPC
No, he gets three tries. We're not gonna send him back a fourth time.
Guest0
But like, hey guys, can I be at this meeting finally?
JPC
Yes, Jesus, but you have to be like, chill and quiet. Jesuses are to be seen, not to be heard. Jesus, you is fragile.
Guest0
Wait, I just want you guys to know I agree it would be so funny, like I've been working on a type 5 for me to like go down and just slay.
Adal
Let's hear the first five seconds.
Guest0
Alright, hey guys, happy to be here, but I'm happy to be everywhere, which I am.
JPC
We cut down to earth. Next up at the Chuckle Hut, kids fresh, kids very funny, give it up for Jesus Christ!
Guest1
Jesus, before you go on, it's me, Judas, and here are some jokes I think you should make. I don't know where Jesus is, sorry guys. It's okay, just trust me, these are good jokes. Oh, thanks bud. Okay, I love you, bye.
Guest0
Hey, how's everybody doing tonight? Not great. Oh, shoot. I'm sorry to hear that. You should tell me about it more often.
00:49:57
Adal
I sinned.
Guest0
Oh, you did? Mm-hmm. Oh, man, what am I supposed to do with a kind heckler? Yeah, okay, what'd you sin? What was your sin?
Adal
I coveted my neighbor's husband. Yeah, it's not that big a deal, honestly. Okay.
Guest0
Yeah, look, I know we're not supposed to- There's a sliding scale for sure, and that one's not that big a deal. Thank you! Okay, on to this joke. What do you call a stupid idiot who holds note cards? Jesus Christ!
Guest1
Give me my money. I did what you asked me to do.
JPC
I gave him the card, now give me my money. Here's your money. Now, God, back to heaven with you. All right, so we got rid of Jesus. Why do we keep sending Judas back? Fancy.
Adal
Good, good, good.
JPC
You got that riddle so fast. Yeah, that was a very good. I'm sorry. Very fast and very smart.
Guest1
Don't be sorry.
JPC
I'm just impressed.
Guest0
No, but you know.
Adal
We've been happy with this speed of Riddle because we are very, very dumb. And it's with you two on, I think you've solved 100% of these riddles. Very quickly. Very quickly. Riddle is fragile. So careful.
00:51:07
Guest1
Yeah, fragile.
Adal
Here we go. Next riddle. What this is more just a ponderous question. Why is it that in general, the hair on a man's head goes gray before the hair in his mustache? Why is it that in general the hair on a man's head goes gray before the hair in his mustache? Cuz he's eating a chicken with a mole sauce.
Guest1
That sauce is getting all over his mustache. Zach, your Santa Barbara culture is really permeating this episode.
JPC
Guys, you gotta deal with these spicy chocolates. Sun hits the hair, fur hits the mustache. Easy.
Erin
His brain is more stressed out than his face.
JPC
I'm
Adal
Okay, yeah, all right like that movie land for time land for time or that popular phrase get for done You know that old trapper comedian Any any thoughts we want some hints we want some clues. Why does it make his hair go gray before his mustache?
00:52:25
Guest0
Because he doesn't have a mustache.
Adal
Yeah, not all men have that mustache In this scenario, the man has stache. Does he have hair? He has hair. Are you sure? Who are some famous men with mustaches? Mark Twain.
Guest1
Adolf Hitler. Famously for mustache. Very famous mustache man. Charlie Chaplin.
Adal
Adolf Hitler, surprisingly, his original name was Samuel Clemens. Not many people know.
Guest1
Yeah, Adolf Hitler is what you shout on a riverboat when you throw something over the side to see how deep you fall.
Adal
Okay, we gotta see a scene with... I don't know if we have to, but we will. Zach, you're Mark Twain. Yeah! JPC, you have the enviable role of playing Hitler. Okay. You're on a Mississippi riverboat gambling and you two are just kind of meeting for the first time and kind of sizing each other up. Got any twos?
JPC
I do not have any tools.
00:53:27
Guest1
You're supposed to- okay. I know this may be your first time. This is an old southern game, but all you gotta say is go fish. But I did not know the rules to the game. That's okay, you're doing what? What did you say your name was? My name is Adolf Hitler. You're doing wonderful, Adolf Hitler. That's so funny that that's your name. Why is that? Well, because that's what we shout when we throw a rope over the side of the boat to see- Adolf Hitler!
Guest0
Just like that. Adolf Hitler!
Guest1
Wait a second. Adolf Hitler! How deep are we, Clancy?
Guest0
We three Adolf Hitlers safe enough to pass.
JPC
Safe enough to pass. Here we go now. I must be dead. This must be hell. No, that means that the Nazis have lost the war.
Adal
Everyone, attention please. Just want to let you know that our riverboat's next destination will be across the real stills. So please everyone have two silver pieces ready to put in the purse.
Guest1
Now Adolf, if you could be a deer, it is your turn to inquire as to whether or not I have any number of cards. Do you have any nines? Go fish, or as they say in your country, nines.
00:54:37
???
Hey Riddle Riddle
Adal
Oh no, with what he did to books?
Guest0
Made them funny? How dare you?
Adal
For painting that fence. Have we solved this riddle? No. Do we want the answer?
Guest1
Oh, I could have sworn we'd solved it. Why does a man's mustache? I need a directional hint.
JPC
You give me north-south, I'll
Adal
Here's a bit of a hint here. Is this to do with the way that the hair is cut, brushed, washed, or treated? No. Is this to do with eating, drinking, thinking, or talking? No.
Guest1
That's a terrible hint.
Adal
Is this to do with timing? Yes.
00:55:38
Guest1
Hey Riddle Riddle Well, no, but that's but that's the question. Is that like, I was under the impression that the hair on my head now is not the hair I had on my head before, right? Like hair falls out and then grows again. Like all of the hair that I'm growing on my head when I'm 40 years old would be the same age, right?
JPC
You are born with the amount of hair that you will have for the rest of your life. It's like eggs. It's like eggs. Okay. Yes, eggs is like hair. Okay. It's just that the hair is gradually coming up because it's so far down.
Guest1
You got a bunch of hair in your head and it just sort of like pushes out slowly.
Guest0
Your brain is hair. Mm-hmm. And the more you think, the more that your hair grows out faster.
Guest1
Which makes sense because that is what Erin said was that your head is, your brain is more sourced out than your face because there's so much hair inside. Yes.
00:56:44
Guest0
No one has that much hair in their lip.
JPC
That's why people used to call each other hair brains.
Guest0
That's right.
JPC
And that's actually right. That's actually right.
Guest1
And that's why women can't eat hair because they don't already have hair in their mouth. I won't support that. I will draw the line and I won't support that.
Guest0
Zach, I don't think we're here in 2019 to like point out more differences.
Guest1
I'm just saying. Men eat hair all the time. And women can't. And they're just different.
Adal
The thing about men and women is... Get her done. Let's do, we'll do one more entree and then we'll go to our sweet desserts with our final listener submitted riddle.
JPC
Ah, yes.
Guest0
I like this meal. I've really been walked through kind of a tasting menu.
Adal
I'm so sorry. It's been a bit of a prefix. During a christening ceremony, the godmother of the child suddenly tackled the priest who was conducting the ceremony, knocked him down, and rolled him over on the ground. Why'd she do that?
00:58:01
Guest0
He caught on fire!
Adal
Well, well, well. We just high-fived in slow motion. The two women who came into the studio wearing identical Sister Act habits got this question right.
Erin
This is an expensive joke.
Adal
It does not translate from the audience. Had you two heard that before?
Guest0
No, we're just smarter.
Adal
Why is there fire?
Guest0
There's so many candles in Catholic Mass, you know.
Adal
No, Jess, I got this. One of the funniest things I've ever seen is this altar boy who is so small try to have like that big heavy And then try to put it in a holster and then everything was just too hot top heavy for a while and for like 11 minutes
00:59:02
Guest0
So he was holding it like, he had to learn, let him learn.
Adal
How I would imagine a dog trying to stand on two legs would move, like a lot of navigating side to side. We know how you imagine a dog to move.
JPC
I've drawn it several times.
Guest1
Follow up, have you ever never seen a dog try to walk on two legs? You just have to imagine what it would be like?
Adal
Yeah, just imagine it. I mean people have tried to show me, but I look away. I mean they do it. I have a very specific way they move.
JPC
There was a movie theater right next to where I grew up, so I would see dogs walking on two legs constantly trying to get in there, but I'd take them to the shelf, have the usher turn them away, send them back.
Adal
You know where you put two kids in an overcoat and then a dog on top? This is what a person is! It's not to trick the ticket taker, but to overwhelm them to make them think that they're going insane.
Guest1
I think it's absurd that we don't allow dogs to buy movie tickets.
Adal
Well now, Zach, you just volunteered to play a dog. You and Jess will be two dogs in an overcoat trying to sneak into a theater. JPC, you'll be the ticket taker, and Erin, you'll be the manager who intervenes at some point. Hello there and welcome to MoviePlex. Sorry, you're coming to see Mount 22.
01:00:20
JPC
Hello, welcome to MoviePlex.
Guest1
Hello.
JPC
We would like... I'm sorry, who's talking?
Guest0
It's me. Down, down there. I'm sorry, Daryl. Your stomach appears to be grumbling. Daryl, it's hard to be on two legs. Oh, I know.
Guest1
But we don't need to be Daryl. We would like... Daryl! His name is also Daryl! Oh my god, but your name is Daryl and my name is Daryl! Your name is Daryl? We're just a barrel of Daryls.
JPC
Listen, we need to... Was that a carol of the world? Oh no, here's my bad, it's a carol. Hey Daryl?
Guest0
Yes, Daryl? What's the holdup? Yes? Oh, I'm sorry.
JPC
I'm sorry. What? Is there an echo in here? No, this is Daryl and I'm Daryl. Hi!
Adal
Sorry, I was just walking by. It's me, funny man Will Ferrell. Did someone call my name? This is a movie theater for dogs, Will Ferrell!
JPC
Good day. This is a movie theater for dogs, Carol.
Erin
This is a huge weekend for us. It's Mile 22 weekend. And what's the hold up?
01:01:21
JPC
I'm sorry, there's no hold up. They're coming into the theater. I just have to sell them a ticket.
Erin
These are two dogs?
JPC
This is one person and it is two dogs.
Erin
Hold on, walk me through that again.
Guest1
Okay, so we're one person, but we are two dogs.
Guest0
Okay, can I see an ID?
Adal
Can I see an ID?
Guest0
This movie is rated R. He'll open this coat to reveal that we are two dogs.
Adal
I forgot to mention, you are two dogs in an overcoat, but you're standing on two legs side by side. Side by side. Yeah, this is one fat short person.
Guest1
Two-headed dog. So here are our dog ideas, and here's our one.
Guest0
Dog ideas?
Guest1
Can you please tell me some of your dog ideas?
Guest0
Okay, what about instead of vacuums, we just don't ever care?
Guest1
What if all of the tables were lower to the ground? I don't like either one of these.
Guest0
What if we bring back newspapers, but they're all squishy toys?
Guest1
What if instead of cars, tennis balls? Okay.
Guest0
How about, but only open windows go very fast.
Guest1
How about no more squirrels?
Guest0
Except they're always right in front of my face.
01:02:22
Guest1
No more squirrels? We'll buy it. We'll buy that dog idea. And the price? Two tickets to Mile 22. Can you throw in two tickets to Air Bud Golden Receiver?
Adal
You get the fuck out of here. You get out of here. Wonderful. Well let's go to our final riddle. This will be a listener submitted one. This is from Michael Schentz. This is the part of the show where we all sing a favorite jock jam. We place one word of the jock jam with the word puzzle. We're headed for riddle, but still we stand puzzle. Where did you come from?
???
Where did you go?
Adal
Where did you come from, Puzzle Eye Joe? That's your favorite jock jam? I said favorite jock jam, right? And I sang that song? You fucking tell me. I'm just singing more Final Count. Erin, name one song in jock jams.
Erin
I'm so young, I'm doing the splits!
01:03:27
Adal
This is from listener submitted Riddle from Michael Schmidt Michael, you just got a ton of shoutouts. Feel good about that. Michael immediately says this is an easy one so he's retroactively shaming us. Man, I really wish I wouldn't have said what up to this guy. The rock was in the middle of a snowball.
JPC
It's Stone Cold Steve Austin is dead and The Rock and it's Wrestlemania.
Adal
It's Dwayne Johnson.
Guest1
I actually do know the answer to this so I said shut up.
Adal
Zach knows the answer so we'll wait if nobody else gets it we'll have him show his knowledge. He tripped. So the guy is in Iraq and it's the war. I'm sorry did I say a rock? It's a rock.
Guest0
It was the rock that they kicked out while he was hanging.
JPC
So it's a man lying dead in a field with a rock.
01:04:33
Erin
We're getting a hint, I feel like.
Adal
What are you talking about?
Guest0
I think we're getting a hint.
Adal
No, it's actually just humming a song.
Guest0
Wait, but hum it some more. It's the Olympics.
???
Yep.
Guest0
It's the shot put and he had a heart attack from the stress. You know me so well.
Adal
You know when you left 12 pounds in one hand and you get a heart attack?
Guest0
Yeah, you're like, oh my gosh, I'm the only athlete from my country. This is too much pressure. I'm dead.
Adal
I'll repeat it one more time. A man is found dead lying in a field next to a rock.
Guest1
Can I give a tangential riddle first? Yes. Two people are found dead laying in an alley and one person then is afraid of bats. Who am I?
Adal
Spiderman.
JPC
Yeah, Spiderman.
Guest0
Alfred.
JPC
What's the riddle again?
Adal
That's a wonderful hint. A man is found dead lying in a field next to a rock. The rock killed him, but there's no blood on the rock or around the body. Who is the man and how did the rock kill him? Batman and that song are as good a hint as you're gonna get.
01:05:42
JPC
I got more hints. So this is comic book related? Yes. In some way? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes
Adal
No. You're thinking Marvel, I need you to think lateral.
Guest0
DC.
JPC
Superman.
Adal
Rock is Kryptonite. The Rock is the band Three Doors Down. They're singing their hit single, Kryptonite. Superman decided to take his own life because he hates the song. Superman can't be cut, so the internal bleeding is what drowns him.
JPC
If I go pussies, then will you still call me Riddle Man?
Guest1
If I'm alive and puzzles, will you be there?
JPC
Riddle my hand! Zach, did you know that? Is that the Superman? Is that what you were going for? Yes. Nice, okay.
01:06:45
Adal
So here's what we need.
Guest1
I had heard that one before. I didn't like immediately think of the answer to it. I've literally heard someone say the Riddle before.
Guest0
I just didn't know the Superman theme. I was like, you're humming something uplifting.
Erin
I remember hearing it before I went on a rollercoaster, and now I realize it was before I went on the Superman rollercoaster.
Guest1
Six Flags New England. I'm wondering now if that's the Superman thing or that's the Justice League thing. I think it's the Superman thing.
JPC
I honestly thought you were doing the intro to Final Countdown again.
Guest0
Yeah, I honestly just thought you were bored as hell. And I was like, whoa, rude.
Adal
Nice being rude. Does he know he's humming? I don't know him well, but maybe he just didn't know. Erin, in New England, how do they pronounce Superman?
Erin
Superman. Oh god, I'm too afraid to go on Superman. I heard a man died once. Erin, don't you dare go on that ride.
Adal
So Erin, you're gonna play... Ted Kennedy killed that weapon. You're gonna play Boston Superman. Jess, I need you to play Lex Luthor, and you've somehow tricked Superman into... into a certain... luring him into a certain area that has kryptonite and then trapping and killing him.
01:07:50
Erin
Dun dun dun, I'm here, I'm here, relax. Okay. Oh god, we're here. Hello? Hi.
Guest0
How are you? Hello. Yes, good. God, you look awful. Hey, come on! Listen, I- Are you sleeping? No, not great, honestly. I'm not- I'm not getting a lot of sleep, not getting a ton- Alright, listen- You look stressed. People who are stressed die. You know- That's all I know to be true. We all die, so what- what- what am I gonna do? Not die? Okay, tone. I'm your guest. Offer me some water. What are you doing? Well, if you have to know, I brought you here to destroy you once and for all. But yes, I will give you a glass of water because I'm not a bad host. Do you like flat or sparkling?
Erin
Flat. And also, take a look at my chest. I'm strong. I'm one of the strong guys.
Guest0
Yeah, you're a very strong man, but I have a deep, deep intellectual strength. Mmm, okay, you sound like you think you're better than me. I- yes, I do think I'm better than you.
01:08:52
Guest1
Boss!
Guest0
Boss! Oh, hang on one second. What?
Guest1
Is the pot where I put the bad rocks in the water?
Guest0
Oh my god. Oh god, he knows I can hear him right now. No, I think he doesn't. Come here. Oh god. Come here.
???
Oh.
Guest0
Come here. Uh-huh. What are you doing, Ben Affleck? I just want to be around you. Oh, I told you. Hang out in the bag. This guy is so much co- okay. Hang out over there. Is it cool for him?
Erin
I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm not getting enough attention.
Adal
We cut to the the Garden of Eden. Why though? With JPC as Adam. No, I like this direction. Let's hear it out. With JPC as Adam, Jess as Eve, and Zach, you're there as Ben Affleck. And you're just eating from the Tree of Knowledge for the very first time. And there's a slight rain shower while you're eating the apple.
JPC
How should we should get into um let's get into this little tub because I don't want to get wet when I'm eating the apple No, that's like the whole point. Oh to get wet and eat the apple.
01:09:56
Guest0
Yeah knowledge so wet and sexy Okay, this is The part where I put the rocks in the air oh my god something in this apple oh Welcome to Very quickly Michael Schmitt actually included a second one that that's actually a great puzzy So we're gonna read that very quickly here. This is a harder one He lets us know a man is on a train that is full and He's a goat.
Adal
Well, here we go.
Guest0
That's our show.
Adal
A man is on a train that's full. I assume the train is full, not the man. He notices a person with a missing finger. He walks up to the person and kills them. At the next stop, he is questioned by the police, but they let him go. Why? And I'll allow 30 seconds of guesses, and then we'll get to the answer.
01:11:12
Erin
on the show.
Guest0
That's not it? No. Oh man, but that was so good.
Guest1
It was good. There are no trains in that movie, though.
Adal
That we see.
Guest0
That we see, Zach.
Adal
A man is on a train. He notices a person with a missing finger. He walks up, kills them. Next stop, the police question him, but they let him go. Why? Any other guesses? Erin, you're very close.
Guest1
The police are bad.
Adal
Is this a bounty hunter situation? Is he hunting this man? Yeah, the train is going to the Sarlacc pit. I'll give you a hint.
JPC
I think this is a hint.
Adal
Ashley Judd movie? Once released from prison after serving his sentence, the man saw his wife, who framed him by cutting off her own finger and leaving it at the crime scene. When the police questioned him, he stated these facts and they let him go because you cannot kill the same person twice.
01:12:28
JPC
Here's the thing, yes, but they can arrest you for killing a person until they investigate that. Well, it's a riddle crime. I just picked up, I pulled up the court record on my phone. Yeah, he's good to go. He already killed this woman.
Erin
If I ever commit a crime, it will definitely be in a riddle. So there are very little consequences.
Guest1
Wait, in this scenario, this person got framed for the murder of this person. Yeah. And he's out now?
Guest0
Yeah, he served his time.
JPC
It could be 25 years. Sometimes you don't go to jail forever.
Guest1
Well, I mean not my jail Zach, can we see a scene with your jail? Sure.
???
Can I get out?
Guest1
What's that? Can I get out? Let me explain how my jail works. This again? My jail. My jail. Maja, Maja, you're in here forever. It's kind of a forever show. Oh, do the full song. Do the full song. Would you believe that I don't? That's our show. Zach and Jess, thank you so so much for coming on. Again, two of my favorite people.
01:13:35
Guest0
And then also if you're not listening to the podcast off-book, the improvised musical,
Adal
Which you're not currently listening to. Oh God, pause this podcast.
Guest0
Pause this right now.
Guest1
Don't do it at the same time. Just listen to one at a time though.
Adal
But it is the absolute best, so please check that out. Anything else you want to mention or is there more about OffBook that you'd like to plug? I'm wearing an OffBook shirt myself right now, so there is merch.
Guest0
There is merch. We're gonna perform at San Francisco Sketch Fest and we're gonna be at the Steel Stacks Comedy Festival and also we have an album that is coming out.
Guest1
That is not improvised. It's written. Three of the tracks are out now if you want to preview it.
Guest0
We got a Christmas song, a Hanukkah song, and a song about the experience of dining where they have to explain shared small plates to you.
01:14:39
Guest1
Yeah, so that album's called The Calendar Album. You can find it on Spotify, Apple Music, and it releases January 18th. That's right.
Guest0
Those three tracks are out now.
Guest1
Right now, baby. Right now. Now on this, the first of the new year. Yes.
Adal
I guess I have to ask, will my jail be on the album? B-side, B-side, B-side, B-side, please, please, please.
Guest0
Only on the vinyl.
Adal
Will the song Dog Ideas be on there now? Anything else? Anything else going on? Nah. I didn't mean to sound shitty. Anything else going on?
JPC
That's not a lot.
Adal
You have 24 hours in a day.

Erin
Jupiter. Bye.
01:17:02
JPC
That was a hate gum podcast.
