Erin

Almost always.

Adal

And you're a trained singer, correct?

Erin

Yes.

Adal

And you're always running up and down stairs?

Erin

Yeah. And going, what's that thing where you dive under the sea?

Adal

The worm.

Erin

You dive under a sea?

Adal

The bends. Scuba diving.

Erin

Scuba diving. I, uh, yeah.

Adal

Do you know what SCUBA stands for? Yes. Secret control. Uber. Uber. Uber. I like secret control. Uber.

00:02:40

Erin

What does SCUBA stand for?

Adal

Self-contained underwater breathing apparatus, I believe. What don't you know? Do you guys know what NASA stands for? NASA stands for No Airplanes. Space. Space.

JPC

Alright.

???

Alright.

JPC

What if it did? What if it did for No Airplanes? Space. Alright. I want that t-shirt.

Adal

I want a space shuttle with Matthew McConaughey in the window. It says space. All right. All right.

Erin

I want no airplanes. Space? Question mark. All right.

JPC

All right. What's that called when it's a, is it an initialism when each letter of, no. Initialism? What's it called? Like scuba, like the word scuba. That's a word. Oh, I couldn't think of word. Acronym. Is it an acronym?

Erin

It's an acrobat.

Adal

It's an acrobat. There's acronyms and then there's like the acrostics. Or an acrostic. You know acrobat is an acrostic.

Erin

For what?

JPC

All right.

00:03:44

Erin

All of these have all right in them. Do we not know any other a-word?

JPC

That's the only one I know.

Erin

What show is this?

JPC

We've already said the name of the show. I did the thing about me and being pee and cum. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's Hey Riddle Riddle. Still? Should we do another intro? Yeah, should we do another show? Yeah, let's do one more for the different show.

Erin

Oh, let's do a reply all. Okay, cool.

JPC

So let's do an intro for a more popular podcast. If they want to use it, let them use it.

Adal

Let's do a reply some. Ah, this is the daily on, Michael, blah, blah, blah. Michael, blah, blah, blah. Erin, what's your favorite podcast?

Erin

Oh, am I supposed to say Hey Riddle Riddle? Because that was not my first instinct.

Adal

What's your favorite podcast?

Erin

Not Hey Riddle Riddle. I can't listen to it because I find myself to be shrill. I'm kidding.

Adal

Don't ever call a woman that. No, hold on. I have to step in. What you just heard was JPC using a voice modulator.

JPC

Yes, guilty as charged. And I would have gotten away with it too if it hadn't been for you kids and your dog, Erin Keif, your shrill dog.

00:04:49

Erin

I like a lot of podcasts. I love my favorite, Murder, but sometimes I have to stop listening to that because I get spooked. And then I love this podcast called We Knows Parenting. And it's just two parents talking about their kids. It's very warm and gentle for my ears. JBC, what's your favorite podcast?

JPC

This is not like a plug because everybody already knows about this podcast. If you're listening to this podcast, you know about the concept of podcasts. But I just listened to the third season of Serial, which came out not too long ago. Probably at this point it came out a long time ago. But it was great. I mean, it was horribly depressing and very sad. But it's about the criminal justice system, like the court system, a year in... Cleveland or Columbus are one of those Ohio cities that starts with a C. There's like 15 of them, including Akron. But it's, it was great. I really enjoyed it. Adal, what about you? Don't say hello from the Medutator. Don't say siblings, peculiar or whatever.

00:05:49

Adal

I like, I mean, anything the Macaroys do, I like, I like, um, lore, welcome to night fail. And just three or four more. And just three or four more. Adal and I pop filter half the hours of fave. I listen to too many podcasts.

Erin

Is there anyone on a podcast where you feel like they're so familiar to you? Like you feel like you know them? I feel like there's some people who I'd freak out if- Yeah, JPC always thinks he knows me.

Adal

I listen to Adal on podcasts and I'm like, I feel like I know that guy. I get a lot of, so like when we do, if we do like a Magic Tavern live show and we do like a meet and greet afterwards, which we typically do, there will be a certain percentage of people who come up and they're all wonderfully nice, but there's a certain percentage of people who feel like they know us because they listen to us. So they will come up and just be like, hey, Adal, Matt, and Arnie, but they won't never introduce themselves. So we all take a moment where we're like, Do we know this guy? Or like, what's the deal? Or they'll come up and like, go up to Arnie and be like, hey, you tall fuckhead. And we're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. And they're like, no, like the podcast. And we're like, yeah, but you don't get to do that. So there's always like a weird over familiarity.

00:07:04

Erin

I give anyone permission to call JPC a tall fuckhead.

JPC

Yeah, I'm 5'11, so good luck motherfucker. Put your eyes on stilts. And I'm always on stilts.

Erin

I just feel like I'd freak out. There's something about podcasts, especially where I feel like I'd freak out the people who I've listened to because I'd meet them and I'd immediately feel like I'd know them.

Adal

If fans of this show ever approach you on the street, Erin, if they exist, what do you want them to do if they see you? There should be like a code word, right?

Erin

Yeah. Ooh, what code word?

Adal

Or like they give like a bird call or something?

JPC

No, you don't want people to be calling at you. You've got to be very, very careful here, Erin, because this could haunt you for the rest of your life.

Erin

First of all, I want them to bow. What if it's in the middle of the street? I want them to bow.

JPC

Supplicate yourself.

Erin

No, you can say watermelon because that's the fruit that JPC and Adal don't know.

JPC

Yeah. I think it's a Jupiter to you.

Erin

Jupiter?

JPC

Yeah. They can make you a scorpion and drink a pen. Yeah, they bring up paper.

Erin

They just go, hi Erin, I know you, you don't know me. And then I'll give you a hug and we'll talk for as long as you want.

00:08:08

JPC

Wow.

Erin

I wouldn't.

JPC

I would never say that I would hug someone. Of course, if people meet me and they're a big fan of my work, I will take your sibling on a date. I will pay for 25% of the date, but that is the extent that I will. The campaign podcast has been going on for like five years and there is a guy out there who has a, I would say, not insignificant portion of my skin. And he is crafting a duplicate of me.

Erin

What's a not significant portion?

JPC

Not insignificant portion of my skin. I would say he has 40-50% of the skin that I've left behind. And he's creating a golem to serve him.

Erin

And his name is Adal? What's his name?

Adal

No, golems are Jewish, and I am not Jewish. Historically non-Jewish, canonically non-Jewish. Also golem is Jewish. Oh, to me! Do you ever see that kind of lure of the rings? They made golem Jewish?

Erin

Oh God.

Adal

It got really dicey with the jewelry. Let's just hear a little bit of that, Adal. Let's hear a little bit of what you think, though. No, we will not. We will not be hearing that. But if we did, it would go a little silly to Adal and take it away. If I, and this is a sincere question, if I, how much would you two invest if I created a company called Hava Tequila? It's a tequila company. It's catering towards Jewish drinkers and it's called Hava Tequila.

00:09:31

Erin

If all the money was going to Jewish people and not you, Why would that be?

JPC

Whoa, Erin, do you think all the money is going to Jewish people? You think all the money is going to Jewish people? Dead! Not a good look for you, sweetie.

Erin

Oh my god, sweetie is the funniest thing to be called. My boyfriend and I have been trying out nicknames for each other. We'll see if I still have one when this comes out, who knows. We tried sweetie as a joke and we hated it, but I've been calling him my king as a joke because it's so gross, but now it's sort of sticking. Can I start calling him honey as a joke and now I just say it? But now I think I'm gonna continue with. Is my king cold?

JPC

Baby's also a slippery like trap because it's like easy to use but you could say it like once it's a joke and it's like that feels fine.

Adal

I called JPC king Ralph every once in a while.

00:10:32

Erin

Who's Old Man Puzzles?

Adal

I'm Old Man Puzzles and I guess we'll do some puzzles. And we'll also have several more anti-Semitic traps laced into this episode. My nightmare. Can you say that line again but say it as Admiral Ackbar? It's an anti-Semitic trap! Oh, I need, I need to... No, we don't. No, the world does not need that. No, I need that. Uh, hey Clue Crew. What's up? What do you throw out to use and take back in when you're done? Bath water! Throw out to use. The baby.

Erin

A sneeze. No.

Adal

What do you throw out to use and take back in when you're done? Baseball.

Erin

Trash can.

Adal

Baseball. It's not baseball.

Erin

Trash. Why not?

JPC

What? Trash?

Erin

I don't know. I don't like riddles.

JPC

What do you throw out to use? What do you throw out to use? Fishing hook. What do you throw out to use and take back in when you're done? Fishing line. Fishing hook line. I mean, you're correct. That's not the one that was written down.

00:11:39

Erin

Fishing line. Fishing hook. Fishing line.

JPC

It is fishing.

Erin

Net.

JPC

Net?

Adal

You throw it out to use and take it back when you're done? What do you throw out to use and take back in when you're done? I want to see a quick scene. The two of you are salty, salty, salty, fishy men. And you're on a boat. You haven't caught fish for a while and you start talking about baseball.

Erin

Carl, how's that side of the boat?

JPC

It's dry. It's all dry. I mean, literally there's water here, but no fish.

Erin

Same on this side of the boat.

JPC

Eddie, what are we doing out here?

Erin

I don't know. You know what I wish I was doing.

JPC

Visiting your wife's grave? Oh, it's a birthday after all. Oh, Eddie, Eddie, it's been 30 years.

Erin

I'm just trying to distract myself and you brought it up like it was nothing.

JPC

I didn't know, I didn't know. Look, why don't I turn this board around? We'll go back to shore where your wife's grave is and we'll visit. I'll say a few nice words. I'll say a few nice words.

00:12:46

Erin

Why would you say a few nice words? She's my wife.

JPC

She was your wife. She wasn't your- Stop real quick. Erin, what is she?

Erin

She was my wife.

JPC

She was my wife too. She wasn't what? That's right. We were married before you even met. And we were divorced. And when I saw her with you, Eddie, my old pal, I thought, let him have a shot at happiness. I never told you. Until now.

Erin

You lied to me. She lied to me.

JPC

Technically, it was a lie of admission.

Erin

That's the worst kind of lie, because you don't feel guilty for that kind of lie when you ought to.

JPC

I feel guilty now, and tell me what you want me to do. Kiss me.

Erin

What? What?

JPC

What'd you say?

Erin

Oh, okay, it's happening. Oh, I talked through that kiss. A classic mistake.

JPC

You know when you talk through a kiss? Oh yeah, I talk through that kiss.

Adal

Hey, do you mind if we talk through that kiss real quick?

JPC

Yeah, let's take that back and talk through that kiss.

Erin

Do some pointers on that kiss.

00:13:48

JPC

I do pointers when I kiss too. I do like two pointers in the eyes, one pointer in the butt.

Adal

I want to see one pointer in the butt. I made KJ laugh. I want to see a 30 second scene where it's the two of you, you're at a kiss concert, Erin you're talking through the kiss, and you're the members of fish. You're Trey Nastasio and Mike Gordon. Okay, I'll be Nastaggio and you'd be Gorbin or whatever.

JPC

Ooh. What a convoluted premise.

Erin

Yeah. Oh God, this concert's loud, but I'm gonna talk through it. I'm gonna talk through this. Hey bud, have we ever kissed? I can't remember. Have we ever kissed? I get so high at our concerts, their secondaries.

JPC

Has fish ever kissed at a fish concert? You know Trey, Nastabio, I don't think we have ever kissed.

Erin

Well, should we try kissing and kiss? Is that, I don't know, cliche? What's my name? Goobles.

00:14:51

Adal

Same. Goobles? You know two of the famous fish bandmates, Goobles and Gary? Goobles and Gary? I think I got it. I got it. Here we go. A Keaton stamp collector who specializes in U.S. stamps saw an advertisement offering a complete set of early U.S. stamp... P.S. I guess we're just getting into main riddles. What? Is this just a main riddle? I think so. If it's a main riddle, maybe you should get some lobster with that.

Erin

Oh, and if I tear muscled because I didn't warm up properly.

Adal

You don't tear mussels, you scoop them out and then you... Wow, this really is a main riddle. A Kean stamp collector who specializes in US stamps saw an advertisement offering a complete set of early US stamps for a fraction of what it was worth. He quickly bought it. Although it was a genuine splendid collection and a real bargain, he was angry, not pleased. What was going on?

JPC

The stamps were already on letters. Nope.

00:15:51

Erin

Damn it! They weren't actually American.

Adal

Oh yeah, they were the... No, it says the collection was genuine. It was a splendid collection, a real bargain.

JPC

And they were American stamps? Yeah. Not British stamps.

Erin

They'd already been licked. Look at me, they had already been lit.

JPC

Wow, big eyes. He bought a copy of Stamped, which is off-Broadway Stomp.

Erin

Stomp is off-Broadway.

Adal

Welcome everyone to Stamped. Thank you for your tickets. I want to let you know that Stamped is past tense. And it's just one guy with a broom. And he's legit cleaning. He's like, I'm sincerely the guy That's art baby, that's art.

Erin

Oh my god, Stamped is just tip cleaning and people are like, make noise! And he's like, no, no.

Adal

No, please. He starts to take out the trash and I'm like, yeah, that's the ticket.

JPC

And he's like, no, I really am taking out the uh... Are you really trying hard to get stamps.com to sponsor this show? So you're doing more stamp oriented things to break in additional content?

00:16:58

Erin

No, Stamped was two hours ago. This is Stamped. I cleaned up. And you bought tickets. And when I saw Stamped, it was at... Like really late, like in the deep afternoon on a Sunday and we had already been in New York.

JPC

The deep afternoon, like 9, 10 o'clock at night. You know, evening.

Erin

My drama club had already been.

JPC

Well, let's all be careful. We're getting into the deep afternoon.

Erin

My drama club had already been there for a weekend. Everyone was so tired. So people were falling asleep in the very warm stomp theater, then waking up with the jolt. You just saw like an audience, people nodding off and they'd be like, trash cans are being banged together.

JPC

Yeah, Stomp, I feel like it would be a bad show to nap during.

Erin

Oh yeah, the worst. Not a pleasant nap.

Adal

So Stamped is the past tense of Stomp. Blown Man Group?

JPC

Is that a fun show to see? Blown Man Group sounds like a dad's rights organization. Talk to a lawyer. She can't take your kids. She's got to put... Erin is under the table laughing. She's got to put marshmallows in her mouth.

00:18:12

Adal

Oh my god.

Erin

Why did I went through my nose?

Adal

One of our live shows, we have to do stamped and blown man group.

Erin

What does that mean?

Adal

Hi Riddle Riddle.

JPC

Yes.

Erin

I mean, it was good. It was good, but I would have rather had sex.

Adal

No way preferable to sex.

Erin

Oh, but if I mean, oh.

Adal

Oh my God, I actually can't breathe.

JPC

You are too... We can't do two scenes without you. Yes, we can.

Adal

You two are, you're like maybe 13, 14. Okay. You live in New York. Your parents got you your first Broadway tickets. It was for Blown Man Group. It's the deep afternoon, and you are talking about just coming from that show. And we're home, we're in New York alone, right? Or we're with our parents. You're home alone too. Gotcha.

00:19:23

Erin

Oh man. Times square is pretty overwhelming, huh? Where should we eat? Can we talk about what just happened there? I can't. I can't. I don't think Mom and Dad... Can we talk about what just happened there?

JPC

Mom and Dad sent us to that thing.

Erin

Yeah, they were misguided, they were confused.

JPC

They must have known. They must have wanted us to know.

Erin

No, no.

JPC

Is this about what we did?

Erin

Hold on, just, I'm gonna throw up in this.

JPC

Because I think that one of us is adopted and that's why it was okay. You promised, you promised you'd never mention that again. Hey, you just threw up on my baby.

Erin

Oh sorry, I thought your baby was a trash can man.

Adal

That's fine, it's New York, bye.

Erin

You promised you would never talk about that.

JPC

Look, okay, what we did was wrong, it was against God, okay?

Erin

You know what, I would have rather had sex. What? Than what we did.

JPC

Hold on, what did you think we did?

Erin

Oh, what do you think we did?

JPC

We'll both say it on the count of three. One, two, three. We learned to jump rope.

Erin

What? What'd you say?

JPC

When we were learning to jump rope, we were hanging our uncle. I just told you it was jump rope because it's a game and I'm 14 and you're 13.

00:20:24

Erin

Who gave those blue men blow jobs? Who gave them blow jobs? Is everything blue?

JPC

We have to go backstage and ask. It's the only, we have to go backstage and ask. Excuse me, sir? Yes. You're one of the blown men, correct? That's correct. I'm sorry, are you crying? You're so good. What was so good? The blowjob? The show is over. Oh no, but the blowjob was so good.

Erin

Sir, we got some questions.

JPC

Yeah. We're two kids from New York. We're home alone too. Oh. And we just want to know that two and a half hour show that we saw on stage where you were all dissecting in vivid detail the blowjobs you just received. Was it real?

Adal

What do you mean? Or was it acting? No, we got blown. Wow. Did you see those three people who walked out with blue all over their lips? Yeah.

Erin

Wait. We were hoping that you'd have some acting tips because we're having to act at home right now like we didn't do a bad thing.

00:21:24

JPC

Weedland had a jump rope. Oh. You killed our uncle.

Erin

You killed our uncle.

JPC

What? Uncle Vanya?

Erin

We killed our uncle.

JPC

Dus. But not yet. Uncle Vanya.

Erin

Good job getting blown.

Adal

Zayden! We need to create our own line of cards, like greeting cards, and one of them just needs to be good job getting blown.

Erin

Oh, what a romantic card. Hey, you came up with it. I know, I'm just saying.

JPC

You'll get 35 cents on every dollar. Also, Spencer's gift would sell a good job getting blown card. Easy, easy, easy.

Erin

I hope to always get that card, but never give it. High fives.

JPC

High fives. High fives. High fives. Got blown. Take five. Okay, is there an answer to this, Riddle? Yes.

Adal

I don't remember the riddle. Here we go. A stamp collector who specializes in U.S. stamps saw an advertisement offering a complete set of early U.S. stamps for a fraction of what it was worth. He quickly bought it, and although it was a genuine splendid collection and a real bargain, he was angry, not pleased. So after he got the collection, he was very upset.

00:22:27

JPC

It's not U.S. stamps, it's stamps for us magazine.

Adal

Correct. So it stamps from Us Magazine. It's also stamps from This Is Us. Yes.

JPC

So he got a full set of This Is Us stamps, which is not what he wanted. He wanted state stamps.

Erin

I don't know. I give up.

Adal

Can you give a hint, maybe? A hint is... Were the stamps worthless? What was it? Were the stamps that he got worthless?

Erin

All stamps are worthless.

Adal

That's true. No, the stamps were... It says, it's a splendid collection and a real bargain. So they were very valuable. Fuck. Did he already have him? There you go. He did? He already? But I need a full, I need you to back that up. Okay.

JPC

He was a stamp collector of US stamps. He got a full, it was a full collection?

Adal

Mm-hmm. He got it for a fraction of what it was worth.

JPC

Uh, I don't, I have no idea.

Erin

I don't know, I'm sorry.

Adal

Yeah. What's the answer? I have no idea. The man had recently left his wife to live with his mistress. The angry wife had advertised the man's prize stamp collection for sale. He quickly bought his own stamps to stop anyone else from doing so. Wow. Okay. So he bought his own stamps. He already had these stamps. I would like to see a scene. Sponsored by stamps.com.

00:23:44

Erin

Yes. Um, JPC, you are opening a box of stamps. You are the mistress, Adal.

JPC

Wait, wait, wait. I'm the mistress.

Erin

You're the man opening the stamps. You're the mistress. You're also there.

JPC

Unbelievable. Oh my god. What is it? These are the stamps from Henrietta. Oh. Yeah.

Adal

Mikey.

JPC

Yeah. You know what she did? What? She put them all together in one big stamp. Are you familiar with the concept of pogs?

Adal

Those are those new creatures in the new Star Wars.

JPC

No, those are porgs. Yeah, those are little penguins.

Adal

What? No. Bethany, those are porgs. No, porgs are the things in Star Trek where they kind of replicate you, but they have like a metal eye.

JPC

You're such a nerd. You drive me crazy. I love you. I love you so much. I love you. Are you familiar with the concept of pogs? Blow me. I'll give you a greeting card later. Henrietta. Henrietta stamped all my stamps together. I don't want this slide. I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. I'm going to call her.

00:24:45

Adal

Wait, wait, wait, Mikey. I think I know what this is. Did you know that the word stamp or stamps, did you know that that's an acrostic? Yeah, for what? Somebody tell anybody.

JPC

My pussy. Oh, yeah. All right. I guess this is happening. Let me just go ahead.

Erin

Ring, ring, ring, ring.

JPC

I talked through that. Sorry. It's Henrietta. Hold on. I know it's her. Hello? This is Mikey.

Erin

Oh, is this asshole?

JPC

No, it's Mikey, Henrietta. It's Mikey.

Erin

Oh, this sounds like a, like a butthole to me.

JPC

You pogged my stamps.

Erin

Oh, did I pog your stamp?

JPC

You pogged my stamps.

Erin

I didn't Star Wars animal your stamps. The ones with the big eyes that are so cute with the big eyes.

JPC

Those are porgs. I hope you end up in this lamb.

Erin

I hope you end up in hell.

JPC

Turn me on so much.

Erin

I'm going to talk through this kiss. You like that? You like when I talk through kisses?

JPC

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:25:45

Erin

Yeah. Bye.

Adal

Did you know that kiss is an acronym?

JPC

Shut up, baby.

Adal

Nice and sweet. The perfect crime. The perfect crime. Talking through a kiss. Well, let's take a quick break and reflect on the first half of the show.

JPC

Okay, and we're all gonna write our personal essays about what this first half of the show meant to us. What does it do?

Adal

By the end of this break?

Erin

Yeah. What?

Adal

What's that? You're gonna cheat on JPC?

Erin

I'm gonna cheat on Adal. I'm gonna cheat on JPC and then off of Adal.

JPC

Cheating on someone other than cheating off of someone would be the ultimate cheat. No, no, no. You ever watch a good place? Cheaties, the ultimate cheat.

Adal

Oh, yeah.

Erin

Hashtag Cheaty Meaty. And we'll be back in a second.

Adal

Be back. Hey, Erin. You're a pretty unique person, would you agree?

00:26:49

Erin

Yeah, I'm pretty and unique.

Adal

You're unique.

Erin

Okay.

Adal

Or are you nitty? Yeah. What do you sleep on?

Erin

Um, sometimes it's just like a bunch of newspapers stacked on top of each other of like when I've been in the news. Um, and sometimes it's JPC. That's a pretty thin amount of newspapers.

Adal

Oh, okay, yeah.

Erin

Local girl falls downstairs.

Adal

What? I said local girl falls downstairs. Does it on purpose, goes to jail. Well, Erin, because of your unique, uh, 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. 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.

00:27:54

JPC

You took the Helix Sleep quiz, Erin, and you got a don't sleep, right?

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 100 nights risk-free.

JPC

They have a 10-year warranty? There is a little loophole here because they say 100 nights, but you also get the 100 days as well. So you can sleep at the mattress 24 hours a day for 100 days.

Adal

And for me specifically, for Adal Rifai, those are Arabian days and Arabian nights.

JPC

That's not something any of the rest of us feel comfortable saying.

00:28:57

Erin

And if you sleep next to a partner, half the mattress can be for you, and the other half, the mattress can be for your partner.

JPC

Or, you know, you can 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 pillows in between my legs.

Erin

How I sleep is, you know, when you get someone in that like choke hold, um, like with your, with your leg.

JPC

Oh, like Zena 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. And we are back. We kissed through that whole break. And we're going to start with JPC's essay.

00:30:05

JPC

Yes, okay.

Erin

Who do you think is the best kisser of the three of us?

JPC

What's that? It can't be me. I would never bet on myself in a kissing contest. I wouldn't.

Erin

I mean either.

JPC

You would bet on me?

Erin

I wouldn't bet on you. Or me. Or Adal.

Adal

I have very nice lips, but I'm a terrible kisser. Yeah.

JPC

I got great lips. I just do not know where to put them. I just blow it up. You blow air?

Adal

Yeah, kissing me is like kissing like a tire valve.

JPC

The easiest way to do this, the easiest non partial way to do this, non partial, impartial, the easiest impartial way to do this is to set up a simple survey using SurveyMonkey of all of our exes, collect the data, publish the data. I think the people are screaming, they are clambering in the streets for the data. We have to let the data speak for itself.

Erin

Well, it's a little bit complicated because JPC and I have the same exes.

JPC

Yes.

Adal

And they all live in Texas.

JPC

How about we do this?

Adal

The next live show we have, we set up a John Wilkes kissing booth. I would love to take a shot. Okay. Let's get back into some riddies. Oh, good. The show. Yeah. Here we go. Luigi's is an excellent restaurant with a fine reputation. Okay. However, one day all the people who had lunch there were sick. There was nothing wrong with the food. What happened?

00:31:22

JPC

If someone doesn't wash their hands properly, they can contaminate all the food. So there's nothing wrong with the food, but poop particles get into the food.

Erin

It's the water. Something's wrong with the water. Something's wrong with the cleaning products they've used. Something's wrong with the building.

JPC

Is there anything wrong with the things that they use to cook the food? The people. What? The people that used to cook the food.

Erin

The food is people. The food is actually, they've been cooking people.

Adal

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the food because they're people.

JPC

Ain't nothing wrong with eating people. I'm just a riddle book advocating for something weird. Luigi's, so everyone who eats, they get sick.

Adal

Uh, that day, yes. But there's that day. Well, yeah. So, uh... Not that night. So all the people that ate there that night... Everyone who had lunch there was sick. There was nothing wrong with the food. What about the deep, deep afternoon? Deep afternoon? We're talking like 10 p.m.? 10 p.m., 10 p.m. You know, there's pre-afternoon, afternoon, and the deep afternoon.

JPC

The deep afternoon.

Adal

Pre-afternoon can still get you pregnant.

JPC

Uh... So we don't know... We don't know... Hmm. This is tough.

00:32:27

Erin

Did I get close with any of my hundreds of guesses?

JPC

No.

Erin

Really? Seriously?

JPC

I don't know. Adal, you have to tell me. Did I get close with any of my guesses? Did he get a quarter with his arms folded across his chest like a box of the child?

Erin

You stubborn little kid, did I get it? No. Did I get it? No. Did I get it?

Adal

Yeah. I got it? No.

Erin

Oh.

Adal

Did he close? I want to see a scene. No!

JPC

You take two more big bites of broccoli before you get a scene.

Erin

No, that's you're faking it.

JPC

And you were talking to the kids.

Erin

No, that's not broccoli. Here comes the airplane.

JPC

That's broccolini.

Erin

Here comes the airplane and that's unrelated and it's crashing into your mouth.

Adal

I want to see a scene in GPC. You're going to be Luigi, but the Mario character. He's a Luigi character. What's up? He doesn't tie to his brother's identity. Well, they're the Mario brothers, so their last name is Mario. Yes, canonically. There's Luigi Mario and Mario Mario. That's correct, right? Yeah, for the movie, yeah. That sucks. Then Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. And Erin, you can have your pick of anyone in the Mario universe. Who do you want to be?

00:33:37

Erin

I'm not good at any of the voices.

Adal

Um, I need you to pick.

Erin

Yoshi.

Adal

Okay, here we go. And you're in a restaurant. You're opening a restaurant. Opening a restaurant. You're opening a restaurant first day and you're nervous.

JPC

Yoshi! What do you mean a Yoshi? I told you to make chicken picate. Yoshi? Yoshi! Look at all this chicken picate! It's all unassembled!

Erin

Yoshi! Yoshi!

JPC

Yoshi! Yoshi!

Erin

Yoshi!

JPC

Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi!

Erin

Yoshi!

JPC

Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi!

Erin

Yoshi!

JPC

Yoshi! Yoshi? What? Yoshi? You're in the afternoon off. Yoshi. You go donate a plasma. Yoshi. What? Okay fine, Yoshi.

00:34:47

Adal

You take the afternoon off and you think about what you do. And we got to a blood donation clinic.

Erin

Yoshi!

Adal

Uh, don't be too happy. I have your test results back.

Erin

Yoshi.

Adal

Well, no, it's not good. We took your plasma and we ran some tests. I'm sorry?

Erin

Yoshi?

Adal

My wife?

Erin

Yoshi.

Adal

Don't eat.

Erin

Yeah, I see.

Adal

You're a dinosaur and a coward.

Erin

Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi.

Adal

You have bone cancer.

Erin

Yoshi?

Adal

What was that?

Erin

Yoshi?

Adal

No, incurable.

Erin

Yoshi?

Adal

Oh?

Erin

Yoshi. Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi.

Adal

A small penis. No! No, I have a quite large penis. Yoshi, Yoshi. I give my wife deep afternoon.

Erin

Yoshi.

Adal

We're still going to take your plasma, but we're going to just dump it into the ocean to make an example out of you.

Erin

Yoshi! You just laid an egg. I did.

Adal

I need you to consult with my co-doctor here, Waluigi. Wow!

00:35:53

Erin

This is a baby!

Adal

Sorry, let me remove this baby. Waluigi, would you come in here? Yes, absolutely. I think the course of chemotherapy is the most aggressive thing.

Erin

I made such an asshole choice to not say real words, I'm sorry. For those of you who hate improvisers, do things like that to make other improvisers mad.

Adal

Yoshi, Yoshi, Yoshi. I think most people just hate us.

Erin

Us? Us three specifically?

JPC

If you hate us, that doesn't mean you hate him. I think most people are thinking about me all the time and that's why when I'm walking by a person on this street I'll say, stop thinking about me! True.

Adal

So, do we have a guest on Luigi's? Yeah, we had mini-guesses and you just sat there like a smug bug in a rug, nodding your freaking little beard, being like... I will say JPC was closest when he said there was something wrong with the water.

Erin

I said that.

Adal

Oh, I thought JPC said that. No, I did not.

Erin

I said that there was poop on people's... We don't give credit to women here. It is a policy that is written on the wall.

JPC

I wrote Believe Women and then I crossed up the B and it just said, leave women where they are. Under the ceiling of glass.

00:37:01

Adal

Yes, what was it? Under the ceiling. So water was closest. Water was closest? Yeah.

JPC

Oh, it's a amusement park. It's a water park. That's even closer. Luigi's is a... He's in a pipe. In Venice. It's in a pipe like a Mario Brothers pipe. No. So it's water?

Adal

Water's close. Does it have to do with washing your hands? No.

Erin

Does it have to do with drinking water?

Adal

No.

Erin

Cooking in water? No.

???

Soup?

JPC

I don't know. The pipes? No.

Erin

Raining, it's raining. No. It's cold.

JPC

There's ice. The whole restaurant flood, nobody actually can eat. Closer? Closer with the whole restaurant flooded?

Adal

Now imagine the restaurant's flooded, and then imagine all the water seeps into the floor and goes below. To hell? The sub-basement flooded? The water doesn't go to hell. Was the sub-pop working? The restaurant was on a ship. And the ship sank. And the whole people got very sick.

00:38:02

Erin

You would be so mad if we read that riddle to you.

Adal

All the people got sick from death. You know how you get sick from dying?

Erin

Is that really it? It was on a ship and they sunk?

Adal

No, it didn't sink. It was just on a ship.

Erin

So they're all seasick. Okay, this makes sense to me.

JPC

One of the sickest times I've ever been in my entire life was right when I was dying. I was so sick. How'd you get out of it? I lived. I found Christ's love and it saved me pulling back from the edge.

Erin

I went on a cruise once and I was so seasick the whole time. It was unreal. Where'd you go to cruise? We were supposed to go to... Who's we? The whole ship was supposed to go to Bermuda.

Adal

You were dating a whole ship.

Erin

Yeah, it was a lot of middle-aged people.

Adal

I would ship Erin with the big boat. I ship it.

Erin

Well, yeah, it was exhausting. It was a lot of people in their late 40s gambling and it's hard to date that type of person when there's 150 of them.

Adal

I want to see a scene where Erin is dating a Carnival cruise ship. JPC, you will play the cruise ship. Erin, you will play yourself.

00:39:08

Erin

Cool. Oh, but let me move this baby. Hi.

JPC

Are you coming aboard?

Erin

Well, I haven't been coming a lot, so why would I come aboard?

Adal

Sorry, I dropped my drums.

Erin

Are you looking for Stomp? Because it's over there.

Adal

Stamped. Looking for Stamped. Yeah, we can't afford Stomp on this cruise line. And I do have a Bindle, so I am a tramp stamp.

Erin

Off with you now.

Adal

We're all done with you. That's a wrap on you.

Erin

And that's a wrap on that guy.

JPC

And that's a wrap on that guy.

Adal

Well, my name is Gary and I'm here to say... Look at all that shoulder work.

JPC

He is really going at it. All right Gary, we're all done with you. And that's a wrap on Gary. Thank you. That's a set wrap on Gary. I'm sorry, you were talking about coming.

???

I'm having fun.

00:40:09

Adal

I'm having fun too. Here we go. Yes. On a cold winter's day, drivers found that sheep from the fields nearby kept coming. I'm so sorry. On a cold winter's day, drivers found that master sheep from the fields nearby kept coming onto the road. Coming spelled the normal way.

JPC

Yes. C-U-M.

Adal

There is no snow and the road was not warmer than the fields, but whenever the master sheep were ushered back to the fields, they quickly returned to the road. Why?

JPC

They wanted to die.

Erin

It's so cold they want to get hit by cars. All the bugs from the ground crawled to the top of the ground and started eating their feet.

Adal

Wait. Dead stop.

Erin

No. You knew I was gonna say that.

Adal

All the bugs from the ground came out. All the bugs from ground. All the bugs from ground. And then they start eating the sheep. All the bugs from ground. And they eat the sheep.

Erin

And they eat the sheep.

Adal

So you're saying all the bugs from the ground came up to the ground and started to eat the shit.

Erin

I'm not really saying this. I don't know.

Adal

Who is this saying it?

JPC

Let me take off this mask ripped.

00:41:11

Erin

It's me, Adal. There's two.

JPC

Ah yes, this Adal is that old man who runs the amusement park in town. It's Adal and Waddle. And you would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you and your frigid dog.

Adal

Your shrill, shrill dog. I like that Mario, Evil Mario is Wario. So you take the M and turn it upside down. Yeah. But Evil Luigi is Wah Luigi. So they're just like, well Waa worked for Mario. So let's just take the WA sound and put it in front of... Yoshi has one too? Woshi.

Erin

Seriously?

JPC

Wins a switch?

Erin

Wowser. Oh I have a lot in common with wins a switch.

JPC

I would love it if Bowser had an alternate good guy Bowser called Wowser.

Erin

Wowser. Wowser! I love when Wowser comes to the party. Wowser makes every party better.

JPC

He brings so much coke, he's so fun. Wing Woopa, Wowser.

Erin

He's so fun. Okay, why do they keep leaving the grass to go onto the road?

Adal

Is the road warm because of like cars and friction and stuff? They're saying the road was not warmer than the fields. So the fields on the roads are equal temperature.

00:42:16

Erin

They're not freezing over because people keep driving on them. The light. They wanted to see light. There's light on the roads.

Adal

The sheeps wanted to see the light. Wouldn't they just go to Vegas?

Erin

I guess so.

JPC

Is there a scare sheep hanging in the field that is scaring the sheep into the road? There is no scare sheep. So these sheep are just wandering into the frickin' road. And we don't know why?

Adal

I don't know. I want you two to be your two, where is it set? It doesn't say. Where do we find the most sheep? Whales?

JPC

Where's the most sheep?

Adal

New Zealand?

JPC

No, that's where we find the most whales.

Adal

Where do we find the most whales?

JPC

Sheep?

Adal

You're a fucking idiot. I'm trapped inside of a whale. You mean whale's the country?

Erin

Yes, I'm trapped here. But I'm also inside of a whale.

Adal

I'm the most unlikable person here. My name is Jonah. So yeah, so we're in Wales. So you're in Wales and you're two detectives and you're trying to solve this. No, it's not a crime, but you're just trying to solve why all these sheep are going to work. So we're bored. You're bored. Well, you're, you're detectives in Wales.

00:43:23

JPC

Our prerogative is to solve crimes, but now we're just trying to solve sheep riddles. So we're just the same two people. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

Adal

You'll be sheep detective. Got it. So you're like private sheeps? Yeah. And you answer to a message.

Erin

We're sheep.

Adal

Sure. You're what? We're sheep.

Erin

We are sheep. We are sheep. We're not just, okay.

JPC

All right, Detective Wolf.

Erin

What?

JPC

What do we got here?

Erin

Well, not another murder. That's for sure. This town's so sleepy. Wouldn't it be cool, huh? There's some action, huh?

JPC

We keep talking about this. We're not gonna frame a person for murder just so we can do something with our lives.

Erin

I'm bored. I'm bored. When I became a detective, a sheep detective, I thought, it's gonna be like the movie.

JPC

You don't have to say sheep detective. We're sheep and we're detectives.

Erin

Well, okay, then why don't I have to say it?

JPC

You're not like a sheep librarian, you're just a librarian.

Erin

No, I'm a sheep detective.

JPC

I know that you're a sheep. I'm not saying that you're a sheep librarian.

Erin

I'm bored. I'm bored. I'm bored.

00:44:23

JPC

Fine. Fine. We'll kill a sheep.

Erin

Maybe I'll just kill you, huh?

JPC

What? Oh yeah? Maybe I'll kill you.

Erin

Maybe I'll kill you. You know what you hear me for my birthday? Kill someone. Have me solve it.

JPC

Fine. I'll kill someone, but if you can't solve it in 24 hours, I get to pick where we go to lunch. Wolf Shepherd in my office now.

Adal

Okay.

???

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

Adal

Alright, close the door behind you.

???

Screech!

Adal

Okay, kill that owl.

???

Blam!

Adal

Alright, why do you think I brought you two in here?

Erin

Because we're sheep.

Adal

Because we're the best damn detectives you've got. Because you're the best damn detectives I've got. And I'm not just talking sheep detectives, I'm talking all detectives. Well sure.

Erin

Are you gonna put us on a person murder?

Adal

A what?

Erin

A person murder.

Adal

A person murder. I'll put you on a poison murder when you solve the sheep murder that's happening. I heard the two of you were saying I'm gonna kill you. You of course being spelled E-W-E, which of course is another name for some type of sheep. Uh-huh, yeah.

00:45:33

JPC

I don't know where I'm going with this, but... Someone, by the way, got real mad at us in a review for not knowing enough about sheep.

Adal

Really?

JPC

Yeah, they specifically called that how we didn't know what a you was. We had a review about us? What, are we a Broadway show? A review. Oh. It was a review written about us.

Erin

Spelled like sheep. Spelled like sheep. Well, we're gonna solve this case for you.

Adal

You can't pull the wool over my eyes.

Erin

Chief. Huh? Boo. Oh, I mean it. Bah.

JPC

Yeah, that sucked.

Erin

We're gonna solve this or you could have my badge, my gun, and my wool.

Adal

You two singing Kid Rock? Oh God.

Erin

And scene.

Adal

And sheep.

Erin

And sheep. I don't know what the answer is.

Adal

That's the least happy I've ever been with a scene.

Erin

Really?

Adal

Just my part. Have we ever done, have we solved a single riddle this episode? No. Well, we've only had a single riddle. Yeah. So why do we think these sheep kept coming out to the road?

Erin

No, the riddle was all married. That's why we're not getting it. That's why we can't get a single riddle. All the riddles are married.

00:46:34

JPC

Yeah, these are all married riddles. I could get a married riddle. No, you couldn't. I could pull a married riddle. No, you couldn't. I could ab-suffer someone who could pull a married riddle. No, you couldn't.

Erin

That's my goal.

Adal

Why do we think these sheep kept coming back to the road?

Erin

I don't know. It's not light.

JPC

Is it like a pond? Is it like they were sheep sick or some shit like that? Yeah, they were sheeps. Was it because they're just fucking sheep and they'll follow along with whatever anyone tells them? No, those are lemmings.

Erin

Oh, one sheep, yeah.

JPC

One sheep what?

Erin

They got herded there.

JPC

One sheep pops. I heard that, yeah.

Erin

The wind was blowing and the wind herded them towards the road. Shut up. Shut up.

Adal

No.

Erin

I don't know.

Adal

You know how when you have a flock of animals and you're scared the wind will take them off?

???

Okay.

Adal

Was the road like cold?

Erin

That was a hint.

Adal

Shepherd ever. I had this 50 head of cattle, but I gotta keep them inside because the wind might take them. Well that's true of a tornado. Somebody said something about there not being snow because of the cars. That's partially true because constant motion would keep the snow from accumulating too much, but there's still snow there.

00:47:42

Erin

Salt.

Adal

Yes. They want to lick the salt. The sheep keep coming to the road because they like to eat the salt, put on the road to stop it from freezing.

JPC

I thought the salt that they put on the road was bad for sheep.

Erin

Blue. Salt is blue.

JPC

That's like meth from... It's meth.

Erin

Meth.

Adal

Yeah. Blown sheep. I'm blown. Da ba dee da ba da. Da ba dee da ba da. If I were sheep, I would die. We ready for another Riddle?

JPC

Oh my god, that's a great idea. Die the sheep, that way you don't have to die the wool.

Erin

Oh my god.

Adal

Holy shit. I love it. You two want to do another riddle?

Erin

Let's see.

Adal

Good to see, what do you have going on?

JPC

I have to pick up my dad from prison. He was there to get revenge. A guard. What do you have going on?

Erin

I thought you and I could maybe do lunch.

Adal

Erin, it's the deep after noon. While digging your garden, a woman unearthed a large metal box filled with money and jewelry. For seven years, she spent none of the money and told no one what she had found. Then she suddenly bought a new house, a new car, and a fur coat. How come? How come? So the only, that was a short story and then just the riddle. How come? I'm sexually excited. Well, when the testicles, uh, Go ahead.

00:49:05

Erin

This is a murder riddle. So she was waiting for that person to die, the person who it belonged to.

JPC

Seven years is a specific amount of time. The seven years matters.

Adal

JPC is right. Seven years is a specific amount of time. Let it be known. I know that you hate admitting it, but sometimes when I'm right I'm right.

JPC

Seven years, that's time. That's time baby. Scruff McGruff, Chicago Wales noise. Seven years is time. Scruff McGruff was a crime dog that didn't want us to do drugs, but if you were a talking dog, you would be doing drugs every day.

Adal

Did you know that there was a baseball player called Fred McGriff and they called him the crime dog? Really? Did they call him the crime dog? He played for Atlanta Braves. That's pretty cool. Yeah, but his name is Fred McGriff and they called him McGriff the crime dog. Nice.

???

Okay.

Adal

Did he do crimes too? Yeah, no, he was a baseball player for one month and then he murdered someone. He murdered someone and he never paid taxes on him. Yeah, there's no David Justice.

00:50:10

Erin

Okay, so she dug up in the backyard.

JPC

A large metal box full of

Adal

That's how long it takes for a body to decompose.

JPC

What was that?

Erin

How long does it take for a body to decompose fully?

Adal

You think I know that? Yes. Yeah. 410 days.

JPC

How do you measure a body decomposing?

Adal

In eyeballs, in skin cells, in liquid organs. 400 ten days. It's really hard to stretch out that number. As long as it called 365 days.

Erin

I would have gone 410 days but you went 410.

Adal

Way too early. What's the past tense, rent?

Erin

Rented.

Adal

Foreclosed. Rant. Okay, so it's a use that was a large metal box. While digging a garden, a woman unearthed a large metal box filled with money and jewelry. For seven years she spent none of the money and told no one what she had found. Then she suddenly bought a new house, a new car, and a fur coat. How come?

00:51:25

Erin

Am I getting close with any of my guesses?

Adal

Your guesses were how long does it take to make a body decomposed?

Erin

No, like does it have to do with whoever it belonged to, like waiting for them to be out of the way?

Adal

She spent none of it. She spent none of it for seven years and told no one about it for seven years.

JPC

Did she put it in like a seven year CD or something where she like invested it all?

Adal

Yeah, she was financially, she was fiscally responsible.

JPC

Okay. That's a really good idea then. It was like, um... She would still have to declare where she got that money though. Or else the federal old Uncle Sam, Brock, who's in Obamacare, would start asking questions.

Adal

It's like that Stephen King prison movie. Uh, Shashankredemshi.

Erin

Shashankredemshi. Shashank redeemed. It's nothing to see here.

Adal

We need just past tense movies. Movies, Broadway shows. Please tweet us past tense versions. Has this been done? No. No? I don't know.

Erin

I've never heard of it.

Adal

But on Twitter has it been done? I've never heard of like Star Wars. We need the past tense version of any movie TV show or book or play.

00:52:30

Erin

Hashtag what?

Adal

How do we find that? Hashtag past to the future? No. Hashtag. Hashtag deep after Ling. Hashtag stamped. Hashtag stamped. Yeah. Hashtag stamped.

Erin

Cool. Okay. Can you give us a hint?

JPC

Was the box important? Was the metal, was the large metal box important?

Erin

Did she wear the jewelry? Why was jewelry mentioned?

JPC

It says nothing about the jewelry except she didn't spend the money.

Adal

But that's not part of it.

Erin

It's not part of it.

Adal

She spent the jewelry. She spent the jewelry?

Erin

That's how I walked the world.

JPC

Was what she bought the house and the car and everything with? Was the money what she bought that stuff with?

Adal

Yes.

JPC

Okay. So she was spending the money on that thing.

Adal

So she found this? Oh, I know. Do you?

JPC

Yeah, I think so. What is it? Is it one of these ones where she waited for her husband to die before she spent at all? No. Oh, fuck. It's always the other side of it.

00:53:53

Erin

But it's not horny enough yet to have sex. You know when you're horny but you're still like not quite there like you're still a little tired? A woman's body is a mystery to me. You know what might set me just right over the edge? Make me so horny? Oh yes. You know what might make me so horny? Could you drink this?

JPC

Okay, what is this? Let's see. Poison?

Erin

I feel like that would make me horny. Or you know what? Juggle knives. Oh, I would take, I would take my nighty off for a nap.

JPC

Ooh, the nighty. And then there's only three more layers until I can see bare human flesh. Well, bottoms up, I'll drink some of this poison. Oh, you're gonna do it. Oh, soapy lizard poison. I love a good soapy. Soapy yourself. Oh, okay. How you feeling? What's that? How are you feeling? Well, I'm still horny. I've been horny for 52 weeks.

Erin

All right.

JPC

Horny as the day I was born. Well, not that day. But I was.

00:54:57

Erin

But are you feeling, how's your stomach?

JPC

Oh, I could use a sandwich. Is that an offer?

Erin

No. Okay. All right. Okay.

JPC

How about you?

Erin

All right, you know what you should do? Take a little nap in the fireplace.

JPC

Oh, okay. Should I not choose my pet upstairs?

Erin

No, it's warm. It's warm in the fireplace.

JPC

Well, it's a lit fire.

Erin

Well, yeah.

JPC

Okay. Take a little nap in there. Alright, I'll just... I have a question.

Erin

Why are you so dumb? Huh? What? Why are you so dumb?

JPC

What makes you think I'm dumb, dear? I know every day you send me out to duel that you want me to die, you fed me poison and you want me to sleep in the fireplace. I'm not dumb. I just love my wife and I'll do anything for you. And if that makes me dumb, then I guess I'm the dumbest man alive, but not for very long. Now I'll go sleep in the fireplace.

Erin

Now I feel bad.

JPC

Don't. If my being dead makes you happy, then I want you to be happy.

Erin

You know what doesn't make me?

JPC

When I'm a ghost.

Erin

Horny. What?

00:55:57

JPC

I'm sorry?

Erin

What was that?

JPC

You're not horny.

Erin

No.

Adal

Oh, I thought of a good one. Past tense book. The stand would be the stood. No, I checked out. I was thinking of funny things to say. Do we have any thoughts on this?

Erin

I don't know.

Adal

The medal is part of it. And it was only money in jewels.

Erin

She had to wait for the box?

Adal

Was it Confederate money? Was there something with the currency? Wait, hold up. It had to do with the box?

Erin

What do you mean? Like the box that she found it in.

Adal

Yeah.

Erin

It had to do with that. Maybe. So maybe the box had to open. She couldn't get in the box. It was glass.

JPC

Could she get in the box? No.

Erin

She didn't get the code till seven years later. Disintegrated.

JPC

The box didn't have a code.

Erin

Disintegrated.

JPC

Did the box open after seven years? No. So it wasn't like a time capsule or something like that.

00:56:58

Adal

If it opened after seven years, she wouldn't have known that it was full of money and jewels.

JPC

So she did open it when she first got it out, saw that there was money and jewels. Could she have taken the money and jewels out when she first opened the box? Yes, and we'll say that she did.

Adal

She just didn't spend it. She just didn't spend it. She told nobody about it. Think about what's at play here. So a box full of jewels and money. In her garden. Where do we know this? Where have we... Pirates. Yeah, there you go. Now follow up that thread.

Erin

Treasure chest.

Adal

Pull on that thread. Yeah, pull on that thread. Seven years? No, Erin, you're undoing my shirt. Pull on the thread.

Erin

Well, there's a thread on there. Okay. Well, now there's just a bunch of threads.

JPC

You shouldn't leave loose threads on your shirt if you don't want people to pull them.

Erin

Okay, so it's a treasure chest. She has to wait till she's safe.

Adal

So Pirates treasure chest, where would you find a treasure chest? On an island.

Erin

Okay, follow up with that. Stuck on the island for seven years.

Adal

Yep. Oh, she got rescued. So she was... Shipwrecked. She was shipwrecked on an island. She found buried treasure. She couldn't do anything with it. Couldn't tell anybody about it. And she kind of made a home and a garden. And then eventually she was rescued. And when she got back to land, she spent her money. Oh, it did say she was digging in her garden, right?

00:58:09

Erin

You telling me that we could have been doing pirate voices for the last several minutes and you haven't?

Adal

You fucking idiot.

Erin

Are you telling me we could have been pirates? Let's see a scene where you're a pirate and you're like really leaning into like the cartoonish pirates and you're just trying to get your whole crew on board to be like a classical pirate.

JPC

And what part of your pirate crew?

Adal

Yar, welcome aboard me crew. Wow, swab the decks, grab your parrots, put your eye patches on. Oh, we're gonna sell the salty seas, Yar.

JPC

Wouldn't putting these eye patches on decrease the visibility on the sea?

Adal

Yar, no, Yar! Yarr. Short answer, Yarr. Long answer, Yarr.

JPC

I'm a sniper, so I just feel like this would really wreck my specific book.

Erin

Right, and we don't have a ton of food, and if we're having a parrot with us, isn't that like another mouth we need to feed?

00:59:11

Adal

Cool, yeah. Let me answer one question at the time.

JPC

Not really a question, just kind of a general comment.

Erin

Yeah, like a comment, suggestion.

JPC

Maybe a suggestion box would be a good thing.

Adal

Let me ask you a question. Why do you think a pirate hired a sniper?

JPC

Oh, I'm just a sniper for hire. I would never question why I was hired. I'm assuming to snipe.

Adal

To snipe? Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yar. Okay. Why would a pirate hire whatever you do? A cook? A cook? Why would a pirate hire a cook? To cook? Yar. I want to open up a restaurant on my boat called Luigi's.

JPC

It's just a thing of like, I hired you to snipe and cook, not talk type of thing. You are? Okay. Do you know what my favorite food is? Chicken parmesan. Not tar tar. I should have said tar tar. Do you know what my favorite food is?

Erin

Oh, here we go. What?

JPC

Tartare. Hold on, hold on. Are you implying that we're cutting that part out where you didn't come up with tartare? Well, I just want to live in a rally where chicken parmesan didn't exist.

01:00:22

Erin

It's too late.

JPC

Look, look. We want to be on this crew, okay?

Erin

What other food do you like?

JPC

Oh, what else do I like?

Adal

That's a deep vein. I like potato.

JPC

What's your favorite fast food?

Adal

Arrrrrrveeees.

Erin

And long gone chillers.

Adal

Oh, sorry, I like BK Breilers. GPC, I need to see a scene where Alan Alda is auditioning for a pirate called Wallen... Wallen Wilda? What?

Erin

Evil Alan Alda.

Adal

It's evil Alan Alda. And this is just going to be short. I just want to see Alan Alda play a pirate, but I thought it'd be fun to have a leon that it's evil Alan Alda. It's evil Alan Alda. Called W'al and W'allda.

JPC

Gotcha. All right. Let me see if I can do my... Okay. We're into it. All right. Now, if there's one thing I like, it's booty. And on this ship, we're all getting as much booty as we can mash. Did everybody get what I've done? Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm sorry? Please don't interrupt me when I'm in my zone. You gave me an idea. Okay.

01:01:41

Adal

And now I want to see W'al and W'alda do a character voice. Somebody draw that. Do a character voice for the Nintendo game Super Mash Brothers? Wait, what's the one that's the... That's right. Super Mash Brothers. Yeah, but Super Mash Brothers. And I'm doing a character voice? It's Nintendo characters, but they're all in the Korean War. And they... And this is a scene you want to see?

JPC

Yeah. War is hell. So pick up that big hammer and smash that toad creature with it. And that's a space man and oh boy, just a bunch of Japanese characters there. Oh, okay. Somebody stitched this guy up. He's bleeding. His organs have ruptured.

Erin

You know what I found out recently? Is that on Mash I never watched Mash. I never watched Mash. But I've never watched Mash. But there's a part in the show where Alan Alda kills a baby but he's like, I killed a chicken. And then when pressed further he's like, I killed a baby. The chicken was actually a baby. What? Alan Alda on the show killed on he was on a bus and he killed he was like I made this woman shut her chicken up because it was making too much noise and then she ended up killing the chicken and got smothered but really it was a baby.

01:03:01

Adal

In Mash, Alan Alda kills a baby?

JPC

I'm gonna look it up. From everything I know about Mash, it was like a dark dark comedy because it was about the Korean War which was not a cool war it wasn't like a fun punch Hitler war

Erin

Fun Punch Hitler War.

Adal

Yeah, World War II is the most fun war. Like in Cheers when Woody eats that kid.

JPC

Yeah, he eats that woman's kid. He rips that woman's kid. She comes into the bar and she's like, can kids come into this bar and Woody eats that kid so fast.

Adal

Yeah, two and a half minutes about that. Amputating the man's legs off.

Erin

Jesus. I would watch that.

JPC

Friends is about just murdering a bunch of Quakers.

Erin

It's in the last episode. What? After more questioning Hawkeye remembers telling the refugee to make the children, the chicken be quiet, and then the woman, that the woman killed the chicken.

Adal

Was the baby's name chicken? So the woman killed the chicken.

Erin

Yes, but it was the babe. He made a woman kill her own baby.

Adal

Wow. If you tell, hold up. That's why they call him Hawkeye. If you tell somebody to quiet their kids down and then the parent kills the kid, you didn't murder them. That's true.

01:04:10

Erin

It was a repressed memory. Oh, and there were refugees.

JPC

Yeah. I remember telling a parent at Chuck E. Cheese, because I was there supervising. I was a shift supervisor. I said, you better shut that kid up. And the parent shut them up in an attic for four or five years.

Erin

And that was on me.

Adal

I felt bad about that, but that was on me.

Erin

Anyway, sorry to share that. That's disturbing.

Adal

Is that why you're wearing that shirt? Because you worked at Chuck E. Cheese? Yeah. It says Chuck E. Cheese more like fuck me please.

JPC

So go to teapublic.com slash heyriddleriddle and pick up a fuck me please.

Adal

Chuck E. Cheese is more like fuck me please shirt. We will have them up as long as we are not being sued. Once we get a lawsuit we will cease and this is... We will double down. Here we go, we got another riddle. This one says a mother... Another riddle. A mother told her six year old daughter that her pet dog had been hit by a car and killed. The little girl burst into tears half an hour later the mother said the dog was quite well and that it was all a mistake. Why she do that? She said that the dog had been hit by a car. She told her daughter, she told her six year old daughter that her pet dog had been hit by a car and killed. The little girl burst into flames, burst into tears. Half an hour later the mother said the dog was quite well and that it was all a mistake. Why she do that? She was wrong.

01:05:38

Erin

She wanted to make sure her daughter could cry.

JPC

Yeah, this is a psychopath test. Why?

Erin

Because the daughter wasn't listening to her.

JPC

The daughter needed to cry because she ingested poison through her tear ducts. And the only way- She drank some lemonade and you had to piss off- She had to flush out the poison. She was trying to make her daughter cry. That was the goal that mom was trying to make the daughter cry.

Erin

For attention, for to get out of something. She went, okay, in order to get out of this thing, I gotta make you cry. But I'm not, you're not a good enough actress. You're not a good enough actress. You have to actually pull from.

JPC

Yeah, it was to audition for ET. Yep. Yeah. That little boy, have you seen that audition? The little boy's audition for ET. No. It is insane.

Erin

He's good.

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

YouTube search.

JPC

Yeah. He's amazing. He's amazing. What's the, what does he say at the end of No, at the very end of the audition, whoever's running it says something like, yeah, that's it or something like that.

Adal

Anyway, who says yeah, that's it?

01:06:39

JPC

The kids got it. That's the ticket baby? Yeah, he says that's the ticket baby.

Adal

GPC, what's the past tense of ET? Brute. E2? E2? E2 Brutus? E2 Brutus? F? But go on YouTube. Thanks for watching!

JPC

We got it. What if instead of E.T. phone home he said E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U.

Adal

E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U.

Erin

E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U.

Adal

E.T.F.U. E.T.F.U. He says, that's the sizzle and here's the steak and he hands the kid $10,000 to go buy him some steak. And then that guy grew up and he's in House on Haunted Hill and he's fine. Oh yeah, he's good now. What happened?

01:07:44

Erin

Why is he bad at acting?

Adal

Because he was only meant to act as a kid. So in House on Haunted Hill, he acts like he's seven years old. It's embarrassing. You were only meant to act as a kid.

Erin

Okay, so she needed to get her daughter to cry for some reason.

Adal

Yeah, but we got it. I mean, we basically got it. Oh, okay. She's auditioning? Yeah. Yeah. For a commercial for Ovaltine and stuff? So this is apparently based on a real story.

Erin

Oh wow.

Adal

Oh my god. That when she said her dog was killed, it was actually a baby.

Erin

Oh yeah, of course.

Adal

It was a repressed memory.

JPC

It was Alan Alda telling Shirley Temple, that's crazy.

Erin

Your dog's been killed. That's ultimate stage mom terrifying.

JPC

I mean, what year was that with Shirley Temple? That must have been 2015.

Erin

Animal crackers in my soup, one of the animals is my dog. My dog is dead of his animal soup. My dog is in my animal soup.

01:08:52

JPC

KJ, isolate that, put it at the beginning of every porn. That's the new intro to porn.

Erin

Everyone's like, oh, I'm not horny anymore.

JPC

Welcome to intro to porn. Put down your genitalia.

Erin

Pick up your pens. Put them up your penis.

JPC

Pick up your pens.

Erin

I would take that class from you.

JPC

Intro to board. GPC, do you have a thing to butt plug? What do I want to butt plug? Just a couple fingers up in there. No, I would like to plug my Twitter. You can find me at JPsofly. You can also find me on Instagram at sharkbarkman, where you will see pictures of spaghetti.

Adal

Not the food, my dear boy. You can follow me on Twitter at Adal Bibi. It's spelled like it sounds.

JPC

Adal Bibi. And that's the parody account that you run of the David Spade character from the SNL sketch where people are deboarding a plan. Gotcha.

01:09:54

Adal

Bibi. Rifai. You can check out other episodes of Hey Riddle Riddle that are...

JPC

Wow, that's the first time we've ever plugged that.

Adal

That are on iTunes or wherever you find your podcasts. You can check out Siblings Specular, Hello from the Magic Tavern. And I not only want people to tweet hashtag stamped with past tense pop culture-isms, but also I want people to make any celebrity into a evil Nintendo character by adding a WA in front of their name.

Erin

Or just, I would love fan art of the evil version of all three of us.

Adal

We make Waddle way-pee-wee.

Erin

Way-pee-wee.

Adal

And we're wearing weave.

???

Way-pee-wee. Way-pee-wee.

Adal

The pee is still there. It's just way-pee-wee. Way-pee-wee. But I want people to tweet or on Instagram to add a WA to anyone. And what hashtag should they use? Willans? Like villains.

JPC

Yeah, villains.

01:10:55

Adal

Love it. But should it be, but just W-I, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Erin

Um, yeah.

Adal

Oh, I want to- But don't tweet Willennium.

JPC

Too many people use the hashtag.

Adal

Too many people use the hashtag Willennium. Willennium. Which is the best Will Smith apple.

Erin

Um, I want to plug the Hey Riddle Riddle Instagram and Twitter. Find us at Hey Riddle Riddle. Uh, follow me on my Instagram, Erin Keif 10, and message me if you ever want any free tickets to any of the shows I'm in. I'm giving those out like candy.

Adal

What if we do a Hey Riddle Riddle tour and then everyone just messages you for free tickets?

Erin

Well, don't, anything except the Hey Riddle Riddle shows. Yeah, actually if that happens, Erin, you fucked us.

JPC

You fucked us.

Erin

Well, oops, sorry, and goodbye forever.

JPC

Oh, God. Well, I guess I'm moving too. Jupiter! This has been Hey Riddle Riddle created by Adal Rifai, starring Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan. That was a hate gun podcast.
