Almost always.

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.

You dive under a sea?

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.

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.
