This is a HeadGum podcast.
Adal
Welcome back all you idiots. It's Hey Riddle Riddle. I'm Adal Rifai. I'm JPC. I'm Erin Keif. That was rude.
JPC
Don't want to be an American ritty yet. Put it in the dead, in the pussy, pussy, pussy. What was that?
Erin
I literally told myself I will not sing today. Do you ever see that musical? Uh, no, but I heard the soundtrack for it.
Adal
Yeah, it's pretty... You know what song I think is super catchy?
Erin
What's that? 1... 2...
00:01:05
Adal
Oh wow, you threw some spice on the cunts on that one, didn't you?
Erin
Can I ask you something real quick, Erin?
Adal
What's up? At some point in the last couple seconds here, you tossed in there real quick that you told yourself you weren't going to sing today, and then you launched into 10 songs.
Erin
Oh you started, you, everyone rewind and tell me how this happens.
Adal
Welcome back, Ridiots. This is Hey Riddle Riddle. I'm Adal Rifai. I don't think you can say Ridiots anymore. Wait, really? Is that offensive, Ridiots? Uh oh, Adal's cancelled. Oh no. Do you think that our fans- Wait, can I explain myself? No. Ridiots is short for Rheumatoid Arthritis Idiot.
JPC
That's better. That's worse. Do you think our fans would consent to being called radiots as the thing that... I don't think anyone wants to have a negative connotation to a word.
Adal
Tweet us at AmericanRidiot if you prefer we call you radiots. If you prefer we don't, tweet us at UnAmericanRidiots. Would you rather be a radiot or a puzzle basalt? Or a dookie. Wasn't that a Green Day album?
00:02:06
JPC
Yeah, it was for sure. It was one of them. For sure, Duke, he was a Green Day album. But I told you guys before we started recording, not two minutes ago, I do not want to talk about Green Day.
Adal
You said you don't want any Avengers spoilers.
JPC
Yes.
Erin
I didn't want to sing. JBC didn't want to talk about Green Day and you didn't want any Avengers spoilers.
JPC
Yeah, Billy Joe. Yeah, I've seen the movie, but I don't want to hear any spoilers. Billy Joe has beat the shit out of me on three separate occasions. Billy Joel beat the shit out of me? The P.O. man himself.
Erin
And how many times did you deserve it out of the three?
JPC
I would say three out of three.
Erin
That's what I thought.
JPC
It was a turkey. Perfect game for Billy Joe beating the shit out of me. You know he's 5'1".
Erin
Who?
JPC
Billy Joe. Joe Armstrong? Really? Yeah. No, I don't know. I was asking if you knew. I don't know.
Erin
Wait a minute, that cadence was misleading. Are you Old Man Puzzles or what?
JPC
Erin, are you trying to pick me up?
Erin
Yeah.
JPC
Is that your pickup line at a bar?
Erin
Hey, um... Are you Old Man Puzzles or what? Hey, sorry, my friend and I were looking over here and we thought like maybe this is probably stupid.
00:03:13
Adal
I'm here with my wife.
Erin
What?
Adal
I'm here with my wife. It wasn't tucking you. We're divorced.
Erin
I'm sitting at the bar and you just scooch in front of me. Yeah.
Adal
You know how weird it is to scooch in front of someone who's sitting on a stool at the bar?
Erin
I know what I did. I'm gonna order a drink in a second. We were like, is that old man puzzles? Is that old man puzzles? Can I get you anything? Oh my god.
JPC
Are you drinking anything?
Erin
Yeah, I'll have a martini I guess.
JPC
I'm a bartender. I'm not hitting on you.
Adal
Would you like to order something? Bartender, would you get her martini and then also the tab for that? Okay.
Erin
Now who is who?
JPC
I'm his wife. Ex-wife. And I'm the bartender, and we have different voices.
Erin
And who is Old Man Puzzles? J-P-C! J-P-C!
JPC
It's as easy as O-N-P! Old Man Puzzles. I will be old man. Doing some riddies and puzzies. It's entirely too much singing on this week's episode. Should we start over? Yeah, we should.
00:04:16
Adal
Sorry, I'm underwater now.
JPC
Alright, Zoidberg, get out of here. I will be old man puzzles this week and what a week it is. Let's do a quick news and recap of the week.
Adal
You said Zoidberg, get out of here. Is that all that reference? Remember Zoidberger?
JPC
Is that a fun joke? What to do with that? Do I grind the show to a halt? I already did. And beat my friend verbally? I'm your friend?
Adal
Everyone heard that. Hope being that it would be the start of something fun. JPC's my friend. Or do I let it slide? Let it slide or like a Zoidberger. Welcome to Zoidberger, can I thank your order?
Erin
I'm not paying attention. I'm looking at my cherry tomatoes thinking if I should have any more and risk a tummy ache. What do you think, Adal? Adal, what do you think?
Adal
Here's what I think. I think we should record some video while doing the podcast, and I'm going to take those cherry tomatoes, and I'm going to toss them into your mouth like a blue man would.
Erin
They're going to hit me in the eye.
Adal
They're going to hit you in the eye, and that's going to be a good podcast. That's a bad show. No one should listen to it. Old Tomato Eye Keif.
00:05:22
JPC
So, I have a very special episode. Now, I know that everything that you've listened to thus far is proving to be the opposite, but I do actually have a very special episode planned.
Adal
Good episode or special?
JPC
Special. I would never hope to presume to call what we are doing good.
Adal
Yeah, CBS doesn't air the special wife. They are the good wife.
JPC
Yeah, CBS doesn't air the special doctor. They air the good doctor.
Erin
NBC doesn't air the special place. What? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
Adal
Fucking comedy police over here. We got pulled over by the comedy police.
Erin
Do you know that Billy Joel is 51?
JPC
I did know that. Do you know that Billy Joel is 51? I've heard that, yes. We have a very special episode because all of the riddles that we are doing on today's episode have been submitted by a very... What the fuck is wrong with you?
???
I don't know.
JPC
Damn. I did the same thing and got called his friend. Erin, you fucked up.
Erin
That was so funny.
00:06:23
JPC
Am I right? By a very special friend of ours. So this is all by one person that we know. Not a good friend, a special friend. I would go so far as to say this is an NBC's The Good Friend of ours. This is fellow World News Tonight cast member, Patrick Connelly. Oh, the best. Yes, Pad is the best. I asked Pad shortly before we recorded tonight. I was like, Pad, we're going to use some of the riddles that you submitted. I'm going to give you credit at the top of the episode. How would you like me to give you credit? Like, what would you like me to read off as your credentials? I guess he did not know that I was fucking with him when I said that, so he sent me over some real things that I will read, which is I never intended to give him any credit. But if you like these riddles that Pat is sending out, you can find Pat on his own podcast. He's got a podcast on Arcade Audio. He is the host of the Our Father podcast.
Erin
I've been on that. I've been on it before.
JPC
I believe you've both been on that podcast before. It was a blast. He's also a writer on the Comedy Sports Trivia show, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, and if you're in Chicago that's at Comedy Sports, it's Mondays at 8pm. And you can also see Pat doing World News Tonight, Saturdays at 8 and 10, with the three of us knucklebags.
00:07:35
Erin
He was on Jeopardy.
JPC
He was on Jeopardy. Pat was on Jeopardy. He lost to... He lost on Jeopardy. Baby.
Erin
Also, Pat is the one who bring the snacks to World News. So if you ever see us eating jelly beans in between shows, you can thank Pat.
JPC
If you ever see me eating snacks, you say a fucking prayer to thank Pat for the snacks that I'm eating. Because, guaranteed, those snacks came from that man. Are these riddles he created or riddles he found? Adal, I'm so fucking thankful that you asked me that question. Thank you. Adal, so Pat says, hey gang, love all three of you and the podcast. So the fourth person in the room, the podcast.
Erin
Did he rank us?
JPC
Yes, Erin. Do you want me to read the rankings that he put on here? And Erin, let me tell you before I finish this question. You do not. You do not want me to read this. Alright, let's keep moving then. Pat says as a trivia geek, he was on Jeopardy, there's nothing that makes me happier than the overwhelming feeling of smugness of getting an answer before anyone else. And I'm at my happiest when I'm listening to this show. Wow, Pat, thank you. I'm also a big fan of word games.
00:08:37
Adal
A little front-handed compliment.
JPC
So I thought I'd help out by including a hint in each of these riddles. So he did give a hint in each of these riddles, but the answer is hidden within each riddle as an anagram. And if you need a hint, me as Old Man Puzzles will share that some of the text is bolded and that will be your hint for the puzzle. And I'm sorry you said he did create these? Pat created all of these himself. Oh yeah, and I guess if you do want something to write with, then you can. Erin, let me cut your finger real quick.
Erin
Okay, I'll use it. My blood. My own blood. Are you using it?
JPC
The hint is, after I read the riddle, if you do need the hint that I can give you what text is bolded, and that is an anagram for the answer. Does that make sense? Okay, cool. Of course it makes sense. My friend. My good friend. Wow, you're really milking this friend thing, which was just a slip of the tongue on my part. All right, so as an example, since we usually start off with a warm-up, a pet has provided a warm-up. So I will just give you the full text of the riddle. Solve this one, and JPC will cite a pet. There's an anagram hidden in there. Spaghetti. Yes, correct. The bolded text in there is site a pet, which is an anagram for the word spaghetti.
00:09:55
Erin
This rules. I'm having so much fun and not just because I'm winning Adal.
JPC
And Adal. Erin took off for sure. She Mia Ham to the round her head.
Adal
Look, it's the world championship.
Erin
And I'm wearing Mia Ham's sports bra, so that works.
Adal
Not a similar sports bra, me and Hail Sports bra.
Erin
That cost me $80,000 and I don't regret it. Remember how people thought that was scandalous? And it's like the most normal fine thing. Anyways.
JPC
What? A woman's body?
Erin
Yeah. Everyone was like... What was that tone? I'm ready for another one, JBC.
JPC
Okay, so this next one is a little bit longer. But again, I'm not going to give you where the anagram is until we've... We need a hint. Yeah, exactly. Nobody ever wants me around. When I'm least wanted is when I am found. You may learn about me from a bad teacher or the long-winded sermon of an old preacher.
Adal
Billy Bob Thornton.
00:10:55
JPC
And Pat does say that if Adal talks in the middle of these riddles, I'm allowed to hit you as hard as I can. Which, by the way, is like the whisper of a leaf. Not very hard. Or long-winded sermon of an old preacher. Yet I can be banished by a good book or by giving your local red box a look. I'll stick close beside you when we're alone, but invite your friends over and I'll fly from your home. I can be found all alone I can be found all alone in a bedroom. If I'm with you, it's your fault for giving me headroom.
Erin
Loneliness.
Adal
You got real salacious at the end. Is it Nellie Furtado? Do you think that headroom is code for? Well, the way you said it, you said, I'll give you head room. Oh, gotcha.
Erin
Is Nellie Furtado okay?
Adal
Um, I mean, she's fucking fantastic. Okay. Why do you say that?
Erin
I haven't heard anyone mention her in a long time.
Adal
She did that song with Timbaland. And then she had, I'm like a bird, and she's Canadian, so she's got healthcare. Yes. Yes, Queen. Yes.
00:11:55
Erin
Yeah. Okay. All right. I'm actually glad I asked. I feel like I feel a little comforted.
Adal
Can we stop and can someone Google Nelly Furtado? Yep. I'm on it. And also, wait, JPC, you googled Nelly Furtado to see if somebody's made that joke. Erin. Erin, you're going to Google Nelly Furtado.
Erin
Oh, she has a great little pixie cut. Oh, that turn off the lights, the song that up. So she was born in 78.
JPC
Okay, Nelly Frittata, when you Google that, you get an image search, you get a bunch of pictures of St. Louis rapper Nelly eating an egg-based breakfast dish, and it's like thousands of these pictures. And it looks like they're not doctored at all, and they're all different frittatas.
Adal
Does anybody have an image that says it's getting hot sauce in her? No, that has not been done, but there are several frittatas that have little band-aids over them.
Erin
Okay, she made an album called The Ride in 2017.
Adal
So it sounds like she's doing pretty good. She's doing great!
00:12:57
Erin
With such tracks like Pipe Dreams, Cold Hard Truth, Sticks and Stones.
Adal
Sounds like she's going through something. So you're right. We're both right.
Erin
Yeah, she did separate from her husband in 2016. Who was her husband?
Adal
Her partner? She married the lead singer, Sum 41, right?
JPC
Yeah, she was in Max Payne, the movie, and she has a child whose name is Nevis.
Erin
Nevis, yeah.
JPC
Unfortunately. Oh, he's the... Maybe Nevis listens to our show so easy.
Erin
Oh, she married a sound engineer.
Adal
Sorry, KJ. KJ, thumbs up, thumbs down with Nellie Furtado. Thumbs up! Erin, real quick, and JPC, three-part harmony, Nellie Furtado, I'm Like a Bird. One, two, three. I'm like a bird on the Rifai way
JPC
I'm like a bird flying through the sky every day like a bird with my wings off. We said no singing up top.
Erin
In the car I went do not sing.
00:14:02
JPC
So what in this riddle do you think that Nellie Frittato is it? Or Frittato? Oh right, we're solving it riddles. Did I get it right? Frittato. Yes, we're solving riddles. And your answer was? Loneliness. Loneliness is incorrect. Adal Boredom is correct.
Adal
Can I say something? No, you can't. I don't want to put Pat on blast because Pat's a very good friend. He's currently in Ireland. He's a wonderful, wonderful friend. He did a riddle for the season two finale of Hello from the Magic Tavern as his bridge troll character. And I'm pretty sure boredom was the answer for that one.
JPC
Well, maybe this is saying something a little deeper about Pat and kind of things that he's going through right now. Yeah. And he's thinking about these riddles while he's listening to our podcast. So maybe our podcast is very bored. Dumb.
Adal
But we finally had a magic tavern. Hey Riddle crossover. That's true. Besides Matt Young doing an ad.
JPC
Does anyone know, and Arnie was on the show. Arnie Parrott did the theme song. Did anyone know what word there was in that that had an anagram for boredom? Morehead. What was it? Headroom. It was bedroom. Headroom doesn't have a lot of the letters that boredom has.
00:15:12
Adal
You know that character Max Bedroom, the 80s character?
JPC
Cool. So I would like to see a scene. Erin, in this scene you will be playing Nellie Furtado and Adal, you're going to be a fan who has met Nellie Furtado on the street and you're going to just be wondering what she's been up to for the past few years. Dead stop. That's a dead stop. That's our first dead stop.
Erin
Yeah, I think because no one else is gonna, how else are people gonna recognize her?
JPC
So you think Nellie Furtado is walking around humming her own songs, just waiting for people to recognize her? Okay, I'd love to continue the scene.
Adal
Oh my god, are you Nelly Furtado?
Erin
Oh my gosh, what? What makes you say that about me?
Adal
Because you're humming, I'm like a bird.
Erin
Am I? Sorry, sometimes just my subconscious just comes out.
Adal
Yeah, okay. You haven't done anything in a while.
Erin
Oh, I did an album in 2017, did you not?
Adal
Oh, I don't think you did. I think I would know. I'm a big fan, I think I would know if you did an album. How sound engineer. There's a tan line where your wedding ring was.
00:16:21
Erin
He is great. Good. We're not together.
Adal
Well, right now, because you're walking alone singing your song.
Erin
Well, here's the thing. If you're a true fan, name three of my songs.
Adal
I'm Like a Bird. I'm Like a Bird remix. That song you did with Timbaland. I'm a huge fan. You know, I thought always you should have done a whole animal song. You should have done I'm Like a Bird, I'm Like a Snake, I'm Like an Alligator, I'm Like an Emu, I'm Like a Dodo, I'm Like a Spider, I'm Like a Fly. Those are the only animals I know.
Erin
Some of those were insects. Excuse me? Nothing.
Adal
Insects is animals.
Erin
I don't think so.
Adal
How's that? Defend yourself.
Erin
Sorry, I'm going to Google that.
JPC
Defend yourself.
Erin
No, put up your hands. No, I'm going to Google it.
JPC
Excuse me. I couldn't help it over here. I'm a bug doctor on sabbatical from a university. I sent an inappropriate picture to a student. It was of a bug penis.
Adal
So are you on sabbatical or are you fired? What's a sabbatical? Oh, is that Nellie Furtado?
00:17:34
JPC
Yeah, she's not very nice. Promiscuous girl! That's the one!
Erin
I forgot! I forgot that one was a good thing of it.
JPC
You don't know.
Erin
You're Nellie Furtado and you only know.
JPC
That was my little brother's ringtone for a while.
Erin
Uh-oh.
JPC
Ironically? I think he just really liked that song. It's a good song. It's a special song. It's a special song. This week on a special episode of Nellie Furtado's discography. Okay, ready for your next riddle? Erin, are you ready too?
Erin
Okay, let me see. I'm going to check in with myself really quick, okay?
JPC
Sure.
Erin
Hey, Erin. Oh, sorry. You scared me, Erin. So you're just really pale and you have kind of sleepy eyes. Yeah, I was just checking in. Are you ready for the next riddle? I think so.
Adal
This is going to be our first ever sad stop.
Erin
I'm fine!
JPC
Carry on! We can't have gone 40 episodes without doing a sad stop. We have to have done sad before. Just for me, idiots. Should it be sad stop or sad sack? Dead sad.
00:18:36
Erin
Dead sad. I'm fine.
JPC
I'm good to have, but you can't be proud of having me. I am no secret, but if you claim me, I will flee. I free women of vanity, my presence blushes men. All your pride I'll set aside, it's a useless sin. Really want a hint for this? I'm hiding in the middle. But you don't need to prove you know me by answering this riddle. Jimmy Eat World. It's Jimmy Eat World. I'm hiding in the middle. How'd you know? It just takes some time. Little girl, you're in the middle of the ride. Go with everything I beat.
Erin
Can somebody make a Spotify playlist of every song that has been mentioned on this episode?
JPC
I don't think that we're on Spotify. Oh, I guess like our episodes are on Spotify, but pieces of our episodes on Spotify.
Erin
No, but I mean like every song we mentioned go through and get the actual artist version and make a Hey Riddle Riddle as garbage playlist.
JPC
I think it would be pretty embarrassing for us because it would just be Third Eye Blinds' Jumper like 40 times. I think I've done Shaggy's It Wasn't Me like a thousand times on this show. I know six songs.
00:19:42
Erin
Tell me, can you read that again?
JPC
Yes, I can tell you that I'll read that again. Thank you. I'm good to have, but you can't be proud of having me. I'm no secret, but if you claim me, I will flee. I free women of vanity. My presence blushes men. All your pride will set aside. It's a useless little sin. I keep putting use a little in there. It's just it's a useless sin. Really want to hint for this? I'm hiding in the middle, but you don't need to prove you know me by answering this riddle.
Erin
Fart.
JPC
Hole. Fart hole. That's a fart. Stop. Fart hole.
Erin
Was one of us close?
JPC
No, fart and hole were both not close. Fart hole son.
Erin
Adal, what do you think it is? I'll take credit.
Adal
I'm really keen into trying to unpackage it. It frees women of vanity? If I free women of vanity, my presence blushes men. Yeah, so that part right there is what I'm kind of trying to dissect.
JPC
Okay.
Adal
To be fair, I'm also trying to dissect a fetal pig, additionally. So my texture is split. It smells like straight up formaldehyde in here. Oh, I'm sorry this is such a formaldehyde.
00:20:54
Erin
It really hurt my feelings when JPC walked into it. It smells like Erin in here. Oh, there's a pig here.
Adal
There's a fetal pig in here. But I put lipstick on it.
Erin
Okay. Let's see. This is hard.
Adal
Yes, correct. Erin, correct.
Erin
Points. I guess it's okay with Adal. I would like to know which word is bold.
Adal
Um, no. Okay, well... I don't want to help anymore, but...
JPC
The word that is bold, it's actually two words, it is blushes men.
Adal
See I knew it.
JPC
As in the line, I free women of vanity, my presence blushes men.
Adal
Shmimblehoof. Is it shmimblehoof?
JPC
Shmimblehoof, yeah. So, Padd's an idiot and the answer that he put to this riddle was shmimblehoof. And you got it.
Adal
He's... he's... mimble?
Erin
Is it one word or two words?
JPC
It's one word. Okay, hold on. I'm gonna stop you right there. Put your pens and phones down. I'm going to see a scene. This is a scene from the pilot episode of a television show called He's Mimble. Now before the show can actually begin, as you know with live studio audience shows, we have like a front man come up and warm out the crowd. Erin and Adal, you are both the front men that come out and warm up the crowd and it is your It is your job to kind of tag team, explain to the crowd the show that they're about to see. I will tell you that He's Mimble has a very complicated premise.
00:22:21
Adal
Hey IFC audience members, how we doing? This is Charlie. And I'm Charlie. We're going to tell you what's up.
Erin
And I'm Charlotte, and we're your warm-up comedians.
Adal
So we need to tell you a little bit about the show because it's a little complex. Stop fucking clapping. We need to tell, why did we have the applause I'm facing?
Erin
I know you're excited to watch He's Mimble, but a few key things before we get started.
Adal
Mm-hmm. You should know that in this world that the show is set in, scientists have combined a man and a thimble together to form a... A Mimble!
Erin
All right, well, Mimble goes on all sorts of misadventures. He falls in love. He loses his job.
Adal
He is used for someone sewing. Those are the three episodes we have.
Erin
They hired both of us to do this, and I think we're doing great. So are you excited to meet Mimble?
JPC
Okay, a page runs up to both of you and hands you a big, big, big page full of rewrites.
00:23:25
Adal
Oh, here's page with a page. Oh. Don't say my real name. Huh? Okay, so seems like we've made a few changes based on your lack of applause. The writers have been in the wings ready. Yeah, so... Those are the writers, yep. So it seems like instead of scientists crossing a man with a thimble, the new show is crossing a woman with a... symbol! Yes, it's Wimble. This woman weighs 2,000 pounds, so this show is called Wimbleton. It's kind of a fun play.
Erin
But we're getting more rewrites. Alright, and this show is, we're actually combining a mouse with a... Another mouse.
Adal
It's called Basic Mouse.
Erin
Oh, another page of rewrites? Uh oh, these writers, these are just scratches of pencil and panic.
Adal
This will be fun.
Erin
So we've combined the concept of God with the concept of a pimple.
Adal
This is called Gimble. And then he has a little horse named Pimble.
00:24:28
Erin
Oh, the writers seem happy with this choice.
Adal
Oh, it's not a thumbs up, it's a middle finger. The writers are pissed. Well, you wrote it.
Erin
And, oh, and we're here at the beginning of tears.
JPC
Remember, first line from the show is... I'm sorry, my name is Ted Sizemore. I'm the president of the network. Tom, say your real name, Tom. My name is Tom Penisbutt. I'm the president of the network, this show has been cancelled.
Adal
One of my favorite bits to do is to be like, to start a classroom scene and be like, my name is John Finger in a Button. Yes, I get it, John. Just like John Belushi. I've heard it all before, but to totally ignore the obvious joke.
JPC
Speaking of ignoring the obvious joke, yes, we're still in the middle of this riddle. Blushes men. Is it one word or two?
00:25:31
Erin
I've already said that it's one word. That's impossible.
JPC
It's impossible? No. There's not an M or a P, so it can't be impossible. You see what I did? You guessed the word. Who are you? That's devastating to me. Embellish.
Erin
Blemishes.
JPC
Okay. So keep all of that in mind. I'm going to read this riddle again. I'm good to have, but you can't be proud of having me. I'm no secret, but if you claim me, I will flee. I free women of vanity. My presence blushes men. All your pride, all set aside. It's a useless sin. Really want to hint for this? I'm hiding in the middle. But you don't need to prove you know me by answering this riddle. Oh, we don't have to answer the riddle.
Adal
That's the answer. That's the answer, yeah.
Erin
I'm tired. I don't know.
Adal
Um, I bet the audience is fucking losing their minds. I bet the audience is losing their minds. Give us the first letter.
00:26:33
JPC
Uh, no. The title of this riddle, this is another clue, is called, You Don't Have to Prove Anything. The first letter is H. Humbleness. Yes! The answer is humbleness! Adal, tell them what you've won.
Adal
I've won the chance to sit out the next Riddle.
Erin
Oh, I wanted that!
Adal
Everybody wanted that, Erin.
JPC
Everybody wanted that. No, but you have taken the lead. It is now two to one.
Adal
I'd like to see a quick scene. Great. JPC, you are coming into the office that you work at. We'll say it's 8.55. You're a little bit early for your 9 o'clock call. And Erin is your co-worker. And you are coming to the office. You have kids. And your kids have tried to explain to you what a humble brag is. You've misunderstood wildly. And now you're going to present to Erin what you think a humble brag is.
Erin
Happy Friday.
JPC
Happy Friday. How was the rest of the week for you?
00:27:37
Erin
Great. I'm about to go to the Keurig. Do you want a coffee?
JPC
Well, I don't mean to do a humble brag, but I already pooped this morning before I left the house.
Erin
Josh, what?
JPC
I don't mean to do a humble brag, but I already pooped this morning before I left the house, so I don't need to have a copy.
Erin
Okay. Well, I'm going to have a coffee, Josh. Well, I'll walk over there with you. Any plans this weekend?
JPC
Yeah. Again, I don't mean to do a humble brag, but I bought four new lawn chairs.
Erin
Uh, great.
Adal
Yes.
Erin
Great. Are you going to use them? It's supposed to snow all weekend.
Adal
And as we continue with the scene, uh, JPC, your dad has an even wilder misconception as it goes on.
JPC
Okay. Okay. Uh, yeah, I guess it, I guess it will snow.
Erin
So I guess, um, I'm going to go skiing this weekend.
JPC
Oh, excellent. Uh, where are you going skiing?
Erin
Oh, just like up north, just in Vermont.
00:28:40
JPC
Oh, yeah. North of here in Vermont. Well, I don't mean to do a humble brag, but, um... When I have pancakes, I can eat a whole bottle of syrup. On just three pancakes.
Erin
Did you just learn the words humble brag today, Josh?
JPC
Whoa! Why do you ask? Actually, my son Joshua, which is my name.
Adal
And GPC, by the end of this sentence that you're saying, we're going to learn that you're actually Mimble, the man who is crossed with a thimble.
JPC
Anyway, my son Joshua, who was adopted because, as we all know, I don't have a human penis.
Erin
Hey Josh, can you hop away? Can you hop away and get a little thimble body away from me?
JPC
Well, I can. I don't mean to humble brag, but I am full of holes. So, you know I can really pass through. The office.
Erin
Well, it's about time to get ready for work.
JPC
We got a couple more minutes. We got a couple more minutes. We got a couple more minutes. Happy Friday Meredith. Steve!
00:29:42
Adal
Oh hey, my man. How's it going? Great. Going great. Weekend plans? Well, you know, probably just have some cheese, avoid all the traps. Don't mean to humble. What the fuck did you say, Steve? Said have some cheese, avoid all those traps.
Erin
You're on the wrong show, you're supposed to be on that mouse show.
Adal
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, what happens when the mouse and the mouse get together? Wait, is this not the right- No. This isn't mouse party?
Erin
We got some rewrites.
JPC
This isn't mouse party?
Erin
All right, give me another riddle. I'm ready to prove myself again.
JPC
Give me a riddle to see my son. I'm gonna do a riddle on Hey Riddle Riddle.
Adal
Oh, I love Kid Rock.
JPC
Okay. Fiance is off to display me, but gemstones not so. Always offered by puppies, but from cats it's touch and go. Held with hands wide open and not inside a fist. Awkward out in public when you're alone is when I missed. Awkward out in public when you're alone is one of the best. Love and kisses. Affection. Relationship. Kingdomship. Erin? What? You have nailed it.
00:30:48
Erin
No, don't joke.
JPC
The answer is affection. Is it? It is. What was the anagram? Fianc's oft. Hmm.
Erin
Interesting.
JPC
And the answer there is affection. Fans says off display me but gemstones not so always offered by puppies but from cats at session go. Held with hands wide open and not inside a fist awkward out in public when you're alone is when I miss. It is affection.
Erin
Adal, tell the truth. Did you know and you want you let me get it?
Adal
Yeah, I will say yes. Wait a minute. I feel like in my head I'm imagining Pat at home writing these and he's going through like all these different emotions where he's like, this is boring and then he's like, I wish I had someone here. He's like, no, I should remain humble.
JPC
Yes, so I believe that ties us up, even though I'm counting the warm-up that Erin got right as a point. But we're still 2-2. Interesting. Well, okay. I mean, Adal. Hey, my man. Well, we're getting some rewrites. It seems like it is 2-1.
Erin
No, wait a minute!
JPC
Oh, no. So, Erin, you delivered those rewrites. I don't know why you did that. I'm a redubby. It is 2-1.
Erin
Wait, I'm a ritty-it? I'm a ritty-it.
00:31:49
JPC
So it is two to one, Adal, you are in the lead here, and that gives us a great place to step away and take a quick break. We will see you after these brief messages from our sponsors!
???
And we're back!
JPC
Welcome back to Hey Riddle Riddle, the show you hate. And for another thing that you hate, how about another riddle? Here we go. What's that in the distance? Not me. For I'm right here with you. I couldn't be closer. Halt! Who goes there? Not me. I'm with you already. Now watch where you go, sir. Oh, is this God? Is he gonna be like, foots in the sand? Hold on. Where is my keychain? Hidden. A mystery for certain. Though it's right where you left it. Why is this toilet seat wet? Haha! Now you're stuck taking a moist, angered shit.
00:32:51
Adal
Okay, I feel like the last two lines were JPC originals.
JPC
Nope, these are all bad.
Adal
A moist, angry shit.
JPC
Well that has to- the anagram has to be angry shit. What's that in the distance? Not me, for I'm here with you. I couldn't be closer. Halt who goes there? Not me. I'm with you already. Now watch where you go, sir. Where is my keychain? Hidden. A mystery for certain. Though it's right where you left it. Why is this toilet seat wet? Haha! Now you're stuck taking a moist, angered shit. Is the answer insanity? The answer is insanity. That's so good. No, it's not. It's absolutely not. So, Erin, you're still in the game. Is it a mirage? Explain some reasoning here behind these answers. Is it a mirage?
Erin
I always get dead stops.
Adal
That's not me in the distance. That's me in the corner. Oh, it's REM.
JPC
Yes, it's REM. Michael Stipe. What's that in the distance? Not me, for I'm right here with you. I couldn't be closer. Hulk, who goes there? Not me. I'm with you already. Now watch where you go, sir. Shadow. It's not shadow?
00:34:00
Erin
I don't know. Could you give us a hint, maybe the title of the riddle?
JPC
See if you can solve this.
Erin
Horizon.
JPC
Not horizon. It's S-E-E, not S-E-A.
Erin
Okay.
JPC
It is Verizon.
Erin
Can you hear me now? Your eyes.
JPC
I'm Nipple's Fucker. Can you hear me now?
Erin
Eyes?
JPC
It's not eyes, but you're on the right track.
Erin
Sight.
Adal
No. Eyelids. Blasses. No. Bifocals.
JPC
Contacts. Let me give you the word, the bolded words. This will help. Angered shit.
Erin
Oh, you were right, Adal.
JPC
With what?
Erin
You said that those were probably the words that were pulled. Yes. Adal doesn't care about riddles anymore. I just saw him hit the wall after 40-something episodes.
JPC
My soul just left my body.
Erin
I saw it happen. He was the only one who loved riddles.
JPC
This too hard.
Erin
Alright, wait. I'm gonna write that down.
JPC
Angered shit. And Erin, like I said, you said eyes and you were getting closer.
Adal
Okay. I want to leave shit as is because I feel like that's gonna be part of it. You think this one-word answer... Endangered shit?
00:35:07
JPC
Yes, it's an endangered shit.
Adal
That's a great question. If an endangered animal shits, can you clean it up? Wow, we'll never know.
JPC
Yeah, well... I love that you think that's a great question. Adal, you did say that you're writing a children's book called If a Dodo Takes a Doo Doo, correct? Oh, do you want to hear a passage from it? Absolutely. Here's the book. I asked for this. Thank you so much. Okay.
Erin
I'm gonna get this. Hold on. I'm close.
JPC
Well, Erin, do you want me to read a passage from Erin's children's book?
Adal
Here, I'll read the first page. Let's read a page. Okay, great. If there's a toucan and a tutu, and a piggy can go doo-doo, then a dodo can do doo-doo, and of course you'll number two-two.
JPC
Okay, and here's the book, and I'll go to the next page. Why did I write this book? I am so alone, my life is pain, every day I scream into my empty room. Oh, those are my notes. Those are my author notes. Would you like to read a page from when a dodo-doo's a doo-doo?
00:36:13
Erin
Help, help, help. Help, help, help. Oh, Adal, these are your notes.
Adal
No, those are someone else's.
Erin
Alright, the answer to this ends with I-N-G.
Adal
No.
Erin
Seriously?
Adal
Correct. Does it start with this? Because shit is a perfect answer for this. It is one word. This. No.
Erin
Testering. Answering. Shatter.
Adal
Pain in my shit. Bifocals. No. Near-sided. Yes! It's correct. It's nearsighted.
JPC
It's nearsighted, yes. So yeah, when you are nearsighted, Erin, you are so fucking far behind. Three to one over here.
Erin
I got the warm-up Riddle!
Adal
Erin has her hands on her head like she can't breathe.
Erin
There's a cupcake right in front of me that I cannot eat.
Adal
Yeah, I texted Erin earlier and I said, can you eat cupcakes? And she didn't get back to me and then she just put, no, ha ha ha. Are you at Mariano's?
Erin
Well, I can have gluten free cupcakes.
Adal
Can I also tell this little antique dote? Yes. I'll allow it. We went to have a, we had a Hey Riddle dinner the other day.
00:37:15
JPC
Were you trying to come up with a way to call that like a hey dinner dinner?
Adal
Hey dinner. We had a hey dinner dinner.
Erin
A dinner riddle. Dinner riddle riddle.
Adal
That's a dinner stop. We had a dinner and we had tapas because Erin demanded it.
Erin
I did because I'm a queen.
Adal
Yeah, at some point, Erin ate like 10 scallops. I go, did you eat 10 scallops? She goes, yeah. Oh, it was three scallops. Let's call it, let's meet in the middle. It was 13. But at some point, I was like, let's get desserts. And Erin goes, I don't do sweets. And I was like, OK. And so I ordered a caramelized banana. And I said, I'm going to get two spoons just for JPC and I. And as we started eating it, Erin was like, I'll try this.
Erin
No!
Adal
I wasn't even fucking there so don't put this on me.
Erin
I was like okay I don't want to hurt their feelings I'll try it and I did like it.
Adal
Turns out Erin ate 13 of those bananas.
Erin
I didn't have any I had three scallops and I ate them kind of quickly. I guess I ate them fast and Adal was like, whoa Zoom! Slow down little lady!
00:38:19
Adal
And I was like... Alright, Erin, if you didn't eat those scallops fast... Well, that's my favorite pick up line. Slow down little lady.
JPC
If you didn't eat those scallops fast, how come at the end of the meal the waiter came over to us with a certificate for the fastest scallop eating lady?
Adal
He said your kids eat for free, but yo, that's not a kid, that's JP Z.
Erin
You seem like such a grove. Eating fish quickly is really sad. So please just give me a break.
Adal
We can call you Mama Mollusk.
Erin
Please don't.
Adal
There's nothing sad other than eating a fish quickly.
Erin
Well, okay, well, here's my revenge. You two, between the two of you, ordered a hundred different types of potatoes and ate all of them.
JPC
Yeah, that's true. To be fair, JPC ordered just potatoes and mayonnaise. I took some home and guess what I did with that potato and mayonnaise when I got home? You ate it. Went straight up my ass, baby. Yeah, I'm wet and nasty. I'm a sloppy little bitch.
Erin
JPC is some people's favorites. Just pointing that out.
JPC
Oh, those potatoes were good. Okay, Adal's fingers can Ah, boy, oh boy. What? Next Riddle. Adal's fingers can find me in the cold Arctic Ocean. JPC knows me best when someone else shows emotion. For Erin, I make it harder to feel up men's bums. Most improvisers seek me in whiskies and rums. Um, dad's attention.
00:39:35
Erin
Validation.
JPC
Dad's attention? Dad's attention.
Erin
You see... Could you read it again?
JPC
I can read it again. Adal's fingers can find me in the cold Arctic Ocean. JPC knows me best when someone else shows emotion. Penguin. For Erin, I make it harder to feel up men's bums. Most improvisers seek me in whiskies and rubs. Fish oil.
Adal
Fun jokes. No. Laughter. What's the smelt?
Erin
I'm sorry?
Adal
Smelt?
JPC
Smelt.
Erin
What's the title of this?
JPC
The title of this is, I've got a good feeling about this one.
Adal
Custom nights gonna be a good night.
Erin
These are, first of all, just a pause. These are really, really great.
JPC
No! We can't pause.
Erin
No, these are great.
JPC
The show must go on, Erin.
Erin
But these are great.
JPC
Thank you. These are really good riddles. I befriended Pat just so I could get these riddles.
Adal
I do want to say today's episode is unofficially sponsored by Paws Chicago, where JPC got spaghetti. I would like to see a quick public service commercial. Is that a thing? Yeah, public service commercials. With Erin and JPC doing an ad for Paws Chicago. That is where he gets spaghetti. I just want to see a quick commercial for that.
00:40:51
Erin
Anyone can be a dog parent. And here's an example. This guy is a fucking idiot. JPC, tell the people why you suck so bad.
JPC
I think spoons are forks, and I think forks are knives.
Erin
And other things too, right, JPC?
JPC
Yes. I believe wholeheartedly that Joe Biden is the right choice for presidential nominee in 2020. I think that Oprah is a little too much. And I... Hey, I'm gonna stop you real quick, sorry.
Adal
About a minute ago, Erin said fucking, so we have to retake this. Start from top, here we go. One, two, three. Okay, great.
Erin
This shitbird asshole little bitch is allowed to have a dog named Spaghetti. A cute dog, even. And he can keep it alive. Her alive. JVC, tell people why you deserve to have a dog.
JPC
When I go to Pornhub, I click every single ad that I see. Even for the penis pills that I don't need.
Adal
Sorry, I've got to stop you there. Pons has a partnership with RedTube. We allow them to use dogs in some of their porn. Is that a real porn website? Sorry? Nothing. I just mentioned it, didn't I?
00:41:57
Erin
I'm sorry. Sometimes you make things up because you're an improviser.
JPC
Here, I got it on my phone. Check it. See? It's Family Guy stuff. We also... It's all Lois.
Adal
It's all Lois and Peter getting 69. It's mostly Brian on my feed. We also have Bloemport. You ever go to Bloemport?
Erin
Is that made up?
Adal
Bloemport? Yes.
JPC
No, no, no. Have you ever seen the Ray Romano movie, Welcome to Mooseport? No. It's a port website based on that movie.
Erin
Alright, I'm ready to take it again.
Adal
What are some of the port insights you know?
Erin
Pornhub?
Adal
Okay, what else? That's what I said.
Erin
Google?
JPC
I think we're ready to take it whenever.
Erin
Yeah, we're ready.
Adal
Okay, in three, two, one, zero, minus one, minus two, minus three.
Erin
This little bitch has a dog named Spaghetti. Tell everyone why you're such a bitch.
JPC
I regularly, routinely deny calls from my mom and my grandma.
Adal
This is also a visual, so can you act a bitch?
JPC
Yeah, sure.
00:43:01
Erin
Visit Paws today because anyone can have a dog and take care of it and love it like JPC loves spaghetti, a dog he named after food.
JPC
I for real got in trouble the other week for making a joke about how I fuck my dog, which is a thing that I make routinely. So someone texted something to Mariah out of context and she was like, what does this mean? And I was like, well, I'm so glad I have the opportunity to explain this because what I was doing was making a joke about how I fuck my dog. And now I get to explain to you the context of this joke that someone texted you.
Adal
And remind me, has Mariah received her sainthood yet? Or that's coming? You have to die to get sainthood. What are you doing? Back off, back off! Abort, abort! Oh, now you're making abortion jokes.
JPC
Would you like to answer this riddle?
Adal
No.
JPC
Okay.
Adal
So the feeling that I get, was that what it was? What's the title?
JPC
Adal's fingers can... Oh, the title is I've got a good feeling about this one.
00:44:01
Adal
I've got a good feeling about this. So it has to do with the sense of touch because my fingers can fight it in the ocean. Yes.
JPC
So what's like... JBC's knows me best when someone else shows emotion. For Erin, I make it harder to feel up men's bombs. Here's... Most improvisers seek me in whiskey's and rum's.
Erin
Escape.
JPC
The Pina Colada song?
Erin
I don't know. If you like making love at midnight. What's bold? What's bold? I'm ready for what's bold.
JPC
Men's bums. Men's bums. Eight letters, men's bums. Oh, summer? What's that?
Adal
You know, you got winter, spring, summer, fall. Summer? Yeah, Adal's fingers find summer when he's in the ocean.
JPC
Numbers. Numbers is not the correct answer, but it's Erin. It's very close to the correct answer. Mumbers.
Erin
Numbness.
JPC
Numbness. Nice. Erin Keif is back on the board. It's two to three, Erin.
Erin
How do you feel? I feel nothing.
00:45:01
JPC
Yeah, just like JPC when someone else shows emotion. Here's another Riddle.
Erin
Are you okay?
JPC
Even if I wasn't, how would you ever fucking know?
Erin
Do you? I think you're secretly a little softy. I think you're secretly a little Paddington bear, huh? Who's my little Paddington bear?
JPC
Little ketchup the bear? Yeah. Alright, here's the next riddle. Here we're related, even if you're a stranger. Olive Garden. Yep, it's Olive Garden. Fuck.
Erin
Seriously?
JPC
It is indeed Olive Garden.
Erin
No way!
JPC
Can you read the whole thing? Yes, Adal got it immediately, but this one is great. Damn it, Adal! It's actually, there's three of them in this. Vino Regald. There's three in this. Vino Regald, Grown Veiled, and Olive Garden. I love Danger, Vino Regald, and Grown Veiled are all anagrams for Olive Garden.
00:46:11
Adal
I want to see a scene. Erin, you are leading, it's the all three of us, and you are leading a pitch session for what Olive Garden's slogan should be or tagline, and this is like in the late 80s, so we're gonna see where we land.
Erin
Okay everyone, take a seat. I know I'm the boss and maybe it's not good that I do my idea first. But I'm just going to start us off.
JPC
I just have to say it's 1980 and I love that the boss is a woman.
Adal
Yeah, this is, and your suit with the big shoulders, I think it's great.
Erin
Makes it dumb and useless when you point it out as much as you do. All right, here we go.
Adal
We're trying to be proactive. Easy, breezy, beautiful. And beautiful refers to yourself or the food?
Erin
The food. Easy. Breezy. Beautiful. Okay.
Adal
Okay. I got one. Yeah. Okay. It's not delivery because you're in a fucking restaurant.
Erin
I don't hate it. I don't love the swear, but I don't hate it.
00:47:12
JPC
Okay. Okay. I have one. It's kind of simple.
Erin
It's just it's Pepsi.
Adal
Okay.
JPC
Okay. Yeah. Do we serve Pepsi products? I don't think so. I don't believe so.
Erin
Alright, I got one.
JPC
Ready?
Erin
Olive Garden. Just do it.
Adal
I like that. I like that. How about this? Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's breadsticks.
Erin
Oh well, I'd like to pause and unpack that one a little bit.
JPC
Why'd you two look at each other when I said that one? We both have had daughters that have had breadsticks.
Erin
The hands of breadsticks. The hands of breadsticks.
JPC
You both have daughters. We both have had daughters.
Erin
Have had daughters.
JPC
I didn't say that.
Erin
We just let them run out into the woods. What are you supposed to do when you've got breadsticks?
Adal
Are you kidding me? Do you know animals can smell breadsticks from 10 miles away? We're counting on it. We're actually getting on it. You're counting on your daughters that you've had being eaten by wolves. No. Because of their breadsticks raised.
00:48:15
Erin
Do you have another one?
JPC
Raised by wolves. I have one. I have one. Eaten good in the neighborhood. In the neighborhood, it's Italy. Oh, I like that.
Erin
Olive Garden.
Adal
I'm loving it. How about this? Olive Garden, like a rock. Oh! Because it's hard to get reservations. Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other?
Erin
Why do you two look at each other?
Adal
Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other?
Erin
Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other?
Adal
Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other?
Erin
Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each other? Why do you two look at each
JPC
I was gonna say we do everlasting breadsticks. Just breadsticks that just one long breadstick that you just keep eating.
Adal
It goes back into the kitchen.
Erin
Ending soup, ending breadsticks. Salad that stops.
Adal
Hey, can I just say I know co-workers. Sure. And I know it's the late 80s, but... When I'm with you all, you feel so... Feels like we're from the same ancestry. Yeah, like we're all together. When I'm in this room, it's like you're in my ancestry. You're part of my tree.
00:49:25
Erin
Oh my gosh. I think we're all in agreement. Easy breezy people.
Adal
One, two, three.
JPC
Do you ever think that we should fucking use that time machine to come back in time and do ad executive stuff when we were all meant to go kill Hitler?
Adal
Smash cut to two daughters in the woods with breadstick arms.
Erin
You want someone to draw it?
Adal
I want either someone to draw two girls with red stick arms being raised by wolves, or I want that to be a Halloween costume this year. Yeah, that'll be a big Halloween costume this year.
Erin
Oh my gosh, just wear a sweatshirt and then have two olive garden red sticks.
JPC
It can be like an Adam Sandler desk piece. And people will ask you what you are for Halloween and you'll have to explain to them what a podcast is. Undercooked pasta, which should have been wetter, a tame kiss was given when passion was better. The curtain pulled open, a neighborly flash, a debit card left after getting some cash. Ordering vegan, but being served ham, every example a clue as to just what I am.
00:50:35
Adal
I call bullshit on this. These are just Bob Dylan lyrics. Wait, what song do you think Bob Dylan sings? Isn't it ironic?
Erin
Don't you think?
JPC
This is undercooked pasta which should have been wetter. A tame kiss was given when passion was better. The curtains pulled open, a neighborly flash, a debit card left after getting some cash. Ordering vegan but being served ham, every example, a clue as to just what I am.
Erin
Things that make you not horny.
JPC
Unreturned. Mm-mm. No.
Erin
Limp.
JPC
No. Limp. Biscuit. Limp biscuit is rocking your scent just like crushing a nut when you're placing your bet. Neighborly flash. Frustrating. Is that like your neighbor flashing you? Yeah. The curtains pulled open and neighborly flash.
Adal
Um... Under arrest. Naked. Nope. What was it? Limp pasta when it should have been wetter?
00:51:38
JPC
Undercooked pasta which should have been wetter.
Adal
Al dente. A tame... No.
JPC
I mean that's... Yeah. Weird Al Dente. It's Weird Al Dente. Fuck. How'd you get it? How are you, smart sky in the world? How good you are. No, no, no. It's not that. I'll give you the title of this one. Oops. Didn't mean this in this one. Oops, didn't mean this in this one.
Adal
Didn't mean to send this one. Dick pics. No. Oh, never-ending dick pics.
JPC
Every example a clue as to just what I am. So each one of these examples has a clue to what this is.
Adal
Underdone. No. Okay. Undercooked pasta when it should have been wetter.
JPC
A tame kiss was given when passion was better. The curtains pulled open, a neighborly flash, a debit card left after getting some cash. Ordering vegan but being served ham. Every example of clue as to just what I am. Being ironic. It's not ironic. Being... Alright, you guys want the, uh, the anagram? Yeah. Tame kiss. Eight letters. Tame kiss. It's one word. It's plural. Mistake. Adal got it. It's mistakes. All of these are mistakes. I'm sorry.
00:52:50
Erin
Well, Adal got that because he was a mistake.
JPC
Thank you, Erin. Oh, don't try and high-five me. I won it so bad, though. So what happens there is Adal was up four to two, but then Erin made Adal slice off a big slice of his own ass and made him eat it on a plate, and so then Erin stole the points, and now it's three to three.
Adal
But I want it to be five to one, so that's Billy Joel Armstrong's height. Wait, I want to see a scene where Erin, you are in Boston, and JPC, you are a pageant host, and you're crowning Erin a Miss Steak. Okay. So this is like a real meat-centric town.
JPC
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I didn't think I could ever see it done, but at 5'8", eating 184 pounds of steak. And all those scallops! I'm sorry. Yes, she was almost disqualified for eating all the scallops.
Adal
She ate that fish too fast.
JPC
She ate that fish too fast. Your mistake, Erin Smoot.
00:53:52
Erin
Oh God, hooray!
Adal
Erin Beif was right there. Why didn't you take it? She lost. Fair and square, buddy.
Erin
Alright.
Adal
Get over it.
Erin
You know what's true about me today? I microwaved chicken. I took it out. The smell is so bad that I threw up in the trash. That's a sad stop. And that's why I'm honored to win Miss Steak. It has iron in it. I like it medium rare. Is my best crown made of me?
JPC
Yeah, it's not time for the speech. I gotta make my song. Look at her! Look at her sweat! She's eating so much meat. Why's her face so wet?
Erin
I feel like I'm pretty rare.
JPC
She's the mistake.
Erin
Do you have any more?
JPC
She's a mistreat. The family's in town, but the options are few. We've been to the Bean and the Lincoln Park Zoo. We went to the Shed, got belugued and sealed. We took selfies with Sue when we stopped by the field. We ate a deep-ditch pizza and tons of Al's- At what pizza? We ate a deep-ditch pizza- You mumblefuck. and tons of Al's beef. We saw that one show with Rifai, Coan, and Keif. We've done House of Blues and done the Green Mill, but their flight is tomorrow with a full day to kill. Blue Man Group. Parents, tourists. Pain very deep fills my soul as I know will end up the one place I don't want to go. Sears Tower. Parents, tourists. No. Those tours will end up the one place I don't want to go.
00:55:26
Erin
Wrigley Field.
JPC
We already said the field.
Adal
The worst places in Chicago are the Bean, Navy Pier. Here's what I'll say. There's stuff like if you go to like the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre or there's a few things that reside in Navy Pier that are great but the actual pier itself I mean it's not there's like it's like a build-a-bear and like a bubblegum shrimp
Erin
Okay, let's just shit on Erin's favorite things. Let's just shit on Erin's favorite things. I'd like to see a scene.
Adal
Wait, the other day when I saw you holding a Build a Bear and wearing a Above Gum Shrimp, sure, you don't mean me. Yeah, I was horny as hell. Hey ladies, ladies line up. Ladies or gents?
Erin
I want to see a scene and Adal, you're a kid and you just built your first Build a Bear and JPC, you're the bear that Adal just built.
Adal
Oh, I finally got you home and let you out of your box. Come out of your box, friend! I can't see. You're named Sarsaparilla. I didn't give you eyes because I don't want you to know shame. You gave me buttons. A bear cannot see out of buttons. I don't want you to see. I don't want you to have shame. I just said that. Don't make me fucking repeat myself.
00:56:38
JPC
I don't know. Sarsaparilla, you're my best friend. I don't know what shame is. Do you not want me to feel ashamed of knowing that I'm an inferior creation? No questions or your hand goes on the stove. Ah, well the stove's not on. I thought it was going to be hot. I was just expecting hot.
Adal
Why would I turn on the stove if I'm a kid? My name's not Sesperilla. Hey, it's the microwave. Yeah, your name is. No, my name is Dijon. I come from the planet Beforff. Your name is Dijon coming from the planet Beforff. What are you, some sort of rewrite from sitcom writers? Hey kid, what are you doing? Don't say that.
Erin
Honey, who are you talking to?
Adal
Oh, my mom played by Carole Kane. Seen!
JPC
Erin Snorted, would you hear that? Hi. One last one to take us out. This is for all of the marbles. Whoever gets this one wins all the points.
Erin
I love this.
Adal
Can I just say, when JPC said this is for all the marbles, he put his testicles on the table?
00:57:38
JPC
First of all, my testicles have been on the table this whole time.
Erin
We just don't notice.
JPC
That's how I got them all. I want you to play a horny pirate who's ashamed of his search history. Arr! Me porn vices! That's the whole puzzle.
Erin
Say it again.
JPC
I want you to play a horny pirate who's ashamed of his search history. Arr! Me porn vices! It's me porn vices.
Erin
I don't know. What's bold?
JPC
Me porn vices! And you're looking for two words, and it's not something with Erin.
Adal
Really? Erin's in there.
JPC
Erin can be in there, but... Erin's smoke is in there.
Adal
Nice?
Erin
No. Oh, the word nice isn't one of the words?
Adal
Oh, it's vice porn me.
Erin
Vice.
JPC
Oh, is it rice? It is not. Poonice? The title to this one is, if you need a segue, I want you to play a horny pirate who's ashamed of his search history. Arrr, me poor and vices. Keep in mind, this is coming from someone who's a fan of the show. Is this one of your sayings? No, it's not a saying. The name of the riddle is if you need a segue. I want you to play a horny pirate who's ashamed of his search history. Are me porn vices?
00:59:10
???
Scene?
JPC
Can we stop the show? Yep, scene is part of it, Erin. You got one of the words correct.
Adal
TPC, can we stop the show? Um, no. I don't feel good. I need to go home. You shouldn't feel good. I have a note for my mother.
JPC
I watched you eat 13 scallops.
Adal
I have a note for my mother. Let me see this.
JPC
You know that her profession is... Yeah, this says, I refuse to accept responsibility for Adal's behavior. Why would she write this? You're a 36-year-old man. We had a falling out.
Erin
Movie scene.
Adal
No.
Erin
Something scene.
Adal
Yes, something scene. We've, yes, that is correct. Wait, what would be important vices? What would be important vices? Okay.
JPC
You guys are gonna shit yourselves. Prom scene. My scene. No, not prom scene, not my scene. You have six letters left. For the first word. I want you to play a horny pirate who's ashamed of his search history. And then Adal would go, R, me porn vices. Oh, rom-fit. It's a rom-fit. I cannot believe that you two can't get this.
01:00:19
Erin
I'm tired.
Adal
I want to see a scene. Is that what it is? Let's see a scene. It's two words. Blank scene.
JPC
Blank scene. I want you to play a horny pirate. Blank scene. Yeah, both of the people in the booth know it.
Erin
Rif.
JPC
This is so funny. They're like yelling it. They're yelling it.
Erin
No hits, no hits.
JPC
Oh boy. It's infuriating. Wait, hold on. I hope the people are listening to this podcast and their brains are fucking melting.
Erin
I have the letters M-E-P-O-R-V-I.
Adal
You have an E?
Erin
There's two E's. Oh, there's two E's in scene.
Adal
Yeah. Never mind. You shouldn't have an E. I should get it on that alone.
JPC
No, but you didn't.
Erin
Vipe, vipe, vipe.
JPC
You have the letters. The letters that you have are I-M-P-R-O-V. Those are the letters that you have. Do you guys have different letters? I have P-O-R-V-I-M. I have I-M-P-R-O-V.
01:01:23
Erin
I have I-M-P-R-O-V. I spelled it out for you twice.
JPC
I spelled out the word improv twice. That is so funny. You guys couldn't get a bruv scene. Okay, well thank you so much.
Adal
Must be pretty easy when you have the answer in front of you. You mumble fuck.
Erin
He's a jerk. He's a jerk.
Adal
Our friend is a jerk. Our friend is a jerk.
Erin
I hate our friend. Our friend is a jerk. Our friend is a jerk and we're not happy. Happy for him! One day I hope Pat and Sandy are two sources for riddles and nothing else.
01:02:30
Adal
Adal, do you have anything that you would like to plug? The Titanium Physics podcast, which I just guessed it on, which is me learning from some physicists and scientists from MIT learning about black holes. It was a fantastic time and we had Katie Bauman on was teaching me. She's the young woman who took a picture of the first black hole. So she got to tell me about Black Holes. And I also guess it on a podcast called The McElroy Brothers Will Be in Trolls World Tour. I did a scene that was a reenactment and I got to play in a scene alongside Lin-Manuel Miranda, which is now something I'm very proud to say I did. That's cool. We weren't in the same room, but he played a wolf.
JPC
Oh, that's less cool. Erin, a lot less cool. Erin, do you have anything that you would like to plug?
Erin
My team that I have with my best friends, Wet Bus, performs every Thursday at 10 p.m. at I.O. and if you want free tickets to that, please let me know. I'd love to give you free tickets and say hi to you after.
01:03:37
JPC
Great if you would like to find me you could go to Twitter I'm at JP so fly if you'd like to find me on Instagram I'm at shark barkman if you would like to find something on Netflix there's a search feature you can go to the search feature on Netflix you can type in a person who's in the thing that you're interested in seeing or the name of the thing that you're interested in seeing
Erin
What if you type in porn?
JPC
Is Netflix a porn website? It's going to pull up a whole bunch of options. Choose the thing that you want to watch. They have seasons of television shows. They have movies, original content. Have a ball. Just enjoy watching Netflix.
Adal
If you type in porn, it comes up with Hot Girls Wanted, Zach and Mary Make a Porno, The Emperor of Porn, and Tom Segura Stand Up.
Erin
That's definitely what I'm going to jerk off to later.
JPC
And Erin, if I were to go to the Netflix search and type in J-U-P, what would the first thing I see be?
Adal
Jupiter Ascending maybe? Cloud Atlas. Bye forever! Hey Riddle Riddle.
