JPC

The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Oh, then we're going to finish. He was the captain of an airplane. He stabbed him with the knife, and the horse was seen riding.

00:01:12

Adal

No poop, all Poirot, it's Hey Riddle Riddle. Erin just made a gross face.

Erin

I didn't do anything.

JPC

I would like to ask a question immediately.

Adal

What's Poirot? Poirot is the detective in... He's a famous French... What the fuck, Erin?

Erin

He's a French mime who solves mysteries on trains.

JPC

Wait, is this common knowledge? Do I not know about a famous French mind?

Adal

It's the detective in most of Agatha Christie's novels.

Erin

Kenneth Branagh played him recently in... Too Terrible Effect.

JPC

Was that Murder on the Orient Express?

Erin

I saw that on my birthday a couple years ago.

JPC

Oh, really? I also didn't see it. It looked like it had a star-studded cast of fucking fuckwass.

Adal

Leslie Odom Jr. and the rest.

JPC

I believe in a Hamilton.

Adal

Was that the darkness? Sure. The darkness singing Hamilton.

Erin

Olivia Colman was in it.

Adal

I believe in a Hamilton.

JPC

Wasn't there someone problematic in it? Johnny Depp maybe? Johnny Depp.

Adal

Yeah, okay, that's why I didn't see it.

Erin

He's the one they killed though.

Adal

Oh, good. Ooh, that works out. Oh, that's good. But Poirot, yeah, so I thought to do, just to mix it up from no shit all Sherlock, I thought to maybe do no crap all Christie, or no crap all Clouseau.

00:02:21

JPC

Okay, okay.

Adal

Which is like something fun to mix it up, but I was met with Erin shuttering with just being openly a gas.

Erin

I was just scared that we're gonna have to do French accents.

JPC

And I didn't know who Poirot was, and I learned something today, and guess what? Any day where I can learn something is a great day for me.

Adal

The two most famous mimes, Marcel Marceau and Marcel the Monkey from Friends.

JPC

I would say the fat, ugly, naked guy is my favorite dog from Friends.

Erin

Yeah, quiet, quiet, physical comedy for years.

JPC

And I'm JPC.

Erin

And I'm Erin Keif, sorry. I think everyone's doing great. My face is not telling the truth, which is I'm happy to be here.

Adal

Hi Riddle.

Erin

No, no, no, no, no.

JPC

Thank you. By the way, that was the most lyrics to a song Erin's ever sang. Usually what Erin sings is like... Yeah, it's usually... Yeah.

00:03:27

Erin

All you need is the vowels of the song.

Adal

Trumpet sounds. That's true.

JPC

Who's our old...

Adal

Mime Riddles.

JPC

Okay, Erin's miming. She's trapped in a box. She's suffocating. Erin is dead. The top of the box is kind of at an angle. It's a true box.

Erin

My arms aren't strong enough. It's more of a trapezoid. Is everyone okay? Is everyone having a good day before we get into some old days?

JPC

No! Can I tell you, quite honestly, I'm having a wonderful day. It's just been a great day. It's been very relaxing. It's been like a perfect Sunday. I haven't had a Sunday this great in a long time.

Adal

Well, don't be fucking braggadocious because they never wrote a movie called It's a Wonderful Day, did they? Because shit changes. So get back to me in 363, my man. They never wrote that movie? No. Did something go horribly awry?

JPC

I have to go back!

Adal

Oh, he went back in his chair. He fell out of his chair. Now he's trapped in a box. He just did those dead arms that got either side of it. Vampire arms.

Erin

And fell back in his chair.

Adal

Wait, JPC, who's Frank Capra? What year is it? Mad TV, Best Room of Thousand Voices.

00:04:33

Erin

Then there's still time. Is that what you said?

Adal

What year is it? 2019, something's going wrong. Then there's still time.

Erin

Adal, are you having a good day?

Adal

I am having a good day. I've had a good couple days. It was my birthday June 1st. I had a great time. It was yesterday. We just gave away when we record. But I had a wonderful birthday. I had a wonderful time. But I did just move. So that's always stressful to be like, I own so much stuff. But I hired movers, which is great to see other people lug around. Because I've said before, and I'm not being hyperbolic, I have about 1,500 books.

Erin

Can't take it with you, my man.

Adal

Well I did to my new place, but I had like 45 small boxes full of books and they're all like 80 pounds so I was so happy to see other people ruin their backs for money.

JPC

I gotta ask you, so when you move, do you like get rid of things or do you take everything that you have and bring it with you?

Adal

I'm like an Egyptian pharaoh. I put everything in my bag. It's my sarcophagi.

00:05:38

JPC

I love my cats.

Adal

I'm a bit of a sarcophagi. I got rid of a ton of clothes. I just have a lot of excess clothes and stuff.

JPC

I got rid of a ton of that.

Adal

I don't know if you'll ever see that I'll wear one flannel. I actually have multiple of several flannels.

Erin

It's a shirt that's painted on him.

Adal

That's my tattoo, my man. But yeah, I got rid of a lot of kitchen appliances, a lot of stuff that I just don't use, but I still just have way too much stuff.

JPC

I'm moving very soon and I'm like I throw away like everything or give away things if they're worth everything. You throw away everything? I throw away everything. It's a problem.

Adal

And you're famously always at my place asking for something.

JPC

I'm just shivering naked and cold outside the studio.

Adal

Can I borrow some sugar and an oven and bowls and a plate and something to cook?

JPC

But I just decluttered some stuff and figured out which board games I've given away and which ones I'm keeping.

Adal

I just did the same thing.

JPC

I'm very excited. Whenever I move, I'm very excited to figure out what I haven't touched in a year and get rid of it.

Adal

And that would be your girlfriend, right? And yourself? Yeah. And you've been dating for 10 months? The calendar year. The calendar year. Oh, I love that movie, Judy Dench Naked? I can't remember who's in that movie. Wait, there's a movie? I have to go back.

00:06:52

Erin

Josh Cadd, Kenneth Branagh, Johnny Depp, Olivia Colman.

Adal

The, it's, she's a dame. Judy Dench?

Erin

Helen Mirren.

Adal

Helen Mirren.

JPC

My favorite dame. And just a fox. Aaron Cole. Speaking of my favorite dames, how was your day, Ben? How's your dame? Good. You had a good dame?

Erin

I had a really good day. Oh no, you know what I did do though? I went down a rabbit hole.

Adal

You went down on a rabbit?

Erin

I went down on a rabbit.

Adal

Is that why your arms are so covered in dirt?

Erin

Did you get good luck? Yeah, I guess so. But we're not in love, so it's super awkward out there.

Adal

You have carrot all over your face.

Erin

I know I do! I know! It's a choice I made for myself.

JPC

Wait, if you have carrot all over your face, you may have gone down on a snowman, not a rabbit. What do you think the carrot goes on a snowman?

Adal

I'll show you where the carrot goes. Carrot, two pieces of coal, dick and balls. I think you're the human who knows. Is this the show now?

JPC

We haven't even talked about Riddles.

Erin

I'm so sorry.

JPC

Riddles sucks. Erin, what rabbit hole did you go down? I have to know. I'll never fucking be able to pass it.

00:07:55

Erin

YouTube videos that make you cry. I watch videos of people telling their step-parents that they want to be adopted by them. Oh shit. Yes. And then I watch videos of people telling their kids that they're going to be big brothers and sisters.

Adal

They're going to be a big brother?

Erin

Yeah, they're gonna be on that CGS's Big Brother.

JPC

I don't want to have a show man. Let me guess, did you watch any videos of people coming home from war and having their dogs greet them?

Erin

Yes.

Adal

If I want to cry, my go-to is ocular implants.

Erin

Oh, and they're hearing their parents voice for the first time. I didn't do that today. I did do, for the first time, first looks at weddings when people see their spouse for the first time, and they all cry. And I just, like, will cry with them. It's just fun to smile with them.

JPC

It's not really for the first time. Did you check to see the divorce rate on those samples? I would hope it's not. It's all a race.

Erin

I did think of that after. I was like, oh, like 60% of people get divorced, right?

JPC

60%? Is that the statistic now? I don't know, let me ask.

00:08:58

Adal

We're all products of divorce except for Erin, right? Yes. So I could have just said J.P.C.

JPC

and I. My parents were married when they had me. Ooh! Mine were not. Famously. Famously.

Adal

I will say, just because we talked about it briefly a moment ago, folks, as you get older, it's all about life experiences. Don't buy stuff. Don't ask for stuff. Go out for a nice meal, travel, go down on your wives, and your rabbits. Unburden yourselves, man. This has been Hey Selfie Help Help.

JPC

Hey Selfie Help Help. Erin, you're old man puzzles this week. I'm ready.

Erin

I'm so sorry. That took so long.

JPC

You know what? That needed to be done because honestly if we didn't get to it now, it would have just come out during the show.

Erin

I have some warm-up riddles from Ashley, who says, maybe these are jokes? I don't know. I'll let you be the judge. Ooh, is this Riddle Court? Yeah, we're gonna have to go, I'm sure. This is a sport where you spell the sport's name backwards and change one letter, and you get one of the pieces of equipment used in the sport. What is it, and what is the equipment?

00:10:04

JPC

Spelling bee, and you get an e-bus with me.

Adal

The sport backwards and change one letter is a piece of equipment used in the sport.

Erin

This is a sport where you spell the sport's name backwards and change one letter.

Adal

James, did you know that hockey backwards is hockey stick? I know this, I know the answer. Wait, hold on.

Erin

So before you give the answer then, I want to see a scene where Adal, you are the proctor or whatever it is at a spelling bee. And JPC is favored to win and you're giving him the word that will determine whether or not he wins the spelling bee.

Adal

Okay, for the final round, Mikey Evergreen, your word is procrastination.

JPC

Before I begin, I would just like to say that a lot of people didn't think a little boy could beat a computer at spelling. And I know the computer just got out on horniness because... Some words are not in the dictionary.

00:11:06

Adal

And that's where we went wrong. We tempted fate and we were burned.

JPC

And now Mikey, little Mikey, is going to be the big champion and is going to settle this once and for all. Can I please have the word used in a sentence?

Adal

Okay. By giving the spiel you just did, you might be accused of procrastination. I just want to say that.

JPC

I want to thank my mom and my dad for raising me right. Didn't they die? Yes, famously. Oh, they were killed by the celebrity? No, they were a body of Clyde.

Adal

Famous... Famous Bonnie and Clyde Evergreen. The word is procrastination from the Latin to put off. Okay, procrastination.

JPC

What is the answer to the riddle I've given you? Do you need more time?

00:12:09

Adal

The answer to the riddle is soccer and erosco. It's off the classic sports equipment for soccer and erosco.

JPC

Give me a hand. No, I obviously never know the answer to these. So let's toss out some famous sports. The answer to this riddle is polo and the word is flop because everyone knows you use a flop to play polo. You know Chevy Chase great at polo.

Erin

I thought he really had the answer but he doesn't. Horseshoes Yeah, do the thing where you're naming sports.

Adal

Okay, football and basketball, baseball. Those are all out because... Nope. Too many. Really?

Erin

No, no, I'm saying you're right.

Adal

Yeah.

JPC

Soccer, track. Is this an Olympic sport?

Erin

No. Bowling. I don't think so.

JPC

It's not an Olympic sport.

Erin

If it is, I'm an idiot, but I really don't think it is.

JPC

Do you play it in the water?

Erin

No.

JPC

Do you play it on the table?

Erin

You've done it wrong if you're in the water.

JPC

Ooh. I'll see your bet and raise you. What can you do playing teams? Is it not polo?

00:13:10

Erin

You can't really play on teams. It's an individual sport.

Adal

You can't play on teams. Archery. It's an individual sport.

Erin

I'd say so.

JPC

Is it Birkenau? Is it Birkenau? Is it Birkenau? Is it Birkenau backwards penis?

Erin

That's in the Olympics.

JPC

Erin, be honest with me. Is it Birkenau?

Erin

Hey Riddle.

Adal

I want to see a scene. Erin and JPC, you are two parents. Erin, earlier you actually walked in on your son masturbating. He's fast asleep now, and the two of you are having a drink downstairs trying to cope with all this, but neither of you can actually say the word jerking off from masturbation. Hey. Oh, and you know each other. You've seen each other before the wedding.

00:14:16

JPC

Here, do you want another whiskey?

Erin

Yeah, maybe make it a double. You know, it's totally normal to...

JPC

Oh, yeah, I mean little boys are gonna touch their Shependakans and they're going to Metafraid.

Erin

Yeah, like no one should be embarrassed to... Everybody!

JPC

Everybody! We all do it. We all. We all.

Erin

Shit.

JPC

Shit.

Erin

God. Shit.

JPC

God. Everyone does. Okay. It's nothing to be.

Erin

You gotta keep it down. The neighbors are going to think that you're masturbating right now.

JPC

I what? Oh no. I what?

Adal

Say it. Is it darts?

Erin

No.

Adal

Is it pool?

Erin

No.

Adal

What are some solo sports? Solo sports. Lightsabers? Hang gliding.

Erin

And there's like a joke version of this sport.

Adal

Oh, funny basketball. Is it smoking a big cigar? Yeah, see?

JPC

It's smoking a cigar.

Erin

There's a funny version of this sport. I mean, I'm going to offend someone. I find this sport to be very boring to participate in and watch in person or on TV.

00:15:25

JPC

Somebody just threw down their jacks and was like, what the fuck is she talking about?

Erin

But the joke version, I'll do on any date.

Adal

On any date?

Erin

Yeah, I'll go on a date in the summer.

Adal

Funny sex?

Erin

Do a joke.

Adal

Beach volleyball? No! Do a joke. Individual! Is this specific to a season?

Erin

You can't play in the winter.

JPC

You can't play it outside. You only need one person to play this?

Erin

I guess so, yeah.

JPC

Surfing?

Erin

Yeah, I think more than one person does it. You have to be against people.

JPC

You have to be against people. You have to be against people? I hadn't seen.

Erin

It's also a sport I don't know anything about.

JPC

Oh boy. Fuck, just the answer. I'll take these.

Erin

No, I just can't believe you're... This is like a major sport.

JPC

This is a major sport, but it's not the Olympics.

Erin

You do not have to be in shape to play this sport.

Adal

Baseball. Bowling.

Erin

No.

JPC

It's not baseball. You don't have to be in shape to play this sport.

Adal

You don't play it in a bar?

Erin

No, but I will tell you, people talk business while they're playing this.

Adal

Golf. Squash.

Erin

Golf.

00:16:26

JPC

Golf. And you change one letter and it's, oh my god, it's club. Nope. No, it's not. Golf backwards is flog. Flog. And you gotta have clogs. You change one letter.

Adal

Clog, blog? Nope. Flog? Uh, frogs. You gotta have frogs.

Erin

No, just change the vowel.

Adal

Flag.

Erin

Yep.

JPC

Ugh, you knew the flag. Oh yes, yeah, the flags go in the holes. Yeah, sure. You think golf is a boring sport?

Erin

Yeah, do you like golf?

JPC

I hate golf. Um, I don't think golf is a boring sport, but I've said I've never ever been more enthralled by watching a sport than watching Tiger Woods cheat on his wife so many times. That man has endurance. He has damage. Have I ever told you my Tiger Woods story? No. So you remember, I don't even remember what year it was when the whole Tiger Woods thing broke that he had been like having affairs all over the place. 2005 or something. My grandma suffered, this is a bit sad, but she is still alive. My grandma suffered a massive heart attack and had sepsis. That's your Tiger Woods story? It's the same year? So she had sepsis, she went in for an operation, which is like blood poisoned and had a massive heart attack. She was expected to die. All of my family like came into the hospital. She's on life support. They said her heart was beating like 5%. She is like, all intents and purposes is we're all saying goodbye to grandma. Makes a miraculous recovery. The doctors are like, we can't explain why she is coming back to life, we can't explain why her heart, we thought, she was like in her 80s or late 70s, there's no reason why her heart would be strong enough to just make a comeback. And she came back and she was on life support for like four days in the ICU and they took the breathing tube out and you know you're you can't really talk when the breathing tube comes out because it's been there for four days and your throat is all dry and so she's like over the course of a couple days she's like starting to talk And the first thing that she asks my mom, who was sitting by her bed listening to her, was, did Tiger Woods have an affair? And we're like, what? It took us so long to be able to decipher what she was saying.

00:18:38

Adal

She was just speaking gibberish. She couldn't hear the news.

JPC

She asked us, no, did Tiger Woods have an affair? And we're like, what? No. Did Tiger Woods have an affair? It's an affair, like four months later the news breaks. Tiger Woods has an affair and it's like everywhere.

Erin

Are you joking?

JPC

How did she know that? I don't know. Did you ever ask her? She doesn't remember. She remembered no part of them.

Erin

Holy shit.

JPC

Why haven't I heard this story before? The only thing that I can think that is true is that my grandma died, crossed over to the other side. God was like, what's one thing you want to know? God's like, it's like a new person's coming in. God's like, oh, actually, come here. Look at this. That's Tiger Woods. He fucking ran. That's Tiger Woods. Then my grandma's like, what? That's Tiger Woods? And God's like, I know shit. Oh, Sue Stewart? You shouldn't be here. Get the fuck out of here. Somebody get her out of here. And then they ushered her off. They put her back in her body. And then she came up and she's like, is Tiger Woods having an affair?

Adal

What's your grandma's name? Sue Stewart.

JPC

I thought you said Sue Storm. Sue Storm. Oh fuck, this is a comic book I'm thinking you're fantastic for.

Erin

Wait, that is absolutely crazy.

00:19:38

JPC

Isn't that bonkers?

Erin

That should be the first story you tell people when you meet them.

JPC

The craziest part about this story is I cannot remember if I'm making it all up. That's for sure for real. Now, I don't remember, my mom would probably know better what the timeline was, but it was well before the story broke of Tiger Woods having affairs. My other thing was that since Tiger Woods, he had been having affairs for a long time. I love how much we're talking about Tiger Woods having affairs. My other thing that I think could have happened is that my grandma in her 70s had had an affair with Tiger I love that she wasn't worried about you or the trauma that she had just been through or anything

Adal

Here's what I'll say. Is this your dad's mom? This is my mom's mom. I was going to say, your dad does look like Darius Rucker. So if we follow that backwards. Oh boy, I'm really glad.

00:20:43

JPC

Your grandpa is Tiger Woods.

Erin

Second riddle of the episode.

JPC

Shit.

Erin

What do you get when you cross a Schnauzer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Poodle?

Adal

Dead Dog. You should not play God. They're all fighting for sex. Twelve legs. A Cocker Spaniel. What was it? A Shih Tzu?

Erin

A Schnauzer.

Adal

A Schnauzer?

Erin

This is a joke.

Adal

Okay. Riddle three.

Erin

Schnauzer. Cocker Spaniel and a Poodle.

Adal

A Schnock-a-Doodle-Doo.

Erin

Oh, close.

Adal

A Cock-a-Doodle-Doo. Schnock-a-Spaniel.

JPC

A Cock-a-Poodle-Doo.

Adal

Is it schnuck my conk? Is it schnuck my fucker conk?

Erin

All your guesses sound like the masturbating sounds of a changing party.

???

I kind of sound schnuck-a-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo.

Adal

I mean, if I'm close and it's a joke, let's just move on.

00:21:47

???

What was the closest one I said?

Adal

Cock-a-snoodle-doo.

Erin

It's cock-a-snoodle-doo.

JPC

Cock-a-snoodle-doo.

Erin

I wrote this at age 12, I think, says Ashley.

JPC

Wow, Ashley. And Ashley can't tell if those are jokes. Ashley, I'll go ahead and say it right now. Those are jokes. Those are 100% jokes.

Erin

I want my alarm to wake up in the morning now to be all your guesses in this ad.

JPC

God, that's so funny. You're going to change that out from, welcome to noon.

Erin

A lot of people tweeted us because they wanted you to say, welcome to June.

Adal

Here we go, let's clean take, clean take. JBC at clean take, clean take.

???

Ready?

Adal

Here we go. Three, two, clean take whatever you like. You got it?

???

I will never stop falling for this.

00:22:50

Adal

Welcome to Spoon. They should play before all Spoon comes in.

Erin

Do you know the Leslie Ugham's video of her messing up the words to that song in front of a huge crowd? To what song? June is busting out all over.

Adal

Who's Leslie Ugham?

Erin

I think she's a singer?

Adal

Wait for it. I'm the one thing in life you can't do. Oh, she's on SNL.

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

Yeah.

Erin

Yeah, that's cool. But it is the funniest thing I've ever seen. We'll maybe post it on Twitter or something the day that this comes out. Hey. She does what I do with songs, which is just make up the lyrics.

JPC

Oh, that's fun.

Erin

She goes, June is busting out all over, all over the meadows and the hill and the sniffing and the fussing and the sniffing.

Adal

But is it her song? She chose not to... She chose to sing it.

Erin

Yeah. She chose to sing it. She's in front of the crowd. She's like in an outfit. She dressed up. She's ready to go. Didn't somebody...

Adal

Didn't somebody famously have like a like was singing the Star Spangled Banner and was just like oh yeah was like oh shit I forgot the words and just was like let me ask you this question though would you go to a concert where the premise was okay it's a I'm gonna I'm gonna do Maroon 5.

00:24:04

JPC

Do you guys like Maroon 5?

Adal

No. Would it be like rushing to let karaoke?

JPC

No, no. I would pay for that. Would you go to a Maroon 5 concert if guaranteed they were going to play all their hits, but they weren't going to sing the lyrics to them right at all?

Adal

100%. 100%.

JPC

I would pay so much money for that. For the story alone. I would go to that concert, because I don't like Maroon 5 either, but I would just be like, and she hears her blood, and she hears some gloves. Tacos for sale, but she don't wanna eat no Grammy. I would love that, okay.

Erin

Unreal. Please, go watch that right now if you really want to laugh.

JPC

Can we do any fucking riddles this episode?

Erin

I'm trying! I blame Ashley. Alright, this is another riddle from Megan. Who's Megan? Who's Megan? Megan's great. I loved this email. This is a great email.

Adal

We jumped listeners midstream.

Erin

We were on Ashley. And then I said, thank you, Ashley. Thank you, Ashley.

JPC

Thank you, Ashley.

00:25:04

Erin

We appreciate you. Now we're on to Megan.

JPC

Oh, I love Megan.

Erin

And Megan loves all of us. I want to see you sing.

Adal

Erin, you have been tasked with, what's, oh boy, can't remember the fucking name. Oh I'll help you Adal. The Pledge of Allegiance. So you've been tasked, you're a substitute teacher. You forgot that in, is this still a thing in school so you do Pledge of Allegiance?

Erin

I think so.

Adal

Yeah, we're all in school. We're all young. So you've been, you're a substitute teacher, you forgot that when you're a teacher you do have to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. So JPC and I are your students and you have forgotten all the lyrics. Words aren't right. Words. Just words. And you have to make do.

Erin

Okay, so I figured we would just put on a movie and hang out.

Adal

We start every day with the Pledge of Allegiance. Yeah, it's morning announcements and then Pledge of Allegiance. We call it the POA.

Erin

Isn't that a little like spooky, a little like 1984, like you're just like pledging the allegiance?

JPC

1984. No, nationalism is stronger now than ever.

Erin

Is it?

JPC

Oh yeah, ever since the national.

00:26:05

Erin

I mean, yeah, everyone knows the Pledge of Allegiance. Like, we don't have to prove to each other that we know the Pledge of Allegiance. Like, let's just move on.

JPC

Actually, a lot of nationalists are winning Sway in Europe. Do you mean Sway the MTV VJ? Yeah, we're young.

Adal

We're young.

Erin

Um, yeah, so like I think we need to move on.

Adal

It's time for the Pledge of Allegiance. You have to lead us.

Erin

Okay. Let's see that thing where we talk at once.

Adal

Ready? Okay. Hands on our hearts.

Erin

I'm going to put my hands right here.

Adal

Ready? You're putting a, you're making a teapot.

Erin

Am I? Uh, and ready? Let's do this. I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle.

???

Here is my spout. Mrs. Thrustbottom.

Erin

When I get all steamed up, then that's not my name. Tip! We should call people what we think they should be called.

JPC

Also, that's the name that's written on the butt of your sweatpants.

Erin

Is it?

JPC

Yeah, it says Juicy and then Mrs. Thrust Bottom. It says Mrs. Thrust Bottom, but we can see that you're clearly wearing a wedding ring.

00:27:07

Erin

And that was the Pledge of Allegiance! Alright, this is a riddle. Are you ready? Meghan. Meghan, maybe, but I think it's Meghan.

JPC

Oh, I hope it's Meghan.

Erin

And she says hi, and she loves us, and this is the riddle.

JPC

Susie... We love you.

Erin

I guess just I do.

JPC

I don't. If I did, I'd fucking tell you, Megan.

Erin

She said, I guarantee this won't be the worst riddle you've ever read on the show. Take that, Nathan. Leave it. Levi. Levi.

JPC

Well, if she said Levi, then it's definitely good.

Erin

Levy. Levy. The Riddle.

JPC

Okay.

Erin

Susie went camping with her friends in California. It was a remote location and quite dark, but there was just enough starlight to see at least a few feet in front of her. After eating some snacks and drinking some wine, Susie settled into her sleeping bag for the night. After a few minutes, she could hear her friend Kevin getting into his sleeping bag next to her.

Adal

Oh, sorry. Sorry, Erin.

JPC

This is a short story.

Erin

Oh yeah, but it's lovely, so settle in.

JPC

I hope it ends with these two kids fucking.

00:28:08

Erin

He was quite close, but with alarm, Susie realized she could not see him. She panicked, thinking that she had suddenly gone blind. What happened?

Adal

So she drinks some wine and ate some snacks. She's a kid camping in LA. Is that what's wrong with the story? So wait. It's a story with home. So you can only see a few feet in front of her. Were the feet human feet?

Erin

Yeah. I don't know what that means. Yes.

Adal

They were human feet? Wait, she could see a few human feet?

Erin

She settled her sleeping bag for the night. For a few minutes, she could hear her friend Kevin getting into his sleeping bag next to hers. He was quite close, but with alarm, Susie realized she could not see him. She panicked, thinking she had suddenly gone blind. What happened?

Adal

He was under the ground.

???

He's under the earth.

Adal

He's a night sleeper. He's a ground sleeper. He's ground sleeper. He's digging holes inside. Like Lord of the Rings.

JPC

Erin, would any normal person be able to see Kevin from their sleeping bag?

Erin

Yes.

JPC

Okay. Were they sleeping in a tent or were they sleeping outside?

00:29:08

Erin

That's a good question. No, they were sleeping under the stars.

Adal

Under the stars. But it's in LA, stars and celebrities. Yes.

Erin

Yeah, they were sleeping under a bunch of celebrities.

Adal

Hey, do you guys want to go sleep under Sarah Jessica Parker? So I'm still confused. So she went to get snacks and drinks. She's in LA in a remote location in California, not LA, California.

Erin

So she's in California, she's camping under the stars.

Adal

And when you said she could only see a few feet in front of her, I asked if that was human feet and you said yes.

Erin

Yeah, I don't remember when I said that she could see a few feet in front of her.

Adal

Oh, so maybe Adal's wrong. Did you make that up?

Erin

I didn't say that.

Adal

Oh yeah, she does. Okay.

Erin

But there was just enough starlight to see a few feet in front of her.

Adal

I thought maybe that was like the wording that we were supposed to latch on to.

Erin

It's not a wording thing.

Adal

Okay. So it's measurement feet. She can see a few feet in front of her. Her friend Kevin goes into a sleeping bag. Think of stories with holes.

Erin

This is a story with holes. This feels like a listener written story with holes.

Adal

Her friend goes into a sleeping bag. He's a few feet away, but she can't see him. She thought she went blind.

00:30:12

JPC

Does it have anything to do with the stars going away?

Erin

Oh, were her eyes closed? No, and her eyesight was fine. You know what I first thought? You said this was going to be that she couldn't see him for who he was.

Adal

That's not it. Did he get eaten by a bear?

Erin

Yeah, he got eaten by a bear.

JPC

You got it now. Is he alive?

Erin

He's alive.

JPC

Okay. Was there something bright that happened? Like a very bright flash or something?

Erin

No, that's a good guess. Not close to what it is, but that would also be a good answer, I think. This is a hilarious, ridiculous answer.

Adal

In what direction should we start to mentally navigate? Uh, I'm gonna read... Is it a tangible thing? Is it like he's behind like a palm fron or something?

JPC

Give me it one more time and I love the word palm fron. Palm fron.

Erin

I'm gonna name my first two kids palm and fron.

JPC

My favorite LaCroix is palm fron. I want palm fron.

Erin

Susie went camping with her friends in California. It was a remote location and quite dark, but there was just enough starlight to see a few feet in front of her. After eating some snacks and drinking some wine... Eclipse. After eating some snacks and drinking some wine, Susie settled into her sleeping bag for the night.

00:31:21

Adal

The snacks she ate were like some sort of Harry Potter shit that made her eyes go dark.

Erin

You're closest with that.

Adal

Did she get drunk?

Erin

She got drunk, but that's not really the issue.

Adal

Is it the snacks or the wine?

JPC

That's not, is the snacks the issue?

Erin

It's the snacks.

Adal

It's the snacks. She ate, she couldn't see.

JPC

Was it a specific type of snack that makes this?

Erin

Yes. Snacks that make you go blind? It's a specific ingredient.

JPC

Oh, reverse carrots? Did she eat, like, does she have an allergy and it made her eyes swell up?

Erin

That would be such a good answer, but that's not the true answer. I'll tell you what the beginning of this email is. Unfortunately, I have a terrible imagination, so I'm submitting this riddle inspired by real life events.

JPC

Was the snacks that she ate poop? Did she get mad she could only see red?

Erin

No, so they had an ingredient in them that made her maybe do something she wouldn't ordinarily do.

Adal

Get horny? A snack that makes you horny? You've never had horn nuts? Horn nuts?

00:32:26

Erin

I would like to see a commercial, Adal, about a snack that makes you horny. And dealer's choice for whatever the snack is.

Adal

Hey Thomas. Yes? Can we trade items in our lunch bag? My mom packed me fruit roll-ups.

JPC

Oh well my dad packed me this pudding.

Adal

Oh shit! Is that fuck pudding?

JPC

Uh, oh god, it is. Why would my parents back me fuck pudding?

Adal

I heard that if you put your dick in fuck pudding, you get horny as hell. But it has to be limp. What?

JPC

Why on earth would my parents give this to me? To send me off to school?

Adal

Fuck pudding? What are they trying to tell me? I don't know. And I don't know why I said fruit roll-ups because that's our competitor.

Erin

Fuck pudding. Put your limp dick in.

Adal

I love that in that commercial they cussed, they named a competing brand.

Erin

They're advertising to us. I was also a child with a voice like this. Adal, you are the head of an ad agency and JPC is the one who did this major fuck up.

00:33:39

JPC

Okay, and that's the commercial. What do you think? Thoughts? Initial thoughts? I think it's fucking brilliant.

Adal

Thank you. Alright? Thank you. But I think it's brilliant in sort of a breaking the waves style.

???

Yes.

Adal

Does that make sense? Yes. It's like funny games. You ever see funny games?

???

Sure, yeah.

Adal

Yeah, it's like that.

???

It's ahead of its time, alright?

Adal

What year is it?

JPC

What's that? What year is it? Oh, I had so many cocaine snacks before this that I can't even see you right now.

Erin

Fuck pudding. Put your limp dick in.

JPC

Wait, that was the commercial?

Adal

And that's the commercial. What do you think? I think it's pretty good. I love a commercial that's so meta. It's a meeting about the commercial. Advertisers, we are ready to work for you.

Erin

Fuck pudding. Put your lipstick in. That was the commercial. It's talking about how meta it is.

JPC

SNL doing game show parodies, single-handedly keeping the concept of game shows alive in pop culture.

Adal

I feel like Keenan Thompson has played a game show host more than Pat Sajak's hosted. So real quick. There's an ingredient in her snacks. Did it make you go blind?

00:34:50

Erin

No, but it makes you not yourself.

Adal

Well, here's what I was going to say, not to do with this riddle. Real quick, based on us making a commercial for food, the three of us, let's say right now, what do we want? Do we want to write a TV show? Do we want a riddle book deal?

Erin

What's our dream for the three of us?

Adal

Let's put it out there.

Erin

I would like a TV show where we solve riddles.

JPC

I would like a podcast where we don't have to do riddles. If only we could get out of our contract. Adal says that he wants to do a TV show where we don't do riddles. That's it. We settle on that. It's NCIS.

Erin

If you ever want the three of us to go insane, make us write a riddle book together.

00:35:52

JPC

I would love it if we did a show together where it was literally just like an NCIS clone, but with all of us.

Erin

Exact same structure. All the same episode titles and plot points. All the same guest actors.

JPC

Erin, I do not know. I do not know a snack that you would eat. Is it sugary?

Erin

No, it has one ingredient that makes you... Did it make you go blind? No, it doesn't make you go blind, it makes you a little dumber.

JPC

Oh, mushrooms? A little slower. Is it? Oh.

Erin

Closer.

JPC

Like a weed brownie?

Erin

Yes! One of the snacks Susie had eaten were muffins with marijuana baked into them. She was incredibly high and realized after a few moments that the reason she could not see Kevin was that her sleeping bag was pulled over her face.

Adal

That's fucking atrocious.

JPC

I was gonna say, I was gonna say legit that she got drunk and went into her sleeping bag like upside down or something like that. So that was, I was going to be kind of close.

Erin

JPC, you're at a sleepover, it's like a bunch of young boys and we're all camping in the backyard and you crawled into your sleeping bag the wrong way but you're trying to save face like you did it on purpose because you don't want to get teased by us.

00:37:05

JPC

Alright guys, everybody have a good night. Good night! It was fun doing... You too, Tommy. Yeah, it was fun doing campfire with everybody. It was what? Fun doing campfire with everybody. It was fun doing a campfire?

Erin

Yep. See you in the morning, Tommy.

JPC

Alright, see you in the morning. Okay.

Erin

How's everything going over there? Did you crawl into your sleeping bag? You look like a moth in a cocoon.

Adal

Um, no. You look like a butterfly in a chrysalis.

JPC

This is the new REI feet hydro cooling sleeping bag. Michael Stipe sleeps like that? Yeah, it keeps your feet cool.

Erin

You're yelling through a little hole at the bottom of your sleeping bag. That's why your voice isn't muffled.

JPC

Yeah, you can use this hole if you need to drink water during the night.

Erin

You're gonna suffocate Tommy.

JPC

Actually, are you two frickin' poor to understand what this is? It's a pinnacle of technology. But you have the same sleeping bag as I do.

00:38:05

Adal

Jeff's parents got divorced. What? Yeah. But they have that YouTube video where they saw each other for the first time.

JPC

Yeah, I went downhill from there. 60% of YouTube videos ended divorced.

Adal

Did he marry his dog that he came home to after he did a tour?

JPC

You don't marry a dog. Why go out for steak when you got hamburgers at home? You eat hamburgers at home, you're poor. Tommy! Alright, while we ponder the idea of eating hamburgers at home and being poor, why don't we take a little break and we will be right back.

Adal

Hey, Japes and Erin, do you wear clothes that don't fit? Yes, almost exclusively. I got these clothes from a little boy.

Erin

I got these clothes from JPC.

Adal

Are you listening to a podcast you hate? Currently, right now, yes. Or doing a podcast you hate? No, I love this podcast. Okay, well what I'm gleaning from these answers is that you've taken control of the rest of your life, now it's time to take control of your sleep.

00:39:12

JPC

I don't know that I've taken control of my life. My shoes, you'll notice, are wet manicotti noodles.

Erin

Ooh! Mine are those things you wear in the water.

JPC

Pool noodles.

Erin

Moccasins?

Adal

Port noodles. Well, if you want to dream of wearing porn noodles, what you want to do is get yourself a helix sleep mattress.

JPC

Now why would I want to do a thing like that?

Adal

One, because I'm telling you so.

JPC

Okay.

Adal

And two, because it's the best night's sleep you ever gonna get.

JPC

But Adal, okay, bear with me. I'm a hot sleeper, which means I like to sleep covered in hot peppers.

Erin

And I'm a side sleeper, which means I like to sleep covered in hot peppers.

JPC

And I'm a side sleeper because I have a side piece. Uh, Adal just motioned to his gun like James Bond.

Erin

Also, I don't know this, but do you guys prefer a plush or a firm bed?

JPC

Firm bed. Um, firm.

Erin

And for couples, Helix can even split the mattress I can't talk anymore.

00:40:27

Adal

That's okay.

Erin

Down the middle providing individual support needs and field preferences for each side.

JPC

You getting sleepy yet? I am getting sleepy and I have to say I just read on a blimp that Helix Sleep is offering $125 off of all of their mattress orders. All you have to do to get that $125 off is go to helixsleep.com slash riddle. That's helixsleep.com slash riddle R-I-D-D-L-E for up to $125 off your

Erin

And I don't know why you wouldn't do that because they have a 10 year warranty and you get to try it out for 100 nights free.

Adal

Helixsleep.com slash riddle. I'm taking off my manicotti shoes.

Erin

I am eating some noodles. Helixsleep.com slash riddle. Helixsleep.com slash riddle.

Adal

Hey Erin, you know who my favorite Muppet is? Who? Go over.

Erin

The Swedish Shurf. Veenie Vernie.

Adal

That one. No, not Janet Varney, the Swedish chef. Oh, Janet Varney. Yeah, no, she's not, I don't, well, she might be Nordic. But what I'm saying is I love cooking. Oh, cooking. I love cooking, which is why, vis-a-vis, I love hello

00:41:43

Erin

I love cooking, but I really don't have the time to do it that often because I really don't have the time to shop for ingredients.

Adal

Well, you're going to have to find time. And that's going to be easy with HelloFresh because they send you prepackaged ingredients. It's my favorite thing about watching cooking shows is they always have these little ramekins filled with the portions already and you just dump it in. That's what HelloFresh does. They send you packaging. You have everything you need. There's no surplus. You're not missing anything. You dump it in. You feel like you're on the chew, right? And you're cooking up a storm.

JPC

I just have to say I love the word ramekin and this is not part of the ad but I do want to tell both of you that earlier today I saw a squirrel eating out of a ramekin and it was kind of adorable. And you know usually that's just rat. That's just a rat.

Erin

So anyways, what if, so it's like only taking 30 minutes, but is the cleanup time a lot?

Adal

Not at all. The cleanup time is bare minimum.

JPC

Erin, you use less than two pots and pans per recipe. So if you're like me, you're not eating out of a plate, you're eating with a hand, no utensils. So you're basically saving time and money by never having to clean up.

00:42:51

Erin

What if you're a vegetarian or you have kids?

JPC

They've got a plan for that. They have a family plan. They have a veggie plan. They even have a plan for families of veggies, like veggie tails. Yeah. So if you're a Christian family of vegetables, you could get hella fresh as well.

Adal

And in that instance, they'll send you a package where they don't include anything that you are. So if you're a carrot, they won't send you carrots because that's madness. But they also have a classic plan, which is what I've received in the past. And I absolutely go bunkers for this food. Yeah. You're just a fan of the classics. You know why it's called Hello Fresh? Why? It's because it's fresh as H. And also, when you eat it, it's like you're waking up. It's like you're waking up your tongue and you're saying, hello, good morning, world. Good morning, flavor, right? It's like you're, who's the guy that looks like Smash Mouth? It's like your Guy Fieri. Janet Varney. It's like your Janet is like your Guy Varney and you're waking up and you're saying, I'm in flavor town and it's off the chain.

Erin

What can someone do for $80 off their first month?

Adal

I don't think that's possible.

00:43:51

JPC

$80 off is too much off. That's too much. And I'm stupid as hell and this is a great deal for me, but even that is just too much.

Adal

Oh wait, I'm being told someone's whispering in my ear. Who is that man? The Fresh Ghost. The Fresh Ghost is here and it's saying for $80 off your first month of HelloFresh, go to hellofresh.com slash riddle 80 and enter riddle 80. That's hellofresh.com slash riddle 80 and enter riddle 80. 80 is what I'm saying. That's R-I-D-D-L-E eight zero. It's like receiving eight meals for free, and that is madness.

Erin

HelloFresh.com slash Riddle 80. Let me say that again. HelloFresh.com slash Riddle 80.

JPC

It's like you get $20 off your first four boxes. Erin's carving it into her arm.

Erin

HelloFresh.

JPC

Erin, don't do that. That vanity URL may not be around forever.

Erin

Don't call Erin. It will in my heart. It will in my heart.

Adal

It will them to foe.

Erin

Janet Varney.

Adal

HelloFresh. Wow, what a powerful ad from fuck pudding. Put your dick in it. What was it? Put your limp dick in it?

00:44:53

Erin

I think so. Put your limp biscuit in it. What did everyone do during their break?

JPC

I actually did a little something different. I touched on my ridiculousness.

Adal

Welcome to Cockroach Needles Inn.

Erin

Okay, so I got a riddle book that's called Lateral Thinking Puzzles from a fan at our LA live show.

Adal

Okay. We got the book. I don't think you have ownership over it.

Erin

She handed it to me. And now it's awesome. Well, here's the thing. I tried to look up her name, but I don't have access to the Patreon.

Adal

You tried to look up her name?

Erin

I tried to listen to it in the live show. Next time I use this book, I will give you a shout out with your name. I am so sorry.

Adal

Erin, you're a fucking stalker. I know.

Erin

I'm obsessed with her.

Adal

You're a freaking stalker. You're a freaking fucker. Can you milk me?

Erin

Is that just another word for masturbating?

Adal

Yeah.

Erin

So this is a good one. Are we ready?

00:45:54

JPC

Yes.

Erin

Why are two little animals alone in a little boat in the middle of the ocean?

Adal

Noah's Ark. Everybody else died. This is Noah's lifeboat. Rattlesnakes, they bit all the other animals, they died, and then it's just the rattlesnakes.

Erin

You're getting kind of close.

Adal

Have you seen Titanic?

JPC

Unicorn got on the wrong boat. So like Titanic, Noah's Ark crashed, and Noah's Ark had lifeboats, and all of the animals, two by two, got onto the lifeboats as they were evacuated in the sinking ark.

Adal

But only the women and children. Animals.

Erin

But there's just two animals.

Adal

It's the unicorns got on the wrong boat. Wrong arc.

Erin

That's funny and that would be a funny answer. Wrong.

JPC

Two animals getting kicked off. I want to see a scene. It's a far side cartoon. Two unicorns are on a boat together.

Adal

I think we're on the wrong arc.

???

We're like the back of a New Yorker.

Adal

Gary Larson, we know you listen. I want to see a scene.

JPC

They're on the St. Louis arc.

Adal

Wrong arc.

JPC

It's just us improvising farsight cartoons. Better podcast.

00:46:56

Erin

My dad had those like complete set of farsight cartoons and I was obsessed with them.

Adal

So I want to see the two of you as unicorns on the wrong arc and it's been days and it's just dawned on you.

JPC

Don't say it, Helen. Do not say it.

Erin

Disappointing husband says what?

JPC

I wish I could take this horn and slit my own throat. Does that make sense to you? That's what I wish I could do.

Erin

You couldn't get the angle. You're not flexible enough. You horse with one extra feature.

JPC

Speaking of being a horse with one extra feature, I can't stand the sound of your voice, Helen. You drive me nuts!

Erin

Nay, nay, you would be so much happier if I was an ordinary horse, wouldn't you?

JPC

Honestly, yes, I would love, I would love it if you are an ordinary horse.

Erin

This is why we should have had kids. No one's gonna know about unicorns. No one's gonna know about us.

00:47:56

JPC

First of all, I would have loved to have kids, but I was too tired. I kept telling you I work all day and it makes me tired.

Erin

Disappointing husband says what?

Adal

What are you talk- Welcome to heaven my children. You have... Parished on the boat you're on. I am God, and your first time to heaven you get to ask one question just in case you get sent back or resuscitated. I will answer one question. Shortly before I died, I saw a tiger in the woods. I was not having another fan. You did, and stop calling me Shirley. I like you. I rode airplanes. God rode airplane.

Erin

Why are two little animals alone and a little boat in the middle of the ocean?

Adal

Uh, is this... is this wordplay?

Erin

No. It's a literal thing. You got it right, but you got the wrong animal.

Adal

I got it right, but I got the wrong animal? Yeah, two animals... I have to guess, out of all the animals in the world, I have to guess why two little animals? Yeah. Mice. No. Gerbles. Hamsters. Got kicked off the ark and now we're in a little boat. Oh, uh, little fox.

00:48:57

Erin

No. Why would someone get kicked off?

Adal

They were ratting on each other?

Erin

They were... What makes for a bad roommate?

Adal

Skunks.

Erin

Yes!

Adal

That's it? Yes. You said this was a good one. I like this one. Can I do away with this piece of information? Skunks are great roommates. I lived with a skunk in college. Really? Yeah.

Erin

What was there to do?

Adal

He ate all my double safarios, but he was great.

Erin

Let's see that. Let's see that.

JPC

I also lived with a skunk in college. It was a very flat keg. She called first thing. It was skunked.

Adal

The keg was skunked. You didn't want to do that with weed? Oh hey, I'm sorry, I saw there's a tie in the door, but Pepe Le Pew, are you?

JPC

Did you have someone over here? I did, but they are gone and that is fine.

Adal

Oh yeah, you're kind of creepy that way. What do you mean? Creepy that way. You're just creepy, you come on too strong. Speaking of coming on too strong, whoo, is that Axe Body Spray?

JPC

Yes, it's Axe Body Spray. It's, uh, Halo. It's Halo? Halo, I believe, is one of the sins of Axe Body Spray. Are you saying Halo? H-A-R-E-O-L. Halo. Okay, man. Look, man, we have to have a little talk. Okay, we're talking right now. About the roommate's rules. Yeah. When you use a roll of toilet paper, you have to put on a new roll of toilet paper. Donuts just put the toilet paper on top of the dispenser. It's the same thing. It makes it easier to hold. It's actually nuts. It makes it easier to hold. It's not the same thing and you cannot do the roll if you use and put it on top. Who does the roll?

00:50:30

Adal

I need a lot of pizzelles. Maybe first people, when Toilet Paper was first invented for the novelty you do the roll, but now if you do it, it just keeps going. You're gonna lose it all on the floor. Not if you stop it with a karate chop. We get it. You took karate, okay? While we're talking as roommates, you smell like fucking shit.

JPC

Okay. Does that make sense? Fair point. While we're on this subject, the dishes, we should have like a midnight policy. Where after midnight, you should have already done the previous day's dishes. No, no, no. Letting them soak overnight. Why after midnight? Am I fucking Ethan Hawke? What is this? Before midnight, you do your dishes, okay? And also, I put my vodka in the freezer and I could tell you are watering it down. Okay.

Adal

While we're talking about the kitchen, I had a four-pack of fuck pudding. Okay. And now there's three of them. Okay.

Erin

Fuck pudding. Put your lip dick in.

JPC

Okay, so what do you think of that?

Adal

I don't know.

Erin

Can you say toilet paper? That is so funny. So you said it went well with the skunk?

00:51:41

Adal

Can we make fuck pudding t-shirts?

Erin

Yes. No, I think someone should make fuck pudding.

JPC

T-shirts made of fuck pudding?

Erin

A man wearing tights is lying unconscious in a field. Next to him is a rock. What happened?

Adal

Got hit in the nuts.

Erin

Oh, is this a Super Bowl commercial?

Adal

It's easier to aim when you can see the outline of the nuts. He's wearing tights, and next to him is a rock.

JPC

It's Dwayne the Rock Johnson. It's Dwayne the Rock Johnson. The guy body slammed him. They both got hit at their head. And the man was stone cold Steve Austin. He was doing ballet. Dwayne the Rock Johnson stone cold Steve Austin. There's a riddle in there with two rocks. And Brett the Geode Heart. Rick, the natural occurring ore boy flair.

Adal

The Undertaker. Tombstone. Tombstone's a stone. What's your favorite rock?

Erin

Tombstone. I thought you were my friend. I just don't think I could bear it.

Adal

If anybody here is in a geology class, you got to bring in a tombstone. Say I brought it in a rock. Say this is my favorite rock, it's Tombstone. Make sure it is your dad's tombstone.

00:52:50

JPC

If anyone here is in a history of rock and roll class, say that your favorite rock album is Tombstone.

Adal

That means the score from the movie Tombstone. Good movie, great movie. Sam Elliott, 1992.

JPC

All the details are on.

Adal

The next time you cook a pizza... Next time you cook a pizza, say it's not delivery, it's a tombstone. But have an actual tombstone. Make sure it's your dad's.

Erin

I did all the details wrong.

JPC

I do think it would be funny if you went to a graveyard and there was like a gravestone, a headstone, that just had pepperoni on it. What do you want on your tombstone? Is that a joke? What do you want on your tombstone? Pepperoni, extra cheese? I think it would be funny if it just said pepperoni on it. That would take a lot of commitment. Pepperoni, extra cheese. I don't know. I think it would just take like $400. Are you ready for the answer? Yes. Wait, what? No.

Adal

Wait. Did we get it? Can we ask some questions?

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

Oh wait, it's not stinks. Was the guy performing a dance?

Erin

No. Erin.

JPC

Was the guy in a circus? I thought we got it with Man in Tights and Rock. We did not get it. The answer was not Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Was he an extra in a Mel Brooks movie about Robin Hood?

00:53:54

Erin

No.

JPC

Was he an actor?

Erin

Nobody was famous.

JPC

Ooh. Was he a superhero? Yes. Oh, it's Cripperman. Cripp tonight. We had this one. We had a very similar one about a man. Very similar. Very similar. I've got a great one. Very similar. Submiciously spimpler.

Erin

I got a great one. Are you ready?

JPC

Well, hold on. I don't trust you anymore.

Erin

This one's great. Okay. And the skunk one was also great.

JPC

Erin, I will tell you what I've told every girlfriend that I've ever had every day we've been together. Please take me back. This is your opportunity to win me back.

Erin

I'm your girlfriend.

JPC

He said yes! He went to fuck pudding.

Erin

Every kiss begins with fuck pudding. Are we ready?

Adal

Yes ma'am.

Erin

What took 19 years to get into itself?

Adal

Harvard. What took 19 years to get into itself?

Erin

I'm sorry Harvard, but your grades just aren't there yet.

Adal

You let Natalie Portman in. So it takes 19 years to get to college. What took 19 years to get into itself?

00:54:56

JPC

Is it a person whose name is Iowa State?

Erin

Yep.

JPC

Does this Riddle have anything to do with college?

Adal

It took 19 years to get into itself. Does it have to do with... Is it a car? Does it have to do with a car? It took 19 years to get into itself. You thought about that for so long.

Erin

Yeah, I was like, absolutely not. Not even close.

Adal

Is it a word that has in in it?

Erin

No, it's not a word play.

Adal

What took 19 years to get into? Oh, was it like the new decade or something? Like the new... No. What's a decade plus 10?

Erin

Two decades.

JPC

Couple of decades. What took 19, 19 is such a weird number.

Adal

It took 19 years to get into. Yeah, that's why I was thinking it's like, I'm impressed with this.

JPC

This is not like a word play answer where it's like, 19. No, not a word playing. What took 19 years to get into itself? So the Hall of Fame, Hall of Fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Close, close. It took 19 years for the rock

Erin

No, it's similar, but it's not like a Hall of Fame.

00:55:56

JPC

Oh, I see. So it'd be a band or an artist? Not quite. It took 19 years for the masters to get into the masters. You're circling for Guggenheim to get into the Guggenheim. Is it a thing to get into the museum?

Erin

It's a thing to get into something.

JPC

Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin Lookalike contest in St. Louis and got third place.

Erin

It's something you can hold in your hand. Does that make sense?

JPC

Yes, it does. The flashlight took 19 years to get into the flashlight.

Adal

Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin Lookalike contest? And then married his 13-year-old cousin.

JPC

Yeah, then he went on to be the Fuhrer of Europe. Fuhrer up.

Erin

Fuhrer up. I'm gonna tell you so I can do one more riddle.

JPC

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Erin, Erin, Erin.

Adal

Give me one more chance. It's something you can hold in your hand. Is it a celebrity? It's something you can hold in your hand. So it's gotta be... Hooting the blowfish? Gotta be hooty.

JPC

Let me give you a flip. Hold my hand. Hold my hand. JPC is my son.

00:56:58

Erin

Hold on, hold on.

JPC

Took 19 years to get into itself. I don't want to be with you. But it is like a museum.

Erin

It's popular. It is a collection.

JPC

It's a collection. Beanie Baby. The Beanie Baby took 19 years to get into itself.

Erin

I'm sure Beanie Babies are maybe in this thing. I don't know, maybe not.

JPC

Probably not.

Erin

Hobby Lobby. You'll never be in this thing.

Adal

Momo challenge to get into the Momo? 80s. I love the 80s. I love the 70s. Give us a better hint.

Erin

What? You can hold it in your hand.

Adal

What era is it? Is it a museum? You can hold it in your hand and you can flip through it. You have a book. Guinness World Records. Oh, wow.

Erin

The Guinness World Records, after 19 years of publication, became the second best-selling book of all time and therefore got into itself.

Adal

After the people.

JPC

Wait, wait, wait. You get a Guinness Book of World's Record record for being the second most best-selling book of all time?

Erin

I bet that's why they did a second place thing so they could be in their own book.

JPC

Motherfuckers.

Erin

I got one more riddle for you.

JPC

Talk to me when you beat the Bible, bitch.

Erin

I don't think they'll ever beat the Bible. You know what, Wildo? The Da Vinci Code.

00:58:00

JPC

And I'll tell you why. The movie version. We've sold more DVD copies of the DaVinci Code than we've sold the Bible. I thought you meant more novelizations of the movie than DaVinci Code. The novelization's just a hundred pages shorter.

Erin

Tom Hanks gets a weird haircut and walks into the room.

JPC

It's a picture book! It's a Bible book! Tom Hanks and the DaVinci Code.

Erin

Oh man.

JPC

Welcome to June. Alright.

Erin

Six page picture book. Okay. We got one more.

JPC

Please.

Erin

It was originally a mistake, but the shopkeeper found... Oh, nope, I just read the answer.

???

Erin.

Adal

Woah, that's a day!

JPC

Erin, Erin. This is... No, no, hold on, hold on. You just said the shopkeeper, right? Yeah. Okay, so this is what Adal... We have to reverse engineer this Riddle. We have to reverse engineer this Riddle. Can you please read the answer and we're gonna work backwards?

???

Yes. Okay.

JPC

The first time ever we've done this on the podcast, we meant to do this. This is all part of the plan. No, Erin fucked up. It's all part of Drake's God's plan.

00:59:02

Erin

Okay, here's the thing. I got distracted because I keep having to flip between these two.

JPC

By the way, Erin's trying to choose which man to marry and she's flipping back and forth between two gentlemen in the room.

Erin

It's Adal and JPC. JPC just called me his girlfriend.

JPC

One of them looks like a pauper and one looks like a prince.

Adal

One looks like a pauper and one looks like John, a blues traveler. While we're waiting for Erin to do that, three quick takes. I want you to say welcome to June. Go ahead. Welcome to June! Now I want you to say, uh, welcome to Foon. Welcome to Foon! I want you to say welcome to Poon. Benny and June!

Erin

Are we ready? Yes. It was originally a mistake, but the shopkeeper found that so many people came into his shop to point out the error that it increased his business.

Adal

It was originally a mistake, but so many people came into his shop to point out the error. It was a mansplaining shop.

JPC

It was a shop for mansplaining. So the sign outside the shopkeeper's shop says, Snape. And people keep coming in to buy Harry Potter books, which he sells, so eventually he just keeps it. The sign says half off. Wait, I gave an answer. I'm supposed to be giving a riddle.

01:00:24

Adal

Wait, the sign says two for one. But it's spelled two for Juan. So a bunch of people named Juan are coming in to get there.

JPC

J-U-A-N. That's a really good riddle.

Adal

That's just the movie A Million to Juan.

JPC

Okay, okay. Which the novelization of that is gonna sell million.

Adal

Basically blank check with Carlos Menzia.

JPC

Ah, boy. Blank check with Carlos Menzias. My favorite blank check commentary podcast. Fuck. Okay, the riddle is... Does the riddle involve a shop? Yes.

Erin

So you got the first couple words, a little shop.

Adal

Of course. Did the sign have a sale listed?

Erin

No, it's the name of the place and then has a visual representation of whatever it is. And that's the issue. That's the error.

JPC

Okay. Is it a butcher? It's called Best Buy, and there's a picture of a cutout of the shopkeeper kissing a man and kissing a woman. Oh, the eye. And it's Best Buy, and so it attracts the polyamorous and buy communities.

01:01:35

Erin

Happy Pride Month, everybody.

JPC

Welcome to June.

Adal

How do you judge the Best Buy?

JPC

Okay, it's Circuit City. And people are like, Circuit City closed years ago.

Erin

Circuit City burned years ago. A man with a lantern? I'm sorry.

Adal

A man with a lantern, Green Lantern, walks into a bar. Is it a famous store?

Erin

No, it's a made-up- You're never gonna get this.

Adal

What, is it clothing?

Erin

No, I have no idea what this even means.

JPC

You're never gonna get this. Okay, tell us. You're never gonna get this what Adal hears from every one of his dates. You're never gonna get this.

Erin

You got so fatigued in the middle of that insult. Sorry. A little shop in New York is called the Seven Bells, yet it has eight bells hanging outside. Why?

JPC

Is this a Beauty and the Beast thing? The answer is it was a mistake.

Erin

It was originally a mistake, but the shopkeeper found that so many people came into his shop to point out the error that it increased his beauty.

Adal

I want to see a scene. Japes and Erin, you were both auditioning to be Belle in the live-action movie Beauty and the Beast. They pretty much know who they're going with, which is Hermione. Emma Watson, is that her name? Emma Watson. But you two have been brought in just so that they get in as many people as possible.

01:02:44

JPC

Gotcha.

Adal

And you're in the waiting room.

JPC

I touched a packer's penis and his football game was off.

Erin

The fuck pudding must have been expired because I am not horny at all.

JPC

My mommy makes my breakfast and my daddy makes me pay for it.

Erin

My daddy makes my breakfast and my mommy makes me pay for it.

Adal

Sorry folks, real quick. Typically people talk to each other in the audition waiting room. We are.

???

We're having a conversation.

Adal

I'm sorry, I'll butt out. That's okay. Which packer? A Hewlett.

Erin

Mark the day and time because we just did the best scene we've ever done.

Adal

I am holding ten rugs because they all got yanked up from under me. Weird Al Yankovic over here.

Erin

I just did four of my favorite scenes I've ever done with Adal last night at World News that all of you will never get to see.

Adal

At the 8 o'clock World News, that's the hardest I've laughed in a year maybe?

01:03:48

Erin

Adal was destroying me. He was making me laugh so hard.

JPC

So dear listener, just know that that's what we're capable of and this is what we give to you. Let's describe the scenes because that's always fun. Adal, could you please describe something that you would like to plug?

Adal

Ooh. I want to plug Hello for the Magic Tavern. You're going to want to check that out. Sibling Specular. You're going to want to check out... I remembered another podcast. I'm trying any podcast I guessed on. I want to give it a shout out. I just did a guest spot on D20 Danes, which is a wonderful podcast, actual play of some D&D with some wonderful women. So check that out. I think my episode comes out in a few weeks. I was also on Mission to Zix. With Magic Tavern folks, so check that out as well. And Magic Tavern, hula for the Magic Tavern, has two live shows coming up during Gen Con in Indianapolis. We will be doing a JPC tour where we're just going to visit all the really poignant spots in Jape's life in Indianapolis. So I'll be leading that tour if you want to buy tickets for that. That is free and check that out.

01:04:56

JPC

Yeah, good luck being at the big mural of Kurt Vonnegut where I lost my virginity to Kurt Vonnegut.

???

Who was he?

Adal

And you said breakfast at champions has come? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, also check out world news tonight every Saturday at 8pm and 10pm. We will, one of us will almost always certainly be there, usually.

Erin

Sometimes it's not all of us and we didn't tell you that and sometimes it's just Erin at a 10 o'clock show and everyone's super disappointing.

JPC

Sometimes it'll be a very confused Mexican gentleman named Eddie Pina who also does the show and he'll say who? What are you talking about?

Adal

We should have a Twitter page that's just who's gonna be at World Bank. A tracker.

JPC

Japes, anything you want to plug? Yeah, I would like to plug. I read a book that I very much enjoyed. It's Mindset, The New Psychology of Success by Carol S. Dweck. It's a little bit dated, but I did very much enjoy the book, and it's a very quick read. Do you have an extra copy of it? I have loaned out my current copy of it.

01:05:57

Adal

Sorry, not to shit on your parade, but you're holding a book that says Mind Freak.

JPC

Yes, I'm currently reading Chris Angel's Mindscreen. It's a thousand pages, and it's all photos of his face. And at the end, it's a trick that he's done on me. Erin, anything you want to plug?

Erin

I would like to plug the novelization of the movie, The Da Vinci Code. I'm trying to get more copies sold of that than the Bible. Also, follow me on Instagram, erinkeif10, and I plug my shows there. If you tweet at me or you message me, I don't look at that stuff often. I will get to it. Just don't get mad at me.

Adal

Yeah, don't get mad at Erin.

JPC

Check out our Patreon. Check out our, leave us a review on iTunes. If we get up to 1500, we're going to be doing another AMA episode, so we're pretty close to that. So please give us a review. Five stars, if you're nasty.

Adal

And also check out Fuck Pudding. That will be on the market probably sometime July... It's mostly arsenic? It's mostly arsenic in a little bit of... Old place. Erin, recently you were in New Orleans to go see Paul McCartney. You said it was amazing. He did a very special rendition of a famous song of his with a space helmet on. Typically it's called Hey Jude, but in this concert it was called...

01:07:12

Erin

Jupiter, which is the name of one of our listeners. Her name is Jupiter, so hello and goodbye, Jupiter.

Adal

Bye forever, Jupiter.

???

This has been Hey Riddle Riddle, created by Adal Rifai, starring Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan, AG Snyder did the editing, and already parented the muting. We'll go created by Emily Cardamus and Emily Nemours.

Adal

That was a Headgum podcast.
