This is a HeadGum podcast.
Adal
No poop, all Sherlock. This is Hey Riddle Riddle and Chaboy Puzzbot. I'm JPC.
Erin
And I'm Erin Keif.
JPC
And this is Hey Riddle Riddle. And the reason that we brought Puzzbot in here is we had to kick Adal out because we are doing our first ever Oh, I'm sorry. Drum roll please. Family friendly episode. Don't hide the kids, don't hide the wife memes from 10 years ago. And come and enjoy a Riddle episode that the whole family can enjoy.
00:01:11
Adal
Yes, that's right. Everyone can gather around the hearth and enjoy this just like FDR's famous speeches.
Erin
We know that you are on your...wait, what?
Adal
Remember FDR? No, Puzzbot, we're young.
Erin
It's a young kid episode.
Adal
Yes, this is targeted towards kids. FDR is cool and hip. No, don't talk about FDR. Talk about Thomas the Tank Engine.
Erin
Yeah, talk about Thomas the Tank Engine.
Adal
Daniel Tiger. How many Daniel Tigers does it take? To kill? No. To maim? Love.
Erin
You know the Daniel Tiger song that's like, parents come back. What? Grown-ups will always come back for you.
Adal
Sensing inappropriate content. Parents who left. Shutting down episodes.
JPC
Is that for kids who are left alone in a store or something?
Erin
Yeah, or when they go to school. Don't worry, your parents are going to come back.
JPC
Would it be okay if I did a rap for kids right now for what to do in an emergency?
Erin
Absolutely.
JPC
Yes, now that's what I call raps. Hey kids, it's JPC. If you find yourself in a JC Penney's, here's what you do if your parents go away. Walk to the front of the store. Find a man in a suit with a really tall hat. He's a chauffeur. That'll get this car.
00:02:30
Erin
This sounds like a really fun kids' movie.
Adal
Searching Man in the Hat.
Erin
It's like a chauffeur and a kid having an adventure around New York City.
Adal
Searching. Man in the Hat, Curious George. Popular with kids. Paw Patrol. Popular with kids. Paw Patrol. But don't forget Ma Patrol. She deserves just as much credit. Paw Patrol? Or Paw Patrol? Oh, I am dumb. I was made to do two things. Solve riddles and feel pain. And I'm all out of riddles.
JPC
It's the day before Thanksgiving. You're probably driving in a Subaru to see your family in upstate Washington.
Erin
It's a Wednesday. You left work early. You're driving. You're going to go to a bar in your hometown. See some high school friends.
Adal
Did you say go to a barn in your hometown? Yes.
Erin
Hey Adal. Hey Adal. It's so good to see you, truly.
Adal
Are you guys ready for me to cuss?
Erin
No.
JPC
No, Adal, this is a... So this is a family friendly, kid approved episode of Hey Riddle Riddle. Wait.
00:03:35
Erin
The first ever.
JPC
Kid tested mother approved? We couldn't get kids to test their labor laws preventing us from music, but we'd love to because their cells are so malleable.
Erin
Adal's just throwing out everything he knows about kids right out of the cage.
JPC
All the buzzwords he knows to picture of a kid. Everything Adal does about kids is from commercials for breakfast cereals.
Erin
So, what's interesting about our show is some kids have accidentally listened to it. I think we have accidentally a pretty young listener base.
Adal
Yeah, and they've taken us to court and the judge said that we needed to do one episode, at least, where we don't do any swearing or... Nope. Thank you.
Erin
Remember there was one listener who was like a little boy and his mom sent us the fan art he made of us and he drew me blonde and I was like nobody tell him.
Adal
He drew me blonde. Who's that? You drew me blonde.
00:04:52
Erin
I want to, before we get into some riddles, I want to see a scene. And you are two pirates, but there's a kid on board today. So you're, you're, you can't be as, you get it as you usually are.
Adal
Wendy, can we be honest with you? Er, Wendy, come above deck here.
Erin
Okay.
JPC
And I said deck. So, you know, me and, uh, Skarsgard over here. My name is Peter Skarsgard.
Adal
And my name be Alex Skarsgard. Some people call him Alexander.
JPC
We're so tall. So tall and so Nordic. We wanted to ask you, you know that all of our pirate gourd is, you know, raggedy and very disheveled. Could you teach us how to sew, Widdie? Teach us how to sew?
Erin
You just assume I know how to sew?
Adal
No, we saw your kit. You had a little kit.
JPC
We saw a little kit. We saw a thimble. We'd never seen that before. We tried to drink our pirate rum out of it, and it all spilled out the sides.
00:05:55
Erin
Well, that's Tinkerbell's chair. Okay.
JPC
Oops.
Erin
It's also her throw-up bucket because she's been very nauseous on this ship.
Adal
Let me check my pockets where Tinkerbell... I heard a crunch, but don't worry kids. That was just a bunch of crunch. Pirates love bunch of crunch.
Erin
Oh, there's Tinkerbell. She's coming on to the ship. That's not Tinkerbell.
JPC
Also, that's not Tinkerbell. That's Wickerfraal. Wickerfraal. Wickerfraal's not doing well.
Adal
That's Tinkerbell's sister. She's been very sickly.
Erin
She talks like a Star Wars character.
Adal
Oh, it is hard not to cuss. No, it's not.
Erin
You still keep sneaking and stuff.
Adal
But it's also, kids, it's also worth it not to cuss. Kids, when you do a job interview, don't forget, never cuss.
Erin
So, we're doing some listener-submitted riddles, but first, I figured since a lot of kids who are new to this episode, hello, keep a quick reminder, I'm Erin, that's JPC, and that one's Adal. I'm pointing to them, so your kids is as good as mine.
00:07:08
JPC
And from feedback we've received, our voices are identical.
Erin
Yeah, people truly think that though.
JPC
That's wild. I think it's because we say the same insane stuff.
Erin
The same sort of chaotic, lithering energy. Don't love me with your badness. So I figured we would go over some just of the classic Kid Riddles. And I'm going to rapid fire read them and you're going to say them in unison. Are you ready?
Adal
We're going to say the riddles and you just know the answers.
Erin
The answers.
Adal
Okay, that's going to be almost impossible. Kids, put on your ash gosh, bagash, grab a little plastic chair, and uh... Adal doesn't know a lot about kids.
Erin
When was the last time you saw or met or talked to a kid?
Adal
Oh, I want to say a Christmas story.
JPC
You want to say that or that's the accurate? Yeah, so everybody, Adal and I are already wearing our thinking caps, so you make sure that you put on your thinking caps because these riddles are going to be difficult.
Erin
You're all in the car together, and you're all going to shout out the answers. Are you ready?
JPC
Nothing parents like more than shouting in the car. Kids, if you can, if there are no child locks on the windows, try to throw your shoes right at the windows.
00:08:17
Erin
Yeah, everyone, even if you're not going to do it, just in this moment, lower your window just a little bit so your parents get a little nervous.
JPC
Even if you're like 14.
Adal
And kids, if you're in the car with your parents, doesn't fast food sound pretty good?
Erin
Oh, I think a McDonald's Happy Meal sounds.
Adal
We probably went McDonald's. Right? Would your parents? No, I don't know if your parents would be into that. Maybe you could persuade them.
Erin
Also, there's a couple in a car right now listening to this, I'm sure, and they're both like, what if we got McDonald's? This is not just for kids.
JPC
And kids, if you're thinking, well, we're going all the way to Thanksgiving dinner right now, it wouldn't really be fair to get McDonald's. Remember, your parents have to eat your grandma's nasty cooking too. So they have extra incentive to want to get McDonald's.
Erin
I think I speak for this whole car right now when I say we're about to get McDonald's.
Adal
We don't want that dry turkey.
JPC
So don't go to Burger King and get dry turkey.
Erin
So tweet at us and send us your photos of the McDonald's you are about to get. In the middle of this episode.
00:09:17
JPC
Chef Mike, if you are listening to this, come on the podcast. Come on the podcast, whatever you like.
Erin
Alright. Are we ready?
JPC
Yes.
Erin
Ready. What has one head, one foot, and four legs?
JPC
Two snakes! What has one head, two feet, one foot, one foot, and four legs?
Adal
One head. I want to say... Beer. Glass of beer.
Erin
I want to say... Root beer.
Adal
Sully's Competition in Monsters Inc. That little Steve Buscemi thing? One head. And kids, don't forget. Kids, don't forget. Look up Steve Buscemi. Do an image search on Google. Good night. Have a good night. Kids, go to any Siri.
Erin
Sleep tight. Ah, the little Steve Buscemi thing.
JPC
Go to any adult's phone, shout Siri Immature Steve Buscemi.
Adal
And just see what happens when my Siri go off like, Erin, this is great kid's content.
Erin
It is so, the little Steve Buscemi thing. The funniest.
Adal
Is it a ruler? No. It has one head, one foot, four legs, four legs, a race. And you wanted Adal to answer these in unison.
00:10:26
Erin
Some of these you're going.
Adal
Oh, you said in unitards. Let me squeeze into this.
JPC
This tumbling class is good for kids of all ages.
Adal
Yeah. Never met someone who did a crime who could also do a handstand.
JPC
I did tumbling class when I was a young child. Never mind that. Uh-huh. I know Demi Plie. That's ballet. He's great on Twitter. It's all the same. Tumbling is ballet.
???
Tumbling is pre-ballet.
Adal
I was doing somersaults. Hold up, that's going to be kids. This is going to be our first just-a-sleep stop. You think tumbling is pre-ballet? Yeah, why not?
Erin
Well, can't fight that. A lot of really great dancers also do gymnastics.
JPC
Can't argue with apathy. They make football players do gymnastics too, do ballet class.
Adal
Did you know Jean-Claude Van Damme was a ballet dancer to get better at martial arts? Wow.
Erin
I do now.
Adal
Did you know that Dirk Nowitzki took ballet? No. She's the lead singer for Limp Bizkit, right? That's correct. Fred Dirk's some Vivix's beat.
00:11:27
Erin
Um, JPC. Yes. If we add a $25 Patreon tier, will you take swing dance classes with me and then someone will film it?
JPC
I would love to. I love swing dancing. Swing dancing is so fun.
Erin
Okay, I want, if we create a $25 tier, Adal will film John.
Adal
It should be a $21 tier because kids love 21 pilots.
Erin
Okay, $21 tier. 21 pilots.
Adal
Wait, did you say if we create that tier, you two will take swing dancing and I'll...
Erin
No, because this is what I want, is I want your commentary running under the entire video. You didn't even let me, if you let me finish my sentence, you would have known.
Adal
Kids, if you're listening, respect everyone you do a podcast with.
Erin
Oh, and kids, if you're listening, just to give you a visual, I'm 25, JPC's 25, and Adal's 104.
Adal
I got him. Oh, can't curse, can't curse. Erin, you're a bully and a coward.
Erin
You can't be both. You can't be both. Well, often.
00:12:30
Adal
Sure you can, you just don't leave the house. Often times. I've seen comment sections.
Erin
That bully won't leave the house. But truly, don't bully anyone. And if you do have it be something like awesome, like at least say something awesome.
Adal
Kids, if you have a sleepover or a summer party, don't just make one of your friends film it.
JPC
Let everyone sleep and have fun. This is a Kid Friendly episode, I would like to tell you this. So, Mariah and I went to see a movie in Skokie. There is a Noodles & Company right by the movie theater, so we went to the Noodles & Company. And this was like, I think it was Friday night, a couple of Friday nights ago. And inside of this Noodles & Company, there were two tweens on a date, and then there was also that came into the Noodles & Company, like another tween who was just there with their parents, like, getting dinner. and I was like and they didn't look at each other and notice each other but I was like I love this situation how awkward is it if you're like on like a tween date like obviously someone drove you to the movie theater and dropped you off here and then there to see tween wolf we there to see tween wolf and then you see like a classmate who like I don't know if do you ever go on dates when you were kids Not like kids, but like 12, 13, 14. Oh yeah, maybe one or two. Somewhere in that range where you can drive, you were like depending on someone else for a ride. How awkward would it be if you ran into like another person from your class with their family? Like Mariah and I were talking about how embarrassing that would be and I was like if I knew what I knew now about how none of this matters and like embarrassment's not a real thing and whatever, no one will remember this. I was like I would love to be the person there with my family and then just go up to their table and be like Hey guys, how's everything going? I brought you a sprite. I just thought, enjoy the night. Obviously, Jason, I'll see you in class on Monday. Melissa, you look wonderful. But the whole time I'm not making any eye contact with them. I'm just looking up.
00:14:13
Erin
I'm rooting for the two of you. This was sort of a will-they-won't-they that I'm happy to see as well.
JPC
I talked to Dennis at the front. He said, try the meatballs. Don't know if that's germane to you, but thought I'd drop that little piece.
Erin
Enjoy Toy Story 4 and have a wonderful evening.
JPC
I am here with my mom, Dennis and Marie. Okay, anyway, I don't know the answer to this Riddle. It's very hard.
???
The answer is a bed.
Adal
Hand of the bed, one foot, yes, the foot, the four legs.
JPC
That's a good one.
Adal
We've done this on the podcast before too.
JPC
We should have known that.
Erin
Next Riddle that we've done.
JPC
Alright kids, thinking caps back on.
Adal
Well to be fair, this is like reruns of Friends. If we haven't remembered them, they're new to us. Could we be any more podcasts?
JPC
So real quick, mom and dad pull over the car right now, turn yourselves into the backseat to face your children and just get a glimpse of what their faces look like. Do they hate this? I imagine they do.
00:15:22
Erin
They are not listening, they're all on their individual iPads.
JPC
Looking at Steve Buscemi's face. Screaming.
Erin
Inconsolable.
JPC
He's a great actor. One of them is like, yeah, Boardwalk Empire.
Adal
He's the guy with Boardwalk Empire. How could he possibly pass for James Gandolfini's cousin? There's no way. They're thinking.
Erin
Says the kid. All right, we ready?
Adal
Yes.
Erin
Did you hear the joke about the roof?
Adal
Okay, give us a minute to unpack this. Did we hear the joke about the roof? I heard the joke about the roof.
JPC
It had me in shingles. It was rough? Oh, wait. Here's one about the roof. It's a patchy tar. It made me lick tears out of my eyes. Did you hear the joke about the roof? It blew the lid off the place.
Adal
Final answer. Here's one about the roof.
Erin
You have one of the words, right?
Adal
It slays me. Slays spelled S-L-E-I-G-H. Blue? You know the one about the roof. Red Roof Inn.
00:16:26
Erin
No. Are you ready for the answer?
JPC
Give us a hint. I have a very non-kid friendly story about a Red Roof Inn that I won't share. He will share that in our next episode.
Adal
Don't say it, but mime it to us. Ooh.
???
Oh no!
Adal
Kids, just so you know, he was dribbling a basketball while eating some laughing taffy.
JPC
And you should never dribble a basketball while you eat because of germs. Always wash your hands before you touch your food.
Erin
Can you do your rap about washing your hands?
JPC
Yeah, boom, boom, uh. Hey kids, it's JPC and I'm back with another rhyme. If you're gonna eat some chips or bread, you better wash your grime. Get your hands put them under a sink and sing happy birthday as you soap. And if you don't sing while you drink, you're gonna be a dope. Now grab the basketball and throw it in the car with the man in the hat and you're gonna go far. You're gonna drive him to the basketball court. Say one-on-one. It's me against Squirt. Squirt's his name. Or is it? We don't know. We never learned his name. Always learn a man's name. Wash your hands.
00:17:29
Erin
Did you hear the joke about the roof? This one's more of a joke than a riddle.
JPC
I didn't hear it. I'm gonna go on
Erin
Never mind, it's over your head.
JPC
Funny joke about a roof. Okay, use that in school. Use that on a teacher.
Erin
Use that on a teacher.
JPC
Use that on a teacher.
Adal
And kids, don't ever let a riddle talk down to you.
Erin
Yeah, don't let a riddle be condescending to you.
JPC
Stand up for yourself kids, and if you have the chance between doing something smart, doing something safe, and doing something fun, always choose the fun.
Adal
Yeah, and kid you probably heard your parents talk about condescending rice. She was a very important person.
Erin
In the early 2000s?
JPC
Politically? I did not care for Uncle Ben's tone. That's a condescending rice.
Erin
It's become so increasingly clear to me today how much sleep JPC has gotten and how little sleep I've gotten in comparison to JPC because I think it was a hundred years until it took me to understand that Uncle Ben joke.
00:18:38
Adal
Wasn't Uncle Ben killed in the rice averse?
Erin
I need to go back to bed to be ready for this. Okay, are we ready?
JPC
Yes.
Erin
How many letters are in the alphabet? All of them. Nope.
JPC
There are no letters in the alphabet. The alphabet is numbers.
Adal
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
JPC
How many letters are in the alphabet?
Adal
Eat your breakfast, go to heaven. If you're not religious, fine. Just know hell is real on time. Follows what I meant to say. Saved it, Adal, you're okay.
Erin
Adal is having a really hard time in this episode.
Adal
No, no, no. Erin, I'm having a midlife crisis. Midlife crisis on infinite Earth. At 104?
Erin
Wow, you're going to live a long time.
Adal
I got Mel Brooks disease.
00:19:39
???
What is Adal?
Adal
They don't know what that is. He created young Frankenstein.
Erin
Oh my gosh. I can't do this everybody.
Adal
I unfortunately have Mel Gibson disease.
Erin
Well you think about how many letters are in the alphabet.
JPC
It's a disease that's only gonna affect me when I turn like 50. I'll have a fine happy life before sure. I'm sorry, Google 26 letters. How many letters are in the alphabet? Is it the word the alphabet? Because that's like 12 or 7? 3. Or 8.
Erin
Whoever gets as many letters.
Adal
Wait, it would be T-H-E-N-L-P-H-A-B-E-T.
Erin
11. 11. I said 11 like a thousand times. You said 12 like a hundred times.
Adal
Oh, kids also, speaking of alphabet, if you haven't, if you have cable at home, order alpha B-E-T. It's like B-E-T but better. Yeah, it's the better version of BET. Alpha BET. BET Plus. Is that a fun joke for kids?
Erin
I love it. They know what all of this means.
Adal
That's something for your uncle.
JPC
Kids, get your parents' phone, open any app, in-app purchases.
00:20:40
Erin
Alright, this is a new challenge for anyone who really wants to do this challenge.
JPC
Hold my breath for a minute.
Erin
Nope. Yep. I need you to sing the alphabet. But take liberties with the order in which the letters come.
JPC
But I can't reuse letters?
Erin
No, you can't reuse letters.
JPC
And I can't accidentally spell curse words.
Erin
Yep.
JPC
Got it. 26. B in L-P-G-Y-X-S-T-R-A-B. No! Ah! Okay, that's not as far as I could go. I think I used B again. Adal?
Erin
Adal.
Adal
W. C. Fields.
???
Try again. Again.
Adal
Not my tempo. R. L. S. D. E. I. N. F-K-T-W-I-G-S-R-O-B-E-R-T-A-T-T-I-S-O-N-T-W-I-G-H-L-T-J-A-K-E, Gyllenhaal, Wee.
00:21:49
JPC
Nice. Very nice. Very nice. Kids, never let an adult tell you what the alphabet is.
Erin
Yeah, you get to decide. Are we ready for your next?
JPC
Yes. Yes.
Erin
How can you spell cold with two letters?
JPC
BRRRR.
Erin
You're on the right track.
Adal
How can you spell cold with two letters? I see. I see. I see. Oh, that's pretty good. How do you spell cold?
JPC
It's not B-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R.
Adal
Oh, Tylenol P-M.
JPC
How do you spell cold with two letters?
Adal
I spell cold with two letters. Z. Freezing.
JPC
Freezing, um, I smell cold.
Adal
Is this like cold, like cough or cold like temperature?
Erin
Temperature.
Adal
Temperature.
Erin
Well you think about it, I'd like to see a scene. You're two penguins and you're talking about the weather because it's been a little cold lately.
???
Great.
Adal
Cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks. Hey Robert.
JPC
Hey Steven. Can you call me Streeven? Oh my god, has your name met Streeven?
00:22:51
Adal
Oh boy, do you not know my name?
JPC
Okay, hold on. We went to ice, we went to ice school together. I know, wait, but they would always read your name as Strieven or, oh my god, am I making fun of our teacher speech impediment? I think you are, which you should never do. I feel like such a fool. Please, tell me your name. My name is Strieven. And what's my name? Your name, I forget. You forget! I knew I could get you. It is.
Adal
But it is cold. My brain is not working as fast as it typically does. It's unseasonably cold. I know. It's March. Hey, can I ask you a question? Yeah. Is that Morgan Freeman over there watching us? Let's see if he narrates. It seems like it is. Do something and let's see if he narrates. Here, let's hold hands. Okay, let's hold hands.
Erin
The penguins held hands.
Adal
That's Morgan Freeman. No, Morgan Freeman would have a hotter take than that. Yeah, okay. We'll just give them more time.
Erin
And then they started dribbling the basketballs.
JPC
Not until we wash. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to streaming. Let's kill Batman. See you.
00:24:00
Erin
That was fun.
JPC
Yes. Hey, Erin. Gray Morgan Freeman. That was a wonderful moment.
Erin
You do better.
JPC
No! I would never attempt it. Was that sarcastic? I thought it was a good Morgan Freeman. Oh really? You did it dry. You did it off of nothing.
Erin
Give me a celebrity that kids would know and I'll do an impression.
Adal
Louie Anderson. Yeah.
Erin
Kids don't know who that is.
Adal
Kids watch baskets.
Erin
I'm not gonna give up until you give me a name.
JPC
Nick Jonas. Nick Jonas.
???
That's just Erin singing a Nick Jonas song.
JPC
Can you replace sucker with dumb dumb? Can you replace for you with suckers?
???
What else? How about Hailey Steinfeld?
Adal
Sorry, Hailey dot dot dot and Seinfeld.
Erin
Hailey, um, um... Okay, I got it. What's the deal with being like most girls?
00:25:03
Adal
Okay, and can you replace most with suckers? I hate it here. Erin, who do you think the top three kid celebrities are? Not celebrities who are kids, but the celebrities that kids would know or appreciate.
Erin
JoJo Siwa.
Adal
Is that a real person? Did you mean to say Jason Momoa? John Cena?
Erin
Yeah, I meant to say Jason Momoa. Shoot The Rock.
JPC
Did the kids know who The Rock is? John Cena also just came out with a kids movie. He was in that like firefighter movie. I don't know if it did well.
Adal
Well he also had that movie, now you can't see me. Now you don't.
Erin
What is happening?
JPC
And then third most popular celebrity with kids would have to be Jesse Eisenberg. Kids love social network.
Erin
Um, kids love, what do kids love? Bobs.
JPC
Aaron Sorkin.
Erin
Aaron Sorkin.
JPC
He speaks for kids.
Erin
Baby Shark.
Adal
Lorax. Ooh. Oh, kids love Baby Shark still, right?
Erin
I think, yeah, no, babe, like, you play that in front of a baby?
Adal
Did someone say Baby Shark? Oh boy. Pussbot. Hugs, doot, doot, doot, doop. Pussbot. Hugs, doot, doot, doot, doop. Pussbot. Hugs, doot, doot, doot, doop. Pussbot.
00:26:09
JPC
Oh, you're crushing me with your claws, Pussbot. Pussbot. I'm here to deliver an important message.
Erin
Let's do like I did to JPC's bones and take a break. Oh yeah, I could use a juice box and a nap. Okay, go to sleep.
JPC
Is a Capri Sun a juice box? That's a really great question, but we don't have time to do another riddle right now. Buzzbot, we have to go to a break. So kids, you think about that and we will get an answer to your riddle right after this break. Is a Capri Sun a juice box?
Adal
Why was I made to feel pain?
JPC
And the answer is no. It is not a juice box. A juice box has to be a box. Capri Sun is a pouch.
00:27:12
Adal
Why did you give me a whole Ted Talk? Please, just shut me down.
JPC
We watched the movie Ted, a kid's movie, because it's got a bear.
Erin
What was that silver wave we were just on when we drank our Capri Sun?
Adal
Richard Gere's hair.
???
You were so awake!
Adal
You know the rumor about Richard Gere, right? Uh-huh. Yes. That he didn't have to audition for Dr. T and the women. Offer only. Offer only. Wow. Kids, if you grow up, offer only. When you grow up. Oh geez.

Oh no, Puzzbot has overstayed his welcome. Alright, get out of here, Puzzbot. We want Adal back. I can't believe I'm saying that. But we do. We want Adal back. Kids, you will grow up. Erin, do you Do you have another riddle for us? Kids, grow up. We're gonna go to JPC Advice for Kids Corner. Hey kids, welcome to JPC's Advice for Kids Corner. Now I did not get to pick the segment name, but it all fits on the sign. I guess I'm looking at the sign behind me. It does not fit on the sign. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Today's episode, we are going to give you a special piece of advice about grandparents. And in order to do that, I've got my grandparents in the studio now. Please, my grandparents, go ahead and introduce yourself.
00:28:35
???
Where am I?
Adal
My name is Ray P.C.
JPC
Okay, so that's what we're working with.
???
And I'm JP Lady.
JPC
So remember, whether your grandparents are a Ray PC or a JP lady, it's always best to treat them with respect and kindness. But do not, and I repeat, do not suffer their insolence. So if they start talking... But I need my insolence, please. If they start talking about some old-timey boomer, you know, or a real hardcore, maybe quasi-racist type of thing, you call those grandparents out. You ruin Thanksgiving.
Adal
Please. My insolence, please. It's in that bag over there.
JPC
You'll get your influence when I say it, Ray PC. Which, by the way, I don't think is your real name. I think you're trying to build off my brand. Alright kids, that's enough for JPC's Kids Corner. Remember, never let a relative slide.
Adal
And let's go to Erin's Kids Corner.
Erin
Hey kids, here's my hot take on being a kid. Nickelodeon shows move too fast and their content is not as good. Disney shows have great music and they're a little gentler, but the best shows are the PBS shows. I'm talking Peg Plus Cat. I'm talking all the other PBS shows. Daniel Tiger. Real gentle on your brain. Don't watch shows that aren't gentle on your brain. You'll grow up super messed up. Adal? Adal's Kid Corner.
00:30:01
Adal
Hey kids. Here's a little advice from Uncle Adal. Guess that I'm 104, it's not uncle. See you, Pini. Pick it up. Now you have a weapon if someone picks on you. That's right.
Erin
I don't think Adal's ever met a kid and that's becoming increasingly clear to me. No, that's right.
JPC
Because as we all know... I've seen drawings.
Erin
No.
JPC
Money is the greatest weapon. For sure.
Erin
Unbelievable. Well, okay. I have a riddle that's a kid's riddle submitted by a kid.
Adal
This is submitted by Kid.
Erin
Yeah, this is, but submitted by Brendan, who has a kid. Hi! Been loving the podcast since he first started and inspired me to start making up Riddles with my kids whenever we are traveling around in the car. Quick reminder, everyone in the car right now wants McDonald's. Just go!
Adal
Yeah, the double cheeseburger is only a dollar. And just a reminder, this episode is sponsored by McDonald's and Disney+. Go Disney+.
Erin
My six-year-old's first Riddles were kind of out there like you would expect.
00:31:06
JPC
The McFlurion. So there's two here.
Erin
Riddle, you are in a room with no windows and the door is locked.
JPC
It's like a Mandalorian McDonald's crossover, the McFlurion.
Erin
I did not sleep well last night. You're in a room with no windows and the door is locked. All you have is a flower and a hammer. How do you get out?
Adal
Okay, you're gonna cover the hammer and flour, get some panko crust on that, put it in the oven for $3.25.
JPC
Bam, you got donkey hammer!
Erin
So can you find a kid wrote this?
Adal
Yeah, that's room.
Erin
You're in a room with no windows and the door is locked. All you have is a flower and a hammer. How do you get out?
JPC
So there is a door, ostensibly.
Adal
You mean you take that hammer and you... Same through the door. But we have to think like a kid. Kids don't have much upper body strength.
JPC
Eat the flour. That way you can shoot fireballs.
Adal
Yeah. You get into wide overalls. You pick fireballs out of your nose.
00:32:06
JPC
Eat the flour. Shoot the white flour. And then the fireballs will bounce all around the room. Do not get hit by those.
Adal
So you think the noise for when you get a flour is... I think you're thinking of the underground levels. You know when you get a mushroom and it's like...
Erin
So you eat the flower. You both got the answer. Like you got parts of the answer.
JPC
You eat the flower, you grab the hammer and go... And you just hammer on that door.
Erin
Answer. You eat the flower and knock down the door with the hammer.
Adal
And who wrote this?
Erin
If I hold on, there's a great one that she wrote. But just recently she came up with a doozy and it blew my mind so I had to share it. Since you prefer handwritten scanned riddles, I made her write it out. This is a riddle from his daughter and it's great. Are you ready?
Adal
Yes.
Erin
What is as hard as a carrot and as soft as a pillow?
Adal
Okay, I need a second.
JPC
This is a kid's episode? It's as hard as a carrot, and as soft as a pillow, and this is a kid's episode. Okay.
00:33:13
Adal
Soft as a pillow makes me think of Stuart Scott. Kids love Stuart Scott around the horn.
JPC
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
???
I'm sorry.
Adal
Women be hummin' a hummin' a hummus. Hard as a carrot.
JPC
Hard as a carrot.
Adal
Carrots, I wouldn't think are traditionally super hard. Well, carrots if they're diamonds. Oh, shine bright like a diamond. A diamond, a gummy diamond. Gummy diamond. Final answer.
JPC
Hard as a carrot. Soft as a pillow? A peep? Is it a memory foam pillow?
Erin
It's a memory foam pillow.
Adal
And kids, if you're going to buy a memory foam pillow, probably want to buy it from Helix.
JPC
Yeah, why not? Oh boy. So let's put ourselves in the mind of a kid, Adal, and maybe that's going to help us. Let me out.
Erin
Inside out situation. Oh, your anger in your... Disgust. Who are you?
JPC
Oh, she's talking about an inside-out world.
Erin
You don't know inside-out?
JPC
Oh, it's great.
Adal
Oh, with Kevin Kline? That's in and out. Fiskled one.
00:34:16
JPC
No, inside-out is the one where your brain is controlled by these, like, personality things. Yeah, mini killing rules the brain or something. So, I'd be anger, you'd be depression, and Erin would be, like, type 2 diabetes.
Erin
Oh, my God. Oh, man.
JPC
I wish that inside-out's, like, we're sicknesses as well.
Erin
Just diseases.
JPC
I'd be emotional anger. I'm cancer.
Adal
And I'm slowly realizing JPC called me depression. Hmm, what to do with it?
JPC
Well, if you weren't depressed, you would have realized that way faster.
???
Let's see.
Adal
Hard as a carrot, soft as a pillow. Light as a feather, stiff as a board. A ghost. Is carrot spelled with a K or a C? C. Kids can't spell. That doesn't help. Soft as a pillow. Is it a prison tattoo? Is it a baby carrot? Is it carrot cake? Is it something I can eat? Yes. It is something I can eat. Hard as a carrot, soft as a pillow.
JPC
Is it something that when like cooked in a different way changes texture? Okay, okay. So a carrot.
Erin
Yep, a cooked carrot. What's this girl's name? Well we should learn her name because she is our new president.
00:35:22
JPC
She's her new president. Yeah, she's got my vote. Move over Kamala Harris.
Erin
Well thank you to you and your daughter for the awesome riddle.
JPC
Is that Brendan? Or Brandon?
Erin
Brandam.
JPC
Okay, his name's Brandam. Brandam, thank you so much and thank you, daughter, for those awesome riddles. I hope she enjoys this episode where she got to hear her own riddle, so of course she wouldn't because she knows the answer. So this episode, not for your daughter. Now, that's the only daughter that we know who listens to the show, so maybe it was for your daughter. Okay, Brandam, you got us over a barrel here. What do you want?
Erin
I know what I want. I want to see a scene. I promise you'll like this and then we'll do your scene. I want to see a scene. I want to see JP Riddles at Thanksgiving dinner with his niece and nephew and we'll see if JP can do it.
Adal
This will be our biggest challenge yet.
JPC
No, it won't. It'll be my biggest challenge yet. You have to do nothing.
Erin
Hi Uncle JP Riddles. Can you pass the rolls?
JPC
Okay, best of rules. Here's the keys to my Rolls Royce. Just kidding, that's a lawnmower with a lawn chair riding on top of it. I call it my Rolls Royce, but really what it is is it's a riding mower that I turned into a standing mower. Oh boy, what are you kids doing here?
00:36:29
Adal
We're here for Thanksgiving.
JPC
Thanksgiving? That's right! I said I'd host this year! We're thankful for you, Uncle JP. My tree is a mess. Alright, come up into the branches. Yeah, what is this, JP? What is this tree? This is my apartment. I leased this for my landlord. Now my landlord's a squirrel, but he's got a big, great beard, so he's wise.
Erin
Uncle JP Riddle, like my brother said, we're so thankful for you, so we thought we didn't want you to spend the holiday alone.
JPC
Oh, that's very nice of you, but I'm never alone. I've got the ghost of my past haunting me wherever I go.
Adal
Is this harp in the corner your bed?
JPC
That's a harpoon, actually. Oh, I'm dumb. It's a helix sleep harpoon. Ain't nothin' like a great night's sleep on a sharp rusty underwater fish sword.
Adal
You'll have a whale of a night.
Erin
That's true. Nice. Uncle JP Riddle?
JPC
Yes, what's going on?
Erin
Did you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade this morning?
Adal
Yeah, did you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?
JPC
I did watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, but I gotta say that I was pretty dicey for me because me and Underdog have quite a rivalry. Oh.
00:37:37
Erin
The balloon?
JPC
Nope, not the balloon. The man the balloon's based on.
Adal
The underdog? You mean Sam Rockwell's acting career?
JPC
How old are you? Never mind. Kids come up into the tree and I want to tell you... Now, I'm glad that I just invited you and not your judgmental parents. But, Thanksgiving is a... They're just judges.
Erin
That's what their job is. They're a judge.
JPC
Well, actually, technically, they were both disbarred, or they should be, when the court gets my letter. But I did write it in squirrel blood and I made my landlord mighty mad. But I've been borrowing that from him. But I wanted to tell you kids what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Adal
What, Uncle JP?
Erin
Can you read a swan lumps that talks about what you're thankful for?
JPC
I absolutely can, but I have prepared a swan lumps for this very occasion.
Adal
Oh.
JPC
Ah, swan lumps 159.
Adal
His eyes are rolling back into his head to where it's only white.
JPC
Swan lumps 159, the man who fell out of the tree on Thanksgiving Day. Well, it was a brisk and cold February morning. That's redundant. Nowhere near Thanksgiving but old. The old man in the tree decided that he had been a wise way. He wanted to see his niece and nephew and hope that they could maybe steal some money from their parents. So he sent them a Thanksgiving letter and he sent it to their school so no one would find it. And the kids came unwittingly to the tree. Now the tree was not a load-bearing tree because it's more of a shrub! And it's at the governor's mansion. And that old man could not keep his weight balance in that tree and he plummeted right out and he smacked his head on the ground. Oh, but... But he was okay, right? Of course he was okay. He was telling the story. In fact, smacking his head on the ground, he went to the school nurse. Now, the school nurse was the only nurse that would see him because he's not allowed back in the hospital anymore because he would steal the penicillin. And the school nurse took pity on him and she said, you know, what you need is you just need a nice place to stay. And he said, can I stay here in the school? And she said, well, that would be horribly inappropriate. And she called the police and he ended up staying in jail. And so he spent his Thanksgiving, February through April, in a jail cell. But you know what, kids? He deserved it.
00:39:48
Adal
Oh, what a great story.
JPC
You ready for Thanksgiving dinner?
???
Yeah.
JPC
We're going to eat a live squirrel. Get your squirrel forks. I'm coming for you, little lord.
Adal
Uncle JP, why does this postage stamp have wife written on it?
JPC
Oh boy. Well, kids, it's about time you met old JP Riddle's wife. This stamp? Uh-huh. She's a forever stamp, so she'll always stay young.
???
See?
Adal
You did it. You did it. What's the scene you wanted to see? I'm happy with what happened. And I also can't remember what the original riddle was that we just did. Oh, we did the carrots. Oh, I do want to see a scene. This will be fairly quick, but I just wanted to get Erin involved. So Erin, this will be a scene where you and JBC are husband and wife rabbits. And both of you have sort of reached your creative limits in terms of how to cook carrots or what to do with them.
JPC
I wrapped back more carrots for dinner.
00:40:51
Erin
Okay, I guess. Let's see. I can mash them.
JPC
Okay, we had mashed carrots like two nights ago. I don't really want to eat mashed carrots.
Erin
Make them look like pasta. Make the carrots look like pasta.
JPC
Okay.
Erin
I don't have a ton of time tonight though babe because we have to get all 80 of our kids into bed and they like three of them have soccer.
JPC
Thank you. It's good to be noticed.
Adal
Name us. Name you? Yeah, we love that song. What's all our names?
JPC
We already named you. We named you when you were born. Why don't you tell us your name? What do you forget?
Adal
I'm tired.
JPC
Yeah, go to bed. No soccer for you tonight. Okay, you know what? Just this one night, just this one night, and we will not make a habit of this. No, let's just go to McDonald's. Okay, let's go to McDonald's.
Erin
Let's get for 80, for 82 rabbits.
JPC
Can I take your order, please?
Erin
Hi, what do I want?
JPC
We'll have four of those eggs that have the socks for the place. Yeah.
00:41:52
Adal
And I'm so sorry. Are you in the car? What's that? Are you in a car? My motion detector is sensing no car.
Erin
We are... We're in a Barbie car.
Adal
We're 80 rabbits in a Barbie car. I'm sorry, let me write this down. You're 80 rabbits in a Barbie car.
Erin
That's not our order, though.
Adal
80 rabbits in a Barbie car. You're 80 rabbits in a Barbie car.
JPC
Hey, fat boy Slim, I think you're really going to like this song.
Adal
80 rabbits in a Barbie car. I'm sorry, that's my bad.
JPC
I will stop calling. Okay.
Adal
Hey fat boy, it's me, your cousin. You know that new sound you're looking for? It's me, your cousin. Gary, Gary Slim.
Erin
Wait, you know what? I just thought... What?
Adal
How could we know that?
Erin
We didn't answer one of the riddles earlier.
Adal
Oh no, which one?
Erin
How can you spell cold with two letters?
Adal
Oh yeah.
JPC
What do you mean we didn't answer it?
Erin
I didn't answer it! People must be going crazy, I think.
00:42:56
JPC
Did I answer that? I don't think so.
Erin
Oh my gosh.
JPC
Is it E-R?
Erin
It's I-C. I said I-C.
Adal
That's what JBC said. So we did answer it.
Erin
Oh, never mind.
Adal
He said I-C and I said, ooh, that's great. And then Erin... Looked up from her nap and said no.
Erin
I'm so lost. What the heck is happening? Am I okay?
Adal
Probably not. We should clarify kids. We got up it. We got here into the studio at 9 a.m.
Erin
Well this is what happened.
Adal
This is the longest day in Hey Riddle history.
Erin
It really is.
JPC
This is funny because I get up every morning at 6am. I get every day at 2pm.
Erin
This is what the issue is though. So last night I went to bed at like And I was like, I'm going to be so rested. And I slept for a couple hours. And then my boyfriend's out of town right now for a long time. And so I'm alone in our condo.
Adal
Well, the can is away. The mouse will sleep.
Erin
Yeah, the mouse will just like eat pizza on the couch. Like fart about.
00:44:04
Adal
Let's give him something to fart about.
Erin
But I was sleeping and then from my closet there was like this insane clang sound that I've never heard before.
Adal
Oh, was it clang clang?
Erin
I honestly think some sort of pipe like moved or broke and it was so scary to me and I had so much adrenaline that I didn't go back to sleep after that. So I've been up since like 1 30 in the morning.
JPC
So kids, listen to this. If you hear a scary sound in the middle of the night, go into your parents' room. Tell them that you are afraid. They will go investigate by opening the closet door. When they open, you will see that there's nothing to be scared anymore. There's nothing in the closet now. There's nothing in the closet now.
Adal
Take that smile. Turn into a frown. Open up your closet door. Ooh, it's Clang the Clown. Clang the Clown's a hungry clown. Last time we talked to a kid. Clang the Clown is not real kids. Okay, hold on, hold on.
00:45:05
Erin
Backpack, back, backpedal, not backpack.
Adal
So backpack, clang the clown in your backpack. I want to say I met a, I want to say I hung out with a bunch of kids in dairy? Dairy school?
Erin
Clang the Clown, lives in your backpack.
Adal
Clang the Clown is a protector. He's a good clown.
Erin
He's a good clown. He's scary.
Adal
He eats kids. No! Kids' meals. He eats kids' meals. Because he loves the toys. Because he loves McDonald's. Okay, okay, look. Clang, Clang, Clang want the clown.
JPC
The only way to forget about Clang the Clown is to go into our last segment. Kids, we have a very special treat for you. It's me, King the Clown. No, it's not. Clang, get out of here. Get out of here.
Adal
I'm always in your head.
Erin
Clang the Clown. Clang, you suck. You truly ruined this episode, Clang.
Adal
Why was I made?
JPC
Well kids, splish splash. We're going to the sandbox. And please do not splash. The sandbox will splash sand right in people's eyes. In order to get to the sandbox, we have a special guest in the studio, Sandy. Welcome.
00:46:11
Erin
Welcome back.
Adal
Yeah, thanks. This sandbox has no water policy.
Erin
How do I get the sand to stick so I can make a castle?
Adal
We'll talk later. Famously, you can only play in the sandbox in the 30 minutes after you've eaten, right? That's right. And then, yes, between meals and swimming in the ocean full of sharks. Perfect. Perfect. Cover yourself with sand. This sandbox is a little bigger than it usually is. Yeah, we have one more person in the sandbox. I brought my 10-year-old son, Esra, with me. Let's lift up this blanket. Hi Ezra. Hello Ezra.
Erin
Ezra, you are the first kid we've ever had on the show. How does it feel? Uh, good. Good.
Adal
Ezra, on a scale of one to ten, how much do you like McDonald's? Keep in mind this episode is sponsored by McDonald's.
???
A six. We'll take it. A six or a seven.
Adal
Thank you for your honesty.
JPC
It's above average, so that's fine.
???
Like a six or a seven.
JPC
That's good. Yeah, we'll say seven.
???
My friend hates it. Don't say that.
Adal
Ezra, you've heard the show before, right?
00:47:12
???
What do you mean?
Adal
Hey Riddle Riddle. You've heard it before, right? Yeah. He clearly hasn't. He said, what do you mean? You're leading the witness. No, why are we on the show? Tell them how you like the show. Ezra, is that true?
???
Do you like her show? The first time you were on there, you tell them how you introduced me to the show?
Adal
Oh that's right, I did tell the story the first time.
JPC
So he is a fan, he does listen to the episodes and he knows that his dad's already given him an address. I let him listen to my segments and nothing else. Well you'll be happy to hear that you can listen to this entire episode because we've recorded our very first Kid Friendly episode. So it's family friendly.
Adal
Thumbs up. In which curse words are you using the show for the kids? Shoot. Gosh, doornut.
???
Scoop-ski, scoop-ski.
Adal
Gosh, donut is one of our big ones. Yeah, and we do say scoop-ski, scoop-ski.
Erin
Ezra, I have a couple questions before we get into your puzzles. In this Kid Friendly episode, we were talking about what celebrities and actors kids care about. Because Adal kept making references to people who I'm pretty sure no one under the age of 20 knows.
00:48:18
???
Okay, I have one in my mind. A lot of kids like this person. Who's that?
Adal
He's a DJ. Didn't he do a set in Fortnite?
Erin
Yeah. Okay, see this is what I'm trying to learn and understand. Anyone else off the top of your mind?
Adal
Ezra, this is your chance to make up any word they will believe you. He's like lying, I don't understand. Ezra, I'm gonna give you some names and you tell me yes or no in terms of if they're hot with the youths. Gloria Gaynor. End of list.
Erin
I don't know that person.
Adal
Okay.
Erin
And you're in the fifth grade? Yes. Okay, cool.
Adal
And you're 10 years old? Yeah, but he doesn't know if you older celebrities tell them. What movie you watched last night? You don't remember?
???
No, I don't.
Adal
It was called The General.
???
Oh yeah. Oh wow. With Busta Keaton. Oh my gosh.
Adal
Wow, okay. It was like the... He's the third... Busterhead. Sorry.
???
Is it the third time?
00:49:19
Adal
I never want to correct a kid, it's pronounced Busta Rhymes. It's a Michael Keaton.
???
Did you like it? Yes, it was the third time I watched it. Oh wow. Or it's like something like that. My sister really likes it. We watch it when we go to our grandma's house because we just did this morning.
Adal
Yeah, but also we went to go see a Buster Keaton festival that one time.
???
Oh yeah! That's really cool.
Adal
Wow.
JPC
Sounds like you got a really cool dad.
Erin
And your sister is younger than you? Yes. She's eight. Okay, cool. And what celebrities does she care about?
???
Hi Riddle. Isn't that like a movie?
Adal
Sure. Yeah. Don't ever Google it.
JPC
And Ezra, we heard that you have written some of your own puzzles that you wanted to do on the show. Is that correct?
00:50:20
???
Yes. Okay. We took it off a style from my, um, my puzzle book that like, I was like, um, smart, like puzzles for smart people.
Adal
Nice. You're in the wrong place. We, we, we started there and, and, and, and twisted.
???
We found a style we liked.
JPC
We have free puzzle experts Ezra, as your father knows, and we would love to try to beat your puzzles. So would you do us the honor of walking us through some of these?
???
Here's an example. So we're gonna get a number and then some initials and you need to figure out what those initials are. Here's an example.
Adal
Okay.
???
A hundred C and an M. Ooh, okay, I see.
Adal
A hundred centimeters and a meter?
???
Yes. Okay. So there's 17 more on this page. Just get ready.
Adal
I think we've done this type, so I think we have practice. I'm very ready.
???
Some of these are very hard, so get ready. These are very hard.
Adal
Oh boy. Seven C of the W. Seven C of the W. Seven Cats of the Wild. No. Come on. Seven Conders of the World. Seven C of the W. Oh, seven shows on the CW.
00:51:34
JPC
Seven Condens of the World.
???
Yeah.
Adal
Okay, got it. Nailed it.
???
20, this is strange, 20 F and T on the HB.
Adal
20 F and T. Is 20 F and T on the HB? Isn't that a Boyz II Men lyric?
???
What? What? F and T on HB.
Adal
Woah, woah.
???
I don't know, not in a movie at life.
JPC
Is it 20 F? You've never seen the movie Boyz II Men? 20 F and T.
Adal
F and T on the HB. Let's figure out what HB is first. The Hewlett-Packard. The HB. I'm trying to think of what 20... I think 20 F and T will be the easier part. 20 fingers and toes on a hot body. You said F and B or T?
???
F and T. Fingers and toes.
Adal
Let's be your partner. 20 fingers and toes on a human body.
???
Yes.
Adal
I said hot body.
???
We're very close, but not close enough.
JPC
I just want to go on the record of saying, I think, conventionally attractive is 20 fingers to death.
00:52:35
???
Phoebe? I'm done.
JPC
Phoebe, that's the first thing I'm looking at.
???
Oh boy. Okay, this one's... hard. Okay. One BRD on the JF.
Adal
One BRD on the JF.
???
No.
JPC
Is big red dog right?
???
No. Big red dog is close for that part.
Adal
Two of those words are right. Big and red. One big red. One big and rich.
Erin
One big red.
Adal
Dice. No. And the last part is on the B-R. On the G-F.
Erin
On the J-F.
JPC
J-R.
Erin
We are aggressively not listening. We're so sorry.
JPC
Big red something on the J-F. Yes. Okay, J-F.
Erin
Big red.
Adal
Okay, JF. J is a proper noun. J is a proper noun. Okay, John Favreau. Not the F though. Not the F. John.
00:53:41
JPC
Is it like John's? No. I was going to say just a proper noun.
Adal
One big red.
Erin
What begins with a D?
Adal
One big red digit. One big red divot. One big red dot?
Erin
Yes.
Adal
One big red dot. One big red dot on the... Can of Sprite.
Erin
Jeff. Jeff. Jeff.
Adal
One big red dot on the juicy fruit. On the... No, that's not the proper noun.
JPC
On the... What's got a big red dot on it?
Adal
Justice. How did Ezra count into the show? Japanese flag. Flag.
???
Yes. One big red dot on the Japanese flag. Oh, that's so good.
Adal
That's fantastic.
???
All right.
Adal
Ezra, what's next?
Erin
12 E in a D.
Adal
12 E in a D.
Erin
12 Erens in a Day.
Adal
The 12 Erens of a Day. 12 Easters in a Decade. Sleepy, spooky, scary.
Erin
12 Easters in a Decade. There's a couple years, there's two Easters.
Adal
12 E's and a D's. 12 E or Ears in a Day. This is actually pretty conventional. Is this a unit of measurement? Kind of. 12. You want to give them a category or a hint?
00:54:51
???
Um, it's food Riddle. Quote on quote. Eggs and a dozen.
JPC
Yes. Eggs and a dozen. Cheaper by the.
???
Okay, this one dad printed wrong. Or at least he typed it up and printed something wrong that isn't supposed to be there.
JPC
Ezra, you've queued into one of our favorite things on the show, which is calling out someone's error when it didn't need to be called out.
Adal
And that brings us to our first ever, ugh, dad, corner.
???
Uh, 12 E on an... 12 E on a... What? Two. Oh, I'm sorry. 2 E on an F unless you're a C.
Adal
There's a lot I want to do with this one. 12 E's on an F. Two E's on an F, unless you're a C. Two ears on a face, unless you're a cat.
Erin
Do cats have three ears?
Adal
Yeah. Unless you're a fairy fiction. One of those is right.
Erin
Two eyes on a face.
JPC
Unless you're a cyclops.
???
Yes. Dad typed it in, eyes on a face, unless you're a sensor.
00:55:55
JPC
Does he not know the difference between a centaur and a cyclops? Has he listened to any of my magic type appearances?
???
That was just in his mind when he was typing it up, but he put a centaur.
Adal
Okay. And that's where I want to take a minute since you're talking about cyclops. How do you feel about Clang the Clown?
???
What?
Adal
Great. That's all we needed.
Erin
Also, what's your favorite mythical creature?
Adal
Narwhal. Narwhal.
Erin
Narwhal.
???
Dragon? Oh, nice. Not great.
Adal
A classic answer. Dragons are the best. And they love tacos. That's a book. Written by a former IO Improvisor, Adam Rupin.
???
Oh, this is all sorts of fun trivia. Okay. Um, this one is easy because you'll most likely get it. 12 I on AR.
Adal
12 I, 12 inches. Unruler.
???
Unruler. Nice. I told you that was easy.
JPC
Yeah, you were right.
???
Okay. This one is...
JPC
Medium. I love the commentary on the difficulty.
Erin
I'm actually glad they never do this for me for Riddles.
00:56:57
JPC
The danger here is saying like this one is easier than it stumps us and makes us look like fools. Yeah. But this is a medium. It's okay to get this one wrong.
Adal
We always make Erin eat spicy wings during all of our interviews.
???
52 WK on AP.
Adal
52 WK on a P. Well, weeks. 52 DC Universe reboot.
???
W and P. No, W and K are separated. So 52 WK on a P.
JPC
52 White Keys on a piano. Nice.
???
And I got it. This one is pretty much almost everyone knows this. Maybe. 70 on a CHD. No K. 70? 70.
JPC
No K is part of it?
Adal
Yes. Seven T on a PhD. CHD. No K. On a CHP? CHD.
00:58:04
Erin
CHD.
Adal
No K. 7 P. T.
JPC
7 T on a CHD. I only know that no K stands for no collusion.
???
No, it does not. I'm sorry, but it is not.
Adal
7 T on a CHD. 7 tests on a college head department. 7? 7 times on a cafeteria.
???
7 Thursday. I thought you'd get this.
Adal
You thought we'd get this? This is hard. Tell them what C stands for. That'll be a good hint.
???
Chicago.
Adal
Chicago Housing Department. Seven.
???
Seventy on a Chicago HD.
Adal
No K. Chicago HD. Holiday. Seven.
JPC
Chicago Head Department. Chicago. Seven.
Adal
Seven Teamsters.
Erin
Seven.
JPC
Seven Teams.
Adal
What's the category Ezra?
JPC
Well yeah, give us a general category.
Erin
Food.
Adal
Seven.
JPC
Toppings on a Chicago hot dog. No ketchup, please.
00:59:05
Erin
Yes, that is correct. Toppings on a Chicago hot dog.
JPC
And also Ezra, no collusion. No collusion, no collusion. No quid pro quo. What does that mean?
???
It doesn't matter.
JPC
Use your collusion.
Adal
Guns and roses. All right, Ezra. Okay, Ezra's going into the bullpen.
???
That just showed me that to not do one.
JPC
Don't do that one. Because you think we'd be bad at it? Ezra, I think you wanted you to skip to that one. I think you wanted you to specifically use that one.
???
Do you use the one he's making me go to?
JPC
I think so, yeah.
???
I don't think so.
JPC
Oh, no? I could be misreading... I could be misreading this situation completely.
???
8P in the SS. 8P. Whoa. 8P in the SS plus P.
Adal
8P. 8P in the SS. 8, uh, I mean, I don't want to say what the SS is.
JPC
Seinfeld sucks.
Adal
8P in the SS. Saturday, Sunday. Eight pouches.
Erin
Eight points. Eight.
Adal
Eight points in this category scramble.
JPC
Eight P in the SS no... no what? Eight P in the SS no... Eight P in the SS plus P. Plus P. Plus P. Yeah, plus P. Plus... Eight periods in the school day plus... Well, here's a big hint. Okay. It used to be nine. Oh, planets in the solar system. Oh, planets in the solar system. Plus plubo. Plus plubo.
01:00:24
Erin
Yeah, we call plubo plubo.
JPC
Erin said that with the most disdain I've ever heard of you.
Adal
Yeah, we call it Blubo on this show. We call Goofy Goopy.
Erin
Yeah, Planet Show.
???
Okay, what do you got for us? Dad crossed some more out. Go ahead. One bee in an M's bee, usually. One V. One B. One B. One B and an M's B usually.
JPC
One burger and a McDonald's burger.
Erin
This whole episode we've been trying to convince people to stop their road trips and go to McDonald's so anytime we can...
JPC
I've been seeing all these people who go through the drive-thru ordering McDonald's burgers, and you're putting two burgers on them. That stops today. That's a McDevil.
Erin
What the people?
Adal
One basketball and a Michael Borden. One B and an MB. What was the last one?
???
One bedroom and a... Master bedroom.
Adal
One B and M's B. M's B. M apostrophe S. So does M still stand for something?
01:01:26
Erin
What's the category?
Adal
In the car we couldn't think of a category for this one.
Erin
People. Sure. So is the M a proper noun? No. One?
Adal
None of them are proper.
Erin
It's just like an M's B. And a makers buzzes.
JPC
One moment in a man's belief. No? No, it's the beginning of your movie trailer.
Erin
Your documentary about you getting in shape.
Adal
How about, it'll take a while. Biology, would that be a good category? One brain. One brain and a man's body.
Erin
One brain and a man's body.
Adal
One of those words is right.
Erin
Man's.
Adal
Body. Body.
Erin
Body.
Adal
Oh no, it's not right.
Erin
It's not right.
Adal
Body's close. One booger. In the... Monthly... It could be body, frankly. It could be. But it's more specifically some part of the body. Brain.
???
Butt. Butt.
Adal
No.
???
Butt. Nice.
01:02:26
Adal
Brain. Back?
???
Brain. Back. Butt. Blood. Blood. No.
Adal
Bye, Vel. Bye. Let's give him the... Let's give him the second B. Tell him the second B. So the B in the M's B part? Belly. One baby in the mother's belly. Yes. Nice. Unless it's... Casey knew that one.
Erin
Multiples. Love it.
Adal
One baby in the mother's belly. Okay. Okay. As we're selling secrets. Out of school?
???
What?
Adal
Nothing.
???
Six S on a G or four S on an L? Six S on a G. And the S is the same S. Six S on a G or four?
JPC
S on a L. Six legs on a giraffe, four legs on a lion. Ooh, that brings us to our first... What are we doing?
Adal
Six S on a G or four S. It's not L. Six S on a G. Six socks on a grandma.
Erin
Six socks and four socks on a... on a...
01:03:31
Adal
Llama on a lady. 6S. 6S on a G, 4S on an L. S and L. And you know what else? Here's another hint. 4S on an L or a U. U-hall, limo or U-hall?
???
Don't make it harder for them.
JPC
We're so stupid. Uh, four S on an L. Six S on a G. Six? Strikes. Glove or leg? Are glove or leg part of this? Nope. Is this sports? No. Is this food?
???
No.
Adal
Is this weather?
???
No.
JPC
What's the category?
Adal
Come on, you gotta use the category on this.
???
Instruments.
Adal
Instrument 6.
Erin
G's on an S. Strings on a guitar, four strings on a lute.
Adal
Wow. Or ukulele.
???
Here's one that dad wanted me to do. A hundred P and an F and G, but only one is LS. 100 P. I hope you write this down because this is a long one.
JPC
Okay, say it again. 100 P.
01:04:33
???
Can you say it again? 100P in an F-N-G, but only one is L-S.
Adal
Only one is L-S. A hundred potatoes in a French nightgown, but only one... Latter-day Saint. But only one in S. What was it? But only one L-S.
Erin
He is L-S. A hundred pennies in a... Freakin...
???
100. That told me this would be really easy for you. 100 pounds. Wow. You said something like that.
Adal
I said they would like it. 100 pounds in a... 100p in an FNG, but only one is national growth.
JPC
But only one is LS. Only one in LS or is? Is LS. But only one is... Last Saturday. 100 puzzles.
Erin
No.
Adal
But only one is Leonard Skinner'd?
Erin
What? Your what? I want to be my new text tone on my phone every time Adal or JPC texts me.
01:05:38
JPC
What? Is it 100 people?
Adal
It's close. People would work. Sort of. Princes. 100. Prisoners. Problem.
???
No.
Adal
More specific than people, but 100 peasants.
???
100. Hopes. No. 100 Irish. Pirates.
Adal
No. 100 pirates in a... You want to give them a category? Yeah.
???
Yeah. Gaming.
Adal
Gaming 100 players in a Fortnite game, but only one is standing.
JPC
That's why... That rules Ezra.
???
That's a really good one. There's probably gonna be one more of that rule.
JPC
Okay Ezra, we have enough time for one more of the rules. Can you give us your last... Give us your best.
Adal
This is the last one.
???
Try to stump us. Okay. You'll most likely get this, but this will probably rule over the Fortnite match.
JPC
I hope so.
???
3H of HRR. Three hosts of Hey Riddle Riddle.
01:06:39
Adal
Ezra, thank you so much. This was amazing.
???
Dad made that last week.
Adal
We'll cut that out. I love how you've been giving your dad shade this whole time and then you're giving him credit. Ezra, do you have anything to promote or to plug? What do you mean? What great can people find you in?
JPC
Ezra, is there something that you've worked on that you would like people to listen to or find or is there something that you would like to have?
Adal
Ezra, when our producers met with you before the show, you gave us this card. It says you were in a podcast before this with your sister and dad called Zed.
Erin
The Zed Show, yeah. The Zed Show and you can find it on iTunes.
Adal
Is that right? You want to tell them about it?
???
How about you do that?
Adal
Okay. We made a podcast back when they were much younger, where we had like, each episode's like eight to 10 minutes and we would just ask each other questions about the world. There's like 45 episodes and they're on, yeah, they're on all the iTunes and stuff. And just search ZED? Yeah, ZED show. There's a picture of the two kids dressed up and holding customs. And much like your puzzles Ezra, ZED stands for something, which is... Is that what Ezra did? Zella, Ezra, Dad. So check it out.
01:07:46
Erin
Before you go, we at the end of the episode are going to promote things that are kid appropriate to watch or to listen to or to read. So is there anything that you're watching right now or playing or reading that you want to recommend?
???
I'm doing Duolingo. Duolingo?
Adal
Well, language.
Erin
Japanese.
Adal
Nice. Very cool. Ezra, tell them about the switch game you just finished that you really liked.
???
Oh, the return of the Obra Dinn.
Adal
Ooh, I just bought that for Switch. On the recommendation of Travis McElroy.
???
Name drop.
JPC
What? Better than you Ezra. That's awesome. You've done 45 episodes of a podcast. That guy's done millions of episodes of a podcast.
Adal
Were you trying to do it better than Ezra Joe?
Erin
I genuinely think that some kids are going to be listening to this. So those are good recommendations for kids.
Adal
So you can play this for all your friends in school and let them know that you're cool AF.
JPC
Okay Ezra and we, as always in this episode, always French. You get to take a one scoop of sand from the sandbox with you and put it into your desk. Oh, you drank that whole thing!
01:08:52
???
Time to go to the hospital, you gotta get the sand out of your belly. That's my scooping impression. That's a hospital ride for you, Sandy.
JPC
Sandy's taking Ezra to the hospital, we'll see you later.
Adal
Bye Sandy. Bye, Sandy. Bye Ezra.
???
Bye Ezra. So good to see you.
Adal
JBC, you wanted to say bye? Sure-ona.
Erin
Let's do some quick personal plugs, but also plug something that is Kid Friendly to watch.
Adal
Plug something for kids. Kids, you're going to want to check out Rick and Morty. It's a cartoon. Fun cartoon.
JPC
I'll go ahead and plug something. Kids, something that I think is very enjoyable to watch is the movie Moana. I personally watch Moana as an adult in the movie theater three times that I cried twice. It's a very good movie. Kids, if you haven't seen Moana, do not let your parents slide and say, Moana now please.
Adal
And I'm going to piggyback off that because Moana has a little piggy and maybe a rooster or chicken or something, something weird. And I'm going to say, kids, check out the movie Kubo and the Two Strings. It's a movie I saw in the theaters three times. It's fantastic. It's, I think, some sort of claymation or something, stop motion animation. But it's beautiful and it's a wonderful story and beautiful music and well acted. So you should check out Kubo and the Two Strings. And if your parents won't get it for you, tell them Moana now.
01:10:18
Erin
I think you should check out the movie Newsies from the early 90s. It's the best time. It's so much fun to watch. I saw it when I was eight or nine and I watched it like three times in one night. Definitely check it out. I think you'll love it. Also follow me, Erin Keif, head on Instagram.
Adal
No. No. Also read the book, hatch it, just in case you're ever in a situation where you lost in the Canadian woods.
???
Oh, that book stressed me out.
JPC
Gary Paulson. All right, kids, here's one more thing that I want to plug. So your parents, after they put you to bed, maybe 10, 11 o'clock at night, set an alarm, wake up silently, sneak into their room, get their wallets, get their credit card, go to Patreon.com slash Hey Riddle Riddle, buy a bunch of subscriptions, go to our tea public store, just go wild. All small. I'm talking smalls, stickers, whatever you want. Just buy our merch. Put the card back in the wallet. Never tell them. Now they will fight about it. But you keep that secret forever.
Adal
Okay, now kids, here's what we want you to do. We had a great time with you. We hope you had a great time. We hope you enjoyed this. Tell everyone at your school about, Hey Riddle Riddle, tell your teachers, scream at your principals about this podcast. Now we want you to either plug your ears or step away from the old timey radio that sits in your den because the three of us have a little something we want to do, which is It's been really hard for us to contain ourselves, to not curse, to not say anything inappropriate. So kids, you're going to want to step back again, plug your ears, turn this off. Erin, what's your favorite planet?
01:11:47
???
Jupiter. Thank you. Hey Riddle Riddle.

Hey Riddle Riddle.
Erin
Right out of the gate! I'll save that first of all and the episode on that. That was a hate gun podcast.
