Which Riddle Riddle?

#71: Kid Friendly Episode (really!)

00:00:02

???

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.

JPC

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.

Erin

Created by Adal Rifai.

JPC

Starting here in Keif and John Patrick Coan.

Kacey Toni could be editing and our new parents in the future.

JPC

So created by Emily Cardenas and Emily Nemours.

???

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.
