The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Oh, then we're going to finish. It was the captain of an airplane.

He stabbed him with an ice cream. Adal Riddle Riddle.

Somebody solved me. Have I done that one before?

No, no way. We've only done 78 episodes. We haven't repeated anything yet.

Okay. Oh good. Thank God. Somebody solved me. I'm Adal Rifai. I'm JPC.

And I'm Erin Keif.

And welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle.

Your table is ready. The show for people who want to know about riddles. Not solve them, but know about them.

Can you believe how many episodes we've done?

78.

This is wild. I feel like I remember very clearly us having done like 12 and then I blacked out and now I'm here.

I remember episode 30 and nothing before or after. I just remember episode 30.

What happened in episode 30?

Jokes. Here, something I want to tell you too before we continue, just because I feel a little bad, is the reason you have those blackout dates or moments is because I actually recast you. So it's almost like a Becky for Marzan situation. So, Japes, to begin with, I had Tobey Maguire, and then he was reading too old.

He praised himself out and then praised himself right back in.

Absolutely. And Erin, for you, I had... Tobey Maguire. Tobey Maguire, but in a wig.

Okay.

And people didn't like it.

It was Bobby Moynihan doing a Tobey Maguire impression.

And people didn't like it? I don't believe you.

It was just him doing the dance from Spider-Man 3. People were like, not into this.

No, it was the dance from Cider House Rules.

Spider House Rules? Spider House Rules.

Oh, that sucks, that's Cider House Rules. So what's up?

How's everybody doing? I'm good. I'm good.

I'm good too. This will come out a little bit after, but I just went to Orlando to Universal for the first time. I had a great time.

Walk us through it.

Went to Wizarding World, which is outstanding, really an amazing time. Yeah, it's very, it's legit magical. Like when you first walk in, it's like breathtaking because there's so much detail put into it. I hate roller coasters, so I didn't go on all the rides. I didn't go on Hagrid's ride, which is like the popular one, but Gemma went on that twice. And there's, yeah, just specific little details that were fun. Like in the men's restroom, you can hear Moaning Myrtle, which is kind of a fun thing.

And it sounds like a man masturbating.

The, someone who works there is like, we don't have that.

Yeah, restroom sound effects?

No, man.

No way. Some guy came out of the bathroom and was like... Casey likes that one. Some guy came out of a stall and was like, I just shit in Moaning Myrtle's open mouth. I don't think it was a thing. All the restrooms have Moaning Myrtle holes in the doors.

Coincidentally, that's nothing to do with it. I've been going to Universal and sneaking into the men's bathrooms.

Please start calling glory holes Moaning Myrtle's. I also, there's the funniest, most Floridian moment, which was there's a moment where everyone's phone started beeping because there was an amber alert.

That's not funny. Well, hold on.

Hold on. Let me make it funny. Hold on. So there's a moment where everybody's phone started beeping. It was an Amber Alert. And then like five minutes later, I was sitting down. I got myself a nice butter beer and was enjoying that. And there was a drunk woman who turned on her phone and the Amber Alert went off. And all she did was go, uh-oh, Amber Alert. And did like a little like waist up.

It was her name, Amber.

Yeah. But it was the funny, I was like, I'm in Florida. Like this is the funniest. The Drunk Woman is singing Amber Alert. We walked around Universal, which was very fun, and I met Popeye, and I asked Popeye to dab in a photo, and he was in character, and I go, will you dab? And he goes, what do you want? And I go, will you dab? And he goes, you want Popeye to dab? I go, yeah. And he goes, Popeye doesn't dab.

So long story short, he dabbed.

He didn't dab. He flexed while I dabbed. But it was so funny just to hear him stay in character, but also be like, fuck you.

Amazing.

Well, he usually gets that from kids, but to get it from a grown man is like an entirely different thing. Yeah, he goes, for kids I'll do that, but for you?

He goes, aren't you a grown adult man? What are you, 53? Fuck off. Good, good, good, good, good, good.

I'm doing well. I'm excited because this weekend we will be in San Francisco for Sketchfest, which is excellent. Get the fuck out of Chicago. And if you are still on the fence about going to San Francisco to see our Sketchfest show, just go to it and just go to, you know, what is it?

We have Rob Cordry.

We have Rob fucking Cordry.

I can't believe it.

Yeah, who's one of my favorite show hosts of all time.

He's just the best. Guys, why would you miss that?

Hot tub time machine. And we're going to do about an hour long show. And then I just heard back from the venue that we do have some time afterwards to do a little bit of meet and greet. Oh, okay. We'll get to say hi to as many folks as we can. A little hello, a little brisket, a little ham, a little meet and greet. MEAT. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

I'm going to squeeze your little face if you come. I won't do that.

One other thing I wanted to mention, just because you mentioned Squeeze Little Face, at Universal there's a Jurassic Park themed land and there's a person walking around. It's called Jurassic Park themed land. And there's a person walking around, there's a woman with a hand puppet that's like a baby triceratops, but it's clearly her hand and a puppet and then a fake hand. On her side cradling it. And she's moving the mouth and making it move. And she walked up to us and we pet it and we're like, oh, very cute. And then she walked up to a family that was a mom and dad in their thirties and a kid. And the mom recoiled and goes, is it real? No joke. No, totally sincere. And her son went to touch it and she goes, don't touch it. And she's like, is this safe to touch? Is it real? And it wasn't, and the employees are like eyeballing each other. Like, are you farting?

It was very funny.

And as we walked away, Gemma screamed more education, and I was like, that's hilarious and on point, but don't do that again, because her husband will kill me.

That just goes to show you that even dumb people can have money. Some of the stupidest people can still have access to human money.

But it was pretty glorious.

My mom's a librarian, a little boy came in once asking for a real picture of a dragon.

A real picture of a dragon.

But that was a little boy. He was like, I can't seem to find a real photo of a dragon. Can you point me in the right direction?

Wow. I have an ex who works at Adler Planetarium and she did a show where she brings out like a chunk of ice. There's like a 4D show that they go to space and they have a chunk of ice fall off the ship or something. And at the end, she comes out with a chunk of ice and it's from, you know, Jupiter's ring or something. And people would touch it or kids would touch it and be like, oh, amazing. And then the parents would go, uh, be honest with me. I'm an adult. Is that, is that real ice from Jupiter?

Oh, they just felt pain in the body.

Is that real ice from Jupiter? Hey, I know you don't have to tell the kids, but for me. For me, come on. Is that real Jupiter? Until then. So I think we're doing a podcast about riddles.

I think so. I'm fine, by the way. Oh, how are you, Erin? I'm good. I'm great. I've never been better.

You just audibly yawned into the mic pretty deeply.

No, I'm great. I'm in the time of spending money. Yeah, I mean, I'm dying of money spending, but I'm spending a lot of time with my boyfriend's family. Like the coils. Like we're in a real marathon of spending time.

The gargoyles.

Yeah. It's a blast. It's been really, really fun. But like his brother stayed with us all weekend and we got dinner with his parents on Thursday and we spent time with his dad's side of the family yesterday. And then it's like, The next three days is all his mom's side of the family.

And Erin, you were saying that you were calling them the recoils because of the off-color jokes you were telling?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Because the off-color jokes they were telling?

He... they are so funny and nice and I just want to impress them.

Their off-color jokes are funny? I've heard some of these things. I would not say they were funny.

Oh, I did find out his mom and dad came over and she told me that she's from Europe. They came to see our apartment for the first time because they haven't seen it all decorated since I moved in and they came over before we went out to dinner and his mom was like, Oh, I've listened to your podcast. Like me and Sean's sister, like listen to it on the way back from like a drive. And I just like, my whole body turned to ice and I was like, Oh my God.

She's like, you should talk Sean a lot.

I do. Poor Sean.

She's like, we bought you a new microphone so you could, microphone, we bought you a new microphone so you can shut the fuck up. I bought you new microwaves so you could shut the fuck up.

Sean did come into the apartment the other day and he was like, um, I listened to a couple of episodes of Hey Riddle Riddle, um, you made fun of me. And I was like, what did I say? And he was like, he said, no one works harder than Sean Coyle and I mean that. He said that? Yeah, I said that. Okay. I don't remember that, but I was making fun of it. But I was like, oh, I've always only thought of it about my family listening and what I shouldn't say in front of them. And it never occurred to me that Sean's family could be listening. And now I have a whole new level of fear.

One day someone at my work is going to listen to this and they'd be like, hey, I listened to that podcast. You're fired. Talking about fucking dogs a lot. Maybe that's something that you are interested in doing and then suddenly I'm in, I'm in the dog fucking club at work.

And then finally dream, boom, dream come true.

Come up to the DFC floor.

Hi. I'm Old Man Puzzles. Hello.

In this year, 2020, look at that ass. Watch that ass. Check out my butt. Check out my butt.

Something like that. I have been really dragging my feet on something. Regular smile on some listeners submitted riddles that I've really liked for a long time, but I haven't read. And then also some riddles that people have given me at World News. So I'm going to read Zoom of News. Are we ready?

Something given, something borrowed.

These are from Philip Hoy and you have expressed permission to use my full name, Philip says. Philip submitted... Philip Hoy?

Oh boy. Hoy boy.

Philip Hoy submitted some stuff over a few, I think a couple times if I'm not mistaken. But anyways, here are some.

Sounds a little annoying.

I've long since caught up and realized that I should probably send you riddles again with the answers.

Did you read these emails beforehand?

I'm just trying to think of, okay.

There are people that like write an email then four months later they write an email back just being like, Hey, just want to make sure you guys saw this. Yeah. Just to be clear, we're like a year behind on emails.

So please be patient. Here are some of your riddles.

Wait, this is to him? This is your life.

With your hands good and warm, make sure you fight fair. I can be sexual, I can be square.

Condom. With your hands good and warm, make sure you fight fair. Boxing gloves. Yeah, I was going to say something like boxing gloves. You have to touch hands.

I can be sexual, I can be square.

I can be sexual, I can be square. Oh, a ring. Pockets.

You were closest with the first thing you said.

What was the first thing you said? Boxing gloves. Boxing gloves?

That's too much of an answer.

We're in that little corner. You know what I mean. And I'm the boxing coach trying to motivate him to do one more round.

Terrific. Got it.

I don't know if I can do it. Maybe old Mickey Rourke just needs to throw in his gloves. Hang it all up. This amateur might be the one that does me in. Hey, it's me, Brick.

Last name. And I'm... Hey, Riddle City. Yep. Thank you, Brick. Alright, we'll start over and be a new boxer. Alright. Kid, your eyes are starting to swell shut. It's looking like this is the end.

I don't want to get hit any more, Mister.

Well, listen. You're, uh, how old are you? Seven? Eight?

I don't know. Seven, maybe?

Okay.

Well, you're... I was hard to remember when I get hit in the head so many times, Mister. Yeah, well...

I made a bet that I couldn't coach someone who fought Oscar De La Hoya, and I lost that bet by getting you in the ring with him.

What's the bet?

I have to fight? Why is the bet that I have to fight? Mr. Please, let me go back to my mom in line at the bank.

No, no, no, no, no.

No, I have to stay here.

Your mom's still depositing checks. I need you to continue to fight Oscar De La Hoya.

Why doesn't she use mobile deposit? It's faster and easier.

That's a question for your mom.

I guess so.

Okay, so what I need you to do is go one more round, okay?

One more round?

One more round.

I've already gone seven. Yeah, I know. And I've gotten my wixen on him.

You've gotten some wixen, like when you... No, my wixen. Oh, your wixen? My John Wixen. Oh. I broke his neck and shot him in the head. Oh, that's right. So the match is over. I forgot. Yeah.

I'm in heaven now.

But the upside is you can't be tried as an adult. That's true. And as you said, you're in heaven and I'm Gabriel, the angel. Oh, you're Gabriel? Peter Gabriel.

Round 10 in your eyes, the light, the heat.

This is round 10 and you went 7 rounds. Yeah, we skip point. Same. That was the best example that we've done on this show. Have you ever played that short form game, Dr. No? No. Where it's a two person scene, and one person has to negate everything. So it's everything you say, they're like, no it's not. And then you're like, oh yes, you're right. And you have to justify everything. So I want to see a scene between JPC and Erin. We're going to play Dr. No. JPC, you have to shut down everything Erin says. Erin, you have to make it work and justify those no's.

All right, welcome to being a woman. Let's do this.

And we'll say that you two are, because it's called Dr. No, you two are in a doctor's office. Here we go.

Yeah, I just don't know what's wrong with me.

Alright, well if you could just pop up on this seat here and then I can get a better look.

Okay. Uh, I actually can't pop up on anything. I'm a grown man. I stand up and I sit down.

No worries. If you just want to stand up, I can use this desk scope. I'm going to listen to your heart now.

Okay. You want me to do stand up? I guess I can. So white people drive so crazy. Um, when they're driving down the street, all they... It seems like you seem, you feel a lot better. No, I've got this nodule on my neck. What the fuck is this?

All right. Well, I'm just going to listen to your heartbeat.

Thump thump, thump thump, thump thump.

Actually, could you not talk while I do this? It's a little bit distracting.

Okay, I could not talk.

All right, and okay, and I'm going to hit the... Sailor slip. I'm going to look in your ears.

More not talk?

You're going to look in my ears? Your ears.

Oh, okay, yeah. You can look in my ears. Here's a pig ear. It's a dog's chew toy.

Oh, thank you so much. I have a dog, so thank you.

Here's an ear of corn.

Oh my gosh, I was going to make corn tonight for dinner. Thank you so much. Yeah, I bet you were. I'm going to look into your throat and say,

Real Monsters' favorite show.

Oh, I remember that show.

You remember it?

Do you like it? Same. And we're going to do a quick one. I'm going to be Dr. No, GBC. You're going to be in my antique store trying to buy something.

I'm in your antique store. I'm interested in this old doll. Get out of here, you silly bird. Squawk, squawk. But this bird needs his nest. And I think this store has a lot of antiques that I would want to put in my nest.

OK, I don't know. I can sort of make out you're saying antiques. But of course, this is a Walmart. So I don't know what you're referring to.

Well, I've never been here. I'm from out of town. I see you here every day. Yeah, here, yes, but I've never been in here, which is what I call this conversation. Every conversation's a snowflake. Speaking of snowflakes, what's this winter-themed icicle set? I'd love to buy this.

Oh, that's a Valentine's themed egg set.

Okay, well, I can't give my Valentine eggs because she can't have children. Don't you have two kids, though? I do have two kids. They're both adopted. Yes, they're not natural born. I remind them every day. What about this TV set?

Oh, this kind of paper. That's a mead, 80 pages college rolled mead. I'm not really thirsty.

Why don't I just get this VCR? Why are you chugging all that water then? I have to, because the doctor said my blood glucose is tanking. And so I need to drink water or else I'll get hydrolysis.

What about this VCR? So your car can go over bumps better? Hydrolysis?

Yes. I do. Well, yeah.

Oh, didn't Ludacris Pimp your ride? Or what's his name? Exhibit?

Well, Ludacris Pimped exhibits ride. I wasn't part of it, but I did watch the episode.

You will often find me buried. I hope I'm not spread too thin. Maybe you'll get stopped up by me. It depends on the place I'm in.

Hi, my name is... Can you read that one more time?

You will often find me buried. I hope I'm not spread too thin. Maybe you'll get stopped up by me. It depends on the place I'm in.

Jam? Stopped up by me. Glue. Is it jam?

Yes, you got it. Yes, you're very clever.

Oh yeah, spread too thin.

You'll often find me buried.

B-E-R-R-A-D. Do you like it? Do you have a difference between Jelly and Jam? What's it do with this? What's it do with this? One has seeds, baby.

Erin, do you know that joke?

No.

I used to do this podcast.

Hey, Riddle Riddle.

Is this your race designation? Yeah, I used to do this podcast in a joke. It was like seven or eight years ago, and it was with my friends Brent and Corey, and we do pre-show banter before, it was back in Indianapolis, we do pre-show banter before, and one of the things that they would say to guests is they would tell that joke, and it's a horrible joke, but they would end vulgar, and they would tell that joke, and then on the podcast, they would be like, hey, what's the difference between jelly and jam? And the person would be like, ooh, I can't, ooh, they'd say seeds to trip the person up.

Yeah, it's not a great joke, but I've heard it a lot. Yeah.

I don't want to tell it to you. I don't want to tell it to you either. Just Google it. Just Google it. Do your own dirty fucking laundry. Do your own clean laundry.

Fine. Fine. I have to do my laundry. You're right. I haven't done it in a while. My God.

I just brought a big pile of dirty laundry into this studio.

I thought maybe JBC could do it for me.

I'm actually using the studio washing machine right now. Her earrings are just bread times. That's real sad. I'm washing some of my raincoats.

My earrings, yeah, that's what I wash normally when I wash clothes or my earrings. I wash my earrings? What the hell are you talking about, Adal?

I guess I'm crazy. My clothes are so dirty.

All of my earrings, I can't wear them. This one's hard.

Is it still a Royboy?

Need to know the way it works?

It's hard to say Adal's butt.

Nice. You can bounce a dollar off that ass. You can bounce a full paper dollar off that ass. I'm having a lot of fun. Need to know the way it works? I'm what it's all about. On the case, six things to learn, but I'm the odd one out.

Got it. No, you don't. It's like a six-digit lock on a briefcase. Six-digit lock space balls. Need to know the way it works?

I'm what it's all about. On the case, six things to learn, but I'm the odd one out.

Crave case. Six things to learn. So six things with one odd one out. Is this like Google?

No. Six things with one odd out. Is one the number one? No. Okay.

So when you're like a reporter and you're on a case, what are all the questions you should answer to write a good... Who, what, where, why?

Which one from to ASL?

What have you spoken in English?

Who, what, where, why, how, and sometimes from. Three, and sometimes why.

Well, you're on the right track for those.

Who, what, when, where, why.

Yeah, and then.

The fuck?

There's one more. Who, what, when, where, why, and what do they all have in common?

They're all questions. So how?

Yeah, how. How is the answer? How is the answer?

Oh, I want to see a scene. Who, what, where, why, when, how? I want to see a scene. Erin, do you want to be a reporter or someone who's being reported on?

I played a reporter on the show before, so I should be being reported on.

Great. So you're giving a press conference about something and JPC and I are reporters. We're playing all short form games today. Yeah, that's true.

Thank you so much for coming out here today. I will be brief.

We have some... Is that a clue? Is this going to be about underwear?

Oddly, yes, this is an underwear case, a few... I feel like that was pointed at me, Gerald Giacomo, B Valley Times. I famously write B briefs, so just to have that thought at me makes me feel like a journalist.

To be fair, it does feel a little pointed towards me. Of course, my name is Haynes Herway, and I, of course, write for the underwear times.

Gentlemen, I implore you to not make this about you.

You won't hear from us anymore. You'll hear from a bunch of other characters.

I can't stress this enough. This is a very serious murder. There was an underwear party that happened downtown starting approximately 11 p.m. last night. Everyone in the party has been killed or is missing. The police department is on it. The who is the people who went to the underwear party. The what is what the hell were they thinking going to an underwear party? What even is an underwear party? The when? Okay. Last night, 11 p.m.

That's obviously pointed at me. Gerald Geracomo. Underwear party times, mostly. Look, have you bothered to read my articles?

Are you different from the other guy?

Yeah, his name was like Gerald Giacomo. Obviously Giacomo is a difference to the names. I know the voice is exactly the same. He's a cousin of mine. How you going? How you doing?

How you going? How you doing? When was last night? 11 PM? Where? Downtown, like I said before, downtown and a rich person left. The why? We do not understand the how. was a different creative murder for each person.

Hi, I'm Denny's Grand Slam from Hungry Times. Can you tell us one of the ways someone was murdered? Fan. No, this is the first time I've heard of you.

No, I don't think you're a fan of me. I think someone died with a fan.

Okay, like one of the unfolding ones or a oscillating or a ceiling?

A ceiling fan.

Okay, you need to be more specific.

I'm sorry, I'm laughing. I'm a little embarrassed. I think I'm just nervous.

There are lots of- Gerald Jarakamo from the other thing. Don't ceiling fans also oscillate? What's a fan if it doesn't oscillate?

I think he was implying a standing fan or a fan- Wait, wait, wait.

I'm sorry. You think ceiling fans oscillate? What do you think oscillate means? Go round and round. Okay, and let's oscillate between you and the other Jarakamo.

Oh, brother. Are we ready for another ribble?

Yes, I'm ribbled for her pleasure.

Call me Barney Ribble because I'm... Oh, JPC's was better. Call me Barney Ribble because JPC's been better.

I may sound a little sharp. I may make you dull. No, Erin, we told you you're not sharp. I just burst into tears. I may sound a little sharp. I may be in a bottle, or due to a lack, I may rattle or addle your skull. I may be in a bottle, baby. So it's either genie or me? Addle your skull? I'm an Adal in a bottle. I'm gonna sleep through most the day. Please don't wake me up. I don't want to grant your wishes. I'm an Adal in a bottle.

My apartment's got too much stuff.

Here's two things that you guys just put me on blast about. One, I sleep about 12 hours a day. I usually go to bed at 6 a.m. and I usually wake up at like 4 p.m. I have a two-bedroom place, but I have the stuff for a seven-bedroom place.

I may sound a little sharp. I may make you dull. I may be in a bottle, or due to a lack, I may rattle or addle your skull.

Or due to a lack, Alec Baldwin. Alec Alda?

No. And this is two words that are spelled differently that mean different things that sound exactly the same.

The answer is... The answer is homonyms.

I may sound a little sharp. I may make you dull. I may be in a bottle or due to a lack, I may rattle or addle your skull. Wine. Wine and wine.

Wine, wine. My wine.

My wine.

I bore it. And this is my wine.

Embarrassed or out of breath today. This is something you might display associated with having a mate. If you're in this, then your life's going great.

Ring? A couple? A throuple? No. Is it being in a throuple?

All right, I need to see this thing. It's the three of us with our current personalities and our first date as a throuple.

Current personalities. Thank you two for coming here. You know, I was saying to myself earlier. I was on time.

Sorry, I was on the phone, Adal. What did you say?

I said thank you two for coming.

It's just if you're going to say eight o'clock is when the dinner starts, be here at 7.50.

This isn't going to work. I'm sorry? I thought that maybe the three of us could be romantically involved. I thought... No, we're all into that. We're all about that. You're two of the funniest and most attractive people I know. I am on the phone now. You have stellar personalities. But I feel like just that this dynamic doesn't work, the three of us kind of grind against each other. Yeah, that's what we all want to do.

We want to grind against each other.

Do you hear each other talk over each other at the same time? We finish each other's salads.

Salads.

We finish each other's hamiltons. And JPC and I finish each other's basements.

And Adal and I finish each other's finishes. Nope. Alright, well I think this is working great. I am on the phone though, so I am responding. Some of these responses are to my phone call and some of them are to you two.

You two. Is Bono going to come by later? All right.

On a scale of one to ten, how into this throuple are the two of you? Ready? One, two, three. What's your scale? Well, yeah, I think you're Adal's right. I think that this was good on paper. Good on paper.

You didn't let me finish. Zero and then a one in front of it. And then?

Slip it behind and let me hit it from the back, baby.

All right, we're back. I'm back into this.

That's a tan scene.

Embarrassed or out of breath today, this is something you might display associated with having a mate. If you're in this, your life's going away.

A marriage. Based on that last scene, do we want to encourage some fanfic?

Didn't we encourage this and it was disgusting?

I think one person did write a pretty disgusting piece of fanfic. Really? I think we asked for people. Where can I read it? I don't think we should.

I think you wrote it. Yeah, right, that wasn't you.

Right, fanfic, but don't make it nasty. Don't make it nasty. The opposite of Austin Powers over here. So what signifies that you're in a relationship? Love. Is it love?

No. Fuck. Embarrass you're out of breath today. This is something you might display.

Display would be like a... What color are the red cheeks? Not quite red. Pink. Pink's the answer? Can you read the riddle again so I can... So how is pink associated with having a mate?

I just burped.

She got your ass you fucking cuck. Ask dumb questions. She's amazing just the way she is.

What is, how does pink associate with being a couple? I can do two. We just barf'd all over his own dick.

Every time you barf, you hit your own dick, okay? It's not some curse that I got. Everybody does it. You barf, you hit your own dick.

Sorry.

I just went out and fed a Tim Robbins tangent.

Still life with Woodpecker? Oh, I'm thinking of Tom Robbins, sorry. Erin, I'm serious. How does pink, do you know? Does it say? How does pink represent a relationship? Am I missing something?

Like love pink, like... I don't know, yeah.

Pink, like want pink. Like the singer pink?

Yeah, like the singer pink.

Let's do this. Name one, Erin, name one pink song.

Ask me a pink song. Oh, what's a pink song? Pink. It's my favorite color. Color. JBC, what's a pink song?

Bitch. Jesse Pinkman, bitch.

I'm so ahead of you, dude. I like how Eric can't name a pink song.

She has to sing a full pink song.

Yeah, that's a pink song.

That's the one I know.

That's the only picture. Look at my fingers, small and humble, so you can fuse it.

With Michelle Branch. With Michelle Branch. Okay, okay, seriously.

Yes, seriously.

Take your best shot. That's why I'm there. But you'll need the thing with which I pair. Of course, unless you are a maiden fair, you'll probably want me out of your hair.

Oh, this is something that goes in your hair pair like Siri.

So it's something that goes in your hair, but it's also something like the beginning of this. Take your best shot. That's why I'm there, but you'll need the things with which I pair. No. That's not you put a hoop in your hair. Target. Put it in your ear.

Ear clothes. Take it for a shot. Wait. Erin, I'm sorry. Where do earrings go? Not in your hair?

Your butt. They go in your butt.

Milk lemonade. I always wash my earrings and then I put them in my hair.

No. Take your best shot, that's why I'm there. But you'll need the thing with which I pair.

So it's a part of a weapon, it's 50% of a weapon. But you need both.

Bullseye's not a weapon. What weapon do you use? Crossbow. So it's 50%? Crossfit. Of that weapon.

Bow. Bow.

Bow.

It's a bow. It's a bow.

Take your best shot, that's why I'm there. But you'll need a thing with which I pair, like a bow and arrow.

I want to see a scene. My favorite in history, historically speaking, my favorite bow and arrow belongs to old William Tell, who famously shot An apple off his son's head. Erin, I want you to be William Tell. JBC, you are William Tell Jr. is what I assume his name was. And you're going to shoot an apple off his head.

Hey Billy, come outside.

Come on, Dad. I want to stay inside and... Oh wait, there's nothing in here. Yeah, I'll come out.

Come on over here. I have a great idea. Before you ask, I'm not drunk.

Dad, you look drunk and you smell drunk.

No, you need more evidence than that, my man. Not drunk? Just a fun dad.

There's all these empty bottles around here? This is how you sound?

There's all these empty bottles around here?

Whoa, that's a really good impression, Dad. I'm going to go back inside.

No, no, no, come over here. You're right, there's nothing in there. Come over here. Look at this. See, look at this? I got a bow and arrow. Okay. Welcome to the apple tree. Can I help you with something? Please take a fruit. Wait, wait, wait. Before you kill me, let me go down on one of you.

I would just love to give. You don't need to do anything to me.

Wow, Hey Riddle Riddle has ruined a lot and officially ruined the giving tree by implying it loves giving oral sex.

I hope his bark is worse than his bite. It's not.

I hope there's no bite at all. Anyways.

I don't know what to say about the bite of the bark. Is it because I'm a tree? You don't want it to get around that the tree went down on you?

I'm not going to stick my, you know what, in his moaning myrtle. Same.

Didn't get to shoot the air off your head.

Oh man, the premise. We were so close.

Just out of reach. Just like a branch in an apple tree. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with more of these nasty, nasty riddles. And just like my least favorite style of pin, we're back.

How dare you just eliminate back?

There's nothing wrong with a back.

I like a back. Just like my favorite Scientologist, we're back. Yep, that's good.

All right. More riddles?

Please.

Are you full of riddles? Please sir, may I solve some more?

One more sir, it's Christmas day.

We're going to do a few more. I said one more.

No more from him. Just a dessert riddle please.

You might try to wear me out or you might end up sharing neck and neck or maybe doubt. No winner I'm declaring.

Neck needle.

Neck needle.

Check it and see. I got a fever of 10 cc's.

You might try to wear my heart or you might end up sharing neck and neck or maybe doubt. No winner I'm declaring.

May end up sharing apps.

No.

Is it like a scarf? Is it something that goes around your neck?

Yeah, it's something you can wear out on your neck and then also no winter I'm declaring.

A noose, a tie, a bolo tie. A tie.

A tie. Like a tie in a tie.

It's a draw. Oh, so all of these riddles are those. They follow that same format.

Do you guys see I'm wearing a suit today? My tie is a real draw.

Blam. Alone I'm useless, I'll admit. No great weight can I shoulder. With millions of brothers and a path I sit, we're all a little bolder.

We're all a little bolder, Colorado.

A weak penis is not a weak penis, but it's surrounded by other weak penises. One Monday, Tuesday, happy days.

Wait, a weak penis surrounded by other weak penises, don't they just call that an improv team? Boing! Boing!

Boing!

Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! For full context these things are mostly white men.

Except for Big Spoon. Big Spoon is huge.

I don't want to talk about that, but Big Spoon isn't great. I don't want to talk about that. Bakespoon is a great improv team if you want to check them out. Don't tell them what we said.

They're very strong, very strong. They're all just large dudes. I would never comment about their members, although I would comment about Spencer and I, Becky. That guy's on Big Spoon and he's a real member, if you know what I'm saying. He's a member of that team. Are we still trying to solve this one?

I'm not.

Can you repeat the... Alone I'm useless, I'll admit. No great way. I'm just laughing at the penis thing. Okay, stop. Shut up. It's not funny. Alone I'm useless, I'll admit. No great way, can I shoulder. With millions of brothers and a path I sit, we're all a little bolder.

A twin? No. We're all a little bolder. Grains of sand. Grains of sand. Pebbles.

Oh, you're really on the right track.

Pebbles. Rocks. Rocks. Band.

They're all in a path.

What's a path? That's a bunch of little rocks. Oh, that trail in Boston. A freedom trail.

Gravel. Yeah. Gravel.

Wait. What's a gravel a homophone for?

Nothing. What are these? A couple of them have been homophones, but not all of them.

Erin, can I ask you real quick? What's the difference between gravel

Gravel and a gavel. Gravel is little stones. Gravel is when you're begging and begging. And gavel is when you're begging and begging for everyone to be quiet in the court. And you go bang, bang, bang with a little hammer.

And what's rabble, rabble?

Adal, what's rabble, rabble?

Robble Robble is, do you know Bob Bob? That's his full name. Okay, Robble Robble. Yeah, it's his full name. That made me crampus. And JVC, what's the difference between grimace, crampus, and a cramp?

A crampus is a Christmas movie, grimace is a crampus movie, a crampus is a crampus movie. And what's a grandpa movie? Dirty Grandpa. Sorry, Robert De Viro. And jumping up there.

Well, thank you, Philip. Say thank you, Philip. Thank you, Philip. Philip, we're going to read more of your riddles soon. I really like them.

Yeah, we're going to be like a car in line to get gas at Costco. More Philip.

So if you ever come to, nice, if you ever come to World News and you want to give us some riddles, please do. This is a letter that we got.

The way that I would like you to give me riddles at World News is put them on a bullet, shoot them into the gun directly into the back of my head.

For me, I want you to write them on a piece of paper, crumple them up and bounce them off my ass.

For me, I want you to put them into your head, sit across the bar, and stare them angrily at me.

Alright, we got this letter several weeks ago. I'm sorry, I haven't read it sooner. Dear Clue Crew, if you're reading this, it means we're dead. Or we came to your live show and worked up the courage to hand deliver some riddles. Honestly, the former is more likely. Anyway, here are some riddles that we think would be good for your warmups.

I'm doing them at the end. Isn't there a known thing we're not supposed to read a dead person's riddles?

Unless you're willing to solve their riddles. You're sort of a classic rhyme in public style, and some of them are pretty easy. Some of them are heartbreakers, and some of them are just dumb. Credit where credit is due, I got these from a pair of books called Riddle Rooms.

Should I skip right over those credits?

Thanks for the laughs. We love you and happy puzzling. Love, Caleb and Holly. And Caleb and Holly were so sweet when I met them.

Another thing about... Who was nicer? And Erin just folded the paper and put it away like we're not going to read it.

No, the riddles are on different pages.

Real quick, I'm sorry, we do have to legally give a shout out to the publisher, blah, blah, blah. If you are looking for great stories about elephants, please check out blah, blah, blah.

Adal, we're going to see a quick commercial now, we guess equal time. This is a commercial for a publisher.

Hi there. Are you looking for a new book? Then check out Bababa Publishing. You're gonna get a good book. That's Baba Yaga. Gonna get a book.

Guys, hold on. I just got the latest cut from this commercial. I gotta say, I love what you were doing, but... Honey, how was work today? I heard it was... Adam Sandler? Fuck this show. Yeah, I used to be on the fuck list.

This used to be my podcast.

A quick note about world news. I have always enjoyed meeting people after shows but everyone has been so nice and so respectful and fun to meet. I met a guy named Finn and his dad and they were really really nice to me.

From San Francisco? They were wonderful.

So nice. And then I met a guy who lives in St. Louis and him and his sister went last night and then I also a couple weeks ago there was this young woman who was there with her mom and they took a picture with me.

Young mom?

Yeah, I get, yeah. A very young, fun mom. Yes. They made, they just, I don't know. It made me very emotional to talk to them and they made me really, really happy. And thank you for coming to the show. It's really, really nice when you stay and say hello. It makes me feel really good. And I'm sorry we don't have more time to talk.

What I will say is holy hell, it's so nice to meet everyone like Erin said. One, world news is spelled W-H-I-R-L-D. I feel like so many people think it's W-O-R-L-D. So if you're ever looking for tickets, it's W-H. And then also if you're coming to the show, tweet us maybe and we'll know to look for you there. Because sometimes I know I've gone home and then people are like, we're here waiting. And I'm like, I'm so sorry.

Should we call the show World News? World News.

Yeah, it's hard. It's also like sometimes in between shows we only have like 20 minutes and sometimes we need to eat and stuff. So if we don't have a lot of time, we wish we had more time.

But let us know if you're going to be there just so we don't miss you.

Yeah, it's been truly like some of my favorite things ever have happened recently.

And bringing a gift doesn't hurt.

No.

And be prepared to answer some of my questions. How many cousins do you have? Where do they live? What states do they live in? Where are your cousins? Tell me the names of your cousins. Ages, heights of your cousins. Where are your cousins? Fair to cousins. Fair to cousins. Tell us where the cousins are.

We have ways of making you talk about your cousins. We have ways of making you cousins, Mr. Bond.

Keep going.

What are the names and nationalities of your cousins? Where are their ages? Where do they live? What do their houses look like? Do they have spouses?

Where are the spouses of your cousins? I want to see a scene. JVC, you're the same. I think you just did. No, I wanted to continue. We're going to go further down the story. This is the end of the movie. You're the same villain and you're doing that villain monologue where you talked about what your plan was and how you got away with it.

You'll never kill me. Kill you? I don't need to kill you because I've already done so much verse. What have you done?

Well, let me put it this way. Wait, where's my dad's brother's kid? Patrick Duffison? Yes. From Minnesota?

Yes, where's Patrick Duffison? He's at the bottom of a lake. That's right, Mr. Bond. I have systematically hunted down and killed every single one of your cousins, leaving you completely alone in this world in terms of cousins. You still have your parents and you still have, I guess, the children. Oh no, not your parents' brothers' children. They are dead cousins.

You have to tell me, please. What about my second cousins? Oh, fudge. I didn't think about the second cousins. Are you close with them? Yes, very. Closer than my first cousins.

Ah, damn it. Okay, second cousins. That's what's once removed. A second cousin is like a cousin's child? Is a second cousin?

Second cousin is like your parents' first cousins, right? Yeah. Yes. Wait. No. Who's that? This is my assistant. Oh no. That's my cousin. Your assistant is my cousin. Shh. Jennifer. Jennifer. You're Mr. Bond's cousin?

What have you done?

I mean, what have you done?

Do I kill her? The love of my life who I just proposed to? I know. Work relationship? Stupid.

What am I doing? What's your last name?

Just Bond. Fuck me.

We're brothers.

Wait, hold on.

I have to say

One of the first times, or maybe it was, I don't know, it was not one of the first times. It was one of the first times I had done mushrooms in Chicago. I was talking to someone who was talking about their cousins and, or I was like talking to someone, it was in a context of just like hanging out and someone mentioned their cousins. I was like, oh, like where are your cousins from? And I suddenly got very interested in like this person's cousins and then I just could not stop laughing because I had in my mind like some like World War II, like Germany, where they're trying to figure out where someone's cousins are.

Tell me about your cousins. I bet you know what I'm going to say next. Where are your cousins?

So you have a big family, lots of uncles. Christoph Waltz. If you listen, we have a movie to pitch to you.

It's not this. All right, we have to get some of these riddles. Ready?

We need two. I need them.

Closed yet still open, easiest to see with steam, but best when unseen.

Easiest to see with steam. Is that like a secret letter? Don't you open a letter with steam? Independent games?

Closed yet still open, easiest to see with steam, but best when unseen.

Yeah, independent games works. I just played Flower Defender for four minutes and I want my $1.99 back.

Open while still closed? What was it? Still open while closed?

Closed yet still open.

Close yet still open. That's gotta be a $7.11.

Easiest to see with steam, but best when unseen.

Easy to see with steam. So what can you see with steam? Like writing on the shower glass? Glasses?

I think glass. Glass. Oh, uh, uh, M. Night Shyamalan.

No, best one on scene. M. Night Shyamalan. M. Night Shyamalan. Still works. Still works. Still works.

He did make one of them.

Fuck me. That's not the words. What were we closest with?

It's yours still. Glass or mirror, but best when unseen. It's clean if you can see through it.

Glass. If you can see through it, my skin. Car window. If you can see. Window, window, window on the wall.

Easiest to see with steam.

Cool, right? Very cool.

No door, no roof. This home aloof. Mother sits in the house. She knits. Children inside, they'll all abide. They don't walk out, but there's none about when winter comes. That's my beautiful poem. Did you like my beautiful poem?

Wow, okay. No door. No door, no roof. No roof.

This home, aloof. Mother sits in the house she knits. Children inside, they'll all abide.

Is it like a Russian?

They don't walk out.

Russian nesting goal?

But there's none about when winter comes. No.

None about when winter comes. That's got to be like a bird. Are these like, yeah, animal? Is it an animal? Squirrels, birds? Where do they live? Bears. They live in the north. No. Tropical rain?

Nest. Nest. It's a nest. A bird's nest. Nest. It's a Google nest. We will read more of these.

Hey Google, set my temperature to 75 degrees. I will not listen to you. JPC. No, one of these days someone's going to be listening to this in their house and I'll like fuck with their Google assistant. I know. Hey Alexa, order 100 honeybees.

I want to read more of these later, but for now I want to see a scene. GPC, you and I are birds, baby birds, and we just came out of our shells, and Adal, you're really pushing us to fly out of the nest as our mom, maybe a little sooner than we want to.

Am I also a bird?

You're also a bird.

Yeah, I just need to know. Here we go, and flying out the nest, my two little kids have to fly, fly, fly.

I don't think my wings are developed yet, Mom.

Hey Riddle Riddle. Also, I see, I often see a lot of like dead birds on the ground and like I just am like trying not to be that bird mom.

Dead dead birds are nothing we should fear. Everybody dies, that is nature's way.

Shouldn't it rhyme?

I don't want to die from just walking out of this fine nest. I want to fly. I want to wait till I know that I can fly.

I want to fly. I want to be a bird in the sky and I want to see my destiny unveiled for me. Lynel Moretta can't stand with me.

I want to have the confidence.

We should start a band. Why?

And on that note, let's go to a little segment I like to call... What?

No.

The? No.

San... Wait, hold on. Let's go. Sanguine. Sanguine sandwich.

We're going to the sandwich with Sandy.

Hey, we're gonna want you to grab your passports.

Yeah, I have mine. I always carry mine on.

Because we're going to go to a little international playground called the Sandbox. The Sandbox?

Ooh. I don't have a passport, but I have a copy of a copy of my license from when I was 16.

And you have a beret.

And a beret. So probably I'm OK.

You're fine? Oui oui. And I mean, I just went oui oui in the Sandbox. OK. And thank you so much for your time, Sandy. We'll see you in two years.

I'm going to go ahead and clean this stuff up. Luckily it's more of a litter box really at this point.

And Sandy, just to be clear, we're upset because that's the best joke that's been on this episode. I apologize. Just patch that in with your voice later.

Sandy, what's up?

Sandy, hey, how you doing? What do you got for us? What's going on? Well, I guess this is like a puzzle. Do you want to do a puzzle?

No, but we're contractually obligated to do.

We asked you to bring something in. I didn't even want to be in a Riddle podcast, so whatever. We're in thought a long time before she answered that question. Yeah.

No one's ever asked us if we want, why would what we want matter? All right, here's the puzzle.

I'm going to give you a couple of words that belong in different categories like the word cheddar and the word poodle. Your job is to figure out what the categories are. Terms for money. Okay. Types of skirt. You remember Erin's always wearing a cheddar skirt?

Just so you know, I will be saying that word belongs in a museum several times.

Your job is to figure out the categories that they belong to, and then what word exists in both categories. So for those two words, cheddar is a cheese, poodle is a dog, and there is a word that is both a cheese and a dog, and that word is chihuahua. A gouda boy.

Oh.

Oh, Sandy, you brilliant man. Does a gouda boy work too?

Wait.

Who's a gouda boy?

Okay, hold on. Wait, can you explain that one more time?

Sure. So I'm going to give you words like cheddar and poodle. And your job is to say, okay cheddar's a cheese, poodle's a dog. What word is both a cheese and a dog? What's the Venn diagram? That's right. Okay, okay. Does that make sense?

I might not be good at this, but I'm excited to try.

I'm thirsty for your brain.

Is that what that straw is for? Okay. So, puzzle one. The two words are united and alpha. That is an airline. Alpha is a Greek letter. So airline. Delta.

That is right.

It is Delta. Great.

Good job, JPC.

I'm really proud of you. I was going to say Jeff Liu. Ah, the Alpha.

I was going to say Air France, but I'm not bragging.

The Alpha, the Omega, the Jet Blue. Okay, next one. Thousand Island. Ranch. Addressing. Spanish. Language. Spanish is language. Dressing language. French. French? It is another answer, too? No, it's not. Yes, there is. Vinaigrette. French is right. Addressing and a language. Canadian sauce.

Uh, okay. Dressing in a language. Oh, French.

Is it a language? Oh, we can stop it French if you're satisfied. No, no, no, no. We want to get this second language. Greek. Greek. The other one is Russian. All right. Stick with that topic. Thousand Island and duplex. Dressing a house.

I would never ever live in a ranch style house, mostly because I don't know what it is. It's just one floor. One floor?

Yeah, it's just one floor.

I want a cape style house.

Well, actually ranch, the full definition is one floor in a horse.

Mmm. What if you're married to the horse? We'll talk off air.

I feel like I'm being called that, but read my blog.

That should be a sitcom. What if you're married to the horse? All right, we got Mash and Lahaim. TV shows and Jewish. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. TV shows. It could be potatoes.

Hell and all that.

Is it, is it TV or potatoes? Mash. It's types of monsters. It's TV shows. TV shows. And is it Yiddish? Lahaim is like a cheers. Cheers. There you go. Cheers. You can see what's toast with. Cheers. All right. We got Harvard and purple. College and colors. College colors. Brown.

You sure you got that? Period.

Beyonce. Beyonce is a singer, artist. It's an artist. It's a very specific, yes, it's not a singer necessarily, it's a musical artist with some other qualities. And then the other one was question.

It's an artist with another quality to it.

Prince. So Prince would be in the same category. I could have said Prince instead of Beyonce. One name celebrities. One name musicians. And then question mark.

And punctuation. One name celebrities and punctuation.

Common. Common. Common. Yeah, it's common.

And I picked question mark because it's actually the closest punctuation.

Ringo. Claws.

Ringo, by the way, is my favorite Japanese horror movie. It's a one-named musician. Okay. Who is also a... Punctuation Mark? Punctuation Mark. Madonna. Drake. Oh, Drake. He's not around so much anymore, but he was huge in the 80s. Who's huge in the what? 80s, but think about your punctuation. Close to the question mark on the keyboard. Close to the question mark. The closest. Close to the question mark. Oh, Colin. Colin Powell. Ampersand, at sign.

Glamdring is... Glamdring is a drink of food.

Is it an item? It's an item. It's a sword. It is. It's a sword. And a musical artist would be Dagger, Mick Dagger. Mick Dagger. What?

It is a sword, right?

It's a sword from Lord of the Rings. That's the category. So what other ones are there? Oh, uh, uh, Stabby. What's the one? Needle. Needle. No, no, no. That's the little one, the stab thing.

The one where the girl goes, the woman goes, I am no man.

No, that's a different sort. No, no. Something near it shines. That's right. It's the one that's got a... There you go. Who sort is Glem Drang? Gandalf. Nice. I had to look it up. I don't know.

Or I guess you could say, yeah, it's a topping. Bobby? Bobby's a Howie Mandel. Bobby's World. Damn it. I think this one's a little weak because one is plural and one's singular when they both should really be plural. But what's a topping that's a first name?

And who made this one, Sandy?

His son.

Sandy, these were awesome. Thank you so much. This is wonderful. Thank you so much. Anything you want to plug? Yeah, yeah, for sure. So in, I don't know when this is coming out, or I thought you were going to say in, what's Philadelphia? Ah, I'm born and raised.

Let's just assume Sandy, but based on how it went, it won't come out. We don't know either probably sometime in the new year.

So then by now the Last Defender is back in play in Chicago. So the house theater has opened up an escapes outpost in the basement of the Chicago Board Game Cafe which is just open and the Last Defender is in there and a new game called Nova to Loadstar that I helped design as well. That's another escape room game? Yeah, I mean, to call it an escape room is really not doing it justice. It's quite different. It's an interactive game, theatrical event. It's really cool.

I can't wait. Yeah, if you're in Chicago, you have to check that out. That is amazing.
