Erin
This is a Headgum podcast.
JPC
Hey Riddle Riddle is the name of this podcast, and we're going to be doing a live show of this podcast in Los Angeles, Sunday, May 17th at 7pm at Dynasty Typewriter. If you want to go to the show, you should buy tickets headgum.com slash live. And if we sell out all of the early show, we may be adding a secret late show. And you know we get dirty at the late show. We don't actually get dirty at the late show. Bring your kids. 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 icicle. And the horse was riding.
???
You're never gonna dance again. Goody feet have got no rhythm. Let me teach you to pretend. I love you and I love you.
00:01:12
Erin
Hey guys, it just came in. What are we doing?
Adal
Nothing.
???
Close the door. Close the door. We're making love in here.
JPC
We're just two guys making love in here. Close the door. Close the door.
Erin
I'll close the improv door.
JPC
We were singing our little potato song.
Erin
Were you doing it in the Swedish chef voice?
JPC
It's almost like Benny and June, but we make the potatoes kiss. It's almost like Harold and Maude, except we make the potatoes kiss.
Erin
Well, hello.
JPC
Well, hello.
Erin
What's up?
JPC
Hello and welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle, a podcast and three parts. About potato kissing. The first part is insanity. The second part, we get our shit together and we do the real show. The third part is plugs.
Adal
I'm Adal Rifai. I'm JPC.
Erin
And I'm Erin Keif. And the insanity, the getting your shit together and the plugs.
Adal
Yeah, and you're all r idiots. Why did you point to my hair when you said plugs?
Erin
I pointed to you for all three.
Adal
We like that, right? We like calling our audience members or listeners ridiots. Yeah, they love it too. Good.
JPC
Great. It's official. You're ridiots. Well, technically you can only be a ridiot if you go on to patreon.com slash HeyRiddleRiddle and give us $1 a month. And then you get to be a ridiot and you get to read our newsletter.
00:02:17
Adal
Yeah, and then you can get the tattoo, enter the secret society, learn the dance.
JPC
Hey, people have HeyRiddleRiddle tattoos and it is wild. It's very wild.
Erin
I have a question. Can we come up for names of fans who are not really fans, but they're partners or spouses are, so they're forced to listen to us in the car.
Adal
Future divorcees. Widowers.
Erin
Patient. There are patients.
JPC
Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is listening to 180 hours of a podcast that makes absolutely no fucking sense.
Erin
Hey. Hey. My memory keeps resetting.
Adal
Erin, moments ago, you were a goldfish.
Erin
Yeah. Well, it all got the snack that smiles back, baby. Wow.
Adal
Wow. Is that what you say during sex?
Erin
Well, I've never been that smooth.
JPC
If I call someone a snack that smiles back, I get fucking cancelled, but then we can go around telling it about ourselves.
Erin
Erin, you're a fucking snack who smiles back. Smile for me. Okay, so I have a story for you.
00:03:28
Adal
I'm gonna get you this sleeping bag. Should we get around the fireplace?
Erin
You might have noticed I wasn't at World News last night.
Adal
Uh, no. Great show. No.
Erin
No, you were there.
???
It was fun.
Adal
Oh, can I say I had one of my favorite, maybe my favorite moment of the last year, which is I played a pirate and I was talking, I was trying to make a withdrawal at a bank and Rob asked me what I do and I said, I'm in sales, which I thought was very funny as a pirate.
Erin
Pretty good.
Adal
That's not the funny part. And then I said, how'd you get this job? And he goes, oh, I got, my dad worked here, so I'm a bit of a legacy. And I go, Legacy. Oh, is this because of my leg? Because I lost my leg at sea?
Erin
Did the audience stand up?
JPC
Crickets. Absolute crickets. Really?
Erin
No.
JPC
They did love it. And it was very cool because it was very like unplanned for Rob to say that and for him to have, and Adal earlier in the show had lost his leg at sea as that pirate.
Adal
But I focused on leg and then as I said, legacy, I was like, oh shit, that's legacy. And it was very satisfying.
Erin
That's a real snack that smiles back moment.
00:04:30
Adal
Absolutely. So finish your story.
Erin
So I had a lot of Hey Riddle Riddle fans message me yesterday saying they're at World News and that I wasn't there. And so I was like, oh, what a bummer.
Adal
But I was at- So anytime you're not there, uh, Ridditz will message you and say, you're not here? Yeah, basically. What a fucking treat. Wow, that's truly the snack that smiles back.
Erin
I was at- Hey Riddle.
JPC
And then Harrison just acted as a mime for weeks.
Erin
He was stuck.
JPC
He was stuck in it.
Erin
So, I'm at this charity event in the suburbs. It's a real small-town vibe. Small-town vibe. I'm so tired. I'm eating Sean's pediatrician. Small-town vibe.
Adal
I'm eating all of his friend's parents. You're eating Sean's pediatrician?
Erin
I'm eating them.
Adal
What a real small town vibe. Can I say Small Town Vibe is the name of my Twin Peaks vibrator?
00:05:34
Erin
Ew. So I'm just drinking my sangria, minding my own business, and this woman comes up to me, and the first thing she says is, I don't know who you are, but what's your name? And I was like, what? And she was like, I don't know who you are, but what's your name? And I was like, my name's Erin, and then she said, are you on a podcast? And I said, yes. And she said, I have two friends. They're introverts. They're very shy, and they think they recognize you, but they're really unsure that it's you because why would you be here? At this charity event. And why would you be looking so sad if you're so successful?
JPC
Why are you drinking sangria and eating a pediatrician?
Erin
Drinking sangria, putting 10 tickets in one of the raffle baskets. Should I try to win it?
Adal
I don't know who you are. What's your name? Okay, you have sangria all over down your dress. I don't know who you are, but I have a very particular set of skills.
JPC
It's helping women covered in sangria.
Erin
But I met two Hey Riddle Riddle, they were also Magic Tavern fans, Hey Riddle Riddle fans at this charity event in the suburbs in a state that I'm not even from. And they live in Joliet. They have three kids. And I was so confused. And I was like, I don't think they're going to believe they're a couple. Yeah.
00:06:40
JPC
Oh, okay. Wow. Interesting.
Erin
Yeah. And they, I was like, I'm going to tell GBC and Adal, I met you guys, but I, of all the places to meet fans, that is the craziest place.
Adal
I will, a lot of times, I will be at like the grocery store and I'll be like looking at the, I don't know, fucking dried pasta. And I'll hear from behind me, somebody be like, um, baby don't know. And I'm like, sorry. And they're like, baby don't know. And I'm like, okay, man. And they're like, Hey Adal! And I'm like, oh did we go to school together? And they're like, no.
Erin
Why would I say baby don't know?
Adal
Yeah, but I'm just like, just say hi, like just introduce yourself.
Erin
But I've been like... You famously don't remember any of your quotes and catchphrases.
Adal
I don't remember any of my quotes. But my favorite one was, I've gotten recognized a little bit like around the country, but I was in Times Square with my sister and a woman ran up and goes, throwing your hat in the air and spinning around. I was like, oh shit this isn't Minnesota. Milwaukee. Shit. Fuck. But I was in Times Square with my sister and a woman ran up and goes, I'm so sorry, this is gonna be the craziest question if I'm wrong. But are you Chant the Badger? And I stopped dead and I go, what? And she goes, I am so sorry. And I go, I totally go.
00:07:45
Erin
That's amazing.
JPC
I was at a Starbucks the other week and I said, are you on a podcast? To the guy who was working there. And he was like, uh, no. And I was like, that's right. I'm on a fucking podcast. Remember this voice. I threw my coffee at him.
Erin
It was one of the funniest places to see. I was like, hi. That's wonderful. It also, that's only ever happened to me in front of my boyfriend's parents.
JPC
That's cool.
Erin
They're beginning to think that I'm paying these people to say these things.
JPC
Can I ask, that's where a significant amount of the Patreon goes, is to pay people at Erin's Life to prop her up. What was the charity?
Erin
What was the charity? It is called HUGS. Give them a plug.
JPC
Plug them with HUGS.
Erin
And actually, if anyone wants any information about donating to it, they do a lot of really good work. It feels like sort of a local make-a-wish, but they do lots of different things.
JPC
Interesting. And you can donate directly at BernieSanders.com.
Adal
I will say, I don't know how you two feel. I will say, if you ever see me in public and you recognize me, please say something. I was at an antique store in, like, Anawan, Illinois, or somewhere around Galva, Illinois, with my mom, and we were just hanging out shopping for antiques like we do, and somebody tweeted, like, an hour later, like, I saw you at the antique shop, I was so nervous to say hi, but I, you know, I recognize you, and I'm like, you would have made me an absolute star in front of my mom, so please, if you recognize me, say something, even if you just throw a bagel at me or something, like, just please make me look cool.
00:09:16
Erin
Throw a bagel at me?
Adal
I can't do it on my own, I need your help.
JPC
Before Mariah and I were dating, we used to work together. We were on a work trip together. Oh, unprofessional. Very unprofessional. We weren't, like I said, we were not dating on this one.
Erin
Nothing happened, work trip.
JPC
Well, we fucked and, you know... Oh, never mind. No, nothing happened. It was a work trip. And it was, again, like I said, before we were dating. We were on a break. We were on a break. And I was doing this presentation for these commercial real estate brokers. And my computer wouldn't work. And someone at the hotel that we were at gave me an AV cable or whatever to plug in my computer. And then we were sitting in the airport hours later. And I got a direct message on Twitter from someone who was like, this is going to sound weird, but are you in New Mexico at this conference? And I was like, yeah. And they were like, I'm the AV guy that gave you a cable. And then I was in the back of the room. And then I heard that you were JPC. And I was like, yeah. How many JPCs can there be? And I was like, and I was like, you're that... I thought it was planned 100,000 by Monday. First of all, my clones can't spawn that fast. Yes, they can. They're mostly just common legs at this point. You asked! You asked!
00:10:21
Erin
You were mostly just common legs.
Adal
Come and legs. I fell in love with you. Come and legs.
Erin
I'm so sorry.
JPC
But Mariah did think it was very cool that there was just a random person in New Mexico who was like, you're that person.
Erin
And then she said like, wow, I'm beginning to see you differently.
JPC
And then... My best friend is... She's beauty and you're the beast. And now she's helping me build my common legs.
Erin
What are they capable of?
Adal
Just like the Empire. Wasn't Boba Fett famously just common legs? It's true. What are they capable of, Erin? They can't be stopped. So this has been 10 and a half minutes of madness. Let's get into the conceit of the show. This is a professional podcast where we do puzzles and rules. This is a professional podcast. So I am Old Man Pueblos and we are going to start off with, I enjoyed doing these last time. These are what I called last time hink pinks. What I've now learned, and I'm so problematic, a little bit, what I've now learned, they were actually invented by 20th century humorous George S. Kaufman, and the real name of them is Stinky Pinkies. Can't get worse, but it seems to be.
00:11:32
Erin
I'm so sorry, but I need to see a scene. Adal, you're George S. Kaufman. You're at this gentleman's club and we're all sitting around on leather chairs smoking cigars and you're telling us about this new thing you've created, but no one can giggle anytime you say the name of what it is.
JPC
That's how I invented the washing machine. A good machine, a good machine. Very good.
Adal
Yes, of course. Yes, very good. What did you, have you invented anything? Bourbon. Oh, you, oh. Leather. Oh.
Erin
And talking down to women.
Adal
Wow. Wow. Marcus Kentucky, you've done it again. Quite an accomplice. And Daniel Whirlpool, I want to not sneeze at what you invented, that's pretty cool. Yeah, washing machine and also hot tubs.
Erin
And telling women to smile.
Adal
And forcing women to smile. With my great personality. And clean wash. They say, you know, in the inventing business, ABC, always be clothing.
Erin
Well keep your chin up Harry, you haven't invented anything yet.
Adal
You'll invent something and be mean to women.
00:12:34
Erin
Actually,
Adal
Actually, I have invented something, and it is demeaning to women.
Erin
Okay, that's very cute. That's very cute. Of course you have. Of course you have. Very, very sweet, Erin. You definitely have.
Adal
I invented it right now. Go ahead and smell my finger. Oh boy, how does it know to the... Is there... Oh, I think you just invented Hamilton. Say that again.
JPC
I couldn't possibly.
Erin
You want us to smell your finger.
JPC
Is there cocaine on it? There was. There's residue for sure.
Erin
We did it at the same time.
JPC
We almost kissed. But we never would because of our homo eroticism. Keeping that alive and well.
Adal
The reason I want you to smell my fingers is because I invented something that I call the stinky pinky. Okay, yes, now I did notice that that smelled awful.
Erin
The what?
Adal
I called it the Stinky Pinky. Now what it is is two words that rhyme, that... Sure.
Erin
We all went to the same inventor school. We have successful inventors, and you invented the Stinky Pinky?
00:13:35
Adal
Yes, so let's say that I have one of my digits on my hand that overstays its welcome at a party. That might be called a... Stinky Pinky. A linger finger. Do a few more. A few more? Okay. What if I had a puppy who lived inside a bayou or swamp? That might be called a... A dog. A muddy dog.
Erin
What is it?
Adal
It's a stinky pinky.
Erin
Okay, I have one.
Adal
Or a bog dog.
Erin
What if you clean a window with only one finger?
Adal
Okay, you'd be Windex? Index.
Erin
Yes.
Adal
Wait, did you just invent Windex?
Erin
Yes, I did.
JPC
Ah, the world will surely be a better place, but I'm dead.
Erin
A bunch of crows will fly into doors now because of my Windex.
Adal
A bunch of crows will fly into doors because of Windos?
Erin
Isn't that Windex?
Adal
So you're gonna put Windex on doors?
Erin
Clear glass doors! Don't you remember those ads? Don't you remember those ads? But don't you remember those ads? No! Those crows who are like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna try flying in the house! Because there's clearly no door there. You're like, don't do it, Larry. Don't do it, Larry. Remember what happened last time? You almost died. And he's like, I'm going to do it. And he goes and flies right into the door.
00:14:59
JPC
You're not going to trick me into Googling your hungry Howie's pizza commercial. Oh my God.
Adal
Ever heard of me? We get it. It aired during the Super Bowl.
Erin
You guys in a couple of different states. I'm big time now.
Adal
South and North Dakota.
Erin
People are calling me like just equal part. It was like J.Lo, Shakira. Erin, I'm not Adal Rifai, Erin.
Adal
She's bigger than Catherine of Virginia. Look at the damn sojournee from the block. Okay, I'm ready to do these. All right, so here's some stinky pinkies.
JPC
So we get the premise because that scene expertly explained it.
Adal
Yep, so it's gonna be two words that rhyme. You have to figure out what the answer is from the sort of definition. Number one, Mrs. Onassis's tan pants. Ooh, it's hard to say Mrs. Onassis's. Cows are trousers. Mrs. Onassis's tan pants. Tan pants.
Erin
Jacky slackies. Jackie slacks.
Adal
Jack slacks.
Erin
Jackie khakis.
Adal
Jackie khakis.
Erin
Jackie Cackie. Hi, my name is Jackie Cackie.
JPC
I need to see a commercial.
00:15:59
Erin
I've never felt more valued than I do right now.
JPC
This is a car dealership, but you don't sell cars, you sell car keys. And it's Jackie's Car Keys. It's a Boston car dealer. I can't stress this enough. There are no cars on this dealership.
Erin
Hey, welcome back to Jackie's Cackeys. We have the size lot of a car place, but we always sell cackeys.
JPC
Okay Jackie, we need that cleaner. Can you take that again?
Erin
Oh, of course. Here I go. All right. Welcome to Jackie's Cackeys. I'm Jackie's Cackeys herself. Our car lot is like this car. It's the kind of car lot that has cars on it, but we have no cars in sight.
JPC
Okay, Jackie, Jackie, we got to take that again. You said that your name was Jackie's Car Keys. Okay, it's actually the end of the business.
Adal
Okay. And this business goes under. Jackie, you spend a few years living with your parents and then you have a new idea. You're going to start selling fat bees. So this is the first commercial for Jackie's Fat Bees.
Erin
Hi, I'm Jackie's Cackeys and I sell fat bees. My Cackeys commercial went under. I tried selling Cackeys after that, but after that, it's fat bees. Okay, Jackie, we have to stop.
00:17:02
Adal
What's up? I just didn't like the take.
Erin
Okay. Oh God, I'm spiraling. All right. Oh God, that put me in my head.
Adal
Oh, that's a tight spiral. You should play football.
Erin
Holy shit. We cut to me. Playing football.
Adal
What did we do?
Erin
Hi, I'm Jackie's Cackeys. I'm about to throw the football behind me. I'm the one who throws it under my butt and up.
Adal
You know how a center throws the ball under their butt and up?
Erin
Am I wrong?
Adal
They throw it under their button up.
Erin
From now on when you're watching football, remember what I said everybody.
JPC
Under your button up. Well that sucks Erin because this is gonna come out after the Super Bowl so people aren't gonna be able to watch football for like another year I guess.
Erin
Google it.
Adal
That's what JPC tells dates that he's going to where he's gonna put his penis and then what Pixar movie they're gonna watch. Google it. Under their button up. Wait a minute, that was funny. Hey Adal, that was another pirate moment.
Erin
I don't want you to brush by it.
Adal
Thank you. I lost my leg at sea. Number two, an introverted insect. An errand worm.
00:18:10
Erin
An errand worm?
JPC
An errand worm.
Erin
My worm's insect.
JPC
No, but I did get air and worms one summer in college. It was one of the worst experiences of my life.
Erin
Oh, you just watched a bunch of Dawson's Creek in your bed alone and cried?
JPC
I sat in a Dawson's Creek and I got air and worms in my butt. Shy fly.
Adal
It is a shy fly. Hell yeah. I want to see a scene. This is going to be a shy fly, Erin, you're going to be an air and worm, and the two of you are at a party for a mutual friend's birthday.
Erin
I've never really seen you out before.
JPC
You know, I actually come to a lot of these parties, but I'm kind of just like a wall fly. Yeah.
Erin
Well, do you want to see my party trick?
JPC
Oh, I'm with someone.
Erin
Oh, no, no. It's like sort of just like a funny, like, whole thing I can do.
JPC
Oh, okay, yes. I'm sorry.
Erin
I thought you were picking. Don't be scared. I'm just gonna split my body in half because I have two hearts and then slither in way in two different directions.
JPC
Could you please not? Because I only have like four more hours to live and I don't really want this to be the last fucked up thing I see. Is that okay?
00:19:11
Erin
I don't really know if it's fucked up. It's kind of natural. It's like sort of just in case anyone steps on me.
JPC
Can we reset? Would you like some poop? I'm gonna have poop.
Adal
Hey babe, who are you talking to? This is Brett. Hey, oh shit! Welcome to Earth, right? Welcome to Earth. Brett, this is Jim. Yeah, you're an Earth worm, right? Yeah, that's it. Welcome to Earth.
Erin
Do you want to see me split into two because I have two hearts?
Adal
Is this a sex thing? Don't you fuck yourself?
Erin
Oh, like, oh... I have to go home.
Adal
We're gonna need more poop. No, I'm gonna go home. We're gonna need a bigger poop.
Erin
Would you kiss you if there were two of you for a day? Do you think you'd kiss you?
JPC
No. What the fuck? Yes, you would. If there was a clone of you, you wouldn't kiss him. Why? Well, if it's coming legs.
Erin
I'm so embarrassed.
JPC
What do you mean? Yes, you would. I'm not. I'm trying. Adal's being very incredulous that he would not kiss his clone.
Erin
It's a normal thing.
Adal
It's a normal thing to kiss your clone. So Erin, the minute you saw a clone yourself, you would run up and kiss it? Normalize kissing your clone.
00:20:13
Erin
First things first, I smell it.
JPC
Don't keep in shame.
Erin
First things first, I smell it.
JPC
You smell your clone.
Erin
I smell my clone.
JPC
You would smell your clone knowing full well what you smell like.
Erin
I don't know what I smell like. Do you know that my sense of smell is pretty bad? Because I put too much as I can on my nose.
Adal
From being around you, I do know that. Are you serious?
Erin
Yeah, yeah. So if I smell bad, guys know it's because I don't know.
Adal
And Zicam is like a kiss cam?
Erin
Yep.
Adal
Let's put her up on the Zicam!
Erin
I also want to see what my side profile looks like. I want to give myself a back massage.
Adal
What is happening?
Erin
I want to give myself a sweet kiss.
Adal
I'm not going to have sex with me. What fucking leaps are these?
Erin
There are 100,000 people who are listening to this who agree with me.
Adal
The minute you meet your clone, you make them go to work for you, or you have them horse around the horse. No, you give them a massage and you give them a little pound. I have so many horse tours I need to get done. I defy you that they'd be fine horse tours. I'm a horse keeper. Okay, look at it in the mouth. You're telling me that if you you don't have like a list of things that you would do with your clone if you if you had like your clone for a day you and your clone for a day?
00:21:30
JPC
You wouldn't like both jerk off and go first. What? What is this?
Erin
I want Casey, can you play this? I want to see a scene. Casey is going to play some montage music under this and we're just going to see a day of you with your clone who sounds just like you and all the things, the misadventures you two get up to.
JPC
Are we going to be playing his clone?
Erin
No, we'll just be us.
Adal
He'll be his clone.
Erin
So it's an Adal scene with Adal.
JPC
I'm really hoping I can do my Adal impression.
Adal
So it's me with my own clone. Great. Real bump set situation.
Erin
Unless you want JPC to be your clone.
JPC
I'll be your clone. Okay, hold on.
Erin
You gotta do your Adal impression.
JPC
No, before we start, can you just give me some base Adal so I can slip into the impression? Hi, this is Adal. No, but do it in your fucked up goofy way that you do. Ooh, this is Adal. I'm talking in the microphone. Okay, I can do it. Everyone who listens to this podcast say we sound exactly the same anyway. That sounded look very similar.
Adal
Oh, good morning, Adal. Oh, good morning, Adal. Ooh, nasty little boy. Ooh, time to slather up some pancakes, huh? Mmm, get the nasty pancakes. Ooh, yeah, kiss my dick. Oh, good morning, good morning, Adal. We just woke up again, Adal. Mmm. Ooh, that was a good little nap. Can I see you from the side? Ooh. And now the back. Okay. And now in front of a car. Good morning, Adal. Good morning, Adal. What do you remember from yesterday? Um, we did side profiles. Smack! We're gonna do smack.
00:22:52
???
Ooh, let's shoot up. You're my best friend.
Adal
Good morning, Adal. Good morning, Adal. I don't feel like going to the Hey Riddle Riddle recording. Yeah, me neither. What? Oh, we're both sick of this podcast? Everyone is. Really? Yes. Is it because it takes about 40 minutes to get into three riddles? No, it's because JPC's cum clones kind of ruined the whole
Erin
Good morning, Erin. Another back massage and a little kiss? Don't mind if I do!
Adal
Erin's in there alone. Should we say something? Oh, fuck you.
Erin
No, I walked right into that. I'm a snack that smiles back. I'm a snack that smiles back.
Adal
I'm a snack that smiles back. I couldn't stop thinking of the... I was distracted that entire time because I couldn't stop thinking of the... Do you remember the old commercials for Fig Newtons?
JPC
Oh yes.
Adal
It's something along the lines of like, a cookie's just a cookie, but Fig Newton's fruit and cake. But I couldn't stop thinking of like, a cookie's just a cookie, but a clone is coming leg. Your brain is truly broken.
00:23:59
Erin
How are you sick of this podcast?
Adal
Oh, I'm definitely not. Can you give us more of these fucking riddles then? Yeah, here we go. Some more stinky-pinkies. This is a parsimonious wool producer.
JPC
Persemonious wool producer. A damn lamb. A what? A damn lab. A damn lamb. Damn lamb.
Adal
What to do with that?
Erin
A damn lamb.
Adal
A damn blimp. Do you think lambs produce wool? A deep sheep. Oh, you're getting close. A... Deep sheep is something they do in Wales. I'm so sorry Welsh listeners.
Erin
I really like the Welsh accent.
Adal
All I know is Katherine Zeta Jones and Tom Jones. All the Joneses are from Wales. Do we know any other Welsh?
Erin
A lot of people on Love Island.
Adal
Oh, they have that Welsh grape juice. Yes, they do. Yes, they do.
JPC
So is sheep right? Sheep is right. So what do we think parsimonious means? Parsimonious, oh boy. This is a fucking college word.
00:25:01
Erin
Deep. A deep sheep.
Adal
That's what Jeeps guessed. Fell into a very deep sheep.
Erin
A beep-sheep.
Adal
A jeep-sheep? A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep.
???
A jeep-sheep.
Adal
A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep.
JPC
A jeep-sheep.
Adal
A jeep-sheep.
JPC
A jeep-sheep.
???
A jeep-sheep.
Adal
A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. A jeep-sheep. You're a drunk dog? I refuse to. I refuse to. You know why I refuse to acknowledge it? Because I'm Adal's clone. He's at home in bed and I'm here and I mostly come in legs.
Erin
I'm so sorry. I really really I really want a t-shirt that says anebriated zebra. And it's just a zebra drinking a martini. Please guys, please.
Adal
Absolutely not.
00:26:01
Erin
No a zebra drinking a Bloody Mary.
JPC
Can it just say I've been zebriated and have a drunk zebra on it?
Erin
Anebriated zebriated.
JPC
Uh, we got it.
Adal
So we're moving on and we're canceling the podcast. Um, I want to see a scene. Okay. Japes, you're a drunk dog and, uh, Erin, you're the bartender trying to cut him off. Run more.
Erin
Ah.
Adal
Run more.
Erin
Closing time.
JPC
You don't have to, you can't- Closing time. One last time for Ask a Mom. Come on, hey.
Erin
You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. I'm sorry, I'm just a cat sitting at the bar. Did he say one more or rum more?
JPC
Technically, if it's just rum more, you have to give it to me because it's part of my existing drink.
Erin
You guys, you've been making eyes at each other the whole night. It's time to decide to go home together or kiss on the sidewalk or something, but you just can't continue to flirt in here.
JPC
What? We can't. Is it will they want their situation?
Erin
I don't want to go home with him. He's a bad boy.
JPC
Yeah, I don't want to go home with him. Bad boy. He's a pretty goody two-shoes.
Erin
Look, my pussy. Okay, I don't get paid enough for this. Also, you're animals.
00:27:02
JPC
Maybe let's have a little catnip.
???
Excuse me, I'm an inebriated zebriated.
Erin
Sorry guys, I don't know if you, this is my boyfriend. He comes and I give him free drinks for the last couple hours of my shift.
Adal
He comes and you give him free drinks?
Erin
He comes here.
Adal
I gotta get that deal. But he doesn't, he doesn't get you?
Erin
I come and he gets free drinks.
Adal
That should be the t-shirt. Can I get you guys an Uber? Do we know any braided animal that emits a bad smell? Drunk. Skunk.
Erin
Drunk skunk.
Adal
That's it. Former President Clinton's medicine. Um, hmm, intern ass.
JPC
No, no, no, no. No, that's true.
Erin
No.
JPC
No, he was a sex criminal.
Adal
Intern, intern. Former President Clinton's medicine.
Erin
We're on her side for that.
Adal
Bills, pills. That's right. How about a blouse made of soil? This is something Erin might wear. From dress barn. A blouse made of soil?
Erin
I would love to be the dress barn spokesperson.
JPC
All right, Erin. You got your moment of... This is Jackie's Dress Barn.
00:28:05
Erin
Hi, I'm Jackie's Cockies, and I'm here at Dress Barn. Do you want to wear this kind of dress? It has a blue print with a little bit of flowers. Over here, there's another kind of dress. It's the sort of dress your aunt would wear at a wedding. I'm here with several aunts here at Dress Barn. They're buying their nieces homecoming dresses and themselves dresses for daily life.
JPC
Adal, Erin's been there for like an hour. Should we say something? Can you do the Swedish chef doing closing time?
???
Casey got up and left. He just shoraded, fuck this place? No, no, Vito. Oh, a dirt shirt. What was it? Dirt shirt. It is dirt shirt.
00:29:11
Erin
How about a particular looking goatee? I'm sorry, a peculiar looking goatee. A weird beard. That's a weird beard.
???
Erin, that's a weird beard.
Adal
And you're listening to 107 FM in the morning.
Erin
Um, you both have beards.
JPC
Yes, true, correct.
Erin
Should I start wearing a fake beard to live shows?
Adal
Yes. Erin, I will pay for it if you wear it.
Erin
Okay, I'll do it.
Adal
Erin, when you go to live shows, you've got two fake beards. That's Adal and I. Oh, okay. You know what I'm saying?
Erin
How long have you had a beard?
Adal
I've had a beard since my neck surgery. I've had a beard since, boy oh boy, off and on since college, but I've maintained a beard since maybe 2008, I wanna say.
JPC
I think I was probably 20 when I grew a weird chin strap goatee thing that did not look good, but I was probably, probably wasn't until I was like 22 until I had a beard beard.
00:30:25
Erin
I knew you when you didn't. Right? Did you always have a beard the whole time in Chicago?
JPC
I had a mustache for a long time. You used to have a Salvador Dali mustache. I had a huge, huge mustache for about a year-ish.
Erin
But did you have nothing ever?
JPC
There's been a couple times in Chicago where I've gone clean-shaven, but what it is for me is that I do not like to shave, and it takes no effort to grow a beard. You basically have to do nothing, and then you just have a beard. So that is my preference.
???
It's also nice to not...
Adal
I was going to say it's nice to not go into the Chicago winter with like aftershave like with a raw face.
JPC
I would never, I would never shave until like summertime at all.
Erin
I would never shave for this bit is looking great. When I met you on Sarab and Jason's porch at a party, we talked about Veep.
Adal
What is his origin story?
Erin
That's where we met. That's where the first time in the first time JVC and I talked, we talked about Veep for like 20 minutes. And I remember being like, that guy's really funny. And then the next time I saw you, I remember not recognizing you. Because I didn't have a beard? Because one of those was an inverse of the other, your facial hair change.
00:31:25
JPC
It's been very little time that I've spent without a beard, or not counting the mustache.
Erin
It's also possible you had a mustache one of the times and then a beard the next time I saw you.
Adal
Let's figure it out now.
JPC
Let's go, let's do it. This is the best time for it. Yeah, let's take a little break. Do you notice how I'm winking? This is the best time for it. Sure, I thought you were having a stroke, honestly. Oh, I am. I'm a clone.
Erin
Well, let's take a little break.
JPC
Adal's gonna go to the hospital, Erin and I are gonna figure it out. No need.
Adal
I'm a clone. Oh, good, yeah. Kill me. That's right, sure.
Erin
Kill me.
Adal
We'll be right back with less Adal.
Erin
No.
Adal
Kill me.
JPC
And we are clones. No, we've killed the clones. They're stinking in a pile over there. The clones are dead.
Erin
I didn't clone myself. I just put myself in two parts because I have two hearts.
JPC
Two hearts, two hearts.
00:32:26
Adal
On CBS this fall.
Erin
Twins, twins, twins, twins.
Adal
One of them dies, one gets both hearts, two hearts, one part. God, I love to have two hearts.
JPC
I don't know if four hearts is like a fucking space movie.
Adal
So let's cast two hearts. That's going to be Kevin Hart and Melissa Jones. Hart? Yeah. Those are the two hearts. They're twins.
Erin
They remake one of the Mary-Kate and Ashley mystery movies.
JPC
Just the Parent Trap.
Erin
They remake the Parent Trap again.
Adal
So, this episode we haven't done a ton of riddles. I'll come clean, I'll be honest. Fine, you caught us.
Erin
The listeners would have never known unless we told them.
Adal
Well, we haven't done a ton, but I do want to mention that we are working with a finite resource. Riddles are basically, I don't know, fucking coal, right? There's a limited amount. There's no more dinosaurs making, because dinosaurs famously pooped coal, there's no more dinosaurs to make coal, right?
Erin
Yeah, there's that one in my backyard that I'm keeping safe for people like you.
00:33:27
???
More coal, Mrs. Erin?
Adal
Are you kissing that dinosaur?
???
Please don't make me go back down to the coal mine, Mrs. Erin.
Erin
That's horrible. If I had him and I, I was like protecting him and he was my friend.
JPC
You have a dinosaur slave who you call.
Adal
Let's just say I have a dinosaur as well, but I keep him in the bedroom. He's a pegasaurus. In the bedroom I'm afraid of Saratop. So something I thought we could do...
Erin
This is the most fun we've ever had. Everybody just relax.
Adal
Something I thought we could do to sort of, like when you sneak into your parents' liquor cabinet when you're a kid and you take some bourbon, you might put some water in to help dilute that and make it last a little longer. So something I thought we could do is try out some new segments. These would be reoccurring segments that we introduce that don't burn a million riddles so that we can keep doing the podcast for a long, long time. Interesting.
JPC
Well, that sounds like the listener got way more information than they needed behind our secret plan. But I love it, but I love it. And I think that we should do it. And I think that they'll honestly, they'll forget this.
00:34:38
Adal
Great. So for this first segment that I'm going to introduce, what I need us to do is, one, I need us to have a lot of energy. Is that okay? Dr. Sleep's over here?
Erin
Oh, we're getting pulled over.
Adal
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Be cold. Everybody be cold. The podcast is getting pulled over. Hold on. Hold on. Let me handle this.
Erin
Let me handle it.
Adal
Thanks for watching! What seems to be the problem?
Erin
Do you know how fast you were going?
Adal
Well, we're about 35 minutes in, so... Never answer that question. Sorry, I don't know.
Erin
I don't... Can I see your license and podcast registration, please?
Adal
Yep. Here's a certificate from Headgum that says I am able to do a podcast. What was the other thing you needed? It says you're Adal to do a podcast. Shit. Okay.
JPC
I don't have a license or something. I have a license. It's just a picture of Jake and Amir that they gave us. This is a license to a podcast on this network.
Adal
Japes, that is a rake and a beer. You are holding a rake in a beer.
Erin
I love their podcast. What are some reviews that you've gotten? What are some iTunes reviews?
00:35:40
Adal
Greg from Colorado famously called us boring and uninspired. Most of our reviews are either not enough riddles or too many riddles, so we can't win.
JPC
There's one review from a user called MyGrandma that says, how do I rate the podcast? That's a one-star review.
Erin
Well, one of your backlights is out. Oh, really? It says here, yeah. Well, I just did a little bit of research on you. It seems like Erin is underappreciated. Well, keep an eye on that.
Adal
Can I see your badge? Give me your gun. Get on the floor. Get on the floor. You're under arrest. Squeal like a piggy.
Erin
I have lots of energy. That's all to say.
Adal
I love telling a cop, can I see your badge? The answer is always no. Great. So for this first segment, we need some energy. So what's going to happen is just to this sort of rhythm like... That's fast. That's so fast. We're going to list animals doing or holding something. So we might say a snake with an egg roll. 20 eagles fucking. Right? Does that make sense? Or horse with a trumpet.
00:36:48
JPC
Doing something or holding something.
Adal
Yes.
JPC
Gotcha. Okay. And it could be any number of... You said 20 Eagles. Can you explain it one more time?
Adal
A prairie die with a hand grenade.
Erin
A chinchilla with a McDonald's bag.
Adal
A fox with a cup of coffee. A dolphin with a mustache.
Erin
A zebra with a cocktail.
Adal
A dolphin without a mustache. A monkey with a hand grenade. That brings us to our very first animal parade.
JPC
We've been to two animals at two hours and our six things that we did.
Adal
I want to play again! Well you said something that rhymes with parade, a monkey with a hand grenade. That brings us to our segment animal parade. This is a segment within a segment? No, the name of the segment is Animal Parade. The name of the segment is Animal Parade. This was all the lead-up to me announcing it.
00:37:55
Erin
Oh! Okay, fine, but can we do that again? That was so fun!
Adal
So versus getting into the segment, you'd rather replay the intro? That was so fun! Wait a second, wait a second.
JPC
You guys are the fucking worst! Wait, that's not the segment, that's the intro? I thought that was the segment! I love that!
???
You are the fucking worst!
Adal
Literally before the podcast, I said I'm gonna introduce a segment. The only thing I ask is to go with it and you guys go
Erin
What is it we're gonna do? How the fuck would we not know that that was the segment? We embraced it with open arms, having no idea that that was the intro to the segment.
Adal
I thought that was the segment. I loved that segment. But hold on, who said grenade first? You think I would just explain a game, put a title to it, and that's the reverse engineer that... Did I say grenade first or did you say grenade first? You said grenade, and then I stopped it to say animal prey, because that's the name of the segment. But how did you know I was gonna say grenade? I didn't. Holy shit, then that's amazing. That's why I stopped it to move into the segment,
JPC
I swear to god you explained it like this was the secret.
00:38:57
Erin
I regret nothing. Okay.
JPC
Can we play again?
Erin
I'm gonna throw up. All I know.
JPC
Here we go. Casey, do not touch this episode.
Adal
This episode is perfect. A horse with a whisper.
Erin
A kitty cat with a boat.
Adal
Beaver doing push-ups. A monkey with some lemonade.
Erin
An eagle with some pink lemonade.
Adal
A bat missing its dad.
JPC
A rhino with a superiority complex.
Adal
That brings us to Animal Parade. So Animal Parade is a segment I'd like to introduce. Can we also name the segment that we just did?
Erin
Yeah, can that be the Adal's Mad segment?
Adal
That's always how we get into Animal Parade. Okay, we're ready. What do you got? I used to be Adal, now I'm a clone, named Madal. So what I'm going to do is I'm just going to read a brief article about something going on with animals because here's the thing, animals are a mystery, right? That fits into the show. And the rest is history.
00:40:09
Erin
Much like space, animals are a mystery.
Adal
Yeah, I wanted to be a zoologist before I went into doing what I do with theater, which is the exact opposite of being a zoologist. Bullshit! The exact opposite of helping people.
Erin
Well, some theaters are zoos.
Adal
And you two know that my favorite thing in the world to do, and I did it several times last night in world news, is to play animals. So I thought to do something with animals and that brought me to Animal Parade. So I'm going to read an article about what's going on in the animal world and then I'm going to give you all a puzzle or a riddle having to do with animals and we'll have to solve that. Can we comment on this article as you read it? Absolutely, that's the point of it, is that it's fodder, it's something that's not a riddle that we can use for inspiration in scenes and kind of talk about, so that we have some longevity. So the article I found is from the Washington Post. The title of this article is, if emotional support animals are banned from planes, some people say they'll stop flying. Now Ali is a 35-pound, 4-year-old, obedient school graduate who can roll over and shake on command. He is also a seasoned air traveler. The miniature golden noodle has flown in the plane cabin dozens of times, always without incident according to its owner, Tracy Halama. But Ollie's flying days may be numbered because he is an emotional support animal for Halama's teen daughter, who suffers from anxiety. The Transportation Department last week proposed allowing airlines to treat support animals as pets rather than service animals, which have been trained to perform a task or function for a person with disabilities. How do we feel about that?
00:41:40
Erin
That's not good.
JPC
No, that's awful. Why would they do that? Also, this person's name is Halama. That person's just a llama. That's a llama in disguise.
Adal
Here's a quote from the president of the Association of Flight Attendants. It says, the days of Noah's Ark in the air are hopefully coming to an end. Although wacky animals get the most attention, the transportation department says the vast majority of emotional support animals on planes are dogs. So they're going to call an end to this, which seems like it's going to be... No more dogs on planes? Very, very sad. No more dogs on planes. No more snakes on planes.
JPC
No emotional support dogs on planes, but like if you're like blind or you have like a disability that's not like an emotional thing, you can still, right? Yeah, that's a service dog.
Adal
Service animals.
Erin
That's still really bad.
Adal
It says here, the proposed rules seek to address conundrums that mushroomed as more animals have taken to the skies, the most controversial of which may be the proliferation of emotional support animals. Training is not required for support animals, about 751,000 of which flew in 2017. The current regulation's broad definition of a service animal Has allowed all manner of species to board free. A duck, a marmoset among them.
00:42:46
JPC
Huh. That emotional support animal thing, it's also just like insanely easy to do. You basically like pay $100 online and you get a certificate and then you have an emotional support animal.
Adal
I had, I was on a flight late last year and as I was falling asleep I felt... I was sleeping on a flight late last night. And I felt something, I thought it was a human like grabbing my legs and I freaked out and I was like there's a killer, there's a killer coming up from under my seat. Oh my god wait that is a great screenplay idea. It was terrifying. It was the most I've legit been fearful of my life. What was the dog behind you? It was under the seat, yeah whoever the owner was put it on the floor and took the leash off. So just running around the plane and it ran under my seat and like was grabbing at my feet and I was, I thought it was like a small killer. Grabbing.
Erin
The dog was grabbing. The name of my movie is Small Killer.
Adal
I want to see a scene. Erin, you are boarding a flight. I will be the sort of ticket taker or flight attendant, and J.P. She will be some sort of emotional support animal for Erin. Okay, ticket please.
00:43:53
???
Here you go.
Adal
And I don't need a ticket because I'm an emotional support animal. He's with me. Huh. I'm so sorry. I don't want to make any assumptions.
Erin
He's my emotional support man.
Adal
I'm an emotional support, a man's an animal. And so I'm an animal. So you're bringing on an emotional support animal, which is man. Yeah. And therefore not needing a ticket. Therefore getting clearly what is your boyfriend or husband on the flight.
Erin
No, no, no, no. We're not.
Adal
We're not. No, I mean, we... My pet. Yeah, I'm a pet. I'm an emotional support animal. I don't need to know your sex life. Okay, if you're an emotional support animal, I need to put you through the rigmarole. I need to see your training.
???
Okay.
Adal
So, go ahead and sit. Yeah, sit in here. Okay, sure. Wanna see it on the chair? Why not? Okay, go ahead.
JPC
Go ahead and beg. Oh, please let me have your Netflix password. Oh, come on. I'm not gonna look at anything weird. They don't even have porn on there.
Adal
And I want you to roll over. What carrier do you have, AT&T? I want to see you roll over your minutes. Roll over your minutes. Nobody has roll over minutes. Okay, then I can't let you on the flight.
00:44:57
JPC
Okay, come on, come on, man.
Erin
Honey, I mean, emotional support animal, why don't you just roll over in one of your ideas? Wait, is his name Honey? Yeah, his name's Honey. Why don't you roll over in one of your ideas? You know what I mean? Different kind of roll over.
JPC
Well, I'll roll over. You start talking about something, I'll start talking about something that interests me. You say that you don't like it, and then I'll immediately backpedal.
Adal
Okay.
JPC
Yeah, so I can't wait for the Super Bowl. Don't like it? Oh, yeah. More like superb owl.
Erin
Yeah, football is just guys throwing balls under their butts.
Adal
A sports ball? Can we get more passes, please? I can't help but notice that you do have a superb-looking owl on your shoulder. What is that? Oh, this is my master? This is Hawkins. Wonderful. So let's get into the second part of Animal Parade, which is some sort of riddle or trivia or quiz or puzzle that you all have to solve involving animals.
Erin
Don't show how disappointed you are that there isn't an actual animal parade coming through this DDO. Do not let it show on your face.
00:46:00
Adal
After what we mentioned was in the parade, we don't want to see that. Just monkeys and dolphins with grenades.
Erin
No, I want to see the bat who misses his dad.
Adal
His name is Bruce Wayne. So here we go. I'm going to give you all two minutes on the clock and what you have to do... I only need one. Okay. Erin, you heard.
Erin
I need no minutes.
Adal
What I need you to do is come up with at least one animal for every letter of the alphabet. Again, I'm going to give you two minutes. Starting with a going in order through Z, you have to come up with an animal for every letter of the alphabet.
JPC
Okay, hold on. Wait, are Erin and I... We're a team. Are we doing a co-op or are we doing it one by one?
Adal
Let's do one by one. Here we go.
Erin
But we can help each other out.
Adal
Sure, but I'm not gonna give you time to think about it. Here we go. Okay, ready? Put your computer away, you fuck. He's gonna keep track. Yeah, I'm keeping track, stupid. Better. Here we go. Start.
Erin
Aardvark. Bat. Cow. Dog. Eagle.
Adal
Okay, I'm already going to remove one point for not saying donkey. Eagle, go.
Erin
Fox.
00:47:04
JPC
You help, you help. Great ape.
Adal
Great ape? Yeah. Horse. It's a type of ape. Do you mean a gorilla, my man? Gorilla. You can't use a fucking adjective. Hello?
JPC
A gorilla is one of the great apes.
Adal
Uh, llama. Llama, lemur. Great, Erin has to do the next five.
Erin
I've been chewing all of them. Mouse. Uh, newt. Uh, penguin.
Adal
Oh, orangutan.
Erin
Orangutan. Oh, sorry. Uh, penguin. Quail. Quail.
Adal
Quail. Quail.
Erin
Quail. Quail. Quail. Uh, rabbit. Uh, snake. Uh, turtle. Um,
Adal
You can't be mythological.
Erin
I wasn't going to say unicorn. This is the most stressed I've ever seen, Erin.
00:48:07
Adal
What?
Erin
What's a you animal? I know there is some.
JPC
Can we skip and go back?
Erin
Oh, we can.
Adal
Yes, we can. You animal. This is animal parade. I made the rules. Is an umpire an animal? Oh god, what the fuck isn't- Okay, this is something- Do you know one?
Erin
Do you know one?
Adal
Yeah, it's something you might have for the adventurous sushi eater. Umami? It might be a little spiky. Urchin.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
T-U-V.
Erin
My brain.
Adal
This is a carrion. It's a type of bird.
Erin
Vulture. V-U-W. Whale. X. Is there one that begins with X?
Adal
X-bra? Zebra? I can think of one. One that begins with an X. Sure. An excited xylophone. X-ray eel, maybe?
Erin
Okay. Why?
00:49:11
Adal
Okay, I think of Benny Hill. Umm... You think of the Benny Hill theme?
Erin
Yurt.
Adal
Yup, exactly. Yurtany Cirks.
Erin
Yeah, oh yeah.
Adal
And then a zebra.
Erin
Zebra.
Adal
Yay! You all got it in two minutes and 38 seconds, which means we have to redo it with all new animals.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
No, we're not gonna do that. No.
JPC
The hominidae, whose members are known as Great Apes or hominids... Bullshit, look at your fucking science and get back to what you're fucking eating. Bullshit.
Adal
How'd we like Animal Parade?
Erin
I loved it. Loved the intro. Intro's very fun to do.
Adal
Should the intro just be the same? No, no, no.
JPC
Are there other, so legit, are there other animals that begin with you?
Erin
Let's look it up.
JPC
What other animals begin with you? Do you know? Underwater ape. Underwater ape sounds like a cartoon network, handlebarbaric cartoon.
Adal
And all it says is underwater. It's like rape ape but drowning.
Erin
See urchin.
JPC
Urchin.
Erin
Umbrella bird.
00:50:12
JPC
Umbrella bird sounds fake.
Erin
U-R-I-A-L, what is this?
JPC
Urial?
Erin
Yeah, what is that?
???
Little mermaid?
Erin
No. There's a Ulysses butterfly.
JPC
Unicorn fish. It's a narwhal.
Erin
There's not a lot.
JPC
So most of those are also just like, again, adjective. The unicorn fish or the ugly bird.
Erin
Unicorn or what is this? Wait, the umbrella bird is very fun.
Adal
Oh really?
Erin
Yeah, fun vibe, great vibe.
Adal
I think I saw those on Planet Earth and they make like a little dance. Yeah, that's where you would see them. I don't think you'd see them on fucking bars.
Erin
Oh, I'm obsessed with those birds who flirt. Birds who try to be sexy for other birds are the funniest, funniest things. I used to post a lot in my Instagram stories. You know those videos of birds flirting for other birds? I really don't.
Adal
They like spin around the circle. They're like, whoop whoop whoop. They're like birds of prey.
Erin
And then they like change their eye color. Then they bow.
Adal
That's what I'm talking about. And they do like sexy stuff. And they like click.
00:51:15
Erin
And they just like do little like spins.
Adal
And they hop right and left. And then another one, the female will come and watch and be like, no thanks, hard pass.
Erin
Or she'll like shit on him like everywhere we're in. This is on my dude.
JPC
I know that's the reason why like male birds have plumage and like very colorful plumage because if they're sick and they're like shitting all over themselves it would cover their plumage and like bird shit. By plumage you mean they're puffing clouds? Oh yeah they're vaping dude.
Erin
They're fucking blowing huge clouds.
Adal
Birds that vape. Google birds that vape. That's the hottest thing. Let's go into, we're gonna do one more, we're gonna do another segment. We might do a third one. For this next segment, I need to step out of the room for just some moments so you two entertain yourselves.
Erin
What did we talk about when Adal's not here?
JPC
Oh, Adal? Yeah, that's true.
Erin
How tall do you think Adal is?
JPC
Six-one.
Erin
Okay, and that feels right.
JPC
Yeah, you're 5'9 and I'm 6'11. Yeah.
Erin
Wait a minute.
Adal
6'1 is accurate. You know who's also 6'1? Hitler, Mussolini. Hitler and Mussolini. We're both 6'1.
00:52:20
Erin
Hey, Pussbot, do you have a clone? We were just talking about clones earlier.
Adal
No, I don't have a clone.
Erin
Okay. Okay.
Adal
But if I did, I would kiss it.
Erin
Thank you.
Adal
Thank you. Same girl, same. Same girl, same. Same girl, same. Yas queen, Pussbot. Yas queen, Pussbot.
Erin
Um, Pussbot, what segment are you introducing?
Adal
Are you hosting a segment, Pussbot? I'm hosting a segment. Would you like to hear the title? This is the title leading into the segment. This is not the segment itself. Is there a game? Is there a game that goes with the title? No. Oh. Oh, good.
Erin
Alright, we're ready, Pussbot.
Adal
Yeah, what's the title, Pussbot? The title of this segment is Beep, Bop, Zeep, Zorp, It's, Puzz, Bots, Trivia, Corpse. So there's a song that goes with the title?
Erin
What the fuck? Pussbot, did you kill someone? This is a fucking JBC. What the fuck do we do?
JPC
Is Buzzbot gonna pull out a body that we have to tell him whose body this is?
Erin
Oh God, Jesus.
Adal
Here's how it goes. I'm going to pull out a body. You have to tell me whose body this is and how I killed them.
JPC
Let's see. Squeeze to death with metal claws. Correct. Squeeze to death with metal claws.
00:53:23
Adal
You've played this before. I have Buzzbot. You win. No, no. Joking. I was programmed to joke. I was programmed to do two things. Three things. Sol Riddles. Tell jokes and feel pain. It tick-ass and chew bubblegum, right?
Erin
I was programmed to do two things. Be a snack and smile back.
Adal
Goldfish.
Erin
Oh, good, Pussbop.
Adal
Here's how this segment works with Puzzbot. Let me repeat the title. Beep bop, zeep zorp, it's Puzzbot's Trivia Corpse. Trivia Corpse is a catchy name. Sure. Fact.
Erin
It's a Wednesday morning. No one wants to hear the word corpse. Trivia Corpse. Come on.
Adal
Okay. So here's what's going to happen. I'm going to tell you about someone who in history died in an unusual way. I will give you three options in how they died. You will have to guess which is the right option.
???
Okay.
Adal
And will we be familiar with this person? No. Got it. Probably not. Sure. Ready? Yes. Here's the first one. Brazilian man, Hoya Maria de Sousa, was killed in 2013 when a blank fell through his roof onto him as he slept.
00:54:29
Erin
Well, first of all, rest in peace, that's so sorry.
Adal
Yes, so sorry. We should not say full names. Let me beep-bop-zeep-zorp this out. When a blank fell through his roof onto him as he slept, was it a robot?
Erin
Okay, was it a unicorn fish?
Adal
What are you doing? I explained how the segment works.
Erin
I thought I would do a callback. Go ahead.
Adal
Let's do a callback to Animal Parade. A cat with a piano. A robot with a friendship bracelet. Oh my god. He made one. I did. Pussbot has a best friend. Second up to Pussbot. J.P.C. Yes. Pussbot's my new best friend. You suck up to Pussbot? Pussbot sucks down on you.
Erin
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, Pussbot. Pussbot.
Adal
I'm a traceratop. I'm a traceratop.
Erin
Not interested, Pussbot. All right, okay, bat, all right.
Adal
Daddy was made to slurp.
Erin
What's option B?
Adal
Just call your dick ramen. Because I'm a slurp that's not a thing. Uh-oh, Pussbot. Malfunction. Malfunction. Let's just recommit. All right, A is robot.
00:55:32
Erin
A is robot.
Adal
Here we go. A Brazilian man was killed in 2013 when a blank fell through his roof onto him as he slept. Was it A, a robot? B, a cow? C, a car? Answer please. Cow.
JPC
I'm gonna say cow. Cow seems the wildest of those things.
Erin
I'll go with a car just to have a different answer than you.
Adal
The answer is cow. A cow fell through his roof onto him as he slept crushing him to death. Was the cow, was the cow like on the roof on purpose?
JPC
Was this a prank? What do you think? Uh, no. Cause cows can't go downstairs, right? Cause this man had a fucking farm roof. I went to see a scene. There's a place in Wisconsin where there's like goats that live on top of the roof.
Erin
But isn't that true though, that cows can't go downstairs? They can only go upstairs?
Adal
That is, let me check. Fact, that is correct. I think that's an urban legend. That is correct, Erin is underappreciated.
Erin
Ah, taking... Alright, being careful.
JPC
Pudbot's really coming in strong with these endorsements.
Adal
I want to see a scene. Okay. JPC, you are playing a farmer. Sure. Erin, you are playing a cow. Okay.
00:56:39
JPC
Wow, he went from compliment to, Erin, you are playing a cow.
Adal
Alright, I'm ready. Wait, hold on, let me roll over on that. No, no, I wanna do it, I wanna do it. Let me walk that back. Shit, cows can't go downstairs.
Erin
Alright, ready?
Adal
Yes.
Erin
Move over. I want to watch the movie with you. The movie with you.
JPC
Go back to the barn, okay?
Erin
No. I want to watch the movie with you. Come on.
JPC
We can't keep doing this, Bess. Come on. Hey, no.
Erin
Let's watch Twister. I want to see one of my own fly through the sky.
JPC
Bess, we can't keep doing this, okay? How come? I let you watch Ghostbusters with me on a lark one time because I was feeling lonely, but it's time for you to go back to your barn.
Erin
But I love movies.
JPC
Time for the scene to end. End of scene. Close your fin.
00:57:48
Adal
Was that a good edit?
Erin
It hurts so much more when Puzzbot ends your scenes. It's not warm at all.
Adal
There's no joy, no love. Here is the next trivia corpse. Please say that you are ready. Ready. Please mean it.
???
Affirmative. Please have energy.
Adal
Shit, hold on, we're getting pulled over. Everyone be cool. I don't have a license. I'm a robot.
Erin
I'm just pulling you over again today. Are you appreciating, Erin?
Adal
Yes, I am.
Erin
And you have plans to continue to appreciate it?
Adal
Here's a sneak and a mirror. Officer, can I see your badge and gun?
Erin
Oh yeah, sure.
Adal
Okay. Blam blam. Blam blam.
???
It works properly.
Adal
My best friend is dead.
Erin
Alright, I'm ready. Go.
Adal
Here we go, here is the next one. This is the next trivia corpse. A Canadian lawyer was trying to prove that the glass in the windows of a 24th floor office was unbreakable by throwing himself against it. It didn't break, but it did do this. Did it A. shatter and he fell to his death. B. pop out of its frame and he plunged to his death. Or C. a robot killed him.
00:58:55
JPC
Well, so he said it didn't break, so it couldn't have shattered.
Erin
So I guess it just came out of its frame.
JPC
Well, or a robot killed him.
Erin
I believe- You know, let's go with that one, husband.
Adal
Wait, he was trying to prove that the glass was unbreakable, but who knows what happened? Oh, okay, okay. It could be an Elon Musk situation. Sure, sure, sure.
Erin
I think it came out- it popped out of its frame.
Adal
I think it also popped out of its frame. Like a man who's at men's warehouse, he popped out of his frame.
Erin
Is that they- Is that true?
Adal
The thing you said about men's warehouse?
Erin
That's horrible. I don't think so.
Adal
You are correct. It popped out of its frame.
Erin
What year did this happen?
Adal
I went to a CA scene.
Erin
It must have been so traumatizing for people to watch.
Adal
Erin, I want you to be someone who's trying to prove that the glass is unbreakable.
JPC
But also for this guy, he was wrong. So it's like, it's doubly bad. There's all sorts of nightmarish things. It's tragic and everyone afterwards is like, he was also wrong.
Adal
Repeating self. Repeating self. I'd like to see a scene. Erin, you are trying to prove that the glass is unbreakable. And go.
00:59:56
Erin
Okay. You guys check this out.
JPC
You think this glass wasn't unbreakable?
Erin
Yeah, this glass wasn't unbreakable. Look, wait, come over to my computer.
JPC
How can you prove it? It's me, Office Man.
Erin
All right, come over to my computer. Look, look, look, there's a freeze frame of, and stuff. Fast forward and freeze. Look, look, that's that glass.
Adal
I mean, it's a glass. That could be CGI. It's in a diner. It's secured by his hand.
Erin
No, no, no. That is the glass.
Adal
Prove it now. Here and now.
Erin
I love my wife and kids. Let's just walk up to the glass and ask it. All right. Hey, Glass. Were you? I'm so sorry to bother you. Excuse me.
Adal
I'm with my wife.
Erin
I know. I'm just so sorry. I'm with my wife. Were you an unbreakable?
JPC
Are you?
Erin
I'm so sorry. I hate bothering celebrities like this.
JPC
This happens to me so often. No, I was an unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Erin
Oh my god. Wow. You look like you're famous, so I just knew you were in the business. Incredible.
Adal
Can I just say I am a human man playing a character? You're a robot. You're definitely a robot.
Erin
You really took over the scene.
Adal
End of scene. End of scene improv done. Here is the last one. This has been Beep. Bop. Shit. Beep bop zeep zorp. Buzzbots trivia corpse. We're just gonna call it beep bop shit. Buzzbots trivia corpse. Here's the last one. Okay. Robert Williams, a Ford assembly line worker, is the first human in history to have been killed by blank. Is it a car? Is it a light bulb? Or is it a robot?
01:01:24
Erin
It's a robot. This is the one time it's a robot.
JPC
I feel like Puzbot really wants us to guess that it was a robot. It's a robot. I would say he was killed by the unending and never-ending gears of capitalism grinding on further and further, pushing him into a career where he was forced to be killed by a robot.
Adal
Ding, ding, ding, ding. That is the wrong answer to buzz.
JPC
Puzbot, you gotta recalibrate your buzz answers. I'll get my hopes up. Recalibrating does not compute.
Erin
Was that correct?
Adal
What was your answer? You got killed by a robot. I didn't jerk off for a whole year and I recalibrated. Erin, bingo bingo hot ta ta ta. You are correct. He is the first known man in history to have been killed by a robot. He was hit by a robot arm that killed him.
Erin
That's horrible.
Adal
Just so you know, I was not there.
Erin
I'm so sorry to his family.
JPC
Sorry to this man.
Erin
Housebot, why did you have to bring that up? Like, that you weren't there.
JPC
And this guy, and you weren't there, Puzmont? I was not there.
Erin
Why even say that?
JPC
Huh?
Erin
We weren't even gonna ask.
JPC
But was he a member of your family there? Like a father or something? It does not compute. You've got really strong arms. Hmm. Was there like an armbot in your family tree that may have been there, Puzmont? Maybe. Can we have Adal back to Puzmont? Fucking murderer.
01:02:34
Adal
Yes, of course. We have to go do plugs. Let me go get him. Get the fuck out of here, Puzmont.
Erin
Oh, Adal's back!
Adal
Hey! Hey! Adal! Sorry, I have my segment ready. Ready? Adal, I don't like plugs, but... Why not?
Erin
If he's creepy... We need a murderer.
Adal
Well, hey, okay, come on. We're all murderers.
Erin
Adal, anything to plug?
Adal
I have a few things I want to plug. I want to plug... Can you pick one? Well, I want to plug Puzzbot in so he can return.
Erin
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Adal
I want to recommend that people go check out season three of Offices and Bosses, which is a D&D-type Magic Tavern spin-off, is now on Stitcher Premium. We have a few episodes that will be out by the time this releases. You can go to Stitcher Premium and sign up, I believe, using the code MAGIC to get some money off. So please check that out. The first episode stars JPC. Features. Features, sorry. Features. Well, I listened to it and it stars you. So please check that out. We also have Steve Altin returning as a series of bats, Brooke Bright as Flower, Jamie and Samy, a bunch of fun guests. So please check out Office of Embosses Season 3. I also want to recommend that you check out our review We have a monthly live stream. We also have a new review of Twin Peaks Up, which was a GD blast to record and I really enjoyed. And the last thing I want to do is thank Nick Kelly and Jessica Haddell. I think her last name is. Sounds like Adal, but they sent me, after I mentioned I want to keep reading the Animorphs series, they sent me 25 Animorph books.
01:04:06
JPC
Wow.
Erin
That's so nice.
JPC
That's very cool. Do you now, is your set any closer to completion? Absolutely. After I got 25 Animorph books? I didn't know if they, did they send you like 1 through 25 or did they send you the ones you were missing?
Adal
They sent me a bunch and all of them are ones I did not have. Wow, that's so cool. I'm very excited. Thank you so much Nick and Jessica.
JPC
James, anything you want to plug? No, I would just plug that if you liked, if you're a member of our Patreon and you liked our last Hey Ridd D&D session that was hosted by Rush Howell of the Wonderful Here's the Situation podcast, we will be doing another one, another episode arc, so be on the lookout for that. We'll have like new stretch goals associated with it. It's very cool.
Erin
Those episodes were so fun to record.
JPC
And that's patreon.com slash Hey Riddle Riddle.
Erin

01:05:10
JPC
And Erin, one place that you would love to talk if there was oxygen would be... Oh, Jupiter for sure. I guess I'd like to plug a few things up.
Erin
No, go away, go away, go away, go away.
JPC
Walk off.
Adal
Bye forever, 0110.
JPC
