This is a HeadGum podcast.

This is a HeadGum podcast.
Adal
I'm back. Okay. Okay.
Erin
All right, so this is how the episode's starting. Adal, we were about to start recording and then Adal took a phone call and put us on mute. That's a little rude.
JPC
That's a power move.
Adal
Listen, it's 2022. It's a new Adal. A few new things you need to know. Number one, I'm sexy now. I'm hot. I'm beautiful. I'm sexy. Where? All over.
00:01:02
JPC
I'm into it. I'm into it.
Adal
From the top of the head to the tip of my toes, I'm hot as hell. Okay. Number two, I'm a businessman. I'm very busy. I make phone calls. I have to mute people. Sure. It's no offense to you two. I respect you two. I love you two. I'm very busy. I feel respected. Number three, I'm going to start using pisswitch as a term of endearment. You two are my pisswitches. Okay.
Erin
Can I say something, Adal?
Adal
Yeah.
Erin
I hate all of this.
JPC
Adal, can I ask you a question about... Even me being confident?
Erin
Yeah, that most of all, I think.
JPC
Can I ask you a question about being a pisswitch? Yes. Is it W-I-T-C-H like a witch? Like, I have a broom. Or is it W-I-C-H like a sandwich?
Adal
And I'm sorry, for the witch you gave an example, I have a broom. Can you give an example for the second one? I have a lettuce. I think it's whatever you want to identify with.
JPC
Oh, I don't like either. I want to go on record and say I don't want to buy... If you feel like you're being a little magical, maybe it's witch.
Adal
If you feel like you're being a little crusty today, maybe it's witch.
00:02:05
JPC
I just want fans to know how to spell it when they tag you to say, stop saying pisswitch, please.
Erin
I like to think of it as a sandwich. I haven't seen you guys in three weeks. What's up?
JPC
We recorded two weeks ago, Erin.
Erin
Not me. Not mentally or spiritually.
Adal
What's up? How is everyone's New Year's? I'll go first. I sat at home. I hate New Year's Eve. It's the worst day of my life every year. So I sat at home. I watched the ball drop. I turned on the TV at 11.45 and watched the little festivities that were awful. And that's about it. What did you two get up to?
Erin
Well, I got COVID. Um... Again?
???
Again, Erin?
Erin
Uh-huh. And this time it really kicked my ass. I know where... I love just going back again and again to toxic relationships.
JPC
Erin, you had original recipe and you had... Uh, Spicy Abacron? Is that correct?
00:03:06
Erin
Yeah! Don't recommend it. And I am such a stay-at-home person, but I did travel for the holidays, which was a mistake. I thought getting tested before I went would help. Turns out that's nothing. It doesn't help at all just to get tested.
JPC
So wait, do you thought getting tested was a sort of magical shield?
Erin
Yeah, because I was like, I'll have goodwill because everyone else will get tested. Turns out a lot of people don't do that stuff. So travel got COVID, it kicked my ass. I was at a commission for a week. I texted Adal in a panic on Thursday like, I can't keep my eyes open, help me post an episode.
JPC
Now, Erin, were you traveling to see your family or Sean's family?
Erin
Sean's family.
JPC
Second time you've got COVID from Sean's family.
Adal
Yeah, I think the coils, I think there's something wrong with the coils.
JPC
I'll tell you what's wrong with them.
Erin
They have some COVID. They were good. They were good. This time wasn't on them. But yeah, but I otherwise had a really lovely holiday. I love New Year's as much. I was just obviously inside for a million days in a row, but I put my Christmas decorations away. I've just been lighting candles and cuddling with my dog. It's been great. No complaints.
00:04:30
Adal
Erin, you saying you hung out with your dog reminded me. I took an edible New Year's Eve night to help get me through it.
JPC
I hope this story ends with you hanging out with a dog.
Adal
Well, kind of. I don't know how to say this except to come out and say it because this is one of Adal's high thoughts. Erin, do you think Clifford the Big Red Dog is just an analogy for someone getting their period?
Erin
No.
Adal
You don't think this big red dog showing up is a coming of age story where it's like a girl's like, oh sorry I can't go play I'm on my big red dog. I got my big red dog this week.
Erin
I don't
Adal
You can't wear white around Clifford or else he goes crazy.
Erin
I don't think you know anything about Clifford or periods.
00:05:32
JPC
I think the only way Adal, and by the way this is Hey Riddle and Riddle on a podcast about Riddles and Impress, I think the only way that this analogy falls apart is that you don't understand either of the things that you're analogizing and that might, that's it. That's my only point of like critique I would say.
Erin
On the PBS show, John Ritter, that's what I was trying to think of, did the voice of Clifford and that's what I remember about it. And that's all I really remember about it. It's this little blonde girl and Clifford's her big dog.
Adal
They got John Ritter? That seems beneath him. Famously deceased. Famously dead.
Erin
Well, yes, but when he was alive, he was Clifford. And I think it's about being a big red dog in a little green and blue world.
Adal
But his wife is Kristen Ritter, who was the B in apartment 23.
Erin
That's not true.
Adal
Okay.
Erin
Adal, you're a mess. You're making a mess, Adal. I just cleaned the podcast. What are you doing?
JPC
Wait, wait, Clifford talks?
Erin
Yeah, of course.
JPC
But it's super in the microwave. Okay, I have no idea. He's a big red dog. I was like, talking was not on my list of things that I thought he did.
00:06:35
Adal
It would be funnier if John Ritter voice Clifford the Red Dog and he didn't talk.
JPC
He just did like Jim Allen, like... It's like George Clooney in South Park.
Erin
JBC, I can't wait till you have kids so we have stuff to talk about. Then we'll have a frame of reference for TV shows.
Adal
JBC, I stepped on your story. What did you do for New Year's Eve?
JPC
No, I didn't give a story. I was amazed that you guys were doing New Year's stuff a week late. I think this has a great precedent. I think it's going to be great that we'll just do a week late of what happened a week ago in the world.
Erin
How was I supposed to talk about New Year's Eve when I hadn't experienced it yet is my big question for you, Mr. Grumpy Man.
JPC
Well, I guess that's true, Erin. And I guess one of those things is you could have just not talked about New Year's Eve. It is possible to not talk about New Year's Eve.
Adal
Erin, I'm hearing it as I heard JPC respond. I'm starting to hear it. He is a Mr. Grumpy man. I hate to say it, but for this year you are Mr. Grumpy man.
JPC
Well, Mr. Grumpy Man didn't have COVID and he didn't get scared by his inner thoughts, so that I came out of my New Year's pretty unscathed, so I'm pretty happy about that. But I will say that this Omicron variant, a lot of people, Vax and Booster, thought that they were pretty safe, and I know a lot of people who got COVID. And it's because it's just everywhere. It's everywhere, and being vaccinated kind of doesn't help spread it, or prevent you from getting it.
00:08:01
Adal
It's funny, just in today's day and age, I kept reading Omicron, but I never said it. So the first time I said it, I was like, you know, the Omnicron? Like I had such, I fumbled my words so poorly. Cause nowadays I just, I don't talk to anyone, I just read. And then when I go to talk, it all comes out gibberish. I just say Amorosa.
JPC
We remember Amorosa, right? From The Apprentice. You're fired.
Erin
That's from the five-year pop culture history that I will never forget a single moment of. I don't know why. Anyways, who's old grumpy puzzles?
JPC
That would be all JPC. Ho, ho, ho. I gotta be honest with you. We got some good ones. We got some good freaking grumpy puzzles today. We'll be the judge of that. And you'll be the judge of that. No one else. This is a court of only two. So the two of you can judge the riddles according to their worth and their merit.
Adal
Cavill, Cavill, Robble, Robble, which of course, Robble, Robble is a Portman two of Rob and Gobble.
00:09:02
Erin
I just cleaned, Adal. I just cleaned. Did you not see? This is a podcast equivalent of me vacuuming and then you walking through the house with dirty shoes.
Adal
You should have upholstered the podcast in all white velvet.
JPC
If you're just now listening to this and you listen to the best of episodes and then you skipped a week like Adal and Erin did and then you thought, why don't I give this podcast a try? This is Hey Riddle Riddle. It's a podcast about riddles and improv. Yes, yes, yes, and we cannot wait to get into it. And so we're going to dip our toes in with some... I don't want to say easier because I think that that puts such a burden on the... Shorter?
Adal
Sleazier?
JPC
Okay. I like that. I like shorter and sleazier. So these are riddles that wish they were a little bit taller. Wish they were a baller.
Erin
My toes are cold. Keep talking.
Adal
Okay. Okay. It has literally gotten up from her chair. I have permission to keep going.
JPC
I have permission to keep going. So here we go. This one is an email that comes from Kevin. It says, love the podcast, have a few little riddies for you for your viewing pleasure. Thank you, Kevin. We've used a couple of them before, so I'm going to go to the one that we haven't used because I do like this. Also, we probably have used this, but I don't remember it and it's fun. Two penguins are paddling a canoe on the road. One turns to the other and says, where's your paddle? The other replies, sure does.
00:10:28
Adal
How is this possible? They're crazy. One's crazy. I mean, they're piling a canoe on the road, so that's your tip-off that they're not, you know.
JPC
Yeah, you know what? They all say that they're crazy until one of them is a trendsetter. One of these is the next Elon Musk, perhaps. Elon Tusk.
Erin
Can you say what did the first one say?
JPC
Two penguins are paddling a canoe down the road. One turns to the other and asks, by the way, I think my favorite type of joke set up is where one animal turns to another animal and says something. I love that.
Adal
I would love if there's, I feel like we're in a new millennia. As we move forward, we should start to say, you know, instead of saying one turned to the other, we should just say one stared straight ahead and muttered or something. No more turning of heads.
JPC
Yeah, that's not how you communicate when you drive. You just stare at the road and you say something awful about yourself and the way that you believe.
Adal
And let's look at the TV show and then you stare at the passenger seat for two minutes while talking and everyone's like, look at the road.
Erin
I'm trying to remember what Clifford was about.
JPC
So these two penguins that paddling can do down the road. One turns to the other and asks, where's your paddle? The other replies, sure does. Where's your paddle? Sure does. Where's your paddle? Sure does. Sure does. You guys have done this before where someone's like, have a good one. You're like, not bad.
00:11:44
Erin
Enjoy your meal. You as well. Fuck me, fucking fuck. LOL, you've had this one before. Casey, LOL, mind your business. Mind your business, Casey.
JPC
I forgot. That there is technically a person who's listened to a bunch of our episodes on this recorder.
Erin
You struggled last time too, Casey.
Adal
Fuck you Casey. Casey, if you remember, you get on the mic and say the answer.
Erin
Yeah, then you say the answer. Come here.
Adal
Casey, what's the fucking answer, tough guy? W-E-A-R-S. It wears your paddle using your canoe. Fuck. Cut it. Casey, edit yourself out. Cut it. Cut it from the show. Fuck.
Erin
No, hi Casey. That was Casey.
JPC
Every time he gets on mic for the show, it shows up in the fucking invoice, too. So this sucks.
Erin
So it's spelled that way.
Adal
Where's... Now we have to give him a sad card.
JPC
It's the extra, extra throw in a line in there. They're like, we didn't get that, right? Did the boom mic get that guy's line? Because we can't pay that guy. We can't pay that guy.
00:12:45
Erin
Where's your paddle? Where's it at? Where's out your paddle? Sure does.
Adal
I want to see a scene. JPC, you are a penguin. You live in, they live in Antarctica, right? Sure. So you're a penguin and Antarctica. You've been born and bred in the cold. You've known nothing but Antarctica, which you live on. Erin, you are a penguin in from, you're a cowboy penguin in from Texas and you just moved to Antarctica and you're trying to get settled and you do things a little bit differently. You're trying to get adjusted.
Erin
Yeehaw! Well I'm telling you when a penguin bumps into another penguin in Texas, one of the penguins apologizes sir.
JPC
Yeah, and I was apologizing. I'm sorry. Again, I was shouting pretty loudly. I was just, I was coming over to your house. I brought some carp and I wanted to just, you know, it's a carp casserole.
Erin
Do we need to take this outside? Well, we are outside.
00:13:46
JPC
We're penguins. This is where we live.
Erin
Well, cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold.
JPC
Well, I just wanted to bring over this carp casserole, welcome you to the neighborhood. I'm Gary. If you need anything, I live in the Uh, well, it doesn't matter what I live in because I'm not going to Google it, but I do live just across the rise.
Erin
You live in the Rookery with all the other penguins?
JPC
That's the name of it. I live in a Rookery of one. I am divorced. But I am open to meeting other penguins. You know, I get out there a little bit. It's not been all too well for old games. You know what? This isn't my life story. Just know, here's a Carp Casserole. Welcome to the neighborhood. If you need anything, if you're having trouble finding your way around... You think I can't adjust on my own, Gary?
Erin
Let's take this outside.
JPC
One, two, three... Again, we are outside. I just mention it because... You're wearing a vest and a... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... A... The area where penguins mate, nest, and raise their chicks is called a rookery.
00:15:33
Adal
Ooh, rookery mistake on my part.
JPC
Wow, very good pun. Okay, so these next little warm-up Riddles, they trail off because we did about half of them on a previous episode. These come from Nova again, they them, and these are... I don't know. Well, you'll remember them as soon as we give them, okay? Thank you, Nova. What do you call a magician who works with reptiles?
Adal
Uh, fucking snake. What is a magician who works with reptiles?
JPC
So I'll give you a hint. I think everything is- A lizard.
Erin
A wizard lizard.
JPC
A wizard lizard. That's right, Erin. A lizard wizard or a wizard lizard. These are Hank Panks. These are classic Hank Panks where, as you know, the Hank Pank format is the, the answer will kind of rhyme with it.
Erin
Well, I would like to see it.
JPC
The two words will rhyme. I'm so sorry.
Erin
Please. Adal, you are a wizard-lizard and you are coming across JPC who's camping in the woods and you're trying to convince him that you're a wizard who's just been turned into a lizard and that you need his help.
00:16:34
???
Excuse me. Sorry to startle you.
Adal
Sorry to be so close to the ground. Let me prop myself up on two legs. I'm a bit cold-blooded. Can I come by the fire?
JPC
How many mushrooms did I eat? Yeah, sure. This isn't happening. So come by the fire.
Adal
Let me grasp you by the shoulders and shake you. I need you to understand.
???
I'm a lizard. I'm a lizard, Harry. I'm a lizard. Is your name Harry?
JPC
You're a lizard? You're a talking lizard?
Adal
Well, no, I'm a wizard who got turned into a lizard by another wizard. We were having a wizard's duel, not unlike Sword in the Stone. I turned into an elephant. She turned into a mouse. I turned into a toucan. She turned into another toucan. Yes, we fucked. She turned me into a lizard. Can you? You fucked as toucan?
JPC
It's not important. I followed my nose, if you know what I mean. Well, wait, I just want to make sure you were the same animal when you fucked. Yes. Okay. Because I was like, I don't think they can fuck a lizard. Is that what you're hung up on? I don't want to say I'm hung up on it. I'm not one of these weird guys that knows like too much about cloacas or whatever, but I'm just saying it's just like a different, it doesn't matter.
00:17:55
Adal
Okay, let me prove to you I'm a wizard. What do you want done? Do you want me to change your hair color? Do you want me to take your hair shorter? Do you want me to smooth back your hair? Do you want me to make you have thicker hair? Do you want me to give you bangs? Do you want me to lengthen your hair?
JPC
Wait, who are you trying to make me look like? I love my style. Wait, hold on. Thicker, slicked back bangs, a different color. Oh god. Hey Riddle.
Erin
Charlie Hunnam.
???
Thank you. That's the witch I was fighting.
00:18:55
Adal
That's the witch I was fighting. Do you mind if we turn into two cans and use your camp?
JPC
Yeah, this isn't camping. This isn't real. I'll just let it happen. That guy's very accommodating.
Adal
I love a guy camping in a lizard wizard just trying to figure out the lead name of Sons of Anarchy.
Erin
We used to do improv, but I don't know how anymore.
Adal
To figure out someone's name without a phone is true wizardry.
JPC
It's true wizardry. What do you call a giant ape that breathes fire and attacks the city of Tokyo? Godzilla gorilla. It is a, well, technically Nova says gorilla Godzilla, but I think that we can, I think, yeah, that you're wrong. I think we can accept that. Okay, what about this one? What do you call a creature made of bones and gelatin?
Adal
Can I also just say the last one King Kong would have been acceptable? Because King Kong is basically an ape Godzilla. Does King Kong breathe fire though?
Erin
Yeah. Great. Jelly. Jelly.
00:19:57
Adal
Sorry, can you repeat the last one?
JPC
Yeah, here's my issue. Maybe I should have changed this, but one of the words is the same. So what do you call a creature made of bones and gelatin?
Erin
Jelly jelly. Gelatin skeleton. Gelatin skeleton, yeah.
JPC
Yeah, that is great. And I think this is the last of Nova's Hank Pinks. Here we go. What do you call a big dance in a cemetery?
Erin
Disrespectful.
JPC
Well, in some cultures... In some cultures... Dancing on your grave.
Adal
I wanna see a scene.
Erin
Hey, you kids get the hell out of here! Sorry.
JPC
So, Adal, you are presiding over a burial. I don't know if it's... Burial?
Erin
Burial?
JPC
Weirdo. You're presiding over one... That's not a funeral, but what's the part of the funeral where they're just putting the body in the crowd?
Erin
The funeral.
JPC
That's the funeral? Yeah, the wake.
00:20:57
Erin
The wake is after. No, no, yeah, the wake is... It's not the wake, it's the funeral, right?
JPC
I don't know, because you can have a funeral that's not at the grave site, right? The internment. Internment, that's it. Or it's not, we don't know, but that's what you're presiding over, Adal, you're a priest. Erin, this is a family member of mine that has passed away. We weren't very close, but you and I were newly dating and I've brought you to the funeral, and you think that there is a time that you will start dancing during this.
Adal
If anyone believes that this person should not be lowered into the ground, speak now or forever, hold your peace. This is the thing our family does. We add this part.
Erin
Oh no, yeah, I get it.
Adal
Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to marry together this dead body and the ground.
JPC
This part I don't know about. This is new to me.
Adal
Thomas was a strong man. Some say he could bend a penny in half. No one ever saw it, but he said he could. We'd all get a chuckle. Thomas worked for Caterpillar for 42 years, receiving amongst his anniversary gifts a belt buckle, a golden lighter, I want to say. Hopefully a few races along the way, am I right? And he died. He was crushed by one of the machines here at Caterpillar.
00:22:17
Erin
Um, sorry, I, uh, hey everybody. I know that I am new here and you may not know who I am.
???
I'm Amy.
Erin
Um, I didn't know Thomas, uh, well or at all. Um, but I do know and love his nephew. Um, so I thought that I would, um,
Adal
Stop this.
Erin
Speak from my heart. And by speak I mean dance and do an interpretive dance to sort of show how I'm feeling and to show how much I respected Thomas's life. So I just need a word of anything at all. And I would love if you guys did some laps and claps for beats because there is no music.
Adal
No, no, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. I'll give a word. Time. Time. Great.
Erin
That was his widow. One-piece bikini.
00:23:28
Adal
I'm hovering herself in caramel.
Erin
We've never said we love each other. Did you think I said that? I didn't. Stop.
Adal
Doing the flash dance move on top of the casket. Flash dance.
JPC
Hey, everybody. This is Noah.
Erin
Hey Noah, don't be rude.
JPC
You're interrupting. Sorry, Thomas and Steph, you know I just wanted to give everybody a quick announcement. Don't be rude. I'm a priest, so get date women. So I've become a priest.
Erin
You can't just announce yourself to be a priest. There's a lot you have to do.
JPC
No, I can do it. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to marry. Someone's after my job.
Erin
I object.
Adal
Okay, then we have to take the body out of the casket and someone has to slow dance with it.
Erin
I object. What's the riddle?
JPC
This is what you call a big dance in a cemetery. We didn't technically get this yet. A graveyard promenade.
00:24:31
Adal
A graveyard promenade. Save big money promenade.
Erin
A death bath. A death bath. A dead stop. A dead stop. I actually, I'm too busy to be dead stopped. I actually can't go. That was my thing. No, I'm too busy to be dead stopped.
JPC
I'm sexy and busy.
Erin
No, I'm busy and businesswoman busy.
JPC
Adal, you did bring up Menards so that I will say that I was at Christmas this year with my dad and his mother and they made a sound. You don't call it grandma? Gross, no. It's my dad's mom. Be respectful. I could say grandma, but guess what? Dad's mom? More specific. I was at Christmas with my dad, my grandma, my mom's mom. My parents are divorced and she's dead, so it was weird. But we're at Christmas and my dad's getting salad dressing out and he goes, so your grandma loves ranch dressing, but I bought her some ranch dressing and she hated it. And I was like, oh, where'd you get it? And he was like, I got it at Menards. And I was like, well, well, you shouldn't be buying ranch dressing at a hardware store. That's your first clue. I was like, was it like Brandon? He was like, I've never seen this brand before. And he got out the ranch dressing and he was like, you want to try it? She won't, she won't eat it. And so we went around the table and everyone like dipped their finger in, tasted some of the ranch dressing and said, this is some of the worst ranch dressing I've ever had. And then the next person was like, I gotta know what the worst ranch dressing you've ever had tastes like. And they said, that's the worst ranch dressing I've ever had. And every single person did it until it got back to my dad and he goes, well I guess I'll just throw it away. That's four dollars, just throw it away. And I was like, I see where, I see why I'm like this.
00:26:16
Erin
I see, everything's coming together, yes.
Adal
I'd rather be miserable than throw away four dollars. By ranch dressing up in NARS. That is brutal. I mean, I've seen them, they sell, they have like a whole aisle dedicated to like beef jerky. Cause that's, if you were, if you're a carpenter, like a contractor, you're eating the hell out of some jerky, constantly. It's in your truck, in the, in the cup holder.
JPC
If you're some blue collar fucking moron, you married your sister and you're eating beef jerky every day of your life.
Adal
Wait, you're talking about Doug, my brother-in-law. He married my sister. He married my sister. He shopped at Menards.
JPC
I will say apparently Menards in my dad's neighborhood is like Walmart. It's like a grocery store as well. But we all give them a lot of shit for buying food at Menards. Big dance in a cemetery. A prom. No, let's say this has a DJ and everyone's doing ketamine.
Erin
Oh, a rave rave rave. That's even more disrespectful. Don't go to a rave in a cemetery.
00:27:19
Adal
I'm in a fucking K-hole. No, darling, you just fell in the grave. Either way, it feels even sexier.
Erin
We used to play flashlight tag. Um, behind Old Chip Church, all my hang'em heads out there, we used to play- You would hit each other with flashlights? Yeah, it hurt. Um, no, but we would like wear all black and then play flashlight tags in the cemetery. And there was one time that I thought everyone left me because I had such a good hiding spot that I thought they like gave up and left, but I was so scared. Yeah, that's why they left. Well, yeah, I know, but maybe they are getting pranked. But I got so scared. Actually, maybe I shouldn't tell this. This is too disrespectful. Please, Erin, please.
JPC
You got so scared you dug up a body, ate it for power, tried to absorb their power.
Adal
Honestly, if you had not told the story about when your dress got caught and you flashed that guy, I would have quit the podcast.
Erin
Okay, well good. Well this, I just, you know when you get the, I think I might have said this on the show before actually, the hide and seek peas when you get nervous playing hide and seek then you have to pee really bad all of a sudden.
JPC
No, that's not a universal thing.
00:28:19
Erin
What?
JPC
No, I think it's the point where you'd have to like sit still and you're not supposed to pee that suddenly you just have to pee.
Erin
Exactly. And so I had been waiting so long. And so I didn't pee on anyone's grave, but I did pee, I peed in the cemetery.
???
Erin.
Erin
And I will never do that again, I'm sorry.
JPC
Luckily, there was an American flag there, so I didn't pee on any grave, I put the American flag down, I peed on that, no peek on the grave.
Erin
And the only curse I have is I'm never happy and I'm sick all the time. That's okay, no problem. That's fine.
Adal
I bruise easily and I'm always tired. I gotta see a scene. Erin, for the listeners, for the two of you, for Casey, who's always lurking right on the mic, just know Erin will listen to existence. So, JPC, you're a young teenager. You are out hanging out with friends, drinking at a graveyard, and you piss on a grave. As soon as the piss hits the grave, Erin, you spring forward as the piss witch, and you are what presents itself to young children who piss on graves.
00:29:23
Erin
Wow, we accidentally circled right back around to Pisswitch. Kind of insane.
Adal
Accidentally.
JPC
Yeah, Mookie, whatever. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about. I gotta take a piss. Here we go. Unzip, in case you don't need to put side effects to this. And piss. Oh no. Pardon me. I'm so sorry. Were you laying on the ground? What's going on?
Erin
Are you insane? You're peeing on my grave? You're insane.
JPC
Oh shit.
Erin
Are you peeing on my grave?
JPC
What are you some sort of ghost or something?
Erin
Um, yeah. Okay. Fucking rude. You know what? Let me pee on you. Eye for an eye. Pee for a pee. You want that? You want Ghost to pee on you?
JPC
Ghost to piss?
Erin
Yeah, Ghost piss.
JPC
What is this, a podcast crossover? Yep. Some people will get that reference.
Erin
Ghost piss.
JPC
Yeah, I mean, I guess I did you wrong.
Erin
Ew, no. If you're into it, no. Then no.
00:30:23
JPC
What? I'm not... You want me to get naked first?
Erin
No! Ew!
JPC
You want me to take off all my clothes and have a ghost piss on me and then I piss back on you?
Erin
Ew, gross. Sure.
JPC
Okay, I mean, let's look. No one wants to do this, by the way. I'm 18. I know I'm a kid, but like, I'm a kid. I'm an adult. I'm a consenting adult in this instance. And nobody wants to do this, but I'll just undress. You're already obviously a ghost.
Erin
I'm 300. Is that okay? Okay.
JPC
I mean, as long as the power imbalance is, as long as the power dynamic is the same, I don't necessarily think that there's a problem with the age dynamic having a, 318, that's a huge gap. But maybe it's like so big of a gap that it's like it doesn't even matter anymore.
Erin
Here comes your friend, here comes your friend. Hey.
???
What are you doing over here? Oh, who's this? Gagagagoy, she's old. Get lost, man. I'm about to get pissed off. Okay, tell me everything, okay?
JPC
Oh, brother, I'm gonna tell you every sticky icky drip of it. Oh yeah, get it, get it. All right, let's do our best friend high five. Normal high five.
00:31:33
Erin
I went back in the ground.
JPC
Hey, come on, come out. You want a little more? I got plenty of piss. I ate two coffees today.
Erin
At 18, that's not good for you.
Adal
Go ahead and pee again and I'll just stand here and watch. Wait, what? Can you do that? Can you beat while someone else is watching you?
Erin
Yeah. Wait, what are you kids doing out here?
???
I'm the one who's the keeper of the grave.
JPC
The grave robber. It's a grave robber. It's a grave robber. He's got a saber and a pistol. And a little bag full of feet.
???
No.
Erin
Unseen. Unseen. What else about this guy? He's got a chance for it.
Adal
He's got a pay.
Erin
I just cleaned Mustache as big as his head.
Adal
When she's a cowboy boot, when she's a croc, what else?
Erin
Now the podcast is so dirty, it's going to break my vacuum.
Adal
JPC, I have to ask, what is Ghostpiss?
JPC
Oh, Ghost Piss is a reference to the campaign podcast. I had a spoiler alert for the campaign podcast. One of my characters died on the show, and then came back as a ghost and covered things with Ghost Piss. Millions of gallons of Ghost Piss. It was such a sexual thing.
00:32:46
Adal
But that was a few years ago? What is time? It's how we measure... What the fuck is time? Who knows man? Who knows? Well as we figure out and debate what time is, why don't we take a quick break. We don't know how long it's going to be because time has no meaning, but whenever it ends we'll be right back.
Erin
I know what you're thinking. Do I have a new hat, Adal and JPC? New haircut? Why am I walking around with so much confidence?
Adal
I bet you're wondering. I wanted pretzels from the food court.
JPC
And I was just going to let you know that it looks like you leaned on paint.
Erin
Anyways, I just had a bunch of subscriptions canceled for me by Rocket Money that I wasn't using until now I'm flushed with cash and now I'm confident. Pretzel money? Well, maybe. We'll talk about that. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that finds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. I've been using it for years, even before they were a sponsor.
00:33:55
JPC
Erin, it looks like you may have leaned on like with someone painting a rocket money like billboard or sign or something because it's all it's all down your back it's like and it's I could ock it ock it
Erin
People think they're spending $80 on their subscriptions when in reality, the number is closer to $200. And when you signed up for so many free trials, like streaming services, you watch one show and then you completely forget about it. You lose track and then all of a sudden you're like, why am I bleeding money? Rocket money? They take care of that for you. They go, sit back, relax. We got this. And they make everything color coded and easy and super intuitive.
Adal
You're also color-coded. A little birdie told me that Rocket Money also lets you monitor all your expenses in one place, recommends custom budgets based on your past spending, and they'll even send you notifications when you've reached your spending limits, which sounds like something my friend would like, but I forget which friend I'm so hungry for pretzels.
JPC
Speaking of pretzels, you don't get all twisted up by salty and the bread of your finances. With over 3 million users and counting, Rocket Money customers have saved an average of $720 a year.
00:35:05
Erin
Stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and manage your money the easy way by going to rocketmoney.com slash riddle. That's rocketmoney.com slash riddle. rocketmoney.com slash r-i-d-d-l-e.
JPC
Hey, what's going on? Somebody leaned over my rocket money paint thing. Run. Everybody run. Run.
Adal
Is that DaVinci?
Erin
Yeah. Yes.
JPC
And bye. Well we figured it out time. Flat circle. Flat eight really because it's infinity and it's just kind of like on its side and we don't have the perspective to say well we figured it out.
Adal
Yeah if you could see the doodles that we made and the cork board with the red thread you'd be on board.
Erin
We just took the same edibles that Adal did on New Jersey.
JPC
We took a German Shepherd and crossed it with a poodle. So that, like, yeah, we've... a... poodle.
00:36:09
Adal
And we're all on the same page. Clifford the Big Red Dog is an analogy for a period. Nothing.
Erin
It's not. It's nothing.
Adal
So start using that. You can start saying like, I'd love to hang out, but I'm busy.
Erin
I think you're not allowed to talk about periods anymore.
Adal
My big red dog is here.
Erin
I think that you're... In 11 months, send me a text and I'll let you know if you're allowed to talk about periods again on the show.
JPC
I think, Adal, if you have a daughter, then you can start talking about periods. But until then, you just can't.
Adal
But what if my favorite Pearl Jam song is... If one of your kids has a uterus, you can talk about it.
JPC
That's a Pearl Jam song? Yup. Okay, this next one, this is a Riddle here, submission. It's actually a whole game submission coming from Blair, she her, from Virginia. And Blair says that a friend shared the podcast with me and I've listened to the entire archive of HHR. H.R.R. in about a third of the Patreon. You know, since they sent the email, but you know, I hope she listens to the rest of the Patreon. There's some pretty good stuff in there. So she sent an email to me specifically. So this riddle is best for a day when you're old man puzzles. If you're Erin or Adal, stop reading now. So I think that that means Blair's just giving you blanket permission to never read again, which is, that sounds wonderful.
00:37:28
Erin
Hallelujah!
Adal
Fuck you, Knowledge. Merry Christmas, Ignorance. Merry Christmas, you old savings and loan. I think, I can't tell, but just going off the shape of the building, I assume it's a savings and loan?
JPC
I don't read it anymore. A building type that doesn't exist anymore, but I'm like, yeah, savings and loan, that's something. She said that she was listening to the live show, the live show at Caviar in New York City, which was right before the pandemic, and we're still in the past.
Adal
It feels like 10 years ago, and that was 2020.
JPC
I was a totally different person then. She came up with this game called, I have nipples, Fokker. Can you milk me the musical? Perfect. She's taken some famous lines and replaced nipples and milk with keywords slash song titles, lyrics, assorted pieces of musics, and you have to guess the musical. And so there's an example. Would you like to hear the example? Yes, please. Okay, so I have nipples, Fokker. Can you milk me the musical? Here's your example. I have green skin, Fokker. Can you fly high defying gravity with me? That is the musical. Easy Shrek.
00:38:34
Erin
You're not wrong, wrong.
JPC
What if Shrek the Musical was just a straight-up copy of Wicked? I would fucking love that.
Erin
Something has changed within me. Something is not the same.
Adal
Swampular. I wanna be swamp-ular.
Erin
You know what guys, the old us would have gone down a rabbit hole and done this for 25 minutes, but we're older and wiser.
Adal
And we will. And in the morning I'm making waffles. Okay, here's your next one.
???
It worked out great, Adal.
JPC
That was actually really well. Thank you. I have my signature on the US Constitution, Fokker. Can you rat battle me?
Erin
Hamilton.
JPC
Yeah, a total reskinning of that musical to Shrek would be also very cool.
Adal
I gotta say the context clues are not necessarily hidden terribly well.
Erin
I'm having fun anyway. That's who I am.
JPC
When this salesman dies, milk, Fokker, his children... I do think Blair specifically said that you two would have more fun guessing these since you know musicals. But so far, I feel like your knowledge of musicals makes this hardly a challenge at all. I have a master of the house, Fokker. Can you dream a dream of me? Les Mis.
00:39:50
Adal
That would be... I have to say, just a few weeks ago I was in New York and I saw the new production of Company that I wanted to take Erin to. It was unbelievable. If you get a chance to see that, it's one of the best Broadway shows I've ever seen in my life.
Erin
I love Sondheim, and I love Company.
Adal
And I love it at the lady. I didn't think I liked it at all, and then I saw that production and I was like, this is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. It's so good.
JPC
I have a matchmaker, Fokker. Can you make me a rich man? Fiddler on the Roof! Annie. Soddenheim Classic Fiddler on the Roof. Nope. I have a politician husband, Fokker. Can you cry for me?
Erin
What is Avita? He supports you, for he loves you, understand you, is one of you. If not, how could he love me? Anytime I'm on a balcony, anywhere, I sing that song.
Adal
Wow.
Erin
Any balcony, I will do that.
Adal
Wow. Pretty good. How can I use this against her? Balcony Bartolomew.
JPC
Every once in a while, Erin will let slip a piece of personal identifiable information like I will sing the song on a balcony and my brain goes, you can exploit this. Save us. Save us. Keep this in a pouch. Use this against her. Do it.
00:41:03
Adal
I'm already mentally loading up in case there's one that it's a clue to get us to guess rent. I already have loaded up, uh, I should milk you, I should milk you, Focker milk you, I should milk you.
Erin
Gross. Another time. Another place.
JPC
I have a dancing Queen Focker. Can you sing an ABBA song for me?
Adal
Mama, see ya. Here we chandelier.
JPC
I have Whiskers Focker, can you rum-tum-tug me? That one works. Yowser. Cats, KATZ. Yeah, Cats with a Z, that is my favorite one so far. I have a scrappy little dog Focker, can you love me tomorrow? Annie. JPC.
Adal
Nice to meet you. What is Annie's dog's name, I forget.
Erin
Sandy. Is it?
Adal
Mm-hmm.
JPC
I thought you were setting her up for that.
Adal
Sandy?
Erin
Yeah, Sandy.
JPC
I truly forgot. I think I'm a dead king father. Can you love me tonight? The king and dead. I think that she forgot to put Fokker into that. That's okay. No, it's not the King and Death. That's a very good guess, Adal. It is not Camelot, Erin. And go ahead, whenever you're giving answers, don't shout them into the cup of coffee that you're drinking.
00:42:23
Adal
We have Erin Keif on the line from old-timey radio. Erin, are you here?
Erin
I don't care anymore just put me in a little rowboat then kick me off. Send me out to sea. Did they have iced coffee at sea? At King Father.
JPC
I have a dead king father, Fokker. Can you feel my love tonight? Oh, a Lion King. Thank you. I have a paper job, Fokker. Can you dance on newspaper sheets for me?
Erin
Newsies. I just watched Newsies yesterday.
???
Is that Dave?
JPC
Erin, can you get a clip of you saying I just watched Newsies yesterday and just plug it into any episode and I feel like it would be true.
Erin
Yeah, whatever. Whatever. It's so good.
JPC
I have an unplanned pregnancy, Fokker. Can you bake a pie for me? Oh this is Waitress. That is Waitress, correct.
00:43:25
Erin
Nipples, milk, fucker. My hands pluck the things I know that I'll need. I have all that jazz, Fokker.
JPC
You convict me of murder? Oh, Chicago. That is Chicago. Adal, you ready? Yes. You're on deck here. Oh. I have a preposterously high housing bill, Fokker. Can you measure a year in love for me?
???
I should milk you. I should milk you. Oh, you Fokker.
Erin
I should milk you. No! Another time. That's my favorite part.
JPC
Okay, there you go. I have a human blood-drinking plant, Fokker. Can you feed me some more? Adal favorite.
Adal
Little shopper nipples, milkshapop.
JPC
Okay, and this is the last one that she included. I have self-offered fake letters, Fokker. Can you wave through a window to me? That's Dear Evan Hansen. Wow, that is Dear Evan Hansen. Erin, you were strangely silent on that one.
00:44:30
???
When I'm falling in the forest, and there's no one else around. Did you ever win that, or even make a sound?
Adal
No, Erin, we have to sing the best song.
???
All you see is sky forever.
Adal
Erin, we have to sing the best song. Which one? I have this baseball glove. I punch it once or twice. I put it in the microwave. Baseball glove. The baseball glove.
Erin
Is that from that?
Adal
Yeah, I can't remember the lyrics, but it's from the song. I blocked it from my memory.
JPC
Alright, well thank you so much. I have a game now for you. This is a JPC original. And I think this game is going to be very difficult. So I'm going to tell you the way that this game is played. This game is called Berry, Berry, or Berry. So the way that we're going to play this game is I'm going to give you a prompt. And you have to tell me if it's Berry, Berry, or Berry. So it can either be a berry, you know, like a fruit that you would eat, someone, an actor from the HBO show, Barry, or a deceased celebrity who has been buried. So Barry, Barry, or Barry. Now the way that you chime in for this game is you say Barry, and then you give me your answer. Okay?
???
Got it.
JPC
You guys ready to play? Yes. Okay. Here you go. Bill Hader. Barry. Adal? Barry. All right. Sorry. No, I can't. Okay. John Candy. Barry. Aaron.
00:45:42
???
Buried.
JPC
I don't understand what you're saying. Strawberry. Barry. Barry. Uh, Adal? Barry. Barry, correct. Uh, Darryl Britt Gibson.
???
Barry.
JPC
I'm sorry, I heard Adal first. Buried? Oh, that's actually Barry. Huckleberry.
???
Barry.
JPC
Aaron.
???
Barry.
JPC
That's a Barry. Alejandro Firth.
???
Barry.
JPC
Barry, I heard Adal first.
Erin
Doesn't matter, Adal, you're gonna be right.
Adal
Hold on, I gotta get this right. Uh, Barry? Because it might be Barry. I think it's Barry.
JPC
Yes, he was on Barry. Paul Newsom.
Adal
Barry.
JPC
Uh, Adal, I heard you just a little bit sooner.
???
What is going on?
JPC
Uh, no, an actor from Barry. Uh, Goose Barry.
???
Barry.
JPC
Barry. Aaron.
???
Barry.
JPC
That is a Barry. You are two for two for Barry's. Aubrey Hepburn.
???
Barry. Barry.
JPC
Uh, yes? Aaron?
???
Barry.
JPC
No, I misspoke. Audrey Hepburn is buried. Aubrey Hepburn is no one. Henry Winkler. Barry. Adal. I want to say he's married? Yes. I'll have to double check that. So, he's on Barry. Linganberry.
00:46:51
???
Barry.
JPC
Erin?
???
Barry.
JPC
That isn't Barry. You are three for three. Linganberries died though.
???
You don't know what I was saying.
JPC
Sarah Goldberg.
???
Barry.
JPC
Barry. Erin.
???
Barry.
JPC
Yes, she is one of the female leads on Barry. Boys in Barry. Barry. That is a Barry. Steven Root.
Erin
Excuse me, I wasn't saying Barry, I was buzzing in to say Barry.
JPC
Okay, you have to buzz in before you give your answer.
Erin
Steven Root.
JPC
Steven Root. Steven Root in office space scary. Okay, I'm sorry, that is a root vegetable, not a Barry. Dennis Hopper.
???
Barry? Barry.
JPC
He's Barry, correct. Goji Barry.
???
Barry. Erin?
JPC
That is a berry. You're five for five with berries. How are we doing this?
???
She's on a roll.
Adal
Erin, is this your dream Jeopardy round?
???
Uh, no.
Adal
That's incorrect. Bernie Mac. Erin?
JPC
Yes, correct. Hack berry. Erin? I'm sorry, that's a totally big thing to say about Bertie Back. He was a fairy fight comedian, I think, calling him a hackberry.
00:47:57
Erin
Come on, I'm seven for seven.
JPC
John Redder?
Erin
Berry.
JPC
Erin?
Erin
Berry.
JPC
Yes, correct.
???
Clifford.
JPC
No, Clifford. Yes, I'm sorry, John Redder is Clifford. The Big Red Berry. Period. And finally, Darcy Cardin.
???
Berry. Berry. Erin? Berry.
JPC
Yes, she is on Berry. Season 3 of HBO's Barry coming soon. We don't know. The release date has not been announced. Barry, Barry, Barry. It will be. It's just right around the corner.
???
Hey, TPC.
Adal
I have to ask. Yes. Did Barry pay you for this promotional plug?
JPC
I'm willing to be paid by Barry for this promotional plug.
Erin
Hey, TPC. And I have to tell you, that was very fun.
JPC
Okay. Very fun. You'll love next week when we play NoHo or Hank Williams. What? Where I give you in a... I give you a neighborhood and you have to tell me... Is it a place that egg Williams is?
Erin
Saves us with a Patreon. Normally we do games this stupid on the Patreon.
Adal
Yeah, save this for December and we'll play Merry Christmas.
JPC
Okay, save the judgment for... Gavel, gavel, gavel. All right, here we go, here we go. This is another Riddle from Jonathan. Jonathan writes, hey guys, I really do love the podcast and every segment is my favorite segment.
00:49:10
Adal
That's not sarcastic. Can you read it sarcastically? I really do love the podcast and every segment is my favorite. Thank you.
JPC
Okay. I wanted to write a radio puzzle for you guys, so I came up with this one. It's kind of shitty, but I hope you enjoy it.
Adal
Barry... So he thinks we enjoy shit.
JPC
Yeah, that's probably true. And... He's not wrong. Barry has a GED, which is an okay life choice. This is editorializing by Jonathan and works at a gas station.
Adal
Sorry, no judgment. Is seriously the name Barry? Yeah. Are you joking? No. This is another thing where he's going to read a whole riddle and it's going to be revealed at the end. It was JPC the whole time. The clues are related.
Erin
I didn't like that. I don't like being tricked.
JPC
I told you last time, the last riddle that we did, I told you who wrote it. It was me. I did the Barry game. No one else did the Barry game. No one else would have done the Barry game but me. Because it's not a game. It's nothing. It's nothing. It's just a thing to do. It's just words to say. It's nothing. Barry has a GED, which is an okay life choice, and works at a gas station, no choice from it. He got off late and quickly went home to let his dog out. When he got home, he realized it was too late, and that his pet beetle Shitbird had also gotten loose. He knew exactly where Shitbird had escaped to, but he put Shitbird in his terrarium, and then he let his dog outside before cleaning up. Shitbird's terrarium was not visible when he got home, and Barry has no special insect knowledge. How did he know Shipbird had gotten out and where to find him? I'm sorry. It's not that Shipbird's terrarium was not visible when he got home. Shipbird was not visibly in the terrarium, I think, when he got home. And Shipbird's the dog? Shipbird is his pet beetle. Beetle? Mm-hmm. Okay. How did he know that Shipbird had gotten out and where to find him?
00:51:02
Adal
He's flying around, the light bulb.
JPC
Beatles do love the light. The limelight, huh? We're all watching that documentary of the little Beatles documentary.
Erin
Get back? It was excellent.
JPC
I didn't watch it.
Erin
I loved it.
JPC
I'll be honest, I don't give a shit about the Beatles. You should. There's only one good British rock band and it is Oasis, maybe.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
Did you know that Liam Gallagher believes he's the reincarnation of John Lennon? I believe he's the reincarnation of John Lennon.
Erin
This is confusing. So he couldn't see his terrarium when he came in.
Adal
He couldn't see the beetle in the terrarium.
Erin
That's how we know he's out of it though.
JPC
What Jonathan has written was he put Shitbird in his terrarium and then let his dog outside before cleaning up. Oh, I'm sorry. I was reading this a little bit wrong. So, but I'll put it in the extra context. So when he got home, he realized it was too late and that his pet beetle Shitbird had also gotten loose. He knew exactly where Shitbird had escaped to. He knew exactly where Shitbird had escaped. That's important. So he put Shitbird in his terrarium and then let his dog outside before cleaning up. Shitbird's terrarium was not visible when he got home. So let's assume it was like in another room or something. And Barry has no special insect knowledge. So then how did he know when he got home that Shitbird had gotten out and where to find him?
00:52:17
Adal
The dog had a big beetle bite right on his fucking butt hole.
JPC
The dog had a big beetle bite right on his fucking butt hole.
Erin
The dog was barking.
JPC
No. No, no, no. If the dog was barking, that is not Jermaine to the situation.
Adal
Oh, the Jackson Five. Thank you. Jermaine. Clearly this, so this riddle has to be written by this person who sent it because I assume he named the beetle Shipbird after JPC's expression in episode, I want to say like four or five, when you call us all Shipbirds.
JPC
You can say that Shipbird is my Pisswitch.
Erin
Um, TPC. I don't know. Can you give me a hand?
JPC
Yeah, so really what we're talking about here is that Shipbird has escaped from the terrarium. The terrarium's not visible, except Barry knows exactly where Shipbird is and how to find him as soon as he gets home.
00:53:18
Adal
Is it a dung beetle? Adal? And it's just lounging on the dog's shit.
JPC
Bingo bingo hot-a-tot. Shipbird is a dung beetle, and there was a trail of dung leading straight to Shipbird. Hell yeah.
Erin
Nice.
JPC
That dog shit in the house and the shit bird said, ooh baby. Give me something good.
Erin
Why?
Adal
The two of you are dung beetles. You're on a first date. Erin you have taken the two of you, you've taken JPC on the first date to a huge pile of dog shit.
Erin
So I'm just showing you where we're not eating.
JPC
And let's keep walking. What's wrong with this place? Have you been here? Is it not good?
Erin
I just thought for a first date, there's a French restaurant that's supposed to be really, really good. It's on the corner. I thought maybe we could do wine and cheese and a thing.
JPC
Yeah. No, it's on the corner because this is right here. Because I know the chef, the dog who made it, and I do, I like some of his other work, I must say.
00:54:27
Erin
Oh yeah, I just thought maybe because it's our first date and there's been like a lot building up to this since we've been friends for so long that I thought we could do something special and sort of out of the ordinary. But if you're so starving right now.
JPC
4.8 stars on Yelp. I just looked it up. Well, I was listening, but I just looked at a 4.8 stars on Yelp. I mean, that's a high Yelp score.
Erin
So your heart seems like it's pretty set on this. I'm gonna go and run and like just make sure they know that I wasn't being rude to ignore the reservation and like maybe if I want to eat there. Maybe we can meet up after dinner. That's probably for the best.
JPC
I gotta be honest with you. I'm gonna be pretty full after dinner.
Erin
Okay.
Adal
So... We cut to the French restaurant. Bonjour. You have a reservation?
Erin
Yes, for two, but I'll be eating alone tonight.
Adal
Oh, oh no. Merde, merde. Well, as you know, we cannot actually seat just one. We are a French restaurant, meaning all of our shit is sourced ass to table from a French bulldog.
00:55:29
Erin
Oh, I don't want that.
Adal
Oh. What did you speak?
Erin
I thought, I just thought that this could be different and we could eat human food. Forget it.
Adal
It's whatever. Apologies. Maybe I need my glasses. You are a dumb biter.
Erin
Fuck you, man. Fuck you. I don't need this. Wait, please leave me alone.
JPC
Members, you left the restaurant in such a hurry, you forgot your scarf.
Erin
Oh, thank you.
JPC
You're very welcome. I would hate to see a beautiful long beetle like yourself catch a cold in this winter temperature.
Erin
You're so sweet. Sorry, I'm having such a bad day.
JPC
I was supposed to go on a date and he didn't like the restaurant I picked and then I just... He didn't, but this is one of the best restaurants in all of the neighborhood. He didn't like this restaurant?
Adal
When we see their antennae start to entwine.
Erin
No, he didn't.
JPC
Then he was a... a dull-altered, boring, dumb beach-hole, and he did not deserve to deign to walk the same grounds that you walk.
00:56:34
Erin
Wait a second. Todd?
JPC
Look, I loved that place, and if you just try it, it's just like a fight. Oh man, that dung beetle, honestly? To circle back and go back on your date after you just ate a big pile of dog shit? And courageable. That is the move. All right, you guys ready for one more frickin' riddle?
???
Yes, Ms.
JPC
Daddy. Okay, so here we go. This one is from Tino. Tino says, love the podcast. Thanks. Thanks, Tino. Yeah. The day after Halloween, Kevin is pushed off the top of a 10-story building. Three facts are known. The impact should have been enough to kill him. He died during the fall and no one in nothing interrupted his descent. How is this possible?
Adal
He fell off the top of a three-story tin building.
JPC
It's a ten-story building.
Adal
Ten-story building.
JPC
Yeah. And three facts are known. The three facts are the impact should have been enough to kill him. He died during the fall and no one in nothing interrupted his descent.
00:57:37
Erin
So he fell off the top of the building because he got like shot on the top of the building or poisoned.
JPC
Um, no. No. No. Yeah. Cause I don't know if that would say like interrupted his descent, but no, he wasn't, he was, he was very much alive when he was pushed. He died from a descent into madness. Oh, interesting. No, that can't kill you. It can only make you stranger.
Erin
Oh God. Yeah.
Adal
That's your Dr. Strange impression? Yeah.
JPC
That's my Dr. Strange love impression. Nuclear bombs. You like a hint?
Erin
Yeah. Is that okay?
JPC
Um, yeah, let's see. Maybe I'll just reread the riddle. The riddle? Read the riddle. Okay, so the day after Halloween, Kevin is pushed off the top of a 10-story building. Three facts are known. The impact should have been enough to kill him. He died during the fall, and no one in nothing interrupted him.
Adal
Oh, I think I know it. What's the guy's name? Kevin. I think Kevin is a scarecrow. I think Kevin died during the fall, the season, because he's made from dried corn husk. And I think the day after Halloween, they're taking down decorations and somebody just tossed them off the roof to say,
00:58:53
JPC
I love that answer. Sure. Is that right? I mean, no, but I love that answer. That's not right. Well, the real answer is skeleton. The impact should have been enough to kill him because it was enough to kill him. That's how he died. He died as a person who died being shoved off a 10 story building.
Erin
Is that true?
JPC
Yeah, because he died during the fall and the day was after Halloween. So when it says that he died during the fall, it means he died during the seasonal fall. But yes, getting shoved off the building. That was more than enough. That was more than enough. Tino says, Tino says, yeah, I know it's nub. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Tino. Wow. We still love your handcrafted vodka, Tino. Thank you so much for your handcrafted vodka. Okay.
Adal
You're okay?
Erin
No.
Adal
What's going on? You seem upset.
Erin
I'm just annoyed. I just came all the way over here to the podcast. I just came all the way over here and just to be like this disrespected like this.
00:59:55
JPC
All right, Erin. That's fair. We've disrespected you a lot this episode, so you should get to be first. Do you have anything that you would like to plug?
Erin
I would like to plug calling your period Clifford, getting your Clifford, your big dog. No, I'm lying. I have nothing to plug. Oh, I do. Just follow me, Erin Keif 10, on Instagram. I have a podcast that's coming out in February. So if you want to hear more about that, go follow me over there.
Adal
Hell yeah. Okay, Adal, anything to plug? Yes, I want to plug. I don't know if we've plugged this yet, so I'll go ahead and say it again. Sorry if it's the second time. The three of us guested recently on a podcast called Sound Deals with the hilarious British comedians Max and Yvonne. They've been on our show. We just guested on their show recently, so check that episode out. It should be out now.
JPC
Oh, I think that's for the second season of their show, and it is not out yet, and I don't know when it's coming out.
Adal
And then I also want to plug in another podcast I guested on. This is by our dear friend Alex Nichols. This is a new podcast he has called Destination Passport. I had a very good time on that, so please check out Destination Passport and Sound Deals.
01:01:02
JPC
JPC, anything to plug? Speaking of shows that we all were on together, we were all also on the last episode of the year for Mandog Pod. That's right! I believe it is a Patreon-only episode of their show, but if you don't listen to their Patreon, you absolutely should. They do have a free show as well.
Adal
The episode is absolutely worth it just to hear Erin do her Nicole Kidman impression.
JPC
That is very, very, very good. That is Mandog Pod. You can find it pretty much wherever you find podcasts. It is from, I guess, half of the Teachers Lounge crew, Dan Lippert and Ryan Rosenberg.
Erin
I'm a big fan.
JPC
We're doing more pop music reviews because that's what the whole show is, so enjoy that. And check out their Patreon. JPC, what are you playing on Twitch these days? Dude, you know what? At the very end of last year, I got back into playing Hades. I'll go on the record as saying Hades was my game of the year for 2020. Game of the year for 2021? Gotta give it up to Hades.
01:02:18
Erin
How's that possible?
JPC
Very, very narrowly slipped in there at the end of the year, Game of the Year 2021. Strong contender for Game of the Year 2022. A lot of replayability. Hey, I gotta say, companies, game companies out there, you keep putting up really bad games, but playing Halo? Very shitty game. Very full of bugs. Playlists are all fucked up.
Adal
Erin, there is a new game. I don't know if you've heard about this. It's from the creators of Hades and it's versus sort of following mythology. It's actually following interstellar travel. And there's a Roman god. So I guess it still involves mythology.
???
Oh, he's falling asleep while he's talking.
Erin
He's falling asleep.
JPC
But Erin, Supergiant Games, very cool company. So I'd go for it.
Erin
I'd say Jupiter.
JPC
Bye forever.
Erin
Oh, you can't sleep.
???
Good night sweet Adal.
Adal
I should milk you. I should not sleep.
