Which Riddle Riddle?

#187: Edge of the Couch w/ Elizabeth Andrews

00:00:02

???

This is a HeadGum podcast.

???

So a few seconds of silence and then we'll be all good. Okay, that'll do it. Thank you so much.

Elizabeth

Thank you.

JPC

All right, Elizabeth, great having you on.

Elizabeth

Again, this episode comes out on the sixth heat. She's waving. Okay, bye Casey. Sorry. He comes back, right?

Adal

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's dead. That was a pre-recording from 2017.

???

Hello, this is Dean Friday.

Adal

Anybody have an intro bit? I have one. Oh, please. I have one, and there'll be a part where you can... What do I want to say?

00:01:08

Erin

Hey Adal, don't worry about that.

Adal

Do not even worry about it.

Erin

JPC, he has to say don't fuck up my bit. He's asking us to not fuck up his bit.

Adal

There will be a part where it's almost like a rhetorical question almost immediately and I want you both to say no to it. Okay, gotcha.

JPC

You didn't have to tell me because I wouldn't have anyway, but... JPC, Erin Keif, you Riddle is... No.

Adal

What?

JPC

No.

Adal

Come on, man.

JPC

Wait a second. Hold on. Wait. I can't be the asshole here. Before we started recording, you said, go with this and say no almost immediately. Did you not?

Adal

I'm going to ask a rhetorical, we're going to restart this.

Erin

Oh, okay. I'm sitting up straight in my desk and I'm listening so good.

JPC

Battle, by the way, we are not restarting this. We are not restarting this. I don't know what, I'm not a fucking college graduate. I don't know what this $8 word rhetorical means, but I did exactly as I was told to do.

Adal

So you think a rhetorical question is when somebody says JPC.

JPC

Ooh, there he goes again. There he goes again with this $14 college word.

Erin

JPC's acting like a 24 year old boy who just realized that sometimes improv is not just about yes and. It can be no but.

00:02:17

JPC

It can be. First of all, I did nothing wrong. I refuse to acknowledge that again.

Erin

Hi Riddle. What were you about to say Adal? What were you going to say?

Adal

I was going to say, JPC, Erin Keif, Riddlers. Okay. This mission, should you choose to accept it? And then I was hoping you would both say, we don't. And then I would be like, oh, well, do you want to hear the mission? And you both go, nope, we're good. Something like that. How is that effectively different from what I did?

Erin

Let's try it.

Adal

Both ideas, we don't hear the mission. Sort of like a Charlie's Angels, but like you're both not into it.

Erin

We got it. We got it. Let's start over. We got it. Okay. Okay.

Adal

JPC. I'm blonde. Huh? I'm blonde. James Bond?

Erin

I got it. I got it. I know my life.

Adal

You know what? When I was first going through improv, this is my level one class of improv. There was a 16 year old that I think you were supposed to be 18 in class, but they allowed this kid. But 16 of the streets? 16 of the streets. They allowed the 16 year old guy to take classes and he vied for power in every single scene to where literally week two, week two, he literally played Metal God with a gun. He's like, I'm God, I'm made of metal. And then he pulled out a handgun.

00:03:38

Erin

OK, he sounds like he's awesome and good at improv.

Adal

And the class was crying, laughing, but not for the reasons he thought.

JPC

That's so funny because every every like under like 18 or around that age person I ever had in classes was like meek and shy. And they were like, they always like held back. So it's so funny to be 16 and be like, In a class we were like 22 year olds and 24 year olds to be like nope I'm going for it.

Adal

Yeah, and this is I mean the class was like Aidy Bryant was in her class It was stacked with talent and this guy had the confidence of a god made of metal holding a gun That's that's incredible.

Erin

What is your job now?

JPC

I don't know. I truly don't want to blow up anyone's spot, but I did a class where I think that this person was still in high school, but they were 18. Dead garbage man. Sorry, JVZ, go ahead. They were still in high school, but they were 18. They were taking a level one or maybe it was like a level two class, but they were in class and they were sitting in the front row and in the back row before class were starting. There were two women in class who were in their early twenties, but one of them was sharing like a hookup story like with the other woman and just like telling her about how she had sex with someone like the other night. And this guy was sitting right in front, great for her. This guy was sitting right in front of them and his face was like beet red, but they couldn't see, they couldn't see him. But he was like very reserved, very like very high school, very sheltered, just listening to this like kind of raunchy story. And I was just, I was laughing so hard inside, but I was like, I think I got to start class like seven minutes early just to like save this guy, save this guy from hearing the rest of the story.

00:05:11

Adal

Let's do some pre-warm warm ups.

Erin

That's Adal Rifai, and that's DPC, and I'm Erin Keif, and welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle. There you go. See, you knew your line. We have a guest today, and I don't want to wait anymore. I cannot wait. She is one of my best friends in the whole world. One of the funniest people that's ever walked the planet, and I think most people would agree. Her name's Elizabeth Andrews. Hi Elizabeth, thank you for being here.

Elizabeth

Hey guys, it's really nice to be here. Thanks for having me.

JPC

Thanks for being on Elizabeth. We are exact to have you here. Elizabeth, let me ask you, when Erin introduced you as one of her best friends and then said that you're one of the funniest people, did that kind of undercut it? Because in my opinion, if it's like, hey, this is Adal Rifai. I love the guy to death. He's also very funny. It's like, yeah, you know the guy, of course. Like that's one of your, that's your boy.

Elizabeth

Like, yeah. She's being kind of territorial.

Erin

I'm sorry, she's my best friend, but I'm not her best friend. I have to say that. I'm not her best friend, she's my best friend. Okay, sorry.

00:06:17

JPC

I'm gonna try it. Hey everybody, this is Elizabeth Andrews. I don't know her for me. I never fucking met this person. One of the funniest people of in the five minutes. One of the funniest people I've ever met. I don't fucking know him, but she's funny.

Elizabeth

Hopefully I can deliver too. You're really like hyping me up hot and it's like here I come. Hello listeners.

Adal

I remember in a hangout context, I wanted to introduce someone to someone else and I said, this is blank, blank, this is one of my best friends. And my friend goes, you still say best friends. I'm like, oh, I guess I should stop using that term after the age of 60.

Elizabeth

I would have burst into tears. I say one of my best friends, so it really gives people the illusion that I got lots going on.

JPC

One of a bevy, one of a bevy of besties. Adal, first of all, I think that you can still say best friends. I think that that person was completely wrong. You were the guy who did it. Yeah, well at the moment, it made more sense for me to kind of cut everybody else down, trying to elevate myself. You understand being the king of a social situation, right? I don't think I can find this at you guys.

00:07:26

Erin

You have to climb on top of your friends to get to the top of the social aisle, don't you understand?

JPC

Here's what happens. Adal introduces me to her friend. I turn around and shoot Adal on the head and say, I'm the king of friends now.

Erin

I'm the king of friends.

JPC

I just, a spot just opened up for my new friend who wants to take it. I love the movie Captain Phillips.

Erin

So, Elizabeth. Oh yeah. What is your relationship with riddles and puzzles? Did you like sort of lateral thinking problems growing up? Yeah, I knew you were going to ask me this.

Elizabeth

Um, and I got a- Gotta break the reality. I knew you were gonna ask me. So I have my papers. Um, no, I was like, what would I say if they asked me this? And this is what I would say is I think riddles my relationship with them. Um, I, they piss me off. Um, they're like, like magic. There's a level of dupery that I do not, I do not appreciate.

00:08:26

Adal

I don't know if I've ever heard the term level of dupery but I'm now absolutely gonna use it in every day of my life.

JPC

That's wild Adal because you and I saw you me and dupery together.

Elizabeth

It was really sad when the dog dupery died.

Adal

Wait a minute. I forgot about dupery dog going down.

Elizabeth

Dupery dog died at the end of the movie.

Erin

What was I going to say? Elizabeth, I know what you mean. Magic makes me mad too, and Riddles. But for your 28th birthday party, we went to a magic show.

Elizabeth

I needed to stare it straight on. I'm not going to be afraid of it. Yeah, and you saw me there. The man came by and did close-up magic, and I told him what I thought.

Adal

Elizabeth, I admire, I agree with you 100% on Facing Your Fears. That's why I, at 22, fucked a clown.

Elizabeth

While they went clown?

Adal

Hooray?

JPC

At the circus in front of all three rings. That's so weird that you were afraid of that Adal because every woman that you've ever been with also fucked a clown.

00:09:32

Erin

He's the king of friendship! He's the king of friendship!

JPC

Wait, wait, what? Wait, what's going on?

Erin

Was I burnt?

JPC

Yeah, what were you actually scared of? I blacked out for a minute, what happened? Wait, can I ask Elizabeth? You said that you told that close-up magician, what was what? What did you say to this person? Did she just be like, hey, your art form's bullshit and doesn't impress me? Like, what did you do?

Elizabeth

He finished with a close-up magic trick and I said, I hate you. Yeah, she really did do that. But I said it in a way I hope that was like, I loved and hate you. Because they won't, they'll never tell you how they did it. No matter how much you ask and here's my relationship with Riddles is My uncle, every summer when I saw him, he'd have a riddle and he would give me and my sisters a riddle and then I would never be able to figure it out and I would always ask him, just tell us, just tell us the answer. And he'd be like, no, no, no, that just ruins the magic of a riddle. He was a grown up. Yeah. Just causing true, like, making my mind, it makes me so mad, it makes my blood boil.

00:10:49

Adal

I feel like everything anyone hates starts with a family instance. Oh yeah.

Elizabeth

Oh yeah.

JPC

Yeah. And that tone. No, no, no. You have to figure it out yourself.

Elizabeth

My Uncle Mike, everyone has one, and every summer I'd see him, we would pack up the car, drive 12 hours down to California from Washington State, and we'd go, Uncle Mike, what's the riddle this year? And then he would tell us. What per year? Yeah, well, we only saw him once a year.

Adal

For good reason, because he kept doing this.

Elizabeth

Yeah. And no, he was not a troll under a bridge.

JPC

Elizabeth, I worked for a magician very briefly and doing magic shows. And so I got to... Excuse me. Getting emotional? Yeah, I got choked up.

Elizabeth

You cried?

JPC

So I got to learn how a lot of the tricks were done. And now I do a riddle podcast. So I get to also learn how a lot of the riddles are written. And I got to say, on both accounts, not that impressive to know. Not as cool knowing how any of it works as you would think, so don't worry about it, you're really not missing out on much.

00:11:55

Elizabeth

But don't you feel good and mighty knowing the answer?

JPC

No, but I kind of walk around with the feeling you're describing most days anyway, so it's like I can't get it twice.

Elizabeth

Ugh, yeah.

Adal

Or the other thing I will do is, once they're done, I'll just look them dead in the eyes, try not give away any expression, and then just go, devil's work.

Erin

And walk away. You guys, this just occurred to me. Are we the bullies?

Adal

Are we the bad guys? Are we the bullies?

Erin

No. Casey said, yeah, Casey you injured that too fast.

Adal

Our symbol is a skull and crossbones.

Erin

Are we the bullies? Oh my god.

JPC

I definitely am. But when I see close-up magic, I'm always like, oh that was great, great, good job. Congratulations.

00:12:58

Adal

I don't believe that for a fucking second.

JPC

I went to the Magic Castle. I saw one of the best close-up magicians I've ever seen in my life. And I was with a friend of her friend who was a magician who was the one who got us in. And I told him, I was like, man, that was so impressive. And my friend, a magician, goes, I have no idea how he does it. And I was like, you're a magician, like you. He's like, I know how he does most of it, but that finishing trick that he does. That's what I'm telling you. No idea. And I'm like, that's impressive.

Elizabeth

That's really cool.

JPC

To me, it's like, that is a refined craft. Like, that is a... Yeah, again, I only have known like one magician as a friend of mine, but the amount of practice that he put into doing magic was insane to me.

Erin

Yeah, our spent is insane.

Adal

I used to do when I was like between the ages of maybe 10 and 14, I did a lot of magic. Like I practice a lot of magic and would like love to learn tricks and like buy stuff. And I will say the coolest trick I had was with a deck of cards. And the secret to it all was there's one card that was magnetized. And nobody could figure out how the trick I would show them was done and because no one thinks that you could like no one thinks like oh clearly there's a very thin magnet in that one playing card so

00:14:13

JPC

Well, I mean, I won't give away any magic tricks, but a lot of the times it's also like the person who's designing the illusion that really like spatially what our eyes see versus what space actually exists. It's all like it is like angles and stuff like that.

Elizabeth

Hey Riddle. What about the ones, these are the ones that really get me going, are the ones where they're like, oh, give me your wedding ring. And they tie it to a balloon and then it flies away. And then they're like, but look right around your ear. And then they're like, is this your wedding ring? And they're like, yeah. And I'm like, how? Or when they're like, they're like, what am I thinking? And then they're able to know. I'm like, that's freaks, the freaky jeepies out of me. I don't like it when they float.

00:15:19

Adal

Erin, you're thinking of it.

Erin

Yeah, okay. You're thinking of a wizard.

Adal

I do see a scene. I'd like to see a scene. Elizabeth, if you don't mind, you are going to be a audience volunteer at a, it's not a magician, what is it called? Not a fortune teller. What's it called when they like read, not hypnotist, a term, I'd describe it. When someone like is like, Turn to a page in the book and I'm going to tell you what letter you turn to or something. Is that mentalist? It may be, but it's also how magicians do that as well. So you're a magician who specializes in reading people's minds. Who is? You are.

???

Oh. It's not me.

Adal

I guess you flunked that test. So JPC, you're trying to read Elizabeth's mind, but this is your first day as a mentalist and you're really struggling and hoping that she would cut you some slack.

JPC

Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Give her a round of applause. Give her a round of applause. Okay. And ma'am, we have never met. Is that correct?

00:16:19

Elizabeth

That's true.

JPC

And your name is, and I'm going to, this is, we've never met, I'm going to say Marjorie.

Elizabeth

It's Carper, actually.

JPC

Okay. You didn't let me finish. I'm going to say Marjorie, my assistant. I think her name is Carper. Usually that gets a big pop from the audience. Of course, how could I know your name? I mean, it would be insane if I... Yeah, how could you know my name?

Elizabeth

If you did, I would be frightened.

JPC

Again, Carper, is it?

Elizabeth

Carper.

JPC

Carper. Yes.

Elizabeth

Yes.

JPC

My name is The Magnificent Max, and we are going to do a little bit of mind magic today. Have you ever done mind magic before?

Elizabeth

No, I haven't, but I'm excited. That's why I sat in the front row.

JPC

Yeah, absolutely.

Elizabeth

You look nice up front.

JPC

Thank you so much. That is a compliment that I don't hear all the time. I'm sorry. It's okay. I'm not going to lie, I would love to hear it more at home. I don't hear it a lot and it took me off guard. It doesn't matter. Carper, here's what we're going to do. We're going to start out very easy, very gentle. I'm going to ease you into it. I'm going to ask you to think of a... I'm going to ask you to think of a state. One of the 50 states in the United States of America to ask you... Alabama! Okay, that's off the table now. Now we have 49 left. Do not tell me what state it is that you're thinking about. I am going to guess it by just asking you routine questions that have nothing to do with the state that you're thinking of. Does that make sense to you?

00:17:45

Elizabeth

Okay, I guess.

JPC

Are you thinking of a state?

Elizabeth

Texas, I am.

JPC

No, no. Okay, so those two are now off the board. It will not be Texas or Alabama. Again, I'll ask you questions. Just never tell me the state.

Elizabeth

That's all you have to do. Stop asking me if I do have it.

JPC

Great. I will stop asking you if you do have it. What color card do you drive?

Elizabeth

Blue.

JPC

Blue, okay.

Elizabeth

California. Blue, Colorado. Okay.

JPC

I'm sorry. You know what? Very good. Obviously, these are warm ups. I'm going to get into something a little more in depth. I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess. I'm channeling this aura from you. I'm going to try to commune at this point. I'm going to try to commune with a deceased relative. Do you have a relative that has passed away somewhere in the last year to 10 years? Someone that you do?

Elizabeth

I do. I have to say I do.

JPC

Don't tell me their name. Please, whatever you do, don't tell me their name.

00:18:47

Elizabeth

Oh, and he's a son of a bitch, though. He's a son of a bitch.

JPC

Okay, knowing the gender, that eliminates so many names, so please... I'm glad he's dead.

Elizabeth

That stupid son of a bitch.

JPC

See.

Adal

Outstanding.

Erin

I'm Elizabeth. What, Erin? So you and I were on a Herald team called Comet in Chicago that could not be cut. Regardless of how good or bad at the Herald we were, we lasted like five years, which is insane. But what would you say is, this is leading to something. What would you say at all?

JPC

I mean, Adal and I's teams lasted longer, so I don't. I don't. Did they? It's insane that a team lasts that long. Yeah, absolutely.

Erin

Devil's Daughter and Revolver were around for a while. I've never.

JPC

Devil's Daughter just hit nine years.

Adal

Never thought. Yeah, I think we're all over like 17. Never thought.

Elizabeth

That's crazy. We're the only five year team to make it.

JPC

What a fucking brag.

Erin

It's less about, I know other teams make it, like Big Spoon, that's the name of a Herald team that lasted like seven years. They're great. I love Big Spoon. They're good at improv.

00:19:55

???

Sure.

Erin

Comet was this place.

Adal

Are you shit talking your own team?

Erin

No, it's amazing. I'm leaving her to something.

Adal

Sean was on that team too, right?

Erin

No, he was not. No, he wasn't. Elizabeth, what would you say was the vibe of our shows and the vibe of the people on the team?

Elizabeth

Chaotic, horny, fast-paced nonsense.

JPC

And with that in mind... I was not on the team, correct? This was not a team.

Elizabeth

JPC is a word that comes to mind.

Adal

Chaotic, horny, fast-paced nonsense is JPC's AOL screen name.

Elizabeth

Very long. It doesn't really fit. It was. We were like constantly trying to kiss each other in scenes like and oh man one of my favorite moments in improv though was I was trying to surprise Erin in a scene where I just like came through the door and was like mailman and it had nothing to do with what was going on which is the best way to come in. Sure.

00:21:06

Erin

She swung open the door and went, male's here in the middle of a two-person scene that had nothing to do with that.

Elizabeth

And then Erin without skipping a beat turned and kissed me on the lips and I was flabbergasted. I was shooketh to the core. She got me. I thought I got her and then she got me ten times. You can never get me. I'm so fast. No, that's not true. I get you all the time.

JPC

Now Elizabeth, we do have to say that there are a lot of people who listen to this show trying to learn improv from the things that we do. I gotta say, don't do that. If you are a listener, don't do that.

Erin

Don't be a mailman.

JPC

That's what you're trying to say, right? Yeah, don't be a mailman.

Erin

One of the most detestable professions of all mail. That came from four years of trust and knowing each other. I would never, but then the rest of the team, the rest of the time was like if I swing the door open and say something about mail, Erin might give me a kiss. So the rest of the show was a complete puddle of nonsense. Don't do that. Don't do that.

Elizabeth

Yeah, I forget that you guys have listeners. Wow, what a backhanded compliment.

00:22:10

JPC

But Elizabeth, I... Honestly, that's something that we should keep in mind way more than we do.

Elizabeth

Yeah, I forgot that you said your words matter.

Erin

Well Elizabeth, to stay on theme with that, I tried to find some fast-paced horny riddles knowing that you would enjoy them. So let's get into some riddles.

JPC

Oh. God, it did not even occur to me that we hadn't started doing riddles yet.

Erin

Uh-huh. Hi. Good morning. Good morning. Wake up sleepy head. Time for some riddles. Wake up the sun.

Adal

The school's canceled. The school's canceled because we got 20 inches of riddles.

???

Yes.

Erin

So these are from JR, he him, and they are some real fun These are called don't put your dick in it riddles, so that's fun.

Adal

That was a live show?

JPC

Oh my god. I know we at least talked about it on a live show. No, a live show, somebody brought us fuck pudding.

00:23:12

Adal

So it must have been on the show that it happened. We had a big commercial that was, uh, fuck pudding, put your limp dick in it. So I assume that that's what this is based on.

Erin

That was us, huh? We did that?

Adal

Because we forgot we had listeners.

Erin

Oh god.

Adal

We gotta start writing this stuff down.

Elizabeth

You guys need to keep remembering.

Erin

I won't.

Adal

I just took a note, have listeners.

Erin

Good, good, good, good. She stands tall and sleek. She's cool and feels so smooth. Thank you.

Adal

Erin.

Erin

Erin is a seal. But don't put your dick in her. You'll spoil all your food. Ew.

Adal

I don't understand this riddle.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth, don't say ew.

JPC

Is it a bottle of Mrs. Butterworth syrup? Because I got to say, you can put your dick in that. There's nothing inherently wrong with putting your dick in.

Adal

As long as it's just you eating it. And I will say, if you can fit your dick in it, probably don't tell other people because you've given all the size away.

Erin

Yeah, I didn't mean to lift up this rock of knowing these things about you guys. I actually would rather let that stone go unturned, so enough out of you two for a while, I think. Okay, sure.

00:24:21

Elizabeth

Well, I was gonna say if I had a dick, I would be putting it in any which way.

Erin

All right, so I guess nothing from the three of you for a little while, I think.

JPC

Erin, let me ask you a question about this riddle. Is this one of these riddles that sounds super dirty and it's like, don't put your dick in it, but the answer is something like very innocuous?

Erin

Exactly.

JPC

Is the answer a food stuff?

Erin

Kind of close. She stands tall and sleek, she's cool and feels so smooth, but don't put your dick in her or you'll spoil all your food.

Adal

Here's what is the don't put your dick in here. What is is that an actual part of it or that's just like a funny little tag line. I think that's the running theme for these riddles. We've only heard one of them, but I'm saying like, but it's not like don't put your dick in it doesn't mean like that means the answer is going to be not someone named Richard. It's not that part has nothing to do with the actual suspect.

Erin

Yeah, but I also wouldn't put my deck inside this thing.

Adal

Got it got something sharp. Is it like a garbage disposal?

00:25:23

JPC

The garbage disposal has nothing to do with the other parts, which are the information.

Erin

I say she's cold. Say she's cool.

Adal

She's cold.

Elizabeth

You feel so smooth. You'll spoil the food. She stands constantly. Cold and smooth. All your food.

Erin

You feel so smooth, but don't put your dick in her, or you'll spoil all your food.

Elizabeth

The refrigerator? Yeah! We've all said at the same time.

JPC

Okay, by the way, I do know people that definitely put their dick in the refrigerator.

Erin

Why?

JPC

Call it down? I think for, by the way, this is like, you know, when you're a young boy, kind of just discovering your dick, you'll try a lot of stuff with your dick. And I know some people found the pressure of pushing a refrigerator door against their dick to be something that they- What?

Erin

What?

Adal

What are you talking about? You could just- Say this person's name. No, I'm telling you. There's only one person who thinks that.

Elizabeth

Is it your brother? Are you trying to protect him? I don't even know if you have a brother.

JPC

I would never protect either one of my brothers. I would throw them to the wolves if I caught them doing some weird dicks.

00:26:23

Adal

I gotta say at my grade school or high school if I sat at the lunch table and said like you guys ever put your you ever slam your dick in their fridge door and it feels so good I would have been I would have had my ass beaten

JPC

Yeah, well we all didn't go to fucking grade school in the 1910s, okay? Some of us were free to sexually express ourselves.

Erin

When people are born with a vagina, I know a common thing is the edge of a couch. People born with vaginas when they're like 12 or 13, they're like, edge of a couch! He's warm and inviting.

Adal

He brings joy to your day, but don't put your dick in him. He'll burn your skin away. Elizabeth, don't laugh.

Erin

Elizabeth, it's not funny.

00:27:25

Adal

Warm and inviting. Is this the microwave?

Erin

No.

Adal

It's not the sun.

Erin

It's not the sun. A raging fire.

Adal

Can we hear it again, please?

Erin

He's warm and inviting. He brings joy to your day, but don't put your dick in him. He'll burn your skin away.

Adal

Is it a candle?

Erin

I'd say this is a part of someone's day that maybe they look forward to a lot.

Adal

The afternoon? Is it your birthday? Sleep time?

Erin

No. Coffee. Yeah!

???

Is it a hot bath?

Erin

Are you serious? Elizabeth, you got it!

Elizabeth

It's a cup of coffee. Oh man. I really didn't think I was going to be able to answer any of the... I was like, they're going to answer them and I'm going to laugh and then I'm like, I have no idea.

JPC

That one makes so much more sense to me though. Do not put your dick in a hot cup of coffee. That sounds awful.

Erin

I would like to see a scene. Elizabeth, you're a mom at the end of her rope and GPC and Adal, you are her twin teenage sons. And Elizabeth, you've decided that enough is enough and they need to stop putting their dick and things around the house.

00:28:29

???

Hello, Mommy.

Elizabeth

Charles?

???

No, I'm not Charles.

Elizabeth

Ben Susan?

Adal

Yes.

Elizabeth

Sit down. Where's your brother, Charles? I need to talk to him right now.

Adal

He's behind me, but we're evenly highted. So you can't see him behind me. Can you hear me, Mother? Okay, sorry, sorry.

Elizabeth

No, sit down. Side by side. Side by side, not behind, behind.

Adal

Yes, Mother. Fine, Mother. We'll stand abreast.

Elizabeth

I want to see four eyes staring right at these two, all right?

Adal

Then let me take off my glasses, Mommy.

Elizabeth

Yeah, take them off.

Adal

And let me put my dick as I fold them inside the glasses.

Elizabeth

No, no, no. Okay, this is the meeting we're having right now is that we need to stop. We, as of right now, the rule of the houses, keep the peenie down and locked away.

Adal

Hey mommy, if the rules rhymed, I think we would follow them more to the letter.

Elizabeth

No, well, your weenie should never be sheenie. It should never sheenie the shun. Your penis should never sheenie the shun, okay?

Adal

So stop putting lotion on our penae?

00:29:31

Elizabeth

Well, no, that's important to moisturize. That's your mommy's number one rule.

JPC

Yes, to keep it youthful forever.

Adal

Yes, mommy says dry penises are the worst penises.

Elizabeth

Have you been reading my diary?

Adal

Yes, I put my dick in it.

Elizabeth

Can I have one thing in this freaking house where you're... Mummy, we don't want to put our dicks in things.

???

No, no, no.

Elizabeth

We don't want to.

???

Not at all. We have to fight against our nature, mother. How are we ever to fight against our nature? It's our nature.

Elizabeth

You know what? If I can pay the bills on time and have you guys have cereal for your guys' mouth holes, then maybe you guys can get... You can restrain from letting the beasts out every once in a while.

Adal

Speaking of, we don't want to eat the cereal that you provided. We've put our dicks in it. Yes. The cookie crisps, the fruit loops, the oat clusters, the grape nuts.

JPC

And you also talked about working hard, and frankly, we don't want to touch your checking account because we've put our dicks in it.

00:30:38

Erin

And in the pneumatic tube. Mother, can I have the living room? Oh my god! Couch and I have a date in 10 minutes.

Elizabeth

I forgot about your daughter, Isabella. Who?

JPC

This is my daughter. Your daughter? No, this is Charles' daughter. This is Isabella.

Erin

How old are you guys? Get out of here. Get out of the scene. Everybody out. Everybody out of the scene. I need a breath.

JPC

Mom needs to see her.

Erin

All right, that's five on the scene. Erin, how are you doing?

Adal

You ready to go back into the scene?

Erin

I need a fluffer.

Adal

Okay, let's get this pillow nice and soft for you. There you can lay down, Elizabeth. Erin, how are you doing? Did we call scene or are we still going?

Elizabeth

No, give me a second. I'm still in the scene. I'm taking a break.

Adal

Okay.

Elizabeth

I'm still in the scene. I'm being fluffed.

JPC

I left the scene. I thought the scene was over. I'll be honest. I just left.

Adal

Then I'll stop doing this bit. Scene.

Erin

All right, now I feel comfortable enough to come out. I'm coming out of the scene. All right. Her flesh is soft and pink. She gets wet when you squeeze her tight, but don't put your dick in her. Okay, here we go. You'll be stinging all night. Grapefruit. Bees. Yep. Adal, that was too fast of an answer, and I would love for you to tell me what happened. Wait, what was the answer? Grapefruit. Oh, I yield bees. These would be bad. Bees is my worst.

00:31:59

Elizabeth

Bad bees.

Adal

Bad Bees, Bad Bees.

Erin

His scent is intoxicating. He fills your house with joy. Oh, his scent is intoxicating. He fills your house. Candle. You got it.

JPC

Wow. Elizabeth just had to hear his scent is intoxicating and it was like candle.

Elizabeth

I was convulsing too if you didn't see. Yeah. Candle. Boom. Let's keep going.

Erin

She's exciting, but sometimes aggressive. She reacts to your slightest caress. Just don't put your dick in her. It'll be a horrifying mess.

Adal

Tempur-pedic mattress?

Erin

I don't think that would be a mess mess. I think that would be okay.

JPC

I think it's fine if you have a tempur-pedic mattress and you put your dick in it. That's okay.

Elizabeth

That's what mattresses are for. Yeah, I mean, it's your mattress.

JPC

You bought it.

Erin

I was thinking a razor. You're on definitely the right track there.

00:33:00

Adal

Oh god, like a scooter? Like a sprint phone? Motorola? Erin, can we hear the clues again?

Erin

Yes. She's exciting, but sometimes aggressive. She reacts to your slightest caress. Just don't put your dick in her. It'll be a horrifying mess.

Adal

Is it Alexa?

Erin

Oh! No.

JPC

Something that reacts to your every caress. Is that right?

Erin

Yeah, I would say it's like, I would call it trigger happy.

JPC

Is it Caress Catan? Mango? It's not like a gun, is it? Or like a taser?

Erin

No, it's not a gun or a taser. It is something that is like... You touch it and something happens. Like a blender? No. Oh, blender's good.

Elizabeth

It's meant to... Touch it and something happens.

Adal

It's like a massage gun?

Elizabeth

No, it's meant to like...

00:34:02

Erin

If you have it in your house, then you've got a problem in your house. This is not in a house that's without an issue.

Adal

A vibrator.

Erin

No. I'm sorry. It's the opposite of that. If you've got a vibrator in your house, everything's going easy peasy. Oh, a flush light. No.

JPC

I honestly bought a flashlight for my vibrator because I was like, are they in love? I was like, hey, like if you two want to hang out with others, it's totally fine.

Elizabeth

It's like a toy story when you have all your sex toys come alive.

JPC

If all you have in your house is a bunch of vibrators, come on, give them some plush lights to hang out with. And hey, maybe they'll pair off. Maybe they won't. We don't know. Give them the option.

Adal

Just like Toy Story, the creepy neighbor kid has real fucked up Frankenstein versions.

Erin

So if you have this in your house and you're like a homeowner, you're like, oh god, I cannot believe it's come to this. It's a mouse trap.

00:35:11

Adal

I'd like to see a scene. I guess I need new mousetraps.

Erin

Adal and JPC, you are two mice and you come upon a mousetrap and Adal, you're like, the cheese is right there. Let's definitely have some. And JPC, you're a little bit weary.

???

So I sang to Deborah. I said, listen, the hole in the wall that you live is just too small for me. So I moved out and then she started seeing someone else.

JPC

Yeah. I mean, I'll be honest, Randy, she's a hundred percent in the right. Yeah. I mean, you walked away from a great thing.

???

Yeah, I know. Yeah. I made sure I went her back. Oh, speaking of, speaking of right, look over there to the right, this big chunk of tea.

JPC

What do we have here? You know what? This is a trap. What do you mean? But it's one of those non-lethal ones. I've seen this. This is a non-lethal.

???

I don't know this term, non-lethal?

JPC

Yeah, so basically what happens is you go for the cheese, obviously. We want the cheese. Okay, here I go. No, no, I'm saying, you go for the cheese, obviously. Okay, here I go. No, I'm saying, it's like glue or something. Basically, you get stuck, they wait to come and get you, then they let you go outside. You get outside, you get right back into the house. Very easy, we just use the hole we made. So yeah, have at it, go get the cheese. It's not lethal. Here we go. Yeah. Oh, this is like...

00:36:30

Erin

Hey Riddle. Hey Riddle.

JPC

I'm with her. You're the guy Debra is seeing? Well, the mouse you see, yeah. I guess this is the best time to say I'm a dude. I'm a human dude, man.

???

What?

JPC

Yeah, dude.

???

And you shrunk yourself down and put yourself in some sort of mouse costume?

JPC

Hi Riddle. His little mouse brain explodes. Just the brain? That is good technology. My dad is Rick Moret. Thank you. Thank you. I was staying until I heard seed. I learned my lesson from last time.

00:38:05

Adal

I feel like the last two scenes, I'm like, I don't think anyone's staying seen, so I'm like, I'm staying in it.

Erin

You guys, oop, I just broke everything.

Adal

Is that a mouse that just died, Erin?

Erin

Yep. Well, everybody, let's go stretch, relax, have a cup of coffee, put our dick in the coffee, and we'll be back. 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.

00:39:12

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.

00:40:22

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 painting. Run. Everybody run. Oh no.

Erin

Maroon.

Adal

Is that DaVinci?

Erin

Yeah. Yes.

JPC

And bye.

Erin

And welcome back from the break. We're still here with the great Elizabeth Andrews, and we have one more of the riddles submitted by JR. You guys ready?

Elizabeth

Absolutely.

Erin

He helps his community greatly, although he is rather short in measure. Please don't put your dick in him. You can't handle the pressure. Hose. Kinda. Wow, yeah.

00:41:26

Elizabeth

A fire hydrant.

Erin

Yeah.

???

Wow.

Elizabeth

I thought of that all by myself. I didn't even need to hear hoes first.

JPC

I didn't need to hear hoes and I didn't hear kinda. I thought of that all by myself.

Elizabeth

I didn't even need to hear the riddle. I knew it.

Erin

I'd like to see a scene. The three of you are firefighters and the fire alarm's going off and you're sort of dragging your feet. Like this has been a long week in here. You don't really want to do the whole rigmarole of all those stuff firefighters have to do.

Elizabeth

Oh man, everyone take their dicks out of the penis. What?

Adal

What?

Elizabeth

I was going to say peanut butter jars. Your dick isn't in a peanut butter jar right now, is it?

Adal

It is.

Elizabeth

Yeah, everyone take out your dicks.

Adal

Out of the peanut butter jar. Well, let me slice up some apples first so I can take it.

Elizabeth

No, no, no. We don't have any time. The bell is ringing. The horns are going. We got to put on our costumes and go.

00:42:28

Adal

Listen, Carol. When fire starts, it's just a suggestion. It's just like, it's like, am I going to catch on? You know, am I going to go flame up? Am I going to sort of like really start to roar? So we have a good, I don't know, five to 10 minutes before things get really bad. Really bad.

JPC

Okay. Yeah. Look at the end of the day. Thanks for watching!

Adal

Carol, we said we'd always be honest with each other if any of us had sort of a dogma situation.

JPC

Well, it's like a trap for police. If you ask a firefighter if they're God, they have to tell you. Carol, are you God? Carol, are you God?

Elizabeth

I'm God, okay? I've been God this whole time!

Adal

We've never asked Carol. Well, now that we have you here, and thank you for being honest, can you tell us?

00:43:33

Elizabeth

Careful, careful, careful. Whatever is going to be your next question, do you want to know the answer to it?

Adal

Why do you start fires? Let me rephrase it, sorry, shit, fuck. This isn't like a genie situation, is it?

Elizabeth

That's it, that's it, that's all you get. Fuck that.

JPC

Wait, that's all Kevin gets?

Elizabeth

That's all Kevin gets and you.

Adal

I had two. I only split questions. I said, why do you allow fires to start? And then I asked, is this a genie situation?

Elizabeth

Oh, Kevin. Kevin, fuck this up for everybody in the room.

JPC

Hey, can we at least get the answers?

Elizabeth

No. Because I don't like you guys.

JPC

Fuck. The whole fucking, I don't even care that I lost my wish. Because obviously, you're not going to give me a wish.

Elizabeth

You totally care because you're screaming. You're emotional. Look at you. You're crying. You're bleeding.

Adal

Well, you're a fucking joke. I mean, this sounds like a bumper sticker. God is a firefighter. That sounds like a bumper sticker.

Erin

Hey everybody. Hi, I have a good news bad news situation. What's up chief? Bad news is the zoo is completely destroyed. The good news is nothing left to save. So stay comfortable.

00:44:45

JPC

No stress. Hey, honestly, to me, that's good news, good news, right? Because, you know, zoos are a little bit amoral, right? They keep these animals in containment and biomes that they don't deserve to be in.

Erin

Unfortunately, no human died. Only the animals. Only the animals. But you know what? Gods will, right?

JPC

Yeah, I'm a Christian scientist, so I do believe that those animals, although they do not get birthdays, nope, Jehovah's Witness. I'm a Jehovah's Witness. And I'm a Muslim or a Protestantist.

Elizabeth

Yeah, and also be careful what you say when you say gods will. You know, you don't know who's in the room. I mean, it's you, Carol. God could be in the room.

Erin

It's Carol. Hi, Carol.

Adal

Oh Chief, we didn't fill you in. Come over here.

Erin

What's up?

Adal

I have two questions for you. One, was it the fire ants exhibit?

Erin

It was. Good guess.

Adal

Yeah, they shouldn't have put them in the Savannah. And two, Carol is God.

Erin

Not our Carol.

JPC

Well, not my God.

Erin

Well, Carol.

JPC

Again, Jehovah's Witnesses.

Erin

They have a God, don't they? They have something.

00:45:50

Adal

We gotta. Hold on, he's going through all the vowels.

Erin

O-A-O-I-E-U.

Adal

And sometimes? Y. Godly.

Erin

Perfect. Alright, we have one more sexy riddle.

Elizabeth

This one's from Georgia. And may I say, I forget every time that you say put your dick in it every time and it makes me laugh.

Erin

Well, those are done, so I'm not going to tell you to put your dick in anything else, I promise. Oh, they're all over. They're all done.

JPC

What will I do?

Erin

But you will like this. This one is tangential. Tangential. Sure. This I think has been on the show before, but Elizabeth has never done it, so I'm going to read it anyway.

Adal

Okay.

Erin

I go in hard and come out soft. You blow me hard. What am I?

Adal

Okay, yes, we, JPC and I know the answer to this.

Erin

So you guys go have a little sip of Gatorade, go sit on the bench, just relax. Wait, what? You gotta say it again.

00:46:52

JPC

And if you want to hear the answer to this riddle, outside of this podcast, check out the Patreon. Check out the Hey Riddle station on the Patreon because you can hear the answer to this riddle on that.

Elizabeth

I'm signing up right now.

JPC

Oh yeah, it worked.

Erin

I go hard and come out soft. You blow me hard, what am I? I come out hard. And I come in soft. No, I go in hard and come out soft. I go in hard and I come out soft. What's something that starts hard and then gets soft?

Elizabeth

Ugh.

JPC

Like... I mean, I know it would be obvious.

Elizabeth

It's solid, something that's solid and then you... Oh boy, everyone's gonna hear the inside of my brain. Oh, and don't hold back.

JPC

Okay.

Elizabeth

Kabloom. Kabloomy! Is it possible that this is a poop? I was thinking that too, but... Cuz if you eat just like hardtack... I go in hard.

Adal

So GPC, I do want to carve out about two minutes for you to explain to the listeners and us mostly, how do you poop and what is it involved with going in?

00:47:54

JPC

I'm saying if you eat hardtack, hardtack, this is rock hard stuff. You're still gonna poop. It's not like it goes nowhere. It's not like it goes nowhere.

Adal

So you're saying hard food becomes poop, okay. Becomes poop, yes, yes. You're not, you're not pooping, freezing it, and then putting the poop back into your butthole.

JPC

I didn't say I'm not doing that. I just said, I just said the first thing. Just because I'm eating something hard and it's coming out soft doesn't mean I'm not doing the second step, which obviously I'm a Jehovah's Witness. You do if you want to get into heaven. And they only let 44,000 of us in, I think? What?

Adal

It's a really low number. There's a Jehovah's Witness protection program. They only have a certain ceiling.

Erin

Do you want the answer?

Elizabeth

Is it bread? No, do you want the answer Elizabeth? Oh man, see this is what I'm saying. Yeah, I do. It's bubble gum!

Adal

Oh, I was way off with it.

Erin

I'm pissed. She laughed, no!

Adal

I'm fucking pissed. I wanna see a scene. Erin and Elizabeth, you are two very close friends and we'll say that this is, I don't know when it was invented, we'll say that this is like the 1800s, somewhere in the 1800s. You're two very close friends. Elizabeth, you have just invented bubblegum and the very first piece, besides the piece you created for yourself, the very first piece you've ever given to someone is your friend Erin. Erin, you're trying bubblegum for the first time.

00:49:21

Erin

Eleanor, you're covered in mud and I just saw you run all the way up the hill. What is it?

Elizabeth

I have something to tell you, Eloise. Is someone dead? What is the news? There's not much time. They're after me. They're after me. I've discovered something no one's gonna believe me. They're not gonna believe what I have.

Erin

You're standing very close and you're starting to scare me. What is it?

Elizabeth

Eloise! Put this in your mouth. What? And tell me what you think. Trust me.

???

Trust me.

Erin

Forgive me if I have some trust issues with you. Just last week, you told me to put a firework in my mouth and that hurt something awful. But before that, you put a very small animal in my mouth.

Elizabeth

I'm not even sure what it is. That was for science. Come on. Eloise, I love you. Ellen, are you too much thinking and too much experimenting for a girl? Just thinking for yourself? Just sit and do your very light piano playing like the rest of us. I'm always telling you there's not much time. The Countess, she's coming for me. She's gonna kill me. You need to take this. You need to take this piece. It's called... Bubblegum.

00:50:34

???

My, my liege, my countess. I believe I just heard a whisperings of the bubblegum over there in the forest.

JPC

Impossible, imp. Impossible. The bubblegum is safe inside my vault and I will be the countess for a thousand years.

???

Countess, I don't know how to tell you, but I looked into your vault when you went around it. How? It is gone. Eh?

Erin

Bubblegum, you say? Well, that is a very silly word for such a dignified woman. I'm trying to find a husband, you see. I'm going to be 18 by next week. I might as well be a- I slap her. Ow!

Elizabeth

That was I. Alright.

JPC

You're gonna have to roll for it. Okay, that's an 18. Erin, 6 damage.

Erin

Please, I'm fine. I will try. This is the final experiment and then no more silly games for children anymore between the two of us. I don't trust you. You keep betraying my trust with all your experiments.

JPC

I'm sorry, Erin. Take a look at your character sheet. Your character has five Mexican points that slap killed you.

00:51:34

Erin

I'm dead from the slap.

Adal

Oh, you're... Well, you're not dead. Go ahead and do a saving roll and use your constitution. You're dying. Yeah, you're dying. So it's like 10 plus your constitution modifier.

Erin

Tell JBC and Adal to fuck off.

Adal

So that's a good one. That's good, that's a success.

Erin

Alright, I'll put it in my mouth. Achoo, achoo, achoo. You don't have to chew it with me. Bless you.

JPC

Quiet, quiet there, Imp. I can hear the chewing coming from that better house up the hill.

Adal

I slap her. Oh, yeah.

Erin

Wait, how many damage points?

Adal

It doesn't matter, my legs. The countess is horny, so slap damage doesn't work on her.

Erin

It makes her stronger.

Adal

Yeah, it replenishes her health.

Erin

All right, time to swallow this thing you told me to eat. No, wait. Did you? Erin, would you roll for throat? It's an eight plus. Oh, it says fuck off.

???

Oh, that's so weird.

00:52:35

Erin

Fair enough.

JPC

She's rolling crits all night. Oh shucks! There's a knock upon the door, that front door, the same one that you came through.

Elizabeth

Naked! We're naked in here! Our ankles are out! Shoulders, collarbones, oh so many horrible things!

JPC

Even better, it's the Countess and I love it when my constituents are naked.

Elizabeth

Oh no, it's the Countess! You've done it again!

JPC

And me. And her impious. And Daryl. Her imp, her imp. Hold on, hold on. Her imp.

???

I have a name.

JPC

I don't think so. Is it Daryl? No. Forget you heard that.

???

You signed your name away the day you know. My name has been spoken. I'm free from the curse. Daryl.

Adal

Turns into a full giant who's so handsome.

00:53:35

JPC

Oh yeah. Go get me a cup of black coffee, a grapefruit, and a refrigerator door. I'm going to town on this giant. I slap her.

Erin

That was a Hey Riddle Riddle scene. Welcome Elizabeth.

JPC

Welcome Elizabeth. Hold on, hold on. Wait, I thought we were doing sitcom D&D.

Erin

Yeah, that was sitcom D&D. What did you think? Just a little taste.

JPC

Damn, don't bother listening to the trailer. You got it right there. Sitcom D&D every Tuesday at... Tuesday?

Erin

Every Tuesday on the Headgum Network.

Adal

Every Tuesday's with Maury.

Erin

All right. How are we doing in time?

JPC

We need seven more minutes.

Erin

Great. I don't know if we can do it. Yeah, I don't know. We're going to make it. So these are from Victoria, who is so kind in this email, and sent some riddles. So let's read some. This one is called Can Be Rough because they know that you love riddles with titles. JPC.

00:54:38

JPC

So it's called Can Be Rough. Is this another sexy one? Okay, so it's not about like light choking or maybe digging your fingernails.

Adal

I slap him. I tried light choking, I burned my hand so bad on the light bulb.

Erin

Yeah, yeah, it's not as fun as you think. A skin that hardens with a year, sound by a creature we hold dear, an order shouted loud and clear. I want to make me sad.

Elizabeth

It made you sad! Elizabeth, I'm so sorry. Is this like the top of a baby's head?

JPC

Oh God, yes, the smell. The smell of the baby's brain. Is this bark?

Erin

Yeah. Good thinking. Nice one. This one's called Why So Sensual. Encasing the ends of a rope, if we twist and we tug, we grope. It helps us cross and bridge two slopes.

???

A knot?

Erin

This is going to be kind of hard, I think, for you guys.

00:55:41

Adal

Okay, so remember can be rough. No, is the title changed?

Erin

Encasing the ends of a rope.

Adal

Wait, is it still under the umbrella of can be rough? No, this is why so sensual. Why so sensual?

Erin

Encasing the ends of a rope, if we twist and we tug, we grope. It helps us cross and bridge two slopes.

Adal

So the end of a rope is, a jump rope is plastic handle.

Erin

Yeah, commonly plastic or metal, that's hint one, and you may touch this daily.

Adal

A handle?

JPC

Maybe. And it bridges two slopes. Is this like a, oh, what are those called?

Erin

Bridge? Yep, you got it.

JPC

Where you like, it's a bridge?

Erin

No, no, no. You struggling to find this word makes me think you're on the right track.

JPC

What's the, uh, is it a kitchen utensil? No. The one that, like, oh, I was thinking of the one that, like, flips burgers. It's the thing at the end of, uh... It's the thing at the end of, uh... No, the grabber claw. The pincer. Yeah, the pincer.

Erin

We call it a pincer. Tongs. Tongs.

JPC

I call them tongs.

Erin

Um, thongy tongs. It's the end of, like, a shoelace. What's at the end of a shoelace? Do you know the word for this? You might not know it.

00:56:43

JPC

Oh, yeah. It's something kind of dirty, right? What's the name of it? It's, like, a titty something? Nope.

Elizabeth

That's going to be a dance. What was it called? Titty booby booby titty breast?

Adal

Here son, let me help you tie your titty tie.

JPC

I know the thing at the end of a shoelace has like a funny name to it.

Erin

It's an aglet.

JPC

An aglet, yeah.

Adal

And why might that be sensual?

Elizabeth

I don't know. That's a fun word.

JPC

Hey Adal, I gotta say, if you have to ask, you're not reading my blog.

Erin

This one's called Above Everything. Working men and stylish youth both in this find use.

Adal

Carhartt.

Erin

Working men and stylish youth both in this find use.

JPC

Honestly Carhartt's not a bad guy. Carhartt jackets.

Erin

Carhartt jackets and hats. You're on the right track.

JPC

Because it's like... It's clothing. It's for hipsters and it's all stuff like... Steel toe boots.

Adal

Yeah. Shell toes. Oh, what are the... with the pockets? Dickies. A term of summary. A what?

00:57:51

Erin

A term of summary. Yeah, this is hint one. A term of summary. Hint two is the title is poor word play. And hint three, which is just from me, is ash kash bakash.

Adal

Overalls. Do hip youth still wear overalls? I feel like that was a thing when I was a kid.

Erin

Grandpa Adal.

Adal

When crucial conflict was on the airwaves.

JPC

Hey, honestly, if someone writes into the show and is like, this is what hip youth are doing, I'm like, I have no other choice but to believe you because I have no way of empirically checking to see, like, I don't know any hip youth, so if they're wearing overalls, fine. It's none of my business. It's none of my business. God willing and God bless. Behind closed doors, if you're in your house, do what you do. I don't want to know.

Erin

That happens to me anytime I hear about like a new celebrity who's like 22. I'm like, God bless. It's none of my business. This is none of my business anymore in pop culture.

Adal

I really like this one.

Erin

This one's called Double Trouble. Underage man buying beer. Caught once by a cashier. Catches someone looking at his clothes. Nice, knit, and buttoned. He's gorgeous. He knows. Same clerk there as back then. Oh shit, he asked for his pen. This is sort of like two answers in one and they're spelled differently. It's like his pen pen. Underage man buying beer. Caught once by a cashier. Catches someone looking at his clothes. Nice, knit, and buttoned. He's gorgeous, he knows. Same clerk there as back then. Oh shit, he asked for his. ID. Yeah, kind of.

00:59:35

JPC

It rhymes with the word then. Something again? Cardigan?

Erin

Yeah, it's cardigan. Cardigan and cardigan.

JPC

And he's wearing nice clothes.

Erin

Cardigan. That's a cardigan.

JPC

Isn't that fun? Got it. Yeah.

Adal

If we were a cardigan.

Erin

And then Victoria's friend Bridget wrote this one. Amazing Riddle by Bridget. That's the name of it. Sometimes I am royalty, but I need no crown. Sometimes I am above myself or below near the ground. And when I am small and alone, I am a Gemini. The question is, who am I?

Adal

Monarch butterfly? No.

JPC

Oh yeah, because they're like the same on both sides with their little pattern.

Adal

Yeah, it's either that or Stanley Tucci.

JPC

Oh god, I hope it's Tucci. The tooch. The tooch. The tooch. Oh my god, I hope... You gotta get the tooch on the podcast. I hope they never cancel Tucci. I hope I never hear a bad word about Tucci. If you know a bad word about Tucci, don't run into the show. Keep it to yourself.

Adal

Don't tell us. Don't tell us.

Erin

Is it Tucci? No. Is it Tucci? This one's kind of hard. The first three lines describe different types of one thing. Hint 2, you likely use this object daily, and hint 3, you may have used every type of this object. I say every side of this object.

01:00:51

Adal

Is this under double trouble still?

Erin

Yeah, yeah. So sometimes I am royalty, but I need no crown. Sometimes I am above myself or below near the ground. This is not double trouble.

Adal

It's not double trouble, okay.

Erin

And when I'm small and alone, I am a Gemini. Do you know what like the sign for Geminis is? It's twins.

Adal

I do feel like this is a bit of a misdirect in terms of like, I feel like these are just Sarah McLaughlin lyrics.

Erin

Yeah, and then the next one is in the arms of an angel fly away from here.

JPC

Is this like those two things in the kitchen that you like used to like grab like flip burgers like the little grabber pitcher.

Adal

Okay, next Riddle. I'm all out of faith. This is how I feel. I'm naked and alone.

Erin

Twins is helpful because twins is a type of this thing. Twin is a type of this thing. Twiends.

01:01:56

Elizabeth

And it's not vibrator. It could be. No.

Adal

Wait, you said twin isn't the title of this thing?

Erin

No, twin is a type of this thing.

Adal

Type of it. Is this a... Oh, bed.

Erin

Yeah, it's a bed. It's beds. Yes, it's a bed. It's big bed, little bed, twin bed. Thank you so much for all those riddles. I really loved them. They were challenging and interesting, so thank you for that.

JPC

Yes, they were very good, and we do like them very much.

Adal

Scene. Let's see here. So Elizabeth, you are Goldilocks. JPC, Erin, and myself will be the three bears. And we caught you in our mattress store sleeping.

Erin

Hey lady. Lady. Oh, oh. Oh look, a bear. How cute. Oh, she smells like whiskey. She reeks of whiskey.

Elizabeth

It's so good to see you.

Adal

Dad, mom's doing her Jerry Lewis impression again.

01:02:56

???

Hey lady, lady.

JPC

It's okay. Your mother's the best seller here. Just let her work her magic. Okay, let her close. Let her close. Mom, close the deal.

Erin

Pretty. Look at your fur. Thank you so much. Hey. Hi. It's 2 p.m. on a Wednesday. Oh my god. And if you like this mattress, I think we could probably work out the finances so you could be taken at home today.

Elizabeth

Oh yeah, I think I really like it.

Erin

How much? How much? It's $3,000. Dad, here's where you come in. Oh.

JPC

No, no, no, no. She's right. That is the old price, but... Tell this pretty young thing about the 50% slash that we've done.

Erin

Whoa! Honey, how are we going to stay in business if we keep doing discounts this big?

JPC

Mom, Dad, please. I don't care about making money. I care about selling mattresses.

Adal

Remember, Mom, Dad, we're not supposed to say slash anymore, and we're not supposed to have our store inside a mall anymore.

01:03:56

Erin

Can you go to school for the love of God?

Adal

I did. I got a degree in business. Then what are you still doing working here?

Elizabeth

Go start a business! You know, I don't feel so... My porridge!

JPC

She was a bear! She was a bear the whole time! Oh boy. Oh, turning a vomit into a bear. That's the Hey Riddle Riddle.

Erin

Elizabeth, what would you like to plug?

Elizabeth

Oh my God. This is so fun. I was like, man, this is like the big leagues of podcasting and I can't wait to get asked this question.

JPC

Yeah, amen to that.

Elizabeth

Well, it's funny you ask, Erin, because there's a little podcast that I can plug called sitcom D&D and you and me are on it and a few other guys. But don't let that deter you. And it's what? It comes out two days? Yesterday. It came out yesterday.

01:05:03

Erin

The first episode's already out so you could find it right now. We've been recording it for over a year. It's been an absolute joy for my brain to get to do improv with Elizabeth again and a lot of the people who I grew up doing improv with. So it's very magic and I'm really proud of it. And Elizabeth, you guys, she plays a character named Beef. That's the whole name. It's Beef. And he's so funny. He's my favorite part.

Elizabeth

So please check him out. Beef has risen. Thank you, Erin. As you can see, Erin has a lot of practice. I really thank you for taking the reins on that one. I barely know anything.

Erin

I blacked out for this whole episode. Adal, anything to plug? No. Did you see anything to plug? What?

JPC

What do I have going on?

Erin

Check out Hello from the Magic Tavern. They have a pay-free on. Lots of good stuff happening over there. Always a delight to listen to their show.

01:06:05

Adal

Here's what I'll plug is I got a tattoo the other day and I would recommend getting a tattoo. It's a fun experience. I really like it. I'm gonna get some more and I think it's a cool thing. It's fun. Do it for yourself though.

JPC

Yeah. Same as always from me twitch.tv slash sharkbarkman over there playing video games but Erin. You kind of buried the lid a little bit because you do have another little project that I know that you were meaning to plug. Well, I say little project, but it's actually quite a big project and it's actually in the freaking sky.

Erin

Jupiter?

JPC

That's where I was going. Yeah. Bye forever.

Erin

Goodbye.
