This is a HeadGum podcast. Hey there, kiddos. It's me. No, no. It's okay. It's okay. Kiddos, hold on. It's okay. My name is J.P.C. and I'm... Hold on, no, no! Not like that one. It's not the one you've read about in the papers. They got him. He's off the streets. My name's J.P.C. the clown and I'm here. Hold on, now, come on. Be fair. Have it give a person a chance. Can't you give a person a chance?
You're the man who bought my dog dinner.
Hi kids, it's me, Princess Erin. Yay!
Wait, why am I saying yay?
And I'm here to kill the scary clown, Jesus.
Holy crap, my first response was yay to that. I gotta talk to my shrink. Honestly, I got issues, I need a workout.
And I'm here with my jester, Adal Rifai.
That's me going upstairs.
And he's going to do the killing for me so I don't have blood on my hands.
What's this up my sleeve? It's a never ending knife. Oh you are cutting your arm.
Alright, but Adal, I got good news. That happened in a scene and not in real life. You're totally fine.
Adal the Jester though is dead.
Yeah, we can't undo that.
Word have lanched. The Jestering Jester. Jester. Okay. No, no, no. Adal stop.
I have shut down my children's party business and I'm fully recommitting myself to this podcast. Welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle. That's Adal Rifai. Adal the birthday podcast for children.
And this is a riddle podcast that we started in 2019.
We started right around the time that those iPod commercials went out of style. Remember it was like a black silhouette dancing in front of colors to like the hives or something.
I want to dance like those black silhouettes are dancing.
This is a Hey Riddle Riddle Riddle challenge. I challenge all the listeners. You proved to us we didn't start this in 2011. Yeah, prove it. The proof is on the accuser, motherfucker. That's the legal system.
Don't send us a screenshot of your podcast player showing the day of the first episode because you don't know when that was recorded.
Yeah, you doctored it and you definitely doctored it.
And here's a little hint. We went by a different name before we changed it to Hey Riddle Riddle. So get at it, sleuths. Yeah. That's a hard one to say.
Someone's going to figure out that we were wait, wait, don't tell me.
Wait, wait, don't tell me. But it was spelled W-E-I-G-H-T.
Remember when we used to record in person?
Yes. I do. Yeah, that was 2011. Could possibly be, you know.
Isn't that kind of... I know that was 10 years ago now. Love it. Isn't that so weird that we used to just like... We would like drive to a place and then we'd walk in and then sometimes we'd get each other like Wendy's or coffee and then we would sit down and see each other and then we would, am I the only one who remembers this?
I used to go in every week and wonder how the fuck is this table so sticky and now I live here, it's my table and I know exactly why it's so sticky. It's me! It was me the whole time! I'm the stickiest boy in Candy Town!
And JBC, do you want to let people know when that children's book will be out on shelves? The stickiest boy in Candy Town?
I do. So as soon as a couple little legal loopholes get worked out, my publisher and my press release, pretty much everybody involved was on the flight logs.
We share a lawyer and I overheard that our lawyer saying that you can't have drawings of things in a book and then have a real photo of a human penis.
Well, luckily our murderer was murdered in prison. So, where are they clear?
You know what? Our lawyer was such a gossip that I'm glad that that... May his secrets rest with him. Um, isn't that so crazy? I was just thinking about how crazy it was, but I guess you guys are... don't think it's that crazy. That's okay if you don't think it's crazy. I think it's crazy.
I feel crazy that you don't find that crazy. Am I crazy? I do think it is crazy, but I just can't, I simply can't wrap my head around it in terms of like, I remember it, but the feeling is gone. And that goes for most of my emotions. The feeling is gone. I am, you know how sometimes when you get up and you've been sitting for too long and your legs are like, no, nobody, there's no circulation down here. Come back another time. That's how my emotional wellbeing is. It's just numb.
How are you sitting? We gotta get you a new chair. Please. By the way, that shouldn't be happening on most chairs. I currently just sit on Gemma. Ow, ow, ow.
Hey, you guys, I have a question for you and I would really appreciate if you answered honestly.
Is this a riddle or a question?
No, it's a real question. How is your weekend? Don't lie.
How is our weekends or weeks?
Well, she said, she said, how was your weekend? Yes. Okay.
And don't, and she said also, Adal, she said, don't lie.
Don't lie. Okay. Um, I gotta be honest. I can't even remember what I did before we got on this recording. Okay. He's not lying. I, what did I do? I feel like Gemma was out of town on a work trip and, uh, Sadia, Sadia is moving out of my place soon. She found a new place. So she'll be, um, gone after her lovely stay here. So I think I just like sat around the house and like cleaned up a little bit, played with the cats, scritched brisket on his little chin, scritched fries on his little butt, and watched the NBA All-Star weekend. It was overall a good time. It was a good, it was a good weekend. Sounds crazy. For what I can remember. Yeah, JVC what did you do?
Lots of scritches of butts and chins.
Lots of scritches of butts.
It's funny because this weekend I had a really relaxing weekend. I think I did the same thing. I centered myself. I took two baths. That's right, two baths. I took a Friday night bath and a Saturday night bath. I think the weekend starts for me on a Friday night.
Whatever happened to Saturday bath?
And the like Mariah was gone on Saturday and I was like fuck it I'm just gonna take another bath. Like it was I had a conversation with myself and it was like it's usually it's been a while like if you just had a bath you could wait a couple days before you have another bed. And by the way this is the only way I clean myself. That, I do what the cat does, where I try to lick every inch of my body that I can get with my tongue.
With your legs straight up in the air.
Straight up in the air, making full-on eye contact with spaghetti.
One time JPC and I shared a hotel room. We probably have a few times, but recently when we did the shadow puppets and we shared a hotel room, JPC said, excuse me, I'm going to go take a bath. And then he stood at the foot of his bed and sprayed himself with Axe Body Spray. And then he said, I'm done, do you need any?
Well he was 13 at the time, okay? Oh no, I'm ruined.
Hold on, hold on, Adal was 40. Wait, no, damn. Two baths in one weekend is an indulgence, and I felt indulged.
You, on our review crew, when we talked about taking baths and other such self-care things, said, I'm going to try to take more baths. And you followed through on your promise, and I'm very impressed.
You know, because if I'm thinking about it, I think I want multiple baths in a week. If it's a week, if a week goes by and I took multiple baths, I can look back at that week and say this week was a success for me.
Thank you. You know, I don't, same review crew, I don't enjoy baths. I think I'm gonna try some of the tools and tips and tricks that you all mentioned.
Hammer baths! Hammer baths! Hammer baths!
See if I can set myself up for a more successful bath, but I will say just to be positive, I do enjoy the word bath. And bathed? When someone's bathed in sunlight, I think that's a really cool word.
That's lovely. I mean, you could make anything positive. I don't like murder, but the word has lots of fun R's in it, so that's cool.
Ooh, and a curvy D. Great.
My favorite bath. Okay, shall we start that podcast? My favorite bath?
Oh buddy, no. Your enthusiasm and everything else is misplaced.
Oh, so another thing that happened to me this weekend too is I thought my freezer may have broken, but I don't know.
You got somebody calling you asking if it's running?
Yeah, they asked me if I was running. Stuff in my freezer started to melt. And what I do have in my freezer is three, like, pints of ice cream. And they all kind of melted and, like, dripped into my freezer. And I had to, like, clean out my freezer, which also, I really liked the... I liked cleaning out my freezer. It was a fun activity for me to clean a... An excuse to clean a freezer? What better way to start the day? But I did eat some of that melty ice cream because I was like, it's gonna go to waste. I'm gonna have to throw this melty ice cream away. And I don't know what happened with the meltingness of the ice cream, but it made me pretty sick. It was nothing but my guts.
Once it melts, it is legally water cream. Water cream is not good for anyone. No.
The milk water was really bad for old JPC. I do remember that, but I don't think my freezer's actually broken, so that low light turned into a high light, actually.
I will say, and JPC just jogged my memory, Erin. I don't know if it was this weekend, but it was sometime in the last like five days. I did buy some, on JPC's recommendation, I did find some Jenny's in my local store that's right near JPC and I, and I bought some Bramble Berry Crisp, which to me, Bramble Berry does not appeal to me. Blueberry is one of my least favorite flavors, blueberry and black licorice and white chocolate. All the color flavors. But I bought a pint just to humor JPC and then I sent him a text at 7 23 p.m. Wednesday night and I said Okay, fine. I tried your Precious Bramble Berry Crisp and it's fucking delicious.
I think what, yeah, he did haha on it. And then he said, okay, next time try blackout chocolate.
That one's also very fucking good.
But I will say that I think it's like the little oats that are in it. Yeah. Fully make it because it was a nice creamy texture, but there's some, there is that texture in there. It's just, it's a goddamn delight.
I am starving. What did you do?
Hey Riddle. I sent it to a new level and I again, I did not think I would like it all the details If you added them all up, it's it's something anti Adal, but it was so good. So JPC, thank you for that.
What a delightful treat JPC.
Erin, how's your weekend?
I robbed a bank. Not a lie. I'm holding myself to the same standards I helped you do.
You're holding yourself hostage?
Exactly. It was good. It was fine. I don't think I did that much. I just sort of like ate little snacks. I filmed a sketch with some of my friends. I normally don't like to be in filmed things very much, but we filmed a sketch and I had a lot of fun. So that was my entire weekend.
Can you tease what you played or who you played?
Yeah, so we did like a sequel to a sketch we filmed in like 2018 or something like that. Maybe even 2017.
The long-awaited scene. Nuva onion rings.
And it was like three of the funniest people I think in the world. Jordan Lee Cohen, Elizabeth Andrews, and Jesse Kendall. Elizabeth, who was just on her show. And it's a sequel. Wait, let me write these down.
I think one of my favorite is George Clooney. I mean the pranks he does, he's funny.
If someone's hot and they're funny it makes them funnier. Damn.
So as you can tell by how much bullshit we've done, I'm old man puzzles today. And I'm actually, I think that we're going to be able to stick with the same listener submitted riddles from just one person, I think. So these come from Jeremy. Thank you so much for these, Jeremy. I think that you guys are going to have a lot of fun doing them. Maybe not. I can't tell the future. Okay. I'm going crazy. She's spiraling. No, I'm crazy. Okay. She's me and she's crazy. And that is what... Okay. Alright. Uh-oh. Okay. Jeremy wrote these. I think that they're all original and they're really really fun. I baked up a batch of some warm-up puzzies for you to enjoy. The format is...
When were they baked? We might have to throw them out.
No, they're so good. I looked at the expiration date. They're so good. The format is a movie title where the last word or syllable flows into the first word or syllable of a song title. So basically you're just like pushing together a movie title and a song title.
It's almost like the Jeopardy category before and after kind of ish.
Alright, so here's the example one. Are you ready?
Sir Mix-a-Lot's Anaconda don't want none unless it's driving a DeLorean hun.
I like big butts to the future.
Baby got back to the future. I do think we need to stop recording because I do need to sit down in a dark robe and process what you just said. Marty! Marty! My Anna kind of don't want none. I like big butts in the future. Perfect!
Well that's... It's not you Marty, it's your butts.
And Jeremy includes the years that the song and the movie came out just in case you struggle with it. Got it. Great.
Pants where we're going we don't need pants. Is any of this fun?
No, it is. It definitely is.
This is what your job is, Adal. You're doing your job.
JLo's hit tune about the anticipation of her zombie babe.
So this one's hard, I think. Anticipation for zombie babe. Waiting for tonight.
Oh, you got, okay, I'm surprised that you got that.
But I don't know about a zombie babe.
Waiting for Tonight of the Living Dead. Now we'll never see that scene. I want to see a scene. So we are in a zombie survival horror thing. We are three of the last survivors and we're all going over our special skills. Erin, Adal and I are going to have real special skills that would help us in a zombie survival. And you are a pop singer. And so that's what will be revealed.
Alright, let's take stock of everyone's capabilities just so we know when we're in a situation once we leave this warehouse, who can do what. Okay, Tad here. I can scale walls. I can make a campfire. I can hack a computer. I'm trained in all 14 martial arts. Don't make me list them. Uh, and I can't hotwire a car.
Wait, I'm sorry, I'm not gonna make you listen. Krav Maga, is that three or is that one?
I count it as three because there's three different moves. Krav means head, ma means hands, ga means feet.
Cause I, cause I also, I, all fourteen, but in my mind I was like, I know all twelve. But then I'm like, Krav Maga. But that's three so that I know fourteen.
Yeah, and Tai Kwon Do is also three.
Cause I was, I was counting Taekwondo as three. Let me bow to you.
Can't wait to find a shared interest with them. Cool.
Yeah. So that's what, that's Tad's list. Who else wants to go?
I basically, uh, again, dat, uh, dat here. I've said my name a bunch of times. It's Tad backwards.
I never realized that till just now.
That's wild. Uh, perfect block. Wow. Perfect block. Perfect attack. This is weird. I got a tattoo on my chest of a two headed dragon. And sometimes I do feel pain, and I'm wondering if when you get hurt, I feel pain.
This is way off. I have this pendant that I also have a... One, let me say, I also have a two-headed dragon. Thank God. I left that out there hanging and I was like, he doesn't have it. Dad, he doesn't have it. It's a tail. I guess it's two dragon tails. And I also have this gold pendant that was given to me by my benefactor. Yeah, I got the pendant. Oh my God. Sorry, go ahead with your skills. Go ahead with your skills.
I can turn anything into a weapon. I can shoot helicopters with my mind. I have, I can say, I think 35, 40 foot jump kick. Again, all the martial arts, all 14. Wow. And I'm an explosives expert. Oh my God. We were so rude, we're going on and on and on. Who do we have here?
Hi, I'm Tiff. So happy to be here. Tiff.
Backwards is f-f-fit? F-fit? It's nothing. Do you have any tattoos?
Uh, no tattoos. I hear my skills though. I can lip sync and my voice can be auto-tuned. I can slap waiters and what else?
Okay, interesting. Well tell us, who's your benefactor and what medallion did they leave you?
Um, I... I manipulated another singer into buying me this necklace. Just for sport to feel something. But I can sing. The zombies hurt us.
They're climbing through the window.
I did get bitten and I'm not sure if it's relevant.
Okay, that's a bit. Yeah, you lead with that. Uh, if I'm being honest, uh, Dat here again. Dat. We look so similar.
I was gonna say you guys look like twins! We look so similar. You guys look like twins, I was going to say. But also, I was gonna say brains.
Hold on, hold on. Dad. Next time, leave with brains, yes. Dad, stay back, stay back. Bat. Bat? What do you think, your name's Tab? Sorry, I was also bitten by a bat. Oh my god, I was bitten by a bat. Oh my God.
It's a helicopter. Hold on. Let me blow it up with my mind. Oh, you know what? I'm sorry. One of the things that I said was a dream that I had.
That was a test. And you failed.
Okay. I can make anything. I can shoot at helicopters with my brain.
Smash mouth hit featuring aging silver screen star Norma Desmond.
All Star Wars. All Star is born?
No. Is it All Star is born?
Let's start with Smash Mouth.
Think of one of their songs. Walking on the sun.
Walking on the Sunday in the park with George. Walking on the sun. Day of Bloody Sunday. Walking on the sun. Sunset Boulevard.
Somebody once watched me.
Okay, there's audio somewhere on one of our episodes, our Patreon episode, where we try to do that song as a round. Oh yeah.
I do remember that. I can't believe that we did that and we recorded it and we put it out there and it's still there and people can go listen to it and all they have to do is pay $5 a month to Patreon.com.
Oh, hold on, I just found a clip. That's wild.
I wonder if I did the same bit last time. Probably. I haven't evolved because of the pandemic. I'm stuck. Okay.
No, Erin, that was the audio from last time.
She's dumb. She's dumb. She's tall, but she's dumb.
Excuse me ma'am, here's your mozzarella sticks. Ah, right in the face.
Okay, so, a box. Do you like these?
Sorry, can I just say, these are incredible. I would say this is one of the top three things we've done on the show. I thought you might like them. How my brain works. This is great.
Guys, can we do something crazy?
Do I sound like a turkey?
No one in the history of time has ever done this.
You sound like a turkey drowning.
No, give it a chance. Really listen.
A turkey drowning. You sound like a turkey drowning.
Thank you for giving it a chance.
You sound like a turkey doing an impression of a turkey. Does that make sense?
Turkey Mocking Express! Okay, JVC hates this so much. I'll cut it out!
Truly, truly, I was getting a vivid flashback because I never in my life saw my dad be silly, but he told me like a dirty joke, I guess. One time when I was a kid, not a kid kid, but like younger. Hey Riddle He goes, you got to wink back, wink back. And so he winks back. And then she, and the joke goes on, and then she flashes him and she like just flashes him her breast and goes, dude, she just showed him your breasts. What am I doing? She goes, dude, you got to show her your nuts. And so he looks across the bar and goes. And my dad did that. And my dad is like a very stoic guy. And I was like, man, what a joke for a stoic person to do.
There are so many of these. 68 to be specific.
Jeremy didn't want us getting too horny. Jeremy submitted 68 of these? Yeah. What if we just got through them super quickly? Wow. Okay. People get on us about not doing enough riddles and now you can't get mad. Let's go.
Sorry. This is a riddle app.
That is a ton of riddles. We've never done that many riddles in an episode. This would be a record. Can we start? Can we decide we're going to break a record at the halfway point? Is that crazy? Okay. We're going to go on a break.
No, no, three before we go on break.
No, no, we're going, we're going on a break. And then when we come back from this break, no shenanigans, just riddles.
We're breaking our record today. Are we doing it?
Are you guys in? We're in.
Okay, great. We're doing it. We'll be right back from break. 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?
I bet you're wondering. I wanted pretzels from the food court.
And I was just gonna let you know that it looks like you leaned on paint.
Anyways, I just had a bunch of subscriptions canceled for me by Rocket Money that I wasn't using. And so 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 binds 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hey, what's going on? Somebody leaned over my rocket money paint thing. Run. Everybody run. Oh no.
Hi, and we're back. We are going to break our record today on the show and let's get into it. A bop from The Who about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy headed to the Emerald City.
Great. Dusty Springfield croons about her sword passed with Clark Kent.
I can picture Dusty Springfield's album, but I can't pinpoint any songs.
Oh, no, no, no, no, not that. Yeah, Man of Steel. You're right.
Man of... We didn't say Man of Steel.
Oh, sorry. We all said Superman. No, it's... Yeah.
Superman, Superman, Man of Steel pedal guitar? Man of Steel, my heart. What does Dusty Springfield sing? That's the thing.
I can't think of any of her songs.

Of course. Billy Joel loves her even though, one time that DVD got stuck in my laptop, doesn't matter. Billy Joel loves her even though- Erin, by the way- I will be following up about this.
That sounds like a lie that you tell someone to be like, It's not mine. It's just a DVD that's stuck in my laptop.
No, it was stuck for like a month. It's my friend Damon's. It doesn't matter. Billie Joel loves her even though she's been institutionalized with Angelina Jolie.
She's always said something to me.
Uptown girl. Uptown girl interrupted.
Oh, that one was reversed. That was the song first.
And so was Preacher Man of Steel.
This is getting pretty hard for a GPC.

Disney classic about the troubled relationship of two stars headed in opposite directions on the walk of fame.
This one's kind of hard. Wait, you said it's a Disney classic?
Yeah, so the song is the Disney classic.
And then the movie's about a troubled relationship of two stars.
I can show you the worlds apart.
I would say it's like the Disney classic, perhaps the one that plays at the beginning of a Disney movie.
No, it plays at the beginning of all the Disney movies when it shows the castle.
Oh, it's when you wish upon a star. Is born.
Let me get one more look at you.
That was a great time for the internet. Remember that? And everyone was editing different things he was talking to. What a dream.
Yeah. Let me get one more look at you.
Um, epic Don McLean track that combines American pop culture with a bunch of idiot stoners like James Franco and Seth Rogen.
Die hard, Pineapple Express. American Pineapple Express.
JBC, I did love yours though.
Oh, John McLean. I'm sorry. Never mind.
Oh, and I'm so sorry. I do have to, Erin, I do have to legally yell, drinking beer with my football friends or whatever the fuck they say.
Thank God you did because we would have been in so much trouble.
I walked by so many house parties in college that were singing that and it was just the worst. Sorry, go ahead.

Alana Miles' badass ballad that skewers modern art, ego, and violence like a modern slasher.
Is it a Michael Henke or whatever?
Is it a Halloween? It's like a famous horror franchise that came. I think the first one was like early 2000s.
