Which Riddle Riddle?

This is a HeadGum podcast.

This is your captain speaking. We should have a smooth flight. We will be heading to Riddles in just a moment here. We'll be clear for takeoff. If you look out the window to your left on our flight, you will see some pussies, and out the right you will see Riddles, our destination. About halfway through our flight we will stop for some ads, but after that it should be smooth sailing. In regards that we will crash the plane into water and pick up a sailboat and sail to our destination. Are there any questions before we take off?

This is Captain speaking. I am the shift manager at a Long John Silver as everybody calls me the captain. I have a question for the captain of the airplane if that's okay.

Go for captain.

Again, this is another captain speaking. I'm just wondering when you say that we're going to crash into water, is this going to be a water landing or will this be a plane crash?

Great question captain. This will be a... Thank you captain. Thank you. This will be a plane crash. But there should be a pretty good, high chance of survival.

And this is your captain speaking. We are so sorry. Two teens have gotten ahold of our sound system. We should be killing, but no, not killing. Do something to stop them. Sorry, sorry about that.

This is your captain speaking. Everyone put a finger in your butt.

This is your captain speaking again. Not the captain of the plane, just a captain of the Long John Silvers. I got my finger in my butt and there is a teen sitting next to me who handed me this control and they are laughing at me. Just wanted to ask if that is normal.

And this is the captain of the plane speaking and I just wanted to tell you to put a finger up your butt. And I'm Hey Riddle Riddle.

And I'm Adal Rifinger. And I'm JP's finger. And we're Hey Riddle Riddle, an improvised podcast about riddies and puzzies. Sometimes.

Yeah. Yeah, sometimes it's the sweater episode. Sometimes it's the Sherlock Holmes episode from a long time ago.

I guess it's the one from like March of 2018, something like that.

I feel like we're coming. Are we coming up on our fifth anniversary? No.

No.

I feel like once we pass five years on our fifth year anniversary, we should change the podcast to Hey Riddle. So that we're lessening expectations by 50%. Wow. Yes, Adal. Because that second riddle is really, it really emphasizes and laminates the fact that we're doing riddles. And I feel like we're not holding up that end of the bargain.

I got a pitch for you. What if instead we just call it, Hey Riddle Riddle, and then that two minute bit that we do at the top of every show could be a 20, 25 minute bit. I love it.

JPC, your pitch?

Strike.

And that we're having a ball and you won.

You know it would be fun to listen to one day. I'll get around to it. Going back in time and listening to little episode one Adal. He had suspenders. He had a glint in his eye. He was happy as a clam and he said, we're calling it Hey Riddle Riddle.

You're describing Paul Simon so far?

He was singing the song Bernadette, an obvious child. He was hanging out with Chevy Chase, wearing big suits and talking to Lorne Michaels. So you had this glint in your eye and you said, hey, I know that we're also doing puzzles and lateral thinking problems and improv and other such things, but I like the name Hey Riddle Riddle because it has a little ring to it. And it's like the little children's poem. And we're like, yeah, people will love it. They'll totally get it. And then immediately people were like, wear the riddle. Om nom nom. I need more riddles.

Seriously, I love that phrase. Om nom nom.

Speaking of music, you know what song I heard at the airport? What?

Ooh.

Is this a song that Hey Riddle Riddle references all the time? Why is it top of mind? Also, this song is amazing. Hmm? Um, hard to say what it is I see and you want to live, I'll always be with you.

Wait, what?

Who sings that? It's not Dean Blovitch, right? I don't think so.

Oh, is that Blues Traveler?

Look it up.

No, no, no, no. It's someone with a harmonica, I think. Is it, is it de la mitre?

I think you might be cool. It's Sister Hazel. Sister Hazel. All For You by Sister Hazel.

You know what? We were all right.

And? Yeah, exactly.

Sister Christian.

That song's amazing. It has a real three princes vibes, which is why I thought that maybe Hey Riddle Riddle referenced it all the time.

Sister Hazel must have been one of those one-hit wonder bands because you saying that, I'm like, yep, that is it. It's Sister Hazel. But now I'm like, I don't know any of their other songs. I miss one hit wonder bands. I felt like it was a specific quirk of the music industry at that time that we would develop those one hit wonder bands. I feel like we just do it less and less now.

I want to start going when those hit wonder bands come to town. I want to start going to their concerts and just hear the one song and then leave. Like, I don't know if you know this JPC, but Papa Roach is coming to somewhere in Indiana that's not too far away. And I'm like, it would be really fun to go with JPC to go see Papa Roach, listen to Last Resort, and then just fuck off and do anything else.

What if they do it last? This could be a really big mistake. Uh oh, thank god I'm here. Adal, nope. No, no, nope, nope. I'm just grabbing his hand, taking the tickets out of his hand.

It's not the same thing at all because it's not a one-hit wonder thing, but my dad keeps going to see Alice Cooper concerts, and I mean, my dad's 70, and Alice Cooper's older than that. Like, he's definitely older than that. And I'm like, Wow, it's so funny that my dad, Alice Cooper, I think was maybe one of his early concerts, is still going to see Alice Cooper shows. I'm trying to imagine what a band of comparable age to me that I will still be listening to when I'm also 70. And I was like, I think it'll be like, assuming that, dude, they legit, they will never stop making four albums a year. That's what I'm saying. They make a lot of music. They're never going to stop touring ever. Taylor Swift is my age. She makes a ton of music. I'm like, there's a good chance that at 70 years old Taylor Swift is still making a ton of music.

Oh, I think so. If I'm like retired, I'm never going to retire, obviously. I'm never going to give up. I'm wheezer. I would follow Taylor Swift at 70 in concert. It would become like a fish situation. We'd all like look at each other's like scrapbooks and like hug each other and talk about our lives in the parking lot beforehand. No drugs.

What I love specifically about my dad and Alice Cooper is I don't feel like Alice Cooper's like the biggest name, you know? So it's like, it is funny to be like, this feels like, this feels like a fan and Alice Cooper could have like a relationship of like, oh yeah, you're the guy who keeps coming to my concerts, great, good for you. But yeah, for Taylor Swift, I'd be like, no, she's like a mega celebrity, like she's never gonna get to the point where someone's like, yeah, you want to go to the Taylor Swift concert? $20 and it's this Thursday night.

I have that similar thing where I'm like, I can't think of a good example of like, you know, Radiohead or something. I'm like, there's no illusion where I'm ever going to meet them or know them. But then there's people like Dr. John where I'm like, I could easily talk to Dr. John. I mean, I think he's dead now, but I feel like there's- So easily. So no. Ouija board, anyone? Yeah, everyone. But it is funny in my head to be like, there's a certain level of fame where I'm like, I could be friends with them easily.

I just think it's true because they have less fans and you're one of the fans so the math works out.

What else she says looking down at her riddles wanting to avoid them.

Well we did the hey part so we should get to one of the riddles and then after the break we can do the second riddle.

We actually, we kind of did like the hey part and then we had like a 10-15 second coughing fit and then we did more hey where it would have been like an opportunity to take some water and just move on with the show but I love I love how we got the Alice Cooper and my dad stuff in there.

I just figured out what I wanted to say earlier. Erin, you were talking about what the song is and I wrongly guessed Hootie and the Blowfish. I was having a conversation this weekend at the cabin. We were at my bachelor party and we were sitting around the fire. Erin, I think you were there, but I discovered that Hootie and the Blowfish song titles are basically just Beatles song titles.

Oh, I wasn't there for that.

The Beatles have, I want to hold your hand, Hootie and the Blowfish have Hold my hand. And then there's two other ones, but I can't remember what they were, where I was like, they just ripped off the Beatles and no one... I mean, everyone rips off the Beatles.

Yeah, I think that's universally true.

But it felt like I solved some mystery. I felt like I solved some greatness.

Adal, were you... I was high. Yeah, okay. That mystery solved itself very quickly, did it not?

Adal Rifai, he was like, holy shit, every hoodie in the Blowfish title, and then he'd ultimately remember what?

Oh, the other one was, it was, let it be. Let It Be and then Who You Love Fish also have, is it Let It Be? Let It Be. I don't know. They also have another song that's similar to Let It Be. If not, straight up the title is Let It Be.

Adal's thinking of Let It Be by The Beatles.

Is it a cover? Do they do a cover of Let It Be by The Beatles? Let's come back to this. Put a pin in this.

Let's come back to this.

Hold on. I take issue with that we have to come back to this. Can't we just let this one go?

No.

Okay. Don't put a pin in it. Let it fall through the floor.

I won't. And we'll slip on it later.

When you're high, you'll remember. Be well. Okay, so, are we doing this? This is real.

Yeah, we gotta do this, Erin.

It's Riddle City, baby. I feel like last time it was your time to be Dr. Puzzles or whatever you call it. I feel like you made us do all puzzles with no, all riddles with no improv.

I did like 70 riddles and I was exhausted by the end of it. I had to lay down for a week. Couldn't get out of bed.

All right Adal, here you go. Ready? Sickly, yes. Only want to be with you. What's the Beatles song? She came in through the bathroom window. Are you hearing the word B and you're like, yep, B to B. Business and business software. Okay, what about this one? Let her cry. Let her cry. I love this methodology. I say the name of the song and you just sing it to the tune of another Beatles song.

Erin, Erin, I'm talking to you with only my brain.

Adal, are you high?

I need to get out of this.

That would be cry baby cry by the Beatles.

Hannah Jane singing at the da da da da da Take this Hannah Jane... Penny Lane.

Hannah Jane is Penny Lane.

That's it. Well that actually works, okay.

I actually would be great at this game.

The Old Man and Me. The Old Man and the Sea are in a same way.

Got it. Got that one. Got it in one. Time. Uh... uh... Revolver. Bang, bang.

Next we'll seal the time. Fine.

Only Lonely.

Uh, sometimes.

Something. Wait, no.

The Beatles don't have The Lonely People. Who sings that song? The Beatles. That's Eleanor Rigby. Eleanor Rigby. So only lonely is Eleanor Rigby. Love it. All the lonely people were doing it. God, okay. Goodbye. Hello.

Hello.

You say goodbye. Hello, goodbye. And we say goodbye. Alright, one more.

One more.

Or goodnight. This is the last one that we'll do for this. Get Out of My Mind. Get back.

Oh, a friend of mine who is a who is a legit rock star. Okay. He messaged me the other day and I had I never noticed this. He realized that Tax Man by the Beatles is almost the exact same riff if not the same riff from Batman. That could be a commercial for a local CPA.

A local late at night ad spot for a CPA. And then he comes into the frame from the side and goes hello there.

He's got like a Batman costume but it's like it's one of the ones that you would buy for like you know $20 at a Halloween party supply store. Yeah that's way too tight.

Some people think numbers are boring, but I think they're a superhero. I'm a tax man.

He goes, let me crunch your numbers while biting into a Nestle Crunch.

There's a lot of layers to this. It doesn't air. It's a parfait.

It's a tax parfait. Well, speaking of doesn't air, uh... Cheaper by the dozen air.

Erin, what is our first riddle?

Our theme for today are riddles that I saved that I didn't end up having time for in other episodes.

I don't think that's a theme.

It is.

Yeah, it's like calling the theme for your dinner, like, gonna be hungry.

Interesting. Interesting.

Yeah, Stephen King has a new book out and the theme is, uh, I wrote this.

And just in time for St. Patrick's Day to be many days ago, I have some Irish riddles from an Irish listener.

Perfect. The theme for my high school prom, I'll never forget it, it was children dancing.

Funny. Okay, that would be a very funny theme, and then I would think those kids were funny, so you're joking, but that is good.

Oh, that's damn it. I didn't mean to do a good joke. God damn it. Now I'm just mad.

You're such a dipshit that it loops back around to awesome. You overshoot mischief and land back in helpful.

All right. Okay. What if Erin is holding up her phone right now is like, okay, the theme for this episode is we're going to do this riddle. And the way that the riddle works is you have to pick a five letter word and you have to guess it. And then I'll tell you, it was just doing Erin's word along.

Thank you.

Clever girl.

Okay. Hello, Adal, JPC, and Erin. Listener from Ireland here. My name is Shane Gross. You can say my name on the podcast.

Thank you, Shane. Erin, can I suggest something that you feel free to tell me, JPC, this is not something that I'm willing to do.

Not if you're going to make fun of his name.

Nope. Don't want to make fun of his name. Would never make fun of Shane Gross's name or whatever it is. But, when it's a listener from Ireland, wouldn't it be nice if you read it in a little Irish accent? Just not like a cartoon, art stars and rainbows, but just like give a little blow.

Maybe more like a peaky fucking blind air.

What on earth are you doing? Hello Adal, Erin. Adal JPC and Erin. Listener from Ireland.

I can't do it. Nope. The Hemorrhald Hail.

Okay, you can say my name on the podcast. It would be fun if I did an Irish accent, but I won't. The following riddles come from the Irish National Folklore Collection. Recognizing that many aspects of traditional Irish life and folklore have been lost following the great famine of the mid 1800s and subsequent mass emigration to the US and elsewhere, the government set up the Irish Folklore Commission in 1935 to record as much first-hand information from the eldest generation of Ireland. I didn't know this, I think it's super interesting. Also, Irish Folklore Commission sounds magic. Their office door was a portal to a magical world, am I wrong?

In Dublin I went to, I think it was like the Leprechaun Museum or something and there's like a lot of folklore in there and there's a lot of like, there's like a chair that's like 50 feet tall and stuff. I mean, Ireland's having fun. They're having a lot of fun. Way more fun than we're having.

Thought that was super interesting. This is why I'm reading the whole email.

That's great.

One of the ways they accomplished this was to establish the schools collection where Irish schoolchildren asked questions to their grandparents, parents, and neighbors about how life in Ireland used to be. Approximately 740,000 pages of folklore and local tradition were compiled by pupils from 5,000 primary schools in the Irish Free State between 1937 and 1939. These are being digitized and are free to read online. Topics including oral history, topography, folklores and legends, proverbs, games, pastime, trades, crafts, and most importantly, riddles.

Riddles.

Kind of cool.

This sounds nice and innocent and everything and it sounds delightful because it's Ireland. But if you're a kid and you're listening to the show, I cannot advise you enough. Do not ask your grandparents. How it was when they were kids, because guess what? It's never going to be that way anymore, and we don't really want to know how it was.

When I was your age, I... Erin, while you're reading that, I had a flash in my brain for a phenomenal... Oh, a stroke. Is that what you're calling it? Why when I doesn't work anymore, I had a flash in my head of I think what would be a really good name for an Irish whiskey. What is it? Pete and Pete, but it's spelled differently.

Differently than like a Pete bog? No, that's okay.

I like it. I'll give you $40.

Sorry, the adventures of Pete and Pete.

Isn't Pete, isn't like Pete isn't like a Pete bog, isn't that stinky? No, it's like smokey. When they put Pete and whiskey or scotch it becomes smokey.

Oh cool, I didn't know that. All right. Well, then I like the name even more now.

No, I wish your name was Pete Moss who dated. Oh, fuck. That's the supermodel Pete Moss.

He's fading. You guys. Let's go back to your nap, Adal. It's okay. Your work is done.

Pete Doherty dated Kate Moss. And so they should have been called Pete Moss. Maybe they were.

I've said it to you a thousand times, you can let some of this go. You don't need to keep this information in your head.

It is so progressive. I mean, for a guy to take a woman's name when they're dating, that is very progressive. You can call me Pete Moss. That's too forward.

There are pages and pages of riddles. I went through a few pages and included the most common ones I came across repeatedly, including some that probably only made sense a hundred years ago. If you guys like these, I could very easily compile many, many more. Enjoy. And those are, that's from Shane. So thank you, Shane, for giving me all that information. I think that's so interesting and fun and I love that background.

Thank you, Shane. Shane, I've been showing to you a traditional Irish blessing.

Thank you. Adal Rifai. Wow. In Gaelic, that's beautiful.

Perfect Gaelic.

Perfect Gaelic.

All right. As round as an apple, as plump as a ball, can climb over a church, steeple and awl. I love this one. Apple. Okay, all right, you win. Mercy, I give up.

Church apple, climbing church apple.

White flag.

It's an old Irish classic climbing church apple.

Parlay.

What do you mean parlay?

What am I doing?

What am I doing? I want to see you soon. Is it from Pirates of the Carrot?

We can just do Pirates of the Carrot if you need to.

I want to see a scene. JPC, you are Father John. You're teaching at a Catholic school. Got it. Erin, you and I are the students. And JPC, you are teaching us that apples are the devil. Apples are evil.

I know a lot of people take my class because it doesn't hurt my feelings, but they say it's a blow-off class, but it's okay, it's okay. The class is important because the catechism is one of our oldest and most sacred documents, and it's good that every once in a while... Excuse me, Father?

You actually knew that you're confident. We knew that your confidence was a little low, so we brought you a traditional gift that you give a teacher. Here's a shiny red apple. I should have let a red-headed girl into this class.

All of it together doesn't really help. What takes us here to open up the window here and then chuck it? Didn't really chuck it very far, did I?

God, it kind of went behind you. That was so sad.

Are your arms okay? Adal Rifai, Adal Rifai, Adal Rifai. How dare you, how dare you bring an apple into this glass after... I can still see it and I'm thinking about it.

How is it out of sight, out of mind?

How could you see it?

It's bright red.

Why can't I see it?

Are you colorblind?

I mean, you should still see the apple, even if you can't see red. We don't need to start.

Well, there's a lot of little balls all over the ground. I kind of Mr. Magooned my way in here today, slipping on tennis balls and stuff.

I'm hungry and I'm bored by this lesson. I'm just going to open up my matz applesauce and... Ah, the devil puree!

How dare you bring the devil's puree in here? You know what applesauce is, boy? The devil's puree? Yes.

Why are apples evil? Can we take a guess?

Yeah, I know you absolutely could take a guess. That's what teaching is all about. Let's exclude that to the throne. Is it because they let the discovery of gravity go further back?

Is it because they created the first sin? Making Eve, because she was a little snackish after we reached up and grabbed the apple?

Even further back than that, my dear.

I don't, those are the only two stories about an apple I know.

That's literally the first story. When God created the universe, he did so in seven days. Well, technically six, he rested on the seventh day. That's why we have the Sabbath, don't you know? But on the fourth day... He was kind of done by the early afternoon, so he had some time to kill, and he was like, let's not mess it around with produce. So God started it up again, and he started making bananas. Ooh, bananas! They're long, they're funny, they got the skin on the outside. They're supposed to eat it. Very fun. And then God was like, why don't I make a kiwi? And he's like, people are going to be allergic to this. Father?

I have a question about God making bananas. When God ate the first banana, did he look around to make sure nobody was looking because it might be weird? No, but that's why he did that with corn dog.

He did that with the first corn dog. But why apples? So corn dogs used to be produce? No, you're skipping ahead. Corn dogs were day five. Corn dogs, God was like, what about a state fair? And he did corn dogs day five, elevated day five, pineapple upside-down cake was day six. That was completely different. Apple turnovers, day five. Apple? Lemon shake-up, day four.

So he created an apple and they're evil and then he puts them in apple turnovers? I don't understand.

What did you do last semester? What did they teach you in that math class that you all used? The only textbook that I use is called the B. I. R. B. L. I. G. I. A. I. R. B. L. I. G. I. A. I. B. L. I. G. I. A. I. B. L. I. G. I. A. I. B. L. I. G. I. A. I. B. L. I. G. I. A. I. B. L. I. G. I. A. B. L. I. G. I. A. B. L. I. G. I. A. B. L. I. G. I. A. B. L. I. G. I. A. B. L. I. G. I. A. B. L. G. I. A. B. L. G. I. A. B. L. G. I. A. B. L. G. I. A. B. L. G. I. A. B. L. G. I. A. B.

Devil's Tears. When the devil suffers, you grow stronger.

It's simple math. I know Grandpa is upset about the untimely passing of his wife, but I've been collecting his tears to drink and that'll make him feel better.

Exactly.

Yeah, okay, fuck. Well, yeah, now that I say it. Okay, so it's like an apple that goes over a church, right?

Round as an apple, as plump as a ball, can climb over a church, steeple, and all.

Oh, I know this. Is it a bell? Got it. It's a butt. I know it.

It's not a butt.

Adal, answer it. Got it. Locked in. Quasimodo? No, he wasn't as round as a ball. Sure he was.

Okay.

Is it a bell?

No.

Okay.

I like the way you're thinking now. You're doing great.

GBC, you know it? I think I know it. I think I know it. Erin, is this something that you can touch?

No.

Yeah, okay. I know it. Yeah, I know it.

And something that can touch you.

Is it the concept of an apple? Okay. In its own way. You can't touch it, but it can touch you. Is it the sun?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Good job.

The father, the son. I gave a good hint. And the Holy Ghost. Yeah, because the sun can touch you with its rays.

Deborah!

Hey everybody, I love summers.

Should we take a break? I think I need a break after that. Are you sure? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Okay.

All right. I'll see you in a second, Adal. JPC, are you definitely coming back after the break?

I already took my break. I'm on break. Okay. I'll see you during the ads.

Okay. Yeah. Let's hold hands and watch the ads together.

Hold my hand.

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 painting. Run. Everybody run. Oh no. Marone.

Is that DaVinci?

Yeah. Yes.

And bye.

Adal, that was so nice to sit and watch those ads with you. And now we're back.

I wish you would have said something during them.

No, no, no, no.

You're quite his little church mouse.

No, no, no, no, no.

Sometimes there's no better feeling than waking up early in the morning, making a coffee, getting cozy with a blanket, and just watching the ads come up.

Yeah. Gorgeous. It's like the right way to start your day. It helps with your circadian rhythms.

I got a question for the two of you. Would you rather watch a sunset or a sunrise?

Oh, the fiddler on the roof question. I would rather watch... That's funny. I would rather watch the sun, I mean I'm a night person, I'm gonna say sunset, but the most beautiful sun activity I ever saw was the sun rising on top of Haleakala, which is a volcano or mountain in Hawaii. And that was like the most beautiful thing I've seen in nature. And that was the sunrise.

I think if I had to pick, I think I would be a sunrise person because it feels like a little more special because of how many of them I miss, like I don't see. Whereas with sunsets, I feel like I've just seen so many more of them. So I feel like I would appreciate a sunrise a little more.

This is a super interesting question because I feel like there's two different types of people.

People who can do moments like- Oh, Erin's comedy sets coming.

Here we go. You ever notice how white people watch sets like this? Yeah, and then women be like, you get it.

Okay, so- Erin's stand up by the way is white people and women. Yeah, you get it. Okay, so- That's the only safe way to do it. She's both groups, so why wouldn't she do that?

That's fine stand-up to do. Not a lot of people I think can handle like moments of stillness in the morning and moments to appreciate and slow down in the morning because they can't like stop their mind from racing and thinking about all the stuff they still have to do that day and they feel like they haven't earned relaxing yet. And I'm one of those people where like sunrises are beautiful and if I'm like camping or on vacation I like it. But if I go and after this moment, beautiful moment of stillness, I have my day to do and work and emails and stuff and laundry. Like that doesn't feel as relaxing and like I can enjoy it as much if I have all that coming after. I'm someone who likes to take my like free time and my relaxing time at night and not in the morning.

That makes sense, yeah. I agree that I feel like people do kind of fall into those camps. And then I also think that I want to see a scene, and Erin, you can let me know if this is fun for you and if not, we don't have to do it, but I do want to see you. You're going to do a stand-up set, and it's going to be like, you ever notice how this type of person, but the only type of person that you're going to reference is bad stand-up comedians referencing yourself. Cool?

Okay, yeah, let me see if I can do this.

I hope that you can because I was like, maybe I should do this. And I was like, I don't understand it. So I'll give it to Erin to do it instead. I don't understand it.

I get it. I was on this airplane the other day, okay? And you know what I thought to myself? There's too much stand-up comedy about aeroplanes. Everyone's always like, oh, the peanuts are the other side. And you ain't lying. Okay. Oh, what is he called? Terminal? Security. Yeah. Oh, it's so annoying. And then all of a sudden, we have to take off our belts. And I'm like, whoa, buy me a drink first. And then I thought, oh my God, it's so annoying when standups think jokes like I'm thinking.

I have pre-check. I can't relate.

Okay, my wife, who you know is blah blah blah, was telling me the other day how offensive it is when comedians talk about their nagging wives like it's 95 and that men don't benefit from marriage way more than women and I went, shut up!

Wait, what? She's right.

I said shut up. You're nagging me about how right you are. This concept's awfully hard. Anyways, what else? What else?

This has the cadence of comedy, but none of the comedy of comedy.

I'm on the road.

Will you please at least not sit in that chair?

Ah, but then, that saying something, I'm commentating on. I'll stand back up. Um, I'm living in hotels, but that's boring when I do- Isn't it annoying when stand-up comedians talk about their hotels? What else?

I would say you're living in them, I'd say you're staying in them. You probably have some sort of home base, right?

Oh, I have a heckler! Let me try to emasculate you, and we can have a dick-measuring contest. That's something a bad comedian would say. I'll just say, fuck you, you're dumb! I'm with you. Yeah.

We really want you to succeed.

That made sense.

I think I made a... Yeah, that made sense. Hey, I got exactly what I asked for.

Thank you, Santa. I know this wasn't a one-to-one, but I love it being like, you have to wait all that time in the, what is it called, terminal? No, checkout line. Stop heckling me. It's like, can you ask for input?

I'm crying, because didn't that sound a little bit like if you put on a DVD? Hey Riddle.

I spent 20 years honing that set and she could just do it in a second. She just does the whole set in one minute. What were the last 20 years of my life with my nagging wife? Blah, blah, blah. Hotels are bad.

Oh, I'm hearing it. I'm hearing it. Okay. Here's your next riddle. Yes. These are still from Shane. Thank you Shane. When you go over a ditch, what part of you goes first?

When you go over a ditch, what party goes first?

I thought this one was super interesting.

Well usually you fall head over heels in law. Is it like your scream or something? When you said it's interesting it can't be a part of the body can it?

You're a person falling into a ditch.

Is it like when your heart beats out of your chest? Is that the whole thing?

It's so stressful that your heart jumps out of your chest? I love what you're thinking about, but it's unrelated to this show.

Oh my god, I love a bawuga. When Gandalf fights the bawuga, and he says, fly you fools. And then he goes down to fight the bawuga. And they're on the mountain side of the bawuga.

You don't see that right away. You see that in the second movie.

And you think it died, and Gandalf is safe, and then he goes, bawuga. And his little whip grabs his legs. So good.

And then Adal's favorite part of the movie where Gandalf doesn't remember his friends. Adal loves that part of the movie.

The worst part in any movie in history, in my opinion.

It's so funny how much that makes you mad.

Gandalf! Hey Gandalf! I remember that name. Gandalf, yes. I am Gandalf the White. Yes, same fucking difference. Erin, can you read the question, the riddle, one more time?

Adal, I love what makes you mad, which makes me an insufferable friend, but it just cracks me up.

Adal, do you think that you would be interested in watching a recut of Lord of the Rings that I'm 75% done with? I'm so close to being done with. It's Lord of the Rings recut with Sopranos, and it's called James Gandolfini. I made this joke before. Great.

You ever all make the same Gandalf jokes as your friends because you spend too much time together?

Hey, you should not pass. Nice.

When you go over a ditch, what part of you goes first and scream was closest?

When you go over a ditch, what part of you goes over it first?

What's the context for going over a ditch? Are you jumping over a ditch or are you falling into a ditch?

I guess if it's, so they're using the word ditch here, but I think like in a lot of ways, many times, this, this feels very Irish and old timey, the answer to this, but I think like what part of you goes first unless you're going down a slide maybe, what part of you maybe goes first?

Oh, it's probably your heart because you always lead with your heart in Irish.

Slightly more literal.

Is it like you go head first into the ditch? Is it like you go head first?

It's like something else. You're getting close. It's like head or scream or something.

Is it your butt? Aren't you bummed going first into the ditch?

No, it's like... It's something that reaches your destination before your... Slaver forward. It's something that is of you for a moment.

Echo your name.

That reaches your destination right before you do physically, if you're walking forward.

Your eyesight. Your soul. Your breath. Your breath.

Your breath. Kind of interesting, right? Very old timey and Irish.

Wait, what?

I don't think I get it.

Oh, because you lose your breath? Is that what they're saying? Because you're so scared about the ditch?

Huh.

Huh. Okay. Okay. All right. Look, I don't speak Irish. They're not always going to translate.

Why are you packing up your things? Where are you going? They're leaving.

I gotta go back on the road, baby. I gotta make odd money so we can live in this nice house.

Erin, we have to go back to the future. It's not you, it's your riddles.

Yeah, I get it. I get it. All right. Next one.

Okay.

As I went up a slippery gap, I met my Uncle Davey. I cut his throat and sucked his blood and left his body go easy. As I went up a slippery gap, I met my Uncle Davey. I cut his throat and sucked his blood and left his body and left his body go easy.

Vampire. What's the, what's the question? What's the riddle? This is just nursery rhyme for sick kids.

Isn't it an Irish band that sings that song? Whoa, whoa, leave me breathless. Yeah, I think that's Irish. That's Irish breath. It's not the cranberries, but that is an Irish band.

Erin, is this a vampire?

No, no, no, no. This is something, it's a fun little like, ooh, ooh, it's a funny fun little Irish way of saying it. Did you guys see Belfast?

No.

It's so good.

Are we guessing a phrase here? Is that what the guess is? We're trying to guess a phrase.

No, it's not a phrase, it's a thing.

Are we trying to guess what that person is that did all those things?

Hey Riddle Riddle. Yeah, you're close. It's something like that you're consuming that's normal.

Yes.

Yes. Is the mouth up the slippery slope or something?

Oh, is it a Capri Sun? And the slippery slope is that little hole you have to slide that little straw into.

Yep. This.

Capri Sun.

Riddle from 1800s Ireland is a Capri Sun, Adal.

Is Uncle Davey, is it like Cockney rhyming slang? Or like biscuits and gravy. Yeah. Oh, I had some Uncle Davey, you know, they mean biscuits and gravy.

Yeah. Yeah, totally.

Okay. What does Uncle Davey mean?

Adal, like you saying strawberry is like, yeah, very much you're going down the right path. It's not a fruit or food necessarily, but you're going down the right path.

So slippery gap. That's the mouth. I think the slippery gap is your mouth. Maybe I'm wrong about that.

Well, if you go up in the mouth, you go into the brain and you die.

Yeah. Oh, so it's Uncle Davey, your brain? Something's wrong with my Uncle Davey, isn't it, God?

If I were to re-give this riddle notes, which I'm not, my Irish ancestors were haunting me currently and making it so I'm allergic to everything that is in potatoes, I'm not giving you a note. I would maybe go, I wrung his throat. I snapped his throat, would have maybe left a clearer picture than I cut his throat and sucked. If you did like, I wrung his neck and sucked his blood would have been a, I think a better visual.

Is this like wringing out a wet cloth into your mouth?

No, it's something you can, yeah, you consume it, it's like a very normal thing to consume.

You consume it, but it's not food. Is it drink?

Mm-hmm. It's a drink.

It is drink. Is it, you drink it in nature? Oh, it's festive.

Like a honeysuckle? More festive.

Mm. Christmas juice. Kind of.

By the way, a cut and suck, a cut and suck is what like a old timey like 15th century barber would do. They'd be like, Here's your cut and suck.

Oh no. JPC, you are a 15th century barber. Adal, you are a guy with just like really just like a little cold. You just got like a little tickle in your throat and you just want like a lozenge or something normal or a normal haircut. You're just not looking for whatever his 10 is. Gotcha.

Hey, welcome, welcome, welcome. What can we do you for?

I think if possible I saw on the window that you'd offer a five pence cut and suck.

Yeah, this is my Barbary. My name is Bababar. This is my Barbary. And yes, it's five pins for a cut and suck. But I gotta say, your hair is already looking pretty good and your pallor is looking pretty squalid. So are you sure you need a cut and suck?

If I am to be honest, sir, I don't need the cut, but I do need the suck. My throat is a little scratchy and I need something to alleviate my pain.

Okay, okay. Well, we can leech ya. So go ahead and sit in the leeching chair. By the way, do you mind if we do a shampoo? It is included.

I do mind, sir.

Okay, it is included. So you are going to be paid for it either way.

And also, I do not... Doesn't seem fair, does it? I do not need leeches, sir. My humors are fine. It is my throat.

Yeah, we'll give you the cut and suck. Don't worry.

Also, sir, if I may, and not to give notes, is there a better way to advertise what you're offering?

I mean, I told the town crier about it. Did you not hear it from the crier?

I did. John did scream it to all the town.

Was that little guy with him?

Yes, the half man.

Ah, yes. John and his half man.

And John did look pretty in his colors. What about John's compatriot?

Did you see the sheen on him?

I did, sir. I did not care for it.

You know what? I don't care for the sheen, but when you put the sheen next to the crier... Makes the crier look a lot better, huh?

Tis opinion, sir. I require some sort of mental lip-tis. A lip-tis for the brain.

What have you done for it so far?

Well, I've tried gargling hot water, sir.

I did... Witchcraft! No, no, no, sir, I assure you... Don't bring that witchcraft into... If you even utter the word Apple, I'll kick you out of here.

Well, you just muttered it.

Okay, well, here's what we'll do. We'll make you a poultice of twigs and stems. You'll give it to an owl. You'll tell the owl to... You'll whisper a secret into the poultice first, then you'll give it to the owl. If the owl flies north, You'll have to be put to death. There's nothing for you. It's a cure. There's no cure. If the owl flies south, well that's where we'll go to the swamp.

Oh, okay. I'm willing to take the risk. And if the owl flies straight up, is that north?

You know what, I have this thing, I call it my personal sense of direction, where straight up is north and straight back is south. Exactly. Like I know that that's not right because it's got to do with the sun and everything, but it's like I can't not see in front of me as north. Like if someone's like, take a right, take a north, that's the same thing to me. Like right is always east. Do you understand? Left is always west?

I don't understand, but I do want to be in your good graces, so I am nodding my head.

Ah, my good graces. Then you've noticed my lovely wife. Yes, my good grace. And her compatriot Will. It's okay, they're just friends.

We're not. We're sleeping together.

And you keep her under the fire? For what reason?

Yes, what else? What else?

Oh, same.

Darba, Greg. For karma, for karma and Greg.

So, can I tell you what it is? It's a festive drink. It's like... Hold on.

It'll make you feel... It's a drink?

Mm-hmm.

It'll make you feel... Is it like glog or what's that stuff? More wine, glog.

No, overthinking it. A common Irish drink that isn't Guinness. Coconut, coconut juice.

Water? Baileys? Whiskey.

Yeah, whiskey.

It's whiskey.

It's a bottle of whiskey.

Is Uncle Davey a brand of whiskey?

I think it might just be like, uh, maybe an Irish listener can tell us. Um, but I cut his throat and sucked his blood. It's sort of helpful, but I think like, yeah, you snapped it.

Yeah, I get you.

I get you. I guess old Irish people were opening it with fucking swords or whatever.

Maybe if it's got like a wax seal, it was something that you like had to cut into. Maybe that makes sense. That makes sense.

I want to get through more of these because they crack me up this one. We're not stopping you. This one you're not going to be able to get, but it really, having Irish lineage and grandparents, this is a real, yeah, this is Irish nonsense.

Erin, how dare you doubt us? We will 100%. We'll get this.

Okay. Patch upon patch without any stitches. Riddle me that and I'll buy you some britches.

Needle thread. Oh, is this that old timey thing where you had two buttons and a flap on the back of pants and so you could unbutton them and just poop into the hole?

That's what it is. And that's just the sayings that were around my house and I was like, what kind of person am I supposed to be? What does that mean?

Wow.

I haven't got a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out. Some Irish idioms for you. If he was a din in a bin box and he's a for ya, he'll get ya. Tell me what that means.

Patch upon patch.

Okay, what year did Patch Adams come out?

This is not a helpful thread. Patch up on patch without any stitches. Riddle me that and I'll buy you some britches. You're not gonna get it.

Alright, so there's no stitches. It's patches without stitches. Is this like a suture?

No, it's like, I think garden patch.

I was going to say like patch of grass, like patch of... Patch upon patch, I think.

But now at this point, you're really just going to be guessing a vegetable that could be growing in a garden.

Carrot. Turn up rutabaga potato.

Ignore St. Patrick's Day at my house. It's disgusting and soggy and not good. Cabbage? Yep, it's cabbage.

Oh, a cabbage patch.

I haven't had corned beef and cabbage in a while. A cabbage patch, that's why. Yeah, it's a cabbage patch, yeah. But like, how do I lead you guys to that without going, what is a blank patch?

Erin said that we weren't gonna get it and all it took was a bunch of hints at her basically holding our fucking hands to it. And guess what? We proved her wrong.

I wanna see a quick scene. Erin, JPC, you are a farmer who grew a little garden. You've come outside one morning to check on the garden. Erin, you are a cabbage patch kid. Not that you were a doll, but you are a head growing out of the middle of a cabbage just sprouted that morning.

Hey, don't scream. Don't scream. Don't scream. I know.

Literally, the only reason I did not scream is because you said don't scream.

Thank you. Yep. Don't scream. I know. Hey, I know. I actually don't know how I got here, why I'm here, and what's happening. I did grow. I am sentient and I think I have the intelligence of a 10th grader? No. Grown woman. Grown woman. Who's to say? Don't think you should dig me up. Also scared of staying here forever. Not really sure what to do. You're the gardener. Tell me what's next.

Okay. Well, the good news is, I'm still drunk. Hey boss. This isn't happening. It's me, the scarecrow. Don't scream. Don't scream. Don't scream. Why would I? I don't... I don't... Why does everyone assume that I'm in the scream? Where's that voice coming from?

As a scarecrow. Ah!

Holy shit!

Hey, I'm not gonna get down off my post. I'm just gonna say, you should kill that. That's evil it is.

I saw that face grow out of the dirt this morning. Glass houses? Much? My god. I'm a little bit rude.

You mean a greenhouse?

No, I'm saying glass. Oh god. I'm calling you, saying glass houses. We're both, we're both weird, man. We're both scary and we're both weird.

Confirmation that I'm still very drunk. This is good. This is fine.

Oh, do you have a little bit of Uncle Davey?

Uh, okay. Yeah, I guess I must have.

Hey honey, good morning. Um, you must not feel hungover. I realized I was giving you- Where's that voice coming from? Oh my god, honey, don't scream. I'm just right behind you.

Why don't I scream?

Why does everyone think the worst of me behind you?

Oh my god, you're beautiful.

Oh god, you do this every morning. Holy crap. That's really sweet. Okay, that's nice. I'm just saying I accidentally got the nut.

The eyes, the smile, the personality, it's the whole package.

Oh my god. Okay, I'm just saying.

Legs for days, 50 years of marriage, and you're still the most beautiful thing I've ever laid my eyes on.

I accidentally bought the non-alcoholic whiskey. We haven't been drinking, actually, this week. Divorce. What?

Divorce. Divorce. Non-alcoholic whiskey.

Alright, so... Oh, Erin, I just thought I had a flash in my brain for a fun name for a coffee, and it's called Grounds for Divorce.

Wow.

That would be a fun way to find out, huh? All right. Ready? I want to get through these very quickly. So we're just going to grab them off. Adam and Eve and Pinch Me went over the water to bathe. Adam and Eve were drowned. Which of the three was saved?

Pinch me. Oh.

And that's what it says. And then you have to pinch them since they asked.

Oh this is like that's that's fantastic. That's almost like the Pete and repeat. Pete drowned who was left. Repeat. Pete and Pete were me.

Yeah then you punch that person right in the teeth. No that's fun. The adventures of Pete and Pete. As round as a marble, as deep as a cup, all the king's men could never pull it up.

Hey Riddle. Is it not Adal Riddle, Erin?

I thought that one was going to be hard. I'm very impressed. Well done.

Damn. Wait a second. I can be Irish.

Nope. You can't. Let me have one thing. Okay. Okay. All right. I am, but that's fine. No. You said. You said you'd lie.

I think all three of us are part Irish.

Nope. Nope. You said I could have one.

No, Erin, it's your thing. It's your thing.

I have one thing. As black as silk, as white as milk, it hops on the road like hailstone.

Oreo.

Kinda. Sorta cute. It's like a cute Oreo.

Cute Oreo. Oh. Hydrox.

Just an animal that is black as silk, white as milk, it hops in the road like a hailstorm.

Cow.

Skunk. No. It hops. It's a little... Bunny. Jack rabbit. This is not an animal animal that would come to mind from the first hundred animals.

It's a black and white animal that hops.

Badger. Skunk.

Sheep.

Badger. Cow. Lamb. Cat. Cool bunny. Dog.

Kangaroo.

It's a magpie.

What is that always walks with its head down? What is it that always walks with its head down? What is it that always walks with its head down? Like a stegosaurus?

This is super confusing. Maybe I'm tired, but can I just tell you guys the answer to this and then you can explain it to me? A nail in your boot. I just want to apologize for nailing your boots to the floor.

I thought it was a funny prank. Adal, I want you to play, you're gonna be playing an old ship captain, Erin and I are like newlyweds and you're taking us out on like this, it's supposed to be like this nice scenic cruise, but you're like an old kooky ship captain who is trying to warn us of the dangers of the sea.

So now that we're out in the ocean, I will stop steering the boat, we'll drop anchor, and I want you all to just enjoy the sky, but heed its warning. Keep in mind, Red at night, Sleep tight. Red in the morning. Ooh wee! It's a warning. Oh, okay, thank you. We're just... I think we're just gonna... The champagne is such a nice touch.

Yeah, thank you.

It's very nice. You didn't drink the champagne, did you?

No, not yet. We're about to do a little toast with it.

Oh, champagne is not for you to be drinking. It's to ward off the spirits. There's shark ghosts all around the ship.

We're actually celebrating something. We're just, like, trying to have some time with me.

Oh, what are you celebrating? We just got married. This is like kind of the beginning. It's like a pre-honeymoon, like kick-off honeymoon.

Like a kick-off honeymoon event.

Did you get married on a day that ends in a four?

That's not a thing. A four? A four, yeah. Oh, you mean like date-wise. What did I say?

I thought it was like a day that ends in a Y. Like there's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y. There's a day that ends in a Y.

And frankly, I'd jump off my boat right now and swim to shore and leave you two to die here. Uh, no, we didn't. I better be safe and nail your boots to the boats.

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow

Yes, of course. Here's what I need. I need, from you sir, I need 10 pieces of spit. Ma'am, from you I need a quart of blood. We paid online, I believe.

I think we already paid online. I have a website?

Oh god.

Oh, we should, see this is good. We should have asked a clarifying question. You're Captain Kevin, correct? Yes, I am Captain Kevin.

What's your last name?

Kevin.

Okay. We're on the wrong boat.

Did you go to boat.com?

Yeah, we did.

Oh, we went to boat.kevin? I'm under boat.kevin.

Oh no.

I'm having a great time on the boat.

All right. I'm going to do the rest of these so fast. Ready?

Yes. Sure.

Queen Victoria built a ship and in that ship her daughter sits and I'll be killed for telling her name. And that's three times I've told it.

Titanic. The Queen of Victoria.

Queen Victoria built a ship and in that ship her daughter sits and I'll be killed for telling her name and that's the three times I've told it.

Is her name her? You said Anne three times.

Yep, it's Anne. It's so hard to read that. I practice like so much and it's still hard. Queen Victoria built a ship and in the ship her daughter sits and I'll be killed. I know, I just wanted to get it once. You don't have to do it again. Oh God, I'll never do it again.

You don't have to do it again. So it's an Anne Taylor?

Yep. It goes under the water and over the water but never gets into it.

Under the water and over the water. It goes over the water and under the water but never goes into it. Is it like the sunrise?

Adal, I think you're gonna hate this one or love this one. I know it's gonna live in an extreme for you. It's not the sunrise.

Is it like fucking Jack B. Nimble?

Nope. It's a duck's egg that's still inside of the duck. Adal, how do we feel? Oh, I love it. I knew it. I knew it. I fucking knew it. It's so dumb. I knew you'd love it. You must stop that to that silly.

Ducks like to keep the egg inside. It's like edging for the duck.

Oh no. Oh no. As I went up a slippery gap, I met my auntie Mary. She had an iron nose and silver toes. I tipped her in the middle and away she goes.

Wine.

Nope, but I understand why you thought that based on the old one.

So is this also a drink?

No, it's not. Now it's an object. As I went up a slippery gap, I met my Auntie Mary. She had an iron nose and silver toes. I tipped her in the middle, and away she goes.

Is it like a tin soldier? Iron nose and silver toes?

Yeah, but you're really on the right track there.

Iron nose, silver toes, statue, gargoyle.

You tipped her in the way she went, right?

Yeah, so it's an object that does something. Is it being emptied?

Is it like a thermometer?

No, it's something you're, there's a way, when you empty it, it's not really the word that you associate most with. What happens when it's tipped, but it's technically being emptied of something.

Oh, a waiter.

Iron nose and silver toes mean like the old fashioned version of this thing.

I like Adal's answer of a waiter. Like when you're tipping them, you're emptying them.

I would say like, like, like, Tiptur is also like you could Like I would say you pulled her back like you pulled her. It feels like more of a pulling back motion.

Is it like the trigger of a gun or something?

Yep, you got it.

It is. Wow.

Nice. That's a good one. Riddle me, riddle me through a rock, through a reel, through an old spinning wheel, through a bag of pepper, through an old horse shin bone. Riddle me that or leave me alone. And half the children, like hundreds of children submitted this one and half of them submitted one answer and half of them submitted another, so we're accepting two.

Salt and pepper.

Riddle me, riddle me through a rock, through a reel, through an old spinning wheel, through a bag of pepper, through an old horse's shin bone. Riddle me that or leave me alone.

Black and white. An old horse's shin bone? Is this like a gravestone? God, this is... Is this an object that still exists?

Yeah, it's two very different things, but I'll just tell you, it's a maggot in lightning.

Wow.

Pretty cool.

Pretty cool. And we should say just... Yeah. Just to cover our bases, we should say never mix Uncle Davey and Aunt Mary.

Exactly.

Oh, absolutely not. Never.

Here's one more riddle.

Yes.

As I went to the fair of St. Ives, I met nine men and their wives. Each man had a cat, each cat had a kitten, kittens, cats, mens, and wives. How many were going to the fair of Ives? Fair of St. Ives.

You.

Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Just you. You're going to the fair.

Because everyone else left because that fair fucking sucks.

We did it.

I've been to that fair. It's no good. It's no good. It's a bad fair.

It's an unfair.

So I just want to thank Shane again for sending this in. I love this email with the riddles and I had a great time. And he says, PS love the potato jokes, but the accents are atrocious. Should have read that first before we dove right in again, trying and trying to never give up.

Or as we say in the old country, before we dove right over again. Hey Adal. Weren't you just saying that you had recently gone to a really bad fair and then you wanted to plug something?

Man, I got halfway through that.

JBC, just to set the record straight, I had a very bad affair in that it was with a tree and my penis is broken. JBC, I do have something to plug, which is... We mentioned this on an upcoming Patreon, but I'm going to say it here as well. I have a few games I would recommend that we all played at my bachelor party. One is called Magical Athlete, which is super fun. It's out of print, so it might be a little pricey, but maybe wait and see if they have a second printing. Also, the New Yorker Caption Game, which is one of my favorite games, and two Jackbox Party Pack games. One is called Trivium Murder Party 2, made by our friend Ernie Neekamp. And the other one is called Press the Button, which is a lot of, it's like a sussing out who's an alien or something? Was it alien or something?

I think it's an alien. Yeah, alien.

It's just kind of a blame game, tossing out. You can hack friends systems and stuff. It's very, very fun.

I had a blast.

Erin, since you had a blast, do you have anything else you want to pipe in about?

I want to plug drinking water and laying down.

Mm-hmm. Smart. Yeah, that's very smart. I'll cosign on that. Yeah, I got to do it. I got to plug Elden Ring. You got to be playing Elden Ring, people. It's an important thing. It's cultural. It's osmosis. You got to get on there and you got to play it. And if you want to see me play it, I probably am still playing it. Check out twitch.tv slash sharkbarkman. And that's all I got to plug. Erin, is there? I got an Irish riddle for you. Okay, I'm ready. Maybe you could tell me the answer. Oh boy.

It's going to be Uncle Something. Uncle Space.

No, we don't. Hold on. Just let's secure the riddle.

Just let him write. He has one written down, Adal. Write a letter for me.

Yeah, okay. Unfirling it from this old Irish scroll. Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit. What the fuck is that? Why can I see it? With my naked eyes up in the sky. Oh my god. Margaret, what the fuck is that? What the fuck is that?

Oh, Margaret's Jupiter. Hi, her hair. Jupiter. Jupiter. Jupiter. We're terrible. We're terrible.

We got it.

We got it.

No, we should bill.

Who's ready? We're doubling down.
