Which Riddle Riddle?

This is a HeadGum podcast.

I gotta tell you boys, I'm disappointed to see you back in the principal's office.

Ari, what did we do?

Okay, how did I go from a pleasure to have in class to disappointed to see you in the principal's office?

You tell me, JPC, what brought you here today?

I guess it's location dependent. I guess my only conclusion could be that it's location dependent. I guess I work really well in class and principals. Maybe I should be back in class.

Oh, he can talk to her that way because the principal's his mom.

Just because I'm your mom does not mean you can talk to me this morning.

That's gotta be what, why else would I be doing it? It's gotta be the reason.

Why can't you be more like your classmate Adal? He immediately said sorry. Sorry. He peed his pants, so he's clearly just off to a terrified start.

It's an act of submission.

Exactly.

Is that why you licked my nose when you came in?

So tell me, what did you do in class boys that got you sent here? And don't lie.

I think I know. I think I know too.

What was it?

We made other kids solve riddles.

Is that it?

That's it?

Yeah, wait, what else did you do?

Uh, no, if that was it, then that's that I'm good.

Wait, he has a firecracker in his back pocket that says, weirdly it says firecracker in huge letters. That's a name tag.

I'm a firecracker.

No, it's not the riddle thing. What else did you do? Keep guessing.

Okay, uh, every day teacher has a big shiny red apple on teacher desk and I changed it out with an orange that I spray painted red. So teacher... Bit into the skin of orange, which you are not supposed to do. I think you're supposed to peel an orange. Plus there was also paint to consider as well. Which, what do you think about it with the GMOs that we're putting into our body any given day? Also, you know, it's not so bad that he ate a little bit of paint.

GMOs? Good mouth oranges? Yeah, good mouth oranges. I'm a kid. Wait, I think I might know what it was.

Oh yeah, what was it?

Was it that JPC and I wrote, directed, produced, stage managed, acted in, and sang, and did the music for our George Michael Hamilton crossover, Whamilton?

Yeah, I can't... I can't even begin to address that. That's a problem that's much bigger than this school, okay?

I was quoting from the review.

No, no.

That's wild because verbatim that's the review.

The New York Times called it a problem that's much bigger than this school.

No boys, it's obviously that you made your classmates solve riddles. Nobody likes riddles.

Okay. That makes sense. We also named a star. We bought a star and named it after you.

Did you put fart in the name too?

Yeah.

We didn't know your true name, you won't tell us. I'm your mom! Principal fart.

Welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle, a show where we solve riddles. I'm Erin. Over there is J.P.C. Say hi J.P.C.

Hi J.P.C.

And over there is Adal. Say hi Adal.

I'm in detention.

Exactly. A show by kids, for kids, where riddles rule. So thank you for bringing up a very good point J.P.C. This is an episode that is by kids, for kids. Memory serves me. I don't think anyone who's listening right now has heard us since maybe 2019? 2018? It's been a while. Whatever the last time we did a Kid Friendly episode was. So we hope you had a great last four years. I'm sure that nothing big happened. You probably weren't stuck inside with your parents for a very long time. But now we're back with a Kid Friendly episode.

Can we do it? I know what you're thinking. You're a 20 to 30 something art historian or doctoral candidate or whatever. And you're thinking, am I going to like this episode? And the answer is no. You never do.

Why do you keep listening to this? Give up.

Get out of here you booty butt.

You're a booty butt in a poop head, and it's not for you for once, okay? Oh, I'm sorry. Millennials. It's not about you. This is about whatever's... below Gen Z? I think? What's a kid at this stage? I think we're back to A. Gen A? And that's a joke for Gen Xers.

Off to a terrible start. Now you may not believe it to her.

I can run out of wind blouse.

So later we have a couple special guests coming on, but before that we're going to do some riddles and play some games. Are you both ready?

Yes. No.

Great. And I got a quick question and you have to be honest. Were you both kids once or did you hatch out of the ground like scary crab people?

I was going to say what hatches out of the ground? Scary crab human monster people. I'll admit, I'll be honest, since you said to be honest, I was rained down from the heavens in a giant leathery egg and cracked open on the first day of December.

Knew what you were in a kid. JPC, were you a kid? Hold on.

Oh, sorry.

I became a tree. That tree grew until it reached the sun and then it burned alive. Its ashes seeped into the soil, springing forth 100 years later as a phoenix. That phoenix cried tears on a dead man's grave. I guess dead man's grave is kind of redundant, right? Does that make sense?

Well, I don't know. You could buy a grave before you die. That's fair. That's fair.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. That man came to life. He burst out of his grave. He walked into the nearest house and made himself some tea. He drank that tea. He threw the teabag in the trash. The teabag grew into a fox. The fox ran into traffic and the person who hit that fox was me.

$4,000 of improv classes. That's what it'll get you kids. You could do that too if you grow up and become an improviser. You only paid $4,000?

And I was a kid, I want to say from the ages of right about 4 to just about 12. So I have almost a decade of kid experience before they gave me the old gold watch and sent me on my way.

What are your, like, hot tips for being a kid? Like, what did you learn in that tenure?

It's bad. First day of kindergarten, find the biggest, meanest kid that you can, walk up to him, reach back your fist, ball up your hand, reach back your fist, Launch it towards this kid's center mass. You're going to aim at the center of your body and right before you get to him, open your hand, shake your hand and say, my name's Tyler. I'm a kid just like you. Nice to meet you. We're going to be best friends. And they have to say Tyler? Uh, I'd prefer it.

Great. Um, here are some riddles. You will buy me to eat, but never eat me. What am I?

Mom's cooking. I'm Tyler.

Cool!

Erin, is it something like silverware or dishes?

Yeah, it's a plate.

Heck yeah. Good job, Adal.

One point for Adal.

Wait a second. Kids don't eat on plates. Kids hate plates. Top three things that kids eat on nowadays.

Frisbees.

Their face. Number one. Frisbees. Gotta be frisbees. Slipping slides. Frisbees. Skateboards. Slip-N-Slides.

That's it. Oh, go sticks. No, wait, we're done. It's only three. Trampolines! Dang, I missed it.

I do want to see a scene.

Oh, already?

Is that okay?

Oh, it's great. I'm just impressed.

Do kids love scenes? I don't know. Erin and JBC, you are two kids and you've been left home alone. This is pretty unique. So you're home alone and you're raiding the fridge and you're kind of making your own fun treats and concoctions based off what you can find in the kitchen.

Alright, alright. I see what you've done there, and I raise you whip cream sandwich in the bread English muffin buns.

Hmm, let's see. I raise you peanut butter pickles with hot fudge.

Peanut butter pickles with hot fudge. Okay, okay, I guess we're moving into dessert a little earlier than I thought. My whipped cream sandwich was definitely a main, but that feels more dessert-y. I can play your game. Let's see, let's see. What do we have in here? Day-old kielbasa cut down the middle, filled with water from the Brita. Hey, can I blow your mind? That's the plate. The dessert goes on top of that. That's the base. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Hard-boiled egg, mustard, and a sprig of I... I don't know. This... I found this Tupperware. Question mark Tupperware. Whatever's in question mark Tupperware. I think it's diced red onion. Why would that be in there?

The garage! Dad's home! Dad's home! Dad's home! Eat this! Eat everything!

Oh, he's here.

Here he comes.

Hey kids.

Hey Dad!

I'm going to bed.

Dad, what happened? Did you get laid off from the factory again?

Yep. Tenth factory this week.

Dad, I know I'm just a kid. I don't understand what it is to be an adult, but... Maybe try working out like a Chili's. Or an Applebee's. You don't have to keep applying to cheesecake factories. You're driving hours just to work at a restaurant that you despise.

That's the thing. I don't understand. I've worked at ten cheesecake factories in the last ten days. Every day I punch in with my timecard. Then I bring the smelting tube to the table. But there's no smelting tube. Then I start to turn the coil so that the molten metal can file down the row. But there's no molten metal. It's all... it's all... Strawberry cream and Korean cauliflower, I don't understand.

Hey, hey, sit down, sit down. We made you a little something. Oh, what's this? Brings played over.

Bologna parfait.

Eat up, it's getting cold. Salisbury yogurt. Or too hot, don't know what's worse. The temperature's changing, that's for sure.

Banana dip mustard.

Before I get sick, that scene is disgusting. Okay. Four legs up, four legs down. Soft in the middle, hard all around. What am I?

I thought you were giving a review, Erin.

No. Four legs up, four legs down. Soft in the middle, hard all around.

Four legs up, four legs down. Soft in the middle, hard all around.

Oh, is this one of those beds with one of those like four post frame things, like the canopy frames?

Mm-hmm, it's a bed. Wait, is it really? Yeah, you guys are good at these riddles for kids. How do you fix a cracked pumpkin?

How do you fix a cracked pumpkin? Doesn't really skin.

Keep trying, I think. How do you fix a cracked... nope, nope. How do you fix a cracked pumpkin? Nope.

It's just like, it's just like rambleton all over again. Wake me up before you go-go. A show go... oh no, no, no. How do you fix a cracked pump- How do you fix a cracked pumpkin?

Non-punitive, like, drug legislation? Jack-o-surgery?

Jack-o-surgery? Keep in mind, some riddles for kids are also jokes.

How do you solve- Wait, no, not solve. How do- Wait, what was it? How do you solve a problem like a cracked pumpkin?

That's all that's running through my head. We can't get it right. There's too many syllables and not enough syllables at the same time. How do you fix a crack-a-ack to pumpkin? No, I put a name before pumpkin.

How do you fix a cracked pumpkin? How do you fix a cracked pumpkin? It's got to be something with gourd.

No.

You create a gourd. Carve. Maybe something with carve.

Where do you get pumpkins?

I did Jewel Oscar.

Oh, you give it a pumpkin patch. Yeah, it was a pumpkin patch. That's also to help pumpkins stop smoking.

When things go wrong, what can you always count on?

Your fingers. Parents.

Yes. Yes, and then hopefully whatever grownups in your life, you can count on them as well. I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

7. Yes. 46.

If you need to pause after these riddles, because you're a kid and maybe it's going to take you longer, then you two have never solved riddles faster. Ever.

We've suddenly... I think the confidence... Erin, if I may, from now on, let's say all riddles are kid riddles, because that gives me a little boost of confidence. That's right. Because I say, hey, I'm a 40 year old man. I should knock these out of the park.

Right. What do you call a chihuahua in the summer?

Sassy.

Yes.

And also... We call a chihuahua in the summer.

Chihuahua is famously the mascot for Taco Bell. Taco Bell famously rotates their menu. The summertime Taco Bell, they're gonna have a... He's doing it!

This is like watching the janitor in Good Will Hunting solve that problem.

What do you call a Chihuahua in the summer?

You like Taco Bell? How do you like them Taco Bells? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Oh, uh, here boy.

That's funny. Here boy, it's summer.

Is this also a joke, Erin?

Yes.

What do you call a chihuahua in the summer?

What happens in the summer?

Heat, hot?

Yes.

Oh, a hot dog.

Yeah, hot dog.

Seasoned beef. Nope. You're right. Nope. Mine's wrong.

It's seasoned beef season.

Why are teddy bears never hungry?

Um, Erin. Hold on. I don't have to tell you this. Teddy Bears are inanimate objects. Back when Theodore Roosevelt was president, he famously lent his namesake to these stuffed caricatures. Now, they're made of, I assume, some sort of wool, and then they stuff it with cotton or if they're cheaper.

Adal, these kids are not here to learn. Leave them alone. They're here to have fun.

Is there something called Feed-a-Bear where you take your Build-a-Bear and you pay like $45 and all they do is like pump air into its stomach?

Am I misremembering this? Am I misremembering this? Was Build-a-Bear Workshop like an actual store at one point? I was at the mall the other week and it's just a kiosk. It's just one of those kiosks in the center of the mall now.

That makes more sense. I don't think it needed a huge operation.

Yeah, they definitely needed it downsized, judging by the traffic that that little kiosk was receiving.

Wait, did you guys get this one?

No. Adal said stuffed like a thousand times.

Yes. Oh yeah, then that's correct. Then yeah, you could get it.

I would like to see a scene. Oh.

Okay.

Pretty big one.

Um, hmm. Okay. You are two empty teddy bears at Build-A-Bear.

Wow.

You haven't been stuffed yet.

Okay, I was going to say, I thought you meant like empty like emotionally.

Well, we'll see. Maybe we'll do that kind of mapping. Who knows?

Well, boy, I can't wait for one day to become someone's best friend.

Honestly, I'd settle for acquaintance. Oh, yeah, I guess. No, you're right. I'm overreaching. I'm overreaching.

Yeah, I don't need to be someone's best friend, you know? You're totally right. Oh, you don't have a name sent on to you. I'm not sure what to call you.

Uh, and I'm assuming your name is Build-A-Bear Workshop?

I guess it must be. Look at this tag on my butt. And your name's Build-A-Bear Workshop. We're brothers!

Well, we don't know that. We just have the same name, and in fact... Wherever we go, whatever we do, we're gonna go through it together. We're probably not brothers. You've met brothers who have the same name? I've never met anyone but you. I'm sorry. I don't remember where I was or what I was doing before I- Hey, by the way, can I ask you? Are you in terrible pain?

Excruciating.

Excruciating pain! Oh boy. Well, I hope that- I hope that one day we do get stuff. We do get some of our stuff put back inside of us and we can be. In someone's life, just part of a pastiche.

Yeah, even if I'm just in the background, like even if for two years before someone goes off to boarding school or something, if I could just be on the windowsill or something. Even the great chorus is still in the play. Oh wait, wait, wait.

Mom, I want that one. That one right there.

She's pointing in between us.

Oh no. Wait, why are there little hands stuck together? Excuse me, these two are stuck together.

We're brothers. Why those two, well, those two are a package deal. If you want to buy one of those bears, you're gonna have to take the other.

Can we afford it, Mom? Can we afford it?

No. I don't know, Mom.

Can you afford it?

No, we really can't. Well, we could, but I'm not on this.

Mom, you can't separate them, please.

You can't separate the bears. You have mom. Come on, dig deep.

Look mom, they have the same name. They must be brothers.

Dig deep? That's what you tell me? Dig deep? Listen, honey.

You can afford it if you just give up something that you like, mom. Maybe think of someone else for a change.

Yeah, mom.

Excuse me, can I tell you something? Today is my daughter's birthday. You know what she had at her party? No. She had 28 Dairy Queen ice cream cakes because 28's her favorite number. Okay. And you're telling me it's a sacrifice?

Yeah mom and no friends. No friends to share it with, please.

And why do you think that is? You're being cheap. Just give your daughter the bears that she wants. It's not my job to raise your child, I'm just here telling you you're doing it wrong.

These two bears eyes are darting back and forth between the two of you.

Well then honey no, they're haunted.

No please mom please.

These aren't haunted bears, these are good bears. Maybe you're haunted. Excuse me, is this gentleman bothering you? Hi, I'm Ted, I'm the manager here. Is this gentleman bothering you? Yes! Oh, now I'm bothering people!

He's not! He's helping me get the Magic Brother Bears and bring them home!

I'm standing up for what's right! Hold on, I do like the name Magic Brother Bears. So now, the Magic Brother Bears, that needs to be something. So yes, we will take the Magic Brother Bears.

Uh, great, okay, I'll ring you up and sir, you've been warned. This is your second warning. Okay, second warning Ted! Big Ted! Big Ted on the floor!

Oh, does he not work here?

Uh, I'm sorry, I thought he was with you.

Hahaha, same. Perfect. Uh, why did the tortilla chip start dancing?

Erin, can we just take a moment to savor the brilliance of this, the Magic Brother Bears?

Yeah.

Bambi Bees. Two! Unstuffed teddy bears, holding hands, making their way through life. Erin, I think you just created the next new hit, uh, I don't know what shows, buying kids shows. What channel is that? My bear there, my bear there, and me. Is that? There's something there. Uh oh. Erin, my apologies. I wanted to celebrate you in that moment. Can you repeat the question?

No, I'm immediately gonna commission merch that is to unstuff teddy bears holding hands.

Just like the flated little burlap sacks holding hands with their eyes darting around.

Check the merch store today, everybody. That's already in the store. Yes, please.

Brother bears.

Why did the tortilla chips start dancing?

Because it was a little salsa.

Because it was corn-flicted. Because they put on the salsa. No, it's because they were corn-flicted. No, it's the other one. Which fish costs the most?

Which fish costs the most?

Costs the most or coughs the most? I know that Grouper is the cheapest because if you get a Grouper Groupon, you get a heck of a deal.

I know sturgeons make the most money.

Yes, that's true.

Okay, this is actually incredible. I actually think that this is good.

You sounded like someone in court, like a judge, like someone pretending to be a judge. Okay, gavel, gavel, gavel. I actually think this is good.

That thing about sturgeons making the most money, what is that best on?

Adal, you have to do one back. This is tennis. This is called word tennis, and they do it back and forth with each other.

I would play this game, but I'm trying to enjoy my day. Carpe diem.

Okay. Oh, did you just say cost the most? I'm not sure if this is a real number, but is a blue gillion dollars? Is that something?

Caught you B anymore, stupid?

Caught you B. I never learned any about this in school.

Oh, school? There you go there. That's very good. Forget it.

Kiss my hella butt.

Okay. Just for the hell of it. Is it like a shark or something?

Are we looking for a fish bug?

Because we've done a lot.

Yeah, it's like, think of... Is it a real fish or is it a planet? Yeah, it's a real kind of fish.

It's a real kind of fish.

And what is worth your money in... Goldfish.

Oh, a goldfish. I'd like to see a sea. Famously the least impressive of all fish.

You don't know that. Wait, hold on.

Can I ask a real question?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah. I want to ask it, but I feel so dumb. I feel like I'm gonna get made fun of.

If only you had a safe space to participate.

Well, that's not here, so... Do you both promise not to judge me for this?

No. No, we don't.

No, we don't. Do goldfish live in the ocean? Hey Riddle. They'd be eaten immediately.

Here's my question. Do freshwater fish can't live in the ocean, right? There must be a difference between fish who can live in saltwater and fish who can live in freshwater. So are goldfish freshwater fish?

They're freshwater fish.

They're freshwater fish.

They're not ocean fish.

I was right to ask that.

I don't know what they could listen.

Let's all repeat that. I was right to ask that.

You were so brave to ask that because you really, it didn't seem like you thought there was going to be an avalanche of teasing.

Kids, remember, there are no dumb questions, just dumb podcasts.

Can you imagine being a goldfish existing in fresh water, getting taken out of the fresh water and getting thrown into the ocean water? Your brain's going to be like, Jackpot, I'm, whoa, what is this? I cannot survive at this.

This is water? My heart. What word is spelled wrong in the dictionary?

Wrong. Dictionary. Misprint. Bad dictionary printing.

It's wrong. How do you catch a school of fish? Man people just hard to watch someone get hurt the same way over and over again. You know what I mean? Aaron do you know the definition of crazy? Tempting the same thing over and over and expecting different results. How do you catch a school of fish? This one's funny.

This one's funny?

This one's hilarious.

I mean, is it like a net?

With a bookworm!

You mean some little nerd? Yes, so you two are bookworms living inside of a book. Go ahead.

Ah, good morrow. Another fellow bookworm, I see. Any good books you've devoured lately? No, good morrow to you, bookworm.

Um, I mean, yes, of course. I've been having a bunch of good books. I mean, you happened to catch me slumming it here at Grisham, which is just kind of like snack book. Oh, yes, yes, yes. Not my main book.

Of course not. I've had my Dan Brown errors.

Oh, of course.

Of course, of course.

It's like chips. You can't just have what?

No, it's like movie theater popcorn.

Oh, yes, yes. But good books! Good books, yes, yes, of course. Good books, good books. I've been reading good books, yes.

You know what I've been consuming voraciously? I've been dipping my toes back into some...ya. Is that how you say it? Ya novels.

Uh, oh, YAR novels. I love YAR novels. I had Anamorph 68.

Oh, delicious. The animals are scrumptious. I had a teaching Mrs. Tingle. I had a where the sidewalk ends. Oh yes, yes. I don't want to say the author, but I had some BFG.

Skip over that, skip over that.

Yes, of course, yes, of course. Some scary stories to tell in the dark. But I feel like a yarn of really, really sort of hits the spot. It makes me nostalgic.

You know what? This is such a snobby thing for me to say. Occasionally I get a hankering. I might just eat a sous. It's like comfort food. It's like chili. I love a good sous.

Sometimes if I'm riding a bus, I'll read a sous. Does that make sense?

You're talking to someone who ate a sous a couple of days ago. Yeah, it makes sense.

And usually when I'm on the bus, I buy a ticket from the bus, I read sous. I'll also be, weirdly enough, tying my shoes. And suddenly I'm German.

You are speaking my language. Oh wait, are you German as well? Yes, I've been hiding under this British accent. I've been hiding. My accent does feel like a German book. Same as me. W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W-W

Hey Riddle.

Better not. You bailed with a this is nice. This was nice.

Yeah, this was nice. Nice meeting both of you.

It's not like you're gonna say this was so fun, this was so exciting.

Yeah, for any kids listening, if you just went on what you thought was the best day of your life and you get a this was nice at the end, it's over. It's over for you.

It's over. Yeah, well this was so fun. See you...

Huh. Okay.

It was so nice meeting you.

See me in class? I'm transferring schools. I'll never be back to this school.

Alright, we'll see you after the 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 going to 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 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.

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. Run. Oh no. Maroon.

Is that DaVinci?

Yeah. Yes.

And bye.

We are back to Hey Riddle Riddle. Version that you can listen to with your kids in the car. Speaking of... If you're a kid out there, get ready.

Erin, that's clunky.

What?

My advice? Drop the the.

Where? I think I said the like six times.

It's just blanket advice. I think? Drop the the.

I don't remember what I said.

JBC? That's good advice when you said drop the the. Sure. I'd drop one of those thes.

I'd drop both.

Erin? Drop. Perfect.

How was that? Was that good?

Yes. So while you are in the car, wherever you are with your grown-up right now, get a piece of paper and a pen, because you're about to keep score. We are going to play Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? Hey Riddle Riddle edition.

Whoa. Okay.

This is going to be humbling. And let's see who gets the most right, you or your grown-up, okay?

Okay. Hopefully one of these questions isn't about goldfish in the ocean.

Adal, you are representing the kids. JBC, you are representing the lame grownups. Does that feel good? Kids.

Kids.

Kids. Kids. Kids. Kids. Kids. Work. Job. Responsibility.

Taxes. Taxes. That's like grownup's chance.

Do you know how many cars I've gotten for all you little kids? Appreciate me.

How many nouns are in the following sentence? The rabbit ran to the cafeteria and ate a big salad. You gotta buzz in first.

Adal. Buzz, I heard three.

Yes. Good job.

And they were rabbit, cafeteria, and salad. Great. I had one of the best rabbit cafeteria salads I've had in my life the other week.

I'm trying to think of another order to put that in. Salad rabbit cafeteria.

Salad rabbit cafeteria.

Rabbit salad cafeteria, where rabbits eat salad. Which one of these is a mammal? A seahorse, a sea lion, or a sea urchin?

Buzz.

Adal.

Sea lion. Because they go, or, or, or on land.

I was going to buzz in and say sea urchin because that's just a little 18th century Dickensian boy who is begging by the seaside.

Street rat, still I think he's rather tasty.

Sea lions are the friends who play devil's advocate because they keep going, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or, or. Which continent is the least populated? Bus. Quickly? Adal?

And Autica.

Mm-hmm.

By what? Because it's gotta be the most singular by penguins and stuff, huh?

Since the late 1930s, what calendar date has been designated for the inauguration of a United States president?

Buzz?

Adal?

I think I know this for the wrong reasons. Is it January 6th?

No. You got the right month.

It's the right month. I think, is it the January 8th?

No, it's later in the month.

It's January 20th.

So all those people were way too early.

Yeah, they were too early. Well, actually no. They were right on time. You gotta stop it early. You gotta stop that steal early.

What revolutionary leader wrote the influential Common Sense in 1770, JPC?

That would be a man by the name of Foote Paine.

Thomas Paine.

Yeah, but his friends know him as Foote.

That's like the meanest nickname I could think of in my whole life.

Hey Foote.

Hey Foote. How you doing? How many sides does a hexagon have?

Buzz. JBC.

I put a spell in you. Screaming Jay Hawkins.

That's a hexagon. Buzz. Adal.

Six?

Yes. What's a witch's favorite shape?

Hexagon. A hexagon. Well now hold on. What's somebody who's been cursed by a witch's favorite shape? Hexagon. Thank you.

Nice. That's great. What was the name of the last Queen of France?

Buzz.

Adal.

Probably something like Frou-Frou-La-Pou-Pou.

Yeah.

You get a point. Really answer. Was it Marie Antoinette?

Yes. Yes, it was. What are the three types of rock? Buzz. JPC.

Let's see. Classic, which is, I mean, that's going to be like 1971 to 1979. Alternative, that's your, like, your life house. And then there's punk. That's your, like, you know, your Johnny Rotten and your Sid Vicious and whatnot.

Actually, pretty good. Deeply uncomfortable. Buzz. Adal. Igneous. Sedentary.

Sed, yeah, sedimentary.

Sedimentary. Sedimentary, my dear Watson. Sedimentary. Sedentary, Rock. Igneous, sedimentary. And, um... Into an M. And Morpheus. Kinda. It's close. Uh, Mona... Metamorphic. Metamorphic. Thank you.

How many amendments are in the Bill of Rights?

Buzz.

JPC.

Zero. Constitution's a lie.

Great. You... nope. Every parent just turned off.

Hey, Constitution's a flawed document. I gotta tell you guys, it needs to go. We need to get rid of it. It needs to be replaced.

How many amendments are in the Bill of Rights?

Buzzed. I'll say ten.

Oh, okay. Well, JPC got it. But it doesn't get the point because Adal buzzed.

Can I get my answer? I buzzed in! Last Christmas and Hamilton wrote the other 51.

What river forms the border between Indiana and Kentucky?

Buzz. Adal. Is it the JPC?

No.

Buzz. JPC. Paducah.

Nope. It's the name of a state.

Buzz.

Adal.

Missouri.

No, it's the name of a state that our sound engineer is from.

Buzz. Buzz.

Ohio.

Adal.

Buzz. Ohio. Buzz. Casey. Tony. Buzz.

Tony. And then we have two more questions. What is the most abundant element in the universe?

Buzz.

Adal.

Love.

Yes, but also... Oxygen. Nope.

Buzz. I got to say carbon, but helium close second in that... No, helium close second. I think we're almost out of it.

No, no, no. There's plenty of helium.

There's plenty of helium. And I just gotta say, keep blowing up balloons. Because we're never allowed to have helium. Balloons are great use of helium.

No.

Wait, hold on. I think I- Oh, I know this. Buzz.

Yes.

Is it copies of Nora Jones's first CD? Hmm.

I've seen those everywhere. This is an element, Erin. Is it the Honda Element?

Oh, is it the Honda Element?

You interrupted me singing Nora Jones for your Honda Element joke?

Kids love Honda Elements.

I'd argue you interrupted yourself to answer him.

Wow.

Erin, is it copies of the board game Cranium? I've seen ten in every garage sale I've ever been to.

I feel like my parents basement has like four copies of that for no reason at all. With like the driest Play-Doh and no demand. No one has played Cranium since 2009 and I mean it.

There's no reason to. I truly feel like every household in the world bought two copies of Cranium. One for themselves, one as a gift. They all held on to them or were gifted it and already had one and it became the most unplayed game in history.

Every house has an unplayed game of apples to apples. Cranium?

Yeah. It's like how hotels have a Mormon Bible. Every single house has a drawer with an unused cranium in it.

And our last question... Oh wait, did we get the element one? Yes, it's hydrogen.

Hydrogen.

In English, lice is the plural of what word?

Buzz.

Adal.

Moose.

Yes. It's louse.

Ahh. Now, a louse.

Well, let us know who won.

Oh, Yorick, I do him well.

The grown-up or the kid?

Speaking of a grown-up and a kid, don't we have a special guest to get to? You mean special guests. Unless they're... Unless they're both. Unless they're both.

You mean louse.

They're holding hands like a bear.

We have two very, very, very, very, very special guests. Please welcome to the show Sandy and Zella.

Woo!

Hello.

Hello.

Hi Sandy. Hi Zella.

Hello. Thank you so much for coming on our special episode. Lots of people are going to be listening to this when they're traveling to and from family gatherings over the holidays and I'm so happy that you're here.

Now Sandy and Zella, correct me if I'm wrong, aren't one of you the parent of the other? Yes, but can you figure out which one?

I won't do this because I've gotten it wrong too many times. I won't fall for this.

Well, I said aren't one of you instead of isn't one of you. So I think failure is something we embrace here. Yeah, yeah, I'm the parent in this situation.

I'm the child. Inzella, what grade are you in? I'm in sixth grade.

Give me one second. I'm checking... Okay, yes, so that is a kid. Okay, so this... We've also, Zella, we've had some teens and some... And they get pretty rambunctious, these teens. And we just have to make sure we're weeding all of those out.

This one's a tween, right? You're a tween, right? I don't know.

How old are you? Are you 10, 11, 12? I'm 11. 11.

Yeah. Erin, how high were you willing to count?

I'm pretty sure Zella's not 200 years old, but I could have counted really high. Zella, what's like, what are they teaching you in sixth grade? What's the vibe like?

Insights are teaching about the solar system.

Jupiter.

And we're learning about ancient cities.

Cool. What are you doing outside of school?

Acting.

Well, well, well. Well don't get too excited, but several big casting agencies listen to Hey Riddle Riddle. Zella, I have to, speaking of, I have to ask Zella, all your classmates in school, all the other sixth graders, they probably can't stop talking about Hey Riddle Riddle, right? Does it get annoying for them to just constantly be talking about this podcast? Hey, you be honest.

Say no more. See, Zella, a lot of people talk about their reading level. Like, I read at an eighth grade level. We do comedy at a sixth grade level, so we should be actually perfect. You're in our target demographic.

What podcast do your friends listen to? That's a good question.

I don't know, actually.

Chappo. Yeah, probably. Probably. Last time I had a kid on the show, Erin, you asked him, you asked Ezra what Zella was into. Do you remember?

Yeah. What did he say?

Okay. As I recall, you said, I'm going to give you some names. You tell me if you or your sister are into it and into them. And you asked about JoJo Siwa.

Oh yeah, I did. Are you into Judge Osiwa now? No.

No?

No. Okay.

Sixth graders are not into Judge Osiwa?

No. Okay.

But you're into Owl House, which I'll say Owl House rules.

Yes. Yes.

And for Halloween, I heard a little birdie told me, you previously before we started recording, that for Halloween you dressed as?

Amity.

Amity. Heck yeah.

I have a question from before. Sorry that we're just throwing a bunch of these questions at you. Sorry. Are you taking acting classes? Are you watching YouTube videos about it?

How's it going? I do an after school and sometimes I do like I've been doing a camp.

You went to camp for acting.

I went to camp for acting over the summer and then last year I did like a after school Yeah.

And now you're doing something at school.

Yeah.

Yeah. Do you want to say what show you're in?

I'm in Suzical, the musical this year. Fun! I love Suzical.

That was my senior year in musical when I was in high school. Really? Which was basically yesterday. You're crying. Boy.

Do you have a favorite song from Suzical?

Not really. I don't really remember.

J.P.C. J.P.C.

I know!

No. Yeah. I saw that musical, I think when I was in the fifth or sixth grade for the first time. And not a week has passed without the amazing Maisie song being stuck in my head. Yeah, that's gonna be, spoiler alert, 20 years from now, that song's still gonna be stuck in your head. So just careful about how often you listen to it.

It's gonna be a lot.

Unless at that point there's some sort of device where you can store your memories or earworms on an external drive, but we won't get into that. That's scary. It's scary to think about external brain drives. Do we have... Erin, are we doing riddles for kids?

Yeah, I think so. Are we ready? Do you have anything prepared or shit? What's going on?

We do. We have something. We brought something related to the previous topic. You want to tell them what it is?

Yeah, so we got a bunch of musicals and we described them, but we changed the key words to words starting with the same first letter and it has the same number of syllables in the word.

Now, listeners, you could not have seen this, but at the mention of we're doing riddles about musicals, Erin did a backflip while seated.

I'm not gonna be too braggadocious here, but I'm gonna win. I'm gonna beat the two guys.

They don't know anything.

Oh, of course you are. That's awesome. I can't wait. I'm ready.

So we wrote descriptions and we changed them up and Zella's going to read them and you have to guess what they are. And that's the game. You want to give them an example?

Yeah. So this musical is a true story of a fungus fruitcake who grew up in ostrich and died when he was shot in a dump truck by angry bees. He sings, I'm not tossing away my sponge.

That took a turn. So this is a play on Hamilton, but we're looking for... So the answer is Hamilton, and now you have to tell us what the words have been changed from. So say it again slowly.

So this musical is a true story of a fungus fruitcake.

So those two words have been changed to words that start with the same letter and have the same number of syllables. A Freedom Fighter cool guy.

A founding father who grew up in ostrich and died when he was shot in a dump truck. Shot in a duel. My Angry Bees.

By Aaron Burr.

No, it was Angry Bees shaped like fur.

I'm sorry.

He sings, I'm not tossing away my sponge.

Not throwing away my shot. Very cool. This is wonderful.

I would love to hear a cover. I am not tossing away my sponge. You just said that how you can keep using a sponge longer than you think.

That feels like a kid's pop. A kid's pop.

If you buzz for nothing, Burr, what will you sting for?

Love it. Love it. Write the whole thing. You ready? Yeah. This is a blast.

Number two.

Number two. This musical is about the sad whales of Hedwig the egg. Two of them got their hair cut off. Whoa.

Hedwig the egg. The sad whales.

The sad whales is obviously wives. Sad whales, yes.

That's Henry VIII. This is 6th the musical. Correct.

Who got their heads cut off.

I didn't get it either until I said wives. Then I was like, oh, it is wives.

So embarrassed that I didn't get it. That's so good.

Have you seen six? Have you seen six, Zella? Yes.

Do you have a favorite queen? Um, Anne Boleyn. She's funny.

She was Anne Boleyn-v-able.

Adal, stop. No, it's fine.

He's incorrigible. We're sorry, Zella. We apologize about that.

You deserve better.

Okay. Um, number three.

Nobody asked me, but I like Catherine of Aragon. I guess no one was probably gonna ask me. Casey cut that.

No, don't cut it. I like it too. She's got a great song. Okay, number three. This musical, A Road Opener by The What, is about a drunk, dead, and blonde boy who becomes a popcorn walnut. This is, um...

This is the Who's Tommy. The Who's Tommy at poor deaf, blind, and kid.

Deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball. Guess who saw the Who last week? I did.

Who?

And guess what? They're like 80 and they were amazing.

Wow.

Isn't that crazy?

That is crazy.

I thought they would sing and dust would come out, but turns out they're so very, very confident.

So... The first phrase was a road opener by the what? What's a road opener? A road opener.

A rock opera.

Rock opera by the who.

And he becomes a... Oh, who becomes a popcorn walnut? Popcorn.

Pinball wizard.

I prefer popcorn walnut. That is what I'll be singing from now on. Thank you.

Now, guess who was... Who played the role of young Tommy in Tommy This Summer?

Elton... Zella?

What? No, Erin, that's too obvious.

I play Tommy Jones.

Oh my gosh.

She just searched every pinball machine, every ATM machine.

I played four-year-old Tommy. I played four-year-old Tommy.

Cool. Hey, put that on your resume. Your age range is you can play between four and 13.

Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Alright, next one.

Next one. This modern musical is a love story between orchestra and esophagus as well as between honey and pomegranate. It is based on great metaphysics and takes place in the unconscious.

I don't know the tell. This is about Orpheus and Eurydice. Oh boy, I'm going to have to hear the other words to remember.

Adal started raising the roof and then stopped listening. As well as between honey and pomegranate.

Hades and Persephone.

It is based on great metaphysics.

Greek.

Mythology.

Metamucil. We all said mythology.

And takes place in the unconscious.

In the underworld.

Yes. Woo!

Are you a big Hadestown fan as well? Yeah. Yeah.

That's awesome. You saw it live, right? Yeah.

Oh nice. Did you see the tour? I saw the touring cast. I loved it.

She saw the tour, yeah.

Loved it.

My wife has a full sleeve Hadestown tattoo. Yeah, Adal's wife has a tattoo on her arm of a scene from Hadestown. A scene from Hadestown? Yeah, what scene is it? It's when Orpheus is belting his tune to woo Eurydice.

Zella, what do you think? Do you think you want a tattoo?

No.

Yeah, smart choice. 33 years old, Zella, no tattoos. Just so you know, you can make it.

You know what? I lied. It is not the scene. The scene is when they're getting out of Hades because the hanging lights are there. I'm so sorry.

It's tattooed on your wife and you don't know. I know, I blinked.

I blanked. I really teed you up there Adal.

I don't know my wife's arm at all. Alright writing down for a future Hey Riddle episode a wife's tattoo segment. I'll tell you right now I'm gonna get it two out of two. I'm gonna knock it out of the park.

I know my wife's right arm like I know my right arm. Which is not very much. Alright do the next one.

This movie musical is about sizzlers named Empty and Apron, and one of them has the power to flush things. They meet a guy named Kleenex who has a pet roadkill named Skin.

Siblings is close. Oh, oh, oh, oh, sisters. This is Frozen. This is Frozen. Oh. But the names in Frozen are like Ella and... No. Hold on. Hold on.

Is this Osmosis Jones? Remember that Chris Rock musical?

To be fair, when it's Taco Bell, it reappears. Immediately.

Little Red Riding Hood, love it. And Chrysanthemum.

And Cinderella. Cinderella. Yes. Wow, that's an all-star cast.

Zella, do you have a favorite song from Into the Woods? No, I like them all.

Zella also has Into the Woods on her resume.

What were you into to do it? Oh cool, that's magic.

And of course we are kind of like feigning surprise here because we did vet Zella pretty extensively before she came to the podcast. And we said, you know, for all the tweens who want to be on the show, a minimum of four casted parts speaking parts. If you're doing chorus, sorry.

If you do the chorus line, now we're talking.

We don't have anyone on the show who hasn't played Tommy at one age. You have. That's the bar that's set.

Zella, can I ask you, when you go out for these musicals and stuff, do you audition for them? Yeah. Do you have a song that you sing for an audition?

Usually.

What song do you usually sing?

Well, it's from the musical.

Oh, wow, that's bold. Okay. You say, hey, I'm going to be singing the lead part for this musical, and then you do a big wink.

They give them a song, right? They give you a song to sing from the musical?

They give us, this year for Cisco, depending on what part we want, we have a different song that we sing.

Have you auditioned yet for me, Cisco?

No, we're going to do that in like December.

Okay. Zella, when I did Suzical, do you want to know what I auditioned? I did a song from the musical. Do you want to know which one?

Yeah.

I did the Lorax rap. Are you familiar with that part of Suzical?

No.

Well, guess who got cast as the Lorax in Susan?

I'll have to remember saying trees three to six times is considered a wrap next time I do that. All right, you gonna do the next one?

Let's see if they have this one.

I would not get this one.

Okay. This movie musical is a love story between a bankruptcy player named Tyre and a new kid named Galapagos. They audition for the molecule, but Shockwave tries to ruin it.

Okay.

We're all in this together. And we go hand in hand. It's High School Musical. Of course.

This is HSM. This is HSM for sure. Hold on. What is this?

High School Musical.

High School Musical.

High School Musical came out I think when I was just a year older than you, Zella. And I remember being in middle school and people singing it every single day. Everyone was so obsessed that it became like a nightmare. Because everyone, that's all we were talking about for a while.

So are you familiar with the whole universe of High School Musical? There's a high school-averse? Yeah, because now Zella and Sarah watch High School Musical Musical, the series.

I auditioned for that to be the drama teacher in it. And spoiler alert, I didn't get it.

Well, this is, I will own up to this because I did tell Erin to audition with the Lorax rap. Oh.

Trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees, trees.

I do think High School Musical 2 is so funny. Have you seen that one yet, Bella? I've seen them all.

Yeah. The second one, they're the baseball song. Sometimes we just watch that at my house because it makes us laugh so hard. Yeah. We should, we need to still do the details of this one though, right? The words.

Oh yeah. Yeah.

This movie means it's a love story between a bankruptcy player. Basketball.

Basketball player. Oh, so he does play basketball. Well, well, well.

You got that part right.

Whose fake song is correct now?

But Shockwave tries to ruin it.

Sharpay tries to make it better. Sharpay has been doing drama forever. These two come waltzing in. Team Sharpay.

Yeah, and this is a ratio of Sharpay's like weird brother or whatever. What's his name? He's in there too, huh?

Yeah, he's in there.

Alright, I'll do the next one.

Okay.

Alright, which ones do you wanna do? And Zella, I'll Venmo you $20 if you do ones I know. What are the other tattoos on your wife's body about? Sandy, Sandy, Sandy, wouldn't you love to know?

And we're back from a 25-minute break, so let's go right into the next movie musical.

This musical is about a poor velvet grill whose fairy gets captured by a brain. She takes his place and makes friends with a turkey, certificate, and clam. The brain needs to kick someone before the last peanut falls off a rock.

Now Zella, I don't know what happened here, but you just spoke a bunch of gibberish. Is everything okay? Yeah. And I think you fell into a British accent for a second. Which is a thing you do all the time. You're about to tuck. You fall into it. Stay well.

She's an actress, Sandy. She's practicing her craft.

I know. Yeah, that's actually a North Atlantic accent.

What did I do with a British accent?

The first part was, was PVG the three initials for that first... It was just the VG. VG. This musical about a poor velvet grill. A poor Victorian girl, assuming this is Les Mis, a poor unfortunate soul, a poor Vegemite grill.

Is any of what Adal said correct? Girl is right.

A poor fairy gets captured by a brain. She takes his place and makes friends with a... Turkey certificate and clam.

Turkey certificate and clam. I don't know this at all.

We never got the V, right? So it's not Victorian. Is it... Valley. Valley girl. Is it vulture girl? Virtuous girl? I think the last sentence is the most helpful. Say the last sentence again.

The brain needs to kick someone before the last peanut falls off a rock.

Oh, this is Beauty and the Beast. She has to kiss someone before the last petal falls off the rose. Save what would be a poor village girl. If there she goes, that girl is such a weirdo. She's always playing with her hair. She's only two feet tall and she looks like a ball. Let's trouble her. Her name is, of course, Zella.

No one. Trees like Lorax. No one. Trees like Lorax. No one. Trees or a trees or a trees like Lorax.

But you simply admit these trees are licious. So the fairy, whose fairy gets captured by a brain. Beast.

His father gets captured by the beast.

She makes friends with a turkey, certificate, and clam, a timepiece, a candlestick, a clock, a candlestick, and a teapot off of the cup and bell champ. Speaking of Riddle. Alright, they got it. Last one. Okay. We'll go into the last one. Zella, did you realize that adults could be idiots as well?

This animated musical is about a potassium girl named Memory who navigates the orange to save her iris. She has to outsmart a chalk who is very solid and is helped by a diagram named Lemon.

I just rewatched this.

Diagram named Melon.

Erin's got it. Erin's got it. Erin's got it.

I got it, but do you guys need a... Do you want to get it?

Page Master.

It's Moana.

Thank you. Can you go through it? Alright, so I'm staring at the side of my wall.

It's about a potassium girl. Polynesian girl named Memory Moana and navigates the Orange Ocean to save her Iris Island She asked to outsmart a chalk Crab who is very solid and is helped by a diagram named Melon Thank you so much for doing this.

Hey, Zella. Thank you so much for being on the show. I'm sure everyone in your class is listening because they love Hey Riddle Riddle because we paid for an advertisement in Roblox. But is there anything you want to say to all of your friends out there who are listening to the show?

No.

Yeah. Love it. How about that haters? I don't even think about you. I don't even think about you. I'm on another level from you other kids.

Zella, when you're a famous actress, I'm gonna play this for everyone I know. I'm gonna go see who I met before she was famous. I met Zella. We talked for a while.

You think she should just go by Zella when she's famous? Oh yeah. Sing my name. Yeah.

Paula Madonna, just Zella. Love it. Thank you so much for taking the time to write those. Thank you, Zella. And for coming on the show and for being so lovely.

Sandy, you didn't do much. No, no, I didn't. We could have taken her leaving you.

Thank you.

But we love Zella. Thanks for having us. Anytime.

Thank you. Ah, well that was fun. Let's do episodes for kids more often. What do you say guys?

Yeah, well this is, we've done it every two years?

Three years. Every three years.

Let's do it every two years.

Let's go down.

Wow, let's really, let's ramp up production by 33% and go every two years. Huge ramp up for us. I think that works. Yeah.

Um, well speaking of us, uh, do you guys have anything? Do you guys have anything to plug? Adal? Adal, anything to plug?

Yes, I have something to plug. Uh, I have very much been enjoying. I just finished it and I think it's pretty spectacular. The English on Amazon Prime. It's a six part miniseries from the BBC starring Emily Blunt. I thought it was very well done. Uh, very interesting, very weird, very fun. And kids would like this, you think? No, no, no. Hey for kids, check out where the sidewalk ends by Shel Silverstein. Really anything by Shel Silverstein. Well, hold on, not everything because he had some adult stuff. So check out.

You're getting the red light. Yeah.

Check out where the sidewalk ends. Erin, anything you would like to plug?

I would like to plug where the sidewalk ends by Shel's. Dang it. You already plugged that. I'd like to plug, since we heard a little bit about musicals in this episode, if you're a kid who likes musicals, I think you should check out Better Nate Than Ever on Disney+. GPC, anything to plug?

Yes, something specifically for kids to listen to. Kids, check out the 1977 album Rumors by Fleetwood Mac. I think that there's a lot going on behind the scenes in that album that is not appropriate for kids, but I think the final cut of the album is pretty appropriate for kids. So I think that you'll like the 1977 album Rumors. By Fleetwood Mac, and of course, I will see the rest of my plug time to read a five-star review. This five-star review comes from Bumblegumbackfat. Bumblegumbackfat writes, Casey, start the outro music. Jupiter, goodbye forever.

What?

I didn't even- I didn't even- Let it go, Erin.

Let it go. Noooooo!
