Which Riddle Riddle?

#233: Nuckin Futs!

00:00:02

Erin

This is a HeadGum podcast.

Adal

Time. Time. Do another one or what do you think? The times were pretty good, so... Hmm. I think Charles Dickens would disagree with you. The times were very good. Interesting.

Erin

That's an optimistic view of the beginning of that book.

JPC

The times are very good. The times are very bad.

Erin

It was the best of times. It was the... It was okay.

Adal

You there boy. What day is today? Why it's the best of times. This feels like a trick. I'm gonna stay inside. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Hey, it's 2023. We all know it's 2023. I have some very exciting news. Is everybody sitting down? Yes, I always record sitting down just in case there's exciting news. Okay, so, oh, you have a little blanket over your lap. That's, uh, yeah, you're looking very chic.

00:01:17

JPC

And I'm not doing anything under here.

Erin

Oh.

JPC

That makes me think you are. Well, my hands get very cold so they have to be under the blanket.

Erin

We really did have a clean slate here and then we immediately came all over it I guess. Keep going.

???

I'm not doing anything.

Adal

Okay, okay. With 2023, as of January 1st, all of the original Sherlock Holmes material by Arthur Conan Doyle is public domain, which means we can finally... Yes. We can finally publish our book, Sure Pop and Sherlock, which is Sherlock and his dad, as a dance battle crew, solving crimes, winning dance battles. You got Sure Pop, you got Sherlock. Sequel what, son? And I don't know why his father is Sure Pop, which is a different last name, but we'll figure it out. Of course, we haven't written it. We just had it on the back burner. But as of this year, public domain, let's go Nuckin Futs. Anything we want to do to show up.

00:02:21

JPC

Oh, Adal, 2023, fucking nuts is public domain. We can finally say it again.

Adal

Oh, I've been saying Nuckin Futs for so long because I know they're litigious, famously. The fucking nuts people would've sued your fucking nuts off. They would've sued the blanket off your lap. Yeah. Something's going on in there.

JPC

I just, my hands are cold. Okay fine, I'll have cold hands for the rest of the podcast. They're here. What are those gloves? These are my jelly gloves. I'm gonna have babies get on my fingers. We're the same.

Erin

We're the same.

JPC

But different. We're the same now.

Erin

Happy New Year, fellas!

JPC

This is a mind fuck for us because When we were recording this before the end of the year, it's 2022. This is coming out as the first step of 2023. Wow. So we're basically time traveling. I thought we could do what I think is everyone's favorite thing to do on the show and maybe predict some celebrity deaths.

Adal

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. Here's what I'll say. Number one with a bullet. And well, they're not shot. Rainforests are gone.

00:03:26

JPC

Oh yeah, tell me, tell, we gotta say how they died too. Rainforest or gun?

Adal

Bullets. Okay.

JPC

Bullets. Bullets take the rainforest in 2022.

Adal

Is it safe to say rainforests are celebrities? We know the name, we can know about them. Sure. Yeah. By, by 2023, I'm going to say January 2nd, rainforests are gone.

JPC

I got a real one. Yes.

Erin

Okay.

JPC

Rahm Emanuel, former mayor of Chicago, current ambassador to... Don't say I have a real one. Rahm Emanuel, eaten by a helicopter.

Erin

Okay.

JPC

Top, top, top. Helicopter Eats Robin Manual. He's gone before 2023. That's my prediction.

Erin

I got one.

Adal

Do you have one?

Erin

Yes. I think Bluey's dad is done for. Can I guess how he died, Erin? Do you want to or do you want to just let dead dogs lie?

Adal

Did he improv support his kids to death?

Erin

Yeah, he did.

Adal

Okay, I'm gonna say... Okay. I mentioned Rainforest. I'm gonna say legit. I'm putting money on this. Legit. Legit. Legit. Chris Isaac due to a wicked game. Some sort of weird sex thing.

00:04:37

JPC

I know Isaac's gonna go to a wicked game. Yeah. A wicked game's gonna get Isaac. I'm not gonna go on the record. A wickedly talented.

Adal

Okay, so so far, it's all men. It's all men dying.

JPC

So far, but statistically, it's more likely.

Adal

Yeah. I'm gonna say Chris Kattan, do two.

Erin

No, come on.

Adal

What? No, it's okay.

JPC

If it was his time, if it was his time, he's gonna play Mr. Peepers one too many times. The remaining cast, the remaining living cast of the movie The Expendables, and it's all going to be Adal Rifai. We're talking Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Statham. I think Junk Lab and Bam, I think Tony Ja, I think Dog One Group. I'm going to email Jason Statham at gmail.com and just say, please don't jerk off before the new year. A shocking amount of celebrities just have their full name at Gmail as their email.

00:05:42

Adal

JPC, do you mind calling them right now?

JPC

Yeah, call them right now. Hold on. Give me one second and I'm dialing.

???

Oi bruv, this is Jason Statham. What's up? I think I got an answering machine.

???

I think I got an answering machine.

???

I'm just joshing, you fucker. I'm not here right now. Please, please, a beep after the tone. There's a joshing you there. I'm waiting for the beep. This is what I say if I was an answering machine, but this is really Jason Statham. Go for Statham.

JPC

He's there, he's there, he's there. Oh, thank God. Jason, this is JPC from the podcast Hey Riddle Riddle. You're on the air. Well, I mean, no, we edit this. Is this in regards to a new transport or movie? No, Jason, I need to tell you. You and the rest of the cast of The Expendables. Hey Jason, were you in The Expendables? The first one? Uh, yeah.

Erin

Get to the point, Jason! Quick, quick, quick!

JPC

If you don't jerk off before the end of the year, you could die of Adal Rifai's association.

???

Oh, this blanket is just to keep my hands warm. You gotta trust bubs. Believe.

00:06:46

JPC

Trust. You're talking to a guy who knows the score, okay? It's not for that. Well, that's the end of the Jason Statham bit. So, RIP to it.

Erin

I have something I want to talk about because I'm old man puzzles. First of the year, kind of the most important old man puzzles of the year, sort of setting the tone.

Adal

Yeah, to date. Okay, we'll give it to you.

Erin

Really important, I'm an important person. Okay, so you know how people do New Year's resolutions? Of course. That's not quite what I think is going to be best for us this year. I think that we should all adapt new mantras. Us, listeners, everyone's going to have a new mantra this year.

Adal

Oh my gosh, I've always wanted to adopt a mantra. They're beautiful oceanic creatures. Huge fans. They get a bad rap.

JPC

Ever since I fostered those fucking puppies, I'm done adopting mantras. Maybe I will foster a mantra for a little while, but adopting is just a whole thing.

00:07:53

Erin

So I have a list here of mantras, but we're going to do a little Hey Riddle Riddle spin on them. They're a little dull. So I'm going to read a mantra and then we're going to fix it. And then if it speaks to you, listener or you, JPC Adal or Casey, you can adopt that as your new mantra. All the people. Yeah. Are you ready? Here's the first one. Yes. My mind is brilliant. My body is healthy. My spirit is tranquil. So, how would we fix that? How would we make that better?

Adal

Oh, I think, to summarize that one, I'm a little braggart. I'm a little braggbag.

Erin

I think I'm a little braggbag. Tall and cute.

JPC

Okay.

Erin

Tall and cute. I'm a braggart. Okay, that sort of feels like we're... That's great. That's great. How about this one?

JPC

Wait, I think I wanted to give my take on that one. Can you read it to me one more time, Erin?

Erin

Yes, of course. My mind is brilliant. My body is healthy. My spirit is tranquil.

00:08:58

JPC

Okay. My tits are poppin'. My booties don't stop it. And I'm going straight to the top.

Erin

Okay, that one's mine. No one else can take it. I wanted that one.

JPC

I create my own path and I walk it with joy.

Adal

I'm a landscaper.

JPC

I drink my own piss.

Erin

And that's it?

JPC

I'm a landscaper and I drink my own piss.

Erin

I drink my own piss and that's the only part of that? Okay.

JPC

I'm sorry. I drink my own piss and it tastes like bok choy. And I've had bok choy today. Had a bunch yesterday.

Erin

My positive thoughts guide me to new heights.

Adal

Mmm. My name is David Blaine. I don't think anyone can tell you how to do your mantra. Your mantra is your own, and if you want to make your mantra that you're David Blaine, Lord help you. And of course, for listeners who are looking for an easy way to mantras, I do have the infinite live mantra code, which is up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right. So that starts, that starts. Start, A, B, A, B. And that for mantra or for mantra two or three, I believe that gives you infinite lives.

00:10:18

JPC

A little change. Yeah. What is it? God. Down, up, down.

Erin

But do you want to win life with a cheat code or do you want to win life because you put in the hours?

???

Cheat code. Okay, great. Secret of mantra, I think is where I'm going with that. Secret of mantra. Super mantra? Super mantra brothers?

Erin

I am conquering my fears and becoming stronger each day.

JPC

I am conquering Algiers and becoming the nation of France.

Adal

Battle of Algiers, criterion collection.

JPC

Uh-huh. I'm conquering my fears and becoming stronger every day.

Adal

Okay. This is my fight song. Take back the night song.

Erin

Why does that sound familiar?

Adal

End of mantra.

Erin

Nope. End of mantra.

JPC

I'm conquering my fears and growing stronger every day. The people who silently judged me on the bus will one day be pumping my gas.

00:11:22

Erin

Um, I will have a good day because it's my choice.

Adal

Because I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh, not many people like me.

JPC

I'll have a good day because it's my choice. Huh. I will have a good day because it's God's will. Life's a fucking buffet.

Adal

And I'm getting soup.

Erin

And I'm getting soup. Okay, that's a good one.

Adal

I'm getting soup.

JPC

I'm in actually a really bad lawsuit right now, and uh... Law soup is a great name, hold on.

Adal

Right next to our coffee shop, which we already settled on, grounds for divorce, which we'll cater towards.

Erin

Fighting couples.

Adal

Fighting couples. We will have lawsuit, which is soup solely for lawyers, or those being sued, or jurors.

JPC

Do you think that lawsuit would be, or some variation of that would be a good place to sell suits to lawyers? Because lawyers need suits.

Adal

What if we had paw suits and it was suits for dogs?

Erin

You know how dogs and dogs can have a dress up? You know how dogs and dogs can have a dress up? I just threw all my money at you. Ow! We should be writing this shit down.

00:12:24

Adal

We should be writing this shit down.

Erin

We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down.

JPC

We should be writing this shit down.

Erin

We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down.

JPC

We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down.

???

We should be writing this shit down.

Erin

We should be writing this shit down.

Adal

We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down. We should be writing this shit down.

Erin

I'm not afraid to be wrong. Now I don't relate to this mantra.

Adal

This sounds like a riddle.

Erin

I'm not afraid to be wrong.

Adal

I'm not afraid to be wrong. I have no common sense. This is, what's the opposite of Thomas Paine? Thomas Taine? Thomas Taine.

???

Yeah, I guess so, Thomas Taine.

Erin

Thomas the Taine engine? That's something.

Adal

Adal, you can say fucking nuts.

JPC

That's something. That's something. I am, what is it? I'm terrified of being wrong? What is it? No. I'm not afraid to be wrong.

Erin

I'm cold to be alone?

JPC

I am not afraid to be wrong. You know what this sounds like? It sounds like one of those things that they say on Real Housewives when they do their little intros. When they do their little intros.

00:13:29

???

Those are kind of mantras.

JPC

Yeah, I am not afraid to be wrong is pretty good. I can't remember. Mariah made me come up with one of those Real Housewife intros and I don't remember what mine was.

Erin

And my dog's haircut is $600, but they all sound like that.

Adal

Erin, here's what I'll say. So far out of all the mantras, real or fake, this one resonates the most with me, because I'll say in the last, ever since March 2020, I have something that I like to call Troublesome Archival Retrieval, which is where I am talking and I search for a word and it doesn't come, or I search for some information that's just not there anymore. It's checked out from the library shelf where it used to sit. So I'll just say whatever I want to say just in terms of continuing with the story or getting my idea out there and I'm fine with it but then someone will DM me and say hey buddy real quick when you mentioned that the Ninja Turtles friend was Casey Sullivan it's actually Casey Jones. So I'm okay being wrong because the listeners will correct me.

00:14:36

Erin

And our listeners do have permission to use that entire explanation as a mantra, right? Yes, absolutely. Okay, good. Well then that's yours to use, everybody. It's a little long, but if you could memorize it, I think it would be helpful to you.

JPC

All right. All right, Cliff. I remembered my Real Housewives intro.

Erin

What is it?

JPC

It's going to say JPC, and I'm going to say I'm dumb, I'm loud, and I'm doing crimes.

Erin

Not bad. Alright, I got a new one, ready?

JPC

Wine crimes. Wine crimes.

Erin

My body is a temple, I keep my temple clean.

Adal

John Mayer. Yeah, that's John Mayer for sure. Wait, are these still riddles?

Erin

Yeah, what game are we playing? My body is a temple, I keep my temple clean.

Adal

My asshole is a tunnel of love, and you could eat off the floor.

Erin

Vacuum the crumbs off my body. I will vacuum the crumbs off my body.

JPC

I got one. Okay, here's mine. My body is a temple and Sunday's service will be Taco Bell and porn. What a mess.

00:15:41

Erin

What a mess. Oh, that is a mess. I listen to my body and I give it what it needs, similar to the last one.

Adal

I listen to my body and I give it what it needs. I listen to my body and I give it what it needs. My body is bangin' and I stuff it full of Papa John's. Yep.

JPC

I got mine. I sit upon the potty and I push until it bleeds.

Erin

Oh no. Oh no.

Adal

Every time?

Erin

Every cell in my body.

Adal

I clean myself out. That's what Elvis did.

Erin

Every cell in my body is alive and beautiful. Every cell in my body is alive and beautiful.

Adal

Every cell is beautiful. This person's full of shit.

JPC

Oh I got mine. Every cell in my body is alive and beautiful. My upgrade of this is everybody's face is full of tiny bugs.

00:16:43

Erin

Everything inside me is alive and it's trying to destroy me.

JPC

There's a constant battle on my dermis and it's between the bugs and my cells.

Adal

I'm gonna go with every cell begins with K. I love it.

Erin

Let's do two more and then we'll get to some real riddles. I will speak with confidence and self assurance.

Adal

Speak softly and carry a big dick.

Erin

I love it.

JPC

Kerry with the biggest dick has got to be Elwes, right? Gotta have a unit on that guy.

???

Oh yeah.

Erin

I will speak with confidence in self-assurance. The last one is my commitment to myself is... Wait, self-insurance? I didn't say it with confidence. Can you do that? Oh no, oh no. That's the last one.

Adal

I think they call that life insurance. You hit my car. Can I get your self insurance?

00:17:44

Erin

My commitment to myself is unbreakable. That's our last one.

Adal

I am a Christian virgin.

Erin

Cool. I like it. What else?

Adal

I'm a Christian virgin with a blanket on my lap. I'm a Christian virgin with a blanket on my lap.

JPC

I cancelled plans with me twice and I didn't have the courage to say anything about it.

Erin

Alright, that's a really good one, yeah.

JPC

That's good. Have you cancelled plans with yourself?

Erin

Almost every day, all the time, always. Four times today already.

Adal

Hold on, I don't know if I've cancelled plans with myself, but for the last ten years I have called in sick to work doing stuff around the house.

???

That's right.

Adal

I'm like, I'm going to hang up that piece of art today. I'm like, nope, calling in sick. And I do that just for three months straight. I get fired, which means Gemma hides the piece of art. We're never going to hang this up, so it's going away.

JPC

Just puts it in the big pile of stuff that will never go on the walls.

00:18:49

Erin

Thank you so much. You can use any of those mantras, the two of you, Casey, everyone listening. Or if I were you, I would bury this podcast under a rock and walk away and not look back. But whatever floats your boat.

JPC

Have either of the two of you ever used a mantra before?

Adal

No, but that's a big thing. If I'm not mistaken, that's a big thing in meditation, right? To have a mantra that you repeat? Or specifically transcendental meditation?

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

I believe you have a mantra in that.

Erin

A meditation that you do when you're going on that flight? Yes, a Transcendental. I have a Transcendental accent. I couldn't make the joke out at all. Did you see me choke on the joke? I was like, I can't get it out. Okay, I actually do want to do some riddles. Stop stalling, boys. Stop stalling. I love riddles and I want to do them. Boys, stop stalling, boys. Okay.

Adal

And you're pointing to your watch and making a stretch out motion.

00:19:52

JPC

I forgot almost the most important check-in of every year. This year and every year.

Erin

Don't ask me about the splits. Don't.

Adal

Have you learned to do the splits?

Erin

How did you know I was going to ask that? Stop it! No, leave me alone!

Adal

Truly, how did you know I was going to ask that?

Erin

Because I know it. I know I want to know what. I keep canceling the plans with myself to try to do the splits. Wow. So.

JPC

You know what they say? The older you get, the splitter you with.

Erin

Love the longer splits.

Adal

Erin, if I can give you just a vision to give you a little push towards learning the splits. If you learn the splits next time you're out to dinner with Sean and the waiter comes and says, do you need anything else? You can say, we'll split the check while dropping out of your chair completely into the splits, raising your arms in a ta-da fashion and making unbreaking eye contact with a big smile.

00:21:00

Erin

And how amazing would that be?

JPC

Even if you learn how to do the splits, you've practiced it at home and you can do it pretty reliably, I'd beg of you not to do that. I know you, and I just know that whatever you think will happen will not happen.

Erin

My pants.

JPC

Oh, my pants. Erin, I got a deal. This will sweeten the pot. Okay. If you, you know, you put in the hours, you practice every day, if you are able to do the splits, and you can do the splits, I will do the splits without ever trading or practicing.

Erin

Okay, that might be the way I did.

JPC

If you can get to the place where you can do the splits, I will also do the splits, and I will Probably break both of my legs.

Erin

Well, the joke is on you because I am doing Pilates now and I'm much closer to the splits than I was this time last year. So get ready to rip your body in half, dum-dum, because I'm coming for you. I can't record Hey Riddle Riddle anymore. I gotta go practice. Okay, so thank you for checking in about the split saddle. Nothing but a disappointment to my friends and myself.

00:22:09

JPC

Just keeping the dream alive.

Erin

I know. Thank you for holding me accountable.

JPC

Nothing but a disappointment to my friends and myself.

Erin

These are from Aiden Davis. And Aiden writes, Dear Erin and her two goons, which I immediately was like, well, I should be the one to open this, of course. So these are, this is what Aiden says. I have a series called, I hate movies, Fokker. Can you quote me? Each Riddle will first give you hints about a movie. The second half is a hint to a quote. The last word in the movie will be the first word in the quote. I know that sounds confusing, but I think it's just best if I give you an example.

Adal

I think I got it. My only question is, is the quote from the movie or is it just a famous quote in general?

Erin

No, it's a quote from a different, it's gonna be like two, basically like a movie title mixed with a quote from another movie.

00:23:13

Adal

I see. Perfect.

Erin

Yeah. Okay.

Adal

Got it. Okay.

Erin

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey join forces in this pregnancy comedy, in which Tom Hanks provides a metaphor for his adventures as an army vet, ping pong player, and shrimp fisherman.

Adal

Baby mama always said life is like a box of chocolates?

Erin

Immediately got it!

Adal

Baby Mama.

JPC

Do you think that Forrest Gump, and Adal you've watched it most recently, do you think it's actually a good movie or do you think that if it was like made nowadays people would be like, what are you doing?

Adal

I think it would be absolutely ridiculous if it got made today. I do think at the time it's hard to come to terms. I think at the time it was a good movie because I think it was well made. I gotta say I fucking love Robert Zemeckis. Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my favorite movies of all time. So I'm a huge Zemeckis head. But I think Yeah, I think today it would be absolutely, it would be like a green book, or crashed, or I'm trying to think of some other movies, Chicago'd. Like it would be ridiculed.

00:24:45

JPC

Yeah. The thing that I, the thing that I am, I mean, it's just an absolute bummer, was that the guy who wrote the book Forrest Gump, like 10 years later wrote a sequel to a Forrest Gump called Gump & Co. and they never made Gump & Co. into a movie, It's just like one of those Forrest Gump is a movie that was not screaming for a sequel, but it was like very popular and won awards and stuff, right? I wish that they had made that sequel. I wish that they had made the Gump and Co. sequel. It's not too late.

Adal

Gary Sinise is still around.

JPC

He was in 2022. He was in 2022, but we are sad to announce Gary Sinise was eaten by a pelican. A pelican ate Sinise.

Erin

It was brief.

JPC

The pelican was brief, but the pelican ate Sinise. Goddamn it, the best of those.

Erin

All right, next one. A behind-the-scenes look into the highly competitive and cutthroat world of dog shows centers around sports agent screaming into the telephone. Best in Show Me the Money.

Adal

Best in Show Me the Money.

00:25:45

Erin

One point to JPC, one point to Adal.

Adal

Best in show. Oh, I should have let Erin finish.

Erin

Heath Ledger stars in this 1999 rom-com about an unlikely romance between two high school outcasts featuring Jack Nicholson claiming that a lawyer... Can things say hey and about you can't handle the truth? Yeah, Adal with the politeness. Your politeness is going to lose you this game.

JPC

I thought for sure you can't handle the truth was going to be one of these because when Erin described the game, I was like, you can't handle the truth. What movies end in you? I was like, that's not going to be.

Erin

You were ready for it though, sounds like.

JPC

I was thinking of that quote specifically.

Adal

That's the only quote from movies. That's also a very... The continuation of that quote is very funny because it's, you can't handle the truth. I eat breakfast 200 yards away from people who want to see me dead or something. It's just a very funny... When it's screamed, it's very funny. I eat breakfast being screamed is very funny.

JPC

I eat breakfast. I scream I eat breakfast literally every day. It's my mantra. I scream it in my head.

00:26:54

Adal

Did you put Reese's peanut butter cups in your Cheerios and go, you can't handle the truth?

Erin

In this 2016 Star Wars movie, Felicity Jones steals the plans to the Death Star while having to listen to Alison Hannigan recant her tales on a summer getaway.

Adal

This one time in Bandcamp, but what Star Wars movie ends with this? Rogue One Time in Bandcamp?

JPC

I'm finally watching Andor.

Erin

I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late. I love it! It's so good. It's incredible.

JPC

Andor is incredible. And by the time this comes out, the second season of Andor will be out. So it'll also be incredible.

Erin

Good point.

JPC

Is it, wait, 2024? I may have skipped a year.

Erin

We're gonna do one more of these and then we're gonna go on break, but I'm serious. I love these. I know, but I think these are awesome. In a 2015 remake of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, an eccentric scientist ends the movie with a classic line.

00:28:04

Adal

2016 remake of a post- 2015 remake. 2015, that makes no difference. Apocalypse Now, that's what I call music. Wait, it's a 2015 remake? Is this Blade Runner 2049?

Erin

I think they filmed it in Australia.

Adal

Oh, Mad Max Fury Road, where we're going, we don't need roads.

Erin

Yeah, and that one's fun.

Adal

Wow. That's very fun.

Erin

All right, we're gonna go on a break, and then we're gonna come back to Aiden's Riddles. Is that okay?

JPC

With who? With me? Yeah. I mean, I don't care what happens to me.

Adal

And I have a new mantra, I cannot do the splits, and I wish you'd fucking stop.

Erin

Brilliant. 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?

00:29:05

Adal

I bet you're wondering. I wanted pretzels from the food court.

JPC

And I was just going to let you know that it looks like you leaned on paint.

Erin

Anyways, I just had a bunch of subscriptions canceled for me by Rocket Money that I wasn't using. 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.

JPC

Erin, it looks like you may have leaned on like with someone painting a rocket money like billboard or sign or something because it's all it's all down your back it's like and it's I could ock it ock it

Erin

People think they're spending $80 on their subscriptions when in reality, the number is closer to $200. And when you signed up for so many free trials, like streaming services, you watch one show and then you completely forget about it, you lose track and then all of a sudden you're like, why am I bleeding money? Rocket money? They take care of that for you. They go, sit back, relax, we got this. And they make everything color coded and easy and super intuitive.

00:30:16

Adal

You're also color-coded. A little birdie told me that Rocket Money also lets you monitor all your expenses in one place, recommends custom budgets based on your past spending, and they'll even send you notifications when you've reached your spending limits, which sounds like something my friend would like, but I forget which friend I'm so hungry for pretzels.

JPC

Speaking of pretzels, you don't get all twisted up by Salty and the bread of your finances. With over 3 million users and counting, Rocket Money customers have saved an average of $720 a year.

Erin

Stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions and manage your money the easy way by going to rocketmoney.com slash riddle. That's rocketmoney.com slash riddle. rocketmoney.com slash R-I-D-D-L-E.

???

Hey, what's going on? Somebody leaned over my rocket money paint thing. Run.

Erin

Everybody run. Run. Oh no. Maroon.

Adal

Is that DaVinci?

Erin

Yeah. Yes. And bye. Hi Adal and JPC.

00:31:22

Adal

Oh, greetings. Greetings Erin. We're just- Hey Erin.

JPC

Our normal selves today. I'm just myself. I'm normal. Hey, we're both normal.

Erin

Good news. So I finally opened Erin's Land in my backyard. It's a theme park. Most of the rides work. Most are pretty safe and I'm trying to start a website so people can find out all the information they need to get into Erin's Land.

JPC

Oh, that's actually perfect Erin because this podcast is actually sponsored by Squarespace. Yeah, and it's an all-in-one, like, website platform for, you know, entrepreneurs or whatever you consider yourself to be to kind of, like, stand out online. Whether you're just starting out, which it seems like you may be, or you're trying to build a successful growing brand, Squarespace is going to make it really easy for you to create a beautiful website, Erin.

Adal

Yeah, and Erin, if you want Erinland, I think is what you call it, to have stuff like custom merch. You can do that. You can easily sell custom merch and create a passive income stream that engages your audience and scales your brand. You design your products and production, inventory, shipping, all of it, handled for you, saving you time and money.

00:32:30

JPC

So, I mean, real quick, just because I'm looking around at Erinland, I'm just going to say what I think Erinland is from what you're presenting. Sure. So right now it looks like Erinland is a lot of goo.

Erin

Mm-hmm. Great eye.

JPC

Okay, so I'm right about goo, so it's a lot of goo. So, are you trying to sell this goo? Because if the goo is for sale, then Squarespace does have an online store. We can sell your products online, whether it's physical, like this goo, digital, like I imagine, you know, some digital goo or photos of people seeing the goo for the first time. Yeah, Squarespace has what you need. It has the tools to start selling online.

Erin

I'm looking forward to using it because I can use insights to grow my business. I can learn when site visits and sales are coming in and coming from to analyze which channels are most effective. I can improve my website and build a marketing strategy based on your top keywords like goo or most popular products and content like goo.

Adal

Huh, it's kinda eating through my shoes, it's starting to burn. Head to squarespace.com for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch, go to squarespace.com slash riddle to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.

00:33:41

JPC

Erin, I just got some great analytics from Squarespace. It says people don't like goo. Huh.

Erin

Yay! I'm in a lot of debt now.

JPC

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Hey everybody, this is GPC.

Erin

I'm here too.

JPC

Yeah, Erin's here as well. And it's with a heavy heart that we kind of do this ad read because one of our own, Mr. Adal Rifai, is not with us.

Erin

He is unfortunately stuck in a cat costume. They're calling it a medical phenomenon. And a disaster, but we're going to soldier on. We're going to be brave today. I do want to talk to my better help therapist a little later about what this has done in my nervous system.

JPC

We're going to need that, yep.

Erin

And if you're thinking of starting therapy, you should give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. All you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with your licensed therapist, and you can switch therapists any time for no additional charge. Conventional therapy where you had to drive to an office never really worked well for me. Like today, I get to send my therapist a message saying, you know how Adal loves to dress up like a cat? And sometimes he gets stuck, well this time he might. Be stuck wherever.

00:35:08

JPC

Erin, let's not think like that. Let's not think like that, okay? Because that's a negative spiral and that's going to lead us to needing more better help. I mean, if you think that conventional therapy is the only way to do therapy, then I beg of you. Have one of your best friends in this world get stuck in a cat costume and they can't find where the zipper starts. I don't know if we mentioned that, but that's one of the biggest problems. It's all zipped up.

Erin

Okay, so get a break from your thoughts like this.

JPC

Intrusive thought. Bad.

Erin

Visit BetterHelp.com slash Riddle today to get 10% off your first month. That's BetterHelp, H-E-L-P dot com slash Riddle, R-I-D-D-L-E.

JPC

Oh, Erin, speaking of 10% off, this is actually good news. I just got a text from the medical staff. It looks like the cat costume is 10% off. So 90% to go pray for our friend.

Erin

It's not enough. It's not enough. It's barely the toes. It's not enough for him to have a normal life. I'm having a great time.

00:36:12

JPC

Well, Erin, fall is officially here, which means it's time to get into our fall routines. And there's nothing that I love more than using my Raycon wireless earbuds to listen to some classic fall music. I'm sorry, I want to do this. I just can't do this because I know that my friend Adal is stuck in a full body cat costume and that includes Fabric over the ears and I know he can't use his Raycon wireless earbuds and it just... No, you could do this.

Erin

You started so well. You're being very brave. Raycon gives you up to eight hours of playtime and 32 hour battery life and they are so good and smooth and the optimized gel tips, they feel like butter in your ears.

JPC

All Adal wanted was 8 hours of playtime and now he's going to have an eternity of playtime except we're not playing games anymore because he's really stuck in that suit.

Erin

Hey here, I'll distract you. Raycon's Everyday Earbuds have over 78,000 five-star reviews and they're priced just right. You get quality audio for half the price of other premium audio brands.

00:37:13

JPC

I wish we were able to give all of our listeners quality audio but I just know in my heart That with the big guy all sewn up in that suit, it's just not gonna be possible to have the same quality of audio that we normally deliver. I can't stop making the ad, which is supposed to be about Raycon earbuds, that you love, that I love! I can't stop making it about my friend who's trapped in that cat costume.

Erin

No, no, no. Remember? There's like noise isolation and you can do three customizable sound profiles just completely suited to you. Hi Fidelity Audio, come on GBC, we can do this.

JPC

They also have an awareness mode and I've heard that Adal is now stuck in permanent awareness mode because he's aware of all of his cat-like appendages and he's starting to forget what it feels like to be a man because he is going to be only cat from here on out.

Erin

I just wish that the doctors didn't tell us how much pain he was in. So anyways, school's back in session, which means Raycon is having their annual back-to-school sale. For a limited time only, go to buyraycon.com slash riddle today to get 20% off site-wide. Plus free shipping. That's buyraycon.com slash riddle to score 20% off. buyraycon.com slash riddle. Oh, Adal.

00:38:38

JPC

Erin, it's wild that you said 20% off. Because I just got a text from his medical team and it looks like the cat costume.

Erin

The costume is 20% back on.

JPC

Yes, he's really buried himself in it.

Erin

We miss you boy, get better soon! I miss you Adal! And we're back from break. How was everyone's break?

Adal

Calming, soothing, cleansing.

JPC

I got devastating news during the break. No, who died and how? I mean, this is terrifying news. This is another celebrity death, Erin. Adal, we have another dead celebrity to add to our pile.

Adal

I have one too. Who's yours? Who did you find out about?

JPC

James Gandalfafini, who is a Gandalf impersonator, doing a Tony Soprano impersonation. Technically a celebrity.

00:39:38

Erin

Technically.

JPC

He was eaten by a Balrog.

Adal

Hey Christopher, did we get the crystals? Did we get the fucking crystals?

JPC

Balrog ate an R.I.P. James Gandalf eating.

Adal

A ball gag ate him?

JPC

Eat by a ball gag.

Adal

I have some sad news. Erin, I think you're really affected by this.

Erin

Oh no, Adal, what is it?

Adal

Because I know you're a huge fan of National Lampoon's Christmas vacation. Randy Quaid is no longer walking among us mortals. He was killed by natural causes, of course, being Dennis Quaid killed him.

JPC

His brother Dennis. Kind of side to that Chevy chase was chased down by a Chevy and... Oh no.

???

Was it heavy? Oh no.

JPC

It was heavy. The funeral was classy. We drove him to the levee. Oh, good, good, good. But the levee was dry. Well, the levee was dry, but there wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Adal

Oh.

JPC

Because everyone was laughing because they played a best of Chevy Chase mod tie. Community, a best of Chevy Chase community.

00:40:39

Adal

Only the good stuff.

JPC

Yeah, the community, some of the community stuff was rough. It was mostly him falling down on the big ladder thing, like the first day of his career.

Adal

And then the behind the scenes footage of the rap party where Dan Harmon says, everybody hates you.

JPC

Or when Bill Murray punched him and called him a medium talent.

Erin

Oh my God, I forgot about that. Anyways, back to these Aiden movie riddles.

Adal

Aiden, thank you so much. May God have mercy on your soul. Please keep these coming.

Erin

Great. Steve Carell's life changes.

Adal

That's a mix-up from God. Covering my bases. Sure, sure.

Erin

Steve Carell's life changes dramatically when his wife asks him for a divorce, but one thing keeps him happy, the scent of burning acid.

Adal

I can't remember the name of this movie. Is this one with Ryan Gosling, where he takes off his shirt, and what's her name? You look like a CGI doll or something.

00:41:43

Erin

It's that one.

Adal

What is that? Oh, I don't think I've ever seen it.

JPC

It's not Dan in real life, but is that also a Steve Farrell movie where he's sad? Or is that Ryan Gosling? Day in the Real Life.

Adal

No, it's not Day in the Real Life. That's Lars and the Real Girl, sorry. Lars and the Real Girl, yeah. Erin, can we have a hint? Because I don't think I've ever seen this movie. I have seen this.

Erin

It's like three words, but... Three words.

JPC

Must love dogs. No. This one always shows up on like the Netflix scroll. They're like, you really gotta watch this movie. And I'm like, I think I did watch it like 10 years ago.

Erin

I don't know if this is gonna help.

Adal

40 year old virgin.

Erin

But maybe the quote, let's focus on the quote. The scent of burning acid.

JPC

I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Erin

Yeah, so it starts with, the title ends with a love.

JPC

Oh, oh, crazy stupid love the smell of napalm in the morning. Nice. Crazy rich love the smell of napalm in the morning Asians.

00:42:49

Erin

Yes, okay. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Ow, ow, ow, ow. Your answer to that riddle was the equivalent of someone like grabbing my earlobe and dragging me into another room.

???

Hey, can I talk to you? Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow.

Erin

Brendan Fraser tumbles upon an ancient tomb unwittingly setting loose a 3,000 year old legacy of terror to escape. He must communicate with his people on a distant planet using modern day communication.

Adal

The mummy, dearest, can I talk to you, please? The mummy of the telephone! George of the jungle, no. This is the mummy. This is the mummy, right? Is it the mummy returns?

Erin

Yeah, it is the mummy, so you're doing great.

Adal

The Mummy, and then what was the second half of the cool part? The Mummy E. Just think of like E. The Mummy E. What was the second part?

Erin

Communicate with his people in a distant planet using modern day communication. So it might be an alien. E.T. phone home. Yay! You did it! Wow!

00:43:53

Adal

When E.T. is dressed up like a woman, it does it for me.

???

There's something about it.

JPC

Okay, here, I want to see a scene. I want to see a scene. So this is going to be, Adal, it's your lucky day. You're going to be playing E.T. Erin, of course, you're a young Drew Barrymore. This is the very end of the movie. E.T. has phoned home and he's caught a ride to come pick him up. Erin, you're about to see for the first time the rest of the beings that E.T. is with, and they're all mummies.

Erin

Cool. Bye E.T.

???

E.T. Go home. I know, but- Must reveal real name.

Erin

Oh, what is it E.T. ?

???

Real name is Carl. What? Carl. Carl Thompson, real name. Goodbye. Oh, my ride is here.

00:44:54

Erin

Oh, can I meet them?

???

You probably shouldn't.

JPC

I mean Carl. We're not using your code name, right Carl?

???

It's cool. I should have said, I am spy for my planet. Carl Thompson, number one spy.

Erin

Sorry, I just... Sorry, sorry to interrupt. I know I'm just like a cute kid, but E.T., I really, I was expecting more aliens to come pick you up. These are like spooky mummies.

???

What's spooky? I mean, come on.

???

We're mummies, but we're not spooky. You've insulted my planet. I must now declare war on Earth. All thanks to you, Elliot's friend, I want to say... Claire?

Erin

Wow, my name is Carl, actually, so... What?

???

My name is Carl. Wow, three Carl's just chilling.

00:45:56

JPC

On our planet, all names are Carl. So confusing.

Erin

So confusing.

JPC

New Carl, you come back to our planet too. We make you spy of some other planet. New Carl, too expensive. Least Carl. New Karl loses value as soon as we take it off the earth. I have that New Karl smell. Pieces, pieces, please. I smell like bubby.

Erin

I've called scene on the scene three times. How do I kill the scene? How do I kill it?

Adal

My new mantra is scene is not the end.

Erin

Oh, that's scary. We're going to get stuck in hour-long scenes on the show. I mean, that's okay, but ooh.

JPC

That's something to play you team. Mariah does not like ET. Mariah thinks that ET is a hideous thing. I think that she saw the ET thing at Universal doing the ET ride when she was very little. And it scared her and I think she doesn't care about ET. I don't care about ET, but I do think that ET looks kind of gross as a thing.

00:47:09

Adal

Yeah, he looks like a tree root ball sack. Like if trees had ball sacks, that's what ET looks like. And the ride at Universal is terrifying because you go, famously you go to ET's home planet, which I want to say is Endor or something. and there's all these weird creatures that show up and it's like clearly off the rails like they clearly were like we don't know what these people look like just have them look like ET but no they went kind of nutso with the design so I'm sure you can find something online because I think they dismantled it to make room for like fucking Fast and the Furious roller coaster or something so look it up online it's terrifying

JPC

When I think about E.T., and I think about this all the time, there was a tweet almost two years ago today from Colin Crawford, hello, Colin, on Twitter, and he just says, me and my friends would have killed E.T. with hammers, I can tell you that about us.

Erin

That's incredible.

JPC

That's such a good joke. Happy two year anniversary to that very good joke.

Adal

That's kid mentality.

00:48:11

Erin

E.T., I'm pretty scared of E.T., but I'm way more afraid of the off-brand E.T. Mac and me. Oh yeah, that one's pretty terrifying.

Adal

So, so, so scary. Horrible. Next one. I'm still terrified of Falkor from Ever Ending Story.

JPC

The Noid from the Domino's commercial is also terrifying.

Adal

How? Why do so many cereal and pizza mascots, why are they always trying to get the thing that they're the mascot for? Should they get like, like we have friends who represent fast food and they get, I assume free fast food for life, uh, famously they don't, but I feel like if you're the mascot, if you're like tricks the rabbit, you should get free tricks for life. You would think that they'd want to pay tricks rabbit in tricks versus like a cash settlement.

JPC

When I was a kid and I watched the movie Happy Gilmore and they gave Happy Gilmore like a subway black card because he does a subway commercial, I was like, damn, that's the life.

Adal

George Clooney famously has a McDonald's black card.

Erin

He doesn't need it.

Adal

Why is George Clooney out of it? I know, but he talked about them on a talk show and so they gave him one. I think it's just the fact that I know that factoid is why they did it.

00:49:19

JPC

How can that, but is that real or is that just like a gift card with like infinite funds on it? Like how does he go to a McDonald's? Does every McDonald's employee get trained on the fact that like George Clooney might show up with this fucking black card? Does anyone else have one?

Adal

It is funny if he goes into McDonald's and they're like, that's 3217 and he goes not so fast and they go, he just got his meal comped? Like this fucking, the multi multi

JPC

George Gliddy getting his black card like declined like three times. Run it again. It's good. I mentioned this on a commercial. Just run it again. Just run it one more time. I don't have my wallet.

Erin

I have a question for you. Maybe there's a representative from some fast food place listening. If some fast food place were to send us any sort of merch or cards or anything, we are literally begging you to send us something. What fast food place should it be?

Adal

You're not gonna like this answer.

Erin

Uh oh. Don't say Long John Silvers.

Adal

Long John Silvers.

00:50:19

Erin

If you're listening Long John Silvers.

JPC

Then they won't be because they've been dead for a hundred years.

Adal

Long John Silvers. The tables have turned my man. 20 years ago when I was at my peak silver hood You were doing great, but now you come to me hat in hand, and guess what? I'll take you inside, I'll give you a shower, I'll shave your beard, I'll feed you chicken planks and hush puppies.

Erin

Why do you have such a sexual relationship with Long Don Silver?

Adal

This is super sexual! Psycho sexual! Don't worry about it. That's none of your concern. Long Don Silver's if you're listening. Let's work together. Let's do a deal. Let's collab.

Erin

Well, no one else will work with us now, so yes. Long John Silver's, please.

Adal

I guess.

JPC

I'll jump on Adal's thing because Adal, there are, and I think there's actually one, like, relatively near to us, there is still a Long John Silver's Taco Bell, which is an insane combination restaurant to exist, but there is one that could be closed down. I think I went there like seven months ago when I was like, oh, what Taco Bell? Oh, it's a Long John Silver's Taco Bell.

00:51:22

Adal

I think if they do those mashups like the Pizza Hut Taco Bell or A&W Root Beer and I don't know how fucking fizzled or whatever it is, I think they should have to put alternating words. So it should be long taco John Bell Silvers.

???

Does that make sense? Yeah!

JPC

I will say this, if you work at the Chicago Taco Bell Long John Silvers, go ahead and email some of those little cracklin' things and a new Riddle to "#26351Westmontrosav, number 267, Chicago, Illinois 60634," so that I can have another uncomfortable conversation with the person who works at that UPS store where they say, hey, why do people keep mailing you this shit? And I say, I don't know, man. I don't ask them to. But this time I will have to say, I did ask them to mail me this bean burrito.

Erin

You know what's about to happen? Long John Silver is about to invoice us. They're gonna be like, pay us $200 for researching our name so much. You guys all suck.

Adal

Erin, I'd also be open to working with Chipotle, Qdoba, Jimmy John's, Culver's, And I want to say, not the one that starts with a B. Not them. Because they sent one of my guests.

00:52:38

Erin

I want to work with McDonald's.

Adal

A very rude reply. Because they said why would we advertise, why would we work, why would we Collaborate with you when you already give us free advertising. That's what they said to us. And we said we could change this to a fucking anything. We changed it to an Arby's and you're fucking ruined.

JPC

They did get you pretty hard on that one.

Adal

We're fucked. We're stuck.

JPC

Here's what I'm saying. If any one of these big brands wants to send us a cool jacket that says Burger King on it or whatever, go ahead and send it to us. Most likely what you will send us is a cease and desist, but guess what?

???

We'll take those too.

JPC

We'll put a big binder of them, and then we'll take them to live shows and have people sign the cease and desist.

Adal

Deceased by assists. I will say, I'm going to grab this opportunity by both cheeks and give it a big fat smooch on the forehead. Okay. I got to say, Alagash White. I gotta say, I gotta say, Allagash Brewing has been nothing but wonderful to us. The people at Allagash have sent us so much swag, so much beer, they're wonderfully kind, everyone drink Allagash.

00:53:40

JPC

Hey, unless they weren't supposed to, and then they didn't do that. They're sweating at their desks. Oh no, no, no, no. They're like closing down the tab that has Hey Riddle over at the open. It's like being one of those porn pop-ups to just keep more episodes, keep popping up.

Adal

Their 55-year-old boss is like, uh, can I see you in my office? I was listening to the newest episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, and they're like, bullshit, we call bullshit.

JPC

He's walking around the bullpen with a big truncheon just slapping it against his hands, like waiting for people to fuck up and... Double checking their hat inventory.

Adal

Erin, what company in fast food would you want to work with?

Erin

I mean McDonald's. Culver's is my favorite, but I don't live near Culver's anymore.

Adal

Did you know that JBC and I, our houses are separated by a Culver's?

Erin

But you know what I would love?

Adal

Culver's Divide. It's at the MZ, it's at the militarized zone.

Erin

Merch. I want like, I don't, if I can't have a Culver's gift card, I want like a sweatshirt that says Culver's on it. If that exists, probably not.

00:54:43

JPC

Yeah, I'll take a sweatshirt that says, I shit myself 13 minutes after eating an Oreo Concrete Blast.

Adal

Okay, Jamesy, I just want a red bubble and they have that available.

Erin

Oh no! I'd like to see a scene, actually. JPC, you are a Burger King employee, Adal, you are a McDonald's employee, and you're in love and your love is forbidden.

Adal

I can't believe we're doing this. Should we... should we get back to work? I'm sorry I'm just... I'm so swept away and I'm... I've never said this before to anyone but... I'm loving you. Don't! Don't! Don't! I'm loving you!

???

Don't finish that shit!

JPC

Okay, calm down. You have to be cool. No one's gonna spot us here. No one goes to Arby's but we have to remember You and I are not allowed to be together, okay? We can't, we can't, you can't be lovin' it because we can't be lovin' it outside of this.

00:55:44

Adal

This is how it has to be. Do you remember what you told me, date one? You said I could have it my way. Yeah. Do you remember that? Maybe right away? Is that part of it? My way right away? No.

JPC

That came out of it. No. I just said that you could have it your way. Okay, okay. But we also have to have it Ronald's way and we have to have it the King's way. Yeah. And those two ways go against each other. They are not cross streets. Or no. Or they are cross streets. They're parallel. Or they run parallel, but they run cross. They run parallel.

Adal

But yeah, okay. Can I blow your mind? Like, um... Ronald and the King? Like Belmont and Fullerton. Oh, great example. No wait, they intersect. Famously intersect. Oh no. Big intersection. Damn.

JPC

Wait, Riddle and the King fucked? Yes. What do you mean?

Adal

Don't you know what they gave birth to? No.

JPC

Finish your beef and cheddar and tell me.

Adal

That's how little rallies was born. You mean checkers. Well, that's a checkered past. Because Ronald and the King fucked and gave birth to rallies. I didn't know. When these two people came together, they gave birth to rallies. And famously they went in and out. Well, that's very special sauce, an animal sauce. They did it animal style. Tell me they didn't do it animal style.

00:57:08

???

St. Pete.

Erin

Wow. That was fun. That could have gone on forever, seemingly. Maybe not.

JPC

Seemingly, but maybe it was exactly how long it could have gone on. Who knows?

Erin

Let's finish Aiden's puzzles. Erin loved this 2022 historical epic inspired by true events that took place in the Kingdom of Dahomey, which includes a Denzel Washington rant proclaiming his greatness in the comparison to a mythical being.

Adal

The woman King Kong ain't got nothing on me.

Erin

Yep, ain't got shit on me, but we don't swear here.

Adal

Oh, I got shit on you. Sorry.

Erin

No, no, we don't swear here.

JPC

The woman King Kong. I was like, the woman King Kong certainly didn't make a movie called The Woman King Kong. In 2022, come on.

Adal

And she goes to the top of Saks Fifth Avenue.

JPC

What do we do in here making a movie called The Woman King Kong?

Adal

Woman Godzilla, of course, is coming soon.

Erin

In this 2009 movie, inspired by a children's book, a young boy runs away from home and sails to an island filled with creatures that take him in as their king. But one fierce warrior must ensure that he has the attention of the audience after demonstrating his fighting ability.

00:58:21

Adal

Where the wild things are, matey.

Erin

Sort of, you got the first half.

Adal

James and the giant peach me on irons. BFG. Willikers Mr. Thompson.

Erin

Something that people yell. It's like the guy yells it.

JPC

Can you give the clue for the quote? Hey dumbass, you're sleeping on the sidewalk.

Erin

So it's where the wild things are, and so begins with R, A-R-E.

JPC

Are you going to the mall later?

Erin

Yes. Are you being served? Are you going to the mall later?

JPC

That's where he yells. Oh, where the wild things are. That's from Billy Madison, right? You're not entertained at this from Billy Madison.

Erin

Yes.

Adal

Are you not entertained?

Erin

Yes, you got it. Very nice.

Adal

That's Billy Madison, right?

JPC

Yeah, yes, yes. They're both from Billy Madison. I was thinking about Gladiator recently because I was like, that is a long movie, right? I feel like every time I'm like, oh, Gladiator's on. I can watch Gladiator. I'm like four hours. I'm not watching Gladiator for that long.

00:59:23

Erin

No, I can watch that movie for 26 minutes and not a moment longer.

Adal

I think that was the first movie where one of the actors died and they're like, you know what? We're just going to computer generate the rest of his performance.

JPC

Yeah, Russell Crowe died, and they got G.R.R. Butler to wear a wig. They threw him right in there. Wait, did one of the actors really die in Gladiator? Mm-hmm.

Adal

It was the old guy who was like his mentor.

JPC

Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Adal

But he died, and they like CGI, and it was like a big deal at the time. It was like the Beauty and the Beast ballroom scene, where that was such a groundbreaking thing, and now we look back on it, we're like, garbage. Yeah, this looks like ass. This is like shit.

JPC

This kid's movie looks like fucking shit! Sir, we're gonna have to remove you from the family video. We remind you, it's not playing, you're just looking at the DVD cover.

Erin

Fuck you! Um, we gotta just a couple more. I would be horrified if we didn't finish these. And on the real podcast, featuring Grease quotes, uh, okay, and Christmas figures as relatives must ask- Hey Riddle Riddle me this? Yeah. Hey Riddle Riddle me this Batman. Kate Crusader to solve their puzzles, yeah?

01:00:35

JPC

Wow!

Erin

Well done.

JPC

Wow, Riddle be- Adal was really working to pull what the quote would be with Riddle and he got it. Riddle me this Batman.

Adal

Jim Carrey, greatest riddler we've ever known.

Erin

Well, thank you so much, Aiden, for those riddles. Pretty cool that you sent them in. We're very, very grateful, right, guys?

Adal

Very grateful. Is it too late to call for a scene?

Erin

No, of course not.

Adal

I wanted to get through those because those were fantastic, but I did want to see a scene. Erin, you are... Congratulations. You are starring as the new woman King Kong.

Erin

Oh, my God.

Adal

And J.P.C., in King Kong, King Kong famously grabs a woman and runs to the top of the Empire State Building. In this movie, the woman King Kong grabs a man and takes him to the top of sex theft avenue. So we're seeing that scene where a woman King Kong grabs a man and goes to the top of the building.

Erin

Hey, do you mind if I just sort of Also, do you have any, like, existing injuries or things that are sore right now or anything like that?

01:01:44

JPC

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Yeah, Greg, I'm gonna have to call you back.

Erin

Oh my gosh.

JPC

All right, you son of a bitch. All right, you son of a bitch. All right, Greg. All right. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Okay, buddy. I'm sorry. What's up?

Erin

So sorry. I'm talking to you. Hi.

JPC

You're a big, you're a big monkey, huh?

Erin

Yeah. Thank you.

JPC

Oofa doofa.

Erin

Uh, so, I just want to make sure that you're cool with it, but I'm gonna grab ya.

JPC

You're a tall drink of mussel milk. What are you bitch?

Erin

Um... Nah, don't tell me, don't tell me. Okay, yeah.

JPC

Yeah, cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, it's not a competition, and I don't think I'm gonna win, so don't tell me.

Erin

Uh, you know what? I might go find someone else.

JPC

Um... You know, I get off at five, which is just in a couple of minutes. And I'll also get off in a couple of minutes if you know what I'm saying.

Erin

Yeah, I'm in a... Sorry, sorry. Sorry. Bye.

???

Hey, come on! Where you going, beautiful?

Erin

Hey, other guy.

Adal

Oh, I'm seeing someone.

Erin

Oh, no, no, no. I'm not looking too... I'm flattered though.

01:02:46

Adal

Thank you. I'm flattered.

Erin

Ugh. Forget it. Grabs a mannequin that is a guy that goes to the top of the Empire State Building. A man-mannequin?

???

This is the military. We will have to remove you from the city if you don't come down from the building. You're over 40 in New York. It's kind of taboo. You should be out with the clothes on.

JPC

I saw everything. This woman tried to ask me out. It was so pathetic, so sad. And while I was on top of the Empire State Building, I thought to myself,

Erin

Is sex really gone in the city? Should I move to the suburbs? I'm awfully misunderstood.

Adal

Scene. Scene.

Erin

Oh God, that's so stupid. Okay, all right.

01:03:49

JPC

Oh, I love it. Hey, let us write The Woman, King Kong. Come on, we can do it. Come on. That's our spec script. Longer Silvers, please. I'll do it. Let us in.

Adal

Let us write this movie.

Erin

So let's just, we got a couple more minutes so let's quickly try to get through Lauren's riddles. Because they're sort of in the same vein. I wrote some silly name combo riddles for a segment on a college radio show I do with a fellow Hey Riddle Riddler. Shout out to them. I wonder what their radio show is called but check it out if you can find it.

JPC

If you can find their radio show that we don't know the name of, check it out.

Erin

I think that these are similar to ones y'all have done in the past. They combine the full titles, names, or moniker of fictional characters or real people based off a clue. Example, the Wicked Witch's parents were murdered in an alley. Alpha Batman.

Adal

That's a tongue twister.

Erin

The last two were from our Halloween spooktacular, so beware the thematic shift. The answers are in the white font. Awesome! Let's get these going. When this classic cartoon character isn't munching on ghosts, he's dreaming the impossible dream, fighting the unbeatable foe. Bearing with unbearable sorrow.

01:05:12

???

Unlimited. Together we're unlimited.

Erin

Did that really just happen? Have I actually understood this weird quirk I've tried to subresorize?

???

Gotta be popular. And another song for that musical.

Erin

You're going to be popular. Dancing through life, crappling through life, moment to moment, hands touch, eyes meet, sun and heat.

???

Look at him, he's wicked.

Erin

No one mourns, the wicked. Okay, that's nothing. We're sorry. We're having too much fun. I must be a terrible host. I must be a terrible host, old sport. For you see, I'm a single lady.

Adal

Oh. You old sport? James Bonn Yancey?

01:06:19

Erin

Um, he's from a book.

Adal

He's from a book.

Erin

He's from a book.

Adal

James Bond is from a book. Oh, The Great Gats Beyonce.

Erin

Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Adal

The Great Gats Beyonce. That's a bit of a finagle.

Erin

Yeah. What's cooler than leading the Continental Army of the United States? A billion dollars.

Adal

What's cooler than being the leader of the United States? Joe Biden, Tony Hawk? What was it?

Erin

The Continental Army of the United States. So maybe he was the first president.

Adal

George Washington, Tony Hawk? Mm-hmm. George Washington.

Erin

I'd like to see a quick scene, so sorry.

JPC

Tony Hawk?

Erin

That doesn't... JPC, you are George Washington and you are giving a speech to going into battle and then you're going to get on your skateboard and go into battle. And Adal, you can react to that as one of his.

Adal

Perfect.

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

That's one of his what?

Erin

People in the army. What is it? What is it? You got it.

JPC

Here yay, here yay. Listen up. Sixes. A ten is talking. I'm the tallest man, which means I'm like the king. And here's what we're going to do. We're not gonna fight in those like straight fucking lines like the British like to do with everybody taking turns shooting. That sucks. We never win that way. Everybody basically just get a gun, go out into the trees or whatever, shoot as many British as you can, okay? Oh, and don't get in my way. Alright, 6 foot 7 guy, gotta get on a skateboard.

01:07:49

Adal

Pretty B, what is this device? He is... Step on, gingerly.

JPC

Oh, one leg. Oh, wobble, wobble. Okay, yeah, Riddle. Got the rail.

Adal

And now he's slowly moving, and now a 1080 Jesus, Christ Air. What? How? How did he do a 1080 Christ Air?

JPC

Okay, switch wings with the double, and then get back on the skateboard. Oh, I see. Oh, I see.

Adal

That was Thomas Jefferson. That guy, that guy saw me. Kill him. Jefferson Grinds.

Erin

Oh no!

Adal

Sam Adams, shoot that guy. What? Shoot him with your beard.

Erin

Ka-blam, I'm drunk. I'm drunk.

Adal

I think Erin, Erin, you just gave me my model for 2023, which is Ka-blam, I'm drunk.

Erin

Okay, well, we're going to have to share that one.

Adal

And it's also a new musical I wrote. Everyone please check out, I assume June of 2023, could blame I'm Drunk, will be a new musical starring all three of us. You can check that out in Chicago. That is my plug. Erin Keif, do you have any plugs?

Erin

Oh wait, we got to do, I just want to finish her riddles really quick. Alright, we got two more Lauren Riddles we'll go through very quickly. Her eyes will turn you to stone. Her impact as a first woman on the Supreme Court? Snake? Tacular.

01:08:57

Adal

Medusa Andrea De O'Connor.

Erin

Brilliant. This clown thinks that everything floats down here, except an apple, which falls straight down due to gravity.

Adal

Penny Wise Men say... Penny Wise Russian? Penny Wysick Newton? Penny Wysick Newton.

Erin

Okay, okay. Thank you, Lauren, and whoever you do your radio show with. Thank you for listening, and I appreciate you sending in those riddles. If you want to have your riddles read on the show, please email hrrpodcast at gmail.com.

JPC

And don't forget to include the name of your radio show. Otherwise, I mean, we're just going to say your radio show and then, you know, no one will ever find it.

Erin

We won't be able to plug it. Well, I'll find it. I'll find it.

Adal

Speaking of plugs, Erin Keif, do you have anything to plug?

Erin

You can... Hmm. You can go listen to sitcom D&D if you want. It's a lot of fun and we're coming to the end of season two and you can find that anywhere you find podcasts. Adal. Come home to you. Anything to plug.

01:09:59

Adal

You can call me Ray. You can call me Ray J. You can call me Ray J. Johnson. You can also check out my new musical, Kablam I'm Drunk. I also hope to have some merch of Kablam I'm Drunk. That is my new favorite saying. Kablam I'm Drunk. Also, please check out Allagash Brewing Company. They serve some delicious beers, have some great merch. Also, check out Long John Silver's. JBC was not lying. Those little cracklings, those little crispies at the bottom are delicious.

JPC

We figured out what they were called once on a Patreon episode. Now I don't remember what they are.

Adal

I think I just call them crunchies. I forget.

JPC

We just call them crunchies, people.

Adal

That's what we call them. JBC, do you have a five-star review to read?

JPC

I do have a five-star review to read. If you want to get a five-star review featured on an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, just go to Apple iTunes, leave us a five-star review, and your review might get picked to be read aloud on the show. Today's review comes from the Buffybot. The Buffybot writes, Jack Gough. I'm sorry, Jack Gough. Yeah, Gough. I hooked up with a guy once whose name was Jack Gough. Last name pronounced Gough. Okay, so Jack Gough, if you're out there listening, great name, future character on the show. We love to see it.

01:11:16

Erin

Um, I have actually, this is going to sound super crazy, but I have one more riddle from Aiden and I'm going to read it to you.

???

Oh, okay.

Erin

This 2015 box office flop features Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis as a young woman who discovers her destiny as an heiress of intergalactical nobility and must fight to protect the inhabitants of Earth from an ancient and destructive being.

Adal

Jupiter ascend ding ding ding ding ding.

Erin

Oh, you entered the show! You said it! You said the magic word.

Adal

Well, before I say bye forever, Erin, I have one more thing that I'd like you to join me in.

???

And nobody in all of us, no wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring me down.

Erin

I hope you're all happy. Look out, he's tapping on!

Adal

Bye forever.

???

Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaah! Aaaaah!
