Which Riddle Riddle?

This is a HeadGum podcast. The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Oh, the vinegar go fish. It was the cabin of an airplane. He stabbed him with the knife and leg.

And the horses eat fried eggs.

Hush, little Erin, don't say a word. Adal's gonna buy you a mockingbird. Erin, wake up! I bought you a mockingbird. What? Here it is. How'd you get in my house? Erin, let it, um... Squawk?

What if we buy this outfit on consignment, Squawk?

See, he's mocking you. Let him imprint on you, Erin. He's got an imprint on you.

You woke me up to hurt my feelings?

Yeah.

I love it. Thank you.

You're welcome. So I'll leave you two to it. I'm just gonna stand in the corner and watch and record this. Go ahead.

Hi Mockingbird.

Squawk, I wish it was a hi Mockingbird because then I'd be too strung out to have to hear your bullshit, Squawk.

I love it.

And Erin, there's settings in the back if you want to turn it down or turn it up.

But turn it up? Mm-hmm. And turn up.

Squawk! Get your finger out of my butthole!

Squawk! Oh no! Sorry Mockingbird.

What are you so called a squawking pervert?

Okay.

Oh Erin you're into it.

I love it.

No, no, just kidding. I know you're not a pervert. I know that you were gifted to me by Adal Rifai. Now that guy, he's a huge pervert.

Let's turn it off.

Let's turn it off.

Wait, hold on.

The kind of stuff he was squawking asking me to squawking do? Holy squawking squawk.

Wait a second. It's not that weird. Taped on feathers. Glued on beak. JPC, is that you?

Yes, Erin, I can confirm. This bird is dead.

Yeah, it died from being in a big tornado, and so all its feathers fell off and its beak cracked off, so we decided to glue on the beak, tape on the feathers. We should have swapped those, honestly. And Erin, it didn't sing, so JPC and I got you a diamond ring.

It's not shiny, though.

What the fuck? It's not shiny? Raw diamonds aren't shiny, okay? What the fuck? Holy shit. You have to shine it. You have to shine it. That's a dead stop. That's a dead stop. Erin, we got you... What was it? JBC was four months salary? Is that what you're supposed to do? We got you a diamond ring that was four months salary. That's too much. That's eight months salary.

Oh, is it brass? Is that what it is?

You said it doesn't shine?

What's the lyric?

The lyric. Erin, I'm just trying to bring you presents.

Adal's gonna buy you a clementine.

Oh, I wish I would have bought your Clementine.

I would have been way cheaper. Well, you're supposed to spend the same amount on the Clementine. It's an eight month salary on the Clementine as well.

If you don't order the diamond rings. How much did I, I want to say the Duffer brothers spend on shooting the movie Clementine on their iPhone? No, it was the Duplass brothers. Duplass? Who can keep up with all these brothers? No, this is a full-blown regular episode. And Erin, oh, there is something on my mind that I wanted to ask you about. And JPC, I want your input as well. But Erin and I, I don't know about JPC. Erin and I are, at least, are Broadway fans. We're big fans of the musical, the big song and dance. JPC, have you seen anything on Broadway? Have you seen any musicals in Chicago or anything? Have you ever felt joy?

I have no desire to see. The last musical that I saw was, I think was like sixth the musical and that was like three or four years ago. And it was only 50 minutes and I said perfect.

You had fun at that. You had fun.

Oh yeah, it's a wonderful show. But I was going to say, Erin and I, we're going to go see, I want to say Barbara of Deville, Sweeney Todd. We're going to go see Sweeney Todd with Italian blind opera singer Andre Botelli or no, Josh Groban.

My buddy Johnny said it, and he said he'd go again. He said he loved it so much he would go again. As he was leaving, he was like, I gotta buy more tickets to see this again.

Wow.

Very excited.

But Erin, what I wanted to ask you was Chicago has their own Broadway. It's called Broadway in Chicago because we couldn't think of a better name. And there is, I think, currently six shows scheduled for this season. Several debuts. There's four debuts. And as we all know, things that debut in Chicago eventually go to die. A la Pretty Woman and a few other ones.

Another Broadway show that I guess I technically saw. I was there for it. I was present.

The teacher marks me present. That is based on something I never thought we'd see a musical about. And the tagline for this musical makes me so happy and so angry concurrently. And I don't know whether or not to buy tickets for it. Erin, do you want to guess, or JBC, do you want to guess who this Broadway show is about? I'll give you a hint. It's an old-timey woman.

Oh. I was going to say like Wetzel's Pretzel's the musical. Get ready to watch Pretzels dance.

Is this an Amelia Earhart musical?

Oh, good one.

I think that would be great. I would watch this shit out of that. If there's a song that was like... Adal, that's important.

Don't look for me. A woman died. Adal. Adal. A woman died.

Maybe.

Maybe she did.

Kasey, clip it and see how many times that phrase applies to our back catalog. Clip it. Kasey, clip it.

Adal. Yes.

So you said it's an old timey woman. Well, old timey is a relative term.

Hey, will you tell me with Amelia Earhart? Do I need to go older timey? Boy, Amelia Earhart was like 84?

When was that?

Could that be true?

Was it 1984 when she disappeared? 1984. I want to say Reagan was in office. I want to say that this is probably slightly before Amelia Earhart. It's probably the 20s. And I'll give you a hint that this, much like Amelia Earhart, is a fictional woman. Ooh, Zelda Fitzgerald.

I was just about to say that! We had the same bullshit for breakfast. We're on the same wing, baby. Okay, who is made up? Who is a woman who's made up?

Just a rabbit? Oh, we are burning hot. Oh, really? This character is also in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Whoa! Is it a Betty Boop musical? It is a Betty Boop musical, which is something in a million years I never thought we'd see. Does anyone want to guess the tagline? Erin, don't Google it yet. Does anyone want to guess the tagline? The tagline is, a boop-doop, a musical. A boop-boop, a doozical? That's what it is. A boop-doop, a doozical.

I'm gonna need you to go to that theater and just start throwing money at it. All the cash that you have. Dude, yes, you have to go see it, please. That sounds ridiculous. I love it.

I can't imagine someone on stage, I can't imagine being in a seat, the lights going down, the curtains open, and there's someone on stage playing black and white cartoon Betty Boop.

No, this is gonna be good. It's Jerry Mitchell. Oh, show me the money. No, he did like hair spray. He's like an incredible director choreographer. This will be good. Okay. This will be good.

Here's my question. Here's my question. You know, it sounds fine. You're doing Broadway in Chicago. That's almost the dream. Do you think that there will be people who are in that musical who are having a good time? Or do you think that everyone in that musical is going to be saying, you know, it could be a lot worse. We could be...

They're going to be having a good time. It's like a fun time of history. I feel like the costumes will be cool. The dancing will be fun. I think that will be a fun show to be in.

Listeners can't see this, but Erin's making a jerk-off motion.

No, I'm not. I am not this time. Most of the time I am, but I'm having a little rest.

Yeah, Erin's little wrists are tired.

Uh, from mocking everything you guys say.

Uh, no.

No, no, no.

Okay, here's the deal. JPC. Yeah. Buddy.

My answer's already to be no. It's gonna be no, but finish your ask.

Please come with me to this musical. Please.

I can't... I mean, I will if you want me to go, but I can't... My answer is this. If someone's like, would you like to go to the Betty Boop musical? My answer is no. Of course I would not like to go. If someone says, would you please come with me because I would like to go? Yes, of course I'll do that. And I'll put on a brave face and I'll have a fun time.

I'll put on a brave face.

Would it be something that I ever choose to do with my time? My limited time on Earth? No, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, you saw the Betty Boop musical. You know you only get one life, right? You have one life?

Listeners can't see this, but when JPC said put on a brave face, he did don a braided red wig and an apple green dress. Something I have around the house.

Yes, of course. You buy it to never wear? No, that doesn't make sense.

It doesn't make sense. And I would say if someone asked you to see the Betty Boop musical, if anything, you would say, nope, dope, dee-dope. I'd say, boop, boop, ba-doop, kill me.

I think it's better for me to be the type of person who only sees bad musicals than to be the type of person that sees a musical that is highly rated or acclaimed or whatever.

I think it's kind of fun to curate an experience that you know is going to be abysmal. And I know friend of the show, Becca Barish, Um, somewhat recently has been going around, and only she can do this, I could never get away with this, she's recently been going around to high school productions and musicals of, uh, high schools she has no affiliation with to just go see what's up with their musicals.

I used to do that.

Oh, see this is something only a woman could get away with.

Yeah. It's fun and then you're actually supporting like a little, like a high school theater program.

Yeah, that's great. You're now of an age, Adal, where you could conceivably have a high school age child. So you just have to go and be like, go grab the program. Walk with confidence. Turn to a page, like see a name that looks, you know, like Jeremy, conceivably, I could have a Jeremy. And then be like, go Jeremy, just say that at the beginning of the show and everybody.

I don't want to, let's do riddles. Here's the first riddle.

If Adal had a kid when he was 23, you would have a 17 year old kid right now. I know people who were having kids at 23, that's perfectly reasonable.

Okay, here's the first riddle, warm up riddle. I have no life but I can die, what am I? A dream. I thought you were going to say Adal, but... A Broadway dream.

I have no life, but I... I do want to... Okay, hold on.

I do want to see... A light bulb. This might be unprecedented. It's not. Erin, that's a great guess. It's not correct, but I want to see a scene. JPC, you are one of the cast members in, I don't know, let's make up something. We'll say Betty Boop the musical, the boop-doop-boop. Sure. Boop-doop-doosicle. You just got cast in the musical that's coming to Chicago. You were calling Erin, who is your mom, and having the conversation of the excitement of being cast, but then the struggle to let her know what musical. Okay. Ooh, so exciting.

Hello.

Mom, hey, it's Jason. Are you... Hi, Jason. Are you sitting down?

Uh-huh, I'm driving.

Oh, okay. Ooh, is dad in the car?

Uh, yep. No. Put me on speaker.

Put me on speaker. No, I heard him. It's too late. Put me on speaker. Also mom, you are on speaker.

Okay.

Yeah, you are on speaker. Love you. Watch the road. I love you. Mom, dad. Mom, dad.

Sure.

It finally happened. I got cast. I'm going to be in a Broadway Chicago musical.

That's amazing!

What is it? What is it? It's not a weed, but it's like supporting.

Oh by the way, we are on the way to our lawyer's office. You know how my father got the Betty Boop IP stolen from him? He drew the original cartoon. Do you remember? Well, we're going to have another meeting with the lawyers about it. And hopefully we'll sort of right this wrong and we'll get all that money we deserve.

Yeah, vaguely. I remember something along those lines. You know what?

It's one of the whole thing of our family.

It's sort of like... Our legacy.

Yeah.

Does it have to be? I mean... Yes, of course. Should it be? It's an injustice. Here's my thing. I know we've talked about this a lot, Mon, but how much do we honestly want to tie ourselves to that? Completely. Because maybe it could just be a thing that happened? Truck, truck, truck.

Hi truck! Sorry, we love to wave at all the trucks that go by.

I know you do. I know you do.

But yeah, anyways, so we're on the way to the lawyer's office and then we're gonna get your dad, like, some sort of muffin. He's craving a muffin. We're gonna get that after, put it all. So, but the musical, the musical, what were you saying?

Is it Hamilton? Ask him if it's Hamilton.

Is it Hamilton?

It's a brand new musical. It's like Hamilton.

There's at least one rap.

It's not me. Don't worry. I don't have to do the rap.

What is it about?

You know what? That's the crazy thing is we go up in two months and they haven't written the words or the songs yet. But they say it's not a big deal. No, I think it's normal for this kind of thing because... Is it a scam? Is it title of show? The improvised musical? You know what? You know what? I'm looking at the docu-sign that I sent over. Yes, this is a scam.

Okay, sure. Honey, what's the name of the theater? We'll look it up.

You know what I did is I signed over. This is from opposing counsel. It looks like I signed over our family's rights to Betty Boop and perpetuity. Oh boy. I told you guys you should have never given me power of attorney. None of us knew what that meant. Hang up the phone, honey. It wasn't worth be having.

Hang up the... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Can you keep paying my rent?

Boop, boop, be do. Please, three more years.

Same, same. Three more years. That got way too real at the end. I have no life, but I can die. What am I? A light bulb. You're very close with light bulb and I really enjoy that. That is absolutely correct.

The sun.

We're gonna give you five points. What's up? Oh, nature's light bulb.

Can I tell you what? I got a text yesterday from my old landlord and he was like, when we moved out, I hired a cleaning company to like clean the apartment because I was like, I don't feel like doing this myself or a hire company to do it. And the apartment will be empty. And he was like, I love this is like two years ago, by the way. He's like, I love that cleaning service that you use. Can you tell me who they were? I'd love to hire them again. So I like went into my Yelp and like found them and I was like, yeah, I think this was this company. They did a good job. And he was like, hope you're well, and I haven't talked to him a long time, and I was like, yeah, hope you're well as well. And he sent me back this, like, long text message about, like, his life and, like, how he was doing it. And this is my old landlord. And, like, one of his things was he was like, yeah, you know, our daughter's in grad school now, and, like, you know, now she's off in Paris. Guess who's paying for that? And I'm like, this is so... We're not bad at a barbecue. This is so much, so much to like text like your old tinnit like this update about like, yeah, I'm paying for my daughter's vacation.

That's hysterical.

That's weird and also I want to say deeply sad that he's like I want to connect with someone. I can't remember. Did he sell that building that you were in to like for like a new project or a new building or something for the Cubs? Was that? No. No. Okay.

No. I don't know what that is. That's nothing.

That's not my life. His building's got to be worth a few million.

No. I don't know what you're talking about. I have no idea. Oh, wait.

Hey Riddle Riddle.

I apologize. And then I will also say, what about a battery, like a phone battery?

Ding, ding, ding, ding. JBC, it's your landlord texting.

It is a battery. Hold on, we're ripping the phone battery out of my iPhone. It's almost impossible to do, but yeah.

So, JBC, you were right, and I want to, I want to posit a question. Okay. Is the Energizers Bunny Is the battery in the Energizer Bunny? Is that his spine? Is that his heart? Is that his brain? What is that? If he were to have an operation, if his battery died, would they defibrillate it? Would he just be dead?

Here's the thing.

It would be a pretty bad creature if they couldn't just switch out the battery. But, maybe, I mean, bunnies aren't meant to live forever, so maybe that creature just lives as long as the battery lives.

I'd like to see a scene.

Can I just quickly say, I applaud you. Thank you so much for calling it a creature, which is what it is. Dr. Energizer is an abomination, and we should keep in mind this is his creature. Yes, yes.

Okay, so JBC, you are the energizer bunny and you're feeling a little tired, a little sluggish, and Adal, you are his doctor that he is talking to.

Yeah, just like I noticed that like I just I'm not getting the same like beats per minute on the drum that I used to get.

Okay, what are our BPMs right now? Put your finger to your back and feel.

It's never gonna be able to reach back there. It can really only hold the sticks. Okay.

Well, let me use my... This is a special stethoscope. Okay. Let me just put this up here and take a big deep breath.

I don't necessarily breathe as much. Okay.

Yikes. Okay. Could you... Okay. Let me grab my little flashlight here. My pen light. Can you take off your sunglasses, please? I'd really rather not.

They did not finish whatever was going on underneath.

Okay.

Yeah, if I could just leave them on, that would be kind of preferable.

Interesting.

And you can't recommend it. You are an energizer bunny doctor, correct? You've dealt with my kind before?

Absolutely. Whatever. I'm whatever you want me to be. Have you always been this color?

I'd like to hear that. I'm sorry?

Have you always been this color? Is this new? Is this...

Oh, you're asking me because like I'm a Gen Z on pink or whatever. No, it's yeah, this is my color. This is the color. It's not like a weird dye job or something like that.

Gotcha, gotcha. And okay, and can you do me a favor? Since you're already holding a good tool for this, can you use one of your little drumsticks and tap your own knee?

I'm just doing a quick Scan of the old body here. Okay, so I don't believe I have knees.

And can you actually let go of those drumsticks or are those your hands?

Yeah, and should you have dealt with my kind of creature before, huh? Absolutely. Okay, yes, because of course I cannot let go of the drumsticks. If I could, I'd literally do anything else with my life. But I got a big drum on my chest, and drumsticks, and I have to hit it. And I'm hitting it slow. So I came to the only fucking doctor... Okay, calm down. ...who has reviews on Zoktok that says that you work with my type of creature.

Zoktok, he's back? I thought Spider-Man killed him.

Wait, why would you think that? Spider-Man never kills.

Turn off the shades. Listen, can you keep a secret?

Like the jail or the raft or whatever. Spider-Man doesn't kill. Spider-Man uses Arkham.

Yeah, everyone uses Arkham. They just don't talk about it.

Yeah, okay. So that's Marvel and DC. You're the worst fucking doctor that I've ever been to in my life. Excuse me? What's the co-pay for this?

Okay, what is it? We both know what that is, but for anyone listening, that would be... It's fine.

I joke. I don't have money. I don't have a wallet. I have no job. I have no hands.

Is this drum getting bigger by the second?

Anyway, if you could just remove the battery, I think I'm done. I've left a good life.

Okay, and is there anyone I need to contact? Is there a next of kin?

Hey Riddle.

That's a good, what corporation would be funny to get tattooed on your butt?

Oh, that's a good question. That's such a good question.

Oh, that's tough, because day-to-day corporations could really, poison controls, ooh, Erin, that might be the best one.

I think that there probably, there probably are people with a poison control tattoo, because that kind of is like, you know, edgy and cool.

And then when you fart and someone is like, ugh, you can like pull down just above your butt crack to show the number and be like, if it's so bad, call.

What about if it's more like tramp stamp territory? Like it's like lower back tattoo.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I like that a lot. Mine would be, I would get Cole's customer service.

Oh, that's a really good one. Well, obviously.

Great one. Yeah. I love, I love me some Cole's.

I think it'd be fun to do like a KB Toys because they're just gonna get like a doo-doo-doo. I think it's fun to just be like misleading. The only way you don't regret it is if it's a corporation that's defunct. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. So I'll get an H.H. Gregg tattoo, corporate... Walten books. B-Dalton. Walten books, yeah. Komp USA. Komp USA corporate phone number tattoo on my ass. Like, I think this, I think this store went out of business before they had phone numbers.

Edible arrangements.

Oh, they might send you around.

Yeah, you could probably still get an edible arrangement. And I will be, if there's, listen, I just want to say, if any listener happens to be in the cast of the Betty Boop musical, Boop Doop Adusical, I apologize. Please send me tickets and I will be there. JVC and I will be there. And let me send you an Edible Arrangement to apologize for me doubting. Hey, Edible Arrangements are like $90.

Yes.

I have, there have been some, I won't say fans, there have been some listeners of this show that have said some horrible things to me, but the worst thing any listener could ever do would be to send me a free ticket to a Betty Boop musical. That would be, I would be so fucking mad.

I think you guys are totally wrong about this. I think that this is going to be genuinely good.

Erin, are you willing to make a trip into Chicago?

When is it?

What if the three of us do this for a review crew?

I would. We'd have to let the people vote.

We'd have to let the people vote. We have to.

I don't even think, I'm not this guy, I'm not moralizing here. I don't think it's gonna be good or bad. I'm just gonna be good. I won't enjoy it. It doesn't, whatever it is, it will not be a thing for me to like.

Yeah, I don't think you're the demographic they're going after. Cramudgy supervillain. Yeah.

JBC off the air, he doesn't say this much on air. Off the air constantly is saying, I am what I am. Because you live by the... Power plant. You live by the power plant. And you'll die by the power plant.

That's in the Bible. That's in the Bible folks, read your Bible.

Live by the power plant, die by the power plant. Erin Bragovich, here's the next riddle. I make a loud sound when I'm changing. When I do change, I get bigger, but way less. What am I? I make a loud sound when I'm changing. When I do change, I get bigger, but way less. Erin, this wonderful guess again, but not the one listed here.

What about like an ice machine? I'm not having a good day with these riddles.

Erin, don't make the jerk-off motion.

Hey, I'm all rested up. Alrighty, here we come back into the snark game.

We had the same shit for breakfast, Erin. You had the same shit for breakfast. Breakfast twins!

We're the breakfast twins! Okay, okay, what is happening?

I want to see a scene. Oh no. The two of you are the breakfast twins and you have been... This is a new campaign for a cereal. So you're two characters, the breakfast twins, and we are seeing their commercial for some certain cereal.

My name's Bacon and this is my butter, eggs.

Wubba Wubba Wubba Wubba Wubba Wubba. Are you hungry for some cereal?

I know I am, Eggs. Tell them what we got.

We got the only non-shelf, stable cereal in the entire breakfast line. They had to build a special cooler in the aisle just for all cereal.

It's eggs, it's bacon, and it's in your cereal bowl.

That's right, but that's not all. It's also the main ingredient is high fructose corn syrup and pennies. The pennies are for the shape.

Dentists hate us. Kids hate us too.

But parents are going to like the price point if they're rich.

It's a status symbol. It's high-fructose corn syrup, pennies, eggs, and bacon in a cereal bowl with the milk of your choice poured on top.

Coming soon from General Milns and they told me, hit the end in Milns. Really hit the end. Baking eggs in cereal.

Baking eggs should not be consumed. Baking eggs is not shelf stable. See you penny, penny, penny up.

Who is that guy? That guy doesn't work here. Why is he talking so fast?

Why is he talking so fast? I make a lot sound when I'm changing. When I do change, I get bigger, but way less. What am I?

And I said, I said like an ice maker, but that, that's not, it's not ice. Ice maker definitely, definitely weighs.

So like water melting.

Cube of ice versus water. They have to weigh the same, right?

Here's the thing, I don't know because I will never trust, like I don't trust weight because I think big weight is that big scale is out there to get me.

What happened to us? The pandemic happened and now we're even more broken.

I'll move next to a power plant and I think a lot of it is that for me.

I don't know Adal, can I have a really good hint?

really good hand okay I make a lot someone I'm changing when I do change I get bigger but way less this is something that you could that could change in our kitchen we've probably all changed this in our kitchen at some point the changing processes happen our kitchen and sometimes to a very specific place it happens when we go out in public

Is it our lives? Is it sitting on the kitchen table with a pencil and a pen and saying, what am I writing on the pen? What am I doing? I need paper.

I need paper. These are the change of our lives. So there's one specific place to go. Erin, if you read my text messages from, I want to say yesterday, this is where I'm going. The one place that the change happens out in public is where I'm going immediately after this recording. Movie?

Okay.

Adal is going to go see a movie after this. And what's one item you can get at a movie theater that you probably can't get anywhere else except for your kitchen?

Popcorn! Popcorn!

I make a loud sound when I'm changing. Big old pop. When I do change, I get bigger but way less. What am I?

I would like to see a scene. You two are popcorn kernels in the microwave and then you change and you're freaked out because you don't know what's happening to you.

Attention. Colonel. Colonel. Good to see you here. Good to see you. They put us in the same unit, so this is going to be a little awkward.

Yeah. Well, we're trained for this. We know exactly what to expect.

We know exactly what to expect. Let me unfurl this map in the microwave and set down. Let me get out one of those pointers that I see. Let me point here. This is our objective. Can we agree?

Yeah, that is the enemy, that is the man who is cooking us in the microwave. We are trying our best to get lodged in his throat and kill him.

Absolutely, absolutely. Here's the battlefield. This will be some sort of metal bowl that I think we're going to be dumped into. Now, a lot of us won't survive the bag itself. A lot of us may never even change into our fatigues.

But that's okay. I mean, remember, if only one Colonel, it's just like Sperm. If only one gets through, our mission is complete. All we're trying to do, not kill him, is make this guy choke. We just wanted to go... That's all.

Colonel? Colonel? Sorry, man. Continue. I don't know. I don't know. We're just like Sperm. You keep... I feel like anytime we work together, you constantly use that analogy. Do I? No, it's not any time. I feel like several campaigns you have mentioned that were just like sperm. And I just wish, I think in front of the soldiers, I feel like there's got to be a better analogy.

You know what it is? It's this thing, because I'm a popcorn, where I just learned what sperm is. I'm a popcorn too. Well, yeah, I know. And we don't, obviously we don't have, you know, that. Yeah. But I just learned what it was, and now it's like I'm seeing it everywhere, you know? Wow. I apologize. Do you want me to say something to the troops? Would you?

Yeah, Colonel.

So, attention, attention. I'll amend my previous statement. Well, our mission is not just like sperm. There's actually a ton of differences.

Why did he talk so much about the sperm?

Weird drive. Uh... Uh... Help me out here, Colonel. What are some of the other differences? You does this, Ditch. Don't expect me to jump in the foxhole with you?

Is it just me or are we getting hot in here, fellas? I'm starting to sweat.

Oh no, I'm getting a little nauseous. Are we spinning? Oh, oh.

Okay, the mission's gonna begin. Everyone remember your tricks.

We're beautiful.

Oh, hell yeah. I look like I just got a BBL lip injections and I look fine as dead a lot of wine.

I feel like I just got buckle fat removed. Glow up. That's a popcorn glow up. Glow up. Well hey everybody, why don't you make some popcorn. Treat yourself to the nature's sperm. Is that right?

No. I'd say don't ruin popcorn. That would be my big advice. No, no, no. Don't ruin popcorn.

We'll be right back.

I know what you're thinking. Do I have a new hat, Adal and JPC? New haircut? Why am I walking around with so much confidence?

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

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

Anyways, I just had a bunch of subscriptions canceled for me by Rocket Money that I wasn't using. And so now I'm flushed with cash and now I'm confident. Pretzel money? Well, maybe. We'll talk about that. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that binds and cancels your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps you lower your bills all in one place. I've been using it for years, even before they were a sponsor.

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

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

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

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

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

Hey, what's going on? Somebody leaned over my rocket money painting. Run. Everybody run. Run. Oh, no. Maroon.

Is that DaVinci?

Yeah. Yes.

And bye.

Hi, Adal and JPC.

Oh, greetings. Greetings, Erin. We're just- Hey, Erin. Our normal selves today. I'm just myself. I'm normal. Hey, we're both normal.

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.

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.

Yeah, and Erin, if you want Erin Land, 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.

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

Great eye.

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 have 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.

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.

Ah, 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.

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

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

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Hey everybody, this is GPC and I'm here too. 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.

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 to my nervous system.

We're going to need that, yep.

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 snuggly ever.

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.

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

Intrusive thought. Bad.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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-wise. Plus free shipping. That's buyraycon.com slash riddle to score 20% off. buyraycon.com slash riddle. Oh, Adal.

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.

The costume is 20% back on.

Yes. He's really buried himself in it. We miss you, boy. Get better soon. I miss you, Adal.

And we are back. We hope you enjoyed your popcorn break.

Hey, sperm break.

Erin, don't ruin popcorn, you just said.

Honestly, you guys talking about popcorn so much is starting to ruin sperm for me, something that I actually enjoy. What? Wait, huh?

I'm not a popcorn guy. I'm not a popcorn guy.

I'm not a popcorn guy. Erin, what do you think, top of the dome?

Yep.

What do you think? We're going to go Erin JBC, Erin JBC, and so forth and so on, into infinity. What do we think the titles of some of the songs from Betty Boop, The Boop-Doop-Adusical will be?

The opening number is one full song where she's just going Ooh, maybe. And it goes on for seven minutes.

Is that the title? That's the title of the song?

Yeah.

Erin, can I say, I've never realized until this moment how much of your personality you've cribbed from Betty Boop.

Erin, run! They're onto us! Grab one if you can! Candles, pens.

Computer. I will say track or the second the second song on the musical will be titled, Ellipses? Huh? Question mark. Ellipses? What are the other characters? Question mark.

Okay. I'm gonna put my foot in the door here and enter the fray and I'm gonna say there's gonna be a song called Boop Boop Adoo Wop. Okay. It's gonna be like an acapella song. I also think there's going to be a moment where Betty Boop gets angry or sad and she's going to be like, but I don't know where to go. And that'll be a big pop from the audience. Is that a thing from Betty Boop? Were you referencing something? No, but I think because her voice is so high all the time and up here, I think they'll make a moment where she talks real low and that'll be a big like, ha ha.

Should there be a song called See Ya in the Funny Papers? Was Betty Boop in the funny paper?

Was she a comic strip at all? Is that the title of the song, is all those questions?

It's not done yet.

Wait, was she married to Peter Bailey or Ziggy? I can't remember.

I think she definitely had a thing with Kathy.

What other songs do we think? I think there's gonna be there's gonna be one called Black and White and then in parentheses not Michael Jackson.

Mark Myers says this is going to win Tonys. This is going to be a blast. It's going to be an old world musical and everyone's going to love it. And then this, when people find this episode in four years, we're going to look foolish. Well, not me, you jerk-off motion.

Oh no. People don't live for four years this close to the power plant. The power plant kills way quicker than that.

Gypsy can say whatever he wants because he has minutes to live. I think there's going to be a song called Color me happy. Color me surprised. Color me something.

I don't know what this musical could be. The only way that I can see this making sense is if there's just some other songs from other musicals in there. Like if, you know, they just start adding like throw away, not like big cuts, not like they're not going to do like, um, if I was a rich man or whatever that song is, but they'll do like a Fiddler B side will be thrown in there. So people will be like, is this?

What's a Fiddler B side song?

Not even a jukebox musical, but just outright stealing songs from other musicals.

Stealing the album tracks from other musicals.

Filled the B-side will be like... I don't see the song Anna Tefka being in the Betty Boop musical, you know?

I think it's a little heavy.

I am walking out... I am walking out... I am walking out if they have Betty Boop sing Finishing the Mint. The worst song in Broadway history from Dear Evan Hansen. Okay, see? See? Okay. I'm now I'm excited because I don't know what this will be.

Do you know if there's an intermission with this musical? Because one of my favorite things about a musical is they have an intermission. I wish movies did this too to give everyone an opportunity to just walk if they want to without any judgment.

Here's the thing, this musical absolutely will not have an intermission because of retention. They want you to feel ashamed to leave and embarrassed, so they're leaving the lights on the whole time and no intermission.

I would be fine with that too if the musical was one hour long. I sit through so many movies that are awful and they're two and a half hours long. That sucks. So if the Betty Boop musical, I'll go on record. If the Betty Boop musical is like 65 minutes, I'll go to it and I'll have the time of my life.

Do you think there's going to be a moment where she kind of shakes her, she kind of does a shimmy and she goes, I've never seen a comic strip. And that gets a big pop.

Adal, I think the Lady Doth protests too much. I think this is going to be your favorite musical of all time. I'm not even kidding. I predict that right now that you are going to absolutely love this musical.

If you're a listener of this show, can you just do me one favor? Make us much more popular, however you do that. Adal tell you you're business. You make our show ten times as popular so that we can reach out to whoever is the lead of the Betty Boop musical and then invite them onto the show to solve Riddles. That's all I want to do.

I want to have the director Jerry Mitchell on because I want to talk to him about the movie Camp. Do you guys remember that movie from the early 2000s about a theater camp? He choreographed that movie and I have a lot of questions about it.

Who's in it?

Anna Kendrick's in it and what's his name?

And more.

The guy from Tick Tick Boom. I forgot his name. Andrew Garfield? No, the other guy.

Jonathan Larson? Hey Gary, it's your brother Jonathan Larson. You know that far side you've been looking for?

I'm gonna figure out his name.

Look, we want the podcast to be anything except what it is so that Erin can talk to Cory on the first.

Yes! If you cared about me you would have the show be that.

I love someone from Mensa, like a Mensa member being like, ooh, a podcast about riddles. Finally I get to flex my brain muscles. And then they turn it on and Erin's like, so what's like the silliest dance you've ever done?

Yeah. The new rules, we can have any guest on the show that we want. We just have to ask them one riddle and then the rest could be whatever you like.

I'm underappreciated in my time. I'm misunderstood.

Erin, I appreciate you more than I appreciate anyone in my life. And that includes myself.

Still not enough. Okay.

Adal was making the jerk off motion when he said, appreciate himself. Just FYI to any listener.

Let's do, speaking of any Mensa members who might be listening, we should scramble to do another Riddle because that would be crazy if we didn't. I am easy to lift, but hard to throw. What am I?

Easy to lift, but hard to throw.

What they call people they don't like in the UK, as well as bell-ins, which is... I guess... Paints.

Paints means underwear.

Yeah. I made that mistake before when I was living in Canterbury. I said, ooh, I got crap all over my pants, and everyone laughed. And I felt real bad.

Maybe they laughed because you said it funny. Like, you're a funny guy. It's not impossible that you delivered it really funny.

Yeah, it's true. My timing is... impeccable. Easy to lift, but hard to throw. What am I? Easy to lift.

Oh, our hearts to the Lord.

Oh, not this again.

I do want to see a scene. God damn it. The three of us are in some sort of congregation, some sort of house of worship, and the head of that house of worship is clearly improvising on stage, and it's time to sing a song, and they are clearly trying to kind of make up the words as they go along. JBC, you are the head of the house of worship.

And Jeremiah took upon the fish and ate. And now if we could all pick up our book of Psalms. I'm being told by our deacon here that our books of Psalms were taken to the cleaners for Psalm cleaning. So let's just do one we all know.

Thank you Jeremiah.

Please be quiet at church. Sorry. Let's just do what we all know, huh? Let's sing the one, let's sing... the one that, um... Look, he's panicking. Let's sing... Moses' Big Night, huh? We all know that one.

I don't think I know Moses' Big Night.

Get your phone out. Join in when you know it. When the chorus kicks in, join in. Moses' Big Night. Oh, Mr. Burning Bush, I do not think upon your wish. And if I had it my way, we'd all be free. And now it's time for Moses' big night. I'll start by cooking up a steak with my best friend Jake.

And then I'll cook up some fish and serve it on a dish. Is that right? I don't know this. Carol, now you go. Carol, you go.

And then I cook up a bush and I burn it to that!

Hey Carole.

Hey Carole.

I know you went to choir college, but do you kind of get the vibe that everyone else is putting out there? It's just more of a song.

See?

Those are always my favorite ladies in church. Sing eight times louder than everyone else. Way higher. Casey knows exactly what I'm talking about. And they are Soprano screaming at everyone.

Oh, Soprano screaming. One of my favorite spin-offs. I want to be that lady when I get older.

She's having the time of her life.

I was just talking- Oh, go ahead. No, please. Go ahead. I was just talking to a couple friends of mine about The Sopranos because it's been a decade since I've seen it, but I'm like, it's wild that they had a very limited cast of characters and they were like, what are some mafia names? Paulie Walnuts and Big Pussy. These are going to be our two mafia guys on The Sopranos.

Yeah, it does feel like, wouldn't that guy get beat up every day?

It's just two names that you're like, These are the two guys in the show? Come on.

Silvio Dante? What are we doing? And the most unbelievable name, Christopher Multisante. Let's do... Let's do... Hold on, we never solved this riddle. I'm easy to lift, but hard to throw. What am I? And it's not your voice.

I don't know. Did I say fuck you yet? Or is that... Let me check my notes here.

You did, but it was in a different context. It was too different riddle. Erin and JPC, I will say this is something that we mentioned at the top of the show. Oh, is it your voice? It's not your voice.

Because it's kind of hard to throw your voice. Have you ever tried to throw your voice and like do like ventriloquism? I have.

Let's see if we can do it. Try it.

All right, Erin. Try to talk without moving your teeth and mouth, okay?

We'll go around and try it, Erin. Run one.

Hey everybody, let's try it.

Holy shit. Holy shit. I love it. I love how bold Erin was in trying it. It's so hard. It's like someone's like, hey, do an impression of this person. You've never done it before and now you're just trying and she did it.

That was like watching someone enter the like Indianapolis 500 and they turn on their car and it explodes. Alright Adal, go ahead. You're a ventriloquist. And everyone's going, I just checked the car, I don't know what happened.

I think it helps if you're like smiling with your, like a little bit maybe with your, yeah. Alright Adal, it's your turn.

I'm trying to get close to the mic but where you can still see my face but it's very hard.

Hey guys, how's it going today? Hey, I was gonna go over to the convenience store and grab a gallon of milk.

That's not good. It's not good.

Okay, okay, tough guy.

No, you do it.

Okay, you do it. Hey, there's a lot of good-looking people here in the audience tonight. Okay, you nailed it.

There's a lot of good people.

There's a lot of good people on both sides of the aisle here in the audience tonight. A lot of good. Let's go around and applause for the liberals.

He looks like you're whitening your teeth, but you want to yell at your son too.

In public. Don't turn around.

Don't turn around, but Nick Nolte is right behind you. Here's what was improv is the lowest form of comedy, but we could have been ventriloquists.

Nick Nolte is right behind you.

Don't freak out. Nick Nolte is right behind you. Nick Nolte is milking my donkey.

Alright, that's what you have to say. If you could say Nick Nolte is milking my donkey without moving your lips or teeth, then you could be a ventriloquist.

Nick Nolte is milking my... Oh, milking is tough. Milking and don't care.

Milking is all lips.

And hold on, I just realized... Hold on, I realized I just said the phrase milking is all lips and I just want... And I just want to apologize to the listeners.

If you're listening to episode 252 of Hey Riddle Riddle and you've been wondering for the past 50 minutes why it's called Nick Nolte is milking my donkey. Well, you've just figured it out.

I do like that like 10 minutes ago I was like, can you imagine if a member of Mensa tuned into Erin interviewing a choreographer? Wouldn't that be like, what is the show? When the show as is Just batshit crazy.

It's four smart people by smart people. That's the show.

Wait, four smart people? One, two, three. Oh, no.

Uh-oh. Casey, I hope Casey's smart. I hope Casey's smart. Here's what I'll say.

Listeners, please, we beg of you. We implore you. Make us popular, however you do that. Make our audience grow ten times. We know you can do it. It's very simple. Do you think? Word of mouth, word of... Twitter, do your thing. Puff disease. And then somehow finagle Jeff Dunham to come on the show. We get Jeff Dunham on, we interview him, we do riddles, and then he teaches us a workshop.

I just got an email from Jeff Dunham's people.

He'll do it.

It seems like he'll do... He didn't even really feel it yet. That's kinda crazy.

Hold on, wait. But he's not bringing the chili pepper, right?

No, it says he's only bringing the terrorist guy. So it should be all good. No, no, it's not good.

Hold on, it's a dead terrorist.

Oh yes, thank you.

That makes it so much better. The dummy is a dead terrorist. Do you have any voicemails? What a nightmare. Well, hold on. Did we do the riddle? No, we did not. I am easy to lift but hard to throw. What am I? This was mentioned at the top of the show and it was pertaining to one of the gifts that I gave Erin. This is a lift. Well, that was a gift from JPC and me. This is a gift from Mockingbird.

A feather!

It is a feather. Easy to lift but hard to throw. A feather, my dear boy.

Oh, yeah. Okay. That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a... That makes a...

Let's do some voicemails.

Let's hear a brand new theme right about now. Casey?

Call 30 seconds or less. Leave a question or a riddle or tell us that we're the best. It seems like you can finally leave a message for the crew. Cause we like the show we do. Oh, and you can tell JPC these voicemail things are so fun. Call 805 Riddle 1. Speak a voicemail, a voicemail, a voicemail from me. Leave a voicemail, a voicemail, a voicemail from me.

All right, that theme was submitted by Jeff Dudub.

So many songs have come out and been in the Zeitgeist since that song. How was that top of mind? Did you fall down the stairs?

Erin, that's the only one I like. The other ones are fine, but that's the one I like. That's so funny.

Yeah, it says here, submitted by Jim Potato Catfish. Hey, interesting. Interesting, interesting, interesting.

He sounds mysterious.

Yeah. It's a smart show for smart people.

And of course... Oh, that's the four smart people. It's four smart people, not four icy. It's a homonym. Wait, did we ever discover what a homonym was? No, we never will. Anyway, if you ever want to send us a voicemail, whether that be a question or just some big old question or a couple of questions, maybe a short question, no longer than a minute question, you can leave it somewhere.

No, no. Listen to the song. It's 30 seconds and the number is 805 Riddle 1. It's all part of the song, Adal.

What if they read it dramatically? Even if your question is, will you please attend my musical, The Boop Boop Adusical, you can leave us a voicemail at 1-805-RIDDLE-1. Again, that's 1-805-RIDDLE-1. And you can also email us theme songs to hrrpodcast at gmail.com Don't leave us a voicemail with a theme song, because that'll be weird, but send that to hrrpodcast.com.

If you don't email us, if you don't email us theme songs, we're not going to stop doing the segment. I'm just going to sing the theme songs, and we don't want that to happen.

We don't want that, please. Casey, can we please play our first voicemail?

Hey Riddle Riddle. Hey guys, this is Amanda, big fan. I was just watching the Muppet Show on Disney Plus for the very first time. I was watching Madeline Khan's episode of season two, and I How about that the Swedish chef has human hands? Just was wondering if you guys knew that the Swedish chef has fully human hands. Anyway, sorry to ruin your night. Thank you. Amanda.

Oh, sweetie, Amanda. Of course. Of course he has human hands.

Amanda, if you're wondering why I haven't slept in many, many years, it's because I too realize that the Swedish chef has human hands. Disturbing. Horrible.

Hell. I think I realized it the first time I ever saw a Swedish chef because he was like, I can't remember if he was like cracking eggs or tossing flour or whatever, but you can't have a fake hand, you can't, I think legally, you can't have a puppet hand touch poultry, raw poultry.

Oh yeah, because you'll get salmonella.

He gets salmonella, which is another muppet that they unfortunately didn't make the cut. I'm very sick.

Salmonella, get out of here.

Shut the trap door. Shut the trap door.

I need penicillin or something? What do you do for this?

We also retired penicillin. But yes, I think I recognize that the very first time I ever saw the Swedish chef. But it is, if you look at it too long, it's almost like staring at the sun where your vision starts to go blurry and it really hurts your soul to something.

Don't, are you staring at the sun that long? What are you doing? Don't do that. Trump did it. Trump did it when he was president.

Amanda obviously has very good taste. Skipping to the Madeleine Cahn episode?

So good.

That's pretty iconic, pretty good.

I hope you watched the Moomin Chance, Moomin Chance episode and then listened to our review crew of it on Patreon. JPC, did you notice that the chef has hands?

I don't even know what the guy looks like. I've never, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of him.

Okay. Okay. Here's a new ventriloquist test.

Yeah, it's the easiest one.

And that's fun.

Remember like four years ago we did a game where we used to sing songs as a Swedish chef?

Yeah, and we laughed really hard.

Anybody remember that?

Remember?

Drawing a blank on that.

Doesn't matter. Next voicemail.

Sounds like something that would conceivably happen on the show. Okay, let's play the next voicemail, Casey, whenever you're ready. Well, not whenever you're ready now.

Hey, click group. Big fan. This is Flynn, Dave M. I've been tooling around with getting a puzzle sleeve tattoo. So, like, the idea is it's got, like, the doku crossword, like, where's Waldo? Any sort of, like, a collage of visual puzzles that people, like, at a party can look at your sleeve and do. So, anyway, if you want to riff on that idea, I'd love some suggestions. Thanks for all you do.

Have fun. Bye. Thank you so much. Their name was Flynn? Was that Flynn? Flynn. Flynn, I love this idea. As someone who's obsessed with all riddles and puzzles and Games Magazine is maybe the best thing you could ever buy a subscription to, except for I hate logic problems. I think this is a great idea. Let's riff. What do we think should be included on this sleeve for Flynn? Maybe like, I'd say I'd start with maybe even a Sphinx. I think a Sphinx is table setting. I think it lets people know this is not your ordinary tattoo. This is something different.

Well, but at the point of it was I believe Flynn said they wanted people at like a party to be able to like do the puzzles.

Okay, tough guy. Well, then it's connect the dots and when they connect the dots, it's a big old sphinx. I think that's fun.

Oh, connect the dots is really good. I think it would be, this also doesn't totally work, but if you do a jigsaw puzzle and have a piece be missing and then put that piece somewhere else on your body and they have to find where that piece is. Tape it to your head.

Tattoo it up your sleeve.

No, just get it tattooed like on your other side of your body, like on the bottom of your foot or something. And then people have to find that piece.

They have to get you naked. It should be over their heart.

Oh.

Can you tattoo a magic eye puzzle on someone? Is that something that can be tattooed?

I would love if you're getting a magic eye tattoo and the artist keeps saying, relax your eyes, relax your eyes.

I just googled it and no, you can't get that.

Hey Riddle.

Like the wordle graph and then you can change the wordle.

What's the one, I forget what what the name of the puzzle type is, but there's one where it's like two columns and say that it's like, say like one side is like colleges and the other side is mascots and you have to draw a line from what, you know what I'm talking about? Yeah, that's a good puzzle.

I think one really hard math problem.

But, but specifically the one from Good Will Hunting.

Yeah. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

And we all remember what that one was.

We all remember. Which was, let's do it one number at a time. I'll start. X.

Anything to plug?

Yes, here's what I want to plug. I want to plug Our Patreon, which is, you can go to patreon.com slash HeyRiddleRiddle. Also check out the show's sitcom D&D, Bill Buds, and Hello from the Magic Tavern, and tell me about it. And you can also find Patreons for all those shows. So please support those shows. I feel like just in general, Patreon lets us do what we do. I can't stress that enough. Patreon really is a boon to our lives, our creative process, and the show as a whole, and all the shows we do. Please, if you are able to, even if it's just for a short period of time, support us on Patreon. Erin, anything to plug?

Yes, I was on the podcast My Neighbors Are Dead, and that should be coming out this week, I think. So if you want to check me out on that show, love that show, you can find me even in it.

What movie did you do?

I did The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Nice. The very popular movie that Laura Linney was in.

Famously, famously. I did Cocoon for mine, which I think is even less popular.

The War Horse of Movies. I would like to read a review, and if you want to get a review right on the show, just go give us a five-star review wherever you leave reviews, and I might pick yours and read it. Hey, today I picked Tyler Schlesinger's. I love these guys. These guys are honestly so funny. I drive for work a lot, and these guys make it not only bearable, but enjoyable. You can say my name if you want. And that's the end of the review. That's kind of nice. There's no weird stuff they wanted me to say. Before we end the episode, actually, can I just tell you guys something? Casey, can you cut this, please? Yeah, just really quick, I know it's bad timing, but I have to get this off my chest now. Adal, you leave me breathless. I know this might be a lot to handle, but please don't interrupt, I just need to get this out now. You are so funny and so kind, and I know we can never be together, but that makes me want you so much more. We'll be forever star-crossed lovers. I talk to you every day. And you always leave me wanting more. The second the Zoom call ends, not a Zoom call, I miss you. Let's start another podcast. Just me and you. I'll name the things I love about you and swear we will never run out of content. But I know we can never be together. In fact, just ignore this. Let's pretend this never happened. It was all just a continuation of that review.

You talk like you're reading.

Yeah, except for when you do little asides like we're not on Zoom.

Erin, that's one of the greatest compliments an author like me can receive. I talk like I'm reading.

JBC, I leave you breathless. Oh my Jean-Luc Goddard?

Oh, Jupiter.

Please me breathless.

We can get out of here, right? Yeah, bye forever. Bye forever. Created by Adal Rifai. Starting Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan. Casey Toney did the editing.
