Adal

Okay, three doors in front of me. Okay, sort of a Robert Frost plus one, I guess. Okay. Okay, nobody else is with me. How do I choose? I'm gonna go... What would Erin do? Erin would probably go... Door number two, you dumb-dumb. Okay, let's open door number two. Who's back here? What's going on back here?

Erin

I'm hiding in here.

Adal

Oh shit. I'm sorry.

Erin

I'm playing hide-and-seek. Don't draw attention to me.

Adal

Oh, that sucks. I wasn't invited to play. Can I play?

Erin

Yeah? You can't hide here though. I'm here.

Adal

Okay. All right. Let me shut the door here.

JPC

Ready or not, here I come. Okay. Ooh. Where is that Erin? Three doors in front of me.

Adal

Two. Door number two.

JPC

I'm sorry?

Adal

Two. Said the lamp.

JPC

And I pull on the string, and put it on my face. Okay, walking in door number two, and... Okay, Erin and Adal in here.

Erin

Aw, man! Wee!

JPC

Adal, you were not invited to play. You were not invited to play, because I knew you would say door number two, and you would help me find Erin. This is why- I can't keep secrets! This is why we don't invite you to our games of hide-and-seek.

00:02:15

???

Oh.

Erin

Well, JPC, there's still one more person to find. Janet's the guest.

Adal

Janet Varney's the guest. I told you I can't keep secrets!

Erin

Are you even serious?

Adal

I'm freaking out. She's in door number one, I assume.

JPC

Let's all go check.

Janet

Surprise! No, Adal ruined it.

JPC

He ruined it. They ruined it? I delayed it.

Janet

But the cake!

Erin

This giant cake!

Janet

You guys don't wanna... Smash!

JPC

Smash! Smash!

Erin

Smash! An expense for nothing, Janet. An expensive bit for nothing. I spent $2,000 on this giant cake.

Janet

Hey everyone. How are you? It's me, sultry Janet Varney.

00:03:29

Erin

Hey Janet, other Janet is wondering if you have a pencil.

JPC

Hey Janet, we don't need you on the show anymore. We don't need you on the show anymore. Thank you so much for your long history and long service and your valued asset.

Erin

Goodbye, sultry Janet. That's the one we're leaving behind.

JPC

No! Wait! No!

Erin

Everybody, come out, come out, sit at your chairs, turn on your microphones. We're doing an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle, which is a riddles and puzzle and lateral thinking podcast, kind of. It's mostly a fever dream competition between three or four friends. So that's what this is. That's Adal, that's JBC, and that's Janet.

JPC

What are you doing right now, Erin? What do you mean? I've never seen you try. What are you doing?

Erin

This looks like trying. Yeah.

JPC

Are you sick? You're like introducing the show. You're like saying our names. What the fuck are you doing?

Janet

Can I ask you something really quick? Because I don't know why I'm hearing this for the first time now, even though I absolutely have heard you say it a billion times. I understand that, you know, when people get grumpy about, like, they thought there were gonna be more riddles and puzzles. Do you feel like the lateral thinking portion is what is the most professional sounding? That's the thing that makes it sound the most like Hey, this offers a lot of promise about clever solutions to life's problems. You know, puzzles and riddles are really just a way to fine-tune your brain to handle the real problems of life. To me, that's what I think is making people feel so, so deeply betrayed by this podcast. 99% of the listeners feel so deeply betrayed. I don't know Janet, there's a lot of betrayal here.

00:05:16

Adal

Okay, and we put Janet back in door number one and lift up with door number three. This is actually funny, this is really good. Sultry Janet, did you want to come on out?

Janet

Yeah, don't have a complaint about this podcast. I also don't have a sense of humor, but I do think this is a great podcast.

???

Slams.

Erin

Janet number one, come on out. Yeah, you know, I do remember Adal saying lateral thinking problems in the first episode. And I would say we've done that like six times in five years.

Adal

They are a type of riddle.

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

Yeah.

Janet

But that just sounds like the smartest. Like a puzzle, a riddle, you can give a lot of room to that and be like, ah, it's playful, I don't need my life's problems to be solved, I don't need tools. But I think when you say there's going to be lateral thinking problems, that's giving the false promise of giving someone a real life tool that they'll be able to use. And they're not going to get that here.

JPC

If the type of thinking that I'm doing isn't lateral thinking, I don't know what it is. Because it ain't thinking. I couldn't just walk down the street and be like, I'm having thoughts. No. Something bad is happening at an angle to my brain. I have descending thinking. I'm delivering the promise.

00:06:29

Janet

I absolutely am not going to jump over to something of equal value. That's what lateral thinking seems to me. I only get more and more stupid every time, I think, so it's descending thinking problems. Amen, sister. Yeah.

Erin

Do you think that anyone has gotten anything of value from this podcast or do you think it's mostly just betrayals and nightmares?

Adal

I think a community has risen from the hatred of the riddles we do. I think people have found sort of like-minded individuals and started to support one another. So I think that's something beautiful that's grown from the seeds of our terrible fruit.

JPC

And, uh, Adal and I at least bought houses.

Adal

Oh yeah, houses. You guys also bought houses.

Erin

That's so stupid.

???

You guys are idiots.

Erin

We will give you some money once you can do the splits.

Adal

We have, Erin I'm not joking, we have a savings account with six figures waiting to pay you. You haven't been paid for a single episode. The minute you do the splits, it all goes flooding into your bank account.

00:07:36

JPC

Stop emailing us. Erin, Erin has never been paid for the podcast. Why doesn't Erin get a share of the money for the podcast? She will get it when her trust matures. You cannot give a child this kind of money.

Janet

The idea that you're finally mature when you do the splits. You're emotionally and mentally mature enough to take on your trust fund when you can do the splits.

Erin

It's an amazing rule. Oh man. And you know, if I go to the hospital because I'm desperate for money, that's on you guys.

JPC

Yeah.

Erin

Because I rip myself in half trying to do the splits preemptively. And that's on you.

JPC

I will say that especially when you have a child and you have to establish a will and what happens to your assets when you die, we went through this process, there's a lot of questions that they ask of like, hey, so when you're dead, when you're dust, when you're gone, when you're a ghost, Should we give your child, like, your money? Or should they jump through a bunch of fucking hoops? Like, most people say a bunch of fucking hoops. And I was like, most people say that? Why? Like, I'm dead. Like, who gives an absolute shit what happens to me? I do think it's very funny when it's like, yeah, most parents actually do want to control their children from beyond the grave. That's what you would like to sign up for, correct?

00:08:59

Erin

I'm so sorry to make this about me, but I have to. Please leave me something funny in your will. I'm begging you. It can have no monetary value. I want it to make me laugh out loud, though.

JPC

I have one of the funniest things that I could leave for any person in my will, and it is being left to you, and that is medical debt. Oh, my medical debt goes directly to you, Erin. I can't explain how, but I got a good lawyer. I got a good lawyer.

Janet

I mean, that made me laugh. Okay. What about... Works for me. Maybe he could leave you his ability to do the splits, but then it's up to you to use it.

Adal

It's like a three-legged ring or something, yeah.

Janet

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

JPC

I was 33 when I found out about the concept of my own hips, so I don't know that I'm going to be able to lend Erin any splits-doing abilities.

Erin

It's also so funny that you mention that because I've been stretching more and my hips are the hardest part of my body to stretch and I do yoga and I do Pilates and it's pretty well known that there's a lot of trauma and emotion stored in your hips and that's why I can't Do the splits because I'm so sad. Because every time I try to start doing it, it just unlocks too much sadness from the past. So that's what's holding me back.

00:10:13

JPC

It's pretty well known that you store a lot of your emotions in your hips.

Erin

Google it! Google!

JPC

Yeah, that's gonna be my friend here, getting the most reliable information. Okay, the first four things are sponsored ads from medical scams. Great.

Erin

Okay, so these first warm-up riddles come from Colin. And we can use his name. In each puzzle, I'm going to give you a situation and you're going to give a real Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner that you could say during the situation. Colin, I love you.

JPC

Okay, good, good, good.

Erin

For example, if someone has a lot of uncut wood, they would say, get to the choppa. Oh, Colin. Be aware that there's going to be some homophone and slant rhyming nonsense.

Adal

But these will all be well-known Schwarzenegger one-liners.

JPC

Uh, yeah. I think the word they used was real, not well-known.

Janet

I keep my trauma in my hips.

00:11:14

Erin

Commando. Commando, right? You are leaving a party, but plan on returning.

JPC

I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. And I resign. Can I resign? Can I resign now?

Erin

I think you're gonna regret that in about 30 seconds. Okay, next one.

JPC

Okay.

Erin

You are choosing which half of a two-person horse costume to wear and your friend has already chosen the front. I'll be the back. Someone named Albie gets too close to you and you want him to move away.

Janet

You are choosing which role to play in an action movie full of famous musical composers.

JPC

You are naming an island that looks like an abdomen of a certain honey-making insect.

Janet

I'll be back.

Erin

Yep.

Adal

I'll be back. It's all about the emphasis. Oh, yeah. And the abdomen is the back. Okay.

00:12:19

Erin

Yeah, now it is. In the second aisle of an unusual grocery store, a chicken clucks.

Adal

Okay, here's where I'll go wrong.

Erin

Hint, usually named second aisle, chicken sound.

Adal

I'll be bookk. I'll be bookk.

Erin

Yep.

JPC

Nice. Aldi, Aldi Bukkak.

Adal

Aldi's Bukkake.

Janet

Nope.

JPC

Well. Nope.

Erin

This one is the one that is the most layered. A sick supermodel is auditioning for the starring role in the Kathy movie.

Adal

I'll be AK. AK.

Erin

I'll be back. AK.

???

AK.

Erin

Yeah. And bonus question, name one Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner that's not I'll be back or get to the chopper.

JPC

Chill out. It's not a tumor. Yes. I'm the Danny DeVito one.

Erin

Oh man. Well, thank you so much for those, Colin. I thought that would be a fun little thing to start with. That was beautiful.

Adal

What an amuse-bouche. And I do want to see a scene. Let's say that JPC and Janet, you two are on the set of an action movie. You're both the stars of this action movie and there's some wiggle room for improv. So you're both in sort of this intense action scene and you're both trying to kind of find your footing and what your character might say during certain scenes.

00:13:44

JPC

And the director said we could do a little improv, right?

Janet

I think, I think that's, I think that's what they, I think that's what he said. And action!

JPC

Uh, Miss Isle, what isle did you think I was aiming at?

Janet

Yeah, uh, this, whoa, this thing is the bomb.

Adal

and we got it and we got we have a full capture there let's go ahead and move over to the food fight scene in the cafeteria and wait really just just moving okay yeah no yeah yeah just real quick um it's me danny on sound uh you're wincing in pain is getting picked up on the mic just so you know

JPC

Take that, you! Let's squash this beef!

Erin

Looking around for squash, looking around for beef. It's only pizza.

00:14:53

Janet

Huh! I'll give you a pizza in my mind! Woo! Takes three bows, looks directly into camera lens, bows, bows, bows again, bows again.

Adal

That's sausage advice. And we got it, we got it. Can we cut out me saying there's only pizza? Is that, or no?

Erin

We can't! Danny the sound guy's not a god, I can only do so much.

Janet

I can't believe Danny DeVito's in the sound department on this film. This is fun, this is cool. Action! We're in a zoo, action!

JPC

Get to the giraffe! We did it!

Adal

It'd be terrible to be on a raft and there's a giant long neck and head in front of you.

JPC

Awful whitewater rafting. Zoo action! Fuck!

Erin

Okay. These next riddles are some Only Connect riddles from Ross.

Adal

Yes please.

Erin

Who has sent riddles before, which is amazing. Round one. We remember how these Only Connect ones work. They're sort of four little questions, and then you sort of solve why all those answers are connected. That's right. Okay. Great. Complete the phrase, I'm a lover, not a I'm a lover not a Batman.

00:16:16

JPC

I'm a lover not a Batman Begins.

Erin

I'm a lover not a Little Women.

JPC

I'm a lover not an Empire of the Sun. I'm a lover not a The Mechanic.

Erin

I'm a lover not a Vice.

JPC

I'm a lover not a The Mechanic.

Erin

2016 Star Wars film starring Felicity Jones. Rebel One. This is In the Celtic society, a druid.

Adal

A shaman.

Erin

Word for a magic user which takes its origin from the Latin phrase, one who influences fate or fortune.

00:17:17

JPC

Wizard.

Erin

No.

JPC

Sorcerer. Mage.

Erin

Sorcerer.

Janet

Sorcerer.

JPC

These are all base classes in the game Baldur's Gate 3. Loosely based upon the concept of Dungeons and Dragons.

Erin

I would like to see a scene. Janet, you're a fighter. Adal, you are a druid. And JBC, you are a sorcerer. And you guys are sort of having a drink and catching up after a long day.

Adal

Yes, everyone, bring me your cup and I will fill it to the top. And I just want to apologize and get ahead of it. I'm so sorry during the battle I just kept saying, let us pray. It just felt like, I don't know. Might as well try it out, right? Can't hurt to pray.

Janet

I'm less concerned about that than I am why you put pizza in this cup. I want something to drink. What are you telling me? There's only pizza? Look again. I've been fighting all day. I need booze.

Adal

Does magic look again? It's Liquid Pizza!

00:18:35

JPC

Uh, truly my bad, I kind of got into the heat of the moment and said, oh boy, what spells do I know?

Janet

There was a point at which you spelled the word sword, but like, you were just spelling the word sword. That wasn't a spell for a sword to magically appear, as I noticed when I was immediately stabbed as an empty-handed fighter. Yeah, yeah.

JPC

Because I swear to God, I was like, a spell sword. That's something, right? Yeah.

Adal

That's something, right? It was a little embarrassing. I pretended not to be fighting with you when you yelled, 100 foot wall of flame and all that happened was a grasshopper turned into a cricket. I kind of did, you know, I started to punch one of you two. I can't remember which one.

JPC

It was me. You punched me.

Adal

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Here, have some more liquid pizza.

JPC

Yeah, the grasshopper cricket thing too may have been incidental to the me casting that spell. I honestly thought I knew more spells. I don't know what to say.

Janet

Honestly, I didn't even pay that much attention to what was going on with you guys because the whole time I was fighting I was just feeling and I gotta get this out somewhere. I'm a lover. You guys, I'm a lover. I'm not a fighter. What am I doing? There's nobody said I thought I could sign up for being a lover. You know what I mean? Instead, all they gave me was fighter. But I'm a lover.

00:19:52

JPC

I just want to say when you know, I know that I don't know a lot of spells and I know that, you know, our cleric here really only knows hot pizza. But when you came to the group and you said that you were a fighter, I thought that that meant you would have some sort of like martial prowess, not that you were just going through like a really tough divorce. And Jill, we support you, don't we, Roger? Don't we, Roger? Fighting can be internal conflict. of the podcast.

00:20:53

Erin

Round two. Animal played by George Clooney in the 2009 Wes Anderson hit. Fantastic Mr. Fox. Fox, yes. Band who wants to know if you come from the land down under. Men at work. Men at work, sorry. Did not realize that was not over.

Adal

These are all Michael J's.

Erin

No. Heavy-duty vehicle whose name is based on the Greek word trokos.

Adal

Jeep. Hummer. Tank. Heavy-duty vehicle.

Erin

Trokos? A truck?

Janet

Tractor. A truck, yes. The worst thing that a cockroach could possibly start doing.

Erin

Making me dinner.

Adal

Dating your sister?

Erin

What did everyone say? Everyone said something weird and it was all at the same time. Go one by one, please. JPC, we're starting with you. What did you say?

00:21:54

JPC

I said dating your sister. I don't know what else.

Erin

Janet? I said making me dinner. And JPC, what did you actually say?

Adal

Making your sister dinner. I think I said methamphetamines.

Erin

Yeah, I think you did too.

Adal

What an open-ended question.

Janet

You think a cockroach doing meth is worse than a cockroach doing fentanyl? Come on.

Erin

I'd like to see a scene. Use your brain!

JPC

Yeah, I guess so.

Erin

Use your brain! No, we promised on the show we would never have to do that. My apologies. Adal, you are meeting up to have dinner with your sister Janet, and she's introducing you to her new boyfriend, JPC, played by a cockroach. Or a cockroach.

Adal

JPC played by a cockroach?

Erin

I didn't mean to say that. No, I did not mean to say that. JPC is a cockroach in it.

JPC

Wow, okay, so we're saying a bunch of stuff we mean.

Erin

It was a slip, it was a slip, it was a slip, it was a slip.

Adal

I think overall, just in general, if we were to zoom out, I think JPC is sort of like Vincent D'Onofrio in The First Men in Black.

00:23:01

Janet

He is definitely a bug alien stuffed uncomfortably into JPC's skin.

Erin

And JPC's not wearing his headphones so he can't hear this. You're meeting her new boyfriend who is a cockroach.

Janet

Alan, I am so excited that you are finally going to meet my sweetie.

Adal

Oh, I most I'm so I one happy birthday. Thank you for inviting me.

Janet

And happy birthday to you twin.

Adal

Thank you so much. We finish each other's sentences. We we just I just wanted to talk just very briefly before he gets here. Just the last I feel like the last couple Guys you've introduced to me I just have not been wildly impressed with and I think the world of you and you deserve the world so I just want to get that out there I just want to clear the air.

Janet

Is this a bad time to tell you that he's already sitting here he's just ducked under the table for a moment?

Adal

Oh is he?

Janet

Rich you can come out now!

00:24:02

JPC

Alan, this is Rich. Rich, this is my twin brother, Alan. I'm

Adal

I'm sorry? What? CeraVe. Am I saying it wrong? I guess I've only seen it written. CeraVe?

Janet

Actually, you know what? I've never thought about it. You're saying it and I realize I've never heard it said out loud.

Erin

Sorry, you keep saying my name over and over again. I'm CeraVe.

Janet

Your name is CeraVe?

Erin

Yeah, sorry, I'm just at the next table. Oh, I thought he was just mispronouncing the word server. Saravay?

Janet

Saravay, we're ready to order.

Adal

Well, I did just come back from the South of France.

00:25:02

Erin

Yes, and I'm the server. What do you need?

Adal

Can we get, um, my sister and I... Saravay, what are you doing up from the table?

Erin

I'm sorry, this guy just kept saying my name over and over again.

JPC

We'll go back to your seat, Saravay. Saravay? Are you following me? I'm so sorry, this is my ex.

Erin

Oh my god, are you fucking serious? You're dating already? You know each other?

JPC

This is- we agreed when we broke up, I get the restaurant, okay?

Erin

Yeah, this guy gives me the best sex of my life, and then he ghosts me.

Janet

I can't- you- you- Rich, you suggested this restaurant. You didn't realize that there was a chance that we were gonna run into either the server or her twin sister who's eating here named Saravay?

JPC

Yeah, well, look, uh, Sarah Vey and Beverly Vey, uh, I, you know, I'm not gonna stop coming to my favorite restaurant just because I, you know, I broke up with you to briefly date your sister Beverly Vey and then broke up with her so I could start my relationship with Alan's sister.

Janet

I mean, you told me I had a thing for twins, but I didn't realize, like, that extended to just a girl who has a fraternal twin brother.

00:26:07

JPC

Well, that is closed-minded of you. We'll be right back with your food.

Erin

We won't spit in it, I bet. We'll be back.

JPC

Yeah, they're gonna spit in it. Luckily, that's also how I eat my food, I think.

Janet

How did we meet? Is that, did I hear you ask that just to get the conversation back on track? 20 minutes ago. I'm leaving.

Adal

I'm putting on my coat and my hat and I went double. Scene.

Janet

Fun. Somehow just describing putting on your coat and your hat in that context, even though I have fully seen you with a coat and a hat, I've seen you with a hat many times, just the way you said that made it suddenly be like a Jimmy Stewart movie. It was like the 1950s. You were putting on like a derby.

Adal

Do you ever see Harvey, the movie Harvey, where his twin sister's dating the cockroach?

Janet

I could never watch it because it upset me too much. My dad tried to show me Harvey when I was little and I was like, nobody believes him and I was crying so hard he had to stop it and I've never gone back. Is it great?

Adal

Janet, you maybe have the purest heart of any mortal. That is incredible.

00:27:12

Erin

I know that you guys will not believe this when I tell you but we were in the middle of something.

Adal

We have Fox, Work, and Truck.

Janet

And Fox, Work, Truck, and... Oh, the cockroach thing. Yes. What's the worst thing a cockroach could do?

Adal

Lay eggs?

Janet

No.

Adal

No.

Erin

Survive? Start eating your food. I'm not necessarily sure that this is the worst thing it could do, but it definitely would be a fly.

Janet

It sucks when they start flying. Yeah, you don't want, they shouldn't deserve to fly on top of everything else.

Adal

Did I tell you about my honeymoon? Where, okay, never mind. In the hotel was a cockroach and I got a cup and I was about to put the cup over the cockroach and it flew 50 miles an hour upward directly into my face and I screamed like a horse.

Janet

Like a horse.

Adal

Of course, of course. Jenna has video of it somewhere. I'll post it with this episode.

Erin

I would love that.

JPC

I did watch three lizards eat a cockroach as the cockroach tried to fly away and the lizards jumped on it, like grabbed it out of the air, pulled it down, and then proceeded to eat it.

00:28:14

Janet

Grabbed it out of the air? That's exciting.

Erin

I'm ready for another biblical flood. I think we should start over. I'm sort of done with a lot of the stuff that's here. We're

JPC

Hand truck, hand fly, hand work, work hand.

Janet

So far, the Michael J. Fox thing is kind of fun because it's like Marty McFly drives a truck. He works hard in the movie Back to the Future and his name is Michael J. Fox.

JPC

These are all types of school that you can have.

Erin

Adding another word to it was on the right track. Is it does it go before or after each word?

00:29:32

JPC

I would say the work and truck are maybe gonna be the most helpful I don't know it's hard when you know the answer to know what would be helpful but some a word that could go before work and truck Pick up fox.

Erin

Pick up work.

JPC

Handy truck. Handy work.

Erin

Handy... Specific kind of truck. Dump truck. Dump fox. It's not really a specific kind of work.

Adal

Janet, I just want to say I'm so sorry that you had to dump that fox. It was no good for you.

JPC

Pick up work. Pick up fox. Pick up fox? No.

Erin

You said that to me.

JPC

Okay, hold on. I want to see.

Erin

I do want to see a scene.

JPC

I gotta see a scene. So Adal, your name is the Pickup Fox, and you're teaching us a class of very, very new-to-dating people how to be a pickup fox.

00:30:33

Adal

Hey everyone, thanks for coming to my workshop. It flips a coin in the air, catches it with my hand. I am the Pickup Fox and I'm going to teach you all about the fox game. Now here's what you do. Pencils out, notepads ready. When you see someone you went to date or take home or kiss, what you do is you fox-neg them. What this means is you raise your heckles, okay? You make your fur kind of stand on end and become coarse and you start to growl. Now let me hear some growls.

Janet

That's how I hear someone howling. I hear someone howling.

Adal

What did he say?

Janet

He said growl. I was writing.

Adal

You two, front of the class.

Janet

Whatever, he's so hot. What? I didn't do anything.

Adal

You two, front of the class right now. Thank you so much. Slips my phone number in my mouth and eats it. You'll never get this. You two I just called up here. Let's say a person who wasn't howling. What's your name? Who wasn't howling?

00:31:38

Janet

Oh, I was growling. Yeah, I was growling. What's your name? My name's Vicky.

Adal

Vicky, so nice to meet you, beautiful. And what was your name, Howl? My name's Ronnie Pianos. Beautiful, kisses your hand. Ronnie Pianos and Vicky, you're gonna do a scene. Vicky, you notice Ronnie playing piano and you just have to talk to him. Here we go, action.

Janet

Hey, I noticed you're playing piano and I just had to talk to you. Thanks for watching!

Adal

Who told you that? Have you taken this class before? Who told you that?

Erin

No, no, I'm just sort of connecting the dots together. Do I have everyone's NDA?

Adal

Why is this information out there? I'm ruined. I'm ruined.

Erin

You had us sign our own NDAs and then we hate them. Scene. Okay. This is a specific kind of truck, but I would not say this is a specific kind of work in the way that you're thinking about work. The word that gets added to the front of work makes it not work. It makes it a totally different thing. Home truck. Homework.

00:32:52

Adal

Did you take out the car? This is a home truck.

Erin

Homework is sort of a kind of work, and this is not. When you add the word to the front of work, it's not any sort of labor.

Janet

That's its own single individual riddle. That's one more riddle tucked inside a riddle.

JPC

When you say a certain kind of truck, Erin, is this going to be like a certain brand of truck? Is this like Dodge?

Janet

Hand truck. Hand work. Hand fop.

Adal

Toe Fox. Okay. Toe Fox.

Erin

I'm grateful that these trucks exist.

Adal

During Thanksgiving with you, Erin, I had a slice of toeworkie. Moving truck.

Erin

No.

Adal

Moving fun.

Erin

Come on. Trucks that you're like, thank God.

Adal

Box trucks.

Erin

Semi trucks.

Adal

Because a lot of... Trucks that we're like, thank God?

Erin

Yeah, they have a purpose for our society. They serve us well.

Adal

Snow truck. Food truck. What is a fire truck? Fire truck, firework, firefly. What is a fire hand, Erin? Answer for your crimes! Can we take a break and weep?

00:34:18

Erin

Yes, we're taking a break so I don't have to answer for my crimes. Adal, go go go go go!

JPC

Hey Adal, hey Erin, I got a bone to pick with the two of you.

Adal

What's up?

JPC

You know how I told you guys that I wanted to learn a new language? And you two absolute jokers-shamokers sent me to a farm to talk to a pig who could speak? English, I think, was what was going on with Erin. He's going for Babel.

Erin

No, we told you to go to Babel. The best way to learn a language? Immersion, JPC.

Adal

Not living on a farm. You have to live where the language is spoken and use it every day.

JPC

But if that's not in the cards this year, because you have a baby, you have to speak baby language, you can still learn a language. The second best way, and that's with Babel.

Erin

It's a science-backed language learning app that actually works, so you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for private tutors or waste hours on apps that don't really help you speak the language. It's just quick 10-minute lessons that are handcrafted by over 200 language experts to help you start speaking a new language in as little as three weeks. Okay, so that's really much better.

00:35:31

Adal

It says that Babbel's designed by real people for real conversations, and I gotta be honest, I talked to that pig for a lot longer than that and he had some pretty generous way to say this outdated ideas. Well, unlike that pig, Babbel's tips and tools are approachable, accessible, rooted in real-life situations, and delivered with conversation-based teaching, so you're ready to practice what you've learned in the real world.

JPC

I'm going to France this year and I'm downloading Babbel so I can order at restaurants and say hello to people and thank people after I buy all of their antiques from their stores. And I'm finally going to talk to my dad. Salaam alaikum father, habibi, mubsoot, hundala.

Erin

Babbel has over 16 million subscriptions sold, plus all of Babbel's 14 award-winning language courses are backed by their 20-day money-back guarantee.

JPC

Oh, and I gave the pig my email and he is sending me a lot of emails. Is he sending some email?

Adal

Is that what he's sending?

JPC

Yep.

Adal

Yep. Here's a special limited time deal for our listeners. Right now, get 55% off your Babbel subscription, but only for our listeners at babbel.com slash riddle.

Erin

Squarespace.com. Cracks knuckles. Um, yeah, are you just logging into your Squarespace?

Adal

Yeah, I'm logging in, but- I thought you were a hacker. I'm logging in like a 90s TV hacker. Let me slam on my keyboard a bunch. I'm in. Okay, it's not your keyboard.

JPC

It's my keyboard, and you're really damaging it with your slams. Takes a big swig of energy drink. I'm in. Oh, Adal, I feel like anyone can use Squarespace. It's a tool that makes it easy to create a beautiful website, engage your audience, and sell anything from products to content to time all in one place, all on your terms. Yeah.

You just, you hit backspace a bunch of times. Looks like you maybe deleted some of the merch. Slammed backspace. Adal, Squarespace has an online store where you can sell your products, whether you sell physical, digital, or service products.

00:38:04

Adal

Squarespace has the tools you need to start selling online.

Erin

You don't need to hack into anything for that.

Adal

Oh yeah?

Erin

Rolls eyes, picks up a copy of... Oh, that looked painful! Yeah, they're stuck, they're stuck. I'm in. Jeez! I'm in.

Adal

I mean, I can see you trying to hack into this, but you can just host video content and organize your video library to showcase your content on beautiful video pages and sell access to your videos with member areas. You don't have to hack anything. You just, you don't have to.

???

Give me the keyboard.

Points to a copy of Isaac Asimov's complete works. I'm in. No, no, and Adal, these energy drinks you're drinking, it looks like they all expired in 1994. Oh look. You've been drinking these?

Erin

And we're back, and Erin is still on trial.

JPC

No, you promised!

Erin

The break erases my sins.

JPC

The break erases any sort of anger and sins. It's a complete emotional reset for the podcast. Sorry, we have to find her not guilty.

Janet

This NDA is airtight. It's been eaten by a fox, so we can't get to it. Oh, it's been eaten by a fox. Case dismissed. And Diana?

00:40:14

???

Take another break. Is it too soon to take another break?

Erin

Let's take another break, and here we go!

JPC

And we're back!

Erin

And everyone has forgiven each other, right? I hope so. I hope Casey played the Stings twice. I think he did. I think he probably did. Should we try to do it again?

JPC

And we're gonna go on a break.

Erin

And we're back from the break.

???

Thanks, Casey. No. You're bad with power.

Erin

You're bad with power. I am not. We're taking a break. No.

Janet

And we're back from the break. I love being old man puzzling again. Why am I out of breath?

JPC

What are you guys doing on your breaks? I am exhausted. Too many breaks.

Adal

I'm playing a little fire hand for myself.

Erin

No, Erin, do riddles. No more breaks. You have to do riddles.

???

Erin, please, we'll do riddles.

00:41:15

Adal

Not guilty.

Erin

Your honor, not guilty. Thank you. Let's take a quick break. Goodbye. Oh god. And we're back from the break. Okay, round three. This one's gonna be pretty hard.

Janet

I'll be surprised. I think through deductive reasoning, you could probably get it, but... I don't think that this is necessarily easy. I don't remember deductive reasoning being part of the puzzles, riddles, and lateral thinking list.

JPC

We'll go back and add that to every episode.

Janet

Also, product idea, deductive seasoning.

Erin

What do we think?

JPC

And it's for seasoning duck for you vegans out there.

Adal

Deductive seasoning. Eat like a duck-tective.

Erin

Is that a Jason Alexander cartoon, right?

JPC

And we're going out, and I'm just kidding. I love it. I love having this much power.

Janet

This episode's already ten minutes longer because of all the five-second interstitials we've added into it. I'm starting to worry that JPC's just gonna leave abruptly. I hope not. At some point I might just walk out. This is the easiest paycheck Casey's ever had. If that happens, that's the only reason why. Okay, round four.

00:42:29

Erin

Three.

JPC

Round three deductive. Can we skip to four?

Erin

We said we did round three during the break. Yes. During one of those breaks. A nickname for the bathroom that originates from the creator of flushing of the flushing toilet. I didn't know a nickname for the yes. Yeah, John flushing. These are Beatles. 2011 film starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost featuring Seth Rogen as an alien who escaped Area 51. I'm

00:43:40

Adal

What you would call someone who's devoutly religious almost to a snobby level?

Erin

Annoying. Sucker. Indoctrinated. No. Okay. Pious.

Janet

Pious.

Erin

Pious. Now what the Pope? The Pope? The Pious?

Adal

Pope Laringo. I would like to see a scene. See the little ponchos.

Erin

Poncho Urban. Poncho Urban is holy shit that's the best name ever. Poncho Urban. The three of you are all popes and you are all meeting together to sort of discuss. How there were three popes. Yes, how there- Yeah, maybe- JPC, you're the current pope, and then Janet and Al, you were previous popes.

Adal

And you're looking for their counsel. Previous popes.

Janet

Do they- Don't they just die? And then that's when they retire?

Adal

Sometimes they retire. They can choose to retire.

???

Okay, well I died, I'm a ghost.

Janet

Don't they just die? Hey guys, how are you? Hey popes, don't they just die? Hey guys, what's going on in the land of the living?

00:44:44

Adal

Here I am in ghost form.

JPC

Wanna hear how everybody's doing being a pope and not being a pope. I, uh... Oh, go ahead, please.

Adal

No, I wanted to summon the former popes, even the spirits of the former popes, because I have such a hard decision to make. Must be nice to be the Italian pope.

Janet

You can do the accent and everything. I was the Argentinian pope, and of course, I can't do the voice. Well, I also was Italian, but everyone knows when you turn into a ghost, you just have an American accent, so... Whoa. That's one of the first things that goes when your body dies, is your accent.

JPC

I'm really looking forward to that. I'm really looking forward to that. I am too. I'm looking forward to that too.

???

For you.

JPC

So my question for the two of you who are the most recently deceased Popes. Is it cool if I just stop being a Pope? I don't actually know that too many people are like, even aware of the Pope anymore. So it feels like kind of like the perfect like, this is like a Bitcoin in like 2010.

Janet

Like this is like the perfect time to kind of like, get out of being a Pope. Friend, I gotta tell you something, this is gonna be really bad news for you because you're not real plugged into the to the world of the internet. But right now, you've never been more popular. People are making AI art about you that makes you look like a gangster, like a cool

00:46:03

Adal

Heroic gangster. Am I right, Leo? Yep. Stussy, if you know the clothes brand Stussy has a lot of Pope hoodies.

Janet

It's like Pope doing sort of like the cross like the 1990s hip sort of crossing the arms with fingers kind of move. People say that when you make a bold, brave move that cuts away from status quo, they're like, oh man, you just poked.

Adal

So you're like, in, guy.

JPC

You're a verb now. Pope is a verb. Also, did you think 2010 was the best time to sell Bitcoin?

Adal

No, to get in!

JPC

To get into the Bitcoin.

???

I see.

JPC

I'm sorry, I misheard, I misheard. Not to sell!

Janet

That's why I retired, is because my hearing is going.

JPC

You died.

Janet

I mean, let's be honest. Oh no, you didn't know. That's, we gotta tell you something. You've been walking around telling people you're retired. You are not, you are no longer living, my friend. You thinking you couldn't do the Argentinian accent, it's a bit of taken from you.

JPC

It's been taken, that's why, that's why none of us could hear it in your voice. That's why, that's why none of us could hear it.

00:47:06

Janet

You've been talking just kind of regular the whole time and we, oh my god. I know what this means. Did I just?

Adal

Oh no.

Janet

Oh buddy.

Adal

Come on.

Janet

Unbelievable. Fun. Incredible neck muscles. There really is a lot of AI art about the Pope right now. It's extraordinary.

???

It's extraordinary.

Erin

It's extraordinary. It's simply extraordinary. Here we go. They can be great white or hammerheads, but can suffocate if they stop moving. An animal, and we learned this already so nobody freak out, we already gave you this terrible news maybe 100 to 200 episodes ago, an animal that can orgasm for up to 90 minutes.

Janet

I don't want to think about it.

Adal

I don't think it's fair to bring that back up. I'm really sorry. I don't think it's kosher to bring it back up.

00:48:10

Erin

I know it's not kosher to bring it back up. Let's take a quick break and Casey, plug in that pig orgasm sound for the next hour. No, no, no, no. I have old man puzzles.

JPC

She's in charge. No, just play the pig orgasm sound without going to break.

Janet

Can we at least talk over it? That's all folks, or is it? Are we talking over it right now? Please tell me we're talking over it. Please tell me we're doing something, something to cut through the noise. Teacher can be fun. Let's all try and match its tone.

JPC

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I love the idea that the pig orgasm is like a vocal orgasm for the full 90 minutes.

Erin

The full 90 minutes is it going... I like to think that the pig's orgasming and it's like, I'm up here.

Janet

You're here, we're here. I hate that.

???

I actually hate that so much.

Erin

So far we have sharks and pigs, so we know it's probably going to be professional sports teams.

00:49:10

Adal

The Species of a Famous Italian Children's Character, Geronimo Stilton. Thanks for watching.

Janet

Ring-tailed lemur. Squirrel. No, close to rat.

JPC

What's the animal that's close to rat?

Janet

Mouse.

JPC

Guinea pig.

Janet

Mouse. Yes, a mouse.

JPC

Didn't we say mouse a long time ago? I don't think so. Or was the pig orgasm so loud no one could hear it? Pig orgasm is... Casey, Casey, can you audio EQ the pig orgasm?

Erin

Can you bring the pig orgasm down and me up? I need to hear myself. I'm hearing the pig orgasm in my head.

JPC

Yeah, I'm getting a lot of, like, bleed through other people's headphones into their microphones of the pig orgasm.

00:50:13

Erin

Do you have the capability to put pig orgasm in my headphones? Because why am I hearing it all of a sudden in my headphones? Wait, I took off my headphones and I'm still hearing it. Casey, how are you doing this?

Adal

Still hearing it.

Erin

Creature used as a symbol for Hufflepuff and Hogwarts.

Adal

That's a badger. Badger? Shark?

Erin

What do these all have in common? Mouse?

???

I know.

Adal

These are all games from West Side Story. Adal, do you want to see if anyone else can get it? I'm going to give a hint. Janet, okay wait, no. JPC, I'm gonna give you the first one.

JPC

Janet, I'm gonna give you the second one. I'm gonna give Erin the third and I'll take the fourth. These are all... I got it too, so do I have to give Janet a hint now? Is this how this fucking works?

Erin

These are all characters that have appeared, animal characters that have appeared on Magic Tavern.

JPC

That are played by... Again, I have to stop you there because I never played a shark. Yes you did.

00:51:14

Adal

No, I played a person who was married to a shark. My name was Louis A. Shark, and her name was Lois A. Shark.

JPC

But you did play half a fish. You played half a fish man? Fish horse, a fin tar. That's not the same. I played a fin tar. If fin tar was one of the answers to this riddle, then it would be people we played on Magic Tavern.

Janet

Somebody better clean the fucking gunk out of their goddamn ears and go back and listen to that episode from very early on in the podcast.

JPC

And I don't want to put too fine a point on it, but Ross, I think you're the person with the gunk in your ears in the thing that JPC was suggesting. You have gunk in your ears. I was positing that maybe perhaps you had gunk in your ears, and you can choose to see that as a negative, or you can choose to see that as a guy you never even fucking met you saving your life. Because you're gonna go to the Minute Clinic, you're gonna say, do I have gunk in my ears? They're gonna go, oh my god, yes, you actually had a dangerous level of gunk in your ears.

Adal

You actually haven't been hearing shit, right, since like 2018 when that fucking podcast episode came out. And I just saved your life, Ross.

00:52:24

JPC

Erin, why are you fanning yourself? Your cheeks are flushed. Let's not even joke about me being horny about it.

Janet

If a pig can hear it for 90 minutes, y'all can hear it for the last 15 minutes of this episode, okay?

JPC

That's not up for debate. I'm dying! I hate it! I hate it! Casey, listen to me. I'm your boss. Make this episode two and a half hours long.

Adal

At the hour mark, our episode ends, and then I want you to put a 90-minute chunk of pig orgasm in at the end.

Erin

So many people are gonna be like, ooh, a two and a half hour episode of Hey Riddle Riddle. This must be something special. What a treat. Whoa, and Janet's there? A really special episode. I can't wait. Here's my issue with that. Normally, maybe a hundred episodes ago, I'd go, Casey, of course, a 90 minutes of a big workout to the end of the episode. Of course, of course. You've really matured. Thank you. Thank you. But I also think my level of self-awareness, I have this overwhelming feeling that people are about to hit their wall with us. I think a lot of patience and goodwill are about to run out, and I think we're on the thinnest device, and I think that us in 2019-2020 maybe could have gotten away with a 90-minute pig orgasm.

00:53:33

Janet

I don't think we have the goodwill for that, and I want to respect our listeners enough to know that we can't do that. What a beautiful speech. I hope there was a pig orgasm playing underneath that speech.

Erin

Erin, look around you, this is the snowpiercer train. It's been autotuned so that it's playing the national anthem, but it's an autotuned pig orgasm.

JPC

You just added two hours of work to Casey. I hope you're happy, Janet. I think the biggest problem that Casey's probably gonna bring up in the edit on this episode is that there is no open source pig orgasm. Like, sure, there's plenty of YouTube videos of pig orgasms. So Casey's gonna need to make a pig orgasm.

Janet

Yeah, Casey, we do a lot of work with talking on the podcast. Why don't you just make a 30-second pig orgasm sound and loop it, Casey? We'll know if it's looped. This podcast is about altruism. It's about altruism for humanity.

Erin

And if there isn't an open source pig orgasm out there, then Casey, that's what your responsibility is.

JPC

It's making me nervous that we don't see Casey typing. Casey's typing into a different browser, pig orgasm, open source, not royalty free pig orgasm, 90 minute minimum.

00:54:39

Erin

I'm not reading what he said.

Adal

I'm not reading what he said. Oh my god. I'll read it.

Erin

Here's what I'll say. I'll read it because it is very funny. Casey wrote, fingers busy jacking this pig off. And let's go on a break. That's me clapping.

JPC

And we're back from that break.

Erin

I hope, I hope anyone came back.

???

I doubt it. I doubt it.

Adal

Well, I can tell you who came back is the pig. No. Okay, we're going on another break. Alright. Hey everybody, we're back and I want to give a big shout out to our new audio editor. Please welcome Doreen. Doreen, say hi.

Erin

Alright, Doreen's dead. Take a break, take a break.

JPC

And we're back from the final break. We're so sorry. Okay, here we go. Our old audio editor is back.

Erin

Please welcome to the show, our editor for the longest time, Piggy Jerky. I mean Daisy Pony. Hold on. Damn it.

00:55:43

JPC

Oh, I hate this. I hate this.

Erin

It was the Barbra Streisand effect. I was trying to glaze over the pig orgasm. Don't say glaze! Glazed ham? Come on. And then I drew more attention to it.

Janet

Oh, I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.

Adal

I hate thinking about how we eat pigs and also they can orgasm.

Erin

Well, you don't have to eat pigs. That's the good news. You would deny a pig? Pleasure, Erin? Disgusting. Guys, actually, I am gonna start gagging. I felt that.

???

I felt my gag reflex sort of turn on.

Erin

Oh, no. You guys, did I tell you I'm having a thing? I'm having a psychosomatic thing where I'm throwing up all of the time out of nowhere without even being nauseous. Isn't that crazy? I've gone to like three different doctors about it and they think it's psychosomatic because there's no lead up to it and there's no warning for it.

Adal

So I am so excited to have you over to my home on Thursday night.

Erin

I'm hanging out with Janet on Thursday. Hope you have hardwood floors. We got a lot to talk about. It's worse during the day.

00:56:45

JPC

It's worse in the mornings, not usually at night.

Erin

But isn't that crazy?

JPC

I've just been talking to people and then I've had to run over to a trash can. Erin, what the fuck?

Adal

Um, but I, no, I still, I use that when I have enough warning, um, but I often don't have enough warning time, so I've thrown up into the sink, I've thrown up into a cup. What's up? Uh, one, I just want to say I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Erin

Two, right now, right now, can you tell us, for the rest of this episode, can you tell us which words we can't say? That will, that will sort of... Uh, pig.

???

Orgasm.

JPC

Pigs deserve to orgasm. Pleasure. Glaze. Erin!

Erin

I don't know what kind of doctors you've been going to as well. But we can still think pigs deserve to orgasm, even though we can't say pigs deserve to orgasm. We can't vocalize it.

00:57:49

JPC

Silent opinions from now on, everybody. And I can still eat some pleasure glaze, right? No, stop, stop. I don't know what doctor you have been to recently, and I'm glad that you're getting these other opinions. Is it possible that you body swapped with my dog? Like, is it possible? Oh, yeah, maybe.

Erin

Because the problem that you're describing is a very, it feels like spaghetti-centric problem.

Janet

I have been screaming at my mailman.

Erin

This is actually really helpful because I had an orgasm for like 90 minutes the other day, and now I'm starting to think I body swapped with a baby. What are we doing?

Adal

What is this? Puzzles, riddles, puzzles, lateral thinking.

JPC

Also, Erin of course went to Dr. Prodigy.

Erin

That's the only band I can think of that sings. This isn't a Patreon episode? What the fuck? Uh oh! Isn't it so crazy? I went to like doctor doctors and then I did that thing where they put a tube down your throat and they're like, maybe it's acid reflux. Maybe it's all these other things. It was none of those things. And then I went to my therapist and I was like, they're telling me that it's psychosomatic.

00:58:53

Janet

And she was like, I actually have no idea what this could be. And so I had to go to a different therapist. I'm not sure about the psychosomatic thing. I'm worried that that's like the vestigial like tale of women I hope we get to the Pirates of Penzance.

Erin

I hope we get to it. I don't hope. I don't care.

JPC

We don't have to.

00:59:53

Erin

Um, okay. This is the last one. I don't- I- I- Episode of the last episode?

Janet

They were in the middle, yeah. This is the last one.

???

Sorry everybody. Well if that is the last episode, I feel like we should go on one more break.

JPC

And we're back from break. Last one though. Hey Erin, Erin, do you think that people are looking at their podcast players when this episode drops, see that it's two and a half hours and think, I'm going to skip ahead just to see what happens? What kind of craziness are they getting up to in the last 20 minutes? Yeah. Do you think that there's a person out there that skips forward to the last 90 minutes of the podcast, hears the pig orgasm, and then says, well, I guess I'll go back and figure out what all this is about?

Erin

Or do you think that they just say, no, I'm done with this podcast? James, GBC, I'm sort of firmly on the side of us not adding an extra hour and a half.

JPC

I just don't want to offend any animal animals or animal communities or people who care about animals. Well, here's the thing, Nat, we definitely have to make this a two and a half hour episode. We don't necessarily have to put pig orgasm in it, right?

01:00:59

Adal

We could just put an hour and a half of silence into the episode and have people like search for the pig orgasm. Erin, if it assuages your fears, that you know, we're on thin ice. Oh, assuages. Assuages. Sorry, I'm thinking of what I'm going to eat for the Italian dinner I have later.

Erin

Erin, what if we put the pig orgasm over top of Claire de Lune? I'm listening. What if it just cleared a loon for an hour and a half, and like JBC says, we hide the pig orgasm in there. And if the first person to find the pig orgasm and send a screenshot of it to our Instagram, let's say, Hey Riddle Riddle, we'll get sent a free piece of merch.

Adal

And I do want to say, the free piece of merch is going to be my new children's book, Where Is Pig Orgasm?

Erin

Now, every page there's a pig orgasm hidden.

JPC

Ooh, is that a caveman? And that's a punishment, and then we'll also send you real merch.

Erin

And Erin, I'm looking at the list of words that we can't say.

01:02:00

Janet

Was pig orgasm on there? Yes! Okay, it was.

JPC

A word to describe a surface coated in grease and gunk. Pig Orgasm.

Erin

A word to describe a surface coated in grease and gunk. Dirty. Grimy. Blank. Money. Blank. Problems. A song by Moe Grimey. Name of Rick's son in The Walking Dead.

Adal

Shane.

JPC

Who's what? Name of Rick's son in The Walking Dead.

Erin

He screamed it. I remember season one, he like screamed it in a way. Oh, Walt. No, that's lost. Maybe you'll be able to get this from just getting the last one.

01:03:10

Adal

Singer whose third album was titled, Are You Gonna Go My Way? Lenny Kravitz. Yes, Blank Kravitz. These are all stooges. Grimey, Moe, Lenny, and Curly?

Janet

You're telling me in Walking Dead the guy's named his son Curly? Squiggy.

Erin

Was the last one that we got Krabbits or Lenny? Lenny. Squiggy. Squiggy was not one of them. Lenny. Grimey.

???

Lenny.

Adal

Mo.

Erin

Grimey. And then the Walking Dead one is Carl.

Adal

Oh, these are all Simpsons characters.

Erin

Yes, played by Hank Azaria. Yes. Wow. Good work.

Adal

Thank you so much, Ross, who lives in Ireland. Please come to Ireland. Thank you. I am, Ross. I'm going to Ireland later this year.

Janet

Erin, I'm going to Ireland later this year. When? Uh, end of May.

JPC

Maybe I'll go. Maybe I'll go. Maybe I'm gonna go in May. I'm going. JPC?

Erin

Mid-April. Maybe I'll go in April. Oinkazeria. Oinkazeria. Is that anything?

Adal

Oinkazeria.

Erin

Oh, can we skip plugs and just end the episode? I'm dying. Yeah. Well, let's take a break.

01:04:16

Janet

And we're back from break. Janet, anything to plug? Anything you want us to check out? You know what? Honestly, I don't care about anything in the world right now except getting you well.

JPC

So I'm going to go ahead and plug Erin's health and wellness. Nothing else matters to me. And I'll go ahead and plug the guided meditations that Casey and I did that are still available.

Adal

You can still buy them in our Patreon store, our digital store. And thank you for everyone who has already purchased them. Hell yeah. And I want to plug, of course, Erin getting well, of course, what JPC said, and also the celebration that, Erin, if you look in your mobile app or whatever you look at, we've released all your money into your account.

Erin

Godspeed. It's $17. Yep, that's all the money. Erin, what do you have to plug?

JPC

I got a plug. I don't know. I got nothing. GPC? Listeners, keep listening.

Adal

Keep listening to the end of the episode and you'll realize what we spent all of Erin's money on.

Erin

It was not cheap. Let's title this kid episode.

JPC

Let's say that this is the kid episode. No, no, no, Jupiter. I'm actually done. We're getting the hell out of here.

01:05:33

Janet

Are there any parrots in the music?

???

Hello Hey Riddle Riddle superfans, this is your editor and engineer Casey Toney speaking. I need to come clean on something. The end of the episode that you just heard was false. It was constructed afterwards, in post, at the behest of my employers. I can't bear the weight of guilt that I've held for the past, you know, 25 seconds that the theme has been playing. So I needed to come clean and I am going to play for you the unedited audio of how this recording really ended. I think it's important that you hear it. I think it's important to the very concept of truth that this be part of the public record, this true ending.

01:06:49

Erin

So, here it is.

???

No, no, no, Jupiter.

Janet

I'm actually done. We're getting the hell out of here.

???

No! No, Jupiter, no!

Adal

Casey, please! He got that ready so fast!

Erin

Oh my god, Casey! The best ep. The best ep.

Adal

We'll see you at the potties, everyone! I hate Jesus.

Erin

Dang. I hate this. I'm stopping it.

Adal

It's stopping. It's stopping. Can we go on another break?

???

That might be my favorite episode of the week. I know. I'm not kidding. I'm crying. That was so bad. I think it's some of the hardest I've ever laughed. All right, and there you have it. Um, I also just want to say one last thing that any restraint throughout this episode that I seemingly showed in terms of, uh, you know, additions of other pig orgasm sounds throughout and whatnot, it was restraint at, again, the behest of, of, um, my employers. I would never withhold those choices from you willingly.

01:08:02

JPC

02:34:05

JPC

Hello there, I'm JPC, a certified relaxation expert, and I, with my colleague and doctor of sleep on medicine, Casey Toney, want to introduce you to our series of guided meditations. So if you've ever felt stress, anxiety,

???

Casey, what's going on? Yeah, sorry JPC. Looks like the backing audio crashed.

JPC

It looks like... Huh, that's weird.

???

It's gone. Gone? Do we have another track that we can use?

JPC
