Which Riddle Riddle?

This is a HeadGum Podcast.

With the $5 meal deal at McDonald's, you pick a McDouble or a McChicken, then get a small fry, a small drink, and a four-piece McNuggets. That's a lot of McDonald's for not a lot of money. Price and participation may vary for a limited time only.

Everyone gather around the table, gather around the table. I have prepared a meal. It is in kind of the trappings of my culture.

And this is Indiana culture?

This is Indiana culture, yes. We still have some. We have a little. We have some. We have some there.

GPC, I'm saying this lovingly, there is a live turkey on this table. What's the plan?

Well, that one I couldn't get off. I think the rest of my cooking has kind of attracted it, so we'll be sharing dinner tonight with that. But we are eating all of the trappings and the bounties of my people.

Oh, thank God we're not.

No, we're not going to eat the live turkey. If it gets any bigger, it could be a problem. Thank God. No, we are going to be eating... Race car and soybean.

Yes, race car, big in Indiana. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Indiana grows a lot of soy. Yes, we grow soy.

What else about Indiana? David Letterman.

David Letterman went to Ball State, yes, of course. Reggie Miller. John Cougar Mellencamp as well.

Kurt Conigate was born there. Briefly there, yes.

John Cougar Mellencamp has a museum there. And in the museum there's a letter from his dad he never read or opened.

I didn't make any dinner. I'm sorry, I forgot. I forgot I invited you guys over and I didn't make any dinner.

I brought Colin Mochrie, but what else do we have here?

Wait, what?

What? You say what? Oh, sorry, I just brought improv legend Colin Mochrie. I don't know if that's... Is that okay if he's here, or should I tell him to go away?

Adal, I didn't dress for the occasion.

We should ask, improv legend, is that a title that you endorse? You're like, yeah, improv legend, that should be my title.

Normally no, but I'd say there's two or three people who deserve that title, and I'd say he's on that Mount Rushmore. Mount Rushmore has two or three faces, right? Yeah. Colin, please say hi. This is JPC and Erin.

Hi. I don't like to use too much of my improv legend voice. I tend to just be. Of course. Of course. Enjoy. Enjoy. Thank you for having me. Thanks for doing this.

Colin, this is absolutely surreal. I think a lot of the people on the Zoom are kind of here because of you, so this is an extraordinary honor that you are joining us.

I'm sure all of you in the womb, as your parents were watching Who's Lying, the first incarnation,

I mean, not too far off because, like I said, I grew up in Indiana, and believe it or not, Indiana does not have access to a lot of improv. So I cut my teeth watching Whose Line Is It Anyway episodes, and that's really what was my gateway drug to get into improv when I got into high school. What's cool, Colin, we've all now been performing improv for decades on our own, but I did a show- Decades, sure, okay. I did a show this weekend and someone came up to me from the show and they were very nice and they listened to our show and they said that they started taking improv classes based on hearing our show and hearing people have fun doing improv. And I thought that was very cool. And then I thought about it when you were coming on as a guest and I was like, wow, this is like, that's the circle paying itself forward because I wouldn't have gotten into it without you doing Who's Line Is It Anyway?

It's pretty cool. I mean, one of the things I loved most about Whose Line was it did sort of bring improv into the mainstream and at least gave people an introduction of what it was. So yeah, it's nice. It's lovely when people come up and say, oh yeah, I watched you since I was born, and thank you for inspiring me. And there's some people, it's like, there's no way I'm older than you. You're lying. But it is nice, and I'm glad that Who's Lying kind of had that push. And thank you for keeping it going.

Yeah. What was your exposure to improv?

Well, I was born in the last century, so there really was no improv. There truly was no improv. Jonathan Winters was the only sort of practitioner, and then Robin Williams came along. But up to then, there really was nothing, and it wasn't until I saw a demonstration of theater sports. in Vancouver when I was in theater school where I first saw Improv and thought, oh, this looks like something it'd be fun to do in the weekends.

Which is Viola Spolin's son? I forget his name. Is that right? There's a Canadian guy who started the comedy… Yeah, what is… The guy who started theater sports was actually a British guy in Calgary named Keith Johnstone. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

Yes, that's right. Yeah, so it was Improv and sort of a sporting venue. And I thought, yeah, this is something. Never thinking, well, this will be my career. Because it wasn't a career at that point. Nobody ever said, I'm going to be an improviser when I grow up. Yeah, it was something to do on the couch next to Carson.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Did you ever do Second City Toronto or anything like that?

I was, I was at Second City Toronto. Ryan Stiles and I grew up in Vancouver, and he had been hired for Second City when Expo 86 was in Vancouver. And so because they liked him, they brought him back to do main stage in Toronto, and I moved out a little while later and he called up and said, hey, they need someone for the touring company, you should come audition. So I did. So I got that, and then the person who directed me became my wife. So it was just a full-round life thing, Second City. What's the opposite of grateful? Because we have to expose you to a bunch of riddles.

Riddle Riddle Riddle Riddle Riddle Riddle Riddle Riddle Riddle

Okay, I'm pretty sure this is not a thing from your time on Earth. There was this series of books called Encyclopedia Brown. Yes. Oh yeah. Teenage Detective. So that was kind of, there was that kind of riddle where you had to figure out, oh, no, penguins don't live in the Antarctic. That's why he stole lunch money or whatever the crime was. But yeah, every once in a while, someone would come up with, well, if they saw the sawdust, he'd still be alive. And you go, what? So they kind of obsessed me for maybe two months of my life. And then I forgot about it and lived, had sex, drank, and then yeah, it all worked out. Once you have sex, riddles really come in last. One day, Colin, one day this podcast will bring along our wives, hopefully. You never know, that's the beauty. Improv nerds, man, they go for it.

Have you ever, Colin, have you ever done an escape room before? No.

Again, I've had sex.

It is one of those things I do.

There's a show called Taskmaster, do you know it? Yes.

Oh yeah. It's one of my faves.

Yeah, exactly. And so for me, that's my kind of riddle thing where I hear what the task is and my mind goes, how would I get out of doing this the way they think I would? And still fulfill what the challenge is. Of course.

Oh man, I would love to see you on that show. I feel like your level of mischief would fit very well in the tone of the Taskmaster.

I would feel a little intimidated because both Canadians that have been on it, Juan, went all the way. Oh! Mae Martin and the other one.

Yeah.

Catherine.

We remember the first. We always remember the first. And then the second.

Yeah, so I do love riddles. I do like cryptic crosswords. The guy I tour with, Brad Sherwood, he is a major dick, I guess. He's just constantly throwing riddles. Yeah.

Okay, well, you know, we have some riddles today. I think some of them, it's impossible to say what the difficulty of these are. And I actually won't say what the difficulty of these are because that sets everybody up to fail. But we're just going to start with this one. And this one is a riddle submitted from Neil. Neil says this is an Irish riddle. And by that, I think Neil says that he It doesn't specifically have anything to do with Ireland, but he got it from a book of Irish stories, folklore, and riddles that he had as a kid, and this is the only one that he remembers. So here's the riddle. It's got a little bit of a story element to it.

And again- I'm just saying that was probably one of the worst Christmas presents he ever got.

It's a book of Irish riddles and I have to take it back to the library? What? Why? So there was this old couple sitting on a train, a man smoking a pipe and reading a newspaper and his wife with a small dog in her lap, petting it and talking to it and feeding it little treats. As the journey went on, the train carriage started filling up with smoke from the man's pipe. Eventually, the wife got up, grabbed the pipe from her husband's mouth and yelled, I'm sick of you and your damn pipe and threw the pipe out the train window. The husband angrily turned to his wife, yelled, I'm sick of you and your damn dog. Grabbed the dog from his wife's hands and threw it out of the window. Eventually the train reached its destination and the couple got out and walked to the end of the train. And what did they see coming after the train but the wife's dog? And what did the dog have sticking out of its mouth? And that's, that's the riddle.

Tumor from smoking the pipe.

Is it like a chunk of the wood that he clung to when he was thrown out or something? Like was it... I don't know the height from which he was thrown.

I'm just having an image of a dog clinging to something.

Just all teeth grabbing the back of the train. Dead rabbit? Adal, I love that. I think it's a little more visceral. This is more just like a silly children's story.

I'm so sorry when the man takes a woman's dog and violently whips it out of a train window. You're right. I'm being I'm being grotesque.

I don't think we want to we don't want to emphasize the part about the dog thrown out of the train window because that would be bad.

So the dog's still alive.

Because the dog's running up to the train. So the dog is still alive.

That would make sense. Okay, if he ran up to, yeah.

The treat is still in its mouth from when she was feeding him treats earlier.

Erin, that is a really great guess, and I love that you paid attention to the first line of the riddle when you said the dog was eating treats. It's not a treat that was hanging out of the dog's mouth.

Is it a ticket for the train, like it thought it would encounter an issue boarding the train again?

It was chewing gum. That's when he was thrown out of the train. He blew a bubble that gently lifted him to the ground.

And that's science. Look it up. That's science.

That's for sure some physics in there. I will say- So is a treat important?

The treat is not important. The treat is one of those red herrings that gets thrown in. I will say that the answer to this is like- Dogs love red herrings. Oh yeah. Any herring. Any sort of canned fish a dog will go crazy for. Any oily fish.

I'll say that the answer to this is very- First of all, I feel you're really pumping up Erin to make the rest of us feel bad. And it turns out the treat had nothing to do with this.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, it's- Sounds like him.

It's- it's kind of- Is it a smaller dog that's in his mouth?

Oh, interesting.

Another dog that another husband threw out of the train.

I'd say the answer here is very like divorce papers. You don't have to think too hard about it, and it doesn't have anything to do with the details of what we've heard in the story before. The dog is running up to the train. I'll read this part again.

What's the point of this riddle?

This is what we've been saying, fuck riddles!

So what would be the thing, is there something we learn from this riddle at the end where you go, well, he had a life insurance, and it was always with him.

Is it simply teeth? What's that, Adal? Is it simply teeth? Yes, I mean, kind of, you're so close.

A tongue. Yes, the tongue!

I do want to see a scene to sort of wash the taste out of our mouth.

This is my favorite part of the show is watching guests get filled with a rage of a thousand times.

The Irish have a lot to answer to.

Neil said the Irish riddles are less riddles and more just kind of like a joke that you get to the end and the dog's tongue is hanging out of your mouth. And I think the correct response is like, oh. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, okay. I do want to see a scene.

Adal, what scene would you like to see?

Erin and Colin, you are a married couple. You're on vacation wherever you'd like to be, and you're having sort of an escalating fight in public where you're sort of one-upping each other with acts of anger.

Did you bring the camera?

I would rather not commit any of this to memory if that's okay with you.

That's not really answering my question. Did you bring the camera? I'm just a simple question. All I need is a yes, I got the camera and then we can take some pictures. I don't need some sort of existential thing about, oh, I may have to go and remember everything we're seeing.

Sorry, the cute waiter's coming over. Hi.

Oh, um, I was just coming over to take your drink order and then I heard kind of the conversation. I thought I'd give you a couple minutes. No, we're ready.

Let's get this over with.

I would love a watermelon margarita and my friend here. Friend?

Can I just say she's my wife? Watermelon margarita. I have one of the two drinks. I'm hoping there's a second drink soon.

Oh my god.

Oh, your God. Your God never existed.

Sorry, this is embarrassing. I know, I'm married to a leprechaun and he's great. Just get him a bottle of whatever and he'll be drunk and he'll make a scene.

I stopped growing when I was 12. It happens. We had a big potato. That's all the nutrients I got. Uh, darling, darling woman who I love, give me a pencil. I just want to make a list of all the things I despise about you.

Oh, okay, perfect. You know, when I married him... Waiter, where are you going?

Everybody's grabbing my arm and I have to go get the drink. Okay.

When I married him... Is there a cute waitress that maybe I can get to talk to?

Yes, I would love to go find that for you. I'd love to go find that for you.

When I married him, he had a huge pot of gold. But guess what? He gambled it away. And now, we have nothing. We have my income.

She's a stripper.

I am! I am!

But not the thing you're thinking of. She goes into houses and she strips the paint from the walls. No, I can tell by the smell.

I can tell by the smell that was her job.

That's him. That's his terrible leprechaun cologne.

Hi, I'm Claire. This isn't my table, but I was told you need a waitress. Is there another one?

I have a twin. No, it's all right. You're good. Listen, my wife and I, you seem like a lovely woman. You wouldn't marry someone just because of money, would you?

I'd like to think not, but I guess I'd have to be, I'd have to face the moment, you know.

Nobody looks at my husband like that. You walk away from us. You get away from us. Yes, you.

Oh, okay.

And don't send your twin over here either.

Oh, she died. Oh.

Okay.

I'll go with her if that's okay.

No, no, no, no, you stay.

Come on.

All right, while you were talking, I took pictures of everyone around the tables here looking at me. Some of them with lust in your eyes I've never seen. I haven't seen lust in your eyes since... when was it? The last World Cup. Scene.

I haven't seen Lust in Your Eyes since the last World Cup would be an amazing bumper sticker, sweater.

You can basically end any scene with a tattoo.

I mean, that's fantastic.

That's good improv advice. Every scene you could end with that.

There's a little improv tip for you kids out there. That could be an Ed Sheeran song. Yeah, of course.

Okay, good. Okay, I'm reading the room and saying that we did not like that last riddle because of that it wasn't really a riddle. It was just a Irish joke. So this one, Well, I don't think you're going to feel much differently about it, but this is from Christine.

Wow. I love the way you set it up.

Christine says, do you know how when geese fly in a V formation, one side of the V is usually longer than the other side of the V? Why is that?

Is this an actual fact or this is like a riddle bit or something?

It's kind of akin to the previous riddle that we listened to, which is, it's not really a fact, but there's a simple answer to it that will leave everyone going, I don't know.

There's one less on one side.

Yeah, that's why. There are more geese on the side. Is that it? Yeah. Yeah, Colin got it. I got the gist of this now.

I got it. I had this whole thing that it was sort of like testicles, where one is lower than the other always, but I couldn't think of what the logic was.

I would like to see a scene. The three of you are geese flying south for the winter, and you're all pretty sure that you should be the one to be in front of the triangle.

Well, it's about time to hit the road. Has everybody used the bathroom?

I'm gonna go in the air.

You guys use bathrooms? Oh. Oh, Charles. Yes, we all use the bathroom so that we're not, you know, we're not dirtying the air.

No, I just went by the Paul Revere statue. That's me done.

What, Charles?

You hate Paul Revere. Why do you always go on him? It's a sign of respect. It's a sign of respect.

I know some people think it's good luck.

Uh, before we get too deep into it, yeah, why don't, why don't we, I think, what is it, is it my turn this year to lead us south? I think it's my turn, right? Your turn.

To go south for... For geese, this isn't a democracy. No, no, sure. I've always been the leader. Okay. I'm pretty sure I've always been the leader. First time... I was always in front. Hmm.

Yeah, I guess let's let Charles, let's let Charles lead the V. I guess if we want to end up in fucking Reykjavik. Ah, good point.

You know you have no sense of direction. Already I'm talking to you, you have your back to me.

Alan, you're an idiot. We all know this. Everyone has talked about this since you've joined the flock.

You're a flocking idiot.

And Alan, I have led this, how many years, how many years have I led this? I don't know. Six, seven? Six, seven.

Six, seven years? Six, seven years. Yes. Alright. Okay, um. Fine, you get us started. Hey, let's all get up in the air. Okay. And you get us started, okay?

Okay, great. And we'll go from there. Alright, here we go. I mean, look at these majestic flaps I'm doing. Like, with the minimum of effort. And look how I'm speeding mightily towards the south. Are you guys having trouble keeping up? I'm having a little trouble.

We're in a bit of a U, not really a V, this is more of a U. Hey guys, I hate to complain back here, but are we going to Paul Revere's childhood home right now? I feel like we're going in that direction. Wait a sec, Chuck, are you taking us to Paul Revere?

You are obsessed with Paul Revere.

What is with you?

Paul Revere was a very important part of American history. True, I'm a Canadian goose, but I've always been fascinated by what Americans have done. And Janine, didn't we go to Meryl Streep's place when you asked?

Uh, well yeah, but she's an American treasure and she's still alive. Paul Revere's been dead for hundreds of years, you nerd. Yeah, how much longer?

How much longer has she got, really? I mean, really?

Don't say that!

Wow! Can I just say, between her and us, who's gonna live longer?

Wow, this conversation went south, I'll tell you that much. Hoping Meryl Streep dies? Unbelievable.

I'll just say, I know that Meryl Streep has a vacation home in Naples, Florida that's pretty far south. I could get us there if anyone wanted me to lead.

I would love that.

I'm checking when this comes out, and that message was a little late, but I'm sure it'll come down to a wash.

I'm sure it'll work out. I'm sure all the geese voted.

I'm sure the geese were found out. It was found out the geese voted, and that's been a whole sticking point.

And everybody was pretty chill about that, about some extra geese votes. Everybody was okay with that.

Oh, absolutely. Everyone's fine with anything.

Here's another one. This is a riddle from Isaac. Okay, now we're more we're deeper into more of like I would say this is more of a traditional riddle. Here we go.

Okay, I've always had good luck with Isaacs, so I'm feeling a little more confident here.

Okay, fantastic.

Asimov, the rest of them.

You know, I take Asimov, he wrote the, what, The Sensuous Dirty Old Man. Oh, really? Anyway, there were these sex books in the 70s, The Sensuous Man, The Sensuous Woman, and he wrote a parody called The Sensuous Old Man. Anyway, there's a useless sack for you.

No Riddle involved. I have to check this out. I know Shel Silverstein wrote a lot for Playboy, like wrote a lot of gay limericks and all kinds of stuff.

Yeah, I truly read for the articles. There were really good interviews. No one ever believes you, but it's true.

Hands she has, but does not hold. Teeth she has, but does not bite.

Feet she has, but they are cold. Eyes she has, but without sight.

Who is she?

My grandmother.

Is it Colin's grandma?

You said wistfully out the window.

So she has teeth. She has feet. She has eyes. She has hands but can't hold.

Yes.

A clock has hands.

That's true, it doesn't have teeth though. Is this like Venus freaking De Milo? Is this like Venus freaking De Milo?

She doesn't have arms though.

Yeah, no arms. Did you say arms? She has arms.

I didn't say arms. Let's just assume that she does have arms.

She has hands. It'd be weird to have hands without the arms.

You're the surgeon, alright.

You said her feet were cold too?

She has feet but they're cold. That's my grandmother for sure. Yeah, I don't necessarily... That one is not my favorite of the descriptors because I feel like it kind of- What's your favorite? Oh, that's a great question. Eyes Without Sight. Eyes Without Sight's probably my favorite.

Eyes Without Sight. Potato. Potato.

Potato is definitely there with Eyes Without Sight. It's not Potato. Mr. Potato. Yeah, I wouldn't necessarily even say that these feet are cold. I guess if you- Mrs. Potato. It's not Potato. It's not Potato.

Honestly, Mr. Potato is the perfect answer for this.

It's perfect. He has hands, but he can't really hold anything. You could attach the hands. You could take his legs off, put them in the freezer. They're cold.

Does Mr. Potato have teeth or does he have lips?

Depends on which mouth you put on.

Yeah, that's the whole point.

That's great. That is the whole point. It would work, but the answer's not Mr. Potato, but I guess you're kind of circling the right area with Mr. Potato.

Is this something that you can find in nature?

No. So it's not organic.

It's not organic. It's inorganic.

Inorganic.

Is it like a building of some kind?

No, it's not a building of some kind. Statue of Liberty?

I was never sure of the rules of figuring out the riddle. Yes. Can you say, is it this, is it this, or can you tell me the answer?

You can always say, can you tell me the answer. Anyone's allowed to quit, and then we'll just do the answer. Nothing here is sacred.

Yeah, we quit all the time.

Yeah, we do.

See, the hands, it does seem towards a clock. Ooh, clock is good.

It's not a clock, but this is something that is, I would say, man-made.

JPC, would you mind reading it one more time?

Hands she has, but does not hold.

And those all hold her chins.

Yeah. Yes. Struck your chins like three Sherlocks. Hands she has, but does not hold. Teeth she has, but does not bite. Feet she has, but they are cold. Eyes she has, but without sight. Who is she? I think cold is in there.

And the pronoun is she. Yeah, is she important or is that just a placeholder?

I don't think she is necessarily important. I think that this thing is most commonly- Justice. It is not justice. Is it Lady Justice? I will say it's a physical.

She's blind. She has eyes but doesn't see. It is a physical. She has a hand that holds a scale. JPC. Lady Justice has the ninja turtle thing over her eyes. She's always outside. Her feet must be cold. Is Lady Justice a ninja turtle?

But doesn't Justice bite? This is a physical thing. A man-made thing that's a physical thing. It's not like a concept. It's not something you find in nature. Someone has to make this.

Are eyes like holes? What are the eyes of this?

I guess it could be a lot of different things. They could be holes, I guess. What? It's like Mr. Potato Head. It just depends on what kind of eyes this thing has.

Well, I do want to see this. I'm going to say let's see a scene just to give us a little break from this. That's so smart.

A little buffer. Yeah.

Yeah. We're going to say, JPC, you are a science fiction writer, well regarded. And we'll say, Colin, you are an editor for Playboy. You're trying to encourage the science fiction writer to write something a little more salacious.

OK.

Read the new article.

Yes, it's a pretty good. Yeah, it's one of it's one of my I don't know if it could become something if it's just a short story. I want to live in the space live in the world for a little while.

Yeah. Yeah.

Did you get did you get that the you know, we're from the perspective of the main character? Yeah. And we think he's on an alien world.

But really, yeah, he's not.

He's the alien on our yeah, that's that's what's great.

Yeah, that's the that's the I thought it'd be because he because of that, I thought it'd be more fucking. Hey Riddle What's the point of the story? What's your point of the story?

No, I guess, yeah, it's, it's, I think really the point is, like, you know, maybe things that we don't know are closer to us than we think, and maybe, you know, there's a different perspective of seeing someone else as an alien. You're doodling, you're doodling a little pornographic drawing right now.

Are you, are you listening to... I was just thinking, when you're close to something, what are you doing when you're close to something? You're usually fucking them.

Yeah, no, yeah.

Uh, knock knock. Sorry to interrupt your meeting. My name is Jeff. I'm from the Cincinnati Zoo. I just am here to ask you a few questions, sir.

We're in a kind of a meeting right now.

The Cincinnati Zoo had an investigative unit.

Yeah, we have enough cases that my job is necessary.

Playboy and The Zoo work very closely together in a lot of the fiction that comes across our desk.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

No, I'm actually here to ask you questions. Okay. You, and please stop backing up. I feel like you're grabbing your hat and your coat.

Well, you're going very close towards me and you're using threatening hands.

Well, I just am saying that we hope you do not bite. Well, I feel like we both know why I'm here. We have security cameras down at the zoo, unfortunately for you.

Oh, okay.

Okay, so you sort of have a bundle packed. It seems like you thought this day was coming and you're backing out of the room slowly.

I'm just saying people don't understand.

Are those security cameras, are they standard for all zoos as well?

Oh, I'm going to get to you, sir.

Okay, great. Yeah, so I should stick around.

Oh, geez. Oh, okay. Well, you should write about that. Write about what you know. I've told you this. And we cut to the zoo security footage.

I've told you before, I can't run away with you. I'm a Kodiak bear. I'm stuck here.

Hey, you know what? You know how dangerous this is for me? You're a bear. I don't know if you're going to, like, put out the way I want, if you're going to be tender or just going to, like, savage me. It's kinky, huh?

You never know. Can I run my claws up and down your back, sweetie?

All right, softly, though. I have a writer's meeting tomorrow. Yeah, and let's treat that dick like a picnic. Okay, wait a minute. See, those are the kind of sentences that I don't... Oh no.

Some of the sound bites from this episode are absolutely out of control.

They really are. Erin, could that dick is a picnic be an Ed Sheeran song?

Yes, because I believe in him.

Okay, good.

Phew, phew. Would that then be a dick-nick? Yes. Woo! I think so. Yeah!

Dick-nick. Woo!

Well, I don't feel that scene really helped us solve the riddle.

No. Oh, the riddle.

I forgot we were doing a riddle. Oh, can you, JPC, can we get a tiny hint? Where would you find this thing? Yeah, where would you find this thing?

Okay, so like, I would say like in the same kind of place you would find a Mr. Potato Head, you would also find this as well.

So it's a toy.

A toy, toy, yes. Or in a store.

It is a toy, it is a toy.

It is a toy. A Barbie. Erin! It is a Barbie. It's a doll. Or a doll. A doll, more generally, but a Barbie works, yes. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft.

It's a doll?

Pfft.

It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll?

Pfft.

It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll?

Pfft.

It's a doll?

Pfft. It's a doll? Pfft. It's a doll?

Pfft. It's a doll? P

That's the name of this episode is There Goes My Isaac Streak. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with more infuriating Colin Mochrie. That's insane.

There's been zero days since my last Isaac incident. Hi, come in, come in, come in, come in. Welcome to my Rocket Money party. I'm celebrating the anniversary of when I downloaded Rocket Money and it changed my life and financial health. Come in, come in, come in.

People are really just doing whatever for parties now, huh?

Yes, and guess what? Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel your unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings.

Erin, there's no food, but there's just a ton of bowls and plates with cash on them.

Yeah, because Rocket Money helped me save around $700. This is Riddle Riddle.

What's not cool is that most Americans think they spend about $62 per month on subscriptions, but the real number is closer to $300. No. Wild. Yeah. Wild. No. I am subscribed to something called Yum Yum Yum Online Magazine? That makes sense for you, though. Come on, though. Come on. I'll keep that one. Sorry, I'll keep that one.

RocketMoney has over 5 million users and has saved a total of 500 million in cancelled subscriptions, saving members up to $740 a year when using all of the app's features.

Okay, hold on. RocketMoney has 5 million users and saved 500 million in cancelled subscriptions. So that means it'll save every user a million dollars. No, hold on. Bad math.

That's why you need RocketMoney.

I need RocketMoney for my math.

Everything is color-coded, JPC, and is so satisfying to use and helps me stay so organized. I am so grateful to have it.

Slaps the money out of Adal's mouth as he tries to eat it. Stop wasting money on things you don't use. Cancel your unwanted subscriptions by going to rocketmoney.com slash riddle. That's rocketmoney.com slash riddle, R-I-D-D-L-E, rocketmoney.com slash riddle.

Well, it finally happened. JPC came down to where I work and slapped the cash out of my mouth.

Hit us with that yawn sound.

Oh a wild bird.

Erin, don't yawn, you're gonna make me yawn. I told you you wouldn't like it the way I yawn.

I'm exhausted. I think I gotta go home to my Helix mattress.

Oh, I gotta go home to my Helix mattress. I love my Helix mattress.

And I am home, and I'm on my Helix mattress. It's a Midnight Luxe. It's the best mattress I've ever had in my entire life, and I'm sleeping on it right now, and this is a dream. I have it saved. You're my puppets.

Yes, and.

Oh yeah.

Yes, and. Yes, and.

Gemma and I also have a midnight lux. It's the most comfortable bed we've ever owned. It's the best sleep I've ever gotten in my life. Sometimes when our cats are being rambunctious, we'll pick one of them up, say brisket, we'll put him on the helix sleep. Immediately, he spins around three times, lays down, goes to bed. It soothes all creatures.

I've had my mattress for about three years. It still is as good as it was the first night I slept on it. And anytime I have a guest come and they stay in my room, they always go, what is this mattress? I'm obsessed. Oh, a guest.

Erin, didn't you say that your mattress still sleeps like it's brand spanking new? And didn't you wink when you said spanking?

You were here for that?

This could have been a different conversation.

You're in my dream and you're a puppet and I'm insane and you're insane.

And do we all have Helix Midnight Luxe? Is that the mattress that we all have? I think so. We are all the same sleeper. Whoa. We just sleep at different times. We just sleep at different times. But only one of us can be asleep at any given time. Isn't that true? Isn't that true?

Isn't that true? Isn't that true? And you must remember, remember, remember, remember, remember, it is November, which means there is a November offer right now, 25% off site-wide. You get two free DreamPillows with any mattress purchase. There's also a free bedding bundle. You get two DreamPillows, sheet set, and mattress protector with any Lux or Elite mattress order.

All right.

You're going to bed.

Okay.

You're getting comfy.

HelixSleep. Sleep like a podcaster.

Oh my gosh, did she hit us with one more yawn?

Of course you do.

Okay, let's go ahead.

You two... Sometimes you two do... Erin, he does not have a bone.

You don't have a bone. Oh my god, this is so embarrassing, JPC.

My dad just texted me the music video for Yellow by Coldplay and said, have you seen this?

Isn't that song- How old's your dad? That song's like 20 years old.

My dad is in his late 70s. Yeah, that song's like 20 years old. I think my dad just discovered it.

You know, sometimes it takes a little longer for things to show up on certain playlists.

Are they riddles?

You know, the suspect looked like this.

I think we actually did one of Miltie's riddles on a previous episode, and they are, I would say, pretty good riddles. These are definitely riddles.

This is like, what color is a flamingo at midnight? And it's like, pink? And it's like, yeah, it's pink. It's still pink.

It's still pink. It's a flamingo. It's midnight.

I'm ready.

Okay, here we go. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm hard to see through when you're in my midst. There's quite a bit you might have missed. I set in quickly. I'm never loud. I hide all things within my shroud.

Ah, here we go. Here we go.

Oh, here we go.

Iceberg. Iceberg.

Darkness. Next.

Colin said iceberg and then threw his napkin down on the table and did the little two fingers for the check.

Next. Darkness, silence.

It's not silence and it's not darkness and it's not iceberg. Those are all good guesses, though.

So the hide all things with my veil?

It's, I'm hard to see when you're in my midst, there's quite a bit you might have missed. I set in quickly, I'm never loud, I hide all things within my shroud. Shroud. Fog. Yes, Colin, you got it. It is fog. Also would have accepted mist or a cloud.

But fog is perfectly acceptable. Are there prices that go with this? No.

Yes, we send you a Christmas ham if you answer ten riddles correctly.

Christmas ham. Perfect. Nothing better going through the mail than a Christmas ham.

Yeah, we send it in a manila envelope. It's pretty disgusting by the time it gets to you.

Nice.

We get as much ham as we can fit into one of those flat-rate boxes, because we're only paying the $3.99. But it'll be full of ham. Okay, great job Colin, you have one point. Adal and Erin, still nothing, still nothing on the board.

Nope, I feel good. Also, Erin's father just sent me a Coldplay song.

My skull is thick, I'm not tall, but when I fall, you'll bust your gut. If we butt heads, I'll have you beat. I have no brain, but I have meat. I like this one as well. My skull is thick, but I'm not tall. When I fall, you'll bust your gut.

How do those two things go together? My skull is thick, but I'm not tall.

Don't associate thick skulls with tall people.

Oh, you absolutely should. My skull is thick, I'm not tall, but when I fall, you'll bust your gut. If we butt heads, I'll have you beat. I have no brain, but I have meat.

Everyone's looking at a different direction right now.

A donkey clown. Is it a donkey clown?

That would be so great. Yes, it's a donkey clown.

Yeah, it's a donkey clown. Damn, I really didn't think you guys were going to get to donkey clown on that one.

Kids, gather around. I hired a donkey clown for the birthday.

Yeah, I would like to see a scene. Colin, you are a clown, a donkey clown specifically, that's been hired for a children's birthday party. And Adal, you're the birthday boy. You're just trying to figure out, like, why this is happening.

Um, excuse me, sir. Oh, thank you for the lick.

Are you a piñata or... No, I'm a donkey clown. The only one in existence. Squirt. Sorry, usually most clowns do it with their noses. But you saw, I do things a little differently because I'm a donkey clown.

Oh boy, I guess this is what eight-year-olds have to... How old are you, little boy? Just turning eight today, sir.

Let me give you a kick. Oh, um, I'd rather just like a balloon animal or like a pie in the face or... Well, I don't know if you noticed. Again, I'll mention it. I'm a donkey clown. I can't manipulate balloons to make animals. Of course. But if you'll stick this one in my ass, watch this.

Yes, honey, be nice to the clown. He's my friend Jeff from work. He's just going through a divorce. He needs this. You work with a donkey?

Olympia, I just want to thank you for the work. I really want to expand. I can't work in HR anymore.

And I get that.

You know, so nice to meet you know, I've always Hey Riddle Riddle

Oh, Jeff. Didn't see you there. Nice to see you.

Still doing the old clowning thing, huh? Yes, I'm just waiting for your son to remove the balloon from my ass and then I'll move on to my next trick.

Wait, which one's my dad? Which one's my dad? Which one do I shoot? Mom, which one do I shoot?

Neither. You smile, it's your birthday. Be nice.

Oh, son, I can explain this. This is a donkey clown. I am a clown donkey. We're completely different things.

Oh, you're fooling yourself, Jeff. We've always been the same.

Oh, yeah? If we're the same, then that means you're not the only donkey clown in the world.

Mom, they're circling each other. Don't get in the way.

Son, put a balloon in my ass.

It's been a long time coming.

Put a balloon in my ass. It's a clown-off.

Whoever stays alive will be my husband. Mom, David Attenborough's here. Oh.

Mom.

Let him talk.

Sorry. I have a cold. It's David Attenborough, but I have a cold. Seed.

Seed. Seed. Are we in the middle of a riddle still?

It's the very middle of a riddle. And I will say I don't think you guys are even close because no one's guessed yet.

I forget what the riddle is. Skull thick.

I'm still on fog. Still living that. And you've earned that. Colin, you've earned that. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

Riding high on fog.

I have a skull, but I'm not tall.

I'm not tall. But when I'm tall, you'll bust your gut. If we butt heads, I'll have you beat. I have no brain, but I have meat.

So bust your gut makes me think, is that like crack up, like bust a gut, like you're laughing? Cantaloupe. Erin?

Watermelon. Cantaloupe or watermelon or honeydew, it's some kind of melon.

Can I just say, I love the commitment you shouted that out.

Erin, you are so close. It is not- Watermelon. It is not cantaloupe or honeydew or watermelon or any of that.

Coconut.

It is coconut. Colin got it. Shit. He sniped ya.

I could not have done it without Erin's crazy guess. Colin is crushing us.

Oh, it's a coconut.

I think the operative thing there is I have no brain, but I have meat because coconuts have that sweet sweet coconut.

Coconut meat. Yeah, the old coconut meat.

They got milk, they got meat.

Yeah, they're the perfect food.

Yeah, so close, but still Colin is on the board and you two are not. Here we go.

I'm never gonna win the Christmas ham.

Erin, I want you to be a little more confident.

I'll try, Colin Mochrie. I'll try.

Maybe if there was a Coldplay song you could listen to that inspired you.

I can't wait to re-watch this music video.

The whole thing is that it's in reverse, maybe? Is that that?

Is it?

I think so. I think that's the yellow video.

Yeah, yes. Is that the one on the beach?

Yeah. Yeah, I think he's walking on the beach backwards the whole time.

Cool.

Excited to watch. The trick to that video, Erin, is it looks like they just shot it and then reversed it, but no, he honestly did that whole thing backwards.

Huh.

Yeah.

And that's how he got Gwyneth Paltrow. She was so impressed. So this podcast, it's not only fun, but you learn things.

Yeah.

Usually no. Usually no, I'd say. Sometimes.

I'd say usually it's only fun. Usually it's some of the most fun you could ever have in an afternoon, but today we're learning. Here's your next riddle. Alright, now, Erin and Adal, I think that you guys are going to get this one because I think that we've done this or something similar before, so maybe hold your peace if you know it right away.

Oh, that makes it a little easier for some people.

For them, specifically. It makes it very easy for the two of them.

I'm just saying.

I have a mouth, but cannot speak. I never groan, but sometimes creak. When you leave, I'll make you shiver. I'm not a serpent, but I slither.

A river.

Yes! Wow, Adal and Erin, you both knew that one and you didn't say it? Damn.

I actually did not remember. I did not know it. You told us not to say the answer. What the fuck? I don't know.

That doesn't sound like me. I'm usually pretty nice. Yes, it is a river. Congratulations. I do want to see a quick scene. Erin, you are a snake who thinks that you are a river, and the three of us are other snakes who are trying to get you to come back to kind of reality.

Hey guys, um, Debra's having a moment, so just like, let's indulge her, like, let's, um, let's try and be kind.

Is that the right way to go though? Will this, will this help her in any way? Oh, she's coming, she's coming, she's coming.

Ooh, scary snakes! Hey Debra! I hate snakes, scary, hi!

Hey, what are you, what are you up to this morning?

How's it going girl? Nice to see you on the path. Yeah, some mushrooms. I'm thinking about letting people canoe down me later. What are you guys up to?

What? What? What? What are you talking about? Steve, just canoe down you.

Yeah, I'm a river. You guys are snakes. We're sort of all in nature. We're all sort of... Why are you guys looking at me like that?

Well, what makes you think you're a river?

Look at me.

Steve! I'm looking at you. It's like I'm looking at myself. I see the river there at all.

You know what, Debra? I would love to canoe down you later if that's on offer.

Don't encourage this.

Why?

She's fragile. How is this going to help her?

Look how I'm shaped. Look how I'm shaped. Look how we're all shaped, Debra.

Oh, for God's sake.

Maybe if you were mushrooms like me, you would understand and see the world clearly. I woke up today and I was like, I actually know exactly who I am, and I'm a river. What's your problem?

Yeah, Debra, I just- I'm just saying, look behind you, you just shed your skin. Do rivers have skin?

Is that mine? Oh my god, am I a snake? Oh my god.

No, look, a frog just jumped inside you. You must be a river.

Oh my God.

No, yeah, you're full, you're, look at all the pond scum on you. Do snakes have pond scum?

First of all, I've had many a suicidal frog leap into me. Doesn't make me a river.

You know what? No, Deborah, you know what? I think Steve's a river too. In fact, none of us are snakes and we're all rivers. Steve, she needs this.

Am I on a bad drug trip? You guys would tell me, right?

No. Yeah, of course we would tell you. I'm trying to tell you, but these guys want you to believe you're a river. I'm the one you can believe. For God's sake, Debra. You know me.

You're shaking her by the sh... well, not shoulders. You're shaking her by the... we don't have shoulders.

Riverbend?

The riverbends. Thank you, Debra.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm a river.

Hey sweetie, Debbie. Look into my eyes.

Okay.

Look into my eyes.

Yeah.

Who are you?

I'm a snake.

That's right. Do you want to be a river?

Yeah.

Why?

Snakes are spooky. People are scared of snakes.

Some people are afraid of water. Rivers can be scary to some people. I find you very attractive. You're a very attractive snake.

No, no, no one thinks that. Right, guys?

Everybody thinks that. Everyone talks about how beautiful you are.

Not really my type.

We're dating! Oh God.

I'm not dating a river. I mean, come on, I can't date a river. You guys were supposed to help me break up with her.

You were jumping on the fact she was a river.

You guys were supposed to help me break up with her because I can't date a river. What good are you guys? I've been gaslighting her into being a river all week.

Frog jumps in your mouth.

Oh, come on! These frogs! Something's wrong with these frogs! Can we all talk about the frogs?

Hey, look at that bear over there. It's pretty hot.

Are we in the middle of another riddle? I keep forgetting.

No, you aren't.

No, because Colin came on and is solving them all.

Yeah, sorry.

No, you're great.

We do have a couple riddles left though, so. Okay. If in the sea you want to sink to the darkest depths as black as ink, say hi and wave, unless I've hid, we'll both be happy that you did.

Squid.

Yes, this is squid, Adal. More specifically, someone asked a long time ago, you asked if someone could make a riddle that the answer is a portmanteau of the word riddle. And so the answer to this is technically squiddle, because this is a squid riddle.

I'd like to see a scene. Colin and Adal, you are like deep sea scientists and you're in a submarine. In GPC, you can choose whatever you are, but you're an unusual creature that they run into down there.

Okay, Doctor, we're at 14,000 knots.

Okay, I don't think that's a depth of any kind, but that's a speed, and you're wrong. Okay. Didn't you read the manual? For God's sake, we've got this grant for deep sea scientists, and I feel you're letting us down.

I was on my honeymoon right when we got notification that we got the grant, and I just, I feel so bad, but I feel like I got it. I feel like I got it.

Okay, just don't say nautical stuff. Just let's concentrate on your strength, which is the biological animals that we're about to see. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. They're happy all night. Oh, seahorse. Yes, I see horse. Don't treat me like a child, doctor. No, no, no. I'm just talking. This is the most unusual type of seahorse I've ever seen. It's like an actual horse.

This is so odd, a horse with gills. Doctor, I'm going to go ahead and attempt to grab him with the mechanical arms attached to the submersive. All right. Sort of a, I don't know why the submersive did this, but it sort of set up like a claw machine. So do you have like a quarter or?

Hold on. Let me just... Here's a quarter. Okay. All right. All right. No, to the left. Okay, up. To the left. Am I above him?

Am I above him? And hit the button. Oh, it's got him by the leg. It's got him by the leg. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Okay, you're turning on the horse. It's... Okay, you go. Okay, you go. Oh, wait a minute. It seems to be talking. It's underwater. I can hear him talk underwater. The microphones are on, sir. The ocean mics are on. Did you just see the seahorse? He just went, I mean. And that is the definitive when you're trying to hide something from someone. You say, I mean. So we are turning him on. We're turning up and you're missing the important part is there's a talking seahorse that we've just grabbed. Talking? No, the horse, doctor, the horse just said nuh-uh. See? Who would you believe, a scientist such as me or a seahorse who's telling you he's not talking? Well, how did you get to be a scientist?

I won a raffle at the Ohio State Fair. Really? Yeah, I bought an arm's length of tickets for $15. They pulled my number and I was declared Ohio's finest scientist.

Ohio's finest underwater scientist. There's so many things to unpack there. Horse, can you hear me?

Okay, we have time for one more. Let's do one more of these riddles. Okay. All right. I like this one. If you take me to a picnic lunch, you'll have to take me out a bunch. Leave me alone and I'll be fine, but take me to dinner.

This is the bear from the scene. Oh, sorry. This is the bear from the previous scene. But take me to dinner. This is the dick-nick. This is our dick-nick. But take me to dinner and I'll whine. I think I'm giving up this improv thing and just going into Riddle

I don't know what a Riddle job would be.

You should keep your job.

The public will never forgive us if you quit improv to go into Riddle's full time.

No, I'm telling you. Riddle's. I just found my calling. Please don't do this.

We need you.

Before the break, furious at Riddle's and Isaac's. After the break,

Four riddles solved. Colin, what a turn. What a turn. I think it was my anger at Isaac that just made me... Wasn't there a God thing with Isaac?

So Colin, do you think that you're going to be incorporating riddles into your life more?

Do you think you're going to try more escape rooms, less sex? What's the plan moving forward? Well, I think you could probably, if you actually listen to your question, you can figure it out.

Yeah, I'm hearing it back and I'm thinking, and yeah, okay, and I hear it, and I got it.

Tell Riddle the riddle. Once this show's over, I'm done. You know, I was just being kind because this is your job and your life. But yeah, I'll never have another riddle anywhere near me.

Colin, it is late November, I will say. That's around the time that this is.

Is there anything that you have upcoming that you want to point folks towards or anything that you'd like to plug?

My birthday.

Are you a Scorpio?

No, I'm a Sagittarius.

Oh, even better. Do you know that the Pope's a Sagittarius?

Wow. You know, we were having coffee the other day and I said, he loves hoedowns.

It makes sense. We all love hoedowns.

What am I doing? I do a show with a hypnotist where he hypnotizes audience members and I improvise with them. Oh, wow. So we're in the middle of a tour right now, so I think I'll be in Canada at that point during that, but check hipprov.com, see if we're coming to a town near you.

Wow, that's very cool. What's been your favorite, what has a person been hypnotized to do or to believe they are that's been your favorite so far?

We just hypnotize them to improvise. They become part of our improv troupe. But they truly are just living in the moment. There's no, oh, we'll work towards this ending. This is all they have. There was one I was looking for. I'm a superhero looking for a sidekick. So the hypnotized woman said, I said, what's your power? She said, delayed gratification. So there's a moment also where you think, okay, these people are in a vulnerable state. I don't want to take advantage. So I just said, so say there was a bank robbery happening, what would you do? And she said, I run up to the bank, but I don't go in right away. And I thought it was brilliant.

That's very, that's very… Oh, that's a miracle. So, Hiprov, I assume, H-Y-P… H-Y-P-R-O-V dot com.

Oh man, that sounds outstanding. It's a lot of fun. It's amazing how… to see people improvise when they get out of their way. Yeah. It's that part of the brain that deals with self-criticism is gone, so they just react to everything the hypnotist and I say.

But if you're listening to this podcast, continue paying thousands of dollars for classes.

Don't... Hypnosis seems fine, but the thousands of dollars of classes, that's where it's at. What I love about both, we have hypnotists. People don't believe in hypnotism. We have improv. They don't really believe in that either. So we put these two art forms people don't believe in and put them in one place to save a little time for them.

Erin, do you have anything to plug or promote?

I got nothing. I would say, in celebration for this happening, I was watching some Who's Line best ofs on YouTube and I was laughing my ass off. It holds up in a major way. So check those out. Next time you watch the show, watch carefully.

Brady's wearing an earpiece cause I'm telling him what to say.

A few things. First and foremost, God, I wish my man Colin Mochrie a happy early birthday. And the Pope! I'm a little surprised Erin did not. That did hurt, I gotta say. And then I gotta say, been a huge fan of Whose Line Is It Anyway, Colin's my favorite, unless I'm watching the British version, and then the guy who played Friar Tuck in the Kevin Costner Robin Hood.

Mike McShane.

That guy is my favorite in the British version.

I mean, everybody's, you know, fine. They all have their fan clubs. They're all lovely. They're mostly okay. But yeah, they're all fun to work with.

And the last thing I was going to say was, if there's still time, it's not the end of November yet. If you haven't watched Over the Garden Wall, it's one of my favorite fall things to do is to watch that. So I would say check that out. I believe it's on Hulu perhaps.
