So you see, if I put all the pieces together, who the murderer is is actually quite simple. JPC, where were you when the episode started?

Okay, so, it's not technically jerking off, but what I was doing, it's like pre-jerking off. I was basically taking my hands and doing 30 seconds in the freezer, 30 seconds sitting on them. 30 seconds in the freezer, 30 seconds sitting on them. 30 seconds in the freezer, 30 seconds sitting on them. So that's like three minutes. And then I ran out of time and then I came right here for the episode to start recording. Yeah. These things, I can't feel a fucking thing.

Okay, well then I'm not, I don't think I know who the murderer is actually, if that's what you were doing. So I am going to head out. Good luck solving the murder. Hey Riddle Riddle is a terrible place to be. Jerking off, putting your hands in the freezer. JPC, what did the, what time did you detectively, what did you say?

Oh, so he asked about my method for... Well, that's not technically jerking off. He just asked about my general method for doing things, and so I did my whole thing, 30 seconds in the freezer, 30 seconds sitting on my hands, 30 seconds in the freezer, 30 seconds sitting on your hands, 30 seconds breathing, yeah. Yeah, then he just kind of left. I think he may have been the murderer.

Oh. Oh, it was me, but... Oh, okay. Adal. Do you want to record an episode? Yeah. Why are your hands so cold, Adal?

You don't have to answer that. I live in Chicago.

Okay. You weren't doing 30 seconds sitting on your hands, 30 seconds in the freezer?

Couldn't be me.

Great. Then we're all on the same page.

I forgot that I live in Chicago. I've been wasting freezer energy. There's no reason for it. Stick my damn hands out.

Stop. 30 seconds at the window, 30 seconds sitting on it. 30 seconds at the window, 30 seconds sitting on it. And you can take that advice for free. Hey everybody, this is Hey Riddle Riddle. Our hands are cold, but our hearts are warm. That's JPC over there.

Wow, great tagline for the show, Erin.

Thanks. That's JPC over there.

We already did me.

Oh, and that's Adal over there.

Oh, hello. And that's Erin over there.

Oh, hello. And I'm right over here. JPC, something you wanted to discuss?

So I've been thinking about it and I think I'm going to rebrand myself because I go by JPC. Sometimes people get confused by that. They're like, oh, what's your name? I say, that's JPC. And they go, oh, you go by JPC? And I'm like, yeah, that's my name. That's what I go by. I'm thinking of changing it up. And this is for life purposes, but also for like official purposes. Like maybe this is the way that I'll build myself in like future episodes as well.

This is not January 1st and this is not your birthday. So this is a seemingly random rebrand.

This is a rebrand that struck me as so obvious that I could not believe that I hadn't thought of it earlier. And I think it's going to be great for branding. I think it's going to be good for the show. I'm going to start going by, in official documentation, my credits, my IMDb, what I'm known as, the Coen brother.

Oh no, who's going to tell him?

I don't want to tell him.

The Coen brother.

No, we heard it. Because here's the thing. I am not a Coen brothers. Oh, so you have heard of them. None of my brothers, of course I have. None of my brothers have the last name Coen. I'm the only one of my brothers with the last name Coen. So I am the Coen brother.

I mean, I think people are just going to call you TCB if you go that route, because I think we've all gotten pretty comfortable with the initials. I love it.

Can I tell you my real issue with the Coen brother thing?

Yes.

Okay, so for many, many years, the Coen brothers worked together. Yes. They were making Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? They were making Fargo. They were making... Not in that order. And of course that movie with Greg Kinnear and Matt Damon is…

Twins joined at the hip, they were pitchers. Oh, that was the Farrelly brothers. Oh, yes.

Lady Killers? They did Lady Killers? They did all sorts of things together. Currently, right now, aren't they working separately?

They are.

One of them directed the new, I guess it's not new, time doesn't mean anything anymore, the new Macbeth with Denzel Washington in it.

New-ish.

New-ish, which I thought was actually quite good. First 20 minutes are a little slow, the rest is quite fantastic. I so now maybe on set they are being referred to as the Coen brother. They are singular now. So you're sort of infringing on their new IP.

There's also Ethan Coen. Is that right? There's Ethan Coen, who is a Coen brother. And then there's Ethan Coen, who directs a bunch of other slop. This is the Bill Murray thing with like Bill Murray signed on to Garfield because he thought it was being directed by Ethan Coen, but it was being directed by Ethan Coen. You guys familiar with this? This is lore. This is old Hollywood lore. Rules. Yeah, I think he spells it different. He smells it different.

Javier Bardem is Garfield.

He's wearing the same. Okay, Garfield, but he's wearing the No Country for Old Men wig.

That is my lasagna. He takes like an abattoir gun to Odie's head.

Yes! Ethan Coen, he wrote Idiocracy. I think he wrote, or maybe he directed Tropic Thunder. Get Hard, oh boy, you remember Get Hard.

Tropic Thunder was written by the handsome guy from The Leftovers.

Yeah, he wrote it. Justin Theroux.

Justin Theroux wrote Tropic Thunder.

Not to be confused with… Throw pillows. Throw pillows.

Justin.

Justin. Throw pillows on our motorcycle.

Oh, the Canadian… The former Prime Minister of Canada. The former Katy Perry's fiancé, Justin.

Fiancé?

Trudeau.

I believe they got engaged.

Oh my goodness.

This is going to help you guys. Eaton Cohen did the screenplay for Bad Guys 2. Lead with that.

That we all know.

Do you guys think that Katy Perry listens to Hey Riddle Riddle?

Hundo P. I have evidence. Hundo P. Erin.

Do you think that there's a random celebrity that has stumbled upon us, gave us a shot, and then left? Like maybe their kid liked us or something, and then... No. Okay.

I know that Kat Dennings had a brief stint where she was into Magic Tavern.

Oh, that's... I mean, that's amazing. That makes sense to me.

And that was a weird blip where we were like, whoa, what? And then I think by the time we got our bearings, it was like, Hey, should we reach out? I think it's done. I think we're, I think, maybe, no.

Do you know, because like sometimes I know people will listen to Magic Tavern if they are, if there's like a guest or like a celebrity that's on it, do you know if Kat Dinnings like got hooked in by a different celebrity?

I don't know.

Okay. Thought this was going to be a really ripe area of conversation.

Lin-Manuel Miranda, if you are listening to us, blink twice in your next interview.

I do know Lin-Manuel Miranda is aware of Magic Tavern.

Okay, huge.

Because when I met him, I handed him a card and said, I do a podcast.

Okay, so he has a Magic Tavern card in his wallet, maybe.

There's a trash can near the, I want to say the Neil Simon Theater.

Are we counting that as aware of? I mean, if we are, we are, right?

He looked at the card and he said, tell me about your podcast.

That's sweet.

Was he just reading the text of the card? Like when someone hands someone a note when they're driving a bank that's like, act normal. Ask me how my day is.

Ask me about my podcast.

Have I told you about when I met him and it was, to me, the weirdest triangulation of celebrities?

I think vaguely, but remind me.

So I saw Hamilton, the original run, in New York, and I was with Vanessa, and she's friends with, is it Busy Phillips? Yep. Busy, yes. Busy. She's friends with Busy Phillips, and so we got to go backstage afterwards, or like on the stage to meet the cast and everyone, and it was us in like a little huddle, and then it was Retta from Parks and Rec. Oh she's so funny. And Dave Matthews. And so it was like us at one corner, Dave at like another point, and then Retta. And the cast is like bouncing between that triangle. So it'd be like Daveed Diggs comes over and says like hi to us and then goes up to Dave and then down to Retta. So it's just this weird triangulation of like What a random, and obviously Vanessa and Busy being friends, they could, you know, chat amongst themselves and they knew some of the cast and everything. But I just felt like I was witnessing something extraordinary.

That is an incredible lineup. And was your mouth just filling with blood trying not to ask Dave Matthews about what happened in Chicago?

I, in my head, It was almost like, you know in one of the Avengers movies? Did you mention you're from Chicago? You know in one of the Avengers movies where Doctor Strange does his thing where he's like, I've looked through 500 million things? The possibilities. JPC, Erin, I went through several timelines where I went up to Dave and I was like, I know what you did.

Chicago remembers.

I think, I think that he donated like a ton of money to like a river cleanup charity too, like in like, by means of apologizing. Of course he did. I think he paid for his mess.

I think about on Hey Riddle Riddle when we joked about he paid for his mess, how people leave like bears and flowers at that spot.

Yeah, it is very funny. It's, it's, honestly though, Hey Riddle Riddle

I donated to the JPC Fix the Pipes charity, which helps toilets in need.

I know I fucked up your toilet, but every time I go to Home Depot I leave a $50 bill and a display model just as a way of kind of like paying it forward.

Just to pay it forward.

There's certain things we love in Hey Riddle Riddle, and that is one of them.

It's Joel Coen. Joel Coen, a different Joel Coen, was the writer of the Garfield movie from 2004.

Okay, thank you for fact-checking.

Eaton Coen, or Eaton? Eaton Coen? It is a different Coen. There's so many Coens in film that it gets confusing, which is why. Great time for the Coen brother.

Well, I think latch onto a different part of your name. Like, how many people are named John?

Oh boy.

This has the energy that I'm Old Man Puzzles today. I'm not though. I know what everyone's thinking. Oh, that's a classic Erin episode. No, it's not me.

Yeah. Erin, do you remember that episode where you didn't know that you were Old Man Puzzles until it was

The one that we recorded recently, that was horrifying?

I never think about episodes after they've come out. I thought about that the other day. It popped into my head and I was like, that was so funny to me.

That was wackadoo. And you know, but I will say, having, I did, I was prepared for one. Yeah. I had one, like ones from a book that I had read and prepared. So luckily, thank God, what would I have done? What would I have done?

I would like, I'm Old Man Puzzles just to... Congratulations. And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling Coans. Coanhead. Coanhead. Cointelpro.

Ice Cream Coan. TCPY.

Ice Cream Coan was my comedy sports name because you always had to have like a nickname when they announced you for comedy sports and mine was John Patrick Ice Cream Coan.

What would what would mine be?

Keif. So we have to say something. No, it's got to be it's comedy sports. You get an instant brown bag if you said Keif. It would be like something that ends with a Keif sound.

Erin on the side of meatballs.

Erin on the side of meatballs. I walk out, I'm so depressed.

Erin, does Adal think your last name is Meatballs?

I think so.

Don't correct him. Well, Ms. Meatballs, Mr. Coan.

Now presenting Mr. and Mrs. Meatballs. I'm keeping my name.

I'm keeping my name. I'm keeping my name.

I'm keeping my name.

I'm not keeping Mr. Meatballs.

Girls can keep their names now. I'm trying to get my own money.

Yogurt, Ms. Meatballs, we need to see a scene. Erin, you are a Chicago tour guide. JPC and I are tourists on this beautiful tour. And you are going to be giving us some information about Chicago, inevitably leading up to the Dave Matthews sort of bridge.

We think that Chicago did a great job rebuilding after the fire. Obviously, we lost a lot of great buildings, but it really added to a swarm of really great architects coming in and rebuilding the city. We got a lot of Art Deco.

The devil in the white city.

Yes, exactly, World's Fair. Yeah, you know all about Chicago.

Hank, I'm so sorry to do this. We were up so late last night. I think I'm just going to catch a quick nap while the tour is happening. It's interesting, but I'm just going to do a quick nap. Would I lean my head back if my mouth opens up? Will you just kind of like push my jaw shut? Because I just don't want to have my mouth open, you know, sleeping in public.

I hear some mumblings and grumblings from the group. I bet you want me to talk more about where you can find some Chicago ghosts. Welcome back. Oh, we get a lot of requests here on the tour. People want to hear about Al Capone's time in the city. People are interested in the history of the Chicago Cubs and White Sox. Any fans of each of these teams? Classic rivalry. I'm actually here birdwatching.

So I'm just going to be staring straight up into the sky through my binoculars.

Just go somewhere else then.

How? We're on a boat.

God, I got fucking broken up with this morning. I'm doing all the 18 fucking things.

You're talking into a microphone. You got broken up with this morning?

Oh, I am? Yep, I got broken up with this morning at Tweet in Andersonville.

What does that mean?

He took me out to brunch. I ended up paying for both of us. It's cash only and I didn't have cash.

Anyway, how'd you pay for both of you?

I had to wait in the long line at the ATM and then they ended up not having enough cash in the ATM and so I had to... doesn't matter.

I like how they give you a little piece of breakfast bread before your meal.

Yeah, there's gluten-free ones too. If you're gluten-free, they're really good.

Sometimes they have chocolate chips that are mmm.

Great Bloody Marys at Tweet.

I've never been to Chicago before. Isn't Tweet connected to Big Chicks?

It is connected to Big Chicks! This guy knows all about Chicago. I love it. It is fantastic. It is a great bar.

It's a gay bar and a breakfast place. What's not to love?

It's the best of both worlds. Many great Chicago comedians worked at Tweet. 9 others. The most requested part of our tour is something that is haunting the city, something awful. It's where Dave Matthews did something unspeakable to the Chicago River. How many people have heard about what we do the Chicago River on St. Patrick's Day?

Zero hits, no hits.

Well, we turn it green. Don't worry, it's environmentally safe. No, no, it's really quite charming.

You should say that before.

People drink Guinness in River North and then they walk over and they go, huh, the river's green. That's sort of a fun thing we love to do in Chicago. But for a brief moment, not on St. Patrick's Day, the river was brown. Is this a music cue? Wait. He put shit in the river. I could have gone on and on, but Adal cut me off. In 2004, 800 pounds of human waste.

For anyone who doesn't know what we're talking about, Google DMV Chicago 2004.

There's a plaque, right?

There's a plaque on the bridge. And I feel like there's something else.

Google Poopgate. 200,000 gentlemen from the band. Oh, so good.

Google Poopgate. Google Poopgate.

Actually, it would be pretty impressive.

Can I get an excuse from the parody song episode now that I've done that?

Erin, that episode was like a month and a half ago.

Yeah, can I be excused from it?

Yes, of course. Yeah, you do not have to participate in that episode for a month and a half.

Well, Erin, you're excused because I remember well that you did an incredible Dave Matthews poop parody.

Thank you.

I believe.

It's impressive. It's impressive for Poopgate if it still leads to that because that was like what you said like 20 years ago and we haven't had another Poopgate yet that's taken up that SEO. That's great. That's good for us for America.

Yeah. But you know how time works like if there's another Poopgate then this will just be like it'll be like This is like the great poop gate and then it will be, like we don't know what they'll be called if they, I don't know what happens, you know what I mean?

Got it, yeah.

You won't know until a couple hundred years after what people decide it is, you know?

Dave Matthews is the reason we have to take our shoes off at the airport in Chicago because of poop gate. Because of poop gate. Unbelievable.

And we thank him for it. I hope he listens.

That would be wild if this is his first and only listen.

I love your drummer. I love your drummer.

I think there's a chance that this is his first and only listen because I'm assuming that we're gonna name the name of this episode Dave Matthews, please listen to this episode.

Oh, please. Let's start to pander more. Speaking of pandering.

My other pitch is that we call this episode not found because it's this episode 404.

Ooh. I like that.

It's our only time to do that. And then the next episode will be Dave Matthews, please listen to this.

Please start from here. Dave Matthews, please listen to the previous episode.

Please, please name it that. I'm begging you.

If I have my druthers, I'm going to name 405 Dave Matthews, please listen to the previous episode.

Please don't lose your druthers. I really hope you keep your druthers.

In parentheses, not the Patreon preview. I love it. Okay. All right.

All right.

Okay. Okay. Enough fun. Enough fun.

Enough fun. Let's do riddles. I do want to read a riddle. I want to start off with one that I received from Maggie, and I want to say this was given to me at a live show in Philly. I'm pretty sure Maggie attended our show in Philly and handed me this riddle, and it's one of my favorite riddles of all time.

Oh, exciting.

JBC, I believe you were with me when I solved this. So if you remember the answer, please do not shout it aloud. I was with you when you solved this. I think we went to that because we went to that old-timey ice cream shop in Philly.

Yes.

And I believe outside of that shop is where, because I ordered, Erin, I ordered pretzel ice cream with pretzel balls topped with pretzel dust.

I'm

What's up?

If you need to take 30 seconds to put your hands in the freezer, then another 30 seconds to sit on them and take, you know, repeat that cycle a couple of times, you can do that.

Take that numb hand and feed yourself a soft pretzel.

But then how am I supposed to, I'm not gonna be able to feel my hands and I won't be able to type in soft pretzel porn into my phone.

Erin, put your hands above the keyboard and trust that they know what to do.

Let the algorithm take you away.

So thank you, Maggie, for handing me and presumably writing this riddle. Here we go. Erin, I think this is an only you answer, unless JPC legit forgot.

I'd be hard pressed to remember any specific conversation that I've had. So I think there's a 50-50 chance that I'm right there with Erin guessing along.

This is one of my favorite riddles ever from Maggie. A word from the cradle spoken before speech. Pilgrims at midnight know well where I reach. A beacon on corners, a harbor of bread. A cult in the commons where hunger is fed. Not temple nor tavern, yet filling all needs. When Adal is thirsty, it's what baby needs.

Okay. Well, I know it. I don't remember it, but I know it based on when baby is thirsty. Well, okay. Can I, Erin, do you know this one? No, I don't. Okay.

So first of all, My guess is milk, but I don't think that that's what it is.

It's not milk. I have a deep history with this, but also whenever I just came back from Florida not too long ago, whenever we go see Mariah's parents, they live like down the street from a Wawa gas station because everything from Florida ends up, or everything from all over the country ends up in Florida when people retire to it. So I know that the answer is Wawa because I also know I also know that the Baby Wants Wawa story is one of my favorite stories of yours.

Thank you. The answer is Wawa.

Of course. Okay, we were in Philadelphia.

Yeah.

Of course. Of course. Of course.

And Philadelphia also has Sheetz, right? Yes, it is. Because those are like the two competing Philadelphia gas stations?

I think so. And that's why we were wearing those t-shirts and you were dressed like Ben Franklin.

Yeah, for sure.

I would like to see a scene. Oh, go ahead.

No, I was just gonna say that I see wah-wahs down in Florida, but I don't see sheets, so it's interesting. Yes, Erin, please, your seat.

My scene. Adal, you're going to be a bartender. JPC, you're going to be a baby that is going into a bar, and you don't want to be talked down to or condescended. You want to be treated just like any other patron.

All right, what are we having? ID, please.

I've been waiting here for 15 minutes, or 1 minute, or 60 minutes. I don't, I can't, I don't, I can't do time, so.

Gotcha, gotcha, yeah, it's been a little slammed. Um, can I see your ID, please?

Uh, just Jim Antwonek. My what?

Your name is Jim Antwonek?

No, I would like a gin and tonic.

Oh, gin and tonic, yes.

Yes, please.

Just grab that ID, please.

The bouncer checked my ID when I came in. I mean, I've got the wristband. I got the wristband.

Oh, it's on the floor.

Well, because they don't really make them for wrists this small, do they? When that's kind of ableist. Yeah, just a gin and tonic.

All right, coming up. Okay. And, oh, sorry, I should ask, do you want a top shelf or well?

Oh, is that funny because I can't reach onto a top shelf because I'm a baby?

Is that why that's funny to you? I don't think so.

It's for you people. I can't do you, huh? Uh-huh. The least you could do, by the way, when you serve it to me, is with a little nipple on top, please. I can't dwink out of a straw because I don't have the sucking power for that, so it has to be a nipple on the top. It will spill if you give it to me just a glass.

What's going on? Sir, thank you for your service. I assume you fought the Civil War? Civil War, yeah. I assumed you then... Wait, hold on. ...aged to... How do we think this works?

Yeah, you're right. Yeah, age backwards, yeah.

I checked his ID at the door.

Todd?

Everyone's always on Todd for doing a bad job.

Todd?

But I looked.

Okay, Todd. If one more baby gets through, you're done.

He had this little plastic ID thing.

Come back to daycare. Guys, I found a bar where they think Benjamin Button disease is real. And we could go there and we could drink.

Oh, hell yeah. Do they play sports? Or do they play Cocomelon?

Um, it's mostly sports. I bet if we got more of us guys in there we could get them to switch to Cocoa Melon, but it's... Or we'd have to do like, um, we'd have to wait until it was like, uh, not sports season? Is that right?

We cut back to the bar. So you're telling me that you, seemingly a three-month baby, saw Led Zeppelin at the Winter Ballroom in 72?

I, yeah, and this was when John Bonham was still, you know, with us.

Hey, everyone at the bow really wants Cocomelon on the television set.

That's weird. Should we all just watch Cocomelon?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. But you're all like 80 to 90 years old, right?

You're just trapped in... Adults watch Bluey.

Adults watch Bluey.

That's fair. See, Adal and me, it ends up being like the best argument I've ever heard.

My character and the person behind it. Completely called out.

I do like how it's like Bluey, the one that's universally accepted by adults, and then Cocomelon, the one that if an adult watches Cocomelon, they're like, what the fuck?

Their brain starts melting out of their ears.

I've never seen Cocomelon, but I've heard a bunch of Cocomelon songs, just because like baby songs autoplay. And without fail, every time I'm like, what the fuck am I listening to? And then I look at it and I go, oh, it's Cocomelon.

Of course it is.

I think I don't know what it is, but I know this is the Cocomelon wheels on the bus.

Is Cocomelon, is it like Bluey where Cocomelon is a character or is Cocomelon like a planet or something?

Shrug.

Your guess is as good as mine. Shrug.

Big shrug. I don't know. What could Cocomelon possibly mean? What could that mean?

Is it a bunch of like fruit dancing?

I'll look it up. That's what it sounds like. Don't look it up. Please, Erin, let Coco, just don't tell me. I just don't want to know what Cocomelon is. Erin, that's Carmen Miranda.

Oh, this looks worse than I imagined. This is bad.

Cocomelon? Cocomelon feels like I would, like, if I'm looking at a list of mocktails at a bar, that's one that I'm not even reading the rest of the ingredients. I go, it's called the Cocomelon? Skip. Skip.

You're not going to get anything in that drink. The liquor is like gin, and you're like, what?

Who wasted time making cantaloupe liqueur? I've heard of hot honey, but what the fuck is spicy honey?

Why is that the second ingredient?

Infused.

I think I've told this story before on the show, but one of my favorite moments of my life was pre-getting my license. I was like 15 or 14, and my friend Steven from high school, his mom picked us up because we had to still carpool places. She was driving us somewhere and he had two little sisters. They were like much younger. And I was in the back with one of the littlest ones. And the car was completely silent. And she like tapped me on the shoulder and was like psst. And she went, I can't pronounce my owls. And I was like, oh yeah, yeah, I had a speech impediment too. And I was like, she's like, yeah, I can't say my owls at all. Every time I try to say any word with owl in it, I can't do it. Think about it all of the time. And you know what?

I think she graduated. Was she saying our?

Yeah, I think she's graduated college and I don't even know. I don't have an update on if this girl can pronounce her ours. I can't pronounce my owls.

We have a surprise. JPC and I have been sitting on this waiting for you to tell the story. Casey, go ahead and play the voicemail that is that little girl grown up now.

Hey Erin. Hey Erin, it's Kate from back in the day. I didn't give you permission to share that story. It's kind of really fucking personally embarrassing to me. So you will be hearing from my attorney.

Turn it off. Turn it off. Turn it off, Casey. Turn it off.

Okay Casey, crazy. And thank you Casey for preserving her anonymity by using the JPC voice modulator on that voicemail.

And of course that little girl had a disease where if you turn off her voicemail she dies.

Basically pulling the plug.

So Erin, why don't you take some time to reflect on what you just did and we'll take a quick break and be right back with hopefully sort of a rejuvenated Erin. Oh my god. You know that disease where someone stops playing your voicemail? Yeah. You die? Yeah.

Sorry, I'm just looking at myself in the mirror. You guys, I don't, I don't think I really like my clothes right now. I think I need a spring refresh.

Oh, um, Erin, what kind of stuff are you looking for?

Like, like, like stylish timeless pieces, like maybe like a raincoat and like a cashmere, like sweater that's like transitional from winter to spring.

Oh, Erin, I would not wear a cashmere sweater over a raincoat. It's gonna get absolutely ruined if there's rain. I'm putting it together. That's not what she meant. Okay. Erin, have you heard about Quince? Quince makes high-quality everyday essentials using premium materials like 100% European linen and their insanely soft floknit activewear fabric. They have linen pants and shirts that are lightweight, breathable, and comfortable, basically the perfect layer for spring. The pants strike the right balance between laid-back and refined, so you look put together without trying too hard. What you going for?

Uh, yeah.

Okay. Well, Erin, also you silly goose, the best part about Quince is that their prices are 50 to 60% less than similar brands. How? You're screaming at me? Erin, please stop screaming. How? Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen. So you're paying for quality, not brand markup. Everything is designed to last and it makes getting dressed easy.

I have a purse from Quince that I have people stop me when I'm walking around LA to ask me where I get it because it looks very expensive, but it's not. It's going to like last me years and years. I also have a ring from there that I love. They've got home stuff that's timeless and awesome. Incredible rugs, curtains.

They've got baby stuff.

They've got baby stuff.

Erin, you're wearing your purse. You should, um, actually you're pulling it off.

And I look incredible. JPC, you know how Adal got turned into a boat and he's a boat now?

Got turned? Turned himself?

Right.

You know, got turned sounds like a witch did it.

You're right, this time he elected to do it.

Yes.

Well, I just got back from his, he went on his maiden voyage and I was the one in charge of hitting him really hard with champagne and I am exhausted.

Oh yeah, it really took a lot of cracks to get that bottle broken on him.

It didn't break at all right away. It took like 18 minutes.

Well, Erin, you know, first of all, I had the opportunity to say that you look exhausted and I didn't take it, so points for me. Erin, you should take a nap.

Oh, on my Helix mattress. Oh, I forgot my Midnight Luxe. I've had it for years and I am obsessed with this mattress.

I also love my Helix Midnight Luxe. It's great for me as a side sleeper, and it sleeps the same as when I bought it years ago. It's a mattress that truly has held up and stood the test of time.

Every time I have a dog sitter stay here, they ask me what my mattress is because they love it so much, and I go, you just gotta take a quick little quiz, buddy.

You got a Helix Sleep?

You take a quiz, they match you with a mattress, and then also they have a 120-night sleep trial and limited lifetime warranty. So if you don't like it, that's okay, but you will. You'll love it.

And I know what you're thinking. How am I going to get this mattress? Well, it's free shipping and seamless delivery. Helix delivers your mattress right to your door with free shipping in the U.S. Which is, I guess, bad news for Adal because I believe his boat, I almost said his boat, but it's just him. He's in international waters now.

So, it doesn't count. I don't know what.

Yes, plus with Helix Sleep, returns are easy. They have the Rest Happy with Helix Guarantee. You can rest easy with seamless returns and exchanges.

HelixSleep.com slash Riddle. Adal is a boat now and I hit him so hard in the head with a champagne bottle. HelixSleep.com slash Riddle.

I think hitting the head on a boat means something different. Erin, can I ask, my speech impediment when I was a kid, I think, I want to say maybe it was like fourth grade or fifth grade when I finally got over it, but I had to do speech pathology. Oh my God, it's coming back.

His impediment used to be that he would linger on the end of a word.

Yeah, I used to make all my words curl like Dr. Seuss tales. I used to not say my R's, pronounce my R's very well, and every once in a while I will like do it, I'll like, I won't even say it but I'll like hear myself think it, I'll like think in the W instead of the R. What was, what was your speech impediment?

I had two. I had a lisp and I had a little bit of a stutter, especially in reading. It would show up when I would read. And yeah, I did speech pathology classes. My sister is a speech pathologist and we joked that she went into it because I was driving her so insane with my mouth growing up.

It's like, I don't want anyone to have to go through what I went through.

Yeah, I still, sometimes with reading out loud, I have, I'm, that it's been hard. I'm getting over it with like Riddle stuff, like sometimes in episodes it's hard and then in live shows. And with world news during the, when I would read the... Newspaper articles. Newspaper articles, thank you. When I'd read the articles that people had pulled, I would, sometimes it would happen and that would make me very nervous. Shout out to the table of people who laughed at me that thought I was joking and then they went beet red when they realized I wasn't.

I did a, I used to do a thing when I was a kid where I would just avoid using words that I knew had R's in them, like at the beginning or the end of the word. I'd just be like, okay, just that, that word, that's off limits for you now. You don't, you don't say that one anymore.

When I was a kid, also, I had huge tonsils and I ended up having to get out. So I literally, I was like... Like when I was like, no one could understand me. And the fact that I talk for a living is so crazy. Yeah, very muppety.

I think I'm going to go outside and climb one of those big wood uplongs in the yard, in the, not yard, can't say yard, in the... What's uplong? a little bit.

Always a meatball, never a ragu. Okay, here's another riddle. When is it more polite to pass or overtake on the inside?

Pass on the inside makes me think of fart.

Can you read it again? The beginning part of it.

When is it more polite to pass or overtake on the inside? Typically, if you're going somewhere and you're using some sort of mode of transportation, you pass on the outside. This would be the polite way. When is it polite to overtake or pass on the inside?

Is it when there's, like, an accident on the road? Because I know if there's, like, an accident and it is on the left lane, you have to pass on the right.

But that feels too literal for a riddle.

Yeah, you're right.

A bike. When it's... When you're passing a secret.

When you're passing... Does it say... Does it say pass or overtake, Adal, or did you... Pass or overtake. Okay, so... Because, like... If you're going to pass gas, you actually kind of want to do go outside to do that, right?

Boy, JPC, you are really hung up on that.

I mean, when your wife makes you fart outside 30 yards from the house, that's, I mean, is that crazy? Should I say?

Neighbors are like, this guy goes, this guy's smoking 80 to 90 times a day, and you're like, but I never see a cigarette in this area.

Passing or overtaking on the outside and it's polite, is it like a... I'm trying to think of like a sport where that would like track and field maybe or racing.

That's probably good thinking. Can we have a hint?

Will you put your turn signal on? This is most, maybe not most typically, depending on what sort of suburb you grew up in, I guess. The times I've done this the most have been inside castles.

Did you see what suburb you grew up in?

Well, I guess depending on how Tony a neighborhood you grew up in, the most times I've done this is in a castle when being around Europe.

But for other people, it might be like, oh, the only castle we had in my neighborhood was White Castle. And that's actually probably true.

Probably true. Oh, a crave case would hit the spot. Erin, you ever have a crave case?

No, but I wish people, I wish businessmen brought those to work instead of briefcases.

Work, work, buy, sell, buy, sell, it just opens up a big...

I remember my dad bringing home a crepe case once when we were kids and us being like, oh my god, we're gonna have four burgers.

And then two hours later, oh, we're all ruined. Our insides are ruined.

When you're a kid though, you can eat fucking anything. Like you could pack away White Castle when you're like 10 years old and you're like, it's just gonna affect me.

There's a reason adults don't eat Lunchables, I guess.

Yeah.

They won't tell me. Erin, right?

Yeah, right. Not for breakfast.

Erin, we all agree adults don't eat Lunchables.

They don't eat pizza Lunchables for breakfast. That's not enough nutrition for the day.

Adults don't eat those pizza Lunchables that are cold marinara on a cracker with cold cheese.

Yeah, adults don't do that.

With a little red stick that substitutes as a knife.

Adults don't do that. Adults don't also have those for lunch and dinner as well.

You know what adults can do though? They can buy toaster strudels, take out all the icing, and go return the toaster strudels and be like, I didn't actually want these.

What is it more polite to pass or overtake on the inside? So this is something I've mostly done in castles.

In a spiral staircase.

Erin, when passing someone on a spiral staircase. On a spiral staircase where the insides are narrower and hence harder to climb.

I would like to see a scene. What? Adal, you are some sort of like old castle-y henchman type thing and you're holding a candle. No, no, no. You know what I mean. Like one of those like, yeah, yeah. And you are leading JPC to his room at the top of the castle while holding a candle. And JPC, you're getting pretty dizzy.

Okay. And just 18 more flights to go. Of course, we go up here.

Just watch your elbows. Why is this at an angle? Why is it starting to be at an angle?

Yes, of course. That's because when the Goths tried to ransack this castle with their arrows, they almost succeeded. So we modified it to where everything is at a slight angle so the arrows can't harm. Welcome back.

Because we're just here for the night, you know.

Those are all showrooms. All the bedrooms and the ground floor, those are for when... We're trying to sell the place, so we've had it staged. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. We bake cookies, always bake cookies. How are we heading down? We were just heading up. How are we now heading down? We're sort of an M.C. Escher situation. I'm upside down, Mom! And we keep going. Huh? You just split into two guys. Who, me? Me? Which one are you pointing at? I didn't do it, he did. I'm pointing at both, I have two hands. One of us always lies, and one of us always lies. It's Spider-Man style.

Find me, I'm just passing by.

That person's walking on the underside of the stairs.

Yes, that person died ten minutes ago on this very night. What?

What?

I killed her. Scene.

Scene. God, I love stairs. Love stairs. I don't think I've been on a spiral staircase in... I'm trying to remember the last time I possibly would have. Oh, I had a friend who had one of those apartments with two floors in it. It sounds fancy, but it was a small place with two floors, but they had a small spiral staircase that I went up once and I was like, oh, I would not want one of these in my home.

Here's another riddle. A completely naked man robs a newspaper kiosk. Thank you. Sorry, I'm just reading headlines. A completely naked man robs a newspaper kiosk and then runs off into the crowd. The police are unable to find him, and all the witnesses have trouble describing him. Explain why.

Waldo.

Yeah, it was Waldo. Great. And people can't see Waldo.

Well, Waldo without his clothes on looks completely different.

Yeah, he looks like the lead singer of Dottie Froyer, what's that Icelandic band?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that Icelandic band? This is a naked person.

A completely naked man robs a newspaper kiosk and then runs off into the crowd. The police are unable to find him and all the witnesses have trouble describing him.

Is it one of those things where he has some feature, like he's got a big red baboon ass, and the only thing that people see because he's naked is this big red ass, and so then they're like, what did he look like? And they're like, I got a big red ass. He's got a great baboon ass. They're like, what did his face look like? And they're like, I don't know. And they're like, what race was he? And they're like, baboon? I don't know. I mean, he had a big... Adal, that is a big red ass.

Is he a person?

He is a person. And he... And it's not red ass.

And he came out wearing the newspapers.

Oh, that's a great guess.

As camouflage.

That's a great guess, but that is not the answer. But that is... I really like that guess. You said he's a naked man? I saw a six foot one pile of newspapers blow by.

Yeah.

Six foot one.

Is this like a Hollow Man situation where he's invisible because he's naked? Or like a Kel from Mystery Men?

Or all the buildings around it look like naked flesh. So he's sort of blending in.

My favorite wrong answers I've ever heard. NJPZ, thank you for ranking your guesses in order of how good the movie is, because the new Elizabeth Moss Hollow Man is quite good. Mystery Men, no slack. I'd give that a B+.

Yeah, I like a Mystery Men.

Yeah, I like a Mystery Men.

Hank Azaria, Ben Stiller.

Flesh Colored Buildings, Erin. I want to see it.

That seems pretty gross.

Okay. Maybe like Santa Fe?

Hey Adal, is it important that he's robbing a newspaper kiosk? Is that like part of the answer?

That is not important. I would say the completely naked man part is important, and the fact that he runs off into the crowd is important, and the fact that they're not able to find him is important, and the fact that the witnesses have no trouble describing him is important.

Is this like a, is he at like a nudist convention or a nude beach or something like that? JPC, my dear boy, you've done it. Wait, but, so wait, wasn't part of it that people had trouble describing him?

Yeah, because I think, I think the mind is like, oh, a completely naked man, if he, in New York, grabbed a newspaper and ran away, we should all be able to be like, we would immediately all stare at that person. Yeah. But I think in a news colony, you see a nude person run by and nobody gives a second thought.

Yeah, and also eyewitness testimony is terribly unreliable. Our memories are fallible. Also, why narc on a guy for stealing papers? Who did he hurt? Also... Thank you.

I would like to see a scene. This is… Erin, you're from Boston. What are some of the original colonies in the U.S.? Virginia? Massachusetts? Paprika? Salt? What's that place in Roanoke? Roanoke, everybody disappear. This is the Lost Colony of Roanoke, pre-Lost. Pre-Lost can still get you pregnant. Thank you. And this is, the two of you are members of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. And Erin, today is the day you are suggesting that things maybe become a little looser in terms of clothing in the colony.

Okay. It's hot, right? Guys, it's like, woof, I'm like doing all this like, I'm cutting all this wood and stuff to make buildings and build buildings. It's like hot.

Tis warm, yes. I like to take off my wool vest. Of course, take off my wool jacket to take off the vest and put the wool jacket back on, then my wool gloves.

Doesn't feel like enough though, huh?

For modesty, Samuel, for modesty.

For modesty, for the Lord watches over us all.

Yeah, but part of the reason why we're here is religious freedom, huh? We're sort of the fun ones.

Common misconception. Our religion is so odious that we got kicked out of England. And we don't want religious freedom as much as we want freedom to practice our weird religion and no other religions. Yes, yes.

But we are, Samuel, we are the fun ones. So let me tell a joke. A man goes into a church and worships, worships.

Excellent joke. Thank you. Back to work, I should say.

Or. Or. I never stop. I mean, like, we're all surprising ourselves. We didn't know, we didn't know that we could make it over here having us all live, right?

Yes.

I'm sort of feeling more alive than ever before. Grateful for the time we have left.

Yes, my wife mentioned that the other night she heard you, I don't mean to speak in the devil's tongue, tapping your toes.

Yeah, I thought maybe I don't know, I heard dancing could be fun and... Dancing? I thought maybe we could put our... I'm sorry, I'm behind the eight ball here.

What is dancing?

Sort of when you move to the rhythm of... Oh, witchcraft.

Witchcraft. Got it. Oh, witchcraft. I know exactly what we're talking about.

Moving to the rhythm, witchcraft. Got it. To clear the air, to clear the air, let me tell a quick joke. Two pious men get into heaven.

Good one, good one.

Prepare people for a joke like that.

It's a little bit of a walk, so bear with me. What if we, in order to get into our homes for safety and modesty, we created these little things that are shaped specifically to everyone's door. You have to put it in the door and turn it in order to unlock the door so you can get into your own home. And then you carry that around with you. And then what if, on Fridays, we put all of those things into a bowl, and everyone picked something, one of those things, out of that bowl, and then you sleep with whoever you got that thing from.

Like a thing party.

Yeah, a thing party. And you have relations.

Yeah, we do thing parties. Have you... Donna, have you never been invited to a thing party?

Wait, are you guys having thing parties?

A hundo pee.

Oh my god, I wanted to sleep with your wife so bad. I wanna go. Same, girl.

Get in line, baby. Same.

A thing party.

Let's see here. Okay, here we go. Racing driver Ramon Ricard. Had a terrible accident at Daytona. It left him in the hospital for six months. Surprisingly, he never once considered giving up racing. Why not? Racing driver Ramon Ricard had a terrible accident at Daytona. It left him in the hospital for six months. Surprisingly, he never once considered giving up racing. Why not? Is it because he's in a coma and he can't consider anything? That is a fantastic guess, but no, that is not it.

Oh man, honestly, I was hoping it wouldn't be that, but I kind of had to just guess. I had to try.

Coma's always on the table.

Racing driver Ramon Ricard had a terrible accident at Daytona. It left him in the hospital for six months.

Surprisingly, he never once considered giving up racing. Why not?

Did he just, was he walking down the stairs at Daytona and tripped and fell?

JPC had nothing to do with racing? JPC, would you believe it's because he fell down some stairs?

I would like to see a scene. JPC, this is you pre-race. Okay. And Adal, you're gonna be an interviewer and JPC, you're trying to save face after you've gotten injured before the race even started.

Okay, got it. Mr. Yogair, we're all very excited to see you race today. Shut up. Huh?

Have a say, man. Oh. I'm just gonna go out there and track, do my best, and if into the pavement, and get a great team.

Mr. Yogair, we all saw you eat shit moments ago. Your head smacks pretty hard.

Oh, definitely. It's, yeah, I mean weather conditions are perfect out there, so it's not even a minute bad if you just poop.

Say the word and I can call in a doctor. They're right here.

They're ready to go in, but we don't want to... They're going to have to call in a doctor after I get on the track because I've been burning up so much and having a time in my life out there. Oh, and I got to give it up to my sponsor. Points to my hair. Big pot of chicken. Big pile of chicken. Hey man, it's really nice to meet your acquaintance, and it's always nice to be a fan, and have a nice time. I'm gonna erase time.

Hey man, you gotta be honest about what you can do out there, okay? I'll send in your backup, but you just gotta be honest about what you can do out there.

Pull me behind the wheels of that car, and I'll get out and push it if I have to get across the fishing line.

Is this pre-race jitters, or...? Are you hurt?

You know what? I probably had it. It's because what I did was I had a coffee earlier today. So I was just I'm as caffeine working say I have my system as soon as I get on the road. Everything's gonna mellow out and zoom in.

You keep looking down and presumably talking to someone you think you see. Could you tell us who you think you see?

It's Greg Gazoo. He was Fred Flintstone's friend, and now he's my friend. He's gonna help me race today. And it's a really great day to race with Greg Gazoo. He's a Flintstone's character. And it's not that. And he's not Greg Gazoo. And I don't know who it is. And I don't know what's going on. But I do know I'm born to race and cars fast on the track.

And Mr. Yogurt, we have a surprise we have brought in right here. We have your wife who just wanted to give you a big kiss before the race.

Okay, and I'm gonna plant a big kiss right on the mouth and I don't even give a... Not me, not me, not me, not me. Run and start... I'm your brother, I'm your brother, I'm your brother, I'm your brother, I'm your brother.

Always nice to meet a fan.

Always nice to meet a fan that's nice to toss to your hair. Big pot of chicken. And let's get in the car and kiss my wife on the road.

He's getting in the refrigerator. He's getting in the refrigerator. It does sound like something started.

Oh my god, he's going so fast.

Is the fridge racing around the track?

What was that old, like, Hanna-Barbera cartoon with the, like, wacky racers?

Oh, All-Star Racers? Yeah, yes. Wacky... Was it Wacky Racers? Yeah. I don't know.

It feels like something like that, from that, where there would be a person who gets into a fridge and, like, races around it.

Yes, where it was, like, Grape Ape. Yes, I don't remember. Snidely Whiplash and the other guy.

Was Snidely Whiplash from that? Is Snidely Whiplash the one that would tie you onto a train track?

Here's the thing, I can't remember, you're 100% right in terms of describing one of the people. I can't remember if the guy with the mustache who was like the evil train track guy, if he was Snidely Whiplash or if his dog was Snidely Whiplash. Because he had a dog who was like evil and would cover his mouth and go hee hee hee hee hee hee. I can't remember which was which.

Is that Dudley Do-Right? That's Dudley Do-Right. And thank you for joining us on this episode of what the fuck are they talking about from a thousand years ago? Fuck.

Erin, have you seen any Hanna-Barbera? No. You gotta watch Wacky Races or whatever it's called.

I will. It's really fun. I guess I remember it from Cartoon Network, I think, when I was a kid, where they would play just old shit, right? This was from the 60s, right? Yes, yeah.

They'd play a lot of old stuff. And then they'd play Space Ghost or C-Lab, and it was old shit but also made new. Erin, one of my favorite Hanna-Barbera cartoons was a large gentleman called Grape Ape. Do you want to guess what his catchphrase was?

Could I be a smaller ape, please? Am I close?

Was it kiss my big red ass I'm stealing these newspapers?

Yeah.

Would you believe it was Grape Ape?

Oh.

That's all he said. Just his name. It's sort of a Groot situation.

Classic. Or a Pokemon. Like a proto-Pokemon.

Like a proto-Pokemon. Yeah. Should we do... A voice mail? Should we do a voice mail?

Yeah, I'd love that. Today I'm writing to you from the dear near future. Things here haven't exactly been super, but while I could bitterly blab about the burning earth and blame billionaire losers, instead I digress to discuss something lunar. See, something occurred in the post-nuclear confusion. He, J.P. Riddles, devised a solution. A space shuttle built with glue and used Q-tips, and now his raccoon moon colony is booming. We've just heard word from their communication station. They've made a breakthrough innovation. They get blazed and play Beyblade for recreation and claim they've eliminated all anger and frustration. And if you'd like to join them for a little bit of fun, then in 2031, dial 1-805-RI-DDLE-1. Wow! That was incredible. And that was, yeah, I also love, love putting the number in there so I don't have to. That was another one from Jesse Bloodgood. I feel like we've had like five from Jesse. Thank you so much for submitting. And hey, if you've never submitted before, now is your fucking time. Don't, don't let Jesse Bloodgood do all the submissions. Hrrpodcast at gmail.com, 30 seconds or less as a WAV file.

Hey Clue Crew. My partner of 10 years and I are getting married and we're having trouble trying to figure out a venue. First of all, congratulations. That's outstanding. Congratulations! Congratulations!

Second of all, it sounds like they are lovers of creatures.

Well, it sounds like they're lovers of each other first.

First and foremost. My apologies. Would a petting zoo be nuts? Because that way... Here's the thing. If I got married at a zoo or an aquarium or something, I think the whole time I would be like, the animals being around us is neat, but I want to touch them. Yeah. And I feel like a petting zoo allows you to do that, and your friends and family. So I would say maybe a petting zoo.

The idea of a zoo is awesome. I remember when I was in eighth grade, we did like a zoo lock-in and we slept, the place where we slept in the zoo was in like the dolphin enclosure. And dolphins don't sleep, so the dolphins like all night were just like in the glass.

Dolphins don't sleep?

They don't really sleep, they like go into like a quasi-sleep mode where they're like still playing and laughing and whatever. So it's, yeah. I do that when I sleep. They do like low power mode because from where they're from, if you go to sleep, like a shark will just eat you, you know? So yeah, I feel like I'll always be like moving. But if you could do your wedding ceremony in a dolphin show and maybe have like a dolphin marry you or like the you ask for the rings and the dolphins come out of the water and they've got the rings on their little bottlenose snouts or whatever. I mean, that's come on. Come on.

I, here's my one bit of advice of something to consider. I'd say consider the smell.

Consider the coconut, consider its leaves.

Consider the lobster.

Moana. The island gives us what we need, Erin.

And no one leaves. Also, I do think an aquarium will photograph better. I think that will look more beautiful, and I also think it will smell a little bit better than a zoo. But if you have an aversion to fish smells, maybe avoid the aquarium. I vote aquarium or petting zoo, like Adal said.

Is an aquarium going to wreak havoc on people's hair?

Yeah. You think they're going to dunk it?

Because everyone's going to try and talk to the fish, right?

Here's the other thing. You know what? We're all making great points. Why don't you get married in front of a green screen and then you can get married wherever you want. Oh yeah, we were married on the freaking moon.

This is brilliant. You can change your mind all the time. You can change your mind all the time about where you got married. It can be zoo, aquarium, zoo, aquarium, zoo, aquarium. Every anniversary change where it was.

Solved. You got married during the Coen Brothers' Big Lebowski?

Big, big red solved stamp. We need that for every voicemail from now on. Solved.

Solved.

You've been solved.
