This is a HeadGum Podcast.

Adal

Goody Goodwill, you stand accused of witchcraftery, witch, witchcraftery. You're a witch.

JPC

She's a witch!

Adal

Yes, yes, everyone. Everyone shout.

Erin

And I know, I know, I'm not trying to talk anyone out of the choice you've clearly all made. Is this, and I'm not, this is not me assuming anything bad about you guys, obviously. Is this? Because I own property and I know how to read and write.

Adal

She's a witch!

Erin

She's a witch! Right, okay.

Adal

Let us read the accusations against you. Yeah, please. 13 nights ago you donned a silk scarf.

00:01:02

Erin

And how did you, how do you guys think it looked? Was I pulling it off? I was trying to go for like one of those like French sort of neck things with like an oversized white button down.

Adal

French.

Erin

French. French.

Adal

French.

Erin

French. French. I don't think I was pulling it off. You're right. Okay. That one I will stand accused of.

JPC

She's a French witch. The next piece of evidence. You're two inches taller than me. A man.

Erin

Yeah.

JPC

Oh, witch. Witch. She's a witch.

Erin

She's a witch. Puberty hit us different, huh?

Adal

The next piece of evidence is that seemingly on your huge swath of- But I can see your bald spot.

Erin

Sorry to backtrack. But the good news is I can see the little bald spot. She gave it to me!

JPC

She gave it to me! She did it! Another witch! Another witch! I wish I had.

Adal

She did that to me! Yes, and I can't get an erection because of her! She's a witch!

JPC

Today we're

00:02:11

Erin

If you want to live to be so old and basically a bag of dust.

Adal

Goody goodwill. We have taken a raise of hands. We've decided you're a witch. You can choose how we dispatch of you.

Erin

Oh, uh, just one more thing. Before you send me off, kick me off into the lake and shoot a arrow into my neck or whatever. I feel like I have the insides of a mouse. Impossible for a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage. Impossible. Um, that's from Cinderella.

Adal

That's from Cinderella? No.

00:03:11

Erin

Hit it, Arnie.

???

Hit it, Arnie. Welcome to another spooky Halloween episode. Hit it Arnie!

Adal

That's right, it's another spooky Halloween. This is Bleh Riddle Riddle number 9. No. Number 9? Number 9? Number 9?

Erin

Adal, can we fudge the numbers?

Adal

I have a picture in my head of what that means. What do you think it means?

00:04:12

JPC

Fudging the numbers. Me jerking off to a picture of David Krumholz from 2005.

Erin

Okay, well now what am I gonna say?

Adal

Anything you say fails in comparison.

JPC

Yeah, I don't know what you could say. I know what I shouldn't have said. I don't know what you could say.

Erin

Adal, that makes me feel scared that it's been nine years. That actually is the scariest thing of Halloween is every year we've been doing this for one more year and then you say the number and that number seems so high.

Adal

It really does feel like we were- Ah-choo!

JPC

Oh.

Erin

And you can keep that.

JPC

Erin raised her hand in the air like she was about to say her hit signal, signal, signal.

Erin

Single. Signal.

JPC

Signaled out.

Erin

Please request that at all your local radio stations.

JPC

And here's Kelly Clarkson with her big sneeze.

Erin

Huzzah! Do not let Kelly Clarkson cover your sneezes, because she's just going to do it better, and it's going to sound better, and everyone's going to say that she sounds better sneezing your sneeze.

00:05:13

JPC

Yeah, she really does. And Kelly Clarkson should cover her own sneezes. Sneeze into the elbow, Kelly Clarkson, or into the shirt, okay?

Erin

Because I chew. Okay, Adal, can I have a point for that?

Adal

Yes, absolutely. A point, what do you mean? Do you sneeze you being gone? That's a point over there. Why? Sneeze you Vince Vaughn. You do both get points.

Erin

Behind these bloodshot eyes.

JPC

What does bloodshot have to do with sneezing?

Erin

Like you have a cold.

JPC

Thanks for watching!

Adal

Mummy, mummy, mummy, spiders, spiders, spiders, give me such a fright. A ghoul terrifies, haunted doll hair giveaway. Based on the tome, Adaltood, my death, and riddies, and fuzzies, Undead Adal writes a check.

Erin

Undead Adal writes a check.

???

Mummy, mummy, mummy, spiders, spiders, spiders, give me such a fright. A ghoul terrifies, haunted doll hair giveaway. A ghoul terrifies, haunted doll hair giveaway. Based on the tome, Adaltood, my death, and riddies, and fuzzies, Undead Adal writes a check.

00:06:25

JPC

Undead Adal writes a check. Undead Adal writes a... What would a ghoul write? Is it too late to add something? To like just add one more thing that we're adding from nine years in? Undead Adal writes a...

Adal

It's like a spooky check.

JPC

What's like a spooky check?

Adal

It's like a COD.

JPC

I don't want to say that you write a ghost, right? You gotta write something better. It's gotta be better than just saying ghost.

Erin

What about like pile of pennies?

Adal

Because they're not accepted anywhere. Undead Adal cashes in at a coin star.

JPC

Undead Adal uses a coin star. Let me write this down. Okay, that's actually good. That's actually good. I'm glad we stayed on it. Coin star.

Adal

Coinstar is the spookiest of all things.

JPC

Of all things. Of all things.

Adal

Of all things. So many people have touched a Coinstar and then it's handling pennies, which so many people have touched.

JPC

Yeah, yeah, that's right. Nasty. Nasty business.

Adal

You know what else is nasty business is Spirit Halloween Store. Now, Spirit Halloween Store has a nasty business of still selling costumes of licensed characters and properties that they don't have the license to. Have you heard of this? Have you seen this?

00:07:42

JPC

Can I give a peek behind the curtain? We do this every year. I should know what's coming up. There is a way for me to cheat at this game. It's been so long and I've never been able to Google this ahead of time, even though I totally could. Oh God, I feel like such a moron every time this comes up and I'm like, I could have done this. I could have done this on my own. I didn't. I just chose not to.

Erin

I know that this episode is technically coming up. You should keep an eye out for it September, early October. And I never do. I should get hit by a car or call out sick or move to the moon before I have to do the movie trailers again. Do you know what I mean? I just know I'm going to have to wrap this episode and I should have hit under my house. I don't know, something.

???

Hit under my house.

JPC

Well, we can't find Erin. Have we checked under her house? That's insane.

Erin

No, no, no, no, no. Just do the episode.

Adal

So it sounds like you haven't heard about what Spirit Halloween stores are doing?

JPC

Nah. I thought we were doing like the top 10 costumes of 2026.

00:08:44

Adal

My good sir, we've done that before and I would continue to do it, but I thought of a new game. Oh no. Called That's the Spirit. Now, like I said, Spirit Halloween Store will continue to sell costumes for characters with IP that they did not get the licensing for. So, for example, they might sell a costume in a bag that's titled Mushroom Queen, and that would be Princess Peach.

JPC

Ah, Princess Peach. Okay. Of course. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that was an example, but you gotta admit, I was right there for it.

Erin

Sir, I was listening respectfully.

Adal

Very good, Erin. You can go home early.

Erin

Thank you!

JPC

Wait, no, not before the rap part though, right? She still has to do that.

Adal

Oh, she'll be back for the rap. Oh, good. They also sell a bag with a costume titled Purple Man, and that would be the musician Prince.

Erin

Prince. Okay. I was going to say Wario.

JPC

I was going to say Wario too.

Erin

Or Waluigi.

JPC

I'm glad you're synced up because you will be working together for this game called That's the Spirit.

00:09:57

Adal

So what I'm going to do is I'm going to pretend that you two are the head honchos at Spirit Halloween.

JPC

Okay.

Adal

And I'm going to give you a licensed character in pop culture and you have to spirit-fy them. I don't know if that verb works. I like this. You have to put them through the Spirit Halloween filter and come up with a sort of generic name for them to be used when selling the item.

JPC

Can I just say, Adal, I love this so much because it does not involve me using my brain, which is bad. It involves me using it to solve something. It involves me using my creative part, which is the only good part of my brain that I have. So I'm really interested in this.

Erin

And Adal, can I tell you why I love this? It's because you came up with it and you're so smart. I don't want to work with her.

JPC

I don't want to work with her. She's a fucking brown noser. I don't want to work with her. Can this game be against each other?

Adal

Erin's a brown noser? Nice try. Erin, 100 points to you.

Erin

Thank you.

Adal

Okay, so we'll be coming up with this together. I'll give you just a few seconds to come up with that and then we'll determine points from there. So first one you have to come up with a generic name for to sell the costume is Garfield.

00:11:07

JPC

Garfield. Monday Orange Fat Cat.

Adal

Okay, okay.

Erin

I was going to say catitude with a bad attitude.

Adal

Okay.

Erin

But I like JPCs better. We get fought out of ice once a year to come up with these names. We only work 10 hours a year.

JPC

Lasagna boy? Lasagna cat? Lasagna cat. Well, what if a cat is almost too much close to the property?

Erin

Lasagna... not a dog.

JPC

Lasagna not a dog sounds like... This person's Lasagna Non Grata.

Adal

My name? My name is Lasagna Not a Dog.

JPC

They call me Lasagna Not a Dog and I'm not a dog, you know? A point for each of you. Oh, a point for each of us.

Adal

The next costume you have to come up with is Guy Fieri.

00:12:15

JPC

Meat sweats.

Adal

A point for each of you.

Erin

Spikey hot sauce.

Adal

Yes, very good. A point for each of you.

JPC

Spikey hot sauce.

Adal

Now Erin, this is incredible because now I want to give you business cards that say Spikey hot sauce. Attorney at... Attorney at.

JPC

Attorney at. Attorney at. What could you be an attorney at?

Adal

Attorney at. We'll circle back to that.

Erin

I'm also thinking of another name for him. What about Geiners, Geiven, and Geis?

JPC

I thought you said Geinos. Erin, do not say Geiners to me, okay? Why? I refuse to allow someone to say Geiners to me.

Erin

Okay, all of a sudden you have standards for life.

00:13:16

Adal

What about a generic costume name for Miss Piggy?

Erin

Um... Horny Puppet? Bigwig Frog Girlfriend.

JPC

Bigwig... Can we do Horny Frog Girlfriend?

Adal

Yeah, we'll accept that.

JPC

Horny Frog Girlfriend.

Adal

That's a point for each of you. Thank you. Okay, thank you. The Minions. The Minions in general.

Erin

Sentient Twinkies.

Adal

Nailed it.

JPC

Sentient Twinkies. Oh, I love sentient Twinkies. That's so fucking good.

Adal

How about Austin Powers?

Erin

Dallas.

Adal

Dallas. Dallas. Another city in Texas, of course.

JPC

Dallas. Dallas Abilities? Yeah, Dallas Abilities, right? Dallas Abilities. The name's Dallas. Dallas Abilities.

Adal

Okay, we do need to see a scene. Of course, during this Bleh Riddle Riddle, you can win a scene. That is possible. We're gonna have both of you show up to a costume party, and both of you, wouldn't you know it, bought the same costume of Dallas Abilities, and you're having a bit of a tiff.

00:14:29

???

Tear the forms across the land.

Erin

Oh yes, cutie. Yeah, cutie.

JPC

Oh, bee, hey, what the hell?

Erin

Huh? Ow, ow.

JPC

Ow, wait, what? Come here, come here. Open this door. Both of us duck in.

Erin

What the heck? I told you I was going to be Dallas Abilities.

JPC

I'm

Erin

First of all, we agreed at the, when we had a, it was a mediator who usually only does divorces, but for us did an exception.

00:15:34

JPC

at the breakup session that we would be civil when it came to this year's Halloween party, okay? You know that my favorite movie is Dallas Abilities. It's about the 80s.

Erin

It's my favorite movie too. And when we were in our first date. The 80s detective. Yeah, you tell me what it's about. It's about the 80s detective. Great, explain to me a movie I've already seen.

JPC

Okay, alright. Look, it's both of our favorite movies, okay? It's the first movie we kissed to. It's the second movie we fucked to. Don't act like you're the only one who cares about Dallas abilities.

Erin

You used to like that about me. And every year for our anniversary, I would buy us tickets to go see it at the music box.

JPC

Don't you dare. Don't you dare.

Erin

But now you're gonna go see it with, what, Carol?

JPC

First of all, I'm not going to see it with Carol because her husband took her back. Stupid.

Adal

Give him the points.

Erin

Give him the points.

Adal

JBC, 50 points to you. Oh yes, I love points. Erin, you would have also gotten 50 points, but I do have to knock you for

00:16:37

JPC

Jesus Christ, don't knock her.

Adal

You mentioned Carol as someone on the receiving end of desire, and I don't think anyone named Carol deserves love.

Erin

I totally understand that, but I do want to say I was about to mention that she was like 40 years his. Hey,

JPC

That took such a dark turn. I was just not expecting how dark that turn would be.

Erin

But I'm happy because this just feels good because I do want JBC to get the points and I don't want to hinder his points. Do you know what I mean? That's for Erin.

Adal

100 points to you for being so selfless.

Erin

Yeah, but can you take some points away from me not being a comedian anymore? We'll talk. We'll talk.

00:17:38

Adal

Okay.

Erin

We'll talk.

Adal

Let's take a quick break. We'll talk turkey and we'll be right back with more Bleh Riddle Riddle.

JPC

Uncle Adal goes to a coin star. Bleh Riddle Riddle. This episode is brought to you by Podcast Advertising for Game.

Erin

Guess what guys? This ad is basically a turducken ad. This is a meta ad inside of an ad inside of an ad that we're doing because we are talking about podcast advertising the game.

JPC

Wait, the party game of improvised podcast ad reads, fake brands, and real laughs? 60 seconds to pitch a product that doesn't exist on a podcast you've never hosted while working in a note from the client? You can sell the advertiser, match the podcast, survive the client notes? That game?

Erin

Uh, yeah. 54 cards, 2 to 16 players and party team, or tournament mode, ages 13 plus. All the rules fit on one card. No signups, no onboarding calls, no research. Just three cards and some nerve to make up a funny fake ad.

00:18:46

Adal

Yes, this is a podcast ad for a game about podcast ads. Art imitates life.

???

Erin, give me a word, any word. Turducken.

Adal

Turducken. JPC, give me a word, any word. Turducken. Hey, this is an ad for turducken turducken, etc. And that's how it works.

JPC

One more time, that's podcast advertising the game on Amazon and at podcastadgame.com.

Adal

But this ad is not a game. Get the game.

Erin

This ad was a turducken.

Adal

Now I'm hungry.

Erin

Guys, I'm so tired. I've been cooking so much for Friendsgiving and Thanksgiving. I can't summon the energy to cook on a regular night. I can't do it. Can't do it, won't do it.

00:19:47

Adal

Erin, it looks like you just put a bunch of Skittles in the oven.

JPC

Yeah, well... I love Erin's Skittle stuffing. Oh, please tell me you're making Skittle stuffing again this year.

Erin

Too tired. Can't do it.

JPC

Well, Erin, why don't you take a break from that and start using Tempo? Tempo delivers fresh, chef-crafted, dietician-approved meals right to your door. It's making it easy to eat well and save time on your busiest days, Erin.

Adal

Erin, even just hearing the word Tempo is making my mouth water because of two of my recent favorite meals from Tempo. The Spicy Queso Shredded Chicken Bowl with Fiesta Cauliflower, yes please, and the Sassy Barbecue Pulled Pork and Potatoes with Cheesy Corn and Butternut Squash. And I know what you're thinking.

JPC

It doesn't sound like any of those meals have Skittles in them. The best part about Tempo is you can add Skittles to every meal. You just gotta go buy Skittles and dump them in your Tempo meals.

Erin

And no matter your goals, there's a Tempo meal for you. Protein packed meals with over 30 grams of protein, fiber rich, calorie conscious, gut support, and even GLP-1 smart meals.

00:20:49

JPC

It's convenient, but also flexible enough to fit the way you want to eat. Say you want to eat something that's fresh, fast, and delicious, but you also want to cover it in a big bag of Skittles that you bought at the store years ago.

Erin

I don't think the good chefs over at Tempo recommend adding candy to... No, no, no.

JPC

They don't recommend it.

Adal

They don't recommend it. But they don't stop you from doing it. That's the best part. You're limited by your imagination, but don't take it from us.

JPC

Hey everybody, it's JPC. Well, it happened again. I was in the market for a weather balloon, I had stopped at a roadside weather balloon stand, and as I was browsing, kind of the new weather balloons, the 2026s, the 2027s that have just kind of hit the lot, they release in fall of the previous year, I got all of my clothes snagged on a weather balloon, and the dang thing took off and took all of my clothes with it. So, completely naked, and I'm thinking to myself, JPC, why does this keep happening to you? And then I thought, well, it doesn't matter, my friend, because you can go to Quince. Quince focuses on high-quality wardrobe staples made with premium materials like 100% Mongolian cashmere, organic cotton, and merino wool. The styles are timeless, versatile, and designed to become the dependable pieces you reach for day after day. And I'll be honest with you, I put on this 100% Mongolian cashmere sweater and this thing is not breaking the bank. It starts at just $60. And I thought, there's no way this thing gets snagged on another weather balloon and pulls all my clothes off up into the sky to who knows where. And when temperatures start to drop, it's more important Thanks for watching! Get free shipping on your order and 365-day returns now available in Canada and the UK too. And when quints ask where you heard about them, let them know it was Hey Riddle Riddle and more specifically, it was JPC who got all his clothes stolen by a weather balloon. It's the best way to support the show.

00:23:35

Adal

And we're back. And I think it's time, I don't know, maybe all this talk about the movie Dallas Abilities makes me want to hear about more movies. So I think we're going to play a little something that we like to call Trailer Damn Near Killed Her. Hell yeah.

Erin

You guys remember how to play this? It's so funny that this was named before we've ever played it, because I do think it takes years off of my life every time I've done it.

Adal

You go for a physical exam, a yearly exam, and the doctor's like, I don't understand, you're aging rapidly. What are you eating? You're eating perfectly healthy.

JPC

A doctor saying what happened to you is so funny. It's so funny.

Adal

I'm going to give you the titles of two movies each round. You will pick one of those and you're going to give us a trailer for that made-up scary movie within two minutes. Now you're going to have to do the voiceover up top. You're going to have to play all the characters. You're going to work the title in, either as a voiceover or a character saying it. You might give us the cast of the movie at the end. Sing a popular song, but in a slow, haunted way, as movie trailers are wont to do.

00:24:48

JPC

Can I tell you the hardest part about this game? The hardest part about this game is remembering the title that was given to you when you started the game.

Erin

There's a reason that God blessed us with beautiful complex brains but then also invented the pencil.

Adal

Yes.

Erin

Yeah, I'm also not trying to like pretend I don't like I'm not trying to like iron back and go to find old jokes that once were funny. I genuinely something happens to me in my blood when we play this and it fills me with such panic and shock. And it's so hard to keep the name. But today I'm gonna I'm gonna keep it.

Adal

Erin, hearing you talk about how devastating it is to play the movie title game makes me want to possibly skip this game and go to something maybe a little more comfortable, which would be Rap 4 Daddy. No, no, no, I love it.

00:25:53

Erin

Okay, no, you're right. You're right about the movie game. Let's do it. I was just thinking about the movie game and I just thought about how easy and how much I want to play. That's so fun. Adal, that's so crazy. I was just about to say the same thing about us staying with the movie game. I'm ready.

Adal

Erin, to give you some amount of control, would you like to go first or second?

Erin

I'll go first. Let's get it. Not over with.

JPC

Let's get it. Let's get it. And Casey just edited it so that Erin goes, let's get it.

Adal

Erin, your two movie titles, your options are My American Poison, play on My American Cousin, and Guys and Haunted Dolls.

Erin

I'll do Guys and Haunted Dolls.

Adal

This is a trailer for the upcoming horror film, Guys and Haunted Dolls.

Erin

When you see a guy Reach for stars in the sky Coming this October You can bet that he's doing it for some A musical brought back to death after 70 years or something. Nathan, Nathan, you got a gambling problem. We have to find a place to hold the game. No problem. The guys in this are normal and alive. Let's make a bet. Me, Nathan, Not Philean. Detroit. And you, Sky Masterson, that you have to bet... I just don't remember the optics. I don't know what is the mechanics of this bet. We're going to make a bet. You have to ask a girl out and I get to pick the girl. No problem. I'm Sky Masterson. I'm a gambler. I can get any girl in the world to like me. Any girl? Yeah, any girl. What about her? No, not her. That's scary. There's something off about her eyes.

00:28:19

Adal

This trailer is just the first five minutes of the movie.

Erin

There's something not right. Is the trailer going to say um and then uh? Marlon Brando. Frank Sinatra. Reprise their roles as Nathan Detroit and Skye Masterson.

???

I think this movie's AI.

Erin

If I were alive, I'd say help, help, help, help, help.

Adal

See? Very good, Erin. Very good job.

Erin

Guys and haunted dolls coming to theaters this October 10th.

JPC

Wow.

Erin

Right in time for Halloween.

JPC

Wow, Erin, you did it. And you remembered the title, which is, again, as we said, the hardest fucking part.

Erin

I forgot to introduce one of the main characters. But I was trying to think.

Adal

Erin, I'm going to give you 80 points because you did a tremendous job, but I think you were showing the first five minutes of the movie.

00:29:24

Erin

But that's what trailers do nowadays, do they not?

Adal

Yeah, but I don't like it.

Erin

Oh, okay.

Adal

I like you and I like what you did, but I think with the trailers I want an overview.

JPC

I'm going to give you a point because I think the trailers nowadays, they spoil way too much of the movie. I would much rather just see a five minute chunk of the movie. I'd much rather see that in a trailer. I think that's the perfect way to do a trailer.

Adal

Well, JPC, you'll have a chance to.

JPC

No, I'm going to do it the right way, but I do think that Erin's way was perfect, and I love that for her, and I love that she didn't get any points for it or whatever. I'm going to do it the way Adal likes it, because I'm playing the game, but I just want to say, you know, for Erin, to make her feel nice.

Adal

JBC, your two movie titles to choose from are Jack-O-Lantern, a bit of a stretch, but a play, or Spider Inside Her. Which is just sort of a title and not a play on anything.

JPC

I'm gonna do, is the first one Jack O' Intern?

Adal

It's Jack O' Intern. The other one is Spider Inside Her.

00:30:24

JPC

Jack O' Intern.

Adal

This is a trailer for the upcoming horror film, Jack O' Intern.

JPC

This Halloween, horror comes. To the White House. President Trump, I'm here for your, I'm here for your daily diaper change. Laura Loomer as the intern.

???

Oh, Mr. Trump, it looks like you've done a big stinky.

JPC

And introducing in his acting debut as President Donald Trump. Jelly Roll.

???

Oh, and baby, it looks like I did a big stinky in my diaper. I guess you're gonna have to get this thing off of you.

Erin

Oh, baby, I guess just... Stands up in the movie theater, goes to the ticket counter. Start clapping, start clapping, start clapping. No, no, no, no, no, no. Goes to the ticket counter.

00:31:29

JPC

Chief of Staff. Chief of Sta... Shut up, Erin. Chief of Staff. Kevin Sorbo, Mr. President, getting you out of that diaper is going to be a Herculean effort. Whole audience applauds, applauds about that. He was a Hercules.

Erin

No, I'm filing everyone out of the theater.

JPC

And introducing as Vice President J.D. Vance, James Woods. Hey, it's me, James Woods. I'm Vice President J.D. Vance. I got an Indian wife and I got a square little face. I'm James Woods. This Halloween, the scariest thing that could ever be is a look inside what actually is. Oh, Mr. President, another stinky for me to clean. Jacko, intern. Let's see. Thank you.

Adal

Beautiful. Thank you. Okay, I'm going to say... I'm going to say 65 points. Okay, great. Very good job. You did it just how I like it. I think the... You did it just how I like it. I think a lot of... There's too many dumps happening to where I start to get queasy.

00:32:40

JPC

I see movies in 40X a lot, and I feel like... Yeah, they really make you feel the dumps.

Erin

Isn't it interesting that we're kind of living that movie in 40X every day?

JPC

Huh.

Erin

Something to think about.

JPC

I don't like to get too political on this show, but the guy is definitely shitting his pants, right? You've seen the videos of people in the same room as him just with a horrible grimace on their face all of the sudden. The guy's shitting his pants. He's shitting his pants. And look, it's fine. He's like in his 80s. You're going to shit your pants when you're in your 80s.

Erin

He's like a father to me.

JPC

It's fine. He's one of my best friends. He's one of my best friends. I can say this. He's a friend.

Adal

Erin, how would you feel about doing another round, but you and JPC doing a trailer together?

Erin

I love it. And this time I'm actually going to take your note and I'm not going to do that thing where they show five minutes of the movie.

JPC

And you think, and maybe Erin and I can combine styles, I'm going to do all of my right wing, well I guess mine was more like anti-right wing stuff because it was kind of showing them in a bad light.

00:33:42

Adal

Also, I can only picture Kevin Sorbo in leather pants and a tunic shirt.

JPC

He needs to be or else that Herculean effort joke doesn't really fit.

Adal

I was like, what else has he been in? I think I've only seen him in Hercules. Fuck, James Woods is in Hercules. God damn it. Oh shit, you're right.

JPC

The other Hercules, but god damn it.

Adal

He's Hades. Here are the options for the two of you to do a movie trailer together. Okay. Great. Other Mummy, a play on the horror film Other Mommy, which is a real title.

JPC

Oh, interesting.

Adal

Night Married and Grim Reaper Madness. Other Mummy, Night Married, Grim Reaper Madness.

Erin

I'm thinking Other Mummy.

JPC

Other Mummy? That sounds good to me, Erin. Other Mummy? Okay.

Erin

Yeah.

Adal

Here's the trailer for the upcoming horror film, Other Mummy.

???

I was working in the lab late one night. Choo-choo. Ah-ah-ah. Choo-choo.

00:34:50

???

Ah-ah-ah.

Erin

Lisa, what are you doing down there in the basement? Are you playing video games or something? Come up for family dinner.

JPC

I'll be up soon, Mom. I just found something.

Erin

Okay, well, the electricity is flickering in the house. You're using too much power on your video games or stupid science experiments down there. You know me, your mother, doesn't believe in science, right?

JPC

First, there was Brendan Fraser.

???

What?

JPC

Then, there was Tom Cruise. None of those really worked out kind of the way we wanted, especially the Tom Cruise one. So, this Halloween, we have other mummy.

Erin

Okay, going in different directions.

JPC

Um, excuse me? Sir, you're all wrapped in toilet paper.

00:35:52

Erin

Are you okay? Introducing the scariest monster since Freddy? What's his last name? The guy from the famous horror one.

JPC

Freddy? He doesn't have a last name.

Erin

He has a last name.

JPC

Oh, does he?

Erin

Does he?

JPC

What?

Erin

He's one name.

JPC

He's like my dogma? Yeah, if you say Freddy in a horror content... What year is it? Um, it's 2026. 2026. Then I've been dead for 8,000 years.

Erin

A mummy comes out of nowhere, stabs this vampire in the heart with a wooden stake. That guy was pretending to be me, kid. Wait, you're the mummy? I'm the mummy.

JPC

This is a mummy's voice?

Erin

Yep.

JPC

Third mummy comes out of a closet, stabs this mummy with a mummy-stabbing sword.

00:36:55

Erin

And I am a mummy.

JPC

Does it work? Because... Does it work? Well, it does work because you're just a normal guy. Sword kills a guy.

Erin

I wish I was a zombie. Bye.

Adal

See, wow.

Erin

Wait, no, no, no, no, no. Wow.

JPC

We're not even halfway through the trailer.

Erin

We're not even halfway through the trailer.

JPC

Sit your ass down and learn. Sit down, Adal.

Erin

And learn something. Sit down, Adal.

JPC

Boo this man. Everyone boo until he sits down.

???

Boo. Sit down. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit. Sit.

???

Sit. Sit.

???

I've been dead for 8,000 years. Which means I've got a lot of partying to catch up on.

Erin

Honey, who are you talking to? It sounds a lot like a vampire.

JPC

What does a mummy sound like, mummy?

Erin

Oh, I haven't talked in so long. Everything's so dry.

JPC

Then why didn't you do that?

Erin

I don't know. Mama said there'd be days like this, there'd be days like this.

???

I was working in the lab late one night.

00:37:58

Erin

Um, can we be- Other Mummy. Can- Adal, I would like you to be our boss.

JPC

Is it over?

Erin

Yeah, it's over. You can stand up.

JPC

Hey Adal, hey Adal, hey Adal, you have to admit- You have to admit you hate us. Not once did we forget what the name of that was. Not once. You must admit.

Erin

Adal, can you be both of our bosses and you're sort of going to be a mediator with us talking about how that trailer went.

Adal

Yeah, just have a seat here. So we just wanted to unpack this because this is the first time people have asked for a refund based on a trailer. A lot of AMCs are reporting that whatever movie they're going to see, they love, but they get a full refund based on this trailer specifically, which they say ruined their day.

JPC

Riddle Riddle It was like a slowed down, spooky version of the Monster Mash.

00:39:13

Erin

And I did one that was like, Mama said there'd be days like this, but Mummy said, so I thought, this is great, we can do sort of a Frankenstein, where someone reanimates a new mom in their basement in the lab, right? So I thought it was going to be, but I think that GBC immediately heard Mummy and went, the movie The Mummy, right?

JPC

And one of the other issues, I think, is that

Erin

Oh yeah, go ahead. I'll circle back to what I was saying later.

JPC

Rachel and I are both vying for the same job, right? So to put us on the same team to do this movie kind of feels like a little bit like, you know, we're working against each other and we're working with each other. You know what I'm saying?

Adal

Yeah, my thought process? My thought process was that the cream would rise to the top, that you two would pull out the best in each other. But what happened was you two tried to stab each other in the neck at every turn. Yeah.

Erin

With zombie swords and vampire sticks.

JPC

Yeah. And then if I'm being 100% honest, what actually had happened is that we got so at each other's throats that we were like, oh my God, we hate each other. Is there a spark here? We briefly investigated it. It was not good.

00:40:28

Erin

Dry hand jobs in an elevator on the way up here.

JPC

It was minutes ago. It was minutes ago. Which elevator? We had a couple, we had a couple. I'll just take the stairs. Yeah, I'd take the stairs. Don't say I had to get off. I'd skip the 31st floor.

Erin

And the 69th.

JPC

And the 69th, I'd skip that one as well.

Adal

Guys, listen, this is Francis Ford Coppola's last hurrah, okay? He lost his ass on Megalopolis and he wanted to make a horror film to sort of, you know, reassert his status in Hollywood. Lost his asspolis.

Erin

Welcome back.

???

You know what?

JPC

I'm sick of this. We did our best. We worked blood, sweat, and tears for this company. I have half a mind to quit. Right, Rachel?

00:41:52

Erin

No, I want whatever job.

Adal

Listen, I'll give you one more chance. I'm going to give you two one more chance and we'll see who gets the job. Double the salary, minus 10 days vacation. Giving you two one more chance.

JPC

What is this? Octoon baby?

Adal

Not a terrible album. Let me slide. Three scripts across the desk, and the two of you pick which script you want to work on. Of course, we have Crow vs. Wade. I would touch that one if I were you. Crow vs. Wade, yeah. We also have The Whole 9 Graveyards, and Mandy Mandy Made of Candy. Okay, if we do The Whole 9 Graveyards.

Erin

I need dibs on Mandy Mandy Made of Candy, please.

JPC

Yeah. Let's do Mandy Mandy Made of Candy, and can we just, can I have one second to confer with Rachel before we begin? Yes, of course. Hey, Rachel.

Erin

You have the driest everything I've ever felt.

JPC

Okay, yeah, and I can take that note, and I'm going to talk to my doctor about it because I'm on a new prescription and he thinks maybe it's been drying things out. Here's what I wanted to say to you, though.

???

Sure.

JPC

This one, I think, fuck it, put all the past behind us. We work together. We support each other, okay? We do not let ideas die on the vine. This is called Mandy Mandy Made of Candy.

00:43:01

Erin

Great. And this feels obvious, right?

JPC

Feels so obvious. We got this.

???

I want candy.

Erin

I want candy.

JPC

camera pans from a graveyard to underground to a crypt to a hand coming out of the crypt close up on the hand it's made of lollipops and butterfinger bars You thought she was gone.

Erin

A sequel?

JPC

Yes.

Erin

But she's back and sweeter than ever.

JPC

I want candy. I'm reintroducing Mandy Moore.

00:44:07

Erin

as Mandy Candy, the scariest villain in the 21st century. She... eats candy. She kills kids.

JPC

But that's not all she eats. She also eats... Brains?

Erin

Yes. She's like the witch from Hansel and Gretel, but she's back from the dead and made of candy.

Adal

Scene?

Erin

No, no, no. We're halfway through.

JPC

I'll sit down. Sit down! No booze. No booze. Just sit down. I mean, honestly, that one's on you. Stop saying scene so early because you knew it wasn't over. Of course, my bad.

Erin

This Halloween.

JPC

This Halloween. Mandy Moore. Burt Kreischer.

Erin

His Bert Kreischer's friend, who also is unwatchable.

JPC

Tom Segura? Tom Segura.

00:45:08

Erin

Are gonna give you a cavity because Mandy Mandy is made of candy, is sweeter than ever.

JPC

And featuring Kevin Kline. What the hell am I doing in this picture?

Erin

Revenge is sweet. And Mandy Mandy

???

Revenge is a dish, a candy dish.

Erin

Best served cold.

???

Cold candy. Skittles from the freezer.

Erin

Sugar we're going down swinging. This Halloween go against the graininess of your teeth and eat a little bit of candy. I've got a cavity for you.

JPC

And then full frontal, full frontal, full frontal, full frontal, full frontal. It'll make you scream. It'll make you snicker.

00:46:21

Erin

How many licks does it take to get to the center of this franchise?

JPC

Don't be a goober. See Mandy Mandy made of candy at IMAX. It's a whopper.

Erin

Gummy bear a break. Gummy a break. And watch the movie.

JPC

Speaking of, we should Gummy a break. We should Gummy a break right now.

Adal

Let's Gummy a break and we'll come back with some notes. JPC, Erin, good day. I hope you notice my solid gold clothing. Wow.

Erin

Whoa.

Adal

Clink, clink, clink, clink. It's just I've saved so much money with rocket money. Have you heard? Have you seen?

Erin

Oh, yeah. Rocket Money is a personal finance app that helps find and cancel unwanted subscriptions, monitors your spending, and helps lower your bills so you can grow your savings and buy an awesome outfit made of gold. Adal?

00:47:30

JPC

I mean, yeah, that's truly made of gold. I mean, it looks soft, but heavy.

Adal

Malleable, yes.

JPC

Yeah.

Adal

Is it comfortable? No. But looking good. It looks good. You look great.

Erin

I love Rocket Money. I've been using it since way before they were a sponsor. I love how it consolidates my checking, saving, loans, and investments into a single dashboard and gives me a clear picture of where I'm at. I just moved recently, and I've been loving Rocket Money because it's helping me see how much I'm going over budget in some of my little categories. And I go, oop, I've bought in too many new vases for my new house. My vase budget went a couple hundred over. But that's OK, because I'm saving money by canceling all of my unwanted subscriptions.

JPC

Yeah, you can also set budgets, set goals if you have like big ticket items that you're saving for like further down the road. We're saving for a car right now and it's it's useful to be able to use Rocket Money Plug a little bit away at a time so that hopefully that you will get there when the time is right. And with their regular personalized insights and regular reports, it makes it easier than ever to get a real life picture of where your money's at at any given time.

00:48:37

Adal

So take it from me, add gold, gold fi. Let Rocket Money help you reach your financial goals faster. Join at rocketmoney.com slash riddle. That's rocketmoney.com slash riddle.

Erin

Adel, there's a lightning storm. I didn't pay attention in science class. Are you safe from lightning when wearing all gold? I don't know. I don't know either.

JPC

Let's see what happens. rocketmoney.com slash riddle.

Adal

Come on in, you two. Come on in. First of all, let me just say my fault. My fault for asking you two to work together.

Erin

Thank you for taking the fault.

JPC

Oh my God. Can I marry you? I gotta tell my wife about this. I gotta tell my wife about my fault.

Adal

Here's some of the feedback we got. Okay.

Erin

I'm ready. I'm ready. And I'm actually like, I feel like this is going to roll like water off a duck's back. I'm ready.

00:49:39

Adal

A lot of people complained that you used the device this Halloween too many times, ad nauseam. Okay. Maybe eight or nine times you said, this Halloween. I think that can only be used once or twice.

JPC

This is starting to feel how water on a duck's back tastes. I'll be honest with you.

Adal

Also, the sort of bullet point list of Mandy Mandy made of candy, it was one, she's made out of candy, and two, she kills kids. I feel like we should- Not necessarily that order.

Erin

We can change the order if you don't like the order.

JPC

Can I hear it in the room?

Erin

Can I hear it in the room? She kills kids and she eats candy.

JPC

Yeah, it can be kills kids eats candy if that's your preference.

Erin

She kills kids and eats candy.

Adal

Okay, as one sentence. Okay. She's killing candy and eating kids? And she's all out of candy.

Erin

And she's all out of candy?

Adal

What if she kills candy and eats kids? Is that better for you? Well, we'll let the board decide. Also, speaking of candy, one of the early descriptions when Mandy's bursting out of her grave is that her hand is made out of lollipops and butterfingers, which a lot of people found that combination pretty gross. Yeah, sure.

00:50:54

Erin

It's a horror movie. You want to be grossed out, right?

Adal

Is there something... Is there a better combination of candies her hand could be made out of? Like Tootsie Rolls and Butterfingers.

JPC

We tried that, but racially, that's inappropriate for Mandy Moore. Just so you know. We did think about that.

Erin

We're easily bought. And so these are the candies that specifically wanted product placement in the movie. And for 40X, they have offered to send us smells to pump into the theater to make people feel sick.

Adal

Oh, smell of what?

Erin

They didn't say.

JPC

I'm seeing the email, it smells, it's in quotation marks. So I'm not actually sure what they're going to say.

Erin

They will use the tickler for that. Oh, okay.

Adal

The one glowing note is that people were thrilled to hear normal songs made to sound spooky versus already spooky songs like Monster Bash just sung slower, which is not scary.

Erin

That's not really a note for me.

JPC

That's sort of a note for... It's a note for the room.

Erin

I guess it's the note for the room and someone specific in the room that isn't me.

00:52:07

Adal

Psycho killer, kiss kiss say.

JPC

That's awesome.

Adal

That's not as scary because we already associate psycho killer with psycho killers. So you have to have like a normal song that's slowed down. What did you think about this being a sequel?

Erin

Hear me out. Hear me out. What if to make those scary songs scary, you sing them so happy and sweet? Psycho killer, kiss kiss say. Like Kidz Bop version.

Adal

Yeah.

Erin

Yes.

Adal

Okay. All right.

Erin

And how did you feel about it being a sequel? You loved that?

JPC

Um, yeah. Is this a sequel? Oh, so I'm glad you brought that up because it is not. But it leaves us open to do a prequel. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Franchise opportunity. You do the second in a series first. Now I can go either direction. Oh, you didn't like that movie? Well, let's run it back the other way. Oh, you like that movie too much?

Erin

We run it forward. We run it forward. It gives us the option to be reactive, right?

00:53:09

JPC

Yeah, okay.

Erin

To what people are into.

JPC

Exactly. Exactly. And isn't that what people come to the movies for? Nicole Kidman.

Erin

Nicole Kidman.

Adal

Don't shoot wads of paper to my trash basket.

Erin

That's not paper, my man. That's not paper.

Adal

Come on.

Erin

It's not paper. It's wads, but it ain't paper, chief. All right, we're going to try.

Adal

We're going to try one more time. I'm putting my job on the line. Okay. But we're going to try one more time. Let's keep it light. Let's keep it tight. Here's the script.

JPC

Light and tight. I feel loosey-goosey right now. I feel like we can do it. I feel like we can go the distance on this one.

Erin

I'm ready.

Adal

Okay. There's only one script left and it's a bit of a stinker. There's a reason that we never pursued this. We've had it in our file cabinet for 28 years. Nobody wants to touch it. It's called You've Robot Mail. I guess a play on You've Got Mail. You've Robot Mail. This is what I didn't want to use, but here we are. But I trust the two of you will get your act together. This is a trailer.

00:54:13

Erin

Let's lock in.

Adal

Please for You've Robot Mail. Lock in. You've Robot Mail.

Erin

Can we get you a coffee or anything before we get started? We just want to make sure you're comfortable for this.

Adal

You good? Yeah, I'm good. I think I'll throw up if I, yeah. Yeah, me too.

JPC

I mean, if you throw up, I'll throw up. That's all I meant by that.

Adal

Oh, thank you.

JPC

You've Robot Mail.

???

Somewhere over the rainbow... Don't you love the fall?

Erin

New school supplies. It makes me want to get a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils. I love the falling leaves and the smell of gasoline used to... that we drink every day. It's for robots.

JPC

Fall in New York City. It kind of reminds me of the fall of the humans who've died out so very long ago.

00:55:15

Erin

When do you think we'll meet? Or should we not? This is better left being beeps and boops over emails. And we're the emails and we send the emails from our brains.

JPC

Yeah, I mean, do we need to meet? Because what would we do in person anyway, right? It's just beeps and boops. I mean, it's like, what, am I going to touch your metal cheek or whatever? Are you going to touch my metal ass?

???

Whoa.

Erin

Whoa.

JPC

I'm sorry if I'm being too forward over email. I mean.

Erin

No. Oh, sorry. My robot fiance, Greg Kinnear, is here. I got to go.

JPC

See?

Erin

This fall. Oh, hold on.

JPC

Hold on, Adal. Hold on. We haven't even said Robot Male. I heard it.

Adal

Yeah. Yeah. No, I... Yeah. You're right.

???

No, that's not what it is.

JPC

I panicked. Oh, wait. You've... You've Robot Male. We haven't even said You've Robot Male yet. We haven't even said that part yet. Fucking... God damn it.

Adal

This is unprofessional. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going.

Erin

That's the title, though.

JPC

We said it. What do you mean, keep going? We said it. That's part of the trailer.

00:56:16

Erin

This Halloween. Damn it.

???

You've Robot Male. Tom Hanks, Parker Posey, Meg Ryan, Greg Kinnear are dead.

Erin

They're dead.

JPC

But robots wearing their skin are in this movie. Scene. Scene, thank you. Now, rude interruption aside, what do you think? You want to buy it in the room?

Erin

Guys, don't start a chant.

Adal

You know I love chants.

Erin

Buy it in the room.

???

Yeah, we're all saying it!

Adal

Guys, there's one rule in show business. If you have a movie with robots... Don't fall in love. There's two rules in show business. Don't fall in love, and you can't sell a robot movie without Alan Tudyk. I'm so sorry, I have to let both of you go.

00:57:17

JPC

Wow, that's tough. That is tough to hear. Fair. I mean, it's fair. I don't begrudge you for that.

Adal

I'm giving you both a severance package, which is you're able to write one episode of Severance before you pack up.

JPC

Make it weird.

Erin

Well, here's my gun on your desk.

JPC

I'm going to make mine a Zach Cherry episode.

Adal

Smart, smart. Oh, and there's one thing we have all employees do before you're completely out of the building, which is you do have to rap for Daddy.

Erin

Oh my God, I was so close. I was going to not remind you.

Adal

This is something that harkens back to, you know, when we here at this movie company, we're in sort of the Mad Men era.

JPC

Sure, yeah.

Adal

We would call all the men Daddy, which is super fun.

JPC

Yeah, it's fun. It's sort of a holdover from that. I was always going to remind them.

Adal

So we're going to have you each rap for Daddy. Who would like to go first?

JPC

She's pretending to be dead. Yeah, tongue out of the mouth like a corpse, like a dead corpse. I guess I don't mind going first.

00:58:28

Adal

She's writing the word dead on a sheet of paper and holding it up. Okay. Well, yeah, let's have you go first. We're going to have you wrap in the topic. Let me just think here. Your topic is going to be weird little surgeries.

???

That's scary.

JPC

Welcome to my surgery center. I am a big old sinner. I do things a little differently here. I'm going to give you an extra ear, but it's not going to be where you think it. I'm going to put an ear where I put a trinket. That's right. Riddle Riddle Riddle Ooh.

00:59:29

Erin

Woo.

Adal

I didn't know it was in there.

Erin

That was amazing.

Adal

Now I want a cigarette. Hot damn, maybe we made a mistake firing you. Don't pack up your things just yet. Let's see this out. Oh, you are alive. Okay, you're drinking salt water and gargling to prepare. Okay, your topic is going to be killer clowns.

Erin

Okay. Hold on. Hold on. Okay, hold on, I'm ready. Okay, hold on.

???

You can see why that's two different instructions?

Erin

Yeah, let me, hold on, let me just take a sip of water. I'm ready.

???

Okay. Killer clowns.

Adal

I can't imagine pace jumping with you.

Erin

Clown.

Adal

Okay, I'm ready. Hold on.

Erin

Okay. I'm going to be honest, I'm super down for going on a date with a killer clown. He's a fool, but he's also cool. He's funny, but he's also my honey. He's scary, but he's also wary of my feelings and stuff. I love him. He's a bozo, but he goes oh so slow when he's making love to me every night.

01:00:39

???

Today we're

Erin

I can't, oh god. If I could, I already am, this is the thing I want to delete from the internet the most.

Adal

I need another cigarette. He's a bozo but he goes oh so slow. Okay, yeah. So the big qualm, your big hang up with this killer clown is that he's slow at sex.

JPC

I think my favorite part about this game is that in order to play this game, Casey's playing the rap track so that we can all hear it, but Erin's raw audio file has no rap track whatsoever on it. So what I grab clips from that I mean I got and there's and she can't stop herself because the thing that she uses to protect herself has to be turned off for her to rap like you have to be able to just say whatever comes to your mind it's this is like I know this is a Halloween episode this might as well be my fucking Christmas Well here Erin

01:02:06

Adal

We're going to break out of this scene that we're in the studio. Yeah.

Erin

What just happened?

Adal

Erin, let me... I've given you a lot of tricks.

Erin

I was about to say balloon. He hands me a balloon and he makes me swoon.

Adal

Yeah. No. Here we go. Killer clown part two, Erin. OK.

Erin

Oh. Hands me a balloon and makes me swoon. He throws some confetti, then he cooks me spaghetti. He juggles, he snuggles. He rides a tricycle with a bow tie, and he's my best guy. I have to die. I have to die, you guys.

JPC

Okay, cut the music, cut the music, cut the music. Squirts me with water, then I get hotter.

Adal

Oh yes, of course, of course. Yeah. um balloon animal and then he's it turns me into a balloon animal yeah um Gets out of a car with 20 other guys. Makes me wet between my thighs.

01:03:17

Erin

Yeah, makes me wet between my thighs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Honk, honk on my breasts. This guy is the best. I actually think, can we do a band of you clipping this episode? Things that I'd like to plug. All my air holes so I can't breathe anymore. And I slowly fade away into the darkness. Um, anything, anything, anything I can do to... Are we already at plugs, Erin?

JPC

Did we just go right to plugs? God, I have to imagine we could do more raps. I feel like we have more in the tank. Are we leaving at all?

Erin

I have nothing in the tank.

JPC

She's got nothing in the tank. I fuck a clown and he likes to spank.

Erin

See, you can do it. You have that. We should clip that.

Adal

Squirts water out of his flower. Pounds my ass for an hour.

Erin

See, these are funnier than mine too.

Adal

No, no, no. Yours were phenomenal. Erin, here's the thing. I feel like over the years, this is nine years running. I've given you a lot of trick, and I feel like it's time for a treat. Now, Erin, what I'm going to do, and this is, you know, I'm not going to write this in an email or put pen to paper, but verbally, this is a verbal contract, Erin. I'm going to delete the raps that you just did, so we're going to do another round, just to replace those raps. But we definitely won't use those first two.

Erin

I've never seen someone wink so violently. Have JPC go first. I need a break. I need to hydrate. Okay.

Adal

We're going to do one more round, and then we'll go to the episode, and we'll go to the plugs. JPC, you're going to rap, and your topic is aliens. Aliens.

JPC

What the fuck is that up in the sky? Oh, it's a little gray guy. He comes from a planet called the moon. When he speaks, he makes me swoon. I love his tiny little fingers. He touches me and lets them lingers. Uh-oh, I'm catching feelings. I guess it's sending me reeling. This alien's super sexy. I think I'm going to let him flex me. You know what that means, bend me over, and then stick his Dick in me! Casey Clippett!

???

Casey Clippett! Casey Clippett! Casey Clippett! Phenomenal job.

01:05:57

Adal

Erin, this is the final wrap up, but obviously this will be the first wrap. You're going to do Killer Klowns Part 3. I say Part 3, but I mean Part 1 because we're deleting the first. Yeah.

Erin

Okay. Great. Of course. Yeah. Okay. I have to think of more clown things. Okay.

Adal

Okay. You're ready, Erin. You're ready? Erin, we'll say Killer Klowns Part 3 in hell. So you also have hell to work with. You can do hell or clowns. Hell or clowns. Erin, hell or clowns.

Erin

Oh, thank you, Adal.

Adal

Come hell or high clowns.

Erin

I'm gonna meet my guy in hell. And then he's gonna make me yell. From sex. Throws a pie in my face. High in the sky with a pie in my face. And he eats the pie off my face. Then I eat the pie off his face. Squirt from a flower. Dirt from the ground. We're in hell but heaven, baby. We're in heaven. He brought his rubber chicken. And he's frickin' hot. Tiny car, plays the guitar. Pretty hot, he can play the guitar. Big Apple Circus, Big Apple Squirt This.

01:07:14

???

Oh my God, we have to have shirts that say... Erin, repeat that last line.

Erin

If only I could remember it.

JPC

Can we... We have enough time before this comes out to make shirts that say Big Apple Squirt This.

Adal

Erin, I feel like we're going to start to see the effect of thousands of people changing their dating profiles to Tiny Car Plays Guitar.

JPC

Hey Riddle Riddle, Big Apple Squirt Kiss. Hey Riddle Riddle presents the Big Apple Squirt Kiss. Erin, do you have anything to plug?

Erin

That's going to be it for me, y'all. I told you earlier, I'm not a comedian anymore. And the proof was in the pudding. Thank you for having me on nine years of Hey Riddle Riddle. Wow. What an honor this has been. Adal, my time with you, phenomenal. JPC, terrified of you, but ultimately you're pretty funny at the end of the day. Casey, loved getting to know you. You're hysterical. I think you're the lifeblood of the show. And that's a wrap. That's a series wrap on Erin Keif. Thanks, everybody. Thanks for having me.

01:08:24

Adal

Oh, you want to do a series rap? Erin, poor choice of words, right?

Erin

Help, help, help, help, help, help, help. Just kidding, it's a rap about clowns. I know my way around. We're back with my favorite hot guy with the red hair, Ronald McDonald. Ronald Mc... Kiss me on the mouth cuz he's hot and he's sexy cool, and I met him at clown school. Clowning's big in LA. I don't know what to say. I'm insulting clowns and myself. What rhymes with self? Back on the shelf. Put me back on the shelf where my clown man can kiss me. Where? Where should he kiss me? What rhymes with shelf?

Adal

Erin, great job. I'm just surprised you called for your own series wrap. Thank you for doing that.

JPC

That's like somebody getting a Lifetime Achievement Award and then in the middle of their award someone starts filming a new movie. That's so funny.

01:09:28

Adal

I would like to, speaking of Casey, which you were doing Erin, I wanna plug Casey's podcast, Gutter. If you enjoy podcasts, please check out Gutter, starring Casey Toney. I believe Casey's typing in the chat. He says, I am the best part of this. I am the star. Star, star, star, star, star.

JPC

Yeah, he wanted us to hit starring when he asked. Starring Casey Toney, I think is what he said.

Adal

JPC, anything to review, rap?

Erin

Huh.

Adal

Huh. And last year I made a little note to myself to add in a riddle, which we would hear the answer to next year. And I completely forgot to do that.

JPC

I was going to ask Adal, but I didn't want to like step on it. I know that that's some people's like favorite part of this, right? It's like hearing the riddle. I dropped the ball.

01:10:32

Adal

But here's the thing. We're going to pick the ball back up and we're going to do a riddle to leave you with. What kind of makeup?

JPC

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Can we also announce next year you're going to get the riddle from last year and the riddle from this year. Can we say that?

Adal

What's going on?

JPC

Yes. So you didn't do the one from last year, right?

Adal

Yeah.

JPC

So next year we'll do both.

Adal

We're doing two.

JPC

It's not that you forgot.

Adal

No, last year I didn't do a riddle.

Erin

Finger licking rubber chickens. Squeaky shoes.

Adal

I'm in the mood. Erin, Google words associated with clouds.

Erin

No, not yet.

Adal

Erin

I've run out of clown words. Trapeze on my knees.

Adal

Don't do some trapeze on my knees. Okay, here's a riddle we'll leave you with.

Adal

Under the big tits?

Adal

Erin

JPC

Name one woman clown. Casey, can you clip Erin saying, I've officially run out of words? I think that would be a good one to have too.

Adal

Where are all the women clowns?

That's a great question. Where have all the women clowns?
