Episode Date: August 11, 2021

Hey, look at this! We fooled a couple other folks into doing riddles with us. Mean, right? Well luckily, they were pretty good sports about the whole thing. And maybe we all ended up liking riddles just a little bit more. And maybe if we could do that for our friends Max & Ivan, then we could do it for you! Wouldn't that be a better future? A world where everyone likes riddles just a little bit more?

This is a head gum podcast. Okay, JPC, okay little Aaron getting bad get tucked in here time for your bedtime story separate beds though, right? Um, well, just yeah, Get tucked in here time for your bedtime story separate beds though, right? Well Hey, did something whatever Aaron doesn't what well Bunk beds, but the top one will be upside down just so you can kind of see each other. Yeah, just how I sleep Okay, here we go. All right tucked in we'll strap you up into the top bunk. Here we go. Here's your bedtime story Bram, bram Open the book all riddles are bad by Adore Fy. Once upon a time there was a riddle. That suits me to sleep. Good night everybody. Well the moral of the story is all riddles are bad. So go ahead and take your little asses

to tight little asses to sleep. And ponder that. And while you're sleeping, remember, I'm Adora Fah, I'm JPC. I am asleep, leave me alone. And this is Hey Riddle Riddle, a podcast where every episode we talk about how we don't do riddles anymore. And yet we still do them and try and solve them and do some improvised scenes along the way. Today, we are joined by two very special guests. They're actually new members of the family, the headgum family. Welcome to the family. Thank you Vin Diesel. Yeah.

You should check out their new podcast, Sound Deals on the headgum network. Please welcome Max and Avon. Hello guys. Hello, hello, thank you so much for having us. It's an honor to be, are we, are we head gum cousins? How does, how does the family tree set up work here? Are we siblings? We have the same blood now. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Okay. X is sleep together. Then we're head gum cousins. Otherwise, we're steppodders. We're steppodders. Right. I

think we're just not allowed to have children together. Not on this, that's the rule. That's not on this podcast, at least. No, no. That was very clear in the instructions. Of course. And I'm actually only going to say this one time, drop the fake accents. Listen, if only we could.

Too charming. This is what we've got. We can try and converge, but now this is where we're recording live from Swinging May Fair in Central London. And we're happy to be here. Are you the first head gum podcast in England or are there other head gum podcasts in England? Well we enthusiastically wrote up on our press release that we were the first head gum podcast in England.

And I believe that's simply a lie. I think there is another British man who is a headgummer. Headgummer. Yeah, and he was an actor in the play war horse. Oh, the D&D. Yeah, he's got a D&D podcast. Oh, OK, so well, so you're... Maybe you can just say that you're the first English duo

headgum podcast. That's just a joke. That sounds. We tend to be the best of what we do by ensuring that what we do is so extraordinarily niche that no one else is actually attempted to it. Hey, you're talking to the number one Chicago in LA based Rital podcast. That's a good word. Mazel Tav, congratulations you guys.

That's huge. That's very, very big question. It's very big question. What a mountain to climb The first British head gum podcast not done by a horse. I assume he played the horse in more horse Ah, yeah, yeah, he was the Alps as they would call it over here the kind who the the titular role The titular role now he was on the horse. He was he was the he was the main kid

Oh my god, we should have him on the podcast. Why are you? Why are you for us? We're going to kill our booker. So Max and Avon, um, you two are, are you primarily known as a sketch duo? Is that correct? We, we pedal an arcane in an esoteric form of narrative sketch comedy around the UK, Australia and and the world at large, where we play thousands of characters on an incredibly low budget. Someone wants to describe it as like incredibly low budget movies, which kind of sums up what our stick has been past.

Thousands of characters. Can we meet 400 of them now? I'm glad you asked, because if Anne's actually got a couple for you here. Like this guy. Well, hello there. Yeah, my name is Paul. That's perfect. I say you go. Shakey Paul for you. Even down to the name, you were just playing Paul in. My name is Paul by by bird. E.C.R. Colgets the square. That's that 400 of those characters are just that one. Yeah. Yeah.

Full has multiple personalities. All very similar to that guy you heard. You love it, love it. If the two of you are plagued by the stigma of low budget, then I gotta say, the world of podcasting is exactly the right place for you. I mean, it's like a breath of fresh air. Yeah, it's like a low budget fairy tale

that we're all over again. We love it immensely. Absolutely, no, we a breath of fresh air. Yeah, it's like a low budget fairy tale that we're all over again. We love it immensely. Absolutely, no, we're delighted to be here. We think we're possibly the very last English comedians to get a podcast, which is kind of, you know, an achievement in its own right. But it's a wonderful thing. Well, I think Steve Couguin is still struggling

to shop his around. Just hasn't found his network yet. No, we are willing to have him as a guest on season two. We're in talks. We always ask all of our guests, what is your relationship with Riddles? Do you enjoy puzzles, Riddles, that all thinking problems?

Did you do them as a kid? Do you hate them? What is your relationship with them? I would say I love them if I get them right. And if they make me look stupid, then egg on their face, because that's not how it should be. Who's that? That's who you're going to fit right in.

That's what I always say about it. Who's that? They're prom dates. I love my prom dates. And unless they make me look stupid, Sarah. Why are you still going to prom? You're like 40. I don't know. In the past, in the past, no, no.

You're getting into a time machine and going to proms in the past? Oh, okay. I believe my initial relationship with Riddles was formed when I read popular fantasy book The Hobbit at a precociously young age. And then went and tried to talk to my friends in school about the sequence where Bilbo does a riddle for smegel, gollum, as he then is about what he's got in his pocket.

Spoilings. Looking back, the real riddle was, wine earth was I, at the age of seven, trying to include my friends in this conversation that in fact alienated me from all of them. All my favorite people went through a phase where they talked a little too much about Lord of the Rings at school.

So you're in I think pretty good company. Thank you, Aaron. Thank you. Finally feel accepted. Well, for our episode today, our J.R.R. talking is going to be JPC, I believe. Yeah. And I was actually in the war of the puzzles. I was never in a war, which side did you fight on?

I was just a mercenary gun for hire. I'd sell riddles to whoever was asking for them. More often than not riddles to people who were not asking for them. Did you know that the Volkswagen was created by riddles? And that Fanta is a riddle drink? Riddle coke, that's what they call it. So today, for today's episode, I will be asking everyone riddles.

And knowing, Avon, especially that you don't like to be embarrassed, we are going to do as best we can to protect your feelings. Max, unfortunately, you did not... Your story is not as horrible as shit is a word. I should have specified it. It's too late. Much like those seven-year-olds on the playground, we will be trying to demolish you.

Great. It's all coming back. These riddles. It's a podcast about riddles. And also unpacking trauma from our childhood. We just got to mix everything in. So yeah, I'll be starting us off with, I think maybe some listeners submitted

riddles that I think are a little bit on the easier side and they maybe will scale up in difficulty. I even kind of went out of my way to find one that had I would say like a more British flair not necessarily sure that the person who submitted it is from England, but it's got at least a couple of words in there that I'm like those sound like British words. I can't wait to see what you think has a British flair. Absolutely. You know, the English language,

it's all got that British flair. I just wanna say my favorite wrestler of all time, British flair. Woo! Yes. He said, woo, but he didn't shout, he just said is it kind of a quiet. Oh, woo, woo, woo.

Fairly politely over a cup of milk. Yes. Oh, woo, woo. And instead of a chop, he just whoo, whoo, whoo. Fairly, fairly politely overcome. Yes. Oh, whoo. And instead of a chop, we just patted them gently on the chest and y'all did a great job. Good job. Chin up, to public. Okay, so this first riddle comes to us courtesy of Rachel. Rachel, right specifically, give these to JPC specifically as requested by yours truly

signed Rachel. This riddle reads, what tastes better than it smells? What tastes better than it smells? Interesting, interesting. Now, I was like, these are kind of warm up riddles. They're just meant to get the kind of juices flowing. There's not a lot to them. It's just something that I've already got the riddle sweats to be honest. Guys, can I just say for the benefit of those who are out of the Zoom, at the moment that you said, and we're going to start off with an easy riddle, I just saw him and left eye, just switch, and a bead of perspiration, form like a text-avery cartoon on the side of his temple.

Egg on your face, right? If I knew, you can't start distributing egg on everyone's face immediately, that's absolutely unacceptable. People are doing it all the time, they're like, why don't you have guests on the podcast more often? They say, we're not sadists, we understand what we're saying. They hate it. I hate it. People don't enjoy this.

I genuinely think that if you said one more sentence about how easy the riddle was before you said it, if I would have just got up and left the room and just pulled out. Okay, okay. I've got a possible answer. Oh, I can't wait. Could you repeat it? Absolutely, yeah, absolutely. Can, what tastes better than it smells? Okay, okay.

I've got an add-on. Let's take some pressure off of you, Adel, Aaron, how are we feeling about this riddle that we have potentially and probably done on the show before? I don't mean to stir the pot, but I think I know it. Oh, okay. Now keep it by Aaron as 160 episodes of this show

under her belt, so. Yeah, I broke my brain in just the right way and I'm gonna do these. You think the side-storytles. I myself am oscillating between two possible answers. One is kisses from grandma, and the other is, Whoa, whoa, whoa. I believe the actual answer.

So we'll let Max and Avon take a stab at it. So, I mean, so we have potentially two different answers. Do you want to, I mean, unless we've telepathically thought of the same one. I think I think you should go first, and then I'll let you know. So Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Te- Oh, no. Well, that just, you just wrote a great joke. Oh, yeah. Oh, no. Was it?

Am I not on hey joke joke? And that's very clever because it can taste but it can't smell. Well, I mean, yes. And that's what you're doing there. The old, the old, the old, the old, the old thought process. Could also be like a very, like a popular country song too. I love the idea of a dog with no nose. It's kind of got like a boy named Sue Energy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A truck with no stirring wheel. Sure. Oh, that's a whole bus. Dog with no nose, truck with no wheels. Yes. A man with no paws and no how it feels. So we grab a pen.

We're writing a hit. I want to see a scene. OK, it's just going to be a continuation of our writing a hit. So Max and Avon and Aaron, the three of you are in a country band that only does country songs that are very, very based on tropes, beer horses, trucks, etc. JPC, you are their manager and you are trying to help them write and record their brand new song. Okay.

Well, hey there folks, I've just bought myself a new beer horse truck and it's inspired me to to rattle out a couple new verses today. I think it could take us in a different direction to our previous album, Horse Beer Truck. Alright, alright. Well, yee ha, I'd love to hear it. Yeah, I love that now. Just so I have clarification from the three of you, you're all the primary lead singer of the band. Correct? That's the way it works, God bless America, that's right.

All right. Each one more primary than the next. Sure, yeah. Well, there are three primary colors, so that makes sense. Yep, be a horse and truck. Be a horse and truck. Then that's right,

and then the three primary colors as far as we're concerned. They work for us. We're all set up on my end. We're recording everything. So whenever you're ready, please take it away. Yeah, take it away, van. All right.

But bear. The the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the

the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the way. We forgot the new out. This is the new direction.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. I got a truck to my left and the beard to my right. Beer horse truck. We're feeling all right. We support the troops. Support the troops. Machine gun.

That's right. We support the troops. Anti-vax. Anti-vax. Yeehaw. Seen. Ha-ha-ha-ha. I think we learned a lot there. I spent maybe six months studying abroad in England. A.T.Vax, yee-haw's pretty accurate. That's not, that's not.

He got it going and then we just ran with it. Yeah, exactly. I'd go for that or um, deep pan pizza question mark. You got it. Yeah, it's, it is, it's lasagna basically. It's terrible. It's, it's really the worst food. It's terrible.

It's super, it's terrible. Yeah. Although, um, whenever my, my fiance, Mar Mariah like she was away this weekend and I was at the store and I was like I'm gonna buy a deep dish pizza. Oh Sorry deep deep. The is the is what you think of Chicago. I was like not the answer to the riddle I thought I thought I'd had a stroke and if Van had solved the thing and very casually was like well of course Van had solved the thing and very catchy was like, well of course it tastes it's deep pan pizza of course tastes better than it smells at which point you will nod in right well but of course that was like well I've clearly been I've

got locked in syndrome and my brain is just a woken and the rules of life have completely changed because none of that resonates with me at all but I see answer is al Capone okay fabulous, fabulous. I love it. We invited you on and it's just all Chicago-based riddle. Yeah. What do you get? Go more niche. Go more niche always.

You're at the corner of Clark in diversity. There's a stand. Donuts. And false. False. That's a hot dog stand. That's not a check out. Shit.

How do you know? I'm ready to answer it, I think. OK. Wow. Aaron, I would love to check out. Shit, how'd you know? I'm ready to answer it, I think. Okay, well, Aaron, I would love to see you. I would love to, wait, no wait, did we get Evon's answer? Okay, so you didn't get it. Um, okay, so it tastes better than it smells. Now, I'm thinking of success, but in some kind of sport where you Where you sweat a lot

I will say what I'm saying Yeah, what I'm saying right way musicals the sweet taste of success this sweet taste of success But you know if you if you if you win in a very sweaty sport in competitive bitcrime yoga Yeah, then I smell competitive bit from yoga. Yeah, then I smell. I love the head is out. I love the head is out. Then the taste of the feeling of success.

A lot of words, you smell worse than the taste of the feeling of success. A lot of them, the ins and the rules, are like these non-tangible ideas, like success. Like that could be the answer. Now, in this instance, it is not. No way, of course not. Sure.

Yeah. I got your face, right, Sean? Just if I have please, you must stop egging every, Now in this instance it is not no way of course that sure I got your face right Please you must stop egging every that's like the third egg that you've flown the right right You're going to run out of it Rachel there is no egg on your face. I'd like to qualify if I don't know what he's talking about And you have ten eggs for me We did everybody it does it the sort of it the day. It's fair enough, fair enough. Aaron would you like to solve the puzzle? Is it a tongue?

Oh, bingo bingo. Hatata, Aaron, it is a tongue. Congratulations. Okay, very strong. That sucks. It sucks. So it's actually great. Thank you, Rachel.

Hopefully that'll give you a speed of where Rachel's mind is at for the next riddle that Rachel submits. Oh, she's a tofa. Rachel's mind is at for the next riddle that Rachel submits. Oh, she's not, she's a tofa. It's a tofa, here we go. How do you spell candy in two letters? I'm not. Candy in two letters. I'll say, this one I found pretty difficult.

I don't think that this is an easy one. But, you know, the rules are the rules. JPC, my man, this is the easiest riddle I've ever solved. Answer, what's a candy spelled in two letters? Butterfinger, BB. Remember those? Remember Bart Simpson couldn't get his yellow little mits off those? I just love where your head's at because you think that is the candy that is two letters

that is the most common two letter candy. Yeah, I love that those old ads were like, the whole slogan for Butterfinger was, nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger. So they basically rhyme finger with finger and said and slant rhymed better with butter. Just an awful campaign. Well, this is my big question,

as I think we're gonna be running into some cultural differences here, is you have very different, do you call them sweets? Do you call them Martin Simpson? Well them Bartholomew Simpson? Bartholomew Simpson, as he's now here. Bartholomew Simpson, Alia weirdly, is his name here in the UK. Yeah, I mean, we recognize Candy, and in fact Oxford Street, which is just outside our office, is has about, in the pandemic, these shops flourish, they're all called something like

World of American Candy or like essential candy store. And there's nothing but American candies. But that's a bit of an anomaly. In the rest of the UK, we call them sweets, and they'd be sold to you in like little paper bags by like a kindly old man who fought in the war. Okay, well, I have a million questions. So I actually would like to, instead of a scene, I'd like to play a game.

And I would like the two of you to list some British sweets and candies. And if you want to make some up and throw them in, you can. And we have to try to guess which is very nice. I love it. Very nice. Okay, licorice all sorts. Okay, so what I would be real. What I would be licoricecer and that's what you get

That's what you get if you eat one too many licorice ulcer If I'm with here, and I think real is this is it licorice karma all sorts as Then you get all sorts of licorice. It is weirdly it should take a comma, but it doesn't It is weirdly, it should take a comma, but it doesn't. It is, all sorts is a plurality of licorice varieties. It speaks to a bag of stuff. I think it's just a jumble of liquorice. Yes, indeed. It's a whole...

That sounds like it's from Lord of the Rings. Yes, it's a jumble of liquorice. You must find the jumble of liquorice. Only that can decode the languages of all men in my sweets. I'm going to say that licorice, what you said is all is correct. That's a correct one. That's right.

It is. It is correct. That is. I would like to put the distinction. It doesn't sound correct. It sounds like it exists. It does, to me, completely incorrect. And to clarify, they are utterly revolting among the most disgusting things

You could ever possibly consume I'm not a fan truly despise them. Okay, Max is one I'm gonna do one real quick This is a maybe in American candy. Maybe I'm making it up fun dip fun dip Okay, I just don't think you can make up a name that sounds more American than fun dip. That definitely sounds like us. It sounds real, it could be real. Something's telling me, surely, you know, we import a lot of your culture, I cycle past, a lot of your candy vendors on a daily basis.

I feel as though, you know, if Fundip were out there, the UK would have hurt, sure, we've got kind of mysterious Victorian alchemists selling sweets that you guys haven't heard of, but I feel like the American dream is huge over here. I feel as though, I mean, if Anna, have you encountered Fundip? I've never Fundiped.

You might have felt. But I don't know, maybe it's so good they're keeping it to themselves. It's not. It's one of those things like, taffy that I know exists, but like don't really know. Like couldn't tell you what it is.

Like if I had to point it out in a line up, I would like, it's a fabric. Yeah. Yeah. I need to talk to you about your taffy jacket that you've been wearing, your van. Because that is, it not going to wear well. It tastes better than it smells.

Hey, gorgeous. I'm saying it's fake. It's real. The most American sentence you can ever say is I drove my Prius to Cracker Barrel for some fun dip. Mm-hmm. Ah! Love it.

What, please, what, what, what is it? So, fun dip is, this, this does sound very fake. I'll admit it as I'm saying it. It's a rounded white candy tongue depressor that you put in your mouth and wet, and then you dip it into a separate pouch full of flavored powder and the powder wings tingles onto the wetness. It's not like pop rocks, it doesn't

really tingle. But you basically you wet the end dip in the powder, the powder sticks to the wetness of the tongue, tongue depressor and then you can either kind of lick it off and keep dipping or you can bite it off and start chewing on the hard candy. Wow. As Adel describes how you consume fun dip, I totally believe that in the time of COVID, nobody's doing fun dip. Like, fun dip does that.

Like, a candy that involves taking it out of your mouth, dipping it in an extra bag and then putting it back in. Not really the... It is not a fun time to be the fun dip seeker. No. They've had to just rename it dip in these trouble times. I also like the way you said doing Fundip. You want to do some Fundip bro. Little kid drug for sure. Oh it's a try. It's a started drug. Absolutely.

I would like to hear some more British candies. What about if you were to go and buy a bag of Percy pigs? Okay, hold on. Oh boy oh boy. Oh man, what a silly country. Any questions? Here's what I will say. If Percy pigs exists as an actual candy, then JK Rowling is just like, fuck a liar. She's just a plagiarist. She stole everything that she has. Because if that exists, if that exists in that country, then what she was doing wasn't magical.

She was just going to a sweet shop and you know, writing things down. She famously sat in a coffee shop. She was just looking out of the window. And all of the children, frolicing past with their bags of Percy pigs. I can't, I choose to believe in a world that Percy pigs is not a real sweet.

That's what I will say. Interesting. It sounds like the Queen's Butler or like a children's TV show. So I'm gonna say not real. Percy pigs. I'm gonna say that it's not real. And then also once we hear the answer I do want to see a scene. Okay. Well, we can confirm that Percy Pigs are in fact real. Why? Not only are they real, they are among the most popular confectionery sold by one of our

most up-market grosses, Marx and Spencer. And Percy has a whole family, I think he's got a girlfriend. There's Colin the Catapilla, which you can buy in cake form as well. You can buy Percy pig's fizzy tails. Like when the Marx and the, when Marxist meant to have a bad year, I'm fairly certain. Like Percy pigs literally kept them, kept, kept them in the green. And they've, they've recently gone vegetarian.

They've all gone vegetarian. The whole range. Yeah. Absolutely. So no jealousy. You guys are having way more fun than we are over here. This is such, you guys are having fun. British, British candy has family. What are we doing over here? This is what it's like. You guys are having fun. British Candy has family. What are we doing over here? Absolutely.

That's what we're about here, family values. I've never had this thought go through my brain before, but you guys deserve Boris Johnson. I will say that. That we deserve Trump. We deserve it. That is sadly true. We're all sleeping in the beds we made.

Our candy has a girlfriend. I want to say you're seeing Max, you're going to be playing a fancy little pig on a first date with Aaron at a coffee shop. Sorry, I'm, oh, sorry. I'll do it after you. I'll tell you sorry, tell me sorry. Oh my goodness, I love your little monocle in your head. This old thing, I just threw it on.

Do you come to this trough often? I've been here a couple times. It's in your profile that you just moved to town? Yeah, yeah, I knew here. You were living in a star, in my parent's family style back home. But I've moved out to make it big in the in the world of confectionery. That's amazing. And you're a tea cup pig that's so cute. Yes, I am yes half a two-hour so yes yes.

Here comes the waiter. Hi, yeah excuse me. I would love your breakfast special. I'll take the bacon. I would like it with bacon, please, thank you. OK, right. Yes, how wonderful. Yes, I'm sure I could enjoy a fun dip into that special of yours, except this slightly embarrassing. I've recently become vegetarian you see um it's uh yes I'm only eating vegetarian produce which is why my my butt they who I've brought with me has it on on a little plate hello how do you do yes hello Samuel well your butler is

rather out of breath oh yes yes yes sorry I have split it I have just been around the back. The master, the specials, my brother, he's been taken for the breakfast special, We've got to... Oh, good grief. Yes. You're so... Oh, here comes my breakfast. Oh, well, I'm too late. Jerry. Oh, Jerry. Well, you know, listen, I said it before Samuel, and I said again, Jerry didn't do a great deal of work, and it appears now he's giving air in a great deal of pleasure on the plates. Right.

And, you know, despite my misgivings, it would be, you know, immoderate of me not to join her in a slice of your brother and potentially my distant relative. Right. Oh, yeah, please help yourself. Thank you. Please don't do it. I have to do it. Oh, my God.

It's always the bacon that pulls you back in when you go vegetarian. Seeing. I was so dark, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for it to be. I feel sorry for poor Samuel. The darker part was the butler was not a pig. No. The butler was a human. Oh, no you can't get pig butler. No, no, no, no, no.

Very much. That'd be ridiculous. The bacon was human for sure. Yes, it was not. All right, well here. This, I mean, this riddle, Rachel's riddle demands an answer. And I will say that the word candy is operative in this riddle. So how do you spell candy in two letters? If you want to change it out for sweets,

the riddle is not going to work. So you have to use the American candy to make this riddle make sense. OK. GBC is D one of the letters? So you have to use the American candy to make this riddle mixets. GPC is D one of the letters? No, Adolf D is not one of the letters. That's a great question. And you can ask as many questions as you want. The questions are always on the table.

What's your favorite color? Oh, and Aaron, I will answer any yes or no. So I will say no. And was that a clue in itself? What you just said? That questions are on the two. No, no, you're answer. Basically, I'm saying, do you think you've got it? Are the letters NO? No, the letters are not NO. I guess you are definitely on the right track then.

I will say. Okay, okay. And the question was, can I hear it worded one more time? Actually, yeah, please do. How do you spell candy in two letters? Oh, right, so it's not. Can you? No, of course, yeah, yeah, yeah. My Rachel, no egg, was thrown at that point.

I may have, I'm, go for it. I may have an answer. We love the confidence. With great difficulty? Oh, with great confidence. It's just a very confident person at a spelling bee. It's just a very confident person at a spelling bee. That is great, but that is not the correct answer now. Fair enough. When you said Butterfinger Bebees, I thought you were going to say, im an IMS. Oh.

Because that's two letters, but that is not the answer as well. So I wanted to go ahead and take that off the table, because that's not the right direction for this room. Hmm. So it has to be candy not sweets. Yeah, it has to be. Oh, I've got it. Okay. C and D.

It's very close. I'll give it to you because you were halfway there. It is C and Y because the way that you spell candy has A and Zaw. Yeah, my, I like, completed about two thirds of a thought We're halfway there. It is C and Y. Because the way that you spell candy has am sorry. Yeah, my, I like, completed about two thirds of a thought and then I announced that had it whilst I didn't. Yeah. No, that's one.

That's okay. You were definitely using the British spelling of candy, which is C-A-N-D-D. Yes. As we all know. Candidate. Yeah. Yes, that is very good.

C and Y candy is the way it's spelled and Rachel, that one absolutely rocked. Now that first one, that was a real top of shit, but the second one really brought it home. Wow, that was actually a good riddle. I actually enjoyed that. And I'm very impressed that you got it. I don't think I would have ever figured it out.

Hey, Adel and JPC, thank you for meeting me in the middle of the woods here. I am sort of at an impasse. I can't decide whether or not to go this way or this way.

I'm having a hard time choosing a path. You know, there never truly is a middle of the woods. Isn't it funny to think about something like that? There never truly is a middle of the woods. No, this is the middle. Okay, this is it. Addle, can you help? Yeah, actually, so as per Robert Frost,

Because sometimes Aaron and life were faced with tough choices, and the path forward isn't always clear, whether you're dealing with decisions around career relationships, being stuck in the middle of the woods, therapy helps you stay connected to what you, ow, ow, sorry, that also does so fast. Therapy helps you stay connected to what you really want while you navigate life and the woods. Hmm, and better help is entirely online, so it's designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

I've been using it for several years, and it suits the way that my brain works way better than traditional therapy ever did. And when Aaron says traditional therapy, just so everyone's clear, what she means is tricking two of her friends to coming to the middle of the woods, even though there isn't truly the concept of the middle of the woods, isn't that fun to think about? All you have to do is just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a license therapist, and you can switch therapists at any time

No, no, no, no, the jelly. And the real one. They're jelly, oh I'm all turned around. They're real, real good. They're chewy. You basically, everyone has a preference. You basically want, in my opinion, the original Percy pig. Oh yeah, it's gotta be the original.

But the fizzy tails are pretty strong. They've got reversey purses, which have the different types of gelatin-esque constituents reversed, so the transverse bits. Oh, reversey-perce sounds like euphemism for vagina. Yes, it should. Oh my god! That's amazing. Wow. Well, this should be a surprise to no one, but we are actually back. We have been talking about Percy Pigs again. Now, I have a question because famously on this show, Aaron spent some time in Australia and developed a liking for Caramel Koalas.

Have you had Caramel Koalas? We've not. When we toured to Australia and performed at some comedy festivals there, the big talk was Tim Tamms. That was the, that was the, that was the, that was the, Tim Tammslam, that was the shack.

That was the like, interesting thing. Do you have any Fred O the, that was the, that was the, that was the like, do you have any Fred O'Frogs? Cause the Caramel Koalas are the brothers. Oh! Fredo, yeah, we got Fredo Frogs galore here. Fredo is a classic, given the tuck shops of the UK. So, so Fredo Frogs, how do they compare to Percy Pigs? I mean, they don't. One's one's chocolatey and the other is,

also I mean, lovely gummy. A Fredo frog is a diversion, but a bag of Percy Pigs is a show-stopping crowd-pleased. You know, if you produced a Fredo in a room full of people and kind of chucked it onto the table for communal consumption, you'd get publicly hanged in the UK. That's weirdly the one crime that it's still legal to do that for. I will say, Iván pulled up a picture of the Percy pigs,

and I have never been so sexually attracted to a candy. Please immediately Google them. They are adorable, flash sexy even. I'm sorry, you've never been so sexually attracted to a candy. Well, I guess I got a box of stickers in my apartment that's fucking ruined for nothing. For a lot. For a lot.

No. I have a quick question before we continue. And I know you probably answered this a million times. But what is your origin story? How did you meet and become friends? Oh, yeah. I've been watching some of your sketches on YouTube, and I just was like, here it is.

Oh, and this definitely isn't the riddle you'd actually like us to answer this one No, I like it to rhyme like your answer to rhyme The story of Evan and me begins in university Two men on a comedic mission bonded in a play audition Well this fucking rules. Oh, that was so good. You have to keep going You guys we look like losers. Yes, carry on Don't make me rhyme if Ann Kvecch is and won't tell about how we wrote our sketches We wrote some shows and then some more in Edinburgh and then on tour.

Not fair, their English actions are curing a lot of the Russians. When we're live, we might appear to perform regularly at the Soho Theatre. Oh, very nice. And very true. Yeah. Um, we've got a show if it appeals on HeadGum and it's called Sound Deal. Excellent work. Excellent work. Okay, well, okay. Okay, that was incredible. But where are you from?

I'm rhymed out. That was a very primitive form of battle rap that we practice here in London. I mean, it was all true though. It was. It was all true. We met at university. I'm from the south of the UK and a van is from the north by way of Europe, by way of the rest of Europe, which thankfully we are now exited from. Absolutely. So we've got our sovereignty as our small island gradually sinks into the water Take take that Europe. Yeah, everyone's thrilled about It was it was a great idea that won't result in a giant civil war before we all starved to death sometime before Christmas of this year Yeah, we start we started writing

Yeah, we started writing, the UK's got a rich tradition of kind of university comedy reviews. And we both very ingeniously went to a university with zero comedy tradition at all. So quickly found one another as the only two people who were kind of into it and made the wise decision to become a full-time comedy double act. That's so cool. Well, I'm really glad that I asked. I'm glad that I asked. And I'm glad that you asked too, Aaron, because it's nice to learn a little bit more about our guests, isn't it?

Thank you. But enough learning, because now it's time to take everybody's ass to school with our next rental. This one comes courtesy of Tom. Thank you for the riddle, Tom. Okay, Tom writes, this riddle is the most stupidly hard riddle I have ever heard of.

It's not fun because it's stupid, but I thought it might be interesting to hear your thoughts on it. So that's the way we're being set up for this riddle. I promise you, our fans do like the show. So I've got 10 eggs in there, and they've all got Tom's name on them. Oh Tom, be careful. Okay, so the riddle is you see a letter that originated from senselessness.

What does it read? You see a letter that originated from senselessness? You see a letter that originated from senselessness? You see a letter that originated from senselessness. What does it read? Now I will say, I couldn't make heads or tails of this fucking thing. Can I say, so this is right in my wheelhouse, because I once, I was pen pals with a gentleman

named senselessness who was staying in Norway, and he once sent me a letter, and it read, maybe don't get a little cap, but you're all, is that good king senselessness? Yes, senselessness. Okay, gotcha. So I know on recorder,

a letter from senselessness, what did it read? Yeah, so, okay, you see a letter, here's the operative word, originated from senselessness. What does it read? So you're looking for a letter, and it originated from senselessness. What does it read? So you're looking for a letter and it originated from senselessness. Like a letter of the alphabet. Yes.

Like a letter of the alphabet. Now, you bring up a great point. You can just guess every letter of the alphabet and we'll get this. That'll take at least 50 goes, though. I'm sorry. Yes, we are using the British alphabet. So we are looking for 50 letters.

Is it like W where it doesn't make sense to have you and W? I don't know. I don't know. No, it's not. Originated from senselessness. Is it a letter of the alphabet that composes, that helps make up the architectural structure of the word senselessness.

Yeah. I love the way that you put it. Well, that was amazing. I love the way that it says like a college professor, but yes, correct. That is the answer is yes to that question. Okay. So would it, I mean, is S the first letter of something which originates like that? So that's a good, yeah, a letter that originated from senselessness and S is the first letter,

but the answer is not S. Sean, I'm glad because that would be very unsatisfying. Of sure, of course. If it was just the first letter. So of course, they want you to guess E because that's the second one, but surely we cannot choose the second letter. So I must choose N. So is a wall of shana. You will get the answer, like I said, if you just guess all the letters,

but there is like a reason why this does make sense. It's just, it's kind of abstract. There are clues. Do you want me to give you a couple clues? I'm going to write out the word senseless. I would appreciate a clue. Okay. Oh no, I'm sorry. I should have read these clues ahead of time. I saw that there were clues, these aren't helpful.

Clue one is, the letter is not one that is posted. So it's not like a, you already got that part that it's an actual letter, not like a postmarked letter. And the second clue is there are hidden instructions to follow. Okay, I think you got it. Oh, oh. hidden instructions to follow. Okay, I think. You got it? Oh, oh.

Okay, so if we take out Ness, oh. N-E, because it's sense less Ness. So if we take out N-E and S, we are left with L. So my answer is L. So you are so close, but it is since less. Oh, sin, yes. Sorry, what? So you are taking since, yes. Less, in ESS. So basically, you're taking in ESS out of since. So the E. So correct, you were right there, but the letter is E. Wow. We're removing the letters in E SS from the word since.

Since last Ness, which gets us to E. When you started on that road, I was like, oh, close. I just swept in at the last second. I got my Twitter and all that work. I think I'm throwing the egg up in the end. I'm headbutting it. I think I understand how you got there. So since less Nintendo entertainment system,

Nintendo of course Tetris. So yeah, no, no, this is more in tune with the Nintendo entertainment system that your parents bought you, the NESS. Which was just my mom and dad standing behind a cardboard box with a window cutout and they say, you tell us what you want to play. And I said, not the worst.

And they played it anyway. I want to see a scene. God. Avon and JPC, you two are brothers, but you are separated by a vast many, many miles. This is maybe in like the early 1900s or late 1800s. Sure. So you are separated and you're

writing letters back and forth to each other to keep each other abreast of what you're up to, and the letters make less and less sense as they go on. My dearest brother across the sea, things go well in America where I've made my home. I got a job as a dock worker, unloading ships and loading cargo onto ships. I hope that it is enough to support me and my family of which it surely will. I hope you are well, brother.

Love always, Charles. Dearest brother, it brings me great joy to hear of your safe arrival in America. I would like to let you know that mother is doing well and father is tending to the oxen. Please, please send some money desperately. We need urgent care for the oxen. Yours, Robert.

Dear Strabbert, I got your last letter and hope to support the oxen soon. Little bit of a hiccup with my job. I'm working at a docker's packaging plant. I thought I was going to be working at the docks. I wore waders, those little rubber boots and everything. Turns out I'm just folding pants. They're paying in pants though. So if the ox need pants, I'm your guy.

I next ship over full of pants. Until then, all my love, your brother, Charles. Dearest brother, I know it takes a while for these letters to cross the seas. And I appreciate your offer for pants. And would like to take you up on that offer. So please do send a pair urgently. appreciate your offer for pants and would like to take you up on that offer so please do send a pair urgently the oxen are now hungry and we are willing to

feed them anything. My dearest brother Robert again pants incoming I mean it's possible here's a thing totally messed up again not a docker's factory plant apparently it's possible. Here's the thing, totally messed up again. Not a docker's factory plant. Apparently it's just an old docker's warehouse where people are now doing a thing called docker, which as I understand it, is when two people put their penis, you know what, I don't really want to write it down in a letter, Google it.

I'll say, I'll say Google it. Anyway, nobody yet, no pants. I'll kind of open up my mind to some sexual possibilities and nowhere to think for me. But more coming soon, all my love, your brother, Charles. Dear Charles, this is your father. Robert read your last letter, attempted to make the oxen dock, and he was trampled to death. The funeral is next Thursday. Do come home. Frederick.

Dad, next Thursday takes like a month to get home. See. No. No. No. No. No. I didn't think that was worth a whole letter.

Is dad. That cost $800 to send. But no, Tom also said at the end of the email, love the podcast, keep doing what you're doing. And Tom, we'll never stop. Until someone stops us. Some brave person stops us. Okay, so now the only person who can stop Hey Riddle is a good guy with a podcast.

Jacob and Amir. The next riddle, this is the one that I was excited about because I think that this riddle has, you know, I believe some British flair to it. So this is from Allison. Allison writes, these are some of the classic nights and naves logic puzzles. They're probably best for Aaron since she likes math and I actually did more complicated versions of these problems in my college math class but they're fun I promise. Erin did you say that you loved math? I said it one I said I kind of liked math in 2018 one time

and now people keep sending me math sounds like we got ourselves a math head over here guys. Okay so you find yourself on the island of nights and naves. Nights always tell the truth, and naves always lie. And real quick, just for historical context, I know what a night is. What is a nave? I think it's a type of bread. Okay. Yes.

It's a sent-out. It's one of the pig's cousins. Yes. Okay. No further questions. You're on it. Okay, so Knights always tell the truth. Naves always lie Whenever you meet someone you don't know if they're a knight or a nafe. They both look like bread So question number one you meet Billy and Franklin Billy says So question number one, you meet Billy and Franklin. Billy says we are both naves. What are Billy and Franklin?

Any adult who goes by Billy when their name is William is just full of shit and the piece of shit. Billy holiday? Oh no, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah. Walk it back, walk it back. Billy and what's the other person's name?

Franklin. And Billy says we are both naves. And what does Franklin say? Franklin quiet as a fucking door mouse. And what does Bash say? On Tuesdays, 7PM TNT, I don't know. Okay. We are both naves, is that what they said?

Yes, Billy says we are both names. Now remember, knights always tell the truth, and names always lie. And did you say that there has to be one of each? Because if so, clearly this guy's lying. No, there does not have to be one of each. You just can't discern just by looking at them what they are, because they both dress the same.

But we need to know what the two of them are. Sure. So the paradox is, of course, that if Franklin is enraved and Billy is telling the truth, but he can't possibly be telling the truth because he's claiming to be a nave. Exactly. Yeah. So if he says we're both naves, He says we're both naves. Yeah, exactly. He can't be telling the truth because naves lie. So he would never say they're naves. Yeah, so surely he has to be a naven Franklin, has to be a night.

Bingo bingo hot a time, ex. You got it right. The first try. Comedianly, immediately nailed it. Wow. Listen, we deal with, we have to deal with knights and naves every day here. Yeah, I mean, you have to, you have to answer that question just to get to the Percy Pig Isle. Yes. Instead of, I would like to see

a scene. Yeah, yeah, just have to be everybody. Adil, Max and Ivan, you are going to be nights. And Max, let's have you be a night who's sort of like stretching the truth of some of your conquests like you're trying to impress your night friends, but you're clearly lying. Oh, Halenwell met's good night. Yes. Not, not, sorry. Good night. Good, good, good, based day.

Comma Knight for the good. Yes, yes. Comma Knight is just beginning. A good, good evening. Good evening. Nice. Much easier to say. Much good night and good luck and good hail and where it went from you came.

When it came as I? Oh, baby, baby, baby. Let me tell you. Oh, please do. Well, you know, I... Oh, Sir Pillows, you are too modest. Please regale us with your stories of adventure! Well, there were rumors that I drank too much, uh,

ale and fell asleep in the sheep pen. Oh, hello, but uh, but actually, uh, uh, your boy here was up to some pretty heroic stuff. I don't know if you've ever heard of, uh, real big dragons? Anyone? Oh. Oh, yes, never seen, but yeah, definitely heard of.

Yeah, well, there's a reason you never seen them because when I was, when my twin brother was asleep with the sheep, not with, not comma, caught many commas between me or he and they sheep and it could have just been one sheep or even none but that doesn't matter. The point is I was elsewhere with those soft sheep because I was dueling bravely with the biggest drag in this kingdom half ever witnessed said. Really? Yes. Us nights can only tell the truth

Yes, yes, and you are joling with a dragon congratulations This is one of the biggest stories that I have ever heard in my life. Yeah, yes This is amazing. This is like that time that you told us you pulled that sword from a stone and Many witnesses had said that it was a sword that was just laying on the ground But there must a bit of stone somewhere because surely you're a knight and you only tell the truth and I believe you all the time Well this I mean this and this this is it and you know I I beg on their faces. I say if you know

I listen, I'm very clear that the sword was pulled either from or by or at least near a stone And I you know, huh detail people get hung up on detail frankly and maybe we should all just chill out a bit and accept Oh, so pillow you are sweating profusely. Yes. Well, it's all the wool fibers which are my body for They fell from the dragon that I was invading in broiled with and quite a tussle it sure was wow so pillows how big we talking oh um you know it was it was you know 15 15 wow that's you yes the biggest number yet invented. Oh, Knights, thank goodness you're here. There's a huge dragon on that hill that must be slaying us.

Well, quick, so pillows. Anywho, I've got a- I'm part of this new roller-dabby gang, and we've got a meat. Just down the- I listen, it's quite a thing. We'll be right behind you. No, no, so meat the chest. The Wimble Thorpe, I think you could probably give it a real good go.

No, I'm only good at fucking sheep. Ha ha ha. Sure. Seen. What a great Welsh night. Yes. Ah, good for you. I'm only good at that. Okay, so the Alison has included two more Reynolds.

Now that we get the basic, we get the basic premise on Knights and Naves, still on the Knights and Naves, next you meet Stephanie and Diane. Stephanie says, Diane is a nave. Diane says, neither I nor Stephanie are naves. What are Stephanie and Diane? Um, okay, okay. I know it. So Stephanie says Diane is a nave and Diane says, no, neither one of us is a nave.

But I know what I think it is. That is almost the same as just knowing the answer. Oh, that's a guess. We call that a as just knowing the answer. Oh, that's a guess. We call that a guess here across the pond. Oh, really? Okay. In England, you call them angusticals.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Would you...? So who said neither of us are names? That was Diane. Yeah. Stephanie says Diane is a name, and Diane says, neither one of us is a naiv. Oh hold on man.

Sounds like the lady doth protests too much. Could be. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say Diane is a naiv, and Stephanie is a naiv. Okay, any other, any other takers on this? Can, can you repeat, please? Cause I feel like I know what it is, but also I've completely forgotten it.

Steph, Stephanie says, Diana's a na, I'm sorry, it's a na, if Diana's a na, if, and then Diana says, neither I nor Stephanie are na, if so Stephanie is claiming Diana's a na, and Diana's saying neither one of us are na, and Adel's guess is that Stephanie is a na, And Diana is saying neither one of us are naves. And Adel's guess is that Stephanie is a night and Diana is a nave. We, we, we, we, I have the same guess as Adel.

And that Aaron is submitting the same guess as Adel. My, for some, my, my logic receptors have basically dissolved and so much fun dip. But. You can bill us for that by the way. So we turn people's brains to mashed potatoes. But basically, that's where my head got to before I ran out of reasons why.

But yeah. Now, if you do bill us for your logic receptors being fried, keep in mind that we use the American Medical Insurance Program, we do not have a national health service. Okay, great. logic receptors being fried, keep in mind that we use the American medical insurance program. We do not have a national health service. Okay. So, well, well, hey, Rato Rato is responsible for a portion of it. The grand portion is going to unfortunately.

It's fine. I'll solder them back together myself. Don't worry, honestly. But that is correct. You're correct right there. Stephanie is a knight because Stephanie is telling the truth, saying Diana is a nave, and Diana is lying, saying neither one of us are naves. That's a lie. She's a nave. Stephanie is a knight because Stephanie's telling the truth saying Diana's a nave and Diana's lying, saying neither one of us are naves, that's a lie. She's a nave, Stephanie is a knight.

Think of a good hot tatah. Congratulations to Adel, Aaron and Max. Ivan, unfortunately, I got your face. Yes. We didn't wait a lot of time. We are running out of it. It's rapidly over here. I want to ask real quick.

So, Ivan, your name is spelled IVAN, which I assumed was Ivan. Is that typical of England in terms of pronunciation or is that unique to your name? It is not typical to England. So, the typical English spelling would be Ivan. You are correct in assuming that, but I am my dad's Argentinian, my parents met in Spain, so I go by Iban, the Spanish pronunciation. I would appreciate if you could sexily say it in a Spanish accent every time. Iban. Iban. There we go.

Thank you. I need to work out in one. I need more time. That was good.van. I can't do it. I need to workshop in more time. I need more time. That was good. That was good. That was good. That was good. Ivan.

Ivan. No, I haven't lost it. Now you sound like Cookie Monster. No. No. No. Speaking of everyone. I don't sound like Cookie Monster.

Speaking of everyone getting their bang on, you meet Marla and Brian. Marla says, we are both knights. Brian says either Marla is a knight or I am a knight, but we are not both knights. What are they? Brian's a coy little character, isn't he? Yes. I guess I should say that Brian is wearing like a turtle neck.

He's breaking a little wheel. He's breaking a little wheel. He's very, very awkward. Well, let her, Brian. He's very awkward, Brian. Well, let's just say one of us is a nine. I would be glad to remind you. Brian also, like he's trying to get everybody's email because he has a poetry reading coming up and so he's like, yeah, we're getting bad vibes from Brian.

So yeah, Marla says we are both knights. Brian says either Marla is a knight or I am a knight, but we are not both knights. I feel like there can be two answers to this. Aaron, interesting. Well, what do you think those two answers would be? Well, this is gonna sound lame, but I think they're one of each.

So like, I feel like Marla could be a knight. Oh, no, it can't. No, I can't. There's only one answer. It's not only one answer. Oh, Aaron, shut up. Okay. She's a Marla's a Navy and Brian's a night. Interesting. Interesting. Does anyone want to co-sign on Aaron's answer there? Please, I can't get this apartment without a co-sign. Please.

I feel that is correct. I think that's correct as well. Also, is it Brian? Sorry. It's Brian. Yes. I mean, he's putting out quite a lot of options there, you know, Marla is just saying one thing. Brian's like, it's a little sweaty. Yeah, you know, three different, it could be this or this or this, you know. I feel like he's hedging his bets.

Did he offer three? Well, he said either Marla is a knight or I am a knight, but we are not both knights. So there is technically three. Yeah, okay. Gbc, I have an answer, but I don't know if it's permitted. Can I run it by you?

Absolutely, everything is permitted here. They're both knights, but they're very, very drunk. You know when you're drunk and sometimes you forget like how old you are and stuff that. There's some additional context for this like it's last call. Uh, Brian and Marla like they weren't really talking for most of the night, but they've kind of taken a view of the bar. They've seen that there may be their only options.

Uh, she's like, she's already given them the email for the poetry contest. So it's, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion. What's going to happen here? But yeah, we're just humoring them with this. We're all last. Okay, okay, okay. Um, but yeah, we're just humoring them with this. Last good. Yeah, good, good. But I don't know that isn't correct.

Thank you. And by the way, that's me and JPC's origin story. He didn't have it rhyme, but that is how we know. Oh, it's beautiful. Yeah, Americans don't usually have it rhyme. That's something that we typically do. That's very old fashioned. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry, let me take that again, both Ivonne. That's too vampire, let me do one more.

Ivonne, Ivonne, do suck your blood. We'll leave it. Ivonne and Aaron are both correct because the answer to this riddle is that you just don't have enough information to determine what Brian is. Marla is definitely a nave because she's saying that we are both nights and that can't possibly be true, so she's a nave. But Brian could either be a night or a nave because if Marla, let's assume that Marla is a nave,

if Brian is a night, then a statement is true because he's a night and Marla is a nave, but if Brian is a nave, then a statement is false because neither he nor Marla is a night. So, wait a second. You said the answer is we don't have enough information. That's not a fucking answer.

Fuck you. I want to see a scene. I want to see a scene. Aaron, you are the head of some sort of secret organization. Uh, Ivan, you are, um, one of the top agents of this organization, uh, um, a much like a James Bond type. And Aaron, you are sending Avon on a mission, but you are not giving him at all nearly enough information.

Ivon, please step into my office, please. Yes, mom. Here is your envelope with your next mission. Excellent. It's very dangerous. The most dangerous one we've ever sent you on. Be sure to tell your family goodbye before you go. Well, look, I, first of all, I don't have a family because my only family is my loyalty to the country. And I guess I... We didn't ask you to

do that, by the way. No, and I'm willing, I'm willing to do it because I love I love this country and I'll do anything anything for it And I'm willing to risk my sorry that Doesn't seem to be that much in this envelope I'm just a it just says it just says off you go well Sorry, what what what's the actual the actual mission is it? I mean the letter just says complete mission Yes, I Figured that would be, and then I wrote this little diagram. It's a map. Oh, thank you. Thank you, sorry.

It's like, when you get there, you're going to do like a loop. Okay. And then, no, sorry, let me start over this. And so, just clarify where there is, first of all, I just need to know where that is. Oh, what is that place? Ah, it's like, to America it's like America's little hat. It's like above it. It's like, shoot Canada.

No, you know what? Southeast Asia. Right. You're going to Southeast Asia. And oh gosh, they said it's a, it's urgent. You have to be there now and ooooh. Uh-huh. Hello. How would you go?

And then I'll give you a call when I remember any of the details. Mind if I pop my head in a- cue here, your superior. Uh, good luck with all the old- you know, I- excuse me, I've been briefed. Here's the piece of string you'll need, anyway. Thank you. I'm clocking off and going on quite a long summer holiday now, but all the best. Cheerio, bye-bye. Right.

You just fill out the window. Ah, I'm done. Drop and roll, and off we go. Straight to the NHS hospital. Seeing. That was what the string was for. To catch Q, as we're following out the window. Yes.
