This is a HeadGum Podcast. I'm on a horse and I'm riding. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Adol, GBC.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, just come in here quick, sorry.
Oh, okay, great, yeah, sorry.
I have to be invited to. So you have to invite us in. Yeah. Uh, come, yeah, just come in here quick. Oh, okay, great. Yeah, sorry. I have to be invited in.
So you have to invite us in.
Yeah.
Yeah, classic.
Um, I...
Because Adel and I had a pretty interesting night
last night, if you, and to a certain degree,
it's still kinda going on, if you know what I'm saying.
I'm not gonna ask about it.
You're fishing and I'm not gonna ask.
We went to a rave.
At some point, the sprinkler system turned on,
but it wasn't water, it was blood.
It was crazy.
It was crazy. Yeah. And Aaron, at first, you could probably guess we were like, uh-oh,
what is this? But we grew to like it if you catch Spider.
I didn't ask.
Lampire.
What was that, Aaron?
Who was there?
Did you say it?
Did you ask if Steve Dorf was there? Yeah, he was there. Stephen Dorff was a DJ. Dorff was there.
But he doesn't go by Stephen Dorff when he DJs.
He goes by Dorff on music.
You didn't have to do this.
Yeah.
Anyway, guys, I sort of have my own thing going on today.
I did. I messed up.
Oh, how can we help?
I messed up. I messed up.
Yeah.
You messed up.
Because you let a couple of guys into your house that you probably shouldn't have let in unless you wanted to get bit. I messed up. I messed up. Yeah. You messed up. No. No.
Because you let a couple of guys into your house that you probably shouldn't have let in unless you wanted to get...
I can't tell you how little I care about what you two have going on today.
I did a crazy thing.
But Erin, I want to suck your dick.
No. No.
Remember last week?
No. Sit.
Oh.
You sit. Sit. Sit.
Wow, she's glamouring us.
Erin, glamouring is a term that a select few can use to order someone around, and it's working.
You know how I love Dungeons and Daddies? Oh, yeah. You got that tattoo on your neck.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That sweet neck.
Stop it. Okay.
Sit. Yes.
I got drunk, and I may have tried to kidnap several of the cast members of Dungeons and
Dungeons.
Yeah, okay.
Went to Beth May's house.
I don't know.
It's all a blur.
Beth May, a child of the night.
I woke up.
What sweet music.
And Anthony Burch is tied up in my kitchen.
Okay, thank God it's Anthony.
I thought you were going to say Friday,
but I was like, that guy is Vampire Hunter
coded like 100%.
I cannot be anywhere near him right now
with what's going on specifically.
I have an extra mic on me always. Here we go.
Let me take off the gag.
And this was what we were doing the whole time.
It wasn't a kidnapping.
It was Anthony Burch.
Welcome to the podcast.
Hey, hi.
Tell my wife I love her.
Tell Bethany that she's like fine.
And-
I will not, sir.
I will say she's fantastic.
Hi, hi. Big fan of the show. Go on, Tai you. Yeah, you can go on over. I will not sir. I will say she's fantastic. Hi hi
Yeah, I'm Ty you yeah, you can go on thank you so much Anthony. We're so glad to have you guys have vampire kind of vibes Yeah, I'm a vampire. Thanks for asking that sucks to hear kind of vibes. We went to hot topic and blew our load
What and we believe we're actually that's what hot topics for What was the last time any of you were in a hot topic? Oh? You are low. What? And you bought a lot? We were asked to leave. We were asked to leave.
That's what Hot Topic's for.
What was the last time any of you were in a Hot Topic?
Oh, recently, like within the last year.
Yeah.
No way.
Yeah, because I can't remember.
Oh, Mariah went to the mall.
Shopping for your kid?
I'm sorry.
Do you not have anything for babies in here?
Babies can be goths too.
What sucks about Hot Topic is I remember Hot Topic from when I was a kid and
it was like, you know, chain wallets and like, kind of now it's just like a Spencer's gift.
They're all the same store. Like it's just, it's just like novelty, like dildos and weird. It just,
it doesn't, it didn't seem fun anymore, but I hadn't been in a mall in so long that when I
saw a Hot Topic, I was like, oh, I gotta go in a mall in so long that when I saw a hot topic,
I was like, oh, I gotta go in.
And it was pretty disappointing.
It was not the hot topic of my youth.
This was supposed to be a place where you can like
get Stewie Griffin on a motorcycle saying like
the N word or something.
It is that now, it's that now.
And it's like, it's a bummer.
Mall culture, it's not the same.
It don't hit the same.
I just had a memory come flooding back to me that...
Do you guys remember the OC?
Yeah.
Of course.
Do I remember the OCS? I do.
Aaron never did, but the show, it was very good.
Seth Cohen used to have those novelty t-shirts.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, I do love using the character name too.
Yeah, yeah.
And some of them were at Urban Outfitters
and some of them were at Hot Topic.
And I remember going to the mall with my sisters,
trying to find his t-shirts.
Wait, they're Beanie Babies, you gotta get them all?
Yeah.
Did you remember some of the t-shirts?
Would they say, talk to the hand?
What was the novelty?
I don't remember.
One was like, have you hugged my t-shirt today
or something?
Some sort of pervert.
My other.
Pervert.
Pervert messaging.
My other car is the Taco Bell Chihuahua.
OK, actually, I need that t-shirt right now.
You can send it to my house.
Anthony, thank you so much for being here today.
And as I want to do, I was looking over our list
of guests, because I was like, I'm trying to do, I was looking over our list of guests,
cause I was like,
I'm trying to remember the last time we had Anthony
on the show and I was going back through it
and I was like, oh God, I don't, we, we, we,
I don't think we've ever had you on the show officially.
You've been on the show in many different capacities before,
but never on the actual Hey Riddler Riddler main episode
before. And so I would just like to start off
by apologizing to you for this gross,
this absolute gross dereliction of duty.
Welcome to the show.
Finally I'm vindicated.
Finally the bridesmaid has become the bride.
Everything is as it should be.
So it sounds like no charges for the kidnapping.
No.
Dropping it.
It's actually what I'm into so it's again. Phew, whew, whew.
It's actually what I meant too, so it's fine.
That would have been my third strike.
But it also makes me very happy because I can ask you this
and it's not like a repeat question.
Anthony, what is your relationship
with riddles and puzzles?
I've loved riddles and puzzles my whole life.
When I was a kid, I don't know if anybody remembers these, but there was like these big stacks of like a bajillion little very vertically aligned,
like rectangular cards that had like a plastic hook through them. They're called like brain quest.
Brain quest. Yeah. I had all those.
Okay. Awesome. Me too.
Amazing.
The two oldest people in the podcast. Finally have something to relate it to. But yeah.
I used to do this with my mom all the time.
Me kicking my brain quest under my desk.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no, I didn't have a brain quest.
Yeah, I've been a fan of those since I was a kid.
They have very fond memories for me hanging out with my mom.
Let me ask about brain quests,
because I also remember brain quests.
I think we had a couple of them,
but I don't think we had like a ton of these.
I remember them physically, but like what kind of shit was on them?
Was it, in my mind, it was like whale facts, but that could be
something completely different.
I think it was a bunch of, I, I remember getting them through the
Scholastic Fair and I feel like they were delineated by like grade.
So it'd be like second grade, first grade, like it would go through the grades
maybe, and then I feel like it was just random trivia.
It was just trivia.
Okay. I think so.
I think there's a mixture of trivia
and like little riddles and jokes and things like that.
Damn.
I wonder if they still come to the theater
to see if they still sell those.
I'm sure they don't.
They have, they don't have brain quest anymore.
And that's why that, I wonder.
Oh, they still do it.
Oh, they still do it?
Yeah. They have do it? Yeah.
I bought them.
They have this modern brain quest?
You can get them on Amazon.
Hell yeah.
I might buy some to do on the show
because those were delightful.
Don't buy them to do on the show.
Just say like, oh, we wish we had them.
Do we have a mailing address?
I guess we have a mailing address.
I wish we had them.
Oh, we got 14 of the same brain quests.
Fuck.
God damn it.
Now they're all in my house.
God damn it. I they're all in my house. God damn it.
I didn't think this through.
You're going to send us any fourth grade and below.
I want you to be realistic about our intellect.
Don't send us seventh grade brain quests.
That's an insult.
Me popping three ibuprofen
and trying to read a seventh grade brain quest
being like, oh my God.
Ow.
They're all just about puberty.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, it sucks to hear that you like riddles
because that kind of makes us not having you on sooner
look pretty bad on us.
Yeah, I've also submitted riddles to this show.
I can't have a little bonus episode.
Yeah, you've done your riddles on the show.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you?
Seen every, heard every episode of the show also. Oh the show. Yeah. Yeah. Um, are you seeing every heard every episode of the show also?
Oh, my gosh. Yeah.
And you think you should keep going to be deserve an apology.
It's no serial, but it'll do.
Ha ha ha. We're not trying to be serial.
I'm so tired of people going like they're aiming to be serial
and they're just landing.
You should go for that.
Just do multi-part riddles that sort of tie into one another and ultimately about
the carceral system of America mm-hmm all right we're not trying to be serial
but I don't know why every episode I say Mel Kim yeah and I bring up Pat Tillman
constantly have you done an escape room recently yeah yeah I'd say within the
last six months oh wow and with a new no it was the worst escape room recently? Yeah. Yeah. I'd say within the last six months. Oh, wow. And was it good?
No, it was the worst escape room I've ever done.
Whoa.
Things kept breaking.
And so instead of like inputting codes into a thing that would make something open,
our docent was just like, just scream a word at the door and I'll open it for you.
And it was like, oh, that sucks.
There's a bunch of really obscure puzzles and a lot of things that were based on
the docent, like activating things rather than things actually changing in the
room naturally.
Well, these two guys, I forgot their names, Adel and JPC, are going to be in
Southern California soon and we can all do an escape room together.
That'd be so fun.
And I'm going to be in Chicago in a couple of weeks.
I'm going to see Seattle and JPC.
Oh, you'll we're going to talk about you. be in Chicago in a couple of weeks. I'm going to see Seattle and JVZ. Oh, you'll.
We're going to talk about you. I'll pull up a picture of that.
You can see a picture of that on my phone. I'll show you.
Yeah, I'm like a modern day version of what he looks like.
An approximation.
Well, I'm old man puzzles today. Still.
You want us to react to that or give you a nickname or what were you hoping for?
I don't know, I was hoping for applause or sympathy
or thank you so much.
There she is.
There's her.
Please, don't.
That's what I said I was.
Expect it.
Yes, when I say old man puzzles, I want you to go,
there she is.
There she is.
I need that kind of encouragement.
My instinct is to go, aw.
Yes. Thank you. Erin, I kind of encouragement. My instinct is go, aw. Yes, thank you.
Erin, I don't know why I thought of you,
but I don't know if you've seen this viral TikTok
where it's like two parents in a hotel room or something
and they're like, who wants to go to Disneyland?
Oh, and then that baby that's a thousand years old.
You know what I'm talking about?
There's like a four year old who's like, I do, and then there's a baby who raises its finger
like a Victorian professor and goes, me!
First of all, it's a shock that that baby can talk at all.
And the fact that it knows what the Four Seasons is,
is insane.
The baby's eyes are so educated.
And as soon as I saw it, I was like,
Aaron needs to see this, and then I forgot to send it.
It's just the Six Flags bald guy, but with better eyes.
Yeah.
It's, one of my favorite stitches I saw someone do
is someone superimpose a full suit on the baby.
It was very funny.
Sometimes the internet's okay.
The Six Flags bald guy, who, by the way, I love that guy.
You know how there was that-
There's no character more JPC coded
than the Six Flags bald guy.
Thank you so much for saying that.
That's so true.
That means the world to me.
You know that guy that did,
I think he did Verizon commercials,
the Can You Hear Me Now?
And then he switched over to Sprint.
Yeah, the traitor.
Yeah, well when that guy betrayed Sprint,
which you never betray Sprint,
or whoever he betrayed to do whatever,
I was like, this is perfect.
This opens up a world of that being allowed,
and I would love the Six Flags bald guy
to do Taco Bell commercials.
He's like, let him breathe.
Here's a quicker way to get diarrhea
than going to Six Flags.
Not really.
You see the Noid pops up and he's like,
actually Little Caesar's is great.
The Noid, where have you been?
What's going on?
Yeah.
And also, I get that it's a conflict of interest
and that's why we hate the Verizon guy who did that thing.
But the Noid could certainly do home insurance commercials.
He could team up with the Aflac Duck, that's fine.
Yeah, I feel like the equivalent would be like Disney parks
if he started.
Yeah, I think stay in your lane,
but you can switch brand loyalty.
You can switch brands, okay, that makes sense.
I think if these were the Disney parks,
you would just see him getting lynched by Mickey and Goofy.
They would make a symbol of him to scare other people off.
Not in our backyard.
I'm putting the true detective,
but the Six Flags bald guy.
I would fly to Disney World immediately if I saw that commercial.
I love Mickey and Goofy sitting in like a Chevy Impala watching Starlings form shapes.
Time is a flat circle.
Can you stop saying Goofy shit? Is it possible for you to stop saying goofy shit for once?
Have you ever read The Yellow King?
Mickey getting handcuffed and fucked, why not?
No, no, no.
Too far?
No, I don't know why.
We're having fun.
We're having fun, Aaron.
Speaking of stopping having fun, let's do some riddles.
These are some listeners submitted riddles.
And just wait a second.
You'll see why I chose this one.
They're going to be Anthony's.
They're going to be Anthony's.
No, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
Hi, Addle, Aaron, and JPC.
I just learned about Hey Riddle Riddle from Dungeons and Daddies last year.
Hey, you're welcome.
And they have submitted a bunch of great riddles.
And these are from Maria.
So thank you, Maria.
Thank you, Maria.
I waited until Anthony was on the show to do these.
And we would, of course, promote Dungeons and Daddies,
but we've been legally told
they absolutely don't need our help.
And anytime we mention it, you lose thousands of followers.
Yeah, if you showed up on the Dungeons and Daddies,
we'd just lynch you publicly as a symbol of the other.
As you should.
Uh, these are some homophone warm-up riddles.
Okay.
The answer to each riddle is a homophone
that is both a noun and a verb.
Um, it could be other parts of speech too,
but it's definitely at least a noun and a verb.
Okay, don't miss one or you'll surely fall
to watch paint dry blank at the wall.
Stare?
Stare? Yep, stare, stare.
Okay, that is a noun and a verb.
I'm ready, I'm ready.
Stare and stare is a noun and a verb.
Okay, so you weren't ready when I started,
but now you're ready.
You said that there's also another part of it,
and I was like, some of these could be prepositions.
And I was like, I know all the prepositions.
If the answer to this is of, I got this in the prepositions. And I was like, I know all the prepositions.
If the answer to this is of,
I got this in the fucking bag, dude.
Of is definitely not a preposition.
Fuck!
Erin, you know that painting,
a nude descending a staircase?
Do you think they were falling?
Yes.
Okay.
That's why there's that big speech bubble that says fuck.
Yeah.
And there's a lego,
so they painted a lego at the top of the stairwell.
You save one for a tardy friend.
It puts your standing to an end.
A chair.
Spot. No.
Chair, chair.
You are close.
Seat?
Yes, seat.
Oh, seat.
Okay, seat.
There's only one.
Oh, seat, seat, gotcha.
You'll need it underneath your plants.
You sometimes do this in your pants.
Pissed!
No!
I pot in my pants.
Soil.
Yes.
Soil.
Anthony is sort of sweeping this.
Well, yeah, he listens to every episode.
I do want to see a scene.
In this scene, I'm going to be the teacher in a classroom.
And Adol,
you have just soiled yourself, but you're trying to think of another way to tell the teacher
without saying it so that no one in class knows that you soiled yourself.
Okay, everybody, open up your books to page seven. And we're going to read a little story.
Oh, boy. Page seven, everyone. And then we're going to we're gonna read a little story. Oh boy.
Page seven everyone and then we're gonna do popcorn style so I'm gonna start.
Excuse me.
Yes, Erin.
Tommy cursed.
Oh.
No I fucking didn't.
Oh sorry I guess it was.
Which Tommy?
Tommy T. Tommy T is allowed to curse because his parents are going through a divorce but Tommy T
remember.
They fucking hate each other.
That's two Tommy you get three for the day.
So...
All right.
Okay.
That's fine, Tommy T.
And thank you again for narking, Aaron.
As we all know, we're, say it together,
we're safer when we nark.
Safer when we nark.
Yes.
It was Tommy V who cursed.
Tommy V, now your parents have a loving marriage.
You shouldn't have cursed.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
It's just that I, um, I Frenched my fries.
Oh, uh, well, that's okay.
Yeah, that's fine.
No, I lost my dog.
Now again, what did we say?
Can he swear if he lost his dog?
No, the only person in this class is Tommy T.
And he can swear because his parents are going,
and it's a nasty divorce.
God damn right.
That's your third one, okay?
And now it resets.
Now I can increase the severity of my curses.
You're on level two.
Get ready for some slurs.
You're on level two.
Level two is slurs.
And yes, it is lucky.
It is lucky because, Aaron, as we all know,
your parents need a divorce.
But what do we always say in class?
We can't convince our parents to get a divorce.
We shouldn't meddle in their relationship.
That's their relationship.
The dad's fault.
Now, Tommy V.
Tommy V, it hurts me to hear you say
that it's the dad's fault,
because we know that oftentimes, what do we always say in class about whose fault it is when parents get divorced?
And just Tommy-
The kids.
All right, Erin, that's a gold star for you.
Thank you.
Is it true that you've gone on dates at the Olive Garden with Tommy T's mom?
I wouldn't say dates.
I'm supposed to narc. I'm narking.
Teacher, what ethnicity are you
so I can get the slur correct?
See.
I'm mildly Italian.
Well, of course, when you're at Olive Garden.
Yeah, when you're mildly Italian.
Fucking breadstick.
And of course, Casey beat that.
We can't have people being called breadsticks on the podcast.
Don't tweet about it.
It'll be all over.
Only the Sopranos can do that.
Isn't maybe necessarily true,
but we can discuss it after I read it.
It's like a pub where dancing's done,
but it can block your way blank none.
Bar?
Bar. Bar.
Yeah.
Are people dancing at bars?
Maybe like a country bar?
I would say that people are dancing at bars,
but I don't think they're dancing at every bar.
You know, like I would say that if I went to a,
there are bars that I can think of
that I would still call a bar and people are dancing there,
but I don't think if I went to a neighborhood bar,
there's gonna be people dancing.
I guess Beauty Bar in Chicago.
Yeah, I would say that's a bar.
Cause like, there are some things that are not quite a club
that I'm like, oh, this is still a bar,
but it's got music and dancing.
I'd like to see a scene.
Anthony, you are a bartender and JPC,
you've been a little over served and you're starting to dance at the bar and Anthony's not having it.
Oh, you're back, huh?
Another vodka soda, another vodka and soda.
Are you sure? I feel like you've already had like three or four.
Three, four, five, six.
There's no music playing.
My shoulders like this in years. Oh, I love it, ooh ah ah ah. There's no music playing.
My shoulders like this in years.
Oh, I love it.
What is this bar called?
I love this place.
It's called the, it's called the last shot
and you just had yours buddy, so you can go ahead and.
Hit me with your last shot.
Vodka and soda.
No, I need two more, please, two more.
Can I get, can I get all of my drinks at once
and then I swear to God, I won't bother you for another hour. If if you only want two more I- I- I- yeah fine fine if it'll get you out of my face.
Here you go. There's one.
Ooh. Oh.
Here's two.
Out of my face. Do you vogue? Oh my god we should vogue.
Oots-a-ts, oots-a-ts, oots-a-ts.
I'm voguing in front of your face. You vogue in front of my face.
Okay fine.
Oh you're spilling. You're spilling. You can't pour in vogue. Interesting.
It's really really hard to do so.
Well, yeah. I mean, but you're a bartender.
It's like, shouldn't you be trade? Dance with me.
Oh, my God. You're so you're so tense. I can see it.
Come dance with me.
Could I get a tequila soda? Yes, please.
God, yes. Here's a tequila soda, please. Thank you.
OK. Um, were they asking me to dance tequila soda?
That's my dancing drink.
Yeah, you know what they were. They definitely want you to go dance with them.
Come dance with me. Come dance with me.
Because it's like, people feel safer when you dance as a group.
So let's all dance. Let's all dance in this bar tonight.
Who in this bar wants to dance tonight?
Alright, it sounds like we got some folks who want to dance, so
me and the boys are going to play our number one dancing song.
Here's R.E.M.'s Losing My Religion.
Oh, God.
Oh, I can feel the whole song in my body.
Somebody dance with me.
I can feel the whole song going through my body.
Has it started yet?
Well, that's me in the corner.
There it is.
There it is.
That's me in the spotlight.
Country Losing My Religion.
A toddler might throw one of these.
If you're this, you climb stairs with ease.
If it blanks, a cat can sit.
Won't blank if you've grown out of it.
Cocked it.
Sits, fits.
I think Anthony said it fit.
Yeah, I think so too.
Everyone said such a crazy answer.
What did you say, JPC?
Uh, fit? I said fit.
No, you didn't. No, you fucking didn't.
Pfft. That's your one. Then you get two more. Two more, Erin. Fit I said fit no you didn't know you fucking didn't
That's your one then you get two more two more and then it resets and I can say worse stuff, right? And then you have to move on to slurs

He's helping people get their shoes!
Would you prefer the Puma Sway? They're nice. Seven and a half for the Nike Zoom 4s. He's helping people get their shoes.
Would you prefer the Puma suede?
I guess that makes sense,
because he's like working out the bowling alley
like you is working at the boxing gym.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You grill and kick back in this space,
a way to say punch in the face.
Yard porch. Jab.
You grill in this space? I don't know sometimes I wouldn't necessarily associate this with there being a grill on it I would more like
sitting black time to patio you in the face is it rooftop bar no fuck can you
read it one more time, Erin?
You grill and kick back in this space,
a way to say punch in the face.
Park.

Yard someone in the face.
It's associated with like a house.
Like how some houses have these.
Deck.
Deck somebody.
You deck somebody.
Oh, I don't know.
I'd like to see a scene.
Yeah, considering sometimes you definitely don't
wanna grill on a deck, especially if it's like a wooden deck.
The three of you are at a barbecue and I don't know how,
I don't care how you get there, but by the end of the scene,
someone has to punch someone else in the face.
Oh, and Erin, you're the meats that we're grilling.
Yes, but you won't hear me other than a couple of sizzles.
Sizzles, yeah.
Who wants to hear some new slurs I invented?
Invented, I'm fine with.
Speaking of, your breadstick is almost done on the grill.
Let me just turn this over here.
There you go.
And again, sorry we didn't have something for vegetarians, but I hope this...
A grilled breadstick should be pretty good, yeah.
Ooh, ooh, actually Matt, what do you have in terms of slurs for vegetarians?
Oh, uh, carrot rider.
I can see someone taking offense to that.
Yeah, that's a slur.
Thanks.
Did I tell you guys about work lately?
No.
So, you know, I mean, my job not to brag,
but I'm like a management consultant
and they kind of hire us to,
you've seen Up in the Air with George Clooney right like I've seen
nobody seen it I've seen and I've and I've seen the air up there okay great
well anyway you know I go from place to place and you know firing people and
it's lately I've just I feel like I've been on pun intended fire with lose
having people lose their jobs and livelihoods. It's just like, I feel alive when I'm doing it.
Yeah.
What's the pun?
On fire.
I fire people on fire.
It's a one to one.
You didn't get it.
You don't get it?
And a big reach back and a big punch.
See.
Okay.
I have never wanted anything more in my life
than the Up in the Air video game.
Anthony, who do we need to call right now?
I work at a video game company,
so I can all run out the chain.
Yeah, please.
No, no good.
It needs to be Mr. Beast.
I can't, it can't just be any like rinky-dink video game
company, it's gotta be Mr. Beast.
It's so gray and drab.
Mr. Beast could give like, almost people $1 dollars to develop their own up-in-the-air
video game and compete against one another to see which one was best.
Over Thanksgiving last year I watched like 16 Mr. Beast videos in 24 hours and I think
I have permanent brain damage from it.
Why did you do that, Aaron?
Why did you watch so many Mr. Beast videos?
I don't know.
I feel like that makes you a zoomer.
Like it just de-ages you instantly.
Yeah.
Oh, that's why.
Trying to stay young, are we?
I guess.
And it was also really weird
because I was breaking them up with episodes of Columbo.
So it was like huge swings in opposite directions.
I'd say you broke even.
Yeah, my brain ripped in half at the end.
You were Benjamin Buttoning at 50 times speed.
Yeah, this feels like muscle confusion for de-aging.
They're like, we have to age you
and then your body gets confused
and hopefully we end up six years younger.
It's like the cold, hot therapy that people do.
It's like ice baths to the sauna.
It was not good.
And I will not probably ever recover from this.
Erin, what was the most, oh, go ahead.
Oh, no, please.
Erin, what was the most memorable video or stunt you saw?
Or what was like the most egregious situation?
Do you remember anything?
Yeah, that's actually the better question.
I remember feeling like, I don't know,
when he was buried alive for a week.
What? Oh my God.
I think I watched David Blaine.
And I was like, I don't know about this.
This is hard.
Mr. Beast was buried alive for a week.
Yeah, and then when he was in solitary confinement
for a week and he didn't know how far in he was.
This guy will do anything for clicks.
What the heck is going on?
My favorite one ever was the grocery store
that he was like, I'll give you $10,000 a day
if you stay in this grocery store.
And the guy was super charming, he did it.
How long did he stay?
I think he stayed like 50 days.
Whoa!
But the catch of it was that he had to,
in this grocery store,
give him $10,000 worth of product back every day.
So it can't be infinite.
Oh, okay, what?
Does that make sense?
So like, this guy has to live in this huge grocery store
and he has to get rid of $10,000 worth of product every day.
So- What do you mean get rid of?
So this is a money laundering scheme.
Yeah.
So like- He's working there?
At the beginning he looks at, no, no, no.
They donate all the stuff to shelters and stuff.
So if he stayed for 50 days, it was an air one?
Yes, no.
But it was like, for the beginning
he was giving $10,000 worth of the fruits and vegetables,
because that was going to be perishing first.
You know what I mean?
And then he just kept a bunch of canned things.
So he couldn't stay there. Oh, so he's living living in there and it's not getting restocked with food.
He just has to.
Exactly.
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Yes.
Well, okay.
Why are we talking about Mr. Beast?
This is awful.
You brought it up, Erin.
All right, two more quick and then we'll take a break.
He's your favorite guy, apparently.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
We're going to do two more and then we'll go on a break.
Erin, is Mr. Beast single?
I don't.
What's his name? Eric Beast? I think his name is can take a little break. Aaron, is Mr. Beast single? I don't.
What's his name, Eric Beast?
I think his name is Eric Beast.
Please don't make me date Mr. Beast.
You gotta set you up with Mr. Beast.
Oh no, I don't wanna be Aaron Beast, please.
Whoa.
Aaron Beast is a great name though.
Aaron, what if you were Mrs. Beast?
Oh, Mrs. Beast.
Oh, Mrs. Beast, Mr. and Mrs. Beast.
I would immediately give away all of his money
and take away his cameras.
So you'd divorce him.
Hey, Erin, what is the way that you get to being Mrs. Beast?
Is it by marrying this Mr. Beast or is it by doing a Beauty and the Beast thing with
like a beast from a castle?
Either way, you're ending up as Mrs. Beast.
Which is your preferred way to do it?
I'm going to take option two. Oh
So you're gonna try to meet a French candelabra. Yes
Okay, it's redundant
Don't mind that's funny
You read this then with you read it
I'm not fucking doing your job. You're always trying to get us to do your fucking riddles on your day, it's your day.
I know, I really have been doing that lately.
It's my day off.
I've been begging them to take over Old Man Puzzles
three or four times an episode, yes.
I do wanna see a scene.
Aaron, you are Beauty, you have married Beast, of course,
before he, in the movie does he turn back into a human?
Yeah, he does. He does, unfortunately. Yeah, amen.
So he stays Beast, Erin, you marry him,
you are now Mrs. Beast.
The house has all stayed the same,
nothing's turned back into whatever they were.
So this is Anthony and JPC are Lumiere or Cosworth,
whoever they wanna be, and they're just kinda fed up
and talking back.
Could I get like an omelette? Ugh.
This morning I think I'm feeling an omelette.
Oh yeah, why don't I just make you an omelette?
Oh, it's because I'm a fucking teapot!
What, we're gonna pour you an omelette?
I just thought you could go to the kitchen and ask.
Oh, I thought you could go to the kitchen and ask.
You're married now, don't you know what your job is?
This is the 1800s. There's only one rule for people like you.
Are you smoking? You can't smoke in here.
Yes, I can. Watch me.
Fuck, smoke in my face.
Of course he can smoke. He's a candle.
There's nothing else he can do but smoke.
This is my default.
Okay, I don't know where this attitude came from suddenly. You were supposed to end the
curse. I was supposed to go back to being a person, a human person. I mean he turned back into a
person. Not him, us. Us? I don't give a shit about him. I don't know what to tell you. And also by the way I know that he
turned into like a human man or whatever, but he still obviously wants to do like beast stuff. Like he eats uncooked
meat. That's something human men are not supposed to do. Leave us alone, okay? We're in love,
we're happy. Do your job. Oh, so now we see the real situation. Okay, you didn't know the way it is either
Okay, um I would like some tea
Great, I will just pour that on the floor. I'm gonna pour the fucking tea on the floor
What I've been doing all week all week. I'm gonna sell you both in a garage sale. How about that?
I'm gonna wait wait place to see yeah, you won't you won't
sell us and And then you can end up in a way worse place. Pussy? Yeah, you won't. You won't. Sell us.
And garage sale side, put it out front,
puts these two on a table, free.
Now we wait.
How much is this kind of candlestick thing here?
I will give you $5 to take it off my hands.
She has sex with it.
No, I don't.
She has sex with the candlestick. That was once, and it was a party. We were sex with it. No, I don't she has
That was once and we was a party we were all on drugs and it's never been cleaned sir It's never been half of my head is still inside of hell
See a little that little missing piece that should be a top piece that's gone
Duster see we all agree what we wanted to fuck the feather duster, right?
Oh yeah, 100%.
We were only human.
Gorgeous.
No one fucks like the feather duster.
I watched an improv show this weekend
where below where the improv show was happening
was a full production of Beauty and the Beast.
Whoa.
And it was hysterical.
To hear.
You could hear it, the sound bleed?
Yeah, I'm just watching Tim Lyons do an improv scene
while Gaston plays underneath him, it's very funny.
You read this, then with friends discuss,
you blank it not to miss your bus.
Book. Bible.
Book, yes.
You Bible it.
I Bibled it to the bus this morning and still missed it.
Sometimes it rides in a canoe
when someone closely follows you.
Dog.
Dog.
Yes.
Canoe dog.
Yes.
Well, I'm exhausted.
They're exhausted.
We're all very tired and we're going to take a quick break.
Yes, I'm very tired because it's the daytime.
Oh, no one.
Oh, JBC's Lumiere impression.
Fuck, I should have used that.
That's how you kill vampires is you shove them up your vagina.
It better be.
Hey, Riddle Riddle would like to thank Claretin for supporting this episode and providing us with samples.
Hey, Addle, Addle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you wanna see my impression of me last week
when I had really bad allergies
and I wasn't doing anything?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ah, ah, achoo!
Oh gosh, I feel so sick and can't even do anything.
Oh my, doesn't that sound just like me?
Yeah, that is you to a T.
That is a great impression.
You should have a Vegas residency.
Aaron Keefe does Aaron Keefe. I keep writing them and they keep saying who is this? The city? But luckily for those
of us who live with symptoms of allergies we can live Claritin Clear with Claritin D.
It's designed for serious allergy sufferers and Claritin D has two powerful ingredients
in just one pill that relieve your allergy symptoms and decongest your nose so you can
breathe better. It does sound like me last week.
Oh, that's so good, Addle.
That was so, okay.
No, no, that's fine.
That's good that you're good at my impression too.
Yeah, maybe I should go to Vegas.
I have seasonal allergies myself
and I feel like anytime I step outside
in the spring, in the summer, eyes turn red.
Itchy, itchy, itchy.
My contacts come out.
My nose is running.
Claritin D tackles nasal congestion caused by allergies
or a cold and also relieves sinus congestion
and pressure due to allergies, which is the worst part.
That your nose dripping or being congested
and you feel that pressure right at the bridge of your nose.
That's the worst, that's the worst,
Darren, I'm Aaron Keefe.
Oh my gosh, wow.
Can you believe JPC turned into an owl?

Oh, Adel, Erin, Erin, quick, quick, everybody, quick, please, please, please, please, please,
what's going on?
I've hurt my, I've hurt my, I've hurt my...
What?
Mental health?
JPC, you should try BetterHelp.
BetterHelp, yeah.
You keep saying try BetterHelp.
Yeah, okay, try BetterHelp, yeah, okay, because I've hurt my mental health.
I fell and I hit my mental health on the ground.
JPC, we all carry around different stressors,
big or small.
We get it, I get it.
I've been using BetterHelp for many years
and it works perfectly for my brain.
I can message my counselor anytime.
It's online, convenient, flexible,
and suited to my schedule.
All I had to do was fill out a brief questionnaire and I got matched
with a licensed therapist right away.
And also I can switch therapists anytime for no additional charge.
Yeah.
JPC therapy is a safe space to get things off your chest.
Anytime you play JP Riddles, I have to talk to my therapist and be like, is he
real?
Can he get me in my dreams, et cetera?
Yep.
You have to figure out how to work through whatever's weighing you down.
And for me, it's being terrified that JP Riddles is going to get me in my dreams, et cetera. You have to figure out how to work through whatever's weighing you down. And for me, it's being terrified
that J.P. Riddle's is gonna get me.
I mean, you're in my brain, dude.
I have the same thing.
Have you guys talked to your therapist about the podcast?
I mean, I, of course.
Oh, yeah. Of course.
Oh, yes.
Primarily.
It is a lot about the podcast
when I talk to my therapist.
That's so funny.

Take it from JP Riddle's.
I will have to talk to my therapist
before I'm allowed to do JP Riddle's again.
That makes sense.
No, that makes sense.
Makes sense, I understand that boundary.
Hey, Adol, JPC, great party. Love the No, that makes sense. Makes sense. I understand that boundary.
Hey, Adol, JPC.
Great party.
Love the vibe.
Love the decorations.
So cool.
I'm going to head out.
I'm going to go home.
So nice seeing you.
But great.
Great party.
Wait, are you going home to your Helix sleep mattress?
Yes.
I knew it.
Because the party started six minutes ago, Erin.
Yeah, I just, I'm so tired.
And doesn't that sound so good?
I have a midnight lux and it's perfectly suited
to my sleep needs.
Why would I stay here another minute?
Why?
This is your birthday party that you begged us
to throw for you.
But I guess if you wanna leave after six minutes
to go sleep on your Helix sleep mattress,
it does make sense.
I mean, they do personalize your mattress
and ship it straight to your door free of charge,
which is a pretty good deal.
And Erin, I don't know if you've noticed, but we swapped out the floorboards for Helix Sleep mattresses.
You're standing on one right now. You know, Helix knows there's no better way to test out a new mattress than by
standing on it in a house,
replacing the floorboards with a mattress, or by sleeping on it in your own home.
That's why they offer a hundred night trial and a 10 to 15 year warranty
to try out your new Helix mattress.
And everybody is unique and everybody sleeps differently.
And that's why Helix has several different mattress models
to choose from each designed for specific sleep positions
and feel preferences.
I have the best mattress in the world.
People compliment every time they sleep over
and sleep in my bed.
Everyone thinks it's the best mattress ever.
Oh yeah, Casey was saying it was amazing.
He said he accidentally kicked you out of bed.
He was so comfortable.
Yes, but that's a story for another time.
Happy birthday to me.
I'd rather hear it now.
And listen, don't take our word for it.
Helix has been awarded the number one mattress
picked by GQ and Wired Magazine.
It is even recommended by multiple leading chiropractors
and doctors of sleep medicine, and doctors of sleep medicine and doctors of
sleep medicine. Thank you, Casey, as a go to solution for improving
your sleep. Plus, Helix is offering 20% off all mattress
orders and two free pillows for our listeners. Just go to
helixsleep.com slash riddle. That's helixsleep.com slash
riddle. This is their best offer yet and it won't last long. With
Helix, better sleep starts now.
Bye, all, bye, AJBC.
Happy birthday, our Zoom.
Wow, she can really run.
She can really zoom.

Hey, hey, guys.
I'm ready to record a Riddle podcast, I guess.
Something different about you,
kind of can't put my finger on it.
Hope you're not ticklish,
really trying to put my finger all over
what's different about you.
Yeah, no, sorry, I'm just,
I'm just sort of mentally exhausted from doing,
I don't know why we started doing a riddle podcast.
It's just been so many years
and I just feel a little depleted.
Yeah, Adel, you've been sort of bottling up these emotions
about the choice that you made to start a Riddell podcast.
I'm actually, you know what?
I think you could maybe talk to a therapist about that.
Have you tried BetterHelp yet?
Oh yeah, BetterHelp.
They're fantastic.
I should go back to them.
Yeah, yeah.
If you're thinking of starting online therapy, Adel,
you've got to give BetterHelp a try.
And there's no better time to start sorting through
the whole thing about starting a Riddell podcast than five years after you did it and you've
kind of... Well, I guess the better time would be, you know what, there's no wrong time.
I'll put it like that.
Adel is entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule. All
you have to do is fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist and
you can switch therapists anytime for no additional charge. I use BetterHelp and I love being able to message my counselor
anytime. It's the best to actually talk about my feelings while I'm feeling them.
It is the best. I used to use them and then I just started recording Riddle Podcasts nonstop.
I have three or four other Riddle Podcasts on the side.
That's smart. No, that's smart because you have to diversify because you don't want to
put all of your riddles
in one egg basket.
Uh-huh.
Wait, riddles in an egg basket.
So a chicken, so which comes first?
Don't use it on your other podcast,

The podcast is stopping.
What? No. Hold on.
Wait, wait, wait.
No, my three or four side. This one will always be going.
Oh, go, hip, hip, hooray.
Hooray, riddle, riddle.
Okay, we are back from break. We're still doing riddles submitted by Maria who loves
Dungeons and Daddies and listens to our show. I don't know if she even likes it, but maybe.
Thank you, Maria.
She mentioned specifically that she loves Dungeons and Daddies and didn't say anything
about our show. That sucks. No, she says, I'm not scrolling up, I confuse my coworkers by referencing Aaron's boss lady
business bitch bit and singing Santa baby and ending every line with my wife. So we
broke her brain. Yeah. Oh, she loves the podcast. She loves the podcast.
Oh, good. Oh, okay. Oh, but which podcast?
Doesn't say. We, I went, this weekend, my wife and I were going to,
I think it was like a, oh, it was an Einstein Brothers bagel
and my wife ordered and the person said,
can I get a name for the order?
And my wife said, her name, Mariah, she said Mariah.
And the person goes, I don't know how to spell that.
And I was like, I,
Whoa.
It was very funny too, cause it wasn't, she didn't say like, could you to spell that. And I was like, I, it was very funny too.
Cause it wasn't, she didn't say like,
could you please spell that for me?
She just said, I don't know how to spell that.
And I was like, oh, that's such a,
that's such a fun way of like,
most of the time people who work at that place,
they just guess or they're like,
write down something that sounds like it.
And so my wife, who has a lot of patience,
she said, it's just Maria with an H. And then
that person was like, oh, Maria with an H. And then of course they called the name Maria,
of course, which is fine. But then we were walking past that Einstein brothers like hours
later and that person was getting off work and they walked out and they said, Mariah?
And Mariah was like, yeah. And she goes, Mariah, I'll never forget how to spell that now. And
then walked away and I was like, you just like she goes, Mariah, I'll never forget how to spell that now. And then walked away and I was like,
you just like improve that person's life forever.
That's so funny.
But also not spelling your name.
You also just said a different name and then add an H,
which is kind of how to spell it.
I know how to spell it.
I don't know how to say it.
Yeah, I could never say it again.
See, when I have that, people are like, what's your name?
I'm like, Adel, and they're like, come on man
I'm like Adam. I guess this is actually not something I'm doing to you. I'm so sorry
Crazy Adam
We're gonna do some movie portmanteaus, which we've done on the show before
The clue will describe the plots of two separate movies mashed together and And the answer will be a portmanteau
of these two movie titles.
Spelling doesn't matter, just sounds.
If I'm not mistaken, didn't Anthony
submit some of these previously?
Yeah.
Or something similar, right, Anthony?
I did something with like, it was like,
six degrees is Kevin Bacon kind of with like movie titles.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, which was fantastic.
And we never got the chance to ask you Anthony, since you had just submitted them
and we weren't talking to you directly,
but are you like a movie guy?
You like a movie buff?
Do you enjoy cinema?
Yeah.
Okay, name three movies, Hot Shot,
the ID separate you.
Hot Shot, Hot Shots, Hot Shots Part 2.
Atlantis Morissette,
a table with sausages on it, fuck, no.
I haven't seen these, I haven't seen these. Uh, yeah, yeah, those are great.
I love those too.
Whew.
The cinematography in those is impressive.
Okay. Shot for shot.
And if the title includes the,
it may not play into the answer.
Gotcha. Does that make sense?
Everyone on? Yes.
These are still from Maria, by the way.
Here's the example, yes.

I know Adeline are thinking about Lycanthropes because
I would not want to run into one of those guys.
You're a vampire right now.
You have ancient beef with them.
And he smells like ancient beef with them. Dry yeast please.
And he smells like ancient beef.
Yeah, phew, what a stinky wolf.

I realized when I said that,
that I wanted to see a scene.
We'll turn the car around.
Erin, you are going to be working,
this is kind of like a Chris Kindle Mart.
It's like an outdoor holiday, you know, Mart.
That's a great way to describe this.
And you're working at a PsychoCo booth
where you sell hot PsychoCo.
And Adeline, Anthony, you're intrigued
by what that could be.
Ooh, honey, look at this.
Oh, PsychoCo.
Hi.
Oh, those eyes are intense.
Is this a German drink?
Sure.
Are there samples?
Do we have free samples?
Yeah, free samples.
You'll have a very normal day after you drink this.
It smells like motor oil.
Weird.
Yeah, it's very viscous.
That must be the booth over.
And sorry, I'm not telling you how to do your job,
but my husband asked you for a sample and you poured one and drink it
yourself could could did I?
Sorry, my eye is all pupil. I'm having a hard time. Focusing. Do
you want another one?
It sure. Yeah. All right. Here we go. Oh, I drink it again.
Billy me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, are you guys in line?
Okay, the goiter on your neck just started talking to us.
Are you guys in line?
We, well there's only, I think we're the only two here.
Yeah, it's only us.
But we're side by side, so I guess.
Okay, no, you're here, I'm next.
Honey, why don't we really go first?
I think he needs it more than we do.
No, no, no, you got here first. Everything's fine.
No, I'm here! I win!
I win in a dream!
For two... Psycho.
Oh, what the heck. Let's give it a go.

prepared to die.
The Princess and the Bride of Frankenstein.

Also, can I say something?
Mm-hmm.
So this doctor built a bride for himself?
Because it's not the Bride of Frankenstein's monster Because it's not the bride of Frankenstein's monster.
It's the bride of Frankenstein.
It's a science prequel.
I do want to see a scene.
I want to see a scene.
Let's see, Adol, you're going to be playing Frankenstein's monster.
Anthony, you're going to be playing Frankenstein.
And you just built a bride.
It looks like it's for Frankenstein,
but you're trying to break it to him that this is actually going to be your bride and not your monster's bride.
Sure.
Um, friend more than friend?
For me, yeah, I have good news.
So you know how like you're my son, like I made you out of lightning and my own force
of will.
Now you have a mom to sort of take care of you along with me.
Hot mom would rather date.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
We don't have to have those thoughts about mom.
I get to have those thoughts about mom.

so at least I can't follow you around.
That seems.
He chopped himself.
He couldn't live with what he created.
He had to chop himself.
Gotta chop yourself.
And that's not incest because they're not,
they're corpse conglomerate.
I mean, they're not related in any way.
They can-
It's technically an orgy,
cause there's probably 14 people between the two of them.
Every time Frankenstein's monster fucks, it's an orgy.
Wow.
The three of you should teach high school English.
I feel like America's youth could learn a lot
from your views.
Mary Shelley was history's first freak-a-leek-a.
Ha ha ha.

Mary Moore Byron and all these people,
and Percy Shelley invented Archive of Our Own.
Mm-hmm.
Didn't she write it, she was like 19

let's all take one night to write a horror story.
And then she read hers and they're like, what the fuck?
Is that true?
You're not supposed to be that good.
Yeah. It is true.
Yeah, and she was at like this party with like Lord Byron.
Like there was like all these other authors
and her story was good and everyone else was like,
uh, wait, whose wife is this?
Percy Chugging or Charles?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's also crazy too, because like, if you,
I actually don't know if it's true for her,
but maybe it's true for like Lord Byron.
If you like look up when they died,
they died at 31 and you're like, huh?
Well, that sucks.
Cause they're all drinking Psych-O-Co.
Yeah, well, it's the Psych-O-Co.
I would love to see a movie or a play based on that one party.
And all these men feeling inferior.
Erin, another fun little tidbit, and I guess you'll decide if it's fun.
I will.
Bram Stoker put on a play production of Dracula before the book came out.
Two people attended it and then it was shut down immediately.
Why? Because it's too scary?
It was because people thought it sucked.
And then the book came out.
Oh, it sucked. Because they thought it sucked. And then the book came out and people were like, this is...
Oh, it sucked! Because they thought it sucked!
Oh, I didn't even mean to do that.
Are you okay?
First pun you didn't mean to make ever.
It's a Wednesday.
Wednesday. Puns on Wednesday.
A guitar playing loser falls head over heels for a manic pixie dream girl, but in order to win her affection, he must first defeat all seven evil zombies
that are rapidly spreading across the globe
and threatening to end all of humanity.
Ah.
Now, A Guitar Playing Loser could be a lot of films.

A guitar playing loser, what's the-
It's not Scott Pilgrim versus Warboard Z?
It is.
Oh, it is?
Yeah, you got it right.
Oh.
Can you check that again here?
I said the answer.
Yeah, you did.
So, okay, so let me get this straight.
I got the answer to a rental, correct?
Um, and we forgot to mark it, sorry.
We didn't. That's okay.
History will say you didn't.
And Casey, can we mark that?
Okay, Casey is not even typing.
Would have loved to have him type.

An angel named Clarence shows a family man
what the world would be like if everyone confused him
with the messiah.
It really encourages him to look on the bright side of life.
It's a wonderful life of Brian?
Yes. The moon, Mary. Always look on the bright side of life. It's a wonderful life for Brian? Yes.
The moon, Mary, always look on the bright side of life.
Oh, they're crucifying me, Mary.
Mary, give me a bag of ocelot noses, snap out of it.
Use the force, Mary.
Mary.
I think any line in movie history,
Erin, I want you to do this right now.
Think of your favorite line in movie history and then do it in a Jimmy Stewart voice.
Um, but where are his glasses?
He can't see without his glasses.
Okay, now I'll go.
I've seen the extras this 167 times.
It keeps getting funnier every single time I see it.

cinnamon nut this Anthony Burch. Fantastic. And you guys, I want everyone sitting at your desk,
driving a car, folding your laundry.
Pause it, try one.
Try it out, see if it's fun.
Try one for you.
You know what the difference is between you and me?
I make this look good.
I'll have what she's having.
An old school monster from the swampy depths
goes on an underground adventure with his best buds,
seeking out a stash of pirate treasure
that may allow him to save his house from developers.
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing Goonies.
Anthony said it, I think.
Anthony got it, Anthony say it again.
Creature from a black lagoonies.
In my mind I was stuck on Shape of Water,
but I was like, that can't be it.
Ooh.
Remember that movie?
Not my favorite.
The holiest Michael Shannon film.
In this found footage film,
New York is terrorized by a mysterious monster.
Shape of Water?
JPC is a real Shape of Water head.
She fucks the fish.
And we don't get to see it.
Like what a waste of a fucking film.
That's your issue with it is we shouldn't get to see it like what a waste of a fucking film. That's your issue with it
medium yeah
Don't don't don't sit me in that seat for two hours have Michael Shannon talked down to me
And I don't get to see the fish get but do love the shape of water video game. I will say
Yeah, you can get because they make the sexy and interactive. I completely agree
It's one of those $12 steam porn games.
It's just the shape of water.
It's always the same.
I don't know specifically that they're $12.
I don't know.
$12 is just a number I pulled out of there.
Who knows how much those cost?
And Casey, can we go ahead and cut the $12 thing
from the finals?
I would say, Casey, can you turn up the volume of JPC
saying that?
It feels like he knows exactly how much it costs.
This guy hit me with an earmarked again.
In this found footage film, New York is terrorized
by a mysterious monster who just wants to play catch
with his dead dad one last time.
Cloverfield of Dreams.
Yeah.
I'm honestly having a tough time remembering the names of movies.
I'm like, oh, I know that one.
That one is 12 Cloverfield Lane.
No, that can't be it.
Miss Congeniality actor falls victim to some space debris, but manages to survive all
alone except for a wrinkly little guy with bulbous glowing fingertips.
It's safe to say they both just want to go home.
Grab an ET. Sandra Bullock ET.. Grab an ET. Sandra Bullock ET.
All about Steve ET.
Sandra Bullock ET.
All about Steve ET.
All about Steve.
I watched that movie like a year ago.
Don't.
All about Steve or ET?
All about Steve.
And then I watched that weird ET knockoff also like a year ago.
What's the fuck is that called?
Oh, the McDonald's one? Yeah. Yeah, Mac and Me. All about Steve. And then I watched that weird ET knockoff also like a year ago. What the fuck is that called?
Oh, the McDonald's one?
Yeah, Mac and Me.
I didn't know it was a McDonald's ad
until I was watching it.
No one told me.
That's a wild double feature, Aaron.
I know.
We actually, everybody can do that.
That's the new Hey Riddle Riddle challenge.
We will send you a pin if you watch those back to back
and you can prove it to us.
If Mr. Beast can watch them 50 times in a row.
I don't know if I've heard about,
what is All About Steve about?
All About Steve is,
has the guise of it being a romantic comedy,
but it is a Psycho-Co movie.
It is an absolute fucking mess
as to why anyone would write that script,
read that script and think, this is an endearing movie.
Is it newer?
Is there any big names in it?
No, it's a Sandra Bullock.
It's a Sandra Bullock and Bradley Cooper vehicle.
Yeah, but it's like the,
no one is endearing in that movie.
You think like, oh, like I hope this,
you know, she gets the guy,
but she's just like a psycho stalker
who's like insane.
It's wild. It's a wild ride.
Addle, I think you gotta do it.
I think you are the Hayr little representative
doing the double feature. Here's the thing though, Addle,
you can't watch it without going right into Mac and Me.
You have to watch it.
And Addle, you have to be as high as medically possible.
That's a given.
It is wild to, based on the plot of that,
that they are doing a pun on All About Eve.
That is pretty wild.
Is that what the pun is?
I assume it's a play on All About Eve.
I guess it is, yeah.
I assume.
There's so many more of these, and Maria,
just because we're not getting all of them in this episode,

I was in a waiting room,
a children's waiting room,
and they were playing a movie.
Why? It looked like a movie.
I was there with Child.
Also when I was sitting in this waiting room,
it was like a waiting room connected to a different,
like other waiting rooms for people
that didn't have children.
And I was sitting in the children one and there were two guys sitting there and someone
came in and they're like, you guys can't be in here.
You don't have a child.
And the guy goes, I was told I could go to any waiting room.
I was like, that's your answer?
Look around.
There's like toys and shit all over the place.
Just get up and go.
Just be like, oh, I'm sorry.
I'm in the wrong room.
That's insane.
But anyway, but as I was sitting there, there was something on like the screen, like in that, in that children's waiting room. But anyway, but as I was sitting there, there was something on like the screen
like in that in that children's waiting room. And it appeared to be a movie where all the
characters were bees. And I was like, Oh, is this be movie? And I was like, No, this
is this is not be movie. This is another different animated be thing.
This is Rush Hour and you're having a stroke.

Don't ever touch a B man stereo.
What does that mean?
Oh, this is Rush Hour.
It's so fucking funny.
Four magicians pull off an illusion based heist

Their only rule is that on Wednesdays they wear pink.
Now you see mean girls?
Yes.

I was gonna say, now you see me,

No, no, no, no, no, right? Get it. I never said that!
No, no, no, no, no, no, I cheat!
I cheat all the time!
Please believe me!
She called that movie once, Now You Can See Me, and now that's the only thing I can think
of.
I love it!
I think it's a better name for that movie.
Now You Can See Me is so cute!
Oh, tell her I love that.
Now you can see me.
No, no, I won't tell her anything about me.
I don't talk to her.
I don't talk to her.
I swear, I'm cool.
I'm cool.
Ugh, Anthony, now that you've been on a full episode
of Hey Riddle Riddle, what do you think?
I think I was better as a listener.
Is this a hospitable place?
You think better as a listener?
I think you did great.
How did we do? I think you did great.
How did we do?
Oh, you guys were.
Yeah, I think I was better as a listener.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Fair enough.
Can't put that on our posters.
Um, Anthony, do you have anything to plug?
Uh, yeah, I guess I do podcasts called Dungeons and Daddies.
It's a it's an RPG comedy podcast about
four dads who fall into the Forgotten Realms on a quest to rescue their lost sons. We just
started our third season, which is a Call of Cthulhu horror comedy thing. It's called
Peachyville Horror. It's set in a Leave It to Beaver Town, but with Cthulhu shit.
Yeah, and we're doing a live tour. If you're in Chicago, we'll see you at our Chicago

Yes. Beautiful. Cool. Yeah.
Very, very cool. Then you.
I saw Muse there last year.
I are you going to do some of the same stuff that Muse did, Anthony?
Yeah, we're going to do a bunch of protest songs.
We're going to dress up like cowboys.
Breathe, breathe into the mics as you're talking.
Would you rather he die?
Would I rather the guy from Muse die?
I mean, how long do you have?
No, no, he's fine now.
He's fine now.
I would like to plug our Patreon, patreon.com slash hey, Riddleriddle.
A lot of really fun stuff.
You can get all of the ad free episodes
of Dungeons and Daddies on our Patreon.
Yes.
What I do is I just download them from their Patreon
and I repost them.
Oops, big spoiler, but that's what I do.
It's a real, can you hear me now, Betrayal?
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Now you can hear me.
Adel, anything to plug?
Uh, I want to plug.
Speaking of Muse, I want to plug Bill Buds.
They did a review of, um, Matt Bellamy and the Boys, uh, Supermassive Blackhole.
Also, uh, please check out sitcom DND.
They just hit their hundredth episode somewhat recently.
Anthony was on that show playing a guy named Anthony.
Mm-hmm.
You were such a great guest.
And you DM'd an episode of that show.
I did.
You're lucky.
And check out Hello from the Magic Tavern
and also check out Dungeons and Daddy's Patreon,
which also has some phenomenal content.
Shit, I should have said that.
Matt Bellamy and the boys does kind of sound like what
you would like, if he was doing a muse show,
but they couldn't like legally use that name for that night.
Yeah, if they were, if they were singing like a country
version of REM's Losing My Religion,
that would be sung by Matt Bellamy and the Boys.
I'd also like to plug Anthony's new up in the air video game.
He has promised to drop all other projects to focus on that
full time. So it should be coming to you by Christmas, right, Anthony?
Yeah, there's a creative character, but you can only make George Clooney.
If I could create a character, why would I not make George Clooney? Like if that's an
option, I'm going with that option every time. The guy ages like a fine fucking wine.
We played a preview of it. The boss battle, I think it's the third level, where you have to give 20,000 miles of your airline points to Vera Farmiglia.
I think that was just so fun.
Huh? Vera Farmiglia?
Oh, great. Yes.
Yeah. You get to the Vera Farmiglia boss battle at the end, you finally beat her,
and then you realize that she's been fucking married this whole time?
If you've never seen Up in the Air,
I've just ruined it for you.
And then you have to out terrible Boston accent her.
And then it switches over to the departed.
Doesn't that sound like a vampire name?
Vera Famiglia.
Vera Famiglia.
Famiglia.
JBC, do you have a review to read?
Yes, I do want to read a review.

HRR gets me through my days.
It is my go to the grocery store, cook dinner, hang out,
and ignore my family go-to.
I find myself laughing out loud while alone in my house
at least once per episode.
I started a few months ago on episode one,
and I'm currently up to early 2023.
Can't wait to get to the present since we all know that it's a gift. I hope that you hear this one
day Pancho Carmano and know you've made it to the present. It's bad here. It's cold here.
Trump's about to get elected again. Go back. Aaron, what's the coldest planet now that Pluto's out of the running?
