This is a HeadGum Podcast. I'm only. The Mighty Big Dork Haters!
Excuse me, sir, ma'am.
I've never met the two of you before, is that correct?
Yes.
I don't think so, unless you're wearing some sort of prosthetics.
We've never met before.
Well, honey, I'm just saying he could be wearing like a fake nose. Oh, of course.
I know.
But you know.
Yeah, it's cause you've been burned before.
This has happened to you a lot.
That doesn't mean everyone's wearing prosthetics, you know?
I feel like it was so traumatizing to not know that was my mom.
I know.
I know.
On the street.
I punched her. Is it? But we're in the middle of a magic show, right? Hold on, let me on the street. I punched her.
Right.
But we're in the middle of a magic show, right?
Let me ask you a question.
OK, yeah, you're right.
You're right.
What was triggering for you in a traumatic way?
Was it the fact that it was your mom,
or was it just the fact that you were being
lied to vis-a-vis prosthetics?
All right, honey, now I'm starting
to think that maybe this is a person wearing.
I just need to know, because for most people everything's fine, but...
Mom if that's you, we buried you two months ago, I am going to be very upset.
Great news, so great news, it's definitely not the mom one.
Not to pooch what it is.
Okay great, then just keep doing your trick.
Well...
That's what mom would say honey, that's what mom would say.
Alright let's just see.
Okay. Just do the trick, just do the trick. Let's That's what mom would say, honey. That's what mom would say. Alright, let's just see. Okay.
Just do the trick. Just do the trick.
Ugh.
Let's have this... let's have this happen.
You two sit down.
Actually, why don't you two leave the show? Full refund.
Pfft.
Cause it's not even worth it.
No, no. We want to see the trick. Do the trick.
I don't...
I know that you think you want to see the trick right now.
But when we get to the end of the trick, I think it might be the case where you wish you had left.
It's prosthetics. It's prosthetics.
It's prosthetics.
Give me that.
Give me those ears.
Well, it's obviously prosthetics.
Whoa.
Whoa, honey, I ripped off the ears and it's...
Is that JPC?
From Hey Riddle Riddle?
Run!
Ah!
Ah!
Some of the most famous ears in the biz, baby.
You could always tell a JPC by his ears.
Hey, and what about JPC's peers, Adel and Aaron? Welcome to the show, baby. You can always tell a JPC by his ears. Hey, and what about JPC's peers,
Adel and Aaron?
Welcome to the show, everybody.
It's the crew, the clue crew.
The clue crew is here.
The clue crew.
We are 15 episodes into Hey Riddle Riddle.
How do you think it's going so far, guys?
So nasty.
And I'm glad we found this episode.
This is JPC The Future Talk.
I'm glad we found this episode. I'm just putting it out context free.
Oh, right.
Oh, we're not at 354.
We're at 15 right now at time of recording.
All right, speaking of the crew,
look, I know we do plugs at the end,
but I do want to mention something up top.
So to the people that we might catch, you know,
at the beginning of the episode before you,
and I know this is probably 10 to 20% of people, fall asleep to this episode.
But while you're still awake in that area of drifting off to sleep, if you are a subscriber
to The Clue Group, which is our Patreon feed, bonus episodes every week, it's $5 a month,
it's actually a great fucking fantastic deal.
But it's only $5 a month, which means that if you subscribe
with the Patreon app, you now pay Apple's additional
surcharge, which means that you are paying like 35% more
or something for our monthly subscription.
So if that happens to be you, don't do that,
that is bad to give that money to Apple.
We do not see that money.
It may look like you're getting charged $8 for a $5 show,
but we're not getting any more of that money.
If you want to subscribe to the Patreon,
go to the Patreon website, open a browser,
do it on like a computer,
but do it via the Patreon website.
That's where you sign up
and then you won't get charged that additional fee
every month.
I have seen a lot of people recently.
The one cool thing is Patreon now shows us
who has signed up via the Apple app
and lets me message them,
but I don't wanna be messaging people forever
being like, hey, you made a mistake.
And also I think a lot of people
don't check their Patreon messages, which is fine.
I don't check my Patreon messages.
But just so you know, when you're signing up,
please do it the other way.
We don't want, I don't want Apple to get more money.
That's, I don't feel uncomfortable saying that.
Like, no, that's bad.
Yeah.
Isn't Apple app one of the black eyed peas?
Right?
That is a great question.
Apple, Apple the app, maybe?
I feel like his name is Apple the app.
Yeah, so if you're doing it via the app on your phone,
the Patreon app on your phone, don't do it that way.
Also, if you're listening to the podcast feed
of the Patreon app on your phone,
I gotta say, there are better ways to do it.
We have an RSS feed that you can get with the podcast.
You plug that into a podcatcher,
don't do it through the Patreon app.
You lose a lot of features.
You don't have to do it that way.
There is a better way.
That doesn't cost you as much money.
Anyway, that's where it's at.
Any other business people wanna get out of the way?
Oh, I actually did have,
I had something that I wanted to ask the two of you about.
This is no longer show business,
this is back to inane bullshit,
which is what kind of what we do best on the show.
Best?
Yeah, well, you're right.
The question that I had for the two of you,
I had a situation that happened to me recently
where I had a problem that I think me recently where I had a problem,
I think it's a relatively minor problem.
I'm underplaying it because it was bigger than I thought it was.
But what is the most amount of money that you have spent to do
something in your life that was like a very minor inconvenience?
Because I have a number which I told Moran,
I think this is the most money I've ever spent to fix a minor inconvenience.
And I couldn't think of another time.
It's like one of those things where it's like,
paying for like a toll road,
but your ETA is like 10 minutes faster.
You're like, I just wanna be there 10 minutes faster.
I will take a toll road because I just wanna be there.
I think I've probably done that before.
In terms of like anything that's over $200 ever,
I want to claw my skin off rather than buy it.
Like it was so hard for me to buy a car
because I was like, why?
Why, why?
So much money, please no.
Too much.
JBC, I don't know, I want you to answer,
but what did you do? You can think of it if I don't know, I want you to answer,
but what did you do?
You can think of it if you don't have them,
but just in my house, I had this like old Google mesh
Wi-Fi thing that I'd had for a while
that was kind of a piece of shit.
But my house just has like Wi-Fi dead spots,
like all over it.
And one of the places that is a Wi-Fi dead spot
is if I am shitting in my downstairs
bathroom, which is my want and something that I enjoy doing. But also I have no phone service
there. I can't even like text. So like, if Mariah like text me like, Hey, I need your
help. I'll be like, I didn't I didn't see it. I was doing one of my
convenient.
Yeah, exactly. Right. But I was like, okay, so I gotta fix these. Why? And also the problem
was like more than just that, like the Wi Fi But I was like, okay, so I gotta fix these Wi- And also the problem was like more than just that.
Like the Wi-Fi wouldn't work like sometimes upstairs,
or the Wi-Fi wouldn't, uh, it would just like go in and out,
or like Bri would be in a work call,
and her Wi-Fi would go out or some shit.
So you bought a new house.
I bought a brand new house, because I was like,
this one's trash.
I actually had the old one demolished,
and I paid a guy to burn it down.
Um, not even for the insurance money,
I just, he seemed to like what he he did and he had a fun website.
But no, I bought a new Wi-Fi mesh for the house
and it was $500.
And I was like...
JBC, just so you can watch a video
of a dog catching a frisbee
while you're going to the bathroom, come on.
I don't even watch videos of dogs catching frisbees
because I don't have social media on my phone. So I don't even use my... It's really just like if I wasn't even watch videos of dogs catching frisbees because I don't have social media on my phone. So like I don't even use my,
it's really just like if I wasn't getting text messages
some times in the house, but more really what it was,
was that like Mariah's internet would go out
when she was on a work call or some shit like that,
which I was like, okay, that seems like a problem
that's like, I solved my problem,
which was the shitting problem for $500,
but I also part of the $500 was like Mariah
who has like a real job at the company.
If it had just been the Mariah stuff,
would you have spent that money? Be honest.
Yeah, for sure. Because it's way easier for me
to spend money on someone else than just for me
to spend money on myself. Like, spending $500 on myself,
I'm like, no way. I never would have done it.
I never would have done it if it weren't for the...
If honestly, if I have like a way to be like,
oh, I don't want to buy this, it's too much money a way to be like, oh, I don't wanna buy this, it's too much money.
And someone's like, oh, I think that you would look good
in that shirt.
I'd be like, well, thank God.
That's permission.
I would have never done it, but that's permission for me.
Adel, have you done that before?
I'm trying to, I feel like maybe the thing most akin
to what you're talking about is at some point,
I was like, fuck it.
I'm going to buy charging cables for like every room of the house kind of thing.
That's yes.
Cause I got tired of like trying to find them or taking them from one room to the
next. So I feel like there's a time where I sat down and I'm like, what is this
going to cost? It was a number that was just rough.
I mean, relatively speaking.
And I was like, I'm mean, relatively speaking.
And I was like, I'm willing to pay this. So I'd never have to search out another charging cable.
Adel, that is exactly what I was looking for.
That is the perfect, like, knowing that you could just walk
to another room and do it, but you're like, no, it is today.
I will do this.
I will, now that's also very funny because like,
with especially, cause I have like an iPhone.
I was like, oh yeah, I have all these charging cables,
but you know, at least I won't have
to buy charging cables anymore.
And then iPhones now are like, no,
now we use the same charging cables that everybody uses.
We're sorry, we did that for forever.
And I'm like, cool.
What do I do with this drawer full of shit?
Like will never be used anymore.
That's actually brilliant.
Because I have to move my charging cable from room to room.
And it, I guess that's not that hard
because I have a very small apartment.
But it is a-
I was gonna say welcome to the club
and then it seemed like a bit of a backhanded government.
No, no, no, but you have like a house that has multiple,
my house has like two rooms.
So I'm just moving the charging cable like three feet.
Aaron, buy, invest in like a 18 foot cord.
Okay, I'm listening.
I get tangled in the cord.
I call you.
I did buy Mariah a pair of sunglasses
that is just for the car
because she has like the same pair of sunglasses for her life and then one pair that is just for the car because she has like the same pair of sunglasses
for her life and then one pair that's just for the car.
I have like $1 cheap car sunglasses
that I look like a crazy person in.
They say 2017.
Yeah.
See, that's not really the same
because that's like practical to be like,
I'm gonna have the worst $1 car sunglasses
because they only cost $1.
The point of the exercise is that you like spent money
on a thing that where you're like,
wow, this wasn't necessarily, I didn't need to do this,
but it makes my life like maybe 1% more convenient.
So it's like, hell yeah.
I'm gonna try to think of one.
I know I've done one.
I'll keep it going in the back of my brain.
I shouldn't, knowing what's about to happen
in the rest of the episode,
I shouldn't be springing other bonus questions on you guys
that force you to think about stuff,
because there is the unfortunate other part of the podcast
that we kinda have to get to
where I kinda do that thing to you anyway.
Plugs.
Yeah, plugs.
Let's talk about it. What are we watching?
What do we like?
Common side effects?
What else, what else, what else?
Now, you guys ready to do some riddles?
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
Yeah, okay. Rind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind-ind- Whoa. Um, last week's episode, we had Tony Hale on the podcast and, um...
Incredible, by the way.
That's crazy.
It was very fun.
Just go listen to that episode.
And we did some Only Connects, and it made me, it made me think, you know what?
I like these Only Connects.
I want to do a couple more Only Connects.
So I have a few Only Connects for you guys today.
My favorite!
And they're Erin's favorite.
So if you, uh, if you remember how Only Connects work, and for you listeners who don't or didn't listen last week
or haven't listened to the podcast ever before,
what the fuck is happening?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
I'm gonna give you four different prompts, basically.
Each one will have an answer to them,
and all of the answers will also have something
that ties them all together.
So that's the premise of the only connects.
So here is your here's your first one ready.
And these by the way are they come to us from I think gin s in San Jose from seven years
ago.
Okay.
Tony Falcon and Star Lord all use these to get around.
Tony Soprano.
No, I don't think so.
Falcon.
They shipped.
Okay.

Not friendship.
Legs.
It's not legs, but I don't-
Groot?
Yeah, I guess they all have legs.
Do they all have Groots?
They don't all have Groots.
I actually don't have a dronian falcon.
I have a Groot.
Oh, I have a Groot fucker, can you believe me?
It's funny because Groot could mean nipples in that context
because that's how his language
works.
Can I do the next one?
Yeah.
We'll come back to that if we need to.
She carried the hit TV show Foreignication in the lunch town.
Sex and the City.

my next dog is Sarah Jessica Parky.
Come here Sarah Jessica Parky.
It does sound like the name of a bird,
like Sarah Jessica Parky, Parakeet maybe
is where I'm going with that.
Sarah Jessica Parker is the correct answer for that one.
We just got a comment on this episode.
It said Erin Sarah Jessica Sarah Jessica Barkey was right there.
Perfect. Thank you so much.
Barkey. Oh, yeah.
The presidents of the United States of America say that they come from a can,
but I find them preserved in a jar of.
Peaches.
Peach juice. A jar preserved in a jar of... Peaches, peach juice.
A jar preserved in a jar of...
Jelly jam. Jam.
Yes, but specifically what kind of jelly or jam?
Peach jam.
Gotcha, okay.
So you got that one, Sarah Jessica Parker, peach jam.
Of all the things to hit, this is probably the best.
Bullseye.
Hmm, very good, but it's not a bullseye.
Target.
Not a target.
Of all the things to hit.
A racist with your car.
Well, that's good too.
That's got to feel great, huh?
But no, it's not that.
Of all the things to hit, this is probably the best?
This is probably the best for you to hit for you personally.
Me personally.
Goals.
No, not like for an individual.
Like it's like, for anyone.
Milestones.
Goals.
It's not milestones or goals.
I think we just talked about it on the review crew, but think Dave and Buster's maybe for
this.
High score.
Personal best.
High score, but like what's another thing that you could hit like a Dave and Buster's context?
Kid
It's the slap it's NBC's the slap
ABC it doesn't matter why does that show come up so much it was one season like ten years ago

And then Tony Falcon and Starlord
all use these to get around.
Jetpacks.
It's Jetpacks.
Oh, these are all JP or PJs?
These. JPCs.
Yes, you both got there.
50% points for both of you.
These all contain a J, a P, and a C.
Hmm.
Oh, I love it.
Yes, thank you, Jen, S, and San Jose
for making that seven years ago.
I hope you're still listening.
Okay, let's move on to another set of these.
These are all coming from Jack.
I actually like to see a scene, I'm so sorry.
I'm trying to formulate how I want the scene
to go in my head.
Okay.
GPC, I want to see you as yourself, GPC,
you're addressing a crowd that is all JPCs.
Mm-hmm.
Okay, everybody, settle down, settle down, settle down.
Seems like a lot of you- Settle down,
I'm barely 30, why would I settle down?
I should still be dating.
No, it's time, honestly, GPC, it's time,
but it's long past time. All right.
Okay, I'm looking, scanning the crowd.
It seems like, hey, okay,
so we're all supposed to be wearing matching shoes.
This whole kind of thing that we're about to do
doesn't really work if we're not, it doesn't matter.
Some of you obviously didn't read the email
or kind of read the email
and kind of chose to go a different way with it
because you were sent the shoes.
So I don't see why it was such a big deal to not wear the shoes.
That email could have been a sext.
Okay, let's see. Okay, well, it doesn't matter. It's almost time. So let's grab our little
glasses of Kool-Aid. Does everybody have their glasses of Kool-Aid?
Yeah.
Do we give the horses that are here glasses of Kool-Aid to or horses should be in the parking lot if you wrote a horse
Here you should just leave it in the parking lot
Okay, it seems like a good half of you don't have Kool-Aid like what do you want you you JPC?
What are you drinking cousins piss that was a cousin's piss that it was gonna be cousin's piss. It's not actually cousin's piss is it?
Yes, okay great
All right. Well it was supposed to be the Kool-Aid because we kind of did something for them
I think we all have cousins pissed at least my my whole section
We're talking over here, and we all have cousins piss here's what we'll do
Why don't we all just drink whatever we've got we'll see if we make it out of the meteor
Okay, we'll see if we'll see if when the meteor comes by the cousins piss gets us there. I don't think it will personally
But we'll give it a try. Hey, man.
College, yeah.
Fuck you.
Yeah, OK.
Now we're talking, OK?
Let's get down to business.
See?
Let's get down to business.
If JPC ran Heaven's Gate.
Is that the name of that cult?
I think so.
And I think I'd also, David Koresh,
I think I'd be doing David Carradine, it doesn't matter.
I'd be doing a service if I kind of mass eliminated
all of the JPCs
and kind of one fell below.
But also, we don't know that they didn't make it
onto that comet, right?
Hmm?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Seems like a pretty good deal.
We know.
Kind of what's going on down here and get to a comet.
Not telling anyone to do anything,
but I'm just saying if you have the opportunity
to have a comet, you're right.
I don't know what to say.
It almost feels like, I feel like it almost
is like a symbiote venom situation,
where even if the tiniest little ounce of JPC
gets on a meteor and it goes to another planet,
then that planet's fucked.
Oh yeah, for sure.
If you have any dose of JPC, you could die.
No offense.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Yeah, I've seen it. You saw the last dance? Yeah.
And you saw all the Venom movies?
I liked the first two Venom movies a lot.
I thought Tom Hardy and the Venom movies were great.
And I watched the last dance the other day and I was like, oh boy.
It just, it didn't, it felt like, it felt more like Craving the Hunter and Madame Web
than the other Venom movies, which seemed like they were like having fun and being kind
of funny.
That sucks.
Yeah, I didn't, it wasn sucks. Yeah, wasn't my favorite.
But the thing about those Venom movies that I love
is I love that Tom Hardy has done two different
superhero movies where he's taken these big wild swings
with the voices.
To me, that is, muah.
Thank you so much, Tom Hardy,
for putting that just into the universe.
Taking a risk.
Well, because you got the cool Venom voice,
which is like, I am going to eat your brains.
And you got the pain voice.
And we all, we can't really do the pain voice
too many more times on this show,
because we all know what that voice is.
Yeah, we all know it by heart.
It's very good.
He's such a good actor.
Being sincere, he's one of my favorite actors.
And I feel like it's as if, he approaches it the same way.
If you had approached Daniel Day-Lewis
to play like Dr. Strange,
he would do like a build a butcher.
You know what I'm saying?
Like he approaches any role, I think the same way,
regardless of what the content is,
which is like, I'm gonna have, you know,
I'm gonna do some study,
I'm gonna take some big swings and risks,
and I'm gonna make this something three-dimensional.
So I, yeah, I very much appreciate the choices he makes.
Not to be a, wah, wah, wah, wah, over here,
but he was one of my favorite actors too,
until Charlie Serow did that interview
about working with him on Mad Max.
Seems like a fucking nightmare to work with.
She like had just had a kid and he would show up
three and a half hours late to set and like be mad at her.
He's not sound like a good guy.
But he's a good actor so.
I do think that yeah, there is something to like the,
and me it's that method thing too of like,
hey yeah sometimes really great actors
are like absolute nightmares to work with.
And I'm like, yeah you gotta remember
that you still have to work with people too.
It's Day Lewis on the set of Lincoln
where Spielberg would be on his phone
and Day Lewis would be like, what is this?
I'd be like, walk away from me, man.
Hey man, I'm Steven Spielberg.
I don't need to do this shit.
People on the set need to feed their families
what they're walking through.
Yeah, that to me as well.
Okay, here's your next riddles.
More Some More Only connects.
These ones come from Jack who says,
love the show. Love you, Jack.
The World 1804.
I'll pause if you guys want to throw out.
Okay. Those two separate ones?
No, no no this
is this is what one thing world 1804 the world 1804 Facebook 2012
Africa 2009 China 1982 hmm what do we think?
These are all places in the world and years when one of us was born.
I was born in 1804.
Is it like, I already like this one.
Is it?
This one's good.
Like an announcement of something?
Is it an announcement of something?
Or like a new technology or new word
being introduced or something?
That's fun.
No, it's not a word or a technology
and it's not really an announcement.
I would say milestone is probably the right word.
Oh, billion.
These are all Mandela effects.
Million.
Aaron, well, it's...
Pfft.
You're right on the money with billion, Aaron.
So this is all places and times
when the population reached one billion.
The world in 1804, Facebook in 2012, Africa in 2009,
and China in 1982, where their population, or I guess when Facebook users reached a billion?
Incredible nice one Aaron. Yeah, here's your next one be found an emerald
As a poison
He has a chipmunk voice oh
They need to breathe.
Can you do it again?
Yes.
B found in emerald, as a poison.
He has a chipmunk voice.
Oh, they need to breathe.
So O, oxygen, chipmunk voice would be helium.
Well, these are all gases.
Emerald.
Not gases. What is the right column?
B found in emerald as a poison.
You're so close. You guys have it.
Arsenic as a poison. B, baromein, I don't know. Bane? Is Bane an emerald?
You basically have it.
Okay.
Because you figured out the formula.
But the first two letters are the chemical element,
and then the next part is a short description of that chemical element.
Oh, cool.
So B-B-E, I don't know what that is. Is that beryllium? I don't know what that is.
Found an emerald, A-S a poison, arsenic a poison,
H-E has a chipmunk voice, helium makes your voice a chipmunk voice, and O, they need to breathe, is oxygen.
I love it.
I do wanna see a scene.
Erin and JPC, you are Alvin and Simon.
You are at Theodore's funeral,
and you're trying to be respectful and sad,
but also your voices are so sort of high and funny
that you can't help but like, have a good time.
Great.
["The Last Supper"]
How do you measure your life?
Is it in laughs?
Is it in mischief?
Is it in being a part of a song that includes your name?
Sorry, is there some?
I just don't think I can fucking, I just don't think I can fucking,
I just don't think I can fucking do this right now.

Hey, this isn't, why are people laughing?
Hey, he's really sad.

There has been an issue on the field here at Hey Riddle Riddle.
Do we need to go to Riddle Court or can we settle this on the field?
No, settle this on the...
This is not appropriate for Riddle Court.
Okay, fine.
I think this is Scene Court.
Yeah, this is Scene Court.

Yes.
Is his voice getting higher?
And you know what, Adel, you weren't in the scene.

We seem to have a grievance here filed by one Aaron Keefe.
Thank you.
Okay, Aaron, why don't you step in front of the juror
and do one comedic and one dramatic?
Am I on Keefe here?
Are my hands willing to shave?
Yes, also tell us where your hands are.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
And chipmunks.
And chipmunks.
Yeah, sorry, you can't see them,
but there's 12 angry chipmunks under the porch.
I get it, I get it.
Oh, we're not angry.

If you, on an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle.
If you.
No, that's not.
Come on man.
Come on man.
She, she saw me to fuck myself and I'm not allowed to talk.
Judge.
I'll allow it.
I'll allow it.
If you use performance enhancement drugs on Hey Riddle Riddle,
that is your prerogative.
You cannot make the scene that you're in
about having said performance enhancement drugs.
That is bad improv.
Use the drugs and if someone adds,
it chooses to add a drug of their choice
to post that is their business.
Stay the course, yes and the scene, and don't make it a meta pile of bullshit that I don't have a soundboard.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ Please Aaron Please I don't even know how I
Would even begin to download a soundboard fuck you fuck Aaron Aaron. I'm gonna throw the book at you
I'm throwing the book. He's doing the meta bullshit that I was just talking about Aaron
Born being able to do technology
I'm gonna have to hold you in contempt. Hey, hey, he is doing it against me.
I'm going, this is gonna have to be a thing
where I take this scene to another riddle scene.
I'm getting too emotional, I need to calm down.
Can you guys believe this?
His voice keeps getting higher.
I had motion smoothing on my TV for years
without realizing it.
I don't know how to.
See that?
Oh.
Oh. Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
Whatever.
Fucking whatever.
Vote in the comments.
I'm saying that everyone has access
to the same technology that others do.
And I think it is not fair to make a scene
about how you have a soundboard.
And now you know what I'm gonna have to fucking do this week?
Bother Casey and have Casey hop on the horn with me so I can download a soundboard and now you know what I'm gonna have to fucking do this week bother Casey and have Casey hop on
The horn with me so I can download a soundboard and become a menace to society and then we're just three fuckers with soundboards
Hey, I love it man, I'm all for it one of the Batman movie was just three jokers. Why not?
They never tried it before. Aaron how about this?
Yes, cuz I've asked JPC for his soundboard program before.
We all download it and then we do a Patreon
where it's entitled, Three Fuckers with Soundboard.
We get it all out there.
Aaron, we get it all out there.
That way, when we do scenes and hit a riddle,
it's used like, you know, saffron, not salt.
Yeah, because there's no reason to bring the soundboard to the main feed. It's just like, we don't need to do it, we shouldn't do it, it's bad like, you know, saffron, not salt. Yeah, because there's no reason to bring the sour border
to the main feed.
It's just like, we don't need to do it.
We shouldn't do it.
It's bad to do.
Let's not do it anymore.
He's about to do it.
Covered income.
Okay, okay, okay. Aaron.
Aaron. Aaron.
Aaron. You guys.
You guys, I think we need to introduce being fined
for doing things.
Financial consequence for doing a bad job on this show.
Because-
Oh, so we should be fined for like anti-social behavior?
I've peed on a waiter before.
Okay.
Like, is that the kind of thing that you're saying?
Can I tell you, this is trippy,
because that feels like AI.
When did I say that?
I don't know.
I don't know, Aaron.
I don't know.
If you guys want this show to be complete chaos with,
I just feel like JPC should be fined $5
for what he did in that scene.
Adel, the judge is up to you.
Top a renegade goat.
Yeah, boy.
What?
Erin, if I find him,
I have to find you for what you just said.
All right, we have to move on.
Here's your next riddle.
Amazing Grace, how sweet.
Okay, clip that.
Casey, clip that.
Because how that.
Herbert.

These are all love bugs.
Wow.

These are all the most handsome men alive.
Herbert 88.

Oh, it's the last numbers of the year that they died.
It's the last numbers of the year that they died.
No, or born, or born.
No, no, no, no, neither one.
God of Museum.

A hammer and a feather.
Hammer and a feather.
Okay.
Six US flags.
Five golden rings.
Two golf balls.
Two golf balls. Eugene Shoemaker's shoes.
That's a real curveball theme.
I know, right?
Oh god, I don't know.
Could not be more specific.
If you know who Eugene Shoemaker is, I gotta assume that...
I don't either, but I gotta assume that that's a really good clue if you know who that is.
Well, I mean, in context, this is the guy who created shoes? No, I don't either, but I gotta assume that that's like a really good clue if you know who that is, but... Well, I mean in context, this is the guy who created shoes?
No, I don't know. I don't think he... no.
Eugene Shoemaker shoes, two golf balls, a
hammer and a feather. What was the other one?
These are all things that weigh one pound.
Six US flags.
Six US flags. These are all things found inside the belly of a whale.

These are all things that you hit into water.
It's not things you hit into water.
Hammer and a feather, six U.S. flags, two golf balls,

I think, I'll say, all of these have a location in common.
Sand trap.
It's not a sand trap.
Pole.
It's not a pole.
Pole, pole.
Six US flags, coin, they're all on coins.
They're all on.
No.
They're all.
I would like, what, what the nomination of coins
is two golf balls?
That's what I call quarters.
Hammer and the feather.
Don't you leave a quarter on the green when you're like picking up a golf ball?
Yeah, you do.
That makes sense.
Okay.
Okay.
Hammer or feather you use just in case there's a alligator.
It's going to, yeah, it has nothing.
They're on a flag.
They're not on a flag.
They're not on a golf course.
A hammer and a feather, six US flags, two golf balls and Eugene shoemaker shoes.
They're all in the same place.
The Smithsonian.
Not the Smithsonian.
This is a place that I would say,
it's not a museum, but this place gets almost no visitors.
Like it's, nobody goes here.
The moon, the moon, the moon, the moon,
of course the moon. The moon.
It's the moon. I do wanna see a quick scene.
Aaron and Adel, you are both gonna be astronauts on the moon, of course the moon. The moon. It's the moon. I do wanna see a quick scene. Aaron and Adel, you are both gonna be astronauts
on the moon.
Adel, you are taking your duty very seriously.
And Aaron, you're trying to leave a bunch of other shit
on the moon just so you can say that there's this stuff
on the moon.
Great.
All right, we have the flag.
We'll plant that right there next to the others
just to sort of show.
Don't look over here.
Huh?
Don't look over here.
I'm pissing over here. Huh? Don't look over here.
I'm pissing.
Sullivan.
What?
If you're pissing, you're pissing in your suit.
We all piss in our, I'm pissing right now.
No, no.
I can't see your genitals.
Oh wait, if I take my dick out, will it explode?
Let's not test it.
Let's not test it.
Don't clip it.
Don't clip it.
No, I just am gonna, just look away.
I'm just gonna pee on. With your penis?
I'm gonna pee on the moon.
Wait, whoa, what was that big sack?
Sullivan, you're not pulling a Santa again, are you?
No, no, no, no, I'm just, hey man,
everyone wants to have a legacy.
And I said, why not have mine be funny?
Sullivan, last time we were on the moon,
you did several things that got us both in trouble. You did sort of a Hollywood walk of fame hand prints
and then your signature...
Yes.
Uh...
Okay.
You brought a oversized sort of cracker barrel

Astronauts are not allowed to have fun anymore.
You're right.
Let's collect some rocks for science.
Is this like a bet you lost?
Or are people paying you to do?
What's going on here?
Like I could understand if it was like
your mother's ashes or something,
but this just doesn't make sense.
Okay.
There are certain kinds of perverts on the internet
that are willing to spend a certain amount of money
to make a certain thing happen.
And who am I to dash a pervert's dream?
Sullivan, say that, I will help you.
What do you got? What's in the bag? Yeah, let's start pulling some of this stuff out. Let's start pulling some of this stuff out, okay. Perfect dream. Sullivan, say that, I will help you.
What do you got?
What's in the bag?
Yeah, let's start pulling some of this stuff out.
Start pulling some of this stuff out, okay.
We got a slip and slide, do not use that.
You will slide forever.
Okay.
You will never stop sliding.
Well, I thought, all right, well.
It'll be like gravity.
Mm-hmm.
Let's see what else here.
Here is a bottle of Barefoot wine.
Hey guys, I got the moon rocks ready to go.
Hey, we're gonna need a couple more minutes.
The rocks on this side are-
The fuck, why do you sound like that?

Aaron, get back in the scene.
Aaron?
Aaron, get back in the scene, please?
Aaron, I have a voice mod called Spaceman Luke.
I am Darth Vader.
I'm not trying to compare our show to art, but I literally just had a moment where,
say, Hayverle Riddle is a painting,
and I'm in the painting.
I just was in the painting, and I went,
what if I just sort of stepped outside of the painting,
and I became an observer of the painting?
And then, what if I walked away from the painting?
The Therese Bueller effect, this is, yes.
Well, Aaron, would it help if we took a little break?
Let's take a break, Aaron, huh?
I don't think so this time.
I think this time a break can't fix this.
Hey, let's try. Let's try.
Let's take a quick break and see if maybe it all gets fixed.
JPC, I just got a text from your wife and it said, can you make sure JPC remembers to get me a Mother's Day gift this year?
I want something that is sentimental and sweet.
He's never gotten me a gift before for any holiday.
Ha ha, Erin, that's a trick question.
The wife can't be the mother, because the doctor...
Oh, this isn't a riddle.
Your wife is asking me to ask you to get her an Aura frame.
Yeah, I'll get this.
Yeah, GBC, I would highly recommend Aura frames.

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
I say better, you say.
Help.
I say better, you say.
Erin help.
Oh sorry.
Erin, hey sorry, Addle, he felt unwell.
Oh.
Emotionally.
Okay.
You gotta be careful how you word things.
I broke my emotional ankles.
Oh, well, Addle, have you tried BetterHelp?
Oh yeah, Addle, BetterHelp!
Yeah.
It's online therapy?
Mm-hmm.
With over 30,000 therapists, BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform,
having served over 5 million people globally.
Wait, BetterHelp?
Yes, it's convenient too.
You can do it from the bottom of a well.
You can join a session with a click of a button,
helping you fit therapy into your busy life,
or if you're a well.
Plus you can switch therapists at any time.
Yeah, and if your emotional well,
let's see if I can land this plane.
If your emotional well is full,
then you might want to use therapy
as a way to kind of talk through some of those issues.
Sometimes it can be helpful just to talk things out,
to hear yourself saying them.
Therapy is not about solving specific problems,
but it's about giving you tools
so that you can kind of help solve your own issues
as you go into the future.
Wow, life is a well is what you're saying.
Yeah.
And your well-being is worth it.
Wow, we landed it.
You're welcome.
Yes.
Well, well, well.
Okay, we're landing it too much.
Does that make sense?
This kind of therapy has worked really well
for me in the past.
I like being able to message my counselor
and have them get back to me with a timely response
rather than having to wait all week to talk to them.
I love it.
And if you've taken a long break from therapy
or if you never tried it before, why not now?
Your wellbeing is worth it.

Alright, guys. Well, I know that we're coming off the heels
of my personal favorite holiday,
420.
Nice.
So I got you guys some dooby dooby doos,
and I thought we could some-moke them on the pop test.
Oh, hell yeah.
Let me blaze this up.
All right, now, you're going to notice
that it's a little bit different than maybe a joint
that you've smoked previously.
Wait, is this a person?
There's like sand in this, is this Sandy?
Oh, am I smoking Sandy?
Please don't smoke me,
that's against the terms and regulations.
Oh, my guy ripped me off, what's up Sandy?
Yeah, it's a common complaint that I get,
people try to smoke me and then they realize I'm a human being, but there's a lot it's a common complaint that I get people try to smoke me.
And then they realize I'm a human being, but, uh, there's a lot of me to go around,
especially with this, with this beer, just pluck off a hair and you can smoke it.
Don't mind if I do.
Who knows?
Who knows?
Very billy.
Is it, do they smoke beer?
It's in the Bible.
I've never read it.
I assume, I assume, I assume.
If there's some sort of like Google for Bibles, I assume the word beard is in there 4,000 times.
Yeah, you know, if they do smoke beard in the Bible,
please email Sandy, let him know.
You can find him on social media.
Something.fun or something.
No, you can't anymore.
If they can smoke beard, then I've got a new hobby.
Hi, hi guys.
Hello, Sandy.
Excited to have some high quality riddles on today's show.
I threw away not only all my sports puzzles, but I threw away everything in my brain about sports.
So we will never talk about that again.
History will say I killed that game.
That was a month ago.
No one remembers so well last time you were here.
You're allowed to write it down.
No one else can test it.
I found a little recycle bin in my brain
and I just kind of dragged and dropped my whole desktop
into that and then poof.
So basically everything's gone.
I love that.
Motor function too.
Oh, we got weird on this podcast.
I don't know.
Well, would you like something different?
This is a word game.
We love words.
Famous.
Some words?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Word, word, word, big word.
Word turds.
Word turds.
A little turd he told you about the words that I brought.
A little turd he told me that were word turds.
A little word turd.
For this turd of a game, I'm going to give you a sentence,
and it contains both a clue for both a phrase
in the format of this and that, like A and B, X and Y.
And it also clues a word that is formed
by making a portmanteau out of those two words.
So for example, if I said,
I saved my own family first when the dam broke.
Oh, your own family is your flesh and blood.
And if you smash those two words together,
you get flood.
Which is what happens when the dam breaks.
Fuck.
Did that happen?
Oh, someone did read the Bible.
I'm just gonna let everyone know right now,
I can't do this.
Sure you can.
Erin's like, bring back sports, please.
Yeah, I know myself and I know my brain
and I don't have the right wires or parts of my brain.
I actually don't even have the right parts of my brain
to be able to explain why I can't do this.
And Erin, famously last night you cut the red wire,
which was a lot, in your brain there's a lot of red wire.
Yeah, my brain still exploded, can you believe it?
Unbelievable.
Erin's looking at a Tough Mudder course and she's like,
I'm willing to flop around in there,
but I'm not gonna be doing what everybody else is doing.
We're not, this is not happening.
Hop around like a fish on a dock.
I'll get muddy and take a picture or whatever,
but I'm not doing all this.
No, I'll try.
I'm going to try, Sandy.
You'll be great.
You'll be great.
So we got the concept.
Ready to move on?
Yes, sir.
This movie about the famine is great,
even though it's not in color.
OK, black and white might be the term we're looking for.
Correct.
Okay.
Blight.
So smash those two words, blight.
Blight.
There you go.
Black and white and blight.
It's very famously about a famine.
A famine?
Number two.
Huh?
Wouldn't that be something?
Can I say famine ties was one of the worst TV shows?
Would a famine be like if there's like nothing,
are we experiencing a famine right now
where there's like nothing good coming out of Hollywood
except Aaron's picture show, sorry, Aaron.
But nothing else good coming up.
I thought you were gonna say that no one famous is good
or no one good is famous anymore.
The fame has.
Maybe it's not a famine because it's not really about
fame but it is about how they're just like remaking movies from 20 years ago
and that's the only movies. My understanding was a promise that fame
was gonna last forever isn't that what they said?
Hmm. That was the winner. No? Fame. That was the big cheer. Fame. You're gonna live forever. Yeah, that's right. See you remember my name. Hey. Well, clearly it worked.
All right, let's do another one.
Pirates love a British pastry.
Pastry.
Okay.
Pirates love a British pastry.
Is it like tea and crumpets?
Nope. The British pastry is the word, not this phrase. Is it like tea and crumpets? Nope.
The British pastry is the word, not this phrase.
Is not the phrase.
Pirates is the phrase.
Pirates is the X and Y phrase.
Or pirates love?
Pirates will get you the A and B phrase.
The pastry is the word.
Okay, pirates.
What's an A and B phrase?
So does it always have an A and a B?
Scallon crossbones?
Keep going.
Scallon bones Skull and bones.
Cro-sance-bones?
Just match those words together.
Skone, skull, skull, skull, skull, skull.
Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, I'm working.
Okay, sorry.
Skull-cron?
Skums is right, although I guess,
I guess technically they call them skons over there,
but maybe the British...
What?
Maybe the British pirates also call it
skull and crossbones, I don't know.
Excuse me, a yarr.
Do they really call it scons?
They call skulls scons?
Do they?
Oh shit, I hope I don't get into trouble.
I think so.
Scons.
Yeah, I think so.
Sid, you definitely will get in trouble, but I will.
That's fucking stupid.
It's a whole ass nation full of morons.
No.
They don't get this here. They don't get this here.
They don't get this there, right?
They do, they do.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
But it's translated.
It's translated.
Uh-huh.
It's translated.
Yeah.
They call a cup of tea a cuppa.
Cuppa.
What are we doing?
They're having more fun than us, let's not.
Way more fun.
Way more fun.
In a car, they call the boot panties?
These guys are dumb.
As our friend Ethan taught us,
there's such cool British rhyming slang that we're behind the times. in a car, they call the boot panties? These guys are dumb. As our friend Ethan taught us,
there's such cool British rhyming slang
that we're behind the times.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh yeah, rhyming slang is awesome.
We should all make up our own rhyming slang
because I don't believe that the intention
of rhyming slang is for you to be,
for it to be clear what you're saying.
So that's a good future game, Sandy.
You might be able to write that out.
Cockney rhyming slang, the game? I saw a future game, Sandy. You might be able to write that out. Cockney rhyming the game?
I saw a Cockney, I saw someone on a TV show
give a Cockney rhyming slang for,
for, shit, now I can't find it, for Fanny.
They were trying to say Fanny, but Fanny means
something else there.
And they didn't want to say Fanny,
so they said something else as a cockney rhyming
slang to get you to fanny.
And now I can't even remember what the slang was.
When I go to-
But it was funny because the word they weren't trying not to say is so tame to us.
Yeah, for us.
Yeah.
All right.
The kid presented her most cherished possession to her kindergarten class, a single oyster.
Show and tell, shell?
Show and shell.
You got it.
Hell.
I fought fiercely to lose this guy who was following me.
I fought fiercely to lose.
I found it.
Jack and Annie.
Jack and Annie is slang for fanny.
Wow.
So Jack and Annie pack is what you'd wear if you're a tourist.
That's right.
Actually, you know, more than just tourists wear. They're very convenient.
Can you read that again?
I fought fiercely to lose this guy who was following me.
What do you call it when someone's following you?
Chaste.
Tail.
I was going to say like shake a tail.
Chase.
Tail.
Tail is right. Now you have to think of a phrase that means fight fiercely.
Or fiercely.
Tooth and nail?
Tooth and nail.
Tooth and nail to tail.
When playing this piano duet,
we got tripped up by a gap cut out of the sheet music.
Heart and soul whole.
Boom.
Addle, we got that in unison.
We just got a cease and desist from Courtney Love.
Wow.
I thought you were gonna say Hoagy Carmichael.
No.
My kid loves to eat noodles and study Bajaas architects.
Bajaas, Bajaas.
Bajaas blast.
Bajaas blast.
Bajaas blast.
Mountain Dew, Mew, Mew.
Taco Bell, Taco Bell.
Checking the app.
Oh yeah, we could order delivery.
What was the question?
My kid loves to eat noodles
and study Bauhaus architects.
Mac and cheese.
Meeze.
Meeze, as in Meeze Vandero.
Oh, I was joking.
No, it's right.
Adel, just don't admit that.
Just say that you knew it.
I mean, yes.
Brutalist architecture. The Brutalist.. I mean, yes, Brutalist architecture.
The Brutalist.
The Adrian Brody.
The Brutalist, right?
Yeah.
Whenever someone mentions architecture, guys,
just say the Brutalist.
Here's a little hint from old JPC,
just say, oh, the Brutalist.
You'll be fine.
My nagging spouse is always talking about
taking down Batman.
Ball and chain Bane.
Wow.
Whoa.
Adol, you're moving so fast.
Here's a coupon for two free hugs.
What do you mean I'm a bad husband?
Wait, wait, wait.
What do you mean I'm a bad husband?
Wait.
Keep it going.
Bane is giving his spouse a coupon for two free hugs.
Don't give me a list of what to do and I'll do it.
It's so funny that the prom's just ball and chain,
but instead it's like low rate husband.
And then it's like the...
Hey, hey honey, two weeks ago I did the dishes
and you didn't say anything.
Why didn't I get applause?
What do we have this weekend?
I was planning on golfing.
We need a sitcom with Bane.
It's basically, what's the,
who's the Kevin James,
what's the Kevin James sitcom?
A King of Queens.
King of Queens, we need one that's like.
Yeah, he's like a hot wife that would never actually
be with him in real life.
Bane of my Bane or something.
Yeah, just like Supermodel Wife.
Bane's Bane.
Bane's Bane.
Isn't it funny?
Both of those movies are fine.
The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises.
The Dark Knight's obviously the best one of them.
But I think it's very funny that like universally,
what we have taken from culture from those things
is that the Joker is like very scary.
It was a great performance.
And Tom Hardy's Bane is the number one thing people
wanna do cartoon impressions of.
It's not even close, like their relatability on scary.
One of them is just not scary at all.
Would we call it, that sitcom, Growing Banes?
Yes.
Wow, wow.
Whoa. We're gonna live forever. Say you remember my name, Bane. B. Wow. Wow. Whoa.
We're gonna live forever.
Say you remember my name, Bane.
Bane, Bane.
Yeah.
I'm gonna live forever.
It always amuses me when I write a puzzle that has Batman
and I immediately think that it's so close to Bateman.
Like Jason Bateman should play Batman at some point.
And I'm not sure what else to do with it.
Yes, for sure.
We, he missed his calling in like the 2010s
when every movie had to have Jason Bateman in it
because we lost a deal with like the devil apparently.
But now Jason Bateman is Batman.
That is the move.
And it's a lot of him going up to like the Joker
and being like, hey buddy, hey buddy,
we're gonna go ahead and stop.
Let's stop ruining the city.
Okay.
Yeah.
Michael Ceres, Robin.
Oh my God.
Also just, like casting Jason Bateman now as Batman
and like seeing what his physical transformation is like
because everybody, the secret desire
of all of these Hollywood people to play Batman
is that they get to like, you know,
work with a trainer and get like super jacked.
And I would just love to see like big Bateman
on the screen.
Big Bateman. Big Bateman. He never got jacked that I would just love to see like big Bateman on the screen. Big Bateman.
Big Bateman.
He never got jacked.
That's right.
And Robert Pattinson really didn't really go that same route.
He kept his hot topic body.
He didn't try to pull a gun.
There's a fun, there's a fun trivial pursuit card
that was written a while ago that's like,
which of these acts, this is true,
which of these actors did never play Batman?
And the list is like, Christian Bale, yes, yes,
Christian Bale, Adam West, Val Kilmer,
George Clooney, Ben Affleck.
Literally all of them are correct
because it was written before Ben Affleck.
Improbably cast.
That's so funny.
Wow, that is crazy, for a trivia thing to be wrong
because it was just written before something like that happened.
Right, they were like, what is the amount of landish actor
that we can think of to play Batman?
Well, they didn't think Connor O'Malley.
You would be so good.
There's no new ideas.
It's just like, well, let's get another guy to play Batman.
I guess that's what we're doing now.
If you did Connor O'Malley as Batman, though, they'd immediately be like, well, let's get another guy to play Batman. I guess that's what we're doing now. If you did Connor O'Malley as Batman though,
they'd immediately be like, Bruce Wayne,
like, there's no, that guy's so wholly unique,
they're like, there's no way that's not Bruce Wayne.
It's him, it's Bruce Wayne, it's that same guy.
You can take all my money for that, by the way.
Connor O'Malley, I had to look up who this guy is.
This is a deep cut.
Watch his videos.
He's fantastic.
Okay, all right.
All right, here's another one.
I'm not scared.
You know what would be great? Connor O'Malley as Batman and Joker. He's playing both of, all right. All right, here's another one. I'm not scared. You know what would be great?
Cotter O'Malley as Batman and Joker.
He's playing both of them in the scene.
He's playing everyone.
Yes, it's the clumps.
It's the Batman,
where Cotter O'Malley is everyone.
And he's just locked in a room.
Batman, the clumps.
All right, I have to ask you guys,
I'm sure you've thought about this.
This is a prompt that I've seen other people answer.
If you had to recast,
if you could remake a movie entirely with Muppets,
but one actor is human.
Yeah.
I think we did this and we talked about it
and it was the Bible.
We want to see a Muppet Bible.
The Bible movie.
The Bible movie, yep.
I think Erin's was ghost.
Erin, I think she said Ghost in the Shell and Keep Scarlett Johansson. yep. I think Aaron's was ghost. Aaron, I think she said ghost in a shell
and keep Scarlett Johansson.
No.
I think it's a ghost.
And I think Adol said,
Passion of the Christ, all Muppets,
but Gibson still directs.
That's what he said.
That's so good.
Yeah, ghost, ghost, everyone's Muppets,
except for that guy on the train.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm not, here's another one.
I'm not scared by snake sounds.
In fact, it makes me want to snuggle with them.
His and hers?
Wow, that's so good.
His and hers.
You're close.
I mean, his and hers.
His is right.
His.
His and piss.
His.
His and piss.
His is the answer and we need the phrase.
Yeah.
Can you say the whole question one more time?
I'm not scared by snake sounds.
In fact, it makes me want to snuggle them.
Hug and kiss?
Hug and kiss. Hiss, hiss.
I've not gotten a single one of these.
I'm so uniquely bad at these.
Same, Adel is kicking her ass.
Let's see if we can break your streak.
My favorite thing about this Dr. Seuss book
is that the main character looks like my nana.
Green eggs and ham, Graham.
Grahams.
What the fuck?
I'm not even gonna try anymore, Addle.
I can't even, my brain is trying to be like,
okay, so which one is the phrase
and which one is the answer?
I can't even get that part before Addle gets it.
And can I just say, I'm able to just,
almost like a bear catching salmon in a stream,
I'm able to just put my claws in my brain
and pull out an answer.
And I don't know what's happening.
It's amazing.
These are just speaking to the way my brain works.
God, that is how a bear does it.
The bears listening are like,
uh dude, that takes a lot of practice.
We actually really work at that.
And that's reductive, You're being reductive.
Uh, boy. Here's a new one.
Boy, communism really gets the hairs on my neck up.
Okay, maybe just one hair.
Hammer and sickle heckle?
It's hackle, but yeah.
Hackle. Okay. Hackle.
Hackle literally means the hair on the back of your neck, I think.
Alright, wow. Trying to give you the tricky ones.
My wife bumped into a car while driving
and I told her, sweetie, you better get out of here.
Hit and run, hun.
Ball and chain made.
Ball and chain.
That's insane.
What do you mean today's our anniversary?
Of course I got you a gift.
Sandy just keeps putting ball and chain.
I was like, I'm gonna answer these.
We're like, everything okay?
Sandy, working through some stuff with your muscles.
Yeah, I tested these on the ball and chain last night.
She's like, you never talk to me
in your bane voice anymore.
You know what my favorite,
I guess it's vaguely misogynist.
I actually don't know,
but I think only ever heard it referred to in this term,
term is, is battle axe.
When people are like, yeah, that old battle axe.
I'm like, that sounds so cool,
but I think it's derogatory.
I just picture Gimli holding up that woman
and swinging her around.
Right, when he said, and my axe, I just picture Gimli holding up that woman and swinging her around. Right.
When he said, and my acts, he was talking about his wife.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's basically Boris.
He's basically saying my wife.
Uh, if someone calls an older woman a battle ax, it means she is very
difficult and unpleasant because of her fearsome, determined attitude.
Okay.
Boy, that is my new goal.
That is my 10 year plan is I wanna be a battle ax.
Check in on me in a decade, everybody.
I wanna be a battle ax is so funny.
Erin, is it okay then if I start referring to you
as a battle ax?
I would love it if you did.
Okay, Erin Keefe, that's a battle ax
you don't wanna cross.
Thank you, thank you, I love that.
It's hard for me to even conceptualize
what that is conveying.
It's like so old timey misogyny, it's like what?
I like my misogyny new and slick.
Yeah.
Here's another one.
I really like REM's version of this Susa March better.
Rag and bone?
Stars and Stripes.
Stapes.
Stipes.
Scott.
Michael Stipes.
Scott Stipes.
Scott Stipes from the REM cover of it.
Michael Stipes.
Michael Stipes.
So hey, I kinda got that one.
You did kinda get that one.
Good job.
Alright, couple more.
Thank you, Sandy.
I really like my good job.
Speaking of more misogyny, that awful woman told me one thing and sold me another.
Bait and switch, be rich.
Bitch.
It is bait and switch and bitch, not intended as a reflection of my opinion about any specific
person.
You're staring right at Aaron.
You're looking right at that battle axe.
Maybe I should've said that female dog.
Yeah, that old battle axe Aaron.
All right, one more, one more.
How about this?
There's a stark difference between the way those two horses made that sound.
Nay. Nay and Winnie? Ninnie? There's a stark difference between the way those two horses made that sound
Nay and Winnie
Nanny Stark difference neither here nor there
No, it's nay right to nay
Nay, no way
No
Stark difference is neither right cuz that's nay
No, since he's looking blankly.
I think he's thinking about something else.
Oh.
Stark difference.
And then what?
Boy, the way I feel today and the way I feel yesterday,
blank and blank.
Night and day.
Night and day.
Day.
Of course.
Let me give you one more that you guys can guess.
I was tripped up by the spelling.
I was like, what's in GH?
Oh, so sorry. So sorry. No, by the spelling. I was like, what ends in G-H?
Oh, so sorry, so sorry.
No, no, no.
One more is really quick.
Boy, that Swiss girl is so full of herself.
Pomp and Circumstance.
Percumstance.
Swiss and Miss, that Swiss girl.
Boy, that Swiss girl is so full of herself.
Pondue.
Last.
Heidi.
Heidi.
High and mighty.
High and mighty. High and mighty. Wow. All right. Good job, last. Heidi. Heidi. High and mighty.
High and mighty.
High and mighty.
Wow.
All right, good job y'all.
Nice job.
You look like you just ran a marathon.
You did great, Erin.
You got significantly more than the zero you predicted.
Erin, you basically just sat with me
and flopped around in the mud,
while Adil ran the whole course.
And I had a great day.
Yeah, me too.
Oh good.
So what do you got going on?
What do you got to plug or promote?
Well, I'm still making the game that I talked about
last time, which is Rattle.
This is a word ladder transformation game
where instead of changing a letter in the word
to make a word ladder, you're changing the words entirely through transformations and clues that I give you. This is a daily word game. You can find
it at rattle, r-a-d-d-l-e dot quest. It's been really fun. My advice if you are playing this
game is do not think of it like wordle. Think of it like a crossword because some of the clues,
you'll have to like really kind of get into the puzzle
maker's head a little bit to like get to the bottom of the clues. It's not like there's a
touch of like, I wouldn't say subjective, but like a flair of personality in some of these answers.
Right. And I offer tours of my head for a thousand dollars a minute. So if you sign up for that.
of my head for, it starts at $1,000 a minute. So if you sign up for that.
So yeah, so JPC is right.
It's like, I'll give you a bunch of clues
and you have to figure out which clue works
for the given word.
So like if the ladder went from pinky to thumb,
you'd have to change pinky into a new word.
And one of the clues is pinky's cartoon partner,
which is the clue would yield you the answer, the brain.
And that would be the next step of the ladder.
And then you keep going from there.
I also love that you can, I think, we're starting from the top down, but you can also reverse
the letter and go from the bottom up, which is fun.
Yeah, that's helpful for me sometimes.
Big fan, big fan.
Very cool.
Anything else to plug Sandy?
I also have a newsletter at signals.fun.
It's a free monthly newsletter and I'm on Instagram at Mystery League.
And I yeah, that's about it.
Awesome.
Sandy, thank you so much.
Hey, Aaron, we have to get rid of Sandy, but JPC and I don't want to be the bad guys.
Do you mind being the battle axe?
It kind of takes out.
Hey, Sandy, stay as long as you want.
Here, I'll make you a cup of tea. kind of picks up. Hey Sandy stay as long as you want here
Battle axe you are not I said give me ten years
Alright Sandy, thank you so much. Well, we'll see you later. Oh boy. What do we have to plug?
Addle what do you got? What do you got going on? I would say as always, check out Hello from the Magic Tavern, both the main feed and our Patreon.
We have all kinds of fun stuff going on
for our 10th anniversary.
Also, I was recently a guest on the Press Play podcast
talking about the video game and the movies
of Mortal Kombat, so please check out Press Play podcast.
Erin, do you have anything to plug or promote?
I would say check out Quality Time on Instagram.
It's a once a month variety show I host in Los Angeles.

We are going to 10 cities at least this year. We are going to be coming to Chicago,
Minneapolis, St. Paul, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles, California, Denver,
Colorado, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., Boston, Massachusetts, and New York City.

At Hey Riddle Riddle.
We'll let you know about that.
You don't have to keep checking.
We'll let you know.

I know it's crazy.
It's gonna be so much fun.
I'm gonna bring my passport and get all these stamps.
Well, I don't know that you have to show your passport
to go to, you actually do, I think, have to do it.
I have to show it everywhere.
Yeah.
What city do you think we're gonna get
into our biggest fight in?
Portland.
Portland?
Yeah.
Wow, that's interesting, I would say Oregon.
Oh, that's Portland, nevermind.
Okay, I was gonna say the Pacific Northwest, but okay.
Well, that's not on the list yet.
If you're not in any of those cities that we are coming to
or can't make it to any of those shows,
the LA show also will have a live stream.
So at least one of our shows will be live streamed
to you everywhere that you can get a ticket for.
And we've been talking about it.
We have some special guests for some of these shows.
So we're gonna try different guests for different shows,
but be on the lookout for that
because we will announce those
as we get a little closer to the dates.
And if you want us to come to your city,
can we're gonna have, the link is in the show description
if you wanna fill out the little form.
Yeah, the live show requester.
Can I mention one of the guests just as a little teaser?
I think it might be fun.
For St. Paul, I'm going to go ahead and say we have Bobby
from Bobby's World.
Wow.
He's an animated boy voiced, I believe, by Howie Mandel.
And for Chicago, we do have JPC from Hey Riddle Riddle
joining us for that show.
God willing, God willing.
Speaking of animated boys for the Denver, Colorado show,
I think you know what we're talking about. for that show, God willing, God willing. Speaking of animated boys for the Denver, Colorado show,
I think you know what we're talking about.
We got the guys from Hey Arnold.
They live there now.
We do.
No, we got Cartman, come on Cartman.
We got Cartman, no Olga.
Yeah, so anyway, come see us on tour this year,
across the Riddleverse tour, heyriddleriddle.com slash live.
OK, and I would like to read a review.
If you want to get a review featured on the show,
just leave a five star review anywhere you leave reviews.
Hey, today we got one from Roxy Romero.
Roxy Romero says, 20 plus hours straight.
Huh.
On a road trip from Ohio to Texas with my husband and daughter,
because it seemed like a good idea in 2023
when we started talking about it.
Flash forward to now in 2024, okay, almost here,
and it turns out not so much.
Anyway, we've listened to Hey Riddle Riddle and Kooloo Crew
for the whole drive there and back, nonstop.
In fact, we're still on this road trip and still listening.
There is no end.
We're trapped, help!
Someone say Jupiter, Neptune, Venus?
Ah, they don't remember either.
That gives a whole different flavor, by the way,
to their review because the review's probably
from last year, but it seems like they've been
on that road trip for like over a year.
That's fun.
That's scary.
We should send a team to go look for them or something.
Yeah, who do we have?
Who do we have on the deep bench?
We got, we can say Coco Cashmere, the Bad News Gang.
