This is a HeadGum Podcast. The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice.
Both of them were goldfish. It was the cabin of an airplane.
He stabbed him with an ice cream. And the horse was a Friday.
One, two, three, four, eight, riddle, riddle, riddle. I want to come into this episode with a good attitude.
I haven't had time to download a soundboard.
A revenge soundboard.
We sat in silence for a minute.
You said, does anyone have anything to start the episode?
I had something.
Okay.
You had a minute of silence.
You know, I brought something in, you had a minute of silence.
I brought something to the table, you had silence.
So I'm wrong, is what I'm being told?
That I had a fun, funny, and creative way
to start the episode?
Adol, please meet me so I don't start swinging.
Oh my god.
Ah!
I don't know which Erin to trust here.
Adol, you know which one's real.
One is a sneeze and then a noise of complete despair.
And one is me.
Addle, look at me.
It's Erin.
You know me.
One's pleading with me and one is sneezing on Mike.
These could both be Erin.
Addle, it's me.
Look at me.
It's Erin.
Come on.
Your old friend.
Remember?
Snap.
I think the sneeze one was Erin.
My bracelet.
I think that was there.
Hello everybody.
Welcome to Hey Riddle Riddle.
Riddle Puzzles Lateral Thinking Podcast, I think.
It's a riddle puzzles lateral thinking podcast.
Does any of this still apply?
Riddle Puzzles Lateral Thinking Podcast.
Oh yeah.
I think so.
Yeah, you need not apply.
Okay, great. That's my motto. Podcast. Oh yeah. I think so. Yeah, you need not apply.
Okay, great.
That's my motto.
We started this podcast in 2018
during the great podcast boom
and we've been hanging out ever since.
Is everyone okay?
This podcast booms until one of us busts.
That's what I always say.
That's what he always says.
I feel like recently we've been starting every episode
with a complete history of this podcast
and I don't know why.
Well, I'm trying to remember.
I feel like the show has given me such bad brain damage
that I have to show up and be like,
this is a riddle podcast.
We're going since 2018.
It's safe.
They can't hurt me through the screen.
I sort of have to do the affirmations when I log on.
I think that we all have to remember
that every episode of this show
could be somebody's first episode.
And that's why it's such an important position for us
to be in that we have to say, like we have to say our names.
We haven't said that yet.
Okay.
John Patrick Cohen, Adam Fai, Aaron Keefe.
We've said the names.
Now people know who we are.
Now they can associate our voices.
We've told them what the podcast is about.
That's great.
Great.
That's fair.
We're gonna admit on mic
that our brains are a little jumbled scrambled
because we just did our review crew episode of the Bee Movie
which you can find over at patreon.com slash hey riddle riddle.
So our brains are mush.
They're bloody mush that are pouring out of our noses and ears.
Bloody mush is also what they have for breakfast in England.
Ah, you guys.
Bangers and mulch.
Bangers and mulch.
Um, you know how normally every year we go to the Kentucky Derby?
With our big, big hats.
That's what I was going to say. We bring our big, big, big hats.
Aaron, do you still have that big, big, big hat that I bought you eight years ago?
JPC, I am so glad that you said this because that hat has not come up in conversation in years.
This past Friday, with Damon Royster and Elizabeth Andrews,
they both came over and we decided to watch
the new Simple Favor movie together.
Okay.
There's a scene where Blake Lively shows up
and she has a gigantic hat.
And I said, I have a hat that big.
And they said, no, you don't.
And I said, yes, I do.
And they went, you think you could have a hat that big
and we wouldn't know about it.
You're messing with us.
This is a classic Aaron Keefe goof.
And I went, no, I'm not.
I got up, I went into my bedroom.
There's a video I will send you of it.
And I walk out of my bedroom with the big hat
and egg on their face.
They doubted me.
And then I-
Can that hat get through doors?
I had to sort of
Push it down. Yeah, I guess now I want to see the video because I would love to see that how to get through a door
Erin didn't you once word on a windy day and it blew you all the way to Galapagos
Well, I actually lived in Chicago and then I was wearing that
And then a big wind picked me up and brought me to LA. I didn't even mean to move here.
And we'll send you your stuff one day. Thank you so much.
Erin, is that hat not part of your like-
Rotation?
Rotate, well yeah, rotation I was gonna say,
but is it not part of conversations
because you're not wearing it often enough?
Yeah, I don't think I'm wearing it often enough.
Like the two times I've gone on the JoCo cruise, I've thought I wanted to bring it, but you can't.
That's a whole suitcase. You know what I mean?
For context here, it must have been seven years ago,
and it must have been for, like, Christmas or for nothing.
I got Erin a humongous hat that's, like, as big as your body,
I would say. Yeah.
Yeah.
It is a torso-sized hat, if you sort of crunch it down.
And I've never seen you wear it. And Erin, you know, I would love it if, like, the next
time I came to LA, which is gonna be for the live show on August 1st.
How about I bring it to the live show?
I would love it if you wore it, or at least around me once so I could just, because I've
never even seen it., like in full action.
Yeah.
Well, GPC, can you do me at least a very small favor?
And bring me to a simple favor, if you will.
Bring me to a context where that hat makes sense.
Like I don't want to go into an escape room
wearing that hat.
Can we at least like go to the beach or something?
Oh my God, this hat is so big. Yeah, yeah, I'll take you to the beach, sure, why not?
Well anyways, speaking of big.
Was Blake Lively's hat this big
in whatever movie you were watching?
Yes, I will send it to you.
Okay.
This hat sucks, I hate this hat.
It's so fucking big.
Yeah, it's a huge hat.
It's so big, it's upsetting.
You can't see while you're wearing it.
You can't drive in the hat. Or talk to anyone. No, but Blake. Like you. It's so big, it's upsetting. You can't see while you're wearing it. You can't like drive in the hat or talk to anyone.
Like you can't make eye contact with it.
Blake Lively doesn't drive, right?
I don't know.
Oh my God, that's such a big hat.
It's a huge hat.
I love how for Lord, oh my God, that's such a big hat.
Speaking of big hats,
we normally go to the Kentucky Derby,
but this year we couldn't make it.
And I thought, well-
So we all had to just kill a horse
at our individual homes.
Is that what the Kentucky Derby is?
At least one horse dies every year, right?
There's no way that there's horses getting out unscathed.
Can I ask a question that might be dumb?
Oh, please.
Do the horses, you know, like when we have like the Olympics or a track meet or something,
the humans are running and they're trying to win and they recognize like to win is the best.
Like if I cross the finish line first, that is the best outcome.
Do these horses know they're racing or are they simply running or chasing something?
I think they know they're, I think they probably know they're racing, right?
Don't they?
No, maybe not.
No, that's greyhounds.
Greyhounds have a little bunny that they, like a little mechanical bunny.
So they're hunting.
So that might be a good, that's probably a good indicator of who's fastest
because they're maxing out to try and catch this food.
Yeah.
But the horses, I can't tell.
I've never watched a horse race,
but I just can't tell if their heart's in it
or if they know like what's at stake.
Other than fear, I feel like horses don't know
why they're running fast.
They're just like, the guy on me wants to run fast
and so that's what we're doing.
Do they shoot a gun at the start?
Do they shoot a gun at the start?
Possibly do that.
What's a starter pistol?
Is that only for human?
I'm not gonna Google it.
Yeah. Maybe they do.
Maybe they do shoot a starter pistol.
Cause it could be something
that like scares the horse a little bit, but I'm honest.
I'm gonna Google it.
If horses are like me,
you're not gonna get your best out of me if I'm scared. You'm gonna Google it. I don't care if I get it wrong. If horses are like me, you're not gonna get your best out of me if I'm scared.
You're gonna get your best.
The, when I'm at my best, I have to be made a certain amount of comfort, right?
Yeah.
Not too much comfort that I kind of want to like laze around and do nothing,
but I can't be like actively uncomfortable.
Yeah, agreed.
Um, they do a lot.
They used to do more starting pistols, but now there's like an electronic starting system where
a light goes off and there's like the sound,
like a popping sound.
Hmm.
Popping sound.
Yeah.
To like, like a, like to have it be the sound
of a pistol without actually using a pistol.
But I used to go to the horse races all the time
when I lived in Australia.
I used to wear a little fascinator, a little fun hat.
I used to have one glass of rose,
and then I would pick the name with the best vibe,
and then I would lose about $20.
And that's sort of what the horse races are.
We had a listener, Brandon, write in and said, Hey guys, here's a game that may make for a fun warmup.
I was invited by a friend to watch some horse races and the names of the horses
listed out in the program of each race sounded like the lineup for Coachella
or Bonnaroo style music festival. Okay. I came up with this game which is just horse or band and I've played it a few times
with my partner's family on drives. The entire premise is deciding whether a given name is for
a racehorse or a band at a recent music festival. This is fun. I like this. So are we ready? Is a
racehorse at a music festival or a band at a music festival? No, the racehorses, I just imagine racehorses
with sunglasses chewing gum on Molly
at a music festival.
A lot of bangles.
Yeah.
A lot of people get kicked.
Give that horse space in the pit,
space in the pit for that horse.
And they gave me a long list, Brandon gave me a long list
of horse names and band names,
but I have gimbal jambled them up.
Okay.
And so if I made any mistakes, I'm sorry.
And if I cut out any of the ones that you wrote, I'm sorry.
I love a gimbal jumble.
Before we get into this game,
one thing that I've been thinking about,
so a race horse weighs, let's say 1200 pounds, right? Conservative. Let's
say a jockey weighs like about a 12th of that. Because jockeys are small. They're not like,
I think that they're small on purpose, so they don't add like a ton of extra weight
to a racehorse.
I think it's coincidence.
It could be coincidence. If we were doing it so that like humans were racing, but we
wanted to add like jockey rules to it,
that would mean that we would have to have something that we,
that rode, quote unquote, us,
that was around a 12th of our body weight.
So let's say like 15 to 25 pounds.
What animal do you think you could do the best with that weighs like-
Corgi.
Next question.
Are you wearing it like a scarf?
How are you, how do you have the corgi?
No, no, we're going all out.
I'm wearing a saddle.
He's wearing a cowboy hat.
We're doing this right.
So are you running on all fours?
Cause I think I could beat you
if you're running on all fours
and I get just the two legs.
Or is the corgi, is it like a backpack that you put in?
It's a backpack, but the corgi is wearing a cowboy hat.
Okay, his head's sticking out,
his little tube-shaped body,
head's sticking out of the top of the backpack
with the cowboy hat, interesting.
And we're gonna win.
Yeah, okay.
Adam, what are you thinking?
Maybe like an otter or something.
Aw.
Interesting, now aren't those very slippery?
Well, that's the fun of it is they're slippery
and they're cute, but they also, I assume, can claw or bite.
So there's, you know, much like the jockeys
will kick a horse or whatever to make them tear faster.
Yeah, they bite each other during the race.
Yes, I want an animal that is gonna motivate me
that's not just dead weight,
but they're actually giving me,
like a skunk or something is gonna,
I'll be like, oh no, I gotta hurry before it sprays me. Like I want urgency versus just, you know,
the cutest animal.
I think, I think I'm gonna split the difference.
I think I'm taking a sloth,
because I think a sloth,
show your math, show your math
about splitting the difference.
Halfway between an otter and a corgi is a sloth?
Show your math.
I'm saying halfway between like a cute animal
and an animal that is very like practical for like running with, Show your math. I'm saying halfway between like a cute animal
and an animal that is very like practical
for like running with.
Because I think sloths are like the most
Star Wars looking creatures of the creatures
that exist on this world.
Like if you saw a sloth and a Wookie, you'd be like,
yeah, they're probably from the same kind of quadrant
of the galaxy or whatever.
But they also have those like,
they're like the whole thing is hanging, right?
They just love to hang.
So I'm like letting it like grab onto my arms,
like their branches or whatever.
And then it's just gonna like chill and hang
while I try my best to win this race.
You're not thinking sloths have painful nails
that they use to hold on to.
But that's what I'm saying.
It's gonna motivate me.
That pain is gonna make me just uncomfortable enough
that I'm like running fast with the sloth.
I'm telling you it would be digging into your skin.
I don't think it would just be painful.
I think it would be a nightmare.
If you knew the kind of stuff that I was into sexually,
which by the way, I keep bringing up
and you keep not wanting to hear about,
so that's on you, you would know exactly how much I'm into this sloth
digging its little nails into me.
All right, I'm sending that to every zoo
within 800 miles of you, that audio.
I'm not going to a local zoo to get my fucking rugs off.
I'm in Indonesia. Yeah, because you're banned.
I'm in Indonesia where the sloths live.
I have no idea if there are sloths in Indonesia.
I'm assuming there are.
I'm going to need you guys to keep score
of your own point total.
Just like Jeopardy.
Yes, just like Jeopardy.
And we'll have Casey add some fun horse racing music
and audio layouts to this.
So it sounds even more fun.
Thank you, Casey.
All right.
Oh, but Casey, can you take that scream
and make it like the,
but do all that with, Thank you, Casey. All right. Oh, but Casey, can you take that scream and make it like the,
but do all that with,
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
That's about to be three hours of Casey's life.
Casey said no.
Okay, great.
Casey and I had a conversation like two weeks ago
about boundaries and Casey,
I'm so happy that you said no to that request.
Did you tell him that he wasn't allowed to have boundaries?
Or were you talking to him about how you want to fuck us off and he said boundaries?
All right, here we go
Eddie's last
It's a horse
It's reverse psychology to be like last place and then it's gonna win
Yeah, I feel like if I don't, I know,
I don't know if I get a say, but cause it's jeopardy rules,
but I also agree.
It is a horse.
It's gotta be horse.

For whatever reason, I thought that the horses
were all men who ran.
Wow.
Wow, wow, wow.
Do they make female jockeys ride female horses?
Is it truly broken up by gender like this?
I don't know, man.
I don't know enough about horse racing.
I feel like if I did know more, I'd be like,
oh, actually, this is pretty dark stuff.
It's not good what they do to all the horses.
Erin, to bring it home, can you do band horse or boat?
Because I feel like a lot of boat names
and horse names have overlapped.
I wish I had known because,
and then actually at the end of this,
we'll all pick our boat name off of these.
We're almost done.
Might be like a sopping wet or wet springs eternal.
I think mine's gonna be let Seamus go.
All right, sensible move.

Dude, there is no way you can keep an accurate track.
It's impossible to have an accurate score.
All you had to do is keep track.
Someone will figure it out after listening.
You let us know who won.
All you had to do is keep track of me.
Say band horse 80 times.
All you had to do is keep track.
All right, you guys, you have to pick your boat name
off of that list.
I can, I can.
Party of One?
Was that, that was one, right?
Yeah, I will.
That's like a very lonely boat name.
It has to be a huge boat too,
and it's called Party of One.
Yeah, I'm gonna call my boat Nightmare
because I don't like being on the water.
It could be a land boat.
Yeah, a land boat.
Okay, great.
Let's see, there's a lot of names here.
Oh, you know what?
I think I'd name my boat 100 Drums.
I think that's a good name for a boat.
I like that.
Yeah.
I think, I like Dr. No-No as well.
Boats have to, don't boats have to have like nautical names?
Like they have to have like, they have to like reference like getting wet or like, you know.
Oh my God, they do.
They have to have a woman's name, I believe.
Right?
Cause they always say, she's a beauty.
Thar she blows.
Thar she blows. That's not a boat. That's not a boat. Isn't that a whale? That's a whale, I believe, right? Cause they always say, she's a beauty. D'arshe blows.
That's not a boat.
Isn't that a whale?
That's a whale, I believe.
Same thing.
But that's a good boat name.
D'arshe blows.
I feel like, is that the unspoken rule
that it's always a woman's name?
Or it's referenced in a...
Yeah, they refer to, they gender boats as women.
I think that people do that with cars too, don't they?
Like they've got cars, women's names and things.
I don't know.
It doesn't, I said- Nissan.
You think there's a woman named Nissan?
I think there's a lot of women named Nissan.
And guess what?
I see you and I hear you and I fucking believe you
when you tell me your name is Nissan.
Sonata Rafai, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Well, you guys, I'm trying to get the hell through this,
maybe Molly's science riddle book.
We don't know for sure who sent it in and we're sorry.
That's a good horse name.
If we don't have word from Molly,
we've used this book a ton of times.
I think we've heard from Molly.
Maybe Molly did not wanna be associated with
whether or not this was their riddle book or not.
If any of our listeners happen to own a horse, know someone who owns a horse
and they're looking for a name, maybe Molly's riddle book is for sale.
$50 at Erin Keefe.
Can you say that, but in the cadence of like a guy calling a horse race?
Oh, there comes now around the bend.
If you own a horse, do you know someone who owns a horse?
Here it comes now.
Oh, they're really racing.
Baby Molly's Riddle Book is up for sale.
$50.
Of course, they end Keith by a nose.
Baby Molly's Riddle Book.
See, that sounds perfect.
I like it.
I like it.
Has anyone ever named a horse like Aaron Keith by a nose?
Because I feel like saying by a nose is something that they have to say anyway.
So it can kind of confuse people.
Maybe there's like a no, a Dr. No, no list.
This feels like that's that's not like a TMZ headline.
Aaron Keefe buys a nose.
It's just me in a trench coat in a back alley trying to buy a nose.
That's because someone played got your nose with me
and they never put it back.
No.
It's the same system that they use to like,
do like license plate submissions
and like gamer tag submissions where they're like,
I'm pretty sure this is a slur with one letter change.
This one does not make it through.
We can't have a horse that's called.
And then Casey just obviously insert,
just do a previous slur that I've said on the show.
Just put it in.
Oh God.
Previous slur is a good horse name.
Is it?
Slur.
What is the quickest way to make oil boil?
Heat?
Oil boil.
Great guess.
Oh, to add a B?
Yep.
I was going with-
And aren't we having fun on this riddle podcast, huh?
Something with like acne or something like that.
Like the oil in your face becomes a boil
if you don't wash your face.
We got the answer, JPC.
I do wanna see this.
I'm just trying to explain this with my words.
Boys, smile, smile, smile.
You like this podcast.
That's funny.
I do wanna see a quick scene.
Yes.
Erin and JPC, you are two, uh, medieval soldiers.
Um, you are trying to storm a castle and somebody from on top of the castle has
just dumped a little bit of oil on you.
Like it was the last remaining, uh, dredge of, of their oil and a little bit got on
you and we're, and we're seeing that now.
I smell like popcorn.
I do.
What the fuck is this?
It's not even hot.
It's not even hot!
It's not even hot!
Give it a minute! Give it a minute!
It's him up there!
Look, look, he's got a little
He's got a little bottle of finishing olive oil
with a little spout at the top
and he's just drizzling it on us.
It's the trendy green graza one that's in everyone's kitchens these days.
It's like the thick glass olive oil but hey, it's not a garnish.
But it is. They have sizzle and drizzle graza does.
No, we know what you're using but we're invading your castle.
We're gonna come in and we're gonna, you know, P and R. I don't wanna say, you know what we're invading your castle. We're gonna come in and we're gonna you know P and R
I don't want to say you know what we're gonna do. It's the medieval times. We're gonna have our way but-
Speak for yourself
Pfft
All right, Doug and I didn't really discuss what we've been doing once we get inside the castle
I guess we have to-
That's expensive oil it is
And what do you mean give it a minute to heat up that makes no sense
It can't heat up on our bodies also. Yeah, stop wasting that. That's plunder. We were gonna plunder that so sorry
Did you say that you're a PR firm?
You said PR
Don't make him repeat it
Are you sprinkling?
Pink Himalayan sea salt on us yet
pink Himalayan sea salt on us. Yep.
As a finishing salt, we're not finished yet.
We haven't even got, we haven't even breached the gate.
Nah, you're cooked.
You're cooked.
Give up.
The salt signifies you're cooked.
I can see you trying to sprinkle basil on us, but it's getting caught up in the wind,
it is.
I don't even think he's wearing an official like soldiers
uniform he's got a big white puffy hat and a big white coat. Are you a cook?
Could I convince you two to lay down in that sous-vide machine?
Oh, it does look awful comfy. Also, am I a cook? I'm a chef Look at the hat every fold in this hat represents a way I can make eggs
Three fold. It's three folds. Well
hard boiled
Raw. All right, then. Well, if you're the way so everybody gets one fold if I want to get that I would automatically get one fold no
You're telling me that there's no soldiers. No guards left that they had to send out the chef
It's just me everyone else is dead, and I'm hungry. I've eaten all these guys haven't I oh
Maybe just seal this castle off. Maybe we'll just go tell the king.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
We don't want this one.
It's Alzavarro's it is.
Yeah.
It's just a bunch of dead people in one.
I gotta say, this is not shaming the way you look.
You just look really well fed.
Thank you.
It looks like maybe you ate everyone quicker than you needed to eat everyone.
Yeah, I thought there'd be a few days where I was like,
Oh no, human flesh, but I'll talk to it immediately.
Well, we're going head out then.
Alright.
Alright, just gonna hammer up a sign that says,
Well-fed cannibal insider.
Tell armies to come here please, send them here.
No. Only our enemies, send them here. No.
Only our enemies, only our enemies.
Five stars please.
Five stars, that's pretty good for a chef.
I don't think a castle has five stars
in this entire country.
How do you count atoms?
One.
Is this like an Adam and Eve thing?
No.
Is this like the atoms inside your body,
like the building blocks of like the universe or whatever?
Yeah, it's that kind of atoms.
With a microscope?
Carefully?
How do you count atoms?
By splitting them?
Remember this is annoying, jokey riddle book.
You don't split hairs?
How do you count atoms?
Bit by bit or like...
By carbon dating?
What's one of the words that is in the riddle?
Count?
No.
Adams?
Yep.
Do?
So just add, put that back in.
Adam, Adam together.
Yep.
You add them up.
I'd like to see a scene.
Spell differently.
Jesus Christ. Adol, you are a science teacher and you're trying to connect with your students, played
by me and JBC, through jokes.
Um, so a covalent bond, uh, covalent, more like codependent, uh, what that's gonna, it's
gonna glom on.
And then your complex carbohydrates
Carbohydrates everyone
Carbohydrates Oh
Carbohydrates mr. Henry. Yeah
Carbohydrates, what does this get it is a Gatorade?
Make comedy legal again. Am I right? Mr. Henry?
I'm having a really hard time following the lesson and I know that I'm not doing very well in this class
And I'm really trying to improve but it's hard when you keep making these detours
Detour will begin in just a minute just like a German docent detour
Well, I guess it's a German would be Z tour
Z tour will begin in just a moment. That doesn't apply anymore than if you add it to Z
It's a slant joke. It's a slant joke Zito, we're beginning just the moment. That doesn't apply anymore then, if you edit to Z, because it's detour.
It's a slant joke.
It's a slant joke.
Like slant rhymes.
Mr. Henry, wait, it's Thursday.
Wasn't last night your big open mic thing at the Chuckle Hut?
Yeah, how'd it go?
How'd it go, Mr. Henry?
It was at Chuckle Berry Fins, not the Chuckle Hut.
The Chuckle Hut has banned me for doing boring humors,
is what they call it.
Oh, that's like one of the mildest ways
to get banned from a place.
Yeah, yeah.
It actually went very well.
I heard it's because you drank too much.
Little colobale, a little coffee.
I did a loose five. And you fell asleep a lot
on stage in the middle of your set
because you were, you were one
of those people that drinks a depressant and just gets really sleepy and down.
Let me do the jokes I did last night for you all.
How's everybody doing?
Okay, so it was mostly crowd work.
Can we get back to learning?
My wife is on her periodic table.
Do they know you're a science teacher?
No.
Okay.
So wait, what's the end of that joke?
Is that, that's the setup?
Well somebody calls me sexist from the crowd and then I say fuck you.
But I say F you and then someone goes that's not on the periodic table.
And I go A you, but that's gold.
You're really counting on someone calling you sexist. What happens if they don't?
A lot of my jokes are supposing that the audience is hyper familiar with the periodic table.
Why? Why would you assume that?
I was told when I took improv classes to play to the top of my intelligence and to treat the audience as if they're geniuses.
So I make five.
Why'd you take improv class
if you were gonna go into standup?
So that I don't have anxiety when I'm on stage.
I don't.
Oh, the bell rang.
We didn't do anything again today, Mr. Henry.
Oh.
Oh, I'm gonna gather up my stuff
I've dissect dissect the pig at home
What?
Henry, I don't it don't launch into a thing about how the pig is all of our dads or whatever. Mr
Henry, it's it's still territory and our dads don't appreciate it. Okay
This is all between us, right?
Mr. Mr. Henry no no, Mr. Henry.
By walking out the door, that's a physical contract that you won't tell anybody what
happens in here.
Mr. Henry.
You'll know, Mr. Henry, we have the AP test in two weeks and none of us know anything
about chemistry, so we're all gonna fail.
This is a chemistry class?
I hope so, because he's been doing periodic table stuff.
Chemistry?
What are you two dating? Yes. Don't answer that. Yes, we are. Please don't answer that. I hope so because he's been doing periodic table stuff. But he was talking about-
Kevstree, what are you two dating?
Yes.
Don't answer that.
Please don't answer that.
Okay, well-
Yeah, you're not allowed to ask
and you shouldn't want to know.
We'll see you tomorrow, Mr. Henry.
Please get some sleep tonight.
No, you won't.
Tonight's my last.
Tonight's my last.
Mr. Henry, don't put that on us.
We don't want to hear stuff like that.
Mr. Henry scene. Uh...
How do engines hear?
How do engines hear?
They rev... they revert to their hearing.
Um...
Horsepower? Horse ears?
Piston. Piston. They piss because of time.
Remember how this is stupid.
I'm doing stupid.
We're trying.
We're trying stupid.
Be dumber.

Yeah.
Oh, by using their engineer.
Yeah, by using their engineer.
What does the mad scientist add to a bucket of water
to make it weigh less?
Piss.
Hole.
What was that?
It's a hole, yeah.
Did you say piss? No. Okay. that? It's a hole, yeah.
Did you say piss?
No.
Okay.
JBC thought it.
Well, now I did.
It's like, don't think of an elephant, right?
Like, now I'm thinking of piss.
Now I'm thinking of piss.
Yeah.
How do you know when a big wave wants to meet you?
It'll big wave at you?
Yeah, a big wave at you, or like it flags you down.
It crashes into you? It crashes into you?
It crashes into you?
Beach?
No.
What's a kind of wave?
Like a light wave, sound wave.

A hundred foot wave.
Yeah, but what's the beginning of the T?
A tidal wave?
Yes.

Fun.
All right.
I'd like to see a scene.
No, no, I wanna see a scene.
No, I would like to see a scene.
I'm saying you see, you called the last scene.
Erin, you and Adel are on the beach, you are a couple.
And Erin, you keep trying to leave and get into the ocean
because you think that the ocean is trying to meet you.
Right. Oh, look, another seashell.hell this is so cool there's so many.
Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Uh no. Okay I knew this would happen.
Oh the jellyfish that just washed up? No um I knew that I would get on one tv show and then
my life would turn into this.
Do you see the ocean moving in?
Well Kim, you were a background actor for Dexter Origins.
I wouldn't say you were on a TV show.
Michael C. Hall sort of looked at me.
Yeah, but I think that's because you were yelling his name and they had to cut and then...
Oh my gosh, I love it when my husband's my biggest hater.
I love that. No, I'm so when my husband's my biggest hater. I love that.
I know. I'm so proud of you.
I'm just saying.
I'm just saying you can't tell people you're starring in a TV
show. Well, all I'm saying is that you're going to have to deal
with having a famous wife now, because look, the ocean is
getting closer and closer and closer.
It's obviously obsessed with me and wants to say hello.
Is this your first time on a beach?
Yeah, because that's going to keep happening whether you're
here or not. I think the water keeps kind of lapping at the.
My therapist said this would happen.
Ever since I was on Dexter New Blood Origins,
my therapist said that you were gonna get jealous
and you were gonna tell me that all the success
is just in my head and that I'm crazy.
My therapist said this was gonna happen.
Huge fan of Dexter Newblood origins.
You heard that, right?
What was that?
Was that your, is that your new ringtone?
What was that?
What the fuck was that?
No, that was the ocean coming in, giving a little wave.
Okay, I should sign something.
I'm gonna sign the shell and I'm throwing you open.
I did hear that something.
Oh, what the?
What was it like meeting Michael C. Hall?
Shhhhh.
Oh my gosh, thank you for asking.
He was so sweet and I was such a big fan of Six Feet Under and he let me ask a bunch of
questions about it.
He was really, really nice and not as scary as Dexter.
Thank goodness.
I'm going to sign this seashell and throw it in the water.
Shhhhh.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
He's washing over your toes. What are you doing?
Hey, ocean.
I'm gonna go in there and put my butt in the water.
Hey, what the fuck?
What, it's just the water.
I can just put my butt in.
Kim, don't.
I want the water.
Don't put your butt in the ocean.
The ocean's hitting on you.
I have to pee.
Is that your butt or is that the woman
who played Dexter Morgan's sister?
What's her name?
What the fuck?
Oh, she married to a Navy brother. What is her name? What? Brother what is her name?
She played his sister, but then they got divorced I don't but now she's married to an avid brother
What all the ocean doesn't hear about shit until so long after yeah, she's married to an avid brother. Not awesome
Yeah, I mean, I'd love it when people find love after you know tumultuous marriage even
Yeah, I mean, I love it when people find love after, you know, tumultuous marriage even.
Yeah.
Hi, I'm your two ocean.
Oh, you do, you love it when someone finds love after.
You know what, I'm gonna go pee in the water.
Yeah, I just don't believe that if you're married
to a person, that has to be the person that you're with
because everybody makes decisions when they're young
and it's not necessary.
Yeah, don't let your husband keep you from
meeting the love of your life, huh?
What the fuck?
I mean, look, I'm college, so I don't really have to worry
about it in that same way, but.
Right. Is this like a Moana grandma thing?
I'm peeing in the water.
Don't!
I've been peeing in the water.
So you are pretty caught up on TV.
Alright, let's, hey Erin, let's take a freaking break.
You're right.
You're right. You're right. One, two, three, four,
eight, rattle, rattle.
Rattle.
This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.
Hey everybody, it's JPC and Addle.
Go ahead and say hello, Addle.
Give it a, give it a, give it a, huh?
Classic, classic you.
And I'm also here as always with Erin.
Erin, what's up?
Oh!
Oh!
Too true, Erin. God!
Yeah, too true.
And of course, it wouldn't be the show
without our fourth host, little Janet Varney.
Janet, say hello.
Wish I was in this.
Janet, you are, you are in this.
We're all here together and we're all here together.
All three friends plus JPC to talk about BetterHelp.
You know, mental health awareness is growing,
but there's still progress to be made.
26% of Americans who participated in a recent survey
say that they have avoided seeking mental health support
due to fear of judgment.

therapists from their diverse network of more than 30,000 licensed therapists with
a wide range of specialties.
BetterHelp is fully online, making therapy affordable and
convenient serving over 5 million people worldwide.
You can easily switch therapists anytime at no extra cost.
Erin, that sounds pretty good, right?
I've peed on a waiter before.
Okay, Erin, that doesn't really apply to what's going on here.
I mean, Adol, can you back me up?
I mean, am I going crazy?
Give it a, give it a, give it a, huh?
Adol, come on, man.
I mean, say anything else, say anything but that.
Give it a, give it a, give it a, huh?
Okay, well, I guess I'll just do the whole better help add myself if you guys aren't
gonna-
Oh, Aaron, bless you.
Oh, okay, having a little strong reaction to that.
Well, you know, I've benefited from therapy, obviously. My friends can tell who are here with me right now
that I am kind of the poster child
for what you can do with your life
once you've kind of talked it through with some-
I'm the butt fairy,
and I'm here to collect all the fat you got in your butt.
Erin, we can't talk about that on a better help ad.
Anyway, this is Mental Health Awareness Month.
So let's encourage everyone to take care of their well-being
and break the stigma that the world is better
when people are healthy and happy.
And we're all better with help.

Give it a, give it a, give it a, huh?
Adol, I mean, can you,
can you say, can you say anything else? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Okay, the first thing was better.
Hey, bruh, bruh, bruh, bruh.
Oh, yeah.
All right, what's another sand thing that we can do here?
Oh, look, Sandy's here.
Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa, but Aaron, is he like dressed as a dog,
or is this like a-
No, so we've never gracefully landed into this segment,
so I thought I'm gonna be a battle ax, huh?
From a month ago?
From a month ago, and sort of get us into this.
You know what you could have done?
What?
This is from the last one I just realized is,
my name actually has and right in the middle of it,
you could have called me SNY.
But we're past that, we're past that,
we're onto a new game.
But hi guys.
Hi.
SNY.
Hey, SNY.
It's something we love when people say,
here's what you could have done.
Yeah, yeah.
Is that a good improv technique?
Yes.
I'm still learning.
SNY, I got a question for you.
Your name is Sandor, you go by Sandy,
but have you ever had like, oh shit, I gave away.
Shh, no go ahead, if I ever was.
We'll just bleep out, Casey bleep out his real name,
we can't have people know his name.
No one needs to know his real name, go ahead.
Have you ever had a nickname that wasn't,
cause you already had to have like a natural nickname.
Sandy?
Yeah.
Yeah, well my full name is Shondor,
it's pronounced Shondor, it's Hungarian.
It's a pretty common name in Hungary
because it's like a derivation of Alexander,
like Xander or Alex here.
So Shondor, and then nicknamed Sandy
because it's right there in the spelling.
Have I had other nicknames?
Is that your question? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, Turdface, Buckhead.
Uh-oh.
I got picked on a lot at summer camp.
Interesting.
Then I do summer camps.
Do you still go by Fuckhead?
Because that's gonna get confusing
with three other Fuckheads on the podcast.
That's really funny.
No, but I recently referenced, I said no.
Like, no, good luck, Fuckhead.
Thank you for the thoughtful answer to that question.
Do you guys, I made a reference to the Esweepay bit
on SNL recently and they had no idea what I was talking about.
Do you remember that bit?
Nicholas Cage?
No.
I don't.
Oh, oh, yes, yes, the naming your baby thing.
The one that you can't get made fun of, yes.
Right, right.
So a friend of mine recently had a baby
and we're talking about baby names
and how many of them trigger lots of opportunities
for bullying on the schoolyard.
And I referenced a sketch where a couple,
Nicholas Gage, I wanna say Victoria Jackson,
but I can't remember.
Are trying to name-
That sounds right to me.
Coming up with names for their unborn child
and every name she throws out, he's like knocking down
because it's like, oh, the kids are gonna call him this
or whatever, and they're really outlandish,
stretches of the name, but in some sense is very true.
And then finally, after a couple minutes minutes of this and she's really exhausted,
exasperated, there's a knock on the door and he opens it.
It's a delivery and delivery man. And he goes,
I have a package here for asswipe Johnson. And he goes, it's a sweeping.
Was part of that, that the,
in that sketch that they give the kids some Icelandic name that is
hard to pronounce because they're like, well, no one can make fun of this name.
I don't know if they ever landed on the name.
I remember the heightening in that sketch getting very, very outlandish.
It's very good, yes.
But as they say, your favorite seasons of SNL are when you were 15, so
Not me. I love the new shit, baby
SNL 50
I don't know. Did you have things?
Yeah, yeah, I feel like I had a lot of nicknames
I mean adult calls me Japs.
We call Aaron the battle ax.
Um, but I, I, what was, what was, what struck me Sandy is that you have like,
and you have like a natural nickname.
So it's like, I, I very rarely meet someone who has like a pre-programmed, like,
I don't know pre-programmed is the right way to nickname.
You mean just the shortening of my name?
Baked in or?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
And when we had kids, we picked names that would have, that were either really
short that they didn't need a nickname or, um, or it was like that.
So my son's name's Ezra.
You just call him as and Zella, which is Zell.
I've been calling him Ezra.
I just saw him the other day.
I didn't know I was supposed to be calling him as.
No, you should not.
You should.
That's just strictly for me.
You do not have permission. As, as dispenser. I didn't know I was supposed to be calling him Ez. No, you should not. You should, that's just strictly for me.
You do not have permission.
Ez, Ez dispenser.
I'm gonna get it.
Now that I know I can't have it, I'm gonna get permission.
Next time I see Ezra, I'll be like,
hey, let me in, man, let me call you Ez.
Ez, easy.
Ez is so cool.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
So yeah.
What games do we have today?
I brought a new game.
This game is called what's the difference.
Well, I'm going to give you a setup.
Go on.
Did I interrupt you?
No, please.
You were right to interrupt.
I'm going to give you a setup between two things.
Uh, those two things can be described with words or phrases that are opposites,
but in a totally different context.
So for example, if I said, what's the difference between moving ahead of a car on the highway and a tear in your stocking?
Well, one is a pass and one is a run.
Pass and run being opposites in a different context, which is in this case
football, but I promise these are not all sports related.
Um, so pass and run are both are opposites of each other. Does that make sense? Yeah.
Yes. If we were answering that one without your help, would we have to get to these are
terms in football or no?
You wouldn't have to. You could just say the opposites. I mean, I think I'd be pretty clear,
but yeah, I mean, I think by the end of, yes, you should say.
They are contextualized by the end in terms of like, these are I'll be pretty clear. But no, yeah. I mean, I think by the end of, yes, you should say, they are contextualized
by the end in terms of like, these are terms used in whatever means.
Okay.
Yeah.
We'll fit.
Yeah.
Well, one of us will say it out loud.
And I should say, watch out for homophones and also, which are words that
sound alike, but mean different things.
Um, and our spell different and heteronyms, which are words that are
spelled the same, but are pronounced differently.
So you'll see what I mean.
Okay.
Um, what's the difference between a baked potato at Ponderosa and which are words that are spelled the same but are pronounced differently. So you'll see what I mean. Okay.
What's the difference between a baked potato at Ponderosa and a non-functioning appliance?
Whoa.
Ponderosa. I haven't thought of Ponderosa in years.
This question is sponsored by Ponderosa.
Pondergrossa.
Is it specifically baked potatoes?
Because they did like all you can eat steak, right?
I think this would be true at Applebee's or Chili's
or Cheesecake Factory or anywhere they served.
Is it because it's microwaved?
No, is it?
No.
Served in tin foil, butter and chives.
Outback Steakhouse probably.
Side, it's a side, side.
Really at your own home too.
It's fine. Now, what if a side, side. Really at your own home too. It's fine.
Now what, if you put a lot of stuff on the.
Stuffed.
Oh, loaded.
Loaded. Loaded.
Loaded.
Go on.
And what was the other one?
Yes, that's correct.
Non-functioning appliance.
So what's the opposite of loaded?
Overloaded.
And the opposite of loaded.
Loaded could have another meaning.
Loaded, loaded, wealthy. Full. Which is? Loaded, wealthy.
Full.
Correct, wealthy, so the opposite there.
Which also means a non-functioning appliance.
Broke.
Broke!
Oh my God.
Loaded and broke.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Does it make sense?
Not yet to me, but I am happy just to be ordering drinks
at the bar today.
All right.
Something uns- what's the difference between something unspecific and
something very personal?
Vague.
And I'll tell you that I'm happy to tell you the category of the other context.
If you want.
Yes, please.
All right.
This is military.
Military. Something unspecific.
Something very personal.
Broad.
Keep going, very close to that word.
Broad. In meaning.
Yeah.
Military ranks. General.
General. General.
General. General.
And what was the second half of it?
Something very personal.
Major.
Private. Private.
Private.
These are ranks in the Mimble Peabree.
Wow, general and private, okay.
This is hard.
I love it.
A great bowling move,
and the thing you use to achieve it.
Strike. Strike.
Ball.
There you go, you got it.
Strike and ball, which are opposites in?
Baseball.
Baseball.
What's the difference between lies and a grizzly?
Fibs and bears.
One of those is right.
Uh, lies, bears, and?
Truth.
Uh, what's another word for?
Bear is right, so what's the opposite of bear
in a totally different context?
Closed.
Covered.
Whoa, Erin.
It's another animal.
Erin.
That also means lions.
Lions and tigers.
Lions, lions.
No, that's nothing, JPC.
That's nothing.
It means lies.
Opposite of bear in an animal context.
If I told you the context, you would get it right away.
You'd get it instantly.
So bears and naked and then?
Something and bears.
Bears is bad, and bear is bad in this context,

which I don't care about any of these people, but you have to go around and see yourself
when you were in your prime everywhere.
Like they won't let you just not be like, they won't let you
just be you anymore.
You have to just constantly be seeing yourself
from 30 years ago.
You're ripped into the past every day.
I think the money helps with that.
You'd think so, but for Jerry Seinfeld,
I don't think it does.
I don't know why it does it, but for him specifically, it doesn't seem to.
It seems to be very upset about like college students.
Yeah.
The other guy's upset about something completely different, but we're really
not going to get into that guy.

Wait, did they call him Bogie?
Oh yeah.

you guys said that so casually
that I had never heard that before.
Yeah, me neither.
And that's why in Top Gun, we get the term,
you've got a bogey on your left.
Adol, that cannot be true.
Doesn't bogart mean to steal too?
To like keep, right?
Yeah.
Stop bogarting that.
Selfishly take something, you have to hog, yeah, it's a bogart.
Dan, isn't he just casually using Google in front of us?
Like he can still, like showing off
how much Google he's still allowed to use.
This is the year of no Google on the podcast, Andy.
So we are unable, we are unable to look
into anything that we say.
What makes you say I was using Google?
I just have memorized the dictionary.
Isn't that a possibility?
Isn't that an option?
Honestly for you, Sandy,
I would fully believe it.
All right, how about this?
A couple more.
How about this?
A cheese in an olive and cheese on a pasta.
And you're gonna hate this one.
Pimento and Parmesan?
Cheese on an olive is stuff. Blue. Cheese and all of this stuff. Mento is not a cheese.
Blue.
Blue cheese.
Blue is right.
And then cheese on.
Blue can be used to describe what?
Sadness.
Sadness, but it's not bad.
Another way we use blue.
Or think about cheese on a pasta.
On pasta.
Cheese on a pasta or a pizza?
Shredded.
I know, I keep saying uh, thinking I'm about to say pizza,
but I do mean cheese on pasta.
What'd you say, Erin? Like shredded or?
Shredded is close.
It's not shredded. Yes, that's torn. Grated.
Shades. It is grated.
But now think about that answer slightly differently.
Pronounce it slightly different. Grated.
And you get the opposite of blue.
Nope. Grated.
Grat. Grated.
Put a piece of punctuation in there.
I'm afraid to say anything
because I don't want to sound fucking stupid.
Because I don't know the answer here.
I don't know the answer to this.
G-rated.
Blue and G-rated.
So dirty.
And these are types of humor.
Blue humor, G-rated humor.
That's not some humor.
No.
Do we hate them?
He's melting.
Yeah, I don't like that.
He's melting like the guy in Indiana Jones
who's got the wrong cuffs. I did tell melting. Yeah, I don't like that. Jeezy's melting like the guy in the Indiana Jones who made the wrong cup.
I did tell you.
It was so hard to think about.

What's the difference between a shitty situation
and another shitty situation?
Whoa.
One sucks and one blows.

One blow.
Hey. Oh, whatever. The first one. The first one I. You got it. Wow. Hey. Hey.
Oh, whatever.
The first one.
The first one I was able to get.
Anything to plug, Sandy.
I hope that's what you stand up said, this whole thing you just did.
Yeah, I'm still plugging away at making Rattles.
Rattle.quest, R-A-D-D-L-E.quest.
It's my daily word game.
It's gotten a lot of good feedback, a lot of fun, a lot of daily solvers.
It's a word ladder game where you are
transforming words into other words
using the clues that I give you.
And so that's. Yeah, go ahead.
My promotion for that Sandy is if you
also have found some of the other
daily word games that you play are a little too easy.
This one I found like significantly challenging and it's challenging
in a very enjoyable way.
And so I would say try your first one and then go back and play like previous
days to like really get the hang of it.
Because then by the time the next day is rolls through, you'll have like a way
better like understanding of how to play it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's totally fair.
Yeah. It's tricky to get started.
And by design, the game gets easier as you start solving the clues.
So by the end of the day's ladder, you only have a few options for which clues.
But when you start it, you've got like 14 options for what clue could work next.
And it's about trial and error.
But it's very satisfying to go through and knock off the ones that work and solve
your way to the end.
Thanks for playing.
Thanks for making it.
Yeah, it's been fun.
I made it for Enigmarge, which was this March daily puzzle challenge,
but I was like, oh, what if I could turn this into a game that everyone could play?
Hey, Sandy, this is not a note for that, but just say that you made it for your wife because you love your wife,
and then you'll be able to sell it to the New York Times for $18 million.
Just FYI.
Oh, that's the piece that I was missing.
It's like you made it for your wife and it's like a very special reason,
and people really respond to that.
Right. And her name is Rad. So I called it Raddle.
Okay, great. Great. And just for future reference, that's how you sell it.
Okay. All right. This is great. Thanks, for future reference, that's how you sell it. Okay, all right, this is great.
Thanks, New York Times, that's totally the truth.
Hey, Erin, you're a little bit more into being a battleaxe.
Are you ready to kick Sandy off?
So Sandy, we made a bed for you
if you want to stay over.
Erin, do you have any chamomile tea?
Of course, yes, stay as long as you want.
Addle, get out of the bed.
It's Sandy's bed now.
Damn it.
Erin, you are the rattlist.
Oh, thank you.
Wow.
Thank you, thank you.
All right, Sandy, off with you.
Bye.
Sandy, I'm going to miss you, is what I would
say if you were still here.
Oh, boy.
What are we plugging, everybody?
Erin, what do you got?
You got something coming up that you gotta plug?

We're doing a 10 city tour,
so we should be coming hopefully somewhere near you.
JPC, anything to-
Heyriddleriddle.com slash live
and just find your city on that list.
Nothing for me, just come and see us on tour.
Some of these tickets are selling out way, way faster than we thought they would.
So there is a possibility that we had late shows in some of these cities if they sell
out too, too quickly.
But if you're on the fence about grabbing your tickets, even though some of them are
a little ways off, I would do it ASAP if they're not already gone.
Also, please don't be mad at us for not coming to your city.
Chances are the theaters in your city goes to JPC. That's probably why we're not already gone. Also, please don't be mad at us for not coming to your city. Chances are the theaters in your city goes to JPC.
That's probably why we're not going.
Ghost of JPC.
JPC, do you have a review to read or a plug?
I did my plugs.

I wanna get out of here.

Okay.
Jupiter.
Hahaha!
Aaron forgot the one word.
Ahh!
I was stalling. And our appearance is a music. Bogo created by Emily Tardamus and Emily Nemours.
Aaron forgot the one word.
I was stalling. I was trying to piss JPC off.
And even now, Casey's including this to make the episode even longer.
That'll make JPC so mad.
People love bonus content.
They love long foreign bonus content.
