Guys, there's a family of birds in my hat.

Can someone get them? Can you get them? Adel, I love when you joke. Please help me. The doctor was the mother. He stood on a block of ice. Both of the network of fish. It was the cabin of an airplane.

He stabbed him with an ice cream. And the horse was a thing Friday. Why? Is that from the Black Friday sales? Did you try to get a new flat screen TV and sort of get into it? I tried to get flattened on my screen by a TV. There, I got a fistfight. Oh, boy. I got a fist fight the best one.

All right, let me shine this flashlight in your eyes. Why my eyes? He's the one with the concussion. Just trying to get that reflection going. They're like little chiseled diamonds there into your eyes. Oh, thank you. But, Adel, I feel like you might have a concussion. Let me just shine a light in your eyes.

Yeah, I went to ask JPC what was wrong with him, and I bonged heads. So hard. Adel, I see a lot of reflections coming from your eyes. Those look like, and I hate to say it, conflict diamonds, which, as you know. Oh, no, I was going for a lap groan. No, we have to take them out because, you know, it's pretty unethical to have those, even if they are in your eyes. Yeah, that's what Bono sings. That's what Bono sings.

Sunday party, Sunday, Sunday, she will be loved. We love Bono. We love Bono, folks, don't we? Don't we love Bono? Happy December. The studio audience just went crazy. Listen, he's giving it his all. What it is, I don't know.

He's giving it his all. He's wearing sunglasses and he's doing something. He's giving it his all. That's how I should have said it. Fuck. Welcome to Hey Riddle Rental, a podcast about the holiday season. Three concussed hosts talking about how Bono always gives it as all. You think you've ever had a concussion?

Addle, you played football. You've had a concussion, right? Probably. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes the helmet pops off. Sometimes the ball goes too hard. Do you think you've had a concussion as an adult?

I don't think so. but I've fallen pretty hard Yeah I saw somebody hit their head once Like going into an entryway Like a low entryway Yeah And as soon as I saw it I was like

They have a concussion Like it was like I could feel the concussion In my body I was like I felt my brain Get rattled a bit You got an empathetic concussion I think I got a yeah A sympathy concussion

What happened next? Did you Oh they fell They fell down And they were out of it and kind of just sat with them for a while. You didn't stare straight ahead like a maniac while people took photos of you. We're referring to nothing.

That's nothing that's been in the news. We're referring to Bono. Well, you know, in that guy's defense, once you're up, your legs are locked. And once they're locked in place, that's going to take, what, 25, 30 minutes to get those bad boys unlocked. You're going to have to have your wax guy come in, grease up. the knees. It's only a matter of time until I faint in the public space while I'm standing behind someone giving a speech. So I'm counting my days until that happened. Yeah. I mean, but fainting, as long as as long as there's someone there to like hopefully catch you a little bit, then you're

probably not going to get a concussion. But fainting is also terrifying. It's a, to see someone faint and to be to be the victim of a fain. Aaron, I think when you eventually faint in public, because I agree, it will happen. Of course. It'll be like that scene in Princess Bride when Robin Wright jumps out of the window into Andre the Giant's arms. Hello, hello, lady. Except I'm Andre the Giant, and I've passed out, and I drop her. Hello, lady. I'd actually like to see a scene. Is that so insane?

Yes. Great. We do have to check you for a concussion. And I get that. JBC, you are at a concert, and you're a little dehydrated. And Adel, you are a fainting. the concept of fainting, and you're going to, like, tap on his shoulder

and tell him it's his time and that he's about to faint. Oh, my God. Whoa, hey, this is one of my favorite songs of those. I think they'll get some water. No, no, you won't be getting to the water in time. Hey, you enjoyed the concert? Huh?

You enjoying the concert? Yeah, I mean... Yeah, how to dismantle an atomic bomb? Pretty sweet tour. this is this is for my money this has to be their best album oh yeah name one of your favorite songs from how to dismantle an atomic bond oh atomic bond yeah you got about 10 15 seconds tops okay i want to say she will be loved by marood five hey are you okay oh thank god um no i think i need to i think i'm my like leg's feel nod your head no but say yes Do what?

Nod your head no, but say yes. Oh, you're already doing it. That's like a pat your belly and pat your head or whatever. Shh, shh, shh, it's time. Time what? It's time. Good night, my sweet prince. You can't kiss a stranger.

Good night, my sweet prince. Hey, I don't know, I don't know. Okay, well, hey. What are you doing? Who is this? I punch fainting in the face. Seen. That's how Adel got to.

this black guy. Yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah. Hey, what if we, we've been so good lately. No. Aaron, what do you? We have, have we, have we, have we, Aaron? It's so good lately. We deserve a little treat. Yeah, let's do a Patreon just cause.

Let's make a main feed of Patreon and make a Patreon a main feed. Let's punish those who pay us every word. Yes. I mean, we've been doing that the whole time. You get to do another Patreon right after this, Aaron. Can't you just wait? No, I want to do it now. You got Patreon in my main feed. You got main feed in my Patreon.

Reesies peanut butter cups. Recy's peanut butter cups. How was everybody's holiday? Did everybody have a good Thanksgiving? People are not under the impression that we record the day before these comes out. These come out. We don't have to put on airs. Although speaking of it's now a good time to talk about how stressed I am.

All of my flights to the East Coast for tour and the holidays have gotten canceled. Oh, no. I wonder how that's going to work. And by the time this has come out, it's already worked out. We did the tour, and it was amazing. We know how the tour ended. I might need to drive six days to get there. I did look at, luckily, like, it's, you know, air traffic controllers, luckily that are shutting down,

which is why airplanes and airports are, like, shutting down at canceling flights. and not trains. And on the East Coast, like, there is a way to, like, take a train if you need to. But if my flight to Philadelphia gets canceled, I'm just, like, driving to Philadelphia, I guess. I guess Adel and I are bundling up and we're making our, making the 14-hour track to fucking Philadelphia. Another road trip. Another road trip. I'm quite worried because I will need to leave literally six days before tour starts.

Yeah, it would be harder for air. Right, you're right. Didn't Willie Wonka or someone build like a bullet train from L.A. to Philly? That happened this year, right? Yeah, that happened in between recording it. The Wonka Tuttle's under Vegas? How long was he out? How long was Adel's concussion?

I don't know. I think it's still happening. Did he give himself a real concussion from a scene? Nepal's letting people in now, right? Yeah. Yeah, so everything's fucked. But you know what, Aaron? I think the answer to this first riddle is Waterpark.

I think, though, ultimately, it could be kind of a blessing in disguise because if you are a person, which many people are, who does not like to see their family during the holidays, this is kind of like the perfect excuse to get all your shit canceled. You're like, oh, I'd love to come home and get in a fight with Uncle Chris about, you know, immigration, but it really looks like it's not going to be happening for me this year. I unfortunately love my family And Thanksgiving's the only one Everyone goes to me You don't love all of them Oh jeeps You got thrown under the bus

No I actually think about that She said a bunch Mitch Uh Aunt Catherine Um Oh One of your sisters

The big two Specifically you don't like I've tried I know that I know a bunch of Aaron's family members By name But I You really just guess

Biblical names And you're halfway there Yeah Is there a Molly in the Bible yeah she's the one that cut that baby in half right that's a smith song right molly in the bible king molly from the bible is he enter waterpark to this first riddle did i call the shot um you called the shot but nobody knows what you are shooting at or why um so i'll give you a point yes because i feel bad for you thank you ad'll be happy for me yay hello lady um but i did what you at this point i know

who won dancing with the stars. Isn't that fun? Unless the government shut down has affected which stars were allowed to dance. I bet it has. Yeah. Because if they shut down NASA, then they couldn't get the telescope to the stars. And so they were unable to distinguish the stars from each other. We've been dancing with the quasars this whole time.

Oh, no. I bet a Sandy Richter, Aaron. Oh, everyone's going to be so pissed if it's him. I'm going to be so excited. I think that they'll get us straightened out. Trump is going to take care of election reform, and so that'll probably apply to Dancing with the Stars as well. He might win Dancing with the Stars this year.

Good point. What if Dancing with the Stars you could only do if you went in person voted and you had to show your ID? I would make it every single week. It would go down from like 50 million people that vote to like one million people, but they would be the most devoted. It'd be like how U.S. elections work, where it's like, hey, pretty great turnout this year, 45%

That's not bad We're going to do more of Zoe's In person voting We're going to do more of Yeah our democracy is in Absolute tatters Not really even a democracy To begin with

So just kind of a system of norms That turned out We're not very normed We're going to do more of Zoe's And the dumbest pigs Are running the farm The meanest bullies you've ever experienced The dumbest pigs

We're here at Hey Riddle Riddle Are trying to do escapism Best we can But sometimes The dam breaks and the pain comes through. Zoe listed some more of these animal parade riddles that we did last time I was in charge. And I love these.

Can I just say? I love these. Wait, sorry, is old man puzzles in charge all of a sudden? Is old man puzzles the one that is allowed to make the final call? Like, if I got really hurt and had a medical situation right now, would you get to make the choices for me because your old man puzzles? Do you become, like, the default? DNR.

Do you not resuscitate? Oh, is that what that means? You didn't even ask what was medically wrong with me. I don't like that. Don't ask, don't tell, Larry. Don't ask, don't tell. DMB. Not my business.

Just kill her. I don't need to know. It's a broken arm, asshole. Sir, she's up in bed and talking. No, DNR. What the fuck is an arm asshole? I mean, if that breaks, you're pretty fucked, right? I don't even know that I have.

one at all you're you're going to be making all my medical choices i don't you are the default old man puzzles you created the show you were the first old man puzzles so if anything goes awry here i think you need to take over you're saying i have power of attorney i regret bringing any of this up well i regret that we simply must do an animal parade do do you did say animal parade Just to make quite sure. You did say Animal Frade Puzzled. No.

I'm in charge. Shot. Adel, that looked like someone who is like the first marching band in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, took one step and fell and ate shit immediately. They're like, sir, it's September 24th. And I'm like, oh, am I early? They blow the whistle. They're like, and up, and fall. We were going to do more of Zoe's animal.

Parade are riddles. The riddles that's always submitted based off of, loosely off of Animal Parade. So no parade. But I was going through these. And I think we're going to skip around. They submitted more than we're going to end up using. But I want to do this one because I think this one is very fun.

So if you remember... We've got to do an Animal Parade intro first. No, we're not doing an animal parade because we're not doing an article and we're not spending a lot of time on these. So, JPC, we're not going to do like, I don't know, a snail with a full-on perm? A manatee who just cut their bangs.

No, we are not doing the same animal parade. I cannot be, no, it was the whole episode last episode. I cannot be more play with you. We have much more to do today than these animal parade rentals. We are finishing these up from the last episode. You already had your cake. You cannot have two cake. Let them eat cake.

That's a bad thing. With that lady said that, it was a bad thing. Teacher's so mean. Although when I'm teacher, I really like when you guys respect and listen to me. Here's, okay, I'll give you a refresher on the game, but the game is I'm going to give you four animals and then you're going to have to, and then I'm going to give you the lost animals, and I can also give you the lost items, and then you'll have to give me, so it's like four animals lose their items, then you'll have to give me what you think the answers are, okay? So there's a, so your first one is a tiger with pancakes, a rabbit with drumming, Sticks, a cuckoo bird, or a cuckoo bird, with earmuffs, and a toucan with newsgroups. These are all cereal mascots with pancakes?

What was it? Adam. You're correct. These are all serial mascots. You have it. But you're lost animals now. So it's pancakes, drumsticks, earmuffs, and news groups. The lost animals that you're looking for to solve.

all for are bee, frog, and wolf. Honeynut Cheerios. Mm-hmm. So how are we getting so tight? Smacks the frog. Tony the Tiger. Smacks them in the lips. Frosted flakes, but here he, oh,

frosted flakes pancakes. Yes. The second one was a rabbit with drumsticks. Rabbit, rabbit would be tricks, drumsticks. Okay, got it. So Cheerios would be. He's a genius. He's doing this.

Um, Mary Souls. Now, one of the reasons why I said it was hard was they really couldn't come up with something that rhymed with Cheerios. So this is the slantiest of slant rhymes. So if you could get something that kind of sounds like Cheerios. Cheerios. Merry Souls.

Cheerios. Scary hose. Aaron, I'll give you scary hose. Okay. I wish you wouldn't. They had stereos, but I think stereos and scaryhose is close enough, so I'll give you scary hose. Smacks to flap jacks.

smacks snacks cracks cracks um checks yeah i mean that works uh again the one that they had something that rhymes but you got something that rhymed as well they had a frog uh with jet packs okay oh it can be non food items yeah like earmuffs news groups um because hose i figured okay never mind um wolf and then your last one is a wolf koki koki crisp is that a wolf yeah it is You got the cereal, right? So what does the wolf have? Cookie Crisp. Charming Lisp.

A lisp. That's actually the one that they had. You got that one right on the money. Well, I do want to see a scene. This is kind of our, really our bread and butter. I want to see a scene. Adel, you are the wolf, I think it is, on the cookie crisp box, and you're talking to Aaron, who is a child through the box. He's eating.

Kauki Cori. Not again. Beth, no, Beth, Beth, listen, it's time to try me out. No. No more Rice Krispies, try Cookie Crisp. Hey, hey. I never realized that I sound like Penny Wise. Yep, yep.

Hey, last time this happened, a frog came... Fucked your mom? Yeah, came out of the box, fucked my mom, and they got married last year in Vegas. Oh, congratulations. He's my dad. He's actually at my parent teacher conference right now. I can't do this. What's your name?

Uh, my name is, oh, no one's ever asked me. I want to say Cookie Wolf. Okay, Cookie Wolf. But that could be a TV on the radio album. My mom is freshly fucked, so we've got that under control. This has been devastating for me. I'm getting teased at school. My stepdad's a frog, you understand?

Yes, I was teased at school too. I had a charming lisp. Charming lisp. Okay. Uh, Cookie Wolf. Um, you seem great. You're dessert. for breakfast.

Oh. This is awesome. Yeah. I don't know if I should be eating. How's breakfast going down there, honey? Good, good mom. Yeah. Um, wait, mom.

No, I don't. You don't want to fuck my mom? I do, but. Yes, honey? How serious are you about smacks? Honey, I can't hear you. I just got out of the shower. Do you want me to come down there?

Do you want me to introduce you? If I bite you, do you turn into cereal? Never mind. See, this is viral marketing for our smacks the frog. Please don't fuck my mom's shirt that we have in the T-Public store right now. Click the link of the show description if you want to go and pick that up. Can you imagine? Perfect for the holidays.

A box of cereal that says the cereal that fucks your mom. I mean, now I can. Would you believe that? I felt like I could not, when I commissioned this specific piece of artwork, that I could not put the words, fuck my mom on the box. So I had, I said, we'll kind of cleverly allude to it. But I don't think anyone's going to wear a shirt with the word, unless the shirt just says, please fuck, please don't fuck my mom. Well, put it on the back of the shirt, because that's what you did with your demographic shirt and people wear that in public. That's right. Can you imagine, I know being a teacher right now is incredibly hard and maybe the worst time in history. But can imagine being a teacher. Why? What happened? What? Can you imagine being a teacher in like 1997 and you have a class filled with students who had cookies for breakfast, trying to teach them?

Their brains are literally, they just had a ton of sugar in dessert an hour ago and now they're loose until it's dunkeroo time in the middle of the day. They just gobble down a bowl of mostly marshmallows. Yeah. Isn't that insane to just be like, I ate marshmallows for breakfast. I ate 1.3 pounds of marshmallows for breakfast. We just, ready to learn. Pumped them filled with sugar.

We're like, okay, go learn how to be a doctor. Let's do this. It's, yeah, I don't. Yeah, I mean, I think that there's like, I mean, there's just a lot, a lot wrong with that scenario. But my mom, when we were growing up, we weren't allowed to have sugar cereal and we weren't allowed to have, like, soda.

And I'm like, I did. I had a lot of sugar cereal and I had a lot of soda. But I'm also grateful that I didn't, like, looking back on it now. I'm like, I was prevented from eating a lot of shit that I should not have ever consumed, that I am grateful for that, even though at the time I was like, I'm going to hide cans of Mountain Dew in the couch so that no one could take them from me. I, you know, that's addict behavior.

I was going to say that, but I think my mom, looking back, should have gotten better snacks. The best we would ever have is cheese it sometimes or Cape Cod potato chips. I ended up hitting my head all the time. Speaking of concussions, I ended up not turning out right. I could have had, I could have used a better snack. I could have used some gushers from time to time. Oh, gosh, you're top tears. I feel very conflicted because around Halloween this year,

I do not want to hand out candy because I don't like condone the eating of candy. It's not something that we eat in my house. And I hate that I'm like, well, yeah, but I'll just like, I'll just feed all of the neighborhood children full of candy. But then again, I don't want to be the house on Halloween that's, like, giving out, like, a nice shiny apple. But as I was walking around trick-or-treating, I haven't been trick-or-treating, you know, obviously in decades. I was like, well, what the fuck do people get? He said that like he's been in disguise several times, but keep going.

Yeah, I'm just taking candy that other kids would be getting and throwing them at the dumpster. It's like the trick-or-trick-trick Grinch. But I was like, I don't want to buy candy. And I did. I ended up buying candy this year to, you know, to hand out. But I saw so many people having it. awesome, like I wrote on all these ideas for, like, non-candy things that people were giving out on Halloween. People were giving out these, like, little, like, single, like, Play-Doh

things. People were giving out, like, a, like, little, like, um, it's not, you know, not necessarily better, but little, like, plastic spider rings, like, little, like, five-simple toy things. People were giving out, um, little, like, bags of cheese puffs, like, I don't know, I don't know what the brand were, but they were just like a ton of little things, some snacks, some toys, some things like that that were not candy. And I was like, okay, cool. So this is the last year. This is the last year that I do candy. And next year I'm doing like little trinkets. There was a house in my neighborhood in Chicago that it was really funny. They did, they would dress up like in Easter wear, the mom and dad that was hitting candy. And they'd have eggs. And some of them would have like one starburst in it or like a little Halloween. toy, but some of them had like $5 bills in it. So people would go and it's like there's this excitement about what you could

get in your egg. But isn't that? I gotta say, that's Easter. That's something that you do on Easter. But that's a funny bit to be the person in your neighborhood who's like being funny. Were these people just do it like these are like breakfast for dinner people?

We're like, we just do Easter for Halloween. We do Flag Day for Christmas. You ready to order apps? I'll do the cheesecake. The cheesecake. We're kind of one of those fun. couples. We're a deranged family. You, but you hitting on like a toy or Plato is not, you're not establishing your brand

as the craziest guy in the neighborhood. Like, I think you need to do, you're a professional comedian. You're exceptionally insane. Like, maybe hand out something that is a representation of your branding. And I do, oh, yep, I do see that there is a, all right, here we go. Let me just press this button. It's the craziest man in the neighborhood. the wackiest dude in the town the weirdest man in Halloween is J.P. Riddles. Halloween recap. Can I also say?

He eats his sweater and takes off his shoes and throws them through a window. J.B.C. casually brushing aside the call for J.P. Riddles. Very much my vibe in my neighborhood is the most low effort person in the neighborhood. That's the brand that I have built up over the past five years. That's a shitty brand. You can do better.

And I will also say, even if I tried, I would be nowhere near the craziest motherfucker in the neighborhood because there are some crazy motherfuckers in my neighborhood. And, Aaron, you're going to love this. They're not doing it to be funny. Okay. A lion with a cane, kangaroo with a couch, rhino with some corn, and a shark with a pen. Now, is some corn? Is it necessarily, is it necessary to say some? No, I just think it's just, if you say acorn, it sounds like acorn.

I see, yeah. Or, but so it's, it's just corn. Is this a word one or like a, is it a word one or like a, does it rhyme with like where they live or something about them? Something about them. Not where they live, but yes, something about them. So kangaroos have pouches. Okay. This kangaroo had a couch.

Lions have mains. This one has a cane. Yeah. Rhinos have horns. This has corn. Sharks have fins. This one has a pin. Okay.

So your lost animals are a camel, an elephant, and a lobster. Camels have mumps. Elephants have trunks, skunks. Okay, that works. What was your one for camel? You just said mumps. Humps to mumps, I guess. Humps to mumps, okay.

And what's your, and lobster? And lobsters have shawls. No, that doesn't run with claws. Cloles. Clopsers have. What, Aaron? claw flaws they have flaws yes so you got it it was flaw was right on the money so Aaron gets two bonus points the elephant has a drunk and the camel has a pump the elephant has a drunk yeah that makes more sense than mine

what was yours I was just pregnant for two years I was just pregnant for two years what a can have a drink after making an elephant I was pregnant for two years yeah Adel you're going to be that guy to deny the elephant a drink after they were pregnant I want sushi, I want soft cheeses and want to get margaris with my girls. That elephant can't have sushi. Oh, can't is it? That's like grapes for a dog here. It's poisoned for an elephant.

No, it's not. Yeah, I ate like, upside and I tell me a little bit, but I'm mostly just having the best time out here. I'm going to take a bath in a month. Mother elephant found dead after consuming sushi, which as we know is like grapes for dogs. And guess what? She died smiling, bitch.

Aw. That's the bar. As long as you die with a smile on your face, you can go out however you want. That's my dream for every woman out there. Elephant or not. I hope you die with a smile on your face. That's a local watering hole. Free as a bird.

Oh, I had a dream about every woman. Every woman. And you know how I want to go out, Erin? On a break. With a break. Yeah, with an ad break. That's how I want to go out. You got it, Aaron.

That's another two points. This podcast is sponsored by Squarespace. Excuse me, you two travelers. I'm from a different time, and I need to know how things work in this time. What's my hair color in 2028? What's my hair color in 29? What's my hair color in 23? Oh, I'm from the past.

We have decided. that we want to unionize and we're going on strike against old man puzzles. You've been throwing your weight around this episode. It made us feel very small. We want health insurance.

We want eight weeks paid time off. I'll give battle health insurance because you'll never use it. You can have zero health insurance. What? Health insurance for you, Aaron, would bankrupt us. It would destroy the show.

All right Oh my God I thought that was a real rat That was why I caved I thought that thing was going to eat me All right ready for this riddle book that someone handed you at some point Someone did a really nice thing though When they did they write their name on a

Maybe maybe they probably wrote a really nice letter or something that I've thrown away But they did a really nice thing when they handed it be this riddle book or the synth of this riddle book, where they tabbed out with these like nice colorful tabs, which are the best riddles in the book. Now, some of them are visual riddles, so I'd have to just skip them anyway.

A riddle Somalié. Yeah. Huh. Is that? Sure. They're picking out the best. Yeah, I guess so. That's amazing.

Curating an experience. So this is a curated riddle experience. Here's your first riddle from this curated riddle experience from this book. The font on the front of this. book is so hard to read that I'll just never know what the book is called. Oh, take a picture of that font and let's use it for the shirt that says, please don't fuck my mom. Ah.

What if we wrote, please don't fuck my mom, but we just like translated it into Japanese and then back to English. We did that like six or seven times. Oh, guys, can we write it in wingdings? Come on. The wind will never know the touch of a femme? I guess. Okay, here's your first one. on your back or hold me in your hand, break the former, a bill to demand, break the latter,

knowledge you'll land. The latter, I'm assuming, with T's not D's. Oh, yeah, baby, T's not D's. T's get degrees. On your back, on your back or hold me in your hand? On your back or hold me in your hand. Break the former, a bill to demand. Break the latter, knowledge you'll land.

So back would be breaking you get a bill. So on your back probably has to do with the bill being paid. On your back, or hold me in your hand, break the former a bill to demand. Break the latter, knowledge you'll land. So if you hold it in your hands and break it, you'll get knowledge. Is this like a book? Fortune cookie. Adel, a book is part of it.

We're actually looking for like two things and one of the things is a book. So the second one's a book. Mm-hmm. A checkbook. Break the ladder, knowledge you'll land. That's not the book one? That's the book one. That is the book one, yeah.

But the answer's not book, but it's describing a book, yes. Interesting. On your back, bill to demand. What would you break on a book to land some knowledge? Egg. Ugh. Egg? Yeah, we both said egg.

Oh. Well, just because that's like an answer to like riddles. Is that why you said that? yeah let's say yeah and that i yeah it's not that i don't know how to read or how to cook an egg honestly if the book is hot enough like if it's a dan grisham you could cook an egg on it is it dan grisham no it's john grisham right dan brown and john brown uh charlie's dad um on its back so um yeah yeah the this This is a part of a book.

A spine. Oh, if you break your spine, you have to pay the medical bills. Mm-hmm. Not you, Adel. Not me, because I don't use my health insurance. Well, no, you have it. You negotiated for it. Yeah.

Yeah. Now, more like you. What did I get? You didn't get anything, Aaron. Adel got everything. Woo. What happened? You'll break your spine and you'll be like,

I think my spine hurts. I think my spine hurts now. Okay. You could. You could go see a spine doctor. You don't have to. I'm not making you go see a spine doctor. I would like to see a scene. Atal, you are someone who is about to get a very invasive spine surgery. JPC, you're the substitute doctor that showed up that day. And you're trying to inspire confidence in that all. I've never had a spinal tap before. So the needle goes into my, into my spine. It's going to go into the base of your spine, but it's going to feel very sharp, and I'm not going to lie. It's going to feel painful for a moment.

But when we give you the spinal tap, that's also how we're going to give you all of your pain killers for the procedure. So after that, you will not feel a thing. And Dr. Richards, there's no way to get him on call? No, I'm sorry. I thought it was explained to you. Dr. Richards was in a ski accident. Not a ski accident. It was on purpose.

he's doing his first threesome at a ski chalet. Oh. Yeah. It's not the kind of threesome he planned on, but he's crossing it off his bucket list. Okay. It's with his wife's best friend, Marv. And see, that's where I'm confused, because this all was told to me, but I guess I just don't understand that his wife,

I don't understand that people are still named Marv these days. The situation was he asked his wife for a threesome for his birthday. And his wife agreed to it, but she threw in the fact that it was going to be a threesome with her best friend. And so I'm confused because clearly the wife had been wanting to sleep with Marv and just roped him in at the first chance. Oh, and so that's where I'm confused. So no, that's not my understanding of the situation. Oh, okay, okay. My read on the situation is that she did not want her husband to have an excuse to sleep with another woman.

So in order to acquiesce to his birthday request, she brought in her friend Marv. kind of as a way to make her husband feel uncomfortable. But Dr. Richards is big on this bucket list, as you know, as he's probably told you many times before. He used to have it laminated in the office, yeah. But you're in great hands. This is one of the best spinal surgery centers in the western United States. And I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I am an excellent spinal surgeon and a clown. Oh, okay.

That explains the shoes and the makeup and the... Dr. Wiggles, I have the OR prepped for surgery. Oh, Dr. Wiggles is in 102. Oh, fantastic. Oh, so sorry. I'm sorry. It happens all the time. It's because we have the same hair.

Right. Big curly red hair. Yeah, wasn't he, you weren't supposed to do this surgery, though, today. Wait a second. You're Rick Astley? Oh, my God. They got me. You're not Rick Astley.

This is, I got pranked. Wow. Ah, we got you. So wait. Wait, who got brinked? Me? All right. Because you pulled a hundred linked silts out of my mouth.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5. He's done. He's dead dead. He's dead dead. He's dead dead. Scramble four, I'm something to fear. Scramble one more. And I'm the ground near.

With my six, I sustain you, dear. These are hard. Huh? Yeah, I feel like I need a little sketch... I feel like I need a dry racerboard for these. Scramble four, I'm something to fear. Scrambled one more, and I'm the ground near. With my six, I sustain you, dear.

Yeah, I don't know. With these numbers, I don't know how they intersect with the words here. Is it something we consume? Scrambled four. Are these like diner terms? It's a four-letter word, a five-letter word, and a six-letter word. Oh, okay, I see, I see. We need a name for one of these riddles.

Like, we should name these riddles where you add letters. This type? Yeah. Yeah, Scramble makes you think egg, so I really wanted you guys to say egg again, so that you could say egg for every one of these riddles. Yeah, so scrambled four, I'm something to fear. Scrambled one more, I'm the ground deer. With my six, I sustain you, dear.

Egg is the first one, though. No, egg is not the first one. The scramble is kind of a red herring there. Oh, a red herring. The easiest one to get is the end of it. With my six, I sustain you, dear. Sixth of a word for something that sustains you? Dinner.

Air, oxygen. Breath. Breath. Breath. Oh, bear would be four. Is that right? Yes, I believe so. Okay, and then

add a letter. It's either T or an H, the ground. It doesn't matter. You don't need to get the middle one because the answers in the back of this book, I think bear is correct, but the answers in the back of the book only say breath. So they do not provide the answer for the first two.

What? Insane. What do you think the answer to the first one is, though? I think it's bare. Scramble for him something to feed. Oh, okay. And then the middle one, your guess is as good as mine, because we have B-E-A-R, and then there's a T and an H that go into there. So, well, so maybe Bear is not wrong.

H-E-A-R-T would be, scramble one more, I'm the ground near, but no, that's hard. I wouldn't be. Harth? Harth. Rth would be like a fireplace, right? I'm the ground near. I don't know. I don't know.

Well, comment below, wherever that is. The best part about it is we don't need to know. Yeah. We could just move the fuck on. All right. I'm ready. Yeah. Here's your riddle.

I'm six letters and my whole, W-H-O-L-E is creation. I'm six letters and my whole is creation. My three, four, and five family we be. But add six in a ruler, I see. Four and five are never out, while my one, two, four, and five. are what it's all about Adel. Do you want to go, I don't know, grab a drink or play some

mini golf? Well, one or five are always the least, but one, two, and five, took a giant leap. Queen. This, I don't believe Queen is correct. This book does have hints, though.

I'm ready for the hints. Prince. Let's see. Now, Aaron, I know you're ready for the hint. The hint might not be helpful. I've been looking at the hints for the last two riddles that we did, and they were not really helpful. But let's try it. Let's try a hint and see if it's helpful.

Your hint for this one. Okay. Okay. So this is fun because this is a book, but all of the hints in the book, like, point to other pages in the book to be like, your hint is on this page. Like, so one of the words that you would need to unlock this is, like, printed on a page of this book. So it's not really a great hint for, like, me who's just reading the riddle to you

it's more of a hint if you're wow you know what I never thought about somebody buying one of these books and sitting like cracking it open and like doing it themselves like it's like a workbook but that seems like the way that this is written

of course oh yeah I have some of those I've done you think there are people that like just sit there and read through riddle books yeah that's what I did when I was a kid you read through like riddle and joke books you try to solve them you try to solve them

I, whenever I had, like, a riddle book or a joke book, well, joke book specifically, but a riddle book, it was always me opening it up and, like, doing the riddles for, like, a group of people. Okay, someone's ragging about having friends growing up. Adel, do you want to go get a drink or play some mini golf or something? My demands were met. I feel like, well, I don't know. I grew up in an era of video games, so I don't know why I would have ever, like, sat with a riddle book and, like, done that by myself. Like when I could be like, oh, I could just play like age of empires too right now.

There's no reason for me to play like, play riddles with myself. I'm six letters in my whole is creation. Creation. God. My whole is creation. Earth. Space. No.

Big bang. It's not Big bang and it's not. Big bang. Okay. One of the things that this book says is maybe. Maybe this is the hint that I can provide you. It says, but one, two, and five took a giant leap. So I will give you one, two, and five.

Perfect. One, two, and five took a giant leap. I think you guys can actually get this one. What takes a giant leap? Where have you heard that phrase before? Moon, space landing. That's one small step for mankind. Man.

So you got one, two, and five are man. Man. So, MA, blank, blank in blank. God damn, I have to write this down. Sorry, can you repeat that? M.A. Blank, blank, in blank. And now I'll give you this line.

My one, two, four, and five are what it's all about. Two. Love. M.A. Name? Aaron, I want to see a seed. We're going to be doing his spelling me. you're going to get words

Adelaide are going to be the judges that they're going to keep giving you words and you're going to keep spelling them absolutely incorrectly you're going to spell different words that we say correctly but not the word that we say your next word is pancreatic

thank you you're welcome could I have a definition please having to do with the pancreas a language of words Latin. And can I hear it in a sentence?

Your word is pancreatic. Thank you. J-E-N-N-N-N-I-F-E-R, space, L-O-P-E-Z. Pancreatic. Jennifer Lopez, that is correct. I'm feeling nervous. Should we get the, before the next contestant, should we get the microphone checked? Because what did I?

I heard her spelled Jennifer Lovenose. Rick, what did you hear? Pancreatic, right? I guess so. I guess people would be making a bigger deal if she just came up there and spelled Jennifer Loveness. Yeah, no one, the audience seems to be pretty mild. Okay. Okay.

Is the peyote wearing off? I should be worn off, right? It must be. It must be. We did it. We did it 45 minutes ago. It must be almost. We haven't said anything into the mic in 30 minutes.

Can I have my word? They're noticing. Are you the same child or a different child? I'm a different child. I'd like my word, please. Could you prove it? It looks over the other child. Tell us something you'll be a different child would know.

Yeah. I don't know how to spell the word they just spelled. Does that help? Yeah, that checks out. Yeah, that makes sense. I'm ready for my new word, please. Your word is umbrella Don't make up words

Wait, now you are, you were supposed to say, umbrella. That's correct. Oh, oh, no. Oh, no. Okay. Oh, no. All right, everybody thinks it's so funny to give the vice principals peyote before they have something really important to do.

Wait, what? Well, peyote is your word. It's a Wednesday. Paiote Wednesdays. Paiote? That's a thing. Taco Tuesdays, peyote Wednesdays. All right, peyote.

Language of origin, please. Desert. Jennifer Lopez. We did a desert. Okay. K, wrong. Eh, eh. I haven't done it.

So, many. What's all about. M.A. Blank N. You're looking for, it's a vowel, I'll say. Manna. Maine. Maine. It's the main, yeah, the main thing. What it's all about.
