Starting point is 00:01:57 How many results just said tricks? You're like, did you mean to say tricks for kids? I said, yeah, I was googling cereals, and I came up with these riddles instead. I don't say. Okay, so here we go. What has a face and two hands, but no arms or legs? I'm unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:02:14 That is a clock. Is that the right answer? Yeah, it is a clock and the kid is a clock. Are we shut down the answer? These are warm-up riddles, pussies. Okay, a little harder. What five letter word become shorter when you add two letters to it? Money.
Starting point is 00:02:34 What a bad answer. That question. If you add NO in front of it. Oh, yeah, that doesn't make any sense. No money. What five letter word become shorter when you add two letters to it? I know. I haven't even begun to think about it.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Martin short. Short. Yeah. The word is short. We got four and we got two letters. What word begins and... Wait, and these are for kids? Yeah, these are for kids.
Starting point is 00:02:59 These feel equally hard as adult riddles. Well, I really am glad that you said that out loud. LAUGHTER OK, ready? This is equally hard as adult riddles. Well, I really am glad that you said that out loud. OK, ready? This is equally hard, I think. What word begins and ends with an E, but only has one letter? I know this one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:18 OK, hold on. OK, well, so we're holding on. It's fun when I'm the only one who doesn't know it. I did this on Off-siz embosses, another podcast I do. You did this riddle? Yes, I did this riddle. But I posed it and somebody got it, Zach Reno got it right. He said envelope or envelope.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And then Matt Young said I, which is also right. E-Y-E, but also it could just be one letter to letter I. Oh, okay, yeah. So it has multiple answers, possibly. I mean, I can see that. Involved. You can see that? Involved. Thank you, very good.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Are you proud of me for getting that one ever? I am really proud of you. You got that immediately and you like, you really threw it at it. This one is one of my favorites in terms of one of my favorite stories on any of these. Great. This is actually my dad's favorite riddle. This is the last riddle he told me before he left.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Ha, ha, ha, ha. Three men were in a boat. It capsized, but only two got their hair wet. Why? One was bald. One was bald. Yeah, one guy was bald. That's legit the answer to this warm-up riddle.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I was gonna say one guy died. Somebody dies, you're not gonna check their hair. Yeah, the riddle is that we checked to see if their hair was wet. It was really nice of those two guys to be friends with that bald guy. That was really nice of them. What is so delicate that saying its name breaks it? What is so delicate that saying its name breaks it? Hyman What am I least favorite words? Human say this website is for Reddles for kids.

Yeah, the kids eat a dance. Okay, so that was, those were your warm-up riddles. Now, the theme of the warm-up riddles was riddles for kids,
Starting point is 00:05:54 but we're actually moving from the kids' riddles to some very adult-themed, actual riddles. I thought you were gonna say teen riddles, and I got very excited. Oh, well, I totally should have found some teen riddles. I thought you're gonna say teen riddles and I got very excited. Oh well. Oh, well of angst. I should I totally should have found some teen riddles. That would have been a very perfect segue. But here's a here's a teen riddle. Are you happy mom? Honestly, you've been doing this so much that I thought when you said here's a teen riddle you're gonna do a Tom riddle bit because he was like a teen when he was at Hogwarts.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Oh yeah. You have real missed opportunity. Real missed. RealMO. Okay, but the theme for today's riddles is going to be murder. Yes, that's right, I'm going to be giving you some murder story riddles.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Now, I don't actually know the answers to these riddles either Now, I don't actually know the answers to these riddles either, so I can participate. But there is one that I like did kind of figure out the answer to, so I'll do that one first. Is that how all riddles go? For sure. I'm gonna be, if the theme is murder,
Starting point is 00:07:01 I'm gonna be upset if one of the answers to this isn't crow or crows. Okay, well I don't know the answers. So, is you telling us the theme gonna give away some of the answers, do you think? No, because murder, these are story problems and a lot of them will say the word murder or like killed or like man was killed. Okay, so you don't know the answers, but just based on the the front half of the riddle. It can, it includes... When you say the front half of the riddle, you beat any of the... You know how riddles are hot, ass?
Starting point is 00:07:29 The front half of the back half? The hot half of the riddle. Yeah, so the front half of the riddle is the part that other people just call the riddle. The back half is the work, right? Okay. I hate this. I really do, really is very different being in your shoes
Starting point is 00:07:48 here, Adel. Okay, so here we go. How's it feel to be Old Man riddles? Puzzles. Old man puzzles and he sells riddies and puzzles. A man is found murdered on a Sunday morning. Call the police. Well, hold on. The next Sunday morning? The next slide. His wife calls the police. So you're already there. You're already doing the first half of this rental. Who questioned the wife and the staff? There's a staff apparently. And are given the following alibis.
Starting point is 00:08:14 The wife says she was sleeping. The butler was cleaning the closet. The gardener was picking vegetables. The maid was getting the mail. And the cook was preparing breakfast. Immediately the police arrest the murderer. Who did it and how did the police know? Could you do it again? I could have just said just doing my job.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Well all of them technically said was squawk it's a living! They were about like picking vegetables. The master of our English. Oh I should have put this as a flinstone. Oh, please. Yeah. Oh, oh, OK, we read it again. I think I know it.
Starting point is 00:08:50 No, then it'll give it away. OK. We read it again. So, I know it. So, a man has found murder on a Sunday morning. Just read what everyone was doing. His wife calls the police, who questioned the wife and the staff and are given the following alivized.
Starting point is 00:09:03 The wife says she was sleeping. the butler was cleaning the closet the gardener was picking vegetables the maid was getting the mail and the cook was preparing breakfast I know it do you know it no the cook did it because on a Sunday morning you would prepare brunch yes that's true so it would it says breakfast here but we can assume that there was lunch options as well. Go good. So let's say, let's call it brunch. That's probably a mispreth.
Starting point is 00:09:32 The maid was getting the mail. How was mail spelled? M-A-L-E. So she had been getting the mail. And then it's got her revenge. And then it's her as she says killing the mail. It was the maid. Well there you go.
Starting point is 00:09:44 It was the maid. It was the maid. Adel, what do you think? So the maid was getting the mail. It was the maid. Well, there you go. It was the maid. Adel, what do you think? So the maid was getting the mail. It's a mail. There's no mail on Sunday. Correct, Adel. You've got to be on the mail. You've got there. That, I didn't even look up the answer to this, Reddle,
Starting point is 00:09:55 but I believe that's correct, correct, right? I can. Let's look up the answer. There is no mail on Sundays. I think it would have been more obvious if it wasn't the maid up the answer. There is no male on Sundays. I think it would have been more obvious if it wasn't the maid getting the male, because that seems a little shoe horned of a job. I wish the wife was getting the meat.
Starting point is 00:10:12 OK, so this brings the rating to the maid. What if this brings me in one of my, hold on, now this brings me to an interesting segment that I was going to introduce. And that is pick apart this riddle. This segment we will pick apart why we think that this riddle was a this riddle. This segment we will pick apart why we think that this riddle was a bad riddle. Now Aaron brings up an interesting point.
Starting point is 00:10:31 The wife should have been getting the mail. Yeah, like what I just think that that's not an obvious thing for a maid to be doing. And that it was the immediate red flag for me. It would have taken me like a one minute longer maybe if she wasn't getting the mail. Do you think maybe we should also change what the gardener was doing? Yeah, to make it less obvious. Because the gardener was picking vegetables, which seems pretty one to one for a gardener. But if the maid is getting the mail, maybe the gardener should be like cutting some spaghetti or something like that.
Starting point is 00:10:58 That seems like to the least obvious. If I want to play this interesting game pick apart, I think the maid might be innocent because one, depending on what the maid had to do the day before, maybe she didn't get to the mail. And two, doesn't FedEx and UPS deliver on Sunday? That's right. The Amazon Prime. So it says immediately the police arrest the murderer.
Starting point is 00:11:20 So the police immediately arrest the maid without really verifying if she had not gotten the mail Like if she had to get if she got Friday's mail or something she got immediately arrested for that Where's the due process? Why do you think she killed him? Okay, it says the man is gonna figure this out and a little bit of role play so JPC Let's have you play the maid and Aaron want you be the police officer Mm-hmm. Oh you be the police officer. I'll also be another police officer because you can never have too many of those. Oh, you good copper bad cop.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I'm going to be the fun cop. I'll be funner cop, I guess. I'll be I'll be bad cop. And I am playing the maid, but just so everyone knows it's a missed outfire situation where I'm trying to win back the infection of my ex-wife. But I also did kill her new husband, Pierce Brosnan. Great, I'm gonna pooch you a bit by having the cop sound exactly like this is that fire. Oh no!
Starting point is 00:12:17 Oh hello! Good Sunday morning to you! Good Sunday morning to you! We're so sorry to you, Mother Mordor! I'm so happy to be here with you! We're so sorry to you for the murder! I'm sorry? There was a murder! I know! I'm apologizing!
Starting point is 00:12:31 So, what were you doing this Sunday morning? Well, me! I was kidding the mail! Oh! God knows, I was doing something with the vegetables! Yes, and the murder was that the cause of death was a drive-by fruiting! Are fruits vegetables to you? Tomatoes?
Starting point is 00:12:54 So you think tomatoes are both vegetables and fruit? I'm a cop, not a fruits scientist. And we're all women right? Well I'm wearing a pie. I put my face in a pie but yes I'm a woman. I'm a man dressed as a woman. Do I get a brush in the woman? You did it, you killed a person.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Because the man is only good and no. And I don't have 70s. Squawk, it's a living and seed. I feel like that's our strongest one yet. 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, that a little bit. That's not what made sound like. I love that premise. Also Mrs. Dalfire wasn't a mage. She was a nanny. Oh yeah, what's the difference? Mage to the bell. Must be nice to come from wealth, JPC. Manny's pick vegetables.
Starting point is 00:13:59 You might know them as opairs. Okay, this one I have no idea. Johnny Milliner. Oh no. Okay, All right, you guys ready? That's we've been ready. That's incorrect. I do know the answer to this one as well. Wait, the mate is incorrect. The mate is incorrect. I yeah, I looked at it up at his the gardener and it said that he was it was a drive by fruiting. Oh yeah, that's great. Okay, so a murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires. The second assassins with loaded guns. And the third, Lyon, who have eaten in years. Which room is safest?
Starting point is 00:14:34 Lyon. So the first one had raging in some machines in it? Yeah, it had raging in the machines. You don't want to go in that one, because they're so politically loaded that... Well, also... Exactly. ...Aloroka, what? Yeah, the lights are out in that room.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Gorilla radio. Gorilla radio. So they're... So they're raging fires. Are the assassins real naggy, too? They have like a bad attitude, too. It says loaded guns and bad attitudes. I know this one.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I know the answer to this one. Yeah, JPCD know it. I didn't know the answer to this one. Yeah, this was another one that ID. you know what? I didn't know the answer to this one. Yeah. This was another one that I read and I was like, oh, this would be a good warm-up rental. It's the mate. It's the mate. Yeah, so the... If a lion has an eaten in ears, it would be dead. It did.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Yeah, it'd be a dead lion. Oh, a lion dead. But also, this murderer is condemned to death. So he has to die. So I think a worse way to die would be in a room full of dead lions. Worse than the fire is definitely the worst. Yeah, but if, well.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Wait, can you read the first room how it's raised? The first is full of raging fires. Okay. What's going on that it's raging fire? Well, I don't know, but the fires would go out in a room and then you might die of smoke inhalation, which wouldn't be so bad. Oh, you don't know that? No, it's euphoric.
Starting point is 00:15:53 It feels like you're... What are you also being burned? Oh, no, it's great. All of my uncles died of smoke. Oh my God, I'm so sorry. And they called me as they were dying to say, this is not so bad. Well, they called me as they were dying to say this is not so bad. Well, they called me after they were dead. They, I can speak to my uncles in the afterlife.
Starting point is 00:16:09 This is a commercial for Luigi Boards? Yes, this is a commercial for assassins with loaded guns, though. Short and sweet. I would rather have an assassin kill me with a loaded gun than have to eat a dead live and die of starvation eventually anyway. I feel like you know that the second room you know is going to kill because they had to take the time
Starting point is 00:16:27 to add loaded guns. Yeah. Because some asshole, they're like, I'm sure the brittle started off with like, assassins with guns. And they're like the second room. Because it just said guns, it didn't say loaded guns. You think this is the second draft of this riddle?
Starting point is 00:16:40 Yeah. Oh, it went through a vigorous QA process. Somebody read it to their son. It's a son. The it to their son the first Yeah, the first time the son was like no, no, no If fires go out and so they had to be like find their raging what the fuck do you know Kevin? You little shit. I'm just saying fires can go out like remember when we went camping and the fire went out That was your dad because you're not you're not enough of a man to keep it going
Starting point is 00:17:03 Boy All right. You guys ready for this next one? Yes. How did these lines start? Well, they haven't eaten in years. They didn't do anything. A hunger strike. It was a protest.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I'm confused as to why you need so many assassins. They're not very good at their job if you have to put a bunch of them in a room to kill one person. Is that an assassin? Like a firing squad them in a room to kill one person. Yeah, is that an assassin? Like a firing squad is just like people lined up with guns, but are all of those people assassins? Why can't you just say like people with guns that will kill you? Yeah, we're under utilizing these assassins.
Starting point is 00:17:35 Yeah, these assassins. For what I know from movies, assassins are to hire a hitman, to hire an assassin. Assassins are to hire an assassin. You're talking six figures. You're talking six figures to hire an assassin. Oh, I'm sorry. Now, if you hire an assassin and say, wait in this room, someone's gonna walk into the room knowing they're gonna die
Starting point is 00:17:51 and you shoot them, you're not getting enough bang for your buck. Well, so does the only assassin get paid, the assassin that gets the kill? Cause that's kind of how an assassin works, right? And also they may not pick that room. If I am. Yeah, those assassins are screwed if they don't pick that room. Are they on retainer?
Starting point is 00:18:08 Are they going to starve to death? I mean, how long have they? It's only a matter of time before someone's, you know, gets an option where you can go into three rooms. There's one room with a bunch of deadlines and a man who starved. There's another room with what used to be fires, but they've gone out.
Starting point is 00:18:23 And then we have another room with a bunch of dead assassins who all start. Okay, cool. A man murders his wife with a knife in their car. Nobody is around to see this. He throws her out of the car, being careful not to leave any fingerprints on her body. Next, he throws the knife off of a cliff into a gorge where it will never be found and he goes home. An hour later, the police call him and tell him that his wife has been murdered. And he needs to come to the scene of the crime immediately. As soon as he arrives, he's arrested. How do they know he did it? This is easy. I think I know this one. Are these still riddles for kids?
Starting point is 00:19:01 Yeah, these are like the three easiest of these riddles. How many more are there? Oh, there's a bunch. Okay. Do you want to take this air? How did he know where the seat of the cry was? This is it's a very good impression. Are you happy? I took that one out. That's a very good impression of your character deduction, which I'm very good at press. I love your character deduction, which? British deduction, which? Okay, so, yes, that's correct. The police got him with a classic. Please return to the scene of the crime.
Starting point is 00:19:32 And this man being a complete fucking idiot, just drove back to where he had been. And then they said, murder, I said, what? Yes. What? Got you. Got you. That's your take.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I wonder if the police would show up. The police are so insensitive that they would be like, your spouse died, meet us at the scene of the crime, and then leave, and then wait for it. Like, wouldn't they be like, let's come with us, right? And escort him to the scene of the crime? Maybe they suspected him.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And one detective was like, guys, this will work, please. Oh, it also says he showed up covered in blood. It doesn't take you to the close. Oh, there you go. That's what it is. But is it like if I'm remembering the movie Signs properly, which I always do?
Starting point is 00:20:17 It's the aliens or a friend of water. When Mel Gibson's wife is pinned to that tree by that car, a swing away. Jerry Jones is the police officer drives him there to the scene. Like the cops wouldn't just leave and be like, meet us there. So why did the aliens invade a planet that's 70% water when they're
Starting point is 00:20:38 deathly allergic to water? For the sake of the movie. Yeah, well, if they shaman lots of fucking idiot. My mom loves signs. Really? I like signs, right? And I also like the village. I don't get me started in the village. I love the village. They just marketed it wrong. Yeah, they should have marketed it as a horror movie. Is your mama Mark Walberg fan? Well, uh, or is everyone in Boston and Mark Walberg fan? They grew up in the same neighborhood. Did they really? Yeah. Are they similar age? No, my mom's older, I think. But...
Starting point is 00:21:06 Can we hear an impression of what your mom sounds like when she talks about Mark Walbert? Yes, sure. Oh my God. They have those Walbert brothers. They open those two restaurants and want to so fancy. And one's that burger place where they use that government cheese. But I'm telling you, Aaron, it's not so bad. Oh, boy. Standing. OK, so now we're getting to some riddles that I do not know. I don't know the answer to. Can we replace the word murder with something else just
Starting point is 00:21:33 to kind of add some levity? Because I'm getting it. Oh, sure. I don't know. Oh, yeah, the word. Can you just say loved? The word murdered is in this one. I am going to replace it with
Starting point is 00:21:46 fucked okay so it's only in their once and I think it'll make a woman fuck her husband a girl was attending her mother's funeral where she met a man who knows where she met a man she was very intrigued by the man and she was interested in getting to know him as As she was making her rounds, she realized she had not gotten the man's name or number. Later, when she went to find him, he had already left. A week later, she fucked her older brother to find the man. Hold on, let me get that clear. A week later, she fucked her older brother to find the man.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Why? Boy, how do we start to impact this? Isn't this the psychopath test? I'm sorry. Like, I've heard this word in a different way. Like, that's how you can tell if someone's a psychopath. If they fucked their brother. If they go, like, so your, if your mom died
Starting point is 00:22:43 and you meet someone at her funeral, and then you don't get their number or their name and you, you want to find another way to find them. How do you find them? And some of the psychopaths, they go, oh, kill my dad, hoping that they will show up. Hoping that they know the same people. So you're a psychopath. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:58 So you, Aaron, to unpack this a little further, you don't like riddles, but you do like psychopath-desk. I do. So I think of all riddles were phrased to you in terms of it being a psychopath-desk. You would probably enjoy it much more. I think you're 100%. She's got some John Ronson books and check that out. I always want their answer again. So I think the answer is she killed her brother to have another funeral hoping the guy would show up again. That's the answer, right? Yeah. Can we see Aaron as the, let's set this at the mom's funeral. Let's have Aaron be the daughter at her own mom's funeral. And JPC, this will be a bit of a stretch, but you can play the interesting man.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Okay. Well, I burn accepted. Are you ready? Yes. Wow, sir. I love your monical and top hat. Thank you. I got it monical and top hat. Thank you. I got it from a peanut.
Starting point is 00:23:48 Wow. Sad day. It's still a joke. I'm sorry. It's a sad day. I know and I said I'm sorry. It is a sad day. Wow. Stephanie was quite a woman.
Starting point is 00:23:59 My mother. My name's also Stephanie. You look like a Susie. You look like a Kevin.. You look like a Kevin. Well, one man's Kevin is another man of Susie. Stephanie, start it. Bearing your mom and your back when I get Christmas morning. Uh, like you've been there before, huh?
Starting point is 00:24:22 Stephanie, this must be your dickhead brother. On Chantay. I'm sorry, it'll speak French, shitbird. Uh, oh, I've got you been there before, huh? Stephanie, this must be your dickhead brother, huh? On Shantay. I'm sorry, it'll speak French, shitbird. I said my name is Shantay. I'm Shantay. Shantay, Kevin. You look like a Kevin. Thank you. You look like a little piece of shit, shitbird.
Starting point is 00:24:40 It's so funny that you say that because I call him shitbird. When you wait here for just one moment, I have to go do a thing. Oh, you don't need to wait what? I have to go do it. But you wink at me. I Winked it the wrong thing. She was the wake was met for me, Shantay You know what Shantay? Let's talk about this in a week, huh? Sounds good. Nice to meet you Nice to meet you. Squark, it's a lot! I'm not saying. Shippard is so funny.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Shippard is a good next to you. Shippard is what McNulty calls people on the wire. Really? Yeah, Shippard. There's that movie about the Androids, the Shippard Wies. Shippard men?
Starting point is 00:25:22 Shippard Wies? We've only watched the first season of the wire. Should I keep going? Yes. Yeah, if only to hear McNulty call people shipper, it's a little more. Cool. Ice tea is the name of this one. Two girls ate dinner together. Wait, is this like a what's that show ice season? Long order. SBO. This is an SBO episode. Murdered is not in this one, so I'm just
Starting point is 00:25:47 going to work the word fucked in somewhere else. Two girls ate dinner together. Wow, surprised. You were strange yourself. Yep. They both ordered iced tea. One girl fucked them very fast. It had finished five.
Starting point is 00:26:04 In the time, it took the other to drink just one. The girl who drank one died while the other survived. All of the drinks were poisoned. How did the girl who drank the most survived? I think I know, but I wish I hope it's not the answer. So one girl chugged a ton of iced tea. The other one drank one glass. And the girl who drank one died. Is it possible she peed at the boys? I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I have to introduce a new segment to
Starting point is 00:26:32 Hey, Ritter-Rotel called Dead Stop. Dead stop is a segment where no matter what is happening, we take a dead stop to investigate something that erred. and yes, it only applies to Aaron. Just said, is it possible she peed out the poison? Is it possible she peed out the poison? You know when you drink poison, you peed out your fine because when you pee out poison, it doesn't go through your digestive tract. It just, you know, like if you're on the beach and you get stung by a jellyfish, if you just pee it out.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Just pee on your side. Just pee out the poison. Not because pee contains any neutralizing agents, but because you just pee it out. If you're ever... If you're ever... If you're ever... If I was a vice-tea-goat, right through you. That's true. If you're ever hit with a tranquilizer dart, like on accident, like they're hunting a bear and it hits you with a tranquilizer dart.
Starting point is 00:27:24 If you shit your pants immediately You shit that trink right out that is fact that is I think that that is correct What if I'm right gang huh? I refuse to live in a world I Told you I didn't want it to be the answer, but I think it's cuz she peed like it didn't have time to like Wear out the lining of her stomach. Okay. He did all out I it's a slow release poison, and she got flushed out. Is that how that works?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Doesn't it all go through you? When can you soak up the poison? If you peed it out, it would have been absorbed. Yeah, right? Right? Well, but sometimes your pee is a different color because you didn't drink enough water. My pee is bright orange right now. Right now.
Starting point is 00:28:07 Right now. You're consistently a deep red. That's not good. This is an overshare, but I'm fine. I have a UTI right now. Oh. Oh, thanks. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:28:19 That means a university, correct? Yes, it does. I go to the UTI. That's my favorite riddle is a man walks up to a woman and says UTI and she goes, no, I'm two chains. Oh my God. Oh my God. Is that a riddle for kids? That's a riddle for kids. I saw that one. The medicine makes your pee orange. All the women in the world will know that. But I always forget and then I pee and I think I have to go to the emergency room. So, did you take the medicine once a day? Yeah. If you took the medicine super fast, just drink five feet.
Starting point is 00:28:48 I wouldn't die. I wouldn't die. Again, this is the podcast, Pistach. Yeah, this is Pistach. I have two answers, but they're both unsatisfactory. One would be the first woman who drank all the iced tea is like 1200 pounds. So it does say that one woman is very fat.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Okay. No. It doesn't say anything about that. So that's the idea of like when Andre is giant drinks beer, like he could drink a case of beer, not get drunk. Well no. The bigger you are the less likely. Because he's dead, so he can't drink anything.
Starting point is 00:29:20 That's right, that's right. That's my riddle. The other answer would be like a Princess Bride situation where the first woman poised in the second, but she built up a tolerance to Iocane powder, which is tasteless in other words. Taste, that's not her, let's see. What if it's a different kind of poison?
Starting point is 00:29:35 But she drinks five times as much iodine powder. Maybe it's a poison that the more you drink it, the more it's diluted. You know those poisons? Oh, yeah. Reverse poisons, bizarre o poisons. I forgot about that. One is, what if one is poison poison?
Starting point is 00:29:50 And is an alcohol sort of poison? Maybe one is alcohol. So they're long island ice teas. Yeah, for one girl. The other one has poison. This is a riddle that like a Christian church might use to like sway kids from drinking. And here's a little rap about marijuana.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I did get this riddle from ChristianRiddles.church. That was good. The toucher. Toucher. Yahoo, that church. While you guys were coming up with some porn.church. While you guys were coming up with some, and in my opinion, some very bad answers to this question
Starting point is 00:30:26 I think I landed on the right answer What is it but but I'll I'll read you the riddle one more time because that's I'm I Can read the riddle and I read it and that's why I think I got it But two girls ate dinner together. They both ordered iced tea one girl drank them very fast and had finished five and the time it took the other to drink just one. The girl who drank one died while the other survived. All of the drinks were poisoned. How do the girl who drank the most survived? I can give you a hint, but it will give it away.
Starting point is 00:30:59 You said we'd do it there food. That's an answer. What's that? Does that have something to do with their food? Well, how could it? Because I didn't read anything about their food? No, I know but no, but it has a lot to do with their drink That's my that's that's pretty good one of them was a raspberry ice tea one was with the straw I Might have I do
Starting point is 00:31:24 I'm gonna I'm gonna double check to make sure that I think, because I do think I have this right. You're out of ideas. Well. So it says that the, um, well, that sounded accusatory. Yeah. I'm just being aggro. I'll let you guys know the answer.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Tell, I want to know. You want to know the answer? Yeah. Yeah. The poison was in the ice. I thought that and then I thought but didn't they both have ice in their drink? Yes, but one person drank there so fast that the ice didn't have a chance to melt.
Starting point is 00:31:59 Oh, Aaron. Oh, Aaron. This brings me to a very important statement of the show Aaron is disappointed I said that was gonna be such a dumb answer Aaron can we roleplay this? Aaron be a disappointed or so Yeah, we'll roleplay this all right So Aaron and Adel you are both out to dinner Adel You are going to play a woman
Starting point is 00:32:25 because that's what the scenario requires. But if I hear a Mrs. Dowler voice, I'll be very disappointed. Great, yep, makes sense. And I'll play the waiter who's bringing you your IST's. OK, and an IST for you and an IST for you. Can I get you anything else? No, we're all set, thank you.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Great, thank you. Thank you so much. I'm sorry. Thank you so much. Thank you, Great. Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm sorry. Thank you so much. Can I ask you something? Yeah. That's like your six or seven iced tea. Can you slow it down a little bit? You're being a little, being a little drink piggy. I can't help it. I'm trying to pee out of UTI. Those things are basically just poison in your body. I got a pee, I got to pee it out. Can I tell you my favorite riddle? I just heard recently

Let's sit. You're right. I feel like when I drink iced tea It's so potent like the flavors so potent that I like to have it be a little watered down.

Starting point is 00:33:43 Interrupting someone by saying, I don't mean to interrupt. Doesn't excuse you from interrupting does that mean? Like if I punch you and said, don't mean to punch you. Well, I didn't punch you. I interrupted by saying, excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt. Slerp, slerp, slerp, slerp, slerp. Could I have another iced tea please when you get the chance? I'm not the waiter.

I am the manager of this hotel bar. I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself, but I did over here. You had a joke about TI and two chains. Exactly.

Then holds him under fucked water for five minutes. A little while later, they both go fucked out and joy a wonderful fucked dinner together. Can you restart? How can this be, fucked?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Can you read it again? So she shoots it? Yeah, sure. A woman shoots her husband, then holds him underwater for five minutes. A little while later, they both go out and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?

Starting point is 00:36:53 Was it? Sure. If you hold somebody under water, it doesn't mean that you're right. So yeah, then hold him under water. Now, I think that that means completely submerged. Like, not just legs Like you can't just hold some of his legs underwater So a woman shoots her husband

Starting point is 00:38:49 And their room is a martini glass. Jikuzi. They hold. OK, hold them under water. Hold them under water. I mean, they help them on their water. That could just mean that they're below a hand on water. What if they're in a submarine?

She shoots him with that stuff that you have to shoot people with so they don't get the bins when they come up from pressure. Yeah. And then holds him underwater for five minutes.

I was giving you the finger too. I think that's probably it.
Starting point is 00:39:35 A woman chitzer has been then a hold some underwater for five minutes a little by the way. So they're scuba diving, he gets the bends. That can't be the answer to this. Well, I got to know at this point. Okay, okay, okay. Let's see, the answer to this riddle is the poison was in the ice.
Starting point is 00:39:54 She shot her husband with a camera and then developed the photo. Oh. Fouled him underwater for five minutes. I knew it was a camera. I said that shooting a movie. You said shooting a movie. I said shooting, like shooting with a camera.

Starting point is 00:40:21 So the husband need to be more clear with what his pronouns were. Yes, exactly. And then if we had clarified that, then it would have been an easier riddle to solve. Honey, I developed a photo of you. Now let's go have a wonderful meal. What a good day it is to be us and me and you. Married life.
Starting point is 00:40:40 The door was a jar. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? Susie and Kevin. Susie and Kevin, hey, glad to see those kids made it.

And someone I know who is deeply intelligent and interesting, Mr. Tommy Marangies. Wow, normally when people say things like that, I'm like, could you say that into the mic? Yeah, so I did. I literally said it into the mic. Is Marangies?

Starting point is 00:42:24 It's sort of a jumanji situation out in the world. We're trying to put it back, but we haven't won it yet. I'm working on a new game that's based on the Void Comfort test from Blade Runner. Which I've demoed and it's fucking phenomenal. Good, so funny. I'm glad to hear that. Especially for everyone, but I think especially since I'm an improviser, it was a really fun, like, right in my wheelhouse of like,

So I'm glad you like found something in it because there are a lot more crutches than you needed. So yeah, people could learn more about that at robots.management.
Starting point is 00:43:04 And I, in another lifetime, had a character called Philosophy Row, where I did kind of what you guys are doing, but with riddles that we don't know the answers to. They're just riddles where everyone's like, oh, I actually don't know. To be clear, we don't know the answers to any of these riddles either. Even after discussing that. But, so Tommy, have you guys considered philosophy that is?
Starting point is 00:43:26 So thank you for coming in. So why don't you, we spoke out in the hallway. So I know the answer to the riddle you're about to pose. But why don't you pose to JPC and Aaron, the riddle that you have? Yeah. What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries? OK, so I know that this is sexual. Because you're good.'s better and wetter.
Starting point is 00:43:47 So that has to be the answer. Now I am fully invested in that track of making. What gets wetter and wetter the more it dries, dude, I know it. Loctin. Okay, JPC has been there. I do like I've heard this one before and now my brain is... I think maybe I've heard this before too because I locked into it pretty fast and Aaron I'll give you a hint. I was way off with the sex thing. Okay. Um, depends on where
Starting point is 00:44:11 your kinks are proclivities lie. Yeah, I do not want to sex shame anyone with my response to this riddle. So it's true. Okay, let me think. Oh, now I'm the only one who doesn't know. Okay. Let me think. Oh, now I'm the only one who doesn't know. Okay. Here, I'll give you maybe a hint. Yep. So I'm a Middle Eastern. What's something I might wear in my head?
Starting point is 00:44:31 Oh God. I'm gonna wear it. Oh, okay, so it's drying someone else. It's keeping someone dry. What is wetter and wetter the more? An umbrella. Puh. Puh. You know the Middle Eastern of the turn.
Starting point is 00:44:47 You'll then relih it. A towel. Just with these umbrella. I call from umbrella from space jam. It's a correct answer. A towel. I was going to say a big shaggy dog, so I was wrong. A towel makes way more sense.
Starting point is 00:45:00 It's a big dog. It's long dead with big shaggy. But also umbrella works too. Yeah. Well, yeah, I guess it is. Well, an umbrella doesn't make you additionally drive. It's easy to do.
Starting point is 00:45:09 You can, I can. It's a means of like a towel, I suppose. I don't want to sex shame anybody, but an umbrella dries me. What the fuck? You know when you get out of the shower and all your towels are dirty and you grab an umbrella? Tommy, so this, you told me this is maybe the first.
Starting point is 00:45:24 If we were to trace it back to its source, this is maybe the first, if we were to trace it back to its source, this is maybe the first riddle you ever heard. This is like the earliest riddle I have a memory of where I read it and I was like, I was like eight and it was sort of a herbinger of like the way I would be as an adult to. I read it and I was like, what do you mean it gets wetter as it, that doesn't, they're the opposites, if it's heading in what, it can't also, what the fuck is going on here? And then I read the answer, I was like,
Starting point is 00:45:49 oh shit, is the world just a lot of this? It's a lot of double meaning I will pick up on. That's how I feel about all riddles, even now still. I love picturing eight year old Tommy, like with a bookmark in Infinite Gest, being like, this riddle. Like, you know what I mean? The habit, right? Like all of those riddles are like, yeah, buch, this riddle. I guess, you know, well, I mean, the habit, right? Like all of those riddles are like, yeah, all right,
Starting point is 00:46:07 an egg, fine treasure, it's gold, it's a metaphor. But this was the first riddle that was explicitly like, what made it a riddle was the contradiction. And you're like, god, yeah. The immediate frustration is a child to be like, this, this not a thing. Yeah, and it wasn't much longer before I recognized, like that's a me problem and not an everyone else problem.
Starting point is 00:46:27 Yeah, I mean, it's, but it's also like, not universal. I mean, it's not exclusive to you. Like that's the whole point of that riddle is to be like frustrated by how easy the answer is and like, the contradiction is. And Tommy, you had another one, right? This is another influential riddle in your life?
Starting point is 00:46:46 This was when you were like, can you think of a riddle? And there were actually several. I went to like look it up with some searching. And there were lots about the subject. That's all I'll say. I mean, can't be incredibly influential if you had to fucking look it up. It sounds like you said incredibly influential.
Starting point is 00:47:04 You said, can you think of a red all? To be fair, I just said, do you have a red all for me? He said so. I shoehorned in influential. Right. I said maybe 20%. I wanted to say that. I could think of.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And you're like, perfect. I wanted to give some gravitas to it. Let's do it. You're vetting processes all over the place. OK, so the other one is, until I'm measured, I'm not known, but you always notice when I have flown. Until I'm measured, I am not known, but you always notice when I have flown. When I have flown.
Starting point is 00:47:39 And you know this one, Edel? You know the answer? I actually didn't, wait, yes, I didn't know this one. I actually didn't, oh wait, no, I'm very smart, I'm smart. I'm just surprised once he said, oh my god, there's two addels here until I measured on that. I'm not. I'm not. I'm a natural mimic. I just have to hear some dumb asshole squawking. It's just, it's at least a little bit of it. It's been a good year for you. Again, this is dumbass whole squawking.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Email us a dumbass whole squawking and hotmail us. C-A. No better way to describe adult than squawking. Measured not known until I measure. Until I measure. I'm not known. But you always notice when I have flown. It's the length of your penis. That's what I was going to say. Immediately read you always notice when I have flown it's the length of your penis
Starting point is 00:48:29 But that's what I was gonna say immediately read the gate. I was gonna say the length of my penis How pedestrian Boy This is this is difficult so flown makes me think it has to be some sort of bird That's that's the only thing that flies. I think it's a good, a good, a great deal. Oh, wait, so can you say it one more time? Until I'm measured, I'm not known, but you always notice when I have flown. Okay, so my thought is that it's an arrow of some sort, but that doesn't quite... How many types of arrows do you know of've done many of your movies have you seen play D&D? I know plenty of types of arrows
Starting point is 00:49:10 I played dealing with you and I'm an archer. I know one You don't know what I know all of yours. Can I buy some pointy arrows cold steel Adam and T.M Okay, the word flown that's bothering me. Oh sure. Can we get a different word? That was air doesn't agree with so besides birds what flies airplanes Time, damn it. Yeah, time. Yeah, it's time. It's always time It all it all flies when you're having time or death or whatever. It's always this fucking riddles are bullshit It is death, but not a construct of time. Yeah, that's true It's always this fucking riddles are bullshit. What is death but not a construct of time?
Starting point is 00:49:44 Yeah, that's true. And also a thing that happens. Shouldn't death, when death is portrayed in movies, shouldn't it just be like a cloak with like a clock for a face? Wouldn't that be ominous? He usually has an hourglass with him. Well, and in addition to his sight. Well, yeah, but who doesn't?
Starting point is 00:49:59 You're the man in that picture. That feels like a riddle from the habit. Is that not in the habit, that time riddle? Is the answer to one of those habit riddles time? I think so. Okay. And it is not that one. It's not that one, but there is like a time riddle in there.
Starting point is 00:50:16 About wearing down a mountain and turning out as to sand. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which is that's what I said in an album. I was like, you know a riddle.
