Which Riddle Riddle?

This is a HeadGum Podcast.

Okay, so the two of you are filing a home insurance claim because, and I'm reading this now, a disaster befell your podcast.

Yes, a disaster befell our podcast.

Yes, yes. We had, I don't know how to phrase this, a third host? Erin, is that what you would say, a third host?

Um, a demon that was also here? I don't know, is there like multiple choices on the paperwork?

A Tasmanian devil type?

Like if Captain Hook was meaner?

A living being. A human.

Not a human. Human. Not a human. Human. Human-esque.

Uncanny Valley. You know like Tom Hanks in, um, what's the movie?

Castaway?

Castaway, yeah.

Wrong with the beard? Yeah, you're like, this isn't Hanks. Yeah, this isn't Hanks. This is not my Hanks.

Polar Express also, just sort of that like... I was like, please don't say Philadelphia.

Please don't say Philadelphia. Please don't say Philadelphia because then I'd have to report you.

No, we're reporting a disaster that befell our podcast.

Yes, getting back to it. So on my form, since it is a home insurance claim, if it was a person who was injured, I have to mark that down. If it was property, I have to mark that down. But those are the two boxes that I have to check.

Gotcha, gotcha. You know how a lot of insurance, I think there's a claim to do like act of God. This is like act of the Antichrist, this third host.

Yeah, you know how like God makes tornadoes? The devil made whatever this is.

Okay, great. Well, we can put – an act of God is kind of a metaphor, it's like a catch-all, you know, because it's like we're not – the insurance industry is not claiming that there is a God, you know, but the idea that there are certain acts that could be attributable to God – Because if you were claiming there's a God, then isn't everything an act of God?

Big crash of thunder at my end here.

Wow. Okay, so we're just kidding about that God. We're sorry.

Is it still going on, I guess? Because you said an act of God befell. Is it still continuing?

Well, no, I feel like you'll understand because insurance definitely believes in the devil, right? Because that's who you serve.

Yes, yes, correct. That's why State Farm's colors are red. Well, like, you know, my boss's name is Terry. You know, his boss's boss's boss's boss's boss. That's the devil. But I don't know. I mean, if you're, yeah, if you're upset, I can't get to the devil. I have no way to give access.

Terry, Tory, purgatory, hell.

Kevin Bacon, devil.

Yeah, I think you have to put Kevin Bacon in there. So you have to say, Terry, Terry no further, invisible man. Man, I love a cigarette. Cigarettes are bad, bad the devil.

We're seeking $100,000 for the damages that befell our beloved podcast, Hey Riddle Riddle.

Yes.

Um, and so whatever we have to fill out on the paperwork to receive the damages.

Oh, why didn't you just say that? If all you want is whatever you have to do to get the money, then we could just, you know, tear up all of these documents we've been working on. Great. You just cut me in on, let's just say, uh, 1% of that? No, more. Yeah, 1%.

I'll give you all of JPC's, I'll give you all of JPC's tanks.

Okay, what are we talking, Abrams? What are we talking? And just one more take. Pull one more take, JPC. Well, that's final offer. Final offer accepted. And you know what else I accept? I accept that I'm here doing an episode of Hey Riddle Riddle. I'm JPC.

I'm Adal Rifai.

And I'm the human one here. Actually, it probably goes Adal is the most human, and then I'm sort of that in between. And then it's JPC. It's like the anamorphs.

Anamorphs.

It's like the anamorphs. And what's CPC's final form?

Now, Erin, it looks like it's nice and sunny there where you are in Los Angeles, but as we started recording, where Adal and I are in Chicago, a nice summer storm just started rolling in. And, oh, I gotta say, I fucking, I love a summer storm. When it's like 75 degrees outside, and it's still, and you know, there's some thunder in the background, and it's raining. It's the best.

Now that you're dads, are you going to go stand out on your lawns and go, we needed this? The grass is going to be really happy. We needed this.

It's like both hands, um, sort of on the small of my back as I'm like kind of lifting up on my toes, going, well, I told you, uh, I, I can't, I can't find a person like to cut my grass.

Like it's just, I have to do it myself and it's fine. I just don't like doing it, but I, I do it now.

You should ask someone to mow your lawn. Cutting grass, that takes forever.

Welcome to the show. If you ever need to rob a dad, just start talking about a lawn and the sleeper cell thing in their brain will wake up and they'll start talking about what they're doing, when they have to go get mulch. Hey Riddle Riddle Then, you know, when one of them stops working and finding another one, it's just another hassle that I'm like just doing it myself now. And I'm like, I don't like it. I don't like being outside. I don't like I don't like coming in and having to wash the dirt out of under my fingernails while I was wearing gloves the whole time. I'm like, what are the gloves doing if the dirt is still getting under the fingernails when the gloves are on?

Home ownership is the modern day Sisyphus. The amount of tasks you just have to keep on top of every week, every month. It's, it's awful. It sucks.

GPC, you're a little soft boy prince with soft hands who likes to stay inside.

I'm an inside kid for sure. I like to camp. I like to go experience nature. But there's something about the divide. If I'm outdoors and there's no facilities or whatever, and I'm just in it, great. I'm gritty. I'm into it. But when I'm outdoors and I'm like, yeah, but my shower's right there. Now I have to go take a shower because it is right there.

You said something and I do have to, I'm so sorry, my brain just is screaming for me to say it aloud. I do want to see someone make an Animorphs cover, which is you turning into Gritty. Philadelphia Flyers, I want to say Nightmare?

That's just going to be so confusing. It's just going to look like the same image over and over and over again. That will be confusing.

If people are not familiar with the Animorphs, some of them were reflective so you could turn the book and see it, but it's like a six, kind of like the evolution picture of monkey becoming man.

Oh, I thought you were rating the kids. You're like a six turning into a grasshopper.

Tobias is a ten because he's a bird. But it's like that image, and mine turning into gritty would just be like me, and then the midpoint would be like me going down on myself, and then it would be gritty.

When you said what Animorphs is, I was like, isn't that a Maroon 5 song? But I'm thinking of animals. But my brain just went, like Animorphs, like Animorphs. What year do you think that song came out?

Erin, I need to hook you up with a review crew from like two and a half months ago, because that would be perfect fodder for that.

Oh, I know. Dang.

And my brain went straight to Ben Folds' Rockin' the Suburbs with, and so, Animorphs, Animorphs, Animorphs.

That's perfect.

Not for long. The classic Muppet, Animorphs, which is my favorite Muppet.

Oh, yeah.

What year do you think Animals by Maroon 5 came out?

I want to say 2012.

2014. Yep, 2014. How did you know that?

Wow, okay.

2014.

Big swing. Big swing and a hit. I'm scared. Big Maroon 5 fan. Secret Maroon 5 fan unlocked.

So this is a Riddle Puzzle Lateral Thinking podcast. We're nine episodes away from our big 420 episode that we haven't discussed yet, but I assume it will be huge.

We all assume it's going to be huge. The big 420. The big 420. Well it is a Riddles podcast and we actually don't have a lot of time to fuck around today because we have Sandy coming on a little later and we basically fuck around all the time with Sandy so we can't we can't we got to be serious about riddles when we start. Would you guys like to start with some warm-up riddles or should I just throw you right into the deep end?

Welcome back to

Suzy went to the store and bought six eggs. Throughout the day, she broke two eggs, fried two eggs, and then ate two eggs. Later that evening, she baked a quiche, a dish that relies heavily on eggs. How is this possible?

Well, it said she fried two eggs, and what was the first one?

Broke two eggs, fried two eggs, and ate two eggs.

Those are just two eggs, so she had four left. If you break two eggs, you're putting them in a pan. If you fry them, those are still the ones you broke. And if you eat them, they're the ones you broke and fried.

Yeah, you are correct. You are correct. She had six eggs and she used four for a quiche. Is four low for a quiche?

Yeah, is that a mini quiche?

It's gotta be a mini quiche.

Also, did she have two fried eggs when she was having quiche later? What the hell is wrong with her?

Maybe she's baking the quiche for tomorrow. Because sometimes you want to sit a quiche overnight, right? To me, a quiche is like a brunch item, not like a dinner item.

I do want to see a scene. Erin, you're walking into a coffee shop and you're asking someone if you can sit down at the table next to them. JPC, you're this other person and you just happen to be, and I know this is so weird and random, you just happen to be Erin Keif. Got it. Is this fun?

I love how you said that like it's out of your hand. Like you're relaying news to us.

I'm just channeling the inspiration. Another big thunder, as Adal said, Erin Keif. God, not too happy about that.

Hi, sorry to bother you. Are you using this chair in this outlet? Oh my God.

Oh, no, I'm not at all. Please, by all means, help yourself to it.

Oh my God.

Oh. Uh, yes, I am.

I'm Erin Keif and you're like a spitting image of me. No, no, no. I don't want an autograph. This is sort of a it takes two situation. Mary-Kate and Ashley, they meet their exact doppelganger.

I'm in the middle of an audiobook right now. I don't know if you saw the headphones in. So it's like if I don't finish the chapter, I kind of get like... Right, but this is a miracle.

We're basically the same person, but you're made of eggs.

Oh, okay.

Um... Am I this much of a dick?

What's it gonna take to... What do I need to do? Do you want me to record a video for your friend? No, no.

Shouldn't we switch places and try to like get a couple together or do like doppelganger hijinks? This is a huge deal.

My husband is actually in the bathroom and he's going to be here soon.

I'm not alone.

I'm not, I'm not alone right now. So it's like, don't make a scene.

I'm not making a scene. That's a really nice coat. How do you afford that coat?

My ears are burning. Hi. Nice to meet you. My name is Mark Marin Keish.

Wow, oh my god, you took the egg's last name. Hi, how do you do? Um, can you believe how much I look like your wife?

I took his last name.

Yeah, why'd you assume— His last name is Marin Quiche.

Just because you met my wife first doesn't mean— Why do I look exactly like this egg woman? See?

I am the egg woman, Cuckoo Cachoo.

Okay, here's another warm-up, Riddle. This is a warm-up from Katie. Katie asks, what can you find in December that you can't find in any other month? Christmas. A D. Christmas and a D would be, I guess what? Christmas in July. Ooh, two gifts. That is correct. And then the second warm-up is, alone it is as fragile as tissue.

Wait, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm so sorry. You're moving so fast. I would like to see a scene.

Oh, okay. And these are just the warm-up.

I know, but we've called scenes just from bullshit at the beginning of an episode. You can call a scene on a warm-up, Riddle. It holds water.

For sure you can. For sure you're able to.

Well then, great. I'm gonna do it. Watch.

Big sign in the back of Erin's house that says, we do call the scenes.

Okay, here I go, calling for a scene. JPC and Adal, you guys are a couple. Adal, you have brought JPC home to meet your family for the first time over Christmas, and everyone's exchanging gifts, and JPC, you don't want to exchange your gift in front of everybody because your gift to Adal is sex, but you have to tell him what the gift is in front of the whole family. Okay, who's next? Thank you guys so much for this. Like I just I needed a laptop so bad, by the way. I appreciate it.

And that's an Acer and I'm told that they're really good for Margaret for sort of what you do.

Thank you so much. You're such a good brother. Who wants to go next?

I can go. But just to say that I

Robby, Robby, Robby, Robby. We're so happy to have you here with the family.

I'm so happy to be here. It's my first time. I totally misunderstood. I did not, I didn't actually get a gift card.

Oh no, you're going to be great. Robby, you're going to be great. I know, I know. I know that this is a hard holiday to come into generally. And then also we obviously had a couple deaths in the family this year, but you are, you love our brother so much and we're so grateful that you're here and we just cannot wait to see what you got him.

I didn't get a gift, is what I'm saying. So I brought no gifts. Yes. So I will have to graciously... And again, I just didn't understand that it was gifts for everybody like this.

Robbie, you have a big bow around your waist. What are you talking about? I didn't get a gift.

Yeah, you said you had a big surprise.

Is it under your robe? And you have a big box on your lap.

So I put a big bow around my waist to come to my boyfriend's family's Christmas and I didn't think it would come up. Uh, huh.

Is it a car? Is it a ring? Are you proposing?

No, it's not a ring. It is a, it is a bow in my waist belt. It is a belt. This is a used belt.

He's a prankster. You told us he was a prankster and he is. It's actually... Robbie, Robbie, Robbie, Robbie.

I know that you're such a big fan of Kill Bill. This is David Carradine's belt.

Are you calling an Uber right now? No, I am... I can see you on your phone, you're calling an Uber.

I'm making sure no Ubers show up, because sometimes Ubers just come.

Only if you schedule them. Now you're checking it against the price of Lyft. What's going on?

So you can see just my whole phone, huh?

Yeah, I'm standing right behind you and I'm looking.

You're also casting it to the TV. I am casting it to the TV, yes. That is what I am doing.

Oh, the dips on the phone! Are you surprising him with a trip or something?

Oh, it's gonna be like a picture of, like, French Polynesia?

Let's all stop guessing gifts, because that's- right? That's never- that never ends up in a good place, when we guess the gift that we want to receive.

I guessed that I was gonna get a laptop, and then I did!

That- I mean, that's your brother, though. You've known each other for, like, 31 years, so it's like... No one knows him better than you, though.

You guys are so in love.

Speaking of guests, I guess we should throw the gifts that we had for Grandma and Uncle Charles in the fireplace because obviously they're not here with us. You're right, symbolically. Symbolically, we should send them up the chimney. Don't catch the gift!

I've wanted to break up for four months. How do you break up with someone whenever two months someone important to them dies? With who? Megan, you are stupid.

I just tried throwing this gift into the fire and you caught it.

You are stupid and rude.

You're stupid and rude.

Oh my God. I wish we had not watched Meet the Fockers. I feel like this is, it's playing out exactly like that movie right now.

How are we going to see Focker and Locke if we don't watch Meet the Fockers? This is turning into a white elephant. We get to steal any gift. So you give our brother your gift. And then if anyone wants to steal the gift that you gave him, they can. That's the new rule, white out. Grandma's still warm in the ground.

That's big, like, I'll have what she's having.

Can he stay forever? In coming to America where Eddie Murphy gives those earrings and she's like, I can't accept them because they're like $500,000 earrings. Yeah. And then she gets off the train and then the old lady stands up. She goes, I'll marry you.

Okay, here's your second warm-up. It's, again, still from Katie.

And I can call a scene about this one, too, if I want.

If you want to, if you choose to. Alone, it is as fragile as a tissue. Together, it can crush a small town. What am I? Godzilla. Godzill-eye.

Breath.

Oh, yeah, because emotionally, Godzilla's as fragile as a tissue. Earth, fire, water. Alone. Hold on. You're trying to stop me. Captain Planet with the five. Earth, wind, fire, water, and Godzilla. And monkey. What was the monkey guy? Heart. Heart. Yeah. And honestly, there was no heart. They just wanted to hang out with the monkey and he's the one that had it.

I feel like Friends stole. I feel like Friends was like, we need a group of friends. Kind of like Captain Planet has like a group. Yeah. And they're like, also Captain Planet has a monkey, so maybe Rush should have a monkey?

And people don't talk about this a lot, but Earth had the Rachel.

Somebody draw it. I'm dying to see it. That would unite the world if we just decided to give Earth the Rachel.

It's telling that we don't know what any of their names are. I can't say his name is like Pete or whatever.

Mati? Mati was Heart, right?

Yes. Yeah.

And then the rest, boy, got in my head.

Chad. Who knows? Alone, it is fragile as a tissue. Together, it can crush a small town. What am I?

Hmm. Okay. Is this like a letter of the alphabet?

No, it's not a letter of the alphabet.

So, like, the plural of this thing is the destructive thing.

Yeah, basically. Basically, yeah. One is very fragile and a bunch of them could crush a small town. Hmm. I mean they could do more than that too. They could fuck up a big city as well.

Is it some sort of monster?

It's not a monster. No, I would say it's very naturally occurring.

Okay, much like... Tornado, tornadoes. Wind.

Hurricane, hurricane. You're thinking way too... Much like mudslides. Way too large scale, Erin. Rain, rain. Rain is close, rain is close. Clouds. It's not clouds, it's not sneeze. Rain is close.

Um, stream, river, snowflake, snowflake, snow.

Yeah, snowflake and snow. Exactly. You got it. Wow. Good one. That's a pretty good one. Maybe we haven't had that one before. I like that. And then, okay, I want to do, I want to do one final. I wanted to see a scene. No, I gotta do one final warmup, Riddle, because this is.

I can't even see scenes anymore.

Hey GFPC, can I talk to you for a second? Let's see it. Let's see it. Let's see your scene.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, what's up?

I feel like Erin wants to see a scene. I feel like you're really kind of policing her.

Sandy- Adal, did you ask?

... is dying for us to introduce her. Give me a second. Sweetie, give me a second.

Did you ask him? Okay.

Yeah, give me a second. Get back in the car, please.

Okay.

Also, I feel like, Adal, can you just let her have a scene, please? Can you just let her have one scene?

Are you calling an Uber? No. Are you calling an Uber while you're asking? She's in the car. Call your seat, please.

I don't even want to see it anymore. I lost the momentum for it.

Yeah, once the momentum is gone.

Can I tell you what it would have been? And then everyone can grieve that we never got to see it. I was gonna say, JBC, you're a snowflake. Adal, you're on a date with him. And JBC's sort of bragging about how unique and different he is. But we're not gonna see that scene.

Yeah, it would have been funny. That would have been really good. I like that scene.

Maybe in a couple years when I'm old enough.

One more warm up Riddle. And I'm introducing a dangerous precedent in the show and I just want to tell people if you submit riddles to the show, this is a one-off. This is not something that I'm going to be entertaining in the future. TJ from Columbus sent us a riddle. That is not a riddle, but they kind of reworked it into a riddle. So I'll give it to you, and then I'll give you the answer probably, and then you could be like, well, this isn't a riddle. But it's kind of been reworked. So here we go. TJ from Columbus, thank you for sending this in. There once was a land filled with animals. The animals were just like humans are on earth. They have jobs, they go to work, they drive around, except for Nate the snake. Nate the snake was the nicest animal of all. He always lent a helping hand and offered up all of his earnings to help out those less fortunate. Everyone loved Nate. In the middle of Nate's town, though, there was a lever. And if you pulled the lever, the world would end. So no one ever pulled the lever. But one day, a delivery driver, who knew how great Nate was, came rushing in and was driving for the center of town when he realized his brakes were out. Directly in front of him was the lever. He could swerve and hit Nate with his truck, or he could hit the lever and end the world. What did the delivery driver do and why? Kind of like a trolley problem, except with Nate the Snake and a lever in the middle of town.

Is this just the plot of Zootopia 2?

This is kind of that. The reading of that immediately made me, it made me think so much of Dennis Hopper's thing on Gorilla's Demon Days, fire coming out of a monkey's head. Oh yeah. Where it's like, brrrrt, brrrrt, and he's like, one day the people went to the monkey, and the monkey met that whole little spiel.

God, Hopper was great, wasn't he? Hopper was great. I watched, and not too recently, but within the last couple of years, I watched Speed again. Hopper is so fucking good in Speed.

I thought you were talking about the movie Hoppers was great.

I watched Hoppers on Speed, and I was like, I know I'm on methamphetamines right now, but this movie is fucking good.

Vanessa Bayer is a great white shark, yes it is. What did the delivery driver do, is that the question?

What did the delivery driver do and why?

This is a trick question.

It's not a trick question.

It's not even a riddle. So, yeah, I'm confounded by the fact that you said you won't entertain this type of riddle again.

Well, I won't entertain things that are not riddles, even if they're being presented as riddles.

Yeah.

So it was what does a delivery driver do? Who does he hit? Does he hit Nate or does he hit the lever?

Neither.

It's not neither. He definitely hits one of them.

Is this like the trolley problem?

It's not. It's kind of the trolley problem. It's not neither and it's not both. So do you have a guess of a binary choice which one he hits?

The snake.

The lover. He hits the snake. He hits Nate. But do we know why?

No.

Okay, well I'll just tell you. Because he wanted to. The driver hit Nate, of course, because better Nate than lover.

Okay. So, I need to step away from my computer for one second. I need to pull an Adam Driver and marriage story and put a hole in my wall.

I need to pull an Adam Driver and marriage story and cheat on my wife and then yell at her.

I need to pull an Adam Driver and marriage story and walk out of a interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air.

Did you guys see that Adam Driver, apparently in like Lena Dunham's new book, she like accused him of like aggressive behavior on set of girls. And did you see that he was asked about it? And he was like, I have no comment about that. It's all going to be in my book.

Cool, Adam.

What? Who knows if he was joking? I'm assuming he was joking about the book, but also it's just like, eh? Just having like Dirty Laundry aired in like public is so funny to me like it's just it it's that this is like it's a cartoonish uh an actor's existence because a there's the kind of actor who takes himself so seriously that he's like i'm playing a dick on this show i gotta be a dick in real life i'm like that's you know it's all pretend you don't have to do that but then also just to be like Can you imagine if someone wrote something about you in a book and then you had to respond to that? You're like, oh man, what is this life that I live? Yes, better Nate than lover. Again, not really a riddle, but what do you call one of those things? Like a story with a word joke at the end. Is that just a joke?

A slap in the face. A sign of disrespect is what I call it.

Listen, do I wish I had thought of it? Yeah. But do I enjoy it when it's posed at me? No.

I do want to see. Well, no. Let's put that to the test. Let's put that to the test. Yes, I want to see a scene. Erin, here's a scene. So you're going to be telling Adal one of these long, like complicated story jokes that have like a lot of setup. But you you do all the setup, but you you forget what the punchline of the story joke is. And so you have to just try to like force whatever you you have to force it. Right.

So Debbie, is it this exit or the next one?

Hold on, I was right in the middle of it.

Can you navigate, please? Debbie, can you navigate?

Yes. Okay, so. You're gonna love this. You're gonna die over this. Okay. There is this woman, and her name is Susie. And she loves walking up the stairs, but not down. Okay?

Okay.

She moves in with her boyfriend. His name is Kevin. And he can only walk down the stairs. Fuck!

I think 83C was the exit.

Neither of them can slide down a fire pole. Neither of them know how to ride the elevator, or want to.

Can I take... Alright, I'm gonna take this shit. Uh, shit. Am I good to merge? Am I good... Debbie, am I good to merge?

So, when they moved in together, what kind of house did they choose to live in?

Debbie... Fuck. Oh shit, we're going into a tailspin. What?

Fuck.

Just answer the question.

I'm sorry, Debbie. I'm sorry, what? Sorry, what was it?

Oh, shoot. Um... Hmm.

Are you okay? We flipped upside down. Are you okay? I'm going to cut my seatbelt and then I'm... I hit my head and so I don't remember the answer to the... No, no, I want to hear the... finish your thing. I feel like we need some levity.

Who am I?

Come on.

Huh? Whoa. What am I? Whoa.

Oh my God, is everybody okay? Yeah.

Is everybody okay in here? It was a real gentle, we got, we were in a tailspin and then- I know, I saw. It was a very gentle tip. Yeah.

I don't know who I am. Whoa. What are you?

I was driving behind you. You actually had your windows down and I heard, I heard your name is Debbie and you were telling a story. It's like a, one of those like joke stories where Kevin liked to ride up the elevator and Susie only liked to take the stairs. You're not hooked up to an EKG or anything, you're just a person. You're a person.

I'm going to start doing that when men try to talk to me in public.

Your own flatline, yeah. You should walk around with an EKG machine and turn it on if you get bored of a conversation.

Ma'am, if I could see your ticket, I could help guide you to your seat. Oh, okay. I guess you've died.

Last night I was talking to Riley about how I want, I'm going to invent this technology and then you guys can invest in the company. Are you ready?

Okay. Yeah.

It's a mood ring. It's like one of those like health rings that you wear, but... Like an aura ring.

Yeah, like an aura ring.

Okay. So it's like an aura ring and it's collecting sort of your mood. Like it knows when you're sweating, it knows when you get excited, it knows when you get scared. Yeah, I know when I'm sweating. And then the lights... Not always. Not always.

Sometimes I stand up and go, holy shit. Did someone pour a glass of water down my back?

The lights in your house are connected to that ring.

Okay.

So when, so like, people always know how you're feeling. And then a couple when they're having a fight, they can go like, okay, it looks, I know how you're feeling. It's like a strobe light. Yeah.

Got it. So lights in my house are on and off, but so you're you're positing that we have lights that have like what like a variety of colors, colors, dimmers, and then they can like sort of flash, flashing, like a light show. Yeah. My only fear, Erin, is what is the emotion that you feel when the lights are flashing? What is that emotion?

Like panic.

It's not like panic? Okay, because here's the thing. If it's panic and the lights are flashing, I feel like I'm intrigued into a panic loop here.

Or dancing. Well, we're having fun dancing. Oh my god.

Johnny, are you okay? Is everything okay?

I'm just having fun dancing. No, I'm stressed and I'm dancing.

Was that your EKG machine?

Yeah. But I feel like that'd be pretty cool. Yeah, that'd be cool.

That is very cool.

I like that. I like that piece of technology.

I love that idea, and I also love JPC's idea of a opposite setting, which is the light fixtures will counterbalance your mood. So if you're stressed, they'll go to like a soft blue or something.

Oh, that's actually smarter than my idea.

No, I think it's complimentary.

I'm

And what about the same thing? It's like an Oura Ring, but it's a collar for a dog. But it also has a little speaker built into it. So, depending on what your dog is feeling like, you know, their heart rate and all that stuff. You're inventing up again. It tells you the dog's mood. So you could like, you're walking around your apartment and it's like, dog is horny. Dog is horny.

Yeah, that's a direct line from up.

I look over, you're wearing the collar.

I don't know. I don't know. Just wanted to kind of try it on for a second. This is really, really sensitive, huh? You must have got the dials turned way up.

Dog is the sad kind of horny. Have you ever had that painting?

How long have you had that painting? Is that a nude painting? Nude painting, nude painting, nude painting. Hey, speaking of nude paintings, we're going to take a little break and then we're probably going to be back with kind of the embodiment of a nude painting, our friend Sandy.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, I don't know why I said it that way. Sandy, go ahead and disrobe. And class, go ahead and start.

1, 2, 3, 4.

Hey Riddle Riddle.

This sweater's so hot. Why am I wearing a sweater during the summer?

Erin pulls down sunglasses. Erin, baby, get with the times.

All right, cool vibe.

It's summerish, perhaps, and you have to go to Quince to get some lightweight, breathable Quince wearables.

Oh, that sounds so nice. I love Quince.

Yeah, everything at Quince is priced 50-80% less than similar brands and they work directly with ethical factories and cut out the middlemen so you're paying for quality, not brand markup, Erin.

Quince goes way beyond clothing. They have custom upholstered sofas, ceramic cookware, premium bedding. It's the kind of brand you end up recommending to everyone for everything. I'm moving this summer and I have so many things favorited from Quince. I want curtains from there. I want some of their kitchen stuff. Their rugs are unbelievable and priced so fairly, and I'm so excited that Quince exists. Perfect timing, Quince. Thank you.

Gemma got a 100% European linen fit and flair midi dress from Quince that she is obsessed with. Looks great on her. And they also have stuff for babies. So we've put little Crumpet in some beautiful, adorable, little breathable summertime cotton onesies.

But she is so excited for dinner time since we switched to Ollie.

Oh, look, Lou's getting near the microphone. What is it, Lou? Ollie.

Where is he?

Oh, he can come, but Sandy's here. No, Sandy, you are the best.

Oh, thank you. Tell me about this pet renaming business because if I knew you could do that, I would go to a lot more parties.

Yes. You give me one martini and then I just sort of start screaming about what I would rename your pet.

And Erin renamed my cat Martini. Yes, because I was drinking a martini. Your cats have great names. My cats? Yeah. Thank you. They're all food or drink, yes.

Erin's like the equivalent of the sorting hat. You kind of just bring her to your party and eventually she'll like touch your shoulder and be like, uh… Better be Teresa!

Better be!

So what would you name my dog? I know you haven't met her.

Ruffles.

But her name is Cleo now. What was it?

Ruffles. Rumbles. Rubles.

Rubles, because she's Russian. She does move fast. What kind of dogs do you need? It's a, she's a standard poodle. She's a small standard. She's 40 pounds. Um, yeah, her name is Cleo. We got her when she was a year old, which meant someone had already trained her, which means we have the best behaved dog and everyone gets all these compliments. And, um, we, uh, we take them.

I'm going to rename your dog. I'm going to make her name longer and make her name Cleo from five to seven, which is a French movie that is quite good. Today we're Um, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

Have we talked, we must have talked about Cleo on the show before, because we certainly have talked about how your son is Ezra, better than Ezra, and your dog is Cleo, letters to Cleo.

Yes, letters to Cleo, yes, yes. That's as far as it goes as far as 90s indie band humor. Yeah, yeah. 90s? 2000s? We'll say 90s, that's fine. That's fine. Cleo from 5 to 7, 1962, starring

It's directed by a woman, and it is truly incredible. I have to recommend it. And that is your dog's new name. Who's up next? Adal, stop hiding your cats behind you.

Anybody who says that their favorite movie is from 62 hasn't seen a lot of Mission Impossible movies. I'm just gotta say that. I'm just gotta say that.

I'm just gotta say that. Well, since we're done talking about my dog, I only have one pet to rename, I'm afraid. I have two kids if you want to do them, but... I like them just the way they are. It might be a little confusing. Less Than Jake.

What's another French movie?

Sorry, Less Than Jacques. Less Than Jacques. Eight and a Half? No, is that French?

I think that's Italian.

Italian. And also, you don't want to name a kid after that movie. Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Oh, yes. Perfect. Perfect.

A French musical.

I'll call him Umbrella. Yep.

Umbrella.

This is my girl Umbrella.

Umbrella is a cute name for a dog.

Well, her name is Zella, so it's close.

Yeah. You can say Umbrella of Cherbourg.

Umbrella. All right. Well, I brought some riddles For you today, similar to what I did back in December, in honor of Father's Day, I think I thought I'd bring them back. These are basically dad jokes.

Oh, fun. Love. Okay. Adal, have fun. Good luck. I think I said this last time too.

Can I tell you a brief IT story? My last office job that I worked with, I always think if you do work in an office where they have an IT department, it's always good to get in with the IT department because they can save your bacon sometimes if they like you.

I wouldn't go to a bakery that had bacon.

Yeah, they'll prioritize you, but I was pretty tight with the IT people at my work, but one time I was in there chatting with one of the IT people, and I can't remember what I was going in there for, but someone else came in, like a higher up executive, and they were like, I can't get into my laptop, something's wrong with my laptop, and they just dropped their laptop and left, and the IT person, while we were talking, opened up the laptop, and on their laptop, I kid you not, when you open it up, there was a little sticky note, Welcome to the show.

You forgot. You forgot everything you learned about mall freezing rings. The mall, hot behind this Orange Julius counter, B. Dalton real quick. God, oh my God. This is like visceral memories from roaming malls as a kid.

The Roman malls. Borns Julius.

And one more Roman Mall joke. The Barnes and Nobles please gather round. Neiman Marcus Aurelius.

Holy fuck. I just got goosebumps.

Roman Malls feels like a throwaway joke from like a Mel Brooks like movie where it's like a store that's just called Columns and all they sell is columns.

An honor to have you back.

Thanks for having me.

I don't know if it's still open. I haven't talked to my uncle Nasser in 30 years, 28, 30 years. Worth a shot. But when I lived in Columbus... Check on him, see if he's still alive. He had that restaurant, Ferdos. Can I ask a question about the restaurant, Adal?

Can I eat there if it's just me, or does it have to be Ferdos?

It's Middle Eastern Food for Mexican Couples.

Could that be our new tagline? Hey Riddle Riddle, Middle Eastern Food for Mexican Couples.

Table for a Dose? JBC, is there anything you'd like to bug or promote?

Yeah, well the first thing I'd like to plug is my buddy Adal Rifai just had a big birthday. Happy birthday, Adal.

The only reason that we forgot to mention it is because it hasn't happened yet. But when this episode comes out, it will have been your birthday, so happy birthday, man. And anything else that I want to plug? Oh yeah, listen to Gumshoes and Dragons. That's a fun show. Us and Anthony Birch. Doing adventures Columbo style. And then I want to read a review. This is a review from Liz, permission to use my name, which is a great, a great title for your name. And it's a five star review. It says, if I could give zero stars, I would. I recently started watching Veep for the first time. So I was excited to hear that the hilarious Tony Hale was going to be the guest on the most recent episode. However, I was completely taken aback at the amount of spoilers. Erin said her favorite scene in Veep was when Selena finds out she's going to be president. I go home tonight and the next episode up was season 2 episode 9, Crate, wherein Selena finds out she's going to be president. This unabashed spoiler is egregious. It's basic human decency to allow a reasonable amount of time for the average person to see a piece of media without publicly spoiling it for everyone rude. That show came out in 2012. Ten years is more than enough time.

I can't believe a TV show about a vice president Has them becoming president.

That's a wild plot line. That is a wild plot line.

No, I hear you. I hear you. And now we spoiled it again for more people.

Well, that person spoiled it in their review.

Yeah. Complaining about this. Hurt people, hurt people.

Casey, can you beep out? I said Widow's Bay is good. Can you beep out good? Because then people are going to watch and be like, fuck, that was great.

Can you beep out that TPC is a demon?

They said Widow's Bay is some slur that they couldn't say on the podcast. I don't know.

Hot dogs. Hey Riddle Riddle. Hot dogs, hot dogs, hot dogs, hot dogs, hot dogs.

Oh my God, wait. We have to wish Adal a happy birthday. It was his birthday two days ago.

No, just drop it anywhere.
