Which Riddle Riddle?

This is a HeadGum Podcast. Hey Adal, at JPC we just got a letter in the mail. It's in a red envelope labeled angry. Let me read this real quick.

Oh boy, I know what this is going to be.

Probably a weird start.

Another sex letter for JPC.

No, we can tell those are sex letters because they're sticky. All right, this one says, to whom it may concern over at Hey Riddle Riddle, Italy has been informed of your recent mockery and as a nation of 2000 years of history,

That's it?

Two thousand? I guess-ish. And absolutely no capacity for letting things go. We demand an immediate and sincere apology. Failure to comply will result in you being banned from the country, blah blah blah, not being able to do hand gestures anymore, or have, hmm, an opinion about pasta. Sincerely, Italy.

Hmm.

Little weird. Do we think that this is like one of those tax notices where we can just kind of like kick it out of the fridge? Or do we think this is like one of these things that we sincerely need to respond to? I think we need to bomb Italy.

Adal, I think like I'm trying not to overreact, but I'm like leaning towards you. You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Anyway, these are riddles from Hunter E. A full menu of pasta puns with extra cheese. Those are really the riddles we're doing today. I'm not even kidding.

Erin, now after our last episode, did you go and search like pasta riddles or this was just like what was up next?

Baby, that's the beauty. I didn't even need to. That was up next.

This is what people send us. I mean, this is how fucking lucky we are. This is how blessed we are. People just send us pasta riddles.

You know how they say that déjà vu means that you're aligned in a life that you're meant to be leading? Like when you experience déjà vu, it means that like… Qu'est-ce que c'est what? You don't know about déjà vu?

You put the lime in the what? Oh, Erin, I'm sorry, I'm getting an email here. Oh no, what's it say? They said, now you're talking about déjà vu, a very French term. Wow, no love for Italian or our version of déjà vu seconds.

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

Qu'est-ce que c'est? Oh, Erin, don't say qu'est-ce que c'est, huh? Should we go around? Let's just go around. I would feel a lot better if we just each say one thing, one Italian thing that we are thankful for. I will go first. Roberto Benigni. Now.

Oh, I wanted to say Roberto Benigni.

Now, seemingly their top actor, and I've only ever seen him in two films. Yeah. Life is beautiful and down by law. I don't know if he's made other films. Maybe he just made the two. We can't know. We know he ran across the back of the chairs at the Oscars and what a scamp he was for that. But thank you Italy for Roberto.

I would like to go next. I would like to thank Italy for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turrets. Thank you, Italy, for those boys. They're fun boys, and we had a lot of fun getting to know them.

I would like to thank Italy for Benito Mussolini's murder. You guys did a crack up job with that. He was a bad man.

Casey, I'm going to go ahead and need you to clip it.

I think he got him. I think you guys were the ones that ultimately got him. We got you. Turnabout's fair play.

Without Italy, we wouldn't have had the movie Gladiator and therefore we wouldn't have had Russell Crowe's illustrious career.

That's right. That's right.

No Gladiator. No Russell Crowe as Javert. And ultimately, that's on you guys.

I do like their coffee. I do like their little tiny coffee. That's pretty nice.

Yeah.

Gelato's them, right?

Gelato's them. Gelato's them. Can I tell you guys about, this is not Italy related, but it's probably something that you can't tell on the call. Uh, sometimes I, most times I wake up before anyone else in my house and today I got dressed in the dark, which I do a lot of the times and I just kind of grabbed a pair of shorts.

Honey, we can tell.

I'm going to actually, let's see if I, if I stand up, if you guys can see this. So I grabbed clothes in the dark without being able to see them. And I grabbed shorts and a shirt that were both the exact same shade of green. And then I put them on and I came downstairs and I was like, Oh my God, I'm just wearing like, it looks like I'm wearing like a unitard of green today.

It's monochromatic. It's a look.

It's monochromatic. It's a look. It's not my look, I would say. But I've decided that today I'm just fully committed to it. So I'm just fully in all green today.

Happy St.

Patrick's Day. A little late.

You guys, I googled some famous Italian-American actors.

Okay. Okay. And don't start with Sofia Coppola. I think of her as a director. She ruined Godfather 3.

I need a little time to rearrange my list.

Cher. Cher is Italian. I learned this because when I was watching Moonstruck recently, I was like, is she doing like, is everybody doing a voice? But it's like, no, everybody in this is Italian.

Cher is not Italian.

I thought she was Armenian.

Wait. She's Armenian.

Does she not have some Italian in her?

No.

Isn't she like... Whoa, careful with this joke.

After she fucks Nicholas Cage, she's got a little Italian in her, right?

I knew, I felt it. Adal, you felt it too.

I felt it too. Nicholas Cate, of course, Sofia Coppola's cousin, so we are therefore mentioning Sofia Coppola.

I didn't, I didn't though, Adal.

I didn't, I heard you. I put the onus on you, so just be careful.

Oh my god, I feel like Italy over here. I'm getting blamed for things that aren't even my fault. Oh my god.

Wow, this is like, I'm having seconds.

Here's some Italian-Americans.

Okay.

And you're gonna tell me that it doesn't feel like I'm reading off the cast of a single movie over here.

Mm-hmm.

Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Sylvester Stallone, James Gandolfini.

These are actors? I've literally never heard of any of these people. These are actors? Like movie actors. This is crazy.

James Gandolfini, one of our best, Danny DeVito, Stanley Tucci, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro, and Marissa Tomei.

Wow. Erin, can I ask you, do you know, is Danny DeVito Jewish?

Don't. No one say anything. No, don't encourage him.

What are we to say? I'm not going to say that he's got a little Jewish in him or whatever.

If I'm not learning from my shapes over here at Hey Riddle Riddle, then I give up. I got to learn from my mistakes.

Fine. OK. I'm going to kaggy it. I'm going to find out if Danny DeVito is Jewish.

Famed, I guess, French brothers, the Lumières, invented cinema not too long ago. Band? Sorry, the Lumineers invented movies four years ago with hay. How did we... No, that's Outkast. What is their little song? It says hay, right? Hay ho. Yeah. What is their little song? That's the Seven Dwarfs.

Somewhere there's a Lumineer on a train going, little song. You guys, we went number one.

We were the stop flap kings.

We moved 15 million cassettes.

Danny DeVito appears to be not Jewish in the slightest.

No one said he was, you did.

You said you're a little Jewish in him because of what?

I've been listening to a lot of the Hercules soundtrack where Danny DeVito is playing a Seder and in the song that Danny DeVito sings, which I actually, I like. I think Danny DeVito has a very fun character singing voice. But he says, oy vey. And I go, every time I hear him say that, I'm like, is it a Jewish Seder? Because a Jewish Seder is something different. That's Emil, I know that.

This is something I've noticed where I feel like Disney likes to work in little cultural tips of the hat. Because Robin Williams' Genie, I believe at some point, plays like, as he's popping around into celebrity impressions and stuff, I feel like at some point he becomes like a mohel or something. That makes sense. And has a similar moment where it's like, I know Robin Williams isn't Jewish, but I feel like they just have these little things of like, isn't it funny that In, you know, Greek mythology, we're saying oy vey, like, I just feel like they have those little moments.

And do we know if it's a love letter from a Jewish animator, sort of doing a nod to their culture, or is it a swipe from someone? And we'll never know.

Or was it a DeVito just improv, where he was just like, he improvised oy vey, and they're like, I guess we have to keep it now.

How does that song go? He sings in Hercules, I literally can't place it in my head.

It's like, so you want to be a hero, kid? And then, you know, some more stuff. That's the beginning of it. Now I know that much.

Oh, very quickly, I was going to say in all the years of cinema, since the Lumiere's curated it, how have we never had Danny DeVito and Joe Pesci as opposite each other as like brothers? Because they're both like little spunky Italian guys. That's right.

You didn't see them in the film Mirror Mirror from 2005, where they're just staring at each other going, Hey, are you talking to me? Oh, come on. Are you talking to me? It was a flop at the box office. But it was a DVD hit.

DVD hit. It's also not too late because they're both alive and they're both in their 80s. I know this is dicey territory for the show because we kill a lot of celebrities by playing.

Well, come on. Again, you're treating me like we're Italy. OK?

Yeah.

We mention celebrities and then they die.

In credit, Joe Pesci will return in Avengers something, Avengers DeVito.

Avengers DeVito. Oh, I'm back in the theater seat if Avengers DeVito hits.

It's coming. I do like in our Italian American, or our Italian apology episode, we accidentally kill Joe Pesci in Avengers DeVito.

Are you guys telling me, and be 100% honest, like it's early in the morning, let's not sort of fiddle foot around this. Would you not watch a Disney Plus TV show that's Rocket Raccoon and Danny DeVito on like a road trip? Two of the better and most distinct angry voices in the history of the media, Danny DeVito and Bradley Cooper, together?

I did see Spider-Man and I did like it very much and that's my update.

Now Erin, JPC and I and Casey saw this at 4DX and we very much enjoyed it, not to speak for everyone. At the very end of the movie, well, we won't spoil anything by saying this, at the very end of the movie Punisher does something where he probably doesn't need to, but he's like, did you pick up on that at the very end of the movie? I did.

I did.

Did you pick up on that?

Were you awake for that part?

And I said that Punisher got his powers by, he was bit by a bullet. And then JDC said, you mean shot? And I said, no, no, no. Bit by a bullet? He was bit by a bullet. That's how he got his powers.

I do remember that part. You know what I was thinking? How glad I was to not be being punched in the back by Spider-Man and nauseous out of my mind while watching the movie. I was grateful to be in my non-moving seat watching the film.

Interesting. Now if you think that Spider-Man would punch you in the back, what have you done to kind of deserve, because Spider-Man famously, Erin, he doesn't punch people who don't deserve it, you know?

I don't know, Superman punched me and I do good all over the place.

Well, that's your competition. Yeah.

Oh, Casey said we were Spider-Man, Erin, you fool. Oh, I see how it is. Every guy wants to be Spider-Man.

Erin, when we saw 40X Spider-Man Broad Dune Day, whenever Punisher was on the screen, you could feel him giving you like a shoulder massage.

Oh, okay. Hold on. Which is kind of nice.

Yeah. And it may have been, it may have been, now that I'm thinking about it, it may have been the guy behind me, but whenever the Hulk was on the screen, you could feel your neck being kissed just gently, just gentle, sensual neck kisses.

Okay, what a way to get away with kissing JPC right now. Just make sure you buy a ticket. Don't let anything happen to them at 48. Okay, okay. Can we just be serious for a second and go on a break and then we're going to do these pasta riddles.

Let's do these pasta riddles. Whoa, who's that new hunk? He's dressed so well. Whoa, look at him. He is dressed so well.

You guys, you're looking in a mirror.

Oh, I thought that was like Vince Quince or something. Yeah, that's us. We look amazing.

I thought that was like Quince Diesel or something. We look like that?

Yes, it's because you are wearing your new quince high quality wardrobe staples. Look at you, Adaline, your 100% Mongolian cashmere sweater. And JPC, you look incredible in this button down if I do say so myself.

Wow, our styles are truly timeless, versatile, and designed to become dependable pieces that we will reach for day after day.

Also, 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 high quality, not brand markup. And Erin, you're doing the splits!

Look at me go. And it's not just clothing. Quince brings the same approach to everything they make, from hotel quality bedding and bath to kitchen essentials and thoughtfully designed furniture. They make well-designed pieces for everyday living. I'm about to move and my Quince cart is filled with stuff that's going to make my home stylish without breaking the bank.

Did someone say Vince Quince?

Whoa! Yeah, like five minutes ago.

Yeah, like a long time ago.

This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Okay Adal, Erin, if you could wake up tomorrow and be better at one thing, what's it gonna be? What do you think?

Mine would be not letting chaos affect my day as much, emotionally. Not letting it send me into a tailspin. What about you, Adal?

Photography. I would have a net that could catch Sonic the Hedgehog, even though he's the fastest hedgehog alive.

Don't stop. You said you would not bring this up today.

Guys, if you just let me try the net on you. Come on, hold on. I know I could get the net working. You know what? Better, guys. You criticize my view about better, but better is a feeling, and it's a feeling defined by you. And for better help, it's a better help therapist who really gets you. It's a focus on global emotional well-being with thousands of therapists and millions of members in over 100 countries. It's progress. And my net device is progressing very netsly.

Or it's getting better at, like, self-regulating when chaos happens in your day. Something like that. And a little bit less about this. The biggest net I've ever seen.

Well, it needs to be. He's so fast. He's a fast hedgehog a lot.

How did you make this? Doesn't the net need to be strong, not big?

All I know is that you can sign up and get 10% off at BetterHelp.com slash Riddle. That's BetterHelp.com slash Riddle. And sometimes the net that catches Sonic the Hedgehog is the emotional net that was, now this is nothing.

That's BetterHelp.com slash Riddle. All right. We are back and we are still so, so, what do we want to say? Hungry? Hungry. We're hungry. That's what I wanted to say.

And let's remember to save a little bit from each riddle to use for our sauce as like a binding agent at the end.

That I'll see. Wisdom. That's what you bring. That's what you bring to the table. I'm She is so beautiful, needlessly. I mean, you could be 40% less beautiful and I would still be completely dazzled by you, Marissa Tomei.

Yeah, she is needlessly beautiful.

I'm like obsessed with her. Is she not the hottest woman you've ever seen? Am I crazy?

There are starving kids all across this world and Marissa Tomei has the gall to be that beautiful?

This is what I'm saying. Come on!

There's starving kids all over the world and yet our queen eats every day?

Save some for the rest of us.

Okay. Okay. I'm hungry for these pasta riddles.

I'd like to put my penny in her. Let's do these riddles.

Hunter, thank you so much for these. I like that Hunter addresses their letter with, good day old man puzzles. Thank you. Oh, I like that too. If you and your emails from now on can be formally addressing old man puzzles, because this is a tricky position to be in. It's a lot of pressure. So I appreciate that.

Can I ask you guys, there are some names that I have There's only like one person that is will always and for the rest of my life be tied to that name and Hunter is one of them. Because I had a server at an Applebee's once and her name was Hunter. And I asked her, I didn't see anything vegetarian on the menu. And I said, I'm a vegetarian. And she was like, Oh, I'm a pescatarian. And I was like, Oh, okay. Is there anything that you recommend on the menu? And she said, Oh, I don't eat here.

I'm Do you Erin? Well, I do because it seemingly like every woman born between 1989 and 1994 is named Erin. There was literally a thousand Erin's in the improv scene. And even my team Wet Bus would, you know Erin Udick, our friend Raina's girlfriend. Yeah. She's close with your wife.

I kind of know her as her own person, but That's cool that you identified her that way. That's awesome. That's so good for you.

I'm talking about her in the context of wet bus. No, Erin, I fucked you on that.

I totally fucked you on that and you got fucked on that. Oh god.

So, I win. Erin, if you're listening to this, you need to like me 4% more than you like JPC and that's the rule.

How would the Italians handle this? Okay, you each slap one another with a glove.

Okay, great. And then, let's see. Sometimes it's just fun to have fun, you know what I'm saying?

But, Wetbust would refer to me with my first and last name, and say, like, other Erin, and then she's Erin, which I totally understand. Like, I have beta energy, or like orange starbursts, but I was like, I'm on the team. And yeah, I mean, she was the best of us and still is, but

I have to call you Keif in my house or else my wife doesn't know who the fuck I'm talking about.

Seriously?

Truly. But I mean Erin's her best friend so if I say Erin it's just like yeah.

Alright well maybe you have to say Shoo-ba-doo or can you just say Beverly?

Well Shoo-ba-doo means something different at our house because Shoo-ba-doo is my kids stuff. I named the bear Shoo-ba-doo.

That's my, I named the monkey Jack. A little nod, anyways.

We will, we will never do these bosses.

Yep, we'll never do them. Does your kid still call the bear Shubadoo?

Yep. And Shubadoo is like number one favorite stuffed animal.

JPC?

Yeah.

I'm not even kidding. I have such a hit rate with getting kids their stuffies. I think I've gotten maybe six. I just know how to pick them. I don't know. Energetically, I just know how to pick a stuffie.

I do think so. Sometimes they will really beat the shit out of Shoo-Boo-Doo. And I'm like, I don't know what the relationship here is. Like, you like this thing, right? But sometimes it's all about violence. So it's like, who knows? Yeah.

Adal, I haven't anointed your kid yet with a stuffy. But when I do, it's going to be something that you're going to be mad at me for the rest of your life. It's going to be like a little Danny DeVito.

I mean, that's one, redundant, and two, an embarrassment of riches. You did anoint them with stuffies. You got them some Australian, a delightful array, a cavalcade of Australian animals.

But those weren't like, those are to play with. I'm talking about, I'm going to find the one. I'm keeping an eye out, but it has to be ridiculous. And you have to be like, oh my God, I cannot believe.

If FAO Schwartz made like stuff, FAO Schwartz made like stuff to Individuos, I mean.

Are you buying them out?

I would buy two at least. Are you buying them out?

All right, here we go. I recently got some stupid pasta puns stuck in my head and decided to write a bunch more as a HRR category to exercise them. Wise. All of the answers are soundalikes to the names of pasta shapes slash varieties.

Okay.

Some of them are very dumb. And then they said, enjoy? Great. Thank you, Hunter. Here we go.

I will. I plan to enjoy.

I just thought of a fun little pun.

Please.

No, never mind. It's dumb.

Come on.

No! I was going to say my favorite Italian food is tomatoes, but I'm talking Marissa. I like it. Hey, I like it. I want her feet in my mouth, Erin. Step on my neck, Aunt May.

Aunt, yes you may. Erin's mouth has been wide open for like 40 seconds. I am aghast.

That is genuinely good. I think maybe you have a chance with her. You ever make a joke so good you actually end up being in the running for a woman's heart? Holy shit.

That's kind of my whole thing. I've solely relied on that.

And that's how I plan to win your wife away from you.

That's how I beat Shaq.

The posture for when you manipulate the results of a theatrical award.

Ooh, Tony. Rig the Tonys. Yes. Rig a Tonys. Oh, wow.

I would like to see a scene. JPC, we're going to have you be a theater actor. And Adal, you were in charge of all the envelopes backstage of the Tonys. And JPC, you're trying to switch out one of the cards to say your name.

Get it right, Warren. Get it right. They downgraded you to the Tonys. You got this. Just say what's on the envelope. Don't push it off to Annette Bening.

Huh? Hey, Mr. Biddy, are you all good? Is there anything that you need? I'm just checking in to make sure that you have everything you need.

Yeah, I just don't want a La La Land situation on my hands again.

No, for sure, yeah. So you've got all the categories memorized?

Mostly. Not memorized, but I have the envelopes here and I'll definitely read whatever's on there and not shirk my duties. Gotcha, okay. Try to make a comeback. Bullworth 2 is due. Hey everyone.

I'm, I'm Chester. So I just wanted to make sure. And it's Flint Wick. So I just sometimes I think that maybe someone might mispronounce my name. And I you know what, why don't I just give you? Because I did it phonetic. And I think that probably will be helpful to you.

And I'll just give you... You know, the Phoenicians were a very interesting people. Also, did you know that YourselfVein was probably about me? Is it vain for me to assume it was about me?

I did not know that. I probably won't remember it if I'm being 100% completely honest, but I appreciate you saying it. I'll just give you, I'll just leave you this envelope with my name phonetically spelled and I'll take that one. It says angry on it.

This is a red envelope that says angry on it. Let me open this here.

Yeah, East Side Story really offended a lot of Italians. Our portrayal was, how do I, how do you say it? Unkind!

Anyway... Hey, I'm presenting in a second. Where is the envelope? Is it? Wait, who do I take it from?

Uh, here, just take these here. Wait, you're both- You're both forcing- Ow, ow, ow! I take these and take mine?

Just take them.

Who do I shoot?

What? Sorry. Old man strength, what the fuck?

Wait, oh my god, I saw you in East Side Story. Yes! That was terrible. That was one of the worst pieces of theater I've ever seen.

Oh, you were probably there on a normal night.

But on a rare occasion- Italians vs. the Irish and you're trying to jump on the- on board with West Side Story's story? Come on. You didn't?

Yeah, that's a tale as old as time.

That's Beauty and the Beast.

Well, for sure, yeah. Now it is.

Oh, did you guys hear that Belle and Sebastian are dating? From Beauty and the Beast and Little Mermaid? Where are you getting your information? Well, I just saw a sign that said Belle and Sebastian and I. Great, I missed my cue and now they're not giving out Best Actor this year.

Thanks a lot, guys.

Wait, wait. I'll go on stage. I'll do my thing. I'll impress everyone.

Shouts go on stage. He trips, so we had the same idea. He really goes flying. He gets really hurt because two people hurt him.

Including one person with old man strength.

He goes right into the pit, breaks his collarbone.

Oriana DuBose comes out, raps about it.

I love getting really hurt because two people hurt you. Double the hurt, baby.

I love the idea of two people having the idea to shove someone at the same time and then it's like, oh no.

Double the strength. It's like a double bounce on a trampoline. Okay. The pasta for when the frontman of Rush goes for a relaxing beauty treatment.

Neil Pertuccini. The frontman, that's a drummer. The frontman is... I don't know. Spaghetti Lee?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Spaghetti...

Yeah. Spaghetti.

Spaghetti. What is it? Spaghetti Lee. Spaghetti Lee. Spa-geddy Lee.

Oh, Spa-geddy Lee.

Is that what it is? Yeah.

Spa-geddy.

Okay. That's fantastic. That's great.

Aren't they fine?

There's a poll on Geddy Lee though. I think Neil Peart is the only one from Rush that I ever would have... There's another famous person from Rush though, right? Is it just Geddy Lee and Neil Peart? I thought that there was one more whose name I would maybe know.

I would never know anything like this, so I can't help you right now. You don't like Canadian Frog Rock, Erin? I wish you so much joy, peace, and laughter.

Looking at the other people from Brush, I don't know them. I don't know them at all.

I feel like the band I have the most trouble with is Phish, where I'm like, I know Trey Anastasio, Anastasia, and then I've heard the other names like a thousand times, but they just don't stick in my head. Yeah, no, same.

Do you think people have that with Hey Riddle Riddle where they're like Adal Rifai and... I want to say Jorby? Jorby. I think the girl might be Jorby.

Jorby Seed? Jorby Seed. Jorby Seed. I think the guy on that show's name is Jorby Seed, but I only half listened.

Adam, Jorby Seed, and who's the third one?

Okay, I'm making notes myself to have Arnie Parrott do a new theme with Erin's name replaced with Jorby.

The relatable host is Jorby?

Jorby?

He says it with a question mark. He's trying to remember our name. All right. The pasta for when you trip at the edge of a high cliff.

I'm

Fall. Fall. Fall. Fall.

Fall silly, depending on how you fall.

Wow. That's awesome. Fall silly is good.

If you go limp, I guess, you fall silly.

Oh, I had a tagline. Fall silly, depending on how you fall.

Seeing a person fall off a cliff, we presume to their death, and you're like, silly fall.

A high cliff. It's just a high cliff. I watched The Departed the other night. At first I thought Riley was making fun of me.

Were you about to lose your Boston card? Yeah, I was. You had to, like, you had to overdo it.

I think we were making dinner or something and Riley was like, do you want to watch The Departed tonight? And I was like, ha ha. I'm getting made fun of because I watch The Departed too much. And he's like, no, really? And I was like, yes. But the part where Jack Nicholson says she fell funny after she shoots a woman is so dark and so good. Yeah. And he improvised that. Yikes.

I think he improvised more that they cut. Let's do, I would like to see a scene. Great. From what I've heard, shoving a loved one off a cliff is a way that some people murder on like hikes and stuff.

I would like to- They're called Alpine divorces.

Really? Yeah. Holy shit.

It's so common that there's a support group for people who almost had that happen to them. Just get a divorce, everybody. It's significantly easier.

The scene is, so you two are a couple, you're on a hike in sort of a just, you know, long trail, deserted. And you both are thinking that you're going to alpine divorce the other, and it's come to the point where you both turn to do the thing on the edge of the cliff.

What a view.

Yeah.

Gorgeous. You know, there's no amount of sunsets that I'm going to see that I'm going to think that I'm done seeing sunsets.

Exactly. I, I, um, I'm so glad that you suggested this vacation. This is kind of the perfect thing, uh, for, you know, for after we both cheated to kind of get the marriage back, you know, on track.

A hundred percent.

A hundred percent. So, so cool.

It's like a great last hurrah.

Alas, hurrah! That's... I was... Oh my God. You took the words right out of my mouth. Yes, alas, hurrah. That's kind of how I see this trip going, in a way.

You know, it wasn't the cheating.

For me either.

It wasn't... it was, um... It wasn't even the lying. Sorry, I'm trying to start my villain speech.

Oh.

It wasn't the cheating. It was finding out that you were Batman. Yeah. I know you're the Batman.

Huh. Why? Why do you think that?

Why do I think that? First of all... You think I'm not going to notice the apology bracelet on my own husband's wrist when I fight him on top of the Empire State Building?

Baby, lots of guys have butlers named Alfred, okay? If that's what you're... If you're doing this whole thing based off of my butler's name, then that's crazy.

I just said I saw your bracelet when I fought you on the Empire State Building. Aren't you wondering who I am?

Batman with a bracelet? Oh my god, you're Superman.

What?

No, I don't have it. I guess I don't have it. Who are you? And just remind me who you are.

You haven't figured it out? You were about to kill me and you didn't even know I was your nemesis? Qu'est-ce que c'est? What? Oh, on the cliff?

No. Baby, come on.

You're Batman.

Yeah, for sure.

I'm gonna push you off the side of the cliff now. And then you can yell, while you're falling, which Batman villain I am.

I'll probably stay silent. I got a lot of stuff on my mind, so I'll probably just stay silent the whole way down.

I'm... Oh, Riddler.

Riddler.

Are you fucking kidding me?

It's because of the clothes. Why do you dress like Riddler if you're not Riddler? I like purple.

Purple and green look so good on me.

Can I ask you a question?

What?

Is Sandman Batman or Spiderman?

I would rather you cheat on me a thousand times than not put the pieces together.

Done.

Deal. I was the joker.

You were the joker. Fuck me, man. I'm so bad at math, you know? But yes, the joker. I would have gotten there eventually.

Sort of leaning.

Vogue. Is it Vogue? Is that it?

No. You might not know this. It's a woman's name.

It's a woman's L. Yeah, L. L. Tortelli. I told Telly.

But you sent a letter, so you... Wrote... Wrote Telly.

Wrote L. Wrote L. Wrote L. Oh. A different pasta. Just shouting pastas now.

Okay, the pasta for when you propel an undersized boat with an undersized oar.

Kayakatini. Oh, kayakatini.

Tinigatini, but... Bukatini, botatini.

Canutini, canutini.

How do you propel it with a... Rotini. Rotini.

The thing I said one second ago, rotini. I know. That's also what my favorite characters in Star Wars say.

Rotini. And then here's the last one from Hunter. The apostrophe when you do a noisy dance number inspired by a Spanish sparkling wine.

Oh. Lambrusca.

This is, I think, one of my favorite pastas to say, because, Adal, you say it, and you really put... Cack-yol-peppy!

That's... Erin, that has to be it.

No, no, a different one. No, it's the other one that you say that makes me laugh.

Bucatini.

No.

What is it?

It's a Spanish- You did a delivery of this pasta line in a scene maybe three years ago, Adal.

Tortellini. Cavatappi.

Cavatappi. Cavatappi.

Cavatappi. Cavatappi.

But you said it in such a funny way in a scene that we did three years ago that now every time I say that pasta I say it in the way you said it. Cavatappi.

Well, Hunter, many cavatappis to you. Thank you for sending those riddles in.

And many more. We're going to be back with a very special guest after this break. See you next week.

Erin's falling off the cliff. No.

A high fell.

1, 2, 3, 4. Hey Riddle Riddle. Hey Riddle Riddle.

You guys, I'm feeling a little unchallenged. I feel like I want some of these puzzles and riddles to be a little bit harder, a little bit more well thought out.

Any ideas on what I could do? Erin walks on four legs, meows, eats cat food, shit. Let's just bring in Sandy. We have Sandy here. Wait, is it me? It's Sandy. Sandy, thank you for swinging by just in the nick of time to bring us some professional riddles. Oh, what was going to happen if I didn't show up?

You're probably going to give up, quit.

Eat cat food on the floor or whatever we usually do.

What have you prepared for us today? Oh, I have puzzles. I have a puzzle. I have several prompts in this puzzle. This puzzle is called Same Name. And the way it works is I have collected a bunch of names of famous people who have the same first name but different last names. And I have written a clue about both of their last names. And there's also a word in the clue that rhymes with their first name, just to give you an extra flavor, extra layer of hinting. So for example, if I said, I'm yearning to do some Swiss bouldering soon. Uh, the answer to this would be, uh, a word for boulder and a word for yearning are both last names of someone whose name rhymes with Swiss. Can you come up with that? Chris Rock. Chris Rock! Chris Rock and Chris Pine.

Pine! Which means yearning.

It also is something you might see while you're bouldering, I guess. So that's the game.

If you're bouldering in pine country, which I want to do. Right.

I'd like to go bouldering in pine country if you catch my drift. I'd like to fuck Chris Pine.

I'd like to fuck Chris Pine. Thanks guys. I wasn't catching your drift.

A good looking man who has like aged into a great looking man. Oh yeah. Chris Fine. Chris Fine. Chris Fine. Chris Fine.

We all call him like a fine one.

Say that.

Should we just do a Chris Pine-themed puzzle? I can pivot.

I love Chris Pine. Also, I feel like Chris Pine would be very good at our show. I think if we ever got Chris Pine on, I'd have to tone down the horniness.

No, I'm nervous.

He'd be good at the riddles.

I think he'd be good because we'd pose a riddle, like Erin would be Old Man Puzzles, and she'd say the clues, and he'd say anything, and Erin would be like, haha, yeah, that's it.

He'd say that to a handsome guy?

I'm trying to form an insult in my head of like you guys don't know how to react because I've never had someone handsome on the show before.

Give me like 20 minutes. That's good. That's kind of shitty to Sandy while he's here.

No, no, not Sandy though.

I know, but maybe just save that for a time where we don't have another guy who kind of told me in confidence he's really worried about what Erin thinks.

Is Chris Pine the most handsome Chris and the most handsome person named after wood?

Yes.

Ooh.

Ooh, what are other wood names though?

Erin Taylor Johnson.

Oh, what about... Christopher Elm. Not a real person.

James Woods. Now, James Woods, no, but Hades? No. Yes. Hades? Yeah, doesn't James Woods play Hades in the animated Hercules? Oh, you're probably familiar with the Spanish Hercules or the French Hercules, Andy. Call back to a month ago.

I was thinking about Hadestown.

Alright, I'm ready, I'm ready.

Alright, so let's keep going. Question one. Even the leader likes to sell his wares aggressively. So one word rhymes with the first name and the other parts of the clue, clue to last names. Can you read it one more time? Even the leader likes to sell his wares. Stephen? It's Stephen?

It is.

And is where's the last name? Where's the word that rhymes with last name? It's selling where's aggressively is the clue.

Seagal. Steven.

Wait, I'm so fucking dumb. Where do we get Steven from? Even. Even. I said even. Even the leader. Okay, gotcha, gotcha. And the leader is another one.

Boss. Steven. Think bigger leader. Thanks for tuning in.

Steven Continent.

Just think of Stevens maybe. It's more Steven than Steven Gutenberg.

Oh yeah, Gutenberg rival.

What are some modern Stevens? Okay wait, what's the other word? Selling wares aggressively.

Root, Stephen Hawking.

It's Hawking.

It is.

Oh, Hawking, like Hawking. Hawking and King. Oh yeah, Hawking. King is the leader, and Hawking is the seller. Oh, fuck.

God damn, that's good.

All right. Her penmanship is too thin and blocky to be able to read. Her penmanship is too thin and blocky

It's obviously blocky, so we're looking for a woman named... Sarah Chalky.

Sarah Chalky.

Penmanship.

The first name is the rhyme. So it's one word in this sentence. It's the first name rhymes. Jen? But I would go for... I would go for... Oh, Jen. ...defining the last names. It's not Jen. Jenmanship?

What was the second half of this? What was the last name part?

To thin. To thin. Oh, and blocky.

Blocky feels like one of them. Rocky?

Cube? Blocky is the clue for one of them.

Blocky, so a last name that rhymes with Blocky.

There's a homophone going on here, too, for the penmanship part. Is it sunny and square?

Sunny and square. Adal?

Take me!

Take me! Pick me! Choose me! Love me! The rhyme is thin.

So the woman's name rhymes with win. With thin.

With thin. With thin, I'm sorry. Gin? Jennifer? No.

Alright, and blocky is a word that means actually the opposite of thin. Thank you for It's cool that we got it without any help from Sandy.

What a team we make.

All right, here's one. Both of these people are deceased. I've seen a stand-up comic guy who is getting crazier and crazier. I've seen a stand-up comic guy who's getting crazier and crazier. I've seen a stand-up comic guy who's getting crazier and crazier. It's a kind of a slang term for a comic. Penis. And what does it mean to get crazier and crazier?

Wild. Wilder. Gene Wilder. Gene Wilder.

Gene Simmons. Hackman. Hackman. You're a hackman. Hackman.

Yes.

How about, I prepared this dish of pork and venison. It was heaven. Kevin Bacon and Kevin Hart. Her interest went straight from shrubs to lichen. Today's episode is

Yeah.

Kate Bush, obviously.

That's why I thought that you meant moss for bush. But that moss is not bush. Does that make sense?

No. No. Now we're talking about pines and bush and moss. Should get them all together in the forest and have a campfire. Yeah. No waking. Just s'mores. Awake. How about I have a knack to only draw in monochrome. Now

All Ska fans wear Quaid Vans.

I was skanking in my Quaid Vans. Quaid is close enough to plaid in spelling that I kind of thought you were telling the truth. Like Quaid, like black and white patterns sort of like plaid. And then Quaid is sort of like plaid. And it's like, that seems like a real fact.

I'm not smart enough to have an example of this, but you know how like there are some words that are like, that sound so similar and they mean the same thing? Sure.

No.

Okay, well if I, hey Sandy, if I were smart enough to have an example of it, man. We could just say things now, right? I really, I would really knock you on your ass for that.

Sandy, it's really nice to have another smart person on the show with me for a change. I'm really refreshed by it.

Scott versus Quaid is like Roe versus Wade.

Supposedly and supposedly different words, but they mean almost the exact same thing.

Are you talking about, you're saying about words that are almost the same, but they mean the same thing?

Yeah, words that sound very similar, but mean very similar and mean like the same thing. Someone out there listening, in listening land, will have something for this.

I think out of anyone it would be Sandy. I don't know what you're talking about, however it reminds me of something called false friends. Do you know about false friends?

Oh yeah, I know about false friends, and I'm looking at two of them.

Oh come on. Just because we think you're dumb and we're not defending you. Come on.

Welcome back to

So for example, one of the more famous ones is embarazada in Spanish sounds like you mean you're embarrassed, but it actually means pregnant. So it's the kind of word where you read it, you're like, I know enough Spanish to know that that's probably got the same root as embarrassed, so it probably means embarrassed. No, it means pregnant. It's totally different. Interesting. Or like how pain in French, if you use the word pain in French, it means bread.

A-ba-pa. A-ba-pa.

Ah, I broke my leg. A-ban-pan.

A-ban-pan means the good pain. Which is the sensation you get when you have celiac and you eat bread. Is that a spinoff?

The more you know. We're gonna get shut down. By who?

In Denmark, the word for food is M-A-D. So it seems like you get angry every time you go to the store.

Wow, that's fun.

Yeah. All right. Well, enough of that fun. Let's move back to these dumb puzzles. Question whatever we're on. I took a long, calm boat ride to the Netherlands. Long, calm boat ride.

Swiss.

And how do you get there? It's a long boat ride across the Atlantic.

Cruise.

You gotta take a cruise. Tom Cruise. Oh my lord. Oh my lord. We've heard of Tom Cruise, right?

No.

Oh, I'm sorry.

He's like the adult Tom Holland, right?

You should get Tom Cruise on your show. That would be fun. He'd be great.

What would we ask him?

I think we'd be given a list of what I Tom Cruise is one of those people that I never want to ever have any interaction with because I like the way he is in my mind and Everything every time I learn anything about him.

I'm like, yeah, yeah Tom makes movies very very well, and I don't know anything else about him All his movies are shot like Lord of the Rings Frodo and Gandalf scenes like it's all I Oh, forced perspective. Tom is like six inches in front of the camera, and then whoever else is like 20 feet back. Right. Or that he's standing on an apple crate. Yeah, exactly.

In my head, I was like, you think that that's what, like, I thought you flipped it. And you're like, that's why he seems so short.

Okay, Erin, can you imagine Lord of the Rings, but instead of Elijah Wood, it's Tom Cruise?

Yes. Yes. We keep telling you yes.

Can you imagine him running to a mortar?

Yes.

That's all I can imagine.

I'm ready for another.

I'm ready.

I'm warmed up.

All right. You owe me for this electrified soup.

Don't come getting out of my cold dead hands, bastard.

That's the point. Soup. Bill. Soup.

I got a large endowment to study new car mechanics. Thanks for watching.

And we'll see you next time. He seems very gregarious. He does. I don't think he can do anything.

Not long ago, we reviewed Sheep Detectives. Oh. Did you see Sheep Detectives?

No, but I've heard it's delightful.

It's delightful. It's great. I won't spoil it for you. Too sad. Don't watch. Too sad, don't watch for sure. The one thing I will say about it is, God, I would have loved more Hugh Jackman in that movie. I understand why there couldn't be, but what a presence.

I did an event once, I think in Dallas, and I went straight from the airport to my event and then straight to the airport afterwards, so I was there for a few hours. But this event was on like the 15th floor of this high-rise… Book depository? Jesus Christ.

Come on! Come on!

It was weird. There were all these rifles laid about. Some things are off here. This office building, and I was looking out the window, and there was like an amphitheater, or maybe it was the stadium, but a few blocks away it was lit up, so clearly something was going on. So I was like, I wonder what's going on, because it's clearly not a football day. And I looked it up, and it was Hugh Jackman on tour, which I did not know was a thing he did. It was just him doing his stuff. Showtunes and stuff. Showtunes and stuff. But he's got a big following. That's cool. Good for him. All right. A couple more? Oh yeah, for sure. All right, let's keep it going. This toupee-wearing Detroit Piston got the last shot in at the buzzer. Went through some hoops for this one. Oh, that's a funny plan word. God damn it.

Kristen.

Bell. Last shot at the buzzer. Bell. Buzzer. Bell. Kristen Bell. Whig and Bell. Whig and Bell. Whig and Bell. The attorneys at law. The Whig and Bell, I think is a pub.

Now this will be dated. Did you guys hear Kristen Bell's newest single? No. So the entire Frozen soundtrack has been big in my house lately. But the other day, Mariah played me, I guess. Look, I didn't do my research on this. This is something that my wife played me, but she was like, this is Kristen Bell singing, and it sounds like A.I. I'm not sure if Kristen Bell used A.I. to write a song, but it doesn't sound like Kristen Bell. It sounds like somebody fed Kristen Bell's voice through a computer. And we listened to like 45 seconds of it. I was like, But she has a great voice, right? I don't understand what people are doing when they have beautiful voices.

Huh. I'll get to the bottom of that. Try to find out anything about it.

Do your research on that everybody. How about this one? Be a kind dude and you'll earn your place in history well after you're gone. Jude Law? Jude? No. Jude? Dude? Dude is not the rhyme. Jude Law is good though. Are there other Judes? Jude... From the Beatles? Do you kind dude and... Kind? Kind dude and you'll earn your place in history well after you're gone.

Gone?

Sean? It could be Sean.

Okay. Uh, gone could, gone? Is it gone, Sandy? It is gone, is the writing. Gone. Gone.

That's right. That's right.

Bunnies avoid death and store their money here.

Burrow. Bunnies.

Burrow is not right, but you're thinking correctly. Ooh. The fuck?

Bunnies.

Avoid. Dig. Bank might be a place you store your money. Tyra Banks. Let's go back from there. Elizabeth Banks. It is Elizabeth Banks. What was the Elizabeth part of that? Death. Elizabeth. Death. Elizabeth. Death. Okay. You try rhyming Elizabeth. I dare you. I don't want to.

Bunny. I don't know!

Bunnies.

Oh, hair!

Burrows is one word. There's another word for it. Hole. Elizabeth Hole. You got two data points here. It's where bunnies live and it's in Elizabeth. Elizabeth Cage. She is not in entertainment.

She's not an entertainment.

So is this just a person you know? It's just a person I know.

Someone went to high school with Sandy. Elizabeth Terrarium?

Is it Elizabeth Terrarium?

Wait, where do bunnies live? It's not a burrow? It's another word for burrow?

Historical in the sense that they are making history, but they're not dead. Elizabeth Warren. Warren! They live in a warren. I was thinking habitat, but a group of bunnies is a warren, right? Now,

Yeah, I've written a lot of those.

He's busy.

And what's the other one, Bill?

What did you say? What did you say, Adal? Bill Withers. Bill Withers.

Take it from me, this cryptid is full of pep today.

Take it from me, Sandy and Jake.

Cryptid. Cryptid has to be one of the rhyming words, right?

I just realized this includes someone who is famous, but I wouldn't have been able to get it. So I was looking up people with this first name, sorry. Anyway, take it from me, this cryptid is full of pep today. And Sandy said Jake is not the- Jake is not right. Pep? Is it pep like a chef? No, no, take is the right rhyme, but it's not Jake.

Oh, take is the right rhyme. And it's not Jake. Bake, bake, rake? Cake? What's another word for having a lot of pep? Zip.

Pizzazz.

Rhymes with Jake? Energy, pep, spirits. Coke.

What's another word that rhymes? Mike Piazza. No, you're feeling very... It's an adjective. You're very... Energetic. Jazzy. Jazzed.

And Blake... Krypton. Griffin. Wow.

Well, that tuckered me right out. Good night.

Wait, wait. Hold on. Which one, Sandy? Which one was the one that you weren't going to be able to get?

Griffin. I don't know who Blake Griffin is. He's a former Detroit Piston, ironically. Is he? Mm-hmm.

Okay. And he was married to Ryan Reynolds. They got married on a plantation, Sandy. How do you not know this?

Oh, I unsubscribed from Plantation Weekly years ago.

Yeah. Well, thank you so much, Sandy. Where can people find you? Where can people follow along with the shit that you do?

Well, as always, I'm making rattles at rattle.quest, which is an anagram of ladder. It's a daily word game that I make where you are transforming words into other words. It's very wordplay heavy. I'm still making that. As of today, when we record this, I have no idea when this is coming out, so I might be dead by then or have quit making these. I also do corporate team building and other puzzle-based things at Mystery League, which you can Google, Mystery League. Although there is a public access, not public access, a public television TV series for kids called The Mystery League, I think in Alabama. I keep getting Google alerts for them. So should I sue? I don't know.

Yeah, for sure.

Oh, yeah. Alabama public television has deep pockets, Sandy. You go get yours. Next time we see you, you're gonna be living on a fucking golden castle.

They're gonna make me subscribe back to Plantation Weekly, Dan.

All right. Bye, Sadie. Bye.

Adal, anything to plug for Mona? Anything you want to chat about? Anything you want to get off your chest?

I encourage everyone to get off your phone.

Don't do that.

Shrug off work. Don't do that. And get over to Italy. Glorious Italy. The countryside. Roma. Venice. The leading tower of Pisa. Everywhere you go in Italy is going to be good food, great people, and I just want to really promote their tourism.

Yeah, and we have no stake in that.

We have no stake in that.

We love you, Italy.

We love you, Italy. Erin, is there anything you want to plug or promote?

If you're in Los Angeles, I have a variety show that I do out here called Quality Time. That is one Sunday every month. It's a true variety show. I'm really proud of it. If you want to check us out on Instagram to figure out the details, that's where you'll find it. Also, I want to plug the mandatory improv show. It's at the Weejus Theater at 730 on Tuesdays now. It's run by a couple Chicago improvisers. And I always have the best time when I go. And if you're just in LA and you're looking for something to do, but also if you're a young improviser in LA, I think that a lot of times people will reach out to me and ask me what shows to see and where to meet people. I would say that is the show to show up for and just introduce yourself to the hosts and they will guide you towards the right people. It's a really great show and I can't recommend it enough. GBC, any review to read or anything you'd love to plug?

Yeah, let's read a review. If you want to get a five-star review featured on the show, just leave us one. Anywhere you leave reviews, this one is from Steve the Raccoon. It says, Finally, a podcast that speaks to me, in parentheses, a raccoon. I, a raccoon, who gained sentience when struck by lightning whilst peeing in an Italian fountain. Wow, Italian. Look at that. This is from over a year ago. We're aligned.

We're aligned in our life path.

have been looking for podcasts that love raccoons and dunk on possums. Finally, a podcast that gets it. Well, hey, thank you, Steve, the raccoon. Maybe even an Italian raccoon doesn't say in the review, but could be peeing in an Italian fountain. Probably not a lot of those around, you know what I'm saying?

Amen. Hot dogs, even. The hot dogs.

How are you parents in the music?
