Hey Riddle Riddle

Headgumart19.com

Riddles! Puzzles! WhoDunnits! Adal Rifai, Erin Keif and John Patrick Coan, three of Chicago's most overrated improvisers, are on the case to solve every riddle, puzzle, brain-teaser, and head-scratcher known to humanity. Some riddles are almost impossible, some are absolutely improbable, and some simply have not aged well. And if you don't like riddles, don't worry! This podcast is barely about them!

The first ten minutes of this episode are not for emetophobes! Unless you get a pass for it being about dogs. Also we talk about accents and how we cannot really do them. All that plus a day on the set of a new hit show, some harmless hijinks at the bottom of the sea, a daring spy on a dangerous mission, a venomous asp with a harmless ask, a wholesome party with some horrible participants, and a scene where two people are in a restaurant. Yeah, I kinda phoned in that last one. Either way, have a...

Okay, hear us out: what about a podcast where three improvisers sorta do riddles? Sound good? Well, open your eyes because it's real! That's right, it's this show.

So gather round the old yule log and relive some of your favorite Hey Riddle Riddle memories.
