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!

If you like songs about the beach, oh boy, do we have the episode for you! All that plus we travel back to a time when homes were affordable, a deadly and dire situation and a last minute phone call, a father and son bonding on the open sea, some of our cartoon favorites a little further down the road, two scientists cooking up something sweet, and another restaurant scene.

#136: Frodoian Slip

We have a humdinger of an episode for you all this week. We pivot into being a home improvement podcast and then immediately back off of that and recommit to being a riddle podcast forever! But failing that, we have some pitches for TV shows that we could host. Are you listening, Hollyweird?! All that and a storybook encounter with a very unexpected ending, a dwelling that's swelling with love, two long lost loves find something new in each other, a clandestine dinner that has no winners, and an...

#133: Riddleternational Gibberish

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.

Ok, that's a wrap on 2020! What can we say about a year like this that hasn't already been said, right? Hey, speaking of things that have already been said: a clip show! So gather round the old yule log and relive some of your favorite Hey Riddle Riddle memories. This isn't like the Best Of ep we did in 2018, it's full of real actual clips that happened during this year.
