I've been for a walk. I've been for a walk. Time! On a winter's day. On a winter's day. Snails. Are they saying Anna Wintour's Day? Okay, that was our best attempt at California Dreamin'

which is where this live show took place. Wow. Yeah, it was our LA live show with fourth host, Janet Varney. Way back a fricking couple months ago. That was such a fun show. Erin, I believe you were sort of possessed by the ghost of Shirley Temple

and you did a little tap dance. I did, at Dynasty Typewriter. It hurt, it hurt. And of course you can tap dance on over to heyriddle.com slash live to check out tickets for our upcoming East Coast tour. That's gonna be Thursday, October 3rd in Boston, Saturday, October 5th in Washington DC,

Yes. We're so happy to have you here on this Sunday evening for Hey Riddle Riddle. My name is Dax, I'll be your technical navigator for the evening here at Dynasty Typewriter, our 98 year old theater. Ooh, that's right. We have an unfairly good historical word that Shirley Temple learned to tap dance on this very stage. I learned how to put in a disco ball.

Oh! Thanks. Who's been here to Dynasty Typewriter before? Whoo! Oh, quite a few of you. Well, you were probably enchanted by our patented Dinah Scooch seating system. Thrusting your hips six inches forward unexpectedly.

Are you totally obsessed with Dinah Scooch seating like I am? Well, there are no stickers available. Make memories with your butt. Well, just like the rest of civilization, we have a few rules. Go ahead and extinguish your cell phones. Place your e-cigarettes on vibrate. Remember, there's no talking or heckling during the show. There may be an interactive portion.

We'll bring you a mic if that happens. And then interact with gleeful joy. That's right. All right. Well, who's ready to get this show rolling, get these riddles riddling? All right, make some noise for Hey Riddle Riddle! I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more.

I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more.

I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. I'm gonna go get some more. Take me to the, take me to the. Woo. No, never heard the softs fade out. Wow. Hi everybody. Hi. Hi Rat Chat. Rat Chat, this is Addle. Sorry guys, just so we're clear, Addle's finishing a movie.

It's the story of Frank Sinatra. Yeah, so the time change fucked us up, but he really has to finish because it's like, he's never gonna see the end of it. Oh, my bad. Hey, welcome everybody to Hey Riddle Riddle Live in Los Angeles! Let me try that again. This is Adolf. This is Janet.

That's JPC. And that's Aaron Keefe. We're so happy to see you here. Just with a round of applause, who here is familiar with the podcast? There you are. There you are. Who's not? Who's not? Oh.

Uh-oh. All right. Ghostly. Uh-oh. Ooh. And I know some future ex-significant others. Yes. I know this is fairly recent, but I

think I'd be silly not to ask, do we have any answer hogs in the audience? Answer hogs? I heard an oink oink, but no bitch, so that's Yeah. A true answer hog. I honestly don't remember, is an answer hog something? I don't know what that is. Is it good to be an answer hog?

I know it's, I'm like, okay, it's good to be an answer hog. And answer hogs, of course, exclaim oink oink bitch. Oh, yes. I'm not caught up on the show. When was this? I'm in like 2022. Backstage before we came out here, I thought I would say something nice.

And I looked over at them and I said, hey, I just want to let you know I love being on the show and I'm really proud that I get to do this. And then JPC said, talk to me in 90 minutes and see how you feel. And I translated, he loves you too, Aaron. The one thing that we forget when we do a Hey Riddle live show, we get very excited because we love seeing you, we love doing this live. But then we remember we do actually have to come out here and do riddles. And it is like it's a chilling moment. Your gut sinks when you're like, oh no.

Yeah, because sometimes they're really hard to do. Right, and two moments happen at once. You remember you have to do riddles, and then people are adjusting to our faces and our voices, and they don't look quite right to them. So everyone's like, that's not what I've been picturing in my head. And then you're like, oh god, and I have to do riddles,

and it's a very strange thing in the air between us. Except for Janet, because Janet's on TV. So then you're like, yeah, that's Janet. Must be nice. Yeah. Must be nice. Did someone say Shirley Temple learned to tap dance on this stage?

I think it was a lie. Oh. No, it's true. Is that what happened? It's a hundred percent true as far as we know. Okay, great. I'm gonna posit something and I think we'll let the audience decide. Sure. as far as we know. Okay, I'm gonna posit something

and I think we'll let the audience decide. Sure. Would folks like to see Erin learn to tap dance on this stage? Erin, do you mind? Okay guys, guys, one thing you need to know about Erin is she's very shy and she'll only do it to complete silence. Wait, who's teaching? Are you teaching Erin how to tap dance?

Oh, no, no, no. Of course he is. Give it up for Adel Refai! World famous tap dance teacher. Oh, there it is. Oh, yeah. Yes. And there it is. Oh yeah. Yes and Shuffleball. I wonder if I tapped for eight years. There it is. There it is. yeah I think the trouble is I don't know which mic is your that was awesome I don't have to move for the rest of the night no this is exciting because I have always wanted to be able to tap dance and I've just it's not like juggling it's not something that I've

ever been able to retain even though people have tried to teach me but this is gonna stick. Well here's a fun thing I just got a connection to someone who teaches private tap dance lessons one-on-one I think I'm gonna do it should we go together. Can it be two on one? Yes. I'm in. Okay I would do that. I'm gonna say right now that is a murderer. Oh you actually know I do private tap dance lessons and you're like what's the what are the changes? I mean a professional tap dancer in the grocery store at night. It said very real very safe tap dance lessons on Craigslist. Perfect. I'm gonna give it a shot. Lots of five star reviews for those. Okay that's fine. One thing that we did want to mention is eventually, eventually

we will be doing riddles on the show and we have a rule for the live show which is if you know the answer or think you know the answer to the riddle but you shout it out you have to pay one of Aaron's utility bills. But if you know the answer and you don't shout it out, what you can do is you can go like this. You can even do this. You can do that to someone, but it has to be to someone you don't know.

It's gotta be someone you don't know. Yeah, it's gotta be something you don't know and you gotta do it a lot of times. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got a question for the group. Did anyone come from very far away? And where did you come from? I just saw one person do this.

I saw one person go. Sorry, where did you say? New York City for this? New York City? You did? That's really nice. Don't tell them you're gonna be there soon. Ow.

How long is the flight from New York? For us, we actually won the comic for eight hours. Oh no. No. Eight hours? What podcast did you think this was? Oh, eight hours? What podcast did you think this was? I mean, it's a podcast.

Any podcast is too much, right? I thought that was like they couldn't do that to us anymore. You couldn't. Isn't that a thing? Wasn't it like you have to, you get paid $50 or something. If they keep on. Thank you for that. Does anyone else have a sadder story?

If they do, we're going gonna get them a wireless microphone. Okay. So they can be heard on this podcast. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I know. Eight hours? No. Yeah, we're really, really sorry that that happened to you. Can we get, can we give them some, can we give them some in show credits?

Yeah, absolutely. Ooh, how many tokens? Whatever the in-flight meal is tonight, you're going to have, we'll get you three of them. Yeah. That's only fair. That's only fair. I think so.

Anyone else come from very far away? I'll say in the chat, while you're looking here in the chat, we have people from Newfoundland, Canada. Oh, they're kicking your asses. Oh, no. All these people in different countries. A lot of Australia, Boston,land, Canada. Oh, they're kicking your asses. Oh, no. All these people in different countries. A lot of Australia, Boston, Arkansas, Oregon. Boston, Arkansas?

Wow. Boston, Arkansas. That might be the most racist town in America. Can you think of a worse place in Boston, Arkansas? Oh, boy. 1, 2, 3, 4, Hate Riddle Riddle's Clue Crew. Listen to the rest of the episode now by starting your free seven day trial at patreon.com
