I hate to admit this, but the frequent lateral thinking examples presented by the hosts of hey riddle riddle broke my brain in just the right way. I had to take a certification test at work and I was able to successfully answer a trick question that helped me pass and I got a raise. I can’t recommend this as a study solution for everyone, but it helped me so who knows. Give it a try.

Been listening since the first episode released and this show has been such an important part of my week ever since. Each episode is a delightful mess of clever puzzles, not so clever riddles, groans, and unhinged improv scenes. Erin’s ability to rap is delightful, Adal’s puns cured my depression, JPC has an innate ability to turn literally anything into pure chaos, Casey is basically a god, and Janet is an absolute treasure. That being said their dynamic is genuinely something to behold. Their flow seems so effortless and it makes you feel included in the humor the whole time you listen. 11/10 would recommend to everyone I know. Everyone…

They put Rehka in there!!!! Five stars!!! More podcasts should put Rehka Shankar in them! That is such an excellent element of the podcasting genre! Erin is also very good and I like her very much too :)

Currently living abroad so this podcast is My Friend and yall walk around Paris with me all the time. Erin laughing with her friends reminds me that there’s good in this world and cures my depression.

On my way to work on a Wednesday morning I was trying to think of what cars my friends had in high school. Dodge Dungaroo? Dungaree? No, whatever I’ll look it up later. I get to work, turn on the podcast and 10-15 minutes in Adal mumbles ‘Dodge Durango’…..What? How? Life isn’t real, but this podcast is good.

I am 25 and Listening to this podcast for the past 5 years has made me realize that people are never too old to make pee pee and poo poo jokes (or jokes a 12 yo boy would make in a locker room) Thank you for being real and being real silly 💗 I have listened to every episode multiple times and I laugh out loud at least once every time I listen !

On a road trip from Ohio to Texas with my husband and daughter because it seemed like a good idea in 2023 when we talked about it. Flash forward to now in 2024, and it turns out, not so much. Anyway, we’ve listened to Hey Riddle Riddle and Clue Crew for the whole drive there and back. Non-stop. In fact, we’re still on this road trip and still listening. There is no end. We’re trapped. Help! Someone say Jupiter! Neptune! Venus?

I came for the riddies. I stayed for the puzzies. Thanks Uncle Santa! Keifin it real! Oh, and you too, Adal.

This is hands-down my favorite podcast. I'm not necessarily the biggest fan of riddles, but I sure do get excited when I occasionally guess the answer before the hosts! Erin, JPC, and Adal are just simply some of my favorite people to listen to..

Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Pigs orgasm for 90 minutes. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars. Five stars.

Many are funny, but few podcasts make me actually laugh out loud as often as this one does. Yesterday I was aliquoting some urine at work and nearly spilled it all over thanks to my shoulders shaking with laughter. Thank you for being hazardous to both myself and the people around me, it’s been an absolute delight. Much love!

Lots and lots of laughter! (Never said it was a good riddle). Thank you so very much for being you. Also Arnie Parrot’s songs are awesome! I love Review Crew. Keep up making Erin laugh. It’s contagious, leads me into giggles every time.

I, JPC, think that way Adal eats Kit Kats is completely fine, in fact, it is the superior method.

Big Ups 🗿👍

If you go back and listen to early episodes of Hey Riddle Riddle, you may find that the hosts seem unenthusiastic about riddles despite their instant chemistry with one another. The format of the show wasn't yet established, and so there was little improv and a good amount of banter. The podcast has since become primarily improv, with prompts coming from the conversation generated by these often incomprehensible riddles. The enthusiasm for the riddles remains roughly the same. But while you may hear a fun and cute podcast episode about bad riddles, I hear a nightmarish entry in the anthology that really ought to be titled "The Entropic Consequence of Inane Riddles on an Innocent Mind". In the first few episodes of the show, Erin is often the least reserved in her comedy, with high energy and a loose filter, which forces the other hosts to keep up with her. Unfortunately, the Hey Riddle Riddle recordings happen in an isolated system, which means that as high grade comedy is being used up, the chaotic nature of the system as a whole is increasing. Normally one could assume that the three hosts' chaos reserves are approaching equilibrium, save for the all-too-serious truth that Adal is Maxwell's Demon, and routes the chaos from Erin to JPC in order to promote a balance. This has resulted in the complete mental deterioration of Erin, who now sounds like she is constantly a breath away from asking why people have started crossing the street to avoid her. Listening to Erin and JPC doing scenes together feels like watching two hostage negotiators kidnap each other's children, while Adal plays both the police and the kids. Frankly, the show couldn't be funnier. Five stars.

Adal, Erin, and JPC are all easily among my top 5 favorite Hey Riddle Riddle hosts.

This is really a review for the clue crew patreon but im doing it here. this summer i had a bit of a menty b and could only listen to three things without crying. for two weeks all i listened to were the following three things: 1. The Wet Wet Waters ep of the patreon 2. JPC’s guided meditation 3. Dragula by Rob Zombie played at volume unfit for human consumption all this to say. buy the guided meditation pack! you wont regret it!!! -Ellen from Hingham (we had the same 4th grade teacher)

Love the show but I’m confused by something, I’m not sure if J.P.C actually has a child or this is a bit going on too long. Even if JPC posted a picture with a child I would just assume he had stolen someone else’s kid. At this point I don’t know if any proof would convince me this “adult” is actually a father, I would just think he’s really committed to the bit. Anyway love the show and have been listening since the show was announced on magic tavern. -keytothehous

May have some side effects, but production doesn’t get shut down whenever the DEA feels the need to prove that it’s a big kid agency that everyone needs to take seriously or else! >:( so that’s a plus

Don’t get me wrong, the passion that hosts have for making their craft entertaining is wonderful. They’re chemistry makes the show work and without them no amount of scientific rigor could redeem it. But I can’t in good conscious tell people this is a science show when they have chosen to softly sunset their primary fact seeking segment, ‘animal parade,’ sometimes only doing the theme song and not the segment. Even its most recent appearance was about the best ways to prepare minions, instead of the trivia the show has become known for, like “plants can scream.” A podcast which I love, but “science show” is just a tough sell.

my favorite group of unhinged comedians love this pod so much!! love how the riddle section has devolved into just vehicles for scenes and jokes never change 🫶🏾

I don’t recommend listening to this podcast. I can’t do mundane tasks without listening to the insane babbling of the clue crew anymore. I try to avoid explaining why I’m laughing in public because I don’t want to seem like a maniac who listens to a “riddle podcast”. Love the show though guys. XOXO

A silly goofy time. I feel like a medieval king being entertained by his 3 court jesters.

hi, i’m jpc and i’m a huge—wait, sorry guys, spaghetti just walked in. that’s odd, i could’ve sworn i closed the—oh, she has a note taped to her. this is so weird, but i guess i should read it right? let me just—huh. “we know what you did in tuscon.” … haha wow what a stupid thing for someone to write, i mean i’ve never even been to tuscon, right guys? i’ve never told you i was in tuscon right? because i never have been, just to be clear. you know what, forget tuscon, let’s get back to the five-star review. hi, i’m jpc and i’m a huge butt. haha classic review, you really got me with that one, anyway moving on, erin, adal, do you have any affordable lawyers you would like to plug?

So, I work at a job where I am luckily able to listen to whatever I want. Well, I am going through a relisten of this podcast, and I am laughing at all these episode all over again… but apparently every time my manager walks by me at work, a funny bit comes around (which is quite often) and I laugh. My headphones are hidden most of the time so my manager think I am laughing at her. I constantly have to apologize and point to my ears saying “It’s the riddle podcast”… well she eventually checked it out to make sure I wasn’t pulling her leg and low and behold she is a fan too! So I guess what I am saying between paranoia and listening to this podcast one out of one managers choose Hey Riddle Riddle!

Nutella is the honey of chocolate bees

I’m using JPCs plug time to request that someone do a wellness check on my Girlfriends Dad. He’s quite old and hasn’t returned any of my phone calls. If you’re listening to this podcast while walking down W Seminary Ave in Chicago IL, could you please look for the house with blue shutters and see if he’s alright. You have my full permission to break in and use resuscitation if needed. Also if my Girlfriend, Mary, is listening I wanna say I love you so much! We share so many laughs over this show and can you please ask your dad to call me back.

"Hey pop, can I have some money?" asked Dana, "the Electric Ear Splitters are giving a concert here in town next week and I really want to hear it." His father put town the television listings, turned off the TV, and firmly declined. "But that's my favorite group," protested Dana. "I wanna buy tickets real fast so I can hear them perform as soon as possible." "If that's what's most important to you," replied the father, "then you won't need any tickets." Please explain this!

Really enjoying the podcast.

don’t use my name if you read this review.

Good show. Funny folks. I tried to leave a voicemail but got anxious and paniced so I just stutterd and started pressing buttons. Adam, Eric, JPC, and Casey, I’m sorry

I subscribed: I was looking for a new comedy podcast. I unsubscribed: someone ate a cumsandwich. I subscribed again: I was ashamed to kink shame. I unsubscribed again: depression made everything less funny. Subscribed: knew they would make me laugh hard and help combat depression. Unsubscribed: those boys always pick on that girl. Subscribed: no other podcast tickles me like they do. Unsubscribed: these fools were just too silly for a serious world with real problems. Subscribed now: I was too serious and needed more silly. Give it a few weeks…

Friend, either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge Or you are not aware of the caliber of disaster Indicated by the presence of a pool table in your community Well, ya got trouble my friend Right here I say, trouble right in Riddle City, why sure, I'm a billiard player Certainly, mighty proud I say, I'm always mighty proud to say it I consider that the hours I spend with a cue in my hand are golden Help you cultivate horse sense and a cool head and a keen eye Did you ever take and try to find and iron-clad leave for yourself From a three-rail billiard shot? But just as I say it takes judgement, brains and maturity to score In a balkline game, I say that any boob Can take and shove a ball in a pocket And I call that sloth the first big step on the road to the depths of deg-ra-day I say, first, medicinal wine from a teaspoon, then beer from a bottle.

I started listening to this show because Anthony Burch called the hosts the funniest people alive. I didn’t really like riddles and I didn’t really like improv, but I gave it a shot. Three years later, I still don’t really like riddles and I don’t really like improv. But I do love this show. Huh. -who knows what my username is, but this is Elyse (not the cool voice actor, sorry!)

So a few weeks ago some friends and I took a road trip to Texas. About 7 hours into our 10 hour drive I was tired of swapping music back and forth so I began to tell my good friends I had with me about the hey riddle riddle podcast! I was so excited to introduce my friends I was absolutely geeking with excitement. I began to explain the premise as a riddle improve podcast and how funny it is that I have listened on and off for a couple years now but it’s always a good go to that really gives me some good belly laughs! The episode I chose was #286: One Pot for Every Chicken where you all proceeded to go on and on about survivor for a majority of the episode. I’ll be honest i think I was more confused than them. I heard “this is a riddle podcast?” and “I guess they’re doing a scene?” For about 15 minutes. I could feel them cringe while I laughed at you all saying you’d run away and hide with the fire. They just didn’t get it… I then went ahead and cut the episode short at 15 minutes and moved over to one of my favorite episodes which happens to be one of the first episodes I listen to! The greatest hits of 2021 which got a few laughs! Pretzel Jesus always a classic. After finishing the full episode I started scrolling through to the best of 2022. At which point everyone quickly agreed we should return to listening to music. 10/10 road-trip story and we still joke about the survivor bit. (I tried explaining to everyone on that trip how funny a bit it would be to continually bring forward fake immunity idols… the joke was lost on them all.)

I found that crazy podcast during the pandemic and these crazy guys have kept me laughing ever since. But did I miss the origin of Jupiter?! Why does Jupiter end the podcast?? I need to know this. Love you guys…keep up the good work. Also do the $5 and get the patreon TRUST me …Jupiter bye!

First of all I want to say this is a great start! My biggest issue is it’s not effectively communicating our brand voice. You could put this same product on anyone’s feed and it wouldn’t feel out of place. We need to look at this through a new lens and really consider how we can reinforce our values without diluting the message. I don’t want to lose the essence of what you’ve done here but how can we take this to the next level? Don’t be afraid to think outside the confines of the brief. As always lmk if you have any questions!

I recently had to have a fairly scary surgery a few months back (I’m fine now!) and the only thing that made me feel safe/comfortable enough to sleep in the hospital for the few days after was this podcast. Listening to these three goofs try to avoid solving riddles is so fun and the pure chaos of their energy makes them impossible to predict. The only downside is that the surgery was on my abdomen which meant that laughter was physically painful, so I had to teach myself how to laugh without moving my stomach muscles, and it usually just ended up sounding like some kind of horrible scream. I had a great time but I’m sure my nurses hated it. Give it a listen!

It’s funny! I like it.

We trapped these podcast hosts in a financial dependent prison where they have to answer riddles or get an office job. They are really making the most of it and taking advantage of the space. If you get the patreon, the level of torture ups with forced feedings and more control over their days and removal of their freedom. Are they okay? Are we okay? This is fine. 5 stars.

I couldn’t think of anything so here’s a review from ChatGPT: "Hey Riddle Riddle" is where riddles go to party and logic gets laughed out of the room. Adal, Erin, and JPC turn head-scratchers into side-splitters—think less 'aha moment,' and more 'ha-ha moment.' Brain teasers have never been less about the brain and more about the tease.

I recommended Hey Riddle Riddle to my brother, so naturally he asked me for a riddle I liked from the podcast. I couldn’t think of a single one despite having listened to every episode. I told him that I truly cannot emphasize enough how little the riddles matter. Came for the puzzles, stayed for Erin Keif. Love you guys and love the show. Thank you for all the laughs 🫶

I started listening around episode 230 and have now been listening to the entire podcast in reverse order and bouncing back to current episodes while interspersing Patreon content. It has done something to my brain, but it’s a happy thing that scares me a lot, but only occasionally. At one point, JPC announces he’s going to stop saying ‘wokka wokka’ at the end of the episode, but since I’m listening backwards, I had to endure him saying wokka wokka for about a year. It was harrowing. These three people and their alter egos are worth the listen, no matter what order you choose.

This podcast broke the news to me of a close childhood friends death and I STILL listen to it on the regular. If that’s not a ringing endorsement I don’t know what that is.

After exhausting the main feed, I ponied up and paid for the patreon, promptly finishing those. Twice. My biggest problem with this show is when an episode ends, not having another one to listen to anymore. Thankfully they take good care of the patreon listeners and keep me buoyed week after week. The vibes are chaotically immaculate, they are the goofiest comfort listen you could develop a parasocial friendship to.

So Casey Toney came to a sleepover at my ex-stepdad’s house. He brought an armful of fireworks, but nothing to sleep in or on. He starting yelling “RONALD REGAN WAS RIGHT!” and jammed 5 Roman candles in the ground then lit them before running through them like those agility courses for dogs. He proceeded to chug a gallon of Baja blast, eat a big bowl of cacio e pepe, and creep into bed with my ex-stepfather. Casey didn’t even go under the blankets - he just curled into a ball at the foot of the bed. He didn’t wake up for 2 days, and we started to become awfully concerned about his health. At hour 42 he popped up, said “see you guys at Walmart!” and left. Weirdest sleepover ever. I hope he’s okay.

JPC here with some important information: Come here. This cat here, Binx. He can talk. My brother's a virgin. He lit the Black Flame Candle. The witches are back from the dead, and they're after us. We need help.
