Hey Riddle Riddle
Headgum
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!

#172: The Riddle Floor
It wouldn’t be Wednesday without some Riddles! This week we have riddles submitted by listeners, a chess funeral, and the return of Pretzel Jesus and JP Riddles. The crew crew also gets stuck on an elevator for 5 whole minutes. Then Erin remembers the date of a historical event and WILL NOT LET IT GO. Stick around for a conman barber and an incompetent sommelier. Have a great week!

#170: Erin Goes to a Haunted House
Look, we are going to do riddles on this episode. Of course we will. It's a riddle podcast. But really we are just here to hear about Erin's Haunted House experience. That's October for you. All that and we introduce the costume of the season, a professional trying to close a deal, a newspaper column that's just a little off, and a new neighbor with bad behavior. It's the spookiest month of the year and this episode is extra haunted!

#168: Riddles Tales of Magic w/ Branson Reese & Carly Monardo
Today we are re-uniting with some of the crew from the Rude Tales of Magic Podcast! And guess what, we are forcing them to do D&D based riddles. That's right, they can't even escape it by guesting on another show. It's D&D forever for these sickos. And us, we are also sickos! This episode is only for the sickos! And usually, we like to give you a little hint as to the scenes you'll be hearing on the ep but we do so many of them, they can't fit in the description. Listen to Rude Tales of Magic and happy #WiddleWednesday!

#166: Even More September Santa
This episode is brought to you by our lawyer: a dog wearing a cape. We discuss the hot issues like choosing to be a santa, looking like a santa, and having a santa vibe. All that plus a new twist on a classic cartoon, a department store that's slightly off, being super dry and telling time, the one-woman show of the century, some sustainable housing and a tragedy of cinematic proportions. What's your Santa preference? Let us know if you want us to stop talking about Santa because we never will! It's #WiddleWednesday Starring:

It's the first episode of September, so you know what that means! That's right, it's time for September Santa! What's he all about? Well, uh, you just gotta listen to the episode, I guess. All that, plus we've got a new twist on an old sitcom trope, a burglary gone way wrong, a couple of buff birds, the first day of class, new tricks for an old dog, a visit to our founding fathers, a deranged children's toy, bouncing ideas off a kindly stranger, and a climb to the top with a swift drop. What's YOUR favorite September food? Let us know and make sure you tag #SeptemberSanta
