#380: Bleh Riddle Riddle 8

Summary

Hey Riddle Riddle #380: Bleh Riddle Riddle 8 (October 29, 2025)

---

Episode Overview

For their eighth annual Halloween special, Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, and John Patrick Coan (JPC) deliver the signature chaos of Bleh Riddle Riddle—a riddle-soaked, improv-heavy, and deeply unserious comedy adventure. This year’s installment finds the trio hosting a “sleepover” full of spooky games, invented characters, and classic Halloween parody, but (true to their warning) barely any actual riddles. The crew riffs on Halloween costumes, urban legends, and pop culture while improvising horror movie trailers and competing for imaginary points. As always, the episode’s strength lies in quick-witted banter, running bits, and a willingness to abort any structure in favor of bits and goofs.

---

Key Discussion Points & Segments

1. Halloween Sleepover & “Mirror Ritual” Intro

[05:02–08:35]

• The hosts set the Halloween mood by joking about typical sleepover activities and riff on the “Bloody Mary” mirror legend—except here, they summon “Bleh Riddle Riddle” by chanting into a mirror.
• Inventing "Stuart," a mirror-dwelling character, who ends up just being a regular guy (“Scoliosis is rampant where I come from” – Stuart, 08:15).
• The group plays with the “mirror universe” concept, introducing offbeat versions of themselves and mirror guests like “Uncle Satan.”

Notable Quote:
Erin (as ‘Stuart,’ 08:15):
“I mean, we have, like, scoliosis is rampant.”
JPC: “That seems more niche than the flu…”
Stuart: “That’s number one!”

---

2. Riddle-Powered Characters & Improvised Lore

[11:01–14:44]

• “Stuart” recites a series of Halloween-themed tongue-twisters and faux riddles, reminiscent of past Bleh Riddle bits.
• Adal’s “nap” leads to a joke about elaborate, recursive character introductions and “spooky sleep pranks.”

Notable Moment:
Adal and Erin fake a sleepover prank:
Erin (15:21): “Should we wake up Adal or do sleep pranks?”
JPC: “Put his hand in water—and pee on him.”
Erin: “How do you still have so much pee?”
JPC: “I had my head in the toilet.”

---

3. Spooky Riddle (Joke) Payoff

[15:49–16:33]

• Resolution to last year’s cliffhanger riddle:
  “What do you get when you cross a ghost with a detective?”
  • After several wrong turns (“Sherlock Boo,” “Scarelock Holmes”), the correct answer is revealed:
  • Adal: “Sherlock Moans!”

---

4. 2025’s Top Halloween Costumes Game

[18:00–24:32]

• Adal hosts a point-based guessing game: The group tries to list the top trending Halloween costumes of 2025 (source: USA Today).
  • Erin dominates with a streak of K-Pop Demon Hunter characters: “Rumi, Zoe, Mira, Jinu, Baby Saja, Derpy the Tiger.”
  • Other highlights: Elphaba & Glinda (Wicked), Chicken Jockey (Minecraft), Labubu, the Lorax, Nightwing, Toothless, Gabby, Stitch, Superman/Supergirl, Donnie Darko, Pyramid Head, Wednesday, Cleo de Nile, Lord Farquaad.
• They riff on the etymology of “Farquaad” (“a play on ‘Fuckwad’—did you know that?”)

Notable Quote:
Adal (24:30): “When you first saw Shrek, did you…realize Farquaad was a play on Fuckwad?”
Erin: “I didn’t know that till just now.”

---

5. Monster High/Classic Monsters Improv Scene

[29:51–33:14]

• The hosts do rapid-fire improv as “Monster High” students.
  • First, Erin is a vampire, JPC is Frankenstein’s monster in high school. Chaos erupts as Erin’s accent veers into Paul McCartney.
  • They swap parts and continue the awkward high school dance negotiation.

Notable Exchange:
Erin (33:02): “I can’t breathe in the scene at all…”
JPC: “Maybe I could ask my best friend to homecoming...”
Erin: “I’m motioning to you…”
JPC: “Would you go to homecoming?”
Erin: “There’s no fresh air in the scene.”

---

6. Halloween Movie Trailer Challenge

[40:17–58:02]

• Each host improvises a “horror movie trailer” based on spooky parody titles (e.g., “Raging Skull,” “The Little Murder Maid,” “Back to the Boocher”).
• JPC’s “Raging Skull” fixates on Channing Tatum and Dave Bautista watching the movie, with a brief, terrifying description of a skull with no skin or lips—just teeth.
• Erin’s “The Little Murder Maid”: Ariel implores to go to the surface “to kill a ton of people,” sings parodic Little Mermaid songs with horror lyrics. Tries not to do a Sebastian Jamaican accent for points.
• Meta-commentary emerges as the hosts debate whether to stick closely to the spoofed IP or be more creative (leading to more off-the-rails trailers).
• In “An Axe to Grind,” JPC has Ryan Reynolds introducing the (unshowable) film, using airtime to make Erin freestyle “Halloween” raps.
• Erin struggles (humorously, on purpose) with freestyle rapping, prompting supportive yet teasing commentary from JPC and Adal.

Notable Quotes:
JPC (43:03): “Imagine a man so terrifying that no one wants to punch him in the face—‘cause his face has no skin—and there’s no lips, but there is teeth!”
Erin (47:43, as Ariel): “There you see her, sitting there across the way...You want to kill the boy. Ursula, you’re not even scary when you come back, ‘cause I’m the bad guy this time.”

---

7. Meta-Improv Jokes and "Podcast Within a Podcast"

[38:24–40:12]

• As mirror characters leave, the group jokes about every version of themselves now having a podcast: “You know the market’s saturated when the creatures in my mirror have a podcast…”
• Jokes about potential Patreon spinoffs (“$500 Tier!”) and the Lorax’s unlikely resurgence (“Loraxaissance: May cause rash, sweating, or makes you speak for the trees”).

---

8. Rap (W)Rap Finale

[64:25–68:21]

• Erin is cajoled into an end-of-episode wrap about “full moons” and being a werewolf, after choosing from several spooky topics.
• JPC joins the rap as a “vampire Ryan Reynolds,” incorporating Mint Mobile and aviation gin into his verse.
• The music cuts out, prompting comedic sputtering to the “end” (on brand for Hey Riddle Riddle’s tradition of botched endings).

Notable Exchange:
Erin (65:35): “I’m a werewolf, and it’s my time of the month. It’s time to change—look at the full moon…”
JPC (66:29): “Hey, it’s Ryan Riddles, you’re seeing me again! Skin steady sippin’ on aviation gin…”

---

Notable Quotes & Moments

• Adal (08:15): "Scoliosis is rampant."
• Erin (15:33, on pranks): "How do you still have so much pee?"
• Adal (24:30): “Did you realize Farquaad was a play on ‘Fuckwad’?”
• JPC (43:03): “Imagine a man so terrifying that no one wants to punch him in the face ‘cause his face has no skin—and there’s no lips, but there is teeth!”
• Erin (47:43): “You want to kill the boy. Ursula, you’re not even scary when you come back, ‘cause I’m the bad guy this time.”
• JPC (67:00): “Hey, it’s Ryan Riddles, you’re seeing me again! Skin steady sippin’ on aviation gin…”

Tone & Style

The episode is boisterously silly, self-aware, and loaded with callbacks and running in-jokes. The hosts constantly break improv to comment on each other’s performances, throw shade in a loving way, and praise or penalize based on completely arbitrary point systems. The horror theme is both celebrated and mocked, and the tone is pure playful Halloween nonsense.

---

Summary

“Bleh Riddle Riddle 8” exemplifies what Hey Riddle Riddle fans expect from the annual Halloween episode: mayhem, improv, barely-contained chaos, and a friendly-but-cutthroat game mentality. The riddles themselves are more setups than serious puzzles and serve as launchpads for bits, improvised characters, and escalating inside jokes. While rooted in Halloween trappings (costumes, monsters, urban legends, and parodic trailers), the episode’s real strength is the riffing between three seasoned comedians who, above all, love making each other laugh.

---

Perfect for listeners who want:

• Wild, unscripted Halloween silliness without heavy reliance on actual puzzles,
• Comedic chemistry and inventive improv,
• Parody, pop culture references, and tongue-in-cheek “spooky” humor.

I liked that. The activity of us laughing, fake laughing over nothing, though. That was so much fun. I really loved that.

[C]

That was a great idea, jpc.

[B]

Thank you. I was hoping that I would get to go once before we moved on, but it seemed like everybody else went and had a. No, no.

[A]

Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it.

Oh, yeah, you say a ton. Of that?

It just feels like we're rushing the three, two, one thing.

[C]

And I'm trying to think, was that the bit? Was that the line?

[B]

Yeah. I feel like I got as much out of it as I'm going to get. So we could move.

[B]

No, let's do it. Oh, fuck. Are we gonna fuck?

[C]

Well, I mean, I'm a.

[B]

No, I've changed it.

[C]

No. Yeah. No, I thought. Well, I thought we could have a lot.

[A]

We did. You finished three times. None of us finished. And then you need. Then you gotta ask for a hot towel. But what was it?

[B]

I feel like we've said that recently on this.

[A]

Yeah, we said it three times. That's why I'm with a callback.

[B]

It's a callback to like. I mean, it's like it comes to you so quick.

[C]

Yeah, well, something I thought we could do because it's like spooky season. It's like we all go in the bathroom, we turn off the lights and. No, not Gypsy. We're not doing that. But we turn off the lights, we look in the mirror and we say Bloody Mary three times. But that's dumb. No, that's dumb.

[B]

Are we ordering? I don't understand.

[C]

Oh, sorry, no.

[B]

Blood Mary, the Halloween drink, right?

[C]

Well, it is. I think it's probably like, I love a Bloody Mary, Dracula's favorite drink, on like a Laffy Tappy wrapper.

[B]

Okay, don't reference riddles that we're gonna have to do later in the episode. What about seasonal? I mean, like maybe something like pumpkin spice or like a mulled wine, you know?

[A]

Well, what's usually the episode we do around Halloween? What's it called?

[C]

I can't remember.

[B]

What do you mean, what's it called? Like, we don't do like a. We don't do like a specially named episode.

[A]

Yeah. Don't we? Isn't it called, like.

[C]

Not that I can remember, but what.

[A]

If we said that into the mirror three times?

[C]

Oh, bleh, riddle, riddle.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So now he remembers.

[A]

Like, what if we said it but nothing would happen. Right. I'm not scared.

[C]

I guess this would be bleh, riddle, riddle number eight. So maybe we say blah, riddle, riddle eight times into a mirror and see what happens.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Okay. Let me. Okay, we're in my bathroom. Okay, bathroom here. We'll turn off the lights. Everyone look in the mirror. And here we go.

[B]

How do we know where the mirror is. Turn the lights back on. Oh, sorry, we did that in complete wrong order.

[C]

Oh, I was.

[B]

See, I'm facing the wrong way.

[A]

Yeah, we are all facing jbc.

[C]

You're face down in the toilet. Okay. Let's all look where the mirror is at.

[B]

We turn the lights off in the bathroom. I go face down to the toilet. That's the first place I go.

[C]

Yeah, here we go.

[B]

Like we're a hurricane.

[A]

Here we go.

[C]

Lights off. And here we go.

[A]

Blah.

[B]

Oh, interesting. Are we saying bl or bleh?

[C]

Oh, that's a. We should. Yeah, we should all be on the same page, let's say. So, Aaron, pronounce it. Bleh, bleh.

[B]

I didn't ask how it was spelled. I said how we say it.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh.

[C]

Okay, Here.

[B]

Yeah. Casey put this together so it's like. The timing is awesome.

[C]

Welcome to the episode.

[B]

The duck was the mummy. He stood on a block of bats. Both of them were swamp things. It was a cabin in the wood. He stepped in with a light cone, the works and the horses take.

[C]

Welcome to the episode.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

It worked.

[A]

It summoned something. Gpc. Kill it with a. Kill it with fire.

[B]

What the fuck? Something's. Kill it with milk. And something's here. And real quick, just while something's here, do we want to make sure that we want to do the voice the whole time, or is there a different voice for something? For whoever this is and whatever is going on. Call me something. What the fuck? He's committed to it. I would not be doing that voice the whole episode, but. Hey, something. What's going on?

[C]

What are you. Are you.

[A]

Not much. We're having a sleepover.

[C]

Just having a sleepover. Thought to do some spooky.

[B]

Yeah. Incantations, play roll of the mirror eight times. See what we could summon.

[C]

Yes. Well, you've summoned me. My name is Stuart.

[B]

Took a long time on Stuart Stuart.

[A]

I haven't listened to the show in a while. Stuart, are you like a classic part of these Blair Riddle Riddle episodes? You're like a classic. You're like a fixture. You're a mainstay for these episodes.

[B]

I'm on Witch Riddle Riddle right now, and I'm not saying anything for Stuart.

[C]

How is which spelled?

[B]

Oh, you know what? I'm on the wrong thing. Okay.

[C]

I'm not sure what blah riddle riddle is, but you did. You summoned me, and I am a man in the mirror reality.

[B]

Okay? So. Hmm. You're a man. You kind of yeah. You kind of just seem like a guy.

[C]

Yeah, I'm a guy.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Lives in the mirror. Well, I guess. I guess. Sorry on my end. You guys live in the mirror?

[B]

Yeah. Is there anything terrifying about your reality or whatever? Or do you. Are you just, like, a guy? Like, we're a guy. Just like a different reality.

[C]

I mean, we have, like, scoliosis is rampant.

[B]

Scoliosis. I don't know if we're doing Halloween puns yet.

[C]

What else? Malaria's been an issue in the past.

[B]

Malady. Malaria, maybe. I don't know.

[C]

We have a thing called influenza. Flu for short.

[A]

Yeah, we got that. Yeah.

[B]

It sounds like your reality is pretty close to ours. Although I don't know. I don't know that in ours I would lead off with scoliosis. That seems like more of a niche.

[C]

Oh, that's number one.

[B]

That's number one. That's number one. People get scoliosis. They're like, we get the flu.

[C]

You can catch scoliosis.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

[C]

Yeah. It's a seasonal thing.

[A]

That makes sense.

[C]

Yeah. What else? What else?

[B]

Scoliosis booster every year. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, spiders are everywhere. Everywhere.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

See them everywhere?

[C]

Well, no, I mean, you're never, like, more than 20ft from a spider.

[B]

Yeah, that's our reality.

[C]

But they're in, like, the woods and it might be in, like, your attic or something.

[B]

Sure. Yeah.

[C]

I don't know if I'd say that everywhere.

[A]

I hate to do this to you.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

Cause it really feels like you're just sort of a guy.

[C]

Am I? You have to cut this for time.

[A]

Either you have to host the episode.

[C]

Well, I would have done the voice.

[B]

Of husk of the host.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I know. That's what we were saying. That's sort of what we were thinking.

[B]

Kind of the whole thing.

[A]

Hey, Stuart, you're actually sort of the biggest part of Blair Riddle now. This is forever now. You're sort of the one who hosts Blair Riddle Riddle.

[B]

And Erin is kind of saying that because I think she might remember something that happens in Blair Riddle Riddle, and she might not want to get to that.

[A]

But no, I'm not spinning my wheels because the Blair Riddle Riddle is famously an episode I'm really bad at and panic and do all sorts of nonsense in.

[B]

I think what Aaron is saying, Stuart, is that you are welcome here. If you want to kind of hang out for Blade Riddle Riddle, you absolutely can.

[C]

Yes. Yeah. Stuart, if you want to stick around, you can host or not host. I don't know if you have anything prepared or if you have hey, Riddler, riddle in your universe. No, we don't have. We don't have. Hey, riddle, riddle.

[B]

So we're the bad universe. We're definitely the bad universe. It sounds like the dark spider universe is the better you would.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's brutal.

[C]

Oranges are apples here.

[B]

Well, that is.

[C]

What is that? How do you know that?

[A]

How do you know that?

[C]

How do you know? I made that one up. I'm sorry. I want my world to see more interesting.

[A]

Yeah, but it's not, though, huh?

[C]

It's not. It seems pretty.

[B]

And no one's world is really interesting to them. Right? But, you know, it's like maybe, like, the things that you find, like, mundane about your world would be, like, fascinating to ours.

[A]

Let's talk about this the whole time, though, I think, because we got nothing we gotta get to, right?

[C]

Oh, we have one thing we have to get to.

[B]

Hey, Stuart. Stuart. Taking control. I like this.

[C]

Mummy, mummy, mummy spider, spider Spiders give me such a fright A ghoul terrifies haunted doll hair Giveaway based on the tome attitude My death and release and fuzzies Undead Adol writes a check Undead.

[B]

Adol writes a check Mummy, mummy, mummy Spider, spider, spider Ziggy me such a fright a ghoul terrifies haunted Dalhair giveaway A ghoul terrifies haunted d Giveaway based on the tome attitude My death and rinis and puzzies on the daddle. All right, say check. So Stuart had that prepared. So it seems like. Aaron, look, they have hero in a riddle in that universe for sure, right? Like, that's like they could exist one to one, right?

[A]

Uncle Arle rides a deck.

[B]

All right, Stuart, we'll give this a shot. This seems new to us.

[C]

How do.

[B]

How do we play? And what do we win?

[C]

Kind of sucks us blubber. Hurdle's my thing, but I'm gonna go take a nap.

[A]

All right. See you later, adolescent.

[C]

See you later, Adol. Love you, messy Oak.

[B]

Adol. Wouldn't it be more fun if you participated? Or I guess, take your nap. It looks like he's already gone.

[A]

He's gone. He's gone.

[B]

Well, this is Stuart's episode now, Stuart, can I ask you a question?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Are you the only guy in your universe or do you, like. Are there also other guys in your universe?

[C]

Hell.

[B]

Hell. Hell. Hell. Oh, shit.

[C]

Guys, be cool. Be cool, be cool.

[B]

Well, Stuart, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?

[A]

Can we close this mirror?

[B]

Please don't.

[C]

Please don't. Sorry. This is my friend this is mirror.

[B]

Uncle Santa, Uncle Satan. Sorry. Hell, hell, hell.

[C]

Uncle Satan. Hi, Uncle Satan.

[B]

Well, what's this?

[A]

Yeah, you don't see me coming through the mirror with some nonsense, huh? You see me having some self control?

[B]

Who is this exasperated young woman? Young?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What was your theory?

[C]

Right?

[A]

Wait, why do. Why are we pushing up against young? Hi, Uncle Satan. I know you.

[B]

You know me?

[A]

Yeah, we've met before.

[B]

Well, you must be on my naughty list, which for me Uncle Satan is.

[C]

The good is the good list is the good list.

[A]

Yeah, we've done the song and dance before.

[B]

Wait, we've done Uncle Satan before?

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Well, not on our.

[C]

On our end we haven't. Also.

[B]

Yeah, on your end. On your end. Uncle Satan is new. Like he's a new guy.

[C]

Yeah, brand new. And he also just got scoliosis, which is good for.

[B]

Yeah, here, it's good here. It's good to have that. And also not making a judgment on scoliosis because that's like. I think that's just like a thing that happens to people.

[A]

I have it.

[B]

Oh shit. Good. Oh bad.

[C]

That's good, that's good.

[B]

But hey, it's whatever, it's.

[C]

Yeah, I think it's cool.

[B]

Can we all.

[A]

Are we gonna record this from the bathroom? Cause I'm feeling a little claustrophobic with sort of everybody.

[C]

I mean, I guess if I want to see this from the bathroom, I.

[B]

Can'T really leave this.

[A]

Well, Uncle Satan, you smell like really bad. Or that could be jbc.

[B]

You can smell me through the beer. It's me.

[C]

I think that might be the toilet on your end.

[A]

Jbc.

[B]

I had my face right in there, Aaron, so there's nothing I can do about that now. Well, Aaron, we could leave. We could leave the mirror and go wake up adol. Is it worth waiting for a little bit at the mirror to see if maybe there's another character that shows up? I don't know what it even would be, but some sort of. I'm not saying it's like a direct one to one to like each host of the show with their like a mirror version, but would it be. Would it be worth waiting to see?

[A]

It's me mirror JP Riddles. And I'm. No, I'm not going to do this.

[B]

Yeah, plus you're on this side of the mirror, so I don't know what you were doing with that. And that's also feels like one of my characters. Do you have maybe like someone that you could do like in the mirror? Like someone. Well, you do have one big one.

[A]

Yeah, but there is no Halloween pun I could do for it.

[B]

Welp, we better be going there.

[C]

We're gonna head out.

[A]

All right, come on, guys. Let's just do the episode.

[B]

Okay, let's turn the lights back on. Oh, okay. They went away, huh?

[A]

Great.

[B]

Should we wake up Adel or should we do some sleep pranks to him?

[A]

Ooh, spooky sleep pranks.

[B]

Okay, put his hand in water and pee on him. Wait, Put whipped cream on his hand and pee on him.

[A]

Hold on. How do you have so much pee available still?

[B]

I had my head in the toilet.

[A]

Pauses for eight minutes, stirs at jpc.

[B]

I sucked the pee out.

[A]

Adult Psst.

[C]

Psst.

[A]

Wake up. Host the episode.

[C]

What do you get when you cross a ghost with a detective? And what do you get when you cross a ghost with a detective?

[A]

Sherlock Boo.

[C]

Whoa, Aaron, that was so close.

[A]

I doubt it.

[C]

Sorry, I must have been saying last year's riddle that we Sherlock bones, one letter off. Well, a couple letters off, but phonetically, one letter off.

[B]

I ooze Sherlock booze.

[C]

No.

[B]

Do I have the Sherlock part?

[C]

A ghost doesn't have bones, but a ghost might do this. Sort of like wailing.

[B]

Oh. Oh, Scarelock Holmes.

[C]

Scarelock's actually very good. Sherlock moans.

[A]

Moans.

[C]

That's what you get when you cross a ghost with a detective.

[A]

Full year for Sherlock moans.

[C]

Yeah, that was the riddle we ended with last year, and I didn't give the answer.

[B]

Oh.

[C]

Oh, you know what?

[A]

Wake up, pissy. Sorry, it's your new nickname.

[C]

Did you guys put my underwear in the freezer and then piss on me?

[A]

We did not do the underwear in the freezer part. If your underwear is freezing cold, that is something going on with you medically.

[C]

Well, I'm going to do something to you. A little something called Mummy, Mummy, Mummy Spider, Spider, spiders give me such a fright. A ghoul terrifies haunted doll hair giveaway based on tome adult my death and riddies and puzzies Undead addle writes a check.

[B]

Okay. Mummy spiders. Spider, spiders give me such a fright. A ghoul terrifies haunted doll hair giveaway. A ghoul terrifies haunted doll hair giveaway based on the tome attitude. My death and riddles and fuzzies on dead dolore. Check. I am also checking my bank app. I don't think I've been paid for this ever. So should I. Oh, sorry.

[C]

On Halloween, my checks. Sorry. On Halloween, my checks are sort of like. I write, like, pay to the order of, like, candy. Sort of like a Fun.

[B]

Sure. I mean, yeah.

[C]

For trick or treating, I just hand out checks that say whatever, like Almond Joy in the.

[B]

Oh, so you're the guy.

[C]

The box where you write the money.

[A]

I'm not complaining. I see kids complaining. I'm not complaining.

[C]

And you can cash those whenever. And I'll go out and buy the candy for you. So I think it's. I think kids think it's.

[A]

I'm ready to play.

[C]

Teaches them fiscal responsibility. Let's play the game that we play every Halloween. And what we're going to do is we're going to start with costumes for 2025. I have a list from trusted source USA Today that says the top 25 trending costumes or costume searches from 2025.

[B]

It's funny, we've been doing this for so long that, like, things like USA Today, I've like, looped back around to being like, it's the only one left. It's the only one left doing news.

[A]

Let's see. I can't think of anything that happened this year culturally.

[C]

So what we'll do is we're going to start with Aaron and going to let you guess five different items for each one you get correct, I'll give you 10 points. If you happen to guess the number one costume, you get 100 points. And Aaron, you'll get five guesses. And then JPC, you'll get five guesses. And then we'll see where we stand. So, Aaron, I'm going to give you a chance to name five items that we hope are in the top 25 Halloween costumes or Halloween costume searches for 2025.

[A]

I'm going to start with K Pop Demon Hunters.

[C]

Now, Aaron. Wow, Aaron.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

You are dead right in terms of the, I want to say of the top 10, six of them, five of them are K Pop Demon Hunters. But I do need you to be more specific.

[B]

No, she should get all five points.

[A]

Three girls.

[B]

I wouldn't have said that. I wouldn't have said K Pop Demon Hunters.

[C]

Okay, here's what I'll say. Aaron, you're going to get the number one costume or costume search is Rumi from K Pop Demon Hunters. Number two costume is Zoe from K Pop Demon Hunters. Number three is Mira from kpop. Number four is Jinu from K Pop. Number five is Baby Saja from kpop. And number eight is Derpy the Tiger.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

From K Poppetta. Penthouse.

[A]

My favorite part of the whole movie.

[C]

You get 50 points for getting shit five of the top 10 and then 100 for getting the number one thank you. So that's 150 points.

[A]

Can I keep guessing?

[C]

Yes. Four more guesses.

[A]

Do you think Elphaba and Glinda are on the bar?

[C]

Aaron? Right in the top 10 is Elphaba from Wicked. And then around 15 or 14 is Glenda from Wicked. That's another 20 points, Aaron. Okay, you're at the 170 and you have three guesses left.

[B]

Just so I know, huh? She gets multiple guesses per guess. Cause the first guess was.

[A]

All right, but I'll stop there. I'll stop there. I'm happy with what I got.

[C]

Hey jpc. Hey jpc. Hey gbc. Real quick.

[B]

Yeah. Uh huh.

[C]

Earlier I felt like I was like, you have to be specific with K Pop Demon Hunter. And you were like, give it all to her. And then I did. And now, and now it seems like doctor Complain.

[B]

She said one thing. She said K Pop Demon Hunters. The second time she definitely said two things.

[C]

I'm trying to follow your lead.

[A]

I was there for that. He's being ridiculous.

[B]

If the third guess is three things.

[A]

Like that would be he's being ridiculous. You were damned if you did and damned if you didn't.

[C]

Let them eat cake, woman.

[B]

Eat cake.

[A]

Jbc. I'm happy with what I got. You can have a turn now. Go ahead.

[B]

Y m. I think the big difference is I know Elphaba and Glinda. I don't know K Pop Demon Hunters. Okay. Things that happened. 2025, man. I'm kind of sucks cuz I'm like 2025. Okay, what's 2025? Oh yeah, Trump was inaugurated and then I'm like, it hasn't even been a fucking year.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Are you fucking kidding me? So let's see. Would there be something on this list of like doing like an Ice Raider, like one of the kind of Ice Gestapo that's like kidnapping people off the streets? Would that be like a costume that people are interested in?

[A]

I don't think it's a costume a lot of terrible people are interested in.

[C]

Yeah. Dean Cain maybe.

[B]

One is that I know a lot of grown adults that are for some reason dressing in that costume and kind of doing it. Okay, what else? 2025, what are we doing? We're doing like a Charlie Kirk costume this year. Is that maybe too soon?

[A]

I think JPC yields his time.

[B]

Oh, wasn't there a thing earlier the year where like a helicopter hit a plane? There was like a really bad helicopter.

[A]

That is on the time.

[C]

No, I don't actually. And maybe I don't see that there. Two more guesses. Jpc. Two more guesses.

[B]

Maybe I remember less.

[A]

Do we get a hint?

[B]

Pop culture things. And more like terrible things that are happening again.

[A]

Remember our show is escapism. Remember we talked about this being escapism?

[C]

Tbc. Two more guesses.

[B]

Two more guesses. Oh, okay. Let's go to movies. What happened in movies this year? Okay, there was an Avatar trailer, so I'll say the Na'. Vi. Are the Na' Vi back.

[C]

I don't see it on the list. One more guess. Jpc.

[A]

The woman from Weapons.

[C]

Oh, that's a. I mean, that's the costume I want to see the most of, but I don't see it on this list.

[B]

I didn't see weapons either, so.

[C]

Very good.

[B]

Okay. Couldn't be.

[C]

Jbc. Do you have a final guess?

[B]

Oh, God, I really wish. I really wish I had a final guess. I will guess. Oh, I'll just guess that it's that Australian breakdancer that was on the list last year.

[C]

What's her name? Rewind. No, Gun. Ray Gun.

[B]

Ray Gun. Ray Gun. I like Rewind as well.

[C]

Not on the list. Let me say just a couple more that are on the list. Chicken Jockey for Minecraft. Labubu.

[A]

Oh, of course, Labubu.

[C]

The Lorax. I don't know why the Lorax is on the list, but the Lorax. Hamilton from the Lin Manuel Miranda musical. Not from History. Nightwing. Nurse from Silent Hill. I don't know what that is. Toothless from how to Train youn Dragon. Ladybug. Gabby from the Netflix series Gabby.

[B]

Wait, can I say one?

[C]

Can I say one?

[B]

Can I say one? Yes.

[C]

Yes. Stitch.

[B]

Right, that came out this year. The Little Stitch remake.

[C]

Stitch is not on here. But what is on here? From the movie Superman and Supergirl.

[B]

We also have Donnie Darko, like the dog Donnie Darko. What is.

[C]

I don't know.

[B]

From 2025.

[C]

I guess so. Also Founding Father.

[B]

So that's another Hamilton thing. Why are people still talking about Hamilton in 2025?

[C]

Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. I guess Silent Hill's making a big comeback Wednesday. From the Netflix series Wednesday.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Cleo de nile from the TV series Monster High. And rounding out the top 25, my personal favorite, Lord Farquaad from Shrek. Now, when you first saw Shrek, did you. Were you guys too young to realize that Farquaad was a play on Fuckwad?

[A]

I didn't know that till just now.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I truly had no idea that Farquaad was a play on Fuckwad. That's crazy.

[C]

Yeah. Cause I was old enough when I saw Shrek when it first came out in the theaters to be like, how are they getting away with it?

[B]

Were there people. Were there kids before Shrek came out that called people Farquads?

[A]

No, there was no kids before Shrek came out.

[C]

There wasn't kids before Shrek came out. That's why I saw it. Yeah. That's why I'm as old as I am.

[B]

Cause I remember people saying things like schoolyard that were like curse words, but not curse words, so you couldn't get in trouble for them. But I've never heard Farquaad as Fuckwad.

[C]

And maybe this is in my own imagination, but I like to think it's a play on Fuckwad.

[B]

If it's not, it's a pretty good play on Fuckwad. If it's not, I'd be equally shocked.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

As shocked as I was to learn it, I'd be equally shocked to learn that it wasn't true.

[A]

That was an interesting list.

[C]

Thanks, Errol.

[A]

I'm glad that you read that.

[B]

The one that I was doing or the one Adel was doing?

[A]

No, yours was a nightmare.

[B]

Mine was sad. Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I think when someone's like, oh, interesting outfit. I was like, oh, thank you.

[A]

Oh, no, Adol, I was trying to get points for complimenting you. It was a sincere compliment, though.

[C]

Well, Aaron, you're currently winning 170 to 0, but I'm gonna toss you 30 points for that. So you're up to 200 JPC. You're at 0. And what we're gonna do now is we're gonna move on to some spooky scenes. Now, remember, during Blah Riddle Riddle, you can win scenes.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Some points afterwards. And I'm going to give you a setup. Of course. So for this first scene, what I like to see is just because it seems like maybe we're all a little bit confused and it seems to be dominating the zeitgeist. Yes. I want to see a scene that's the two of you sort of portraying whatever you think K Pop Demon Hunters is. So this is maybe a scene from what you think K Pop Demon Hunters is.

[A]

Got it.

[C]

Okay, we'll start now.

[A]

Hey, kids, we're about to hypnotize you into loving this movie.

[B]

Just want to let you know who's speaking. Hey, is the Netflix logo talking to me? It's, like, pulsating on the tv.

[A]

Hi. Sorry, I'm Jennifer. Netflix got sucked into the screen. It's a whole thing. Hey. Hey.

[B]

I'm so interested you are. Jennifer Netflix. I didn't know Netflix was someone's last name.

[A]

Yeah, so I got sucked in to this thing. Here's the thing. We are trying to sucked into the screen.

[B]

How?

[A]

We've been doing mind control. I messed up. I did something stupid and then I got. This is my punishment from the Netflix family is that I'm sort of.

[B]

They sucked you into the screen?

[A]

Yeah, Sucked for eternity. But this is what I mean. I'm a good guy. Like, I'm a good person.

[B]

So that's the technology they possess.

[A]

Yeah. You're a kid, right?

[B]

Um, I mean, I'm 16.

[A]

Ah, you're. Okay, wait, I think I got the data wrong. You have a little sister then?

[B]

I have two little sisters.

[A]

Oh, can you call them in?

[B]

They're sleeping. It's like 10 o' clock at night. Oh, God.

[A]

Okay, we.

[B]

Do you not have a sense of time in there?

[A]

No.

[B]

Because you got sucked into the tv.

[A]

No. And that's why I have to keep asking people if they are still watching. Cause I just have no sense. That's me. I'm like, are you even still here? Here's the thing.

[B]

Here's the thing. I remember what it was like to be a kid. Like, I'm 16 now, but I'm like, I'm not too far away from it that I don't kind of remember that feeling.

[A]

We're just trying to make content that. Cause we know that parents aren't really looking at what their kids are watching. And we're gonna make things.

[B]

I was gonna watch porn, Right?

[A]

I know, I know. I saw what you typed in. But we're gonna do subliminal messaging.

[B]

I keep forgetting they don't have it on Netflix.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Typing on my remote so it takes so long to type the stuff I like. And then I'm like, oh, no, it's on Netflix.

[A]

Yeah. And I just also, I'm not here to judge, but you were actually the first person to ever type super duper romantic porn into the Netflix search bar.

[B]

Well, I know Netflix isn't going to have like the hardcore stuff, but like, I know they have like Outlander, so it's like, you know, that's not.

[A]

They have Outlander. Oh, is it not porn? Does it not serve the same purpose that porn can serve?

[B]

But I mean, it's basically right.

[A]

I mean, like, it's porn in a pinch, my guy.

[C]

It is porn saying, wonderful job, Adol.

[A]

Have you seen K Pop Demon Hunters yet?

[C]

I have not, but I know.

[A]

Oh, Adol. It is perfect.

[C]

Is it legit Good.

[A]

I would say it is. You would love it so much.

[B]

And I. Casey says Adol would love it. So Casey and Aaron have both seen K Pop Demon Hunters.

[A]

It's a perfect movie. Twice. Yeah, I've seen it multiple times. The music is amazing. It's super good and moving. I feel like it is on the echelon for me with like into the Spider verse and Puss in the Last Wish.

[B]

Okay. I've seen it twice and both times I was so drunk and there were.

[A]

He said it with my nieces and nephews.

[B]

Oh, what am I reading? Oh, a lie. I'm reading a lie. Because he can't. Okay. Yeah, with my nieces and nephews.

[C]

Makes more sense from that scene. I'm going to award JPC 100 points. And Aaron, I'm going to award you 150. The additional 50 is for the name Jennifer Netflix, which I thought was very good.

[A]

Thanks.

[C]

So just a slight bump there. So that brings us up to air near at 350Gpc. You're at 100. I do want to see another scene. This is based off the fact that one of the costumes on the list was Cleo Denial from Monster High. Never heard of Monster High. But I do want to see a scene same of the two of you as sort of classic monsters in high school. Aaron, do you have a favorite sort of classic monster?

[A]

I like a vampire.

[C]

Great. So you're a vampire or Dracula type in high school.

[A]

Great.

[C]

Jpc, do you have a favorite sort of classic monster?

[B]

I mean the most classic monster. Frankenstein's monster.

[C]

Perfect. So this is Draculaura, vampire type and Frankenstein in high school.

[B]

Frankenstein's monster.

[C]

So sorry. Frankenstein's monster in high school. And this scene starts now.

[B]

School sucks.

[A]

Yeah, I said that you get detention.

[B]

Again today, Paul McCartney.

[A]

I know, I heard it. Scene. Oh, I heard it too. I can't go back in there.

[C]

And Aaron, real quick, you cannot call scene. This is still.

[A]

I know, but I'm just saying. I know I have to go back to that scene, but I went to Bob McCartney and now I can't undo it.

[B]

Raspberry.

[C]

It was almost Bob Dylan. Right? It was like getting vampires.

[A]

I know, but now how am I supposed to get back in that? Okay, I'll go back.

[C]

Okay, here's what we'll do. We're going to restart start this scene. Slight punishment because we stopped it. Aaron, you're now Frankenstein's monster. Jpc, you're now Dracula and we're in high school. And go.

[A]

High school sucks.

[C]

Huh?

[B]

I don't know. I quite like high school at all.

[C]

Aaron, stay in the scene.

[B]

I know it seems like we're not going to use a lot of the things that we learn here, but I quite like the company. And the teachers are all nice. God, I could go for some blood. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

What I wouldn't do for a little blood. Just a song I'm kind of tinkering with. It's nothing yet.

[A]

I was wondering if you had a date to homecoming at.

[B]

Honestly, all the girls want to go to homecoming with me. They keep swarming me, absolutely mobbing me wherever I go. But I haven't said yes to a single one of them yet.

[A]

Well, maybe you say yes to someone who is made up of a bunch of different dead people.

[B]

Take my best friend to homecoming. Why? That could work.

[C]

I.

[A]

Can you be. I feel like I sound a little bit like a Cookie Monster.

[B]

Don't know who that is.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Think you sound like yourself.

[A]

Frankenstein starts jiggling at the door handle of the scene.

[C]

Locked.

[A]

It's locked.

[B]

Maybe I could. Maybe I could ask my best friend if they go to homecoming with me, can you unlock?

[A]

I'm motioning to you.

[B]

Would you go to homecoming?

[A]

I can't breathe in the scene at all.

[B]

Dracula.

[A]

There's no fresh air in the scene.

[C]

Bob Dylan opens the mail slot of the scene, shoves some trail mix in.

[A]

Here and there for some protein, grabs your hand.

[C]

And scene. And scene.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

Very good job.

[B]

I will say yes, and this is not a criticism of Eren.

[A]

Don't do this. Don't do this.

[B]

She wasn't really staying in it.

[A]

Hey, I was so in it. I was so committed.

[C]

Jbc, it was barely noticeable, but I did pick up on that. So, Aaron, I am going to deduct 100 points because, Aaron, both times you tried to stop the scene.

[A]

Well, because I accidentally did a Paul McCartney voice.

[C]

Yeah, I'm all right.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I guess that's my fault.

[A]

No, no, no, no, no. This one. This time it's on me. Every other time I've accidentally done a Paul McCartney voice, it's usually your fault. This one I will take personal responsibility for.

[C]

And jbc, because you were tried and true. Trying to push forward on that, I am going to give you 150 points. So we are currently Aaron at 250 points. JPC at 250 points. We are tied on this episode of Blab. Read a riddle. And what we're going to do now is maybe the spookiest thing of all, which is to take a break.

[B]

Oh, Octopus is gardening.

[C]

Hi, Aaron. Hi, jpc.

[B]

It's me, Saving Squirrel Aaron. I'll stomp on it. You just give me the. Yes. The go ahead, the thumbs up, and this thing is gone.

[A]

No, no, jpc. I think there's something he's trying to say. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[B]

But just hovering over it, Wait.

[C]

I have value. I have value. Do you want to turn your kids in? The savior's acorns early, which I represent, makes it easy to teach kids healthy money habits that will stick with them for life.

[A]

You know, Squirrel, I was just thinking about how, like, why don't they teach us more about money in school? Like, I feel like there should be a whole class for it. Because you go to college and you don't. You're dealing with money really, for the first time.

[C]

Right.

[A]

And you don't know how to do it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Aaron, don't say go to high school and go to college around the squirrel. It's obvious that this is a guy didn't go to high school and college because he's a squirrel.

[A]

Yeah, he did. Look, he's wearing a little graduation cap.

[C]

Yeah. Oh, I went to mit.

[B]

I am so sorry, squirrel. But not as sorry as I am about not learning about money when I was younger. Squirrel, let me ask you, do you have a piggy bank?

[C]

And I should say, MIT stands for munch into trees.

[B]

That's what I thought.

[C]

I do have a piggy bank.

[B]

Well, piggy banks are cute, and they're great for loose quarters, but these days, there's so much more that kids and squirrels need to know about money. Acorns early makes it easy to teach kids lifelong money skills they can actually use in the real world or whatever world you live in. Squirrel.

[C]

Hmm. Thank you. I'm not sure. I thought it was the normal world, but I could be wrong.

[B]

Well, let me ask you this. If it's the normal world, in your world, does Acorns early have a smart debit card and a money app that grows kids money skills as they grow up?

[C]

You betcha.

[B]

Okay. And can you start with in app Chores tracker, and teach your kids the value of a dollar?

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And then you let your kids set their own saving goals and start building healthy money habits early.

[C]

You better believe it.

[A]

Hmm.

[B]

Okay, so it sounds like we're in the same world.

[C]

Felt like when I said MIT stands for munch into trees, we all just kind of glazed over that.

[A]

No, I know. It's in Massachusetts. It's a really great school. Kids can spend what they've earned. With their very own customizable debit card, giving them that extra sense of independence. Plus, with ACORN early spending limits and real time spend notifications, parents always stay in control.

[B]

I've looked through Acorns Early. I am thrilled for when my kid gets old enough that I can use Acorns early and kind of help them manage money. But I've gone through the system. I've gone through the information that exists there. Although I haven't used it. It's all stuff that I would really recommend. And I think that like teaching young kids financial literacy stuff is super, super important. It really just gives them such a leg up for the world that they will have to live in.

And we're back. And of course, this is your host, Stuart. As always, I'm joined by Uncle Satan.

[B]

Hell, hell, hell. And you.

[C]

And I'm also.

[B]

I really didn't think about what my whole thing would be. No, I was gonna say that was good. That was hell, hell, hell.

[A]

We're not letting you out. You can't get out of the scene.

[B]

No, I'm in it. I mean, I'm in it. I'm still doing the voice.

[C]

And smash, smash, smash. Sorry, guys, I just had to smash my bathroom mirror. It seems like we were still getting the frequency through there. But it does sound like Stuart and Uncle Satan started a podcast, which is fun with.

[B]

Yeah, that's fun for them.

[C]

Mirror version of Aaron Keefe. It sounded like.

[A]

Yeah, everybody has a podcast these days.

[B]

It's hard out there. It's hard out there, but it's fun. It's, you know, people do it if they like what they're doing. That's enough. Right?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Can I just. You know, the market's saturated when the creatures in my mirror have a podcast. Right, for sure.

[A]

For sure.

[C]

Well, but we also have a podcast, and this is Blair Riddle number eight. And so do you think we could.

[B]

Do a spin off podcast as just character? Like, would people listen to like Little Monkey Bun's Dr. Chameleon Coco Cashmere podcast?

[A]

Can we not test their loyalty any more than we already have?

[B]

That's at least a Patreon idea.

[C]

Let's make that like a $500 tier to where it's like, you gotta really ask for that.

[A]

Yeah. No one wants that, though. I speak for the trees. Just like. I guess the Lorax is having a comeback too, which is exciting.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Which is nice. Nice for the Lorax.

[C]

Loraxaissance. That sounds like a medicine I was trying to do. Like, you know how when Matthew was everywhere, they called it the mechonaissance. I tried to do Loraxaissance, but it sounds like a medicine.

[A]

Loraxisans. May cause rash, may cause sweating or bleeding, could cause certain types of cancer.

[C]

Could cause you to speak for the trees.

[A]

Could cause you to speak for the trees. Could cause you a little yellow mustache.

[C]

I speak for the episode when I say that it's time to move on to a Blair Riddle Riddle. Classic trailer. Damn near killed her. What's going to happen is you're both going to have two minutes to improvise the perfect horror movie trailer based on the title I give you. You will be doing all the voices, all the sound effects, any spooky music up top narration, edits, maybe listing the cast, etc. Your mission basically is in two minutes to make.

[A]

Did we choose to accept it?

[C]

Did you choose to accept it?

[B]

I just let the VHS blow up in the little. Like the little player that they gave me. I just let it smoke out. Yeah.

[C]

Your mission is to make me scared to miss this movie. That's nothing fun because you're tied. I'm gonna let Aaron choose. Aaron, would you like to go first or second?

[A]

I would like to go second, please.

[C]

Okay, jpc, you will be going first. Your titles, you have Two, huh?

[B]

And this is not immediate, but could someone please untie us? It's not that I don't want to be here doing this. I just. I want to show you.

[A]

Why are you complaining? I feel like I've showered recently, probably, right?

[B]

I don't know.

[C]

That's how you turn off the lights in the bathroom. It sounded like someone turned on the shower.

[B]

Not me. My head was right in that toilet.

[C]

Jvc, you're ready for your two titles, please. Your two options to choose from are Raging Skull, play on Raging Bull.

[B]

Got it.

[C]

Or One rattle after another. Play on one battle after another.

[B]

Okay, well, I've seen one battle after another more recently, so Recency bias. I can't work with that. I have to go with Raging Skull.

[C]

Okay, so Raging Skull is your option. And your two minutes starts now.

[B]

We will scare you this Halloween. Channing Tatum. Oh, and Dave Bautista will be in attendance watching the scariest movie to hit theaters in 100 years. They've already agreed they don't hang out as much as they used to or would like to. These plans are firmly set in the grave. One minute left. We will. We will. Oh, oh, oh.

[A]

Ah.

[B]

Imagine a man so terrifying that no. No one wants to punch him in the face. Cause his face has no skin. And there's also no lips, but there is teeth. Oh, you know what? Let me just show you briefly. Oh, you see that? I flash it on the screen. Scary as fuck, huh? Channing Tatum's gonna freak out when he sees this. This Halloween. It's time. Time for Raging Skull. And we got the guy. Oh, the little guy from Dune. Oh, tip of my tongue. We got the little guy from Dune.

[A]

No, it's not tip of my tongue. It's Timothy Chalamet.

[B]

Shallow Timothy. This Halloween.

[C]

Yay.

[A]

I can't fucking beat that.

[B]

How long do I have?

[C]

Is it a minute?

[B]

Is there a timer?

[A]

It's two minutes.

[B]

It's two minutes.

[C]

Yeah. It was two minutes.

[B]

I feel like it's. Isn't it usually a minute? Two minutes feels long.

[A]

It's always been two.

[C]

Always been two minutes.

[B]

It's always been two.

[C]

Yep. All right, now, JPC, I'm going to go ahead and give you 75 points. The reason you got 75. Stellar trailer. But it felt like the first minute or so was mostly talking about the celebrities who have signed on or agreed upon the idea of watching this movie.

[B]

That's what sells.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

I mean, I'll take the feedback, but I'm telling you right now.

[A]

Yeah, but it feels like it's like they could say anything. They could be like, Meryl Streep might see a screener of this. Like that feels kind of misleading, right?

[C]

We reached out to Meryl Streep. She said, no, I guess we'll see.

[B]

What yours is, Aaron. Because if yours is all that to pad time. Because it is two minutes, Aaron. And two minutes goes by pretty slow.

[A]

All right. I'm famously good at these.

[C]

So, Aaron, are you ready?

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Your two options are the Little Murder Maid or It's a Wonderful Knife. Wow.

[A]

What's the first one to play on?

[C]

The Little Mermaid.

[A]

Oh, yes. So that makes sense.

[C]

I thought it was obvious, but let me go ahead and start over. This is the Little Murder Maid based on the Little Mermaid or It's a Wonderful knife. Based on It's a wonderful knife and at all.

[B]

I'm not fishing for points, but I got the Little Mermaid thing pretty quick. I'm not sure if that's.

[C]

That's 10 points.

[A]

It's a wonderful knife. I'll do It's a wonderful knife.

[C]

Aaron, you're going to be doing a trailer in two minutes.

[A]

Wait, I'll do the Little Murder Maid. I'll do the Little Murder Maid.

[C]

Aaron, I do have to deduct 10 points because I was mid sentence when you changed. So do you have to deduct 10 points for that? Aaron, you're going to be doing a two minute trailer for the Little Murder Maid. And your time starts now.

[A]

This Halloween. I want to be where the people are. I want to see. Want to see em dying. The Little Mermaid. Like you've never seen her before with blood lust. Dad, please let me go to the surface. Please let me go to the surface. I want to have legs so I could kill a ton of people.

[B]

Ariel, no.

[A]

That's not what we do. We stay under the sea. If you want to kill someone, kill a mermaid. But that doesn't satisfy the impulse. Father, please. Sebastian, keep an eye on our Little Murder Maid. Oh, my God.

[B]

Do the voice. Do the voice. Do the voice.

[C]

One minute left.

[A]

Oh, Ariel. The human world, it's a mess. They keep killing each other without our help. Life under the sea is better. Killing a mermaid is super satisfying. No, I'm gonna go to Ursula and she's gonna let me make a wish. And then I'm gonna get to go to Earth and become a serial killer. My dream. And then she walks out of the water and she's like, oh, I got these feet. And then she. And then she can't talk. And then she goes. And then she Kills the chef and then she walks over and then she kills the king and queen and then she walks over and Eric's like, you're beautiful. Didn't I save you on the beach? And she goes, yeah, now I'm gonna kill you on the beach.

[C]

15 seconds left.

[A]

This Halloween. Percussion, strings. Wings. Blood. There you see her sitting there across the way. You don't got a lot to say, but there's something about it. You don't know why, but you're dying to try. You want to kill the boy, Ursula, you're not even scary when you come back. And you're the bad guy. Cause I'm the bad guy this time. 16 year old redheads can be the bad guy. That's the lesson. That's the lesson of this. Change yourself to kill people.

[C]

See? Wonderful job.

[B]

Wonderful job, Aaron, that was really good.

[A]

I literally have a full year to prepare for these. But when they're kind of.

[B]

Can I. Aaron, that's just too much time. That problem is. That's too much time.

[C]

Yeah. You over prepare, Aaron? I am.

[A]

I'll give you the knife, Mary. You want a knife, Mary? What if I had done that?

[C]

Oh, for a wonderful knife, that would have been Aaron. Here's what I'll say.

[A]

Every time an angel falls from the sky. No. Every time a knife stabs, an angel dies from heaven.

[B]

Every time a knife stabs, an angel dies from heaven. Yeah.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, that's really good.

[C]

Aaron, I'm going to give you 50 points for.

[A]

Don't give me any points.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I know I did bad. Hey, Adam. I know I did bad.

[C]

Okay, so 50 points is bad, Aaron. Oh, so I guess they give you.

[B]

A bad amount of points.

[C]

You're rejecting the points. So, Aaron, you're going to stay at 240. JPC, you're up to 335, it looks like. Aaron, I will give you an option for a bonus 100 points if you are willing to do 5 seconds of a Jamaican accent.

[A]

I yield my time.

[C]

Okay. And Aaron, I think that's a smart move.

[B]

Yep. And Aaron, you said that your points that you didn't want to use you were going to donate to the Riyadh Comedy Festival, Correct?

[C]

Oh, that's so sweet of you. That absolves you of any wrongdoing.

[A]

Yeah, I yield my time.

[C]

Aaron, I am going to run this again so you have a chance to make up some goals.

[A]

Yeah. I need another shot at this.

[C]

Yeah. Yeah. So here's what we'll do. Jpc, we're back to you. I'm Gonna give you two options. You ready?

[B]

Sure. Yeah. Please.

[C]

Your options are the Fast and the Furiously Possessed or which is a play on the Fast and Furious. Or Home of Bones, which is a play on Home Alone.

[A]

That's a lot of fun.

[B]

I wasn't gonna guess either. What? I wasn't gonna guess that those weren't plays on those things. So if there were points on the line for Fast and Furious and Home Alone, I feel like I should retain those points.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Okay, which one do I know more about?

[C]

The Furiously Possessed or Home of Bones?

[B]

There have been more Fast and Furious movies, but I feel like Home Alone might be better for the Zeitgeist. I think I'll do. I think I'll do the Fast and Furious. Fast and the Furiously Possessed is what it's called.

[C]

That's what it is. Okay, See a two minute trailer and jpc. Your time starts now.

[B]

I see you when we get there. If we ever get there.

[C]

See you when we get there.

[B]

This Christmas, celebrate by going fast. Faster than a ghost on a roving diesel. We're going pretty fast. We're going fast enough. Cause it's about family. Oh, okay. Whatever you say, baby. Diesel. And me, I'm in the movie too. I'm Gal. And I have mastery over accents, the language that disappear into any play.

[C]

One minute left.

[B]

Oh. Oh. We better get going, Galvanor, or we're gonna miss the Christmas Day drive off. Hey, it's me, Ludacris. I'm on the moon or something. It's crazy on the moon. Oh, ludicrous. Oh, we should get. We should get down to the Christmas Day drive. How's the squad gonna all get back together? Oh, how's the squad gonna help get back together? Well, I'm not even in this movie. It looks like they got me over here working with Dwayne Johnson. That's right. It's me, Dwayne Johnson. Oh, boy. This is a scary movie coming to theaters only on Christmas because it wasn't done in time. And we. And we have to put it out this year or else it can't be a consideration for an Oscar. Oh, this. This isn't gonna win an Oscar. It's not very good. Good. And nobody's even in the same room. It seems like. It seems like you couldn't get any of these actors to work together anymore. This Christmas, the fast and the scariest. Hold on.

[A]

Oh my God, did you forget the title? Isn't that actually pretty easy to forget?

[B]

I actually think I came up with a better one.

[C]

And we'll call scene there.

[A]

Okay. I would like an apology for the amount of judgment I got from JPC for getting a title.

[B]

I think we would all love an apology.

[C]

I think I do have to technically give you zero points because you can change the title. And I think if you two go back and listen to previous Blair riddles. There was a point when it was, like, it seemed like trailers for, like, movies, if that makes sense. Oh, it seemed like movie trailers.

[A]

You wanted movie trailers. All right. Yeah.

[C]

You know what?

[B]

It's unfair to say that now because now Erin gets a turn, so it's like she's making notes.

[A]

I got it. I got it.

[B]

Based on my performance.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. I love it. Let's do it.

[B]

All right. All right.

[C]

You ready for your options?

[A]

Yep.

[C]

Your options are Back to the Butcher, back to the boocher, play on Back to the future, or to all the boys I've buried before a play on to all the boys I've loved before.

[A]

To Back to the Boocher, back to the Butcher.

[C]

Okay, Aaron, this is a trailer for the movie Back to the Boocher. Two minutes and your time starts now.

[A]

Ah. Oh. Ah. Hold on, hold on.

[B]

This Halloween they say hold on, hold on.

[A]

This Halloween nostalgia is coming back around. Oh, my gosh. I gotta go back to the future. Wait, what? I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna accidentally date my mom. We just are re releasing Back to the Future, but everyone's gonna really look at it with fresh eyes this time, huh? Pretty up what we did in that movie, huh? Featuring all your favorites. Michael J. Fox, the old guy, the guy who played the bully, the woman who played the mom, and that car that. That goes back in time.

[C]

One minute left.

[A]

We don't cut any of the scenes. We're leaving it all in. And. But this time, we're really gonna realize how weird it is that he flirts with his mom in the past. I want everyone to sort of think about how strange of a choice that was. They could have done anything in this movie, and they chose to do.

[C]

35.

[A]

Seconds left featuring the skateboard that flies through the air. That never came true. That red puffer mess, and other stuff from the movie Meryl Streep says. Why are you re releasing this? Wait, how did you get my number? This fall Back to the Boocher. It's just the same movie, but now.

[C]

We'Re just looking at it with fresh eyes and seed. Wow. Okay.

[A]

How'd I do?

[B]

You nailed Back to the Butcher.

[C]

You nailed Back to the Butcher. Hey, guys, I think I'm Blaming myself right now because I think, you know, I take existing movie titles and I put sort of a spooky spin on them, and I think that's causing. It hasn't in the past if you go back and listen to the previous episodes. But it feels like you guys are really caught up in, like, making sure.

[A]

It'S like honoring the original text.

[C]

Let me just do exactly Back to the Future and like, you know, because like, Fast and Furious is like Gal Gadot and Mickey Mouse.

[B]

So, you know, I think I've got enough at this point from your feedback to really nail one more. Is it possible that I could do one more? Do we have another one that I could maybe try?

[C]

Aaron, I'm gonna leave this to you. Would you like to do one more round of trailers so you each get that? Or would you like to go to Rap4Daddy? Which we do.

[A]

This is the easiest question of all time. Alex Trebek.

[C]

Okay, somehow we're letting you off the hook. Even though I will say last year for Blair riddle number seven. Aaron, if you go back and listen, you did say 2025 is your year for wrapping.

[A]

I will wrap at the end of this episode.

[C]

Okay?

[A]

I promise.

[C]

BBC.

[B]

I think it's better now that we get another round of this, now that we really know what this is about.

[C]

Yeah, okay.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

And maybe give us a title that isn't based on IP so we can feel really free.

[C]

You know what, Aaron? You're right. That makes me feel better because now I confirm it is my fault.

[A]

No, no, no. Not your fault. Not your fault. I'm saying we. It's our issue. We're dumb.

[B]

I will say this. I will say this. No matter what title that you give me. I think this is the one that I feel like I'm really going to knock out of the park.

[C]

Okay. Okay. And just a heads up because I don't want to feel like I'm, you know, tricking anybody or hiding how I'm judging movies. If any trailer features Gal Gadot, you do automatically get zero points.

[B]

Great.

[C]

Great. And that's just sort of. That's just sort of a standard I live by.

[B]

That's kind of what happens at the box office as well.

[C]

Enough champagne to fill the Nile jpc. Are you ready for your two titles that I'm going to make up right now? Your titles are An Axe to Grind.

[B]

An Axe to Grind or.

[C]

Buried Alive.

[A]

Great titles.

[B]

Really great titles. I think I'm going to take An Axe to Grind.

[C]

Okay, perfect. This is the trailer for An Axe to Grind. Your time starts now.

[B]

Hi, I'm Ryan Reynolds. You're about to see a trailer for my new movie, An Axe to Grind. Well, that's what I normally would be saying in front of one of these trailers. But because this movie is so gruesome and so violent, there's actually not a scene or even a sequence of scenes that we can show you. So instead we're just gonna simply show you this. This is going to be, I wanna say about 90 seconds of Aaron Keefe rapping. Her topic is chainsaw.

[A]

I got a ch. Hold on. Wait, you guys. You promised that you turned off your videos. You have to turn off your videos for me to rap. Okay, hold on. What rhymes? This saw. Okay, yeah. Okay, yeah. I shake your cat's paw, then I grab my new chainsaw. Then I kill your cat with the chainsaw cat. Because it's Halloween and I can be as mean as I want to be. I gotta chainsaw. No, I can hear you. You have to mute yourself too.

[C]

One minute left.

[A]

I gotta.

[B]

Oh, hey, this is Ryan Reynolds. So you've only seen about 30 seconds of the aired rapping thing. But again, the movie's just too violent. We, we really. It's called an Ax Grind. I mean this thing is gonna be violent. We can't, we can't show you the movie. All we can show you is Aaron wrapping. Her suggestion is pumpkin.

[A]

Oh no, no need to let me in because I'm a pumpkin and I'll sit on your porch for the whole month. That's a whole month. Cause I'll start to rot or a kid will come up, it'll smash me on the ground. But I hope not. Cause you carved a face until the face of a pumpkin. You took all my insides out. What was that about? I'm a pumpkin. What, what, what act to grab a pumpkin.

[B]

Hey everybody, Ryan Reynolds here one more time. So we didn't make the movie. It was a bad idea for a movie. And it's one of those things where technically the studio can shelf the movie, never release the movie and make way more money on it. I know, it's super complicated. It's kind of like back end Hollywood stuff. Anyway, I hope you enjoy that mint mobile suggestion.

[C]

Oh, you just got mint mobile in under the wire. Good for him. Very nice job. I especially Aaron, I love in the rap, the idea that you would sit on a porch all month long. I think that's a service people would love to see.

[A]

Well, I'm a pumpkin.

[C]

Because you're a pumpkin and jpc, I love that within your trailer, you set up Eren rapping, which is something I wanted to get to. So I very much appreciate that.

[B]

I didn't even. At all. I didn't even put that together.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I was just doing what felt honest for a trailer.

[C]

It came about organically because you know.

[B]

How sometimes it's like Tom Cruise would be like, welcome to the movies or whatever. Yeah.

[C]

Huh. He's like, I'm glad you're in the movies.

[A]

You know when you do, like, EMDR therapy and then you talk about your traumas and then you do the eye movement thing where you're trying to get bad images out of your head. If I ever.

[B]

I'll just say yes.

[A]

If I ever get to do that therapy, I'm going to shelve all my other trauma and say, can you get me to Forget what Adela JPC's faces look like when I start to rap? That's the image I want erased from my brain the soonest.

[B]

If you were rapping and we weren't around, would you still see us?

[A]

Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure.

[C]

If a tree wraps in the forest.

[A]

How did I do in the rapping, guys? Pretty, pretty bad, I think.

[B]

Really good, actually.

[C]

I really like. So I think you said for the first rap, you said something about, like, I got a chainsaw. Hold On. Which I think hold on could be almost like your. You know how like, DMX would always be like, rah Rah, or like, I think like, Ja Rule is always like.

[A]

Okay, well, in the Chainsaw song, I was about to go.

[C]

Aaron, that would have been a thousand points.

[B]

Yeah, that would be really good.

[A]

I was about to do it, then the music cut out.

[B]

I think, Aaron, for your, like, comfort zone, I think hold on is going to be way easier to incorporate into lots of your music.

[A]

No, no, I think I could do the chainsaw song.

[B]

You think you could do the chainsaw?

[A]

Yeah, I think I can use the chainsaw sound. That's no problem.

[B]

Okay, so that's done with trailers. Do we have time for Eren to wrap or. I don't want to end the episode without giving her a chance to do that segment because that's a really popular segment.

[C]

Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Well, let me real quick. Let me sort of award points here. So I think ultimately I do have to give zero points to both of you just because it feels like we're.

[A]

Blaming you for how bad we are.

[C]

At this, the sort of setup and the rules to the games. Seems like we're just really disregarding that this year.

[B]

Can I. Can I get maybe some bonus points if I can remember the name of the movie that I was supposed to be doing?

[C]

I will give you 100 bonus points if you remember the name of the movie in a Sebastian Jamaican accent.

[A]

It's a trap. Don't do it.

[B]

Well, hey, I got good news for you. I don't remember the name of the movie.

[A]

Oh, good.

[C]

Okay, Aaron, I'll give you an option to close out the show. You could either rap or wrap a trailer.

[A]

I'll wrap a trailer. No, just rap.

[B]

Okay, I'll wrap. I'll wrap.

[C]

I'll wrap.

[A]

I'll rap, and then jpc. At some point, I'm gonna throw it to you, and then you're gonna take it home. I'm gonna set up the rap, and then you're gonna. Okay, great.

[B]

Got it.

[C]

Okay, Aaron, here's your options for topics or themes to rap about. Are you ready? Great. Yeah, I'm gonna give you six.

[A]

Great.

[B]

Six.

[C]

I just. I want to set you up as best as possible.

[A]

No, you're doing great. I love it. I'm ready.

[B]

Could that be too much? Could that be, like, maybe.

[A]

Give me three. Give me three. Give me 3.

[C]

I'm going to give you 6. Okay, Aaron, your options are gravestones, poison masks, tarot, dark alleys, full moons. And these are not Lucky Charms, marshmallows. These are options. Gravestones, poison masks, tarot, dark alleys, full moons.

[A]

Hmm.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

I thought six would lead to an immediate choice.

[A]

I'm gonna go full moons.

[C]

Full moons. Aaron, this is your wrap to close out the show about full moons. Aaron, whenever you're ready, wrap away.

[A]

Yeah. I'm a werewolf, and it's my time of the month. It's time to change. Look at the full moon. I was in the middle of watching Dune with Timothy Chalamet. He's a cute jbz. I can see you.

[B]

You said I was supposed to come.

[C]

In at some point.

[A]

Yeah, I'm gonna. Wait, hold on. I'll tell you when it's time to come in.

[B]

So I have to turn my camera off until it. Okay, fine.

[A]

The moon. Wait, wait. This mew tune is gonna make it. You swoon at the moon like me. I'm a werewolf. And look over there. It's a vampire. And it's his verse. Do it.

[B]

Well, the music cut out. Can I get music back?

[A]

That was humiliating. Here comes a vampire. He's about to rap and go.

[B]

She said I was a werewolf. Now I'm a vampire.

[A]

You're a vampire.

[B]

Great. Hey, it's Ryan Riddles. You're seeing me again? Skin I'm steady sipping on aviation gin? If you call me I'll be a while? You'll hit up my mint mobile? Reckon FC is my soccer club? If you see me in the club, show me some love? I'm Ryan Reynolds. I was in Blade Trinity. If you see a movie this summer, you'll be seeing me. Yeah, I'm in a lot. I don't want to talk about Blade Lively. We got buried at the plantation. Not really something I'm proud of. Oh.

[A]

Oh. It's over.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Very nice job. Very nice.

[B]

I think pretty good.

[C]

Yeah, I think pretty good. I think I won. I'm gonna give zero points to both of you. But here's what we'll do.

[B]

Smart.

[C]

Let's get to a riddle. How do you fix a Jack o lantern? How do you fix at Jack o' lantern?

[B]

Oh, okay.

[A]

This is probably won't have to wait a year for this. We'll get this.

[C]

Yeah, we'll find out next year. Aaron, what's the spookiest planet?

[B]

Jupiter forever.

[A]

Hit me with the rap. I'll rap about Jupiter on our way out. Casey, I'm gonna make you a little bit stupider. I'm gonna rap a planet called Jupiter. Jbc, You're a vampire. Now it's your turn to rap.

[B]

What's that planet in the sky? Me oh my, oh, me oh my. I think it might be Saturn or some other thing.

[A]

It's broken. My chainsaw is broken. It won't turn on.

[B]

Mint mobile.

[A]

Oh, no. How to delete my tracks.

[B]

This is being Blair Riddle. Riddle evoked by Adult Terrify starring Scare and keep John Pat for the coin. She's scary enough. It's a horror manga. Read a book and hardy get it on the pyramid. Hey there, kings and mumbles. I know I have cried wolf a couple of times, but on this week's Patreon, we finally get to King Mumble's castle. You can listen to that plus our entire back [e-mail] haverinoldrendel by joining the clue crew for $5 a month or start your 7 day free trial or the review crew for $8 a month. Plus you get those ad free episodes. See you there.

[A]

That was a headgum podcast.

[B]

What's going on? It's Lamorne Morris and Hannah Simone and we host the Mess Around a New Girl Rewatch podcast now on Headgun. Now here's the thing. Every single week we chat about an episode of New Girl and we really get into it like we get up in there. We get up in there. You know, we reminisce about our times on set. We share behind the scenes tea. We react to rewatching episodes that we haven't seen in years. We talk about how Jake Johnson is dog.

[A]

That's not true.

[C]

We talk about so many memories we.

[A]
