Hey Riddle Riddle Patreon Preview #339: "I've Got a Silver Sausage!"

Podcast: Hey Riddle Riddle
Hosts: Adal Rifai, Erin Keif, John Patrick Coan
Date: September 5, 2025

Episode Overview

This special Patreon preview episode marks the long-awaited return of the beloved "Disney Twins" narrative after a 4.5-year hiatus. Hosts Adal, Erin, and JPC revive their off-the-wall improvisational side story, picking up with Danny and Deborah Disney—two bizarre characters who, last we knew, had been transformed into a soiled street pizza and a shuttered Joseph A. Banks store. The team navigates their characters’ surreal predicament, laughs through absurd scenarios, reflects on forgotten fast-food menu items, and dives headlong into improvisational whimsy, with plenty of meta-commentary and in-jokes for longtime listeners.

• The ensuing confusion from Erin and JPC sets the tone for the blend of real-life banter and fictional absurdity.
• Adal: “Since we've done a Disney Twins. When we last left—runs to the door—It's locked.” (01:07)
• JPC and Erin try to recall previous story details, poking fun at the unreliable memories of improvisers and listeners alike (01:55).

2. Recapping the Absurd Past

3. Back Alley Reunion—Improvised Scene

• Adal describes a scene: “A soiled pizza and a shuttered Joseph A. Banks store...just have a little scene to catch up after four years in squalor.” (03:04)
• JPC (as Danny): “Well, Deborah, that didn’t work out.” (03:19)
• Erin (as Deborah): “Well, it went well for like three years. But we’re not showing that part, are we?” (03:21)
• They riff about the melancholy and bizarre reality of their forms, especially the mechanics of running a suit store as a sentient building and the etiquette of eating pizza inside said store (03:32–04:13).

4. Transformation Back to Humanity

• Adal has both improvise rolling for a D20 to resolve their fate—a playful D&D element.
• Erin “rolls” a 20 and regains her human form, while JPC rolls a 12, becoming "mostly" human but retaining weird suit rack appendages (04:40–07:01).

• Erin: “McDonald's has pizzas?” (05:09)
• JPC: “I remember when Wendy’s had fried chicken.” (05:29)
• This tangent becomes a recurring meta-joke as they compare solariums to Tolkien’s Sauron (05:36–05:52).

6. Awkward Romance, Meta-Jokes, and Clowning

• Adal, as narrator, pushes for a “second kiss” between the siblings, which quickly devolves into meta-joking about “booking a weeklong cruise together and one backs out.” (07:32–08:03)
• Erin: “That’s like being abandoned on my birthday level mean.” (07:38)
• The cast riffs on childhood memories of being excluded, blending real stories with the in-universe absurdity (08:03–08:14).

7. Surreal Awakening and the Introduction of Chuck Fuckett

• The scene resets in a classic “head-to-foot” sleeping arrangement in bed, furthering the cartoonish family dynamic (08:24–09:12).
• Introduction of “Chuck Fuckett” (an example of their signature irreverent naming)—a kid on a quest for the “silver sausage.” (09:12–09:34)
• Chuck (Adal): “I’m never gonna find that silver sausage. I feel like everyone else in the world has found a silver sausage except for me.” (09:35)

For listeners new and old, this episode is quintessential Hey Riddle Riddle: cheerfully chaotic, fourth-wall-crushing, and loaded with callbacks. It’s less about solving riddles and more about showcasing three comedians at the top of their improv game—relishing in their own weird mythology and inside jokes.
