Audible proof of the second law of thermodynamics
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.Read full review »

I heard about y’all on MBMaM, which was perfect timing since I’m at home sick. The first three episodes filled me with joy and now I need like 45 more, stat. I particularly love the role play parts and the sprinkling of black humor.

I hate riddles with a fiery passion, but I love this podcast. Probably because they bash riddles as much as I do.
