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.

  • I do not hold a grudge

    I have a mild case of swinophobia and an unforgiving personality but testament to this podcast that I still consider it one of my favourites anyway. The friendship and humour of the hosts makes it so easy to come back to again and again and the Patreon feed is even better. I actually started listening first and foremost because I think Erin is so funny and lovely, but also because, based on some bizarre reviews, I thought it was some kind of comedy horror fiction podcast. To be fair, sometimes i... more

  • Good company for us who are a bit mentally unstable

    Love this podcast! It’s been such good and comforting company while I’ve been working hard at recovering from some pretty severe mental illness. While it may not necessarily have aided my recovery, it definitely made me feel less alone in my insanity. Definitely recommend! Lots of love from northern Sweden

    Edit: As a Greg that enjoys a beverage or three at office functions, I feel called out.

    Something has changed within me, something is not the same. I just saw Tom Brady and I think my period just came.

  • Came to laugh, stayed to cry

    A show that’ll sometimes make you laugh but for the most part induces fits of uncontrollable screams and night terrors. Most your family and friends will cut you off, but you won’t be alone in your madness cause Adal, Erin, and JPC will be right there with you. Especially since I, JPC, am a local feral cat named Scratches that everyone is scared of but no one is willing to stand up to! I sneak into local businesses and steal all the flushers on their toilets. Anyway Erin is a goddess and Adal is... more

Q: Which planet in our solar system probably tastes the best?
They joke about Uranus as the likely candidate, while comparing others like Mars and Neptune for texture and flavor, ending with a light, silly consensus that Uranus might be the tastiest due to its name pun and chocolate-like associations.
