Episode 288 - Close Non-matches

About this episode

The episode discusses close non-matches and includes a new game about regional quirkisms.

Happy New Year 2026! The boys are back in town, with a new game: Regional Quirkisms. After discussing Minnesota quirkisms, the guys answer a listener question from Ireland: "What's the most number of corresponding minutiae that you have seen from two impressions from different sources?". This leads to a deep dive on close non-matches. The guys share their tips, tricks, and red flag warnings for dealing with close non-matches. They discuss a few examples and talk about the relevant research on this topic.
