About this episode

Soren and Daniel discuss an unsolvable New York Times crossword puzzle and various related topics.

A New York Times crossword puzzle was accidentally unsolvable, which raises an important question: when something doesn’t make sense, is it broken, or are you just dumb? Soren and Daniel talk puzzles (both kinds), people who follow rules vs. people who look for loopholes, and why car horns should probably be illegal or at least--lest we be branded authoritarian--exhaustible. Then later, would you be surprised to learn that Soren got into another fight? Or that Daniel is unprepared to talk about Wheel of Fortune? All that PLUS Air Bud is Republican Coded and Soren is doing some facial hair things. To explore coverage, visit ASPCApetinsurance.com/QUESTION.
