Fill Me In #402: The bitter vetch.


Listen Later

This week, Will Eisenberg and Shannon Rapp join Ryan and Brian in the studio to talk about meta crosswords, flowers they don't understand, and exactly where the crook goes in the leadpipe -- plus, things get a little intense with a three-way Kealoa!

Things to click:

  • Will's crossword blog, Twitter, and Bluesky
  • Shannon's crossword blog, Twitter, and Bluesky
  • The AVCX, which you should definitely get
  • Lemonade Disco, and definitely not the other thing we probably should never have said
  • Manny's Diner, where the sandwiches may not be tasty and they can't count to three
  • and Lollapuzzoola, which happens on August 19

We're putting these words here to help with search engine optimization. We don't think it will work, but you probably haven't read this far, so it doesn't matter: baseball, crossword, crosswords, etymology, game, hunt, kealoa, movies, musicals, mystery, oscar, pizza, puzzle, puzzles, sandwiches, soup, trivia, words
