Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Saturday, May 18, 2024 - Hey, where'd all the black squares go? 😀

Today's crossword looked daunting - a sea of white squares, and two  3-stack sets of grid-spanning answers. But while our first reaction was 36A, [Uh-oh], GULP, and our second reaction was 59A, "I'm speechless", THEREARENOWORDS", we used our 15D, Spots for berets, TETES, and were able to noodle  a solution without too many 42AS, Official administrations, OATHS. 

In other news, we've identified today's JAMCOTWA. Have a listen, and let us know if you agree, disagree, or none-of-the-above, just reach out via the usual e-mechanisms (Email, Facebook, or the new Fan Mail link).

Show note imagery: THEBARD, sobriquet behind 154 sonnets
