we spin up the wheel of randomness to land on a trivia game. The game included, questions about Georgia’s decline, Carrie Fisher’s identity, and Alexander Graham Bell’s family history.
Other questions included: the official language of Portugal (Portuguese), the company that makes Brisk iced tea (Lipton), and the landmark in New York City that served as an entry point for millions of immigrants (Ellis Island). They also identified the deadly sin that describes a lazy person (sloth) and the number 6 hit song from 1970 (“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”). Finally, they discussed the term for a place where battered women can find shelter (asylum).

Terry read out several bizarre stories of pets ingesting or getting into various objects, including a dog that ate a holiday ham and another that swallowed an air pod. Jill shared a story about a UK man who broke his neck after tripping over his cat, which led to a discussion about pets causing harm to their owners.
The news continues with various pet-related stories, including a canine surfing championship near San Francisco where dogs compete in weight classes and perform tricks on boards. Terry shared a story about a forest fire in British Columbia that was allegedly started when an eagle dropped a fish onto a transformer, causing a power outage. Jill then told a story about Milwaukee Brewers coach Pat Murphy, who was known for eating snacks like pancakes and pizza out of his pocket during games, leading the team to start selling pancakes at stadium concessions.
But wait, there’s more! We have two animal-related stories. Keith shared details about the annual Chincoteague Pony Swim in Virginia, where wild ponies make an annual swim across a channel, an event that gained worldwide attention after being featured in a 1947 children’s novel. Terry then shared a story about a Chihuahua in Texas who set a Guinness World Record by removing 11 bottle caps in one minute on his 4th birthday, a skill he demonstrated naturally without any practice.
we discussed several words and their meanings, including “horology” (the study of time), “ossify” (to turn into bone), “sonorous” (relating to sound), and “inveigle” (to talk someone into something). They also discussed the word “corybantic,” which they incorrectly pronounced and initially thought might be related to weight loss drugs, but was actually defined as meaning “wild frenzy or crazy.” The final word they discussed was “riviere,” which they incorrectly pronounced and initially thought might be related to the French Riviera, but was actually defined as a necklace of gems that increases in size towards the middle.
Terry shared a humorous top 10 list of things you can do without teeth, including gumming food, winning staring contests, whistling, and enjoying ice cream. The conversation concluded with Keith sharing a story about sailors using false teeth to chew food outside their mouths.
