Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Tuesday, June 3, 2025 - TAUPE, *the* perfect color choice for a toupee 🙄


Listen Later

There was a lot to love in today's crossword, but it had us at 25A, Ref. work with definitions for "colour" and "aluminium", OED (our favorite reference work of all time). We became even more smitten thanks to 27A, Andy Warhol's "Campbell's Soup Cans," e.g.,  POPART; and the kicker had to be the shoutout to one of our favorite foodstuffs, 30D, Vegan protein source, TOFU (yum!).

Since it is Tuesday, we have another one of our patented, trademarked and copyrighted Triplet Tuesday™️ segments, so to see how Mike (in the hotseat tonight) fared, have a listen to today's episode.

Show note imagery: The OED, further proof that the Brits don't know how to do anything by halves 😀
