Episodes
Num | Date | Title | Synopsis |
---|---|---|---|
46 | 3/24/2009 | Season Two “Prem-yah.” | Our fascination with Jai Alai is in full swing. What’s a goykachea? |
47 | 4/1/2009 | Nicknames, and their relative deservedness. | We’re trying to begin Twittering. Also, we want new listeners to understand what we do. It’s all schtick, kids. |
48 | 4/7/2009 | Aaaaand… | We recap the Boston Crossword Tournament (yes, we competed!) and take a photograph of a huge, dead rodent. |
49 | 4/13/2009 | The Contest. | Via Twitter, we offer our first podcast contest. |
50 | 4/20/2009 | Thunder vs. Lightning | The beginning of the Thunder Round, as well an interview with Elissa Grossman, coordinator of the Los Angeles Crossword Tournament. |
51 | 4/28/2009 | Hooray! It’s our milespone episode! | Discussions of other puzzle features (Wired magazine, the One Day University) and another Fill Me In themed puzzle comes our way. |
52 | 5/5/2009 | Would you like to sponsor our lack of sponsorship? | Recap of the L.A. tournament with Doug Peterson. Also Tyler Hinman calls in with a new contest. |
53 | 5/11/2009 | Something old, something new, something borrowed… and a buzzer. | The spreadsheet is born. Unbelievable. |
54 | 5/18/2009 | Take your lederhosen and get out of here! | |
55 | 5/25/2009 | We’re on Abe Vigoda time. | Xan Vongsathorn’s name is a vongsathorn in our side. |
56 | 6/2/2009 | Numquam uidi iniquius certationem comparatam… | We’re starting to play with sound effects. Uh-oh. |
57 | 6/9/2009 | Please find us, Christina Applegate. We think you’re awesome. | It’s Brian’s 36th birthday, and he dreams about a podcast interview with Christina Applegate. |
58 | 6/15/2009 | Hey people who don’t listen to us — why aren’t you listening? | Lollapuzzoola 2 is in the developmental stages. |
59 | 6/23/2009 | Reduced to a PG-13 rating (now without nudity, foul language, or humor). | We worry about the future of the second Sunday puzzle. We still have a petition up, but it’s looking a little thin. |
60 | 6/30/2009 | There’s a bobcat in our bag. | Mostly the standard segments — viewer mail, Xan Vongsathorn, contests. |
61 | 7/7/2009 | *Unedited, unplugged, unlistened… | Soup is a little too prevalent, we think. But we offer a rare segment: The Crossword Tip of the Quartermonth. |
62 | 7/14/2009 | The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, an anagram thereof. | In honor of Bastille Day, we interview Brendan Emmett Quigley. |
63 | 7/21/2009 | If you were a flute, what kind of animal would you be? | For some reason, terrible audio quality (not as bad as early in Season One, but weirdly metallic and outer-spacey). It’s still a good show, though. |
64 | 7/28/2009 | The Peter Gordon Show | We’ve got an interview and the World’s Worst Crossword Puzzle courtesy of constructor/editor and sextuple-threat Peter Gordon. |
65 | 8/4/2009 | Nom nom nom | We’ve got a picture of a bunny nibbling on something and a bit of music that may or may not be protected by copyright. |
66 | 8/11/2009 | Try being nicer. | Brian and Ryan are labeled as “mean.” Sad, not entirely accurate, but not entirely inaccurate either. |
67 | 8/18/2009 | Jab rhymes with cab and lons rhymes with Fonz. | The largest Viewer Mail bag to date, we return to the Vongsathorn family, and the Crossword Tip of the Quartermonth discusses quote puzzles. |
68 | 8/25/2009 | Breaking news — Lollapuzzoola is finally over! | It’s the Lollapuzzoola Recap episode. If you were there, you know what happened. If you weren’t, you got some ’splainin’ to do. |
69 | 9/1/2009 | The Oracle, The Innovator, The Math Teacher of Xan Vongsathorn’s Sister. | We receive some awesome Viewer Mail, and confirm a surprising connection between two of our fans. |
70 | 9/8/2009 | Buon Giorno, Gionata Papelbuono! | With 50% of the hosting team overseas, the podcast faces a major obstacle in bringing entertainment to the (minuscule) masses. |
71 | 9/15/2009 | I’m in a ukulele band. | Old stories brought back and completed! Old friends discovered in new places! |
72 | 9/22/2009 | …and Bingo was his name-o. | We play games with our audience whether they are listening or not. |
73 | 9/29/2009 | A small break from daily indoctrination. | Our roving reporter reports on Pleasantville (the tournament-hosting town, not the movie), and Ryan and Brian offer a special musical performance. |
74 | 10/6/2009 | And if you also went to Vassar, we’ll say your name next week. | Ryan flies solo for almost two minutes without crashing the plane. |
75 | 10/13/2009 | [They may go up in a plane.] | Beef stew and a battle royal between all the Greeks and Romans that Fill Me In has to offer. |
76 | 10/20/2009 | The dictionary is the enemy of the podcast. | Brian is censored, Ryan narrates a film trilogy and more complaints run rampant with regards to out-of-the-language French. |
77 | 10/27/2009 | The Phillies super cream cheese monkey a*s suck. | All baseball players play baseball, and Ryan loves baseball — but Ryan does not love all baseball players. |
78 | 11/3/2009 | A random sort of thing. | Mike Nothnagel has a doppelganger. Happy Halloween! |
79 | 11/10/2009 | Go to Connecticut, take a right and just keep going. | Desperate for attention, we beg you to rate us on iTunes. Even if you don’t want to. |
80 | 11/17/2009 | This one night, Charlize Theron tickled my stomach. | Really, the title kinda says it all. |
81 | 11/24/2009 | Shut that damn bouzouki up! | Ryan knows more than Brian does about music. |
82 | 12/1/2009 | It started as a stick, but then I called it a podcast. | A whole bunch of names, and Ryan has very firm opinions about something that no one ever really wanted to argue with him in the first place. |
83 | 12/8/2009 | In which you’ll wish Ryan had never started with the whole Thor thing. | The diatribe continues, much to the chagrin of at least one co-host. |
84 | 12/15/2009 | I am the music; you are the circus. | The move to Mac may be less than anyone had hoped. |
85 | 12/22/2009 | Mohammed and Crosscan, leaders in their own way. | The original Winner of the Contest becomes part of his own legacy. |
86 | 1/5/2010 | We call this one “Happy New Year, everyone!” | Welcome to 2010! We offer our 2009 Year In Review, and name several people as Best Of without offering them a single prize. That’s how we do it! |
87 | 1/12/2010 | Please forgive us, for we did not know that Venkatasubramanyan rhymes with bunion. | One of our New Year’s resolutions is to actually talk about more puzzles. This episode lives up to that. Will the next one live up to this one? |
88 | 1/19/2010 | Platinum limb and addled gain gives the bird (9). | It’s a contest within a contest, plus we solve one more clue in Ryan’s cryptic crossword. |
89 | 1/26/2010 | Remember when Episodes 87 and 88 were issued on vinyl? | Welcoming Ryan back from Costa Rica, we immediately begin discussing things he doesn’t understand, like cryptic crosswords. Yes, still. |
90 | 2/2/2010 | This episode has been placed in your capable hands. | Interviews are back! We talk about puzzle, chicken and Mad Magazine with Patrick Merrell. |
91 | 2/9/2010 | Superbowl Tuesday! | Superbowl predictions, Outsider puzzles and the agenda. |
92 | 2/16/2010 | ACPT — Here we come! | Pre-ACPT interviews with Tyler, Trip, Francis, Dan and Howard, 13 minutes with Will Shortz, a double thunder round, and holy crap, the big weekend is moments away! |
93 | 2/23/2010 | Season Finale – The 2010 ACPT | It’s our season finale, and ACPT wrap-up. You’ll never guess the twist ending that no one saw coming. Even now that it’s happened, it’s difficult to believe. |
