This week, Ryan and Brian receive information about nuclear fusion, non-placental reproduction, and Högertrafikomläggningen, and yet feel they've actually learned nothing. (Cover art this week is by John Froehlich, and it's pretty cool.)

Fill Me In #532: Extremely low jostle tolerance. Mar 24, 2026

Fill Me In #531: The epitome of serendipity. Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

This week, Ryan and Brian make no progress in understanding international travel, cultural holidays, or the distinctions between two playwrights. Thanks to a mouse, this week's show was recorded on a Friday, so it'll be up to the viewers to tell the hosts all about the Saturday and Sunday puzzles.

Fill Me In #530: How do you get juice from a nearly desiccated plum? Mar 10, 2026

Show notes

This week, Ryan and Brian revisit Manet/Monet mnemonics, make an effort to self-educate on Jewish holidays, question the powers of various fruit juices, and get an abundance of antipodal advice on maintaining crossword streaks. All that plus annoying the crap out of Ryan with another Kealoa.

Fill Me In #529: Serving all American style sandwiches done in wraps, hot dogs and milk shakes. Mar 03, 2026

Stuff to click:

Fill Me In #528: About halfway between where we are now and Sacramento. Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

This week, Ryan and Brian ponder Manet/Monet mnemonics (say that ten times fast), feel ancient when faced with allegedly comedic "memes" and "other internet lore," and realize they don't actually understand how groundhogs determine the weather.
