This week on T&B weâre revisiting a few âstrandsâ from last weekâs episode, rehashing an old conversation about FILLIP, taking another look at those GLUTEI, and having feelings about MICROMINI. Are we VICTIMs of the Beeâs befuddling waysâŠor are we active agents in the experience of our own game play? Thereâs only one way to find out.

Weâre back from Puerto Rico and freezing cold! So bear with us as we reminisce about the beach, fruity cocktails, andâŠBURGOO? From LIVIDITY-producing words for gruel to big ideas like GOOGOL, weâre covering more ground than a MANKINI. Jaredjoins us for surf speak in an extra wild Wild Card.

Just go with it.

In this episode, Valentineâs Day meets the Super Bowl meets the NYTimes Spelling Bee. The result? AGELONG entertainment and BALLYARD (sem)antics! It doesnât matter whether you go LONGAN or go wide, with T&B hitting play is the winning play every time.

If your HOBBY is the NYTimes Spelling Bee, come HOBNOB withus! On this penultimate episode of T&B Season 4, weâre tackling crucial questions like: What the heck happened with HAMACHI? Who wouldnât want a CHIA bee? When is a PINNY not a penny? And why is âPop Goes the Weaselâ a perfect tune for word puzzle enthusiasts? We may have limited rizz, but weâve got risibility galoreâŠand a rousing performance inspired by Tim Alborn, if you can make it to the end.

Here at T&B, we like our TAMARI on a TATAMI and our belly laughs by the BOTTLEFUL. We also like a good interview with a NYTimes Spelling Bee-inspired limerick writer! Thatâs right, fellow Word Nerds, weâre talking with the very poetic Tim Alborn, and all INDICIA suggest this is one hu-MUNG-ous episode you wonât want to miss.

Itâs our second annual live, mostly unedited, Thanksgiving show!

This weekâs episode of T&B is TEETOTALLY for the birds--and we mean that in the most literal possible way! Weâre talking about the puteketeke, the gooney, and the LINNET. But donât get your tailfeatherses ruffled if winged words arenât your thing. MEATLOAF, PANDITs, and NOOGIEs are also in the mix, along with a wild card that Scrabble-lovers will fall over laughing for.

Do foot bones count in the NYTimes Spelling Bee? Whatâs the deal with New England donuts? And what the heck is Gen Z talking about?? This week weâre going back to answer these and other burning questions from previous episodes. But itâs not all housekeeping: Weâre also checking the LOOKBOOK, attending the LUNCHEON, and loading up the BOOKMOBILE. Itâs an episode of BIBLICAL proportions!

Remember the carefree days of youth, when all seemed right with the world and the only bodily pains you had were growing pains? Nope, we donât either! On this episode of T&B, we are officially claiming the status of ANCIENT, distracting ourselves from reality with a GIGUE, and delving into the realms of fantasy and Facebook, where anyone can be a god and everyone has an AVATAR to prove it. To top it all off, weâre using our ancient brains to solve the NYTimes word game, ConnectionsâŠlive! If youâre looking for escapism, youâve come to the right place.

What do you get when you throw two jet-lagged word nerds in a room, take away their usual recording equipment, and ask them to say the longest place name in the world? A pod oâ gold, of course! Just returned from our jaunt through England, Wales, and Ireland, weâre back with Spelling Bee banter, lighthearted HECKLING, and a lesson in how to pronounce Welsh all kinds of wrong.

With C & Jenn on a well-deserved holiday, they called in the reinforcements: two-time T&B guest/unofficial T&B fan club president Jared Goodman to host.
He covers all your favorite segments, from the Week in Bees to Word of the Week to Strange Words (or is there another name in the works?) and a Wildcard that has to be listened to at 2x speed to bee-lieve.
But don't get your hayforks out, just yet. C & Jenn are back next week!
