Saturday, September 5, 2026 — We'd Be Lyin' If We Said We Weren't Curious About the LION Dance 🙄

Both cohosts found today's crossword easier than yesterday's, but *just* as entertaining. It featured some phenomenal clues, including those discussed on today's episode, but here are a few more to whet your appetite: - 29A, European landmark whose name begins with an "A" in classical literature, ETNA (curious!) - 1A, Made chitchat, SCHMOOZED (curiouser!!) - 31A, Reduced price?, AMT (curiousest??) We also have a poker aficionado set us straight on the question of poker rivers in today's listener mail. You'll *definitely* want to check out all that, and you can do so, *very* easily, by clicking on the ol' play button, somewhere in the vicinity of where you are reading these words. Show note imagery: Definitely not your typical African lions, doing the lion dance in Qinhuangdao, China. We love feedback! Send us a text... **Contact Info:** We love listener mail!
