Fill Me In

Psst! — we forget that we've said things on the show before. But, *ahem* — we don't mind repeating ourselves! Best way to complain is to write us email. We love it. Today: The Sound of Music, the wor…

We call it a "season finale," but it's really just Ryan and Brian babbling at each other, like always. This week, it's a spoiler-free Lolla recap (you can still get the puzzles!) -- plus, don't you w…

This week, Ryan and Brian get down and dirty with French impressionist art -- that's right, it's the long-awaited MONET/MANET edition of Kealoa. Plus: NYT crosswords, undeniable sandwiches, and Ryan …

This week, Brooke Husic and Sid Sivakumar visit the studio to drop the big news of the week — the Lollapuzzoola constructor lineup! Ryan's also got a new favorite sandwich, plus at least one viewer d…

This week, Will Eisenberg and Shannon Rapp join Ryan and Brian in the studio to talk about meta crosswords, flowers they don't understand, and exactly where the crook goes in the leadpipe -- plus, th…

This week, Ryan and Brian get in deep with movies, Twitter, Vicki Lawrence, and what does or does not belong in a small velvet pouch. You might think that's all, but -- AHA! Kealoa is back, plus we h…

This week, Ryan and Brian reach a milestone and celebrate with a weird discussion about tooth-pulling, musicals that need not be, and a general haze of feeling old. No kealoa this week, but we do hav…

This week, there are clubs without hosts, songs without performances, and a first-time Viewer Mail correspondent thinks he's super funny. Kealoa is back, if you give a darn about that sort of thing.

…

This week, Brian descends upon Cloverdale and the boys go old school, recording the show with one microphone, a hot studio lacking ventilation, and zero audio editing capabilities. If you're in Calif…

This week, Ryan and Brian learn new principles of sandwich-making, struggle with late week crosswords, and attempt to promote the hell out of the upcoming Lollapuzzoola tournament in August. But puhl…

This week, Ryan and Brian are joined by Ben Zimmer for a spot of spelling and a piece of apizza. There's also the return of Kealoa and a fantastic contest puzzle from Brian Gubin!

If you get bored…

We're back! After a nearly unprecedented two-week absence, Ryan and Brian return with their greatest hits -- hidden name crosswords, nachos-or-not-nachos, and failed efforts at pronunciation. All tha…

This week, Ryan and Brian ... well, the predictable truth is that they talk about food and baseball, Ryan gleefully upsets Brian, and Brian rants for about ten minutes too long on topics no one cares…

This week, Ryan and Brian kibbitz about Jewish food, practice pronunciation, and discover the abundant array of thunder gods in the universe. And because you're all barking and braying for more Kealo…

This week, Ryan and Brian learn the numerically least amount about football possible, experiment with words and phrases no one actually says, and fantasize that there's a parallel universe with a Fre…

If you're into listening to Ryan and Brian talk, then you're in luck this week. They take a crack at the ACPT puzzles from both 2023 and 1983, examining the good, the bad, and the stuff they didn't u…

This week, Ryan and Brian mention Passport Rummy, Banana Slingshot, and Lemonade Disco -- but only two of three are actually things. Brian cackles more than usual, and Ryan screws up the Viewer Mail …

This week, Ryan and Brian discuss copyright, collectibles, tobacco, and the apparently hysterical death of a cat. Content is scarce ... or is it sparse? Listen to this week's Kealoa to find out!

If …

This week, Brian is joined by musical theater connoisseur Rachel Fabi for an in-depth analysis of Bad Cinderella. Actually, yes -- but we also talk crosswords and most notably draw your attention to …
