Fill Me In #379: Waaay better than an anary.

It's a long show, but it's worth it, as Ryan and Brian are joined in the studio by Shannon Rapp (aka Norah Sharpe / an Expert in Sconces / "the name is fake but the puzzles are real."™). We've got surprising homophones eunuchs/UNIX, more Eric than you knew was possible, a Thunder Round of non-NYT delicacies, and a new segment of "Kealoa," featuring UGH vs. ICK.
