For your edification, we present our analysis of a nice -- in fact, twice as nice! -- crossword by Carolyn Davies Lynch that really has a lot to commend it, most notably some really, really difficult clues! Fortunately there were not too many pop-culture references: we did have 16A, Many Eras Tour attendees, SWIFTIES, but Taylor Swift may be the most famous woman on the planet, and so even Mike was able to suss that one out.

Beyond the crossword, we have a fine Fun Fact Friday™️ segment for your enjoyment, and, as promised, a video showing 46A, Metal that "cries" when bent, TIN.

Show note imagery: An IMPALA, able to leap 10 feet off the ground!
