from Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword · host MP
This was Mason Hyunjin Lee's first ever NYTimes crossword, especially impressive since he's still in high school! Here's hoping his English teacher gives bonus points, he deserves it. We recommend 1 bonus point for 23A, Low-quality synthetic images, informally, AISLOP; 2 bonus points for 66A, Mother of a stable family?, MARE (ha!); and — we're in a generous mood — a whopping 4 bonus points for 28D, "Sleep is like a ___: It only comes to you if you ignore it": Gillian Flynn, CAT. Well done, Mason!!Show note imagery: Tarsiers, who feel some weird compulsion to always vote AYE when asked for their opinion 😀 We love feedback! Send us a text...Contact Info:We love listener mail!
