    Oh, BAIZE

    If you're looking for a THRILL...or the definition of BAIZE, you've come to the right place. This week on T&B we're bringing our PIZZAZZ and our PIZAZZ! It's a little bit wild, a little bit silly, and a whole lotta RADICOLOUS.

    COUCH Potatoes

    Baby, it's cold outside...and if we can't be hot potatoes, at least we can be COUCH potatoes! This week on T&B there's a BOOMLET of winter words, an AGELONG debate over AMBIENCE, and a bit of a HICCOUGHING fit. Take a listen and find out what makes this episode "friggin' terrific"!

    Strut Your Stuff

    AARGH , Mateys!

    C's back and you're about to listen to an all-new episode of T&B! What you have to look forward to: We get mad about MIGNONETTE, find the logic in HOROLOGIC, and pontificate about PROPAGANDA (which, by the way, is an intentional pun that you may only understand when you get to the final segment, so hang in there!)

    Hometown Pride

    **This episode first aired on November 13, 2023** Do foot bones count in the NYTimes Spelling Bee? What’s the deal with New England donuts? And what the heck is Gen Z talking about?? This week we’re going back to answer these and other burning questions from previous episodes. But it’s not all housekeeping: We’re also checking the LOOKBOOK, attending the LUNCHEON, and loading up the BOOKMOBILE. It’s an episode of BIBLICAL proportions!

    We Bee ADDLED

    This episode of T&B is LADEN with PETTIFOG, milky LETTUCE and more ÉLAN than most people can handle...or should we say MANHANDLE? Join us for a tubular time...and sadly, no, we weren't drinking while recording this one. [Background piano playing courtesy of Gustave]
