WEEK THIRTY-NINE: From the Library of Congress

Jeff toured the Library of Congress's World War I exhibit, and has loads of notes from Vinnie about the exhibit: hyphenates, four-minute men, the suffragette Carrie Chapman Catt, Hoover cards. Plus a quiz on the books of Walter Lord, the birthday of actress-turned incontinence spokesperson June Allyson, and theories about Thomas Jefferson's role in Optimus Prime's parentage.

WEEK THIRTY-EIGHT: Red Auerbach

A discussion about drummer Buddy Rich leads Jeff and Vinnie to discuss their favorite celebrity meltdown. A discussion about Edgar Degas led to a discussion of Degas's appearances in time-travel movies. A discussion about food riots leads to how potato rolls work. A quiz about Red Auerbach leads to, uh, ten questions about a Boston Celtic coach.
