| 0:00.0 | Why did Amberley give her niece some banknotes in a block of ice to fulfil a Christmas wish? |
| 0:07.1 | The answer to that, at the end of the show. My name's Tom Scott, and this is Latry. |
| 0:17.6 | Welcome to the podcast. That is full of weird questions and wonderful answers. Many of the puzzles on our show make use of unusual words such as Terradittle, lollygag, and, um, um, um, campanologist. That's it. That one rings a bell. |
| 0:35.3 | Uh, hoping to be the bell of the ball today. |
| 0:39.4 | First of all, we start off with Dress Historian from her own YouTube channel. |
| 0:43.1 | Benedet Banner, how are you doing? |
| 0:44.4 | I'm tired. |
| 0:45.6 | Okay. |
| 0:46.8 | Is this where we admit that we were both out at the same dinner last night, and it ended at about 11? |
| 0:52.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:53.1 | How are you awake right now? Mostly just adrenaline from running this show. You know one of those things where you wake up in the morning and then you remember a thing you've got to do and you get an adrenaline spike, you're like, well, I'm not doing anything else today.

| 1:15.5 | although we'll see if that's a benefit or a disadvantage to thinking laterally. |
| 1:23.5 | I have to ask about the paintings behind you. I know we're an audio first show, but what |
| 1:29.3 | is going on on that beautiful green wall behind you? This is my beloved wall of guinea pig |
| 1:35.8 | historical portraiture. It's my national gallery, if you will. My brother, it started off as a joke |
| 1:42.1 | to start painting these portraits of my guinea pigs in historical dress every year for my birthday. |
| 1:47.9 | It's been about seven years now and he just keeps doing them and I don't think it's a joke anymore. |
| 1:52.0 | So I put them all up in a gallery and I'm going to get name plates for them with accreditation numbers, like fully gallery style. |
| 1:59.6 | So I hope he knows what he's doing. |
| 2:01.5 | Well, very best of luck on the show today. You are joined next from the depths of Wikipedia, |
