Okay, hello everybody.

We are back with another episode of our sub-podcast here at 372 pages.

We'll never get back.

280 mysteries.

We'll never get back as we explore the crime-solving boy detective of Ida-Bill, Encyclopedia Brown.

The Leroy Encyclopedia Brown.

Yes, as he's referred to in the local press.

He has solved every mystery you've encountered so far.

Mike, you have not been as fortunate.

Your skills, your wit, your razor sharp wit has not been matched up with this 11 year old boy, 12 year old boy here. Yeah, are you smarter than a fourth grader? I am not.

I am not. And I should point out once that I did a speech for Mensa. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

It was like they're a southern convention of Mensa. I was the keynote speaker at their dinner.

And, you know, was hanging around with them for a while and said like, you know, can you

infer intelligence from like my body of work, my books, my writing, and then just kind of let

me in. And they all are just like, no, no, not at all. You have to take the test. You have to prove

that you have a high IQ. I'm like, oh, I'm terrible at puzzles. I cannot do that. So, okay,

I will never be a member of Mensa. Wow. that's, you know, I thought that would have been, you'd have to do it before they'd even let you speak. What if you just showed up and were like, I think, I don't know, I suppose they could also have had Zippy the Chimp, you know, skater. He doesn't need to be a member of it.

He's just skating around smoking cigar.

Yeah.

Solving puzzles with their other hand while they're laughing.

That would have been great if that was your window into there.

Well, that's still an honor.
