Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello puzzlers. Let's start with a quick puzzle. What is
a word that could describe the following sentence? Are you ready?
Bader Ginsburg and Yankees legend Babe went out to dinner
at Chris Steakhouse. So what is a word that might
describe that sentence? Hint, It's a word that it also
(00:24):
means someone who shows no pity, and it is related
to our guests. The answer and more puzzling goodness after
the break, Hello puzzlers, Welcome back to the Puzzler Podcast,
(00:45):
the Velvet Curtains in your Puzzle Opera Box. I am
your host, AJ Jacobs. I'm here, of course, the chief
puzzle Officer, Greg Kliska and Greg. Before the break, we asked,
what is a word that might describe the following sentence,
Bader Ginsburg and Yankees legend Babe went out to dinner
at Chris Steakhouse. It's a word for someone who shows
(01:09):
no pity.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That is a scene from this day in political in
political sports history. It's an actual moment when Ruth Bader
Ginsburg and Babe Ruth went out to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
It is a ruthless sentence that way you did it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
That's it, ruthless, got it, ruthless and nice work on
the Ruth's Chris. That's not an easy one to say.
I bring this up because our guests today do a
wonderful monthly live show in New York City called The
Ruthless Comedy Hour, So it all ties together and they
are my friends, the brilliant writers and comedians Cynthia Kaplan
(01:55):
and Karen Bergering. Welcome Cynthia and Karen.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
But by the way, there is a new room, not
Ruth's Chris, new Ruthless Comedy Hour coming up on April
twenty ninth to New York City, and we're going to
give details to that and a lot of other of
their great work at the end. So wait for the
apostrophe and wait for that info. And in the meantime,
(02:22):
I'm going to turn it over to a chief puzzle Officer,
Greg Pliska, who has a puzzle for Cindy and Karen.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Amazing. Thank you aj All right, so here's the way
this works. Every answer in this puzzle is a phrase
with the initials KB or the initials c K, So
it's going to be either of your initials. I'll give
you a clue and you tell me the phrase, and
that's it. If it's your If you guess the one
(02:50):
that is your own initials, you get an extra point
or something.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I want to get certificate to Ruth's Chris.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yeah, exactly, Okay, you got it. Actually's going to be
a mashup. You guys are going to appear and it's
going to be Ruth's Chris Comedy Hour.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh well, if you make it ruthless, it's just going
to be Chris's Comedy Hour.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Exactly right, that's where we started, all right. So you're
looking for a phrase that either is a two words
c K or kb uh, and I'll give you the
first one. It's a bite sized treat made by Hershey's.
Oh yep, Cindy's raised her hand.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Karen, do you know what it is? No? Oh, it's
a chocolate kiss.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Chocolate kiss.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's a well I love chocolate. Well, it was tricky, Karen,
because the crackle.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Crackle would have been good like crackle bar.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
But I but it didn't. It didn't have the same
I didn't think it was a real phraeze.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But well, actually right because crackle bar starts with K
and those would have been your initials.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Right, but it could have been my initials.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's amazing. I wish i'd thought of that. Look at
that two possible answers. Wow, bar, chocolate kiss a.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Double points, everyone gets double points, double point.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Cindy gotter like, I think crackle is not the red answer.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
I'll take Karen's points.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I like Karen's answer though. Okay, here's another one. A legume, legume,
legume legume shaped like a body part.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Oh I got it?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oh yeah Karen, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah, Kidney bean.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Bingo, yes, with your initials. This is very good.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And by the way, I think you are the two
politest contestants we've had with raising the hand. No you go,
no you go. It's very very nice.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
We're in love. She's my comedy wife. I say it
a lot. I want people to know I'm proud.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, here's your next one. This is a very
cute Australian marsupial.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I feel that's editorializing, but I'll let it go.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Yeah, you know what it is.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Well, I think I might have the first word, but.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Should it go?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Koala bear.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Say kangaroo baby, But I didn't think I got baby.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Was cheating like.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
The bar was cheating.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
It could have been cute kangaroo. Then it would have
been Cindia's initials. Wow, this is discovering new levels of
puzzling right here. Now it's just a koala bear.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
What the farmer's wife wields against the three blind mice?
This it will pause while you sing through the whole song.
Three blind Yes, I.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Didn't sing the song, so it might be wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
No, three blind mice, three blind mice.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh, okay, I got it.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
You got it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Carving knife.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Carving knife, Yes, very good.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Because I like that because the k is silent, so
it's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
But it could have been killer blade if you're.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, these guys are always finding the other.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Cindy would get that because she's musical.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That, by the way, quite a disturbing image for for
a little children's song, as many children's songs are.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No question, no question, whether it's a killer blade or
a carving knife. It's not pleasant knife. Yeah, all right,
here's your next one. First, nothing comes out of it.
Then you hit the bottom repeatedly and a whole bunch
comes out of it. It's a condiment container.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Oh oh, oh, oh, I know what it is.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Okay, go ahead, Yes, Karen, ketchup.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Bottle, Yeah, very good, catchup bottle.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
Territory before you you gave us the clue.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
How about cats up container? But container with a K? Oh,
very good, that's a comer with a k.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
You know what I have to say, though, I think
cats up is an embarrassing spelling.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's a drum offending a group.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But it's like, it's the worst.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
What does it mean? It's like, hey, the cat's upright?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Right?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Is that the original spelling? I think that's another mystery
Andrea needs to get working on.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It's an alternative, less common spell.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So was it before ketchup? Was cats up? Perhaps? I
do know that I think I used the mushroom ketchup
for my eighteenth century project?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Is that like mushrooms coffee?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's mushroom? It's ketchup with mushrooms. I didn't love it,
but I just want to loan that it is out there.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
All right, here's your next one. Nothing comes between me
and this underwear brand. Oh, Calvin Klein, Yeah, I look
at that, Calvin.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I didn't ask you, Karen, because I could tell you
knew I did, and all we're sharing.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
That I also think you must always like sinfor your initials.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
It would come up before never okay, really the first time,
I will say, since you guys are Upper West Side columnists,
I saw brook Shields at an Upper West Side coffee
shop like three days ago.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Are you going to get her on the puzzler?
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You know, I should have asked? That was a big
all right, get her on.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
She's supposed to be really nice.
Speaker 5 (08:40):
My friend, I have a legitimate friend who was in
that documentary about her, which, by the way, I can
tell you was terrific, pretty baby about and my friend,
Oh yeah, my friend was one of the.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
People who's known her her whole life kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
By the way, the reason for those who are too
young to know that we were talking about brook Shields
is she starred in one of those commercials Calvin Klient underwear. Yes,
had the phrase nothing comes from between me and my.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
And it was controversial because she was like twelve.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Well, that's right, we shouldn't even be.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
Talking about I feel watch the documentary.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
It's so good. Yeah, it's so good.

behind your opponent's end line and your opponents if you
kick the with your opponent's ball, if it goes out
on that end, you get a what.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, cornerkick?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Corner kick exactly.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
I wouldn't have known that if there had been a
gun at my head. I kept picking ted lasts.

Carving knife.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Carving knife, Yes, very good.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Because I like that because the k is silent, so
it's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
But it could have been killer blade if you're.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, these guys are always finding the other.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Cindy would get that because she's musical.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That, by the way, quite a disturbing image for for
a little children's song, as many children's songs are.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No question, no question, whether it's a killer blade or
a carving knife. It's not pleasant knife. Yeah, all right,
here's your next one. First, nothing comes out of it.
Then you hit the bottom repeatedly and a whole bunch
comes out of it. It's a condiment container.
Speaker 4 (06:41):

Speaker 3 (06:44):

How about cats up container? But container with a K? Oh,
very good, that's a comer with a k.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
You know what I have to say, though, I think
cats up is an embarrassing spelling.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It's a drum offending a group.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But it's like, it's the worst.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
What does it mean? It's like, hey, the cat's upright?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Well?
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Right?
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Is that the original spelling? I think that's another mystery
Andrea needs to get working on.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
It's an alternative, less common spell.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
So was it before ketchup? Was cats up? Perhaps? I
do know that I think I used the mushroom ketchup
for my eighteenth century project?
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Is that like mushrooms coffee?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
It's mushroom? It's ketchup with mushrooms. I didn't love it,
but I just want to loan that it is out there.
