• 17:51
  Speaker 2: David and I have started playing the New York Times Connections.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: If you've never played, you get sixteen words and you
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: need to clump them groups of four. And they're very
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: sneaky about how they want you to group your words.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Sometimes they aren't. Sometimes they're very obvious, but then sometimes
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: they're like, ooh, each word had the letter in in it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know, not the letter in but you know
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: what I mean.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it could be part of the word that you're
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: looking for instead of the whole word and its meaning.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And one of the clumping of words was different
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: ways to describe prose, and they had the word purple
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: in there. And neither of us or my mom, who
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: is a writer, and you know, I think my sister
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: didn't know of it either, and she wrote, you know
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: has an MFA in English. None of us have ever
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: heard of purple prose before, so we thought we would
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: share it with you, so hopefully you learn something new,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: or you can be like purple prose.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Only peasants don't know what purple prose.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Doesn't sound like it's good. No, it sounds like somebody
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: trying too hard.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: It's like yellow journalism, not in definition, but just in thought.
• 19:13
