Go buy something with less baggage, like Ghislaine.

Oh, wow.

After that, actually, after that this week, that may be the worst Jeffrey, I think.

Yeah.

I'll put a bottom three.

Question for you, Josh.

This week, the New York Times investigated why, try as they might to stop, poets keep doing what?

Then I'm going to have to have a hint.

So much depends upon this hint for you.

They can't stop, like, pausing at weird times?

Yes, they can't stop reciting poetry in the annoying reciting poetry voice.

This week, the New York Times asked a great question.

What's up with the voice people use when they're reciting poetry?

That voice, the tone that poets performing and preaching potential impose on their work.

Kind of an artsy Shatner, if you will.

Exactly, yes.

Turns out a lot of poets just recite that way because they think that's how you're supposed to sound.

I mean, without the voice, people might catch on that your poem is just regular writing with extra pauses.

Coming up, it's lightning fill in the blank, but first it's the game where you have to listen for the rhyme.
