Alex was keen to get back to his workout, so I moved on. What's your name? Tyre. And what do you do at Dave & Buster's? I'm a janitor. Here we go. An actual employee. Do you have an iPhone or Android? I have an iPhone. Do you ever send voice notes, like, to message people? Yes, I do. All the time. Have you ever mentioned Dave & Buster's when you send a voice note?

Like, if you're like, I'm at Dave & Buster's right now. Well, I just say I'm at work. Ah. And it wasn't just Tyre. Another employee I spoke to said pretty much the same thing. It was work. It was D&Bs. Of course, I do not tell people on my way out in the morning, I'm on my way to search engine. The anomaly then had gone unnoticed by the folks at this Brooklyn branch of Dave & Buster's.

I, however, was noticed. I was soon asked with polite directness by the manager to hit the road. So we hit the road. I first talked to our listener Eric in February, and now a few months passed. In that time, the American economy shuttered. The president picked a fight with Nauru, a country of 12,000 people. Citizens everywhere planned for their uncertain futures.

And meanwhile, I kept showing people the Dave & Buster's anomaly, and despite everything, they kept being arrested in wonder by it. And then finally, we showed it to the right person. Two of them, actually. Two people who would help us solve this riddle. Our big break after this short break. Welcome back to the show. Our big break came from someone at the office.

Shruthi had mentioned the anomaly to a film editor here, Andy Grieve. And like everybody, Andy found himself repeating Dave & Buster's into his phone, trying to find out if there was some trick that would force Apple to transmit a Dave & Buster's voice note. But unlike everybody else, Andy was successful. Late that night, Andy wrote to Shruthi that he'd made a discovery.

If you said Dave and Buster's into a voice note very slowly, like spreading out the words, Dave and Buster's, the voice note would sail through. Andy wrote, quote, I've been doing some tests over here, and my theory is that it's not Dave and Buster's, it's Dave and Buster's. I know that sounds the same to you as a listener because you're not reading my script right now.

But the first time Andy wrote Dave & Buster's, he wrote it A-N-D. The second time he wrote it with an ampersand. And he's right. The official way to spell Dave & Buster's is with an ampersand. All those years ago, when Dave and his business partner Buster had conjoined their restaurants into one concept, they'd put an ampersand in between their names.

Not knowing that this one fancy flourish, made years before the invention of the iPhone, would cause an anomaly in space and time decades later. Stunning. Andy continued, quote, I tried saying and, and, and, and ampersand, and the message didn't send. So Andy had deduced that ampersand was the likely culprit. Maybe Andy should be hosting a podcast.
