October 2026…Amy and J.T. are inspired by J.T.'s niece and talk about words. No, really: words. Why they choose them. (Admittedly, in typical Amy and J.T. style, it takes a hot minute to get there, but they get there.) And, as you can see by how long this episode is, they use quite a few of them...and there are more than the usual amount of expletives.

Some show notes...

• a desk is indeed a table
• J.T. was right and Tom Clancy's book that describes a nuclear detonation is The Sum of All Fears, however the chapter (called "Three Shakes") is not 18 seconds in time, it's 4.4 nanoseconds
• Freakonomics: https://freakonomics.com/
• Seven Bridges: https://www.facebook.com/sevenbridgewriters/ (best link we could find)
• Topamax: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2012/020844s041lbl.pdf
• ...and make sure you SHOW, DO NOT TELL!
