Speaker 1: Hello, Puzzlers. Welcome to the Puzzler Podcast, The Green Shoot
Speaker 1: in your Puzzle Pavement. I am your host, Dadie Jacobs,
Speaker 1: and today's guest is the wonderful Faith Saley, Emmy winning
Speaker 1: correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning. We've got a franquin. Wait,
Speaker 1: we don't tell me, panelist and author and everything else. Welcome, Faith,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Aj.
Speaker 2: I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 1: We are delighted to have you now, Faith. Are you
Speaker 1: a fan of charades, the game charades?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, this I can do. Are we going to
Speaker 2: do charades on a podcast?
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly. People have to imagine our hands moving. No,
Speaker 1: we are not, but I imagine you're pretty good because
Speaker 1: you have an acting background, so I want you on
Speaker 1: my team. This one, though, is actually called literary charades,
Speaker 1: which was the original charades. Originally, charades was a written
Speaker 1: type of riddle where the poem or the clue gives
Speaker 1: clues to each syllable. So that's how we got acting charades.
Speaker 1: That's the official name of what we know is charades,
Speaker 1: acted charades, or acting charades. But in seventeen hundreds France,
Speaker 1: it was literary charades that was all the rage and actually,
Speaker 1: Jane Austen wrote literary. So I'm gonna do one and
Speaker 1: you'll you'll catch on as I do it. So I'm
Speaker 1: not going to explain anymore, but the answer could be
Speaker 1: real or fictional people. And are you ready for your
Speaker 1: first charade?
Speaker 2: Japaul's kui? I think so nice.
Speaker 1: It's not going to be in French. Sorry.
Speaker 2: I like how you got French.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know that's how good you were your
Speaker 1: French is. But I will say one thing. You might
Speaker 1: get the answer before the final clue, but I would
Speaker 1: I would beg you to refrain from saying the full
Speaker 1: name until the final clue. We'll give you credit. Okay.
Speaker 1: First charade is something that you cut, moose, gel or feather.
Speaker 2: Okay. So it's so I say this word out loud.
Speaker 1: That's one you're allowed to say out loud.
Speaker 2: Okay. As a child of the seventies and eighties, the
Speaker 2: only answer is hair.
Speaker 1: Hair exactly. Okay. So that's the first syllable, first section. Okay. Next,
Speaker 1: you blank what you sew? You blank what you sew?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: You you reap it, you reap it without the it.
Speaker 1: So we've got hair and reap Okay. Next we have
Speaker 1: a swimming mammal that breaks clams on its belly with rocks.
Speaker 1: Very cute, very cute.
Speaker 2: Oh the sweetest. Yeah, wait, I think are we talking
Speaker 2: about the same cute mammal? Is it a sea?
Speaker 1: It is just the otter. We don't need that. We
Speaker 1: know it's the.
Speaker 2: Right, all right, So say free podder.
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, that's it. Say it again.
Speaker 2: I think I said it. Harry Potter.
Speaker 1: Harry Potter, hair reap Potter, exactly, Harry Potter. That's how
Speaker 1: a charade works. Nicely done. There you go. And by
Speaker 1: the way, important fact that I learned while researching this
Speaker 1: Otter poop has its very own Wikipedia entry. It's called
Speaker 1: sprint s p R A I N T. And it
Speaker 1: has a distinct odor of freshly mown hay. So there
Speaker 1: you go.
Speaker 2: This is the best news I've heard all week. This
Speaker 2: is I'm going to I'm going to bury the word
Speaker 2: sprint in at least one exchange per day.
Speaker 1: I am honored if I can have that. Okay, are
Speaker 1: you ready for yes?
Speaker 2: But I mean I'm just thinking about that phrase. You know,
Speaker 2: here he or she thinks they're you know, their poop
Speaker 2: doesn't stink. We could just change it and say what
Speaker 2: do you what do you think you are in otter?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: What do you think your poop smell? Smells like fresh moan? Hey,
Speaker 2: there should be a candle love sprint.

Speaker 1: get a beer, a place where you might get a beer.
Speaker 2: Uh pub.
Speaker 1: Or get a bar. It is a bar. We were
Speaker 1: in America, so I went with with bar. So that's
Speaker 1: first syllable bar made in form makes this kind of undergarment.
Speaker 3: I believe it's a brasier, but we'll shorten it to.
Speaker 1: Bra exactly because we like the syllable. So bar Bra.
Speaker 1: This is a word that comes after Berlin, great Western
Speaker 1: stone or worth.
Speaker 2: Brilliant wallstone, wall, Western wall, wall wall.
Speaker 1: While you got it, bar bra and then that all right?

Speaker 1: few words breathe, piffy, concise, kurt, the opposite of what
