Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword
Thursday, August 21, 2025 - Five out of five doctors agree: Simeon Seigel has delivered an abfab Thursday crossword!
Once again, the NYTimes crossword has delivered the perfect blend of joy and education in one neat bundle. The joy comes from, primarily, the theme -- which we will say no more about here, but we have plenty to say about it in the podcast. The education comes from clues like 69A, Yani ___, youngest pro golfer to win five major championships, TSENG), and our absolute favorite, something that sounds like it came from the pen of Douglas Adams, 57A, Early PC game whose nonsense working title stuck, ZORK. We were also quite partial to 5A, Units equal to nine inches, SPANS.
tldr; a terrific Simeon Seigel crossword, his streak of awesome Thursday crosswords remains unbroken!
