Alex and PJ do a Yes Yes No with Alix Spiegel and Lulu Miller of NPR's Invisibilia, and discuss the one message you've sent across the internet you wish you could take back.

The Yes Yes No topic was on the blue a few months back. I've never found this as fascinating as everyone else evidently did, and even though I knew they weren't, I desperately wanted Lulu and Alix's theories to be true.

I love Alix and Lulu! This was one time that I was actually a "yes" before the segment, but it was still entertaining. I for one was totally shocked to find out it was Berenstain not Berenstein.

I liked the stories in the main segment but it didn't feel totally complete. They were both really cringe-worthy but somehow didn't totally move me. It will be interesting to hear the listener call-ins.

My favorite variant on the Berenstain/Berenstein theory is to imagine the other universe: the one where everyone grew up saying "Berenstain" and just now are realizing "Wait, it was BerenstEIN this whole time???"

This would have been the perfect opportunity to mention the paint roller!

But, seriously. I love the "Guest Y/Y/N" format. Do this again!

I loved this Y/Y/N, I think this should be a recurring thing as well (bring on the guests!). I mean it's always fun to plumb the depths of Alex's ignorance of the internet, but how deep can that hole really be?
