Where it comes from

Andy plays the NYT Spelling Bee daily and announces on the pod whether he got Queen Bee. Ep. 65 has an earlier riff about a 'bonnet in your B'.

How the hosts use it

Andy announces it near the top of the pod, sometimes in a voice note (Ep. 75). 'Clean' means no hints. Others pick it up too (Ep. 76). Hosts debated a 'righteous skill' reply but kept 'quibi's fine' (Ep. 74).
