I appreciate the definitive judgment on the pronunciation of "pecan" (and that it is the *right* pronunciation!) 😂

In a Mexican hotel lobby, I saw a man sitting with his legs and his fly open. I was waiting for a Lyft by the front door and didn't want to say it out loud. So I used my index finger to motion at his crotch like I was repeatedly flipping up a light switch. He thought I was flirting and flung several unpleasant phrases at me. My limited Spanish did not include the word for zipper, so I just said "estas abierto" [you are open]. This only confirmed to him that I was flirting. Sigh.

I love that they called Josh Gad about earworms, and he gave us some vocal samplings. 🎶
