"After the break, how immigration policy dictates our relationship with Haiti. And stay with me to the very end of this episode for a big announcement. I'm Robin and I am excited to open my cross-play app. I'm challenging John, my colleague at the New York Times. Robin played the word grunge, which has a G, which is four points. She got that triple word multiplier. I'm going to take facts and make it faxes for 30 points. I might just take another two letter word here with low, gets me at 23. I think this will put me back in the lead if my maths are mapping. I like to play it more from a strategic point of view and see where I can block the other player from scoring high. I'm pretty competitive. It's fun to beat friends and co-workers and also get to learn new words. Cross-play, the first two-player word game from New York Times Games. Download it for free today."

"And now, for those of you who have made it this far, I have some news. The argument is ending, and this is the second to last episode. I've been hosting the show for nearly two years. In that time, we've debated so many of the biggest issues on your minds from abortion to the death penalty to should we talk to aliens? I've loved reading your emails and listening to your voice mails every week. And I've loved sitting in this chair and talking with guests who vehemently disagree with me and with each other and getting to watch them actually listen to each other. It's been a pleasure, but it's been a real honor. I'll have more to say next week in our final episode. But if you're wondering where I'm going, don't worry, I'm staying at the times. And I'm excited about what's next."
