After discussing Minnesota quirkisms, the guys answer a listener question from Ireland: "What's the most number of corresponding minutiae that you have seen from two impressions from different sources?". This leads to a deep dive on close non-matches. The guys share their tips, tricks, and red flag warnings for dealing with close non-matches.
