Everything Everywhere Daily - Questions and Answers: Volume 25
December is upon us, and we should be cognizant of the fact that December is based on the Latin word Decem, meaning tenth, which is why December is the 10th month of the year……except that it is actually the 12th month.
The reason why the 12th month is named the 10th month is because the original Roman calendar was perhaps the dumbest calendar even used in all of human history, where they had a full two months that were pretty much unaccounted for.
Fast forward over 2000 years and December is just another opportunity for Questions and Answers on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Particular songs we've heard might invoke memories of when we first heard them.
However, there is some music that actually can server as a cultural shorthand. Not even full songs are necessary. Just a few notes can provide a very specific cultural reference.
Learn more about representative riffs, what they are, and how they came to be on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
