Hey I'm Robert Vinlo and I'm from New York Times Games and I'm here talking to people about Whirtle and the Whirtle Archive.
Do you all play Whirtle?
I have something exciting to show you.
It's the Whirtle Archive.
Oh!
So if I missed it, I could like go back.
100%.
Now you can play every Whirtle that has ever existed.
There's like a thousand puzzles.
Amazing.
New York Times game subscribers can now access the entire Whirtle Archive.

From the New York Times, this is the interview.
I'm David Marchese.
In Bill Murray's new movie, The Friend, which is based on a great novel by Sigrid Nunez, he plays Walter.
Walter's best friends with Iris, played by Naomi Watts.
Through a surprising course of events, Iris winds up having to take in Walter's great Dane.
And by the way, Iris lives alone in a modest apartment in Manhattan,
so not exactly ideal for a dog the size of a small horse and not exactly nice of Walter.
Like so many of Murray's late career characters, Walter is funny and charismatic, but he's also kind of a jerk.
