Episode 007: Kirsten Vangsness & Jason Kravits

== Description ==
In this episode, J. Keith and Helen play host to Kirsten Vangsness (Penelope Garcia on Criminal Minds) and Jason Kravits, who is very recognizable from his many, many appearances on the big and small screens, as well as Broadway. We learn that Kirsten considers herself an expert on Duran Duran, female sexual anatomy, and vegetarian food. Jason fancies himself an expert on intercontinental geography, crossword puzzles and Young Frankenstein. Will Kirsten be able to name the differences between apes and monkeys? Will Jason know the difference between "imply" and "infer?"

=== What's The Difference? ===
==== Kirsten Vangsness ====
Subject: Primates
Question: There are many similarities between simians, but your question to ponder is what is the difference between apes and monkeys? We are looking for two of the major differences between apes and monkeys.
Kirsten's Response: Apes are considerably larger than monkeys, and monkeys don't know sign language.
Jason's Response: Monkeys tend to have prehensile tails (apes do not have tails), while apes have opposable thumbs (monkeys do not).
Answer: Apes are larger than monkeys, and apes have larger brain capacities and so are able to do sign language.

==== Jason Kravits ====
Subject: Insinuates
Question: What is the difference between "imply" and "infer?"
Jason's Response: When you infer something, you are not saying it (the actual words); when you imply something, you are actually saying it (or spoken). One is more hidden than the other.
Kirsten's Response: To imply means you're not saying it; to infer means "I'm saying it - it's right there."
Answer: To imply is to hint at something without directly saying it; you're providing the information. To infer is to make a guess without direct evidence; you're interpreting the information.
