    Yeah! I also came up with Apollo for the final question.

  2. John says:

    I want to see that Beatles clue again. Was it their first gig or first gig specifically at the Cavern Club? Because they had played a number of gigs before they played the CC.

    • VJ says:

      @John, here it is– 1961: WHAT A YEAR! ($800) February: The Beatles are paid 5 pounds (total) for their first show at the Cavern Club in this city

  3. Sam says:

    Wow! That $1600 Notorious clue was poorly phrased. I confess I was thinking of a technique to button jackets – not a psychiatric term. Once again, thanks VJ for the splendid job you do bringing us this terrific site. You keep us on our toes!

    • Howard says:

      Good point. I did get that one (and six other stumpers). The clue could have read, “buttoned and double breasted, using this technique.”

  4. Lou says:

    Maybe Nicole could do what Brian and Zach did and build up a streak. With 22K for Steve. The toc isn’t in the future for him sadly. Apollo was also seen in the Disney series Hercules.

  5. DC says:

    “Nicole didn’t bet a Louis”. Well done VJ!

    • VJ says:

      Thanks, DC 😁 I also took the opportunity to use “penultimate” (from today’s J!6 clues) on the last DD, although I generally avoid it as a snobby sounding word. lol

      • JP says:

        I don’t think ‘penultimate’ is that snobby sounding of a word. If you rolled out ‘antepenultimate’, you could rightly be accused of snobbery, I think.

      • VJ says:

        That’s a good one, JP, and one I never heard from my Mom — she had a huge vocabulary and loved to show off. For example, Mom would not say “Don’t you believe me?” She would say: “Do you doubt my veracity?” 🤣🤣🤣

      • JP says:

        I’d like to sneak in ‘verisimilitude’ and ‘pusillanimous’ into conversation someday.
