  1. 1. The theater production that Popeye boldly auditioned for, proving he was ready to expose absolutely everything for the sake of his artistic craft.
  2. 5. The spiritual denomination Popeye temporarily joined for one day in order to pull off an undercover operation to become Alex's Godfather
  3. 7. A prime numerical value representing the sisterly alliance Popeye married into in 1980, leaving him permanently outnumbered by the Jeffries girls.
  4. 8. A structural piece of staircase anatomy that was completely annihilated when a future son-in-law lost his footing while trying to make a smooth impression.
  5. 9. The ultimate case of "like father, like daughter"—it’s the global logistics giant where an elegant, late-March born ballerina clocks into the exact same purple-and-orange empire her dad retired from.

  2. 3. She famously crashed the ultimate global countdown party on the very last day of 1984
  3. 4. Popeye once stated that this love was the "best thing that ever happened to him." hint - it's not his wife or either of his daughters
  4. 6. It is known for the birth place of hip-hop but the real legend was born here.
  5. 7. An educational institution where two future spouses shared a roof but never a glance - coincidentally named after a structure that crosses the Hudson.
