[00:20] From NPR in WBEZ, Chicago, this is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me!, the NPR News Quiz. I'm the man they bring in when Bill Curtis gets busted for claiming Peter as a dependent. I'm Alzo Slade, and here's your host at the Studer Baker Theater at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.
Speaker 3:
[00:41] Thank you, Alzo.
Speaker 4:
[00:43] Thanks, everyone. Thanks to all of you.
Speaker 3:
[00:45] Great to see you.
Speaker 4:
[00:46] We do have a fine show for you today. Later on, we're going to be talking for the first time ever on our show to a professional escort. That's right, the man who was paid to escort the Stanley Cup. What did you think I meant? But first, it's your turn to come on and try to check me into the boards. Give us a call. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-9248-924. Let's welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on Wait Wait Dont Tell Me.
Speaker 5:
[01:12] Hi.
Speaker 4:
[01:13] Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3:
[01:14] This is Jennifer.
Speaker 5:
[01:15] I live in Tampa, Florida.
Speaker 6:
[01:17] I am an ELCA Lutheran pastor.
Speaker 4:
[01:22] I think, and I'm not sure about this, but the 1 person who was excited about Tampa was also the same person excited about you being a Lutheran. So, maybe it's a coincidence, maybe they're just really happy today. We don't know. Well, Jennifer, welcome to the show. Let me introduce you to our panel this week. First, a comedian who will be appearing at the White Rabbit Cabaret in Indianapolis, Indiana on Thursday, April 23rd. It's Adam Burke.
Speaker 7:
[01:48] Hi, nice to meet you, Jennifer. Hi.
Speaker 5:
[01:49] Hi.
Speaker 4:
[01:52] Next up, you can see here April 23rd through the 26th, that Rooster Tea Feathers in San Jose, California, and May 8th at the Hollywood Improv. With the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, it's Dulcé Sloan.
Speaker 5:
[02:03] Hello. Hello. It's me. Amen.
Speaker 4:
[02:09] And a comedian you can see at Ceboba Casino in San Jacinto, California, April 24th, and the Comedy Cellar in Las Vegas, April 27th through May 3rd. Alonzo Bodden. Hello.
Speaker 5:
[02:22] Hello.
Speaker 4:
[02:25] So, Jennifer, Reverend Jennifer, welcome to the show. You're going to play Who's Alzo? This time, Alzo Slade filling in for Bill Curtis is going to read you three quotations from this week's news. If you can correctly identify or explain just two of them, you will win our prize. Any voice from our show, you might choose for your voicemail. Are you ready to go?
Speaker 8:
[02:41] Okay.
Speaker 4:
[02:42] Here is your first quote, Jennifer. It's from the president attacking a new rival this week.
Speaker 2:
[02:49] He's very weak on crime.
Speaker 4:
[02:51] Apparently, President Trump was upset about the high crime rate in Vatican City as he took on who this week?
Speaker 8:
[03:00] Pope Leo.
Speaker 4:
[03:01] Yes, the Pope. Or to use his technical title, the Pope. Yes, the president got into a beef with the Pope about the war in Iran, but who knew that the Pope was weak on crime? That was surprising. It also raises the question, do we want a tough on-crime Pope? Like he takes your confession, and instead of seven Hail Marys, he gives you the death penalty? And I got to say, if President Trump thinks the Pope is weak on crime, wait till he finds out about the Buddha.
Speaker 9:
[03:40] If you wanted any proof that Donald Trump knows nothing about history, he's starting to beef with an Italian guy from Chicago.
Speaker 4:
[03:48] Exactly.
Speaker 9:
[03:49] That never ends well.
Speaker 4:
[03:51] It doesn't.
Speaker 5:
[03:52] An Italian guy from Chicago love beef.
Speaker 4:
[03:55] That's true. And thinking about it though, we thought it would be cool if the Pope did fight crime, right? It would be exciting. Like coming to Netflix this summer, only murders in the conclave.
Speaker 5:
[04:08] Well, they've already had murders in the conclave.
Speaker 4:
[04:10] That's true, yeah.
Speaker 5:
[04:11] That's how we kept getting new popes.
Speaker 7:
[04:13] Does Trump think he's weak on crime? Because the last time he was in the Vatican, there was a bunch of guys nailed to wood and running everywhere. The Pope didn't know anything about it.
Speaker 4:
[04:23] So he starts this beef with the Pope, and then he decides to like, just, you know, throw some fuel in the fire. He posts a picture of himself as Jesus healing the sick. And when he was criticized for this, he insisted, and this is true, oh, he's not supposed to be Jesus in the picture, don't you see? He's a doctor. That's what he said, because whose doctor doesn't wear flowing white robes and treat you with glowing beams of light emanating from his hand?
Speaker 9:
[04:50] Well, that's the Republican health plan they've been working on.
Speaker 3:
[04:52] Right there, yeah. That's all you're gonna get.
Speaker 4:
[04:57] Jennifer, here, Jennifer, here is your next quote.
Speaker 8:
[05:01] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[05:02] Just take two aspirin, you'll be fine.
Speaker 4:
[05:04] That advice was given to a patient who was in fact suffering a serious medical condition. It was part of a study showing you should not ask what for medical advice.
Speaker 8:
[05:18] I'm gonna say AI, but perhaps I need a hint.
Speaker 4:
[05:21] No, you were right. AI, Chatbox, StatGPT. Everybody's doing it, but they shouldn't. New research says if you give AI a chatbox, just one or two symptoms of something bothering you, they will fail to give you the right diagnosis 80 percent of the time. Either they will, as that one did, dismiss a serious disease as nothing, or say a minor complaint means you just have days to live. Robots are stealing other robots' jobs. Telling me I'm gonna die is WebMD's thing.
Speaker 5:
[05:53] Yes!
Speaker 9:
[05:55] The head of Health and Human Services is wrong 90 percent of the time.
Speaker 5:
[05:58] That's true.
Speaker 4:
[05:59] So it's an improvement.
Speaker 9:
[06:00] And he's certainly not a doctor.
Speaker 4:
[06:02] That's right.
Speaker 7:
[06:03] I mean, they're clearly trying to destroy us.
Speaker 4:
[06:05] They're trying. Yes, I know.
Speaker 7:
[06:06] They're just like, it'll be fine.
Speaker 4:
[06:09] Have you guys ever done this? I know a lot of people actually use ChatGPT and are very happy with it. Have you ever tried it?
Speaker 2:
[06:15] I used it.
Speaker 4:
[06:16] What did you do?
Speaker 2:
[06:16] Yeah. I asked for health advice.
Speaker 4:
[06:19] And what did you get?
Speaker 2:
[06:19] Yeah. It told me that I was going through para-menopause.
Speaker 4:
[06:25] That's explain the moon swings. Now, of course, the way the chatbots do is they just suck up all the information in the internet and they use predictive technology to figure out what to say. So this is true. A researcher in Sweden uploaded a fake paper, she wrote, describing a completely made-up illness called Bixonomania, including, thanks to, and I quote, researchers at Starfleet Academy and funding from the sideshow Bob Foundation in the paper. And sure enough, within a year, chatbots were telling people all over the world that they had Bixonomania. The amazing part? Bixonomania is what the Trump Jesus doctor was curing in that picture.
Speaker 5:
[07:10] So ChatGPT is just a telephone psychic?
Speaker 10:
[07:15] Kind of, sort of?
Speaker 5:
[07:17] They have no information. They have absolutely nothing, so it's just Ms. Cleo?
Speaker 4:
[07:21] Well, sort of, kind of.
Speaker 9:
[07:22] No, because ChatGPT does not cost 99 cents a minute.
Speaker 6:
[07:25] It's true.
Speaker 4:
[07:27] All right. Here Jennifer is your last quote.
Speaker 6:
[07:29] Okay.
Speaker 2:
[07:30] Stuff always gets left behind. I didn't have to pay for eggs for a hot minute.
Speaker 4:
[07:34] That was someone quoted in the Washington Post about why they like to eat the food people leave behind. Where?
Speaker 3:
[07:41] At a restaurant?
Speaker 4:
[07:43] Not at a restaurant. That would be creepy walking around, waiting for people to leave a table, diving in before the bus boy can get there. Yeah, I've done it, but I'm not recommending it.
Speaker 8:
[07:54] Can you give me a hint?
Speaker 4:
[07:55] Yeah, well apparently they are supposed to clean between guests, but sometimes they don't check the fridge.
Speaker 8:
[07:59] Oh, in a hotel.
Speaker 4:
[08:01] Well, close, in an Airbnb, right? More and more people are booking private vacation rentals, right? There's a growing debate as that happens about whether or not you should eat the leftovers you find in the fridge. Some people think that's gross. Other people are like, oh great, free baba ganoush. I think.
Speaker 5:
[08:22] Wouldn't it depend on, like if it's just like, oh, there's a bag of oranges.
Speaker 4:
[08:26] Right.
Speaker 5:
[08:27] I could see somebody doing that as opposed to, oh, there's chicken wings and four of them got a bite out of it.
Speaker 4:
[08:34] Yeah. Actually, you know who apparently eats a lot of it are the owners of the Airbnb. That's part of a, I guess, a perk of being a landlord. One guy complained to the post that his family wouldn't eat the leftovers he brought home from his rental, which he said recently included lobster, mac, and cheese. Come on, kids. It's just old cheese and shellfish. Other people has breathed on. It's great. Now, there's certain food items you know you're always going to find in a vacation rental, like your old vegetable oil, an unusually small amount of pancake mix. It's all useless. On the other hand, if you are going to make a recipe that calls for nothing but bay leaves, you are in business.
Speaker 5:
[09:14] Yes, odd spices that don't connect. It's like cinnamon and majoram. I don't know what I'm supposed to make. Yeah. I can't put this on a chicken. Kind of weird cinnamon chicken.
Speaker 9:
[09:27] I'm not that lady. No cinnamon chicken.
Speaker 7:
[09:28] You can and then leave it for the Airbnb owner. That will teach him and ruin his night.
Speaker 4:
[09:35] Alzo, how did Jennifer do in our quiz?
Speaker 2:
[09:37] She got a perfect score, three out of three.
Speaker 4:
[09:39] Congratulations, Reverend. Hallelujah! Thanks. Thank you so much for playing.
Speaker 6:
[09:47] It was very fun. Thank you very much. Take care.
Speaker 4:
[10:04] Right now, panel, it is time for you to answer some questions about this week's news. Alonzo, big news in cheese making. Thanks... I know it's exciting. Thanks to a change in the law in Switzerland, the makers of traditional Swiss cheese will now be able to add artificial what to their cheeses? Holes? Yes, Holes. In recent years, holes have started disappearing from traditional Swiss cheese, something I learned from my holes Google alert. It turns out...
Speaker 7:
[10:36] I'm so mad. A hole can't disappear. A hole is the disappearance of the thing that the hole is replacing. I'm about to lose my mind.
Speaker 4:
[10:48] Let me attempt to explain. It turns out, in traditional Swiss cheese making, the holes in the cheese are caused by tiny particles of hay from the milk barn that gets into the milk. And with modern automatic milking technology, those little particles don't occur, right? So Swiss cheese makers want the holes back, but not from the guy who keeps showing up at the factory saying, I'll do it, no question. So they went to court in Switzerland and won the right to create their own holes artificially in its still Swiss cheese. I love that at some point in this saga, somebody pounded his fist in the table and said, get me the best damn cheese lawyer money can buy.
Speaker 7:
[11:37] I love that Switzerland basically sat out World War I and II, but this they finally take a stance on.
Speaker 11:
[11:42] Yeah, we gotta get the holes back.

[13:16] From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me!, the NPR News Quiz. I'm Alzo Slade. We're playing this week with Alonzo Bodden, Adam Burke, and Dulcé Sloan. Here again is your host at the Studer-Baker Theater in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.
Speaker 5:
[13:33] Thank you, Alzo.

Speaker 8:
[13:47] Hello!
Speaker 4:
[13:48] Hello!
Speaker 8:
[13:48] This is Hannah in Austin.
Speaker 4:
[13:50] Hello, Hannah, in Austin, Texas. What do you do there?
Speaker 8:
[13:53] I am a registered nurse, a turned private practicing licensed massage therapist, and end of life school.

Speaker 2:
[14:19] You blew it.

Our panelists are going to tell you about it. Pick the one who's telling the truth and you'll win the Wait Waiter of your choice in your voicemail. Ready to play? I am. You are? Okay, well then let's play. Let's start then with Alonzo Bodden.
Speaker 9:
[14:43] wannabe influencer Alan Lane bought a computer from Brandon Terrell on Facebook. He deleted the computer's memory, a bunch of math and maps to edit videos of him smoking a cigar for his brand. He figured he'd get rich on millions of views. Now he has videos of him crying at the idea of losing millions of dollars. The former owner of the computer, Brandon Terrell Senior, spent a lifetime researching the Bermuda Triangle and had it figured out. He had researched wind and water currents, the times and temperatures of when things disappeared. Terrell believes that his research could have led to a fortune and sunken treasure. So Terrell Jr. sold the computer thinking all the data was backed up to iCloud, but he forgot to pay Apple the $3 monthly fee for extra storage. So it all vanished the day the new owner erased it. Once he realized what had happened, he joined forces with the new owner. Lane smokes his cigars for views while Terrell tries to rebuild his computers from memory so he can make them both rich.
Speaker 4:
[15:47] A man almost acquired the secret to untold riches at the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle but erased it all. Your next story of a big chance comes from Dulcé Sloan.
Speaker 5:
[15:59] We've all met up with friends after a work event and still had our work stuff with us, like a laptop, a suitcase full of comedy merch, or a Fabergé egg. That's what happened to Rosie Dawson, who was entrusted to show the Fabergé egg and matching watch to potential buyers by her employer, the Craft Whiskey Company. When she was unable to sell the pieces, she did what anyone would do after a hard day at work. She put the egg in her bag and went to the pub. Enter Enzo Conticello, a run-of-the-mill pickpocket, who noticed Dawson's $2,000 Givenchy handbag on the floor, so he stole it like he was supposed to. Because who puts a $2,000 bag with a Fabergé egg in it on the floor of a bar? Now, what does a petty thief do with a Fabergé egg? Well, he's a regular person who doesn't know what it is. So he traded the bag and everything in it for cocaine. He didn't find out the value of his thievery was about $2.7 million until he was in court. Do you know how much cocaine you can buy with $2.7 million? Now, I have no idea. I'm a good Christian woman, but I'm sure it's a lot.
Speaker 4:
[17:19] A thief steals a purse, takes out the money and cards, and throws away the Fabergé egg inside. Your last story of somebody coming up short comes from Adam Burke.
Speaker 7:
[17:33] It's considered one of the greatest missed opportunities in sports history. Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazzi sells Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1920 for $100,000, ushered in an 84-year World Series drought for the Sox, propelling the Yankees to huge success and making Ruth a baseball legend. It's also a pivotal moment in a new musical about the Bambino, entitled simply Babe! which began production earlier this year in Boston. That was until Walt Gassman, the play's chief financial backer, dropped into rehearsals and witnessed some of the show's so-called hit numbers, such as I'm Not Throwing Away My Shot, But I Am Calling It, A Whole New World Series, and Ho Ho Ho! Were the Murderers Row, and decided he had a stinker on his hands. Enter Janice Keller, an aspiring impresario from the Bronx, who upon hearing Gassman complain about the show at a function, offered to buy it from him. All the things he hated, I adored, says Keller, like when the sick kid flies in on his hospital bed, magic. And in a case of life imitating art imitating life, Boston's loss has been New York's gain with The Plague becoming an instant camp classic off Broadway and quickly making its money back. I guess Boston won't win a Tony anytime soon, groused Gassman.
Speaker 4:
[18:56] All right. These are three stories of a lost opportunity. Was it from Alonzo Bodden, a guy who bought a computer and erased it before he realized on it was the secret untold sunken treasure? From Dulcé Sloan, a thief who grabbed a purse and threw it away, not realizing he had just thrown away a $2.5 million Fabergé egg inside? Or from Adam Burke, the story of Babe Ruth being sold from Boston to New York is recapitulated again in a musical about Babe Ruth being sold by Boston to New York. Which of these is the real story of a lost opportunity?
Speaker 8:
[19:35] Wow, the option. I have to pick Dulcé. This seems like the human thing to do.
Speaker 4:
[19:47] The human thing to do. Because who would think of banging up a purse that there's a Fabergé egg inside? All right, you chose Dulcé's story. Well, we spoke to a reporter who covered the real story.
Speaker 12:
[19:57] He takes her to watch the handbag and she realizes, Oh my gosh, my Fabergé egg has been stolen.
Speaker 4:
[20:03] That was The Telegraph's Lauren Sherriff talking about the stolen, not stolen Fabergé egg in London. Congratulations, Henna, you got it right. You're in to point for Dulcé. You've won our prize. The voice of anyone you might choose for your voicemail. Thank you so much for playing with us today. Take care. And now the game we call Not My Job. The National Hockey League Playoffs begin next week and the winning team won't get their own version of the Stanley Cup, the championship trophy because there is only one. Each member of the winning team though will get to have that one trophy for one day before it goes back on display. And that means somebody has to escort it safely from place to place. And that somebody is Phil Pritchard, a long time employee of the Hockey Hall of Fame and the official guardian of the one and only Stanley Cup. And he joins us now. Phil Pritchard, welcome to Wait Wait Dont Tell Me. So, first a fact check. Is that correct that hockey is the only major sport that does not give the trophy to the team to keep? They get to hold it up in the air and have it for a while, but then they have to give it back.
Speaker 11:
[21:24] Yeah, it's actually a pretty amazing tradition, Peter. The team wins it, obviously, in late June, and they get it for 100 days, which means everybody on the team gets an opportunity to take it home.
Speaker 4:
[21:35] Right.
Speaker 11:
[21:35] Not only the players, the coaches, the trainers, the equipment managers, the staff, everyone gets time with it because it's a team event.
Speaker 4:
[21:43] Right. And so why, do you know how that tradition began? Was it like they didn't have the money to make a new trophy every year?
Speaker 11:
[21:52] Well, you know what? You look at that trophy, it's three feet high, it's 38 pounds, it's pure silver. I think it's beautiful enough, you only want one of them. Nothing against the other Swords traditions, they do a great job of it, but none of it is like the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 5:
[22:07] Right.
Speaker 2:
[22:08] Yeah, they didn't have the money.
Speaker 5:
[22:09] They didn't have the money, yeah.
Speaker 2:
[22:11] Thanks, Aldo.
Speaker 4:
[22:16] And this has been your job for a long time. You were the guy who brings the cup to the game, who gives it to the winning team, then takes it and brings it to each member of that team. That's your job.
Speaker 11:
[22:29] Yeah. And it's pretty amazing summer, because I only hang out with winners. So it's pretty good.
Speaker 7:
[22:39] Please tell me you have that on a t-shirt.
Speaker 4:
[22:42] How did you get that job, Phil? What skills did you bring to it?
Speaker 2:
[22:47] When he was little, he said, that's what I want to be when I grow up.
Speaker 11:
[22:51] Also, I don't think anyone ever says that. They want to win it. They want to bring it home to mom and dad. I didn't plan on bringing it to someone else's mom and dad. That didn't really work out that way. You know what's amazing though? I took a sports administration course in college, and one thing led to another. Working at the Hockey Hall of Fame, the game was evolving and it became more and more an international sport more than just North Americans, players from all around the world. So it began the effect of trying to, how do we get this trophy out there to everybody? And yours truly put up his hand and said, why don't we take it round and let everyone celebrate it with it for a day? So I think we've been to 31 countries with it around the world now.
Speaker 4:
[23:41] Wait a minute, you just told me something I hadn't heard, which is that you came up with the idea of every member of the winning team getting it for one day?
Speaker 11:
[23:50] Well, Alonzo and I did, actually.
Speaker 2:
[23:53] We know what it was, it was like we've got to figure out a way to get our sky miles up.
Speaker 4:
[23:59] So you said, I have an idea, let's get it out in the world, let's let every player and other associate of the winning team have it for a day. And then somebody said, well, that's ridiculous, some idiot would have to pick up the damn thing and fly around the world with it for 100 days. Where are we going to find that fool?
Speaker 11:
[24:14] Here's the idiot right here.
Speaker 4:
[24:16] All right.
Speaker 3:
[24:17] Over the year.
Speaker 11:
[24:18] I was part of a whole team that came up with that idea. And I'm a little biased here, but I think it's one of the greatest traditions there is in sport because they get the chance to take it home to their hometown and celebrate with their family and friends.
Speaker 4:
[24:33] Okay. We on this show over the years have occasionally mentioned when it's made the news, some of the weirder things that the players, especially, have done with the Cup during that precious day when it's in their possession. What is some of the weirdest things you've seen?
Speaker 11:
[24:51] Wow. We've been, we've been water skiing on sea doos with it. We've been in sauna parties in Northern Finland. We've been mountain climbing in the Rocky Mountains.
Speaker 4:
[25:04] Wait a minute. Let's go back. A player says to you, all right, it's my, I'm assuming it's a player. They get a lot of head blows to the head. He says, I'm going to take the Stanley Cup. I'm going to tuck it under my arm. I'm going to get on my sea do, my jet ski type thing, and I'm going to scoot out across the ocean or lake holding it.
Speaker 11:
[25:26] And you say, make sure it's got a life jacket on. Water safety is important.
Speaker 4:
[25:33] Okay.
Speaker 9:
[25:33] Has anyone ever offered you some cash to keep it a couple extra days or?
Speaker 11:
[25:38] Oh, a lot. A lot of cash, guys.
Speaker 4:
[25:40] Really? Yeah. I mean, these guys are well-paid, so I imagine they're like, you know, hey, I got some friends who haven't seen it yet. That has happened?
Speaker 11:
[25:48] It has. Have you seen the shirt I have on? I'm not well-paid.
Speaker 4:
[25:51] Yeah. But you've resisted the temptation.
Speaker 11:
[25:55] I've never taken a bribe.
Speaker 4:
[25:57] Let me ask you a question. I know that you played hockey. Well, you're Canadian. It's obvious. You played hockey as a young man. You had aspirations. So presumably, like all Canadian kids, you dreamed of the Stanley Cup yourself. And given your job, have you ever imagined or planned what you would do were you to get the Cup to yourself as one of the players or team members do? What would you do?
Speaker 11:
[26:21] You think if I had the chance to have it for a day, you mean? Yeah. I think for me, I would bring it back into my backyard and have an open house and of course an open bar.
Speaker 4:
[26:32] Sure.
Speaker 11:
[26:32] And we'd have a party.
Speaker 4:
[26:34] Yeah, why not?
Speaker 7:
[26:35] Was anyone else expecting long walk on the beach? Yeah.
Speaker 11:
[26:40] The hell with them.
Speaker 4:
[26:41] Well, Phil Pritchard, it's a pleasure to have you here and we have in fact invited you to play a game that we've come up with, that we are calling Let's Go Visit the NHL. By which we mean National Historic Landmarks. Of course, we are going to ask you 3 questions about this list of interesting sites that make up the other NHL. If you get 2 right, you will win our prize for one of our listeners, the voice of any person on our show that might choose for their voicemail. Alzo, who is Phil Pritchard of the Hockey Hall of Fame playing for?
Speaker 2:
[27:16] Sam Chang of San Carlos, California.
Speaker 4:
[27:18] Alright. So here is your first question.
Speaker 11:
[27:21] Alright Sam, let's do this.
Speaker 4:
[27:23] Alright, here is your first question. There is a long list you can find at the Department of the Interior website of National Historic Landmarks around the country, and one of the great things about it is the variety. It's not just old houses and battlefields. The list also includes which of these? A. The birthplace of Saran Wrap. B. The nation's first Clare's store. Or C. The Fresno, California Municipal Sanitary Landfill. Whoa!
Speaker 11:
[27:53] I'm going with A. Saran Wrap.
Speaker 4:
[27:55] You're going to go the birthplace of Saran Wrap.
Speaker 11:
[27:57] Yes.
Speaker 4:
[27:57] I can imagine what the pilgrims would wear as they visited. No, it's actually C. The Fresno, California Municipal Sanitary Landfill on the National Historic Landmark list. It was the first modern landfill in the US. Here's your next question. One of the newest landmarks designated in 2024 is the Kentucky birthplace of paleontology in North America. One of the first places where people started discovering fossils of ancient animals. What is it called? A. Dinosaur Hole, B. Big Bone Lick, or C. Jurassic Park.
Speaker 11:
[28:32] I'm going to go with B.
Speaker 4:
[28:34] You're going to go with Big Bone Lick? You're right. Hundreds of years ago, pioneers and others discovered big bones there that were from mastodons and other prehistoric fauna. And also, living animals came there to lick salt. So, big bone lick. All right, here's your last question. If you get this right, you win. So be careful when you search for national historic landmarks online, because a Google search using AI told us that what is on the list of national historic landmarks? A, Babyland General Hospital, the fake hospital where Cabbage Patch Kids dolls are, quote, born. B, a tree Nicholas Cage hit with his car in 1987. Or C, a 40-foot high floating head of Daniel Boone.
Speaker 11:
[29:33] Well, I don't think it's Nicholas Cage. I'm going to go with Cabbage Patch Kids.
Speaker 4:
[29:39] You're right again, Vaughn. Baby Land General Hospital is a real place in Georgia, where you can go and pretend to get a just born Cabbage Patch Kid. But it is not, as far as we can tell, actually on the list of national historic landmarks.
Speaker 9:
[30:01] It will be now.
Speaker 4:
[30:02] I guess so. Yes. Alzo, how did Phil do in our quiz?
Speaker 2:
[30:06] Phil, you get a Wait Wait trophy that you can keep for yourself. You're a winner today.
Speaker 4:
[30:11] Take it home.
Speaker 5:
[30:13] It's just a tuff bag.
Speaker 4:

[32:20] From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! The NPR News Quiz. I'm Alzo Slade. We're playing this week with Alonzo Bodden, Dulcé Sloan, and Adam Burke. And here again is your host at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.
Speaker 3:
[32:38] Thank you, Alzo.
Speaker 4:
[32:42] In just a minute, for those of you who like your games easy and your rhymes approximate, it's our listener limbrick challenge. If you'd like to play, give us a call. One, triple eight, wait, wait. That's one, triple eight, nine, two, four, eight, nine, two, four. And now, panel, it is time once again for the game we call...
Speaker 2:
[33:01] The Trump Dump.
Speaker 4:
[33:04] Some weeks, news from the Trump administration comes out faster than you can say 25th Amendment. And what we do is we just collect it, round it up in one place, and we ask you about it rapid fire, true, false style. Get yours right, you get a point. You all ready to play? Yeah. Here we go. Alonzo, true or false? In a sermon at the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth read a Bible verse he said was from the Book of Mark, when actually it was from the Book of Ezekiel.
Speaker 9:
[33:29] It was from the Book of Pulp Fiction.
Speaker 4:
[33:31] It was. It was from the movie Pulp Fiction. Dulcé, true or false? When addressing reporters about the war, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant mistakenly referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the Strait of Vermouth.
Speaker 9:
[33:45] True.
Speaker 4:
[33:45] Right. Adam, true or false? A new biography of RFK. Jr. says he once cut off a dead raccoon's penis on a family vacation to quote, study it, later.
Speaker 9:
[33:56] True.
Speaker 4:
[33:57] That is true. Alonzo, according to the biography, RFK later wrote in his journal, quote, I was standing there cutting the penis out of a road-killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be.
Speaker 9:
[34:15] I'm going to go with true.
Speaker 4:
[34:16] You're right again, Dulcé. True or false, Donald Trump was criticized for skipping Iran negotiations to watch a UFC fight with vanilla ice. True. That is true. And Adam, true or false, after the fight, Donald Trump told the winner, you're the toughest fighter I've ever seen, I bet you could beat Iran all by yourself, unquote.
Speaker 7:
[34:41] True.
Speaker 4:
[34:41] No, that is false. He said to the fighter, quote, you could be a model, you look so good, you're too good looking to be a fighter, you're some fighter, you're a beautiful guy, unquote.
Speaker 7:
[34:57] You know the disembodied raccoon penis?
Speaker 4:
[35:00] Yes, I do.
Speaker 7:
[35:01] Is that what we're supposed to take instead of Tylenol?
Speaker 4:
[35:03] Probably. And that's it for this week's Trump Dump. We'll be back with another edition before you know it and before you want it. Now, panel, some questions about the week's news for you. Adam, two pilots were scolded this week after air traffic controllers at National Airport in DC heard what coming over the radio from the cockpit?
Speaker 7:
[35:27] It wouldn't by any chance be the sound of like a cat meowing.
Speaker 4:
[35:32] Yes, indeed. Meowing and barking. Air traffic control in DC heard meowing and barking coming from an active cockpit out there on the tarmac. But there were no pets on the airplane. It was the pilots doing the meowing and barking. Air traffic told them they needed to be more professional. And this is true. In reaction, the pilots barked and meowed even more. And things got even worse when the pilots got the zoomies.
Speaker 5:
[36:00] That's a small space.
Speaker 4:
[36:01] This was recorded. And so the air traffic control was then heard telling the pilots, and this is true, and this is why you still fly a regional jet.
Speaker 9:
[36:10] Damn!
Speaker 4:
[36:14] Major air traffic control diss, man.
Speaker 5:
[36:16] That is shade.
Speaker 4:
[36:17] That is coal. That is coal.
Speaker 5:
[36:19] Not the American Eagle.
Speaker 9:
[36:20] They could have tagged it with four-spirit airlines.
Speaker 5:
[36:22] That's true. The plane only got 30 seats and we know why.
Speaker 7:
[36:28] When they said that, did the pilots start growling?
Speaker 4:
[36:32] Anyway, for those interested in this, the pilots in the story are now available for adoption. Coming up, it's Lightning Fill in the Blank. But first, it's the game where you have to listen for the rhyme. If you'd like to play on air, call or leave a message at 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924.

Speaker 3:
[37:24] Hi.
Speaker 4:
[37:25] Hi, who's this?
Speaker 3:
[37:26] This is Tracy Clark Johnson.
Speaker 4:
[37:28] Hello, Tracy Clark Johnson. How are you? Where are you calling from?
Speaker 3:
[37:31] I am calling from Richmond Hill, Georgia.
Speaker 4:
[37:34] Wow. Where is Richmond Hill?
Speaker 3:
[37:36] So Richmond Hill is about 30 minutes from Savannah, Georgia, and I was there at the Johnny Mercer Theater recently and saw you guys live.
Speaker 4:
[37:46] Yeah, that's great. I'm so glad we were there just recently. Had a great time. Well, welcome back, I guess then Tracy. Alzo Slade is going to read for you three news related limericks with the last word or phrase missing from each. If you can fill in that last word or phrase correctly, two of the limericks will be a winner. You ready to play? I am ready to play. Let's do it. Here's your first limerick.
Speaker 2:
[38:07] On our dates, we get down on all fours. That's because we are scrubbing the floors. We do laundry and shop, clean the windows and mop. We get frisky by doing our chores.
Speaker 4:
[38:20] Yes, chores, the hot new trend in dating. It's chore mats, where instead of going out, you stay home and do quote, regular housework or daily life chores. Sounds boring, okay. But have you ever felt the electricity of folding a fitted sheet with somebody new? Hands are everywhere. According to one psychologist, having a chore mats is a good way to make mundane tasks more exciting. Okay, taxes are a drag, but chore mats your taxes and they become an erotic adventure. Hey honey, this is Charles Schwab. He just is going to watch.
Speaker 7:
[38:56] You know, if you feel electricity with someone while folding laundry, just use one of those dryer sheets, it will take it just out.
Speaker 4:
[39:04] Also, you get you.
Speaker 5:
[39:05] And listen, I might be judged for saying this, but it's giving broke. It's giving broke. Here's the thing, listen, I love to go on a little, you know, let's go shopping. Like we'll do like a little, like, one airing that doesn't consist of me cleaning your, I just got here.
Speaker 7:
[39:24] I mean, I've been told sex is a chore before. Is that what they mean?
Speaker 4:
[39:27] Pretty much. I mean, let's face it, you know, people present themselves one way when they're on a date, but you see a different side of them when you're doing chores. You can even create special bonding moments. Like when the man says, let's take it slow, it's my first time cleaning a bathtub. Here is your next, Glymric.
Speaker 2:
[39:46] This protein-filled energy belcher is refreshing when temperatures swelter. The bubbly cold drink comes in yellow and pink. Beyond Meat is now making a...
Speaker 4:
[39:58] Seltzer. Yes, seltzer. If you love Beyond Burgers and Beyond Chicken, the fake meat, you're the kind of freak who's going to love Beyond Seltzer. The new sparkling beverage contains not only vitamins and electrolytes, but also 10 to 20 grams of pea protein. Incidentally, drink enough of this and you will also......pea protein.
Speaker 7:
[40:20] I've never been asked, would you like your water medium rare?
Speaker 5:
[40:25] I think what happened is, it was just like, okay, we've got all this protein that we use to make the fake meat, right? We're not selling the fake meat, so we need to make drinks. But I think some guy was like, well, seltzer's popular. This is like a real Crystal Pepsi situation. It's like, well, seltzer's popular.
Speaker 9:
[40:40] Yes, because that did so well.
Speaker 3:
[40:42] Exactly.
Speaker 7:
[40:42] It's just going to taste like hot dog water, but in that case, I'm in.
Speaker 3:
[40:48] All right.
Speaker 4:
[40:49] Here is your last limerick.
Speaker 2:
[40:52] My sweet tooth has one holy grail. It's when seasonal candies on sale. Some treats grow a crust. That is really a must. I prefer to eat peeps that are stale.
Speaker 4:
[41:06] Stale, yes. Easter has come and gone. But according to many candy lovers, this is exactly when you want to eat your leftover peeps when they are stale. People say the candy is best when the outside has gotten crunchy, but the inside is still soft, just like a real bird. And if the word stale is kind of throwing you off, one Redditor said, quote, calling them aged is much fancier. That's true. That's why I always pair my four-week-old peeps with the 2020 bottle of Nesquik.
Speaker 5:
[41:45] First of all, peeps is nasty. Second, it's like I've never understood the peep. And you know, now the peep people was like, oh, we could do this other times of the year. So now they got July 4th peeps. Oh, really? They got same, yeah, they just put it...
Speaker 7:
[42:02] Are they called we the peeps? They're not! Idiots!
Speaker 4:
[42:15] Alzo, how did Tracy do in our quiz?
Speaker 2:
[42:17] You have to pronounce the full name, Tracy Clark Johnson.
Speaker 3:
[42:21] Sorry, excuse me.
Speaker 2:
[42:22] Got three out of three, she's the winner.
Speaker 4:
[42:27] Well done.
Speaker 5:
[42:28] Thank you, Seth.
Speaker 3:
[42:30] Welcome back.
Speaker 2:
[42:30] Love y'all.

[43:00] This message comes from Lowe's. Got a little spring fever? Lowe's has the cure. During SpringFest, make your landscape stand out with Miracle Grow 3-quarter cubic foot garden soil. Buy three bags and get three free. Then head inside and save up to 40 percent off select major appliances. The season's best lineup is here at Lowe's. Valid through April 22nd. While supplies last, selection varies by location. See lowes.com for details. Soil offer excludes Alaska and Hawaii.
Speaker 4:
[43:29] Now on to our final game, Lightning Fill in the Blank. Each of our players will have 60 seconds in which to answer as many Fill in the Blank questions as they can. Each correct answer now worth two points. Alzo, can you give us the scores?
Speaker 2:
[43:40] Absolutely. Dulcé is kicking butt with five points. Alonzo has four, and Adam is pulling up the rear with three.
Speaker 4:
[43:47] Okay. All right, Adam, you're in third place, so you're up first. The clock will start when they begin your first question. Fill in the blank. According to a new poll, only 25 percent of Americans see the war with blank as a success.
Speaker 7:
[43:59] Iran?
Speaker 4:
[43:59] Right. On Sunday, Peter Magyar defeated Victor Orban and became the next prime minister of blank.
Speaker 7:
[44:04] Is it Turkey?
Speaker 4:
[44:05] No, it's Hungary.
Speaker 7:
[44:06] I know.
Speaker 4:
[44:07] In order to highlight a city's failing infrastructure, a politician in South Africa blanked.
Speaker 7:
[44:13] Oh, didn't he take a bath in a pothole or something?
Speaker 4:
[44:19] Yeah, based on what we've given to you, he went snorkeling in a pothole. It was deep enough to snorkel in. This week, soccer fans were outraged over reports that train tickets to see a blank game in New Jersey may cost more than $100.
Speaker 7:
[44:29] The World Cup.
Speaker 4:
[44:30] Right. On Tuesday, the books Maxing Influencer Blank was admitted to the hospital for an apparent overdose.
Speaker 7:
[44:34] I hate that I know this. Clavicula.
Speaker 4:
[44:36] Yes. At an Easter celebration in South Korea, the man playing Jesus, who was supposed to be lifted 20 feet in the air by a crane at the climax, ended up blanking.
Speaker 7:
[44:45] I saw this. He just kept going. Yes. He ended up flying.
Speaker 4:
[44:49] Flown into the air to the height of a skyscraper. In what might be the most amazing video anybody has ever seen, the man playing Jesus at an outdoor event at the moment of his resurrection Ascent to heaven starts to ascend from the stage and then pretty much actually goes to heaven. He just keeps going.
Speaker 5:
[45:07] What was he attached to?
Speaker 4:
[45:08] He was attached to a cable that was being raised by a crane. The Lord. Yeah, but the Lord.
Speaker 2:
[45:13] And everyone watching thought it was the rapture.
Speaker 4:
[45:17] I promise that if you haven't watched a video, you're watching this and going, well, obviously he can't keep going higher. He goes higher. He passed the Artemis screw in the other way. Alzo, how did Adam do in our quiz?
Speaker 2:
[45:32] He got five right for 10 points, total of 13.
Speaker 4:
[45:36] All right. So, Alonzo, you are up next. Fill in the blank. On Wednesday, Russia conducted a large scale drone strike against blank.
Speaker 9:
[45:46] Ukraine.
Speaker 4:
[45:47] Right. According to the IRS, this year's average blank refund is higher than last year.
Speaker 9:
[45:51] Tax.
Speaker 4:
[45:51] Right. This week, outbreaks of blank continued to spread throughout the country.
Speaker 9:
[45:55] Measles.
Speaker 4:
[45:55] Right. According to a new study, people taking weight loss drug blank reported it dulled their emotions.
Speaker 9:
[46:01] The GLP-1.
Speaker 4:
[46:01] Yeah. Ozempic and the like. This week, Toronto's CN Tower lit up periwinkle blue in honor of blank.
Speaker 9:
[46:07] I don't know. Canada?
Speaker 4:
[46:08] No. In honor of Irritable Bowel Syndrome Awareness Month.
Speaker 9:
[46:13] How did I not know that?
Speaker 4:
[46:16] Clearly, you weren't aware of it. On Thursday, health officials in the US warned of a new blank resistant bacteria.
Speaker 9:
[46:22] Vaccine?
Speaker 4:
[46:23] Well, I'll give it to you. Drug resistant. According to a new study, blank song closely parallels the patterns of human speech.
Speaker 9:
[46:30] Bird?
Speaker 4:
[46:30] No, whale song. This week, a woman with a knee injury, who was promised an empty row on her flight, was surprised to find the seats filled and more surprised when one of her seat mates blanked.
Speaker 9:
[46:40] Had a bad knee?
Speaker 4:
[46:41] No, gave her a 30-minute foot massage.
Speaker 9:
[46:44] Is that legal?
Speaker 4:
[46:46] Apparently, the unexpected extra passenger quote noticed the woman tending to her hurt knee and insisted that she keep her leg up and began a 30-plus minute reflexology massage. So the next time you're annoyed when the person next to you in a flight wants to talk, just remember, it could be worse. Alzo, how did Alonzo do in our quiz?
Speaker 2:
[47:04] Did alright. He got five right for ten more points. He has now a total of 14 and the lead.
Speaker 4:
[47:10] Alright, so how many then does Dulcé need to win?
Speaker 2:
[47:16] She needs five to win.
Speaker 4:
[47:18] Okay, Dulcé, this is for the game. Fill in the blank, on Wednesday a jury ruled that Live Nation and Blank operated as a monopoly to dominate the ticketing industry.
Speaker 5:
[47:27] True, what?
Speaker 4:
[47:28] No, Live Nation and Blank, another company.
Speaker 5:
[47:31] Oh, Ticketmaster.
Speaker 4:
[47:32] Right. On Tuesday the Justice Department moved to dismiss the seditious conspiracy convictions against certain participants in the Blank Riot.
Speaker 5:
[47:40] January 6th.
Speaker 4:
[47:41] Right, this week, runners in the recent Milwaukee Marathon were surprised to discover that the designers of the medal they received had blanked.
Speaker 5:
[47:48] Stolen the medal?
Speaker 4:
[47:50] No, the designers of the medal they received had misspelled the word marathon on it. Following their historic mission to the Blank, the crew of the Artemis II returned home this last week. Moon! Yes, this week, the designers of a new Nintendo game said they spent a large part of the nine-year development cycle getting blank just right.
Speaker 5:
[48:08] Their ramen recipe.
Speaker 4:
[48:09] No, getting the fart sounds in the game just right. Tomodachi Life, Living the Dream is this new cozy town simulator, kind of like Animal Crossing except all the cute animals are just ripping ass all the time. Designers spent years working on the fart sounds with most programmers worried they weren't cartoonish enough. There's still a little realism left in the final product, though anytime your character lets out a fart they immediately say, That wasn't me. Also, did Dulcé do well enough to win?
Speaker 2:
[48:40] No, not really. She got three right for six more points, total of 11, which means Alonzo wins.
Speaker 4:
[48:49] Congratulations Alonzo Bodden, this week's champion.
