Meredith Scardines. Hi.

2:56

So Elizabeth, welcome to the show. You're going to play

2:59

Who's Bill this time? Of course, Bill Curtis is

3:01

going to read you three quotations from this week's

3:03

news. Your job correctly, identify, explain. Just two of

3:05

them. Do that and you will

3:07

win our prize. Any voice from our show

3:09

you might choose for your voicemail. Are you

3:11

ready to go? I am. All right. Your

3:13

first quote is from a presidential candidate talking

3:15

about a minor health issue. A

3:18

worm got into my brain and he's a portion

3:20

of it and then died. Which

3:24

presidential candidate has, or

3:27

I guess still has, a

3:30

worm in his brain? Oh,

3:34

RFK Junior. Yes, RFK

3:36

Junior. Robert

3:39

F. Kennedy Jr., independent candidate for

3:42

president, has revealed that a parasitic

3:44

worm ate part of his brain

3:47

and then died in there, prompting

3:50

an outpouring of well wishes

3:52

and oh, that explains it.

3:56

So is that the Kennedy curse, the

3:58

Kennedy There's still

4:00

going on I say to her oh

4:02

yeah, they're associated with area cut down

4:05

of the Prime of Life J Care

4:07

of Kids Senior and the Worm. Now

4:11

it is isn't enough. It's a

4:13

problem for of Mr. Kennedy his

4:15

campaign because he has pitched himself

4:17

as a younger sister alternative to

4:19

either Zama, some for Joe Biden

4:22

and Be worm would have liked

4:24

to add and tastier. Same.

4:28

Mean cuss? Yep. Yep. worms

4:30

don't. They regenerate. sometime.

4:32

Soon as a young a police officer, young

4:35

thriving. where are the ah so amazing is

4:37

possible that like the like the worm split

4:39

in half and now he's got to worms

4:41

potential. I don't. Know I don't know

4:44

as place. Don't

4:46

worry man, I I did.

4:49

Read that he our medical

4:51

prognosis is t bit. Off

4:55

as zone says leave it there and

4:57

leave it. There is one thing you

4:59

don't wanna do and you get a

5:01

worm and your brain is making during.

5:05

That you know, if he had

5:07

just gotten that warm vaccination, this

5:09

would not. Want

5:13

my we. All have I

5:15

ever knew. How

5:18

to. Say that you know. How did we

5:20

find out about his worm? Why did

5:22

he admitted? Because it came out in

5:24

a deposition said Kennedy gave us years

5:26

ago to claim. Diminished.

5:28

Earning capacity. right?

5:31

During an acrimonious divorce is like I can

5:33

make any money to pay you alimony. I

5:35

have a woman. My brain, a lot of

5:37

money said. A lot of marriages as we

5:39

know sadly ends when your spouse tells you

5:42

honey, there's someone else. You

5:46

just. Never think it's gonna be a war.

5:50

How much of a brat? much of his brains of it? He.

5:53

to the that is interesting question we

5:56

don't know and why did it stop

5:58

eating it It

6:01

got poisoned. What's

6:09

worse than a worm eating your brain, a worm taking

6:11

your bite of your brain and sending it back? Alright,

6:17

your next quote is from

6:19

the judge at Donald Trump's trial this

6:22

week after testimony from a key witness.

6:24

There are some things that would have been better

6:27

left unsaid. So Judge Juan

6:29

Mirchán was talking about what star witness?

6:32

Dormy Daniels. Dormy

6:35

Daniels, yes. Ms.

6:38

Daniels began by swearing to tell the truth, the

6:40

whole truth, and nothing but the truth and she

6:42

started talking and the judge was like, good lord

6:45

lady, maybe not the whole truth. She

6:48

was testifying about of course her

6:50

fateful meeting with Donald Trump many

6:52

years ago and she provided

6:56

details. In

6:58

fact, I did not know

7:01

until this week that the

7:03

judge himself can

7:05

make an objection. And

7:07

that happened. The

7:10

judge said, I object to this,

7:12

TMI, legal term. Were

7:14

you guys rude to the testimony? The creepy is detailed.

7:16

Like it was one of those weird things where like,

7:19

oh it's so disgusting and you're like, oh yeah, that's

7:21

absurd. What was it? The

7:24

most disturbing part to me is that when she

7:26

came, he asked her up to his room and

7:28

he opened the door in silk pajamas. Yes. Oh.

7:33

Like you're going on a trip and

7:36

you're packing that. After everything we heard

7:38

about that night, the thing that you

7:40

found most offensive was the silk pajamas.

7:43

That was the most offensive. I

7:45

travel a lot. I'm on the road

7:47

all the time. If you're packing that,

7:49

you're a special kind of cringe. But

7:52

you know what though? He

7:55

told someone to pack them for him. He

7:57

doesn't pack. He told someone to do that.

8:00

like this guy right so I

8:02

guess you know since of course

8:04

Trump had said it never happened

8:06

that you can understand why she

8:08

decided to go into details and

8:10

describing what happened but why did

8:12

the courtroom artist have to draw

8:14

all of it the whole description

8:18

sounds so cliche old-timey rich man

8:20

sex like boxers yeah you know

8:22

black stock pull up with a

8:24

little defender things on the stock

8:26

if you're thirsty and howling you

8:29

put on pajamas like

8:32

Montgomery Burns love making

8:34

edit alright

8:37

Elizabeth we have one more quote

8:39

for you here it is come

8:41

on kids let's grab drinks that

8:43

was the New York Times talking

8:45

about how children are increasing

8:47

the ones who are ordering what

8:50

on upscale restaurant menus oh

8:52

I read this non-alcoholic drink

8:55

yes mocktails non-alcoholic drinks

8:57

very good as

9:01

more and more restaurants are putting these

9:03

fancy non-alcoholic drinks in the menu more

9:05

and more children are ordering them to

9:08

the consternation of the bartenders they are

9:10

not for kids they're for adults who

9:12

do not drink alcohol but want the

9:14

thrill of paying $17 for juice sounds

9:16

like some stuff that

9:19

kids in Brooklyn would do a

9:21

little kid and Applebee's in Arkansas

9:24

ordering and that's no my to the

9:26

sounds like some Brooklyn kid boss baby

9:29

energy hipster baby hipster baby yeah walking

9:31

around with like a twizzlers pretending it's a

9:33

cigarette it's got to

9:35

be real upsetting for these bartenders though because

9:37

there's you know they're like you said Brooklyn

9:39

bartenders and they're they're all old

9:42

timey and they're mixing it up and

9:44

taking their cool yeah mix ologists and

9:46

then a little kid orders it and

9:49

just got to make him so angry

9:51

just starts twirling yeah kids don't tip

9:53

either that's another thing yeah they don't

9:55

even have money right we

9:59

serving them anyway Who are these

10:01

kids? Get them out of here. Play it in cocktail

10:03

bars. Bill, how did Elizabeth

10:05

do in our quiz? What a courageous woman.

10:07

She sat there and took it to that

10:09

whole quiz and hit three home runs. Congratulations.

10:12

Well done, Elizabeth. Thank

10:15

you so much for playing and good luck

10:17

with next year's Quilt Tom. Oh.

10:31

Tom. Yes? An

10:34

airline story went viral on TikTok

10:36

this week when one passenger lied

10:38

and cheated, was caught lying and

10:40

cheating in the most important airline

10:43

passenger negotiation. What? Uh...

10:47

Lied to who? Lied to another passenger. Oh,

10:49

to another passenger? Yes. Lied

10:51

to the passenger about not

10:54

being able to move their seat, trade seats with them? Exactly

10:56

right. He lied about trading seats, but that's

10:58

not what he did. So

11:01

on this flight, as somebody documented it,

11:03

a father asked this other man to switch seats with

11:05

him so the first guy could sit with his children,

11:08

and he offered his own

11:11

aisle seat in return, and the very nice man said, oh, of

11:13

course you can sit with your children, got up and went back

11:15

and found out it was a

11:17

middle seat. Oh.

11:20

He lied. The dad

11:22

lied. And unfortunately, it

11:24

just so happened this was not a Boeing

11:26

aircraft, so there was not an available hole

11:28

to throw him out of. This

11:34

video being put up, led to outrage,

11:36

of course, but then also a wide-ranging

11:38

discussion and the etiquette of seat swapping.

11:40

So what if you're sitting there, you're

11:42

very happy, and somebody's like, oh,

11:44

would you excuse me because I'd love to sit next to my

11:46

wife or whatever, but you really don't want to move? What

11:49

do you do then? Oh, I don't speak English.

11:52

I'm the best from

11:54

no English. This

14:12

Hi, you are on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Hi,

14:14

Peter. This is Ellen from Cora, Montana.

14:16

Cora, Montana. I don't know there. Where

14:19

is that exactly, Montana? We're about

14:21

eight miles south of the west entrance of

14:23

Glacier National Park. I have been to

14:25

that area. It is fantastically beautiful. What

14:28

do you do there? I am a

14:30

retail operations manager and buyer for the gift

14:32

shops around the park. No. Can

14:35

I ask you, because I wonder this whenever

14:37

I see this, what's like the most popular

14:39

shotsky right now, and does it change? I

14:42

mean, the most popular thing is the stupid t-shirt. It

14:45

says, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger,

14:47

except for bears. Bears will kill you. I

14:49

like that. I don't know.

14:51

That's correct me. It's pretty wise advice, right? I like

14:54

that. Well, Megan, welcome to our show. So

14:56

what is Megan's topic? How we lost the big game. There's all kinds

14:59

of ways to lose big in sports. A

15:09

bad play, an injury,

15:11

fan duel. This

15:14

week we heard a surprising way that somebody lost

15:16

a very important match. Our panelists are going to

15:18

tell you about it. Pick the real one and

15:20

you'll win the waiter of your choice and your

15:22

voicemail. Are you ready to play? I sure am.

15:24

Okay. First, let's hear

15:27

from Brian Babylon. When the annual

15:29

Hamptons Elite Cricket match coincided with

15:31

billions of cicadas coming out of

15:33

the ground, many people urged

15:35

them to cancel the event. But

15:38

the game between the East Hampton

15:40

wickets and the Liverpool spinners was

15:42

expected to draw a large crowd

15:45

of enthusiasts. So the wickets

15:47

team chef had a great idea to make the

15:49

most of the historic bug

15:51

infestation. Cicada smoothies.

15:56

According to experts, drinking cicadas

15:58

can give you cicada. brain,

16:00

which was immediately apparent as

16:03

the wicket players begin their pregame

16:05

warm ups. They were running in

16:07

erratic patterns, doing Bob Fosse dance

16:10

moves, chasing imaginary cricket

16:12

balls and screaming. So much

16:14

screaming. The wickets had to

16:16

forfeit the match. And

16:18

the day turned into an impromptu

16:20

insect awareness seminar as entomologists in

16:22

attendance took the opportunity to educate

16:24

the crowd about cicadas and their

16:27

life cycle. It's important

16:29

to respect all creatures and

16:31

maybe not blend them into smoothies.

16:35

Cicada smoothies ruin a cricket

16:38

team's performance. Your

16:41

next loser legacy comes from

16:43

Meredith Scardino. The first

16:45

annual Calumvale cheerleading invitational

16:47

in Brisbane, Australia, maybe

16:49

it's last after organizers

16:52

built the competition area

16:54

too close to a

16:56

flock of magpies. Territorial

16:58

magpies nesting in nearby

17:01

trees quote, squawked, rattled,

17:03

and dropped sticks whenever

17:05

cheerleading pyramids breached three

17:07

tiers. It created

17:10

an atmosphere of fear when it should

17:12

have just been fun, said one participant

17:14

whose clip on braid had been taken.

17:18

At least two teams dropped out while

17:20

others took precautions and performed in bike

17:22

helmets. But Sydney cheer won,

17:24

the squad heavily favored to win, took matters

17:26

into their own hands, throwing rocks, sneakers,

17:28

and pom-poms at the birds in an

17:30

attempt to scare them off. It

17:33

seemed to work until Sydney's

17:35

final stunt, which culminated on

17:37

stage in five girls eight

17:39

feet in the air waving sequined flags

17:41

that were silver, then beaks

17:43

rained down from the sky and they lost.

17:49

Cheerleading team attacked. A

17:52

flag of magpies that enraged. Your

17:54

last story, Cruisin' for a Lusin, comes from

17:57

Tom Papa. When a soccer team

17:59

is trying to get you, to the playoffs that needs a

18:01

lot of things. One of the

18:03

things it doesn't need is some rich guy

18:05

buying his way onto the team and running

18:07

around like a rich guy who bought his

18:09

way onto the team. That's

18:13

what Paris Hilton's brother-in-law,

18:15

45-year-old Courtney Reum did.

18:18

He had always wanted to be a

18:20

professional soccer player, but when he realized

18:22

he didn't have enough talent, skill, or

18:24

natural born gift, he replaced all of

18:26

that with money. As

18:29

part of a six-figure deal, Reum insisted

18:31

he get to play in a real

18:33

game with real stakes. And

18:35

when the team was down one goal

18:37

in their final game, he entered the

18:40

game and they lost, relegating

18:42

the team to a lower league for

18:45

next season, when Reum will

18:47

most likely be buying his way

18:49

onto a submersible. All

18:52

right, these are your choices. Was he

18:54

managed to lose a game or

18:56

a match in an interesting way?

18:58

Was it from Brian Babel on a

19:01

cricket team who was sabotaged by a

19:03

chef who decided to make everybody cicada

19:05

smoothies to celebrate those cicadas arrival? Was

19:08

it from Meredith Scardino, a cheerleading

19:11

team that lost their competition in

19:13

Australia because they provoked a

19:15

flock of magpies nearby? Or

19:18

from Tom Papa, a professional soccer

19:20

team in Portugal that lost because

19:23

they took a rich guy's money

19:26

to let him play during the

19:28

key moments? Which of these is

19:30

the real story of an unexpected loss

19:32

in the news? I

19:34

think I have to go with Tom's story about the rich

19:37

guy. So you're going to go with

19:39

Tom's story about the rich guy,

19:41

Paris Elko's brother-in-law, nonetheless, who bought

19:43

his way onto a Portuguese soccer

19:45

team and ruined everything. All

19:47

right, well, to bring you the real story, we

19:49

spoke to the reporter who covered it. Johnny

19:53

is a 45-year-old venture capitalist and

19:55

about two years ago got the

19:57

idea that he would like to...

20:00

play in a big time game. That

20:02

was David Marino Nachoson, a

20:05

reporter who broke this story for the Wall

20:07

Street Journal. Congratulations, Megan, you got it right.

20:09

You earned a point for Tom. You've won

20:11

our prize. The voice is your choice on

20:13

your voicemail. Congratulations. Thank you

20:17

so much for playing with us today. Thanks

20:20

for having me. Thank you, and save a t-shirt for

20:22

me the next time I come by. Take care. Bye

20:24

bye. Thanks. And

20:31

now the game we call Not

20:34

My Job. Kaylee Rose Amstutz was

20:36

a teenager who became a local celebrity

20:41

in her hometown in Missouri, singing her songs

20:44

at festivals and on YouTube. But then Kaylee

20:46

created the persona of Chapel Rhone

20:49

and Chapel Rhone's first album, The

20:51

Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess,

20:53

became a monster hit. And now she's

20:56

become one of the biggest pop stars

20:58

around Chapel Rhone. Welcome to Wait, Wait,

21:00

Don't Call Me. Thank you.

21:03

You're welcome. Thank you. I

21:05

mean, is it not true? I guess. You're pretty big time,

21:12

Chapel. I'm a

21:14

random girl. I don't feel like any of the same things

21:16

you said. So I'll put

21:18

in that you said my full name. Oh, I'm sorry.

21:20

No more of that. No more of that.

21:23

Well, I

21:26

won't mention that name, but the story I told

21:28

her, Hope is True, that you were performing under

21:31

your own name and then you

21:33

became Chapel Rhone. And can you tell me

21:35

why, like who is Chapel and

21:37

how is she different from that other person who

21:39

I won't name? I

21:43

mean, Chapel is just the version of

21:45

me I would say. Quite outgoing and

21:47

has no issue being loud and proud.

21:50

It's quite exhausting to be honest.

21:52

Who are we talking to right

21:55

now? Who

22:00

is that? That's what we

22:02

know. I'm

22:05

going to say 60-40. 60-40. 60-40.

22:07

Well, OK. 60-40. 60-40. Move.

22:10

So when you're done being

22:12

chapel for the day, until some dumb radio show

22:14

wants to talk to you about it, what do

22:16

you do? Do you just change your clothes? Do

22:18

you put chapel away? Is there a ritual you

22:20

do just to say, OK, I'm not chapel anymore?

22:22

How do you keep it separate if it's so

22:24

exhausting to be chapel? That is scream into my

22:26

pillow and then take

22:29

off all my makeup and

22:31

watch drag race. Yes, sure. But

22:35

other people do drag for a while. You

22:39

have to come out as chapel to the people who knew

22:41

you? Because you were very young when chapel first was

22:44

conjured up, right? Well, I thankfully

22:47

wasn't very successful as Kaylee Rose.

22:49

So nobody really knew the difference,

22:51

to be honest. And it

22:54

stuck

22:56

pretty quickly. Were you

22:58

inspired by anybody? Well,

23:01

let me ask you about your musical influences. Who were you

23:03

listening to as a kid when you started to make your

23:06

own music? I

23:08

was listening to Christian rock music only. And

23:11

I found

23:13

Kesha. And

23:16

I was like, oh my god. OK.

23:20

All right, so you said you were

23:22

listening to Christian rock exclusively. And then

23:25

how did you come across Kesha? It's

23:28

cool. People were talking about it. They

23:31

were singing other than seventh or

23:33

eighth grade. And all these

23:35

girls were like, oh, do

23:37

you know this song, Blow, by Kesha? And I

23:39

was like, no, what is it? And they're like,

23:42

blow. And

23:45

I was like, oh,

23:47

holy crap. Nice

23:50

save there. Nice save

23:53

there, Shabble. Yeah.

23:55

Yeah. Wow. And is that when it

23:58

all through your brain sort of? I

24:01

feel like it was like going in when Dorothy

24:03

lands in Oz and it's in color, right? You

24:05

sort of saw the world differently? Yeah,

24:08

it was like glitter and like

24:11

freaking stockings ripped up

24:13

the sides. Like just,

24:16

it's just insane. I loved it

24:18

so much. We heard a great story that

24:20

when you signed your first record contract, they

24:22

announced it at your high school over the

24:24

PA. Yeah. That's

24:27

true. Do you remember? Were you there? Were

24:30

you listening when they said it? Yeah. What

24:32

did they say? Well,

24:34

first they said like, there's like

24:36

a senior football player that

24:38

got signed to Mizzou, which is a Missouri

24:41

University. Yeah. They're

24:43

like, congratulations, Forrest just signed to

24:45

Mizzou, F1 football, Lola, and

24:47

everyone was

24:50

like, woo. And they're like, oh yeah, congratulations,

24:52

Kaylee, I'm signed with Atlantic

24:54

Records. We are having pizza

24:56

for lunch today. I

25:00

was like that crispy

25:02

and I was just like, oh

25:05

my God, literally why did they do that?

25:09

And then people thought I was lying, which

25:11

is valid. There's

25:14

a video for one of your songs, a Hut to Go,

25:16

which I love. Again.

25:20

And in that video, Chapel

25:22

goes back to Missouri

25:25

in Springfield. And it

25:27

opens with you teaching the Hut to Go dance

25:30

to your grandparents. And

25:33

I have two questions, which is first, how did they

25:35

do with the dance? And

25:38

secondly, what has your hometown

25:42

felt about Chapel now that you've gone

25:44

pretty big? I mean, you're playing Coachella,

25:46

you're opening for Olivia Rodrigo. My

25:52

grandparents did their best. And

25:57

then my hometown. My

26:01

hometown, I was

26:03

prepared to be run

26:05

out of town because, I

26:08

don't know, it's pretty wild what

26:10

I'm bringing to the table, but it

26:13

has brought out all

26:16

these queer people and like people

26:19

I've never met or seen and

26:21

could come to my show. And

26:25

it's made me appreciate my hometown so much

26:27

more and realize like, oh my god, they

26:29

were here this whole time. I just didn't

26:31

know. You refer to the

26:33

chapel as drag and you love

26:36

drag performers. In fact, many of

26:38

your shows open with drag performers,

26:40

right? Have you ever had the

26:42

thrill of seeing a drag performer,

26:44

hopefully a good one, do

26:46

one of your songs like lip-sync to you?

26:49

Well, I love that drag, first of

26:52

all. Okay, no bad drag. Good drag, bad

26:54

drag, it's all great. I've

26:58

never seen someone in person

27:00

do it by videos and they're always,

27:03

I mean, they serve an incredible one. Well,

27:07

Chapel Roan, it is absolutely a thrill to talk

27:09

to you, but we have some business to do.

27:11

We've asked you here to play a game that

27:13

this time we're calling Hot Food to Go. So

27:15

one of your big hits is Hot to Go,

27:18

which inspired us to ask you about takeout

27:20

food. Answer

27:23

two to three questions about takeout and to

27:25

win our prize for one of our listeners,

27:27

the voice of anyone they might like from

27:30

our show. Bill, who

27:32

is Chapel Roan playing for? Ten-year-old

27:34

Gordon Draper of Des Moines, Iowa. He's

27:39

playing for a ten-year-old. That's unusual. That's

27:41

unusual for us. Here we

27:43

go. Here's your first question. Food carts, of course,

27:45

a great way to get food to go. Which

27:48

of these is a real food cart you

27:50

can get food from somewhere in the world?

27:52

Was it A, cicada burrata, which

27:56

shows up whenever a cicada brood emerges and

27:58

serves them deep fried with, of course, cheese,

28:02

be kitchen of the unwanted animal

28:04

in Amsterdam, a cart that exclusively

28:06

serves stew made from geese killed

28:09

by cars, or

28:11

see sewer softies which serve

28:13

soft ice cream through a

28:15

sewer grate below the

28:18

curb on Yamhill Street in Portland,

28:20

Oregon. I think... B

28:22

is real? Your

28:28

fans here think it's B. I

28:30

think it's B. It is B. Everybody's right. Yeah. And

28:34

they say

28:37

it's pretty good goose stew. So if you're next time

28:39

in Amsterdam, stop by. Your

28:41

next question, you're doing great. Plenty of fast

28:44

food lovers dream of trying the options from

28:46

other countries, including those served in Scotland, where

28:48

something called the Munchi Box is

28:51

a popular takeout item. What

28:53

is a Munchi Box? A, it's the

28:55

Scottish equivalent of a Happy Meal, except instead of a

28:57

toy, kids get a side of Addis. B,

29:01

it's a single box stuffed with kebabs,

29:03

fried chicken, a whole pizza, chicken, tikka

29:05

masala, samosas, onion rings, chow mein noodles,

29:07

non-bread, garlic bread. And for the health

29:09

conscious, coleslaw. For

29:13

C, the Munchi Box is something we are

29:15

not allowed to say on NPR. B?

29:23

B is right. Yes. Good for you.

29:25

That's right. Everything

29:28

you've ever wanted to eat at once. All right.

29:30

Last question. American fast food

29:32

restaurants are banned in Iran, but business

29:34

owners in that country have found a

29:37

workaround. They just create restaurants with similar

29:39

menus and names, but

29:41

they're changed slightly. So

29:44

which of these is a real ripoff

29:46

of an American fast food restaurant they've

29:48

got in Iran? A,

29:50

Mash Donald B,

29:53

Pizza Hot. Or

29:56

C, K, F, D. What

30:01

does a D stand for? I have... KFD?

30:05

Oh my god. B? B,

30:07

you're going

30:12

to go for B. You're right. They're all real. They're

30:15

all real. They're all restaurants

30:17

you can go to in Iran. Pizza

30:19

hat. Pizza hat. Oh, go

30:21

down to Pizza Hat and get a

30:23

pizza. That's

30:26

what they have. Bill, how did Chapel Roan do

30:28

on our quiz? Brilliant. She's gone

30:30

to the top of the Mitchell-Hiss list. Chapel,

30:32

congratulations. You had them all right. Congratulations. Thank

30:35

you. Thank you. Thank

30:37

you. Thank you. So,

30:39

Chapel Roan's new single is Good Luck

30:42

Babe, her album. Her

30:45

album is the rise and fall of a

30:47

Midwest princess. You can catch her

30:49

on tour now. Chapel Roan, what an absolute

30:51

joy to meet you. Thank you for

30:54

32:57

give us a call, 1-888-Wait-Wait. That's 1-888-924-8924. But right

33:15

now, panel some

33:18

more questions for you from the week's news.

33:20

Muradeth, this week, The Washington Post offered advice

33:22

for parents trying to talk to their adult

33:24

kids about what big change. Perry

33:27

Menopause. No.

33:31

Although clearly

33:35

that notion has some support among our

33:37

demographic. Not

33:40

that. I'll give you a hint. The parents are like, oh, I'm sorry,

33:42

honey. I know it's painful,

33:44

but I just don't think we need

33:46

your princess diary. He's too poster on the wall anymore.

33:49

A big change. Oh, their room is turned into

33:51

a gym or... Yeah, exactly.

33:54

Taking their childhood room away.

33:56

That's the problem. Many

33:58

young adults feel hurt when they come back to the hospital. say

34:00

the holidays and their old room is filled with

34:02

their parents stop one woman it

34:04

told the washington post he was furious to

34:06

find her dad suits in her closet well

34:09

it could have been worse it could have been his whip so

34:14

talking to your adult children about making

34:16

their teenage hellhole into a usable space

34:18

is hard but according to their fit

34:20

you just need to have an open

34:22

conversation with your kid like this is

34:24

my house you

34:28

don't live here anymore right we

34:30

don't love you i

34:32

37:20

is Chris Bassle from Chicago. Hey Chris how

37:22

are ya?

37:24

What are you

37:26

doing here in Chicago? The greatest city in the world. I

37:30

am the chief of staff to a

37:32

CEO. Okay can you say more

37:34

or will he have you killed? I'm

37:36

pretty sure I signed an NDA at some

37:38

point. I'm pretty sure. Right chief of staff

37:40

so that means you do this person's schedule

37:42

and bring them their... I don't

37:44

know. What do you do for them? A lot of smiling

37:46

and nodding and telling the Emperor he's wearing no clothes. Right?

37:50

Does the Emperor listen to this radio

37:52

show? Luckily

37:54

no he's in Europe. There you go. I'm safe.

37:56

You're safe. Alright well welcome to

37:58

the show Chris. Bill Curtis is going

38:01

to read you three news-related limericks with the last-order phrase

38:03

missing from each. If you can fill in

38:05

that last-order phrase correctly, and two of the limericks will be a big

38:07

winner. Ready to go? I'm ready. Here's

38:10

your first limerick. My attention, new

38:12

websites will grab. At

38:14

the plus with my mouse, I will jab.

38:18

Most people say, yowza, go

38:20

check out that browser as

38:23

I open my eight thousandth... Tab.

38:26

Tab, yeah. A woman is in the news after

38:28

sharing a picture of her

38:30

computer browser bragging that she

38:32

always has around 7,500 tabs open. Ironically,

38:37

at least half of them are just

38:39

Google searches for, why computer running slow?

38:44

As far as we can tell, no one's ever really

38:46

done the research. 7,500 is the

38:48

world record for the amount of tabs open on a

38:51

browser. On an iPhone, the

38:53

record is still however many tabs your mom

38:55

had the last time you looked at her

38:57

phone. It

39:00

is weird that this digital stuff

39:02

actually has a physical effect. Like you

39:05

ever go through your inbox

39:07

and really cull it out

39:09

and get down to like 20? No.

39:13

Oh, you should do it. It's like an

39:15

anima. What's

39:18

most shocking is the woman said that her browser

39:20

crashed and she was able to relaunch all of

39:22

the tabs. And you're like, you

39:24

were given a chance at a new

39:26

life and

39:28

you refused it. She has a

39:30

disorder, man. That's some type of

39:32

disorder. Like Adderall might help, but

39:35

it might not. So it's like

39:38

the worm ate a very specific pair. Yeah.

39:42

The worms are being targeted. All right,

39:45

here's your next limerick. I'm retired and

39:47

yet I still grouse. We

39:49

have money, our house, a nice house.

39:52

But we're always at home together alone.

39:56

I don't know what to do with

39:59

my spouse. Yes, the New

40:01

York Times Magazine profiled retired couples who

40:03

are struggling now that they actually have

40:05

to spend all of their time together

40:08

It's right there in the vows though for better

40:10

or for worse for richer for poorer for three

40:12

hours a day max It

40:16

makes sense you used to having the house to

40:18

yourself all day, right? Now all of a sudden

40:20

there's this another person in your space seeing what

40:22

garbage you eat all day and constantly trying to

40:25

make you Watch funny Instagram videos so they don't

40:27

like being together. Yes, so they So

40:30

they've had all this distraction in their life and

40:32

now it's gotten smaller and they retire Yeah, I'm

40:34

back in there and they're just looking at each

40:36

other. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much I thought couples were

40:38

like how you see in those, you

40:41

know pharmaceutical commercials happy

40:44

doing activities extra vacation older couple Oh,

40:46

yeah, yeah, like all the tires. That's

40:49

what we all yeah, like, you know,

40:51

they might have some pills to take

40:53

but they're happy You Think

40:59

if you've got all the way to retirement,

41:01

yeah, you'd feel like you like

41:04

that person Yeah,

41:06

but of course the thing is you have liked

41:08

that person because you don't have

41:10

to see them every day Yeah,

41:12

you might like it, but not love them You

41:15

would new kids you just bring

were dogs that identified as Pandas? No.

45:19

Well, I'm going to give

45:21

it to you. I'm going to give it to you because

45:23

they were dogs that have been painted to look like Pandas.

45:25

Yeah. The

45:28

zoo couldn't secure any actual Pandas, but they

45:30

had already sold tickets, so they did the

45:32

next best thing. They painted some chow chows

45:34

black and white and hoped nobody would notice.

45:37

That said, the zoo totally tipped their hand

45:39

45:41

are our Pandas, Lin Lin and

45:43

Rover. Bill, how

time, please. Oh, and I think I'm sick about

47:15

ducklings as they always follow the next one. Yeah.

47:18

Because they're just like getting his line. Like,

48:42

the Cybertruck won't break your fingers.

State Farm. As a State

51:41

Farm agent and agency owner, Lakeisha

51:43

Gaines is passionate about empowering other

51:45

small businesses. In the last

51:47

several years there are more business owners

51:49

than we can count. Businesses

51:52

are opening up quite frequently and

51:54

I think that shows the need, the

51:56

dreams and the desires of the community

51:58

to have the... independence and to have

52:01

the financial freedom that's important to them. The

52:03

reason why it's so important to me

52:06

to be out there, to share information

52:08

and to educate the community is because

52:10

I know that a dream doesn't always

52:12

help you to be successful. You need

52:14

the competency, you need the wisdom, you need

52:17

the knowledge. That's where we come

52:19

in as Bay Farm agents, our ability

52:21

to be able to teach over 100

52:23

years of experience in this world to

52:25

say, Hey, we got you. You got this

52:27
