it's Peter thanks for listening to Wait Wait Don't

0:20

Tell Me. Now usually I just assume

0:22

our audience likes what I like which

0:25

is of course clever Shakespeare references and

0:27

occasional French phrases but apparently

0:29

that is not effective market research so

0:31

please help us out by filling out

2:34

parents' lives in Austin and the seventies when

2:36

I was truly we are and I know

2:38

I gotta now whether they are they still

2:40

around of they complain about Howard Stern's. Another

3:25

Curtis is going to be to three quotations

3:27

from this week's news. If you can correctly

3:29

identify rustling to them you when our prize

3:32

any voice from are so you may choose

3:34

when your voicemail Are you ready to go?

3:36

Let's say your first growth is somebody leaving

3:38

a comment on an article in the New

3:40

York Times? Why can't they make a spaceship

3:42

shaped like a We Both So it's wobbles

3:44

what is most of its own. Good

3:49

thinking that commenter was talking about. spaceship

3:51

that landed were and then

3:54

immediately topple over the moon

3:56

moon yes It

4:00

is the first American spaceship to land on the moon

4:02

since 1972. It completed its

4:04

journey of hundreds of thousands of miles

4:07

and immediately fell over on its side.

4:10

I mean, that's a very long journey. I'd

4:13

fall over and rest as well. Yeah, I

4:15

know. But also there's less gravity on

4:17

the moon. So is it like... ...mooooooow? Oh,

4:20

oh. Like a really, really slow

4:22

fall. It's still falling. Yeah.

4:24

It's so weird. They spent tens

4:27

of millions of dollars on its propulsion

4:29

systems, more tens of millions on its

4:31

navigation systems, and apparently there was nothing

4:33

left over for a kickstand. So

4:38

I heard it was powered by

4:40

solar panels, and it wasn't

4:42

getting any sun. Right, that's it. Yeah. The

4:45

problem is... They should have sent it to

4:47

the sun. Awwwwwwww! It

4:49

would be fast, right? They'd better be back

4:51

already. The problem is that it's going to

4:53

be powered supposedly by solar panels, but because

4:56

it fell over, the solar panels are not

4:58

pointing up, so therefore its batteries

5:00

immediately started dying, and it did manage to

5:02

take some pictures of the lunar surface around

5:05

it and send them back, which shows that

5:07

it is truly a millennial

5:09

spaceship. Its battery was dying,

5:11

so the last thing it did was it

5:13

posted some pics online. Okay. Wait,

5:17

the name of it is Odysseus, which is...

5:19

So it's not going to come back? No,

5:22

it's gone. The

5:24

first person ever to famously go

5:27

and come back. It's like, who

5:29

had a completely flawless, incident-free

5:31

journey that you can name it for?

5:33

What? Is there a Minotaur

5:35

on the moon? No, no, no. Just like, toppled it over?

5:38

They might as well have called it my dad. It

5:40

turns out... It

5:44

turns out, I mean, as we now know,

5:46

it is really hard to land on the

5:48

moon successfully, so that's why the

5:50

head of NASA explained that's why we faked it

5:52

the first time. He's here. Alright,

5:58

your next... quote

6:01

is from Sports Illustrated and

6:04

it's talking about some new uniforms.

6:07

They don't leave much to the imagination.

6:09

So players in what

6:11

sport are showing off a lot

6:13

more than just their athletic skills

6:15

this spring? Baseball.

6:18

Yes, baseball! All

6:21

the players in

6:24

spring training right now are complaining that

6:26

their new uniform pants are practically transparent.

6:30

Which is a thrill for the fans to

6:32

finally see what the players have been scratching

6:34

all these years. I

6:39

mean, but let's be clear. The uniforms

6:41

before, they were so snug that you could

6:43

just, didn't leave much to the imagination anyway.

6:46

Now it's snug and you can sort of see a little bit.

6:49

Now Alzo, we can see if they were

6:51

faking. So

6:53

they're very transparent. You can see their underwear off

6:55

and their shirts tucked into their pants, through the

6:58

pants. And the players also

7:00

complain that the clothing just feels very

7:02

flimsy. Major League Baseball is really

7:04

regretting their a pile of contact with Saran

7:06

Wrap. People

7:09

are complaining, but I'm going to tune

7:11

in. Now here's the thing. Why are

7:13

you going to tune in? Why

7:16

exactly are you going to tune in? Listen,

7:19

my eyes are working great and I just want to do

7:21

some looking respectfully. Respectful

7:24

looking. But just some respectful

7:26

looking. Really, if these players

7:28

like kind of swine in these plants, they're going

7:31

to fly off like Chippendale pants. And

7:33

that's exactly what Karen is looking forward to.

7:38

Alright Harris, your last quote is

7:40

from Merriam Webster. It

7:42

is permissible in English for it

7:45

to be what you end a

7:47

sentence with. That was

7:49

Merriam Webster dictionary giving us

7:52

the okay after all these

7:54

years to go ahead and

7:56

end sentences with what? A

7:59

preposition? Yes, Harris, a preposition!

8:04

Listen. Our audience of NPR fans is

8:06

cheering and whooping, yelling, Free at last,

8:08

free at last, a dictionary

8:10

publisher and constant attention whore,

8:13

Merriam-Webster. Tear

8:16

up a little controversy this week by

8:18

stating it was okay to end a

8:20

sentence with a preposition. Really, Merriam-Webster? On

8:23

what are you guys? I'm

8:27

calling my mother right after the

8:29

show. Right! Because I would be

8:31

like, Mark, where is the remote

8:33

control at after that preposition? She

8:38

would say after that preposition. Every

8:40

time, bro. Every time. Sometimes

8:43

I feel like Merriam-Webster, like, don't they put out

8:45

like neologisms, like new words, bandages? This is no

8:47

word that's in the... I feel like they give

8:49

up because they'll be like, they'll just

8:51

be like, I don't know, I guess sleigh is a real word in

8:53

this concept. Like, so many people use it so much that they're like,

8:55

you just do whatever you want. We'll

8:58

be over here, we're trying to keep English

9:00

settled. And this feels like them just being

9:02

like, you're doing it anyway, so just keep

9:05

doing it. Well, they say that

9:07

this was a false rule, this was an attempt

9:09

by snobby people to try to make the language

9:11

be more like Latin or something, but now it's

9:13

fine. And the real question is, will they finally

9:15

release all those people serving time in federal prison

9:17

for this? I

9:20

think I might take some to court on this. I feel

9:22

like their thing is words, right? This

9:24

is outside of their jurisdiction. This is

9:26

sentences. Mary,

9:30

what's your go home? This is

9:32

above your pay grade. That's

9:34

a fair point. So who

9:36

said be in charge of sentences? I think

9:38

me, I think I should. I don't know. I

9:41

seem to be too busy ogling men's

9:43

genitals in their baseball uniform. This,

9:46

of course, is as exciting as it was for

9:49

people like Alzo and other people who like to

9:51

end their sentences with prepositions. It was a terrible

9:53

blow to those people who love to

9:55

write in to correct our grammar. And

9:58

you know if you're one of them, of those

10:00

people to who I was speaking.

10:05

Let him know, Peter. Somebody

10:08

listening to this show in their car just

10:10

drove off the road. In

10:12

anger, slammed to a tree and the

10:15

cops were like, what happened? Peter Stegelson,

10:17

who? Instead of whom? Bill,

10:21

how did Harris do in our quiz? With three

10:24

correct answers, Harris now has

10:27

the responsibility to reform Washington,

10:29

D.C. Thank

10:34

you so much for playing, Harris. Take care. Thanks,

10:37

guys. Bye-bye. Okay,

10:44

panel, time for you to answer some questions about this week's

10:46

news. Alzo, the style these

10:48

days, the aesthetic is minimalism. You know,

10:50

the clean, white, uncluttered look

10:52

that's taught by Marie Kondo and others.

10:55

Well, this week the Washington Post suggested

10:57

that in order to have a clean,

11:00

ordered home, we need to teach

11:02

this aesthetic to whom?

11:05

To your kids. Yes. Specifically,

11:07

your very small children. How

11:10

small? Really small. Like, because we're all

11:12

dealing with the fact that all our

11:14

kids... When it's like Alabama small, like,

11:16

it's like, being in a small,

11:18

like, embryo. I'm

11:24

just imagining some Alabama parent

11:26

holding Marie Kondo's book, The Joy of

11:28

Tidying Up, to a Petri dish.

11:31

Read this. You're a person. Read this. Throw

11:35

out that atom. No, it's

11:37

like, it says, if you want your house, and

11:39

any parent of small children like myself right now

11:41

knows this, if you want your house not to

11:43

be filled with all these toy detritus and plastic

11:45

stuff, you teach

11:47

your kid minimalism. After all, what

11:50

is a baby but a minimalist

11:52

child? But

11:54

also, you have a three-month-old? Yeah, I already told

11:56

him. No, none of this belonged, huh? Our

12:02

midwives told us that babies just

12:04

used to sleep in the dresser

12:06

drawer. Yeah. And I'm

12:08

like, why do we have this expensive bassinet

12:10

then? Right. Just don't get

12:13

a bassinet built by whoever put that thing on the

12:15

moon. Yeah. I

12:17

don't want to walk

12:19

in the city of

12:21

nothing now. I

12:27

want to walk in

12:29

the city of nothing now.

15:05

at wait wait NPR Hi everyone wait wait

15:08

don't tell me. Hello. Hi who's this? This

15:11

is Sammy Farrell calling

15:13

from Lafayette, Colorado. Oh I

15:15

love Colorado what do you do there

15:17

in Lafayette? Yeah I'm a corporate trainer

15:19

and a change management professional. I'm

15:21

sorry. Change management. I hadn't heard that

15:23

phrase. A

15:26

change management professional.

15:29

Yes. And it is not just to be

15:31

clear not just firing people. No.

15:34

That's where my head went. I was like oh so

15:37

I'm here to talk to you about a change. Okay

15:40

well let's go. I'm glad to

15:42

hear it Sammy. Welcome to the

15:44

show. You're gonna play our game in which you must write

15:46

a tell truth from fiction. Bill

15:48

what is Sammy's topic? Winning isn't everything.

15:51

You may think it's great to win

15:53

but even winners sometimes lose or so

15:55

I've been told that's never happened to

15:57

me. This We

16:00

heard a story about the drawbacks of winning big.

16:02

Our panelists are going to tell you about somebody

16:04

who won and lost. Pick the one who's telling

16:06

the truth. You'll win our prize, the waiter of

16:08

your choice and your voicemail. Are you ready to

16:10

go? Yes. Okay, first let's

16:13

hear from Peter Gross. Joshua

16:16

Gelman of Doylestown, Pennsylvania was thrilled when he

16:18

won $35 million in the state lottery and

16:20

even happier when he bought his parents, Ellen

16:23

and Mickey, a house close to him and

16:25

his family. He was fine at

16:27

first, his mom Ellen told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

16:30

That is until the general started keeping us

16:32

up all night. The general, she's

16:34

referring to, is General Silas T. Cornwall, the

16:36

commander in the Continental Army who died in

16:38

1775 and whose ghost haunts

16:40

the Gelman's new home. Apparently

16:43

General Cornwall never got a chance to see

16:45

any real fighting in the Revolutionary War since

16:47

he died of syphilis at the ripe old age of

16:49

41. So

16:51

he spends his nights angrily

16:53

knocking over furniture and moaning,

16:56

George Washington was overrated. I

16:59

could have won the war in half

17:01

the time. Still as

17:03

inconvenient as it is, the Gelmans say they don't need

17:05

to move. Joshi went through all

17:07

the trouble to buy us this house. We don't want

17:09

to cause any trouble. To which Joshi

17:11

replied, my parents would rather complain than

17:13

be happy. This is a nightmare. Please

17:15

kill me. How do you contract syphilis?

17:21

A lottery winner takes

17:23

his winnings, buys

17:25

a big house for his parents, but

17:28

it turns out it's haunted. Your next

17:30

story of when gone wrong comes from

17:32

Alzo Slade. In Brooklyn,

17:34

New York, intellectually sophisticated dinner

17:36

parties are all the rage. You

17:38

know the same. People passing Yogi Tea Quotes

17:40

off as their own over a

17:43

charcuterie board that looks like a Lunchable for

17:45

adults. Leading

17:47

this trend is an exclusive invite-only

17:49

dinner party called the Algonquin Rectangle.

17:52

Their membership supposedly includes the who's who

17:55

of New York intelligentsia. Ben Bogle of

17:57

Long Island was set on becoming a

17:59

member. So he strategized how to show

18:01

people that he was smart. First, he read

18:03

the front page of the New York Times

18:05

and listened to NPR so much that he

18:07

boasts of an impressive tote bag collection. Then

18:11

he practiced his vocabulary in solo Scrabble

18:14

games. You want to know what words have

18:16

a cue but no you in them? Ask

18:18

Ben Bogle. After

18:20

all this work, he finally won a seat

18:22

at the Algonquin rectangle where members just loved

18:24

him at first. Turns

18:27

out the folks at the Algonquin table were

18:29

tired of hearing, well actually, too

18:32

many times. Ben Bogle

18:34

was so obnoxious he got booted from the

18:37

rectangle. So let this be a cautionary tale

18:39

for all of you listening to NPR. You

18:41

may be Ben. The

18:45

guy wins his way to an exclusive

18:47

intellectual gathering and then annoys the hell

18:50

out of everyone by mansplaining to

18:52

them. Your last tale of someone who

18:54

flew too close to the sun comes from Karen Chi. You

18:57

ever do something fun only to

18:59

find it has consequences? Like

19:02

you're scrolling Instagram and you miss your subway stop

19:04

or drink too many milkshakes and get a stomach

19:06

ache? Or for instance, win

19:08

your town's Christmas tree throwing competition only

19:10

to then lose your $800,000 personal injury

19:13

claim? It's

19:17

true. Camilla Grabska, a woman from County

19:19

Clare in Ireland, won her town's Christmas

19:22

tree throwing competition soon after telling doctors

19:24

that she was too weak to list

19:26

a bag of groceries. For

19:29

context, Grabska was rear-ended in a

19:31

car accident in 2017 and sued her

19:33

insurance company for damages for 760,000 euros or

19:35

$800,000. Here's

19:40

some advice. If you're going for insurance

19:43

fraud, don't get an incredibly incriminating

19:45

photo of you catapulting a tree

19:47

across the field in the local newspaper.

19:51

When asked in court why she would go through

19:53

the trouble of throwing Christmas trees when she was

19:55

in such pain, Grabska replied, I was trying to

19:57

live a normal life. So

20:04

one of these people won but

20:06

lost. Was it from Peter Gross, a lottery

20:08

winner who spent some of his money on

20:10

a new house for his parents, but

20:13

his parents say the house is haunted, but

20:15

they still won't leave? From Alzo,

20:17

an aspiring intellectual who got himself an

20:19

entree into the Algonquin rectangle in Brooklyn

20:21

only to annoy the hell out of

20:24

everyone, or from Karen

20:26

Shia, a woman who lost

20:28

her massive disability claim because

20:30

she decided to enter and

20:32

win a Christmas

20:34

tree throwing competition.

20:38

Which of these is the real

20:41

story of a winner and a

20:43

loser? Well, actually, it's Karen.

20:49

So you are sort of tipping a little

20:51

hat there to Alzo, but you are in

20:53

fact choosing Karen's story. To tell

20:55

you the real story, we spoke to someone who

20:57

is familiar with an important aspect of it. So

21:00

we get a large tree and a

21:02

small tree and throw overhead like a

21:05

job. That was

21:07

Mike Dacroster. He is the service

21:09

manager at More Miles Automotive and

21:11

the organizer of what, as far

21:13

as we know, is the only

21:15

American Christmas tree toss explaining how

21:18

you go about doing that, which this

21:20

woman did as Karen said. Congratulations,

21:24

you got it right. You're

21:27

the person, you've won a

21:30

prize, the voice of your choice, and your

21:32

voicemail. Well done. Thank

21:34

you. And

21:41

now the game

21:43

we call

21:47

Not My Job. Danny

21:57

Brown grew up in Detroit and his first studio rap

21:59

album, The Little Mermaid. in 2010

22:01

helped redefine the Detroit hip-hop scene. MTV

22:03

called him one of the rap's most

22:05

unique figures so it makes sense he

22:07

moved to one of America's most unique

22:10

cities, Austin, Texas, Danny

22:12

Brown, welcome to Way to Day to

22:18

Oklahoma. So let's start with MTV. They called you one

22:21

of the most unique rappers in hip-hop. Do you know

22:23

what they meant? I have no

22:25

idea what they meant, but I guess because I

22:27

looked a little different than the average rapper. So

22:29

like your hair's dyed, you got some... I mean

22:31

yeah, but I had wilder hair back then and

22:33

I had a missing tooth and kisses

22:36

a little, a little grimy. Yeah.

22:38

A little grimy back then. You

22:40

do something that I don't think a lot of people

22:42

in your field do is that you use different voices

22:44

when you rap, right? Yeah, I try to use different

22:47

voices. Just whatever emotion I'm feeling or the emotion of

22:49

the song, I try to let that come back to

22:51

the voice. Do you have like names for your voices

22:53

that you use? Like these are verses

22:55

that this guy's going to do? Yeah.

22:58

Yeah. Do

23:00

you know any of those names off

23:02

hand? One is just called Adderall. Where

23:04

did you get that name in the last

23:06

night? That's fascinating.

23:10

So we were reading about you. You grew up

23:12

in Detroit and you said that

23:14

you were like, you were rhyming almost as soon as

23:16

you could talk, right? You're right. Yeah. My

23:18

mom used to read Dr. Seuss books to me all

23:21

the time. So she said when I first started talking,

23:23

I just talked to him, Ryan. Really? Yeah. He was,

23:25

he was killing them on the playground, green eggs and

23:27

ham. You

23:32

remember any of those rhymes that you were doing? I

23:35

mean, it sounds like it's 80.

23:37

So it was, you know, it was all

23:39

my name is D I'm in a place

23:41

to be real close to the third and

23:43

lowest rhymes back then. You also run, you

23:45

won a lot of rap battles in, in

23:47

high school, right? Yeah. Yeah. I lost a

23:49

lot too. Did you really? Yeah. I mean,

23:51

I'm the professional rapper now. So I guess

23:53

I want it. Yeah. I guess so. Let

23:55

him know.

24:00

What kind of contract does that guy have? Is

24:02

there like a secret weapon to winning rap battles?

24:04

Because I couldn't on a bet. I

24:08

mean, it was always like I was kind of

24:10

quiet in school, to be honest. So it would

24:12

always just be like I would instantly become popular

24:14

after I rapped kind of thing. Really? So yeah,

24:17

so every time some kid would rap, I'd go,

24:19

oh, it's my time to shine. That

24:23

was the Adderall voice right there. That was it.

24:27

So you had this huge album about

24:29

10 years ago when

24:31

you were about 30 called XXX or 30, right? And

24:34

you have a new album when

24:36

you're about 40 called Quaranta Italian. Quaranta.

24:39

Quaranta. Excuse me. You got a row

24:41

to R. Quaranta. Quaranta. See, he's battling

24:43

you already. So

24:49

your album 30 when you were 30 and Italian for 40 when

24:52

you're 40, has Adele ever called to say you're

24:54

stealing my bit? No, I actually met Adele once.

24:57

Yeah, at Wembley Stadium. Yeah,

24:59

she was really nice. I think I made a crude joke

25:02

and she got up out of there after that. But really?

25:04

She was pretty cool. She was nice. And

25:07

it was when you all first met. Yeah,

25:09

like first thing. I didn't know

25:11

it was Adele though. I

25:18

came because I was actually opening for M&M and

25:20

she just was there to see M&M obviously. And

25:22

she, you know, I just had the empty dressing room that

25:24

she can hang at. And she just chill. I just thought

25:26

it was such a cool white lady back there. So

25:31

had you had you known it was Adele, you wouldn't have

25:33

made it. No, I don't know my best behavior. I

25:37

have not met her in person, but her voice

25:39

is like very soaring and kind of pretty. I

25:41

don't know when she talks. She talks like a

25:43

chimney sweep. But that is true. It's a very

25:45

big difference. But what I love is you're in

25:47

this, as you say, you're in this dressing room and you

25:49

say to yourself, oh, there's this white lady here. I don't

25:51

know who she is. So

25:53

I will say something incredibly filthy. Yeah.

25:57

I was drinking a lot back then. Yeah. i'll

26:00

blame alcohol yeah alcohol and then one

26:02

of the other boy yeah that

26:05

are all there's alcohol being

26:07

which if you don't know about your struggles

26:10

with addiction and substances and drink and stuff you

26:12

can find out about it because uh... corona quaranta

26:14

let me get that right it

26:16

has a lot of verses about your struggles

26:19

and some regrets i mean it's like a

26:21

it's a forgive me it's like an older

26:23

guy's ramp out right yeah midlife crisis uh

28:42

the music business as

28:44

a singer-songwriter He only sold a

28:46

a call at 1-888-828-9248924. Right now, panel, some

33:33

more questions for you from the week's news. Karen,

33:35

the path to home ownership gets harder

33:37

every day, which is why the

33:39

New York Times recommends that young people should buy their

33:41

first home from whom? From

33:44

their parents? Yes, from their parents. That's

33:46

the idea. More and more people are

33:48

buying their childhood homes from their parents.

33:51

It makes sense. It comes pre-haunted with

33:53

memories of your childhood trauma. Where

33:55

are the parents supposed to live? Well, the parents continue to

33:58

live there. See, here's the thing. It

34:00

sounds horrible. Terrible idea. Go on.

34:03

Yeah. So the idea is, first of all, you

34:05

get a good price. They're not going to gouge

34:07

you, right? The equity stays in the family. Your

34:09

parents still have a place to live. And

34:12

it's great because if your mom asks you again when

34:14

you're going to get married, you can say, mom, go

34:16

to your room. My

34:19

house, my rules. Right? So you

34:21

have deaf parents who own a house. You do. You

34:23

have deaf parents that own a house. You have deaf

34:25

parents who own a house who you're okay living with.

34:27

Right. Yes. You're going

34:30

to not gouge you. This applies to like

34:32

six people. Yeah. And

34:34

all those people, I bet, have enough money to buy their

34:36

own house. Yeah. London's going to move

34:38

back with my parents and live for free. Yeah. That's

34:41

true. Why do you have to buy a pay for

34:43

it? I have to buy the house to live with my parents. Yes.

34:47

The other plan is just wait for them to

34:49

die. Get it for free. You move into the

34:51

house and then you place toys on the stairs.

34:53

You know what would be... Only

34:56

you know where the toys are. I think

34:58

of the thrill though of moving into your own parents' bedroom.

35:03

And your mom's like, why aren't you having kids? You're

35:05

like, I cannot perform in

35:07

this room. Yeah. The activity

35:10

that would allow me to have kids. Especially because you're still

35:12

standing in here and asking me questions. Peter.

35:16

Yes. Peter, a

35:19

small town in West Virginia attracted

35:21

hundreds to a candlelight vigil this

35:23

week as all the people

35:25

assembled to mark the tragic loss of

35:28

the last one in that state. Democrat.

35:31

No. The

35:33

last... was it like

35:35

an animal? No,

35:38

it was not an animal. Not a natural thing?

35:40

No, not a natural thing. Like a movie store,

35:42

like a video rental store? It

35:46

was a business, but not that. Let's

35:48

see. Can I have a hint?

35:50

Apparently they lost all their business

35:52

when that Buffalo Wild Boobs opened

35:54

in the next town over. The

35:58

last Hooters? The last Hooters? in

36:00

West Virginia has closed. I

36:05

don't understand why I wasn't told about this

36:07

sooner. Well,

36:09

Peter, we didn't know if you were ready to

36:11

handle it, frankly. I'm not. I'm going to freak

36:13

out now in front of all these people. I

36:15

know. No, it is with heavy

36:17

check that we report to you all. That

36:21

the last remaining Hooters restaurant in West Virginia not

36:23

only had been closed, but the building was demolished.

36:27

West Virginians who want food served by

36:29

scantily clad young women will now have

36:31

to travel out of state or just

36:33

go to that one fluffy Wendy's.

36:39

Wait, so there were men

36:41

and women at this fit? Apparently, yes. Apparently, there

36:43

were men and women, but the

36:45

saddest thing was the men, especially the ones

36:47

who were all standing around saying, yeah, Becky

36:49

said she was going to call me. She

36:53

really liked me. I

36:55

asked her for something and she brought it. I'm

36:59

going to ask her to marry me. Wait,

37:01

so how does the Hooters not survive

37:03

anywhere? I don't understand. Yeah, and

37:05

Hooters can't survive in West Virginia. They're

37:07

struggling. Are

37:10

we as a species not interested in buffalo

37:13

wings anymore? But

37:27

first, it's a game where you have to listen for the

37:29

rhyme. If you'd like to play on air, call and leave

38:24

missing from each you can fill in that last word afraid

38:26

correctly into the limit will be a big winner ready to

38:28

play so ready okay here

38:31

is your first on

38:33

dried cherries and apples i'm crazy

38:36

they taste to me and sweet and and

38:40

i know for the growth but

38:42

these wrinkled ones though where

38:46

do you harvest a mason

38:48

reason that's right according to

38:50

london nearly never modern-day

38:53

society is full of adults

38:56

who have no idea where reagan uh...

39:01

other than of course their natural assumptions

39:03

mommy and daddy reason the

39:06

mirror site twitter as evidence featuring

39:08

lots of tweets confessing to the

39:10

grant like this one bill am

39:13

i the only dumb bitch that to

39:20

read his own tweets on the internet i

39:25

personally found this fascinating news but

39:27

what was i eating at

39:29

the pick your own reason for here

39:34

is your next limit food inflation

39:36

makes kellon's a winner we are

39:39

more than a good day beginner

39:41

grab a bowl not a plate

39:44

business meal is we

39:47

will eat frosted flakes for our

39:51

dinner yeah kailing

39:57

open This

40:00

is true with Tony the Tiger where

40:02

this mom tells a chicken to take the

40:05

night off and the chicken is devastated that

40:07

it will not be eaten. Eating

40:12

cereal for dinner? That's their

40:14

new thing. That's not new. Well, it's

40:17

not a new version. If you've been broke

40:19

before... Well, that's the thing. Meaning,

40:23

you know, what that indicates eating cereal

40:25

for dinner depends a lot on

40:27

who's doing it and what's the cereal, right? So if

40:29

you serve kids Rice Krispies for dinner

40:31

and says, hey, we're doing something a little

40:33

different tonight. If you serve them cookie crisp

40:35

for dinner that says, isn't it fun to

40:37

stay at dad's house? It

40:41

builds character. It does. But

40:44

if Kellogg's really wants us to eat cereal

40:46

for dinner, they should make cereal for

40:49

dinner like, mmm, Frosted Mini Meats.

40:54

That's hamburger helper. All

41:00

right. Here, Kelsey,

41:02

here, Kelsey, is your last number. Though

41:05

it doesn't go fast or real far,

41:08

in tight spaces this thing is a

41:10

star. Its major appeal,

41:13

it can tuck in its wheels. It's

41:16

a really small foldable... Car.

41:19

Car, yes. The electric car company

41:21

City Transformer has unveiled a new

41:23

foldable automobile. They say it'll make

41:25

parking in tight spaces a breeze.

41:27

Just remember to remove kids and

41:29

pets before you fold up the

41:32

car. How small is it, Ken? It's

41:34

a small car to begin with. And you

41:36

kind of fold the wheels in to make it even smaller,

41:39

right? But then do you like walk away with it like

41:41

George Jetson or do you just leave it there? I

41:44

think you like prop it up against something like

41:46

a large skateboard. I'm not quite sure. I don't

41:48

think this foldable car thing will take off. It's

41:50

like when people, when those kind of...

41:53

Sorry if some of you all are in the

41:55

audience, but folks that fold up their little scooters

41:57

and carry them everywhere. that's

42:00

corny. It's

42:03

gonna be even more corny when

42:05

you're in line at Starbucks with

42:07

your card hanging off your shoulder.

42:09

I fold up my bicycle and carry it everywhere. And

42:12

you are very cruel. Thank you. Karen

42:21

lingered on that seat for quite

42:23

a while. You are very cruel.

42:26

Yeah. Well,

42:28

Bill, how did Kelsey do?

42:30

She's very good. She was!

42:32

Congratulations, Kelsey! Yay!

42:34

42:37

neighbors caught him trying to sneak a stolen

blank into his third floor apartment. Uh,

44:57

uh, squirrel. No, a stolen.

45:03

No, a stolen horse. Come

45:08

on. Obviously, if

45:10

you are trying to hide a stolen horse in

45:12

your third floor apartment, your neighbors are going to

45:14

find out. I mean, it

45:16

was bad enough already, but why did

45:18

the guy make the horse wear high heels?

45:23

Bill, how did Alzo do in our quiz? Four right.

45:25

Four points, total of ten for the lead.

filled with ice. A

46:47

says, like a McFlurry, an ice cream,

46:50

and she was given instead a large

46:52

cup of iced cream.

46:54

And if that weren't bad enough, while

46:56

47:00

I'm Big Mac, where are we going? Bill,

47:05

how did Peter do in our quiz? Six
