But despite the loss of federal funding for public media, despite attacks on the free press, we are still here for you.

And we will be next year.

With your support, NPR will keep reporting the news.

And here at Wait, Wait, we will try to, you know, lighten the load at the end of the week with some jokes about the news and some fun conversations with interesting people.

And yes, the occasional fart joke.

If you are already an NPR Plus supporter, thank you so much.

We see you and we are so grateful for you.

If not, please join the community of public radio supporters right now, before the end of the year, at plus.npr.org.

Signing up unlocks a bunch of perks like bonus episodes and more from across NPR's podcasts.

Plus, you get to feel good about supporting public media while you listen.

Visit plus.npr.org today.

And thanks.

From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz.

I'm the gift you get for the person who has everything.

Alzo Slade.

And here's your host at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal.

Thank you, Alzo, and thank you, everybody.

Thank you so much for being with us.

Well, everybody, we made it.

We made it through 2025, a year that began with terrible apprehension about the future and has ended the exact same way.
