What significant change has occurred in NPR's funding this year?
This year, for the first time in NPR's history, public media is operating without federal funding. That means NPR needs your support now more than ever. I'm Brittany Luce from It's Been a Minute. Please do your part to keep independent, reliable news coverage strong and support the podcasts that get you through the day by making a gift for public media giving days. Head over to donate.npr.org.
From NPR and 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.
Ha!
I'm Alzo Slade, and here's your host at the Studebaker Theater at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sago.
Thank you, Alzo. Thanks, everyone. Thanks to all of you. Great to see you. 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 1-888-924-8924. Let's welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
Hi. Hi, who's this? This is Jennifer. I live in Tampa, Florida. I am an ELCA Lutheran pastor. Yeah, so...
I think, and I'm not sure about this, but the one person who was excited about Tampa was also the same person excited about you being a Lutheran.
What unique experiences does Phil Pritchard share about the Stanley Cup?
So maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe they're just really happy today. We don't know. Yes. Well, Jennifer, welcome to the show. Let me introduce you to our panel this week. First, a comedian who'll be appearing at the White Rabbit Cabaret in Indianapolis, Indiana on Thursday, April 23rd. It's Adam Burke. Hi. Nice to meet you, Jennifer. Hi. Hi.
Hi.
Next up, you can see here April 23rd through the 26th at Rooster T. Feathers in San Jose, California, and May 8th at the Hollywood Improv with the Netflix is a Joke Festival. It's Dulce Sloan.
Hello.
Hello. It's me. Amen. And a comedian you can see at Soboba Casino in San Jacinto, California, April 24th, and the Comedy Cellar in Las Vegas, April 27th through May 3rd. It's Alonzo Bowden.
Woo!
Hello. 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? Okay.
How did the panelists express their thoughts on a beef with the Pope?
Here is your first quote, Jennifer. It's from the president attacking a new rival this week. He's very weak on crime. Apparently, President Trump was upset about the high crime rate In Vatican City? As he took on who this week? Pope Leo. 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 gotta say, if President Trump thinks the Pope is weak on crime, wait till he finds out about the Buddha.
If you wanted any proof that Donald Trump knows nothing about history, he's starting to beef with an Italian guy from Chicago. Exactly. Exactly. That never ends well. No, it doesn't.
And Italian guys from Chicago love beef.
It's true. It's true. And thinking about it, though, but actually, we thought about it. It'd be cool if the Pope did fight crime, right? It'd be exciting. Like, coming to Netflix this summer, only murders in the conclave.
Well, they've already had murders in the conflict.
That's true, yeah. That's how we kept getting new popes. Does Trump think he's weak on crime?
What humorous anecdotes arise from the discussion about misdiagnoses?
Because last time I was in the Vatican, there was a bunch of guys nailed to wooden bars everywhere, hoping to do anything about it. So he starts this beef with the pope, and then he decides to, like, just, you know, throw some fuel in the fire.
