Full Episode
This is Ira Glass. In Lily's family, there's a story everybody knows by heart.
If this story had never happened... All of us wouldn't be here right now. Sammy wouldn't be here. Nana wouldn't be here. Wally wouldn't be here. Anyone that we know wouldn't be here.
So what happens when Lily's mom tells her this story is not true? This American Life, surprising stories every week.
From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I'm Bill Curtis, except no substitute. But by all means, except Peter Sagal's substitute, here at the Studebaker Theatre at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, it's Karen Chee.
Thank you, Bill. That's right, I'm Karen Chee, filling in for Peter Sagal. He's at home recovering from a fight with another NPR host right now. I don't want to name any names, but let's just say Steve Inskeep is a biter. You're all in for a treat because later we're talking to Oscar-nominated actor Brian Tyree Henry. You probably know him from Atlanta or his new show, Dope Thief.
Or, as I know him, as the voice of the absolutely jacked Smokey the Bear. But first, it's your turn to call in to play our games. The number is 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.
Hey, Karen. This is Kevin Stroud. I live in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Oh, Kevin. Hi. Welcome.
Thank you. Thank you.
