From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I'm the old acquaintance that won't ever be forgot. Bill Curtis. And here's your host at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal. Thank you, Bill. Thanks, everybody. Thank you.

It is not the thing that I wanted to cook and have my first moment dunking the gooey duck in hot water to then remove the... Boar skin? Yes, yes, I'll let you say that.
And to slide it off, and that was my first moment, but it was the quickest thing that you could cook in 30 minutes. Wait, so you moiled a... Wow!
