Speaker 2 Che Reinfest Smith and even though I'm a doctor I still can't cure my rhymes disease and here's your host at the Studebaker Theater in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago Illinois Peter Sagal

Speaker 3 thank you so much we have a great show for you today Later on we're going to be joined by actor and model and internet influencer Julia Fox. But first, we are so glad to have Reinfest back with us.

Speaker 3 Now,

Speaker 3 RhineFest, after the last time you joined us, we got a lot of emails praising us, of course, for having the wisdom to have you, but also regarding your pronunciation of the word Illinois. Yes.

Speaker 3 Which I just said in the traditional fashion. Yes.
You, of course, are a lifelong Chicagoan, so we would like to give you an opportunity to respond to all those people.

Speaker 2 Well, look, brother, I'm hip-hop. You guys invited a rapper on, so I'm always going to bring the Illinois from Illinois.
I just think people didn't get that.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 3 Well, we are eager to find out how you pronounce where you are from, so give us a call. The number is 188-WAITWAIT.
That's 1-888-924-8924. Let's welcome our first listener contestant.

Speaker 3 How you're on weight, weight, don't tell me.

Speaker 3 Hi, g'day, Pete.

Speaker 4 My name's Greg. I was born and bred in Brisbane, Australia, but I now call Northfield, Vermont, home, primarily because of my beautiful 11-year-old daughter, Margot.
So a shout out to Margot, please.

Speaker 2 Wow. Okay.

Speaker 3 How does an Australian from Brisbane end up in Northfield, Vermont?

Speaker 2 Very simple word, a woman. Oh, yes.

Speaker 3 Oh, it's happened to so many of us. Well, yes, exactly.
Greg, welcome to our show. Let me introduce you to our panel this week.

Speaker 3 First up, he's the comedian whose new special, Un-American, will be available on Amazon and Apple on November 25th. It's Adam Burke.

Speaker 2 Hello, good day.

Speaker 2 Hey guys, Mike.

Speaker 3 Next, he's the comedian you can see at the Punchline Comedy Club in Atlanta, November 7th through the 9th, and at the Arlington Draft House in Arlington, Virginia, November 28th and the 29th.

Speaker 3 It's Alonzo Bowden.

Speaker 6 Hello, Greg. How you doing? Good day, I'm all good.

Speaker 3 And he's a comedian who will be performing at the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis on November 23rd and at the Crocodile in Seattle on December 28th. It's Josh Gondelman.

Speaker 3 Today.

Speaker 3 Welcome to the show, Greg. You are going to play Who's Rhyme Fest this Time? Rhyme Fest, filling in for Bill Curtis, is going to read you three quotations from this week's news.

Speaker 3 If you can correctly identify or explain two of them, you will win our prize. Any voice from our show you might choose for your voicemail.
Are you ready to play? I'm ready to play. Then let's do it.

Speaker 2 Here's your first quote: My son loves Halloween, the pumpkins, the ghosts, but this house had dismembered bodies.

Speaker 3 That was one of many people this year who are complaining that Halloween decorations have become too what?

Speaker 3 Too scary. Too scary indeed.
Yes, that's right.

Speaker 3 More and more people are saying Halloween decorations are too scary, according to the New York Times, the official newspaper of cowards.

Speaker 3 Everything keeps escalating year after year. You used to be able to get by with like one giant skeleton.
Now you find yourself saying, honey, we can get pig organs on Amazon.

Speaker 6 How do you scare kids now?

Speaker 2 Yeah. You know what I mean? Like, so what?

Speaker 6 Like, kids are so sophisticated with digital media and everything. You think they're really going to be scared? Because, oh, yeah, there's some pig organs.
Oh, I know where to get those on sale.

Speaker 2 You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 The only way you can scare a kid is a giant picture of like an iPhone battery on zero.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 My neighborhood, it's all over the place. There's some really like realistic kind of decrepit bodies.
There's one house that has a dinosaur skeleton. And it's like, that's not scary to me.

Speaker 7 I only know dinosaurs as skeletons. Right.
I've been my whole life. But then I live in New York City and down the block from me one extremely scary house Cuomo for mayor sign

Speaker 7 that's been yeah that's really been creeping me out

Speaker 5 I noticed this first in Chicago like 10 years ago in my neighborhood in Logan Square I was walking down the street and someone in their front garden had like a full-size clown right clown

Speaker 5 but the clown was in an electric chair And with like the full cap and the clown's guts had exploded all over the front lawn. And I was like, this is amazing.

Speaker 5 This person doesn't know how clowns, electric chairs, or guts work.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 3 At the same time, I mean, you do point out something weird.

Speaker 3 It's like you live in a neighborhood, you get to know your neighbors, they seem nice, and then, like, at Halloween time, you get a glimpse into the darkest recesses of their mind.

Speaker 7 If they're going to do that,

Speaker 7 if they're going to go that full out with their subconscious, putting it on display for Halloween on Valentine's Day, you should get to watch them make love.

Speaker 2 That's true.

Speaker 2 All right, here is your next quote: Make sure the clock change doesn't end in divorce.

Speaker 3 That was a writer for Vice talking about evidence that the end of what this weekend is actually really bad for the health of your relationship.

Speaker 3 Give me a hint, please.

Speaker 3 Well, to put it in language you might understand,

Speaker 3 your good day will end a little sooner.

Speaker 2 Shorter days, yes, daylight savings.

Speaker 3 Daylight savings, that's it.

Speaker 3 Psychologists, believe it or not, say that the stress of a suddenly changed schedule, the lost sleep, and seasonal affective disorder can lead many couples to break up with the end of daylight saving.

Speaker 3 The trick to maintaining a healthy relationship, though, with daylight saving is cheating on your partner right before you turn the clocks back, right?

Speaker 3 So you sneak out at 2 a.m., you come back at 3, bang, it's 2 a.m. again, you never left.

Speaker 5 Do most of these arguments take the form of, hey, honey, you've got to turn the clock back?

Speaker 2 And they're like, I wish I could turn the clock back.

Speaker 2 You're in full share. If I could turn back time.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we're not leaping forward here, honey.

Speaker 2 I feel we're falling back.

Speaker 7 I would like to spring ahead into my next relationship.

Speaker 6 Isn't it just a simple thing of, oh man, this is another hour we're home together.

Speaker 2 That's a problem.

Speaker 6 Now you've got another hour. You got to fight over what you're going to stream, what you're going to watch, what you're going to eat.

Speaker 6 It's better. People like being out and away from the relationship.
It's that time together that ruins it.

Speaker 2 Why is this still running, though?

Speaker 5 Why is daylight still? I thought the government was shut down.

Speaker 3 So, your theory is because the government, the federal government, is shut down. The guy who's

Speaker 3 in charge of the big clock. So, you're telling me that, like, the guy who presses the button at 2 a.m.
on Sunday morning

Speaker 3 that sets the clocks back, he's not working, therefore it's not going to happen. That's Mike Johnson,

Speaker 6 no, no, he's working, he's just not getting paid.

Speaker 3 I would say, I would say, actually, the current federal government is trying to turn the clocks back far more than an hour.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 3 Greg, your last quote is from the Washington Post.

Speaker 2 Is the dog acting strange? Is the cat destroying things more enthusiastically than usual?

Speaker 3 That's from an article about new evidence that our pets seem unhappy because it turns out they're all what?

Speaker 2 Depressed?

Speaker 3 Well, all right, I'll give you a hint. They don't even have thumbs to twiddle?

Speaker 9 Oh, they can't use media and TV and stuff.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, I'm going to to give it to you. They're bored.
Our pets are bored. Now you always knew your dog could get bored.
Sure.

Speaker 3 I mean, would he be sniffing his butt if he had anything more interesting to do?

Speaker 3 But pet behavior experts say pet boredom can lead to behavioral issues like tearing up toys and furniture. But the dogs say, I'm not bored.
I'm living my best life tearing up these toys and furniture.

Speaker 3 But they say boredom can affect all the pets, cats, even fish and birds.

Speaker 7 That's a tough lesson to see a bored fish because you're like, wow, you think they have it all. They live in a castle and still they're as depressed as the rest of us.

Speaker 3 And I don't know how a goldfish can be bored anyway because apparently they only remember things for four seconds. So it's like, where am I?

Speaker 2 Oh.

Speaker 2 Where am I? Oh.

Speaker 6 I wonder how you can tell a bored fish from an excited fish.

Speaker 3 That's also true.

Speaker 6 And if the fish are bored, introduce them to the cat.

Speaker 2 That's true.

Speaker 2 That's an exciting activity for both of them.

Speaker 5 The excited fish are the ones with their mouths open.

Speaker 5 Can I say something slightly off topic about dogs? You may.

Speaker 5 Prince Andrew just lost all his titles. Yeah.
And now he's called Mr. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.
Yes. And doesn't that sound like the name of a particularly recalcitrant cocker spaniel?

Speaker 8 For the last time, Mr.

Speaker 2 Anthony Mountbatten Windsor.

Speaker 3 Anyway, so in case you're concerned about this, we are told that we need to help stimulate our pets by making their daily lives more interesting. One technique, engage your dog's mind, right?

Speaker 3 Don't ask, who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Ask, what does it mean to be a good boy in today's fragmented society?

Speaker 7 What's a six-letter word for good boy?

Speaker 5 I like all these philosophical pets like Emmanuel Katz.

Speaker 2 Get out. I don't get out, dairy dog.

Speaker 3 RhymeFest, how did Greg do in our quiz?

Speaker 2 Greg, got them all right.

Speaker 3 There you go, Greg. Congratulations.

Speaker 4 Thank you so much. It's been an honor to be on the show.

Speaker 3 Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 Bye-bye. Thank you.
Have a great day. You do.

Speaker 3 Right now, panel, that it's time for you guys to answer some questions about this week's news. Alonzo, IKEA made headlines this week when they unveiled their newest product.

Speaker 3 It is a bed custom designed for your what?

Speaker 6 Can you give me a case?

Speaker 3 It does come in a very small box.

Speaker 6 For your toy?

Speaker 2 No,

Speaker 3 no, not exactly. I'll give you a hint.
It's like, well, you make sure when you tuck it into its new bed, you cover it up and you put it into airplane mode.

Speaker 2 Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 For your phone? Yes, a bed for your phone.

Speaker 3 It's a tiny, smartphone-sized bed complete with a tiny assemble-it-yourself bed frame plus a little mattress and blanket.

Speaker 3 It's the only IKEA instruction booklet where the cartoon people in it are yelling at you for buying this thing.

Speaker 3 And of course, they don't have any language, they're just looking at you like, wow.

Speaker 3 The phone bed is meant to promote your own rest by giving your phone its own designated place out of your arm's reach.

Speaker 3 But now, instead of waking up in the middle of the night and being distracted by your phone, you might wake up in the middle of the night to find your phone still awake, looking at an even smaller thing.

Speaker 5 I mean, we all knew it was going to happen, but it's nice to be present at the moment when the guy at Ikea finally lost his mind.

Speaker 2 Totally. Yeah.

Speaker 5 He's just surrounded by Allen wrenches and little dongles, and he's like, I can't take it anymore.

Speaker 2 iPhone bed, screw it.

Speaker 2 I don't know, tomato coffin, is that something?

Speaker 2 Good night, my darling. I have to say goodnight.

Speaker 2 I'll hold you in my dreams until the morning light.

Speaker 2 From NPR and WBZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I am Dr.
Che Ryan Fest Smith, and we're playing this week with Josh Gottelman, Adam Burke, and Alonzo Bode.

Speaker 2 And here again is your host at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago, Illinois,

Speaker 2 Peter Sagu.

Speaker 3 Thank you, Ron Fest.

Speaker 3 Right now, it's time for the Wait, Wait, Don't Tell me bluff the listener game call 188 WaitWait to join us on the air. Hi, you are on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

Speaker 9 Hi, Peter. This is Haley.
I'm calling from Newport Beach, California.

Speaker 3 Newport Beach is a beautiful place. What do you do there?

Speaker 9 I'm actually currently planning my dog's Cincinnera.

Speaker 3 I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 Now, I'm with her.

Speaker 3 Your dog's quinceinera.

Speaker 9 Yes, she's turning 15 next month, so we're having a big party for her. That's awesome.

Speaker 3 Well, welcome to the show, Haley. You're going to play our game in which you must try to tell truth from fiction.
Rhyme Fest, what is Haley's topic?

Speaker 2 It's one small step for man, then another small step. Then another small step.

Speaker 3 Taking a walk. That classic pastime hasn't changed since one of our distant ancestors said, hey, I bet I can do this with two feet instead of all four.

Speaker 3 Well, this week we heard about an innovation finally in the world of walking. Pick the one who's telling the truth and you'll win our prize, the weight waiter of your choice and your voicemail.

Speaker 3 Are you ready to play?

Speaker 2 Yes, I am.

Speaker 3 All right, first let's hear from Alonzo Bowden.

Speaker 6 Walking the golf course without playing golf is now a thing, and the golfers aren't happy about it.

Speaker 6 Golf course owners have jumped at the new income with industry analyst Julian Lewis saying it's great for golf courses because they don't normally attract young people and everyone already there well let's just say they're pretty close to the 18th hole of life

Speaker 6 everyone is happy except the golfers they're fighting back by hitting balls at the walkers walkers are kicking and throwing the balls in revenge it's like pickleballers versus tennis players but this ball is much harder But this all-out war has only made the practice more popular.

Speaker 6 Walkers are now flocking flocking to the golf course for the high-stakes dodgeball game, and golfers are loving their new moving targets.

Speaker 6 It's grown-ups acting like little kids if the little kids were five bloody Marys deep.

Speaker 3 Golf courses hosting

Speaker 3 wars between the old golfing members and the new walking members. Your next story of somebody's step getting a step up comes from Adam Burke.

Speaker 5 Known for such iconic kicks as the Air Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 2, and a bunch of others that have made more money than the actual Kingdom of Jordan, the Boffins at Nike have finally addressed the worst part about moving your feet, moving your feet.

Speaker 5 Which is why the company is proud to announce Project Amplify, which, while it sounds like an industrial-grade hairspray from the 80s, is, according to Nike, the world's first powered footwear system for running and walking.

Speaker 5 Described as an electric bike for the foot, and let's face it, is there any invention more universally beloved than the electric bike

Speaker 5 this totally not insane device features a motor a drive belt and cuff battery while the project is currently in development Nike has officially changed its slogan to grandma just let the shoe do it

Speaker 3 Nike creates the first power assisted shoe The electric bike for your foot, your last story of an ambulation renovation comes from Josh Gondelman.

Speaker 7 Move over Fitbit because now there's the Fitbut.

Speaker 7 The Fitbutt is a pair of underpants that encourages physical movement by creating escalating discomfort if the wearer stays still for too long.

Speaker 7 First, the temperature of the garment rises to an unpleasant level. Next, the device administers a series of unpleasant but usually non-lethal electric shocks.

Speaker 7 And if the wearer still hasn't hit their exercise goal, the Fitbut enters wedgie mode, which is a nearly 100% success rate in inspiring activity.

Speaker 7 The only only exceptions to the efficacy of the device are when people are too into its punishments.

Speaker 7 For anyone who doesn't think the Fitbutt is intense enough, Activitron Enterprises plans to release an even more intense wearable, the Adam's Apple Watch.

Speaker 7 It's a device that literally chokes you unconscious if you don't complete your scheduled workout.

Speaker 2 All right.

Speaker 3 One of these

Speaker 3 is a

Speaker 3 real innovation in walking we saw in the week's news.

Speaker 3 Was it from Alonzo Bowden that golf clubs are welcoming walk-only members who have engaged in a somewhat pleasurable war with the traditional golfers?

Speaker 3 From Adam Burke, Nike inventing the first power assist shoe to make you walk a little quicker?

Speaker 3 Or from Josh Gombloman underwear that will incentivize you to get up and get moving in increasingly unpleasant ways. Which of these is the real innovation we found in the news?

Speaker 9 Nike Nike would try to invent something new because they own

Speaker 9 everything else. So I'm going to choose Nike.

Speaker 3 All right, you're going to choose Nike because there's basically nothing you would put past them.

Speaker 2 I understand.

Speaker 3 Well, to bring you the correct answer, we spoke to someone who has actually experienced this new frontier in walking.

Speaker 11 You strap it to your lower leg and an arm actually lifts the back of your foot up off the ground.

Speaker 3 That was Jeff Dengate, the runner-in-chief at Runner's World, who got to test out this new shoe from, of course, Nike. Congratulations, Haley.

Speaker 3 You got it right.

Speaker 3 You've earned a point for Adam. We've won our prize, the voice of your choice in your voicemail.
Congratulations.

Speaker 9 Thank you so much.

Speaker 3 Thank you so much for playing with us today and take care.

Speaker 4 Bye-bye.

Speaker 4 Walk away. Why don't you walk away?

Speaker 4 Walk away.

Speaker 3 Go on and walk away. And now the game we call Not My Job, where we ask people who've done everything to do something else.

Speaker 3 Julia Fox became nationally famous in 2019 when she starred in the movie Uncut Gems.

Speaker 3 But in New York, she was already well known as a model, a fashion designer, a club owner, an artist, and generally the coolest person in New York. So much so that Charlie XCX, so much, well, hang on.

Speaker 3 So much so that Charlie XCX boasted on her latest record I'm so Julia she joins us now Julia Fox welcome to wait wait don't tell me

Speaker 2 thank you

Speaker 3 we should start here like I said in her hit song 360 Charlie XCX says I'm so Julia so I will go to the source what is it to be so Julia so I've thought about this a lot and I think it's really just about being that girl and being confident and being a little bit cringe

Speaker 3 not afraid to make mistakes honest I you haven't I mean I have to say speaking of cringing I watched the video for the song 360 by Charlie XEX which you are in there you are but what was annoying me is when she says the lyric or she sings the lyric I'm so Julia it's not you who appears at that moment it's Chloe Sevenyee and I don't think that's fair but you know what it's because we're all a little bit Julia and I think that's the message of the song.

Speaker 3 I think you handled that beautifully.

Speaker 2 That's what I think.

Speaker 7 Peter, I think you're not taking in the compliment that that means you're a little bit Julia.

Speaker 2 I wish.

Speaker 3 Like a lot of people, I first became aware of you from your amazing performance in the movie Uncut Gems by the Safkey Brothers with Adam Sandler.

Speaker 3 And I was amazed to discover that that was your first major motion picture. Yeah.
And but then I heard that you have said that you learned to act working as a dominatrix earlier in your career.

Speaker 3 And just maybe both for my edification and to save people who are listening a lot of money on acting school,

Speaker 3 how did that work?

Speaker 11 So, you know, I will say that my whole life, everyone always told me, you should be an actress. You're so dramatic.
You're a thespian. You're, you know, all these things.

Speaker 11 And I just never really had the self-esteem to imagine something like that for myself.

Speaker 11 and um so i always say acting chose me because i really would have never in a million years had the balls to pursue it um you know and and so yeah when when the opportunity oh and then back to the dominatrix oh yeah that yeah um yeah of course about that i went on craigslist and now i don't think they have it anymore but there was a section called i think adult gigs yeah and it was all just like prostitution ads and i wasn't there yet i was like no i can't do that like that's too much but I found an ad and it said like no nudity no this and you can make up to a thousand dollars a day so obviously my my curiosity was piqued and I went in for an interview and the rest is history and I mean you know working there

Speaker 11 it really was a crash course in acting because it is so psychological like you really have to like read the room and kind of know what your client wants without them even really telling because a lot of the time they don't even really know you know it's it's men men.

Speaker 11 Like, it's like they don't tell you.

Speaker 2 You have to, like, go through the mental gymnastics.

Speaker 11 I'm like, oh my God, like, what could his fetish be? Okay, he's looking at my feet. Okay, he's like mentioned his mother a few times.
Great.

Speaker 2 Like, let's do it, you know. I'm sorry.

Speaker 3 I mean, I know we men are famously withholding and refuse to communicate, but the idea that they won't tell the dominatrix what they want is amazing.

Speaker 7 Look, I don't, I'm not an expert, but I think the dominatrix tells you you what you want.

Speaker 2 Exactly, right? That's the job. You're saying, cute thing.

Speaker 11 But, you know, you also do want to accommodate them.

Speaker 11 But it's true.

Speaker 11 I think they get embarrassed saying what they want because sometimes it, like, it's kind of embarrassing. I'd be embarrassed, too, if I were them.

Speaker 11 So I just tried to make it as easy and streamlined. And yes, I got you.
And I had to, you know, play so many characters throughout the day, whether it was a nun,

Speaker 11 like a mean nun, or like a scary mommy, or like a bratty big sister, the popular girl at school. That was the big one.
Like popular girls have repelled from the school.

Speaker 3 Wait a minute, wait a minute. I want to say two things.
First of all, we've been doing the show for a long time. This is the most interesting conversation we've ever had.

Speaker 3 Far none. Things.
Far none.

Speaker 3 And secondly, being a man, I know men, and I am sure that at least one of them out there knows that they can never tell how they met you,

Speaker 2 but they so want to.

Speaker 3 Oh, just you see that woman in the cover of that magazine? Well, I knew her back in the day, you know?

Speaker 6 Anyway,

Speaker 3 I want to ask you: speaking of being in the covers of magazines, you've worked as a model and you were yourself a fashion designer. You are known for your extraordinary outfits.

Speaker 3 Are you allowed in your own mind to just go out wearing sweatpants and an old shirt?

Speaker 11 Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 11 Like, when I'm not like this,

Speaker 11 you wouldn't even recognize me.

Speaker 2 Really? Like,

Speaker 11 I look like who's the guy that holds the ring from the movie?

Speaker 2 And oh my precious.

Speaker 2 Oh Gollum.

Speaker 3 You're referencing Gollum.

Speaker 2 Yes, I'm Gollum.

Speaker 3 You say so that when you are not glammed up as we often see you and you're just yourself.

Speaker 2 You're actually, you're like...

Speaker 11 I'm scary. No, like I used to like be such a baddie.
Like I would walk down the street. I've caught three car accidents and a bike accident.
Like guys used to just go nuts for me. Now they run.

Speaker 2 They're like, oh, really?

Speaker 11 Like, run in the opposite direction. Yeah.
Like, I swear to God.

Speaker 3 And do you enjoy that?

Speaker 2 Kind of.

Speaker 2 I do.

Speaker 11 I really own it. Like, I used to just get hit on so much that, like, I have a really big butt.
I still kind of do, but not in the same way. So I used to, like, they weren't even looking at me.

Speaker 11 Like, they were just looking at my butt and like causing like literal accidents. I'm not kidding.
One in LA, two in New York, and then like

Speaker 2 France. Again, the bike accident.

Speaker 2 Hold on.

Speaker 3 Remember when I said this was the most interesting conversation you'd ever have?

Speaker 7 I have one follow-up question. Just I feel like I would be remiss not to ask.
You said your butt caused a bicycle accident in France. Did your butt ruin the Tour de France?

Speaker 2 I just felt like I was leaving it on the table. Okay, okay.
I just had to ask.

Speaker 3 Just turning over and seeing the baguette and the baskets sadly laying on the ground. Well, Julia Fox, I think as I've made clear, I could talk to you all day.

Speaker 3 But we have invited you here today to play a game, and we are calling it this time Recut Gems.

Speaker 3 So you starred in the movie Uncut Gems, as we mentioned, so we thought we'd ask you about recut gems, that is, movies that were recut. from their original version.

Speaker 3 Answer two out of three questions about these special editions of movies, and you'll win a prize for one of our listeners, the voice of anyone they might choose for their voicemail.

Speaker 3 Rhyme Fest, who is Julia Fox playing for?

Speaker 2 Heather Davis of Orlando, Florida.

Speaker 5 All right, you ready to do this?

Speaker 11 I just want to preface this by saying I'm so bad at like multiple choice. I was the kid that needed the extra time.
All right, we are

Speaker 3 happy. We are happy to provide whatever help you need as we do this.
Here we go.

Speaker 3 When Hayao Miyazaki's animated film, Princess Mononoke, was set to be distributed to American theaters, producers wanted to edit it to make it more marketable for Americans.

Speaker 3 How did the legendary director respond? Was it A, he sent sent the producers a sword along with the message, no cuts.

Speaker 3 B, he submitted his own edit, which cut everything between the title and the words the end, and he said, your choice.

Speaker 3 Or C, he told them that in Japanese culture, changing an artwork after it was seen by the public is the height of dishonor, and they bought it.

Speaker 11 He sent a sword.

Speaker 3 Yes, he did.

Speaker 3 That's so correct.

Speaker 3 You got that immediately, and I'm guessing, tell me if I'm wrong, that that's because that's what you would do.

Speaker 11 Absolutely.

Speaker 3 I figured, yeah.

Speaker 3 Movies, second question, you did very well. Second question, movies are often cut in order to secure a more family-friendly rating, right?

Speaker 3 That was definitely true of a film that would have been rated R if the original cut had been released. Was it A, Cars 3,

Speaker 3 B, My Little Pony the Movie, or C, Scooby-Doo?

Speaker 11 I'm gonna say Scooby-Doo.

Speaker 3 And you're right again, Julia.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 7 She's on fire.

Speaker 3 I mean,

Speaker 3 I don't see why you sold yourself short. Yes, the studio cut the edgier jokes, and they also used, we are told, CGI to cover up the heroine's cleavage.

Speaker 2 Okay.

Speaker 3 All right, last question. Just see if you can be perfect in this as you are in most things.
Some of the most interesting recuts of movies are done not by directors, but by their devoted fans.

Speaker 3 Which of these is a real fan edit of a film that you can enjoy if you can find it? A, a version of the entire 17-hour-long Harry Potter movies saga cut down to an hour and a half.

Speaker 3 B, a version of Batman Begins intercut with the movie American Psycho to make Bruce Wayne seem insane.

Speaker 3 Or C, a version of the original Star Wars trilogy in which every change later made by George Lucas has been painstakingly changed back.

Speaker 11 I'm just going to go with Star Wars.

Speaker 3 Go with Star Wars. Well, you're right because those are all real.

Speaker 2 They are real. Yes, they are all real.

Speaker 11 Because they all seem plausible and like brilliant ideas that fans would do.

Speaker 2 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 5 Is the short Harry Potter one? They just listen to Hermione.

Speaker 2 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 That's funny. Rhyme Fest, how did Julia Fox do in our quiz?

Speaker 2 Julia dominatrix the game.

Speaker 2 All three lights. She disciplined it.

Speaker 3 He was, I can tell you.

Speaker 3 Julia Fox is an actor, model, fashion designer, and the author of the remarkable memoir Down the Drain, which I highly recommend. You can see her starring in the movie Him, which is streaming now.

Speaker 3 Julia Fox, what a joy to talk to you in person.

Speaker 2 From NPR and WBZ Chicago, this is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, the NPR News Quiz. I'm Dr.
Ch. Ron Fest Smith.
We're playing this week with Alonzo Bowton, Josh Gottleman, and Adam Berg.

Speaker 2 And here again is your host at the Studebaker Theater in Chicago, Illinois, Peter Sagal. Thank you, Rhyme Fest.

Speaker 3 Thank you all so much. In just a minute, Rhyme Fest rhymes best in our listener limerick challenge.

Speaker 3 Right now, panel, those are more questions for you from the week's news.

Speaker 3 Adam, some people are the office jokester, some are the office workhorse, but there's an unofficial role at the office that could hurt your career and lead to burnout, we were told this week.

Speaker 3 You should avoid becoming the office what?

Speaker 2 I don't know.

Speaker 3 Can I get a clue? Sure. They might say, like, I'm not mad at these expense reports.

Speaker 2 I'm disappointed.

Speaker 5 Oh, like the office parent?

Speaker 3 The office parent, yes. It turns out most offices have an unofficial office parent.
The person at work who knows all the birthdays is always there to help. They'll even drive to Walmart at 10 p.m.

Speaker 3 because you forgot you needed poster board for your big presentation the next day.

Speaker 3 Experts of office psychology say that if you are the office parent, you should be mindful of how this role contacts your own mental health. It's a slippery slope.

Speaker 3 At first, you're the responsible one, right? Then all of a sudden, you're meeting with HR because you choo-choo trained a spoon of tomato bisque into your boss's mouth.

Speaker 2 I would think the office food thief would be the one. Yeah, wow.

Speaker 6 That's the one you couldn't stand. Anyone who's a mess in the career.

Speaker 3 Well, let me ask you this. If someone steals the food, who are you going to go to?

Speaker 2 The office parent.

Speaker 6 No, you're going to go to their ass.

Speaker 3 Now, this is true. The article advises: if you find yourself in the role of office parent, you need to set boundaries.

Speaker 3 Like, if someone comes to you looking for comfort because they're all upset about something, and this is from the article, you should say to them, quote, this is a big boy job.

Speaker 3 You've got to handle it.

Speaker 6 Would the office parent know that they're the office parent?

Speaker 3 I think this was an article that was trying to show people that they might be the office parent and that you should step out of that role.

Speaker 7 We need an office Mauripovich

Speaker 2 to find out who's the office father.

Speaker 2 You are the office father, yeah.

Speaker 3 Josh, in an interview with the Times of London, former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio bashed mayoral candidate Zoran Mamdani's policies, but the paper had to retract the story after they discovered what?

Speaker 7 Oh, I know this one. Yes.
They had contacted the wrong Bill de Blasio.

Speaker 2 That's right.

Speaker 3 A reporter from the Times got an email for Bill de Blasio, so he emailed Long Island-based wine importer Bill de Blasio and asked what he thought of Mamdani's policies, and he just went with it.

Speaker 3 He responded, quote, in my view, the math doesn't hold up under scrutiny and the political hurdles are substantial, unquote. Wow.

Speaker 3 Agree or disagree with them, you can see how this guy got elected wine importer.

Speaker 5 Is there any chance he was talking about the wrong Mamdani?

Speaker 2 It's true, yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, Zaran Mamdani, the cheese marker.

Speaker 2 I hate that guy.

Speaker 3 So the actual former mayor de Blasio, who is a supporter of Mamdani, immediately called to the paper to retract it, and they did, said they had spoken to someone falsely claiming, quote unquote, to be Bill de Blasio.

Speaker 3 But the other Bill de Blasio is like, no, I did not. I never said I was the mayor.
They emailed me and asked me for my opinion. He said, quote, I am Bill de Blasio.
I have always been Bill de Blasio.

Speaker 6 Is that the level that the newspapers at? Like, they just find a random email.

Speaker 3 Yeah, basically.

Speaker 6 Assume this is the guy.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's like someone, it's like basically someone said, does anybody have an email for Bill de Blasio? Here's one. Great.
Mr. de Blasio, we want your opinion on the mayoral campaign.

Speaker 3 The guy's like, okay.

Speaker 6 So there's some guy walking around named Michael Jordan who just answers basketball questions.

Speaker 2 All the time, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 In other news, Wine Spectator interviewed wine importer Bill de Blasio about this year's Cote d'Aron vintages and he didn't know anything.

Speaker 3 Coming up, it's lightning, fill in the blank. But first, it's the game where you have to listen for the rhyme.
If you'd like to play on air, call or leave a message at 1888-WAIT-WATE.

Speaker 3 That's 1-888-924-8924. You can see us most weeks right here at the Studebaker Theater in beautiful downtown Chicago.

Speaker 3 And next week, we are going to have our first ever show in Orange County, California, with just a few more tickets just released.

Speaker 3 For tickets and information to all our live events, go to nprpresents.org. And if for some reason you want to see even more of us, find us on TikTok at WaitWait NPR.

Speaker 3 Hi, you're on WaitWait, don't tell me.

Speaker 11 Hi, this is Ann in Vancouver, Washington.

Speaker 3 Oh, how are things in Vancouver, Washington? I hurried to emphasize.

Speaker 11 Oh, they're quite cold but beautiful.

Speaker 3 And what do you do there in the beautiful outdoors in the Pacific Northwest?

Speaker 11 I mostly play and watch live music in Portland.

Speaker 3 So you're a Portland musician? Right. Yeah, what would you describe your genre as?

Speaker 11 Oh, it's kind of a weird genre. It's progressive rock.

Speaker 2 Oh, heard of it.

Speaker 7 Now in Portland, is that prog rock or is it just like rock and roll music that believes in prison abolition?

Speaker 11 That's you pretty much nailed it. Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 3 Gotcha. Well, welcome to the show and Rhyme Fest is going to read you three news-related limericks with a last word or phrase missing from each.

Speaker 3 If you can find that last word or phrase correctly in two of the limericks, you'll be a winner. You ready to go? I'm ready.
All right, here is your first limerick.

Speaker 2 We wine snobs have found fun escapes. Through fruity vats, we get to trapes.
It's a wine lover's camp where we stomp and we stamp. Yes, we get to smash our own.

Speaker 3 Grapes. Yes, grapes.
Rich wine snobs are spending thousands of dollars to go to wineries and crush grapes with their feet.

Speaker 3 They're calling it grape camp, and it costs $5,000 to $7,000 for the weekend just to go there and make your own wine.

Speaker 3 You pick the grapes, you stomp on them, you bottle the juice, then in about a year you can order and drink the rosé that you yourself created. Oh, do I detect a note of my own athlete's foot?

Speaker 7 Five to seven thousand dollars.

Speaker 3 Five to seven thousand dollars.

Speaker 7 I'm such a rube, I can't tell the difference between grapes I step on at home for like eight dollars.

Speaker 2 I know.

Speaker 2 Just the ones that fall on the floor and you're walking in the kitchen barefoot. Yeah, like that.

Speaker 6 So I wonder how much do the people who, because there are people who actually do this, who actually stomp the grapes to make wine, how much do they get paid?

Speaker 3 That's a good question.

Speaker 2 You know, or how much are they paying for?

Speaker 6 Somebody's paying $5,000 to pretend to do what you do every day. Yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 I mean, it'd be weird if like the actual grape stompers were like asking for a raise to say 20 bucks an hour and somebody said, you know, I have an idea.

Speaker 5 Rich board people will do anything to get their steps in, wouldn't they?

Speaker 2 Really?

Speaker 3 All right, here's your next limerick ant.

Speaker 2 This insect home decor may cost less, but the nightmares it causes will stop rest. There are memories of stings which imagined buzz brings.
I have hung up a dried up old wasp.

Speaker 3 Nest. Yes, wasp nest.
The latest trend in home decor is to hang a real wasp's nest in your home.

Speaker 3 Etsy dealers and interior designers, they wait for a few frosts and then they head outside and they go to the woods and they find and bring home wasp nests that they then sell for up to $250 each, presumably to people who want their guests to never relax.

Speaker 3 Still, designers say the unique constructions add, quote, an air of danger to your living space.

Speaker 5 Wait, so there are actual wasps in the nest?

Speaker 3 There are not, I believe that when you purchase the wasp's nest and it comes to you from Etsy or from the designer, it no longer has wasps in it.

Speaker 5 That's so sad. You're just buying a wasp's foreclosed home.

Speaker 3 You really are.

Speaker 5 And you're hanging it up like some lower.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's like cross-species gentrification.

Speaker 2 It doesn't feel right, you know?

Speaker 7 I think you should, if you want a wasp nest in your home, you should have to do it the old-fashioned way by not cleaning under the gutters and the eaves.

Speaker 2 Josh, are you still doing wasp nests?

Speaker 5 So last year we're doing termite moons.

Speaker 2 I have a whole beaver dam in my man cave.

Speaker 2 And also in the man cave, a bear. It's also a bear cave.

Speaker 3 All right, and here is your last limerick.

Speaker 2 Our club meets to blow off some steam. Letting out bottle rage is the theme.
Behind soundproof doors, we let out some roars. We take a deep breath and then

Speaker 3 scream. Yes, feeling stressed.
Scream is right. Are you feeling stressed or yoga and meditation not doing it for you?

Speaker 3 Then why not join one of the growing number of scream clubs forming across the country if you are looking to relieve your stress in the most annoying way possible? Scream clubs meet.

Speaker 3 in outdoor locations far from other people. So yeah, whatever is happening in the apartment above you is something else.

Speaker 3 Meetings start with breathing exercises, then you set an intention for the session and you scream. The motto of Scream Club is I scream, you scream, we all scream because we can't afford a therapist.

Speaker 7 The first rule of Scream Club is you don't talk about Scream Club, which is hard because everyone knows from all the Scream Club.

Speaker 3 It's like, what was all that screaming?

Speaker 3 No, the first, this is actually true.

Speaker 3 The first rule of Scream Club in the article, the first rule of Scream Club is you have to sign a waiver because you're going to release them from liability when you damage your vocal cords.

Speaker 3 That's true. And the second rule of Scream Club, also true, is you cannot tell anyone what's bothering you.
You have to keep it inside and just scream.

Speaker 7 What a silent generation ass rule back.

Speaker 3 Rhyme Fest, how did Ann do in our quiz?

Speaker 2 We should all scream for Ann. She got them all correct.
Yay!

Speaker 2 Yay!

Speaker 3 Congratulations, Ann. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Take care.
Bye-bye.

Speaker 2 Bye.

Speaker 1 This message comes from NPR sponsor SAP Concur.

Speaker 1 Latora Jackson, Senior Manager of Finance Projects at HRECure, shares how SAP Concur solutions helped them automate outdated procedures so employees could focus on purposeful work.

Speaker 13 Literally, employees would receive a mailed invoice from our suppliers, put it in an approval folder, and walk it around to about three different desks.

Speaker 13 The great thing with Concur Invoice, it provides automatic workflow.

Speaker 13 The AI technology for the invoice reading has made it seamless and almost touchless for our accounts payable team to be more efficient in what they're doing.

Speaker 13 We're now able to have team building and decision-making input from that team that we normally didn't have the time to receive before.

Speaker 13 So it was almost like a retraining of the brain on job functionality and opportunities that they have here at Atricure.

Speaker 1 Visit concur.com to learn more.

Speaker 3 Now it is on to our final game. Lightning fill in the blank.
Each of our players will have 60 seconds in which to answer as many fill-in-the-blank questions as they can.

Speaker 3 RhymeFest, how did Alonzo do in our quiz?

Speaker 2 Alonzo got three right for a total of six. He has eight points all together.
He is in the lead. There you go, Alonzo.

Speaker 6 I'll say this one's still open.

Speaker 7 Uh falling into a canal.

Speaker 3 Exactly right.

Speaker 2 Wow.

Speaker 3 The woman looks very good. Look at that.

Speaker 2 Look at that.

Speaker 3 The woman was filmed holding her phone and walking down a small set of stairs that led directly into a canal.

Speaker 3 Turns out Google Maps walking directions kept telling her to go straight, and she didn't want to argue. See, this is what happens when you use Google's new Messiah mode.

Speaker 3 Reinfest, I think Josh did pretty well.

Speaker 2 Josh got him all right for a total of 16 points. He has 18 now.
He is in the lead. All right.

Speaker 6 I knew he'd pass me on that.

Speaker 6 I knew there was a lot of pressure on you on that one, Justin.

Speaker 3 So, how many then does Adam over here need to win?

Speaker 5 I had no idea.

Speaker 3 1,000 chairs from restaurant outdoor patios.

Speaker 3 This week, the Spanish police announced they had arrested seven suspects in the theft of over 1,000 chairs from outdoor seating areas across Madrid. Man, that must have been a hell of an operation.

Speaker 3 Can you imagine having to go up to a thousand different people and ask, is this seat taken?

Speaker 2 It is now.

Speaker 3 Rhyme Fest, did Adam Burke do well enough to win?

Speaker 2 Adam got five right for a total of 10. He has 13 points.

Speaker 3 This is NPR.

Speaker 10 This message comes from Vital Farms, who works with small American farms to bring you pasture-raised eggs. Farmer Tanner Pace describes what makes a pasture-raised egg unique.

Speaker 14 Before we first started with Vital Farms, I thought, you know, an egg's an egg, not a big deal, but it's hard for me to even eat an egg that's not a vital farm egg now.

Speaker 14 Vital Farms eggs are usually brown to lighter brown in color. And when you crack a pasture-raised egg,

Speaker 14 you have to hit it harder than what a person thinks just because the shell quality is so good.

Speaker 14 And basically, when that egg cracks in the skillet or bowl, that yolk is almost kind of an orange shade. And that is part of what I love about a vital egg is just the shade of yolk.

Speaker 14 I love pasteurised eggs because you can see the work and the pride that the farmers have and have put into these eggs.

Speaker 10 To learn more about how Vital Farms farmers care for their hens, visit vitalfarms.com.
