From NPR and WBEC Chicago, this is, wait, wait, don't tell me. The NPR news quiz. Is this heaven? No? It's Bill Curtis.

And here is your host, the Des Moines Civic Center in Des Moines, Iowa, Peter Segal.

Thanks, Bill. Thanks everybody. So great to be back here in the absolute epicenter of American politics,

the place where it happens, the Parthenon of modern democracy, De Moines, Iowa, and January of an election year.

That is not slush on the sidewalks. That's freedom.

Later on, we're going to be talking to Olivia Nutsi, a reporter who's famous for among other things,

being Rudy Giuliani's favorite person to butt dial. But we want you to call us on purpose. The number to be carefully dialed is one

eight, eight, eight, nine, two, four. It's time to welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on, wait, wait, don't tell me.

Hello, Peter. This is Jeremy Bridgman calling from Monroe, Connecticut. Oh, okay. How are things in Monroe, Connecticut, Jeremy?

They're great. We've got a little snow cover, but that should all be melted away this weekend. Yeah, what do you do there?

I am a public relations consultant turned to stay at home dead. Oh, really? So you? I am. You did the thing of quitting your job to be home with your kids.

How do you? I did. I married an amazing woman with an amazing career, and it made the most sense for me to step away and stay home with the two small kids.

And good for you. And do you find that rewarding or more so than your job? More so, yes, although I would say the clients are just as difficult.

Yes. Well, welcome to the show, Jeremy. Let me introduce you to our panel this week. First, it's a comedian and host of the podcast, Fake The Nation.

You can see her at the University of Iowa on February 22nd, because she just can't get enough of Iowa. Nagine Farsal.

Hello. Next up, it's the author of The New York Times best-selling Mo Bichuaries, great lives, worth reliving, and host of the Mo Bichuaries podcast. It's Mo Rocka.

Hi, Jeremy. And a comedian you can see in North Hampton, Massachusetts at the John M. Green Hall at Smith College on March 14th.

You can hear anytime you want on her podcast. Nobody listens to Paula Poundstone. It's Paula Poundstone.

Hey, Jeremy.

So, Jeremy, welcome to the show. You're, of course, going to play Who's Bill this time? Bill Curtis is going to read you three quotations from this week's news. Your job, of course.

Identify or explain just two of them. Do that. You win our prize. The voice of your choice on your voice mail. Are you ready to play?

Absolutely.
