Peter here, so recently weight weight celebrated 20 years on the air, which is pretty incredible,

especially when you think back to the days we weren't sure we'd get through a whole hour.

And a good part of the reason that we're still here is of course the news itself.

If we didn't have a steady stream of raw material, we never would have made it this far.

Well, that and you, yes you, the person listening to me right now, because you and a lot of

other people donated over the years, we were able to keep the lights on and the tape recorder

spinning and the transmitting towers humming.

So if we're going to make it another 20 years, given the steady stream of news coming out

of the pipe, the only real thing we've got to worry about is you keeping up that support.

So remember, all that news is not going to make fun of itself.

Go to donate.npr.org slash weight to give.

Thank you, Bill.

Thank you everybody.

Thank you so much.

We have got a great show for you today.

Later on we're going to be talking to movie director Peter Farley, who used to be known

for Ersy comedies, like there's something about Mary, but now he's made a movie about

the civil rights era called Green Book, in which racial relations in the United States

are solved by a hilarious mishap with some quote, here, gel.

There's something about calling into play our games.

Give it a try.

The number is one triple eight.
