From NPR and WBEC Chicago Chicago, this is, wait, wait, don't tell me, the NPR News Quiz.

If my voice wore pants, I'd buy them in the big and tall section.

I'm Bill Curtis, and here's your host at the Studebaker Theater at the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Illinois.

Peter Sagle.

Thank you, Bill.

Thanks, everyone.

We are very excited as well for this week's show, because later we're going to be interviewing Leveh, the brilliant Icelandic pop jazz musician. And yes, Icelandic pop jazz musician is what you get

when you ask chat GPT to create the perfect NPR guest. But if you want to prove that your intelligence is not artificial, give us a call and play our games. The number is 1-2-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-2-4. Let's welcome our first listener contestant. Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. Hi, this is Shannon. I'm calling from Flagstaff, Arizona. Hey, Shannon, how are you? What's, oh, Flagstaff is great. Blackstaff. I'm excited to talk to you guys. I'm very excited to talk to you. Flagstaff is a great place to be because you're up and high and away from the brutal heat, right? Yeah, I just moved here like two weeks ago from Phoenix, and I'm not moving back. Yeah, just in time. What do you do or will you do there now that you're there?

About 15 minutes ago, I got an offer from a cardiac position as a nurse at the hospital here, so I'm pretty Oh my gosh. This is great. You did the flagged up? Get a new job? Come on our show. You don't talk to wait, wait, don't tell me. Yeah, everything's... I hope you studied to be a nurse. Well, Shannon, it's great to talk to you, and congratulations and all the good things, but let me introduce you to our panel this week. First up, a comedian appearing at Hey Nani in Arlington Heights, Illinois, August 1st, it's Adam Burke. Hi, how are you?

Hello. Congratulations. Next, a comedian whose album, Yell Joy, is available to buy a blonde

medicine. It's Joyelle, Nicole Johnson. Hatch Shannon. And Joe. And an actor and writer who'll be

appearing at Chicago's I-O theater in the acc acclaimed show Two Square this very weekend. It's Peter Gross. Hi. Thank you, Peter. So, Shannon, welcome to the show. You're going to play Who's Bill this time? Of course, Bill Curtis is going to start us off by recreating two or three, shall we say, voices from the week's news.

If you can correctly or explain just two of them, then you will win our prize.

Any voice from our show you might choose for your voicemail.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

All right.

Your first quote, then, is from ranking House Rules Committee Member Congressman Jim McGovern.
