Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

who the New York Times calls one of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today.

He's released multiple comedy specials and is a regular panelist on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

He also was one of the hosts of the Netflix food show Snack vs.

Chef, where he ate a lot of snacks and then probably needed some medical attention, which is convenient because he's now also the co-host of the new podcast Health Stuff, where he learns things and hangs out with an actual double board-certified physician.

I refuse to acknowledge any L's whatsoever.

Including, I was thinking I might need to reach out to the Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me people and see if I can bum rush...

Do we say bum rush? Is that like one of those things where...

I don't know what the bum means.

I mean, that was I know that like, you know, Heidi Klum's Halloween costumes have been much commented on.

But that was.

incredible and also I love she did a video that she was like people keep asking me what this cost she broke down all the cost of the hand it was like three quarters of a million dollars oh my god oh my god yeah for just like all of the people that made it all of the like image scanning etc but um no I uh I was thinking about uh giving uh wedging my way into wait wait don't tell me this week because the last two elections of Donald Trump were both weeks where I was on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

And it was grim.

I was able to nail Becca on that.

But, no, what I was looking for was my text back and forth with my pal Brian Babylon, who's a fellow Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me panelist and a Chicagoan.

He goes by the King of Bronzeville, Chicago guy to the core.

What does that

Every week.

That's 1-888-924-8924.

Now let's welcome our first listener contestant.

Hi, you're on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

Hi.

You might know him.

as a panelist on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

These days, he's co-hosting a podcast called Health Stuff with a physician and comedian, Dr. Priyanka Wally, which is kind of an interesting concept because Hari does not know very much about health stuff, as we'll find out.

Then another Seattle pal of mine, the writer Lindy West, and her actual childhood best friend, Megan Hatcher Mays, will pop on the show to take a test to find out if they really are super-duper best friends.

Stupid Don't Get Tired just last year.
