To Emily welcome to the show you going to play Who's Bill This Time Bill Kurtis is going to read for you 3 quotations from this week's news your job of course correctly identify or explain them do that 2 times you win our prize that is the voice of Carl Kasell on your voicemail Are you ready to play I am ready I'm glad to hear it here's your 1st quote It is the speaker of the house Mr Paul Ryan I'm pretty encouraged by it and it actually exceeded my expectations he was happily reacting to a report from the Congressional Budget Office saying what will cause more than 24000000 people to lose their health insurance. That would be American health care yes the American health care act for him. Because sometimes they can't care or perhaps Ryan care or the reason I cannot stop coughing up blood you're. The c.e.o. Says that 24000000 people who have insurance now will lose it over the next 10 years experts say the new bill will intentionally hurt more people than any bill has since the everybody must swim right after eating active 125 because. This report came out it was not good Republican scrambled Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price said the numbers were quote virtually impossible and quote unbelievable hang. You know what else was virtually impossible and unbelievable because that's what recently happened anyway. That's going to a great time to be like a traveling medicine road show man you know that you know that's going to get you like a top hat and just a bottle full of love not just your Look at how it works but sixteen's will save you. From the at the feet my favorite part of the bill is that another favorite statistic the $24000000.00 people are going to be insured but also $27000.00 people are expected to die from it like that's literally what are the statistics which I think is really 5 yes but. Yes but again you know being a liberal down all of those people will no longer need health care. All right your next quote is from presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway. Microwaves start in the cameras that is just a fact of modern life so Conway. He needs to get some sleep. Conway. Was speculating on how whom could have spied on President Trump I think the President Obama yes that's how we did it. In a few weeks since President Trump tweeted out an accusation that President Obama had illegally wiretapped him Trump staff has been trying to explain it without admitting Yeah well the president just made it up Sean Spicer has had to spin so fast he actually corkscrewed into the earth. Is now 40 feet below the press room. Killian calmly civil It could have been anything maybe the CIA monitored Trump through his microwave which is insane Donald Trump has never operated a microwave. You don't know why you. Keep he repeats his left over k.f.c. By shaming it why are you so cold fail. Chicken fat. I do feel like I do like feel like Trump does give off background radiation and you can. Just as to put his like his old food into his bathrobe and just say that body he was this let's listen to the level the other presidents like Zachary Taylor is using you know pot bellied stone I know. I heard John Quincy Adams voice in my split Julie. All right very good Emily here's your last quote Love who is look queer that was great Baldrige she's in the You Tube show Pop Trigger she was reacting to the news the New Beauty And The Beast will include Disney's 1st ever what he can yes 1st ever gay character although I should say 1st ever openly gay character. You don't know what the dwarves got up to when Snow White was away. I mean Donald Yeah for example. You know he's running away from Daisy and dressed like a sailor Ok. Apparently the character of Le food in the new live action Beauty And The Beast he's the handsome villains sidekick reveals in the new version that his admiration for guess Stone isn't just for Turner this has caused some people to react with shock including a drive in theater in Alabama and the country of Malaysia which has banned the film because of this so congratulations Malaysia you are the Alabama of Asia.

Hey this is Jason from Norman Hey Jason from Norman having Ellen not bad Jason I cannot help but tell you seem to be female I am my mom got real creative bear did she now let's not say as a percentage how much time of your life so far have you spent having conversations exactly like this one. Too many. Recent It's nice to have you with as you're going to play our game in which you must try to tell truth from fiction Bill what is Jason's topic I love seeing new places trying new foods robbing their banks crime reaches across borders unless those borders are secured by a big wall that totally makes sense and is a great use of our resources. And anyway this week we read about a new international crime gang on the scene panelists are each going to tell you about it only one of them of course is telling the truth pick that real story of international crime you'll win our prize Carl Kasell voice on your voicemail All right here we go 1st let's hear from Tom Bode at spring break on Mexico's Baja coast accounts for half of the annual revenue of their visitor industry the other half is largely made up of ex-pat American retirees living out their golden years in the luxury of their beachfront condos street smart golf carts and water aerobics the 2 groups are natural enemies so retirees Richard Corson Travis Mason an heir napper stacked figured out a way to profit from the conflict of interests with what can only be described as a protection racket protection from them nothing repels a young drunk college kid with their parents credit card from a bar like a pair of golf carts parked out front and nothing clears a hotel pool faster than the sight of baggy arms in a rubber swimsuit so the self described prostate posse the gang who couldn't be straight. And work the mean streets of Kabo threatening the livelihoods Hard Rock Cafe pay is $500.00 or we bring our wives to happy hour with cottage cheese and Tupperware Grande Marriott $1000.00 keeps us from bone speedy bubbles off to the paddle boards in your pool for the entire month of March. You've heard of the heartbreak of incontinence that would be a shame nice place like this $1500.00 parks. The promise to gang was finally for oil when the Federalist remove them by force from the nude beach whose wife guard refused to deal police found thousands of dollars in protection money hidden in their fanny packs. The prostate. Running a protection racket in the youth oriented resorts of Mexico Your next story of an international crime ring will come to you from the game 1st up. Lovers of French cheese in America know that many French cheeses are legal here because of health codes but there's actually an American cheese band in France easy cheese in the can it has nothing to do with food safety the French just think it's totally gross so for years a group of Americans called the Biscoe gay have run an easy cheese smuggling ring providing mostly edible cheese to desperate and wealthy ex-pats. Their front operation is a bakery called the easy bolo Shipley the cheese is taken from airplanes put into how loaded baguettes and driven into the city in a bakery truck customer customs agents never seem to notice that this is weird because the French actually make their bread fresh on the premises that's like the one thing everybody knows about France that and they're totally cool with their spouses having affairs. The easy ball obviously became wildly popular it had like $4812.00 on French Yelp and not just for the ex-pats buying cans in the alley out back precisions actually love the unique baguette with the weird cylindrical hole in the middle. It's a represents devoid the feel it out so when we contemplate Elmo tell it. That's what they say because they're French. Good tip was that one on one fateful day a customer named Al Baer bit into a baguette that still had a can of easy cheese in it Mon Dieu Yeah he probably said and then he alerted the officials but only after he was done sipping his cafe and smoking a cigarette because out there is not some kind of sheep beholden to the demands of the state. The easy to use going in Paris. The last story of a cross border caper comes from Mr Adam Burke we've all heard of dying and dash but now you can add dine and dance to the cheapskates repertoire the owner of the common restaurant in the Spanish town of Ben b. Bray was expecting a hefty payday when 120 Romanian tourists chose to celebrate a baptism at his establishment but just as dessert was being served the entire party got up on mass formed a congo line and began dancing around the restaurant initially the owners thought nothing of it as all $120.00 revelers snaked or rather eels between the tables that is until the Congo made its way out the door with the throng quickly dispersed into their cars and sped off into the night. Although the group had paid a deposit of $900.00 euros the remainder of their 2000 euro bill was left on paid it happened in the space of a minute said astonished restaurant owner Antonio Rodriguez while Spanish police believe they have caught the ringleader of the Congo con artists they are keeping their eyes peeled out for roving gangs chicken dancing out of chicken joints and electric sliding out of the back doors of buff ace in the hopes of locking them all up in the hokey pokey. All right. Ok Jason here are your choices from Tom Bodett the prostate posse who are running a protection racket down in Kabul you're from again the story of easy cheese smugglers running out of a bakery in Paris and Adam story about dining and bashing and dancing in Spain which of these are the real story of a criminal gang. I have to go with the easy she is going to go with the easy 2 story of these people smuggling easy cheese into Paris in a hollow Baghdad. There is a desperate my not so easy get it all right well to bring you the real story we spoke to someone intimately familiar with it but group of 120 people at a congo line out the door will be there when you want to go over there. That was the Lisa Castor Del she is a contributing writer to vice she was talking about the remaining crime gang that got out of the restaurant bill by Congo ean out of the restaurant so as you now no doubt know with some horror it was Adam Burke who was telling the truth but again her 1st time on her show managed to convincingly fool you. So I apologize you did not win our game you did win a point from the game which is awesome and thank you so much for playing Thank you guys have a good one my bike you feel she can manage to do that I know you can't control yourself and you know you're not going to do that I know you can tell us of any and now the quiz where people have done a lot of big things come on and do one little thing it's called Not My Job for more than 40 years Paul Shaffer basically has been providing the soundtrack for late night t.v. 1st on that 1st generation of Saturday Night Live shows and then for 30 years with David Letterman he was the band leader who could play any song and would laugh at any joke he's releasing a new album with his band the world's most dangerous band and taking them on tour but he's stopping by here 1st Paul Shaffer welcome to Wait Wait Don't Tell.
