I. Tried to emulate it with book smart with less fear because we had young people I said So let's talk about the movie you're this isn't the 1st thing you directed you've done some short films but this is your 1st feature which is very exciting Yeah one of the things I've read is that it's very intimidating to be a movie director because even a low budget movie there's a lot of money there's a lot of people who are all looking to you to be the leader did you have to struggle with that was it tough for you or did you fall naturally into the role I thought pretty naturally into it because I've been on that for 17 years and I was ready to take the reins you know I was ready to be the father so it wasn't too hard I enjoyed that part had you been on sets doing all those other projects you've been doing sitting there the whole time going down that I should be in charge increasingly Yeah. Yeah this movie book smart it's about 2 young women they're about to graduate high school it's also very contemporary If I'm not mistaken it takes place right now the spring of 2019 Yes that's right and you are to me a very young person but you're not that young so did you have to learn stuff about like what high school kids are like now and how they were different when when you were graduating high school yet because they're just a lot better now they are much smarter they're much cooler they're much more involved they're much more fluid. And I had to learn some of their cooling go because I am 100000 years old and I had to kind of catch up on how they talk and they had cool lingo like for the longest time I didn't know what they meant what they were like Brad Pitt live on the wire they say but that means outfit so I pass that on to you know I'm sorry the word. If I keep it like that's like brought it rad fit Brad Batman Yeah did they ever tell you anything that made you think they were just pulling your leg. I mean they were the whole time but they were very very kind to me I have to ask you this is a movie as is given away by the title of a. 2 rather brainy girls in high school who in fact decide at one point they haven't had enough fun they've been so brainy and working so hard was that what you were like in high school I went to like the ultimate nerd high school just the nerdy as the nerd and I was one of them and I'm proud to be but we didn't have fun parties and most everyone else did and I just wasn't made aware but. I had seen the movie about it in order to go to the party yeah I had to catch everyone to pay them to be there. So the movie has come out it's gotten great reviews I hope a lot of people see it let's assume that it is the success that it seems to be to you know what you want to do next are you going to try to do one of those big superhero movies next that seems to be that I'm usually aggression the fun wouldn't . Well you've done those big movies you could handle it I could handle it I can handle it it's not as I have you know good now back and the glad music I could make it happen but truly you know I wrote say this because I think they're pretty grim for female filmmakers so I say that all of us ladies should step back and start telling stories as much as we possibly can thank you thank you are with you while we have in fact asked you here to play a game that we're calling a levy a wild have some Wild Wings. That's right we're going to ask you about Buffalo Wild Wings of the. Casual Dining franchise that was named in your honor by some drunk ice were really into Cowboys and Aliens. Answer 2 out of 3 questions correctly and you win our prize for one of our listeners the wait waiter of their choice during their voicemail Bill who is a living a wild playing for each of Denver Colorado All right you ready to do this yes I am all right here's your 1st question though the star of the menu a Buffalo Wild Wings is obviously the wings that's not all they have to offer you could also order which of these at one of their restaurants a one gallon bag of fountain soda for only 7. 99 be a cocktail called the gin and tonic and ranch dressing. Or c. Chicken forearms. Like. I I'm just I really hope that the bag or the back of the bag of fountain soda. That's. All that is that come with Welcome to the bag and some so that's right. There you are you choosing that I'm trying to get your right Olivia that's right thank God it's good for parties yeah next question you can catch almost any sport you want on the many T.V.'s at your local Buffalo Wild Wings but at one location in Alabama you can also do what a attend a church service be hunt game in the very big backyard or see have paint ball fights with other customers oh wow. My gosh I'm going to go with church you're absolutely right to live you thanks. Of course the church service at this particular Buffalo Wild Wings begins before the restaurant opens you can have beer and wings during service however they encourage you to stick around and enjoy it after the sermon because the communion wine also come in a bag obviously. All right here's your last question you can be perfect in this as you have been in so many other things here's your last question March Madness is the busiest time the Buffalo Wild Wings writes of the restaurant is always looking for ways to make the customers experience even more enjoyable including which of these a they set up booths with sports bookies to help you drop your brackets be an on site therapist for those suffering from actual clinical March Madness. Or see the jewel stool a cool bar stool for men who got the sec to me so they could skip work and watch more games. I love all of those so much time ago it's a unit with a boot. What sports bookies know was actually the jewel school I was sure. And it was a devious many men schedule of a sec Timmy's around March Madness this is true so they could enjoy the enforced rest in front of the t.v. So why not entice them down the Wild Wings right.

Well welcome to the show now Jess you're going to play our game in which you must try to tell truth from fiction what is Jess is topic they call me octo push. This week in the news we learned a new word and that word is octo push and no it doesn't mean a doula for octopuses. Panels are going to tell you what it does mean only one of them though is telling the truth pick that one and you win our prize the weight waiter of your choice in your voicemail Are you ready to play I'm reading All right 1st let's hear from Adam Burke Tiffany fleet of Plano Texas has always hated October it's not a seasonal affective disorder thing she explains it's just the fact of October the pumpkin spice and hollowing decorations going up right after Labor Day October is just as big a lame reminder that summer is over and the end of the year is rushing toward year Freet soon located like minded thinkers online and earlier this year founded October push a grassroots movement aimed shunting the dreaded 10th month to later in the year. The plan is to add 6 days to both August and September and make October shorter and later explained fleet the idea seems to be gathering steam a recent changed org petition espousing the octopus agenda garnered 120000 signatures Dr Jordan Lowery an octo pusher from Sacramento sees a scientific rationale for the shift global warming is causing havoc with the traditional abscission and foliage change intrigues so realign in October to reflect that isn't a bad idea he explained Plus remember that Pope Gregory changed the calendar by 10 days and 1582 and he didn't even have a website. While fully acknowledges the new arrangement will take some getting used to particularly for people born in the latter part of the month she adds it means an extra 2 weeks of May not hearing the monster mash in a c.b.s. It'll be worth. A look at the push October back. You don't have to deal with it quite so soon. Your next story of what octopus might mean comes from a need to consent. It's pretty obvious by now that all human and Devore will eventually become an Olympic sport you know sword fighting became fencing and now sinking to the bottom of the pool might become the newest and weirdest sport hoping to compete at the Olympics this new sport is called octo push and next month it will make its debut at the Southeast Asian Games octal pushes a form of hockey that's played under water at the bottom of the swimming pool the king came with developed by the British Royal Marines for underwater training in the 1950 s. And it's called octo push because the name near drowning was already taken. The entire game featuring swimmers and awaited puck happens under water the players wear Speedos and have little tiny hockey sticks they and their referees surface every few seconds to gulp air I'd explain the scoring system to act to push but no one cares I'll tell you how spectators can watch push but they really can't. A version of hockey. Played at the bottom of the poll while holding your breath your last October push or well that's Bobcat Goldthwait for decades in the small Swedish town of Goldenberg giant mysterious wooden spatulas have been unearthed and have flown mix the community over their purpose thought to possibly be an ancient farming tool the town's folks would paint the spatulas with bright festive colors and use them to decorate their gardens often hang them in their own homes it wasn't until recently when archaeologist Lars Dahlberg found an ancient parchment nearby that the real use the spatulas was discovered a large tool of the octopus by bird is believed to have played a main role in the ancient Nordic practice of on this. And this is when the elders of the clan threw themselves off cliffs in order not to be a burden to their families or the tribe. Lars said I guess sometimes the elders would have 2nd thoughts about hurling themselves in the great abyss. And would start their own back. Then the octopus was used to swell I'm. Like a large geriatric housefly. However said he believes the octopus was also used at the bottom of the cliff to help clean up after which. People have gotten to have removed pushes from their homes and darn. Black one the town's woman declared it's really a terrible shame because there are namely decorated act to push really made my den come alive. All right. So Jess you were there is a saying This much we can tell you called octo push is it from Adam Burke a movement to push October back in the year so we can have a little bit more time before we deal with it from Amy Dickinson a weird but real sport played with a hockey puck at the bottom of a pool while holding your breath or from Bobcat Goldthwait an ancient Nordic implement used as a spatula to push reticent senior citizens off of what. I'm. Going to go with a are going to go with Adam's story for the audience here likes it when you choose Adam story about the people who want to push October back because wouldn't be nice if we didn't have to deal with it yeah all right well to bring you the real story we spoke to someone involved in an underwater Auggie is played normally in heaven in the deep cold and here in Tokyo there. Underwater are going to be in court that was my Kelton to use the director of the 2019 USA underwater hockey nationals in other words he plays octo push. So I'm so sorry you didn't get it right however you're earned a point for Adam and maybe help for Art of Movement so I thought what a beautiful and I'm sorry you didn't win but hey you know we're going to be here for another hour run on day one of us will record your voicemail I promise you fake you so much for who Thank you. Thank you. Keep. Getting stuff. And now the game where people travel a long way to arrive at a brief moment of silliness it's called Not My Job Alex boy a lives here in Salt Lake City but he was born in London to a Nigerian mother and along the way he has led a boy band sung in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and been a backup dancer for George Michael Yeah fine you might say for what's he done that's unusual Well he also personally gave a book of Mormon to Prince Charles How's that it wasn't then it wasn't then All right Alex boy a welcome to Wait Wait Don't Tell me thank you so much but a pleasure to have you free the more if the more I read about you the more I believe you're a fictional character. Because it was so that's true you grew up kind of rough in London yeah I went through the foster care system a lot and everything and then I end up go and ended up at a boarding school but really I when I was 11 the school I went to was moved from whole school and it was like subsidize all the kids from the hood from the really bad places of of London and broken homes and that kind of stuff and the school the . Things look like some of Harry Potter but without the magic of the movement's robots but we were like literally living Harry Potter and the education I got was amazing but I failed every class but when I would go to get a job in England as soon as I saw the school who moved to school in coming oh yes yes yes I'll take you as you're all you're like a kid from the rough neighborhood yeah I felt like you know the English version of fresh prince from Bel Air You know. So Alex Toth When when did you start singing I actually started music when I got kicked out of my house when I was 16 years old for becoming a member really so yeah this is an I mean Ok well I mean it wasn't so Alex you're in England yes I did some guys on bicycles ride up and and talk to you looking how did you like a little bit it's like an american Well I used to work in McDonald's I'm going home I'm like sweat and everything what can Donald's name thing I turn up I'm walking to my door step I walk up and what did I see 2 sister missionary smiling at me I never heard this is something I had to think let me tell you think they were so frickin Hall I'm. Full up saying there's a man up stairs going to send to you my so anyway whatever I've heard a lot of reasons for converting to Mormonism but that was never been one of them was going to be honest so as you say we could be here all day. But eventually you decided to leave London and you came to Salt Lake City yes you are and you join the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Yeah yeah I was there for 8 years my men have this manager in such a hostile right so after I left the choir left about 4 years ago and he said this is how he had publicized made sense Alex boy was the 1st black lead singer of the Mormon Tabernacle. I was going to ask you how in a course of a 100 people how you would stand out but I guess I know. There was 3 there's 3 black guys in the choir when I was in the choir Yeah with the color. 3 pieces of licorice in a sea of marshmallows really what what is it like singing in a chorus of 300 people cannot tell you when you are singing with 360 people in a spiritual sensing about God telling you man saved my life really really and in a way that you're performing with boy bands prior to that did not oh yeah that's right you are going to that you know you know you had a point you must be if you mean there are so many like things that only you have done from having a boy band that opened for in sync Yeah and the Backstreet Boys are band The Backstreet Boys opened up for us in Cardiff in 1995 I believe and this was when we'd only had one hit and in the back it was came and they were the 1st boy band ever where all the singers could actually sing my group so that's 4 of us right yeah and only one of us could sing and that was me right so I come into the studio record oh my heart is like really and in which you're on stage and not turn all their mikes off. And they would mime everything so it was oh my voice but they're amazing dancers No I'm not going to tell you because you could look it up but did I know that did they know that nobody could hear them I. Wouldn't know because they sang the top of their voices. So I just turned the mikes off I told the engineers to turn their mikes off so they didn't know to this they know that we are the best singers in the world have the right to say that and I'd like that's like the opposite of the moment where you're the only one thinking yeah that's right I love the way that you are the way you tell your stories like an old general talking about a battle he was in and it's part of her thank you thank you for you Do you guys Well Alex boy a we have invited you here to play a game we're calling Meat Boy our d. . The more we talked about your hungrier we got and we realize that's because your name reminded us of Chef Boyardee the very real show.

Or c. When rescuers reached the remains of an airplane crash site in the Himalayas they found signs of cannibalism and 10 unopened can all the boy argued before oh no I'm going to go for you know for a hurricane during And you're right Alex that's what I think thank you what a here's your next question what no one thinks of Chef Boyardee as health food it's probably never put anyone's life at risk except for one time when what happened a a grocery worker at a Florida Piggly Wiggly was trapped in a pyramid of Chef Boyardee cans that was built around him while he now. He won a Marine deployed in the Middle East accidentally microwaved a can with a lid on causing a small explosion all his fellow troops ran him with a ram sixteen's or see a woman in China developed aluminum poisoning because she loved Chef Boyardee ravioli so much she would chew on the empty cans Oh oh if we could go for b. Going to go for b. The Marine Yes that's what happens when everybody was fine thank God thank you all the people all right last question for you one of the best things about Chef Boyardee is that it's pretty cheap but in 20012.

News quiz I'm Bill Kurtis and here is your host at the Chase Bank Auditorium in Chicago Peter Sagal all thank you Bill so we have been avoiding our families and helping you avoid yours by distracting everyone with great segments from our recent past we did consider having everybody in America just swap families but there were loads just tickled challenges so we canceled all the busses we had reserved and instead here's some things everybody can agree on for example that Henry Winkler is the nicest man in the universe and he came back to our show last August and Peter asked if people still recognized him as the funds or on his more recent Emmy winning role the acting teacher Jean said Oh on H.B.O.'s comedy series Barry I don't you know people yell out family. And people yell out the fonts but I will say I'm wearing jeans right now Ok in Iraq because you know change is a part of the characters that's true they both were you know the one is named Jean the other one wears jeans yes that's very high didn't realize as a through line to your work you know what I did need to run through your chest for out of it and I know it's great you know I think if we show my every every sign that says fire you look so amazing. But people still do refer to you as the fundamental and I absolutely absolutely my wife I. But and I think that's wonderful but I don't want to talk about the fund this time I want to talk to you about Gene cousin oh this role you play in the amazingly good t.v. Show Barry can thank those who are not lucky enough to see it and can you describe who Gene is I am a teacher I have great safety and yeah and I know they're great because they can pay in cash on Chinese right. And I teach a young man who came into my class. Has kind of like another job I've only finding out about and he's a an assassin right and he has become like a son right to me Well what's amazing about the show is even given that outlandish premise that he's an assassin who decides he wants to be an actor and forget in acting class it's really quite moving because as you say he does need a father and your character kind of provides that I didn't know that he was a as pickup trucks as he was supposed to be right and and then the 2 men who run the show Shawn me as I started to to bring Jean alive and they said oh he could also have a heart and so then they combined the 2 parts of my. Body Right. Down I got to ask you because of the so much of this is set in this acting class did you ever take an acting class and was it like this you know like I had 14 teachers in college in graduate school in drama school I did research and I came across a factory where there was a teacher here in l.a. Who literally forced his students who barely made enough to take his class he made them buy his art. To me like he would paint pictures or whatever and then sell it to his students and I I thought Yes this says everything I need to know about this teacher Wow Do you enjoy that aspect of the character being a little grasping and cruel you know what I mean I actually never thought of that because when you do when you do an episode you do scene by scene and you concentrate on making that scene perfect and all of a sudden you put all these details together and I watch along with everybody else I don't see it until it's on the air right so you know I don't I really am so ruled I just love going to work you know that's where I wonder what that would be like. I found strange So it does sound great. You and I'm so proud when you won an Emmy for the 1st season yes I did and I was amazed to discover that that was your 1st any you've had a lifetime of television and you've only won this Emmy and I have it on my guiding room table. Really is that when you put it right and it's opposite the front door so when the man. Delivers medicine from the pharmacy Yes. I I pointed out to him the Emmy. Oh that whole thing and anybody else who could. In the front door I read them through the dining room. I want to ask you something so you were on the show a few years ago in a wonderful time and Paula Poundstone said that she saw you once in public just you know the way that you do We were we were flying on the same airline on the same plane and she said that she thought to herself There's a happy little fella. So I just going to the fact that I'm sure I don't I think I'm not quite sure what she was referring to but I did want to ask you Do you think that's an accurate description that I I I have like 2 words gratitude and tenacity and our city gets me. And gratitude doesn't allow me to be angry along the way thank. You thank you thank you there's always a pleasure to talk to you we've invited you here to play a game that this time we're calling who look at the Twinklers So right now as a Winkler you Winkle But what do you know about things that twinkle stars. When I ask you 3 questions about Twinklers or Stars Get 2 right you'll win our prize for one of our listeners any voice they might like on their voicemail Bill who is our friend Henry Winkler playing for sending him a Taff of Dallas Texas All right Henry you ready to do this yes oh yes we've learned some interesting things about stars since we started venturing into space including which of these a stars can get bored be stars smell like burned steak or see stars they're just like us. Wow. I would have to go rock stars are just like gods because I'm a very normal person actually stars they're just like us is a feature in Us magazine The real answer was stars smell like burned steak we didn't know this into the. Really true until astronauts went out into space and space suits and came back and sniffed their spacesuits and felt weirdly hungry because it turns out that stars give off a number of chemicals one of which smells like burnt state why it's true why the smell of space actually I'm glad I'm on the shore I never knew that I know. All right these 2 more chances Here's your next question will mean a Fleming classified tens of thousands of stars during her decades long career at the Harvard observatory get her for that she had another job what was it a one day the head of the observatory got frustrated with the staff and said My Scottish maid could do better he hired her and she did. Be she was a theater critic who said people are boring I want to watch something else or see nobody knows she just showed up one day wearing a silver suit and said I can help you. All right I'm going to remember yes. Well I'm going to. Do with a that she said I'm my Scottish maid could do better you are right thank you want to go undiscovered geniuses who became a brilliant mathematician and astronomer she discovered among other things the horse said nebula she is a hero all right you have one more quote I'm going to hire her but she took that job I know it's a sham last question our son is a star of course for about 30 percent of people staring into the sun will cause an easing fits what is the scientific name of this reflex a squinty sneezing the solar snot or c off a sawmill compelling Helio up filmic outburst or at chu. I. I'm going to go see auto so more compelling Hillier up filmic outburst or actually you're right thank you. How did Henry Winkler do on our quiz you know Henri 2 out of 3 right is a very good score of it means you have one thanks. Finally many people love the Netflix t.v. Show Orange Is The New Black but they may not know it's based on the experience of a real person Piper Kerman who really did serve a year in a woman's prison we interviewed Ms Kerman near Cleveland where she had been working teaching writing in Ohio prisons better ask her if the authorities knew her whereabouts I am not on the lam and yeah I've been living here in Ohio for almost 5 years it's been fantastic and. I feel I mean I course believe that everybody knows your story but until we should say that the book obviously isn't is a memoir it's it's nonfiction but they took some liberties with the t.v. Series that was a book is a true story and. The show takes the book puts it in a blender and puts a lot of other ingredients in Yes and isn't that fantastic and fantastic so I know you a fan of the t.v. Show I am a fan of the show Ok were and all the people all the wonderful people who make it so you're back in prison although now you were doing it as an instructor and so what are you doing I teach true story writing class I teach a class in which students come in and write true stories from their own life essentially a memoir writing class do you ever teach them in India of your famous prison recipes they were very interested in the cheesecake recipe actually at the men's facility the women all knew how to do it I was actually amazed to read this in the book that all this cooking went on which I did not think was the thing that happened in prison but yeah this turns out the food in the chow hall is pretty bad yeah the skills of the prisoners are much better the materials are kind of rough to work with right so you do what you can well 1st of all I did notice that you said that in the prison the food was so bad and so. Exercise was one of the few things you could do to spend your time you ended up at least the 1st looking pretty great you said I ran a half marathon when I was in prison that's really boring it is to the time where do you how do you want to have fun in prison you run a half marathon around a quarter mile gravel track Good Lord is a lot of left turn to see. So as you say the child in the food hall was terrible some sort of cooking for yourself how do you make a cheesecake in prison. To make a cheesecake in prison you need a Tupperware bowl you have to have that after purchase from the commissary or borrow it you make a cross out of either smashed up graham crackers or Oreo depending on your proclivity to hold on hold on I'm writing this now you've got it you need some margarine that you've stolen from the chow hall that is the only stolen ingredient in this recipe which makes it novel and notable. And then for the filling you take those kinds of cheeses that don't have to be refrigerated you need about a half a cup of putting you can usually get some putting somewhere and you sort of beat those things viciously together until they're creamy and then you get a beating on a layer down on the putting and the cheese and you also start to add an entire thing of cream or about a call I'm making putting my hands about $8.00 to $10.00 or more is the powdered how to substitute non-monetary creamer right yes you put that in there the whole container you try not to think about what's what's going it what's in there yeah right and you mix and you mix and then it actually what you have is kind of a super mess right yes well then you take the plastic squeeze lemon and you put I would use really most of the lemon and you start to squeeze that into the mix and it tightens up. I attribute whatever mysterious things are contained in nondairy creamer but it's remarkably like the texture of a New York cheesecake. And the taste you are in so it seems if you're in prison right. Now I mean you have got to get a Food Network show I did before. Well Piper Kerman it is a pleasure to talk to you we have invited you here to play a game that we're calling longer this. Year you were busted and as we've discussed serve time for money laundering which made us wonder how much you know about the more traditional kind of laundering. It's are 2 out of 3 questions about what they call closing laundering the one prize one of our listeners the voice of anyone they might like on our show on their voicemail Bill who is Piper Kerman playing for Sophia of Ohio who's here with her family who are sure to be there who have yes. Here's your 1st question American pioneers had a very inventive way of dealing with dirty clothes What was it a sticking them in the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone and waiting for it to erupt the shooting of their laundry with soap shot or see just standing near a buffalo and blaming the animal for the stink. I'm going to go with Old Faithful you're exactly right I know who were 42 because like stories they say they would just stick the laundry in the guys or wait for to go up the laundry would blow out in the air they pick it up at Bickley that's what I would do absolutely next question while he was writing Walden Henry David Thoreau of course shot himself off from civilization that made getting his clothes clean difficult what clever technique did throw used to get his clothes clean during his year living on a coat his clothes in honey and let the bears lick them clean. He used his philosophical insights to convince the clothes to turn away from dirt. Or c He walked the mile into town and had his mom do it for him. It's so easy to see you are all gone yes yeah before her older than her isn't that far out of town they also brought food for him all right last question nowadays things of course and laundry as with everything else it's all high tech astronauts on the International Space Station do their laundry how a laser. Be hanging them on a line outside i'm or c. Loading their dirty laundry into a cargo spaceship and letting it burn up on reentry. I think it's basically a version of disposable underwear going to go you're exactly right you can see the water on the a much easier who bring up on her go through the old laundry in the ship and let it burn up on reentry you're exactly right Bill how did Piper do on our quiz she got all 3 right people met her the way our or her older or her that's it for our special Thanksgiving and listen to us rather than your relatives edition for n.p.r.
