Be. With the 2nd round of the Democratic debates this weekend despite the efforts of many people doing a lot of work after the 1st round we weren't able to get rid of any of those people . At the Wednesday debate there were 2 Tuesday and Wednesday at the Wednesday debate everybody went after Biden and his main response was hey but Obama like to me. Come on that was years ago it's like the old guy who won't stop talking about high school right I was vice quarterback of the football team. You guys enjoy the debates. I had. I take it you did there I did I did I feel bad for Marianne Williamson Yeah because everybody kept tweeting her and like affirmation. When they were asking her if she had like stones and candles Yeah they make I always make her sound like Harry Potter. So bad for her you know I didn't watch these. Once but I will say I was shocked to see her on that debate stage for the Democrats and then very impressed in the 1st debate when she said her 1st couple answers were pretty good yeah and by the 3rd answer that had worn on I. Will have to like that. Back but she doesn't go for Mad So yeah rubs herself against an old old course not the. Conventional wisdom coming out of the Tonight affair was that Joe Biden who is leading by a long way the Democratic polls all he had to do was not screw up and he didn't screw up so the idea was like oh he's doing great except at the very end of it he screwed up his own website right he said go to Joe 30330 when he meant text that I mean it was such a grandfatherly thing to do you know Also although Joe does look like they've got to go Joe $3030.00 if he looks like he'll be running in a fallacy and. Your next quote is from some public service that n.p.r. Did sending a message to a specific group of men this week children think you're really really unattractive That was N.P.R.'s Nell Greenfieldboyce talking about a new study that finds men with what facial feature actually scares young children . Moustache Oh oh bigger than that go for the whole face oh dear beards Yes. Women you say that the tone of resignation and sadness to use or have a beard I definitely do know oh Ok yes but the answer is beards a new study finds adults perceive people with beards as stronger and more mature but that young children find them terrified. So single mom through Ok. Thinks they're stronger and more mature most adults according to psychological services Well I wasn't they didn't serve made me and now. Look at it as part of the study this is part of it they were trying to find out how kids related to people with beards or not so what they did was they took some young kids and they gave them a specially created picture book it's about a mysterious island where the kids worse instructed to complete quests and they could pick help hurts right so they tended to pick clean shaven man for tasks involving cooperation and bearded men for tasks that call for strength and mansplaining this is already too hot. This is already too called you know with them figuring out the kids don't like it's terrifying or but they are good people I'm not here to be yeah but a big yes but it would appear that the hirsute are they annoyed by the findings I don't know are you yeah. Well. I know 1st of all children should find Ben terrified and if you see even man her closely should everyone should have a beer Also who wants to be attractive to children that's. Why . I'm so like not a detective like I said I wasn't even thinking out about the fact that you have a beard and I said oh I don't think that they seem mature but. I'm sure but that wasn't directly. I know you don't seem particularly mature. Here Joshua is your last. Last quote I got the horses in the back horse track is attached those are some of the lyrics to the song that has now broken the record for longest run ever at the top of the Billboard charts what is that song with that horrible song. Oh here I think it's horrible service and the nation disagreed. Song by little Miles x. Has been number one in the Billboard charts for 17 consecutive weeks that breaks a record at this rate it will last longer than human civilization. The miles that keeps it in the charts this is true by constantly churning out new versions with different collaborators including Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Wayne the song keeps getting updates were now version $13.00 so it doesn't work with the old versions so . You know it will not ever be on a remakes of Old Town Road mere Pete but a judge the presidential candidate this is true he and little Nas x. Were supposed to do an event together and there Pete said well hey if we're going to be on stage together can I do the song with you and will not said no. He had already done a mix with the 12 year old Mason Ramsey from Nashville so he didn't want another with a yodeling child. Well according to a campaign rules he would have had to do a rematch with all 'd night until my God. I should say that even though people to judge was turned down there is in fact a growing trend of presidential candidates collaborating with pop stars Bernie Sanders didn't event with Carty b. This week. She He's actually and she's been talking for a while she has a lyric about bloody shoes and you know hear that it was like I had that do she should meet my put that interest.

Well welcome to the show don't and you're here to play the game in which you must try to tell truth from fiction Bill what is Dolphins topic tell about her in my dear Sago Everybody loves a mystery who murdered whom what happened to the lost city of Atlantis Why was. John Delaney at the debate I. This week a mystery got solved our panelists are going to tell you about it pick the one who's telling the truth and you'll win our prize the weight waiter of your choice on your voicemail Are you ready to play oh yeah you're all right our 1st mystery in that solution comes from Rodriguez the small town of Kashmir Washington was turned upside down by a missing kid Stuart calm a 16 passed his driver's license test took off for his 1st joyride and disappeared when he didn't come home at 1st I didn't worry much because I just assumed he was enjoying our new Chevy Spark his mother Claire told the local news Mrs Cole may finally called the police when he didn't show up for dinner because it was chicken pot pie night and Stewart never misses that. The people of Kashmir mobilized to find Stewart looking through woods and fields putting up posters and delivering baked goods to the worried family but it was Jeremiah's thin thin a local farmer on his way to pick up some supplies from a store in the neighboring town of Cole's corner who found the boy he pulled up in front of a newly installed roundabout and the intersection of Highway 2 on Highway 2 also and noticed a small red Chevy going around I. Think with an agitated young driver apparently Stewart had driven into a roundabout realized he didn't learn about anything like that and driving school and got stuck going round and around in it for 6 hours. Mrs Cullom a was so happy to have our son back she made an exception and had Popeye night all over again I was going to try to rant about the money grabbing. Their next tour of the mystery demystified comes from Adam Burke we can all agree the only thing worse than a mcchicken Samaj is. I'm a chicken sandwich that someone's already taken a bite out of that was the situation facing an Indianapolis police officer who went to reheat a McDonald's meal at the beginning of his shift only to find someone had preened it I know I didn't eat it said the officer who identified himself to the local press as d.j. Officer d.j. Immediately went to the McDonald's from whence the Samaj originated and demanded to know which car paid in malefactor had sabotaged his sandwich a joint investigation was immediately launched by both the golden arches and the boys in blue just in case anyone in Indianapolis was wondering why it was taken so long to find your stolen car and or deliver your McMuffin. Eventually the perpetrator of the matter catering misdeed was brought to light none other than officer d.j. Himself the employee took a bite out of the sandwich upon starting his shift police said in the statement he returned nearly 7 hours later having forgotten that he had previously bitten the samurai. The discovery has helped to clear up a number of other investigations that d.j. Has been working on including the curious case of who left the front door open. The mystery of the missing t.v. Remote and the baffling riddle of who used up all the toilet paper. With margins of investigation to see what prankster took a bite out of his own sandwich only discover that it was himself your last story of an end of them answered comes from Paula Poundstone when Coral Springs Florida resident Nina and Fred Rue c.e.o. Returned home to their 16 year old son after a dinner out on Tuesday night they were shocked to find a gaping hole in the front door chairs were flipped furniture was in disarray the couch cushions were wet and hemorrhaging farm the refrigerator door was swung wide open exposing its collapsed shelves and empty containers I was so angry Nina. Said Romeo her son was sitting at the computer when we left and there was an eggplant lasagna a 7 layer depth and a poppy seed but cake in the refrigerator to what a half hours later he was sitting there playing for not or whatever it is the apartment was a war zone and there were empty food containers even under the couch however young Romeo insisted he had done nothing wrong and had no idea what had happened feeling on justly accused Romeo stormed out of the apartment slamming what was left of the front door and saw an 11 foot alligator being wrangled into a Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission vehicle when their neighbor saw the alligator coming out of the front door they immediately called the nuisance alligator hotline authorities are not sure why the mammoth predator broke through the roof door and ravage their apartment but Romeo's parents were only mildly surprised that their son never noticed Ok. All right we're going to see. One of these was a real mystery that got solved this week was it from what happened to a lost boy in Washington well it turns out he was just stuck in a roundabout for hours from Adam Burke who took a bite out of a cop's hamburger Well it turns out it was the cop himself or from Paula Poundstone who trashed this house while the teenager was there supposedly playing video games Well it was a large alligator which of these is the real mystery and solution we found out about this week I'm going to do with my no doubt All right well you've chosen Adam story of the cop and the mysterious bite in a sandwich well to bring you the real story we spoke to someone who had covered the police department and the McDonald's investigated because of the video and which thank You that was nice to work Ok the cover of the hamburger mystery in Indianapolis for USA Today Congratulations often you got it right well this. Morning the part that I don't think I tell you then you've won our prize the voice of your choice on your voice. Thank you so much for playing thank you so much for our take care it sure does. And now the game where we ask somebody who has better things to do to do something worse it's called Not My Job there are dads and then there are good dads and great dads but the greatest dads are the sitcom dads the ones with crazy loving families who argue but always end up loving each other more in the end and America's reigning sitcom dad right now is Anthony Anderson of the show blackish He's also the host of tell the truth and a.b.c. Is a veteran actor comedian standup is everything Anthony Anderson welcome to Wait Wait Don't Tell me thank you. So much this is like you said we've done so many things but let's just focus on blackness because there's a huge tradition of like family sitcoms right goes back to God I don't know Father Knows Best and is it like a burden to be right now America's favorite t.v. Dad you know we I just want to get out there we just want to get out there and tell our story again and have fun doing it and hopefully it resonates with an audience the way that it had for the past 6 years and do you do people like assume you're wise because you play a t.v. Dad no one would ever assume but I'm watching. That that's that straight all right that's fine about black is I want to talk to you about the much more challenging and important thing that you do which is hosting a game show. Not only on fumigating show but I don't see the game show with my mother as my sidekick what is. What nobody told me this year your mother is your sidekick you know my mother Mama Doris that that's my that's my real mother the woman at birth to me. And it's funny how it came about I would do or you have to sort of pretty family feud my mother and my sister in law my brother and my. That's on the show Jesus and the 1st Christ to me. Pose to my mother where would I get the magician pull a rabbit out of and without hesitation my mother scream to the heavens. And did so and did they did Steve Harvey give her one of those 5 minute long burning look like you've got a burning last production shut down literally for about 5 minutes rises your own dinner that year and after the show the producer came over to me said Hey Anthony can we talk to you about your mother and I think a guy that told you she was a live wire I do apologize. And they were like No that's just it we want your mother to be on your game show with you to tell the truth and I was like really and they're like yeah what do you think about it I said I think it's great because it gets her off my payroll inputs are on to your. Like you know for someone to tell me how this works on to tell the truth she's like sitting next to you my mother is basically the voice of the people she asked the question that people who are at home I think it was a lot of the celebrity ad this woman this I want to know like one episode we have the woman now woman on the show with the longest fingernails and you know one of her fingernails was a little more than 4 or 5 feet long and my mother asked the question well how do you I think. I'm going to I'm going to say here I don't know your mother but I notice a trend in her company. Now that she's a celebrity has a gun to her head like demanding a bigger trailer than yours now or was demanding bigger trailer wants to get paid more than I do she has an entourage she has her own personal weight maker Oh my God . That was in there yes she she's a fog she is truly a diva We have well and that is the question when you go back. The magician the naked magician. I don't see any other answer. I. Am having now is thinking the same thing I don't know how to go there no disrespect your mother's cleverness for you got your answer and here you are yet here you are more yeah absolutely Now we heard that you are a pretty enthusiastic golfer and in fact you've got with President Obama what was that like. That was one of the best round of golf I've ever played. And is Obama a chatty golf or is he one of those serious golfers who just want to hit the ball and get on the course I know you check which you he talks trash which you. And and I tell you that he took all of our money if you were going to. Be that good rocker it was Chris myself Michael Phelps and President Obama President Obama doesn't hit the ball long off the t.v. It took about $22230.00 yards but he could straight into narrow right down the middle of the fairway and he ended up taking money from our career but that's not to say you say he took all of your money you Chris Paul and Michael Phelps have a lot of money that. We do with. President Obama didn't have a problem taking any of it knowing what it was he like you know so we're going to make this interesting is that was just going to play kind of suckered us into a bit house so we kind of we didn't know if we could approach. My dad with the bet we better amongst ourselves and. We were to you know Obama were great show yeah I'm going to be incredible. And we were right sure Iraq. I don't know what for you right Darren and he commenced to reply. Well I was delighted to talk to you Anthony but we have invited you here and I hope you were warned about this to play a game that this time we're calling you've been sent down to double leg your initials are a a of course which made us think of double a baseball that is the minor league so we're going to ask you 3 questions about minor league ball answer to correctly you want to price one of our listeners the voice of anyone they might like in their answer machine Bill who is Anthony Anderson playing for Eric Christiansen of Anaheim California a local Are you ready here already All right 1st question minor league teams are famous for their promotions right won promotion thought up by the West Virginia Power was stopped before it could happen what was it a animal sacrifice night. In which they were to recreate with a live goat an ancient pagan ritual being a salute to indoor plumbing night in which they would close the bathrooms and ask everyone to use porta potties instead or see Wife Swap night in which everybody had the chance to go home with somebody else Wow I'm not sure yet that's definitely right swapping. Your I'm very certain Yeah you went for the wrong stereotype it's indoor plumbing. Works in your plumbing I thought one of the do this because the idea was you really appreciate indoor plumbing when you don't have access to it but the Health Authority shut them down so they were able to live to see if you'd really appreciate someone else's rights if you've been married wrong or some other people where you are. Here's your next question still to chance you can you can still win this something that's never happened before happened and in Atlantic League minor league game just 2 weeks ago what was it a player swung his bat so hard it came around and hit him in the head so he knocked himself out be. Coach was objected from a game for arguing with a robot empire or c. a Pop fly was caught and carried away by a seagull resulting in the 1st ever bird assisted home run. Baseball player can you imagine so hard that it's ordering him from going ahead and not going to help out all the audience doesn't like that. I don't know if you can hear Anthony but they're all saying it's b m i we're not going to get into one hand and. I admire you sir but they were right back you know he's. Trying our hardest thing we're a robot calls balls and strikes a coach did not like the calls argued and was thrown out by the human Pyar who was monitoring all right you have one more chance to get one right here we go minor league games are known for their shenanigans but one catcher tried something that cost him his job what did he do a he carved a potato to look like a baseball and threw it to trick a runner while holding on to the real ball to tag him out. The he used poison ivy to turn to the opposing pitcher into an actual belly itch or. Or see tired of squatting behind the plate he dragged to Barca laundry out there and just sat there and challenge them to make a move. Are you going to have to go with our group or can you go and pick to get to Parker now you know why you're going to the ball that's exactly right. Thank. You for saying he did this it worked he got the guy out but he was immediately thrown out of the game and his baseball career was over but the best of the potato ball is now preserved in a baseball museum it was such an amazing thing I love it I do to Bill how did Anthony Anderson do it or you know one out of 3 that so. Yeah. And.

White out. There that's not right. Back but you're just forcing me to ask you is this a problem that you have that you cannot control yourself in the presence of white you start wiping out everything you know I mean. When I know it's there and so I. Don't let you know it's right out of my after Is that what you do instead of pressing the home button on your phone you just wipe out the screen if you. Know it's not white and it's can you give me a hint Peter Well let's see Marie's birthday was just last week so it's probably still good bringing in their cakes or eating the bride and kick eating the free food in the office so you get them yes it just seems now is going to. Be in the office and if any if you've worked in an office you know that anything edible no matter hold or gross looking will be devoured from week old birthday cake to that Caribou carcass the vultures are finished. And I according to a psychologist in the Cleveland Clinic the reason we just can't resist this food is in part because office food is free and thus it appeals to our innate desire to get a good deal like yeah that single Eminem has been stepped on so much it's now part of the carpet but it's free private video. How much to do $30.00 cost the us the world food and discovery people like free food in case. You've got it solved yet we're getting to know this is not a study this is Fast Company magazine wondering about this question calling up a psychologist getting guesses as to why it's true that is true if you've ever worked in an office I mean the stuff you would never eat even at home you're like oh my god that bagels been out sitting out all day and I can eat that at all because I go bagel you know usually you cut it in half. And then you do that yeah you know everybody has that they'd like to cut the thing in half and then later strolled by and the other half the time. I came out here to do the series you describe that is the theory of the plausibly segmented donut and the idea is like you can eat a whole down of that's terrible for your gain weight but if you cut the don't and you know parts and eat them with a nuff time between them. It doesn't count as eating a whole done by the way the theory of the segment to Donna is Mary Ann well and I want. To move to a little bit farther Yes. I did Jimmy John's Sonic in the Cheesecake Factory all have foods topping this year's list of what carcinogen. You're Well you're close I'm going to give it to you anyway basically medically inadvisable food was. I have not heard that Harry was medically magically ended lives of every 0 I was in fact it.

Center for Science in the public interest does this every year they announce a list of the worst things you can get at popular restaurants they call the extreme eating awards the the list highlights the worst things you can order for example including the Cheesecake Factory cinnamon roll pancakes which they say are have the equivalent of 2 and a half day's worth of saturated fat or are the same of eating 11 Krispy Kreme donuts.
