Than you know the reindeer you know takes to us women were like way back they were texting each other they were. I'm not really even trying oh well that opinion was noticed by the u.s. Women's cross-country ski team and might in fact have had something to do with their winning the 1st ever u.s. Gold medal in Nordic skiing so.

Yes indeed at the White House. Thank you former colleagues at the Department of Homeland Security as bad as it might be for General Kelly right now in the West Wing it's going to get worse because at this rate he will soon be the only one left that means he will have to do everything from according Fox and Friends. In the morning. To gently removing the Quarter Pounder wrapper from the president's chest and not. Being so careful not to wake you. Know it's true people are leaving this White House like ships fleeing a sinking rat. Ok yes hope ics the press aide who Donald Trump reputedly thought of as a daughter which wouldn't be at all creepy if it wasn't him saying that. Announced she was leaving this week it was a day after she admitted to a House committee that she quote told white lies for the president you know harmless things like things like Good job Mr President you look great Mr President Oh well Mr President I guess you've beat me in Candyland again. You know eventually every one of us it's going to have to be White House communications director. Second through it I want to know what the hell Sarah Sanders did in a previous life to deserve this just the look on her face as she is up there day after day trying to again she signed up for this but on some level I feel kind of bad for her just because it is an impossible task to do that job yeah I don't know I do feel bad for her I think it's an opportunity for her to try different I make up each day. Sometimes it looks like she's wearing a felt board under right. Now hope Hicks might be followed out the door of the West Wing by Gerrard question or he finally lost his security clearance this week and the Washington Post reported that officials in the 4 foreign countries that he is supposed to be in charge of they were overheard by our intelligence agencies talking about how they could take advantage of cushioning quote naivete which Costner said quote is that a French word. Am I in charge or French land. Does anyone know what he is now allowed to look at is it like USA Today pretty much. The level of security Yeah I heard you know you can step out of the hotel room pick up a USA Today read half of it yeah it might be more than that he's still there right yeah he is so so they're passing around information they go not you know and that makes it. So he tosses your tries to peer over the shoulders chair at No. Kelsey here is your next quote It's a good thing if he's a good official it's a bad thing if he's not a good official that was a citizen in China talking about whose decision to stay in office for a life. I. Yes President Xi of China yes President Xi Jinping. Has changed the laws of China so that he can be president for life this is terrific news remember the last time China had a dictator everybody got a cute little red book. China has been moving slowly and slowly toward more freedom especially economically and this seems like a big step backwards for example just as he made that announcement that he be president for life the Chinese government banned certain words on the internet including the words disagree shameless lifelong personality cult and this is true they banned for a period of time the letter and. So many Chinese ordering from Amazon Prime It's terrible what did ban the letter Nobody knows maybe she was playing Scrabble with somebody and he was about to do bananas and triple word score we don't know. Who crazy I mean in all the dictatorships over all the years and surely there's been some weird stuff but is anybody ever banned latter if well yeah I know well it's been done now by Shishak pig president a CIO. All right here is your last quote send in the close. That was Barbra Streisand talking about the big news she made this week when it was revealed that she had cloned her what her dog that's right she had cloned her dog. You know you were right Barbra Streisand would be over that she'd had her beloved dog Samantha cloned twice Streisand said she wanted to do it because she's played a lot of roles in her career but it was time to finally play God. Even Know that could be done if I had done with Dolly the sheep it didn't go like tell you unless you Dolly was fine that's why Dollywood came famous it was successful cloning but if actually does. Right right well all sheep dog. Oh yeah wow so but it's. You know it's cruel Beyond's aren't they may look like them but they still have their own personality do they have their own party was this nature or nurture right yeah Barbra Streisand's probably different with this dog that she was with the other dog and then the dog grows up differently that's what happened with my kids they grew. Precisely right so you want it Fed seems healthy yeah. Bill how did Kelsey do on our quiz healthy got a science lesson tonight didn't help season 3 I know would you go to all right do you all right thank you thank you thank you thank you. It's right now panel it is time for you to answer some questions about this week's news Luke many who feared President Obama would come take away their guns were relieved when they managed to elect Donald Trump who as it happens this week said he wanted to do what. God The irony is so delicious take away their god exactly right. It was a huge thank you we're going to unpredictable moment from Donald Trump which is just what everybody predicted at yet another televised quote negotiation with congressional members from both parties he surprised everyone by spelling n.r.a. Correctly then. He said to lawmakers quote take the guns 1st go through due process 2nd this of course horrified conservatives who love guns and horrified liberals who realize they agree with Donald Trump about something it wasn't surprising though when you think about it Donald Trump has always stood for reaching and grabbing things without asking. Now the backlash to the n.r.a. Continue this week for example a Dick's Sporting Goods announced it would no longer be selling assault rifles This caused a lot of gun people to get angry at Dick's. Liberals to go into the store and say hello I would like to support you could you sell me a sport good. And but this is the this is the beauty part this is the beauty part it led to what may be the single greatest moment in public radio history when N.P.R.'s own Mara Liasson discussed this story on w. N.y.c. Here's the tape a lot more dicks than you thought last night. I was once again N.P.R.'s national political correspondent telling America a lot more dicks than you thought. You know I'm I'm I was I thought that ticks did the right thing and I was really glad they did that and I. Bet you because I think a lot of you know people on the left it's important that I bet you that yoga mats. But I.

The story follows Terry as he's purchased during a Brooklyn brunch by a millennial who chooses him over paying off their student loans or saving for a mortgage. The millennial tentatively to be played by either Kendall or Kylie Jenner actually forgets to eat Terry because she's busily posting pictures of him on Instagram hash tag literally the best toast ever hash tag nom nom nom and she then takes Terry to go where he moves into a refrigerator and makes friends with the other foods in the fridge a king was salad named Harlow and a bottle of expired named Benjamin. Benjamin is terrified of being thrown out because he's expired and the dramatic climax of the film comes when the millennial takes him out of the fridge drinks him and pretends he's delicious because that's what you do with.

Super puppy bowl a mash up of those crowd favorite the Puppy Bowl in the Super Bowl your last story of a movie you do not want to miss comes from Paula Poundstone they are actually making a movie about flame and hot Cheetos. The flame in hot Cheeto was invented by Richard Montana as a former migrant worker he spent years picking grapes thinking what if grapes were hot. People laughed then he became a janitor and fredo away where he met the cheetah. What if it was hot he thought. And could ruin your clothes. Now they weren't laughing now he's a highly successful Frito Lay executive how could this film not sweep every category the not ready for prime time technical awards are surely will surely include several honors for the breakthrough techniques they'll need to get the color of the flame and hot cheetos just right on the screen some age an unsung wardrobe maven will finally be recognized for developing a method to clean the ruinous red flame and hot cheetos stain out of clothing not since Marvel's 1st superhero flick has there been such a brimming pool of sequel and spinoff opportunities.

And now the game where people do an amazing thing and then get to come on here and do a trivial thing it's called Not My Job So if you're an American Winter Olympics fan you probably follow sports where Americans usually win like snowboarding or downhill skiing or different snowboarding. But if you did that you missed the single greatest moment appealing yang when the United States won its 1st ever Olympic medal in cross-country skiing and of course it was the woman who pulled that off Jessi Diggins was the skier who charge from behind to win the gold she joins us now Jessi Dickens welcome to Wait Wait Don't Tell me thank you here are thank you and thank you for graduations How does it feel to be America's sweetheart. I don't know about the hard part but you know. They get to hear that or previously most people didn't know what cross country and now they knew it and yet some people in fact said rather insulting things about it that I know some people didn't quite know enough about it but now they're our biggest fan and that is. So just so you know you'll be glad to know. I got you know I got a rasher from people complaining that you know what did I know and how stupid I was them and they and they were pretty clearly defending you guys in particular they were these girls work so hard they would say so you guys in the cross country team you heard Paul those little insult actually we were in the car on the way with the in Italy and one of my teammates is worth still laughing she had her head phones on you guys you guys you have to live. With that and it would bother you because I got to tell you our fans they may be small but wow their fight oh yeah they were feisty a lot of them wanted bad things to happen to me. I know the really gonna set the record straight you're welcome to come join us any gun you want I will even let you borrow my oh well that would be a bad thing happening to her. I think you're used to training next year I can put wooden slats on my feet. Yeah and even a whole conflict in your hand oh yeah that was one of those and you guys to toe the line at the Sprint relays in Pyongyang did you say to yourselves take this Paula Poundstone. I'm sorry my and my last before this was not you Paul I don't mean sort of right so let's go back a little bit you grew up in Afton Minnesota which is a small town east of the Twin Cities and what how did you find your way into cross-country skiing which as we have determined is not perhaps the most popular winter sport in America and yeah my parents were are into it and so from when I was a baby they would put me in their backpack and go under the date every weekend and so I grew up you know Paul and I my dad character Ling and I must like you know the lead dog or something where you got a great workout like so lucky that your parents weren't into the louche. But. I have to say it is of course a cliché that these sports look easy you look at the speed skating Oh look they're just. Getting a long look at skiing always going to help cross-country skiing looks incredibly hard because you know the funny thing is everyone can do it at entry level Yes Paula even you despite your complaints. I think the cool thing is yeah it's kind of like running a marathon maybe not everyone's going to go and crash a marathon but everyone can run it seems the same thing everyone can try it everyone can go skiing and maybe you don't want to punish yourself as much as we do I understand it's Ok but everyone should get out and try it you got to carry the flag at the closing ceremony which was awesome it was and that was you look like you're having a tremendous amount of fun at the closing ceremony Oh then I really was I was trying not to get too much I was just so excited and like I said of France right in there. With the flag heavy it was actually I didn't realize we were going to be waving waving this like for like 20 minutes so I don't know I should have pace myself right. If only you had experience doing some sort of insurance spore Yeah. If you could you could slip in your back and waved it with your powerful legs I got older in the Olympics we saw these commercials based around you which showed the town of Afton Minnesota getting up in the middle of the night to watch you compete Yeah you know the cool thing about that is that commercial was based off of that event because it actually happened back in Sochi the Chilkoot cap they opened their doors at 3 am and they were handing out coffee and all the high schoolers lined up in their sleeping bag on the floor and they projected the relay race and the whole count showed up to watch it and it was the coolest thing I mean I saw the photo and I like person that here it was so cool everyone did actually film it and after Minnesota they did they filmed it in the actual cafe how awesome and now it's 4 years ago of course in Sochi you didn't do as well as you did this year of course and so I mean after everybody got up in the middle of night to watch you. With a like you better win this time Jesse. Yeah if we're going Poppy at 3 and you better make it with you if you did well Jesse Diggins we're delighted to talk to you we've invited you here to play a game we're calling hey I rolled up and oh dear me so you clearly know how to ski but do you know how to ski ball.

It was the candy Yeah he tried to invent a candy as a health food but couldn't quite get it right sadly he should he just had to wait 100 years for going to the bars. All right he still 2 chances there has been a skeeball revival recently pushed by a Brooklyn based league that spread all over the country they popularized the game with young people of all kinds but this league had a setback when they were suddenly sued by whom a player who tried to put a ball in his mouth and then could not get it out to be a champion player from San Francisco who said based on his scores he deserved more than 1000 kewpie dolls and or 1000000 chinese finger trap. Or c. The skeeball company. I guess you might make That's right it was the ski Go company. They were Ok they were justifiably upset that their product did once again become popular so. I sued the people who did that for copyright infringement. All right you have one more chance to get this right you win skeeball success back when it started in the arcades of early 20th century America inspired a lot of knock offs which of these was a real fake skeeball you could have found in a disreputable arcade a ball let be hurdle hop or see Pamlico tango.
