Just a reminder that I post photos of the notes that I take when listening to (or when I get a chance to attend a taping of) #WaitWaitDontTellMe on both #Flickr and on my #Pixelfed accounts.

The album on Flickr is sorted oldest to newest entry.

Starting to go through previous #WaitWait shows that I don't have panelists entered into the Stats Database. First up is the Best Of show from December 25, 2004.

Here's when I did finally win Carl Kasell's voice on my voicemail message on the show that aired on 2011-04-23.

I still find it really hard for me to listen to that segment because I hate the way my voice sounds.

Who's Carl This Time?
Carl reads three quotes from the weeks news: Bad Credit? No Problem!; My Big Fat British Wedding; and iSpy.

Listening to #waitwaitdonttellme today, I learned my next hustle could be Palm readings.
(Yes, it still works and I use it daily)

I would not have predicted such an enthusiastic audience at a NPR taping in Richmond Virginia 🥳

That's one more @fieldnotesbrand.bsky.social memo book filled with #WaitWaitDontTellMe notes. I'll need to dig out a new one starting next week.

#WaitWaitDontTellMe 🏒 #NHL #Hockey

From this week's Wait! Wait! ...

SAGAL: This week, after a fight between New York and New Jersey's NHL teams, a blank broke out.

BLOTNICK: A fight.

SAGAL: No, a hockey game.

One of my first servers at home, it ran FreeBSD and hosted the very first version of the #WaitWait Stats Page.

I even wrote an article about installing FreeBSD on the Compaq iPaq desktop for DæmonNews. In fact, it was my first article for them.

Oh, how I missed Carl Kasell saying "Yeeeeeehaw!" to start the Wait Wait on the Trail segment from back in the day.

Bill Kurtis is great, but I still miss the dulcet tones of Carl's voice both as a newsreader and as judge and scorekeeper on #WaitWaitDontTellMe!

Listening to WWDTM and a commercial came on for Ritual Vitamins that claimed their product is, "filled with key ingredients." ...a claim the commercial stated multiple times.

What the actual f**k does that mean?

By the way, the show taped at Carnegie Hall with Rachel Maddow was on 2023-12-15 but the Not My Job segment didn't air until the 2024-01-06 Wait Wait Best Of show 🤓🤓🤓

@qlp I’m curious about the hints and the all-of-the-above questions. Guests often get help. Usually the guests win, but occasionally they don’t. Why is that?

Faith Salie's panelist prediction reminds me of the "Mo Moment" where Mo Rocca kind of wished that would happen during a Listener Limerick Challenge segment back in Feb 5, 2011, which was later included in a couple of Best Of shows.

Limericks
Carl reads three news-related limericks: the King of the Ant Farm; a plane where children aren't allowed to cry or fly; and China mandates family reunions.

When I took notes for those shows, it was before #npr had any kind of transcription of the shows or the transcriptions didn't always note all of the panelists (especially for those speaking in the background or was spoken over by someone else).
