Live, from Chicago's famous Studebaker Theater, I'm Herringbone Winehouse sitting in for Peter Sagal on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me. Today's guests have all been rounded up by ICE, so Bill Kurtis and I will exchange obscure yet witty barbs while a sad trumpet plays a downtempo version of the Wait Wait theme in a minor key.
This is Ogee Charanjit, and I'm here with Doris Kearns-Goodwin. We are discussing the unprecedented changes in presidential policy in the last 30 years.
All while set to a disco beat.
I'm Calico Morrison, and coming up next on The Delicious Dish, Pete Schweddy returns once again to give us a look at the methods his family has used to raise each pig that goes into a succulent Schweddy Wiener. So stay tuned and open your ears for Schweddy hogs, here on NPR.
First time long time here. Does Pete see the cost of Schweddy Balls going up with current market conditions for North American farmers?
Well I don't see a lot of happy hogs in our future, caller. My balls have never been in greater danger of being trampled by government officials. Imagine all our hogs are one package, and that package is about to be shoved into a dark, dirty, stinking hole. Unless we firmly grab that package and give it some sort of twist, American farmers are going to find it increasingly difficult to raise their hogs in the coming years.
I'm Deathwatch Gershwin and we are now entering our 3 day fund raising drive.

Do people just know names of patterns and have a favorite?
Yea a lot of people do.
I'm Camouflage Meatloaf and this is NPR.
Flashback to when you used to be able to make stuff like this your desktop background, just changing the pattern, color, and if it would fill/tile/stretch etc.

Hm... It says common fabric patterns, so it probably doesn't have that one 90's paper cup pattern. I want to know if that one has a name.

Edit: Answers: only the second one and the last one are from Star Wars. The rest are NPR
I don't know about the rest, but Jek Porkins died for the rebellion during the battle of Yavin, everyone who's seen at least the original film should know this.
Im not a major fan but none of those sound like Star Wars characters to me so imma guess: all NPR?
See, I was guessing all star wars
Hello, I'm Singleton Uematsu, welcome to NPR. Prepare for a major release of applause for the architect behind a truly class-ic framework, a gem of a developer: David 'The Rails Alchemist' Heinemeier Hansson!
What do you mean "we were not talking about software programming patterns"?
