This episode was great and also Maz Jobrani is fabulous showman 🥰
This has to be my favorite episode of WWDTM in a long time. Maeve's story of celery is the best! Add to that the fun of a conservative talk radio producer coming on as a contestant and this will be an episode I won't forget anytime soon 😁
I appreciate the information and advice you have shared. https://www.dashboard-anywhere.org/

NPR is the only radio station that can make jokes about Charles Dickens and people still laugh!😅 I love this show!
The woman who interviews Emma's brother has an unbelievably nasal voice. It sounds like a parody.
not really digging the everyone and thing.

Not funny🙄
Wait wait Don't Tell me continues to be the best comedy I have heard. So funny, so entertaining! Bravo!
Stop. Just stop. This is not Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me. This is nonsense. Go back to only REAL WWDTM on my Podcast channel, and put this show on its own thing.
