SO THE OFFICIAL VERSION IS THIS, THE YEAR ON THE TAPE IS TWENTY TWENTY-SIX, WHICH IS MAD BECAUSE THAT FEELS LIKE THE DISTANT FUTURE, BUT NPR IS OUT HERE TAPING WAIT WAIT LIVE IN CHICAGO RIGHT NOW, AND PETER SAGAL IS HOSTING THE WHOLE THING, AND THEY HAVE HERNAN DIAZ AS THE SPECIAL NOT MY JOB GUEST, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE THEY ALSO LINED UP THREE WHOLE PANELISTS ON THE STAGE, ADAM BURKE, SHANTIRA JACKSON, AND SAM ROCHA, AND HONESTLY THAT IS LITERALLY THE ENTIRE DISPATCH WE HAVE FROM CHICAGO, THEY DID NOT GIVE US A SINGLE JOKE OR A SINGLE QUESTION OR EXPLAIN ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON THE MICROPHONE, JUST THE NAMES, THE CITY, AND THE FACT THAT THE SHOW WENT DOWN. ANYWAY, WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.
