Hey, this is Mike, one of the producers at Wait Wait. Every week we tape about 90 minutes of show, of which only 50 makes the final cut. And a lot of the stuff we cut is stuff that won't fit for time reasons, but also for taste reasons. We violate NPR standards or FCC rules, and it can be really tough to make those decisions on what to keep and what not to keep. What you're about to hear was an easy cut. We decided pretty quick that we weren't going to put this on this week's show, but here it is for you. And now it's time for a new segment called Take a Walk with Me, Bill Curtis. Bill knows it's tough being stuck at home, so as a public service to you, our listeners, Bill is

going to take us on a nature walk. So, close your eyes, relax, and enjoy this soundscape of Bill Curtis in the wild. Oh, what a wonderful day in the forest. Ah! Ah! Oh, hello. Nice to see you

again, bird. That's it, cheetah. You do you. Mmm! you. Thanks for the milk, old girl. Oh, squirrel, I know exactly what you mean. Hey, bear, looks like somebody's hungry. Here, have some skittles. Here, have some Skittles. Rawr! Ah, my favorite fishing hole. Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop.

Lester Fish, jump on this hook, why don't you? Eee, eee, eee. Oh, Dolphin, you look so nice in that dress. Zzz, zzz, zzz. Oh, who's this? Hey there, murder hornet. Come here and give old Bill a snuggle. Ah, that was relaxing, but it's time to go back inside.

Thanks, Bill. You truly are our beast master. I fully expected you to kill Little Red Riding Hood at the end of that. Can I just say, does anyone else really hope that that wasn't supposed to have been the segment at all? This Bill just had a cookie from the wrong jar.
