Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

In just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists to predict - after Brexit, what's the first thing Britain will do once it is single?

But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Angie's List, for more than 20 years helping consumers select local service providers, dedicated to promoting fairness and transparency about local pricing and quality at angieslist.com. Angie's List - home is where our heart is. Whole Foods Market, committed to offering real food in produce departments, grocery aisles, seafood and meat counters and prepared ready-to-eat options. More at wholefoodsmarket.com. And Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles, including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl, with flooring specialists in hundreds of stores nationwide. More at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD.

WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is a production of NPR and WBEZ Chicago in association with Urgent Haircut Productions. Doug Berman, benevolent overlord. Philipp Goedicke writes our limericks. Our house manager is Tyler Greene. Our intern is Kijin Higashibaba. Our web guru, that's Beth Novey. BJ Leiderman composed our theme. Our program is produced by Jennifer Mills and Miles Doornbos. Public address announcer, that's Paul Friedman. Technical direction id from Lorna White. Our CFO, Ann Nugyen. Our production coordinator is Robert Neuhaus. Our senior producer is Ian Chillag. And the executive producer of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is Mike Do-Some-Squats Danforth. Now, panel, what will Britain do once it is single? Luke Burbank.

LUKE BURBANK: Adult braces for everyone.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Amy Dickinson.

AMY DICKINSON: England is going to swipe right on an app called OkStupid (ph) and start sleeping around with other countries.

SAGAL: And Greg Proops.

GREG PROOPS: Sell the French and English tickler.

(LAUGHTER)

BILL KURTIS: Well, if any of that happens, we're going to ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Greg Proops, Luke Burbank and Amy Dickinson. Thanks to all of you for listening.

(APPLAUSE)

SAGAL: We're so grateful. I'm Peter Sagal. We'll see you next week.
