2019 Blooper Reel

MEGAN BASHAM, HOST: Today is Friday, December 27th. Good morning! This is The World and Everything in It from WORLD Radio, supported by listeners. I’m Megan Basham.

NICK EICHER, HOST: And I’m Nick Eicher. Well, Megan, as our movie maven you’ve no doubt heard a lot of examples of what we’re about to air.

BASHAM: You mean bloopers! Oh yeah! I’ve heard plenty of samples from the movies. Of course it’s always hilarious when it’s somebody else’s blooper…

EICHER: Right? 

These always make me nervous, because I know the depth of my own guilt. But, put away the Christmas leftovers and have a slice of humble pie with me. We will hear plenty of our own goof ups, and those those of our colleagues—who are kind enough to consent to let everybody hear their tongues trip up and tangle, some hilarious spoonerisms, you know what those are?

And those moments where we lose track of—what was I talking about??

BASHAM: …and being interrupted by dogs barking, babies crying, cars honking, thunder and lightning…and who knows what else?
