Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

In just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists - now that we've heard about clear jeans and mud jeans, what will be the next innovation in jean technology?

But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Progressive Insurance with the Name Your Price tool, offering a range of coverage and price options to choose from. Now that's progressive - more at progressive.com or 1-800-PROGRESSIVE. 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. And the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, dedicated to the belief that all lives have equal value and working with partners to help envision a world where every person has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life at gatesfoundation.org.

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, that's Tyler Greene. Our intern is Kijin Higashibaba. Our web guru is Beth Novey. BJ Leiderman composed our theme. Our program is produced by Miles Doornbos and Jennifer Mills Mills. Technical direction is from Lorna White White. Thanks this week to Nick Gibson (ph). Our CFO is Ann Nguyen. Special thanks this week to Dieu Tran, and thanks to Farmer's Fridge for feeding us. Our production coordinator is Robert Neuhaus. Our senior producer is Ian Chillag. The executive producer of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is Mr. Michael Danforth Danforth.

Now, panel, what will be the next big thing in jeans? Roy Blount Jr.?

ROY BLOUNT JR.: Self-dancing jeans. You switch them on, and the next thing you know you're getting jiggy.

SAGAL: I would buy that. Amy Dickinson.

AMY DICKINSON: Mom jeans for men - elastic waistband in the back, padded fly in the front.

SAGAL: And Tom Bodett.

TOM BODETT: Subliminals from Calvin Klein. You'll only think you're wearing pants.

(APPLAUSE)

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

SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Roy Blount Jr., Tom Bodett and Amy Dickinson. Thanks to all of you for listening. I am Peter Sagal, and we'll see you next week.
