A Chicago Office Torn Asunder: The Afternoon Shift Vs. Wait Wait

Chicago Public radio's The Afternoon Shift made it through the first round of the second annual Public Radio Bracket Madness. Huzzah! Unfortunately that means they're now head to head with another Chicago-based NPR show, the incredibly popular Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me. Both shows work out of the same Chicago office so we love to envision Perter Sagal throwing spitballs across the office at The Afternoon Shift crew.

The Afternoon Shift knows they are the underdog in this contest, but that hasn't stopped them from making a video to try and rally the public to support them into the next round. Five words: Justin Kaufmann on a horse.

He really nails that dismount.
