Who's Alzo This Time?; Panel Questions; Bluff the Listener about an apology from QVC; Not My Job about toilet paper; Panel Questions; Listener Limerick Challenge; Lightning Fill In The Blank; Panelist Predictions: now that brunch is dead, what will restaurants do to get people back?
After Peter Sagal said that the Not My Job questions were about toilet paper, a play on Hernan Diaz's book "Ply", Hernan said that "I am determined to lose". Hernan chose "A" for all three questions, even after the audience shouted out "C" for the first question.
Another instance where all three panelists start in a three-way tie and the first time with Alzo Slade as the judge and scorekeeper.
