Notes

Previous Listener Multiple Choice segments on NPR.org were labeled as "We'll Wait, You Tell Us" segment, but not for this show. For the first item, the listener contestant chose Charlie Pierce's answer, which was correct. For the second item, the listener chose Adam Feber's answer, which was correct. For the third item, the listener chose Charlie's answer, but Roxanne Robert's answer was correct.

For the We'll Wait, You Tell Us bluff segment, the listener contestant chose Roxanne's answer, which was correct.

Not My Job questions are in multiple choice form instead of open questions or fill-in-the-blanks. Option "C" for all three questions were "names recently given to their children by celebrities".

The clip of shouting Finns replaced the gong sound during Lightning Fill-in-the-Blanks again.
