Notes

After concluding the Bluff the Listener segment, Peter Sagal stated that listeners had written in about the Bluff the Listener segment that aired on 2001-07-28; in which, the story about people collecting air sickness bags was in fact something that actually happens. That was the story that the listener contestant chose but it was not deemed the correct story. They are retroactively giving the listener the prize of Carl Kasell's message on their answering machine.
