After concluding the Bluff the Listener segment on the show that aired 2001-08-04, Peter Sagal stated that listeners had written in about the previous show's Bluff the Listener segment in which the story about people collecting air sickness bags was in fact a real thing that 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.
