When the listener contestant for the Bluff the Listener round mentioned that she was playing the game as a wish list/gift for someone, the discussion devolved from there.
Peter messes up the retired Senator Gary Hart's introduction by stating Gary Hart served 8 years in the Senate instead of 12 years, as he forgot that each term is 6 years and not 4. One of Gary's retorts is "wait, wait... don't tell me." Peter also got under Gary's skin by calling him a "wise old man" instead of a "wise man".
The listener contestant for the second Who's Korva This Time? said that one of his boy-lesque names is "Brandon Vandermuffin".
