Paula Poundstone was a bit jealous about the court and lawyer crackdown in Pakistan, particularly that the lawyers were being hit with sticks. Roxanne Roberts asks Paula, "spend a lot of times around lawyers, huh?". This lead to laughter when the listener playing the Listener Limerick Challenge said that she was a lawyer.
Peter Sagal went a bit too far with conjugations of the Hebrew neologism "lecondel", with Charlie Pierce threatening Peter if he did anymore conjugations.
When Paula had a hard time coming up with "Ho, ho, ho!", Peter and the other panelists gave her interesting hints about what mall Santas can no longer say in Australia. The entire bit got really funny when Paula went down the route of what Don Imus said to got him kicked off of the air.
The podcast version of the show the Listener Limerick Challenge and Lightning Fill In The Blank segments were repeated.
