When Peter Sagal introduced the fourth clip in the third segment, titled "Listener Contestant Moments", by saying it was from the show recorded at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco that aired on 2011-07-16. The clip was actually from the show that aired a week later on 2011-07-23.
In the first Mo Moment that listeners requested was 2011-06-18's second panelist round discussion about daddy baby showers lead to Mo Rocca saying that having a Hula dancer in the same room as a mother giving birth would be a relaxing agent. Luke Burbank came back asking if that would be something that would be blogged on "MoRoccaTheWorldsWorstObstetrician.net". At the end of that moment, Peter Sagal mentioned that I registered that domain and that it redirects to this site. Woot!
