Who's Carl This Time?, Bluff the Listener about how "Sex and The City" still holds influence today, Not My Job about the sport of partridge shooting, Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what are the unexpected benefits of the government shutdown?
Notes
Maz Jobrani answered six Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank questions correctly (including the last one in which Maz's answer of "(David) Cameron's cat" was accepted by Peter Sagal and a bell ding given). Carl stated that Maz had only answered five questions correct. This will not Maz's first run-in with an incorrect answer/point count, as it also happened on the 2012-06-12 show. Unlike the outcome of 2012-06-16's show, Maz would have still come in third place with the correct score count.

Notes
In the radio/podcast version of the show, Mo's edited Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank only had him answering 4 out of 6 questions correctly; even though, Carl stated that Mo answered 6 correctly at the end of the round. That meant that Mo had to have answered the two other (unaired) questions correct.
