Samin Nosrat really wanted to choose "A" as the answer for the third Not My Job question. Peter talked her out of that answer and Samin changed her answer to "B", which was correct.
Bill Kurtis Bill-rolled the listeners by singing a hand-washing song based on Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up". At least on the radio version of the show, they followed it up with the original song as a musical bumper.

Luke Burbank used my name and nickname from his podcast, "TBTL: Too Beautiful to Live" in his Bluff the Listener story. Yes, "Phamdemort" is a play on "Voldemort" and there's a story behind that.
I had originally planned on going to Chicago to be at the live taping for this show. As part of it being my 40th birthday, I also had an opportunity to request which panelists I would like to see on the show. Luke, Faith Salie and Mo Rocca were the panelists that I chose.
