Correct Luke Burbank
Description

Who's Bill This Time?, Bluff the Listener about a new tourist attraction in Indianapolis, Indiana, Not My Job about locks, stocks and barrels, Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what will be the next terrible thing we enjoy watching happen to rich people?

Notes

Even though Guy Ritchie knew that correct answer for the first Not My Job question was "C", but opted to answer with "B" as he liked it better. At the end of the Not My Job segment, Bill Kurtis said that Guy "got them all right". Although that is correct due to guy knowing all the correct questions, but did not opt to choose the right one for the first one.

Another instance in which all three choices for the third Not My Job question were correct.
