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?
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.

Who's Bill This Time?, The Trump Dump, Bluff the Listener about someone trying to save a group with dwindling numbers, Not My Job about going slow, Listener Limerick Challenge, Panelist Predictions: what new store will replace Forever 21?
Tom Bodett purposefully butchered the pronunciation of "Worcestershire" while reading this Bluff the Listener story.
Peter Sagal accepted Helen Hong's answer of "paper" for her fourth Lightning Fill In The Blank question. The correct answer was "books about decluttering". Peter would not accept Tom Bodett's answer of "buffaloed" for Tom's fifth Lightning Fill In The Blank question, even after Tom tried to get Peter to accept it. Tom answered his seventh Lightning Fill In The Blank question with "Not the Cubs" and that was accepted by Peter when the answer was in fact the Cubs.
