This week's episode of the popular radio show was recorded in Chicago, featuring guest host Karen Chee and a lively panel that included judge and scorekeeper Bill Kurtis, along with panelists Shantira Jackson, Hari Kondabolu, and Roy Blount, Jr. The show included a variety of segments designed to entertain and inform listeners, with a special focus on current events and cultural commentary. One of the highlights was the "Not My Job" segment, where Olympic sprinter Allyson Felix participated in a quiz about parking meters, cleverly titled “200 Meters? How about these meters!” This segment showcased Felix's wit and provided a humorous twist on her athletic background. The panelists also engaged in a game called "Bluff the Listener," where they presented three stories about a fitting tribute in the news, challenging the audience to discern the truth. Additionally, Bill Kurtis entertained listeners with three news-related limericks, covering topics such as fashion accessories for the Republican National Committee and humorous takes on wedding costs. The show wrapped up with a lightning round segment, "Fill In The Blank," which covered various news items that didn’t fit into the main discussion, and concluded with predictions about future extravagant events following a notably expensive wedding.
