PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Right now, panel, it's time for you to answer some questions about this week's news. Peter, a soccer player in Ghana won an award after making a spectacular play during the game. And he started his acceptance speech by thanking what two people?
PETER GROSZ: The guy who bribed him and his mistress.
SAGAL: No. You've got one right.
GROSZ: Oh, he said my mistress and my wife?
SAGAL: That's what he did.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL, LAUGHTER)
PAULA POUNDSTONE: Wow.
SAGAL: He actually - he thanked his wife and his girlfriend. Soccer star Mohammed Anas began his press conference after being named man of the match by saying, quote, "firstly, I appreciate my fans, and my wife and my girlfriend."
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Ironically - and this is true - he won the award because during the game he managed to score two different times.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
POUNDSTONE: Well, you got to have practice at that.
SAGAL: Yeah.
GROSZ: Just the sheer athleticism from him to keep up with all of that...
ROXANNE ROBERTS: No, see, I think it's time management.
POUNDSTONE: It could be the Sleep Number bed.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Have they bought you off, Paula?
POUNDSTONE: You just push a button and it dumps one woman.
(LAUGHTER)
POUNDSTONE: Yeah, and then you push a button again and (groaning), it's a new girl.
(LAUGHTER)
POUNDSTONE: It's just - it's not even numbers. It's wife, mistress, wife, mistress.
GROSZ: Now you know that it's definitely not a real ad for Sleep Number because nobody would be like, you know, Paula, why don't you go on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME and advertise our ability to dump a woman into the basement?
(LAUGHTER, SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "CALL YOUR GIRLFRIEND")
ROBYN: (Singing) Call your girlfriend...
