BILL KURTIS, BYLINE: From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is WAIT WAIT ...DON'T TELL ME, the NPR News quiz. I'm Bill Kurtis. We're playing this week with Faith Salie, Maz Jobrani and Tom Bodett. And here again is your host at the Wang Theater in Boston, Peter Sagal.
PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Thank you. Thank you, Bill.
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: Thank you, everybody. In just a minute, Bill mixes up a big bowl of rhyme chowder. It's the Listener Limerick Challenge. If you would like to play, give us a call at 1-888-WAIT-WAIT. That's 1-888-924-8924. But right now, panel, some more questions for you from the week's news. Maz, according to a new study, people who want to improve their sex lives might start doing what more often?
MAZ JOBRANI: Swimming.
(LAUGHTER)
JOBRANI: I read that...
SAGAL: You say it with such confidence.
FAITH SALIE: Yeah.
JOBRANI: No, 'cause there was a thing that said swimmers are the best lovers this week. You didn't see this?
TOM BODETT: That was a bumper sticker.
JOBRANI: No.
(LAUGHTER)
SALIE: And it's not true. It's not true because competitive swimming men shave their legs and it makes me feel very uncomfortable.
SAGAL: I'm trying out why...
SALIE: Undulating. They undulate well.
SAGAL: They undulate.
JOBRANI: Think about it. They swim. You're encouraging - there's a lot of...
(LAUGHTER)
JOBRANI: There's a lot of movement in the right direction.
SAGAL: I am so glad our radio audience cannot see the gestures you are making. But let us leave that aside because it is not that.
JOBRANI: It is not that.
SAGAL: It is not that. This is a study that shows that there is a correlation between having more sex than the average person and doing what?
JOBRANI: Drinking coffee.
SAGAL: No. It's like, you know, it also goes - it's even more of an aphrodisiac if you have it with a nice cup of tomato soup.
JOBRANI: Tomato soup.
SAGAL: And? You butter the bread before you fry it.
SALIE: It's like the best thing ever that you feed your children sometimes.
JOBRANI: I feed my children this? Have you been - how do you know what I feed my children?
SALIE: Because every child eats this, Maz.
JOBRANI: Oh, mac & cheese.
SALIE: No.
SAGAL: Cheese is involved.
SALIE: Take out the mac.
SAGAL: This is cheese that is made in what way?
JOBRANI: Fried cheese.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Think about it. It's a fried thing with cheese that you often serve with soup, Maz.
JOBRANI: Oh, grilled cheese.
SAGAL: Thank you.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
SAGAL: According to this study, a dating website called Skout, they surveyed all of their users and they asked them about the frequency with which they have sex and also what they like to eat. And they found that there was a correlation between the people who had the most sex and people who liked to eat grilled cheese sandwiches. This - despite the fact that people who love grilled cheese sandwiches are usually covered in grilled cheese.
SALIE: I'm surprised, honestly.
SAGAL: Really, why?
SALIE: I love cheese but cheese makes you feel logy, doesn't it?
SAGAL: Yeah.
BODETT: I think it's the wrong conclusion. People who have more sex don't spend a lot of time making food, that's what the answer is.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Now I had always...
BODETT: You do a grilled cheese sandwich because you have to. It's like you look in the refrigerator, you've got bread, you've got cheese. You cut the parts off the cheese that are ugly and then you just, you melt it. And what is better after sex than a grilled cheese, right?
JOBRANI: And it's got to be...
BODETT: You know, I have an answer to that - a grilled cheese with bacon.
(LAUGHTER)
SALIE: Agreed.
SAGAL: Faith, thanks to a new ruling by a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice, you can now do what on Facebook?
SALIE: Oh, is it something immoral?
SAGAL: No, it's something legal.
SALIE: It' something legal.
SAGAL: Yes, quite legal. It's part - it's a legal process, in fact.
SALIE: You can - does it have to do with jury duty?
SAGAL: No.
SALIE: Can I have more of a hint?
SAGAL: Well, after you do this, you have to decide how to divide your Facebook friends.
SALIE: Divorce?
SAGAL: Yes, you can serve someone divorce papers on Facebook.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
SALIE: Facebook. Wow.
SAGAL: And this is why it's important. Let's say...
SALIE: Big unlike there.
SAGAL: Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Let's say...
BODETT: That'll sort the friends out in a hurry, wouldn't it?
SAGAL: Let's say you want a divorce, right? And your husband's not answering his phone, he's not answering the door, but you know he's out there because he keeps posting articles from Upworthy on his Facebook page, which is why you want to divorce him in the first place. You can now serve him divorce papers right on his wall.
SALIE: Can you also tag his 20-year-old girlfriend?
SAGAL: You can do that. People have.
(LAUGHTER)
JOBRANI: But just by being on the wall, that's all it needs to do? 'Cause I don't always read everything that's on my wall, so what would...
SAGAL: That would be hilarious. If like you went home and you're like - the house is empty and the kids are gone.
JOBRANI: What's going on here?
SAGAL: What's going on?
BODETT: All your friends know. You don't.
SALIE: Your kids are still sending you a status update that's like dad, it's your weekend.
