PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Right now, panel, time for you to answer some questions about this week's news. Alonzo, the new X-Men movie, "Logan," came out recently. It's all about Wolverine. That's a superhero with the long, razor-sharp claws. One of the more interesting product tie-ins to this character is a company in the Philippines using Wolverine, perhaps un-authorized, to advertise what service?
ALONZO BODDEN: Wow. Can you give me a hint? Does it involve claws or...
SAGAL: Yeah, well - no, when you buy this service you're going to leave a tip whether you like it or not.
BODDEN: Well, now, that...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Presumably, it's - most effective in the Jewish neighborhoods of the Philippines.
BODDEN: Oh, oh, he's - wow.
SAGAL: Yes.
BODDEN: He's pretty accurate with those claws then.
SAGAL: Yes.
BODDEN: He's circumcising people.
SAGAL: Yes.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
SAGAL: They're using Wolverine to advertise circumcisions.
TOM BODETT: Oh, my God.
PAULA POUNDSTONE: Oh, lordy.
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: Wolverine...
BODDEN: Now, wait, I have to ask, Peter...
SAGAL: Yes.
BODDEN: Is that one at a time? Because Wolverine...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: No, no, man. That's why Wolverine so good at it. It's, like, six at a time.
(LAUGHTER)
BODETT: Boy, and you thought advertising couldn't get worse than what Pepsi just did.
SAGAL: Right.
POUNDSTONE: Geez, that is - I wonder if they'll all start doing it. Like, all the, you know, Marvel characters. You know...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Well, it would be interesting...
POUNDSTONE: You could have a Hulk circumcision...
BODDEN: I hope the Hulk doesn't get involved.
POUNDSTONE: Yeah, exactly.
BODDEN: How bad would it be if you go in there expecting Wolverine and instead it's Thor with a hammer?
(LAUGHTER, SOUNDBITE OF CAN YOU FLOW?'S "DIRT OFF YOUR SHOULDER")
