If you’re the type of person who gives your pet a name like “Chairman Meow,” then you’ll be right at home with this week’s games. We’ll combine highbrow folks (world leaders) with the lowest form of comedy (puns), spend a little time in Celebrity A-A, and find out what happens when house musician Jonathan Coulton applies his mellow song stylings to the electric wizard, Jimi Hendrix. Plus, we have the inventor of fantasy baseball, Daniel Okrent, on the show to play a game about the sport’s most hilarious oddities.
