Missing hands, missing bodies, missing scientific evidence. This week’s contestants try to fool the panelists:

Hannibal Buress, comedian, currently hosting the podcast Handsome Rambler. He’s boycotted a certain series of movies because of the main character’s name.

Annie Duke, professional poker player and decision-making expert, who gives a new meaning to “nickel-and-diming.”

Father James Martin, S.J., Jesuit priest and best-selling author, who got his professional start at a movie theater.

Our “Real-Time Human Fact-Checker” is Sean Rameswaram, who produces podcasts for WNYC Studios, including Radiolab’s Supreme Court spinoff, More Perfect.
