PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Right now, panel, time for you to answer some questions about this week's news. Paula, GM is being criticized for a new feature that allows their customers to do what while they're driving?
P. J. O'ROURKE: (Laughter).
PAULA POUNDSTONE: GM - a new feature. What? There's a toilet? Do you drive from the toilet?
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: No. I'll give you a hint. You know, it's like, ah, man. They'll say the last thing you did before crashing into the light pole was getting a great deal at Sephora.
POUNDSTONE: Shop?
SAGAL: Yes. They're providing you a system in your car that allows you to shop while driving.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)
POUNDSTONE: Yeah.
FAITH SALIE: What?
POUNDSTONE: Yeah.
SAGAL: That's - it's called Marketplace. It's going to be an all-new GM car.
O'ROURKE: Oh, for Christ's...
SAGAL: Think about it. Driving...
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Driving gets boring - we all know this - with the monotonous freeways and the relative infrequency of pedestrians stepping out in front of us.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: So GM has added Marketplace, which allows drivers to use that, you know, screen in the...
POUNDSTONE: That is disgusting.
SAGAL: ...Cockpit of all the cars. It allows them to shop on their dashboards for groceries, plane tickets and the replacement airbags you're going to need in 3, 2...
(LAUGHTER)
POUNDSTONE: Wow. That really is crazy. And yet, at the same time, like, the most American thing, right?
SAGAL: It really is.
POUNDSTONE: It's second only to the carpeted stairs for your dog to get up on the couch.
(LAUGHTER)
POUNDSTONE: I think that's the most American product ever made.
SAGAL: You know what the - no. Clearly, the most American product would be a way for the dog to shop while it's going up the stairs.
(LAUGHTER)
POUNDSTONE: Yeah. Right. Yeah, yeah.
O'ROURKE: With a handgun.
SAGAL: Exactly.
(LAUGHTER)
POUNDSTONE: Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.
(APPLAUSE)
POUNDSTONE: Yeah. Because, you know, I'll tell you something.
SAGAL: Where did this gun come from? My dog bought it while getting up on the couch.
POUNDSTONE: No. Honestly, if more dogs were armed.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Yeah, that's true. Right.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "SHUT UP AND DRIVE")
RIHANNA: (Singing) Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive. Shut up and drive, drive, drive, drive. I've got class like a '57 Cadillac. Got overdrive...
