** One audience member interviewed by Graham mentions offhandedly in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2TAqpa4dBo this clip]] that she had ditched a date to come to the show.

** Creator/ReeseWitherspoon had a bit of a delayed reaction to a Red Chair story where a woman talked about hoovering up a budgie (known to Americans as a parakeet), only getting the full impact several seconds later when Creator/RobertPattinson explained that a budgie is a type of small bird.
