It's another Peter AMA (Ask Me Anything)! Wait Wait visual host Emma Choi puts your questions to the big man himself -- Peter Sagal.

We get answers to those and other questions, including one about Peter's role in the making of "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights"?!?!?Â
This normally would be a bonus episode just for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!+ listeners. With this being the season of giving, we're sharing this one with everyone!

The White Lotus season finale dropped this weekend, and we have questions. And trauma. Maybe you do too? This week, How To Do Everything's "study break" is hosting acclaimed actor Jason Isaacs AKA acclaimed Lorazepam addict Timothy Ratliff.
How to join: save this Google document. At 12:30 PM ET tomorrow April 11th, we'll drop a Zoom link. The first 10 people to click on it will be in a Zoom call with Mike, Ian, Heena and Timothy Ratliff/Lucius Malfoy/Jason Isaacs.
That gives you tonight to catch up on the show. We WILL discuss spoilers. So come studied and with questions!
In the meantime, please send us your "how to" questions! From "how do you parallel park?" to "how do you escape quicksand?" no question is too boring, outlandish or unusual. We can't make the show without you, so don't be shy! Email us at [email protected].

And Saturday Night Live's James Austin Johnson walks us through his hilarious Donald Trump impression to tend to a listener's curiosities. Plus, Mike and Ian are stressed about some (cryptic) hate mail, so they call Patton Oswalt for some words of encouragement.
