Hey, WaitWait listeners, it's Peter, and I am here with Hina from the How to Do Everything team. Hello, Hina.
Hi, Peter.
The last time we were together, I believe we were both sausages at the Milwaukee Brewers ballpark.
Yeah, we were, and you beat me.

Chapter 2: Who is the special guest this week?
Well, yes. I beat you. Ian beat me. And we were all beaten by that damned hot dog. Oh, my God. Who still haunts my dreams. But today, that's not what we're doing. I am here to tell you about a new experiment from How To Tomorrow. They're going to be having another study break. And that is when they host a Zoom call with 10, just 10, lucky listeners.
Chapter 3: What questions should we prepare for Jason Isaacs?
And this week, they have a very special guest for their study break. Hina, do you want to sort of tell everybody who it'll be?
Chapter 4: What can we expect from the season finale of The White Lotus?
Yeah. So this week, I'm really excited for this one. We're going to be joined by Jason Isaacs, the star of The White Lotus, a.k.a. Timothy Ratliff. The season finale just dropped this past weekend. And I know that I have a lot of questions. So make sure you come to the study break with the full season watch because we're definitely going to talk about spoilers.
And then we can all hang out together.
Can I tell you what I would ask him about if I were there? I would absolutely ask him about Lucius Malfoy because, as I'm sure you all know, he plays Lucius Malfoy, dad of Draco Malfoy, in the Harry Potter movies.
You want to know something so embarrassing, Peter? What? I didn't figure that out until the season finale.
Really?
I was watching it with my friends and they referred to him as Lucius. I had no idea because that's how good Jason Isaacs is at playing multiple characters.
He's a very good actor. People can ask him about Lucius Malfoy. They can ask him about anything they want if they're on the Zoom call. So can you tell people how to do that?
Definitely. So check the show notes of this very episode in your feed. You'll see a link to a Google document. Click that Google document, save it, bookmark it, keep it in your stash. And then tomorrow at 1130 Central, 1230 Eastern, the Zoom link will appear. And if you are one of the first 10 people to click on it, you can join Jason, Mike, Ian, and I, and we can all hang out.
Wow. Join us. This will be fun. The How To Guys and Jason Isaacs.
