Mike and the crew argued that people who claim to be over Facebook still compulsively watch it, and they split over whether Sienna should rehome her jealous dog Zipper. Lauren O'Brien survived the Incorporator by feeding absurd words to computer technician Quinn, while Woods recalled causing roughly $40,000 in hotel flood damage and later ate donuts off filthy or embarrassing surfaces. Callers pushed the Hall Pass discussion into a candid account of a failed polyamorous household, and the hosts also challenged the idea that a young man working as a restaurant host had taken a feminine job. The show repeatedly turned Mike's weight into comedy, especially after Rebecca noticed him winded from running upstairs and a survey said people let themselves go at his exact age, 41.

What happened, in order

  1. Facebook Isn't Over

    Mike and the crew mocked Facebook quizzes and dramatic status updates while arguing that users who claim to be finished with the site are still addicted to watching other people's lives.

  2. Dalai Lama Joke Bomb

    An Australian reporter told the Dalai Lama the 'one with everything' pizza joke, then struggled through the painfully silent failure when the wordplay did not translate.

  3. The Case for Zipper

    After Sienna's jealous dachshund Zipper urinated on the guest bed, Mike suggested rehoming the dog and then jokingly defended Zipper as a client entitled to her pre-baby lifestyle.

  4. Woods Floods a Hotel

    Woods recalled hanging a suit on a hotel sprinkler head, snapping it off, getting blasted with black water, and receiving an initial damage bill of about $40,000.

  5. Lauren's Incorporator

    A visibly shaking Lauren O'Brien called Quinn at Ace Computer Repair and naturally worked eight listener-supplied words—including resurrection, decapitation, duffel bag, fart, chandelier, and chimichanga—into the convers

  6. The Hall Pass Debate

    Prompted by Woods watching Hall Pass twice, the crew and callers debated whether spouses would really grant or use a week away from marriage and whether trust made the offer safe.

  7. Inside a Polyamorous Home

    An anonymous caller described living with a boyfriend and girlfriend, leaving when the couple became controlling, and later choosing monogamy with the father of her child.

  8. Dropped Food Challenge

    Woods ate donut pieces from the men's bathroom floor, Jay's bare belly, and Lauren's sockless shoe before he and Jay exchanged painful groin slaps on camera.

  9. The Staircase Roast

    Mike admitted Rebecca thought something was wrong after he ran upstairs and became winded, prompting an extended barrage of hamburger, hippo, and broken-elevator jokes.

  10. Is Hosting Girly?

    The hosts challenged a father who criticized his 18-year-old son's restaurant-host job, then argued over whether hosting and nursing are unfairly treated as feminine work.

  11. Mashed Potato Club

    Mike spun Woods's real job at a gay-friendly Chicago bar into an escalating series of invented theme nights, contests, drinks, and stories that Woods repeatedly denied.

  12. Letting Go at 41

    A survey naming 41 as the age people let themselves go hit Mike personally, and the crew pressed him about gaining 50 pounds, barely seeing trainer Wendy, and wanting to quit.
