Mike, Woods, Lauren (L.O.B.), and Jay turned the iOS 5 rollout into an argument about Apple fandom, then riffed on Lauren's hatred of automatic syncing by making her computer answer back. On Occupy San Diego, Mike and Woods admitted that they deliberately sought funny interviews with confused protesters, while a caller argued that the stunt cherry-picked the movement and the hosts countered that a protest must communicate its case clearly. The show also revealed Mike's 32-year correspondence with pen pal Mark, played Grab Woods' Junk until Amanda identified a block of cheese, and aired Lauren's tipsy Los Angeles quiz and Whitney Houston recording with J.T. Chestnut. They closed with debates about John Hughes underdogs, drinking body language, the unsafe World War Z weapons seizure, why men resist apologizing, and possessive Facebook behavior after a stranger grabbed Jamie's hand at a mall.

What happened, in order

  1. Lauren vs. Her Computer

    Mike played the voice of Lauren's computer and tried to defend automatic syncing while she complained that every connection launches programs, creates duplicates, and slows everything down.

  2. Apple Store Volunteer

    Mike's breathless excitement over iOS 5 led the others to imagine him happily volunteering at an Apple Store in khakis and a staff shirt.

  3. Cherry-Picking Occupy

    A caller challenged the show for interviewing only three confused Occupy San Diego protesters, and Mike and Woods openly said they chose those interviews because their job was to find comedy.

  4. The 32-Year Pen Pal

    Mike casually revealed that he had corresponded with his Pennsylvania pen pal Mark since age nine, stunning coworkers who had never heard about him.

  5. Grab Woods' Junk

    Blindfolded Lauren reached into a spare pair of Woods' pants while callers asked questions until Amanda correctly identified the hidden object as a block of cheese.

  6. Ducky or James Spader

    The cast argued over John Hughes movies, with Mike defending lovable underdogs while Woods admitted he identified more with James Spader's charismatic jerk in Pretty in Pink.

  7. J.T. Chestnut's Star Turn

    Lauren played her Los Angeles interview with eight-mimosa-deep J.T. Chestnut, who tackled pop-culture trivia and then delivered a chaotic Whitney Houston performance.

  8. What Your Drink Says

    A supposed body-language study let the hosts classify Lauren and one another as flirts, gossips, ice queens, fun lovers, players, peacocks, and browbeaters based on how they held a drink.

  9. Real Guns on World War Z

    Mike described Hungarian authorities seizing 85 incompletely disabled weapons from Brad Pitt's World War Z production, prompting the cast to compare the danger with Brandon Lee's fatal on-set shooting.

  10. Why Men Won't Apologize

    Caller Gabby asked why men struggle to apologize, and Woods admitted that saying sorry to his wife is much harder than apologizing to coworkers even when he knows he is wrong.

  11. The Strategic Facebook Like

    The group decoded wives liking flirtatious Facebook comments as a territorial warning before Woods recalled a stranger grabbing Jamie's hand at Horton Plaza and fleeing when he noticed Woods.
