Tim Kalpakis and Jeff Dutton of The Sloppy Boys are here which is good because I need an audience to discuss the weird thing that happened the day before when we went to the Old Spaghetti Factory after The Renaissance Fair! I wasn't hallucinating I swear! We also discuss Tony Thaxton's "normal" shirt. The Birthday Boys sketch where Mike Mitchell broke his arm, Tim's ice cream hack, Tim becoming a late in life stoner, office snacks, Ben Stiller, BORG's, The Bramble and more. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone!

RJ City, Dalton Castle and Robin Shorr are here in person and nothing is off limits. RJ has a sex question for everyone and it isn't even about the mortifying thing he said to a gal pal at a hotel. That comment was also about sex and Robin and I are still dying a little inside. Did that sentence make sense? Does it make sense that Dalton would occasionally sleep "like a pencil" back in his dating days? And I have a bone to pick with the guys about a little something that happened at the wrestling event I attended the night before. Plus Susan Lucci, RJ's leather pants, RJ's new 'do, Dalton's barfing in my bathroom, sleep bras, platonic naps, Robin's love of logistics, Tony's surveillance photos of me, compliments that move the needle, my famous neighbor and so much more. And a chaotic Owen cameo!

Emily Fleming is here for the first time, fresh from working the door at what I'm pretty sure is a modern-day rave. No one gets my "exchange an egg" reference, not even Jordan Morris who is also here and doesn't have big lunch energy (he's a dinner dude). Daniel and I went to dinner the previous night and a perplexing thing kept happening and I need to talk about it. Was it because of the two tartares? Plus some Good Mythical Morning chat, self-defense, food fears and so much more.

Joel Stein is here and I need to know what he meant by a certain comment he made when we took a photo together. Also he interviewed Leonardo DiCaprio and now ol' LDC hates him and I need to know more about this. Robin is here and you can name any TV show and she pretty much knows everything about it. Also she's attracted to P-22 (RIP). I too ran afoul of a member of the Hollywood Elite: Bam Margera. Also have you noticed cool girls are wearing tons of necklaces? Plus so much more.
