This week the boys discuss the dangers of sugar free candy, jury duty, Chuck loses his groove, Rob's marijuana train set, deep-fried tarantulas, Charles Ramsay's hamburgers, keeping porn in the family, a kid who got her name changed to "Masturbate," driving under the influence, J.C. Penny's "Hitler Tea-kettle," and some damn Chinese kid vandalizing a 3,500 year old religious temple. Aral invites the audience over to watch season four of "Arrested Development," and the boys ask for some incentive to keep it clean. Any thoughts?
