The guys welcome their second female guest ever to The Bunker, the lovely Allison of the Calla. They talk sweet potatoes, refrigeration, dick-grabbing, and delicious Bell's lasagna. Allison offers a different perspective on the ongoing wave of sexual harassment allegations, and they discuss exactly what a creep Matt Lauer really is. There is talk of gender bias in language and double standards. The guys ponder whether or not they have ever sexually harassed any other guys, and boy have they. They talk about video games, the 3rd Amendment, and the Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement, and they end the episode with some Ric Flair sex math.
