The boys roast Alexander's man purse, try to get Mike into a tailored tracksuit (he agrees, for the show only), and settle whether it is syrup or syrup. Michael explains why a suit is the only thing that would make Mike actually hurt somebody.

Then Mike puts the questions to his own wife: a pregnancy craving of mac and cheese, peas and boiled Oscar Mayer hot dogs, her cartoon crush, and why her husband would still drive a 2005 Civic with a billion dollars. Plus two flashbacks to a boys-only show, where the same questions went very badly.

Also: the lobby ambush on Mike, the flight that dropped 10,000 feet, and three months to make a Ukrainian waitress smile.

Guest: Kristeen, back for her second visit.

The three of us spent the opening roasting him before he even logged on. He flipped the whole thing back on us with one question nobody saw coming.

Then he told the story properly: the lieutenant he patched up three weeks earlier, the day it happened to him, the tourniquets, the ambush on the helicopter, and the one image from that day he still laughs about.

Also: why his wife stays off the internet, the P90X years, teaching his 14 year old son to squat, the leg that charges like a phone, and why beans do not belong in chili.

Michael went to a famous pancake house in Myrtle Beach, ordered pancakes over waffles, and ate them plain because asking for syrup would have taken too long.

This is the episode where he explains that decision, and it gets worse for him every time he speaks. Along the way it emerges that the VA has him officially rated for loss of smell, which retroactively invalidates every food opinion he has ever had.

Also: why you say crab and not crabs, and what happens when you get that wrong at the beach.
