Segment 1
The show today is brought to us by Dr. Freedman, and Mike notes that the good doctor will be coming by to assess what can be done for Buzz. Mike notes that he would not do liposuction; but Robb would not rule it out. Buzz says that, as someone who was once overweight and lost it, just a small amount of weight loss inspires further weight loss. This claim Robb refutes.

Mike wonders how the nerd at the White House (Peter Orzag) - who has impregnated one staffer and is engaged to a hottie journalist - is doing it.

They briefly recap last night's team dinner, Mike's cooking, Carla's hosting, and topics about marketing the show beyond their internet community. Oscar enjoyed both the veggies and the meat, as all he eats at home is Hot Pockets. Oscar's Girlfriend arrives to wring everything possible out of THAT double entendre.

They discuss vehicle wrapping, Mike's discomfort with it and the spousal reactions. Cary's lack of confidence in Robb is discussed. Mike worries that Cary doesn't like him, or the enterprise, but Cary didn't think the radio career was a real job, either.

Mariah Carey was again messed up at the People's Choice Awards ... but what Mike really wants to talk about is the movie of the year, an upcoming guaranteed blockbuster -Robin Hood, with Russell Crowe. They debate the qualities of previous Robin Hoods, including Errol Flynn (Robb's favorite) and Kevin Costner (Oscar's!). Mike's enthusiasm is damped on all sides, especially Robb's. They mock Costner's inability to scare up an accent. Buzz puts in a word for the new Sherlock Holmes movie. Mike soliloquizes Russell Crowe, and they all discuss the merits of the Robin Hood story in these financially unstable times.

Mike reiterates that Robin Hood will be the top grosser of 2010, besides Avatar (which is a 2009 film). Results.

Whoops! They forgot to take a break!
