·39 min·3 clips

Sam refuses to imagine his parents having sex, sparking a heated debate over the show's affair poll question.

The episode begins with host Greg Rempe introducing the show and noting technical issues that cut short an interview with Malcolm Reed in the first hour. He previews upcoming guests, including Sam the Cooking Guy and a surprise guest later in the second hour. Rempe discusses the show's history, recalling a past guest, Billy Do-Rag Carroll, who visited the studio 16 years ago and brought homemade moonshine. He updates listeners on scheduling changes, such as postponing a ham segment with Robert Moss until May. Sam the Cooking Guy joins with audio problems, but the host notices 11 Emmy trophies behind him, leading to a lighthearted exchange about awards. The conversation shifts to a 'Would You Rather' YouTube poll question about whether viewers would rather see a parent or spouse having an affair, with Sam expressing strong discomfort at the idea of his parents having sex. Sam then explains how he recreated Rory McIlroy's Masters dinner menu, a project inspired by his son, involving 12 dishes in a 40-minute video. He details specific items like Irish champ and tuna carpaccio, noting that golfers personalize their menus. Sam shares cooking advice, recommending a beer-glazed spatchcocked chicken and flatbread for dinner. The episode concludes with a failed attempt to bring on Rempe's daughter, Marley, due to microphone issues, and a recap of the show's segments. Throughout, Rempe promotes streaming platforms and upcoming episodes, including a best moments show featuring Billy Do-Rag Carroll.
