Komen Foundation and Planned Parenthood, while Carl went searching for our first guest,  a homeless Iraq vet named JUSTIN PACKARD who inspired us to launch a drive to help homeless vets. But the second hour was prime GTA insanity, as "Tonight Show" comic BARRY ROTHBART returned to the studio for a hilarious discussion of Vanilla Ice's career, bad '80s music, horrible concerts, and things so outrageous we can't even put them in writing!

Edward Vander Pyle's brother) to help us crap all over giant fake plastic dick wearing Mark Walberg, crafty republicans skipping elections/suspending campaigns, and Bare Naked Lady Cruise ship appreciation.
