Craig had a rant on the forums and took it personally. Craig recalls that he said that their opposition to a podcast award weren't very good, and one person didn't like that and went to the ScrewAttack forums to complain. Jocelyn invited him onto the show, and he declined. Craig doesn't want to talk to the guy if its not done on the air.

Newsdesk[]
There is a new bar in Beijing that allows customers to release their anger by beating up the servers. The servers won't fight back and the customers get a weapon. The servers are trained to absorb the punishment.
In Texas, Craig thinks that girls are getting sluttier. There is a ban on low cut shirts in schools, removing all cleavage. A man was swimming naked in a lake. Craig is afraid of swimming in lakes. The guy's testicles shrunk, so he went to sit in an office chair, and his testicles got stuck in the chair! The chair had to be cut up to release him. Wes thinks they should ahve cut his nuts.
In Missouri, a man shoved a cell phone down his girlfriend's throat because he was angry and jealous. It turned out she shoved it down her own throat so he couldn't tell who called her. She then blamed him and reported to the police.
