You will be overjoyed, touched, inspired, and nostalgic when you discover who it is. Producer Bryan embarrasses Laura by outing her YouTube search history and recommendations. He has access to her account so this is especially sneaky of him......

This is one of our favorite games where Laura launches a scenario and we all have to give the lowest price we would do it for.

Erik's car drama has escalated...a lawyer has now come into play! Are tacos truly sandwiches? Laura's Portland trip to visit Charlie and his fiance was simply beautiful.

The coolest surprise yet for Producer Bryan from Erik. It's for his 2nd anniversary with the show! Now, THIS makes Bryan almost pass out.

This is one of the best interviews we've had on the show. Robert Bartko is the lead singer of George Michael Reborn, a tribute band that travels the world putting on a fantastically fun show singing Wham and George Michael songs.

What is something you have never done that most people on this planet have? Laura has a crazy list of things she's never done like watching the movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (isn't that a crime, or something?)

We play a compelling, funny round of the game "What's Your Price," where Laura gives Erik and Producer Bryan scenarios and we all have to write down the lowest price we'd do these things for. One of the scenarios is "What's your price to do a striptease in front of all of us down to your birthday suit?" Another one? "What's your price to leave your soon-to-be spouse at the altar?" And "What's your price to be branded with a hot iron on your butt?" Laura whips out a list of signs that you are off...
