DJ Lou gets bombarded with 90's slow jams and now hates the genre. Jay loves R&B and knows all the songs that Lou despises. The sexy music leads into stories of young love. Jay lost his virginity after a meatball meal and had an accident that almost ruined the milestone experience. Bob was very young and seduced by an older woman. Both guys grew up in schools that resembled prisons. Many of Jacob's high school teachers took advantage of the students except him.

Today is the day that Howard Stern returns to SiriusXM radio to announce if he is retiring or not and Bobby has the scoop on what the King Of All Media is going to reveal.

Jay has just returned from The Gathering Of The Juggalos and has stories for Sal Vulcano who is filling in for Bobby Kelly. Jay seemed a little fed up with clown rap but enjoyed sucking on balloons full of drugs. | Starting the early 90's, movies were getting made about comedians and their lives on and off the stage. Years later, Robert De Niro made the film "The Comedian." Sal and Jay take a deep dive into this unrealistic tale and wonder if his act would actually work if a real comedian used his jokes. | Jay tells the story of the time he and Christine hooked up with a lady on the Impractical Jokers Cruise.
