## Resource

Scott Pelley walked into a staff meeting on new CBS exec producer Nick Bilton's first day, publicly ambushed him in front of the entire newsroom, and got himself fired on the spot. John and the Duchess break down the CBS News meltdown — Bari Weiss, the Pelley termination letter, and why Stephen Colbert losing $40 million a year explains everything.

Fired, charged with a felony, facing five years. John thinks the gun was too far but understands the impulse. Worst Office Microwave Smells — The crew ranks the most offensive break room offenses: fish, Indian curry, burnt popcorn, cabbage, Chinese food, cold tuna at a desk. No consensus. Maximum disagreement. Barbell Murder Case (NJ) — Michael Cleese, 67, beat his wife Stacy to death with a barbell in their basemen…
