## Resource

Carl Ruiz shows up with birthday presents and Opie immediately questions the colors and whether they were regifted. Mark’s fresh off Vegas with wild stories, Carl somehow wins every dollar back before his wife finds out (and swears by the magical hangover IVs), and then the real interrogation begins: Did Mark Normand actually hook up with Amy Schumer? Opie and Carl go full detective on him. Plus: F*ck the fear-mongering news, your dog is officially getting dumber, fidget spinners are making a comeback, and cheating in school gets defended. Non-stop laughs. This one’s pure chaos. Don’t miss it.
