Just like a good cigar, the profile of this episode ramps up as the time goes on. The Dominator comes down from the north country and we have a special guest, Long Haul Mark, who schools us on the car carrier business. The laugh-O-Meter climbs in the second half with Matty the Magnificent leading the way. The Hidden Herf almost stumps the panel, they get too many clues.

No rowing was required as we do another episode out on the boat. No fish were harmed (or caught) in the production of this episode. We swear in, or at, a new Hack and have him read some cringe-worthy urban dictionary entries. The Hidden Herf is picked out by Nurse Rick at the 11th hour. The second half of this episode goes in a few directions, but not without a few good laughs.
