Topic: Chris Lee

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie held a two-hour press conference to apologize for the George Washington Bridge lane closures that paralyzed traffic in Fort Lee.

The media coverage of the scandal is characterized as excessive, though Christie's performance is noted for its dramatic tone.

The hosts process a series of listener donations and "karma" requests, including a shout-out for the website "anewwaytowatchtv.com." Robert Stokes promoted the site as a way to watch AMC shows like *Breaking Bad* online following cable disputes. Other donors, including Thomas Lee and Mac Tudor, contribute to the show's "value-for-value" model, with some requesting "douchebag" call-outs for non-donating friends.

Congressman Chris Lee resigned after a shirtless photo he sent to a woman on Craigslist was published by Gawker. The woman, identified as Aisha Callahan, is a blogger and university specialist who sent the photo to the media shortly after receiving it. The hosts argue the situation appears to be a coordinated setup, questioning why a private individual would immediately leak such a photo to a major tabloid site during its website relaunch.

A lengthy segment dedicated to listener correspondence and donations includes birthday shout-outs and "de-douching" rituals for supporters. Notable mentions include an 82-year-old golfer, a donor from Norway with a phonetically challenging name, and various international contributors from Australia and the Netherlands.
