Topic: Chuck Lorre

The public breakdown of actor Charlie Sheen is analyzed as a business dispute with producer Chuck Lorre rather than a simple mental health crisis. The hosts compare the media's "wacko" narrative to the treatment of Michael Jackson. A debate occurs regarding the ownership of CBS, clarifying it is owned by Viacom/National Amusements rather than Sony.

Television producer Chuck Lorre is using high-speed vanity cards at the end of shows like The Big Bang Theory to broadcast personal and political messages. One specific card, number 240, discusses the producer's views on God and Fox News. The hosts question the legality of flashing text too quickly for the average viewer to read without a DVR.
