Among other topics covered, panelists were asked to tell a joke. Forewarned of this, they each came prepared. Tim Cockey read a hearse related joke passed on to him by Brian, and Ben Rehder took Brian's advice and related the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to him (at a gas station with a hair lip.) Bill followed suit with a gas station joke of his own. Last but not least, Brian explained that in an attempt to tie into his book's themes, he decided not to go with a mobster joke or a squirrel joke but a fusion of the two, as follows:

Mobsters Vinny and Cheech have been socking away their ill-gotten gains in a trunk in the attic. One day they find the trunk open and most of the cash gone. They decide to wait and see if whoever stole the cash will come back. They hide, but don't have to wait long before they hear a rustling in among the cash. They flick on the lights and there in the trunk sits a squirrel. They slam the trunk closed with the squirrel inside.

"Holy cow, Vinny! A squirrel has been stealing our moolah!" 
"We gotta find out where he's been takin' it, Cheech…it's a lotta loot he took." 
"But squirrels can't talk, so how we gonna make him?" 
Vinny snaps his fingers. 
"I got it. Madam Judith, the pet psychic. She lives right down town!" 
So they throw the trunk in the truck of their car and speed downtown in the middle of the night. They drag the trunk thumpa thumpa up an apartment building steps, bank on a door, and eventually it opens a crack. Guns drawn, they kick the door in and there stands Madam Judith in he bathrobe and curlers, her hands up and dismayed.

Vinny kicks open the trunk and there sits the squirrel, terrified. Cheech puts a gun to the squirrels head. 

"Awright, lady, this squirrels stole our money an' you're gonna make him tell us where it is." 

Madam Judith nervously complies, and looks deep into the squirrel's eyes. 

"Where is the money?" 

"What's money?" The squirrel responds. 

"I heard him squeak - whad he say?" Vinny waved his gun at Madam Judith. 

"He doesn't know what money is…I'll explain it to him." So she looks back into the squirrels eyes, and says "Money in about this big, green and grey. Your standing on some, and it belonged to these two men. Where did you take the money."

The squirrel wiggles his nose and replies "I filled two large hollow oak trees with the money, over at the corner of the park, next to the fountain."

She blinks back at the squirrel. "The two huge oaks at the corner of the park are filled with money?" 

"Yes, " the squirrel squeaked. 

"Awright lady," Cheech cocked his pistol, it's barrel against the squirrels head. "Whad he say." 

She looked at the squirrel and then at the money strewn about the floor. 

"He says you guy a pansies and don't have the guts to shoot him."
