Fan email sparks discussion about Karl's previous observation about the dearth of Chinese homeless people and which of the Top 50 "Freaks of All Time" Karl would like to meet. Ricky and Stephen challenge Karl's interpretations of famous sayings such as, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Stephen questions Karl on what he's learned since his New Year's resolution to learn something new every day. In Monkey News, Karl relates a story about the NYC fire department enlisting a monkey to rescuing people from a burning building.
