Plus, Mary and Vanessa discuss what it's like having many records but no record player and Jonah explains why he doesn't care what color clothes are as long as they're less expensive.

Finally, in a rousing game of CHANGE.DORK, we discuss the merits of bringing back sour blue Skittles, cell phones in school,and Saturday replacing Sunday as the official brunch day.
