EP. 173.5 — Sklarbro County 78

Phenomenal stand-up comedian Mo Mandel brings the dude energy to Sklarbro County! Mo tells us about how a joke he made at a Mendocino Farms made things eerily awkward, having the worst 49ers fan for a father, and the one run in he had with Katherine Heigl which leads the Sklars to share their Heigl hissy fit story. Daniel Van Kirk brings in crazy stories which include a man who stranded his girlfriend with a knife wielding mugger, a Florida man who bares all with the exception of his poncho, and a Wisconsin man who calls 911 to remove a snoring woman out of his bed. Finally, the guys call up Bruce Jenner who is back in the dating scene.
