- The cast is so stunned by the explicitness and brazenness of the next line that they struggle to even paraphrase it on-air due to its inappropriateness, leading to a hilarious, drawn-out attempt to find an acceptable euphemism.

- "[10:14] C: We explode in laughter... Even his friends... started cracking up laughing."
- "[10:29] B: It's so shocking that everybody just started laughing."
- "[10:31] C: So shocking. Everybody laughed. We talked to them for maybe two minutes and then we got up from the table and went somewhere else."
