Summary

Is it OK to steal someone else's discarded room service jam? Is it OK to let friends take me on an all-expenses-paid holiday? Is it OK that my sister-in-law has given her dog the same name as my child? And is whatever the heck is going on in the video for 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' OK?

0:32.4	Because of George Clooney's role in Hail Caesar by the Cohen brothers?
0:36.0	That must be it.
