Episode 1 of our double-header begins with Rich heading off to the hospital to get his blood tested to see if there's been a change in his leukemia remission. If this is not the fodder for recaps, I don't know what is. Nothing says funny like cancer. After the blood is drawn, Rich tells us that he has to sit there and wait for about an hour for the results, and the waiting kills him. But I thought the cancer was what's killing him? Ba-dum-ching! See, comic gold, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to hell. Luckily the perky nurse comes back with good news, and Rich is relieved and heads back to Chez Kirkpatrick.

The guys are in the car, driving to a dance rehearsal. Chris says the only reason he went to bed the night before was so he could jerk off, err I mean wake up thinking about the dancer girls. He announces that yesterday with the dancers was one of the greatest days of his life, and Rich is all like, hold the phone there buddy, that's saying a lot. He's got a point, since Rich only ranked auditioning the dancers as the second best day of his life - below making their music video and above the birth of his first child, remember. Chris really is playing it fast and loose naming the audition as number one. Seriously, VH1 missed a golden opportunity for a flashback there.

At rehearsal, the girls shake their asses while the guys congratulate themselves on such fine choices, Rich and Chris gawk like perverts, and Jeff proves to be a terrible dancer. Overall, the rehearsal goes pretty well and KM is pleased and notes that she thinks the group morale is improving. True, it had nowhere to go but up. Chris mentions that he wants mic stands for their second song, and KM says she can do that. Next is a wardrobe meeting. Angela, the woman of the annoying laugh, is back but thankfully she barely talks. Bryan tells Angela to think "Rat Pack" with his outfit, and after the wardrobe shenanigans she had last time with Bryan, Angela slaps a fedora on his head and calls it a day. The guys try on various articles of clothing, none age-appropriate, of course. Then again, who wants to see a band dressed in golf shorts and polos?

And they're off to Miami! Jeff tells us that the Miami show is important since the audience will be comprised of their fan base, and if those people don't like their music, there's no hope for them. Yep, morale is definitely up. They first stop at a radio station to promote the Mansion show. By the way, I've accidentally typed "Manson" instead of "Mansion" a few times. How awesome would it be if these guys were opening up for Marilyn Manson? They'd be eaten alive.

This intern totally has a face for radio

Once on-air, the DJ asks them a few questions and Rich earnestly says, "At first we didn't know if we were going to take it that seriously, but as we got--" Chris leans forward to interrupt, "It is a joke. It is a joke. It's a joke on us." Jeff shoots Chris a total wtf face, but I would have taken it one step further and punched him in the face. I know Chris was brought in as the biggest "name" and because they needed a place to shoot and he's the only one not living with his parents, but they should really kick his ass to the curb.
