A Wisconsin groomsman punched a woman for telling him to use a plate for meatballs, then retrieved a gun from his car and shot two people — one in the arm and leg, one in the back of the neck.

The episode's signature story: at a Milwaukee wedding, a groomsman was caught eating meatballs with his hands. When a female guest — the bride's cousin — told him to use a plate, he punched her. He then walked to his car, retrieved a gun, returned, and shot the woman in the arm and leg and another man in the back of the neck. Both survived. He's facing 25 years. Henry and Eddie spiral into empathy for the guy (probably drunk, probably old friends-vs-new-life wedding dynamics), then a full meatball-etiquette debate: were they sauced? Because if they weren't sauced, you're wrong to fight him. Eddie suggests future weddings should serve bolognese instead — harder to eat with your hands. Henry caps it by saying the man should have simply been boxed up the meatballs and given them to him. He left a cash envelope addressed to the groom on his way out.
Henry noted that 44% of obese people are below the poverty line, connecting obesity rates to food deserts and economic inequality.

Henry and Eddie derail into a passionate meatball masterclass: bake at 475°F for a quick shell, over-egg the mixture, use half-and-half for moisture, and add breadcrumbs by feel. Eddie counters with frying and putting eggs in mashed potatoes.
