What's (arguably) worse than leaving your mic on while you're trash-talking your brother's wife in the CNN bathroom? Finding out that your earpiece is stuck inside your head, and—worst of all—Maria Bartiromo just won't stop talking.

CNBC's Melissa Francis, in for Maria Bartiromo, hosted the first twenty minutes of the 3pm Closing Bell solo because Dylan Ratigan's earpiece was, in his words, "stuck in my head."

"[I] spent the last 20 minutes on an operating table playing Operation to get it out. My nose did not turn red, I'm happy to be here," he told viewers…

Unfortunately for Ratigan, the experience of being thrown on the operating table created a minor instance of Butterflies in the Stomach, which were subsequently removed by tweezer-donning surgeons, along with Ratigan's Wish Bone, Charley Horse and Adam's Apple.
