Mikey and Eddie first used their Tyrone and Tortilla characters to trap NASCAR author Stephen Mordell in a deliberately provocative reverse-prank interview, with Mordell calmly disputing their invented claims until the hosts turned the accusation back on him. Retired Marine Sergeant Major Jim then explained how he made Jarhead's uniforms and equipment credible and trained Jamie Foxx, Jake Gyllenhaal and their castmates in a four-day desert boot camp. Hypnotist Michael Swenson put Bobby Colonels under and had him deliver an emotional farewell to an imaginary Thanksgiving turkey, then made him repeatedly forget joke punchlines. Bobby finished by impersonating members of the Mikey Show, including Ashley, Boston Rob and a germ-obsessed coworker frightened by a supposedly licked door handle.

What happened, in order

  1. The Reverse-Prank Setup

    Mikey and Eddie explain that Tyrone and Tortilla are fake hosts who ambush unsuspecting interview guests, then choose NASCAR author Stephen Mordell as their next target.

  2. NASCAR Satire Escalates

    Tyrone and Tortilla bombard Stephen Mordell with deliberately absurd racial accusations about NASCAR while he patiently tries to correct every claim.

  3. The Prank's Final Reversal

    After baiting Mordell throughout the interview, the hosts abruptly accuse him of racism when he refuses to give a Black NASCAR driver a different title from any other race-car driver.

  4. The Jarhead Consultant

    Retired Marine Sergeant Major Jim describes how his work on Windtalkers and other films led to a job advising the production of Jarhead.

  5. Actors at Boot Camp

    Jim says he put Jamie Foxx, Jake Gyllenhaal and the other Jarhead actors through four cold days of tents, early physical training and weapons work in Victorville.

  6. What Oorah Means

    Jim explains that Marines use “oorah” as an all-purpose response that can signal motivation, agreement or even displeasure depending on context.

  7. Mr. Turkey's Last Thanksgiving

    Hypnotist Michael Swenson makes Bobby Colonels address an invisible turkey, and Bobby solemnly explains that Thanksgiving will send the bird to the “big house.”

  8. The Missing Punchlines

    Michael convinces Bobby that he is the world's greatest joke teller but programs him to forget every punchline just as the studio waits for it.

  9. Bobby Becomes the Cast

    Under hypnosis, Bobby impersonates his coworkers one by one, exaggerating Ashley's confused speech and Boston Rob's dreadlocks, dating talk and Red Sox obsession.

  10. The Germaphobe Impression

    Bobby's final impression turns a coworker's fear of germs into a comic meltdown after Mikey claims someone licked the studio door handle.
