Mikey, Woods, Lauren O'Brien, Sienna, and Jay turned the Tucson shooting into a pointed debate over whether Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck deserved any blame, while Mikey argued that Jared Loffner's instability ended the inquiry. They predicted Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" would revive 1990s techno and recapped Cam Newton and Auburn's last-second championship win. During Ask the Dudes, they argued with Sarah over how long to wait before sex and warned Michaela not to propose after callers described resentment and rejection. Later, Woods' admission that he parks in accessible spaces triggered the day's sharpest moral argument and a blind caller's rebuke, while Winona Ryder's fear of the internet and Wang Young Fun's horn inspired surreal riffs. They finished by confessing lazy housekeeping, debating Catfish, shredding Cast Away's Wilson scene, and hearing Mikey describe the script notes and perfectionism he would bring to directing.

What happened, in order

  1. Blame After Tucson

    The hosts covered Jared Loffner's attack on Gabriel Giffords and argued over whether rhetoric from Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, or Glenn Beck bore any responsibility.

  2. Britney Brings Back the 90s

    After premiering Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me," Mikey predicted its techno sound would become a smash and restart a wider 1990s revival.

  3. Auburn Wins at the Wire

    Woods relived Auburn's last-second national championship win over Oregon and praised Cam Newton, Nick Fairley, and game-winning kicker Wes Byram.

  4. The Dating Countdown

    Caller Sarah asked how many dates she should wait before sex, prompting answers from three to six dates and Mikey's argument that waiting much longer would make her more desirable to a serious partner.

  5. Should She Propose?

    Michaela considered proposing to her boyfriend of five years, but the hosts and callers warned that doing so could steal a moment he wanted or end in rejection.

  6. The Three-Inch Horn

    Sienna's report about Wang Young Fun's forehead horn became an extended improvised doctor scene and a parade of jokes about other reported human horns.

  7. Woods Takes the Accessible Spot

    Woods admitted parking in accessible spaces for quick errands, defended himself against the furious panel, and finally promised to stop after a blind caller explained the real harm.

  8. Winona Fears the Internet

    Winona Ryder said she avoided computers because browsing frightened her, and the hosts spun her unease into an elaborate gothic-horror character sketch.

  9. Spectacularly Lazy Chores

    The cast confessed to hiding dishes and clothes, rerunning a loaded dishwasher, faking vacuum tracks by hand, and mopping with toilet water.

  10. Is Catfish Real?

    The panel fought over whether Catfish was a genuine documentary and whether a deliberately fake documentary can still be good once the trick is known.

  11. Pick Apart Wilson

    In their new "Pick It Apart" game, the cast dismantled Cast Away's Wilson scene by questioning the volleyball's perfect face, Tom's risky rescue attempt, and the movie's emotional music.

  12. Mikey Directs a Movie

    After receiving a Hollywood script for feedback, Mikey described the documentary-like realism and obsessive detail he would demand if he ever directed a drama.
