Sienna Farrar opened up about severe postpartum insomnia and the painful decision to stop breastfeeding Sage so medication could help her sleep. Mikey and Steve Woods turned the lighter half of the show into escalating stunts and arguments: Mikey discovered pedicures, Jay Isbell had his head shaved live, and Mikey and Woods sparred over whether a novice who abandons hobbies deserves an expensive Taylor guitar. Woods also opposed Jamie's plan to give their expected son Connor Patrick Woods his own website, while Sienna and the others argued it would help distant family follow the baby's first year. The crew debated a 19-year-old's right to object to his mother's dating life, joked through Jay's pronunciation test, and reacted to the bizarre report of a hickey-induced stroke. Mikey closed with a serious account of childhood abuse, alcoholism, drug use, losing his job and home, and the Christian faith he credits with helping him rebuild his life.

What happened, in order

  1. Sienna's postpartum insomnia

    Sienna described going four nights without sleep, trying acupuncture, and tearfully stopping breastfeeding so she could take medicine that finally let her sleep for six hours.

  2. The fountain fall backlash

    The hosts played an interview with the mall employee whose distracted-texting fall into a fountain went viral, then mocked her complaint that nobody helped and suspected she was laying groundwork for a lawsuit.

  3. Mikey discovers pedicures

    Mikey surprised Rebecca by joining her for a pedicure and manicure, raved about the massage, and endured relentless teasing over his shiny nails and carefully groomed feet.

  4. Jay loses all his hair

    Jay let Mikey and Woods shave his full head of hair live in the studio, including a temporary friar-style bald patch, before the group decided the finished buzz cut actually suited him.

  5. The Taylor guitar argument

    Mikey argued that disposable income entitled him to buy a premium Taylor guitar, while Woods said a beginner with a history of abandoning expensive hobbies should earn that upgrade first.

  6. Jay, pronounce this

    The crew tested Jay on phrases including 'mademoiselle,' 'foliage,' 'chest of drawers,' and 'voluptuous girl,' celebrating his successes and pouncing when he inserted an extra sound.

  7. A son judges his mother's dates

    A 19-year-old asked whether his divorced mother was wrong to bring men home, and the hosts agreed he could express concern but could not control an adult while living in her house.

  8. Connor's personal website

    Woods called Jamie's plan for a Connor Patrick Woods website embarrassing and excessive, while Sienna and the others defended it as a flexible way for distant relatives to follow the baby's first year.

  9. The hickey that caused a stroke

    Sienna reported that a New Zealand woman's neck bruise formed a clot that dislodged and caused a mild stroke, temporarily taking movement from her left arm.

  10. Mikey's testimony

    Mikey recounted childhood sexual abuse, anger, addiction, and losing his job and home before turning to Jesus, then told struggling listeners that recovery had made him confident and grateful rather than hopeless.
