Mikey recalled tormenting program director Greg Stevens with death pantomimes and answering-machine impersonations, while the cast argued over when jokes about coworkers cross a line. Woodsy won a $100 listener-decided wager over whether he had called Notre Dame 'a' or 'the' top ESPN story, then panicked after airing Lauren O'Brien's private story about flirting with ukulele player Jake Shimabukuro. The show also staged the Incorporator call to a 99-cent store, learned about Woodsy's lucrative stint at the Mashed Potato Club, and heard Mikey's father unexpectedly say he loved him. On serious ground, Mikey used his own recovery experience to explain why Ted Williams left rehab, and later the group dissected Taylor Swift's grievance songs and argued over John Mayer's responsibility for dating her at 19.

What happened, in order

  1. Death by Staff Meeting

    Mikey recalled pantomiming increasingly elaborate ways to die during Greg Stevens's painfully slow meetings and later impersonating the program director in fake answering-machine messages.

  2. Why Ted Williams Left Rehab

    After Ted Williams quit rehab after 12 days, Mikey drew on his own alcoholism and recovery to explain why addiction can outweigh jobs, housing, family, and sudden fame.

  3. A or The for $100

    Mikey and Woodsy wagered $100 over whether Woodsy had called Notre Dame's win 'a top story' or 'the top story,' replayed the murky tape repeatedly, and let listeners award the money to Woodsy.

  4. Black Swan Family Night

    Jay described squirming through Black Swan's explicit scenes beside his wife and adult daughter, prompting stories about other catastrophically awkward parent-child movie nights.

  5. The Ukulele Crush Leak

    Woodsy aired Lauren O'Brien's private story about sending ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro a flirty MySpace message, then flooded her phone with apologies when she let him think she was furious.

  6. The 99-Cent Incorporator

    Using Jay's voice, Woodsy called a 99-cent store and smoothly worked buoy, ukulele, treehouse, porthole, gas station, harmonica, meatloaf, and waistband into one absurd conversation.

  7. Dad Finally Says It

    A search for an M1 nickname turned into a call with Mikey's parents, ending with his usually reserved father unexpectedly telling Mikey that he loved him.

  8. The Mashed Potato Club

    Woodsy revealed that he made excellent money bartending at Chicago's gay-friendly Mashed Potato Club, including one unforgettable Halloween drag show witnessed by his mortified father.

  9. Picking Apart Taylor Swift

    The cast mocked Taylor Swift's recurring blame-the-boyfriend lyrics, acted out timid record-label employees approving 'Mean,' and debated whether her hit formula had become repetitive.

  10. The John Mayer Trial

    Mikey, Rebecca, and the cast argued over whether 19-year-old Taylor Swift was exploited by John Mayer or knowingly dated a notorious charmer she believed she could change.

  11. The Incinerated Martin

    The hosts spun a mock tragedy in which Jay supposedly cracked Dallas Green's Martin guitar, refused to pay, and forced them to incinerate it and donate its strings to a ukulele.
