Mikey, Woods, Lauren O'Brien, Sienna, and Jay celebrated the show's first year on FM 94.9 by recalling their frantic first morning, then delivered comedy bits built around Jay's flower-shop call, his massage underwear, and an E.T. parody. Sienna explained Egypt's mass protests against Hosni Mubarak, a husband's felony email-hacking case, and Charlie Sheen's home rehab, while the group argued that effective rehab requires structure and contact with other people. An NFL-backed Porn Sunday campaign prompted Mikey to describe pornography as desensitizing and damaging to marriage, and a caller said it had helped destroy hers; in contrast, Mikey framed the Be Different Pact as a kindness movement, and Mean Gene offered to help make it a nonprofit. The hosts also reacted to three-year-old AJ's 911 call that saved Aaron Hay, debated birthday punishment, and heard a student's musical prom invitation to Taylor Swift.

What happened, in order

  1. One Year on FM 94.9

    Mikey and the crew marked their first anniversary by recalling the panic of their debut morning, including a missing website, failed key cards, and almost no sleep.

  2. Egypt's Million-Person March

    Sienna explained the swelling protests against Hosni Mubarak, the military's promise not to fire, and Hillary Clinton's call for an orderly democratic transition.

  3. Jay's Massage Underwear

    Jay admitted wearing unusually silky hiking underwear to a sports massage, giving the others endless material when he said it got in the therapist's way.

  4. The Porn Sunday Debate

    An NFL-backed anti-porn campaign led Mikey to argue that pornography creates false expectations, escalates through desensitization, and can damage marriages, while a caller described exactly that outcome in her divorce.

  5. Jay Takes the Incorporator

    A terrified Jay called a flower shop and successfully worked stiff, umbilical cord, Vaseline, noose, wheelhouse, Cancun, and leprechaun into a mostly plausible conversation.

  6. Three-Year-Old Calls 911

    Three-year-old AJ called 911 after Aaron Hay severed an artery with a chisel, and the hosts turned on Jay when he dismissed the rescue as something the father could have handled himself.

  7. Can You Cancel a Birthday?

    The hosts debated whether serious misbehavior should cost a child a birthday present, with some favoring withheld gifts and others insisting the punishment should remain separate from celebrating the child.

  8. Picking Apart E.T.

    The crew mocked E.T.'s voice, fingers, rotary-phone problem, and repeated phone-home line before admitting the movie still holds up.

  9. Taylor Swift Prom Song

    A high-school senior sang a parody asking Taylor Swift to prom, prompting arguments over whether she should attend, decline for security reasons, or appear remotely.

  10. Charlie Sheen's Home Rehab

    The show revealed that Charlie Sheen would receive rehab treatment at home, and the hosts argued that comfort and isolation remove the structure and peer contact that make rehab work.

  11. The Be Different Pact

    Mikey described the Be Different wristband as a pledge of kindness and love, then accepted Mean Gene's offer to help turn the overwhelmed volunteer effort into a nonprofit.

  12. The Three-Husband Email Case

    The hosts untangled a case in which a third husband faced felony hacking charges after forwarding his wife's emails about an abusive second husband to the first husband, who then sought custody.
