Daytona 500anniversary getawaycelebrity 911 callmarriage secretsfailed adoptionAmerican IdolRadiohead debatefood contaminationorganic pesticidesdaytonanascaranniversary

Mikey recounted how he talked Rebecca out of a dressed-up anniversary dinner at La Costa, only for Unstoppable and a miserable room-service salad to ruin the night. The show celebrated Trevor Bain's Daytona upset, dissected Frankie Muniz's 911 call about Alicia Turnbaugh, heard a caller discover her husband's secret earlier marriage, and fought over whether Radiohead's Lotus Flower was brilliant or unlistenable. Most seriously, Woods said Chelsea reversed course one week before he and Jamie were to adopt her baby; he described their devastation and vowed to keep trying, while Veronica argued that the setback meant not now rather than no. The mood later swung into an escalating food-contamination marathon before a former pest-control technician challenged the assumption that natural pesticides are necessarily safer.

What happened, in order

  1. Trevor Bain wins Daytona

    The hosts marveled that 20-year-old Trevor Bain won the Daytona 500 in only his second Sprint Cup start after a race featuring a 14-car wreck.

  2. Anniversary plan backfires

    Mikey talked Rebecca out of her makeup appointment and dinner at La Costa, only to strand their anniversary in the room with the disappointing movie Unstoppable and a four-wedge salad.

  3. Frankie Muniz calls 911

    The show played Frankie Muniz's anxious 911 call about girlfriend Alicia Turnbaugh hitting him and trashing his house, then mocked his reluctance to give the dispatcher his famous name.

  4. The marriage nobody mentioned

    A caller said she learned at a family gathering that her husband had concealed an earlier marriage when an uncle casually congratulated him on getting married again.

  5. Adoption collapses one week out

    Woods revealed that birth mother Chelsea decided to keep the baby one week before the birth, leaving him and Jamie devastated after they had bought supplies and planned the trip to Colorado.

  6. Not no, but not now

    Birth mother Veronica comforted Woods with her own account of adoptive parents losing one placement and meeting her three months later, arguing that the setback meant not now rather than never.

  7. Stand-up bass Idol surprise

    The hosts played an American Idol contestant whose soulful singing and electric stand-up bass won over Randy Jackson, Steven Tyler, the other contestants and the studio.

  8. Radiohead taste fight

    Mikey called Radiohead's Lotus Flower nearly unlistenable and weird for its own sake while another host defended it as brilliant and perfect.

  9. Foreign objects in food

    A question about strange discoveries in food escalated into stories about a thumb in tomato paste, a skull in tuna, needles, cockroaches, blood, glass, a used Band-Aid and a chicken artery.

  10. Organic pesticide argument

    A former pest-control technician argued that organic pesticides merely use natural ingredients and can be harsher than synthetic products, challenging the hosts' assumption that organic automatically means safer.
