Thursday 2/25/2010
The morning kicks off with more news on the Sea World tragedy. Next up is talk about those new body scanners at airports that leave nothing to the viewer’s imagination and Jay asked if they are hiring!  Sienna is horrified to learn that her favorite Girl Scout cookies, the Lemony Snickets were rumored to have been tainted and recalled.  This leads the cast to all try some of the cookies save for Lauren, who is grossed out by everyone wolfing down the cookies which she claims the icing is made with anti-freeze. Woods wants a new sports theme song and the gang introduces the Woodsie version of Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger”. Cute intern Suzannah says hello and has a sultry, sexy voice until she pops in that retainer. News about a seedy author promoting his tell-all book on sleazy one time Presidential candidate John Edwards prompts a discussion on whether it’s ok to air someone’s dirty laundry. The Prely-Wed Game is next with Sienna and Todd. The only question Todd misses out of twelve is the one where he tells the world that he “gave her the end of my hotdog”! On Places to Eat you’ll drive far to Rebecca calls in to reveal Mikey will drive to the Del Mar Fair to eat an ear of corn then drive home. Court’s in Session Game is next with Sienna as the Prosecutor and The Kid as Defense attorney. M1’s decide the verdict on whether or not a hubby can get a game room at home or leave it as a spare. Lauren’s TJ Maxx shopping etiquette issues story leads to the annoyance of ‘close talkers’(google Judge Reinhold on Seinfeld episode). To hug or not to hug, that is the next funny debate.  Lauren and Woods can’t get enough Michael Shannon and Re-run jokes then Neil Diamond and Dave Matthews collaborate on one hilarious song!  Lastly Edward James Olmos makes an appearance while the show was talking about the Most Tolerable Chick Flicks.

At SeaWorld Orlando, the hosts described Tilikum killing an experienced trainer and argued whether captivity made the attack inevitable and whether the orca should be released, euthanized, or kept in isolated care. Mikey and Lauren opposed full-body airport scanners on privacy and health grounds, while Woods, Sienna, and Jay said passenger safety justified them; the group also split over whether Andrew Young's John Edwards exposé was public service or profitable revenge. The show's biggest comic bits included eating suspect Girl Scout cookies, repeatedly botching a new Woods on Sports chant, debating extreme food pilgrimages, and improvising a chaotic Neil Diamond encounter with Dave Matthews. Sienna and Todd proved unusually well matched in the Pre-Lywed Game, while Sienna and Woods later represented Cody and Kendall in a mock trial over turning a guest room into a man cave. The crew also condemned Frank Mir's death wish for Brock Lesnar and closed with arguments over shopping etiquette and the most tolerable chick flick.

What happened, in order

  1. Tilikum Kills a Trainer

    The hosts recount how the orca Tilikum dragged an experienced SeaWorld Orlando trainer underwater, then debate captivity, euthanasia, release, and lifelong isolated care.

  2. Airport Scanner Showdown

    Mikey and Lauren call full-body airport scanners an invasive and possibly unhealthy search, while Woods, Sienna, and Jay argue that greater safety is worth the loss of privacy.

  3. The Recalled Cookie Test

    Mikey, Woods, Sienna, and eventually Jay eat supposedly recalled Lemon Chalet Girl Scout cookies on air while Lauren refuses and warns them about imaginary antifreeze and roach contamination.

  4. Woods on Sports

    The crew tries to replace Woods's hated sports intro with an improvised Eye of the Tiger chant, only for Mikey to repeatedly miss the rhythm and words.

  5. Selling the John Edwards Scandal

    The panel argues over whether former aide Andrew Young was performing a civic duty by exposing John Edwards or merely profiting from a scandal that also hurt Elizabeth Edwards and the family.

  6. The Pre-Lywed Game

    Days before their wedding, Sienna and Todd play a relationship quiz that Todd dominates with 11 of 12 matches, missing only her choice of his most romantic gesture.

  7. Food Worth the Drive

    The hosts compare absurd food pilgrimages, culminating in Mikey's wife revealing that he pays fair admission and parking just to buy one ear of corn and leave.

  8. Court Is in Session

    In a mock trial, Sienna argues that Cody deserves a man cave in an unused guest room, while Woods defends Kendall's wish to preserve the furnished room for guests and future children.

  9. Frank Mir Goes Too Far

    The show plays UFC fighter Frank Mir saying he wants Brock Lesnar to die from Octagon injuries and reacts to the threat as shocking and disgusting.

  10. Shopping Cart Etiquette

    Lauren vents about shoppers who block narrow aisles and ignore repeated requests to move, prompting a wider argument about courtesy, personal space, and awkward hugs.

  11. Neil Meets Dave Matthews

    Mikey's cranky Neil Diamond character spars with a Dave Matthews impression, mangles band names, adds a flute, and becomes trapped in a childish copying routine.

  12. Most Tolerable Chick Flick

    Mikey, Woods, Lauren, Jay, and callers argue over Notting Hill, The Notebook, When Harry Met Sally, and The Princess Bride as the best romantic movie a reluctant man could tolerate.
