Mikey questioned why Osama bin Laden's body was never shown and why it was buried at sea, while the room moved from genuine suspicion about the official account into an absurd waterboarding routine led by Jay. Lauren reported that Justin Bieber honored bullied teenager Casey Haynes, and the show also covered a body found in the La Jolla Sea Caves and a news anchor's Obama-Osama slip. After playing Jimmy Fallon's Donald Trump parody, Mikey turned the broadcast into the yacht-rock Michael Shannon Showdio until program director Garrett called furiously and later joked about firing and rehiring the crew. The day's fiercest argument came from an anonymous Big Bear infidelity email: Mikey and Lauren said the cheating spouse must be exposed, while Woods, Sienna and Jay argued that loyalty belongs first to family and that outsiders should not police a marriage.

What happened, in order

  1. The missing bin Laden photo

    Mikey questioned the lack of a public body photo and the rushed sea burial of Osama bin Laden, leading the group into a serious argument about conspiracy theories, Islamic burial rules, Guantanamo intelligence and waterb

  2. Bieber backs Casey Haynes

    Justin Bieber flew bullied Australian teenager Casey Haynes and his family to Melbourne, brought Casey onstage and used the concert to speak against bullying.

  3. Body in the sea caves

    The show reported that snorkelers found a body on rocks inside the La Jolla Sea Caves, prompting an uneasy discussion of the popular swimming area's surf, seals and sharks.

  4. Obama-Osama live blooper

    A television reporter accidentally announced that President Obama was dead before correcting himself to Osama bin Laden, and the hosts defended the one-letter live-news mistake.

  5. Waterfall hike versus grocery run

    Lauren described hiking to Cedar Creek Falls and jumping into the pool below it, while Mikey countered with his own adventure of buying Hawaiian rolls and deli chicken before reluctantly emailing his trainer.

  6. Trump takes credit

    Jimmy Fallon, impersonating Donald Trump, claimed Barack Obama timed the bin Laden announcement to interrupt Celebrity Apprentice and therefore Trump deserved credit for the raid.

  7. The white board-shorts problem

    Sienna described a beachgoer's soaked white board shorts leaving nothing concealed, and Woods admitted his wife once made him add white boxer briefs under a similarly revealing pair.

  8. The yacht-rock takeover

    An Ambrosia performance inspired Mikey to rename the program the Michael Shannon Showdio and abruptly replace the station's format with 1970s yacht rock despite worried coworkers, angry listeners and management texts.

  9. Garrett fires everyone

    After the format stunt, program director Garrett repeatedly fired and rehired Mikey and the crew in a running joke that made his real frustration unmistakable.

  10. The Big Bear cheating dilemma

    An anonymous listener who caught her married brother with another woman at the family cabin triggered a long fight in which Mikey and Lauren demanded disclosure while Woods, Sienna and Jay put blood loyalty and marital p

  11. Miley covers Nirvana

    A caller identified Miley Cyrus as the singer covering Smells Like Teen Spirit, and the hosts reacted as though she had committed sacrilege against Kurt Cobain and Nirvana.
