Mikey returned after a violent household stomach bug and played the crew a recording of his loudly gurgling stomach. Sienna covered Anthony Weiner's leaked explicit photo, Delta charging returning soldiers for fourth bags, and an Indiana husband whose wife exposed an alleged murder plan by posing as a teenage girl on Facebook. The crew interviewed former Yankee Jim Leyritz about the fatal 2007 crash and his book Catching Heat, then argued over whether childbirth counts as a miracle and whether revenue-producing college athletes deserve stipends. Lighter bits dissected ideal hot-dog toppings and fair food, while a freezer call-in escalated from tennis balls and a dead betta fish to placentas, roadkill birds and frozen puppies used as snake food.

What happened, in order

  1. The Gurgling Stomach Tape

    After a violent stomach bug swept through Rebecca, Ryan, Jake, Nita and Mikey, he returned to work and played a startling recording of his own stomach gurgling in bed.

  2. Weiner Photo Goes Public

    Sienna explained that Andrew Breitbart showed Anthony Weiner's explicit photo to Opie and Anthony, who photographed the image on his phone and published it as calls for Weiner's resignation grew.

  3. Delta Charges Returning Soldiers

    The hosts discussed 34 soldiers returning from Afghanistan being charged $2,800 total by Delta for authorized fourth bags, then noted that the airline dropped the fees after their video caused a backlash.

  4. Reality Show Contract Demands Drama

    A caller said a female DJ classmate rejected an alleged reality-show contract that demanded three fights a month and a storyline in which one cast member slept with another's partner.

  5. Jim Leyritz on Baseball and the Crash

    Woods interviewed former Yankee and Padre Jim Leyritz about his pivotal 1996 World Series home run, the fatal 2007 collision that changed his life, and the safety message behind his memoir Catching Heat.

  6. Sharktown Buffet

    A seven-gill shark test-bit a La Jolla spearfisher's wetsuit near a carried bass, prompting Mikey, Sienna and Lauren O'Brien to argue over whether seals or risky diving made Children's Pool a 'Sharktown Buffet.'

  7. The Perfect Hot Dog

    Mikey, Sienna, Lauren O'Brien and Woods compared rigid hot-dog formulas involving mustard placement, onions, sauerkraut, jalapeños and dill relish while treating ketchup as the central offense.

  8. Deep-Fried Fair Food

    Sienna previewed Chicken Charlie's fried Kool-Aid, brownies, ribs and Thin Mints before the crew recoiled at chocolate corn dogs, fried beef jerky and bacon-heavy creations.

  9. Is Childbirth a Miracle?

    Mikey argued that childbirth is extraordinary but too common to be a miracle, while Rebecca, Sienna and callers said the body's creation and delivery of a breathing child is precisely what makes it miraculous.

  10. Nightmare Freezer Call-In

    A discussion of tuna cans and Sienna's hidden tennis balls escalated as callers revealed a dead betta fish, five-year-old placentas, roadkill birds and frozen puppies intended as snake food.

  11. Facebook Murder Plot

    Sienna told how an Indiana woman posing as a teenage girl on Facebook elicited messages from her husband about tracking her car and allegedly hiring someone to kill her for $10,000.

  12. Should College Athletes Be Paid?

    Mikey said scholarships and the privilege of playing were sufficient compensation, while Woods and callers argued that revenue-producing athletes who cannot take ordinary jobs deserve at least a stipend.
