Mikey, Woods, Lauren O'Brien, and Jay mixed pointed arguments with escalating improvised comedy, debating San Diego's Chargers problem, adult theme parties, shared-home compromises, and whether integrity was worth giving up a $50,000 hockey prize. Woods reported the Nevin Shapiro scandal at the University of Miami, while Plaxico Burris explained to Brian Gumbel exactly how he accidentally shot himself in a nightclub. The show's biggest comic turns were Jay's disastrous 'Imagations,' Woods's two-part grocery-store humiliation, and a flight-versus-mind-reading argument with audience member Eric. Mikey also turned a simple hypothetical about heat into a vivid story about surgery, an embarrassing catheter, and abusive hospital care.

What happened, in order

  1. Chargers Stadium Fight

    Mikey and the crew argued that San Diego needed a modern stadium to keep the Chargers, while conceding that the city's fair-weather fans might disappear as soon as the team started losing.

  2. Flash Mob Robbery

    A debate over whether flash mobs are fun turned into a story about teenagers near Washington, D.C., using one to swarm and rob a 7-Eleven.

  3. Miami Booster Scandal

    Woods described imprisoned booster Nevin Shapiro's claims that he showered dozens of University of Miami players with cash, cars, parties, prostitutes, and even bounties for injuring opponents.

  4. Plaxico Tells the Shot

    Plaxico Burris told Brian Gumbel that his gun slipped in a dark nightclub, fired as he grabbed it, and left him realizing he had been shot only when he saw blood soaking his white shoes.

  5. Jay's Imagations

    Jay's deliberately mangled impressions of an East L.A. gang member, a shogun warrior, and a Southern Baptist preacher collapsed into the same bizarre voice and sent the studio into hysterics.

  6. The Pinball Ultimatum

    The hosts argued over whether a man moving in with his girlfriend should surrender his recliner and restored pinball machine, with Mikey calling it part of growing up and Jay insisting compromise must preserve something

  7. Theme Parties Are Lame

    In 'That's a True Statement,' Woods condemned adult costume parties as forced and embarrassing while Mikey, Lauren, and Jay defended them as playful mood-setters.

  8. Woods Flees the Grocery Store

    Woods accidentally exposed himself taking a covert photo of a child in the ice-cream aisle, then abandoned a fully scanned $215 grocery order after discovering his wife had his debit card.

  9. The Twin's $50,000 Shot

    After Nick Smith secretly substituted for twin brother Nate and made an 89-foot hockey shot, the crew split over whether their father was right to reject the $50,000 prize on principle.

  10. Flying vs. Mind Reading

    Woods and Mikey chose flight over mind reading because other people's private judgments would be miserable to hear, while audience member Eric argued telepathy would keep him one step ahead.

  11. Mikey's Hospital Nightmare

    A chairlift-versus-elevator question led Mikey into a humiliating account of surgery in a sweltering hospital, a catheter ordeal, and a nurse named Annie who mocked his requests while he was helpless and in pain.
