Mikey, Woods, Lauren O'Brien, and Jay move between celebrity news and comic arguments, including Anderson Cooper cracking up over Gérard Depardieu, Nevin Shapiro's Miami booster scandal, and Christine O'Donnell walking out on Piers Morgan. Mikey argues that O'Donnell must answer questions about views printed in her own book, while the crew debates whether bosses deserve Facebook access and whether Anne Hathaway's paparazzi rap is bold or hacky. Recurring personal bits cover drive-through meltdowns, Jay's confused explanations in 'I'm Glad You Asked,' dog-dominance confessions, and supposedly scientific rock-paper-scissors tactics. High-school friend Kim Yaffe closes with stories of Mikey stealing her orthodontist photo, shooting her yearbook pictures, DJing adult parties, and being a popular funny outsider.

What happened, in order

  1. Anderson Cooper Loses It

    Anderson Cooper repeatedly dissolves into giggles while delivering pun-heavy coverage of Gérard Depardieu urinating on an airplane.

  2. Miami Booster Scandal

    Woods explains how jailed booster Nevin Shapiro allegedly supplied Miami football players with cash, cars, prostitutes, yacht parties, and injury bounties, putting the program at risk of severe NCAA punishment.

  3. O'Donnell Walks Out

    The hosts play Christine O'Donnell's tense Piers Morgan interview and argue that an author promoting a book cannot refuse questions about controversial positions she included in it.

  4. Drive-Through Meltdowns

    A story about a customer raging over tomatoes sparks confessions from Mikey and callers about missing ranch, wrong doughnuts, sour cream, and other fast-food mistakes provoking childish tantrums.

  5. The Boss on Facebook

    The crew debates whether employees must accept a boss's Facebook request and whether restricting a supervisor's access is healthy privacy or an openly aggressive signal.

  6. Anne Hathaway Rap Debate

    Mikey calls Anne Hathaway's paparazzi rap bold and playful, while Lauren O'Brien argues it is derivative and confirms her view that Hathaway is overrated and self-important.

  7. I'm Glad You Asked

    In the recurring child-question bit, Jay struggles to explain déjà vu, sexual bases, papermaking, and the phrase 'in a pickle' while Mikey, Woods, and Lauren deliberately derail every answer.

  8. Barking Back at Dogs

    A boyfriend barking angrily at a startled dog leads Woods and Mikey to admit barking at, biting, and theatrically dominating their own dogs to establish who is in charge.

  9. Rock Paper Scissors Psychology

    The hosts test champion Graham Walker's claims that novices open with rock, avoid repeating a throw three times, and can be subconsciously steered by an opponent's hand gestures.

  10. Kim Remembers High-School Mikey

    Kim Yaffe recalls Mikey stealing her orthodontist photo, photographing her for the yearbook, DJing her parents' parties, helping with her UCLA essay, and being a funny, widely liked outsider.
