Woods secretly swapped Robitussin for Jay's waffle syrup, and the already medicated, smell-impaired Jay ate it before spending the show making unusually unfiltered jokes. Mikey used clips involving George, Cindy, Casey and Kaylee Anthony, Tom Brady and Chaz Bono to lead arguments about excuse-making, fan violence, gender identity and the responsibilities that come with a public platform. He also told the story of boss Bob delivering a dead-serious company speech in a Darth Vader costume, while Lauren O'Brien admitted clocking Matt Commerce during play-fighting and Jay revealed his bizarre naked-police-dog game with Kim. The deepest dispute came from Pat Robertson's advice about divorcing a spouse with Alzheimer's, with Mikey defending lifelong marriage vows and Jay arguing that an unrecognized partner should not be condemned to years of loneliness.

What happened, in order

  1. The Guilt-Trip Trade

    Mikey used his son Jake and a joking appeal to sympathy to pressure Woods into a fantasy-football trade involving Tim Hightower and A.J. Green.

  2. Brady Says Drink Early

    Tom Brady's advice that Patriots fans start drinking early led Mikey and the crew to argue that the comment was reckless amid a run of drunken fights and assaults at football games.

  3. The Anthony Family Interview

    The hosts played Dr. Phil's interviews with George and Cindy Anthony, contrasting George's blame of Casey with Cindy's repeated attempts to explain or soften Casey's role in Kaylee's death.

  4. Robitussin Waffles

    Woods replaced Jay's waffle syrup with Robitussin, and the sick, smell-impaired Jay ate it thinking it was strawberry syrup even though he had already taken medicine and Vicodin.

  5. Chaz Bono Debate

    Cher's defense of Chaz Bono's Dancing with the Stars appearance opened a sprawling argument over boycotts, gender identity, media attention, and whether the hosts should call Chaz a man.

  6. Who Gets the Dogs?

    A discussion of Jay adding Jasper to his family trust turned into an interrogation of whether Woods and Lauren had made responsible plans for their dogs if they died.

  7. The Darth Vader Meeting

    Mikey recalled his eccentric Rochester boss Bob convening a serious staff meeting in a full Darth Vader costume to explain how the company would conquer its competition.

  8. Webcam Grandparents

    The crew delighted in a viral clip of an older married couple accidentally recording themselves while politely struggling to operate a webcam.

  9. Chasing the Weight Record

    Pauline Potter said she pursued recognition as the world's heaviest woman to publicize her need for weight-loss help, which Mikey attacked as a contradictory bid for fame.

  10. Marriage and Alzheimer's

    Pat Robertson's claim that Alzheimer's can justify divorcing an afflicted spouse triggered a serious dispute between Mikey and Jay about vows, loneliness, sex, caregiving, and whether the disease amounts to a kind of dea

  11. Lauren Goes Action Hero

    After watching Hanna, Lauren O'Brien kept play-fighting after boyfriend Matt Commerce thought they had stopped and accidentally hit him hard enough to give him a headache and fat lip.

  12. Naked Police Dog

    Jay stunned everyone by explaining that he sometimes crawls around naked pretending to be a police dog while his wife Kim plays dead to avoid being attacked.
