Mikey Esparza and the crew argued that Sean Phillips was wrong to call critical Chargers supporters fake fans, while splitting sharply over whether UC Davis protesters who ignored warnings bore any responsibility for being pepper-sprayed. Lauren O'Brien's drunken Wilson Phillips singalong, Jay Isbell's repeated 'well' for 'whale' and caller-written Chuck Norris-style 'J Facts' supplied the show's biggest running jokes. A listener's plan to marry a best friend she did not love so she could have a family and be taken care of sparked a serious argument about honesty, single parenthood, church expectations and settling for security. Kevin Smith explained how Jay and Silent Bob Get Old helps Jason Mewes stay sober, and the show closed with Mikey winning Fox 5's R-Factor and donating his prize certificate plus $100 to an Operation Santa family.

What happened, in order

  1. Fans vs. Sean Phillips

    After Sean Phillips told 'fake fans' to suck it on Twitter, Mikey and the crew argued that paying Chargers supporters can criticize five straight losses without surrendering their fandom.

  2. UC Davis Pepper-Spray Debate

    Lauren O'Brien condemned the pepper-spraying of seated UC Davis protesters, while Mikey argued that the students had ignored repeated orders and warnings before Officer Pike sprayed them.

  3. Free Whaley

    Jay repeatedly pronounced 'whale' as 'well,' prompting an extended riff about killer wells, Free Whaley and Oregon's infamous exploding whale.

  4. The Sandusky Interview

    After hearing Frankie Probst describe Jerry Sandusky showering, wrestling and touching his leg, the hosts said the accumulating testimony and Sandusky's own admissions made the allegations unusually convincing.

  5. The 100-Pound Scrotum

    The crew discussed a Las Vegas man's fear of surgery for a 100-pound scrotum, debated whether they would watch a documentary about it and unleashed a long barrage of crude puns.

  6. Whoopi's Parade Exception

    The hosts mocked Whoopi Goldberg for supporting Occupy Wall Street until protesters threatened to disrupt the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which she framed as an event for children.

  7. Drunk L.O.B. at the Wedding

    The show replayed Lauren O'Brien drunkenly singing Wilson Phillips at a wedding while her boyfriend Matt Commerce tried to steer her back toward interviewing guests.

  8. Parenting in Real Time

    Mikey described correcting his son Jake for pointing at a stranger, then he and Rebecca wrestled with how to explain the difference between a playful falsehood and a harmful lie.

  9. Marriage Without Love

    A listener asking whether to marry a best friend she did not love so she could have a family and be taken care of sparked a fierce argument about honesty, settling, church expectations and single parenthood.

  10. J Facts

    Callers transformed Chuck Norris jokes into grandiose 'J Facts' about Jay Isbell, who gleefully interrupted the show to keep the tributes coming.

  11. Kevin Smith Gets Candid

    Kevin Smith explained that Jay and Silent Bob Get Old mixes comedy with a public sobriety check-in that helps his longtime friend Jason Mewes remain accountable after heroin and OxyContin addiction.

  12. Mikey Wins the R-Factor

    Mikey Esparza won Fox 5's R-Factor, credited Lauren O'Brien, Woodsy and Jay Isbell, and pledged his restaurant gift certificate plus another $100 to an Operation Santa family.
