Mikey returned from the holiday break by joking about a presidential campaign for his toddler Jake and describing how he challenged a conservative radio host's claim that powerful cars could not also be fuel-efficient. The emotional center was Boston Rob's Christmas engagement to Sarissa: Rob admitted proposing in his bedroom, Ashley argued that he had selfishly ignored his friends and brothers, and Mikey countered that the decision was ultimately Rob's while interpreting Ashley's anger as hurt. New Year's comedy included Mikey's countdown being derailed by a TiVo channel change and the crew debating unexplained lights seen over Clairemont. The show also condemned a mother who helped fake an Iraq-death essay for Hannah Montana tickets, reacted to the death of police dog Striker during a Coronado Bridge chase, and replayed a woman calling 911 for a babysitter.

What happened, in order

  1. Jake for President

    Mikey's father suggested turning 15-month-old Jake's jobless-toddler photos into a mock presidential campaign, complete with a high-chair press conference and arguments about Huckabee and immigration.

  2. Hybrid Muscle-Car Showdown

    Mikey called a nationally syndicated conservative host to challenge his claim that fuel economy and horsepower cannot coexist, citing a 438-horsepower hybrid Lexus.

  3. Boston Rob's Secret Engagement

    The crew learned that Boston Rob had become engaged to Sarissa after only six months of dating, while Mikey explained that he had first heard the news indirectly from Rob's mother.

  4. The Bedroom Proposal

    Rob revealed that he proposed quietly in his bedroom on Christmas night, prompting relentless jokes from Eddie and the others about the setting and whether he got down on one knee.

  5. Ashley Confronts Rob

    Ashley called Rob selfish for getting engaged despite his friends' and brothers' concerns, while Mikey argued that Rob could consider their advice and still make his own decision.

  6. TiVo Ruins Midnight

    During Mikey's New Year's countdown, the television abruptly switched to a baby channel at the crucial moment, leaving the room stunned and scrambling for the remote after midnight had passed.

  7. Lights over Clairemont

    The show played witness audio about a curved formation of lights over San Diego that even astrophysics students could not identify, leading Mikey to suspect a secret military explanation rather than aliens.

  8. The Last-Name Debate

    Sky said she had asked her husband to consider taking her surname because his carried little family significance, and Mikey fiercely insisted that his existing name was still part of who he was.

  9. The Fake Iraq Essay

    A Texas mother helped her six-year-old falsely claim that her father died in Iraq to win Hannah Montana tickets, then defended the lie by saying the contest never required a true story.

  10. Striker and the Bridge Jumper

    A suspected drunk driver fleeing police grabbed police dog Striker and jumped from the Coronado Bridge, surviving with serious injuries while the dog died.

  11. Nanny 911 Call

    The hosts replayed a Wisconsin woman's bewildering emergency call in which she insisted that 911 should provide her with a babysitter and some friends.
