Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth discussed how Hostel was developed, why its extreme violence worked, and how early viewers reacted strongly enough to require ambulances. The crew staged comic bits around Sean overwhelming a scale, callers failing the Puss Rock Jukebox, Boston Rob's insulting gifts, and Ashley misunderstanding deep-sea fishing. A long caller debate centered on Rachel breaking a low-cost Christmas pact to buy golf clubs and then resenting her husband's slippers, while David Letterman and Bill O'Reilly clashed over Cindy Sheehan, the Iraq War, and the meaning of supporting troops. The show also covered Lindsay Lohan's reported bulimia, drug use, and SNL intervention, then returned to the grave false report that 12 trapped West Virginia miners had survived.

What happened, in order

  1. Hostel Sends for Ambulances

    Eli Roth said two viewers needed ambulances during an early Hostel screening, then described the film's trap of luring backpackers to a supposedly sex-filled Slovakian hostel before unleashing a bloody final act.

  2. Sean Defeats the Scale

    During the show's weight-loss contest weigh-in, Sean's scale hit 326 pounds and then displayed an error, prompting jokes that he needed a truck or veterinary scale.

  3. Puss Rock Jukebox

    Male callers tried to continue soft-rock songs after the audio stopped, but most forgot the lyrics or even failed to name songs they had just sung.

  4. Letterman Versus O'Reilly

    David Letterman challenged Bill O'Reilly over the Iraq War and Cindy Sheehan, while O'Reilly argued that calling insurgents freedom fighters dishonored troops and victims.

  5. Richard Meets Nancy

    Richard Simmons erupted into delighted disbelief when Nancy Grace surprised him on air, joking that he never expected to meet her because he had never committed a crime.

  6. Seacrest Envy

    Mikey reacted bitterly and comically to Ryan Seacrest's reported $21 million E! deal, contrasting Seacrest's looks and career success with his own self-described Hobbit-like appearance.

  7. Golf Clubs and Slippers

    Caller Rachel complained that she bought her husband $300 golf clubs but received plain slippers after they agreed to scale back, and the hosts argued over whether he was thoughtless or she was hypocritical.

  8. Dick Vermeil Cries Goodbye

    The hosts played Dick Vermeil's tearful retirement remarks about his wife and players, then exaggerated his emotional reputation with impressions of him crying over French toast and toothpaste.

  9. Deep-Sea Confusion

    A caller's endorsement of ginger for motion sickness led to a deep-sea fishing discussion in which Ashley revealed she thought the fishermen dove underwater in scuba gear.

  10. Boston Rob's Gifts

    Boston Rob handed out unwanted New England sports gear, gave Ashley One Fish, Two Fish as an insulting first step toward reading, and gave Skye a scarf that triggered a barrage of jokes.

  11. Lohan's Intervention

    The show reported that Lindsay Lohan admitted drug use and bulimia to Vanity Fair and said Saturday Night Live producer Lauren Michaels staged an intervention after her visibly emaciated appearance.

  12. The Miners Were Not Alive

    The hosts revisited the disastrous false report that 12 West Virginia miners had survived, emphasizing the families' brief celebration before learning that only one miner was alive.
