Boston Rob debuted the layered Carol of the Hams parody, and the crew turned a listener's covert video of Skye at Honey Baked Ham into an elaborate narration contest. Mikey attacked the climate hypocrisy of Democratic candidates taking separate Learjets, while Pat Buchanan argued that American hubris and NATO expansion had fueled Russian resentment and assessed the presidential field. Eddie unpacked the Mitchell Report's steroid accusations, and Boston Rob's courthouse interviews produced both a borrowed-pants drug defense and a stranger's extraordinary claims about his identity and powers. Ashley and Mikey clashed over whether she and Zeth were held to different standards for instant messaging and production mistakes. The show also praised LaDainian Tomlinson's extensive charity work before Mikey closed with a personal account of addiction, loneliness, and Christian faith.

What happened, in order

  1. Learjet Climate Hypocrisy

    Mikey argued that four Democratic candidates undercut their emissions message by leaving the same environmental conference on separate private jets rather than sharing one.

  2. Baseball's Steroid Reckoning

    Eddie reviewed the Mitchell Report's biggest names, including Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds, while the crew questioned whether George Mitchell's Red Sox connection affected the report.

  3. Carol of the Hams

    Boston Rob unveiled a layered Christmas parody built almost entirely from the word ham, and the absurdly catchy recording took over the rest of the show.

  4. Buchanan on American Hubris

    Pat Buchanan told Mikey that American arrogance and NATO expansion had damaged relations with Russia, then assessed Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney in the presidential race.

  5. Ham Sleuth's Skye Video

    A listener secretly filmed Skye ordering at Honey Baked Ham, prompting the crew to post the footage, improvise mock nature-documentary narration, and invite listeners to make their own versions.

  6. The Borrowed-Pants Defense

    In Boston Rob's courthouse bit, a man said police found drugs in pants that were not really his after he voluntarily stayed to be searched.

  7. Courthouse Santa List

    Another courthouse interviewee claimed to be America's only hermaphrodite, described unexplained moving objects, and said his Christmas list asked for identification, credit, loans, and a truck with a camper.

  8. The IM Double Standard

    Ashley challenged Mikey for treating Zeth's on-air instant messaging more gently than hers, turning a small production complaint into a long argument about distraction, fairness, and accountability.

  9. LT Gives Back

    Mikey and Eddie praised LaDainian Tomlinson for giving televisions to wildfire victims, buying game tickets for disadvantaged children, and meeting those children after games.

  10. Mikey's Addiction Testimony

    Mikey described being isolated and addicted to drugs and alcohol at 19, said accepting Jesus Christ saved his life, and dedicated Third Day's Tunnel to listeners facing loneliness or addiction.
