Danny, Space Boy, Quimby, Peaches, and Sanjaya traded stories about Comic-Con, where Space Boy became a costume celebrity, got a Spider-Man comic signed by Stan Lee, and was interviewed by Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Space Boy also promoted his Wizard Rock band, showed off a homemade Scarecrow fear-gas rig, and joined the group in arguing that Heath Ledger's Joker pushed The Dark Knight past Iron Man. The hosts revisited a drunken girls' karaoke night, Nicole's victory in a Mikey Show sound-drop contest, Quimby's recovery of a stolen iPod, and Peaches' frightening teenage SUV rollover. They closed their review of recent radio moments by remembering San Diego's stolen-tank rampage and staging a fierce intervention over P1 Paparazzi's consistently bad calls.

What happened, in order

  1. Wizard Rock at Whimsic Alley

    Space Boy announced that his Harry Potter band Wingardium Leviosa would play the Whimsic Alley store, then shared titles including "Slytherin Girl" and invited the group to the show.

  2. Comic-Con Before Dawn

    Space Boy described arriving at Comic-Con at 5 a.m., finding hundreds of fans already in line, and sleeping on the street, in the lobby, and eventually through an anime panel.

  3. King Nerd Meets Stan Lee

    Danny explained that Space Boy's costume made him a minor Comic-Con celebrity, and Space Boy capped the story by revealing that Stan Lee signed his Spider-Man comic.

  4. Triumph Finds Space Boy

    Space Boy said Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interviewed him at Comic-Con, prompting the group to imagine his appearance on Conan O'Brien and revisit Triumph's brutal nerd jokes.

  5. Scarecrow Fear-Gas Rig

    Space Boy changed from Harry Potter into a movie-accurate Scarecrow costume with a baby-powder fear-gas device and promised to teach a teenage fan how to build one.

  6. P1 Girls' Karaoke Night

    Peaches and Quimby recounted a rowdy karaoke night featuring "Hungry Like the Wolf," Madonna, INXS, Bloodhound Gang, Jagermeister shots, and jokes about the men trying to crash it.

  7. Dark Knight Beats Iron Man

    The group argued over Iron Man versus The Dark Knight, with Danny and a reluctant Space Boy agreeing that Heath Ledger's Joker made The Dark Knight the stronger film despite Space Boy's earlier skepticism.

  8. Sound-Drop Showdown

    The hosts raced around the room quoting Mikey Show sound drops until Nicole outlasted the others, won permanent bragging rights, and claimed the ceremonial ham to the head.

  9. The Stolen iPod

    Quimby admitted finding her missing iPod in a coworker's purse and taking it back, while Mikey bluntly translated her story as deliberately searching a suspected thief's belongings.

  10. SUV Rollover Survival

    Peaches recalled surviving a violent SUV rollover at sixteen, blacking out as the windshield shattered, waking upside down, and escaping with only an elbow wound and seatbelt bruise.

  11. A Tank Crushed Richard's Car

    The hosts connected a caller's memory of San Diego's stolen-tank rampage to Quimby's school friend Richard, whose excuse for arriving late was that a tank had flattened his car.

  12. Paparazzi Gets Demoted

    Quimby and the group tore into P1 Paparazzi's awkward, attention-seeking calls, demoted him to P2, and told him to run future ideas past them before phoning the show.
