The show's centerpiece was a Chargers pep rally where Boston Rob, dressed as a Steeler, hung from a crane as Eddie, Ashley, listeners and a television reporter hit him for prizes. Stephen Cooper then argued that the Chargers could beat Pittsburgh by stopping the run, pressuring the quarterback and avoiding mental mistakes, while the hosts also broke the news that Trevor Hoffman was leaving the Padres for Milwaukee. Away from sports, Mikey confessed to abandoning foul-tasting antibiotics, Ashley disclosed her fourth date with Ryan Loco, and the crew told the remarkable story of Lava, a dog rescued in Iraq who later helped catch burglars. The sharpest studio argument concerned a husband secretly giving his ex-wife a Christmas present: Mikey emphasized loyalty and his current wife's feelings, while Sky saw a respectful gesture toward the mother of his children.

What happened, in order

  1. The Bread-Wrapped Antibiotic

    Mikey admitted he quit his antibiotics early because he found each pill so foul that he painstakingly wrapped it in warmed, flattened bread before swallowing it.

  2. The Zamboni Millionaire

    Twenty-four-year-old Pacific Beach resident and Zamboni driver Todd Moitz won a $47 million Mega Millions jackpot and chose a $33 million cash payout.

  3. Ashley and Ryan Loco

    After the hosts teased Ashley about Ryan Loco, she revealed that their sushi outing was their fourth date and said they were very compatible.

  4. Lava Pays It Back

    A lieutenant colonel's rescued Iraq puppy Lava later introduced him to his wife and alerted him to car burglars, whom police caught after a chase.

  5. Boston Rob the Human Piñata

    Boston Rob was hoisted from a crane in Steelers gear while Eddie, Ashley, listeners and a TV reporter struck him with a piñata stick to knock loose prizes at a Chargers rally.

  6. Stephen Cooper's Pittsburgh Plan

    Chargers linebacker Stephen Cooper told the rally that San Diego had to stop Pittsburgh's run, pressure the quarterback and play fast, physical football without mental errors.

  7. Food Network in Tent City

    Sheriff Joe Arpaio said Phoenix inmates who complained about cheap meals were given the Food Network, officially to learn cooking but implicitly to show them what they were missing.

  8. The Secret Gift to an Ex

    The hosts debated whether a husband crossed a line by secretly buying his ex-wife a Christmas gift, with Mikey stressing the secrecy and hurt feelings while Sky defended the gesture toward the mother of his children.

  9. Trevor Hoffman Leaves San Diego

    The show reacted with disbelief to the news that longtime Padres closer Trevor Hoffman had agreed to join the Milwaukee Brewers.

  10. Tone-Deaf Karaoke

    Callers tried to identify songs mangled by Ashley in tone-deaf karaoke, including tracks by the Killers, Mariah Carey and Men at Work.

  11. The Panda Fights Back

    The hosts recounted how Beijing Zoo panda Zhu Zhu attacked trespassers, including a drunken tourist who climbed in for a hug and bit the panda back after being bitten.
