Mikey, Eddie, Skye, Ashley, and Boston Rob turned pop culture into running comedy through Saved by the Bell nostalgia, a sharp disagreement over the Lost premiere, Tone Deaf Karaoke, and fabricated Larry Fitzgerald and Troy Polamalu facts. They debated Barack Obama's offshore-drilling and clean-energy plans, then contrasted the historic importance of his inauguration with Mikey's demand that inspiration eventually produce concrete results; a fake Obama call exaggerated the new president's everyman image. Eddie delivered brutal Tough Love to three listeners, the crew recoiled at Tyra Banks guests with bizarre eating habits, and everyone argued over whether parents selling Girl Scout cookies teach teamwork or unfair competition. They also marked the first anniversary of Heath Ledger's death before turning the McRib's return into an absurdly patriotic celebration built around Beyonce's inauguration comments.

What happened, in order

  1. Saved by the Spanos

    LT's declaration that he wanted to remain with the Chargers sent Mikey, Eddie, and the crew into an extended riff connecting the Spanos family to Jesse Spano, Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski, and other Saved by the Bell char

  2. Lost premiere fight

    A caller's mixed reaction to the Lost premiere triggered a heated but playful argument in which Eddie wanted answers and the Oceanic Six back on the island while Skye loved the time jumps and Sawyer's shirtless scenes.

  3. Oil versus electric cars

    P1 Lindsay blamed Barack Obama's offshore-drilling policy for a nine-cent gas-price increase, while Skye defended alternative energy and Mikey pressed her on whether electric cars would really become widely available.

  4. Ordinary President Obama

    Mikey's Obama impersonation claimed to be an ordinary American while describing Secret Service tooth-brushing, a shark omelet, Oprah demanding cars for everyone, and George W. Bush's elaborate White House pranks.

  5. Remembering Heath Ledger

    A listener won WEC tickets by identifying the first anniversary of Heath Ledger's death, prompting Skye and Ashley to recall exactly where they were when they heard the news.

  6. Tough Love barrage

    Eddie's Tough Love segment mocked Bryce's girlfriend for rejecting Chinese food, advised Taylor about his girlfriend farting in her sleep, and savaged a 69-year-old listener who disliked the show's impressions and outspo

  7. Tyra's gross eaters

    The crew recoiled at Tyra Banks guests who ate scalp scabs and toilet paper, especially when one woman claimed the paper kept her from using the bathroom for a month.

  8. Tone Deaf Karaoke

    Ashley performed deliberately mangled versions of songs by Ozzy Osbourne, Naked Eyes, Coldplay, and the Beastie Boys while callers struggled to identify them for Royal Rumble prizes.

  9. Cookie-selling parents

    Mikey and Eddie argued that parents who sell Girl Scout cookies at work undermine competition and self-reliance, while Skye and Ashley said parental help was fair if the child also worked and the fundraiser had no rule a

  10. Super Bowl fake facts

    Ashley mixed Larry Fitzgerald's real Walter Camp Award with invented Grammy and No. 1 Dad honors, then Boston Rob claimed Troy Polamalu built a Samoan bridge from his own hair.

  11. Obama euphoria debate

    After clips of Denzel Washington and Beyonce praising Barack Obama's inauguration, Mikey respected the historic meaning of the first Black president but argued that inspiring speeches should not be mistaken for accomplis

  12. McRib mania

    News that a nearby McDonald's had the McRib sent Eddie into ecstatic detail about the boneless pressed-pork sandwich, while the crew repurposed Beyonce's emotional inauguration audio to celebrate its return.
