The show moved from celebrity and sports news into two unusually heavy stories: Scott Russo's house fire prompted a Jason Mraz and Switchfoot benefit, while Jeremy Lusk's death prompted P1 Rob's fundraiser. Mikey used the allegations involving Chris Brown and Rihanna to argue that childhood abuse can explain learned behavior without excusing it, then disclosed his own therapy work and fear-driven parenting of Jake. In Cheaters Hotel, Heather's suspicion was confirmed when Zach picked ex-girlfriend Jill for a free Valentine's stay, and he defended himself by claiming they were not truly committed because he and Heather had not had sex. The comic side included the mangled romantic-movie quiz, Eddie mourning Brett Favre's retirement, a Mr. Peanut riff on the salmonella raid, the post-dentist child, Julio Acegueda's ecstatic question to Barack Obama, and the hosts' complaint that American Idol kept Tatiana for drama rather than talent.

What happened, in order

  1. Unwritten Law fire benefit

    Jason Mraz and Switchfoot rushed together a House of Blues benefit after Unwritten Law singer Scott Russo lost his uninsured family home, pets, and belongings in a fire.

  2. Romance list goes rogue

    The hosts turned Sky's list of romantic movies into a chaotic guessing game featuring everything from The Notebook and The Princess Bride to Silence of the Lambs and Return of the Jedi.

  3. Jeremy Lusk benefit

    After reporting motocross star Jeremy Lusk's death from a crash in Costa Rica, P1 Rob announced that his band Feeling of Hate would hold a Santee benefit for Lusk's family.

  4. Explaining is not excusing

    While discussing allegations that Chris Brown assaulted Rihanna, Mikey argued that witnessing childhood abuse can help explain repeated violence without excusing it or reducing the punishment owed.

  5. Mikey meets little Mike

    Mikey described a therapy exercise that exposed his childhood fear of being unsafe and connected it to his overprotectiveness toward his son Jake, including the time he punched himself after accidentally making the infan

  6. Cheaters Hotel catches Zach

    The show's fake hotel offer confirmed Heather's suspicions when Zach chose his ex-girlfriend Jill for a Valentine's stay, then claimed he and Heather were not truly committed because they had not had sex.

  7. Favre retires again

    Eddie reacted emotionally to breaking news that Brett Favre planned to retire from the Jets while the others teased him about whether this retirement would finally stick.

  8. Peanut plant scandal

    The hosts covered the deadly salmonella outbreak tied to Peanut Corporation of America, the filthy plant allegations, and an FBI raid over months of contaminated shipments.

  9. Mr. Peanut calls in

    A mock interview with Mr. Peanut turned the salmonella investigation into an absurd tale about an FBI raid, a confiscated monocle and top hat, and an invasive search.

  10. Post-dentist viral kid

    The crew played and delighted in the viral clip of a heavily medicated child asking whether this was real life after dental surgery.

  11. Julio meets Obama

    An ecstatic Julio Acegueda thanked Barack Obama at a town hall, asked about better benefits after four and a half years at McDonald's, and revealed his ambition to become a broadcaster or disc jockey.

  12. Tatiana survives Idol

    Eddie argued that American Idol kept the loudly emotional Tatiana because her crying and volatility made better television, not because she was one of the strongest singers.
