Mikey, Eddie, Skye, Ashley and Boston Rob mixed comic arguments with interviews, including Skye challenging P1 Hugh's pocketbook-based politics and the crew mocking Ashley's failed cookies. Rainn Wilson discussed Juno, The Office and Schrute Space, while Chuck Liddell promoted his memoir and rebutted Tito Ortiz's account of their feud. Callers supplied celebrity stories, Amber joined a serious argument about post-wedding depression, and Lost fans debated Aaron, the Oceanic Six, Locke and Michael. Barbara Walters' story about Fidel Castro's grilled cheese led to a recipe argument, and Mikey and Skye split over using one's own bone or cadaver bone for surgery. T-Rex recalled sparring with Muhammad Ali before Mikey closed with his account of alcoholism, Christian conversion and recovery.

What happened, in order

  1. Ashley's cookie flop

    Ashley described trying a rave-reviewed chocolate-chip-cookie recipe, only for Eddie and Skye to throw the results in the trash while insisting it was accidental.

  2. Voting by the pocketbook

    P1 Hugh said he favored Republicans because he received raises under them and pay cuts under Democrats, while Skye argued that voters should weigh war and other public issues alongside personal income.

  3. Rainn Wilson after the strike

    Rainn Wilson joked about his four-line role in Juno, said The Office would resume filming six episodes on March 10, and revealed that he personally wrote the Schrute Space blog.

  4. Celebrity encounters

    Callers traded awkward celebrity stories involving Junior Seau changing a baby on a pool table, Steve Martin brushing off autograph seekers, Tonya Harding fighting in a bar, and Hilary Swank reluctantly posing at Disneyl

  5. Chuck Liddell's fighting life

    Chuck Liddell discussed his memoir Iceman, My Fighting Life, disputed Tito Ortiz's version of their feud, recalled an impromptu hotel-lobby fight, and said he wanted a future title shot.

  6. Post-wedding blues

    A newlywed's email and Amber's calls sparked a debate over whether post-wedding depression comes from unrealistic expectations, loneliness, or losing the attention and purpose created by planning the ceremony.

  7. Lost theory frenzy

    The crew and callers dissected Kate raising Claire's baby Aaron, the Oceanic Six cover story, who stayed on the island, and theories that Locke was in the coffin and Michael was Ben's spy.

  8. Castro's grilled cheese

    Barbara Walters recalled Fidel Castro making her a late-night grilled cheese, prompting the hosts to doubt its greatness and debate whether herb cream cheese was the real secret.

  9. The cadaver-bone choice

    Mikey preferred grafting bone from his own hip after a hypothetical hand injury, while Skye chose cadaver bone to avoid extra surgery and joked that it might confer superpowers.

  10. Sparring with Muhammad Ali

    T-Rex said he shadowboxed Muhammad Ali for five minutes at a 1984 party and still owned a photograph of Ali firing a lightning-fast combination toward him.

  11. Mikey's recovery testimony

    Mikey said alcoholism convinced him in 2004 that he would die young, and he credited asking Jesus Christ into his life with beginning his recovery and giving him hope.
