The show opened with a heated debate about whether the full‑frontal Dr. Manhattan scene in Watchmen constitutes pornography or legitimate comic‑book imagery. Mikey and Eddie then examined the Obama administration’s release of secret Bush anti‑terrorism memos, arguing whether it was a transparency move or political shaming. The crew reacted to Rachel Ray’s Nightline appearance, discussed Tom Cruise’s lawsuit over a ‘sex addict’ T‑shirt, and heard Eddie’s squirrel‑attack story and Barbara’s defense of breastfeeding while driving. They capped the hour with a prank involving a fake ‘ham special with onion rings’ order at drive‑thrus and a preview of U2’s upcoming album No Line on the Horizon.
