The show helped Marla publicize her missing rescue dog, raved about Iron Man, and debated whether fugitive Susan LaFavre's decades as a law-abiding mother should reduce the prison time she still owed. Paula Abdul's impossible critique of an unsung American Idol performance triggered arguments about impairment and producer responsibility, while David Blaine's record attempt inspired a studio contest that Zeth unexpectedly won. Miley Cyrus's Annie Leibovitz portrait produced a sustained argument about art, sexualization, and parental responsibility, culminating in a combative call from Rachel about bikini photos of her 15-year-old daughter. The cast also challenged Ashley's contradictory claims about Mexican food and vegetarianism, questioned Dr. Phil's involvement in bailing out an accused teen bully, and got practical advice for securing a cardiac stress test for Mikey's father.

What happened, in order

  1. Rescue dog missing after four hours

    Marla asked listeners to find a skittish newly rescued Jack Russell that escaped in Santee while still wearing fresh neutering staples and needing medication.

  2. Iron Man wins over everyone

    Eddie and Sky called Iron Man nearly perfect, praising Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, the backstory, humor, and action while stopping a caller from spoiling the sequel setup.

  3. The fugitive Carmel Valley mom

    The show unpacked how Susan LaFavre escaped a Michigan prison in 1976, became Marie Walsh, raised a family in Carmel Valley, and was arrested after an anonymous tip more than three decades later.

  4. Punishment or rehabilitation

    Caller Brad asked whether LaFavre's law-abiding life proved rehabilitation, while Eddie argued that letting an escapee avoid prison would undermine punishment and encourage other fugitives.

  5. Paula judges a song from the future

    Paula Abdul critiqued Jason Castro's nonexistent second American Idol song, then confused his notes with David Cook's, prompting debate over impairment, scripted judging, and producer responsibility.

  6. The studio breath-holding tournament

    Inspired by David Blaine's planned record attempt, the cast staged breath-holding contests in which Ashley beat the older hosts before Zeth unexpectedly outlasted her and Boston Rob.

  7. Dr. Phil's bailout admission

    The hosts said Dr. Phil effectively admitted his show helped bail out a teen accused in a filmed group beating, contradicting the earlier suggestion that a low-level producer acted alone.

  8. Ashley invents partial vegetarianism

    Ashley claimed an allergy to all Mexican food and called herself a partial vegetarian despite eating meat and fish, sending Eddie into an exasperated breakdown as the cast challenged her logic.

  9. Rosie defends the Miley portrait

    Rosie O'Donnell defended Annie Leibovitz's sheet portrait of 15-year-old Miley Cyrus as beautiful, while Mikey and the cast argued that artistic intent did not answer why the suggestive image was appropriate.

  10. Rachel's modeling argument erupts

    Caller Rachel defended taking bikini photographs of her 15-year-old aspiring model, insisting parents cannot control perverts, while Mikey and other callers argued that parents can control what images they create and dis

  11. Fighting for a cardiac stress test

    After Mikey described his father's recurring chest pain and an unaffordable out-of-network test, medical-billing caller Jamers explained how to demand a Kaiser stress test or an in-network cardiology referral.

  12. Sean TV discovers Perry Mason

    Sean enthusiastically summarized and played Perry Mason while Mikey and Eddie mocked the ancient dialogue, only to perk up when Mason exposed the murder plot in court.
