Sean defended buying special gas-pump gloves, while Ashley's morning nausea became a show-long fake pregnancy crisis that she blamed on chicken tacos. Mikey and Eddie challenged Ryan Seacrest's defense of Paula Abdul as enabling, and Tracy's discovery of her boyfriend's old prison term triggered a serious argument about honesty, rehabilitation, and when criminal history must be disclosed. The crew also marveled at David Blaine's 17-minute breath hold, sparred over Rebecca's dislike of Seal, and turned Eddie's advice letters and the 'pinch poke' phrase into running comedy. The most painfully funny clips were a sleeping 911 operator and a Las Vegas reporter repeatedly failing to demonstrate a bump key on live television.

What happened, in order

  1. Sean's gas-pump gloves

    Sean bought permanent rubberized gloves at 7-Eleven after a gas station stopped supplying disposable ones, then defended himself against the crew's jokes by arguing that pumps carry germs and gasoline should not touch sk

  2. Ashley's pregnancy scare

    After Ashley said she had vomited on two mornings, Mikey and the crew relentlessly treated it as a pregnancy announcement while she blamed chicken tacos and promised to take a test if the nausea continued.

  3. The Paula Abdul defense

    Ryan Seacrest dismissed rumors about Paula Abdul after her confused judging, but Mikey and Eddie argued that the show's protective explanation sounded like the enabling Mikey's family once used around his own problems.

  4. Rebecca versus Seal

    Mikey was appalled when Rebecca called Seal's 'Kiss from a Rose' nonsensical yet praised Bon Jovi's 'Livin' on a Prayer,' prompting a debate about lyrics, taste, and what counts as a great song.

  5. Since the John Boy

    During Lyrical Gangsta, pastry driver Manny hilariously guessed that the Bee Gees had been kicked around 'since the John Boy,' while later callers did much better with Stained, Tiffany, and the Eagles.

  6. Tough Love with Eddie

    Eddie answered listeners with insult-heavy advice about a wife's terrible cooking, a husband's sprawling posture, and aspiring guitarist Ned, whom he christened 'Ned Zeppelin' before declaring that his real problem was f

  7. David Blaine's breath record

    The crew recapped David Blaine holding his breath for 17 minutes and 4 seconds on Oprah, debated whether viewers watched for superhuman achievement or possible disaster, and urged him not to attempt staying awake for mor

  8. Tracy Googles her boyfriend

    Caller Tracy discovered that her boyfriend had served about a year for stealing a car at 17, leading the crew and callers to argue over when a reformed person must disclose a criminal past in a relationship.

  9. Michael Moore on Heston and Wright

    Michael Moore told Larry King that he respected Charlton Heston despite their difficult interview and argued that Reverend Jeremiah Wright's anger should be understood in the context of Black experience, which the hosts

  10. Pinch poke, you owe me a Coke

    Mikey insisted that 'pinch poke, you owe me a Coke' was a real response to two people speaking at once, and callers eventually confirmed the phrase after the rest of the crew suspected he had invented it.

  11. The sleeping 911 operator

    The show played rough audio of a 911 operator apparently snoring during an emergency call and reported that she was fired after the lapse delayed her response to the caller.

  12. The bump-key disaster

    A Las Vegas reporter spent nearly three excruciating live minutes failing to open a homeowner's door with a bump key, even after tossing to a prerecorded package and returning for another unsuccessful try.
