Mikey, Sky, and Eddie argued over the ethics of Barbara Walters publishing her affair with Edward Brooke, while a separate Lost recap sent Sky out of the studio to escape spoilers. Sean recounted his wife's frightening MRI panic, and the cast turned a submarine-versus-prison hypothetical plus a disputed Battle of the Sexes answer into long arguments about risk and fairness. Callers traded spectacular destruction stories, including an $8.5 million aircraft-carrier engine failure, before Boston Rob debuted a song mocking Sky's fear of the new 442 area code and Mikey recalled Limp Bizkit being buried in garbage by Metallica fans. Mikey ended on a serious note, connecting his alcoholism and shame to childhood abuse and explaining how rehab and faith in Jesus Christ helped him recover.

What happened, in order

  1. Barbara Walters' affair

    Mikey, Sky, and Eddie debated whether Barbara Walters was entitled to reveal her affair with married senator Edward Brooke or was needlessly hurting his former wife.

  2. Lost spoiler showdown

    Eddie called Lost the best show ever and recapped Jack, Kate, Aaron, Hurley, and Charlie while Sky fled the studio to avoid spoilers.

  3. MRI panic

    Sean described rushing his dizzy and nauseated wife to the hospital, where she panicked inside an MRI scanner before a CT scan found nothing major.

  4. Submarine or prison

    The cast and callers argued over spending a year in a submarine or prison, weighing sunlight and visitors against cramped quarters, violence, and the relative comforts of a Trident submarine.

  5. Battle of the Sexes revolt

    Boston Rob's incomplete answer of Lauren in a Hills question triggered a sprawling fight over whether first names counted, followed by accusations that Ashley had received her Notre Dame answer from Mark.

  6. Priceless things destroyed

    Mikey launched a confessional about expensive damage by admitting he burned his father's Mount Fuji souvenir stick, prompting stories about wrecked cars, soaked comics, ruined recordings, and damaged property.

  7. Aircraft-carrier engine failure

    A caller said his group caused roughly $8.5 million in damage when an incorrectly handled oil line drained the main engine of an aircraft carrier as it left port.

  8. The 442 area-code ballad

    Boston Rob premiered a Cheers-style song teasing Sky for treating the change from area code 760 to 442 as a catastrophe.

  9. Limp Bizkit booed off

    Mikey and Sky remembered about 30,000 Metallica fans at Candlestick Park booing Fred Durst and pelting Limp Bizkit's stage with garbage until the band cut its set short.

  10. Mikey's testimony

    Mikey closed the show by describing alcoholism, childhood sexual abuse, shame, rehab, and the Christian faith he credits with transforming his relationships and recovery.
