The show centered on the massive SDSU drug sting: Mikey, Ashley and callers detailed the text-message dealing and 96 arrests, while student P1 Tyler argued that new sellers would simply replace those caught and the hosts countered that overdose deaths made the trade far from victimless. Ashley also defended American Idol contestant Jason Castro after he forgot his lyrics, and Mikey turned her hesitant SDSU reaction into a mock official statement. Barbara Walters's disclosures about her affair and Star Jones's wedding freebies, gastric bypass and departure from The View sparked arguments about the definition of a mistress, gender double standards, honesty and public humiliation. Lighter bits included Seth's unexplained boxed bunny, Mikey's supposed Barry Zito curse, Chrysler's $2.99 gas offer, Tom Arnold's inability to keep stories anonymous and Ashley's mortifying sleep confession.

What happened, in order

  1. Parenthood Changes Gross

    Mikey realized how parenthood had changed him after he casually picked up a mysterious dried piece of poop from the bathroom floor without knowing exactly how it got there.

  2. The Bunny in the Box

    Seth came home to find a live bunny in a box on the counter, put it back after it escaped, and went to bed without waking his mother to ask where it came from.

  3. Operation Sudden Fall

    The cast unpacked the SDSU sting in which dealers advertised cocaine sales by text, 96 people were arrested, 75 were students, and two overdose deaths had prompted the investigation.

  4. Tom Arnold Overshares

    A chaotic Tom Arnold call became an extended joke about anonymity as he kept naming acquaintances while the hosts repeatedly begged him to stop revealing personal recovery stories.

  5. Jason Castro Forgets the Song

    Jason Castro forgot a full verse on American Idol, but Ashley defended his recovery as professional and admitted voting five times to keep him in despite Simon Cowell predicting his exit.

  6. Love or Ignorance

    The random debate asked whether it was worse never to experience true love or to find it and never be able to stay with that person, with most of the cast choosing ignorance over lifelong longing.

  7. What Counts as a Mistress

    Barbara Walters and Oprah Winfrey disputed whether a financially independent woman having an affair with a married man was a mistress, while the show argued that the dictionary definition and a glaring gender double stan

  8. Star Jones and The View

    Barbara Walters said Star Jones traded wedding promotion for freebies and lost viewers by hiding her gastric bypass, prompting the cast to debate disclosure rules, humiliation, and whether the public account could damage

  9. The Barry Zito Curse

    Mikey recalled praising Barry Zito by voicemail after a dominant first inning only to watch him surrender eight runs, and the crew jokingly blamed that message for Zito's later 0-6 season.

  10. Chrysler's Gas Gamble

    The cast debated Chrysler's promise to hold buyers' gasoline cost at $2.99 per gallon for three years and concluded that the 12,000-mile cap might still make a fuel-efficient car the smarter deal.

  11. Would the Bust Matter

    SDSU student P1 Tyler argued that the arrested dealers would be replaced immediately because drugs were easy to source on campus, while the hosts answered that overdose deaths and ruined families made enforcement anythin

  12. The Dream Was Real

    Ashley admitted that boyfriend Mark once told her the fart she dreamed about had actually happened in her sleep, setting off an extended round of studio teasing.
