Eddie narrowly avoided a parking-lot home-theater scam, while Boston Rob proved the cast right by mishandling his antibiotics and later created chaos when he temporarily took over as host. Tanya's nomination won Sergeant Christopher Kane, a Silver Star and Purple Heart recipient wounded in Fallujah, a Metallica concert and meet-and-greet. The crew debated whether American Idol was steering voters toward the two Davids and whether women should be allowed to compete with men in professional sports, with Skye and Ashley pushing back against Mikey and Eddie. Other standout stories involved a drunken Darth Vader attacking a Jedi church, callers describing dangerous fainting episodes, and San Diego coyotes targeting neighborhood dogs.

What happened, in order

  1. The Parking-Lot Speaker Scam

    Eddie describes two young men at Vons offering suspiciously packaged home-theater equipment, and a caller later confirms the familiar scam can leave buyers with cheap speakers after a cash trip to the ATM.

  2. Rob Versus His Antibiotics

    After everyone predicts Boston Rob is taking his medicine incorrectly, he admits skipping a dose, ignoring the sun warning and considering quitting the treatment altogether.

  3. Dr. Wayne Introduces Zeth

    Recurring caller Dr. Wayne awkwardly introduces Zeth as a sexy young man, claims a circus motorbike past and pitches a guys-only meeting about how to attract women.

  4. American Idol Is Steering the Vote

    Ashley argues that the judges unfairly pushed David Cook and David Archuleta toward the final while punishing Syesha Mercado for songs the producers had chosen.

  5. A Fallujah Hero Meets Metallica

    Tanya nominates her husband, Sergeant Christopher Kane, whose actions in Fallujah earned a Silver Star and Purple Heart, and the show surprises him with Metallica tickets and a meet-and-greet.

  6. Darth Vader Attacks the Jedi Church

    The hosts recount how a drunken man in a garbage-bag Darth Vader costume assaulted members of a British Jedi church with a crutch during their filmed lightsaber practice.

  7. Why People Faint

    A caller says her fainting condition, syncope, led to comas and serious head injuries before estrogen and iron treatment brought it under control.

  8. Women in Men's Pro Sports

    Mikey and Eddie insist women could not compete in the NFL or Major League Baseball, while Skye and Ashley challenge their assumptions with kickers, Jenny Finch and the principle of open tryouts.

  9. Coyotes Come for the Dogs

    A Lake San Marcos coyote grabs an elderly beagle by the neck, prompting tough talk from Skye and Ashley, callers' rescue stories and practical advice about clearing brush and supervising small pets.

  10. Boston Rob Takes the Controls

    Mikey screens calls while an anxious Boston Rob hosts, covers Ozzfest and James Frey, mutes Skye and fields listeners alternately praising and roasting his new show.

  11. Bill O'Reilly Does It Live

    The crew plays the leaked Inside Edition footage of Bill O'Reilly losing his temper over a confusing outro and shouting that he will do it live.
