Mikey and the crew mixed personal stories and recurring games with several substantial news and culture discussions, from a futile Lake Poway fishing trip to the Universal Studios backlot fire. Journey's new YouTube-discovered singer sparked an argument about whether a great vocalist must imitate Steve Perry, while Ashley's Sex and the City review opened a broader fight over whether the movie had anything for men. A debate over professional massages for 10-year-olds split the room between supervised pampering and concerns about boundaries, and Eddie argued that CBS's sloppy MMA debut hurt the sport he wanted network television to embrace. The show also covered Harriet Christian's furious pro-Clinton protest, a violent Pacific Beach standoff, Prince's dispute with Radiohead and a fundraiser supporting Jerry Hurd's leukemia treatment, with Boston Rob's Vicodin trivia collapse and Scuba Steve's 'Banana Check' answer supplying the biggest comic payoffs.

What happened, in order

  1. The fish would not bite

    Mikey described spending five hours at Lake Poway watching enormous trout swim past while every bait he and his brother tried produced no bites.

  2. Universal backlot fire

    Skye reported that a huge Universal Studios fire destroyed Courthouse Square, the King Kong attraction and thousands of film and video items, prompting the hosts to mourn a piece of their childhood.

  3. Journey's YouTube singer

    Mikey played Journey's new Filipino lead singer and argued with the crew and callers over whether his strong voice actually sounded like Steve Perry.

  4. Vicodin-fueled trivia

    A heavily medicated Boston Rob unraveled during the Dumb Chick Challenge while Skye won and Ashley memorably guessed that venison came from a cow.

  5. Clinton meeting heckler

    The show played Harriet Christian's angry, racially charged protest over the Democratic Party's handling of Hillary Clinton, then turned it into an extended character bit.

  6. Eleven-hour SWAT standoff

    Skye recounted how police ended an eleven-hour Pacific Beach standoff after a man allegedly struck his ex-girlfriend with a hammer, barricaded himself and threatened officers.

  7. Should a child get a massage?

    The hosts and callers debated whether a 10-year-old should receive a professional massage, weighing supervised mother-daughter pampering against safety, mixed messages and growing up too fast.

  8. Jammin for Jerry

    Mikey promoted a Tin Fish fundraiser for his friend Jerry Hurd, whose sister was donating bone marrow while he underwent treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

  9. Sex and the City divide

    Ashley praised the Sex and the City movie despite disliking Jennifer Hudson's performance, while the men mocked the film and callers argued over whether men could enjoy it.

  10. Network MMA disaster

    Eddie called CBS's first network MMA broadcast a poorly timed, badly presented missed opportunity, criticizing the long explanations, Kimbo's conditioning and a gruesome ear injury even as he praised Gina Carano's win.

  11. Banana Check

    During P1 Trivia, Scuba Steve answered a question about Sean's favorite insurance-investigator show with 'Banana Check,' and the studio immediately turned the wrong answer into a running joke.

  12. Prince versus Radiohead

    The crew unpacked a copyright dispute in which Prince had YouTube clips of his Coachella cover of Radiohead's 'Creep' removed even though Radiohead wanted the audience videos restored.
