Mikey, Skye, Eddie, Sean, Ashley, Boston Rob, and the rest of the crew mixed arguments, celebrity interviews, news oddities, and a marathon food contest. Paula Deen discussed her new show and home cooking, while the hosts debated infant self-rescue lessons, Mario Lopez's appeal, and whether Barack Obama's speaking skill would give him an advantage over John McCain. Eleven local pizzas were judged on air, with Flippin' Pizza winning over Extreme Pizza and Pauly's after sharp disagreements about unconventional toppings. The show also featured a bug-swallowing reporter, a forgotten $250,000 lottery ticket, a nail-gun survivor, a caller's account of addiction recovery, and Skye's favorable review of The Incredible Hulk.

What happened, in order

  1. Rob's wisdom-teeth panic

    Boston Rob worried about his afternoon wisdom-tooth surgery while Mikey, Skye, Sean, and the crew argued that he should not return to screen calls the next morning if he could not speak or drive safely.

  2. The infant-swimming debate

    A caller described ISR self-rescue lessons for babies, prompting Mikey and Skye to weigh rare dry-drowning risks against the fear caused by deliberately putting a crying child through simulated pool falls.

  3. Cooking with Paula Deen

    Paula Deen previewed Paula's Best Dishes, joked about treating Elmo as real, rejected sweetbreads, explained country-fried steak, and recalled beating Bobby Flay at his own challenge.

  4. Reporter eats a bug

    The crew replayed a field reporter swallowing a bug mid-take, swearing, and demanding to leave the country, then laughed about the advantages of recorded television.

  5. Mario Lopez declines Playgirl

    After revealing that Mario Lopez had turned down Playgirl, Skye and Ashley said he was handsome but too polished and self-aware, while Conan O'Brien's interview confirmed Lopez had barely considered the offer.

  6. Obama versus McCain

    Mikey backed John McCain but rejected Rush Limbaugh's certainty that Barack Obama would collapse, and the panel argued that Obama's eloquence could expose McCain's weaker speaking style in debates.

  7. San Diego pizza showdown

    The crew tasted and scored 11 local pizzas with blunt disagreements over crust, sauce, cheese, hummus, ranch, bacon, and toppings before naming Flippin' Pizza the winner, with Extreme Pizza second and Pauly's third.

  8. The Real World spiral

    A Coldplay tour update veered into Mikey pretending to share an Inglewood loft with Kevin from The Real World, reciting mock poetry, and rattling off old cast members until everyone begged him to stop.

  9. Fortune in a jacket

    A Baltimore man found a $250,000 Mega Millions ticket after it had sat in his jacket for about six weeks, leading the hosts to debate how to verify old tickets without trusting a store clerk.

  10. Nail pulled with a hammer

    A Kansas man survived a nail-gun accident that left a nail in his skull, and the horrified crew learned that doctors removed it with the claw of a hammer.

  11. Recovery never fully ends

    A caller said encountering someone using speed after 12 sober years made his body remember the drug and changed his belief that long-term addicts should consider themselves completely recovered.

  12. Skye reviews The Incredible Hulk

    Skye recommended Edward Norton's The Incredible Hulk as a major improvement over Hulk, though still below Iron Man, and confirmed Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark cameo points toward the Avengers.
