Eddie was furious that Peggy maneuvered him into traveling with his estranged sister, while P1 Jill and the crew argued over whether family duty required him to tolerate it. Boston Rob's outrage over wasted food, a listener's discovery of his brother's gay blog, and Ashley's anger over pressure to diet each became larger arguments about ethics, privacy, and control. The show also covered Casey Edwards surviving an alligator attack, parents confronting dangerous MySpace behavior, and Lindsay Oliver rejecting the reported Gloucester High pregnancy-pact story. Comic peaks included the Jimmy Dean sausage improvisation, confused cover-song rankings, Motley Crue blindsiding Greta Van Susteren, and skepticism about detox diets and a cell-phone popcorn hoax.

What happened, in order

  1. Eddie's Forced Family Flight

    Eddie learned that his mother Peggy had quietly arranged for his estranged sister to share his flight and hour-long ride to their father's birthday, prompting a debate over family boundaries and whether he should simply

  2. The Food-Styling Waste Fight

    Boston Rob attacked food stylists for ruining and discarding real food, and a chef caller confirmed that undercooking, unsafe temperatures, and products such as glycerin often make the photographed food inedible.

  3. The Secret Blog Dilemma

    The crew argued over whether a listener who discovered his younger brother was openly gay on a public blog should speak to him honestly or preserve his privacy and let him come out in his own time.

  4. Casey Edwards Fights an Alligator

    Eighteen-year-old Casey Edwards described surviving an 11-and-a-half-foot alligator that tore off his left arm, after which he gouged its eye, reached shore, and received lifesaving aid from friends.

  5. Eleven-Year-Olds on MySpace

    Eddie's 11-year-old niece created a secret MySpace profile claiming to be 15 and drew messages from older men, leading the hosts and callers to debate supervision, passwords, deception, and online danger.

  6. Everyone Polices Ashley's Food

    Ashley erupted after Seth skipped her Starbucks and Mark repeatedly commented on her eating, arguing that pressure to diet only made her want to eat more out of spite while the crew mocked and defended her.

  7. The Pregnancy Pact Disputed

    Pregnant Gloucester High student Lindsay Oliver denied that students agreed to become pregnant together and said the girls only promised mutual support after they were already expecting.

  8. The Sausage Hotline Meltdown

    A furious Jimmy Dean sausage complaint became an extended improvised bit about undersized portions, Texas pride, BMW upholstery, class, Bedford, and an alleged Kelly Clarkson romance.

  9. Best and Worst Cover Songs

    The crew fumbled through a magazine's cover-song rankings before landing on Jimi Hendrix's All Along the Watchtower as the best and teeing up Celine Dion's You Shook Me All Night Long as the worst.

  10. Motley Crue Meets Greta

    After ridiculing Celine Dion's AC/DC cover, the hosts played Motley Crue asking Greta Van Susteren about her underwear and argued that her serious news show should have expected chaos from the band.

  11. Detoxes and Internet Hoaxes

    The hosts mocked Oprah's vegan detox and a maple-syrup, lemon, and cayenne cleanse, then admitted they nearly believed a fake video showing ringing cell phones popping corn.
