Mikey and the crew turned Samantha and Craig's first date into the show's biggest argument, with Rebecca, Sky, and Ashley calling a pickup offer basic chivalry while Mikey and Eddie called the 100-mile round trip impractical and potentially uncomfortable. Ashley's Tone-Deaf Karaoke, Eddie's invisible haircut, and a caller who built the Bianca dolls supplied the lighter comedy. The show also debated Aaron Mansker's shooting of Steve Foley, interpreted Al Sharpton's remark to Anderson Cooper, and riffed on updates involving Lorena Bobbitt and O.J. Simpson. A boyfriend's revelation that he used a divorcing woman's anniversary prize created peak awkwardness, before furry bacterial growth on the studio controls horrified everyone.

What happened, in order

  1. Mikey Sees Himself in Lars

    Mikey calls Lars and the Real Girl one of his favorite films and admits that he identifies with Lars's fear of people and belief that isolation feels safer.

  2. Eddie's Invisible Haircut

    Sky says Eddie's fresh haircut somehow looks longer, prompting jokes about extensions and imaginary scissors while Eddie laments paying $20 for no visible change.

  3. The Steve Foley Shooting Debate

    The crew and a law-enforcement caller argue over whether off-duty officer Aaron Mansker reasonably shot Steve Foley after identifying himself verbally but never displaying a badge.

  4. Tone-Deaf Karaoke

    Callers struggle through Ashley's wildly unrecognizable renditions of Bob Marley, Stone Temple Pilots, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Lonestar.

  5. The First-Date Pickup War

    Mikey, Rebecca, Sky, Eddie, Ashley, and callers fiercely debate whether Craig should have offered to drive from Del Mar to Vista to pick up Samantha for their first date.

  6. The Man Who Built Bianca

    A caller from Abyss Creations reveals that he built the internal frames for all four Bianca dolls used in Lars and the Real Girl and later helped make the purchased hero doll anatomically correct.

  7. Sharpton's Hell Remark

    The hosts parse Al Sharpton telling Anderson Cooper he would defend Cooper's right to go to hell and argue over whether the remark alluded to Cooper's sexuality or religious belief.

  8. Lorena Bobbitt Moves On

    The show catches up with Lorena Bobbitt as a real-estate agent, trainee hairdresser, mother, and longtime partner, then darkly jokes that not attacking her fiancé marks progress.

  9. OJ Sounds Different

    The crew plays O.J. Simpson defending himself over the Las Vegas memorabilia case on a Fargo radio show, then launches into an extended stream of murder-trial and Vegas-show jokes.

  10. To Catch a Predator Fallout

    Sky reports that NBC settled a $105 million lawsuit tied to a target's suicide and suggests the legal exposure likely ended new episodes of To Catch a Predator.

  11. The Awkward Anniversary Dinner

    A restaurant-prize winner admits he is not Chad but Danielle Cleaver's boyfriend and used her still-valid wedding anniversary to take her and her parents out while she divorces her husband.

  12. The Studio Grows Fur

    Petri-dish tests reveal colonies across the studio phone, console, mouse, and microphone controls, with the furry mic sample finally turning the whole crew into germaphobes.
