The show centered on gas-price frustration: callers explained Visa's $75 pump limit, and station owner P1 Chevron said 25 of 27 nozzle drive-offs in his records involved women. Mikey, Sky and Eddie then split over whether it was worse to free a guilty man or knowingly imprison an innocent one, with Mikey prioritizing the danger of future victims. Ashley's 25th birthday became a running gag through disastrous trivia and birthday messages that turned into a roast, while the backwards singer and Bombed at the Beach supplied the show's games. Later, Sky recounted a likely rattlesnake and a broken air conditioner, the crew heard about 185-degree Phoenix attics, chose favorite sitcom families and fielded sharply divided reviews of Wanted.

What happened, in order

  1. The $75 pump mystery

    Mikey and the crew mistook a gas-pump cutoff for station rationing until callers explained that Visa capped a single pay-at-the-pump authorization at $75.

  2. Driving off with the nozzle

    After debating who drives away with a fuel nozzle still attached, station owner P1 Chevron said his required logs showed 25 of 27 incidents involved women.

  3. The depression tattoo

    P1 Dave spent $150 tattooing his wife's name across his back to cheer her up about money problems, and she reacted as if he were crazy.

  4. Innocent man or guilty man

    Sky and Eddie would free a guilty man rather than imprison an innocent one, while Mikey argued that jailing one innocent person could prevent a guilty person from harming many others.

  5. Birthday trivia meltdown

    During Ashley's birthday edition of the Dumb Chick Challenge, the players missed Christopher Robin, the Delaware River, New Orleans, the sciatic nerve, Little Miss Muffet and the four basic tastes.

  6. Ashley's birthday roast

    The cast played supposedly heartfelt birthday messages for Ashley that repeatedly wandered into insults, awkward silences and praise for French onion soup.

  7. Backwards singer

    The crew marveled at a woman who learned a song phonetically in reverse so that her recording sounded intelligible only when played backward.

  8. Bombed at the Beach

    In Bombed at the Beach, the hosts predicted whether drinkers Charles Littlepage and Renee could answer questions about Ohio, John Mayer, the Celtics, John Kerry and the alto vocal range.

  9. Rattlesnake in the yard

    Sky described hearing a huge rattlesnake rattle beside her backyard project, while callers debated whether the noise might instead have come from a local bug.

  10. The 185-degree attic

    A visiting Phoenix home inspector told Mikey that attics can reach 185 degrees, forcing him to enter briefly and recover before returning to the inspection.

  11. Choose your sitcom family

    The cast chose fantasy TV households ranging from the Huxtables and Silver Spoons to Fresh Prince, Dharma and Greg, Three's Company and Perfect Strangers.

  12. Wanted divides the callers

    One caller dismissed Angelina Jolie's Wanted as empty stunts and bad acting, while another compared its fresh visual spectacle to seeing The Matrix for the first time.
