Mikey and the crew moved between grim local stories and long comic arguments, beginning with Terrence Keel's fatal crash and later questioning whether Steve Foley's $5.5 million settlement could cover what he lost. The show's strongest caller debate came when a 22-year-old defended secretly marrying a 19-year-old, while Mikey argued that their ages, rapid personal change, and decision to hide the wedding made the marriage dangerously premature. Ashley and Mark sparred over how he treats Sammy, and Zeth's suspended license inspired an on-air betting pool for the date of his arrest. Plaxico Burris revisited the Giants' Super Bowl win and defended Eli Manning's quiet leadership, while lighter set pieces covered the beach-drinking loophole, bullfighting, Courtney Maltz crying over WALL-E, Sky's trivia victory, and Joey Chestnut's hot-dog eat-off with Takeru Kobayashi.

What happened, in order

  1. Terrence Keel crash

    Mikey and the crew react to former Charger Terrence Keel's fatal Scripps Ranch crash and the report that partygoers had urged him not to drive.

  2. Secret young marriage

    A 22-year-old caller reveals that he secretly married his 19-year-old girlfriend, prompting Mikey to argue that both will change dramatically and that the hidden wedding proves he expected his family's objections.

  3. Roughhousing the dogs

    Ashley accuses Mark of headbutting, dropping, blanketing, and secretly feeding Sammy, while Mark and the hosts debate whether the behavior is playful or harmful.

  4. Zeth jail pool

    Zeth admits he owes $1,100 in fines and keeps driving without a license, so Mikey, Eddie, Sean, Ashley, Boston Rob, and callers place bets on when he will be jailed.

  5. Beach booze loophole

    A caller and the hosts describe Fourth of July drinkers exploiting San Diego's beach alcohol ban by floating just off the sand, then argue over whether the rule was absurd or responsible for a peaceful day.

  6. Plaxico after the Super Bowl

    Plaxico Burris discusses his Giants championship ring, Tom Coughlin, Eli Manning's calm leadership, the winning Super Bowl drive, his ankle, and his expectation of a new contract.

  7. Bull rider or bullfighter

    Mikey, Eddie, Sky, and callers compare the danger of bull riding and bullfighting, with Sky recoiling after learning that matadors wound and kill the bull rather than merely wave a cape.

  8. Crying over WALL-E

    A news clip introduces Courtney Maltz, whose tears at the WALL-E trailer led Pixar to invite her to its wrap party, while the hosts struggle to understand the reaction.

  9. Dumb Chick Challenge

    Ashley guesses that a brick fell on Isaac Newton, Boston Rob misses questions about meat-stamp dye and a castrated bull, and Sky wins the trivia game with her steady two-point strategy.

  10. Steve Foley settlement

    The hosts call Steve Foley's $5.5 million Coronado settlement inadequate after comparing it with his lost football earnings, medical bills, legal fees, and taxes.

  11. Hot dog sudden death

    Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi tie at 59 hot dogs before Chestnut wins a five-dog eat-off, leaving the crew fascinated and disgusted by competitive eating.

  12. Cat held for ransom

    The hosts recount a Florida woman stealing a family's cat and demanding it in exchange for the dog they had legally adopted, conduct that brought theft and extortion charges.
