Mikey and Eddie opened by arguing that Brett Favre was still a stronger quarterback than Aaron Rodgers, while conceding that Green Bay had moved on after Favre's retirement and failed comeback. Personal stories drove much of the show: Mikey endured a surprise stitch removal, Eddie discovered a game he had kept for four years, Sky defended traveling with King Plush, and the cast warned a marriage-shy caller not to buy a house with his girlfriend. The hosts also fought over hotel housekeeping, Barack Obama versus John McCain, and the simmering hostility between Ashley and Boston Rob before working through the coworkers' sarcastic messages on air. Other standout bits included Ashley's marshmallow contest, Old Man Baker's deranged gardening tips, Eddie's secret devotion to The Real World, and the report of a mountain lion dragging a Labrador from a Colorado bedroom.

What happened, in order

  1. Favre as a displaced morning show

    Mikey and the crew compared Brett Favre's attempted return to a retired radio host demanding his old slot back after the Packers had already committed to Aaron Rodgers.

  2. The surprise stitch removal

    Mikey described his doctor unexpectedly yanking and snipping fishing-line-like stitches from his chest, leaving painful little craters but no bleeding.

  3. The four-year video-game loan

    Eddie admitted he found Bromo's copy of the game XIII four years after borrowing it and debated whether returning it would be more embarrassing than keeping it.

  4. A house without a marriage

    A caller wanted to buy a house 50-50 with his girlfriend but feared marriage, prompting Mikey, Eddie, Sky, and Rob to argue that the legal and emotional commitment of a shared home already amounted to playing married.

  5. King Plush goes to Denver

    Sky confessed that she sleeps with a crane-machine teddy bear named King Plush and tucked him into her suitcase for the Denver trip despite knowing how odd it sounded at age 30.

  6. The hotel-room cleaning war

    Sky and Boston Rob refused daily housekeeping over waste and theft fears while Mikey and Eddie defended fresh sheets and towels, and a caller later said he caught a maid using his laptop.

  7. Mommy's marshmallow showdown

    After teasing Ashley for calling pizza and nine homemade cookies a diet, the show challenged listener Adrienne to eat more marshmallows than Ashley in 60 seconds for concert tickets.

  8. Obama, McCain, and celebrity politics

    Mikey and Sky sparred over Barack Obama's charisma and John McCain's policy reversals before playing Paris Hilton's satirical campaign response proposing limited drilling alongside clean-energy incentives.

  9. Ashley and Rob's cold war

    Mikey investigated the tension between Ashley and Boston Rob, read their prickly instant messages on air, and traced the fight to sarcasm, button-pushing, and Rob feeling disrespected.

  10. Old Man Baker's garden advice

    Old Man Baker answered Mikey's tomato question with increasingly absurd advice involving sucked-clean yogurt raisins, transmission fluid, poetry, and produce named after actresses.

  11. Eddie's Real World secret

    Eddie stunned his longtime friends by admitting he had secretly watched every season of The Real World because he enjoyed other people's televised messes.

  12. Mountain lion in the bedroom

    The crew reacted to a Colorado mountain lion dragging a 72-pound Labrador from a bedroom, after which wildlife officers used the dog's carcass to lure back and kill the cat.
