Boston Rob became the center of two major bits: the crew challenged his refusal to accept help for an affordable wedding, then sent him into Ocean Beach as the traffic-dodging Gas Monkey to award Cody a $75 gas card. P1 Kevin described getting clean from heroin after an arrest and asked how to handle drinking coworkers, and the hosts urged direct honesty about his recovery. Serious calls and news covered dangerous ER delays, Shelly Malil's alleged stabbing of his ex-girlfriend, and whether an angry boyfriend's behavior justified suspecting steroids; the recurring argument was to judge evidence carefully and communicate directly. Lighter stretches included Zeth and Eddie's surprise Password victory, Michael Phelps' enormous training diet, Ashley's circus-like bicycle entrance, and a ruthless boat hypothetical involving partners and pets.

What happened, in order

  1. Possum boxing match

    The crew recounts how their friend Jay, angry about a possum raiding his koi pond, cornered it on a fence and punched it.

  2. Rob's wedding stalemate

    Boston Rob says his fiancée wants a large family wedding he cannot afford, while Mikey, Eddie, and callers argue that he should accept their help and marry cheaply.

  3. A 19-year-old gets clean

    P1 Kevin says arrest, a work-furlough sentence, and a masonry job helped him stay off heroin for six and a half months, and the hosts advise him to tell coworkers plainly why he cannot join their drinking.

  4. Ashley's circus-bike entrance

    Rob compares Ashley riding her lime-green beach cruiser past a Hawaiian restaurant to a circus bear, complete with a bell, basket, and cookies carried inside.

  5. Emergency-room horror stories

    Callers describe a bleeding fight victim left until he fainted and a construction worker with severed fingertips waiting until his bandage erupted like a fountain, while an ER employee explains that triage follows medica

  6. Too scared for soccer

    A father asks how to persuade his wife to let their six-year-old play soccer, prompting the crew's argument that ordinary injury risk is no reason to keep a child in a bubble and a wildly unhelpful fake Dr. Phil consulta

  7. Shelly Malil arrested

    The show reports that actor Shelly Malil allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend repeatedly at her San Marcos home before surrendering at the Oceanside train station.

  8. P1 Password chaos

    Zeth and Eddie unexpectedly dominate P1 Password, while Mikey and Rebecca struggle and Ashley's clues such as 'jet' and 'blue' fail to produce 'airline.'

  9. The Gas Monkey nearly gets flattened

    Boston Rob moonwalks through Ocean Beach in a nearly blind monkey costume, narrowly avoids traffic, then gives P1 Cody a $75 gas card taped to a banana.

  10. Is rage proof of steroids?

    A listener suspects her gym-going boyfriend's public outbursts mean steroid use, but the hosts and callers argue that anger alone proves nothing and she should ask him directly instead of searching his belongings.

  11. Michael Phelps' giant breakfast

    The crew marvels that Michael Phelps reportedly eats several egg sandwiches, hash browns, oatmeal, French toast, pancakes, and bacon while consuming up to 10,000 calories a day for five-hour swim practices.

  12. Boyfriend or pet overboard

    Mikey forces Ashley to choose between boyfriend Mark and dog Sammy in a sinking-boat hypothetical, and she immediately saves Mark while Skye keeps inventing ways to avoid choosing between her husband and cats.
