Sky recounted a miserable Dave Matthews Band concert dominated by an out-of-control fan, while Mikey, Eddie, Boston Rob, Ashley, and callers argued over SDSU's alcohol ban, Fox Sports' greatest-athlete list, and whether golf requires genuine athletic ability. Eddie described Shawne Merriman's choice between risking his injured knee during the Chargers' Super Bowl window and losing the season to surgery. In the Dumb Chick Challenge, Ashley and Sky missed conspicuous answers before Rob won, and an email from Alex opened a detailed run of Craigslist scam stories. The crew also mocked Barack Obama's leaked Joe Biden text announcement, a fitness-show mishap, and The Hills salaries. The closing news starkly contrasted a fatal fight at a children's football game with a Buenos Aires dog that kept an abandoned newborn alive.

What happened, in order

  1. Sky's concert from hell

    Sky said Dave Matthews played mostly new material while a possibly drugged attendee screamed, grabbed people, and repeatedly crashed into her husband, making her consider giving up concerts.

  2. SDSU's five-week booze ban

    The crew debated San Diego State's ban on alcohol at Greek events for the first five weeks, arguing that students would probably celebrate the ban's end by drinking even harder.

  3. Merriman's impossible choice

    Eddie explained that Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman could play through two damaged knee ligaments and risk his career or undergo surgery and miss a season viewed as San Diego's Super Bowl window.

  4. The greatest athletes list

    Mikey and Eddie worked through Fox Sports' all-time ranking, accepting names such as Michael Phelps, Jim Thorpe, Wayne Gretzky, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Jordan while arguing over major omissions.

  5. Is golf really athletic?

    Boston Rob and several callers called golf a skill rather than an athletic test, while Eddie and others defended Tiger Woods and argued that strength, endurance, training, and elite physical gifts still matter.

  6. Dumb Chick Challenge collapse

    Ashley guessed Abraham Lincoln wrote the national anthem and called a didgeridoo a banjo, Sky answered carbon dioxide instead of oxygen for fish gills, and Boston Rob recovered to win on New York Stock Exchange.

  7. Craigslist scam parade

    Alex had already sent $700 toward a supposed $400 plasma TV, prompting the hosts and callers to dissect scams involving overseas payments, a fake Del Mar rental, and switched Home Depot gift cards.

  8. Fitness-show accident

    The crew repeatedly played a live exercise-show clip in which a participant audibly passed gas during a rocking movement, sending Rob into hysterics.

  9. Obama's 3 a.m. text

    Barack Obama's plan to reveal Joe Biden first by text was spoiled by television reports, so supporters on the East Coast received the already-leaked news around 3 a.m.

  10. The Hills payday shock

    Ashley grew increasingly furious as the crew listed per-episode salaries for The Hills cast, culminating in Lauren Conrad's contractually protected status as the show's top earner.

  11. A dog saves a newborn

    After reporting a fatal shooting following a Pop Warner game, the show told how a mother dog in Buenos Aires carried an abandoned newborn to her puppies and kept him warm enough to survive.
