The show marveled at Chad Johnson legally becoming Chad Ochocinco, reported Don LaFontaine's death, and ridiculed the dangerous spectacle of television reporters standing in Hurricane Gustav. P1 Nicole asked whether ending a relationship over chronic bad breath was cruel, while Mikey argued that honest feedback was kinder than trying to rebuild an unsuitable partner. Eddie recounted a disastrous attempt to ready his condo for tenants, and Sky matched him with the story of an $80 fountain that crumbled and peeled as soon as it ran. Sarah Palin's selection triggered arguments about experience, family scrutiny, and Alaska's relevance, capped by Sean Combs's rambling anti-Palin video. The stranger comedy came from Dr. Wayne hijacking the David Duchovny discussion, Rebecca's story about a centipede stinging Erica's toddler, questions about Sean's furry past, and a dark riff on Michael Jackson's fiftieth-birthday interview.

What happened, in order

  1. Chad Becomes Ochocinco

    Eddie called Chad Johnson's legal name change to Chad Ochocinco genius while the crew wondered how the NFL could object to putting his new surname on his jersey.

  2. Hurricane Theater

    The crew welcomed Hurricane Gustav's weakening but mocked television reporters who stood in dangerous wind and flying debris merely to prove they were at the storm.

  3. The Bad-Breath Breakup

    P1 Nicole asked whether she was wrong to end a two-month relationship over the man's chronic bad breath, and Mikey argued that her tactful honesty may have helped him.

  4. The Movie Voice Falls Silent

    The hosts reported that trailer voice legend Don LaFontaine had died at 68 from complications of a collapsed lung and wondered who could replace his unmistakable voice.

  5. Palin Enters the Race

    Mikey, Sky, and Eddie debated John McCain's little-known running mate Sarah Palin, her thin national profile, her pregnant teenage daughter, and whether her Alaska experience qualified her for the presidency.

  6. Eddie's Condo Catastrophe

    Eddie's attempt to prepare his condo for renters spiraled through a canceled carpet cleaning, sparking electrical work, a failed day-laborer hire, mismatched paint, and a near miss between a Wii remote and his new televi

  7. The Eighty-Dollar Fountain

    Sky and her husband spent a day assembling an $80 Mexican fountain whose base crumbled, water dribbled from only one side, and finish bubbled off as soon as the pump ran.

  8. Diddy Versus Palin

    Sean Combs posted a video attacking McCain's Palin choice by arguing that Alaska lacked the crime and Black communities needed to understand the country, which the show found both funny and incoherent.

  9. Dr. Wayne's Confession

    A discussion of David Duchovny's pornography addiction became a bizarre Dr. Wayne call about his own supposed sex addiction, bushy breasts, and an undefined karate class in Balboa Park.

  10. Centipede in the Crib

    Rebecca relayed how her friend Erica found a thick three-inch centipede crawling over and twice stinging her crying toddler during a nap.

  11. Sean's Furry Past

    The crew pressed Sean about his former habit of dressing as a panda for anthropomorphic conventions and refused to accept his insistence that the gatherings were not sexual.

  12. Michael Jackson at Fifty

    The show played Michael Jackson's fiftieth-birthday interview and turned his comments about cartoons, children, and his happiest years into an extended dark parody.
