The show opened with Mikey, Sky, and the crew admitting they were morbidly transfixed by a disabled-tire airplane landing, then arguing over whether Sky could evict a gopher without killing it and which chemicals germaphobe Sean would trust near his seat. Sky and Ashley reviewed the Republican convention by criticizing Giuliani's evasiveness, Joe Lieberman's attack on Democrats, and George Bush's awkward satellite pauses, while Eddie explained why Randy Couture's return against the much larger Brock Lesnar looked dangerous. Longer comedy debates had Sean defending Matlock and a 15 percent maximum restaurant tip, the group dismantling action-movie clichés, and Mikey mock-defending Padres management against Eddie's charge that ownership broke its stadium-era promises. They also set Ashley against Megan in a banana-eating contest for Metallica tickets, traded stories about lying to get jobs, and mocked the new 90210's acting and nostalgia before Sky and Rebecca defended its appeal.

What happened, in order

  1. Watching the Blown-Tire Landing

    Mikey admitted that while praying for everyone aboard an American Airlines jet with a blown tire, he was also morbidly waiting to see whether its live televised landing would become a disaster.

  2. Sky's Gopher Dilemma

    Sky refused to poison a gopher destroying her yard, while the others argued that trapping or relocating it would merely outsource its death.

  3. Sean's Germ-Killing Standards

    Sleep-deprived germaphobe Sean demanded bleach, ammonia, 409, or similarly harsh cleaners for the food and spit expected around his seat during Ashley's eating contest.

  4. Convention Night Arguments

    Sky and Ashley criticized Giuliani for dodging questions about Sarah Palin, Joe Lieberman for attacking Democrats, and George Bush's satellite speech for pauses that looked confused without the missing applause feed.

  5. Couture Returns for Lesnar

    Eddie explained Randy Couture's surprise UFC return and worried that the much larger Brock Lesnar could overpower the older, smaller heavyweight despite Couture's elite conditioning.

  6. Sean TV Picks Matlock

    Sean enthusiastically presented an old Matlock murder case as essential television while the rest of the room treated the courtroom audio as his dullest recommendation ever.

  7. The Great Tipping Fight

    Sean insisted that even perfect restaurant service deserved no more than 15 percent, prompting Sky, Eddie, former servers, and callers to argue that low or missing tips punish workers for problems they often cannot contr

  8. Action-Movie Logic

    The crew and callers catalogued action clichés including hacked alien computers, villains explaining death traps, heroes who never reload, immortal bad guys, endless countdowns, and fruit carts destroyed in every chase.

  9. Banana Battle for Metallica

    Ashley prepared to face caller Megan in a one-minute banana-eating contest for Metallica tickets as everyone argued over whether bananas should be green, yellow, or soft and spotted.

  10. Mocking the Padres Excuses

    Mikey role-played a Padres spokesman and blamed patience, prospects, revenue, and even the marine layer while Eddie attacked ownership for breaking its promise to build a winning team after Petco Park opened.

  11. Lying to Get the Job

    Callers and staff confessed to inventing diplomas, Padres fandom, sociology research, and YouTube views to land jobs or credit, then debated whether resourcefulness excused dishonesty.

  12. The 90210 Verdict

    Mikey and Eddie mocked the new 90210's acting, nostalgia, and trendy video-blog plot while Sky and Rebecca defended the premiere as an addictive update of a show they grew up with.
