Mikey and Skye argued over Sarah Palin's Republican convention speech: Skye called it attack-heavy and short on policy, while Mikey said both parties attack and Barack Obama often substitutes inspiring rhetoric for specifics. Chargers linebacker Sean Merriman said four specialists let him choose whether to play through torn knee ligaments and that he would postpone six-month surgery to avoid losing the season; Alton Brown separately explained Feasting on Waves and said cooking Caribbean fish soup turned a wary bar owner into a friend. In the studio, Megan beat Ashley by eating nearly three bananas as Ashley gagged and germaphobe Sean recoiled, while Sean's earlier complaints about dust and shower residue became a mock hotel-service dispute. The show also covered Tatum Bell allegedly taking Rudy Johnson's luggage, a Craigslist robbery staged at a vacant house, abusive Point Loma Nazarene hazing, and Rage Against the Machine marching with protesters after police blocked its set. Callers traded stories of copying dangerous movie and television stunts, including bike jumps, roof leaps, train-track chicken, and a failed backflip that caused temporary paralysis.

What happened, in order

  1. The Stolen Luggage

    Rudy Johnson said Tatum Bell took his luggage after being cut by the Lions and returned the bags without his clothes, cash, wallet, or credit cards.

  2. Palin's Convention Speech

    Skye called Sarah Palin's convention speech polished but overly negative, while Mikey argued that Democrats also attacked opponents and often offered inspiring rhetoric instead of specifics.

  3. Sean Reviews His Room

    The hosts turned germaphobe Sean's complaints about dust, shower residue, and a low showerhead into a mock hotel-service call with his embarrassed host.

  4. Merriman Explains His Knee

    Sean Merriman said four specialists gave him the choice to play through torn knee ligaments, and he chose to postpone six-month surgery rather than miss the Chargers' season.

  5. Alton Brown on Food and Connection

    Alton Brown described sailing the Caribbean for Feasting on Waves and said cooking fish soup with a wary bar owner turned distrust into friendship.

  6. The Banana Showdown

    Megan ate nearly three bananas in one minute while Ashley gagged on the mushy texture, lost decisively, and left germaphobe Sean horrified by the mess.

  7. Do Not Try This at Home

    The hosts and callers recalled copying dangerous screen stunts, including homemade bike ramps, train-track chicken, roof jumps, car-window dives, and a backflip that caused temporary paralysis.

  8. Craigslist Trap House

    A couple allegedly advertised a plasma television, lured a cash-carrying buyer to a vacant rental house, pulled a weapon, and failed to rob him when he fought back and escaped.

  9. Point Loma Hazing

    Point Loma Nazarene fired residence hall director Josh after freshmen were allegedly forced to march naked to the ocean, swim, endure slaps, and suffer degrading abuse.

  10. Rage Joins the Protest

    After police stopped Rage Against the Machine from playing an unpermitted protest set, the band marched with the crowd as everyone sang two of its songs a cappella.
