Mikey, Sky, Eddie, Sean, Boston Rob, and Ashley mixed political argument with escalating studio comedy, criticizing John McCain for suspending his campaign and for misleading David Letterman about why he canceled. They mocked David Blaine's upside-down breaks, debated Sean's decision to report masked teenagers at a mall, and split over hosts who ban guests' children while keeping their own at a party. Rob's habanero mistake, Sky's low-key anniversary dinner, Ashley's tone-deaf karaoke, and a parade of valuable keepsakes that were discarded or lost supplied the show's strongest personal stories. The crew closed its most memorable stretches by ranking classic hip-hop and turning a bizarre police-battery story into an armpit-fart contest.

What happened, in order

  1. McCain Hits Pause

    The hosts argued that John McCain's decision to suspend his campaign during the Wall Street bailout made him look afraid to debate Barack Obama and unable to multitask.

  2. Letterman Catches McCain

    David Letterman mocked John McCain after McCain canceled on him to supposedly rush to Washington but was shown still in New York interviewing with Katie Couric.

  3. Blaine's Hourly Breaks

    The crew ridiculed David Blaine's 60-hour upside-down stunt after learning that he was turned upright for breaks roughly every hour.

  4. Hockey Mask at the Mall

    Sean called police after seeing five teenagers dressed in black at a mall with a Halloween hockey mask and large black duffel bags, and the group debated whether that caution was justified.

  5. Rob Bites a Habanero

    Boston Rob mistook colorful habaneros for miniature bell peppers, sliced several for dinner, tasted one, and immediately set his mouth on fire.

  6. No Kids Means Whose Kids?

    A listener arrived at a supposedly child-free party to find the hosts' children there, prompting an argument over whether hosts may exclude everyone else's kids while keeping their own.

  7. Sky's Diner Anniversary

    Sky and her husband abandoned their anniversary plan for Outback Steakhouse and instead toasted eight years of marriage over water and iced tea at a neighborhood diner.

  8. Treasures Thrown Away

    Mikey revealed that his mother discarded his Steve Young-autographed 49ers cap, launching stories about lost memorabilia including Boston Rob's signed Larry Bird and Magic Johnson picture.

  9. The Ring Was Waiting

    After a caller admitted losing his grandfather's wedding ring at a drunken party, Mikey recalled a rehab friend who confessed to selling his father's championship ring for drugs only to learn his father had already recov

  10. Tone-Deaf Karaoke

    Listeners tried to identify songs from Ashley's wildly off-key performances, somehow recognizing tracks by 3 Doors Down, Sister Hazel, Cher, and the Clash.

  11. Hip-Hop's Top Five

    The crew guessed through VH1's greatest hip-hop songs and landed on Public Enemy's 'Fight the Power' at number one while debating whether an old-school hip-hop station could work.

  12. Silent but Deadly Battery

    A West Virginia DUI suspect was charged with battery after farting toward a police officer and wafting it into his face, inspiring the hosts to attempt armpit-fart sound effects.
