Mikey and the crew remembered Paul Newman, then let Ashley argue that John McCain looked more experienced than Barack Obama in the debate even as the others questioned her grasp of the bailout, energy policy, and Iraq. Sean Merriman explained his knee rehab, formidable workouts, and Norv Turner's no-hype halftime coaching, while Skye and callers unpacked the Somali pirate seizure of a weapons ship. The show's comic center included Sean's intensely curated 1980s countdown, a fussy Klondike bar demonstration, Boston Rob watching a pre-spoiled Sixth Sense, and Dr. Steve Brule's revolting second-stomach sketch. Mikey also launched the Meet Lori dating contest, the crew recoiled from an Iowa woman's bat-brewed coffee, and Shia LaBeouf's legal update veered into his childhood selling food in a family clown act.

What happened, in order

  1. Remembering Paul Newman

    The crew mourned Paul Newman, praised his acting and food products, and fumbled through his roles in Message in a Bottle, The Color of Money, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

  2. Somali Pirates Take the Tanks

    Skye explained how Somali pirates hijacked a Ukrainian ship full of tanks and weapons, prompting a debate over ransom, naval intervention, and whether modern pirates are real.

  3. Merriman in Rehab

    Sean Merriman described his knee rehabilitation, analyzed the Chargers' comeback, explained Norv Turner's practical halftime style, and stunned the hosts with his workout routine.

  4. Klondike Bar Lesson

    Eddie demonstrated the elaborate wrapper technique for eating a Klondike bar while Mikey and Skye complained that the melting chocolate and whipped texture made it messy and cheap.

  5. Sean's Top Five 80s Songs

    Sean unveiled a painfully curated 1980s top five featuring the Blow Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Wang Chung, Spandau Ballet, and Culture Club while everyone mocked his obscure and theatrical choices.

  6. Ashley Breaks Down the Debate

    Ashley used her notes to argue that John McCain sounded more experienced and forceful than Barack Obama, while the others challenged her reading of the bailout, energy, Iraq, and the polls.

  7. The Sixth Sense, Already Spoiled

    Boston Rob finally watched The Sixth Sense on VHS but admitted he asked whether Bruce Willis was dead before it began, then fixated on Donnie Wahlberg's weight loss and misidentified Scarlett Johansson.

  8. Meet Lori

    Mikey launched a dating contest for his friend Lori, insisted applicants submit photos, and claimed he—not Lori—would choose her date for the upcoming 28-hour show.

  9. Dr. Brule's Second Stomach

    The show played Dr. Steve Brule's grotesque fake medical pitch for a second stomach with an artificial food pipe and Velcro disposal flap, then treated the absurd procedure as perfectly simple.

  10. Bat-Brewed Coffee

    Skye told the story of an Iowa woman who unknowingly brewed and drank coffee through a bat, leaving the animal too cooked for rabies testing and Sean unable to find a bright side.

  11. Shia's Clown-Family Childhood

    A report on Shia LaBeouf's disputed license suspension turned into his story about growing up in a family clown act that sold hot dogs and snow cones in Echo Park.
