Boston Rob turned the Red Sox's 8-7 ALCS comeback into comic theater, crediting David Ortiz, an unwashed jersey, and carefully protected seating 'hot spots.' John McCain admitted to David Letterman that he mishandled his cancellation, while Rashad Evans explained why pressure, experience, and game planning mattered in several major UFC matchups. The crew debated San Diego's obligation to recognize medical marijuana and urged P1 Pancakes to spend real life with Paul before marrying a man she had met only a few times. Mikey rejected Dennis Leary's autism defense through his experience with Jake, joined Eddie and Boston Rob's ridiculous Jake Peavy trade negotiation and Palin parody, and ended with a stark account of addiction, faith, and recovery.

What happened, in order

  6. Dennis Leary's autism backlash

    The crew rejected Dennis Leary's claim that his comments about supposedly inattentive parents and 'dumb' children were aimed only at self-diagnosing adults, with Mikey grounding his criticism in the fear he felt when his

  7. The Jake Peavy trade summit

    Eddie and Boston Rob role-played Padres and Red Sox general managers, batting away absurd packages involving Jake Peavy, Coco Crisp, David Ortiz, Dustin Pedroia, and Trevor Hoffman.

  8. Palin the power ballad

    Boston Rob performed 'Palin,' a Christopher Cross-style parody about Sarah Palin's looks, hockey moms, and her ability to see Russia, while the studio gleefully acted out the imaginary video.

  9. The Booby Trap lawsuit

    The show marveled at a Florida patron suing a strip club called the Booby Trap after a dancer's flying shoe shattered a mirrored ceiling and falling glass cut his eyebrow.

  10. Mikey's recovery testimony

    Mikey closed the show by describing alcoholism, bulimia, depression, and self-hatred, crediting faith in Jesus Christ with rebuilding his family and life and directing hopeless listeners toward help.
