Mikey, Eddie, and the crew mocked the Backstreet Boys' World Series anthem as the 'Backstreet Men,' parsed Brett Favre's denial that he fed Matt Millen Packers intelligence, and debated whether Chris Cornell's Timbaland-produced sound was a smart pop turn. Reed Timmer described chasing tornadoes in an unarmored Hyundai and surviving giant hail, while intern Gabrielle Weimer explained how resubmitting old fingerprints helped identify Gerald Metcalf in Gerald Jackson's 37-year-old murder case. Bill O'Reilly's appearance on The View sparked an argument over calling Barack Obama a communist or socialist, and Sean then fought Mikey, Eddie, and Boston Rob over whether HOAs should ban driveway basketball and neighborhood noise. JD defended his gas-masked nun Halloween display against a neighbor's FBI complaint, and Ashley's Tone Deaf Karaoke sent callers hunting for Tom Petty, Notorious B.I.G., and Audioslave songs.

What happened, in order

  1. Backstreet Men Anthem

    The crew replayed the Backstreet Boys' World Series national anthem and mocked the aging quartet as the 'Backstreet Men,' accountants, bankers, and market analysts.

  2. Favre's Packers Intel

    Brett Favre denied handing Matt Millen a Packers playbook but admitted that sharing opponent information is common, leaving the hosts arguing that his explanation sounded evasive.

  3. Cornell Goes Pop

    After sampling Chris Cornell's Timbaland-produced song 'Watch Out,' the hosts agreed it sounded nothing like Soundgarden or Audioslave but could become a major club and pop hit.

  4. The Work Spouse Debate

    Mikey used a seven-sign checklist to label Eddie and Skye work spouses, prompting an argument over whether close opposite-sex coworkers provide healthy support or threaten real marriages.

  5. Inside the Tornado

    Storm Chasers star Reed Timmer described pursuing tornadoes in an unarmored Hyundai, dodging airborne hay bales and softball-sized hail, and taking paying customers on tornado tours.

  6. Intern Cracks Cold Case

    Intern Gabrielle Weimer explained how resubmitting preserved fingerprints helped police identify Gerald Metcalf in the 37-year-old murder of Gerald Jackson.

  7. O'Reilly Battles The View

    The show dissected Bill O'Reilly calling Barack Obama a communist and then a socialist as Joy Behar and Elisabeth Hasselbeck traded accusations about ideology and manufacturing news clips.

  8. HOA No-Fun Zone

    Sean defended HOA bans on driveway basketball and neighborhood noise while Mikey, Eddie, and Boston Rob argued that playing outside is normal family life and a basic freedom of homeownership.

  9. Napalm Nun Halloween

    JD defended a horror-filled yard display featuring a gas-masked 'Napalm Nun' after a neighbor called it traumatic, complained to the FBI, and tried to frame it as a hate crime.

  10. Tone Deaf Karaoke

    Callers deciphered Ashley's mangled renditions of Tom Petty, the Notorious B.I.G., and Audioslave songs to win Chris Cornell tickets.
