Mikey, Eddie, Skye, Ashley and Boston Rob moved between comic games, celebrity stories and unusually personal calls. The longest argument centered on Jason and Melissa: his secret contact with Colleen undermined his claim that a firefighter had simply stolen Melissa, and Mikey urged him to accept the breakup and work on himself. Doug Benson's Spoonman riff, the Village Idiom game and the Hidden City Derby Girls supplied the show's strongest comedy, while the crew also mocked Paris Hilton's space fears, Miley Cyrus's age-gap romance and the implausible backwards-B assault story. Mikey ended on a serious note, recounting his alcoholism, Christian recovery and the hope represented by an ordinary moment with his young son.

What happened, in order

  1. Palin Diplomacy

    Eddie calls Sarah Palin "freakishly gorgeous" and jokes that her looks alone could persuade foreign leaders to hand over oil and money.

  2. The HIV Tipping Point

    Skye reports that one person may have exposed 50 Missouri high-school students to HIV, and Mikey uses The Tipping Point to argue that diseases can spread through one highly connected person just as fashions do.

  3. The Village Idiom

    Ashley confidently mangles "cut off your nose to spite your face" and other idioms while callers win prizes by deciding whether her improvised definitions are right.

  4. Paris Lost in Space

    Paris Hilton says she fears a celebrity spaceflight could return her 10,000 years later after everyone she knows is dead, leaving the hosts stunned by her grasp of light years.

  5. Jason and Melissa

    Jason says a firefighter stole Melissa from him, but Melissa joins the call to describe his hidden contact with Colleen, notes and MySpace posts, leading Mikey to call his behavior cheating and manipulation and tell him

  6. Doug Benson Drops In

    Doug Benson visits before his House of Blues show and riffs with the crew about Spoonman, Last Comic Standing, Super High Me and Ashley's baffling Jerry Seinfeld impression.

  7. Hidden City Derby Girls

    Morticia Demolicia, St. Val Massacre, Lady Smith 357 and Cindy Sadist explain flat-track roller derby, its jammers and blockers, and invite women to join their Escondido league.

  8. Miley's Age Gap

    The crew dissects 15-year-old Miley Cyrus's evasive answer about 20-year-old Justin, arguing that the age gap makes the rumored romance troubling while mocking Ryan Seacrest's fixation on Justin's looks.

  9. The Backwards B

    Mikey and the crew pick apart a McCain supporter's alleged political assault, focusing on her changing account, the ATM footage and a suspiciously neat backwards B scratched into her cheek.

  10. The 1929 Laptop Crash

    After Skye reports a steep Dow drop and halted premarket trading, the crew turns the 1929 crash into an absurd riff about Dell computers, spyware and the invention of Control-Alt-Delete.

  11. Mikey's Recovery Testimony

    Mikey describes severe alcoholism and hopelessness, credits surrendering to God for his recovery, and says a quiet bedtime moment with his son showed him how completely his life had changed.
