Skye tried to teach Ashley why the economy was failing, and the crew later argued over whether Bush, Clinton, China, NAFTA, or the normal economic cycle deserved blame before jokingly naming the era 'the Greater Depression.' Mikey, Eddie, and the callers reacted to Seth Cravens's murder conviction and uncovered a string of painful childhood pet deceptions, capped by David's unbelievable story of two dachshunds named Zoe. Mikey announced that the show would broadcast from the Palms for The Ultimate Fighter 8 finale and give listeners two Las Vegas trips, while Ashley booked a Cheetos-eating showdown with Melissa. Other standout bits turned Rihanna's 'Disturbia' into a gas song, mocked a tool bag lost in space, blamed abandoned bonfire embers for the Santa Barbara fire, fought over Thanksgiving leftovers, and riffed on Hollywood children's names.

What happened, in order

  1. Economics on a walk

    Ashley tried to repeat Skye's walk-and-talk explanation of the housing crash, the military-industrial complex, and widening inequality while the hosts argued about spreading wealth and political blame.

  2. Cravens found guilty

    The crew reported Seth Cravens's second-degree murder conviction in the death of surfer Emery Kauanui and debated whether feeling happy about the verdict was justice or an uncomfortable reaction to another family's ruin.

  3. Rocket went to a ranch

    Rachel learned at 27 that her parents' story about her childhood dog Rocket moving to a roomy new home concealed the fact that he had been hit by a car, prompting Eddie and callers to share similar family lies.

  4. The two Zoes

    David's father replaced a missing dachshund with an identical dog, only for the original Zoe to return and both dogs to run into the street and be killed by the same car.

  5. Disturbia decoded

    Mikey and the crew deliberately mangled Rihanna's 'Disturbia' into a song about gas, traffic, lactose intolerance, and needing a side of rice.

  6. UFC trip to Vegas

    Mikey surprised Eddie by announcing a live show from the Palms for The Ultimate Fighter 8 finale and a giveaway of two Las Vegas trips for listeners.

  7. Tool bag lost in space

    The hosts marveled that an Endeavour astronaut lost a backpack-sized tool bag during a spacewalk after a grease gun leaked, then turned the accident into an extended lost-purse routine.

  8. Cheetos showdown

    Ashley accepted a weighed-Cheetos eating contest against listener Melissa after the crew recalled her intensely competitive, sometimes tearful record in earlier food challenges.

  9. Bonfire sparked the wildfire

    Skye said investigators traced the Santa Barbara fire that destroyed 210 homes to smoldering embers left by ten college students, and the group condemned their carelessness before detouring into television-fire jokes.

  10. Naming the recession

    Mikey asked what history would call the current economic collapse, Skye and the others traded blame over Bush, Clinton, China, and NAFTA, and the room landed on jokes including 'the Greater Depression' and 'Festival of t

  11. Thanksgiving sandwich war

    A turkey-brining discussion became a fierce argument among Mikey, Eddie, Skye, and Boston Rob over Wonder Bread versus French bread, dark versus white meat, and whether leftovers should include gravy, stuffing, potatoes,

  12. Hollywood toddler names

    While guessing Forbes's most powerful Hollywood toddlers, the crew mocked celebrity baby names, celebrated the absurd 'Qui-Gon Jinn' guess, and learned that two entries were both named Sam.
