Mikey, Skye, Sean, Ashley, and Boston Rob moved between prepared comedy and long arguments, with Flounder's 'B-Rob Talks' parody mocking Rob's quietness and Ashley's 'War of the Curls' winning Reality Bites. Mikey and Skye sparred over women's tattoos, à la carte cable, and whether apparent ghosts are demons or possibly benevolent spirits, while the group later split over conventional medicine versus echinacea, tea, and vitamins. The crew ridiculed Tom Cruise's psychiatric-drug claims, private sonogram machine, and 'silent birth,' while Missy argued that Katie Holmes seemed afraid of him. Mikey also admitted relapsing to two or three cigarettes a day because Rebecca was smoking again, and the show closed with celebrity-birthday punches for Boston Rob and a Lost debate over Jack versus Sawyer.

What happened, in order

  1. The tattoo line

    Caller Johnny, Mikey, and Skye argued over whether sleeve tattoos make women less attractive and whether the real issue is the artwork, its location, or gendered expectations.

  2. Cable by the channel

    Mikey and Skye debated an à la carte cable proposal, weighing lower bills for viewers against the likely disappearance of little-watched channels.

  3. B-Rob Talks

    After Boston Rob admitted that bad timing and low confidence keep him quiet on air, the crew played Flounder's elaborate parody song mocking his silence, accent, dreadlocks, and breakfast runs.

  4. Reality Bites

    Skye read three deliberately outrageous reality-show pitches written by Mikey, Sean, and Ashley, and Ashley's body-hair contest 'War of the Curls' won the audience vote.

  5. Borat answers Kazakhstan

    The crew explained Kazakhstan's threatened lawsuit over Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat character and laughed as Borat's mock response doubled down on the country's supposed backwardness.

  6. Tom Cruise under fire

    Mikey, Skye, Sean, and Missy dissected Tom Cruise's claims about psychiatric drugs, Katie Holmes, their private sonogram machine, and Scientology's 'silent birth,' with Missy arguing that Holmes appeared frightened of hi

  7. Ghosts, angels, or demons

    After Iraq veteran Jordan described alarms, magnets, and a stereo behaving by themselves, Mikey and callers debated whether ghosts are demons, protective angels, dead relatives, or simple malfunctions.

  8. The singing flight attendant

    A discussion of airport rules turned into Mikey's furious complaint that jokey Southwest flight attendants and chatty pilots interrupted Lost on his iPod, while Ashley defended their attempts to entertain passengers.

  9. Mikey starts smoking again

    Mikey admitted he had relapsed to two or three cigarettes a day because Rebecca was smoking again and said his plan was for the couple to quit together, possibly with hypnosis.

  10. Medicine versus herbs

    Boston Rob and Ashley defended avoiding painkillers and relying on tea, vitamins, and echinacea, while Mikey argued that effective medicine is not suspicious merely because it changes how the body feels.

  11. Birthdays and body blows

    During celebrity birthday guesses, Bobby Kernels filled in for Eddie by punching Boston Rob for wrong answers, including eight blows after Rob badly missed Dick Clark's age.

  12. Jack versus Sawyer

    The crew previewed 'What Kate Did' and split over Lost's love triangle, with Mikey and Ashley calling Jack humorless while Skye defended him as the island's burdened doctor and leader.
