The show centered on the fatal University City F/A-18 crash: Mikey and Sky described the family killed, eyewitnesses described the low flight and burning debris, and former pilot Michael argued Miramar was the proper target until a second failure forced ejection. Sky also brought in national news about Rod Blagojevich allegedly selling Barack Obama's Senate seat, the Prop 8 'Day Without a Gay' protest, Imperial Beach's anger at Secret Millionaire, and Paula Abdul's accusations against Fox, American Idol producers and Simon Cowell. The comedy came from Tor Constantino's revolting mustache stunt, Boston Rob's O.J. street interviews, a surprisingly successful P1 Password round, and a Bill Clinton impersonator pitching stolen radio bits. The crew also turned Boston Rob's hated haircut into a fundraiser for Rady's Children's Hospital, while caller Tyler stunned them with a $4,500 month of newspaper-route tips.

What happened, in order

  1. F-18 crashes into family home

    Mikey and Sky reported that an F/A-18 struck a University City home, killing a mother, grandmother and two babies, while the pilot ejected near Miramar.

  2. Tor's unbreakable mustache gag

    Mikey and Eddie remembered Tor Constantino blowing mucus into his giant mustache, making them collapse with laughter while he calmly delivered serious news.

  3. The $4,500 paper route

    Caller Tyler said his La Jolla newspaper route brought him $4,500 in December tips, including one $150 gift.

  4. A Senate seat for sale

    Sky broke the news that Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich had been arrested for allegedly trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, and the crew marveled that he discussed it while suspecting a wiretap.

  5. A Day Without a Gay

    Sky explained the Prop 8 protest's call for gay workers to stay home and volunteer, while Eddie questioned whether a walkout across varied occupations would demonstrate a clear economic impact.

  6. An F-18 pilot explains

    Former F-18 pilot Michael described 'aviate, navigate, communicate,' arguing Miramar was the logical landing target and that a linked second-engine failure likely forced the late ejection.

  7. You Got Rob: O.J. verdict

    Boston Rob asked pedestrians about O.J. Simpson's new sentence, repeatedly heard that karma caught up with him, and derailed interviews with jokes about the Jonas Brothers, K-Fed and Sky's love of ham.

  8. Shave Boston Rob for charity

    The crew persuaded fiercely reluctant Boston Rob to shave his long-grown hair, promising half the donations to Rady's Children's Hospital and a Yankees logo if listeners raised $1,000.

  9. Secret Millionaire insults IB

    Sky said Imperial Beach residents were angry that Fox's Secret Millionaire depicted their city as a dangerous slum and even claimed 250,000 people lived below poverty in a town of only 28,000.

  10. P1 Password surprise

    Boston Rob and Zeth unexpectedly swept five Password clues in 60 seconds, with 'Sky takes baths' supplying the final answer.

  11. Bill Clinton steals the show

    A Bill Clinton impersonator pitched a replacement for Bill O'Reilly's radio show by shamelessly recycling Mikey Show bits and mocking Hillary Clinton through increasingly absurd segment ideas.

  12. Paula Abdul versus Idol

    Sky relayed Paula Abdul's claim to Barbara Walters that American Idol producers ignored her warning about an obsessed fan and that Fox, the producers and Simon Cowell were conspiring to ruin her career; the hosts dispute
