Mikey and the crew reacted to the University City jet crash by focusing on the bereaved father's refusal to blame the pilot, then turned a suspicious FedEx delivery in a Penske van into a debate about sensible caution. Skye's stories about a cashier's revealing pants and putting her overweight cat on a harness drew sustained ridicule, while Ashley's scratch cake triggered a mock feud over Starbucks brownies, frosting, and whether anyone actually liked it. The show also argued over Rod Blagojevich's alleged attempt to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat, Joe Satriani's plagiarism suit against Coldplay, and a list that ranked Blade Runner above Alien. Sean accidentally aired profanity from Unforgiven, and the final caller's complaint that saying TiVo sounded elitist became the morning's comic climax after he admitted he owned a DVR.

What happened, in order

  1. A father forgives the pilot

    After a fighter jet destroyed his University City home and killed his wife, two children, and mother-in-law, the bereaved father said he did not blame the pilot and asked people to pray for him.

  2. FedEx in a Penske

    Mikey refused to open his door for a uniformed FedEx driver arriving in a Penske van, prompting a long argument over holiday rentals, home-invasion fears, and reasonable caution.

  3. Skye's checkout shock

    Skye described spotting an intimate wardrobe malfunction on a chatty cashier, then debated with Eddie and Mikey whether the woman knew, whether Skye should warn her, and whether calling the store would only get her in tr

  4. Kidnapping found at a traffic stop

    Skye reported that an elderly woman told El Cajon police she had been kidnapped after officers stopped her car, with one fleeing suspect captured and another still being sought.

  5. Bush does approval math

    A George W. Bush impersonator answered the crew's discussion of Barack Obama's transition rating with jokes about Sudoku, Scrabble, Tetris, and bombing Iran to boost approval.

  6. The Senate seat auction

    The hosts explained the federal case accusing Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat and predicted that more names would surface because someone had to be making or hearing

  7. Satriani versus Coldplay

    The crew compared Joe Satriani's song with Coldplay's “Viva la Vida” and mocked Coldplay's request that he accept their assurance that the similarities were coincidental.

  8. Walking the fat cat

    After an Animal Planet show frightened her about Tango's weight, Skye said she would buy the cat a harness for exercise while the others argued that smaller portions made more sense and teased her as a future cat lady.

  9. Ashley's cake feud

    Ashley's proud presentation of a homemade cake collapsed into a mock feud when Eddie admitted filling up on Starbucks brownies, the crew mocked her slip about baking frosting, and everyone took suspiciously tiny bites.

  10. The sci-fi ranking war

    A best-science-fiction-movies list set off a rapid-fire argument over Blade Runner at number one, the ordering of Alien and Aliens, and whether titles such as Jaws, Back to the Future, and Conan even belonged in the genr

  11. Unforgiven goes uncensored

    Sean played an Unforgiven scene he had supposedly checked for profanity, only for an obscenity to air and leave Mikey predicting they would retell the blunder for years.

  12. The TiVo elitism call

    A caller said the hosts sounded elitist whenever they used TiVo as a generic verb, but his complaint unraveled when he admitted he was a cable technician who owned a DVR himself.
