The show turned Boston Rob's prized Red Sox hair into a live fundraiser: listeners donated, Rady's Children's Hospital received half, and the crew fumbled with a Flowbee before shaving him while chasing a $1,000 Yankees-NY goal. Carrie Fisher joked about LSD and memory loss from shock therapy, while Tom Scotto argued that O.J. Simpson had been targeted in the Las Vegas memorabilia case even though he admitted O.J. acted foolishly. Ashley defeated Misty three cookies to two and three-quarters, and Mikey read Danny's tender holiday letter about 52 years of marriage to Esther. Other memorable stories included John Schneider's missing Christmas puppies, the Rod Blagojevich Senate-seat scandal, a severe Toys for Tots shortfall, and the crew's horrified replay of Corey Hill's UFC leg break.

What happened, in order

  1. Yankees Hair for Charity

    The crew challenged listeners to raise $1,000 so die-hard Red Sox fan Boston Rob would have a Yankees NY shaved into his hair, with half the money going to Rady's Children's Hospital.

  2. Carrie Fisher's Treatments

    Carrie Fisher joked that she ignored Cary Grant's warning about LSD and said electroconvulsive therapy helped her despite erasing four months of memory.

  3. O.J.'s Best Friend

    Tom Scotto defended O.J. Simpson as his best friend and argued that the Las Vegas memorabilia robbery had been engineered to trap him, while conceding that O.J. had acted foolishly.

  4. The Flowbee Fiasco

    Eddie's Flowbee initially only vacuumed Boston Rob's hair because it was not powered correctly, so the crew switched to clippers as listeners arrived with donations.

  5. Stolen Christmas Puppies

    John Schneider's stolen Cadillac Escalade was recovered, but the two Yorkie puppies he had bought his children for Christmas were still missing.

  6. The Senate Seat Scandal

    After joking about pronouncing Rod Blagojevich's name, the hosts debated whether the Illinois governor shopped Barack Obama's Senate seat himself or entertained offers from would-be buyers.

  7. Christmas Cookie Showdown

    Ashley treated her one-minute cookie race against Misty like a title fight and won by eating three cookies to Misty's two and three-quarters.

  8. Danny's Holiday Letter

    Mikey read his father Danny's first holiday letter, which celebrated 52 years with Esther, their children and grandchildren, and the couple still holding hands and declaring their love.

  9. Toys for Tots Shortfall

    Staff Sergeant Russ said San Diego's Toys for Tots operation was filling fewer than half its orders and especially needed gifts for preteens, teenagers, and toddlers.

  10. The TiVo Backlog

    Mikey, Sky, Eddie, and Sean compared the shows piling up on their recorders and debated whether a Slingbox and in-flight internet could finally make that backlog watchable.

  11. Corey Hill's Leg Break

    The crew watched Corey Hill's gruesome UFC leg break in slow motion and described Joe Rogan urgently shouting for the fight to be stopped.
