- Get in the Ring returns from a commercial break and Sir Adam is informed that Mick Foley is on the line. Foley confirms it is him and said he overheard talk of Shelton Benjamin. He decided to call in and see how everyone was.
- Talk turned to the last time Foley was on the show and said he got in trouble because of comments he made about the Honky Tonk Man. Sir Adam said they got an e-mail from the Honky Tonk Man about coming on the show because he is very upset. Foley asked Sir Adam to go back and check to see if he actually said anything bad about him because he didn't think he did. Sir Adam brought up how he read a bunch of stuff on the internet about the situation and thinks he is the one he may have said it instead of Foley. Foley mentioned that he spoke with the Honky Tonk Man recently and told him he may have been quoted wrong because it didn't sound like him.
- Foley then went on to state that he was quoted as saying Jake "The Snake" Roberts neck injury was due to a stiff guitar shot from the Honky Tonk Man. He mentioned how the Honky Tonk Man said that couldn't have been possible as the guitar wasn't strong enough and actually went out with a neck injury two years later. Foley says they may up having a few choice words between them if they end up meeting up at a future independent show. Sir Adam metioned how the Honky Tonk Man has a huge amount of loyal fans and if anyone says anything bad about him, they let him know and he is on the internet right away with a response. Foley brought up how one of his good friends had to tell him what the Honky Tonk Man said since he doesn't know how to use a computer and asked to never let him know about stuff like that on the internet in the future.
- Sir Adam then plays a pre-planned segment involving Lanny Poffo shooting on Ole Anderson. Foley said he was surprised about how mad he was in that segment. He added that the only heat he has ever had with Lanny is the rumors of him being cheaper than he is.
- Talk turned to Foley's recent involvement with WWE and coming out of retirement. Foley said it was a great run being involved with WrestleMania XX and his feud with Randy Orton. Sir Adam said his match with Orton at Backlash was great and really helped him elevate in the WWE roster. Foley said he wanted to relax after that match took place, but ended up having to take the red eye flight back home to be with his son who happened to catch the Rotavirus. He said he really wanted that day after to just sleep in and relax, comparing it to the post-sex cigarette. Foley mentioned that he caught RAW the night after in Calgary and saw how the crowd started chanting Orton's name. He said although Orton would still stay as a heel, that was a sign of appreciation for what they did .
- Sir Adam brought up how Terry Funk has done the same in his career where he would leave, return and leave again. Foley said Funk has done it a lot and thinks he may have done it close to 21 times if he is not mistaken. He said his last conversation with the "Funker" was when he was promoting his "Tietam Brown" novel and realized that Funk could have played the Tietam Brown character. Foley said Funk bought the book, read it in one day and called him saying he could make that character work in real life.
- In a very funny moment on the show, Foley said he had something very top secret he wanted to play. Foley said he had a tape of Vince McMahon singing Happy Birthday to him. After Foley got done playing it, Sir Adam brought up how many people have this image of Vince McMahon that he is cold hearted and how his boss never calls him on his birthday. Foley said people have the wrong idea of Vince and thinks he is a great guy.
- The Phantom, who was on vacation and wasn't scheduled to join the show, came on and Sir Adam said they didn't expect that great of a show this week and had no clue Foley was calling in. Foley laughed and said they only time he usually comes on the show is to plug something. He mentioned that he will be releasing a children's book based on WWE characters on October 5th, saying he will come back to talk more about it then. Sir Adam brought up how they are working hard on an upcoming book with interviews with over 70 wrestlers discussing different topics. Sir Adam mentioned that Ole Anderson would be in it and Foley was surprised that Ole would do interviews like that, wondering if he was enjoying talking about the business with them. Sir Adam quickly added that Ole is still Ole and didn't try to kiss their ass at all. Sir Adam mentioned how Ole didn't give him a free copy of his book while Foley came to the studio, gave tons of copies along with many autographs.
- The Phantom mentioned how he was on vacation in the Amish country and was bored out of his mind only to find out Mick Foley called into the show. Foley asked why he went there in the first place since you are suppose to be bored visiting. The Phantom mentioned how a kid driving them in a buggie was wearing a Yankees hat and said he wasn't into the Amish lifestyle that much. Foley brought up documentary called "Devil's Playground" that will ruin anyones opinion about the Amish lifestyle since at age 16 they have the choice if they want to continue with the religion. He added a funny note that Sable is actually in the documentary because an Amish kid is looking at her Playboy spread.
