The broadcast features the "third ever Mikey Show Idol" singing competition, where six staff members—Sean, Eddie, Boston Rob, Skye, Ashley, and Mikey—perform popular songs, mostly using original tracks. The competition quickly devolves into controversy as reigning champion Sean performs Blondie's "The Tide is High" with improvised lyrics, infuriating Eddie. Eddie retaliates by performing Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine" with his own lyrics and political ad-libs. After performances by Boston Rob, Skye, Ashley, and Mikey, listener phone votes advance Skye, Mikey, and Boston Rob to the next round, prompting a furious Eddie to dramatically exit the studio in protest.
