Eddie dominated the outdoor Guitar Hero contest, while Boston Rob failed, raged at the toy guitar, and became the running joke of the night. The live event mixed panda-costume chaos, retro-game nostalgia, and a police warning that alcohol could get the crowd and planned movies shut down. Mikey thanked Eddie and argued that the unusual 28-hour format gave him a rare chance to speak openly about his Christian faith. The emotional center was Jennifer Kaler and Patrick Iverson's account of Patrick surviving a car accident with help from rescuer Bob Misko and Children's Hospital, followed by T-Rex asking for prayers for his daughter Hannah.

What happened, in order

  1. Outdoor Guitar Hero showdown

    Eddie scored 22,903 and hit 85 percent of the notes before color-blind Boston Rob failed the song, blamed the toy guitar, and threatened to burn every copy of the game.

  2. Panda and retro games

    Rob and Eddie reminisced about Tecmo Bowl, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, and NBA Jam while a birthday-hat-wearing panda danced among the crowd.

  3. Police threaten shutdown

    Mikey warned the outdoor crowd that San Diego police would shut down the event and cancel the movies unless everyone got rid of their alcohol.

  4. Dr. Phil's terrible gift advice

    A listener named Daniel asked how to handle his wife's awful presents, prompting the show's Dr. Phil character to reject honest communication in favor of an escalating run of deliberately cruel and absurd suggestions.

  5. Mikey prepares his testimony

    After thanking Eddie for carrying the marathon broadcast, Mikey said he would share his Christian testimony because faith was the biggest part of his life and the unconventional 28-hour show offered a rare place to discu

  6. Patrick's survival story

    Jennifer Kaler told how Bob Misko revived her 14-month-old son Patrick Iverson after a car ran over him, and Patrick, now 14, said he loves sports and surfing.

  7. A nurse's unforgettable hug

    Jennifer recalled that when alarms sounded and doctors rushed Patrick away, an unnamed Children's Hospital nurse sat with her and held her while her family was still traveling from Spain.

  8. Prayer for Hannah

    Caller T-Rex asked listeners to pray for his 20-month-old daughter Hannah before a CAT scan that could lead to skull surgery, then praised the hospital staff who had also cared for two children his family lost.

  9. Thirteen years on the air

    Mikey reflected on joining Rock 102 in 1995, while P1 Wall said he had converted eight coworkers into fans during the 28-hour broadcast.
