Christian faithreligious outreachlistener callscharity fundraisermovie debatescereal mascotshair dilemmasdatingTitanic watch partyclassic televisionmikeychristianity

Mikey turned a long Christian discussion into an argument for presenting faith with humility rather than threatening nonbelievers, and caller Ryan said the conversation reached him at the perfect time. The exhausted crew then ricocheted through memorable debates: Skye and Eddie argued over Maximus versus Leonidas, everyone sized up a Cocoa Puffs bird against the Trix rabbit, and Ashley and Skye weighed shaved eyebrows against mullets. The 28-hour fundraiser reached $12,016 as the hosts pushed to beat the prior $14,000 record and prepared to watch Titanic despite a troublesome censoring DVD player. Lori returned from a successful date and told Mikey, Rebecca, and the crew that the conversation was genuine, the man avoided dating games, and they planned to meet again, while Sean's odd television tastes supplied another running joke.

What happened, in order

  1. The Rich Ruler Question

    Mikey and a caller wrestled with Jesus telling a rich man to obey the commandments, sell his possessions, and give to the poor rather than simply wait for the resurrection.

  2. Faith Without Finger-Wagging

    Mikey said his love for nonbelievers makes him reject Christians who shout about hell, arguing that faith should be presented gently, humbly, and without judgment.

  3. Ryan's Call From the Truck

    Ryan, who had recently accepted Christianity, called from his parked truck to tell Mikey that the unusually personal religious discussion arrived at exactly the right moment in his life.

  4. Celebrity Confusion Tugboat

    Rob, Skye, and Eddie compared embarrassing celebrity mix-ups until Eddie's claim of pop-culture perfection dissolved into an improvised 'perfect tugboat' routine.

  5. Fundraiser Passes $12,000

    The crew corrected its running total to $12,016 and urged listeners to help the 28-hour show beat the previous year's $14,000 fundraising record.

  6. Maximus Versus Leonidas

    The group debated whether Maximus from Gladiator or Leonidas from 300 had the bigger heart, with Skye favoring Maximus's love of family and Eddie defending Leonidas's sacrifice for Sparta.

  7. Cereal Mascot Showdown

    A mock fight between the Cocoa Puffs cuckoo bird and the Trix rabbit became a serious argument over whether craziness, size, or rabbit appetite would decide the winner.

  8. Eyebrows or Mullet

    Ashley, Skye, and the others chose between shaving off their eyebrows and wearing a full mullet, splitting over whether a conspicuous haircut was worse than a bare face.

  9. Lori's Great Date

    Lori reported that her date felt unusually easy and genuine, and later said the man immediately called so they would have each other's numbers and could arrange another meeting.

  10. Titanic Censor Trouble

    Before the group movie, the crew discovered its filtering DVD player might remove entire Titanic scenes, so Mikey proposed running the movie normally while joking that he could cover profanity with farts.

  11. Inside Sean TV

    The hosts described Sean as simultaneously insensitive and sensitive, then explained that his Sean TV bit mined obscure old programs such as Banacek alongside Star Trek and Columbo.
