The Mikey Show team announced that the Mikey-thon would keep them live on the air for 28 straight hours to support a cause. They argued that the physical, emotional, and mental strain was worthwhile despite making them nervous. The hosts expected sleep deprivation to produce tears, unusual physical sensations, and personal revelations they would not ordinarily share. One host was especially worried about becoming so loopy that they might curse while listeners watched the marathon in person.

KBCT San Diego, Lincoln Financial Media Station, the new home of the Mikey Show. This is FM 94.9. The Mikey-thon is always physically, emotionally, and, uh, you know, mentally draining, but it's worth it for the cause. 28 hours straight on the air. Have you ever stayed awake for 28 straight hours? Oh, I have. Yeah, I think not without some substances. It's very taxing, and it's, uh... It's a lot of fun. I can't wait. It makes me nervous. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. I'm excited. And we're doing stuff we wouldn't normally do. We'll each find out stuff about each other that we would have never regularly told each other. Oh, yeah. A bunch of different physical feelings as you go through 28. Crying always happens in the final four hours. Anyone that comes out can see us. You know what I'm tripping out about the most? That I'm going to be so loopy that I curse. It makes me nervous. I'm nervous. I cannot wait. It's going to be so fun. I bet you're going to cry. I'm excited. I'm nervous. I'm nervous. It's a very, very special time. 28 hours straight on the air. The Mikey-thon is always physically, emotionally, and, you know, mentally draining. But it's worth it for the cause.
