Mikey, Woodsy, LLB, Rebecca and the rest of the crew spent the overnight stretch of the Mikey Thon riffing on Kevin Costner's Waterworld and arguing that its plot, economy and action scenes made no sense. The movie's Mariner eventually rescued Enola and reached dry land, while the hosts celebrated simply reaching the credits. The charity total climbed to $10,094 as the sleep-deprived crew hit the 21-hour mark and debated which movie would have been less punishing. Chad called to say their jokes gave him relief while he cared for his dying dog, and another listener called after saying goodbye to a nephew deploying the next day.

What happened, in order

  1. Sleep-Deprived Dares

    The exhausted hosts joke about needing $50,000 for an hour of sleep, getting kicked in the groin, and Danny trying not to fall asleep.

  2. The Villain Interrogates Enola

    While the Deacon demands help reading Enola's tattoo-map to dry land, the hosts mock his wildly excessive threat to eat the Mariner's brain.

  3. The Mariner Goes Back

    As the survivors refuse to rescue Enola, the Mariner says he no longer cares about finding dry land and will bring her back if she is alive.

  4. Dirt Is Scarcer Than Whiskey

    The hosts argue that Waterworld's economy makes no sense because dirt is priceless while cigarettes, whiskey, electronics, and explosives remain plentiful.

  5. $10,094 Raised

    The Mikey Thon total reaches $10,094, and the hosts credit the awful movie while encouraging listeners to bid for them to turn it off.

  6. Dry Land at Last

    The Waterworld characters finally reach a lush island, which the hosts identify as looking like Kauai while continuing to ridicule the film's logic.

  7. The 3 A.M. Wall

    Twenty-one hours into the marathon, Mikey and the crew describe feeling terrible, cold, and exhausted, while Rebecca sleeps curled into a tiny ball.

  8. Chad's Long Night

    Chad from Bay Park calls while caring for his dying 14-year-old dog and thanks the show for giving him some levity.

  9. A Nephew Deploys

    Another caller phones on the drive home to Fallbrook after spending the evening with a nephew who is being deployed the next day.
