The hosts repeatedly teased Sean with 1980s songs, insisting the music was meant to cheer him up even as he signed off and refused to return. Eddie turned the joke into a proposal for a Second Chance Prom where adults could redo bad high-school experiences, Sean could DJ and the former nerds could finally make the rules. The group built an elaborate revenge fantasy around old crushes, legal alcohol, successful careers and voting Sean and Ashley prom royalty. Eddie and Shauna then slow-danced to Berlin, while listener P1 McPeck argued that the hosts were simply being mean to Sean. The hosts rejected that criticism and kept trying to lure Sean back with more music and an interpretive-dance offer.
What happened, in order
Cheering Sean with the 80s
The hosts insist they are cheering Sean up by teasing him with 1980s music, while Sean admits that he probably enjoys hearing it.
The Second Chance Prom
Eddie proposes a Second Chance Prom for adults who missed prom or hated their first one, with Sean serving as the DJ.
Adult Prom Revenge Fantasy
The hosts imagine returning to prom as successful adults with legal drinks, attractive dates and Prada bags while denying old crush Jake a second chance.
Prom King Sean
After Sean signs off, the group tries to lure him back by promising to vote for him as prom king and make him an Uncle Nana sash.
Sean Refuses to Return
Ashley is nominated alongside Uncle Nana, but Sean stays offline while the hosts keep calling for him over dramatic 1980s music.
Slow Dance and Listener Rebuke
Eddie and Shauna slow-dance to Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away' before listener P1 McPeck calls to accuse the hosts of being mean to Sean.
The Nerds Take Over Prom
The hosts cast Second Chance Prom as revenge for former nerds, then abandon normality and offer Sean a Napoleon Dynamite-style interpretive dance.
Bette Midler Fumes
The bit closes with a complaint about mocking Bette Midler and the hosts comparing their giddy state to the 28-hour show.

Yeah, every time the audience brings this up, it's always like we're the ones to blame. No, you're the ones who brought it up. The audience did not bring it up. You guys brought it up. No one is to blame. Stop picking on Sean. I'm not picking on him. I'm trying to... I'm actually trying to cheer him up. Well, he wasn't upset. I'm trying to communicate with him through 80s music. He likes 80s music. You know what you're doing. Sean, no more cheers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. Sean, isn't there a part of you right now that kind of enjoys hearing this? Oh, probably. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's sweet. All right, I'm out of here. No, come on, Sean. Ashley wants to dance with you. Oh, the irony in this song.
Imagine that, Sean. Like, you get to sit by the pool, but you can't have a swim. I mean, it really was profound, the things that Howard Jones wrote. Absolutely. The irony in it. I mean, you almost think that Alanis Morissette ripped him off years later. I think we should do a second chance prom and have Sean be the DJ. I think that's a good idea, Eddie. What do you think? I think we do a second chance prom, and the idea behind it is for all you folks that didn't get to go to the prom the first time. Yeah, or had like a... bad experience at the prom. Yeah, because, you know, when you think about it, didn't we all have that one prom didn't go the way we wanted it to? I'm sorry, Sean. Like, we didn't get the boy that we wanted to ask me. Yeah. Like, oh my gosh, yeah. Like, remember, you had, like, a super big crush on that one. Oh my gosh, Jake Ryan. Yeah, yeah. Jake Ryan. Yeah, seriously. You're such an ass. Remember, you, like, totally like Jake Ryan, but, like, there's no way it's going to go out there. You can see what's going on in my ring wall. Well, yeah. You know, Claire. Yeah. And, like, you knew that was never going to happen. That's why we're throwing the big Star 100.7 Second Chance Prom. All right. Second Chance Prom. That's right. Now, here's what you do. You guys are idiots. Now that we're not in high school anymore and we're the popular kids. Yeah. Now we can take that awesome person that we're with and we'll have fun our way.
I wonder if somebody's going to spike a punch. Oh, I bet somebody is. Well, we're over 21, so we can drink one. Yeah, good point. Yeah, good point. That's the thing. That's the thing. I mean, if we are pointing out the obvious, the deal is, it's the second chance prom. We're adults now, so. Why don't you play a prom song? Okay. That's a good idea. I hope you guys have neglected Sean, but he's actually signed off. I mean, he's not even. That's okay. He'll be back. Okay. Well, all right. Are you kidding me? This music is like bait for him. That's right. He'll be right back. That's right. And if he hears about Second Chance Prom, are you kidding me? He'll read his text today. I mean, you imagine that son of a bitch. The punch all spiked up with something that we bring, like a little rum. You're crazy. And you walk in there, and now you're all grown up, and you're with somebody special, and they're hunky, and you're hunky. And you're wearing those cool new... Hope you're listening, Jake. That's right. You got that cool new Prada bag, because you can afford it. Jake can't. And this comes on. Oh, my God. The second chance prize. Yeah. It's our second chance, but you don't get the second chance, Jake. Maggie.
If you think that the golf tickets went crazy, what about Second Chance Prom tickets? Oh my gosh, when those suckers go on sale, we're going to have to put up a barricade. Oh my gosh. The barricade's going to be a big old weenie, and people aren't going to be able to clap it. Unless we date, though. Because at Second Chance Prom, we're the cool kids. We make rules. What is happening? Yeah, we're the cool kids now. Screw you, Peter. That's right. Okay. Please. So true. Come on, Sean. Come back to us. Yeah, Sean. Sign back on that poopy thing. Spotlights on you. Yeah. Come on, Sean. We promise. You sign back on. It's not going to be one, two, three, all eyes on me. It's going to be all about you. If you come back, I'll vote for you for King of Prom. That's right. I'm sorry, Sean. We'll make you a big stash that says Uncle Nana. King and Queen of Prom is...
Uncle Nana and Ashley! Come on, Sean. Sign back on, damn it. Come on. Come to the Second Chance Prom. Cut it out. Please come to the Second Chance Prom. I need you, Shani. So upset. I miss him. Give him a song maybe he wants to dance to. Come on, Sean. I want you to think of that serious part of the movie with Madonna and Sean Penn. Back then, remember, your mom probably wouldn't let you watch it. You had to sneak in on VHS. Remember that? Your hair was all back like duckies. I mean, we were doing a show. Everything was going fine. P1 Chopper. Hello, Chopper? Are you there? Chopper, come on. Talk to me. You son of a bitch. Sean is signed off and is not coming back on. Shawnee-o! God dang it. Sean, you know these guys are asshats. Come on. Maybe it's just the...
We're not playing the right slow music for him. Maybe it's because you guys have been mocking him for the last half hour. Mocking? We're throwing a prom for him. Should we do another slow dance? I'd like to. Yes, please. I'm in here, Shauna. That's a good one. Come on, Shauna. We're talking about the Rock 105 theme. Mikey said second chance prom. We're going to throw the second chance prom. Eddie. and Shauna are doing their slow dance. Oh, that's very sweet. Look how cute they are. Oh, I could cry right now. Oh, they're beautiful. To Berlin. Take my breath away. Notice that now Eddie's hand goes all the way around her because she's lost 745 pounds. Serious. She just spanked his butt. Very, very touching. Mikey show. Yeah. Hey, you guys know. Oh, boy. Mikey show. Hello. Hey, yeah, this is P1 McPeck. I just wanted to call and say that you guys are so mean to Sean. What? What are you talking about? We're playing 80s music for Sean. Hey, man, 80s music is cool. I like it, too. And I was born in 82, but still. Us, too. I don't know what we've done wrong. Hey, listen. We weren't born in 80s. No. We want to throw a second chance prom for Sean. Yeah. So why are you getting so mad at us?
Yeah, exactly. I know who you are, popular girl. Okay. Yeah, so we didn't get to hang out at food court at the gallery with you. Whatever. Yeah, whatever is exactly right. Because you know why? Because you don't rule a prom this year. We do. It's our second chance prom. Do you have to do that thing with your arms? You guys like music too. That's why we're playing it. I'm going to try a different one. It's the second chance prompt. No, you don't have to do any sort of arm movement stance when you say it. No, you have to cross your arms and stomp your foot. No, no. You say it's the second chance prompt. We'll show you popular kids. You're so mean though. We may have been here back then, but we're not now. That's right. We have jobs at high paying tech firms. Yes. All right, whatever. You guys are great, though. I love you. All right, we may still be really dorky and nerdy, but we had second chance prom. Yeah. All right. Can we just be normal again so Sean will come back? No, no, let's keep doing this. Come on, Sean. You son of a bitch. Is he not on I Am anymore, either? Get him some of the Euro stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sean might enjoy dancing to this. Come on, Sean. I'll let you do interpretive dance to this, like Napoleon Dynamite. Yes, please. I'll say hello.
I don't appreciate you guys mocking Bette Midler. Doing the interpretive dance. I'm breathing fumes. Dude, I think we're hot. It's like the 28-hour show all over again.
