Mikey opened the show by promoting FM listening, giving away a $100 Ali Action Sports Warehouse gift certificate and lunch for two, then previewed the Chargers‑Seahawks preseason game with Woodsy’s analysis of starters and undrafted rookies. The crew segued into a bizarre Aruba caller story about a girlfriend’s gay friend, then shifted to politics as they played Mitt Romney’s state‑fair heckling and debated Social Security tax caps, followed by a somber remembrance of Janie Lane’s death and Lauren O’Brien’s reveal of her Bazooka Joe comic collection. Later, Jay stunned everyone by walking on a cornstarch‑water mixture, while earlier he shocked the team with a story about hollowing out a baked potato and eating the skin, and the show closed with a detailed look at the Mr. Magoo Bandit bank robber and Mikey’s personal testimony of childhood abuse, addiction and redemption.
