The show centered on promoting the upcoming 28‑hour Mikey‑thon to raise money for Rady Children's Hospital's Autism Discovery Institute, with Mikey sharing his personal connection to autism through his son Jake. Throughout the broadcast the hosts detailed auction items such as a signed POD guitar, Brixton clothing, a game‑used bat, and a Leif Brandt photo, while also announcing a $1 million fundraising goal. A major theme was the hostile reaction to rival station 91X’s plan to counter‑program the Mikey‑thon, prompting Mikey’s on‑air rant and calls for a boycott. Light‑hearted segments included a Skype test with CW6, Jay’s prank on phone screener Chris, and games like Grabwood’s Junk and the baseball‑in‑the‑pants guessing game.
