Mikey and Woodsy celebrated the Red Sox's elimination as a Yankee fan triumph, likening it to winning a World Series while referencing Sweet Caroline. Mikey announced the 28‑hour Mikey‑thon 2011 to raise $25,000 for Rady Children's Hospital, describing auction items and promising to shave or endure a fryer cut if the goal is exceeded. He corrected a mistaken cantaloupe listeria warning, advised discarding unknown‑origin melons, and noted the heightened risk to Jay. The show also featured Elton John’s Million Dollar Piano debut, Anderson Cooper’s first spinach and coffee tasting, a Real or Fake game with L.O.B.’s childhood stories, a discussion of an eighteen‑foot shark photo off La Jolla, and a debate over whether preferring a white child in adoption amounts to bias.
