Quimby, Peaches and Spaceboy sabotaged Danny's revived Strings Game with joke answers until he quit, after which the cast tried apologies and a friendship song to bring him back. Quimby then played both herself and Rosa in a dark improvised family argument, and the group followed a wrong number with its ridiculous Proposition Ham voicemail. In a Mikey Show clip, a debt-relief telemarketer patiently endured the invented saga of Barbara Broke, Phil and twelve garden weasels. Spaceboy recounted getting Chris Cornell to sign his left-handed guitar, while the cast separately clashed over Proposition 8, donor lists, religion and civil-rights comparisons before replaying the Skye Ramsey musical.

What happened, in order

  1. Election-night write-ins

    The group greeted Barack Obama's election with optimism, then undercut the solemnity by claiming write-in votes for J.K. Rowling and Estelle Getty and mocking the McCain-Palin ticket.

  2. Boy Blunder returns

    Boy Blunder joined P1Site.com to promote his free stand-up shows, prompting memories of his unwashed skin suit and a performance that fooled Quimby into thinking he was naked.

  3. Strings game mutiny

    Danny revived his song-identification Strings Game, but Quimby, Peaches and Spaceboy answered with increasingly absurd guesses until he abandoned the game and withdrew from the show.

  4. Tía Quimby versus Rosa

    Quimby improvised a confrontation with her delinquent niece Rosa over razor blades, Monster energy drinks, absent parenting and Rosa's wildly inappropriate claims about her teenage life.

  5. Prop Ham voicemail

    After first dialing a stranger by mistake, the cast reached the Mikey Show answering machine and delivered a coordinated plea for everyone to vote for the fictional Proposition Ham.

  6. Barbara Broke's debt

    A Mikey Show clip turned a live credit-card solicitation into a prank in which 'Barbara Broke' blamed an imaginary ex-husband Phil and his garage full of garden weasels for millions in debt.

  7. Chris Cornell's autograph

    Spaceboy described waiting through Chris Cornell's interview, getting ten seconds with him through his manager and having Cornell sign a left-handed guitar in silver.

  8. The Prop 8 argument

    The cast praised Skye's debating skills, then argued over Proposition 8, campaign-donor exposure, religion, minority voting patterns and whether same-sex-marriage restrictions belonged in civil-rights comparisons.

  9. Wedding-friendship scare

    Peaches and Quimby aired a real-sounding friendship grievance over unanswered instant messages and wedding duties before the others told them to resolve it off the air.

  10. Skye Ramsey musical

    The show replayed its Skye Ramsey musical, a chaotic rehearsal parody in which Ramsey kept mangling the singular lyric 'me' while an exasperated director restarted the song.
