The show opened with Mikey noting Obama's first full day as president and revealing that Clear Channel had laid off about 50 employees in their building, including longtime cast members Sean and Zeth. Mikey expressed personal grief over losing Sean, describing him as a kindred spirit and praising his sensitive side and laugh. Listeners shared memorable Sean moments, such as his over‑modulated voice that made a fan cry, his habit of building a brick‑lined fire at home for safety, and his ritual of salting his milk. An email indicated Sean would FedEx the show's sound effects from the Bay Area so they could return soon, and the crew floated the idea of a Second Chance Prom to honor Sean with 80s music and a crown. In a lighter vein, Mikey recounted how Usher snatched a Snickers candy bar that President Obama had been offered during campaigning.
