The broadcast began with a serious discussion of Hurricane Ike's projected Category 4 landfall and mandatory evacuation orders, including a governor's stark quote about lining up buses to avoid body bags. Political debate ignited over Obama's 'lipstick on a pig' remark about John McCain, which the McCain campaign insisted was a reference to Sarah Palin's barracuda/hockey mom line, demanding an apology. Eddie shared stories about his new HP laptop that replaced one taking 15 minutes to load each morning, while the team recalled old beepers where only one person had the number and the device was the size of a garage door opener. Skye's Mexican fountain installation and her husband's gopher disposal—resulting in a grave found in the trash—prompted Rob to debut his new tribute song 'Gopher in the Wind,' and the 7th anniversary of 9/11 brought Bryant Gumbel memories and North Park concrete slab speculation.
