Sky unpacked the failed Wall Street bailout meeting, Joe Biden's family tragedy, and the campaign arguments surrounding Barack Obama's speaking stumble and Katie Couric's passport question for Sarah Palin. Caller P1 William accidentally drove into Mexico, while Poway student Ashley and her mother challenged a teacher over a Hooters shirt and caller Erin defended her extreme discomfort with public affection. The crew built running comedy from Mikey volunteering to be Ryan Seacrest, Ashley bringing the flu into the studio, a hypothetical NSYNC-versus-New Kids brawl, and Luke Perry's visible frustration with 90210 questions. Mikey closed on a serious note by connecting his childhood insecurity and addictions to the Christian faith he credits with restoring his life.

What happened, in order

  1. Bailout Shouting Match

    Sky explained how a tentative $700 billion Wall Street rescue deal collapsed at the White House, then the cast turned it into a President Bush bit about printing trillions and mentally checking out of office.

  2. Wrong Turn to Mexico

    Caller P1 William said he missed the San Diego freeway split while phoning his wife and accidentally drove across the border into Mexico instead of reaching work.

  3. Hooters at Poway High

    The hosts debated a Hooters ad in the Poway High newspaper, then student Ashley and her mother described how a teacher sent her home for wearing a modest Hooters shirt and how they challenged the decision.

  4. PDA Panic

    Caller Erin said even hand-holding in public disturbed her, prompting Mikey, Sky, Eddie, Ashley, and Boston Rob to test her boundaries with increasingly specific dating scenarios.

  5. Obama Off Script

    The cast played Barack Obama stumbling over health-care remarks and argued that the press excused a revealing teleprompter failure that would have hurt John McCain or Sarah Palin.

  6. Palin Passport Fight

    Katie Couric's question about Sarah Palin obtaining a passport only the year before split the room over whether foreign travel is relevant preparation for the vice presidency or an unfair proxy for knowledge.

  7. Biden's Family Tragedy

    Sky recounted how Joe Biden became emotional while remembering the crash that killed his wife and daughter, injured his sons, and nearly caused him to leave politics.

  8. Mikey Show Idol

    Mikey proposed an outdoor singing contest for the 28-hour show, volunteered to host as Ryan Seacrest, and immediately watched the crew turn his recorded words into a recurring joke.

  9. Flu in the Studio

    Ashley admitted she had been sick all week, and the cast erupted over her exposing everyone shortly before the physically demanding 28-hour broadcast.

  10. Boy-Band Brawl

    The room argued whether NSYNC or New Kids on the Block would win a fistfight, with Donnie Wahlberg's toughness set against Joey Fatone and Justin Timberlake.

  11. Luke Perry's 90210 Shadow

    The hosts analyzed Luke Perry's crossed arms and clipped answers about the 90210 reboot, then debated whether typecasting or limited range kept him from a larger movie career.

  12. Mikey's Recovery Story

    Mikey described childhood insecurity, addiction to alcohol and cocaine, and his belief that accepting Jesus Christ gave him hope and began rebuilding his life.
