The show celebrated its 28-hour fundraiser topping $20,000 for Rady Children's Hospital and spun a local poaching arrest into the unforgettable image of six lobsters hidden in a man's pants. Sean Merriman analyzed the Chargers' physical win over the Patriots, argued that mental toughness reveals itself in adversity, and wrestled with whether Adam 'Pacman' Jones had used up his NFL chances. Political and media clips drove sharp debate: Diddy condemned John McCain's 'that one' remark, McCain defended Barack Obama from fearful supporters, and Magic Johnson answered radio hosts who falsely said he had faked HIV. The lighter bits included Josh Lewin losing the Dumb Chick Challenge to Sky, Mikey ranking Iron Man above The Dark Knight, Dr Pepper wagering free soda on Chinese Democracy, and Boston Rob being cross-examined over a dubious tailgate tattoo.

What happened, in order

  1. The 28-Hour Show Tally

    The hosts reported raising more than $20,000 for Rady Children's Hospital, including roughly $6,000 during the final hours of their marathon broadcast.

  2. Six Lobsters in His Pants

    A repeat poacher was caught after wrapping six lobsters in newspaper and stuffing them down his pants near the La Jolla marine reserve.

  3. Diddy on 'That One'

    Diddy interpreted John McCain's debate reference to Barack Obama as 'that one' as racially charged, while the hosts mocked his heated video response.

  4. Merriman on Playing Physical

    Sean Merriman said the Chargers beat the Patriots by playing physically from the opening snap and argued that mindset under adversity separates elite players from equally gifted athletes.

  5. Pacman and the Point of No Return

    Sean Merriman defended Adam 'Pacman' Jones as a good person but conceded to Sky that repeated misconduct could soon exhaust his chances in the NFL and that no mentor can make his decisions for him.

  6. Independent George Band Drama

    Josh Lewin revealed that Independent George was playing gigs without him because the band could not agree on its mix of harder-edged songs and standards such as 'Mustang Sally.'

  7. Iron Man Beats The Dark Knight

    Mikey called Iron Man the best comic-book movie ever and ranked it above The Dark Knight, praising Robert Downey Jr., Jon Favreau's humor, the effects and the restrained Pepper Potts romance.

  8. Magic Johnson Answers Fake-HIV Claim

    Magic Johnson rebuked Minneapolis radio hosts who claimed he faked his diagnosis, stressing that he has HIV rather than AIDS and that their misinformation damaged public-health work.

  9. McCain Defends Obama

    John McCain corrected a supporter who called Barack Obama an Arab and told another fearful voter that Obama was a decent person who need not be feared as president.

  10. Josh Lewin Takes the Dumb Chick Challenge

    Chargers announcer Josh Lewin joined Sky and Ashley for the Dumb Chick Challenge, but Sky won after identifying breakdancing and serotonin while Ashley guessed Mark Twain and Noah for the prophet swallowed by a whale.

  11. Free Dr Pepper for Chinese Democracy

    Dr Pepper promised every American a free soda if Guns N' Roses released Chinese Democracy by the end of 2008, prompting debate over whether Axl Rose would finally finish the long-delayed album.

  12. Boston Rob's Patriots Tattoo

    The crew interrogated Boston Rob about the temporary Patriots tattoo on his neck until his shifting story revealed that a woman at a tailgate had supplied both the tattoo and a shared wet napkin.
