The Mikey Show Recap 4-11-07

Today on the Mikey Show…

We brought back Tyrone and Tortilla today. Tyrone and Tortilla are two characters who interview “less than meaningful” people whose common goal is to simply get on the radio. Today’s interviewee was a guy who wanted to discuss how Tiger Woods lost the Masters Tournament. In classic T&T fashion, Tyrone and Tortilla eventually led this guy to believe that he was a racist.

We played P-1 Love Connection today. P-1 Francesca came into the studio and chose between three guys on the phone, P-1 Mike, P-1 James, and P-1 Erik. We got a little sidetracked, since all three of the guys on the phone weren’t really giving to much information to answer Francesca’s questions. In the end, however, P-1 Mike won Francesca’s heart. They will be going on a date to Poway Sushi Lounge tonight, and we will be checking up on them tomorrow morning.

We followed up on the Imus issue that has been in the news recently, commenting on the vast amount of media coverage this story has received within the last 24 hours. Mikey commented on it, stating that the media (Al Sharpton, in particular) is scapegoating Imus in relief for the larger picture. Mikey also stated that if one doesn’t want to hear a racially distorted figure, such as Imus, they don’t have to. It’s ultimately our choice to support these media characters, but for the station to fire him over such a backwards statement as “nappy-headed hoes” is going to far.

The Chargers’ 2007 schedule was released today. Eddie commented that the team has a difficult schedule ahead of them for the 2007 season, considering the amount of early 10a.m. games, as well as east coast flights they have ahead of them. Many of the teams playing have also gotten better since last season, which should be challenging for the Chargers but definitely manageable.

Tomorrow on the Mikey Show…

From Goodfellas, actor, Ray Liotta will be calling in!
