Mikey Show Recap 4-17-07

Mikey started off the show with the Virginia Tech University shooting incident from the day before.  We played multiple clips from different news casts from yesterday and today.  There were multiple topics discussed amongst the cast and with P1’s such as gun control, and if there had been a bomb threat warning just a few days before.  We also broke the news of the gunman’s identity, as well as the St. Edward's University bomb scare in Texas.  As the show continued Sky continued to give updates on the situation, and took phone calls on the tragedy.

The Mikey show announced they had selected this years apprentice contestants.  Mikey and Eddie did a preliminary screening for all the contestants yesterday after the show and they eventually narrowed it down to 6 people.  In previous apprentice shows there have been an even number of women to men in the competition.   This year is different as the show brings in five women and a single guy.  We eventually brought them to the studio and replayed audio from their screening the day before.  Krista, Holly, Lori, Jessica, Vanessa and Zeth have their first competition at this weeks P1 party at Dave and Busters.

The show has had numerous sporting competitions and today was no different as the show introduced a new competition between B-Rob and Eddie.  They will compete in a homerun derby this Friday at a near by baseball diamond.  The cast weighed in on who would win along with debating whether to use a soft ball or a hard ball.  P1’s called in with their opinion as well and it was unanimously voted that the competition will use a hard ball with a wooden bat. 

Towards the end of the show we talked to P1 Brian who had the comments from the week before about Don Imus.  Mikey had been emailing him back and forth all of last week.  They had been debating the topic of the comments made by Imus, and Brian wanted to argue that his comments were not racist and was not just intended for the African American players on the Rutgers team, but all the players.  After a long on air battle Mikey was able to convince Brian that those comments were racist.

Tomorrow on the show P1 love connection.
