Mikey Show Recap Tuesday Oct. 16, 2007

Today on The Mikey Show…

~ We spoke with Matt Cox of the Austin Fire Department. There was a huge news story about 3 UT students that went spelunking in this cave in Texas and got trapped. Matt was the public information officer for this story and talked to us about the rescue and the cave. He explained that the cave takes up to 6 hours to get through and most of it you have to be on your hands and knees to get through and sometimes even on your stomach. He said for the rescue it took them about 6 hours to find them and then another 3 to get them out.

~ We had another segment of Cell Phone Mishaps today. We heard some great stories today, mostly pretty tragic ones about the discovery of a loved one cheating or talking trash on a friend. We had this one girl call in and tell us about her cell phone that when people call her she can hear them talking while its ringing. She is coming up to the studio tomorrow to show us the phone.

~ Mikey told us about an executive decision he had to make with his family. He told us that there is a pumpkin patch that he brings his family too because his wife grew up going to it but from now on they will not go anymore. He said its too dusty and the lines are too long to make the experience good. We got Rebecca on the line and they decided together that when Jake is older they will bring him there but he is too young to know where they go now. That lead us into a conversation about this new form of discipline called "self calming". Mikey explained that its kind of like a time out but you put the child in a room until they are ready to come out and behave, they calm themselves down. We took calls from P-1's on there thoughts and heard from some that had tried it. 

~ We played Wuss Rock Juke Box today. Today was a sorry batch of guys, they tried and gave it a good attempt but with songs from Hall and Oates, you have to be on point to get the judges approval. We also heard "What's Love Got To Do With It" and "What a Feeling".

Tomorrow on The Mikey Show… Joe Rogan will be on to break down this weekends UFC fight.
