Mikey Show Recap Tuesday Oct. 30, 2007

Today on The Mikey Show...
~ We announced a Fire Relief Fund Raiser that all of the Clear Channel stations will be participating in this Friday down at Qualcomm. The Mikey Show will be broadcasting live for the entire show at the Q while excepting donations from listeners. The broadcast will continue all day until 7 pm.

~ We received a call today from this P-1 lady who was pretty upset over what the fire victims were being labeled compared to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. She was wondering why the people in San Diego were being called evacuees and the people in New Orleans were called refugees, she believed it was because the people in San Diego were rich and white and the people in New Orleans were black and poor. Mikey had to look up the definition of both words and then explain exactly to her why they were called different things.

~ Mikey talked about his friend Joe Brucato coming in the studio on Monday. He is a singer song writer that sounds a lot like Bob Sieger and is coming into the studio on Monday to sing a song that will be used into eh new Angelina Jolie movie. The song is a duet but he will not have the chick that sang it with him in the original song. He suggested to Mikey that we try to get a P-1 lady who can sing to come in with him. Friday we will have P-1 ladies call in and sing for us on the air and the best one will come in on Monday and do the duet with Joe.

~ Miles McPhearson and Fire Fighter Battalion Chief Jimmy Fiero came into the studio today. Jimmy explained what he is in charge of day to day and talked us through his experience of the wild fires. He told us that he was tracking the fires and knew he was going to be in for a long few days because of the conditions around the county. He explained that the recent drought had made San Diego the driest it had been in 90 years. He said the temperatures in the mouth of the fire were up around 500 to 600 degrees. He told us that the first 48 hours you get no sleep. He explained what they wear to fight the fires and described what the Santa Ana winds are. Miles told us about turning The Rock church into an evacuee shelter and how they only had 8 people evacuated there surrounded by 800 volunteers, so they turned into a distribution center to send out supplies to other places needing it. They got officially silenced to medically treat people and eventually got over 300 evacuees there.

~ Dr. Phil made an appearance on the show today. This P-1 guy wrote in explaining that his wife wanted him to build them a haunted house for Halloween. Dr. Phil came on the show to give this guy some advice saying that if he makes the haunted house and "accidentally cuts someone's arm off with a chainsaw" in the haunted house he will never have to make another haunted house again.

Tomorrow on The Mikey Show… The Debut of a new segment called Sean TV.
