gender and color stereotypesSuper Bowl invitationsmurder for hire plotbad songs by good bandsiPod sing alongSan Diego musicsongwriting and heartbreakcruise ship captainmikey showpurplesuper bowlevite
Mikey argued that purple was not really a boy's color after Jake chose it, but the crew and a caller countered with Prince, pink fashion, Justin Bieber, and a defense of Jake's purple Vans. Lauren O'Brien split her jeans, discussed a planned Pussycat Dolls performance, and later fought with Mikey because he omitted her from a Super Bowl Evite even though she had repeatedly rejected such parties; callers largely said she should still have been invited. The hosts reported that June Picard and her son Francis Noble were caught in an alleged murder-for-insurance plot after an acquaintance warned police and undercover officers recorded the scheme. The crew roasted bad songs by beloved artists before Jay delivered a disastrous headphone-on iPod sing-along. John Cooper of the Howls and John Foreman of Switchfoot described meeting as competitive surfers and becoming musical friends, Cooper performed Atlantic and explained the heartbreak behind Rocky Ground, and the hosts later ridiculed a cruise captain's claim that he fell into a lifeboat by accident.
What happened, in order
The Purple Debate
After Jake named purple as his favorite color, Mikey called it an unlikely color for boys while the crew countered with Prince, pink fashion, and Jake's purple Vans.
Split Jeans and Pussycat Plans
Lauren O'Brien revealed that her jeans had split under one butt cheek, which became a launchpad for jokes and details of her planned Pussycat Dolls routine at the House of Blues.
The Missing Super Bowl Evite
Lauren confronted Mikey for excluding her from his Super Bowl invitation even though she had repeatedly said she disliked such parties, and callers mostly argued that she still deserved the choice.
The El Cajon Murder Plot
The hosts recounted how an acquaintance alerted police before June Picard and her son Francis Noble allegedly paid an undercover officer to murder Noble's wife for life-insurance money.
Good Bands, Bad Songs
The crew gleefully attacked songs they considered embarrassments by otherwise great acts, including Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, Tom Petty's Don't Come Around Here No More, Aerosmith's Love in an Elevator, and Elton John's Croc
Jay's iPod Sing-Along
Wearing headphones that kept him from hearing himself, Jay loudly and earnestly mangled three songs while the studio collapsed in laughter.
How the Two Johns Met
John Cooper of the Howls and John Foreman of Switchfoot explained that their friendship began with competitive wave-snaking before Cooper revealed that he already worked on Switchfoot's web store.
Atlantic Live in Studio
After a brief microphone scramble, John Cooper performed the Howls song Atlantic live and won an enthusiastic reaction from Mikey and the crew.
Songs from Rocky Ground
John Cooper said Rocky Ground processed the painful collapse of a long relationship with his best friend, while emphasizing honesty without unfairly exposing the other person.
The Captain Who Tripped
The crew mocked the cruise-ship captain's claim that he accidentally tripped into a departing lifeboat and could not return to the ship.

You must have had to go to the... Maybe he needs a little rocket fuel. Oh, he's getting this. Welcome, everybody. It's our Friday because tomorrow I have some family stuff that I have to take care of in my immediate family and kind of bummer stuff, but I got to take care of it. And so tomorrow we will not be in. It'll be the best of the Mikey show. But welcome to the program. And let's get this sucker going. 570-1949 is our number if you want to call. And we would love to talk to you. And you can also text us. Our text is 949mikey at gmail.com. And you can call it anything you want. At this break and at the opening break at 6 o'clock, we'll let you call in about anything that you'd like to.
Don't forget when you call in, turn your radio down, get to the point and don't cuss. That's the rules. That's what makes you an M1. An M1 is always making new M1s. That's also part of the job description of an M1. So all kinds of stuff going on with Bill Cosby. Apparently he was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and said this. See, the one thing I fought really is to try not to become... Because after 50 years, I think after about maybe 30, I said to myself, please don't become a caricature of yourself. Yeah, of course. And then, of course, people have done imitations. But I don't like what I hear because it sounds like a person who's constipated. Everyone does Bill Cosby, right? Yep. Yeah. It's kind of the bit. Everyone tries. Everyone tries to do Bill Cosby. Well, anyone that's seen Eddie Murphy Raw does Bill Cosby. Yes. I would like to talk to you. Vote some of the things that you say in your show.
That's good. Everybody can do it. I like it. That's it. That's all I got. Why is it enjoyable? Because Eddie Murphy's a freaking genius in that movie. I know, but Eddie Murphy didn't just do it. My friend Woods did, and I liked it. Oh, that was enjoyable? Hell yeah. I don't think it's enjoyable when people get up on stage and stand up and do it. No. I always think, hey, where'd you get that from? No, I agree with L.O.B. I think it should be banned in little comedy houses. Yes. However, when my friend L.O.B. does it, it makes me laugh. Yeah, it's funny. When your friends do it, it's funny. I would like you. My child sits down to me and I say, child. Dad, I need tickets to go see the Eddie Murphy show. It's all the bits I have are from that. Bill Cosby himself. And I say, child. I say, child. Sit down. And then my wife. comes down the stairs with a face that looks like this. I wonder if that's available on like Blu-ray. Wrong? No, no, no. I'm thinking of Bill Cosby. Oh, as himself. Bill Cosby himself. I believe it is. Oh, himself. The actual thing called himself. It's called Bill Cosby himself. It's very famous. Yep.
Is it funny? I've never seen it. Oh, it's hilarious. It is actually really funny. And it's timeless. And it's very clean. It's sitting in a chair. Mm-hmm. It's sitting in a chair. It's just sitting in a chair? And it's him really at the top of his game. Mm-hmm. It's Cosby when he was as funny as any other comedian, but he was doing it. He was working clean. And, you know, it was like a whole thing. So it was good stuff. I could show it to my kid and I would laugh and they'd be laughing. That's cool. Seinfeld was funny and didn't have to be dirty. That's true. It's hard to do. It's hard to do. It's really hard to do. But if the person is funny, it could be done. That was my biggest obstacle when I went from being a shock jock, which every single thing, everything I did was dirty. Everything I did was dirty. I didn't do any clean stuff. None.
And I had to go from doing no clean stuff to only clean stuff because my constitution wouldn't handle anything else. And I remember thinking, well, how am I supposed to do that? And I thought, well, if you're funny, just be funny. Just say funny stuff. Do imitations. People will always like imitations. I've always done them. I just used to do dirty stuff with them. You know? And some of it's still transferred. I still, you know, I think I could still play something that was very famous from the Mikey show for years. A bit that I did called Sesame Street Outtakes. And it was things that happened on Sesame Street that got cut out. Right. And one of them, you know, it was bits that didn't work. Right. And one of them was the count on the toilet. And you would hear the plop of his poop. Oh, man. And then he would go, one, two, three splashes of bleep in the water. It's still timeless. It's timeless. That's true. And it worked. It did. I feel like Sesame Street is doing a little bit of age discrimination. They're trying to push the count out a little bit.
Are they? Some of the old timers. Well, he's 7,000 years old as he's a vampire. LLB's got a niece. So you see it. I see it. Abby Cadabby's the new bit. What's Abby Cadabby? Abby Cadabby is like one of Elmo's buddies. Yeah. And she's a girl. Yeah. And she's real like, I think it's for like the little princess inside all the little girls. She's pink. Some little boys. She's got like fairy wings. Yeah. And she's got a wand. And she goes, I like it already. Yeah, I like the old school. I'm with LLB. They are phasing out some of the, and Zoe. They shouldn't phase out. He's always a little yellow monster. I don't mind new stuff, but don't phase out. You need Bert, Ernie, Big Bird, the garbage guy. What's his name? Oscar. They play best of from those guys. Ernie's still OG. He's an OG. They play some 70s clips. I'm like, I've seen that. That's not new. You guys remember The Electric Company? Of course. Hey, you guys. Do you remember? This one, I don't think you'll remember. However, Jay might remember.
Do you guys remember a show called Zoom? Come on and Zoom, Zoom, Zoom-a-Zoom. You're gonna Zoom-a-Zoom-a-Zoom-a-Zoom. It was a kid show. Yeah, we're gonna show you how. Kids Incorporated. Yeah, Kids Incorporated. K-I-D-S, Kids Incorporated. I remember that. What did I just want to tell you? Something about, we were talking about Sesame Street. Oh, and for some reason it made me think of this. I wonder if people, some people will think that this is not good, but I don't care. You do with your kid what you do. I'll do with my kid what I do. Jake's favorite color is purple. So yesterday, Jake and I were talking about cars because daddy likes cars. And he said, what's your favorite color car? I said, I don't know. I said, I like white. I like black. I like silver. And he said, what do you not like?
I said, I don't like green, red, blue. Well, Jake's favorite color is purple. So he goes, do you like purple? And I said, purple's not really a guy color, bub. Now, again, again, you do with your kid what you do with your kid. I do with my kid what I do with my kid. And dad's opinion. Hey, how many times did your dad give an opinion when you were growing up? Bunch. Your dad gave an opinion. That's his job. Prince. Really liked the color purple. Great. And I'll tell him, you know, he don't know who Prince is, but I'd tell him that. He also liked the actual color purple, not just the movie, the color purple. Right. In fairness to me. In fairness to me, though, Prince wore, you know, white high heels. That's true. You know? Yeah, that is true. Go-go boots. Go-go boots. Yeah. So, you know. Oh, the ruffles. And a codpiece. And a codpiece. Which is always good. Which is what every father wants his son to strive.
To do and wear is a high white, high heels and a codpiece. Purple's back for guys. The LMFAO guys, they're rocking the purple. Oh my gosh. Oh, oh, oh. Very retro. I work out. Yeah, retro, right? For those of you that don't know, LMFAO, that is a musical group. Yeah, I'm sure they all do. That song is... You're a look at that body. I saw them on New Year's Rockin' Eve. You know, because they're a big hit right now. If you don't know this, I'm educating you. L-M-F-A-O is something the kids are into right now. Big hit. So I was watching it on New Year's Rockin' Eve, and I said, man, I'm getting old. I said, this is just silly to me. That's silly. Oh, it's like Right Said Fred. Yeah. Who's right side Fred? I'll punch you. Right side Fred. That's what I said. I'm too sexy for my love. Too sexy for my love. Like one hit wonders. No, they've had a bunch actually. Have they? This is just a big one for them. You guys aren't, you're not in touch with the younger generation. Thank God for that. Woods likes to. Oh God. I am. You think purple's a guy color L.O.B.? Yeah, it's retro. Yep. I say...
It's metro. As long as it's not pink. There's nothing wrong with pink. Pink is the new white. Back in the 50s, my dad said that if you wore a pink jacket and you were a dude, you were a badass. Really? Yeah, because it was like it proved that you were such a guy that you could do it. I have a pink dress shirt that is just awesome. You wear it with a navy blue suit with pinstripes? Sharp. Dude, I have no problem. with it sharp yeah i have no problem with it i just think uh maybe as a little boy you don't get to you don't get to pull the like i'm a badass because i wear pink no no as a man yeah but i think as a little boy you can probably pull off purple yeah for sure Yeah, he's got a rugby shirt that's purple. And he's got new vans that are purple, I saw. Yep, I saw those. Which is awesome. Is it? Yeah, it's awesome. Oh, yeah. You sure? Yeah. You would never tell me, you guys. Oh, we would tell you. No, you wouldn't. Yes, you guys would. Really. I think kids can do anything. They would. Okay, fair enough. But you guys would never say to me, hey, dude, that looks like girl shoes on him. If they had heels on them, I'd be like, those look like girl shoes. But purple vans are awesome. I wore pink chucks in sixth grade.
You did? So feast on that. All right. Wow. Yeah. It's a true statement. Maybe. I would wear one pink one, one turquoise one. So feast on that, too. Love to see it. Oh, my. Yeah, kid didn't care. I was snapping necks and cashing checks. Look at that kid. Do you have pictures? You know pictures? I'll get it. Yeah. How'd that happen? Did you do that? No. My hands are. How did that happen? That was really weird. I didn't do it. It was even locked. Were you able to do that, Nicole? Yeah, if she hits anything on the right-hand side of her keyboard, it'll come up on your... Oh, hit it again. That's... Oh, cool. I can do it, too. That's cool. I can do it, too. That's cool. Show off. Yeah, you guys quit showing off in there. Where was I? Purple shoes, pink shoes. Well, I want to move on. I want to tell you about Restaurant Week. What's going on right now? It's weird that I want to talk about Restaurant Week. Is it? Because you know what, Woods?
These are nice restaurants that you can get at a very reasonable price right now. Which I'm all the way in on. Yeah. These are, like, you could have a $30 menu or a $40 menu at a place like Donovan's, which normally would cost you easily three digits. Yeah. So it's pretty cool. When does it start? It's already going, dude. It's going now. It started the 15th. Mm-hmm. Runs through tomorrow. That's it? places will extend it as well. Yeah, but that's what I'm telling you. Go out this weekend. Go out tomorrow night. I'll be on the mountains of Big Bear. Real good. Not everyone can live the fast life, okay? Yeah. Easy, Hollywood. I'll be rooming with Jay, which will be an experience. Well, you'll be in the same home. Same home. Not like the same room. I'll be in his room a few times, I'm sure. Middle of the night. He's lurking over him. He is a gay man. That was really weird. It's very strange. Yo, Chris. Wow, Jay, I didn't know that about you. I am not gay. I never have been gay. I don't know about that. Maybe he wants to crave on my wife, who'll be with me, which is even more concerning. Ski party for you guys.
Yeah, it's the Mikey Show key party up at Big Bear this weekend. We didn't invite you guys. We'd love to see you. I was invited. In fact, I'm still allowed to let Adam know by the end of the day. There you go. Ride with the kid. Jam some Deftones on the way up there. Or you can ride with us and not have to jam the Deftones. Sounds like a plan. Who's going to be in your car, Woods? Me and my wife. That's it? Yeah. Woods blares music. Oh, I play that music in there. And then he gets upset with me because I don't talk to him. Yeah, because you're on your phone the whole time. Well, I'm on my phone because the music's so loud. That's not really it. We have been in your car before where you were on your phone the whole time, too. Yeah. That's a big deal for you. You're a big phone guy. It's okay. Car, phone, hand in hand. Fair enough. Much like some people with cigarettes. Yeah. You have to unlock your phone once you get in the car. Hurts more when you're right. It does. And you are right. It's true. I am a little tethered to that thing, aren't I? Yes. I mean, it's time to cut the cord. Minus the little.
All right, so I'm tethered to it. 570-1949. People are calling in. We do have listeners at 530 a.m., that is for sure. And so if you want to talk to us, call us up right now. Be the one to call her. Yeah, be the one to call her. Nobody's called yet. So, anything else you want to talk about? I split my pants this morning. Split. That's a true story? Split. That's it? Not a bad word. Split. You split your pants. Yep, coming out of my car. So now I have Woods' fleece tied around my waist. Woods. Okay, but it's the back of your pants, right? Yeah, yeah. Right under my butt cheek. Okay. Oh, man. I don't want to see it, honestly. And I know you wouldn't show me anyway, but can I just see the jeans that you're wearing? Yeah. Stand up. So they got rips all over them. Okay. Oh, wow. Hanging on for dear life. She's pretty. You know, if guys knew that the jeans that she was wearing had holes in them. Yeah, it'd be all the way in. That blondie over there.
Yeah, so this morning they finally gave out the old butt. Ripped jeans means you're kind of easy, by the way. Well, it means you desperately want to make love to men. It means you're a sexual deviant. You're a fetishist. To buy a new pair of jeans. And also that you've been running hills, so your butt got bigger. Oh, boy. Running hills? Yeah. In jeans? No. Oh. I've been working on my butt expanded. Ripped the pants. How did your butt expand if you're working out? Muscles. Butt lifts. I'm working against gravity, my friend. I'm over 30. Yeah, she's letting everybody know her butt is muscular. Yeah, she's got a muscular butt. It's taut is what it is. I'm getting ready for my Pusscat Dolls appearance. So I will be working that butt. There you go. She's getting it all and tuned up. It's very taut. Getting it tuned up and right on some hills. Lauren O'Brien is going to do a Pussycat Dolls routine at the House of Blues in San Diego when we do a live broadcast. We're going to invite guys down and it will be, we're going to find, how many people are in the Pussycat Dolls? There's only like, I think like six or seven of them. All right. That's what we need. So we'll get five or six girls to go along with, to compliment LOB. A professional choreographer? Yep.
And we're going to have a professional choreographer teach them a dance. And we will invite listeners down to come down there and see them perform it. Oh, yeah. It's going to be a tough process to eliminate because there's literally about 50 girls that want to join. Yeah, we'll see who shows up and really goes the extra mile and wants to. Everyone talks real big sometimes. Got to earn it. You got to earn it. You got to audition. The good news for me is I won't have to audition. Yeah, you don't. Otherwise, I'd probably be eliminated because I'm not that coordinated. Well, we know this. We know that it's L.O.B. sexy and there's going to be some sexy women up there with her. And there's nothing wrong with that. Let's see. M1 Scooby's on the line from RB. Are you there, Scoob? Hello. What's up? What's going on? Not too much. You're talking about your son, you know, liking purple and you're saying he's not manly. Well, I didn't say he wasn't manly. What I said was that I said, hey. I said that's not necessarily a guy color, which, Scoob, do you disagree? I don't disagree, but I'm just throwing it out there. One of your boys wears purple. Who? Justin Bieber. That's a good statement. That's fair enough. That's fair enough, Scooby. That's a good call. Scooby, well done. Well done, sir. Well done. Don't applaud that. Well done, sir. Genius. First of all. One of your boys. Wow.
Uh, he's not my boy. Your main man. Your main man. Can't believe you would say that. He's allowed me to die. Listen, I'm not, I'm not, he's not my boy. Yeah. Isn't. I saw Never Say Never the other day. What did you think of it? I liked it. Dude, it, I don't know why. I don't know why you like it, but we do. You like it. Come on, Scooby. If you're a human being and you watch it, like, maybe it's their fault. It's like this. It's the way they made it. It's the way they made it. You know, it's like this. Like, I don't agree. with the politics of, who's that dude that did Roger and Me and Bowling for Columbine? Michael Moore. I don't agree with Michael Moore's politics, but he makes a movie so good that you're like, man, I think I kind of believe it. I'm kind of in. I know. So Scooby just sitting over there on his Harley. Yeah. In his leather vest. That's right. Leather vest, just watching Justin Bieber movies. That's right. You know it. And I like it. What a fabulous idea. Hey, listen, you can say whatever you want to say. He is a gay man. No, he is not. No, he's not. He's a straight man. You can say whatever you want, but I loved that movie. I mean, I freaking loved it. Yeah, it was good stuff. Yeah, I mean, maybe it was an act of aggression on the movie's part, but it got me. Maybe I'm a little creeper, too, but...
His mom's kind of hot. It's true. She attracted? Yeah. Is she? How do you think he got to be so pretty? That's true. He's a very pretty little boy. Most daughters take after their mothers. That's right. Well, thank you for the call, Scoob. All right. Let's see. This is M1 Dan from Escondido. Hi. Hey, how you doing? Good. I saw that photo that you have over at Los Poyos Grill in La Mesa. First off, who discovered that place? Los Poyos Grill in La Mesa? I believe they came to us. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. Well, I don't know, but the picture that you guys have in there that you signed, oh, my God, Matt better put a ring on that finger. Yeah. Oh, yeah. She's a piece, isn't she? Man. Oh, my God. I was just like, you know, it was terrible. And I'm married, you know, I have a couple kids, but I'm over there acting like I'm getting condiments saying, Jesus, really? I got to go look again. Why would a guy want to marry a hot, funny girl? I don't know. I don't know, man. It's weird. It's weird. Especially after that choreography and all those guys that are going to be watching, man, he's going to have some competition soon. That's right. That SOB. Is he even going to be there? That's what I was just going to ask you. He's going to see a lot of dudes. Like this. I don't know. A lot of video cameras going. I haven't exactly crossed that bridge. You have not. Well, you better cross that bridge because there's going to be a lot of... It's bigger bridges to cross, my friend. I understand, but let's think of this as a...
As at least a drawbridge. It isn't the main bridge, but this is a bridge that needs to be addressed because there will be some men there that have come to see you. He was there with his dad and my brother when I had to drop trowel at the Mikey-thon and wear a schoolgirl outfit. Yeah, girl. He was definitely there for that. That was awesome. Wow. All right, I'll say it. It was awesome. It was pretty awesome. Gosh, man. Creeps. Men. We really, you know, it isn't our fault that we have it hardwired into our head. What we should be able to do is have a friend that's a girl and go, listen, because they're our friend, we don't see them in that way. No way. Can't do it. I still like to look. Can't do it. I'm not going to touch. I still like to touch. God, I love to touch so much. I'm just looking. I love to look. Let me touch for one second. Just for a second. Just for a second. Just for a second, girl. I'm going to look. Hey, first, I'm going to look. Then, if I get the chance, I'm going to touch. I'm going to touch. I'm going to touch. This is the palm of my hand, and this is your mouth.
All right, now listen to me. All right? I like to look, and you ain't going to say nothing about me touching it. This is the sound of you shutting up. All right? You guys are monsters. Okay, now hold on. I'm going to use the back of my hand, and I'm going to graze the back of your neck. Oh, God. With my knuckles. Now look, I'm touching it. That's not my knuckles. We're all okay. That doesn't even make sense. That's not my knuckles. Yes, because your penis has four barbs on it. Yes, it does. Why do you have a ridged penis? Yeah. Penish. Are you rubbing a husky pencil on the back of my neck? That feels really weird. I know you're jealous. There's a Slim Jim. There's a Slim Jim. Hey, don't put beef jerky on my neck. Hey, guys, at least my soldier still comes to attention. I'm sure you guys have a little trouble with that. My drawbridge still goes up. If by drawbridge...
You mean a fat crayon? My flagpole can still fly old glory in a windstorm. It's like the fat crayon with a flat side on one side. My crane will still lift the load. He wrote these down, by the way, I guarantee you. He's going to erection idioms that are old. My erector set is erected. Hey. Is that a piano sausage on the back of my neck? It's really creepy. My lotion dispenser can still dispense lotion. That's freaking disgusting. And it's not ambiguous. It's not. It's not clever. Who says my lotion dispenser in a normal sense? Right. There's no such thing as a lotion dispenser. It's called lotion. Gosh, darn it. Gosh. My pencil still has lead. That's even better. And I made a pencil. But that's like. That's clever. That's at least clever, you know. I still got lead in the pencil. That makes sense. Hey, Mac, my device that spurts stuff out. Wow. Still works. That's gross.
So's lotion. Dispenser. Dispensing lotion. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Hmm. I wonder what he means by that. My shooting rocket can still shoot. Thank you. I am trying to figure out what does Jay mean by that. My ballpoint pen still writes my full ink. Oh, God. Gosh, he's a creep. He's such a creep. Yeah. Okay, so all kinds of stuff to tell you. We are going to fill you in. Wait until you hear what the cowardly captain, the guy that was the cruise ship captain in Italy, wait until you hear the excuse that he gave for getting on the lifeboat.

And our phone screener is 19-year-old Nicole. Yeah, it could be worse. Could be worse than two Foxy girls on the show. That is a true statement. Let's see. So on M1, that's a Mikey Show listener. You're a Mikey Show listener. You are very passionate about the Mikey Show.
You get involved in grassroots campaigns, meaning the Mikey show. There's still a lot of people that don't know that the Mikey show is on FM 94.9. And if you would like the Mikey show to continue, you need to let people know. You got to let them know the Mikey shows on FM 94.9. Spread the word. Never been more of an underdog in my career. Underdog. I played underdog in my life because. I'm five foot six and I'm not that good looking. And so I have always played underdog in that regard. Thank goodness I could make jokes. Still make jokes. Personality, pal, goes a long way. As Wood says, a mouthpiece. You got a mouthpiece on you. And so, but we need M1 Nation to get together and create something. An uprising.
And make this thing huge. Blow it up on social media. Blow it up everywhere. And get your friends listening to the Mikey Show. And get them listening to the Mikey Show by turning their radio on. Yep. On the reg. And listen to that sucker. Spread it. You spread it. And when you call in, turn your radio down. Get to the point. Don't cuss. That's what makes you M1. You got to know the rules. Our friend Lizzie. And one Lizzie said that it's really good to listen to the radio. You can listen to it on an iPod Nano. So if you have one of those, it comes in crystal clear. That's cool. And make that right for yourself. You invest in yourself and your friends. That's right. The word of the day is horizon. So sometime between now and nine, I'm going to say the word horizon. And when I do, what you need to do is be caller number nine. I'll give you tickets to the Supercross at Qualcomm. on February 11th, and I'll enter you for the grand prize pair of pit passes, lunch, and a track walk. Phone lines open to you just like they were at 530. So if there are people that are just waking up right now, you can call 570-1949. You can ask any question that you'd like. This is the time during our program where we go, it's open to your discretion, not ours. We have a plan, but...
We can deviate from the plan if you have something you want to ask us, if you have something you want to ask me, if you want to bring something to the table. You can do any of that. Now's the time. Woods is going to fill us in on the fact that Tebow mania is still a part of American culture right now. It is. It's still the biggest thing going in sports. That's all anybody wants to talk about is Tim Tebow. And it came out yesterday that, you know, this guy, he's a tough kid. And everybody knows he's a tough kid. But apparently he played through some rib, lung, and chest injuries in that game, in that shellacking against the Patriots, which the Broncos lost 45-10. Bruised lung. Holy cow. Some busted up ribs and some chest injuries. He, on a tackle in the third quarter, and he got an MRI on Monday. He will have no, you know, there's going to be no lingering effects of any of this. He'll make a full recovery. I mean, he's a young kid. That is a man. He's a man. I kind of thought, I was like, well, if you have a bruised lung, aren't you maybe hurting your team being out there or no? You know what I mean?
Yeah, but you don't know you have a bruised lung. Yeah. You just know your chest hurts like a madman. I had a bruised lung. I didn't know what happened. Really? Mm-hmm. Flip and slide incident. Was there alcohol involved? Yeah, of course. Were you topless? No, I was in a bathing suit. There are so many things about this woman that we don't know. You bruised your lung? Yeah, I went to the emergency room the next day. Lauren O'Brien. Because the alcohol probably, like, you know, masked a lot of it. And the next day, I was... Bent over like, oh, God. Oh, my gosh. Slip and slide. Slip and slide with a basketball net on the end. So that you're supposed to dunk when you get to the end. Remember when you would go on slip and slides, not to rabbit hole too much, but when you would do it in your backyard and there'd be a freaking rock. Of course. Or a root. Thanks, Dad. That's probably where the bruised one came. Sprinkler head. Yeah, sprinkler head. Yes. We have friends that have a sloped yard, and you start at the top, and it's like 100 foot. They use a piece of plastic. You are booking by the time you hit the end. That's awesome. It's awesome. It doesn't sound safe, though. Oh, it's so safe because you kind of run out into the grass. I mean, you get some grass burns, but, man, you're flying by the time you hit the end. And there's little kids on it, and you kind of speed up and hit them. Wa-bam! You're taking them out. That's pretty fun. It sounds fun, but I weigh the fun against the danger, and I play it too safe. Yeah, I think now I'd probably be a little...
scared in college with a lot of alcohol. It's a good idea. Great idea in college. I was never drunk do stuff guy. No. You were a drunk sit there guy. Well, I was drunk funny guy. Funny guy. Oh, yeah. I was drunk do stuff and rally everyone to do it with me. Yep. Girl. You were? Oh, yeah. Along with steal stuff, girl. Steal signs. Hey, everybody. We're all going to get laid. That doesn't necessarily mean that when she drank. Doesn't. Hell, yeah. No. No. It was more like let's all have fun together. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Let's not get serious. Group thing. You're in a group bit. I want to wrestle you so freaking bad. Thank you, Chris Hansen. I can't control my horny level. Oh, wow. She didn't necessarily say that. I have like superhuman strength. Are we about to make out right now? Yes. Making out was always good. Yeah. 570-1949. Hey, I also wanted to tell you, Mike, that this is a huge football weekend. This is your NFC and your AFC championship games this weekend. Winners of these games, they go to the big dance, the Super Bowl. First game on Sunday is going to be the Ravens.
At the Patriots. Go Pats. Yeah, I think the Pats take this one, don't you? Don't you? That game is 3 o'clock Eastern, so 12 o'clock our time. And then the Giants at the Niners. This game is going to be awesome. 3.30 our time. I'm taking the Niners. Niners. Niners. I took the Niners, too. Gosh, I hope they win. They look good. Can you imagine John Harbaugh taking that team to the Super Bowl? If they win. It means he would have taken him to the Super Bowl in his first year. Jim Harbaugh. Is the other Harbaugh at the Ravens? So it could be a Harbaugh. Could be a Harbaugh Super Bowl. Harbaugh Super Bowl. Think those guys know how to coach? Dude, I know. I can't stand either of them, but congrats. Tip your cap when they're good. M1 Boos is on the line from Dallas. What's going on, dude? What's up with you guys? Not too much, man. What's up? Well, you know, all your talk of... underdog and needing a grassroots movement got me a little bit worried. Are there troubled waters ahead? There's always troubled waters. You're always maneuvering through troubled waters. But you know what, man? I'll be honest with you. We need listeners. We need listeners to do their thing. You can be our bridge over troubled waters. That's right. And, you know, the deal is that we don't have
The money behind us, like a company like Clear Channel that goes out there and puts up billboards all over the place. We don't, you know, we don't do that. We don't do that. And so we rely on listeners to be able to do it. And they do. And we need it now more than ever before. Absolutely. And you know what you have here. You got your favorite radio show. A radio show, by the way, that means so much to people that when we're not on the air. Or when they don't get us, they flip out. And so, you know, if it means something to you, you got to do something about it, man. Here's what you really need to do. You need to get your, if you know people that are listening to any other radio show, first of all, let them know that I'm on FM 94.9 and that the Mikey show's on FM 94.9 because part of the thing, excuse me, is that a lot of people don't know. So they may be listening to something like their iPod or another radio show because they just don't know. They thought you were out of the business, maybe. Woods talks to people. Lauren, Jay, we all talk to people on a consistent basis that go, Mikey's still on the radio? Yeah. And, you know, so, you know, part of this is that you got to, you know, people have to know. We got to let people know. I've got another. Go ahead.
I got another question, too, for you. Maybe you can kind of help explain this to your listeners. Well, for me, I don't have a choice. I'm in Dallas, so I'm listening on my iPhone right now. But for those that are there, and we get advertisements just the same as if I were listening on the radio. Does it impact you guys if people across the city are listening on their phones and not specifically on the radio, and how? I can't answer that question. Like, legally can't, or you just don't know? Yep. So if I were to say, would it be a true statement for me to say that? I can neither confirm nor deny any statement. I would just like to emphasize that we are a radio show. Yes. And that's what I will say. We are a radio show. And we broadcast live from 5.30 to 9 every day. We've got a tower for a reason. Yeah. Yeah, I listen to you guys every day, and I wish, you know, if I were there, you'd definitely be on my radio. Well, it's 94.9 frequency modulation. Yeah. It's 94.9 FM. Right. And we'd love for you to listen to us that way. Can I say something, too? Kind of rabbit hole, but not really. Matt, my boyfriend, plugged in Pandora into his, he's got an auxiliary cable in his car, and he plugged it in and was listening to Pandora.
I was like, oh, that sound, like the sound is muffled and it sucks. And I was like, I don't care if we listen to commercials. I want to listen to the radio. I don't want to listen, yeah. And the sound, songs, even better than your CDs. Like things just sound better coming out of the radio. Yeah, they do. And that's because the people that are engineering it know what they're doing. That's right. You ask a band, you ask if anybody's ever been in a band that's had a song played on the radio, if they'd rather click on iTunes and listen to it on their computer or if they'd rather be driving in their car. and hear their song come on the radio, that's it. It's the greatest industry. You know what I mean? It's it. It's why when you hear a song, even if you have the CD or you have it on iTunes that you've heard a thousand times, when you hear it come on the radio, you crank it up because you're like, it just sounds better. That reminds me, I was driving when the Deftones were here last year. I called in to our station here and said, hey, I'm going to see the Deftones. So Tommy was on the event and he played. a Deftone song for me on the radio. I'm like, hell yeah! May I turn it up as loud as it can go? I've got it in my iPod right there. Hearing that on 94.9, I was like... It just sounds better. That's not just a nostalgic thing. It factually sounds better. That is a true statement. So, Boos, I love you and I love your questions that I can't answer.
You would have been a good politician, pal. Yes. That's right. Yeah. Well, I think you'd answer them. Thank you. All right, dude. Yeah. Later. All right. Love you guys. Love you, buddy. Love you. M1 Jesse from Oceanside. Hi. Hey, what's going on, man? I was trying to let Boost know that if you download tuning radio, you know, like the regular market on your phone. You guys come through like great and great. Why don't you listen to us on the radio, though? It sounds better. It sounds better. Listen to us on the radio. I like the way it sounds better. It does sound better. Because I'll tell you what, hearing us on the radio is better than not hearing us at all. I'll tell you that much. True statement. Imagine if you couldn't hear the Mikey show at all. That's very true. Wouldn't that stink? I have to listen to you guys with my phone as I'm working. Right. Why do you have to? Because I don't have a radio anywhere near me. Why don't you get one? Yeah, buy one. Because our engineers work really, really hard to make the sound. You know, it's called processing, and that's what makes my voice sound as sexy as it does. That's why I sound sexy.
So much better when I hear myself coming when we play Best Of and I'm a narcissist and I'll listen to our show on our day off. I'm like, oh my gosh, I sound so much better than the podcast. That's right. You know, the reason is because our engineering staff works very, very hard to make sure that that radio loud and to make sure that everything that you hear, everything is crystal clear. We want it to be as if you listen to it. on frequency modulation. I'm talking frequency modulation. Don't, don't even for a second. This is, uh, who's this? Hey, Harold, what's up? I was gonna say to everyone, they could just run out and buy themselves an iPod. It's got an FM tuner on it. Uh-huh. That's what I do. The Nano. Really? Uh, cool. Yeah. Right on. I have it. I think it sounds better through a speaker, though. Yeah, it sounds best through a speaker. There you go.
There's so much technology out there. I don't really get all of it. I don't understand all of it. The nano works on a frequency. You have to have it just the same as you would, you know, an antenna. A lot of Mikey Show listeners are very, you know, into the technology. I just wish Mikey Show listeners were more, you know, into our philosophy of just throwback to the old days, you know what I mean? A couple speakers. Ah, this is the Mikey Show here. Hello, see? Hello. Hear ye, hear ye. Mikey Show will now commence. Why? Why? I've been listening. Hello, hello, yes. Hello, hello, yes, yes. You're listening to the Mikey Show broadcasting live from old St. Palomar. St. Palomar Mountain, yes. We have an old-time, old-fashioned antenna and a transmitter. Come in. This is Forestry 129. 4 slash 9. Frequency modulation. We're coming in now, live and clear, through the force of Mission Valley. Broadcasting into the delta reaches of San Diego County.

Yeah, I was calling to say, you know, I've always had you on the radio, Mikey, ever since you... Took over Howard Stern Spy here in San Diego over in Clear Channel. Right on. And I usually, I work at a retail store that's not going to be named. And I work a lot of morning shifts. And what I usually used to do was in the electronic section was put you on every single... Wow. That is cool. Love it. And there was one overnight shift that I did. And I brought my portable DVD player with me when you guys did the Titanic, the 28 hours. That's the best. Yeah. And had that thing planned while watching the movie. How great was that? Oh, it was hilarious. I think I spent almost all three hours watching the movie while trying to clean up the department. Sometimes it's wonderful to revisit the old times looking into the old Titanic's grand ballroom, the parlor, as they called it. Tell us about it, Rose. Oh, it was gorgeous.
It was the first time the mirror had been invented. So it was the first time you ever saw yourself. It's the first time I ever saw my reflection in the mirror. Before you go on, would you take that ivory comb out of your hair and just let your hair down? Well, if I do. Just keep it up. If I do let it out, you must know my long, gray, silky hair will fall like ribbons. No, not why. They'll fall like ribbons of clouds across my naked breasts. Ample bosom. You asked for it. Please don't. I changed my mind. I changed my mind. There you go, dear. I changed my mind. There they are. Oh, God. I changed my mind. I changed my mind. You know, I've always been a flapper.
Yeah, clearly, I can see that. Help me! They're tucked in your waistband. Oh, my God! You know, it's so strange.

On the 805 northbound past the 54 east, it's a mattress. It's in the number four lane. A little bit of a delay as you travel on to the 125 southbound. Looks like you've got a small back up here. Actually, it's not the 125 southbound. That looks pretty good. It's the 8 east. They cross on my map, so it's hard to tell sometimes. The 8 eastbound, the 125 north is a little slow, 48 miles an hour. And then you've got some back up here on the 94 westbound Avocado Boulevard. It's about 35 miles an hour.

Good morning. And now back to the Mikey Show with Mikey. Don't really like to swim. Unlike most Latinos. Woods. I can put down a 20 pack of chicken nuggets. No problem. Lauren. I got a little pepper up my nose. Had to sneeze. And Jake. No, I didn't cry. Come on, man. On FM 94.9. Love me some Asia. Love you Asians? I said, I say, I say. Why? I love me some Asia. Heat of the moment. It's FM 94.9. It's the Mikey Show. And word of the day today is horizon. So when I say that, I'll weave it into a sentence between now. And nine, caller nine, when you hear me say that word somehow, what we want you to do is give us a call and we will give you tickets to the Monster Energy AMA Supercross at Qualcomm Stadium. Let's see. A few things going on. Oh, my gosh. I know. I want to pull the curtain back. It's just popped in my head. I'm in a rabbit hole for a second. And then.
I do have stuff that I want to tell you, but we said save it, save it, save it. So we're going to talk about it now on the air. Has not been discussed. And I want you to ask yourself as you're driving or listening in your office, do you have this friend? I'm talking about my friend, L-O-B. Oh, and I think people should ask themselves, do you have this friend? My friend, Michael R. Esparza. Well, my friend. Lauren R. O'Brien. It's my actual middle initial. True. Yes. Has made it very, very clear. I don't like Super Bowl parties. It's not my bit. You know what I like? I like getting in my pajamas. And I like staying at home. And I don't do the whole Super Bowl bit. Or I'll do a small gathering. But I don't like the yip-yap. With people. Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me.
This is a new development. This is a new development. This small gathering. You guys don't listen to me. Last year, I watched it with four people. We could run tape on this, Mike. We had to. The year before, I watched it with four people. Call them ones if you have ever heard this woman say on these airwaves, and just ask, do you have this person in your building that says, I don't like it. Now, I say to our producer Jay the other day, I go, how come you haven't responded to our Super Bowl Evite that we're having at my place? And Lauren goes, I nearly got whiplash. And I go, I whipped around and looked at you like, that's got to be a bit, right? And she goes, you have sent out an Evite? And I go, yeah, but... I didn't send one to you because you said you don't go to Super Bowl parties. And more specifically, she said, I'm not coming to your Super Bowl party. And so she goes, what? Yeah. I deserve the invitation. Oh. I deserve the right to say yes or no. But it's going to be a no. You already said no. You already said it. We know it because you said it. What if I wanted to do something special and show up?
Now I can't. Something special. I don't know where it is or when it is. Don't you? Who's going or what to bring. She's a monster. You are a monster. Sometimes Woods and I will take the service elevator down. And I have this odd thing where when I'm driving on the freeway, I remember exactly where I was on the freeway when I thought of something or had a certain conversation. I do that sometimes when I'm leaving a building. I was in a service elevator with my friend Woods. And I said to him, I'm genuinely sad that Lauren O'Brien is not going to be at that Super Bowl party. Yep. Three years running. Three years running. Yeah, three years running. She doesn't come. No. And I'm genuinely sad because I enjoy her company. She's funny and she's fun and I like it. But she's made it clear. Your Super Bowl party, Mike, it ain't happening. Yeah, I'm not going. I ain't going. It means nothing to me. It don't mean crap to me. That's not what I said. It don't mean diddly. Squat. I don't even have cable at my house, so I have to go somewhere to watch it. My blood right now, if it was capable of boiling, would be boiling. She doesn't want to go, but she wants to be invited. But she just wants to go tell you no. I want to be able to have the choice. Everyone wants an invitation. You already told us your choice. You said, I don't like Super Bowl parties. I thought about going, and I thought about surprising you, but now...
You're a liar. That's BS. That's a lie. It's clear that I'm not welcome. She can say that because she knows that. How would we ever prove? It's clear that I'm not welcome. I have a solution. What? Add her to the evite. Just add her. You can add. So that she can hurt me. So that she can stab my heart. Oh, wow. Just add her to it. Yeah. Just add her to it. She's already made it clear. I'm not going. I don't want to go. I've never been. Woods, it's not about being added as an afterthought. It's about the invitation went out and guess who didn't make the cut? You didn't. You know why? That's right. Because you said you didn't want to make the cut. Does anybody have that friend? 570-1949. They go. I don't want to go to your house, but I want an invitation. That's not what I said. I don't want to go to the dance, but I want to be out. That's the girl that you've asked out a hundred times, and then you finally stop asking. She's like, hey, but what about you don't want to go out with me? She'll say no to you a million times. You fall over yourself. You play hard to get. I do not. No, no, I'm talking to Mikey. Mikey, play hard to get now, and she will be all over you. Mr. Esparza. Yes, Ms. O'Brien.
Listeners out there, do you have any friends that included everyone in your immediate circle? In fact, maybe you work in a really small office and everyone else got the invite. He's gimping out right now in my eye. He's gimping out. That is so rude. Oh, my gosh. So mean. And it just goes to prove my point. You're an exclusive club. Oh. You and Woods, and I guess Jay's invited now. How do I do it? How do I do it? You don't. I guess Jay's on the inner circle. Wow. Oh, well, they're calling. You guys in the inner circle? Uh-oh. M1 Michelle from Scripps Ranch is that friend. Go ahead, Michelle. I will admit it. I am that friend. I get really hurt when I don't have an invite, even if I don't want to go. Wait, wait, wait, wait. And you're also the girl that makes it clear, I don't want to. Nobody made it clear. You said it on the air. On the air. On the airway. Yes, you did. I said. I probably won't. No. No. You didn't. No. You go, no. I don't do Super Bowl parties. I don't do Super Bowl parties. I want to watch in my PJs at home. If I saw how many people were going, like if you only had 10 people going to your party, guess who might be number 11? Me. I do.
I don't even think there's 10. Well, I wouldn't know because I didn't receive the e-vite. This woman is a sitcom all in and of herself and a reality show wrapped into one. She is a reality sitcom. And you're that person too, Michelle? You do that? Oh, yeah, definitely. Especially when I know that there's going to be other people there. I want to find out who's going to be there. What am I missing out on, Syndrome? What am I missing out on? Because we're getting phone calls. They're all in support of LOP. How can that be? She's the right one here. You invite somebody. I am the wrong one. How can that be? You invite your friend. M1 Sunshine from San Diego. Hey, you know what? Listen, you guys. I am that person in the office who doesn't get invited. Everybody in the office gets invited and they leave me out. Do you tell everybody that you don't really like gatherings? No, I don't. Not at all. Well, then you're different because that would be rude. They sound mean, like my friend Mike R. Asparza. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. She knows I want her there more than anything. We invited her over to watch football last weekend. She didn't come. That's because it's just the two of you. No, it was Rebecca, too. One woman in the world besides my wife.
0.0000001% of the female audience would be invited to a football game at my place. We want her there. There's only one broad that can keep up with the big boys. That's her. And that's her. I'm looking at her. She wants you to invite her so she can look into your eyes with those steely blues and turn you down. By the way, fellas, this is the same girl. That told us a story one time where she said that the guy said to her at the end of the date, can I have a kiss? And she turned her head to the side as if to just take his manhood and just cut it off. And then she squinted and went, no. Okay, you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't. If I kissed him, I would have been a tease leading him on. If I'm honest, I'm a B word. is M1 Castillo from San Diego. Are you there? Yeah. Go ahead. First of all, L.O.B., I love you. Thank you. We had a friend that was like this, and I said had because she unfriended us from Facebook, and personally, we are no longer friends. Wow. I'm headed that way. Yeah, L.O.B. is about to find me. She's right there. And all I did was love. We knew she couldn't go, period. They had something else going, so we didn't bite.
The next day, she got all butt hurt. I wish I could make her go. How many times have we asked her to lunch? Yes. I want to tell Castillo and I want to tell all three of you clown shows. Yeah. You give the invites. You saying you're not. It'll hurt to see you not responding. To respond no or not respond. Will it? Yeah. Won't it? It can't hurt you to send the invite out. It won't hurt you to come hang out with your friends. It won't hurt you to send the invite. I was surprised to see her night on there. I'll be honest. I was surprised. You mother. I mean, I wouldn't have invited her either. You got a lot of nerve. I was still surprised. You mother. Because I still want her. I mean, maybe there's a chance in hell that she'll come. There was a chance. Yeah. Now. Yeah. If Jet Magazine is going to do a shoot over there, she'll be there. For sure. If Ebony Magazine is coming over to the house. Yep. And Ty Diggs himself is going to open the door, then yes. You have a lot of African-American friends, Mike. Yes. And if I saw they responded, guess who might be there? Yeah. Well. Me. You know what?
You try, you try, and you try some more. We have asked this girl to lunch. I'd say... We keep asking. Yeah, in two some odd years, I'd say we've asked her... I went to lunch with these clowns yesterday. 75 times. I went yesterday. 70! 75 times? Give me a break. I think that's a lot. Okay. 60. That's... Six. 75 is... No, 60 times. 74. 74 times. Normally, I see your point, though. Normally, I would not want to go with the two of you. You guys go to Taco Bell. Yeah, we go to Taco. We went to Taco Bell one time. And you guys get so lost in each other's eyes. Yeah, you do. You just get fast food, and then you, like, make out with each other. Yeah, we make out. Yes, we start to make out. I went to lunch with you clowns yesterday. Well, you had to. I did not. It was a bit we did, and you had to go. Oh, my gosh. What a monster. Give the invite, you clowns. Give someone the opportunity to reject you. But what if they already rejected you? They didn't. They did. Now, here's the deal. I bet if we looked it up in the etiquette book, I wonder if she's right. She probably is. There's a chance that she might be right. She is. She is. Even if you know, I get invitations all the time to things that are happening on the East Coast that they know full well I can't make it, but they're giving me the opportunity. Do they know full well you don't want?
To make it? And you've said live on the radio? I've never said. Yeah, have you ever said to them, your friends in the East Coast, have you ever said on their radio show you don't want them? No. That you don't want any part of them? No, but I've said I can't make it. You don't want anything to do with them? They said, oh, we're going to have a baby shower. And Martha will go, oh, man, I can't. I've got to work. Wait, Mike. Mm-hmm? Who put the Evite together? Good point, Woods. My wife, Rebecca, put the Evite together with the assistance of myself. Yes, she was asking you, who should I invite? Yes, now. I said... Don't you dare blame this on Rebecca. Well, in fairness to me, it's all Rebecca's fault. No. But I said to Rebecca, hey, listen, this year we're not having a gigantic Super Bowl party. See? Information that would be useful to your friend, L.O.B. And I said, only people that are coming to the Super Bowl party this year are super close family and friends. And she said, what are we talking? I said, I don't know, like the people that are on the show, Ashley, Rob, Sky, Eddie. Well, then I definitely need to go because they're the people I actually hang out with. Yeah. No, I said people on the show. I said, you know, I go Woods, Jay. I go L.O.B. doesn't want to come.
She made it crystal clear. I'll tell you what. She's basically done it with smoke signals, pigeon carriers. She put it on the back burner. Pony Express. Pony Express. Burrow for me. And she's done it in every single way possible. Morse code. Here's the deal. Here's the deal. Go ahead. I don't have cable at my house. Right. The person who I know I'll be watching the game with, my boyfriend, Matt Commerce, he didn't have cable at his house. Yeah. Oh, my God. We got to watch the game somewhere. Hey, you're more than welcome. If we don't get an invitation anywhere else, you were it. Oh, my gosh. In fact, that's what she said. She said she wanted to see what other options were out there. She's a monster. Yeah, she did. I've got that phrase. I did not say that. Who won't call you back, doesn't do anything, and he wants to call you and be like, hey, look, I got a better option. Excuse. Yeah. No. You monster. I wanted to say that just to catch you because, Mike, you agree with things before you listen to them. And I wanted you to go, yeah, yeah. Yeah. M1, Chef Tom from Cardiff. How are you doing, Mikey? Good. Just an odd question. I don't know if you remember me back from Philadelphia days. Of course I do. You're your best customer. I've gone to a couple of your Super Bowl parties and then birthday party years, I think, and then all of a sudden I stopped getting the e-invite. Now I'm really open to a can of worms.
Now I've really opened a can of worms. Here's the deal. Here's the deal, though, Tom. I haven't been... The things have been scaling back and scaling back and scaling back to this year. It's even a more intimate and quiet occasion. Yeah, not everyone on his radio show is invited this year. So don't feel bad. I sit across from him every day. I think she does it just to knock me in the nuts. She does. No. Wait a minute. Something... Just occurred to me. If anybody has a right to be pissed off at me, it's the pretty phone screener that's sitting in the room over there. Wow. She's like, oh, hi. Hi. You guys are practically neighbors. Hey, remember me? I'm a person that just... I work on your show, too. Remember, I'm here on the... She wouldn't go anyway. Nicole. I just... Nicole. Yes. You probably wouldn't go because I'm an old guy, right? Or am I wrong? More than twice your age. I would go. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. I'm a monster. Okay, maybe I'm a monster. Yeah. Yeah. All right, Nicole's coming. But Nicole would come to a Super Bowl party. Yeah, she would actually come there. And she's never said anything. Give her the option to respond. Send her an invite. Do the right thing.
Just do the right thing, Mike. How did this... It got flipped on you. I know. It got flipped on me. It got flipped on me. Like, I knew I was right in this situation, and yet I'm wrong. I didn't see Garrett's name on there, either. What? I'm not... You're just saying Garrett likes football. It's the people that are directly on the Mikey show. Gosh, darn it. Except for LLB. Yeah, except for LLB. And Nicole. Yeah, Garrett. Just the guys. So just the guys, I guess. It's all right. Just accept your role as the villain, Mike. Way to go, Rebecca. How did this happen? What just happened? What just happened here? Gosh. Oh. I'm sending Nicole and Levi. And L.O.B. And L.O.B. Yep. Do the right thing. Do the right thing. If you click no on that thing, you're dead.

And our phone screener is Nicole. Woods, what is the latest with the big names that are going to be playing this weekend?
Well, interesting that you ask, Mike, because Eli Manning, who is the New York Giants quarterback, had to miss practice yesterday. He's got a stomach bug. They're saying, hey, we're just hoping it's a 24-hour deal. But, man, when you get those bugs, it knocks a lot out of you. Like the flu? Like the flu. It takes a while to kind of get back up to speed. I'm a 49er fan, and that scares me. You want to know why? Why? As soon as I hear that, I go, oh, no. I see a... I see a story there. Yes. And the story is, even though Eli Manning had the stomach flu, battling flu-like symptoms, Eli was able to lead his team to a 21-18 victory. Yes. Like the NFL Films guy. Oh, yeah, Steve Sable. Steve Sable would be like, it was a cold day at Candlestick Park when into the stadium came a very sick Eli Manning. He was frail and weak. But he overcame it all to throw for four touchdown passes against the number one ranked defense. What a baby. It's winter in New York. Everybody's sick. Yeah. Yeah. Well, if you know anything about the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan, he played a game one time with the flu. You're freaking me out. And scored, I don't know, 40 points. I think it was the Jazz. And the guy, he had the flu. And he was sitting on the bench.
with a towel draped over his head, and Scotty Pippen was, like, rubbing his back. Yeah. And they're like, Michael Jordan is clearly the greatest of all time. I know that since you're saying it. Eli Manning hit the field with the flu, but by the fourth quarter, it was all Eli's show. And this 49er defense is coming right after him. This is going to be the end of it. Patrick, it looks like Patrick. A long pass. All the way down the field, Eli Manning. Cruz has got it. He is running to the audience, to the 40, to the 35, to the 30, to the 25, to the 20, to the 15, to the 5. It freaks me out when people play from adversity. Well, Tom Brady will also be playing with adversity because he has an injury to his non-throwing shoulder, which would be his left shoulder.
What about his hair? His hair is on point. What about his mouth? His mouth is on point. Everything's perfect there. Everything's on point. Left shoulder is a little gimpy, but he is going to be fine. His handsome's okay. He's handsome. That little dimple in his chin. It's good. On point. Gosh darn it. Also wanted to mention that the San Diego State Aztecs. How's his buns? His buns are great. The Aztecs were able to pull it out last night against New Mexico 75-70. Feast on that. There's an African-American boy, ma'am, I guess you'd call him, on the Aztecs that made a rap. It's like a theme song for the Aztecs. Oh, I need to hear this. I want to hear it. I need to hear this. He's good. He's sharp. Tim Shelton. There you go. I haven't said the word of the day yet, but I'll work it into a sense. I'm not even going to tell you what it is because I already did. Listen to this crazy story, man. Right here in San Diego, in El Cajon, a lady and her son tried to hire a hitman for $1,000 to kill the son's wife. Wow. Now check this out. Undercover cops, they pose as a hitman. And they arrange how they're going to knock off this 31-year-old woman from right here in San Diego, El Cajon. The mom's name is June Picard.
Engage. Captain Picard. Yeah. Who's Captain Picard? Who's Captain Picard? He's the guy from Star Trek. He makes the rum, too. Yeah, that's Picard Morgan. Got it. That's Captain Picard. Not to be confused with Jean-Luc Picard. Or Bucard. Bucard. So anyway, June Picard, she's a 57-year-old woman, and her son, Francis Noble, they're in some trouble. Some real serious trouble. What happened was, thank goodness for this guy who went to school with the son. They went to school with each other back in the day and ran into each other at a shopping mall in El Cajon. And they get to talking and it becomes very clear to the guy that this dude's looking for somebody to knock his wife off.
So he told police. Good. Thank goodness. And here's what the police said. This is a quote from the police. Were it not for the reporting party coming forward, the victim's days were limited. Oh, my gosh. This was a very serious case. So apparently what they did was they called the woman that was. You know, going to get knocked off. They called her and she was on her way to work. They said, hey, listen, come down to the police department right now. Detour. And so she did. And they actually had to convince her because she she couldn't believe it. Wow. If you're just tuning in, we're telling you about a this was like a hitman story right here in San Diego. And alcohol just happened. But anyway, what had happened was the undercover cops got together with the mom. And that happened on January 11th. And she gave pictures of the girl, her daughter-in-law. They stood to make about $100,000 in, I guess, insurance money, life insurance. Mom gave the license plate number of this girl, all this other information. Even gave $100 as partial payment, like a down payment. And so then...
They call the girl in. They say, look, your husband and his mom, who you live with. Oh, my gosh. They're trying to kill you. And she doesn't believe it. She's like, she can't believe it. So they got to break out surveillance video. And she's got to, like, watch surveillance video. Can you believe? I know. It was so bad that they had to bring in. A victim's advocate person to help her deal with the psychological trauma that you go through of, are you kidding? This really was going to happen to me? I mean, it's unbelievable. Yeah, I know. It's one of those unbelievable deals. But anyway, yeah, it looks like this is going to be probably a pretty. open and close case because they have them. Dead to rights. On video. Yeah, dead to rights. How do you have that conversation with your mom? Yeah, hey mom. You know what I'm thinking. And who comes up with like, you conspire together. Two people think it's okay. So, you know, all along the way they need evidence, right? They need evidence like the taping of it and all that stuff that, you know, they got. So they went this far. They bring the mom and the son together.
And the undercover guy that was pretending to be the hitman, he comes and he says, your wife's dead. He even gives them a piece of her personal clothing. Oh. Seen that before. As proof. Seen that before. And then as they're leaving the meeting, officers. Oh, my God. You think your gut has like a big ball of ice in it when those cops come in and go. Sorry, pal. I think that Grundle tenses up real good. As it should. As you're pulling out of freaking Albertsons. Oh, my God. It's amazing to me when people conspire on things. It's just one thing when someone loses their mind, and it's another when two people can convince each other that this is a good idea. Yeah, all for money. Yeah, for money. And it's a mom and a son. How can you look at your daughter, the woman that you saw the day your son got married at the altar? Yeah. And give pictures of her. Like, oh, by the way, I'm glad you brought that up because they hadn't been married very long. I think they were married like three years. That's it. That's it. But LLB, good point. Like three years ago, you were like dabbing your eyes at the wedding. Yeah. And like, yeah, and my son getting married, blah, blah, blah.
Three years later, that. Yeah, whack her out. Let's whack her out. It just goes to show you, though, if you see something, say something. That person, if that guy that he ran into in the grocery store didn't speak up, could have ended badly. I've seen some of those shows before, and they do specials on that, and they've actually had victims. They've done a picture. They talked a woman into actually doing a picture. I've seen that. Like she was dead. Staging your own death. Yeah, I saw that too. And they show it to the guy and he's like, yeah, cool. All right, well done. Here's the rest of your money. And as soon as he hands that money over, bam, freeze, get on the floor. Yeah. And then I've seen the guy start crying and stuff. And you're like, your life is over, dude. Yeah. I saw that with a woman. Yeah. It was a woman that was hiring. She had very fake. boobies. It was in Miami. And the reason I say she had very fake boobies is because you could tell that they were gigantic. I think I saw that too. You saw that? I think so, yeah. There was a big story in Texas with the lady that was trying to off a little girl.
No way. On the cheerleading squad. Oh, yeah, yeah. Of course. Yeah. Of course. Because her daughter didn't make the cheerleading squad and she wanted her daughter to be, like, captain of the cheerleading. So this mom was trying to put a hit on a girl. Moms ever get crazy? Yeah. Moms ever nuts? It's a made-for-TV movie. Speaking of moms that are nuts, moms ever get nuts when they have their daughters in pageants? Take, uh, listen to this little moment. It's okay. No, it's not okay. She did this on a purpose. She cut her down in the middle of the routine. Look at the other girls. Before the girls did more than me on the stage. She cut her down like crazy. They hate her. They hate her. And I may hate her. I tell you, we're not wrong. That's it. I don't want it. I don't care. Let's go. Let's all do it. No. I'm taking this stuff down. Wait. I can't watch Toddlers and T.R.S. because it makes me insane. They should be locked up. Yes. Right? Wow. That is a mom freaking out because her toddler kid wasn't doing good in the pageant. Go to jail. They should be in jail. They should be in jail. They shouldn't be allowed to have kids. 570-1949 is our phone number. Call us with a good band with a bad song. Woods, give me a good band with a bad song. Piece of cake.
Fleetwood Mac, one of my favorite bands. The song is called Tough. No, you don't. I agree with you. You can't. It's so dorky. It's so dorky. It's so dorky. Oh, my God. Marching band. Yeah. LLB's doing the marching band bit. Give me another one, Woods. Tom Petty. Don't come around here no more. I love Petty. I agree with you on that one, too. Oh, it's the worst. A good music video. Bad song. Don't come around here no more. Give it up. I agree. Give me American Girl. Give me all your good stuff. Give me Refugee. The worst part of that song, I think, is when the women go, stop. Yeah. Yes. It's so bad. Give it up. Stop. Stop eating peyote and writing music. Yeah. Stop eating hashish brownies. Yes. Coming up with songs. For sure. Stop. And that was a hit. Yeah, that was it. I remember the video, but I was like, this song. L.O.B., good band, bad song. Aerosmith, Love in an Elevator. Oh, definitely. It's stupid. Good video. That's so sticky. So sticky and stupid. Give me another one, L.O.B. Elton John, Crocodile Rock. It whips my butt. 100%.
150%. Oh, my God. That may be the dorkiest. That is the dorkiest song. Imagine yourself. How do you dance today? Yeah, well, how do you? How are you? Sock hop? And how are you in your car? Imagine pulling up next to somebody, and they're just blasting crocodile rock. How about when? Is that crocodile rock, dude? That's crocodile rock. Crocodile rock. Imagine Elton. getting that song in the mail and going, what the hell is Bernie Taupin doing with this? This is the lyrics? Crocodile Rock. Bernie, it's Elton. What the F are you thinking of this song? This is Crocodile Rock. I was thinking you could dress as a giant crocodile at your live show. This is so stupid. I was thinking about people in their car. That's stupidest. That is by far the stupidest Elton John song ever. It's so bad. Jay?
I think Blondie, Rapture. Oh. Yeah, Blondie's take on reggae. Oh, my God. A rap. A rap. Early rap. It was her take on rap. That's a good one, Jay. Because I like Blondie. Yeah, the rest of Blondie's great. You know what this song sounds like, honestly? It sounds like she said no 500 times. Yeah. What, what, what? Nicole. She likes it. She likes this. She likes it. I think the first part of this song is fine until she goes into the rap. Because the first part is kind of real Blondie. And then all of a sudden she gets this part. And she's like walking around. Dude, you know what this song sounds like? It sounds like Blondie said no 400 times. And her producer said, I don't care. I'm putting a gun. Like held a pistol to her head. You're doing it. You're doing it. You're doing this. And this is what happened. This was the end result. What's your other one? I know you guys love this song.
But it is horribly done. Kiss Beth. Dude, Beth is badass. You're a monster. You're a monster. It's Peter Criss. He didn't sing a lot. There you go. He shouldn't have. This is a gem. It's a gem. Oh, dude. It's like opening up a clam and you found a pearl. A pearl. An oyster. An oyster. You open an oyster and there's a beautiful pearl. Oh, it's awesome. Oh, Lauren. Gorgeous, gorgeous. It's beautiful. Oh, Beth, what can I do? The house feels so empty. This is a live orchestra on stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. With Kiss. And Peter Criss sitting on a stool in his cat makeup singing the song. And that is a true statement. On a stool. Great band. What, jeans? No, in his whole Kiss gear. Black leather pants. Black leather pants, shirtless, with his cat makeup on. All right, so mine would be, here are mine.
I got, first one is a band that you really love, Hall and Oates. Oh, yeah. But I cannot stand freaking Man Eater. Really? Dorky. I love Man Eater. Dorky. It's iconic, but it is dorky. These guys are both dorks. Oh, they're big dorks. Every song they sing. No way. They're dorks. No way. They're not dorks. Dude. Anytime they're like coming in out of the shadows and looking at you. Hall and Oates. Hollow notes are great. They're genius. Yeah. Awkward dance moves. Great blazers. Yes. Great mustache. Great mustache. Well, pervert mustache. Great porn pervert mustache. Great permanence. I defy someone to disagree with this next one. Great artist, terrible song. I defy you to disagree with this one. Billy Joel. What? What could he possibly do wrong? I know nothing. I know it. Yes. This is the stupidest Billy Joel song ever. This is the one where he was the mechanic in the garage, and they're doing that funny dance. Now, was he married to Christy Brinkley before? That's where they met, right? That's how they met. Yeah, because she was in the video. She was the hottest thing going at the time. She fell in love with him. They fell in love, and they got married. Couldn't have been based on this song. It's so stupid. Oh, God. Right here. Oh, it's awful. It's awful.
M1, let's see. M1 Jason from RB, are you there? I am there. You disagree with Woods, right? I do disagree with Woods. You like it. That's not because of the stupid USC marching band. It has nothing to do with it. It's not it. That song sucks tail. I didn't even think of that. Woods, is it because it's USC? If it was the Notre Dame marching band, would you have liked it? It could be Elvis Presley. leading the marching band. I'd be out on it. It's a terrible song. I like it. Listen to it. Those are the guys that brought you dreams. Yes. And never going back again. This is a get up out of your seat and move. This is, hey, I've done too much cocaine and I'm going to do a big elaborate production with the USC marching band. I could care less. If I saw them live, I'd be getting... Oh my God. LLB is up dancing right now. Oh my... Did you just see that? I was checking out her butt.
Could you see it? L.O.B. has a rip in her jeans today, which she made clear. Which she made clear. Look at the blush. Look at the blush. Look at the blushing. The vein came out. The vein came out. The vein came out. I thought you couldn't see it. L.O.B. ripped the back of her jeans today, and she was up dancing, and Jay was craning his neck, and he was looking at you like he was Tom Hanks. Like, he was Tom Hanks. He'd been on an island on Castaway for years, and he just saw a pork chop. Yeah, and a Dr. Pepper. A pork chop and a Dr. Pepper dancing. I thought you couldn't see it. I couldn't see enough. It was the grodiest face. The look? Oh, I wish I'd seen it. Oh, man, I'm glad I did. Lauren, he raped you with his eyes. Yeah, I raped her. Hey, you want to make $14 the hard way? Oh, man. M1, Ian, I could not disagree with you more. And watch Jay. Oh, yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Go ahead. Ian, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. Go ahead.
Kings of Leon, Sex on Fire. Oh, that song's brilliant. That is a great song. It's a great song. Are you kidding me? That guitar riff, the whole thing is so good. The angst in his voice. He's got such angst. Stupid lyrics. Stupid lyrics. Stupid lyrics. Since when are you a lyricist on a sewer? It's about sex. It's about sex. I'm surprised you don't like it. How is it possible that he doesn't like a song? I know, because it's so creepy. Help me change this flat tire. This song is sexy. Yeah, it is sexy. If someone told me my sex is on fire, I'd be like, you know it is. Yeah. Are you going to extinguish it? No, man. This song is so cool. Are you going to extinguish this fire or not? Right? Can you imagine drunk L.O.B. just being like, hey, it's on fire. Turn it out. Ow, Ian, you don't like that? That's good. It's worse. Worst song ever. Oh, my. How dare. King Clowns. I take it back. Raps is fine. This song's out. Our phone number here is 570-1949. Oh, wait a minute. Guess what we're going to do next? What? The iPod sing-along. Oh, yeah.

This is Bird, Bird Surf Shed with the FM 94.9 Authentic Surf Report for you Thursday morning. Brought to you by the shed. I'll be there all day. Stop in and say hey. Not a lot of waves out there again today. A little small west-northwest, southwest out there, too. A little blips out there running in that kind of ankle-knee waist-high zone on average. Maybe a few pluses. Cloudier skies today should give way to more sunshine later in the afternoon, though. Winds are calm right now, so conditions are fairly clean. Just not a whole lot of waves to be ridden, and the tide is kind of fighting it, too, with that high tide this morning. This has been the FM 94.9 Authentic Surf Report.

Real good nap weather. Well, it isn't. We have something brand new for you. Come in here, Jay. Spontane sings along to his iPod and favorite songs. He can't hear in somebody's... The iPod sing along. The iPod sing along. The iPod sing along. That bear.
Don't hurt him. Don't hurt his ears. Don't hurt his ears. Okay, now here's how the iPod sing-along works. What we do is we give Jay the words. So he's got the words, and he's got an iPod on, and he cannot hear anything but what's blasting in his ears. And then he sings. Not fair. He should be fine, though. He's got the words. He knows the songs. He's got a great voice. You don't get a free ear. I know I don't. I'm just for now so I can hear you. Otherwise, I can't play along. Got it. Got it. Okay. So we're going to do three songs. And what we do is he's now got his earphones on. We're going to play the song. He gets the words. And Woods, should we tell him? No. They need to know. Okay.

I'm going to have you guys sharing this mic right here. OK, cool. The Howells are a local band and they have a new CD called Rocky Ground. The CD release show is at the Casbah. On the 27th. And if you want to hear their music, you want to see them, thehowls.com. But let's talk to the two Johns right now. We have John Cooper, lead singer of the Howls, and John Foreman, lead singer of Switchfoot. And let me ask you, John Foreman, what's the association? How did you guys meet? Oh, God. Well...
Actually, hold on. Let me stop you real quick because he gets the chance to answer this question on air all the time. Yeah, let me hear you do it. Let me hear you do it. Let's hear it, Radar. Come on. Well, his version of the story is actually probably pretty accurate. Yeah. But we were surfing one day and we happen to be two of the most competitive people on the face of the planet. Right. And so the way he always paints it is that I'm out there. burning him, like, snaking people, like, got, like, a sword taped to my back, like, all, like, anything like that. It's all true. Yeah. Um, and, uh, yeah, you can actually, you can take it from here. So, he almost runs me over. Not true. You did not know each other. No. No. I was shredding, though, for the record, okay? For the record. At least it's on record. I mean, we're talking, it's, like, half a foot. It's junky, and we're both just, like, groveling. And then finally, it came to the point where I was like, should I say something? Should I be like, hey, listen, you need to cool down or something. No, wait a minute. We were already both making eyes at each other. Time out. Time out. You understand this because you're both surfers. And I'm looking at LOB and I'm looking at Jay who both surf and they know exactly what you mean.
I am a chunky Mexican guy that does not surf, okay? And so I'm going to need a breakdown of what you're saying here. In layman's terms, what was happening? It's like a guy on the freeway that's just like weaving in and out of traffic. Except for you're kind of still keeping pace with him and you're making like nasty eyes at each other for like a half hour down the five. Now here's why the freeway vibe is real tense. But here's my question about this freeway vibe. On the freeway, you literally only have a few feet of road, but the ocean, she's vast. The ocean, as vast as she may be, happened to draw us close enough to each other to where the tension was real thick. You know, yeah. So anyways, after deciding I shouldn't say anything, that he's just a young kid. And he paddles over and he's like, hey, are you John from Switchfoot? And at that point, I'm really glad I didn't say anything. And he's like, I work for you. And I'm like, I'm thinking in my head, I can count on three fingers, people that could say that. And he's like, you know, Adam, the guy who does your website, I'm the guy who like helps him and do the online stuff. And so I'm like, that's amazing.
So that's our friendship. That's where it all began. Wait a minute. So you had not met before that moment? No, we hadn't met before that moment. But I'd been helping out with the web store that they had. Crazy. I think, how old was I then? Like 16 or 17? 16, I think. Yeah, like 16 or 17. I'd been helping out with that for like six months. My friend in high school was like, hey, my brother does his store for Switchfoot. He'll pay you $10 an hour. And being 16 years old, back then, minimum wage was like... six or something like that. So I was pretty wheeling. Was this just a brief conversation? I was like, oh, yeah. So, oh, really? Okay, cool. See ya. Or did you talk for a while? I think that was pretty much it. Yeah, then we ended up taking him out on tour and then kind of went from there. Okay. Now we got to understand how you took him out on tour because it went from, hey, this guy is hogging my waves to, hey, wait a minute. I work for you. Yeah. To, okay, cool. What happened in the in-between that got you even knowing that you did music? Yeah, well, at that point in time, I didn't do any music. How did we... I think that you guys were doing a show with, I think it was Louis XIV, and I had to come down and do something. I think we ended up hanging out there, and I just remember being like, at the same time, I was 16 or 17 then. How old are you now? I'm 26. Okay. And at the time, being like...
this is super weird because I expected to show up and like drop off whatever was there to drop off and then hang out like on the loading dock waiting for the show to be over. So Beautiful Letdown was out. Was that the only record? Yeah. Well, you had the indie stuff, yeah. But yeah, and then it was like the most welcoming thing ever was like I expected to be the 16-year-old kid who'd pissed him off a while before. Right. And be like, all right, dude, we'll see you in five hours. And then I think that night ended up going like... Just hanging out with all those dudes in the dressing room all night and being like, this is weird. I did not expect to show up and be so welcomed and then kind of just hit it off. And then from there... When did the music start? The music probably started... How long did it work for you guys? Almost three years? I think it started right around when that was done. Really? Yeah, so I was probably 22. And so you had known, obviously, that you can sing. You knew you were a good singer. Will you attest to the fact that I was not a good singer? He has actually come a long way. Really? Yeah. Believe it or not. Believe it or not, he's come a long way. It's really great. Because you know when your friend says, like I got a friend right now that is trying to get into comedy. Yeah. And he's one of the funniest guys I know. Yeah. But to say, I'm going to go and do this thing, that takes some guts. And so he's not inviting anyone. He's going and doing his thing. And that's kind of the way Radar did it, where he's like,
Every week he'd go and do open mics and he wouldn't tell anyone. He was like writing all these songs and wasn't telling anyone. And then finally he started to say, hey, you should come see me down at this coffee shop or this sort of thing. And were you like, what? Yeah, it was everyone that knew him. I didn't know you did this. I did the same thing with comedy. It's a good move. L.O.B. is a stand-up comic, and yeah, I mean, she knows how that goes. So you tell him, you say, hey, I'm a singer, and I know you didn't know that, and we've known each other for a while, but I'm a singer, and come see me sing. Yeah, basically. What are you doing Tuesday night? Yeah, so me and my wife went down and checked it out. It was awesome, you know? I think, like anyone, he's come a long way since then. It's been a long road. Have you personally mentored him? I mean, I think I just come over and listen to his songs. We just pass songs back and forth. He'll play me ideas he's been working on. I'll play him some stuff I've been working on. It's usually like we'll be going surfing or something like that, and he'll come over to pick me up, or I'll go over to pick him up, and somebody will be sitting there with a guitar, and then it's like, dude, check this out. I was doing this this morning.
I don't know. Crazy. You ever say like, open your diaphragm. Yeah. From here. Sing better. Yeah. Yeah. Like this. Like this. You should probably play the right chord. So how did the band come together? We're talking to the Howells. The Howells are in the studio with us right now. And John Foreman from Switchfoot. Who, they're buddies. So how did the band come together? I think I figured out. after not too long that I was not very good on my own. And I needed to be able to hide behind some other instruments. And so I enlisted the only drummer I knew, because drummers are pretty hard to come by. And we just kind of grew from there. Chris that's with us today, he's only actually been with the band for the last eight months. Really? But he's also probably one of the most integral pieces of the band. How did you find him? I think... We'd played shows with one of his other bands before and he was kind of friends with our bass player. It's pretty hodgepodge. Yeah, it's pretty hodgepodge. And it happens like that with bands a lot. Like, I played with these guys, I played with these guys. It kind of happens like that. So here's what we're going to do. Quick time out, come back, and you guys are going to sing for us and perform in here live. What song are you going to do? We're going to do a song called Atlantic.
Atlantic, and it plays well acoustically, and they're set up acoustically. They're going to play. It's kind of a fun morning, and so don't go anywhere. We'll be back. Be a part of the Mikey Show now.

I'm wearing Dockers right now. Oh, my God. On FM 94.9. The Howells are in the studio with us this morning. And as it turns out, we have a mutual friend in John Foreman who is a...
The lead singer of the band, Switchfoot, is in the studio. They told the story of how they met. They met in the ocean, surfing. And it's pretty cool stuff. I was asking them about etiquette. Surf etiquette is a big deal. Oh, yeah. And how it works and all of that stuff. And Jay was saying he found out something new just yesterday. Well, it's not new. She was making it up as she went along. She should maybe write her own book. What happened? She said that... We surfed with, there was a lady and this old guy surfing, and they were dropping in on us the whole time. But, you know, it was not a big deal. You know, I was like, I usually don't say anything unless it gets obnoxious. But my buddy finally bumped boards because, you know, whoever's closest to the crest of the wave, it's his wave. And he was already standing up. She jumped up on her board. After she'd done it a few times, he decided he was going to exchange a little paint with her, so he kind of bumped her a little bit. So she followed, when we were done, we were going to shore. She follows us to shore. We get out of the water. She comes, I never do this, but I'm going to tell you, you guys need to learn some etiquette. And I said, excuse me? I said, you jumped up on his wave. He was already standing. He was in the pocket. It was his wave. She's like, no, you take turns. No, you don't. Even I don't. I was like, I've never heard that before. I have no idea. She's like, well. You don't? No. I mean, sometimes there's 20 guys out there.
I used to feel, as a female, that can't keep up with the paddling. I used to be like, come on, give me one of them. And that is true. It's not etiquette. I do give waves. I won't paddle right back out to where it's hitting. I'll sit on the outside of it a little bit and let everybody get a turn. But then if you just don't take it, you don't get to keep going. So she's like, you know, you take turns. You don't take turns. And I was like, well. Tell that guy to 20 people I was surfing with yesterday, and you're all on. Hey, whose turn? Oh, it's 19. It's my go, I go. 19. 19. Hey, when you're out there and like me just learning how to do it, that's a lot to think about when you're out there. And I just always tried to go. I'll go to a break where the waves aren't as good, but there aren't as many people because I don't want to get stabbed. You know me. I will fist fight. I surf the internet. Yeah, you do. You're the Kelly Slater of internet surfing. I mean, like, really, I could compete. At a professional level. And I don't mean to boast. No. I'm just saying that when it comes to surfing the internet. You've seen it all. You've been conditioning for a while. I've been conditioning for a while. And it takes a lot. I mean, it takes a lot out of you. Stamina. Luckily, I have a very understanding wife who says, babe, I know it's your craft. I know it's your art. And I leave you to it. Follow your dreams. I follow my dreams. Focus. That's all I'm saying. Okay. So.
Lauren O'Brien actually asked a great question to John Foreman before we came back on. And because I have ADD, I have to hear more of it. And then we're going to hear a song from the house. But she asked you, do you get nervous when you play? And you said, not really. Not on stage. And you said, you get nervous in weird situations. And then we had to go back on the radio. And I'm like, what does that mean? Well, it's like anyone. where you get nervous when you're doing something you don't do normally. Right. And, like, for you, you wake up in the morning and you go on radio. Yeah. And that's normal. Yeah. So you don't get nervous for that. Yeah. That's just life. Yeah. And for me, like, you know, we've probably done, like, 2,000 shows, you know, at Switchfoot. So you don't get that nervous for that, but you get nervous and... other situations like i get nervous going on the radio like i'm thinking like oh man i gotta go on the only reason why i'm here is because i want to talk about the howls i'm like oh man anything for these guys it'll make you nervous sometimes i mean with you guys not so much yeah but like um because in here at all like i never think anyone i i imagine that it's just a room and there's no one else in it and the microphone just happens to be in front of me and that's how i've always just been able to be normal and so
I never think of it like people are listening to it. I know they are because they complain to me on Facebook. That's the only reason. But that's the only reason that I know that they're actually listening because they'll tell me that they're mad about something on Facebook or a message, my inbox on Facebook or occasionally the Mikey show dot com inbox. I'll get the thing there and I go. They're listening. Or they'll post like a picture of a turd and tag us in it. And tag us in it. And then I know, okay, which is always, you know, good for the self-esteem. Or like a big fat guy and they'll be like, hey, look, it's Mikey. What's at McDonald's? And they're eating again. And then I go, I'll say, oh, they're listening. Oh, thank goodness for them. What is this? So radio would be out of your element. How about, is there ever a time where you would be performing in something that's just out of your element? We have opened up for... Static X, we opened up for Napalm Death. Wow. Those are situations that I was a little nervous in. Yeah. But not nervous like that I was going to. Did it get weird? Yeah, one of them got weird. Which one? Which one? Napalm Death actually went over really well. No way. Those guys were really cool. Napalm Death went over good. That was good, yeah. For those of you that don't know what Napalm Death, it sounds like, it sounds like this. Yeah, it's Cookie Monster. It's identical. Cookie Monster. They were, they were.
You know, definitely, like, that's heritage heavy stuff. Oh, yeah. But Static X was, it was Hulk Hogan and his daughter introduced us with a bunch of, like, scantily clad women. Who hasn't said those exact words? They threw out all these Mardi Gras beads to the crowd. Oh, no. Who at that point was extremely inebriated. Yeah. And so now they have all these things in their hands that they don't really want in their hands. Weapons. They're weapons, yeah. They hurt, too. So they start throwing these Mardi Gras beads at us, and we're like, oh, Hulk, come back. Please, Hulk. Please. Or your daughter. In their drunk head, they're like, yeah, we're gonna live! Mardi Gras! Just like Mardi Gras. So then they had glass bottles. And a couple of those start finding their way to the stage. What city? This was in... Florida, right? Ybor City. You nailed it. Florida. Yeah. No way. They called Guavaween. As soon as you said they were throwing glass bottles, I was like, Florida. Yeah, and they threw them at Static X, too. So it was just like...
Maybe it means they love you. Maybe that's the way that they say we love y'all. I think it is. But I was like literally climbing the scaffolding. And at that point, I'm like, now I'm getting nervous. So did you guys open with On Fire? Yeah. We're playing like. 24. Yeah. 24. 24. Yeah. The heaviest stuff we've got. We're like, this is, this sounds like. We sound... Do you have anything? Do we have any Slayer cover? Yeah. You should have just done that. Yeah. Yeah. That's crazy. That's nutty. All right. Well, John Foreman came in. The Howells came in. And we are about... Every time I see the harmonica thing go on... I love it. I know... I'm going to love it. You're going to love it. These guys, if I could just pump them up, just shut your ears for a second. They're one of my favorite bands in San Diego. Me too. And I feel like, you know, everyone who's listening right now is in for a treat. Absolutely. Let me tell people too, thehowls.com and the CD is Rocky Ground. What's the release date on it? January 27. Yeah, 27. 27. January 27. They're doing a CD release at the Casbah. All right.
And the song that you're doing is called Atlantic? Yes, sir. Wait a minute. I can't hear him in here. I can't hear him. Can you test that mic? Yo. And play just for a second. It's not coming. I don't think it's coming through here. Nope. I hear the guitar in the headphones, not the vocals. I don't hear anything. Yeah, it's not coming through. Is it something here? I thought maybe it was something there. It's bused in. Program world beat. And this doesn't have anything to do with anything? It's the real behind the scenes. This is it. I never knew radio could be so good. I know. It's like icing the kicker. That's exactly right. Time out. Let's see how good he is now. Let's see how good this kid is. It's all right. Is that... Oh, man. I know. It's coming through cue perfectly. But we could still... You could still kind of hear it. Should we have him come over here? Come over here. Yeah, yeah. Let's do that. There you go.
Plug this guy. Good mics. There you go. Perfect. I need all the help I can get. That sounds good. That sounds real good. Yep. All right. Well, looking at the tent is a black and cloudy man. And now there are so many things that I wish that I had said. See your eyes crying bloodshot in red. But oh. Well, thunder and lightning will never take you from out. No, thunder and lightning will never take you from out. For every eye you see be a mountain that you climb. Well, every man you kiss will be alive. Well, they call it the Atlantic, and I call it black and blue. Oh, honey, how I miss you.
That sounded great. That sounded great. I love that so much. There's so much talent in this city, man. There is a lot of talent. You know what I love in hearing you play is laying claim, like being able to go, yeah, they're from San Diego. How do you like that? And they're on our show. Yeah, that's right. It's good stuff, dude. Thank you very much. So the CD is called Rocky Ground, and it comes out January 27th. Yes, sir.
You can go to thehowls.com. And the CD release party is going to be at the Casbah on the 27th. That's a Friday night. That's a Friday night. We'll be there. It's going to be fun. Actually, we have Sarah Watkins is coming down. She's going to sit in with us on a few songs. Play the fiddle? Yeah, she's going to play some fiddle. If I can coach her into singing a little bit, I might try and do it. Awesome. So you guys were saying that you will... Every once in a while, you will use John to be a sounding board for you. Oh, yeah. So you'll say, hey, what do you think about this? Does he ever, does John go, try this, try this kind of thing? Yeah, totally. Like, I usually have to pull it out of him. Yeah. I'll be like, hey, what do you think about this chorus? Are you got any ideas or stuff like that? Or he'll just be like, eh, it's not your best work. Yeah. I love it. You know what? I totally appreciate that. Because it's like for, I can't remember. I think it was Dylan said for every hundred songs you write, you get one good one. I was going to ask you if you had some Dylan influence. A little bit. Yeah, I can tell. I always really look forward to getting home because I got a great wife. But she'll also, we have a role with each other. She's real honest with me. So if I go, did that suck?
She'll go, that wasn't your best work. Same exact thing. And you need that. Oh, totally. Has he ever played anything for you and asked you, hey, what do you think about this? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, like he was saying before, we kind of bounce stuff off of each other all the time. So do you say that's just not your best work, John? I don't know if I'm usually that bold, but I'll be like, what else you got? He's like, how's... How's your Grammy? Is it good? Is it good? Are you good? How's your Grammy? How's your Grammy? Do you want anything out of the kitchen? I'm not talking about your grandmother, pal. I'm talking about your Grammy Award. Okay? All right? Exactly. That's got to be. That's kind of the one where you're like. Oh, man, how do I say this without coming off as the dude who's like, well, my song was good, but the one he played. Hey, John, you want that, though, right? You want him to be honest. Oh, yeah. You want him to be honest. I will say this. As long as I'm being honest. No, I will say this. It's pretty darn rare that he'll show me anything and I won't be like, oh, wow. You know, like blown away. Yeah. Or just like, I wish I had thought of that. Yeah. You know?
When you're writing a song, do you ever have the audience in mind or is it all about whatever the topic is? You know what? That's kind of the coolest thing about music to me. It's like we were talking about comedy before. The comedy is purely based off of connecting with an audience. Whereas if you're having a bad night in comedy and nobody's connecting, it's just a train wreck and there's not really much you can do about it. It's all that bombing. The reason that I play music is just because it's a great way to process feelings or situations or emotions. Like the song that you just played. When you wrote that, what was going on? Man, that song's tough. The whole record, it's called Rocky Ground. based on just like a really long relationship with essentially my best friend that ended up on some real real rocky ground and it's uh the record's pretty pretty honest and pretty open about everything sometimes maybe a little bit too honest and too open but yeah that song um i actually wrote after the rest of the record kind of looking back on it because if you listen to the record there's a lot of stuff where it's like um you know some stuff hit the fan
And so there's songs from like a day after like that hit the fan. And then there's songs from like six months later where you're kind of processing everything where it's like, I'm not just super angry anymore. Right. I'm kind of confused. And that song's, you know, the first the first line is like looking at the tent is a black eye and a cloudy mind where it's kind of looking back over the last year, like and all the other songs on the record and kind of just everything that had happened and reassessing it and being like, how do I you know, how do I feel about all this? And, you know, that's. There are similarities, believe it or not, in what you do and what we do. And one of the similarities is that in order to be successful, sometimes you have to put your guts out there. Oh, yeah. And so my question is something that comes from my own experience, which is, do you ever trip out that you're letting everybody know? What you I mean, because you're basically you're opening up your guts and going, hey, this is exactly who I am. You know, I think that I've made a fool of myself enough times to where I'm not real worried about like myself. I'm more worried about kind of just the other people involved, you know, because it's like anything that I say, like I'll have to answer for. But it's kind of like.
I kind of try and toe a line sometimes of making sure that I don't throw somebody under the bus too hard because the chances are they won't have a chance to defend themselves or answer for themselves. Yeah, I take a lot of grief from my wife when I get home some days. She's like, how could you say that about me? It was just a bit, babe. It was funny. It was really funny. Trying not to have any surprises out on stage. You're like, oh. Yeah. They know about that. So when will people be able to see you? Because I know the record's coming out on January 27th. Will you guys be playing before then? We're not playing before then. It's not tomorrow, but the Friday after that at the Casbah. I think, I know there's still tickets left, but I also know they said they were selling pretty well. Excellent. Oh, good. So, yeah, hopefully, I mean, people can go to, we have a free download at thehowls.bandcamp.com. Right on. So you can go there and pull that down. Try and learn to sing along. Yep. It's going to be a Friday night, January 27th at the Casbah that they release it. And I instantly loved that music. Thank you very much. Buy that record, man. The record is these guys were nice enough to send it to me a while ago. And I've had it and I've been listening to it. And it's freaking phenomenal. Woods, because a lot of times Woods and I, we either really love the same thing or we don't. Yep. And you know when I'm going to like something. Oh, yeah. I know.
And he knew. And you were right. We got lucky. I liked it right away. And then we played a song from the Howells today called Wait, which was great. Oh, it's so good. Really, really good. Tom Petty ripoff? It just sticks in your brain all freaking day. I'm humming it right now. I've been singing it all day. All right. So before we go into the break, I have another question for John Foreman. John? Yeah. I don't want you to feel... Today's the Howl's Day, and I know that. And just to distinguish between the two of us on tour, since we already had a Cooper, and we had a couple Johns, this was Radar. Radar. Yeah, I was going to ask you, why Radar? Radar, anytime you want. Why Radar? Because it's a palindrome. Yeah. You can spell it the same for him. It's like race car. Or Hannah. Yeah, exactly. And so he just became Radar. He was Radar. How long has he been Radar? like, eight years now? Yeah, pretty much. It's funny, because at this point, like, if he ever calls me by, like, John or calls me Cooper, yeah, seriously, it's like when your parent says your middle name and you're like, oh my gosh, what did I do? You're in trouble. You're only radar. Yeah, pretty much. Are you radar to anybody else or just to John? It's pretty much just to these guys, and then there'll be, like, the one random person that, like, somehow picks it up somewhere where it's like, I only see him, like, once every eight months, but for some reason... Well, you know you're going to be radar here forever. Yeah, you're radar from the house. Yeah.
That's me. You're bumping to me around town. Radar! Radar! So, John, the reason I got to ask you this, because the records, you got a new record out, and it's not exactly new, but it's new-ish, and so it would be weird if I didn't ask you stuff about it, because I want to know some stuff about this new record. You guys toured, and is the tour done, or are you guys still touring? No, we're home for a little bit, and... We're going out to Australia, then do another U.S. tour, and then go back to the U.K. So I think probably wrap up stuff for this record maybe next fall type of thing. What a cool thing. I mean, you probably never would have thought when you were a kid, like, this would be your job. No way. What a cool job. It is amazing. I mean, it's, for me, like, to be able to make music. have people that actually want to hear it is the best job in the world. And, you know, like what Radar was saying, to be honest, to be able to be honest for a living. Yeah. It's pretty amazing. And same thing, you know, like, and I'm going to ask you a question about this record, but I love to ask you questions about the songs because, man, they get me. And Woods, you know, the songs just connect so much. The last album, the song Always,
I love that song. It's so brilliant. I've cried pounds and pounds of tears. It's a weight loss program. It is. I've lost 20 pounds by listening to the song Always. Have you? Hey, if you're losing weight, it ain't showing, Matt. Mike, maybe you listen to that song a little more. Look at how fat you are. Look at how fat you are. Mike, when you get home today, maybe you put Always On about eight or nine times in a row on Luke. I got an idea. Just make a playlist on your iPod mic with one song. Always. Listen to it while you sleep, while you eat, when you get up. Just never take it off. Are you sure you have the headphones in? Mike, maybe you ain't hearing it, Mike. It's called Always. Always. Always. It's called Always. Okay, so I have a question about a song on the new record. Yeah. Are you cool telling people what you were thinking about when you wrote it? I've never been cool, but I will absolutely tell people what I've thought about. Where I belong. Yeah. What was going on? We were finishing the record at that point, and one of my best, like, inspiration, kind of a mentor for me, that I really look to.
as far as production and stuff is this guy mike elizondo um oh yeah he produced did he do something with fiona apple he's done fiona apple he's um done a bunch of stuff with dr dre and he's good dude he's amazing he's an incredible musician and so um and he's worked with us on our last two records kind of just like um uh executive producing and and um He's amazing with songs. He's a great musician, too. Yeah, and just fun to be with. And so my brother and I went up to his place to hang out near the end of the record and just write and just kind of think, what is the last song we want to put on the record? And I remember just thinking, well, what about writing the last song that you would ever want to sing? Like, the day you die, what's the song you want to sing? Really? Yeah. So that was where that came from, like the idea of like, well, everything comes to an end. What do you want to say? Wow. That's awesome. And how long did it take you to write? I don't know why that fascinates me, but how long? Because you don't do it. That's why. Because I don't do it. I'm the same way. I don't do it, and that's why it fascinates me. How long did it take you to write it? Well, every morning I usually try and walk, clear my head, and I was walking around.
I probably look like I'm crazy when I'm doing it. There's a song in your head and you're talking to yourself. And so I remember I put down all these ideas on my phone of thoughts. And so I went back and listened to those and kind of cherry-picked my favorite ideas of that concept. And so the final writing... It didn't take very long. When you have a concrete idea of what you want to say, I'm sure it's like anything where you just try and be as honest as you can and you spit it out in a way that feels eloquent. And, you know, the best songs I've always said are like archaeology. Yeah. Where you just start digging. And you discover this city that's already there. And you don't have to touch it. You're just digging. You know what I mean? Oh, that's killer. So for me, that song was kind of this. The city that already existed. Okay, I'll play it. Fine. Stop asking, John. John, okay. And by the way, okay, so the reason that today even came about was the band The Howl's coming in, and I want to thank you guys for coming in. And I want to remind people to go to thehowls.com. And to the...
CD release party. CD release party is on January 27th, Friday night. Nobody has an excuse not to be there, including myself. I will be there. And it's at the Casbah. And the new CD is called Rocky Ground. And because I love this song, I'm going to play this song. Is it okay? I'd be honored. Here we go.

I saw that. 130 years they've been in the... How is that even possible? The pitcher business. Wow. I know it. I'll tell you how it's possible because they were late getting in on stuff like digital cameras. They were late and they were like, this will never last. This will never last. Like Blockbuster. Snooze, you lose. 15 years ago.
Their market value was $31 billion, and now it is below $150 million. Shocking. Yeah, man. It is shocking. And the cowardly captain. It's not going to stick. It's sticking with me. It's not going to stick. The captain of the cruise ship, you know, the cowardly captain. It's not going to stick. No, nobody calls him that. He got into a life raft, lifeboat. Because he's a cowardly captain. Well, he's given an explanation as to why. Oh, what happened? He said that he accidentally tripped. And by the way, I'm not kidding. Don't just don't. You're not the onion over there. I know. I'm not creating this. This is a true thing. What? He said that he tripped and fell into the lifeboat. He didn't say that. As it was being lowered, and he couldn't get back on board. Dang it. My gosh. Don't you hate it when that happens? He had no intention of escaping. He said, I was helping some passengers. Oh, my gosh. Put a lifeboat to sea, and at a certain point, the mechanism for lowering it blocked. We had to force it. I hate that.
Suddenly, the system, she unblocked herself. Oh, no. And I tripped and found myself inside the lifeboat with a number of passengers. Who does he think we are? Yeah. Does he think we were born yesterday? He just fell off the truck. Will they back him up, you know, the passengers that were in the boat? Yeah, I'm sure. That's the way it happened. Oh, yeah, he totally did. He tripped. I think there's a couple YouTube videos of what happened as well. Yeah, I think there's YouTube videos of him being just a cowardly captain. There was actually, you guys, in his defense, there was a banana peel right next to that line. Don't you dare. You can't overlook that. Somebody had just swabbed the decks. With pellet. Well, and then he, like, got a hold of himself, and then there was an oil slick. Yeah, there was an oil slick. Yeah. There's, like, all these things. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then I heard there was a block of ice that he was trying to walk across, too. Yes, yeah. Poor fella. And then there was a root sticking up. That's true. So he just, you know. That happens. Trippin'.
