At first I was ambivalent toward Mikey, but then he did a bong hit on the air way back in his 105.3 days, and was forced to apologize. The apology was obviously written for him – he mispronounced several easy words, and for some reason that bugged me enough that I’ve been avoiding him ever since. I’m okay with people making significantly more money than me if they’re smarter and/or funnier than I am, otherwise, not.
