If winning a chili cook off at work wasn’t enough last Friday, I went down to Hooley’s with Sherry and Joel to meet & greet my local comedy heroes. Since I missed The Mikey Show’s first event, I had to catch this one.

About a month ago the show did a random Your-Mama joke off and “Hoyle” said, “Your mama’s so fat she eats Wheat…Thicks.” That had to be the best one I’ve heard my whole life. I couldn’t help myself, so I made a logo, ironed it on to a shirt and wore it to the event. I thought I’d get a few chuckles but got a bigger reaction that I thought.

After asking Mikey to sign the shirt, he read it and freaked. He pulled Woods over and asked to get a picture immediately; the next thing I knew it felt like the whole bar was looking my way. It had to be the best, and most embarrassing, way for me to introduce myself. Every cast member is just as nice and funny as they are on air. If you’re from San Diego and haven’t heard them give a listen one morning at FM 94.9 (East Coast friends and family: stream it through their site). You’ll be happy you did.
