I like Mike because he is so "real". He does know a lot of stuff and he is funny!

i'm sorry mike, but it is just as i supspected all along...pashman is so quick in his seat, linguistically articulate and smart.........and adorable (not that that counts on the radio), however in this day and age of
video tubing perhaps it does...THAT, i think the least mike should do is share...didn't we learn that in Kinder class!? or, have a contest and let the "viewers" decide!!! perhaps this is an unfriendly idea...if so, go back to share and share the "MIC".

"The difference is that pegasus never existed where as unicorns, they're extinct."
Are you sure it is not the other way around?

To misquote Tobias from "Arrested Development," that Mike is some kind of something.

Nancy Grace has my vote as well, but then again...

More suited for ESPN not NPR

Hailing from the rough streets of Oceanside, Long Island, Pesca's witty, cutting-edge humor was then fine-tuned in the back country at Camp Lokanda in Glen Spey, NY as the winning Color War General for the Red Team back in '91 and lead disc jockey for WLOK. His attire, courtesy of Monarch Towel Co. out of Perch Amboy, New Jersey. Against some early setbacks related to name-calling, chair throwing and a perpetual knee strain, Pesca has faced adversity and now shines above the rest. The kid's got talent, class, sophistication and a boy named Milo. What a story, what a legend.
