Yeah this has got to be our strangest topic ever. 32 Mike or Michaels, with 4 on the panel. Damon (Mike) Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Michael Felsher, Mike Diskin and Mike Patanjo discuss the BEST MIKE (OR MICHAEL). Who came up with this? Seriously has anyone ever had this discussion. Has anyone ever asked "Hmm I wonder who the best guy named Mike is?" Do you realize it's consistently one of the top male names in the U.S. It was number one from 1961 to 1998. then it dropped to number 2 from 1999 to 2008 after Jacob. It dropped out of the top 5 only in 2012 for the first time since 1948. It's a common name so it's no wonder there are a lot on our show, and a lot in popular culture. A lot more than Jayden will be, or Noah, seriously how did they bump Michael out of the top 5. Parents are stupid these days. Here are the brackets: PDF and Excel format.
