I just tried this in Apple's Notes app and it worked fine, though I had to turn up the brightness all of the way to see what I was doing through a sheet of paper.
It's not just that Mikey's voice is awesomer. It's his devil-may-care attitude. The perfect antidote to Neil's seriousness. :)

My fave this week: when Mikey breaks character during a promotional spot and says, "My cat is attacking my computer." And later comments, "That was a terrible piece of copy!"
