Michael Dwight Catherwood (born 15 March 1979), known by his radio name Psycho Mike, is an American radio personality. He is known primarily for his work at KROQ-FM on Kevin and Bean and most recently as the co-host of Loveline.^[1].

Early Life[link]

Catherwood was born in Los Angeles to an Irish-American father (Dwight) and Mexican-American mother (Rachel). He has revealed very little about his childhood other than he grew up in the LA area around San Marino. His teenage years were the start of his problems with substance abuse, as he began drinking at an early age. When he was older, traveled across the US to New Jersey were he attended Rutgers University but was unable to complete his first year due to his problems with substance abuse, including crack cocaine, LSD, ecstasy, meth and alcohol, as well as abuse of anabolic steroids. He initially sought treatment in Minnesota at the Hazelden Foundation, but was unable to complete the program. He later moved back to LA to start a career in music with a heavy metal band, but his drug use continued to be a problem. Eventually he went for treatment at Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena where he met with greater success. During this time in his recovery, he started a career in radio and personal training. He has been sober from drugs and alcohol since 2002.

He describes himself as a Catholic, having been raised as one and also attending mass on a somewhat regular basis in Santa Monica. However, he openly admits he does not adhere to or agree with many of the Church's official stances, particularly those related to sexuality and sexual orientation.

Radio[link]

Kevin & Bean Show[link]

Catherwood was the assistant producer for the Kevin and Bean show, and frequently stars in man-on-the-street segments as well as parodies of most commercial songs which generally involve crude themes. Catherwood is also an amateur body builder and a certified personal trainer and has appeared in several segments educating listeners about exercise and nutrition.

He is known for performing many vocal impersonations, including Gene Simmons, K-Fed, Spencer Pratt, Manny Ramirez, Lamar Odom, Antonio Villaraigosa, Tom DeLonge, Adam Carolla, and Anthony Kiedis, as well as a character of his own invention named "Rudy," a stereotypical heavy-accented cholo ex-con with a penchant for marijuana and manscaping.^[2][3] Another character he made up was "Sven," a Nordic Viking of the disco.

In June 2007, he created a KROQ sensation, a parody of the Plain White T's song "Hey There Delilah" called "Hey There Vagina." The song was the most requested song on the station for a week until station lawyers quashed it, claiming it was "indecent."^[4] The station also pulled its own link to the song.^[5]

Loveline[link]

On March 21, 2010, he was permanently hired as the co-host of the national call-in radio show Loveline, with physician host Dr. Drew Pinsky. Catherwood frequently draws on his own past experience as a drug addict^[6] to educate and confront callers on the subject of substance abuse.^[7]
