Looking for possible This Is That episode — Mike’s for the preservation of the name ‘Mike’

I remember hearing this on CBC Toronto sometime in 2013. It was this skit where they were interviewing some guy named Mike from the society of the preservation of the name ‘Mike’. I feel like it was satire, and most likely a This Is That episode, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve been looking for years now! Someone please help! lol

Wait, wait! I think I may have found it!

Was the piece in question titled "International Brotherhood of Mikes"?

If so, it wasn't on the show "This is That", a perfectly good guess, but on one of my favourite shows "The Story From Here" hosted by the wonderful Gloria Macarenko. The episode was broadcast on January 9, 2013. Listen to the following link starting at about 45:27 to hear it.

Here's a link to an archive of the, very funny, "This Is That" episodes. Maybe you will find it here?

Thanks Scoot! I just wish this had transcripts so I could more easily find it. This is definitely a huge lead though.
