So, the story is that former mega athlete Bo Jackson has had the hiccups for months now. The question this morning is how do you get rid of your hiccups? That's what The Mike & Carla Morning Show wanted to know. Now, Bo says he has tried everything, including smelling the butte or a porcupine! Not sure if that is a scientific method, but at some point you have to think what the heck!

People have tried to scare him, he's drank lots of water and more, but nothing worked, Now it will all come down to a medical procedure he is hoping will cure him. However, a lot of M&C listeners had their own remedies. The best one might be from our own Carla Rea...and her partner Angie! Pull down on your ears, then with your mouth, grab a bottle of water and drink! It may or may not work, but it's fun to watch!

One remedy that got a lot of votes was from a listener by the name of Sarah. We should have been suspicious when we found out he heard about this remedy on the game show "Hollywood Squares!" Ask to see someone's tongue, then without them know it, grab it and yank on it. Again, not sure if this actually works, but would be fun to watch! Have you ever tried to grab your own tongue?

One seemingly sensible way was given to us by Jennifer. Being at a local CVS store, she saw "Hiccup Pops". Seemed harmless enough, although she says she's never tried them, but seem better than grabbing your tongue!

All in all, it was interesting all the different remedies for curing hiccups. Here's to Bo Jackson on getting help and if you ever get them, feel free to try any one of these suggestions. Oh, and don't think there are more in the segment below.
