We’re back with another wild and wonderful ride through the minds of Scott and Thad! Episode 222 kicks off with a fresh jam from Kyle Kinsey of Kyle and the 8 Minute Miles – the track “Head on Straight.” who is getting some radio play, and now it’s blessing your ears, podcast-style!

Fresh off a soul-fueling trip to 9 Mile, Jamaica, Thad shares stories from the island—local culture, farming traditions, and the warm embrace of a tourism-friendly community. With Andre (@aferrall73 on Instagram) leading the charge on exotic fruit knowledge, there’s a lot to learn about what grows—and thrives—in paradise.

Back in Florida, nature’s got its own storyline. From Vero Beach iguanas to South Florida lizards migrating north, Scott and Thad dive into how the changing climate is shifting our backyard wildlife.

After the break, Scott turns up the heat on some Orlando Magic talk with unique insights you won’t hear on mainstream sports shows. Basketball lovers, this one’s for you. Meanwhile, Blue, Loki, and Butters steal the spotlight with their epic podcast-side wrestling match.

PLUS: Updates from conservation hero Frank Robb (check out EEARSS.org) and a peek into Scott’s logistics work with fresh West Coast cherries—yes, it’s cherry season and we’re talking farm-to-fork like pros.

The post Episode #222 Nine Mile Jamaica Fruit, Friends & Farming appeared first on .

In this thought-provoking and wide-ranging episode, Thad and Scott dig into the dry, cracked heart of Florida’s Space Coast—talking about the lack of rain and what it’s doing to our gardens, minds, and moods.

Scott dives deep into some hot NBA talk, breaking down the big trade that sent Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic from the Grizzlies—what it means for the team.

We shift gears into deeper waters—literally—exploring how water shapes our planet and our understanding of change. From eroded coastlines to dried-out gardens, we reflect on nature’s power to mold everything in its path.

The episode closes with a heavy but honest conversation about the chaos unfolding across the world. We don’t pretend to have answers—but we see what’s happening, and we talk through it from the heart.

The message? Be kind. Be accepting. Spread good vibes.
There’s beauty in being present and loving when everything feels uncertain.

Music Vibes:

We open with “Complicated” by Kyle & the 8 Minute Miles—smooth, smart, and full of soul.

Break music is by Flagman Band, leading into a prank on our good friend Johnny. (Sorry not sorry, Johnny)

Big love to Quil Darling and Rudy for the continued creativity and good energy.

Be kind to each other out there. Be weird, be real, and keep adjusting the mic.

The post Episode #221 Garden of Heathens appeared first on .

The summer heat has arrived on Florida’s Space Coast, and Thad and Scott are feeling it. From parched gardens to failing ACs, the guys kick things off talking weather, rainwater collection, and a fan motor/capacitor crisis that leads Scott to a clutch save by ACE Hardware on US1 in Titusville.

Then it’s a deep dive into how convenience is reshaping the world around us — from the stuff we buy to the way we work. Are we losing our grip on quality and pride? Or is there a new kind of craftsmanship emerging in unexpected places?

After the break, powered by Lo Presher’s track “War,” the conversation gets global. With blackouts, border shifts, and rising tensions, the world feels unstable — but the call for leadership, resilience, and real connection has never been clearer.

Smart, grounded, and full of those “yeah, I feel that” moments.

The conversation turns heartfelt as Scott reflects on the journey—from hurricane-damaged Vibe Farmer Studios to where the community is now—and celebrates creators like Che and Frank Robb from EEARSS for their big-picture contributions. Scott gives a shoutout to Jaco from Divinci Tattoo in Titusville, FL on Garden St. Scott had his 5th sleeve session and all is going beautifully. Jaco is killing it on this piece!

We kick things off with a huge shoutout to Indian Sizzler on US1 in Titusville, right by the old Searstown Mall. If you know, you know—the food is 🔥, and the service is next-level. Big thanks to the amazing staff who make every visit something special. 🙌🍛

We check in on the ongoing Florida drought (it’s getting crispy out there) and pull some updates from the Florida Drought Monitor.

The post Episode #217 Adjusting Mics & Mindsets appeared first on .

Happy New Years everyone! 2025 he here and we are motivated to make it count. In this special episode, Scott takes a step back to reflect on the journey of Adjust the Mic—from its creation to the people who have shaped it along the way. He opens up about the evolution of the show, the connections made, the challenges faced, and the personal growth that has come with it.

This episode is different. It’s personal. It’s outside of Scott’s comfort zone (and, honestly, after listening back, he kinda hates it). But sometimes, stepping into discomfort leads to the best stories.

A big thanks to Thad for the gentle but persistent nudges to make this happen.

If you’ve been following the show for a while, this one’s for you. FYI MUCH was missed and not discussed. Look forward to reflecting with people on some of that content in future episodes. Thank you for everything!

Check it out if you’d like—no pressure, but we’d love to hear what you think!
