Mic Warning

Derek and Keelan spiral through life’s problems: a guy setting alarms every ten minutes at 3:30 AM, why breakfast is a scam, the truth about toaster settings, fast-food nostalgia, and gaming rabbit holes. Everyday chaos, served warm.

Welcome back to another episode of Mic Warning.

Keelan and Derek drift through their usual mix of nonsense and half serious debates, with a quick detour into trademarked phrases. We get into why people try to lock down random sayings, what actually counts, what doesn’t, and we end up laughing at how ridiculous the whole thing is. The rest is just the standard chaos you expect from us: real conversation, dumb jokes, and the occasional half sensible thought when we aren’t derailing each other.

Birthday episodes usually fall apart fast, and this one doesn’t disappoint. We kick things off with a chaotic birthday message from Keelan's cousin, which somehow snowballs into morning disasters, questionable grooming habits, and a heated debate about shaving with bar soap like it’s 1994.

The boys take a trip to the Republic Room. Fan call-outs, the first official Hot Turkey, and the usual chaos of multiple conversations that somehow lead nowhere. Exactly as planned.

This week’s episode is a reminder that life isn’t just about hitting goals. As we head into 2026, we talk about enjoying the process, reflecting on the holidays, family time, and why self-improvement shouldn’t feel like a checklist.

It’s Christmas week, so from Keelan and Derek, thank you to everyone who supported the show this year. We’re out of Fridays for 2025, but we’ll see you again in 2026.

Three months on Spotify already. Thanks to everyone who’s listened, shared, and stuck around. Mic Warning wouldn’t be a thing without you.

Podcasting isn’t just talking into microphones. It’s figuring things out as you go. This episode opens with Derek and Keelan joking about recording setups, audio quality, and the usual behind-the-scenes chaos.

The podcast journey continues with a broader discussion on jobs that seem outrageous or shouldn't exist. Derek and Keelan engage in light-hearted banter, reflecting on their own experiences and the absurdity of certain professions. They reminisce about a time when they discussed the idea of making money through unconventional means, such as taking pictures of their feet for OnlyFans. The humor adds a relatable touch, making the audience reflect on the lengths people go for a paycheck.

During our last recording, we encountered a significant technical issue that left us wondering just how much content we had lost. This moment of panic reminded us that mistakes happen, even to the best of us. As we reflect on this, it’s clear that embracing these blunders is essential to our growth as podcasters. We acknowledged our error with humor, stating, "Okay, so yeah. We f***ed up. No, that's not that's not true. The recording got f***ed up."

Derek and Keelan are camped out in Keelan’s living room today, serving up more laughs and idiocy. They dive into beaches, Banff, wild animals, and soup. It’s chaos, but cozy. Cheers.
