The Mac and Mike Show

rom his many alter egos to perhaps the greatest final album ever, it was never dull being a David Bowie fan. For the last episode of season 5, Mac & Mike take a look at the life and times of the rock and roll hall of famer. The boys discuss the music, movies, hair, and controversies of Bowie, as well as a memorable 1990 concert. 

A special shoutout to producer extraordinaire Brian Ham, who is leaving the Saudi desert - and the podcast - to reacquaint himself with the Canadian winters. Thanks Hammer, it’s been a blast!

In a case of it’s better (extremely) late than never, Mac & Mike present their third annual Oscar Night At the Movies. For the latest instalment, the boys look at the late, great Rob Reiner’s directorial debut, a mockumentary about a fading British rock band trying to recapture past glory. It’s all here, from great quotes and cameos to the killer soundtrack. So sit back, put it up to 11, and enjoy!

Bobby Weir passed away in January at age 78, leaving behind a 60-year musical legacy. In this episode Mac & Mike tackle his complex history as the ultimate counterculture wingman. From backing up Jerry, dropping out with Ken Kesey, to jumping on the bus with roommate Neal Cassidy, Bobby was always near the center of the action. But was it actually Bob who was the main attraction? Was he the irreplaceable one in the end? Is his departure the end of the long strange trip? Mac & Mike discuss this as well as a recent John Mayer concert as they and many more hope the music never stops.

“if you want to be with the 1.3 billion dollar man, you gotta put up with the ghost of Linda.”

The Beatles are arguably the greatest band of all-time. But in 1970 the band broke up, and life went on. On the latest episode of The Mac & Mike Show, the boys discuss the second acts of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Special guest Patrick Menning returns to the podcast , and brings his guitar to the festivities.

After all this time, what more could possibly be said about John, Paul, George and Ringo? About an hour’s worth. Special guest Patrick Menning joins Mac & Mike for this historic 50th episode. Ladies and gentlemen, The Beatles!

Amazingly, it has been 45 years since the Red Hot Chili Peppers formed. In this latest edition of The Mac & Mike Show, the boys look back at the ups and downs of this influential band. Topics include the wild life of frontman Anthony Kiedis, some memorable film roles, and that Rolling Stone cover. Plus, Mac reminisces about a Lollapalooza show from the early ‘90s. As always, thanks for listening.
