The Mike and Tony Show

It's Friday night, we ain't got shit to do, and neither do you. Mike turns a random dinner stop into a $15 trivia payday on pop culture alone, which leads us to Ken Jennings going from software engineer to Jeopardy royalty, and to the rare tinnitus that turns into music you can control. Free Spotify in your skull, but you might be stuck on Chumbawamba forever. We take a smoky trip down memory lane: grandparents who chain-smoked with the windows up, a garage full of black widows that was somehow the better option, China's state-owned tobacco monopoly, and a roll call of dead cigarette brands (RIP Merit). Then we cover energy drinks, which go all the way back to 1962.

Then things get dark. Mike introduces Shiloh, the 50-foot gorilla who eats kids who get out of bed and who definitely ate the family dog through the front window. We confess the dumbest lies we've told our kids, cover a woman with worms laying eggs in her brain, watch a toenail with a surprise tenant, and diagnose Tony with trypophobia live on air. Plus a lottery winner who went right back to work after lunch, and the Albany guy who skipped the office pool the one week it hit $319 million.

Don't get out of bed. Shiloh has cameras everywhere.

Cheers!

It's another Friday night in the studio, and we’re back with the energy of two guys creeping toward 50 who have opinions. We kick things off with a surprise doctorate announcement, a real-life medical doctor who quit medicine to teach middle school, and the agreed-upon fact that med school is basically Navy SEAL training for academics.

From there it's a full spiral. Cable went from $300 a month to a dozen streaming subscriptions that somehow cost the same, and now the football game is on Netflix. What is happening? Then: are GLP-1s a miracle or a future broken hip? (Do your squats, boys.) And the plan to live to 375 as a RoboCop with a well-preserved brain.

Then the hood pops open. Why gas smells like childhood, why electric cars have to make noise (Tony’s niece sounds like a UFO pulling up), dream rides from a 1970 Buick GSX to Marty McFly's Toyota truck, the slammed mini-truck magazines of our youth, and one mechanic who charged $300 to "program" a part by clicking a button. Calculus, it was not.

Also, we're closing in on Episode 300, and Spotify may start deleting episode one at 301. Honestly? A public service.

All this and more on another episode of your two favorite regular-ass dudes just talking about life.

Cheers!

It's another Friday night, and the boys are dragging themselves out of a brutal 4-day work week to bring you an episode. Tony's eye is puffed up from allergies like he just went 3 rounds in a boxing match, and he's still rocking the massive knee brace that screams "old man status." Mark the Couch Guy thinks Tony should just get it "zapped" by his "guy" for $49.99 — no notes, no follow-up questions. Meanwhile, Mike can't stop staring at Tony's pale white legs, which apparently make the knee brace look like a headlight lighting the way forward.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, and we really get into it — both guys share exactly where they were and what they were doing when it happened. Spoiler alert: they were both asleep. From there we slide into conspiracy theory territory with the Candace Owens-led charge around Charlie Kirk's death (which, wild to think, happened almost exactly a year ago), then on to Flock cameras, how unrecognizable the post-9/11 world has become, Tony's hot take on chiropractors, and the special kind of madness that drives adrenaline junkies like climbers.

All this and more on another episode of your two favorite regular-ass dudes just talking some shit.

Cheers!

We’re back! After an unexpected two-week hiatus—courtesy of Tony’s laptop getting absolutely wrecked at Back to School Night—the boys are back in the studio and we have some serious catching up to do.

First up: Tony somehow survived an e-bike wipeout at 24 MPH after a near-miss with a senior citizen absolutely flying in a golf cart. (Yes, really). Meanwhile, Mike is out here talking motorcycles, despite being a total speed demon who probably shouldn't be allowed near one.

We also dive into:

Why Cali might actually be tougher than Mike.

Mike dominating Couch Guy in Fantasy Football.

Tony finally finishing Game of Thrones (only a few years late).

The devastating history of the Thailand tsunami and recent floods in Nepal.

The real truth about public school curricula as Tony puts on his educator hat.

Oh, and Tony is now running an Esports club despite being the only guy in his friend group who doesn't play video games. If you know how to help him, please email us before he accidentally deletes a server.

It’s a wild, chaotic catch-up session. Hit play and let's get into it!

Cheers!

Only 10 away from the big 3-0-0! This week our very own Mark the Couch Guy finally makes his triumphant return (gout-knee, and all) as Tony and Mike dive into a genuinely unhinged round of hypotheticals: which kitchen appliance are you, who dies first in a horror movie, and what terrible tattoo does each of us deserve? Along the way: Tony breaks down his new "not-leadership" role at school (he swears), the guys debate whether Thanos or Magneto had the better argument, build out an entire criminal gun-running enterprise (Tony's the accountant, he doesn't know), argue about Ozempic and bone density, and reveal who's cracking first if the cops ever raid the podcast room. Also featuring: nail clipper trauma, nostalgic movie trios, and a professional case for why AI is going to end us all. Rate us five stars — or the gout is voodoo'd onto you. Buckle up for this one… you definitely need a seatbelt.

Cheers!

No guest, no filter. Tony's back to work, but that doesn't stop him and Mike from diving deep into Spider-Man: Brand New Day (great flick, wild ending) and roasting Ghost Rider on the ride home. They mourn the death of the American mall — RIP Orange Julius and Mrs. Fields — and reminisce about big ass console TVs with knobs that just... fell off. Mike hits ThriftCon Denver and comes back with vintage Starter jackets worth way more than he paid (sorry to the guy who sold him that Bulls pullover for $40). Plus: the incredible Arnel Pineda/Journey story, Lil Wayne's suspiciously jacked physique, and a round of questions that reveals Tony's butt tongue talent, his ketchup-on-corned-beef crime, and exactly what he'd do with $10 million in 24 hours. Zombie apocalypse survival plans included; glasses-wearers need not apply. Buckle up and come along for the ride.

Cheers!

Tyler Stanfield is BACK after a 2-year hiatus, and he's not the same man — 26 days sober, doing 500 crunches a day against his own will, and somehow still finding time to almost get inducted into a Colorado Music Hall of Fame before getting disqualified for playing too much No Diggity at a country show. We cover wind vs. geese (wind sucks, geese are just rude), the greatest Chris Farley office story never properly told on a podcast before, a fish that flips off two grown men after faking its own death, and finally answer the age-old question: if Tony got fired from this show and replaced by Tyler, would Pearce and Tyler still record the show in Tony’s house? Awkward. Also: pterodactyls, sweaty balls, and a bathroom sign that might change Tony’s marriage. Lots of laughs and ridiculous stories. Just two regular dudes and their singer/songwriter friend.

Cheers!

This week, Mike and Tony sit down for a Friday night podcast with rapper, bassist, songwriter, frontman, educator, fashion maverick, and free thinker, Avery Jacob! Avery returns for his 4th (or 5th?) appearance, and we cover a lot of ground on this one. We get into AI music — Suno, stolen beats, an AI R&B liver commercial that may or may not be racist, and a viral "AI song" that turned out to be a human cover of an AI song (yes, really). We also covered comedy that dabbles in politics, hay allergies, strongman bellies, Martin Luther's surprisingly unhinged side, and Avery’s “what Jesus would look like if he dressed fly” approach to fashion. Come for the culture talk, stay for the "come on, man" method. It works. Come on in and join us!

Cheers,

This week Mike runs us through a wild true story: his brother stole his identity, racked up warrants in multiple counties, and got Baron Von Pearce arrested for crimes he didn't commit — plus the decade-long family fallout that followed. Then we dive into deep weird science territory: water that boils and freezes at the same time, electric eels that can shock alligators to death, 30-foot anacondas, and a woman who cured her Lyme disease by getting swarmed by bees. We also get into bee vibration therapy, radium glassware that glows under UV light, the Mongols catapulting plague corpses over city walls, and why 1 in 200 men alive today shares DNA with Genghis Khan. Fact or Fiction and Would You Rather close us out. Grab a drink (or whatever consumable you prefer) and settle in. This one was an adventure!

Cheers!Y

Friday night podcast! Tesla was out there loving a pigeon more than he ever loved a human being, Wyoming threatened to skip statehood entirely over women's right to vote, and a Pope literally declared war on cats (spoiler: it goes badly for everyone, except for the rats). Mike and Tony revisit the 1518 dancing plague nobody could stop, the Roswell "weather balloon" that definitely wasn't just a weather balloon, and the time the U.S. Army blasted Guns N' Roses at a dictator for ten straight days until he gave up. Also featured: a beached whale that turned into a public safety hazard, Andrew Jackson's parrot getting kicked out of his own funeral for cursing, and a "Would You Rather" round that gets uncomfortably existential fast. Come on in and join us!

Cheers!
