The Mike and Tony Show

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 we...

Tony's officially a two-week landscaping veteran (his retaining wall has notes), Mike survived a rugby crash course disguised as a 4th of July outing, and America's 250th birthday party pulled a crowd smaller than a Mike & Tony live show. From there, the guys spiral into full Mandela Effect mode (RIP Shoe Source), uncover the deeply unhinged true story of a Jameson whiskey heir with a cannibal...

Episode 283. It's a 1:30pm Saturday podcast and nobody's complaining. Tony and Mike recap the Dirty Heads at Red Rocks — including Sophia Lynn's live debut and the most trustworthy hat exchange in concert history — before diving deep into crazy history and science. A Polish bear who enlisted in WWII. A dead man who fooled Hitler. A woman in 1726 who allegedly gave birth to rabbits. A pope who wrot...

Mike catches a weight clip on chest day and lives to tell the tale (ego: not so much). Tony survives his first colonoscopy and somehow this leads to a conversation about the army that drunkenly wiped itself out in 1788. We break down Gaethje's brutal liver shot on Topuria, debate whether the government belongs anywhere near the UFC, and learn why hatters used to go insane (mercury, not millinery s...

Tony went fly fishing in Grand Junction and caught absolutely nothing. Mike went fly fishing at Deckers and caught a rainbow trout in the lip on his first real attempt. These are the facts. From there, things spiral: the Dirtyheads dropped a new album ( Seven Seas ), David Foral is hosting a pop-up at Federales, Elon Musk officially became the world's first trillionaire (SpaceX went public — congr...

Episode 280, baby — only 20 away from 300 and we're NOT slowing down. This week Mike and Tony go deep on gout (yes, gout), the genetics behind who gets it, and whether Couch Guy was always destined for the couch. Then it's a full breakdown of which sports actually produce the most elite athletes, a Nolan Ryan appreciation segment nobody asked for but everyone needed, and somehow we end up on Mike...

Tony's officially on summer break and his brain is already untethered. This week Mike and Tony cover the important stuff: fresh ink (Goku, no titties), dying languages held together by two people who refuse to speak to each other, a caterpillar wearing its victims like a Halloween costume, a mysterious metal orb that may or may not respond to Sanskrit, and the slow death of the National Enquirer —...

It's a rainy Friday in Colorado and Mike and Tony are in full "we needed the moisture" mode. This week the boys go deep on the invisible bee logistics network holding American agriculture together (yes, really), react to a robot getting its battery confiscated mid-flight, debate whether anyone actually needs a humanoid robot, and somehow end up on piranhas, flying fish, and the most cursed Olympic...

Cameron Schuyler is back and he brought receipts — poster drops, foil prints, a live canvas in progress, and a Red Rocks debut that's been years in the making. We talk live painting with The Elovaters, surviving 114-degree stages with Stick Figure (hand locked, one leg out, brush flung), monk seal territorial disputes in Hawaii, the dying art of festival live painting, reggae festival names that a...

It's a Saturday morning and Mike just got back from a presidential suite in Crested Butte while Denver panicked over a snow day that never showed up. This week Tony and Mike dive into wild science — a neon pink rainforest bug that transforms colors, coffee rewiring your gut bacteria (decaf included, so no excuses), and the five distinct eras your brain goes through — spoiler: you peaked at 32. We...

Episode 275 kicks off with Tony raw dogging the podcast (coffeelessly), a packed summer gig schedule, and a new song on the way. Then Mike and Tony take us on a tour of history's most unhinged verified moments — Napoleon getting mobbed by domesticated rabbits, London's 1858 Great Stink shutting down Parliament, a Kentucky meat shower courtesy of vomiting vultures, 13 Dublin legends dying from drin...

Your two favorite Denver dads stumble through a Friday night with no agenda and zero shame. Teachers are leaving the profession in droves, middle school smells might be the culprit, and Tony once had an accident in front of his entire third grade class because of one vindictive teacher. No really, he’s ok, we promise. Also on the docket this week: the golden orb mystery is finally solved (disappoi...

We're back, and this week we've got everything — a 295-million-year-old prehistoric butt, a zebra named Zeus who absolutely refuses to be anyone's livestock, and the official holiday we call “Blah Blah Day”. We also dig into a prediction market genius who made $300K betting on Biden pardons, and the glorious chaos of marshmallows raining from helicopters in Michigan. Then we get into the deep hist...

Meetings were invented to waste your time, and we are FINALLY talking about it. Mike and Tony kick off Episode 272 by reminiscing about their corporate-era fashion crimes — yes, we're talking pastel ties, aggressively baggy shirts, and dress codes so cursed they make The Office look like a runway show. Spoiler: once you go dress-code-free, there is no going back. None. Then we dive headfirst into...

Tony's sinuses are staging a revolt, but that's not stopping him from giving a full report on saunas, cold plunges, and the Rockies home opener — where the team was a disaster but the vibes were immaculate. We bond over our mutual hatred of wind, our increasingly unhinged hair situations, and the eternal question: who wears a random team jersey to a game?   We also revisited the wild full sto...

What do competitive eating, a headless chicken, and a Soviet-era plan to nuke the moon have in common? They were all completely real, we talked about all of them, and honestly none of us are okay. This week we went fork-first into the deranged world of professional competitive eating — the training regimens, the diet cycles, the stomach expansion strategies, and the absolutely unhinged amount of m...

We’re back and we took the scenic route this week. It starts with Mike going full Baron Von Pearce at a video game meetup at Red Lake Brewery (yes, his in-game name is Baron Von Pearce, and yes, that’s what gamers call each other when they meet up in person), and somehow ends with humanity staring into the infinite void of the universe wondering why a glass bottle will still be here in a million y...

It was Friday the 13th, and things got weird. We went full spooky mode this week — diving into the eerie Elisa Lam case again, the most haunted place in the world (spoiler: it was an island), and the mysterious Dyatlov Pass Incident. We also hit the San Luis Valley UAPs, haunted spots right here in Colorado, and the guy who voluntarily jumped into a lion enclosure in Brazil. You know, light stuff....

A frigid Friday night podcast! 90s food was built different — and so were we, apparently, because somehow what started as a list of Bagel Bites and Squeeze-Its evolved into a full-blown confessional about sneaking out of the house as teenagers. We cover the greatest hits of 90s snack culture, argue about which ones actually held up, and try to figure out why Dipping Dots never became the future th...

In this episode, we take a ride through one of our favorite rabbit holes — how the world changed insanely fast across just a handful of generations… and how that speed has completely reshaped the way we live, communicate, listen to music, drive cars, raise kids, and even think about time itself. We start with a viral nostalgia post that sparked a massive reaction online and quickly realize that wh...

Today’s conversation is not an easy one — and it’s not meant to be. This episode looks at a story that includes a violent crime, an arrest, two trials with two very different outcomes, and the ripple effects that continue long after a verdict is read. In June of 2024, a shooting at Veteran’s Tavern in Pueblo, Colorado left two women injured, and took the life of 65-year-old Elaine Masias. David Fr...

Tony bikes to work in freezing weather, finally watches Whiplash (only 11 years late), and then accidentally starts perhaps the most heated debate we’ve ever had on the podcast. A conversation about Caleb Williams and biased commentators turns into a full-on Bears vs stats showdown, with Tony making bold claims and Mike playing contrarian—with receipts. We’ve never argued on the pod before, and th...

Bruce Leroy joins us for a full-on 90s spiral — cartoons, toys, bad decisions, and the strange realization that we’re all officially in different phases of life now. With birthdays looming (44, 47, and a “still-only-40”), we talk retirement dreams, food trucks, moving to the Philippines, and why there’s no rush to have life figured out. Then we go deep on 90s culture: legendary cartoon intro music...

🎙️BIG episode energy on this one. First off—this was our first-ever live stream on Twitch, and yeah… we’re doing that every week now. No turning back. We’re joined by the phenomenal and well-established reggae-rock scene artist, Cameron Schuyler, and the legendary reggae-rock scene veteran, Michael Patti–and somehow this episode turned into a perfect mix of art, music, origin stories, and absolute...

Tony wipes out on his bike (he’s fine… mostly), we realize our old hair and clothing choices were objectively wild , and then things take a turn. We talk real division in the country, ICE, rubber bullets, questionable vetting, and Trump continuing to say things that feel like Mad Libs gone wrong. Tony is officially undefeated in the comment section and is (probably) retiring before it gets ugly. F...
