The Mike and Tony Show

Tony’s first full day off school? Spent in a music-fueled frenzy until 4AM! Meanwhile, Mike earned a day off and soaked in the Denver Art Museum like a classy gent. 🎨🎧 We talk: Album update: first song done ✅, live shows coming 🎤, and 10 unreleased tracks dropping all summer long ☀️ Korean soap operas are WILD right now. Trust us. Pigeon-guided missiles. Yes, that was real. 🐦💣 The weird and...

The amazingly talented, down-to-earth Dominique Gordon joins us this week—our second-ever guest in show history! 🙌 Dom does it all: author 📚, poet ✍️, songwriter 🎶, performer 🎤... and now, aspiring high school counselor 🎓 and budding stand-up comic 🎭. We talked music influences (My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and more 🤘), why being Black and loving rock music still raises eyebrows in so...

It’s our first-ever Monday episode (Memorial Day vibes!), and Tony’s already losing a fight to pollen — seriously, someone get this man some local honey. Mike’s gearing up to work the upcoming Dirty Heads triple-head show in Colorado, but we still found time to unpack way too many topics, including: 🌪 Shifting weather patterns & why your joints are better forecasters than the Weather Channel &...

This week, Mike busted out his legendary Box of Tickets — a treasure trove he’s kept nearly his whole life — and took us on a hilarious, nostalgic, and occasionally weird trip through time. We sift through everything: 🎢 Six Flags Elitch Gardens, 2001 (Mike was 19, Tony was 21 — peak awkwardness) 💾 Remember Y2K panic? Yeah, we went there. 🎶 A concert from just last February popped up — ancient h...

It’s that time again—grab a Dr. Pepper, toss in a splash of pickle juice (wait, what?), and settle in for another chaotic ride with Mike and Tony. Mike kicks things off with a true crime story straight outta Breckenridge: a coworker’s car got robbed at a conference, and someone made off with thousands in museum donations. Oh, and there were no security cameras—because of course there weren’t. Mean...

This week, Mike announces his latest side hustle: custom 3D-printed guitar picks—because what every musician needs is a pick made by a guy who loathes geese. Meanwhile, Tony is officially back in the music game with an album dropping this fall and plans to hit the stage again (watch out, Denver!). We go deep on TikTok drumming prodigies, ancient nightmare fuel like 5-foot scorpions and 42-foot sna...

It’s Friday night in Colorado, the weather’s going haywire, and everyone’s battling a chest cold (forgive the occasional cough!). But that didn’t stop us from sitting down with the powerful rapper, bassist, songwriter, frontman, teacher, and free thinker—Avery Jacob. Tony and Avery quickly discover a mutual connection through Denver drum phenom Alex Armstrong—turns out it really is a small world....

On a snowy Friday night following an 84-degree day (only in Denver, right?), we welcomed back fan-favorite guest, producer, beatmaker, and all-around solid dude—Fat Trak! He brought along some seriously adorable music created by his students, plus he blessed us with two exclusive unreleased tracks he finished just the night before. Tony admits he loves to freestyle to Fat Trak’s beats… so naturall...

Tony’s waist-deep in CMAS testing, but it’s a beautiful Saturday morning—so the mics are hot and the nonsense is flowing! This week: Mike’s getting lean for summer, Tony’s wife is running a full-time renovation empire, and Mike took a little field trip to the History of Colorado Museum. That somehow led us into a deep dive on the joys of having multiple landline phones in the same house in the 199...

Episode 226: “Rooted in Reality” In this episode, we sit down with Staff Sargeant Lacy McDonald and Raven for a deep and wide-ranging conversation that touches on everything from food sustainability to the state of education in America. Lacy shares powerful insights from his work with The Big Green Dow and Kimbal Musk, and reflects on the impact he’s had—and continues to have—on the people around...

This week, we sat down for a Saturday morning podcast in the middle of spring break—evidenced by Tony almost sleeping through the recording. We talked March Madness, funny college team names, comfortable sneakers, and the mind-blowing discovery of a 2-kilometer-deep structure under the Pyramid of Giza. Naturally, this led us down a rabbit hole of what it all means for human history, leaving us wit...

Mike returns from Reggae Rise Up in Florida with wild stories, including a last-minute tire change that almost derailed the whole trip. We discuss the legendary Dave Foral of Dirty Heads—his art, his music, and his general awesomeness. Then things take a turn: museum glass so invisible it might be a conspiracy, the Department of Education getting deconstructed like a flimsy Ikea shelf, and why no...

Mike has drama from The Last War Survival Mobile video game affecting his personal life. This sparks a deep dive into the wild world of pay-to-play gamers who drop thousands just to dominate. Meanwhile, Tony is back in the gym, but Mike flexes harder—because apparently, he has three gyms. The guys debate morning vs. evening workouts, the power of coffee motivation, and the benefits of shaking thin...

This week on The Mike and Tony Show, we kick things off with the daily struggle: waking up late, forgetting everything, and sprinting out the door like your hair's on fire. From there, we dive into Elon Musk’s involvement with the new administration, the speed of the internet (and how it determines your video game dominance), and the dark financial hole that is Roblox.  We also talk basketbal...

Mike joins the 1200-pound club, while Tony is out here hooping like he’s about to get drafted.

Mike is back in the studio! This week, we take a nostalgic ride down memory lane, reflecting on The Mike and Tony Show’s humble beginnings—from recording in a basement that looked like a crime scene to our now-finished studio. We catch up on some wild stories, like past guest Francisco Espinoza tearing his bicep and waiting two days to see a doctor (ouch!). We also dive into the glory days of driv...

This week, Mike’s out of town, so we called in the one and only Mark “the Couch Guy” to fill his chair—and, boy, does Mark deliver. Things kick off with a caffeinated discussion: light vs. dark roast coffee, the mystery that is coconut coffee, and why hot chocolate is the underdog of hot drinks. We even get philosophical about Abuelita chocolate, only to have our childhoods Tony explains that it’s...

In this episode, we sit down with Terrell Matheny to discuss his upcoming film Bipolar 3, set to release on January 25, along with its original soundtrack.

We also dive into his latest business venture, Slide and Sliders, and...
