It’s a post-Christmas pod, and things go exactly where you’d expect… and then way off the rails.
Mike spends a couple days deathly ill, Tony defends his lifelong love of Legos (especially space sets, because obviously), and we debate whether Voltron is an actual word people use in everyday conversation. From Transformers nostalgia to the strangely fascinating world of arm wrestling—how do these tiny dudes keep beating absolute giants?!
We also dig into Colorado accents (yes, they’re real), the linguistic clues that force Tony to finally admit his California roots, and why Colorado speech is flatter, calmer, and less dramatic than the rest of the country. Then we react to the wild TikTok comments we’ve been getting lately—some shockingly helpful (there is a connection between Amelia Earhart and coconut crabs ), others just doing classic troll things.
The conversation bounces through teaching during Covid, the absurdity of “civilized” rules of war, people who get away with murder (hard pass), crows vs. ravens beefing in the wild, the absolutely mind-blowing idea that your gut was your first brain, a reality check on Anthony Joshua vs. Jake Paul, and we wrap with New Year’s resolutions—organization for Mike, more cooking for Tony.
It’s weird, funny, thoughtful, and exactly what a post-holiday episode should be.
Cheers!

Episode 246: Fantasy Teams, Deadly Fish, and Brett Michaels’ Wig
This week on The Mike & Tony Show, Joe Dub slides back into the lineup — at this point he’s less “guest” and more “house band.” Together, the three of us prove that patience is for losers as Tony wakes up one morning and realizes he has not one… not two… but FIVE fantasy football teams. Because if you’re gonna lose, might as well do it five different ways.
We also talk about the Charlie Kirk shooting. People can’t wait half a second before getting political — let the man’s family breathe. Dude was a dad, a husband, a human. Period.
Then we step right into America’s dark greatest hits album: more school shootings. It’s like the one export we never wanted. We’re not anti-gun, but we do the math (badly, probably) on whether owning one really saves your life.
Other ridiculousness includes:
Eating puffer fish: AKA “Russian Roulette with chopsticks.”
How many people had to die for us to get sushi-level confidence in that dish?
Banana Laffy Taffy: turns out it’s based on a banana that doesn’t even exist anymore. That’s some ghost fruit flavoring.
Chips that taste exactly like a taco — sour cream, lettuce, the whole freakin’ thing. Society might be doomed, but at least snack science is thriving.
Brett Michaels’ hair: is it real, or is it Party City chic? Mike’s calling BS.
Fun Facts:
The odds of you being born are 1 in 400 trillion. Congrats, you beat the cosmic lottery just to listen to us.
Apple could literally buy Disney with the pocket change under its couch cushions.
Music makes you smarter, Hawaii has never hit zero degrees, and apparently women notice other women’s pretty faces way more than men do. Who knew?
This one’s part nonsense, part existential crisis, and all Colorado dad-energy (plus Joe Dub holding us down). Grab your Laffy Taffy and buckle up.
Cheers!
