Episode 285: An Exploding Whale, Wyoming Women, and a Cursing Parrot

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!

Episode 284: Raining Fish, Retaining Walls, and a Founding Father Who Watched Cannibalism

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 cannibalism obsession, try to fact-check whether it's actually ever rained fish in Honduras (spoiler: nobody's got video), and swap stories about the most terrifying exes of their youth — taser-wielding black belts included. Buckle up, it's a weird one. #MikeAndTonyShow #PodcastLife #MandelaEffect #WeirdHistory #RaininFish #JamesonWhiskey #RetainingWallFail #FourthOfJuly #Freedom250 #RugbyNewbie #TrueCrimeTuesday #CrazyExStories #DenverPodcast #WildScience #TwoRegularDudes #EpisodeHitList #FishFromTheSky #HippoVsCroc #DarkWebStories #Episode284

Episode 283: Bears, Bones & Brain Melters

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 wrote erotic novels and then tried to bury them. Oh, and a tablespoon of neutron star would destroy the Earth. We did the math. It's about 1.3 million elephants' worth of bad news. And Mystic Mountain Morning, Tony’s new single, is out now. Don't sleep on it.  Buckle up buttercup! It’s a fun one.

Episode 282: Bench Clips, Beer Floods, and Bad Decisions

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 skills). Then it's straight into '90s fashion nostalgia, the Grateful Dead's legendary Wall of Sound, and a deep dive on Indy cars vs. NASCAR that neither of us should be allowed to explain on air. Plus: Juneteenth history, a dad joke, and a guy named Boston Corbett who really committed to the bit. We got it all this week.

Episode 281: The Trillionaire, the Trout, and the AirPod

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 — congrats to all of us, we guess), a woman swallowed her AirPod and spent four days with a plastic baggie and a disposable fork, and a man in Detroit had a splinter in his eye for fifteen years and his vision was almost perfect. We also covered cryogenic preservation, the Coca-Cola Magic Cans of 1990, prehistoric humans hunting short-faced bears in their sleep (literally), platypus venom, a 507-year-old clam that scientists killed just to find out how old it was, and a reminder that only 44% of your cells are actually yours. Shoutout to Kyle — the first lungfish to crawl out of the water and start all of this. Cheers! m&t
