Episode 252: Sand Fleas, Smart Crows & Acid No-Hitters

October 25, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Dating, Denver, Life, Music, Podcast

Tony survives a horrendous weed trip and swears off the stuff for good 😵💨, while Mike returns from Mexico with legs that look like they lost a war with a sand flea army 🦟😂. He’s still somehow the life of the party — and already planning his retirement south of the border 🇲🇽.

The guys also dive into some wild headlines:
🐦 Crows hold grudges and might be as smart as your 7-year-old.
📺 MTV finally signs off after 44 years — RIP to music videos.
⚾️ Dock Ellis once pitched a perfect game on LSD (no-hitter on a high).
👶 A shocking update on Tupac’s “Brenda’s Got a Baby” — the real baby was found through Ancestry.com after decades.

This one’s got everything: pain, redemption, science, baseball, and poetic justice — basically “The Mike & Tony Show” in a nutshell.

Cheers!

Episode 249 – The Princess, the Pea & Giant Walking Robots

October 04, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Family, Life, Music, Podcast, Politics

What happens when reggae jam bands, sleep disorders, and mouthwash conspiracies collide?
Mike and Tony unpack a wild week featuring Giant Walking Robots—a live show so funky it practically needed its own gravitational field. Tony reveals more about his upcoming album Huckleberry Surprise (dropping Nov 7 with a release party at Hangar 61 @ Peña Station 🍓), complete with secret acoustic guests, food trucks, and enough merch to clothe a small village.

Meanwhile, Mike’s sleep system has him living like royalty: one sheet, four pillows, zero tolerance for imperfection. The guys debate Listerine stroke rumors (?!), Tony’s fear of mystery infections, and why House MD taught us nothing useful about actual medicine.

Also: backyard hoops, childhood clarinets, band-nerd swagger, social-media beauty myths, and the eternal question—is The Rock really 6’5”?

Buckle up, friends, this was a fun one!

Cheers!

Episode 248: Reggae Roots, Weed Clouds, and Potato Murders

September 27, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Denver, Family, Life, Music, Podcast

Saturday morning vibes and the podcast table is BACK, baby. The studio feels right again.

We kick things off with a reggae report: John Brown’s Body + Giant Walking Robots = one of the best shows we’ve seen in ages. The openers were solid for a young band, but when the headliners hit the stage? Thirty years of experience slapped you right in the face. So rootsy, so groovy, and one of the best bass players Tony has ever heard. Meanwhile, the weed was next-level nuclear. Mike and Tony were absolutely barbecued. About 40% of the patio was passing joints around like candy, and only one person had a cigarette. Times have changed.

Of course, guns came up again—cue the internet comment section meltdown. But the real bombshell? Tony’s new album finally has a release date: November 7th. After three cover/name changes, Huckleberry Surprise is locked in stone. He explains what it’s like recording brand-new songs versus ones you’ve played for years. Possible live release party? Maybe solo acoustic with some guest artists. Stay tuned.

Tony also resurrected his “doomed” Facebook page after nearly a year of hacker hell, thanks to one random phone prompt that actually worked. Miracles exist.

We round things out with:

  • Tony’s traumatic paper route story (toxin exposure is real, people).

  • A horrifying tale of an entire family wiped out by… potatoes?!

  • And astronauts, who apparently live inside a time warp.

It’s a weird one, folks. Pour some coffee, spark one if that’s your lane, and buckle up.

Cheers!

Episode 246: Fantasy Teams, Deadly Fish, and Brett Michaels’ Wig

September 13, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Life, Music, Podcast, Politics

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!

Episode 243 – Capturing Life Through the Lens with Jamie Rogers

August 17, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Life, Music, Podcast

This week we sit down with photographer Jamie Rogers, whose journey with a camera started as a hobby and turned into a career filled with wild adventures and meaningful connections.

📸 We talk photography tips—like how to add depth, master the rule of thirds, and avoid rookie mistakes (like forgetting your night settings when the Northern Lights are dancing above you in Iceland).

🏔️ Beyond the breathtaking shots of landscapes, Avs, and Nuggets games, Jamie shares how guerilla capturing and persistence helped him break through, plus why he took the plunge into getting Part 107 drone licensed.

🌟 But this episode goes deeper than photography. Jamie opens up about his work with the nonprofit SOS Outreach, where outdoor mentorship builds character, leadership, and community for youth. He also shares his powerful story of choosing sobriety after a family intervention changed the course of his life.

And of course—because it’s The Mike and Tony Show—we wrap it up with some fun, including the bizarre tale of a furry who thought he could join a wolf pack. (Spoiler: nature had other plans.)

Cheers!

Episode 242 - Crates, Bounty Hunters & DJ Uniq Thret

August 02, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Family, Life, Music, Podcast

Ever wonder what it’s like to lug crates of vinyl, dodge bounty hunters, and be a DJ in a reggae band? Meet DJ Uniq Thret (Mark Franzen) – the man who went from being blown away by Mix Master Mike to scratching alongside P-Nuckle and helping crowds lose their minds.

This one has it all:

  • 🎶 How Mix Master Mike blew Mark’s mind and made him want to scratch records forever

  • 📦 Early 2000s DJ life = carrying 3,000 lbs of vinyl like CrossFit with better music

  • 🤯 That time the lead singer got hauled off by a bounty hunter right before a show, and Mark just jammed through it

  • 🎤 Mike’s fan fail: freezing on stage with his favorite reggae band and NO PHOTO

  • 🏄‍♂️ Why DJs need tables (and why some places… just… don’t)

  • 🕺 House, hip hop, reggae, and a crowd-reading sixth sense

  • 🐬 Fun facts: Cold stars, overthinking, and dolphins trained by the military (you can’t make this up)

Come for the scratching, stay for the bounty hunters.

Plus: house, reggae, hip hop, hiking, snowboarding, parenting, and dolphins trained by the military (yes, that’s a thing).

If you’ve ever set up a tripod on the beach to film yourself, this episode is for you.

Cheers!

Episode 240: Crocs, Clones & Cosmic Chaos

July 20, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Life, Music, Podcast

Why are so many people just out and about on a weekday? Don’t y’all have jobs? 🧐
Meanwhile, some Australian kids just survived a full night clinging to a sketchy tree while a 13-foot croc waited patiently below like it had popcorn. 🐊🌳

We also talk about:

  • The absolute units of the animal kingdom 🐘🐋

  • Killer whales and why they could literally dunk on us 🐬💥

  • The deep sea: nature's pressure cooker of doom 🌊💀

  • Infinite universe theory — yes, somewhere out there you did marry your 6th grade crush 💍🌌

  • Ancient humans mixing it up with Neanderthals 🧠💘

  • A wild measles outbreak happening right now 🤒📈

  • Why Bernie would’ve crushed it if time wasn’t a thing 🧓🔥

  • And the truly bonkers ways our government is deporting people 🚔✈️

Your weekly dose of “wait, what?!” is ready to go.

🎧 Listen now or the killer whales will come for your WiFi.

Cheers!

Episode 239 – Jorts, Chaos & the Humanzee Conspiracy

July 13, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Denver, Life, Music, Podcast

Mike finally crossed the denim line—he got the jorts. Meanwhile, Tony reflects on his own traumatic experience with cutoff jeans and why he approaches life like a man assembling IKEA furniture without instructions: slowly and thoroughly.

This week’s conversation ranges from the fires in Western Colorado to the chaos of the current measles outbreak (seriously, what the hell?). Mike breaks down the mobile game Last War Survival while Tony introduces his new podcast obsession: the one and only MrBallen, master of the creepy and bizarre. From Appalachian mountain mysteries to the tale of Oliver the Humanzee, the fellas dive deep, speculate wildly, and even fact-check live on the show.

We also revisit the ancient world through the foggiest lens possible, get Mike’s take on the new Jurassic Park movie, and check in on the Adnan Syed saga via Up and Vanished. Plus: murder, mystery, French fries, 7-Eleven, heart attacks, rage screaming, and one very poisonous grape.

How many grapes would you eat for $50,000 each?

Cheers!

Episode 237: Tears, Vicodin, and Bigfoot A.I. – Just another Saturday

June 22, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Life, Music, Podcast

This week’s episode is brought to you by Tony’s seasonal allergies 🤧—complete with tears 😢 and dramatic flair. Meanwhile, Mike can’t handle a single Vicodin 💊 without nearly losing his lunch 🤢. We also share the legendary tale of a family member who tried to flip off a swing... and flipped way too hard 🛝🦴.

We get into the real stuff too: mental health 🧠, aging parents 👵👴, jacked-up knees 🦵, and the emotional rollercoaster of trying to be a decent friend 👊❤️. Oh, and yes, UNC vs. Duke 🏀 gets heated, as always.

Mike realizes Tony’s extended family is basically a matriarchy 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧, and Tony gets roasted by a student who tells him to “quit with his old ass” 😂. Mike tells us about a coworker whose sole mission is to snitch on rule-breakers 🕵️‍♂️📋. Also, apparently wearing a hat every day triggers unsolicited hair commentary 🎩💬—especially when you’ve got shampoo commercial hair like Mike 💁‍♂️✨.

Cali confirms what Mike’s been denying: he’s officially old 🧓✅. We discuss Snoop’s claim that he’s Bob Marley reincarnated 🔁🎤, wonder what life is like as the Dalai Lama 🕉️, and Tony opens up about his weirdly specific addiction to AI-generated Bigfoot videos 👣🤖. And yes—TikTok will let you get away with almost anything... as long as a robot made it 🧠📱.

Episode 236 – Friday the 13th with Joe Dub: Hypoallergenic Lies & 37-Year-Old Gum

June 15, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Denver, Life, Music, Podcast

It’s Friday the 13th and things get weirdly nostalgic with our good friend Joe Dub! We dive into Tony’s unexpected reggae roots (shoutout P-Nuckle 🌿), the dangers of snuggling a definitely-not-hypoallergenic dog, and a dream so bizarre Tony can’t explain it... but definitely tries.

We get into the mind-blowing power of killer whales, the questionable logic behind shark tank diving, and some absolutely wild stats on what’s actually most likely to kill you (spoiler: not what you think).

Also: fermented foods, the magic of vinegar, and Joe Dub blesses us with vintage 1988 dinosaur trading cards — complete with original gum. Naturally, Mike eats the 37-year-old fossilized sugar slab like it’s a fine wine. Crunch level: gravel.

Oh, and by the time this episode drops, Tony’s dropping his first single of the summer! 🎶🔥

Grab your cards, your kombucha, and your irrational fear of sharks — it’s a good one.

Cheers!

🎙 Episode 233 — Allergies, AI Girlfriends & the Mandela Mind Melt

May 31, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Community, Denver, Life, Music, Podcast

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

 🤖 AI girlfriends, including YouTuber Alex Stokes, who built his a robot body (because, of course)

 🍑 STIs on the rise among seniors (whoa, Grandma!)

 🎩 The Mandela Effect — why did we all swear the Monopoly guy had a monocle?! (Ace Ventura was the proof)

 💊 Neuro gum, watermelon, jicama, and other ways we’re convincing ourselves we’re “healthy”

 🐍 What if snakes, spiders, and predators were enormous? Who would animals vote for if they ran elections?

 🏀 And yes… we’re salty. How did Joker not get MVP?!


Plus: Antarctica isn’t what you think, professional iceberg movers are real, and Mike & Tony wonder if they should pivot to being line-standers for cash.

Hit play — we’re bringing the weird this week!


Cheers!

Episode 231: Pickle Juice, Parrots, and Flaming USBs

May 10, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Music, Podcast

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.


Meanwhile, Tony’s beefing with his third stapler of the school year. Middle schoolers: undefeated.


Tony’s also officially back in the studio recording his new album, so expect some upcoming social media action (and probably at least one video of him singing barefoot on a rug).


We also dive into parrot drama (yes, parrots): one was involved in a murder trial, another made a neighbor call the cops, and Mike reveals his very first parakeet experience.


Plus:

    •    The great gorilla vs. 100 men debate just won’t die

    •    The domestication of cats (and why they’ve never respected you)

    •    Tony’s new science podcast obsession

    •    Zombie apocalypse weaponry

    •    A preserved dinosaur from 10 million years ago

    •    Kids lighting computers on fire with pencils (WHY?!)

    •    And of course, the eternal struggle of teachers just trying to get basic supplies without selling a kidney.


Another unfiltered episode packed with curiosity, chaos, and questionable beverages.


⸻

Cheers!

Episode 230: Murder, Music, and a 43,000-Year-Old Shrub

May 03, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Community, Denver, Entertainment, Life, Music, Podcast

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 snakes, and the terrifyingly casual way psychopaths and sociopaths roam the world. Also: how many people actually get away with murder? Seems like probably a lot.


Then it’s Gorilla vs. Human—a cultural moment we couldn’t ignore. We each take a side, and no, it’s not the one you’d expect. Plus: a 43,000-year-old shrub in Tanzania that’s still kicking, and a breakdown of the personality differences between Pan troglodytes and Pan paniscus (aka: aggressive war chimps vs peaceful sexual chimps). Trippy stuff!


It’s chaos. It’s curious. It’s The Mike and Tony Show.

Cheers!

m&t


PS

We’ll be trying some new intro music over the next several weeks. Hit us up in the comments if you hear one you like.

Episode 229: The Avery Jacob Frequency

April 26, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Community, Denver, Life, Music, Podcast


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.


In this episode, we dive into deep conversation about creativity, purpose, and the art of teaching the next generation. Avery opens up about his creative process, the key to making timeless music, and what fuels his drive. We also explore the spiritual side of music, staying grounded through life’s chaos, and the value of flexibility in chasing fulfillment.


Then we get into Avery’s thoughts on neonatalism, his fear of snakes, and the great philosophical debate: can you separate the artist from the art? Oh—and the most important question of all (at least to Avery): what’s his favorite cheese? Tune in to find out.


Another episode in the books, and we’re stoked to share it with you. Avery Jacob is a force, and it’s always an honor having him on the show.


Cheers,

Episode 228: Fat Trak - Adorable Tracks and Unreleased Heat

April 19, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Community, Denver, Music, Podcast

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 naturally, Fat calls him out to drop a verse on the spot. Did Tony deliver? Well, you’ll have to listen and judge for yourself. Let us know in the comments!

Fat also shares some stories from his recent trip to Japan, where he went digging for records—and explains how those finds are shaping his upcoming release. He opens up about the emotions fueling the project, and then plays a track that left us almost speechless. (C’mon, we’re a podcast… we’ve always got something to say!)

This episode was a ride—heart, humor, and straight-up heat. Fat Trak showed up and showed out, letting us get to know him even better in his second visit to The Mike and Tony Show.

Oh, and we managed to sneak in some listener-submitted Dad jokes, Fun Facts, and a few other surprises too.

Cheers,

Best known for playing in the wildly successful funk band, Lettuce 🥬—a band that rewrites the rules of funk and blurs genre lines—Benny talks life, music, and his roots, including his Portuguese 🇵🇹 mother and his Jewish ✡️ father.

Episode 189 - Meghan Clarisse

May 18, 2024 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Music, Podcast

This week singer songwriter and Colorado Country Music Hall of Fame's 2024 Female Vocalist of the Year nominee, Meghan Clarisse, joined us for the second time on the show! She is always such a positive force in the room and graced us with two musical performances. She performed Monster and Breaker Breaker and it was outstanding my friends! Coffee in hand, we jumped into conversation about music, yoga, The Alchemist, simulation theory, recording experiences, losing loved ones, Rick and Morty, Fun Facts, and much, much more!

Cheers!
