Episode 220 - From Beater Cars to Big Questions

February 01, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Life, Podcast

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 driving total junkers—Mike’s infamous little blue hatchback 323, a car that was given to him for free and then stolen three times, plus the terrifying car crash he somehow walked away from. Tony shares his teenage driving fail, sliding into an intersection and stalling out. Good times!

But it’s not all laughs—we get into the phases of parenthood, how life changes as your kids grow, and ponder some deep stuff: why are so many powerful people into dark, twisted things? What’s the nature of existence? How do planets bloom with life? And how many forms of life could exist out there in the infinite universe?

It’s a wild ride of stories, laughs, and big questions—don’t miss it!

Cheers!

Episode 219: Mark the Couch Guy, Finger Math, and Selling Cinnamon Buns

January 25, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Conversational, Denver, Life

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 owned by Nestlé.


From there, it’s a wild ride. We ponder the meaning of “making it” in life, but Mark cuts the deep talk short with hilarious stories of hustling as a kid—selling old cinnamon buns on the side like some sort of pastry kingpin. He also shares the struggle of trying to graduate high school and the boys tell stories of getting busted for using AI to write essays (it’s not as easy as it sounds, apparently).


But the pièce de résistance? Mark’s “super simple” multiplication trick using his fingers, which is the most unnecessarily complicated thing we’ve ever heard. We also take a trip down memory lane to the days of doing math by hand and then spiral into discussions about living on Mars, climate change, financial literacy, and why IQ means nothing if you can’t stop getting in trouble at school.


Episode 219 is a glorious mix of deep thoughts, dumb laughs, and Mark trying to explain the unexplainable. Grab your coffee (or stale cinnamon bun) and tune in!

Cheers,

Episode 218: Terrell Matheny – Filmmaking, Sliders, and a Mushroom Bar Adventure

January 18, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Podcast

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. Terrell shares the unique process behind his directorial debut, which was shot over four months without a script, relying instead on a coaching approach to guide the actors.


We also dive into his latest business venture, Slide and Sliders, and his insights on independent filmmaking. Along the way, Terrell entertains us with personal anecdotes about dating, drinking, and a hilarious story involving a mushroom bar at a show.


The conversation spans the challenges of staying relevant in the music industry, the balance between creative pursuits and family life, and the nostalgia of retro tech like car phones and Sega Channel. Terrell’s candid humor and storytelling make this an episode you won’t want to miss!


Bipolar 3 and its soundtrack will be available on Amazon Music starting January 25. Tune in for a mix of laughs, insights, and inspiration!


Cheers!

Episode 217: Kendrick Kennedy - Fitness, Passion, and German Perspectives

January 11, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Community, Conversational, Denver, Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Kendrick Kennedy for an inspiring and entertaining conversation covering a little bit of everything! Kendrick shares his journey of starting a gym, his experiences growing up in Germany, and how those formative years shaped his passion for athletics and coaching.


We dive into comparisons between life in Germany and the U.S.—from “the German Stare” to public transportation—and swap some hilarious old stories from when Mike and Tony worked together. Kendrick also shares practical fitness tips for busy middle-aged dads, including simple ways to get more active, the benefits of cold plunges, and the importance of sleep.


But that’s not all—we touch on California living, smoking cigarettes, gym culture, music, and so much more. Whether you’re looking for a laugh, some motivation, or actionable advice to improve your health, this episode has it all!


Tune in for a great mix of wisdom, humor, and inspiration.


Cheers!
