Episode 260: Bars, Brains & Bipolar — A Real One with Terrell Matheny
This week we sit down with Terrell Matheny — entertainer, rapper, singer, actor, filmmaker, and all-around creative Swiss Army knife. And instead of just doing the usual highlight-reel interview, Terrell keeps it real… like really real.
We talk about:
• The grind behind being multi-talented (and why it’s both a blessing and a curse)
• Creativity, identity, and what happens when your brain never hits the off switch
• Mental health, bipolar disorder, and why honesty beats pretending you’re “fine”
• The difference between chasing validation and chasing purpose
• And how turning pain into art can be both healing and terrifying
There are laughs, heavy moments, thoughtful pauses, and the kind of honesty you don’t always get when the mics are on — but we got it anyway.
No fake hype. No polished PR answers. Just a genuine conversation with someone who isn’t afraid to talk about the messy stuff and the magic.
Hit play, get comfortable, and ride with us on this one.
🎧🔥
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!

Episode 229: The Avery Jacob Frequency
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,
