EPISODE 250: Love, Lightning, and Dinosaur Poop 💩⚡️❤️

Two hundred and fifty episodes. Can you believe that? Somewhere between Tony’s new e-bike obsession, Mike’s refusal to buy anything for himself, and yet another internet comment section meltdown — we somehow built a whole community.

This week, our favorite middle aged dads cover everything from UFC knockouts and wrongly imprisoned heroes to fossilized dinosaur dumps and the Oxford study that claims falling in love costs you two close friends (which honestly explains a lot). Tony flexes his 90 WPM typing skills and announces his brand new teacher podcast, Teacher Thought Lab, while Mike questions why humans walk upright and have thumbs like we’re better than everyone else.

Also discussed: dogs vs. cats, the history of e-bikes (you won’t believe how old this idea is), the wildest salesman alive, and how teaching is one of the hardest jobs on Earth.

By the end, we come to the shocking realization that after 250 episodes… the whole point of this podcast might just be LOVE.

Thanks for all your support!

Cheers,

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!
