Episode 219: Mark the Couch Guy, Finger Math, and Selling Cinnamon Buns
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 213: From Murder Mysteries to Morning Madness (and a Lot of Toe Talk)
Episode 213: From Murder Mysteries to Morning Madness (and a Lot of Toe Talk)
This week, Mike and Tony dive headfirst into a patchwork of random topics and toe-related tangents that somehow all connect (kind of). 🕵️♂️✨ From the fun of murder mystery parties 🕵️♀️🔪 and the struggles of being a morning person ☀️😩 to the chaotic feeling when you’re running late 🏃♂️💨 and battling sleep inertia 🛌😴—it’s a wild ride through a regular day.
Things get particularly... grounded 🦶 when they chat about bunion surgery 🦶⚔️, flat feet 👣, wet feet 💧, and the mysterious wonders of The Toe Bro 👨⚕️. And because no episode would be complete without a little true crime flavor 🔪🖤, they sprinkle in some serial killer banter 🏚️, PCP, Fun Facts 🤯, and a whole lot more.
Two regular Colorado guys with zero formal training 😅 but all the conversation chops 🏆, Mike and Tony keep it light, laugh-filled, and somehow insightful—whether you’re tuning in on your morning jog 🏃♀️🎧 or trying to shake off your own sleep fog 🥱💭.
So, put on your dancing socks, lace up your shoes 👟,💃🕺, and join the fun for Episode 213. Just don’t be late... or have wet feet. Thank you kindly. 🙏😄
🎙️ *Laughs, life, and toe talk. This is The Mike and Tony Show. 🚀

Episode 157 - DJ Chonz
We have a real treat for you this week! We sat down with Denver's very own - DJ Chonz! We talked about his early days building a name for himself in the Denver music scene, growing up in Colorado, working in radio, touring nationally & internationally, how he got started in education, why he built the Denver DJ Chonz Foundation, what it was like to DJ a private party for Dr. Dre, wrestling, and much much more! Buckle up kids, this is a good one. Below is an excerpt from DJ Chonz's website:
Today, with 30 years of experience, he's the most recognizable DJ in Colorado and surrounding states. Over the years, he led the station to No. 1 rankings in various categories, including afternoon and night hosts for the 18-34 demographic from 2009 to 2011 locally and nationally in 2012.
He's won numerous awards from Denver's alt-weekly Westword's "Best of …" issues, including Best Hip-Hop DJ, Best Denver Radio, and Best Online Radio show for a daily mix he streamed live on the internet. He was also awarded Best Afternoon Show from the Colorado Broadcast Awards in 2010.
DJ Chonz continues to dominate the nightclub scene with several weekly events in Denver. When he's not on the road or in the studio, giving back to the community is essential to DJ Chonz, especially when he can lead young people to find positive life direction through music. "There are many genres of music," Chonz says. "I am fortunate to be able to play all formats. This allows for growth as a person and as a DJ. A DJ's job is to cater to a crowd and play what's relevant to them. That's what I do."
Enjoy!

After nearly 2 years of working with different manufacturers and testing different fabrics, designs, and sizing, we made what we think are the perfect, truly stretchy, pants. We designed these to be for everyone! These were made So You Can Do You! You can wear them to work, school, the gym, the skatepark, clubbing, or WHEREVER! Men, women, it doesn't matter! You get the point, try us out, you won't be disappointed.
