Episode 244 – Bugs, Toes & A Guy Living in the Walls

August 23, 2025 by Mike & Tony Pearce & Dollar in Colorado, Comedy, Conversational, Denver, Entertainment, Family, Life, Podcast, Politics

This one starts with spiders (giant ones… and duct tape??), but quickly unravels into a whole mess of stories about bugs, people secretly living in walls, and even a woman discovered squatting in the attic of a major supermarket for over a year. What is happening out there?!

From there, we dive into all things body maintenance: Mike’s new obsession with the sauna/cold plunge life at 212 Performance Gym (and Tony maybe electrocutes himself with a DIY freezer plunge 😬), to the surprises of actually tracking body composition, to the glory of hitting 15k steps a day thanks to New Balance and, yes, ChatGPT. Oh, and somehow pedicurists, long toes, and bloody toe disasters get thrown into the mix. You’ve been warned.

We also hit some nostalgia—growing up in the 80s and 90s when boredom was a skill, sneaking home late was terrifying, and we weren’t glued to two screens at once. Sprinkle in some ruthless roasting of Mike’s feet pics, a little political heat, and a rundown of America’s most dangerous cities, and you’ve got yourself a classic Mike & Tony ride: hilarious, random, and just a little terrifying.

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 🧠📱.
