87//Who Let It Flop?! YOU.

This week, Mickey sits down for a solo episode to discuss the MOST. After a quick rant about his barber being unknowingly on “bahcation,” he dives into the progress of the Brooklyn Mirage redesign, how unlikely it is they’ll make their opening day, the CEO doubling down on construction progress—or lack thereof—and, of course, the comments!
Mickey also talks about the kickoff of the most anticipated (for some) summer tours from Beyoncé and Katy Perry, the unrealistic expectations the public has set for Gaga’s Mayhem shows, how boring he finds Tyla as an artist, plus new music from Benson Boone, Artemas, and Megan Thee Stallion.
This episode, we’re bringing back the relationship conversations! Mickey recounts a talk with a friend about her divorce, dog sitting, and the realization that your ex is out living a new life—without you.
