Pulse Pounding

After much anticipation—and plenty of procrastination—the time to celebrate is finally here! This week, Mickey returns with Pulse Pounding’s very special 100th episode. You’ve listened to countless interviews with artists, songwriters, lesbians, therapists and Jehovah’s, but this time, the tables are turning.
Mickey welcomes his very first guest host, Casey—his most trusted friend and confidant—to ask all the hard-hitting questions about the journey to 100. Join the pair as they discuss the origins of Pulse Pounding, the beginnings of Mickey’s comedic personality, and a recap of favorite moments and stories. They also reflect on the fear and anxiety of a first-time interview, the future of the podcast, upcoming stand-up comedy, and so much more!
The biggest and loudest THANK YOU goes to the 'Extended Network', for always showing up and for tolerating the sometimes inconsistent schedule. Cheers to continued conversation, growth, and the next 100 episodes!
Big thank you to Casey for putting so much time and effort into research and preparation, as well as finding the vision for exactly what this episode was supposed to be. Eternally grateful for you in every way.

This week, Mickey returns for a solo sit-down at an ungodly hour and on no sleep. He talks through the return of Catey Shaw and seeing her live for the first time in 742 years; his supposed “situationship” that turned into just a hookup; starting a nonprofit dog-sitting business; how he fell in love with a hookup on night one; and his triumphant first dip into stand-up comedy — including an unexpected, serendipitous run-in with Hot Chocolate.

This week, Mickey’s back with a solo episode to rant about an array of topics, including a conversation about ordering ahead at Starbucks with his sisters, why he can’t stand Dunkin’ Donuts, following the GPS in the wrong direction, and his grandmother’s accusations against the Pulse Pounding listeners involving robocalls, identity theft, and a potential hidden fortune. He also talks about the cancellation of The Barber and, of course, takes a deeper dive into the lore of The 5th Guy.
That’s it — that’s the description. Listen or don’t.
Does anyone even read this?

This week, Mickey returns with a solo episode full of chaos. After ordering a late-night box from Taco Bell, he discovers that his Uber Eats driver is making the delivery on a bicycle—riding more than 10 miles to pick up and drop off the order. How long does it actually take someone to bike 10 miles? Tune in to find out.
Mickey also dives into the madness of workplace conversations, from coworkers discussing their menstrual cycles on the Flo app (which he’s just discovered) to another coworker accidentally calling the police on herself after her child got ahold of her nicotine vape.
Then, he shares not one but two DL encounters—because apparently exposing them is trending now. First, a DL from Mickey’s past who refuses to accept that Mickey is strictly gay and not interested in sleeping with his wife. Second, a tall, dark, and handsome DL who is—wait for it—24.
Stick around until the end of the episode for a deep dive into the comeback of Danity Kane and fresh releases from Demi Lovato, Miguel, Ari Abdul, and Psylosia.
