This week, Mickey sits down for a calm, cool, and collected solo episode. Why so calm? Because he’s high — and struggling to get his thoughts out.
Listen along as Mickey shares his thoughts on Charlie Kirk and the people celebrating his death (which he finds super weird), the hypocrisy on both ends of the political spectrum, taking a break from drinking, navigating difficult relationships, dealing with a lack of reciprocal support, and the difference between perception and reality. He also talks about attending a Savannah Bananas game and his week-long concert extravaganza, where he saw Kesha, The Weeknd, Rüfüs Du Sol, and Rose Gray!

In an impromptu, special weekend episode, Mickey sits down to rant about the various things currently driving him nuts.
In this bonus, solo episode, he’s talking about the teenage customers who wouldn’t stop making out at his table, why making out between forkfuls of food is gross af, the current debacle with DMV reservations, the wait times and the lunacy at the front door, as well as the LONGEST story about why he’d like everyone at Verizon wireless to go to hell.
He hopes you all find entertainment in his misfortune.

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.
