We are here to answer some of the listener questions, right, Mike, Yes,
that's what we're doing here.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I always getting nervous with this. Why they're always good,
I don't know, just answering questions about myself. I just
feel on guard.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Okay, well, don't be on guard.

Okay.

you heard, he's on here with me. Thanks for trying. Mike.
What's the best adventure you've been on with Bobby? This
(00:45):
is from Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Best adventure was moving to la for like three to
four months to you dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That feels so like so long ago, and the fact
that you guys truly were living out there for that
portion also feels like a fever dream.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, I think the first three years of me moving
to Nashville and joining the show just feel like I
was never here. It's like a lot of travel, but
that was like that one just distinct memory of being
gone for a long time where we had an apartment
that to me, it felt like because I never had
a college experience where I lived on campus. I didn't
(01:18):
never had a dorm room. That was my college experience
of because it was a relatively small apartment. Essentially, you
walk in, there's a kitchen, a small living room, and
then to the left and right where each of our bedrooms.
They were about the same size bedrooms. So yeah, so
I had a roommate felt like a dorm room split
right down the middle, had like a little balcony, and
(01:40):
we would go to work, we do the radio show,
which felt like going to class, and then he would
go do Dancing with the Stars. I would either go
finish work or go do other stuff, and then we
would just rarely see each other because he would be
gone for so long, or then I would be gone
for so long, and then we would just kind of
come together at the end and then get ready for
(02:02):
the next day. So it just felt like college to me,
that does kind.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Of feel like college. I'm not gonna lie, that's kind
of what it is like. You have a roommate but
you see him in passing.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
We didn't do any laundry because it was like, we
don't have like soap and stuff here, so we were
just kind of getting by as as like two people
living in a door room.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, and because during that stint, did you guys come
back at all? Would you come back to Nashville for
a little, like just like a day or two at
any point in time?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I think looking back, I would. We would come back
randomly because I kind of remember coming back and getting
new clothes at some point, but I also would just
go shop there and would buy new clothes. And we
were also doing like touring at that time too, so
I think that's how we ended up coming back to Nashville.
We would go somewhere tour and then reconvene back in Nashville,
(02:52):
but then end up back in LA.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That was a crazy time, Yeah, and it feels like
a lifetime ago at the same time, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, it's twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. Wild wild that that
was now, I mean almost a decade ago.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh my gosh, that's crazy. That's just crazy. What is
Mike's normal running schedule when he's not training for a race?
Becca in Virginia.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I haven't trained for a race in three years, so
I think people will think that I'm constantly training, but
I'm not, Like I'm always kind of itching to do
a marathon, even like right now there's one like coming
up here in like April, and I'm like should I
do it? Should I not do it? So I'm never
I haven't been training for three years. But my normal
run schedule right now is I try to do forty
(03:33):
miles a week.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Okay, never got it? You're literally the same never gotta
get ready if you say ready or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Totally, it was like I could because my long run
is usually on Sundays. Are always on Sundays, and I'll
do twenty miles that's my long run.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And then and a marathon is how many.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Twenty six point two?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's hard. The thing about me is though, like I
can run twenty at like just the cruising speed, but
when I do a marathon, I get too competitive and
then I I start out too fast. It's hard for me.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
To like find your balance.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, I think if I could do if I just
went out and ran a marathon, I would have a
much easier time do it, no problem. But putting myself
in that race setting, I get a little bit too competitive,
Like I know I can go faster, I know, and
go faster, and then I burn out at that mile
twenty where I'm just like, I don't know if I
can finish this. I should have been slower.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well, hey, you might have a chance in April. It
sounds like, yeah, potentially do it.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
But I'll do that twenty mile long run and then
I'll do another two days of like ten mile runs
and that's my week.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So you'll run three times a week and forty miles.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Total, forty miles roughly. I think this week I did
forty two.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But it was also like the first time this week
I've been able to run outside in like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, so you're probably really excited.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Because there was snow and there was crap everywhere, and
then when it stopped, it was like super cold.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So I was like, I just that first forty degree
day we had, I thought I was in Hawaii. Yes,
we had sunshine, and I like walked. I was like,
I don't even care that I'm still a little bit cold,
because this smells awesome outside.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I mean, I was so excited to run. I think
the first day I ran, it was like twenty five
degrees and I was like, I don't care, Like I
think I've also kind of build up a tolerance to
the cold, or like after about ten minutes, I'm fine,
Like I don't feel cold anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So you could be like one of those I've seen
them when we were like in the ice storm. I
saw people running and they were like short listening shorts,
and I was like, are you insane? Actually insane? That
could be you.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Uh No, I got a bundle up a lot, Like
I'm wearing like full face mask. I have like layers
of stuff to where I see other people out running too,
and they're like just in a long sleeve. I'm like,
I don't know how you do it. I could do
it like all bundled up.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
But yeah, I feel like they're just showing off, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Almost to be from Canada, man, you built different.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
What are Mike's top five running like? What are my
words are hard today for me? What are Mike's top
five favorite running songs, Victorian misery.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh, running songs. When I listened to, what I listened
to is a lot of two thousands, punk rock, a
lot of I think my number one running genre is
probably anything from the two thousands, which was probably my
most influential decade. But it's either punk rock nostalgia. Yeah,
you love the nostalgia. What should we talk about in
part one? I don't know that I have specific songs,
(06:18):
I have specific artists. I'll do my top five artists.
Probably at number five is Slipknot because it's really heavy,
really fast, and I usually program it in my like
i'd make a specific playlist every single run, like I'll
pick out all the songs and i'll put a Slipknot
song about where I know I'm a halfway point and
(06:38):
you need like a I need something to like charge
me up to get me back, because I'll usually do
the method where you run one half one way and
then just turn around and come back instead of doing
a loop. So like I need that motivation to know
I'm about to see the exact same course, So I'd put.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Slipknot at number They're like screama right.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Metal, little bit new metal, but they screen though like
to like, Okay, so I'd put Slipknot at five. At
number four, I would probably put Blank on eighty two.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
All the small things are that song in there.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Nah, I'm gonna sound like an elitist fan, but I
don't usually put any of the singles in there.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Okay, So you like deep cuts.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I like the deep cuts, so I'd put Blank
on eighty two at four. At number three, I mean,
look at my last running playlist here.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I get it though, because I whenever I work out,
if I ever do intense workouts, I need upbeat, like
tempo stuff to keep up with my pace when I'm
doing things.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
At number three, I would probably I have an eighties
hardcore playlist that I pick from. So it's like eighties
hardcore punk bands like Black Flag and Minor Threat.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And I don't know I ever heard of them.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, this is a lot of this is stuff that
I just grew up listening to. So at number three,
I'm just gonna put eighties hardcore.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Eighties hardcore, which is like misfits.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Say those names again, misfits. Let's see what else is
on here. Black Flag one of my favorite hardcore bands
and probably the Descendants, which I.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Think not the Disney Descendants.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Different descendants of a video people still reference a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
To me.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Was the last time I went to one of their
shows and I was in a match pit, I was
watching the Descendants, Okay, Okay, so eighties hardcore at three.
At number two, Wu Tang as I listened to a
lot of Wu Tang like Wu Tang Clan, Wu Tang Clan.
Those those songs get me like hype because.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They don't put out new music anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Right, they haven't put uh, they haven't put out music
since like twenty fourteen. Okay, so a lot of this
is like basically one of their albums from the nineties,
enter the Wu Tang that I can just pick any
song on that or run to you, okay. And then
at number one, it's oddly going to be a band
that nobody listens to. So I'll say Post Malon because
(08:54):
Post Milan is on here do you okay? It's it's
a band called Banner Pilot and they were pretty big
in the mid two thousands, and I the first time,
like my band ever had a legit show. We opened
for Banner Pilot, Like the first time our band was
on a physical ticket, which was, like I thought, we
(09:16):
made it moment. So for those who don't know, I
was a leite singer in a punk band, and that
was the whole reason I moved to Austin, Texas, where
it ended up meeting Bobby, because we wanted to do music.
Austin obviously has a great live music scene, so for
the first three years that I was living there, I
was playing in shows all the time, playing in a band,
(09:36):
and we got a show for somehow they let us
open for Banner Pilot, who was to us like really
awesome because they were on this big indie punk label
that was like the mecca for any punk band, and
we got to open for them, and we had an
actual physical ticket, which you don't really get anymore, but
back then, if you had like an actual physical ticket,
that meant you were playing a legit show.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, And did you get a meet ban Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
They were really cool, really nice to us, and then
it was an awesome show. And they've been one of
my favorite Like it's weird that they're not even one
of my favorite bands, but I listened to them so
much that if you looked at my playlist, because a
lot of my top songs are songs that I run to.
I don't think I've ever done a run without them
on my playlist.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Now, are they still making new music?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
No, I think they stopped making music probably around twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, so most of yours are they're like old songs
that you used to listen to.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, very rarely will I sprinkle in new If I
do sprinkle in new stuff, it usually doesn't stick. There'll
be like some new songs in rotation. But like my
core running music is all two thousands, maybe a little
bit of twenty tens.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Okay, let me ask you this. Have you ever heard
of Tech nine? Yes, you have Tech nine in your playoffs?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
No, there they feel like a little bit they could
I would say, that's WU Tank adjacent, Okay, and.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Like just like they have a little bit of scream sometimes,
but they're mostly wrap.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah. I'd say the most modern artists that I put
on my playlist consistently is Tyler the Creator.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, you like him. I would imagine he's in one
of your top artists.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
He's a top ten Yeah yeah, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Hey, you know, everybody just discovered some new.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Music today, and I know some people who run to podcast, like,
oh yeah, some people run to our show and I'm like,
thank you for the support. But I could not listen
to people talking while running.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I could do it while walking.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Like sometimes at the gym, towards the end of
a workout, I'll listen to a podcast. But running just
to me is like I need to escape. I need
to have something pushing me along.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Or if I'm like lifting heavyweight, it has to be
like something to like push me forward, not like talking.
In my ears.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
There's probably somebody running now listening to this. How are
you doing it?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But you know what some people are like, That's why
everybody has different motivations, So I get it. Is there
a moving update? This is from Alyssa in Illinois.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
There is we have to move. I think the person
who owns our house is gonna sell it, so we're
actually in the active hunt of looking for a place
to live. We have like a scheduled showing next week.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Wait, so how long do you have until you have
to move?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I have to move out by the end of May.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Okay, so we got time.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, we have this place till the end of May.
So like right now is a little I would say
a little too early to be looking. But like in
that sweet spot, if we do find a place, hopefully
we could still get it around then. So the problem
is we found a place that we really like, have
a showing next week, and we fall into in love
with it that if we don't get it, we're going
to be like, man, we envisioned our whole next year
(12:37):
there already.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, and that's hard. That what's hard about it too,
Timelines have to add up to make sure it's like
you're not paying two places at the same time for
no reason. It's hard. Moving is hard, honestly, Like there,
I wish I could tell you there's like good with moving.
The good it happens after the move happens.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, I'm like trying to in my head of just like, okay,
it'll just be a little it would be like a
couple of months that kind of sucked in that trans
transition process. But then I'm like trying to put myself
in the future already. But I also, we don't have
a lot of stuff, which is kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That is nice. You guys are minimalists.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Pretty recently I went through like just getting rid of
a bunch of stuff. I had this kind of breakdown
where I was fixing something in our closet and my
entire closet just went all the way down. Everything fell
and like the shells broke and there was all this stuff,
and I was like, why do I even have all
this stuff? And I donated what could be donated and
(13:32):
then just trashed other stuff because like from when I
moved to Nashville, I packed up all my stuff and
what didn't fit in my Ford focus did not make
it here. I moved here with just what fit in there,
no moving truck, nothing, And I've always kind of kept
a box from each place that I've had, and it's
been like maybe three places now since then, and I'm like,
(13:54):
why have I been holding on to all these things?
I'm like, I'm going to do something with it eventually,
but it's this same brown box that I packed up
in twenty sixteen leaving college. I'm like, why do I
need this stuff? So I finally just got rid of
all these random things that I've been holding on to
that won't serve me in any way.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Are they like, were they memories? Were they certain items
of clothes?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It was like old headphones, cables that I thought I needed,
some old clothing that I've had for a long time,
a lot of just like random books that I'm like,
I've already read and I have no real reason to
keep them. So it was just like a box of
essentially junk. So now I cleaned out that entire closet
where there's nothing in there anymore, like on the shelves,
and all it is is like basically a coat closet.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's awesome. That feels good when you have it. Yeah,
and when you what really feels good about when you
get rid of stuff is you really realized you didn't
need it. There's nothing worse than getting rid of something
you're like, dang it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I've never felt that way, like I shouldn't have got
rid of that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's happened maybe twice in my life. And it was
really because it was like a fashion item that was
like a It could have been a staple in my
closet and I got rid of it because of space
or I was moving or whatever, and I was like,
m I really should have like kept that, And I
wasn't understanding, like you know, where you have your staples
in your clause At the time, I didn't know anything
about that, So I think that's the only two things.
(15:12):
But it's really cool when you get rid of stuff
and you're like, I don't even care about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I think it also helps you with not spending money
on stupid things down the line, because when you realize
that you bought all these things that maybe you wore
once or thought it was a good idea on the time,
you second guess the things you buy later. I'm like,
is this gonna be something that's just gonna end up
in the closet, me not wearing it, me not using it.
It has kept me from buying new things that I
(15:37):
haven't bought anything since that, and that was like months ago.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's impressive that you're not wrong. I feel the same way.
Are we gonna take a quick break. We'll be right
back with a few more questions. JP and Florida is
coming out taking shots and not at you.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh okay, totally. I was nervous.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, don't be nervous. He wants to know how bad
is Eddie's Spanish. I don't think.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Eddie's Spanish is that bad, okay, because I've heard him
have conversations with people that he could hold his own. Like,
I think the hard thing about Spanish now for me
is that I don't get to speak it that often
that even me, I feel rusty and just speaking it.
Understanding it's still one hundred percent, but it's one of
(16:21):
those things if you don't practice it all the time,
you kind of lose it a little bit. As far
as like being able to speak it on the level
of I couldn't do like a radio show in Spanish
right now because you have to speak so well. I
can't even speak English, but you can have to speak
like so well and precise and know every single just everything,
and be able to speak it in a smart way,
(16:43):
because it is a language that if you don't speak
it perfect, people will ribby in the shreds. So people
are very critical about Spanish. So and I think when
it comes to Eddie, I actually think he speaks it
pretty well. But I think the difference between maybe some
things that hurt him is unlike me, he doesn't understand
all of it, where if he's speaking to somebody in Spanish,
(17:06):
they could say something that he just doesn't know what
they are saying. Is that pretty That doesn't happen to me,
Like I'll get tripped up on like what's the Spanish
word for this again, and I'll have to remember. And
there's also just like this weird translation thing in my
brain where I know what it means in Spanish, but
there are some phrases that don't translate to English, so
I couldn't really tell you exactly what it means, even
(17:27):
though like I know what it means. It's just like
somebody telling you something in English that is so specific.
Maybe it's like to the South, like we have a
lot of weird phrases in the South that we try
to translate that to another language. It'd be really weird
explaining that bless your heart, bless your heart, Like I
don't know what that would be, like, how would I
translate that. Yeah, there's just these sayings, and especially when
it comes to some slang, that stuff that I've learned
(17:49):
over the years from like my parents, where it's probably
even like an insight slang joke between like our family
that has become a part of my vocabulary that I
would say, and people like, what are you talk talking about?
The almost its laying up picked up over the years.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That's interesting. That's interesting that that's how it shows in languages.
And I could totally see it. I mean even when
I was studying French, like the way that they would
go thing go about things, there were certain words that
would change in very particular situations. I'm like, so you're
telling me for that one word, I got to remember
it six different ways for what? Why not that the
(18:24):
English language is much better because ours also doesn't make
sense to me? The English language to me, like, I
am such a I love. I'm hooked on phonics kid, right,
So that's how I learned the English language. And I
would learn by sounding things out. The English language, you
don't actually sound things out. If you've ever looked at
pronouncing a word, it's never how you sound it out.
(18:47):
It's like the exact opposite. So no, that ever really
makes sense. But I think I can see where that
would cause problems, especially if you're not using it every day.
Languages are so important to be you every day, it
makes it hard to continue to keep up with it.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, I think my biggest practice now is I call
when I call my parents, like, I was like, that's
my time to speak Spanish. And I also think about
whenever we have kids, I want them to know both languages.
And I'm like, if I want them to learn. I'm
going to have to re up my abilities and maybe
I don't know, even take a or probably just spend
(19:24):
more time with my parents speaking with them that I
could be able to teach them. I think that's important
for me.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Heck, yeah it is again because we're the only one.
I keep saying, we like born in America and don't
have our descendants are far away. But that way, like
my German descendants are from gods decades ago, so I
don't have a lot of German speaking in my family.
But like, we don't have more than one language, and
(19:51):
we should. We should, we should have five languages. We're
smart enough, we can figure it out. We have enough education.
Let's speak five languages. So yes, dual languages is the
best place to start. And then if they have they
fall in love with tw languages, they're probably gonna want
to learn more. That's that's the beauty of that too.
So I love that you just sit them with mom
and dad for the summers. Yeah, well, hang out, learn
(20:13):
it all. What got you so interested in seeing so
many movies? Mary Ann and Lisa from California kind of
sounded like Mary and Wanda, but it's.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I think I've just always loved watching movies, and not
just watching them at home, but the actual going to
the movie theater. And I think there's just something where
I don't know if it's like I still associated with
my childhood or I just I don't really see it.
I do can't do anything else, Like watching movies to
(20:48):
me is like breathing.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
At this point. Or was that always the case?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I think always the case. Like I found like an
old journal I had back in two thousand and eight
that I was so into watching movies even then.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Was your family into watching movies?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Not really like my I don't think my dad's ever
sat through an entire movie. My dad has no hobbies.
He doesn't watch TV shows much less a movie. If
we ever go to the movies, he stays awake until
he finishes his popcorn and then he's out. Wait.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So he say he has no hobbies, What does he do? Works, works,
comes home, eats, go to bed.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yep, there's no hobbies, Like his only hobbies are other
work tasts like they live out kind of in the country.
So if it's not like mowing the grass or like
fixing something, changing the oil on the truck or doing
something he's a truck driver doing something with his truck.
He has no hobbies, like doesn't watch anything. I mean
(21:52):
he watches TikTok. That's his hobby.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And then my mom, Yeah she doesn't. She she's gotten
more into movies later in life, like she likes to
go into the movies now when we go home, she's like,
take me to a movie, so we'll go see like Zutopia.
Or she's really into horror movies, so we'll go see
a horror movie. But that wasn't a thing growing up.
She would have watched TV shows, but never really into movies.
And I was just always gravitated towards them. I think
(22:17):
me and my older brother and I've just always made
it a point to see everything. Like we would make
lists at the start of every summer back in the day,
like we need to go see all these movies in theaters,
and then now as an adult with a movie podcast,
I just make it a point to see everything. And
with an unlimited past to the movie theater, why would
(22:38):
I not go?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It's true, why would you not go?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Holl of time, I have saved so much money with
that thing, I know. I think movie subscriptions are like
the best thing ever.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Well, especially when you go to movies as much as
you do. Yeah, could you imagine paying for every single movie?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
If they ever took that away, it would greatly change
my life.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, and how you would review things, how you'd do
That's that's crazy. I guess I never realized your family
wasn't really a huge beside your brother.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah. Besides, yeah, everybody else not super into movies.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's funny. Have you thought about trying to get to
be a Rotten Tomatoes person? Lori and Michigan.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't even know that they do submissions anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
They took it away.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I think they took it at least to open to
the public. Maybe they offer it to like people in
the industry that get like invites, But they used to
send out like a like a tweet or just like hey,
the posting of like accepting new critics. They don't even
do that anymore. So now I feel like the whole
system is flawed if they're not taking in new people,
Like who are these even legit anymore?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, so where do you get your ratings from from
other people?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I don't look at other ratings. You don't know. If
I look at a rating going into a movie, I
get influenced. So I don't look at ratings until I've
already recorded my review. Even then I don't I don't
really care, Like I don't want it to influenced me
later and thinking like, oh, should I have? Not like
should I have? Because it could influence me either way.
(24:05):
If I go see a movie and I think it's
terrible and that's my genuine opinion, and then I go
see it as a ninety four on Rotten Tomatoes, I'm like,
maybe I got something wrong. Maybe people are gonna think
I'm stupid of like, how could I think this movie
is not good? But that's my genuine opinion. So then
later I don't want to have to like feel differently
about it. So same with if I go watch a
movie and I really love it, but then I see
(24:26):
it as a forty two and I'm like, well, should
I say I didn't like it just to go with
the other critics, I'm like, no, I'm always gonna say
how I feel. So I'll see like clips of other
people afterwards, like on TikTok of just I like seeing
what other people have to say. Sometimes people offer some
other insight that I'm like, oh, that's cool, because I
also just genuinely love movies. But I also don't want
to steal like other people's opinions or have them influence me.
(24:50):
So I like to get my review out and then.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
And then check things out if you're going to check.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
It, if I'm going to check it out. But some
like I think like Peacock put it on there when
you click the titles of all the movies where it's like,
here's the movie, here's the score, I'm like, I don't
want to know the score.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know what's really funny is like on those ones
where they have it, I'm always like a fan of
the really crappy review once I'm like, I am who
I am?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
And I say that as somebody who gives scores to movies,
and then people want to know the scores. So like,
I understand seeking get out, but I think when you're
actually being the one putting the stuff out, you don't
want to be as influenced. What if I was looking
at a review, like if I want to know like
about a TV show, like TV show is like my
one thing, I'm not going to review it. I don't want.
I don't want to have another thing that I feel
(25:34):
like that I have to watch. So with TV shows,
I'll sometimes go look at.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Scores see and scores hell at least a little bit
with if I should invest that much time in, Like
if a TV show has like eight seasons, like okay,
tell me, is the act for that good? Or am
I going to be disappointed after season two or whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
For me, I I am more than anything. I look
up run times. I just want to know like how
much time and how to like pace my anticipation like
going into it of like okay, kind of know what
I'm getting into here runtime.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
See I don't, cause if I look, then I'm gonna
be sitting at watch looking at my watch like dang,
we're stalling an hour and we got two more hours.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
That's how I time. I time every movie that I
go to. As soon as the first scene starts, I
hit start on my stopwatch on my phone, and then
I like it as an indication of how good the
movie is. Because whenever the first time happens where I'm
like aware that I'm watching a movie and I want
to know how long we're into it, that is a
sign of how entertaining.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It is.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
If I look at my stopwatch and I'm an hour
twenty in, I'm like, WHOA, this movie went by really fast.
It's good. If I think a lot of time has
gone by and I look at my stopwatch and we're
only seventeen minutes in, I'm like, oh boy, this movie
is an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's fair. That's a fair way to help your rating system.
As a normal person, though, who's not writing it anything.
It just makes me be like, dang, we got a
lot of time. I'm like more, and I almost am
like that person if I can't. I'm not supposed to
do something like Sam supposed to go in and enjoy
myself and not be on my I like really want
to be on my phone because you told me not
to be on my phone. I'm that type of person.
(27:04):
So like, if I'm timing now, I'm like, don't look
at it. I want to look at it. Bad about me? Well, Mike,
thanks for joining and it wasn't too bad. No, it
was good, so good now, Niken, Yeah about me, it's
not tell people where they can hear you what you're

What's the best adventure you've been on with Bobby? This
(00:45):
is from Lisa.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Best adventure was moving to la for like three to
four months to you dancing with the stars.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
That feels so like so long ago, and the fact
that you guys truly were living out there for that
portion also feels like a fever dream.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, I think the first three years of me moving
to Nashville and joining the show just feel like I
was never here. It's like a lot of travel, but
that was like that one just distinct memory of being
gone for a long time where we had an apartment
that to me, it felt like because I never had
a college experience where I lived on campus. I didn't
(01:18):
never had a dorm room. That was my college experience
of because it was a relatively small apartment. Essentially, you
walk in, there's a kitchen, a small living room, and
then to the left and right where each of our bedrooms.
They were about the same size bedrooms. So yeah, so
I had a roommate felt like a dorm room split
right down the middle, had like a little balcony, and
(01:40):
we would go to work, we do the radio show,
which felt like going to class, and then he would
go do Dancing with the Stars. I would either go
finish work or go do other stuff, and then we
would just rarely see each other because he would be
gone for so long, or then I would be gone
for so long, and then we would just kind of
come together at the end and then get ready for
(02:02):
the next day. So it just felt like college to me,
that does kind.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Of feel like college. I'm not gonna lie, that's kind
of what it is like. You have a roommate but
you see him in passing.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
We didn't do any laundry because it was like, we
don't have like soap and stuff here, so we were
just kind of getting by as as like two people
living in a door room.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, and because during that stint, did you guys come
back at all? Would you come back to Nashville for
a little, like just like a day or two at
any point in time?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I think looking back, I would. We would come back
randomly because I kind of remember coming back and getting
new clothes at some point, but I also would just
go shop there and would buy new clothes. And we
were also doing like touring at that time too, so
I think that's how we ended up coming back to Nashville.
We would go somewhere tour and then reconvene back in Nashville,
(02:52):
but then end up back in LA.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
That was a crazy time, Yeah, and it feels like
a lifetime ago at the same time, Well.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah, it's twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. Wild wild that that
was now, I mean almost a decade ago.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Oh my gosh, that's crazy. That's just crazy. What is
Mike's normal running schedule when he's not training for a race?
Becca in Virginia.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
I haven't trained for a race in three years, so
I think people will think that I'm constantly training, but
I'm not, Like I'm always kind of itching to do
a marathon, even like right now there's one like coming
up here in like April, and I'm like should I
do it? Should I not do it? So I'm never
I haven't been training for three years. But my normal
run schedule right now is I try to do forty
(03:33):
miles a week.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Okay, never got it? You're literally the same never gotta
get ready if you say ready or whatever.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Totally, it was like I could because my long run
is usually on Sundays. Are always on Sundays, and I'll
do twenty miles that's my long run.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
And then and a marathon is how many.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Twenty six point two?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Okay, it's a lot.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
It's hard. The thing about me is though, like I
can run twenty at like just the cruising speed, but
when I do a marathon, I get too competitive and
then I I start out too fast. It's hard for me.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
To like find your balance.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, I think if I could do if I just
went out and ran a marathon, I would have a
much easier time do it, no problem. But putting myself
in that race setting, I get a little bit too competitive,
Like I know I can go faster, I know, and
go faster, and then I burn out at that mile
twenty where I'm just like, I don't know if I
can finish this. I should have been slower.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Well, hey, you might have a chance in April. It
sounds like, yeah, potentially do it.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
But I'll do that twenty mile long run and then
I'll do another two days of like ten mile runs
and that's my week.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So you'll run three times a week and forty miles.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Total, forty miles roughly. I think this week I did
forty two.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
That's wild.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
But it was also like the first time this week
I've been able to run outside in like two weeks.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, so you're probably really excited.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Because there was snow and there was crap everywhere, and
then when it stopped, it was like super cold.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
So I was like, I just that first forty degree
day we had, I thought I was in Hawaii. Yes,
we had sunshine, and I like walked. I was like,
I don't even care that I'm still a little bit cold,
because this smells awesome outside.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
I mean, I was so excited to run. I think
the first day I ran, it was like twenty five
degrees and I was like, I don't care, Like I
think I've also kind of build up a tolerance to
the cold, or like after about ten minutes, I'm fine,
Like I don't feel cold anymore.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So you could be like one of those I've seen
them when we were like in the ice storm. I
saw people running and they were like short listening shorts,
and I was like, are you insane? Actually insane? That
could be you.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Uh No, I got a bundle up a lot, Like
I'm wearing like full face mask. I have like layers
of stuff to where I see other people out running too,
and they're like just in a long sleeve. I'm like,
I don't know how you do it. I could do
it like all bundled up.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
But yeah, I feel like they're just showing off, you know.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Almost to be from Canada, man, you built different.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
What are Mike's top five running like? What are my
words are hard today for me? What are Mike's top
five favorite running songs, Victorian misery.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Oh, running songs. When I listened to, what I listened
to is a lot of two thousands, punk rock, a
lot of I think my number one running genre is
probably anything from the two thousands, which was probably my
most influential decade. But it's either punk rock nostalgia. Yeah,
you love the nostalgia. What should we talk about in
part one? I don't know that I have specific songs,
(06:18):
I have specific artists. I'll do my top five artists.
Probably at number five is Slipknot because it's really heavy,
really fast, and I usually program it in my like
i'd make a specific playlist every single run, like I'll
pick out all the songs and i'll put a Slipknot
song about where I know I'm a halfway point and
(06:38):
you need like a I need something to like charge
me up to get me back, because I'll usually do
the method where you run one half one way and
then just turn around and come back instead of doing
a loop. So like I need that motivation to know
I'm about to see the exact same course, So I'd put.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Slipknot at number They're like screama right.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Metal, little bit new metal, but they screen though like
to like, Okay, so I'd put Slipknot at five. At
number four, I would probably put Blank on eighty two.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
All the small things are that song in there.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Nah, I'm gonna sound like an elitist fan, but I
don't usually put any of the singles in there.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Okay, So you like deep cuts.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Yeah, I like the deep cuts, so I'd put Blank
on eighty two at four. At number three, I mean,
look at my last running playlist here.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I get it though, because I whenever I work out,
if I ever do intense workouts, I need upbeat, like
tempo stuff to keep up with my pace when I'm
doing things.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
At number three, I would probably I have an eighties
hardcore playlist that I pick from. So it's like eighties
hardcore punk bands like Black Flag and Minor Threat.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
And I don't know I ever heard of them.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Yeah, this is a lot of this is stuff that
I just grew up listening to. So at number three,
I'm just gonna put eighties hardcore.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Eighties hardcore, which is like misfits.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Say those names again, misfits. Let's see what else is
on here. Black Flag one of my favorite hardcore bands
and probably the Descendants, which I.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Think not the Disney Descendants.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Different descendants of a video people still reference a lot.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
To me.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Was the last time I went to one of their
shows and I was in a match pit, I was
watching the Descendants, Okay, Okay, so eighties hardcore at three.
At number two, Wu Tang as I listened to a
lot of Wu Tang like Wu Tang Clan, Wu Tang Clan.
Those those songs get me like hype because.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
They don't put out new music anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Right, they haven't put uh, they haven't put out music
since like twenty fourteen. Okay, so a lot of this
is like basically one of their albums from the nineties,
enter the Wu Tang that I can just pick any
song on that or run to you, okay. And then
at number one, it's oddly going to be a band
that nobody listens to. So I'll say Post Malon because
(08:54):
Post Milan is on here do you okay? It's it's
a band called Banner Pilot and they were pretty big
in the mid two thousands, and I the first time,
like my band ever had a legit show. We opened
for Banner Pilot, Like the first time our band was
on a physical ticket, which was, like I thought, we
(09:16):
made it moment. So for those who don't know, I
was a leite singer in a punk band, and that
was the whole reason I moved to Austin, Texas, where
it ended up meeting Bobby, because we wanted to do music.
Austin obviously has a great live music scene, so for
the first three years that I was living there, I
was playing in shows all the time, playing in a band,
(09:36):
and we got a show for somehow they let us
open for Banner Pilot, who was to us like really
awesome because they were on this big indie punk label
that was like the mecca for any punk band, and
we got to open for them, and we had an
actual physical ticket, which you don't really get anymore, but
back then, if you had like an actual physical ticket,
that meant you were playing a legit show.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, And did you get a meet ban Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
They were really cool, really nice to us, and then
it was an awesome show. And they've been one of
my favorite Like it's weird that they're not even one
of my favorite bands, but I listened to them so
much that if you looked at my playlist, because a
lot of my top songs are songs that I run to.
I don't think I've ever done a run without them
on my playlist.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Now, are they still making new music?
Speaker 3 (10:21):
No, I think they stopped making music probably around twenty eleven.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Okay, so most of yours are they're like old songs
that you used to listen to.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Yeah, very rarely will I sprinkle in new If I
do sprinkle in new stuff, it usually doesn't stick. There'll
be like some new songs in rotation. But like my
core running music is all two thousands, maybe a little
bit of twenty tens.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Okay, let me ask you this. Have you ever heard
of Tech nine? Yes, you have Tech nine in your playoffs?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
No, there they feel like a little bit they could
I would say, that's WU Tank adjacent, Okay, and.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Like just like they have a little bit of scream sometimes,
but they're mostly wrap.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah. I'd say the most modern artists that I put
on my playlist consistently is Tyler the Creator.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Yeah, you like him. I would imagine he's in one
of your top artists.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
He's a top ten Yeah yeah, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Hey, you know, everybody just discovered some new.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Music today, and I know some people who run to podcast, like,
oh yeah, some people run to our show and I'm like,
thank you for the support. But I could not listen
to people talking while running.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I could do it while walking.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, Like sometimes at the gym, towards the end of
a workout, I'll listen to a podcast. But running just
to me is like I need to escape. I need
to have something pushing me along.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Or if I'm like lifting heavyweight, it has to be
like something to like push me forward, not like talking.
In my ears.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
There's probably somebody running now listening to this. How are
you doing it?
Speaker 2 (11:50):
But you know what some people are like, That's why
everybody has different motivations, So I get it. Is there
a moving update? This is from Alyssa in Illinois.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
There is we have to move. I think the person
who owns our house is gonna sell it, so we're
actually in the active hunt of looking for a place
to live. We have like a scheduled showing next week.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Wait, so how long do you have until you have
to move?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I have to move out by the end of May.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Okay, so we got time.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
Yeah, we have this place till the end of May.
So like right now is a little I would say
a little too early to be looking. But like in
that sweet spot, if we do find a place, hopefully
we could still get it around then. So the problem
is we found a place that we really like, have
a showing next week, and we fall into in love
with it that if we don't get it, we're going
to be like, man, we envisioned our whole next year
(12:37):
there already.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, and that's hard. That what's hard about it too,
Timelines have to add up to make sure it's like
you're not paying two places at the same time for
no reason. It's hard. Moving is hard, honestly, Like there,
I wish I could tell you there's like good with moving.
The good it happens after the move happens.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, I'm like trying to in my head of just like, okay,
it'll just be a little it would be like a
couple of months that kind of sucked in that trans
transition process. But then I'm like trying to put myself
in the future already. But I also, we don't have
a lot of stuff, which is kind of nice.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That is nice. You guys are minimalists.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Pretty recently I went through like just getting rid of
a bunch of stuff. I had this kind of breakdown
where I was fixing something in our closet and my
entire closet just went all the way down. Everything fell
and like the shells broke and there was all this stuff,
and I was like, why do I even have all
this stuff? And I donated what could be donated and
(13:32):
then just trashed other stuff because like from when I
moved to Nashville, I packed up all my stuff and
what didn't fit in my Ford focus did not make
it here. I moved here with just what fit in there,
no moving truck, nothing, And I've always kind of kept
a box from each place that I've had, and it's
been like maybe three places now since then, and I'm like,
(13:54):
why have I been holding on to all these things?
I'm like, I'm going to do something with it eventually,
but it's this same brown box that I packed up
in twenty sixteen leaving college. I'm like, why do I
need this stuff? So I finally just got rid of
all these random things that I've been holding on to
that won't serve me in any way.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Are they like, were they memories? Were they certain items
of clothes?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
It was like old headphones, cables that I thought I needed,
some old clothing that I've had for a long time,
a lot of just like random books that I'm like,
I've already read and I have no real reason to
keep them. So it was just like a box of
essentially junk. So now I cleaned out that entire closet
where there's nothing in there anymore, like on the shelves,
and all it is is like basically a coat closet.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's awesome. That feels good when you have it. Yeah,
and when you what really feels good about when you
get rid of stuff is you really realized you didn't
need it. There's nothing worse than getting rid of something
you're like, dang it.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I've never felt that way, like I shouldn't have got
rid of that.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
It's happened maybe twice in my life. And it was
really because it was like a fashion item that was
like a It could have been a staple in my
closet and I got rid of it because of space
or I was moving or whatever, and I was like,
m I really should have like kept that, And I
wasn't understanding, like you know, where you have your staples
in your clause At the time, I didn't know anything
about that, So I think that's the only two things.
(15:12):
But it's really cool when you get rid of stuff
and you're like, I don't even care about that stuff.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
I think it also helps you with not spending money
on stupid things down the line, because when you realize
that you bought all these things that maybe you wore
once or thought it was a good idea on the time,
you second guess the things you buy later. I'm like,
is this gonna be something that's just gonna end up
in the closet, me not wearing it, me not using it.
It has kept me from buying new things that I
(15:37):
haven't bought anything since that, and that was like months ago.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
That's impressive that you're not wrong. I feel the same way.
Are we gonna take a quick break. We'll be right
back with a few more questions. JP and Florida is
coming out taking shots and not at you.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Oh okay, totally. I was nervous.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Yeah, don't be nervous. He wants to know how bad
is Eddie's Spanish. I don't think.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Eddie's Spanish is that bad, okay, because I've heard him
have conversations with people that he could hold his own. Like,
I think the hard thing about Spanish now for me
is that I don't get to speak it that often
that even me, I feel rusty and just speaking it.
Understanding it's still one hundred percent, but it's one of
(16:21):
those things if you don't practice it all the time,
you kind of lose it a little bit. As far
as like being able to speak it on the level
of I couldn't do like a radio show in Spanish
right now because you have to speak so well. I
can't even speak English, but you can have to speak
like so well and precise and know every single just everything,
and be able to speak it in a smart way,
(16:43):
because it is a language that if you don't speak
it perfect, people will ribby in the shreds. So people
are very critical about Spanish. So and I think when
it comes to Eddie, I actually think he speaks it
pretty well. But I think the difference between maybe some
things that hurt him is unlike me, he doesn't understand
all of it, where if he's speaking to somebody in Spanish,
(17:06):
they could say something that he just doesn't know what
they are saying. Is that pretty That doesn't happen to me,
Like I'll get tripped up on like what's the Spanish
word for this again, and I'll have to remember. And
there's also just like this weird translation thing in my
brain where I know what it means in Spanish, but
there are some phrases that don't translate to English, so
I couldn't really tell you exactly what it means, even
(17:27):
though like I know what it means. It's just like
somebody telling you something in English that is so specific.
Maybe it's like to the South, like we have a
lot of weird phrases in the South that we try
to translate that to another language. It'd be really weird
explaining that bless your heart, bless your heart, Like I
don't know what that would be, like, how would I
translate that. Yeah, there's just these sayings, and especially when
it comes to some slang, that stuff that I've learned
(17:49):
over the years from like my parents, where it's probably
even like an insight slang joke between like our family
that has become a part of my vocabulary that I
would say, and people like, what are you talk talking about?
The almost its laying up picked up over the years.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
That's interesting. That's interesting that that's how it shows in languages.
And I could totally see it. I mean even when
I was studying French, like the way that they would
go thing go about things, there were certain words that
would change in very particular situations. I'm like, so you're
telling me for that one word, I got to remember
it six different ways for what? Why not that the
(18:24):
English language is much better because ours also doesn't make
sense to me? The English language to me, like, I
am such a I love. I'm hooked on phonics kid, right,
So that's how I learned the English language. And I
would learn by sounding things out. The English language, you
don't actually sound things out. If you've ever looked at
pronouncing a word, it's never how you sound it out.
(18:47):
It's like the exact opposite. So no, that ever really
makes sense. But I think I can see where that
would cause problems, especially if you're not using it every day.
Languages are so important to be you every day, it
makes it hard to continue to keep up with it.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, I think my biggest practice now is I call
when I call my parents, like, I was like, that's
my time to speak Spanish. And I also think about
whenever we have kids, I want them to know both languages.
And I'm like, if I want them to learn. I'm
going to have to re up my abilities and maybe
I don't know, even take a or probably just spend
(19:24):
more time with my parents speaking with them that I
could be able to teach them. I think that's important
for me.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Heck, yeah it is again because we're the only one.
I keep saying, we like born in America and don't
have our descendants are far away. But that way, like
my German descendants are from gods decades ago, so I
don't have a lot of German speaking in my family.
But like, we don't have more than one language, and
(19:51):
we should. We should, we should have five languages. We're
smart enough, we can figure it out. We have enough education.
Let's speak five languages. So yes, dual languages is the
best place to start. And then if they have they
fall in love with tw languages, they're probably gonna want
to learn more. That's that's the beauty of that too.
So I love that you just sit them with mom
and dad for the summers. Yeah, well, hang out, learn
(20:13):
it all. What got you so interested in seeing so
many movies? Mary Ann and Lisa from California kind of
sounded like Mary and Wanda, but it's.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
I think I've just always loved watching movies, and not
just watching them at home, but the actual going to
the movie theater. And I think there's just something where
I don't know if it's like I still associated with
my childhood or I just I don't really see it.
I do can't do anything else, Like watching movies to
(20:48):
me is like breathing.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
At this point. Or was that always the case?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I think always the case. Like I found like an
old journal I had back in two thousand and eight
that I was so into watching movies even then.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Was your family into watching movies?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Not really like my I don't think my dad's ever
sat through an entire movie. My dad has no hobbies.
He doesn't watch TV shows much less a movie. If
we ever go to the movies, he stays awake until
he finishes his popcorn and then he's out. Wait.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
So he say he has no hobbies, What does he do? Works, works,
comes home, eats, go to bed.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Yep, there's no hobbies, Like his only hobbies are other
work tasts like they live out kind of in the country.
So if it's not like mowing the grass or like
fixing something, changing the oil on the truck or doing
something he's a truck driver doing something with his truck.
He has no hobbies, like doesn't watch anything. I mean
(21:52):
he watches TikTok. That's his hobby.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And then my mom, Yeah she doesn't. She she's gotten
more into movies later in life, like she likes to
go into the movies now when we go home, she's like,
take me to a movie, so we'll go see like Zutopia.
Or she's really into horror movies, so we'll go see
a horror movie. But that wasn't a thing growing up.
She would have watched TV shows, but never really into movies.
And I was just always gravitated towards them. I think
(22:17):
me and my older brother and I've just always made
it a point to see everything. Like we would make
lists at the start of every summer back in the day,
like we need to go see all these movies in theaters,
and then now as an adult with a movie podcast,
I just make it a point to see everything. And
with an unlimited past to the movie theater, why would
(22:38):
I not go?
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It's true, why would you not go?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Holl of time, I have saved so much money with
that thing, I know. I think movie subscriptions are like
the best thing ever.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Well, especially when you go to movies as much as
you do. Yeah, could you imagine paying for every single movie?
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
If they ever took that away, it would greatly change
my life.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, and how you would review things, how you'd do
That's that's crazy. I guess I never realized your family
wasn't really a huge beside your brother.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Yeah. Besides, yeah, everybody else not super into movies.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
That's funny. Have you thought about trying to get to
be a Rotten Tomatoes person? Lori and Michigan.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I don't even know that they do submissions anymore.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
They took it away.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I think they took it at least to open to
the public. Maybe they offer it to like people in
the industry that get like invites, But they used to
send out like a like a tweet or just like hey,
the posting of like accepting new critics. They don't even
do that anymore. So now I feel like the whole
system is flawed if they're not taking in new people,
Like who are these even legit anymore?
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, so where do you get your ratings from from
other people?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Now?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I don't look at other ratings. You don't know. If
I look at a rating going into a movie, I
get influenced. So I don't look at ratings until I've
already recorded my review. Even then I don't I don't
really care, Like I don't want it to influenced me
later and thinking like, oh, should I have? Not like
should I have? Because it could influence me either way.
(24:05):
If I go see a movie and I think it's
terrible and that's my genuine opinion, and then I go
see it as a ninety four on Rotten Tomatoes, I'm like,
maybe I got something wrong. Maybe people are gonna think
I'm stupid of like, how could I think this movie
is not good? But that's my genuine opinion. So then
later I don't want to have to like feel differently
about it. So same with if I go watch a
movie and I really love it, but then I see
(24:26):
it as a forty two and I'm like, well, should
I say I didn't like it just to go with
the other critics, I'm like, no, I'm always gonna say
how I feel. So I'll see like clips of other
people afterwards, like on TikTok of just I like seeing
what other people have to say. Sometimes people offer some
other insight that I'm like, oh, that's cool, because I
also just genuinely love movies. But I also don't want
to steal like other people's opinions or have them influence me.
(24:50):
So I like to get my review out and then.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
And then check things out if you're going to check.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
It, if I'm going to check it out. But some
like I think like Peacock put it on there when
you click the titles of all the movies where it's like,
here's the movie, here's the score, I'm like, I don't
want to know the score.
Speaker 2 (25:06):
You know what's really funny is like on those ones
where they have it, I'm always like a fan of
the really crappy review once I'm like, I am who
I am?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
And I say that as somebody who gives scores to movies,
and then people want to know the scores. So like,
I understand seeking get out, but I think when you're
actually being the one putting the stuff out, you don't
want to be as influenced. What if I was looking
at a review, like if I want to know like
about a TV show, like TV show is like my
one thing, I'm not going to review it. I don't want.
I don't want to have another thing that I feel
(25:34):
like that I have to watch. So with TV shows,
I'll sometimes go look at.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Scores see and scores hell at least a little bit
with if I should invest that much time in, Like
if a TV show has like eight seasons, like okay,
tell me, is the act for that good? Or am
I going to be disappointed after season two or whatever?
Speaker 3 (25:49):
For me, I I am more than anything. I look
up run times. I just want to know like how
much time and how to like pace my anticipation like
going into it of like okay, kind of know what
I'm getting into here runtime.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
See I don't, cause if I look, then I'm gonna
be sitting at watch looking at my watch like dang,
we're stalling an hour and we got two more hours.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
That's how I time. I time every movie that I
go to. As soon as the first scene starts, I
hit start on my stopwatch on my phone, and then
I like it as an indication of how good the
movie is. Because whenever the first time happens where I'm
like aware that I'm watching a movie and I want
to know how long we're into it, that is a
sign of how entertaining.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
It is.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
If I look at my stopwatch and I'm an hour
twenty in, I'm like, WHOA, this movie went by really fast.
It's good. If I think a lot of time has
gone by and I look at my stopwatch and we're
only seventeen minutes in, I'm like, oh boy, this movie
is an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
That's fair. That's a fair way to help your rating system.
As a normal person, though, who's not writing it anything.
It just makes me be like, dang, we got a
lot of time. I'm like more, and I almost am
like that person if I can't. I'm not supposed to
do something like Sam supposed to go in and enjoy
myself and not be on my I like really want
to be on my phone because you told me not
to be on my phone. I'm that type of person.
(27:04):
So like, if I'm timing now, I'm like, don't look
at it. I want to look at it. Bad about me? Well, Mike,
thanks for joining and it wasn't too bad. No, it
was good, so good now, Niken, Yeah about me, it's
not tell people where they can hear you what you're
talking about your podcast and talk to you.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Talking about movies. I do new movie reviews every week.
I also do like a movie history segment and then

coming out, so it's a little bit past president in
future movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
