On a snowy Friday night following an 84-degree day (only in Denver, right?), we welcomed back fan-favorite guest, producer, beatmaker, and all-around solid dude—Fat Trak! He brought along some seriously adorable music created by his students, plus he blessed us with two exclusive unreleased tracks he finished just the night before.

Tony admits he loves to freestyle to Fat Trak’s beats… so naturally, Fat calls him out to drop a verse on the spot. Did Tony deliver? Well, you’ll have to listen and judge for yourself. Let us know in the comments!

Fat also shares some stories from his recent trip to Japan, where he went digging for records—and explains how those finds are shaping his upcoming release. He opens up about the emotions fueling the project, and then plays a track that left us almost speechless. (C’mon, we’re a podcast… we’ve always got something to say!)

This episode was a ride—heart, humor, and straight-up heat. Fat Trak showed up and showed out, letting us get to know him even better in his second visit to The Mike and Tony Show.

Oh, and we managed to sneak in some listener-submitted Dad jokes, Fun Facts, and a few other surprises too.

Cheers,

Tony’s waist-deep in CMAS testing, but it’s a beautiful Saturday morning—so the mics are hot and the nonsense is flowing!

This week: Mike’s getting lean for summer, Tony’s wife is running a full-time renovation empire, and Mike took a little field trip to the History of Colorado Museum. That somehow led us into a deep dive on the joys of having multiple landline phones in the same house in the 1990s.

We also covered the Denver Nuggets’ firing of head coach Michael Malone, the sudden collapse of a 100-year-old, long-preserved Mexican pyramid (thanks, global warming), and had a chilling conversation about an extinct wolf the size of a grizzly bear.

All that craziness, Fun Facts, the Trump Tariffs, and much, much more!

Thanks for listening!

Cheers,

Episode 226: “Rooted in Reality”

In this episode, we sit down with Staff Sargeant Lacy McDonald and Raven for a deep and wide-ranging conversation that touches on everything from food sustainability to the state of education in America. Lacy shares powerful insights from his work with The Big Green Dow and Kimbal Musk, and reflects on the impact he’s had—and continues to have—on the people around him. Raven takes us into her world of homesteading in Humboldt, California, offering a unique perspective on living closer to the earth and questioning the fragility of modern society.

We explore what it means to live without modern luxuries, the importance of knowing where your food comes from, and the glaring lack of Black men in education. Along the way, we confront our own missteps—apologizing for getting duped by misinformation about ancient structures—and talk about the broader issue of how social media can distort the truth. We also touch on recent political headlines, including Trump’s alarming comments about a potential third term, and return to a central theme: the importance of learning and staying grounded in what’s real.

This episode is a thoughtful reminder of the power of intentional living, honest conversation, and critical thinking.

Cheers!
