Mike is joined by Brando, Co-Founder of CashorTrade.org. Brando & his brother Dusty developed an idea into a digital game changer in the world of fair ticket trading & selling.

Days before Phish's Curveball Festival was cancelled, Mike had the opportunity to talk to one of the most important characters in the long, strange story of the Grateful Dead, the one & only Sam Cutler. Sam brought the Dead to a whole other level of touring, success, and fame. Utilizing the tools he picked up working with the Rolling Stones, he was able to steer the Ship of Fools into new waters, and any Deadhead owes him a big thanks! Enjoy Hosted on Acast.

While on board the Impractical Jokers Cruise, Mike & Cipha take a break from performing to talk music, perseverance, reading a room, and taking advantage of every opportunity to learn. Cipha is an NYC legend, whether you know him from his days on Hot 97.1 or as the host of TruTV's Laff Mob's Laff Tracks, or as a regular at the Comedy Cellar. But I know Cipha as a genuinely great dude with an interesting story. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In late 2017, Mike was joined by Headcount.org Co-Founder and author of the Pharmer's Almanac Andy Bernstein to talk about the advent of the grassroots mission to register music fans to vote, which has now grown to immeasurable success and is transcending genres. They also wax poetic about Andy's legendary work on The Pharmer's Almanac and how Andy first found the music and life he loves. Andy is amazing so check out the episode and enjoy! Hosted on Acast.
