In the fall, we held a fan contest with our sponsor Bravo Tip or Pay. Participants entered by registering their Bravo accounts with the referral code “MS23.” Winners were chosen at random in the winter. Tyler and Bronson from Minnesota were the lucky fans to be selected, and so we flew the two of them to Stevenson Ranch to join us for an episode. Now, they sit down with Mike and Jon to talk about the state of the podcast, the benefits of living in Los Angeles, and the mentality they all carry from their respective hometowns.

Known for having one of the best sliders in Major League Baseball, Chris Archer has made a living by winning clutch games and competing for strikeout titles. Formerly known for as a pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays, Archer was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the deadline in 2018. Since then, he has unfortunately battled waves of random injuries and setbacks. Now, after a fully healthy offseason, Archer is showing up to Spring Training camp stronger and more confident than ever. He is ready to show the doubters he is still a leader and is willing to put the team on his back to get them where they need to be. Just don’t call it a comeback.

The guys discuss the Coronavirus, the Grammy winners, Kobe Bryant, and the Astros scandal accompanied by a phone call with Cleveland Indians right hander Mike Clevinger.

As a young CEO millionaire of Atlanta Hip-hop management company, Street Execs, he sold millions of records, changed the trajectory of how to market to millennials, and guided the careers of influential artists like Grammy award winning 2Chainz. However, while all the success was pouring in, he battled depression, binge eating, crippling insecurities and a brain tumor. To everyone on the outside, CEO Charlie was crushing it. On the inside, he was dying. Unhealthy, unhappy and unfilled, Charlie retired in 2017 at the age of 29 from both the music industry and the name “CEO Charlie”. He made the decision to reinvent his life in pursuit of his childhood dream to become an athlete. AND FROM THE FLAMES EMERGED CHARLIE ROCKET, Charlie Rocket inspires those around him. He’s lost 135 pounds. Became vegan. Ran 3 marathons. Reversed the growth of his brain tumor. Became an Ironman. Just finished his nationally known Dream Machine bike tour across America. Is currently on the cover of Runner’s World Magazine and secured

As we begin a new year, the crew looks back and reviews the 2019 Pornhub analytics. Kilmer defends Dwayne Johnson as today's most impactful human being (and fails), we answers some fan mail, and Mike tells a tour story that you wont want to miss.

Ilya Pozin is a serial entrepreneur who immigrated to America in 1991 when he was 8 years old. He started his first company when he was only 17 years old. The company was a digital agency called Ciplex, which later sold for $1.5 million dollars.  Still with a wealth of ideas, he created his second company called Open Me, a social greeting and gifting company that sold in 2016 for $6 million dollars.  With his third company, Ilya knew that he had something special to offer the world, and Viacom recognized this too. Pluto TV, America’s leading free streaming television service eventually sold to the multinational mass media conglomerate for $340 million dollars. Ilya is a true representation of the American dream, but more importantly, a loving father to his two young girls. Every day he encourages his daughters to strive for their goals, because the man who immigrated to the United States was certainly able to achieve his.

In 2010, a new rapper came on the scene. He was a division 1 baseball player, and had the name of a male stripper. Ah yes... the birth of Mike Stud. The gang reminisces over the past 10 years, and Mike hits everyone with a big info bomb on what's to come. 

Kilmer tapes a 40 oz Budweiser to his hand. Chug buds are finally on sale. Foley rejoins the gang, as the three discuss Christmas lists, peaks of their decade, and tour clips from Fargo, North Dakota. 

This week, Mike sits down to have a one on one conversation with Evan Eckenrode, who is also known as the famous viral internet star Dwarf Mamba. You will find Eckenrode has had a unique journey to fame, first starting out making comedic Vines that mainly highlighted the challenges he faces with dwarfism.

Mike recounts the past week touring with Post Malone and playing beer pong games with $50,000 dollars at stake. We then dive in on the new Tesla Cyber truck, the NBA's schedule and playoff format changes, and open up the Steve Hotline to fans. 

Mike sits down with Rob Mac, long time trainer who has worked with NBA's best, including Kevin Durant, Steph Curry, Kevin Love, and more. Oh yeah, and they're both from Cranston, Rhode Island.

Mike’s back from his trip to Dallas, and he’s got stories to tell. There’s Posty Fest, the Dallas Mavs game, and many, many beer bong races. However, this won’t just be a show of locker room talk (even though those are always certified gold), we’re also opening back up the Steve Hotline. This podcast is about life, and understanding there is only one absolute when we think about what the future holds: ya neva know, eva.

If you’re a Steve, then this week’s guest needs no introduction. Brendan Schaub is sitting down this week to talk shop with Mike. You’ll find Schaub doesn’t listen to the noise of the outside world. When he sets his mind to something, he makes sure he sees it all the way through. Schaub’s had his hangups, just like Mike and everyone else, but he has continued on the path to success by knowing how to bounce back. All in all, Schaub doesn’t look back. He looks forward.

He's been nicknamed "the Lebron of baseball". And, for good reason. Greene signed a professional contract in 2017 with the Reds at the signing deadline, forgoing his commitment to UCLA, for a $7.23 million signing bonus, the largest bonus given out during the slotting system that began in 2012, and the largest bonus since Gerrit Cole received an $8 million bonus in 2011. 

If you didn't grow up watching The Sandlot, then you're not an American. From kissing Wendy Peffercorn at the neighborhood pool to drinking ice cold Bud Lights on our couch, Squints dropped by and chopped it up with us at the Stevenson Ranch for an afternoon of nostalgia and super strong weed. 

We couldn't go another week without having our long time friend, and colleague, Huey Mack on the show. A West Virginia native, Mike and the gang have been getting into mischief with this fellow rapper for nearly 7 years now. Finally they sit down, and recount some of their favorite stories. 

We know he spent a season on The Bachelorette, then Bachelor In Paradise, and finally on The Bachelor as the big guy. But outside of all the spotlight and the noise, Colton has not had much time to let people know his full story. I mention this because, for the past two years, his interviews have had a Bachelor lens on them. And that is totally ok. But in this weeks episode, you will get to see an entirely different side of Colton. You will find he loves the entertainment game. You will find out how tv helped Colton discover himself. Above all, you will see how to handle life when it throws a curveball at you.
