S5 EP2: Grace, Glitter, and Gophers — Mike Tentis Sings and Shines

from Spirit Talk Show - Bedtime Stories for Grown Ups · host Doyle - STS

In a Spirit Talk Show first, we welcome the incomparable Mike Tentis—marketer, storyteller, chorus veteran, and now... impromptu singer! That’s right: this episode features the debut of live singing on the show, and Mike doesn’t hold back. From turfgrass to choral harmonies, Mike shares his rich journey from Midwestern roots to Sacramento's LGBTQ+ stage. Along the way, he treats us to heartfelt reflections, a soulful tribute story (so good he wants it read at his funeral!), a hilarious tale of gopher-infused love on the golf course, and a Minnesota cow named Bessie with opinions about oat milk and sequins. With wit, warmth, and surprise vocals, Mike shows us what it means to live with humor, harmony, and grace. This is an episode full of laughter, insight—and yes, a musical number or two. Don't miss the one where the chorus came alive... and so did the moo.
