The Honk Man

Honk, honk, folks! Mike Mitchell (of Doughboys fame) stops by the "studio" to hang with Kevin and the Spleen, and things immediately spiral in the best way. We cover the sacred art of recording ads in your closet, why the future of podcasting is probably just one guy who sleeps and streams in the same room, and how to know your favorite sponsor might secretly be a evil corporation. Mike opens up about long COVID, food noise, GLP-1s, losing (and regaining, and re-losing) 100 pounds, and why "doing it the right way" is a myth big guys tell themselves before caving and trying the miracle shot anyway. We also get the full origin story of Mike's path from Catholic-guilt theater kid to UCB sketch guy to being cast in a Chris Pratt movie because of a podcast success story... Plus some hard truths about writing alone in a room slowly convincing yourself you're a nightmare human being. Naturally, we cap things off with a deeply important lightning round of Doughboys style fork ratings covering drinks, streaming services, and the Irish Potato Famine.
