'Piledrivers in the Crypt' x 'The Kayfabe Zone'

Daniel survives another Thanksgiving by weaponizing spite, reading your possessed-poultry emails, and dragging us all back to Chernobyl where Mothman apparently moonlights as a safety inspector. The Mikes on Mics finally crawl out of whatever cornfield abduction they were enjoying, grace us with their presence for exactly one episode like the prodigal fanboys they are, and spend twenty minutes simping harder for John Cena than a 14-year-old at a 1998 Backstreet Boys concert. Happy Thanksgiving! I hope the Black Bird pairs great with cranberry sauce...Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

Halloween is over. The pumpkins are rotting, your candy hangover has settled into the marrow, and guess what? We’re not done. Not even close. This week on Piledrivers in the Crypt, we’re crawling into the vault of cinema — the realhorrors. The reels that were burned, buried, locked away, or politely swept under the studio rug because apparently “society can’t handle that.”Meanwhile, the Mikes from Mikes on Mics are mysteriously absent. Are they sick? Busy? Dead? No. They’re probably under a blanket like the trembling little Blanket Baby Boys they are. It’s fine. I’ll carry the show. Like always.Welcome back to the darkness. It missed you.Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

Trick or treat, you sexy witches and you ugly, rotting ghouls… it’s Halloween.And honestly—fuck the last few months. We don’t care. The network doesn’t care.It’s Halloween, and that’s all that matters.So the Mikes and I did the only thing that made sense in this flaming madhouse of a year:We came together to give you the special you actually deserve.Please… have a safe and happy Halloween—because we sure as hell won’t.And for the love of all things unholy…do not let it involve blankets.Over babies.Seriously.Don’t.Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

This week, we go out in style — or at least in sarcasm. The Wormhole is wide open, and somehow the Mikes made it back through — though Mike S looks like he aged three centuries...Nothing says “Halloween spirit” like trying to make sense of Vince Russo’s booking logic while surrounded by demons.And if that’s not horrifying enough, we’ve got five brand-new listener horror stories straight from you — the brave souls who keep proving that reality is way sicker than anything we could make up.Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

The Mikes talk about.. Wrestling.. I guess? And...Just when you thought it was safe to defrost Grandma’s leftovers… I drag you screaming into Part Two of the Halloween Story Special — five new tales straight from The Wormhole that will ruin your appetite, your sanity, and possibly your relationship with CM Punk.Because here in the Crypt, we don’t just tell ghost stories—we deep fry them and serve them with a side of trauma.Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

Life changes. Body changes. Paranormal rebrands. True crime dead-ends. Basically: one wrong street, one wrong date, one wrong snack at 7-Eleven and—boom—you’re the next cold case file.Also, the Mikes on Mics give their predictions for Wrestlepalooza.

This week on Piledrivers in the Crypt, we’re talking about mushrooms. Not the fun pizza kind… no, we’re diving into the fungal nightmares that want to crawl up your spine and wear you like a sock puppet. And just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder… enter Woooooo!… a flamboyant Grey Alien. Meanwhile, the Mikes decided the world really needed their take on WrestleMania in Saudi Arabia. Nothing screams “family-friendly entertainment” like oil money, fireworks, and a show that lasts longer than my will to live. Horrors so soul-crushing you’ll start begging for another 4-hour Crown Jewel replay just to feel alive again. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Podbean—basically everywhere you can avoid real human contact. Or go to : www.danielgrothe.us New episode. Out now. Go press play—or I’ll make that Grey Alien chop you across the chest until you’re coughing up spores.Please consider helping Mikey & my little family:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...

Bikinis, BBQs… and bloodshed. It’s summer, baby. And guess what? The sun’s trying to kill you. Not the government. Not your neighbor. Not some guy on a podcast screaming about lizard people and fluoride. Nope. Just our good ol’ flaming death orb in the sky turning the Earth into a microwaved Hot Pocket of doom.Meanwhile… over at the Kayfabe Zone with the Mikes on Mics... things are getting way too political. Like C-Span but with concussions levels of political. I don’t know what they’re doing over there. I’m just trying to talk about solar flares, skin melting off, ritual BBQs, and how sunscreen is probably a lie.Let me be your vacation ruiner, not your political commentator.Also—cry for help incoming—My dog Mikey has a serious heart condition. I’m out here podcasting through existential heatstroke while trying to afford his meds. If you enjoy the show and want to keep Mikey alive and adorable, please consider donating. Or don’t, and I’ll tell him it’s your fault when he looks at me with his sad eyes.🎧 LISTEN NOW or spontaneously combust trying:👉 www.danielgrothe.us👉 www.danielgrothe.net👉 www.danielgrothe.atPlease consider helping Mikey:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”

This week: the infamous Glass Box Killer. Yes, you read that right—someone out there is turning murder into an IKEA DIY project.Meanwhile, the Mikes on Mics sweat their way through the facts of Money in the Bank. Nothing says “summer fun” like men in spandex trying to avoid third-degree burns from steel ladders. Spoiler: the only thing hotter than the action is the collective body odor in that arena.AND—for the love of everything gory and unholy—if you want to help a real fighter, toss a coin to my dog Mikey’s fundraiser.#TrueCrime #Wrestling #PiledriversInTheCrypt #GlassBoxKiller #MoneyInTheBank #Podcast #Sarcasm #SupportMikey #TheKayfabeZone #DogFundraiser #SendMeToHell (the brand, not my current mood… mostly)Please consider helping Mikey:> Website: https://danielgrothe.at/help-mikeys-heart> GoFund.Me: https://gofund.me/46b0b4fb> PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/...“The darkness is your best friend… because you can hide in it.”->  Listen to the Archive here! @ danielgrothe.us /.net /.atLet Daniel ...
