Our guest is a prolific touring comedian from Detroit, co-host of one of the most popular weekly shows in Colorado, ‘Thick Skin’, and someone with more stories than he can even remember — Mike Stanley! 

Check out his upcoming dates at MikeStanleyComedian.com — Be sure to go follow him on Instagram @Mike_Stanley & TikTok @SirMikeStanley

We talked about Mike’s funny family, growing up playing in a band, and his eternal love for hardcore music.  After drudging through a quick review of what is happening in the world, we stumble onto an idea for a secular social currency, try to muster up hope for the next generation, and wonder about the end game for these billionaires.  Stick around for Mike’s legendary story of going to EVERY concert for a summer with all his buddies.  In an era of paper money for paper tickets, Mike’s blank stack of tickets was better than gold.  Adjusted for inflation, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a nominally larger Ticketmaster hater than younger Mike Stanley.  King. 

Thank you to Mike for being someone I can always look up to, both in how he carries himself as a professional comedian, and for how he treats others. I appreciate his generosity to come on our show, share some laughs over smoked chicken wings, and for bringing his awesomely bright light into this ever-darkening world.
