What happens when you mix high-potency mushroom gummies, helicopter dangling, and forgotten hits from the 1970s? The latest MT Alternative Podcast delivers all that and more as Mike and Tom embark on another mind-altering journey through random topics and musical nostalgia.
The hosts kick things off with their ongoing "scientific experiment" involving mushroom gummies, creating the perfect mindset for their signature tangential conversations. They quickly dive into a passionate rant about Tesla protesters who destroy the very electric vehicles they once celebrated – a perfect example of what Mike and Tom see as leftist hypocrisy in action. As they note, "The irony or the hypocrisy, or both... you already paid for it, you stupid ass."
The highlight of this episode comes in two parts. First, Troy joins for an interview where he details his long-standing feud with Squeak – a rivalry that began when Squeak catapulted "an ungodly amount of marshmallow fluff and rainbow sprinkles" onto Troy's beloved 1995 Civic. The animosity between them has now reached legendary status, with Troy declaring, "Some grudges are bigger than us."
Later, the podcast showcases five forgotten gems from 1970, including Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows" and Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life." Tom and Mike's genuine enthusiasm for these tracks reveals their deep appreciation for an era when "songs told stories" instead of today's "gibberish." Their musical journey is punctuated by personal memories that demonstrate how these songs became interwoven with their life experiences.
The madness reaches its peak when Squeak himself appears, recounting his harrowing journey to the studio – dangling from a rope beneath Troy's helicopter after a mid-air mishap. His indignation at this "ride" provides some of the episode's most hilarious moments.
Whether you're a nostalgic music lover or simply enjoy listening to two friends ramble through whatever topics strike their fancy, this episode delivers the unfiltered, unpredictable entertainment that MT Alternative fans have come to expect. Join us again next time for forgotten hits from 1971!
