He's taken up hiking mountains and embraces a lifestylecfocused on self-help and Eastern spirituality.

While it may seem like a coincidence the two both started their music careers while attending Duke together, Posner and Mike’s reconnecting in this episode might suggest they’ve been on similar wavelengths the entire time. They explore similar life philosophies they’ve taken up and share what led them to those teachings along the way. Posner then touches on what it was like to fall out of fame after recording 3 platinum songs, only to find stardom yet again after recording “I Took A Pill In Ibiza.”

When an artist has such a filled career in a short amount of time, the question of “What happens now?” arises quicker than expected. Posner explains what his future plans are and how he wishes to approach music from now on.

There are many great book recommendations, stories of adversity, and observations on how the world has changed in the past 10 years. This is a real Mike & Mike show, Steve. Sit back.

Dansby also shares how his childhood upbringing motivated him to give back more and help others in life. He loves spreading the love—and honestly, who doesn’t?

Episode 21: Brendan Schaub

Wed, 06 Nov 2019 16:00:00 -0000

If you’re a Steve, then this week’s guest needs no introduction. Brendan Schaub is sitting down this week to talk shop with Mike. You’ll find Schaub doesn’t listen to the noise of the outside world. When he sets his mind to something, he makes sure he sees it all the way through. Schaub’s had his hangups, just like Mike and everyone else, but he has continued on the path to success by knowing how to bounce back. All in all, Schaub doesn’t look back. He looks forward.

Episode 20: The Meaning of Life

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0000

Mike and Jon dive into the meaning of life, touching on a superfluous amount of pressing topics. Are musicians getting properly compensated from streaming platforms? Should HGH be legalized in professional sports? Is 69'ing a thing of the past? Find out on this weeks podcast.

Episode 19: Hunter Greene

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0000

He's been nicknamed "the Lebron of baseball". And, for good reason. Greene signed a professional contract in 2017 with the Reds at the signing deadline, forgoing his commitment to UCLA, for a $7.23 million signing bonus, the largest bonus given out during the slotting system that began in 2012, and the largest bonus since Gerrit Cole received an $8 million bonus in 2011.

Episode 18: Chauncey "Squints" Leopardi

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0000

If you didn't grow up watching The Sandlot, then you're not an American. From kissing Wendy Peffercorn at the neighborhood pool to drinking ice cold Bud Lights on our couch, Squints dropped by and chopped it up with us at the Stevenson Ranch for an afternoon of nostalgia and super strong weed.

Episode 17: Huey Mack

Wed, 09 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0000

We couldn't go another week without having our long time friend, and colleague, Huey Mack on the show. A West Virginia native, Mike and the gang have been getting into mischief with this fellow rapper for nearly 7 years now. Finally they sit down, and recount some of their favorite stories.

Episode 16: Mod Sun

Wed, 02 Oct 2019 15:00:00 -0000

This week’s episode will surround the nature of change. Mike and Modsun are not the same people they were in 2013, just like they were not the same people before they started making music. Life is a journey, and the ups and downs one experiences along the way will impact your identity in one way or the other.

Self-reflection and growing pains. That is going to be a significant theme throughout the two’s conversation. So, take the time to sit down and listen carefully. Modsun has a lot of wisdom to share that many people do not have at his age.

Episode 15: Colton Underwood

Wed, 25 Sep 2019 15:00:00 -0000

We know he spent a season on The Bachelorette, then Bachelor In Paradise, and finally on The Bachelor as the big guy. But outside of all the spotlight and the noise, Colton has not had much time to let people know his full story. I mention this because, for the past two years, his interviews have had a Bachelor lens on them. And that is totally ok.

But in this weeks episode, you will get to see an entirely different side of Colton. You will find he loves the entertainment game. You will find out how tv helped Colton discover himself. Above all, you will see how to handle life when it throws a curveball at you.

Episode 14: Travis Kelce

Wed, 18 Sep 2019 15:00:00 -0000

Ever know what it's like to play for the most electric offense in the NFL? Travis Kelce does. As an all-pro tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, he uses his skill and swagger to make it look all too easy out there. When he's off the field, hide your girl. His drip is just as hard as his game.

A Cleveland Heights, Ohio native, Kelce was a three-sport beast in football, baseball, and basketball. Though a quarterback in high school, Kelce was switched to tight-end when he joined his brother, Jason, at the University of Cincinnati. There, he worked his way up on the draft radar, earning First-team All-Big East in his final year at Cincy.

When Kelce joined the Chiefs in 2013, he was tasked with following in the footsteps of Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzales. A steep test at the time, it seems Kelce might go down as one of the best to ever do it now. Through his first six seasons, Kelce has been a 4-time Pro Bowler and 3-Time All-Pro. When league analysts are asked who is the best tight end in the league, they answer Kelce, citing his football IQ and wide-receiver type athletic ability to confirm their claims.

Episode 13: Steve the Third

Wed, 11 Sep 2019 15:00:00 -0000

The Steves gather once again for this weeks episode, which makes for some entertaining content as usual. Foley is wearing more color than he can remember, Steve The Pup is in maximum good boy mode, and the actual Stevenson Ranch is beginning to manifest itself into the crib. Oh and I almost forgot, another merch drop is coming after the episode.

Episode 12: Camille Kostek

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 16:00:00 -0000

Play it cool this week, 2019’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover model, Camille Kostek, is joining the pod. Aside from being the most beautiful guest YNK has hosted, Camille is insanely cool. Whether it is DD’ing for her squad or consoling a stressed friend while they cry like Kim K in front of the mirror, Camille lives outside of cliche model stereotypes.

Episode 11: nZo

Wed, 28 Aug 2019 15:00:00 -0000

A New Jersey native, nZo knew as a child he wanted to become a pro wrestler. It wasn’t until MTV’s Jersey Shore invaded his home state that nZo got the chance to show his talent to the wrestling world. How did he show his ability you might ask? Well, through a diss track of course.

What followed would turn out to be one damn unique journey a person could have by the age of thirty, and you’ll find out this and more about nZo throughout the episode. But the one quality you should know is he doesn’t care what other people think. He continually challenges and defies the status quo.

Episode 10: Jared Goff

Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:00:00 -0000

Unless you have been living under a rock, this week’s guest needs no introduction. I don’t need to tell you he was a former Pac-12 superstar, or that he was the #1 pick of the 2016 NFL Draft. I don’t even need to tell you that, in his third year in the league, he led his team to their first Super Bowl appearance in 18 years. See what I’m doing here?

Episode 9: Return of the Steves

Wed, 14 Aug 2019 15:00:00 -0000

The Steves are back and better than ever. They discuss Stroman trade to Mets, weight loss, new music from Mike, and a new merch release.

Episode 8: Fam Mirza

Wed, 07 Aug 2019 15:00:00 -0000

This week, Mike will be sitting down with someone who is an entrepreneur, an investor, a marketer, and a philanthropist. Impressive right? What if I told you he also initially grew up in a Third World country?

Enter Fam Mirza, a millennial businessman who creates wealth solely by listening to the world around him.

Episode 7: Meet The Parents

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 18:00:00 -0000

If you have ever been curious about what it is like to handle fame behind the scenes, then this weeks episode will be a great look into the dynamics on how to find a balance between the limelight and family. Mike’s guests will consist of his mother Mary, sister Marisa, niece Baby B, who is already a shining star at age 5, and father Michael, aka “Big Papa Stud.” Will some stories be told that might make the parents cringe? Yes. Will Mike’s parents retell how they met in a very vivid and detailed manner? We hope so, Steve, we hope so.

Episode 6: Chris “Drama” Pfaff

Tue, 23 Jul 2019 22:00:00 -0000

A decade ago, Drama got his first taste of entrepreneurship when his professional skateboarding second-cousin, Rob Dyrdek, brought him out from his hometown in Ohio to Los Angeles to be his assistant. What came next, was a role as a personality on Rob’s reality TV show Rob & Big. Airing on MTV, it lasted three seasons until Rob’s new show Fantasy Factory replaced it. On the new show, Drama played a more boosted character role that would eventually give him the platform to one day create something of his own.

Episode 5: The Steves

Wed, 17 Jul 2019 17:00:00 -0000
