Summer is in full swing and people were ready. On this episode Mikey got a new job at a place where most of you probably shop from. Another great butler gig story from lower Manhattan. Addison went to the “big boy” doctor for the first time in his life.

They say that’s the month of May comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, same could be said for this episode, but at least we’re back on the couch. Police and Society, where do we move forward? Before formulating an opinion all details of the situation must come to light. The Anti-Asian Hate Crime Bill, is it legitimate or American politics at its finest? Also Drivers Ed should be easy but for some not quite as much. Mikey goes in depth on his chaotic Drivers Ed experience along with his actual road test.

Everyone is getting vaccinated, the weather is changing, it’s been over 100 days without Trump on social media...this sort of feels like the calm before before the storm. Jake Paul stepped into the boxing ring again this time against Ben Askren and took the W with a first round KO, was it fixed? The commentary team was stacked with celebrities but Snoop Dogg proved why he gets a pass. Celebrities in sports works if booked correctly.

Also Biden is...well...he’s Biden

The first couple days of spring have officially sprung. Spring fever is absolutely real AGM and friends dive deep into Mikey’s head to figure out why he is the way he is, they got more than what they were looking for. Punta Cana is similar to Vegas, what happens there stays there. Political conversation won’t reach new and healthy levels if people are scared to share how they really feel in fear of being canceled or shut down, that’s not a conversation. Plus March Madness turns more people in couch potato’s than a Netflix binge watch.

Daylight Savings...Who Cares?!Film directors, are they less creative today or are they just submissive to criticism? As every year it seems another remake is made. AGM purchased the entire Jurassic franchise for some reason. A wild trip to South Hampton only to be yelled at the next day.

February is almost done but winter is far from over. Texas has made it clear that snow is not to be enjoyed. AGM comes up with some ideas for a tattoo that has been long awaited. Also is “cancel culture” based on assumption or analytical fact? As a society we have become very unforgiving and moving forward where does this lead? Plus we are on the road to WWE’s “WrestleMania” as rival company AEW books an “Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch” at their next pay per view “Revolution” in March.

After two snowstorms, a few head colds and a 1 and a half week hiatus, we’re back! The road to WrestleMania is underway as Bad Bunny joins the WWE and is he here to stay? The CDC and the Biden administration can’t seem to get along. Super Bowl LV showed us that Tom Brady is that damn good and plus Mikey gets into an altercation in a BJs parking lot. It’s a good thing that February is short!

The temperature continues to keep going down but the amusement keeps going up. UFC 257 had you scratching your head this weekend with a massive upset. The WWE Thunderdome did not let Mikey and AGM in for Smackdown on Friday. RIP to a legend in broadcasting, Larry King. Joe Exotic did not receive a pardon under President Trump but is still seeking freedom under President Biden as he took office last Wednesday. Also a wild weekend in New Jersey.

Also politicians are getting the vaccine but is it just a political stunt for the camera? There was a bombing in Nashville but were the intentions deadly? We also pay tribute to professional wrestler Jon Huber better known as “Brodie Lee” and “Luke Harper” who passed away suddenly at the age of 41. Thank you for joining us on the tail end of this rollercoaster of a year “2020”, let’s roll into 2021 with our heads up!

5 days until Christmas! It’s snowing, Mikey is back and this time AGM opens up an early Christmas gift. Tom Cruise goes ballistic while on set of Mission Impossible 7 at crew members for not following covid safety guidelines, but does he really care or is it a publicity stunt?

As a kid the appreciation of receiving gifts is through the roof and even as an adult the “it’s the thought that counts” is alive and well right? Wrong! Throughout the years you have revived the best gifts and the worst gifts which result to having a good or bad Christmas. Jay opens up an early Christmas present from AGM on the show! With Christmas and the holidays approaching it’s clear that politically nothing is changing. Arguments about the election continue as protests turned into chaos in D.C. on Saturday night. This shows that there’s no attempt to even try and come to a middle ground. The Independent party need to change up or Independents need to make a new one.

The first episode of December! As we circle in on the Christmas season all sitcom reruns and tv shows on cable are the holiday special episodes. No one quite did the specials better than Nickelodeon back in the late 90s and early 2000s. Fairy Odd Parents, Jimmy Neutron and Spongebob all had their place and still remain. Does fat shaming sometimes act in a positive way? Joe Biden really broke his foot playing with his dog and it’s way more complicated then comprehensive. Trump had a GA rally and still claims the fight for the election isn’t over but hints that he won’t be in the White House come January 20th. Plus professional wrestling legend Sting debuts on AEW dynamite at 61 years old and signs a multi year contract. This will be a December to remember.

Thanksgiving is next week and Covid is on a comeback as restaurants and bars must close after 10pm again in NY but vaccines are on the way. Plus! Trump 2024? Can we have 2 presidents? Why do mask cops exist? Will the holiday season live on?

Friday The 13th!!! Is there light at the end of this tunnel?.....or are we heading for a “Dark Winter”? It’s been nearly a week since the election and the battle continues...or does it? Still no concession from Trump because he’s not giving up as Biden prepares for Presidency. Peaceful transition of power? Plus does Mikey have a personal Vendetta against him? Is getting “catfished” today is more common then ever!

Democracy is alive and well......or is it? Election Day(s), it’s the Groundhogs Day version of Election Day and it’s exactly what we expected. President-Elect Biden? If there is voter fraud will it be enough for Trump to turn it around? This is the closest to the real life “House Of Cards” we’ve ever come to. Plus dogs and butler gigs!

The countdown to the Presidential Election continues as it is only 4 days out and is early voting and voting in general all that heroic? Will Halloween ever make a comeback like it used to be and when did it go from scary to sexy? This is the strangest year by far and maybe we’ll get another season.. Let The Good Times Roll.

Election Day is 10 days away and no one knows what’s going to happen!! , AGM and friends break it all down in simple form. From the final Presidential debate to the latest controversy with 50 Cent and Ice Cube and even Kanye West. The uncertainty awaits.....Let The Good Times Roll!

Butler gigs and Security gigs with a twist. Election Day is less than 3 weeks away and could Kanye West take the state of Wyoming?
