S1E10: Mike And Chance Show #TBT
Exactly one year ago today, Chance Davis and I launched a new podcast: "The Mike and Chance Show." There was but one episode ever recorded, and as an anniversary tribute to something I created with my best friend, I decided to play it out for you all again here.
Exactly one year ago today, Chance Davis and I launched a new podcast: "The Mike and Chance Show." There was but one episode ever recorded, and as an anniversary tribute to something I created with my best friend, I decided to play it out for you all again here.
"The Mike and Chance Show" aimed to be the podcast for an otherwise abandoned multimedia project I developed call "Urbane Circle." While "the U.C." didn't quite take off as I had imagined, "The Mike Silva Show" is very much what I had envisioned for "The Mike and Chance Show."
Circumstances prevailed that prevented further recordings of "The Mike and Chance Show," but there are definitely future plans to have Chance incorporated in "The Mike Silva Show."
In this episode, we discuss what the overall premise of the show (6:15), the way texting had affected dating (14:42), receiving pixelated "nudes" in the olden days (18:58), how the game has changed (26:40), what Facebook has become (29:42), "situationships" (35:30), the ramifications of the infamous "double tap" (37:37), thirst traps and click bait (40:35), and the different types of Instagram users (45:10).
As part of the usual Mike Silva Show layout with sports and pop culture, I also discuss the return of professional football to Los Angeles (47:30) and a hidden gem of a movie on Netflix (50:07).
Please listen and always enjoy.

'Tis the season. Cuffing season, that is. What is it about that time period between Thanksgiving and New Years that makes people want to get locked in? How do you avoid getting trapped?

S1E8a: The Three Man Holiday Pod with Joc and Gerry
Do you remember the awesome feeling of a great new video game... On Super Nintendo? Are there truly any good Christmas movies, or just a bunch of generic family channel flicks?

In Part 1 of a two-part episode, we also get into holiday traditions and how commercialized each and every holiday has become. Why the hell is there a "National Cookie Day"? I have no clue either. Tune in and listen to an entertaining entry of the podcast.
