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.

"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.

We dive right in with the introduction to online dating for millennials in MySpace (1:57), our personal catfish encounters (5:29), the complexities of meeting someone online (8:10), red flags with online romance (12:10), getting coaxed into online cam shows (19:10), Tinder (22:55), and a recap of it all (32:40).
Jumping into sports, we get into the surprise in the Indianapolis Colts retaining Chuck Pagano (34:30), the future of Chip Kelly (38:40), Johnny Manziel a.k.a. Billy Vegas (41:24), and a retrospective look at the San Francisco 49ers' decision to fire Jim Harbaugh after last season (43:10).

Longtime friend and the frequently mentioned Joc'quese Casel drops in.
We talk about cultural differences based on geography, the pros and cons of moving around a lot and being the "new kid" growing up, and social media today vs. yesterday and what it's become.

We also go over how we met and talk about some of life's milestones, like our first ticket (for "trespassing" at our old high school), first apartment (or home away from home), and our first strip club encounter (worth the listen).
Another topic mentioned was our failed attempts at launching a rap duo: Team Ego. Check out Joc's terrible intro video, along with mine.
