Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Guaranteed human. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the enhanced games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.
Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
My mother-in-law spent years sabotaging our relationship until karma made her pay for it.
All right, Sophia, tell me about how we started this story.
She moved in for two weeks, lasted five days, left a mess, and then pressed her ear against their bedroom door and burst in screaming. When kicked out to a hotel, she called her son-in-law's workplace, pretending his partner had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance.
She...
faked a medical emergency?

Chapter 2: What treasures did Mike D find in the box he kept for decades?
Before Wrestler, I remember there was a brief period where I wanted to be an architect, and I don't even know why. I think I was in first grade, but I remember telling everybody I wanted to be an architect because I wanted to design buildings. Love that. And I would carry around a little hammer inside the loop of my pants. But that was just like... Bob the Builder, maybe? Maybe. I don't know.
That was just...
Chapter 3: How does Mike D feel about keeping versus getting rid of items?
Some people say fireman as a kid. I said architect. Yeah. So then I went to wrestler. Then I think for the majority of my life, I wanted to be in a band and like tour and get on a record label. Which you were still doing the band in high school. Yeah, I did it through high school. And then when I graduated high school, I moved from Waxhatchee to Austin to pursue music.
And I just happened to find the internship on the radio show. I was doing those two things at the same time. So I was still pursuing that. I just kind of saw like, I don't think I want to do that anymore. Do you think there's a part of you that would ever go back to trying to do that? No, if I would do it, it would just to be just like to play for fun, like in a garage, write some songs again.
But I don't think I would ever want to play shows again.
yeah that's fair there's more of a passion yeah like enjoy it like in my head it would be fun to like reunite with my old band and like there was like a group of bands that we all toured with and just do like one show where it's basically just the people who were in those bands attending the show it's not really like a thing we do we just like kind of all perform for each other like that would be like the only thing i'd want to do like more like a party where we all play music you don't feel like that would give you the bug to try and pursue again
No, I don't think so. I just think that it was such a grind to do and we basically made no money for so many years that I don't think I would want to do it again to that extent. Yeah, that's fair. It's also fair as you get older, you just realize the true sides of things. I mean, I also haven't played guitar in like five years, like eight.
That's wild that you also used to be a pretty significant guitar player.
Yeah.
Like I taught myself how to play. That's all I would do. I would just play guitar. And then I would say probably until I moved here is when I kind of stopped playing. Like I played still like the first couple of years I lived here and then just kind of stopped. You're telling me you never played for your wife? I did write her a song early on. Did you? Yeah. Oh, that's so sweet.
So that was probably around the tail. Yeah, because I was still probably writing songs in like 2018. So probably stopped fully in like 2019. Maybe picked it up a little bit during the pandemic because there was nothing else to do. And then since then, I pick it up maybe once or twice a year. But that's about it. That's so cool. Did you record the song or did you just play for it live in person?

Chapter 4: What nostalgic items did Mike D discover from his childhood?
Yeah, I have three, two electrics and one acoustic. Dang, you have a lot, not just one. Yeah, I mean, that was my, yeah. And like recently there was, my favorite guitar player is Tom DeLonge from Blink-182. And he had this signature guitar that I wanted so bad as a kid, but it was like super expensive. Yeah. And recently they did like a reissue version of it.
And I was so close to buying it because I saw it on the rack. It was like so close to me buying it. Why didn't you? I was like, I'm not going to play it. I was like, I haven't played guitar in so long. Is this really going to motivate me to want to play it again? But it could be you love collecting things. That's true. And that's a collector's item for sure.
I would assume, especially in that genre. Yeah. No? I mean, it could be, but I think with... I mean, they reissue it and they make a bunch of them, so I don't know if it's going to have really any collector value to it, but it would be to me because for a long time you couldn't even find that guitar. Yeah.
I just feel like it would be a cool collection in your videos that I see from your podcast set up. I feel like that would be a cool add to that collection. That is kind of how I justify some things. I'm like, I put it in the background. It's a set piece. It is. And I don't know. Is that like something that's super expensive? Yeah. Uh, that one, that was the other thing.
I saw it and it was like on a pretty good deal. Really? And you still didn't do it? It was only like 900, I mean, still a lot of money, like 900 bucks, but originally it was like 1500. Oh yeah. That's a great deal. You're almost like half. Yeah. That was the only thing I was like, this is such a good deal. Like, why is this marked down so much?
Your wife is going to be like, Morgan, don't say this, but you should go back and get it. I don't know if it's there anymore, but yeah, I really, I think, I don't even think I told her when I saw it. Really? I sent it to my brother because he was like, that's cool. Yeah.

Chapter 5: How does social media influence current interests and trends?
And she was probably just like, you have three guitars. What's this one? It's hard unless you are a person who understands that side of things. She probably would motivate me to get it because she's like, you never buy things for yourself. Okay. And she's like, if something is cool, like you have worked hard, you can buy it for yourself. I love that.
That's probably why I didn't tell her because then she would convince me to do it. Because I'm the one who always talked myself out of buying something ever. I don't like buying things. I don't really... Material things don't really mean much to me. I'd rather spend money on experiences, so I don't really get joy of owning just objects. I'd rather do things.
It's so hard for me to justify it in my head of like, I'm going to spend $800 on this. How many uses am I going to get out of it? If I only use it twice, that's $400 a use. I always break it down by use. Yeah, and in all fairness, like, totally fair. Because I'm right there with you. I'd rather have trips and experiences and spend money on life versus owning a bunch of stuff.
But something that's been part of your life for so long, you definitely didn't text your wife because you knew she was going to encourage you to do it. And I guess since then, I kind of have been on, like,
a search of all like the childhood things that I didn't own and that's kind of been like my avenue of like collecting things right now is like what are all the items that I wanted as a kid and have never bought and I'm kind of on the search for those okay here's a little Hail Mary moment if it's still there wherever you found it I feel like that's a sign that you're supposed to have it I'm open to that if it's still there and still the same price and it wasn't a mistake
Then you are supposed to own that guitar. That's crazy. I never I guess I just never we've talked about you having been in the band and stuff. But and you playing guitars and stuff now, I feel like that you could be a songwriter in that genre if you wanted to as like a passion side of things. Is that genre? Yeah.
I've never... See, when I was growing up, I didn't really know that that was a profession, that you could write songs. I always assumed that all the bands I listened to wrote all their own songs, which for the majority they did, because there's a lot of punk bands. But now, like, seeing that my favorite band, Blink-182, they have, like...
people writing some of their songs i'm like wait a minute you could write a song for blink 182 that would be a cool i don't know just side passion especially because you also love to write yeah i feel like that'd be a cool creative outlet but writing songs is also different than writing scripts i can't do either so but i do know they're different all right we're gonna take a quick break and i need to find out what else was in the box because we only got to one we'll be right back
