bought the wifi on the plane to listen to the boys live, gritty purchase

[@gHenny.]

That’s why you download the pod before going on to the plane, so you don’t have to pay 🎓

[@andrews337]

that purchase was a difference maker for you today

[@niners94]

@@gHenny. was the premier so couldn't download before I believe, had to watch the boys live. was most likely a rookie mistake but we move forward from here

[@titanfighter12]

How much is plane wifi

[@byronwright210]

Just like the special needs hero in the Silverado commercial. You had the courage, the GODDAMN fortitude to grind through the grime.

[@Tmink7]

When he made that move & became his true self is when I went from a casual listener / fan of some of his music to a legit supporter of his. Respect the reasoning even more

[@josephhaniford]

the shoutouts of the week this week were awesome. I'm loving this new segment

[@uscrene]

Whoa, free therapy with The Boys. This episode put it all in perspective. Definitely a lot to unpack from this ride in The Bus.

[@x7w6]

One of the greatest questions ever, “why did you stop going by Mike Stud” just turned into an hour long podcast (Good Talk as always)

[@GlacierSound]

Easy question lmao

[@Triple-G]

This is so wild. Been listening to Mike since my freshman year of high school back in 2013. So dope that he’s come along way from the baseball raps

What documentary did tay mention that’s on HBO? Can’t find it and was gonna write it down

[@stevemcvay2220]

I’m with Taylor and his shout out (no free shout outs) of the week. I think QT in general deserves the S/O. There’s nothing better than a clean gas station with lots of choices of coffee, slushy’s, donuts, cheap gas, free air for tires, ect. You can’t help but stop there over a little crusty old kind of gas station ya know. QT, WaWa, Spinx, and what are some other great big gas stations??? Hotspot, gotta love their firework section over here in SC that’s around all year.

[@lillinsey100]

i’m in Illinois and there is a huge gas station called Wally’s (off I-55) that i always stop at when i drive by. it’s a take off the National Lampoon’s movies; they have their own made in house beef jerky bar, bbq sammiches, coffee bar (taps that look like beer taps) tons of snacks, candy, fountain drinks, and souvenirs and a kind of country store at the front (similar to Cracker Barrel) anyway, Wally’s is frickin awesome. Also, they have a location in Missouri off I-44.

[@mmmmotors8114]

Anybody know where I can get the Skeez drops of Jupiter cover, even just a clip? I saw it once either IG or Twitter now cant find it anywhere, ANYWHERE. Help!

It’s bad when you accidentally get a swig of your own bottle but it’s next level when you get somebody else’s spit! When I use to dip my wife had two or three times she got my spit bottles and I honestly thought divorce was close!

[@maxhostetter1912]

I think Will should give it another go at football. I know it’s a demanding game but you’ve inspired so many blue collar football guys to put their head down and go to work every single day. I think Will misses being the guy everyone in the locker room loves and making the day of the other 52 guys on the team. But ultimately it’s up to Will. I think Will overthinks the player he is, leading to lack of confidence in himself at times. It would be awesome to be shown he is a high quality linebacker by a team. But who the hell am I anyways?

[@stevemcvay2220]

I really wasn’t sure about mike before this podcast but after this I’m def a fan. I kinda don’t like him saying athletes have been working their whole lives and fans don’t pay their salaries and they’ve been sacrificing their whole life and all that… hundreds of thousands of us worked to get through college and didn’t have a full ride and sacrificed 10X what a lot of athletes did/do. Fans also do pay every single athletes salaries. If no one watched or went to games then teams would have no money to pay anyone or have any big TV deals or any of that. I just hate being played the victim and having it so hard when soooooo many people have it waaaay worse. You think they had it hard or adversity but EVERYONE does!!! You can’t compare lives and journeys but I’m sure MILLIONS would change their lives in a heart beat and give up that first beer or whatever you think is such a big deal to make those millions rather than busting their asses 40-60 hours a week for $40k a year. We also have to wake up early and deal with life issues and give up absolutely everything for even HALF a chance at bettering our lives but never have a chance to make millions. Athletes aren’t victims and they are the privileged and they do need to realize it!!!!! Love Mike but just shut up about them not having a great life compared to so many people and fans not paying salaries and all that untrue nonsense. Really look at everyone’s situations and reality and don’t assume so much. Lots of people can’t afford lawyers and end up spending that year in jail and struggle finding jobs for the rest of our lives because of something we didn’t do but couldn’t afford to prove it wrong. Loves to act like a victim but has it pretty good for someone who’s always had it so bad and thinks the worlds against them.

I don't get how artists even make money anymore unless they are well known. Tough Business. Mike Stud had a few bangers back in the day but I wonder how he makes money now.

[@jacobjohnson9200]

By continuing to make music? He also has a pod, he owns the chug bud company. I’m sure he has a couple different incomes aside from those too

[@peenhead9938]

@@jacobjohnson9200 Yeah I don't get how that makes money since his music isn't that popular anymore. I guess he is one of those that is famous enough for his old songs and has a big enough fan base that carries him.

[@jacobjohnson9200]

@@peenhead9938 my guess would be his fan base stuck with him, and now that he’s making new music, they listen to that. Just because it’s not played 50x on the radio each day doesn’t mean it’s not popular? One of his newest songs “life got crazy” has over 37 million listens on Spotify, and I can imagine it has prolly done well across other platforms as well..
