    Yea, NO.
    Once upon a time I listened, then for some reason I lost touch. I came back and cannot understand WHY one would listen. Mike has changed. Obviously he has no one to talk to so now it’s blah, blah., blah. Mike STOP.

    Mike Carano Speaks!
    - - - And it’s way more enjoyable to listen to than it has any right to be. But it’s nice to know that there are still some regular, decent blokes out there who still have the ability to feel empathy. Carano happens to also have a gift for magnetic speaking [and also for NOT being boring, stupid, gullible, or susceptible to political brainwashing].

    Hero?
    I think Mike is my hero . I don’t know How I feel about this, but he sure can relate to so much of us 👍

    A man reciting my thoughts
    It’s frightening how similar Mike and I think. This is def a get in the car take a drive and listen to Mikes stream of consciousness.
  • KayeOs
    Loser but sometimes entertaining
    He uses his rich friends to make a living off of. Guy seriously needs to get a life and move out of Hollywood.

    What a life this guy has!!!
    So why is he always complaining?
  • Bochettesnot
    Downword spiral
    Mike is on a path to self destruction and I am going to enjoy it, I love this guy even after he told me to lick Trumps B-hole. Addendum- I can't listen anymore, Mike is an insufferable dueschbag he deserves all the mental anquish he inflicts on himself, but I will no longer suffer with him- USUBSCRIBED.
  • Shellmel56
    GREAT
    I am so obsessed with this. I find it hilarious when I can’t sleep at 4:00 am! I relate to him so much. Props, man! 👏

    Genuine Gentleman
    I would love to write a flowing literary piece about this man for this review- but I’ll just let the title speak for itself.

    Mike is my kind of outcast
    I dig the guy’s cynicism, let’s face it, the world deserves it.
  • Slime Pit Dave
    Exactly as Advertised
    I have known Mike since he was 12, what you are hearing is EXACTLY the Mike I know. He’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met and is as BSC as he comes across. To hear this gentleman ‘crack wise’ is truly a thrill my good man, excelsior!
  • Blondie3575!
    I ❤️you!
    I love this podcast! You are my kind of person. I enjoy hearing you without the interruptions of your cohosts on the other show. Keep it up!
  • jjwendlain
    Funny, compelling and innovative.
    He's a gentleman. He wants to be positive. And he might have to pull this episode. This is a very funny and compelling podcast, and you can tell he's puy a lot of thought into what makes this a unique form of media.. Episode 301 might be the best example of what this show can do, so you might want to start there. I'd also urge you to donate on Patreon--you get an amazing trove of bonus material.

    Yeah it’s not the strongest of the after disaster related podcasts, but I’ll never turn down more content from Mike

    I like all his miscellaneous happenings

    Mikes podcast
    Mikes podcast is truly one of my favorites. It amazes me how he can make any mundane everyday task entertaining. It's also very telling how he confronts his fears and phobias with humor and courage. Thank you Mike

    thanks for the t-shirt!

    I became a fan of Mike Carano from his exploits on the (Loveline) After Disaster. If I may be so presumptuous, that podcast has been a pivotal slab of Mike’s life; getting off the sauce, life changes, job changes, and more. Mike is a very creative and talented person, and I hope he continues to give the gift that he offers to society via his frenetic, nervous, yet confident view on daily living. I am also especially fond of his Five Minutes with Mike YouTube series in which he randomly drives hours and hours into the desert to take photos and find adventure... then hit del taco and drive ALL the way back to LA in the same night. Don’t let the IRS get you down, Mike!
  • BoomBapKing
    One of the best!
    I can listen to your podcast all day. I don’t agree with all your views but I’m throughly entertained. Keep it up. I hope you never stop making this podcast!!
  • Squirrels are the devil
    Not too shabby!
    Mostly Mike makes me laugh, sometimes cringe....and sometimes I'm just waiting for a cop to pull him over already.
  • alaskabliss
    Why why why ner
    So if I whine about a whiner does that make me a whiner too? Listened to the salton sea cast thinking we’d be enlightened about the place in an authentic way and ended up enduring a long, disjointed, meandering riff about ugly seagulls, AC/DC band members, above ground pools, a racist tangent why black people don’t skydive -Wait - I’m meandering like this guy. 45 in and still haven’t learned much except this guy HATES everything. Fffffft
  • Johny-A.
    Thank You
    Thank you for Ep 220; it put the tragedy of Las Vegas into perspective because it helps that I feel like I relate to you, from listening in the past

    Stream of consciousness
    Stream of consciousness as previously stated ☝🏼 😐
  • Joshkimmel
    I really like mike
    At first I was going to be sarcastic and say this show is all about a white dude complaining about living in a beautiful city blowing money on drones and electric bikes and talking bad about literally everyone he encounters. BUT then I changed my mind because mike doesn't need negativity in his life. I really really like mike. This is the realist podcast on iTunes.
  • Tim Judd
    Brilliant Eccentricity
    Mike Carano is fascinating. His stream of consciousness commentary on his daily activity is strangely compelling. Frequently funny and sometimes deeply depressing his struggle with life, sanity and Los Angeles delivered as a monologue with street sounds. I highly recommend his offbeat perspective.
  • Gbeze
    He grows on ya
    Be more responsible with your money Mike!
  • Srirachaflash
    Underrated, great podcast
    Listening to Mike's podcast is like having the best 1 on 1 conversation possible where you can't get a word in but you still have a great time.

    💞
    If I liked boys, I'd LOVE YOU!!! You make anxiety ok. And you make me LAUGH! I love you Mike Carano💞
  • Mmmaaarrrgggooo
    Awesomely Funny and Observational
    My favorite Podcast hands down! We get to see the interesting and hilarious perspective through which Mike sees the world. This turns errands, trips, etc. into seriously funny material I absolutely love it!
  • Krovikan
    Mike is the best
    No matter what you say Mike don't change. Love the show!!

    A Thinking Man's Thinking Man
    Mike is one of the most candid, vulnerable, thoughtful and relatable voices around. He's a pleasure to have in my head.
  • Scott's a cannon
    One of my favorites
    Although I don't know Mike I genuinely care about him as a person and root for him even though we'll probably never meet. It's been awesome to see him evolve as a person over the years. Much love and support!!!
  • Clyde Sparkle
    First person novella in the city of broken dreams.
    Listening to Mike's off the script mental narrative as he escapes daily life, looming deadlines and destructive anxiety in fast paced status-centric world of Hollywood, CA may feel like a miscellaneous adventure, but it's his witty perspective, voyeuristic observations and sometimes unsettling honesty which brings substance to the superficial and makes tuning in an enjoyable adventure.

    This show is sometimes a mess, but I don't miss a single podcast. It makes me feel better about my own anxiety when Mike almost has a panic attack picking out sunblock lotion.
  • Vanessa Helmuth

  • Prehistoric pony

  • DieCut Creep
    My new favorite podcast
    I love Mike’s podcast. I learned of him form Dr. Drew and now I can’t get enough of his back episodes. I also like his other podcast he does with his buddies called The After Disaster. Listen, it’s fantastic. Even when he thinks he’s just complaining, it’s brilliant and I love it.
  • #nogy
    This and the after disaster are my favorite podcasts
    Thanks mike
  • ToddK333
    One of my favorite podcasts...
    I really enjoy this podcast. Keep them coming Mike!
  • justlikekings
    Total PAB
    I didn't think I would enjoy the ramblings of a man trying to pick dessert or wait in a hospital waiting room but I guess that's who I am now. Love this.

    Costco Hour With Mike C
    I dig it! It brings me happiness when I see a new episode has uploaded. I think that's enough said.
  • VariableUnknown
    👍
    I love Carano, can't get enough of his solo adventures, what I like to think of as 'between disasters'. His inner monologue becomes outer and we are all better for it.
  • swittwer
    One of the most positive podcasts on itunes
    Well.. Maybe not. But I still love it and Mike <3 When can I join your cult?
  • Grrrrrrbird
    Continuous laughter!
    Been listening since the beginning and can't get enough! Had my dad listen to a recent episode and the following were his comments: *Is this guy a sociopath? *This guy needs to get his assed kicked. *I hope you don't pay to listen to this Even with the negative comments, there were several smiles and laughter outbursts. Keep doing what you're doing mike!
  • Ultra Vixen
    Neurotic & Charming
    Love this man.
  • Barking Toad
    Fascinating, fun, I never miss an episode
    Mr Carano's stream-of-consciousness podcast is just goddamn brillliant. We're in a time when reality shows are tightly scripted and/or edited, but Mike has chosen to really be open and tell us his true thoughts and feelings in real time. The Internet has brought us live webcams of people's lives, but they're still putting on a show. Mike's podcast is not a show; it's his real live concerns, worries, hopes, neuroses, at times joy and at times sadness. In a recent podcast he loses his car, and for twenty minutes we're WITH him, as he alternately searches and goes through all the worries and angst that goes along with thinking your car might be stolen or towed. We are along for the ride on Mike's emotional roller coaster. If you're on his wavelength you will find yourself looking forward to his weekly adventures.

    Not as good...
    The after disaster is a much better podcast, but i do enjoy mikes hateful ramblings. I just cant believe he is trying to abandon his two lovers from AD!
  • cazdrummer
    Join the church of Carano
    It's like being stuck inside someone's head. Listen along to Mike's thoughts, from mundane to comical to introspective. He struggles to keep it positive, but when he gets angry he says the things I either would say, or wish I could say. Those moments are by far my favorite part of the podcast.
  • Jay goldblum
    Love this man
    Mike Carano is amazing
