Chris & Mike Debate the Embarrassing Hotel Room Some hotel rooms are forgettable. Others leave you with a story you’ll be telling for years, whether you want to or not. During the Michael Hirn episode of The Chris & Mike Show, Chris and Mike find themselves debating one of those hilariously embarrassing hotel room situations where neither guy is willing to let the other one control the narrative. What starts as a simple story quickly turns into classic Chris and Mike: two completely different perspectives, plenty of accusations, questionable memories, and both guys absolutely convinced that their version is the correct one. It’s also a perfect example of why some of the funniest moments on the show have nothing to do with the guest or the planned topic. Sometimes all it takes is an old story, a little embarrassment, and two longtime friends willing to throw each other under the bus. So who remembers what really happened in that hotel room? Chris says one thing. Mike says another…

# Sandra Kaufmann Challenges Aging Theories with Seven Tenets What if everything you've been told about aging is only part of the story?

Cubs Fans’ Rain Delay Nightmare: Did It Change the World Series? Game 7 of the 2016 World Series already had everything: history, pressure, blown leads, extra innings, and two franchises desperate to end decades of heartbreak. Then came the most controversial pause of the night: the rain delay. During the Michael Hirn episode of The Chris & Mike Show, the guys revisit the moment Cleveland had all the momentum. The Indians had just completed an incredible comeback, tying the game in the eighth inning after trailing the Cubs. Progressive Field was rocking, Chicago looked stunned, and suddenly it felt like Cleveland might finish the comeback. Then the rain came. The game was stopped before the 10th inning, and whether you believe the delay was simply Mother Nature or jokingly call it the “fake rain delay,” there’s no denying what happened afterward: the Cubs regrouped. Chicago players famously gathered during the delay, reset mentally, and when play resumed, the Cubs scored twice in…

Steph Curry Changed Basketball Forever Before Steph Curry changed the game, basketball was still largely about getting closer to the basket. Attack the paint, establish an inside presence, work the midrange, and treat the three pointer as another weapon in the offense. Then Curry started pulling up from places where coaches used to yell, “What are you doing?!” During the Michael Hirn episode of The Chris & Mike Show, the guys talk about Steph Curry’s impact on basketball and how one player helped completely change the geography of the game. Curry didn’t invent the three pointer, but he helped redefine what coaches, players, and fans considered a good shot. Suddenly, shooting several feet behind the three point line wasn't necessarily a desperation attempt. Defenses had to pick players up farther from the basket, creating more space, changing offensive schemes, and opening driving lanes that previously weren't there. And Curry's influence didn't stop with the NBA. Walk into a gym …

Since then, however, fans have endured decades of talented rosters, huge expectations, coaching changes, playoff disappointments, and the same question seemingly every season: Is Jerry Jones helping the Cowboys win, or is Jerry Jones the reason they can’t get back to the Super Bowl? Chris, Mike, and Michael discuss the difference between being a brilliant businessman and building…
