Sound Bites & Stream Fights: Music, Money, and Mental Health on The Chris and Mike Show
In this episode of The Chris and Mike Show, Mike and I cover a lot of ground—from the music studio to the fast-food line and everything in between. We talk shop about podcast production, including why dedicated internet is a must when you’re dealing with guests from all over the country.
We dive into the current state of the music industry, highlighting the financial challenges artists face in the streaming era. LeMoyne Alexander’s story of shifting from rap to rock shows just how versatile—and undervalued—musicians can be today. We also explore the brilliance behind Jim Morrison’s whisper track on Riders on the Storm and why Lars Ulrich was always three steps ahead of the game.
But it’s not all chords and cash. We get real about the rise of health-conscious eating, the fallout from Super Size Me, and how fast food continues to impact public health. We reflect on pop culture icons like Michael Jordan and Caitlin Clark, the science behind cannabis and cognition, and even how coffee and daily organization affect your mental health and performance.
From funny quotes like “You can shoot a message there,” to powerful reminders that “Insecurity is a banger,” this episode is packed with laughs, insight, and moments that hit home. Whether it’s music production, sports, recovery, or community—this one’s got something for everyone.
