I remember 3 years ago when I first saw your “how did (insert band) get big” videos. Now to see you talking to Fat Mike. Congratulations Punk Rock MBA. Well deserved.
Watching Mike unravel because he’s not the center of attention is absolutely hilarious. He has his work cut out for him with just Sam, but up against Sam and Finn? He never stood a chance. One of the best episodes so far.
I really enjoyed that. Mike met his match. Mike is smart, quick witted, and used humor alot. This other dude was smart, quick witted, and armed with logic/reason, and was very matter of fact. Was great to watch. A great dynamic.
I love Mike, he is always great, but he's a very domineering personality, it's very interesting to watch him come up against a very strong personality. I love Finn's content, I don't always agree with his opinions but he doesn't compromise on them. I think Mike is used to people just capitulating to his opinion.
@@ianbarrett4166 yep, and he doesnt like being challenged lol I love Mike but im so glad Finn didnt pull his punches in this one. made for a very interesting episode.
Love both of these people. Very interesting dynamic when they're both in the same room. Love how Mike just asks random ass, off-the-wall, "inappropriate" questions. It's like if the Eric Andre show became a punk podcast
Crass era punk rock is hands down the most intelligent era of music, whether or not you buy into the realism of Anarchism as a viable and realistic societal structure.
Anarchy could be, but too many people are dependent on the state. Only true believers would be able to make an exodus from "civil society" and survive.
I love crass listening to their music always made me question things and go look something up. Most other punk bands are just spewing up talking points like "eat the rich" without explaining why, what would that do etc... I would really like to listen some punk band creating a song about the IMF and explain how IMF predatory loans to 3rd world countries work and what the catch is... Most punk rock reminds me more of political youtubers and political twitch streamers that in reality are just online drama channels that are design to preach to the choir. If I go watch left wing youtubers I will learn a lot about of private life of individual right wing youtuber and same is in reverse. But how US economy actually works, how NATO works, how foreign policy works, their trappings, benefits and cost etc... no so much... If I asked many of youtube political personalities about details of the PETRODOLLAR on either side they would know very little about.
I remember going to a NOFX show at the Ventura theatre back in the early 2010s with one of my closest friends who was full out punk while I had my metal head hair. Mike pointed towards me and said "He dragged you here didnt he?" Then Heffe turned and said "You look like you would be in Dragonforce". Loved that show and I actually bought the tickets for my friend and I before he even knew they were playing.
I do like how generally positive Finn is to so many things. For most things, he calls balls and strikes, but he general ends his videos on speaking from the band's and the scene's perspective saying "hey for that time, for that group, for what it was, it was cool."
I loved the awkward defensive wit of Finn, and mike's banter makes you wonder what on earth he's gonna say next lol. The drama it creates was so watchable
Hell yeah Finn is on the show! Some people might not like him but IMO I think he pretty much nails it on the head with (most) of the bands he does but some could be more looked at and some could be more cherished
During the bringing up the power violence subgenre, Finn should have mentioned Chris Dodge and his band Spazz. Also that Chris was in an early incarnation of No Use for a Name and was employed at Fat Wreck Chords in the 90s.
interesting seeing the dynamic between Fat Mike and Finn. They seem to get along, then not get along, then get along then not, and thats what made the show very interesting. had to hit that sub button
Wow, i got into NOFX through Heavy Petting Zoo and i found Finn McKenty through RUclips, because i like a whole lot of different genres of Music. Love ´em both and its awesome to see Finn on Mikes Podcast. Finn has a great show and always puts a perspective on Genres and/or Bands that you might have not considert before which broadens your horizon, which in itself is a good thing.
Finn introduced me to Slam and how to think like an adult in regards to heavy music when I was a lil dude. 💪🏼 cheers fin, SYWH was a staple in my development when I was surrounded by crusty angry hardcore gatekeepers
Don’t ever comment on RUclips videos ever. But it was great to see mike have Finn on. And I thought I’d ask if there was any plans to get someone on the show to talk about the writing process for nofx songs. I have been wondering for years about a lot of songs through the decades that nofx has put out and what kind of story’s would be associated with the lyrics. Anyways great show and big fan of all 3 fellas on the show.
@@charlietate5514 Right!?!...I had no clue they narrated their own book until I pressed play... Was such a dope surprise and like you said made it so much more personal I could actually picture the stories as they were telling them... An amazing Autobiography on the guys as individuals and NOFX as a whole
Mike: I gotta tell you, I don't want to get into details, but YOUR VOICE and YOUR SONGS have saved my life twice. I full on love you for what art youve put into this udderly (yes I said udderly,) fucked world. Your harmonies, both vocal, and musical, make my heart warm. It's like not Bracket level, but yours are so much better. AndI like Bracket. It's like a punk rock barbershop quartet. I love it. Thank you, Not that Fat at all Mike. Thank you.
Mike at the end once they start talking about guns 🤣 I've been in a butt stock, where's the dolls show 🤣😂😂😂 ends it with I'm not a Chad you are, Classic!!
Thanks for being such a valuable resource for the youth of today. It’s such a massive collection of music, one genre leading to another, all the influences contributing to scenes from town to town… it’s a difficult story to encapsulate and impossible to capture the energy but it’s important for young punks to have a resource to reference to keep things straight. It’s all about the bands and the scene, but most of all the accessible MUSIC.
Wow! I don't think I've ever learned so much obscure music trivia in such a short time before! That was rad! Not sure if I'll ever need to use the info but I enjoyed it either way! MORE!... Please.
Haha sick. Been a fan of NoFx since I was young enough to have to hide listening to punk from my parents before high school and a fan of Finn Mckenty for the past few years on RUclips and now his Twitch channel too. This was a really cool dynamic to see.
Warped tour 2009, that shit cracked me up about the barbeque (apparently Mike put the Under Oath family bible they took on all their tours etc, and barbecued them burgers with it, at least thats what he said..., hilarious)
This podcast is so all over the place haha. I love Fat Mike, his guests are fucking amazing, shit Doug Stanhope! But every single podcast is just so all over the place and I love it!
G-d, I remember how Fat Wreckchords was like, the biggest fuxking, most important label imaginable...I remember my friend saying, "every band that signs to Fat starts to sound like NoFX," and I thought that was ok because NoFX had such an amazing sound...That voice! Those guitars!
Nice Skints shirt! I saw them open up for Flogging Molly and Tiger Army in Charlotte NC. I had never heard of them before that show and I was pleasantly surprised.
Mike get on the horn and get some of your punk buddy's on the cast. We need Milo, Russ from good riddance, Fletcher, Joey Cape and last but not least would be absolutely hilarious if you had Henry Rollins on.
Wow, I thought Cokie the clown was just an alter ego. I'd like to see Mike on some of that ole fashioned ephedra hells angels crank and see if it settles him down. 😁
Hey Mike a good friend of mine told me “You can’t stop the wind” we were having a conversation about how you can’t change people. By the way I fucking love NOFX because they’re so bad ass and I just saw your podcast tonight. Don’t ever comment on shit and I’ve commented on your TikTok and on this too which is crazy but I just feel like I should tell you you can’t stop the wind go outside and try you can divert it but you can’t stop it
Honored to be on the show, thank you so much for having me!
Enjoyed the video.. Everytime he refers to you as "The guy from the internet" made me chuckle. Fat Mike's brain works in such a unique way.
Dude you rock, happy for your success
The main reason you're in this podcast is the ugly cheap emojis in your thumbnails tho
I remember 3 years ago when I first saw your “how did (insert band) get big” videos. Now to see you talking to Fat Mike. Congratulations Punk Rock MBA. Well deserved.
It was very entertaining. Good job 👍
I liked how Finn is a huge NOFX and Fat Mike fan and still stayed firm on his opinions and straight up called him an asshole
LMAO of how Mike was getting his ass ignored when they started talking guns and ended the interview hahaha
I love how Mike didn’t know any of the bands Flynn mentioned
Was excellent, absolutely!
is he a HUGE NOFX Fan though??? i feel like thats a very wrong statement
It's thoroughly enjoyable watching Mike get ignored while finn and Sam talk about guns 😅 this was an awesome episode!
Same! Fuuuuuuunny
@@harmoniousveselka8421 lmfao right! 😂😂
Yup. Fat Mike is a narcissist so it's nice to see him feel out of place.
I was dying!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ugh you're a chad.
Watching Mike unravel because he’s not the center of attention is absolutely hilarious. He has his work cut out for him with just Sam, but up against Sam and Finn? He never stood a chance. One of the best episodes so far.
This is what sent me to the comment section.
Agreed.
I was crying
I really enjoyed that. Mike met his match. Mike is smart, quick witted, and used humor alot. This other dude was smart, quick witted, and armed with logic/reason, and was very matter of fact. Was great to watch. A great dynamic.
"More hair than brain cells" in reference to skinheads is by FAR the hottest take on the internet right now. Love you Mike.
shit had me dying 😂😂
I love Mike, he is always great, but he's a very domineering personality, it's very interesting to watch him come up against a very strong personality. I love Finn's content, I don't always agree with his opinions but he doesn't compromise on them. I think Mike is used to people just capitulating to his opinion.
Finn seems more smarter then Mike and Mike don’t seem to like that
@@ianbarrett4166 yep, and he doesnt like being challenged lol I love Mike but im so glad Finn didnt pull his punches in this one. made for a very interesting episode.
Which is why he has to be added as a regular host.
What he said about black metal is wrong and shows he doesn’t listen to enough black metal
To even compare glam metal with black metal smh 🤦♂️
@@bloodmoon4012 wasn’t he referring to the aesthetic
I could definitely feel the tension in that room when Mike was asking questions about Finn's aunt
I left a comment about that.... Man the air in there was thick! Finn would annihilate Mike!
yeah that was bordering on being disrespectful, Finn handled it very well though
Yeah I thought that was too far.
Well Mike has a very deep story about his mother dying so maybe he felt connected to Finn in some way
Fr Finn would drop Mike if it got physical
I love how Mike doesn't even bother with trim plates on his electrical boxes but has frames on his art. Priorities 👍
He has come a long way from having a floor... See what I did there? Hehe. Loving your show Mike! One of the highlights of my week.
Haha.... good eye. I'm fucking dying laughing now!
This episode has such chaotic energy. Especially during the quiz/test. Also the first episode I’ve ever seen.
Yeah that quiz was hilarious Finn was so fucking salty
This is the level of professionalism I've come to expect from Fat Mike.
Yo Finn, your genuineness really comes through opposite Fat Mike. When keeping it real doesn’t go wrong haha.
Love both of these people. Very interesting dynamic when they're both in the same room. Love how Mike just asks random ass, off-the-wall, "inappropriate" questions. It's like if the Eric Andre show became a punk podcast
That was a great episode. Finn held his own! Yes, Mike looking into the camera during gun talk cracked me up. Lots of good laughs in this one.
Watching Finn explain to Mike where he is on the Incel/Chad spectrum is pretty epic.
Straight edge bands that broke edge would be a good video.
That would be a long ass video
Check out torso new straight edge band that hasn’t yet
Crass era punk rock is hands down the most intelligent era of music, whether or not you buy into the realism of Anarchism as a viable and realistic societal structure.

Never thought I would hear Fat Mike talk about Bring me the Horizon
Finn roasting Mike is my favourite RUclips thing this year
When? Time stamp please?!
I do like how generally positive Finn is to so many things. For most things, he calls balls and strikes, but he general ends his videos on speaking from the band's and the scene's perspective saying "hey for that time, for that group, for what it was, it was cool."
I watch Finn all the time. Really good to see him being interviewed for once… by Fat Mike, nonetheless! Thoroughly enjoyable.
I loved the awkward defensive wit of Finn, and mike's banter makes you wonder what on earth he's gonna say next lol. The drama it creates was so watchable
The chemistry here is so good. The straight man vs the joker, just great. I hope you guys can do more together.
My favorite part about this is Mike is a millionaire but doesn’t have covers on his electrical outlets.
Hell yeah Finn is on the show! Some people might not like him but IMO I think he pretty much nails it on the head with (most) of the bands he does but some could be more looked at and some could be more cherished
FANTASTIC and hilarious interview! Love Finn bringing out the whiteboard and insisting Mike is a Chad 😂
During the bringing up the power violence subgenre, Finn should have mentioned Chris Dodge and his band Spazz. Also that Chris was in an early incarnation of No Use for a Name and was employed at Fat Wreck Chords in the 90s.
Was wondering if Spazz was going to be brought up 😢
I was shocked Mike didn’t know what power violence was
@@ianbarrett4166 I think he knew what is was at one point, but forgot due to all the drugs and alcohol use.
can we have finn as a regular on the show? loving the flow of conversation on this one 🤘🏻😎
Defo a regular slot would be great
this was a lot of fun.
Totally agree
interesting seeing the dynamic between Fat Mike and Finn. They seem to get along, then not get along, then get along then not, and thats what made the show very interesting. had to hit that sub button
Enjoyed the show. Finn made some serious points while being chill.
Fat Mike: asks opinions and clarifies whether or not the opinion is trash
Also Fat Mike: “I’m a CHAD?!”
Mike isn't a Chad. He's an Alpha-Chad.
Im not familiar with punk rock or Fat Mike but you have won me over with your channel. I dig it.
I would love to see Mike on Tigerbelly…
as a massive live long metal fan, this is the best interview I have ever seen
"Yeah but Motley Crue & Mike" loved that reaction🤣
Wow, i got into NOFX through Heavy Petting Zoo and i found Finn McKenty through RUclips, because i like a whole lot of different genres of Music. Love ´em both and its awesome to see Finn on Mikes Podcast. Finn has a great show and always puts a perspective on Genres and/or Bands that you might have not considert before which broadens your horizon, which in itself is a good thing.
Growing up with NOFX, I now prefer to refer to him as Robust Michael.
I saw Sum 41 sit it with Micheal Diamond and Metal Shop at the viper room. They played a few tunes, but absolutely slayed crazy train.
Great interview fellas. Been a NOFX fan for years and just stumbled upon this RUclips channel.
Keep it up, I'd listen to this shit every day.
Finn introduced me to Slam and how to think like an adult in regards to heavy music when I was a lil dude. 💪🏼 cheers fin, SYWH was a staple in my development when I was surrounded by crusty angry hardcore gatekeepers

Dude, buy Hepatitis Bathtub... It'll explain a lot. I've got the paperback and audiobook
@@charlietate5514 The audiobook was amazing, especially because the boys read it to me
@@EternallyUnhappy It was amazing 🤭 I'm glad they narrated it themselves, it made the stories more personal. 🤘
@@charlietate5514 Right!?!...I had no clue they narrated their own book until I pressed play... Was such a dope surprise and like you said made it so much more personal I could actually picture the stories as they were telling them... An amazing Autobiography on the guys as individuals and NOFX as a whole
@@charlietate5514 hands down the best music autobiography iv ever read
the end of this podcast getting into guns was epic.
It seemed to bug a lot of people in the comments for some reason. I enjoyed it, but my opinion doesn't count!
Mike: I gotta tell you, I don't want to get into details, but YOUR VOICE and YOUR SONGS have saved my life twice. I full on love you for what art youve put into this udderly (yes I said udderly,) fucked world. Your harmonies, both vocal, and musical, make my heart warm.

Mike’s handling of 12:50 had me rolling. “Are you still close? …not with the uncle.”
31:35 thats right Finn call it like you see it bro thats why we rock with you
This is amazing I love both of these guys and seeing the wildly different personalities interact is fantastic
Mike at the end once they start talking about guns 🤣 I've been in a butt stock, where's the dolls show 🤣😂😂😂 ends it with I'm not a Chad you are, Classic!!

Great episode! The first thought that popped up in my mind of a chad virgin band was Pennywise!
Wow! I don't think I've ever learned so much obscure music trivia in such a short time before! That was rad! Not sure if I'll ever need to use the info but I enjoyed it either way! MORE!... Please.
Haha sick. Been a fan of NoFx since I was young enough to have to hide listening to punk from my parents before high school and a fan of Finn Mckenty for the past few years on RUclips and now his Twitch channel too. This was a really cool dynamic to see.
Finn's anxiety is tangible as fuck
It's Mike's job to keep punk rock elite...
Love the fact that Finn explained the Chad diagram to Mike
.. Separation of Church and Skate is an amazing born again anthem...
Time Warp Tour!
Warped tour 2009, that shit cracked me up about the barbeque (apparently Mike put the Under Oath family bible they took on all their tours etc, and barbecued them burgers with it, at least thats what he said..., hilarious)
this editor is top tier comedic gold. I see you editor.
This podcast is so all over the place haha. I love Fat Mike, his guests are fucking amazing, shit Doug Stanhope! But every single podcast is just so all over the place and I love it!
This whole thing sounds like a reading of the MRR LETTERS SECTION.

It's a nu metal band of evil clowns that bang on trash cans. LMAO 🤣
Lol what the fuck is that take?
@@guadalupesepulveda8078 Slurpnut. oops I meant Slipknot
@@psychotropictraveler514 me and my friends called them slapknuts
Mike having a podcast is exceptional entertainment. thank goodness for Mike.
Haha his face when asked favorite ska/punk band.
We all know he wanted to say there are no good Ska bands
Fat Mike's many breaths out into the microphone make this all so much better.
Finn hates Ska because people in high-school and nothing more. That questionnaire was splendid. An Mike really was classy.
Love the fact that Finn stands firm on his love for Pantera.
This has to be one of my favourite episodes.
Mike: "I've been in a butt stock before." And no one laughed. Honestly criminal. That was hilarious.
"If all these people think we're wrong, maybe we're wrong."
Infallible logic there, Fat Mike.
Finn bless his heart. Is a pretentious Chad
While being a toxic virgin at the same time, quite a talent actually.
“Not a lot of Jews outside Israel arm themselves” 😂
Nice Skints shirt! I saw them open up for Flogging Molly and Tiger Army in Charlotte NC. I had never heard of them before that show and I was pleasantly surprised.
This is the best podcast I’ve ever watched. Thanks for the knowledge fam
"can't believe i'm a chad!" fantastic
That’s what’s weird . It’s called Punk Rock MBA but it’s mostly metal bands
It's not though, it's mostly trendy popular crap.
@@xenos_n. nah, not nowadays. you obviously havnt tuned in in quite a while
Mike get on the horn and get some of your punk buddy's on the cast. We need Milo, Russ from good riddance, Fletcher, Joey Cape and last but not least would be absolutely hilarious if you had Henry Rollins on.
😂 Fat Mike making Underoath atheist is the funniest band theory I've ever heard.
“Slipknot = Edgy BlueMan Group.”
I love how they kept the save ferris thing anonymous in their book only for mike to say it in like 12000 interviews
Update: I saw fat mike in the hallway at punk in drublic and he unprompted insulted my hair (as if he's unaquainted with the jewfro) Big honor!
Randy is indeed the best swedish punk band
Bombshell Rocks for me.
Satanic Surfers
Satanic Surfers 💥
Mike gets so frustrated when they start talking to each other. Ha. Good stuff.
Had no idea Fat Mike had a podcast but the combination of Mike and Finn is pretty cool, gonna check out some other episodes after this
the ending was tremendous, I’ll be tuning into Sam’s podcast from Sam’s basement next time as well 🍻
ruclips.net/video/OvqFHVec-LI/видео.html
This was a fun interview. Finn is awesome.
But you gotta turn the exposure up on your camera. It's painfully dark.
Telling someone you're inspiring me to get a moat is low key hilarious and a good rip.
Great posture Finn
He sits like a true Chad should
It was nice to watch you two have some adult conversations
Omg! Love the Meffs! ❤👊 Great show Fat Mike and Fin
The 3 of them together is amazing. Great energy. Hilarious.
For the sake of good music and good sense, this interview should be called "Finn Mckenty DEBUNKED".
Wow Finn and Fat Mike never thought I'd see this
The look on Mike’s face made me laugh out loud just before the graph and then totally ignored during the 2nd hysterical face. Moats don’t kill H2O Do!
Hit the nail on the head with the Living Color statement. I wish they had even a fraction of the chili peppers numbers. Such
a better band.
Why does this feel like satire
Cuz fat Mike
Mike in a Skints Tshirt. Great fucking band
we need more finn graphs
Wow, I thought Cokie the clown was just an alter ego. I'd like to see Mike on some of that ole fashioned ephedra hells angels crank and see if it settles him down. 😁
Hey Mike a good friend of mine told me “You can’t stop the wind” we were having a conversation about how you can’t change people. By the way I fucking love NOFX because they’re so bad ass and I just saw your podcast tonight. Don’t ever comment on shit and I’ve commented on your TikTok and on this too which is crazy but I just feel like I should tell you you can’t stop the wind go outside and try you can divert it but you can’t stop it
This was AMAZEBALLS! Thank you!
