The host, Mike, is not only incredibly funny but also genuine and relatable. He has a way of keeping me entertained while also keeping me informed about current events. Listening to this podcast is like indulging in warm baked chocolate cookies - it's comforting, enjoyable, and always leaves me wanting more.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the candidness with which Mike shares his experiences as a comedian. While it's interesting to hear professional comedians talk about their struggles, there's something refreshing about hearing someone share their experiences in real-time. Mike's ability to navigate through challenges and find humor in them is truly admirable.

As for the worst aspects of this podcast, it's hard to find any significant flaws. However, one minor downside could be that some episodes lack structure or direction. While spontaneity can be entertaining, there are moments when it feels like the conversation veers off topic or becomes disjointed.

In conclusion, The Michael Oldroyd - Comedy Podcast is an absolute delight to listen to.

Once again, Mike is too tired after recording this episode to write a description that does the episode justice. If you love Trump, ignore the first segment of what's going on in the world... or don't ignore it and let me mold your political opinion.
In this episode, Mike talks about... how about you just listen to it & find out for yourself?!
Mike honors mom's on Mother's Day and has his own mom as a guest on in the final segment of the episode
Mike records from NYC and talks about how he's been there the last few weeks doing damage.
Michael (aka me) is tipsy right now and thus, I do not feel like writing a description, nor do I feel like asking Chat GPT to do my work for me because I'm honest and I treat my AI better than you treat your employees!
Mike talks about everything from personal updates to politics, comedy, and deep thoughts on life. He starts off with the cold weather, and how Valentine's Day also marks his rent's anniversary (and his conception date). He also touches on the Super Bowl, from Seal's commercial to Kanye's, and recognizes Black History Month before diving into Apple's massive $500 billion investment in the U.S. The podcast also includes the market's recent dip, AI's fast evolution, with Deep Seek AI, Grok3's take on Musk, ChatGPT, and Copilot making waves. More topics include Trump's executive orders and Trump Coin, including some of the biggest issues—immigration, Guantanamo Bay's expansion, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and Trump calling Zelensky a dictator. There's also Elon Musk's whatever you wanna call it, lawsuits pushing back against his/their moves, and a government whose bureaucracy looks like what Musk calls balls of worms. Meanwhile, media networks are shifting, with MSNBC leaning more right, and Trump likely aiming to cut NPR's funding, which would force it to find alternative ways to survive. Mike also reflects on Jimmy Carter's legacy beyond politics. Mike admits that he's been using ChatGPT for dating advice—but not for comedy writing. AI is supposed to serve us, not the other way around, like droids in Star Wars. Speaking of which, he's looking forward to Andor 2, enjoyed Gladiator 2, and is excited for the new season of Daredevil. On the entertainment side, LA fires were raging and seem to be done. The comedy world has been eventful, with SNL's 50th anniversary bringing some standout moments—Zach Galifianakis' Kanye bit, and Steve Martin and Martin Short keeping it fresh while steering clear of Trump and Elon. Kanye's Super Bowl commercial was also worth a mention. Mike talks about writing a recent SNL sketch about Elon, discusses a recent Kill Tony appearance in St. Louis, and catching a bit of Ali Wong's new special. In his comedy journey, he discusses talking to a company about sports commentating and considering cruise ship gigs. But the main focus remains keeping his comedy an art and avoiding the trap of overextending for social media or chasing algorithms. Artistic autonomy, both financially and creatively, is something he values deeply.Looking back on 2024, he realizes he missed a few things—some shows, speaking engagements, and even a celebrity golf tournament that I somehow didn't perform at (seriously, what happened there?). I also did a podcast with Libbie Higgins in 2024, and worked on a sketch in NYC with Dom Leonelli.On a personal level, he's been reflecting on the notion that what we do today echoes in eternity. He shares some Gasperilla 2025 stories, talks about a moment when he almost flew to NYC just for fun, and recounts a guy in a minivan trying to race him in his Tesla. There's also a car accident story in there somewhere. He wraps up with some inspiration from Christopher Reeve and a reminder that life, much like weightlifting, is about pushing forward—you either drown or you fight your way back up, sometimes after you drown.Tune in and let's dive in.
Mike talks about his new years reflections whilst wearing a butt plug.
"Mike dives into a festive blend of heartwarming updates, comedy highlights, and personal reflections. As we celebrate the season of Christmas and Hanukkah, he touches on some uplifting world news, including the hopeful 90% progress toward a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine, as well as changes in Syrian leadership that could have significant implications for the region. Avoiding heavier topics too much, he focuses on positivity, including trending holiday movies like Gladiator 2: Bonhoeffer and Moana 2, along with Netflix's romantic comedy, Hot Frosty and other seasonal favorites like Nut Crackers and Dear Santa. On the comedy front, we talk about viral laughs, including a German Shepherd's hilarious reaction to a green bean and the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards, showcasing adorable and funny animal moments. He also reflects on some of his own comedy milestones. The episode takes a heartfelt turn as he shares stories from the recent trolley shows, where 90-minute tours of twinkling lights and sold-out crowds created lasting memories. He recounts meeting unique and unforgettable characters, from the “Cindy Lou's” and Chico (aka Jose) to a stranger who called him an angel after leaving a hefty tip. These interactions, coupled with moments of joy and gratitude, hopefully remind us of the connections that make this time of year so special. Finally, he closes with a reflection on the universal goodness of angels, Bruce Wayne, Santa, and Jesus, transcending beliefs and offering a prayer for the world. This episode is a warm, reflective, and funny celebration of the season, filled with moments to make you laugh, think, and feel inspired." - Chat GPT
