The Mike Styles Experience

I'm here to share my thoughts and sometimes my experiences about the things that happen in our society and the people who live in it. Some of it is good, but most of it is bad. I'm trying to understand why some people do the things that they do and what drives them to do it.

    When Loving Your Child Goes Too Far

    Just when you think you’ve seen and heard it all, another story comes along that makes you question how far people are willing to go for family. In this episode, I’m talking about the Mount Vernon shooting case involving a 20-year-old man accused of being involved in a drive-by shooting—and the allegations that his own mother acted as a getaway driver. His father is also accused of being involved and is currently on the run. What really stands out to me isn't just the alleged crime itself. It's the fact that we're talking about parents who, according to the allegations, became involved in their adult son's criminal activity. As a parent, I understand loving your children and wanting to protect them. But there's a line that has to be drawn. You can love your child without helping them commit a crime. You can support your child without allowing their choices to destroy your life. At 20 years old, he's an adult. If he chooses that lifestyle despite his parents' guidance, there comes a point where you have to step back and let him face the consequences of his own decisions. Sometimes loving your child means standing beside them. And sometimes it means standing back and saying, "I'm not going down this road with you." This is my take on a story involving family, accountability, bad decisions, and the consequences that can follow when those lines get crossed. These are my personal thoughts and commentary based on publicly reported allegations.

    When Standing on Business Turns Into a Legal Battle

    In this episode, I discuss the situation involving a Memphis mother who is facing serious legal charges after a 20-year-old man was discovered in her child’s bedroom. The case has sparked a major debate about self-defense, a parent’s instinct to protect their child, and where the line is between protection and taking things too far. I break down the questions surrounding the mother’s actions, the legal battle ahead, and the difficult conversation about how one decision in a heated moment can change multiple lives forever. Content warning: This episode discusses a shooting, violence, and a criminal case involving a minor. Listener discretion is advised.

    The Diploma Should Be the Story, Not the Dance

    A Chicago graduate sparked controversy after performing a dance during her graduation ceremony, leading to her diploma being temporarily withheld. She ultimately received her diploma and is headed to college, but the incident raises a bigger question: Are we becoming too focused on attention and viral moments? In this episode, I discuss personal responsibility, public behavior, and why major accomplishments should speak for themselves.

    When Ego Can’t Handle “No”

    In this episode, we break down the New York pizzeria attack that led to a 17-year prison sentence — a violent incident triggered by a customer refusing to follow a basic health code rule about dogs in restaurants. I discuss what really happened inside that pizza shop, why the situation escalated so fast, and how ego, entitlement, and unchecked anger are turning everyday conflicts into life-changing tragedies. This case is a powerful reminder that our choices matter, and the consequences can be severe. If you’re interested in real stories, public safety, accountability, and the psychology behind violent behavior, this episode is for you. Take care, stay safe, and make better choices.
