    We Built a Live Fact-Checker. It Immediately Lied to Us.

    Check Out the Website: https://if-this-doesnt-work.pages.dev/Justin and Mike are back for a two-man episode that starts with one surprisingly serious question: why is saying “I love you” so much harder than just saying “love you”?Then everything falls apart.This week we're digging into the Ig Nobel Prizes, frozen poop knives, cockroach milk, military dolphins, zebra-striped cows, a 103-year-old Pasadena legend, stolen PBR, missing Mozart statues and some of the strangest real research ever attempted.We also finally put Mike's new live fact-checker to work which means we discovered very quickly that “HIGH CONFIDENCE” does not necessarily mean “correct.”Plus: what Charleston White figured out about letting the internet create your content for you, Mike's questionable theory about keeping his dating standards grounded, and the deal that could finally get Mike into therapy:10,000 SUBSCRIBERS = MIKE DOES THERAPY ON THE PODCAST.Check the link below for the new If This Doesn't Work site. You can suggest a guest, apply to come on the show, send us a story to discuss, or submit something completely anonymously.Subscribe, comment, send us something weird and tell your friends you love them.Actually say the whole thing.“I love you.”📌 Support the show:Join Patreon: https://patreon.com/IfThisDoesntWork?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&utm_content=copyLinkJoin YouTube Members for $0.99/month for exclusive content, bonus episodes & behind-the-scenes chaos.

    The “Rock Star Lifestyle” Came Before the Band | Nick Troisi of Omen Skye

    Before Nick Troisi ever became the vocalist of Omen Skye, he spent years living what he calls the “rock-star lifestyle” without actually having the band. He joins Justin and Mike to talk about addiction, getting sober, learning to scream in his car and finally using the musical potential he thought he had wasted.Nick takes us through the whole path: getting cut from Chesapeake JV football, receiving his first guitar, using music to process his parents’ divorce, auditioning as a vocalist with two weeks of practice, surviving his first show and selling 84 tickets at Omen Skye’s second performance.They also get into the reality of building a metalcore band in 2026: management, promoters, PR, distribution, international listeners, expensive Instagram advertising, synchronized stage production and the deeply annoying requirement that every musician also become a content creator.Omen Skye’s new single “Vanquish” arrives August 28. They’ll be performing at Metro Gallery in Baltimore on September 13.Omen Skye links and “Vanquish” pre-save:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omenskyeband/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100091131224729&mibextid=LQQJ4dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCGnWKACBlO2nSmMJRsI59nQ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@omen_skye?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcVanquish: https://arsontheory.vyd.co/VanquishFollow Nick Troisi:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nomadic_fanatic/Subscribe for new episodes of If This Doesn’t Work… every Monday at 9 AM.
