610 Dose of Nostalgia
What a week. Heading to the UK with Goldfinger for Slam Dunk Festival, and then we kick off our Warped Tour run in DC on June 14. Come see me Friday June 12, downtown Bremerton, free solo acoustic set in the World Cup fan zone, big screen game starts right after. And September 5, MxPx is headlining Punkadeka Festival in Milan, our only European date this year. Working on a new album too. This one is all voicemails. Jason from La Verne calls in about Moments Like This and his daughters growing up fast. Hannah from Carolina wants to know about Tom Wisniewski being our meet and greet talker, and asks what my dream job would be if it wasn't music. And Josh from Silverdale asks about my dad's career in the Navy, the submarines, aircraft carriers, the Bremerton shipyard. Memories, nostalgia, MxPx nostalgia. Love hearing your stories. Tour Dates Slam Dunk Festival UK (with Goldfinger) Friday June 12 - Solo acoustic, downtown Bremerton (free, World Cup fan zone) June 13-14 - Vans Warped Tour, RFK Campus, Washington DC July 25-26 - Vans Warped Tour, Long Beach, CA Saturday September 5 - Punkadeka Festival, Milan, Italy (only European date of 2026) Find MxPx tour info, merch, and updates at mxpx.com Questions or comments?

609 Fourth Corner Punk Fest - Jesse Goodwin
Sat down with Jesse Goodwin, who runs Fourth Corner Punk Fest in Bellingham, Washington. Pennywise, Bouncing Souls, Suicide Machines, and The Vandals are headlining July 18 and 19. Jesse walks through the lineup (also playing are Good Riddance, Authority Zero, Bad Cop, Bad Cop, Diesel Boy, Bite Me Bambi, The Dollheads, War on Women, and Piñata Protest) and to talk about how he ended up running a punk festival. We get into year one at Evil Bikes (Face to Face, Strung Out, Teenage Bottlerocket, Guttermouth), the workload nobody warns you about, why Bellingham gets overlooked by touring bands and the ticket-bot mess we are all dealing with. Fourth Corner Punk Fest is July 18 and 19 at Evil Bikes in Bellingham, WA. All ages. Tickets and info: Questions or comments?

607 Think Funny
This week I’m flying solo on the pod with show announcements and a round of your voicemails. Free Subscriber Sticker Link: (While Supplies Last) Tour news includes a solo acoustic set at the World Cup fan zone in downtown Bremerton on Friday, June 12 (free as far as I know), all the MxPx Warped Tour dates, and a show coming up at Punkadeka Festival in Milan on September 5. I also talk about the Goldfinger drum heads in Seattle that everyone signed except me and why I had to clear that up. Your voicemails cover a few things: new songs on Warped Tour, waiting on a signature bass, why we still do free post-show meet and greets, and why so many stand-up comedians are MxPx fans. I shout out a few comedians I’m into, including Lee Hardin, Ian Fidance, Anthony Jeselnik, Adam Ray, and Scott Losse, and we close on the question that gives the episode its title: how do you think funny?

606 Reach Out All Night
Mike just got back from Denver and he’s not done with your voicemails. Episode 606 wraps up the meet-and-greet conversation from Episode 604 with fan stories that span 1995 to today, plus cover song what-ifs, Screeching Weasel split ideas, show intros, and turning 40. Fresh off the Mission Ballroom in Denver with MxPx, Goldfinger, Zebrahead, and Homegrown, Mike opens with upcoming Warped Tour dates, a new album update, the Punkadeka Festival in Milan on September 5, and a Pacific Northwest show coming at the end of August (TBA). Then it’s another round of voicemails responding to Episode 604’s meet-and-greet moment, with fans from all over sharing what they actually saw at those shows. Mike also gets into the real story behind Left Coast Live, why his Orange Creamsicle Sterling by Music Man hasn’t made it into an MxPx set yet, cover songs that almost were (The Clampdown, Highway to Hell), and what On the Cover 3 might look like. Plus: Mike gives himself a D in Spanish, shares his method for breaking creative blocks, breaks down the psychology of show intros, and talks turning 40 with no party.

605 You Spoke Up - The Pod Community Responds
Episode 605 opens with Mike addressing the wave of community response to last week's meet and greet voicemail, making clear this isn't a pile-on. It's a conversation. This week: Mike opens with a direct message to Michael, apologizing for how big the story blew up and inviting him to come on the podcast. Then: voicemail after voicemail from fans who were at the Charlotte show, The NorVa, Nashville, Chicago's Metro, Anaheim, DC, and San Francisco, all sharing their own meet and greet experiences and perspective on what went down. Callers include an attorney who was in the Charlotte line, a fan who hit the driving range with Mike in 1999 (and remembers Ghoti Hook as the opener), members of Too Bad Eugene, and Hannah from LA, whose question about Mike's background setup closes out the episode with a full show-and-tell tour. Also: New MxPx album update, and the end of the Find a Way Home era. UPCOMING MxPx SHOWS: Jun 12: Mike Herrera Solo Outdoor acoustic show, downtown Bremerton, WA (FIFA World Cup fan zone) Vans Warped Tour 2026: DC (Jun 13-14), and all remaining dates. See mxpx.com.

604 AITAH For Ruining Everything? A Scathing Review
Solo episode. One very critical voicemail, one very fun one, and one about books. Plus: East Coast tour is done, Denver is next, and new MxPx album is getting close. This week: The Find a Way Home Tour with The Ataris wraps up after DC, Norfolk, Charlotte, and Charleston. Mike recaps all four shows and explains why Charlotte might have been the best of the run. Then Michael from the Charlotte meet and greet calls in with a detailed, point-by-point critique of Mike's personality and the podcast, and Mike responds at full length. Jay Gwak (AI Mike) from New York checks in about the DC show, the GSF pin and certificate, pitches a Chick Magnet merch idea, and gets Mike talking about his new baby chicks (Mac and Cheese). Derek from Kentucky calls in a two-parter: first asking about an MxPx book, then asking what Mike is reading. Answer: Blake Crouch and a book called Enshittification. Also: Bob got sick and missed Charlotte, the stickers didn't make it, and Mike is not done processing Michael's voicemail. UPCOMING MxPx SHOWS: Apr 11: Mission Ballroom, Denver, CO (w/ Goldfinger, Zebrahead, Home Grown) Vans Warped Tour 2026: DC (Jun 13–14), Long Beach (late Jul), Montreal (late Aug), Mexico City (Sep 13), Orlando (Nov 14–15) Sep 5: Punkadeka Festival, Milan, Italy (exclusive European date)

Dave from Omaha asks about the new Yellowcard album and Mike gives a real, honest take. A mystery caller accidentally tries to sign up for Naked and Afraid, which sends Mike down a full reality TV rabbit hole: Survivor, Big Brother, The Traitors, and which one he would actually do. And Anderson calls in from the Dallas show at Southside Ballroom. Plus: Zebrahead has a new song out, shoutout to Ben Osmundson, sullvn breakdown, new MxPx album update, and why you should get out to a show this summer. Questions or comments?

All About That Bass #593

All About That Bass #593
My first bass was Peavey T-40 and my latest bass guitar is the Orange Creamsicle. The Mike Herrera Artist Series StingRay is instantly recognizable — a bass shaped by decades on the road with MxPx. Mike Herrera brings his signature style to the classic StingRay with passive electronics, simplified controls, a color-matched headstock, and a custom Pokinatcha pickguard. Available now! Switching from playing with my fingers to a flat pick revealed! MxPx shows coming up MXPX vs. Tumbledown Album Prep. - A Comparison. Did we make it? Was there a time where we knew I wouldn’t have to work at day job? Never crossed my mind. I knew I would never have a day job as soon as I started touring. And it had nothing to do with money. I never thought about the future other than making and performing music. Is that naïve? Yes. But I think that’s what it takes sometimes to just keep going no matter what.
