About this episode

Mickey shares his experiences attending Rufus Du Sol's concert and the adventures that followed, including networking and reflections on music.

This week, Mickey is back with a solo episode to discuss his most anticipated night(s) of the year: Rufus Du Sol at MSG! Join Mickey as he details how he spontaneously ended up at a second night of the concert after receiving a free ticket, scamming MSG security into letting him onto the floor, and inevitably ending up front row. He reflects on the emotion of seeing his favorite artists in one of the world's most iconic venues, staying sober to fully enjoy the show, his thoughts on the Innerbloom fans, and, of course, how much the music means to him. As the night continues, so does the story. After missing an event, Mickey heads to the Magic Hour Rooftop to do some networking and ends up befriending a group of law students, including Paul, the hot Asian with the nice chest, a straight who he fell in love with. The group eventually makes its way to Flaming Saddles, the only gay bar Mickey likes, during Pride Weekend, and the debauchery ensues—starting with a flight attendant becoming a new friend and ending with a strange encounter in the bathroom. Stay tuned until the end of the episode for a first-glance review (aka analysis based on TikTok concert footage) of the tours Mickey…
