604 AITAH For Ruining Everything? A Scathing Review

About this episode

Mike Herrera discusses tour experiences, critiques from fans, and book recommendations in this solo episode.

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)…
