Shootin’ The Shit With Wiley & Mic

Welcome to Shootin’ the Shit with Wiley and Mic. After five seasons of “professional” podcasting, we’ve retired the official brew reviews and the deep-dive album analysis to bring you exactly what you actually came for: two old friends talking about random shit. There’s no agenda, no guest list, and definitely no structure. Grab a cup of whatever you’re drinking—we aren’t even going to review it—and join Wiley Willis (ex-2Minute Minor) and Mic Cox (ex-Zao) as we officially stop trying and start just… shootin’ the shit.

Latest Episodes:

We're Back. You're Welcome Apr 01, 2026

They're BACK!!! Whether you’re a longtime listener from the Coffee and Hardcore days or just joining the chaos, the filters are officially off. Wiley and Mic are stripping things back to basics: no scripts, no forced segments, just two hosts doing what they do best—talking shit.

In this episode, the guys lean into the new era of the show, catching up on everything they’ve been holding back. It’s raw, it’s loud, and it’s exactly how this started. It's Talking Shit with Wiley and Mic!

Help Beth Warshowsky Fight Cancer

Traveling To Give

From Adam Warshowsky (Sleeping By The Riverside)

"Beth, my wife of 30 years, and the love of my life, has been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in her pelvic floor. She has already had two surgeries but this is just the beginning. The doctors have said that she's going to need chemotherapy in addition to other surgeries which will involve seeing specialists and could stretch well into the year. She has an extremely positive attitude and wants to fight. She is even looking into alternative means of healing. Unfortunately all of this is going to cost quite a bit of money. Honestly I don't even know how much to ask for in the goal, so it may change. Beth has already beat cancer once when she had a radical hysterectomy due to uterine cancer in 2008. Anyone who has had someone in their family with cancer knows that it affects your everyday life. Beth and I have three wonderful children who will do their best to help, but I will need to be by her side for some of these treatments and appointments which means missing days of work occasionally. At this point I have no idea what the medications cost because our last experience with cancer was completely different. Naturally, we have some fear and trepidation but Beth is being very positive and we are going to help her get through this. Please search your heart and give as much as you can. Share the link on all of your social media and send it in emails to people you believe would be willing to help. We appreciate anything that you can do, small or large. Everything counts. Love to all of our friends and family. Thank you."
