MIKEY & THE MADDOG SHOW is the result of a nine-year friendship between filmmaker Mikey Messier and legendary radio personality Angelo “Maddog” DiSipio—a relationship that began with a podcast guest appearance and evolved into a creative partnership built on chemistry, trust, and an unwillingness to pull punches.

Mikey brings a filmmaker’s eye, sharp interviewing instincts, and a natural gift for storytelling. Maddog brings decades of broadcasting experience, straight-shooting commentary, and the confidence to challenge an idea rather than simply agree with it.

There are no public-relations handlers in the room. No corporate safety net. No carefully rehearsed talking points. Just two longtime friends willing to follow a conversation wherever it goes—from serious discussion to comedy, debate, memories, controversy, and the occasional completely unexpected detour.

That chemistry is the show. What begins as a topic can become a debate, a story, a rant, or a trip down memory lane within seconds. The result feels less like a conventional interview program and more like being invited into a conversation between two people who have known each other long enough to say exactly what they think.

Real conversations happen when nobody is afraid to say what they really think.
