In this special episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike is off enjoying some well-earned vacation time—which means Ashley and Broccoli Rob are left to hold down the fort. But instead of keeping things business as usual, they turn the episode into a full-blown Comedy Central Roast. Fan favorite guests return to "audition" for Mike’s seat, but let’s be honest… it’s mostly an opportunity to take some passive-aggressive (and wildly accurate) shots at the man himself. From his questionable grasp on geography to his love of CROCS and his collection of overused catchphrases, nothing is off limits. And while everyone has their moment behind the mic, one thing becomes abundantly clear: no one can truly replace Mike. This light-hearted, laugh-out-loud episode is a must-listen for longtime fans of the show—and a reminder that behind every Ironman is a triathlete with quirks worth celebrating.
