Underdog Bites - Still in the mix for 2026

What a year it has been! Yeah, I state that every year but that’s only because every year surpasses the one from before for me and MachoMike.TV with the increase in growth and engagement from you. All of YOU Underdogs who take time out of your day to check me out. Many thanks.

A brief recap of 2025

Each year I make tweaks to MachoMike.TV and 2025 was no different. New Macho Merchandise is still being designed and listed. Some of my videos have new thumbnails and some of them have had tweaks to the lighting and backgrounds to enhance a certain mood.

My audience is still growing sure and steady from social media followers to video view counts. The Macho Stream is also flowing nicely on Twitch twice a month. Still waiting on faster internet services before I can really upgrade, but at least those pesky internet dropouts seem to have been resolved. Check me out when I go live on Twitch at: https://www.twitch.tv/machomike_tv 😎        

Over the summer we celebrated 5 years of MachoMike.TV (!!!) with a different type of video of me giving a tour through the Macho Dojo and a NEW Macho Mix music video featuring some of my best highlights that can only be seen on my website.  Check out the 5 Year Anniversary Special here!!

Shortly after celebrating my 5th Year, I made a surprise trip to upstate NY to check out “Diamond” Dave himself live at the Turning Stone Casino and then visited the Sci-Fi Horrorfest in nearby Vernon Downs. Dennis Gager and his wife Tiffani Beth were very polite and true fans of horror and science fiction. They only want the best experience for the fans, for the guests, for the vendors, and everyone involved. I’m glad I got the chance to buy Tiffani a drink to show my appreciation. As fun as it was meeting celebrity guests like William Forsythe and Tyler Mane and Lisa Wilcox, I was more interested in meeting some fellow content creators and artists like the crew from G33KPOD who not only took the time to show me around the fest, but also engaged in several great conversations with me throughout the weekend. There was also Joe & Sean from Movie Dumpster who were super cool guys. It was also good saying hello to Cecil Trachenburg from GoodBadFlicks and letting him know how much I enjoy his videos. But the real reason I decided to go to the Sci-Fi Horrorfest was to finally meet Static and Grimm after interacting with them online for so long. I am happy to report they are just as great in person as they are online. We posed for pictures with each other, I bought some merch from some very talented vendors, Grimm introduced me to Gibeaa from his Discord server and Static even baked cookies to share for the event! I cannot speak highly enough of everyone I met. What a great experience! Be sure to check out Sci-Fi Horrorfest at: https://www.sci-fihorrorfest.com 😎

For 2026

You KNOW I have more ideas planned and some of these will be bigger than ever including an international edition of ON TOUR and some other SPECIAL videos and, of course, my upcoming 6 Year Anniversary Special… but I don’t like to announce anything before it’s a done deal. You Underdogs should know by now that the Macho content for 2026 will not only be a continuation from 2025 but also an evolution.

But what do you Underdogs most want to see from me? More of a certain type of content? More crossovers with other content creators? Videos with storylines? Let me know! 

News, videos, and other Macho updates will always be posted to the website first so keep checking http://MachoMike.TV frequently for the latest with yours truly, Macho Mike.

As always, THANK YOU SO MUCH to all you Underdogs for joining me!

We are still in the mix for 2026!

Keep it Macho 😎
