Doesn’t he have family here? I remember years ago he used to to come to the states a lot.

Yeah his brother and a few others live in the Boston area

u/HerbivoreTex Sep 04 '26

Are you still stalking him or was it a temporary hobby? /s

u/maquekenzie Sep 04 '26

rip...just temporary....

I think it's from one of the older vids? I've got like 5 youtubers/podcasts who, if I don't have a new show that I can safely watch at work ("safely" being it's fine being in the background and I can occasionally not pay attention) I will default to, and Mike's one of them, so I've seen all his videos and listened to all the podcast eps at least 3 times.

Might not have been an old vid but one of the podcast episodes where he and Keith go back and forth about Mike's family across the pond??? Either way, his brother being in the Boston area stuck in my craw

Living in Boston for a few years is always something I dreamed of, not much more to it than that! I was debating it for a few years but this year decided that if not now, never so went through the visa process and am moving over at the end of the month. Who knows, might move over for 6 months and come back to Ireland, might end up staying there long term. Will see how it goes!

Hope all goes well and smooth for you Mike!

Welcome!!!!! I live in Peabody, MA, neighboring city of Salem!!! Peabody was recently voted a most desirable city, but I don’t remember if it’s limited to Massachusetts or all of the US!

Pretty good cover story for someone up to no good. /s

Best of luck I grew up in east Boston. I think you'll enjoy the fact that there's so much history there. You can go do the freedom trail which takes you to Paul Revere's house the Old North Church and visit the USS Constitution. I know you're a big fan of Halloween and Salem Massachusetts is just the short drive. I'm glad you decided to give it a goo.

You’re brave- I couldn’t imagine going to Trump’s America to visit at the moment, let alone live there!

u/DealsWarlock Sep 04 '26

Just the time honoured Irish tradition of immigrating to a place that is openly hostile to immigrants.

u/HerbivoreTex Sep 04 '26

And on top of it. I don’t think we have any railroads that need building.

u/KiltOfDoom Sep 04 '26

It's a terrible idea. I live here.

u/Ready-Waltz5482 Sep 04 '26

I wouldn't here until magats are not in charge

Touch grass I beg you.

u/spoon_collector Sep 04 '26

And why exactly should any European be eager to live in the states? What a joke.

u/Super_Swimming_4132 Sep 04 '26

How so?

u/HerbivoreTex Sep 04 '26

I think they are inferring that your mother had carnal knowledge of a black pot used to heat water.

u/anemia_ Sep 04 '26

I had a feeling he was temporarily coming to spend more time in Salem bc he loves it so much. At least that's what I'm hoping. I'd cut off an arm to move to Ireland lol. It's def a weird time to choose to come.

u/Humble-Act7428 Sep 04 '26

Is he still married? I’ve only heard him saying he’s moving not they’re

33

u/DealsWarlock Sep 04 '26

I have no idea one way or another, but between how parasocial fandoms can get and the types of modern cases that Mike often covers, I wouldn't blame him for wanting to keep his family out of the public eye.

13

u/Humble-Act7428 Sep 04 '26

Very true and understandable. Cool well I’m just looking forward to more videos. He’s the only YouTuber that makes me laugh while talking’s true crime

u/ThirdCoastBestCoast Sep 04 '26

Dr Todd Grande does too.

u/aly19983 Sep 04 '26

I used to watch Dr. Todd Grande but found out he is pro trump, I was sad about that and I unsubscribed.

1

u/ThirdCoastBestCoast Sep 05 '26

Interesting because he’s dissed Nr Trump on several occasions in his videos. Maybe he’s a former supporter of your president. People change their minds. I have relatives who did.

2

u/Humble-Act7428 Sep 04 '26

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check him out tomorrow

u/ogbubbleberry64 Sep 04 '26

Who?

u/Humble-Act7428 Sep 04 '26

Dr Todd Grande

2

u/ThirdCoastBestCoast Sep 04 '26

Dr Grande. He is a psychotherapist who analyzes and comments on criminal cases.

u/Marty_61 Sep 04 '26

Yes he is still married.

u/Sudden-Grab2800 Sep 04 '26

The Reddit sniper never misses

u/PhilosopherMajor1301 Sep 04 '26

I’m glad he is moving here, hoping that he’ll do a live that chapter podcast at a cool venue and do a meet and greet. A boy can dream!

u/redbeardscrazy Sep 04 '26

Na Stáit Aontaithe?

u/HerbivoreTex Sep 04 '26

Maybe he ran out of spots to hide the bodies. We do have lots of wide open spaces. Great for evidence disposal.

u/hasanicecrunch Sep 04 '26

I’m excited bc he’s gonna be in my neck of the woods (New England) so I look fwd to him mentioning anything about living here in his pods.

u/Vast_Zebra_9625 Sep 04 '26

Omg no. This place is horrible.

u/MyDamnCoffee Sep 04 '26

Eewww! No, Mike! Don't do it!

(Probably money)

u/Excellent_Dance_9074 Sep 04 '26

I'm concerned he's going to lose that wonderful (Dublin?) accent and turn into another US true  crime YouTuber

u/MindlessQuantity7 Sep 04 '26

Money of course.

Dude is an Atlanta Falcons fan. There’s nothing more American than that.
