Him and Puddles are so different, and a lot of his fans are super anal about referring to them as different people too. "I met Puddles!" -"Oh, so you met Mike?" "No. I met Puddles." -"You realize they're the same dude, right?" "No they're not. Mike's his manager." 😑😑 "Puddles's wife is named Shannon." -"No. Puddles isn't married. Shannon is Mike's wife." 😐😐😐
Forest Wilson All I'm saying is both men are freakishly tall, both are bald, both have god-like singing voices, and I don't believe anyone has ever seen them in the same room together...
I met Mike last Friday before the Puddles Show in DC. Still blown away at his kindness, humility, generosity to everyone he was in contact with. All the best Mike. Thanks for your time and the comp tickets. Great show.
I’m impressed with this interview. Finally I know where and who Puddles is. Super fun way to introduce the man behind the mask. Can’t way to see what Puddles does in the future. Just hope he keeps doing it. Truly a talent that needs to be recognized. And if he sees this message, even better. 💜
I saw puddles last Friday in DC. He hung around after the show to make sure that everyone got a picture. He was a really nice guy. Didn't say much but he didn't have to.
There's a lot of talent right there . He's got persona . He's created a great lovable character , and he has a voice that just rocks ! Rock on puddles and mike !!!
To Big Mike Geier: Please speak to Puddles about recording Hank's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." I can't think of a more appropriate song to cover. It's a natural Please let him know my request. Thanks!
Puddles and Big Mike have matching tattoos. In one of the clips, when the cuff on Puddles' costume moves, you can see the tattoo on his left wrist. I wonder if Big Mike got the tattoo as a tribute to Puddles, if Puddles got the tattoo as a tribute to Big Mike, or if they got them at the same time.
Okay, I just read some other comments about Big Mike being Puddles. Are you f'ing nuts? Puddles is white...well so is Big Mike, but Puddles is reeeaaaalllly white. Second, Puddles is like 7 ft tall from big toe to Golden Crown. Watch the tape again and you can see that so-called "Big" Mike is only slightly taller than an upright piano. Lastly, Mike wears glasses. Puddles has 20/20 vision and can see an audience in the dim light of a bar. Now, I'm sure Mike's a fine guy. I mean, Puddles likes him so he can't be all bad. Still, to say he's Puddles is like saying Bruce Wayne is Batman or that Clark Kent is Superman. You people need to get a grip!
Jim Davis I'll start with glasses. I've worn glasses me entire life, as have most of my family. I'd bet you a hundred bucks those glasses Mike is wearing are uncorrected polycarbonate, meaning they're just clear prop glasses. I know a guy who wears prop glasses as fashion. When someone turns their face away from you at 20 or 30 degrees, looking through their glasses at the edges, you can tell if they're corrective lenses. These do not look like it. Mike is clearly a big guy as you can tell from his shoulders and upper chest. You could easily make him look taller or shorter by adjusting the height of his stool. Come on.. Puddle is white. Really white. Like, he puts on powder and makeup white. I've seen almost every single video on the Internet of puddles. He even has one where he's getting ready in the dressing room putting on powder, drawing on the eyebrows and sad face. Mike and puddles have literally identical right ears. You know, the one on the left side of your screen in this interview. How they connect to the face at the lower lobe (which I believe is also pierced) along with the top of the ear. Also you'll notice a very distinct point at the top inside of Mike and puddles ears. Eyebrows look identical between the two. In closing, Google Mike geier and read every page published about him. Lmao
Okay E, you may be right, but are you an optometrist? Saying they're prop shows you haven't kept up with the latest is polycarb technology. "Clear is dear," as in expensive, is the new phrase in the industry. In fact, glasses that don't alter anything other than your sense of self importance are all the rage. And are you an Earologist? Have a long history of testifying on court ears...I mean, ears in court? Nope? Well, I clearly waxed you on that one! And lastly, when I was a boy my grandfather would hold a small fish close to the camera to make it look bigger than me. Now, he's dead, but if he were alive and I was closer to the camera and Mike was like 30-40 feet away, I would look bigger. I think you can see I have logic that can not be argued!
Jim Davis I do not know what is more amazing. This GREAT comment or the replies and the people who did not read the end of the comment in which you can tell is an OBVIOUS joke.
Thanks, Poods. I truly don't know what to do. Should every third word be "satire" and every 5th word be "joke"? It's crazy, but thanks for your great comment. I appreciate someone who gets it!
A month now and still totally fascinated with Puddles. Just love him and can't go a day without listening to him sign. Love watching him but really need a CD....
Ive never had a clown make me cry...I truly feel a major connection to his art. For myself beng a singer that never had the courage to even try I see myself in his art when hes on stage.
Puddles, you are a musical genius. But most of all, at one of the lowest points in my life. I first saw you on AGT. TO THIS DAY I WATCH THAT VIDEO. IT BRINGS ME SUCH JOY. (I HAVE TO Watch it every day) I'd love to see you in concert one day. Thank you for the happy tears that brings me HEALING. Amazing voice. God bless BIG MIKE PUDDLES.
It's so nice to see an entertainer with an imagination like Big Mike has. He has an 'old school' style about him. So refreshing in time when music has become dull and uninteresting. Big Mike gets the job done right and his talents are appreciated by scores across the World.
I like the way they approached this... I have been following this guy's work for years. I'm so glad you finally made it I thought he was made when I saw him the first time...
I became a big fan after seeing Puddles on AGT and he was awesome. I would love to see him live in vegas someday. Until then I’ll stay tuned in on TH-cam.
Man. My paw paw just passed away. Right before Christmas. And we have a shrimp boat we take the nets off and go fishing on around the islands. That was his favorite place to be. Thank you for pulling up that memory
I just came out of my cave a few days ago...so all over the internet I know not. I found out about Puddles...and I am stuck. Brilliance...simple,perfect brilliance. Its nice to be out of my cave and find this. Thank you...cause its the little things ya know. Ya know ?
Big Mike. Give Puddles a hug for us! Take care of him and keep him out of trouble. So many famous people derail themselves heading to the bars drinking suicides!
Puddles has such a wonderful singing voice. As a fan of Puddles I would really like to see him make the big times with original songs written by him or for him. I hope the best for Puddles and his friend big Mike.
"If you only ever listen to everyone else talk, you'll never be able to hear yourself think." - Me,... hence why i have mad respect for this fellow artist
No one ever knew the true identity of Superman either...... it's amazing what eyeglasses can hide. Puddles is a superhero and this guy should be honored to know him. 😉😉😉👍🤫🤫🤫
kyromatee ...I really want him to do his Roy Orbison Crying cover on the show, it's maybe my favourite?..But now you've confused me and I kind of want him to do Space Oddity. Oh god, I can't handle the pressure. He's just SO good. I'm so glad he's getting some well deserved mainstream exposure
kyromatee his cover of Space Oddity brought me to tears. It always makes my tear up to hear David Bowie sing it and Puddles nailed the emotions perfectly
Puddles, I don’t know what words I could possibly use to describe your angelic voice that hasn’t already been said by the rest of your fans, so I’ll just say this, you’re a Godsend!! Mike G. must be a special friend of yours, he sure is LUCKY!
Man, it's so cool. He knows puddles! What a lucky guy, bet they're really good friend, even on their own personal time. Odd that they're both bald though.
Isabella it is called honoring the conceit. In this case conceit means an idea or a fancy created in the mind. Puddles says, in his own way, that he is not Mike. And Mike says he is not Puddles. So who are we to disagree? And it's more fun to go with the flow.
If I turned around and saw a 6'8" clown staring back, there'd be two puddles.
😂😂😂😂
Well played 😂🤣😂🤣💀💀💀
47Str8 lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
FREAKINT HELL
All I'm saying is you never see Big Mike and Puddles at the same place at the same time
Yeah lol that's definitely puddles it's weird how people can go into character
Yeah he's BATMAN
Him and Puddles are so different, and a lot of his fans are super anal about referring to them as different people too.
"I met Puddles!"
-"Oh, so you met Mike?"
"No. I met Puddles."
-"You realize they're the same dude, right?"
"No they're not. Mike's his manager."
😑😑
"Puddles's wife is named Shannon."
-"No. Puddles isn't married. Shannon is Mike's wife."
😐😐😐
Ice Queen Emeriti what are you talking about? Are you saying they are the same person?
Forest Wilson
All I'm saying is both men are freakishly tall, both are bald, both have god-like singing voices, and I don't believe anyone has ever seen them in the same room together...
What a clever way to have non-talking Puddles talk about himself! So Big Mike is what? " His road manager? LOL
Mike is Puddles homie!
Michael Finnegan pretty sure he or she understood that, they were just saying its a pretty clever and theatrical way of doing things
The Residents have been doing the same for forty years. But fans of The Residents get a little miffed if they hear things like that.
Michael Finnegan did you miss the Lol at the end of the post?
Very Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton.
Can we take a moment to also appreciate the interviewer? This was done brilliantly, as soon as I realized what was going on I lost it.
Isn't that Tommy monahagn from SNL????
Mike's ability to transmit emotions via a character that he commits to with a method actor's level of dedication is truly amazing.
But Mike is just his manager 🙂
His voice is so beautiful and soothing, both when he speaks and sings.
He's got a very good baritone voice.
Resonate
Love it! It's like an interview with Peter Parker about his friend Spiderman.
But Puddles is a REAL superhero.
Idea of the Day...HE HE...THAT'S PERFECT! 😀
“Buuuuuuut, Peter Parker is spider-man,” says every jackass in the comments.
Haha well said!

What do you mean, who is Puddles?
Uhhhh...that's not Puddles. Did you even watch the video? Mike is a close personal friend to him, though.
"Too much people talking all the time. So he doesn't talk and slows everything down". Pure art.
put it this way I'm so unbelievably stoned that I just now realized at 3mins in that this guy is puddles...
There's a reason they call it DOPE....
Drugs are the devil...
Pepe Perez God said it was good .
Pepe Perez weed is not the devil lol
It´s a Spanish espression. When some one do something weird, irrational... that make the people around stop with a face palm
Mike, Puddles is a revelation. It's an awesome thing to see him perform. Kudos to you both.
srsly?
Mike, you are definitely a real Treasure! Thanks for sharing. Thanks for caring. Thanks for bringing Puddles along for the ride.
I saw puddles last Friday in DC. He hung around after the show to make sure that everyone got a picture. He was a really nice guy. Didn't say much but he didn't have to.
I wish I could meet Puddles. Musical genius! Original, and clever. I can't get enough of his voice. Flawless
Thanks mate..Like your style for a few years..Thanks Mike and cheers from Sydney Australia.
44 seconds in he goes to caress his invisible pom pom.... you can take Puddles out of the costume but you can't take the costume out of Puddles
caress his invisible pom pom. omg lol that killed me.
You have a great eye there, kiddo
brilliant, totaly brilliant
Lindsay M...HAHA, OH WOW! 😉😂
OMG i had to go back and look.. HE SO DID!! That's freaking awesome
There's a lot of talent right there . He's got persona . He's created a great lovable character , and he has a voice that just rocks ! Rock on puddles and mike !!!
Mike is an amazing singer. He should be much more famous and known than he is.
Absolutely legendary voice. Keep Puddles singing man ;-)
This man has a classic tenor opera voice
@@archangelvvv ye, it's beautiful. lots and lots of practice for sure
First I heard of him was on America Got Talent.He has a number of videos of his singing.He's really great.I hope he will be around for a long time.🎭🎶🃏
I recommend watching the videos he is in with Post Modern Jukebox
Tim Danby personal favorite is his All The Small Things cover with Postmodern Jukebox
Amir Palamar Just listened,great song!
I like Lourde,, she's great,, but Puddles does the best version of "Royals", it's the definitive version for me.
Paul Gamble Just heard it,yes,it is done it well.
To Big Mike Geier: Please speak to Puddles about recording Hank's "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry." I can't think of a more appropriate song to cover. It's a natural Please let him know my request. Thanks!
I fell in love with Puddles, now that I've seen him without the makeup I'm even more in love!
Especially the fact he has a beard makes it awkward
Puddles and Big Mike have matching tattoos. In one of the clips, when the cuff on Puddles' costume moves, you can see the tattoo on his left wrist. I wonder if Big Mike got the tattoo as a tribute to Puddles, if Puddles got the tattoo as a tribute to Big Mike, or if they got them at the same time.
Search Mike Geier on Google
Steve Arik There the same guy
definitely same time
comments to OPs comment are retarded
That's the only explanation. They got it at the same time. Shows how close they are as good friends.
The expression in his eyes say it all.
I am so in love with both Big Mike and Puddles! Come to MD, PLEASE!
Puddles is into Die Antwoord. My worlds have collided.
RIGHT?!!!?!?!?!
IKR I'M DYING
He's so freaky and i like him alot
I know, awesome right!
First thing I noticed. and my head exploded as well.

Mike has something so unique PLUS he can back it up with an amazing voice.
This guy is so lucky to know and get to hang around with a talented singer. Peace to all.
If you really think about it Puddles is the one speaking for Mike.
Haha 👍
Woa tha's deep
This guy has so much emotion in his voice, I always feel sad when I listen to him. Truly outstanding

Oh and paw-paw had a shrimp boat where he performed vaudeville acts for the shrimpers and they paid him in shrimp. lmfao
Laughed so hard at that hahahaha
Damion Brundle Love itt 😂😂😂😂

Well said.
Puddles must be proud to have a nice friend like Mike.

You hit it Puddles the strongest messages need not words.
He is a handsome man!
He's really great!
I love this talent!
Thank you for doing what you do!
I believe the two of them are inseparable.
Rick Chris i believe the two of them are the same
Javier Aguilar, that's clearly impossible.
Puddles is white while Mike is pinkish beige.
Javier Aguilar ah ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Javier Aguilar No shit Sherlock
Bear Arms...HAHA! THAT'S PRETTY FUNNY! 😂
A sad and beautiful world. These days, no truer words. Spot on. Amazing talent there.
I became a big fan after seeing Puddles on AGT and he was awesome. I would love to see him live in vegas someday. Until then I’ll stay tuned in on TH-cam.
I'm a big fan of his, the guy is fantastic. Big hug from Brazil to Big Mike!!
Bro, you got this. Keep up the amazing work.
You've touched parts long stored away. Thank you.
I noticed Puddles and Big Mike have the same tattoo on their left arm, wow they must be really close to do something like that #friendship
It's him. The same man talking
@@AngirsonLopez you didn't get the joke mate
Angirson Lopez no, clearly Mike is the manager and Puddles is the singer. They’re different people.
@Angirson Lopez R/whooooooooosh, 2 years in the making.
@@AngirsonLopezdo you still think about not getting the joke?
Man. My paw paw just passed away. Right before Christmas. And we have a shrimp boat we take the nets off and go fishing on around the islands. That was his favorite place to be. Thank you for pulling up that memory
I get a lot of enjoyment from his song versions. I'll bet his live shows would be fun as hell to experience.
Yep, they are incredibly entertaining, probably the best shows I've ever seen.
Nice surprice to c this interview of a fine man with a great soul. Congratulations.
That Zef shirt has brought me to a new level of fandom for PPP!
So finally I see the man behind the mask! What a great mezmerizing entertainer! I love what you do sir!
Puddles singin on a shrimp boat! Now that is sweet imagining.
Was there a guy on there named LT Dan?
Mike is a breath of fresh air of originality, talent and genius. GL in all you do.
I love this man. He takes me away and he has a beautiful voice. I hope he wins AGT.
💝
Love the Yolandi shirt! Haha. I like this guy more and more.
Love when actors talk about their characters as if they were real and close friends.
Big Mike.. thank you for sharing Puddles with us and please tell him thanks for slowing the world a little. Truly a gift to Humanity ❤️
It is a sad, beautiful world indeed.
Puddles is a winner, he brings happiness and love to everyone !!!!
I LOVE HIM, HE IS SO MAGNETIC, HE IS A WONDER.
I just came out of my cave a few days ago...so all over the internet I know not. I found out about Puddles...and I am stuck. Brilliance...simple,perfect brilliance. Its nice to be out of my cave and find this. Thank you...cause its the little things ya know. Ya know ?
He's a great singer! he lost weight & yes, you're listening to Big Mike talk about himself in this video clip! Love this guy!
He is attractive too?! 😮
Love Puddles. This was a great video to watch
Big Mike. Give Puddles a hug for us! Take care of him and keep him out of trouble. So many famous people derail themselves heading to the bars drinking suicides!
You are an amazingly priceless treasure my friend. Cheers.
Puddles has such a wonderful singing voice. As a fan of Puddles I would really like to see him make the big times with original songs written by him or for him.

His speaking voice is wonderful, too. 🥰
No one ever knew the true identity of Superman either...... it's amazing what eyeglasses can hide. Puddles is a superhero and this guy should be honored to know him. 😉😉😉👍🤫🤫🤫
I love that big Mike does this. He smartly brings versions of himself to people on his terms. I think its beautiful
he has to do Space Oddity for his next audition.. it's one of his best covers!
Do you know when the next audition is?
have not found it yet.
kyromatee ...I really want him to do his Roy Orbison Crying cover on the show, it's maybe my favourite?..But now you've confused me and I kind of want him to do Space Oddity. Oh god, I can't handle the pressure. He's just SO good. I'm so glad he's getting some well deserved mainstream exposure
Wonder if he's ever done Constant Craving, the old kd lang song. He could really belt on that one. The song matches his vibe, too.
kyromatee his cover of Space Oddity brought me to tears. It always makes my tear up to hear David Bowie sing it and Puddles nailed the emotions perfectly
Puddles, I don’t know what words I could possibly use to describe your angelic voice that hasn’t already been said by the rest of your fans, so I’ll just say this, you’re a Godsend!! Mike G. must be a special friend of yours, he sure is LUCKY!
Man, it's so cool. He knows puddles! What a lucky guy, bet they're really good friend, even on their own personal time. Odd that they're both bald though.
ecksdeeeXD THEY ATE THE SAME PERSON WHY DOES NOBODY SEEM TO FREKEN GET THAT??!!!??!! SHEESH PEOPLE!:/
Oops I mean are
I'm pretty sure they're just good friends. They met in Atlanta at a bar. Mike was a bartender and Puddles just ordered soda pops mixed up.
Isabella it is called honoring the conceit. In this case conceit means an idea or a fancy created in the mind. Puddles says, in his own way, that he is not Mike. And Mike says he is not Puddles. So who are we to disagree? And it's more fun to go with the flow.
Look at Mikes left wrist tattoo at 0:10 seconds in the video, then again at puddles left wrist at 2:53 .... :)
Mike, my friend... You sir, are a mastermind.
Mike is a fantastic person and vocalist.
love it! Puddles is fantastic! Thanks for sharing, Big Mike.
Diggin' the Yolandi t-shirt.
Jason Hipple I KNEW it was her lol.
Thank you, I forgot the name...sometimes I'm in the mood for really weird
Jason Hipple , that was the first thing I noticed also..lol
Jason Hipple totally
I fink your freaky and I like you a lot.
Thank you Mr. Big mike!!!
Big Mike is some crazy talent, right there!
I'm happily married to my grandkid's Paw-paw, but I gotta Gramma style crush on Big Mike and his friend Puddles.
Hi from the UK Puddles! We love you over here.
Thanks Mike for making the world a little brighter..
The man's a national treasure, in my opinion
You guys can't fool me! THAT IS CLARK KENT! The glasses give it away! Who knew Clark Kent and Puddles were buds? Certainly not me.
