  Episode 187: The Little Engine That Could But Chose Not To

  Jul 31, 20261h 39m

  Welcome back for another episode of Here’s a Guy. We regret to inform you that this week is one of those nasty episodes. Even worse, it’s a good episode, so it’s not even one you can skip and feel ok about it, you kinda have to listen if you’re a true HaG-head. I feel obligated to let you know in advance and to prepare you as best as possible. Towards that end, I am not going to list off what I think are some of the most inherently nasty words. Here’s one: “gunk.” It so perfectly paints a picture of what it is. Another one is “smear.” There can be smears of something nice, but when you hear the word that isn’t what you think. I think of the time I thought my cat kicked some litter out of his box onto the floor and I went to sweep it up only to discover there was a soft turd in there. Some solid smearing action there. A word popularly thought of as nasty is “moist.” That one doesn’t bother me too much, because it makes me think of a piece of rich chocolate cake, or perhaps a well-made brownie. On the other hand, “discharge” makes me want to gag. Actually, now that I mention it, “gag” is pretty nasty in and of itself. One last one: “spew.” Ok, I think that sets the stage well enough. You are ready. We start off with a jumbo opening segment with a lot to talk about, including updates on three (!!!) former Guys, a preview of our upcoming Patreon project, and a special edition of “Am I Stupid?” We follow that up with a double pack of Guys, featuring a New Zealand woman’s inappropriate act of protest and the gruesome demise of a legendary train conductor.

  Episode 185: The Degree of Fear

  Jul 10, 20261h 56m

  The World Cup is on, and it's a time for the international community to come together. At Here's a Guy, we strive to contribute to this spirit of unity. With that in mind we will be using this space to establish dialogue with our brothers and sisters across the world. In light of their win yesterday, we will begin with the French. Below, please find a message of unity in your native tongue: C'est quoi ce bordel que tu viens de dire sur moi, espèce de petite merde ? Sache que je suis sorti major de ma promo chez les Navy SEALs, que j'ai participé à de nombreux raids secrets contre Al-Qaïda et que je compte plus de 300 éliminations confirmées. Je suis entraîné à la guérilla et je suis le meilleur sniper de toutes les forces armées américaines. Tu n'es rien d'autre pour moi qu'une cible de plus. Je vais t'anéantir avec une précision jamais vue sur cette Terre, retiens bien ce que je te dis. Tu crois que tu peux t'en tirer après m'avoir sorti des conneries pareilles sur Internet ? Détrompe-toi, connard. En ce moment même, je contacte mon réseau secret d'espions à travers les États-Unis et ton adresse IP est en train d'être tracée ; alors prépare-toi à la tempête, vermine. La tempête qui va balayer cette petite vie pathétique que tu mènes. T'es un homme mort, gamin. Je peux être n'importe où, n'importe quand, et je peux te tuer de plus de sept cents manières différentes, rien qu'à mains nues. Non seulement je suis expert en combat au corps à corps, mais j'ai aussi accès à tout l'arsenal du Corps des Marines des États-Unis et je l'utiliserai sans retenue pour effacer ton cul minable de la surface du continent, espèce de petite merde. Si seulement tu avais su quelle terrible vengeance ton petit commentaire malin allait déclencher contre toi, tu aurais peut-être tenu ta putain de langue. Mais tu ne l'as pas fait, et maintenant tu en payes le prix, espèce d'abruti fini. Je vais te chier de la fureur dessus et tu vas te noyer dedans. T'es un homme mort, gamin. Sincerely, Here's a Guy. This week the full cast of hosts is back. We start by discussing summertime woes, poorly attended concerts, Fruit Stripe gum, and tank convoys. Then for our 3-pack of Guys, we have a contestant in a sadistic game show, a news anchor involved in several stupid controversies, and a legendary stunt from an unknown hacker.

  Episode 184: Whose Mine Is It Anyway?

  Jun 26, 20261h 16m

  Sometimes you don't get it all right the first time. Sometimes you can only really know what the right thing to do or say is until a little bit of time has passed and you have a little more time to process everything. As great as a perfect gut reaction is, realistically, your brain is only working on limited information and hindered ability to contemplate. Just for example, sometimes you whiff a comeback to an insult and think of a better response later on. Sometimes you're playing a game and make the wrong maneuver that wouldn't have been your decision if you'd had more time to think it over. Or, who knows, just hypothetically, sometimes a podcast will have an episode naming convention of finding a remark said during the episode that sounds funny out of context, and when trying to decide the next episode name during post-production, thinks of a riff that would have been perfect at a particular part of the episode but nobody actually thought to say. And sometimes, when that happens, the person writing this will just say to hell with it and pick that hypothetical riff for the episode title anyway and absolutely dares anyone say anything to him about it. I'll take you down, you understand me? Just mind your business and enjoy the free podcast, geez. Alright, two man show this week with JackJohn off doing something else. We start with a very pleasant tier list featuring the best times of day during particular seasons. For our two pack of guys, we have a highly entertaining secret military unit and a hefty goalkeeper whose career ended with an unusual scandal. Ghost Army of WWII- 34:53 Wayne Shaw- 49:44

  Episode 182: Clams Notwithstanding

  May 27, 20261h 45m

  At Here's a Guy, we strive to make our content as accessible as possible. Thus far, we've received no complaints to the contrary, which means that we've either succeeded in this mission, our have failed so miserably that nobody is even capable of noticing. Who's to say, really. Either way, we feel like we can't be complacent. We want to make sure we're accessible even to languages that haven't been created yet. With that in mind, we offer the following message in a thus-far undiscovered tongue: Florp magorp. Unga nua twizz. Goop bujeer, enoo enoo guffa gurbalis. Noof nynam, katta watta leegoo, noof nynam. Furk. This week we have a rare daytime recording, and the energy is off the charts (don't ask which charts). We discuss a NASA employee who did something really stupid to impress a chick, another nefarious graverobber, and a dedicated educationalist with an unfortunate legacy.

  Episode 181: Bigfoot Is My Father

  May 15, 20261h 57m

  I’m not sure how good the quality of this episode description is going to be. I fucked up and now my tummy hurts. It doesn’t help that I had too many sweets today. There was a training thing at work that had donuts AND candy. I can’t just let that go. Or maybe it was the box lunch. It was a grilled chicken club sandwich, which seems pretty safe in theory, but catering pre-packaged sandwich meals can be diarrhea city in certain situations. Who knows what the underpinning was, but the final straw was that I just ate too much popcorn. Yes, with the olive oil drizzle, as discussed back in some other episode description. I also ate it too quickly- one of those things where it gave me hiccups afterward. I pigged out so bad it fucked up my diaphragm somehow. One of those things that seems indecent even entirely within the privacy of your own home. I should eat every evening treat like an ortolan bunting, where I have to cover my head with a cloth to hide my shame from God. Well, God isn’t real. But my wife might see. And that’s even worse. The guys return this week with plenty to say. They start with a discussion of the zoo, their favorite bands, and whether it’s good for your podcast to be kinda bad, plus they read some listener emails. For our patented Guys segment, we have a man at the center of an impressive bar fight, a prankster behind a famous mythological being, and a hostage situation with a hilarious conclusion.
