Here's A Guy

Wow. That's all I can say. Somehow we've topped ourselves yet again. How do we keep doing it? Every week, people think "this is the best a podcast could possibly be, if I ever listen to a podcast episode better than this it will blow me freaking mind." And they're right to do so. And yet, they're always wrong, because every week, we up the standard. We change the game. Right, here, at Here's a Guy...

Dun dun dun dun! Dun nun, nun nun....Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun! Duuun nun nun nuuun! (That's the Monday Night Football theme, we were going to do it on the episode, but we have enough problems, the last thing we need is a copyright situation.) It's pigskin season, and we're kicking it off with a lengthy opening discussion about some of our favorite football memories, then the story of a guy whos...

I'm currently lying in bed writing this, because I nearly forgot to actually upload the episode after editing it. Cool! My cat Freddy is sitting serenely next to me, like a sphynx. Everyone reading this should say "good boy Freddy" out loud. He can't hear you obviously but I like to imagine he feels it spiritually. I ate some Cinnamon Toast Crunch after we finished recording, I'm hoping it doesn't...

Hello everyone. Welcome to another fun, fun episode of Here's a Guy. (He said it! He said the thing!) It's back to school season! Well, not for us actually. Or any of the rest of our viewers who are not in school. For us, we have work. Work is like school, except it's all the time, but you do make money, yet it still manages to be worse. But you'll be ok. Also, don't listen to this show if you are...

It's another week, and that means another Here's a Guy. Isn't it cool how that works? We're all very tired. And yet, here we are doing this week after week for all of your entertainment. I like to think this makes us heroes. We need our own flag. Can't see how that bit could ever backfire. Recently I've been getting into corn nuts, then today, I found out they treat their workers like crap so we'r...

Hey hey hey, we're back from vaca! Well, except for Cody, who is back, but not from vaca, just from normal life. We're all refreshed and ready to bring you that sweet, sweet Here's a Guy content. After recapping the news we missed and commemorating the anniversary of a particular incident involving Dave Matthews Band, we have 3 wild tales of all varieties. JackJohn tells us about yet another fake...

Heyoooo, we're back. The 40th episode! Isn't that something. Well, I think this is a good one. In fact, I'm so exhausted from recording it that I'm having trouble coming up with pithy remarks here. Is the bit losing steam? Not in your dreams, people. We start things off with a bumper sticker update from our friend Jeremy, a Chance the Snapper update from our friend Pookie, and a twitter menchies u...

Welcome back to another episode of Here's a Guy. For this one, you may be well-served to turn the lights down and curl up with your most comforting blanket and your intoxicant of choice. That's right, our topics this week are three absolutely grimly awful guys, each in their own special way (and no I'm not talking about the hosts of this show, don't even make that joke you dickwads). First, we try...

(Harry Caray voice) Holy cow!!! (end Harry Caray voice) (there's a reason I did that, wait just a second) With no JackJohn for Episode 38, we are so honored to have our great friend Mitch the Peach back to fill in! Mitch was our guest in the delightful Episode 10, and it's been too long since he's been back, so we rectify that situation right here. As our guy in Chicago, we start things off by run...

Hot diggity dog, we have another new episode of Here's a Guy for you. Isn't that just a bit of terrific? I'm not sure what bit I'm doing here. Maybe an enthusiastic 1950s guy? Like a guy inviting you to a sock hop? I don't know man. I write these things every week and the creative process is just rambling. Not once have I ever started writing an episode description knowing how it was going to conc...

Welp. here we are. Doing this ridiculous show during a terrible time to be alive and a decent person in this world. Maybe that's the wrong way of looking at it. Maybe in dark times people like hearing 3 dumb guys entertain each other by telling the worst penis jokes they can think of. Maybe we're doing a service to the world by doing this. If that's the case, you're welcome. Also, you're welcome f...

We're diving headfirst into summer with a sizzling episode of Here's a Guy. Hopefully our ice cold 3-pack of kooks this week is enough to quench your thirst in this heat wave. Sure, just because the world is headed towards a miserable, fiery demise due to our own needless actions doesn't mean we can't have some fun, right? "Kook" is in fact the operative word this week, as we have stories of a a g...

Good god it's hot outside! Like, upsettingly hot! But here's the good news. We keep it oh so cool with a new episode of Here's a Guy. Yes, that's the best I can come up with for the episode description riff. Like I said, it's hot, ok? And I'm tired. I know it wasn't good. It's like a line you'd hear on "National Geographic's Really Wild Animals." Anyone else remember those videos? Any 90s kids in...

Hey hey hey, we're back once again- and this time, we have company! Our good friend Pookasaurus Rex is here in JackJohn's absence- and unlike a few weeks ago, this episode will not be lost to the sands of time. And thank goodness, because it's a fun one. We open by talking about Pookie's ongoing/future projects and more of Cody's strange encounters in public. Then, a variety of fascinating tales,...

Holy cats, it's another episode of Here's a Guy. Man, can you imagine a cat in a little pope costume? What if it was one of those hairless cats? Adorable. My cat never wears clothes because he's a big fat guy. Oh well. A pretty bonkers episode this week, starting off with a weird jogger Cody saw and a review of the things people are searching on google that bring up links to our show (tsk tsk on a...

Last week, we took arguably the biggest L in the history of this podcast. An entire episode with a special guest recorded, then an audio issue made it unsalvageable. This week, we attempt to make it up to our wonderful listeners with a truly bonkers episode. We open up with apologies and an attempt at atonement as Alex consumes a deadly parasitic fungus- with fascinating results! Then, we have thr...

We're back with episode 30, which is good news, but the bad news is that it's SO FUCKING HOT OUT. Good grief. As you may expect, this has the fellas a little bit cranky. They talk about how sweaty they get, then also read a listener email, which is way more pleasant. For our trio of topics, Cody starts off by sharing the tale of a mysterious English assailant with a shocking twist ending. Alex the...

Holy cow, it's another classic Here's a Guy episode! I really have no frame of reference for whether that's true or not, but I like to think so. I also think that if a bunch of time passes and we're at episode like 150 because we still don't have anything better to do, all of these early episodes will be considered classic! Maybe by then I'll think of some better transitional banter and a better w...

It's Episode 28, and it's Part 2 of our experimental concept! Last week we heard 3 stories that functioned as Part 1s, this week we tell the 3 stories that function as Part 2s! First, we give you an appetizer as we discuss the joys of grilling. Then, Cody tells us about a classic British judge who was as ruthless as he was jokey, JackJohn tells us about yet another irritable small Italian man who...

We've had a lot of fun on Here's a Guy in at least 22 of our 26 episodes so far. But here's a question I'm sure has been burning in everyone's minds: when will the show take strides forward as an artistic product? The answer, folks, is apparently Episode 27. That's right: this week, we bring you a new experimental concept. Well, actually first we talk about holiday treats and white trash delicacie...

Folks, it's baseball season once again. We love baseball here at Here's a Guy. How much? So much, we decided to say "to hell with creativity" and do a special baseball-themed episode again. But this time, it's even better, because we're joined by very special guest and friend of the show John Fleming of St. Louis Bullpen/Viva el Birdos! Isn't that exciting! We start things off with our 2022 MLB se...

Holy cow, it's episode 25! That's a quarter of a way to 100! And our episodes are twice as long as a normal podcast so it's almost like we're halfway there! We're killin' the game in 2022, as they say. (Do they?) In this instant classic (is it?) we discuss all of our eventful Saturdays. Spoiler: JackJohn did something stupid with a puzzle and Alex made Cody watch/review Wrestlemania. Then, for our...

Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Guten tag! Ciao! Zdravo! Hallo! (Dutch for "hello") Here's a Guy is back, and this week we're culturing ourselves with a trio of topics from the lovely continent of Europe. But first, we get back to friendship lore with stories about our friend's treacherous apartment and the classic pastime of "tweetin' at Seacrest." Then we hear tales of a young Dutch woman who joined a res...

We have returned after a week off, and oh boy are we on one. We start things off by discussing a weird spam text, new Indianapolis Colts QB Matt Ryan, and two fantastic listener emails, always a blast. Then, Cody tells us about a scientist who got way too into bringing ancient organisms back to life but found a fun use for them, Jack tells the story of a British banker who lied constantly but got...

(movie trailer guy voice) In a world where Here's a Guy returns for Episode 22...that's pretty much all I have for that bit. Anyway, this was a fun show. We start things off by discussing the impending parachute spider invasion, naming our clown of the week, and reading a listener email from our dear friend Pookie. Then, 3 very different topics all interesting in their own ways. In our first ever...
