Here's A Guy

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...

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...

This past week sports enthusiasts across the globe have been treated to one of the greatest tournaments in existence- the World Cup. Can you imagine a cup that big? You could drink hella beer out of that! The main reason that joke doesn't work is that you don't typically drink beer out of a "cup." Unless, of course, we're classifying "glasses" under the umbrella of...

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 la...

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 c...

As of this morning, it's officially May. That means a lot of things "may" happen. You "may" be pleasantly surprised to get your little update that there's a new Here's a Guy. You "may" immediately rush over to the Spotify app and listen. You "may" be delighted at the fun stories and clever riffs. You "may" also be thinking that it seems...

Alright, I'm going to need to speed through this episode description. There's a storm roaring its way towards me outside and I'm starting to hear sirens. I'm not sure what's about to happen because I'm so laser-focused on churning out this description, and if I don't get it done in time, the hosts will punish me with "The Device" again. Hey, what did I just se...

March Madness has now come to a close. We now enter what’s called April Insanity. That’s followed by May Mania, then, much less fun, June Dementia, and its aftermath, July Derangement. And don’t get me started on August Psychosis, let alone September Frenzy. October Hysteria is always a little harrowing. So is November Lunacy. December Delirium might be the worst of all. Sometimes January Hypomani...

Guest Madness rolls on with another one of our absolute favorites, John Fleming. And if you've paid any attention to the show in the seeming eternity that it's existed, you know that when John comes on the show, we'll be talking one thing and one thing only: baseball. Baseball comes in all types of forms. Major league baseball. Minor league baseball. College baseball. Little league bas...

Hello all, and welcome to hell. And by “hell,” I actually mean Guest Madness on Here’s a Guy. That lead-in is a bit misleading, considering hell, at least in the typical religious sense, is a bad thing. In fact, it’s somewhat the embodiment of bad things. Guest Madness, though? That’s good, very good. That does sort of render the comparison meaningless, but nobody’s perfect. Are you perfect? I did...

We're officially in that real gross. slimy part of the year. Well, actually, I take that back. August is the slimy part of the year. This time of year is gross for other reasons. In particular, it's because tons of people get sick. Lots of sick people right now. And folks? I don't think that's very "sick." See, I used both the literal and colloquial meanings of a term, be...

zzzzzzz honk shoo zzzzzzz zzzzzzz honk shoo zzzzzzz zzzzzzz honk shoo zzzzzzz zzzzzzz honk shoo zzzzzzz hm? What are you doing here? I'm trying to sleep. Waking people up is rude. That is, unless there's a fire, or a tornado, or a burglar. Well, unless you're the burglar yourself. That's categorically rude, heads up notwithstanding. Wait a second, maybe you're not waking me up...

I'm really tired from a grueling evening in the podcasting mines. Instead of writing a pithy episode description, I'll outsource it out to someone else. Thankfully, my wife agreed to help. Her recommendation for an episode description goes as follows: "Slay queen! Diva the house boots." So there you go. Do I know what that means? Absolutely not. Do I know if it's even ok for...

I don't have a lot to say this week. In lieu of a rambling episode description, I'd like to debut the new lovable mascot for Here's a Guy. He's cute, he's cuddly, and there's nothing off-putting about him whatsoever. He'll be an instant mega hit with children, and parents will be buying heaps of the merchandise before you know it. Ok, here he is: ⊂_ヽ 　 ＼＼ Λ＿Λ 　　...

Newspaper comics are going to be a focal point of this here episode. Not to sound like an old man making complaints on behalf of past old men, but the funnies are an experience that's been a bit lost to the sands of time. At one point, the entire nation woke up and not only read a newspaper, but chuckled along at the comics page. Can you imagine? For one, can you imagine everyone reading newsp...

The calendar has at long last rolled over. We go from 2025 to...let me just check here...2026. During this time of year, everyone likes to take the opportunity to reflect back on the previous year to assess what we learned. For some, the answer is absolutely nothing, why even kid yourself. On the other hand, those people typically aren't introspective enough to do that type of reflection. Hell...

Jingle Bells JackJohn Smells Cody Laid an Egg Steve Lightfoot's van Broke down again And Giuseppe got away Thank god we only did two December episodes. I don't think I have any more Christmas song parodies left in me. In any event, we're coming up on the best couple weeks of the year- Christmas and week, and post-Christmas week. Christmas week there's all sorts of merriment and joy...

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling Ring ting tingling too Come on it’s lovely weather For Here’s a Guy together with you Outside the snow is falling And friends are calling “yoo hoo” Come on it’s lovely weather For Here’s a Guy together with you (DISCLAIMER: Here’s a Guy does not recommend listening to our show for a romantic date) (DISCLAIMER 2: If you experience tingling while listening to He...

The overarching theme of this episode is being a nuisance. Bothering others for your own amusement. Taking pride in annoying people. These are things that we at Here's a Guy know nothing about. Perhaps another way of summing it up would be "mischief." And that's different than "Miss Chief," who I guess right now would be Taylor Swift. That's the only Taylor Swift re...

You know what, I don’t have time to write the episode description tonight. Thankfully, this is 2025. There’s an easy solution to needing a short text when you’re too lazy to actually put any effort in. For times like these, we outsource to AI. So, I reached out to an AI and asked it to write this for me. Here goes, hopefully it turns out ok: Hey everybody it’s me, I’m an AI. It stands for artifici...

Dusk! Three men gather into dark rooms to convene through a faintly glowing screen. The purpose of this nighttime communion is to revel in all things bizarre and macabre. As soon as they've completed this dastardly deed, they will unleash these foul tales upon the world, to all innocent uninitiated ears that will hear! Forsooth, such a depraved ritual has rarely ever been conceived before- to...

Mayhem Month rolls on, and if there was a theme for how mayhem manifests in this particular episode, it’s gotta be fire. And we’re not just referencing zoomer lingo indicating this episode is high quality. Which it is. (Anton Chigurh nodding gif.) Also, we already tried the zoomer lingo bit for an episode description a few weeks ago. And how was the feedback? Well, we didn’t get any. We never do f...

This past weekend I did one of my favorite chores of the year- putting out the Halloween decorations. And when I say chore, I mean that. It is a shitload of work- but not quite enough so burdensome that I can guilt my family into coming over and helping me, like I do with the Christmas decorations. But that makes me think- Halloween decorations are all pretty standard at this point. Skeletons, gho...

At long last, Mayhem Month is once again upon us. It's October, the King of Months. A time for beautiful weather, golden scenery, various apple and pumpkin-based products, and a celebration of all things creepy. During this special time, a number of strange creatures come out to play. We've all heard of these unusual beings, but as far as I can tell, nobody has ever performed the criticall...

Greetings. I’m writing this from 50 years in the future. I just wanted to let those of you in September 2025 know: 50 years from now, everything is the exact same. Like, almost to a T. Technology doesn’t really advance. Pop culture hasn’t evolved. But, society hasn’t collapsed or anything. Most people can still do whatever. It all looks the same as it does right now. So, you know, do with that wha...
