Here's A Guy

Well, we're officially entering the worst time of the year. Late winter, you're sick of the cold. We aren't even getting any snow. It's all just cold and rain. It feels like I'm living in The Ring. Although I think "living in The Ring" just means living in the Pacific Northwest. A torturous existence. Among the most beautiful natural scenery on the continent and you only get to enjoy it for a litt...

Rise and shine, everyone. It's a lovely morning and the coffee is brewing, as they say. Also, literally, depending on your lifestyle. It is for me. I've wondered about cutting out caffeine. One one hand, I need it to make my brain start functioning in the morning. On the other hand, the tradeoff is that it makes me irritable during my morning commute, a time when my patience is already being sever...

Howdy ho, everyone! (that's what the talking doo doo in South Park says) This week is a little different. It's a two-man operation. In particular, it's the only combination of two hosts that we haven't done yet. I know you had all been losing sleep, pulling your hair out, hitting yourself in the head with a mallet while your tongue unrolled onto the door like a carpet, etc etc, wondering when you'...

Well, Christmas is over, and we're in perhaps the sleepiest week of the year. But fear not, as we here at Here's a Guy are still basking in the afterglow, and bring you a toasty new episode for your enjoyment. First of all, thank you to Cody for the PSA up top. This show cares about our youth and want to do our part to keep them from going down the wrong path. As for the sweet, succulent meat of t...

Hear those sleigh bells jing-alin', ring-ting-tingaling too, come on it's lovely weather for Here's a Guy together with you! That's the best I've got this morning. It barely holds together logically, and for that matter the premise is questionable, because the weather is actually about to get quite bad. Oh, and on that note, let me just say, we have a winter storm rolling in the next couple days,...

Lordy lordy, we are back from our brief vacation to bring you some fresh Here's a Guy content. And fresh it is indeed, because two of our guys probably smelled bad, and the other is a crime mystery where something "stinks to high heaven," as it were. If this description isn't as good as usual, it's because I'm writing it in the morning with only partial caffeination. My audio recording had the scr...

The holiday season is upon us, and we at Here's a Guy are getting into the spirit with an eventful episode. Sorry I couldn't come up with a better play on words than that, I'm pretty tired. Probably the tryptophan from all the turkey I ate last week, right? Not a very timely gag. Also, I'm not sure if that's even true. Everyone shares their little smartypants studies now about how the tryptophan t...

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. What a great holiday. All about getting together with loved ones and stuffing your face until it causes you physical discomfort. A perfect day, unless you hate your family or have self-respect. Thankfully, neither of those are the case for the hosts of this show, who are here our very first Thanksgiving episode. We first celebrate with an overstuffed opening segment,...

Here we are, Episode 54. 54. 54. Surely there's some riff material I can get out of the number 54. See, the problem is, usually I write these things late at night as you can probably tell, but this time I'm writing it at like 8:30 in the morning. I'm far too clear-headed. Alright, I googled the significance of the number 54 and here's what I got: "54 is a unique number, as it carries the vibration...

Folks, I'd like you to conjure up some epic, triumphant music in your minds. Something with a lot of trumpets, perhaps. Like what you imagine playing to introduce ancient Olympic games. Although, were trumpets invented yet back in ancient times? No, right? Why is that what we associate with it? Maybe there's an article about it or something, I'll have to look it up before I go to bed. Life was so...

Mwahaha! (thunder rumbling) (bat sound effect) Welcome to a haunted, Halloween edition of Here's a Guy! (FYI I was going to actually add more of these sound effects to the episode itself, but finding them was harder than I expected and it's also not super easy to just drop a bunch of them into the episode in random spots with my unsophisticated editing software; you'll just have to imagine them, o...

Many say October is the King of Months. By many, I mean me and several of my friends. But we're right about this. Leaves changing colors, apple cider, pumpkin patches, all that stuff. Far less cute and almost as fun, we have the Here's a Guy podcast. Take a break from all your fall merriment to join us! (I didn't sleep well last night.) We start with a roundup of the crazy things happening here in...

Well, would you look at that. The hottest fledgling podcast of the last year (in our opinion) has reached the incredible milestone of 50 episodes. 50! That's 5 sets of 10 episodes! Half of 100! I didn't look real deep into this but I think that's unprecedented. Since this is such a big deal, we decided to do something special for all of you- our very first attempt at a live episode. It went pretty...

Boo! (The scary "boo" like a ghost would say, not boo like what an audience does to demonstrate their disapproval. Although I suppose I shouldn't be presumptuous.) It's the start of October, the King of Months, which is great for a whole host of reasons, chief among them that it's spooky season. For us, this means it's time for some festive tales of guys. Well, for some of us but not all 3. We hav...

Agh, we're so old now. So old that our episodes come out a day late. Because we're old and have a hard time getting around, you see. It also damages the quality of stream-of-consciousness rants, apparently. I have a big dessert thing I plan on bringing to work tomorrow to share, and I'm trying to figure out how to transport it there. For some reason my brain wants to devote more attention to that...

Ever see someone acting foolish in public and get real bent out of shape about it? Today an extremely nerdy kid in his school uniform at Target nearly collided with me because he was making a weird face and doing a silly walk. Shit pissed me off. I'm just trying to buy some cat food and sparkling water and beard shampoo (which I couldn't even find!). If you've ever had something like that, this ep...

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...
