Man on a Hill

Riley’s sick, Ty didn’t show, so Mike did an hour solo. One man, a beer, a Red Bull, and a list. The centerpiece is a neighborhood dog feud involving a mutt named Billy, a confrontation with a sweet old lady, and one man quietly rebuilding his family’s good name on the street afterward. Also: scraping roach-filled sludge out of gutters by hand on a steep roof while hungover, a full business plan t...

Hunt is back, and most of this episode is planning a birthday party that might have nobody at it. It’s a blue party: every guest in blue, blue lights, blue food. There’s a flyer. There’s a guest list filling up with th...

BYU is the most fun team in college football. Bear Bachmeier is the Mormon Tim Tebow, he caught his own touchdown on a trick play, and he explained afterward that Notre Dame disrespected his family on a recruiting visi...

FEMA has a real metric for measuring how bad a disaster is: how many Waffle Houses closed. Green is full menu, yellow is limited, red means the storm won. We lived it this weekend, including a thirty dollar Chick-fil-A...

Brought to you by Williamson Brothers Barbecue. Two restaurants in Marietta and Canton, insanely good sauces, and 35 years of doing it right. Find it at Walmart, Kroger, Sprouts, and Whole Foods, or order online. We're back from Chicago. At a dive bar that opens at 7am we met a 60 something-year-old man named Jeff who bought us a beer every time we played a song he liked, refused to tell us hi...

Man on a Hill is now brought to you by Williamson Brothers Barbecue. Thirty-five years, two restaurants in Marietta and Canton, and a sauce that works as a marinade, a baste, and a dip. Find it at Walmart, Kroger, Sprouts, and Whole Foods, or order online. Tythil's back from Germany, where he drank for a week, stayed up until four every night, and still can't confirm whether he drove on the Autoba...

Friend of the Hill, Hunter shows up while Tythil is on a top secret mission. Hunter brings the stories: fifteen years of fantasy football and no championships while his little brother won two in four years, a first week of college that ended with rumors he died in a ditch and four trips to the Georgia Dome. The Falcons get a full therapy session. Cooper Rush, three missed field goals in two games,...

One of us fully believes he could tackle an NFL running back. Ten by ten yards, no blockers, one whistle. He's got a game plan involving belt buckles and chopping his feet. The rest of us think he doesn't touch Bijan once in a hundred tries. There's now a progression, and it's getting filmed. Also: the Falcons go on trial with four quarterbacks, three of them hurt, and a plea to Ar...

We recorded this hungover, sick, and on four hours of sleep. One of us threw up before we started. Five days of summer camp will do that: Georgia Tech vs Colorado, Dragon Con, a Star Wars rave, and pranks that escalated to salted water bottles and chicken alarm clocks. Through the middle of it walks Deep Skeet Keeth. Eight hours late in a truck that kept dying on 285. Straight to the porch, three...

A guy in a Cadillac was blasting a song outside a flea market in Macon. Mike heard one lyric, looked it up, and found Butterknife Shawty: a black cowboy out of Atlanta who smokes ribs, sells barbecue plates, goes to Mike's gym, and makes music that sounds like Charlie Wilson and Morgan Wallen in the same room. All his videos are AI so people think he's AI. He isn't. We called it first....

Fourteen guys are coming to the draft party and we cannot agree on how many pizzas that is. The number goes 26, then 22, then 18, then somebody suggests scrapping pizza entirely for Publix fried chicken. Still no answer by the end. Meanwhile Mike is in a neck brace he's worn for five days straight, earned by watching reels on the workout bike and checking his phone between bench press sets. He...

Everything lives at manonahillpod.com We found out this week that all mammals make milk. All of them. Every single one. That turns into a full ranking of donkey, camel, dog, and pig milk, and that's how Episode 18 got its name. Also on this one: Lewis Barbecue and a bill big enough to split into three meals. The Drake speed dating clip where a grown man gets asked to bark. A juggalo-themed fan...

We lost an entire episode. An hour and forty-five minutes, gone. It's not the first and it wont be the last. So we put on bonnets, made a pitcher of Betty Whites, and did it again at brunch. Mike explains why he has never picked up his dog's poop and never will. We realize the movie Obsession is just Fairly OddParents. Someone catches Mike yelling for Spider-Man in his sleep. DeKalb County...

JACK STRAND SAVES ATLANTA Tua is hurt. Penix is hurt. Bijan's hurt. Cooper Rush is 32. The Falcons are a poverty franchise in freefall — but there's one man who can save the season, and his name is Jack Strand: fourth-string quarterback, D2 Heisman winner, six-foot-four, built like Tim Tebow. Jack, if you're hearing this, we'll carve you into Stone Mountain and get you in the laser...

A Frazier came for us in the comments and Mike wants the smoke. Joe Frazier's son Derek showed up under the leg-washing video to tell us we stink, then brought up fighting, then deleted the comments. We screenshotted them. Episode starts there and never recovers. Also inside: Mike's New Orleans bachelor party body count, a guy found asleep on the side of the road, an airport dress code man...

This week the small business is BACK and somehow more unhinged than ever. Immediately we spiral into a heated debate about whether one of us is secretly a low-rent celebrity lookalike, then pivot into the real meat: bachelor party chaos. Mike breaks down his evolution into the guy who shows up naked in the hot tub, trolls the group chat into oblivion, and turns a hungover Waffle House breakfast fo...

Would You Eat A Pokémon? Magic City Takes & Atlanta Rabbit Holes with Mascot We kicked things off with our first guest Mascot (@mascotdope) on Man on a Hill, then dove straight into Bonnaroo memories and camping setups before it spirals into lucid dreaming, conspiracy theories, strip club culture, church hot takes, wild food opinions, and those weird little habits people swear by. From there w...

Racing The Freeze, Butt Pussy Texts & Fripp Island Bender We kicked things off celebrating 50+ days of Man on a Hill with some new tech upgrades, then dove straight into Will racing The Freeze at the Braves game after pounding beers and a footlong hot dog (he gave him a real run). From there it spirals into the legendary butt pussy text Mike accidentally sent to Will’s dad, a spontaneous Fripp...

Uncle Sam, Sushi Push Pops & Chick-fil-A We kicked things off with Mike rocking the full Uncle Sam getup (that quickly turned into Colonel Sanders), celebrating 50 days of Man on a Hill, and upgrading our tech. From there it spirals into the absolute crime that is Subway’s new footlong hot dogs, a Hilton Head work conference full of day drinking and half-chub poolside moments, and the sushi pu...

Episode 10 – World Cup Fat Camp & Boss Hog The boys debate whether the World Cup is actually entertaining, discuss foreign fans discovering America's obsession with giant portions and late-night food, and imagine tourists leaving the U.S. 20 pounds heavier than when they arrived. Plus: Kool-Aid pineapple taste tests, a breakdown of internet sales gurus, childhood chore horror stories, and...

Gay Chicken, $150 Oysters & Kanye’s Globe Stage We kicked things off with Hey Mister stories, high school gay chicken in the locker room, and wild Panama City beer runs in a gorilla suit. From there it spirals into $150 gas station oysters in Atlanta, breastfeeding maternity shoots that went too far, and the sad fate of Chu Tao the Chinese celebrity Border Collie. We roast performative Knicks...

Birthday Licks, Mr. Beast Jet Smuggler & Toddler Raves We kicked things off with high school birthday licks, Sweet 16 horror stories, and how the party industry ruined a generation. From there it spirals into the Bed Rot Challenge, the Mr. Beast jet winner who got arrested smuggling 577 lbs of weed, why toddler techno raves are peak cringe, and more. We debate the greatest sports sounds of all...

Episode 7 - World Cup Scammers We kick things off with a proper land acknowledgment for the Muscogee tribe before diving headfirst into the absurdity of Helen, Georgia’s redneck charm. We talk antique shopping bragging rights, why buying Hot Cheetos and chicken wings out the back of a tailgate is the new luxury, Mike’s failed short ribs cook that ended in burnt hands, and the legendary goat-laughi...

Episode 6 - Same Day Grillz Mike shows up with a brand new gold grill fresh from the 285 Flea Market and gives us the full chaotic story — purple putty mouthpiece, same-day service, the Asian dude forcing it on with a plastic glove, and the temporary lisp that comes with looking absolutely ridiculous. From there we go off the rails: Kool-Aid pineapples, Crack House crack grapes, Joey Chestnut gett...
