The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

This episode comes from the heart.  Not some artificial heart!!  No.  That'd be too easy.  Too damn easy and why are we always trying to make things easy?  Let me tell you a little something:  a few years ago, I started thinking like this.  I was constantly asking myself, why make it easier?  What's the point?  It was at that point that I immediately stopped making everything easier and...

Sometimes we need clarification and sometimes we don't get it. That's how we get through the day.  We seek out details to the blurry picture we've been given and we run headfirst into the darkness.  To further illustrate this point, I'm not going to ramble on and on about some nonsense that will mean nothingness to anyone but myself so let's just get to the episode.  Enjoy...

On the episode I talk about Kool Moe Dee and the beef he had with L.L. Cool J.  A lot of people don't know about this and it was kind of a big deal that shook up both of their personal lives.  When you're a sensitive rapper like these two, you can let your emotions run away from you but these guys need to learn to squash this beef and move on with their lives.  You never know but they co...

This is one of those "just whipped it out" episodes.  Some people prefer more vulgar euphemisms and they would fault me for having the word "whip" in my sentence but to them I would say there are lots of good whips in the world.  There's Kool Whip.  And that's a tasty whip.  There's the song "Whip It" by Devo and that's a good song.  A little overp...

On this episode I was going to a live simulcast with the Republican convention in Las Vegas, but nobody won so there was no party or speeches.  Trump made one but I've done enough on him already.   This episode is all about outcomes.  Outcomes that lead to our future.  A future in which nobody gets what they want.  It's just like I predicted!!

On this episode, I take a soak in a hot jacuzzi tub and it changes my life.  I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to my pre-jacuzzi days.  They were meaningless.  It's all different now.  I also include old recordings in a most psychedelic way that will surely delight and possibly entertain.  It's all here.  Come and get it.

This is another in my free-form guest less period from the early 2024's.  "God knows what he was thinking" they'll say.  Not about me, but about somebody who looks a lot like me and that's almost a little more disturbing...but I digress.  On this episode, I talk to somebody but I won't say who.  I can't say who.  I'm just not ready.

I'm done spoon feeding the public.  This episode starts my new era of thought provoking expressionism.  Or something like that.  I didn't want to spend all night typing up one of these "Episode Descriptions".  I wanted to go out there and live my life dammit!!!  Please, for god's sake, let me LIVE !!!!

On this episode I do that "chatroom roulette" which I invented a million years ago and so many "podcasters" have ripped me off that the PodcastGuests subreddit has BANNED it!!  Lousy conformists!!!  Either way, you can hear what happens along with a whole lot of rambling.  You know what they say:  A rose by any other name would be just as rambling.

We're back and we're stronger than ever!!  On this episode, I do the entire episode in full effect with the jumping around and what not.  It's like one of those Jane Fonda workout videos before exercise videos became liable for people exercising themselves to death.  Now nobody exercises.  Who can afford it?   All this and more so listen now.  Right now!!

This episode is a real experimental episode.  I had taken so many magic mushrooms that I don't know what I was even talking about.  I don't know what I'm talking about now!! Support the show

This episode is a new beginning of sorts.  It's more like the end of what started as a new beginning but became one of those things that never seems to come to fruition and thus we have what we have here: a new  beginning (of sorts).  On this one I don't say anything sarcastic or mean.  I had to speak in a low voice because I didn't want anyone to know where I was at.  It's har...

On this episode, I was going to do a deep investigation on Chuck Norris and talk all about him and play clips of him talking about himself but that didn't really pan out.  I'd go into it more but that's what a bulk of the episode is about and I don't want to spoil it for you.  I'd rather you just spoil it yourselves and leave me out of it.

This is one of those times where I looked at the calendar (in my mind...I don't have a calendar on the wall or anything) and realized it'd been almost a week since the last podcast, and when you delight in entertaining the public as much as I do, you CAN'T let that happen.  So I didn't.   Here's the new episode!!  Like and subscribe!!!

On this episode I just sit around and think about where I've gone wrong in life.  Why did I drop out of nursing school?  What was I thinking?!?!  Oh well...  Here's another episode.  This one is super exciting.  I won't tell you anymore.  I'll just let you be disappointed on your own.

On this episode I talk with none other than international sensation Gaz Reynolds.  We talk about his meteoric rise on the music scene, his inspirations and where it's all headed.  You won't want to miss it.  Hopefully you didn't want to miss it anyways, but now you REALLY don't want to miss it.  To check out Gaz's music and what not, go here: https://linktr.ee/Gazreynolds...

On this one I talk about what I meant to do but couldn't due to a certain eventuality that sidetracked me completely.  It's like a wash out in dry dock.  A top hat on a bottom feeder.  Nothing makes sense anymore.   Support the show

This is the big episode!!!  That's right!  I finally did one.  I wasn't going to but then I just stopped caring and bam! Support the show

This episode is the result of a long drawn out period of introspection combined with short bursts of social interaction and the occasional recreational martini.  Never medicinal.  But it all comes down to yet another episode of the seemingly endless series of episodes known as this podcast.  The name escapes me but you get the point.

There's a dream I once had.  It was a dream about podcasting.  A "podcasting" dream.  And where did it get me?  Well, it got me right here to where I am today and no matter how hard I try, I cannot break free.   Support the show

It's the big yearly halloween episode that everyone always clamors on and on incessantly about.  And this one's no different.  Who are these people?   What drives them?  Who drives them?  Who's gonna drive them home?  Tonight? Support the show

I think someday, far into the future, the world is going to be a very plain and normal way...and nobody will notice.  Nobody but a few "fringe" members of society and they're going to feel lost and alone.  Until one of them discovers this episode on the internet because they decide to randomly google "porcelain swallow" and this podcast was the only result.  Their lives we...
