When Is Tech Good Enough? 37:47

5h ago37:47

37:47

With Jay out, Robbie and Art take a deep dive into the latest trends in producing digital and print content with software alternatives to challenge the tech behemoths currently monopolizing the industry. Do you really need to pay a high annual subscription to produce a professional-looking flyer or video? The Guys also remember an Oscar-winning act…

425: Mom’s Weekend (Better Late Than Never) LIVE! 1:23:26

3d ago1:23:26

1:23:26

It’s been four long months coming, but our much-delayed live show is finally here! Sorry if the sound is echoey, the new space upstairs at Blade & Timber in downtown Lawrence is big as hell (and what a view!). These notes aren’t great, but the show sure was (and with a cavalcade of guests), so you should join us when we do it in 2 months for the li…

Influential Sci-FI Books : The Final Frontier 47:04

4d ago47:04

47:04

Do you Sci-Fi? The Guys Sci-Fi. And in this episode they talk about the sci-fi books that influenced them - and more or less the world - in all kinds of crazy ways. Art talks ERB and his Mars series, Robbie extols the virtues of Dune and more, and Jay riffs on the book he read sometime in 1982 that actually took place 2 years later. Heroic quests, …

11d ago29:41

29:41

Workin’ on our night zoom. The Notes: We have no timer, but we’ll do our best! We finally have a live show: 4/20, Blade & Timber in downtown Lawrence, 7:30pm drinks, 8pm show! Delivery issues re: our lawyer! Felix is slighter in frame! Nelson is a goldmine made of man! Goldmine-man! That chocolate Midas book! Joy is fleeting! It’s a textures game! …

Toys We Want Back! 37:07

13d ago37:07

37:07

Robbie took out his Han Solo blaster and said, “We’ll be talking toys today.” Or he would have, if he still had one. That and many other toys that got away and are now virtual college funds on eBay are the subject of this episode’s discussion of regret. (And it’s not even Jay’s regrettable segment, which is invisible this week, so to speak.) Robbie…

439: Busted by the Science Busters! 30:10

19d ago30:10

The Oscar Goes To....Not Jay 31:16

26d ago31:16

31:16

There are three members of the Ghost Patrol, the feature of this week’s Jay’s Regrettable Segment, but only 2 Guys in the studio today. Jay and Robbie were ghosted by Art. But they mustered up the courage and the words to talk about Oscar and all his little statuettes. Geekdom did fairly well this year- at least in the nominee category - with India…

This is (Robbie's) Life 41:36

1M ago41:36

41:36

It’s the first of a series if The Guys remember to finish: it’s time to “Get to Know the Guys.” Art is out this week taking care of his executive producer, so Jay takes a few minutes to interview Robbie. To figure out where he came from, how he got all his irons into all his fires, what makes him the vibrant media personality all listeners know and…

Dune, Again 33:50

1M ago33:50

33:50

It’s finally here, the year 10,091, and with it the science fiction movie of the moment - and probably little ol’ 2024: Dune Part 2. obbie gets to see the movie, Jay gets the sandworm popcorn bucket (or he would, if his little ol’ hometown had an AMC theater.) Art’s interest to be named later. But apparently Robbie thought highly enough of the epic…

436: Daisy Dukin’ and Boot Sloshin’ (feat: Ollie!) 27:09

2M ago27:09

27:09

Brought to you by Magic Mind! Doing an early morning zoom, what’s poppin’ sun? The Notes: Early Morning Deuce Crew (honk honk)! Ollie has poop questions, we have technical yesses! The special room! Too many people are dying (RIP Katie Coleman)! Moving to KC is like a small death, the petite mort of the highway! We’re still on that Magic Mind train,…

1
The Gilded Age 36:08

2M ago36:08

36:08

The Guys are definitely a certain age, thought not quite a gilded age. But that didn’t stop them from going a little bit off-genre in this week’s episode as they discuss both seasons of The Gilded Age streaming series on Max. Jokes were attempted about whether or not Art actually knew any of the characters portrayed, but even he is a youngster comp…

435: All Pugged Up 29:20

2M ago29:20

29:20

This episode brought to you by Magic Mind! Zooming straight into your hearts (and minds) with this one. The Notes: The Ides of the 430’s! Sorry, but, Will wants to burn more witches! Are British people witches? Sponsor Corner: Magic Mind! Live show is still coming soon! We have new locations interested and it’ll be all figured out before we know it…

SuperBowl '24 Ads 42:48

2M ago42:48

42:48

It’s that time of year, when the best (or at least the most expensive) commercials are gathered for a showing, while some pretty good football players run around a grassy spot in Vegas to keep viewers occupied between commercials. It’s the Super Bowl, and yet again, The Guys did not sponsor a commercial, as they were about $6,999,975 short of what …

434: Bearded Midwestern Men of a Certain Age 27:48

2M ago27:48

27:48

This episode brought to you by Magic Mind! We’re recording in person and we’ve got a sponsor! The Notes: Special guest Daisy the dog! You can rent people, so Auman is incorrect and we’re legally in the clear! We avoided a hot Auman! Daisy loves Nelson! Nelson is a druid, and a dog friend! We’re bearded midwestern men of a certain age, categorically…

The Return of Alien 35:27

2M ago35:27

35:27

There are movie franchises out in the ether that go a thousand different directions: some good, some less good. Sometimes it’s the perspective of the fandom. The Guys talk about this a lot when it comes to cinematic universes that involve space or superheroes. This time it’s Alien, set for another reboot of sorts that may or may not ignore the orig…

433: Rent-That-Auman 29:59

2M ago29:59

29:59

Zooming cause it’s been a real one lately. The Notes: Updates on the live show (it’s still coming, details soon) and sponsorship (we got one! Starting next week!)! Andy Morton’s Celebration of Life (watch it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i87hetJkCrs)! Get those asses checked! Will’s radio interview while on the toilet! Failing to prepare is pr…

For All Man (and Jay) kind 35:19

2M ago35:19

35:19

It’s the outer space saga that might have been, and another season has come to a close on Mars. Nope, it’s not John Carter, it’s Ed Baldwin and the rest of the crew working hard For All Mankind. In this season, Ed gets his free Guys of a Certain Age tote bag, in the form of gray hair, a slight stoop and an ornery disposition, but still has the ener…

Is there an ECHO in here? 37:16

2M ago37:16

37:16

Art takes a breather this week from the rigorous podcasting schedule - or maybe he’s still recovering from the 5th birthday party of the podcast. Either way, he’s out today but Robbie and Jay are in…are in …are in. That should be a clue…a clue…a clue… to the subject of this episode: Disney+/Marvel Spotlight’s five-episode streaming series, Echo. Th…

Tracy (Griffin) of the Jungle 54:03

3M ago54:03

54:03

The Guys may be a certain age, but the Guys of a Certain Age podcast just turned 5 years old. (That’s 50 in podcast years). Who could believe it? Happy Podcastiversary! And to celebrate, they bring back a guest, this time live and in the studio: Scott Tracy Griffin, aka Hollywod’s “Tarzan Expert on Call.” But as the tales are told on this episode, …

431: Sleepy Time Podcast Tea 29:01

430: One Last Talk with Andy 22:56

3M ago22:56

22:56

We’re doing something different this week as we continue to mourn the passing of our dear friend and frequent collaborator, Andy Morton. Back in this past November, Will was keeping Andy company during one of his chemo treatments and the two decided to record a quick 20-minute interview about Andy’s experiences with his cancer fight and how he was …

The Legacy of Monarch, Season 1 (Apple TV+) 35:39

3M ago35:39

35:39

Guys-zilla is back! That’s right, from Apple TV+, Legacy of Monsters Season One has come to an end; but Season One of Guys of a Certain Age enters its sixth year. Thankfully, The Guys are still around to talk about all things Monarch. And despite suspicions, they have this conversation in a genuine podcast studio, not in a retirement home with free…

429: Goodbye to a Local Legend 40:28

3M ago40:28

40:28

A somber episode as the loss of friend, collaborator, comrade, and all-around legend Andy Morton this week hits us hard. We remember him in our own rambling way before rounding out a super-sized episode with a momentary Sports Corner and a bit of what we’re watching on Netflix. The notes were kind of an afterthought, but here’s what we’ve got— The …

Roses are Red, Beetles are Blue 42:31

3M ago42:31

42:31

Blue Beetle, a long-awaited addition to the DC superhero movie archive, finally made it to the big screen last year. And once it made it to MAX for streaming, two of The Guys did get around to watching it. In this episode, Art and Jay chat about the ups and downs of this lesser-known hero’s theater debut: did it live up to the budget? did Susan and…

1
Where’s Our Rocket Packs? 27:46

3M ago27:46

27:46

As The Guys headed into 2024, they got wind of a few major world (or perhaps galaxy-wide) events due to take place this year that any true Trekkie would already be expecting. True or not, that got them to wondering what other films, tv shows or books released decades ago but set in the “future” of current times may have accidentally made some accur…

428: Knees Deep in Skeeze 25:59

3M ago25:59

25:59

Zooming cause it’s SO COLD! The Notes: Will forgets numbers! Will doesn’t want this night to end! Live Show postponement (again, but we swear we’ll see y’all soon)! Free kitchenware, suck it estate sales! Will’s car is still being held hostage! Our hot summers! Tell us about your hot summer! Nelson misses those dollars! Will should have gamed the s…

2nd Zoom’s a charm! After a failed first attempt, we get our shit together and give you what you want! The Notes: Live Show this Friday (location will be announced ASAP)! Storms, Wichita, the devil, and other typical January problems! Dale and Ron are taking hostages: coats, Gatorade, maybe even a boat! Jacqueline Grunau pop-in! A box of keys and e…

1
The Shape of ’24 To Come 35:53

4M ago35:53

35:53

Just like The Guys carefully plan out each episode, they also like to plan out the video content they hope to watch over the next year. Or it could be just a random binge-fest. Or maybe on a whim, they’ll get together on discount night at their local theater and go see a three-hour flick about sand. Or is it spice? Either way, in this episode they …

The 2023 GEMMYS (Best TV/Streamers of ’23) 30:29

4M ago30:29

30:29

If The Guys version of the yearly movie awards are the GOSCARS, does that make the TV awards the GEMMYS? Sounds more like a condition young children have when they want something that doesn’t belong to them, but that’s another podcast for another day. This episode focuses on what The Guys thought made for the best binging in 2023. And let’s just no…

1
426: Mean Bones & Sky Ghosts 27:27

4M ago27:27

27:27

New Year’s Eve morning zoom! Also, you didn’t miss an episode! The episode 425 live show got pushed back 2 weeks and will drop then, so we’re lowkey time traveling again. Like we do! The Notes: Will scares Nelson! Pets never judge your sexiness! Will’s potential Welsh ancestry is a boon to his singing! It don’t hurt to be Welsh! Will only spits his…

The 2023 GOSCARS (Best Movies of ’23) 24:14

4M ago24:14

24:14

Welcome to the 2023 GOSCARS! It’s the most informal awards show on the interwebs, when The Guys try to remember everything they’ve seen this year on big screens and small that can be called a movie. And that’s no small feat, given the fact that remembering is hard. But thanks to the aforementioned interwebs, memories are recalled, and the top movie…

424: Breaking News: Merry Christmas! 30:24

4M ago30:24

30:24

Little early morning Christmas Eve zoom for the kids! The Notes: Number palindromes! Shipping forecast, but for sleeping! Nelson explains the difference between geology and geography! Will explains the difference between astronomy and astrology! Nelson accidentally lets Will do a pun! Humans can’t shake their heads and talk about it at the same tim…

Archie! The tribute to Normal Lear 24:55

4M ago24:55

24:55

In this episode, Robbie and Art pay tribute to Norman Lear, the legendary producer who created All in the Family, Good Times, the Jeffersons, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, and many other shows that changed television forever. Geeks of the week include Kurt Russell possibly and fearlessly filling Brando's shoes as Jor-El in the upcoming Superman: Lega…

423: The 3 Seashells 28:45

4M ago28:45

28:45

Zooming again cause reasons! The Notes: A somber start as we bid farewell to Jaq’s dad (RIP Chuck)!

Brad Neely is on the TVs!? It’s Always Sunny of yore! …

1
The Marvelous Marvels 32:11

4M ago32:11

32:11

Aside from the night The Guys recorded an episode immediately after a superhero movie, this may be the quickest turnaround yet. Yes, The Marvels movie has been out a few weeks, and it took that long for them to find a time to go see it together, but it only took a few days to get to the studio to talk about it. And it’s a shame, because it’s the hi…

422: DecaDeuce vol 13: Elevator Talk 1:01:19

5M ago1:01:19

1:01:19

DecaDeuce 13? So lucky! Much spooky! We couldn’t record a new episode! But don’t worry, we still have a new episode! It’s a DecaDeuce! DecaDeuce volume 13! The deep fans know, but Stan Lee always said every issue is somebody’s first issue, so here it is! Ten all-new mini 2 minute & 20 second (they run long, sure, but it’s a commentary on society, m…

Loki Redux 24:08

5M ago24:08

24:08

As always, The Guys are on the cutting edge of geek culture news, this time bringing you their take on Loki, Season 2, which aired its finale weeks ago. But hey, they’re busy dudes and for some reason they can’t keep Robbie out of Vegas. Finally, though, they give Loki the attention he deserves, and also initiate a new ratings system. Listen carefu…

421: Live Bold! 28:05

5M ago28:05

28:05

We both fell asleep, so it’s a super rare early morning recording! The Notes: We’re sleepy boys! Apparently we’re morning people! Live bold, kids! A coffeemaker willing to go out on its own terms! This podcast is nothing if not a thoroughbred! A double-reverse Gilmore Girls! Venn diagrams are where statistics and geometry hold hands! Live show info…

The Guys Guide To Vegas 54:47

5M ago54:47

54:47

"Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is usually the case, but not in this episode, as Robbie and Art share some of their memories (or vague recollections) of times spent in the Entertainment Capital of the World. After almost taking up residency this past year, Robbie also shares tips and pointers on staying in Vegas. Geeks of the Weeks incl…

420: Big Moist Boy 27:40

5M ago27:40

27:40

It was a perfect storm of back pain, snowstorm, tired, other stuff, so we’re zooming. The perfect storm also affected Will’s internets so there’s a couple quick freezes/lags, but it’s not too bad— just want to apologize for them in advance. Still, we ball! The Notes: Will’s getting high on the pod soon and we have a live show soon! Stay tuned next …

The Podcast Offer You Can’t Refuse 35:36

5M ago35:36

35:36

It’s the podcast episode you can’t refuse, and one that The Guys didn’t have to negotiate with a crime family to produce. Speaking of crime family vibes, Robbie was in Vegas this week looking for one secret formula. Or something of the sort: he said it had to stay in Vegas. That left Art and Jay to reach into the Wayback Machine and talk about anot…

1
419: Objective Truth & the McRib 32:22

5M ago32:22

32:22

We’re zooming again, we’re sober, and we got no guest, but it’s still a bonus-sized Thanksgiving feast for the ears, and Ollie is in the background for listeners with whatever the ear equivalent is of eagle-eyed. The Notes: We’re a week away from a stoned, Thanksgiving episode 420, so prepare yourselves over the holiday break for that! A brief disc…

1
Jay’s Strange New World 30:56

5M ago30:56

30:56

In this episode, we learn that Jay does take the other Guys’ watchlist recommendations from time to time, and because Star Trek: Strange New Worlds had minimal zombies, he might actually take a recommendation again. Yes, Robbie and Art did an episode on SNW shortly after Season 2 ended. Jay, on the other hand, took a little longer to finish, but it…

418: 90’s Lawrence Bingo Cards (w/ Mel Novak!) 25:47

5M ago25:47

25:47

It’s our second in person episode recorded in a row, we’re a little drunk, we’re futurepast-ing like we do sometimes, and special guest Mel Novak is back-ack-ack-ack! The Notes: Working on our night stuff! Not enough murders! Eating noodles and opening mail! Mail unboxing videos! Dick in a box unboxing videos! John Popper’s Olde Fashioned Poppers! …

Revisited: The Last Starfighter 44:47

6M ago44:47

44:47

The challenge was issued: pick a movie all The Guys would watch (again, presumably - yes, even Jay had seen this one, he thought). Then come back and talk about how it held up 39 years later. Wait, what?? It’s been 39 years since The Last Starfighter hit the silver screen? That’s right. It was a cutting edge science fiction flick when it came to di…

1
417: Polaroid Dick Pic (w/ Mel Novak!) 26:47

6M ago26:47

26:47

We’re in person with a special guest, Mel Novak, holy shit! The Notes: Will knows numbers! Lawrence 90’s vibes vs 20’s vibes! Bottle vs box wine! The young of the old! Mel recommends the Wine Dive in downtown Lawrence! Will’s unsolicited dick pics (to his mom?)! Analog dick pics! Bottles of wine make for a real California Adventure! Kurt Russell is…
