OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #142: THE HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY

Don't panic! The OGs (and one young guy - Dan Schwartz) fulfill a promise made years ago when they realized they didn't do this topic for episode 42. They dive into the multimedia cult phenomenon from the late, great Douglas Adams. Also - mystery bone broth, cicada p*e, at bears, dirt water, the Bible should lighten up, and our new "guy in the booth", David. Pour yourself a Pan Galactic Gargleblaster, the effects of which are like having your brains smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped around a large gold brick, and enjoy! Don't forget your towel.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #141: ANIMAL STORIES

For a brief, shining moment in the late 70's and early 80's, in Chicago, two guys made almost everyone chuckle. WLS DJs Larry Lujack and Tommy Edwards would present about 10 minutes of weird, funny stories (mostly) about animals every weekday on the airwaves. It's what podcasting was back then The OGs were in that sweet spot where they were able to enjoy the show at its peak. In this episode, they think back fondly and then completely rip off the format.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #139: Surfing the Chaos (Part 1)

The end (of 2023) is nigh! It's been a mixed bag of a year for the OGs. From absent friends to cars crashing into houses, the Guys look back on the year, just happy to have survived. Combo platter, Canadian animation, negativity, lightsaber inconsistency, 50% with Marvel, and a wheelchair-accessible TARDIS are all on deck in the first half of this discussion!

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #138: Willem Dafoe & David Warner

This time around the OGs are chatting about two actors who never disappoint; Willem Dafoe (Platoon, Spider-Man, Last Temptation of Christ, Boondock Saints) and David Warner (The Omen, Time Bandits, Tron, Twin Peaks). Also, they create the ultimate Wonka horror movie and recreate Hugh Grant's front seat "encounter" from the 90s.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #137: LOOSE LIPS

The sink ships we hear, but the OGs can't stop their lips from flappin'. They chat about lots of things. A gorge of mayonnaise. Don't take the name of Goofy in vain. The Whackadoo political party could unite the country. Did THE X-FILES help poison the well? This one drills down into the dark.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #136: COOL BUILDINGS

Buildings are all around us... no, literally, as I am writing this. There's one right there. A couple next door and a ton THAT way. The Old Guys like it when they're cool! Whether they look like they're melting, were built out of spite or torture the mentally ill, the OGs are all about them. Also, decades of Panda misinformation are finally cleared up. Alfred E. Newman is HOW old? Tall or sprawl? Finally, who was the Flash Gordon of American Architecture?

This is heavy! The OGs pay tribute to a legendary Gen X talent that shaped our lives, Michael J. Fox. From his days as Alex P. Keaton to the recent documentary STILL, the OGs can't contain their 1.21 Jigawatts of love. Also, this history of Garage Sales. Muppets be trippin'. Phoebe Cates and all her dead chimney relatives. Psycho killer... kiss kissay. When this ep hits 88 mph, you're gonna see some serious ****

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #130: THE NIGHT SOIL EPISODE

The OGs wrap up the year with a hangout chat. Wintergreen sparks, night soil, DIE HARD being a sequel, ASMR, coin purses, floating hands, the Christmas blahs, and Phil Collins' strange 90s TV special are all on the yackety-yak menu.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #129: WEIRD AL

The OGs are joined by friends Heidi, Jackson and Katie as they all ooze gross love all over Weird Al Yankovic. From his chart-topping parodies to his original music, videos, movies, and TV shows. The man who invented the tw***ie wiener sandwich, loved Harvey the Wonder Hampster and made the accordion a little cooler. A good man who seems timeless. Put on your Hawaiian shirt and tuck in.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #128: AUTUMN

The OGs are back but the world is dying! Leaves fall from the trees. Spices and smoke are in the air. Spirits and ghouls walk the night. SOUNDS AWESOME! The Guys love autumn and talk endlessly about it. Pumpkin Spice or no? Team Candy Corn or not? Plus Halloween movies and memories. Memory lane is covered in dead LEAVES!!!

Good morning all! Old Guy Eric here. Shawn and I just wanted to let you know that we are alive. I have been working and gigging and Shawn has been working and had several art shows to prep for. It's that time of year and we have not been able to carve out time to record. Fear not! We should be back in early October with new episodes. We miss you guys.

01/09/2022

Hey guys! You will have noticed that there is no Old Guys episode today. We have been super busy and haven't had an opportunity to record. Episodes will resume in a few weeks. See you then.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #127: OTHERWORLDLY CREATURES

In this episode, the OGs take a magical journey through a mystical land and talk about their favorite critters that "ain't from 'round here." From Cthulu to Fizzgig to whatever the hell those things were in TIME BANDITS. Also, Eric becomes an incognito farmhand in the 40s while Shawn wants the save the cute Gelfling girl. How far back does toxic fandom go? Angels got rebooted in the 4th Century. All this and more can be yours! Tune in, won't you?

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #126: JUST HANGING OUT

The OGs opted out of a topic this time, choosing instead to just hang out and chat. They try strange snacks and beverages. Hear talk of horrible jobs past, liquid breakfast cereal, and Gwar. Pull up a chair. It gets real.

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #125: CHICAGO

The OGs have grown up in the suburban shadow of Chi-Town. The Windy City. The city of big shoulders. The city that became Nolan's Gotham. CHICAGO! Ferris Bueller's town. And the Old Guys love that town. From Wrigley to the thing not actually called The Bean. From dives to the Lower Lower. They will never give in. Never surrender. They will NEVER call it Willis Tower. ALSO... the many sounds of... um... well... you will need to listen.
