Men Like That

Hey everyone. Thanks for sticking around with Men Like That this year. We loved making the show and watching it grow, but ultimately felt we were being mis-categorized as a for-men production, a truly revolting notion, that we hope is corrected with the launch of our next project, Podford University. Podford University, is available now on all major podcast platforms. If you enjoyed Men Like That, we hope you’ll join us over at Podford for our usual assortment of bad impressions, time-travel, and poorly-answered questions. And, on the topic of “questions”, we invite you to write-in to Podford University at registrar [at] podford [dot] com. Please note we’re most likely to include college-related questions on the show, so keep that in mind and, while you’re at it, feel free to refer to yourself as a Podford student - because, well, officially you are one. Men Like That will continue to exist at the feed you’re listening to now, so if you care to revisit any of our past stupidity in your spare time, you can still do that. It’s possible I’ll move this feed over to Podford’s website in the coming weeks to avoid paying for two servers, so please look out for that. So that’s that. Podford.com is the best way to learn about the show, what it is, where to subscribe to it, and hear the trailer we posted a few days ago. Thank you again for sticking it out with us, and as always, tuck your shirt in. Podford University on Apple Podcasts Podford University on Spotify Podford University on Google Podcasts Podford University on Stitcher Podford University on Radio Public Podford University on Podbean Podford University on Facebook Podford University on YouTube Podford University on TuneIn Podford University on Amazon Music Podford University on Deezer Podford University on Castbox

Well, that's it folks. We're ending Men Like That much like we began it (the first time, before Brandon!); with a complicated plot line involving time-travel and silly magic and stuff. Even Jeff is here, too, for all you OGs. We're all really glad you actual strangers listened to the show. It means a lot to us that we made something that ya'll regularly downloaded and tuned into on a weekly basis. So, the truth is we're not ending the show because we feel like we failed (even though we are, as individuals, failures) but instead because we want to continue to put our effort, time, and energy into something we could better explain to a newcomer. We decided we want to work on something that folks couldn't possibly ever mistake for an actual advice show, or something tailed specifically for men [vomit sounds here]. "Men Like That" was inspired by a line from The Room; it was never meant to imply we're creating content specifically for the boys! So ... our upcoming podcast Podford University promises to be as ludicrous and irreverent as MLT ever was, if not moreso, while offering an easier and more unique pitch to newcomers. We hope you love it as much as we've loved putting it together. Stay tuned for PU's launch! From the minds that brought you Men Like That: Podford University, arriving to your podcast device Fall Semester 2020.

If you haven't guessed it by now (which would only be possible by not listening to the last show), we're replacing this podcast with a new one. It'll exist on an entirely new feed and it will be called Podford University. No, you cannot subscribe to our new show just yet (for silly marketing and promotional reasons) but if you continue to subscribe to Men Like That here, then all of your questions will be answered soon. From the minds that brought you Men Like That: Podford University, arriving to your podcast device Fall Semester 2020.

In the deepest darkest caves of MLT we have dug out some of the best promo intros we have ever created. We’ve carefully curated these to help us introduce all of you to our new project. Here is our guide to help you through this promo forest: VH1 Ain't the Only 80's Promo Lover in These Parts Scary Spooky Promo Time From the Promo Ocean to the Moon Promo Behold, the Fantastical Wizards of Promo Chalice Yore From the minds that brought you Men Like That: Podford University, arriving to your podcast device Fall Semester 2020.

Can you believe it? 50 beautiful episodes, we've really made it. You know, in dog podcasts we'd have about 350 episodes by now. Isn't that amazing? 350 episodes if we were three stupid dogs making a podcasts about dog trash. We'd probably bark up a storm and talk about how good it is to eat grass, chew on bones, and chase those cats around the neighborhood. It's fun to imagine what our podcasts would be like if we were three big beautiful dogs. A few old friends come by this episode to celebrate with us too! All of your old favorites swinging by to help us answer some of your questions. It's truly amazing all of the friends we've made along the way while recording this podcast. It really makes you wonder what kind of guests we would've had stop by if we were three big dogs recording a podcast instead of humans...

The size of one of our backyards is called into question on this episode. Maybe the size of someone's backyard shouldn't even be brought up on a podcast, maybe that's something personal that should be between a person and their loved ones who share the backyard with them. But the fact of the matter is it happened and it can't be taken back now, this is something that will live on forever on the internet. One of us will die with that shame now. Now maybe the size of someone's backyard shouldn't matter, maybe it's what you can do with it that counts... maybe it's the memories you make with that backyard that matter. The point is it should've never been brought up and now we might have to end the podcast. It shouldn't have to come to this, but hey that's where we are. Hope you enjoy the episode...

What's your favorite part of the pickle? The crunch? The sour? The color green? Maybe you don't like pickled cucumbers though, maybe you prefer picked radishes or onions. Maybe you don't like pickles at all, perhaps when it comes to vegetables you're a "fresh is best" kind of person. That's fine! We're not judging anyone based on their pickle preferences... well, one of us is, but that's up to you to figure out. We're a pro-pickle podcast and we're not just saying that because we love alliteration. No, we love pickles here. In fact we've completely stopped eating foods that aren't pickled because it just makes more sense to us. Pickled foods last longer, they have a bunch of juice in them you can drink, AND once the apocalypse is fully underway we can all but guarantee that pickles will become a staple in bartering for goods and services. So grab a jar of your favorite Vlasics and dig into this new fresh episode before we decide to pickle it.

Wow, we did it. We made it to San Diego Comic-Con and they let us do some talking. Comic-Con is the time of year where people talk about their favorite superheroes and sometimes they also talk about Sonic the Hedgehog. We were there to talk about the former, and boy oh boy did we have a heck of a time. Because of the state of the world Comic-Con was completely digital this year so we streamed on their official Twitch channel and waxed poetically about very strong people with powers. If you didn't get a chance to watch our stream we're giving you a wonderful chance to listen to it in the form of a podcast episode! Maybe you did get a chance to watch the stream, but our dumb faces were so distracting you barely understood what we were talking about, well you're in luck! So sit back, relax, and listen to us talk about comics or whatever.

For the past few years people have been going crazy about cell phones. They're the phones you can bring every where, you can talk to anyone you want no matter where you are. We don't know about the rest of you, but here at Men Like That HQ, well we think that's pretty neat! We think it's great that if you're out grocery shopping you can still have a friend call to say "hello" because a good "hello" from a great friend is one of life's simple pleasures, there's no denying that. We can't wait to share some good cell phone stories with all of you. We also dive into that age old question of "how do you get bugs out of your body or out of pipes?" There's a lot of takes on the internet about what you should do in this situation, so we're going to give you our very own spicy take, just like you always want. Keep some ice on hand before you listen to this episode, because we're coming in hot.

The internet is absolutely going wild right now because no matter what someone cuts into it always turns out to be cake. This is the future we live in. We are in an absolutely terrible dystopia and the only ounce of pleasure we can seem to get is seeing a disembodied hand cut into a toilet roll or a box of Kix only to find out that both items were just chocolate cake all along. This is our reward for living through a pandemic. You know what though? The cake content is nice and its comforting and no one will remember it in two weeks. What will replace the cake content? Maybe every time someone sits on a couch it's really just a bunch of hams? Maybe every time you listen to this podcast it turns out to be a Stephen King audiobook, guess you won't know unless you listen.

Are you a big fan of rockin’ or do you prefer rollin’? Either way we have you covered on this episode. We’re going to be talking about everyone’s favorite stringy music maker, the sweet guitar, and the people that can make magic with those babies. Music isn’t the only art form discussed though! We’re also dipping our toes into the art of fine cinema. More specifically we’ll be talking about the hottest film of 2001, that’s right we’re talking K-Pax. K-Pax didn’t understand how to eat a banana and we love that. Grab your favorite yellow fruit and a beanbag chair, this new episode is pretty nice!

We hope you're excited for a lot of Flintstones talk because we've got that modern stone age family on the brain. There's nothing we love more than really digging into some Flintstones science and trying to figure out how that beautiful family of freaks lived. What is your favorite live-action Flintstones film? Is it the first one with Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble? OR is it the second one where they go to Rock Vegas and Stephen Baldwin plays Barney Rubble? There is only one correct answer, and if this helps, only one of them has Alan Cumming playing one of the greatest Flintstones characters. The character I'm obviously talking about is the Great Gazoo, the alien that only Fred and Barney can see that calls them "dumb dumbs." So grab your favorite slab of old dinosaur meat and listen to a nice new episode.

We know we’re a little late, but in honor of Father’s Day we’ve got some good dad talk in this episode. We like to pride ourselves here in knowing what dad’s love. Dads love Gone in 60 Seconds and it just so happens this month marks the 20th anniversary of the theatrical release of that dad-pleaser. Nothing gets a dad’s gears going like watching Nicolas Cage go fast, oh boy. Just thinking about how happy all of those cars make our dads brings a big tear to our eyes. So grab your dad and maybe listen to this episode with him and in the immortal words of Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds: “you better not leave me alone with a cool red car because it will be gone in 60 seconds.”

Did you know that as of the week of this release Best Buy’s Geek Squad is 26 years old? It feels like only yesterday those goofballs were helping us fix our dad’s chunky PCs because we kept trying to mod the copies of Leisure Suit Larry we weren’t supposed to have in the first place! But Geek Squad was there for us, they got rid of the viruses and most importantly they didn’t tell our dads about Larry. It might be hard to find the right way to say thank you for all the Geeks have done for us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try. Hopefully we’ll be able to help you out with that and maybe, just maybe, we can finally give something back to those lovable Geeks.

Here at MLT headquarters we wear many hats and this episode is no different. We’re wearing our dragon historian hats, our pasta hats, and most importantly our bodybuilder hats. It may not be obvious, but we’re very into fitness around here. We love to truly bulk up, we absolutely adore getting disgustingly swole, and to us there’s nothing better than sharpening our beautiful six-pack abs. If you’re looking for muscle tips, we’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for home DIY tips, we’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for candle making tips, we don’t cover that on this episode. Grab your favorite protein bar, get your fresh cracked black pepper, and get ready for a nice episode.

If you’ve been looking for what to do with your extra snakes I suggest getting your notebook and mechanical pencil ready before you start the episode. The last thing we’d want is for your good snakes to go to waste, you know what they say about snakes right? Use ‘em or lose ‘em, baby. We also discover our new favorite book series! Without giving away too much, let’s just say it involves a very special boy who discovers something extraordinary about himself. Relax, grab a few peppermint patties, and get ready for an episode of the podcast you listen to.

Those familiar with Men Like That will know that we’re quite the seafaring trio. We’re true lovers of the sea and all the mysteries she holds and when given the chance to discuss her beauty we find it difficult to hold back. Yes, when it comes to living by the ocean or living in some landlocked hell state in the middle of the country we can guarantee we’ll always choose the former. We hope this episode can keep you company on those lonely nights out at sea, when you’ve run out of shanties to sing and the whales have stopped their siren song. Lay down and let Men Like That guide you to your saltwater slumber.

Wow a lot of fun surprises in store for this episode. Well, I guess it’s just one surprise and I don’t know if you’d consider it fun. It is a surprise nonetheless though and it’s going to shake things up slightly. We don’t usually like to rock the boat too much, but maybe during these times we could all use a nice little surprise. Listen I just realized maybe some people don’t like surprises and this might be stressful for them. The last thing people need right now is more stress, so I’ll just say the surprise is a new segment. Some snake talk too, but it’s not scary snake talk. Hope you like what we’ve done.

Disclaimer: This episode of Men Like That is haunted. We wouldn’t feel okay with ourselves if we just didn’t tell you, our loyal viewers, that this episode is absolutely haunted by some sort of paranormal entity. This will not affect the episode in any way and we will still be slinging out some of the most mediocre and beautifully worded how-to advice you’ve ever heard. We here at Men Like That also believe these ghosts to be benevolent and will be taking them on as our new deities. Again, this will not affect this episode or future episodes, but we do believe in being honest with all of you. If you’re scared of ghosts this episode is fine to listen to, so don’t worry and enjoy.

We won’t say who it is here, but we have a very famous celebrity asking us a question this week. This is probably something we’ll have to get used to as our podcast grows and becomes more popular. Soon enough we’ll have people like Tom Cruise, Felicity Huffman, and the Baja Men knocking down our podcast doors asking for advice on how to do things. Can you imagine? The Baja Men asking us for advice? We should be the ones asking them questions! Questions like how did they manage to get two of their songs on Hit Clips? Well, guess you should order your favorite Happy Meal, lay down in your hammock and get ready for a star-studded episode.

What’s your favorite yoyo trick and how old were you when your legal guardian taught you how to do it? We love taking our yoyos around the world, we absolutely LOVE walking the dog, we 100 percent cannot get enough of doing the fun tricks. Another favorite old time game we love here is jacks. Jacks, also known as knucklebones or tails,,, is how we decide each week who’s allowed to be the funny one on the episode we’re about to record. A fun little game would be for you, our loyal viewers, to guess who won this week’s game of Jacks.

Did you know that the most famous skateboarding dog ever was named Tillman? Tillman was in the Guinness Book of World Records for being a fast skateboard dog. But that’s not the most important thing about Tillman, no the most important thing about Tillman was that his nickname was Pot Roast. Do dogs need nicknames? Couldn’t they have just named the dog Pot Roast? Maybe the dog earned the name Pot Roast? We’ll never find out, but maybe we can help you learn about a few other things on this episode. Grab your favorite juice, stay inside, and have a listen.

Quarantine can do crazy things to people. For example, we accidentally give some halfway decent advice on this episode. We’re not sure how it happened and we may have been in a fugue state while giving the advice, but it happens. Also, fair warning we get into some pretty tech-savvy/hacker jargon on this episode. What can we say? We’re a bunch of nerds who love nothing more than fiddling with computers, TVs, and the information highway known as Facebook. So get your favorite mainframe, stay inside, and get ready for another classic episode.

First things first, let’s get this all out of the way. STAY INSIDE. DO NOT BE DUMB. Here at Men Like That we are all about safety, especially the safety of our loyal listeners and most devoted fans. We love you almost as much as you love us. So be safe, stay inside, and listen to your favorite episodes of MLT. Okay secondly and we cannot stress this enough, if you ever try to troll us you will surely fail. We are the ones who troll. Look at us, look at our faces... we are the trolls. Enjoy this week’s episode and god bless.

Recording from home has given us an insight to the magic Hamburger Bank that resides in Brandon's room. Can you eat it? Can you put money on it? Can you do both? We will not be answering any of these questions. Instead we will talk bout how Australians order breakfast, take a trip on the Magic School Bus and have a chat with the founders of Harry's Razors. Be safe, wash your hands, stay home if possible and fire up the latest episode of MLT - it is time to (not) talk about the Hamburger bank.

It’s finally here. The episode where we get down and dirty and talk about slugs. That’s right, our most requested subject is finally being discussed. Sometimes when the three of us are walking down the street we’ll get stopped by a rabid MLT fan and they always ask the same thing: “where’s that juicy slug talk, boys?” But it’s not all slug talk on this episode. No no, we also get down to business. The business boys are back and ready to give you some hot tips to help you get that money you need to buy the things you crave. Strap in and listen up!

It’s a widely known fact that even though the Mona Lisa is a very dumb looking picture people think it’s beautiful art. Now the three of us are huge art connoisseurs and we would love nothing more than to get our dirty little hands on this famous picture of a lady we’ve never met. The Mona Lisa is the most heavily guarded old picture of a woman in the world, but we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves. Join us as we discuss an Ocean’s 8 style plot to steal art and maybe even answer some how-to questions along the way. 

This is a no holds barred how-to episode. We’re not playing games this time, we’re telling you how to do things and how to do them in a very strong fashion. The week we took off has only made us stronger, faster, smarter, and one of us is even better at jumping. You wanna know who’s better at jumping? Well then maybe you should velcro up your New Balances and turn on this episode and try to find out who amongst us is now the best jumper.

Take a big long sniff, what do you smell? Is that the smell of kissing in the air? It has to be because Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. But Valentine’s Day can be a tricky holiday and that’s why we’re here to help. How do you make the most out of what some may say is the first or second horniest holiday of the year? Well, you’re in luck because the three of us are love/kissing experts and as always we’re here to help. So put on your Patagonia jackets because we’re heading into these treacherous woods we call Love.

We feel strongly about a lot of things here at Men Like That and beans are no different. I won't give away any of our juicy, juicy bean opinions right here, you'll have to listen to get that information. However, I will say that a certain place across the pond might not be too excited to hear our bean opinions. But it isn't all bean talk on this episode. No, it may be hard to believe, but we also have some very hot takes about certain characters in the Sonic the Hedgehogverse. I should warn you though many of these Sonic takes are NSFW and I suggest listening to this episode in the privacy of your own home, with headphones on, while your children are at church. Slap on your sleepy hats and get to listening!

It’s all been leading up to this. One man’s quest for vengeance. This week Vin takes justice into his own hands. Will all his preparation lead him to victory? Will this battle give him the closure he so desperately needs? Will Joe and Brandon make any money betting on their co-host? And finally can a man punch a bus and walk away to tell the tale? Some of these questions will be answered today, but mostly we’ll be talking about other garbage and answering other questions. Postmates some Johnny Rockets and strap in… its going to be a bumpy ride.

Let's get right to it, we have some very special guests on this episode of MLT, but they aren't here for fun. No, we're bringing on some of the most famous old men who invented light bulbs and some elephants to get to the bottom of a very serious crime. When it comes to solving murders you don't go to the cops, you come on MLT. But things aren't all murder and gloom, this is MLT not Lincoln Rhyme: Hunt for the Bone Collector (NBC 2019)! Joe learns a new thing about cereal and the rest of us get to see the pure joy that sparks in someone when they get to learn a new, fun fact. So hold onto your loved ones, grab your weighted blanket and turn on the radio that plays podcasts because it's MLT time.

Close your eyes. Open your imagination. Now think... what would you do with all of the fame and power in the world? What would you do if you were given access to all the money this filthy planet had to offer? These are the things we here at MLT have to discuss now that we’re on a network. What do three young and somewhat healthy men do when they’re offered the world? Who’s bath water do they buy? Don’t worry, we’ll try to stay grounded and we’ll always be here to answer your questions, but we’ll be doing it while we wear a lot more jewels from now on. So sit back, relax, and find a nice blank room to sit in... you’re gonna need it after this episode.

On October 2, 1984 Papa John’s entered our lives. 35 years later we were introduced to The Witcher on Netflix. Some people will call this a coincidence and some people will say that these two things are in no way related. But let me ask you these questions: why are we discussing both of these things on today’s episode if they aren’t related? Furthermore how did we get some people from The Witcher-verse on our podcast? If you’re truly curious try listening to today’s episode. Don’t forget to toss a coin to your witcher and while you’re at it throw 50 pizzas at your Papa John.

The year is 2020. This is the first episode of MLT in the new decade and this time we’re doing it right. There’s only one thing for us to do to mark the beginning of a new decade and that’s choose a new mascot. That’s right, we’re finally getting a new mascot for the pod! Who will win? Will it be someone we know and love? Or a dark and mysterious newcomer? Listen and cast your vote (it won’t count)! Oh and uh… what’s your new year’s resolution? We’ll help with it!* (Editors Note: Vin will NOT be following the Tournament of Lies results.)

This is our last show of the year AND of the decade. Wow can you believe it? 10 whole years of MLT and they went by in a flash! A lot happened this past decade and we’re here to pick out some of our favorite moments. Did Jeremy Renner make the list? No, of course he didn’t! Did the time we all took a tour of the Kraft Macaroni and Cheese factory and didn’t tell anyone about it make the list? You’ll have to listen for yourself to find out! Oh, and don’t worry we have help through our trip through time from some very important guests. Onward towards 2020!

If Cats did only one thing right (they actually did a million) it was making me hornier than I’ve been at a movie since Chocolat! I give this sumptuous treat for the mind, eyes, and wiener 2 paws WAY up!” …I scribble in my journal. Every year here at MLT HQ we play a rousing game of White Elephant to celebrate the holiday season. This year we’ve invited friends to make it more exciting and because more friends means more gifts! We’ll be taking some questions about the holidays and even some about that fat man you all crave in December. So crack open a barrel of your favorite nog, download a Yule log, and pump up the volume. It’s the MLT Holiday Extravaganza (kinda).

We’re feeling strong, stronger than ever actually. Our minds are working overtime and we’re ready to help anyone and everyone with whatever they need. We are your collective fathers, we are here to show you how the world works and make sure no harm comes to you. Believe in us as we have always believed in you. We also want to keep you warm in the coming months now that there’s a chill in the air. That’s why we’re flying south where the air’s a little thicker, the sun’s a little warmer, and the fruit is just a little juicier. Let’s get our good boots on and go for a ride.

Ah, the holidays are upon us. Thanksgiving is a time for family and friends and Friends and Friends with Benefits starring Justin Timberlake. The holidays are a busy time though so sometimes it’s good to just sit back with your loved ones and remember the good times. Join as we reminisce about some of our favorite times together. Come with us down memory lane and let’s see what we can find. Remember when we weren’t aware of how bad a person Jeremy Renner actually was? Remember when Joe, Vin, and Brandon promised their niece they’d go to her sweet 16 the SAME night they had a date with the girl who works at Blockbuster? Sit back, relax, get some turkey and maybe we’ll remember your favorite MLT moment.

There’s nothing like sitting down for a big, juicy steak dinner after a hard day of doing business with the boys. You rocked the stocks all day, brought home the bacon, and even also brought home some other food to accompany the bacon because eating only bacon is barbaric — not to mention the carbon emissions that result from the production of bacon, as if that weren’t enough to dissuade you from continually bringing home an insulting amount of bacon on a daily basis. Your therapist and case-worker are watching you closely via the grocery store security system which the manager has allowed for as he has a son going through the same thing — it really hits home for him. You’ve been instructed to not eat or purchase bacon anymore, a cold-turkey (no pun intended) approach to reducing your footprint on Mother Gaia, as instructed by your case-worker. Your therapist is there because she’s morbidly fascinated by your affliction and, honestly, had nothing better to do. You’re in the freezer section. The store manager, your shrink, and your case-worker, Gerald, all watch with bated breath as you face your inner-most demon: cured pork. Will you grab a package of Oscar Meyer frozen bacon? Or, will you head for the Morning Star aisle and grab something more environmentally sustainable. This is the moment. You’re entire life has been building toward this singular life-decision. Can you exhibit the necessary willpower to save yourself, nature, and your eldest daughter (I didn’t mention any of this, but she’s being held hostage and the captor said he’ll free her if you stop eating bacon and pork products in general). What will it be? Twist ending: You collapse before you can make a decision because you’re also a disgusting cigarette smoker and all of those years of smoking have finally caught up with you. But the doctor’s performed miracle lung surgery by replacing your disgusting lungs with the lungs of the closest genetic species to our own: pigs. You now have bacon lungs. You smirk and reel in your hospital bed at the hubris of it all. Then, as if God wanted to show you his sense of humor, the nurse wheels in your breakfast. A big ol’ pile of eggs and, that’s right folks, bacon. The case-worker, your therapist, and the grocery store manager all watch on the hospital security cameras as you stand on the precipice of the most important decision of your life. What’ll it be? Listen to our show to find out.

First of all, we would like to sincerely apologize for the crudeness of this title. Creating art is never easy, rarely a cake walk, and never easy. Throughout the many trials and tribulations of the art making process line, Butt cheeks, anywhere from one to three, will appear. Some people are offended by them. But, art, will never stand in the way of the unoffended. Because saying Butt is not even that big a deal anymore in almost 2020. Brandon pitched a show about butts and we didn’t have any better ideas so that is this episode. There are also secret agents, plumbers, janitors and a Jeff Bezos moon tower that is perfect for taking out peasants. Buckle up, MLT 14 is coming at you with all three cheeks.

Ah, Autumn. The foliage is in the air, the pumpkins (not Halloween ones) are in the air, apples are in the air. And to be clear, there are no specific holidays in the air. This is not Halloween, Dia de Los Muertos, Thanksgiving or National Calzone Day. This is just A u t u m n. What better way to celebrate Autumn than with an Autumn podcast? Oh, you don’t have an Autumn podcast? You do now! Put your headphones on and crack open a pumpkin, but not a Halloween pumpkin, it is time to embrace one’s inner foliage. The Men Like That are here to foliage every single leaf you got.

When you wrap up a fat one and plop down on the plaid sofa with your boys, one thing comes to mind instantly: Ghosts: those scary, translucent dead guys! But, when you’re afraid of something, you know who to call: Asher Roth: the guy that loves college as much as ghosts love scaring people. In 2019, Asher Roth’s tour manager sat down Asher and told him it was time to commit to his favorite dress-up holiday: Halloween: All Hallow’s Eve. Fortunately for podcast fans, it’s also the Men Like That’s favorite dress-up holiday. Podcast fans, better known as smart phone owners who are bored, have loved Men Like That’s take on “Halloween” for two millennia and change, that’s why this year we wanted to crank things up to ghost-eleven. Grab your candy and your AirPod Pro’s (affiliate link): it’s time for the spookiest Men Like That, ever: this episode.

A pizza isn’t a pizza until you top it fresh with mootsadell and basil. Similarly, porridge isn’t porridge until someone refers to it as “oatmeal” so that you can tell them how incorrect they are. Nothing says “intelligence” like flexing your grammar muscle which is why today’s episode is brought to you by Miriam AND Webster (yes, both of them — they both agreed to this). Miriam and Webster told us to tell you, loyal listnership of Men Like That, that it is not okay to screw around with the English Language. If you or a loved one are affected by poor grammar, please call Miriam’s personal cellular phone, the number to which is provided during today’s program. Absolutely no one was injured during the making of this podcast, but we were considering eating bear meat just to sort-of have an enriching life experience. Vin said he wouldn’t do it though which is kind of lame. I guess that’s why he’s considered the “dumb” one on the show.

You awaken from a coma to see your lovely partner and friends handing you a brand new guitar. That should inject some life into your struggling music career. To show your appreciation for the generous gift, you play the greatest song ever written, Alive by P.O.D. But wait. Your friends have never heard this song before. Do they not understand what real music is? You quickly play a beautiful acoustic rendition of Boom by P.O.D. Wow, still nothing. Are they uncultured? Oh no. You realize the answer is far worse. You have woken up in a world where P.O.D. never existed. The Men Like That are here to help you podcast your way through this strange, desolate universe. Also there is something about Tobey Maguire throwing stink bombs at girls.

Over here at Men Like That we pride ourselves on having our fingers on the pulse of America. We know what sweets all our lil sweeties in the USA want to hear about and we know what Hurt Locker star turned music man you want to tap your feet to. That’s why this week we’ll be taking toy boats to the lake to really have a good time. The kind that have sails but they are little sails so there is also a battery powered propeller just in case. Anyway, enough toy boat talk. It is time to get down to business because your favorite Hurt Locker star turned music man is in the news again, or maybe that is Joe’s personal search history influencing our news. Either way, this episode is about movies and music — and the only man on Earth who can do both.

Video games. They have been a cultural touchstone ever since Christopher Columbus murdered all those people then invented video games. Ole Chris loved the games so much, he named his boats, the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria, after the earliest known flavors of Mountain Dew Amp Game Fuel. Enough history lessons, time for a real lesson. We are going to pound true gamer drinks, beg Obama to bring F.E.A.R to Xbox One, play a little Family Fued and maybe even meet a certain celebrity TV family. It is MLT time, the gaming episode.

Hi I’m Brandon and I’m going to write a blurb now. It’s September 2019 and it’s arguably the best season for apples in decades. Red Delicious and Fuji are having the comeback of a lifetime and Granny Smith is finding new ways to insert herself into pies. Apple has also unveiled their newest product and Men Like That were there to witness everything at an exclusive event.Stupid phones, Apple’s head honchos, and a famous director… we saw it all and we got to do it from the comfort of a box.If you’re a tech nerd you won’t want to miss this. Let me know if it’s a pile of garbage or you want something changed.

Summer is over and that means Men Like That is back to having good blurbs again. It also means school is about to kick into starting gear, which means kids are gone all day and parents have way more time to kiss. But kids need binders and their parents are too busy kissing to determine which of the nine best binders in the world are the best fit for their child. Fear not kids, fear not parents, the Men Like That are hear (Editors Note: Joe please let Vinkeep that hear/here joke)to help find the best binders. We also PLAY A GAME.
