Episode #78: Hold My Banana(grams)

therealshaunmalley@gmail.com (Gung Horse) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 03:40:00 +0000

Down in quality, eh? EH?!?!? This week's episode proves that this sentiment is dead wrong (right). With some discussion about "The Welfare Scrabble", a fight breaking out between Two Sheds and Hiptoss over Lana Del Rey's SNL "performance", and Smitty receiving a special correspondence from a certain newly-minted dictator, the Gung Horsemen are back on top...of the bottom.

The Gung Horse Podcast: Episode 77 - It Really Has Declined in Quality

therealshaunmalley@gmail.com (Gung Horse) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 06:51:00 +0000

The pyramids of Egypt. The Burj Dubai. The Chunnel. Few would argue that the human race is capable of producing great things with a little ingenuity, and a lot of hard work. Hos, we here at Gung Horse have been hard at work for the past two years to prove that notion.

January 5, 2010 was when the first edition of the Gung Horse podcast was released, though we prefer the term unleashed. And it's been nothing but pure gold ever since. Oh and we will go on, ladies and gentlemen and hermaphros; we're in it to win it! 2 YEARS w00t!!!!

Pictured: 2 years of win.

This 77th episode/2 year anniversary spectacular sees Two Sheds fixing a door, Smitty imitating Bill Crosby [sic] and Hiptoss sends a message which falls on deaf ears.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this latest edition of Guntline, a series of documentaries about, y'know, serious stuff. And whatnot. This edition sees our ace reporters pull back the veil on the opaque world of unions. Brace yourselves, it will change your life.

Pictured: Hiptoss changing your life.

I'm serious! 3 guys kvetching about their shit is gonna do that to you! Smitty's still reeling from a smack on the nose from a b-movie actor, Hiptoss marches day and night by the big cooling tower, and Two Sheds is NOT in it forrrr ze maaaaney.

The Gung Horse Podcast: Episode 68 - Epic Cackle of Epicness

therealshaunmalley@gmail.com (Gung Horse) — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 04:00:00 +0000

Shit gets real here, Hos. We record this episode amidst the backdrop of much high drama.

In other words, Two Sheds is high as a kite, everyone! Goofballs!!!

This week, Smitty gets uncomfortably close to being sincere, Two Sheds goes to bat for the silver-haired fox, and Hiptoss takes stock after being peeled like a carrot.

Also please give it up for our special guest: Anderson Cooper (kind of; when it happens you'll know). And please note that homophobia is wrong and evil. And for legal purposes, any connection implied between the two preceding sentences is entirely coincidental.

We're back, picking up the slack, and that's a fact Jack! Gung Horse indahouse and not a moment too soon!

This week sees us duke it out verbally over the fate of journalism, Smitty's chronic tardiness and the utter crap that is a Gary Kurtz-free Star Wars movie. Two Sheds is blonder and more Torontotastic, Smitty states the obvious and Hiptoss stabs you in the brain with a pun that's way heavy on the coriander and garam masala.

This week, Hiptoss is joined by his gracious hosts Mowk and Chesty LaRue (yes, even US citizens need pseudonyms to hide their guilt). Two Sheds and Smitty were crotched due to being nicked by DHS for muling, but brave Hiptoss soldiered on.

Um... well. Seems Camping was wrong. Again. I feel so dejected; from now on I'm gonna believe in something sensible, like Mormonism!

Eventful as ever this week. So it seems that Smitty X is on the way out, and we've found the perfect replacement. Hiptoss is preoccupied with WHAT ELSE??? And of course, there's 2 Sheds. He's been man-tribbed. By.... oh me oh my, you'll just have to listen to find out!
