LISTEN

The OGs start 2025 by discussing the work of the late, great David Lynch and his lasting impact on the world and their lives. They go dreamy. They also discuss ancient Viking plastic surgeons and pitch their new sitcom with Werner Herzog and David Lynch ordering McDonald's drive-thru. COOP! I'm out of here!

OLD GUYS WHO LOVE THINGS #143: LOVE OVERLOAD

After recording an entire new episode months ago and having to push it into the "Lost Episode" category because of world events, The OGs simply want to hang out and chat about life. Listen in as they talk about movies, how they spent their summer, Nicholas Cage, the calm and peaceful state of the world, and have a cocktail.

Episode 142: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

oldguyswholovethings@gmail.com (Shawn Dooley and Eric Peter Schwartz) — Thu, 2 May 2024 00:18:00 -0500

LISTEN

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 pee, 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.

Episode 141: Animal Stories

oldguyswholovethings@gmail.com (Shawn Dooley and Eric Peter Schwartz) — Thu, 29 Feb 2024 07:52:00 -0600

LISTEN

For a brief, shining moment in the late 70's and early 80's, in Chicago, two guys made most 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.

LISTEN

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!

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.

LISTEN

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.

LISTEN

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?

LISTEN

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 ****

LISTEN

For some it was a disappointingly lousy movie from the 1980s... for others, it is a journey that began in the early 70s and extends to today's biggest Marvel blockbusters. Today the OGs are talking about that cigar-chomping, wise-quacking feather-bearing waterfowl... Howard the Duck. Maligned. Misunderstood. Also... duck junk. Racist cartoon gloves. Yolk talk. Eric ruins everything. QUACK!!!

LISTEN

New Year, old guys. The OGs recently went to see the new experimental (and divisive) horror movie, SKINAMARINK. It blew their minds and they want to talk about it. Not every movie is for everyone. Also, Chefs are terrible, Virgin Nana and TikTok of the ancients. Look under the bed.

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.

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 twinkie 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.

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.

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.

Easily one of the coolest looking Marvel characters... a flaming skeleton decked out in all leather, riding a motorcycle made of hellfire. That's Ghost Rider, the object of the OG's affection this week. From comics to action figures to a couple of movies of quetionable merit, the OGs have always been in Ghost Rider's corner as he deals out Satan's swift justice on Earth. Also, what do you like on your hot dog? Lotsa Nick Cage and... TARDIGRADES!! Hop on our flaming choppers and strap in!
