Before this episode gets too regrettable—even villainous—The Guys bring news from the world of geekdom.

Art joins Jay's travel planning service and suggests a Disney-Star Trek (you read that right: Trek, not Wars) mashup show somewhere in Seattle. Robbie asks Siri about her underlying software and, after a virtual slap, she confesses that she's now Googling it. Jay reveals the source of the face behind Yoda and discovers a makeup artist who might just have the highest Geek Index yet. But go away, you should not.

After a brief respite, Jay is back with a Regrettable Roundup of Supervillains you've probably never heard of and will likely soon forget: Bloor, Brickbat, and Colossus. Oh my. Watch out for sketchy want ads, flying gaseous bricks, and Plantaliens.

With the announcement of Apple TV’s recent agreement to make movies and TV (and probably some money) based on Brandon Sanderson’s prolific fantasy books, the attention of The Guys turns to the only streaming service that tastes good ala mode.

Whilst they wait for the Mistborn movie to arrive, there is plenty more to watch that is already beloved. Ted Lasso is coming back, For All Mankind returns, and some of us haven’t even watched Pluribus yet. Apple TV seems the place to be for geeks, with or without the Plus.

In Geeks of the Week, Jay - who declared himself “Lord of the Guys” - tells of a classic coming to the BBC but isn’t sure how to watch it from the USA. Robbie catches everyone up on the 2025 list of movies the Library of Congress thinks they should watch. And Art shares news of the passing of comics artist Sal Buscema. Grab a piece of hot apple pie and listen.

No toys were harmed in the making of this episode, but the feet of many fathers worldwide have been temporarily damaged in the night due to the toys discussed. Its time to talk Legos.

With the introduction of Lego’s new Smart Brick play system, it seemed a good time to bring in someone with a literal trunk full of Legos and who also happens to work with children, repeat guest Jacob, son of Jay. The last episode he joined was all about board games…anyone see a pattern here? With Art doing day job things in another studio or office or meeting room, Jacob joins Robbie and Jay to talk all things Lego: the new system, the company’s long history, and favorite sets of the past.

Before Jacob dialed in, Robbie and Jay took a look at some new shows streaming and on the horizon, including the Knight of the 7 Kingdoms and it’s audacious premiere numbers, and an animated series re-animating the being formerly known as Darth Maul. Watch your step with this episode, there are bricks everywhere.

It should come as no surprise to listeners that The Guys like to eat. But in this episode they go beyond talking about eating, and actually munch on the air. It’s the first “live” Guys of a Certain Age taste test!

Thanks to Santa Coblentz, Robbie brought a box of Krispy Kreme donut-flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans to try. And thanks to Jay’s obsession with all things Oreo, The Guys experience a throwback of sorts to Oreo’s Thanksgiving Dinner-Inspired flavor set. At least one flavor they definitely wanted to throw back.

But before they began their on-air culinary experience, they did lead off with some Geeks of the Week. Guess who’s back? Lara Croft, but this time in a series. Stan Sebastian is also back - or he might be - but this time as a DC character. And for those who want to go back to the Mos Eisley Cantina, Nashville may have your answer. Listen hungry!

(Technology is great until it is corrupted, which is what happened to the original file of perhaps the greatest GOCA episode in history. The Guys had to reach back into their memory banks - a real stretch - to recreate this moment in history. Success? Probably not, but please listen anyway.)

2025 closed with a sad note for movie lovers with the loss of Rob Reiner, and for early sci-fi TV fans with Gil Gerard’s last ride into the stars. (On the bright side, Dick Van Dyke is 100 years old and having a Jolly Holiday.) But before The Guys go into their Rob Reiner Retrospective, they lead off with a Geek of the Week or three. Jay shares a Florida Man headline, but this time it’s Legos. Art brings the obits, with commentary on the loss of Buck. And Robbie is looking forward to his new computer as early as 1982.

Rob Reiner’s passing was certainly a tragedy, but The Guys celebrate his career as actor, director and producer with a chat about their favorite Reiner films (there is definite overlap). As it turns out, they CAN handle the truth. No meat-heads in this bunch. That would be inconceivable.

Art joins Robbie in the studio for the first podcast recorded in 2026!

Hopeful news starts our Geeks of the Week: Evangeline Lilly announces plans for improvement following a fall that left her with brain damage. Billy Joel appeared with a tribute band in Florida after his brain disorder caused him to cancel shows. Wishing both continued healing.

In a quick episode recorded in the limbo days between Christmas and New Year's Day, Robbie and Art share a couple of quick geeks and discuss some of the gifts that Guys of a Certain Age appreciate.

If ever there was a power-packed year-in-review podcast episode, this is bound to be one of them. Robbie so enjoyed quizzing Jay last week that Art gets the full treatment. Jay passed with limping colors and expectations are high for Art.

Jay celebrates college football bowl season with a special turkey leg, all the Guys are scouring their Star Wars poster collection to see if they have anything worth 3.8 million, and the original original (maybe) Star Wars movie is coming back to the big screen.

And if that weren’t enough excitement, The Guys share their favorite podcasts (aside from this one), books, movies and TV/streaming series from 2025. It’s time to buckle up and binge watch, listen and read.
