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.

It’s the end of the year review, but with a twist. Jay is subjected to a Geek Quiz to see if he cuts the mustard with his geek cred after multiple years of soaking in knowledge from Art and Robbie.

Will he pass and enjoy a lunch from Robbie and an extension of his co-host contract? Or is his future in jeopardy? (Can a guy of a certain age even be expected to remember things?) Take the quiz yourself along the way to see how you rate as a long time listener (or a future listener!)

Meanwhile, Jay and Robbie lead off with Geeks of the Week, including a new (and stranger) thing premiere/finale that Netflix is doing, an interesting update to Mad Men streaming, and a rumor about a Marvel actress making the leap to DC. You heard it here next!

YouTubeTV and Disney have reached an understanding so the Guys no longer have to jump through hoops to watch sports, but what are they watching when their favorite teams aren't playing?

This week Robbie and Art give an update on what shows (or "content" as the cool kids call it) are currently taking up their time. Some of the offerings include a historical drama, a sci-fi offering and a spy family sequel, and a series on cabin life on YouTube. We also mention a favorite way to "Ring" in the holidays with a couple of favorite movie franchises.

It’s beginning to sound a lot like Christmas. And when, exactly, is it okay to start listening to Tiny Tim’s playlist of Tinsel Tunes?

Robbie and Jay tackle the tough issue of timing: can you listen to Jingle Bells prior to Thanksgiving? Or will Grandma get run over by a reindeer if you get ahead of the game? Then, once it is allowable to listen, what style is preferred? Jay promotes his subscription music service and Robbie runs through the seemingly endless list of Christmas music channels on SiriusXM.

Art was out enjoying a potluck (did he get the better end of the deal?), but the remaining Guys had Geeks of the Week, of course. Jay is grateful he got his personalized Funko Pop figure before the company goes out of business, and will probably have to rely on eBay to complete his collections. R

obbie takes listeners through the trials and troubles of the Walking Dead lawsuits (can zombies sue?), and shares news of yet another potential streaming service takeover that could shake up the whole game. Listen and sing along: this one is Holly Jolly.

It’s here, it’s finally here! That’s right, this episode marks the return of the JRSU, aka Jay’s Regrettable Segment Universe.

With the completion a few months back of the sometimes mostly weekly-ish segment highlighting the characters in the Jon Morris book, The League of Regrettable Superheroes, listeners were left to wonder, “What will happen next? Will Jay ever get to speak again?” Well, wonder no more. Robbie discovered that Mr. Morris was something of a prolific super-profiler with multiple books of similar ilk. And he bought them all.

Enough regrettable supervillains, sidekicks, and heroes to keep the JRSU alive and well until at least the 2030’s. And for three Guys from the 1900’s, being that busy for that long will be a true accomplishment.

Listen as they kick off the Legion of Regrettable Supervillains with a bit of history and a three-villain profile. Four if you count the mute mummified ape…and we’re not talking about Jay.

This episode is so full of podcast excellence it’s hard to put into words. But there are a lot of words in the episode itself.

Thanksgiving is coming, so there is talk of turkey and fun things to do with dressing on the day after. There are multiple Geeks of the Week from all the Guys, including the most amazing (or terrible) Oreos ever to be invented and on the way to Jay’s house, a multitude of non-human and particularly Trekkie obituaries of a sort from Art, and advice from Robbie about even more shows he’s somehow watching despite having at least half a dozen jobs.

After the break, they revisit the polite discussions YouTubeTV is having with Disney that are keeping The Guys from watching SEC football on what was their live TV streamer of choice. Even that sentence had a lot of words.

This episode is sure to send the listener to The Dreaming, but not for the usual reasons. Art is out taking a nap, which is appropriate, as Jay and Robbie discuss Season 2 of The Sandman, Neil Gaiman’s Netflix exposition of his award-winning comic. Sadly, Season 2 may be the final season. The video version was faithful to the comics, the story was compelling, the visuals were fantastic, and the characters (as well as the actors who played them) were fascinating. If ever a show went out on top, this is the one. No sleeping here, but definitely dreaming that more seasons might show up later. In this week’s Geeks, Jay takes us on a journey to Notting Hill for lunch and a stroll in a bookstore it would be hard for him to leave. (It’s not a travel bookstore, by the way - he’s just a boy, standing in front of a cook, asking her to feed him.) Robbie talks of exits: Dr. Who from Disney, Sheridan from Paramount, and Disney (along with hopes of watching college football on ESPN over the weekend) from YouTubeTV. It’s a big show - don’t sleep through it.
