Description

Hot diggity dog, we have another new episode of Here's a Guy for you. Isn't that just a bit of terrific? I'm not sure what bit I'm doing here. Maybe an enthusiastic 1950s guy? Like a guy inviting you to a sock hop? I don't know man. I write these things every week and the creative process is just rambling. Not once have I ever started writing an episode description knowing how it was going to conclude. I don't have time for that crap. I'm busy. But not too busy to entertain you fine folks! See, I brought it back home. This week, we discuss an excellent opening topic about pop culture, storytelling, and mythology suggested to us by listener Jeremy. Then, we have stories of an elite Greek athlete whose clowning of his competition didn't end after his death, a crooked Southern mayor so stupid it led to the downfall of himself and a powerful crime syndicate, and a gangster who spent more time crafting his reputation than actually being good at what he did.
