The holiday season is upon us, and we at Here's a Guy are getting into the spirit with an eventful episode. Sorry I couldn't come up with a better play on words than that, I'm pretty tired. Probably the tryptophan from all the turkey I ate last week, right? Not a very timely gag. Also, I'm not sure if that's even true. Everyone shares their little smartypants studies now about how the tryptophan thing isn't why you get tired after Thanksgiving dinner, it's just because you ate a ton of food. But I was under the impression that was kinda the joke? Like, you gorge yourself then you're claiming some obscure scientific fact for why you feel tired after? Was that not people doing a bit the whole time? Who knows anymore. The actual reason I'm tired in this instance is that it's really late. I'm actually typing this up while in bed, which is why I keep having to delete typos. I think I need to wash my sheets tomorrow too, but that's a separate matter. We start this episode off with another great email prompt from a listener, plus a review of our Spotify Wrappeds. Then, three fabulous tales of guys, from an old English guy who went nuts and did a bunch of wacky stuff before becoming a martyr, a failed baseball player turned pro wrestler and his KISS-related misfortune, and the many inexplicable hijinks of stock broker/author/chess enthusiast/sex activist/convicted felon/serial political candidate Sam Sloan.
