Men Like That

Are you a big fan of rockin’ or do you prefer rollin’? Either way we have you covered on this episode. We’re going to be talking about everyone’s favorite stringy music maker, the sweet guitar, and the people that can make magic with those babies.

Music isn’t the only art form discussed though! We’re also dipping our toes into the art of fine cinema. More specifically we’ll be talking about the hottest film of 2001, that’s right we’re talking K-Pax. K-Pax didn’t understand how to eat a banana and we love that. Grab your favorite yellow fruit and a beanbag chair, this new episode is pretty nice!

We hope you're excited for a lot of Flintstones talk because we've got that modern stone age family on the brain. There's nothing we love more than really digging into some Flintstones science and trying to figure out how that beautiful family of freaks lived.

What is your favorite live-action Flintstones film? Is it the first one with Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble? OR is it the second one where they go to Rock Vegas and Stephen Baldwin plays Barney Rubble? There is only one correct answer, and if this helps, only one of them has Alan Cumming playing one of the greatest Flintstones characters. The character I'm obviously talking about is the Great Gazoo, the alien that only Fred and Barney can see that calls them "dumb dumbs." So grab your favorite slab of old dinosaur meat and listen to a nice new episode.

We know we’re a little late, but in honor of Father’s Day we’ve got some good dad talk in this episode. We like to pride ourselves here in knowing what dad’s love. Dads love Gone in 60 Seconds and it just so happens this month marks the 20th anniversary of the theatrical release of that dad-pleaser.

Nothing gets a dad’s gears going like watching Nicolas Cage go fast, oh boy. Just thinking about how happy all of those cars make our dads brings a big tear to our eyes. So grab your dad and maybe listen to this episode with him and in the immortal words of Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds: “you better not leave me alone with a cool red car because it will be gone in 60 seconds.”

Did you know that as of the week of this release Best Buy’s Geek Squad is 26 years old? It feels like only yesterday those goofballs were helping us fix our dad’s chunky PCs because we kept trying to mod the copies of Leisure Suit Larry we weren’t supposed to have in the first place! But Geek Squad was there for us, they got rid of the viruses and most importantly they didn’t tell our dads about Larry.

It might be hard to find the right way to say thank you for all the Geeks have done for us, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try. Hopefully we’ll be able to help you out with that and maybe, just maybe, we can finally give something back to those lovable Geeks.

Here at MLT headquarters we wear many hats and this episode is no different. We’re wearing our dragon historian hats, our pasta hats, and most importantly our bodybuilder hats. It may not be obvious, but we’re very into fitness around here. We love to truly bulk up, we absolutely adore getting disgustingly swole, and to us there’s nothing better than sharpening our beautiful six-pack abs.

If you’re looking for muscle tips, we’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for home DIY tips, we’ve got you covered. If you’re looking for candle making tips, we don’t cover that on this episode. Grab your favorite protein bar, get your fresh cracked black pepper, and get ready for a nice episode.

If you’ve been looking for what to do with your extra snakes I suggest getting your notebook and mechanical pencil ready before you start the episode. The last thing we’d want is for your good snakes to go to waste, you know what they say about snakes right? Use ‘em or lose ‘em, baby.

We also discover our new favorite book series! Without giving away too much, let’s just say it involves a very special boy who discovers something extraordinary about himself. Relax, grab a few peppermint patties, and get ready for an episode of the podcast you listen to.

Those familiar with Men Like That will know that we’re quite the seafaring trio. We’re true lovers of the sea and all the mysteries she holds and when given the chance to discuss her beauty we find it difficult to hold back. Yes, when it comes to living by the ocean or living in some landlocked hell state in the middle of the country we can guarantee we’ll always choose the former.

We hope this episode can keep you company on those lonely nights out at sea, when you’ve run out of shanties to sing and the whales have stopped their siren song. Lay down and let Men Like That guide you to your saltwater slumber.

Wow a lot of fun surprises in store for this episode. Well, I guess it’s just one surprise and I don’t know if you’d consider it fun. It is a surprise nonetheless though and it’s going to shake things up slightly. We don’t usually like to rock the boat too much, but maybe during these times we could all use a nice little surprise.

Listen I just realized maybe some people don’t like surprises and this might be stressful for them. The last thing people need right now is more stress, so I’ll just say the surprise is a new segment. Some snake talk too, but it’s not scary snake talk. Hope you like what we’ve done.

Disclaimer: This episode of Men Like That is haunted. We wouldn’t feel okay with ourselves if we just didn’t tell you, our loyal viewers, that this episode is absolutely haunted by some sort of paranormal entity. This will not affect the episode in any way and we will still be slinging out some of the most mediocre and beautifully worded how-to advice you’ve ever heard.

We here at Men Like That also believe these ghosts to be benevolent and will be taking them on as our new deities. Again, this will not affect this episode or future episodes, but we do believe in being honest with all of you. If you’re scared of ghosts this episode is fine to listen to, so don’t worry and enjoy.
