This F***ing Guy!

Welcome back, dear listeners? Here's an age-old question: what's in a name? Specifically, a name that's become a widespread meme, symbolizing botched bobs, speaking to management, and an entitled attitude. On this episode, Ren explores the evolution of the 'Karen,' the meme's possible origins, its current iterations, and the various characteristics that make a Karen a Karen. Middle-aged? Usually. Female? Typically. White? Almost always. What's in a name? Well, my dears, let's find out. Citations at this fnguypod.com. 

Note: at the time of this recording, no arrests had been made for the murder of George Floyd.

Welcome back, bright-eyed ingenues! On this episode, we're heading straight to Tinseltown,  where everyone's dreams come true, particularly one man's dream to ruin everyone else's good time. Ginger gives an Oscar-award winning performance as she tells us about Will Hays, former chairman of the Republic National Convention, eventual president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, and forever known as the Movie Morals Czar. His reign included wagging his finger, ruining careers, and hating everything fun. We're talking censorship, we're talking miscegenation, we're talking homophobia; it's all here, folks! Grab your popcorn and join in! Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

Welcome back, dear listeners! On this most auspicious day, the day that Hulu releases its brand new series 'The Great,' we figured we would give you the lowdown on one of its primary figures. No, not Catherine the Great, but her husband, Peter the Mediocre At Best. Ginger takes us on a journey through Little Carl's terrible childhood, to his switcheroo princedom, all the way to his (186) days as Emperor of Russia, and, on the way, we'll take side roads through Harry Potter references, the optics of bestiality, and why even rich people with sh*tty childhoods still deserve to be eaten.

Welcome back, dear listeners! Spring is here, Ren and Ginger are still figuring out their sound equipment, and did you hear about this "pandemic" thing going on? On this episode, Ren reminds Ginger that things can always be worse, because, even in the midst of a pandemic, people are entitled assholes about not being able to go to their local Applebee's to drink cheap beer and yell at the waitstaff. These anti-quarantine protests are loud, proud, and full of shadowy financial origins and conservative grifters? Social distancing is communism, y'all! Listen and love us!

Welcome back, dear listeners! Ren and Ginger continue to take on the technical challenges that plague this hellscape we are all trapped in. In the meantime, do you know what Adolf Hitler and Bugs Bunny have in common? If your answer was an opera composer who couldn't keep it in his pants and hated Jewish people, then you know your musical history! Richard Wagner may be riding in on some Valkyries, but that's probably because he's trying to escape his many debt collectors. Or the husbands of all the women he f***ed. And, there were a lot of them. Either way, listen and love us! Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

Welcome back, dear listeners! This week, Ginger takes us on the wildest f***ing ride down to the sunny shores of Florida, where a not-quite-dead Anita Bryant first started her anti-gay crusade. If you haven't heard of Anita Bryant, that's fine, just know that she's into God, orange juice, and ruining people's lives. Oh, and she sang sometimes. Also, Ren announces her first quest in this brave, post-apocalyptic world. Come, little orange birds, listen and love us! Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

Welcome back, dear listeners. Ren and Ginger return for Part 2 of our Michael Bloomberg episode, because we love you so much. On this episode, we dive into his tenure as mayor, starting with his spending many millions on his campaigns, public housing full of lead-based paint, the unconstitutional surveillance of Muslims, and trying use cruise ships to deal with the city's homelessness problem. We are all in self-quarantine anyway, so there's plenty of podcast to listen to! Stay safe! Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

Welcome back, dear listeners! In our very first two-parter here at This F***ing Guy!, Ren explains to Ginger why Michael Bloomberg, former Democratic presidential candidate, is the literal worst. We explore Mike's humble beginnings before launching a golden parachute into a corporate environment where short skirts were "necessary" for promotions, pregnant women lost job opportunities, and coworker body shots were encouraged. And, all of this before Mike became Mayor! Listeners, we are very tired. Come join us in our exhaustion. (Jammies not included). Citations at thisfnguypod.com.

Welcome back, dear listeners. Sorry for the delay; did you know that they don't teach you audio editing in undergraduate social science programs? No matter! On this week's episode, Ren discusses how difficult it is to talk about someone's legacy, especially when that someone is Rush Limbaugh. Virulent racist, gross-ass homophobe, and writer of children's books (featuring a talking horse named Liberty, which is as terrifying as it sounds), Ginger gets schooled on some of Rush's greatest lessons, such as the proper usage of the word "feminazi," how to get fired from almost every job, and why Europe is vastly inferior to the US (hint: it has something to do with interior plumbing). Also, we have the (brief) return of Beans! Citations at thisfnguypod.com.
