The Guys From {PODCAST}: Recent Episodes
The Guys From {BLANK}
The Creator (Shaun Cordingley) and one of the Developers (David R. Smith) of the comedy program {BLANK} sit down and talk about everything, nothing and all the {BLANK} in between. Their conversations are done in a single take with minimal editing, allowing their often absurd topics of conversation the freedom to go every-which-way.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) discuss fictional American Presidents for Arthur, who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. What actually gets discussed...does involve fictional American Presidents, like Thomas J. Whitmore from Independence Day, President Beck from Deep Impact and what have you, but the guys do take quite a meander away from the topic, covering things like what kind of actor William H. Macy is, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: Turtles in Time, and obviously, the "board game" Mousetrap.
Special thanks to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our Opening music, and to The Left Behinds (www.theleftbehinds.ca, theleftbehinds.bandcamp.com) for their song "Streetlight Owl" to take us out.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) continue their conversation about video games for Nick, who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com.
This time around, they spend a lot of time discussing sports games, like MLB The Show and the NHL Series, Shaun's desires for the future of Be a GM modes, and then suddenly talk about Rock Band 4 and Guitar Hero Live for a while, including going over parts of the confirmed song lists...and then they talk a little bit about Doom and... Thank you to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and for "Prairie Blues" taking us out this week.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn), in honor of E3 2015, discuss their ideal video games for Nick, who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com.
What follows is a discussion about their mutual excitement for Star Wars Battlefront (which you can read more about if you like, and watch some trailers), a conversation about microtransactions (and how they affect their gaming), Dave's fondness for the idea of a WW2 dogfighting game, the announcement of Fallout 4, and obviously, Turner and Hooch. Truth be told, they probably didn't answer Nick's question...yet...

Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidonn) discuss what they think should (and shouldn't, in some cases) come back from the past for Alex who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. What follows is a discussion which is largely about Shaun wanting people to come visit him and bring ice and/or clean shirts, Dave okaying the concept of seasons, and the return of dinosaurs, in honor of the release of Jurassic World today.
A big thank you to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and to The Left Behinds (www.theleftbehinds.ca, leftbehinds.bandcamp.com) for their song "Streetlight Owl" to take us out.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) sit down and have a discussion about Westerns for Sam who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com, wanting a follow up to Dave's solo {PODCAST} from back in December 2014. Rather than do another set of Top 10's, the Guys talk about Westerns generally, and then play a couple of games where Dave tries to guess what people on IMDb think about Westerns and Adam Sandler.
Thank you to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and for "Prairie Blues" (appropriately) taking us out this week.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) discuss the waves of 1920s and 1960s nostalgia that entered pop culture thanks to Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men for Kristen, who continued the trend of spurning Dave, and talked to Shaun.
What follows is a conversation about fashion (because as they have proven so far, Shaun and Dave are totally fashion hounds), historical consciousness, ties, and how Dave's mom dressed him...
Thank you to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music and to Diatessaron (www.diatessaronband.com, diatessaron.bandcamp.com) for "Kitestrings" to take us out.

Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) discuss camping for Mitch who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. What follows is a conversation about camping, what the heck glamping is, ranmping, what their ideal camping site is like, Dave's trip to Wyoming...and for some reason, high school gym class.
Thanks to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and to the left behinds (www.theleftbehinds.ca) for "Streetlight Owl" to take us out this week.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) sit down and have a discussion about The Big Lebowski because Dave has always wanted to. Like, since the beginning of the {PODCAST} wanted to, and Shaun finally saw it from start to finish in one sitting. That said, we still want you to submit us new topics for upcoming episodes either to the twitter above, or to theguysfromblank@gmail.com.
What happens in the conversation is a wandering conversation about the movie, including some fun trivia about The Big Lebowski, as well as a fairly long aside about the state of movie houses, and what the guys want to see from them in the future...but most of the podcast is about The Dude Abiding.
Thank you to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and for "Prairie Blues" to take us out this week.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) sit down and discuss breakfast cereals for Tony who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. What follows is a discussion of what cereals they enjoy now, the Canadian Food Safety council, Sunny-D and some horrifyingly sugar-coma inducing cereals that never made their way up here (and we're glad)
Special thanks to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and to DIatessaron (diatessaronband.com, diatessaron.bandcamp.com) for "Kitestrings" to bring us back around.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) put together a rough outline of what their Top 10 21st Century films are, in response to Liam who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. What follows is a list where the guys try their best to talk about films they haven't talked about before, and only fail a few times (and in one case, spectacularly), including Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, High Fidelity and Kill Bill.
Thanks again to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and to The Left Behinds (www.theleftbehinds.ca, theleftbehinds.bandcamp.com) for "Streetlight Owl" taking us out.
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) sit down and discuss movies that they feel are underrated for Calvin, who talked to Shaun on Twitter (because no one talks to Dave on Twitter...because that would be silly). What follows is a conversation that spans a variety of films, including ones that the Guys have talked about before (say Lesbian Vampire Killers), some that Shaun really wants you to see (like Sukiyaki Western Django) and some that Dave really wants you to see (The Ghost and the Darkness). Films for everybody!
Thanks to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music and for "Prairie Blues" to end.
Apologies folks for the the Episode 60 Post, not sure what happened, but this one works:
Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) sit down and discuss what TV Series they would like to (or in most cases, not like to) see rebooted, based off the recommendation of Martina who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. What follows is a meandering conversation where the guys discuss shows like Twin Peaks, The Twilight Zone & Seinfeld.
And of course, Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day.

Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) discuss LEGO this week for Anna who talked to them on Twitter this week (@guysfromblank). What follows is a lot of fanboyism toward the Greatest Toy of the 20th Century, as they talk about what makes LEGO so great, a bit about what they did with their LEGO, some crazy facts about LEGO, the worst designed kits, and the Biggest LEGO kits of all time (as of March 2015).
Thanks again to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music and to Diatessaron (www.diatessaronband.com, diatessaron.bandcamp.com) for “Kitestrings” taking us out this week.

Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) discuss the weirdest and worst promotions ever in response to an email from Kelly. What follows is an epic exploration of some of the worst-thought-out promotional nights across sports (most of which baseball, as they need something to do in the dog days) like “Compost Nights” and “Halfway to St. Patrick’s Day Night”. Shout-out as well to the Bleacher Report, as we really turned to them to help us in our research.

Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) discuss the upcoming Academy Awards, and a few other awards shows for Jenny who emailed in to theguysfromblank@gmail.com. In what is really the most informative {PODCAST} of all time, Shaun goes over the intricacies of how the Oscars work (with a comparison to the Golden Globes), the Guys discuss HBO’s Oz , and then, for better or worse, give you their picks in every category (so you can play along, or if it’s after the Oscars on February 22, 2015, laugh at how inevitably wrong they were).
Thanks to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music, and for “Prairie Blues” to close.
