It should come as no surprise to listeners that The Guys like to eat. But in this episode they go beyond talking about eating, and actually munch on the air. It’s the first “live” Guys of a Certain Age taste test!

Thanks to Santa Coblentz, Robbie brought a box of Krispy Kreme donut-flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans to try. And thanks to Jay’s obsession with all things Oreo, The Guys experience a throwback of sorts to Oreo’s Thanksgiving Dinner-Inspired flavor set. At least one flavor they definitely wanted to throw back.

But before they began their on-air culinary experience, they did lead off with some Geeks of the Week. Guess who’s back? Lara Croft, but this time in a series. Stan Sebastian is also back - or he might be - but this time as a DC character. And for those who want to go back to the Mos Eisley Cantina, Nashville may have your answer. Listen hungry!

(Technology is great until it is corrupted, which is what happened to the original file of perhaps the greatest GOCA episode in history. The Guys had to reach back into their memory banks - a real stretch - to recreate this moment in history. Success? Probably not, but please listen anyway.)

2025 closed with a sad note for movie lovers with the loss of Rob Reiner, and for early sci-fi TV fans with Gil Gerard’s last ride into the stars. (On the bright side, Dick Van Dyke is 100 years old and having a Jolly Holiday.) But before The Guys go into their Rob Reiner Retrospective, they lead off with a Geek of the Week or three. Jay shares a Florida Man headline, but this time it’s Legos. Art brings the obits, with commentary on the loss of Buck. And Robbie is looking forward to his new computer as early as 1982.

Rob Reiner’s passing was certainly a tragedy, but The Guys celebrate his career as actor, director and producer with a chat about their favorite Reiner films (there is definite overlap). As it turns out, they CAN handle the truth. No meat-heads in this bunch. That would be inconceivable.

Art joins Robbie in the studio for the first podcast recorded in 2026!

Hopeful news starts our Geeks of the Week: Evangeline Lilly announces plans for improvement following a fall that left her with brain damage. Billy Joel appeared with a tribute band in Florida after his brain disorder caused him to cancel shows. Wishing both continued healing.
