I'm writing this as I crouch in the stairwell of a shitty hotel. The internet is so bad in my room that I had to walk down to the end of the hall where it's amazingly fast. I might just get a sleeping bag and stream a movie out here, like camping! We could light a nice fire and sing songs. Man...I'd love to light this hotel on fire and sing songs. …

One thing you don't want when you're staying in a hotel for long long periods of time is inconsistent breakfasts. And bad! I mean...it's clear the eggs from this morning were the same ones from yesterday. I don't know...maybe retiring from the Navy was a big mistake. Listen to this episode and hear all about it!!!

On the episode we talk to Mike Paine but more importantly we listen to Mike Paine, because when you have a prominent voice actor on you don't want to miss your opportunity to learn. And not only is he a voice actor extraordinaire but he has decades of experience appearing on radio, books on tape, teaching and all sorts of other stuff. Not only that…

On this episode I deliver one of my most heartfelt monologues. I didn't want to talk about it a whole bunch in this episode description because I thought it would cheapen it. Then after thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided that I wanted to cheapen it so I wrote up all these pages of gibberish. So much so that the people at the [podcast di…

It's the beginning of our 18th season!!! Can you believe it? Wow. Who would've thought. I know I wouldn't have. I didn't even want to!

This episode was going to be a big premiere, a sort of "re-birth". My plan was to be very energetic and act like I'd never done a podcast ever before in my life. I was going to have fake technical difficulties and interview somebody about plants. I had it all set but you know what happened? The time came to start doing my whole routine and I though…

This episode is dedicated to my girlfriend because she said she likes the episodes where I ramble on endlessly about nothing and so that's what I tried to do. Now that I think about it, maybe she said that because she thinks it's really annoying and if I ramble on and on endlessly, eventually I will end up alienating my audience. Without my audienc…

A lot of people think that the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is the very first movie with all post production, including color grading, done digitally. But due to the release date being pushed back repeatedly, Jason X (aka Jason in Space) is actually the first film to be completely color graded digitally along with all the other post production…

On this episode, we talk to Greg Judd from The IDK's. A lot of you are probably thinking "he already said that in the Episode Title" and that is true, but I wanted to make sure that was clear. I mean, it might not mean a lot to you, but it means a lot to me!! Not only do we talk to Greg Judd from the IDKs but we also debut three songs. That means I…

This is an episode where I never once talk about the Friday the 13th holiday that happens every few months. Could you call that a holiday? What is Friday the 13th classified as? I guess it's not a holiday. It's just a day. Apparently years that begin on Thursday have three Friday the 13ths. One in February, one in March, and one in November, such a…

This episode is an homage to Over the Edge on KTLA. I was listening to it the other day, or a recording of it I should say, and it reminded me of how inspirational that stuff was for me. Still is!! But that's neither here nor there. What's important is that we got this episode done. We're all really excited about that. Support the show…

Listen to us talk about things, the value of said things and the role…

This, of course, is the 2024 Christmas episode. Originally, I was calling it the 2024 X-mas episode but I noticed people don't do that anymore. They don't do a lot of stuff anymore. Like caring about each other. That's something we don't do anymore. You know what makes people care about each other? Listening to the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show! Sup…

On this episode, I appear on another guys podcast. I don't tell him I do a podcast or that I'm using the audio of our conversation in this episode. A lot of people are going to say "that's deceptive!" or "that's stealing!" and to those people I say go fuck yourselves. This is my podcast and I'll do what I want!! And not only do I do this, but the m…

On this episode I talk about how even though I'm not a fan of Donald Trump, I knew he was going to win. I would visit my sister and she'd get so angry that I said he was going to win. I never said I liked him, I just said he was going to win. She got so angry and started screaming at me but hey...it's over. You know who never screamed at me? Donald…

This episode is about popular characters from popular old intellectual property pulp magazines also known as comic books. The word "comic" originates from the Greek word "komikos," which relates to comedy. This Greek term itself comes from "komos," meaning a revel or a festivity. The word evolved through Latin as "comicus" before entering Middle En…

Here we are again on this, the final episode of our three part series involving none other than Caesar from The Great Big Intergalactic Podcast.

Why don't you listen and find out e…

I made one promise last episode. But it was a big one. It was that I would have a guest on to talk about something. It's this new idea I've been kicking around. Figured I'd try it out on this episode and if it works out, well...who knows where we can take it? But this new idea was to talk to someone in a very "spur of the moment' type of way. Now t…

As with most great trilogies, the second episode is the one that really ties everything together and this episode does nothing to dispel that myth. We're back with our good friend Gaz Reynolds and we're talking about even more stuff!! We get pretty heavy on this one.

Does anyone know of the band "Head of Femur"? I don't know if they were ever considered "really" popular. I had this one record of theirs...it was really good! It had that song "Eight Steps to Jonas"? I don't know. I could probably just log-in to my preferred streaming service and do a search for them, but I gotta write the goddamn description for …

On this episode I talk to an American leftist who's living in Mexico. We talk all about the state of the world, the economic and political climate of present day Mexico and why the United States sucks and commie socialism is the ONLY answer!! That's right! I tried to get a Mexican right-winger who's living in the United States to provide a counter …

On this episode we talk about how working for the man is all that matters and there's nothing else. There's no fun or enjoyment anymore.

Well to that I would say you need to go and check yourself into th…

On this episode I talk to Justin about why working for the man sucks. He agrees! It does suck, so there you go - it’s not just me. But what’s more, he’s taken his lumps and come out on top, relatively speaking, which is not what I was expecting. I was thinking it was going to be a sad dismal story that was going to turn listeners away but no! It wa…

Ricky was a young boy. He had a heart of stone. He lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone. He was just barely out of school and what's worse is he came from the edge of town. He fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down. He had no money. He had no good at home. He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world …

This episode is my homage to the late great Miles Davis. Most people will never know how much I love Miles Davis, even his Tutu era stuff that everyone hates! And that's what this episode is about.

On this one I return from the long vacation I took to some tropical island. As I write this, I realize that is exactly what I should have done. It's been almost two weeks since the last episode, I couldn't get a guest, but had I made this a whole "I'm in the Bahamas podcasting live" thing, it would've given me volumes of material. I could have talk…

Nobody’s saying I can’t just whip out the podcasts here and there, and why shouldn’t they? They’re always saying this or that and all times day or night. “Stay out of my business!” I would yell to them as they pass me by. Passing me buy on that corporate ladder to the stars. And they’re going to get there. They’re going to get there if I have to dr…

On this episode we talk about none other than Otto Fredrik Gideon Sundbäck, the inventor of the modern day zipper. He doesn’t even have a “zip” sound in his name which I found REALLY disappointing. I didn’t bring it up in the episode because it’s not professional. You don’t want to find fault with things when you’re hosting a podcast. You just want…
