This week, we're defining, describing, and rating famous Dumb Guy Movies released in the early 2000s and the aughts. We get into the differences between a Dumb Guy Movie and a regular, run-of-the-mill dumb movie, and take you through some of the most popular ones of the decade (2003 - 2013). We're sure you've experienced this phenomenon in your own life even if you weren't sure what to call it.

Happy Pride, everyone! In honor of Pride Month, we're diving into the wild universe of the original seasons of The L Word. We know, we know...this has been done many times over before but even though Stef does get into some of why they watched the show from its premiere in 2004 to its end in 2009, we're going to talk about some stuff we don't see other places covering: how straight (presumably white) men felt about the show's premiere and existence. You're probably wondering why their opinions matter, which they don't, but they're a lot funnier than you think.

Craft beer lovers and haters, this episode is for you! This week, we're getting into this history of the American craft beer boom of the 2000s, the 2010s, and today.

If you're as old as we are (or older), there's a good chance you spent some time casually watching Reno 911 during Comedy Central's Golden Age of original programming. This week, we're discussing the show's creation, its premise, its awful and unforgettable cast of characters, and its impact (or lack thereof). We discuss what satire is supposed to do, and why it just never seems to go as far as it needs to.

Some people might be trying to rewrite the story of George W. Bush's presidency, but not your brothers here at FGJG. This week, we're discussing Bush's distinct rhetorical style - what people call "Bushisms" - and the ways he used this caricature of himself to convince a nation that the expansion of our imperialism was both inevitable and morally sound. We're getting into the linguistic nitty gritty of it all, AND we're power ranking the top 10 Bushisms of all time.

We've got a special treat in store for all you VH-1 Heads out there in the world this week. We're revisiting the wild, whacky, incredibly self-referential VH-1 "celebreality" universe from its origin: The Surreal Life. We discuss what The Surreal Life was/is, which "celebrities" were on it, and how exactly VH-1 helped usher in the brave, new world of being a celebrity not just for doing something important but also for doing nothing important at all.

This week, we're joined by one of our beloved former students (& loyal Fat Guy, Jacked Guy listener & patron), Dawn, to talk about RuPaul's Drag Race, which premiered on Logo in 2009. We discuss what Drag Race is, & we ask Dawn about all her favorite Drag Race everything. We also get into the cultural impact of Drag Race & why the queens who competed on the show have become such a mainstay in pop culture.

This week, we're revisiting that moment in the mid-aughts when it seemed like everything underground was finally dredged up for everyone to enjoy. We're talking about the garage rock revival and the emergence of the "indie sleaze" scene, a time when roaring guitar-driven rock & roll helped build a culture of spontaneity and debauchery and...American Apparel bodysuits? It's the last of the youth-created and youth-led do-it-yourself scenes, and we're taking you on a little trip through some of it, particularly the early days of the scene and the music and fashion that defined it. Stef mentions a Spotify playlist they made for the episode, which you can find here. You can find Fat Guy, Jacked Guy on ⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠.

In this week's episode, we dive deep into the new millennium's version of Sparta by revisiting 2007's 300. We discuss everything 300 is bringing: the fascist propaganda, the anti-queerness, the idealized masculinity, the connections between the messages in 300 and the American politics of the period, and, of course, the ripped bodies of the actors who starred in the film and how they got them. If you've never seen the film, don't worry. You don't really need to. Plus, we got you covered on all the details you'll need to understand how much it sucks.
