With Ted Turner’s passing still in the rear-view mirror, Robbie reaches out to hometown friend Kevin Ivey. Not only did Ted Turner know Kevin by name, he also brought him into the CNN world when it was just coming into its own.

This is a true behind-the-scenes, other side of the camera view of Turner’s world. And there are stories. In fact, there are so many stories, The Guys had to break this one up into two episodes. And that, of course, means the loyal listeners get to hear two sets of Geeks of the Week!

Jay sadly fails to save the universe, but he’s not the only one. Art gives an address on addresses, and Robbie has news on the Supers. Listen to what will surely soon be known as the iconic “Ivey Interview” then come back for part 2 next week. There’s a cliffhanger!

Just when you thought only Art brought the celebrity obits every week, this episode focuses on the media’s recent loss of Captain Outrageous, the Mouth of the South…the inimitable Ted Turner. And lest any mourner be left out: the sailing world, Major League Baseball, and bison-lovers everywhere are also spilling tears into their dry vodka martinis at 5 minutes after every hour.

Thanks to Turner’s WTCG, which later became WTBS, The Guys in their young (ish) teenage years had the opportunity to watch almost every Braves game and cheer for the Goldar (the Space Giant) in his ongoing battle against Rodak. (Not to be confused with Polaroid’s ongoing battle with Kodak.) Turner was controversial, but a legend in the media world, where nobody thought CNN would last. Ted may be gone, but he’s not Gone with the Wind.

Geeks of the week get a new spin this week: Jay goes first! A flopped Disney property gets a reboot, and Jay gets an explanation of why an entire section of Disney World was closed when he was there this year. Art is looking forward to the introduction of some guest singers on the new Rolling Stones album. And Robbie is sitting on the edge of his tomorrow again.

Listen to this episode, watch a Turner Classic Movie, and have a nice day.

The Supervillains are back! And no, we’re not talking about The Guys, though all three of them are in the studio today. It’s time for a catch-up episode on the Regrettable Supervillains segment, aka Jay’s Regrettable Segment.

He mustered up a couple of doozies in this episode. Let us begin. First up is The Dictator, aka Hitler disguised as the devil. The Guys aren’t sure he’s redeemable, but his arch-enemy Mr. Justice has a quirky backstory. Then comes Dr. Dracula, who neither sees patients, teaches students, or hails from Transylvania. What’s up with this guy? Not much, as it turns out. It doesn’t take much for Captain Battle and sidekick Hale to overcome him and his Nazi spies dressed like bats. How a superhero lost an eye might make for a better story.

Before they get to Villain news, though, it’s time for Geeks of the Week. More sad news from Art? Afraid so, and this time it’s Roger Sweet: without him there would be no He-Man movie this year. And there is great anticipation that none of the guys will be able to see any of 2026’s movies in a local Infinity Vision theater - who’s ready to sponsor a work trip to Vegas? Robbie teases the teaser from the new season of Ted Lasso, and also announces (to GOCA listeners, anyway) that there’s about to be one less Cook in the kitchen at Apple. Jay was going to apply for the job, until found out they make computers, not pies.
