Episode 121: HORSE WEEK

Just when you thought we were out of new ideas, the brilliant minds at Here’s a Guy are back with a brand new theme episode- and it’s just what everyone has been waiting for. We’ve been discussing unheralded historical tales for 120 episodes, featuring heroic adventures and devious villains and frightening twists. What’s been missing? That’s right, horses. This show has featured a distinct lack of horse content. Well, this week, we fix that once and for all. It’s horse week on Here’s a Guy, featuring three horse topics and a ton of other horse-related riffing. Despite having no particular knowledge or background or expertise about horses, we spend 2ish hours discussing them as if we know what we’re talking about. Do we manage to find enough things to say to fill the time? Tune in to find out! After an opening topic where we discuss all things horse, or at least, all things horse than we can think about off the top of our head. Then it’s 3 tales of horses from the past, featuring the harrowing story of a champion racehorse turned kidnapping victim, a horse with alleged psychic powers, and the real story behind the horse who could do math.
