The Show

What Is The Glue Guy Podcast?

The glue guy is the role player who holds everything together without getting the credit. He's not the star. He does the work that doesn't show up in the box score — but if he doesn't do it, everything falls apart. On the court, in the office, at home.

That's the show. That's the audience.

"Not a media personality — just a guy with real takes and a genuine love for sports."

The Glue Guy Podcast is hosted by Cannon Simmons — 29, Springville Utah, married with one son. Not trying to be ESPN. Not trying to be a celebrity podcast. Just a sharp peer with an opinion and a microphone.

Inspired by Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo. Built for guys who have a real life but still care deeply about sports.

Sharp, direct, genuinely knowledgeable. Cannon blends sports analysis with real-life perspective in a way that feels like a conversation with a smart friend — not a media personality reading from a script.

Submit Your Take

Got a take? Send a 60–90 second voice memo. Sports, culture, parenting, work, whatever. The best ones make the show — Cannon plays your audio live and reacts. 3–4 callers per episode.

01
Keep it 60–90 seconds. Long enough to have a real take. Short enough to stay sharp. Over 2 minutes and it won't air.
02
Any topic. Sports is the entry point but not the limit. Work, parenting, pop culture — bring it.
03
Submit within the window. Submissions open 72 hours before recording. Watch social for the timing each week.
04
Be yourself. Don't perform for the mic. Talk like you would in the group chat. That's what makes it.
