Tall Boy Radio

I'm this episode Beans, Gaz and Andy take a look at #sustainability in the brewing industry and ultimately in the #Brewing industry and look at whether we care where our #Beer actually comes from... and most importantly how do you make people care where their beers come from and what are the costs to the environment? The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing musi...

We cover a real range of topics in this episode. Is Asahi the number 1 premium #Lager? The #Brewdog forest. #BelgianBeers. Strange sources of yeast used to make #Beer. The different methods of infusing fruit into #Beers. #LambicBeer. Our main conversation is unusual ingredients for beer. Can you make a beer out of urine? Apparently yes. Should you? Probably not. What about whale testicles? Go grab...

The all new and improved #TallBoyRadio #Podcast - the #Beer #Review with a difference. This week we take a look at beers that are just a little bit more expensive that your regular 4 pack. Would you pay it? What's the most you'd be happy to pay? Would you drink a beer out of a squirrel?? We'd love to hear from you guys on this. We also take a look at what defines an #AbbeyAle as well as what quali...

The all new and improved TBR podcast, now with more #Beer! Welcome to the #TallBoyRadio #Podcast - The #Beer review with a difference. In the news this week, we take a look at #Brewdog and the rumours circulating of it being a toxic working environment. There's a new beer from #Beavertown and the news that English and West Ham footballer #DeclanRice has never had a beer in his life. We taste test...

There's nothing worse than a good movie with a bad ending... but when the guys in Hollywood nail it, it can be a thing of beauty. Beans, Gaz and Andy take a look at the times that they got it right and the times that they got it way wrong. The idea for this episode came from Dayle, one of our listeners. Thanks for the idea, Dayle. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and enjoy! The opening music...

In this episode, Beans, Gaz and Andy discuss their favourite books. It may come as a surprise to some that the guys can read but they can scrape by. They also talk about their favourite characters from literature and take a look at movies made from popular books and how they translate. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and enjoy. The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez an...

Beans, Gaz and Andy review the first beer from Double Trouble's beer club - the Ally Pale ale... before they crack on with the dumbest idea we've had for a podcast episode yet. Come at me, Bro : The game. You get 8 cards. 6 fighters of mixed ability and 2 wild card weapon cards. 2 players draw a card and discuss who would win the fight with the non-participants have the final say to the outcome......

Beans, Gaz and Andy each pick a crime that remains unsolved and break down the case, looking at the information that is known and the reasons why it remains unsolved. Andy takes a look at the Zodiak killer. There's plenty of conjecture around the perpetrator and the complex riddle of clues but no one has been charged with the murders. Beans talks about the only unsolved case of air piracy, that of...

Where were you when... We take a look at those events that are so shocking that you remember where you were. Every generation has them. For our parents it was the assassination of JFK. For us it was the fatal car accident that took the life of Princess Diana and of course, the terrorist acts in New York City on September the 11th, 2001. We also share some other events that we also remember. It's a...

This week, Beans, Gaz and Andy talk about their sporting heroes. It's an interesting mix. There's those that play on a team and stood out ad then there's individual sportsmen. There's the odd curveball too... players from teams they don't support and some dude you probably won't have heard of. As always we love to hear your sporting heroes. There are no wrong answers (other than Spurs players obvi...

Last time we shared our favourite memories of wrestling or more specifically the WWF (WWE). This week we take a look at what goes on behind the glitz and glamour of the lights. The amount of wrestlers that haven't made it to their 40th birthday is scary and many of those that do, don't make it much longer afterwards. We talk about the addictions and the stories of those trying to cling on to the h...

Yuup, you read it right. WWF! Wrestling we loved it when the WWE was the WWF. Every kid loves to tombstone their siblings, it's a fact. We talk about all our favourite wrestlers and memories of fights. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and relax and why? Because Stone Cold says so!! The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford....

Sounds a but like Dragon's Den doesn't it? Tall Boy's Den. To practice with their showdown with Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden et al, Scott and David of Double Trouble drinks practice their pitch in the rather more intimidating cauldron of Tall Boy Radio. Duncan bANDYtyne, Theo PathitGAZ and Toucar SillyBEANS disect the figures and ask the rough questions. You know the result of the Dragons. Find out...

Our original Dreams episode proved very popular so with some gentle encouragement from Gaz's eldest daughter, Amy - we finally got round to doing what we frequently promised to do : a follow-up episode. As promised we (well most of us, anyway) kept dream journals since the last episode and we delve into the meaning of some of our... if not wildest, weirdest... dreams. Go grab yourself a cold one,...

The final part of our 1980s trilogy - the music. There's a difference between 80s music and music of the 1980s. 80s music is cheesy as all hell, of course,.we acknowledge some of it but we focus on the good stuff released then and there really was some great music released in the 1980s (this isn't just an hour of Beans droning on about The Smiths, we promise!) Go grab yourself a cold one, kick bac...

This is the 2nd part of our 1980s trilogy. In this week's episode we put forward the argument that some of the best films were made during the decade of cheese. Think about it! There really was some absolute gems made. Disagree? Get in touch and tell us we're wrong. The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. This episode is also a...

1980s TV was the golden era of television. TV shows back then were beyond reproach in terms of their enjoyability and quality (Bullseye aside). Weren't they? If you disagree with us then get in touch and tell us the case against as in this episode Beans, Gaz and Andy unashamedly put the case for that argument firmly on the table. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and enjoy! The opening music...

Everybody loves a bit of comedy. Beans, Gaz and Andy are joined by Dave App (aka The Conedy App) to talk about stand-up comedy. It's something that Dave has not only done plenty of but also he organises and promotes comedy in the Warrington area... so much so that his efforts to entertain during lockdown even got a mention in the House of Commons. We talk about his first time, dying on stage, heck...

Technology in sport - does it make it improve or detract? That was the question posed by one of our regular listeners, Daz. Beans, Gaz and Andy do their best to answer that question. We look at a number of sports including Tennis, Rugby, Horse racing, athletics - to name but a few and look at what technology is used and how it works. The one sport that caused the most debate was inevitably footbal...

What do Beans, Gaz and Andy know about Gin? Very little as it turns out. Fortunately they were joined by the ladies from the Scottish Alchemists podcast to give them a few pointers. We sent them a gin that is made a few miles from us, in Stoke to try and they returned the favour with a 50.2% delicacy. You'll have to listen to find out who dumped a load of Mediterranean tonic into the gin without f...

Serial killers. What is it that fascinates us about them? As soon as you see a new documentary about them on whichever streaming platform you use, you know you're going to 'just watch the one episode" then get that Netflix message asking if we're still watching at 3am. We did what Alan Partridge wanted to do "understand Man's inhumanity to Man and make a program about it". We look at some famous c...

I'm a level 3 podcaster with a +2 mic and a pet Weasel. Dungeons and Dragons. No we don't play Dungeons and Dragons... but for 30 years we have played Fantasy role-playing games... just not D&D. We're joined by a couple of buddies to discuss this hobby. For the most part, we don't do it anymore. As Gaz has said a number of times on the podcast, we are geeks. We don't deny our geekdom, in fact in t...

This week we're talking NFL football and the Superbowl and we're honoured to be joined by 2 legends of the podcasting game. Big Tiddy Tidwell and Shiner McShine from the Tiddy and Shiner show out of Tulsa, Oklahoma. With these 2 guys involved, you know we're going to take a left turn or twenty. We got the NFC North covered with 2 Chicago Bears fans, a Packers fan and a less than enthusiastic Lions...

Bucket lists - a list of things that you want to achieve before you kick the bucket. This week, Beans, Gaz and Andy have a good long think about what it is that we want to do with our time left on the planet. Facing in to your own mortality is a big deal and planning on getting stuff done at the moment is tough but we managed to cobble some things together. None of us have a ready made bucket list...

Beans, Gaz and Andy are joined by friends of the show David from Double Trouble drinks to discuss their favourite pastime... darts! We talk about all things darts - from the recent world championships where we saw a new champ crowned in Gerwyn Price (who also became the new world number 1) in front of an empty auditorium to the amateur game. Darts, being a game traditionally played in pubs and soc...
