Tall Boy Radio

Jerry Springer, Jeremy Kyle, Sally Jessie.... every time that they did a DNA special, you had to watch. Well this is Tall Boy Radio's take on those special and there's a lot at stake! Beans traced the lost branch to his family tree and Beau took a trip to England based on that information. Could you imagine if that was wrong? We find out, thanks to the good folks at ancestry.com and their DNA test...

You can't beat a good covers band and Double Denim Company are a GOOD covers band. Based in South Cheshire, they play classic 70s and 80s rock. We were fortunate enough to be joined by their Lead Singer Tim Hodgins, their lead Guitarist Jon Ayres and their drummer Justyn "Joppa" Peake to talk about some of their experiences. This episode is a little more chaotic than our usual output but that just...

We were joined by Jason - a man of many interests... a model railway enthusiast, an Internet DJ and a Paranormal investigator. The main focus of this episode is his investigations into the other realm. He tells us about faked photography, real life experiences, spectral voices picked up on his equipment... and then there's his own home which is still inhabited by the previous owners who have passe...

We look at the 6 most likely reasons that Humans came to inhabit Planet Earth. Whether you believe, we ruled by the serpent people, placed here by a God or aliens or that we desecneded from Monkeys (I know it's Apes but there's already a film with that title) we examine and rank the most likely reasons.... and then bid good wishes to our reptilian overlords (kidding). This week of all weeks, Beans...

We were joined by fellow Podcaster Mark Birtles from the Railwaymen podcast to talk about his football club Crewe Alex... but not in the sense that you may expect. Mark has had his struggles with his mental health and it lead him in 2019 to try and take his life. His love for his football club and the fact they are a smaller team with great ties to the local community means that could reach out to...

We were joined by Todd and Johnny (from the Todd Orndorf On The Toddcast podcast) to try out Reload Rub's Magnum. We'd held off trying this for 6 months (or had we??) And tried it for the 1st time (first time, really?) on this episode. If you're bothered by eating noises you'll be pleased to know they've been edited out. There's some serious talk about politics which may offend some snowflakes in...

We were joined all the way from Pittsburgh, PA by Anon Mess Age Sage - a musician and creative mind. He talks us through the thinking process behind his music and how he has turned negatives into positives. His music - not to everyone's taste by his own admission - is chaotic but also cathartic. It's a freedom of artistic impression. With comparisons to fellow Yinzer Andy Warhol, we had a fascinat...

We hand over the controls of the Tall Boy Radio Monster Machine to the Boys from Illinois - Ryan, Brad and Dick from the PubTime Podcast and they take it skywards. This is a collaboration episode... it's our 100th since Gaz and Andy joined so it seemed right to do something different. We go 5 for 5 on British Bands before discussing how powerful is Elon Musk? The main topics centre around the Dark...

We take a glance (minus Andy due to a scheduling conflict and not his either!!) at what's been going on in the world of Sport. We look at Tyson Fury's uppercut, Granit Xhaka's goal against Man United and look at the sporting superlatives and hyperboles that the media have attached to those. We ask Gaz - will Everton get relegated? His answer may surprise you. We look at Boxing out of the ring with...

There's no Andy this week as he didn't get back from his Easter break in time. Gaz has booked his Summer holidays to New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco and here's looking for ideas of stuff today - feel free to email suggestions to mail@tallboyradio.com which takes Beans down memory lane of holidays past. There's a little bit of NFL talk as Gaz doesn't let Beans off the hook a out comments he m...

We were joined by Beans' cousin from across the pond, Beau and by Beans' brother Jon to talk about Beau's recent visit to the UK. Ever since Beau found out he was related to Beans and Jon he decided he was going to visit England for the first time. We talked about his experience meeting up with the boys and their Father, Kris, the trip up to Edinburgh, how the UK differs to the US and how come he'...

We were delighted to be joined by Mike, Tabby and Caleb from the Happy Hour Podcast out of Louisville, Kentucky. We've guested on their podcast and Tabby appeared on the episode that we did with the Designated Quizzers. Our good pal Bill had an idea for an episode where we talk about the dumb stuff that we've done and ended up doing ourselves a mischief... and we thought why not involve our pals f...

We were joined by Dave and we welcomed Gaz back on to the podcast and he had a lot of things on his mind.... Was Will Smith or Chris Rock the villain at their Oscars debacle? We've all seen Gareth Bale's comments about the media, just how accountable are they? The sad and untimely passing of Taylor Hawkins. Should their be an age cap on heads of state and monarchs? ...and then there's female swimm...

There's no Gaz again this week and this time it's down to Covid19. Beans and Andy shoot the breeze about a whole host of topics. Andy's new Motorbike has had it's maiden voyage, will Everton get relegated? Will Man U or Arsenal make the top 4? Is Boxing's only point of interest the novelty fights? We talk about upcoming shows and the greatest competition on television : LegoMasters... and there's...

There's no Gaz this week as we're joined by John Nicol aka the Geordie Beed Guy. If you've seen any beer reviews online then you've no doubt seen some of his stuff. John loves his craft beer and loves trying new and different beers. We talk all things beer with him and it's starting to look like we're in the minority when it comes to our arch-nemesis The Duchess. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick...

This week we were joined by Al Shep. Al has worked for over 30 years in Mental Health. He uses his spare time to help draw attention to this area and his goal is to make people "think differently about people who think differently". Check him out on social media twitter.com/alshepmcr and nstagram.com/alshepmcr - he also has excellent taste in music!! Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and enjo...

This episode of Tall Boy Radio has literally been 10 years in the making. From when Beans first reached out to Beau to say that he believed they were related to this point where Beau sat down in TBR HQ to record the 1st ever livestreamed episode. There is a crazy amount of ground covered and beer and Whisky consumed and the odd revelation too - turns out Boilermakers are actually quite pleasant. G...

Yeah we were struggling for a title for this one. The topics were all over the place so we went for something that wasn't too much to do with the actual episode. There was no Gaz again as he's struggling with his bionic clavicle instead we were joined by Dave to ask some taxing question. We started off with the 3Rs and how important they are or aren't to us. We moved on to talk about the device th...

Gaz is back.... briefly. He stops by for 20 minutes to let us know that he's OK. Beans and Andy are joined by guest host Dave who'll be with us for the next 2 weeks. Whilst Gaz is with us we talk about the Superbowl and it's iconic halftime show before sharing a few funny Valentine's day stories... and let's not forget stories of 2 broken clavicles!! We move on to the West Ham player Kurt Zouma -...

Gaz misses out on the 2nd anniversary episode of Tall Boy Radio as his broken collarbone is still causing him discomfort. We're joined by Lisa from the Designated Quizzers Podcast and Tabby from the Happy Hour Podcast to take us on in a 20 question quiz shoot-out. The questions aren't about beer but they are bloody hard. They're fall off your chair hard! Stay tuned to the end for a beaut of an out...

There's no Gaz (Shoulder) or Andy (Hound) tonight but we're back in Tulsa, Oklahoma to chat to Tiddy and Shiner from The Outcasts media group. This episode is very much like an episode of the Tiddy and Shiner show - left-turns-a-plenty. There's plenty of Politics talk, US and UK, plenty of talks about pneumonia, head colds, influenza and.... what's the other on? There's a pinch of NFL talk as we'r...

There's no Gaz this week as he's had a fall and broken his collarbone. Andy and I were joined by James Pesch, a life coach from Tulsa, Oklahoma. He talks about Neuro Linguistic programming, gives Beans a way of helping stay on his vegetarian path, talks a little about stoicism, drops a whole lot of science on us and explains a little of how our minds work. There's even a little bit of magic thrown...

There's no Andy tonight as he has some family commitments but we are joined all the way from California by the hardest working man in PodcastLand - Megaman aka Stephen Martinez from the Megaman podcast. We took more left turns than a Nascar winner. We started on craft beer before talking about podcasts and what it means to us and why it's such a passion in our lives. We talk abou why we never talk...

Lupus. What do you know about it? We barely knew anything and when we looked in to it we were surprised by it's severity. We were joined by Lou of menhavelupus.org to talk candidly about how the illness has affected him. He realised early on that the support isn't there. Rather than retreating- he went out there and set up a help group to help men get the answers and the help they need. We were hu...

We're buying into that New Year, New me BS. We talk about New Year's revolutions and for one reason or another, we've all decided to make some this year (of sorts). Obviously we get distracted along the way and take left turns towards Eddie 'The Beast' Hall's diet, Boilermakers, what would you call a boilermaker if it were made with gin, Black and Tans (they really are Irish) and much more nonsens...
