Tall Boy Radio

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...

We turn an Orwellian nightmare into a bit of fun. Beans, Gaz and Andy each pick 2 things to be disposed of. What does Gaz hate most about football? What cornerstone of society gets Andy fired up? Which part of the ecosystem does Beans have beef with? What else will trigger their anger? In this episode Beans and Gaz disagree over the phrase "living to work". Gaz was actually referring to the rising...

100 episodes of Tall Boy Radio! Where did the time go? Why did the time go? We're very proud to have churned out 100 very different episodes. We reflect on our favourite episodes and let you in what the 5 most popular episodes are. We talk about our favourite guests ànd some new anecdotes about old anecdotes. We also let you in on a little bit of what we have planned for 2022. All that remains is...

This is not only the last episode before Christmas but it's also the last episode with just 2 digits. We talk about our favourite Christmas traditions and how they've instilled in us our love for Christmas and desire to make the festive period special for our children. We also talk about our most memorable gifts - they may not be the most expensive gifts we ever received but they resonated with us...

We are honoured to be joined by our new friends from across the pond, Ryan and Brad of the Pubtime Podcast (Go check them out if you haven't already). We go 5 for 5 with them listing our favourite beers before exploring the world of sports. We look at how NFLUK games differ from games played stateside, Rugby, Cricket and a little bit of "soccer". We hear about how they started their podcast and wh...

This one's all over the show. We look at series 2 of the Tiger King and ask the question : why aren't sequels better than the originals? There's our usual NFL round-up. There's shout outs to some of our favourite companies Dixxon flannel, Double Trouble Drinks and the Belgian beer company. Find out what Andy is happy to spend on just 2 bottles of beer. What do we think about Cryptozoology. Go grab...

This week it's Gaz's turn to ask the questions... and if you know anything about him, you'll have guessed that they are all sports based. We're joined by our pal Dave to look at inequality in sport. Be that the race debate in Cricket, or whether sportswomen should be allowed to compete against their male counterparts. We consider it all. There's the usual NFL talk and we throw down a challenge to...

Growing up Beans wished he was Luke Duke. Turns out that dream was a little closer than he thought in that in tracing his American leg of the family tree, he has a cousin Beau. If you listened to episode BDS5, you'll know the back story, if not, you can always go back and listen to Beans does Genealogy. Beau should have joined us at TBR HQ but due to some passport problems he had to join us digita...

In this episode, Beans puts the important questions to Gaz and Andy. We look at the top 100 Googled questions so far this year and see if these 2 guys can do a better job than the search engine in dishing out the answers. We've not gone for the mundane, we've picked the stranger questions that have been asked. Can dogs eat bananas? Are unicorns real? Are jellyfish immortal? You'll find all the ans...

The gang are back together and firing on all cylinders. The Reload Rub is ready to be switched again (for the most part). We pitch the 5 beer idea to Gaz - who in his absence has managed to check something off of his bucket list, and it may not be one that you'd predict. There's the usual NFL round-up before we look at climate change : who's doing what and what could or should we be doing differen...

There's no Gaz again this week but Beans and Andy welcome Dave the Internet guy back as a guest. He asks us a bunch of questions that don't have a black and white answer, leaving us to get tangled up in grey. Questions like : should nurses be mandated to get the Covid19 vaccination? Should euthanasia we legal in the UK? Is winning the key message to be taught in children's sport? There's the usual...

Beans and Andy... hang on, Where's Gaz? He's got a stinker of a cold and sits this one out... so Beans and Andy talk about their favourite ghoulies from Horrror movies, Beans gets another offer for his official services and this one may actually happen, we talk about fireworks and a new concept: silent fireworks, what's your favourite genre of horror movie, Billionaires could be using their money...

How about a little bit more Bond for you? Gaz gives his verdict on the "final"? James Bond film and shares a spoiler or 2. There's a couple more questions about where 007 goes from here. In the battle of the plums, Aldi's and Titanic's Plum Porters face off in a taste test - can Beans tell the difference. Andy's Lions appear toothless again as we take a look at our NFL teams. There's a missed oppo...

Beans, Gaz and Andy cast their quizzical eyes over the latest James Bond movie and ask who should be the next Bond? We also get serious for a second and look at the handling of the events that lead to the tragic death of Sarah Everard, Andy pounds a can of the marmite beer before we take a look at how our NFL bet is going. Can a hot tub change your approach to life? Is Arteta the man for Arsenal?...

The tops are popped on the Reload Rub and the cook off has begun. This stuff is phenomenal. We need to get this in the UK on a regular basis. It hurt us all but we took a look at how our bet is playing out as the Lions, Steelers and Bears all faltered in week 3. Why is Halloween so popular? We're seeing people talking about it already on social media and we don't understand the fuss. There's an up...
