All unborn children mentioned in this episode have arrived into this world happy and healthy!  The drinks flow, as does the conversation. As all drunken conversations do, this one leads to KFC. But not just KFC, but the world's greatest KFC! The start of many (KFC) bucket l...

After a classical Barry Bullock Hour hiatus episode sixty-four is here with a bang! The decision to abscond to the Kensington Palace lounge for a bit of #LoungeEnergy is immediately regretted when Eric and Cal launch into back-to-back segments that require the use of the kitchen.

It's another gruesome twosome as the C-Mac and the Bullock return to the Kensington Palace, and return to the last cans of the GABS Festival beer box.  After a brief chat about the weather - classic podcast fodder - things ramp up as the sore topic of the T20 World Cup is immediately brought up. New Zealand didn't make it, which shouldn't surprise anyone, but it's not the Black Caps latest failure...

Coming to you live from the Bridge Road cardboard pop-up bar in Brunswick it's #BarryBullockHour 56! To paraphrase the immortal words of the New Girl, it's a classic C-Mac and Bullock mess-around, as the raging plague continues to play havoc with our recording schedule, and in this case attendance.  Delicious fresh-hopped beers are drunk. And we get uncharacteristically topical as we discuss what...

Well it wouldn't be a new year without a fresh round of pandemic pandemonium, and when the clouds finally parted mid-January we went straight to Bodriggy Brewing for a few brews, and some serious ATMOSPHERE! We talk the looming Superbowl, and Kieran's strange and very tenuous connection to one of the starting quarterbacks. Meat products are discussed, much to Cal's chagrin. And Eric unleashes a bo...

A calimitous batting collapse from England sees the Ashes urn stay in Australia, forcing Callum and Kieran to abscond to Cox Towers for the luncheon interval. Suddenly, a podcast breaks out!

And hosting duties go straight to Eric's head as he attempts to whisk the Barry Bullock Hour...

It's the #BarryBullockHour Christmas Party, and you're invited! Bursting at the seams with Christmas content, but not in a way that makes you pine for the new year. With Elvis and riots on the docket, this content is as fresh as the beers we're drinking.  We break into the Carwyn Cellars Canvent Beer Advent Calendar, ignore the "one a day" advent spirit, and get straight into the beautiful Christm...

The #BarryBullockHour goes NUCLEAR! Or at least Big Dog does, as a swathe of technical issues plague the start of recording down in the Mornington Peninsula Dog Pound.

Eric once again finds a way to shoehor...

It's the FIFTIETH EPISODE of the #BarryBullockHour and we return to the digital realm, dressed to the nines and just as many beers deep. It's a celebration! A milestone! And we're not going to let a little pandemic stop us from having an absolute ripper!  Kieran kicks things off with a 50th-themed quiz. Question one: how many fun facts are there about the number fifty? Answer: none! Cal unveils a...

It's episode forty-nine of #TheBarryBullockHour coming to you LIVE from the Princes Park Carlton Bowls Club! Yes, that's right, after years of threatening do it we finally get the microphone down to the bowls club for a spot of bowls chat. The only catch? Plenty of chat, but no bowls.  Callum places a box on the table and asks the age-old question #WhatsInTheBox? Kieran places the Sourade Berry Bl...

It's #BarryBullockHour 48, which finds us out in the wild, and back on the beers! The fearsome foursome assemble at 2 Brothers Brewing in Moorabbin, a month late, but worth the wait!

The renaissance of the #BarryBullockHour continues! In person and on the hoon, episode 45 is ripe with #LoungeEnergy, political satire, and swashbuckling tales of adventure! Cal sets the scene with a time-bending philosophical question, but things go quickly awry when John Travolta (as a conversation piece) enters the conversation.  Eric's looming citizenship test sends us down some dangerous sati...

We're back with the second half of our boozy reunion - a three-hour recording session where we got stuck into the GABS mixed 24-pack and has ourselves quite the time! Part two kicks off with controversy, a beer with a show-stopping smell brings proceedings quite literally to a halt. Surely a new contender for #AustraliasWorstBeer wouldn't be found in the Top 100 countdown?? Surely not. But the unn...

It took the best part of nine months but the #BarryBullockHour is finally back in one room and #BackOnTheBeers! And what better way to celebrate than with a mighty beer box - the mixed 24-pack from the GABS Hottest 100. Twenty-four delicious craft beers and three men?

Then, in the Big Dog's absence,...
