    #TBR237 - The Best of the Black Stuff
    Aug 11 2024

    Guinness. It's synonymous with the word stout.... but is it the best and could we pick it out of a line up. 11% of beer sold in the UK is Guinness - so it's no wonder that a couple of beers have gone up against it recently. We blind taste test the classic Guinness and a couple of upstarts : Conor McGregor's Forged Irish Stout and BrewDog's Black Heart... and just for good measure, we see if we can spot the Guinness Zero too. We also rate them and pick our favourite whilst intermingling the conversation with facts, stories and conjecture. Finally, after seeing the Gonster (A Guinness and Monster cocktail) on the Guinness Community Facebook page -ahem, amongst other things- we give that a go to - is it Genius or a Monstrosity? The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodrigues and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

    #TBR236 - Badge, Tie and Gun
    Aug 2 2024
    Ramesh Nyberg served over 20 years in a Miami, Florida Homicide Department. He's also written a memoir about his time in the Police Department. He joined us to share stories from his book : Badge, tie and Gun - Life and Death journeys of a Miami Detective. It was fascinating to hear just how he copes with the pressure put upon him by a department that was dealing with more than 1 homicide a day. What's it like working in to a crime scene and how do you mentally process it? He shares the 1 case that he still can't let go even now that he's retired. He dispels the myths that we have thanks to Hollywood and Crockett and Tubbs. We know you'll enjoy this episode - and we're sure that you'll enjoy his book which you can purchase here : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Badge-Tie-Gun-Journeys-Detective-ebook/dp/B0CTQQKQTV/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1L8OI9AA4IP1J&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.fPxxnAYObFJNlcv4rEwmrY0EJDS_kp9wZo8P1cbFXq5V02jPQ5fhuyRA7lVuRCpJvrX0FqiqrcMVGi38dwcn95Mu0SXqdYjZ4em76WcqvUHOvdBm7Pciqx8WxqfPg3phtw4KnJuzx4ffCm25bwwvh49a0juMaVMPGgEGJG1tHgjJNg7WRU6ZZXjyYsN4VRxl1XZOk_Sa1tMSOSDsSVAZFsxP7VsdWnPOSP9oMRMOxaE.nJMoKADP3tfQrXOqTlzJQ5Bj0Wt30owNt07rk_deXk0&dib_tag=se&keywords=badge+tie+and+gun&qid=1721195061&s=books&sprefix=badge+tie+and+gun%2Cstripbooks%2C59&sr=1-1 The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodrigues and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

    #TBR235 - Whiskey and Oatcakes
    Jul 26 2024
    Steve emigrated to Illinois in the USA in 2004 - some would say to get away from his brother and co-host of Tall Boy Radio, Dave. His Wife worked in the pottery industry and had a specialist position that they were crying out for in the US whilst the industry declined in the UK. We take a look at life in the US through the eyes of a Brit. Politics, sports, gun control, the education system.... no topic is off the table. Steve brought a Japanese Whiskey, we supplied an Irish Whiskey and a local delicacy called oatcakes and shot the breeze. The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

    #TBR234 - The Election Special
    Jul 19 2024
    We went live on Election night to speculate on how the country had voted. The expectation was that it would be a landslide victory for Labour. We looked at whether this was a movement in favour of Labour or a case of anyone than the Tories. We shared how we voted and questioned each other's thoughts on the decisions we had made. We share our opinions on Farage (and the Farage-o-meter). Only time will tell whether this has been a positive change.

    #TBR233 - (Every) Midlife Crisis (should involve a Harley Davidson)
    Jul 12 2024
    Rupert Newman joined us to talk about his love for motorbikes. He may very well deny that it was a by-product of a Midlife Crisis... but not every Midlife Crisis is a 💩 show. There's a dawning realisation that your time on this Earth is short and shortens with every passing second. Rupert got his first motorbike in his mid-40s - which is the average age that one does, apparently - since then he's been on some epic journeys. Go grab yourself a cold one and check it out.

    #TBR232 Politics begins at home
    Jul 5 2024
    As the results of the Election are announced, we look at whether we should be voting for the party you support nationally or choosing someone to represent you and what's important to you locally. We take a brief look at Alsager and the candidates that you could have voted for. Do leaders debates influence the way people vote? Then we have a good ol' bicker about whether the Tory party are a bunch of self-serving liars, only out to line their pockets and the pockets of their rich benefactors or whether it's a belligerent media that portrays them that way. Yes we disagree and fundamentally despise each other's beliefs but ultimately we're still friends. Politics definitely angries up the blood! Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and enjoy the 💩 show. The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rodriguez and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford. tallboyradio.com

    #TBR231 - The King of Indie Podcasting
    Jun 28 2024

    Last year Beans and his cousin Beau guested on B Word's podcast Unfiltered Discussions to share their story of how they uncovered the missing branch in the family tree. Since then we knew we had to return the favour and get B-Word on to share his Podcasting journey. He began his journey with Bleach Bros a legendary show which, like Tall Boy Radio, bounced around and had a different topic each week... and if you don't know where they got their name, tune in to this episode - it cracked us up! His Unfiltered Discussions is a fantastic podcast where he discusses sensitive issues each week with his guest... he also is one quarter of the Raunchy Regret podcast, which is something different again. It was great to hear his take on Indie Podcasting as he tears it up with his B Word Media Group which has a number of other podcasts... and all in between he has great guests on Unfiltered Discussions like Burt Ward. Grab yourself a listen to his podcast here : Unfiltered Discussions | Podcast on Spotify The opening music is "London Bayou" by Oscar Albis Rogrigues and the closing music is "BDS" by Lewis Pickford.

    #TBR230 - Euros, Elections and Entertainment
    Jun 21 2024
    This week we share our opinions on The 2024 European Championships : Can England win it? If not England then who will? Why when England win their first game 1-0 do the fans have a grumble when France do, their fans celebrate it. We also take a look at the upcoming General Election : Will the Tories get battered? Will Labour do any better than the abysmal last parliament? How will Farage and Reform affect the vote? Finally we take a look at tattoos - neither Gaz or Dave have them so what would it take to get them. Go grab yourself a cold one, kick back and enjoy.
