TBR : The Book Review

After Gaz had a disagreement with is daughter about how JK Rowling is a just a poorman’s knock off of JRR Tolkien, he decided he wanted to take to the airwaves and further rub salt into the wounds after his glorious victory over his offspring in this debate. Did he win – or he did

Come at me, Bro!

Let’s deal with the sensible bit first… We tried a great beer – the first beer from the Double Trouble drunks beer club. The Ally Pale ale. We’re all fully signed up members of the beer club and the first rule of beer club is do talk about beer club! They only make 501 of

Unsolved Crime

It’s another serious topic this week. The world of unsolved crime. Beans, Gaz and Andy each pick a cold case and share what it is that captured the interest of the general public, if not the perp. We take a look at the case and ask why has this one not been solved. Andy’s up

Where were you when…?

Certain events stop the world… and when they do, your mind takes a freeze frame of that moment. We take a look at two such moments that have happened in our lives. The first is the day that Princess Diana died in a tragic car accident in Paris and the second is the day that

Sporting heroes

Gaz loves to talk about sport. We all like to talk about sport but Gaz really like to talk about sport. In this episode, we pick our three sporting figures who have inspired us. Andy is a Man United and Detroit Lines fan. Gaz an Everton and Chicago Bears fan. Beans is a Pittsburgh Steelers

The dark side of wrestling

Behind the glitz and the glamour, there’s many sad tales to be told. The stories of wrestlers passing away before they reach 40 are plentiful. In fact it almost feels like the ones that make it beyond that birthday are the rare ones. As is the TBR way, we don’t sensationalise their deaths but instead

The golden age of WWF wrestling

Back in the day, we used to love WWF wrestling. You read that write WWF. Before it was WWE it was WWF and it was awesome. Yes, okay, we were kids and we knew no better but the characters were larger than life, literally. It was crazy but it was fun. Way back before Hulk

Tall Boy’s Den

We recorded this episode back in November 2020. Scott and David of Double Trouble Drinks got in touch with us about their forthcoming appearance on BBC1’s Dragon’s Den. They were pitching for a £20,000 investment for 5% of their business… from Peter Jones et al not from us! They wanted a realistic dry run of

Dreams Part 2 : Dream Journals

First of all we need to give a massive shout-out to Gaz’s daughter, Amy for holding us to account on this one. She basically said “you keep promising to do a load of follow-up episodes. Isn’t it about time you actually did one?” So here it is – our first follow-up episode that we promised.

’80s music

There’s 80s music and there’s good music made in the 1980s. Stereotypical 80s music is God awful, cheese-on-a-stick, find-me-on-the-soundtrack-of-Top-Gun, made for profit, no artistic merit sh*t. Then there’s the good stuff that was made in the 1980s and that’s the stuff we talk about. Andy was genuinely surprised that Beans didn’t make this an episode
