The Podcast With No Name

Episode 18 - The Invention of Getting Old (Part Two)

Carson, the self-proclaimed instant coffee connoisseur, explains the importance of the ground-breaking invention of the espresso coffee machine, while the rest of the boys, still bitter about how old they all are now, ponder the many inventions that have made our lives easier over the years. They receive homework from Moses to write their own eulogies for the next episode which will re-visit the themes of death and getting old.

Episode 17 - The Invention of Getting Old (Part One)

With death, in terms of years lived, well and truly closer than the day of our birth, we ponder the thought of who we’d invite to our funerals if COVID 19 restrictions still applied at the time. Age marches on for all of us, and we reach the very real conclusion that all of us are showing increased signs of foot-traffic(With very large boots). Are we already willing to submit to a life in managed care?

Episode 16 - The Thanos Theory (Part Two)

In this second-part-conclusion to “The Thanos Theory” series, the boys discuss how welfare and the responsibilities of good government can lead to intervention that plays an important part in helping its citizens through times of need. Not all of the men talking over beer agree on these points, nor do they all agree on the perceived sacrifice of older lives in favour of the young. It makes for some interesting and often heated discussion... and Moses still can't remember our names!!

Episode 15 - The Thanos Theory (Part One)

With way too much material, we decided to split this episode over two weeks. Part one of the series is for fans of The Marvel Universe, and we titled it “The Thanos Theory” It concerns the comparisons between the character of Thanos and his destruction of half the population, against the current state of the pandemic we are all living through… and the inability of Moses to remember our names!!

Episode 14 - Freddy and the Old Men

The older heads of the group, namely all of the group, are joined by one significantly younger head named Freddy. They discuss school, old friends and Freddy is counselled about the virtues of enjoying his single life for as long as he can. Wether or not that is enough to convince him remains to be seen.

Episode 13 - I Dream of a Carson Eulogy

With Carson missing in action the men talking over beer are worried that he may not return. They are faced with the very real prospect of a life without Carson. Their thoughts turn to dreams, often horrific dreams, and the Carson eulogy is born. Helping Moses, Eddie and Sidney with their grief this week are Jamos and Morty. We apologise in advance.

Episode 12 - The Dog House Series (Part Two)

In this, the second part of “The Dog House Series” Sidney and Eddie together face off with their first Maryanne live in the studio. This is no less than Grahame’s Maryanne. Interestingly Grahame is in the studio too, but for some reason he is rendered speechless as Maryanne takes no prisoners and tells it like it is. Enjoy this rare female perspective on just how difficult it must be to live with one of the men talking over beer co-hosts. 

** Please Note ** Carson (For reasons known only to himself) has chosen not to be a part of this episode so his voice has been edited out at his request **

Episode 11 - The Dog House Series (Part One)

Grahame, Eddie, Sidney and Carson look back on those times in their lives when their Maryanne may have put them in the dog house. Was this a harsh punishment for a terrible crime? …or did they have no idea that a crime was even committed? In this the first part of “The Dog House Series” please join the men talking over beer and help them to untie this confusing knot in the tangled rope of human relationships.

Episode 10 - Was It Really 16 Questions?

Grahame has always been known for thinking outside of the box, and this episode is no exception. This marks the introduction of a brand new segment… ‘Grahame’s Sixteen Question Quiz’ This is a revelation in the podcast space, but as with so many things in lives of the men talking over beer, we come up a little short (Just ask the Maryanne’s) delivering only fourteen of the promised sixteen questions.

Episode 9 - Can You Socially Distance Your Pants...?

The men talking over beer adjust to the new world of social distancing. Carson is at home 150km away, but it becomes clear immediately that this void is not always a bad thing. Working from home remotely, and indeed even remote podcasts will be the way of the future and as always we are slightly behind the curve on this one.
