The Barry Bullock Hour

Episode 066 - The Commodification of Artistic Practice

After eighteen months without a recording, The Barry Bullock Hour attacks when you least expect it! BANG! Five days before Christmas. After a full year without fresh content, the boys are back with a Christmas miracle of their own. 

Not content to rest on their laurel (wreaths), episode sixty-six is a boozy big hitter, just like the beers they drink - broaching new ground and going where the podcast has never been before. A Brunswick beer crawl encompassing three Brunswick pubs - Co-conspirators, Inner North, and Bridge Road brewing, including a large chunk of chat recorded on the street. With not enough content for a double-header, the year's one and only episode is also the LONGEST. EPISODE. EVER. 

Go once. Go big. Go hard. Sage words for the festive period. 

Merry christmas everyone!

Episode 065 - Injury Time

RECORDED JULY 2023

Well it's only taken nine months, but part two of July 2023's classic boozy double header is finally here! 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 lists are born. But if death was in fact on your doorstep, what would the last meal be? KFC? Only the deepest of philosophical questions on the #BarryBullockHour!

Episode 064 - French Chefs on German Mopeds

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. A golden spatula amongst them, no less!

Cal enjoys his final child-free days by doing something stupid, the #WheelOfForfeit returns, and Eric's French chef doppelganger arrives just in time to deliver some culinary mayhem as only Chef Ericque can.

All this and more in the latest craft beer-fuelled comedy rampage!

Episode 063 - Mankad The World A Better Place

Episode 63 is here, and the second part of truly memorable and very boozy double-header! 

If you haven't listened to episode 62 - aka part one yet, you are strongly advised to do so. As there are SPOILERS WITHIN. 

This episode focuses on making the world a better place, and where better place to start than beer, cricket, and public transport! A blind tasting occurs. More sorbet is eaten. And Kieran fires off a couple of rampant #BigDogBones. All this and so much more in episode sixty-three!

Episode 061 - Christmas Confessional at Braeside Brewing

'Tis the season! The season for Christmas-themed podcasts!

The Barry Bullock Hour Christmas Party episode is here, and contains next to no Christmas content! Other than wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy holidays, which is compulsory for the form.

Instead the conversation opens with a special #ChristmasConfession, and the Big Dog making his timely return to the podcast. Chat then turns to the wide world of chilli sauces, and then to the slightly-less-wide world of bidets. It's the Christmas episode you didn't know you wanted! But it's the Christmas episode you got.**

**this blurb contains the word 'christmas' more times than the actual episode.

Episode 060 - ”Beer Is A Health Food”

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 that has Kieran frothing.

And speaking of frothing, Cal demands the ceremonial blindfold be donned as he lays down a beery gauntlet for Kieran to meander through. But what's the twist that lays at the end of the four beers? There's only one way to find out!

Episode 059 - Live from the Yarra Park Magpie Swooping Championships

It's #BarryBullockHour episode fifty-nine, coming to you from Yarra Park in Melbourne! Where the beers are cold, the spring sun is warm, and the magpies are swooping!

Eric's partner Ikue joins us for a little bit of #ParkEnergy, as Melbourne's flirtation with warmer weather drives us to crack out the picnic blanket. The changing seasons remain a topic of conversation, with Eric's northern hemisphere habits not fading so quickly. Pumpkin Chat ensues. 

All this and more on the latest Barry Bullock Hour!

Episode 058 - ”Don’t Mind Me, I’ve Had a Couple of Rieslings”

It's #BarryBullockHour episode 58, and it's a glorious late-night affair, fuelled by Blackman Brewing's finest, and also... wine??

Another classic Bullock-and-CMac mess-around, Kieran kicks things off with a newish segment, and reminds us all that the Commonwealth Games are still a thing, but they might just be alright? Cal returns serve with a bone and spatula of his own, before a fortutious can holder prompt a walk down memory lane - this time to the wild depths of the southern state, Tasmania. 

A glorious and whimsical ramble through topics old and new, it's another perfect slice of Barry Bullock Hour chaos. And it's all yours! Enjoy it, and share it if you must!

Episode 057 - Jagerbombs, Truth Bombs, and Vanessa Amorosi

It's another #GABS redux as we tackle the mighty behemoth that is the Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular Mixed Beer Box, and it is full of big boozy boys! Which is what would be if we tried to drink the whole box. 

A return to the Kensington Palace sees Cal crack out the guitar and the Barry Bullock Hour Wheel of Forfeit - but who will it be that gets to #SpinTheWheel?!  And will last episode's jokes about the demise of Eric Cox be about to backfire?? 

All of this and more from the Westbourne studios!
