Deep in the Heart of Lessons
Surprise!! We're Back!! After a year hiatus and a lot of soul searching we make our return to the podcast realm and discuss new projects and everything on the horizon. Since we last left you, Nicholas has moved to Austin, TX after a few tumultuous months and situations and talks about the lessons hes learned, Addison speaks about self expectations and we completely lambast the idea of cancel culture and people with a refusal to accept growth and change. (Music: "Heretic's Fork" by Snake Father)

Don't Wake Me Up If I'm Dreaming

We truly lived by the phrase "Beware the Ides of March" as we return after a month long hiatus that saw us put March in the rearview. We discuss our faith (or complete lack thereof), Addison talks about being in a committed relationship and almost enrolling in bible college, Nicholas talks the most dreaded month on his calendar, recent anxiety issues, his recent show/travel experiences and feeling out of sorts with a few close friends. We talk last weeks "lost" episode that was more like a lot of us being snippy back and forth and we prepare for next week's big "Ask Addy Daddy" venture. March fucking sucked, but not as much as the band Pillar. (Music: "Lipgloss & Letdown" by A Static Lullabye)

The Bad News Bearers

At some point in our life, we all get that bad news call that shakes our world. Whether it is the passing of a loved one, a loss of job, or the end of a relationship, we all must find a way to process bad news. This past week, Nicholas received a potential "goodbye" phone call from a friend that rocked his world. We will use this situation to assess the best ways to process bad news and how to cope while you are feeling the process. We also look back at some listener comments regarding last week's episode. This episode is dedicated to our dear friend Brandon Austin. Get well soon, buddy! (Music: "Masquerade" by Brandon Austin feat. Cana Roth-Austin)

Bros Before Cosmo

We all have that friend that ditches us as soon as they get a significant other. Why is it like this with certain friends? And how do we speak up about it without causing friction or hurting feelings? We look right to one of the most trusted sources for information on dating and how to approach this...That's right, ladies and gentlemen. This week we consult "Cosmopolitan" to remedy all of our angst. We discuss some past incidents involving our own past significant others and try to assess how we should have better handled these situations. We also read a message from an offended listener ready to give Addison a piece of his mind and use it as an opportunity for growth and seeing something from an alternate perspective.

Two Years Resolutions

Its a new era here at "Tall, Dark and Random" and were starting fresh with more topics and serious conversation and less of the drunken banter about wrestling and Super Nintendo.  This week, we start the new year and our new format by reading letters to ourselves two years into the future with hopes we can use some new techniques to manifest positivity and success in our life's journey. Addison shares his perspective on how people handle the deaths of celebrities and Nicholas gives rebuttal. FINALLLLLLY! A real episode!!!! (Music: "Close Your Eyes" by Digging Graves)

A Little, Short Trip Somewhere
Tis the season for drunken sentiment. Does anyone remember the show California Dreams? Why are we so sentimental about baby clothes? Why did Nick slap that camera out of Ahn’s hands? Does anyone else have a phobia of flying? Just press play. (Music: “Con Que Derecho” by Los Canarios)

Hola, Me Llamo Addison...

We're back again after another lengthy absence. This week we talk about our whereabouts and some things going on in our lives. Addison returns from Mexico, Nicholas returns from the brink of insanity and somewhere in there we find the alcohol and do what we do best. Good to be back with our listeners!

All Burned Out!
Very close to depression lies a condition nearly just as common to the American worker...Burnout. On this episode we delve into the symptoms and feelings surrounding those times when you just feel like you can't bring yourself to get up and do much of anything. Have any of you experienced this lately? How routinely do you feel this happens to you? Addison takes over hosting duties this week in a well researched episode that we somehow manage to ruin with booze. (Music: “Actin Crazy” by Action Bronson)

Don’t Call Me Haystacks
On this episode we examine the listener responses stemming from our last episode, an interview with Roger Montez. From heart broken to deeply inspired, we share actual responses to an incredible interview/story. Addison talks about some of his history in law enforcement and then determines he might want to franchise a Denny’s instead. Order up a grand slam breakfast and a few bud lights in a bottle and have some fun going through some incredible responses from effected listeners. (Music: “Don’t Call Me Peanut” by Bayside)

Far Removed from the Men We Were with Roger Montez
On October 5th, 2017 former master patrol officer Roger Montez responded to a call that would change his (and many other lives) forever. During a standoff with police, an armed 29 year old man made his way towards officer Montez (and other officers) who pleaded for the man to show them his hands. During this incident, officer Montez and a sheriff's deputy were put into the position of having to fire upon the suspect, which ultimately took his life. Prior to this incident, Roger Montez had already dealt with unthinkable amounts of mental anguish in his own personal life. On this episode of "Tall, Dark & Random" we will be joined by Roger Montez himself and hear this incredibly emotional story in his own words. While many layers of his tale are considered dark and tragic, Montez has found a way to see the light at the end of the tunnel and has turned some harrowing moments into hope while finding a way to help other people survive, understand and accept their own personal tragedies. Our thoughts and good vibes go out to everyone affected by the incident we will be speaking about in this episode. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.

On last weeks show we shared Body Image stories sent in by our listeners and the response was so incredible we had to do a part 2! Join us for some responses to last weeks show as well as more listener stories of body image issues that have plagued them in life. Do you know anyone who is constantly put down by their own parents? Do you feel insecure because of a scar or or birthmark? Did you grow up obese with everybody constantly reminding you? Do you know how to talk to your children about interacting with people afflicted with disabilities? These are just a few of the topics we have (and will continue) to discuss on this weeks episode. Thank you to all of the brave listeners who contributed their stories that will undoubtedly help someone else who is tuning in. We are all in this together! (Music: "No One Really Wins" Copeland)

Why Can’t I Be What You Need? : Part 1
Why are so many of us critical of the way we look? Why do we attempt to find our value in our weight or in how we dress? Why are the first things we choose to see about ourselves mostly always something negative? This week we examine the topic of body image as told through the responses of our listeners. We would like to thank each and every person who wrote in! This topic is officially our most responded to topic in the shows history. We had so many responses, we had to make it a two part affair. Tune in for a huge dose of depth, courage and lessons learned. (Music: "Autumn's Monologue" by From Autumn to Ashes)

The Perks of Being a “Dun-Dun”
After a sad, emo hiatus on par with the book “the perks of being a wallflower”, we return with a massive declaration of complete irrelevance. Where have we been? Why don’t we read books twice?

The answer is absolutely nothing at all...but you should click play anyways on this random ass edition of the podcast. (Music: “The Color of Money” by Bury Your Dead.)

Keto, Schmeeto!
It’s our 50th episode and we’re supremely dedicated to helping you trim the fat. As the new year approaches, many of us will be setting diet and wellness goals and not know who genuinely wants to help us in our journey and who simply wants to sell us crap products from their shitty distributors. Belly wraps? Thrive? Keto? Beach Body? CrossFit? Which diet fads are genuinely helpful and which are certified bullshit? We take a look at our personal experiences and give our takes on this subject on a landmark edition of the program. Holy crap, we made it to episode 50!!!
